-From the Harpy’s Nest-
(There’s something outside.)
(What were the lookouts doing?)
Harpies may be monsters, but have high intelligence, and are good at acting in groups and in techniques to protect themselves.
The harpies that were at the entrance of the nest soon noticed the abnormality and looked outside…to be shocked.
A light that’s strong enough to think that morning had come, and the moment they noticed that it was a spell that was aiming to attack their nest, they were swallowed.
The nest crumbled tragically.
Burned by magic, their comrades were being crushed by the falling ceiling.
But there were some who managed to escape and fly away.
As long as they manage to escape into the air, there’s no one who can attack them!
((((EH?!))))
The flock of harpies that were flying in the air were suddenly swallowed by water.
Harpies are bad at swimming.
They don’t swim normally after all.
((((What is going on?!))))
They continued to fall without being able to make calm decisions.
And the harpies were slammed into the underground lake.
◇◇
-Sasaki Aya POV-
“Sasaki-sama!” (Nina)
“Yeah, Takatsuki-kun and Lucy-san have succeeded!” (Aya)
We were hiding at the back of the waterfall, but the ceiling was crumbling with a thunderous sound, so we jumped outside.
The hated harpies were raining down together with the ruins of what was once the nest of the harpies.
Drowning in a massive amount of water.
“Lucy-sama’s [Multi-Elemental Magic: Shooting Star Meteors] and Takatsuki-sama’s [Superior Rank Magic: Water Dragon]; what a scary combo.” (Nina)
“The underground lake has the Sea Serpent and the King Crocodile. They should definitely think of the harpies as food.” (Aya)
“They are being attacked already.” (Nina)
The splashing sounds of harpies trying to run away were being made, but it looks like the water monsters had the advantage.
“Take that!” “Hoi!”
At times, Nina-san and I would slam the harpies trying to escape back into the water.
The harpies were being dragged underwater among screams.
This is for my family!
Like I will let a single one of you escape!
“Haah…Haah…is there no one else?” (Nina)
“Next is to find where the Queen is…” (Aya)
I try to search for her, but I can’t find her.
Did she escape?
“Ooi, Sa-san, Nina-san.” (Makoto)
After a while, Takatsuki-kun and Lucy-san floated down towards us.
In his hand there was a small umbrella-like item.
It is apparently called Fall Umbrella.
It is a magic tool that when opened, even if you were to fall from a high place, you fall down slowly.
Fujiwara-kun has some useful items.
“How is it? Was the Harpy Queen defeated?” (Makoto)
“Not yet. I don’t know if she was within the ones who fell.” (Aya)
“Makoto, what about your Detection?” (Lucy)
“There’s so many that it is impossible to pinpoint.” (Makoto)
Where is it?
Where is the boss of the enemy?
The noisy dungeon slowly went down in volume.
It looks like most of the harpies have been defeated.
“It was anti-climatic. Let’s celebrate once we get back.” (Lucy)
“Oi, Lucy, saying that is a flag, you know?” (Makoto)
“Lucy-sama, you must not lower your guard.” (Nina)
Lucy-san was already in victory mode, and Takatsuki-kun and Nina-san rebuke her.
I was also a bit drunk in the victory.
The harpies that I was unable to put a hand on no matter how much I tried, we managed to make short work of them!
At that moment, we heard singing.
A low singing that would be easy to miss.
What is this? It is kind of a pleasant song…
It doesn’t fit a dungeon.
“Hm? Don’t you hear something?” (Aya)
“What is it…? I certainly do hear something.” (Nina)
“Me too…” (Lucy)
We look around.
“Here she comes.” (Aya)
And then, she appeared.
We all turn at the same time.
Beautiful face and dazzling light brown wings.
The Harpy Queen was there.
The Harpy Queen was singing while speaking.
What a skillful monster.
“Could it be a siren song?!” (Nina)
Nina-san shouts flustered.
“Eh? Is she not the Harpy Queen?” (Lucy)
“She must have evolved and obtained the abilities of a siren! Her voice can charm men. Takatsuki-sama, you must not listen to her song!” (Nina)
Takatsuki-kun was looking at the Harpy Queen with a slightly surprised expression.
It doesn’t matter!
I will kill her because she gets us!
Thinking this, I tried to approach her, but…
“Is it okay for the male mage to die?”
The Harpy Queen grins.
“Male mage, put your dagger on your own neck!”
Takatsuki-kun followed those orders and brought the dagger to his own neck.
“Shoot!”, Nina-san shouts.
“M-Makoto”, Lucy-san was holding her staff with both hands and going ‘awawa’.
“Fufu, my voice works especially well with male humans. You were out of luck the moment you had a male companion.”
“The singing of sirens can charm men. The human that attacked your family must have been controlled by her too.” (Nina)
Nina-san says this in anguish.
So that’s how it was…
“I was wondering who it was. So it was the lamia girl that I thought I killed at that time… So you were alive.”
She glared at me with hatred.
I also glare back at her with killing intent.
“Your whole family has died. Serves you right.” (Aya)
“Harpies can come back as many times as we want as long as I -the Queen- am alive. Too bad for you.”
She says this as if mocking me.
Damn it! That’s true.
Us lamias are already done for because Mother-sama was killed.
“You must not move. The human man there, slowly come to me. If your female companions attack me, cut your own throat.”
Takatsuki-kun nodded lightly as if obeying her words.
“N-No way…”, Lucy-san raises her voice.
“…”, Nina-san was looking for a chance and couldn’t move.
(What should we do…?) (Aya)
With Takatsuki-kun as a hostage, we can’t move carelessly.
I look at the Harpy Queen and then at Takatsuki-kun, and then…
I noticed.
(Takatsuki-kun?) (Aya)
He is supposed to have been charmed by the Siren Song, and yet…he was looking intently at me.
His eyes were clear, and it doesn’t look like he is charmed at all.
(He is not being controlled?) (Aya)
Takatsuki-kun slowly approaches the Harpy Queen while looking here.
It was as if his eyes were trying to tell me something.
(Alright.) (Aya)
I gather strength into my right hand.
The so called [Action Game Player: Charged Attack] Skill that I did unconsciously before.
Of course, even if I were to attack right now, it wouldn’t work.
“The women, stay here. You are lucky. If my children were here, I would have turned you into their meal. I will be taking the male human.”
I trust in Takatsuki-kun and continue gathering strength.
It is okay, I am sure.
“Human men are truly stupid. They apparently see me as a Goddess when they hear my voice. There’s some that even go down to their knees the moment we meet.”
Her face as if she won is pissing me off.
“Here, want to lick my feet or something? It is the feet of a Goddess, you know.”
Maybe she is letting it get to her head, the Harpy Queen pushes her feet out to Takatsuki-kun.
She is extremely annoying, but she does have enough beauty to charm men.
“M-Making Makoto lick your feet…I am jealou—how horrible!” (Lucy)
“Uhm, Lucy-sama?” (Nina)
Nina-san retorts.
Let’s question that statement of Lucy-san later.
Takatsuki-kun slowly bends to let his face get closer to the leg of the Harpy Queen, and…
“There’s no way these damn dirty feet are the feet of a Goddess.” (Makoto)
“Eh?”
The ankle of the Harpy Queen was cut off!
“Gyaaaaaa!!”
The Harpy Queen raised a scream, and her eyes had things like icicles pierced in them.
Did he use magic at the same time he cut her with his dagger?
At what moment did he activate it?!
“Sa-san! Now!” (Makoto)
Takatsuki-kun shouts.
Right, this is my only chance.
I use Dash and close the distance in an instant.
So to not lose that momentum, I smashed my right fist that had been Charged into the enemy’s body.
“Gahah!”
A big hole opened at the stomach of the Harpy Queen.
My fist pierced her body.
“D-Damn it…you bastard!”
It is ridiculous, but it seems she is still alive.
The claws of the Harpy Queen try to cut me.
*Swish*
Takatsuki-kun’s dagger cuts off the head of the Harpy Queen.
Her head falls dully onto the ground.
Isn’t the sharpness of that dagger way too incredible?
“T-Thank you, Takatsuki-kun.” (Aya)
“You have avenged them, Sa-san.” (Makoto)
The tension that was straining inside me diffused, and I fell right onto Takatsuki-kun powerlessly.
(Ah, I am dirty from the blood.) (Aya)
Without worrying about me who was trying to separate from him, Takatsuki-kun caught me, and hugged me.
“Good work.” (Makoto)
“…Yes.” (Aya)
(I have avenged you, Mother-sama, older sisters, my siblings…) (Aya)
I place my head on Takatsuki-kun’s shoulder and close my eyes.
Previous Chapter l Next Chapter
Yep, figured that his calm mind would cancel out the siren song. That’s unexpectedly a handy skill if it cancels out all mental attacks.
I really like that the protag is given super powers, but it doesn’t actually feel forced or undeserved Mary Sue shit. He’s actually really clever about using them and does his best to put work into realizing his talents instead of just coasting. That and his allies are a big reason he’s even this successful now.
Once again Calm mind is super useful maybe all of the previous users were trash because the church made it seem like it was a trash skill.
Also did the harpy have bird feet or human feet… asking for a friend…
….Lucy lost some points with that ‘kiss my feet’ statement….
Yeahhhh . . . priorities girl.
This will be another “i can kill her because she is monster but i can’t kill her because she is human”.
How racist.
I was thinking this from sometime ago, the Serene Mind of Makoto isn’t normal right? To be able of resist a charm level Goddess have to be a super cheat level skill in his own no? Because no even the Appraisal of Fuji-yan is divine level.
Time to eat her heart!
Now BEHOLD the legendary THOT slayer
Lucy the Lewd Elf would like you to lick her feet…..do you accept?
Yes?
No ?
(Y/N?)___
Times up! Lucy has been tackled and taken to a private room by Aya for “interrogation”
AWW WHAT? I thought it was strangely quiet lately. Why did I stop receiving notifications?! I’VE MISSED SO MUCH. ;A;
The finale, even. That was actually…anti-climatic. I usually give Lucy trouble for setting flags, but she’s correct this time (plus she was a major contributor). Just gonna splendidly ignore that feet comment from her…
Of course charming doesn’t work on Takki. He always has a clear mind. I kinda feel like he stole Sa-san’s coup de grace, but oh well.
In his hand there was a small umbrella-like item.
It is apparently called Fall Umbrella.
It is a magic tool that when opened, even if you were to fall from a high place, you fall down slowly.
Makoto:”I am Mary Poppins y’all!”
That definitely feels like an otherworlder’s idea.
Oi Lucy!
Aim for a cuddle & a peck on the cheek before going for domination play!
Lol
Thanks for the charter!!!
i see the illustration cover changed in NU, anyone can gimme link to cover pics..
aya give one of those charged attack to lucy XD
i see the illustration cover changed in NU, anyone can gimme link to cover pics..
Yup Lucy is 100% a lewd elf no way arround it
Thanks for the chapter! ^^
Well, she played the worst card ever against Makoto here.
Will the past flags in this two chapters make something happened? x)
thanks for translating another wonderfull chapter…..-“M-Making Makoto lick your feet…I am jealou—how horrible!” (Lucy)- …..Lucy thats dangerous girl, don’t go that way, well at least not yet!!!!!
Lucy going on a strange direction eh? She wants her feet to be licked too. Anyway yaay~ affection raised by 50pts. Good luck for acquiring more points Makoto!
@sads07 did you follow zoro here?
Saw that one coming, now on a more interesting note Lucy is in for a discussion soon I think
Well that was faster than I expected. I thought there’d be more of a challenge. The harpy queen probably wouldn’t even qualify as a mini-boss.
Lucy showed a bit of her S side since she said she was jealous that Makoto was going to lick the harpy queen’s feet.
So the harpy queen could charm males with her voice and that’s apparently how she got the help from that human mage. I thought it’d be some bigger conspiracy like the mage was evil and wanted the harpies to help him with something in exchange for his help in their own issue but nope apparently he was just some random charmed mage and probably got killed afterwards.
So what happened to the elder sister lamia? Logically she should have been killed since the harpies just wanted to exterminate the lamias and leaving one alive would defeat that purpose but at the same time, if she is still alive then Sa-san can go pursue her to complete her revenge.
Winner winner chicken dinner, Aya. Especially since gaining skills by eating powerful foes is apparently a Lamia thing.
Rookie mistake, chicken queen. Never have people of unknown charmed status approach you.
RIP unnamed ice mage guy, probably.
It appears the instincts of Lucy’s domonic half have awoken.
素晴らしい Megumin gif, Reigokai. <3
Exactly what I was thinking. Eath her heart Aya, as she did with your mother.
Cheers for the chapter, and all your hard work!
That should be a boatload of Xp for the whole team…
Thanks for the chapter!
“M-Making Makoto lick your feet…I am jealou—how horrible!” (Lucy)
Man, lucy have some werid tastes…
not that I mind.
Thnx for the chapter!
Makoto… Lucy want you to lick her feet…
Thanks for the chapter!!😉
Where’s the dragon? I was expecting that a dragon will be killed by one of them.
The Harem was already in the bag, but after this event it is even more consolidated. Bruh
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter.
Hmph! Puleeze. An actual for real Goddess couldn’t charm this guy. What chance did this Chicken Head have. Now that that’s done, I wonder what complications will occur. We still have dragons after all.
Thanks for the chapter…
Now on to the sister, that was short and quick. #1 Waifu is on the rise.
Those girls forgot Makoto has the skill
What!? No cliff?
I am horribly disappointed.
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks for the chapter as always 😁. Now I know what her evolution skill is for. She will at a certain level have a diverging path style rank up choice. Either a demi-human type existence, a lamia queen or possibly something akin to a medusa.
Thanks for the Chapter! Good job Calm mind and RPG Player~ Those guys were the real MVP in that fight~ Also what happened to the eldest sister that betrayed them? Did she get killed by the harpies already or is she alive somewhere? Also surprised Makoto didn’t once again use his magic to stop the blood from gushing out, or was it that his mana was low due to the dragon? Probably low, oh well~
so whats happen to older Lamia sisters? did the Harpies kill her when she opens the cave or after Harpies kill all the Lamia and kill her last?
Likely killed soon after opening the door or after Sa-chan died. I doubt the queen would want to leave any lamia alive.
Thanks for the chapter
Geeeeeeeet dunked on!
Calm Mind too OP.
Thanks~~
Famous guy are different
Well done, Aya. 😁
Thank u always for ur great work…
^^…
Oh my! What a chapter, thank you very much Reigokai. You are a gentleman and a scholar indeed.
I am curious just how Fuji-yan happens to have that item!
As for Lucy, dear oh dear! Nina-san Aya-san please have some words with Lucy.
Fuji-yan owns an airship so buying a surrogate item to a parachute seems logical. So Mary Poppins though.😖
This extermination went by really fast, a genocide in two chapters. I wonder what happened to the elder sister lamia in the end.
Chomp, chomp, chomp would be my guess.
Are you sure he didn’t invent it? That seems like the sort of thing an earthling would make with the full knowledge of what Mary Poppins and umbrellas are.
Thanks for the chapter!
Yay 1st
