Chapter 158 - 156 Farida of the Former Mercury Territory
Jason was in the Duchy of Walujava.
Like me, he had become a baron and held territory.
He was speaking with his trusted guardian, an old butler.
"It seems they're still searching for me, eh, Jii?"
"They're a bunch of fools, Your Highness!"
Jason had risen in the world because false reports and true information were being leaked from the Lechaa Trading Company and Shilling Trading Company, which served as intelligence agencies.
'Thanks to the subordinates of His Highness Jason, the imperial capital suffered enormous damage.'
'Butler is not dead, but his territory has taken a massive hit.'
'Currently, they are searching for His Highness Jason with bloodshot eyes.'
'Thanks to the map of the palace drawn by His Highness, infiltration was possible.'
Because these reports were brought to the Duchy of Walujava, Jason found favor with the country's powerful figure, Prime Minister Shoben, and in the blink of an eye, he climbed to the rank of baron.
The Duchy of Walujava was composed of three factions.
The religious faction, which was the state religion of this country, was the largest power.
However, regardless of status, the nobility was divided into the Military Faction and the Moderate Faction, and they pointlessly repeated power struggles. The War 19 Years Ago was centered on the Military Faction.
But no one took responsibility for the defeat.
"It's the fault of those muscle-brained Military Faction fools!"
"What are you saying! You Moderate Faction bastards didn't oppose it either, hoping to get some scraps, did you?"
Because these two powers started a pointless conflict, the State Religion Faction, which had neither significant political power nor military force 19 years ago, steadily accumulated power and had become the largest faction before anyone knew it.
'For the Grand Duke! For the people!'
Shoben raised this slogan, made merchants put up money, and made farmers provide food. He gathered ruffians and incited conspiracies and revolts in various places. Using spies, he caused discord among nobles and made them fight each other.
As a result, the civil war subsided, but before anyone realized it, no one could oppose the State Religion Faction led by Shoben.
Shoben used anyone useful, regardless of their status.
(Even if they're a prince of another country or a grand duke, they just need to dance in the palm of my hand! Last time, we lost because those foolish muscle-brains pushed with brute force. I will exploit the enemy's weaknesses! Using every means available!)
The reason the leading nobles of this country lost to Shoben was not through open rebellion. It was a vicious method: using alcohol and female seduction to poison and eliminate key figures, then, in the ensuing turmoil, siccing feuding nobles on each other. He made nobles fight each other, and when they were weakened, he instigated civil wars in both territories.
In his youth, Shoben had purely believed in God.
He extended a helping hand to the poorest people of the lowest class and was even called a reincarnation of God. But it was precisely those people of the lowest class who became the first victims of wars and civil wars.
The people who believed in God and adored Shoben died one after another. After embracing the corpses of the elderly, women, and children and shedding tears of blood, Shoben became like a changed man.
He turned his own believers into martyrs and then into terrorists.
"There is no God in this world. Believe in me!"
He brainwashed and controlled his believers, turned them into assassins, and sent them to various places.
As a result, despite holding the position of Archbishop, even the Cardinals, and of course the nobility, could no longer oppose him, and he became Prime Minister.
(With this, I will also bring the Altmea Empire under my control!)
Shoben, surrounded by many completely naked women, drinking expensive alcohol as if bathing in it, and scattering money around. The trace of the young man who once shed tears of blood could no longer be found in him.
Meanwhile, as for me, I had returned to my family home after the party.
"I'd like to say it's finally time to celebrate the Boss becoming a count, but young master! Help me!"
I had suddenly received three territories.
But looking at it another way, the Former Mercury Territory and the Former Auris Territory were essentially troublesome lands pushed onto me. After all, they had fallen into ruin because the magistrates and internal affairs officers had imposed heavier taxes than the nobility and spent their time playing instead of working.
The magistrates and internal affairs officers were beheaded on the execution platform. Furthermore, the clerks and merchants who were actively involved were branded with Slave Marks and apparently sent to the mines, but...
(Come to think of it, several of their former wives and daughters had come to work at the Wizard Hotel, too.)
As I was thinking about such things in a daze, my father Butler asked me, "What do you think we should do?" The Former Mercury Territory was located northwest of Butler Territory, and the Former Auris Territory was to the northeast.
North of both lands, there was a main road running from the Territory Capital to the eastern margrave's domain. Up to that point would now become our territory.
"First, let's gather merchants along the main road and have them do business."
In the Former Mercury Territory, there was also a main road from the imperial capital to Butler Territory to the east, so we would place merchant houses there as well. To the west, we would dig a tunnel to create a road connecting to Water City Aqua.
"The mountains south of the Former Mercury Territory are beginning to desertify, so let's create jobs collecting saltpeter and silica sand! Next is the Former Auris Territory."
We would build merchant houses along the northern main road and the western main road.
To the east, we would dig a tunnel connecting to the knight-titled Blue family. That was Indigo's family home. If things went well, there might be an iron mine there!
First, I headed to the Former Mercury Territory.
(This is terrible...)
For the time being, I had called about 3,000 of our Marine Corps to the former Territory Capital for maintaining public order, and I went around repairing buildings with 'Revive.'
"Could you split up and check the situation in each village?"
I repaired the former Lord's Manor, and since there was also an underground dungeon in the basement for capturing bad guys, I reinforced it solidly.
(It looks like it's become a hunting ground for bandits!)
I was getting a little excited.
It was good that I had called the Marine Corps.
"Arrest all suspicious individuals! Use truth serum and make them confess everything!"
We surrounded each village with units of 300 soldiers and had them capture anyone trying to flee. As I used 'Hawk Eye' to observe everything so there would be no oversights, I discovered a suspicious settlement!
The fields were ruined, and an elderly couple and one young woman were living in an abandoned house. No matter how you look at it, that's too unnatural, right?
"Th-That girl is our granddaughter!"
"Th-That's right! We're just waiting for our sons to return from hunting! There's nothing strange at all!"
The elderly couple lied, not realizing I could read their thoughts. Their plan was to drug me with sleeping medicine and kill me while I slept, but you're still too naive, old man and old woman.
When I said I would wait for those sons, they served me tea.
Well, it was mostly water, but...
When I looked at the old man and old woman with suspicion, the old man said, "There's no poison in it..." and the old woman said, "That's right, that's right!"
"Oh really! Then drink it!"
When I forced the reluctant pair to drink it, five minutes later, the old man and old woman were sound asleep.
The woman laughing beside them said, "I'm not their granddaughter or anything! I was kidnapped! But the men will be back soon..." and was frightened.
The men were apparently bandits, but there seemed to be fewer than ten of them.
As we were talking, the eight who had gone looking for food and alcohol returned.
"What'd you come here for, brat?"
"Aren't you a bit young to be her husband? Her younger brother?"
"I... like cute boys too! Hehehe..."
The type I hate most approached me, so I swiftly kicked him in the crotch, and he collapsed, clutching his groin in agony and passing out.
"You bastard... what did you do to the boss!"
The other seven drew their swords and attacked me. The woman turned pale and screamed, "Eek!" but the swords passed right through me without hitting.
"Are you some kind of monster?"
Now frightened, they tried to take the woman hostage, so I kicked them in the crotch and took them down one by one.
"You're strong! Are you an adventurer? My name is Farida! Tell me your name too!"
Farida was 23 years old and apparently used to run an inn in the Territory Capital.
"I'm called Shivans. I'm 17 years old."
I'll put the eight bandits and the old couple in the jail for now.
Farida had exotic features and was quite a beauty. And since her clothes were rather revealing, that's probably why she was kidnapped...
(They probably planned for the eight of them to assault her tonight, and it seems they've made her drink an aphrodisiac or arousal drug.)
As I was thinking that, Farida spoke to me.
"Shivans, if you're an adventurer, stay at my place! There's no food or alcohol, but... I'll provide service!"
With her braless breasts pressed against me, I had no reason to refuse!
Immediately, I used Instant Movement to return to the Territory Capital, and Farida was surprised.
"Huh? The town has become clean!? Even my inn is clean inside!"
The first floor was a weapon and armor shop and a dining hall. The back seemed to be the living quarters for the couple, so I also made a bath, remodeled the toilet, and cleaned everything up.
"Wow! You're amazing, Shivans! Not only did you beat those guys earlier, but you're actually a great sorcerer!"
Since I also provided food and alcohol, she seemed to fall for me even more.
"I'll be imposing on you for a while, I think."
"Hehe. You can stay forever!"
Her husband was 12 years older than her, a hunter, and apparently often didn't come home for about a month.
She said that at her previous inn, there were no guests, and she didn't do any entertaining either.
(It seems she's not lustful because of the drug, but rather, because I'm her type, she's decided to give herself to me.)
"Do weapons and armor sell?"
"As you can see, it's deserted, right? Occasionally, an elderly person comes to get their grass-cutting sickle sharpened. I can handle that much myself. But I'm good at cooking! I'll prepare something delicious tonight!"
The town was deserted.
There were almost no young people.
(This makes me realize it's not a game. I feel like an official forced to rebuild a depopulated village...)
She wasn't just boasting about her cooking. She properly made stock, seasoned it, and it had a gentle flavor.
"Wow! It's a much gentler taste than it looks."
"Are you talking about my appearance? Certainly, from your perspective, Shivans, I might be an Auntie, but in this town, I'm one of the younger ones!"
"No, no! You're plenty young and beautiful!"
With alcohol in her, she blushed and said, "Y-You don't have to... flatter me!" but gradually began to speak her true feelings.
"My husband, you know! We married when I was 14... He was always bothered by people calling him a 'lolita bastard'... and he rarely embraces me! I'm 23 now, and my body is much better than back then, right?"
I wanted to say I don't know the 14-year-old Farida.
I reluctantly went along with the drunken rambling and whispered, "It's certainly a body one would want to embrace!" and she grinned.
"To understand my good points... you're quite a lecher!"
She talked while drinking in a good mood.
Her husband, who boasted that he liked hunting more than three meals a day, apparently often left the house empty for over a month.
(In my previous life, there was a senior who said he liked fishing more than three meals a day and his wife left him. He also said he spent money on gear and constantly fought with his wife...)
I understood that the weapons and armor weren't for selling, but rather, her husband's obsession was to show them to and discuss them with people who shared the same hobby. When I asked Farida about it, it was just as I expected.
"That's right! As soon as he comes home, he goes on and on with his friends about arrowheads and stuff! Endless talk about bows and arrows and spears!"
Apparently, they get excited about weapons and armor until late at night.
"If it were me, as soon as I got home, I'd want to embrace you, Farida."
When I gave her a heated gaze, she didn't seem entirely unwilling, and we bathed together, cleaned up, and headed to the couple's bedroom.
"Not here... let's go to the guest room..."
But Farida seemed weak to pressure, and when I said, "I want you, Farida, now!" we naturally tumbled into the bed.
"Kissing is... no good..."
She seemed to feel guilt toward her husband.
But, pierced by me many times, her large breasts groped and fondled. As she was caressed in bed and I ejaculated inside her again and again, she gradually began to moan in pleasure, and finally kissed me of her own accord. And then, she even performed fellatio, which she probably hadn't even done for her husband.
"Y-You'll... get tired of me soon anyway..."
"You said I could stay forever, right? I don't plan on leaving here for a while."
"Really?"
"I don't tell lies. I intend to stay until your husband returns."
She said a small "I'm happy" and kissed me.
(It seems her body had never even come before. She doesn't even realize she was made lewd by the drug, but if she climaxes many times, the effect is remarkable.)
She seemed to believe that our bodies had good compatibility.
The Next Morning
Looking a little more sensual and shy, she made breakfast.
"What are you doing today?"
"First, I'm thinking of digging a well. I am a great sorcerer, after all!"
She laughed, "Ahaha, you say that yourself? But there's no river, and most of the wells are dry, so that's why there are no people, right? Can something be done?" she asked, so I said, "Of course! I'll manage something and come back to eat your delicious cooking in the evening!" and she made a happy face.
"Take care! I'll prepare dinner and wait for you!"
"Yeah! I'm off, Farida!"
When I tried to pull her close and kiss her, she refused, saying, "No..."
(She probably still feels guilt. I understand the feeling of wanting to believe it was because of the alcohol yesterday. There's still plenty of time!)
When I waved to Farida with a smile, she had a relieved expression.
Going out into the town, there were several wells, but most were dry.
"What business do you have with a dried-up well?"
An old man asked me with a dubious look, so I said, "I'm Shivans. I'm just a humble adventurer, but I can use a bit of magic," and purified the dried well, cast 'Clean' on it, and released a large amount of water with water magic.
"Ooh! That's amazing, young man! Shivans, was it? I'm something like the elder of this town!"
The old man who introduced himself as Yarta showed me the other dried wells. I filled them with clean water in the same way. When I traced the water veins with water magic, I understood the cause of the drying. It was due to the desertification of the southern mountains.
I improved the water source forest with earth magic and cast spirit magic on it.
(It wasn't that severe, so this should be fine for a while.)
If I sprinkled a large amount of water with water magic and cast spirit magic, it seemed like the erosion could be prevented. With this, water should reach all the various villages!
After about One Week, changes began to appear in the towns and villages.
When I improved the roads, tilled the fields with earth magic, and grew crops with spirit magic so they could be harvested, the Marine Corps members also helped with the harvesting.
Changes had also come to Farida.
She started preparing Boxed Lunches and giving me a goodbye kiss on her own.
"H-Here! You have to eat properly and build up your energy!"
"I know! I'll embrace you plenty again tonight!"
"Y-You idiot! That's not what I meant! Be careful! Come back soon!"
It was clear she was looking forward to the night.
By the time half a month had passed, the refugees and immigrants I had invited came to the towns and villages and helped with the harvest. Since there were many women and elderly people, I had them do the work of harvesting a large amount of cotton and spinning it into thread.
So to speak, I built a spinning factory.
The children planted trees with the elderly to stop the desertification, and I created a system where they could find saltpeter and silica sand and have Butler Territory buy them.
Of course, the quick-eared Cielo came and played a role.
"Won't you sell me the spinning factory?"
"It's not on track yet, you know?"
"Because there's no way you would build it without a prospect of success!"
Incidentally, Cielo also bought the shops I had built along the main road.
Thanks to That, he contributed considerably to the development, but...
When I returned to the shop thinking of eating lunch with Farida, she was tending the shop, wearing the alluring clothes I had gifted her.
"The town has become lively, but it's still the same for us."
Since she seemed free, I had her kneel and, in a half-naked state, perform fellatio under the counter. She no longer disliked it and complied obediently. In fact, she seemed happy, but...
Then, a rare customer came.
"What's this, Shivans is tending the shop... what happened to Farida?"
The one who asked was Elder Yarta.
"Right now, Farida's hands and mouth are... occupied..."
I couldn't say that under the counter, her breasts were being groped and she was sucking my cock with slurp slurp splash splash sounds.
Apparently, he had come to request a sharpening of his grass-cutting sickle.
"Say, Shivans... lately, Farida has become strangely alluring, or rather, I feel she's become more beautiful..."
"Oh? Were you aiming for Farida, Yarta-san?"
"Y-You fool! Well, I mean, lately, the men's rumors... ahem! Never mind. Just sharpen this!"
He put down the sickle and hurriedly left.
"G-Geez! You came so much in my mouth..."
She showed me the semen in her mouth and swallowed it.
When I stood her up just like that, she covered her chest with her hands and got angry, saying, "W-What if someone came and saw!" but just by slipping my hand into her panties and teasing her a little, she became flooded and let out sweet moans.
I moved behind her, shifted her panties aside, and pressed my cock against her pussy, and she naturally stuck out her butt.
"No good♡ What if someone comes♡ At least take me to the room♡ What if someone comes because of my voice♡"
"It'll be fine if you hold back your moans."
"That's impossible♡ Hey, pull out♡"
"Even if I want to pull out, Farida, you're tightening your vagina..."
Farida got excited while thinking someone might see. Her breasts were groped, she sought kisses, and she burned passionately.
"You're a bad married woman, coming in the shop like this, aren't you?"
"But♡ it felt incredibly good♡ It can't be helped, right?"
Even when I came inside her, she no longer complained and accepted it completely.
"Are you okay with it not being your husband's child?"
"Geez♡ It's too late for that now♡ It's fine because it feels good for me too♡"
After That, I dug a tunnel to Water City Aqua, expanded the roads, and installed streetlights everywhere.
When three weeks had passed, we finished the third harvest.
In town, there was a Reputation that Farida had become beautiful and alluring.
When I asked, "Won't your husband be happy when he returns?" she got angry, saying, "Stop talking about that man when you're embracing me! Even the fellatio, I've only done it for you! I told you, right now, I'm your wife!" indicating she didn't care about other men, including her husband.
"Hey♡ More importantly♡ Even if it's just sometimes♡ Ravish me at the counter again♡ That♡ made me incredibly excited♡"
When embraced by me, she began to moan in a sweet voice and shake her hips.
"At that time♡ I was thrust deep into my vagina♡ and I truly felt I was made a woman♡ I didn't know such a sweet world existed♡ Just standing at the counter makes my nipples stand up♡ My pussy gets incredibly wet too♡ You didn't know, did you♡"
She came out with it fully.
"I'm already drowning in you♡ My period hasn't even come♡ Spreading my crotch this wide♡ Longing for you♡ A bad married woman♡ Wanting cock♡ Becoming a lewd female♡"
She whispered in my ear, "My lascivious body♡ You're the only one who knows♡."
Embraced until nearly dawn, Farida raised her voice in joy.
The Next Morning
Days of eating breakfast, receiving a Boxed Lunch, being given a passionate kiss, and being sent off. Then, One Day, the children came saying they had found a strange stone.
"Where did you find this?"
"We found it while digging in the sand!"
They said and guided me there.
It was a coal mine where coal lay dormant!
"You guys are amazing! You made a great discovery!"
I gave all the children who found it cookies and Bekkou Ame as a Gift.
I put Slave Marks on the people I had captured and had them become coal miners.
With this, 'Escape Prevention' and 'Suicide Prevention' are applied, so it should be fine. After that, I cast 'Adrenaline' and 'Dopamine' to give them Motivation.
I dug out a certain amount with earth magic, created a mine shaft, and built a dormitory outside for them to live in. I had them store the mined coal in a Magic Box-style Warehouse.
(This is quite high-quality coal!)
I used Alchemy to 'Separate' the unnecessary materials and stored it in my inventory.
In this world, it's prized as 'burning stone,' so I'll present some to His Majesty as well.
When I returned to the inn, Yarta had brought his sickle.
"Farida, aren't you dressed too lightly even though it's autumn? Is that why you seem more alluring?"
"I get hot quickly when I move around inside the building. Oh dear, are you trying to seduce a married woman?"
She giggled and said, "Shall I tell your wife on you?" and Yarta panicked.
"That's not it! It's just... everyone was saying so! Don't you dare say I was the one who said it!"
Again, he fled in a hurry.
When Yarta left and I returned, she greeted me with a lustful face, saying, "Welcome back♡." Immediately, she locked the door so no customers would come, put up thin curtains on the windows, took off her clothes, and wearing only her panties, sat on the counter and spread her crotch.
"The curtains are thin, so if someone peeks, they can see, you know?"
"Don't♡ say that...♡ It makes me incredibly excited...♡"
Her panties immediately developed a stain, showing she was wet.
"I♡ wasn't a woman who did things like this♡ until I became your wife♡ Hey♡ Please♡ Lick my pussy♡ like you always do♡"
When I took off her moisture-laden panties, she was wet.
When I used my tongue and performed cunnilingus with slurp slurp splash splash sounds, she said, "Ahh♡ What if someone sees♡" while things became incredible.
"I'm coming♡ Hey, I'll make a mess of your face, but it's okay, right♡ I feel like a lot is going to come out♡"
She squirted, convulsing violently, lifting her hips, and sprayed with a gushing sound.
"You want it already, don't you?"
She nodded repeatedly and pleaded, "Put your cock in♡."
"It aches so much♡ Knowing the pleasure of a woman that my husband can't give me♡ You turned me into a bad married woman♡"
When she got excited from me coming inside her a lot, she immediately performed Cleaning Fellatio.
"I don't do this kind of thing for my husband! Only for my man♡"
"What's the difference?"
According to Farida's definition, the husband was the one who provided for Farida and the children to be born, and the man was the one who loved Farida.
One month passed, we finished the fourth harvest, and the territory's people were experiencing a bubble period.
Farida's husband and his group, when they finished hunting and returned, found nothing but surprise.
"Is this really that town?"
In a good way, they were in a state of Rip Van Winkle-like bewilderment.
"Tch! He's already come back!"
There was Farida, who had stopped wearing light clothing.
That Night, Farida, who knew I would be leaving tomorrow, got her husband dead drunk and came to my room.
"Tonight♡ I'll get on top♡"
Because I had said I loved how lewd her swaying breasts were in the Cowgirl Position, she had recently taken to being on top completely.
Early the Next Morning
As I was leaving, Farida, still in her light clothing, kissed me lingeringly at the entrance and wouldn't let go.
"Come see me again♡ I'll have your child Next Year♡"
"We'll Come Again!"
"I won't be embraced by anyone but my man! Believe me!"
Even by her husband? As I thought that, I was informed that he was originally indifferent. And besides, if she became pregnant, he probably wouldn't even touch her, let alone embrace her.
"And besides♡ I've already♡ become a woman who can only love her man♡"
She waved to me while crying.
