Chapter 190 - 188 The Villages of Bismarck Territory
Wesson was in a hurry.
(I understand he wants to make up for lost time. But isn't there a saying about haste making waste?)
Thinking that, he called out for a lunch break.
"Mr. Wesson. I understand you're feeling impatient. But please calm down. Cielo-san wants us to bring back money and information, and for everyone to return safely. Even if we arrive a day earlier now, it won't change anything at this point. Or do you want to go home early?"
With a look of realization, he apologized to me.
"I-I'm sorry. I feel guilty for making everyone wait, and I couldn't help but get impatient..."
"More importantly, let's gather information. We're stepping into unknown territory. And also..."
I told everyone that we were searching for the 'Dark Poison Spider'.
(I'll have the Koka Tribe and Iga Tribe, who want the credit, cooperate too.)
Since the Shadow Unit was here, I passed the information along. No information had come out at all until now.
However, walking with the 'Shinobi' men whose erections wouldn't go down, and the 'Kunoichi' women whose crotches made squelching sounds, was still a struggle.
Alpha immediately complained.
"Don't go wafting your damn sex appeal around for nothing!"
"Are you getting aroused by us? How filthy!"
Told by Anne, he said, "L-Like hell! Who'd get hard for the likes of you..." but when he remembered how strangely alluring their hip movements were, he couldn't take his eyes off them.
"You perverted freak!"
Due looked down on him with a gaze like she was seeing something dirty.
"Shivans-sama will get mad at you again!"
Told by Nadja on top of the carriage, they quieted down.
Kuro and Shiro complained to Three and Four, "Walk further away!" and they walked along arguing, "Who'd want to get close to the likes of you! Don't flatter yourself!"
But all four of them were anxious. They had heard the Priest was captured, and One and Two were missing. There was no one left to give them orders.
Everyone carried a vague unease, but by evening they arrived at a small town. There, he snapped his fingers at Three, Four, Kuro, and Shiro.
Normally they would have been welcomed with open arms, but the town felt dark and subdued.
"Did something happen?"
When Wesson asked the town mayor, he said, "The epidemic from the territory capital came here too, and many people have died..."
The sobbing of people who had lost their elderly or infants could be heard.
"Dammit! Those bastards from the Duchy of Walujava and the 'Church of Light'! What did we ever do to them? If you want war, go fight it yourselves! Why do we have to be sacrificed too!"
When the soul's lament reached the road, Kuro, Shiro, Three, and Four felt their hearts ache. Of course, the merchants and adventurers also felt their hearts ache.
The problem was that the inns and taverns were in a state of dejection, saying, "We don't feel like doing business."
(The whole town feels like a funeral wake...)
"Shivans-sama... Please save this town with the Angel-sama's miracle!"
Nadja begged me, crying along with them.
So I asked the mayor and had him line up the bodies.
Hearing everyone's sobbing, I began to chant a spell and dance.
'Those harmed by the Devil. O wandering souls! Please, find peaceful slumber! The path shown by God now opens!'
'Purification'
With the sparkling effect, everyone looked up to the sky and shed tears. As the deceased people smiled, waved their hands, and said 'Thank you', people cried out 'Don't go!' and reached their hands towards the sky.
And when the effect wore off, I cast 'Euphoria' as an addition, and everyone knelt on one knee, clasped their hands together, and began to worship me.
"Angel-sama! Thank you for saving us!"
"A god! He is our god!"
People even started doing dogeza, and those who had been watching from afar also came over, causing a huge commotion.
(Seems like this cheered them up a bit.)
The inns and taverns also reopened for business.
The caravan and adventurers were relieved, but there weren't enough places to stay.
I took the liberty of renovating an abandoned house on the outskirts of town.
It was two stories, and it seemed no one had lived there for a long time.
I repaired it with 'Revive' and cast 'Clean' on it. After purifying and cleaning it, I decided to build a bath. When I thought the space was a bit too big for just me, some guys claiming to be companions said, "It's bigger than I thought!" and barged right in.
"Why are the 'Kunoichi' here?"
"Nadja's here too, you know? And Kuro and Shiro!"
Trois said happily and started assigning rooms on her own.
Then Alpha and the others came and complained to the 'Kunoichi' women.
"Why are you guys here?"
When Beta complained, Quatre shot back, "Coming in late and acting all high and mighty! Still got a hard-on, huh? How lewd!"
"Me? No way I'd get hard for the likes of you. Besides, I'm only interested in men."
"Beta. It's better not to say that. Shivans-sama is pulling back."
Gamma warned him calmly.
At this rate, the conversation wouldn't move forward at all, so first I ordered the 'Shinobi' men to take a bath.
While I was cooking, Kuro and Shiro immediately came to help. Seeing this, the 'Kunoichi' women made suspicious faces.
"We were the director's secretaries at the hospital, you know!"
"That's right! We're good at cooking too!"
The five of them felt a sense of discomfort seeing Kuro and Shiro interacting with me with smiles.
(The 'Kunoichi' are hesitating because the Obaaba-sama ordered them to come and sleep with me. They have some goodwill towards me, but nothing more. So I'll use Kuro and Shiro to make them jealous a bit.)
For that purpose, I snapped my fingers at Kuro and Shiro and kept them by my side. I also wanted some company for the night.
I made kinpira with root vegetables I got in the territory capital, cooked rice, and made pork miso soup.
Quite quickly, the 'Shinobi' men came out saying, "That was a good bath! Sorry for going first, Shivans-sama!"
"I wonder if they washed properly? They still look smelly..."
When Anne said that mockingly, Delta frowned.
"Aren't you guys the ones getting horny every day, making your crotches all sweaty and smelly? Clean yourselves up, alright? You stink."
Delta snickered.
It looked like another fight was about to start, so I ordered the 'Kunoichi' women and Nadja to take a bath.
"Don't peek! And if you defile us again, we'll kick you out!"
When Cinq glared and said that in a rather strong tone, Sigma waved his hand with a smile, saying, "We're gentlemen! Don't worry."
The bath was a bit small for six people, but since they were the ones who barged in, they couldn't complain, and they wanted to talk about important things, but since Nadja was there, they talked about trivial matters.
"Hey? Aren't Kuro and Shiro strangely close to Shivans-sama?"
When Due raised the question, Trois laughed, saying, "You think so? Aren't they like little sisters? Like Nadja."
"Trois, you're dense about that kind of thing. I think there's something going on."
When Quatre said that, Cinq was surprised.
"Something like what? Don't tell me it's the same assassination as us..."
She started to say it, then covered her mouth and looked at Nadja. The five of them were relieved to see that Nadja was using shampoo and conditioner and hadn't heard.
"A-Anyway, whether they're close or not, we are who we are, right? This isn't the time to worry about others."
Anne concluded by saying that.
When they got out of the bath, there was a proper vanity table, and they dried their hair with life magic while looking in the mirror.
"Ah! There's 'All-in-One'!"
The 'Kunoichi' women were surprised to see Nadja pick it up and use it in front of the vanity.
"How can you use it?"
Due asked in surprise.
"Well, I lived at Shivans-sama's house for two days, you know!"
When Nadja said that happily, Trois asked with great interest, "What was it like?"
"Super luxurious! A castle more splendid than the imperial palace! Harrier-san and the maids taught me all sorts of things!"
As she said that, Quatre saw Nadja wearing a sexy pair of panties that didn't suit her, and a night bra.
"What about that underwear?"
"I bought it at Shivans-sama's castle! Nice, right?"
Hearing that, the five of them wondered how much of it was true. They had received theirs at the hospital, so they asked if it was different.
"So, the clothes and shoes Nadja is wearing too?"
When Cinq asked, she answered happily, "Yeah! They're super expensive, but Shivans-sama said they were a gift!"
(This girl went to Shivans-sama's house. I'm jealous.)
The 'Kunoichi' women wondered who Nadja really was.
After that, the 14 of us ate dinner, drank a little alcohol, and I took a bath with Kuro and Shiro.
After the bath was fun time.
I set up a barrier in the room and cast 'Sound Barrier' and 'Perception Block'.
Kuro and Shiro got to do a bi-ample.
They hugged each other, kissed, and groped, sucked, and were sucked on their boobs. The two spread their legs and waited for me.
"Master! Kuro's pssy is aching ♡"
"Shiro's pssy too! It's already all gooey ♡"
When I fucked Kuro, who was on top, she made an ahe face, saying, "This! It's here――――! I'm gonna cum right away ♡ It's hitting the back all of a sudden ♡"
A lewd squelching sound echoed, and she screamed, "I'm cumming ♡ I'm cumming ♡ Feels so good ♡" and squirted.
"Yahn ♡ Master ♡ Stick it in Shiro too! I want your dck ♡"
"Wait a bit more! I'm gonna cum in Kuro first!"
"Un ♡ Cum inside! Make me pregnant ♡ I'm about to go crazy cumming ♡"
After cumming plenty, I had Kuro suck me clean, and then when I inserted into Shiro, Kuro straddled Shiro's face.
"Lick my erotic pssy too ♡"
"Master's sperm and Kuro's love juices are mixed together ♡"
Kuro, being licked, let out moans. Shiro, grabbed by the hips and fucked deep, came many times, convulsing and twitching.
"Sex with Master is the best ♡"
"Un ♡ It's so much fun ♡"
I satisfied Kuro and Shiro and fell asleep with them.
The next morning
Three 17-year-old girls in mini-skirt one-pieces were cheerfully helping me make breakfast.
The 'Shinobi' men came downstairs, washed their faces, and appeared.
Alpha was watching us with a fond smile.
"As expected, having young girls around really brightens things up!"
"What are you talking about like an old man! That's disgusting! Why don't you just die?"
Even though he was verbally abused by Anne from the morning, Beta said, "It's a refreshing morning! At least greet people like a human being!" and Due burst out laughing.
"Don't talk about humanity, you guys who have your crotches bulging from the morning just from seeing cute girls! You beasts!"
"Now, now, calm down! Shivans-sama and the others are kind enough to make us breakfast from the morning! Should we help out with something too?"
Gamma smoothed things over with a smile. Trois, while serving the food, complained, "If you think that, why don't you act on it? You're not guests here, you know?"
"You're right. That's fair."
Delta obediently bowed his head.
"You're being strangely obedient. You must have ulterior motives because you find us attractive, right? It's so obvious."
Told by Quatre, (Like hell, you ugly bitch!) the 'Shinobi' men screamed in their hearts, barely holding back their anger.
"Th-This is just a male physiological phenomenon. You gotta understand."
Sigma pointed at his crotch and gave an embarrassed laugh.
"I know it's a physiological phenomenon if it's just in the morning. But you guys are like that all day, right? You perverted bastards!"
At Cinq's sharp tongue, the 'Shinobi' men's patience was about to snap.
(Last night, the men slept upstairs, and the women and I slept downstairs, but they must have had a strategy meeting upstairs.)
The strategy was to endure whatever the 'Kunoichi' women said with a smile.
'Listen up. If we get into a fight with those stupid women and Shivans-sama gets sick of us, we'll lose everything. Ignore them as much as possible. Respond with a smile!'
Thus, they devised the 'Endure what is unendurable, bear what is unbearable' strategy.
When the meal started, the men stared at the three girls' beautiful thighs and the area just out of sight. Seeing this, the 'Kunoichi' women looked down on them with eyes like they were looking at trash.
Unaware of this invisible battle, the three girls were happily eating breakfast together.
"Nadja, you eat a lot but you don't gain weight, do you?"
"Really! I'm impressed!"
Praised by Kuro and Shiro, she smiled happily.
"Being able to eat lots of delicious food is a happy thing!"
"That's right, Nadja! When people say delicious food is delicious, it makes the cook want to do their best too!"
At my words, Nadja nodded with a bright face, saying 'Un un', and had seconds.
After the meal, I cast 'Clean', cleaned up, and stored everything in my inventory. Everyone went back to their rooms and started changing.
Upstairs...
"Alpha! I can't take it anymore! Being told whatever they want like that is bad for my mental health!"
Beta was pissed off.
"Calm down! You're too straightforward. Sure, we were pissed too, but we all decided on this, right? It's too early to draw conclusions. Let's just see how things go for a while longer."
Told by Gamma, he calmed down a bit.
"Yeah, you're right. What was I thinking... Sorry."
"But I get how you feel. Those ugly bitches!"
Delta tried to smooth things over.
"More than those women, aren't you worried about not having any achievements at this rate? We need to do something impressive somewhere too. Otherwise, we'll just be freeloaders tagging along."
Everyone agreed that Sigma had a point.
This anxiety was, coincidentally, also felt by the 'Kunoichi' women.
But the rock-hard 'Shinobi' men and the sopping-wet 'Kunoichi' women didn't seem like they could fight. Both teams were struggling just to walk. Thanks to wearing the sanitary products they bought at the hospital every day, they managed to walk somehow.
They were supposed to be safe even on heavy days, but when it came to that, their love juices overflowed, and the five of them had to change them every half day. During toilet breaks, if they didn't change their pants, they'd be in a state of wetting themselves.
When it was finally time to depart, the townspeople came out to see us off.
"Angel-sama! Come again!"
The women squealed, shouting "God!" and "Angel-sama!" as they saw us off.
"He must be a high-ranking priest, right? Women are so simple."
"He's young and handsome too, so it can't be helped."
"Even my old mom is head over heels!"
The men seeing us off were calm, but there was no doubt they were happy.
Wesson called out, "The next village is the last one in Bismarck territory."
I was still at the back, but Kuro and Shiro, claiming to be my secretaries and bodyguards, were clinging to me.
After a while, the peaceful rural landscape disappeared, and untouched nature spread out before us. If there were no road, it would truly be just wilderness.
(My old territory used to look like this too.)
I gazed at it, filled with emotion.
But the adventurers began to get a bit tense.
"Director, you're not tense, are you?"
Kuro asked me curiously.
"Well, no. There are no monsters or bandits here."
"That's amazing! You can tell!"
Shiro said, impressed.
Even on the map and with 'Hawk Eye', no red dots appeared.
Around noon, we arrived at a parking area, and since there were settlements scattered here and there, the adventurers relaxed and took a break.
There were a few merchants, so we exchanged information.
"The village ahead is a good one! Lots of vegetables and fruits! Plenty of good wheat too. Prices are cheap! And there are plenty of good women too! If I had the money, I'd want to live there forever! What they don't have are medicine, meat, and fish. If you guys have them, you'll be very welcome!"
The merchant who came from the village had clearly had quite a bit of fun.
Because he was covered in hickies.
"You can't, Master!"
"We'll take care of you!"
Kuro and Shiro grabbed my arms tightly and linked them, pressing their boobs against me.
"It's 'Director' when we're outside, right?"
It was fine since I said it in a voice so low no one could hear.
Nadja was, as usual, the star of the food stalls.
"You've got a good appetite, little lady! It makes me happy to see you eat my deer meat skewers so deliciously!"
I was paying, so I went to the stall and paid.
"Oh! A handsome man! They say a man should have neither money nor power, but you look like you have both. I'm jealous."
He said that, looking enviously at the beautiful Kuro and Shiro firmly linked arms with me.
Seeing this, an adventurer teased Three and Four.
"Is that okay? Aren't they your girlfriends?"
"They're just childhood friends!"
"All women are bitches. Instead of worrying about us, you should worry about your own girlfriends. Looks like they're being hit on?"
Was it because of the hospital's third floor?
The 'Kunoichi' women were also being persistently hit on by the male adventurers.
"Hey hey? If you're gonna flaunt that sex appeal, how about tonight?"
"We'll guide you to heaven, just like Shivans-sama!"
The five of them intimidated them silently.
"Tch! If that's how it is, don't walk so lewdly!"
"Seriously! Honestly!"
When the men left, the 'Kunoichi' women consulted each other.
"I think Shivans-sama has something god-like about him, right? He must be giving off some incredible pheromones or something, so maybe that's why we, Kuro, Shiro, and those five rotten bastards near him are all getting horny?"
Cinq's words made sense, but Trois said there was something she found strange.
"Then what about Nadja?"
"That's it! What if she's actually his long-lost little sister? He said he invited her to his house, right? Maybe she's the little sister he rescued?"
It was strangely convincing, and they got excited over the silly idea that it would certainly explain why she might not get horny.
The lunch break ended, and Wesson called out loudly to everyone, "We're departing!"
Nothing happened on the way, and when we safely arrived at the next village, we received a great welcome. It was practically a celebration. The Cielo Trading Company seemed to be famous.
I had made a certain promise with Wesson.
"If that rumor from earlier is true, how about selling the meat, fish, dried fish, smoked goods, and fish paste I have? My cut is 20%. I'll supply them if that's okay with you."
Wesson jumped at it without a second thought.
"Please! Let us sell them!"
We rented an empty shop and sold fresh seafood and meat. I had Kuro, Shiro, and Nadja change clothes and help at the shop, and the 'Kunoichi' women and 'Shinobi' men also came to help.
"Ooh! A fine woman is selling it!"
"Hey mister! I'll buy 2kg, so carry it for me!"
When I told the customers, "I'll also freeze the meat and fish as a service! They'll last longer!" even more people started buying in bulk.
"It's cheap! Is the shipping included?"
"Is it okay for it to be this cheap? It's not weird meat, is it?"
They were more suspicious and worried, so I grilled and cooked it right in front of them and let them try it. They pounced on it, saying, "This is delicious! I'll buy it!"
For the two hours until it got dark, we sold like crazy.
"Ahh! I can't sleep with my feet pointing towards Shivans-sama!"
Wesson was in high spirits. I had set the prices for the seafood and meat higher than what they sold for in the imperial capital, but they were still considered cheap.
When I suggested we just BBQ the leftover meat and seafood and eat it, the other adventurers also came over, lured by the smell, saying, "Thanks for the food!"
"Villagers, don't be shy! Please, help yourselves! There's alcohol too!"
"I can't just join in without paying! Take this!"
When I set it at 1,000 G for all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink, a large crowd came.
(I didn't intend to make money like this, but I made quite a bit.)
Many people came bringing vegetables and fruit to join in, or bringing alcohol and merrily drinking with the adventurers. I found a large vacant lot next to the shop, built an open-air bath, and let the people who came use it.
"No drunk people allowed. It's mixed bathing, so don't assault or be assaulted. Women, please wrap a towel around yourselves and enter!"
"Ahaha! That's fine! It's not like anyone's gonna lose anything by being seen!"
The cheerful aunties preyed on the young adventurers, but the men, hardened by the hospital, instead said, "Just the way I like it!" and were getting frisky.
Amidst all this, I obtained some concerning information.
"You guys are heading northwest from here, right?"
"Yes, that's right. Why do you ask?"
He downed his drink and told me.
"Past here is the territory of a money-grubbing count named Count Arton. His vassal noble, a viscount named Viscount Butta, is even worse."
There were rumors that Viscount Butta's territory had a hidden mine. But the southern lands were a barren wasteland of deserts and jagged rocky mountains, and apparently only criminals and bandits lived there.
"They had a hard time building the road too, I hear. Butta the bastard didn't cooperate and apparently said, 'If you want to use the land, pay up.' Hearing that, His Majesty got furious and said, 'I'll charge you with treason,' so he hurriedly cooperated. But out of spite, he even started collecting a transit tax!"
I immediately sent a bird to investigate, and it was true.
(Is he an idiot? If they find out about this, it won't end with just getting yelled at...)
They had even built a checkpoint between Count Arton's territory and Viscount Butta's territory.
I flew to the palace and reported to His Majesty and Klaus.
"Arton! To mock Us! Klaus! Immediately dispatch troops from the territory! The Imperial Army will follow later!"
"Understood! I'm sorry, but Shivans-kun, deliver this to Kaoz!"
I received the order and handed it to Kaoz. He said, "Understood. I can't march out immediately, so I'll send spies ahead," and people disguised as travelers headed north.
