Chapter 139

ある奴隷の身の上
The Personal History of a Certain Slave

On the bed.

I gazed at the exhausted Neora who was lying down with her legs crossed.

「Ah」

Neora let out a quiet groan.

I lightly touched her shoulder, and her body was pulled to the opposite direction.

「Oh?」

It was the technique which Neora used during practice with me; I was also giving her guidance on how to use it.

When I thought that it was interesting, I felt something soft on the back of my head.

I was resting my head on her l thighs——the so-called lap-pillow.

「You can even use it like that?」

「Yes. Um……」

「Hm?」

「I heard from Niki-chan that Kakeru-sama really likes this. That’s why…」

Neora anxiously said, looking embarrassed.

Does she even have to be embarrassed about this after having sex with me?

「Yeah, I love it. It’s the best thing ever when a good woman lets me do this」

「Hoh……um, I’m sorry」

「Hm?」

「It was my first time……so I was clumsy」
「Don’t worry about it. There’s a first time for everything」

「Yes… But was it alright?」

「What do you mean?」

「Such an inexperienced girl like me being your partner… Well, I thought that Kakeru-sama wouldn’t take virgins like us」

「Who’s spewing such horse-shit?」

I rose from Neora’s thighs.

「Ah……」

She made a slightly lonely face.

「Do it again」

「……yes!」

Neora used her technique again and made me rest my head on her thighs.

While enjoying the soft sensation of her lap-pillow, I questioned Neora.

「Who was the one that spread that kinda rumor?」

「Err……Rather than someone spreading rumors, I think it’s just that we’ve generally accepted it as such」

「”We”? You mean the slaves?」

Neora nodded.

「We figured, since Kakeru-sama is surrounded by such beautiful Princesses and Queens, he wouldn’t bother with clumsy virgins like us」

「That’s not the case」

「But……」

「If it’s a good woman, I’ll embrace her. It doesn’t matter if she’s a virgin or not. To make it simple…」

I pointed at Elearnor, who was leaning against the wall.

「…she was used goods, you see」

（Don’t drag me into this! And ‘used goods’ my butt!）

Eleanor loudly protested. It was an exceptionally loud voice that made my head ring.

Oh well, I’ll ignore her.

「I see」

「Even so, the rumor did spread, huh. ……Neora」

「Yes, what is it?」

「You’re the captain of the Second Platoon, right?」

「Yes……?」

「Alright」

I rose and got off the bed.

「Gather everyone from the Second Platoon. I’ll bed all of them at once」 [TN: Alpha as fuck]

「Y-Yes!」

Neora hurriedly got off the bed.

She helped me get dressed, then put on some clothes and left the room.

I took my time following after her, in order to make preparations.

「Even bad rumors have their good points」

（Kuku. Come to think of it, you’ve only slept with virgins so far. That said, it really is just a bad rumor, saying that you don’t do virgins）

「So you haven’t forgotten about yourself?」

I poked Elearnor.

（That was genuinely the first time I had a baby）

「……heh」

I stopped and looked at Eleanor.

Wait a minute, does that mean she was also a virgin?

But she’s a Cursed Sword, so I don’t know.

I began walking again, catching up with Neora.

（More importantly, was it true?）

「Hm?」

（Are you not interested in virgins?）

「I don’t really care. Virgin or not, it means little with a good woman」

（I see）

Eleanor’s voice was somewhat soft. It was subtle enough that I wasn’t sure if Eleanor herself was aware of it.

I walked down the hallway and arrived at the entrance of the barracks.

There, I saw Neora standing still.

「Neoーー」

（Something seems off）

Eleanor’s tone suddenly changed.

I stopped my feet and observed.

Neora was maintaining a door-opening pose, and I could sense the presence of people beyond that point.

「I didn’t say anything weird. You know that, don’t you?」

「……yes」

Neora was casting her eyes down and nodding reluctantly.

It was the voice of a man, and, based on his tone, he didn’t seem to be any kind of big-shot.

Neora was several hundred times better than him as a person.

And yet, she was letting him talk down to her.

I was wondering why when the reason was plainly presented to me.

「It’s only natural that you’d have to pay the debt when your parents can’t, right?」

Loan Shark.

（What will you do?）

「I got this」 [TN: I will bed that man as well. LOL I’M SORRY READERS]

I walked toward them with long strides and placed myself between Neora and the man.

The face of the man outside the door was revealed.

He was certainly tall, but his hunchback made him look weak.

「Who the hell are you?」

「How much does she owe you?」

「Kakeru-sama!?」

Neora was startled, but I ignored that.

「How much is it?」

「Are you gonna pay for her? Hmm?」

「It’s only natural that the master will pay his slave’s debt, yeah?」

I turned the man’s words right back at him.

「Heh, playing the hero, huh. It’s not an amount that you can just nonchalantly pay in one go, y’know?」

The man broke into a grin, his bad breath irritating me to no end.

I silently opened my dimensional storage.

I took out a bunch of new Mercury bills.

「Enough?」

「What? A magic trick?」

「Doesn’t matter. I asked you if this is enough」

「Heh, hehe. You found yourself a pretty good master」

The man flipped through the notes with his finger, looking satisfied.

Seemed like it was enough.

「Beat it」

「Right, right. See ya next time」

「Wait」

I stopped the man.

「What do you mean ‘next time’? Wasn’t that the full amount?」

「Heh」

Hearing the man snort scornfully, Neora sniffled behind me.

「The debt is gone, but her parents are debt-aholic, so…」

☆

Neora Komenena.

She was born into a prosperous family of swordsmen as the fourth generation family head.

During her grandfather’s time (the second generation), things went extremely well, and they amassed a fortune, but it all started to go downhill under the third generation, her father.

Though incompetent, her father was a vain person, and he had ruined a number of trade-deals and businesses.

Every time he failed, not only would he not reflect, he became even more vain, and so the family collapsed.

Furthermore, he never stopped increasing the debt his family had to bear by selling his daughter off as a slave.

That’s why the collector frequently came to bother Neora.

After hearing everything from Neora, I understood the situation.

☆

In the morning, I went to the barracks using the Warp Feather.

Because of a few tedious things, I was tired.

「Good morning! Your Excellency!」

I came across Niki again.

「Thanks. Where’s Nana?」

「She’s in Neora’s room!」

We had the exact same exchange as yesterday before I walked toward that room.

I arrived at Neora’s room and knocked on the door.

「Yes?」

「It’s me」

「Kakeru-sama! I’m sorry, please give me a minute」

Neora began to panic. I ignored that and just entered.

She was inside with Nana.

Neora was frantically trying to wake Nana up.

「So early……again」

The half-asleep Nana received her panties from Neora and put them on.

This was also the same as yesterday; Nana was a disappointment in her private time, and Neora was trying her best to take care of Nana.

Once Nana had fully woken up, the three of us went to the training ground.

Nana was at the front, while I was in the center, and Neora was at the rear.

「Thank you」

Suddenly, Neora spoke to me with a fragile voice.

It was a voice as soft as a breath that only my x777 hearing could pick up.

It appeared that she’d guessed itーーthe fact that I’d done something to her old man.

（It’s because you have such a simple mind when it comes to chasing women）

I poked Eleanor.

「Neora」

「Yes!」

Startled, Neora jumped.

She was trembling.

「Come at me with all you’ve got as usual. If you do well, I’ll “love” you」

For a second, Neora made a blank face. That face was literally saying, “Wait it’s not about my father?”

However, that expression didn’t last long.

「I’ll do my best!」

She became cheerful.

That face of hers was beautiful, and the way she swung her sword after that was also really sharp.

After training, it was a sex festival just like yesterday.
