‘’Ah’’

Tsukiyomi voices faintly resonate inside the room as she voices her sudden surprise and for yet another time you have to resist the urge of looking at her while mulling over the situation.

Yuria may or may not be the Demon Lord, or even one of her agents, you have no idea of the Succubus queen capabilities, as such your imagination is the limit and even if you convince yourself of the Jurougumo innocence all of your reasons are simply conjectures born out of optimism ; you didn’t had the chance to get to know the spider lady as much as you’d like but the two of you already have a friendly rivalry, it’d be… sad to see it all go, wouldn’t it?

Thinking of all of this made you completely forget Tsukiyomi and your more surprised than you should when she start speaking, her voice low and measured inside the shrine.

‘’Xihe… is gone’’

Such vulnerability… your heart squeeze in empathy and frustration, your lover is right beside you but you can’t even reach to her.

‘’I’m fine now, you are free to gaze at me if you wish.’’

You certainly do.

Sitting atop the small pedestal out of the pond, the vision of the sleeping water dragon strike the same amount of awe as last time; the long serpentine body of the peacefully sleeping woman remind you all too well of her monstrous nature, as do the large, deformed hands lying beside her, the claw look brutish but no doubt she was once dexterous.

The Tenko is sitting beside her, her large set of 8 tails stand around her body and profiles like a large crown as accustomed, her body is garbed in a large, entirely black robe denied of decorations and it’s as drenched as you own clothes but unlike your travel and battle ready gear, Tsukiyomi clothes stick very nicely to her body but not quite enough to truly satisfy you, not that you linger on her body for very long, instead you make sure to gaze at her softly, her own eyes being the same, burnt and tired gold you’re accustomed to.

The silence between the two of you stretches, but tenderness fills the old queen-mother despite her best attempt at staying royal, she break the stare to look down seemingly too fatigued to keep her lookout, looking as vulnerable as that night after the pleasant drinking was done.

‘’Do you wish to visit Yuria now?’’

She ask, cutting to the point and ruining the atmosphere.

‘’I wouldn’t fault you for going alone, just… inform me now and I will retreat to my quarters for the night, although you shouldn’t stay up too late’’

A spiritless admonishing, Tsukiyomi was nowhere near as intimidating and impregnable as usual, tonight likely drained her already spent reserves…

Here's the summary everyone. The opening pic is bad form INH. But fear not anons, I have a plan to solve this and force this GM to cough up his info.

Get this, Try and consume Yuria. Bitchtits probably sees it coming and she'll puss out, same with one of her agents. Unleashed beast/dying isn't in her interests. Also, Yuria isn't a corruption based lifeform like Tsu. If she's innocent then next to nothing will happen. It'll answer all our questions, or fuck us hard. Either way, I say we bank it on the beast.

Ok then. Hope the others get on soon, want to see what they think of my little plan. After all, why have the beast, if it is not to be used?

There's also the fact that the Demon Lord's minions just want a hubby for rape time, they ain't down with blatant self-sacrifice and getting eaten by our little pet is a pretty bad way to go, just ask that succubus we ashed in the beginning. Had to hurt like a bitch!

It’s easy to find the many nicks in her armor, Tsukiyomi isn’t standing as tall and proud as she usually does, in fact her stance is swaying very slightly and she rubbed the bridge of her nose more than a few time during your silence, her guard is down or she doesn’t feel the need to raise it around you and, even with this dire situation, you can’t help but feel your heartbeat quicken in gratitude.

Despite it all, Tsukiyomi is opening up to you amazingly fast.

"I'll leave that up to you.’’

She only stares back with a hard, impenetrable gaze.

‘’If you feel up to it, I can escort you to Yuria. Otherwise, I shall go do what's needed to be done."

A long, awkward pause after you speech, you massages your shoulders alternatively to get rid of your fatigue and decide to stop looking at Tsu, she may be tired and ready to pass out but the burnt gold of her iris contain all the implacable pragmatism you need to know.

‘’I will have to act according to my knowledge, if we were to go together, then it will be for the objective of killing her’’

Even if it means playing right into the hands of her rival?

Tsukiyomi seem very eager to kill off the spider, then again you have to thank her for the fact she’s giving you a choice.

‘’I don’t know what will happen if you go alone, but at least I know I can protect you if you we were together’’

That also means putting yet another weight on her shoulders, if she were to…

Actually there’s no way she can stand up to the Whore of whores in her state, she’s trying her best to appear as strong as she should be, but you’ve seen enough to know that she’s utterly exhausted.

Would her pride allow her to back down however?

‘’…I’ll accompany you if you wish to carry out the assassination.’’

There’s your answer.
>>
>>22702101
Go alone. Think we've burdened Tsu with enough. No need to get her involved in killing Yuria.

‘’I think you need to rest’’

You cross your arm and smile mischievously as you look at her, prompting confusion as she frown and stare at you dumbfounded.

After all, you’ve just refused the wish of a queen-mother but since you are her lover that brings you more than a few privileges.

‘’But…’’

‘’No’’

You shake your head for emphasis and Tsu fall silent, only the sound of splashing water as interruption, the fluffy monster seem completely unable to put up any kind of fight, all but reinforcing your impression that a good night of sleep would really help her out, your time spent in the swamp is nothing in comparison to her own exhaustion.

‘’I have… to see it through…’’

‘’No, you don’t. If you need to hate me to alleviate your burden, then do so, but it isn’t your duty as ruler to witness her demise, that’s your maternal feelings influencing your decision’’

Your words sneaks right through her armor and stab somewhere very sensible, Tsu mask her eyes with hand and doesn’t hide her painful, enraged grimace as she’s victim of a very few hiccup.

And you simply stand and look with a heavy heart, if you were to walk to her, embrace and soothe, whisper sweet nothing into her fluffy ears… your motivation is likely to crumble.

‘’Go’’

You’d expect anyone else to speak with a broken tone, but Tsukiyomi isn’t a normal woman, even if she’s obviously assailed by strong emotions she orders you onward.

The guilt you feel as you climb up the ladder… Athena, Sylphis and Hadraniel silently support you with positivity.

‘’Took your sweet time’’

Outside, the storm rage.

The small group that was present when you went to see the queen-mother is absent; instead Mylen is waiting, holding your swords and the belt in her hands, for a moment you look around to try and stop the sneaking golem but her absence leave you wanting.

‘’She’s off to get recharged’’

Slowly, your bodyguard walks to you without any hint of weakness in her step, you don’t know how to describe her inner strength; even exhausted and sleep deprived she look ready to take on a platoon.

‘’You’ve got something to do, don’t you?’’

Smiling, she read you like an open book.

‘’You won’t slip through my fingers tonight’’

Said in her characteristic bored tone, she hands you your gears.

"Although it will be slightly different than before, it seems I cannot fully escape the role of the butcher. There is work to be done, Mylen. Will you stay by my side again through it?"

>>22702957
"Ah, but the night is not yet over, and I may slip through your fingers as smoke, my ever-grasping companion. But please, accompany me."

I agree with the plan here >>22701458
There is some merit in seeing if the Beast reacts to the presence of Corruption in Yuria.
Though if the glamour is as good as Tsu thinks it is, we might need to disrupt it somehow.

"Although it will be slightly different than before, it seems I cannot fully escape the role of the butcher.’’

How can someone like you truly stand shoulder to shoulders with these peoples? This self-hatred sting deep and hard and you can’t even face Mylen whose leathery wings flap briefly, but enough to buffet you with winds, her face stay as interdict and neutral as ever but she took a few steps closers and roughly handed you your weapon, making sure to punch you in the torso.

‘’Stop that’’

A horse, angry voice very much unlike the calm, controlled tone you’re used to.

‘’When me and your mother found you after you got kidnapped, you made me promise something’’

Another hole in your memory, you can only look at Mylen in confusion as you slowly attach your belt and put the holy sword at your side, she let out a brief sigh and the twitch in her wings betray her exasperation, or unease.
‘’I’m going to gut you if you were to ever fall back to that persona, so don’t go saying you can’t «escape». The Butcher is dead and buried, you’ve simply got a job to do and there’s no need for philosophy, you’ve got to do it’’

She’s… really bad at comforting people but the way she’s staring at you now with anger, frustration and concern satisfy you, and the message, at least, sank.

You’ve got to stop falling back to the ‘’Butcher’’ to justify what’s need to be done.

‘’I see… Will you stay by my side for tonight?’’

The Half-Succubus smile as her wings flaps in what you can only guess as anticipation, her right hand is holding her magical shield and you see that she’s equipped with a sword instead of the usual spear, which make sense, a blade is much more efficient in enclosed space.

Which mean she already deducted your course of action.

‘’It isn’t time for me to relinquish my duties quite yet, little boy’’

Pfft, boy.

There wasn’t much grounds to cover to get back into the castle but walking in the typhoon was a much bigger pain than earlier, thankfully your bodyguard wings shielded you from the worse and more than once you crossed paths with a few of these Shining Knight, but overall activity inside the castle was reduced dramatically and everyone else had likely gone back to sleep, one of the servants actually informed you that the queen literally feel asleep on her chair while reading some reports.

You felt dread, anticipation and enough stress to feel like vomiting before standing right outside the infirmary guarded by a duo of grim looking lizard woman knights who, upon seeing you, nodded.

Should you dismiss them? Or will you simply enter?
>>
>>22703723
Simply enter.
Now would not be a good time to assassinate Yuria anyway. Too obvious, what with the guards who just saw us enter the room.

We're going to see if we can get a Corruption response from the Beast, and if we can find some way of seeing if there is a glamour or not.

If we do not do anything tonight, we'll find them and tell them to stand guard again.

I thought that we were only going to question Yuria and check her for Corruption with the Beast.
If it does turn out to be either the Demon Lord or one of her agents, wouldn't it be better to have more witnesses that can attest to Yuria not being Yuria?

And if we DO do something tonight, the suspicion would come down on us for telling the guards to leave right before Yuria is killed.
>>
>>22703887
I agree. Dismiss them. Assume we'll have to assassinate her.

>>22703712
This reminds me - I think we should add Mylen to our soul link.

If I remember correctly, holy is something of a poison to monstergirls as well. I don't think I want them around to hear her scream or listen in when we question her to see if shes evil.

By sending them away we just give the impression that it might just be above their pay grade and not that shes under suspicion.

Besides, for witnesses to attest to should she not be who she is, I think the weight of Siggy and Mylen's words should be sufficient.

‘’You two, dismissed’’

A brief pause, the two knight look at your without any emotion betraying they’re mask, you aren’t a man of authority in this realm but, it seems Ame talked to the right people because the two girls relent, bowing to you and Mylen before going on their merry way, already talking of a warm bed.

‘’Phew’’

You feel almost nauseas as stress ravage your guts, but cold sweat and trembling are absent; this kind of thing isn’t something new, even if you get used to it, emotions are always hard to control.

You open the door and walk in the infirmary turned detention room.

--

White beds, white sheet, a single large desk laid bare, free of tools and sheet, two lamps are posed on the left and right wall, more than enough to illuminate the room in the faint, white alchemical light and, finally in the middle of the room, laying on the big bed specifically made for large monster is Yuria who is simply sitting, combing her long dark hair in silence.

There is something odd however; the room seems to have some kind of strange perfume, rose’s maybe?

‘’Good evening… or morning, Siegfried, Mylen’’

Even if she already saw your winged bodyguard, Yuria still extend her greeting and you soften your glare and make sure to not caress the pommel of your sword while Mylen walk slightly apart from you, enough for her wings to be unreachable.

‘’What business do you have with me?’’

Her voice is dripping with sarcasm, the way she is right now, the spider half almost seem ready to jump and pounce but she also seem completely resigned, her tone lack vigor and energy.

You don’t feel any corruption, but that was also the case when you entered early tonight.

And Yuria probably suspects why we're here.

"That you are not surprised, I think you already have an idea as to why, Yuria.

I need to hear from you yourself, what happened last night. Why were you and Bletsia there and how she got kidnapped."

"Just some questions I need answered, Yuyu."

You hear a faint chuckle, before she would really overreact to that little nickname but it seems that now, care has completely vanished.

Mylen stay silent, but her presence is comforting nonetheless and she’s keeping an amazing poker face, right now she’s simply bored and uncaring like she always appears.

‘’Shoot’’

Finishing with her hair, the Jurougumo but the object beside her and start massaging some of her legs, showing you her amazing upper body flexibility, the white and yellow carapaces is really a sight to behold and, taking a breath of this perfume, you step away from the door to speak clearly.

You ask the obvious questions, and Yuria answer with neutrality, gone is the sarcasm, contempt and fatigue, instead she put on a mask worthy of Tsukiyomi as she related the events.

‘’I can’t answer you how Bletsia was kidnapped, the reason being that… I opened the door to the water shrine with the needed ritual, my guard was down because I didn’t think I’d need to have it up and someone sneaked up on me, grabbed me and with magic, forcefully made me swallow this… sleeping medicine? I was barely finished with my own ritual when they struck, making it appear that there was only one mage, it really was magnificent timing…’’

When you look at Mylen, she nod at you, proving that it was the same story she heard and, letting out a brief discouraged sigh, Yuria speak again.

‘’I was found around… 30 minutes later in the storm, probably lifted, dropped and hidden near the overgrown bushes of the temple and I guess, you know the rest’’

You rub your torso as you gulp in more of this perfume, her story is rather… weak, if she was the instigator there is more than enough chances to act.

Man fuck my internet, craps out right as this thread was starting!

So she's utterly defenseless then. Does she know about our little pet? If an agent of the demon lord she probably "forgot" to tell them something like Tzeentch does with his higher ups for the sake of plotting.

If she doesn't know, time to inform her like an inquisitor getting out his favorite tool on the torture block. Gotta make em' puss out if they're the enemy. It can't be a good way to go.

I think having a clear mind overrules that, so that we do not make a mistake and kill an innocent by mistake.

And on further thinking, the events can match up. Basically what she ingested wasn't a sleeping medicine but something to let another person take control of her.

We might have to go ahead with the using of holy to purge whatever is inside her.

It happens in a flash.

Focus is your second nature, your natural ability and, having nursed and trained this talent over the years, you enter in a second and immediately, Yuria jump in surprise while Mylen, who was concentrating on the spider, look at you and frown.

This perfume… it doesn’t seem like it was affecting your mind in any way, you don’t feel any trace of magic yet you can’t help this feeling, as if your sixth sense awakened to warn you, like looking at a slightly off square, and you can only translate this feeling with the expression of ‘’something isn’t right’’ and it’s incredibly frustrating that you can’t pinpoint anything.

‘’You’re going to kill me now, with magic and the whole fortress knowing?’’

Yuria doesn’t appear the least bit phased; in fact she’s glaring right at your glowing, magically infused eyes, but soon enough completely change expression into some kind of derisive smile, Mylen has already put a hand on her short sword but seem unwilling to take it out, her deeper, bloody gaze doesn’t leave the spider anymore.

You’d expect some of the other people of the fortress to embrace Focus, but… as the seconds tick, nothing happen.

And now, the two woman are waiting, the tension is more than thick and the burden on your shoulders only increase.

"No dammit, Yuyu, I don't want to kill you.

What I want now is to find out exactly what happened here tonight and how to save Bletsia and right now, the only one from whom I can get answers from is you."

I say we move closer to her and see if we can detect anything abnormal from her. Increased corruption or what not. See if the beast detects or reacts to anything.

I noticed that myself. An outside agent could pull it easily. Have a few runes inscribed about the place in little nooks and casually activate it when the time comes. Someone is playing us on a board of chess, they want us to do something. I just hope we don't do what they want.

I like this, a little banter is never a bad thing and even if we do end up killing her (hope we don't) I always remember the words of Churchill: "When you're going to kill someone it costs nothing to be polite."

"I just needed to clear my mind.’’

Renewed vigor fills your body, the power of magic is truly amazing, right now you are back at your best albeit temporarily, being in focus ignore fatigue and pain as well as augmenting reflexes and thought process, its addicting in a way but woe to anyone overusing it, you’ve certainly felt the side effect.

You just wish you could convey a joking tone, right now you sound like a judge.

"I don't remember you wearing perfume before. Is it a new fragrance?"

Yuria look down, but then close her eyes, her expression look… somehow sad, as if she’s just given up.

But then Mylen speak.

‘’What perfume?’’

You don’t have time to ask anything, there’s a shift in the spider girl attitude and next, you’re down on your knees, just like Mylen.

The air around you has changed, it cling and force your body down as if your limbs are holding three time your bodyweight, the very consistency of the world around you seems… physical, the air cling to you and moving becoming an increasingly difficult ordeal, it’s as if everything around you gained the consistency of wet concrete.
Even your spells couldn’t launch, the moment your usual pike was formed it broke and clang to the ground, same things with needles, even steam dissolves by this weight, Mylen incredible stubbornness and strength is completely overshadowed by this sudden… pressure, the two of you are reduced to crawling.

‘’The fucking door!’’

Mylen speak, enraged and you only spare a glance.

The door to the infirmary is still there… no, you notice now by following the wall with your eyes, the door… is literally painted in the wall.

Now tough, you have a spectacle to watch on the bed.

Somehow the first thing you notice is the flagrance permeating the air, sweet and gentle like the perfume of a lover, the closed space of the infirmary wrapping you in this unnatural air almost leave you serene, but before you, the scene unraveling before your very eyes almost force you to deny this reality.

A series of unnatural crackles and snapping escape from the spider girl but the sounds are so short and abrupt that your intake of breath drowns it out, no amount of training, bracing or mentality could steel you to what you are looking at right now, your honest heart stays your hand and the Beast growl as you finally recognize the perfume escaping Yuria to be Corruption yet even its appetites stay under control, no pain in your torso, no hole in your belly, calm and controlled, sparing you from pain.

As if emerging from a chrysalis, Yuria upper body is draped over by a tenebrous blanket while the lower half lies unnaturally flat on the large mattress, her numerous trembling legs sometime victim of the odd nervous twitch but only after a few seconds of watching in amazement, the dark and yellow colored chitin completely fade away, drained into gray.

Then, a leg step out of the hollow dark, no more a piece of cloth but a literal hole having swallowed her body. Perfectly human and feminine, all but crumbling any hope that Yuria could still be the one you knew, your heart quicken in anticipation and awe as the long awaited woman finally reveal herself, but dread snap you at attention.

A tall fair haired beauty stand on large mattress made especially for large monsters, but your gaze travel up and down her cascading, long set of green hair that remind you exactly of Mylen ; unnatural looking softness, no doubt that having it flow through your fingers would be just like caressing the tail of your lover, and you can’t help but observing her legs and the kimono open in the most perfect glamorous way ; allowing you to see yet hidden, cleavage and legs left visible with enough concealment to tease and leave you hungering for more.
But your logic overturn instinct, the kimono that Yuria was wearing was black with a motifs of blue rose, this individual seem to have literally changed the decorations into purple bat and now, standing in front of you, the discolored chitins at her feet dissolve into powder, leaving the bed free of oversized, dead insects legs.
‘’Hnnm…. It’s been a while’’
The entirely human looking woman stretch while voicing her satisfaction, her green eyes settling on you as her face soften into an almost motherly smile, amidst this spectacle, this entire chain of event that lead to this change of form, you didn’t feel a single ounce of magic and this corruption emanating from her is so thin, so discreet that you doubt you can taste it, it isn’t physical like it should be.
And of course, unlike you, she’s standing amidst the pressure, comfortable and able.
What powers, no wonder heroes are needed to take care of her ilk.

‘’Are you comfortable?’’

Her voice is downright beautiful

"It's hard to be comfortable on the floor."

Strangely, speaking is easy, although your exertion make your voice hoarse and of course hostile, you and Mylen glare daggers at the standing Demon Lord, who for some reason, doesn’t seem to have wings.

How odd.

‘’I’m sorry for putting you both through this, but I have to think of my own security, yes? Unless you promise to not harm me and parley like civilized people?’’

Her hand floats to one of her strand of hair near her face and roll it around her index, her emerald gaze shifting between you and Mylen, although your somber bodyguard is quick to answer.

‘’Pfeh!’’

The two women glares… no the only one glaring is Mylen, the other one is simply smiling, giving her a strangely docile, if not friendly, look.

You could even describe her as motherly.

All this time, you’ve been sending enough distress to wake up the three girls who are barely getting out of sleep addled lethargy, however Hadraniel quickly send a serious amount of frustration, quickly overshadowed by distress.

The angel is, after all, trapped in the sword.

‘’Well? Would you be willing to speak and keep this succubus under control?’’

The Demon Lord asks again, her voice friendly and jovial.

You try to call to the beast, and find yourself unable to even find it, the corruption emanating from her is so thin, so… controlled that… there isn’t anything to provoke it.

"You speak of parley and of acting in a civilised manner after attack and kidnapping a child? What hypocrisy is this!?"

You couldn’t help your anger, standing face to face with the kidnapper and being unable to do anything at all… even if she’s… so damn… beautiful, be it in the way she move, her slight mannerism as she closed her eyes and feign distress at your scream, the way she moved lasciviously yet keeping enough elegance to frustrate and leaving you wanting, lush purple lisps ready to be kissed its…

Focus, Focus.

How the hell are you even aroused through your magical concentration?
The Succubus close in, slowly, each movement deliberate and you swallow hard when she reach your level, slowly crouch to give you a perfect look at her camouflaged breast and… unbuckle your belt, taking away your sword and leaving it in its scabbard.

‘’Goddamn whore!’’

Mylen is reduced to crawling, but her fury is such that she managed to half stand, reduced on one knee, her wings seem almost ready to be ripped off her shoulders.

‘’Now now… don’t exert yourself.’’

With a snap of her finger, you finally find yourself free of your invisibles binds; however Mylen is still kept on the ground.

‘’I had no choice, for Bletsia…’’

Her tone is truly regretful and, once more, the Demon Lord starts playing with her hair, she even looks… shy.

‘’You see, she is one of the keys needed for me to realize my dream’’

Her dream? Oh you can see it alright; people fucking in the streets, giant orgy that last for weeks and the inevitable end of civilization as hedonism and excess completely shatter society.

What a dream.

Yet she’s smiling knowingly, having completely figured you out.

‘’I am quite saddened by the grief I am causing, but take heart, your lovely shan’t come to harm for she is so very important, I may finally be able to have monsters, my charges and children’s, give birth to human males or at the very least gain the needed step thank to her... talent, and do not fear for I do not need her as an incubator.’’

Slowly, the Demon Lord smile, revealing her perfect dentition.

‘’Did you expect me to simply want hedonism?’’



Inside the castle, Athena and Sylphis have started to move, but the only hint of progress is they’re fear.

I must say this is exactly how I pictured the Demon Lord. Kind, polite, seductive, almost motherly and above all the most beautiful woman you could ever imagine.

She makes you *want* to fall just with her presence. You just want to let her hold you in her arms as she whispers of the unimaginable pleasure she will grant unto you if only you stop fighting her. You just know everything will be alright as she tenderly kisses your neck and you surrender to her body and soul, the most joyous surrender you've ever made...

Yeah, I call bullshit on her not wanting hedonism. She wants the rape train, but she sees the current flaws and needs to fix them soon before everyone goes extinct.

Also, the "all in" comments? Yep, called it. Bletsia was vital so she went all in and got it. Fuck...

(Send the mental image of Amy and Tsu to Athena and Sylphis, they should understand)

Walk over to Mylen, put a hand on her shoulder, at least get her to stop struggling. She might hurt herself.

"Yet still your plan is incomplete. Else you would not linger here and treat with me. How do I figure into your schemes, Demon Lord? Else you would be speaking with Ame or Tsukiyomi. And why should I listen or heed your words?

You ask for the extinction of all human women, young and old alike and even if the cycle you ask for is sustainable, they will still be filled with corruption and be unable to control themselves.

>>22707595
A part of them would remain, but you are correct that they'd no longer be the same person. A kind of death I suppose then.

I'm sure they'd be happy, but it wouldn't be a true happiness. Like that episode of Invader Zim with the happy kid. Had a chip in his brain that made him happy all the time! Sounds great in a way, but instinctively you know that is all kinds of wrong.

You stay silent, glaring at the ungodly beauty and keeping a reign on your instinct, the best finally showed up but, instead of trying to take control and hurting you, it’s sitting, observing and content.

Simply letting its presence known, while also making sure to tell you that your arousal isn’t yours alone.

But you make sure to imagine Tsukiyomi and Ame, the two fluffy women of your life, and send the image through the link to the two girls while walking to Mylen and putting a hand on her shoulders, trying to make sure she stop struggling and, finally, the Demon Lord let go of her and instead of immediately jumping at the beauty, Mylen slowly stand and take out her blade, but doesn’t move, her bloody gaze holding the emeralds of the Lord.

"Yet still your plan is incomplete.’’

The green haired demon tilts her head and smile, holding her chin with one of her hand and your heart throb at such beauty.

‘’Else you would not linger here and treat with me. How do I figure into your schemes, Demon Lord? Else you would be speaking with Ame or Tsukiyomi. And why should I listen or heed your words?’’

She doesn’t move or even acknowledge your words when you pause, you try to identify anything about her intention, but you left wanting, your sharp instinct during dialogue is useless.

‘’You ask for the extinction of all human women, young and old alike and even if the cycle you ask for is sustainable, they will still be filled with corruption and be unable to control themselves.’’

Even if your words speak of disgust, your heart simply want to embrace this girl who allowed you to see an emotion, regret.

‘’Why should I be a party to robbing these people of their reason?"

At your question, the smile and slowly gesture toward you with an open palm.

‘’Wanton hedonism leads to extinction’’

You know that, but to hear this very phrase that you’ve chanted to yourself like a mantra coming from Demon Lord isn’t something you would have ever dreamt of.

‘’I am unsure if the disappearance of human women is the needed price to fix this…cycle’’

She stop, looking down, her barrier seems gone for a brief moment, her emeralds eyes avoid your gaze and the emotion…is exhaustion, a great, grand, unimaginable fatigue that is, for all intent and purpose, the very same weighting down on Tsukiyomi.

‘’But make no mistake, young man. My daughters are the one advocating hedonism, and in time, you may find yourself joining my side’’

She smile bitterly, somehow, this woman look lonely, incredibly lonely.

‘’What do YOU know of the world, Siegfried? Human and Monsters have warred against each other’s since the dawn of time, is this conflict, this crusade, enough to shatter what has been ingrained into our species?’’

But before you can answer, she simply interrupts by holding her palm forward

‘’But I have grown to love this land in the time I have spent here, what about you?’’

Mylen frown, not understanding the question, so do you in fact, it’s quite a strange change of subject and you can’t help this impression that the Demon Lord looks sad, so very, very sad.

>Phew, kind of want to stop here and return tomorrow, I'll see if I have enough in me to close this encounter but I doubt it.

The Demon Lord put herself into the form of Yuria and sublimated her personality so that she'd be an undetectable sleeper agent.
But the long time being Yuria instead of being the Demon Lord let her see an alternative path to Human-Monster Coexistence than her original plan.
She now wants to create a Zipang-ish world (with herself atop the Demon Throne, of course), and now finds herself opposed by her own forces who just want All Hedonism, All the Time.

According to background material, the goal was always to allow monstergirls to birth human males, making the population self-sufficient.

Allow human females to remain is new, though. A change of heart? Possible but siggy would still be wary but he wouldn;t just shut the door in the face of a coming crusade army.

Whether her daughters oppose her... still yet to be seen. Will need to ask her that.

Powerful as all fuck and has a powerhouse posse of own with the fallen maidens. Kind of like Dark Siggy. She won't go down easy, but hell she's gotta pay for that shit.

Because its not that easy, therE's only 3 remaining embodiment and they can't just waltz in the Demonic Realm, they'd also need to pinpoint the Demon Lord location.

There's also the fact that angels are extremely secretive and isolated, they are the third race living beside humans and monsters but the both of them barely interacted with them.

I'll admit I used extinctio nvery loosely, but the corrupted dwarves and elves have basically went on to become succubus/incubus.

Technically it doesn't have to be factories. Like sword and armour smiths, those could have been painstakingly built by craftsmen.

The fact is we have only had the chance to view one example. It could be that other craftsmen could have followed the same general design template but built it to their own local conditions and design specs, much like swords.
>>
>>22709836
>Magitek
No implication that it is or even could be used on a scale large enough to be the basis of a new technological level.
>For cryin' out loud they can already make mechs!
There were a lot of things we could make way before having factories that can pump out a nearly endless stream of them was a thing. Also, said "mechs" are pretty much directly operated golems (in the traditional fantasy and not the MGE sense) the construction of which we know nothing about and similarly nothing implies that they are produced in mass quantities. In fact I seem to recall that they aren't exactly common, which would imply a less efficient construction method.
>>
>>22709969

The mechs can't be mass produced and are considered the elite of the elite in term of troops

The only reason why they're employed is because they've showed very, very good results despite the extreme cost of they're construction.

But they still need good old combined arms to shine.

Yes, but that doesn't mean it can't be something more. A lot of civilian tech came out of the military, the very internet being one example.

Also, development was herded in that direction thanks to the church. They won't let the eggheads develop their plans for toasters or tape recorders because they don't see how that can be used to win a war. It can't for the most part, but damn would it make life easier for the common man. But it can't kill monstergirls, so it goes unfunded. A great idea, tossed aside because of the bureaucrat's lack of vision. Gotta be more than a few of those lying around.

>>22709925
Very much true, but once you have machines (or at least the capability to produce them), everything pretty much goes from there. I'm sure they mass produce something.

>>22710013
Of course. Tanks are awesome too, but without some infantry to back them up all the enemy has to do is sneak up and either plant a bomb on the treads or pop the top hatch and frag the crew. Mechs would face similar problems.
>>
>>22710128

Mass produciton is with food actually, alchemy allow the transformation of vegetables to good old excellent meat and thank to this pratice coming right after our lovely Succubus got to her throne, mass famine was avoided.

Also new monsters don't fuck with plantations, hell burning down your land when your killing off rour human neighbors is bound to have the church knock on your door.

The tech level is effectively late medieval, think around...1450, mass production isn't quite there, the world is in a sort of in between.

mfw approximately 1 to 1 conversion of plant to animal protein instead of the 20+ to 1 ratio.

Holy jumping jack rabbits.

Then again when you consider that most animals have become monstergirls, this is really the only way you're gonna get meat on the table.
>>
>>22710212
Fantastic, the people can have steak every week. Still, that's about the tech level people were at before the Industrial Revolution. What set it off was the discovery that steam can be used to power machines. Once people had steam engines it was off to the races.

The technological advance of mankind can be seen as a very, very slowly rising line that goes exponential around the 18th century. It's actually strange IMO, what was holding us back for so long? Why didn't people think of these things sooner?

Indeed, and there's also the fact that alchemy make revitalising the land much, much easier.

A crisis like Ireland potato famine would only really happen due to mass sabotage, also the healthiest the fruits/vegetable, the better the meat. Its really a 1 to 1 ration, alchemy isn't exactly weaponised very well, but it made people life much, much easier.

>Still, that's about the tech level people were at before the Industrial Revolution.
In this case the nutritional options of the population hardly correlate to the overall technological level because of the inclusion of lolmagic. Also, irl the heightened nutritional standards were only a part of the elevated overall welfare level that again was only one of the contributing factors that allowed for the industrial revolution.

>what was holding us back for so long? Why didn't people think of these things sooner?

And you are correct there were many contributing factors to the revolution. I simply meant that things hadn't really much changed technologically except for gunpowder. So instead of making swords the smiths made guns and we shot each other instead of stabbing and cutting. Human life has been largely the same no matter where you were up until around 300 years ago.

True in a sense, I thought the Holy WMD would function something like a chemical bomb. It goes off, monstergirls start coughing, doubling over in pain, and die horribly. Cruel fuckers.

And wouldn't ya know they're invading the Japan/China equivalent in the setting. It's Hiroshima all over again.

Fun Fact, they avoided bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki with conventional arms because they wanted a nice virgin target for the nukes. Ya know, to really see what they could do. So they were weapons tests as well.

Pacing is a problem yeah, once a week per update doesn't allow for alot of content especially with how much I keep shoveling on you guys, but I don't have the energy to do it more often.

My grammar is shit, I've accepted it

The pacing problem stems less from the 1 thread/week schedule and more from your you being hell bent on describing every waking (and most unconscious) moment of the characters which is most noticeable in the painstakingly detailed interactions. While this isn't a bad thing, especially in light of how many lines the plot seems to run on that require exposition in order for us to eventually understand what, why and how it all goes, it still leads to an overall slow progression.
It's also driving me crazy, because I get the urge to reread the whole thing for clues that I've missed.

Indeed, I tend to be good at noticing foreshadowing but I'm not perfect. I have no idea where we could have met the eldritch horror for example.

I'm the kind of writer that completely imagine most of his scene so when I write... I tend to really describe the mannerism, but I think the fact that I'm so heavy on the description made you people like the lovely bunch of cast I came up with.

It also allow me to place what hints I want with nobody the wiser

True, it does help to not just hear their words but also see the look on their face, but we all know you never give hints. Thus, paranoia.

The people better not let Siggy get geis'd or something or I'ma be mad... at them for being dumb enough to trust a fucking demon lord.
