Chapter 92.2: Those Who Lurk in The Sea
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
◆Dark Knight; Kuroki
One night had passed and the aspidochemone that we rode departed toward Selkie’s village.
Despite being called a village, you wouldn’t see something like house in Selkie’s village, it was more like a crowd of selkies.
Selkie took the form of an earless seal when they were not in front of humans.
Thus, their so-called village was nothing more than an ice field. That’s why there was nothing to see over there.
When I looked outside of the window, I could see the aurora.
I heard that this world’s aurora was a phenomenon that appeared in this world along with Mina, Goddess mother of Elios.
Mina seems to be responding to Orgis’ call and appeared right above these icelands.
It said that Orgis was dazzled by Mina’s beauty who appeared along with seven coloured light when the latter came into this world.
And the remaining of that seven-coloured light stayed in this region as aurora.
Those beautiful, seven-colored lights stayed above the icelands even after Mina was gone from this world.
Goddess of Destruction, Nargol must hate this seven-colored light so much.
And I was looking at the very same colour from the window of the room.
I was currently in the room of the top most floor of this mansion.
This room was the perfect place to view the beautiful scenery that spread below..
Polen was surrounded by young selkies.
She was smiling slovenly right now. But, she was serious when she said that she will subjugate the Kraken.
I could see in her eyes that she really wanted to save the troubled Selkies.
For some reason, I was also curious about the reason why Polen wanted to exterminate the Kraken.
But, I guess I shouldn’t do anything unnecessary since my knowledge in that part was lacking.
Let’s conclude that the real reason Polen decided to help the selkies were their helpless cries.
The one who truly move to save the selkies were Polen.
I felt happy, yet powerless at the same time.
All I had to do after this was act as Polen’s assistant to exterminate the kraken.
Polen let out a sloven smile when she got surrounded by the young males of selkies.
But that was a facade, I’m sure that deep inside, she was burning with a passionate fighting spirit.
… Yeah, I’m sure of that.
「Kuroki-sama. Do you want to drink? or me first?」
A female selkie asked so while presenting a beverage for me.
Just like the young male selkies, the young female selkies were also coming to this island.
Currently, all of them were taking off their earless seal’s skin.
The females were also beauties just like their male counterparts.
But, the females were adding shell’s bikini aside from the earless seal’s skin twined around their waist. Their erotic appearance made it hard for me to look at them.
「Thank you very much. The beverage, please.」
The female selkie made a slightly disappointed look on her face when I chose the beverage.
But, I really shouldn’t touch them.
I mean, as a normal and healthy man, my lower half was naturally reacting upon seeing them in their shell’s bikini.
You could say that the side effect of the dragon’s power in me was my personality getting slightly altered, I’ve become a philanderer.
I had to do something to return my mental state to normal before I crossed the line.
Any wrong move would result in me turning this area into an erotic place. I had to avoid that result at all costs!!
I tried my best to avoid looking at the three female selkies who surrounded me.
「Eh?」
That moment, I looked down.
I noticed that there was a small earless seal at my feet.
「Kyu~」
The small earless seal let out an adorable purr upon seeing me.
「Is that you, Inura!? Are you by chance following us to this place?! I’m telling you that you cannot leave the village yet, right!! 」
One of the female selkies said so as she raised the small earless seal.
「Who’s the name of this child?」
「My apologies! This child is following us on her own convenience!!」
The female selkie said so while bowing to me.
「I don’t mind but, this child can’t assume her human form yet, right?」
I approached the small selkie.
「Yes. This child’s name is Inura. She’s the little sister of Inul, our representative. She can’t shed her skin yet since she’s still young. That’s why please do forgive her since she can’t become Kuroki-sama’s companion yet…」
The female selkie explained so while bowing to me.
It seems selkie’s children couldn’t assume their human form yet.
But, it was a piece of good news for the current me since she couldn’t assume her human form yet.
I mean, I even retorted “Companion!? For what!?” inside.
In addition, the young selkie who accompanied Polen was called Inul.
And this small earless seal was his little sister.
Since I couldn’t tell the difference between one earless seal to another, I had no idea that the small earless ear was a boy or girl.
But still, both are equally adorable.
「Don’t worry. She’s such an adorable girl after all.」
The small earless seal let out adorable cries upon hearing my praise.
She must be embarrassed because of my remark.
I remembered the time when I went to the aquarium with Shirone when I saw this small earless seal.
The two of us saw the earless seal family.
The scenery of newborn earless seals cuddling to their mother was truly adorable.
And I had a hard time trying to stop Shirone from charging into the water tank to touch the earless seal.
This was one of my memories along with Shirone. [TL: Which I don’t care.]
I wonder what was that earless seal did now?
My lower half had finally calmed down thanks to the remembrance of my childhood memories.
That was close call.
「Kyu~」
The small earless seal in the female selkie’s arms suddenly twisted her body.
No matter how I looked at it, it was as if she wanted to come here.
「Okay, come here.」
I accepted the small earless seal from the female selkie.
Thus, the small earless seal was starting to rub her nose on my chest like a spoiled child.
「There there, adorable girl.」
She seems to be really happy when I brushed her head.
「Uhm… could it be that Kuroki-sama is preferring Inura? Should we turn into our earless seal form too?」
「NO!! KEEP THAT APPEARANCE PLEASE!!」
FU*CK!! I UNINTENTIONALLY BLURTED OUT MY REAL THOUGHT.
The small earless seal seems to be a little bit surprised since I raised my voice.
「Kyuu~?」
「No, it’s nothing.」
In the end, I could only be focusing on brushing her small earless seal’s head.
Her eyes were really pure. There was no way she would be a dirty-minded like me.
「By the way, I heard that your village is rather far away from Kraken’s lair, how far it is to be exact?」
Since the silence feels uncomfortable, I decided to break the ice.
「Eh? Their lair is right in the ocean you know, Kuroki-sama.」
I, who looked outside couldn’t hide my shock upon hearing their answer.
The scenery was the same as far as I could see, ice everywhere.
I closed my eyes and focused my mind.
That moment, I noticed that something big was heading to our direction.
I only noticed its presence now since it didn’t have killing intent.
「Wait a minute, this is bad…」
◆Princess of Hell; Polen
「Poh-chan. As I expected… It’s really impossible after all… As if a shut-in who can’t swim like me can beat Kraken…」
I muttered those words so that the gentlemen from the selkie tribe couldn’t hear my voice.
「It’s too late to say that no~w, Your Highness Polen. Are you sure you’re going to back down after such a show of courage?」
Poh-chan’s remark stabbed right into my sore spot.
「Fu~h. What a blunder… I got too hot-headed at that time. As expected of the murderous charm of male selkies…」
「Ha~… Well, that’s just exactly who you are, Your Highness. Have you calmed down now?」
Poh-chan shrugged her head as if to say “Good grief”.
I was rather curious what kind of person I am in Poh-chan’s opinion.
「Polen-sama. The sweets are coming, do you want to try?」
Inul and co offered new sweets to me.
They called me by name instead of title, simply because I want my name to be called by handsome men.
If possible, I wanted Master Kuroki to call me by name too but, he might refuse since he was such a diligent person.
On the other hand, for some reason, the female selkies had already calling Master Kuroki by name.
Well, since Master Kuroki is such a diligent and honest person, something like that wouldn’t be enough to move his steady mind.
Thus, I had no worries about him.
「Uhm. Thank you, I shall try it out. A~h.」
I ate the sweet right away.
I received it directly from the selkie’s beautiful hand.
The sweets made from honey taste much sweeter than usual. Yeah, it’s the enhanced effect of handsome men after all.
Inul and co were literally naked, wearing only earless seal’s skin around their waist.
Since more than half of their bodies were exposed, it truly was eye candy.
My heart couldn’t help but skipped a beat every time I thought that I might catch a glance at their bazonga.
「Muhha――――!!」
I was starting to breathe heavily.
Well, I’m aware of that of course.
Inul and co were looking at me with sparkling eyes.
They definitely expect me to slay the Kraken.
Honestly, I really wanted to apologizing to them.
But, even if I didn’t do anything, Master Kuroki would definitely slay the kraken, right?
I mean, even My Dear father hailed Master Kuroki as the strongest Dark Knight.
Maybe, except for my dear father, master Kuroki was the only one whose brute strength could rival mine.
Yeah, there absolutely no problem to leave this matter to Master Kuroki.
Thus, I could enjoy my sweets.
Suddenly, the mansion shook.
It seems the aspidochelone suddenly stopped in its place.
「W-WHAT’S HAPPEN?!!」
Thereupon, Master Kuroki came in hurry to me while holding a small selkie in his arms.
This young selkie kept rubbing their nose on Master Kuroki’s face, behaving like a spoiled child.
I’M SO JEALOUS!! CHANGE PLACE WITH ME!!
「Your Highness. I detected a gigantic living being came to our direction. Let’s prepare for battle.」
Master Kuroki bowed to me as he explained the situation.
「I-Is that so?! Is it the kraken we’re looking for?」
「I don’t know. But, most probably a Kraken. I’m sure that Liburm-dono and Ezasa-dono has already preparing to intercept that giant sea creature. That’s why prepare yourself for battle too, Your Highness.」
「Eh? Me too?」
「Eh?」
At that moment, Master Kuroki and Me were looking at each other with puzzled looks on our faces.
That moment, I finally remember.
I did give my promise to the selkie to beat the Kraken.
I’m so vexed since I easily got carried away.
「AH! YOU’RE RIGHT! LET’S GO!!」
Thereupon, I prepared for battle and left the mansion along with Master Kuroki.
Upon arriving on the top of the head of aspidochelone, demon dragon general, Liburm had already been waiting for us.
「Welcome, Your Highness and Your Excellency. Ezasa-dono has already made the preparation with his fleet.」
Liburm kneeling in front of me and reporting the situation.
When I looked forward, the orc’s fleet led by Ezasa had already standing by.
When I looked at the sea beyond, I couldn’t see anything special on it.
「Your Highness. Please close your eyes first and focus your mind to feel the sea blow. You should be able to do that.」
Master tapped my shoulder while carrying the young selkie in his other hand.
My heart skipped a beat when Master Kuroki tapped my shoulder.
「Yes, Master.」
I close my eyes and focused my attention on the ocean.
Thereupon, I noticed that my perception was widened.
I knew that something big was coming in front of Ezasa’s fleet.
It was quite a big creature.
It was pretty much impossible for Ezasa and co to stop that.
「General Liburm! Please tell Ezasa-dono to retreat! They can’t stop that!!」
Master Kuroki stepped forward after entrusting the young earless seal to the female selkie.
「What are you trying to do, Master Kuroki?!!!」
「Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll stop that fella.」
Master pushed his hand forward as he spoke. At that moment, Master Kuroki’s body unleashed extremely powerful magical power.
Everyone gasped in awe upon feeling that powerful magical power.
「WHAT THE?!!」
「Amazing…」
And then, that magical power was fired toward the giant monster that was charging toward us from the front.
Giant water spray appeared in front of Ezasa’s fleet.
「「「Snake?」」」
Everyone couldn’t hide their shock upon seeing the being that came out of the water spray.
The giant creature that came rushing toward us turned out to be a sea serpent.
