Chapter 094 – Holy Gal Demons [B]
“…Holy gal demons?”
“Yes. Both Sera and I are such existences.”
“Nyuu…”
In the end, as they soaked in the bath again, Leonhart heard their story from the woman who introduced herself as Bezeleye.
It was the story how they were an existence known as “holy gal demons,”
“There are also two others… and four of us are known as the four holy gal demons. As for our mission, well, bluntly speaking, it is about giving birth and propagating.” 1
“…Do you mean breeding?”
“It’s not simple breeding. We could mate with any race and give birth to new species of demon.”
“…I see.”
So that’s why she asked to make a child earlier, thought Leonhart in understanding.
Seeing Leonhart nodded, Bezeleye continued.
“By the way, the thing that Sera talked about earlier is probably not a lie.”
“? The thing she said earlier?”
“Yes,” continue Bezeleye as she nodded,
“That thing where she said she had made a child with you.”
“…Hah?”
Leonhart’s thoughts stopped once again. Without minding that, Bezeleye spoke,
“Each of us is granted the ability to control something, and in the case of Serachrolas, it is ‘time.’ She’s known as Serachrolas of Time.”
“…Time.”
“I mean,” continued Bezeleye,
“The concept of past and future is ambiguous for Sera. It is said that her consciousness is spread out all over the timeline.”
“…Does that mean—”
As to draw the conclusion, Bezeleye said,
“Perhaps the things she said might really take place in the future.”
“……………………Seriously?”
“Seriously.”
Such images of the future were pushed onto Leonhart without hesitation, which made him hold his head.
…What the heck is my future self doing…? Did I turn into a lolicon by then…?
He had certainly begun to think that even small things weren’t that bad thanks to Ssulal, but wasn’t Sera way too small in comparison? That was way too brutish for his tastes. Ah, but she did say we could do it as long as she did her best, so her body would be alright. So I guess that might be okay.
“…No, that doesn’t make it okay.”
“I think it is okay. It is our duty to bear children after all.”
“Nyuu…”
“…My future self actually went and did it…”
He was still skeptical, but he was really worried about his future.
Rather, even if Ssulal gave him permission to do it with the people she allowed as well, he still thought it was a little too much to do it to such a petite girl. If Leonhart was to bring the girl to Ssulal and say he had done it with her, then not only Ssulal, but even Kesselring would have exhausted her affection for him. Although Leonhart had no idea how far in the future it would take place, it amazed him that Ssulal actually gave permission for it. He was impressed in a way.
However,
“…For the time being, let’s leave that aside… Why did you come here?”
“To find a man.”
Yet another simple reply. It was really easy to understand.
“In other words… you sought a meeting in this town?”
“That’s right… Well, about that, I also felt the presence of the other three, so I thought to come and meet them since it had been awhile since we last met. As I followed their presence, I arrived here.”
“I see… eh, the other two are also in this town…?”
Why did he have an unpleasant premonition about it? Was it because he saw how messed up they acted?
Then a question arose within him. That was,
“…By the way, what ability do you have?”
“Strength.”
“Strength?”
“Literally. I am Bezeleye of Strength. I’m confident in my strength.”
“…How much is that strength?”
“Let’s see,” she replied when he asked… as she looked around.
Then as if she came up with something, Bezeleye turned to him and said.
“…If you give me three minutes, I could flatten this communal bath.”
“…Is that amazing?”
“I guess it’s hard to say it is…” said Bezeleye expressionlessly. It seemed she had a hard time finding an appropriate example.
However, since she said her ability was strength, it drew Leonhart’s interest. Therefore, he lightly suggested,
“Then let’s give it a try— can you hit me with all your might?”
Bezeleye stiffened when she heard his words. But she soon regained herself and,
“…A masochist?”
“I’m not… you don’t have to worry. I’m considered strong among majins — there, hit me over here.”
With that said, he slightly raised his arm and showed his palm. He waved his palm and pointed to hit there, Bezeleye then squinted her eyes,
“…Is it really okay?”
“It’s okay.”
“…Then.”
Along with the voice, Bezeleye lightly shook her arm. And then,
“Bezeleye punch.”
“—!”
At that moment, an impact reverberated through Leonhart’s palm.
The air trembled due to the vibration, and the force transmitted to the bathtub, creating waves. Leonhart exerted his strength to his legs and managed to stand in place in the bathtub.
But even with that, his legs were still pushed back by the impact. Upon receiving so much force, he felt some pain on his palm.
He found that interesting and as the corners of his mouth rose, he turned to Bezeleye,
“…Heeh, not bad. Do you usually fight barehanded?”
“You suddenly have a bad expression there… I usually fight with bare hands and a greatsword.”
“Hou…”
Perhaps it was the nature of a swordsman to react to the word ‘sword’? He couldn’t help but feel excited. Therefore, he lightly asked,
“How is it? We could have a light combat after this—”
“—As expected, I have no idea how it would turn out if I fight a majin, so I’ll refrain from doing it.”
“…I see. That’s too bad. Please call me if you feel like fighting.”
With that said, they soaked in the bath again. Although he was interested in fighting, it couldn’t be helped, since the other party wasn’t. He chose to push those thoughts aside for now.
Just as he thought of that, he came to think of two figures they were,
“…By the way, you said the other holy gal demons came here as well?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
He nodded and made the suggestion that came to his mind. That was,
“You said you’ll go to meet them. — Can I come along?”
“…Why not?”
Leonhart was surprised that Bezeleye agreed easily. So he asked again for confirmation,
“Is it really okay?”
“Even without asking, this is your town, right? Then I can’t refuse.”
“…Well, I guess you’re right…”
“Besides,” continue Bezeleye as she pointed to Leonhart’s side,
“Sera seems attached to you as well.”
“Nyuu…?”
“…You, since when have you been there?”
Before he knew it, there was Serachrolas, who blinked in next to him. She seemed to keep appearing in unexpected places at unexpected moments, or rather, he couldn’t feel her presence. That is scary in a sense, as Leonhart thought of that, he listened to Bezeleye’s words.
“In addition, I could have you introduce us to strong demons if we can’t find one that is good enough. You are the demon army officer, right?”
“You know me well…”
“You’re quite famous, you know? You’re also known as ‘duelist majin,’ ‘blond haired, red eyed, demonic swordsman,’ ‘dragon slayer,’ and ‘the most handsome person in the demon realm.’ You’ve got a lot of nicknames there…”
“…What’s with those names?”
“Yes,” Bezeleye nodded and revealed the source of her knowledge.
“Such is written in this city’s pamphlet.”
…That’s definitely Carol’s doing…!
He was inwardly about to faint in agony. He would make sure to order her to correct it later.
When he was thinking about that, Bezeleye rose from the bathtub.
“Well then, please guide us well, Leonhart-kun.”
“…I don’t mind, but why do you call me with –kun?”
“? You’re younger than us, right?”
“…………I see.”
“Nyuu…”
In the end, Leonhart didn’t correct her words and accompanied the two weirdos — Bezeleye and Serachrolas, as they went out to search for the other holy gal demons that should be in the town.
Author Note:
Ssulal : “I smell women approaching Leonhart…”
Galtia : “I don’t think it has such context in this situation, though.”
Kesselring : “But really, a child with Leonhart, huh…”
Carol : “If it had Leonhart-sama’s blood inside of it, I’m sure whatever child it turned out to be would be strong, cool, and cute without a doubt!”
Hunty : “Things that are born out of holy gal demons are demons though…”
Tsukii Note:
Illustration time! It’s about holy gal demons:
https://i.ibb.co/G7kkcdb/Four-Holy-Gal-Monsters.png (NSFW alert)
Well, that picture of all four of them together in their respective adult forms. They are basically “mothers” of all 3rd generation demon species. They could conceive from anyone, even fellow females, through genetic data (though sex still preferred for conceiving them, but it does not necessarily need to be done that way.) They have fertile periods and infertile periods. They are adults when they are fertile and children when they are not. They would gradually go into heat the longer they stayed in adult form without the act of conceiving child, which acted as a failsafe to force them to conceive child eventually, and they would seek strong one within vicinity as potential mate.
Serachrolas: Holy gal demon, Serachrolas of time. Unlike the other three, there is no difference in her adult and child form. As the appearance of that already included in above illustration, I wouldn’t add it again.
Bezeleye: https://i.ibb.co/Ph1h3VX/Bezeleye-Small.png
Holy gal demon, Bezeleye of strength. The details would be in the story, so I won’t include it here.
