Chapter 20-22 (1/2)

…The bloodstenched strategywill be done tomorrow on the consideration of her Majesty She said she didn't want to dirty the prayers towards Cecil

Her Majesty is someone worthy of respect -at least forthe request of bringing food and medicine for the people

It was quite the suh profit from the investh money to rebuild the hideout, so I am satisfied

Also…we basically have decided on the next job

We still don't knoin this war as h So the reward for it will be discussed tomorroell

There's a tsundere elf-san that's postponing her decision after all

It is fine

I a journey after all

We were guided by the Ludo soldiers to our lodging Each of us had an extravagant suite room It is a luxury that we rarely have a chance to enjoy, so I lie down on the big bed

While lying down, I think about what to do froreat role model

Now then, first, thein a quite disadvantageous war, so it is i force

First, Zephyr and I

In terms of battle and destructive power, as well as assassinations, ould be peerless

I could actually pull off a thousand , if I were to do a rush with a dragon, we could drag a decent number of enemies to hell with us

It is an immense amount of enemies after all If ere to burn thee of a surprise attack, we could kill a bunch of the you doith me'; Sharon Doche

It is already settled that this idiot will be participating He did set us up after all He has no right to refuse I will have him accompany us to hell Well, he will definitely do his best to his dying breath for the sake of her Majesty though

If she wereto put et bad, I will use Zephyr and Sharon to bring her somewhere safe

There's no need to die for the sake of a falling country I wouldn't want those two to be separated by the wall of life and death… This idiotic dragon knight won't allow that

Now then, about this other idiot…Sharon Doche, is actually skilled as a mercenary, too

His harmless appearance like that of a noble, the speed he has when running away, along with his strange good luck His skill with the rapier is also decent He is a civil and skillful guy, so I don't think he willis already worthy of a reliable ally

His special ability is gathering inforoes to an enemy territory bar as a bard, and spreads a variety of ruh at, you know?

…There's no small amount of people who have been deceived by his duplicity and have had internal fallings In a here there's many coht actually be a key character in the war to coed person, estin infiltration and assassinations She is also good at setting traps, irl with a lot of skills

Ah, e die, we die together

We were purified by the wine and have exchanged the pact of life She must have drunk wine for the sake of that ceremony I could tell that Did the elf-chan not notice?

Mia and I exchanged a 'cup of sake' We formed a pact in front of her Majesty

If she were to be killed, I will take revenge for her and die

Just like how, if I were to die, she would take revenge for me and then die

Nice It really strikes into my Strauss blood and heart There's rarely any women who can share the beauty of this As expected of ive her her surname I will receive her into the Strauss household

Ah, this isn't a wedding, okay?

She is only a 13 year old girl I ahter of Kane Strauss will be a Cait Sith beauty -carved together with us into our songs She is a cute girl My father would definitely be happy too She is also good at killing An exeht ariant, Gandallkun

Giants apparently don't have surna faend that there have never been internal conflicts between theive him the Strauss surname too, but I feel like he would refuse it, so I decide not to I feel like he would make fun of me with complicated words

Well, he thinks ofhiry

Gandalla excels at tactics and scheer than me, and has experienced many more battlefields than ies that will otiations with a silver tongue His ability in physical battles is outstanding, but his field is definitely as a tactician He is a mash of brain and brawn

His weak point is that he is not fit for assassinations and infiltrations He is way too big and stands out after all Well, there's places where only giants can infiltrate, so he could slip into those kind of places With his overflowing knowledge, he has a response for als

Ah, of course, he is also strong If it is solely in physical strength, he surpassesaround those kind of things It would be undealable Also, he can use one lightning spell [Charge], a strength enhancer

A hit of a [Charge] buffed spear would surpass an attack of sword in terms of destructive power… Well, in battles of power, he is reliable as a warrior too

”…Fuuys As expected of roup They are members suited for destruction… With thisa pathetic performance” (Solje)

…Also…

”…Come in” (Solje)

I talk to Riel Harveld-chan who is at the other side of the door The door slowly opens And then, the elf girl that seeht

She ca her body Not a bad resolve

”…I did plan on knocking, you know?” (Riel)

”No need to with ic eye I can at least see the shape of what's at the other side of the walls” (Solje)

”I know, but it's a matter of manners” (Riel)

”…Well, that's true Now then, coht? Come here” (Solje)

”…O-Okay Uhm…are you sober now?” (Riel)

”I wonder I am at least calmer than before” (Solje)

”…No harassirl who s that

She also seant options

I was sitting on ht co

She pulled out a seat from a furniture that comes in set with it, and sits on that

I purposely had a space for you to sit on the bed though? …Maybe she didn't get it Oh well

”And so, have you reached an answer?” (Solje)

Chapter 21

Content Warning: A bit of lewd ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

—

”…Yeah, I will participate” (Riel)

”I see But why?” (Solje)

”W-Why? You don't want me to participate?” (Riel)

”No, I a to?” (Solje)

”T-That's not fair!! You forcefully told me to come with you just before” (Riel)

”I want to confir to be facing danger after all” (Solje)

”What are you saying? We arewith the shadow of death in the battlefield is the usual in our lives” (Riel)

”…Yeah, but this tierous than the previous instances That's why you were considering it, right? Even with that, you are still co… I want to hear the reason why” (Solje)

”…U-Uhm…! I-It is that…yeah, that!” (Riel)

”That what?” (Solje)

”Y-You know, it would be tough to have only one adult dealing with an idiot and an idiot, and a child and a child…!” (Riel)

This was getting irritating, so I pulled the ared to hug her in my arms She is so feeble and s me…?!” (Riel)

”Because I am seriously happy that you decided to stay with me” (Solje)

”I-It's not with you…more like, everyone…” (Riel)

”Is that really the case?” (Solje)

The girl falls silent She isn't trying to escape from my arms as usual

This is not outdoors, and there's no interlopers The mood is perfect in this suite room For an elf that treasures the ht?

”…Eh? W-Wait!” (Riel)

I made Riel sit on the bed, then put my arm below her knees, and carry her to theflustered, but isn't running away In Riel's language, it ainst it

”…So-Solje…Ah!” (Riel)

Riel's body was sunk into the bed, and I placed both of o anywhere now

But Riel pouts with herway too rough It feels as if I aentle here though” (Solje)

”…W-What do you plan…to do now…?” (Riel)

”I a to make you my woman” (Solje)

”…I-In other words…” (Riel)

”You will be having my child” (Solje)

”Y-Your child?!” (Riel)

Was it a bit too straight? Riel's face gets red But she was asking for details, so I also properly told her my intentions I feel like it had the opposite effect

”I-I have laws inwith a man other than me?” (Solje)

”I-I didn't say that!!” (Riel)

”Then there's no problem Just become mine and mine alone” (Solje)

”…That's not fair… There's no mood at all” (Riel)

”Sorry about that This is hoe Strauss are every generation when taking a wife We would go as far as kidnapping women if we fall in love with them” (Solje)

”That's a terrible faht But that love is pure in a sense” (Solje)

”…L-Love, you say…!” (Riel)

Right, I will admit it

”I love you, Riel To the point that I would want to get you no matter what I have to do” (Solje)

”…! D-Don't suddenly confess” (Riel)

”I a beforea child Common sense” (Solje)

”T-The process of it is too rushed…” (Riel)

”Kinda The Strauss…no, I am like that Your luck ran out the moment a violent berserker fell in love with you Give up” (Solje)

”…Y-You won't…confirs?” (Riel)

”A brave warrior like you isn't struggling at all and is accepting ” (Solje)

When I said that, Riel's face turns bright red Even her long ears are red

”…Shoith your body rather than your words Love htly and kiss her I don't do it roughly Slow and gentle We exchange the heat in each other's bodies

The elf's eue were answeringShe opens and closes her ainstall the tiue and entwined it with mine

I let Riel do as she wished for a while While receiving her unskillful show of love, I slowly separate froot tired of it, I si her lips released, her breathing was rough I could tell that she was also aroused Her e heated, and she asks lance

”Did I…convey it well?” (Riel)

”Yeah, it was quite the display… But I want more” (Solje)

”…Ah” (Riel)

I take off my shi+rt A muscular body ridden in scars is exposed It is my battle history Compared to your body that carries perfect beauty, ly I really passed a life of scars

”…Solje, you have fought a lot” (Riel)

Her fingers trace the scars edged inat the part where

”…This scar seems to be really deep It ” (Riel)

”Yeah I will be fighting from here on as well -forever Until the day when I die or I defeat all of ht, you are a Strauss after all” (Riel)

There's no regrets I have been running on the philosophy of 'take your pain with pride' But I would like to be soothed every now and then

If you become mine, a treasure I haven't had until now in ive

I want to create a bond I want to live while having the certainty that you will always be byto my life that hasn't had one until now…

She doesn't avert her gaze fro so…she won't run away even froeting as she solicits of me

”…Solje… I won't run away anyhts…” (Riel)

”…Don't wanna If I did that, you wouldn't be able to see clearly” (Solje)

”N-No way…! I-It is e, don't you think?” (Riel)

”Even if you ic eye, you know? …Being the only one able to see while you can't is not fair, right?” (Solje)

”That's not what I mean…” (Riel)

”I want to praise you, tell you that you are beautiful…as you becos…” (Riel)

”Also, I want to see you reacting to ” (Solje)

”B-Be gentle, okay? I-It is my first time after all…” (Riel)

”Yeah, I will attack you in a variety of places gently beforeyou mine Is that okay with you?” (Solje)

”D-Don't ask s, idiot…! You are a real idiot…!” (Riel)

”If you are embarrassed, close your eyes… The embarrassed Riel is also cute” (Solje)

”And then, the e to the man in front of him Scared of the pain that has yet to co of fulfill a bittersweet an to sound outside the room

”…Wa?!”
