Chapter 104


CHAPTER 104 – SLY MAN, WILY MAN



Ahead of Yalcon, there is the town called Yufrates .


The barbarian army that lost the Ten Thousand Men General Tanashi in the battlefield was greatly shaken .


It just means that he was such a huge existence .


When I reorganized the remaining troops and advanced up to Yufrates, the man who named himself as the vice-general sent an envoy and offered a surrender in return for the guarantee of his life .


I accepted it .



In the town of Yufrates .


It is the most developed town in Siracuza’s territory and a town that has been prosperous in commerce and culture for a very long time .


Most of the merchants make their footholds here, and many cultured people also live here .


It is that kind of town .


We leisurely entered that Yufrates .


A large palanquin entered the town while protected by soldiers .


Described with a few words, that is something like a king-sized bed with a roof .


Its size is that of a bed but it is made as a sofa . Fiona and Marie are riding that .


Ten soldiers carry that in each direction in a total of 40 men .


At first, I thought of making the two ride a carriage, but Aura softly rejected it .


It is Aura who is “a royalty closer to the people” than Helen and Rica .


「This is more like a royalty」


She said .


It is an idea that would not come from Rica who was mostly confined in the past and Helen whose talents are concentrated to the military .


Of course, I don’t as well but, I can understand .


Being carried by people is more prestigious than being carried by wheels .


That’s why I did that .


Fiona and Marie who are riding that palanquin is wearing clothes for royalties .


They really seemed like it adding it with the palanquin .


「I-I’m so nervous」


「Onee-chan, get a hold of yourself」


Fiona had a very nervous expression like she reported herself .


Marie who encourages her but actually nervous at the same level .


They look fine when far away but faults might be seen when near .


That palanquin that carries the two entered the town and slowly advanced through the main street .


The citizen of Yufrates gathered at the street sides and welcomed them with cheers .


It’s the same at the time in Chigris .


The citizens are happy that people of Siracuza have returned, they are glad that the royalties returned .


I thought of why at that time, but seeing Tanashi, I understood .


The barbarian army, they have yet to capture the hearts of the people .


Probably, they have complaints .


And that turns and turns, becoming the welcome to the Siracuza related Fiona-sisters .


However, that welcome, it became pressure for Fiona and Marie .


「Fiona-sama banzai!」


「Marie-sama banzai!!」


Voices that commend the two could be heard from here and there .


And with that, it resulted to the two becoming little because of nervousness .


I walked at the side of the palanquin and looked up to the two, then said .


「Fiona, Marie . You can take it easy」


「Kakeru-san……」


「Whatever happens, I’m with you」


Fiona had a stunned face .


「Onee-chan, get a hold of yourself」


Marie said exactly the same words as earlier, but, the tone of her voice is different .


What’s there was not nervousness but excitement?


It was not licking each other’s wounds, it is a strong tone that encourages her big sister .


「We shouldn’t put shame for Kakeru-san . Look, everyone’s looking」


Marie said that, and looked at the other side of the palanquin .


I thought that “everyone” is about the citizen, but what Marie looked at was not that .


It’s Helen, Rica, and Aura who are walking beside the palanquin .


The head of three countries, the disguised girls who are marching beside my unit .


Marie says while staring at them .


「If we become timid and uncomely here, they’ll get disappointed」


「……that is right, huh . Un, we shouldn’t behave strangely huh」


「Un!」


Fiona regained herself and Marie nodded clearly to her big sister’s reply .


I don’t know why Helen, Rica, and Aura has something to do with that right now .


『You’re really loved huh』


Eleanor said . It’s with a half-teasing tone .


「What do you mean?」


『Those girls, Helen, Rica, and Aura, they are people who fulfill their jobs properly as royalty . At the same time, they behave so, that they would not put shame as your woman』


「I guess so」


I somehow felt it like that .


I feel like they’re trying to do their best both at public and private .


『The sisters, they just said that they must not lose against them . A royalty but your woman as well . Their target of comparison is those three』


「Ahh, I see」


I got convinced .


It’s true that Fiona and Marie’s position is exactly that of the three .


It is normal to compare their selves to them .


Honestly, I don’t really care about that, either way, Fiona and Marie are my women .


However, while this and that happened, the two calmed down .


On the palanquin, the started to act like royalty, not losing to their clothes .


“If so, then that is good as well”, I thought .



Traditionally, the king of Siracuza places their palace on the north side and the queen’s palace on the sound side .


The royal capital is exactly that .


Then, what if it’s with a queenーーI entered a mansion on the north side of Yufrates .


There is an audience hall that is made quickly in that mansion and Fiona and Marie lined up their throne .


Fiona on the left and Marie on the right .


I stood diagonally to the twoーーthe so-called ministerial position .


「I am called Murato Feris . I am honored to be at the presence of Your Highnesses」


A man wearing armor kneeled and greeted the two .


「It is an honor as well to meet Yuuki, His Excellency」


The Siracuza Baron greeted me as well .


「Are you the one in charge of this town?」


Fiona asked Murato with a frank tone .


「No, the one in charge, it is the Ten Thousand Men Generalーーoh, it is Tanashi who governed Yufrates . I am his aide . So, well, I am the one in charge but I was not just a while ago」


「Aide?」


Marie tilted her head .


Murato started his supplementary explanation in a hurry .


「Yes . Well, that guy was a terrible guy . I tried to stop him many times, but he is not someone who would listen to other people . He is really acting without consultation, everything was done by that man, yes」


Murato spoke very quickly from the beginning .


His mouth had foams and spat saliva while talking .


He is a disgusting guy in a lot of meaning .


『Kukuku, he is avoiding the responsibility at all costs』


At the same time, he’s seeking favor from Fiona and Marie .


Well, I understand . I understand wanting to do that .


He’s really “that” as a human, but I’ll ignore it for now .


Compared to guys like Theo who you wouldn’t know when he’s going to betray, guys like this are easier to control .


If he’s seeking a big tree, we only need to be one .


『You’re saying better words now huh』


I’m not saying it though .


I continued talking to Eleanor inside my mind .


While that happened, Murato continued his fawning .


「So, it is not like that, please leave Hidekel to me . The guy in there is an acquaintance for a very long time, so if I persuade」


「Hidekel?」


I got between his words .


「It is the name of the fortress west of Yalcon . It is in between Chigris and Yufrates . Originally, it is a place that is good for watching enemies, but right now, it is isolated instead」


「I see」


The sphere of influence was severed thanks to the entry to Yufrates huh .


「That is why, with a light〜 persuasion」


I really hear it lightly the way he said it .


「Persuasion huh〜」


「What do you think, Onee-chan」


The two thought of it deeply, and the result of that, they looked at me asking for help .


I did a light cough and said .


「As Your Majesties wish」


I stared at the two while I said that .


I implicitly said that “do what you want, I’ll take care of it if anything happens” .


And that……they understood it correctly .


Fiona and Marie looked at Murato .


「Well then, can you persuade them」


「Please leave it to me!」


Murato said while he pounded his chest .


A face full of smiles, joy from being appointed an important position by the Queen huh .


「If it fails, Kakeru-san, please」


With Marie’s additional words, his shoulders dropped that even I pitied him a bit .



I left the audience hall and walked through a corridor .


I left to Nana guarding Fiona and Marie .


And when I was walking through the corridor like that, one woman came, guided by a servant .


A black silk hat and a dress that shows a lot of back skin .


A woman who naturally releases a different kind of sexiness from the noble and royalty’s elegance .


Delfina Homers Lanmari .


A female merchant who is said to have wealth equal to that of a country .


「It has been a long time, Kakeru-sama」


「Yeah」


We stopped and Delfina and I talked .


The servant that guided her silently walked to the wall side, taking distance to not be on our way .


「You came」


「Yes, just now」


「How was it? Did you earn a lot?」


「Yes, very much」


Delfina smiled gracefully .


「I see, good for you then」


I said that and put a hand around Delfina’s waist .


It was a movement without warning, unable to react, she landed within my arms .


And after thatーーI kissed her .


I sucked her sweet smelling lips .


I enjoyed her lips, unlike how she looks, she becomes just a girl the instant she enters my arms .


After enjoying that leisurely, I released here .


「……what is it so suddenly?」


「You earned a lot right? It’s all thanks to me . It’s my share」


「What a wily man」


Delfina made a sulking face . I already released her from my arms but she is still lovely .


Cute rather than pretty .


She took a breath and made a serious face .


Then, she told me .


「Kakeru-sama . I wish to receive permission」


「What, permission?」


「Actually, I am thinking of profiting from selling information, not just supplies」


「Information?」


What information?


I thought about Theo for an instant and my eyebrows moved .


「Please do not misunderstand, What I wish to sell is Kakeru-sama’s information and the Demon Sword’s information . About the real Demon Sword, about the Demon Sword that newly appeared, and about the Demon Sword Wielder who uses them . I am thinking of selling those three」


「……will you get profits from that?」


I thought for a bit, but I couldn’t get it .


Can that be turned into money?


「I can just say, it depends on how to sell it」


「I see」


I don’t understand anything, but since Delfina says so, she would probably earn from that .


If so, that is alright .


「I can allow you, but I have a condition」


「Is it about your share?」


She said mischievously . I ignored that .


「It’s a secret that Hikari can turn into a human . It is only aboutーーDemon Sword Hikari」


「Yes, I understand」


She said with a face saying “of course” .


「Then it’s fine」


There’s no problem as long as she protects that .


『You doting parent』


I ignored Eleanor’s teasing words just as usual .


And, I started walking with my hand around Delfina .


Delfina and the servant that guided her got surprised .


「Kakeru-sama?」


「Do you have plans after this?」


「Greetings for Her Majestiesーー」


「Then, go with me」


It’s alright if it’s Fiona and Marie if I told them later .


And just like that, I pulled Delfina to the nearest room .


There’s a bed inside . Bingo .


I pulled her inside, and the servant closed the door in a panic .


And, I kissed her .


The second kiss for the day .


Delfina was quick to match the movement of our mouth and tongue .


After kissing for a while, I released her .


She had a far more feverish face compared to earlier .


「What is it so suddenly?」


「I’ll take my share」


「Eh? Did you not want it」


「I didn’t say I don’t want anything」


「T-That is true……」


「You don’t want to?」


「……」


Delfina made a sulking face .


「……what a wily man」


I embraced Delfina .


I poured the accumulated fervor that I got from the battle earlier into her .


「What a terrible man……」


It became late in the night and she whispered exhaustingly .


As I’ve thought, Delfina is ridiculously cute in times like this .
