Book 3: Chapter 3 (6)

Witch

Her request was something that I was expecting.

“The people that played major roles in the escape have already gathered together and are acting as leaders for our small group, but we noticed the recovery magic user was absent. We’ve already begun making preparations to leave the country, but we didn’t want to leave the healer that helped us escape that prison designed by that noble mage.”

“And what do you plan on doing after you find this person?”

“If that person doesn’t mind, we’d like them to come with us. Even if we don’t find that person, we are willing to welcome both of you into our group. We’ve already spoken to the rest of our members and they know you were with us during the escape.”

“…I see.”

“Are either of you the recovery magic user? Is it you, knight, or maybe you?”

“Well, I wonder about that.”

“You don’t need to answer. I already know everything.”

“…what does that mean?”

“My familiar saw everything. You are the recovery magic user.”

“You’ve been watching me?”

“You really are a kind person. You healed the Imperial Knight’s spy after she attacked him. Thanks to this, I was able to learn of your existence. You are our ally.”

“….”

Why is she even bothering to ask if she knows everything?

She mentioned her familiar, I wonder if her familiar is that large bird. No, it had to be there when I followed Mercedes-chan to the abandoned house. It has to be much smaller. In any case, I never thought someone would be watching me.

It’s possible this woman was watching Mercedes-chan rather than me. She holds the title of ‘Imperial Knight’ and had already spent a few days investigating before I followed her. It was just my own terrible luck that got me found out.

“How about it? Would you like to join us? The Great Thief seemed opposed to the idea but I absolutely want you to come with. Why don’t you both leave the Penny Empire and create a name for yourselves in a new place?”

The robed woman asked this while rubbing her cheek across Allen’s sausage.

This caused me to remember something. This woman, she was the one with her eyes removed in prison. She’s the woman that one guard called ‘the witch.’ Just by her mentioning her familiar, I know that she’s a skilled mage.

The robe that’s barely covering her body is also convincing me to join her.

“And what would you say if I refused?”

“I don’t plan on forcing you to join, but do you think you’ll be able to continue hiding? I’d also like to hear your opinion, Imperial Knight. It was only a brief glance, but I could tell you’re skilled with a blade.”

“…do you think I’d join you so easily when I already have position and a high social status in this country?”

“Then I’ll have a girl of your liking prepared for you. No, for someone of your position, you deserve two, no, three girls. Currently, I have nearly a dozen boys standing at attention, eagerly awaiting my return. It would be a cinch for me to gather enough girls to satisfy all of your desires.”

“….”

“If you can convince him to join us, I can get you as many girls as you wish. And if that’s not enough, I understand you’ve been promised a reward for information leading to our capture. I promise to match that price as long as he agrees to join.”

This is bad.

She also found out Mercedes-chan’s sexual preference.

The robed woman’s familiar is too observant.

“What do you say?”

We need to leave.

But it was already too late.

“Mercedes-san, we came here to get Allen. We need to take him and leave….”

I looked over at the Imperial Lesbian.

“Oi, we should hurry up and join them! If we stay in the Penny Empire, we’ll definitely be found out!”

She immediately switched sides. She said all of this as if she earnestly believed this would be best for both of us.

For someone that’s as high-ranking as an imperial knight, she doesn’t seem to have much conviction.

She even just received a promotion and she’s not even hesitating.

“..umm, Mercedes-san?”

“Oi robed woman!”

“What is it?”

“This man is weak to women. How far are you willing to go? No, you must be willing to embrace this man right here and now!”

“If you’re okay with someone like me, you can do whatever you like to me. If you prefer other methods of satisfaction, I can tie you up like this knight here, and please you until you can no longer even get it up. However, if that is what you wish me to do, I don’t think I’ll be able to hold back.”

“….”

Did the Imperial Lesbian just get the robed woman to agree to pleasure me?

I’m excited.

Thank you so much.

The robed woman saw my obvious virgin reaction and removed her hood.

“…what do you think?”

She was gorgeous.

She had long blonde hair that covered one of her eyes. Her other eye was a beautiful blue.

And just like Edita Sensei, her ears were pointed. She’s an elf.

The damn Allen. Has such a beautiful woman been playing with him this entire time?

My vision was already blurring due to the overwhelming envy I was feeling towards him.

“I’m sorry, but I still have work to do here in the Penny Empire.”

“Would you like my help? We could work together until we leave the country. I’ve heard from the Great Thief that you’re a reliable person. I don’t have any problem with helping you out.”

“No, that’s not necessary.”

What the hell.

She’d only said a few words and yet my son was already hard. This woman exudes an overwhelming feeling of raw eroticism. I want to have sex with her. I want to mate. I’ll be noticed if things stay like this. I need to reposition myself.

I thrust my hands into my pockets and attempted to hide my shame.

“…that’s too bad.”

“It is. I wanted to see how an amazing woman like you looks in a different light.”

“Oho~, do you like me?”

“Yes, I think you’re a very attractive woman.”

I looked off into an empty corner of the room and did my best to calm down my lower body.

Once it starts to grow, it’s difficult to calm down.

“If that’s how you feel, we can just have sex. It may change your mind.”

“No, someone like you is too good for me. I would just stain your beauty.”

“Is that really how you feel?”

“For you to even offer your body to a man like me shows that your heart is just as beautiful as your appearance. Is there even a word to describe such beauty? To even be able to exchange words with a woman of your beauty, I feel deeply honoured.”

Sluts really are strong opponents.

She’s different than Ester-chan. This robed woman’s eroticism seems to exist in every aspect of her life. It gives me hope that there could be other beautiful women in this world that would give a busamen like me a chance. It really is a driving force that can allow me to live on with hope.

Furthermore, Allen hanging beside her gave me an idea of the future I could have.

If I just give in and accept, this future could be mine.

Oh, right, Allen is still hanging there.

“For the time being, could you release Allen…that knight there.”

“Fufu~, if you agree to work with me, I’ll release him immediately.”

“….”

She’s taken complete advantage of my weakness. She’s toying with my weak heart. My virgin heart is screaming out to have sex. It’s burning up. I want to give in to her temptations.

However, that same virgin part of my mind made the final decision.

My first time experiencing lovey-dovey sex has to be with another virgin.

“If you insist, how about we create a few conditions.”

“What do you mean?”

“If you can defeat me using magic, I’ll join you after you release Allen. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone inferior to me anyway. I won’t use any recovery magic. This will be a pure battle.”

I’m not trying to get her to force herself on me.

I just want to win fairly.

If she knocks me down and happens to try something…. Well, I won’t complain.

“…really?”

“What do you say?”

“I love that idea.”

“That’s good.”

“After hearing you say that, I want to violate you even more.”

“….”

Thank you.

She’s already given me plenty of material to use later.

Let’s continue provoking her.

“Come at me. You won’t even be able to lay a single finger on me.”

“I love it when men cry after I put them in their place.”

In response to her words, a mass of flames appeared around the robed woman.

I’m guessing those are similar to my own fireball.

“I see.”

“I’ll defeat you using basic magic.”

“You really shouldn’t hold back.”

I think I’ll show her my fireball.

Similar to her, I surrounded myself with fireballs. I could tell that mine were slightly more powerful than hers. I had also created one more fireball than her.

“Are you really planning on fighting me head-to-head?”

“Are you scared?”

“If you lose to me, I think I’ll make you my sex slave for a short time.”

“Oh, when I win, I might consider doing that to you.”

“….”

The robed woman moved.

She swung her arms forward in my direction.

In response, the fireballs floating around her rushed forward. I’d be lying if I said this isn’t scary. I have no recovery magic and flames like that will easily disintegrate my body.

However, I have my own. I began to move and fired my own fireballs to intercept hers.

My fireballs raced towards hers but due to the tight space we were fighting in, each of our fireballs crashed into walls and pillars. This will be a fierce battle but it may come down to whoever can dodge best.

“Wha–!?”

The robed women let out an astonished cry.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Lesbian ran off to one of the corners to hide.

“Nuuuuu!”

We each let out a roar as our fireballs continued to crash into each other. Each time they did a small explosion would fill the room. It seems that she’s also able to control each individual fireball like me. Whenever I’d send a fireball after the robed woman, her own fireball would intercept it. This exchange continued for a couple minutes.

Eventually, there was only one fireball left and it belonged to me.

It floated gently in front of the robed woman, flames roaring intensely to intimidate her.

“Impressed?”

I remained standing with the fireball close to the robed woman. I thrust a hand into my pocket and said this while trying to strike a cool pose.

“…I assumed that you were only skilled in recovery magic.”

“Yeah, well, I think my recovery magic is better than anything else I can use.”

“If so, that is quite impressive….”

All right, she recognizes my strength.

Allen’s son is also throbbing. (TN: The raws here use a word that can mean strength, hard, or throbbing. Doesn’t really work in English.)

With this, everything should be resolved.

“Release the knight.”

“I’ll ask once more: are you willing to join us?”

“You may already know this thanks to your familiar, but I’ve been tasked with capturing you. If you’re planning on leaving the country, I promise to no longer pursue you or any of your allies.”

“…that’s unexpected.”

So it seems she only started watching me once I followed Mercedes-chan.

I really need to get Allen out of here in case this changes her opinion of me.

“So, will you release him?”

“You’re investigating us? Even though you’re the same as us, we’re in completely different positions.”

“I’m okay with telling you this.”

We stared at each other for a moment.

She still has Allen, so I need to be careful about what I say.

I’ll just give her a believable excuse.

“I’m against unnecessary killing. However, the officials of this city don’t feel the same as me. When you’re caught next, you’ll be punished properly.”

I can only think of one punishment for escaping prison. If they can leave this country peacefully, I think that would be best for everyone. This would also end any chance of my involvement in the escape being found out.

The Deputy Director of the academy may complain, but I only agreed to look into the matter, not capture the escapees. If I just keep my head down and allow them to escape, this will all be over.

I was worried about how she’d respond, but after a brief moment of silence, she agreed.

“…all right. I’ll agree to your proposal.”

“Thank you.”

“As for that Imperial Knight, does she feel the same as you?”

“She can decide for herself. I’d only ask that she please hurry and answer.”

I looked over at Mercedes-chan as she gave me a slight nod. I guess she gave up on getting her own harem after seeing the fireball fight.

“I understand. Then, we’ll leave things at that.”

“Thank you.”

“Fufu~, if I knew what kind of person you were, I wouldn’t have needed to take a hostage.”

“If you hadn’t, I may have been hesitant to meet with you.”

“…you really are a nice guy. I’d like to see you again if the opportunity presents itself.”

After I nodded to her, the robed woman turned away.

Her body started to float and she exited out a window into the night.

Farewell, fellow prison escapee. May we never meet again, and hopefully, this will be the end of my problems.
