Chapter 233

At night, in the base camp of Mercouri Rebellion Army .

In that place where it is still “a rebellion army against the empire”, there were tents for three thousand soldiers concentrated .

Within them stood out my Magic Cottage, a cheat item that I got from the lottery .

In the bedroom, I’m with the two Tanyas .

To my left is the ghost maid, the Tanya of the future that materialized through Eleanor’s powers .

To my right is a village girl, the Tanya in this era who is yet to turn to a ghost .

After sleeping with the two who look exactly the same yet has different personalities, I lay on the bed .

「It will be soon……right?」

「n? What is?」

「I’m going to need to say farewell to Kakeru-san soon, right?」

Tanya whispered with sorrow .

I came to this era with the prize I got from the lottery, the pair ticket for a wonderful adventure with Io .

It looks like even Tanya understood that the end is coming near .

I couldn’t see her like that, so I comforted her with a light tone .

「Well, it won’t be that soon . It might be a bit longer, continuing for a long time」

「U〜un, I know . No, I started to know」

Within my arms, Tanya’s naked body moved and embraced me tightly .

「After learning many things from Io-san, I came to know it after looking at Kakeru-san all the time, I found out that it will be soon . After all, there’s no way Kakeru-san would lose」

『I know right〜, there’s no way Kakeru-sama will lose against something like thaーーhya!』

「What’s the matter, Tanya?」

『I felt I was poked right now』

「……it should be Eleanor . You called her “something like that” after all」

『I’m sorry〜』

The ghost Tanya apologized . Well, it’s probably Eleanor playing around .

If that girl were serious, there’s no way Tanya who is a contract servant of a Demon Sword would feel that she’s poked, her existence would be erased instantly instead .

As I’ve thought, Eleanor really became more amicable .

Ah yeah, it’s about Tanya right now .

「I guess so . It’ll be soon . It will be the end in this era, after I cut her」

「Yes……but, I won’t feel lonely」

She gave me a beautiful smile while she softened her embrace .

「After all, I know that I’ll meet Kakeru-san again . I can meet you after just bearing for a while, and after that, we’ll always be together」

「Of course . I do not let go of my women」

I said that and kissed her and ghost Tanya as well .

As if it was a promise, a prophecy .

『Ah! I got a message from Eleanor-sama』

「Eh?」

『She said “Although this guy’s love for women is a bit special, that’s another reason why you should be relieved”』

「ーーyes!」

Really, Eleanor is saying too much .

But, Tanya showed a happy smile because of that, so I can’t complain .

「But, there’s still one thing I can’t believe」

「What is it?」

「It’s about me becoming this」

『Fue〜?』

「After all, our personalities are completely different」

「U〜n, that’s true . There might still be some things」

『Is there〜?』

The ghost Tanya tilted her head .

While knowing it was a joke from Tanya, it looks like she acted and gave a huge reaction .

After a while .

「Uhm, Kakeru-san……」

「Un?」

「Can I……can we do it one more time?」

Tanya embraced me tightly and asked looking up to me .

She asked for it timidly .

「Is once enough?」

「Uhm……ah!」

I gave her a light kiss and looked straight into her eyes .

「Is once enough?」

「I-I want it a lot……I want to do it a lot with Kakeru-san」

「Good girl」

Hearing her words, I kissed Tanya again .

I “comforted” Tanya throughout the night .

☆

Morning came and Tanya went out of the Magic Cottage .

Kakeru is still sleeping inside the cottage .

Staying in his arms was unbelievably comfortable . It was so comfortable that she wished she could melt with him and be together forever .

However, Tanya slipped out .

Knowing the time for separation is near, Tanya slipped out of Kakeru’s arms with her own will so that she would not trouble him .

The sun started to rise from the east . Tanya quietly whispered as she looked at that .

「Painful and agonizing, a suffering as if you were in eternal hell is waiting for you」

The fortune teller Akansa and her fate that was read .

That was a future that will come to her without a doubt .

「Overcome it . For beyond that is a single ray of light . One part good nine parts bad . It is one part good and nine parts bad」

The future came itself . It came together with an overwhelming strength . An overwhelming strength that could crush all obstacles .

「The first half is correct, but the second half is wrong」

She whispered . It changed to Kakeru’s words .

「It’s ten parts good with zero bad . Her destiny is already decided」

After saying that in the end . She held her hands tightly in front of her chest .

She looked as if she was praying, she looked as if she was holding something precious .

She looked as if she was holding to her chest, Kakeru’s words and the prophesied future .

「Un, I’ll do my best」

She raised her face and smiled within the morning light shining upon her .

She has yet to notice it . She has yet to notice the fact the timid village girl is starting to become similar to that cheerful ghost girl .

「Un, I should do my best」

「Ke!」

「Eh?」

She suddenly heard a man’s voice . Tanya was surprised .

She turned around in a hurry and saw a soldier .

Tanya looked at Tanya with disdainful eyes, looking down at her .

「W-What is it」

「Tsk, what an arrogant bastard, taking a woman with him in war」

「……」

「They say he’s recommended by Althea-sama, but those kind of arrogant bastards aren’t a big deal . Just a burglar, stealing merits in skirmishes」

「……back」

「Hm?」

「Please take that back!」

Tanya held her fist tightly and glared at the soldier .

「Oh〜, oh〜, what a brave bitch . “don’t insult my man〜” hahah!」

「ーー! Please take it back, the words you said right now」

「What if I don’t huh?! Bitch!」

The soldier pointed his spear towards Tanya .

The dull colored blade pointed to her throat, slightly touching her skin .

Other soldiers came hearing the commotion .

However, no one tried to stop them . They only looked from afar .

「Please……」

Tanya grabbed the tip of the spear and glared at the soldier even more .

「……take it back!」

「What the heckーー」

The soldier shouted at her again and tried to pull and stab his spear, but his face suddenly turned to a frown after noticing something .

The spear was frozen .

It froze from the place Tanya grabbed . The blade, the shaft, and finally the whole spear was frozen .

「Y-You fucking sluuuuut!!!」

The soldier threw away his spear and attacked Tanya while raising his fists .

Screams and shouts to stop them were raised .

「ーー!」

Tanya didn’t took a step back . Not only that, she took a step forward, releasing her Ice Magic towards the soldier who charged towards her .

The soldier couldn’t swing down the arms he raised . Both of his arms were frozen instantly .

「W-What……what the fuck?!」

「Please take it back, take it back right now!」

Tanya shouted at the soldier for the third time .

Reaching this point, the soldier finally realized that he picked a fight against someone he shouldn’t have .

「I-I’m sorry . I’ll take it back, I’ll take back my words so forgive me」

He immediately apologized and asked for forgiveness .

☆

I entered the tend and saw a soldier being treated .

Both of his arms are frozen, unable to move .

「Damn that slut . I won’t let her off next time」

「No, there’s no next time」

「Hah? Who are youーーuu!」

The soldier raised his face and looked like he saw a demon .

The other man who was treating him quickly stepped back and ran to the corner of the tent .

『Hmm, his ability to sense danger is quite good』

Eleanor said playfully . Of course, I don’t plan on replying .

I looked down at the soldier who cursed and attacked Tanya with cold eyes .

「W-What . I didn’t do anything! I’m the fucking victim, right? Look, my armsーー」

「……」

I swung Eleanor without saying anything .

The man’s head flew in the air and fresh blood spouted out of his neck .

I told the man treating him to clean up and left the tent .

『It’s amazing how you were able to hold back yourself』

As soon as I left the tent, I heard Eleanor’s teasing voice .

The quarrel between Tanya and that man . I watched it from the start .

I woke up the instant Tanya left my arms . The commotion happened when I watching what she’s going to do accross the wall .

I didn’t intervene until the end .

『If it’s going to be like this in the end, then you should’ve come in the first place』

「Don’t say anything anymore」

I let out a sigh and told Eleanor .

「Why would I stop my women improve themselves?」

『Kuku, what a difficult personality . As I’ve thought, the way you like women is a bit special』

Eleanor laughed playfully inside my head .

Whatever, say anything you want .

Thanks to that, I saw Tanya becoming a better woman .
