Chapter 184 - Plansect Village Tour

They reached the Plansect Village and entered the forest.

Alraune: Plansect is now a village of peace and harmony. Priestess became the new Plant Queen and was co-ruling along with Queen Bee, like before. Nobody has complained about anything so far.

Dryad: I beat up a whole group of angels. I tied them up with my ivy, then I started teasing them…

Then she turned from green to blue and her tone changed.

Dryad: And now we've accepted some as immigrants into the village. I hope we can be good friends…

Marco: ...Multiple personality… Let's leave…

Alra Arum: Even though we're at peace, I'm still looking for some excitement… Luckily, I found something perfect. I think I'll take Mosquito with me next time I head to Grand Noah… I heard that the champion of the Colosseum was a cute boy…

Marco: Woman, I am the champion… 

Alra Arum froze and sweated cold.

Alra Arum: P-Please forgive me… 

Marco: *Sigh*

Alra Rooty: I haven't been hanging out with Arum as much recently… It looks like she's hanging around with Mosquito a lot more instead. Mmmm… So lonely…

Marco: 'Welcome to social life.'

Marco and Alice saw a mushroom monster taking water to three carnivorous plants.

Alra Mash: Here's some water…

If Marco listened closely, he could hear heartbreaking voices coming from the carnivorous plants.

Raffia: Sisters… Shouldn't we just give up already? Let's just accept the peace, and let them undo our seals for good…

Diana: Hmph… I'll never accept peace. A mercenary is meaningless in times of peace!

Dorothy: I'm so sick of water… Even a beetle is fine, I just want to eat!

Alra Priestess: When our villages unite, we can overcome any hardship. Hopefully the beast never comes again…

Marco: What beast?

He tried to fake his curiosity, already knowing what she was talking about.

Alra Priestess: You weren't there…

Marco: 'I was the beast…'

Alra Priestess: ...The beast was made completely of dark energy and was shaped as a fox-

Marco: Did it have 8 tails?

Alra Priestess: No, it had 4 tails and was around the size of a human.

Marco: I already killed it, that shit was as big as a mountain when I met it, the Kyuubi, right?

Alra Priestess: Yes, and thank you to have killed it, the survivors of our village had some doubts about his whereabouts, and knowing that it is dead will relax them… About the previous Queen Alraune, she is a bit fine, so you don't need to worry, in some years she will be healthy, even if weaker than before.

Marco: Ok.

Merchant: I stopped by here a while ago. It was terrifying back then… But it's a nice place now. They buy a lot of various female clothing here. And the honey and medicines I purchase here are great sellers in other towns.

There are also rumors going around about merchants opening up permanent stores here, now that it's peaceful. All of us merchants are hoping to get a piece of the action.

Alice: No matter the times, merchants truly are the harbinger of cultural interchange. Perhaps one of the best ways to bring about coexistence is to promote trade…

Marco: 'Nope, I'm not talking with a spider…'

Mosquito Girl: We suck blood just like vampires… Why don't we have that cool, mysterious image like they do!? The noble monster of the summer… Mosquitoes!

Marco: More like a truck-sized nail in the buttcheeks…

Caterpillar Girl: I wonder when I'll grow bigger… I won't… Stay like this forever, right!? Maybe it's because I'm so picky about food… Starting tomorrow, I'm eating vegetables as well as fruit!

Marco: What the fuck were you eating until now!?

Queen Bee: You must be the person who saved the village during the war, on behalf of every insect in Plansect Village, I am grateful to you and your actions. 

Some time ago, since I reconciled with the Plant race, everything became better, there was no useless fight or violence, and we could get resources faster. Maybe I should give some credits to the Kyuubi, if the beast wasn't here, this would never have happened.

Slime Girl: I'm living here while Undine's Spring is being purified! Yaaay, yaaaaay! I love plants and bugs!

Marco: Oh, hey Undine. You are here too?

Undine: This village is the closest one to my spring, after all. I go there every day to purify it… But it will take years before it's done.

Marco: Be lucky that it can still be purified.

Undine: You are right. However, there's no need to rush it. Perhaps there is no need for a refuge for Slime monsters now…

Right now, a Slime Girl, a little human girl and the Caterpillar Girl passed nearby, playing tag.

Slime Girl: Yaay! Yaaaaaay!

Girl: Ahaha, run away!!

Caterpillar Girl: Wait, wait!

Marco: Well… At least my job wasn't useless…

Undine: I expect great things from you, Marco.

Marco: There is nothing to expect from me, everything is already done, you just need to let the time flow… I already did my job as a Savior.

Erubetie: You came all the way here just to see me, Marco...

Marco: It was just a pure coincidence…

Erubetie: ...I'd like to have a nice, long talk with you. But first of all, I hope you can forgive me for killing you…

Marco: No, this is not something that can easily be forgiven and forgotten…

Erubetie's head lowered in shame, before Marco continued to talk.

Marco: However, I will not hate you…

Erubetie: Huh?

Marco: What, you didn't listen? I will never forget the thing, but at least I will not hate you… Now what did you want to talk about?

Erubetie: ...I wanted to talk about wet, sticky coexistence between humans and monsters. Won't you please come in the Monster Lord's Castle to me?

Marco: Another time… I have many things to do, and being tricked into being raped is not one of them… I already know what you wanted to do.

Erubetie: I see… That's too bad… Truly a pity...….

She started to intensely stare at Marco, who looked back with a poker face. Some minutes later, Erubetie left, making Marco sigh in relief.

Marco: Let's go to Grand Noah, the queen has the reward for me!

Alice: *Sigh*

Then Marco and Alice left on Diane's back to Grand Noah.
