Brave Soul of Evil Supremacy-Chapter 226: Shaking Palace. Shaking Twin Domes
After finishing an audience with the king, I somehow managed to obtain the permission I desired. Feeling mentally exhausted, I left the throne room with Aeris by my side, her arm linked with mine.
"Phew... What a troublesome ruler. I wish he'd spare us from these pointless amusements," I grumbled as we walked down the corridor.
"Zenon-sama... It's still too early to speak your mind openly. I understand your feelings, but..."
Aeris frowned, looking troubled by my complaints. I knew from the game's setting that the king couldn't help but impose challenging tasks on others. Ignoring him was the best approach. Fortunately, I managed to get through with my items, so I was fortunate.
"In the worst-case scenario, he could have thrown even more difficult challenges at me, but it seems like that didn't happen. Once we're ready, let's head to the 'Eternal Library.'"
"Will we really find a way to help Brave-san there?"
"Who knows... but they say the librarian there knows everything in this world. It's probably more efficient than going through the library's books one by one."
"I suppose so..."
"The problem is who we'll bring along. Only four people can enter that dungeon at once. Moreover, we'll have to face some troublesome battles before reaching the librarian. The choice of party members is crucial."
Aeris and I were already set as confirmed members. The decision of the remaining two was a dilemma. If we went with the usual team, Urza and Nagisa would be the ones to accompany us. However, the 'Eternal Library' was home to numerous monsters with strong resistance against physical attacks.
"It's not so bad for magic swordsmen like me, but it's tough for pure warriors. I'd prefer a party composition centered around magic users."
"In that case, why not invite Uranus-san? She's willing to help Brave-san, and I'm sure she'd be a great asset with her magical abilities."
"Uranus, huh..."
Ciel Uranus was one of the main heroines and a powerful mage. Though I rarely witnessed her in battle, there were rumors of her participating in a fight against one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Bolfeduda. She must have enough power to not be a burden.
"...You're right. After all, she's the one who wants to help Leon. We'll have her work like a cart horse."
Ciel had also returned to the capital. She would most likely be at the building where Leon had his base, a location that served as the game's main headquarters.
"As for Ciel, we can ask her later... Now, the question is, who do we pick as the last member?"
For immediately available forces, there were the undercover agents and assassins under the Baskerville family's command. They excelled in combat, particularly in one-on-one situations, but venturing into dungeons to fight monsters was not their specialty. Moreover, they were usually busy with other work, so I preferred not to bother them too much.
"Monica-san... it's probably too early for her, right?"
"You're right. Monica's abilities won't cut it. How about we ask Nagisa and Urza to take her to some nearby dungeons for training?"
Speaking of which... there was also the demon girl lurking in my shadow—Miura Agares. She's a summon beast, and I'm not entirely sure if she should be counted as one of the 'four,' but in case of emergency, I could consider adding her to the party.
"Though I'm not entirely familiar with her abilities... well, even if her powers have declined, she's still a high-ranking demon. She should be able to hold her own."
"Zenon Baskerville! Wait, Zenon Baskerville!"
"Huh?"
As Aeris and I walked down the corridor, we were loudly called out from behind. Turning around, we saw a woman rushing toward us from the end of the hallway.
"That woman, could it be...?"
"That person, why is she here...!"
Surprised, I glanced at Aeris, who blinked her blue eyes. It seemed like she knew the woman who was running toward us.
"Haa, haa... wait, please wait..."
While we were in the middle of that, the woman huffed and puffed and approached us. By the way, what had been 'huffing and puffing' all this time was the ample fruit growing on her chest.
The woman was clad in a pale green dress, and her breasts were astonishingly large. They were even bigger than Aeris or Nagisa, who should already have above-average sizes. As she took a step forward, the huge fruit wrapped in fine fabric bounced up, down, right, and left, as if it was about to fly off somewhere.
"Well, well, who would've thought we'd meet here..."
I knew this woman. While I had encountered her a few times as Zenon Baskerville, we had never actually exchanged words.
"Princess Electra the Slayers, the Second Princess of Slayers Kingdom."
She was the actual daughter of the king we had just met. One of the three beauties in Slayers Kingdom and the possessor of the largest bust in [DunBrave]. Princess Electra the Slayers was now running towards me and Aeris.𝐛𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺
