“Bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzzurrrssl!”
I regained my senses when I splattered the Half-dragon, Half-human girl Marukt with a large amount of milky white fluid.
“Faaahhh… I… I can’t… anymore…”
Her upper clothes were torn to shreds, and she was completely naked from the waist down. Lying limply on the ground, twitching convulsively with a glazed expression, the girl was now covered in the white fluid. Of course, I was the one responsible for this gruesome incident.
“…Ah, I messed up. Right, I’d end up doing that to Marukt too.”
I muttered, scratching my head vigorously. It was true that I had a desire to mess up and make this brat cry. When I lost control and my desires amplified, this was bound to happen. But, to put it mildly, this situation could be considered convenient. Now that it has come to this, I should take advantage of it.
“Lombardia, [Enslavement]… Ah, right.”
I was about to call out to my partner when I realized that Holy Axe Lombardia was not in my hand. Instead, Lombardia, who had transformed into an avatar, was also lying on the ground nearby, in a similar milky white state as Marukt.
Lombardia, feeling lazy, raised only her upper body and appealed to me.
“Ugh… My lord, you’ve finally returned… That’s all well and good, but could you let me rest for a bit… I’m exhausted from dealing with you rampaging in [Demon God Transformation] mode.”
“My bad, my bad. You can rest when you feel better.”
“I’d like that… Haaahhh, you really let loose both inside and out again. My lord is truly a beast.”
The dark-skinned, naked girl said, slumping back onto the ground. Looking around, Miina, Elen, and Seraphina were also collapsed, exhausted in similar states.
“Nyahhh… D-Douglas is back, nya…”
“Fehh… That was intense again…”
“Ughh…. Douglas-samaaa… *sniffle*… I’m glad…”
As always, I’ve caused nothing but trouble for my wives. Honestly, I feel sorry.
So, I waited for Lombardia’s stamina to recover. Then, using Lombardia’s power, I initiated [Enslavement] on Marukt.
“Fah… What are you doing… Hii! —Waaahhhhhh!”
Lombardia’s power assaulted the Half-dragon, Half-human girl. Marukt writhed and wriggled, convulsing violently, spewing saliva, and finally losing control of her bladder.
*Pshhhhhaaa…!*
Steaming golden fluid pooled on the ground. The Dragon person girl then took a deep, ragged breath, seeming to finally relax. A golden collar, a mark of [Enslavement], was clasped around her neck.
“Hah… Hah… Mas-Master… What did you do to me…?”
Marukt asked me, her attitude towards me strange. Judging from the hazy memories of when I lost my reason, Marukt had started calling me Master at some point. I didn’t know what happened within her, but she seemed to have become completely subservient to me.
I answered the Dragon person girl’s question.
“The skill [Enslavement]. You are now my slave, absolutely obedient to my commands.”
“Feh…? I, Master’s slave…? So, um… a female slave…?”
“Ah, no, it’s not quite that far…”
Marukt looked at me with hopeful, or perhaps pleading, eyes. Ugh, how did it come to this? For now, I gave Marukt several “commands,” such as forbidding her from killing or harming people except in self-defense. The commands were more stringent than those given to Biner. Unlike Biner, who had to kill people out of necessity, I needed to place considerable restraints on Marukt, as she was dangerous otherwise.
Just then—
From deep within the forest, the archer girl herself appeared.
“It seems everything is over. …But what was that? Douglas-san seemed like a completely different person.”
Biner appeared, leaning on Knight Chloe. She must have been hiding somewhere.
Seeing her, Elen shouted.
“Aah, Biner, that’s cheating! Where were you hiding?!”
“It’s not cheating! I have nothing to do with it!”
“Tch, stingy Biner! You could have helped.”
“What do you mean, stingy! That’s not nice! It’s scary! Weren’t you all completely overwhelmed by Douglas-san?”
The two started an argument that made little sense. It was all my fault, so I couldn’t say anything… Meanwhile, Marukt, having received her commands, looked up at me with her big, innocent eyes and asked,
“Um, Master…? I understand the commands, but… Master, won’t you keep me as your female slave…?”
The Dragon person girl looked at me with the eyes of a dumped puppy, about to whimper. Why did it have to be like this again? I’m at a loss… As I scratched my head in confusion, Seraphina turned to me with a smile.
“She wants it herself. If Douglas-sama permits it, perhaps you should take her in?”
“No, ‘take her in’ like that.”
Miina and Elen also chimed in.
“That’s right. She can be useful in combat, so if Douglas is okay with it, Miina thinks taking her along is a good idea.”
“Hmm, but would it be okay to have two ‘boku’ characters in the starting lineup? I feel like my position might be threatened.”
Miina was enthusiastic, while Elen stood with her arms crossed, muttering something incomprehensible. Well, I’ll think about that later. For now—
“Anyway, let’s head back for today. I’m tired, and I need to bathe.”
” ” “Yes!” ” ”
My wives replied energetically. Meanwhile, Biner, handing Chloe over to me, said,
“I have some things to do here. —Marukt-chan, can you stand?”
“Ah, yes. …But what is it, Biner?”
“Let’s go.”
Biner pointed towards the depths of the forest—the place where I had defeated the other Dragon person. Unlike Marukt, the other one was no longer alive. In my [Demon God Transformation] state, I wasn’t concerned with such nuances. After all, that ghoul horde… Those people from the village we visited were likely the “ingredients.”
While I pondered this, Marukt gasped and her expression turned solemn.
“…I see. That’s right. —Master, I’m sorry. I really shouldn’t be kept by you. I’ll go with Biner. …If I say that, will I be punished a lot?”
“I won’t. As long as you don’t harm humans in the future, I won’t do anything more to you. I truly wish we could have met under different circumstances, not as enemies. Goodbye.”
I said that and parted ways with them. Humans and Dragon people. If they are destined to fight each other, a fight for survival is inevitable. However, I eliminated the elements that posed a significant threat to humanity, at the minimum required. That was enough.
Having defeated the hostile Dragon people and rescued the hostage Knight Chloe, I returned to the city with my wives.
