Chapter 208 - 206 Secrets with Rose
I headed toward the Summer Training Camp, where they were just conducting a survival class.
The Marine Corps was teaching as instructors.
"First, if it were me, I would look for a whetstone like this. Because it is convenient for making tools!"
They were explaining the various things one could do, such as shaving stones to make spear-like weapons, making fishhooks from animal bones, or using sharp stones to carve wood.
"I see! That certainly is necessary! Teacher! What should we do about things like fishing line?"
"That is a good question, Jeff. Few people carry them on a daily basis. However, they aren't bulky, so one method is to wrap them around something and always carry them with you!"
Jeff was nodding along while smiling and taking notes.
Aristo, showing his competitive spirit, raised his hand to ask a question.
"But Teacher? Wouldn't they eventually become no good?"
"That is also a good question, Aristo! You need to check them periodically! It would be a problem if they aren't useful in a pinch! The same goes for weapons. Make sure to maintain them properly!"
He looked happy to be told he asked good questions.
As expected, people grow when they are praised.
"Speaking of periodically, what is the guideline for how often?"
"Good question, Chris! It is better to check within a year. If you have the leeway, checking immediately after use is best. Better safe than sorry!"
Chris was also diligently taking notes and studying.
The others, of course, were not to be outdone, raising their hands to ask questions.
That's amazing... everyone is so serious... but it seems the students can't compete with the men of the Shinobi and the women of the Kunoichi, who have been trained since childhood.
At dinner,
I decided to appear before everyone.
The Shinobi men immediately became rock hard.
This is bad! They really got an erection...
Alpha and the others looked at each other's faces in a panic.
The Kunoichi women had their nipples become hard and tight, and their private parts became wet.
This is bad... they've been turned into women who feel lust just by looking at Lord Shivans...
Anne and the others could only exchange wry smiles while looking at each other.
At that moment, I spoke to Jeff, who had appeared there.
"You seem to be struggling."
When he shed tears at my words, the people around him became worried.
In particular, Lea was flustered, asking, "What's wrong?"
"Until now, you were being forced to study inside the Palace and forced to train your body. You entered the Academy as the top student and looked down on the world. Wasn't that how it was?"
Jeff looked startled by my words.
I continued the story.
"The studies you were given hadn't truly taken root. During last year's Summer Training Camp, because you were looking down on everything, you were overtaken by many people in the blink of an eye, and you began to wonder what to do next? You started to feel a vague anxiety about the future, but because no one would teach you, you were frustrated. You wondered what you should do? What you could do with your current strength? And then you went to the Uninhabited Island and were forced to realize that all you had was your status, and you felt miserable, didn't you?"
"That's right... As I thought, Senior, you saw right through me..."
I smiled gently and patted his head.
"But, the current Jeff is different. By having a clear goal, you have found the joy of learning, felt shame for the self that was proud of status, and gained strength. The current Jeff does not look like a prince, but like a fine man!"
He started crying, seemingly moved by something...
"Senior Shivans! You are my teacher! But, I want to win!"
"If winning against everyone is your life's goal, isn't that too small? Even if you win against everyone, what meaning would it have if you couldn't make Lea happy?"
He looked startled and turned to look at Lea's face.
"That's right, Jeff! I want to make you happy too!"
"Lea!"
As the two embraced and wept, the people around them watched with warm eyes.
"In the future, I want to become a teacher at this school! I want to guide students who are struggling with 'what am I learning for?' just like I was!"
"I think that's great! I'll make you a Boxed Lunch every day, Jeff!"
"Lea's Boxed Lunch ♡ I want to eat it!"
I didn't say "there's a cafeteria."
It was such a good atmosphere, after all.
I returned to the Imperial Capital and reported to His Majesty and Klaus.
"It seems possible to make the Koka Tribe and the Iga Tribe, who tried to assassinate me, our allies. Also, the Foreign Minister of the Duchy of Walujava is secretly trying to form the Triple Alliance."
"Understood! Finance Minister, prepare the budget! Foreign Minister, fly to the two nations! Minister of Internal Affairs, provide support to the Koka Tribe and the Iga Tribe. Co-opt the tribes other than Kieff and Hazard! Klaus, break down the barriers between the various departments and make this operation smooth!"
With His Majesty's rapid-fire orders, Klaus, the Cabinet Ministers, and the bureaucrats became busy.
At the same time, Jason was in Kieff Country.
And he was shocked to be informed by the Kieff dignitaries that the Altmea Empire, which he believed had suffered heavy damage, had not suffered any damage at all.
"T-That's... impossible! I became a Baron thanks to that!"
"I know nothing of your circumstances, but I did not think your country was one that possessed only that level of intelligence. Well, I wouldn't mind helping you, you know?"
While watching his vulgar laughter, he attempted to conclude the Triple Alliance with money.
However, he ended up being laughed at.
He returned to his inn feeling humiliated.
And as the sun set, he began to feel an ominous presence.
"Why are my subordinates and guards not here? Where did they go?"
"If you think normally, shouldn't you assume they were eliminated?"
Jason trembled as only a voice was heard from the shadows.
"W-Who are you!"
"To think a wanted criminal would be here without even a disguise!"
He finally realized that the Shadow Units of the Koka Tribe and the Iga Tribe were surrounding the inn in layers upon layers, creating a situation where even an ant could not escape.
"Lord Jason. I have no intention of being rough. Since you have been told that a corpse is acceptable."
Jason surrendered quietly, but he believed (there is a possibility of a comeback if he stays alive).
And the people who had requested the assassination of Shivans were visiting the Koka Tribe and Iga Tribe villages.
"Did you finish off Shivans? How long is it taking? Even though we paid such a high request fee!"
They were asking in a high-handed, mocking tone.
This question would be their last, as they were destined to be captured and tortured...
"Did you think an assassination was possible with such cheap money?"
Upon being told this by Obaaba-sama, they sneered with mocking faces.
"Hmph! You finally realized? Fine. I'll add a bit more! Untie these ropes! We can't even talk like this, can we?"
They thought they could escape.
Because around the village, many subordinates were hidden, and they were even prepared for a raid if necessary.
However, Obaaba-sama was one step ahead.
"Do not worry. I have no intention of conversing with those who underestimate us as mere country folk! You and your companions shall work here until you die!"
The subordinates hidden in the vicinity had been quietly put to sleep, made to inhale anesthetic, and captured.
"It is time to wake up! From now on, you will spend your lives in this village."
"Wha! Don't be ridiculous! Do you intend to become enemies of the Duchy of Walujava? We can destroy a tiny village like this instantly!"
"Ahahaha! The fate of that Duchy of Walujava is already coming to an end. You have drawn your bows against the Heavenly Army. God's hammer will soon fall upon your country!"
"W-What Heavenly Army! You lunatics!"
However, they were branded with Slave Marks and made into slaves or servants of the Iga Tribe.
The people who were supposed to inform their home country were also captured.
The Foreign Ministers of the Duchy of Walujava who had come to Kieff Country also disappeared, and contact with their home country became impossible. Although the Triple Alliance was concluded with money, Shekel was irritated by the Foreign Ministers and Jason, who did not return.
I headed to the territory of Prince Jay, the Marquis of the Eastern Frontier, for the first time in a while.
The Ruby Trading Company, which was Rinora's family home, should be there.
(Before that, shall I try going to Ogin and Emu's shop?)
Ogin's shop was popular.
As usual, it seemed the Fifth Prince, Jay, was always hanging around there, but is he okay?
Since Jay was flirting with Ogin, I asked Emu.
"Hey? Do you know the Ruby Trading Company?"
Then, a customer told me while laughing.
"Big Brother! It's the big shop diagonally across from here. Can you see the piles of lumber? That's the Ruby Trading Company!"
I see.
They say it's darkest under the lamp, but to think it was so close by...
I kidnapped the reluctant Jay and headed to the Ruby Trading Company, which surprised them.
"T-This is Lord Shivans! Even the Lord!? What on earth..."
"I was just forcibly brought here by Shivans-kun..."
Jay sulked.
The wife served tea, and we began to engage in small talk.
"Oh! So the local specialties will be showcased at this year's Autumn Party? That's lovely! I wonder if we have anything? Right, Lord?"
The wife acted flirtatiously toward Jay, but since Jay is a pure Moho, he was brushing her off. The wife... looks slightly hurt...
Then her husband, Ruby, brought the topic back to the main point.
"S-So... do you think there might be something here too?"
"There is, but there is a problem."
At my words, the Ruby couple and Jay leaned in.
"There is! Really? What is the problem?"
"Please calm down, Prince Jay. I will make it and show you now."
Among the lumber I was allowed to see earlier, there was Hon-kaya.
However, what I made was shown using Earth Magic to create everything. That is because it was a 'sample.'
"This is... what is it, Shivans-kun?"
"It is called Shogi and Go."
After listening to my explanation, Jay had a happy face and immediately told his aide, "Tell my wives to come as well," and Levina, Karina, and Julia were called.
"I'm telling you, I haven't laid a finger on Karina or Julia, of course, not even my older sister. It's only Ogin for me!"
He said that in a low voice while looking at the rulebook I made.
When Levina, Karina, and Julia appeared, they hugged me.
"Leave that for when we get home. More importantly, I want you to look at this!"
With a proud face, Jay began to explain to the three women.
"Oh! This is lovely! It looks like it will be a trend!"
When Levy said that, Karina asked me worriedly, "It certainly is. But they look like they're making difficult faces? Is there some problem?"
"If you call it a problem, it is a problem, but..."
There is no copyright in this world.
Imitations can be made easily. Besides, once you learn the rules, it is a game that can be played by drawing on the ground even without tools.
"Eh? Then is it no good, Darling?"
"Not exactly, Julia!"
If I make something that appeals to those with high-end tastes, it should sell.
It is also good news for those working as furniture artisans or stonemasons who cannot sell their goods.<
"We just have to make it clear that the original is here! We should conduct large-scale advertising and hold regular tournaments. If people gather, money will fall, and it will also be great advertising! Besides, Hon-kaya wood isn't something you can find just anywhere. A magnificent piece of wood like this must be over 300 years old."
The artisans nodded in agreement at my words.
First, I will teach the artisans of the Ruby Trading Company how to make it.
"This is where your sense will be tested. If you make a good product, I don't think 1 million G per piece is just a dream, you know?"
The artisans were dancing with joy, watching my every move to learn and steal the techniques. Then they asked several questions.
"Lord Shivans! This stand?"
"That is a stand for placing the pieces taken from the opponent. It's beautiful, isn't it?"
We applied Urushi-like Tree sap to the grid of the Shogi or Go board and finished it with Kiwax.
"Ooh! It's a beautiful finish!"
The artisans gazed at the completed boards and pieces, praising them.
"I utilized Wind Magic. However, you all surely have the skill! If you show your talent, you will surely gain a reputation in this land!"
The artisans said, "We'll do it before we forget!" and began to work.
Before I knew it, it had become completely dusk.
When I said it was time to return, Julia and Karina linked arms and invited me to their manor.<
"Ufufu! Wonderful! As expected of Darling!"
"Come! Let's go to our manor, Papa!"
I told the Ruby couple, "I will come again tomorrow!"
Levy also followed me, but was stopped by Jay.
"I'm begging you, Sister! Don't have the next child..."
"Why not! Since it's the child of my younger brother! Babies are cute, aren't they?"
"They are cute! No, no! Officially, we are sister and brother, okay? If it becomes bad..."
"If you get picky, you'll go bald and be hated by Ogin! Our mothers are different, and we don't even know if we're truly siblings! This conversation is over! You just focus on the effort to spread Shogi and Go!"
Leaving Jay behind, Levy returned to the manor and declared she would be embraced by me.
That night, I was attended to by the three of them, and the next morning, I renovated Ogin's shop.
"Wh-What are you doing? Are you listening, Young Master?"
"From now on, we are going to upgrade the shop even further!"
I turned it into a social hall where people could easily enjoy Shogi and Go.
By expanding the shop and creating rooms with tables and tatami mats, it became a massive success through word-of-mouth, with people saying, "You can enjoy Shogi and Go casually while eating meals and drinking alcohol!"
When lines formed at the shop, I also placed Shogi and Go sets at the entrance.
"This is great! Waiting isn't painful at all!"
"Someone, play against me!"
"You... that's a double move! You lose by foul!"
"Tch! I thought too much and made a stupid move..."
"Poor thinking is like resting! Ahahaha!"
It became a shop where laughter never ceased.
When I taught them about Kifu there as well, the intelligent people began playing Shogi using only the game records.
"W-Wouldn't this make it impossible to do business?"
"It's fine. If many fans are made, many will surely come to this land, the 'Holy Land'! And they will want the authentic Shogi and Go boards. Even cheap products should sell now."
Reservations were already flooding in, and they were in a situation of waiting for their turn.
However, they were likely worried that they would stop selling eventually.
"Rather than worrying about the future, we must make sure they sell grandly at the Autumn Party! Isn't that so? Right, dear?"
At the words of Ruby's wife, he looked startled.
"Y-Yes, you're right. There's no point in being too greedy. I am sorry for not even saying thank you."
"It is fine. If I was of even a little help."
I was allowed to spend about one week in this land.
When I used Earth Magic and Spirit Magic to till the farmland so that a harvest could be achieved, Levy, Karina, and Julia were also overjoyed.
"Hey? What will happen to the war?" Levy asked worriedly.
"Don't you dare die, Papa!" Karina said.
"I'm going to have a second child! So make sure you look at the second one properly!" Julia said.
"I know! I definitely won't lose, and I will return alive!"
After making a promise to the three of them, I headed to the last family home of the Seven Idols—Ekaterina's family home.
That was the territory capital of the First Imperial Prince's domain.<
(Since I embraced Chris, I feel heavy-hearted...)
For some reason, I feel like she is waiting for me with bated breath...
But, that was not actually the case.
Chris was writing a letter and consulting with her mother.<
(That girl has finally learned of love! She's having a youth! How nice!)
The First Imperial Prince, Vista, and his aide, Blade, were even more vigilant because of Chris's letter. They were also exchanging letters with her father, the Emperor.
"Blade. It seems that an assassin organization had indeed infiltrated Father's place as well..."
"Is that so. It seems the rumors that many assassins had also come to Baron Shivans are true..."
"It seems he fought them off. Fufu... what an interesting man! I would like him to work for me when I become Emperor... I wonder if I can manage something with Chris?"
Chris had a certain air of being detached from the world.
"Lady Chris? She seems to have absolutely no interest in men."
"It seems changes have appeared recently! There is even a report that she went on a date with a handsome man at the rumored Wizard Hotel! Even though she is my own child, I thought she was pitiful with her meager body."
Vista was happily spreading the stories he had heard from his wife.<
The last time I came to the Mercury Territory, I had looked around this land.
When I visited the Shekel Trading Company and introduced myself as "Baron Shivans von O'Brien," the company became as chaotic as a disturbed beehive, and the Shekel Couple came rushing out in a panic.
"Welcome... thank you so much for coming to this land!"
"You always write in your letters that you love our daughter! We are moved that you have come to us!"
I could imagine Ekaterina was giving good reports.
"The reason I came today is nothing else. Regarding the local specialties..."
Before I could finish, there was a great commotion in the shop.
For the time being, I showed them something that could become a local specialty.
"Lord Shivans? What is this? It looks like stone?"
A person who seemed to be the Head Clerk asked with an exasperated face.<
(Don't be disappointed. It's just beginning.)
I spoke with a smile.
"Speaking of stone, well, it is stone, but it is not just any stone! This is called porcelain stone, or rather, magnetic stone! With this, good things can be made!"
There, I crushed the magnetic stone, finely pulverized it into a powder, added water, aligned the particles, and kneaded it into a clay-like state while removing the air. From there, I performed shaping and biscuit firing.
"Normally, this takes time. However, please understand that I am intentionally using magic and alchemy to do this just to show you all!"
I used glaze to draw an underglaze and performed the final firing.
"After finishing it at a high temperature of about 1400°C, please perform the final decoration by drawing a proper underglaze and finishing it at about 800°C."
I explained that the completed work, unlike pottery, had a sense of transparency, and if you flicked it with your finger, it would make a "ting" sound.
"I-It certainly does!"
"It has a high-end feel!"
The Shekel Couple were also picking it up to check.<
"One good point is that it is superior to pottery in terms of being waterproof. However, hot things cool down easily, and heat is transmitted to the vessel quickly, making it hard to hold. As an ornamental item, there is no doubt it will appeal to nobles and the wealthy! If you fire good pieces, they will sell for high prices!"
The people of the Shekel Trading Company were eager at my words.
When I prepared and handed over a large amount of the pulverized magnetic stone, the artisans were immediately gathered.
"We have the kiln soil! Make the clay!"
"Prepare high-quality firewood! Hurry!"
"Find someone good at drawing! And someone with dexterous hands!"
As Shekel, the Head Clerk, and the Master Artisan issued orders one after another, they all moved at once.<
(With this, I wonder if I've been able to repay Prince Vista a little?)
Since I was invited to the Lord's Manor, I headed there.
There, I spoke about the local specialties.
"This is something that other territories cannot do. How is it? It makes a good sound, doesn't it? And if you add a handle, doesn't it look stylish when drinking coffee or tea?"
Vista, his wife, and Blade were all interested. When Blade said with deep emotion, "Will this... become the specialty of this land," the Prince also looked happy, saying, "It certainly seems like it would sell for a high price."
Then, while eating, we talked about the specialties in various regions.<
"Ultimately, it leads to the strengthening of national power and the revitalization of the economy. Nobles who cannot keep up with this will be weeded out. By the time Your Highness ascends to His Majesty's position, if you do not understand the economy, you will not be loved by the people. His Majesty understands this, so he invites merchants to parties and makes them compete, thereby improving technological capabilities."
"Hmm... Blade, what do you think?"
Blade was suddenly put on the spot by Vista.<
"I-It's true, I felt it when I went to the White Castle before. I think if there are only taxes extracted from farmers, there will be a constant shortage of revenue during bad harvests. I felt that territories where farmers have motivation are also prosperous in commerce... and then there are the local specialties. Since seeing the Tarsel Wine, I have also felt the necessity of local specialties. However..."
Blade cannot freely go to other territories like I can.
(I can't say it's because I have knowledge from my previous life...)
Since the atmosphere became heavy, I decided to bring out and serve the specialties from various regions.
"This is a specialty using peaches from Prince Richard's domain! Please, have some."
"My! It looks delicious and beautiful!"
Vista's wife ate voraciously and also served bourbon, which she named 'Diana.'
"Don't let Rose drink! She's a heavy drinker..."
"It was too late..."
She had been eating a lot of jelly filled with liqueur.
"Honey! Do you know how painful I am!"
Vista's wife, called Rose, was a drunkard.
"S-Shivans-kun... I leave Rose to you!"
"S-Lord Shivans! Please take care of the rest!"
Vista and Blade fled, clutching the bourbon.
I laid Rose down and read her thoughts.<
(I see. So that's how it is...)
After removing the alcohol and waking her up, she apologized with a sheepish face, saying, "I'm sorry..."
"It is fine. Everyone has their own worries, and they want to release them somewhere. Besides, the worries your wife holds, I can solve them a little, you know?"
"If that's the case, I have plenty! First, let's take a bath!"
She took my hand and entered together.
"First of all, this body! I'm 35! Is that bad? I didn't let it sag because I wanted to!"
She scolded me while crying.<
"I... I know! If you drink the semen of a man with strong magic, your skin becomes rejuvenated and beautiful, right? It's a common rumor in the Imperial Capital! Make me drink it too!"
She approached me with the momentum of her intoxication.
"After I gave birth to Chris, because the treatment was poor... I can't have children anymore! When Vista found that out, he stopped embracing me... Fix it! Don't look at an old lady who isn't embraced with such pitiful eyes! Even I... didn't become an old lady because I wanted to!"
While I was thinking about how to comfort her, she said, "Hmph! Are you trying to say I'm not worth embracing?" so I combined [Revive] and [Heal] with [Body Fat Transfer] to make her beautiful.
With surprisingly good fellatio, she was quickly brought to climax.
"Ufufu! An old lady's technique isn't bad, is it? Since I can't have children anyway, you don't have to worry about creampieing me, okay? Hey? Are you excited? You want to make this drunken, lewd old lady drink more semen, don't you? It's fine! I'll suck it," she said, doing anything with the momentum of her intoxication.
"It was more worth sucking than my husband's cock. How about sex?"
"That is also good, but please savor the foreplay."
It is a common occurrence among nobles, but they do not devote themselves to women. Since it was only perfunctory foreplay, when I performed thorough and careful foreplay, Rose was instantly drowned in pleasure.<
"To an old lady of this age... don't teach me such amazing sex this late in life ♡ Shivans's cock feels so good ♡ Don't drive me crazy ♡ I'm coming ♡ I'm coming ♡"
Rose was lost in lewdness.<
"Nooo—♡ I'm coming—♡"
"Not yet!"
"Are you going to make me fall for you?"
"You can't turn back now, can you? Stick out your tongue."
"If I'm given such a... melting kiss... I'll fall in love with you ♡"
"Rose's pussy is so gooey and feels good, you know?"
"It's my first time being this wet ♡ I'm coming too much ♡ My pussy is going to break ♡"
"I'm going to get Rose pregnant, you know?"
"Fine ♡ I'll get pregnant with Shivans's child ♡"
That night, while changing positions five times, she complained with a smile, "You're too much of a stallion ♡"
(This is bad... I just had a parent-child bowl! Well, whatever!)
The next morning.
Rose woke up in my arms.
Immediately after waking, she looked in the mirror.
"I did it! I've rejuvenated a little and my chest has even gotten bigger!? I want more! Ah! Keep it a secret from Chris and my husband! If you're staying for about a week, I want you to embrace me every day!"
Once she learned anal as well, her irregular periods and constipation were also resolved and she rejuvenated, but Vista and Blade didn't notice at all. At night, she would drink alcohol and pretend to be a drunkard to be embraced by me.
And when a week passed, agricultural products became bountiful in various regions. When Blade reported, "As I thought, he is a genius mage!", Rose, for some reason, puffed out her chest and said, "I knew it!"
"Alright! Let's go on an inspection!"
When Vista and the others went out, Rose immediately led me to the bedroom and exposed her beautiful, naked body to me. I thought she had become a nymphomaniac, but she must be happy.
And by the time I returned, she looked like she was in her late 20s and was rejoicing, saying, "I have to buy new sexy bras and sexy panties!"
