City of Slumber Chapter 23

Miriam, accustomed to being attacked by Rocca Smiles (allies), was leading the way downstairs humming a song.
Shiver.
Ahead of us was the wriggling plant making eerie sounds.
Lier.
It's an enemy appearing from this floor, it fights with three tentacles.
What's more, a tentacle can restrict not one, but two people!!

"Hi!! Gyaaaa!!"
Miriam scream and tried to escape from disgustingly moving ivy plant but was caught from behind and restrained.
"Gya!! Noooo!!"
"Armand!! Hurry downstairs!!"
"Wait!! It's tough to descend in armor…"
A knight's armor is heavy.
Hence, in combat Armand and Henry attack last.
Obviously, moving quickly is impossible.

"Gyaaa!! No moree!!"
A wet ivy is tapping Miriam's cheek.
H, how I should I react here!?

Let Miri-chan go!! (jealousy)
Miriam, are you okay!? Help is coming quickly!! Armand, hurry up!!
Miri-chan panties are visible… (stare)

No good, I feel all are wrong…!!
Especially jealousy, what!?
Being jealous of a weed…?
Somehow, I don't understand my reasoning anymore…

With the ivy plant twining around her, her panties as well as the outlines of her well-shaped breasts are completely visible.
At last now that Armand descended I'll follow him.
"Ooh!!"
It was inevitable!! And, with my rod I knocked down Armand who was staring at her panties.
If Lier's core is hit there should be a reaction, but in this situation if I approach it I'll just share Miriam's fate.

"Kyaaa!! Nooo!! Help meee!!"
Alice carries a lightweight bow with poisoned arrows on her back, but it won't be a laughing matter if I miss.
But, I pretended to intimidate it.
I pulled out an arrow and took the bow in my hand.
"Kyaaa!! Stop!! Alice-chan, don't aim at me!!"
Miriam is crying so much it's not even funny.
On the other, the plant is swaying as if making a fool of me.
This guy!!

"Alice, stop it!! I'll go help Miriam!!"
Henry, like a prince, unsheathed his sword and rushed to save the princess.
"I'll save you!! Miriam!!"
Truly a prince.
Lier grandly extended its ivy to threaten Henry, but he didn't falter!!
And then… the second person was up!!

"S, stooop!!"
He's a splendid uke…
Just like Miriam, Henry screamed when his cheek was rubbed by the ivy.
He's a wonderfully struggling dog… No, a prince.

"Kh!! What should I do…!!"
Armand doesn't look like he'll approach it, he's rooted to the spot.
"Alice, what about attack magic!?"
"Both of them will be caught in it"
"It can't be helped!!"
Armand faced the last tentacle holding his long sword and charged.
It must save one tentacle for attacking, the remaining scattered under assault.
Seeing Armand fighting a tentacle, I stealthily approached the core using one of its many openings.
I hit it with my rod using all my strength.
"Gugaaaa!!"
Lier screamed and dropped Miriam and Henry.
The next moment, I took out the grimoire and enveloped its body in flames.

"Sniff, sniff"
"You won't do anything stupid anymore?"
"I will not…"
"You will be a good child?"
"I will be a good child…"
I scolded the sobbing Miriam.
I wiped her cheeks many times with disgust.
After touching the tentacle, her thighs and arms feel revolting, I had to touch them to wipe her.
"Isn't it fine already. I trusted you, Alice!! Look, there's a room there!! Doesn't it have a bath as well?"

We arrived at our destination.
To manage this chaos, it's better to let this spoiled child bathe quickly.
By the way, is Miriam really seventeen…?
This child!?
Perhaps, with her big breasts she's faking her age…?
She's quite an idiot… Umm, honestly, rather than being an idiot, isn't she an oddball…?

Waai, bath!! With her in high spirits, I'm wondering so looking at the back of a strange creature in the shape of a girl.
Perhaps, she's a stranger creature than the ivy plant?
Maybe if I wait she'll turn out to be a fairy or an imp…
And I'm messaged by such a creature every day…?
I don't understand how my life will turn out from now.
