Chapter 33: To the Northern Town
"I'm not!!"
I can't help but scream at the accusation about me. No, it is true that there is only one being older than me in this world, so I may be treated as a lolicon, but to call me a lolicon when I choose to play with adults, no matter what race they are, based on my adult body, it seems that Aina-san needs to be punished to a level that will change her life forever.
In general, why are you accusing me of being a lolicon instead of Aquim-kun? I don't care if it's Aquim-kun.
"K-Knight of Light-sama, what's wrong?"
Nanami-chan, who had been sitting on Aquim-kun's lap, staring at the book Laura-san had brought her, looked up with a startled look on her face.
"I'm sorry. I felt like I heard a horrifying voice in the world treating a gentleman as a pervert, so I screamed, but it's nothing to worry about."
If I had just quickly ripped Aina-san's hymen, she might not have made such a mistake, I had a chance, but the timing just wasn't right. Of course, if I wanted to force her to do it, I could always do it, but since a spellcaster of Aina-san's caliber is going to use her "Tears of the Maiden," I'd like to take the time to enjoy the process.
“Aquim-senpai, can you really hear mysterious voices?"
The luxury carriage dedicated to the Knight of Light where we are now. In the corner of the carriage, a simple cooking table is currently deployed, and Laura-san, who is cooking our meal there, looks back with a knife in her hand. Incidentally, next to her is Mina-san stirring a pot.
"His head is just weird. Laura, don't talk to him."
“Mina don't be so rude. You don't have to make things so awkward."
"That's exactly what you should say to that piece of shit."
It is refreshing to see the two of them cooking together like this. They are very good at cooking and both Mina-san and Laura-san look like real maids……Regardless of what they were saying.
While I was having such vague impressions of the two of them, Nanami-chan stood up vigorously from Aquim-kun's lap.
"That's wrong. Knight of Light-sama is an amazing person. He's not crazy."
O-ooh? I-I never thought that someone would come to defend Aquim-kun with this group. I'm so used to the contemptuous stares and verbal abuse (I'm not saying he didn't deserve it) that it's kind of a breath of fresh air.
“Haha. That's what she said. What are you going to do? Mina."
While Laura-san was processing the meat with a knife, she lightly poked Mina-san next to her with her elbow, as if she was enjoying it. I took advantage of the opportunity and launched a verbal attack on her.
"Nanami is a good girl. You, on the other hand, are always talking like a child. You're not a student anymore, so take a lesson from Nanami and grow up a little."
Mina-san gave me a cold look as if to say, "You don't have to say that," but that didn't last long in front of Nanami-chan.
Seeing Nanami-chan's eyes tear up as she looks up at Mina-san, Mina-san hurriedly opens her mouth, but she couldn't find the right words, or maybe she just opened her mouth without uttering a single word.
Then the cold beauty and the teary-eyed little girl look at each other silently.
After a few moments of tension (at least for Nanami-chan and Mina-san), Laura-san suddenly burst out laughing.
"Ahaha. It's been a while since I've seen Mina in trouble for anything other than Aquim-senpai."
"……Laura."
“I’m sorry. I'm sorry. Don't be mad at me. Nanami-chan, please forgive Mina. She has a bit of a bad mouth, but she's a good girl at heart. She doesn't have any bad intentions towards Aquim-senpai either...... maybe."
Laura-san muttered the last part in a very quiet voice. Well, I certainly don't have any ill will towards Mina-san. The reason is that Mina-san's tongue is usually not malicious, but rather she is just speaking her true intentions, and all she has is pure killing intent. However, as a child, there is no way that Nanami-chan can understand such details.
Nanami-chan, who took Laura-san's words at face value, asked Mina-san with a look of trepidation.
"……Is that so?"
"……Yes."
Mina-san nodded her head with an expression that was even more blank than usual. Nanami-chan's face shines brightly.
"Then. Onee-chan also loves Knight of Light-sama."
"……That's wrong."
Since Nanami-chan was so happy, it would have been better to just go along with the conversation, but Mina-san shook her head and denied it in a firm tone of voice.
"Is it wrong?"
Nanami-chan hangs her head down in response to Mina-san's response. She looked at Laura-san for help, but Laura-san only shrugged her shoulders happily and didn't say anything in particular. The knife knocks rhythmically against the cutting board. It can't be helped. I will follow her up.
I stood up and gently placed my hand on Nanami-chan's head.
"It's not wrong. We are so close that we sleep in the same bed and take baths together."
"Like Mama and Papa?"
"Yeah. Isn't that right, Mina? You love me so much that we sleep in the same bed, right?"
When I asked that question, I hugged Nanami-chan from behind and blatantly appealed to Mina-san so that she could see me clearly.
Fufu. How's that, Mina-san? Now, with your elegant mouth, which always spits venom at Aquim-kun, tell him that you like him. I'll play it back for you the next time we have sex.
Aquim-kun never fails to make an effort to enrich his sex life. I am sure he will be a good husband in the future.
Mina-san, who may not have noticed my thoughts, lowers her cold gaze to absolute zero and even opens her mouth to say, "You scu-......," but I completely hide my face with Nanami-chan, which stops her from saying anything.
"Onee-chan?"
Nanami-chan, who was being used as a shield by Aquim-kun, tilted her head curiously. Mina-san sighed deeply once, as though she had given up on it due to the innocent face of this young child.
"...It's true that we sleep together and bathe together."
Personally, I wanted her to say "I love you," but whatever obsession Mina-san has in her mind, I admitted it was embarrassing to be saying I love you normally.
And once again, Nanami-chan's face lit up.
"It's like with mama and papa. Onee-chan is Knight of light-sama's mama."
Too bad. I really wanted her to say that she is my wife there. Nanami-chan is very smart for her age, but she is still a child.
As I put her down on the floor, I thought to myself, "This is just another chance for me to give her a good lesson so that she will grow up to be an outstanding individual in the future".
Mina-san, on the other hand...
"...Not mama."
Contrary to her irritated expression, Mina-san's voice was quiet, and I could tell that she was at least paying attention to Nanami-chan. Laura-san, who was the only one except me who could hear her voice, laughed again.
"……Laura."
"No, I'm sorry. But it is interesting."
"It's not funny. Laura is usually good at this kind of thing. Laura should do it."
"Hmm. I think so too, but I think Mina should be exposed to more people and learn to be more flexible. To start with, you should do child care... what do you think?"
"Mind your own business... I don't care anymore."
"No, don't get angry. Look, Mina, smile, smile~. I like it when you smile~."
Laura-san leaned in close to the sulking Mina-san as if to play with her. Nanami-chan looked up at them curiously, and I gently patted her head.
"Look how close those two are. Me and Mina are also close. And of course you and I too. Right?"
"Yeah. I like Knight of Light-sama!!"
Saying that, Nanami-chan hugged my Aquim-kun as hard as she could. Even if he is not looked at by the person he loves, he is very popular among children.
“I didn't know you liked children, Aquim-senpai."
Oh, the effect of the props, Nanami-chan, is coming out right away. Laura-san is looking at Aquim-kun, who is being hugged by Nanami-chan, with a more friendly gaze than usual.
I almost grinned at the exhilarating feeling of things going according to plan, but no. If I smile or make a bad expression here, everything will be ruined. Normal. Normal is important.
"I'm just used to it due to my sister. Is that bad?"
I love children? I have never thought of that. I hold Nanami-chan in my arms in a very natural manner.
"That's not what I meant. It's rather nice. Right, Mina?"
Then, first of all, Laura-san is an easygoing person. For short, Easygoing-san. It's okay, Easygoing-san. Please keep up the good work and spread your easygoingness to your best friend.
However, unlike the pure and innocent Easygoing-san, Mina-san, whose heart is like ice, stared at me with a sharp look on her face.
"Disgusting. Laura, I think you should keep an eye on that girl to make sure he doesn't do anything strange. This scum possibly is a lo-...... nhh!"
Once again, I was about to be accused of being extremely rude, but this time Easygoing-san stopped her by picking Mina-san's cheeks. Thank you, Easygoing-san. In return, I will class you up to just Laura-san.
And the ordinary Laura-san, while holding Mina-san's cheeks, turned her half-open eyes to her best friend.
"Yes, yes. Seriously Mina, don't say that anymore. Do you understand?"
"B-bhut."
"No buts. Do you understand?"
"...I-I undhershtand."
Mina-san's doll-like beauty was adorably distorted due to Laura-san pinching her cheeks. Satisfied with Mina-san's response, Laura-san removed her fingers from Mina-san's cheeks.
“Good. Then let's have dinner. Aquim-senpai, the meal is ready."
"Good work. Then bring it here quickly."
"Then, at least, let me help you serve it."
Then Elana-san, who had been silently watching Aquim-kun since we returned to the carriage, opened her mouth.
“Ah, if that’s the case, is it okay if you arrange the table?”
"Of course."
Elana-san opened a box that was large enough to hold one adult human, and with one hand she pulled out a table that was apparently larger than the box. She then set the table down and began to serve the food with Mina-san.
"Uwaa~. It looks really delicious. Knight of Light-sama, is it really okay to eat this?"
Nanami-chan's eyes were shining brightly as she looked at the food laid out on the table. She didn't say it, but after running around in the mountains, she is being attacked by intense hunger.
"Yeah, don't hold back. Oi, Laura. Did you grill the meat properly? The meat."
“Yes. Of course. I'll bring it now. I made sure to set the heat as Aquim-senpai instructed."
"Alright. After all, a man needs meat. Right, Mina?"
"I wouldn't know."
Mina-san responds curtly but interferes with Elana-san's attempt to sit next to Aquim-kun, who is Aquim-kun's attendant, and sits down between me and Elana-san to chivalrously protect Elana-san.
"...Mina, I have to taste it for poison..."
The role of an attendant is to support the knight of light in all aspects. The earnest Elana-san goes out of her way to taste Aquim-kun's food for poison every time he eats (well, there is no poison that works on me, so it's meaningless).
"I'd rather do it myself than have Elana-senpai do it."
"No, but..."
Mina-san's attitude made Elana-san look at Aquim-kun as if she was asking for his help, which is rare. Mina-san is as stubborn as ever when it comes to Elana-san's affairs, or perhaps she is just stubborn, but that's what makes her so cute.
“The poison tasting is good for today. I can eat whatever I want."
"That's... but."
"Shut up. I want my meat right now. Understood?"
"……Understood."
Elana-san, who must have understood that Aquim-kun would not listen to her, backed down surprisingly easily.
Nanami-chan tugged at the hem of Aquim-kun's clothes.
“Um, um, Knight of Light-sama. Papa loves meat too, but he can't eat too much because Mama says it's not good for him. That's why he's so happy when he eats it."
"Hee~. Then maybe Nanami's father and I will get along."
"Yeah...... um, Knight of Light-sama. Mama and Papa, they're okay, right?"
Nanami-chan looks up at Aquim-kun with an expression that is a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.
Elana-san and the others gave Nanami-chan a concerned look, and I jumped at the chance to show off Aquim-kun's cool side.
I made a sharp expression and looked directly into Nanami-chan's eyes, which were shaken with anxiety, and assured her emphatically.
"Don't worry. I will save your parents."
"Really? It's not a lie?"
"Yeah. Believe me. There's nothing I can't do. I'm the Knight of Light-sama after all."
"Aquim."
Fuu, nailed it. But for some reason, Elana-san was staring at me.
"What? If you have something to say, say it clearly."
"...We still don't know the situation. Don't make promises too easily."
I see. That's a very realistic opinion, just like Elana-sana. I guess she is worried about the shock Nanami-chan will receive if we can't save her parents.
Nanami-chan's hand gripping the hem of Aquim-kun's clothes is getting stronger.
Fufu. Elana-san and Nanami-chan. Don't worry so much. I didn't want to do it because it would have reduced the fun, but for the sake of Aquim-kun's plan to become charismatic, I'm using my senses to perfectly complement Nanami-chan's parents. So it doesn't matter how much I talk big.
By the way, Nanami-chan's mother, Maroana-san, is currently being stripped naked and fucked by a vampire girl. Her father, Lloyd-san, has been turned into a ghoul and is in chains.
Maroana-san knows that no one can restore the ghouls to their original state because they are already more than half dead (although I can restore them to their original state), but she is still praying to me the Founder-sama to restore her husband to human form.
Usually, when a human turned into a vampire, their personality changes along with their material, but Maroana-san's consciousness still goes back and forth between a vampire who wants to indulge herself in pleasure and a human who loves her family.
When vampires make familiars, it is a ritual to make them suck the blood of someone close to them so that they can part from their human self, but even after that, she still retains her original mind. You have quite a strong mind, although not as strong as Mina-san's.
"...Knight of Light-sama."
Nanami-chan looks as if she is about to start crying, misunderstanding when she saw Aquim-kun who had fallen silent.
I gently patted Nanami-chan's head and smiled in a cool way, showing my white teeth.
"What a pathetic look on your face, you idiot. I promise you. I will save your parents. You don't have to worry about anything, you just have to trust me."
"Knight of Light-sama."
A tear escaped from Nanami-chan's eyes at the sight of how handsome Aquim-kun was.
Fuu, nailed it. Look at the way she looks at Aquim-kun. She's completely confusing him with the main character of the story or something.
Elana-san and Mina-san are looking at Aquim-kun as if they are criticizing him for making promises, but they are not going to talk about any more realistic possibilities in front of Nanami-chan.
No, maybe deep down they both have a feeling that there might be a possibility. After all, adults who know the reality are sometimes more attracted to fairy tales.
And that is fine. I, the Daimaou, will be responsible for dragging not only Nanami-chan, but also Elana-san and Mina-san into the nightmare that they will never wake up from. So, please continue to dance on the stage that I am directing, as I wish until you guys break.
Perhaps my sincerity was understood, Nanami-chan smiled.
"It's true, right? There's nothing Knight of Light-sama can't do."
"That's right. You don't have to worry about anything, just eat your food, your food."
“Yeah!...... Yeah!! Thanks for the food."
After joining her hands together, Nanami-chan starts eating her food. There is no more worry on her face.
"It's delicious!! This tastes just as good as Mama's cooking."
"Ahaha. I'm glad to hear you say so, as the one who made it. Did it suit your palate too, Aquim-senpai?"
"Well, it's not bad. Right, Mina?"
"Don't talk to me every time. It's Laura's cooking, so it's sure to be delicious. Ah, Elana-senpai, I'll serve it for you."
"Mm? Is that so? Sorry for troubling you, then please."
"Yes."
Mina-san receives a bowl from Elana-san. She was expressionless, but she looked somewhat happy, just like a maiden in love.
I also brought my bowl to Mina-san as a test.
“Oh, Mina. Give me some too, please."
“Alright, here, Elana-senpai. Please feel free to call out to me."
Oh, ignoring me. What a rebellious slave you are. It seems that it is impossible to be liked by Mina-san by appealing to her. I must make more effort.
As I was planning my next plan, Nanami-chan, who was sitting next to me eating her meal, put down her chopsticks and extended her hand toward me.
"Um, um, Knight of Light-sama. Let me do it."
"Oh. Then please."
"Yes. Leave it to me."
Nanami-chan received the bowl from Aquim-kun with a smile. Then Laura-san handed her a scooped rice.
"Here you go, Nanami-chan. Be careful, it's hot."
"Thank you, onee-chan."
After receiving the rice from Laura-san, Nanami-chan carefully brought the bowl of rice to Aquim-kun.
"Here, Knight of Light-sama."
"Good work."
I accepted the bowl of rice from Nanami-chan's hands. Then boldly tossed some rice into my mouth.
"Delicious? Knight of Light-sama, is it delicious?"
“It's not bad. You, too, don't hesitate to eat more rice."
"Yes!"
And then Nanami-chan returned to her food with a smile on her face. The meal ended with a goofy atmosphere from start to finish. And thenーー
"We're here, let's get off."
After a pleasant moment of deepening our relationship, the carriage arrived at a place next to the northern town. Well, even though we have arrived, we are not taking the carriage to the town in case we are attacked, so there is still a short walk from here to the northern town.
Looking around, the Shield family members who will stay here to watch the carriage have already started preparing for the night camp.
"Oi. Don't be lazy. Let's go quickly."
"I know… Are you okay? Here, hold my hand."
Elana-san reached out her hand toward Nanami-chan, who was about to get out of the carriage, but Nanami-chan trembled at the outstretched hand and hid behind Laura-san.
"A-are? What's wrong Nanami-chan? Did Elana-san surprise you?"
Laura-san asks a question to Nanami-chan, who clings to her leg in surprise. She looked at Laura-san and then looked at Elana-san.
“That onee-chan… is scary.”
Elana-san stopped moving immediately at Nanami-chan's words. Then I imagined a lightning strike behind her.
"Kekeke. Children are good judges of character, after all. Oi, come here, Nanami. I'll take you down."
I held out my arms and Nanami-chan ran to me as if to jump from the carriage, I lifted her up and gently set her down. All the while, Elana-san remained frozen.
Nanami-chan was afraid of Elana-san because of the impression she gave her when they first met (she was staring at her with a sword in hand) and the scary face she had on me the whole time we were in the carriage (she was on guard to make sure Aquim-kun didn't do anything strange to Nanami-chan).
I thought about consoling her and making Aquim-kun cool, but Elana-san's shocked expression was so cute that I decided to let it go.
“Um, Elana-senpai, are you okay?”
Then Laura-san and Mina-san, who had gotten off the carriage, approached Elana-san with worried looks on their faces. Then finally, Elana-san, who had become a statue, began to move.
"...M-Mina. Am I a scary woman in the eyes of children?"
The fact that she chose Mina-san to ask that question shows Elana-san's strength and the seriousness of the damage.
"You're not scary. You're beautiful. Besides, I think Elana-senpai is really cool."
"I-Is that so?"
Mina-san responded too predictably, and Elana-san was blatantly relieved by that. As I was laughing my head off at this adorable farce, Aina-san, who had just gotten out of another carriage, approached me.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, Elana is just reflecting on her doings."
"Hmm?... I'm not sure what it is, but then maybe you should try it too, Aquim-sama?"
"You too."
Aina-san said something rude to me again, but I haven't forgotten how she treated me as a lolicon.
I stare at the elf with white hair and eyes, a rare beauty.
"...Is something wrong with my face?"
"No, I'm just looking forward to it."
I've been hurt twice, so I would like to do something fun while punishing Aina-san.
Aina-san became more alert as she looked at me with a grin on my face.
"...Looking forward to?"
“It's nothing. More importantly, let's go. Oi, Elana. How long are you going to be depressed? Let's go now, you idiot."
"I-I'm not depressed."
"Annoying guy."
I yelled at her like Aquim-kun, and a slightly flushed Elana-san rushed over to me. Mina-san followed with an expressionless face, and behind her, Laura-san reached out her hand to Nanami-chan.
"Nanami-chan. If you don't mind, can you hold my hand?"
"Yes, it's okay."
Nanami-chan smiles and holds hands with Laura-san. Fumu. It looks like it's safe to leave Nanami-chan's care to Laura-san.
"Alright, then. I'm not sure what's going to happen from here on out, so you're going to have to follow my orders very closely. Do you understand?"
"Yes. Knight of Light-sama."
Starting with the cheerful Nanami-chan, everyone except Mina-san nodded at Aquim-kun's words.
"Then, let's go."
I then started walking toward the town, which was easy for even Nanami-chan to walk to, while thinking about how I could play with Aina-san.
With how the girls act, you'd think Nanami should be offended that she's not being solicitated.
