Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: One Week
As soon as I returned, I called Emilia and Reimi to my room, worrying they might be fed up with me, but that fear proved unfounded.
"I've been starving too, so I'm going to make you let me come first!"
Reimi quickly stripped off her clothes and immediately assumed a 69 position. When I twisted my tongue into her pussy, slipped a finger into her ass, and had her suck my cock, she was delighted.
"All my lewd holes are being filled! This is it! I'm being ravished by my beloved man, and my body is drunk on pleasure!"
Then, once I got big, we shifted to missionary position.
"My dried-up slutty pussy is rejoicing! You can let out plenty, okay! If you shoot thick semen, I might get pregnant even with contraception!"
When I showed a little worry, she said, "It's fine. If it's your child! We'll cross that bridge when we come to it! I'll properly give birth for you! If you're a man, thrust in boldly and give a grand creampie! Make the woman rejoice!" So I let it out without reservation.
"Geez! You really didn't hold back at all. That's what I love about you!"
Her cleaning fellatio was enthusiastic too. Next, when I attacked Emilia in doggy style, Reimi spread her legs in front of Emilia and had her lick her pussy.
"You're good, Emilia! There... lick the clit too... and play with my nipples!"
"I can taste Rei-nee's love juices mixed with Shivan's semen from your lewd pussy, and it's incredibly delicious! I'm... so turned on! I'm going to come again!"
Emilia, thrust into from behind by me, convulsed. I also got to watch the two of them in lesbian play, and excited, I kept embracing them until midnight, falling asleep with a flower in each hand.
When I woke up, Reimi was giving me a titty fuck fellatio with her huge breasts.
"You love it, right, Shivan? My huge-breasted titty fuck fellatio!"
"Yeah! The pressure of your tits feels amazing on my cock, and I love how you suck out my semen with your vacuum fellatio, Reimi!"
I kept her sandwiched until I came on her chest.
It splattered on her face and body, but she rubbed it in like lotion.
"If I go to work smelling of semen, I get scolded, you know... Personally, I love the scent of my lover. I mean, you put it on me because you love me, so it'd be a waste, right?"
I couldn't help but embrace and kiss her. "If I ever want to get pregnant, I'll just stop the contraception on my own... Is that okay? Do you want to knock me up?" she asked, and when I nodded, she said, "I love you too! So when that time comes... make me your mistress!" and held me tight.
"I intended this to be just until I found another man, but that's no good. I've been completely captivated."
She changed clothes just like that and tried to leave for work, so I cast Clean on her. "It would've been fine even if I got scolded..." she said, but I wasn't okay with it.
Emilia was exhausted and asleep, so I left her sleeping and headed to the new territory.
The territory capital lies east of the large highway. On the mountaintop west of the highway is a fort with a watchtower. A tunnel has been dug beneath that highway. The road connecting the territory capital and the fort is complete. The fort, like a mountain castle, is reinforced with beautiful stone walls, and an easy-to-walk mountain path has been made.
However, neither the territory capital nor the fort is complete, though a large number of construction laborers are working.
(This is my territory!)
The territory capital was finished in a shape close to my ideal.
At the circular center, the lord's manor sits at a slightly elevated position. It is composed of roads extending radially and large ring roads on the outside and inside. The perimeter is surrounded by a moat using spring water and rivers, designed to block enemy intrusion.
On the first floor of the lord's manor, Passo was already working with other clerks on the resident registry and land zoning.
"Lord Shivan! How many tens of thousands of people do you intend to settle in this wasteland?"
"Hmm? I plan to make it capable of accommodating even 100,000 people. Is that strange?"
It seems Passo wanted to say that for a barony's territory capital, around 2,000 people at most is common sense, and 5,000 at the very maximum.
"Furthermore, I intend to create more than ten villages. Your common sense, Passo, is going to be overturned. Now, things are about to get busy!"
There are 1,000 people just among the construction workers. He seemed surprised by this fact.
"Just building this territory capital involves moving 1 Billion G! And villages on top of that..."
Passo looked ready to faint.
"Speaking of which, five finance officers will be coming. They're from Cielo Trading Company. Along with them, many merchants and artisans will likely come too, so I'm counting on you for what follows!"
"Hah... Understood... But five finance officers, huh. That's appreciated!"
Passo was still thinking about it lightheartedly.
I set up several service areas along the highway. I equipped them with full water and sewage systems, made restroom breaks possible, and set up shops.
Furthermore, I tilled the wasteland with earth magic, and for the strongly acidic soil, I mixed in slaked lime and let the land rest. I also actively made compost from leaf mold using fallen leaves from the mountains. I aged it with alchemy and tilled it with earth magic.
(This year can't be helped. It's a year of patience. Next year, I'll make it explode all at once!)
That said, it's a vast territory. There will be no explosion without everyone's cooperation.
I worked on the land until evening, then returned home via instant movement.
And tonight, it's just Emilia.
"Call Rei-nee too... With just me... I'm going to cum agaaaain!"
"Like this, you love being pinched on the nipples and thrust into from behind, don't you! Your body has become completely perverted!"
She let out moans of pleasure while cumming over and over.
"The reason I'm so perverted is because you make me cum over and over with your big cock! It feels so good! Aah! I can't breathe anymore... I'm going to die!"
When I whispered that I was going to cum inside, she nodded.
"You can cum anywhere! Hurry up and cum! My slutty pussy is going to break!"
When I came inside, she had also developed the habit of cumming together. Panting and breathless, she performed cleaning fellatio.
"Did you find someone to replace us? Please, find someone..."
Saying that, she fell asleep.
The Next Morning
I returned to the Klaus family home again. At noon, Tima was happy; in the evening, Noah was happy; and at night, Aqua was happy for me. In between, I took care of the pigeons, and the next day, I brought the pigeons and the hawk and headed to the new territory.
(If I use Hawk Eye while repeating small instant movements, I'll arrive at the new territory by noon!)
By the time I arrived, the three members of 'Shivans' Guard' and Sera, along with the five from Cielo Trading Company, had already arrived and were listening to Passo explain the town.
"The concept of this town is a water city. Water and sewage systems are fully equipped. The excrement and urine you all excrete will be temporarily stored, and after the harvest is finished, it will flow from the waterways to the fields, becoming nutrients and allowing planting again next spring. Also..."
Listening to Passo's endless explanation, they wore fed-up expressions, yet they were people who couldn't hide their amazement at the town's functions and the lord's manor. The five finance officers, in particular, seemed to have come thinking, "What are we supposed to do in some remote backwater?"
Meanwhile, to motivate the people from the slums, I cast 'Adrenaline' and 'Dopamine' on them, then had them get along with the people who had been there from the start. Immediately, I had them live in a nearby village and engage in agriculture.
I similarly cast 'Adrenaline' and 'Dopamine' on the villagers to motivate them as well.
The artisans who had been working on the lord's manor couldn't leave.
Requests came pouring in one after another.
"What's going on? Suddenly, a huge crowd of merchants, leatherworkers, even blacksmiths are coming..."
Not only that, various guilds from the imperial capital came asking Passo for permission to set up branch offices or sub-branches.
"What should I do, Lord Shivan?"
"Don't ask me every single thing! That's why I gave you the authority, isn't it? Before, you were rotting in a workplace with no authority, but now that you've been given it, you can't use it?"
Yaris teased him, saying he got scolded by me.
"In the end, was your head just as tiny?"
"Shut up, you ugly hag! I'll do it! With my power, I'll develop this town!"
Even regarding the servants for this lord's manor, Passo had been asking me, "What should we do?" So if he thought they were necessary, he should just interview and hire them himself.
Seeing this, the five finance officers and Sera were giggling, so I gave them a warning.
"I will not be giving you specific instructions either. Think and act for yourselves, and bear all responsibility for both success and failure. If I had to say one thing, it's simply 'Achieve maximum effect with minimum effort.' Someone under Mr. Cielo is likely watching all of us, including me, somewhere. You should be aware that from today, from this moment, all your actions are being observed. Do your best so that you aren't sent back midway."
Surprised by my words, the five and Sera looked around at their surroundings. The five and Sera hurriedly tried to move into action, but when told to move, they didn't know what to do or how.
"Hey, Lord Shivan! Give me a hint!"
She asked while unbuttoning her chest and showing her beautiful breasts.
"Then here's one. Even when constructing a building, there's such a thing as efficiency, right? Next to a blacksmith, it's clanging and noisy—do you think that's good for business? Though it would be fine if you're running a weapon shop."
Her breasts got close enough to touch my face, and she said, "I want a little more."
"If you're doing finance, being near the security bureau where Vel is would be reassuring, for example. There's no way you can run an efficient business without knowing the town's layout. If Passo hasn't noticed that much, you could make a map and point out what's odd, and everyone would think, 'That makes sense,' right?"
She nodded happily, pressing her breasts against my face and hugging me. When I instinctively licked them, she hugged me even tighter.
"I... love you, who is smart, handsome, and has a great personality!"
Saying that, she closed her top and said, "I'm going to walk around town and make a map!" The five immediately swarmed around Sera.
"You all don't understand the finance that Lord Shivan speaks of. If you came here just to keep books, there'd be no need for five people, right? Surely, Father saw through that and sent five of you. In other words, anyone without a sense close to management will be sent back."
Those words made the five even more panicked.
The three members of 'Shivans' Guard' left the territory capital, walked along a promenade, climbed a mountain path, and arrived at the fort with an observation deck.
"Whoa! This place is amazing! You can see everything in 360 degrees!"
As Yaris was excited, Regias asked Vel, "What's this?" It was a 'Fluorescent Flower.'
"You can tell by looking, can't you? You're only two years older than me, and you've already gone senile? It's a Fluorescent Flower."
Regias complained that you could indeed tell just by looking.
"What I meant was the size. I've never seen one this big... With this, it seems like we could spot even distant enemies."
He nodded, agreeing that was certainly true.
"Is that young master really 13 years old? What was I doing when I was 13?"
"How should I know! So, is the security going to be okay, Vel?"
"We won't know until we try, but we have the dogs, so I think we'll manage somehow."
The three descended the mountain with the setting sun at their backs.
That day, everyone ate together in the dining hall of the lord's manor. When I said those who wanted to drink alcohol could, Vel and Regias invited Passo.
"What's wrong, Passo? Have you reached your limit?"
"Shut up, Vel! I... shouldn't be like this..."
Then Regias said, as if making a resolution, "That's right. Believe in yourself! You only think 'this is my limit,' so that becomes your limit. Unless the young master says 'you're not capable,' I believe in myself that I can still do more!"
"Well, Regias is right. The young master is only 13 and carries the future of all his territory's people on his shoulders, right? What we carry is just a tiny part, yeah? Throwing that away would be pathetic as adults, wouldn't it? Let's grit our teeth in our hearts, keep a smile on our faces, and support the young master! If you don't like it, you can just step down."
Vel's words struck the five finance officers too. They toasted to working hard together. The unfortunate thing was that not a single one of the women was watching Vel, who was being so cool.
The Next Morning
I took 'Shivans' Guard,' Sera, Passo, and the five finance officers via instant movement to my family's territory and introduced them to my parents, Gale, Ben, and Emilia.
Sensing an intimidating presence emanating from the man who introduced himself as Baron Butler von O'Brien, Regias and Vel were tense.
"I see. Everyone, please take good care of my son."
"The boy has subordinates? I must be getting old too."
Everyone chuckled, finding it funny that Gale called me "the boy."
"I'm Emilia! I'm 14 now! And you all?"
"I'm Yaris. 16! I'm allowed to serve as a commander. Emilia is B-Rank? That's amazing!"
"I'm Sera. 15! I'm in charge of finance. Emilia, you and Lord Shivan are, um..."
She stopped herself mid-sentence and invited her to go into the hot spring together.
"Everyone, take a dip in our proud hot spring!"
At Gale's suggestion, all the men ended up going in too.
In the bath, Gale introduced himself, and Passo immediately started asking questions.
"Well, it's tough, right? That boy is a genius. Sometimes he does things like a contrarian move in gambling, and it hits the jackpot. He's succeeded by doing things ordinary people can't understand. But I won't forgive anyone who thinks he's just a kid and tries to mock or imitate him. Just remember that."
Everyone wanted to say they'd never do that, nor could they.
Seeing their expressions, Gale laughed as if relieved.
Meanwhile, Emilia, Yaris, and Sera were having a girls' gathering.
"My first time was when I was 12, I think? Since then, every day except that one day..."
The two screamed.
"Do you two feel like being embraced? You don't need to hold back for my sake. But if you don't have the stamina, it's tough, you know? Especially the next morning..."
Her words carried real experience, so the two listened intently to Emilia's story.
"I'm still a virgin, though..."
"Actually, me too..."
As their senior, she gave them various advice. She instructed them on shaving and hair removal, using shampoo and conditioner and soap, saying, "You have to keep yourself clean every day!"
Since I had finished my greetings, I was about to head back too, when Butler said in a gentle, coaxing voice, "Haven't you been getting rusty lately?"
"I'm not rusty! Damn it! Someone...!"
I was treated like a worn-out rag. "Still not enough. Your training is insufficient!" said Father Butler, leaving with a satisfied look on his face.
"I thought the young master was the strongest swordsman... but that man is a monster..."
"Yeah. My instincts are telling me absolutely never to make an enemy of him."
Wiping cold sweat, Vel agreed with Regias's opinion.
We returned to the lord's manor via instant movement, and I sent the pigeons flying.
(For now, all five of you, make it to the Klaus family!)
I was worried, so I sent Hawk along as an escort.
The next day, all five returned in good health, and Hawk seemed to be asking for praise. From Klaus, only the reply, 'This is usable,' came back. Aristo had apparently told Aria about this right away, and wrote that he wanted to let her exchange letters with Sera.
So I immediately flew to the Klaus family's place and had a meeting.
"If we mass-produce these collars, the pigeons will faithfully deliver letters. The military will likely need them too, so wouldn't the Imperial Family also want to obtain information?"
It seems Klaus had promptly reported to His Majesty. His Majesty also seemed enthusiastic and eager, but since they don't know where spies might be, they apparently want to proceed cautiously.
"It's not exactly for that reason, but please tell them that for a while, Aria and Sera should exchange letters via fast horse."
I replied that I understood, and then he asked how the new territory was going.
"I apologize for causing even Your Excellency concern. For this one year, I am prepared for a deficit. However, next year should be about break-even. The year after next, I am targeting a profit."
Truthfully, I want to make it profitable next year, but I didn't want to be thought of as a 13-year-old making grandiose boasts, so I chose a safe answer.
"Also, Your Excellency. Pigeons have strong reproductive power, so if we raise them rather than just catching them, their numbers will increase quickly. I believe it's more reliable to focus not on capturing them, but on finding people who can raise and train them."
He immediately gave instructions to do so.
Exactly one week had passed since we arrived at the new territory.
The initiative for town zoning was completely in Sera's hands, and she was being called the 'Commerce Minister' behind her back.
"Are you an idiot! The west gate, the only place people enter and exit, should be a bustling district! We should be inviting souvenir shops, inns, taverns, and brothels! You virgin blockhead!"
Passo was being torn to pieces.
"I am indeed a virgin, but is it really that strange? What does everyone think?"
Everyone told him he had "no business sense" or "you're smart, but an idiot," and he was depressed. And when he immediately tried to rely on me, he was warned to "Stop it."
"Leave the town zoning to me! You virgin, go do some office work or something!"
"Shut up! You're a virgin yourself!"
"My virginity is desired, but your virginity is just dirty, isn't it!"
When I complained, asking what kind of meeting this was, Sera glared at me, saying, "It's your fault! Even I got scolded by Lord Shivan..."
"Isn't it about time the finance people are running out of work?"
At my words, the five stiffened.
"So, I will give you all work. Rejoice!"
I called the five and had them draw lots. Each had a village name written on it.
"Go to that village, become the Acting Lord and Village Chief, and develop the village. This will eventually benefit you. How well can you gain the villagers' cooperation? And can you make the village profitable and develop it? Are you the kind of talent Mr. Cielo can entrust a branch store to? I'm sure this event will serve as a great reference, don't you think?"
When I spoke while looking in another direction, something seemed to move.
The five who saw this were terrified, thinking, "As expected, someone under Mr. Cielo is watching."
Initially, the five had come in a sightseeing mood.
"It's that, right? Whether to marry the young lady off to the 13-year-old head of the family?"
"They're telling us to evaluate him, I suppose?"
"That's about it, right? Let's just look around casually and go home!"
"Wait, wait. They dispatched us, who are said to be excellent, you know?"
"I'll take my time and thoroughly evaluate that youngster's competence!"
They had arrived with a condescending attitude, with little motivation for work.
(Our thinking was naive... This boy had seen through what we were thinking long ago... Furthermore, this kind of method is something Mr. Cielo would be delighted by...)
Their initial naive thoughts were completely blown away, and they acutely felt they had been thrust into a survival competition where their futures were at stake.
"If I come in last among the five... I'll be branded incompetent and have no future..."
"No... it's the same if I run a deficit and fail to gain the villagers' trust."
"It's not about being last! On the contrary, if all five of us become profitable, our evaluation should rise!"
"Remember Lord Shivan's words!"
"That's right. He said, 'Bear all responsibility for both success and failure,' didn't he?"
Now that they mentioned it, that was true! they recalled.
"First, gain credibility and be trusted! Gather subordinates! It's a strategy meeting! I will absolutely become number one and be evaluated by Lord Shivan!"
Each of the five gathered subordinates and held strategy meetings.
(I've nicely played along with Cielo's scheme. Hearing this report, Cielo is probably laughing right about now.)
That was exactly right.
"Look at this report. Shivan has started something interesting again!"
Cielo laughed as he showed the report to his wife. It was densely filled with the details of the five desperately being made to compete.
"That's all well and good, but has that child still not managed to seduce Shivan-kun?"
"It seems so. He doesn't seem like a blockhead, but maybe it was impossible for Sera?"
His wife shook her head, saying that wasn't true.
"That child takes after me—she's smart and likes handsome men! There's no need to rush; if young men and women are close to each other, it will happen naturally!"
Saying that, she clung to Cielo.
At that time, I was at my family home.
"Hey, Shivan... why do you come back every night?"
"That's unexpected. Emi-nee, aren't you happy that I come back?"
It wasn't that, but she said her body couldn't take it as she was being embraced.
For my part, I wanted to say that I can't casually embrace Regias's daughter and Cielo's daughter.
Pulled close by me, she sought help from Reimi.
"Rei-nee... wake up soon!"
"I was just kissed by Emilia, had my breasts caressed, and had my slutty pussy ravished by Shivan. My body still has no strength, so my lewd pussy is being made to cum over and over and is convulsing. Emilia's breasts... I'll lick them for you. You like that, right?"
I murmured that I did like it, and as Reimi licked me carefully, I screamed like mad, "I'm cumming cumming cumming again!"
"We've completely fallen into this perverted play, haven't we! We can't go back to other men now! We're Shivan's women, after all!"
Reimi clung to me, said, "I love you," and kissed me, then continued making Emilia cum again.
