What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?

Chapter 980: Time To Bargain



The girl was still holding on to her umbrella but unlike the other time where it was opened, she was simply using it as a walking stick.

I guess it was because it was night right now and it wasn't raining either?

Bob and Katsuki were giving me a questioning look and I waved my hand and shook my head slowly, indicating that they should stay out of this and leave her to me.

The girl tilted her head at me, "Could this be fate? My, my, this is certainly interesting~"

I frowned at her, "Is this your doing as well?"

"Hmm? What is?"

"This Off-Worlder… Don't tell me you're also involved in this?" I asked, gesturing to the unconscious guy that was laying beside me.

She shifted her gaze to the longswords guy and she actually looked surprised, "Oh! So that's where he was! I was just wondering why I couldn't find him! You have my appreciation, mortal~"

She then went up to him but I stepped in front of her to block her. I remembered what she did with the last Off-Worlder after all.

The girl paused in front of me and looked at me with a confused expression, as though she didn't understand how I ended up in front of her.

"Hmm… What are you doing here, mortal?"

I sucked in a breath, "I'm afraid that I will have to ask you to leave that guy alone… I defeated him so I'm claiming spoils of war. He is currently under my care."

I'm not going to lie, it feels like this girl in front of me was several times stronger than I was despite the fact that I couldn't see her stats. The aura she was giving off was really just screaming at me that I would probably die if I were to try and fight her straight on.

That's why I was trying to see if a diplomatic approach would work.

Sure, Mother is nearby but I'd like to try to keep her involvement out of this if I could.

She continued to stare at me for a moment before she straightened herself, "Oh right… I suppose there was that kind of thinking… Hmm… How interesting… You are indeed very interesting, mortal. Fufu~ To think that you would even try to bargain with me… That is very interesting~"

She started to giggle before she looked straight at me, "I wish to take that thing back, so what would you like in exchange?"

Oh wow, she's actually willing to negotiate? I was worried that she might just push me aside and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Guess my plan worked?

I cleared my throat, "Ahem… We initially wanted to take him away with us to interrogate him for information. So if you want him back, I would be content with the information we want from him as the payment to be fair."

The girl tapped her umbrella on the ground and hummed, "Hmm… Hmm… That indeed sounds fair. Very well then. You can ask him five questions and he will answer truthfully. Afterwards, he is mine. Agreed?"

I'm already surprised that she even agreed in the first place so I wasn't going to try and bargain with her and just went with it.

I stuck out my hand to her, "Agreed."

She looked at my outstretched hand and stared at it for a good long minute before looking at me again with a questioning gaze.

I took my hand back, "Ah… I guess that must not be a custom you know. Two parties shake hands as a sign of agreeing to something…"

Her lips curled up into a smile and her eyes widened rather creepily, "Ohhh! Why didn't you say so?!"

She then reached out and grabbed the hand I took back before I could even react to her movement and she shook it with enough force to lift me off the ground slightly before putting me down again.

"There we go! Alright then! Can you step aside now?" She asked.

I looked down at my hand and I could see a red mark at where she had grabbed me, my hand still shaking slightly from the pain of her grabbing it.

I'm pretty sure she did not use her full strength either…

Without complaint, I stepped aside and allowed her to approach the guy.

At the side, I could still see Bob and Katsuki standing there, both prepared to jump in to fight her should she prove hostile but I guess they were still obeying my request of them staying away for now.

The girl went up to the guy and I was wondering what she was going to do to him when she lifted up her foot and stepped on his back with the heel of her high heeled boot.

"Ahhhnnn~ Yessss mommyyyyy~" The guy moaned, waking up instantly.

Holy crap… He reacted like he did earlier when I stepped on him because I was wearing the same type of shoes as this girl? And this girl did it to him and conditioned him to react like that, didn't she?

As though to confirm my thoughts, she smirked at him, "Who's a good pet?"

"Ahhh!! I am! I am! Woof! Woof! Pant, pant!" The guy barked before he reached out his hands to hold her other heel and started to lick the tip.

Seeing that, her face instantly turned and she lifted the foot on his back to smash it down on his back with enough force to create a shockwave that ended up cracking the ground underneath him.

She dug her heel into his back and I'm pretty sure she broke something of his from that stomp.

"Did I allow you to touch me, worm? Since when did I say you can touch me?"

The guy actually let out another moan, "Ahhhnnn~ I'm sorry mommyyyyy~ I won't do it again~"

Oh wow… This guy is really domesticated…

But I guess one good thing was that this indirectly answered one of my questions… This girl is definitely involved in this…

She then lifted her foot again and kicked him in the side, this time sending the guy flying away and smashing him into the tree, snapping it and the next two trees behind it into half.

The girl looked down at her foot in disgust, "Ugh… Now I need new boots… This is so annoying…"

I watched her silently until she realised I was looking at her to shift her attention back towards me.

"Well? He's awake now isn't he? You can go ahead and ask your questions."

I pointed at the place where he had crashed, "Are you sure he's still in any shape to answer any questions after you did that?"

She tilted her head, "Hmm? Why wouldn't he?"

She then raised her palm to point in his direction and a portal appeared that seemed to suck him in before the exit portal materialised in front of her to drop a rather broken but still alive guy at her feet.

I looked at the guy who, despite being thrown like that, had a look of bliss plastered on his face right now.

This guy is so far gone…

I looked back at the girl, "He will answer my question truthfully?"

"Hmm… Pet? Answer the interesting mortal's questions truthfully, understand?" She told the guy.

"Nnnghhh~ Yesshhh Mommyyyy~" He moaned, still seemingly quite out of it.

I guess that was the best that I was going to get so that will have to do…

First question then…

"Did you choose to accept Srii's mission of killing Off-Worlders?"

"Mnnggh… No…"

Wait, he didn't? So this has nothing to do with the gods then? That means it has everything to do with this girl over here?

Second question then…

"How were you able to transfer your death to your companions?"

"En… Mnngghh… Enchantment… Slavery contract…"

Oh… I see… That explains then…

Those girls weren't his party members but actually his slaves…

Though for that Inugami choosing to kill herself… I wonder if she did it because it was part of her slavery contract to do so after he lost or it was her way to get out of being his slave?

Guess I probably wouldn't find out now.

Third question then.

"Why did you attack us?"

"Threat…"

Huh?

I had to use the fourth question for this.

"Threat to what?"

"Ha… Ha… Threat… To our group…"

I eyed the girl but she was just twirling her umbrella casually like what I was doing did not involve her at all.

In that case…

"What is the name of your real leader?"

He did not answer immediately and I thought that he wouldn't answer until he opened his mouth again.

"I do not know…"

Damn it!

The girl then clapped her hands together, "Alright! That's five questions~ He's mine now~"

The girl then twirled her umbrella before stabbing it into the ground.

There was a gurgling sound coming from the guy before his head swelled up and then it exploded, his blood and brain matter splattering all over the floor.

What the…

The girl giggled, "Maybe I'll see you again, interesting mortal~ Bye now~"

She then walked through a portal and disappeared.

What the heck is going on…
