Chapter 474: Southern Island 1
As for those under Rabines who had not died, they would all have to be treated in the end, since leaving them untreated would have been troublesome in many ways.
Galatia insisted that it would be fine if they didn’t go that far, just put them on their ship and drive them out, but even though she sent them out herself, everyone somehow felt bad about leaving the wounded. Perhaps it was because we were soldiers. It is the military’s practice not to abandon enemy or civilian casualties once the battle is over. By behaving with fairness and impartiality, they demand the same behavior from the enemy’s army, which gives them a reason to demand fair treatment from their own people who have fallen into the hands of the enemy. It’s in the proper interest, but I don’t hate that part of the business.
———————————-
By the time we had treated most of the wounded, it was already midnight.
The number of people who occupied the island was less than 100 people and there were many people who surrendered, so the actual number was about 20 and a few people, but even so, Hilda-san and Dianne have full-fledged medical knowledge, but it takes a lot of time.
“If it had been Polka, it would have been easy”
“I don’t feel comfortable taking these people to Polka”
“I’m just saying. Dianne-chan, you are so serious”
Almeida, Tetes and Anzeros defeated most of the opponents who were defeated in one hit and the only ones who survived were those who were bounced by Maia and Sahul and those who were lucky enough to hit Naris. It was about a guy.
“Naris is sloopy. You can’t work in any army other than Renfangas like that”
“I didn’t mean to be sloopy, so I dared to refrain from doing it! I mean, both of them were killing so many people with a straight face that it sent chills down my spine!”
“Is this the sense of being an adventurer……it’s rather dangerous to be half-hearted when someone comes after you. It may not be necessary to chase someone who runs away, but you’re prepared for injury”
“I mean, Naris-chan, how could you fight in a cave wielding such a big weapon?”
“No, it’s pretty easy to use. In axe mode, you can suppress it by simply pressing it without swinging it around. It’s hard to attack because it’s heavy and deep”
“Aurora was just plain sloppy”
“It can’t be helped. It was dark and hard to do in the first place”
There were many patterns where the enemies Aurora defeated were not dead, but they were deeply wounded and Dianne was struggling. There will be a few who have been treated but will not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow. I was working with Sahul, Bauz and the surrenderers to remove the bodies. I asked Galatia what they do with the corpses and she told me that it is a Lapal pirate tradition to dump the corpses into the sea offshore and let the fish eat them. It may seem a bit cruel, but if the corpses from the sea battle are left on the ship, they will rot sooner or later and the whole ship will become contagious from there. I guess it is a serious problem in a sense. I heard that some sects put them in water barrels and bring them back to land, but I certainly doubt how much more humane it is than water burial to carry around rotting corpses of sea daredevils for whom it is doubtful they will even build a grave.
“Aside from me and old man Bauz, wouldn’t you be better off over there with the women?”
As I dragged a body on a doorboard, Sahul whispered to me.
“I don’t see how it’s going to do any good for you to mess with me now”
“Even so, it doesn’t mean there isn’t someone out there who’s willing to give you a shot”
Around us, the surrenderers were huddled in exhausted huddles or carrying out their belongings.
“But well, I don’t want the girls messing with dead bodies. I don’t want to leave all this to the losers and I don’t want them to try anything. One of us might as well lend a hand”
“……Take it easy. I don’t care if you get hurt”
“You watch your back then. That’s good enough for me”
Even as a child, a dragon’s perceptiveness and physical capabilities are not easily exploited by the whims of a few bad boys.
“Tell that to your dragon. ……Good grief, do you know what you’re talking about or not?”
Sahul fixes the corpse that almost fell off the doorboard while mumbling. The picture is gruesome, but it’s also funny.
————————————-
So, when the treatment is over, everyone except Rabines is put on the ship and set sail.
“If my father and the others were here, I’d break them all and feed them to the fish”
sniffs Galatia, but from now on, Red Whale Island will be a temporary waiting place for drug addicts. We can’t leave them on the island.
The plan is to send Sahul, Rika and Bauz to Sitar first and then have Laila, who is supposed to be in Sitar, guide them to Polka……sky guide? That’s the plan.
“The island will be defended by Maia. That said, I don’t think the armed forces will be able to get it back so easily, so tomorrow Maia can send Galatia back to Farahl and send the red whale pirates towards us”
“If the pirates return, we won’t have to worry about defending ourselves, will we?”
“That’s true. ……I’ll go with Sahul and the others. I’m going to come back after Laila and I take them to Polka, but in the meantime, can you all stay here?”
“Either way, I’ll be needed to help the patients with their narcotic symptoms☆
“Wh, What about Rika? What should I do if Rika has a strange seizure?”
“I’ll take care of that. I’ve heard about the general method from my sister”
Dianne assured him.
“Oh dear, are you on standby after the blitzkrieg?”
Naris said, stretching her back.
“Well, I’d like to give you about three or four days for the round trip. I’m going to hurry as much as I can, but it doesn’t mean that things are settled well in Sitar as well. Even in Polka there will be a lot of explaining to do”
Dianne laughed bitterly.
“The food stockpile is……well, Rabines seems to be storing it, but I’d like to replenish some while I send Galatia tomorrow, if possible. Four days is a long time”
“I don’t know much about food over here”
Almeida and Tetes had also checked the warehouse section before they knew it. As expected, there is no such part. However, Naris pointed it out with a straight face.
“……Do you have any money that can be used?”
“…………”
“……Emm, 100-man commander Dianne, do you have any?”
“I might be able to pass a standard gem, but I don’t have a large sum right now”
The cost of food, even for just a dozen of us, would be quite a lot for four days. The gold coins are not convenient to carry around thousands and tens of thousands of gold coins because they require a carriage. But of course, I had no plans to come to Lapal or make a large purchase at first, so I didn’t have such a thing. Laila might have hidden some other cashable treasures, but it would be a few days before she could join us. I felt a little stuck. Then Galatia, who had been wandering around the fort, came back.
“What are you worried about? We just need to take the money from the reserves since we defeated the damn merchant”
“……Is there such a thing? Tetes and the others should have searched inside earlier”
“Such an idiot, I was born and raised here, but did he think he could hide it?”
Galatia grinned and jerked out what she was holding in her back. The actual 「Pirate Treasure」 is a lot of gold and silver jeweled necklaces, brooches, rings, crowns and so on, which are all tangled in her hands.
“Aaa! How did you do that?”
Rabines (whose teeth had been regenerated by Hilda), who was wrapped around a pillar, spat and exclaimed.
“I’ll take it as a rent for using this island. You don’t really think you’re going to get it back by turning it against the pirates, do you?”
“Guguu……”
Galatia is elated.
“Will you share it?”
Dianne said and for some reason Galatia dropped the treasure in her hand.
“I had enough to give away. I know you guys won against the shitty merchant, so I guess you can have it all, but it’s humble of you to share it with us. I like you guys♪”
Galatia was in such a good mood that she almost started dancing. She may have been elated that we had defeated a difficult foe, but shiny things put girls in a good mood, I guess.
“……That’s what it seems”
I handed it to Anzeros and Aurora.
“It’s quite an item. If you take it to a proper merchant, you can get five thousand Trot coins with this one ring”
“The necklace looks a little broken, perhaps due to the care with which it has been handled”
“Still, it should be enough”
Under the magic light (floated by Dianne), the two ladies are calmly inspecting the goods. Neia and Luna were squatting with interest but didn’t seem to understand much, while poor Naris had a twinkle in her eyes.
“Could you give me one of these? If it’s worth that much, I might be able to reduce my debt to the knight chief”
“You said it would be pointless if you didn’t work to pay it back and you’re okay with that?”
“The spoils of our adventures are the price of our labor!”
“No, it’s just that the other party is shy and doesn’t seem to be a problem, but this is a normal robbery, right?”
“Eh, so you’re just going to give it back?”
“No, I’m not going to return it. I don’t have that kind of obligation”
“Isn’t that nice?”
“Naris-chan, let’s stop making money from the mess. Or rather, if it’s 5,000 pieces or so, it won’t even be worth a week’s salary for a Gauntlet Knight”
……Gauntlet knights earn a lot of money, after all.
“I’ll leave the negotiating to you. We’ll get out of here as soon as possible. The sooner we get the treatment, the better”
“Hey, can we use the carriage? Normally, Rika would fly on my hands, but in her condition, on the sea at night, it would be a bit pitiful”
“That would be fine. Andy, when you take Galatia home, you can ride directly”
“I understand”
“I see. So you fly with people in the carriage. ……It will be too much for the little boy to carry. I’ll carry it”
Thus, Dianne, Sahul and Bauz took off into the night sky and we were left on Red Whale Island at night.
“…………Uuuuuh”
“What are you hiding Naris?”
“I mean, somebody better explain this to me! I just found out for the first time that fire dragons are on the rise! I thought he was just a guard who switched sides!”
Naris, who appeared at the triangular fortress just after Bauz transformed into his human body, did not seem to understand the situation well. As soon as Bauz turned into a dragon, she threw out the treasure she had been tinkering with and hid behind a rock, wobbling and shaking with tears in her eyes.
———————————————-
The merchant forces and the dragons have left, leaving behind a quiet, peaceful southern island.
“I’d love to have a good night’s sleep, but I’ve moved……and the sea breeze and dust are making it a little sticky”
Aurora blurted out, stroking her red hair lightly.
“I’d love to take a dip……but I think the ocean is the only place I can go”
Anzeros sighed.
“Don’t do it. You can’t get rid of the stickiness by taking a dip in the sea. Your hair will end up stiff”
Almeida admonished her, but Galatia told her with pride.
“If you want to bathe, there are good places. I mean, sure, it’s a small island, but you didn’t think there were any rivers or ponds?”
“Eh”
Everyone was stunned. We had grown up on the continent, so we didn’t really understand what「Ocean」 or 「Island” was. We wondered if there could be a river on this island, which from the sky is no bigger than a small village, but it seemed that there was.
—————————————–
“There is a pond at the top of the island. It’s called 『Whale’s Nose Pond』 and we get our drinking water directly from there. It’s a pain in the ass, but sometimes it’s the job of the lower level workers to bring water to the pond. And the water that comes out of there becomes this river……”
Galatia led us through the darkness to a small waterfall.
“We bathe here……n, but you know”
And now she realizes that I’m among those who followed.
“……You later”
“Eh. I’ve already seen utterly stark naked”
“Ah, that scary dark elf told me that she wouldn’t take me if I didn’t do it, so I just took it off! Actually, I’ve never shown it to anyone other than my father!”
Garururu, Galatia yelled. That said, it’s also heartwarming to see the side of her being frightened by dragons and ecstatic about jewelry.
“Well well. It must be lonely to be left behind alone”
Tetes then begins to take off her clothes with a smile.
“Well, if you’re embarrassed to show your skin, I can’t force you to do it anymore. But we’ll wash Andy first”
Almeida also quickly took off her jacket, her tight back shining white in the moonlight. Following that, Anzeros, Aurora, Luna, Maia and Hilda also took off their clothes and while Galatia was opening and closing her mouth, a dense forest of female bodies was formed around me.
“Yes yes, I’ll wash your back, too, Andy-kun☆”
“Let me wash your back♪”
“The water is cold, are you okay?”
I was quickly undressed by the three seniors. Meanwhile, Naris and Neia, who had been slightly worried, began to take off their clothes after a while, communicating with each other with eye contact like, 「I guess it can’t be helped」 and 「Yes」. In no time at all, Galatia was the only one wearing clothes by the waterfall.
“…………Ah, umm?”
“What is it?”
“That……is it embarrassing……on the mainland, you don’t feel like having a man look at your breasts and buttocks……don’t you?”
“Of course there is, but this man is our master♪”
Tetes says happily while sticking her white nude body to me.
“Master……? What are you, a slave or something? Like the one Rabines sold……”
“I’m a female slave, but I wasn’t sold or bought. Well, how can I say it……you have been completely disobedient to the penis?”
This man is an outrageous womanizer who trains over 20 women to get naked and open their legs at any time. Well……he can still make you like him enough to want to obey him”
Following Tetes, Almeida snuggles up to me. I was a little embarrassed, but it was cute that she showed her fondness, so I hugged Almeida’s shoulder and gave her a sweet kiss. Almeida looked a little surprised, then surrendered her lips without saying anything.
“E, Eh……? Wh, What? What kind of……emm, military, was it?”
“Well, most of them are soldiers. Technically, me and Aurora, then Luna and Dianne-san are the Celesta Army, those three are from the Renfangas Army and Maia is Andy’s personal servant, Hilda-san was enlisted in the army while following Andy and Neia was not a soldier but a hero”
“……Eh? Emm……?
“So, everyone is Andy’s hand. Everyone loves Andy……we are all in the same bed every night and are loved by Andy”
Anzeros explained. Meanwhile, Hilda slimes her backside with her tits, fingers Aurora’s vagina to make her moan and sticks her finger in Maia’s ass to make Tetes say it’s not fair.
“Umm……w, why don’t you take a bath. Don’t bother starting the naughty stuff here……”
Neia asks to intervene, but when I hug her and kiss her, she becomes puffed up and suddenly separates herself.
“You guys aren’t in the mating period of the cat beasts! Undress! Immediately! Orgy! Let’s not start following our instincts! You need to do something about your sticky body and hair first!”
“Will Naris be able to help me out later?”
“That’s……that’s not what I’m talking about right now!”
“Ah, Naris-chan, I’m at a loss right now. You didn’t say 『No!』. Please enjoy sex with the three gauntlet knights♪”
“Don’t reserve the erotic situation without my permission!?”
“Oh, how about a black-and-white combination of Sensei and Aurora☆?”
“……I, who should I partner with?”
“Luna. Let’s be loved by Andy-sama together”
The beautiful women who are grooming themselves while actively intertwining their naked bodies with mine in turn, moonlight and small waterfall. And Galatia, frozen in place, looking at something unbelievable. Tetes sneaks up on Galatia, and with a kyah-hoo she pushes her down into the water.
“Ga, Gaboboo……nyaaaa!! Huuu!! What are you doing!!”
“Master will not touch a girl unless she gives him a very clear sign that she’s okay with it, so don’t worry, you too can bathe in the water”
“Uh, tha……no, why do I have to be in the mix!”
“Hmm, look, Master, even if you don’t have to do it, he’s a person who’s happy when a girl is naked, right?”
“Ah……don’t drag me into this!?”
