Chapter 15 – Battle at the horse pasture

When we got back I changed to casual clothes and Sati also changed to the clothes that she bought with Elizabeth the other day.

It’s a one piece that reveals her shoulders and it also has frilly laces so it looks very cute. It looks good on her. Somehow my heart started beating profusely.

We are doing the reading and writing practice, but I can’t calm down. Sati is also restless and can’t seem to be able to concentrate. Also, she is sitting a bit farther than usual and every time our bodies touch she reacts with a twitch.

This is not good like this. Let’s stop for today.

“Sati, go and bring some pudding. Let’s take a break.”

“Y-yes. I’m sorry.”

Sati must’ve known herself that she couldn’t concentrate. She went to bring the pudding from the refrigerator with a crestfallen expression.

Well then, what should I do.

There is still time until night, but even if I want to go have fun somewhere, there isn’t really any place for that in this town. Apparently, if you go as far as the royal capital there is a theater there.

For an adventurer it’s probably common to go to the bar, but unfortunately I’m bad with things like that.

Lately I read books when I have free time, but I don’t think I could concentrate on it on this particular day.

I should go and take a bath.

I make sure to take a bath every day lately, so I’ve come to mind the sweat even after using Purification. It’s better to be hygienic after all.

“Should we go take a bath?”

Maybe today, no, isn’t today finally the day when I should have Sati wash my entire body? Angela and Elizabeth also had it done to them and they gave high praises so I really want experience it for myself.

When I returned to the dressing room after pouring hot water into the bathtub, Sati had already taken off her clothes and was completely nude. Okay, calm down, me. We will soon be doing it, so this is within the tolerable limits.

I thoroughly appreciate Sati’s naked body.

She looks fles.h.i.+er compared to before after all. She is still slim, but maybe because I’m having her do training too, her body has become tight and her skin is smooth. She is very beautiful. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s are also bigger than I thought.

Although they are small.

“Uhm, is there something strange…..?”

Ah, I stared too much. Sati is embarra.s.sed after all, she is fidgeting.

“Ah, nn. You are beautiful.”

So much so that I want to push her down this instant.

“Then let’s go in.”

Sati’s full body was.h.i.+ng was exceptional. I understand why Elizabeth said she wanted her. But she is mine you know? And then, to return the favor, I also washed her.

We both soak in the bathtub. I’m hugging Sati from behind currently.

“Forever……I want stay together with Masaru-sama like this forever.”

Firmly grasping my arm, she suddenly said this.

Forever, huh.

If I return to j.a.pan after the 20 years are up, what should I do with Sati….. take her with me to j.a.pan?

Will Itous.h.i.+n allow that?

Should I stay here?

No, I can’t. I want to go back after all. The reason I can endure my current lifestyle is because I believe I can go back.

If it became certain that I would bury my bones in this different world, then I might not be able take it.

“Is it……is it not possible?”

Sati says after seeing me staying silent.

“Well….we’ll see. What I’m about to tell you is a secret from everyone, okay?”

“Yes.”

“My home is very far, you see. I’ve been sent here with something like Transfer Magic. So I can’t go home now, but there is a promise to pick me up after 20 years has pa.s.sed.”

“Twenty years…..”

“Yes. So at the very least I can be at the side of Sati for 20 years. However, beyond that I don’t know. I might go back to my home, or I might feel that I want to stay here.”

“Take me with…..”

“I don’t know. What that Transfer Magic is like. But if I can take you with me, then I will absolutely take you with me for sure. I promise.”

“Yes, Masaru-sama.”

Sati was satisfied with that it seems. She relaxed and leaned into me.

Twenty years, huh.

I have to survive twenty years. But I wonder what the ‘world falling into ruin’ means. Will the Demon King revive or something? If I ask Priest-sama he might know something perhaps.

We got out of the bath and moved to our room.

She is wearing that revealing clothes that she was wearing when I bought her.

“This is what I was wearing when I first met Masaru-sama.”

I got flashback to when I first saw Sati at the Slave Merchant.

“Nn, that takes me back. I’m really happy that I was able meet Sati that time.”

Sati, who showered even someone like me with a great deal of affection, feels very precious to me from the bottom of my heart.

“Masaru-sama…..”

After that, the two of us had plenty of tender fun. It was a bit painful for Sati, but…..Recovery Magic is really convenient.

Also, big sister, what the heck did you teach Sati.

Thank you very much.

“I should start preparing dinner soon.”

Said Sati as she sat up on the bed.

“Let’s eat boxed lunches today.”

I take out the same kind of boxed lunches that I took out on the day I bought Sati.

This is also nostalgic, right?

“Is this……”

I put two in front of Sati.

“There is also wild rabbit skewer if you want.”

“T-thank you very much……”

Sati was saying ‘it’s delicious’, ‘it’s delicious’ as she ate while sobbing.

After we ate? Of course, we resumed what we were doing before.

That day we enjoyed ourselves until late at night, then slept until just before noon the next day.

■■■■■■■■■■■■

There are also Skills named Endless s.e.xual Stamina and s.e.xual Techniques. Although I won’t take them at this point. I don’t think Sati could take it if I go too hard.

There are also Skills like Mesmerize and mind control type Skills that, although have big Point requirements, I can take. However, there is a law that prohibits things like that over here. It’s the same as using Crest of Subordination to control someone without permission, a serious crime. You will be arrested.

For example even if I made a harem with Mesmerize, if I get found out by someone like Tilika-chan, then it will end with ‘Guilty.’ and ‘Police officer, it’s this person!’.

I just have to do things with my own power. It’s unexpectedly strict for a different world.

■■■■■■■■■■■■

The next day when I woke up it was already almost noon.

After we had lunch and went to the Guild, people there were already spa.r.s.e.

As we tried to go through the Guild Hall to the training field, an out-of-breath man rushed in.

“Bi-big trouble! The horse pasture is under attack by a flock of harpies! Please help!”

“Calm down. About how many harpies were there?”

“Don’t know. There were at least 20 or 30. The soldiers from the gate are currently fighting them.”

“Masaru-sama, is the horse pasture……”

Hearing the exchange between the man who came to notify us and the adventurer, Sati and I looked at each other.

“It’s where we buy the horse milk in bulk.”

“I-it’s terrible then! Let’s go and save them at once!”

Well, if the horse milk runs out, then we won’t be able to eat pudding, but isn’t she a bit too frantic?

As I was hesitating whether or not we should go to their rescue right now as Sati said, a Guild staff member called out to us adventurers to wait for a bit. The adventurers who were at the training field gathered at the Guild hall.

“Adventurer ladies and gentleman!”

The Vice Guild Chief appeared and raised his voice.

“As you’ve heard, the horse pasture is under attack by harpies. The subjugation reward is doubled! Please head to their rescue at once!”

Ooooo!, the adventurers raised their voice.

“Okay, Sati. Make absolutely sure you don’t leave my side, okay?”

“Yes, Masaru-sama.”

If it’s just harpies then it probably won’t be that dangerous even if there are many. It’s an opportunity to have Sati gain some experience points.

The two of us follow after the other adventurers. While running I open Sati’s menu and raise the Archery and Swordsmans.h.i.+p Skills to Level 3. With this Sati’s Points are gone.

s.h.i.+t, I should’ve practiced the spells I learned yesterday. I guess I’ll have to use only fire magic today.

Kaan kaan kaan, from somewhere the sound of a bell can be heard.

We come across some townspeople who are taking refuge, then we leave through the west gate. If you leave through the west gate and then head to the north side of the road you can see the horse pasture shortly. The pasture is surrounded by a st.u.r.dy looking fence, but of course that doesn’t matter to monsters who attack from the sky.

A few horses got taken out already and they are being swarmed by harpies.

Looking at the barn there were many harpies that were trying to get in and a few soldiers who were fighting them with their backs to the front door.

The the number of harpies were far from 20 or 30, there were at least double that, so much so that it’s hard to know the exact number. Even if we want to go the rescue of those soldiers in front of the barn, we aren’t able to approach.

“Uoooooooooooooooooooo!”

The adventurers at the front let out a war cry. They are trying to lure the harpies away probably.

“Sati, come here.”

I pull Sati by her hand and hide in the shadow of a tree.

The distance to the barn is big, so I don’t think magic would reach. A portion of the harpies that noticed the war cry started heading towards the adventurers. I take out a few big boulders from the Item Box and make an impromptu protective wall.

“Can you aim from here?”

The two of us take cover behind the protective wall made of big boulders and I ask Sati.

“I will try.”

“Aim for the ones up high so you don’t hit the adventurers.”

“Okay.”

Sati pulls the bowstring to its limit, then shoots. The arrow accurately hit the shoulder of a harpy high up in the air, then after a few seconds the harpy hit the ground while screaming kii kiii. Then the adventurers deliver the finis.h.i.+ng blow with a sword to the harpy that is struggling and squirming.

“Good work, Sati, keep it up. Keep shooting steadily.”

“Yes.”

Alright, I will do it too. 【Fire Lance】 chanting! I shoot spells while hiding behind the boulders.

From Sati’s arrows and my magic the harpies are falling one after the other. Even if there are ones that come our way we shoot them down on the way.

The large number of harpies at the barn probably recognized the adventurers as hard to handle so they started heading this way one after the other.

Some of them are wandering towards us. However, a few adventurers noticed that we are providing covering fire to them, so to defend us they wedged themselves between us and the harpies.

But the number of harpies was too much. The adventurers were fighting desperately, but the situation was unfavorable. A few of them got injured already and fell down. Bit by bit, there were adventurers who come in to reinforce, but it’s not nearly enough.

This is bad. At this rate even we will get killed…….is there something I can do?

I open Sati’s menu. Her level went up by two. I raise her Archery to Level 4 and hand her additional arrows from my Item Box.

Should I use a big fire magic? But with the explosion or the firestorm the adventurers might get dragged in.
