Black-Haired Alien From Another World 403

## Chapter 403 – Harpy Lady

With a loud crash, something landed in the front yard. From the darkness of the cave, I scrutinized the figure that had fallen.

ㅡKeeeek!
ㅡKeeheeheet!
ㅡKee kee keet!!

Soon, the bizarre laughter of harpies echoed. Something akin to pure joy flowed from between their fangs. Gleaming eyes, the harpies watched with envious gazes.

ㅡThud, thud.

As the massive wings folded, a human figure became visible. The envious gazes were fixed on her. Envy? If a stunningly tall beauty appeared, anyone would look at her like that.

“Holy crap.”

The harpy queen appeared to be nearly two meters tall.

She had led the harpy group that I had decimated earlier – well, the quintet… no, since two were injured, it was now a trio. She was a beauty with flowing golden hair, massive breasts, and an aggressive glint in her eyes, as if she saw humans as prey.

Her wings were golden, matching her hair. Her claws and nails looked tough and strong. She truly possessed the dignity befitting a queen.

Was she as strong as Alaune?

I didn’t know.

She could be weaker, similar, or, in the worst case, stronger. I gripped my sword, preparing for battle. After all, my job remained the same.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It’s him!”
“He’s a strong male! Shilla, Mur, and Pellaca were defeated!”
“Please teach him a lesson!”

Having brought a reliable backer, the three harpies, now brimming with confidence, mocked me as they clung to the queen’s thigh, rubbing their cheeks against her. Seeing naked beauties with huge breasts acting like that did stir some lewd thoughts.

Was their entire race just made up of beauties, like the dryads?

ㅡThud.

The harpy queen, who had been walking towards me, stopped and stared intently.

“…”

It was an inscrutable gaze. Hostile? Or looking at prey? I couldn’t read it. Compared to Alaune, who had been so expressive, she was expressionless.

Right now, my mental ranking of the harpies’ combat power could be summarized in three tiers:

The weakest, the common grunt harpies, had small chests and were short. They also seemed a bit dim-witted.

Then there were the MILF harpies, with large chests and tall stature. They were reasonably strong, but weaker than me. Their intelligence seemed a bit higher than the grunts. Maybe around the level of a human?

Finally, there was this harpy queen.

Her chest and height were overwhelmingly large. A two-meter frame was an absolute advantage. Her nails seemed a bit long, but that wasn’t a significant difference. In terms of reach, I, with my sword, would have the advantage.

That was all I could tell.

I didn’t know how strong she was.

“Well… what a perfect male.”
“Excuse me?”

The harpy queen, who had been staring at me, opened her mouth. Immediately, the enjoyment spread across her face, which had been expressionless despite her aggressive gaze. Was this bastard the type to suddenly stab you with a knife while laughing?

Those kinds of stereotypical psychopaths were usually good fighters.

“Indeed, he would be too much for you lot.”

The harpy queen said as she peeled the MILF harpies off her thigh. The harpies looked as if they were melting as they retreated.

This is bad.

She looked incredibly strong… I couldn’t get a read on her.

Her voice sounded somewhat benevolent. Her flowing golden hair even seemed to sparkle, and if she had wings on her back, you could believe she was an angel.

“Trying to subdue a male like this would be a great loss, wouldn’t it?”

The queen, having sent the harpies back, looked at my face. It was a fact that I was a strong male, as she said. Those harpies couldn’t beat me even if they all attacked.

But these monsters were often like that – the small fry were weak, but the boss monsters were incredibly strong.

“…”

It was a bit strange that the harpy queen acknowledged my combat power.

“Yes, that’s right. Those harpies can’t subdue me. I am deeply grateful that Your Majesty recognizes this.”
“Yes, they would be outmatched.”

The harpy queen’s attitude wasn’t aggressive or combative like other monsters. She didn’t seem to enjoy killing, and she was calm, as if she wanted to have a conversation.

Was she the type you could reason with?

Or was she not that strong?

If she felt threatened by my combat power and was trying to resolve things with words, that would be the best-case scenario.

Then I should respond to the conversation.

“But not me. Even if you are a strong male, I don’t think you are stronger than I am.”
“Hehehe, you never know, do you? Even Your Majesty’s subordinates couldn’t subdue me, Kim Kat. Of course, Your Majesty is strong. But you won’t be able to touch me without getting hurt.”

Even if I die, I can still land a hit.

I was confident in that.

“Such fierce words. Well, it’s fine. I’m not trying to have that kind of conversation right now.”

Not that kind of conversation?

“You want to talk instead of fight?”
“What if I do?”
“I don’t dislike those who like to talk. I will listen attentively. Please tell me anything, Your Majesty.”

So, the reason she wasn’t being aggressive was because she wanted to talk.

If she was willing to talk, that meant there was room for negotiation. I would gladly respond.

Originally, nothing could be resolved with words, but negotiations were an exception.

“Well, then, what should we talk about first?”

I lowered my sword slightly and waited for the queen’s words.

“Our harpies kidnap males of other species during their breeding season, violate them, take their seed, and lay eggs.”

As if starting a conversation, the queen began with that kind of story.

I naturally chimed in.

“Is that so? But why humans in particular?”
“Because human seed is the most suitable. And it’s easy to find.”

That was true.

Humans were everywhere in the world.

And while there was a huge variation in individual strength, with a few incredibly strong ones, most humans were weak and pathetic.

They would be the easiest to kidnap.

Was that why harpies looked like human females?

“But the number of males we can kidnap is limited… It’s only natural. Kidnapping a male stronger than our harpies is extremely difficult.”

The harpy queen said with a sigh, running her fingernails over her lips.

“I suppose so. It’s not an easy thing to do. But why are you so obsessed with strong males?”
“If we receive the seed of a strong male, the children born will inherit some of that strength.”

So, they were that kind of race.

They needed the seed of a strong male to produce strong offspring.

“That’s why we always want strong males… but as I said, obtaining such a male is quite difficult. It’s almost miraculous that a male like you was kidnapped all the way to our nest.”
“I feel the same way.”

I had created an opening while trying to save that Zenith bastard, and then harpies I had never seen before attacked me as a group, making it difficult to respond.

Initially, I had tried to escape by stomping on a harpy’s foot, but the other ones grabbed my shoulders in succession, causing me to miss my timing and get kidnapped. In many ways, I lacked experience and was unlucky.

“Perhaps obtaining a male of this caliber is our limit. This seems like a good opportunity.”

Having said that, the queen scanned my entire body with a blatant gaze.

…Damn it, I knew it.

In the end, she wanted to sleep with me.

She had adopted a flexible attitude to tell me this. She was thinking of gently coaxing me into her bed, afraid that she or the other harpies might get hurt.

“Don’t you want to get out of here alive?”

The harpy queen said, looking at my face with shining eyes. She was saying that if I wanted to live, I should have sex with her and make fertilized eggs.

“…Of course, I want to get out of here alive.”
“Then there’s a good way.”
“What is it?”
“My daughter.”
“Excuse me?”

Daughter?

“Mate with my daughter and impregnate her with your seed. A male like you would be perfect as my daughter’s first partner.”
“Huh?”

So… the harpy queen was now asking me to sleep with her daughter, the harpy princess. I had thought she would ask me to do it with her, but I never expected it to be her daughter.

“It wouldn’t be a bad deal for you, a human male born with an infinite desire to procreate. Our harpy beauty is quite stimulating to human lust. What do you say?”
“Hmm…”

If it was just about banging someone pretty, you could bang a pretty mannequin. In other words, it was crazy. As I was thinking that, the harpy queen added an explanation, thinking that I was hesitating.

“Of course, you have no choice. I’m just offering a way for both of us to benefit. Mate with my daughter and plant your seed. Then my daughter will have strong offspring, and you will be released.”

She would let me go if I had sex with her.

“You’re more reasonable than I thought? To offer such a method?”
“You gain wisdom when you live long. There’s no need to shed blood over something that can be resolved without it.”

The harpy queen’s words were quite reasonable.

Instead of starting a fight without question, she was trying to negotiate. She had wisdom. But based on my guess, she didn’t seem to be a transcendentally strong being.

She had wisdom, but she lacked power.

If she was truly strong, she wouldn’t need negotiation or conversation. She could just overwhelm with her overwhelming power and force her will.

ㅡShe’s less powerful than Alaune.

That was why she was obsessed with strong males and thinking of making a deal with me, who possessed such seed. The deal itself was fine.

Of course, there was no guarantee that she would release me after the act, but if I didn’t agree, all the harpies, including the harpy queen, would attack.

I had been able to win against the harpy quintet because they were weaker than Shilla, but if the queen fought directly, even if I put up a good fight and killed a few harpies, I wouldn’t be able to avoid death.

No, even if they just left me in the cave, I would die.

The harpy queen knew that, so she made the offer.

She could kill me by fighting, but that would mean they would have to suffer losses as well. So, she was making a deal by making an offer I couldn’t refuse.

ㅡShe would release me if she got what she wanted.

She knew how to use her head.

“So, male. Will you accept the offer? It would be a shame if you refused…”

I had no choice.

I never thought I would be forced into this kind of situation…!

“I accept.”

I had no choice but to accept the offer for now.

The harpy queen had made the offer directly. Ignoring this offer meant throwing away my life… I had to live for now.

If I could use my trump card, I would, but I couldn’t use it at all right now.

Honestly, I had fought because I thought I could win against the harpy underlings.

But the queen was a different story.

Was it time to compromise…?

“Heh… hehehe. Well, you thought it through. It’s amazing that I can communicate with a human.”

I didn’t know I could communicate with a monster either. I couldn’t believe that a peaceful negotiation and deal had been reached, and I was beyond surprised.

As expected, those who were queens had high intelligence.

She was more reasonable than most humans.

“I’m surprised too… But your daughter?”
“Is there a problem?”

Why her daughter instead of doing it herself?

I had fully expected her to tell me to do it with her.

“Oh, it’s just a bit unexpected. I thought you would ask to do the mating yourself.”
“Oh? Eunghuhuhut?”

At those words, the harpy queen laughed as if she had heard something funny. The way her eyes curved was quite attractive. Of course, she wasn’t as pretty as my wives.

“Huhu, you wanted to mate with me? I’m old and can’t receive seed, so there’s no need, but if you mate with my daughter, I might become your female for a day as compensation for the deal. Of course, I’ll let you go after that.”
“Oh…”

She was menopausal.

I understood.

“It’s okay.”
“That’s a shame.”

As soon as I declined, the queen called the harpies behind her.

“Bring Sesirit.”

Hmm, but menopausal.

Was it because she was a monster? Her body and face looked like she was only in her late twenties.

And she had no pubic hair.
