Chapter 63
I might edit this again later, since I was kind of tired while translating this. I did look through it though, so it shouldn’t be too bad. Also, I don't know how I did it, but it seems I had been mixing up race and tribe for quite a few of my chapters… Basically, it should be kokuyoku tribe, but I had been writing kokuyoku race… oh myyyyyy. Thanks for reading~
Due to the demon king, the kokuyoku tribe's village was attacked.
However, their fighting was not pointless.
By purposely leaving the majority of their people in the village and resisting to the bitter end, they let a few girls who have a future escape together with a guard.
Pursuers were directed to them as well, and they fell into a predicament, but we were somehow able to save them. It was because of Miru-jii's hard fighting that I was able to make it in time.
"Our expectations were too naive. To think they would aim for the timing of the G.o.d bird's trial."
I heard the story from a survivor, and apparently it wasn't a coincidence that the demon king's army attacked at this time.
At this time when we can take the G.o.d bird's trial, the G.o.d bird awaits the ones that take on the trial and doesn't come out of the canyon. For this reason, the demon king's army aimed for this time.
… The one who leaked that information is probably someone from the kokuyoku tribe that had scattered to various places. They might have even been tortured.
Hearing that story, Eve clenches her fist tightly in frustration.
There are only around ten-odd girls that survived.
As a result of asking if they have any aims for their lives from now, there's apparently a hidden village south from here that the star rabbit tribe lives in, which is a tribe that was persecuted, similarly to the kokuyoku tribe, and they are going to head there.
Since it seemed that they would be able to arrive there if they walk for a whole day, I plan to rest for today and accompany them as a guard tomorrow.
After telling the girls from the kokuyoku tribe to pack and brace themselves until we depart tomorrow, I released them.
And then, we gather in the room we were allowed to use in this village.
"Setsuna, this is a remarkable achievement. Good job on noticing it." (Kearuga)
"I see, both you and Ellen are admirable." (Kearuga)
Because we rushed out of the village in a hurry, I had forgotten to give them one important instruction.
In Buranikka where humans and demons lived together, we were able to use human money, but in the demon villages we will travel to from now, it probably can't be used.
In Buranikka, I turned a majority of the jewels that even have worth in the demon society into money, but as expected, it would be better to have money.
I also want to let the girls from the kokuyoku tribe keep money to live in a new land.
Because of that, it was necessary to borrow from the corpses.
I stroke Setsuna and Ellen's heads, and they narrow their eyes happily.
I was saved thanks to Ellen again this time.
"Where did you store the money and equipment?" (Kearuga)
"I'll look at it later." (Kearuga)
With this, there are no more concerns for our journey route or the kokuyoku tribe girls' living expenses.
Specifically, I need to think about what kind of punishment I'll make the demon king receive.
From my experience in the first world, I know the general location of the demon king's castle.
Of course, by going with simple tactics, I'll avoid as many demon villages as possible and trespa.s.s all the way into the town the demon king controls.
I'll summon the G.o.d bird Caladrius in the town, make it send the snow of death to cause chaos, sneak into his castle with a select few and then kill him.
This is the easiest way and it certainly has the highest winning percentage.
There is a problem, which is that ordinary people who are unrelated
However, I don't plan to hesitate now.
… In the first place, only the demons that receive favour from the demon king and the demons who control them live in the demon king's home territory. There's no need for sympathy.
Above all, I am angry. Starting with Miru-jii, who I liked, they killed people of the kokuyoku tribe and humiliated them. As if I could forgive those types of people.
And there is a girl who is feeling more hatred and sorrow than me.
"Kearuga, tell me. What should I have done to save everyone?" (Eve)
Eve asks with a face that seems like she's going to cry.
"You wouldn't have been able to do anything. Since long ago, the demon king's army had been planning to attack when the G.o.d bird's trial starts. If we stayed in that village, we might have been able to slightly increase the amount of survivors… but repelling them would be impossible. There's too much of a difference in fighting power. We only won this time because we had the G.o.d bird's power." (Kearuga)
We had been checkmated from the start.
Freya, the hero of【Magic】, Setsuna, the genius of the ice wolf tribe, Eve, who can handle both light and darkness magic, and I, the hero of【Healing】all have tremendous talent, furthermore, high levels.
However, no matter how much of a talented person there is, against more than several hundreds of elites from the demon king's army, we had no chance of winning.
If there was a method of saving the kokuyoku race's village…
"We might have had to fight faster. Apart from crus.h.i.+ng the demon king before the attack, there was no method to save this village." (Kearuga)
I tell her the truth.
Eve is smart. She would immediately see through a poor consolation.
Therefore, I simply told her the truth, and Eve accepted that truth.
"I get it. Kearuga. … I won't ever be too late again. From here, let's go in the shortest." (Eve) (TL Note: ここからは最短で行く」don’t really understand…)
With a determined expression, Eve strongly nods.
"Okay. I'll also do my best to not let you regret anything." (Kearuga)
Her resolution has become firm. Eve and I don't ever want to repeat feeling more regret than this. We will take action for that reason.
After that, I finished having dinner, cleansed my body in the bath and waited for Eve.
Everyone else is sleeping in a separate room.
I decided that I will only love Eve for today.
Just in case, I suggested we could do it on a different day if she needs to sort out her feelings, but she entreated that she would rather want me to embrace here right then.
Therefore, I am quietly waiting for her by myself.
Seeing her appearance took my breath away.
"Eve, you're beautiful." (Kearuga)
"I see, is it not weird?" (Eve)
Eve is boldly just wearing her underwear.
It's a lascivious underwear that doesn't hide various important things. Despite being a little girl, it quite suits Eve who has a bewitching charm.
"What's with that underwear?" (Kearuga)
"… When I left this village, there was a person that gave this to me to wear when I want to win. I didn't think I would wear it this soon." (Eve)
That person was probably killed.
I purposely don't confirm that with her.
"Eve, come here." (Kearuga)
"It's a bit embarra.s.sing." (Eve)
I beckon her onto the bed.
I can feel Eve's body temperature and heart beating.
"Being hugged by you is relieving. You're hard, big, and when I'm here, all of my anxiety disappears." (Eve)
"Kya-, all of a sudden." (Eve)
I enjoy Eve's body while hugging her.
Eve's body accepts my hands and returns it with cute reactions. Finally, Eve reaches it. At that timing, I open my mouth.
"Eve, it's really fine right? If we advance further than this, I won't be able to stop anymore." (Kearuga)
"… I told you it's fine already. In the first place, you're strange. You're always so overbearing enough to make other people draw away, and would do whatever you want even if they say no, but you show restraint in these kinds of situations." (Eve)
After saying that as if teasing me, she grabs my hand and urges me to advance forward.
We can hear each other's beating awfully loudly.
And then, we lock eyes.
So, I kiss her. We entwine our tongue.
I satisfied myself plenty, so I separate my mouth.
"Eve, I'll give you plenty of love." (Kearuga)
"Yeah, mess me up. Make me tranced by you… if you don't I feel like I might cry." (Eve)
I'll do just as she wishes.
And then, I tear off Eve's underwear, and advance forward into the place that I had enduring this whole time until now.
Morning comes.
It was Eve's first s.e.xual experience, but thanks to her comforting herself all the time until now and me training her, it seems she was able to enjoy it from the first time.
I had been enduring until now, so I greedily devoured Eve many times, and Eve accepted it.
As expected of all that enduring, not only my body's reaction, my mind's sense of accomplishment was tremendous.
I've been watching Eve's sleeping face since I woke up, but it's so lovely I can't quite get tired of it.
Her eyes meet with mine, and from a blank face, she makes a complacent smile.
"Kearuga, you were too rough yesterday." (Eve)
"Well of course, but… I might get pregnant." (Eve)
"Maybe." (Kearuga)
The truth is, that's not possible. I have properly been using contraception by putting【Recovery Heal】to practical use.
I have been keeping this a secret from anyone. For instance, Setsuna seriously wants my child.
"Hey, Kearuga. You won't disappear right? You won't betray me right?" (Eve)
"Of course. As long as you stay as you are, I won't leave you." (Kearuga)
I am sure of it.
If I ever leave Eve, that would be when Eve loses her radiance.
"Kearuga, I love you." (Eve)
Eve voluntarily kisses me.
Now, my heart and body is connected with Eve.
Now, I'll work hard today as well.
First of all, I'll make the preparations for our journey, and then escort the kokuyoku tribe girls. And then… I'll finally start moving to dispose of the demon king.
TL Note: I feel like there were some comments talking about pregnancy, so hopefully this solves your questions~
