Chapter 196 – The Little Mermaid and the Sexy Prince (4)
The curse of the infinite labyrinth manifests itself in different ways for each person.
There are curses that change species like Astarotte, and there are also cases where the hurdles of common sense and reason are lowered like most adventurers.
Serica?
As you can see, her curse is an impulse.
Murderous impulse.
Although she appears to be a capable adventurer on the outside, her aversion to murder has long since decreased significantly due to her long life in the labyrinth.
“Hey! Help me!!”
[When I see something like that, I feel like it’s really merciless.]
Suddenly.
Celica cut down the attackers more surely than she cut down the angler sharks.
“Whoops! Uh, why…”
“Because they tried to attack us.”
“This, this voice…”
“What? Can’t I just kill the rapist?”
“You, you…”
They came towards us shouting ‘woohyoot’, but behind their backs they were holding daggers coated with paralyzing poison.
“Now, wait a minute! The Sword Maiden! Let’s resolve it through conversation, through conversation!”
“With the conversation of the sword.”
Suddenly.
Another person lost his head.
The one remaining person, a man with tanned skin, ran toward me and fell to the floor.
“Save me! Please! I won’t tell anyone what happened here!!”
[I see.]
“A hot guy.”
Celica, who had cut down two men, licked her lips with her tongue and pointed to the man kneeling beneath her.
“I think that guy is the leader. I know. This is a group that attacked and killed the group that was resting on the coast in this area.”
[They deserve to die.]
“I won’t do that again! Please! Please spare my life!!”
[Celica.]
I stepped on the back of the guy lying on the floor.
[Do I really have to cut it?]
“If you’re going to kill me, I’ll cut you down.”
[No no. What I mean is, is there a need to cut your body until it bleeds?]
Powok.
I gave that guy a big kick in the ass.
The guy fell forward in the direction I had walked from, and immediately hit his face on the floor.
Shoot.
A wave came in, passed by his face, and swept it away.
He quickly got up to raise his head again, but I kicked him in the back.
[Let’s cut here without spilling blood.]
“Hmm…”
[Oh yeah. If you want to cut, cut it. But they really rape and kill people, right?]
“Of course. “I bet my virginity on it.”
[…
I don’t have a virgin.
[Ah.]
As Celica continued to stick to the concept, I realized the true meaning of what she said.
It’s not about me.
This is a story told to that man, the rapist.
“Save me! I did something really wrong, but that doesn’t mean you should kill me like this! That’s right!!”
“The women who were harmed by you weren’t supposed to die like that.”
“That’s it!! Those women were trying to hit us in the back first! Don’t be fooled! Those bitches are bitches!!!”
“Are you saying that the woman who survived among those women came to the adventurer’s guild and cried, and what she reported was a lie?”
“That’s right! Are you telling me that you cheated while I was making juice?! We were just having a private drink in the labyrinth and suggesting that we have sex if we wanted to have sex!!”
There is no evidence in the infinite labyrinth.
Unless you carry the video magic stone like a black box and bring it safely out of the infinite labyrinth, no one knows what will happen.
Several men murdered women.
Women tie up men and steal their equipment.
After a bloody fight in which they killed each other, those who survived stole the bodies.
What protects people in this cursed lawless zone is neither law nor power, but only ‘power’.
“Please! Mr. Armor! Trust me! I’m really wrong!!”
“A sexy guy. That’s a lie. Even if what he said was true, he should be killed just for flirting with me and Laura.”
[Hmm.]
I turned her head to Laura.
[What is the leader’s opinion?]
“Well, normally I would have worried and agonized… “
Laura shook her head resolutely.
“Even if you look at it a second time, it’s trash with no room for rehabilitation. I’m sorry. I hope that when I’m reborn, I’ll be more helpful to people.”
[That’s right. Serica.]
“Huh.”
Celica delivered a slash from the spot with her light smile.
Suddenly.
As blood splattered from the man’s shoulder to his abdomen, a huge anglerfish behind him opened its teeth and bit the man.
“Ugh, wow!!!”
The man was instantly sucked into the seawater.
Is it an illusion or not? Is it an illusion that the mermaid faces that the anglerfish over there are showing their fierce smiles?
It’s probably not an illusion.
If my prediction is correct, those anglerfish…
“Naughty man. Mermaid, should we look for it at another point? Or should we just return?”
Laura asked carefully, holding my wrist.
Since it wasn’t a very nice sight, leaving quickly was the right answer, and this wasn’t the point where we got what we wanted.
[Change location. Instead, let’s finish this.]
I grabbed the legs of the men Celica cut.
“Ugh, ugh!!”
The guy who was pretending to be dead and slowly crawling started screaming and resisting.
“Let go, let go of this!!”
[Okay, let me go.]
I grabbed his leg, swung him full swing, and threw him into the sea water.
Plop.
“Aaaaah!!”
The angler sharks rushed at the man.
When the lantern’s face sticking out of the water was placed under the man’s chin, the man opened his eyes and gradually began to sink downward.
[Karma.]
“…Karma.”
As if her excitement had subsided, Celica bit her lip as she looked at the men being eaten one by one with a somewhat sour face.
“If one day I become like that, I will think of it as today’s karma.”
[You killed those who tried to kill you?]
“But it’s still the same as killing someone.”
Although it is a somewhat naive statement, it is not wrong.
[Do not worry. Serica. There is a way to clear all karma.]
I lightly tapped Celica on the shoulder.
[You can give birth as much as you kill.]
“…Yes?”
[People who think you have karma so far. As much as you kill them, just give birth to new ones. If you take one life, if you give birth to one life, isn’t it plus or minus zero?]
“…”
Celica looked at me with her eyes as if she was shocked for a moment.
“That’s an interesting perspective again.”
And then.
“…Then will you help me clear my karma?”
[Of course.]
I pointed to the ceiling.
“It is the duty of a Permaton to have children.”
* * *
After searching several points.
I returned to the countess with Laura and Serica.
It’s nothing.
The mermaid was not found.
The only thing they found was anglerfish sharks, and later on, Celica was no longer satisfied with cutting off the anglerfish’s lanterns, so she killed and killed so many of them that she got sick of them.
Search failed.
The first attempt ended in failure.
Unfortunately, the information about finding a mermaid turned out to be the lantern of an anglerfish shark, but I will continue my search for the mermaid.
Aren’t you chasing a fantasy being?
No.
Mermaids exist.
Because I actually saw Mermaid.
‘In the game.’
In-game.
One of the demons that appears in this coastal area, they appear in the form of ‘Sirens’ and attack the player.
This is a world where succubi also exist.
There’s no way a mermaid doesn’t exist.
And one more thing.
Among the gacha pickup characters, like Astarote, there is a character who is cursed with ‘mermaidization’.
It’s not my taste, it’s not my style, and above all, the performance is bad, so I can’t say it’s very helpful.
Thanks to her, I can fully guess the existence of demons in the sea that look like humans.
‘If you just find where it appears, you can definitely clear the way.’
If it is a place where mermaids and sirens appear, rather than a place where anglerfish appear, this can be resolved through conversation.
You can create a beach through reasonable negotiations with them and have them manage the beach.
There is a way.
To carry out the method, we need some equipment, and we are currently building the equipment.
“Hey, Lord So.”
Nero brought me some warmed milk tea and handed it to me.
“May I ask permission to ask what kind of work you do?”
“Of course. You can just ask. You are my exclusive maid.”
After Amy, who was originally like my maid, was promoted to become Zenith’s maid, Nero became my maid.
According to my instructions her, I instructed the maid not to clean the sex room, but to take full charge of the ‘business’of my small lord, and she supports me in almost all aspects other than sex.
They are doing it on purpose.
I know better than anyone else that Nero doesn’t like sex very much, or more specifically, he doesn’t like lewd things.
“But the business I’m planning right now may be a little bit sexy, is that okay?”
“Yes. I’m slowly starting to build up a tolerance for dirty things.”
“…I guess I should say it’s fortunate. Okay. I’ll teach you.”
I pointed to the bitch collar placed next to the plan.
“I plan to make this into a capture tool.”
“Capture tool…?”
“Yes. The moment you wear it somewhere, whether on your arm or foot, it becomes a bracelet or anklet, and turns into a magical band that will instantly make the person climax and faint.”
Click.
When I pressed the button, the connection part of the bitch’s collar was released and it looked like handcuffs.
“If this fills up, you won’t be able to move. Yes, if I had to give it a name…”
Tool for capturing mermaids.
No, more precisely, a tool for capturing ‘adventurers’.
“Gotcha ring.”
By capturing all the gacha characters, I will become a heroine master.
