Thanks for reading~
While in a good mood, I'm making the raptor run. My relationship with Eve that I had patiently and carefully prepared has finally taken a step forward. I enjoyed Eve's body in plenty with these two hands. Sweaty skin. The sensation of it sticking to my hands, and the meat that seems hot enough to burn me. Just by remembering it makes me feel aroused. I was about to abandon my reason and assault her many times, but I endured it. If I had reached out my hand, all the trouble I had until now would have come to nothing.
If I properly follow the procedure, someday, I will be able to do it until the end. I'll even make this impatience and irritation into enjoyment. That is my pure love. While thinking about that, I open my mouth.
"Eve, this is the correct direction of the village we're aiming for, right?" (Kearuga)
"Yeah, it's correct!" (Eve)
The two raptors are sprinting. The first one is being controlled by Setsuna, with Freya riding it. I took Eve and Ellen together with me for the second one, while I control it.
Since only Eve knows the location where the god bird was sealed, Eve has the job of being our guide. So that she doesn't get swung downwards by the raptor like yesterday, Eve is putting more strength into her embrace. The feeling of her being glued to me has increased. This must have been influenced by yesterday's matter. It seems Eve also feels impatient.
"Eve, are the residents of that village belligerent? There's a possibility that those demons in that village that worship the god bird might consider us as invaders and attack us." (Kearuga)
By nature, humans and demons are hostile to each other. Humans and demons coexisting like they did in Buranikka is strange. It wouldn't be strange if we received an attack the moment we approached the village. Rather, it's very likely that that will happen.
"It's okay as long as I'm here. After all, I'm the only daughter of the Reese family!" (Eve)
Eve's real name, is Eve Reese, and it seems that the Reese family is a distinguished family. In that case, I'm relieved.
From what Eve says, I can at least understand that they are a race you can communicate with. If we say we will undergo the god bird's ritual to protect Eve from the demon king's attack and make Eve the demon king, they probably won't intrude. Rather, the kokuyoku race should be welcoming me. After all, I am Eve's saviour and her future husband.
"Eve, I want to ask you something." (Kearuga)
"What is it, Kearuga?" (Eve)
"We're in a relationship that could be called lovers right?" (Kearuga)
"Gofu-." (Eve)
I hear a coughing fit from behind me. That's weird. I don't remember saying anything that would make her feel this agitated. Not just Eve, but the pink hair in front of me softly expanded. Princess Norn who is in between the raptor's neck and I… no Ellen, swelled up her cheeks and turned around. It seems she is also concerned by my words.
And on the other raptor which is running side by side, Setsuna's white wolf ears are twitching. It's the action she takes when she doesn't want to miss something. Setsuna has good ears, so it seems she has also heard our conversation.
"What are you asking all of a sudden Kearuga!? You're surprising me!" (Eve)
"That's right. Kearugniisama. Just Eve-san is unfair!" (Ellen)
"That's what you're complaining about!? It's different, right!" (Eve)
"Eve-san, getting a head start is not good! I won't allow you to monopolize Kearugniisama." (Ellen)
I was about to click my tongue. Ellen is being strangely over-familiar, and it’s slightly getting on my nerves. *Although I treat her like my younger sister, she's only at the level of my property (toy). Having a desire to monopolize me is impertinent. I take a deep breath. Let's calm down. (TL Note: *The fourth sentence is supposed to sound scornful, but not sure if I did that well enough.)
… It's still just barely within my tolerance level. I made her into my younger sister because it seemed interesting, but it might have been a failure. If she becomes too irritating, I'll 'educate' her.
However, a younger sister that behaves like a spoiled child is cute in it's own way. It's what you call *cute because she's annoying. Since this has flavour, throwing it away would be a waste. It's troubling. (TL Note: *In Japanese, it's written as うざ可愛い, which is a combination of うざい (annoying) + 可愛い (cute), and it's basically a moe attribute which is literally described as "annoying yet cute, rather, she's cute because she's annoying!" Couldn't really make it sound natural, but if you guys have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.)
Well, since she was originally princess Norn, it's okay to destroy her. Without forcibly tampering with her, I should give her proper 'education' to turn her into my type.
"Ellen is mine. So is Setsuna and Freya. Therefore, I don't speak of it. I believe in your guys' love. I don't even need to ask… it's your turn today. I'll give you plenty of love. Then you should understand." (Kearuga)
"Kearugniisama~." (Ellen)
With an ecstatic voice, Ellen leans on me. Freya, Setsuna and Ellen have already become my property. They are feeling neglected because I'm too engrossed with Eve. It was my lack of virtue that made them feel like that. I'll thoroughly give them enough love so they don't become uneasy. Eve became too worried, so it seems her head overheated. No, it seems she finally has an answer.
"I was a bit puzzled, but it's different! I'm just friends with you!" (Eve)
Oh, I progressed a bit. I thought she was going to say I'm just a mercenary. To think she would call me her friend.
"That's strange. Even though we loved one another that much last night. Would you let someone who's just a friend do that to you? The kokuyoku race is quite willing. Do you not have any problems with your sense of virtue?" (Kearuga)
I make a joke, and Eve's face becomes bright red.
"Of course not! Since Kearuga was the partner, ah, no, that's not what I meant, ah, geez! Kearuga is, Kearuga is." (Eve)
She probably doesn't quite understand her own feelings. She's worth teasing.
"In the first place, you're too fickle. How many girls do you plan to have serving you!? If you were more faithful, even I" (Eve)
After saying that, she once again becomes flustered. She truly is amusing.
"I understand what you want to say, but I'm fine with this. This way lets everyone feel happiness." (Kearuga)
"… I don't understand it." (Eve)
Fumu, in that case, I'll properly explain it to her. I choose words that are easier for her to understand.
"Listen, a man that can only bring happiness to one person should only love one person. However, I'm different. Now matter how many there are, I have the capability to simultaneously bring all of them happiness. And I will bring everyone more happiness than any other man. If I were to only choose one person, don't you think it would be a lot more dishonest? I'm making all the women I didn't pick become unhappy. That would be like a crime." (Kearuga)
Eve looks at me with reproachful eyes. Did I say something strange? I don't quite know. A man who can bring many women happiness is bringing many women happiness. It should be an extremely simple story.
“Haa, it's fine. This, this kind of person… uuuu." (Eve)
Someday, Eve will properly understand it. I take good care of my possessions (toys). I protect them and I won't let them feel discomfort. I'll continue loving them. I'm looking forward to the day Eve becomes my property (toy).
After that, we camped for the day and restarted. When the sun started setting, Eve started talking loudly.
"We have arrived. This is *Visouvu, the village that worships the god bird! … Kearuga, promise me. You absolutely can't cause any trouble. It's the final support for the kokuyoku race whose birthplace was destroyed." (Eve) (TL Note: *ヴィソーヴ)
If I remember correctly, the kokuyoku race was ostracized by the demon king and their country was destroyed. And then, the survivors scattered to various places, prayed for the day that Eve, a demon king candidate, becomes the new demon king, and quietly lived while hiding.
"Why are so many people from the kokuyoku race carefreely gathered in one place? Isn't it the same as asking the demon king to aim for them?" (Kearuga)
That's what I'm bothered about. Gathering together in one village is a suicidal act.
"There are no ordinary people from the kokuyoku race here. Everyone's from a miko family lineage. They can't control the god bird, but they can make requests to it, and although it's not like it unconditionally comes, there are times when the god bird comes to help. The demon king's army don't approach because it's scary… but it wouldn't be strange if the god bird killed the kokuyoku race on a whim either, so apart from the miko families that can send their voices to the god bird easily, no one approaches it." (Eve)
I guess you could call it a dangerous double-edged blade. And I have obtained one good piece of information. The god bird is even feared by the current demon king that the kokuyoku race is extremely afraid of.
In short, once we obtain it, it will become a mighty weapon. That's not all. My knowledge as an alchemist is telling me; potions that are made from the god bird's feathers, blood, meat or any other raw material can become a supreme remedy, or the worst poison. I can make even more splendid potions than before. As long as I have that, I can do more enjoyable things! Isn't that great!
As expected, it's good I got Eve. Eve herself is wonderful as fighting power and as a woman. Furthermore, I can even gain the best bonus, a god bird. I unconsciously stroke Eve's black hair.
"Geez, what is it Kearuga." (Eve)
She doesn't hate it. She turns her bashful face away. She really is cute.
For some reason or another, I feel like I'll will win her over when we gain the god bird. Yes, my intuition is saying it, and my intuition is usually right. I want to quickly see Eve being satisfied by my lower half. Once I obtain Eve, we'll have sex while being protected by the god bird. That seems very mystical and splendid.
Since an arrow is flying at me, I clear it away. An arrow also flew to Setsuna's direction, but she safely clears it away as well. Ahh, how irritating. Even though I had been in such a good mood while imagining a happy future with Eve. By the time I realize it, we've been surrounded by a black winged group who are holding bows and staffs. Fumu, considering I couldn't notice it from this distance, they must be erasing their presences with quite a advanced magic formula. I want to use【Imitation Heal】on it. It seems convenient. A leader-like middle aged man opens his mouth.
"You bastard, let go of Eve-himesama!"
Ahh, so he's misunderstanding.
"Eve, can I massare these guys?" (Kearuga)
"Of course not!?" (Eve)
"In that case, persuade them with all your power. … I'll do my best to not kill them, but I can't make any promises." (Kearuga)
Eve swallows her saliva. And then, with a resolute face, she looks forward. Now, I'll be looking at Eve's skill. She will probably manage somehow or another. Even if she doesn't, I can do something about it. It seems like an interesting show. I'll be comfortably watching it.
