Chapter 209 - 207 The Kunoichi Fall
The summer training camp ended, and the ranking announcement was being held.
The men of the 'Shinobi' and the women of the 'Kunoichi' had monopolized the top 10 ranks, and Aristo, Jeff, Chris, and the others were in shock.
"Will you stop crying already? Are you two, Jeff and Aristo, really that frustrated?"
Aria said, sounding annoyed.
"Well, of course, Sis!"
"You wouldn't understand, Aria, since you didn't participate!"
Taking out their frustrations on her, Aria looked fed up.
Worried it might turn into a fight, I called out to them, "You did well. I think it was an effort unlike any before."
"The people who made it into the top 10 have been trained since childhood, training as if their lives depended on it. But both of you, didn't you gain something from losing?"
Aristo looked up.
"I've learned that there's always someone better above you... The world is wide, Shivans..."
"Lord Aristo, Jeff, this match doesn't mean your lives are over. Why not think of it as a good thing that you were able to reaffirm your frustration at losing and your lack of knowledge? As long as you're alive, a rematch is possible. In this world, there are many people who want to learn but can't, or who want to train but can barely manage to eat."
The two imagined the poor people and adventurers.
Still, I spoke to the dejected Jeff.
"Rather than a match just to beat someone, didn't you work hard for Lea? Am I wrong?"
"That's right... but I wanted to win! I wanted to show her a cool side of me!"
Just then, Lea appeared, said, "You were the coolest! I'm so happy you worked hard for me! I love you, Jeff!" and hugged and kissed him, receiving applause of blessing from those around.
Aristo watched Jeff with an envious look.
"I have nothing left anymore. Father ended up like that, and soon Uncle Kaoz will become the next head of the family. I'm going to become a commoner. What should I do, Shivans?"
Aristo looked like he was about to cry.
Those around him looked on with sympathy.
"Please remember the time we first met. For whose sake, Lord Aristo? For what purpose do you want to become strong and wise? You said you weren't a Sword Saint or a Great Sage, didn't you?"
He looked into the distance, remembering his childhood.
"That's right... Maybe I just wanted to be popular. I never wanted to protect the people of my domain like you, Shivans... I didn't know my people. But I do have the desire to be recognized by the world, like you, Shivans!"
The men who were watching said, "I know how you feel!" but the women had mixed reactions.
"There is one way. To distinguish yourself in this war. But it's not as easy as it sounds. The enemy is also risking their lives, you know!"
"Certainly, it's not easy... Unlike the monsters last time, this time the enemy is human. But I won't lose! I'll definitely win and make Limone and Carla happy!"
Had he already forgotten about Aria?
As I thought that, it seemed otherwise.
From what I heard, there were unofficial talks of the Imperial Family annulling the engagement with Aristo, who was losing his standing. It was about his position, but also about the blood thickness. Above all, it seemed they were also considering the growing distance between Aristo and Aria's feelings.
(That's something to think about later. But considering that Aristo, Jeff, Chris, and the Seven Idols are also in the ranks from 11th to 20th, it's quite impressive.)
I praised Chris and the Seven Idols, but they weren't satisfied.
"I can accept losing in swimming because women are physically inferior, but I can't accept losing in the studies and reports!"
Chris said this and was getting into an argument with the teacher.
The Seven Idols agreed and protested, so they were shown the answers of the top 10.
"They've observed even the smallest details..." Misuzu said, and Rinora agreed, "Indeed. They've even written about their feelings at this moment..."
"We were only listening to what we wanted to hear, weren't we..."
When Arina reflected on this, the other four and Chris also understood.
The men of the 'Shinobi' and the women of the 'Kunoichi' had spent a month at the Wizard Hotel observing the guests, and being able to notice various things was a big factor.
Upon learning this, Chris and the Seven Idols.
"That means we were just staring blankly every day!"
When Valentina said that, Ekaterina also said happily, "Awareness is so important!"
"Senior Shivans rebuilding my family home was also a kind of awareness, wasn't it!"
"That's right, Marfa. My family was also rebuilt with something unexpected!"
When Kira said this with shining eyes, the girls who didn't yet know their own families were developing were envious.
While the students were having their summer training camp.
Many nobles were leading their troops towards the western fort.
'The Duchy of Walujava will attack soon.'
Since Klaus did not deny this rumor, nobles from various regions showed various reactions.
'Honestly! War has a hundred harms and not a single benefit! Make diplomatic efforts to avoid war! His Majesty and the country are useless! A bunch of idiots!'
Some nobles like Count Zikismund said such things to avoid responsibility, but they forgot the premise that nobles exist only because His Majesty is there. Nobles who were still suffering from the last war didn't want to participate yet.
Other nobles sneered at such nobles.
'Are there still idiots like that? Don't they realize they'll be demoted for this? This is the last chance to get promoted by distinguishing yourself! Prepare to dispatch troops immediately!'
Baron Mercury, known as a military hawk, made his eldest son a general and sent 1000 soldiers westward.
Similarly, the families of the Traffic Light Trio and Carla's family also prepared to dispatch troops.
"Our house will join the war without needing to be told by Indigo!"
"Us too! But Frank's handwriting is as messy as ever!"
"Limone is eager to become Lord Aristo's wife. I must support her."
The three fathers were in close contact with Butler, whom they revered as their Leader.
They also contacted Carla's father and were asked, "It seems we are to support Lord Aristo's raiding party. Any objections?" and agreed, "Of course!"
At Viscount Marvellous's house, the uncle and Markun departed in place of the ailing head of the family.
Lion saw them off, muttering, "I hope they die..." and waved, laughing. The uncle and Markun held hands amicably and led 3000 soldiers towards the western fort.
Most nobles participated in the war reluctantly.
The Klaus family also made their fourth son a general and organized an army of twenty thousand.
"Man, I wanna play mahjong... Whoops, if I say stuff like this, I'll end up like my big brother Windam. That's dangerous!"
He was preparing for departure while making his soldiers laugh.
Meanwhile, Count Gran was preparing for a naval battle.
He gathered magic tool artisans and shipwrights by the sea and was researching the iron ship.
"This thing... uses technology and materials I've never seen before?"
"Lord? Where did you get this magic ship?"
"The power source uses a magic circuit, and magic has been applied in various places..."
"This paint over here is something I've never seen! What's going on with it..."
Gran himself didn't understand much and had called in magic tool artisans and shipwrights.
(Nobody understands it... If it breaks down, we're helpless, aren't we? I absolutely must have Shivans sleep with Rose and become his relative by marriage! I'm counting on you, Rose!)
That Rose was being trained by the butler and maids every day.
"Milady! That kind of language is no good!"
She was fed up with being scolded by the butler for her manners and speech.
"Milady! Do you think you can win Lord Shivans over with that underwear?"
"B-but... that panty gives me a wedgie and hurts my butt..."
"That language! No good!"
"Don't splash that liquid on me! I'll stop being myself..."
She was doused with Love Lotion and made to go into heat.
"You're looking nicely sexy! Come now! Let's learn proper speech and sexiness!"
"W-wait... I just want ships and weapons... I don't want to become a woman... Of course, I don't want to be a virgin forever, but... even if I'm trained like this..."
"No excuses! I'll apply more!"
The maids were training Rose with smiles on their faces.
As for me...
It was about the ten people who made it into the top 10.
The men of the 'Shinobi' seemed satisfied with having their debts cleared, but the women of the 'Kunoichi' were glaring with lust, wanting to do it...
Alpha of the 'Shinobi' men was reflecting, "We're still not good enough..."
"What's wrong, Alpha?"
I called out to him, but he was down.
"It's not just Alpha, but we were almost on par with the students..."
Gamma said regretfully.
"We want to retrain! Do you know any good place for that?"
"If that's the case, I know a good place, Delta!"
I used Instant Movement to take them to the dungeon north of the Imperial Capital.
When I told them they could also make money if they cleared the dungeon, everyone was happy.
"But please call us when the war comes! We'll train for that!"
"Of course, Sigma! I'm counting on you!"
The five of them were relieved by my words.
But one of them, Beta, found a hut for cruising and got excited.
"Lord Shivans! Can I... sleep there?"
"Sure, but Beta. Don't get too obsessed with that side of things."
"Of course! Thanks! Hey! I'm coming in too!"
The other four were surprised by the unexpectedly large number of Mohos.
Later, they would be attacked by Killer Gay Apes in the dungeon. They would learn of their existence when male adventurers were attacked, and they would understand why there were so many Mohos.
"Trying to drag me into a forbidden world! Die!"
Alpha hated Killer Gay Apes. He was about to have his clothes torn off and fought desperately.
"Hey, hey! You're getting a bit too worked up, Alpha?"
"Shut up! I hate them! You like them, don't you, Beta?"
"Well, yeah. But I don't want to do it willingly!"
His comrades were exasperated that this wasn't something to say with pride.
They could hear other adventurers screaming for help, but their voices soon turned into sweet moans.
"So that's how it ends up..."
As Gamma cowered, Delta said, "I can see why that hut is thriving... Not that I want to go..."
"Whatever happens, happens! Let's move on!"
Sigma said cheerfully, and they returned to exploring the dungeon.
After seeing them off, I returned to the summer training camp and, to let the students and the 'Kunoichi' women enjoy themselves at the sea, I had them play on the small hovercraft-type ship.
"However, if you interfere with fishing or cause trouble for others, I'll take it away. Also, those who want to participate in the naval battle need to practice and get used to seasickness..."
As I was saying this, Aristo immediately wanted to board.
So I decided to let the Traffic Light Trio, Carla, Kate, and Aria board as well.
The Marine Corps also wanted to train, so I prepared about 30 boats for practice.
That night, Aristo said he wanted to consult with me.
"What's wrong? Did you get seasick?"
"No! It's about Mother... I'm worried about what will happen to her..."
"Lord Klaus and Lady Marino must be in pain as well. If you distinguish yourself in this battle, won't everything go well? Rather than worrying now, first is the battle!"
"R-right! I'll win and distinguish myself! Shivans, you'll cooperate too!"
"Of course! Leave it to me!"
We were united in saving Aqua.
The question was how His Majesty and Klaus would react? I couldn't read them at all.
The next morning, Anne called out to me.
"We want to ride that thing too! It's okay, right?"
The female students, the 'Kunoichi' women, and Chris also wanted to ride the boat, so when I gave permission, they were all excited, squealing.
(They look happy...)
I returned to my territory and had the azuki beans harvested.
"Nice, Sera! This will be ready in time for the Autumn Party!"
"What can you make with this?"
"Just watch!"
I boiled them, discarded the water, boiled them again until soft, and made bean paste.
I prepared two types: smooth bean paste and chunky bean paste, thinking there might be preferences.
(First, anpan. Then, bean paste in pie crust would probably be a hit. And dorayaki is hard to give up! Making kanten and yokan would be good too, right?)
As I was happily making them, Sera came over, changed into a no-bra-no-panties miniskirt.
"Can I help with something?"
"If so, taste-test these! Are they delicious? If they are, I'll announce them at the Autumn Party!"
For now, I presented three types: anpan, baked pie with bean paste, and dorayaki.
"Oishi! Lord Shivans! These will definitely sell! No doubt about it!"
She stuffed her mouth full and said happily.
"If the war ends and the Autumn Party goes well, I'll hold you, Sera!"
She froze, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Are you serious... You won't say it was a lie or a joke later, will you?"
"Of course! A lie or joke like that wouldn't be funny, would it?"
"I... I'll make the party a success even if it means ruining the Cielo Trading Company!"
She's serious... So serious it's scary.
"O-okay. Just don't ruin the Cielo Trading Company..."
I headed to the Imperial Capital.
This was to have the bean paste I made sold at Jessica's bakery.
Jessica had started having morning sickness and looked rough, but she did taste it.
"Dad... This will definitely be a hit!"
"You think so too, Jessica? These three types aren't sold anywhere else... My soul as a baker is trembling!"
And so, her father and Marvin trained every day making anpan, baked pie with bean paste, and dorayaki. I also taught them a sandwich with fresh cream and bean paste.
"Dad! This... will definitely be a hit with girls!"
"You're right, Jessica. Looks like we're going to get busy!"
Then, three days later.
Word of mouth spread instantly upon release, and the Cielo Trading Company begged Sera, "Let us sell it! That's definitely Lord Shivans' doing, right?"
I also took the finished products to the palace and the Klaus residence.
When I went to the Klaus residence, Aqua whispered to me.
"I... might get kicked out of here?"
"If that happens, I'll ask for your hand in marriage!"
"My! Is something like that possible?"
"If we win this war, I'll ask for it even if I have to decline a promotion!"
Aqua cried tears of joy at my words.
When I headed to the palace, Klaus said, "Perfect timing. I was looking for you!"
Prince Jason, captured by the Iga Tribe, and the Foreign Minister of the Duchy of Walujava, captured by the Koka Tribe, were there.
"They say they 'received an advance payment of 10 million G from you.' Is that correct? If so, that's a great achievement! Well done!"
His Majesty himself seemed to be torturing Jason.
The Foreign Minister of the Duchy of Walujava seemed to have been carrying secret documents.
"What's this, the enemy had formed a Triple Alliance. It seems that if the Duchy of Walujava attacked our country, Hazard Country and Kieff Country were also planning to attack one after another..."
It was a chilling thought, but if used well, it could secure a considerable amount of labor. After hearing various things, I made a proposal.
It was to capture the soldiers of each country.
The Duchy of Walujava would probably suffer casualties, but the other two countries seemed to be planning to attack with at most about ten thousand troops each. And their initial plan was to infiltrate disguised as refugees.
"If they come little by little, that's even more convenient. We can just capture them as soon as they cross the border. Of course, I will also assist!"
If we capture the messengers leaving the Duchy of Walujava and manipulate things to our advantage, anything is possible.
(If Hazard Country and Kieff Country don't attack during the summer, they'll be snowed in during winter and unable to move. If they become hostages, they can work for us for half a year! And replacing the national lord is essential. It should make it easier for Milfe to return to Kieff Country too!)
Looks like I'm going to get busy again.
First, I reported to Prince Richard, who was at the border with Hazard Country.
"I see. Then we'll strengthen the border security..."
"No. I'm against that. On the contrary, let's loosen it to lure them in!"
We would capture them once they entered, put slave marks on them, and bring them over to our side.
We deliberately made it loose, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
Gradually, there were even guys who came in boldly wearing military uniforms, not disguised as refugees.
"Hey, hey... Even as an enemy, I'm worried for them?"
"Tell me about it! The security is full of holes..."
Without realizing this carelessness would be fatal, they were captured the moment they entered the city.
When we took the same measures at the border with Kieff Country, they were captured amusingly easily.
Seeing this, the First Imperial Prince Vista and Blade couldn't stop laughing.
"They're completely underestimating us!"
"Right into our trap, Blade! They don't know they're getting slave marks one after another, do they? I never thought it would be this easy..."
And so, we continued this operation until the enemy realized it.
The end of the summer training camp break was approaching.
"Lord Shivans! Please take care of us soon!"
Anne, with a lustful look on her face, approached me.
So I took the five of them to the White Castle.
"This place is amazing too!"
Due looked up at the castle, impressed.
When they went inside, Trois shouted, "Wow! So beautiful!"
"Are we going to live here from now on?"
Quatre, looking around, was also impressed by the pool.
At night, Cinq was captivated by the beauty of the night view.
"Being able to make babies here is the best!"
She went out onto the roof balcony and shouted.
We ate delicious food, drank a little alcohol, and bathed together.
Probably the winner of rock-paper-scissors, Trois, stepped forward and took my hand, leading me to the bed.
"Lord Shivans... Please make us your wives, even if just until the war..."
She lay down naked and spread her legs wide.
"I, Trois, will now become my husband's. I offer my virginity and my womb, and I will do anything. So please take me!"
She spread her arms, welcoming me in.
Her crotch was so wet that just a kiss made my leg wet.
"Lord Shivans... I've wanted this for so long! Do you hate a slutty woman?"
"Let's love each other a lot, Trois!"
"Yes... I'm so happy!"
She hugged me tightly, so I first made her cum with caresses.
"I'm... cumming! Your tongue and hands feel so good, Lord Shivans!"
I made her orgasm many times and took her virginity.
"It was... so good..."
After I had her do Cleaning Fellatio and put her to sleep, Anne came next.
Similarly, I first melted her with caresses.
(I'll take my time holding them from now on!)
I held each of the five once and welcomed the morning.
After finishing the buffet breakfast, we got them looking beautiful at the beauty salon and then went to buy swimsuits.
"Now! Let's play!"
When we headed to the water slide, they were scared at first, but once they got used to it, they started squealing and acting like lovers.
Anne almost had a wardrobe malfunction when she slid down.
"How calculating! You deliberately chose a small swimsuit, didn't you?"
"N-no, I didn't, Due! My boobs got bigger from Lord Shivans squeezing them! And it's harder to make sure no other men see me!"
When she put it that way, they had to agree.
After about three days, everyone became proactive.
"Ahhn♡ Lord Shivans... Quatre is going to squirt already♡"
"You perverted slut, wiggling that thin waist and craving a dick!"
"That's right! I am a slave to Lord Shivans' huge cock♡ Look! My womb is already obeying♡ Shoot your cum deep inside me♡"
On all fours, she shook her hips in time with my movements.
Anne spread her legs and had Quatre perform cunnilingus on her, Due and Trois squeezed Quatre's breasts, and Cinq kissed me.
Quatre panted like crazy and squirted.
"I can't take it anymore♡ I'm going crazy from cumming too much♡ Lord Shivans, pull out! Quatre is going to break♡"
When I came inside her a lot, she convulsed violently.
After a week, the women were even performing fellatio by the poolside.
"If I do it here, other people will see my pussy♡"
"Then you won't do it, Due?"
"No♡ Stick it in so no one can see♡ I'm already soaking wet! I've become really perverted, haven't I? Do you like Due like this?"
"You're a lovely wife!"
"If you say things like that... I'll become even more lewd!"
The other four formed a wall, and they had become women who were ready to respond anytime.
Two weeks passed.
"Lord Shivans... if you lick me that much, Cinq will go crazy!"
"What are you saying? Cinq's pussy is saying it wants to be sucked this much! See! Spread your legs wider!"
It was what Cinq, who loved cunnilingus, had wanted, but...
"I-it is, but... there's even a finger in my ass! I'm cumming! Everything's coming out... Aaah... Aaahn... Ah, ah, aah...!"
She squirted both her juices and pee, writhing and shaking her body violently.
"I'm so happy! Aah! 'I love you' isn't enough! I'm cumming again! Aaaa!"
Seeing this, the other four were also waiting, spreading their legs wide and masturbating.
"Should we do it outside? I don't care if people see anymore!"
Anne would even take it in her mouth outside.
When I shifted her swimsuit, squeezed her breasts, and played with her nipples, she squirted.
"Do you like Anne like this?"
"I love you, Anne!"
"Hehe! I love you too! First, I want to drink your sperm♡"
They had become five women who would respond anytime, anywhere.
