Chapter 177 Princess Tiger Speaks Out
Everyone in black-clothes is holding the object that turned into a fuss for me, just as I ordered, keeping it at arm's length. It's quite a twist.
"Tatsuma-kun."
"Yes?"
"That man wearing that grand crown doesn't need to be revived."
"Is that okay?"
"It'll make things quicker."
It's for show, huh? ...So, the object lying next to it seems to be the woman mentioned in the conversation, Ginedetta Wareels. The display is for the king, Koitsuji Wareels.
Since the Daioraden incident, I've become quite accustomed. Maya-chan is the same, and Mother doesn't show a hint of unease.
"Hey, guys, did I say 'gag'? Will you do everything except for this ugly fat thing and this?"
'Yes, understood.'
The black-clothes men all replied at once. Berberiguru-san responded with a slight delay, saying, "As you wish."
After casting the spell "Resurrect" on everyone except the one Mother instructed me to leave, there were 31 people.
I understand the feeling of that moment, but awakening of consciousness isn't immediate. So, I cast the spell from the outside, one by one. I could tell the state of awakening from the timing of their groans. Even though I've been casting such high-level magic constantly, I don't feel like my mana has decreased. Of course, I'm keeping "Resurrect" active with "Pulse". What's going on with my body?
Anyway, hmm, that person wearing the crown who's the only one left seems like he'd get mad if I called him an object. He's the deceased king, quite avant-garde, or something like that. It's obvious that he doesn't belong here, but I wonder if it's okay to leave him behind, Mother.
"It's been decades, no, over a hundred years maybe? It's like waking up, huh, Ginedetta-oneesama."
A woman woke up tied up, kneeling with her arms in front of her stomach, like she was about to confess something. She looked a bit younger than me, but Mother called her "Onee-sama." She's probably over a hundred years old, but I don't get Beastmen.
"...Is that you, Privia? It's been a while—wha-what's going on? What did you do?"
It's impressive how quickly she noticed the situation change.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I finished off this Wareels."
"Don't be foolish, stupid people like Tigerman..."
Even while looking around at the nobles who were captured, she still talks tough.
"It was done by that people, you know? Don't you get it yet, Onee-sama?"
Mother looks down on her, giving her a cold stare.
"You, you lot are just this――ahh!"
She couldn't finish her sentence. Nearby, witnessing a decaying corpse, she fall into a frenzy. Well, of course. Without who I am now, there's no room for hope.
"Goodness me, you're still as noisy as ever. Look, isn't she your beloved cousin? Hurry and wake up to listen to her whims, but well, it seems impossible in this state, doesn't it? Ahahaha."
Mother must be speaking to the deceased king. Through her words, you can sense how much hardship she's endured. Even during the time when the country was on the verge of splitting apart, there must have been some interaction. Even in such circumstances, Mother must have been kind to everyone.
Huh? There are fewer black spots on the fingers of the king who's turned into a pickle. Oh, I see. Was he in the same condition as Daioraden?
'Berberi-san'
'Yes?'
'Could you check everyone's fingers here?'
'Of course.'
'Big brother'
'Hmm?'
'You're using 'Ber-san' too much. That's Maya's, right?'
'My apologies.'
'It's okay. I forgive you.'
"Ah, Tatsuma-kun. It's okay to resurrect him now?
Mother's gaze as she turned to me was still quite stern.
"Yes."
I approached the corpse and touched it with my fingertips.
"'Resurrect'"
As if time were rewinding, the severed limbs of the corpse began to reconnect. Though the clothes he wore remained tattered, his body twitched slightly as he lays face down. Resurrection must have been completed.
After finishing the task, I stepped back and stood alongside Maya-chan.
'That was scary, huh?'
'Yeah. It wasn't our usual mother.'
From the prone position, we could see his prop himself up on his hands and knees, transitioning to a crawling position.
'Whoa, butt's all out, not cool.'
'Shh.'
'Big brother's still in three-point stance.'
'Maya-chan.'
'Yes, sorry.'
Actually, if the queen saw it, she would see right through to his butt hole. It's quite ridiculous, or rather pitiful. That's what happens when the king gets dominated by Mother and Maya-chan.
"What is this? What happened? Why was I sitting on the floor?"
'Ah, turn around, Maya-chan.'
'Don't look back there.'
Maya-chan hid her face in my chest. Yes, that's right. When the king tries to twist his body to look at the queen, his crotch fully opens up. His private parts come into clear view.
"Hmph, hmph. Not bad, but smells weird."
Even during times like these, Maya-chan still does things like this to me. Is it a joke or what, I just can't tell.
"Ah, why did you--no, stop doing that!"
His genitals are hanging down. What kind of crime is that considered in this world?
"Hahaha. Quite funny indeed. So, do you understand the situation now?"
"It must have been some kind of illusion. Or maybe just a jest――"
An illusion, huh?
"Ah"
"Ah."
Mother quietly approached the king, without making a sound. She swung her right arm and, just like that, off went his head. It was surprising. She lightly kicked the rolling head with her foot, making it roll under his legs.
"――Aaaaaaaaah!"
The queen's voice, now voiceless, as she was showered with blood splatter just like Mother. Well, what can you do?
"Tatsuma-kun, can you do me a favor?"
She laughed gleefully, covered in the splatter. Creepy.
"Oh, sure."
I quietly approached, trying not to disrupt the atmosphere. Ew, I could see things hanging from behind. If there were wax figures like this in the other world, they'd be shut down. I gently poked the tear in the clothes around the arm with my finger and chanted softly.
"'Resurrect.'"
I slipped back next to Maya-chan.
'Good job.'
'Thanks.'
'About the blood splatter...'
'Yeah.'
'It doesn't rewind, huh?'
'Oh, I just noticed that now. Maya-chan, you're observant.'
'Well, of course. It's fun to watch.'
