## Chapter 309 – Monarch of the Monsters (11)
“Inspector Deborah…!! Huh…?
Where’s Investigator Deborah…?”
“She’s on patrol for the time being.
She said she’s looking for the monster’s flesh scattered in Undenbrah…
Is it urgent? She said she’d definitely stop by before leaving work…”
“Ah… A report came up from the Royal Magic Analysis Bureau…
They said the number of accident reports has suddenly increased.
So, they compared it to the wyvern they had stored.”
“Oh? And the results?”
“Well… It doesn’t look good at all…
I was worried, so I thought I should deliver it…”
“She didn’t say what route she was taking on her patrol…
It seems like it’ll be difficult for a while until she returns.
Then, I’ll report it directly to Chief Superintendent instead.”
“Thank you. Take care!!”
.
.
.
.
.
.
“That’s all. I won’t take questions.”
“Deborah!! That’s so insincere!!
Ask questions quickly, juniors♡”
It was truly a moment filled with shock and chaos.
The four kendo club girls and two seniors were standing at the meeting place to begin their assignment experience.
Deborah, looking as if it were ‘that day,’ wore an expression that was not only indifferent but also somewhat uncomfortable. Polcinella poked her in the side at Deborah’s words, and Deborah seemed to try to say something before letting out a sigh.
“So… we just go around…
and find the fallen pieces of flesh…?”
“That’s right. There’s no need to go separately; move in teams.
It has been determined that unfounded, false rumors about the flesh have been spreading recently.
There are even those who use the fallen pieces of flesh, whose safety has not been verified, as if they were folk remedies.
Be careful, as there are cases of people buying and selling the flesh that should be recovered, or hiding it.”
“Folk… remedies…?”
Perhaps it was the same everywhere people lived, but superstitions and rumors were bound to spread about things they didn’t know well.
Among the people of Groden, strange rumors were circulating about the flesh falling from the sky, just as Deborah had said.
Now that the creature they had encountered was presumed to be a ‘wyvern.’
Because wyvern scales were sometimes used as medicine for certain diseases, people were collecting the flesh themselves and misusing it as they pleased.
“If that’s the reason, then it’s a big problem!?
I’ll do my best to find it diligently!!”
Hearing the reason, Roxanne seemed to be burning with passion, shouting with a fighting pose.
“Hehe!! Medicine is for pharmacists!!
I won’t forgive those who aren’t!!”
Lanie, watching her, seemed to have become friendly with her, putting her arm around Roxanne’s shoulder and shouting along. Vivian’s lips curled up as she watched them.
“Ha… haha…”
It seemed too early for her to relax, as there was another person charging in.
“Yay~ Let’s split into two teams!!
Two little ones!! And one big sister!!
Anyone want to play with Nel unni!! Gather around!!”
“Polcinella…!! What are you talking about…!!”
“Waaaaaa!! We’re a team!!
Then, to stop the forces of evil, charge!!”
“Charge!! Chaaarge!!”
Watching the three women who had quickly formed a team and run off, Deborah, who had been reaching out with a blank expression, let out a groan.
Vivian, left behind, looked around at the remaining three and let out a small, hollow laugh.
‘What a chaotic combination.’
Investigator Deborah from the Public Security Police Department, Queen Vivian, and Anne, who was difficult to fit into any combination in many ways.
As soon as she grasped the situation, Vivian’s mind was filled with discomfort, worrying about what was to come.
.
.
.
Perhaps it was because it was a group that didn’t talk much in the first place.
Deborah, who was taciturn except for necessary words, Vivian, who was second to none when it came to haughtiness, and Anne, who didn’t talk much to people other than her sister.
The three women walked down the street without saying much, looking around.
“It’s here. Wait here for a moment.”
Deborah, having finally arrived in front of a half-destroyed building, stopped the two girls who were following her and walked to the door to knock.
“…… Who is it?”
“We’re from the Public Security Police Department.
There’s flesh here…”
Deborah, who was talking to the owner of the house, turned around and nodded, and only then could Vivian and Anne, who had been waiting behind, take a step and follow Deborah into the building.
“Then, we’ll lift it together. One, two…!!”
“Huuuuh!!”
The group took out the flesh that was inside the building and, together, lifted the chunk of meat, whose blood had dried a little, to the front of the door.
Deborah, who roughly wiped the unidentified, sticky blood all over her uniform, checked the flesh in a well-lit place and wrote down the details in her notebook.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t expected this kind of work.
Anne looked a little gloomy with her hands and clothes stained with blood, but she wiped the blood off her hands with her clothes with a realistic expression, as if it couldn’t be helped.
Rather, Vivian was the one who was having the most trouble…
Since she was wearing Nemea, which acted as her clothes, she didn’t have to worry about getting dirty.
Even without ordering them, they would automatically absorb the foreign substances on the surface of the clothes, making them as fluffy as if they had just been washed.
But that was the problem.
In a situation like now, where everyone was filthy, she couldn’t be the only one with clean clothes.
‘I can’t let them absorb the blood now…
I’d rather give them this…’
Vivian, in order to prevent Nemea, who had sensed the blood on the surface of her clothes, from continuing to absorb it, had no choice but to give them her pussy, and there was an unavoidable small blush on her face.
“Huu… Ugh…”
It would have been solved if she had just let them eat the blood that was on her.
Not only did she have to give them her pussy and feed them her fluids, but she also had to leave the filthy, rotting blood on it.
Vivian’s expression, which could never be pleasant, was filled with annoyance, when she heard a small voice directed at her.
“Hey… are you okay…?”
“N… no problem…
It’s just… it’s the first time I’ve had blood on me like this…”
“I see…
We can wash it later when we get back.
Can you bear with it for a little while now?”
Since they were officially senior and junior, Anne asked, seemingly taking care of her as a senior.
Of course, their first meeting as senior and junior was quite unpleasant due to Vivian’s challenging behavior.
But Anne’s actions, speaking to her naturally as if she had forgotten what had happened at that time, made the resolute Vivian feel rather awkward.
“Then, we’ll move on to the next place.”
“Tell me if it’s too hard…?
I’ll help you somehow.”
Fortunately, Deborah mentioned that they were moving to the next place, and Anne whispered to Vivian before starting to follow her.
Vivian, watching her, felt Nemea, who had been gradually seeping into her vagina, settle completely, and only then could she move her feet with a slight feeling of discomfort.
“Public Security Police Department.”
Anyway, Deborah and her group continued to carry out their duties.
Of course, in many ways, the work was not so easily resolved.
“Where did you smuggle it to?
I’ll give you a chance to speak.”
“Tch……!!”
“He’s running away!! Catch him!!”
Sometimes, they caught criminals after crossing a few bridges through chases or other ‘fun and exciting conversations.’
It was at this point that Vivian’s performance began to stand out quite a bit.
Blocking the escape route in advance, or ramming into them at once without causing a fight and making them roll miserably on the floor, or sometimes barging into the criminals with only a sword in hand and wreaking havoc.
Each time, Vivian’s actions, to the point where she made the sword that Deborah drew a decoration, were quite impressive.
Even Anne, who didn’t know how to deal with criminals, was fidgeting and barely breathing next to her, not even knowing what to do, so Vivian couldn’t help but be highly praised.
“Here. Call for backup?”
“You’re quite skilled.
But you shouldn’t do dangerous things, should you?
You’re still a student, aren’t you?”
“I’m the type to do things properly when I do them.
It’s an ‘assignment,’ after all.”
“Blackbeard 25th Street. Four criminals apprehended.
Requesting support for the transfer of the apprehended.”
Deborah, after hearing Vivian’s answer, simply took out a magic tool for calling and whispered something into it without saying a word.
She was talking unilaterally, as if there was no two-way communication, but in any case, as some investigators arrived and took away the criminals and the remaining scraps of flesh, they were able to move on to the next place.
But just before they moved on, an investigator who seemed to recognize Deborah saluted her, and Deborah’s group stopped in their tracks.
“Inspector.”
“Winston. What is it?”
“A report came in from the Magic Analysis Bureau.
I’m delivering it to you now since you’re away.”
The investigator glanced at Anne and Vivian, who were following Deborah, and whispered something to Deborah.
‘Hmm… It’s not a wyvern……’
But Vivian, who had been able to hear even a small part of the whisper, was thinking something else in her mind.
‘Magic power is observed in the flesh…?
Some people eat it and get an unknown disease…
In many ways, the identity is unknown……?
Things are getting interesting?’
So far, what humans had inferred about the creature that had collided with Undenbrah was due to eyewitness accounts and the characteristic elements that could be identified in the flesh.
A large body like a winged reptile, as well as characteristic muscle fiber tissue, and, most of all, scales, which were the easiest feature to identify.
The only creature that all of that pointed to was a ‘wyvern.’
But at the words that it was a different creature with the same characteristics, Vivian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
‘Well, is it going to be a dragon from legend?
More than that… I hope there are no problems with Floraz?’
Of course, Vivian was usually managing it well, so the Henias working at Floraz wouldn’t be doing anything dangerous.
And the employees had been thoroughly trained to avoid being caught.
Just as the search route was about to leave Floraz, Vivian, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the investigator and Deborah, was relieved.
“Ah……!! Madam……!!”
Suddenly, at the loud voice ringing out from behind her, Vivian, who had reacted especially to the word ‘Madam,’ flinched and turned around.
A girl wearing plain but neatly laundered everyday clothes, like an ordinary commoner, was holding a basket as big as her torso, as if she had come out on an errand.
As she shook the basket and approached with quick steps, trying to bow, Vivian quickly put her arms around the girl as if she was glad to see her.
“I… I’m greeting you again…!!
Thank you for buying… Mmph…!!”
As the girl made a flustered expression at Vivian’s hand, which was blocking her mouth, Vivian’s quietly whispered words lingered in the girl’s ear.
“‘Madam’ is forbidden. Call me ‘unni’ now?
And that story is also forbidden here.
I’ll hear the details at Floraz.
Nod if you understand me.”
– Nod nod
Recalling the human girl named ‘Lily’ whom she had bought as a bonus at the end after buying the Ain girls at Deckard’s slave market, Vivian slowly let go of her.
The little girl who had dared to reach out her fern-like hands from inside the cage, asking Vivian to save her, had somehow ended up living as a lodger in a brothel, doing small errands.
“Yes, Lily.
Did you come out on an errand?”
“Yes……!! Uh… uh… unni……
I was told to buy just one bag of flour…
I was on my way back after buying it…!!”
Exceptionally, Greta was also helping with the work, but unlike the other beastkin girls who were receiving various education in the hideout, Lily was already working in the brothel and doing errands.
“I see… Have you eaten yet?”
“They said I’ll eat when I get back…!! Hehet…
They said it’s bread and… meat today…!!
Thank you……!!”
Vivian, looking down at the girl who was expressing her gratitude clearly with the words that today’s meal would be meat, which she usually couldn’t even see other than bread, gently stroked the girl’s head.
It might have been cruel to have such a small girl doing errands in a brothel, but it was a brothel errand that the beastkin girls would eventually experience anyway.
The Ain girls were bought with the purpose of raising them as the 2nd generation Henias in the first place, but even if that wasn’t the case, they had to earn at least their food expenses.
Unlike the beastkin, who had excellent physical abilities, in order for a human girl with no distinct advantages to survive in this world, she had to see everything, experience a little more, and become independent a little faster.
In that sense, sending the girl to the brothel as soon as she bought her might have been a fortunate thing for the girl herself.
Perhaps she would live a normal life that had nothing to do with the hideout at all.
Considering that young girls sold as slaves are usually sold to pedophiles who lust after young children.
For Lily, there was no other way to think than that it was fortunate that she had been bought by Vivian.
“Okay. Unni is doing important work right now.
So, you should go back and finish your errand now.
And then you have to eat a delicious dinner, right?”
“Yes!! Unni!!”
“Is the story over? Let’s get going.”
“Go on. Let’s talk next time.”
Vivian, who had been smiling and patting the girl’s butt before sending her back, quickly began to catch up with the group that had already left, as Deborah had said a word to start going, as if the story was over.
“Is she family…?”
“She’s a neighbor I know.
She’s a good kid.”
Anne, who had been looking at the girl cutely, perhaps recalling her sister Marie, asked.
Vivian cut off the conversation by vaguely making excuses.
“The sun is starting to set.
We’ll search just two or three more places, and then we’ll call it a day.”
Perhaps it was because they were having a spectacular assignment experience, but time had also passed quickly.
Thinking that the work would be over soon, time began to move quite quickly, and Vivian’s group, who had already searched two houses, had finally reached the house that was the last search location of the day and also the meeting point with Polcinella’s team, who had split up earlier.
“First, we’ll join the other team here, and then…
Then search the last location…
But it seems like they’ve already gone in. Tsk.”
But the Polcinella team, who should have been waiting, was nowhere to be seen, and rather, Deborah clicked her tongue and stepped forward towards the building, as she could hear a commotion from inside the search building.
But at the very moment she grabbed the doorknob.
Suddenly, she widened her eyes and threw her body to the side, and Vivian, who had been waiting behind her to follow her in, pushed Anne, who was stunned by the sudden situation, to the side as well.
It might seem like Vivian wouldn’t have been so kind as to push Anne, but this was also possible because it was a group assignment.
If one of the same group members was too seriously injured, the other group members, who would have had to cooperate to solve the problem together, would not have been able to avoid the deduction.
Thinking that it would be better for her, who was protecting her whole body with Nemea, to take the risk, she had grasped the momentary situation just like Deborah, but in the end, she had not been able to avoid something flying at her because she had pushed Anne.
In the end, Vivian was rolling on the floor in a heap with someone who was breaking the door and being thrown out.
“Keuhaaa…… What did that brother eat…
I don’t know why he’s so strong…”
Vivian, who had been rolling on the floor for a long time, lightly pushed Roxanne, who was wearing heavy armor and pressing down on her body, to the side and rolled her away.
Since she had already prepared for the impact, she was a little dizzy, but she quickly recovered and stood up with one foot on the ground, asking Roxanne, who had suddenly broken the door and been thrown out of the house.
“Ugh… Roxanne…
What’s going on inside…”
“Hoo… Well, to put it bluntly……
There’s a ‘crazy’ brother.
Nel sunbaenim and the Rene sisters are fighting back…
I’m trying to arrest him, but it’s not working?”
“What?”
Just as Vivian was expressing her doubts, Deborah was seen drawing her sword and running inside after hearing Roxanne’s last words.
In the end, Anne, who had been pushed away without much impact thanks to Vivian and had gotten up, and Vivian and Roxanne, who had also gotten up, ran into the house at the same time.
A surprising sight was unfolding before them.
“What… is that……”
