Chapter 134: Dealing With Chaos (2/2)

Shayna bashfully blushed just a little, but the appearance was that of Loren. The gap between the action and the appearance was so big that Lapis felt dizzy.

“A-aside from that, is there any inconvenience?”

“That’s right. That… is a bit uncomfortable…”

Shayna hesitantly looked down at her own crotch. Lapis understood what she wanted to say with that action; she looked up at the sky and sighed, unable to say anything.

The difference in physique between Loren and Shayna was definitely a problem, but something even more problematic was their difference in gender: Loren was a man, and Shayna was a girl. In short, Loren had something that Shayna originally didn’t have, and the feeling of a non-existing organ brought confusion and discomfort to her.

“I have decided that this is a very serious situation.”

“O-onee-san…”

“I’ll need to tell him to give me some detailed data later…”

“Please stop, onee-san. Onii-san will die mentally.”

Shayna flapped her hands in a panic. The action would be cute had it been done by a girl, but it was a deadly weapon being performed by a well-trained swordsman like Loren.

The horse whinnied in annoyance at all the fuss being done on its back. Lapis soothed it while smiling wryly and apologizing to Shayna, who was still waving her arms around.

“Sorry sorry. It was a rather bad joke.”

“Please stop, really. Onii-san can hear this.”

Lapis’ face twitched slightly at those words. While residing inside Loren, Shayna was able to see and hear the state of the outside world by synchronizing with his sensations. Conversely, now that she was in control of the body, she seemed to be able to transmit what she saw and heard to Loren.

“As I have become the No Life King, I’m alright with the total darkness I reside in, where I can’t hear anything. But Onii-san is human, and spending a long time in a state where there’s no sound or no light can cause abnormalities to his mentality.”

“I feel like there is a kind of torture just like that.”

“Therefore, I’m still maintaining my synchronization with onii-san’s sense of sight and hearing. Please act while bearing that in mind, onee-san.”

“I will keep it in mind.”

Wondering what kind of retaliation would await her once this was all over, Lapis shuddered slightly and turned her eyes towards Klaus and the girls, who were still entangling with each other on the ground.

Seemed like Klaus was trying desperately to fend off the girls, but even though he had an advantage in terms of individual power, he was overwhelmingly disadvantageous in terms of number. The situation was slowly becoming one where it was impossible to say that his defense wouldn’t break.

“So unexpected. I thought you’d just go with the flow and do it.”

“There are occasions when I care about the timing and situation too!”

Klaus was trying to peel the girls off him somehow, but he couldn’t be too rough with his companions. The girls were in no state to care about places or situations though; they just thrust their hands into any gaps of his armor and clothes and trailed their tongue along his nape. Klaus was overwhelmingly disadvantaged.

“Also, doing it with them while they’re being dosed with such a horrible drug is no fun at all!”

“I’m having troubles reacting to that even if you press me.”

“Please! Do something-!”

Klaus asking for help while being approached by women was an extremely rare sight that might never ever happen again if one missed it, Lapis thought. But this was not the time to happily watch.

“It’ll be a little rough, so forgive me, OK?”

Lapis waved her hands without waiting for a reply, and Klaus and the three girls who were coiling themselves around him were all blown away and crashed into the trees.

Klaus, who still had his senses, was able to immediately get up as the girls had acted as his cushions and lessened the impact. But the three girls hadn’t landed well and had taken some damages; they were writhing in pain and unable to stand up.

“What… Or rather, wasn’t it too much for ‘a little rough’?”

“I was trying to blow you all away in one go with >… Was it too rough? I don’t have time to peel them off one by one.”

> was one of the few offensive spells in the list of spells deemed legal to practice by law, which was dominated by protective and healing spells. Being hit by it was just like being punched by an invisible fist; it was not a spell with the power to blow away four people including Klaus.

“It’s already too late by now, but can I ask who you are?”

“Just a priestess serving the God of Knowledge. Let’s keep it at that.”

Her words did not allow for any arguments. Klaus immediately understood that it was not something for him to delve into; he nodded to show his acknowledgement while enduring the pain running through his body.
