Chapter 457

Translator: Nat

–Aegir POV–

「The city of Meldora doesn’t seem to have anything important in it.」

I plop myself down on the sofa in the room we requisitioned from Busco, in other words, the former king’s quarters.

This room is elevated and allows me to overlook the entire city.

Of course, we fought in the urban area, so the city is not undamaged.

Even so, looking at the fallen city overall, I would say it’s in relatively good condition.

Most of all, I see the giant mechanical soldiers standing behind the veil of the heat haze rising from the ever-growing red flames, which have melted down the city’s walls and defense equipment.

『On standby.』

『Postponing murder and destruction.』

The citizens are scared so it would be better if they moved somewhere else as soon as possible.

「Nuu……nuun! Eei, I’m not in the mood!!」

The problem is over here.

Apparently Gildress hasn’t gotten over what happened.

It’s quite rare for him, for better or worse, that he feels this way considering he hasn’t lived that long.

「You haven’t eaten after the battle, that’s why the feeling is prolonged. Meat has just been grilled, so why don’t you fill your stomach and cheer up.」

Meat cooked by Busco’s chefs gets placed before us.

Gildress and I each grab a handful and take a big bite.

Soup-like juices from the meat ooze out and spread throughout my mouth, sliding down my throat along with larger chunks of meat I haven’t completely chewed.

The fattiness is perfect to satisfy hunger.

「This is a fine piece of meat. It’s nothing like this ugly interior design.」

「Umu, my eyes are rotting because of how weak the dazzling surfaces appear.」

All the furniture in Busco’s room is covered with gold and on top of that, there is a cloth sewn with a gold leaf hanging down from the ceiling.

It clearly seems to me he is trying to hide his inferiority complex with jewels and gold.

「Nuun. It is as you said, my friend, I feel better after I ate. Now that I’m full, we have to decide how much he pays.」

「Isn’t that enough?」

Gildress and I exchange glances and we simultaneously tense up our abs.

「Gehoh! M-my jaw……」

「It’s too big…… I can’t fit anymore in my mouth if it keeps swelling……」

Both of us have a woman kneeling in between our legs and servicing us with their mouths.

Busco’s wife is attending to me while Busco’s eldest daughter is attending to Gildress.

The wife is 37 and the daughter is 19.

They are both stark naked, exposing their large asses and humble breasts inherited from their genes.

「Hahaha, I couldn’t help it. C’mon, keep going.」

「If you’re 19, you’re a full-fledged woman. Don’t lose to your mother. Suck on it.」

I lightly tap the mother’s brow with my dick as Gildress prods the daughter with his dick.

「Uuu…… my dear……」

「Father……」

The girls peek at the corner of the room.

Busco was there crawling on the floor.

「The best meat raised with special fodder! My wife who is known for her ultimate beauty! My daughter who is blessed with all the good looks I was never born with! I offer them all to you, so I beg for lenient treatment!」

Busco grinds his forehead on the ground.

He wasn’t forced to do anything.

Despite already being spared, Busco is still prostrating himself.

When Gildress kicks him over, Busco cries and begs for forgiveness.

「That is not a man anymore. You will not be that thing’s daughter, you will become my woman.」

Gildress grabs the daughter’s head and pushes his dick deep into her mouth.

「……」

The mother also sends Busco a look of disdain before opening her mouth and swallowing my cock.

Then she rests her hands on my lap, tilts her chin and moves her body back and forth, careful that she doesn’t hit the back of her throat.

「How do you like my wife’s service! She screamed and resisted on the first night of our marriage, but I thoroughly trained……」

「Shut up.」

Busco cries “Yes, sorry! I’ll shut up.” when I yell at him and sprawls on the ground.

For the next while, only the sounds of slurping could be heard, and that was when Gildress spoke to me again.

「My friend. What are you going to do next?」

「I guess I’ll head back. The reason I came all the way here was to stop those annoying weapons.」

If all the weapons have been shut down like Tikuku said, then Erich should know we’ve completed our mission.

He’ll probably send a messenger to call me back――no, the messenger might already be on his way.

「Fumu. I also received a notice from the council back home. After celebrating our victory, they want me to bring all the soldiers back to Aless. The other Poleis will be wary now that Meldora has been crushed, so it isn’t a good idea to let the soldiers roam free for much longer.」

A council-like body exists in Aless and Gildress, being the king, can’t ignore their wishes.

If he is asked to return, he has to listen.

「But as a man, I decided to support you. If you tell me to come, I will follow you to the ends of the earth.」

「No, you don’t have to go that far.」

Aless was a big help.

Without them, the state of battle would still be uncertain.

I’ll forgive him for being gross this time.

「Nuu, you’re fine?」

「Yeah, thanks for your cooperation. But I have to at least fight the final decisive battle on my own.」

Gildress nods.

「I see. Of course. Then we’ll say our farewells here.」

Gildress sticks out his hand.

I thought he was going for a handshake, but when I extended my hand in response, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward him. What tremendous strength.

「I won’t pray for your victory. After pulling your hand, I feel certain you’ll win.」

Gildress gives me a firm hug and slaps my back a few times.

The wind gets knocked out of me. If I was Tristan, my spine would be broken.

「Right. Well, see ya.」

I return the favor and give his shoulder a good smack too.

If it was Tristan, his shoulder would be dislocated, but Gildress simply grunts and nods.

「The fight was fun. Call me again in the next war.」

「Huh? When South Yuguria is defeated, there won’t be any enemies left.」

After Gildress breaks the embrace, the corners of his mouth curl up.

He looks straight into my eyes.

「Fuhahahaha…… next time, my friend.」

I avert my gaze.

We’re done talking about this topic.

「By the way, I want to move on.」

「My friend, me too.」

Gildress and I place our hands on the shoulders of the women in between our legs and stop their service.

Obviously, this is not the end.

We strip our clothes in an instant, lift up the mother and daughter, and throw them on the bed.

Fortunately, the bed has enough space for everyone.

「Noo!」

「Kya!」

I lay the mother on her back and spread her legs as wide as they could go.

Gildress lays the daughter on her stomach and puts his hands on her plump butt.

「I beg of you, please use contraception! The medicine is in the cupboard――!」

「I don’t want to get pregnant!」

Their pleas fall on deaf ears.

「Too bad, you’re going to become my woman. I’m not going to use any drugs.」

「No birth control for you. Bear my child.」

I angle my hips up and rest my dick on her belly to let her grasp the size of my genitals.

Gildress parts the daughter’s butt cheeks and slides his dick along the crack.

The mother pushes against my chest, but when she realizes her resistance is futile, she stretches her hand out to her husband instead.

「Dear, save me!! This person’s balls are the size of apples and are tightening! If he shoots all that rich seed stored in them inside me, I’ll definitely get pregnant! Please, dear――!!」

「Father――! Juice is dripping from this person’s rod! He definitely intends on getting me pregnant―― nooooo!!」

The daughter bucks her hips desperately to get away, but Gildress doesn’t let her escape.

Busco stands up with a flustered expression after hearing appeals from his wife and daughter.

Gildress and I look at each other.

Is he going to defy us here?

Then we have to accept his challenge as men.

「Niesys, Naesys…… will you stop!? What do you think will happen if you get scratch marks on your noble bodies? If you upset them, I’ll get killed! Please accept this gesture and have mercy on me――」

Busco kneels again.

Niesys’s outstretched hand drops to the bed.

The downcast woman closes her eyes briefly, then glares angrily at Busco when she opens them again.

「You scum! Instead of protecting your wife and daughter who are about to be raped, you beg for your life!? You should be ashamed!」

「Bu-buhi!?」

After scolding her husband, Niesys removes her hands from my chest and softly caresses my cheeks.

Then, she initiates a kiss.

「Take everything away……」

That’s good enough for me.

I pick up Niesys’s thighs and slowly apply my weight on her.

「Uuu! Uuuu! Aaaaghh――!!!」

I can feel the sensation of my penis pushing apart the flesh walls inside of her vagina.

「It’s stretching! That place is stretching wide and being stolen! It’s being modified to only fit big dicks!!」

Although Niesys shrieks, she doesn’t struggle.

She inserts her tongue into my mouth as if to distract herself from the impact of the penetration.

「Kyaaaa!! It’s tearing me apart!!」

At the same time, the daughter Naesys is penetrated by Gildress in the doggy style and cries out louder than her mother.

However, she doesn’t ask her father for help.

「It hurts…… let me hold your hand.」

She reaches behind her as tears stream down her face.

When Gildress takes her hand, she squeezes so hard that her hand turns white, as if she’s enduring the pain.

I guess she has stopped expecting anything from Busco.

「Buheh, how is it? What do you think of my wife and daughter? If they are to your liking, then please treat――」

I drive Busco’s voice out of my ear and focus on kissing Niesys while rocking my hips.

In the beginning, Niesys would groan in anguish and grip my shoulder or arm tightly with every thrust I make.

Gradually, as her pussy gets accustomed to my size and those pained groans disappear, her hands start stroking my cheek and chest.

Continuing longer, blood rushes to her face, her groans are replaced with moans, her hands wrap around my back and hips as if coaxing for something, and her thighs grind against me almost like they crave more pleasure.

I guess it’s about time.

「I’m gonna cum inside. Got it?」

「Yes…… go ahead.」

Without any hesitation, Niesys relaxes her body.

That’s her declaration to me that I can do whatever I want.

I give her a few final thrusts, then slip my left arm under her lower body and my right arm under her neck, and hug her tightly.

「Oohh!」

I let out a groan and ejaculate.

「Hot!? Such force! A tremendous amount! It’s reaching so deep…… I’m cumming too!!」

Niesys climaxes simultaneously from the intensity of my ejaculation.

She initially digs her nails into my shoulder, but changes her mind and grabs the sheets as her body tenses up.

「Hmp!」

Gildress ejaculates almost at the same time.

While holding Naesys from behind, he presses her down into the bed.

「Something hot and thick is continuously pumping into me! My stomach feels weird!!」

Because lust built up after a battle, he releases plenty of seed.

The chorus of the two women’s feeble mews and of our groaning continued for some time.

「Mother…… I can hear it shooting inside me. I’m going to make……a baby.」

「There is also squirting inside your mother. Aah, Naesys…… your mother is also pregnant.」

「Bu-buhi!」

For some reason, Busco also squeals and his hips shake, but he’s not even worth looking at.

Eventually, my orgasm ends and my dick slides out.

「Alright, next. Come in.」

The door opens, welcoming in a 17 year old girl who still has some youth left in her face and a 25 year old beauty who is at the prime of her womanhood.

They are Nasis and Tarka, Busco’s second daughter and mistress respectively.

「Oooh, Nasis, Tarka, you two are also here! Now come and service these two gentlemen. Be sure to use what I’ve taught you!」

「……hmph.」

Nasis stares coldly when she sees her father, brushes away the hand offered to her as if she was repulsed, takes off her clothes and then walks over to me.

「You’re the worst.」

Tarka even spits in Busco’s direction before mounting Gildress.

Apparently they were watching the earlier exchange between us.

After that, we naturally poured our seed in the two new females, which again caused Busco’s hips to tremble as he groaned disgustingly each time.

Everything has ended.

The mother and daughter lean against me and Gildress as semen leaks from the red swollen holes.

「My new dear……you were so wonderful.」

Niesys strokes my cock as she flicks her tongue over my nipple.

「My new father……that felt great.」

Naesys climbs on Gildress’s back and lovingly wraps her arms around his neck.

Their hearts have been completely stolen.

Much less than a family member, they probably don’t even see Busco as more than an unpleasant object.

However, Gildress has a frown on his face.

「Umu, I said that we would both get women, right?」

He did. It was decided that I would get the mother Niesys and the second daughter Nasis, while Gildress would get the eldest daughter Naesys and the mistress Tarka.

It’s an equal distribution, besides we’ve already impregnated our respective partners.

「Recently, I’ve been surrounding myself with multiple young girls. This time, I want to bring home more mature ladies.」

Gildress puts his arm around Niesys’s waist.

「Eh!? B-but Hardlett-sama has already――」

Gildress doesn’t say anything and simply sticks out his large dark cock dripping with juices.

Niesys’s eyes melt at the sight.

「……Gildress-sama, no, my dear.」

「Hey, hey, you can’t be serious.」

I grab the eldest daughter Naesys who is clinging to Gildress.

「N-no! Father’s child is already in my――」

I take Naesys’s hand and guide it to my soft yet veiny dick, then to my balls.

「……Hardlett-sama. I mean……father.」

I guess the problem is resolved.

Although, we still have one more thing to address.

「What are we going to do with him?」

When I point to Busco, Gildress groans unhappily.

「We can’t just leave him in Meldora. Either one of us has to take him along.」

「Not me!」

「That’s right. His dirty presence is not wanted in my new life with my dear husband.」

「Bubiih!」

Gildress refuses outright and Busco’s former wife Niesys also agrees.

「Then I guess……」

「Eeeeh? No way.」

「Just kill him.」

The two daughters accompanying me express their disapproval.

「No, I said I would set him free. Even if it’s a promise to an insect, my manlihood would be sullied if I break it!」

I don’t want to bring him with me, but it’s also selfish to keep him alive.

「Alright. I’ll take him. Don’t disobey me.」

「O-of course n-……not……」

Busco suddenly stutters.

「Of course not -gesu!」

「Hey, are you fucking with me?」

When I direct my anger at Busco, he immediately resumes the prostrating position he’s become so good at.

We can move this guy in that pose. It’s actually quite the special skill.

「That’s not it -gesu! My sentences just end in ‘gesu’ now -gesu! Please forgive me -gesu!」

Busco apologizes frantically, but his speech pattern doesn’t change.

It doesn’t look like he’s making fun of me or joking around.

「Gesu…… gesu……」

「Hmm. Did he become so much of a sleaze that it altered his tongue?」

Well, it has nothing to do with me or my family, so it doesn’t matter.

「Whatever then. We’re going to make preparations to head home, come along. If you try to escape, I’ll kill you…… also, you have a nasty stain on your pants. Go and get changed, it’s unsightly.」

「At once, gesu!」

Gildress, no longer interested in him, resumes having sex with Busco’s ex-wife.

I’ll keep it a secret that I thought it was a little amusing.

――Evening.

We’re standing in front of the entrance of the ancient castle which leads to the ruins.

「I will be executing the order.」

Tikuku seeks confirmation from me one more time.

「Go for it.」

I peek at Tristan as I give my approval and he nods unusually seriously.

It should be the correct decision if this guy says so.

「Acting on the authority of management. Sealing the fortress entrance. Suspending all functions except self-preservation. Locking down the fortress.」

The palm of Tikuku’s hand shines red.

As if awaiting confirmation, the light blinks four times, and then a 5 m thick wall descends from the ceiling.

「Final confirmation for lockdown. Release can only be done from the inside. In the case where personnel are not present inside, there is a chance that release will be impossible, do you want to proceed?」

「Yeah, I don’t mind.」

Tikuku doesn’t respond to Tristan’s answer.

「Yes, go ahead.」

After my follow-up response, Tikuku raises her hand, signalling the door to press tightly onto the ground and closing off the path to the ruins.

At the same time, I hear a heavy rumbling above me and I notice a few small rocks fall down.

「Due to the stoppage of the fortress’s power, the T 88 heavy battle dolls will be switched to safe mode. Hereafter, their capabilities will be drastically restricted.」

「So they won’t move anymore?」

It’s kind of a waste, but I have a gut feeling it’s for the better.

「This is fine. If a hostile entity uses the weapons of this fortress, we’d be in trouble. No matter how much the defenses are fortified, people can just sneak like we―― ouch!」

I kick Tristan lightly in the shin.

「No need for excuses. You thought we should close the ruins. I allowed it. End of story.」

There was no answer.

I only tapped him, why is he rolling around in pain? What a weak guy.

「I really heard my bone crack! ……anyways, so you saw through it. There’s only so much I can do to lie. But this is actually for the best. Not only for this war, but for hundreds of years to come.」

I said it was the end.

「We got what we could take too. Then again, Tikuku probably doesn’t like this.」

What we did was basically nailing the door of her home.

「Negative. I have no personal feelings on the matter.」

『However――』, she trails off.

「The 1057-year hiatus is extremely inefficient and pointless. I realize it greatly ruins my action potential. The main cause is the lack of flexibility in the order to defend the fortress. I worry about the severe lack of ability in the order givers」

「She clearly has personal feelings.」

「She’s pretty irritated.」

Celia and Agor smile wryly.

「Negative. I do not have any personal feelings.」

The smiling spreads to me and I give Tikuku’s head a pat.

Fumu, her rainbow pastel-colored hair is outside the realm of human, but it feels exactly the same as regular hair.

「Please refrain from excessive touching.」

I get the same warning when I pat Tikuku’s head and in the process, I find a wound on her forehead.

「Hey, you’re injured.」

I brush her hair up and discover a crack in her forehead where blood is oozing out.

「Was it from that time?」

Back when Tikuku was attacking Meldora on top of the giant’s shoulder, a fragment from an arrow or bolt hit her.

I thought she would be fine considering she’s an automatic doll, but she’s bleeding like a normal human.

I ran through the possibility of her being an actual human in my head only to be reminded of the time her head spun 360 degrees.

「For now, I’ll get Natia to apply some ointment……wait, will it even work?」

「It is unnecessary. The damage is minor and can be regenerated. 4 hours until it regenerates.」

So she will heal in 4 hours?

I don’t understand how machines can heal on their own.

「The body of T 90 is composed of four layers. Starting from the innermost layer, it is the function layer, armor layer, recovery layer, artificial body layer. Damage that reaches the recovery layer will naturally heal. In this particular case, damage is only to the outer body, thus the regeneration time will be short.」

「I see……」

I look at Celia.

I’ll get her to explain it to me later.

「Machine or otherwise, you’re female. Protect your face from now on. You’ll make those watching, like me, worry.」

「My essential functions are located in the center of my body. My highest priority should be to protect the body. The only functions in my head are the optic sensor, vocalization system, and the mini genocide cannon. I can still act even if my head is completely destroyed. However, I will accept your order and increase priority on the head.」

「Hey, wasn’t that strange?」

What is Natia saying? Whatever, let’s go home.

「Confirming the closure of the fortress. Determining that my mission of facility preservation and management support is impossible to accomplish.」

Tikuku also says something.

「Restarting the restriction program for fortress management…………complete. Unlocking limits to thought and action. ――――human model track-and-exterminate weapon T 99, restoration complete.」

Tikuku’s eyes suddenly glow red.

「What’s wrong?」

「Nothing. Everything is normal. There are no threats in the vicinity.」

Alright then.

「By the way, what did you take from the ruins?」

I strike up some conversation on the way back.

Obviously, I took the Keravnos.

「I got…… this.」

Mack pulls out a cylindrical object.

It’s glowing red for some reason.

「A sword? No, it doesn’t have a blade so it must be something else.」

Mack rubs the tube with great care.

「If someone bathes in this light, they can get a dark tan within a day.」

「You pervert.」

Damn, he intends to use it on women he likes and change their skin tone to his preferred dark skin.

How disgraceful of him to use a hidden treasure of the ruins for his own fetishes.

「For me…… I got this.」

Agor pulls out an object resembling a lamp.

It emits a blue light that is brighter than what Mack’s object emits.

「It’s a lamp that shines endlessly. It doesn’t have a spout to add oil, and you can even use it in water. I think this will be useful in my personal life and in the military.」

If it can shine forever, that’s incredible. In addition, it can be used underwater?

Unlike the vulgar application of Mack’s device, this can come in handy in various situations.

「Caution. It is not recommended to use the PU-15 illumination model in harsh environments. If the external lead film is damaged by a strong impact, the built-in **** may cause serious injury. If the contents spill, it may cause semi-permanent contamination――」

「In other words, ensure it doesn’t break. Well, be careful with it.」

「Yes. It is valuable. I will handle it delicately.」

Agor gently ties the lamp to his waist and lets it dangle.

That should prevent it from dropping.

「How about Celia……fufufu.」

「Auu.」

Celia blushes and hides a box behind her back, but it was too big.

「T-they’re ancient sweets. I tasted one and found them extremely delicious so I gathered all of them in this container.」

How cute.

「Is it safe to eat something that’s over 1000 years old though? It would be a disaster if you got a stomach ache and can’t make it to the toilet in time.」

「That rarely ever happens! I actually think it’s safer when it’s this old. Besides, it contains a drug that preserves food, which apparently allows it to remain safe to eat for a period of up to 5000 years.」

Are you sure that’s safe?

The kind of raw materials I think of that can last 5000 years are rocks or sand.

「Natia, you took four things?」

「That’s because I may never get another chance to enter the Jirubiru ruins.」

「M 102 assault rifle. RP 15 mobile recoilless cannon. P 35 automatic pistol. Glass from the reception room―― the aforementioned items are not permitted to be taken. Please return them.」

Tikuku confiscated the glass.

It can’t be returned to the fortress anymore, so isn’t it fine to let her have it?

Other than that, the other items are strange things I don’t know anything about.

「Tristan took a historic document? I was wondering what interesting item you got, but you chose a book?」

「No, I can affirm that mine has more value than all the items you people took. I’ve had enough…… I’ll slowly decode this on my own.」

Next…… aah, I see the attendant accompanying Agor also took something for herself.

Did she take the smallest ornament that matches her reserved personality?

「E-err, this is―― um!?」

「Hahaha, you don’t have to tell me. You don’t want me to pry, right?」

Alright, time to go back.

I have to retrieve that piece of trash too.

「Warning. SSU 13 hypnotic apparatus is not allowed to be used to affect fortress personnel. If found, they will be stopped by force.」

「U-understood. But…… using it on Agor-san…… is fine, right?」

「There is currently one fortress personnel. Agor does not qualify.」

「Fu, fufu…… if I use this……Agor-san and I……Agor-san and……」

Tikuku is speaking with the girl.

I can’t quite make out the specifics, but it’s a rather odd combination.

–Third Person POV–

In the Meantime――Rafen.

「That family has 6 children. Fix it with the highest priority.」

「The repairs of the city wall need to be low and wide! The battlefield is way to the south. We are more afraid of bandits and monsters more so than enemy soldiers!」

「We don’t have enough ingredients for emergency food distribution!? Did you miscalculate!? I don’t care if it’s a carrot or a potato, if they don’t have anything to eat, they won’t last! Go procure something edible!」

Roaring and orders are abundant in Rafen today too.

Although the damage to the city is small compared to other cities, various effects of the siege appeared.

Restoration is centered around Adolph and being completed as best as possible, but things are far from returning to the way they were before the war.

Despite countless tasks needing to be done, not everyone is working diligently.

「Man, I’m tired. I can slack off a little, right? I mean, Delbo has wandered off somewhere too.」

「Very well. The boss isn’t here, and it should be fine if nobody finds――」

「You can not!!」

A clear and sharp voice scolds the laborers who tried to half-ass their masonry by using cheap gravel.

「Dowah!」

「Madam Nonna!!」

Nonna walks briskly toward the workers and slaps one of them on the cheek.

Her two accompanying servants also follow suit with hits of their own.

「Do you know the saying “a little leak will sink a great ship”? The place you slack off may be targeted by the enemy’s attack or collapse due to flooding. At that moment, your family or your offspring may be killed! Take your job seriously!」

「「Y-yes ma’am!」」

When the pale-faced workers get back to work, Nonna walks briskly toward them again.

「……this is an advance payment to apologize for slapping and for how hard you’re working. Please accept it.」

Nonna hands each of them a silver coin.

It’s an amount nearly double their daily wages.

「Please accept.」「Accept.」

The two servants also hand each of them a copper coin.

Nonna turns around a final time to warn them, “I will not allow you to be lazy now that you’ve taken it!” before storming off.

「I guess I’ll do it, since I accepted the money.」

「Yeah…… I’ll go call Delbo back too.」

The two laborers exchange glances.

「We were slapped, huh.」

「Yeah……」

「It hurt, huh.」

「Yeah……」

「Her boobs, they touched us, huh.」

「Yeah…… it was amazing.」

「Let’s stretch and put our backs into it.」

「Yeah, but I can’t exactly stand straight right now.」

And so the two workers devoted themselves to the repair, slightly leaning forward.
