Monster Musume Harem wo Tsukurou!-Chapter 101: The Fight continues

Yukurishisu′s POV

“They went on without permission alone.... It was shaking quite a lot, are they all right?" Yukurishisu

“Now we have to do something about it. We've managed to get up here, but the enemies are coming from the bottom." Tyres/Toururi?

After Tsuchio went up without permission, we had been rising up while defeating each of the magicians who were on the stairs. Since reinforcements have been steadily coming, we had to leave some of our staffs there for stalling and now only my siblings and I are here. Unless we quickly knock down the culprit, the hardship of the people who work hard will just end up as bubbles....Who is the culprit?

“This fuss around this time...it is the work of the former emperor."

“Well, that is reasonable. The main guys all got back to remote areas. Are these factions who have lost their heads rebelling now?"

“That's right, but isn't it reasonable to say that?"

“The reason is that it doesn't matter now. It is necessary to find the ringleader and defeat him. Tsuchio may not be able to defeat Ruu, so we need to do it fast." Yukurishisu

As we climbed the stairs, it was supposed to be a hall.... However, the tiles spread on the floor are shattered and nearly half of the walls are broken and the blue sky is visible.

“Yukurishisu-sama.” Nichrome

“Nichrome! This terrible situation..." Yukurishisu

“It is a battle mark from Ruu. In the end, it was an air battle." Nichrome

“Where is Tsuchio? Have you solved Ruu's brainwashing?" Yukurishisu

“Ruu's brainwashing was solved safely, but master is in an unsettling situation. Come, this way." Nichrome

Following Nichrome, we head to the back of the hall. There was Tsuchio′s figure, which is treated by a girl who leaned against a rock snake and resembles someone similar. Bleeding from the belly, the right arm is somehow destroyed. The skin is torn, the meat is exposed; it is full of blood, and you can see things that seem like bones from some places. Ruu is crying with red eyes besides him. And why is Lime squeezed by Rin.

“...Yukurishisu-san.” Tsuchio

“Tsuchio..." Yukurishisu

“This is terrible..." Tsuchio

『Dont talk! Your wounds are still not healed at all!』Tsuchino

“I'm not stunned by such an injury...tenacity.” Tsuchio

“It is painful not to be able to faint...will your right arm heal?" Yukurishisu

『It's not cured or healed! Absolutely, I will restore it...』Tsuchino

“When everything is done, I'll have the magicians heal you. So, why is Lime suppressed?” Yukurishisu

“It seems that Ruu stabbed me in her pretty head. Therefore, she was trying to commit suicide alone, so I asked Rin to suppress her." Tsuchio

“Is that so.... Ruu.” Yukurishisu

“There seems to be no memory from while she was brainwashed. She is very calm now, but she has been apologizing and crying for a while..." Tsuchio

“It's no wonder. I have no recollection of the time, so it's horrible to understand why... " Ruu

...The top floor was above. In an emergency, the stairs were stored in the ceiling. You can only lower it from above, then...

“There is no choice but to break the ceiling and move on. Tyres, Toururi, you guys evacuate Tsuchio towards the stairs..." Yukurishisu

『I'm not very impressed with breaking buildings. You will be suspected of your dignity as the empress, Yukurishisu-sama.』???

From somewhere, the voice of a woman can be heard. The wording is polite, but it seems like a fool here somehow.

“...Elder sister, this voice.” Toururi

『We will let down the stairs, so please come up from there. Second Prince and Princess must also come.』???

A part of the ceiling descended along the wall with a woman's voice and it became a staircase. No way, this commotion....

“What's the matter, Yukurishisu? Do you know that voice? Aitatata..." Tsuchio

“...Yes, I remember it well.” Yukurishisu

“But she died in prison because she was imprisoned for the crimes she had done in the illegal study of magic.” Tyres

“Jailbreak...has she been imprisoned from the beginning?" Toururi

“I guess she changed her appearance completely with magic. That would be an easy task for me, I guess..." Yukurishisu

If so, I'm convinced that so many people were manipulated by her because she has the skills to do that.

“What is the purpose of that woman? My older brother who was crazy is already dead..." Yukurishisu

“We will know when we ask her, let’s go." Tyres

“Okay, but it could be a trap.” Toururi

“There won't be a trap. Even one of us can deal with the amount of opponents. Surely, she knows that." Yukurishisu

“Who is that person...? The ringleader of this commotion?” Tsuchio

“...Ringleader, the one who manipulated me?” Ruu

Ruu who heard it rises up swiftly. Her eyes that had been moist until a while ago are now burning with fury.

“I will go, I will beat her." Ruu

“Ruu, you don't have enough magical power or physical strength to fight already." Yukurishisu

“But!” Ruu

“That's right, elder sister. I understand how painful it is, but please stop here." Lime

“What, Lime, you wanted to suicide until a while ago." Rin

“Don't boast, Rin-chan. I'm going, my magic and my strength haven't exhausted." Lime

“If so, I will also come with you. My magic power is low, but I can still fight." Rin

“...Good, then everyone is coming.” Tsuchio

『Such a thing, Tsuchio isn't in a good condition to move! He will be killed!?』Tsuchino

It is true what the girl similar to Tsuchio says... but the situation that I cannot say is painful. The other party is too bad; if you don't do well, you may be taken hostage. In that case, it would be better if I leave them in the reach of my hand.

“What the hell are you talking about, Yukurishisu-san...?"

“...Her name is Almira. The right arm of the former emperor, the magician of the capital. And she's an avid follower of my brother. She makes you feel crazy." Yukurishisu

“Believer...what kind of person is that?”

“Anyway, she was the only person who was interested in my brother, who wasn't meant to be the emperor. She'll do anything for my brother: murder, inhuman experiments, kidnapping, torture, etc. " Yukurishisu

“Such a person...if that person caused such a commotion, what is the purpose of it?”

“I don't want to know what she thinks. Anyway, it is dangerous to wait here now. I'll ask you to come along with no questions." Yukurishisu

『...Then, it can't be helped. Tsuchio, it will be very painful but be patient.』Tsuchino

“What about the bleeding?” Tsuchio

『Subtle. It's stopping now, but it may open again when you move. You'll have to rest as much as possible.』Tsuchino

“Roger that. Rin, sorry, but please carry me. The rock snakes...shall I collect them later? Anyway, if the enemy comes, we will intercept." Tsuchio

Almira... I never wanted to see you again. Although it was here 200 years ago, I will take revenge for Tsuchio and Ruu....I will never forgive you.

Tsuchio′s POV

“Gguuu..." Tsuchio

“Are you okay...you seem to sweat a lot. I will try not to shake as much as possible..." Rin

“No, it's okay...no blood. Don't worry about me.” Tsuchio

“You are growling on my back, so I can't stop worrying.... It might be dangerous, but it would be better to stay behind.” Rin

“No, if I can fight without worrying about Yukurishisu, it's cheap enough. Aa, but ouch, it hurts..." Tsuchio

While riding on Rin′s back, we go up the stairs. But, did the right hand of the previous emperor actually cause this trouble? Moreover, a crazy follower, a woman who does anything for her Lord. Why did such a woman do this?

“Coup d'etat, why not? Because it was the main purpose, there is no way to make a person other than their Lord the emperor. So, I don't even think she will become emperor."

“I also said my older sister doesn't care about her purpose. I wish we could hear it later." 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

That said...even though the opponent is the magician of the Imperial City, she is also crazy in many ways, right? I don't know what to do. Why did she do such a thing...to kill Yukurishisu? As much as it is, there are things like assassination to do this. I wouldn't bother to make everyone in this town brainwashed. If you do something so big, there is a reason for that.

“...Oh shit, I cannot understand the whole thing. I can’t concentrate because of the pain. And I can't understand the intention of that woman with common sense..." Tsuchio

“We arrived. You should be careful of surprise attacks." Tyres

“Let's get started from here." Tsuchio

“Once we go out, it will be erased in a moment. You guys protect Tsuchio, leave Almira to us." Tyres

“Tyres-san is right. You have to endure this time and protect me.” Tsuchio

“...”

Lime silently comes back to my side. Well, what kind of person is Almira-san....

The place where we went up the stairs was a round room like a office. It is quite wide and it has quite a depth. A carpet is laid on the floor, sunlight is inserted from the four large windows and it is likely to have a desk or a bookshelf inside usually, but now there is nothing but a table in the middle. And people standing before that. A fascinating woman with purple hair that reaches to her waist and wearing gray clothes that suits her body lines well. Her skin is morbidly white and bright red lipstick is put on her lips. From her back, you can see bat wings and a tail. Perhaps, she is a demon or a succubus.

“Long time no see, First Princess Yukurishisu. It would be better to call you empress now, but please forgive me. For me, he is the only emperor." Almira

“I guess. It is you who brainwashed the townspeople. Why did you do this? " Yukurishisu

“It is useless to talk to you, you won’t understand it anyway." Almira

“...You, do you understand what you did? Innocent people have been forced to fight..." Yukurishisu

“Of course, I understand. The people who died here will die for him. Right?” Almira

“No matter how much, it won't be a good reason to kill the people as the empress!" Almira

“...Die for my older brother? What do you mean, my older brother is already dead..." Yukurishisu

“Yes, yes. Because of you who is nothing! To you that is beyond his feet! He was killed!” Almira

Almira says so. A smile like a crescent moon sticks to her face, contrary to her words that is covered with grudges. I don't know the reason why she hates Yukurishisu so much only because she killed her brother. Goosebumps arise even though my consciousness is not suitable for expressions mixed with craziness.

“...That's right, I killed my older brother. That is an indisputable fact, my older brother is no longer coming back. You will understand that as well!" Yukurishisu

“Won't come back? Who decided such a thing? How can you say that Grannir-san won't come back?" Almira

Yukurishisu′s brother is called Grannir? No, more importantly....

“What the hell are you talking about, my dead brother is alive?” Yukurishisu

“That's right! He will descend into this world again!” Almira

“What are you saying..." Yukurishisu

“Yukurishisu-sama, do you remember my research?” Almira

“Summoning a object at the cost of a person's life...no way, you are going to bring my brother's soul back to this world!?” Yukurishisu

“As you can imagine, you are right. A magic circle covering all of this town, will be the substitute for the reviving of my Lord. And for that, we also have Grannir-san′s head." Almira

Almira-san turns around to show us what is on the table. The living head of a fearless man with two large horns, was literally sitting there.

“We have already finished preparing...afterwards, we will just activate the magic."

“You think I'll make it so easy for you?”

“I'll crush you with haste and destroy the magic circle later."

“I'll have my brother's head back. Even such a brother belongs to my family."

The magical power of everyone in this place blasts explosively. Magical power of each one is mighty. Wow...after all, I am out of place. Almira′s magic power is breathtakingly dark, nevertheless she put her hands on the floor and breathes roughly. Even I was put into her eyes...and she is directing intense killing intention towards us. It is as if a wound is hollowed out with a knife.

“Tsuchio? Tsuchio!”

“Hhaa! Ba, Bad Ruu. You shouldn't keep your eyes off..."

『No wonder...when you take your eyes off, you'll be killed.』Tsuchino

“Let's start an outpost fight for the Lord to return. The remaining time is only a little...in the meantime, will you be able to kill me?" Almira

Almira's magical power is directed towards us with clear murderous intent. At the same time, a line floated on the floor and the figure was connected and lighted out. It is supposed to cover the magic...but there is not much change outside. Where did she set up the magic circle?

“Now, let’s kill each other.” Almira

“Only you will be killed.”

Thus, the curtains to a fierce battle opened.
