The Satyr Scouts
“Our Demon King is amazing, isn't he? He seems really good at everything.”
“The Demon King is amazing!”
Perhaps impressed by seeing me order Serineu around, Lumika and Sharan approached with sparkling eyes. It was nothing special, really, but having them look at me with such admiration made me feel pretty good. Sharan and Lumika clearly viewed me as a formidable being. So, what choice did I have? I had to keep being formidable.
“Heh heh heh, it’s nothing. Anyway, we have to fight the satyrs now. You both know you need to be careful, right?”
“Sharan will protect the Demon King!”
I appreciated that.
“Yeah. I’ll be careful. But I think it’ll be fine if we just do as the Demon King says. We caught that Barghest without any damage last time, didn't we? And Reika... well, the goblins got hurt, but we captured her well.”
“Thanks for the praise. That’s right. Just trust me, like you did then.”
I had calculated that we could win. Now, let’s take a look around the village. Even though it was dark in the middle of the night, there were enough fireflies to see everything clearly.
“Hey.”
Just then, Reika called out to me.
“Yes?”
“What’s the situation?”
“Oh, Sister Reika. Are you finally curious about what we’re doing?”
“Don’t give me that bullshit. Just tell me. What are you planning to do here?”
Even though she said that, her face looked like she was dying of curiosity. Since we had been conversing in the Fairy language inside, Reika hadn't understood a word. She must have been dying to know. But the fact that she was asking so comfortably suggested that the training was paying off. She was starting to feel more comfortable and familiar with me.
“I’m planning to help the pixies destroy a monster tribe.”
“A war between monsters, huh...”
“If something stands in the way of expanding our influence, it has to be cleared away.”
“Are you planning to grow your forces like that and invade the human world?”
Well. I wonder.
“Heh heh heh, what do you think?”
As I shrugged, Reika gave a twisted smile and pointed a finger at me.
“You really are a cursed bastard. I sincerely pray that you lose this war and get slaughtered to the last man. May the goddess’s curse and wrath be upon you, you wicked piece of shit.”
“Sex.”
“Aaaah♥ Oh, for fuck’s sake♥ Why can’t I say anything... Haaah♥ Stop it already!”
“Halt.”
Activating the seal really is too easy.
“Let’s look around the village.”
And so, we toured the pixie village. It was a charming fairy village where houses dug into hills and various surface structures were mysteriously mixed together. However, this village was by no means suitable for defense. For starters, there were no walls at all. There was a small fence, but it was barely enough to stop anyone from simply stepping over it. It meant this wasn't a town built with war or defensive battles in mind. Well, not that pixies would have that kind of knowledge. Thinking like this was just me being human.
“Fighting in the village seems difficult.”
It was too open. If we fought a barbarian tribe of over 30 satyrs in such an open space, the damage would surely be significant. In that case, we needed to fight in a more advantageous location... terrain reconnaissance would be crucial. It would be better to lure them to a different, more favorable spot than the village.
We could use defensive formations freely. But this satyr barbarian tribe lacked such tactical concepts. Even the hobgoblin tribe, which had formed an army, was slaughtered by our phalanx. Just by using the terrain and formations well, we could easily win. Could I, who had even captured a nun with superhuman strength, be defeated by a mere monster tribe?
As I was thinking this while observing the village:
“Hey! Why aren't you in the house! I’ve been looking for you!”
“Hm?”
“I asked everyone to find the scouts and came back, but what am I supposed to do if you’re not home!”
Serineu flew over, her breasts bouncing, as if she had finished delivering her orders.
“Ah, sorry, sorry. I was just looking outside. I’ll give you some 'white stuff' next time, so calm down.”
“What? You’ll give me the white stuff? Then I’ll forgive you!”
Why is she so easy to handle?
“Anyway, Serineu. So the pixies have gone to search for the scouts now?”
“Yeah. They’re leaving in groups now. But since it’s night, I decided not to send them too far.”
“Good judgment.”
Safety is the most important thing.
“So, what are you going to do now?”
“It’s night, isn't it? Time to sleep. You should get some good sleep, too. You’re coming with me to scout tomorrow.”
“Ugh... Okay. I’ll do that. Oh, but you guys. Where are you going to sleep?”
“Is there a good place?”
“Sleep at my place. I think that’ll be better.”
“Serineu, why are you so kind?”
I guess we’ll sleep at Serineu’s place.
“Big tits. Thank you.”
“You said Serineu, right? Thanks for the consideration.”
Sharan and Lumika immediately expressed their gratitude.
“Since you came to help, it’s only natural. I’ll share some food with the monsters sleeping over there, too. Let’s go in!”
And so, we decided to sleep at Serineu’s house. There was a well in front, so we washed up before bed, and washing with four naked women was very enjoyable.
The next morning, we began our move.
“Buril. My brother, I’m going to go scout the surrounding terrain with Serineu for a bit. That means only you and a few pixies will be left in the village.”
“Keruk keruk. Demon King. Am I not the one who guards the house well?”
“This guy knows it well even without me saying it now!”
So smart!
“Just trust me. Keruk.”
“Heh heh heh! Oh! Why are you so cute! You son of a bitch, when the work is done, I’ll give you the most mana infusion!”
“Kerurung!”
We decided that the village would be guarded by my subordinates and a few pixies. Since the scouts hadn't been caught during the night anyway, it didn't seem like the main force would come.
“Then stay safe.”
“Keruk!”
I left the village after giving Buril his instructions.
“Serineu. Is there any place nearby that’s like a single-lane path?”
“A single-lane path?”
“Yeah. A place where the surroundings are blocked and there’s only one way through.”
“Hmm... Ah! I’ll guide you! Follow me!”
Looks like she has a place in mind.
Having examined the village as a whole, I felt that fighting in the village would cause too much damage to our side. It would be better to find a good point to fight.
“But Serineu, what about the fairies?”
“The ones who went to find the scouts took them all.”
Fairies could also be incredibly useful if used strategically. And so, I began terrain reconnaissance, following Serineu.
“Shaa shaa. It’s fun to be out far away. Demon King.”
“Ho ho ho, I feel the same.”
We were out scouting, but everyone was enjoying it like a picnic. Right. It’s only natural to be happy when you’re scouting without heavy gear, without a full pack, and without a gun.
“Scouting is pretty serious stuff... Did you receive that kind of training in the Demon World? You?”
As we walked, Sister Reika asked. It seems she finds me quite fascinating.
“Well, what do you think?”
“Tell me the truth. Did the Demon World send someone like you to invade the human world? Like a spy sent by the Lord of the Demon World.”
She has a rich imagination. Still, as a nun, she was very curious about the Demon World and the demons. Sharan and Lumika, born as fairies, didn't really understand such things and didn't have much interest in them.
“Sister Reika, you seem very curious about me?”
“Your tone is really fucking shitty, you know.”
“Sister Reika’s tone is very sexy.”
“Oh, seriously, you fucker! I really want to kill you!”
Impossible. As we were moving like that:
“Here it is!”
We arrived at a space similar to a single-lane path, surrounded by thick trees.
“How is it?”
“Hmm, this is a bit wide.”
“Wide?”
“Yeah. Even if all the goblins lined up side by side, there would still be space. This is a no-go. Let’s find another place.”
“What is this. I went through the trouble of guiding you, and you say that right away? That’s too much!”
She’s getting angry here?
“Serineu. It’s not like that. I’m doing this for the safety of you pixies.”
“Safety?”
“Yeah. We have to find a place where we can fight safely.”
“What are you talking about? We should fight in the village, right?”
Ah. Did I not mention that?
“No. We can’t fight in the village. We have to fight outside.”
“What? What are you talking about! If we don’t fight in the village, who will protect the village!”
“We don’t need to protect the village. Because we’re going to kill all the satyrs.”
“Whaaat?”
As expected, since she’s a pixie, she doesn't understand well.
“Serineu. If we fight in the village, many pixies will get hurt. Are you okay with that?”
“Ah, no! That’s not it! I don’t want the pixies to get hurt!”
“Right? You don’t want that, right? That’s why we have to fight in a good place. The pixie village is unsuitable for defense. We have to lure them to a place where we have the advantage.”
The reason the satyrs were trying to attack the pixies wasn't to take over the village. Would those guys who went 'uga uga' with wooden clubs loot the pixies’ tools? They must have the goal of eliminating a competing race. Then, we can lure them.
“Hmm... Is that so...”
“Yeah. We’re looking for a place suitable for defense. So please find another single-lane path. A bit narrower this time.”
“...Okay.”
Convinced, Serineu began guiding us again.
“Oh! Yes! This is it!”
After repeating the search for a single-lane path a few more times, we found a very decent place. The path itself was narrow, and trees were thick on both sides, which was perfect. And the length of the path was also satisfactory. With this, we could dig traps and do everything else. As for luring them, we could just pick a few pixies and have them act desperate and run away.
“Is this enough?!”
“Yeah! This is it, no doubt! We just need to lure those satyr bastards here and kill them all!”
“Hooray!”
As Serineu cheered, her explosive 'royal tits' bounced. I really like that. “Then let’s go back to the village, Serineu.”
“Okay!”
As we returned to the village:
“Ah! Serineu is here! Serineu! We found the scouts!”
“What did you say!!!!”
It was me who shouted!
“Buril! Get the tools!”
“Kerururuk!”
“We’re going to catch them right away! Pixie! How many scouts are there?!”
“Uh? Two, there are two...!”
“That’s enough then!”
The goblin, seasoned in battle, quickly grabbed his spear and shield. Goblins and pixies. Me. And my women. With this much, we should be able to capture the satyr scouts. Having finished our preparations, we followed the pixie.
“Over there!”
Not long after, the pixie shouted and gestured for us to be quiet.
“And shh!”
*...*
*...*
Everyone immediately fell silent. We slowly moved forward and peeked, seeing a pixie hiding in the tree, and below it, we found two satyrs tearing into lizard meat.
“Meeeh.”
“Beeeh, beeeeh.”
They really are goat bastards. Their size is larger than a hobgoblin. Let’s capture them alive right now... Then how should we capture them? Rush in all at once? No. No. Here, I should experiment with the luring method.
“Hey. Serineu.”
“Th, there...! That’s them! Our enemy!”
“Serineu.”
“Yeah?”
“Go over there for a second and show yourself to them.”
“Whaaat?! By myself?!”
“Yeah. You’re the one luring them. If they get distracted by you, we’ll go and smash their backs. Understand?”
“Ugh...”
Is she scared? Then I should praise her.
“This is a very important operation. The most important operation that only you, Serineu, the pixie captain, can do.”
“...!”
At my words, Serineu’s eyes widened.
“If it’s such an important operation... then I have no choice but to do it! Okay! Just trust me!”
“Good! Then start luring!”
“Okay!”
Serineu flew off just like that. She’s really easy to handle.
“Everyone. Wait a moment.”
“Shaa.”
“Keruk.”
And so.
Serineu revealed herself in front of the satyrs.
“Hey! You bad satyr bastards! Over here!”
“Meeeh...?”
The moment their heads turned.
“Meeeh!”
“Beeeeh!”
Suddenly, the satyr bastards exhaled through their noses and started inflating their 'equipment'!
“What?!”
These guys are erect! And just by seeing Serineu!
“Meeeh!”
The erect satyrs exhaled through their noses and kicked the ground!
“These crazy bastards! Everyone! Let’s go! We’re going to beat the hell out of those guys!”
“Keruuuuk!”
“Shaa!”
“Should I provide support fire from the back?”
“Do that!”
Don't tell me the satyr bastards were in heat and trying to catch the pixies because they needed a female? No, but they’re different species!
