Chapter 127 - Defeat the Third Prince
"Hmm, so if I kill the Third Prince right here and now, it’s mission complete?"
"Eh?"
"Alright then, let's just get this over with—"
I gripped my pole and started to step forward, but Tamagushi clung to my waist, desperately holding me back.
"Wait! Did you not see what just happened?! You cannot defeat Gangastra in a head-on confrontation!!" she pleaded.
"Why not?"
"His skill, [Molecular Decay], is an invincible offensive ability! No skill or 'Divine Calling' can defend against it! Even you, Sir Sao, would be turned to dust instantly if you faced him without a plan!"
If his skill truly acts on the bonds between molecules, then she’s right—there’s likely no way to defend against it. Standard skills aren't designed to handle combat on a nanoscopic scale.
But that doesn’t mean I can just sit tight. If I say, "I'm not feeling it today, let's try next time," I'd fail as a protagonist. If there are people suffering because of that idiot Prince this very second, then hesitating here only prolongs their agony. To allow that would make me an accomplice to their suffering.
I must deliver divine punishment to that vermin leader as quickly as possible. The question isn't how to save them. It's when.
"Your resolve is noble, Sir Sao, but a reckless charge with no certainty of success is mere folly. For the sake of those suffering under Niosebuk, you must realize this is a battle we cannot afford to lose!"
"It's not a problem as long as I don't lose."
"Kyahhh?! Such groundless confidence, yet it’s unshakable...!"
While we were bickering, the Third Prince had already made his exit. He must have headed back to the castle. Tsk.
"Anyway...! We can't even begin the fight until we deal with that [Molecular Decay]. We need a strategy...!"
"Hmm...?"
"And rest assured, I have already prepared a plan. If you follow it, you will be able to execute that pest of a Prince."
So you had a plan all along.
Fine, I suppose a detour is acceptable if it gets the job done. They say the longest way round is the shortest way home. To those suffering in Niosebuk: hold on a little longer. Speed is vital, but certainty can't be ignored. And if it's cheap and tasty, even better.
"Sir Sao, I need you to infiltrate the Royal Castle of Niosebuk and find 'something' hidden there. It is the key to defeating Gangastra."
"Something...?"
"It is called Harp."
Harp? Like the musical instrument? Probably not. Given the context, it sounded like a crucial plot item. If it were just a harp, she’d probably use some grandiose title to make it sound special. Like "The Harp of Ra" or something.
"Harp is hidden somewhere within the castle and possesses immense power. If you can release it with your own hands, it will surely become the trump card to strike down Gangastra. Not only that..."
Tamagushi continued. "...The strange phenomenon of the wind stopping around the capital is also connected to Harp. If you release Harp, that problem will be solved, and everything will begin to move in the right direction. Sir Sao, for the sake of the innocent, please prioritize the infiltration."
Tamagushi knelt before me. How did she become so well-versed in all of this? And I don't mean 'well-versed' as in 'ejaculating for the first time'—I mean knowing the details. The castle is the heart of the nation. To know its secrets so intimately, wouldn't she have to be an insider?
The more Tamagushi knows, the more suspicious she becomes.
"Now, Sir Sao, if we are to hurry, we must enter the castle immediately. I have already arranged the means for our entry. Come!"
She was almost too efficient. But her proposal was sound, and having no better ideas, I had no choice but to follow. Harp... I didn't know what it was, but if it was the key to taking down the Prince, I couldn't ignore it. For now, I’d play the part of a pawn in her script.
But, of course, I added my own personal touch.
"Sir Sao... ahhh! ❤️❤️ To think you would infiltrate in such a manner...! ❤️❤️"
Currently, Tamagushi and I were once again joined—penis to vagina. In other words: sex.
My skill, [Sex Sneaking], which only activates during intercourse, renders both me and the woman I’m with invisible. Originally, it was a skill for enjoying outdoor sex without worry, but it’s incredibly useful for infiltration missions like this.
And so, Tamagushi was currently panting and moaning as my penis thrust into her crotch. [Sex Sneaking] also mutes all sound, providing complete silence. High performance indeed.
"Even so... to have sex in the dead center of enemy territory... ❤️❤️ You are completely insane! ❤️❤️ I had already prepared a perfectly good infiltration method...! ❤️❤️"
"You said that earlier too."
I didn't want to leave everything entirely on the tracks Tamagushi had laid out. I decided to veer off the path, even if just a little.
"Besides, you're happy to be violated, aren't you?"
"Yes... ❤️❤️ Having your cock inside my pussy makes me so happy... ❤️❤️ My pussy feels so good! ❤️❤️"
After the 'training' of the last few days, Tamagushi had successfully fallen into being my dedicated flesh-toy. To have my penis inside her, she’d go naked and spread her legs anywhere, anytime—and she found ultimate joy in it.
"No one can hear us right now. Why don't you vent everything you're holding inside?"
"Ahhh! ❤️❤️ Sir Sao, you are such a beast! ❤️❤️ You want me to expose all my lewd and shallow parts, don't you? If that is what you wish, then gladly...! ❤️❤️"
While still joined to me, Tamagushi took a deep breath, and as she exhaled...
"Everyone! ❤️❤️ This Tamagushi currently has Sir Sao’s cock buried deep inside her pussy!! ❤️❤️ I have become a mere lump of flesh for Sir Sao’s sexual relief!! ❤️❤️ My only value is my pussy!! ❤️❤️ My pussy feels so good! Because the greatest cock in the world is inside it!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️"
She shouted at the top of her lungs. Normally, someone in the busy castle would have surely heard her, but [Sex Sneaking] blocked every sound. No one noticed.
"Pussy! ❤️❤️ Pussy, pussy, pussy! ❤️❤️ My pussy belongs to Sir Sao alone! ❤️❤️ I swear it here and now! My pussy is for Sir Sao's use onlyyyyy!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️"
She sounded like a woman who had abandoned all shame and ended her life as a respectable person. But I could tell—she was still holding onto her reason by a single thread.
The proof was in the sex itself, the trigger for [Sex Sneaking]. To ensure the skill wasn't deactivated, she had her legs wrapped tightly around me. Since we were in the "carrying" style for easier walking while thrusting, she had a firm grip on my waist, clinging to me like an octopus. I could see her iron will: 'I will never let go,' 'I will not fall into hell alone.'
"...There is an area in the castle where no one but the Third Prince is allowed to enter. It is in the basement. It is highly likely that Harp is hidden there."
"I see."
"Sir Sao, let us head to the basement just like this. Truthfully, I could never find a way into the basement area, but with your ability, we can enter easily."
As long as we’re having sex, no one can find us. My 'selfishness' was working out quite well. Following Tamagushi’s lead, we descended into the depths of the castle. While having sex.
"...This is deep."
We entered the castle basement, and I was shocked by how far down it went. Two thousand steps? It felt like the underground arena from Baki. What were the Niosebuk royals thinking, digging this deep under their own castle? I’ll never understand the minds of these monsters.
"I have heard that the Niosebuk castle basement is the mausoleum for the successive generations of the royal family," Tamagushi said.
She was walking beside me as we descended the stairs. Since there was no sign of anyone in the basement, I had deactivated [Sex Sneaking], and we were walking normally. She looked a little disappointed about that.
"The kings of Niosebuk, who ruled this land in the past, built this tomb so their influence would never fade even after death. They wanted their spiritual authority to inhabit the living kings, so they built their resting place to overlap with the king's residence..."
A tomb for kings... thinking about it gave me the chills. However, as we moved deeper into this underground space, a sense of wrongness began to grow. I started seeing designs that didn't look like a royal tomb at all.
"Are these... iron pipes?"
There were valves, what looked like electrical panels... things that didn't belong in a fantasy setting. Steampunk, maybe? Regardless, it definitely didn't fit the world.
"I heard that Gangastra ordered a large-scale renovation of the deepest part of this mausoleum recently. He supposedly desecrated the graves, dragged out the remains of the past kings and threw them away, and installed... something in the empty space."
"Well, that’s one way to disrespect your ancestors."
But it sounded just like Niosebuk. Why would they expect to be respected after death when they lived their lives without a care for anyone else? The miscalculations of the dead didn't matter to me. The real question was what the Third Prince had installed here, even if it meant digging up his ancestors.
"Is it related to this 'Harp'?"
"Almost certainly. Let's move forward."
We descended further and further, finally reaching what seemed to be the end. The iron pipes had increased in number, tangling together in a complex web that looked like the entrails of a living creature. And at the end of all those pipes was the object of our search.
A large, transparent glass cylinder. Inside this capsule, which looked like something a mad scientist would build, something extraordinary was sealed.
"What... is this?"
The entity sealed within the capsule looked like a living thing, but it was far too transparent. It was a swirling current, glowing like an emerald, spiraling inside the glass. In its depths, I could faintly see the shape of what looked like human features.
...It is rare for anyone other than that madman to visit this place.
"IT SPOKE?!"
So it is a living thing? This misty thing inside the capsule?!
How interesting. You already possess two blessings, yet you seek to gain power from me as well? How greedy.
What did it mean? But then, I realized. The two crests on my body... the ones given to me by the spirits of Fire and Earth. Which meant...
"You're a Spirit, too...?!"
What, did you descend all this way without knowing? Then let it be known. I am Harp. I am Harp, the Spirit of the Wind.
