CH 15

After reuniting with the reinforcements from the royal capital, the injured were transported to the infirmary while the members of Black-winged knights returned to their barracks under Vice Commander Felix’s command. In addition, Gazelle, the commander, was summoned to the royal palace along with Commander Ortolan of the Yellow-winged knights.

Regarding the facts that the Black-winged knights had brought equipment for aerial combat or had prepared a prototype potion beforehand… 

What should I do if I am being thrust into the higher-ups? I’m feeling kinda uneasy.

On my way out, however, I caught a glimpse of Eris, who was with Gazelle—flashing me a magnificent wink that made me reconsider that everything would be alright. I figured that was his way of saying, “Don’t worry.”

Well, either Gazelle or Iris, they’ll both be much smarter and more articulate than I am, and I’m sure they’ll get through this…. And I don’t have time to worry about other people right now.

“…!” 

Upon returning from the barracks, instead of going straight back to my room, I headed for the water pump in the back of the house. I wanted to somehow relieve the heat from my body, but… I could no longer keep my footing, and ended up sitting on the ground with my back leaning against the wall of the building.

“…I knew it, is this how it will turn out?”

This was why I avoided using the cursed sword whenever possible. This time I was not being paralyzed, but,

I’m in heat.

I was expecting this though. Those monsters were clearly higher ranked and in greater numbers than the monsters I had seen so far. That was pretty much like that until halfway through the battle. That massive wyvern which crashed into the rear troop’s trebuchets…. I had almost let out a weird, “Geez!” in a strange voice. So, it couldn’t be helped that I drew the cursed sword and…

Honestly, I did not even want to remember what happened after that! When my body moved on its own and I jumped and slashed at the wyvern, I was so terrified that I could not speak and my face twitched!

I never imagined seeing a wyvern up close and personal. Each and every one of their scales were still clearly etched in my mind. Even though I had seen something extraordinary, I wasn’t impressed at all! It was nothing but terrifying!

So, this sword was a big help this time too. 

“…Ha, hah…”

—And, here’s the result

My whole body tingled and the slightest touch of the wind brushing my skin caused me to pant with fervor. I didn’t want to be too conscious of my lower body, but this…

Well, yeah, seems like I’m healthy. Ah~~ what should I do with this? How long will this last? 

For the record, after the battle was over, I returned to the barracks without sheathing the sword and there were no problems along the way. I had vaguely noticed it the last time; it appeared that the demerit effect would be triggered once the cursed sword was sheathed or when the user’s consciousness returned.

Previously, when I held a drawn sword for an extended period of time, my actions naturally drew the attention of those around me. So, by the time I returned to the barracks from Lazarte Hill, I was asked, ‘The battle is over, why haven’t you put it back in its scabbard yet?” by many of the knights.

Somehow, in a stifled tone, I managed to answer, “Usually, after the battle is over, is when people let their guards down.” When I answered like this, everyone seemed impressed, saying, “I see… What a mindset you have at such a young age.” After that, they didn’t mention the subject of this cursed sword.

Hmmm, what should I do if they thought, “This guy is a terrible chatter.” Was it too late? 

However, I couldn’t keep wandering around with a drawn sword all the time. That being said, it was also not good to be seen by my roommates in a shared room in the barracks while my demerit state was activated.

Therefore, for the time being, I ended up in an isolated place, but this might have been a bad decision. As expected, it was too much being a voyeur to masturbate outdoors. It was not only suspicious but downright perverted!

Erm, let’s see. Last time I checked, recovering from this heat state took about three hours, and recovering from paralysis took about an hour. If the strength of the monster’s level was affecting the state and time, I wonder how long it’ll take for me to recover considering the size of that big wyvern. Since it’s definitely higher in level and rank than Giant Flora… I guess, in worst cases, probably more than three hours?

“…Seriously?” 

Seriously. This sucks, this situation is too hopeless. Ugh, I’m not sure how long I can distract myself from thinking about it…

“—Takumi?” A familiar voice echoed in my ear as I panted, heaving hot breaths.

“What’s wrong?!?! Are you hurt?”

Felix-san!! U-waa, what should I do now? 

Right now, although he was the person I didn’t want to see most, I had these complicated feelings of being glad that he came…

“Felix-san… What brings you here?”

Despite the fact that I was sitting on the ground behind the barracks, in the shade of bushes and wells, Felix walked straight toward me. He walked around to the front, got down on one knee on the ground, and looked at me with a frown on his dashing face.

“There’s something I want to ask you, so I went to your room and your roommate said that you haven’t returned yet. I was worried and was looking for you. Takumi… What happens to you?” 

“Mnnh, it’s nothing… I’m okay, just leave me alone.”

“Ah…”

Hiiii, I’m so sorry, Felix-san! That’s not what I’m saying. Urm, I, right now, am currently in a tight spot and I don’t have time to choose the right words!

Nonetheless, Felix’s amethyst eyes initially rounded eyes soon narrowed and he extended his right hand, gently caressing my cheek as if to soothe me. 

“Erm, Felix-san…?”

“Takumi, it’s rare for you to speak like that. Is there really something going on?”

Eh? Despite what I said, why was he concerned about me when I had spoken to him in that manner? More than just good-looking, he’s a saint.…

If Felix, on the other hand, continued talking to me the way he did just now, I would have a mental breakdown by now… 

“Takumi…?”

“Ah, I’m…”

Felix reached up and brushed my bangs with his fingertips before touching my cheek. He seemed to be brushing my hair off my forehead because it was sticking to my forehead due to sweat. But even such subtle stimulus was enough to poison me now. At the sound of my soft voice, Felix’s fingers froze.

“Takumi…don’t tell me you’re in the same state as you were then?” Felix raised his voice, asking me. 

At that time, in all likelihood, was when Gazelle, and Felix… well, when the three of us ended up together.

As expected of Felix, he seemed to have guessed just from my current state based on the little scream I had just made. I nodded in agreement, knowing that it was pointless trying to keep anything from him.

“I’m just confirming, you weren’t attacked by a wyvern, were you?”

“No, no… I did have some minor wounds, but… as I’ve said before, this is about my constitution.” 

“…I see, that’s what you talked about last time.”

What a relief, it seems like he understands. I guess my last masturbation experience wasn’t that pointless. That experience actually embarrassed me to death…

Felix then mumbled with a thoughtful look on his face, “As I thought, ‘constitution’, alas, his body had been deliberately treated with a kind of magic formula…I’m not sure about the immediate effects right after a battle, but there’s a possibility that it’s been adjusted to serve as a combat slave in the arena as well as a sex slave…”

Hm? Well, I’m not sure, but I’m glad Felix is convinced. 

“Ah…, you know, Felix. That’s why, you can just leave me alone. I’ll get back to normal in time.”

“…How long does it take for things to get back to normal?”

“Based on my last experience, I’d say a few hours.”

“…” 

Felix creased his brows in response to my answer. After a short pause, he exhaled a rare sigh. “…As I expected, it seems like my words the other day still hasn’t reached you.

“Uh… Felix?”

“There’s no way I can go anywhere, leaving you here alone in this state, right?”

“Uwahhh?!” Suddenly, my field of vision soared, dizzily. 

Felix had just sat down and was holding me in a princess hug.

…N-No way, I didn’t expect a second princess hug from Felix!

“Mnnh, Felix.” When I felt his arms encircling me and his warm body against mine, a tingling sensation went straight down my spine.

Seeing me like this, Felix gazed at me, then dropped a kiss on my temple. 

“Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle this time too. Oh, yes. I’ll have to call Commander Gazelle, too. It’s only fair that he does the same too.”

…That, excuse me, Felix-san? What do you mean by “this time” too?”

Translator’s Notes 

First of all, sorry that I had to make this chapter a bit short. Since I want to compile the NSFW scenes in the next chapter, I decided to cut it short here since the scene between Takumi and Felix ends here…

And, by the looks of it, I guess we’ll have another 3P session in the next chapter. I know 3P sounds great, but I’m hoping that Takumi can have a 1-to-1 session with either of them next time… ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)
