It feels good to sleep wrapped in a warm futon. Did I wake up a little early? I want to go back to sleep, but if I wake up just one person, I don’t know how far they’ll go.
“Good morning, Sophia. What a pleasant morning you have.”
Last night, Christine shed tears in front of the Annihilation Brigade, expressed her gratitude for saving me, and then we all disappeared into the city of Schreiaschwald.
As if to take their place, Sophia rushed in and healed my severed leg in three minutes without any pain. Shortly after thinking, “The work of a professional is different,” I was pushed to bed as if chased by Sophia’s Light Eight Ball.
With all my physical wounds healed, there was no way I could hold back. I unleashed Mode Six with all my might against Sophia.
Mode Six, Buster Sword—these weapons are for Priscilla, who is against Lycanthropes, yet I’ve never knocked her out even once. Is it because I’m not in good shape?
In the end, I could only fall asleep because I was tired, and Sophia seemed to have been awake the entire time. As expected of a sorceress capable of dropping Halley’s Comet, her stamina is different.
“Good morning, Captain. Are you alright now?”
“Ah, I’m fine. I don’t think I can go anymore today.”
“Tell me anytime. Anywhere is fine.”
This is a really erotic conversation, but I was thrusting with all my might. It’s Mode Six! The world’s fastest thrusting! And what did I get? Why couldn’t I finish?!
“We’ll depart for the city of Doishunomuharuto around noon, so please prepare yourselves.”
“Yes, understood.”
I helped Sophia change, challenged her to another round during that suggestive mood, and was defeated again. Why?!
“Are you really going? To Domdom’s city?”
“It’s the city of Doishunomuharuto. The Allied Forces are scheduled to depart from Klinshberbach tomorrow, and we will be joining them as reinforcements.”
After struggling with the morning’s battle, we finally had a late breakfast. Members of the White Lily Corps were gathered to discuss future plans, but drinking alcohol in the morning!
Our orders were to take the city of Schreiaschwald with the White Lily Corps and the Annihilation Brigade. Those orders were fulfilled, and now we just have to wait for the city of Doishunomuharuto to fall. But just doing what we’re told is for ordinary people. A man like Mikael Sin is different.
“Are we all going?”
“No. Christine and the Annihilation Brigade will remain in the city of Shreia, and Orietta will stay as well… Oh, and you, drunkard there! Are you staying too?”
“No, I don’t wanna go. Pri-chan too.”
She embraced her large chest with both arms and writhed her body, shaking her head. She’s definitely doing it on purpose! You’ve had too much to drink this morning! Let me touch those breasts!
“…Am I staying too?”
“Christine, you must still be tired from attacking the city of Shreia. Besides, we can’t leave this place unattended.”
“Ori-chan is staying too~”
“Orietta, please make prosthetic arms and legs for the injured. Also, please replenish the Railgun ammunition and make my sword.”
“I can manage the ammunition~. What kind of sword do you want~?”
“I want a sturdy sword that won’t break, cuts well, and doesn’t require me to chant any strange spells.”
“W-what do you mean by strange spells!?”
Rufina, you’re here. I didn’t want to notice. I’m glad you’ve recovered. The Magic Sword Zebra that Orietta made was a sword I was proud of, with the best sharpness and the most heinous human rights violations.
Unfortunately, it broke and couldn’t be repaired. But a sword like that would be fitting for a Hero. Though, I do feel that the most heinous part shouldn’t be used by a Hero…
“For now, I’ll borrow a spare Zantou from Alana’s Super Vibration. Is that alright, Alana?”
“Sure. We’ll have matching ones.”
“Mikael, my Halberd…”
“It’s too heavy, I can’t.”
“You bastard, I’ll kill you!”
Her tone was so different from the alluring woman she was just moments ago. For some reason, I felt like I could get angry for once… so I did.
“Shut up! The Halberd is heavy… Ugh!”
One should not get angry easily as a person.
One should not be swept away by emotions carelessly as a person.
One should not crush another person’s heart as a person.
Heart Sutra, Namu Amida Butsu.
“C-Christine…”
“…Eat quietly.”
With a fork in her left hand, a knife in her right, a napkin on her lap, and an aura unlike any mercenary, Christine made even the scrambled eggs she brought to her mouth look exquisite. I will definitely have my way with her one day, while she’s wearing something sexy.
“Anyway, with the Zantou, we’ll go to Domdom’s city… The remaining members and the White Lily Corps will go to the city of Doishunomuharuto.”
“…When will you return?”
“Will you wait for me… Buuuh!”
Thorny vines from directly below pierced both of my thighs and stuck into the ceiling. With these thick, new pillars, we’ll be safe even if an earthquake comes.
“Rufina… Y-you want to be killed… don’t… you…”
“There’s no time to be dead with a war about to begin. Hurry up and go get your wartime pay.”
You might not have time to be dead, but do you have time to stab me?! Being impaled like this, how am I supposed to get to Domdom’s city?! You should get a job at a construction company. They’ll pay you well!
“Ah!?”
What, what, what? Orietta is surprised. I was surprised by her surprise, forgetting my pain.
“A new prosthetic arm is ready~.”
Oh, that’s good news. I’ve been having trouble without my left hand. It’s hard to fight with only one hand. It’s inconvenient not to have both hands balanced. Attacking with the right hand down and the left hand up is one of my methods.
And everyone, please, can we address this situation? Shin-chan’s legs are in a terrible state.
“I’ll put it on right away~.”
I don’t understand. How is the conversation continuing in this situation? Trees are growing from my legs. They’re reaching the ceiling and bleeding.
Orietta took the prosthetic arm from the magic circle and started attaching it to me. Priscilla drank her alcohol, Christine wiped her mouth with a napkin, Sophia threw bread at Alana, Alana cut the airborne bread with her Zantou, and Rufina clapped… Isn’t this strange?
“Rufina-san… I really, truly can’t… Do something. …Please.”
The moment Rufina’s clapping stopped, the thorny vines that had pierced both my thighs disappeared. Sophia chanted a spell, and the wounds rapidly closed, stopping the bleeding.
I wanted to bash my head against a corner of a tofu and die.
“It’s done~. It’s complete~.”
A normal left hand. An ordinary, common left hand. The connection to my arm, skin tone, and arm hair, there’s no discomfort. It’s a left hand that’s hard to say “Wow, amazing” about after receiving it.
“Wow, amazing.”
As an adult, you know. I heard it didn’t have Super Vibration, though. That Super Vibration was surprisingly useful. It had enough power to throw off an Orc’s stance, and when passed through a shield, it offered more defense than ordinary.
“I made it based on the Captain’s memories~.”
What is it? This phrase that doesn’t feel right. If she made it based on my memories, can she recall them if I trace them? Hmm? I can’t even remember what I had for breakfast a week ago.
“There’s no Super Vibration~. Instead, I added something interesting~. Please channel magic power~.”
“Doesn’t feel right” changed to “Feels entirely wrong.” I quietly channeled magic power, and my left hand’s five fingers began to slowly extend.
The five fingers stretched out smoothly to about two meters. It made me feel like I could win with just the intimidation, as long as it wasn’t Rock-Paper-Scissors other than “Rock.” …What good is that!?
“Orietta-san, this is…”
Did I have a memory of my fingers extending? If stretching reminds me of something, it must be that person aiming to be the Pirate King. Did they become the Pirate King by now?
“It stretches~. When you stretch it, the joints are completely free~.”
It’s definitely that person. But it’s only the fingers stretching, and only two meters? I guess I could reach for distant condiments on the dining table myself. I will become the Mercenary King!
“In the Captain’s memories, there was ‘Tentacle Play~.’ I made it based on that~.”
I will become the Tentacle King! No, I won’t! What is this even useful for? Did I really have memories of Tentacle Play?
“You put something interesting in it! What is this?”
Don’t be interested! In someone else’s fingers! Is it really useful? Is it useful as a mercenary? How am I supposed to use it?
“I put it in because it seemed interesting~. I’m glad you like it~.”
The extended fingers floated in the air, and Priscilla began to touch them with interest. So, I grabbled Priscilla to confirm if Orietta’s memory was correct.
I see! Priscilla was bound not by a rope, but by fingers, and was in a position that emphasized her chest even more than before. I’m satisfied. It’s usable! Tentacle Play is usable!
After that, Priscilla cut off my fingers and escaped, but I learned that when extended, they could be restored with magic power. Next time we’re alone, I’ll try it.
This is just a normal morning meal scene for the White Lily Corps.
