Chapter 87 - 87: The Creeping Shadows
The imperial capital of the East Empire.
A single man was lost in twilight at the army training ground.
It was General Cooper, but there were no soldiers to lend him a hand.
The rumors had spread completely.
(I'll be killed soon... Since when has His Majesty suspected me? No... someone tried to oust me...)
He was acutely aware of his lack of popularity.
"Sorry about this, General. We're busy with our own things, you see."
"You bastard... repaying kindness with malice! What is the meaning of this?"
The captain of the engineer squad sneered at the general's words.
"Hmph! Kindness? You're the only one who thinks that. We might have a debt to you, but there's no kindness! Don't you have no time to be lazing around here? Is that okay? You've only got seven days left to live, right?"
Being made a fool of, he got angry at each and every one of them, but it was too late now. He had already become an existence like air, and no one even saluted or greeted him. However, he pondered why he was suffering such a fate. But General Cooper had absolutely no idea.
(If it's come to this, I have no choice but to rely on my family home...)
His family home was a count's family. His older brother, the eldest son, had now inherited the family headship, but he worried whether he could borrow people or soldiers. However, he realized it wouldn't be in time now.
Thinking it was worth a try, he relied on construction-related contractors, but they mocked him, saying, "Building something like this in just one week? It's obviously impossible, isn't it? Don't be such a complete idiot."
(Should I just run away...?)
Wrapped in despair, Cooper wept.
At the Adventurer Guild, it was decided by His Majesty's order to hold preliminary rounds every day. I was to set up an instant death prevention barrier at the exam venue.
"Those wishing to take the knight exam, come here! Be sure to receive your certificate of passing. You cannot take the exam without receiving it!"
Former soldiers and retired former adventurers were the examiners. Taking wooden swords in hand, they conducted the preliminary rounds against various people: adventurers, former soldiers, former mercenaries, former bandits, and the like. A large number fought within the instant death prevention barrier I had set up.
From noon, I went to the hospital and received various reports from Praha.
"Marco-sensei, surprisingly, has sociability and has been made to specialize in the elderly, so he is well-received by the old folks."
Sociability, huh... that's a nice way to put it.
"Next, Miguel-sensei. Despite his communication disorder, he surprisingly talks well with children. Women still seem to be no good for him, though... As for the seemingly frivolous Livia-sensei, she is surprisingly well-received for accepting and treating all nighttime patients."
From Praha's perspective, the three still seem quite hopeless, but he seems to be properly seeing their good points as well.
"What about the situation with the shop, cafeteria, pool, bath, and daycare center?"
"People working in every department say, 'This is the best hospital in the world,' and take pride in it with conviction. The customer service manners are, of course, excellent, and the shop staff are pleasing every customer. The cafeteria is also fully packed day after day, morning, noon, and night."
Saying so, he showed me the income and expenditure report. It was a considerable surplus amount.
"For the pool and bath, we are thinking of shifting to a 24-hour system due to customer requests. For the daycare center, there are many requests to 'leave children there,' so we are also considering nighttime childcare in the future."
Recently, young fellows from the underworld, dressed neatly, have been voluntarily guarding the hospital. The security uniforms I made for fun became popular as "Cool!", and I said I'd give uniforms and wages to those who are kind and gentle, so public order has improved, and even more patients and customers have been coming.
When I went outside, Maron was waiting. Showing me her purple string panties from under her miniskirt, she went around to the back with a lustful expression. Opening the front of her blouse, she removed her bra and let me fondle her breasts while she deliciously sucked my cock.
"Even though Maron is recently called a neat and beautiful wife or mother, and is popular even with young boys. I wonder what would happen if people knew you're in a place like this, having your chest groped by me, making your nipples rock hard, and sucking my cock with abandon? The thought of being seen by someone in a place like this excites you too, doesn't it, Maron?"
Saying that, I shifted her panties aside, and her pussy twitched, dripping love juices drop by drop.
"That's right! It's your fault, Sensei, for making a married woman suck your cock in a place like this and getting her excited! And it's not that I want to be seen! Betraying my husband, loving you, and doing something wrong is what excites me! Hurry... embrace me! My body has already become unable to sleep without being held by you every day! My husband is no good!"
When I brought her to my room, she immediately got completely naked, faced the bed, and spread her legs wide.
"It's definitely thanks to you, Sensei, that I became beautiful! Before, I suffered from my husband's cheating and lack of money. My personality was harsh, my skin was rough, and everyone said I had a stern face... But now, I've become surprisingly lewd. I finally feel like I've become womanly! So, if it's not your cock, Sensei, I'll fall apart."
Saying she wants to become even lewder, she clung to me.
"Only Sensei can use Maron's now-naughty body! It's already become a pussy my husband doesn't know! Make me pregnant with your sperm for the next child, Sensei!"
When I came inside her plenty, she trembled, said "I'm so happy!", clung to me, and gave me a deep kiss. Maron smiled and said, "Anytime, anywhere, anything!", and performed cleaning fellatio.
After Maron changed and left, I slipped out of the hospital and went to meet the underworld boss.
"Shivans-sama? What business do you have today?"
He had a puzzled look, so I got straight to the point. It was a proposal to start a security company.
"What exactly... do you mean by that?"
"Boss, don't you want to become a prominent figure in the legitimate world too?"
Right now, in this imperial capital, the military police aren't functioning that well, so public order is bad. Therefore, besides the hospital, there are many who desire security, like big merchants and noble mansions.
"So, if you can gain the trust of nobles and big merchants, Boss, you can make a name for yourself as a prominent figure in this city. Especially, it would be a source of pride for your children and grandchildren, wouldn't it? And what's more. If anyone tries to misuse this security company, as long as you maintain the underworld, you can easily dispose of them. As a self-policing company of justice, you should be able to gain credibility and trust! Moreover, nobles and big merchants care about appearances. They'd want to avoid being said, 'That place doesn't use security,' right?"
He leaned forward and asked, "W-What should I do?" So I said, "First is personnel selection. If you have a splendid company building, people will think it's a good company, right? Pay them a monthly salary of 10,000 G. Excellent young people should gather in droves!" He decided to equip the company building with appropriate facilities.
First, people with a sense of justice, who are kind and gentle, are desirable. On the other hand, they must be people who show no mercy to villains. I told him that those who excel in martial arts, have the leg strength to pursue criminals, and lack physical stamina are no good.
"In other words, they are the elite of the elite. They'll definitely be popular with women too!"
Everyone fired up at these words. This was a chance to break free from being social outcasts. So, when I asked them to capture dogs and wolves, everyone eagerly rushed out, wanting to show their best.
"We've captured them!"
Then, I had the one best at hiding volunteer and asked, "Lend me what you're wearing." And I had him hide somewhere invisible to everyone. I had the dogs I tamed sniff the scent and commanded, "Pursue!" They barked in front of where he was hiding.
"If you train and use dogs like this, it should be possible not only to pursue criminals but also to capture them. You can also quickly notice approaching enemies and launch attacks!"
At my words, everyone cheered "Ooooh!" and applauded.
"Boss, you can show your customers how well-trained the security soldiers and dogs are. Seeing it will be more persuasive. As a result, won't customers want to hire them even if they pay a high price?"
The boss nodded repeatedly, eager to get started right away.
When I returned to the inn, the four teams of 【Stranger】【Jupiter】【Moon Beauty】【White Tiger】had gathered, drinking and eating. A drunk Nick complained.
"You guys are slacking off!"
First, he mentioned the forbidden relationship between Roland and Ralph. He was also displeased that the remaining two of Stranger and the two women of Jupiter had been flirting.
"Naron and Celia are married women, aren't they! And yet, they're dressed like they're seducing men."
Clothes like cabaret club dresses and erotic underwear. They exuded a bewitching allure.
"Sion, Iara, Tanny too. What's with that getup at your age?"
They were wearing bodycon dresses with deeply open chests, and miniskirts that exposed their thighs.
"Leila, Miki, Maya, do you have any self-awareness as adventurers?"
They wore off-shoulder tops that perfectly showed their chests and exposed their navels. Their pleated miniskirts looked like their erotic panties were almost visible. Then, Ralph opened his mouth.
"I don't think there's any problem with who I do what with? Did I cause you some trouble, Nick?"
The other three of Stranger laughed, saying, "Aren't you just jealous because no one pays attention to you?" Naron and Celia also said, "What's wrong with enjoying a life that only comes once?"
As for Sion, Iara, and Tanny, Iara said, "Old man! I knew you had feelings for Sion. The current Sion is reputed to be a super-transcendent beautiful girl, after all." Tanny giggled and finished Nick off, laughing, "Trying to get attention by badmouthing, what you're doing is just childish! Super lame."
White Tiger had something they were troubled about, not joining that conversation. When I appeared and asked, "What's the matter?", Leila came over as if wagging her tail.
"We want to take the exam in one week. But we don't have a place for special training."
"There's a good place. Follow me!"
Everyone looked startled and followed in a crowd. Our destination was the army. When I called Gary, he appeared immediately. I asked, "Is there a training facility with a roof?" and he replied, "There is! I'll guide you!"
Then, from the front, a person called a unit commander, dressed in glittering attire and leading a large crowd, walked towards us. His flattery-skilled underling complained at me.
"You! Won't you clear the way! Who do you think this person is? This is Avocado-sama, the unit commander attached to the Third Army Commander-in-Chief!"
He intimidated me loudly, but I wasn't scared at all.
"You guys came later, didn't you? Move it, quickly! You're in the way!"
When I roared with intimidation and bloodlust, everyone collapsed to the ground.
"Unit commander, you say? What achievements have you had until now? You bastards, who have never stood on a battlefield or defeated an enemy, have some nerve trying to intimidate me! Draw your swords! I am here by His Majesty's imperial command! If you're soldiers too, you can just defeat me and then go!"
Hearing the words 'imperial command' in my speech, they cowered.
And when I said, "I'll say it one more time! Draw your swords!", everyone said "Imperial command," wet themselves, and shook their heads with tearful eyes.
"You bastards have obstructed me, who came here by His Majesty's order. You shall receive a suitable punishment. All of you, build a training ground together with General Cooper. It's within one week, so it's a simple matter, right? With earth magic, it can be done in two days."
I promptly sent them to the training ground.Incidentally, I found other good-for-nothing people and threw them in one after another.
I asked the engineer squad unit, "I have a request. Please become instructors and train them strictly." I told Gary, "If they try to run away, you can kill them without mercy." The perimeter of the training ground would be watched under a 24-hour system.
Then, Unit Commander Avocado complained with tearful eyes, "What did we even do..."
"You idiot, you have nothing to be proud of but your status. Despite having no abilities, you stood above others and caused many slaves to die. That is a sin of not knowing the suffering of the non-commissioned officers. So, eat and sleep with them, and realize the hardships of the soldiers and those who died!"
At my words, the people of the engineer squad and Gary's unit were moved.
"Right, right. You idiot, despite being a fool, you have no sense of guilt. The same goes for General Cooper over there!"
The captain of the engineer squad laughed as he said that, and the other engineer squad members instructed them while laughing, "You guys have nothing but status! At least use your bodies and work! Gyahaha!"
I gave instructions to Gary.Until toilets are built, let them do it around there. In the morning and evening, bathe in the nearby river. Meals are the same coarse food as the lowest soldiers. Sleeping, of course, on the ground is fine. When I told him this, he replied energetically, "Of course! Understood!"
The four teams of 【Stranger】【Jupiter】【Moon Beauty】【White Tiger】moved out of the inn. They decided to move into the official residences that the unit commanders had been using. The soldiers were delighted that many beautiful women had come. The bath in the official residence became women-only.
In the meantime, I built a training area and made it possible to summon golems with summoning magic.Level 1 had normal strength. Level 2 had increased power and speed. Level 3 was even larger, with both power and speed.
So, I had everyone start from Level 1.
"Throw one magic stone towards that magic circle, and one golem will appear. Two stones for two golems, and so on. If you can summon and defeat three Level 1 golems, you can move up to Level 2."
Everyone shouted "Ohh!" in delight. Sion, who had recently become hugely popular in town and was called a 'super-transcendent beautiful girl,' clung to me, saying, "Amazing, Shi-chan!" When I stroked her slightly larger lazy butt, she smiled and said, "It's a T-back, Shi-chan's favorite ♡."
"It's okay to blast magic, but please practice swordsmanship first. Also, even though instant death prevention is applied, don't underestimate it just because it's training."
The four teams were eager, knowing they could start special training from tomorrow morning. For my room, I took the room of the general who had gone missing to the north and made it my own, doing a major renovation.
That Night
First, I was invited by Naron and Celia.
"Please enjoy the naughty pussies of married women!"
Naron and Celia intertwined one leg and spread their legs. As Naron invited me, Celia said, "Shall I give you a fellatio with Celia's mouth?" and moved her tongue.
As a result, we had a threesome. After Naron and Celia left the room, this time Sion and the others came, and sibling play awaited.
"Shi-kun! Big Sister Sion is number one, right!"
"No! For Shivans, Big Sister Iara is number one, right?"
"Spoiled Shi-chan's number one is Big Sister Tanny, right!"
I came once with each, and finally had a foursome with Leila, Miki, and Maya.
When I went to the director's office late at night, Athena was always there.
"The drug has worn off by now, right?"
"I... am happy to have my body desired by the person I love! I want you to hold me lots! I want to devote myself! You understand the feeling of wanting to bear the child of the person you love, right?"
Despite it being late at night, the three who had been discharged—Valencia, and the sisters Akebi and Apricot—also said, "The medicine is still..." and were four who were embraced until morning.
The Next Morning
From early morning, a solemn-looking group came to the hospital.Praha whispered to me that it was the largest trading company in this city, the Louvre Trading Company. I wondered if the top of such a company had a sudden illness, but he seemed energetic.
"I heard that the most renowned doctor in this country is here... Actually, it's about my daughter. To be precise, it's not an illness, but..."
He was very hesitant.Wondering what was up with his daughter, the one who got off the carriage was sumo-wrestler class. A woman who was tall but also large in width.
"My daughter will soon be 25. She's been a recluse for about ten years. They say she's my precious only daughter, so I truly raised her with great care, but..."
The father, Louvre, said that until she was 15, she was a woman of peerless beauty.He spoke so much I thought he might be a doting parent. Her name seemed to be Fran, and apparently, there was a man she loved. However, at that time, Louvre, who was frantically trying to have his daughter take an adopted son-in-law to make him the heir, trampled on his daughter's love.
"From then on, she became a recluse, and before I knew it, she had this figure. To tell the truth, a marriage proposal has come from the Marquis Zelle family! Of course, I am fully aware that this is in exchange for taking over my debts. But, if things stay like this, the marriage talks will fall through. Can't you somehow make my daughter lose weight and return her to the beauty she once was? I'll pay any amount of money! There's really no time left..."
Just making her lose weight seemed like an incredibly difficult task. I asked Fran herself what she actually thought.
"I'm already this age, and my face and figure are ugly... Besides, it's not that I'm going to be a bride, but he says he'll become my husband, so I want to do my best."
She seemed passive but positive.
"Do you not resent your father?"
"It would be a lie to say not at all. Other men were blatantly after money, but he was different. Only Gapper said he loved me and even suggested we elope. However, now I've come to think that perhaps that Gapper was also actually after my fortune."
That name sounded familiar. When I showed her a wanted poster, she asked with a puzzled look, "It looks very much like him. But why do you, Sensei, have that paper?" So I said, "This guy is a repeat offender of malicious marriage fraud. A woman who was deceived by him works for us too. She even had his child and was saddled with debt." Fran was shocked and said, "No way..."
So I said to Louvre-san, "I'll take it on. However, a large part depends on the young lady's motivation..." When I looked at Fran, she had an anxious expression.
"It's alright, Fran-san. I will absolutely never betray you! Please think of me as a lover, or rather, a partner. First, let's overcome your distrust of men."
I smiled a handsome smile and cast 'Adrenaline' and 'Dopamine' on her. Seeing Fran raise her hand with a smile and energy, saying, "Yes! I'll try!", Louvre felt relieved.
(Still, being fat, flat-chested, and ugly is tough. At least, if there were something to move fat around...)
As I thought that, an announcement was made that I had acquired 'Body Fat Transfer'.
Perhaps sensing something from my expression, Praha quietly told me, "Calling her a woman of peerless beauty is a parent's bias, but it is true that the daughter of the Louvre family was said to be beautiful in the past. I did not see her myself, so I cannot ascertain the truth, however."
"So there might be hope..."
He smiled and nodded at my question.If so, there seemed to be a chance of success! Immediately, I made a sauna room and a water flow device, and decided to assign a trainer. For morning, noon, and evening meals, I decided on a vegetable-centered diet, having her drink large amounts of 'Aqua Heal Water' daily, and using Body Enhancement to increase her muscle mass.
My plan was to start the morning with stretches to make her body flexible, then enter the sauna. After that, have her walk in the water flow pool, and during breaks, have her gulp down 'Aqua Heal Water,' which was called magical holy water.
And since she said she couldn't sleep well at night, I'd have her wear a night bra, use 'Body Fat Transfer' to build her chest, and cast 'Sleep' for a sound-sleep-until-morning strategy.
When I tried to make her wear a bikini, she was embarrassed and disliked it.
"I don't mind being seen naked at all, but I'm fat yet have no chest... it's an ugly body..."
"It's fine! In one week, you'll be slim, and I'll make sure you're groped by me!"
At my words, full of sexual harassment, her eyes sparkled, and she said something slightly crazy like, "Being slim and having a chest... it's like a dream! When that happens, please grope me intensely!"
As it was time, I left the rest to the trainer.
At the royal palace of the Garuga Kingdom...
Everyone was irritated. The king raged, "What's going on? Is the front line winning? No news is coming! What about the messengers?" They sent out fast horses many times, but no one returned.
"Could it be betrayal or something?"
When the Finance Minister said that, the Minister of Military Affairs angrily retorted, "Impossible!" Without information, useless arguments increase.
"A-Anyway, find out what's going on!"
The Minister of Military Affairs, feeling small, loudly ordered his subordinates.
As usual, I spent the morning in my harem in the slums of the Garuga Kingdom. Among them, the most enthusiastic were the four: Berry, Pia, Suteen, and Tangerine.
"All four of you have perfect attendance."
The four were waiting completely naked from early morning.They bathed and cleaned themselves before I came, and looked happy when I arrived.
"After all, I've never been called someone's woman and protected before! Besides... if it's not someone I love, I wouldn't want to get pregnant!"
When Berry said that, the other three nodded. Berry, together with Tangerine, gave me a double fellatio. Pia let me fondle her breasts, and Suteen straddled my face and received cunnilingus.
"I haven't gotten my period! I haven't had sex with anyone for a while, so it's your child, Sensei!"
Suteen said that happily, rubbing her pussy against my face and soaking me with her love juices.
"Before, I used to think it was bad if it didn't come! This is the first time I've wished for it not to come!"
Pia laughed and said, "I know, right!" Berry straddled me.
"My pussy is already shaped to your cock, Sensei! And... more than anyone, I love you, Sensei!"
Immediately, Tangerine said, "I can't let that pass, Berry! I can say I'm the happiest right now too! I've never met a decent man before... I want your child soon, Sensei! I love you the most! So, I want to become more to your liking, Sensei!" She looked at me with a red face.
I spent the whole day there. When I woke up the next morning... the four immediately challenged me.
Pia performed fellatio and straddled me in cowgirl position. As Berry and Tangerine had their breasts fondled on both sides of me, Suteen straddled my face and received cunnilingus. Pia and Suteen, facing each other, fondled each other's breasts, kissed, and shook their hips.
Berry said, "Recently, the old man at the weapon shop and the old man at the armor shop have been really eager to ask about our suppliers... Hey? Don't you think it's suspicious?" Tangerine replied, "They asked me too. It is suspicious, isn't it..."
In the midst of that, Pia and Suteen screamed, "I'm cumming cumming cumming! Aaah!" and squirted, soaking Berry and Tangerine, but they continued their conversation without minding it.
As the four rotated clockwise and were embraced by me, other girls complained, "Are you still at it! We're waiting with our pussies wet too!"
"Don't interrupt, it's the good part! Ah! Feels good! I'm cumming cumming cumming!"
Until noon, many women came and were embraced, but the four never left my side. Everyone had come for the weapons and armor.
At noon, when I went to the yakuza's place, everyone was frightened, but I said, "There's something I want you to investigate," and put out 100,000 G. They immediately listened.
"Check if there are any suspicious characters at the weapon shop and armor shop. Investigate for me. It might be dangerous for my girls. If I can understand the situation and what the mastermind is thinking, I'll put out 500,000 G."
When I treated everyone, they all moved out at once.
