A job in Nuyoo has come up.
I feel like things are finally starting, but I don’t know what the right thing to do is. When I went to the Mercenary Guild, I saw a recruitment for mercenaries heading towards Nuyoo from the Makjuru Kingdom, and I decided to accept it.
“There’s a job in Nuyoo. The White Lily Corps will participate as part of the Makjuru Kingdom’s army.”
“Do you understand what kind of situation it is?”
“Yes. Currently, the Promeria Kingdom has mobilized to capture Stefan Castle in the Harinook Empire. The Makjuru Kingdom will either strike Promeria to gain an advantage or attack Stefan Castle.”
“Do you think it will go that smoothly?”
“Probably not. Stefan Castle is said to be impregnable, having never fallen since its construction. I doubt the Harinook Empire, with military strength comparable to both Promeria and Makjuru combined, can be dealt with by Promeria alone.”
“I don’t want to fight Promeria in front of Stefan Castle.”
“Since Makjuru is late, it would be best if the outcome is decided before we arrive, or if it drags on with a three-way standoff. That way, we get paid for doing nothing.”
“I don’t want it to drag on either.”
I think it’s easy money since we get paid for doing nothing. I guess Priscilla wants to fight.
“I want to join the fray too~”
“BC Weapons are prohibited.”
It’s unusual for Orietta to want to fight. No, this sounds dangerous. I need to give her a warning, considering her past at the mansion; she might end up involving allies if I don’t.
“It’s okay~. It’s not finished yet~. I only made the armor~.”
Even hearing “armor,” why do I have a bad feeling about it? It’s strange. Am I becoming distrustful of people?
“That won’t involve allies, will it?”
“It’s just armor~.”
For now, I’ll believe her. If I start doubting, there’s no end to it, and I need to prepare for battle.
“We depart tomorrow. Please make your preparations by then.”
“Tch, it’s Orietta’s turn today. Boring. Christine, let’s go for a drink.”
“…Let’s go.”
Even though I told them to prepare… Maybe it’s okay if Christine is with him. I have a feeling he’s a little angry, though. We’re supposed to head to an encampment on the way to Nuyoo before deploying together, so I want them to finish their preparations quickly.
“Alana, please accompany me for some shopping.”
“C-can I go too, Master…?”
You don’t need to look back and confirm with Sophia. Sophia isn’t that kind of person… probably… even though she can shoot lasers…
“Have a good trip, Alana. I have some errands to run too.”
Alana just nods silently. See, it’s okay. If it weren’t, it would be Orietta’s turn today, and everyone would have been sliced in half by now.
During our shopping trip, Alana was just like someone enjoying a date. In this area, demi-humans are treated the same as humans, so there are those who shop together and those who run shops.
Alana suddenly stops, and I see a demi-human and a human walking arm-in-arm, looking friendly. The two of them were smiling, gazing at each other happily. Alana looks at them with longing.
“Alana, shall we walk arm-in-arm too?”
Startled by the sudden voice, or perhaps recalling a trauma, Alana looks around.
“No, Master. It’s bad, Master.”
She whispered her answer, blushing and suppressing her fear, but when I forcibly linked our arms, she blushed a little and smiled happily.
I like this side of Alana. It might sound strange, but she still gets embarrassed. And I’ve seen her naked, too. I love the maidenly Alana.
The shopping trip turned into a shopping date. We couldn’t get everything we needed, but this time is more precious than anything. This kind of loving is nice too.
It’s a shame Alana broke away from my arm long before we reached the inn, but in a deserted alley, after a light kiss, she shyly replied with a fading voice, “I’ll do my best, Master…” Alana is really cute.
When we returned to the inn, the two drunks and Sophia hadn’t returned yet, and the devilish duo were having a secret conversation, which was depressing. No playing with my memories!
She began immediately.
“It’s my turn today~. I want to relax since we’re going to the battlefield starting tomorrow~.”
Oh! Orietta, that’s a great idea. I should retract what I said about the devils earlier. Tomorrow night, we’ll camp at the encampment, and then march to Nuyoo once everyone is assembled. A three-way battle is bound to be busy. This is the time to recharge our spirits and make a name for ourselves on the battlefield.
“That’s a good idea. Relaxing is also important.”
We ate dinner after Sophia returned, and then went to our respective rooms. I decided to take a bath alone and wait. Starting tomorrow, baths will be a luxury, and as a Japanese person, I’ll miss a warm bath.
At times like this, I wish Orietta were here to join me, but it’s also nice to relax alone. It seems people in this world rarely take warm baths, so it can’t be helped.
When I got out of the bath, Orietta was waiting on the bed, still dressed. Even in this world, her negligee, made of expensive silk and adorned with frills galore, was sheer and suited Orietta perfectly.
“I’m getting tired of waiting~. I’ll rest well today~.”
You can’t be serious… After showing me all that, you say, “I’ll rest well~!” Are we just going to sleep without doing anything? I’d prefer not to be tied up in that outfit, but I want to do it normally, normally.
However, this also presents a problem. Orietta in her negligee is cute. It’s no exaggeration to call it the magic of her negligee. And I can’t resist that magic.
If I can’t win, there’s no need to fight. Is it wrong to lose? I was drawn to the bed where Orietta, in her negligee, was sitting.
“I’ll sleep well~.”
Let’s sleep, let’s sleep, after a kiss. I placed my hand on Orietta’s cheek and leaned in for a kiss. Orietta closed her eyes, waiting. She said she wanted to sleep, but is this okay?
“Munch… Mmmph…”
A soft moan escaped her lips. I pushed her down, touching her neck. Her chest, not large but beautifully shaped, felt soft even through the negligee.
“Ah… mmm! Ahh…”
She said she wanted to sleep, but it seems she’s okay with this. Tonight, let’s have a normal kind of intimacy, without any restraints. But maybe restraint would be good next time.
My left hand on her chest, my right hand slipped under her panties, and her moist depths accepted my firm fingers.
“Ahh… Ahh…”
Orietta’s body trembled with each movement, and as I stimulated her vaginal walls with my fingers, she moaned.
“Nn… no… too… much…”
Orietta was ready. My petty knife had already turned to steel. It would be a shame to take off the negligee. I slipped my panties aside and inserted myself while she was still wearing it.
“It’s… coming… Ah… Ahh…”
Orietta’s body convulsed violently. She seemed to pause for a moment, then collapsed, breathless. …What? I haven’t done anything… I just inserted myself.
“O-Orietta, can we go a little further? I haven’t yet…”
“I-I can’t anymore~. There’s no time~.”
Orietta’s swift chop to my neck sent me collapsing. Is this how this kind of play works?! I don’t like that. I don’t have a hobby of hitting or being hit.
I buried my face in Orietta’s small cleavage and fell asleep.
