Ch.241That Day’s Different NPC. (6)

It was all because of that fucking tentacle nun. She made me kill Cheonma, who was just an accident victim, with my own hands. She also made Miho kill my father in a grotifying way.

“Let’s see how long you can hide.”

After comforting the dejected Miho by stroking her head a bit more, I stare into the fog. I can’t sense the creature’s presence, but I can definitely feel its gaze still watching us. It probably needs to deactivate its power to escape, but then that massive tentacle mass would be visible to me, so it can’t run away.

“…Jack?”

“Huh?”

“Um… who are you fighting right now?”

After neatly folding(?) and arranging my father’s body, Miho, somewhat recovered from my comfort, asks me this question. I briefly explain the current situation.

“So, that woman over there is Lust of the Seven Deadly Sins. And there’s a follower trying to steal that demon’s power, and that demon is using the Seven Deadly Sins’ power?”

“Yeah.”

“Jack, don’t tell me…”

Huh? Why suddenly? Miho starts giving me that same suspicious look she had when she first met me. As I tilt my head in confusion, she sighs softly and continues.

“If what you’re saying is true, then the solution to this situation is simple. You know that, right?”

“Huh? Really?!!”

I have no idea, but does Miho know the solution? Then, can you tell me quickly?!

“…That demon. Just kill that Seven Deadly Sin and it’s over. You said she’s absorbing that woman’s demonic energy, so if the Sin dies, the follower won’t be able to use that power anymore. You said she won’t kill her until she absorbs all of her power and abilities, right?”

“Ah…”

“Hiccup?!”

Luxuria, who had moved some distance away while talking to my father, hears Miho’s words and starts hiccupping in shock. I quietly look back and forth between her and Miho. Ah, wait, so that’s what Miho’s look meant…?

“Sigh… Big breasts, slim waist, pretty face. And she’s looking at Jack with adorable, tearful eyes. I really hope I’m wrong, but…”

“…Um. Is that not okay?”

Damn, Miho’s becoming so perceptive that she’s turned into a true intellectual. She gives me a look that says, ‘Are you seriously asking that?’ and it stings more than I expected!! Wait, weren’t we originally here to get Luxuria?! You knew that too!! Besides!! You were the one who told me about this!!

“…There are already five of us, and now you want to add a demon, making it six. Jack, no matter how much my sister and I love you, honestly, we can’t handle it if you go into double digits.”

“Ah, um… I’m sorry. That part is… Hey, I promise! I absolutely won’t go into double digits!!”

“Not going into double digits means you’re prepared for up to nine…?”

No, that’s not what I meant! Haha! This is karma!! Even though the women have accepted the harem, the numbers do tend to increase exponentially, don’t they? Miho’s reaction is perfectly normal. I was already worried about how to explain Miho and Chikuyo to Reina and Ragni, and now I’m talking about living with a demon too, so I understand why Miho is giving me that look.

“Hiccup! I, I heard earlier, f-five? Six? Is, is that cute and pretty beast-person over there also Jack’s woman…? Hiccup!”

“Not ‘also’!! We were his females first!!!”

“Eep!!”

Luxuria, who seems to have finally recovered from her aftereffects, starts speaking, but when Miho growls at her showing her fangs, she cowers and responds from a completely submissive position. Hmm, it seems the hierarchy has been established? Anyway, fighting among ourselves won’t improve the situation. For now…

“Sigh. Alright, I’ll protect that demon.”

“Okay. Please do. By the way, where’s Chikuyo?”

“…Ah, sister… Ahem. We’ll talk about that later…”

-SWOOSH!! BOOM!! CRASH!!!

“Ugh?!!”

“Kyaah?!!”

“This fucking…!!!”

Just as Miho starts moving toward Luxuria, massive tentacles suddenly rise from the ground without warning and swing toward us. Has she finally grown tired of hiding, or is this her last desperate move? Either way…

“Too late, fucking nun!!!”

-BANG!!!

“Miho!!!”

“Got it!!”

As I kick and burst a tentacle, Miho starts running through the opening I created and quickly reaches Luxuria’s side. Good, the tentacle monster may be level 600, but Miho, whose level has risen to nearly 400, won’t be violated by mere tentacles if she uses her beast transformation. I just need to focus on the enemy’s attacks…

-CRASH!! BOOM!! BANG BANG BANG!!

“Ha! What’s this, another mass attack? Or is this really all you can do? Wearing a fucking habit and pretending to be a strategist, but you’ve got no talent!!”

Dozens of tentacles rise and surround me, but I deliberately raise my voice to provoke the enemy. It’s easier to block and deal with attacks directed at me rather than at Miho or Luxuria. And as if following my thoughts, the creature’s tentacles begin to attack me from all directions.

-POP!! CRACK!! BANG!! THUD!! BOOM!!!

“Come on, come on! Did I just catch the fucking nun’s tentacle? If I pull on this, will you get dragged out too?!!”

“!!”

I easily deflect what would have been an overwhelming assault for my past self, then grab a tentacle that looks just the right size to hold with one hand. I can sense the creature’s surprise through the tentacle. Moreover, the other tentacles are now attacking the tentacle I’m holding rather than me—it seems like it really would get dragged out if I pull!

“Just so you know, don’t think you’re going to die peacefully.”

Thanks to Miho’s actions and Luxuria’s reactions, I’ve been pretending to be calm on the surface, but inside I’m boiling with rage like molten lava. This bitch dared to raise my innocent father and Cheonma, who was just an accident victim, as undead, forced me into a confrontation with them, and then used my father at the end. How could anyone not be angry after going through all that?

-CRACK!! BOOM!!!

“Y-you crazy human?!!”

“Oh my. Finally I can hear your voice? Do you want to be dragged out like this, or do you want to maintain your dignity until the very end?”

As I start pulling on the captured tentacle with just enough force to not tear it, I can hear the fucking nun’s panicked voice. Well, looking at the situation, it seems she didn’t actually plan to control my father or Cheonma. If she had, she would have used my father first to corner me, rather than those pathetic zombie-leaf idiots, and attacked with other undead.

Our house happens to be just one mountain away from here, so my father’s corpse must have gotten caught up in this. Even if she didn’t know, just controlling my father is enough reason for you to be drawn and quartered!!!

“Nggghhhh!!! You crazy!!! Grabbing a woman’s leg…!!!”

“That’s bullshit. How is a tentacle a woman’s leg? Just because an octopus is female, there aren’t many sexual deviants in the world who would fantasize about it being a woman’s leg.”

I pull on the tentacle while the others resist. Even the tentacle I’m holding resists strongly as if it doesn’t care about being torn apart, but it’s no match for my precisely controlled strength, and gradually the end of the tentacle starts to appear… huh?

“Huh?”

“Ahahahahaha!! You’re so stupid, you fell for it!!!”

At the end of the tentacle I was pulling, there was only a withered man with a swollen belly as if pregnant. Is this a monster breeding ground? And the direction of the voice has changed too?!! After killing a small but level 200+ monster that emerged from the lower opening of the man who had become a breeding ground, I turned my head toward the direction of the voice. Wait, this direction…!!!

“Mmph!!”

“Nggmph!! Mmph!!!”

“Miho!! Luxuria!!!”

“Aah!! That was really dangerous. But now the situation has completely changed, hasn’t it?”

In the direction opposite to where the tentacles had been distracting me, hidden by the exploded corpses, tentacle remains, and growing tentacles, Miho and Luxuria were captured by the main body of the fucking nun, their mouths gagged. The moment I saw this, my blood began to boil. This fucking bitch?!!

“Ah, don’t move, okay? You’re not stupid enough to not understand the situation, right?”

-Slither!!

“Mmmng!!!♡?”

“Hmmnng!!♥?”

-Freeze.

Tentacles extending from the ground rub between Luxuria and Miho’s legs and between their cleavages, moving as if to show they can do whatever they want to the women at any time. I’m forced to stop, and the fucking nun’s mouth corners rise as if she thinks she has the upper hand.

“Fuheheheh!! How fortunate? These women are precious to you, right? Ah, when my information and calculations were wrong, I really thought it was the end, but when your father got involved, you showed human-like vulnerability after all.”

“……”

After meeting my father in such a way and then parting again in that manner, I was trying to stay as calm as possible. But I was definitely burning with rage.

Until now, I had never once chosen to leave my women in dangerous situations, but now I was moving recklessly because I wanted to smash that fucking nun’s face. Shit, it was such a stupid choice. Miho was already exhausted, and I thought she could handle it with her beast transformation? I’m such an idiot, a complete fucking idiot!!!

“Haha, what should I do with this? I’ll take Luxuria, but this beast-person, I don’t need her? What should I do? Should I show you how she becomes a breeding ground for my tentacles…?”

-BOOOOOM!!!!

The moment she touched Miho’s breast with a tentacle and her crotch with her hand, I couldn’t contain my rage anymore and slammed my fist into the ground, creating a crater. At my sudden attack, nearby tentacles burst from the shockwave, and the tentacles binding Miho and Luxuria also either tightened around them or burst.

“Y-you’re crazy?!! Have you lost your mind?!! How can this woman…!!!”

“One, I admit you’ve won this situation. But if you touch Miho any further, I will tear you apart by any means necessary. I’ll kill you, resurrect you, and kill you again. I’ll turn you into a monster breeding ground and make you a mindless monster factory for the rest of your life. I’ll even make a contract with a demon to tear your soul apart and torture you.”

I cut off the fucking nun’s words and say only what I need to say. It’s truly disgusting and infuriating, but what I need to do right now is not obediently listen to that fucking bitch.

“Y-you’re not in a position to propose anything to me…”

“And you’re not in a position to threaten me either. I can kill you faster than your tentacles can strangle Miho to death. I’m only holding back because Miho might get hurt in the process. So secondly, leave Luxuria and Miho where they are and get out of here. Do you want to live? Or do you want to hurt my women even if it costs you your life?”

-Crunch.

As I speak through gritted teeth, the fucking nun seems momentarily flustered, her demonic eyes trembling, but she quickly composes herself and begins to speak.

“…How can I trust you? The moment I move away from these women, you’ll obviously kill me.”

“You’ll die either way. I’ll save both of them no matter what, but if you refuse, they’ll just get badly hurt.”

“……”

I’m serious. Bursting that level 600 fucking tentacle in one blow is not impossible for me. I’ve already run simulations of killing that woman over a thousand times in my head, so I’m certain. The only problem is that Miho and Luxuria would get seriously hurt in the aftermath. I continued to glare at the fucking nun who had fallen silent, and finally she seemed to come up with something.

“One leg. Break one of your legs. Then I’ll release Luxuria.”

“…What?”

“And once Luxuria returns to you, break your other leg, and I’ll release this white tiger beast-person too. Then you won’t be able to chase me, and I’ll have time to escape. How about it?”

Exchange both my legs for those two. Hmm, so this is what a pretend strategist fucking nun comes up with? Certainly, with only one leg left, I’m confident I could kill that bitch if I went all out to save Miho. But with both legs broken, there’s no way I could chase after her if she runs away at full speed.

Moreover, if she releases Miho first, I could actually just go all out at that point, even if Luxuria gets hurt. She is a Seven Deadly Sin after all, and if that woman dies, her healing ability would return, so even serious injuries would heal in a few days. But with the order reversed, a forceful breakthrough is impossible. Damn, this bitch is smart.

“If you trick me, you die.”

-CRACK!!

“Mmmmph!!!”

“Mmmmph?!!!”

As I swing my fist and break my left leg, Miho and Luxuria, their mouths wrapped with tentacles, scream. Hey, hey. I’m the one who wants to scream. Don’t scream, you’re scaring me.

“…Ha!”

-Slither!!

“Cough! Hah?!! J-Jack!!”

The tentacles binding Luxuria loosen, and after she collapses to the ground, she calls out to me. I immediately wave my hand, signaling her to come to me. However, as if her strength has left her waist, Luxuria just sits there, calling my name. Sigh, hurry up, woman.

“…What are you doing? Let’s go quickly.”

“Jack! Jack!! Waaah!! I’m sorry!! I’m sorry!!!”

The fucking tentacle nun starts pushing Luxuria away with her tentacles, looking annoyed as Luxuria cries with her demonic eyes glistening. If Luxuria just stays there, is she afraid of how I might react? Anyway, that’s one…

“I, I. ‘I’m sorry my daughter is such an idiot’!!”

“Huh?”

“What??”

-FLAP!!!

Luxuria, who just said something incomprehensible to everyone present, rises from her spot, flapping her torn wings.
