Chapter 67
It was hard not to notice passersby stopping and whispering among themselves as they watched our group.
Some men even craned their necks to stare, as though something had happened in the plaza.
I could vaguely guess why.
Today, the three women who had made plans to meet me were all waiting in the plaza.
The first to catch anyone’s eye was undoubtedly the elf with platinum-blond hair cascading down to one side. Her clear blue eyes and beautiful face gave her an otherworldly, mysterious air, as though she were somehow detached from the rest of the world.
Beside her stood a red-haired girl with her arms folded beneath breasts as large as her head.
She had tied her hair back with a yellow ribbon the same color as her eyes.
With thighs as plump as her breasts, her upper chest bared in full view, and white stockings on her legs, she was walking sex appeal itself.
If Isti had a quiet, still sort of atmosphere, Karen possessed a strange energy that made you feel like talking whenever you were with her.
Finally, our iron-walled executioner, wearing a blindfold, had placed herself in a blind spot as though covert operations were second nature to her,
directing everyone’s attention toward the other two and standing silently like a shadow.
That was probably why no man dared try to speak to her.
She had covered herself in clothes that looked like a nun’s habit─though they left very little exposed─but because the fabric was thin, a closer look revealed the feminine figure beneath it in full.
She stood with her head slightly bowed behind her blindfold, but from a distance, I could see her expression.
It almost seemed as though she already knew I was coming.
I had the firm belief that if she was Noa Veil, she would certainly be able to uncover any secret someone else was secretly keeping.
But why was she wearing a blindfold?
When I had seen her before, there had seemed to be nothing wrong with her eyes.
I remembered them as a deep blue, rich in color like jewels.
When Noa turned her head this way, the other two strangely looked over as well.
“Oppa~!”
Karen, who had been standing there looking displeased, broke into a radiant smile and ran toward me the moment she saw me.
“Did you wait long?”
“No! I just got here.”
“Dekal.”
I met Isti’s eyes and exchanged a light kiss with her.
“Noa. Is the carriage ready?”
“The coachman is waiting in front of the eastern gate.”
“Good. Shall we go?”
“Yes!”
“Was it four days on foot and two days by carriage?”
“Yes. It should take two days and one night. You did not give me any separate instructions, but I prepared camping supplies, food, and changes of clothing in the carriage.”
“All we need is something for the coachman, right? We can stay at Eight-Colored Shell Castle.”
Karen spoke in an excited voice, her eyes sparkling.
“Wow. We can carry it around and rest in a place like that? That sounds wonderful! It would have been so convenient if we’d had it in the Black Forest too.”
“Why? I liked it. Having sex with you in that cramped tent, rubbing our bodies together…”
“T-The other two can hear you.”
Karen looked flustered and checked the others’ reactions, but she did not move away from my side.
She’s gotten so used to clinging to me that it seems completely natural now.
“So what? You’re clinging to me like my girlfriend even now.”
“……”
Karen and I both glanced at Isti.
“I think that’s Karen’s role. I’m not the type to act sweet and coquettish. Seeing Darling enjoying himself makes me happy too.”
“That’s right. Pleasing me is the role of a cock sleeve, after all.”
I was curious what Karen would say in protest, but she pressed her breasts against my arm as though she had nothing left to fear.
“I think so too. I can’t beat Isti when it comes to beauty. So I’ll make up the difference with my body.”
“……”
The weight and softness pressing against my arm.
They were breasts I wanted to put everything else on hold for, stand Karen in place, and touch all day long.
We walked together toward the eastern gate, where the carriage was waiting.
“Oppa. What do you think the capital will be like? Aren’t you curious?”
“I am curious what it looks like.”
To be honest, though, I wasn’t particularly looking forward to it.
I had come from a metropolis with a population density on an entirely different level.
For all I knew, the kingdom might not even have a total population of ten million.
Well, that wasn’t important.
“I’m looking forward to the Hero Academy. Surely all the talented young people from across the country will gather there, right?”
Noa, who had been walking ahead of us, smiled faintly.
“Melbrit is the pride of the kingdom. I am certain you will be pleasantly surprised.
It is a place where fierce competition takes place every day to separate the gems from the stones.”
“Sounds troublesome. Are heroes really that important? The kingdom seems to regard them as extremely important too.”
“That is correct. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the kingdom’s administration and economy revolve around cultivating talent at the Hero Academy.
The reason is that history has proven that, when fighting the Demon King’s army, identifying the one talent born among a thousand is more useful for survival
than gathering soldiers trained in weaponry.”
“Hmm. Even so, they haven’t been able to settle things with the Demon King, have they?”
“No. There have been many heroes over the past several hundred years, and the battle has yet to end.
There have been crises, but thanks to the exploits of the current hero, Lady Bellisa, the Demon King’s forces and humanity’s forces can now be said to be in a state of complete equilibrium.”
In other words, it was peaceful for the time being.
The fighting was continuing, but it did not seem as though both sides were squeezing every last resource from themselves to wage one massive, decisive battle.
Perhaps that was better.
If either side tried to see the fight through to the end, one of them was bound to be shattered. And even if humanity won, there was no guarantee that a bright future would be waiting for us.
“The eastern gate is in sight.”
We watched from a short distance away as Noa spoke with the guards.
“Are they with you?”
“Yes.”
“You may pass.”
Outside, just as Noa had said, a carriage was waiting.
I had never had the chance to see a carriage in person, so I hadn’t known what to expect, but compared to a car, it looked like an incredibly bare-bones vehicle.
“I will take the carriage at the front and inform you first if anything happens.”
“We take the one in the back?”
“Yes. It should be wide enough for all three of you to sit together.”
It would have been nice if Noa came with us too.
As though she had noticed what I was about to say, Noa spoke.
“……I am sensitive to Dekal’s scent, so if I sat with you in such a confined space, I would certainly end up begging you to relieve me.”
“Would that be so bad?”
“I would be unable to face either of you. I cannot.”
I see……
Isti kept a sufficiently close distance, while Karen stayed pressed tightly against me.
But Noa had strangely adopted an attitude of trying to keep her distance from me, and I had wondered why.
It seemed she had decided to keep her distance from the outset because she feared she might irrationally change and cling to me, begging for more.
To distance herself from the very trigger of her desire. It was a wise form of temperance, one that suited her perfectly.
Of course, that temperance amounted to nothing more than putting up a single flimsy bolt.
If I simply walked over and embraced her, Noa’s self-control would collapse at once.
Perhaps she had roughly sensed my lewd thoughts as well, because Noa took a step backward.
“I will tell the coachman to depart.”
I put Isti and Karen into the rearmost carriage first, then climbed in last.
The interior was quite spacious, large enough to accommodate five people.
Karen sat beside me, while Isti sat directly across from me.
“This is more comfortable than I expected. Are they usually like this?”
Karen shook her head.
“No. Usually, even two people would find it cramped. This is a very fine carriage.
Lady Noa took special care with it.”
“I’ve never ridden in a carriage, so I wouldn’t know.”
“Is it your first time too, Isti?”
That made sense. She had feet faster than a horse.
I didn’t know why I found Isti, sitting there awkwardly, so adorable.
I was at least accustomed to moving vehicles, but Isti tensed her entire body as though this were her first experience, reacting sensitively to every jolt of the carriage.
My butt might hurt a little if we rode for too long, but this wasn’t bad.
Suddenly, I grew curious. If I took out the Great Eight-Colored Shell here and had the carriage transport it, could we travel to the capital comfortably?
Then we could go inside, sleep for a while, and wake up in the capital. How convenient would that be?
But what would happen if the people of this world touched the shell while we were inside Eight-Colored Shell Castle?
Until now, I had used it by placing it in relatively safe locations, such as a room at the Water and Grass Inn, so I began to feel uneasy.
I should ask Bella when we went to sleep tonight.
“The village is getting farther away, Oppa.”
It had been a village I’d grown attached to, but surprisingly, I didn’t feel sad to be leaving.
I had been lucky enough to meet women like Karen, Isti, and Noa, but it would be difficult to expect any more such encounters here.
I wanted to meet women who would give me even better inspiration.
I wanted to use hypnosis.
It seemed like it would be quite enjoyable to act like a student thirsting for knowledge at Karen’s side.
“Isti. You said you were going to become a teacher at Melbrit. Do you have a plan?”
“Yes. I already have the necessary qualifications, so I can become a teacher if I receive the consent of a majority of the committee.”
There was no need to worry about Isti.
Aside from the skills I had received from Bella, every skill I possessed was something I had learned from Isti.
An elf who had fallen into hatred of humanity becoming a teacher who taught humans. This was a tremendous change and adventure in Isti’s life as well.
“You’re nervous, aren’t you? Anxious too.”
“I’m not sure. I do feel doubtful about whether I can do well.”
“Tell me if there are any male students flirting with you.”
I said this naturally while kneading Karen’s breasts as she sat beside me.
“Oppa. Isn’t the person touching my breasts right now the same?”
“This isn’t flirting. I’m checking the condition of my cock sleeve.”
Isti wore a faint smile that was barely visible.
“I know what Dekal is good at, but I can handle that much on my own.”
“Big brother’s specialty?”
Istie fell silent.
Perhaps she thought I might not want to reveal it.
It was simply that I hadn’t had a suitable opportunity to tell Karen.
Since I hadn’t planted any particular suggestion in her mind, it was also difficult to reveal it all at once.
Istie was under a powerful hypnotic state in which intense discord centered around me occurred, but with Karen, I had once played around by解除ing her hypnosis, so at present she was practically in a pure state with no effective suggestions.
There was nothing in particular besides the fact that having pregnancy sex with me during special training was only natural.
But Karen’s training was proceeding smoothly.
Should I drop her a few hints in preparation for telling her later?
“Karen. I can actually use hypnosis.”
“Hypnosis?”
“Want me to show you? Do you have something like a leather strap?”
“Oh, yes. I bought one.”
I took a gold coin from my personal storage, tied the leather strap Karen gave me to it, and let it dangle.
“Focus on the movement of this coin.”
“Ah. I know what this is!”
“When you look at this coin, you feel relaxed.”
“Hmm……”
Karen concentrated on the gold coin swinging like a pendulum.
“Release the tension in your body and relax.”
“Mmm.”
“Just like that, relax as if you’re drifting off to sleep……”
“……”
Following my instructions, Karen closed her eyes.
I retrieved the coin with my hand and cautiously kissed Karen on the lips.
“Ah……!”
Karen opened her eyes.
“So? Hypnosis that makes you kiss.”
“What nonsense! There’s no such thing as hypnosis like that. If it had been a stranger, I would’ve punched him.”
“It works when it works. I just hypnotized you. From now on, you can’t refuse to kiss me.”
After saying that, I closed the distance between us and kissed Karen.
With our lips pressed together and our mouths open, we passionately entwined our tongues.
Karen accepted my saliva into her mouth, her eyes unfocused as she let out yearning breaths.
After kissing her deeply, I pulled my lips away, leaving a strand of saliva connecting us.
“……It’s not as if I would have refused in the first place.”
Karen spoke shyly, her cheeks flushed.
With the hand wrapped around Karen’s waist, I continued kneading her breasts.
“Oppa.”
“Yes?”
Karen, who had pretended not to notice even when I touched her, suddenly pulled down the clothing barely covering her nipples and exposed one bare breast.
She had revealed only half of it, but the presence of her breast was overwhelming.
“……Do you want to touch it bare?”
“You really are a true cock sleeve.”
“I thought it would make Oppa happy.”
I wouldn’t be bored.
As the carriage leisurely proceeded along the highway, I passed the time by playing with Karen’s tits, biting and sucking them for amusement.
Only tits of such extraordinary size and firmness could make me feel such overwhelming delight.
“D-do you like them that much……?”
I caressed her breasts so persistently that Karen began to look troubled.
By the time the dry village had shrunk into a speck and disappeared from sight.
What excellent entertainment. It could surely even beat a smartphone.
“Oppa. If you don’t stop soon, I won’t be able to fix my underwear……”
Karen spoke with a pleading expression, flushed and apparently unable to help herself.
Should I just do it here? It would inconvenience the coachman, but if we kept our movements to a minimum……
As I was debating that, the carriage suddenly came to a stop.
“Hm?”
What was going on?
I stuck my head out the window and saw that the carriage at the very front of our procession had stopped.
Something seemed to have happened. I wondered if it was bandits in broad daylight, but it didn’t seem to be that.
On the road opposite us stretched a long caravan of carriages different from ours, and at a glance, those carriages appeared to be loaded with an enormous amount of cargo.
“What’s happening, Oppa?”
“I think they’re discussing who gets to pass first. Ah, Noah is coming this way.”
Noah spoke with the coachman, then walked straight over to us to explain the situation.
I opened the carriage door and asked,
“Noah, what’s going on?”
