Chapter 97: Demon Princess Shadow I
TN: Check out my new project too! The Replacement for Suicidal Undead catches up with the raw.
===
◆Dark Knight; Kuroki
We finally took the captured Kraken back to Nargol along with aspidochelone.
Aspidochelone had no problem with swimming in the slightly stormy weather, moreover, the mansion on top of its shell didn’t even sway a bit.
I was sitting on the floor while looking at the Kraken outside from the mansion’s window.
The Kraken was tied with giant ropes and dragged by aspidochelone.
It was easier to carry the Kraken after its corpse was frozen with magic, just like carrying a drifting block of ice.
When I turned my head into the room again, Polen and Petina were already preparing their food as usual.
And The young men from the selkie tribe were getting a bit restless waiting for their shares on the table.
But, Polen’s expression didn’t seem to be that good. What happened to her I wonder.
I looked at them while brushing Inura’s head, letting her stay on my lap.
Inura always let out adorable cries whenever I did that to her.
Inura was a selkie too. But she couldn’t turn to her human form yet since she was still way too young.
Thus, the young selkie was always in their earless seal form. It felt like I was placing an extremely adorable stuffed plushie on my lap.
I looked outside of the window again.
「Eh?」
My ring buzzed the moment I saw the spectacle outside of the window.
Kuna should probably be heading on her way toward us now. It seems that she couldn’t take it any longer since I went out quite a long time this time.
Thus, she decided to come.
By the look of it, she seems to be riding on Glorious.
Glorious, who was hailed as the Demon Dragon, could fly really fast despite her giant frame.
They were about to arrive anytime soon.
「Sorry Inura. Can I leave your side for a moment?」
Inura looked really pitiful the moment I told her so, but I ignored her and gave her to the female selkies who were waiting on the side.
「Yes, Your Excellency
」
The female selkie accepted Inura with a smile on her face.
I had a hard time replying back to her thanks to their shell bikini. But, I somehow managed to keep an uptight face without showing a sloven smile.
「Is something the matter, Master Kuroki?」
Polen called out to me the moment she noticed that I was about to leave.
「Yes, Your Highness. I’m going to welcome someone who is about to come.」
I said so and then bowed to Polen before I left the mansion.
A few minutes later, I finally saw a giant silhouette from afar.
「KUROKI!!」
Kuna jumped into my embrace the moment Glorious arrived.
「Is something the matter, Kuna? Are you getting impatient already?」
Kuna nodded her head hard when I asked her.
That gesture was really adorable.
I unintentionally made guts pose inside the moment I saw her make such an adorable gesture.
No cute girl has ever shown such an adorable gesture to me before.
GUHEHEHEHEHE.
「I came to here myself since Kuroki is so slow.」
My face was reflected in Kuna’s beautiful eyes.
Oh crap!! That expression was cheating, I almost made my sloven expression show.
Brace yourself, me.
The moment I thought so, Glorious landed herself on aspidochelone.
Glorious was a giant dragon but she could still land on the aspidochelone back. But of course, aspidochelone’s body was a bit shaken due to the sudden addition of weight on his back. Even the orcs were screaming in panic as if an earthquake had happened.
But Glorious ignored the commotion and approached me as if wanted to be spoiled by me too.
It seems Glorious missed me so much too.
「Sorry for leaving you too long, Glorious. Have you been a good child?」
I patted Glorious’ nose.
Thereupon, Glorious let out a satisfied hum.
The way she acted was just like Inura.
Extremely adorable like Kuna.
There was commotion all over the aspidochelone’s back while we’re enjoying our reunion.
It seems Ezasa’s subordinates and Liburm’s subordinates couldn’t hide their shock upon seeing the arrival of Kuna and Glorious.
The lizardman and Liburm were showing an expression of admiration upon seeing Glorious. The orcs were scolded by Ezasa for looking at Kuna with a sloven look on their face.
Well, I understand their feelings since Kuna was so adorable, and Glorious was a really cool dragon.
「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!」
And then, I heard another scream which didn’t come from either the lizardman or the orc.
When I turned around, I found out that the owner of that voice was Polen.
Her eyes were wide open as she looked at us with an extremely surprised look on her face.
Her eyes were locked on Kuna.
Polen was really shocked upon seeing Kuna.
Her body was trembling nonstop.
Is something the matter? Why did she all of sudden freeze on the spot?
Finally, she opened her mouth.
「M-MASTER KUROKI!! W-WHO IS THAT SUPER DUPER EROTIC BEAUTY—?!!!」
Polen’s shout resounded through the back of aspidochelone.
◆Princess of Hell; Polen
Chewchew, crunch crunch.
I was intensely eating the dishes that were being carried by the male selkies.
I mean, my plan to get saved like a damsel in distress by Master Kuroki was crumbling apart.
I mean, Poh-chan was saved by him and getting an experienced princess carry on top of that.
I’m so jealous.
Why everything just wouldn’t go according to my plan?
「Uhm, It’s so delicious, Your Highness.」
Poh-chan was gobbling on her fish beside me.
It was delicious but it felt lacking somehow.
「Bu~. Sure enough
 Poh-chan
」
I ate the boiled lobster while pouting lightly.
But, Poh-chan was completely absorbed in eating and didn’t seem to realize my mood.
Well, that’s a good thing though.
Moreover, everything is the fault of that fragile Kraken!!!
How can it be defeated so easily when I only tapped it lightly, its giant body must be just for show.
「Uhm
 Your Highness Polen
 Is something the matter?」
Inul who noticed my mood was asking with a frightened look on his face.
Starting from Inul, the selkies were singing high praise to me for defeating the Kraken but at the same time, they were also frightened silly by my power.
Thus, they had that frightened look on their face from time to time when they saw me.
Though their shell swimsuit was truly such eye candy, such spectacle was useless when they looked at me with that kind of face.
Sure enough, I could easily break their bones just by brushing against them.
That’s why it really couldn’t be helped that they’re scared of me.
But, to be honest, there was nothing more pitiful than seeing these handsome men looking at me with frightened look on their faces.
As I expected, Master Kuroki was the only one who could withstand my strength.
Currently, Master Kuroki was sitting in the chair as he petted the young selkie(earless seal-form) on his lap.
From the time he took off his helmet, I could see his heavenly face.
He had an extremely kind look on his face when he brushed on the head of the young selkie.
His eyes that sometimes peep from his hair carried gentle light in them.
It was such a soothing spectacle.
Master Kuroki didn’t really stand out when he was compared with those handsome and beauties from Elios which I saw in a magic book.
But, he was just less flashy, appearance-wise, he didn’t lose to those Elios’ gods.
On the contrary, his gentle appearance should give him a huge boost compared to Elios’ gods, right?
Though I felt this murky feeling in my che*st when I saw his face, it gradually turned into shame as I recalled how kind and gentle Master Kuroki was.
My plan to get saved was ruined but, well it wasn’t a big deal.
「Guhehehehe.」
Woops, gotta keep me from showing a sloven look on my face.
I mean, it would make me look like my dear father when he was alone with my mother.
""
I refuse to be the same kind as him in that regard too.
Master Kuroki suddenly stood up when I was pondering this matter.
He went toward the entrance of the room after he entrusted the young selkie on his lap to the other female selkie.
The young selkie sends a pitiful glance toward Master Kuroki.
「Is something the matter, Master Kuroki?」
「Yes, Your Highness. I’m going to welcome someone who is about to come.」
Master Kuroki bowed his head as he replied to me.
Thus, he left the room and went down to the entrance of the mansion.
「Ah? It seems that the Silver Princess is arriving soon.」
Poh-chan said so after Master Kuroki left the room.
「Silver Princess? Who’s that, Poh-chan?」
I tilted my head in confusion as I asked Poh-chan.
「Your Excellency’s wife of course.」
「Eh!?」
I dropped the grilled crab in my hand the moment Poh-chan dropped the bombshell.
Wh-what? Master Kuroki already had a wife? Why have I never heard about it!?
I felt like I was being zapped by a thunderbolt upon hearing Poh-chan’s remark.
「W-w-w-w-w-w-WHAT DO YOU MEAN, POH-CHAAAAAAAAAN?!!!」
I went to Poh-chan and grabbed a hold of her head.
「A-AAARGH! IT’S EXACTLY AS I SAY, YOUR HIGHNESS!!!」
Poh-chan collapsed, blowing bubbles from her mouth after I shook her head so many times.
Silver Princess. Who in the world was that person?
I suddenly felt really anxious.
I walked back and forth in the mansion while pondering about such things.
「KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!」
Suddenly, the female selkie screamed.
When I looked outside of the window, I saw a giant jet-black dragon approaching aspidochelone.
Oh crap. That one was clearly far more powerful than the Kraken.
I headed toward the entrance of the mansion in a hurry.
Upon arriving, I saw that Ezasa’s orcs subordinate had already gathered at the entrance of the mansion.
With this, the exit had been blocked.
When I was troubled about what to do, the orcs who finally noticed me opened a way for me to pass.
Thus, I could finally leave the mansion.
Upon exiting the mansion, I saw that giant dragon right outside of the mansion.
The dragon didn’t seem to have any intention to attack us.
Upon a closer look, I found out that Master Kuroki was right beneath that dragon’s figure.
Come to think of it, I heard that Master Kuroki tamed a dragon for his mount.
This giant dragon might be Master Kuroki’s mount. That’s why the dragon looks so docile.
And then, Master Kuroki wasn’t alone too.
Is that girl, the one called Silver Princess?
「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!」
I unintentionally leaked out such a voice.
At that moment, Master Kuroki’s figure moved.
Which allowed me to see a super duper gorgeous babe in his embrace.
The Silver Haired Beauty who got surprised upon hearing my scream then looked at me.
Such beautiful eyes.
The difference between the two of us made me want to dig a hole to hide.
Her beautiful skin was as white as her enchanting silver hair.
Gems were inlaid on her attire that was based on blue and black colour.
And then, even with her attire, I could tell that she had a pair of massive bre*ast, constricted waist, and round butt.
In addition, maybe because the short skirt, actually accentuated her slender and beautiful legs.
That leg was truly charming, borderline erotic.
No, it’s not just her leg. Her entire being was literally the personification of eroticism!!!
Her beauty alone rivals that of my dear mother.
Many of Elios’ goddesses would be eclipsed by her beauty.
As I expected, she must be the beautiful silver princess, right?
You Lost
 completely lost
 Mom

I mean, how could she have such a massive pair of tits despite her short height? Rather, that slim waist was cheating.
AND YET, WHY IS MY FIGURE NOT LIKE THAT DESPITE BEING THE SAME HEIGHT AS HER?!!!
I looked at my round, barrel-like body while pondering about life.
I truly wanted to cry, you know.
I mean, I saw many beauties until now.
But, this was the first time I saw a girl whose beauty brought this much shock to me.
Was it because she had a relationship with Master Kuroki?
I WANT TO BECOME A BEAUTY TOO!!
I screamed inwardly as such feeling budded in me.
Let’s try to talk to her.
Let’s ask Master Kuroki to introduce the girl to me!!
「M-MASTER KUROKI!! W-WHO IS THAT SUPER DUPER EROTIC BEAUTY—?!!!」
Thus, my voice resounded through the back of aspidochelone.
