The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

I am now on my way from my home town of Astania to Ridomdora, ruled by Corul, with my nearby maid Kinuree and a few confessions.

Its purpose is for a meeting with Cliff, the Demon King of the High Elves.

Before the talks starting tomorrow evening, we were to make a short stop along the way.

They say a new hot spring has sprung up in the mountain range near Ridomdora, so they're corrubing their promise to stop by before the talks.

Recently, Kinuree suggested to me that I was tired.

How many years would a hot spring or something like that be?

... this is my chance.

I think I'll develop enough acumen before the talks.

(... I really wanted to bring you Marrell too)

Unfortunately, she spares no time in her sleep studying how to lift the curse in the castle's lab.

I'm so sorry.

I'm a king, and I have absolutely no problem using my subordination for private purposes, but the purpose...

Well, I get a headache, so let's not think deeply.

"... you see it"

"Yes."

Fly next door, hear Kinulet, look down.

The time is now, at dusk.

If you look up, red clouds like fire.

If you look down, the vast mountain range shows up full of vision.

If you lower your altitude, you can see a little ploughed ground in the depressed mountain forest, from which you can see the smoke rising.

If you trace the origin of the smoke, you'll see a wooden building with a flair.

It doesn't really matter to me to move through the sky, but the road paved for the building continues towards the foot.

I guess it will eventually lead to Lidomdora with Corlu.

Is this where Corlu said it was, a newly sprung hot spring?

In front of the building, several figures can be seen lined up.

At its center is a twin-tailed girl with red and purple hair.

"Here it is!" All the while, he waves vigorously in momentum.

As soon as I get off the ground, the girl rushes over and greets me with a full grin.

V-shaped black clothes without changing underwear and skin area.

Sacubas in inflammatory clothes hiding only important parts.

It's Corlu......

"We've been waiting for you! Dear Beria!"

A small black wing grown from his back is shaking from the joy of reunion or patterned.

Her race is the Sacubas Queen.

Corlu is a nostalgic, innocent character, hard to imagine from his usual appearance... but he's one of the demon kings under his umbrella, a daughter who admires me.

"Eh heh, nice to see you!

"... hehe, me too"

Me and her dating would be a long time ago, but it started with Corl saving where he was about to be attacked by a man who fitted into his charm.

Enchantment is cited as the intrinsic ability of Sacubas.

Its effectiveness is immense for heterosexuals, especially with its ability to be effective.

Now is the time to call him the Demon King, Corlu, but he was immature at the time we met.

Among the sacubas she was particularly powerful in that and had not been able to control her charm.

I couldn't turn my abilities on and off well, and I had my own unique abilities.

Of course that's a story from the past. Corlu can freely control his powers now, and is at a glance not only in terms of combat power, but also in terms of the dangers of his abilities.

The race is different, but vampires can also use the magic of the fascination system once and for all.

After I helped her, she used her power to give me advice and so on, and she used to take care of me and miss me.

Clerical ability is also competent, I am always helped by her being under the umbrella.

"Corlu, you seem to be no different."

"... Yes! I'm fine!

Her bright voice echoes in the sky.

Corlu is an honest, bright, and reluctant daughter.

To be clear about what she thought, she might seem glamorous from around.

But I feel comfortable with that kind of relationship.

Of course, I know Marelle and Kinulet care about me, too.

There is no superiority or inferiority there.

But they call me Immortal Four (the Four Without Death), and I can really distance myself.

I feel lonely, though I have no choice in my position.

"Heal your daily fatigue today. I'll massage you later. I'm good at it. Alcohol is also available."

"It's the end of it."

"... Dear Beria, I will head over to Lidomdora first. I'll get you ready for tomorrow's meeting, so take your time."

"Thank you, please."

"Kinulet, let's go in together next!

"Yes, I look forward to it"

Speak the words of labor to the walking away quinules and decide to head for an open-air bath.

Hot springs, I'm looking forward to it.

It just makes my mind jump a little.

"… well, please show me quickly"

"Yes, definitely!

Corlu walks out of my hand.

Enter a simple strip room made by connecting wooden boards together.

As soon as he gets inside, Corul begins to take off his clothes lavishly.

The flesh is good, the area where it leaves is out, and the white skin is exposed to the outside air.

The opposite body of a young face. It feels like a mismatch...

Sacubas is a species that has made it a business to seduce men and deprive them of their vigor, and evolved into a suitable form for it.

I guess that's good for a man.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Well, I'll take my clothes off too...

"Master Beria, what's wrong?

"Nothing, will you go first?

Corl surprises me for not taking my clothes off.

Somehow...... because of this curse I am hesitant to take it off next to Corlu.

It's a minor change (so far)... and I don't think you'll notice it from what I've seen.

"No, I'm waiting! Let's go together."

"I'll take it off right away. Go ahead."

"Even more so in a minute, I'll be waiting!

"Uh."

"I'll be waiting! Forever! Forever!"

I guess it's also her virtue not to hesitate.

This kind of place gets a little moist.

"Also, could it be... me, was it inconvenient?

"Yes, no, that's not true."

I'm glad you invited me.

As for feelings...... really.

There are just circumstances here as well.

Is it weirder to be aware of it now?

Let's go grand.

(It's okay, it's okay, I don't know...... should be)

Fortunately, the hot tub is less transparent and cloudy.

Come in, if you soak it, you won't know.

Little by little, slowly grab onto hot water to tame your body.

The feeling makes me exhale zero without thinking "Phew".

"Nice water."

"That's right, oh my daily fatigue is coming out"

The night view from the mountains is beautiful.

The provided pine lights up the mountain trees.

"Why does it feel so good when I just grab it in hot water... wonder"

"Ah, for once, it also works... stiffness, back pain, hernia, skin beauty"

"Often...... does that really work?

"All you have to do is temporarily improve your magic healing speed, delay the curse progression..."

"... of, curse delay..."?

"Yes, I don't know the details, but it has no effect on removing magical impurities that have entered the body."

"Phew, phew... Ku, that's crap, that's too crap"

"Really?

"Oh, yeah."

So, but there are springs in the world that have similar effects to potions.

I don't know what the principle is, but it does exist.

Thinking about it, maybe there's a hot spring of curse or something that works like that.

I don't expect anything, though.

... It's hard to expect.

But you might want to come in occasionally.

I've only found out a little bit about the curse.

Reflect on your conversation with Marelle the other day.

"From the skin of Master Bellia, which you provided the other day, the collection of magic marks has been completed. Sorry it took longer than expected"

"Fine, I know you're working hard"

A bear still floats in her face.

"So, did you find anything out from the magic mark?

Ask Marrell.

Magic marks are the nature of the magic that each possesses and are not visible to the eye, but are always reflected when using magic.

"That's it, do you say it's a little odd"

"Strange?"

"Yes, the magic crest is in odd shape. Should we say that there is no regularity"

"... what do you mean?

"Let me explain it in turn. First of all, I took the magic mark this time because I wanted to be able to create a radar that would react to the recorded magic mark. There's a limit to the distance, and I don't have to react until I get somewhat close, because I'm sure it'll play a role in finding the killer."

"I see, so... did you make the radar?

"That's..."

After that inquiry, Marelle mumbles.

"… in conclusion, it is difficult to create a complete one at the moment"

"How could that be?

"Can you look at this?

Marelle takes out two sheets of paper and spreads them so that they line up on the desk.

"This will be a piece of paper visualized and photographed with magic prints. On the right will be the magic mark of this magic surgeon of hair removal. On the left is my magic mark, I brought this for comparison"

Marrell's explanation continues.

Finding out whose magic is far more challenging than simply examining the size of magic with magic sensing.

With experience, we become somewhat aware of whose magic prints are, but they are sensory, vague shapes.

Therefore, they usually use a special paper called matras paper to investigate.

This matras paper reacts to magic.

Dropping water droplets on the surface of the water causes magic on the paper so that its ripples spread, and a thousand different shapes float on the paper depending on the magic of the subject.

In fact, a magic print is not a visible thing.

By pseudo-expressing magic marks on paper and making them visible shapes, the characteristics of the surgeon's magic can be read from the matras paper.

"As Berea knows, magic marks are unique to that person, the same magic marks do not exist in two, so anyone who matches the collected magic marks will be a magic magician."

"Right, so?

"As I said earlier, as you can see from this paper, the magic mark of the operator who collected it is distorted."

Honestly, they both look like child's graffiti to me that I'm not specialized in.

On both papers, squares, triangles, circles, ellipses, trapezoids, and various patterns are depicted on the paper.

The size of the shapes also falls apart.

But there is a decisive difference between the two papers.

The difference is obvious.

Marelle's magic prints are not bordered by the shapes and the number of patterns is small.

The surgeon has many overlapping shapes and a large number of patterns.

For example, some are elliptical as they are subjected to above the triangle, or triangles overlap with each other like a six-mounted star.

"Cheng Cheng, it's a distortion."

I graffitied the paper once, again because it's a waste of time to throw it away... that's the impression.

"Normally this doesn't happen. How the hell did this happen? It's like a mixture of multiple powers, that's how it's done."

"Multiple? You mean maybe there's a collaborator?

"Yes, we're still talking about possibilities..."

Is there someone who can help you curse this joke?

One way or another, I thought it was more likely that a solo offender

This is me against you... you have good guts.

"I don't know if it's intentional, but it's cover-up. That's all, and it's pretty hard to track. I'll do everything I can, of course... at least with that girl."

"... about my daughter you've talked about before?

"Yes, he's my sister apprentice. She might know something. I hope it's funny, but he was a motto, a kid who would do terrible things once in a while."

"Dark elves, indeed."

"Yes, where are you now, Leona..."

Marelle speaks the name of Pottori and his daughter.

Dark elves......

Would you rather ask when you meet the Cliff of the Demon King of High Elves?

You can't even remember each and every inhabitant of the city, but Marrell said he was talking about an amazing alchemist.

Maybe we'll get some information.

"At least if you have any kicks...... I just need some more info on the operator"

Time passes by.

When I came back, I prayed for some more analysis going on and left the castle.

"Is that a thought, Master Beria?

"... Oh, I'm sorry"

"You mean the meeting with Demon King Cliff, anything to worry about?

"... yeah. It feels good to soak in the hot springs, it just boggles."

In a hurry, deceive Corl.

Don't, don't.

I came to the hot springs because of this, so I need to forget about it now.

With that in mind, Corlu's gaze was pouring on me.

"Hey, what? Look at a person's body as a dildo."

"You're as beautiful as ever. Even me in Sacubus, to the point where I get so grumpy."

"Thanks, but don't look too much"

"It's a woman to woman, okay...... hmm?

"Duh, what's wrong?

"Dear Berea... it seems that somewhere is different from when we met before. I don't know what to say."

……

She's a sacubus.

It may be very sensitive to such physical changes.

The ruling city of Lidomdora in Corru has become a welcoming area, with many shops offering sexual services to men run by the sacubas under its administration.

I don't really like the store's presence as a woman, but it's a sacubus that needs refinement.

I understand the need for such a city.

As far as the reports that will be sent, for the price of conscience, there is considerable revenue, and she has taken due account of the security of the city.

I wouldn't go around saying it all too beautifully.

"Uh-huh, are you out of your mind? Vampires don't age, and no, but..."

Anyway, that's a bad flow...... we need to get out of the way.

"Well, how about that? What about Corlu?

"What do you say? Uh, what is it? Like what's going on in my ruling brothel?

"Oh, yeah."

"That's unusual... Master Beria didn't like that kind of story, did she? Of course, if you say that Master Beria would be nice, I'll tell you."

Anything now, if you change your mind.

"Right, on a recent topic... I opened a store last month on the suggestion of a subordinate called 'One Line'. As you can imagine from that name, I specialize in pao bread, but this is again more popular than I expected... really, you don't know where the demand is"

……

"A real man is an idiot, isn't he? Thanks to you, it's already Gappo Gappo."

"... I knew you'd change your story? In a hurry."

"Huh? We haven't talked about the second store that's opening soon."

"... you didn't hear me? Are you trying to console me?

"Ha-ha-ha! Shh, excuse me!... hey, consolation?

Then, I stare at Corl out of anger.

Such a topic, just unpleasant to ask.

Oh, I scared her unconsciously.

She probably has no malice, so I need to reflect.

That, and this, is because of the joke operator.

The hot springs were pleasant, but my stomach ached.

I'm glad Corl never noticed me on the way.

I want to try to come to the hot springs with more serenity next time.
