7th Demon Prince Jilbagias' Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling-Chapter 163: A Masterpiece
===
「Come on now, Lyla-chan! No need to hide with your hands, let him see your wonderful new attireeeeeeeee!」
「U-Uuuu…」
Prompted by Xemône who spoke like a pervert, Lyla lowered her hands, which had been covering her chest, hesitatingly.
「..D-Does it… suit me? Is it not weird…?」
Lyla looked at me with her teary, golden eyes, her face completely flushed red as a red sheen was visible on her white, almost translucent skin.
I was frozen on the spot upon seeing that, unable to move.
「It's… The best…」
If it were a choice between whether it suited her or not, there was no doubt that it suited her. There was an overwhelming charm and allure that made it impossible for me to avert my gaze—— I had to admit that, albeit reluctantly.
But this was not the kind of outfit an unmarried girl could wear!
Even a dancer at a run-down tavern would be wearing something a bit more modest than this!
…I mean, could this even be called a dress? It was practically just leather straps, wasn't it? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
「W-Well, is it not uncomfortable? If you don't like it, you can take it off, you know?」
「It's not… Uncomfortable. I-It's not that I dislike it, but…」
Lyla, fidgeting and shifting slightly, let out a heated sigh.
「How is it? It looks good, right? It's securely fastened, but it won't interfere with her breathing or blood flow! Now, let me explain its' perks!」
Xemône said "Try to raise your hand, Lyla-chan!" with an excited voice.
「Y-Yes…」
「That's it, now clasp your hands behind your head… Great! Lo and behold!」
Xemone spoke with the brightest smile ever today.
『Ho ho, a feast for the eyes, a feast for the eyes. Thou art indeed a fortunate one.』
Uhm…
「The name of this equipment is 【Kizuna(Bond)】! As per His Highness's request, it is designed to be worn under everyday clothes, easy to carry, and exceptionally lightweight!」
Well, if the surface area was that small, of course it was lightweight!
「As you can see, the design is almost entirely completed on the upper body. Since a tail and wings appear when transforming back into her dragon form, we've made sure that those parts won’t interfere!」
As Xemône had said, she gently traced her finger from Lyla's chest down to her waist. "Uhmm" Leila let out a soft moan, as if it tickled her. —— At that moment, I felt like running away from this situation as fast as I could.
「To prevent any shifting during intense movements, the leather straps running across the neck, chest, and waist will transform into a harness, securing the saddle firmly. Now, turn around!」
Lyla turned around as instructed. The back portion was wide open.
「This part here, covering from the back of the neck to the base, will transform into a saddle in dragon form! This ribbon turns into stirrups, and the choker becomes the reins!」
I see. From that perspective, it was a well-thought-out design. The leather straps that tighten around Lyla's chest and the leather belt extending from her waist securely fix the saddle in place at the center of her body. With multiple points of support, it looks like it offers great stability.
「The harness of 【Kizuna】 is imbued to reach maximum durability, so it won't tear that easily! Moreover, if the straps are attacked, a magic spell is placed on it that will have the wearer, Lyla-chan, absorb the damage instead!」
What!?
「So if the straps are cut, Lyla takes the damage in its' place!?」
That was basically a curse! Why would you add such a function!?
「It's for your safety, Your Highness.」
Unfazed by my outrage, Xemône responded with a serious expression.
「Naturally, I've implemented that function after consulting with Lyla.」
「Your Highness… I'm actually the one who requested this function.」
Lyla glanced back briefly and said those words.
「Just in case the saddle were to come loose midair… In my dragon form, my scales can protect me from being slashed or from projectiles to some extent. More importantly, I thought it's better to ensure that the straps supporting you wouldn’t break when we fight enemies in the air.」
Though her words contained some hesitation, her eyes were serious.
「For your information, the design ensures that even if one strap snaps, the other parts will still provide support! Buuut, if you take an attack powerful enough to break through the magic protecting this equipment, there's a high chance that Lyla-chan won’t come out unscathed! In that case, I strongly recommend an immediate retreat or landing! This is my professional opinion as its creator of course!」
「…However, shouldn't that magic still be effective even in her humanized state?」
「Yes, it works even in her humanized state! However, this equipment is not armor! If you want to increase her defense in human form, please order separate armor for that!!」
A breathtaking level of shameless honesty…
「However, if she were to wear heavy armor in her human form, it will interfere when she is reverting back to her dragon form, making it completely pointless!」
「Uhm… Fair point.」
Frustrating as it was, I had no choice but to acknowledge that.
Lyla was training to focus more on evasion and defensive technique rather than martial arts, deflecting the first strike and immediately reverting to her dragon form… Pursuing higher defense in human form would be pointless.
「AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND! FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THIS 【KIZUNA】 IS STILL 『INCOMPLETE』!」
Xemône spoke with even more momentum than before.
「The completion of the product needs Your Highness's cooperation!」
「My… Cooperation?」
「Fufufu, there's no need to be so wary! I simply wish for a single drop of Your Highness's blood!」
「Then smear that blood on the choker on Lyla's neck!」 Added Xemône.
An equipment that had to be completed with my blood… Wasn't that a literal cursed tool?
I made a small cut on my hand with Adamas, then let the blood seep out onto the choker on Lyla's neck.
「Ah…」
As I stepped closer, Lyla lifted her face slightly, as if to show off the choker on her neck. The leather strap dug into her skin, revealing her pristine neck that was already flushed red at this point――『f I were a vampire, I might have sunk my teeth in right then and there』, A thought so unlike me, so utterly frivolous and wicked, briefly crossed my mind.
「Go ahead. Just a little touch here, and it will be complete!」
As instructed, I smeared my blood onto the choker――
And let the choker absorb it.
A red aura released from the harness with a throb. Lyla shivered as she raised a rather sexy moan.
『――It feels like I'm being embraced by you―― My heart is pounding non-stop――』
Yeah, there is the sound of my hea—
……Eh, Lyla?
『――What's the matter, Honey?――』
We looked at each other and blinked our eyes in shock.
「Ohh! It seems to be complete! This is the greatest feature and ultimate function of the enchanted saddle 【Kizuna】—【Telepathia】!」
Xemône explained proudly while puffing her chest.
「As long as both of you are touching 【Kizuna】, you can communicate through thoughts alone! I've heard that conversations can be difficult in high-altitude with strong winds, after all!」
Eh… then… Our inner thoughts will…
『――Will be completely exposed――』
Moreover, not just words, but even warm emotions would be shared…
Even the emotions we directed at each other were laid completely bare.
We looked at each other once again and blushed at the same time.
「Ohohohoho♡」
The shrieking Kusemone clasped her hands together in reverence and said, "Thank you for the feast". I hurriedly let go of the choker.
Seriously…
This woman added a really outrageous feature…
I mean, being able to communicate without shouting was insanely convenient… The wind made it hard to hear up in the sky, after all…
Seriously dude…
…Lyla's emotions felt incredibly soothing… It felt like I was completely submerged in something deep— Like a hot spring, or the ocean…
On the other hand, I wonder how I felt about her… That was the only thing that worried me…
「Alright! And with that! I proudly present the delivery of 【Kizuna】! This is the product I am quite confident that you’d be satisfied with it, but what do you think?!」
Xemône leaned back with a proud look on her face after she asked that question.
「Uhm… I think it's an amazing product…」
At the very least, there was no room for complaints when it comes to functionality.
「By the way, if I may mention a drawback, this masterpiece can only be fully utilized by Your Highness and Lyla-chan! The transformation function is exclusive to Lyla-chan, and only Your Highness can use 【Telepathia】so keep that in mind!」
"It can't be passed down to your children, either", Xemône added with a creepy laugh on her face, making both Lyla and me blush again.
「Well, um… I’d like to check how it performs in dragon form, just to be sure.」
「Sure, go ahead! We, unfortunately, can't leave this place, so we won't be able to accompany you, but I'm sure it will work perfectly fine!」
"If you run into any issues, don't hesitate to let me know!" Xemône shouted as we left the dwarf workshop behind.
「…」
We walked to the training grounds. Lyla was wearing her usual maid outfit, but she tightly gripped her skirt, her cheeks flushed as she looked down on the ground.
「… Are you okay?」
「Y-Yes… But somehow… Um, I just can't seem to relax…」
I understand that feeling all too well.
Lyla looked the same as always, but just knowing that she was wearing that incredibly erotic attire under her maid outfit was enough to make my face hot. … Even in this winter season.
And at the training grounds, though not in great numbers, beastfolk and demon warriors were also training diligently.
「Ah…」
Lyla reached for the ribbon of her maid outfit, ready to take it off, but then she froze. As expected, or rather, naturally, she was conscious of the eyes around her…
「… I'll cover you…」
Just in case something like this happened, I had borrowed a cloak from the dwarf workshop. I held it up, positioning myself as a makeshift screen. Yeah, I couldn't help but think, maybe this equipment really was a bit too revealing…
A soft rustle of fabric came from behind me.
「I-I've taken it off… P-Please get away a bit…」
――Lyla's presence swelled up behind me.
「Oooh, awesome.」
The slender, silver-scaled dragon form of Lyla was perfectly fitted with 【Kizuna】. The harness wrapped tightly around her arms and chest, as well as securing snugly beneath her ribcage, firmly fastening the saddle at the base of her neck.
「Well then… Uhm.」
「Yes, give it a try… Honey.」
Lyla lowered her body gracefully while gazing up at me with an upturned gaze in her dragon form.
I jumped nimbly on the saddle strapped on her back.
『―― Aaah――』
As soon as I took the reins, Lyla's embarrassed inner voice, her excitement, and the pounding of her heart were conveyed to me.
『――Though this outfit is kind of embarrassing, I'm still happy with it――』
Happy for being able to get me to ride on her back, was it?
Happy to be able to fly with me.
The fact that she feels that way about me made me both happy—— And guilty.
『――It's okay.I mean it――』
"You don’t need to worry", said Lyla as she turned her head to look at me. Even in her dragon form, her clear golden eyes remained the same.
… Let's get going.
「――As you wish, honey――」
Lyla's legs kicked the ground lightly and then flapped her wings.
――That day, for the first time in my life, I knew what 『flying in the sky』 truly meant for a dragon.
It feels so damn good and free.
