I have to hypnotize you, Aura!

"If you kneel down now, clinging to my feet and begging me, I might be able to get a monster to protect you a little, you know?"

?

Fingel's forehead vein throbbed, and he couldn't help but press his tongue against his cheek... Hajiu, you bastard.

Ah, Ah, whenever I try to be nice to you, you always come up with some new tricks.

'Wait a minute...we'll settle the score with you after today is over.'

Since he could use Aura now, he decided to go along with her for the time being.

“Oh yes, yes, I’m so scared,” Fingel replied with a forced smile. “After all, I’m very weak and need the help of the Aura people. I won’t leave the powerful, beautiful, and great Aura.”

"So please, Lord Aura, protect me and the townspeople here."

Upon hearing these words, Aura couldn't help but raise his head, looking somewhat pleased.

"Hum~"

"Without me, a weakling like you would definitely die, wouldn't you?"

...

wipe.

Did I give you face?

I'll kill you, you bastard?

In a fit of rage, Fingel roared, "You wicked sorceress, tonight I'll...!"

Soon, the enemy arrived.

The scent of wheat and the smell of blood wafted from not far away, followed by the heavy clatter of horses' hooves and the cries of humans.

From a distance, it appeared to be dozens, even nearly a hundred, knights wielding long spears, chasing down the guard. They were slaughtering the hunters, who were not very well trained, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Huh? That's... the flag of the Kingdom of Brand? What is this, looting?"

"No, it should be 'intrusion',"

Fingel thought to himself, "Trouble is brewing. Sure enough, I'm going to run into this kind of trouble..." Originally, these things should have been the Orson family's concern, but now the Orson family is all dead except for Fat William, who is a slave in Aura. Having taken over the town, they will also have to accept this human conflict.

Dozens of armored knights, the kind capable of killing magical beasts, this can't be a weak force.

Furthermore, the difference in combat strength between warriors and ordinary people is huge here; warriors who can ride horses are generally more powerful.

Without me, this would have been a one-sided massacre.

what.

Ugh, this is so annoying. I was just giving a brief comment.

Fingel just wanted to enjoy the benefits of his noble status, but it would be troublesome to sacrifice himself for these people... Fortunately, the enemy wasn't too strong this time.

...

"what!!!"

With a single spear thrust, the hunter squad's vice-captain was killed. The enemy cavalry captain looked with a serious expression at the group of people outside the town of Frisch... to be precise, the group of monsters and the headless armored soldiers.

There must be more than a hundred in total.

"Why are there so many monsters here? Can someone tell me there's no defense here? And what's with that female demon?"

The cavalry captain's expression was not good. He had only heard that the town of Frisch had become quite wealthy recently, and that he was trying to take advantage of the situation after the lord's death.

But what's with these monsters?

“Count Granat, it must be that demon beast controlled by the demon race... It seems the rumors are true. Sure enough, the nobles here are involved with the demon race.” A cavalryman next to him spat disdainfully. Colluding with the demon race, what scum.

"Heh... Oh well, they're just a bunch of small fry anyway, a mere demon."

The cavalry captain, now known as the Count of Granat, uttered a few words of sullen resignation, his greed finally overcoming his hesitation... The town of Frisch is truly wealthy.

I heard that the nobles here invented a special product called 'smoke' which is very popular, and even their king likes it very much.

"Charge! Kill them!"

............................

"It's Brand's savage!"

"Help! Lord Orson... no, Lord Orson is dead!"

"Lord Fingel! ...Please, protect the town!"

"Please, I beg you, Lord Aura..."

"..."

The townspeople who had come together wore expressions of despair... Dozens, dozens of cavalrymen! They could easily wipe out the entire town!

Furthermore, the people of the Kingdom of Brand are notorious for their cruelty; their nobles and kings frequently send soldiers to plunder the villages and towns of their neighboring countries, creating panic.

In some ways, the townspeople were even more afraid of these cavalry than the demons...afraid of the outcome where the men of the town would be killed, their property stolen, and the women wantonly violated.

Therefore, they were quite terrified and even hoped that Fingel could get rid of Aura, who was clearly a demon.

"Look, even these humans know that I am the powerful one, and that I understand hierarchy better than you."

Aura looked at the cavalry with disdain, a hint of delight in his expression. These soldiers would make excellent puppets.

"You should respect and admire me more, understand?"

[Another batch of useful soldiers can be added... That's great.]

[Cavalry should be faster, but could we find some warriors who can capture that traitor Fingel? That guy always tries to humiliate me with those disgusting things because of his speed... Hmm, at least we need to control those leading knights.]

[I'm going to make them force Fingel to his knees and lick my toes. This guy is getting more and more ungrateful; I'm the master here!]

?

Oh, this is getting more and more outrageous.

He finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Cut the nonsense."

Fingel, with a tactical stern expression, slapped Awula's round, firm buttocks.

So you think you can be all sunshine and rainbows just because you're given a little face?

"?"

Caught off guard by the slap, Aura was initially stunned. For some reason, she did something that was not in line with the behavior of the demon race and subconsciously covered her own abdomen.

Ouch... This guy, he actually...!

This happened in front of so many people!

Fortunately, because they were surrounded by monsters and everyone's attention was focused on the cavalry in front, no one noticed.

Aura has doubts about you.

Fasting feels a bit strange... It's painful at the same time, but it also feels comfortable.

Damn it, things have become strange.

Aura frowned as she looked at Fingel, her face full of displeasure.

"I'll kill you! Fingel, are you a pervert?"

[How dare he do that in front of so many people... Damn it, does this guy have any respect for me at all?]

[Bastard, pervert, hentai, idiot, smutty, how can humans get aroused (censored) at the ground all the time?]

Looking at the scrolling entries, the perpetrator showed no remorse whatsoever.

"Please stop nagging, okay? Lord Aura, don't you think about who will serve you after these humans are gone?"

Fingel sneered. "I'm giving you face by calling you 'sir,' but who's really the livestock here?"

He slightly raised his hand, making the threatening gesture of "Pavlov's Dog"—Aura's hands trembled instantly, and beads of sweat trickled down the back of his neck, down his shoulder blades.

A physical reaction she couldn't understand surged into her mind, and she was about to make a move! No, absolutely not...

"Eat them up."

She immediately stopped talking back and silently controlled her magical beast.

[Damn it... I must find a way to break that weird magic!]

Aura hardened her heart and for the first time made the decision to learn magic other than obedience magic.

'hehe. ’

Fingel couldn't deny it; my hypnosis is invincible. No, let's rename it "Mirror Flower Water Moon" from now on.

Chapter 69: I didn't care about you at all

The cavalry and the monsters went to war. The monsters, manipulated by Aura's magic, were fearless and difficult to deal with. However, she was actually a very young demon, and her combat strength was far less than when she fought Frilian in the original story. The strength of her puppets was also limited.

The cavalry, being well-trained, were exceptionally powerful, and for a time the monsters could only barely put up a fight.

The Granat family is a relatively well-known noble family located in southern Frisch. In recent years, they have been expanding their territory northward, and many nobles have been directly attacked and forced to flee their territories.

Therefore, the battle was extremely intense. The townspeople, armed with pitchforks, rusty daggers, and all sorts of junk weapons that had been sitting around for decades, were completely useless. Instead, they were easily caught in the crossfire and killed after joining the battle.

But their fighting spirit remained high, and they persevered without retreating—because their homeland was right behind them.

It would have been better if their noble lord had shouted "Follow me!" instead of "Attack!"

Fingel stayed next to Aura the whole time, standing at the very end of the line.

Half an hour had passed since the battle began, and the cavalry had not yet charged forward, protected by the monsters and puppet soldiers.

“I say, Fingel, is it really necessary to fight these guys to protect these humans?” Aura said with a displeased expression. “I’ve already lost quite a few of my servants.”

Aura didn't want to fight to the death. She suddenly realized that although she really wanted to control these people, the risk was too great. At present, she could only control the enemies one by one, but when she cast magic, they were easily taken advantage of.

"Lord Aura, these people have been serving you all along, how can they just leave like this?" Fingel was both amused and exasperated. This foolish demon was truly heartless. "Even if you're a demon, you should at least think things through. Who will serve us from now on?"

Aura is suspicious of your words.

[Failed to generate entry.]

Aura found it absurd, tilting her head and raising her eyebrows with a suspicious look.

"Huh? Just find another human noble to control somewhere else. Although there are fewer human nobles, it's still easy to find them, right?"

"Are you really someone who cares about other people?"

[Honestly... Fingel always does unnecessary things. He probably doesn't want to leave because he wants to sleep with those maids, right?]

[A bastard man spouting nonsense....]

?

Fingel couldn't hold back when he heard this. To be questioned about one's character by a demon? That's ridiculous.

And who would want to sleep with those maids?

nonsense!

I have the right to choose, okay? I'll take both women with big breasts and small breasts, but the prerequisite is that they all have to be good-looking!

While the maids selected from the village were of above-average looks, they were far better than those like Flame and Aura, who were both beautiful and elegant. I only flirted with those maids a little, okay?

Fingel was having a headache. Had Aura's misunderstanding of him become a stereotype? He had to find an opportunity to teach that bitch demon a lesson.

"I told you to stop arguing! Lord Aura, they're definitely after our wealth this time." Fingel's face darkened tactfully. "Your daily expenses are beyond the reach of most nobles. Even if we abandon this place, this situation will still occur."

"It would be better to manage a territory properly."
