Jikuu Mahou de Isekai to Chikyuu wo Ittarikitari Chapter 237: Konbu Maki

「Seiji-sama!」

Elena shouted worriedly.

Without an opening being created for her to splash the【Curse dispelling potion】over to Yurie-san, Elena was in dire stress too.

I have to do my best to create an opening to Yurie-san here……

I have to, but……

It’s no good.

I have to greatly avoid the tentacle attack more than necessary at any cost.

This is the courage to take another step!!

I resolutely took a step forward toward the incoming bunch of tentacles.

『Here it goes!!』

『I’m gonna treat you with L.O.V.E!』

The moment the katana and the tentacles collided,

I put the katana back into the inventory and slipped under the bunch of tentacles.

And then, I hold the bunch of tentacles with both hands.

It’s totally like……

like a『konbu maki[1]』tied up in a bundle with『kanpyo[2]』……

『Kyaa! What are you doing with a young maiden’s important part~?!!』

Yurie-san screams.

As I’ve said so, what important part!?

「Elena! Now!!」

「Yes! Seiji-sama!!」

Elena controlled the【curse dispelling potion】with 【water magic】using this chance―

and splashed it over to Yurie-san’s face!

『Kyaa! What this!!?』

Yurie-san was surprised at the facial-cumshot[3] and pulled the tentacles back in her skirt.

「I did it, Seiji-sama.」

「You did well, Elena.」

I was going to hug Elena, but……

I was dodged by Elena.

「Why did you dodge, Elena?」

「Because……Seiji-sama……」

When I look carefully at my body―

it had become sticky with the liquid that smells like a rotten cheese.

I see, it was during the konbu maki strategy a while ago……

It can’t be helped, let’s put off hugging Elena for later.

『Guwaaa—!!』

When such a thing happened, Yurie-san began to suffer.

When I looked carefully, a black smoke shrouded from her face together with the sound of something melting and sizzling.

After Yurie-san writhe for a while, she collapsed and stopped moving.

「Is she alright?」

「She’s certainly fine since the curse has just removed.」

While we were watching attentively,

Yurie-san’s mask came off and fell down on the floor.

When I used【Appraisal】, Yurie-san’s『curse』had disappeared.

「Yes! The curse is dispelled.」

Elena who heard my words quickly rushed up to Yurie-san.

「It’s alright, Seiji-sama.

Yurie-san doesn’t have any injury.」

「Is that so! That’s good.」

Yurie-san seems to have expended magic power, and just asleep.

「Seiji-sama, let’s carry Yurie-san to my room.」

「Ou, leave it to me.」

I wiped the sticky juice smeared on my body,

wrapped Yurie-san in a bath towel,

and took her to Elena’s room in a princess carry.

———-

There was a new bed placed in Elena’s room.

The King probably prepared a new bed for Elena when she comes back.

「Oi, Seiji!」

When I was thinking who it was, the King willfully barged into Elena’s room.

「What it is, King?」

「What ‘what is it’?

Other than such a thing, what are you going to do with that woman!?」

「I’m not going to do anything, just nurse her.」

「That woman is the enemy who attacked me, you know?!!」

「Otou-sama, you’re wrong!」

Since Elena objected suddenly, the King was surprised.

「This Yurie-san is an important friend of mine!

She was manipulated by the devil-kin!

She’s not an enemy!!」

「I-, Is that so……」

The King flinches at the so angry look of Elena.

Oops, I forgot the other woman.

「Elena, I’ll leave Yurie-san to you.」

「Yes, leave her to me.」

「King too, don’t bother Elena.」

「Don’t order me.」

Sigh, the king wasn’t helping~.

———-

When I came back to the audience room, the woman with a shield was still unconscious.

I endured the sticky bad smell and performed a physical check-up on the woman.

When I took off the woman’s hood, she has two horns as expected.

She’s a devil-kin after all.

And then……

She had【Magic stone of confusion inducement】,【Magic stone of confusion erasure】, and【Magic stone of suicide】in her person.

┌─＜Appraisal＞────

│【Magic stone of confusion inducement】

│One can induce confusion to a person.

│It’s necessary to draw near during the inducement.

│Rarity: ★★★★

└─────────

┌─＜Appraisal＞────

│【Magic stone of confusion erasure】

│One can erase the confusion of a person by pouring magic power

│while having bodily contact.

│Rarity: ★★★★

└─────────

┌─＜Appraisal＞────

│【Magic stone of suicide】

│One can commit suicide by pouring magic power,

│completely obliterating the body, and one’s belongings.

│Rarity: ★★★★

└─────────

These are nothing but dangerous magic stones.

The story I can see from these three was……

1. Act together, and manipulate Yurie-san.

2. If the strategy fails, kill Yurie-san.

3. Then she will commit suicide, destroying the evidence.

Such a flow was my hypothesis.

Incidentally, the black shield was―

┌─＜Appraisal＞────

│【Shield of everlasting darkness】

│A shield which cancels magic invocation,

│but can’t block physical attacks.

│Rarity: ★★★★

└─────────

It was as such.

I put the shield and the three magic stones away into the inventory,

and tied the hands of the devil-kin woman behind her back.

Then, Lyle Gewalt entered while gasping for breath.

「King-sama! Are you safe!!?」

「If it isn’t Lyle Gewalt.

Did you only shamelessly appear now?」

「S-, Seiji!!

What of King-sama!?」

「He’s safe.

And, as you can see, I caught this devil-kin as well.

Or rather, where have you been until now?」

「I seemed to have been put asleep somehow or other,

and woke up just now……

I’m ashamed.」

Well, I figured.

「Lela was worried, you know.

Contact her quickly.」

「I-, Is that so……」

I was able to save the Royal Capital somehow.

And, got back Yurie-san as well.

The rest, I’ll finish the battle in the other towns and return to Japan.

I whipped my tired body and stood up.

[1] Konbu maki is a seaweed roll. Konbu is the large, thick seaweed that is sold dry, and also a play on words with “yorokobu” meaning “be happy” so people eat konbu maki over the new year’s for good luck.

[2] long dried strips of a gourd that’s soaked to soften and used to tie the konbu maki.

[3] Seriously, I don’t know how to translate 顔射 any better than this.
