- From the Harpy's Nest--

There's something out there.
What were the guards doing?

　The Harpy is a demon, but intelligent, and is skilled at working in groups and the art of defending himself.
　The harpy was near the entrance to the nest, and immediately noticed something strange and looked outside.
　He was astonished.

　The next thing he realized was that the light was a magical light trying to attack our nest, as if morning had arrived, and then everything was swallowed up.

　The nest crumbled down without a trace.
　Our friends are burned by the magic and crushed by the crumbling ceiling.
　But some of them escape the difficulty and fly away.
　If only we could escape into the air, there is nothing in the dungeon that could attack us!

(((((What? !))))

　A flock of us harpies flying through the air were suddenly swallowed up by the water.
　Harpies aren't good at swimming.
　They don't usually swim.

((((What's happening?!))))

　They fell without making a calm decision.
　The Harpies were slammed into the subterranean lake.

- Aya Sasaki's Point of View -

Mr. Sasaki!
Yes, Takatsuki and the others succeeded!
　We were lurking behind a waterfall in an underground lake when the ceiling came crashing down with a roar and we ran outside.　

　The harpies rained down, along with the remnants of a hateful harpy nest.
　Caught in the massive amount of water.

''Lucy-sama's 'Fire and Earth Mixed Magic, Meteor Shower' and Takatsuki-sama's 'Super Grade Magic, Water Dragon'. It's an exorbitant combo.
"There are great sea serpents and great king crocodiles in the subterranean lakes. They must think of the Harpy as food.
He's going to get attacked as soon as he can.
　The babbling harpy tries to escape, but the aquatic demon seems to have the better part of the pie.

''Yes!'' Hoy!
　Nina and I knocked the sometimes escaping harpies down to the surface of the water again, with Nina and me.
　The harpies are pulled into the water, screaming and screaming.
　Family Kataki!
　I'm not gonna let one of them get away.

Huh, huh, I wonder if there's anyone else out there.
All we have to do is find the queen...
　We looked for him, but he was nowhere to be found.
　Did he get away?

Hey, Mr. Nina.
　After a while, Takatsuki-kun and Lucy came down, and she was holding a small umbrella-like item in her hand.
　They have a small umbrella-like item in their hands.

　It seems to be an item called a "parachute".
　It is said to be a magic tool that, when unfolded, can be used to fall down from a high place with ease.
　Fujiwara-kun has a very useful tool.

What do you think?　Did you defeat Queen Harpy?
'Not yet, ne. I don't know if you were among the fallen.　
How's the enemy detection going?
There's too many to identify.　

　Where are you?
　Where is the master of the enemy?　

　It was noisy, the dungeon gradually quieted down.
　It seems that the Harpy has been defeated, for the most part.

'That was a quick one. Let's go home and celebrate.
'Hey, Lucy. Those things are flags.
You can't be too careful, Master Lucy.
　Lucy was already in triumphant mode, but Takatsuki and Nina chided her.

　I, too, was feeling a little drunk with victory.
　We were able to round up all the Harpies that we couldn't touch so well!

　Then I heard a singing voice.
　A faint singing voice that I seemed to miss.
　What is it, like pleasant music?
　It doesn't sound like a dungeon.

'Huh?　Can't you hear anything?
What is that.....　It does sound like something.
I think I just heard something...
　We looked around.




'You've done it,'
　And then he shows up.

　We all turn around at once.
　Beautiful light brown feathers on a well-formed face.
　Queen of the Harpies is there.
　Queen Harpy is talking and singing.
　Dexterous.

"You can't be serious.　The Siren's Song!
　Nina exclaimed impatiently.

'What? Isn't it Queen Harpy?'
'You must have evolved and gained the Siren's ability!　This guy's voice attracts men. Lord Takatsuki, don't listen to his singing voice!

　Takatsuki-kun looks at Queen Harpy with a slightly puzzled look on his face.

　It doesn't matter!
　I'll kill you before you get to me!
　That's what I thought, and I was trying to get closer.　

'Do you think it's okay for the wizard man to die?'
　With a grin, Queen Harpy laughed.

'Wizard man!　Put the dagger against your own neck.
　As his voice instructed, Takatsuki-kun brought the dagger to his neck.

''Sheesh!'' Nina exclaims.
'Well, really,' Lucy gasps, holding her wand in her hands.

'Huh, my voice works exceptionally well with human men. It's just a stroke of luck that I had a man in my group.'
The Siren's voice fascinates men. The person who attacked Master Sasaki's companions was also controlled by this guy, so that's why he's called Shaw.
　Nina says in frustration.
　So that's what happened.........

''Look who it is, it's Lamia's child who I thought I killed back then....... I didn't know you were alive.''
　He glares at me hatefully.
　I glare back at him with murderous eyes, too.

'Your whole family is dead. That's not too shabby.
'The Harpies will rise again and again as long as I, the queen, am alive. That's a shame.
　He's going to make fun of me and tell me to make fun of him.
　d*mn it!　That's right.
　We Lamia tribe are finished now that the Great Mother has been killed.

"Don't move. Human men, come slowly towards me. If one of your women attacks me, you will cut your own head off and kill yourself.
　Takatsuki-kun nodded his head in obedience to his voice.

''Oh, no........'' said Lucy in a sad voice.
''.........Nina-san seems to be looking for an opportunity, but she can't move.

(What should I do....)

　I can't move carelessly when Takatsuki-kun is taken hostage.
　I took turns looking at Queen Harpy and Takatsuki-kun.
　I noticed.

(Takatsuki-kun?)

He was supposed to be mesmerized by "The Siren's Voice" or something like that.
　He was staring at me.
　His eyes are clear, and he doesn't seem to be mesmerized.

(Not being manipulated?)

　Takatsuki-kun is slowly approaching Queen Harpy while staring at us.
　His eyes seem to appeal to me in some way.

(Alright.)

　I focus my power on my right hand.
　It's called the 'action game player/tame attack' skill that I used to do unconsciously.
　Of course, even if I went to attack as I am now, it wouldn't work.......

'You girls should stay here. You're in luck. If I had my children, I would feed them. Human men will take it.

　I continue to believe in Takatsuki-kun and continue to build up my strength.
　It's going to be okay, I'm sure.

'Human men are really stupid, aren't they? They say I look like a goddess when they hear me sing. Some of them even kneel down the moment they meet me.
　The triumphant look on his face is annoying.

'Here, why don't you lick my foot? It's a goddess' foot.
　Perhaps in good spirits, Queen Harpy thrusts her legs in front of Takatsuki-kun.
　It's abominable, but it's beautiful enough to convince men to be attracted to it.

'Well, you really let him lick your foot......... I'm so jealous.......what a terrible thing to do!
Excuse me, Miss Lucy?
　Nina is stumped.　
　We'll ask Lucy what she said later.

　Takatsuki-kun slowly bends down to put his face close to Queen Harpy's feet.

'How can such a dirty foot be a goddess' foot?
What?

　Queen Harpy's ankles were cut off!

Geez!
　The screaming Harpy Queen has something like an icicle stuck in her eyes.
　Did she use magic at the same time as she slashed at it with her dagger?
　When did this thing go off?

"Sir!　Now!
　Takatsuki-kun shouts.

　That's right, it's now or never.
　I used my 'dash' ability to close the distance at once.

　Without killing its momentum, I slammed my right fist, which 'accumulated' power, into the enemy's torso.

''Gahaha!''
　A large hole opens up in Queen Harpy's stomach.
　My fist pierces through my enemy's body.

''d*mn you.......you!
　The joke seems to still have breath in it.
　Queen Harpy's claws are closing in on me, trying to tear me apart.

--Supan

　Takatsuki's dagger cut off Queen Harpy's head.
　Collapsing, the head rolled away.
　Isn't the sharpness of that dagger too much?

Oh, thank you, Takatsuki.
Kataki's dead, S-San.

　The tension I had been tense with dissolved and I fell toward Takatsuki.

(Oh, I'm covered in blood.)

　I tried to move away, but Takatsuki caught me and hugged me, not caring that I was about to move away.

'Good job.'
Yes.

(I took the kataki, Mother, my sisters, all the Kyoudais...)

　I rested my head on Takatsuki-kun's shoulder and closed my eyes.
