Symphony for the Insect Princess

Aisia still covered her mouth with one hand, and with the other she pulled out a specially made high-explosive grenade.

At that time,

The biggest shock so far hit the City Lord's Mansion.

The upper floors, including the roof, were all opened, reminiscent of the funny scene of opening a can.

It was a worm, an extremely huge worm, with a body diameter of twenty meters, stretching its body in front of the stunned Aisia.

Then, without any warning, he suddenly rushed towards her!

Chapter 90: One and a Third Stage (I)

Time returns to the present——

"That's pretty much it."

After finishing her brief explanation, Aisia leaned weakly against the ruins and sighed deeply.

She only explained the necessary details to Sedroon and Charlotte, such as how she was an alchemical creature, how she had killed her father with a trick, and how she loved Nairis to death. These were either not mentioned at all or only briefly mentioned. She only emphasized that the City Lord's Mansion was attacked by a swarm of insects, and that she was pushed forward by this super-giant worm.

Charlotte listened to her statement carefully, but Setroon looked as if he didn't care and it was unclear whether he listened carefully or not.

But it's understandable, she is busy with more important things.

“…Done! Tsk, when was the last time you used healing magic on someone?”

She, who had been casting spells to heal Qimila, stood up. The blue halo gradually disappeared, and the big hole in Qimila's wrist that was pierced by the vines had healed.

"You really do know everything, Sedraon."

"It's just healing magic. If it were just healing the wound, it would be easy. The problem is the massive blood loss. I %￥#%@#￥#@ and then!%!$!@#$ apply!$#!@^%$ theory and then @#%#$%@, so it's solved for now."

Sedraon explained in an impatient tone, and a question mark appeared above Charlotte's head.

"…What and what and what and what?"

Charlotte didn't understand at all, but Asia responded.

"Eh? I thought you were going to use mainstream $%$#@%$#@%methods combined with &%#^#%$^theory."

"Ha, it's called the mainstream method, but it's just a joke. It's really not as efficient as the *^%&$%^&$$@#^@# method."

"It's quite old-fashioned, but isn't it precisely because this method is difficult to master and promote that it's gradually being replaced by &&%^#$^#?"

"It's not difficult once you find the trick. You can also make some modifications yourself, such as omitting the %$#@%$ part in the chant, and changing the &^% in $$@#%#@ to $)&..."

"...Um, excuse me, but could you please speak to me in a language I can understand?"

"Huh? Aren't you the Demon King's wife? Didn't you inherit his vast knowledge? How come you don't understand?"

"The knowledge he gave was mostly stored in the form of 'subconscious'—ah wait, don't say that out loud!"

"...The Demon King's 'wife'? Do you mean Lady Charlotte? Did I hear it wrong?"

Asia blinked in confusion.

I originally thought that I would only encounter some passerby-level characters.

Unexpectedly... these two women seem to be from important backgrounds.

This Sedroon has a nasty personality and a strange fighting style, but he's clearly very talented. Is he a tiger with a heart that can smell the rose? No, but a rose with a heart that can smell the tiger? That doesn't seem right either.

And what about the other Charlotte? A necromancer, she didn't seem as fierce and aggressive as Cedroon, but she wasn't a pushover either. And what was the situation with the Demon King's wife? A joke between friends?

"A joke between friends?"

"I'm not friends with her."

"To be precise, it's a temporary teammate."

"... Could it be that they're temporarily teaming up for the great secret treasure?"

"Yeah... huh?"

Thinking of something, Sedroon's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you, you're the city lord's daughter, right?"

"That's right..."

"The three investigation teams are all staying at the City Lord's Mansion, right? You're so close to them, haven't you discovered anything? Like, eavesdropping on the clues they're compiling?"

"Unfortunately, they are all secretive. Not only me, but even my father's efforts are in vain. What's more, he is dead now."

"Heh, it seems this isn't your biological father? Could it be that you've been xxxed by a ghost father?"

"Nothing like that... You're really outspoken."

"That's just the kind of person he is..." Charlotte said to Asia with a wry smile.

Looking at them like this, Asia began to think again.

Since he had decided to follow the trail of the great secret treasure outside the City Lord's Mansion to look for Nairis, it was obviously impossible for him to do it on his own. Putting aside his strength, the amount of information he had was overwhelmingly insufficient compared to those who had been fighting outside.

So at this point, forming a team is a must.

Teammates cannot be too weak, otherwise they will only hold the team back.

You can't be too powerful, otherwise you will only become a vassal.

And most importantly, we have a comprehensive understanding of the situation and have a lot of valuable intelligence.

It seems……

"Just to confirm, Miss Charlotte, Miss Cedroon, are you guys a temporary team?"

"Yes."

"I have a humble request... Can I join you?"

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other, and then each began to consider their own thoughts.

Sedroon simply narrowed her eyes and turned away, seemingly showing no interest at all, but Aisia could see that she had carefully considered the matter and made the best decision for herself, but she looked absent-minded because she was thinking so quickly.

Charlotte, on the other hand, was thinking seriously with her hand on her chin, obviously prioritizing safety. It was also obvious that her way of handling things was much more tactful than that of Cedroon, and she was also considerate of other people's feelings.

If you look at it this way, you can get a general idea of ​​their personalities...

After a few seconds, Charlotte spoke again: "...I believe that as long as a capable person like Miss Asia is truly willing to cooperate with us, then we will definitely be able to get along well until our goal is achieved."

...I see. That's a very moderate answer. I'll accept it for now. He didn't say anything too definitive. It's obvious that he has carefully considered the various risks involved.

And Sedraon—

"Well, whatever. One more is not too much and one less is not too little."

It sounds like a casual response, but upon closer inspection, it's a bit creepy. "One more or one less" can mean either "It doesn't matter if you join, so if you want to, just join. We have no objection." It can also mean "If you dare to drag us down or even cause trouble after joining, we'll kill you. Anyway, you're not much or little." It has two meanings.

They all have hidden agendas and are not easy to deal with.

But Aisia was relieved.

(Well...compared to a complete schemer or a complete pushover, this kind of person is more suitable as a partner.)

"Okay, then I will--"

“Meow…..meow…..it’s morning already?”

Asia, who was about to conclude a temporary cooperation agreement, was interrupted by a sudden cute and soft voice.

Sedroon and Charlotte were also stunned and looked in a certain direction at the same time.

Not long after being healed by Sedroon's healing magic, the girl, Qimila, who had been lying on her side, rubbed her eyes and slowly woke up.

"Hmm... Panties Panties..."

She slightly opened her hazy eyes, curled up her body, bent her legs, and slowly reached her hands towards her ankles, feeling and feeling, but she felt nothing.

"...Huh? Panty's not here... not here... where did he go...?"

So she takes off all her underwear when she sleeps? But if she's holding her underwear, why is she touching her ankles? Does she kick her underwear off when she sleeps? How can she do such a difficult move?

"Panty, Panty... Never mind... Water... Water..."

Chapter 91: One and a Third Stage (Part )

"Panty, Panty... Never mind... Water... Water..."

So the first thing he does after waking up is drink water? What a good kid with good living habits.

"Water...water...strange...no water?"

She leaned forward, her hands scratching around, just like a cat arching its body to stretch out its claws to catch something floating around, which was quite cute.

"... As for water, there's some here."

Aisia took out a container that looked like an ordinary sports water bottle from her space ring, opened the lid, and handed it to Qiumila, who was still unconscious.

"Thank you for your tribute... Meow..."

Tribute?

"Well... you're welcome... I'll drink~"

She poured the entire bottle of water into her mouth with an unladylike gesture, and then—

"Gulp, gulp... eh? Mmmmmmmmmmm!? Gulp--cough cough cough cough cough cough!!! Ugh... huh... uh ...

Qiumila jumped up from the ground as if she was equipped with a spring. She jumped around, opened her mouth wide and gasped for breath. She kept fanning her mouth with her two little hands, chattering non-stop. Her face was flushed, and even her hair stood up, perhaps it was an illusion.

The container fell to the ground and the liquid inside flowed out, scarlet red.

"…………Pepper spray?" Charlotte came over and asked quietly.

“It’s highly concentrated.”

"it's not good……"

"I can't be sure if she's a friend or foe."

"This is just a simple prank."

And Sedraon—

"Haha ...

"Stop laughing... Give her some fresh water to rub her lips."

Three minutes later——

“Murder… Ugh…”

Qimila sat on the ground with tears in her eyes, hugging her knees, her lips and eyes were red.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but this is the only way to wake you up immediately. Let's not talk about the small talk, Miss Qimila, I believe you still recognize me, right? We were having a tea party just now."

"You-ah!"

Qimila opened her eyes wide.

"You... Miss Aisia? Why are you here? Haven't you been staying in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Some trouble has occurred, the City Lord's Mansion has already...

“Uh, sorry…”

Aisia had a gentle smile on her face, Charlotte also looked kind, and Sedroon had no smile on his face, but the overall atmosphere he exuded was still relatively gentle.

While Aisia held the grenade tightly in her knitted coat pocket, Charlotte silently wove a necromancy circle, and Sedroon was ready to draw her sword and chop people down at any time.

"Rather than that, I'd like to ask you what happened, Miss Qimila?"

This girl is dangerous.

Extremely dangerous.

Even though the risk factor seems to be close to zero now, no one can guarantee that she will not show her vicious side and kill people in the next moment.

"My concubine, what happened...?"

Qimila was stunned.

The dull expression lasted for a few seconds, then gradually turned into pain.
