“Depart!”
We, seventy members of the White Lily Corps and one hundred members of the Annihilation Brigade, proceed directly to the city of Doishunomuharuto. Our strategy is to attack simultaneously with the Allied Forces’ offensive.
_If things were as they should be, I’d be leisurely drinking sake in Schreiaschwald and chasing after girls’ behinds, but as a Hero, I have to work._
_According to plan, we’ll reach our designated campsite late at night and have a party. A loud, happy, all-night affair. …Let’s skip the all-nighter, I’m getting old._
_I had instructed Christine to remain with the Annihilation Brigade, but by morning, she had brought one hundred hand-picked members with her. Disobeying my orders as the supreme commander of the Allied Forces could lead to a military tribunal, but since she’s beautiful, I’ll let it slide._
_No, I won’t forgive her. I nearly got swept away, but I firmly held her back and explained the importance of her work, but she wouldn’t listen, and here we are._
_Of course, a military tribunal can sentence someone to death, but I could never do that to the beautiful Christine. When I asked if I could try tentacle play if I had the chance, she just gave me a blank look. Tentacle play seems to be a niche interest in this world._
_Grudgingly, I decided to leave Rufina behind. I had high hopes for her undead Orc after she regained her senses, even if it meant giving blood, but we couldn’t leave Schreiaschwald empty._
_We reached the campsite without incident. I sustained no injuries, and no one died. The march, unlike usual, ended, and it made me anxious in a different way._
_”Priscilla, could you accompany me for a moment?”_
_Soon after arriving at the campsite, I invited Priscilla for a night date. It wasn’t that I wanted to try out the tentacle prosthetic I received for my left hand, but rather that I wanted to test the Zantou I had borrowed from Alana, a weapon I was unaccustomed to._
_”Mikael asked me out, teehee.”_
_Under the cold stares of the entire White Lily Corps, Priscilla followed behind me, groaning, “Ughhh!” I don’t show mercy even to drunkards. If I could win by showing mercy, I’d be doing tentacle play. _
_As the cold stares faded, they were replaced by hot killing intent. It seemed Priscilla had entered her serious mode. That’s the Priscilla I know._
_Seeing an opportune moment, I drew the Zantou I had slung over my back… It’s long, so long. I can only pull it out halfway. How does Alana manage to draw it?_
_”Pull the scabbard down, you idiot!”_
_Ah, I see! By pulling the scabbard down with my left hand while raising my right arm high, I could finally draw the Zantou. It is indeed too long for me, accustomed to a short sword._
_”It’s out, it’s out. The Zantou is indeed large. Alana is amazing…”_
_”It’s been a while. Something like this…”_
_”…Yes. It has been a while…”_
_In the stillness of the moment, I recalled our many “killing loves” with Priscilla. I remembered the pleasant tension and the despair of fighting a Lycanthrope._
_The Halberd parried my Zantou, which I brought down from upper to lower stance. Neither of us used super-vibrations. This was becoming fun._
_We exchanged blows twice, then three times. I switched my Godspeed from Mode Two to Three. I thought I had landed a decisive blow, but Priscilla easily dodged it._
_Even with the heavy Zantou, this was Mode Three. Am I still no match for a humaniod Priscilla even in Mode Three? But there are still three more levels above. Mode Four!_
_Our “killing love” proceeded with me gaining the upper hand, but I couldn’t quite land the finishing blow. Just as I thought I might need to reach Mode Five, Priscilla broke first._
_”It’s also been quite a while since I’ve seen your Lycanthrope form. You weren’t using it in battle.”_
_”There’s no one to use this power against. You’re the only man who can accept me!”_
_I will accept you, no matter what form you take. I will continue to accept you, forever. Godspeed, Mode Six!_
_Slicing through the dark night, the Lycanthrope shone with a golden brilliance. Strands of plasma traced lines, further enhancing its beauty._
_”Let’s go!”_
_”Bring it on!”_
_After exchanging many blows, we confirmed our respective strengths. Those who witnessed this contest will surely pass it down through the ages._
_After it was all over, I was scolded for using my tentacle prosthetic. Too much tentacle play doesn’t suit a furry Lycanthrope. I’ll have to write about this in a paper later._
_”……Please wake up.”_
_An alarm clock should be… either a kick or cardiac arrest. Mikael and Priscilla were embracing naked for warmth. Even in a tropical climate, mornings can be cold._
_”Good morning, Christine. Good morning, Priscilla.”_
_Priscilla’s naked form, endowed with functional beauty, was as splendid as ever. Truly magnificent! …Magnificent?_
_”Are you awake?”_
_Normally, we’d both wake up from the excruciating pain of cardiac arrest, but Priscilla was still asleep. Did she die? I gently shook her shoulder to wake her, and I found myself drawn to the gentle sway of Priscilla’s chest._
_”Eh!?”_
_Is this really bad? Have you finally died, Priscilla? I’ll remember you until breakfast. Goodbye, Priscilla._
_”Isn’t this bad? …We need to perform CPR!”_
_I hastily placed my hands on Priscilla’s chest, enjoying the soft sensation… and massaged her… No, I pressed._
_Even as I pressed, I didn’t feel like I was reaching her heart. Despite the overwhelming fullness of her chest, I continued to massage… I continued to press!_
_”How long are you going to play with someone else’s breasts!”_
_Surprise! Shin-chan startled me. That’s a relief, I thought you were dead. Recently, Christine’s support power has been amplified, so I thought it was really bad._
_”What do you think you’re doing, you bastard!”_
_It’s heart massage. It’s life-saving. Can’t you see? By placing my hands on your chest and pressing, I’m stimulating your heart to resume its activity. You learn this when you get your driver’s license, don’t you?_
_”I’m asking why you’re putting your hands on both breasts!”_
_I knew it! I thought something was strange. Even though I pressed multiple times, the bulge just bounced back. Could you possibly have two hearts?_
_”Th-this is called artificial respiration, you see. It’s necessary for resuscitation…”_
_”Oh, so massaging breasts is what you call resuscitation?”_
_”Besides that, there’s also mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.”_
_”Mouth… What are you doing?”_
_Like lightning, Mikael Sin, the man who lives up to expectations, administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Priscilla._
_Like a gale, Christine, the woman who meets expectations, administered cardiac arrest to Mikael._
_”Let him die for a bit!”_
_Like a flash of light, Priscilla, the woman who left me behind, her toned behind caught my eye._
_Christine, you’re taking a longer break today._
_When the White Lily Corps returned late, my breakfast hadn’t been prepared. As I rounded a corner, hoping for at least a piece of bread, I bumped into that lovely girl, and the flower of love bloomed…_
_”Let’s go! We’re leaving the latecomers behind!”_
_I’m an idiot. When I write my will, I’ll mention how you bullied me. You won’t get any of my inheritance!_
_”Wait, I’m coming right away.”_
_Some of the Annihilation Brigade, who lack learning ability, chuckled at me. I had no choice but to be prepared for a swift heart massage at any moment, but they just laughed at me as I walked along… No time this time!_
_Important people travel safely from behind. I let the White Lily Corps, the Annihilation Brigade, and the supply troops go ahead, and I leisurely followed behind. Ah, what a peaceful day. That cloud looks like a whale._
_I at least wanted to be behind the White Lily Corps. The supply troops were noisy in their carriages, and sometimes they kicked up dust. And there were no girls. _
_Why am I, the Hero and Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, walking my horse while looking at the backs of men, without even having breakfast? I yawned, feeling a great sense of unfairness._
_”Um… It’s your meal.”_
_A horse pulled up beside me, and a single piece of bread was handed to me. I believe it was Mickey from the White Lily Corps? Lately, with so many people, I can’t remember them all. Of course, I’ll remember if you take your clothes off. And if you give me that look you gave me back then._
_”……Thank you.”_
_Seeing Mickey’s bashful smile healed my weary heart. After all, Heroes must be popular. That’s what being a Hero is for._
_A platinum laser beam scorched and severed my extended tentacle prosthetic, clearing the road behind us._
_This is just a normal march of the White Lily Corps._
