About Salvarision
"Salvarision Castle City"
The city that grew up next to Castle Salvarision, which is located on the shore of the lake north of the capital of Lescatie, is called "Castle City Salvarision". "Castle Salvarision is the headquarters of the Order of the Ice Flower, led by the strongest hero of Lescatie, Wilmarina Noscrim, it is the largest military base in Lescatie. In addition to Wilmarina, who is the symbol of Lescatie, those who are fit to serve beside her are gathered there: selected to an extremely high standard by the best of Lescatie's military forces, from soldiers to knights to heroes. Beside them, many of the blacksmiths and merchants from all over Lescatie, engaged in weapons and armor, fill the city. The mostly educated inhabitants who lived there said that the city's appearance was rich and beautiful, and that the security of the city was very good. Salvarision is a city that was created for the Order of the Holy Ice Flower, or, to put it another way, for Wilmarina. This unconventional facility, given to a single hero, shows how much influence Wilmarina had as a hero and how much the proud Noscrim family in Lescatie flourished.
Meanwhile, the city, which gathered the children of the powerful belonging to the Noscrim faction, was also the site of a power struggle waged between authoritative priests and aristocrats. Life in the castle has always been controlled by those in power, which seems to have made some people feel stuffy in the castle, while others stayed only because of their own appreciation of the rulers or the state. Salvarision's own appearance gave the same cold impression, it seemed as if the castle, surrounded by water, was isolated.
In addition, the upper level of the castle was reserved exclusively for Wilmarina, and only those deemed suitable for her and chosen by priest Noscrim were allowed to visit it. It is not difficult to guess that the sturdy castle played the role of a restraint for those close to Wilmarina and was also a prison for her.
"The Monster City of Salvarision"
Salvarision, which fell at the hands of Wilmarina, who became a monster, became a mamono realm along with the fallen Lescatie. Those who used the city as a place to fight for power disappeared, and the Dark Braves and Dark Knights turned it into a magical city where they brought their husbands and loved ones. Wilmarina and her husband have spent a lot of time changing the style of the city where they like to spend their sweet time, and making it different from the red-shaded capital. It's a place where you can safely meet mamono who have already found their husbands, and after the daytime hours, when the monsters go to bed, you can hear how passionately the city's married couples are making out with each other. Although the town is still a stronghold for the Knights' order, some of the training grounds have been transformed into resting places for Mamono to meet and mingle with their husbands, and the trained Knights simply talk to their loved ones. There is also a growing number of stores in town for the enjoyment of couples. Stores that used to sell armor are now visited as if they were clothing stores, since for the mamono knights the armor they wear is more for seducing people than for fighting. You can even see the Dark Knight together with her husband picking out her favorite armor for him.
The red moon rises over the lake surrounding Castle Salvarision, and its light merges with the powerful magical energy of Wilmarina flowing from the castle, resembling little ice crystals shining with red lights in the air. Mysterious and beautiful magical lights move beside the monsters, illuminating the surroundings of the lake and maintaining a faint sense of lust - the perfect mood for couples to have a date. Castle Salvarision, which was once a prison, has now become a love nest for Wilmarina and her husband, while the upper level of the castle has remained unchanged as the bedroom exclusively for Wilmarina and her darling. The castle seems to have an enchanted room with a portal connected to the royal castle in Lescatie, so that Wilmarina and her lover can travel freely between Salvarision and the capital.
Introduction
Welcome back, this is the headquarters of the Order of the Dark Knights, the Salvarision Castle.
Are you surprised by my sudden appearance? "Why am I here?"
Hehe, the memories of those girls that "you" saw here are connected to this "magical crystal of memories."
The fact that "you" came here is by no means accidental, just like the fact that you were able to touch the hearts of those girls.
How did you feel when you touched their hearts?
What were you thinking as you touched their hearts?
Those qualities that "you" possess... many of the Dark Knights are interested in. ♪
Heh heh, everyone seems to be waiting for "you" there... "your" night in Lescatie will be a very long one. ♥
~ Governor of Salvarision Wilmarina ~
Originally written to my dear teacher.
Dear Lord Wandering Scholar of Monsters. It has been many months and days since I last saw you. I hear rumors of your journey, how is it going?
I still have a hard time keeping my brush straight when it comes to it. Even now I am studying my teacher as I continue my journey. It seems that if I close my eyes, I am transported to those past love days when I met my teacher. How many days have passed since I, following in my teacher's footsteps, visited this Mamono nation of Lescatie?
I am there now. Unfortunately, I was too late and the teacher, who had remained for some time in Lescatie, had already left. Because of the lack of a trail, I was forced to stay in Salvarision, the castle of the Dark Knights.
Master was in Lescatie, but why didn't he stay here?
Staying in Lescatie, you could describe a lot of things.
I used to find the action very dangerous, but after spending some time with the Dark Knights, I saw the same thing they did. I couldn't help but feel that the prejudice about the "terrible dark mamono realm" I had against Lescatie was somewhat wrong, "preconceived," and I am ashamed of it. I wrote this because much of what I experienced in that place was not possible in any other.
As a student of a magical scholar, as a follower of the teacher, I cannot deny that my personal opinion will probably go into the written material, which I will note in this post. However, I hope that this post will be one of those that will help get rid of the "prejudice" between monsters and humans!
~ Letter from a student of a Wandering Scholar of Monsters ~
Lescatie Chivalric Order of the Holy Ice Flower
The highest power in Lescatie was in the hands of the "senate," a closed body composed of high-ranking priests and aristocrats, each of whom had their own "band of knights" to demonstrate their own power and might. The "Lescatie Holy Ice Flower Knight Order" was created by "Priest Noscrim," who was said to have the greatest power among the members of the "senate". The name "Ice Flower" comes from the fact that House Noscrim originally originated from an icy country, and
that Lady Wilmarina has ability to manipulate ice. At this time, Lescatie was home to many heroes, a blessing from God, who were a military force in their own right. This became a symbol of the greatness of the state. A girl from House Noscrim, who bore the name of Wilmarina and was raised in a special way by Priest Noscrim, was declared the strongest hero of Lescatie, an outstanding "hero" and "knight". In addition, the Ice Flower Kinight Order became a power struggle for many people trying to get close to Priest Noscrim, and aristocrats who wanted to join the order along with all their sons and daughters.
Along with the country's army, the order nominally swore allegiance to Lescatie and did everything for its well-being, but in fact the main troops for the most part carried out missions for the Church of the Chief God and the anti-monster nations associated with it. Of course the assignments were mostly punitive and deterrent against the monsters, but also a lot of resources were thrown into wars between human nations, more than into conquering a few monster farms. There was also the Heroine Wilmarina, who was the enemy of the monsters. Only upon learning of her approach would the monsters disappear before they needed to be subdued, and enemies of the state who wished to start a war would raise the white flag without a fight. No matter how much anyone tried to pay, the greatness and prestige of Wilmarina, who led the Order of the Ice Flower and drew people to it, could not be denigrated. In turn, that prestige belonged entirely to the Church of the Chief God, and it was a tremendous resource, surpassing even the forces of the country of Lescatie. Despite the nominal affiliation of this military force with the Kingdom of Lescatie, all the wealth obtained by the order went to those associated with the Noscrim family rather than to the people of Lescatie, which helped them extend their power beyond the country as well. It could be said that it was not the entire country of Lescatie that prospered, but its individual inhabitants.
Eventually Lescatie fell into the hands of the monsters, thanks to Druella. As Priest Noscrim disappeared, the Holy Ice Flower Knight Order became owned by Wilmarina and became the "Lescatie Dark Ice Flower Knight Order". With the exclusion of powerful people who used this order as a place for power struggles, connections with the Church and other countries that created reasons to fight, the need to be tough on their surroundings and their choice of chosen ones ended as well. The knights could stop fighting altogether, even the strict discipline seems to have all but disappeared. Mistress Wilmarina, having become a mamono, showed little interest in her order; heroes and knights were free to spend their time finding their mate and spending time with her. They were also free to use the facilities and living quarters of the order as they pleased. Although I wrote all this myself, nevertheless, because of the morality and virtue of Wilmarina, left over from the days when she was a hero of men, the heroes and knights who swear allegiance to her are firmly in control of the land and she seems to continue to put her neck under the rope as the commander of the Dark Ice Flower Knight Order.
Now the Knights of the Ice Flower make expeditions out of the country only in response to Druella's occasional requests. This military organization has become part of the Mamono Lord's Army and can boast a power it has never possessed before. With no mercy for the forces of their enemies, with a smile that sparkles like ice, they will turn them into a mamono realm. At the same time, however, I noticed that the look with which the Knights of the Dark Flowers of Ice go into battle is quite different from the one they display to their husband in bed. While in front of their husband, they redden their cheeks, which makes their face look very pretty, and those who notice this change jokingly call it the "thaw of the ice knights."

Mamono Realm Horses
Mamono Realm Horse/Lescatian Horse
When Lescatie fell thanks to the efforts of monsters, becoming a mamono realm, the horses that were raised for the knights were affected by mamono mana and turned into mamono realm beasts with great mana - Lescatian Horses. In Lescatie they are called exclusively "Mamono Realm Horses" and are bred mainly by the Dark Knights. Compared to ordinary horses, mamono realm horses are characterized by their very frightening and mysterious appearance, their appearance can frighten you: they have dark black bodies like the night itself, on which while running red magical patterns flare up. Mamono realm horses appear similar to ordinary horses at first glance, but they live at the expense of their immense magical power. They are a type of "magical creatures" and exist more as a mass of mana. In addition to the rider's skills, mamono realm horses are strongly influenced by their mana and, because their body is composed of it, they are capable of demonstrating power incomparable to that of a normal cavalry horse. If mamono realm horses are attacked by an opponent, thanks to the phenomenal feature they have, they will not take any damage, but will simply lose some of their mana and grow hungrier. An experienced rider will be able to speed up a mamono realm horse to literally wing speed, and no matter how long he rides it, it will be able to maintain its tireless physical strength.
Contrary to their fearsome appearance, mamono realm horses have a gentle and calm character. Being extremely loyal to their master, these animals will try to always follow him, even in the midst of enemies. On the other hand, mamono realm horses are known as very wary animals: until they get used to you, you will not see even a glimpse of their tenderness and calmness. There are quite a few wild mamono realm horses afflicted with mana mamono in Lescatie, but because of their wariness they rarely appear before humans and live in the dense forests where mana is especially dense and it is difficult for people to find them. Mamono realm horses are some of the hardest mamono realm beasts to tame, unlikely to allow anyone to ride on their back without earning their trust. Apparently, only after a rookie Dark Knight is able to ride a mamono realm horse bred in Lescatie will they be recognized as a full-fledged Dark Knight. Mamono realm horses, which are magical creatures, feed on mana accordingly. Like normal horses, they sometimes eat mamono realm grain, but they only consume the mamono mana found in the grain crops. The best treat for a mamono realm horse is nothing but pure and fresh mana. In other words, in order to breed mamono realm horses, Dark Knights need fresh mamono mana the most, which is created by the work of the monster pair. In order to gain a mamono realm horse's trust, a Dark Knight not only needs to spend a lot of time with their lover and occasionally share their mana with them, but also to have sex in a way, as if only to show it to their horse. Because of their nature, Lescatian horses rarely appear in public places, but they often approach couples who are making love. Horses appear unexpectedly in front of monsters, attracted by their dense and obscene mana, which remains on their bodies. There are also occasions when they approach to rub themselves against the bodies of monsters to show their friendliness. In fact, not only the Dark Knights, but some monster couples also breed demonic horses as symbols of love.
Mamono Realm Warhorse/Lescatian Warhorse
Mamono realm warhorses were bred specifically for use in battle, they have more mana than normal mamono realm horses. They are the most common type of mamono realm horses bred by the Knights of the Mamono Realm of Lescatie, and for the Dark Knights, you could say they are close friends and faithful companions on the battlefield. The mana these horses possessed increased dramatically when they became mamono realm warhorses. Even without the magic of their rider, these horses themselves possess the necessary mana on the battlefield and can even support the rider with their mana. Imitating the weapons and armor, as well as the skills of their riders, warhorses protect them by turning their own mana into a shield or armor, or, if ordered to ride into an assault, they will turn their mana into a huge spear that will pierce the enemy's defenses. On the battlefield, mamono realm warhorses will live up to their name and, even going out alone against a thousand, will undoubtedly win. To the warring countries and soldiers of the Order, these horses are a symbol of fear. In addition, these horses are hard to breed, and are only found in certain mamono realms, such as Lescatie and the Royal Mamono Realm, which are particularly rich in mamono mana. Plus, it takes even more mana to bait them than regular mamono realm horses. Also, the rider of a mamono realm warhorse is only obligated to get more sweetness from their partner in the future. Especially after activity on the battlefield, the Lescatian warhorse will actively "beg" for especially fresh mamono mana as a reward. Before the couple returns to Lescatie, it will spend a lot of time lurking by their side as the couple makes love.
Mamono Realm Winged Horse/Lescatian Dark Wind
This is an extremely rare endemic species that lives only within the Forest of Dark Spirits, which is located in Lescatie. Due to the fact that they received the extremely dense mana that fills the Forest of Dark Spirits, these horses possess particularly great magical power even among other mamono realm horses. In addition to being able to unfold the wings growing on their backs and fly freely in the sky, mamono realm winged horses are able to control a magical wind, painted black, similar to the wind elementals, "Sylphs," who were engulfed by mamono mana and became dark elementals.
And, like the original "dark sylph", this magical wind carries a large amount of mamono mana that blows away the self-control of humans and monsters. Riding a mamono realm winged horse across the battlefield, the Dark Knight might seem like the perfect symbol of victory. Flying across the sky on a tar-black, mighty winged horse, they direct a magical wind toward the earth that dispels hatred and disgust toward monsters and even destroys the very resistance to mating with mamono. Such a knight invites their opponents, along with their entire army, into the path of debauchery. In addition, sometimes this wind blows on the backs of the Dark Knights, also deflating their self-control, which puts them in a state of unbridled desire for sex, like the Dark Warriors. And at the command of the Dark Knight, which controls the magical wind, many of the Dark Knights rush to the men to have sex, literally approaching them with the speed of a gale wind. Of course, the presence of the mamono realm winged horse alone has a powerful effect on the battlefield. And of course many find themselves fascinated by the amoral and mysterious appearance that knights have, immersed in the darkness created by the mamono realm winged horse.
However, it is not easy to become a rider of this animal. Winged horses prefer an even purer mamono mana than mamono realm warhorses, and their bodies are always enveloped in it. In addition, mamono realm winged horses have a special property that makes it impossible to touch them unless you are covered by lust or virginity. Contrary to their elegant appearance, many of the winged horses are "rampaging horses" and only an experienced Dark Knight, that often has sex with their spouse, will be worthy to ride on his back.
Giant Mamono Realm Horse/Lescatian Gigant
It can be said that of all the mamono realm horses, the mamono realm giant horses are the most familiar in civilian life. Mamono realm giant horses evolved after consuming large quantities of high quality mamono realm plants that were used as bait by monster couples. Mamono realm giant horses have huge bodies, nearly twice the size of the average mamono realm horse. Because of the size of the animals of this species, people who see mamono realm giant for the first time are often surprised by their strength. However, contrary to their appearance, mamono realm giant horses lack the pride inherent in mamono realm horses. Compared to ordinary Lescatian horses, they are friendlier to humans and tend to let them ride on their backs calmly. This is because mamono realm giant horses are raised by eating the grain plants of the mamono realms, which can also be called "crystallized love," nurtured by a monster couple. It is said that the love invested in these plants simply takes away the wariness and pride of these mamono realm horses.
In any case, mamono realm giant horses love to let mamono and married couples ride them, they have enough stamina to keep going all day and night without sleep, with only a slight recharge of their rider's mana. For this reason, in the mamono realm of Lescatie, they are not used for fighting, but as pack animals. Mamono realm giant horses are bred primarily to carry people and luggage on their backs. Also mamono realm giant horses, which can travel long distances with lots of luggage, play an important role in trade with other countries.

Diplomacy With Other Nations
Lescatie, which boasts one of the largest sizes among the monster nations, under the leadership of the diplomat Castor and his wife, a Youko, is engaged in active diplomacy not only with other Mamono nations, but also with other existing human nations. While the old Lescatie was a large country, its industry was underdeveloped and diplomacy relied primarily on the power of Heroes. Lescatie provided other countries with "military power," sending Heroes and Knights to prevent monster invasions under Lescatie's auspices; maintain security by performing punitive operations against bandits; and occasionally provide its forces in wars between human countries. In return, Lescatie received products or money as "offerings to God," which maintained the country's financial strength. The nations protected by Lescatie were able to maintain a certain level of security. But weak countries and remote villages that suffered from famine without rich harvests and could not afford to pay Lescatie were unable to obtain such protection. Moreover, even after they found themselves placed under the protection of Lescatie, the Lescatian upper classes, allied with the aristocrats of their neighbors, simply robbed the common people to nothing, and some of the knights who were supposed to protect the people but had evil intentions in their hearts, often made them suffer.
At present, however, such payments to the government in exchange for military aid are not made. On the other hand, Lescatie still provides other countries with "military forces on credit," such as by sending Dark Knights to them in response to their request for assistance. In return, Lescatie asks for alliances between countries and help in the development of its lagging industries, such as transferring technology or sending engineers from other countries to Lescatie to exchange experiences. In addition, Lescatie has friendly diplomatic relations with many countries that have become mamono realms because of her expeditionary missions. Her diplomats have been particularly active in working with such countries during the unstable transition period, helping them manage to become a stable monster nation sooner. From other countries that have become abundant mamono realms, many different local products are now imported into Lescatie, such as Mamono Realm Jam and others. Often, in response to the dense magical atmosphere of Lescatie, such products themselves undergo changes and new goods are brought into the world and re-imported into other countries.
In Lescatie's diplomacy, a rare mamono realm ore called Druelite, which is mined only here, plays an important role. This red glowing ore has not only a beautiful appearance, but also the ability to amplify stored magical energy. It is used as the main source of energy that solves various problems. Regardless of what mana has been accumulated in it, human or even divine, the output will be enhanced mamono mana, which will have a completely black color. An land where there is a lot of this ore is bound to turn into a mamono realm. As I have been told, Druelite and the goods produced from it are delivered to the poor and barren human lands in various ways. In addition to the neighboring human and monster lands, Lescatie has now expanded the scope of her diplomacy to these small countries, to which she previously paid no attention when she was a pro-Order religious state. Also, in recent years, in order to attract the "human men," who are the most important factor for the Mamono country, an alliance with Dragonia, one of the largest tourist countries, has been initiated by Lady Wilmarina in order to turn some of Lescatie's cities into tourist areas.
Diplomat Castor
[Diplomat Castor Bistoa Lescatie]
The representative diplomat of Lescatie, "Castor Bistoa Lescatie," as his surname implies, belongs to the royal family of that state. More precisely, it was he who was the last king of Lescatie before the country became a mamono realm. The state of Lescatie was dominated by the power of the Church, namely the high-ranking representatives of the Order sent here from the theocratic country, where its headquarters were located-and the Senate, composed of local priests and the most noble aristocrats. The king had little real power and Castor was like a puppet on the throne. He now has the appearance of a thin, almost slightly haggard man and looks slightly older than his real age. As he once was, this headstrong king is enthusiastic, loves his country and its people, and seems to be instrumental in making Lescatie even better. However, having been too trusting and sincere in the past, when his position was no more than that of a puppet, there is no way he could resist the intentions of the headquarters of the Order or the corrupt local priests and aristocrats. Castor lost his enthusiasm and confidence, and in the end he was branded by all society as an incompetent, senile king. After Lescatie fell and became a mamono realm, he retired as king and passed the throne to his daughter, "Francisca Mistel Lescatie." After this, Castor, who had lost his energy for a time, noticing how his country had changed internally and externally, returned with renewed vigor to the politics of Lescatie with his wife, who accompanied him everywhere. Castor, who had always wished to "spread the virtues of Lescatie in a non-military way," was asked to work as a diplomat. Mr. Castor, beginning his career as a diplomat, accomplished much through his enthusiasm and through his fame.
In the past, Lescatie had served as a "hired guard" and it was commonplace for a neighboring country to pay her an indicated amount every day. It was Castor, in order to restore the trust in Lescatie that his kingdom had lost, who came up with the idea of demonic mediation, by which agreements are made absolute: no matter who makes the contract, human or monster, the contract cannot be broken. And it seems that it was he, in cooperation with the demons from outside Lescatie, who created the Demon Feather Pens, agreeing with their interest in "getting people who broke the contract for their use." After that, Lescatie became known as "the country that never breaks treaties," and today it has diplomatic relations with many countries.
It was also Castor who discovered the vein of Druelite, which is the most sought after of the products exported by Lescatie. The Druelite mine, now home to the largest vein in Lescatie, turned out to be a cave, something he discovered by chance when he escaped the castle as a boy to explore the world outside. The stone surface of the cave was covered with beautiful crystals that shimmered and flickered. They were what is known as "Gyoza ore," which absorbs small amounts of mana from the air and emits a beautiful blue glow. But since the maximum amount of magic these deposits can absorb is small, once a person or monster touches them, the crystals will shatter and only waste rock will remain. In other words, this ore was considered useless because it was not uncommon for crystals to crumble as soon as you pulled them out of the cave. Castor, who had become a diplomat, went to investigate whether he could use the caves he had seen as a child as a tourist spot. In that cave there was still that ore that filled the entire walls, but now it glowed red. "Gyoza ore was transformed by Druella's mana when Lescatie became a mamono realm. The mamono mana absorbed strengthened this mineral and removed its limitations, transforming it into Druelite, which you can safely carry in your hands. Because of the high demand for Druelite, Lescatie now trades with many monster nations. Royal Makai, home of the Mamono Lord's Castle, is one of her big customers.
With the advent of Castor, Lescatie is far more likely to establish mutually beneficial relationships with its neighbors, and fewer and fewer neighboring countries are being forced by the Dark Knights to convert to mamono realms because of their aggression. Even Miss Druella, in her assessment of the man, uttered: "If Lescatie were a country that was truly ruled by this man, I would have no reason to even attack it."
At present, the crown of Lescatie is worn by Francisca, but the de facto ruler of the country is Druella. However, if you ask the people of the country "Who is the true ruler of Lescatie?" they will, playfully, list you several other names. In addition to the two mentioned above, these would be the Seven Princesses of Lescatie, including the strongest Dark Hero, Wilmarina, the name of the man who became their common husband would also be mentioned, and Castor's name might be on that list as well. Intelligent but sincere and honest, Lord Castor has a good reputation among the Mamono. Particularly among some races, notably the Gyoubu Danuki, who manipulate money, and the Ratatoskrs, who manipulate information, they are devoted to him even more than they are to Lady Druella. Some of these monsters also work as diplomats to support Castor's work. In addition, for the reasons mentioned above, he is also respected by the Demons living in Lescatie and beyond.
["Listening Fox" Francia Reinel Lescatie]
Castor's wife, former queen of Lescatie. She bore the king four daughters, including the current queen Francisca. Francia is a beautiful Youko with the same thick purple hair as her daughter Francisca and a slightly sleepy look. I heard in the past that she was a woman who had exhausted herself and had a rather emaciated appearance, but when she transformed from a human woman into a Youko, the tiredness she felt turned to a bright sexual energy. Francia was the daughter of House Reinel, which had influence at the headquarters of the Order, and she was bound to Castor by a political marriage that was beneficial to the country where the Order had its headquarters. But she did fall in love with the king of Lescatie. Her husband continued his lonely struggle against the corruption that reigned in Lescatie, and she regretted that there was nothing she could do to help him in that struggle. She could only care for him as she watched Castor exhaust himself. Apparently, seeing this, he reciprocated her feelings.
When Lescatie fell and became a mamono realm, perhaps precisely because Francia saw her beloved literally burning from his duties and did not want him to exhaust himself further, she turned into a Youko, a race of beautiful courtesans from the lands of Zipangu, to drown her husband in the delights of her body. Becoming a mamono, she flooded her hubby with her lust, wishing that he would work less and spend more time resting in comfort. But seeing that her husband's heart was still ablaze with his love and enthusiasm for Lescatie, she balanced her desires and made them a reward for his hard work. Eventually she decided to support his new life as a diplomat and now encourages Castor in her bed. Francia always follows her lover and assists him in his diplomatic affairs, calling herself not "Former Queen" or "Diplomat's Wife," but simply "Listening." In other words, her own concern is to personally drag Castor into the bedroom, since her husband is a very a passionate person and doesn't notice at all when he takes on too much work. Therefore, she makes sure that he rests and does not overwork himself and just does nothing, drowning in pleasure and lust. Francia seems convinced that rest is a time that belongs only to her, and this belief is based on her love for her husband. In some ways, Francia is like a fairy, a race that treats her husband as her plaything. Through the magic of preservation, she still keeps as a treasure the dried flowers Castor first gave her. She has a wonderful relationship with her husband and has recently grown a fifth tail, moreover, they are expecting their fifth child... Ah, how I envy them!
Although Francia regrets that she could not give Francisca a healthy body and that she was born a sickly child, she is thrilled that her daughter became a Roper and is now perfectly healthy. Francia also wants her daughter to stop wrapping her tentacles around her erogenous zones and to let her determine exactly how actively she was having intercourse with her husband.

...Thus, when I hold the pen in my hands, I am overwhelmed by our shared memories. But I must leave this place tomorrow, for I cannot help but leave to try to see you, my teacher. Nevertheless, I must admit that it is difficult for me to say goodbye. Indeed, a good time always passes in an instant. Initially I was full of anxiety and confusion about whether life at Castle Salvarision and the experience of joining the Order of the Knights of the Dark Ice Flower would be right for me...
...But in fact, as it turns out, life here is quite ordinary and many around here are just doing a good job! Also, these gifts attached in the letter helped me select all the Dark Knights together, including Wilmarina. Master, I hope you enjoy some of this...
Master, while I was spending time in Lescatie, I just didn't know what to think at one point.
Both the kingdom of Lescatie, which was controlled by the Church, and the mamono realm of Lescatie, which is ruled by the love and pleasure of lecherous monsters. Which way is the right way... Was the land of Lescatie really destroyed by monsters? Now I can't help but think that Lescatie was saved by mamono. What is the "return" of Lescatie that the Order speaks of, what exactly do they wish to bring back to this country? Master, you once saw this Lescatie in person, what do you think of it?
And why do I get the feeling that cuddling with the Wandering Scholar is a bad idea?
But right now, I just wish I could see my Master. To hear your voice, to feel your hands, so that they appreciate this wrong body...
...I want you to teach me everything♡
~ A letter from a student of the Wandering Scholar of Monsters ~
...Оh? It's rare for you to see me off♡
Did you like this girl?
Whew, I know how you feel. This child was quite good as an apprentice♡
But she wouldn't be any good here as a dark strategist...
...No, nor is there any reason to believe that she would fit the role of court lady♡
Yes, for us monsters, the greatest happiness is always to be with our lovers, so this child would inevitably have left here. Moreover, for us monsters, Goodbye is only a temporary separation♡
Well, of course we will see her again. This child is your ward, Lescatie's greatest Dark Strategist♡
Let us see and enjoy how many wondrous mamono realms will emerge from the labors that this child will write in the future♡
Although, if she meets her teacher again, whom she is in love with...
...They will probably visit us for a while soon♡
~ Lord of Lescatie Druella ~
