Ithe snake, and carefully observed her
And then, looking carefully at it
Though it was difficult to understand since it was smashed —- the『Mark of Contract』 was certainly that of a snake [TLC : Have a better name? 契約の紋様]
The 『Mark of Contract 』 It is a pattern that will surface on the bodies of any living things ician included
Since I had received a lesson fro『Mark of Contract 』 before, I had the basic knowledge of it
It was a ic
It sees like cats or ravens as familiars
There were also sos as familiars, too
And……there were those that raised snakes as familiar
It meant that this『Mark of Contract 』 was evidence that this snake was a faician
Could it be that the familiar accidentally slipped into my 『Garden』?
Or was it by the snake's master's command?
I thought it was probably the latter
But as that person's goal?
It was likely that there were no other humans who lived in the Great Prairie, aside from me
However, there ic
There existed, aic
And a the s
I ordered Reela to turn back and standby at the house, whereas I took to the sky
I headed towards a certain cave
Before, when I had just found the Great Prairie, I had continuously flown, spendingthe land
At that time, I saw a certain monster
Its upper body was that of a beautiful woman, but its lower body was a snake It was a lamia [ED: Just to note, las]
As for the race's special characteristics; it seeic users, who excel in ic by nature
I saw the lamia[i]
I sahere the lamia came out of by chance, from one of the several caves in the Great Prairie
But at that ti to communicate with them
I was going totowards that cave, for inquiry[ii]
I flew up to the cave and activated 《Concealment》, and snuck inside [PF : KYAAA~ CHIKAN!!! ]
The visibility wasn't poor, because a lot of lurew in the cave
I advanced carefully inside of the mysterious stalactite cave
That was because there ht be a trap
I thought that I already knew the general layout of the traps, thanks to previous warnings from the earth spirits that were everywhere in the cave, including the ceiling
「Who's there, I wonder? An idiot as trespassing, as he pleases, into my house?」
I heard a young woman's voice from the depths of the cave
It was the lamia
At the ti 《Conceal
Was there a special ic that detects intruders on entrance to the cave?
Or did she possibly sense son
「 Moreover, this presence, that quality of ht? Fuun, if that's the case… 」
After I heard that voice, the laht after
It was, a laht?
I was especially perplexed hat I saw, the lower body of the wos
Further and slender leg]
No, it seemed this lamia held the unique ability to transform into a human
Her face was that of beautiful woht be her real face, due to her own effort[iii]
The legs that grew frouise, that made her look like a human
「Ara ara Even though I'reat effort, even transfor myself into a huure from me Fine then, I will coic Release》」
My 《Concealment》 was released
Thi-that presuic to forcefully cancel another person's spirit ic?
It was the first tiic had been broken by another person
I didn't hide my surprise from the situation that I hadn't expected
「Ara……AraAraAraAra Arararararararaaa」
The beauty, that was a la at me
Correction, she sent a gaze, as if she wanted to lick my whole body
「Recently, I had presumed that it's the human who just arrived here recently but ……… In the dark, I couldn't see through ht, if I look closely …ufu」[iv]
The beautiful la lips
「Meeting suuu~~~~ch delicious looking trap …… ufu … ufufu」[PF : 男の子 can also read as shota, but I choose to use trap in this occassion]
Using her slightly long, red tongue, she licked her lips clean, with sensual gestures
「…………」
「Boy, this onee-san will give you lots of love; in various s, of course Ufu……ufufufufufufufufufufufufufu」
That somehow made my spine shi+ver
I felt chills and shi+vered
It felt like a snake coiling around my body
「Nee, Little Boy I wonder if you can't let me suck, just a lil' bit of blood, as a co? 」
It then ca boys [shota]
「It'll be aaall right, since it'll only hurt in the beginning」
「…… If it's just s my blood」
「Araa, you're surprisingly a good and obedient boy That kind of trap is my type …… to the point that I want to eat you Ufufufu In various s of course」[v]
「But answers first Are you the one who dispatched a snake familiar to my house? 」
The lale
「Yes, that's right」
She easily confessed
Though, I was quite certain that she was going to feign ignorance
「…… What was your intention by sending a familiar?」
「Ufu Since you're a cute one I will specially answer it Since I have no knowledge regarding hu to live in this great prairie I then chose one ast my snakes, my retainers, and the familiar of this lamia and sent it off for observation Then 《Transferred》 it using true ic into the vicinity of the house that you built」
Tran-《Transfer》!? [PF : al it for Trans-Am]
Even in doic civilization in the continent, only an extreic
Somehow this Laic [PF : not sure about this→ 最上級=arcane]
I shi+vered, recalling my opponent's ability, which was ination
Though
+++[Part 2______]
While it may be true that I felt intimidated, I didn't plan to return as a loser
They sent out familiars to spy us, to observe us… well fine
However, I wouldn't forgive her for having htened to that extent
Although, the wound to the body itself was superficial
I still wouldn't forgive it
My principle towards ht”[vi]
「I won't forgive it; your fairl, who is my slave」
I sent lare
The lamia spoke with composed expression and voice,
「AraAra Please don't look at me with that kind of scowl It was just a little prank of mine」[vii]
「……just a prank? 」
「Yes, that's right Since that beast girl looked so scared, it piqued my interest and I wanted to play a little prank on her So I did it through my snake familiar」
「Angela……That beast girl was bitten by your snake- and she bled」
「The wound was probably not that significant, so don't be so angry」
「…………」
「Besides―― naturally, the one that should be angry is me」
「What?」
「I mean, you…………」
The lamia cut off her remark for a moment
The laan to shi+ne like blood
「That fa it was not allowed」
……Gu……[viii]
Such a intent Furtherical power fros and retreated several steps
「If it's true, I definitely won't forgive it I' to tear you limb from limb
In addition, I will torhly, until you wish to be killed yourself
My snake fangs have a poison that will give you violent pain; to the point that it's unbearable I'll pour a countless nu snakes in a hole I'll only take you out fro you; how about it?」
「…………」
「But――the boy look really cute It's right in my strike zone」
That laers on her red lips
The killing intent vanished, as if it was a lie[ix]
Also, she exuded a pressure with hr overwhel maical power
「…………」
「I really love adorable traps nano Ufu, it's my favourite food nanoo」
「…………」
「Therefore, I will forgive you as a special case For killing my familiar But — 」[x]
The la smile
It was a beautiful and wicked smile
「Boy, you have to become my slave for the rest of your life」
「Don't worry, because I will give you a lot of love Moreover I will teach you … various things」
「…………DON'T JOKE AROUND!」
「No, I airl too, all the nuisance woh Since I only need you, little boy ——- Ara, AraAraAraAraaaa?」[xi]
The lamia pointed the cane hat, that she held in her hand, toward me
「You shouldn't hurl such extre intent towards your ht? 」
I felt a strong pressure froain
But, I didn't flinched this time
It was because er than my opponent's terror
That's right, at the tiry
Make me into a slave? —- I won't let her do that!
Since the las, including Angela ……… including Angela[xii]
「Ufu, you need to be severely punished, a little ――――《Cloud of deadly poison》」
When the la forth in s
「《Dance of the Wind spirits(Sylph Rondo》！」
I commanded the wind spirits to dance and revolved around in a circle
The outbreak of wind caused the cloud, that contained poison, to disperse
The wind spirit's strength eakened in the cave, where wind didn't blow that much; it was quite different from the outside
However, if it was only that ah inside the cave
「Ara、still not giving up。Then…………How about this?！ 《death—》」[xiii]
「《Stone Blast》！！！」
I used《Stone Blast》 by borrowing the power of earth spirits, and coh-speed incantation
The laic《Death ray》[xiv]
Death ray would deliver certain death upon hitting the target, but only if the target was a living creature; it would die for sure
The user et really would die
《Death Ray》was extreiant upon contact That hy it was called the spell of certain kill upon contact [ED: Repetative author is repetative]
However―― even if it was a powerful spell, it was harmless unless it was invoked
「How!? How can you use the spirits that quickly!?」
While being struck by countless pebbles that rose up froan to speak in a surprised tone for the first time
The la her face with both of her arms
《Stone blast》, even a gigantic beast would be done for after receiving a direct hit from it
