A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 495

Chapter 495: Chapter 369: The Target is Bok……Master of Demonic Beast Lady! _1 Chapter 495: Chapter 369: The Target is Bok……Master of Demonic Beast Lady! _1 From a certain perspective, taming a Demonic Beast Lady and taming a Pokemon is pretty much the same.

Find it, battle it, and subdue it after defeating it.

See, it's simple and straightforward.

However, the methods of a Pokemon trainer seem to be more…pure.

For instance, after finding a Pokemon, they summon their own Pokemon, defeat the opposing Pokemon, and after they have defeated it, they successfully capture it by throwing a Master Ball.

But a Demonic Beast Lady Trainer is slightly more complex.

Finding and defeating a Demonic Beast Lady is indeed the first step. But then a Demon Beast Trainer must use a “Capture Rope” to physically bind the Demonic Beast Lady themselves. And if the Demonic Beast Lady is unwilling to submit, they might have to employ a method akin to capturing them seven times in a row…

Of course, binding them is only the first step. The second step is to look into the eyes of the Demonic Beast Lady, recite a spell, and if they are willing to become a Slave Servant, they will become a subordinate of the Demon Beast Trainer.

So simply put, a Demon Beast Trainer taming a Demonic Beast Lady involves sneaking around in the forest, rushing at a Demonic Beast Lady upon sighting one, defeating her, and then binding her with a rope to claim ownership…

…Why does the latter technique, though essentially the same process, feel so criminal?

Anyway, regardless, I still have to complete my task.

Of course, since the goal is to capture a Demonic Beast Lady, it's clear that weapons can't be used. After all, a dead Demonic Beast Lady is useless, right?

So, a Demon Beast Trainer does have their own weapon, which is…a whip.

“Is this it?”

Duanmu Huai asked curiously, looking at the small leather whip in his hand, and the maid by his side nodded.

“Yes, only when you can wield the whip with ease can you be considered a qualified Demon Beast Trainer.”

“Does this thing have any lethal power?”

Duanmu Huai shook his head, gazing at the tree in front of him. He took a deep breath, gripping the whip, then gave a powerful swing!

“-Crack!!!”

The whip sliced through the air, causing a sharp, piercing noise that landed heavily on the tree trunk. In the next moment, the tree, which was over a meter in diameter, was split in half, the upper half flying off, reduced to a pile of rotten wood.

“…………”
“…………”
Duanmu Huai glanced at the maid, who remained silent.

“Please exercise restraint, don't put so much force into it.”

“…Alright.”

So, after a series of basic operations like WSAD for movement, pressing F key to interact, and right-clicking the mouse to aim, Duanmu Huai departed from the mansion and headed into the forest to search for Pokemon…no, for Demonic Beast Ladies.

Just like how the protagonist of Pokemon begins with a partner, Duanmu Huai also has a partner, the maid. But the maid stated that Duanmu Huai's control over the contract with the Demonic Beast Ladies is not yet mature, suggesting that she will sign the contract and become his familiar after he has mastered it…

Well, I suppose the maid is just afraid of having her head blown off, you can't really blame her.

After all, it's a biological instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm…plus, Duanmu Huai does have a precedent of exploding the brain of a Demon King…well, to be honest, he's a bit worried too.

“Who should I catch…”

As he wandered through the forest, Duanmu Huai murmured to himself as he flipped through the Atlas in front of him. According to the maid, this island is divided into several areas, each covered by a barrier. Only by obtaining at least two familiars, will one barrier be lifted, opening up a new area. After completing the mission and becoming an independent Demon Beast Trainer, one can leave the island.

As far as Duanmu Huai is concerned, defeating a Demonic Beast Lady and subduing her should not be a problem, although in theory, a Demon Beast Trainer actually has little offensive power, which is why they need to control Demonic Beast Ladies to fight – well, just like a trainer can't do much against Pokemon.

But for Duanmu Huai, these Demonic Beast Ladies pose no challenge given his strength. So for him, strength and intensity are not his concern. Fortunately, according to the Atlas, many Demonic Beast Ladies also have special abilities – for example, maid species naturally enjoy cleaning and tidying, which is why the mansion was kept so clean.

While this skill may not help in battle, it is very useful in daily life, and Duanmu Huai plans to follow this line of thought. After all…even if he had to fight, he might as well try to tame the Demon King. Honestly, he looks down a bit on the combat power of ordinary Demonic Beast Ladies…the ones in his Soul Cards are much stronger.

So, he'll just look for a Demonic Beast Lady with some special or life skills.

“Crunch, crunch, crunch.”

While Duanmu Huai was wandering around in the forest, he suddenly heard a noise from under a tree not too far away. He looked up and saw a girl squatting there, eating a carrot happily.

…How can I put this, a suddenly appearing girl in a deserted forest chewing a carrot, in any other world this would be the beginning of a ghost story.

Like, instead of a carrot, she's chewing on a human arm or something.

But here…well, it's not uncommon to see people in the forest.

Of course, “people” as understood by the Tribunal.

However, compared to the maid, this girl made Duanmu Huai immediately realize that she must be a Demonic Beast Lady.

The reason was simple, he just had to look at her appearance.

Of course, she looked human enough, with a pretty cute face and fluffy green short hair, at least she seemed human. Unfortunately, unlike the maid, she had long rabbit ears on her head and a fluffy rabbit tail behind her…

Moreover, this girl's attire was quite bold. Her upper body was adorned with a semi-transparent gauze-like nightgown, which clearly revealed the skin underneath the thin fabric. Her lower body was clothed in white suspender stockings, neatly complementing the fluffy rabbit tail behind her. Honestly, she was a perfect bunny girl character, especially in a bar situation.

“I think I saw something like this in the Atlas…”

Duanmu Huai glanced at the girl nibbling her carrot while discreetly pulling out the Atlas and flipping through it.

Let's see… Ah, found it. Tutu belongs to the low-ranking girl monster classification, not really dangerous…

“Ah!”

While Duanmu Huai was perusing the Atlas, a sudden scream made him lift his head. Tutu was staring at him, but unlike a real bunny reacting to strangers, she didn't scamper away. Instead, she favored Duanmu Huai with a friendly smile and waved at him.

“Hello there-!”

“Hello.”

Duanmu Huai nodded his head and returned the greeting. Tutu, curiously eyeing him up, hopped over and stood in front of him.

“Who are you? Tell me, do tell me.”

“I am Duanmu Huai, a Demon Beast Trainer.”

“Demon Beast Trainer?”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's explanation, Tutu appeared intrigued as she glanced at the whip in his hand, her smile widening.

“Ah, do you want to play with Tutu? Perhaps we can play the S&M game, or maybe a combat game?”

“Huh??”

“Come on, let's play!”

With that, Tutu bounced toward him, landing a punch on Duanmu Huai.

Was that supposed to be an attack??

It felt like a children's boxing match, or even less actually. At least children would punch without restraint, quite savagely. However, Tutu's punch felt like a playful girlish punch, not hurting at all.

“Come on, let's go.”

While Duanmu Huai stood puzzled, the Tutu who had punched him took a few steps back and started hopping around and yelling at him.

What's this supposed to mean? She punched me, so am I expected to punch her back?

Is this some kind of turn-based game??

Tutu is so adorable. She will cry for a long time if I punch her back, won't she?

Duanmu Huai slowly took out his whip, thinking to be careful not to hit too hard… And then…

His whip lashed out.

The black whip left a wraithlike impression in the air before making the ground at Tutu's feet explode. With a scream, Tutu collapsed to the ground and passed out.

“…She's so weak!”

Upon witnessing this, Duanmu Huai was speechless. He hadn't even hit her, but she collapsed just like that?

She's so weak… No wonder she's the lowest-level girl monster.

Anyway, the deed is done, time to reel her in.

With that, Duanmu Huai silently walked over to the unconscious Tutu, took out the Binding Rope, and turned the pages of the Atlas.

“Let's see how to do this… Damn, why is it so complicated? Why can't I just bind her hands and feet and call it a day? What in the world is Dragonfly Binding? And what the hell is Tortoise Shell Binding? Man, even tying such a knot is so tiring….”

Whilst referring to the Atlas and mumbling under his breath, Duanmu Huai finally managed to get Tutu nicely bound up after considerable effort.

“Phew… this is exhausting.”

Duanmu Huai stood up and looked at Tutu, who was tied up like a crab. He wiped the sweat off his brow, wondering why the binding was even more tiresome than the battle.

What's next…let's see what the tutorial says?

Take the bound girl monster home and perform the Contract Ritual… Ok, got it.

Duanmu Huai silently lifted the bound Tutu.

Anyway, it's still a gain. I'll take her home and see how it goes.
