v8c320.2 - Intermission 95 - The Demon Leviathan is Purified

“Hmm? When did it get dark …… has it become night?”

It seems that half a day has passed while I was wondering what to do with Lavinia, whom I sent to a non-standard human race called Alex, because I couldn’t manipulate her anymore.

Swimming in the dark sea is no fun, so I’ll sleep here for now.

As for food …… well, at this point, fish of any kind would have fled, so maybe I’ll eat some clams.

“…… There are only small clams here, it must be because I’m at the river’s mouth.  Even if I eat something like this, it doesn’t make me feel like I’ve eaten.”

Oh well. Tomorrow morning, when it gets light, I’ll go out to sea to catch some fish.

But more importantly, it’s Alex.

How dare he make me take something like that through Lavinia.

But I felt tremendous pleasure from Lavinia.

Should I just break away from the Demon Lord’s subordinates and go to Alex …… No, no, that probably won’t work.

But it seems that he has already married a dragon tribesman, so I think there will be no problem if he takes one more dragon tribesman.

“…… Huh? This mellow aroma is …… Alex’s seed!? Why, that fragrance that I have learned via Lavinia …… Uoooh!? I-, I smell it from that white thing drifting in the sea, but could it be ……! Delicious! I knew it was Alex’s seed that I had tasted via Lavinia!”

I swallowed the flowing white liquid along with the surrounding water, but …… J-Just by drinking it made my body heat up!

T- This is …… it’s overflowing with magic power!?

I see! Lavinia had drunk this man’s seed dozens of times.

This much magic power overflows from just one sip. If she drank that much of Alex’s seed, Lavinia’s little magic power would expand significantly and break out of my control.

So this is the reason why I couldn’t control Lavinia today.

“But why is Alex’s seed in the sea …… Mm!? It’s coming again! …… Mmm, delicious! Power …… Power is welling up!”

That seed also from over there …… the river!

I see, perhaps Alex and Lavinia are doing it in the lake.

Alex produces that much, after all. It must have overflowed from Lavinia’s small body and drifted here.

If that’s the case, if I wait at the river’s mouth for a while …… It’s here! This way, I’ll be able to drink a lot of Alex’s seed.

“Fufufu …… it’s delicious. Ideally, I’d like to drink it directly myself …… No, no, he’s a human, after all.”

I was conflicted about it, but the river was too small to climb and it was getting tedious, so I decided to drink all the water that came in from the river.

Sometimes some small fish or something comes into my stomach, but it should be fine.

“…… Hm? Is it my imagination, or is there some liquid mixed in other than Alex’s seed …… What is this?”

Alex’s seed tastes rich, has a mellow aroma, and increases the magic power when drunk.

But along with the seed, a clear liquid has entered me, and I somehow feel …… that my body is getting sicker when I drink it.

But I want to drink Alex’s seed. I’m also drinking an unknown liquid, but I’m just going to sleep today, so I guess I’ll be fine.

As I continued to drink the seed and the mysterious liquid for a while…

“Ugh …… W- What’s this? Occasionally, a strong feeling comes mixed in with the mysterious liquid.”

I don’t know what this is, but it is clear and colorless, but mixed with a very thick liquid.

Don’t tell me, they noticed that I’m here and poisoned me!? …… No, no, poison won’t work on me.

Then what is this!? I feel like it’s time to stop drinking, but then I wouldn’t be able to drink Alex’s seed.

“L- Let’s make the next batch the last. It’s starting to get really bad. No matter how good the seed is, it’s not good enough if I’m drinking something weird with it …… Okay, this is the last …… Mm!? Gghhhh! I drank that strong stuff again!”

It’s painful. It’s as if my body is being purified from within …… Ha! C- Could this be holy water!?

Moreover, it is not ordinary holy water! It is holy water with a tremendous purifying effect!

But, pouring a large amount of holy water of such high quality that can harm me into a river …… Who in the world would do this!? Aahhhhhh, the last strong one will be fatal to me …… Is this how I’m going to die!?

……

I wake up to a dazzling sunrise.

Apparently, I had fallen asleep on the beach.

“H-Huh? How did I end up here? Uhh …… that’s right! The demon king’s army attacked our village and I was the only survivor.”

How could I have forgotten such a sad thing?

Why am I in this place?

I feel as if my memories of the past few decades have been missing.

I wonder where I can find the village of my sea dragon tribesmen.

I don’t know anything, but I have a feeling that someone very …… very important is up this river.

I decided to go up the river not in my sea dragon form, but in my original human form.
