Episode 33: Commemorative SS
This happened a few weeks ago.
"......It has already progressed that far."
"Ha. So I have asked you to take the cargo to the city of Gruve instead of here."
The imperial territory of Gruve City has fallen.
When we, the supply unit, heard such a report in Kraha, a short distance away from Gruve, we were in a despondent mood, despite the victorious mood on the frontlines.
But it was understandable. This was the third time we had to go back and forth to different places to deliver supplies.
"We're leaving Brumud Castle, but we're still carrying the same luggage, right?"
"......I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
In response to my grief, the soldier in front of me said so and looked away.
It was the first time that I was able to hand it over properly, and nowadays it is common for me to get shuffled around.
I felt like it was time to get seriously angry, and I resolved that uncontrollable feeling by kicking the wheels off the back of the carriage...... Damn, my toes hurt like hell.
"Anyway, it's late at night, so why don't we take a rest here and leave tomorrow?"
"You rode your horse here all night to bring it in early......"
"......"
Even though the proposal was made out of concern for me, I could not accept it with an open mind and a sarcastic remark spilled out of my mouth.
"Y-young master. Let's just take his word and call it a day!"
Armes, who was standing behind me, took note of our exchange and said something to the effect that would take care of the situation, and the members of the supply unit nodded in agreement.
No, I'm really thankful too, you know?
After such an exchange, the place that was assigned to us was in a good location, even here in Kraha City.
Originally, the city developed through water transportation using the nearby stream, and the entire city is lined with waterways like a maze.
The night breeze coming in through the window of my room was moist but strangely pleasant, and the sound of running water coming from the rivers was also pleasing.
"……Die."
However, I was not able to enjoy such a location, and it was only a few minutes ago that I assigned rooms to each person in my unit, which is not a small number, and made them aware of tomorrow's schedule so that they could finally rest in their own rooms, and I was not able to have a bath or a meal. All I had left was to throw myself on the bed and mutter to myself.
"Excuse me."
Then there was a knock at the door, and Armes, dressed in loose-fitting loungewear, entered the room with a low voice.
Unlike her knightly attire, her dark purple hair was already undone and danced softly whenever she approached me. The sweet scent of shampoo, perhaps after a bath, tickled my nose, and my heart raced, partly because I haven't been having sex for the past few days.
I was drawn to her large brown breasts and cleavage that pushed up the fabric of the loungewear she was wearing, and I hurriedly buried my face in the pillow.
"What do you want?"
I tried to speak calmly and normally, but failed, and my voice sounded somewhat gruff.
"I was told by Elfie-sama that young master hadn't eaten, so I thought I would at least wipe your back if you're not going to eat...... Am I interrupting?"
Armes also sounded deeply apologetic at the sound of my voice, and said, "Shall I leave the room?", she implicitly told me that.
I glanced in her direction and saw a plate of bread and bacon, and a wooden tub of water, and a towel in both hands.
"No, it's okay. Thank you, Armes."
As expected, my heart is not so cold as to turn away Armes, who has visited me out of concern while I myself am tired.
I instruct her to put the things on the table a little distance away from the bed, and I finally raise my own body, which felt heavy.
"Besides, it's just the two of us now, so you don't have to be stiff.
When I said that to her, Armes scowled, then put her hand over her mouth and laughed.
"You said the same thing before."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, long ago."
Putting the plate and tub on the table, Armes turned around lightly and asked.
"Do you want to eat first? Or do you want to take a bath?"
"Hmm, both"
"Which is it, Nii-san?"
Aside from the giggling Armes, I pick up a plate of bread and bacon.
"I'm going to be eating this, so wipe my back in the meantime. That way we can do both."
"Yes, yes. Ah, take off the top, Nii-san."
I thought it was a way to use my time efficiently, but for some reason, Armes, who looked at me, was like a mother, and it made me feel a little queasy.
As I was told, I took off my jacket and bit into a piece of bread on the plate.
"...What the hell is this!?"
The bread, which cannot be said to be delicious as a compliment, is in a dry state with even a small amount of water removed, and it made my mouth feel dry.
I took a sip of water directly from the pitcher and swallowed it down, but I still couldn't shake off the taste.
"Armes, this."
I climbed into the bed and showed the shitty bread to Armes, who was on her knees behind me and started talking with a slightly embarrassed look on her face.
"It seems that most of the food was consumed at the victory party when the main force was staying here, and now there are only stockpiles here in the city."
"They won the battle and just dropped a few cities...... what the hell are they doing?"
They are too quick to get carried away and too careless.
Well, one reason for that would be because there is no enemy resistance. I heard that this place was invaded without spilling blood, and I also heard that the city of Gruve, where we will be heading tomorrow, is in the same condition.
I'm wondering if there will be a full-scale battle at Jubelia Castle beyond that, but I don't know what will happen.
"I don't know how they didn't antagonize them by doing that. I mean, they took all the food in town, right? Normally we'd be in all kinds of trouble......"
"Well, maybe it's because of the high tags they put up in town?"
"High tag?
Was there such a thing? As I was searching my memory for the time before I came here, Armes, who was behind me, picked up a towel submerged in a wooden bucket of water and wrung out the water, opened her mouth.
"There were some signs here and there in the central square and on the streets, and I think they said that disorderly behavior was forbidden in the city."
Rudeness and violence...... In other words, there are many cases of violence and robbery in the city on the part of the soldiers of the kingdom, as well as rape of civilian women by soldiers, which is a common occurrence. It seems that they have been ordered to refrain from such behavior.
"The guard here just told us that our demands are relatively easy to meet."
"……I see."
If one were to ask what is the most difficult thing for an army to do when it stayed in an occupied city in a hostile territory, it is to gain the support of the citizens or to gain the cooperation of the citizens in case of any problems. And the more strategically important a city is, the more the aggressor has to worry about it.
In this case, the city of Kraha, the city could serve as a bridgehead for an attack on the empire, and above all, it could be a military base for the kingdom's next target, Gruve City, or Jubelia Castle in the empire's territory.
It would not be surprising if a high tag was raised to show a certain level of respect and consideration for them.
But this time, there is probably another reason.
"It's probably because the prince is unmarried. Especially the part about not attacking women."
"Why?"
Armes tilts her head as she carefully wiped my back.
"Because when you're an unmarried royalty, you can't have sex with any of the women until you get a wife. If that virgin prince can't have a woman, why should the soldiers and knights?"
It is a mysterious custom of the nobility to not take a woman until they were married. It would be more important the higher the nobility, such as the royal family or the Fregrance family, the more importance would be placed on it.
Such is the case with that virgin prince. He probably has a hard time accepting the idea that he should rely on his right hand while everyone else is having sex.
But, well, I would have done the same thing if I were in the same position, and that's something the whole army shares, so I guess I won't complain.
......Well, hiding in the shadows, it seems that the nobles and the high-ranking knights are secretly bringing in their favorite concubines.
"So it's probably a consideration for the prince. Well, I'm not so sure about allowing rape......"
If neighboring countries were to find out that we were actually doing something like that in the background of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, they would never look at us favorably. Or rather, the Principality and the Federation allied against the empire might become anti-kingdom at once.
As I was biting into a piece of bacon that tasted like dried meat and was very salty, unlike the delicious bacon I had eaten in Royal Capital, I was talking to myself about what was on the high tag, when suddenly Armes' hand, who was wiping my body behind me, stopped.
"What's up?"
"That... does that mean, Nii-san is, you know, holding back?"
"Huh?"
When I turned around, I saw Armes with a blushing face staring at me as if to ask me how I was doing.
"Well, that's hard, isn't it?"
"No, I'm not holding back, so it's not that it's hard for me......"
I certainly don't remember having sex with anyone during this march, or rather on the supply unit. In case you are wondering, I was supposed to have sex with Lady Ritia, the eldest daughter of the Fregrance family, during this war, but since she doesn't seem to be in very good health, I've been holding off.
Does it look like I'm holding back? No, it's still okay because I did it with Mashiro before we departed......
"......"
"......"
We both didn't speak, and because I was thinking about such things myself, the atmosphere began to feel somewhat awkward.
"Do you want to do it again?"
"Huh!?"
Perhaps sensing the mood, Armes stuck to my back while saying so.
The two soft sensations that I could feel even through her clothes and the fact that my back had been wiped with a cold towel in the first place made Armes' body heat stand out even more and made me scream in a crazy way that I've never made before.
"If it's hard for you, I'll......"
"......!"
The softness of the two twin hills pressed to me and the whispering in my ear sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn't help but want to fuck up Armes here!
No, it's not good. This is a really bad one. I should never push Armes down on impulse, not before, not now.
"Wait, wait, wait! Like I said earlier, I'm not holding back or being in pain!"
"...But there, Nii-san."
"It's a physiological reaction! That's what happens to every man when a girl got close to him like you just did!"
Or rather, don't say a line like "Your body is honest even if you say that"!
"Anyway, stay away. I'm fine."
The soft feeling still clinging to my back brought the evil feelings inside me into a whirlwind, and if I don't get away from her soon, I will lose control.
"You don't like it, Nii-san?"
"No, that's not why I said that."
I'm not talking about not wanting to, but it's seriously not good.
But when I turned around to push her away, I saw Armes with a sad or anxious look on her face, and my hand stopped.
"Am I not a good enough substitute for you?"
"Armes...?"
I don't know what you mean by "substitute," or that I have no intention of using Armes to relieve my sexual desire in the first place, but I'm sure Armes would know these things without saying them.
Nevertheless,
"Do you hate me, Nii-san?"
......Why do you look like that, you idiot?
"......I don't hate it, but I don't like it."
"Mugyuu."
Slightly annoyed, I pinched Armes' cheek.
"What does that mean?"
"Ah, damn it! I don't like that I would treat you like such a tool in the first place."
"Eh?"
I tell Armes exactly what I was thinking while getting annoyed.
But the truth is, I don't really want to say this in front of her. You know, it's kind of embarrassing.
"I don't hate being with a pretty girl like you."
But once I said it, the rest of the words came out one after another.
"I just don't like it when we do it now because it makes me feel like I'm treating you like a tool."
"Even though I said it was okay?"
"Yeah, and, you're my precious step-sister, okay? Yes, we did it before, but I did it because I like you, you know......"
Armes's origins and her circumstances are despised and scorned by the rest, and if I were to embrace her here just to satisfy my sexual desires, it could cause unnecessary hostility.
I don't want Armes to think that way, and moreover, I don't like myself for thinking that way.
I know it's not for her sake but for mine, but I still want to have Armes as my sister and family. If I were to forcibly rape her, that connection would be broken.
"Nii-san..."
"I don't want to hold you until I want to hold you, regardless of what I have to endure. At least not right now, especially......."
When I say that much, Armes unexpectedly hugged me, leaning further, and the soft touch became even more sensitive.
"Hey, Armes...⁉"
"Thank you, Nii-san."
I tried to stop her in a hurry, but the words she whispered in my ear had a hint of warmth, and I could tell that Armes was smiling happily even without looking at her face.
"Thank you for thinking of me that much."
"No, it's natural. We're brother and sister."
Even though there is no blood connection, Armes is still a precious sister. This feeling will never change no matter what.
She finally listened and slowly pulled her body away from me, and this time she whispered to me in a voice I had never heard before, a voice that sounded like a teasing little devil.
"Then let's have a lot of fun after this is over."
"Y-yeah."
I could do nothing but nod at the whisper of such a little devil.
