Chapter 34 – The Seventh Night and the Magic Sword

On the night of the seventh day after arriving at the capital, I invaded the castle.

Of course, was the method I used. Since I couldn’t use magic in the castle, I put into my beforehand.  (ED: don’t forget that his lets him store spells that he has cast, and use them like items later on)

According to ‘s map, the real queen is being confined in the castle’s dungeon.

For this reason, I asked Mio to purposely deploy near the dungeon. Gilbert’s invitation was like a G.o.dsend for us. I decided to bring Dora and Mio because they will be less suspicious when found wandering around.

Because of the information from Alta and Lusia, the former queen knight, I found a demon disguised as the Queen and realized that the purpose of this adventurer summoning was not a good one.

Just by being a demon doesn’t mean they will always be evil. However, there is the evidence of Lusia’s treatment after she discovered the demon’s true nature by chance; her ears were left just to cause her despair.

Since she often makes light of those who can’t do anything and boasts while revealing all the information, it seems as if she enjoys seeing the state of despair in her victims. I think this is in extremely bad taste. At this point, “Demon=Evil” in my opinion.

The demon is part of a group calling themselves the “Four Heavenly Kings” and their purpose is to destroy Eludia and all heroes. Kastal is also being targeted out of convenience as it is nearby. I don’t really care about Eludia or the heroes, but I will be troubled if Kastal is destroyed. If their plans only involved Eludia and heroes, I wouldn’t bother to interfere…

In short, I’m fine if the demons only target Eludia, but I will fight against them to protect Kastal’s “Rice” and “j.a.panese-style Houses”.

However, defeating the demon here is very difficult. Basically, I don’t have a legitimate reason to attack her directly. I know I can defeat her, but I wouldn’t be able to explain why I did it without revealing my abilities. It is really troublesome. So, I decide to let the real Queen deal with her. In short, I must have “authorization” from the real Queen. This would destroy all the suspicions about my actions towards the (fake) Queen.

As the real Queen is being imprisoned in the dungeon, it will be more likely for her to listen to my request.

That is why I have to go to dungeon and save the real Queen. The stairs to dungeon is made from stone and is dark. Probably created the way the hero imagined it. I borrow <>

nt Step> from Maria to make sure I don’t make a sound. Oh yeah, Maria tried desperately to stop me; she didn’t want me to act alone no matter what. It couldn’t be helped, so I rubbed her ears to subdue her. However, I do have Tamo-san as the last line of defense … literally.

I go down the stairs while feeling a chill. As I arrived at the bottom, I check the map again.

Obviously, the guards are demons. They are not disguised as humans using magic, but simply by hiding their skin and faces with helmets and full armor. Let’s avoid them as it would be troublesome if there is a commotion.

There is a door leading into the first set of jail cells and a guard just behind it.  There are a few prisoners with minor offenses there.  At the other end of this jail section is a door and more stairs that lead down to the prison for more serious offenders. The real Queen is there.

I use the in my that I prepared beforehand to pa.s.s through the guarded area.   lets me teleport to anywhere I see, even if it’s just a little, so I look through the keyhole past the guard and through the keyhole at other side and use .

The sanitation in this prison for serious offenders is bad, as expected.  In a way, it makes sense, since the only people here are the ones waiting to be executed. However, if the target isn’t alive, the demons’ skill can’t be used.  Thus, the prisoners are kept in a half-dead state.

I go down the stairs and arrive in front of the prison cell where the Queen is.  When I peek inside the heavy iron door, I can barely see her in there.  Well, since I can see inside, there is nothing to stop me from entering with .  I had stocked up plenty of and so I can easily afford to use it.

I smell a disgusting stench when I enter.  Checking inside the room, the girl that I could barely see from the keyhole is naked and collapsed on the floor.

Of course, this girl is the Queen.  Both her hair and eyes are black. However, her hair is unkempt and has lost its l.u.s.ter.  Her eyes are also dull and lifeless.  Her situation is similar to Sera’s.  The girl notices my presence and looks up at me.  She hoa.r.s.ely coughs out a single request …

[Kill…me…]

It looks like her situation is not similar Sera after all.  This girl has already given up on her life.

Then again, it is natural for someone in her current situation…

There are no wounds on her face or limbs.  While dirty, her body also has no scars or scratches.  The only exception is the sword which is piercing her body through her stomach and into the ground.

Magic Sword – Eternal Pain

Cla.s.sification : One-hand sword, Cursed

Rarity : Treasure cla.s.s

Note : Inflicts severe pain to the victim stabbed by this sword, but prevents the victim from dying while maintaining the wounded state. This sword was created by someone who was betrayed by their loved one.  By distorting the love into hate, it fulfilled the wish to inflict pain and suffering to target while not wanting them to die.

Looking in detail at the magic sword, it is maintaining the victim’s HP at 1 while giving them severe pain.  Simply put, it hurts to death but you cannot die.  Furthermore, pulling out the sword while the victim has only 1 HP left will immediately kill the victim as part of the curse.

Of course, the victim will starve, but again they cannot die.  It is natural to hope for death if you were in constant pain and starvation like this. By the way, it seems that the pain comes in waves, and the Queen is relatively okay at this moment.

I won’t hesitate to kill people. I don’t know when I started feeling this way, but by the time I killed my first bandit, I was already prepared.  I won’t hesitate even if the other party are women or children, if they are my enemy. But if they are not, then it is a different story.  I don’t find killing itself fun at all …

What about killing the girl in front of me?  I can’t answer that. Of course, if there is nothing that can be done except killing her out of mercy, I will do it.  But not this girl.  Because I have a way to save her.

[Do you really want to die? Why? … Oh, I already know about the demon and the fakes, so you don’t have to tell me about that.]

Her eyes show a little surprise, but are still lifeless. She speaks slightly more than before with her hoa.r.s.e voice.

[The d…demon said…if…this sword…is removed, I…will die.] 

[Yeah, that’s right.]

I encouraged her to continue.

[That demon…will return…to her original…appearance…when I die.  So…kill me…to crush the plans…of those demons]

[Is that all?]

[Isn’t it…enough? I’m…going to die…sooner or…later…after all. This is…too painful…if this continues…I want to die. Please…kill me…it could…at least…stop the demons’ plans…]

A wave of pain suddenly overcomes this girl who is gasping for breath while speaking desperately.

[Uguu…gaa! Help, hurry…]

She is writhing around. It seems she is experiencing another wave of pain. I lean close to her ear and whisper:

[If you could avoid the sword’s curse and crush the demons’ plans at the same time, what would you do?]

[*cough* If you have…gah…a way…then say it…ugh…]

[Then, if I can free you from the sword’s curse, become my subordinate.  After that, we will go and destroy the demons’ plans.]

[*cough* F-fine. If that can be done…ugh…I will be your subordinate or whatever…]

[Contract established.]

I use a that I had stored in to heal this girl. Her HP is still at a dangerous level, but she won’t die from any further loss of HP as I remove the sword.  Then, I store the magic sword in .

As the Queen sees the magic sword disappear suddenly, a dumbfounded look appears on her face.  If the sword was pulled out…she would die. But, what would happen if it just suddenly disappeared?

A: The curse of death would become invalid.

Yep, as he said.

[Huh?]

Since there is still a hole in her stomach, I use “Revive” to heal it, leaving not one scratch on her body now.

[Eh?]

[With that, you are my subordinate now.]

This girl was startled for a moment, but when her mind caught up with reality, she clung to my waist and tears spilled from her eyes like rain. Even though she is a queen, I am not happy being hugged by someone leaking tears and snot and what not.  I will definitely need the “Clean” spell for this.

[*cry* Thank you. Thank you for saving me…]

She wanted to die because she thought that all was lost.  Then, what if it wasn’t actually lost?  Of course, she will have the will to live.

After waiting for the Queen to calm down, I use “Clean” on both of us and give her the clothes I borrowed from Maria.  What’s left is to escape from this place, but…

[Hey, Queen.  Do the guards come to check on you here?]

[Ah, yes.  They come to look from the keyhole once a day.]

Then, there will be a problem if they discover that the Queen isn’t here. Then again, I have the perfect person for the job here.

Of course, that is Tamo-san.

[Ugh, it’s slimy~]

[Endure it.]

I discovered that after I increased Tamo-san’s skill, Tamo-san is able to mimic anyone without absorbing them. To be more specific, Tamo-san can be anything as long as there is a model for it.

So, I make the queen endure the slime’s a.s.sault. Tamo-san has to cover all of queen’s body. I think something woke up within me.

Once Tamo-san takes the shape of the queen, I’ve decided to leave Tamo-san here with the queen’s appearance and have her on standby here. Subordinate monsters who aren’t troubled with a standby order are great to have.

Ah, shall I have the magic sword thrusted in her just in case?

[Tamo-san, open a hole for this sword.]

With a slight transformation, Tamo-san became similar to the queen when she was stabbed by the sword. I took the sword from , put it through the hole and thrust it into the ground like it was before.

[Pi~]

Queen raised a voice I’ve heard somewhere before. That must’ve triggered her trauma as expected. She is being fidgety, so I use “Clean” at her without saying anything.

[*sob*…]

She seems extremely embarra.s.sed. What is she embarra.s.sed about at this point…?

I tell Tamo-san to stay like this for three days before I return with “Portal”. Subordinate monsters who aren’t troubled with a standby order are really precious.

After I returned, I introduced the queen to the main party plus Lusia.

[This is Sakuya, the queen of Kastal. She just became my subordinate (temporary) a little while ago.]

[In the end, Master’s evil clutches even reached the queen…]

What do you mean “evil clutches”…?

[She really is as young I have heard.]

[Your majesty, it has been a long time.]

[Eh? Lusia? What is is this about? What about the jail?]

The queen becomes confused. That is natural. I basically didn’t tell her anything at all. The only two things I’ve told the queen were the “Slime’s a.s.sasult” and “Jailbreak”.

[Before I explain, I will have you become my subordinate like we promised.]

[Become your subordinate?]

[It’s a pinky promise. When you do a pinky promise, you will approve of becoming my subordinate.]

[I- I understand.]

The queen pulled out her finger timidly. I also use my pinky finger to entwine with hers. With Queen’s permission, she has safely become my subordinate.
