Chapter 286 - Investigation Report
As a result of playing with Chloe's body for about an hour, there is something I have learned.
A fifteen-year-old girl is cute.
Also, she tastes delicious when licked.
However, as for her crucial weakness, I couldn't clarify a single thing.
No, in a sense, her entire body is a weakness—I understood that she possesses incredibly sensitive skin, but I don't think that will help improve the situation.
Stripping a girl of her clothes and licking her body to neutralize her. That's obvious.
Above all, I think I'm winning just by being able to bring her to that state, and I'm probably the only one who can do that.
The Chloe army invades in units of tens of thousands. Unless it's a simple strategy that even an ordinary person on Earth could imitate, it's meaningless.
In the worst-case scenario, I might have no choice but to mince myself into tiny pieces and use magic to regenerate, physically creating countless clones.
...No, that's no good. If I and the Chloe collective went all out in a massive brawl, this planet would perish.
I have to find a way to neutralize them before it turns into combat.
I turned my gaze toward Chloe again.
The strongest Homunculus was in the middle of letting out strange "hyauuuuuuu" sounds while Erin licked her stomach.
"Give it a rest already. What are you going to learn from the taste of a belly button?"
Erin stated flatly, a thread of saliva trailing from her mouth.
"I understand everything."
"Seriously?"
"...This Homunculus has been adjusted for combat. To raise her base specs, magic circuits have been constructed within her body. Therefore, her internal organs are highly active. The fact that she has reproductive capabilities despite being a Homunculus is a secondary effect of that. Also, to master the Divine Sword skill inherited from the Hero, her affinity with the Light attribute has been enhanced. It is highly likely her original attribute was Water. Her weakness attribute is probably Dark magic. Additionally, her five senses exceed those of an ordinary person. That's why she's so incredibly ticklish. Attacking with unpleasant sounds, flashes, or foul odors might be effective."
"You can tell all that from the taste of a belly button!?"
"I can."
Erin nodded deeply, her cat ears twitching.
"...Because right now, I am using a cat's body. My sense of taste and smell are sharper than before. By licking and smelling, I can understand various things."
"Cats are amazing, huh."
A girl with sharp five senses, is it?
Attacking with something like a mosquito's sound might be good.
While I was thinking about various things, Chloe spoke with an exhausted expression.
"If you want to defeat a girl, I think the carrot and the stick is best..."
That might be true, but still.
To organize my tangled thoughts, I decided to leave the living room for a moment.
I went out onto the veranda and leaned against the railing, letting the wind hit me.
"That Chloe girl, she had a beautiful body."
Since the first battle was at night, and when we were washing each other in the bath I tried to avoid looking at her naked as much as possible, this was my first experience observing her body intently in a bright place.
Since she is a child born between the Hero and the female knight, it was perhaps natural, but she had a toned body.
A faint vertical line ran down her white abdomen, and her buttocks and thighs had a moderate amount of fat.
She was a girl with an athletic build, reminiscent of a track sprinter.
Even if she is an enemy soldier, I am reluctant to leave scars on that beautiful body.
Much less when she carries my own blood... my will to fight only continues to wither.
If this was their aim in mass-producing the Chloe series, the people of the other world are quite the strategists.
"...It seems I find her cuter than I thought."
It was a primitive affection backed by instinct.
A warm emotion, the type one feels for parents rather than the opposite sex—because that is throbbing, I cannot fight the Chloe Series.
Because by living with one of the Chloes like this, my attachment to her only increases day by day.
I wonder what I should do, I thought, shaking my head as I returned to the room, only to find Chloe looking down with a bright red face.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing to my daughter?"
I demanded, asking where on earth Erin had licked.
"...I didn't do anything."
"What do you mean by that?"
"...I don't know. This child suddenly became embarrassed and turned red."
Chloe muttered indistinctly.
"Because Lord Father says strange things."
"—"
Don't tell me this girl overheard the monologue I let slip on the veranda?
Words spoken in a low voice while my back was turned to the room. Moreover, I felt like a fairly strong wind was blowing at that time.
I knew her vision was monstrous, but to have hearing like this as well.
My headaches are only increasing... The moment I let out a sigh, a devilish idea crossed my mind.
"—Ah, I see, I get it."
"Lord Father?"
I thanked Chloe.
"Thanks, thanks to you, I've figured out your strategy."
"Really?"
"Leave it to me. Even if you organize a massive army, I think I can probably manage somehow. We should be able to tame you peacefully without any mutual sacrifices."
"I see... if that's the case, then that's good."
However, the enemy is not just Chloe.
Since the people of the other world will likely deploy their regular forces as well, there is no harm in training these girls.
I summoned Angelica and began Sorcery lessons.
Young brains learn well, absorbing knowledge like a sponge.
Perhaps it was good that I prepared French kisses as a reward.
Every time she learns one Low-tier Sorcery, five minutes of French kissing.
Every time she learns one Mid-tier Sorcery, one full-body lip session.
Every time she learns one High-tier Sorcery, one hour of close-contact lotion matting without the real thing.
Every time she learns one Super-tier Sorcery, one hour of intensified mutual baby-regression childcare capsule, umbilical cord entanglement, and breast milk frenzy.
And if she learns one Forbidden Art, I will consider the real thing.
When I presented these conditions, Angelica began her Sorcery training with bloodshot eyes.
Ayako-chan and Rio were the same.
It might be only a matter of time before their combat power catches up to Philia's.
