Chapter 55
Thanks for reading~
The kokuyoku race's village is festival merrymaking. Since I'm full, I watch people from the kokuyoku race dance around the gigantic open fire that was prepared to make the gigantic spit-roast with distant eyes.
The organ stew and spit-roast that the kokuyoku race made was superb. The organs that were boiled with seasoning made from beans was soft and had no stench. The affinity of the sweet flavouring and the viscous organs were splendid. It seemed like the spit-roast was just simple and only salted, but it had the deliciousness of being simple.
According to Eve, when the kokuyoku race acquires a big game, they turn all the organs that are quick to rot into stew, eat it in two or three days, spit-roast the soft, high-quality parts and lavishly enjoy it the day after the hunt. And then, the remaining parts are preserved and shared between each house.
Since there were two big game yesterday, everyone in this village were able to eat to their heart's content. The whole village became cheerful at once. Some of the villagers told us that thanks to us, they were able to eat a feast after such a long time, and cried while lowering their heads to me. Even for me, it was beyond expectations that they would be this cornered, so it was a bit awkward.
"Kearuga, thanks. Thanks to you, everyone was pleased." (Eve)
"You are welcome. You probably see me in a slightly different light now. From now on, you may call me the gentle and compa.s.sionate Kearuga-sama." (Kearuga)
"Saying something like that ruins it all!" (Eve)
Eve yells with a stern expression. Even though she doesn't have to be that angry. It's just the usual Kearuga joke. Eve turns her face away, and timidly reaches out her hand.
"What's that hand? Do you want pocket money or something?" (Kearuga)
"Of course not! You like me, so I'll dance with you." (Eve)
A dance invitation huh. It does seem fun.
"This is my first time seeing that dance. Can I entrust you to lead me?" (Kearuga)
"Leave it to me. Dancing is my strong point." (Eve)
I take Eve's hand. Eve is spreading her wings. She always hid them in Buranikka, but when I look at them like this…
"Your wings are beautiful." (Kearuga)
"Wha-, don't say something strange like that all of a sudden! Pervert!" (Eve)
"I won't deny that it's indecent, but I don't understand what you mean." (Kearuga)
Aren't there some problems with the kokuyoku race who are exposing something they are embarra.s.sed of being praised of like this?
"Geez, let's go already." (Eve)
To hide her embarra.s.sment, Eve hurries me by pulling on my hand. I stand up, and follow her. I feel lines of sight on my back.
Setsuna and everyone is looking at me with eyes full of expectation. I know. I'll properly dance with Setsuna and co afterwards. I am an owner that takes good care of his property (toys).
After we finished eating, dancing and partying, we return to the house we are borrowing. Even I, who has confidence in his stamina, tires after dancing with everyone. … But it was fun. In the house, I use one room with the woman I make love to that day, and everyone else is in the usual a.s.signment of rooms.
From tomorrow as well, we will go to the forest again to raise our levels. While we're at it, we will also acquire food. If it's pickled in salt, it will stay preserved for almost a year. It's not a bad idea to let the kokuyoku race not have any problems with food even after we're gone. Fortunately, it seems we can collect rock salt nearby, and it doesn't look like they're troubled for salt either.
"Kearuga-sama~" (Setsuna)
With a sickly-sweet voice, Setsuna calls out to me. She has already taken off her clothes, and is hiding her important place with her white tail. This kind of gesture is quite arousing. Today, I will give Setsuna love. As expected, Setsuna is good. She has a sense of security and I'm the most familiar with her. Besides, she's lovely. When I play bite her white wolf ears, she raises a lovely voice. I'll take care of her tail while I'm at it.
"I properly love you as well." (Kearuga)
Setsuna loves stimulus to her body, but she’s especially delighted when I say I love her. I quite like seeing this reaction.
And there is one girl that is staring intently at this from the corner of the room. Despite not being forced to do so, Eve punctually comes to watch. She's rubbing her inner thigh while watching Setsuna and I. I know the reason.
When she hid while watching us, she could comforted herself, but in a situation where she's openly watching us like this, she can't comfort herself. After all, even Eve wouldn't be able to do that kind of thing in front of me.
She must feel more irritated than ever before to be in a situation where she can't touch it while feeling aroused. It's just as I planned.
After I give love to Setsuna, it will be Eve's turn. Today, on top of being extremely aroused, she has a past record of being given love by my hand, and her intimacy degree is soaring. Oh yeah, I should give her love with my tongue today. Once that finishes, next I will take one step forward and ask to have intercrural s.e.x with me, and next is… I will finally eat her. The destination is long, but I'll certainly advance forward.
"Kearuga-sama. Love you." (Setsuna)
In a limp state, Setsuna murmurs that with a befuddled face. I gave Setsuna enough love until her legs and loins couldn't stand up.
I cover a blanket over her. Setsuna makes a happy smile when I kiss her, and falls asleep.
"I made you wait, Eve." (Kearuga)
"I-, I wasn't waiting, hmph! I'm definitely not thinking of anything strange." (Eve)
She is denying it with a flushed face, but she doesn't have any persuasive power. I smile wryly, embrace her from the back, put my hand in her clothes and touch Eve.
Without refusing it, Eve entrusts her body to me. It seems she's
"Eve, lets kiss." (Kearuga)
"Kissing is no good. That kind of thing." (Eve)
"We're more than friends but not in an intimate relations.h.i.+p right? Besides, we've come this far. Kissing should be fine as well. You know, kissing feels good." (Kearuga)
Because I embraced her from the back, I can't see Eve's face, but even her ears are bright red. Since I showed her plenty of pa.s.sionate kisses with Setsuna just, she must have a keen interest in it.
"Hey, Kearuga, you love me right?" (Eve)
"That's right. Therefore, I'm taking good care of you like this. I won't go this far for a woman I don't even like." (Kearuga)
Precisely because it's Eve, I am undergoing stages without making her head go blank from drugs.
"In that case, it's fine. We can kiss. I don't hate you either." (Eve)
The princess's permission was given. I turn over Eve's body and make her face this way. Eve's eyes are moist. It's very erotic.
"Thanks. Then, let's kiss." (Kearuga)
I join my lips with her and do an adult kiss. I'll teach her the great parts of kissing in plenty. Eve's dorsal muscles instinctively extend, and then it relaxes. Now, the night is long. With every possible method apart from insertion, I'll give Eve love.
I wake up. Uuun, it's a good morning. Yesterday was satisfying. I never would have thought Eve would give me that kind of service.
I'm looking forward to the next night. While thinking about that, Setsuna gives me her morning service. The morning isn't a s.h.i.+ft system, and it's only left to Setsuna, so it's her special right. Eve isn't here yet. She's sleeping soundly. Once her service finishes, Setsuna opens her mouth.
"Kearuga-sama, what are we doing today?" (Setsuna)
"We'll be raising our levels at noon, and sometime in the afternoon, we're going to Miru-jii or whatever's place. Even though Eve knows about the G.o.d bird's trial, she doesn't know the content yet. I want to gather as much information possible." (Kearuga)
I have heard the general idea. The G.o.d bird's trial is to overcome the disease the G.o.d bird scatters. We should be able to handle it easily with my【Recovery Heal】. However, I want to be extra careful. I will gather all the information I can gather.
"Nn. Okay, then Setsuna will wake everyone up." (Setsuna)
Setsuna puts on clothes and leaves the room. Well, I guess I should make breakfast. I have to make something that will energize them, since I can't give love to everyone.
By the time I realized it, it became the evening. We have just returned to the village after finis.h.i.+ng raising our levels and securing food. Moreover, I have also harvested mountain grapes and cranberries that I coincidentally found.
"I can make sweets for the first time in a while. It seems like it will please Setsuna and everyone." (Kearuga)
Along with this, I also have wheat and goat milk that the villagers shared with me. With this much, I should be able to make a sweet pie. I can make sweets for the first time in a while. Girls like sweets things. They will surely be delighted.
After pa.s.sing the game to the villagers, I head to Miru-jii's residence. In the morning, I already requested him to make time for the evening.
Since it would be a bother to intrude with a large number of people, I only took Eve and Freya with me, leaving both Setsuna and Ellen behind.
About this time, Setsuna is probably training Ellen. Ellen has no talent, but she has guts. She started getting stamina by the day. Once a month pa.s.ses, she should grow enough to keep in pace with our journey.
When we arrive at Miru-jii's residence, we are lead to the guest room. After waiting around five minutes, Miru-jii comes over. A wooden box is in his hand.
"h.e.l.lo Kearuga-dono. I am sorry for having to make you come here." (Miru)
"No, I am also sorry for abruptly intruding on you… I am going straight to the point, but let us enter the main question. We will receive the G.o.d bird's trial, and obtain G.o.d bird Caladrius. For that reason, I have come to ask whether there are any legends or details about the G.o.d bird's trial." (Kearuga)
Miru-jii makes a pondering gesture. I asked other villagers, but he is this village's elder. There aren't any people that know more about the G.o.d bird than him.
"A few legends have remained. According to it, what it tests is also the strength of your body, but most of all your mind. If your mind isn't strong, the trial cannot be pa.s.sed… specific things have not remained. After all, only the founder of the Reese family returned after challenging it, so we cannot gain any information." (Miru)
It tests your mind huh. I see, interesting.
"No, it is plenty. Thank you very much. I can use it as reference." (Kearuga)
The strength of your mind huh, as someone who has a delicate mind, it's quite a harsh trial for me. However, I should be able to endure it if I have resolve.
"If I became of help, that is good. … And Kearuga-dono, I have something I want you to accept." (Miru)
Miru-jii presents the wooden box before me. It's the item he carried into this room. I had been strangely curious about it from some time ago.
"Am I allowed to open it?" (Kearuga)
"By all means. I carried it in for that reason." (Miru)
I open the wooden box. Inside, an egg that has a large amount of straw and talismans on it is there.
"What could this be?" (Kearuga)
"It is the G.o.d bird's egg." (Miru)
"Wha-, am I allowed to receive such a treasure?" (Kearuga)
If it really is a G.o.d bird's egg, it would be so valuable it's priceless. Even if don't receive the G.o.d bird's trial, we can obtain a G.o.d bird by raising this.
"Yes, you have worked hard for the sake of this village. Above all, Eve-sama trusts you. From the beginning, I am Eve-sama's father. Amuda-sama requested me to entrust this to the person that will someday become Eve’s husband." (Miru)
Hearing that, Eve's face becomes red.
"I'm not, like that yet with Kearuga!" (Eve)
Hou, 'yet' huh. She's saying things that make me happy.
"As someone who has been watching you since you were young, this Miru understands. That this person is a special person for Eve-sama. And you have also said you love Eve-sama. To that you, I entrust this egg." (Miru)
To think he would entrust Eve and this treasure because he believes me; he has quite a discerning eye. I am pleased by this offer. However, there is something I absolutely can't get off my mind.
"… Why did the kokuyoku race not use this egg? If you controlled it after raising this G.o.d bird, you wouldn't have been this cornered by the demon lord." (Kearuga)
I don't understand their reason for leaving alone this thing that will become fighting power no matter how you look at it.
"We were not able to hatch it. This egg grows by eating mana, and it can only eat accept the mana from the person it first took mana from. Even for the G.o.d bird, it can only raise one egg at a time. If a different egg is born while it is raising another egg, it throws away that egg. … And the one that was thrown away like that is this egg. Members of the village have already tried it, but there wasn't anyone who had the mana to raise this egg." (Miru)
I see, so that's why it was is inherited for generations as treasure without being used.
"I will thankfully accept it. I will also obtain the G.o.d bird you people wors.h.i.+p, and I will safely hatch this as well. If there are two G.o.d birds, it is all the more rea.s.suring." (Kearuga)
In the worst case, there's a possibility I can't hatch it, but in that case I'll entrust it to Freya. She is the hero of【Magic】and is the world's strongest magician. If even Freya can't do it, there's nothing we can do about it anymore.
"One correction, it is not a G.o.d bird that is born from the G.o.d bird's egg. Monsters that are called G.o.d gives birth to divinity. What the G.o.d bird's egg eats is not just mana, but also leaking minds and thoughts, so as a result, it becomes a suitable divinity for the one that raised the egg. There is truly an infinite variety of it's appearance and nature." (Miru)
"Hou, interesting." (Kearuga)
A monster that strongly receives my influence huh. Similarly to me, it will surely be born as an angel-like *monster. I'm looking forward to raising it from now. (TL Note: He's not calling himself an angel-like monster, but he's just saying that similarly to him, it will be angel-like.)
"Well then, I will gratefully accept it." (Kearuga)
"Yes, I entrust Eve-sama and this egg to Kearuga-dono. Please make sure to always carry it with you. If you do that, it will eat the mana, emotional strength, spirit and everything that leaks from you, and will grow into a worthy divinity for you, Kearuga-dono… incidentally, there is no need to be careful while carrying it. Even if you strike it onto the floor with all your power, it is durable enough to be undaunted." (Miru)
"I understand. I will always carry it close to me from now." (Kearuga)
I'll make a dedicated backpack for it later. I also need to think about it's name. I should consult Setsuna and co later as well. It's our new comrade.
Not just information about the G.o.d bird, but I was even given an unexpected present. The day of the G.o.d bird's trial is almost here. At this rate, we will easily obtain the G.o.d bird and will be able to attack the demon king. We're doing quite well. … However, my intuition is telling me; limited for these types of times, trouble always comes along.
TL Note: Anyone know who Amuda-sama is? I feel like it might have been the previous kokuyoku demon king, but I’m not too sure…
