Chapter 332 – Day 48 – The Second Adventure of Hedone and Mana
‘Oh my gosh…’
Mana, who held Hedone’s hand tightly, was started by the scenery in front of her.
After following the giant flesh monster, the place they arrived at was a cave with an obvious musty smell.
She had expected this far, so there was nothing to be surprised about, but Mana couldn’t shut her mouth at the sight of the huge sewer that arrived after being guided by her.
“Hmm…”
Unlike Mana, Hedone raised the corner of her mouth slightly as if she had expected this, and held her nervous her Mana’s hand her tightly.
The number of undead in front of them was quite large, and they behaved ferociously, as if they would bite the two ladies at any moment, but they were controlled, so they were not attacked.
“It’ll be fine. In the worst case, the foolish princess will come. You’ve prepared for sure, right?”
“…I made sure to prepare, but…”
Mana, who swallowed her saliva, couldn’t smile as easily as Hedone.
She is quite ashamed, but she never thought that there would be such a huge sewer underground in the old Kingdom of Magicka.
She was born here, and as the daughter of Queen Madolce, it was to her shame that she did not expect this.
“I’ve been forced to visit places like this in Britannia, so it’s just what I expected.”
“Still…”
At Hedone’s kind words, Mana weakly blushes and makes her smile bitterly.
“There! Two!Hehe! Don’t make noise! Stay still!”
At the sound of her voice her coming from above her head her on her huge hunk of flesh, Hedone lets out her little snort and nods her head.
Having experienced the stench stinging her nose the other day, she was able to tolerate it, and Hedone was guided without raising an eyebrow, and finally reached a certain room.
“It’s exactly as expected.”
Hedone, who snorts at her, bursts into laughter when she sees the beings in front of her.
“Are you laughing at us right now? How stupid! Manneken piss!”
“Heh,hehe! We’ll be there soon! We can get out of here differently from you…!”
Mana heard her voice her coming from under her own head her and looked at her her Hedone.
‘How the hell did you expect this…? That’s great…”
When entering a cave, when entering an underground waterway, when terrifying skeleton soldiers stabbing with wooden spears…
Hedone didn’t bat an eye or even strain.
Why? Actually, it was too simple.
“Mr. Mana. It seems that the children here are not the identities of the terrifying necromancer.”
At the place Hedone pointed out, there were children wearing rags ridiculously.
Among them, the children who seemed to be the captains were holding canes that were unknown to whom they had given them as ‘gifts’.
‘Although he controls the undead, he doesn’t seem to be a necromancer at all. I’ve heard that mana stones are hard to process… There’s no way these kids made a staff with mana stones stuck in their heads.’
Hedone, who naturally grasped the situation with the knowledge she had learned from Hollympus, looked at Mana.
Hedone’s knowledge of her was not perfect, but when her knowledge of magic, unknown to the end of her mana, was added, her guesses of her were certain.
“These children cannot be called wizards. They seem to be controlling the undead here with the help of magic tools.”
“Isn’t it? It’s pretty hard to see these children as cruel necromancers who repeatedly attacked Mana-san’s mansion.”
The conversation between the two girls could of course be heard by the children in front of them.
“What are you doing…! Heh heh heh! Are you ignoring us now? You want to die?!”
“Yes! Yes! You have no idea how terrifying we are!”
Some kids got angry, and some kids took out small knives from their waists and pointed them at Hedone and Mana.
“Take off your clothes right now!”
“Yeah! Take it off quickly! The clothes, the clothes, to the fence! If you sell the clothes, you can eat a lot of delicious things!”
“And! Quickly! How about… Tell me if you’re a family noble!”
It’s like scruffy kids threatening to wield daggers and wands that can control the undead…
From Hedone’s point of view, who had really passed the critical juncture of dying several times, the children in front of her looked pretty cute.
“Mr. Hedone…”
On the other hand, Mana was nervous about the unreasonable behavior of children who seemed to be barely over 10 years old, perhaps it was the first time she had ever been threatened like this against living people who were not undead.
It seemed that no matter how weak the children were, if they were stabbed with a sharp and dirty dagger, they would be seriously injured.
“Don’t worry, there are ways.”
Hedone grinned and smiled, and before he knew it, a girl with long hair approached with a dagger.
“Bah..! Hurry! Take it off quickly…!”
The sight of him screaming even made him look pitiful.
* * * * * *
“I’m sorry. Princess…”
“How will Ceres stop Hedone and Mana from going about their business? Don’t apologize.”
Seeing Ceres bowing down to her waist and apologizing, the princess calmly waved her hand her.
It was a very serious situation if you think badly, but Hedone and Mana were wise.
‘…The method was a bit bizarre, but it’s easy to track because of the footprints that are definitely mixed with magical power.’
In case of emergency, Diana decided to keep her camp while Arisa and Ceres were looking for Hedone and Mana with the princess.
It was the middle of the night, and it was the land of the old Magicka Kingdom, where the undead swarmed, so it could have been an extremely dangerous situation, but fortunately nothing big happened.
However, the princess’ heart was easy. She smiled and laughed on the outside, as it was clear that the two women she loved had apparently been kidnapped, but her heart was never at peace.
“I don’t know whose idea it was, but just follow these footprints and you’ll find Hedone and Mana right away.”
Arisa, who brushed her palms off her, didn’t even wear her high legs up, unlike last time.
It meant that the situation was not serious enough to show a lot of her bare skin of her, and thanks to the magic she used, Mana’s urine-stained footprints were glowing with fluorescence.
“Well, can you guess which guys took Hedone and Mana?”
“That’s… Honestly incredibly hard to guess. But…”
Even rain began to fall from her sky, so the princess moved her feet quickly.
The worst things kept going through her head. Wouldn’t she have gone through a tough situation, like when Hedone fought her demons, wouldn’t she be mortally wounded by the undead while fighting too hard…
“It’s clear she’s up to something. And since she didn’t raid the camp herself, she might be a pretty smart guy.”
“You mean you waited for Hedone and Mana to get out of the camp because you were worried that the attack would be blocked like in the mansion?”
“Honestly, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think so. Of course, I wouldn’t have thought about running errands… But when camping, not everything can be taken out of the wagon, right? Firewood and drinking water needed for a fire are procured nearby A lot of times…”
Arisa’s expression of her was very serious as she cautiously followed the fluorescent footsteps of her.
Hedone and Mana were precious friends to her as well.
“He might be a very smart guy more than I thought. Hedone and Mana hit the jackpot from their point of view, and in reality, they were hoping that Mr. Ceres or the servants would get caught.”
“You seem to know my personality.”
“That’s right. Venus is definitely not someone to just throw away just because an attendant has disappeared.”
The princess who arrived in front of the huge cave swallowed her saliva.
Even though I thought I could find Mana and Hedone by jumping down there, I knew instinctively that it was ‘dangerous’.
“Princess… The cave looks pretty dangerous. There’s even a stench coming up there.”
“Ugh… The situation is serious… I honestly can’t imagine how many corpses are in this cave.”
Arisa pinched her nose and lowered her hand, grabbing her high leg tightly and lifting it up.
What is inside a cave whose depth is unimaginable because there is no light?
The possibility that the undead legion that attacked the mansion started from here was too high, so Ceres and Arisa’s words were not a big deal.
“…It must be quite dangerous.”
Even as she spoke, the princess stroked the magic ring Amilias had made for her.
“Venus. You can’t… You’re not thinking of just running down here, are you? It’ll take a while, but I’d better bring Diana. Let’s abandon the camp and bring all the attendants.”
“I think that would be better. Princess. With Diana’s blood magic, no matter how many undead there are…”
“…Hedone and Mana are down here, aren’t they?”
Looking at the princess speaking with her serious expression Her, Arisa scratched her head. Although she said quite rational things, it was not that she was ignorant of the feelings of the princess.
“Unconditionally, it’ll be down here. It looks like it went all the way down that slope. It’s definitely inside. Venus.”
“I don’t know what’s going on, so how can I go back to camp? It’s going to be dangerous, Arisa and Ceres, get back!”
“Now, wait! Venus! Are you crazy?! I understand what you mean!”
Arisa is startled and grabs the princess’s hand her.
“No matter how royal you are! Even if you get injured, you can recover quickly! Your opponent is the undead!! Don’t you remember that monster that appeared last when we fought in the mansion? Because it has the footprints of the beast it possessed!”
“Still!”
The princess resolutely removed Arisa’s hand and smiled.
“Arisa! Change your stance and think about it! If you were Hedone and Mana, wouldn’t you want them to come and save you even if it’s 1 minute 1 second!”
“That, of course! I don’t want you to show up half-baked!”
“Don’t worry!!”
Eventually, the princess threw Arisa’s screams behind her and jumped under her while stroking her her magic ring.
“Ah! Seriously! I’m going crazy and I’m going to die! You’re such an idiot! Venus!!!”
Unlike the screams heard from above her cave, the princess’s body her was intact.
The armor and sword that Amilias had made for her radiated a flash of light, and as she had been worried about, the princess began to slash and slash the zombies and ghouls.
“Ah, it’s Alisan…!”
“Ai! Mr. Seriously! Mr. Ceres! Please follow me slowly! Got it?! All the undead seem to be only interested in Venus!”
Arisa, unable to abandon her friend her, eventually rolls up her sleeves and creates a giant fireball from her fingertips her, shooting it off.
-Roaring! Kwak!
Haha! Isn’t it easy! Arisa!”
“Me! It’s not as easy as it sounds! You’re ignorantly strong!”
Arisa screams as she sees the princess slicing dozens of ghouls that run at high speed like four-legged beasts with her sword and kicking them back with her feet her.
Ironically, Arisa, who complained that the princess was using her ridiculous powers her, used her destruction magic her to burn dozens of undead or melt her body her.
“Hedone! Mana!”
As they entered the cave, the number of ghouls with grotesquely changed muscles and jaws instead of slow-moving zombies began to increase, and the number of well-armed skeleton soldiers also began to increase.
“Where are you! Answer me!”
She was the princess who smashed her undead with her sword with the brightest smile, but her heart her wasn’t bright either.
She loved Hedone and she loved Mana, to the point where she wondered what would happen to herself if something happened to the two women.
“Princess! Watch your left!”
“Kuk! I almost got into trouble..! You did!”
Her huge arm of flesh glided past her princess’s head her, and the princess swiftly slashed the flesh her with her sword.
“Ugh! Seriously! I need to do laundry too…!”
Covered in black blood that smells disgusting all over her body Her, Arisa spit! She did and she spat, then with her left hand she created a shield for her Ceres her and with her her right she fired a bolt of lightning at her.
Flash! Flash!
Every time Arisa used her immense power of destruction magic, the ghouls with her wings uttered a strange sound and were annihilated, and before the other undead could fill the gap, the princess stepped in front of her.
‘I’m definitely reducing the number of enemies…!”
Arisa furrowed her eyebrows when the cave was over and she arrived at the underground waterway that smelled of stink.
‘This is crazy! If my magic power goes down, I’ll be in a situation where I can’t see even an inch…!’
Mana’s footprints were visible, so I didn’t get lost in her path of her, but it was a really dangerous situation.
Knowing this, the princess ignorantly went ahead of her, dripping her blood all over her body her, and finally she arrived in front of the huge steel door.
“Hey! Venus! You…! You! Don’t open it! If there’s a trap…!”
“Isn’t it okay if I block it with my body!”
“You stupid!!!”
Arisa freaked out and tried to stop her princess, but the door was already open.
“Hedone! Mana!”
The princess screamed and entered the door.
“Oh, you must be a foolish princess. Welcome.”
“Ah, Venus… I’m sorry, these kids said there was an intruder, so I asked you to stop it.”
I could see Hedone and Mana sitting with very calm expressions and drinking tea leisurely, and in the corner of the room there were small children sobbing with their hands raised as if they were scolded.
“W, where is the terrifying necromancer?”
“What, what! What is this? … What is it? Where is the wizard who controls the undead?”
Her bewildered princess her and Arisa, who followed her, couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
“A terrifying necromancer gave these children wands to control the undead and hid somewhere…”
Before Hedone could finish her words, the princess threw down the sword she was holding in her hand, ran to Hedone and Mana, and hugged them tightly.
“It’s really fortunate that there were no injuries! Didn’t you do anything bad? Hey, it’s what the little kids did here? Then there’s nothing to worry about…!”
“…Princess… Are you crying?”
“Ooh, who says crying is crying! You guys are gone… Of course…”
Hedone, who was making a slightly relaxed expression, relaxed and smiled and gently hugged her beloved princess.
“Venus… You were very worried…”
“Isn’t it obvious! You guys kidnapped me…”
Enfolded in her arms her, Mana patted her princess on the buttocks and nodded her head.
“I’m sorry, Venus.”
“I’m sorry. Princess. But both of us were getting along without anything happening.”
“But! Anyway, let’s make sure this doesn’t happen from now on. Yes… That’s a relief. Whoa, it’s really a relief…”
The princess, whose heart sank and sat down, hugged the two of them tightly while holding back her small tears.
“…Ha, I can’t be angry.”
Arisa, who clicked her tongue, looked at the three women who were making a warm appearance, then looked at the staff on the table in silence.
‘Still, Mr. Hedone did a great job… The work will be over sooner than I thought….’
