Monster Musume Harem wo Tsukurou! Chapter 91

Monster Musume chapter 91: To Zakurion Empire

『h.e.l.lo Tsuchio, how are you?』

『So-so. When it comes to the fourth year, the cla.s.ses are difficult. But well, the lessons themselves are fun and not bothersome.』Tsuchio

『That's good to hear. I contacted you today, because I would like you to tell me when your summer vacation starts. In accordance to that, I will also take a break.』Yukurishisu

『Well, I'm going to have summer vacation from now on. But, can you take a break so suddenly? Don't you need to decide more...』Tsuchio

『It's all right, I have done all my work for this week. And it can also be advanced or postponed.』Yukurishisu

『Oh, as an empress you are really free. Instead of working nonstop.』Tsuchio

『Yes, that's right. I'm still single, but many gentlemen are courting me.』Yukurishisu

『Well, it can not be helped. You're a beautiful empress.』Tsuchio

『Ah, I'm tired of hearing such words. Every time I open my mouth, they say I have an angel-like voice... which they say only because of my looks. The face of a demon and the t.i.tle as an empress. When I was a princess, I had quite a lot of admirers, but when I became the empress, it increased at once.』Yukurishisu

『Well, that is normal. Aren't there also some people who are not so?』Tsuchio

『That's right, those are the happy b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. How long does it take from the academy to the capital?』Yukurishisu

『Roughly three or four days. I think we'll get there in the evening of the third day because we're moving fast.』Tsuchio

『Then, please come to the north gate after 6 days. I will pick you up. And from the next day, it's the sightseeing of the empire!』Yukurishisu

『I'm looking forward to it. To which place will you take us?』Tsuchio

『Huhuu, that's a secret! But, well, it's different from your kingdom.』Yukurishisu

『Culture is different in every country. So then, I have cla.s.ses tomorrow. Good night, Yukurishisu.』Tsuchio

『Yes, Good night.』Yukurishisu

This year's summer vacation is going to be a trip to the Zakurion Empire...but it looks like it's going to be a pretty interesting holiday.

As usual, time pa.s.ses quickly since today. I became a fourth year student and summer vacation is also starting. Time went by quickly because of the hard cla.s.ses every day.

I also think that Nichrome´s atmosphere has become softer than when she became my familiar. Previously, she was expressionless, but now she occasionally laughs. Nichrome herself says she is the same as before but apparently, she is very close with the others. If Nichrome acknowledges it herself, then I think she will be able to express more emotions.... Well, it cannot be changed so easily and it's better for her to change over time.

Shadow-san remains as my shadow till now. I am trying to go hunting as much as possible on holidays, but well...is she like the others? She needs to kill a powerful monster to evolve. For now, we're just fighting the devil beasts on our path.... It is a good thing that it's so peaceful, but in order to make Shadow-san evolve, she has to fight against strong monsters. Well, it is difficult.

“Tsuchio-dono, will you be going to the Cyano islands again this year?” Tris

“No, I'm going on a trip to another country where I have acquaintances this year. I'm sorry to bother you, but..." Tsuchio
“Then it cannot be helped. However, for Tsuchio having a friend in another country...that's a pleasing thing." Tris
“Sure, Tsuchio has only a few friends. As far as I can see, it's about a few students. He also has some adult acquaintances, like Sasha-sensei." Lucas

Yes, Lucas, Tris and Fall are my only student friends. Well, I think quality is more important than quant.i.ty. Besides, I don't even know anyone else. If I count with my hands, I still have a few friends.

“You said you were traveling to another country, but where are you going? Is it the elf territory, because Tsuchio seem to be interested. And your roommate is also a male elf who can be seen as a girl.” Tris
“Lucas is very girly among elves..." Tsuchio
“All male elves are neutral, but they are not so girly. So, where are you going?” Lucas
“Emm...the empire.” Tsuchio
“Oh, you were invited by Regitto-san?" Lucas
“No, not Regitto-san. Another acquaintance." Tsuchio

I don't lie, I just don't say which empire. Although it was under cease-fire, it probably isn't a place you can go so easily.

“Well, it's a cozy country for a powerful guy, so it's a good place for Tsuchio unexpectedly. Don't try to make a problem." Lucas
“Don't always say that I'm causing problems...lately, I've been quiet for a long time.” Tsuchio
“What about your disappearance for several hours in the ruins investigation? I can say that you're quite mature by raising such big troubles." Lucas
“Oh, that cannot be helped! Although the Knights investigated, the trap wasn't lifted!" Tsuchio

“Once an intruder comes in, the trap may activate. There is no point in blaming the Knights." Lucas

Well, it's a lie. To disguise where I went to. I think I'm sorry that I've disgraced my reputation with lies.

“It was an accident at the time of practical training, but now I've grown up." Tsuchio
“Then just stay calm, okay.” Lucas

Totally, treating people as troublemakers.... Well, certainly I had trouble several times in the past, but now, I feel calm.

“Well then, let's end it here. You´re preparing for departure. Tsuchio, I wish you a good vacation." Lucas
“Yes, thank you very much." Tsuchio

Well then, let's finish the preparations. There is no need to pack a luggage, but things that we can't replenish are needed. Some things aren't sold by the purchasing department, so we have to go to the town before we depart.

Six days later. After our preparations, we came to the capital. Because it is summer, the sun is high and the slope is already surrounded by the sunset. Well, I came to the north gate. Is there a time difference between this continent and the other continent? If this world is on a tortoise, there will be no time difference. Well, I will see it, when I'm at the empire. Anyway, we will be there in less than half an hour.

Yukurishisu was waiting beside the checkpoint and leaning against the wall. There is no sign to talk from seeing her from afar. And I'm glad it didn't become a commotion, because the security was bad around here.

“Yukurishisu! Sorry to keep you waiting! You didn't get into trouble?" Tsuchio
“I haven't waited so much, Tsuchio. Nothing stupid has happened near the checkpoint. Then quickly, let's transfer to the empire." Yukurishisu
“Well, it's already evening. Oh yes, is there a time difference between this continent and the empire?” Tsuchio
“There isn't and in the empire it is still evening. As soon as we arrive there, it will be time for dinner." Yukurishisu

There's no time difference...isn't this world a planet? Well, I don't know about that. Even if I know such a thing, it doesn't matter to me. If it were a planet, a meteorite might fall.

“Hey Tsuchio, let's move quickly. We can't teleport in a crowd!" Yukurishisu
“Oh, I'm sorry. We are going now!" Tsuchio

Well, how is the Zakurion empire? I want to see it!

While memorizing the floating feeling, I confirmed that I had both feet on the ground. I also look at Ruu and the others, but it seems that there is no abnormality.

“As expected, it will be tiring if you transfer this distance..." Yukurishisu
“...Emm, what is with this luxurious room, is this the room where we sleep?" Tsuchio
“Well, it certainly costs money. This is the private room of the empress, which is my room. We have already arrived at the empire." Yukurishisu

Yukurishisu´s private room...the empress room. Is it okay for us to be here? If we are found by someone who doesn't know anything, will we go to jail at once. How was this flag created?

Someone knocked on the door when I thought about such a thing. It's going to be cool. I´m not panicking, but if we hide behind the door we can't be seen.

“You can enter." Yukurishisu
“Hey, Yukurishisu!? Is it all right, we're in your private room! This is like a profane sin!” Tsuchio
“It's okay, because I told my followers that I will bring a friend. Besides, perhaps he is coming... " Yukurishisu
“Excuse me, Milady. Ah Tsuchio-san, welcome to the Zakurion Empire. The followers and I have awaited you." Wo-kun
“Ah, Wo-san. I thought it was a maid, so I looked for a place to hide." Tsuchio

“Even if you are found, I told everyone about Tsuchio-san. If you need something, please ask anything. As dinner is ready, lets eat. I will take your luggage." Wo-kun
“Ah, it is all right because the baggage is inside Shadow-san. So...I don't know how to behave correctly?” Tsuchio

I once went to a manners course, which was really easy.... The manners in this world aren't known because there was no chance to use them at all.

“It's not an official place, so you don't have to worry about that. It is enough if you have common sense behavior." Yukurishisu
“That's good to hear. Everyone, it's fine as long as you behave as usual." Tsuchio
“Un, Understood!” Rin
“At first, I read a book about politeness at the library, but… it is different from the courtesy of this country." Ruu
“You should be able to eat normally, right?" Tsuchio
“Once in the database, there were etiquettes of each country.... As Ruu says, we don't have to worry about it here." Nichrome
“That's right. Is there someone who eats with us?" Tsuchio
“Yes, my younger brother and younger sister. I already talked about Tsuchio to these two, so they don't mind, especially courtesy. In the first place, there is no way to speak about that". Yukurishisu
“A younger sister and brother. Who is older?" Tsuchio
“My brother is older, but well, there's no difference. Think of both of them as old as Tsuchio.” Yukurishisu

The younger siblings are about the same age as me...but still, their actual age is much higher than me? I guess it is about 200 years old....

“Well, as I have introduced you lightly and since we will eat together, you don't need to be so tense at that time. From tomorrow, it is only Wo-kun and me who goes sightseeing with you." Yukurishisu
“Listening to it, I feel a little easier...but when it comes to dining with royalty, I'm really nervous.... Yukurishisu does not seem to be nervous.” Tsuchio
“I'm sure it's thanks to my friendly atmosphere!” Yukurishisu
“Rather, she is just too dyed by commoners. When she had free time, she would slip out of the castle." Wo-kun
“I used to be a naughty lady...but now, I'm pretty calm.” Yukurishisu
“Rather than calming down, she just lost her free time..." Wo-kun
“That's not right! You know, if you talk more, dinner will get cold. Anyway, let's go to the dining room.” Yukurishisu
“Well then, please follow me." Wo-kun

Leaving the room, we follow Wo-san who leads the way. There is a glossy cloth on the outside corridor and the candlestick on the wall is golden. It's shiny from the light and seems really elegant.

After walking through the corridor for a while, there are several windows on the corridor wall. Looking out, I could see the city from there.

This corridor which seems to be in the upper part of the royal castle, lets you see the townscape of the capital city that spreads far down. There are walls just like the kingdom, but there is only one in the outermost of the imperial capital. However, the thickness is twice that of the kingdom. Looking outside the window a little, I see something like a sea to the left. The streets are divided by places like banquets and kitchens. It seems that the kitchens are at the border, and it seems that it is cluttered if you look closely. There are several shadows fluttering in the sky, it sure is a monster country.

“This is the royal capital. Originally, it was a big cove, but all the water was blown away by the great war. At the same time, the soil at the bottom was blown away and it became a basin, and the soil was piled up to become the origin of the wall." Wo-kun
“Hee… it's diagonally at the center. Rainy days must be tough." Tsuchio
“There are plenty of facilities available everywhere. They dug a drain and run it to the sea." Wo-kun

I wonder how they move water...is it a magical tool or maybe it is a thing like a water mill?

“I'll give you a description of the imperial capital later. Here we go." Yukurishisu

“Ah, yes.” Tsuchio

I want to see what this royal castle is like. Tomorrow is the sightseeing tour of the capital.
