Ch.346Authorized NPC (2)

[-Occupation: Ira’s Brother- Level: 391 Name: Jack. Age: 21.]

[Strength: 1211+100]

[Agility: 1433+100]

[Luck: 200MAX+100]

[HP: 54,362]

[MP: 0]

[Intelligence: 7]

That bastard Gor, I’ll deal with him later. First he calls me his master, then throws me with full force? Thanks to him, my HP dropped by almost 40,000.

Ugh, my head hurts. This feels familiar… Ah, it’s like when I face-planted into the barrier set by the Spirit King at the Academy. Wait a second. My level went up? Why? I haven’t been able to level up fighting only undead until now.

“My, my… *hiccup*! Everything… *hiccup*!”

After skimming through my status window, I look back at Ragni. She’s blushing as if she heard something embarrassing, crossing and uncrossing her legs nervously. Hmm, my HP did decrease a bit like Gor said. But I don’t think the Emperor was the one who did it.

[-Occupation: Imperial Emperor- Level: 26 Name: Edmund Bluemoon Ottoman. Age: 45. (Frenzy)]

[HP: 46]

With this level, there’s no way he could have done anything to Ragni. Rather, with such a low level, it makes sense that he was brutally killed by Ragni when she rebelled. But with only 46 HP, that’s even lower than Ira when she was level 2. Looking at his HP, which would be fatal from just tripping on a rock, I wonder if I accidentally pushed him to the brink of death. Well, I did want to prevent my father-in-law from dying at Ragni’s hands, but I didn’t exactly plan to kill him myself.

“Ragni, your father looks like he’s about to die. Can I give him a potion?”

“*Hiccup*! …No, leave him. Let him die.”

“That person is the anchor for the barrier. If he dies, the barrier will disappear too.” After saying that, Ragni quickly composed her flushed face, sighed, and looked away.

As expected, Ragni has no hesitation about killing her father. But still.

“Alright, so I’m just doing this because I need him alive?”

“…Huh?”

I pour a potion into the mouth of the Emperor who’s collapsed with foam at his mouth. Hmm, I guess his original HP was around 500.

This was just a verification. I never intended to let my father-in-law die yet. I don’t know much about the story that comes after clearing ep.5 since I always skipped it all.

[(!)Sub-Quest – Deliver a certain item in the Empire to Ragni Bluemoon Ottoman.]

[Reward: Something will be unlocked.]

The status window, these quests that keep appearing to tell me something—they definitely know something. I dismiss the sub-quest window that popped up as soon as we arrived at the Imperial Palace and lay the Emperor, whose HP has recovered, nearby. Hmm, that’s done. So, where’s the ep.7 boss?

“…How absurd. Are you praying he’ll escape when he wakes up?”

“Excuse me?”

-Tap!

As I’m looking around, the Chancellor sighs deeply and taps his staff on the ground. The debris around us gathers and binds the Emperor’s limbs like handcuffs. Oh, magic really is convenient.

“So, what are you looking around for? Searching for this country’s Prime Minister that you blasted away?”

“Huh? There was a Prime Minister?”

“There was.”

“There was.”

When I tilt my head in genuine confusion, both Ragni and the Chancellor sigh and point in different directions.

Huh? Is that… a person? Oh, a status window appeared. Wow, is that thing alive?!

“Yes, surprisingly, it was a person.”

“…That must be dead.”

“No, he’s alive!”

“”What?””

[-Occupation: Imperial Prime Minister- Level: 207 Name: Irade Salver. Age: 56. (Critical Injury)]

[HP: 4]

Good heavens, his status shows he’s alive with 4 HP and a critical injury. His arms are twisted behind his back, legs pretzel-like, neck dangling as if protesting its own fracture, and his entire body is spewing dark red liquid darker than the wall color—but he’s alive. That thing is still alive!! Wait, his HP dropped to 3!!

“Q-quick, let me give him a potion too…!”

“How and where exactly would you feed it to him?”

“It would probably go in through his mouth and leak out through his cheeks?”

“Um, Chancellor, don’t you have any healing magic?!”

“Sigh. Wouldn’t it be fine to let them both die?”

“…No. The Prime Minister needs to live. We can’t just kill the person responsible for reducing the Empire to this state and simply report it to the people. No one would accept that.”

While Ragni had said it was fine for her father to die, she now rationally argues that the Prime Minister should be kept alive. The Chancellor sighs so deeply it seems like he might bring down the palace, then summons a high-level spirit and casts healing magic and spirit arts on the man with a wave of his staff.

Wow, impressive! His neck is back in place! His HP is even recovering rapidly, almost up to 1,000!

“No need to restore his limbs. I’ve healed him just enough to keep him alive. No potion necessary. Tsk, what a waste of mana.”

The Chancellor binds the Prime Minister, whose status has returned to (Severely Injured), with debris and places him next to the Emperor. Ugh, up close he really looks like he’s in excruciating pain.

“Well, we’ve captured all the leaders of this country. Now, only the one who fell underground remains.”

“The one underground…? Could it be someone from the Holy Nation?”

“Hmm? How do you know that?”

“…I see. I thought it was strange how unusually strong you were. So that’s what it was.”

Unlike the Chancellor who questioned me with curiosity, Ragni immediately understood and mouthed to me, ‘Past life game? Boss-level?’ I confirmed with just my eyes. Well, he’s a boss that comes after you, so he’s much stronger.

“…What, why are you two suddenly communicating with your eyes? Something I can’t hear?”

“Well, yes. It’s difficult to explain right now.”

“Hehe! That’s right, it’s a ‘family secret.'”

After our eye-conversation, Ragni throws herself at me and hugs my arm boastfully, her soft breasts enveloping my arm.

Whoa, wait. I knew she had fully grown into the true Queen of the game, but this is… I thought I’d gotten used to Reina and Gor snuggling up to me at night, but this is a completely different weight class! If Rei and Gor are heavyweight, Ragni is definitely super heavyweight…!!

“…Tsk. A mere instructor getting in heat.”

“Hmph. If you’re jealous, you could get a man too.”

-Squish!

“…Ragni, doesn’t your clothes feel tight?”

“Hmm? You think so? My chest has been feeling tight lately. I should have lost weight from all the hard work recently, but somehow my chest feels heavier.”

“Actually, my shoulders have been aching too. I might need to change my underwear.” After saying that, Ragni, with her breasts still pressed against my arm, started squeezing and lifting her chest with one hand. Why is she doing this while pressed against my arm?

“Hehe. You’re going to strip me bare anyway, right? Isn’t that what you told my father?”

“…That’s true. Fine, do as you please.”

My agreement seems to have surprised her. After teasing me first, Ragni’s face turns red, and when I chuckle and pat her head, she starts making strange “Uwaaa…” noises. Geez, I really can’t let these girls go now. I’m seriously going to devour them all someday. Be prepared.

“So. Where is the guy from the Holy Nation? If you fought him and dropped him underground, did you figure out how to deal with him?”

“Yes, I figured out how to counter his magic that steals the opponent’s time. However, a problem arose afterward.”

“All attacks turn to dust. Buildings, objects, even magic, spirit arts, and the magical bullets from my gun—everything turns to dust.”

There seemed to be no solution, but the Chancellor cleverly managed to drop him down for now. After explaining that, Ragni stepped back as if escaping from my head patting, but I followed and continued stroking her head. Where do you think you’re going?

“Just do one thing at a time. I can’t stand watching this anymore.”

“Ahem. Sorry. Ragni started teasing first.”

“…It’s not teasing. My lower abdomen is throbbing so badly I could die.”

“”……””

When I continue patting her head to the end, Ragni looks at me with serious, glistening ruby-red eyes, and I unconsciously withdraw my hand.

It’s not that I dislike her gaze or what she said to me. It’s just that she’s looking at me so seriously that I got scared she might pounce on me right now. Um, Ragni? Let’s calm down? The Chancellor is right here?

“…I’ll deal with you later, I’ll definitely make you take responsibility.”

“Die from being squeezed dry.”

Why?! Why is she suddenly saying that to me?! I already feel like I’m going to be squeezed dry at this rate. Even the Chancellor is glaring and clicking his tongue at me, so I give them an indignant look.

Come on! I’m still inexperienced, you know?! I’ve just been holding back all our girls’ feelings, and now I’m finally being a bit more receptive!

“Tch. What do you want me to do? I didn’t ask.”

“…When this is over, I’m definitely going to have at least two children.”

‘…Oh, shit.’

It seems Ragni has made up her mind quite firmly. This is troublesome…
