Conflict 5
It was time for us to gather some information. Mercedes-chan was still annoyed that she had been forced to stop her attack on her prisoner.
We used some stumps in the clearing as stools and began to talk.
By the way, her prey, the blonde robed girl, is still restrained by the vines nearby. The image of her writhing body under the sunlight is still burned into my mind. I really want to rape her.
“So, we were sent here as part of a rescue operation.”
“I-I see. I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble.”
“Do you understand then?”
“you don’t have to say it.”
“If so, I’d like for you to cooperate with us.”
I don’t want to stay another second in this insect heaven.
I’d like to leave here as soon as possible and soak in a nice hot bath.
“Sorry for being so sudden with this, but please come back to Tricklis with us.”
“but I-I have an important mission to defend this area!”
“We have to bring this prisoner back with us to Tricklis, and once we’re there, this prisoner will need to go through a thorough interrogation process.”
“I understand. I’ll come with.”
I’ve really learned how to better control Mercedes-chan.
When I tell her what she wants to hear, she’ll immediately acquiesce.
I got up and walked over to the tied up prisoner.
In response, her body shivered slightly. If I look closer, it looks like there are several insects crawling out of what little clothing she has left. One of these insects was a large black centipede with yellow spots.
It’s close to 30 centimetres. It’s probably as wide as a liquor bottle.
Its countless feet are unsettling.
“Are you awake?”
“.”
Should I ask her where she’s from?
No, I should probably be careful what I ask her.
The lesbian knight was getting excited just watching the girl writhing on the ground.
The girl on the ground continued showing an excited expression and twitching back and forth.
I’ll be sure to save this image to the CG gallery in my mind.
“Oi, is this woman really the imperial knight?”
“Eh? Well, yeah.”
There’s no doubt that she’s a knight, I learned that much from the noble mage, but was she an imperial knight before? Did she get promoted after we defeated the dragon? I can’t know for sure, but it seems more than likely.
“By the way, Mercedes-san, there’s something I wanted to ask you.”
“What?”
The lesbian knight responded while still occasionally glancing over at the tied up girl.
She’s just a lesbian that wants to have sex. Well, I feel the same way.
“What happened to the rest of the soldiers in your unit?”
“Oh, those that didn’t manage to escape were all killed by the enemy.”
“I see. So it was like that.”
I asked her but I’m not sure I believe that’s entirely the truth.
I’m guessing Mercedes-chan was separated from the rest of her unit. When her unit began to collapse, I bet she was the only one that acted differently. She spotted this pretty blonde girl and isolated her from the rest of her allies, hoping to have her way with her victim. At least that’s what she’d do if she’s like me.
So there’s no doubt.
“The rest of the army needs all the help it can get, so let’s hurry back to the city.”
“I think you’d be more than enough help on your own.”
“I’m just one soldier now; the same as any on the battlefield.”
“I understand. I’m still reluctant but it can’t be helped.”
After we return to town, I don’t know where she’ll be sent.
She could return to the battlefield with the shame of losing her entire unit weighing on her.
Personally, I would like to see Mercedes-chan be gang-raped.
With her reluctant acceptance, I thought everything had finally been settled.
“Oi.”
The Dark Elf suddenly spoke up.
Her face stiffened and she got low on the ground. She looked like she was straining herself, trying to hear something.
“What is it?”
“The enemy. We’re surrounded.”
“.”
It’s not surprising considering we’re so close to the frontlines, but why did it have to happen?
I wonder how many there are.
“can we escape?”
“I don’t know, but I don’t plan on dying in a place like this.”
“Alright. We need to work together so we can get out of this.”
“Obviously. Oi, knight, that means you as well.”
The Dark Elf appealed to Mercedes-chan.
“Of course! I have the important task of interrogating the prisoner once we return to the castle! It would be horrible if I died before that could happen.The future of this country is hanging on my shoulders!”
This Mercedes-chan is really fired up.
The noble mage is nowhere to be seen and she’s captured a beautiful girl.
It’s only natural that she’d be like this.
“Come one!”
The Dark Elf barked this out into the silent woods.
As if in response to this, magic came flying at us from somewhere within the surrounding trees.
Several icicles came flying towards us.
I could try flying into the sky, but these two would be left behind to try to defend against this guerilla warfare. I don’t think they’re used to this type of fighting so I’m worried they wouldn’t be able to last. However, as I was trying to come up with a plan, icicles came flying at me from both the left and the right.
This is dangerous.
I made sure to get my recovery magic ready.
But, it wasn’t necessary. With a loud shrill sound, the icicles were cut to pieces by both Mercedes-chan and the Dark Elf, but the enemy’s attack didn’t stop there.
Dozens of icicles emerged from the woods at high speed, but the Dark Elf and Mercedes-chan sliced through each of them once they were in range.
Are these two professional chefs? They’re so cool.
“As expected of you two.”
Incidentally, because these two have to guard my left and my right, I’ve become sandwiched between both of them. Their reflexes are insane, but that’s not the only thing I can admire from this angle. Being caught in this position is amazing for a virgin like me.
