Chapter 6: The Dere of the Cool-Type "Kuh, Kill Me" Female Knight
When I tried to get the truth out of Soulie's followers, I was obstructed by Soulie herself.
But that level of precaution that seemed like silencing witnesses... She's increasingly suspicious; it's practically like she's saying she's guilty herself. If I don't recapture Lusitania no matter what, Inarsha will become dependent on me, Norn, and won't be able to go back to how she was. Since the essential Kain is being incredibly rejected by her, if I were to force a coupling now, that guy would probably be chopped to pieces.
If by any chance such a thing happened, the world would meet a ruin end... In "«Rising Hero»" , he was supposed to be her fated partner, so why did it turn out like this...
As I held my head in my hands, Inarsha peered into my face worriedly.
"What's wrong, Norn? Making such a difficult face."
"No, it's nothing."
"Even so, yesterday was terrible. I'm glad Norn didn't get involved."
Should I tell Inarsha about Soulie... But without solid evidence, I hesitated to tell Inarsha. I'll tell her after I grasp the evidence. Even then, it won't be too late. Rather, because there is a friendship between the two, I should be cautious and then cautious again.
"Right, about yesterday's training, the time has come to test those results immediately."
"Could it be a subjugation?"
"That's right. I will issue a summons to the Blue Rose Legion now. Let's talk about the details in the barracks."
—The Blue Rose Legion waiting room.
"It seems a Kraken has appeared offshore, and the neighboring port town is in utter chaos. Therefore, a subjugation request has reached us. It is a perfect opportunity to test the results of our training. Let's show the Kraken everyone's power!"
—Oooooh—!!
The gathered girls of the Blue Rose Legion raised their fists at Inarsha's words and encouraged themselves. Of course, me too. The atmosphere was just like getting hype at a bias's live concert.
After about three days, we arrived at the port town Scotty in the Elon Theocracy. Looking down from a slightly elevated hill, we can confirm that more than ten large sailing ships are anchored. As we were heading to the Port Guild that manages the entire port town, two groups wearing red and blue hoods were arguing in the middle of the street.
—What did you say!?
—You wanna go!?
—Get him!
Just as the leader of the Blue Hoods grabbed the collar of the Red Hoods' leader, the Red Hood punched back. From there, it developed into a brawl involving both camps.
Unable to watch, Roxanne tries to intervene, but her path is blocked by a cane.
"Let them be. Everyone is accumulating frustration because the ships cannot leave. Fighting like this allows them to vent their pent-up anger."
An old man with a hoarse voice had put out his cane to stop Roxanne.
"B-But..."
Unable to endure, Roxanne seeks instructions from Inarsha.
"Old sir, you seem to be familiar with the circumstances of this town..."
"Hahaha! It's because I used to serve as the head of the Port Guild in the past. Oops, could it be that you are..."
"Yes, I am called Inarsha Crizit, appointed to take command of the Kraken Subjugation Squad dispatched from the Papal Office."
"That Ice Sword Princess!? This was rude of me. Come, I will guide you to the Port Guild, so please follow me."
It was just when the old man, the former Guild Master, was about to guide us.
One of the sailors was sent flying right in front of the old man. Roxanne catches him, but without thanking Roxanne, he stands up with anger not subsiding and...
—I won't forgive you anymore!
He pulled out the dagger at his waist.
"Stop right there."
Inarsha, who had overlooked it when it was a fistfight, moves.
"Knights who can't defeat a Kraken shouldn't make arrogant faces! If you're gonna act big, try exterminating that monster squid."
It was conveyed in the information sharing briefing at the barracks, but it seems knights had been dispatched from the Papal Office ahead of us, but apparently, they couldn't stand a chance at all.
It was when the Blue Hood sailor was about to run towards the Red Hood sailors with a dagger in one hand.
"Like hell, I'll settle for this... Guhoh."
The sailor wearing the blue hood held his stomach and collapsed forward. Inarsha had closed the distance with the sailor in an instant and delivered a single punch to the body, then returned to us with a nonchalant face.
—Oi, let's clean up the nuisance first!
—Whew♪ Isn't she a fine woman!
Seeing Inarsha's strength, despite glaring at each other so much just moments ago, the sailors turned their aim toward her.
—If you're gonna surrender, do it now!
—If you get passed around, you'll say 'Kuh, kill me,' won't you?
—Gyahahahaha!
A nasty Boko sound is heard. Inarsha's fist, equipped with a gauntlet, exploded onto a sailor's face.
—You did it even though you're a woman!
—I won't go easy on you, Oraaa!
The sailors pull out their respective weapons, but Inarsha does not flinch at that level.
As if performing a dance, with elegant movements, she punches, kicks, sweeps, and throws... The blown-away sailor became a bowling ball and sent the sailors waiting behind him flying.
Children of noble families like Inarsha can usually only fight in rigid styles and often fall behind those accustomed to brawls. But how about Inarsha? While refined, she handles opponents flexibly, just unilaterally beating them down. I thought she had strength comparable to Mao not only in swordsmanship but also in taijutsu.
Applause erupts from the gallery of the port town at the spectacular suppression drama.
—S-Strooong...
Those crawling on the ground and those fallen in a spread-eagle shape had literally prostrated themselves before Inarsha. She slowly and elegantly returns to us. Strangely enough, she fit snugly into my cleavage as if her battery had run out.
"Norn... let me be spoiled a little. I am not very good at taijutsu. I couldn't handle it with bare hands, and I was wondering what to do if I ended up having to draw my sword."
No, there wasn't anyone in that group who could make Inarsha draw her sword, but...
—We give up!
After I healed the sailors Inarsha beat up, they bowed deeply.
I think 'Beat-up Healer' is a match-pump (arsonist-firefighter scheme). Because if you heal them after beating them up, the opponents you knocked down—even if not all of them—will feel gratitude for healing them rather than anger.
"No need for thanks. More importantly, we are looking for skilled sailors for the Kraken subjugation. Do you know anyone?"
The men in blue and red hoods start whispering, but not a single person raised their hand.
"It can't be helped, let's try elsewhere."
Even when Inarsha asked, everyone remained silent. Just as she was about to turn her heel, a voice called out.
—Wait!
—Skilled sailors are us, aren't we!
—W-We'll do it!
The sailors wearing blue and red hoods thrust their fists up; it seemed they would cooperate.
One sailing ship was prepared for us, and selected members among the blue and red sailors are steering.
—It suddenly got stormy!
—Shit! It's a storm!!
Even though it was clear weather and a calm sea (nagi) state just a while ago. In the violent shaking, we grabbed the mast and endured desperately so as not to be thrown into the sea.
—K-Kraken!!
A voice resembling a scream echoed from the sailors. The Kraken is right in the middle of the storm, swinging its tentacles up and down. As if thinking our sailing ship is prey that has come to it...
Amidst the strong blowing wind, I proposed to Inarsha.
"Captain, ram straight into the Kraken."
"That's! Too reckless! The opponent is a Kraken—wait!!"
The Captain hurriedly went to assist the helmsman next to him and turned the rudder. The Kraken's tentacle attacked the place where our ship had been, sending up a large splash.
Normally, one would think braving the Kraken's tentacle attack for a frontal breakthrough is madness.
But I know from game knowledge.
That the proposal which seems like an unreasonable demand at first glance is actually the safest!
"My precious Norn says so! If we rush in like this and die, I will apologize by dying!"
I-Inarsha?
Do you have two lives?
—I don't know what's going on but...
—The Holy Knight-sama is tripping balls!
—If we don't steel our resolve too, the men of the sea will weep!
Whether serious or senile, I don't know, but Inarsha's words resonated with the sailors, and the sailing ship heads straight for the Kraken's torso! The tentacles aim for the sailing ship like missiles trailing smoke, but the tentacles arched and passed over the mast.
—Impossible...
—We're alive...
—Is that girl a prophet!?
The sailors were dumbfounded looking at the thick tentacles right above the ship. But they quickly adjusted their stance at the Captain's words.
"All hands, brace for impact—!!"
"Lord of Elon who is in heaven! Protect us who serve Elon! 【Sacred Shield Aegis】"
Immediately after Inarsha chanted a buff to strengthen the hull, the ram situated right under the bow smashes into the Kraken's torso. A ram is something used to crash into enemy ships in naval battles to destroy the hull.
The Kraken far surpasses the ship hull in size, but the ram strengthened by Inarsha smashed in, and it seems to be flinching from that impact. Seeing this as a good opportunity, Inarsha takes position at the bow, aiming the tip of the Spiral Blade at the center of the Kraken.
—Don't touch there!
But just when Inarsha was poised to finish off the Kraken, the girls of the Blue Rose Legion were caught by the Kraken's tentacles. As expected of an eroge Kraken, it turns their bodies upside down exposing their underwear, fiddles with their chests with slimy tentacles, and gropes their asses—doing whatever it pleases.
"Ugh! My mistake!"
Perhaps worried about their safety, Inarsha got distracted, and her ankle was grabbed by a tentacle attacking from her blind spot, then other tentacles also aimed at Inarsha. The tentacles invaded inside Inarsha's skirt and groped her ass with lewd movements like a molester in a packed train.
With both hands and feet restrained, Inarsha glares at the Kraken with a sharp gaze.
"Roxanne-san, help everyone! I will save Inarsha-san!"
"Yes!"
I load 【Green Cartridge Grun】 into 【General Purpose Staff Metrics】, pull the trigger to release a wind blade; the vacuum blade tears the white flesh, and the tentacle molesting Inarsha falls into the sea.
Cooperating with Roxanne, we severed the tentacles and freed Inarsha and everyone from restraint.
"Thank you, Norn! Leave the rest to me."
Inarsha lands on the deck, holds the Spiral Blade with both hands, steps back with her right foot, and takes a stance.
【Spiral Blade Piercing All Creation Madril】
The Spiral Blade wrapped a vortex of light around the blade, piercing through the Kraken's mantle and creating a gaping hole in the heart part.
"Inarsha-san! Watch ou...!? "
"Eh!?"
The Kraken, about to meet its end, releases a strike of resentment.
Even just the tip of the tentacle is many times larger than Inarsha, and if even a ship took that blow, it would be shattered like a model.
Inarsha's body, which was in mid-air, was struck with a Bam and blown away. Inarsha definitely didn't let her guard down. After releasing 【Spiral Blade Piercing All Creation Madril】, one becomes defenseless for just an instant.
"""""Inarsha-sama!"""""
—Holy Knight-sama!!
Inarsha dancing in the air. It is clearer than seeing fire that she was launched high and will fall to gravity.
"Roxanne-san! Push me hard!"
"Yes!"
A testament of trust built up... it sounds like commercial copy, but Roxanne responded to what I said without saying anything. I am thrown into the raging sea in the direction Inarsha is.
It could be said I'm carrying Roxanne... no, the expectations of everyone in the Blue Rose Legion.
—If it's Norn, she will surely do something for Inarsha-sama!!
Toward the approaching sea surface, I...
"【Blue Cartridge Blau Full Burst】, Sea Surface Freezing Ice Burn!!"
The sea surface is dyed pure white. With the momentum pushed by Roxanne, I think I was sliding on the ice at a speed comparable to winter Olympic sled competitions.
"Inarshaaaaaa!!"
Rubbing the handle of the half-broken 【General Purpose Staff Metrics】 against the ice to finely correct speed and direction, I rendezvoused at Inarsha's drop point. Praying that my body and the ice hold, I catch Inarsha's body.
Fungu!!
Pressure that makes me think my internal organs were crushed by an impact that felt like both my arms broke. Even though Inarsha isn't heavy, just the added falling speed gives this power.
If it were Nord's body, it would be easy, but catching her unconscious body with Norn's body was a feat of extreme difficulty.
Even so, I wanted to save the hero who defeated the Kraken... no, my friend.
Thanks to sliding, the impact was dispersed, and our bodies didn't sink into the ice, but looking back, cracks had already formed in the ice, and it wouldn't be strange if we sank into the sea at any moment.
"Uuh..."
"Are you awake?"
"Is that Norn? Thank you. For catching me."
"No, don't worry about that."
"If you hadn't saved me, I would have breathed my last at the bottom of the sea by now. You are my lifesaver. No matter how many times I express my gratitude to you, it will never be enough."
Me on the bottom, Inarsha on top, our bodies overlapping. Inarsha softly closed her eyes and brought her beautiful face close to my lips.
"Inarsha-samaaaaa"
Roxanne and the others come rushing after us.
"Ah, that saves me. I didn't think I could move a single step... hahaha."
When I was conveying my thanks to Roxanne who rushed over...
"Inarsha-sama, I am glad you are safe."
"Just a little more..."
Even though Roxanne called out in worry, Inarsha looked somewhat dissatisfied and her cheeks were puffed out.
Inarsha and I were on the sandy beach. With the success of the Kraken subjugation, many sailing ships are traversing the sea. The ram-equipped sailing ship we rode was renamed the Princess Inarsha in honor of Inarsha's achievement.
Gulp... I unintentionally swallow my breath at Inarsha's shameless figure. Inarsha planted a beach parasol in the sand and lay down on a beach chair. In a bikini, she unreservedly exposes that beautiful skin in front of me. It’s a provocative swimsuit as if saying, "I know you're Nord."
Her provocation escalated; moving to a sheet and lying face down, she went as far as to say things like, "Won't you apply sun oil on me?"...
"Me!?"
"Ah, that's right. Because only you and I are here. Since we are both girls, there is no need to hold back. Of course, I intend to apply it on you too, so please rest assured."
"What do you mean you intend to apply it... that makes me feel even less assured!"
While I was bewildered and standing there with folded arms, Inarsha looked at me with a clouded expression like those 'rape eyes,' so I couldn't stand it anymore; I applied oil to my hands and touched her soft skin.
"Ah, that's good..."
Because she let out a sweet voice I'd never normally hear on the first touch, I was surprised and pulled my hand away.
"My apologies, it seems the stimulation was insufficient for you."
Inarsha reached behind her back and undid her bikini strings. Then, her soft breasts, which had been suppressed by the fabric, followed gravity and hung down onto the sheet.
So erotic...
"Ah, just being touched by Norn heals me... Elise is a wonderful Saint, but even she cannot heal my ravaged heart like Norn does..."
You've got to be kidding...
In «Rising Hero» , Inarsha displayed fierce disgust like seeing a snake or scorpion just from the tip of Nord's finger lightly touching her! What on earth is this change?
While I was surprised by Inarsha's reaction, a familiar voice echoed out.
"It's Pantsu-senpai's fault that all my pick-up attempts are failing!"
"That's my line! Because you say things with zero delicacy..."
"I wonder about that. Anyway, since Senpai has free days until the Inquisition, you invited me to the beach, right?"
"What are you saying! You were the one who said you had free time until Duke Wald visits Elon and told me to guide you somewhere. Don't forget that, you birdbrain!"
The voices got closer and closer, and finally, I encountered the owners of the voices.
"Huhhh? Why are Inarsha-chan and Norn-chan together?"
"Hm? What is it, Kain? do you know those dazzling beautiful girls?"
"Of course! After all, they are my girlfriend candidates!"
Kain said something incredibly gross with a smug look on his face, so I wanted to dig a hole in the beach and vomit, even though it would be a violation of manners.
Gogogogogo—————!
I felt a tremendous aura behind me, and when I turned around in concern, Inarsha had snapped.
Inarsha, wearing a rash guard while going commando (no bra), snapped at the unwanted guests, Kain and Hans.
Hans... you were alive, you bastard!?
I was surprised by the unexpected combination of Kain—who possessed the triple threat of being annoying, gross, and terrible—and Hans-paisen, who tried to mount a high horse by acting affected but always fell short. Seeing their swim trunks, I arbitrarily convinced myself that these guys came to pick up girls.
"Wait, Kain. Don't tell me you have the foolish idea of monopolizing two beauties?"
"Pantsu-senpai, it is the providence of the world that strong men have cute girls wait on them! Do you understand?"
(Ah!? I guess that's high-level reverse psychology...)
Since nobody is waiting on Kain, is he using a high-level technique to negatively appeal that he isn't strong?
"Very well. If you go that far, I am a man too. Let us settle this fair and square with our fists."
Starting internal strife before even succeeding in picking up anyone...
"Let's go over there while we can."
"Yeah..."
Taking advantage of the fact that their attention had diverted from us, we began to move.
Leaving the two engaging in a fruitless struggle on the level of the pot calling the kettle black, Inarsha and I hid in a place surrounded by rocks, a familiar setting in erotic works.
Well, we just escaped from those two, so nothing erotic should happen...
"It's unexpected that Norn invited me. I was worried that you hated me. You always dodge me or run away... I want you to understand my feelings a little too."
"Eh?"
Inarsha grabbed the collar of her no-bra rash guard and opened it wide like throwing open curtains first thing in the morning.
Ah...
I regretted acting without thinking of the consequences due to the extreme situation. I performed a 'pie-touch' (grope) to hide Inarsha's breast beans (nipples) from view.
"I see, finally Norn is responding to my feelings. I'm happy."
"Eh, no, it's definitely not like that..."
While I was troubled by Inarsha closing in on me, Kain and Hans raised their voices searching for us.
"Norn-chaaan."
"Inarsha-saaan."
When I looked away from Inarsha out of concern for those two, she sandwiched my temples with her hands and forced me to face forward. Her eyes, so clear they seemed to see through everything, stared straight at me.
"I have been saved by Norn again. You are humble about having no power, but that courage surpasses even the Hero of Accorcen."
Hm? Why bring up Accorcen?
Ah, right, Kain. Because I spread rumors about him, he's somewhat known.
"Norn likes breasts? The fact that you are reaching out like this means you liked them. Soulie teases my breasts as useless meat, but as long as Norn is fine with them, that is all that matters."
Soulie again! Even though she acted like she didn't care, was Inarsha hurt by it...? The insults were probably just jealousy from the flat-chested Soulie, though.
Why have I... been grabbing Inarsha's tits this whole time?
Suddenly realizing this, I tried to let go, but my hand was stuck to Inarsha's boob and wouldn't come off.
"Where did you go—?"
"Won't you play with us—?"
Inarsha seems to be getting irritated that Kain's voice is getting closer to us.
"Persistent men. Why don't they understand that stalking girls makes them hated?"
Kain... You, who should originally be united with Inarsha, to be hated by her to this extent...
I cannot help but shed tears for your pathetic state.
"It can't be helped, let's bury them."
"Hah?"
Inarsha has made up her mind...
Inarsha and I hid in the shadow of the rocks, waiting for Kain and the other guy to approach. Waiting is fine, but Inarsha is excessively close. To use a metaphor, it's like an older office lady from a black company who can barely find time to sleep, falling asleep on a commuter train and leaning not just her shoulder but her neck onto me...
She picked up a piece of wood lying on the rocky area. When Inarsha put power into it, a vortex of light covered the stick.
【Drill】
When Inarsha held the stick over the sandy beach, a large hole opened up, big enough for people to easily fall into.
"Haa, haa, Norn-chan! What's wrong!? I'll join you too—nwah—!?"
"You foooool—! What are you doing!?"
Kain and Hans, lured out completely by their lewd minds, fell right into the pitfall trap.
The two of them had only their heads sticking out; their bodies were completely inside the sand.
"Dragonflies jumping into the fire refers to people like you. You guys, covered in lewd thoughts, should reflect here for a while."
Inarsha spat cold words at the two and turned her heel.
"Let's go, Norn! We'll continue at the inn... Something burst inside me at Norn's moaning voice ♡"
Inarsha!? Aren't you the one showing lewd thoughts!?
Upon returning to the inn from the sandy beach, we took a shower that looked like a waterfall bath to wash off the seawater and sand stuck to our skin. Being alone with Inarsha from now on... no, no, even if there's no risk of pregnancy, having sex between girls is a bit...
And knowing Inarsha, even if I changed rooms, she'd nonchalantly be in the next one.
Whether there's sex or not, thinking about being approached after this makes my crotch area feel tight. Is this a flag that if I don't return to being Nord soon, I won't be able to go back!?
The shower room is partitioned by thin boards for each booth, but while I was washing off the dirt, Inarsha peeked over at me, seemingly curious.
"Inarsha-san! I'll go back to the room first."
"Ah. Norn..."
When I practically flew out of the shower room, Inarsha reached out regretfully. She was so aggressive today that I thought she might have drunk an aphrodisiac, so I ran away thinking it would turn into a serious incident if I stayed.
The room the Port Guild prepared for us for coming to defeat the Kraken was a suite. It didn't quite have a canopy bed, but there was a bed huge enough that five people could sleep side by side in the shape of the river character (川). Before Inarsha returned, I changed into newly purchased pajamas. As expected, the see-through babydoll was too lewd...
There were pajamas that looked a bit more like men's wear, but wearing something meant for men and having her catch on would be bad, so I chose a pink one with polka dots. Putting on a nightcap with a pom-pom decoration, I crawled into the ofutun (futon/bed).
As I feigned sleep, Inarsha returned.
"She's already asleep..."
I feel bad for Inarsha, but raising her affection any higher was something I hesitated to do. But she began to whisper in my ear.
"Norn... I am strange. When Norn talks to other girls, my chest tightens. It's the first time I've felt like this."
And what about Lusitania? By the time I wondered that, Inarsha had smoothly slipped into my ofutun.
"I want you to listen to the throbbing of my chest."
Thinking I was asleep, Inarsha pressed her breasts against my back. Her heartbeat transmitted through the fabric. Thump-thump, it trembled rapidly, faster than my own heartbeat.
"Norn, please. I want you to stay by my side forever. I don't want to be separated from anyone anymore..."
I felt ashamed of myself for thinking it would turn into something erotic.
Inarsha was just lonely.
Maybe her suggestive approach was just to get my attention.
"Inarsha... san?"
When I turned around, the hands hugging me came loose. It seems she had fallen asleep. Tears were pooled in her closed eyelids.
When the morning sparrows chirped (Morning Chun), I almost jumped up, but for some reason, my lower body wouldn't move!
Inarsha was wearing a babydoll last night, but...
She's not wearing it!!
When I hurriedly shook my head left and right, Inarsha's babydoll and panties were fallen on the floor.
"Last night was the best. Your fingers fiddled with my secret petals, and I ended up seeing heaven."
That's a lie!
"I was allowed to taste your breasts and petals as well. Not too big, not too small... When I sucked on them, you cried out with a sweet voice; it was very cute."
"Don't narrate such shameful things!"
I nailed a warning into Inarsha, who started narrating the details of last night's affair with a refreshing smile.
"Right. Let's keep this a secret between the two of us."
"..."
Why do devout Elon believers only interpret things convenient for themselves...
"I don't want you to laugh, but I couldn't sleep unless I hugged a large plushie..."
Right, I remembered! There was a precious CG still where Inarsha slept hugging Lusitania.
I'm happy she trusts me. But I cannot fill her loneliness...
【Soulie's Perspective】
Giriririri! (Grinding teeth)
My Inarsha is being taken away by such a little girl!
When I spoke to the guards protecting the gate, upon seeing my face, they stomped their feet and corrected their posture.
"Soulie Varietta-sama, what is your business today?"
"Sadly, an apostate who blasphemes the Elon religion has appeared in my alma mater, Sanctmaiden. I have come to request that this person be detained."
I headed to the temple where Ellis-sama resides in the center of the Papal Office.
As I am from one of the leading noble families in the Theocracy, I can have an audience with Elon Pope Ellis-sama directly whenever I like. Lineage is important after all, isn't it? The unforgivable barbarism of nonchalantly fitting into the role of Inarsha's Soeur must be corrected. I was shown into the Pope's chamber, and while I waited, a silhouette was visible behind the bamboo blind. It is the High Priestess, Ellis-sama!
I immediately knelt and appealed to Ellis-sama.
"Ellis-sama, I have found an outrageous apostate. It must be a spy sent from the Kingdom of Accorcen."
"My, my, my cute Soulie. You did well to tell me. We must give punishment to such an apostate immediately. So, what is that person's name?"
"Yes, it is Norn Soln."
"As expected of Soulie. A daughter of the Varietta house which has produced many excellent inquisitors, I believe your words."
"Thank you very much, Ellis-sama!"
Even without reading out Norn's crimes, Ellis-sama believed me. After all, lineage is what matters in this world! Fufu, punishment is necessary for apostates!
