55: Rabbit Queen

People think that only Chinese NovelPhoenixs have stupid, arrogant young masters, but if you look closely, you'll find that even Japanese stories have their own arrogant young masters. The only thing that makes them less unbearable is the fact that there are no Jade Beauties around.

"What?! How many are there?!" The voice of the man inside immediately became panicked, followed by the sounds of tumbling and frantic rummaging from within.

"Only one carriage! It's approaching us very quickly!" The leader reported the situation while motioning with his hand for the carriage driver to move off the road and get ready for a fight.

"Only one?! Bastard! How could you be scared of only one carriage?! You are the royal guards! Damn it!" As soon as he heard that there was only one carriage, the man's panicked voice immediately turned furious. With a loud slam, he kicked the door open and jumped out of the carriage.

"Your Highness!"

Pa!

"Shut up! I want to see who dares to assault this prince!" The prince slapped the royal guard leader across the face before turning his gaze toward Natsuo's Toyota, which was approaching them at only 60 km/h. To them, however, it was an astonishingly fast speed.

Although Japan's army had butchered the Empire's army and decimated its forces, the vast majority of people in the capital, including the nobles and even the Imperial Family, had yet to see what a car was. In fact, they didn't even know what kind of weapons the Japanese had used to defeat them. Most of them simply assumed that Japan had used some kind of powerful magic.

The prince, Zorzal El Caesar, furthermore, rarely stayed in the capital. He preferred to travel around, partying and indulging in all kinds of pleasures. This time, however, after learning about the Empire's defeat, he was rushing back to the capital.

"I want that carriage! Kill them all and don't damage it!" Zorzal ordered. He didn't know how such a carriage could move on its own, but he liked its metallic black appearance and the speed at which it was moving. He had never seen anything like it before.

...

"It's that idiotic prince, Zorzal!" When the blond man stepped out of the carriage, Kana immediately recognized him and spoke with a look of disgust.

Any normal woman would dislike this man, even if they were willing to overlook his stupidity and moronic behavior, purely because he was a rapist.

"Zorzal El Caesar..." Natsuo slowed down while looking at the prince. This prince was a true arrogant young master. He was dumb and stupid, and the hilarious thing was that he actually thought he was smart, pretending to be incompetent because he was afraid that if he showed his true talent, his father, the Emperor, would kill him just as he had killed his stepbrother, who had threatened his throne.

But that in itself was a stupid and moronic assumption, because the stepbrother who was killed by the Emperor was actually the previous Emperor's son. The Senate had been the ones who pushed the Emperor to adopt him as his son until he came of age and could take the throne. So, just like any Emperor would do, he had him killed.

That was a textbook ending. It was the most basic thing a tyrant would do.

Zorzal and his other siblings were the current Emperor's blood children, so it was a completely different matter.

He was a stupid guy pretending to be a stupid guy. Or maybe he had been a normal guy, but he had pretended to be stupid for so long that he had eventually become permanently stupid.

"They seem to be ready for battle. We should just kill them all." Kana suddenly pulled an AK 47 from the side of the car, adjusted the magazine, and unlocked the safety before saying it with a grin.

"Gun fanatic." Natsuo couldn't understand how this social media addict had become a gun addict too. She was becoming more and more American. Poor grades, always on social media, loved guns, and liked to solve everything with violence. The only thing that seemed to make her different from Americans was that she could actually read maps.

"Human scum like him are better off dead." Even Ai actually spoke up this time.

"Alright, we will kill them."

Just like that, the fate of a prince and his more than forty guards was sealed. Honestly, Natsuo felt that a stupid prince like Zorzal would be much easier to manipulate. He could help him get onto the throne and then use him like a puppet to finish the quest. But since his teammates didn't like him at all, he could only give up on that idea.

'There are two others I can choose from.' It wasn't much of an inconvenience anyway. Maybe he could reach out to Piña Co Lada. She herself wasn't exactly very bright in the brain department.

Walking out of the car, Natsuo didn't want to waste his time talking to dead bodies. He pulled out two AK-47s and immediately pulled the triggers.

"Oh my~! What is that?" Rory saw both Natsuo and Kana holding weapons she didn't recognize, but in the next instant, she understood exactly what their function was.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The guards were in a tight formation, with the first row of five holding large metallic shields. Behind them were swordsmen, followed by the cavalry. Unfortunately for them, the bullets easily pierced through the metallic shields and turned the first row into sieves.

"What is that sound?!"

"Thunder?!"

"Magic! What is that magic?!"

"Stop! I surrender!"

"Yamete kudasai, onii chan!"

"My legs!"

"My dick!"

"My balls!"

"My anus!"

"Your Highness, please run!"

In a matter of seconds, the royal guard's formation crumbled. Some of them became scared shitless and started running away, while the cavalry's horses were terrified by the sound of the assault rifles and began running wildly, rendering the cavalry completely useless.

"Where are you running?! Bastards! Protect me! Damn it! Don't leave me alone!"

In just a few moments, the forty guards were either killed or running away. The originally arrogant prince became scared shitless. He started running after his guards, reaching out with his arms while roaring and shouting in panic.

"Want to see who will kill more?" Natsuo spoke to Kana.

"Sure!" Kana nodded with a grin, which was creepy in a situation like this.

"Sounds fun, I'll join as well!" However, Rory spoiled Kana's fun right away.

She took her halberd from Natsuo, slammed it onto the ground, and spun around it, propelling herself into the air. She spun through the air and, using the momentum, slammed her halberd straight into a fleeing guard, splitting his body in two. She then stomped the ground and chased after another man while laughing delightfully.

"Damn psycho!" Kana cursed the sadistic demigoddess before starting to chase after another fleeing guard.

"Both of you are psychos." Natsuo shook his head and slowly walked over to the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage itself had suffered little damage, except for some damage to the front caused by the scared horse that had been pulling it before it ran away.

It was made of what looked like expensive wood, with golden decorations that seemed to be made of pure gold, along with precious jewels nailed into the carriage. Its windows were covered with curtains.

Something like this, if brought to his world, could probably be sold for a fortune.

The surviving guards split in different directions, desperately trying to run away. Both Kana and Rory covered one direction, while Natsuo observed the surroundings before casting the same spell multiple times.

Numerous fireballs shot in every direction and slammed into the backs of the fleeing guards. Their bodies were engulfed in flames as they rolled across the ground before dying.

"W who are you?" After finishing off the guards, Natsuo opened the carriage door. Inside, he saw a woman lying on the floor, half naked and wearing only ragged clothes with a metallic collar around her neck. She clutched her chest and stared at him vigilantly, recoiling in fear.

"You are Tyuule, the Queen of the Warrior Bunnies?" Natsuo sized her up before asking.

"How did you know who I am?!" Tyuule stood up and walked out of the carriage before asking. She seemed both fearful and curious at the same time.

"Zorzal is dead. Here, it's cold outside." Natsuo handed her his jacket before saying, "Wait here for a moment."

This woman was quite vengeful, but then again, many people who experienced the same things would become like her. She had been the person manipulating Zorzal into opposing peace and starting a war with Japan.

It wasn't suitable for him as a man to help her, but he was also worried that she might do something extreme and attack Ai. So he had to wait for Rory or Kana to come back.

"Who won?"

The first to return was Rory. She rushed to Natsuo's side and asked.

"Me, of course," Natsuo replied with a grin.

"You?! How?!"

"Look over there. All those scorched bodies are my doing. And look here, these bodies are mine too. So obviously, I killed the most." Natsuo pointed at the bodies he had killed with magic and firearms.

"Mags sure are annoying!" Rory pouted before her attention turned to the rabbit eared woman. "Hmm? A slave?"

"I am back! Who won? Did I win?!" Just then, Kana also ran back, but her eyes suddenly fixed on Tyuule, who was holding Natsuo's jacket, and she asked, "Who is this?"

"Her name is Tyuule," Natsuo replied before telling her, "Help her change into something else."

Although Tyuule had become a xenophobe who hated humans with a burning passion and wanted nothing more than to see them kill each other, she had originally been a kind and honorable queen. But after years of torture and suffering, she had become like that.

Hopefully, at this point in time, she hadn't crossed that threshold. Otherwise, Natsuo would have no choice but to kill her.

"Tyuule? That bunny queen? Come with me." Kana held her AK-47 in one hand and grabbed Tyuule with the other, pulling her toward the car.

Throughout the whole process, Tyuule only watched them talk. She didn't say anything or struggle.

'Apostle of Emroy, Rory the Reaper, and two powerful mages... They wiped out the royal guards and killed a prince as if they were playing a hunting game.'

When the two of them walked behind the car, Kana let go of Tyuule's hand and suddenly asked, "That jacket is Natsuo's, right? Can you give it to me? It's a man's jacket; it won't fit you. I'll give you something else."

"No, thanks." Tyuule held the jacket tighter in her arms and shook her head.

"...As you wish." Kana narrowed her gaze before nodding.

...

While waiting, Natsuo searched the carriage and found that, in addition to some useless things like alcohol and suspicious potions that looked like aphrodisiacs, there was also a large red pouch full of gold coins. He immediately threw everything else away and kept the gold, then stored the carriage in his inventory.

About ten minutes later, Kana, Tyuule, and Ai came out of the car. Tyuule had changed into a normal set of clothes, wearing skinny jeans and a white shirt. She was also wearing Natsuo's jacket over the shirt.

"Thank you, Natsuo-sama." Tyuule thanked him properly this time, bowing her head lightly to express her gratitude.

"You look much better this way," Natsuo said with a smile. "Let's get going. If we move now, we should reach the nearest city before night falls."
