Chapter 39 (1/2)
Thirty-Ninth Episode~ Item Box
Editor’s Corner: We are still looking a proofreader. This chapter is slowly restoring my faith in the MC and Author. Anyways, Stay beautiful my friends and Enjoy!
“-Chi, that “rotting Dwarf” is still alive…well then, I’ll return soon.”
Kuna says so in a high-pitched voice and goes to lock the prison but when she extends her arm- I instantly move.
Activating that <skill> I store mana in both of my arms.
Fuuun, I forcibly break the black shackles binding my wrists.
A dull sound echoes-ite.
Because I broke it forcibly, some of the skin around is torn and I am bleeding.
Ma, since the wound heals immediately it does not matter.
I release Rollo’s feet.
In the small gaps on the black constraints, I store mana in my fingers and am careful to not hurt Rollo when I free her.
Kuna leaks a “eh” voice when my arms become free.
The key Kuna was holding falls to the floor.
With an expression of shock her body rises into the air as she lets out a small groan.
This happens because I activated the <magic thought=”” guidance=”” hand=””> skill.
With the <distorted mana=”” hand=””> I grasp Kuna’s body to crush her.
Her scaled arms twist in the vice and she bends into the く character.
The sound of an apple being crushed and an abnormal noise of meat being ground up echoes.
“H-how, u… gu-gatsu.”
Kuna’s tail hanging between her legs draws an arch as she mutters in pain, the tip extends out to my face.
I grab the tail with one hand and stop it.
-Surprising.
Even though I crushed her chest to pieces she still counter attacked…
This stubbornness. As expected of a demonic being.
Moreover, there is a needle at the tip of the tail with a liquid dripping out.
Oi, this is poison.
“Y-you…”
“Kuna-san, it’s regrettable. I will return the favor from before. How about I tease you a little and then kill you?”
I strengthen the grip of the “distorted mana hand.”
I squeeze tighter.
“Gahha.”
The demonic being Kuna vomits purple blood from her mouth and her purple face is trembling.
I break Kuna’s needle tail and forcibly pull it.
“Gyaa!”
“Noisy.”
Oh, yeah, does she have a soul?
I manipulate the <magic thought=”” guidance=”” hand=””> and bring the bloodly body of Kuna right in front of me.
I bring her face close so that Kuna’s eye bordered in black and purple meet mine.
I see her eyes clearly.
“Kuna…you tricked me. However, I did the same thing to you. I’m not human either.”
Kuna’s eyes dilate at my words.
“Didn’t you say ‘tooo baaaad’ to me?”
With a wicked smile, I give Kuna her last words.
Immediately I bury my face in the purple scruff of the transformed Kuna, and suck her blood.
Light begins to flow because of “soul sucking.”
I taste her soul. I unconsciously tremble with excitement at the exhilarating feeling.
That moment, Kuna the demonic being suddenly dries up.
Furthermore, large ten centimeter insects fall out of her upper body.
What? Did insects live inside Kuna’s neck?
The accessories Kuna wore fall to the ground with a metallic sound along with the insects and corpse.
The sound echoes.
Did that monster called a G.o.do come out?
…However, its figure does not appear.
The metallic sound does not seem to reach outside the prison.
I do not have my favorite black spear so I am slightly uneasy.
Ma, I can only fight if it comes.
First, I should check the items Kuna wore.
I stoop down to the floor after treading on the insect husks strewn about.
I will start with her rings.
Three rings fell to the floor.
I can tell the rings are special because how they’re designed.
The rings that produced the light spheres is the triangular triforce.
I try it out and I try to put it on, but…
It is only big enough to fit on the tip of my ring finger…
Ma, I’ll force it on. Next is this bracelet.
The small sun-like crest symbol has a small depression in it.
I touch the crest symbol.
It does not react. I may need to equip it.
Saying that, I put it on my wrist. I reject my left wrist since that is where the chain ejects from.
So, I place it on my right wrist.
I place the bracelet on my right wrist.
Then, the metal bracelet suddenly tightens to fit my wrist.
Oo, its movements surpa.s.s shape memory alloy.
I touch the surface. There is still no reaction.
Kuna uttered a word while touching the surface with the opposite hand.
I will imitate her.
“Open.” (TL: Open is English.)
Uo, nearly instantly there is a reaction.
My left hand is drawn in. and a window appears from the sun disk.
The light green rhombus ◆ window, has a humanoid model, storage, and menus with that mark icon are displayed.
While looking under the character menus, the item column is displayed.

Various items are stored inside so I need to take some time to inspect this.
“Oooii, someone out there?”
While I was checking the items, I hear a deep voice from a neighboring prison cell.
He spoke out earlier.
I am interested in who is talking so I will go look.
I close the item bock, and head to the cell the voice is coming from after I pick the fallen key ring.
In the cell is a stagnating pool of s.h.i.+ning fluorescent water.
The surface of the water is reflected on the ceiling, creating mysterious designs.
“I’m here, I’m the person who was going to go next to you.”
“What!? You were able to get out? Help me!”
“Leaving that aside, why are you imprisoned? Except…why is your room flooded with the oddly colored water?”
I hear a *basha* sound of slapping the surface of the water.
“Mm, that, question. Please take me from here! I am Henkai son of Richa of the Bundando clan of Langur Kingdom. My body may be like this, but I was called the Silken Commander Henkai. If you release me I will swear loyalty to you!”
Langur Kingdom, loyalty?
Saying strange things…like Silken Commander, I do not understand.
It is like the nuanced of a warring age, but…
“I don’t need your loyalty. I will help you even if you don’t say such a thing?”
“W-what, understand. Thank you. So, please. Help me!”
I cannot see his face from here, but since he is giving off the feeling of being driven into a corner I might as well help.
“Now then. I will help you, Henkai. Wait a moment.”
“Oooh, thank you.”
I fumble through the keys I took from Kuna while trying to find the one for the cell.
After trying several keys, a key finally slides in with a click.
Bingo. (TL: English)
I open the heavy iron door and enter the prison cell.
“Oi, is it safe to touch the pool of fluorescent water?”
“It’s fine. I’m fine as long as I don’t drink it. This is the extracted magic essence that has begun to mix with the magic jewels in the earth. I will get power if I drink it…but I will also suffer from magic essence poisoning…”
“Gu…”
The extract reacts to the words immediately and begins to spread.
To begin with, what are the magic jewels in the earth?
“Please remove this collar first.”
Then, I look at the owner of the deep voice for the first time.
Are, he is very round…
That, his head is shaped like an onion.
The onion oyaji moves his neck and nods his head up and down.
His hair is long and unkempt…
A huge iron chain is binding his neck to the wall and his upper body is completely soaked in the fluorescent pool.
It looks painful. I must help him.
“…Got it, I’ll remove it.”
“Nya.”
Rollo reacts to the strange glowing pool.
