Chapter 498: A moment before departure 1
Next day.
“……Headache”
“Drink water. I’m glad I’m in Polka. I’d have been dizzy for half a day if I hadn’t taken any precautions”
“……Why does my head hurt so much?”
“You’ve a hangover. You don’t remember anything at all, do you?”
“A, Ah……I see, Naris and Savory made me drink a lot of alcohol……”
“It’s easy to drink cocktails recklessly because your senses don’t match the strength of the alcohol.Yesterday’s disgrace at the bar was seen by many people, so be prepared”
“Eh!? ……I, Itata”
I poured the freshly drawn spring water from the morning into a ceramic cup and handed it to Anzeros, who was holding her head and hunched over. Anzeros took it with both hands and gulped it down.
“……Speaking of which, did I have sex with Andy yesterday? I don’t remember at all”
Looking around the room, Anzeros looked at me curiously. It was natural to wonder, since she was on my oversized bed in her underwear.
“I’m sure that would have been a nice way to end the conversation……but after we came back, you started lecturing me about things that I didn’t understand and suddenly started crying. I was so tired that I just sat there and stayed with you until you went to bed”
“U, Uwaa……me?”
Anzeros made an indescribable face while worrying about her long, slightly curly hair.
“So I didn’t do anything erotic”
“……You could have done that”
“Well, just to reiterate, I’m not some starving wolf who’s always looking for sex, okay? I just happen to have a lot of girls who are willing to have sex with me and I’m able to do it a lot as a result of my body modifications, okay?”
I grab Anzeros by the shoulders and politely correct her perception of me as an old female slave. Anzeros looked up at me with a sly grin and then said in a small voice.
“I wanted you to do it”
“……What?”
“The fact that I am going to be used as a tool for sexual gratification by Andy without being aware of it is a bit of a burning sensation, isn’t it?”
“You……You’re getting more and more perverted”
“I can’t help it, I’m a female slave”
“……Good grief. I’m going to do it next time. Well, if I’m going to do it anyway, I’d like to do it with Anzeros who’s awake. It’s empty to be ignored when I’m hustling alone”
“Y, Yes……that’s true too……I wonder what I should do”
“Don’t worry about unnecessary things, just get dressed”
Once again, I was deeply moved by the fact that Anzeros has grown into a pervert who cannot be let out. Well, I have no intention of releasing her.
———————————-
And just as Anzeros was getting dressed, the gauntlet group and Aurora (who was apparently in her room) arrived in droves.
“Master♪ Why don’t we do the morning ritual?”
“Hey Tetes-chan, don’t put your hand on your underwear before you hear the answer! You are not going to take off your underwear before I answer you! Did you not hear what I said to you the day before yesterday!?”
Naris quickly chided Tetes and Sharon, saving them a lot of trouble.
“Look at Aurora! Isn’t she gorgeous from the morning!? It’s not just a woman’s way to charm you with a flicker of eroticism! Right!?”
As I said, in contrast to the two of them who were suddenly showing me the route to eroticism, Aurora was groomed to shine and was facing me with a neat and tidy posture. I hesitate……to defile this suddenly, but on the other hand, I also feel tempted to do so. The gap between the noble atmosphere and the fact that she is a slave in bed, is different from the female slaves who just crowd around me and push me down and once again stands out as her unique charm.
“I fell in love again”
“Right? You see, 10-man captain Smithson has also said this! You’re attacking in the wrong way after all!”
“Muu……but I’m a bastard……and I’m not of noble birth. I don’t get the same vibe as Aurora”
“When I remember my life in my hometown, where I was called a princess, it was inevitable that I would have ten caretakers……”
“Don’t be like a child! Men basically want to jump at women, not to be chased around! You need to take that into consideration and learn how to wait and ask a woman out!”
“Naris. Interesting story……”
Almeida, who was standing behind Tetes and the others, tapped the floor with her iron cane.
“It could be done on the way to and from”
“Ah……right. That’s right. I mean, why are you relaxing? 10-man captain Smithson and Anzeros-san too! Laila-san and the others are already back!”
“Ah……I see, thats right”
“Uh……I still have a bit of a headache, so Naris’s voice echoes”
Anzeros, looking unusually weak, takes another sip of the miraculous spring water. I gestured to everyone other than Anzeros to 「Stay ahead」 and once again checked the luggage I had left next to the bed. A change of clothes, daily necessities, light tools and emergency rations. The emergency rations include dried meat and hard bread (so hard you have to shave it with a knife), which are standard in the Celesta army, spice powder for seasoning (just rubbing in grass or animal meat makes it taste good) and several kinds of pills prepared by Hilda. All in all, we calculated that we could live comfortably for up to two weeks without supplementation. Of course, I will have to carry water separately. From now on, we will move to a new place to live and then we will go exploring. This is a place that has been unexplored for hundreds of years. Anything could happen. Even dragons may become unable to fly. I heard that dragons can live for years even if they fast, but that’s not the case with me.
“Are you already prepared for that?”
“What the hell, we’re going exploring”
“As expected, I think we’ll at least have food at the fort……”
I thought that’s what Anzeros pointed out. Since I won’t be exploring alone, it’s Dianne-san’s job to make sure everyone can eat normally, even if they don’t have to prepare it themselves. Even if you carry it with you, you will probably distribute the necessary amount in advance.
“But with me, you never know what might happen”
“You say that yourself……”
Anzeros looks at me with disgust at my excuses. The actual fact is, if you admit that it’s true, you’ll lose the position of all of your guards.
“I’m not going to let Andy get himself into any more unnecessary trouble. We won’t allow it”
“Muu”
I can’t argue with Anzeros, who says it so decisively. I’m not going to be in a pinch if I don’t want to be, but you know what?
———————–
When I went to the front of the baron’s mansion with Anzeros, Aurora and the gauntlet knights, Laila and Maia had indeed returned.
‘Ho. Hilda got healed as planned?”
“Sahul and Bauz, are they doing anything strange?”
As soon as they saw each other, they turned their concerns to each other. It was interesting to see Laila’s motherly and Maia’s paternal concern for us.
“If it’s Sahul, he’ll be fine. Hilda had her eyesight back as of yesterday”
“What about Bauz?”
“He’s only been in the barrier prison with his rider”
“I hope he doesn’t do anything strange……”
Maia seems to think she is in a position to supervise them. Or maybe it’s her pride as the 「Guardian of Polka」, looking out from the roof of the baron’s mansion. Broll-san landed from the sky next to Maia.
“Don’t worry, Maia. You just concentrate on doing your job”
“Great uncle”
“Umm. The silver man has told me most of the story. I’ll be in charge of keeping order in the town”
Broll-san will take care of it.
“Please, sir. And please put your cock away”
“Oo”
Broll-san seemed to notice my words for the first time and pulled a piece of cloth out of nowhere and put it over his body. When he jumped down, he was completely naked. But, as expected, no one made a fuss about it. In the meantime, Dianne, Hilda, Neia and Luna arrived from the town. Apple came out from the mansion and finally the members of the group were all here.
“Now, we are going to challenge the search for Kalwin with these members. Our immediate goals are to investigate the actual situation in the demon territory, secure a safe zone and locate Kalwin. We plan to report the location of the Kalwin Kingdom by summer, although opening trade routes will be a long time in the future”
Dianne confirms the mission in front of the group.
“Depending on the progress of our contact with the kingdom, we may not be able to return for several months or more. Is there anything left to be done in Polka? I want you to finish your last meal, bath and greetings to your acquaintances by noon”
『Understood』
I had thought we would be leaving soon, but Dianne had said yesterday that we would leave at noon. It was still morning, before the four bells had rung, so I had about four hours to spare. It seems like it’s an emergency ration, but maybe I’m getting too excited.
“Ho, let’s play with Jeanne for the first time in a while”
“……I’ll be with Andy-sama”
“There’s nothing left to do”
“Andy. I’d like to see Peter, if that’s alright”
“I’d like to eat a lot of Lindon’s steamed bun one last time, but……it’s so early”
“Neia. I’ll go with you. And since it’s only a day away, you can take it as a souvenir to 10-man captain Keiron”
“When you say it’s your last time……you feel like taking another bath, don’t you? How do you feel, Tetes-chan?”
“Umm……if it’s with Master♪”
“You still don’t understand what I’ve said!”
“But Naris. We are female slaves, right?”
“You can pretend to be something you’re not, but if you stick to it, you’ll never be what you really are”
“I know that it is my duty to bring you back to your senses on this expedition. I mean, it’s still morning, so let’s distance ourselves from our sexual desires! Normally, even if we give up on things like that, we’ll do it at night”
“Andy-kun. Let’s play something☆”
“Ah, you know, Hilda-san, that’s fine, but I’m flying a dragon for the first time in a while……I wanted to ask for some medicine that won’t make me feel sick……”
But well, it didn’t seem like I was going to be bored for four hours.
