Chapter 56: Starting the Conquest of the Older Sister[R-18]
Lorein had always admired her father.
He was a great lord, and an exceptional swordsman.
He was also the first person to teach her the sword.
But he died in an unfortunate carriage accident.
He had encountered a horde of monsters during a patrol.
A simple accident with no one to blame.
In the midst of it all, Lorein made a resolution.
‘I have to protect the family in Dad's place!’
Her younger siblings were still so young.
She felt she had to protect them, her mother, and the estate.
Perhaps it was her sense of responsibility as the eldest daughter, brought to the surface by her father's death.
From then on, Lorein honed her swordsmanship with even greater diligence.
She had no time to play like other children her age, no time for distractions.
That childhood forged her cold personality, making her difficult for others to approach.
But Lorein never cared about such things.
‘All I need is the strength to protect the estate.’
She believed that any shortcomings could be overcome with skill alone.
Was it the result of her pitifully intense determination combined with her natural talent?
Lorein grew into a swordsman so skilled that she graduated at the top of her class from the Academy's Knight Department.
While staying at home, she had even defeated monsters that invaded the estate on several occasions.
Lorein was proud of that fact.
She believed her duty would be fulfilled if she married into a respectable family and used that connection to help the estate.
...But even she had not anticipated it.
The fact that all those long years dedicated to the sword had carved a deep void in her heart.
‘......I want to become stronger.’
The competitiveness and desire for improvement that any swordsman would have.
As someone who was truly serious about the sword, Lorein's desire was just as strong.
Once she married and became someone's wife, she would be given a different role as 'The Lady' of the house.
Days spent in high society, merely pleasing others with forced laughter.
Lorein hated the thought of it.
But considering the estate, she couldn't just postpone marriage indefinitely.
Of course, her mother, Priscilla, would never force her to marry and would support her dreams.
The problem was that Lorein's own sense of responsibility wouldn't allow it.
So, she wanted to reach the level she desired, at least before then. Just before.
Once she achieved that goal, she intended to let go of her lingering attachments.
‘.......It's too far.’
But things weren't going as planned.
Just one more step. That's all it should take.
It felt as if a massive wall stood before her.
It was a thirst like that of a tree in a drought.
Her marriageable age was fast approaching.
The limited time made her anxious.
She trained even harder, but she couldn't see a way forward.
Would she have to live as an ordinary noblewoman, never reaching the level she yearned for?
She felt increasingly suffocated.
Her inability to move forward was incredibly frustrating.
As she was training, burdened by worries she could tell no one...
"Would you like to spar with me?"
A handsome magician who was good with a sword had spoken to her.
I learned something from my recent outdoor sex with Ryuz.
That Lorein jogs every morning, and the sight of her makes men's hearts flutter.
I knew about the former, but the latter was something I hadn't considered.
‘Well, Lorein is like an untouchable flower on a cliff. No man would dare approach her recklessly like they might with Ryuz.’
The unfortunate part is that the same goes for me.
Lorein was still a little wary of me.
Well, we'd gotten pretty close through our sword sparring, but...
That was an acknowledgment of me as a 'swordsman,' not as a 'person.'
She probably has a personality that draws a clear line between her people and everyone else.
‘Still, for someone with Lorein's personality, her affection level has risen quite a bit. At first, she was as cold as ice.’
In any case, the idea of other men ogling Lorein's hot body isn't exactly pleasant.
Deciding to check it out for myself, I went to find Lorein first thing in the morning.
And I was left in awe of her outfit and her figure.
‘Wow, she's incredible.’
Lorein was wearing the amazing combination of a sports bra and dolphin shorts.
With her overwhelming figure dressed like that, she was basically walking porn.
On top of that, her body was drenched in sweat from her run.
Her nape, her breasts, her stomach, her thighs.
It was harder to find a part of her that wasn't a turn-on.
‘Her body is one thing, but... she really showed herself to others dressed like this?’
It seems contradictory for someone so wary of men.
But it was the kind of thing you could do if you thought of other people as little more than event NPCs.
Even now, as she sat down to retie her hair, she was openly showing me her sexy armpits.
The quizzical look she gave me was incredibly alluring.
"...What's going on this early in the morning?"
"Oh, nothing. I just heard you jog every morning, so I thought I'd come see you."
"Suddenly?"
I nodded, wondering how her waist could be so slender when her breasts were so large.
"And I thought we could have our sword sparring session right after. You're already warmed up, and it's a pain to have to wash up twice, right?"
"Hmm, isn't it almost time for Ryuz's lesson?"
"I talked with Ryuz and we changed it to nighttime. The lessons often run long."
To be precise, it was because we'd get sidetracked by sex in the middle of the lesson.
Whenever we were in a private room together, Ryuz would inevitably seduce me.
Since I had no reason to refuse, pinning her to the bed and fucking her had become a frequent pattern.
The problem was that if she passed out from sex in the middle of a session, it was hard to come up with an excuse.
For all her high attack power, once Ryuz started having sex, she'd get completely lost in it and lose all control.
So, we decided to have the lessons at night when we could enjoy ourselves without worry.
"Hmm, I see."
Completely oblivious to the real situation, Lorein gave a fresh smile.
It was a beautiful smile she rarely showed, one the young men of the village would beg to see just once.
"It seems both you and Ryuz are working hard. Thank you."
"There's no need to thank me for doing my job."
"Still, it's a fact that Ryuz has become more skilled with magic thanks to you."
It was true. Ryuz's magic skills had been improving day by day.
Especially her healing magic, in which she was talented enough to rival a magician from the Magic Tower.
I gave a light shrug.
"It's all thanks to Ryuz's hard work. I just helped awaken her talent a little."
"It's good that you think so. Ah, but don't push her too hard. Ryuz is still young."
"I'm keeping it moderate."
Nodding, Lorein stood up.
"Well, alright. I usually rest a bit before training, but doing it right now isn't a bad idea."
Lorein, drenched in sweat and raising her sword with a refreshing smile, was incredibly sexy.
We took our swords and headed to the open ground where we always sparred.
Soon, our swords clashed in the air.
-Clang! Shiiing!
Even when we sparred, we used real swords, not wooden ones.
It was because we both acknowledged that our skills were sufficient to handle it.
Of course, even if something went wrong, I had my magic, so it wasn't a problem.
‘She's definitely getting better. It's hard to even compare her to the first day.’
Constant training and daily sword sparring.
Thanks to that, the diligent Lorein's swordsmanship improved by the day.
Her foundation must have already been solid to begin with.
Hers was a talent that would blossom with just a small trigger.
It felt like her only problem, a lack of real combat experience, was being filled by me.
‘......His older sister is this amazing. So why is that bastard Leon such a piece of shit?’
Seriously, if Lorein had been the Hero instead of Leon, subjugating the Demon King would have been 1000 times easier.
The Hero in the original work was a woman anyway, so gender wouldn't have been an issue.
‘......And she would've been way more popular in the kingdom than Leon, too.’
Lorein has that cool, aloof older sister vibe.
I'm sure she was popular with the girls at the Academy, too.
Plus, her private life is clean and she has a diligent personality, so people can't help but see her in a good light.
As for the men, just one jiggle of those breasts would make them all fall for her.
‘Her body is truly overwhelming. Her male classmates at the Academy must have had a hard time.’
No matter how hard you tried, your eyes would inevitably be drawn to her chest and navel.
Of course, getting to look at that sexy body was a pleasure for me, too.
Every time she swung her sword, her full breasts swayed dynamically.
Those weren't breasts you could hide, no matter what kind of bra you wore.
"Stop getting distracted and focus!"
Just then, Lorein shouted as she swung her sword in a swift diagonal slash.
Immediately following, a swing from the opposite direction aimed for my legs.
I blocked the flurry of attacks with a reverse grip.
-Claaang!!
The metal blades clashed violently and recoiled.
Lorein used a swordsmanship style that was very faithful to the basics.
This is a characteristic of swordsmen who practice a lot.
Perhaps because of that, the occasional unorthodox move like this was quite threatening.
‘She's fast.’
Without realizing it, I had blocked her with my full strength for a moment.
Seeing that, Lorein frowned.
She was frustrated that her attack was blocked, but the real reason was my attitude.
Lately, Lorein had started to realize that I was going easy on her.
‘It means her skills have improved that much. As you reach a higher level, you start to see things differently.’
However, regardless of her growth, it must have been a blow to her pride.
A magician, not even a fellow swordsman, going easy on her during a spar.
And Lorein already had immense pride in her swordsmanship.
At times like this, she always looked visibly frustrated.
"...You're amazing, as always. That was a finishing blow I'd been saving for just this moment."
"It was quite sharp. A good attack."
"Spare me the empty compliments."
Uncharacteristically, Lorein looked a little dejected.
Looking closely, I saw she was lightly rotating her shoulder as if stretching.
The glimpses of her sweat-drenched armpits each time she moved were alluring.
"Are you a little tired from sparring right after your run?"
"Hm? Ah... it's not that. I just haven't been in the best condition lately."
"Aren't you overworking yourself?"
Lorein's training regimen was a bit extreme.
When you're still lacking, it's better to push yourself hard.
But for a swordsman like Lorein, who was already quite accomplished, it could actually ruin her body.
"Mmm, maybe so. I've had a lot on my mind lately, and I've been feeling impatient."
It seems she's bothered by the fact that she still can't overcome the 'wall'.
Well, that's something only time can solve.
The problem is that Lorein herself doesn't have the luxury of time.
‘It'll be a pain if she gets sick or injured.’
I'm planning to start my conquest in earnest, and I don't want to be delayed by something like that.
And as it happened, this situation seemed like something I could use for my conquest.
I said, hiding a smile.
"If your body feels uncomfortable, shall I give you a massage?"
