Let's Play Monmusu Quest: Paradox [part 2] - 38: Scenic Mountain

Beginning

<- Previous: Lady Village

We’re off to the Scenic Mountain on a quest to restore the magical power to a monster that is quite happy dissolving Luka – and even her own daughter! – to mush.

No, I don’t understand why we’re doing it either.

The Scenic Mountain is right next to Lady Village.  This is where we get to fight the “lady” encounters from the original series.  That would be Madame Insect and Madame Umbrella.

Not quite so lady-like...

There is also a brand new monster girl, Aradia.  She was teased on Toro Toro Resistance’s blog before part 2 came out.  If you like big beautiful tits, well:

The Ur Titty Monster

Is that too much?  Can you have too much boob?

Best I can work out, she’s an ambulatory pile of giant boobs.  I’m not sure how it all works either.  Further research must be done in the name of science.

Her temptation move is to bury Luka in tits.

I think Luka is under there somewhere...

Hmm, I can see the appeal.

Lose and she draws us into a world of tits.  Nestled between her giant boobies, she sucks us off with a mouth nipple.

Can boob heaven really be considered a Bad End?

It’s one of UN_DO’s monster girls, so there is more Aradia waiting for us back at the pocket castle after we recruit her.  She has 3 request scenes, but technically it’s 4 as her 100-Affection scene gives us a choice to fight the boobies or drown in their softness.  “Fighting” plays out like an extended version of her temptation scene (spoiler: we don’t resist for very long).  Drowning has us suckling on her giant teat and getting a milk bath.  The other scenes are variations on her nipple-fuck Bad End.

So, a little… milkier… than we started, we arrive at the top of the mountain.  This is where we will confront the nefarious… Candy?

I'm starting to think this mountain is really just a bad acid trip

Ambulatory pile of boobs.  Now what looks like a giant ambulatory blancmange.

Whatever.  It’s Japan.  Just roll with it.

No Candy.  We’re not a roll.

You can’t eat us…

Someone forgot to screenshot her boss fight Bad End.

FML.

Like Poseidoness, Candy is also a bit of a dim bulb.  Filling her belly appears to be her prime motivation.

Either my notes went missing on this section, I bungled a translation, or the game straight-up doesn’t cover it, but I never really worked out how Candy fitted into the plot.  When I first saw her artwork, I assumed Black Alice was behind her somehow.  That would make sense, except the defining feature of Alice’s gals so far is that they aren’t recruitable, even after you beat them.  And this isn’t true for Candy.  You can recruit her afterwards.  She needs a number of specific food items.  I think they are all item drops from other monster girls.  The two-mouth girl that can be found outside Yamatai Village drops one of them.  I think one of the harem succubi in Succubus Village drops another.  I’ve been doing a “collect-em-all” on the monsterpedia throughout the game, so I already had all the food items Candy wanted.

Her request H-scenes are vore-related and fatal if you select the low-affection one.  In one she slathers Luka in strawberries and cream and then licks it off with first her hair tongues, and then the big tongue from her lower mouth.

Candy likes to cover you in strawberries and cream and lick it all off

The other has her feeding us sweet cake while jerking us off with her big tongue.  She shoves a breast in our face, wanks us off into a teacup and then drinks it.

You drink my milk, I'll drink your milk.

If you selected the 10-affection option… well, see above.  Candy swallows more than cum.  Say Hi to Death in Hades for me…

Defeating her will get back the cake that holds all of Cassandra and Emily’s power.

So we give it to Alice to eat and then walk off into the sunset laughing our asses off.

No…?

Sigh.

It’s not like Cassandra and Emily join the party after you give them their cake back.  They’re still mean girl jerks.  In Cassandra’s case, literally.  Candy had already scarfed down a fair bit of the cake.  There’s enough left to fully restore Emily, but it only partially restores Cassandra.  She now looks the same age as Emily and isn’t too bothered about it as it means they can both be snarky teen girls (of a legal age) together.

Cassandra, MQ:P version

But not as recruits in Luka’s harem army.  This surprised me, but then made sense with the text that followed.

Returning (some of) Cassandra’s power completes King Grangold’s quest (assuming you’ve already resolved the Succubus Village conflict).  He’ll give you a reward next time you see him and you can also recruit Queen Ant providing you’ve completed the Yamatai Village side quest and have the fairy nectar.

Returning Cassandra’s powers also opens up another side quest.  Remember Magical Mari-chan and her mysterious magical girl ceremony?  Cassandra and Emily talk about that as they leave the mansion.

I think it might be worth going back to Goddard and having a little chat with Magical Mari-chan…

Let's Play Monmusu Quest: Paradox [part 2] - 37: Lady Village

Beginning

<- Previous: Succubus Village 2

Time to go to the Lady Village, which is full of ladies of refined breeding and elegance.  They absolutely don’t eat any men unfortunate enough to be drawn to their pretty little village...

It’s a lovely place.

I'll give you a hug, she said...

Nothing bad happens here at all.

.....

The Lady Village is north of Succubus Village and has a mountain location to the east of it where I imagine we’ll be doing some quest-type stuff later.

Lady Village, should you be foolish enough to want to go here...

Sonya: “Hey, this village looks nice.”

Alice: “It’s where posh women live.  They are also demons and bad guys that eat any men passing through.”

Asking around reveals there have been some changes.  There’s been some fallout between the “ladies” and the more aggressive ones have buggered off to the nearby mountain.  The rest are still quite happy to suck men, but not to death.  The first house I saw I took to be the battlefucker’s residence given all the collapsed dudes outside it.  Turns out it’s the home of an insect madam and umbrella madam.  They suck men right to the brink and then toss them outside after feeding.

It’s... better... I suppose.

Can we go back to the inn in Succubus Village?

The battlefucker can be found in a house at the top and on the right.  She seems normal.

You seem... normal... for these parts

I wonder what her special technique is...

Geddit off me!  Geddit off!

!!!!!

She uses some kind of... squirmy thing... as a fleshlight.

WTF!  Get that thing away from me, Ophylia.

I told you about this place.  I.  Told.  You.

Next to her house is a fun bit of chaos.  Every village/town has their own priest (you talk to them to set the point you return to should you... ahem... “fall” to a monster girl’s temptations).  This one is currently running around and being chased by two “ladies”.  Kamuro is here, but rather than her usual partner, Kitsu, we have Promestein trying to give her a lesson on the physics of flying.  Kamuro is very unnerved by the whole thing.

The reason we’re here is to find out why the village head, Cassandra, has locked herself away and refuses to accept visitors.

(Yes, that is the same Cassandra we can see melting Luka to mush in the pictures above.  King Grangold, you really should be more aware of who’s running your provincial towns and villages.)

From asking around it sounds like Cassandra got her ass kicked by Neris and has hid herself away in her mansion out of shame.

(We can burn it down.  We’d be doing the world a favour.)

The front door to the mansion is guarded by her maid.

Don't ask to look under her dress...

And that isn’t a joke.  Her maid is a fairly intimidating scylla.

Maid + Bouncer

She likes stuffing Luka in her pussy, if I remember her right from the original series.  And by “Luka”, I mean all of him, not just his penis.  We’re using man-eater in the literal sense here.

So let’s not lose.  Which we don’t.

After overpowering her maid, Cassandra will let you into her mansion.

So where is she...

Cassandra is slightly less intimidating in this universe

Ah.  That would be why they’re reluctant to show their face in public.  (snort)

Neris (Alice 17) did beat them up, but it was another demon, Candy, that stole their powers.  Candy stole their magical power, transmuted it into cakes and sweets, and is busily scoffing them over on the nearby mountain.  Cassandra asks us to go and get them back so her and Emily can be restored to their original forms.

And we’re going to do this, because... why?

At least we get the scylla maid, Ran, as part of the bargain.  I suppose you can’t have too many maids.

Right, so it’s time to head off to the Scenic Mountain to...

Remind me why we’re doing this again?

We’re talking about the woman who did this in the original series:

Are you sure you want her to restore her to this?

She even ate her own child.  Ate.  Her.  Own.  Child!

Sigh.  Shakes head.  Off we go then.
