When the Villainous Flame User Trapped in a Time Loop Starts Living Earnestly, Every Female Party Member Turns into a Pervert and Now the World Is in Danger!? - 95

Chapter 95: Princess Soap

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Sea beasts were, after all, sea beasts. They were creatures of the ocean.   As marine life, they rarely came ashore… Or so it was supposed to be. Yet there did exist rare monsters capable of surviving both water and land. They were called “merfolk.”

“This remote region is the perfect place to muster forces since we’re far from inland cities and battlefields… We’ve gathered them here for the coming war and yet… Who are the ones who hunted down our comrades one after another!?”

Merfolk had genders too: males were mermen, females mermaids…

“Hiii, monsters!”

“Young boy, big sisters! H-help!”

The sun was just beginning to rise. Villagers who had woken early for walks or chores screamed. We bolted outside and saw—

“““““!!!??”””””

“Wh-what…”

“This is!?”

A massive “crab” monster casting a huge shadow on the beach. And from the sea, bipedal figures climbing onto the shore—not human, but humanoid with scales on parts of their skin or fins for tails—grotesque hybrids.

“Big Crab!?”

“And… Mermen!?”

“Ha…?! It’s a merfolk!”

“Sea monsters?! What’s going on here?!”

“No way, all at once—”

“Hey, you fish-people over there, what do you think you’re doing? This is the stronghold of us, the Sefure Pirate Crew!”

Yes. What we faced were not invaders from the demon realm like Sefure and the others, but monsters native to this world’s deep sea. I knew of them in theory…

“Either way, this is bad!”

“All hands, battle stations! Protect the villagers! Repel them!”

““““Roger!!””””

They came in unison. Merfolk. No hesitation. The enemy was serious. They meant to kill us. Murderous intent overflowed. This was kill or be killed.

“Burn!”

Instinctively, I unleashed fire magic. But…

“Fire against us? Don’t make me laugh.”

“!?”

“Sea Wall!”

The ocean surged, and a massive wall-like barrier appeared before the monsters.

And…

“You… Who are you? No… !?”

Someone seemed to have blocked my spell.A mysterious figure slowly stepped forward from the back of the merfolk.It was…

“Hoh, quite a lively little boy…”

A mermaid. But no ordinary mermaid. Long, beautiful blue hair flowing freely and her jiggly breasts were being covered with an aqua-blue bikini. Gemstones adorned her forehead. She was beautiful and somehow… Erotic… Even after days of nonstop sex and drained to the brink last night and this morning, I still…

“Either way, I’ll at least give my name to the lowly species about to die. I am the mermaid princess of the undersea kingdom Yoshiwara, located in these nearby waters… My name is Soap.”

Above all, this mermaid radiated an aura clearly above the average merfolk or monster.

“Mermaid…Princess…”

“Humans, demon lord’s army—it matters not how you defile the land. But polluting the sea is unforgivable. Be swallowed by the ocean’s wrath and turn to foam, you lowly masters.”

“!?”

The mermaid who called herself Soap raised her hand. Instantly, the merfolk on the beach lunged in unison. These guys—an army? Undersea kingdom? What the hell! Either way…

“Sefure Pirate Crew Magic Corps! Fire!”

“““Roger!”””

“Oraaa, you fish-freaks, who do you think we are!?”

“As long as we’re here, no one lays a hand on anyone!”

“Villagers, fall back!”

“We’re here!”

We wouldn’t just take it lying down. The Sefure Pirate Crew formed ranks in an instant and counterattacked, scattering the leaping merfolk.

“Lowly creatures… But demon females… What kind of combination is this? The grunts reported a single demon lord army unit skulking around here… I assumed they had occupied a human village, but you don’t look dominated…”

Soap clicked her tongue in irritation as her soldiers—subordinates—were repelled, voicing confusion at our group. Her confusion was understandable. But then…

“Ohhohohoho! We? The demon lord’s army?? What an outdated, unfashionable misconception~”

“What?”

“We are Habiri-sama’s W-O-M-E-N! ~♥”

Sefure laughed boisterously as she clung to my arm, flaunting our intimacy in an obvious way.

“And using this village as our base, we’ll eventually gather treasures from around the world and live gorgeously with our future children as a pirate crew~! Accordingly, any ruffians who dare lay a hand on us or those under our care will be duly punished~!”

Sefure declared war in return, and Naoho-san and the others nodded, readying weapons. Then…

“Humans and demons… How utterly revolting…”

Her face twisted in clear disgust, and she showed no sign of backing down…

“Prelude… No. This battle will serve as a warm-up. I had planned to crush both the demon lord’s army and humanity together once they exhausted each other in war! Be swallowed by the sea and vanish!”

So the battle began.
