The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button

139. Invitation and Demonkind [3]

Tenshi-sama locked the door, calmly walked past me, and she sat down on the bed.

「What are you doing? Don’t keep standing there, hurry up and come sit here.」Tensh-sama said, as she hit the bed with her palm.

Apparently, she wants me to sit right beside her.

「I-I understand.」

While looking around the room, I walked towards the bed.

(One at the back of the hanging scroll. One inside the dresser. One inside the closet. One at the very end of the bed lace. A total of four people, huh…)

Listening carefully, I could hear a number of small breaths being exhaled.

Surely, it must be the swordsmen who were entrusted with the escort of Tenshi-sama.

(Creating a situation as if there are only the two of us and employing the minimum security.)

A careful set-up prepared by Tenshi-sama, I guess.

「Excuse me.」I said, and sat down to her right, putting some distance between us.

「Ara? You’re living under one roof with the Princess of Vesteria, yet you’re not used to socializing with a woman.」

Tenshi-sama moved closer to me, with a sadistic smile on her face.

(T-Too close… And soft!?)

Her soft thighs were on my left hand, and at the same time, her pleasant smell filled my nostrils.

(C-Calm down! In the first place, how does Tenshi-sama know about me and Ria living together?)

I took a deep breath to suppress my racing heart and scrambled mind

Watching me in that state, Tenshi-sama let slip a chuckle.

「Fufu… Nee, what kind of person are you, Allen? Tell me about yourself.」she said, poking me on the left cheek.

「Let me answer your question with another question. But why do you wish to know about me?」

I don’t understand the reason why a heavenly person like Tenshi-sama, would care about an ordinary citizen like me.

「Hmm? Let’s see… At first, it was just a simple interest.」

「Interest?」

「Yes. You’re plenty famous, you know?『The Dark Swordsman Who Rules Thousand Blade Academy』『The Villain Who Conspired to Overthrow the State』『Future Blade Of The Black Organization!』 Fufu, all those terrible rumors were so funny. Such an amusing swordsman, I thought. That is why I started to look into you a little bit.」

「I, I see…」

Apparently, my bad rumors were at the level where it reached Tenshi-sama’s ear.

「But the outcome was, those rumors were all lies. Allen is a very ordinary swordsmanship student.」

「Yes. That’s right.」

「It’s a high level information manipulation to make you look like that.」

「Eh?」

Tenshi-sama seems to have come to an unusual conclusion.

「Making you stand out in just the right amount, slipping in lies in just the right amount, and making you seem useless in just the right amount. I don’t know who, but there is someone who is skillfully manipulating information regarding you. It’s delicate information manipulation that makes Allen Rodore to be judged『mediocre』when someone looks into you.」

Tenshi-sama confidently talked about her conspiracy theory-like reasoning.

「This is probably because they are trying to keep Allen out of the eyes of the “Upper Thirteen Knights of the Oracle“ and the “Seven Holy Swords”. I get the impression that they’re helping you spread your wings into the world.」

「Eh, uh…」

…How troubling.

(Where on earth do I correct it from?)

I understood for the first time today that it’s really troublesome when a smart person misunderstands something.

「For the time being, I have something I want to ask you right away. Do you mind?」

「Ah, no. Go ahead.」

「Where are you from?」

A surprisingly simple question.

「Goza village, which is situated far from Orest.」

「Goza village? Born outside of the Ringard Imperial Kingdom, is that what you are saying?」

「No, it’s certainly a very small village, but Goza Village is a province in Ringard.」

Perhaps the economic scale of the Goza village was too small, as the Emperor didn’t seem to know of its existence.

「Hey… I am the heavenly ruler, the Tenshi, of Ringard Imperial Kingdom. I know every single millimeter of my territory. Thus, I can assert that there’s no province in this country called『Goza Village』.」

「…Eh?」

Goza village… is not?

What on earth is she talking about?

「N-No… It’s a small village far northwest of Gran Swordsmanship Academy.」

「What are you saying? Northwest of Gran Swordsmanship Academy is a large “wasteland” where even plants don’t grow. It’s been like that for a few decades now.」

「HA!?」

No, no, no… that’s impossible.

Goza village is a thriving agricultural village. Green fields spread in all directions as far as the eyes can see.

Mother and bamboo geezer live there, and there is a brook where we can catch a lot of fish – everyone helps each other out and lives together.

(That Goza village… A wasteland?)

It’s impossible.

I’m sure Tenshi-sama is remembering wrongly or something.

「In addition, another thing is strange. Even if you look up the family register, a person called『Allen Rodore』does not exist anywhere. I wonder if you came from a foreign country?」

「Eh?」

I was shocked by the questions that were thrown in succession.

「What? Is that also a secret? Well, that’s fine. I’m going to ask you the next question.」

「Y-Yes…」

Then, I answered Tenshi-sama’s question, holding an unsatisfied feeling inside me the whole time.

Favorite food.

Hobby.

Hopes for the future.

Full of simple questions that were usually asked during self introduction.

She asked a question, I answered, and then she questioned again.

When that wearisome exchange was repeated about ten times,

「Yoshi, with this the conditions are cleared. It’s time for you to become my『manservant』!」

Tenshi-sama suddenly pushed me down.

「What!?」

And she quickly straddled onto my stomach in a fluid motion, and gave off a seductive smile.

「Te-Tenshi-sama… What are you?」

「Fufu. You know… When I see a young, promising, pure man like you, I start wanting them!」she said, tracing her cold, slender finger along my chest.「Good looking toned muscles… Fufu, all this is going to be mine.」

「P-Please stop joking!」

When I twisted my body, trying to get out of Tenshi-sama’s restraint,

「Engrave -〈Love Slave〉!」

Tenshi-sama brought out a long fingernail-like soul dress equipped on her index finger.

(S-Soul dress!?)

I don’t know what she’s going to do, but this is not a situation where I can let her do as she pleases, even if it’s Tenshi-sama herself.

「Fufu, it’s okay. It won’t hurt that much.」she said, and ran her tongue along the pointy edge of the soul dress.

「Do you mean to stab me?」

「Fufu, pretending to be tough. It’s cute. But unfortunately for you, even if I look like this, I have practiced swordsmanship!」

Tenshi-sama said, and thrust down her index finger, aimed at my chest.

(Certainly, it’s quite fast.)

It seems to be true that she has practiced swordsmanship.

But if it’s just at this level, Dark Robe can handle it.

「HA!」

I clad myself in dense darkness, and defended her blow perfectly.

「Ouch!?」

The moment her nail came into contact with the dark robe, her face distorted in pain.

「S-Sorry. Are you oka–」

The brief moment when I retracted the darkness, worrying about Tenshi-sama’s welfare,

「Just kidding.」

Tenshi-sama stabbed her index finger onto my chest, aiming for that slight opening when the dark robe disappeared.

「What!?」

A slight pain ran, and a little blood flowed out at the same time.

「Fufu, with this you are my faithful manservant. It’s okay. Soon you will only be able to think of me and nothing else.」Tenshi-sama hugged me tightly, and whispered into my ear.

(This is!?)

It felt like her consciousness was penetrating deep into me.

(This is bad! This sensation… Is it a mental corruption type soul dress!?)

I can’t muster any strength into my body.

Darkness, too… I can’t control it properly.

(Shit!)

As my consciousness started to fade,

『Teme… Who the hell gave you permission to step into my world!? Aa!?』
