Chapter 135: Recommended Boy
Complaints from the fiend eradication faction for taking a cooperative stance with the Fiend's country. The flood of petitions from the people regarding the revival of the Daimaou. Merchants, seeing this as a business opportunity, have begun to raise the prices of some goods.
The workload is increasing exponentially.
“Mirage-sama, the anti-fiend faction is seeking an audience with you.”
"They're just being sarcastic again, aren't they? Tell them that if they drag their feet any longer in the face of this crisis, they will be thrown in jail."
“Mirage-sama, the anti-war faction insists that we should avoid a battle with the Daimaou and move to a floating island.”
"If it's just some people, sure, but the whole country? Tell them that they are talking in their sleep."
“Mirage-sama, there seems to be a growing consensus within the military that we should conscript troops now in preparation for ten years from now.”
“We will start to increase the number of troops, of course. But beating the asses of those who are unwilling to do so will be useless in front of the Daimaou. Instead, increase the number of evacuation drills. Also, ask him to build more evacuation centers in the guild towns for the exclusive use of our people. I'm sure they will make some demands, but I'll leave the negotiations to Auerne."
"Mirage-sama, Winnelia-sama is not here."
I don't know! I'm not a babysitter!!
And I almost yelled at them.
"...Mirage-sama?"
"Bath."
"Ha?"
"I'm going to take a bath."
"Eh, ah, yes. Go ahead."
Ignoring the secretary's look, I leave the room. I hear a bustle in the distance. I wonder what kind of festivities are going on that reach this first-class compartment. Either way, this water palace, built with a mixture of water and magic stone, seems to have completely forgotten its usual quiet mood.
"Ah, annoying, annoying, annoying. It's really annoying."
I hurried past the blue-colored corridors and arrived at the large bath, the only place where I can relax these days. Before entering, I put up a sign for private use. Now no one will come in except Winnelia.
"This is the only time I can heal."
I threw away the clothes I had taken off, including my underwear, and jumped into the huge bathtub.
From gas to liquid. This exhilarating feeling surged up from the depths of my chest as the substance surrounding my body changed. I swam around anyway.
“Ahaha! Mou, really, ahaha!"
Splash*, splash*! I went back and forth from one end of the large bathtub to the other, blowing off the hot water, like a bullet.
Splash*, splash*! Splash*, splash*!
“…………Wouldn’t it be nice if it was bigger?”
Even with the vastness of the water palace, it was still too small for me. It reminds me of the time when I drifted with Glenn and others due to Mother's prank. At that time, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see the end of the road, and I really thought I was going to die without getting anywhere. But then I realized that my world has become as small as this bathtub.
"...No. My boring desk work is making my thoughts annoying."
I stop swimming and sit down, resting my back against the edge of the bathtub. I pulled a towel out of the space and covered my eyes. In the simple darkness, I feel myself floating in the warm water.
"Ah~. Jeez, why am I so busy? This is also all that stupid mother's fault. Really...... it's stupid."
I don't know if it's the Daimaou or something, but if only she had ignored what that person said and put us first, I'm sure she'll still beーー
"Really...... it's stupid."
I can only smile at my own inability to let go of Motherーー
"No, I'm going through this withoutーー"
“Fugyaaaaaaaa!?”
Activate the magic! I use hot water to create an explosion. It must have generated enough energy to blow the large bath to pieces, but it was dispersed cleanly and not a single scratch was made on the bathtub.
An incredible skill that even I would not have been able to pull off easily. Teacher class, or rather, is it teacher? No, more importantly, I didn't think that voice just now wasーー
"Mo... ther?"
"Yes, yes. What is it?"
"Wha!?"
My skin tingled. The voice from behind me brings an imaginary vision. It is the image of a maniacal joy that continues to dance alone on top of tens of thousands and hundreds of millions of piled-up wreckage. The feeling of being touched for the first time in three hundred years instantly blows away any sentimentality I may have had.
"Water Prison, Water Sword, Water Bomb."
I used magic in the bathtub. The hot water, inflated like an air-filled soap bubble, went to the idiot master, then the water sword skewers the prison from all directions, and immediately afterward the sword and prison explode. A combo that once injured the perverted Celicia. But this is not enoughーー
"It's a good technique. Please show me more of your growth. Kasadora, Honea."
"Yes, yes."
"It's been a while, Mirage-chan."
Jet-black hair that is even more beautiful than the night sky, and rainbow-colored eyes that seem to have been created by trapping all the beauty in this world. For a moment, the sight of the idiot master, whom I had not seen in a long time, made me feel a variety of emotions, but I could not let myself get caught up in them. These people would kill me if I showed them any mercy. That is the kind of people these people are.
I dodged teacher Kasadora's kicks with fine movements, and avoided teacher Honea's fist with a sufficient distance.
"Convergence - End of Life."
"Tchh."
My body is sucked into teacher Honea's fist with tremendous force. Of course, even if my body is sucked into the fist, the fist that has been fully extended is not a threat. The threat isーー
"Now, what are you going to do?"
The other fist swung at me. I stopped resisting the pulling force and jumped into the arms of teacher Honea myself, and then I went up.
"Oh, that's a good move."
I tried to land my knee on the smiling teacher Honea on the head, but before I could do thatーー
"Here."
A follow-up kick from teacher Kasadora. Teacher Kasadora, who boasts the greatest strength among the teachers who are all monsters, destroyed the water shield in my hand the moment it touched her.
"Kuh!?"
The bones in both my arms screamed. And like stones bouncing on the surface of the water, my body bounces on the hot water at a tremendous speedーー A chain appeared out of nowhere and caught me like a spider web.
"...Teacher Urnast."
A demon in a black dress, standing alone, gazed at me as if she was a bystander. When I was distracted by itーー
"Fufufu. Where are you looking?"
The rainbow-colored eyes sneer in front of me. The chains prevented me from taking action.
No, I am defeated.
For the first time in decades, I feel a sense of danger. The idiot master slowly turned to me andーー
"Congratulations on your birth~"
Pop*, I heard a cracker.
"……Eh?"
""Congratulations!""
Three terribly unmotivated voices followed, and again the cracker made a sound. Pop*, pop*, pop*.
"No, eh?"
"Are you a mother too? Listen, Mirage. Giving birth is more difficult than you think. Are you ready for that?"
"...No, my child is already over 100 years old."
"That's how all children think of themselves as adults. Without knowing that, can you be a good mother? Or rather, do you still produce breast milk with these small breasts?"
The idiot master rubbed my chest with a strangely disgusting hand. This appearance, which makes me open my crotch wide, must be harassment from teacher Urnast. The chain made a sound again.
"No, can you please don't touch me?"
“What? If you're going to fuck, you're going to have to include me in the mix."
The vampire's purple eyes, which had looked unenthusiastic even during the battle, instantly turned red.
"No, I don't. Wait, why are you naked?"
“You’re also naked. You're making a bad joke by spreading your legs so wide and not doing it."
"I was taking a bath. Don't look at me."
This perverted teacher is one of the more reasonable of the teachers, but my head hurts when I talk to her. The idiot master clapped her hands.
"Good, a bath. I'll join in."
The white robe fades away like an illusion, exposing the incredible beauty.
"Would you guys like to join?"
"Hmm~. Well, that would be nice."
Saying that, teacher Kasadora fell backward.
Splash*! And the hot water splashes grandly.
"Ah. I want to have sex."
I was wondering if teacher Kasadora, who was floating in the bathtub on her back, would start to do something strange.
"Alright. I'm going to enter too."
"Then me too."
Teacher Honea soaks in the bathtub with her clothes on. When teacher Urnast snapped her fingers, her black dress turned into a jet-black flame and disappeared, and soon everything but her black mask was burned away.
A breast that is more abundant than anyone else in this place. Their tips are the opposite of a virgin, and the bushes on the lower abdomen are thick, giving off a strong feeling that it was a virgin. If teacher Kasadora is the beauty of carnivorous beasts that actively prey on their opponents, this one is the beauty of devilishness that uses sensuality as a weapon.
The devil stands defenseless on the edge of the bath, like an innocent maiden who does not know the value of her naked body. Andーー
"Tou~!"
Saying this, she jumped in vigorously.
Boom*! A splash of hot water. Teacher Urnast just showed us a splendid dive without any meaning, andーー
“Nugyaaaaa!?”
It threw off teacher Kasadora, who was floating in the bathtub.
"Cough*, cough*. What are you doing!?"
“Excuse me. I thought it would feel good to dive."
They stopped floating and swimming, respectively, and stood in the bathtub. The gesture of fixing their hair sticking to their skin is charming...... and teacher Kasadora's eyes, which stared at teacher Urnast's breasts, are somewhat suspicious. Her tongue crawled over her red lips and her fangs slightly peeked out.
"It sure feels good How about it? Wanna play?"
The vampire approaches the devil with provocative words. Their breasts were perfectly aligned, as the tips of their breasts touched.
"What play?"
"A competition. The loser does whatever the winner says. How's that?"
“Oh. That's a good idea. If I win, I would love for you two to come with me for training."
"Then, if I win, I will torture you to your heart's content."
"Okay. Then let's get started. Of course, if I win, you will be my sex slaves."
With that said, the three of them started swimming at once without deciding where the goal would be. The three split the hot water in half at a tremendous speed, and even though they cut the edge of the bathtub like a drill, they still did not stop, and they went out through the wall.
"...They're too free."
"W-what is that? In the sky naked? Naked... demons!? A-an attack! The demons are attackiiing!!"
I can hear something, but... yeah. Let's pretend I didn't hear that.
The next moment, as if to fulfill my wish, the wall instantly returned back.
“After all, what are you guys here for? If you touch my people, I won't forgive you, you know?"
"Don't make such a scary face. Those three seem to like you in their own way, so they won't do anything cruel.... maybe."
"No, don't say maybe."
"Jeez, you've been making scary faces since a while ago. You'll have to forgive some mischievousness of the poor mother who was betrayed by her children and sealed away for three hundred years. Come on, smile, smile. Let us rejoice in our long-awaited reunion."
The idiot master brings her face so close that I can feel her breath. The chains that bound me rattled.
"...What are you going to do with me?"
"What an exaggeration. You can just say, Mother, I'm sorry. You're smart in the first place. You know you did something wrong, right?"
"That'sーー"
Suddenly, many memories of Mother passed through my mind. The time she almost killed us by pretending to be a general of the enemy. Or the time she had sold Floria and Satanalia to slavers in cooperation with Shudoji. Or the time she forced us to get drunk on Celicia's birthday and give us to that pervert.
"...I'm sorry. Actually, I don't feel too bad about it."
"Is that so."
When my mother shook her shoulders, all the chains that bound me crumbled and disappeared.
"Well, well, you don't have to be so cautious. Fights are inevitable between parents and children. Let's ignore trivial matters and talk about the future."
"...And I'm still going to punish you. You're not going to tell me that, right?"
"Do you want me to?"
"That'sーー"
Honestly, depending on the flow, I was prepared for death or even worse. To think that it would be forgiven so easily... it's not strange for this capricious mother, but it's because she's capricious that I can't easily believe it.
"I don't like it. Don't be so alarmed. To tell you the truth, I was planning to play with you when I first came out of the seal, but I found something more interesting to play with. Fufu. I would love to have you, my cute child, join my camp."
I was called a cute child.
I was called a cute child.
I was called a cute child.
I was called a cute... ha!?
"H-hmph. Shut up. Are you really that concerned about this impersonator?"
"Fufu. If so, is there a problem?"
We all knew that idiot master had been acting on someone's instructions ......or rather requests for a long time. And there is no doubt that it is that guy.
The one whom Mother cares about more than anyone else. The man who takes our mother away from us and keeps her to himself. A blackness starts to form in my chest, but my rational mind stops it. If you look at it as a whole, mother coming to me was not a bad thing at all.
I looked over and saw rainbow-colored eyes peering happily at me, as I wavered between jealousy and rationality.
"W-what?"
“You, who used to be so impulsive, had changed.”
"……Is that bad?"
"No. It doesn't matter. Change as you like. Do what you want to do. My little Mirage. As long as you continue to entertain me, I will approve of you."
Her words made my heart tremble.
A sweet, terrifying person made of deadly poison. There was a time when I seriously thought that I would slaughter all of humanity in order to be accepted by this person. No, that's stillーー
"Look, don't just stand there, let's enjoy a bath together."
Mother soaked herself shoulder-deep in the bathtub. I gently sat down next to her.
I'm taking a bath with mother.
I'm taking a bath with mother.
I'm taking a bath with mother.
I'm taking a bath withーー.
“Recently, monsters have become stronger. One, no, now it is three. Three special beings was causing this."
"...What, that annoying phenomenon is caused by idiot master? Then stop it quickly."
With the Fire Kingdom and the resurgence of the Daimaou, monsters that have continued to grow in number and strength in recent years are a major challenge for humanity as a whole.
"Yep. It's true that it's because of it, but we're not doing this just for fun, you know? This is serious business for us. So telling me won't stop this phenomenon."
Us... huh.
“Does that mean… it is necessary as a [god]?”
Who is mother? This a natural question that anyone would have, unless they are wild children driven by instinct like Floria or pleasure-seeker like Satanalia. It's the results of my steady research with Celicia and the others over the past 300 years.
Mother's reactionーー
"Those three are usually sleeping deep in the dark continent in a state somewhere between physical material and ether, observing every nook and cranny of this planet. If several conditions are met, they will manifest with enough power to destroy the civilization. You know that, right?"
No answer to my question. Is she unwilling or unable to answer? No, it's more than that now.
"Are you saying they are stronger than us?"
“I can't simply say that. It is only powerful enough to destroy the civilization. We basically leave it up to them to decide what kind of form they will take, but in most eras, they have surpassed all beings. However, I am not sure what will happen in this era. Fufu. It's interesting."
"That's... troublesome."
Instead of trying to affirm it, she didn't seem to want to deny it. No, Mother's story is tantamount to affirming our hypothesis in a roundabout way. But I don't have the time in my heart to feel any kind of emotion about it in the face of the threat that looms ahead of us.
"Winnelia and Frega."
"...Why would you mention those two?"
"No, they're your children, right? They are like grandchildren to me, so to speak. I want to take good care of them."
"Shut up, leave them alone. That's the best present for them."
I am proud to be Mother's child. But at the same time, this mother is terribly dangerous. I never knew when she would get tired of me and kill me. If possible, I didn't want them to get involved.
"Don't say such sad things. Both of your children are over 100 years old, right? Have they found a good partner?"
"You are not going to ask me to give them to Aquim Bonvoul, right?"
A considerable number of investigators are currently infiltrating the Kingdom of Light. It was surprisingly easy to find out what kind of game Mother was playing right now.
“I heard that Aquim Bonvoul likes married women. Annoying as it may be, I can keep him company, okay?"
Even though I knew I didn't have to, I couldn't help but apologize to Glenn in my mind.
Mother shrugged.
"Jeez, you're as impatient as ever. Aquim-kun is certainly a very interesting child, but I have enough of potential wives. It would be wrong to let my precious grandchildren become mere concubines. Let's take this opportunity to investigate the three I mentioned earlier and have your child date the boy I recommended, a date."
"You're trying to play matchmaker? What are you trying to do? ......This boy is a decent guy, right?"
“Yes, yes. He's a very nice boy. I'm sure he will take good care of your children."
I used to find this surprising, but Mother doesn't lie about these things very often. But there are times when she doesn't tell the truth. With the current exchange, there may be something wrong with him other than his personality. Or maybe she simply wants to play with my children and the boy. Whatever the case, I'd like to get information on those three beings.
"...Alright. So? Who's the lucky boy who gets to date my children?"
"Fufu. His name isーー"
