Chapter 407: Animal trainer’s love theory
I leave the baron’s mansion and return to the Smithson home. The flash sword that Neia had thrown into the underground storehouse could not be left there indefinitely. I can’t leave the flash sword in the cellar forever, even in case it gets stolen.
“……Emm”
“Hmm?”
When I was about to go to the kitchen, Neia stopped and turned around, so I stopped. After Neia looked a little troubled, she looked up at me.
“That……flash sword, are you going to put it out already?”
“No, even if you ask me something like that……even though it’s an underground storage, you can’t leave it as it is, right?”
“No, I don’t mean that……a, are you finished having sex today?”
“…………”
“D, Don’t be silent!!”
“No, I’m just saying it’s very interesting”
“What!?”
No, this series of conversation with a girl who just had sex for the first time yesterday. It’s very, how can I say this, it’s a very exciting immoral mood that makes a naive girl step out of line.
“Neia……do you still want to do it?”
“……Emm”
“You can decide. I’m thinking that’s a bit much for almost the first day”
“……I, I’m still not good enough to handle Smithson-san’s sexual appetite, am I……?”
“No well, it’s true that I didn’t do whatever I wanted with all my might”
“I, I’m confident in my physical strength……if you’re holding back because of your concern”
“……No, I’m not trying to put up with it or anything like that. You know, if I don’t have sex, I’m going to run out of control or collapse”
“……?”
Somehow, she made a very confused face, saying, 「What is this person saying?」.
“I think you’re just trying to get laid and you’ve got your hands on dozens of them……?”
“No, I’ve always wanted to have sex but just because I haven’t, doesn’t mean anything will happen to me”
“……Eh”
“Eh, what is it? I hadn’t had sex until about two years ago. If I was such a sexbeast, I’d be in jail by then”
“…………Eh, I heard from the townspeople that you’ve been a naughty boy since you were a kid!”
“That’s right I was, but all I did was peeping, I didn’t have sex!”
Maybe in Neia’s mind I was a super fucker who had relations with every girl in town at the age of 10?
“E, Emm……then, is there any chance that you’ll have to settle for someone else if you can’t get enough of me?”
“No, I don’t. Even if there were, if all the female slaves in Polka were going around one by one, that would be the end of the day”
When I put it into words, I can’t help but be misunderstood as if I’m going to go berserk if I don’t have sex.
“Were you worried about that?”
“……If, If it’s not that kind of situation, you’re all very well convinced……”
“I think sex done out of necessity other than feeling is a bit tasteless”
“……I´m confused”
Well, like the cat beast colony, the 「I’m in heat and I can’t help but want to get laid」 situation can be fun if you can hit it with enough time to spare. Basically, 「I like」 and 「I want to have sex」 with each other should be without unnecessary calculations. I feel that sex with a reason that has nothing to do with feelings is frustrating, because I feel that no matter how hard I try, I can’t directly convey either affection or excitement.
“Well, on the other hand, there are some people who are trying to get something indirectly by having relations with me”
Like Tetes. And even though Savory and the other three elf girls may be desperate, it’s not entirely pure favoritism in the sense that they’re hoping for the 「Dragon’s protective litter」 umbrella that I have. ……But there is a part of me that can’t help it. Even for normal couples, 「A man who can’t make money and is unreliable」 is a no-no when it comes to marrying a wife. And if you are a female slave, it is as good as giving up your social status. If you want to break through the barriers just because you 「Like」 them without any impure reasons, you must either have no social status to begin with, or you must be so good that you don’t need to worry about such things. Selenium, Jeanne and Apple are the former and Dianne, Laila and Maia are the latter. Hilda and Aurora are kind of special. ……If I think about it, Anzeros, who has a half-hearted position and ability, but has pulled out all of them and became a female slave, might be pretty amazing. Anyway.
“But sex is all about feeling. If all you think about is the hassle, you’re going to lose it”
“……U, Umm”
“I think I’ll just settle down for the day, including thinking about that”
“Ah, eh, that”
“If you change your mind later, you can come crawling to me at night. If it’s Neia, she’ll be my first priority”
“Night crawling!?”
Even though I passively suggested that we should have more sex, Neia blushes even more when I say a night visit. She is very cute.
“Anyway, let’s get the flash sword out”
I’m going to go into the kitchen with a laugh and Neia pulls on my sleeve.
“……A, About that”
“What?”
“……I, If I go and get it myself, it’s kind of awkward because it’s like, 『I’ve already done what I’m going to do』and I feel like a cash cow, so”
“……Okay, I understand”
I don’t know whether it was bold or delicate.
“Then I’ll go get it. I’ll hold it for a while and you can come and get it at night”
“Pl, Please”
“Ah, and the voice illusion is still alive, right?”
“Yes. It will probably break by nightfall……”
“Well, I’ll stop talking then”
It’s okay to talk for a bit. The flash sword is a wise man and I actually look forward to conversing with him.
—————————————
Neia says she’s going to take a walk for a while and give it some time, so I duck into the storage room under the kitchen by myself. The flash sword had buried its thick blade in the ground near the brim with how much force it had been struck with.
“Hey Andy Smithson. Are you done now?”
“If you say things like that, Neia will get annoyed, so stop”
“What else do you want me to say? It’s not natural to talk about the weather in a place like this”
“Why the weather?”
“In all ages, the weather has always been a matter of course when it comes to casual conversation. I’m not the kind of person who is comfortable making small talk, however”
I put my hand to pull the flash sword out of the ground, which was still fluttering freely and pulled it out. ……It doesn’t move at all.
“Hunnuuuu!”
“……Oh dear. It’s like a hero selection ceremony”
“Nu, Nuuu……h, haaa……what, in the past, did you decide to be a hero because of this?”
“No, it’s not like that, but……it’s not about the 『Hero』 as a guardian knight in Kalwin, it’s about a much older type of hero. The story is about a special sword that is thrust not into the ground but into a rock or something and the one who pulls it out gets a holy blessing along with the owner’s title……well, it’s a story that’s pretty much everywhere”
“I remember hearing something like that somewhere, too……I think it was a folk tale from Celesta”
The military gathers people from all walks of life, so when they talk about their hometowns at the tavern, many of them talk about those things. I wonder who told this story.
“Well, it’s also a promise that you can’t just pull it off with a strong arm. It would be boring if the blessings of the gods of the world were concentrated on the ogres, wouldn’t it?”
“Indeed it would be”
“But……your arm strength is weak. I wonder if this is what you get when you pull with all your might”
“Y, You know what I mean?”
“Of course. ……I think you’re underestimating me a little bit”
If the sword could detect the load on me one by one, it would feel like it would be difficult, but I wonder if it’s okay.
“Kick the hilt with your foot or swing it from side to side to create a gap. ……Good grief, it would have been quicker if Neia had gone and got it herself”
“She’s a maiden. It’s hard to talk normally after a fight like that, so please understand”
“Hu. Well, that’s a good thing. ……Ah, it’s good that she shows those natural feelings. Up until now, that child has dealt with too much of a big fate
“……I think that, too”
And even as we speak, I kick the flash sword. If you lean a little bit, turn the other way and kick it. It’s like a bully scene.
“Neia has no choice but to trust blindly when she decides to take a side. If she’s told to do something, she has no choice but to follow it”
“She had no other choice but to live her life as a hero. The girl’s life is too empty to make any other decision. Please understand”
“Still, she is trying to resist her fate”
“That’s a little different. That was just trying to save an ally. She believed that what she was doing was salvation in a big way. Even though she understands that it could bring chaos to the order and ultimately harm Neia herself, Neia thinks that she is fine with it as long as it is for the good of the other side. ……Then maybes he hoped, like Faria, that she would die with something left behind”
……I see. In Neia’s mind, that wasn’t contradiction or rebellion.
“But if that’s the only way she can think, she’ll never be able to make herself happy. Even if she can find a different path along the way, even if the king is wrong, she can pretend not to see it……and as long as she has value as a hero, she will only be used and destroyed by the king who has the highest command authority”
“Yes. ……If you are going to be celebrated as a hero, it also means that the people and the king, both above and below, will block any way out and any excuse. It is a complete dead end for someone like Neia, who sincerely wants to be a hero”
“So, Neia’s way of life must be laced with impurities”
“……Hmm”
I pull once more on the flash sword, which is now much more wobbly. This time I felt a response and when I pulled with all my might, it somehow came off.
“……Huu. Neia needs to find a sense of values other than living and dying as a hero perfectly. Even if she is told to die as a hero, she should be able to think that she can’t die that easily……and that she can’t easily give up her future in front of an orderly or a cause that is higher than herself”
“……That’s exactly right. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t matter if you turn Neia into a captive of lust”
“No, that’s a little difficult”
I’m aware that I’m not that strong when it comes to technique. I am also aware that I do not always satisfy the girls. And also my slaves are all those who were easy to fall in the first place because of their position and characteristics. To make them captives of lust when they have no intention of doing so, I would have to use some kind of weird drugs or magic. It’s just common sense. ……While wiping the dirt from the flash sword with a rag, I asked him what I had been wondering about.
“Well, I wonder……Neia, why did she suddenly decide to have sex with me?”
“That’s easy. First of all, because she’s grateful to you”
“Grateful……?”
“You agreed to share the fate of being a hero, you were boldly involved in the fight against the demon and even made her armor. The healing of the battle scars all over her body was also indirectly sent by you”
“No, it was Hilda-san who……”
“The dark elf said it was for your sake and Neia understands that’s the way it’s done”
“…………”
Well, it would certainly be a blissful borrowing for Neia.
“In contrast, what Neia can give back is too little. So she’s planned to repay you with the one thing you want most, 『Her body』. ……Well, she had a little help from you”
“!?”
Is this the source of the problem!?
“That’s not all. It’s true that Neia herself was also interested in sex and even if Neia returned to her country like this, it wouldn’t make any difference whether her body was clean or not. Of course, she can’t be blamed for having sex with someone as a hobby, but it’s not like Neia is relying on that to keep the rod”
“…………”
“Besides, if she is to die a hero in the country in the near future”
The flash sword lowers its voice.
“The 『Woman’s body』, to which you are so obsessed, would not be so bad if she gave it to you as a reminder”
“……No way, did you tell Neia that?”
“Even I’m not that insensitive, indeed. But I am sure Neia thinks so. So……perhaps she was trying hard to satisfy you?”
“…………”
Bitterness mixes in my mouth. I don’t want to have sex with such a tragic memory.
“I don’t want such memories with a bad aftertaste
“If that’s the case……you’ll understand”
“Yeah”
Again. I swear I will make Neia my female slave. I will make her want to have sex with me again and I will make her want to have my babies so that she will survive. Yes, I will do as much as Neia thinks. That’s the goal.
