Ch.101The Queen’s Message

And the event message was as follows:

—————————————-

<Event>

<The Queen’s Message!>

<The Queen of Monsters has finally agreed to accept your proposal.>

<Of course, due to the nature of monsters, there wasn’t a separate meeting like with other factions.>

<What matters is that the Monster Queen has decided to form a secret alliance with the ‘Pirate Union’ according to your proposal.>

<Since this is still a ‘secret’ alliance, she has clearly drawn the line that neither the Pirate Union nor the monsters will directly help if the other side preemptively invades another faction.>

<However, separately from that, she seems to have evaluated that you, as the Commander, deserve more ‘trust’.>

<Therefore, she has decided to make special arrangements to strengthen the body of ‘Oxianor’, your assigned intelligence terminal.>

<This will allow for more support to be provided to you.>

<Faction Trust +30 from ‘Space Monster’>

<Current Trust Relationship with ‘Space Monster’: +55>

—————————————-

‘Woooooah.’

Our Queen Monster is more generous than I thought.

I never expected her to give +30 trust just like that.

My original plan was just to make our pirate quests easier through an alliance between Marian and the Pirate Union.

Of course, in the midst of all this, turning Oxianor—one of the few male characters(?)—into a naked TS beauty made me seriously wonder what the hell they were thinking.

‘Damn it, my gentleman uncle!’

But since my wailing wouldn’t change anything in the world.

Instead of throwing a tantrum, I shook my head and decided to focus more on the ‘reward’ that had come to me.

And at this point, I suddenly remembered that when trust exceeds 50, quite sweet rewards are given to users.

Since human memory is truly meaningless.

Before I forgot this fact, I immediately tried to open the trust function table.

But before I could do that…

Because Griyanar was sticking to the TS-beamed and now-female Oxianor like a sticky, intimate slug.

“I-Icarus, please stop Griyanar!”

“Hufufufu… When would I ever see such a precious test subject again? I’ll just take a tiny, very tiny sample… ufufu.”

“Don’t do this, Griyanar! Aaaagh! Icarus! Jessica!”

“…”

Oxianor was desperately calling for my help as if facing a crisis of chastity.

But unable to pay attention to such things, I hurriedly opened the trust-related function table to check.

—————————————-

<Common Trust Relationship Functions by Faction>

<0>-<None>

<1~10>-<Chance of generating friendly messages and events>

<10~15>-<Quest assignment begins>

<15~25>-<Additional quests and events occur (resource support, etc.)>

<25~50>-<Ability to recruit ‘Superhumans’ from that faction> (Lower rank than ‘Superhumans’ from gacha.)

<50~70>-<Fleet rental available>

<70~99>-<Various friendly events randomly generated, increased probability of occurrence>

<100 and above>-<Ability to receive quests directly from faction leaders, greatly increased support items, increased rank of recruitable ‘Superhumans’> (Details vary by faction, please refer accordingly.)

<Monster Faction Exclusive Trust Relationship Functions>

<10 and above>-<Next 2 trust levels viewable>

<30 and above>-<Regular monster breeding ground construction available>

<50 and above>-<Special functions related to biological modification unlocked>

<70 and above>-<???>

<90 and above>-<???>

<100 and above>-<???>

—————————————-

And through this faction table, I could now roughly understand what I could obtain.

‘Let’s see, now… these are the functions available to me?’

Of course, the common function of recruiting faction ‘Superhumans’.

And now, albeit just barely, the ability to rent a ‘fleet’ had become possible…

While this greatly stimulated my romantic heart.

Right now, there was something even more important to me than that.

<50 and above>-<Special functions related to biological modification unlocked>

‘Oh.’

Now that the function I’d been aiming for when choosing the ‘Monster’ faction was unlocked.

I felt inwardly pleased, and then.

“Commander, at this rate, Oxianor seems like she’ll melt under Griyanar’s hands.”

“Ah.”

I naturally gave Griyanar, who was trying to conduct human experiments on the Monster faction’s envoy, a righteous flick to the forehead to defuse the situation.

“Quiet down!”

“Kyaa!”

==========

Anyway, after suppressing the chaotic situation.

We took time to reorganize the situation in a much calmer atmosphere.

And of course, this included Oxianor who was no longer in ‘monster-style nakedness’.

But instead wore neat attire reminiscent of a formal suit with a frock coat.

And even a ‘top hat’ commonly known as a silk hat on her head—Oxianor ver.TS was present.

Just that Oxianor’s clothes weren’t literally ‘clothes’ like what we wear.

But rather a kind of living mimetic symbiote worn like clothes, so there were strange things protruding here and there.

It was quite concerning to me.

But the person in question…

“Ah, Icarus. Please don’t stare so intently.”

“…Hmm.”

“Although I was certainly shocked to suddenly have this body without any warning…”

After saying that, she stood up, slightly raised her arms, and twirled around once.

Then, stopping while rolling her shoe-like something on the floor, she spread her gloved (or something that looked like gloves) hands to the sides and said:

“Isn’t all this ultimately because the Queen judged this form to be most suitable for me?”

“…Hmm.”

“Then, as a matter of duty in our sovereign-subject relationship, and as one who upholds the will of Mother Queen… it’s only right that I accept and adapt to this body.”

“Hmm.”

Whether this should be seen as positive or just resignation and giving up.

It was quite questionable to me.

But anyway, since the person concerned declared there was no major problem, I decided not to worry about it anymore.

Or more precisely, I couldn’t worry about it even if I wanted to.

—————————————-

<Event>

<The Envoy’s Secret>

<Oxianor herself believes that her Queen formed this body shape because she judged it most suitable for her…>

<But in reality, the Monster Queen’s side determined that a charming female form would be better than a male or non-human form to show goodwill toward you.>

<They simply transformed Oxianor, who was mentally closer to male, into a female monster form.>

<And they are trying to use the transformed Oxianor as a kind of honeytrap.>

<Of course, even if you don’t fall for it, as mentioned above.>

<They thought it would be enough to appear friendly to you, and since ‘mental terminals’ like Oxianor can be mass-produced.>

<They are willing to deploy similar other ‘mental terminals’ if you need them.>

—————————————-

When such an extremely black company-like content suddenly popped up.

With my fragile mentality, I simply couldn’t treat Oxianor badly even if I wanted to.
