Chapter Title: Going Out with the Demon Sword
-----------------------------------------------------------------
...No need to show off Kalia here, right?
I made that judgment while eyeing the man and woman standing side by side.
Blue Steel, the Demon Sword, and Hero Kal Brown.
This A-rank Demon Sword and her contractor were pretty well-known figures in the industry.
Naturally, they held high status and had plenty of sway in their guild.
If they spotted an S-rank Demon Sword like Kalia here, word would spread one way or another.
I had no desire to hand out that kind of information.
Conveniently, Kalia's off to the side.
Kalia was sitting and resting, saying she was a bit worn out from the earlier sex and shopping.
Even now, she was hanging back, just watching me nervously.
She was still in that pretty bold outfit, so she clearly hated the idea of introducing herself to strangers like this.
For once, Kalia and I were perfectly on the same page.
Plan-wise, I don't want to stand out too much. It'll happen soon enough, but not right now.
The sudden appearance of an S-rank Demon Sword and her contractor would rock the industry.
From my position, there was zero benefit to leaking it early.
I'd already picked my guild, so showing up out of nowhere would give me the upper hand in negotiations.
In the end, instead of introducing Kalia, I just nodded.
"I see. Compared to you two, I'm still a long way off. With that in mind, let's get along well going forward."
"Kal! What're you saying? You're embarrassing him."
Blue Steel scolded him, and Kal shrugged lightly.
He didn't apologize to me, but I didn't mind.
"Sorry about that. Let me apologize on his behalf. He didn't mean it badly."
"No, it's fine. It didn't bother me at all."
"Let's get along when we meet again."
"...Yeah, looking forward to it."
After all, I planned to NTR that prim, pretty girlfriend later.
It wouldn't be long before I'd have those tits and that ass rolling in my hands, making her moan and squeal.
Hell, I almost wanted to tell them to enjoy her while they could.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
I left that brief encounter behind and headed home.
Once I unpacked, surprisingly, Kalia spoke up first.
"You know them?"
"Huh? Who?"
"That woman and man from earlier. Looked like you've known each other for a while."
"Oh~ Nah, not really acquaintances. Just know their names and faces."
"Hmph. For 'just that,' the woman seemed pretty happy to see you."
"I helped her out a lot at my old job. Y'know, the usual 'let's look out for each other in the biz' thing. Plus, she's got a nice personality anyway."
"...I see."
Kalia replied like that—who knows what she was thinking—then primly perched on the bed.
She crossed her legs and stared at the corner with a slightly sulky expression.
For some reason, the sight struck me as kinda cute.
That's when a quest popped up in front of me.
📜 QUEST 📜 Your contracted Demon Sword is showing interest in this topic. Raise affinity through questions and conversation!
...What's with the sudden quest?
And it wasn't even about fucking or training her—just plain old conversation.
Well, I'd never regretted following the system's advice so far.
The rewards from completing quests were always sweet, so why not give it a shot?
"What do you think?"
"The guy had decent talent at best, but that female Demon Sword was impressive. She's got some serious power. Probably on a level I can't afford to let my guard down around."
The answer flowed out smoothly the moment I asked.
Feels like she'd have been a bit miffed if I hadn't bothered asking.
"You can tell that much?"
"I've got pretty sharp detection skills. And my magic power's higher anyway."
Kalia added, a touch annoyed.
"...But in terms of magic efficiency, she's probably got the edge. I've got way more raw output, but that type's a pain to deal with."
"Hooh..."
Looks like S-rank Demon Swords could pull off analysis like this on their peers.
Even among Demon Swords, abilities varied wildly based on output, efficiency, and attributes.
Put the two head-to-head, and Kalia—with her higher rank—would obviously come out on top.
But Blue Steel must be exceptional in efficiency for Kalia to rate her like that.
So the reason those two are considered strong is probably more the Demon Sword than the contractor.
Still, it was surprising that Kalia had sized up another Demon Sword so intently.
The situation and vibe weren't exactly primed for a fight.
Was her competitive streak getting fired up or something?
I decided to just ask outright—no point overthinking.
"So why'd you analyze her like that? It's not like you're gonna fight her or anything."
"......I just instinctively sized up another Demon Sword. It doesn't mean anything."
"Were you jealous? Or did she get under your skin?"
"W-what nonsense is that?!"
It was just a casual toss-out, but her reaction was intense.
She even flushed red like I'd hit the nail on the head.
Is this what the quest was getting at?
Her reaction was kinda adorable.
"Hey, don't worry too much. You're still my only Demon Sword for now."
"...Hmph. Even if her efficiency's better, that doesn't change where I stand on top."
Kalia answered primly, then furrowed her brow like she'd caught something off.
"Wait, what's that 'for now' supposed to mean?"
"Didn't I tell you? I need to contract more Demon Swords besides you."
"W-what the hell...? Even if that's possible, doesn't she already have a partner?"
"Just steal her away."
"T-that's..."
Kalia stared blankly at my bold NTR declaration.
To a loyal, knightly Demon Sword like her, stealing another woman sounded utterly unbelievable.
"How much of a scumbag are you... Ngh...!"
Before Kalia could finish, I pounced on her.
It wasn't impulse—just that her cute jealousy from earlier made me want to spoil her.
I reached out and kneaded her voluptuous breasts.
"W-wait... Hah, we went at it all day... and now at night too...? Ahhng...♥"
Kalia flinched and resisted at first, but once I teased her sensitive underarms and massaged her tits, she quieted down quick.
I sealed her lips next, naturally stripping her clothes off.
We dove right into the next round, fully naked.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The next day.
After breakfast, we washed up and got ready to head out.
I'd have loved some morning sex, but... we had a packed schedule today.
Better to go in with full stamina, just in case.
Well, if it's sex, we can always do it tonight when we get back.
I swallowed my regrets and changed into fresh clothes.
This was a semi-official outing, so I needed to dress properly.
That's partly why we'd gone shopping in the first place.
"I-is this really what human suits look like?"
But my Demon Sword wasn't thrilled with her outfit again.
It wasn't unexpected, so I chuckled and turned to Kalia.
Definitely on the sexy side.
Kalia was rocking the classic office look.
A simple white blouse and black skirt.
But on a body like hers, it came off as straight-up erotic.
Her figure's so lewd from the curves alone—anything she wears turns out the same.
Prominent, eye-catching breasts contrasting with her cinched waist.
And below, those wide, childbearing hips jutting out.
Working alongside a woman built like this would be bliss enough on its own.
"It's a real suit. See? Barely any skin showing."
"Hmm..."
Of course, the short miniskirt bared her smooth thighs.
And the blouse buttons looked ready to pop from her huge tits.
Still, it was objectively normal attire.
No idea how the wearer herself felt about it, though.
"Hah, but it feels kinda sexy..."
"That's 'cause your body's violently hot."
"W-what?"
Kalia squinted a bit but couldn't argue further.
Even she knew it wasn't revealing.
That said, her fidgeting—like something was bothering her—only amped up the sexiness.
"...Why do human women wear stuff like this? Armor'd be way more practical for fighting."
"Fighting's a distant thing for most people. Looking a bit attractive to guys matters more."
Well, a beauty like Kalia wouldn't need to worry about clothes anyway.
No man could resist those tits and that ass, no matter what she wore.
Even wrapped in that black skirt, her perfect, plump ass was so tantalizing it could get you hard just looking.
"...Isn't this world too peaceful?"
"Kinda think that sometimes."
A world with gates, dungeons, terrifying monsters.
But humanity repelled them with Awakeners and Demon Swords.
Now, they even enjoyed richer lives off the resources from those places.
When you thought about how corrupted Demon Swords ultimately doomed them... yeah, "soaked in peace" wasn't wrong.
"Eh, doesn't matter to us anyway. We'll be fighting monsters too."
"Ahh!"
I reached out and grabbed Kalia's ass firmly.
This ass was too good to just look at.
Now, Kalia just moaned and glared—no real protest.
In this outfit, it really felt like I was doing naughty things to an office lady.
"...So, where are we headed?"
"To register at the Association."
"Association?"
"Gotta register to operate as a Hero."
Time to seriously stack cash and fame.
And one more goal.
My second Demon Sword to fuck is waiting there.
Purely in terms of difficulty, she might be tougher than Kalia.
Looked like another busy day ahead, just like yesterday.
