Chapter 469 (2/2)

「If she does turn into a useless coward, leave her to me. She might not be the greatest commander…… but I like training strong-willed women like her. This time, I want to break her down into a female slave.」

As Sekrit licks her lips, I make a mental note to myself that she has to be monitored closely.

「By the way, I hear you have to release your seed or risk bursting, right? Man, that’s quite a body you have there…… I was planning to check on you and our interests just happen to match. I guess I’ll squeeze one shot while I’m here.」

Sekrit doesn’t give me any time to stop her and flips the futon open.

「……h.e.l.lo.」

「Nice to…… meet you.」

Annette and Rukino make eye contact with her.

「Forget it. I changed my mind!」

Sekrit returns the futon back to its original position and turns her body, unleas.h.i.+ng a spinning kick at Annette’s a.s.s.

「Yeeoow!!」

The strike without any shred of restraint lands on Annette’s bare a.s.s, causing her to unconsciously bite down on my d.i.c.k and faint in agony.

「Hey Sekrit, if you’re going to kick anyone, kick me. What are you going to do if Annette’s teeth break!?」

Sekrit already left by that point so I didn’t get a reply.

「Requesting permission to enter.」

「I’m here.」

Next to visit are Tikuku and Pipi.

Pipi jumps right in, but Tikuku waits in front of the wide-open door.

「Sure.」

After granting permission, Tikuku closes the door and then opens it again before walking in. 了I don’t know whether that’s a sign of high performance or low performance.

「Pochi’s in trouble. Pipi wants you to comfort Pochi.」

「Ah, you mean that?」

Pochi transformed into a new type of chariot after its entire body was equipped with box-shaped steel armor.

This is to hide Pochi’s ident.i.ty from the other allies and also to limit Pochi’s field of vision, preventing it from getting scared easily.

The problem occurred during the attack of a stubbornly resisting fort after Tortoent had fallen.

Pochi was bombarding the fort with its breath and a piece of armor just happened to come off.

The scene which immediately entered Pochi’s line of sight was the sea of flames surrounding the enemy fort and the mountain of burnt enemy soldier corpses.

I didn’t think anything of it at the time, since killing the enemy in a war is pretty normal……

However, that traumatized Pochi so much that it won’t leave its bed, let alone fight.

「Pochi received a big shock.」

Pipi has been staying with Pochi this whole time, but hasn’t been able to comfort it successfully.

「I don’t think there’s any point in me going. How about giving it its favorite food everyday? What was it again?」

I haven’t memorized what a lizard likes to eat.

「Spicy eggplant and cabbage stir fry. As for meat, only a little bit of lean chicken.」

「……」

I don’t really think that’s bad, although its preference is similar to that of a town girl, even though it looks like a creature who likes to gobble up an entire cow.

「Saying that will hurt its feelings. You shouldn’t say that to its face.」

Pipi got upset. So that thing is delicate.

Anyways, I’ll ask the chefs to add it to the menu.

「So, what brings Tikuku here?」

「End of combat confirmed. Reporting in.」

Oh, she wanted to report to me.

I believe I ordered her to protect headquarters.

「Headquarters defense mission received. Afterward, executed three independent interpretations. Seeking approval.」

Well, let’s see what she has to say.

「Encampment defense interpreted by a.n.a.logy as the removal of threats to the encampment. Expanded interpretation of threats to the encampment as potential threats. a.s.signed label of potential threats to existences stipulated as threatening forces and their collaborators. Based on the aforementioned, interpreted order of encampment defense as an order to eliminate all threatening forces and their collaborators.」

I don’t really understand.

Eh, whatever.

「Results report: Encampment defense――achieved. Threats eliminated――86. Collaborators eliminated――27. Unknown――19. Damage――7 shots to forehead, all minor.」

「That’s great. Well done―― guh, really good.」

Rukino’s restrained tongue and Annette’s a.s.sertive tongue a.s.sault my d.i.c.k.

The occasional entwining and troubled separation of their tongues is unbearable.

「Confirming a.s.sessment. Temporarily restoring remote magic link. Sharing code of conduct with all automatic puppets.」

Because of the pleasure to my crotch, I can’t really focus on what she’s saying, not that I would understand anyways.

「Suggesting to all individuals from T1002. Independent interpretation of most important order “the people’s happiness”. Defining happiness as the removal of misfortune. Removal of misfortune as a necessary action―― sharing “swift removal of the citizens”――」

「What are you mumbling about?」

I flick Tikuku’s forehead with a finger, prompting her to rub the spot with her hands.

「Link severed. T-99 will defer interpretation.」

I don’t know what she said, but I don’t think it’s anything bad.

The two of them left feeling more or less satisfied.

Alright, who’s next?

「I’m begging you!!」

「Tch, Busco? ――or not.」

The person prostrated as soon as the door opened so I immediately thought it was Busco, but it was a woman.

「You’re Zillia.」

She’s the woman who was captured along with Christoph and should be undergoing harsh interrogation.

Normally, she shouldn’t have the right to leave.

Shackles are attached to her arms and legs and she has guards accompanying her.

I signal to the guards that they can go.

Then Zillia proceeds to stand up, walks all the way in front of me and prostrates herself again.

「Please…… I beg of you, have mercy……」

「I don’t know what you’re talking about.」

I never intended to treat her especially harshly.

She was interrogated for several consecutive days by the man who loves her, so it was probably closer to flirting.

「I mean about Christoph!」

「Ah……」

I sigh and tell Annette to be less noisy.

「Christoph…… I heard that guy put him in the penal unit!」

I thought I successfully avoided dealing with Christoph, but Leopolt a.s.signed him to that unit before I knew it. His a.s.signment will apparently be until the notable information gleaned from Zillia’s interrogation runs out.

I could cover for him, but the escort unit clearly saw him clas.h.i.+ng with me so I can’t hide anything.

It was presumed that he was forced by the enemy, although he can’t exactly escape without any blame.

「Please! What happened was like a joke, Christoph is actually really weak! He’s so weak, he’s actually been taken out by a piglet before!」

I guess Christoph is Christoph no matter where he is.

「The penal unit is basically asking to be expended and are usually on the frontlines―― there’s no way he’ll survive……」

Zillia finally broke into tears.

She genuinely loves Christoph, huh.

He did well to get a girl to like him this much.

「I……I’ll do anything……I don’t mind taking his place in the penal unit and dying…… so please……」

She’ll do anything. Christoph will probably say the same if he heard her.

Then a thought comes to mind and I smile wickedly.

「If I said I’d consider it if you let me embrace you, what would you do?」

I flip up the futon.

Annette and Rukino are still going at it.

「Uuu.」

Zillia closes her eyes and begins to take her clothes off, softly muttering words of apology.

Suddenly, my b.a.l.l.s were bitten by Annette and Rukino.

I guess they didn’t like it when I joked with a woman who is doing her best for the man she loves.

「Alright, I have seen your determination. I’ll talk with the commander of the penal unit, don’t worry.」

Zillia, relieved, collapses to the floor, now naked.

「By the way, have you already slept with Christoph?」

「……not yet, even though I invite him every time during interrogations.」

What the heck is he doing?

The next person who visited was Myla.

I tell the two servicing me to hold back a little. Myla will get pretty upset if she finds out.

「I heard about your circ.u.mstances. Can I be glad…… that it wasn’t a serious injury?」

「I can’t really say.」

It’s still pouring out.

Also, I finished the roast pig Sekrit brought me and I’m still hungry.

「Ahem……anyway, I have a request. I would like the security unit and the conscripts to return to Rafen.」

「Yeah, I heard.」

There is a heavy burden on logistics to train the recruits and the death count is too high to warrant their partic.i.p.ation in battle.

「That’s only the surface reason, right?」

「Yes. It is also a proposal from Leopolt-dono and Tristan.」

I can infer a rough idea, although it’s probably better to trust her right now.

「Is it alright not to disband the recruits?」

「Yes. It will be done after they reach Rafen……that’s the plan.」

I don’t ask any further and Myla doesn’t elaborate either.

「Ahem. Well, I will also help improve your medical condition.」

Myla changes the subject and flips open the futon.

「……h.e.l.lo there.」

「……nice to meet you.」

Myla pauses and Annette covers her a.s.s with a pillow.

This time, a kick did not come.

Myla clears her throat and crawls into the covers, pus.h.i.+ng the two aside.

「Eeh, not fair.」

「A-am I not needed anymore?」

Myla ignores their protesting and abuses her authority as a n.o.ble to chase them away.

I smile wryly and lower my head at the two women.

「Fufu, it’s been so long since we can be alone.」

「You’re right.」

Myla and I exchange a few kisses.

「I heard you now have a limitless supply. I don’t have to hold back today.」

Myla crawled under the futon and was just about to start servicing me.

「Hardlett, are you alright?」

Erich came after being guided by Celia.

「Yes, I’m honored you made the effort to visit me.」

I can’t tell him to wait since Myla is sucking me right now.

「Step outside.」

Erich orders. Celia reluctantly obeys, unable to refuse with her standing.

Only Erich and I, as well as the hidden Myla, are left in the room.

I feel a droplet of water fall on my thigh.

Myla must be sweating like a waterfall.

I know it would be rude of me to greet Erich while lying on my back.

However, when I twisted my body, Erich walked to the side of my bed.

Myla finally started to tremble nervously.

「I don’t mind if you stayed down. I wouldn’t want you to prolong your stay here by making things worse…… although it doesn’t seem to be a life-threatening injury.」

Erich, noticing the sc.r.a.ps leftover from the roast pig and the clothes of Annette and Rukino, smiles.

I guess he encountered the naked women at the entrance.

Myla is safe for now.

「Then if you’ll excuse my behavior, may I ask what business you have with me today?」

Erich leaves my bed and stands by the window.

The cheers welcoming the citizens are still continuing.

「I came to visit…… and also discuss a fairly serious issue.」

Because his back is turned, I can’t see his expression, but I can tell he isn’t smiling.

That’s expected. If he simply came to visit, he wouldn’t have needed Celia to be gone.

I whisper to Myla not to make a sound and she nods with tears in her eyes.
