''Phoenix's tail, Holy White Dragon's tears, Holy White Serpent's escaping shell, Unicorn's horn.......''
Yeah. I'll mix them into the fertilizer.

　There was a seedling that grew from the ground about twenty centimeters out of the corner of my uncle Kosuke's eye.

''So you're taking in the power of these so-called holy beasts. With the gods [us], their power is too strong, and it would strengthen the influence of the divine Demon Poison, and even the divine beasts, the amber ones, are no good.''
It's kind of a difficult balance to strike, isn't it?

　If he gave it too much divine power, the tree would also become a god's family member. Then, instead of purifying it, it would be strongly affected by the toxicity of the divine Demonic Poison, and it would easily wither away.
　I understand that these are materials that have a purifying effect. Phoenix is a regenerative being, and unicorns have healing powers. So we're going to take these powers and strengthen the "Sacred Tree"?
　But what's a bit troublesome is that these are holy beasts.
　They are not demonic beasts. In other words, they are not something that can harm humans. They have high intelligence and are able to communicate with people.
　Well, it's just that we can't just defeat them and get their materials. We have to negotiate and get them to give it to us.

''I think we can manage the Holy Dragon, the Holy White Snake, and the Phoenix. Holy White Dragon is under Ruri's command, and I think Holy White Snake and Phoenix will be fine as long as Coral, Black Sun and Red Jade can talk. The problem is the unicorns.
''Hmm. What about you, Amber?　Even a holy beast would still be a beast species. Can't you do something about it?
'That seems to be quite incompatible... and it seems to be a fight for sure first. Amber said, ''Feel free to hunt those guys down! And.
'Oh, that's no good. If you kill it, that unicorn's regret and resentment will corrode the horn and stain the power of its purification. That would be useless.

　Unicorns live in a special forest in the Great Tree Sea. It's a place isolated from the outside world, where no one is allowed to penetrate it. Well, I can go in there.
　I have a friendly relationship with the Lauri, the tribe of the Tree King, who govern the Great Sea of Trees.
　But the problem is that unicorns don't go near men. To be more precise, they only allow unadulterated virgins to come near them. In other words, they can't touch non-virgins, even women, apparently.
　They seem to have a pretty fierce and temperamental character, attacking men and non-virgins without mercy, and if they were caught, they would rot off their horns and take their own lives. I don't know if I hate it that much....
　Anyway, it's a troublesome creature.

''Well, I'll try to collect them somehow.
Okay. Please. As long as we have that, we should be able to complete the 'Holy Tree' that will purify the divine Demon Poison.

　Well. I've got a collaborator, though....
　I hope they don't all draw back.




"Unicorns, that is....
"The point is, you're a womanizing skank, right?　I'll take care of it.

　Else speaks quite harshly. The value of the holy beast is also dumbing down.
　Since we can't defeat them and get them, we have no choice but to negotiate to get them to give them away. If they're going to turn their hostility towards men and non-virgins, then there's no choice but to leave that role to the pure maidens.
　 What a lousy check, right?
　We came to the Great Sea of Trees with my fiancé and all of our fiancés, thinking that the more girls there were, the more willing the unicorn would be to give up its horn.
　The Lauri tribe is the "Tree King's Tribe" that governs the Great Sea of Trees. We were given permission to enter the Unicorn Forest by Pam, the tribe's chief.

Do you can communicate with the unicorns?
''According to Amber, it seems to be okay. The holy beasts are quite intelligent, so they can speak human language and communicate with each other without any problems.

　Hilda's question is answered by me. Well, most of all, in this case, the problem is that I'm too intelligent to have a weird obsession with it.

'I know I've talked to a few unicorns before but I'm pretty bigoted, right?　And my attitude is 180 degrees different depending on who I'm dealing with. It's not uncommon for me to treat a clean maiden like a knight, but to hurl abuse at any other woman.
"Seriously?

　I'm tired of hearing from Leanne. If it's a woman who isn't clean and that's it, I don't know what they say about men.

'How do they know, huh?
You know ... the smell?
It's kind of disgusting, isn't it...

　Lou looks disgusted by the content of Linse and Sakura's conversation.
　Is it a smell, or is it a pheromone thing? I'm sniffing out and identifying such things........either way, it's perverted.

''Oh?　It's a winter night, a fountain. It's beautiful.

　As we walked through the forest, we found a large spring in an open area. The scenery, with its crystal-clear water, gave us the illusion of a mysterious spring, the "Cenote" in the Yucatan Peninsula.

''Fuyao-san, look at that........look at that.
It's a unicorn...

　At the end of Yumina's point, a unicorn was drinking from a spring.
　It looks like a white horse. But it has a long spiral horn extending from its forehead. You have to get that thing at all costs.

''I'd better not get any closer to it.
Yeah. I'm already wary of you. I'm not stupid enough to know what he's capable of, so he's probably not going to attack you.

　Lean was right, the unicorn had stopped drinking water and was looking at us. That's a bad look in your eyes!　I feel like I'm being stared at by a baddie or something.

"Tsk.

　A tongue-tied sheet of paper... Hey, I just saw that guy do it. A unicorn goes on a tongue.

It's not what I had in mind, that it's not what I expected...
'Yes. I feel like I'm a bit wishy-washy...?

　Yae and Hilda look at each other and furrow their brows.

'I guess that means unicorns have a lot of pins and needles. So who's going to go?
He seems a bit dour, that he is.... How about Lou-dono, that it is?
'What?　I, myself?
It's okay.　She's a princess, so maybe she's perfect for it.

　With Else and Yae on board, it was decided that Lou would go first.
　Slowly, Roo approached under the unicorn that was standing by the spring.
　The unicorn didn't take his gaze off Lou as he came up to the front of him and stared at him the whole time. It's as if the delinquent is wearing a gun.

''Ko, hello. My name is Lucia. Can I talk to you for a moment........

　The unicorn moved to the side to avoid Lou, who turned a smile on his face and spoke up.
　........eh?
　As Lou spun around to the front of the unicorn, the unicorn returned to its original position again. Lou follows it, and it shifts to the side again. It's obvious that it's avoiding Lou.

''Um.........!
Don't do it.

　The unicorn is the first to speak. We stiffen at her words. The unicorn says it prefers and misses the pure maiden. The fact that the existence of the unicorn is rejected by the unicorn means....

No, it's not⁉︎

　Lou comes running towards us with a loud voice. He looks extremely desperate. You have a few tears in your eyes.

I am pure!　I would never do such a thing with anyone other than Fuyu-sama!　Please believe me!
Yeah, I know. I know. Let's get it together, okay?

　Other than me, I mean, I'm not quite there yet either. Lou looks so desperate that I flinch a bit.

'....What do you mean by that?

　As she was comforting Lou, Yumina beside her twisted her head.

''Yumina-san!　Are you doubting my fidelity too, Mr. Yumina?
'Oh, not exactly. A unicorn who is a maiden and yet avoids it.... Strange, isn't it?

　Indeed. Of course I'm not doubting Lou's chastity as she clings to me with tears in her eyes either. Then it's that unicorn that's strange.

''Is it not the type I like?　Then the exact opposite... well, Yae go ahead and try it.
"Lord Lean........ There's something tricky about the way you say it, that it is........

　After glancing at Lean, Yae walked underneath the unicorn.
　But the unicorn still avoided Yae and ducked her hand that was trying to touch her.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

I'm not going to be the only one who can do that. You'll smell like a man!
No, that's not it.

　Yae runs towards me, crying just like Lou. As if to tackle her, she also clung to me, just like Lou.

'I would never do that with another man!　Never!
Yeah, I know. I'm the one who smells like a man, I think.

　Apparently, that unicorn is quite a germaphobe. Apparently he can't tolerate even the slightest shadow of a man.
　Nevertheless, I'll have to at least listen to him anyway.

'I'll go next.'
The cherry blossoms?　Are you okay?
I'll be fine. I don't care what you say. I'll just tell him what it is.

　Sakura approached the unicorn while singing a small song. The unicorn may have been intrigued by Sakura's song, but she doesn't show any signs of running away. It's partly because Sakura stopped further away than Lou and Yae.
　When she finished singing, Sakura said her business with a bang.

'We want your horns. Give it to us.
I thought he was a bit better than that. I thought he was a bit better than that, but it's only for money, right? To pay off that guy?

　Unicorn horn is said to cure any illness or injury in no time at all if it is ground into powder and drunk. For this reason, it has always been sold at a high price. It's no wonder that people thought it was a money grabber.
　But I was getting angry at that unicorn. If I hadn't listened to her, she would have said whatever she wanted to say to Sakura. Who the hell do you think you are?

"...Are we going to kill that bad horse now, that we are?　Wouldn't it be unholy if you chopped his head off as fast as you could without feeling resentment or regret?

　Yae mumbles to me as if she were speaking for my feelings.
　Well, wait. Let's save that as a last resort. As expected, killing her is not good.

I'll tell you in a moment. It's just that we're the ones asking the unicorns to give up their horns, and that's what makes it so troublesome.
So what are you going to do?
"We can make it look like, 'Here you go, take the horn,'

　I'm not going to mess with that unicorn anymore. The point is, as long as you're willing to let me turn the corner comfortably, right?　Then there are plenty of ways to do it.
　Hmmm.... You rotten unicorn, I'll show you heaven.

You still look as bad as ever, that you do...
'You're getting some terrible ideas, aren't you?　You always do.

　Yae and Else are saying something, but I go through with it.
　I call Sakura back and this time I stepped in front of the unicorn.
　The unicorn's eyes have gone up another level from the delinquent gunslinger. A hateful look pierces through me.

'You seem to hate men quite a bit.
"Huh?　Don't talk to me, you idiot. I hate you haremies more than anything else. You stink like you're my girl, and I haven't even touched you. Relax, d*mn it!　Go to hell!

　For a moment, I'm worried that it's okay to use this guy's horns for the 'Holy Tree'. Isn't he corrupting the darkness?
　Oh, well. Just go ahead and do it.

"[Prison]
What?

　I deploy a [Prison] with a radius of about two meters around the unicorn. There's no more escape with this.

''What the hell are you doing, you!　Let me out of here!　Let me out, or I'll have this corner rotten!　A good idea... Yeah, right.
Well, relax. I'm going to call your favorite beautiful girl now.
"What?
'[In the name of the Spirit King. Come, spirits]. Summon!

　Three beautiful girls appear in [Prison]. They were beautiful spirit maidens in their early teens at the time of the year. All three were beautiful girls of unparalleled beauty.

''Whoops!''

　The unicorn makes a joyful noise. You dirty horse. I hope you enjoy your brief moment of heaven.

I'm not done. There it is.

　Another beautiful girl of a different type than the first two appeared in the Prison, and another one after another. One girl put her arm around the unicorn's neck and forced her to sit down, and then the girls who appeared one after another held her down.

'Uhihihihihi!　I don't smell like a man!　Definitely the finest damsels in the world!　I can't get enough of this guy!

　More and more spirit maidens appeared inside the 【Prison】, and the unicorns were getting squeezed tighter and tighter. However, the person in question looks happy with a big smile on his face.
　Seeing this as an opportunity, I propose a negotiation.

What do you think?　Give me your horns and I'll let you play with those spirits in there for a whole day, okay?
"A day?　Han, three days. Three days. Or else I won't like it.
Tsk, greedy bastard. Okay, three days. I'll take the horns first. Don't worry. I'm a man of my word.

　I gave [Prison] permission for the unicorn's horn alone to pass through, and sputtered and slashed the horn that was presented to the outside with Brunhild. It was the horn that was presented to him because he wanted it. It's not unholy. I should have done it this way all along.

"We'll hold up our end of the bargain. You can't lose these girls in the process.
I'm a man of my word. I'm sorry, guys, but you're going to have to play nice with this guy for three days. Yeah, you can go back to your old self now.
""Usssssss!"
Huh?

　The unicorn let out a dumb voice at the wild voice that suddenly emanated from the beautiful girl.
　The maidens who had been entangled with the unicorn were transformed one by one into a macho brother and a muscular old man. Surrounded by the physical beauty of bodybuilders, the unicorn was sniffling and opening his mouth wide.

'Wha, what is this?

　What's this, macho old man, they're the physical beauty of the household of the stone spirits. Rugged old man... It's very manly.
　It's natural that they don't smell like men. Spirits don't smell like men, of course they don't. And when I, the spirit king, summons them to the earth, they can change their appearance and appear in any way they want.

I'll give you some drinks, food and snacks. I'll bring you some drinks, food and snacks.

　I'm going to transfer a barrel of booze and food into the [Prison]. We should make this muscular three-day heaven fun. "Whoa!　A feast! And the spirits were in a state of excitement. The unicorn was dripping with tears, snot, and drool, though. 'Dirty.

'Wait, wait!　No more promises!　Get me out of here!　Hiyyy, my muscles!　I'm sweating!''
Hahaha. Ha-ha-ha, don't be shy. You'll be happy to be surrounded by men. I'm not going to.
"Ah!　Wait!　Puffy, puffy, puffy!　Aiiiiii!　Don't touch it, don't hold it!'
f*ck.

　I leave the place without looking back. Yumina and the others are looking at us with indescribable faces, but this way we've got our horns, and all is well.
　Later, Pam, the chief of the Great Tree Sea, tells me that a furry unicorn has appeared, who doesn't attract any women and only rubs up against men with muscular muscles.
　He must have found his happiness.
　Needless to say, he let it pass unknowingly, of course.
