User blog:Zack Tan/Volume 9 Intermission.

Sorry for the slightly late release but here is a simple translation for the intermission of volume 9 about the Loli queen I put as requested. (some of the unnecessary wordings are taken off and the translated words and sentences may not be the most fitting, I am just using the most simple words possible, but damn this is so tiring after doing this alone in a single day and I am dying here!) DX

Intermission

In a small but quite luxurious room, and there is a throne which sits a young girl, she give off a voice that is very innocent which is quite fitting for her age.

"Ok, I am relying on you then!"

"Yes, your highness!"

A knight who is kneeling then stood up and left the room.

After the door closes for a while, the girl then ask the minister at her side.

"Is it ok now?"

"Yes, he is the last person so it's fine."

After hearing the minister's cold words, the girl's innocent face suddenly crumbles.

She can be described as extremely tired, her eyes are murky and half closed, her mouth forming a  へ shape and shoulders drooping.

"So tiring"

Her attitude and tone is similar to a forty year old, but still sounded young, which contrast with her appearance.

"You worked hard"

"Yeah it is tiring, can I stop being in this appearance now?" The girl pulling up her skirt while saying so, "I am uncomfortable with this revealing skirt too."

"I had told you many times your highness."

The girl is the queen of the dragonic kingdom, "Darkscale Dragon Lord" Draudiron Oriukurus

Eventhough she is called a dragon lord, her combat abilities are a lot weaker. But Slane Theocracy still group and calls her so because of her inherited abilities, which is wild magic.

"As long as your appearance can invoke others to want to protect you, they will work hard."

"Are all humans lolicons? (lol) I would feel more comfortable if certain parts of mine are bigger." (lol)

She puts both her hands on her chest.

"Yes, if it is that form..."

"Don't speak of it like a form! That is my real appearance!"

"Pardon my disrespectfulness, your highness."

"I don't feel any remose from you."

"There is no such thing"

Staring at the minister's cold smile for a while, the queen turn her sight away displeased.

"Back to the topic, that form may be popular with men but not so for women. Instead this form is more welcomed by any people of all ages. So if you want to change back to that form, you will have to wait till the country is stable again, or do you have any other plans?"

"Don't speak of it like a form...."

"But if the situation continue like this, whatever form you take would not matter anymore."

Heavy silence falls

"The beastman's invasion this time seems totally different."

"Yes, the army's motives this time seems to be wanting to destroy this country, and then set it up as a livestock ranch. "

There is a beastman kingdom near dragonic kingdom. And beastman are demi humans similar to various carnivorous animals such as tigers and lions walking on two legs. Just looking at their face would tell you that they are carnivorous man eaters. Man eating races are quite common, three out of six big countries in the mainland view human as food. There are even high class food served using a six months old human fetus. Therefore, the beastman treat this kingdom as just some food harvesting source, even ignoring the kingdom will just simply increase the food amount, so they did not try to fully invade the kingdom before. But due to some unknown reasons, they started a full invasion this time, taking down three cities already. Setting up horrible banquets that disgusts even the queen.

Facing this non negotiable enemy, the humans banded together to resist but till the end but the differences between a beastman and a human is just too high. If both human and beastman are of the same species, then a beastman is ten times of a human. Using adventurer's rating, if a human is rated 3, then a beastman would be rated 30. But it may be due to them being well balanced, meeting an extraordinary strong beastman is rare which is the only relief for humans.

"Eventhough we can stall the enemies with  Adamantite lead adventurer groups, but the enemy numbers are just too many. We can't stop several tribes spreading out to attack us, therefore in the end we had to gather all the citizens at the capital, waiting for the enemy to run out of food but our food condition may worsen first."

"What a headache, the future is  shrouded in darkness."

"Also to take down the general, how about we choose a few elites to attack them, though it seems to be an unnecessary move that may anger them but it is still better than doing nothing."

"If so, the one leading this time will be him?"

"Yes him"

They are both refering to one person, within this kingdom's only  Adamantite adventurer group, "Crystal Tear". That one person with a title of " Fierce Flash" called  Cerabrate, which is also a person with "holy lord" class.

"That person is definately a lolicon, when I was talking to him, he was staring at me  lecherously. If he is happy to be loooking at flat things, he might as well go stare at a wall." (ZT: LOL XD)

"It is just a fetish, and oh yeah, he really is a lolicon."

The queen's face started to frown.

"I really hope you didn't say that...I really hope our country had more normal  Adamantite adventurers"

"What are you talking about? If you act a little more cute and innocent, he will risk his life to fight, wouldn't he be the most suitable for us right now?"

"But when the time comes...I must satisfy his desires....Oi! Don't look at me like a roasted pig sent for tomorrow's feast!"

She then popped her veins at the minister signing.

"It is only at this degree, your highness. It is a lot better than the citizens being eaten literally, so please bear with it."

The queen cannot refute him.

"If I had more money, I would have also hire the whole "Optics" group, speaking of which what the hell is Slane Theocracy doing?"

"Well, I am not sure."

"Didn't we donate to them a lot of money every year? Normally, they would have rushed here. Even if it is not black scripture, why are they not sending sunlight scripture here?" ( ZT: they are wiped out duh. XD)

Slane Theocracy supporting the kingdom was not publicised because she herself is the top of this country.

"Relying on other country for protection caused this situation in the end. It is quite depressing."

"Do you think I want to rely on other countries? It is because I had no choice, the military cost is already quite heavy, if the spending increases, country will become bankrupted! Also, even we did spent money on it, it's not like the army would suddenly get stronger, it takes time."

The country had already spent a lot against the beastman every year for a long time now, but the situation is still like that, but it can also be said that the spending managed to delay and control the situation till now.

"If Slane Theocracy had abandoned us, how about we seek help from the Empire? If our country got destroyed, wouldn't the Empire be next?"

"There is still  Katze Plains, so it won't be the Empire immediately. If we follow the route around the lake, then  Slane Theocracy could be next. "

"So even the beastman would not be brave enough to rush an undead spawning ground."

They also discarded the idea of the dragon rider tribe of being invaded.

"It is not brave, but more about undeads being inedible to them, there is no benefit in ruling that place. Only an undead would be happy to aquire that place. (ZT: Ainz! XD) And the Empire is also quite busy, their annual war is coming."

"It seems to be started later this year."

"Yeah, it is late by half a year and it seems to be due to some magic caster's declaration, want me to check it out?"

"Whatever happens to the other countries, I am more concerned about what to do to save our country!"

"Well your highness started the topic first....how about using your magic?"

The queen shake her head at the minister's suggestion, so his impression on wild magic is only so far. The queen smile wryly.

"Wild magic... usable due to my body flowing with 1/8 of dragon's blood but at worst it only delays the inevitable, only to be used as last resort."

"Last resort....I hope that day won't come but I will try to seek reinforcement again from Slane Theocracy."

"Please do so."

The minister give a cold glance at the queen's response that is similar to innocent cute child.

"Your highness, if you have the energy to spare, please write thirty letters of encouragement to the generals at the frontline, of course using a child's hand writing."

"Bring me alcohol! I can't write that when I am sober."

"Understood, you can drink all you want but don't overdo it, I need you to finish your work today."

After the minister left, the queen stares at her own hands.

"Wild magic.."

Wild magic is different from typical magic, it require spending and using of souls to cast. Which therefore require sacrificing a lot of people, destroying the link in the soul to cast a strong magic. After hearing from her great grandfather dragonlord before that this magic can even cast a spell similar to Platinum Dragon Lord's ultimate explosion attack. But for a person far weaker than a dragon lord like her, the sacrifice for it would be huge, estimating to be around millions.

She cover her face, no matter what, there would only be hell, causing her tremble at this premonition.

(ZT: If someone can just maybe go save her and her country, but who could that be? XD)
