BXBX NOVEL Volume 6, 7 – Princess Adele Appears!
Volume 6, Chapter 7 – Princess Adele Appears!
A few weeks after I woke up from my coma.
I have completely recovered my physical condition, so I’m back at my usual routine.
And when I say routine, I mean earning points by having sex with women who come inside the dungeon.
It may sound pretty weird to others, but for me, it’s just a normal day.
“Now then, let’s see what kind of women we’ll be having today”
I looked towards the surveillance monitors the same way as if looking at a restaurant’s menu.
While I was at it, Dahlia, who has just finished checking the traps, returned.
“Oh, Gilles. What are you doing here?”
“What are you talking about? It’s my daily routine to check which woman I’ll be embracing today”
She then gave me a look as if she wasn’t convinced of my words.
“Shouldn’t you be in the residential area right now as you’ve got something important to do over there? I heard Evelyn has talked to you about this”
…….Speaking of that, I think might have made such a promise to her.
“Ah, now I remember. She said that a bigshot in the kingdom will be coming or so. What about it?”
As I shrugged my shoulders while giving a nonchalant answer, Dahlia was stunned.
“Isn’t that even more of a reason you should go right away?”
“……I guess……not?”
Dahlia stared daggers at me.
“Okay okay. I’ll go. Sheesh”
After that I activated my transfer magic to meet Evelyn, also to escape myself from the angry Dahlia who’s about to burst.
◆
“Fuu, arrived at last”
I teleported to the residential area where Evelyn should be right now, then started looking around.
“Okay, coast is clear. Evelyn hasn’t arrived yet. That was close. Whew”
I breathed a sigh in relief.
――Gon!
“Ow, what the!?”
Immediately after I said that, a dull pain ran on the back of my head, as if i was hit by a blunt instrument.
“Geez, never on time at all”
From behind I heard the voice of Evelyn, filled with a piercing tone.
“What was that hit for?”
I turned around and complained to the director, who has her staff still raised.
“It’s because someone here didn’t keep his promise?”
“That’s, well…… Okay, I submit. So, where is the cuntry’s big shot? Is she already there?”
I immediately changed the topic to get away from Evelyn, who’s likely to enter her sermon mode.
“If that wasn’t the case, then Elisa-sama wouldn’t be keeping her company already”
Evelyn pointed to a group of about ten people who were a little further away.
After receiving the summon from a higher-up of the country, I imagined a daimyo procession coming over, delegating me some sort of mission to me.
However, even though only women can enter the dungeon, the group Evelyn pointed to me has too few people that are armed.
They feel more like a lady-in-waiting rather than a proper bodyguard.
“Though I imagined them to a bit more……rugged but tough looking, but isn’t it just the princess and her maids?”
I told Evelyn my honest impression.
She then made an irked face to me.
“Gilles-kun, sometimes I don’t really know if you are sharp or just dumb”
She even accompanied it with a disappointed sway of her head.
“Then what is――”
As I was about to ask what’s with her response, a beautiful girl came running towards me from the group.
“I have finally met you! You are Gilles Bain, right?”
The pretty girl who ran all the way to the front pointed at me as she said so.
The first feature that struck me was her bob cut hair, which put emphasis on the ease of movement.
In this country, women generally tend to keep their hair long.
Though there are also exceptions like Dahlia due to her job, but its not like this kingdomis ruled by a band of thieves.
The next feature of her that I saw was a mini-one-piece dress with a short skirt length that has seem to have already given up on hiding her body.
Her skin, whether it was visible or hidden from her one-piece was so glisteningly white, and her legs with just the right flesh were so beautiful that I already want to jump on her and smoosh them on my face.
There is also the gap in her energetic behavior despite the aura she’s giving off was of a sheltered rich girl.
One would think obviously that the one who visited me was a daughter of some influential big-shot of the country.
She has an excellent body, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t even touch it.
I don’t want to end up in a diplomatic dispute with a kingdom just to embrace a woman after all.
As I gazed at the girl from head to toe as if wanting to devour her whole, I spoke with a respectful voice to the other party.
“I am indeed Gilles Bain. We wish to express our gratitude for coming all the way here today”
For now, in my mind, I’ll temporarily treat this girl as a daughter of that hated Minister.
I didn’t show an air of superiority and just act humbly, all in order to prevent complaints going to the higher-ups that will certainly annoy me in the future.
“Actually, just quit the standing on ceremonies. I am Adelle. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Gilles”
Was my feelings been seen through? The beautiful girl who introduced herself as Adelle tapped my shoulder hard.
Also, Adelle? It’s a name that I definitely heard somewhere, but I couldn’t remember where.
“Is that so? Then I’ll do that and call you Adelle”
“Wait, Gilles-kun. No matter what the circumstances may be, calling her that is too――”
Surprised by my way of interaction, Evelyn panicked.
Evelyn, I’m fine, so you don’t have to worry about it”
“B-but, Your Highness……”
Did Evelyn just address this girl as Your Highness?
“……Milady, perhaps, are you a part of the royal family?”
Now that I notice, Evelyn, who was usually aloof was sitting up straight so much. So that’s why she’s nagging me to come early.
Elisa, who followed Adele, came next to me.
“Ara? I though onii-sama should have known her by now as she had met with you in the past. Don’t tell me that you have forgotten about that, onii-sama?”
“Wh-what did you sayー!?”
I, unable to hide my surprise to my sister’s sudden words, couldn’t help but shout out.
“I have already expected you to have forgotten about me, but it still hurts if you say it that blatantly”
Adelle showed signs of sulking a bit upon seeing my reaction, but she looked slightly happy elsewhere.
“I really wanted to come to see you sooner, but my vassals were too noisy. This time I finally made it, thanks to Evelyn’s cooperation”
“Haaa………why are you so interested in this tower? Wait, you two have met?”
“Yes, so you don’t have to worry about that man’s tone. Although I’m also a part of the royal family, I am far from the succession rights as I am the third princess. Also, I’m famous as the tomboy princess in the capital so……”
Adelle replied in confidence, although I couldn’t think why she was so confident about it.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll accept your offer and behave as I usually do”
One of my strengths is that I am quick to adapt after all.
“With that, I’m going to ask Gilles to guide me later. As for my maids, I’ll entrust them to you, Evelyn”
“W-wait, please wait, Your Highness!?”
Evelyn went confused with Adelle’s proposal.
However, the person in question seemed that she didn’t care about such things and just walked away with me as soon as she grab my arm.
“Well, are we good now? Evelyn, we’ll be off to show her around the tower for a little while”
As I don’t want it to be any more troublesome, I immediately prepared my transfer magic while feigning ignorance of the matter.
“Gilles-kun, don’t even try to lay your hands on Her Highness!”
“――Hmmm? Did you say something? Well, never mind. I’ll see you guys later~”
Evelyn was still saying something, but I decided not to hear it and I activated my transfer magic.
◆
The first place I moved to was the floor which produced golems and dragons, arranged by their hierarchy.
“Wow, this is quite amazing”
Evelyn exclaimed in awe as she witnessed a dragon hatching from an egg in front of her eyes.
“This is the most amazing creation I have ever developed. It’s a trade secret, but I guess I’ll provide an exception for you to see it.”
“To even achieve creating a new life, which is said to be impossible, I knew that Mr. Gilles is amazing”
Adelle flattered me excessively.
I felt something odd in her praise, but I couldn’t understand why.
“I know, but please keep this a secret from the kingdom”
“……why?”
With such an impressive achievement, Adelle couldn’t help but ask.
“If this fact spreads out, people who think bad of me, which I think most if not everyone I met, may think I am establishing an army of evil so that I could dominate the world. If that happens, then all my current efforts will be in vain. After all, the very Demon Lord is sealed in this tower, and I was always thought as the bad guy to everyone.”
“I see, you have a point. To think you have planned up to that, Mr. Gilles is really smart. Then, shall this be a secret in between the two of us?”
Actually, it is a chimera modified with a lizard as its base, so I didn’t actually create a new life, nor species at best.
However, it was already sufficient to convince them that I had such great power.
“Yes.it will be a secret between the two of us”
I said as I stroked Adelle’s head, a habit that I have always been doing to cute little sister figures like her.
“――ah, not good”
Thinking she would be displeased by my sudden behavior, surprisingly, Adelle didn’t do anything and just left me as it is.
“Ufufufu~ Ah! by the way, what is this slimy thing?”
She intended to fool me by changing the topic to hide her embarrassment and tried to reach out her hand to the case next to the dragon.
“Don’t touch it!”
I tried to stop Adelle’s hand, but I was too late.
When the lid of the case was opened, Adelle was instantly covered by the slime that had jumped out.
