Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure



I couldn't help looking at Madame Rose with a strange look.

I couldn't tell if she was asking this question on purpose or if she really didn't know…but judging by the look on her face, it seemed like she really didn't know…

So I had no choice but to explain, "Well, since the succubi were incited by the incense, they most likely attacked the demon worshipers. As demons of lust, they…most likely drained them of all of their vitality and then killed them. But since it wasn't what they were supposed to do, they burned the manor down to hide the evidence."

Madame Rose nodded in response to this before saying, "I also thought of that, but that seems like it would be too crude. After all, there were many different ways they could have taken care of the evidence that didn't involve burning down the entire manor. They could have created fake evidence that pointed the blame away from them and then followed up on that…"

She continued on to give many different ways that the succubi could have covered it up much more efficiently.

As she said all of this, I couldn't help feeling that I had misjudged Madame Rose.

I had underestimated Madame Rose, but it seemed that she had been thinking much deeper than me. She had thought of many different ways that all seemed feasible and I couldn't help being a bit scared of her after hearing this.

But she didn't know what the succubi were like, so it couldn't be blamed on her.

The succubi seemed like they were the kind that panicked easily, so they must have thought of the simplest thing and gone with it. That was most likely why they had chosen to burn down the manor.

I just said with a smile, "I'm sure that they were panicking after realizing what they had done and chose the simplest solution because of it."

Madame Rose looked at me with a doubtful look as she said, "Is that so?"

I just nodded with the same smile.

She looked at me for a bit before giving a nod as well, as if she accepted this answer, but then she quickly knitted her brows again.

I asked in a surprised voice, "Is there still something else wrong?"

Madame Rose didn't answer right away, but she eventually said with a nod, "Un, it's the monster wave."

"Monster wave?" I repeated in a confused voice before suddenly realizing what she was talking about. However, after realizing this, I couldn't help feeling even more confused as I asked, "Shouldn't the monster wave have dissipated because the demon worshipers were killed? After all, if the demon worshipers are gone, there's nothing for them to gain from sending this monster wave at the town, right?"

That was right, the main goal of this monster wave was to sacrifice humans to the demons.

However, since the demon worshipers were gone, it wasn't as if the human sacrifices could be prepared for the monster wave to capture. So the demons that should have learned of the death of these demon worshipers should have given up on this monster wave plan.

Madame Rose didn't answer right away as she gave a sigh and just sat there with knitted brows.

After a long time, she gave another sigh before saying, "The problem is that without the interference of the demons, the monsters are now just moving on their own."

I couldn't help knitting my brows when I heard this.

No matter how you looked at it, that seemed like a good thing since these monsters would naturally dissipate without the interference of the demons.

But then Madame Rose said, "Without the demons controlling them, a few of the monsters have scattered, but a group of them are still heading towards the town."

I finally realized what Madame Rose was worrying about.

The monster wave threat still existed, even if the wave had become smaller.

The bigger problem was that with the demon worshipers here and the demons controlling the monster wave, the damage would have been minimalized because they wouldn't want to destroy the town.

But without anything controlling them, the monsters would cause great damage to the town since they would just follow their instincts to survive.

A cornered beast was the most dangerous after all.

After a long pause, I couldn't help asking, "How big is the monster wave now?"

Madame Rose didn't answer this and instead turned to Cecilia who had been silently sitting there. However, that wasn't strange since Cecilia was the captain of the guards and the one who should know the situation with the monster wave the best.

Cecilia was silent for a bit before saying with a heavy look, "30% of the monster wave has dissipated, but the remaining 70% is still heading towards the town. At the current size of the monster wave, it will take the lives of half the guards and half the town will be destroyed for us to wipe them out."

After a pause, she added, "But there were signs of more monsters leaving the wave, so those estimates could be wrong. We'll keep monitoring the situation and we also have other plans to make more monsters leave the wave before they reach the town."

Though it seemed a bit hopeful the way that she said this, at the very least, it meant that there were still options that were available. As for how feasible they were, I chose not to think about it.

Madame Rose gave a nod in response to this before saying with a concerned voice, "Cece, don't push yourself too much."

Cecilia's expression relaxed a bit as she just gave a simple nod.

With all of this settled, there was nothing else to discuss, so I went back to rest up some more.

But I couldn't fall asleep as I laid there in bed lost in thought.

Could it be that this was a remnant from when this world was still a game?

The town being destroyed by the monster wave was a key event in the game. So even if I destroyed the demon order branch here, could it be that they were still destined to attack and destroy the town?

Was there anything that I could do to stop this or was this something that couldn't be stopped?

After all, in this forced event in the prologue, both Madame Rose and Cecilia disappeared and they were never seen again.

This wasn't something that I could allow to happen.
