Chapter 32: Chapter 30: The Diary of a Masochistic Queen
A masochist, someone who derives pleasure from being bullied or humiliated, enjoys being mistreated, and has a submissive personality...
The Queen of the Sirens, Laila Lorelei, who had been able to get everything she wanted since childhood, developed a personality that craved things she couldn't have...
This wasn't due arrogance or pride, but rather a childish desire for mischief.
The noble Queen, living a life of luxury, underwent a significant change in her mindset after being influenced by fairy tales...
For the love she longed for, she wagered everything by swearing to the Covenants and entered cold sleep, waiting for the one who would awaken her...
Thus, the Sirens were left without a Queen, the Dhampir were pushed to the brink, and both races faced extinction.
At this moment, their savior appeared, a hero named Nangou Haruya!
The man who would save the foolish Sirens and the seductive Dhampir from their dire straits has now arrived–
'Alright, enough with the jokes.'
....
"Wait a second, Nangou-sama, what do you mean by not using the Dhampir's magic? All the challengers so far have failed..."
"Don't worry, Amira-san. Didn't I tell you? I have a surefire conquest method..." Haruya said confidently.
Besides, Amira wasn't truly worried about Haruya. After all, her original wish was for a Siren to awaken the Queen.
If the authority of the Sirens' representative fell into the hands of another race, it would likely lead to a disastrous situation.
However, Amira remembered Haruya's earlier oath to protect the Sirens' rights and interests.
Thinking this, Amira felt that 'letting Nangou-sama awaken the Queen' might not be such a bad idea.
"Leaving aside whether or not you'll use our Love Magic Haru-kun, your so-called conquest method might not necessarily succeed..."
"Hmph, Plum, you said it before... all we need is to make her 'feel like it's love', right?"
"Yes, that's the essence of the Love Magic. Since the essence of love is uncertain, we just need to make it certain. Since everyone's perception of love is different, we can arbitrarily define it ourselves!"
The Love Magic created by the Dhampir, including Plum, was essentially a 'lust-inducing' magic.
This was Plum's reasoning, by making the Queen feel like it's love, she might be tricked into actually falling for Haruya.
"Meh, whatever." Since Haruya had no experience with this, he couldn't provide a proper response...
However, he really did have a Conquest method... Rather than wasting time here, it was better to quickly conquer the Queen and move on to the next step.
"Nangou-sama, since you've already made your decision, you must have the resolve to match it, right?"
"Yes. If I fail and am rejected, everything I have will belong to Her Majesty the Queen." In other words, it would belong to the Sirens.
"Alright, since Nangou-sama is the challenger this time, I can't interfere too much," Amira bowed slightly, "Good luck, and don't be too sad if you're rejected."
"I won't be."
As Haruya walked forward, Plum, who
was on his left, spoke up, "Haru-kun, you really are a strange person..."
"I don't want to be called strange by someone who's persistently trying to steal my sweat and saliva." Haruya retorted.
"What can I do? If I don't 'consume' those, I can't survive." Plum shrugged.
"By the way, after conquering the Queen, the Dhampir and Sirens will be saved, right?" Asked Haruya.
"Mostly, yes. After all, the Queen is the only special individual among the Sirens who can reproduce without draining her partner to death. But I think Haru-kun who refuses to use our Love Magic will definitely fail..." Plum looked at the Queen in the distance, "Because the Queen has heard enough sweet talk over the years."
"That's true." Haruya agreed with Plum's assessment.
At this point, Amira chimed in, "You two, we're almost there. Dhampir over there, we should probably stop now."
Since the two of them weren't participants in the game, they couldn't get too close and affect the challengers performance.
As his companions stopped, Haruya continued walking toward the Siren Queen, Laila Lorelei.
Her blue hair shimmered in the sunlight, and her youthful appearance made her seem like a teenage girl. Her eyes, however, carried a hint of sadness.
Hearing footsteps, Laila turned around, "You are..."
"Noble and beautiful Queen, hello." Haruya greeted.
"Good afternoon."
'So it's afternoon now...' Behind him, two pairs of eyes were watching, and NPCs occasionally passed by.
Haruya adjusted his uniform. Since he was already a college student, wearing high school uniform felt a bit awkward...
But never mind that, there was a woman hundreds of years old wearing a school uniform right in front of him...
The NPCs didn't affect him much, and the U.I that popped up allowed him to select the specific time.
Since the Queen thought it was afternoon, he'd set it to afternoon.
Haruya slowly approached the Queen, looking at the sky as he spoke, "The weather is nice today, Laila."
"Yes, it's a rare sunny day. Look, there are fish flying over there. How cute."
'What a peculiar conversation...'
"But..." Haruya slightly tilted his head, "Are you an idiot?"
Laila: "Huh?"
...
"What?!!!" Plum and Amira who were not far away let out shocked exclamations.
"What are you doing, Haru-kun?!"
"Nangou-sama, no matter how you look at it, calling someone an idiot upon first meeting them is what a virgin Immanity would do!!"
"Shut up! And how do you know I'm a virgin?!"
Then Haruya decided to ignore them and turned to Laila, "Really, you're so old, yet you're still dreaming like a little girl. You're such an idiot. You've been asleep for 800 years, wasting 800 years of your life!!"
Haruya continued, "Sure, I envy not having to do anything, but this foolish behavior is utterly ridiculous!!! Fairy tales are all lies... If you don't understand that, how can you even call yourself an adult? If you think being pretty allows you to get away with anything, then you're just a hopeless fool... Try experiencing the hardships of work! Do you think earning money every day to buy figurines is easy? Wake up, you damn naive idiot Queen!!!"
"Huh? W-what? What?" The Queen looked confused, but her expression had changed significantly.
"It's over..." The two behind him said in unison.
Haruya let out a sigh and was about to start round two, but the Queen suddenly swam up to him... She lowered her head, her body trembling as if she was about to explode in anger.
'Huh? Did I do it wrong?'
As Haruya pondered this, the Queen raised her head... She grabbed Haruya's hands, drool suddenly dripping from her mouth, her eyes turning into heart shapes, "Please, please S–scold me more☆☆☆☆☆☆☆!!!!"
