Black Iron Magician

Chapter 304 God’s Hands

「KYAAAAAAAAAH!?」

Touko’s loud scream echoed throughout the vast dome. She holds down the area around her crotch with both hands while crouching. She’s wearing short pants, not a skirt, so she probably did it out of reflex.

「Hahaha, what’s wrong~? Not just your panties, but your scream is cute too~. I thought Lily-han had trained you thoroughly to the core~. Well, men like girls who show such a reaction, so she probably anticipated that.」

Alezel hangs Touko’s panties on her fingertip and begins to spin them around. Touko, who’s glaring at Alezel with teary eyes and a red face, can’t move and can’t even speak.

「A-Alezel-san, what are you doing!?」

「Well, there’s no rule saying that I can’t attack you at all, so I will play a trick on the one who showed an opening the most. As I said before, my job is a thief. I’ve turned over a new leaf and became a merchant, but I think it would be rude not to use my strong point if I’m gonna train you.」

Yeah, Alezel’s main job is not a merchant, but a notorious thief. Alezel was once called the God’s Hands in the thief world, and she can easily steal people’s equipment just like when she stripped Touko’s panties. I don’t know how many I’ve suffered from those sticky fingers in the past…!

「So, you’re saying that we should attack you while slipping through your mischief?」

「That’s right~. As expected of Chinacchan, you’re so quick on the uptake. Well, I won’t do it if you show almost no opening, y’know? Whether it’s close combat or attacking with magic from a distance, if you let your guard down… you know what will happen, right?」

「A-Are you telling us to do it while Deris-danna is watching!?」

「That’s right. Ain’t it fine? You can show him all you want. Touko-chan, you’ve got a nice body after all. Deris is a lucky guy, huh~. He can’t stop watching us because he wouldn’t know what a problem child like me will do~. My~, bringing beautiful girls into the beautiful scenery was worth it!」

Rather than that, I can’t help but scared of death socially! Besides, I don’t know what kind of punishment will come down to me when Nell wakes up…. Should I stop Alezel now? But after all this preparation, it would be a shame to stop the training that she devised. Hmm….

「Hmm, he doesn’t seem to enjoy it, huh?」

「Alezel-san. Shishō is the type who worries more about future misfortune than present good luck, you know?」

「Well, I guess so. Then, it can’t be helped, I won’t steal your underwear.」

「Then, give it back!」

「Yeah, yeah, I’ll give it back. Here.」

When Alezel said so, Touko’s panties disappeared from her fingertip. It’s not that she made it disappear with a magic trick or anything. If she can steal it, then it’s possible for her to put it back. She returned it at high speed to where it belonged.

「――――!?」

Yeah, I know exactly how Touko feels. Her red face is completely boiled.

「I-I will kill you…!」

「Oh~, you said something scary, but I couldn’t hear it well because your voice was so small~. Let’s see how long you can keep up that spirit. I mean, both me and Deris will see it!」

「Uuhh….」

Hey, don’t drag me into this.

「Deris is making a scary face, huh~. Well then, I will tell you the essence of this training.」

「Alezel-san, question!」

「What’s it, Haru-chan?」

「Is it a training to build up our courage?」

「Well, that’s one of the objectives. From what I see, you guys have been through a lot of battle scenes. You have the ability equivalent to level 7, and your ability to act and think flexibly in battle is top notch. However, can you still show the same power when you’re faced with a situation like before where you’re made aware that you’re a woman? It’s not all pretty in this world, y’know?」

「That’s….」

「…… Damn!」

Chinatsu and Touko were at a loss for an answer. On the other hand, Haru and Zeta listened to Alezel’s talk with a serious look.

「Hmm, your reactions told me who are the ones with lack preparedness. Well, if you don’t want your clothes to be taken off, just make sure you don’t let your guard down even a bit while playing tag. This is the second objective of the training: you have to maintain a high level of concentration for a long time! Well, this one also seems to be Haru-chan’s strong point~」

「Ehehe!」

After all, Haru’s daily life is to give her all in everything.

「I’ll tell you in advance, you can’t slack off, y’know~? It’s rude to play tag if the it doesn’t give its all. You have to do your best to chase me, you have to do your best to attack me, and you have to do your best to use your brain. Let’s do our best until the area exchange time!」

I see, so she added the area exchange time as an interval for that sake, huh. In short, they have to become Haru during their training. If they can’t, they will be undressed. That’s a threat that girls absolutely want to avoid. It makes sense, but… I would end up as an accomplice at this rate, right?

「Deris~! If you don’t watch it, it won’t be training at all! You have to watch it like you’re trying to burn it into your eyes!」

Yep, she’s making me an accomplice.

「Alright. Then, let’s start again.」

And it suddenly started again.

As the three tried to chase after Alezel at once, Touko, who was taken aback, had one of her shoes stolen, showing her barefoot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

「Okay, it’s over~. What’s wrong? You couldn’t even touch me~」

After that, with a break in between, the ten-minute playing tag was continued several times. This is the end of the third round, but far from touching Alezel, the girls couldn’t even hit her with their attacks. If they slackened or stopped even for a moment, they would be stripped of their clothes, exposing their skin. To prevent this from happening, the four of them struggled and used their brains to keep attacking Alezel.

「It’s a good workout, isn’t it!?」

「Wheeze….」

「Uuhh….」

「Haa…. A-As expected of Alezel-sama, this training method is intense…!」

And this is the result. Haru, who doesn’t the way other than doing her best, seems to be moderately tired, but as soon as break time came, the other three fell with their hands and knees on the ground.

「Well then, I will return the clothes and other things that I stole~. Come on, don’t sleep and get dressed now! If you’re not wearing anything when the next round starts, I’ll take off your bra and panties~」

「Yes….」

「D-Damn it….」

The stolen clothes were returned and the three stood up. By the way, Haru is the number one player who put a good fight so far. Believe it or not, she hasn’t had her equipment taken off in any of the three rounds so far. Alezel must have judged that Haru showed no opening.

Zeta is in second place, and Chinatsu is in third place by a small margin. I think they’re on the right track, but it’s probably too much to ask for the same level of concentration as Haru. Still, they managed to settle it in a half-naked state. I won’t say that it’s rather indecent or anything. …… And at the lowest place is Touko. Each round, she ended up dressed only in her underwear.

「Oi, you were focusing on targeting me, weren’t you!?」

「No, no~. I’m a fair Alezel-chan~. I’m by no means thinking that yours are worth taking off.」

「Damn you…!」

In fact, I’m sure that Alezel is being fair, but I can’t help but feel suspicious from the way she’s talking. In a way, maybe Touko will grow the most in this training.
