Chapter 31
Thanks for reading~
"It's already morning huh." (Kearuga)
I wake up inside one room of the inn. On my sides, there's the ice wolf race girl Setsuna and the former princess Flare, Freya who is currently my attendant.
I stroke the heads of the girls in turns. It's fun stroking both Setsuna's silky white hair and Freya's fluffy pink hair. I was thinking back to what happened yesterday. I had educated Renard, the imperial guard captain who was the perpetrator that destroyed my hometown. Because he doesn't know a human's pain, he was able to do cruel things to other people. I pitied him, so I taught him pain. With this, he should have repented his actions and made a fresh start in life as a good person… in his next life.
At any rate, it felt great. I feel refreshed. Without being able to control my excitement, even after coming back to the inn, I pushed down Setsuna and Freya; fiercer than normal. As I thought, acc.u.mulating stress and s.e.xual desire is bad. If it piles up, I have to spit it all out. Today's weather is great too. Yeah, my body and mind feel light.
"Good morning Kearuga-sama." (Freya)
"Good morning Freya." (Kearuga)
It seems Freya has also woken up, and she's sleepily rubbing her eyes. Since the futon had turned over, I could clearly see her large b.r.e.a.s.t.s, so I push my face in it.
"Kyah, all of a sudden from the morning Kearuga-sama." (Freya)
"Right now, I feel like I want to be spoiled. Let me do this for a little while." (Kearuga)
Freya has a good body. Being spoiled by her like this from time to time isn't bad either. For a while I enjoy the warmth, softness and smell of Freya's b.r.e.a.s.t.s. I could feel something warm from my lower body, but my lower body still had the futon covering it. Once I turned over the futon, I realized that Setsuna had crawled in unnoticed.
"I'll do my morning service. Kearuga-sama, you are energetic as usual." (Setsuna)
Setsuna looks at me with upturned eyes and while blus.h.i.+ng, she says a short sentence. Because of her rivalry against Freya or something, she is more enthusiastic than usual. To increase the level limit, thickness is needed, so the morning is the most efficient time to do it. Setsuna begins her service.
"You have improved quite a lot." (Kearuga)
"Yeah. I want Kearuga-sama to be happy." (Setsuna)
This is Setsuna's daily routine. It seems thoroughly teaching her was quite useful, and recently, without this I can't properly wake up. From the morning, I make love to both of them. Today as well, a new day will begin.
Today as well, instead of using the dining room, we have our breakfast brought up to our room. It wasn't just that, because a visitor had also come.
"Why are you here?" (Freya)
Freya's face stiffens for a moment while asking her.
"I have brought back information." (Kureha)
After finis.h.i.+ng our daily morning routine, the sword saint Kureha had turned up. Her figure with her beautiful silver hair fluttering in the wind was quite a sight.
"Does that have something to do with Kearuga-sama… ahem, Keare-sama?" (Freya)
Freya is a bit displeased. It seems she doesn't think well of Kureha, but Setsuna seems to have a clean decision. As long as she is "also" given love, she doesn't really mind but the feeling of wanting to monopolize me is appearing and disappearing within Freya.
"Yes, it's important information. Also, there's no need to correct yourself when saying Keare and I will call you Freya as well." (Kureha)
"I'm thankful for that because the current me is Freya." (Freya)
This is something I requested from Kureha when we were alone together. We can't let anyone know that she is princess Flare and we need her to normally behave herself as Freya. Furthermore, if Kureha, the sword saint, behaves like she's talking to her senior the surroundings would want to know what's going on. Because of those reasons, I requested her to properly call her Freya and interact with her like a friend.
"Then I'll go back to the story now. After taking four of his subordinates, the imperial guard captain Renard hasn't come back yet. Right now, although the soldiers are desperately searching for him, they can't find him." (Kureha)
As I thought, it's about that huh. Obviously, I know about it, since I'm the main cause of it.
"I did it. Because I wanted information, no matter how small, I acted like an information provider, got close to him and disposed of him." (Kearuga)
"Why?" (Kureha)
"Half of it is because
I enumerate suitable reasons. It's not a complete lie, since what I said right now was in the back of my mind. However, if I were to say my true feelings, it's because I hate him so much I can't help it. I can't forgive him for being alive after killing that person. Therefore, I killed him. The rest was just extras.
"… I understand. But it seems the second half ended up being useless." (Kureha)
"So that was the information you brought huh." (Kearuga)
"Yes, the date of the execution was decided. In five days from now, an execution that uses this town's coliseum will happen, and in three days, that will become well-known throughout the town. It's to lure you out." (Kureha)
The coliseum huh. That place is an amus.e.m.e.nt facility that lets people watch fellow slaves, slaves against monsters or fellow monsters fight each other. The gamble that is betting the execution is also happening, so they will taste blood and wild enthusiasm.
If it's that place, it's a suitable execution site. On top of being able to gather a large audience, they have set up counter-measures against monsters escaping from the ring. So that the customers can safely watch fellow monsters fighting, they have a magic barrier and mechanical traps which are both at a high standard. If I were to save the villagers who are going to be killed in the ring, the anti-monster traps and barrier will activate, shutting me inside and I will probably be tortured to death.
"That's good information. Since I found that out quickly, forming countermeasures will be easy." (Kearuga)
"Are you seriously planning to save the villagers? It is a suicidal act. If you are going to save them, instead of saving them at the coliseum, you should at least aim for when they are being transported." (Kureha)
Certainly, that's true. On top of having traps set up that are made to not let demonic beasts escape, countless soldiers defending it, so aiming for that isn't sane. If I just wanted to save the villagers, aiming for when they are being transported is much safer and reliable.
"If I do that, there will be no meaning in doing anything. I'm using this time's event to unveil the kingdom's darkness." (Kearuga)
A lesson at the coliseum. Although I'm going to be facing a lot of people, they specially gathered them for me; there's no way I wouldn't use that.
"You aren't sane. Are you not afraid of dying?" (Kureha)
"I am scared. Of course I would be scared of dying. In the first place, if I do get caught, there's no way I would be let off with just dying." (Kearuga)
I learnt their cruelty from this body. I am not so optimistic to think I will only be killed.
"In that case, why are you going to risk danger?" (Kureha)
"Because if I am going to correct this country, that's necessary. To fight against this country's darkness, Flare and I left the castle and became Freya and Kearuga. Unless someone takes action, this country will continue to create tragedy. The second or third ice tragedy of the ice wolf race or my village will be born. If it was to prevent that, risking my life has meaning." (Kearuga)
Ahh, this is no good. I'm close to the limit of holding in my laughter. If I were to say my true feelings, because the kingdom made me go through unpleasant things, I'm going to do things they hate. It's as simple as that.
I don't have any sense of justice; I will hit because I get annoyed, I will kill because I don't like it, I will rape because I want to rape. In this second world, I just want to feel good. That's all there is to it. If I fail, I just have to defeat the demon lord again and start over. I only exist to obtain a world that makes me feel good.
"So you were thinking that hard. In that case, I won't oppose. I will also cooperate." (Kureha)
"I appreciate it. Please continue to gather information." (Kearuga)
"Is just that fine? I can also fight for you." (Kureha)
"That isn't necessary." (Kearuga)
"You don't need to be reserved; I sympathize with your justice." (Kureha)
"Kureha, it seems you're misunderstanding something. I'm not being reserved, there's just no need. Literally." (Kearuga)
"It would be impossible to stop the execution at the coliseum's ring. Do you even know how brutal that ring is?" (Kureha)
The moment they picked the coliseum, the degree of difficulty dropped quite a bit. The coliseum's ring that is protected by multiple layers of traps is the place I think is safe.
"Yeah, I know it well. Believe in me, I won't do something I can't do. After all, the ring's traps were made by humans. 'Persuasion' is easy. If I have five days in advance to prepare, they will become my allies." (Kearuga)
Protection made from traps and magic. Persuasion of those kinds of things is my forte. Moreover, if it's me, I can even add an arrangement. They probably have never thought in their wildest dreams that they traps made to kill me would attack them.
"I understand. If you are going to say that much, I will believe you. I will continue to bring back information." (Kureha)
Kureha smiles and stands up. I also stand up to embrace her and French kiss her.
"Thank you for doing this for me. Kureha, it's really helpful." (Kearuga)
"… I am doing it for the sake of justice." (Kureha)
Kureha blushes and her body is hot. She really is an easy to handle woman. I wonder if she's self-conscious of the fact that she's betraying the kingdom.
"Also, there's one thing I forgot to mention. Princess Norn returned from studying abroad." (Kureha)
The words Kureha casually said. The moment I heard those words, I got goose b.u.mps. That woman returned? That returned? The most insane royalty, at this timing.
"Freya, what happened?" (Kureha)
"It-, it's nothing, I just suddenly felt cold." (Freya)
Freya is making a response worse than mine. While her teeth chatter, she's hugging her own body and making herself smaller. Although I should have erased her memories, this reaction means she has a trauma about it.
"Both of you are making a weird reaction. She's a bright and cheerful person. We need to also release her from the insane royalty." (Kureha)
"That's, true." (Kearuga)
My face stiffens. Release that? That should be a joke. That isn't such a cute thing. It's darkness thicker than darkness. A lunatic differing from the norm. I should cut it from the buds. Even if it means risking the ring, it's necessary to kill that thing as fast as possible. No, I should stop that. As long as no one injures me in this world, I won't take revenge on them. That is my aesthetic.
"This time is my real good bye. Kearuga, if you ever need to rely on me, just say it." (Kureha)
"That's rea.s.suring." (Kearuga)
With those final words, Kureha left. … Princess Norn huh. She reminds me of really unpleasant things. If she becomes a target for my revenge, I will make her my maximum priority and do everything I can. If there was anyone that could kill me in this world, there's probably no one else apart from her.
