Chapter 453: It’s Suddenly Gotten a Bit Too Hot and Humid......

Even though we dont have time for something like this right now

I mean, you cant go back until Dr. Shouko makes that antidote, right? So, aint it fine to take it easy fer a bit?

I believe its important to get an adequate amount of rest as well, Serena-sama.

A glum Captain Serena was sitting between two certified drunkards while being served alcohol. Elma, who was sitting in the same seat, was watching the scene with a grin on her face. Mimi and Kugi were also watching while sporting sunny smiles.

Me? I was watching the girls from a distance as I checked and performed maintenance on the weapons that we confiscated when we captured the Majestic. Also, Captain Serenas men retrieved and handed over the scabbards of Vincents and that unknown noblemans swords, so I was performing maintenance on those swords as well.

Even though the scabbards were already equipped with an automatic maintenance function, it was still better to properly take care of the swords after heavy use. Well, monoswords like these were peculiar weapons that were thought up and created by imperial nobles with a zeal bordering fanaticism. As long as they didnt break in two, they could retain peak performance with just simple maintenance.

But what should I do with these swords?

The first pair of noble swords I got my hands on were obtained after defeating Balthazar the one who killed Chriss parents and her mortal enemy. They were pretty slender swords, and even though their durability was a bit lacking, the pair of short and long swords were light and easy to handle. Ive been using that pair for quite some time now.

On the other hand, the sword I snagged from Vincent was slightly longer compared to Balthazars swords, had a thicker blade, and was more durable. No matter how sharp Balthazars swords were, I was still apprehensive when using them to cut down soldiers wearing power armor or combat bots. However, that wasnt an issue with Vincents sword. However, since the blade was long and hefty, it was relatively more difficult to handle.

The sword of that unknown noble, on the other hand, had excellent balance. It was more durable than the long sword among Balthazars sword pair, but it was about the same length. However, it was still shorter than Vincents sword. Its blade was also not as thick. You could say it was half-baked, but, to its credit, it was pretty easy to handle.

If I wanted to attack with a continuous flurry of moves and perform counters, Balthazars sword pair was the way to go. And if I wanted impact strength, striking power, and durability, go with Vincents sword. The unknown noblemans sword was the midpoint between those two extremes.

With Balthazars sword pair, it was possible to parry and reflect laser attacks. However, that wasnt the case with Vincents sword. And even if I wielded the unknown noblemans sword on your other hand to force a two-sword style, parrying laser fire was still impossible. The speed and precision of counters would also be affected. I could probably force it by holding my breath and entering bullet time though.

Maybe I could barely make things work if I paired the unknown noblemans sword with one of Balthazars swords Yeah, thatll probably work. How troublesome. I suppose its safe to use Balthazars sword pair against thinly armored opponents, and Vincents sword against heavy power armor-equipped soldiers and combat bots. The unknown noblemans sword would be kept as a spare, just in case.

That should be it.

By the way, Captain Serenas sword was slightly longer than Vincents sword, and its blade was even thicker and wider. Rather than a standard long sword, it would be more appropriate to call it a great sword or claymore. It should be possible to easily cut power armor-equipped soldiers cleanly in half with that thing.

In any case, I suppose yer now a member of our sisterhood, Serena.

Sisterhood?

I mean one of Bosss yknow?ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

T-That sounds a bit questionable W-Well, I suppose its true though.

Took a really long time, didnt it? But now yer wish has finally come true eh?

For the record, I was the very first one to encounter him

O-Of course, you are! You are fully aware of my current condition, arent you!? I-If I was not feeling fine, then it would definitely lead to, um Anyway, you get it, dont you!?

Ah Right. Youre right. That definitely is the case. Sorry. I was only trying to express my concern, but that really wasnt all that tactful.

I sincerely offered an apology while scratching my head.

The drugs and the nanomachine formulation that were injected into Captain Serena have already been nullified by Dr. Shouko, so were now only dealing with the aftereffects of the said shameless and perverted nanomachine formulation on her body. She was rather calm at present, but since her body had been tampered with, shed suffer from the effects again eventually And that meant one thing. I had to take action again to relieve her urges. I rather welcomed such an event though.

My bad. I didnt consider my words. But I really was just worried about your condition, okay?

I know that, but Uuu, why did it turn out like this?

Captain Serena turned red up to her ears and covered her face with both hands. There, there. If you got any more emotional, theres a chance youd have another attack. I know this sounded stupid because Im the one who caused you to get embarrassed in the first place, but please calm down.

A-Anyway, once this matter has been dealt with, Im going to have you accompany me to the imperial capital, okay!? I have to go back home to pay a visit, and youre coming with me, alright!?

Eh?

Why do you look so disgusted by the idea!? We may have been forced by the circumstances, but do you think Ill let you get away with laying your hands on me without taking responsibility!? Theres no way thats going to be the case, you hear me!?

Well, Im not planning on getting away scot-free in the first place. Im gonna take responsibility in my own way, and I had no problem with accompanying her to visit her parents. But its no fun to just honestly go along with this though.

What should I do, I wonder Should I just run away?

If you run away, Im going to chase you to the ends of the universe and kill you, then Ill kill myself too. You hear me?

Its getting hot and humid all of a sudden

Captain Serena, who was making a fuss, suddenly turned all serious, and the light in her eyes quickly disappeared. Thats a bit too scary, okay? Well, with my current abilities, I think I could deal with Captain Serena even if she turned all violent on me.

Okay, I got it. Im gonna accompany you to the capital. I have something to say to His Imperial Majesty anyway, and even though it couldnt be helped due to the circumstances, I still ended up cutting down a lot of House Ixamals private troops. Its not good for me to take the fall without them conducting any proper procedures and investigations into the matter, right?

I do not think it will pose much of a problem, given that our actions legitimacy should get recognized. We were able to prevent House Ixamal from committing a treasonous act that could have led to the collapse of the Empires borders, so I believe us being commended rather than punished is more likely. As long as everything goes well from here on out, that is.

Im not gonna get my hopes up too much anyway. So, are you sure you dont wanna go for another round?

N-No! You shameless pervert!

Ouch!?

Captain Serena slapped me on the shoulder. I thought my bones would break. It was just a joke yknow?
