Strong-willed females should be beaten once every three days.
Strong-willed females should be beaten once every three days.
I entered the mansion at the eastern fortress while being thoroughly ignored.
While following the knight guiding me, the others, who were without me, seemed quite cheerful.
Noel, knowing I didn't really care anyway, would occasionally look back and give a wry smile.
Our sweet Saintess-nim kept looking back and checking my expression, looking flustered even while smiling in the front.
I didn't really have any particular thoughts, though.
"Haa!!"
"Hryap!!"
While walking around the mansion, I saw something like a training ground between moving to another building.
Knights were there, holding wooden swords and swinging them at each other for sparring, and our group watched the spectacle for a moment.
That bitch is starting again.
"Isn't it magnificent? Our knights always devote themselves to sparring and training like this to hone their bodies. However..."
That bitch looked at me and sneered as she continued.
"I don't know how it is for someone frivolous like you."
I started to get heated, and before I could say anything, thankfully... yes, thankfully, Noel stepped up first.
"Raul has worked hard too! He's always running around the mountains and bringing back so much meat!"
"....Hero-nim. We knights wear armor like this, run through the forest, and block demons at the frontier. Even if we are comrades... and friends... you're just a hunter.
It's not good to coddle him too much, you know?"
"No... that..."
Yeah, Noel. Good job. At least you tried to stand up to that scary-looking bitch.
"So what do you want to do about it?"
"...Ha. You've got some pride, huh?"
I spat those words out without hiding my irritation at all, and the bitch glared at me with venomous eyes.
"All talk, aren't you? Aren't you ashamed to call yourself a knight?"
"Ha! All talk?"
She's small in build and height. It was funny seeing her get all worked up and get in my face.
Still, she must have good instincts; the fact that she looked slightly scared was impressive.
"If you're that dissatisfied with my skills, want to spar?"
"Ha? You. With me?"
I wanted to fix that distorted expression with my fist immediately, but... anyway, she's a woman... so I held back as much as I could and waited for an answer.
"Ha! Fine, get out to the training ground. I'll personally correct that arrogant attitude of yours."
"Ha..."
My face is probably distorted right now, making it hard to look at.
I sometimes back away in fear when I get up to wash my face, too.
"Um... Raul...."
I turned around at the pitiful voice and saw the Saintess standing there.
"Do we... really have to do this...? We're comrades who are going on a journey together..."
"....."
"Ah... did I speak too arrogantly...?"
I don't really want to say this, but yeah, this is what a woman is. Not some crazy bitch starting a pissing contest like that.
"No... I mean, close friends fight too, right? Think of it as something like that."
"Ah... is that so...?"
The Saintess tilting her head slightly in confusion was incredibly adorable.
If there was no one around, I might have hugged her pretending it was a mistake...
"Come out. Raul!"
"Ah...."
"Don't worry. I'll go easy on you."
"...! Yes! Be careful~!"
Supported by her cheering, nodding her head along with her chest, I went to the center of the training ground.
The crazy bitch had left her sword and was taking a stance with her bare hands.
"Not using a sword?"
"A sword is a waste on a guy like you."
Crackle... crack...
I clenched and unclenched my fists to loosen up, and the crazy bitch took a stance.
"Kyaaa—! Ugh?!"
She tried to rush at me screaming, so I punched her in the stomach first, and she seemed to be in quite a bit of pain. The crazy bitch cowered.
"Ughhh... Die!! Uh...?"
She seemed to have come to her senses and rushed at me screaming again, so I immediately raised my fist.
Bam—!
"Khuph..."
The crazy bitch just stupidly took the hit again. I'm starting to doubt if this is really the commander of the knights.
The crazy bitch was breathing heavily, her pupils dilating.
"You... savage... bastard...."
".....Are you turned on?"
"What the hell are you talking about!!!"
I teased her a bit, and since it didn't seem to be a problem, she charged forward again like a wild boar.
"Why...! Why aren't you getting hit!!"
Crude. It's really worse than the old men in my village.
I wonder if it would be different if she held a sword.
I wonder if she's like this because she's never actually fought with her fists.
Bam—
"Kuh....?"
"Ugh... ugh... you... you...."
Was this the last one? The crazy... sigh... Claire, who was pathetically collapsed and looking up at me.
No matter what, I'm starting to feel a little sorry after beating her this much.
"Stop. I lost."
"What...?"
"I said I lost. You're fucking tough."
"What the hell are you...! Hey! Where are you going!! Hey!!!"
Ah, I can't hear you. I can't hear you.
I can hear her still screaming at the top of her lungs because she's still frustrated, but she's not actually catching up to me.
And above all, the biggest question is whether it's really helpful to accept her as a comrade.
I was seriously doubting it.
Still, if she had held a sword, it would have definitely been different. At least she seems to have built up that much stamina and body.
But the problem is that the idiot herself threw away her sword.
"Hoeee..."
"....Hey? Seraphina...?"
What's wrong with her?
She was standing there looking really stupid with both cheeks red. Why on earth is she like this?
"Seraphina."
"Hoe?! Yes... yes?! Ah, did you call me?"
"....You're not sick, are you?"
"Ahaha... yes... I'm... fine..."
Gulp.
Contrary to her saying she was fine, my nose told me that she was aroused and harboring lust right now, with the sweet scent of a female wafting from her body.
She was twisting her body, not knowing what to do—a virgin struggling pitifully because she didn't know what kind of emotion it was, even though she was in heat.
I turned my gaze for a moment to look at Claire, and Noel was subtly turning his gaze this way while pretending to worry about her.
Disgustingly, that bastard's face is red like Seraphina's.
Fucking bullshit.
"Let's go in. You don't look well."
"Yes? Ah, no! I'm perfectly fine... heuk?!"
"Look at this. I just put my hand on your shoulder, and you're reacting excessively."
"Ah... au... I'm really fine.... ah...! Noel, you too...!"
"Shut up, let's go."
-Whoa?! The Hero-nim's sword is glowing!
-Ah! Is he trying to heal Claire-nim?
-No, but it looks like it's just glowing...
Sigh, seriously, that again.
My head hurts even more from the commotion heard behind me while I was putting my arm on Seraphina's shoulder and dragging her away...
"...Let's go and sleep. My head hurts too."
"Ah... if it hurts too much... should I heal you...?"
"....No, it'll get better if I sleep."
I hesitated for a moment.
◆
Today was a very... confusing day.
Claire, who was strangely hostile to Raul.
And Raul, who subdued such a Claire...
I wasn't scared. Because we are comrades who will defeat the Demon King together. And because I had faith that Raul would never do anything too harsh!
Still... I thought... it might have been a bit... too much.
He hit Claire-nim, who kept getting up, over and over... with his fist...
Hit her... and hit her... and hit her again...
In the end, Claire-nim didn't admit defeat and... um... I'm a bit hesitant to say this, but she collapsed in a... pathetic state.
In the end, Raul just said he lost and came to me.
First of all, before I give this confession. I want to say I'm not a pervert! I'm really not!
Ahem, anyway... the... seeing him approach me with his thick forearms and his back to the sun, my lower belly felt a tingling... pain...? No, it felt like it was ringing.
And I wondered if that arm would also... my belly...
I can't help it. But when I saw Claire collapsing from Raul's fist, it looked so good to me...
When she was hit for the first 2 times, I definitely saw it.
The lower part of her body getting slightly wet from his fist...
No, am I lewd?!
What on earth have I been thinking until now... I think I'll have to ask for permission tonight to visit the cathedral and repent for my sins to Eria-nim.
Ugh... it feels a bit... sticky down there too...
This is because Raul touched my body recklessly... if he wraps his arm around my shoulder with such a thick arm, it's an unavoidable reaction...
◆
If I had to pick the most excellent choice in my life...
It's bringing Raul as my friend and into this Hero party.
I held back as much as I could so I wouldn't have to beg when we left Netoru Village, but when Claire was being ravished by Raul helplessly...
The sight of her finally collapsing pathetically and shaking her hips while looking up at Raul was... truly....
Ah, the most important thing is that even though she was hit like that, it was clearly visible that her lower garment was definitely wet.
To be honest, I was a little disappointed that she felt pleasure already without her emotions being fully completed...
So all of this is ultimately like farming.
Sowing seeds.
Giving water.
Letting them bask in the sunlight.
And finally, the harvest you get after spending that long time!
That's right. Like me and Rina! After sharing affection for a long time, building memories, and confirming each other's hearts!
Just like how Raul felt the final joy of the harvest by taking her from me right after that!
Only when all these processes are present is it finally... complete...
Right now, without even sowing the seeds properly, I've already started giving water...
Claire is one thing.
Seraphina.
Yes. Seraphina, she gave me the best catharsis today.
I didn't know she was such a lewd woman. To think she already recognized Raul's superiority as a male...
Still, the way she obediently let Raul's arm only touch her shoulder and not her chest at the end is a passing grade.
It was excellent.
Since we'll be staying at the eastern fortress for a while, I think I should pay a little more attention to Claire during that time.
Because she has definite advantages too.
