Chapter 66: Those Who Need to Grow
"Die. Aquim."
A cold killing intent emanates from Mina-san. At the same time, the temperature of the surroundings drops rapidly, and Aquim-kun's breath turns white.
Fumu. Even though it's training, it's just like a real battle. It's a wonderful attitude that is really worth teaching. It's as if she really wants to kill Aquim-kun. Hahaha.
While I, the Daimaou, was laughing, Mina-san seemed to be ready.
"I won't let you go. I'm the queen. Freeze. Freeze. Entwine yourself around everything that avenges the person you love, and tear yourself to pieces. Freeze. Freeze."
Mina-san's feet, who is chanting, are frozen, and from within the ice, a pseudo-life is taking shape, taking over Mina-san's will. It isーー
“Ice thorns. Heh, it's taking shape."
Mina-san's complexion did not change after hearing Aqim-kun's praise. (She is more than happy.) The thorns that emerge one after another from under Mina-san's feet wriggle and assert their existence as if they were real living creatures.
Mina-san raised her hand to Aquim-kun.
"Seize him and kill him."
And with that, thousands of thorns came at Aquim-kun. The distance between Aquim-kun and Mina-san was about fifteen meters, but it took less than a second for the thorns to reach Aquim-kun.
“Keh. Not good, enough."
Aquim-kun ducks and swats away the icy thorns, and brilliantly fends them off, unscathed. Fuu. This magic thorn. By the standards of ordinary people, I would say that she is already a first-rate mage, but as a disciple of the Daimaou, she is still a failure.
“And it’s fragile. At this rate...... oops."
The crushed thorns instantly regenerate and attack again. But of course, Aquim-kun is not surprised. He dances with the sword in his hand and cuts them off.
"Ha. No matter how much it is shattered, it never gives up until it kills its enemy by persistently regenerating. Despite its beautiful appearance, its body is full of thorns. Good. It is a magic that is firmly in line with the shape of your mind."
“……Shut up and die.”
More and more ice thorns were coming at me. While dealing with the thorns in one hand, Aquim-kun turned his gaze to the other person present at the scene.
"So? How about you, Elana?"
The opposite of Mina-san. There, flames erupt from all over Elana-san's body as she holds her sword and concentrates her mana.
"The oath of the beginning is always in my heart. No humiliation or disgrace can bend my sword. The flame of determination, become my armor and light my path."
Immediately afterward, flames engulf Elana-san's entire body, which materializes into full-body armor. The armor is unadorned and practical. But behind her helmet, a ponytail-like hair made of flames was swaying in the wind.
"I'm coming. Aquim."
"Shut up and come."
The moment Aquim-kun responded, slicing through Mina-san's thorns, Elana-san's feet exploded. At the same time, a blade covered with flames swung down. The moment she stepped into the gap in an instant, Aquim-kun stopped her swing with his sword.
Kya! Aquim-kun, so cool!!!
But of course, Aquim-kun's coolness does not end there. While they were in a fierce battle, Aquim-kun showed off his power of crushing Mina-san's thorns with a burst of mana, while turning his sharp look toward Elana-san.
"The materialization of the flame armor is good. But you are still too conscious of your body. What you are making is not just armor. It's a new flesh. It's a new body. You need to bring out the best in that armor. It will make you several times stronger than you are now."
"…………I understand."
Unlike Mina-san, I got a very honest reply, and the pressure on Aquim-kun's arm increases rapidly. This candor to follow anyone's word on what she is convinced of is one of Elana-san's strengths.
"However. It's still too predictable!"
Aquim-kun kicked Elana-san in the stomach, who was focused only on the sword.
"Guh!?"
Elana-san was blown away. And the one who comes at me in the opposite direction is...
“Aquiiiiimm!!”
Ice thorns. It becomes a tsunami and tries to swallow Aquim-kun.
"Keh. If you like Elana's flame that much. Then burn."
Aquim-kun snaps his fingers, and the flames sweep through the thorns like a hungry beast, and then struck Mina-san.
"Kuh."
Mina-san just barely manages to evade the flames before it eats her. However, her right leg was burned.
"Ora! What's wrong? Are you going to die?"
Then, Aquim-kun, who had instantly closed the gap between them, brought down his sword. I was a little worried that she might die. But in any case, if she died from this, there is no future for her, so please don't go to heaven, okay? Mina-san avoided it just in time (I believed in her).
"Haa, haa."
Mina-san, who has taken a slight distance from Aquim-kun, is breathing roughly and repeatedly. The thorns wrapped around Mina-san's right leg, which had been burned. She must have used it to cover up. It is a wonderful power. But...
"Can you dodge another blow like that?"
The distance between Aquim-kun and Mina-san is still very close to nothing. If I strike at her as before, Mina-san might die this time...... but, if it happens, it happens. Unfortunately, my educational policy is very spartan-like.
So, while believing in Mina-san's survival, Aquim-kun was about to attack again in order to kill Mina-san.
"I won't let youuu!!"
Elana-san came back at a tremendous speed.
Clang*!!.
And, Aquim-kun and Elana-san's swords met.
"Elana-senpai."
Mina-san immediately creates ice thorns again to support Elana-san.
"Heh, good. Be more serious."
May you survive the coming day. Although I say that......, there is still a lot of time left, since it has only been about 3,000 years since the beginning of this civilization.
While thinking about this, Aquim-kun fought off their attacks, and at times, he unleashed an attack that could kill them. Andーー
"...Well, this is bound to happen."
Aquim looked around the completely transformed mansion garden.
This is the mansion that Aquim-kun's father gave him as a gift to celebrate his inauguration as a knight of light, and it has a lovely, spacious garden. The garden, which the gardeners have been maintaining day by day, has turned into a wasteland just from light exercises.
"Haa, haa.... M-Mina... haa, haa... are you okay?"
Elana-san, covered in sweat and lying on the ground, calls out to Mina-san, who is lying nearby as well.
“Haa, haa. I'm... okay."
The two of them have used up all of their mana to the limit and seem to have run out of energy. I'm not sure what to do. What should I do? Should I try to push them further, or should I call it a day? I'm torn.
"Aquim-senpai. Are you done for today?"
I heard a voice that sounded like she is seriously worried about something.
When Aquim-kun looked toward the voice, he saw Laura-san, dressed in a maid's outfit, about to enter the wasteland.
Holding the end of her long skirt in her hand, she rushed toward Aquim-kun worriedly.
"Oh. You've come at a right time. You should start tidying up this garden now. Clean it up by tomorrow."
"Eh!?"
Laura-san's body stops dead in its tracks at Aquim-kun's words. The holes created by Elana-san and Mina-san's rampage are numerous, deep, and large. In addition, the ice must be melted, which is not an easy task with the amount of mana Laura-san has.
“Y-you want this garden cleaned by today? Um, doing it alone?"
The mansion that Aquim-kun is currently using as his residence is basically staffed only with children that I have selected for him. They are all good, talented children, but there are still not enough of them, and the house is not fully staffed for its size. So if I were to suddenly push the workload on this scale to her, it would be very difficult. But that is Aquim-kun's quality, he does not care about such trivial things.
Aquim-kun turned a sullen face to Laura, who looked troubled.
"I don't give a shit. If I tell you to do something, do it immediately. I'll at least give you a bonus if you get it done quickly."
"T-then, um... I'll do my best."
Clenching both fists tightly, Laura-san desperately said in her mind, "Don't worry, I can do it. I can do it.".
"Laura... haa, haa... I-I'll help you."
"Eh? I'm glad to hear that. But..."
She must have anticipated how Aquim-kun would act based on her past experiences. Laura-san turned her gaze to Aquim-kun as if to ask him about Mina-san's words. Naturally, the answer is no.
“Are you an idiot? You're going to take a bath with me now."
"You can take a bath by yourself."
“Shut up, slave. Besides, I thought you weren't going to use those cocky words to me."
When Aquim-kun said that, Mina-san, her cheeks flushed, raised her body, and threw a blade of ice at Aquim-kun.
“Oops...... Jeez, If you're embarrased, you'll have to pick a prettier way to hide it."
“Shut up! I would never... kuh. D-don't touch me."
Mina-san is carried like a princess by Aquim-kun, she is flailing around though. Mina-san, by the way, is becoming more and more expressive of her emotions.
"Ora, Elana. You too. I'll take care of you in the bathroom, so come along."
"……I understand."
Elana accepted it calmly, without expressing either favorable or unfavorable feelings. Fuu. On the contrary, she doesn't show much emotion anymore. Not so long ago, if I had told her I was going to hold her, she would have made a disgusted face.
“Haha. So you're in love with me now."
She looks up at Aquim-kun, who is standing shoulder to shoulder with Elana-san with a proud look on his face.
"...What are you talking about?"
"Don't be embarrassed."
Aquim-kun licked Elana-san's sweaty cheeks.
“…………Is it fun?”
Elana-san still doesn't look happy or disgusted. But, well, if she doesn't dislike me and this attitude is progress, it is progress. I guess she was impressed by the fact that I train her every day, right?
"I'm having fun, or rather, your sweat is really good. Elana."
Saying that, Aquim-kun stuck his hand into Elana-san's sweat-steamed pants and squeezed her ass so hard that it changed its shape.
Squeeze*~ ~. Rub*, rub*. Rub*, rub*.
"...Nhh. Really, you... nhh, n-not getting tired of doing this... kuh!?"
Aquim-kun moved the hand that was rubbing her buttocks between her legs and touches Elana-san's vagina with his fingers.
"Don't you know? Animals will fuck to death for pleasure. They can't get enough of it. Right, Mina?"
"Die."
Mina-san, who had escaped from Aquim-kun's arms, fires a fist at my cheek.
“Oops. Don't be in such a hurry, I'm going to love you too."
Aquim-kun lightly brushed Mina-san's fist off, puts his hand on her shoulder, and rubs her small breasts.
Rub*, rub*. Rub*, rub*. (Nipples) Pinch*!!
"Hya!? Ah? Nhh!?"
Mina-san's whole body trembled. Aquim-kun laughed out loud at her obvious reaction.
“Hahaha. What's wrong? Don't tell me you climaxed just from having your breasts squeezed?"
"S-shut... mhh!?"
As Mina-san was about to say something, but Aquim-kun forcefully closed Mina-san's lips.
Squelch*, squelch*. Squelch*, squelch*. Chuu.
"Alright. Then, Laura. We're going, but work hard."
“Ah, yes. Then, um, good luck?"
Leaving Laura-san bowing to Aquim-kun, I left the place holding Elana-san and Mina-san's shoulders, who are still covered in sweat.
Still, the two of them are not bad, and they are growing every day, but it is not good to have only Aquim-kun as an instructor, I need to broaden the scope of their training.
“As I thought, I should bring that one.”
"...Did you say something?"
"No... thing!"
"Nhh!? D-don't pick at it every time."
"Are you wet?"
"……Shut up"
Well, well, Elana-san. It seems that the fact that I held her quite seriously the other day is having an effect on her. She can feel it easily. But, well, there are girls who are even more sensitive than her.
"…………What?"
Mina-san noticed Aquim-kun's gaze and asked me in a voice devoid of emotion as much as possible, but unlike in the past, she can't hide her emotions completely. Her heart is beating fast than usual. Above all, the smell of a bitch in heat is completely obvious.
Aquim-kun burst into laughter.
"What is it?"
"Nothing. Don't worry about it."
While taking care of the angry Mina-san, Aquim-kun took the two into his room.
Now then, how shall I take care of them today?
Glad, we're back to the main story. Thanks for the translation.
