Chapter 181 - 179 Naming Maiko
Last night, both the men of the Shinobi and the women of the Kunoichi were able to doze off a little due to their fatigue.
However, both teams were made to see dreams they hesitated to speak of.
Lewd Dream
That’s right.
Wishes and desires created by their own lewd selves.
Because of this dream, the men of the Shinobi couldn’t get their erections to subside, and even when walking, they felt dizzy.
The women of the Kunoichi also, because of this dream, their crotches and bodies ached, and it didn’t stop with just masturbation; every day they soaked their underwear completely, and even when walking, it made a squelching sound.
And that wasn’t the only reason their steps were heavy.
The men of the Shinobi made their move on the first day. But they lost the End Woman and three shadows.
Earlier, they had been clearly shown what should be called the “Power of God” and lost any means to counter it.
He’s not an opponent we can beat...
The five of them were in awe of me.
The women of the Kunoichi were in a more serious state.
They bowed their heads to that damn old man, exchanged a kiss of death as if saying goodbye, made him drink poison, and threw in a large number of poisonous insects, thinking everyone had died. But he was alive. And then, that damn old man who made the move was found as a gruesome corpse.
He won’t die even from poison! Who would believe me if I said something like that? This is no longer the work of a human...
Anne looked like she was about to cry.
The poison user, said to be the best in the village, was perfectly fine even after the poison they made him drink. At worst, if they could die together in a suicide bombing, that would be one thing, but he was an opponent poison didn’t work on. Would he die from a sword or a needle? If he really was a god, wouldn’t he not die?
The other four besides Anne felt the same way.
Only the ten of them had heavy steps from the morning; everyone else was energetic.
Around noon, they took a break at a pseudo-rest area.
Nadja was, as usual, energetically browsing the stalls.
“Hey hey, is Lord Shivans a god?”
“Where’d you get that, Nadja? He’s obviously just a normal human!”
“Oh, I see! That’s a relief!”
Everyone watched that scene with smiles.
When one of the adventurers said, “If everyone were like Nadja, the world would be peaceful,” another said, “I think so too. But who really is Lord Shivans?” but no one could answer.
That evening.
They finally entered the Bismarck territory.
The journey is still long, but both the Shinobi and Kunoichi have faces like the dead. Since I showed them something interesting, let’s have their respective shadow units work hard.
The shadows of the Shinobi, when they realized it, found most of the people in the Koka Tribe Village.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
“Arriving this quickly...”
As everyone stood dumbfounded, O-kashira said, “Hurry up! We’re going to eliminate those senile old bastards!” and his subordinates replied, “Yes, sir!” and headed towards the leader’s mansion.
Soon, the leader and elders, called “Jonin,” and the middle-aged people, called “Chunin,” were gathered in a secret room.
Upon receiving the report from the shadow unit, the leader and elders laughed it off.
“You come all the way back just to spout such nonsense? Say your sleep-talking in bed!”
When the leader said this in an angry tone, the elders also sneered.
But seeing those leaders, O-kashira muttered, “Idiots...”
“This village is on the verge of ruin!”
“What are you saying, O-kashira! Don’t be ridiculous!”
“You old people are already senile! At the very least, the previous leader wouldn’t have let things come to this.”
O-kashira, leading the shadow unit, sharply criticized the leader and elders. Normally, it would be an immediate beheading, but the killing intent from the shadow unit was so intense that everyone was overwhelmed.
“The previous leader traveled not only within the village but also to other countries on his own feet, broadening his horizons and bringing in work. But you’ve done nothing! You’ve holed up in the village, swallowing convenient stories whole. You cut down elders who gave remonstrations and only gathered elders who would agree with you. This is the result of that!”
The mid-ranking executives nodded.
“O-kashira. Your father was also an elder, wasn’t he? Are you resentful about him being purged?”
When one elder said this condescendingly, O-kashira roared, “Are there only idiots here? It’s because you’re only concerned with things like that that the proud Koka Tribe is heading for ruin! You don’t even try to see reality, just swallowing convenient stories whole. You great idiots!” and the elders cowered.
“And besides, why would the great Duchy of Walujava come all the way to a remote tribe like the Koka to propose assassinating Shivans? No one questioned it, and you’re being deceived by immediate money and sweet words, which is why you’re heading for ruin! The previous leader would never have accepted such a foolish request!”
When put that way, everyone began to think it was true. Since becoming the current leader, he hadn’t taken a single step outside. He had no confidence in his own abilities and had holed up in the mansion since becoming leader.
“Listen up! Even in the underworld of the Altmea Empire, assassinating Shivans is taboo, and no one would accept it even with a one hundred million advance payment. It’s probably the same in the Duchy of Walujava. They kept sending in skilled operatives one after another, but they were all defeated in return, and the price kept going up. You senile old fools who don’t even know that are saying you’ll destroy this village!”
The Koka Tribe had been popular until the previous generation.
The fact that no one visited anymore recently spoke of their decline.
“Call off Alpha and the others right now! They’ll fail anyway. And it won’t end with just failure! If the man that even the shadow corps of great nations fear comes here, this village will be trampled! Do you still not understand, you foolish old men!”
At this rate, the Koka Tribe’s fate would be sealed. Even if they survived, they would be scattered, and everyone understood that.
One elder stepped forward and said, “Send the cancellation bird. And we will retire. Indeed, compared to the previous generation, we are still far from his level. You are right. From now on, we’ll leave things to the young ones. Is that acceptable, Leader?” and the leader nodded with a bitter face.
Then, he turned to O-kashira and asked a question.
“Is that young man, Shivans, really that formidable?”
“He can send us to this village in an instant. If he wanted to destroy us, we would have been destroyed long ago.”
The elder who laughed, saying he understood, then spoke about the End Woman.
“It was a little while ago. The End Woman’s mother and son, the two who were watching them, and the End Woman’s house were all erased. Like a divine disappearance. Thinking about it now, that might have been a warning to us...”
Hearing this story, O-kashira couldn’t stop trembling.
“We used that End Woman to attempt the assassination...”
“So that’s how it was... Does Lord Shivans resent us?”
O-kashira shook his head, saying he didn’t know.
“I’m sorry, but please go back once more! Do whatever you can before our fate runs out! Please, O-kashira!”
When even the elders pleaded, O-kashira said, “Of course! I will protect this village even at the cost of my life! We must return immediately. Everyone, let’s go!” and called out to his subordinates, heading south to reunite with Alpha and the others.
Meanwhile, at the Iga Tribe, Obaaba-sama and the Baba-samas were in a frenzy of shock and anger after the shadow unit returned and reported.
“Jiji-sama committed every conceivable atrocity and received divine punishment, dying a gruesome death. But it was Angel-sama’s divine work that sent Jiji-sama to heaven and brought us here in an instant. Lord Shivans is undoubtedly an angel of the heavenly army! Obaaba-sama... We have taken up arms against the heavenly army. What should we do?”
“Those heretics of Walujava! They knew I was a descendant of a celestial maiden and used me! Listen! We must somehow convey to Angel-sama that we have no intention of defying him! Come to think of it, when the celestial maiden appeared in my dream and shouted ‘Fool!’ it was a prophetic dream. I was a fool...”
When Obaaba-sama burst into tears, one of the Baba-samas comforted her.
“Obaaba-sama. If Angel-sama has descended in human form, then it is our duty as celestial maidens to console him. Though Anne and the others are inexperienced, they know the arts of women! Normally, using such skilled tactics and negotiations should not be done towards Angel-sama, but I humbly think that perhaps the five of them can calm Angel-sama’s anger.”
“Indeed! Use whatever means necessary! It would be even better if they were to conceive Angel-sama’s child! Order the five of them immediately! And also, mobilize the full strength of the Iga Tribe and dispose of Walujava’s dogs! Listen! Kill all those disguised as traveling merchants lurking around this village! I’ll make them regret the sin of mocking me!”
The fact that they seriously and earnestly believed in angels and celestial maidens was typical of the frontier. Here too, a bird was sent to Anne’s shadow unit, informing them that the assassination of me was called off.
I returned to the White Castle and met with the End Woman.
The woman waiting in my room was overflowing with sex appeal.
Is it because she’s been trained every day with a vibrator slime inserted?
When she saw me, she jumped at me, saying, “Welcome home!”
I sat on the sofa, and she poured me a drink.
We sat facing each other, toasted, and decided to talk.
“Harrier’s having trouble too, so let’s give you a name. How about Maiko?”
“A name for me! I’ll treasure it!”
I wanted to call her a convenient pssy, but that would cause problems, so I changed the middle character.
While drinking, Maiko suddenly started saying strange things.
“Is Lord Shivans the one who’s changed? Or is it me who’s strange?”
“What’s this all of a sudden?”
“Well... Since coming here, I’ve had a lot to think about...”
She said she’d heard stories of kunoichi failing assassinations and being raped and killed by men, but “I’ve never heard of someone believing what a woman like me says, and even saving her mother and child!” and she laughed heartily.
“I wasn’t lying, was I? That’s what happened.”
“That’s true, but for me, who grew up with it being normal for lowly women to be treated like they don’t matter, it was very fresh!”
She seemed to get excited imagining the scenario of being raped in front of her husband and children.
“Originally, I wouldn’t feel anything even if I was stripped and raped in front of my husband and children. My husband is the same. I’m sure he wouldn’t think anything of it if it was an order or a mission. So maybe that’s why I never had an orgasm before.”
A life where it was normal to eliminate feelings like like or dislike and carry out orders and missions mechanically, like a machine.
“Inside me, Maiko has feelings, is being made into a pervert by her master, is being made into a woman, and is rejoicing! When my master asks, ‘Which is better? What do you want to do?’ I think about it. But originally, the End Woman me didn’t think about anything, just waited for orders, and carried out missions without question.”
She said this with a sad face, so when I said, “While you’re here, isn’t it okay to be Maiko?” she beamed.
“Can I stay forever?”
“I can’t say forever, though.”
“I know that! You don’t think I’m stupid, do you?”
She made a sulky face, so I hurriedly waved my hand.
“It’s fine, though. You know, I realized something. Since coming here, I talk a lot, and I’ve started laughing more. Until a little while ago, I didn’t say anything unnecessary. That was normal in the village. My mission was accomplished when I was ordered by the elders, became one with my husband, and bore a child. I’ve changed a lot here! The Maiko me and the End Woman me are both me. I don’t really understand it now, but my vow is a true feeling, without lies or deception.”
I pulled Maiko close, hugged her, and kissed her.
When I groped her chest over her clothes, she said, “Let’s go to bed!” and pulled me by the hand.
I undressed, and Maiko showed me her underwear.
“How is it? I bought it downstairs today!”
“But your panties aren’t doing their job. They’re already this wet, and it’s dripping down to your thighs?”
When I touched her thong panties, they were slippery.
“Yahn... Well...”
The vibrator slime was probably acting up.
Her butt was pretty, so when I lightly spanked it, she seemed to enjoy it.
“Yahn! I want it already... Let me suck this!”
“This isn’t ‘this,’ is it?”
“My master’s dck ♡”
She slurped and sucked on it.
“You said it wouldn’t fit in your mouth, but you can suck it now, huh?”
“I’ve been training to open my mouth wide every day! And also! Harrier-san bought me a swimsuit, and I’ve been swimming! I’m training my body too!”
She seemed to be having fun.
Today, she wanted to be on top in the cowgirl position.
She covered me, kissed me, and had her breasts sucked, saying, “I’m getting excited!” so I patted her butt and said, “If you don’t move your hips more, there’s no creampie, okay?” and she shook violently, squirting from her pssy with a splash.
“Hit me! I get excited when my butt is hit! I like being made into a pervert! Creampies feel good! I want to get pregnant with my master’s child! Hey? Does my vagina feel good?”
“Of course! Because I like Maiko!”
For a moment, she twitched, then her movements stopped, and she even squirted pee with a whoosh.
She had a happy pee, huh...
My dck slipped out, but she immediately used her hand to insert it again, and while sticking out her tongue, she moved violently, devouring my mouth as if violating it.
“I... haven’t said it, but I’ve come so many times... I feel like I’m going crazy... I never had feelings before...”
She shook her hips while sobbing.
“Ah... Aaah... Ahn... Aaaaaah!”
She squirted a huge amount of fluid, and it slipped out again, but the way she immediately put her hand to it and inserted it was endearing.
The next morning
“You said it first!”
“What are you talking about?”
It seemed to be about me saying I liked her.
For Maiko, who had lived without emotions as a kunoichi, a confession must have been fresh. What is it... It feels like she’s regressed to middle school age?
Is she experiencing her first love after having such a physical relationship? For Maiko, it must be a bittersweet feeling.
“I think I’ll never forget today. The day I lost my virginity, I only remember the pain, but I learned that loving someone is an amazing thing.”
Saying that, she hugged me, kissed me, and said, “I love you too!” before turning bright red and lowering her face.
“You’re so cute, let’s do it one more time!”
“I’m happy to be called cute, but why my butt? If you’re going to put it in, it should be the front! No... I even come from my butt...”
Still, she smiled and hugged me.
After holding her plenty, she saw me off in high spirits, saying, “Have a good day!”
I returned to the inn and was about to have breakfast when I discovered a hungry girl complaining, “This isn’t nearly enough!”
When I brought out a large amount of bread, Nadja ate it with both hands.
“Bread isn’t going to run away, so calm down!”
“It might run away!”
She choked, drawing laughter from those around her.
In stark contrast were the men of the Shinobi and the women of the Kunoichi.
They’ve got faces like it’s the end of the world.
The men of the Shinobi, with their d*cks still hard, had an air of giving up on assassinating me, and the women of the Kunoichi were in a state where they were using sanitary napkins to stem the flow of their love juices, and even walking seemed difficult.
“You have to eat properly! Walking is tough too, right?”
The two teams looked like they wanted to say they knew that without being told, but nodding was all they could manage.
Breakfast ended, and it was time to depart.
“Our destination is the territory capital of the Bismarck territory. We plan to stay for a few days. Those without money can earn some on-site!”
It was once the second largest city in this country.
Now, our Sea Capital might have a larger population, but it’s the home ground of the Klaus family, so I’m looking forward to it.
I heard the second son is acting as the lord’s substitute. Well, I probably won’t meet him.
Depending on the situation, I thought I might do some business or something, and I was excited.
Around noon, when they arrived at the pseudo-rest area, good news was brought to the Shinobi and Kunoichi.
Alpha was surprised and pressed the remaining shadow unit, asking, “What the hell happened?” but got vague answers.
“We don’t know the details yet, but I think we’ll know when O-kashira returns. However, it was written to continue monitoring Lord Shivans’ movements.”
Then Gamma pressed, “How are we supposed to monitor him? He’s not an opponent we can do anything about, is he?” but everyone was troubled.
“Isn’t it fine, Gamma! Honestly, I’m relieved. You saw it, right? He’s on a completely different level from us? Besides, I don’t want to turn my blade against Lord Shivans...”
Everyone nodded at Delta’s words.
Meanwhile, at the Kunoichi side, Anne and the others, upon hearing the report from the shadow unit, also breathed a sigh of relief.
“B-but, if he finds out that that damn old man was from our Iga Tribe... Won’t Lord Shivans forgive us?”
Cinq asked fearfully.
“Regarding that, an alternative order has come from Obaaba-sama to the five of you: ‘Calm Angel-sama’s anger.’ To put it bluntly, I think it means to let him sleep with you...”
Anne, who received the report from one of the shadows, asked uneasily.
“And... will that work?”
“Oh? I’m fine with it! It would be a boast to bear the child of a god!”
When Due said that, Trois said with a sigh, “You’re so carefree. Well, if you ask if there’s any other way, there certainly isn’t...”
“We haven’t seen him fight yet, but how strong is he really?”
At Cato’s words, no one could answer since they hadn’t seen it.
However, the fact that the assassination order had been cancelled, even though they had been hostile, was a weight off everyone’s shoulders. Honestly, they were relieved.
The lunch break ended, and they departed.
After walking for about an hour, Hawk discovered something.
A village is being attacked by orcs.
I hurried to see Wesson, who was at the front.
“A village about 1 km north of here is being attacked by monsters.”
“Is that true!?”
“Yes. Everyone, please be on guard! I’m heading to the village. So, please go on ahead. I’ll catch up later!”
When I tried to dash off, Nadja said, “It’s dangerous for Lord Shivans to go alone! I’ll go too!” and chased after me.
“It’s fine, Nadja. It’s only about a hundred orcs!”
When I started running quickly, Anne said, “Nadja! I’m going too!”
“I’m going too! Everyone, hurry on ahead!”
When Alpha also joined, several of the adventurers found it amusing and chased after us, but there was no way they could catch up to me.
The remaining adventurers and merchants asked Wesson.
“1 km north... Is that for real?”
“He said about a hundred orcs... That was said so casually, right?”
“We can’t see anything at all. And with all those trees?”
“Hey? Is there really a village there?”
Wesson answered with a smile.
“Even if ordinary people can’t see it, if Lord Shivans says there is, then there is. We’ll proceed ahead as instructed.”
Wesson started the carriage.
When I got close enough to see the village, the orcs noticed me and charged, but I cut off their heads with Wind Cutter.
Cheers rose from the people on watch.
The village was like a simple fort, and there was also a moat.
It was built in a so-called “comprehensive fortification” style, so they were barely holding out.
“Reinforcements are here!”
When the village watchman shouted, cheers rose from inside.
I took out a spear, restrained the orcs near the gate with Bind, stabbed their necks, and quickly scattered them. The orcs fell, spurting blood one after another.
“Did you see that, Anne! To be able to move like that... He’s not human anymore! And we were ordered to assassinate someone like that...”
Alpha quietly told Anne.
“What a coincidence. Actually, we were too.”
“So that’s how it was...”
“But it doesn’t look like we’ll get a turn...”
The sight of him charging alone into the orc horde was spectacular. The people watching were simply overwhelmed as a slaughter of tremendous momentum took place. Nadja, Alpha, Anne, and the other adventurers had no part to play and were just getting excited.
‘Like a Demon God’
The adventurers who watched would later praise him as such.
I searched for the red dots and pursued them, annihilating them all.
That should be all of them.
As I was collecting the corpses, some knights came.
“Who are you? Why are you in a place like this?”
The one questioning me arrogantly seemed to be a female knight.
“If you’re going to ask someone something, shouldn’t you state your name first?”
When I answered with a smile, an old man knight butted in.
“Shut up! You’re just an adventurer! Answer what you’re asked!”
The adjutant old man was high-handed.
Behind me, Nadja had her bow ready.
There were six knights.
Were they on an inspection? Did they happen to be there? Did a messenger from the village go to them? I didn’t know, but Nadja aiming her bow at the knights created a tense atmosphere.
Can’t be helped.
I stopped Nadja with my hand, put away my weapon, and approached with a smile while applying Intimidation.
“I am Baron Shivans von O’Brien. State your status!”
When I declared myself an imperial noble, the six were surprised.
“Are you all so important that you can question me from horseback?”
Hearing that, they hurriedly dismounted.
Kneeling on one knee, they asked timidly, “We apologize, Baron Excellency! Could you perhaps be Lord Aristo’s schoolmate?”
“That’s right. And you all are?”
“6th Squad, 1st Platoon of the Bismarck Third Knights, Excellency!”
When I showed them the Bismarck family crest and the gold plate of the Adventurer Guild, the six prostrated themselves.
Then, one of the knights who had seen my orc extermination spoke to me as if to curry favor.
“That was incredible! As expected of a gold plate holder!”
“Is that so? More importantly, could you check if there are any injured villagers?”
When I released my Intimidation, the six hurriedly shouted, “Open the gate!” and went inside.
I collected the orcs, and when I entered the village, I was praised by the villagers.
“You’re amazing, man! That was something else!”
“I was watching too, it was really incredible!”
The knights seemed nervous as the villagers casually slapped my shoulder.
A villager was talking to those knights.
“Squad Leader Meilin. I heard a bad cold is going around the territory capital. Is it okay?”
When she took off her helmet, her blonde hair fluttered, revealing a beautiful knight.
Imagining her becoming a “Kukkorro-san” (T/N: a reference to a common trope in eroge where female characters are defeated and raped by orcs) attacked by orcs in an eroge, I’m sure I’m not the only one whose crotch got hot.
Watching the situation, Meilin seemed quite popular.
“It seems there are no injured people. May I ask you something, Squad Leader Meilin? Please call me Shivans.”
She tried to call me by my full name, so I stopped her.
“If it’s something I can answer, please ask anything.”
“I just heard that a bad cold is going around the territory capital. What are the symptoms?”
She told me what she could think of, like high fever, muscle pain, general fatigue, and loss of appetite.
It seemed my work in the territory capital was decided just like that.
