Oukoku e Tsuzuku Michi

Chapter 284

–Aegir POV–

「So, where is this place?」

「It’s the house I bought in this city . It’s a hassle to have Siegfried send me and pick me up every time after all . 」

The house she took me to was located in the residential district populated by relatively wealthy citizens .

It was a pretty large building, though it didn’t stand out from the rest of the houses in the neighborhood .

On the other hand, the interior design would be considered creepy in a human’s eyes .

Not only are the windows shut, they were tightly boarded up from the inside .

Furthermore, black colored clay which looks to be mixed with charcoal was squeezed in between the cracks to block off any sunlight which would peek through .

「You won’t be able to call anybody over when it’s so dark . 」

「I don’t intend to have anyone visit besides you . 」

I highly doubt the neighbors would suspect a gathering place for vampires to be made so close to them .

「……it calms me . 」

Even though it’s daytime, the inside of the room is completely dark with a poor excuse for a light just enough for me to see where I’m going .

It feels exactly the same as Lucy’s place .

I inhale and take a big sniff, but I don’t get the same smell .

The scent is sweet, though Brynhildr’s fragrance is distinctly different from Lucy’s .

「……you’re comparing, aren’t you?」

Brynhildr lets out an irritated comment before throwing me onto the bed .

I didn’t have time to complain about my rough treatment and my arms already get tied up with string .

Then she forcefully rips my clothes apart .

「Hey now, these are just casual clothes but I don’t think it’s a good idea to rip them up all of a sudden . 」

「Shut up! Just stay still!」

The sounds of cloth tearing continues until I’m left fully naked .

I guess this is what it feels like for girls the moment they’re about to get raped .

「Get on all fours . 」

「That’s your plan?」

When I obediently do as I’m told, Brynhildr nods contently and rummages around for some reason, though I can’t see anything due to the poor lighting .

「What on earth―― uooh!」

I hear a crisp crack sound, then I feel slight pain on my back .

Judging by the whizzing sound, I’m thinking it was a whip that hit me .

「Isn’t it a bit mean to whip me?」

「I told you this is punishment! Besides, this is not a weapon . It’s meant for play like this and has cloth attached to it . Just grit your teeth and endure . 」

There are shops in Rafen which sell goods like these to brothels and amateurs alike .

I grin when I imagine what kind of face Brynhildr made when she bought this .

「Bastard, you’re not reflecting on your actions at all!!」

「Guwaah!!」

The whizzing sound was sharper and the impact more powerful than before . Even though the whip is considered a toy, getting struck with a vampire’s strength makes it quite painful .

A genuine groan naturally came out from my mouth .

「Ah! D-did I overdo it…… did that injure you!?」

Brynhildr panics and throws away the whip, then checks on my back .

「I was just surprised . That much pain is nothing . 」

After confirming the reddened spots on my back, Brynhildr breathes a sigh of relief .

Even though I’m getting whipped, my love for her is growing .

「Fuu, I’m glad…… . Ahem! I mean, in that case the punishment is far from over!」

I see the shadow of her grabbing the whip again .

「How lewd…… this is great . 」

The woman’s body is clad in a tight-fitting black leather outfit .

There appears to be some sort of handiwork done around her chest and private areas linking them together even when her clothes are on .

Moreover, the same colored boots she is wearing despite being inside is clearly a mismatch for the woman’s childlike stature, however that further emphasizes the immoral lewdness exuding from her .

「Eeei, you’re getting aroused again aren’t you, damn pervert!」

She swings the whip again . This time she controlled her strength so it didn’t hurt as much .

「F-forgive me Brynhildr . 」

Still, I play along and beg for forgiveness .

「No, I won’t . I’ll be punishing you more and more so let me hear more of your screams!」

Knowing my intentions, she continues swinging her whip at me as I’m on my hands and knees, pressing her boot down on my ass . It feels like something strange is being awakened .

「Hey, what’s going on with your crotch!? I told you this is punishment, yet you’re getting bigger down here! How big are you for your dick to touch the bed while you’re on all fours!」

Brynhildr moves her foot, circles around behind me, grabs my dick from under my ass and starts stroking it .

「Look at this size…… what are you? A horse? An orc?」

Honestly, I wasn’t too pleased about getting whipped, however the fact that it was being done by the scantily clad Brynhildr wasn’t a terrible feeling, and knowing she would let me fuck her soon after made me get hard .

「Eeei, next is this!」

Brynhildr sets aside the whip and climbs on top of my back .

As if trying to control a wild rampaging horse, she clings tightly to my body .

「Now then, I’ll be taking that blood of yours…… if you shoot that nasty cum on my bed, I won’t forgive you . 」

She proceeds to sink her fangs into my neck .

A true groan escapes my lips due to the sharp pain and intense pleasure .

「Guooooooh――!!」

My body bends backward and my meat rod starts to pulse .

But my pride won’t allow an ejaculation after a woman requested me not to cum .

I flex my stomach as much as I can to hold it in .

「Ngh, ngh…… puha! Kukuku, looks like you’re enduring . But what’s that slimy liquid dripping from the tip?」

「You can at least allow precum, I’m about to blow even now……」

Laughing at my desperate state, Brynhildr reaches for my dick and rubs it again .

「Take that, and that, but you still can’t let it out yet . Kukuku, look how much you’re twitching, how cute…… you’re really big aren’t you . Even big dicks have a limit to their size . 」

She taps my balls with an astounded voice .

I’m at my limit . If I get teased any more than this, I’ll make a huge puddle of semen on Brynhildr’s bed .

When I turn to Brynhildr with a strained face, she grins and loosens the restraints on my hands .

Then she sits at the head of the bed, turns towards me and spreads her legs .

The crotch area of her lascivious leather outfit is open, revealing her childlike genitals through the gap .

「……」

Brynhildr doesn’t say anything and looks at me detestfully .

I already know what I must do .

「Uooh!! Brynhildr!!」

I completely undo the bindings on my hands and pounce on Brynhildr .

Right before my rod was about to penetrate her, she grabs it .

「Not yet . What do you call me?」

「My beloved Brynhildr?」

She shakes her head .

「My beloved queen?」

She kicks my shaft .

「……my loving sister?」

Brynhildr smiles and takes her hand away .

「Sis, I love you!」

I take her slender thighs, flip her body up and thrust down into her from the top .

Even though my member has expanded to its limit and is exceedingly large for her hole, she doesn’t break or get injured like humans would .

「Kuaaah…… it’s been so long since I’ve seen it, this big thing…… my hole is crying out as it’s getting stretched . 」

「Yeah, it’s tight and feels really good . 」

Half of my dick instantly invades her pussy, reaching all the way to her womb .

「What a hopeless kid brother, you should be thankful I’m not so fragile . If I was human, I’d be dead by now . 」

「You’re the best . But I want to push it in a bit further . 」

After becoming so aroused, half is not enough .

I want the entire length to be enveloped by Brynhildr’s folds .

「What? You’re already in as far as it goes! Any further and…… stupid, can’t you wait!?」

I wrap my arm around Brynhildr’s shoulder and thrust my hips forward .

「You idiot! Think of the difference in body size…… hngyaah!!」

I feel my dick enter into the depths of her womb .

Then I see a bulge appear in her stomach area, pushing up the black leather outfit she’s wearing .

「Funya!! Y-you’ve done it now! You’re always…… kuu…… I’m telling you it hurts!」

「Sorry, sis . I couldn’t hold back . 」

I shake my hips furiously as she pounds my head amusingly .

「Don’t think I’ll forgive you because you called me sis! It’s pushing up my stomach! If you don’t stop, I’ll throw you――」

As she starts exerting force with her arm, I bring myself close to her ear and whisper .

「You feel so good, sis!」

「I won’t be fooled!」

「You’re beautiful, sis!」

「I-I’m sure you don’t mean that . 」

「You’re the best, sis!」

「Uu…… don’t look at me with such desperate eyes . 」

Brynhildr’s pounding on my head weakens .

「……no use worrying about what’s already inside . Hurry up and release your seed, stupid……」

Her arms and legs wrap around my body .

So she really is spoiling me regardless of what she says .

To express my gratitude, I rock my hips faster, raining kisses and playful bites on the bare skin I can see on her neck and shoulder .

However with all that pleasure built up from before, I don’t have the luxury to enjoy too much caressing .

「I’m cumming . 」

「Umu, bite hard . 」

Brynhildr brushes her hair aside and exposes more of her neck .

I bite down on her pure white skin, while letting her bite my own neck as well .

I can feel semen rushing out through my urethra like a geyser .

「This is in the way!」

Brynhildr puts her hand on the leather clothing and tears it off .

She lays her white body bare for me to see and once again embraces me .

I prefer feeling her skin on my skin since the smoothness and temperature of her body gets transmitted to me more clearly .

「What great force…… I almost thought you were urinating . 」

「My ejaculations have been stronger than my peeing lately, and more has been coming out . 」

It’s not a lie . Even this ejaculation doesn’t feel like it’ll stop after ten minutes .

「Naughty boy…… but it’s fine for now . I’ll accept everything, so let out lots……」

I don’t know where the initial punishment went, but Brynhildr is continuously rubbing my head gently .

Time passes peacefully until eventually my ejaculation dies down .

After emptying my load, my lust disperses and I slowly separate my body .

「That was great…… thanks . 」

When I pull out of her, semen flows back out of her vagina and makes a mess of her bed, though I’m sure she won’t get mad at this point .

「Let’s change these sheets……」

As I was moving off the bed, my hand gets grabbed .

She wasn’t holding me softly, rather she was using a vampire’s brute strength .

「You know what this means, don’t you?」

Brynhildr’s eyes open and the red in her eyes deepen in intensity and color .

I got carried away and made a mess, but it couldn’t be helped .

「I do . Well, go on and do it . 」

I stand imposingly in front of her, flexing my stomach to get my dick partially erect .

「Excellent determination . 」

She grabs my dick with both hands from the side and opens her mouth wide .

Her four fangs pierce my rod from the top and bottom, eliciting a soundless scream from me .

「Fuu…… that felt good . Still, I’m not used to getting holes punched in my dick . 」

I don’t know the theory behind it, but the holes created by vampires after they suck blood get sealed up immediately and become unrecognizable .

With that knowledge though, I still feel an instinctual fear come over me the moment her teeth sink deep into my shaft .

「Now then, back to the mansion……」

I can feel gazes and hear soft whispering around me .

「That was some loud whipping……」

「The feudal lord-sama is into punishment…… a fetish maybe?」

「He was saying sis…… is it that kind of play?」

「You hear the whip quite often there, right?」

「……hmm . 」

The house Brynhildr bought is wonderful but it wasn’t made with any form of soundproofing .

The sounds of whips, beast-like groaning and noisy sex would naturally leak out .

Not to mention it is still in the middle of the day, so the neighborhood wives would be moving around, cleaning and doing laundry .

「Sorry for disturbing you . I got a bit too enthusiastic with all that playing around . Don’t let it get to you . 」

I smile at the gossiping ladies .

「N-no…… if that is the residence of the feudal lord-sama’s lover then that is a bit of relief . 」

「It was scary because we’ve never seen the face of this house’s owner . 」

「D-did you whip that delicate girl I caught a glimpse of last night?」

I can’t stand unwanted misunderstandings .

「Hahaha, I was actually the one being whipped . It was stimulating . 」

I leave after saying that .

The rumors seem to pick up speed although that may be my imagination, oh well .

And then I hear the sound of a horse running down the main street, calling my name .

「Aegir-samaー!」

The one running toward me is Celia .

「What’s the hurry?」

Celia swiftly dismounts and tells me .

「Please return to the mansion at once! The Government Affairs Commissioner himself has come to the mansion!」

「Kenneth did?」

This is unusual .

Besides, someone of Kenneth’s standing would send a notice of their visit several months in advance and let suitable preparations be made .

「It’s an urgent visit, no reception required . It’s something he wants to speak to you about right away . 」

「Alright, I’ll go back now . 」

I follow Celia back to the mansion on Schwartz .

「If the feudal lord-sama has that inclination . 」

「Yeah, Celia-sama would take part too, don’t you think? ……with the whip I mean . 」

「It suits her well . I can see her swinging that thing while laughing out loud . 」

「What are you talking about!?」

That sounds interesting . I’ll get Celia to do that next time .

Right now, it’s more important to see what Kenneth came for .

Mansion .

「This is an official letter from the Olga Federation…… a transcript of one . The royal palace would not release the original . 」

As soon as Kenneth sees me, he gives a short greeting and compliments before coming out with the issue .

「Please excuse me . 」

After getting permission from me, Celia reads the letter .

「The Federation is requesting for reinforcements……?」

「Formally, they are asking for a competent commander and not an army . 」

「It will certainly take some time to get an entire army ready . 」

「Besides, deploying our army of a few tens of thousands won’t significantly tilt the tides of battle . 」

The Empire and Federation are fighting with forces in the millions .

There would be little to no meaning in taking time to prepare a measly force .

「Apparently, the Federation lost many commanders during the fierce battle following the start of war . Soldiers can be conscripted from the citizens in the worse case situation but the same can’t be said for commanders . 」

Erich also struggled with that too .

「In the first place, it’s hard to find people of commander class . 」

I’m getting a bad feeling about this .

「And the one who paid you a visit is me instead of the Military Commissioner, meaning this matter is highly political . To be forthright, His Majesty has already expressed his wishes . 」

So I basically can’t refuse .

「A conference was already held with the Military Commissioner and the respective ministers and the conclusion of “there is no better person than Lord Hardlett” was reached . 」

There it is . I just came back and now I have to go to the Federation, unbelievable .

I can’t outright refuse but maybe I can skillfully evade having to go .

「I’m not trying to be difficult, but wouldn’t someone who is active in the military be better than someone in a reserve role like me……」

「Surely you jest . There is no active soldier in the military who is more talented than Lord Hardlett」

I’m fine with being incompetent, I just want to stay in Rafen and have fun with girls .

「Our nation and Olga Federation have friendly relations with each other, though our military might is not up to their standards to say the least . If we send a half-decent noble, it may be taken as a sign of disrespect . It is during times like these when the Federation is in need of assistance that we give no excuses and earn their favor . As a Margrave, Lord Hardlett is definitely the most suitable man for the job . 」

My escape route is narrowing . Still, I have to find some way to wiggle out of this .

「Eir-…… Lord Radhalde is more capable than me and he is a Marquess――」

「The Military Commissioner is one of the pillars of this country, no matter how friendly we are with the nation, we can’t have him leave for an extended period of time . 」

Not yet, there should still be a way out .

「That person appointed to the Magrado General Governorate…… Governor General Zilemeraldgreen, he should be able――」

I don’t know if he’s capable or not, but he’ll get promoted if he succeeds and the hostility might disappear . As for me, I’ll succeed in bed .

「Governor General Zilgray has his hands full with the turmoil in Magrado . Dispatching him isn’t really an option . 」

Kenneth takes out another document from his pocket…… revealing the royal decree with the King’s seal on it .

There’s really nothing I can do now .

「It’s a direct order from His Majesty . “Advance to the friendly nation of my country, the Olga Federation . There, you will fall under the command of the Defense Commander Martin Stessel, and work to bring victory . ” That is all . 」

Kenneth respectfully hands me the decree with both hands .

Now I can’t run away .

「……I humbly accept . 」

And so I find myself stuck in a difficult situation of having to head to the battlegrounds once again .

「……you’re going away again?」

「Lately, we aren’t getting much time with Aegir . 」

「The children are going to forget the face of their father . 」

Nonna, Carla, and Mel’s words hurt .

「Sorry…… there wasn’t anything I could do . 」

When I lower my head, Nonna comes rushing to hug me .

「No, I know it’s a great honor for the family . I should be the one…… who is sorry for saying something so selfishly . 」

Nonna hugs me tightly as she apologizes .

「But this might be a good opportunity . If I get acquainted with a big shot in the Federation, it may become a shortcut to take back your hometown . 」

「Ah……」

Nonna raises her head . Although she doesn’t seem too happy .

「For that, I’ll have to increase my achievements . Guess I’ll have to push myself a little more . 」

I jokingly say .

I was expecting a response like “Do your best”, but――

「You can’t!!」

Nonna escapes from my under arm and lets out a surprising shout .

「More important than achievements, you must return alive…… you must not get injured!!」

「Nonna?」「Nonna-san?」

Carla, Mel, and the other girls look at her in surprise at the sudden outburst .

Nonna quickly covers her mouth, clears her throat once and then returns to her usual tone .

「There will be other opportunities to think about my hometown . It will all be for nothing if something happens to Aegir-sama, so don’t worry about something like that, and think about returning safely first…… don’t push yourself . 」

「Y-yeah . 」

I’m a little taken aback from all that .

I never expected her to refer to taking back Elektra as “something like that”, since I thought it was her meaning in life .

Feeling embarrassed from shouting, Nonna takes the twins from her attendant, turns her back to me and gently rocks them in her arms .

A strange mood shrouds the room, yet there is a man who is acting like nothing is wrong .

「Then let’s proceed with the personnel selection to accompany you . 」

For once I feel a sense of likeability from Leopolt .

「I will also prepare a will just in case something happens so please stamp your seal on it . 」

I take back what I said . I should punch this guy .

「Wait . If I’m going to the Federation, I’m going to use the river, right?」

「The Imperial fleet is near White City so you would probably have to go a little to the east . 」

I see, I see…… in that case I might be able to show the children the world very soon .

「Prepare lots of barrels and wagons . 」

Leopolt furrows his brow .

「We’ll only be taking the minimum number of people to the Federation during war times though . 」

「I’m not going to take a line of wagons to White City . It’ll only be up until we get on the boat so it should be fine . 」

「Are you thinking of something unnecessary again?」

Of course not, this is part of child rearing .

A Few Days Later . North Teries River .

「How far we go will depend on the situation, let’s hurry as much as possible on the river . 」

I embark on the ship taken by the ambassador to deliver the official letter and head straight to the Federation .

The boat is fairly small with a disproportionately large sail and a sharp bow, almost like a pirate ship .

「My name is Arbakin and I will be in charge of guiding you . Accompanying you are two people…… and as you contacted me about, a giant horse . 」

「I’m Celia . I’ll be acting as assistant and escort . 」

「I’m Marta . I’ll be acting as aide and bedmaker . 」

Only these two girls will be travelling with me this time .

Although there was a small conflict during the selection of travel mates, I ultimately chose the minimum number: the escort Celia and the courteous Marta .

I certainly didn’t choose Celia because she insisted on sticking to me no matter what .

「……I was sweating profusely that you would bring an entire queue of people when I saw the dozens of carriages arrive . 」

「Hahaha, that is for a different objective . 」

Right beside the boat we boarded, barrel after barrel is being dumped from the full wagons into the river .

The ambassador makes a dubious face, though he says nothing of it .

Including the ambassador’s guards, there are a mere ten people on the ship .

Apparently that is so the ship can move as fast as possible .

Having the large and heavy Schwartz on board is probably terribly inconvenient for them .

I could let him swim with a rope attached .

Schwartz neighs as if complaining the space prepared on the boat is too tight for him .

Oh, shut up . Get on and go to sleep .

「Then let us depart immediately . We need to get Lord Hardlett to the Supreme Commander of Defense even one day faster . 」

「Yes, if we arrive and everything is over, it will not look good . 」

Beside me, the ship’s crew load barrels of food and other supplies .

「You’re going to pack so many barrels of just food?」

「We need fodder for the horses too . Since we’re in a hurry, we want to head directly to White City without having to stop at a port . 」

「Anyways, this barrel is awfully heavy . It wouldn’t be this heavy even if it was filled with meat . I’ll just take a peek…… what, the lid won’t open . 」

「Give it a rest, we’re out of time . Arbakin-sama will yell at you . 」

Hm? I swear that barrel moved just now…… . I think I also saw a hand from that bundle of fodder .

As the boat moved away from the riverside, we start accelerating smoothly .

Wind is conveniently blowing from behind us so the boat glides along the water like a galloping horse .

「At the rate we’re going, we’ll probably get there within a week . 」

「Hahaha, no way! This might be a pirate ship but it’ll take at least one month . 」

Arbakin and I joke around as we enjoy the scenery .

The crew also start their own conversations and time passes by mysteriously peacefully .

That was until a suspicious boat appeared before us .
