Chapter 98: Demon Princess Shadow II

TN: Check out my new project too! The Replacement for Suicidal Undead catches up with the raw.

===

◆Princess of Hell; Polen

「So You're the one who is called Polen huh. I've heard about you from Kuroki. By the way, my name is Kuna, Kuroki's W-I-F-E.」

The super sexily beautiful girl greeted me, emphasizing the "Wife" part.

Her eyes were full of disdain, as if she was looking down on me.

Moreover, it was as if she was laughing scornfully at me the first time she saw me.

But, this girl did release an overwhelming oppressive air.

This sense of oppression rivaling that of my mother.

「Uhm… Kuna. The way you speak is a bit…」

Master Kuroki panicked a little bit.

I am the daughter of my father, the demon king after all. In short, I am a princess in flesh and blood.

Thus, no matter how ugly I looked, everyone was always pampering me.

Thus, I failed to realize the most important thing.

I failed to realize how ugly I am.

I couldn't forget the shock that I received the first time I saw Elios gods' appearance from the projection magic.

There were a lot of beautiful men over there.

While they're the demon's enemy, I couldn't help but marvel at their handsome appearance.

Thus, I hid my appearance from the world.

Even now, the collection of the picture of naked gentlemen from Elios which I received from Goblin Queen Datie has become my greatest treasure.

Also when was it I wonder?

By chance, I found a picture of the goddesses standing beside those gods.

And I noticed.

I'm actually really ugly compared to them, right? I mean, I looked like a pig no matter how one looked at it.

My confidence collapsed the moment I realized that fact.

It was one of the darkest times in my life which still made me tremble in shame whenever I recalled how I acted as if I was a cute girl at that time――!!

I REALLY WANT TO DIG A HOLE AND BURY MYSELF INSIDE WHENEVER I RECALLED THOSE DAYS!!

It was really embarrassing to the point that I would like to roll myself around to hide my face whenever I recalled those memories.

And today, I recalled the dark history of my life upon seeing the beauty whose beauty surpassed even the Elios' goddesses.

「Your Highness, are you alright? is it because Kuna's remark?」

Master Kuroki asked me with a worried look on his face upon seeing my agonizing face.

Uuh, I had no idea that Master Kuroki had such a beautiful wife.

I cried hard inside.

The beauty who stood beside Master Kuroki was glaring at me with a piercing glare.

But, I guess it was only natural for his wife to be this beautiful.

I mean, if I was as beautiful as her, I would surely be looking down at the other party raising my chin while laughing 「Ohohoho」.

And then laughing haughtily in a tea party while saying 「The honey isn't enough!!」 while elegantly enjoying the sweets with plenty of honey.

「No, you're mistaken Master Kuroki. It's not your wife's fault…」

I was pretending to be calm while crying inside.

「T-Thanks goodness. And, Kuna. Please get along since both of you are woman.」

Master Kuroki said so to the beauty with a slightly anxious face.

But, that was a really harsh request, right?

I mean, can I really stand by her side?

I mean, this beauty might actually hate me.

「Getting along with this fella? Sure, it's not big deal.」

But then, the beauty readily agreed.

I couldn't read her expression since she was making it as if it wasn't that important.

「Eh? Are you sure?」

「Yeah, it's Kuroki's request after all.」

The beauty stood before me.

My height was arund her che*st.

Thus, the first thing that I saw when she approached me was her swaying, huge bo*bs.

STONK!! THIS GIRL'S EROS WAS OFF THE CHART!!! 📈

I ended up getting charmed by her EROS' power.

「Uhm? Is something the matter? Why are you staring at Kuna's bre*ast?」

The beauty was tilting her head as she asked that question.

DAMMMIT, SHE WAS SO DAMN CUTE!!

That simple gesture alone could destroy a dynasty.

「No, it's nothing. I was just wondering, what should I do to become a super erotic beauty like you?」

Oh crap, I accidentally spat out my thoughts.

I mean, every girl would definitely want to become like her, right?

「Hah? Kuna has been cute since she was born. Kuna also doesn't neglect daily effort. It's only natural for Kuna to be this adorable, it's gift of hard work and talent.」

I received another shock upon hearing her words.

「You put even more effort despite already this beautiful?」

Suddenly, I realized that I somehow spoke respectfully to her.

「OF COURSE!! LOOK AT KUROKI!! HE'S STILL PUTTING MORE EFFORT TO BECOME STRONG DESPITE ALREADY HAVING SUCH POWER!!」

Sure enough, Master Kuroki never neglected his training even during this journey.

He was so powerful, yet he still strives to become even stronger.

And here I am, only lazing around despite telling him that I wanted to learn swordcraft from him.

Never once did I worry about putting more effort since I didn't even care about swordcraft to begin with.

Yet, this beauty's remark stabs deep into my sore spot.

「I see… Does that mean… I can also become a beauty if I put more effort?」

I asked timidly.

「Who knows. But nothing will change unless you try.」

My head felt dizzy when she pointed that fact out.

Yeah, she was right. Nothing would ever change since I haven’t started anything.

「Uhm… Please impart your teaching to me, Shiso?」

I was clinging to the beauty with tears in my eyes.

「HAH?!! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING!!?」

Kuna shisou appeared to be flustered.

「Plea~se. Please teach me how to get such huge bre*ast, will you?」

「THAT'S BECAUSE KUROKI LIKE IT BIG!!! AND STOP HUGGING ME!! KUROKI, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT HER!!」

Kuna-shisou asked for master Kuroki's help.

But, Master Kuroki was looking in another direction instead.

There was this grim look on his face.

Thus, Kuna-shisou and I ended up looking at Master Kuroki's sight.

「Is something the matter, Kuroki?」

Only then did Master Kuroki snapped back and looked at us.

「It's an emergency, Your Highness. The hero and co is coming.」

◆Dark Knight; Kuroki

The Werewolf Daigan contacted me just a while ago.

He was the one who’s stationed in Algore as their guardian and also my watchman said that hero and co were nearby.

He even added that Shirone was visiting the Algore kingdom.

The reason was because they were looking for the confectionery castle.

It seems that the existence of the confectionery castle had finally been discovered.

Datie might be in danger.

「KUNA!! CONTACT DATIE-DONO IMMEDIATELY!! TELL HER TO EVACUATE!!」

I explained the situation to Kuna and asked her to contact Datie.

But, Kuna shook her head.

「I can't contact her, Kuroki. It seems the castle is being surrounded by some sort of barrier. It also prevents us from using teleportation.」

H*ly Cr*p!!

Honestly speaking, Datie was really weak.

But, I had to save her since she was my comrade in arms.

「I see… Then we have to save her… My apologies, Your Highness. I have to go first.」

I apologize to Polen since I had to leave immediately.

「Wait a minute!! What do you mean by Datie is in danger, Master Kuroki?!!!」

But, Polen suddenly asked with a shocked look on her face.

「Your Highness know about Datie-dono?」

「Yes. I got a lot of nice paintings from Datie and she’s still sending them until now.」

I was slightly surprised.

I never expected that Polen and Datie turned out to have similar hobbies.

What kind of painting was it, I wonder?

Honestly, I've enjoyed beautiful painting the most.

「Painting, eh. Come to think of it, Datie did bring a lot of pictures with her. Is it by any chance that the number is still increasing?」

「No way!!!」

Polen made a desperate look on her face the moment she heard Kuna's remark.

It seems that she was looking forward to the new painting.

「Your Highness. Can you tell me what kind of painting you're looking for? I will try to bring it back while saving Datie.」

「Ah. That's…」

Polen was starting to sweat like waterfall upon hearing my question.

Did she have a hard time explaining the painting?

「Since that's the case, I'll bring back every single one of the paintings.」

「EH!! DON'T!! OH RIGHT!! PLEASE BRING ME WITH YOU TOO, MASTER!! I WANT TO SAVE DATIE TOO! THAT'S WHY IT'S BETTER FOR ME TO COME WITH YOU!! POH-CHAN!」

「Well, if Your Highness decided to come. Let's go together then.」

Polen suddenly became fired up.

Maybe Polen was the kind of girl who couldn't abandon those who idolized her.

She had the talent to be a ruler.

But, I shouldn't let her move alone either.

I mean, I might've to fight Reiji and co again.

Reiji was a far more dangerous enemy than the kraken.

Polen might be injured if she came along, and there was no way I could bring her to such a dangerous place.

「Your Highness. I understand that you're worrying about Datie but it's still dangerous. So please wait in safe place.」

I said so while bowing at Polen.

「It's okay, let's bring her along, Kuroki. Kuna will be coming along too after all.」

Kuna said so as if it was a natural thing to do.

「PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE ME ALONG, MASTER KUROKI!!」

Polen said with a serious look on her face.

It seems that she really wanted to save Datie.

I guess I had no choice but to take her along.

I heaved a sigh upon realizing that.

◆Silver Witch; Kuna

「Do you understand, Kuna? You must escape with Her Highness Polen when things get really dangerous. But, you have to prioritize your safety too, okay?」

Kuroki spoke to Kuna with a worried look on his face.

Kuroki was really worrying so much about Kuna after all.

But, the same goes for Kuna.

「Understood Kuroki. You have to escape too when things get really dangerous.」

Kuroki looked rather troubled after Kuna said so.

Maybe he thought that he'll be okay.

But, I had no intention to let him brace danger.

Well, Kuna could understand his attitude since Kuroki was really strong.

He could literally wipe the floor with the hero and co if not for that bi*tch Shirone.

But, that was even more reason for me to go with him.

Maybe I should warn Datie so that the goblin didn't blabber too much.

Not that Kuna was worrying about Datie's safety.

Heqat-Shisou was right by her side after all.

Her nickname, the Archwitch of the Wetland wasn't just for show, after all, that woman definitely had a way to defeat the hero.

That's why there was no need to worry about Datie.

Rather, this would be a chance to let Datie know her place.

Kuroki's picture was amongst Datie's suspicious collection after all.

Naturally, Kuna had already disposed of Kuroki's picture in Datie's collection.

Even Kuroki would be displeased if he saw his picture in that collection. Anyone who displeases Kuroki should just go die.

Thus, I left Datie and kept the matter about Hero and co marching to the confectionery castle from Kuroki.

Kuna's only blunder was the fact that she forgot about Kuroki's personal network.

Thanks to that, Kuroki ended up knowing the current situation.

「Well then, let's go.」

Kuroki, who had yet to realize that Kuna was tricking him, urged Kuna and co to go.

「I understand, Kuroki.」

「YES, MASTER!! PLEASE TAKE CARE OF ME, SHISOU!!」

Polen called Kuna a Shisou.

It seems she truly wanted to learn how to become beautiful from Kuna.

Though Kuna could teach her about cosmetics that she learnt from Rena, Kuna had been wondering whether this pig could make full use of that knowledge or not.

Well, she might be a pig but she is still the daughter of the demon king, who was also a pig. She might be useful for Kuna.

Let's pretend to get along with her.

「Are you sure that you want to go, Your Highness? That place is dangerous you know?」

「Don't worry, Poh-chan. Master Kuroki is with me after all. Moreover, I'll somehow retrieve the pictures behind Master Kuroki's back, Poh-chan.」

「Haa… I understand, Your Highness.」

Polen and co were discussing something in low voice behind Kuna's back.

Though it was true that it would be alright since Kuroki is with us, are they really not nervous at all?

Even if Kuroki could wipe the floor against the hero, the latter was undeniably powerful.

But, seeing that Kuroki entrusted their protection to me, I guess I had to protect them.

How troublesome.
