Monster Musume Harem wo Tsukurou!

Chapter 96: Outbreak

“Uuh...the magic that I use for my life is quite developed, but the things for battle hare not changed much. Why is the difference so big? "

“There are also types of demons that can breathe fire or blow the wind in a congenital way, so magic for battle is not much emphasized. It helps life a lot."

“Depending on the type, it isn't easy to use sorcery at all. We too can’t even use that much."

“It is a good story to approach and beat him."

“So that’s how it is... ah, but Yukurishishu is a magician, is not it? "

“That's right. Well, I can easily do both close-range and magical warfare."

The royal family and I came to the magical city called Manavary. After buying additional paper, we dropped by a shop selling magic books. With such a thing written, I wonder what kind of effect will this magic produce. Because it isn't so thick, the price isn't very high. As expected, things for battle are expensive. The paper was cheaper than the one sold in the kingdom.

“Another good magic book? I am a bit hungry..."

“It is about time for lunch. Do we have some snacks somewhere? "

“Yes.”

With two meals a day, most people eat something during the day. I'm talking about snacks, but it's quite a lot.... This is no different from three meals a day.

“Do you also want to eat something, Tsuchio?"

“No, I am not hungry yet, so it's okay."

I ate from morning...till the night, so I have to get hungry first.

“...By the way, Manavary has a bell."

“Bell?”

“Ah, that one. It rings every few hours. The capital is too far away, so the sound doesn't reach, right?"

“That's right. There are magical tools that diffuse sound, but mass production isn't done yet."

As we talked about it, the sound of the bell rang in the town. It was a beautiful sound that came from the bell installed in the research tower. Magical power is included to the sound and maybe it's some sort of magical tool. It sounds like a healing sound.

“...?”

“What is it, Ruu.”

Ruu pauses with her hand on her ear.

“No, something is wrong..."

“Ruu? What is strange!?”

Suddenly, Yukurishisu kneeled to the ground. No, it is not only Yukurishisu. Tyres, Toururi and all my familiars are the same. Most of the people around me are falling on the ground. Well, what, what's going on! Why am I immune!?

“Are you alright? Hey everybody, are you okay?”

“Well, I′m fine. But it is such a strong magic..."

“What the hell is this...the inside of my head is disturbed.”

“Uuu..."

Yukurishisu seems to have no problem. The sound of the bell earlier, magic power was included. Is that the cause?

“Father! Big Sister...!” Lime

“Ruu is weak against that magic...Lime, are you okay?" Tsuchio

“I can't say that I'm fine. I heard someone's voice in my head right now..."

“What is this disgusting voice. It's almost like a bottomless swamp, it is going to be drawn into my mind..." Rin

“Defense against magic, I will build a barrier on the main computer." Nichrome

Shadow-san seems to suffer a little bit, but she doesn't seem to suffer as much as the others. Ruu is suffering more, but her state isn't extraordinary. Opening and closing her mouth like a fish and opening her eyes wide.

“Ruu, you okay?!? Is your consciousness clear? Are you feeling bad?” Tsuchio

“Ua...Tsuchio...?" Ruu

“Ah yes, it's me Tsuchio. Keep your eyes on me.” Tsuchio

Shit, what is going on with Ruu? Nichrome defends herself with her main computer, especially that there is no trauma... It is probably spiritual magic.

“Tsu, Tsuchio..." Ruu

“What? What's wrong?" Tsuchio

“...Ru, Run away.” Ruu

“Eh?” Tsuchio

“Uaaaaaaa!!!???” Ruu

I hold Ruu′s head who raises a big cry. Her magical power is raging and fire blows from her body and heats up the air.

“Hey, what the heck is with you, Ruu!? What do you mean by run away!" Tsuchio

I shake her shoulders, but Ruu doesn't react. She isn't screaming anymore and is very weak. Shit, what is really going on here!

“Father! It is dangerous to approach her now! Elder sister's magical power is rampaging..." Lime

“Then I should cure her! It is easy for me to cure the flow of magical power." Tsuchio

When I said that, I will restore Ruu's calm magical power. Nice to meet you, I had no choice but to correct. But I'm still worried. Anyway, I have to take a rest somewhere. I think so and hold her hand. She suddenly threw me away, while I was trying to ask what was wrong.

“What!?”

“Tsuchio!?”

“Ruu-san, whats your intention!?”

“...Elder sister?”

I′m thrown into a building like a restaurant and stop finally, hitting the walls while blowing off desks and chairs. It seems that Lime alone noticed something while Rin and Nichrome couldn't react in time. As I got help from Shadow-san, everyone was standing around Ruu as I went back. The crucial Ruu stood standing barely without any expression at all. I see Ruu's face like that of a Noh mask for the first time.

“Father, are you okay? Elder sister′s state..." Lime

“I can see it. Ruu, you know me! Tsuchio, I′m Tsuchio!"

“...”

Ruu doesn't respond at all. She doesn't look around and my words haven’t reached her. While doing so, the people lying around wake up. However, everyone is strange. They don’t utter a single word and their faces are expressionless like Ruu.... No, is Ruu expressionless like them? People who stood up bore me for a while, but suddenly turned towards us. At the same time, Ruu spreads her wings. And the people who turned towards us were attacking all at once.

“Why are they attacking!"

“I don't know! But I don't want to hurt them."

“Oh, it's already hard to do! Hey, wait, Ruu! Where are you going?”

Ruu flies with her fluttering wings. I'm gonna reach for you to fight a goblin-like guy who hit me and grab Ruu's foot. But her hands have emptied the sky and Ruu flew away to the center of the town.

“...Ruu, why...” Tsuchio

“Master, we need to clarify Ruu′s behavior afterwards. Now, we have to get out of this situation." Nichrome

“Gather together before they reach us! Hey, Tsuchio, come on!” Yukurishisu

Yukurishisu was inspired and we ran away from the spot. Damn...what is going on in this town....

“Tsuchio, we're done talking here."

“Is that so...Tyres-san, what is it?”

“I'm still packing the operation over there. Well, I'm hiding my identity."

We are now hiding in buildings like the guild branch of the kingdom at the edge of the town. It seems that people who are maintaining normal awareness gather here and discuss measures to break through the current situation.

“So, did you know what kind of magic was set up?"

“Well, it was magic of mental manipulation and hypnotism. It seems that the magical power was put on the sound of the bell and it spread the effect through the town. Those who aren't manipulated are those who are resistant to magic. Mercenaries, magicians, and higher races. Because Tsuchio is a human, you are immune to the magic."

“So what is the strategy?"

“Of course, it is a strategy to release this magic. Even if you are spreading the effect of this extensive magic with the bell, it should have been prepared somehow. I also confirmed it while I was there, but there was nothing like that especially..."

“A magical team?”

“I feel that way. If you look at it, you know, at a glance, the absolute."

“Is there nothing else on how to defeat the magician who cast this unknown magic?"

“That's what it is.... From that, what is Tsuchio writing since a little while ago? Are you listening properly?"

“I'm listening, what shall I reply? I am replenishing my talismans, because I will make a battle after this? New talismans made from the newly bought paper."

“...Are you following me?"

“Of course. Ruu was taken away? Are you going to say that I shall wait silently?"

“I can understand how Tsuchio′s feels. However, the opponent is a magician who can use such great magic against a large number of ordinary people. Clearly, with Tsuchio′s weapons, it is impossible."

...Don't say a lot clearly what you care a lot. Well, it is true or not.

“I intend to follow Tsuchio, but we can't rush to the research tower. You're going to ask for inward death payment."

“...Is that so."

“Even so, please don't try to do it sooner or later. Lime, please keep hold of Tsuchio firmly."

“Of course, I cannot let father jump to his death."

Was she relieved to hear that, because Yukurishisu returned to the room where she is discussing the strategy....Haa, be sure not to endure being stuck with the facts.

“Father...are you okay? I was told that, but if father wants me..."

“No, let's do as Yukurishisu says. I'm going to recapture Ruu while she gets confused by the battle."

“But Ruu is manipulated by magic, right? Fighting with a serious Ruu, can we win?"

“... If all of us fight Ruu, the winning percentage is about 30%. The problem is that there are other enemies."

“Oh, it's difficult to withhold avoidance. If there are other enemies, Lime will be their opponent and endure it. I crush the enemy with haste and head for support."

“I understand. Even if I change to this life, let's suppress sister."

“No, never die. Ruu comes back and it doesn't make any sense. Sure."

“Of course."

“Well, there is no point in thinking about bad things. Let's think about the better side...the possibility of winning is low, though."

“What to do? I will die if she releases her breath."

“I see. Even if it costs all members, it is 30%."

“When I was fighting with her, I was getting in trouble. It is miserable..."

“You can compete with a dragon at an equal rate. If there is a winner...do you have to defeat her with haste?"

“It will be so. It's the only thing that crushes her down to the encounter with full power."

“Are you alright with it? If I kill her by mistake, you will have neither a wife nor a child."

“I have no time to worry about the other party, even if the other party is Ruu..."

Ruu's serious?...She didn't use her breath after all in the fortress battle, and it is impossible to measure it honestly. Well, in any case, I can only disable her before she can release her breath.

“Then, will you write down the spell quickly? Because I want to concentrate for a while."

“Okay, is your burnt hand okay?"

“Ah, Shadow-san cured it. I thought about Ruu for a moment, but I didn't notice it at all. Tomorrow is early, so please sleep properly."

“Tsuchio too...I'm worried about Ruu as much as everyone is."

“...Ou”

The connection with Ruu hasn't been cut off yet...I feel like its disturbed by something. If I overwrite the taming once more, I wonder if I can solve the magic.... Well, let's just do it.

“Ah, father. This.” Lime

“Hmm?...Is this?” Tsuchio

Leaving, Lime handed Ruu's choker. It seems that it was burned down by the fire blown out when Ruu′s magical power went wild. The cross section is also slightly deformed.

“Please give it back to sister. It was very important for her." Lime

“Thanks Lime. I did not notice it and I was about to lose it." Tsuchio

“Well then. Father, sister is also important to me...I absolutely won't let the person who did this to elder sister escape.” Lime

“I have the same feeling. But first of all, we need to recapture Ruu. Do you understand?" Tsuchio

“I know. Well then, have a break.” Lime

Well, I have to write talismans quickly and prepare for tomorrow. Before that, I have to listen to the details of the strategy.

“Shadow-san, what happened? Eh, two important stories? Is it related to the operation of tomorrow?...I got it, then shall we talk in another room?" Tsuchio

What is the important story? There was never before a time where Shadow-san spoke that much. I wonder what it is all about, what on earth is that....
