Manowa Chapter 265

「My boobs have increased.」

Kazane now had double breasts. It seemed that『Boobies Plus』was a Skill designed to suit the taste of a gentleman with a specially advanced fetish. She had the option to choose how many extra pairs of breasts she wanted, but that choice only caused Kazane to shed tears. Then she stealthily cancelled the Skill before it was seen by anyone. She swore in her heart to never touch that Skill again.

Now that Kazane was finished checking the Skills she had obtained, she immediately slumped to the side and fell asleep. Jinrai was similarly collapsed and asleep next to her. He didn't move with even a single twitch. Yumika and Tiara were also lying down next to Naoki.

The other companions weren't with them, but they seemed tired. Even if they mostly hadn't participated in the battle, getting mentally tired after surviving that dangerous battle couldn't be helped. But Lyle and the others who had mostly not directly participated in the battle were currently outside with the Tatsuyoshi-kuns to collect materials and dispose of the monster corpses.

It would be quite dangerous if monster corpses of that class were left alone and either turned into zombies or caused evolutions to monsters in the vicinity from their meat being eaten. Immediately dealing with them was required.

In any case, that was the current situation. One hour had already passed since the battle with the Odanobunagas. Kazane had summoned the Cottage next to the highway that had become a battlefield and prepared the living room on the first floor as a resting room. The ones with fatigue and injuries like Jinrai and Naoki were laid down there, and the rest of the members were out collecting materials.

It was already changing from noon to evening, and they would eventually need to fulfill their original purpose of going and seeing the situation around Regen's Big Tree. So they had decided to stay the night here and not return to the village today.

And even though she wasn't a party member, Chloe was also outside collecting materials. She was currently skinning an Eliminator Monkey. As befitting her status as Jinrai's older sister, Chloe was a plucky woman, but there was still a limit. She couldn't even remember how many times she had been surprised today, but she still couldn't help being surprised once again when she had seen the sight of a building suddenly descending out of nowhere some time ago. Everything was already incomprehensible. It would be much easier to believe she was dreaming.

Also, it was to a much lesser extent, but she was surprised by the sharpness of the black knives they were using for skinning. She was told that they were made from the processed fangs of a dragon they had defeated previously. The knives were smoothly cutting though the Eliminator Monkey skin that even a steel sword wouldn't be able to pierce. Chloe was in a cold sweat as she worked due to the sharpness of the knives and the violent intimidating air the blades gave off.

After that, the sleeping Kazane, Yumika, and Naoki woke up, but although Yumika and Naoki's medical treatment was finished, they weren't at their best. To play it safe, Yumika and Naoki were made to rest, and only Kazane, who had fully recovered due to Regenerate, went to participate in material collection. In the evening, material collection was completed... rather, they were out of time, so the collected material was placed in the Mysterious Warehouse. The remainder was burned with Tatsuo's Flame Breath and Kazane's Fireball.

Also, Jinrai didn't wake up that day.

According to Sieg, Jinrai had stepped into the domain of peak spearmanship, but using it had placed too much strain on his body. As he was disappearing, Sieg said that he would probably recover from his fatigue and wake up the next day, and it would certainly turn out that way.

Next: itemization of the collected material. As a matter of fact, Eliminator Monkeys and Odanobunagas were fundamentally monsters that didn't leave the Dark Forest, so they weren't considered monsters that harmed the general public. It would be different if an event like what happened this time was a frequent occurrence, but at the present time, there would be no subjugation reward. Therefore, taking subjugation proof from the Eliminator Monkeys wasn't necessary, so only the skins and fangs from corpses that weren't too damaged were taken before they were disposed of.

Since Odanobunagas had humanoid shapes, their hard exoskeletons could be used as armor with only minor processing. Their katanlike claws could also be processed to become high level weapons, so everything was collected. Though the ones defeated by Kazane and the Berserk Ogre were severely damaged, so it seemed like handling those would be difficult.

It was also lucky that the King Odanobunaga's carapace remained in its black and gold shining Dairokuten Maou state. Minor processing would change that into a Dairokuten Ōdachi and Dairokuten Armor, which were part of the Devil King series of armaments.

The other Odanobunagas would also change into armaments with high ability from the Nobunaga series, which would become a fortune if they sold them.

And this time, the most valuable material was the item『Dairokuten Maou's Blood Gem』taken from the interior of the Queen. It was a blood-red sphere that provided the power for the Queen and King's unioned Dairokuten Maou mode.

That provided power that rivaled a B class dungeon's Heart Orb, and Kazane did a dogeza to her companions until (although saying until, the dogeza was simply Kazane's arbitrary action, though) they decided to give it to her.

From the start, the defeat of the King and Queen was largely due to Sieg and the Berserk Ogre, which were Kazane's powers. Jinrai was the other person who had rendered distinguished service, so as long as he didn't say no, her companions thought it would be fine to let Kazane have it.

And after the Eliminator Monkeys were cremated, Kazane and the others entered the Cottage. After checking to see that Jinrai still hadn't woken up, they had dinner. The next day, a few people led by Yumika went to accomplish their original purpose of investigating Regen's Big Tree while the other members, including Kazane, sorted the materials.

By the way, Odanobunaga meat was highly toxic due to Magic Particles, so Kazane discarded everything except a part of the Queen that『Ingredient Connoisseur』identified.

◎ Hyvern Dukedom, Dragon Claw Highway, Inside Kazane Cottage

『Those were dreadful monsters, Mother.』

Kazane was currently lining up and organizing the materials on the roof of the Cottage with the remaining members. Kazane was wiping off the Dairokuten Maou's Blood Gem, and Tatsuo was beside her as he recalled yesterday.

Kazane replied「That's right」to Tatsuo's words before continuing,

「Husband would be able to win even if he was against a Dairokuten Maou, though.」

Kazane wasn't particularly saying that out of partiality to her family. Kazane's unwavering belief that Naga with his original power would win was partially due to simple difference in strength, but there was also a compatibility issue.

A Dairokuten Maou Odanobunaga was specialized in interpersonal combat, so it lacked the firepower to deal with God Dragon Emperor Naga. Naga had stamina and defensive power similar to this time's conspicuously active Berserk Ogre, and even though the Odanobunaga King was able to slice through that defensive power, Kazane's prediction was that Naga would be able to simply bulldoze through and win.

While it was certainly an opponent the average Adult dragon wouldn't be able to make a dent in, in a one-on-one fight, it was questionable if it could deal with a Four Guardian Sword class dragon as its opponent. If the dragon could use Fire-type Breath, they would have an even easier time, so Red South Season Dragon Suza could be called the natural enemy of the Odanobunaga species. One of the reasons they struggled this time was that Kazane was the only one who could use Fire-type magic.

『Which reminds me, speaking of Father, the rainbow light Father used when Mother brought him out was amazing. So that is Father's true power.』

Tatsuo referred to the summoned God Dragon Emperor he saw in the last fight against the Queen.

「Yeah, that's right. Husband was cool, wasn't he?」

It was only for a short time, but that was the true power of the God Dragon Emperor. By the way, since Dragon Spirit hadn't accumulated yet, the only thing the summon could do right now would be something like a partial summon Husband Punch.

And while thinking of God Dragon Emperor Naga, Kazane looked at the『Dairokuten Maou's Blood Gem』before her and giggled.

(Wait for me, Husband. Your wife did her best.)

Kazane started polishing it.

「Fufufunfu～n, Husband～, Husband～, my beloved Husband～, wait just a little more, Husband～」

Kazane left herself to her mood and sang another incomprehensible song, and Tatsuo cried Kuee Kuee Kuee in rhythm beside her while shaking his tail.

Behind them, Chloe said「Husband? So she's at the age to be dreaming about that?」The girl was... THAT in various ways, but Chloe had finally learned that she had an adorable desire, so it was a heartwarming scene for her, but if she had known the truth, that certainly would have been overturned. Sometimes it was better to not know the truth.
