Chapter 46: Royal capital to Demon Capital

Royal capital ~ Demon Capital　

According to Satya, it would take a month for a human to reach the Demon King's castle on foot.

The exact number of days is unclear, but even in the game it took a really long time to reach the Demon King's castle, so there's no doubt about it.

Along the way, you'll encounter demons, solve problems along the way, and defeat monsters...

However, the fact that there are so many side quests is also a factor in this.

There are many rewards, such as items and equipment, which makes it even more tempting to take a detour.　

In addition to that, our protagonist Alto will help people regardless of their race, whether they are demons or not, as long as he can communicate with them.

If things go as planned, it will definitely take a month.　

Well, the standard way to enjoy the game is to progress through these and slowly head towards the Demon King's Castle.　

That's what I would normally want to do, but...

Unfortunately, there are circumstances that prevent me from taking things slowly.　

I haven't been feeling well lately.

I often feel sleepy and lethargic.

My appetite also decreased.

The other day, I just ate two bowls of the prepared extra-vegetable Jiro style ramen and was full.

I also became more easily drunk.　

The bags under my eyes became more noticeable and my nipples became discolored.

Well, I was able to get rid of the dark circles with healing magic and return my nipples to a nice pink color.　

I try my best not to appear pretentious to my friends, but I can't stand them seeing how pathetic I am.

I have to play the ideal saint and villain to them.

For my goals.　

I will hurry as much as possible until this unexplained illness is resolved.　

So let me skip some of the journey.　

The heroes left the royal capital to head to the Demon King's castle.

The journey was bound to be long.　

"So, everyone, I have something to tell you."　

Once they passed through the outer gate of the royal capital, outside the walls, Tiana began her conversation.

"What a surprise... You're not thinking of something weird again, are you? You perverted, damn sexy, busty saint."

Satya responded, clearly suspicious of Tiana's statement.

"Satya-san... please, please stop calling me that..."　

"Shut up, whore! You've messed up my sexual preferences..."　

"Did you just say something?"

"Shut up!"

Satya blushed and turned her face away from Tiana.　

"Well, well, well...that's about it for you two. So, Tiana, is there anything we just left on?"　

For the umpteenth time, Alto had to intervene, interrupting the comedy act between the saint and the demon.　

"That's right, Tiana usually says the most outrageous things at times like this. I already know that. I'm sure you think the same, Erina."

"Yes, I think so too. Well, I'm curious about the contents though."

Tiana felt a little depressed at the unexpected comments made by her two lovers.

"Actually, there's a really good way to travel to the Demon King's castle. If it goes well, everyone can arrive together in a day or two."

"What?! There's such a means of transportation?!"

None of Alto's party have mastered the highly advanced magic of teleportation.

So they were surprised.

"Yes, that's true. But it wouldn't work without Alto-san."

"Me? I can't use that kind of magic. How on earth would I..."

"Just to see what happens. If it works, we'll get there in no time, so let's give it a try!"

"Well, I don't mind."

"So, as a first step... let's have a mock battle. I'd like you to be our opponent, Satya-san."

"Hmm, a test of skill. Very well, I'll see if you can achieve an audience with the Demon King. Against me, one against four is no big deal."

By nature, Satya is a combative character.

So Satya gladly accepted the offer.　

Since it was a mock battle, Alto, Tiana, Asha, and Erina took up positions in battle formation.

Opposing them is the demon general Satya.

This was the first battle since the one at the fort.

At this point, Tiana makes a request to her allies.

"Everyone, please ******* when the mock battle begins."

"Huh? That's not a mock battle..."

Immediately after that, Tiana rushed over to Satya.

"Now, Satya-san..."

Tiana began whispering to Satya.

"Wh-what's with you, you perverted saint? Let's start the mock battle now! Argh! Don't get close to my ear, it's disgusting!"

"Are you sure? If you don't follow my instructions, I will all expose Satya's ***** and ***** to the Demon King."

"Y-you bastard... how do you know that..."

"Well, I wonder how? Come on, hurry up, or I'll tell everyone."

"...I see...that's true. Sorry, Alto, but...I'm going to kill you all. Especially you, the perverted, shitty saint! I'll definitely kill you after sewing your mouth shut!"

"Aha! It looks like Satya-san is getting serious! I did it! Now, Alto-san, Asha-san, and Erina-san, do your best to keep up with me! Alto-san, run as fast as you can! Please!"　

"Wh-what is this, Tiana?! Isn't this a mock battle?"　

"Alto-san, running away is also a good mock battle. Come on, let's run away! It'll be fine, even if Satya-san catches up with us, we'll just get killed! Ahaha!"　

"You damn saint! I should have killed you completely back then! I'm going to kill you...kill you completely! I'll kill you before the Demon King hears!"　

Satya approached Alto and the others with a demonic look on her face.

Unable to resist, Alto and the others run off.　

"Tiana, I'll force an explain later!"

"I have nothing to do with this! Why are you involving me! Tiana, get ready, I'll get back at you!"

"Damn, Tiana! You're such a pervert, forcing me to play like this!"

The three of them vent their frustrations to Tiana, but she runs off as if nothing happened.　

"Hehe... that's fine. As long as we reach our destination safely. Now, everyone, please follow me!"　

A life-threatening game of tag began, with Satya as the hunter.

Leading the pack is Tiana, a racer with superhuman running ability.

Following her was Alto, then Erina and Asha.

Meanwhile, Satya is approaching them from behind, looking even more murderous than when they met at the fort.　

At this time, Alto's hidden skill, "Escape," was activated.

The conditions for activating this skill are to flee from the enemy and to secure an escape route.

Its effect is to increase the movement speed of all party members, including the player's own, to a certain level.

*Satya is not included in the party due to the mock battle system, so she is not eligible for the skill.　

Without even realizing that such a skill was in use, Alto and the other three desperately chased after Tiana, who was ahead of them.

Naturally, they had no time to worry about the direction Tiana was running.　

・

They ran for their lives.

The scenery changed and they passed several villages.

All sorts of things must have happened during that process.

But they didn't have the luxury of worrying about that.

Behind them, a pursuer with absolute murderous intent is chasing them at full speed.

So they followed Tiana as fast as they could.　

They don't know how long they ran.　

Before they knew it, everyone except Tiana was exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

Even Satya, the pursuer, had her hands on her knees and was breathing heavily.　

"Congratulations everyone! We've arrived in the Demon Capital! Can you see it? That's the Demon King's Castle... Wait? Seriously... everyone has no stamina... Satya-san is pathetic too. Weren't you going to kill me?"　

"Haaah... Haaah... Why... Haa... Haa... Back then... I was able to go from the Demon King's castle to the fortress with you... in the blink of an eye..."

"Ah, well... when we returned to the fort. I was in a hurry at the time... so I was the one who cast a strengthening spell on Satya. Were you not aware of that? Are you stupid?"

"Haa...haa...if you can do such a thing...wouldn't it have been better if you...cast strengthening magic on everyone!"　

"The effects of strengthening magic are added and multiplied by the target's abilities. Even if I strengthened Alto-san and the others, they wouldn't be able to reach this speed. The key this time is Alto-san's escape skill! Oh, maybe it should have compensated for the stamina, tehepero ♡"　

"Zeh... I'll kill you... I'll kill you someday... I'll humiliate you and then kill you... I'll rape you... Ugh..."　

Satya lost all her strength, leaving behind a curse.

This is what it means to see the demon capital littered with corpses.

Thus, the hero and his party arrived from the royal capital to the demon capital in less than a day.

Tiana had no choice but to use healing magic on all the members, including Satya.　

When they regained consciousness, they made Tiana sit upright and lectured her.

Tiana was surrounded by the three and scolded, so she shrugged her shoulders and cried.

If the church's higher ups were to see such a state of their cardinal, the highest ranking member of the church, they would surely faint.

Seeing Tiana behaving so childishly, Satya felt a little better.

And she felt lustful for her pathetic state.

All four of them vowed to take revenge on Tiana in the Demon City.

Specifically, they vowed to get her drunk and rape her until she was completely destroyed.

Their bond grew stronger with Tiana.
