Chapter 35: The Wonder of the Demonic Hand and the Girl’s Inner Turmoils Himekishi ga Classmate Isekai Cheat de Dorei ka Harem (1/2)
「Then, are you telling me that Nana has merged with the “Divine Corpse”?」
「Yes….Although it is not easy to believe, everything points to this fact」
After returning to the underground village of the dark elves, we were made to hear an unbelievable truth from Dianne.
「All the parts of the divine corpse that was supposed to be enshrined in the interior alter has completely disappeared」
「I’m sorry, Master and Sierra’s elder sister-san. I didn’t think that just by touching it, it would result in this outcome」
Nana was bowing her head in apology, and her obedient gesture totally didn’t suit her gigantic figure. Even now, her right arm was completely covered in a translucent huge crystal, you could say that it was even larger than a whole person. It almost seemed like she was a robot that had a special attachment on her right arm.
「Well, now that it’s come to this, it can’t be helped…..But, Nana, is your body fine?」
「Umu? Nana is completely fine」
「Apparently, the material covering her arm is made out of the same crystals that erodes my body……….But at least for now, the corruption has stopped spreading at her arms」
Dianne gently extended the tip of her brown finger to Nana’s crystallised arm as she explained. I have heard that the condition of her body continues to deteriorate as the crystals gradually spread wider across her body. When I thought about this fact, I couldn’t help but worry that one day Nana would also have her whole body covered in the corrupted crystals.
「Nn…….Wait. There is a possibility that…..Oi Nana. Can you please try touching the part of Dianne’s body that is covered with the crystals with your right hand?」
「Like…this?」
「Slavemancer, What are you trying to….?」
Everyone had a mysterious look on their faces as they were confused at what I was trying to achieve. In any case I went ahead and gave Nana an “Absolute Order”.
「—-『Return』!」
In that moment a surprising thing occurred.
Just like pieces of iron sand drawn to a magnet, the crystals which had been covering Dianne’s body all across her stomach started to move and become attracted to Nana’s arm!
「O-Onee-sama your body is returning to normal…….Wh-what is happening…..?」
「Eh? Ehhh. This is….What is going on…..!?」
Dianne’s dark elf under boob area and all across the side of her stomach was returning to her original bewitching tanned body, as the crystals started to disappear one by one and is replaced with her normal skin.
「This is amazing Master! How did you do it!?」
「No, to be precise the one who did this is Nana. All I did was order her, I never expected such a great result though….」
Nana’s arm was not a virus that would spread across her body, in actual fact it was the Divine Corpse itself embedded into her arm. Going by that logic, I presumed that her arm acted like a master key to the virus and by giving an order to “return” it would have no choice but to obey it’s former master. In such a case, I thought that if I gave her the order to direct the crystals, she would be able to succeed in attracting the crystals from Dianne’s body.
This is precisely the phenomenon that occurred just now.
「How…How can I ever repay this debt? Slavemancer……!」
Even if it was Dianne, her pupils which couldn’t see had tears streaming down her face as her body was shaking in happiness.
「Thank you…..Thank you so much, My Lord!」
Sierra was unusually speaking in a loud voice as she was truly delighted, Munyuuu Munyuu…….Her gigantic breasts which was the largest out of all the girls were pushing up against me as she hugged me tightly.
「Muu~ Everyone is just praising Master……But Nana also tried her hardest you know?」
「Fufufu, We also know Nana-chan is really amazing, there, there」
Nana’s gigantic figure was sulking and Nina extended her hands in order to pat her like puppy.
「Not only that Nana-chan seems to have powered up and because of that, you managed to save me from a predicament a little while ago!」
「Ou, I’ve become really strong!If it’s like this, I feel like I will become even more useful to Master!」
Certainly, just when Nina was about to be crushed by the impending remnants from Flamia’s attack, Nana came and easily repelled the attack with her arm, honestly her arm transcended the laws of nature and magic, it was a completely ridiculous “existence”.
Not only that, the phenomenon a little while ago…….and the powers it showed us, are only a small part of the incomplete Divine Corpse.
In that case, what if we managed to obtain the rest of the Divine Corpse, and if one day we are able to control the full extent of such a power, what would happen then?
……I think I can understand and relate to Iblis, as to why she would want this kind of power for herself.
Also I wonder why Nana is different from Dianne, she did not get corroded by the Divine Corpse and instead she managed to integrate herself with the Divine Corpse? Is it because she’s a magical being? Or is it for different reason entirely…..? Well even if I rack my brains right now, I won’t get the answer.
「At any rate, it is just as Nina says, you have done really well Nana, this is all thanks to you. I also want to praise you and give you my thanks, Nana」
「Hehehe……You’re making me blush, Master」
Her camera like eyes, were flickering a pinkish color.
…….Is that what she looks like when she’s shy?
「By the way, where did Himeno-san go?」
「If you are looking for Kirika, then she’s currently with the doctor of the dark elves. Although there wasn’t any great injuries on her body, she seemed to suffer from a deep exhaustion due to fighting many consecutive battles one after another….」
As expected Sistina would be worried about her. Well it’s an understandable thing.
She expended a huge amount of energy during the battle, and even though she took the potion from the dark elf tribe which was said to be a miracle drug, it’s better if I go see her when I have the time.
However——if the story I heard from the girls were true then…. I wonder which mysterious existence, secretly treated Kirika when she fell into the forest of the elves after her battle with Flamia……..?
「Tooru, as expected…….You made that Flamia, into one of your magical slaves didn’t you? 」
I was preparing to return to the room that was prepared for me, and it was at this moment that Palmyra came up to talk. On the contrary, I didn’t feel any blaming tone in her voice as she talked to me about this matter.
「Ahh. You already know, that I have completed her enslavement already」
After being defeated in the fierce battle, Flamia had not awoken yet. Taking advantage of the situation, I completed my subjugation arts on her and enslaved her.
Following Palmyra, this is the second demoness noble that I’ve made into one of my magical slaves…..Obviously it is needless to say that I gained a large amount of experience which led to me levelling up.
「Also in regards to the matter of the “Devil’s Contract” if I spend a little time on it, it should end without any trouble. Although it may put a slight burden on her body, and she is likely to sense this when she wakes up」
「Is that so….?」
Unlike Palmyra, Flamia was already contracted to her own elder sister Iblis.
So that Iblis is unable to steal magic from the contract in the future, it is necessary for me to renew a contract with Flamia. Naturally, this isn’t like some internet provider contract and I didn’t need Iblis’s permission to revoke her original contract.
「Do you think it’s weird that I am accepting the fact that you are putting her in our group so easily jya?」
「Well, Honestly I am」
For many years, Palmyra has seeked out revenge on her sworn enemy Flamia…… Or even if she didn’t feel that strongly about Flamia, I would have thought that she would have at least got angry and tried to stop me from putting Flamia in our party…
「Hmph, victory or defeat in battle is the usual state of things. Moreover, my final purpose is to overthrow Iblis from her position and regain my name as part of the noble eight jya. If it is possible to acquire more war potential for that cause, then for me it is a convenient thing」
「………You’ve surprised me a little, because that is exactly what I was going to say in order to convince you. Unexpectedly, you are quite the adult aren’t you?」
「Ah, isn’t it obvious jya, how long do you think I’ve lived!? I’m obviously different from Flamia who always acts like a kid!」
Her cute gesture of puffing her cheeks, along with her immature body which seemingly will never grow any further, was truly childlike, but I didn’t mention this fact to her.
「Hey….Tooru, I want to ask you one thing」
「Hm?」
From under her silver hair, her red eyes were silently looking at me.
「In our previous battle, why did you risk your own body to that extent? Why did you allow me to gain victory over Flamia taking such an unreasonable action nojya?」
「That’s because……At that point in time, I thought that it would succeed, would you be satisfied with this answer, I wonder?」
I was scratching my head whilst answering in a vague manner, but her eyes continued to stare at me. It was clear that she wasn’t satisfied with my answer.
「Ahh…..If I was forced to say, it was because of your eyes」
「My eyes……..?」
「Your fearful and subservient gaze whenever your looked at Flamia. No matter when I saw it, I would instantly feel angry」
Yes, I also know that look very well.
It’s that look on your face when you’ve already given up everything before it even starts, cursing the unjustness of the world and thinking that no matter what you do, it will be useless. Watching the ground with glazed eyes turning your back towards the possibility of success, it is the gaze of a defeated dog.
If for nothing else, I wanted to get rid of that defeatist look that has always stayed within my own eyes……..At least before coming into this world.
I don’t want to see that kind of look anymore.
Therefore, based on a sudden thought I wanted to erase that look from her face. Just like how I managed to change, I wondered if she could also change.
Of course, all of this was just based on my own whims, it’s the kind of action you take for self-satisfaction. I’m not really a good or virtuous person.
「…….Is that so? Indeed, I have had that kind of look on my face for several hundred years……However, I believe that I have a different look now?」
Kufufu, her fangs were protruding as she laughed and certainly she had a nice look on her face.
Overcoming her long trauma, because she obtained the feeling of getting unbound by her past, it is likely that this has influenced how she felt about including Flamia in the team.
「Ahh, As expected of the demoness who became my magical slave. When you smile like that, you look truly beautiful, you know? Palmyra」
「Wha……..!? I-I’m not hoping for that kind of answer, okkaay…..!」
「Heh, then what kind of answer were you expecting?」
Auu, the little demoness noble turned her eyes away whilst blushing.
Before we knew it, we arrived at the private room that was prepared for me.
Palmyra’s small hands were tightly grasping the hem of my robe without letting go.
「Th…..That is, because I forcibly casted my most powerful secret arts, my magical reserves have been depleted…….A-and isn’t it your job to manage the health of your magical slaves? 」
Palmyra’s eyes were glittering as she glanced back and forth.
Ahh crap, this girl is so cute!
「What I mean to say is, C…Could you pour it into me directly……Kyaaau!? To-Tooru what are you—-?」
I didn’t hold back any longer and grabbed her light loli body in a princess style carry and I dashed into the bedroom.
「Well then tell me, where do you want it poured into you, from the front? Or the back?」
「Tsu……! B….both sides will…..be good, if you don’t do that, it might not, be enough….!」
