Chapter 133: The Blood Princess
You could think of them as a police-like organization maintaining order, but as Gayeon's husband, Kangseol, had said, they were lax.
Thanks to that, I had a good time.
After confirming my identity with my taming license, I was able to get an entry permit relatively easily.
Originally, I had been confined under the pretense of protection anyway. After that, I also had a conversation with Grellyn-noona.
"It's recommended that you receive protective measures."
"While spending time with you ladies here is nice, I have business inside."
"You'll be exposed to the real threat of the district… 'Otherworlders Hunting'."
Grellyn calmly warned me several times that it was dangerous inside. However, how could you catch a tiger without entering its den?
I also had a strong backing.
'The Sword Empress's ass.'
"About Latex Girl Noona… just tell me where the Imperial Hunters team went."
"That's a serious act of betrayal."
"Noona, is it okay if I die here?"
It was a method that some would call despicable, but I liked cozying up to pretty women, whether with words or my body.
Cecil and Gayeon were waiting for me outside.
"I just want to get to Raven Castle safely."
"That's not possible…"
"What do you think, Grell?"
Kirne asked, approaching from behind Grellyn.
"Everyone here will wail if Taeyang dies."
"Then it's better to stop him from leaving."
"It's tacky to block a man's path, Grell."
"Even if you say that these days, it's tacky, Kirne."
"Eh, really?"
Nora, who was working on documents, chuckled.
"You're both saying you want to hold him captive and make him your husband in a roundabout way, aren't you?"
"I said I'd be happy even as a concubine, Nora. I understand where that relaxed attitude comes from."
"Oh, come on! That's not relevant right now."
A short-haired, busty noona wanted me as her concubine.
Hard-to-ignore conversations were being exchanged.
It was decided… Kirne, Grellyn, Nora. I would definitely invite these three to the house later.
"She's the Blood Princess," Kirne said.
"Excuse me?"
"The person you call Latex Girl, she's the Blood Princess."
'Princess. Did that literally mean a princess?'
I pondered for a long time, wondering if there was a hidden meaning.
"Kirne!"
Grellyn tried to stop her, but Kirne spilled the beans.
"Do you understand what I mean? She's a princess."
"Why is a princess wearing full-body latex and running around the front lines?"
And following the orders of a nobleman…
"Is it strange?"
"It is strange."
"I don't know what your world is like, but in this world, the princess is a direct descendant of The Emperor, meaning she's known as the strongest blood mage."
"The strongest blood mage?"
I had heard there were cases of people becoming blood clan through other means.
If The Emperor's blood possessed a special power, would direct descendants be guaranteed even stronger abilities?
In short, it seemed Kirne brought it up to show me how strong Latex Girl was, rather than just saying she was of noble birth.
"She's a goddess who has dealt terrible deaths to the Invaders who have been invading this world since long before we were born."
Gayeon's husband, Kangseol, had also warned me not to mess with her. But I never imagined she had such a terrifying background. In terms of danger, she was far more dangerous than Ariella.
"Kirne, why are you saying such things? It's a level 3 secret…"
"What's the big deal? He won't listen if we just tell him not to go. Wouldn't it be easier for him to make a decision if we tell him everything?"
Grellyn looked at me.
"What Kirne said is true."
I couldn't give up and go back here.
"So, I plan to avoid Latex Girl."
"We know where Lady Seina went, but that's just a fleeting trace."
"Yeah. You know you can't go against her, right? What if she changes her route on a whim and you run into her?"
"Are you going to such a terrifying place just based on what we told you?"
"…."
So, her name was Seina.
The princess's name was…!
"I'll go even if it kills me."
The best thing I do is penetration.
"Tell me everything you know."
Get it all, or lose it all and die. Even a scoundrel who tries to freeload by cozying up to women he's been intimate with has a pure heart.
"Here's a map of the district."
Nora handed Grellyn a piece of paper.
Grellyn-noona hesitated for a moment, then seemed to make up her mind and wrote something on the map.
"I'll write down exactly what we've heard."
Kirne giggled.
"Grellyn said it was a serious act of betrayal, but this defense force is a neglected child. We can do whatever we want without any problems."
"That's what you think, Kirne."
"There's no paradise for succubus~!"
"Are there no incubus?"
"What's an incubus?"
There was no incubus in this world?
"It's like a male succubus."
Everyone laughed at my words.
"A male succubus~? Where's such a thing!"
"Even if there were, they'd be extinct like orcs!"
"Extinct like orcs?"
"It's a story from old history books. The first ten years after the gates opened were truly fierce. The orcs all decided to be martyred for The Emperor and the Empire and entered paradise."
"Why orcs of all…?"
"You really don't know anything, do you?"
"Be quiet, Kirne. It's hard to concentrate."
Grellyn-noona, whose head was pressed against Kirne's breasts, handed me the map and said,
"Her Majesty The Emperor is the mother of all succubus. Since the source of a succubus' power is essence, the orcs' sacrifice was valuable."
Did that mean all orcs decided to become The Emperor's power and went extinct?
…Are these the orcs I know?
If you only watch porn, you might think they're sex-crazed pigs, but thinking about Bior and all, the orcs of this world must have been an extremely rational race.
I took the map Grellyn-noona handed me and checked the Princess's movements.
'She went south.'
Since we were in the west, it seemed better to detour north.
"So, the Blood Princess is a veteran hero who even won that ten-year war?"
"Yes. She possesses strength we can't even imagine. There are fierce power struggles within the district, but everyone falls silent in front of the Princess."
"…."
I thought of the Slime Girl.
Even if a named individual from another district interferes and runs rampant, the goal is Otherworlders Hunting, so ultimately it becomes work for the Emperor.
In other words, the Princess was the true terminator.
She wasn't on the same level as the others, bickering and competing. When the Princess appeared, everyone had no choice but to bow their heads.
And…
'The Princess is protecting Ariella.'
'How could I solve this hopeless situation?
I knew Ariella would be difficult, but wasn't it a bit much to jump from Fiona to the Blood Princess in difficulty?
'This is hellfire difficulty. Truly.'
"If you've changed your mind, you're welcome to stay here,"
Grellyn said cautiously.
"I'll come back. Thank you, Noonas."
As I got up without hesitation, Grellyn's red eyes welled up with tears, making my heart weak.
"Come again!"
"If you have any troubles, come to Noona's arms."
"I can support you too, Taeyang!"
"I'll give birth to as many babies as you want! Do you really have to go?"
It seemed the pretty policewomen-noonas were desperate to marry me. Kirne and Nora clung to my sides, pressing their breasts against me.
'I wished it were this easy inside.'
"Hey, won't you marry Noona? If you just give me healthy baby seeds, Noona will do anything for you."
"If you're okay with it, take me as your concubine…"
"I'll call you later."
Grellyn-noona seemed dejected and lowered her head.
"Grellyn-noona too."
"Me, too?"
"Don't meet any other men besides me."
"Kya~!"
'…Did I do something unnecessary?'
Everyone was conscious of me as the opposite sex and was throwing their affections at me with all their might.
I went with the flow of this strange atmosphere and blurted it out, but it was a bit embarrassing. However, enduring that allowed me to see Grellyn's happy expression.
"Okay! I won't."
Coming outside, instead of the warmth of the noonas' embrace, a chilly wind enveloped my body.
"Cecil! Cecil, where are you?"
"Did you find me? Oppa!"
"Eek!"
"Kyaang!"
I hugged Cecil tightly to recharge with warmth.
Cecil perked up her cat ears and melted with an ecstatic expression.
"Heu… Heuuung. Oppa…"
"You're warm and soft, it's nice, Cecil."
"I like Oppa's embrace the most too…"
Gayeon's lips curled up slightly as she watched us.
"How did it go? Taeyang."
"Please take a look at this."
I showed the two of them the map I had received from the defense force.
"A map of the inside of the district. It's detailed."
"I also found out the Princess's movements."
"Princess?"
"There's a princess in the district?"
Cecil's amber eyes sparkled, as if she thought it was like a fairy tale.
'I wished it were, but it wasn't.'
"She's the woman Master's husband, Kangseol, strongly insisted we shouldn't confront."
"Ah, that person."
Cecil's expression darkened.
We had met her once at the Magnetar Center. If Verdia hadn't been completely tamed at that time, if I had needlessly shown hostility and fought… We would be dead by now.
"From now on, I'll call her the Princess. The Princess is someone we must avoid to achieve Master's and my goals."
"Okay!"
"Understood."
'Was it because her husband had warned her?'
Gayeon nodded obediently.
"My goal is to reach Raven Castle. Master's goal is to reach the hideout where Mr. Kangseol is."
"I intend to protect you to the hideout and then act with my husband."
"Then let's first move to the hideout. Master's husband seems to know a lot about this district."
Cecil focused on the map.
"Then we have to go to the slums!"
"Cecil, you're smart."
She remembered well what Mr. Kangseol had said. He mentioned the hideout was in a slum tavern.
"The slums are here."
Fortunately, the slums were located away from the Princess's movements, near the west where we were. If we searched well for an hour, we should reach our destination soon.
"This much should be safe."
"You never know."
Gayeon looked out at the Devil District from afar.
"There's a bad wind blowing, so don't let your guard down."
We went deeper into the district.
'Wouldn't it have been fine to sneak past in the dead of night like this, regardless of permits?'
Just as I thought that…
The policewomen-noonas we had seen in the west were flying in the air and found us with magic detection.
Something was falling!
"Hidden weapons! Be careful!"
"Yah!"
Cecil jumped up and caught it in her hand.
Gayeon looked very surprised.
"You fool! If you carelessly catch something thrown by the enemy with your hand…!"
"It's chocolate!"
"…What?"
Looking up, the noonas were making heart signs with their arms.
…
…
We continued forward, munching on the chocolate.
"It seems like it'll be impossible to get along with those lewd imps," Gayeon grumbled.
"Hidden weapons! Be careful!"
"Hidden weapons! Be carefu~l!"
When I teased her along with Cecil, Gayeon fumed.
"After I worried for you! I don't care anymore. If something flies at you, dodge it yourself."
"Master, have some too."
"What is this… Is it okay to eat it without suspicion?"
"It's sweet and delicious!"
"Haah, you guys have no sense of tension."
Saying that, Gayeon popped a piece of processed chocolate into her mouth.
"Hmm…."
"Delicious, right?"
"Mmm…!"
"You should take back what you said about imps, right?"
"Imps are imps. I'll punish them for pushing their monstrous breasts against my husband."
"Haha."
"Shh."
We were so busy chatting and moving that we didn't notice the thugs with weapons surrounding us.
"Leave everything you have and only the women stay."
"I'll give you 10 seconds. 10…."
Something flashed. Before the thugs could count the next number, everything was already over.
An intense smell of death.
'How many thugs were there? Seven, eight?'
Counting was meaningless.
They all became headless corpses within a second or two.
"…."
"…."
Cecil and I stood there blankly, as if time had been stolen.
Around us, the corpses—still unaware of their deaths—began to emit blood and heat, pushing away the chilly night air and creating an eerie curtain.
I saw Gayeon.
Master, who had just been enjoying the chocolate and expressing small joys, was now holding a beautiful, blood-free sword and calmly looking down at the fleeting lives before her.
"Let's go."
…Did I really dress someone like that in lingerie and ogle her underboobs?
The thought crossed my mind that if something had gone wrong, I might have been the one dead.
"Come to think of it, there's something I haven't heard an answer to yet."
Gayeon stopped abruptly.
"Who is the woman you're looking for?"
"Ariella Raven. The wife of the deceased Swordmaster, a member of the four great families that rule the Devil District, a monster hunter favored by the Emperor. And the woman with the best boobs in the world."
I felt proud after saying it. Even my self-introduction wouldn't have come out this smoothly.
"It seems like there's only one thing you care about?"
"Oppa loves boobs!"
"No, the fact that she's someone's wife is also important."
Because I can steal her.
Unfortunately, the world doesn't allow beautiful maidens to live alone without a partner. That's the history of mankind. Beauties who didn't become someone's woman met untimely ends.
Then, do beauties who have made vows of love become unattainable by anyone?
No! I will devour them all. According to my destiny. Because women who have realized the happiness of being a female in Geum Taeyang's embrace won't go anywhere else.
I'm busy enough trying to survive; I don't have time to worry about the bastards who died trying to act tough.
I held Cecil's hand and entered the slums with Master.
