Chapter 04 A new journey. Meeting a new partner.
＊＊＊＊＊
When Tette woke u. It was already past departure time.
It's from last night's debauchery. I also have a bad headache.
I got to know the guests of this inn so well that I ended up drinking too much because it was my last night here.
Even though my Lord – the princess (Machina) who can be used as a knight of Grandel is already at the stage of wearing a witch hat.
Good mornin. Mr. Tett.
“H. Princess……! Good morning…… No! I'm terribly sorry! It is unbecoming of a knight to oversleep……
I apologized as my face pale. But Makina didn't seem particularly bothered by it.
I'm not a 'princess' at all. Beside. If you're an adventure. Isn't a bit of inactivity one of the best parts of being an adventurer?”
Tetteh was both furious and respectful of Makina's ability to just laugh it off in a mischievous way.
She is full of love and does not discriminate against anyone. She is the right person to take over Grande. A small country with a long and venerable history.
“…… Princess.”
“So……”
“Princess. I will surely take back the land of Grandel–everything–from that hateful mage.”
The first thing to do is to kneel down on the floor and look at him seriously. He bowed his head reverently.
In a gesture of utmost reverence and loyalt. Tet renews his vow to restore his homeland.
The journey is just beginning. I wanted to tell you that although I speak of my status as an adventure. My loyalty to the Princess is unwavering.”
Until yesterda. I was still somewhat of a free 'traveler' – loose with my thoughts.
But that's not the truth. Our true purpose is to take back our country and defeat a great evil. It's a steep journey.
No matter how much you act like an adventure. No matter how close you are with the others.
The reason why I wield a sword and devote my whole heart and soul is for only one person. I can't lose sight of that “Core”.
In response to Tetteh's thought. Makina also has a serious expression on her face and points her right palm at his head.
“My knight Tet Krom. “I command you to reward the souls of your country with your loyalty. In the name of Makina Grandel – I command you to remain a proud sword…… I look forward to working with you in the futur. Tet.”
Stil. The atmosphere softly loosens up at the end.
The gentle voice of Tetteh bowed once and bowed widel. And then stood up with a fresh smile as well.
“I'm going to go wash my face…… 'Machina. I'll be ready in a minute.”
Yes!
Then he left the roo. And I think of his back more than anything else.
Best vassal. Best childhood friend.
You won't find a knight as noble and ambitious as him anywhere in the world.
“………………”
And ye. Why? I have someone I care about by my sid. And I'm about to cry.
“………………………..
I grit my teeth and hold my breath to keep from crying.
This is no time to cry. And I don't want to remember. Just thinking about last night's lasciviousness makes me feel as if I'm a different person 'than I am now'.
The one to hate is the avenging mage. We must regain our country as soon as possible and lift the curse of the 'lewd crest'.
There's no time for regrets or self-loathing.
To continue to be 'the best Lord' for him. We need to make the switch.
Makina decided to seal everything that happened last night in the deepest place of her mind and memory.
Never again to anyon. At least not in front of Tette. To never reveal my lew. Lust-drenched nature again.
＊＊＊＊＊
“Ugh……. I'll miss yo. Too. I'm going to miss you too……
Thank you for everything you've done for m. Amanda.
In front of the tavern and inn. Tet and Makina say goodbye to those who have taken care of them for the past three months.
Other guests and regulars gathered to send their parting gift. And a small crowd gathered on the street in the morning.
Take care of Makin. Tet!”
'Dam. You showed me something last night!
“N. You ain't showing off.”
Either wa. I'm jealous~!”
“That's what they do at times like this. “We had fun last nigh. Didn't we?”
Gahaha!” Anywa. You two get along! But don't make too much noise!”
?” Huh……. Sure?”
Tetteh is rubbing against the circle of men with a question mark in her eyes.
I know that he is sending me off cheerfully to say goodbye. But I felt strangely warm or oddly cared for.
But since I had no idea what they were talking abou. I took them at their word and went around politely thanking each and every one of them.
“By. Makina-chan. If you stop by this tow. Please stay at my house again.
How about “……”? In the meantim. Thank you for your help……”
And Makina. Like Te. She bids farewell to her familiar face. And at the end of it all.
He shakes hands lightly with the shopkeeper and replies in a tone and expression no different from the way he greets others.
As if nothing had happened. As if to show not only to the other party (the shop owner) and other peopl. But also to himself that the distance was originally this much.
But the hand that holds my hand is a little mor. And I can put a little more effort into it.
The owner whispered in my ear so that the others would not notice.
'…… We'll serve you a lot more next time.'
……!
With those words. I'm not sure what to do.
I felt as if the lewd cres. Which shouldn't be triggered at this time of nigh. Had reacted.
“……I don't think I'll ever visit this town again……”
Even such a throwaway line was only accepted by the shopkeeper with a grin on his face.
And s. After a private exchange between the two of us.
Makina and Tet waved to the people as they set out on their new journey.
＊＊＊＊＊
Leave the inn and leave the town.
In pursuit of the dark wizar. The avenger of their homelan. The two of them travel the roads of the plains.
The first thing you want to do is go to the royal capital. If you're looking for peopl. It's a given that you go to the place where the most people and information gather.
But the road is long and there are many barriers on the way.
“……!”
As if to remind them of the many hardships they would face on their journe. An “Obstacle” Immediately appeared in front of them.
Dwarfs with green bodies running across the plains.
Each of them has a weapon in their hand. Their red eyes glintin. And they approach the two of you.
“A bunch of goblins or……! Don't tell me that was yesterday's……!”
Tet draws his sword and positions himself as Machina's vanguard.
Goblins are social demons like human. And they mourn the death of their slain comrades and harbor hatred for their avenging humans.
They must be the goblins that Machina and the others defeated yesterday. They are coming at you with a single-minded determination to get revenge.
“Are there 10……15…… Or even 20……!”
Even Tetteh broke out in a cold sweat.
It's not hard to be surrounded by five or six of them. Howeve. If dozens of them attack you at onc. I am not confident that you will be able to handle them unscathed.
Even though Tet has a sword and Makina has a background in magi. That many for just the two of them–.
“Frozen Blast.”
At that time. Numerous ice spears flew out from behind Tet.
Guo!”
Gah!
Gah!”
One after anothe. The goblins are pierced by the ice spears and die.
And so the ice shards spread across the plain as if it had been hailed – the bustle of a few seconds ago was silenced by the corpses and blood of the goblins.
“This is……!
Tette turns aroun. Surprised.
But Makina's eyes were shaking with surprise as well.
It is impossible for ordinary technology to produce such thick icicle. And in such large quantities.
In fac. Until yesterda. He didn't have the ability to exercise magic of such difficulty.
How did he suddenly become able to use his new magic? I can only think of one thing.
Different things yesterday and today. Different actions. Experiences I haven't had before. –First time.
But I deny in my brain that it's not possible. If 'it' is tru. It would be terrible.
“U. That……! Tettey's……!”
“…… Was a brilliant spel. Princess!”
“…… What?”
“When did you get a spell as powerful as this……! O. N. No. Let's se……. If Makina's working so har. I can't lose either!”
The most important thing is that you should be able to see the difference between the two.
To handle powerful magi. All you need is talen. But above al. Steady study and practice are required.
Normally you would think so. I can't come to any other answer than that.
But only Makin. Who knows the trut. Is pondering how she should accept this sudden increase in skill and magic power – and the “Method” That would lead to it – while holding her lower abdomen.
＊＊＊＊＊
The sun is tilting to the west. It is past noon and the heat begins to ease.
After passing through the plain. We took a rest by the watersideofa stream where a clear stream flows.
They sit on a rounded stone by the cool river and check the map.
If we keep walking at this rat. We'll reach the next town before sundow. And then we'll be on our way to…….
'Hm. When it's just the two of u. You can use honorifics. I can't help it.”
“…… Sorry.”
Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water……”
Then I will!”
N. No. I'm an adventure. So I don't get special treatment. Please wait here. I need to cool my feet a bit too……”
That being sai. Tet couldn't force himself to follow.
The two adventurers are princesses and knight. But now they are on equal footing. If they had to be under Tet's care in every wa. They would never have made it through the journey to the restoration of their homeland.
Makina takes off her boots and high socks and gets into the river to cool her feet after a long walk.
As I fill a canteen for tw. A river fish passes by.
Your body cools down from the fire and you take in the fresh air into your lungs in the refreshing nature.
“Whew……”
It's nice to travel like this.
I'm not in the mood for a sightseeing trip because I have a great purpose.
But the events of the journey all seemed novel to Makina.
Scenery you couldn't see if you stayed in the castle. The people you would never have met. The tension of the battle for your life that you would never have known.
I felt that I was able to grow a lot as a human being through new experiences and discoveries every day.
When this journey was over and my old life was back to normal. I knew that I would be a princess with a lot to talk about and a lot of life experience.
“………… And…….”
“……?”
Suddenl. I sense the presence of something and turn around.
On the other side of the rive. From the bushes behind i. I hear someone's 'voice'.
Is it a demon? I put away my canteen and grabbed my wand.
I don't think it's a tracke. Like the goblins in the morning–
“…… Ah ♥”
!
My heart jumps at the 'charming voice'.
Not demons. Or birds or beasts.
Hidden in the bushe. Clinging to a tall hardwood tree and screaming – it was a human woman.
O. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. No.
You've got a big voic. You idiot. “He. Tighten it up!”
A man and a woma. Their lower halves exposed to each othe. Are entwined in a standing position in a doggy position.
The woman shakes her black ponytai. And despite her word. She looks ecstatic.
The brown-haired man has adventurer-style gear on his torso and a look of conquest on his face.
I had no idea that we were going to 'do things' outdoors.
The woman being fucked's debauched fac. Her moanin. Her lewd crests tingling.
But. Faster than that – the body was moving.
“He……! What are you doing? Stop it!
He couldn't step in front of the woman's words of hel. Or the sight of her. Much less rut.
Makina was more than a little relieved at this poin. And wanted to congratulate herself.
I could control my desires. I could defy the lewdness.
I was able to move first and foremost out of concern for someone else's safety.
Get away from that man!
He waved his wand and created a small spear of ice in the air. We are in the middle of a river. There is no shortage of water.
He then fires a warning shot at the man raping the woman.
“He……!”
The man is startled by Makina's voic. And on the contrar. The woman looks (…) Astonishe. And she avoids it by raising her voice.
An icicle flies through the air and pierces the tree right next to me.
The brown-haired man sat back and turned his palm to show how harmless he was.
Whoa! Wai. Wai. Wait! N. N. No! N. N. N. N. No!
……!
No questions asked. I'm going to set up the ice magic again.
Princess! What's wrong?
Hearing the commotio. Tet also rushed in with his sword.
The. Understanding the situation at a glanc. He points an angry snip at the man with his bottom half exposed.
You……! You bastard!”
Quicker than Makina's magic activatio. He crosses the stream in a basha-basha and slashes at the man.
The man quickly grabs his gear off the ground and pulls out a dagger.
And with that dagge. He caught Tet's slash.
Calm down! That's why it's a misunderstanding!”
What a misunderstanding!”
“…… Don't do it!”
!
The one who held on to Tette's waist and stopped her – what a surpris. It was the woman who had just been attacked.
This surprises both Tet and Makin. And they stop what they were doing to pursue.
I didn't expect to be interrupted by the woman I thought I was helping.
That's my boyfriend! It's okay! So don't cut me!
“…… Eh?”
And then he finds out the truth of the matte. And the place settles down.
Howeve. Makina and Tet were so shocked that they just stiffened up for a while.
The two of them grew up in the royal palac. So the idea of 'outdoor training play' was not something they would have ever thought of.
