"Heh...not bad, Cecilia."
"As expected, using that method..."
Back at the Demon King's castle, the females, seeing my defeated state, asked in surprise what had happened.
Leaving aside the tattered underwear peeking out from the gaps in my armor, my expression seemed completely lost...no, lost was to be expected.
After all, I hadn't even landed a single blow; it was over with a beating!
Ugh, so embarrassing!
Losing to a girl younger than me!
Even though this is a fantasy world with levels and skills, I'm still a special divine beast, and yet I've ended up like this!
When the two demanded a detailed explanation, I tried to recall and explain, but the more I thought about it, the more ashamed I felt that I could only manage that! "...This was definitely intentional, wasn't it?"
"Probably? I thought it was just rudeness. It's quite interesting."
"...Eh? You mean intentional?" After explaining to the two while suppressing her embarrassment, for some reason, the two who had been listening attentively suddenly nodded with expressions of sudden realization.
What do you mean intentional? What do you mean by "quite interesting"?
"I'm afraid Cecilia, that child, deliberately made you choose the sword to tease you, Master, right?"
"In a sparring match, it's impossible to give the other person a dangerous sword."
"Besides, it would be troublesome if you also seriously injured them..."
"More importantly, Master, you're wearing armor and wielding such a large blunt weapon. You're deliberately trying to torture them thoroughly."
"Pretending to tease them, but actually manipulating the situation."
...Only realizing it after listening? The swords lying there, apart from that needle-like rapier, don't seem very suitable for combat.
"Plus, the mutual skill restriction is quite ingenious."
"After restricting skills, what remains is a pure contest of physical strength and skill. In this situation, usually..."
"Those with systematic training naturally have an advantage. It also conserves stamina, allowing for a longer battle."
I see. I thought she was just teasing me, but it turns out there's more to it than meets the eye.
That's true. Even though she's not currently active, level 52 Celestia only lasted an hour before collapsing from exhaustion.
While there's a difference between mages using their brains and swordsmen expending stamina, it's strange that someone with such a large level difference could last twice as long.
"And Master. It's said to be a battle using weapons, but actually, both sides only use weapons, right?"
"Hmm? Uh... right? Cecilia only swung her sword..."
"It seems the use of hands and feet is also restricted."
"Hmm. If it were a hand-to-hand battle, perhaps I could actually suppress Cecilia?"
Wow.
Now that you mention it, it's true.
Why was I so honest as to only use weapons against her?
...No, seeing Cecilia's annoyed expression and the way she was twisting and turning, anyone would do the same. "...Fine. Cecilia. Next time I'll definitely beat you to a pulp...!"
"Wait. Master. Was that really necessary?"
Ah, um? Why bring that up all of a sudden?
"Master. What do you think of Cecilia's appearance?"
"Eh? Hmm...she's pretty good-looking, isn't she?" Cecilia's youthful face, combined with her features, certainly makes her a stunning beauty, the opposite of her personality.
If she were quiet and kept her mouth shut, she could really show off her beauty, looking like a noble lady.
And unlike my females, her slender, well-trained figure gives off a different kind of charm.
...Could it be that Cecilia didn't inherit a full bust because of this kind of training?
Well, she's not completely flat-chested; the apple-sized size is just right...I actually think that's small. Looks like my standards for judging women's figures have changed.
"So, how about making Cecilia a master's female?"
"Hmm... Cecilia..." Cecilia... Neither of them seems to like her very much. I didn't expect to hear this suggestion here.
She's the hero's fiancée, and her mother-daughter dollop with Ceresia is certainly tempting.
It's just that her bad temper makes me hesitate... Hmm, what do you think? My Сock?
...OK, is that it? You say OK to everyone. Alright.
"If she's just an ill-mannered woman, it would indeed be presumptuous for her status, but we've confirmed she's quite intelligent."
"Hmm. She should be useful. And most importantly, she's Ceresia's daughter! How about making both mother and daughter masters' females?"
Hmm... My females are so eager to try, even I'm starting to get itchy.
Cecilia... Not bad. Having such a special female wouldn't be bad. "...Alright. She's the hero's fiancée anyway. Why not try to win her over?"
"Hehe. If Master is satisfied..."
♡
"Since Master has decided, now we should think about how to make Cecilia Master's female."
♡
"Upon hearing my answer, my females began discussing how to corrupt Cecilia, seemingly enjoying this pleasant dilemma.
There wasn't a trace of hesitation in them.
"Ah, but let's take it slow with Cecilia. Focus on dealing with Celestia first."
"Yes, Master.
♡As you command, Master."
♡
"Listening to my females' adorable replies, I was immersed in the pleasant night of intercourse with them.
......
"Hmm...she's not here..." Despite deciding to target Celestia first, she didn't come to find me until my next sparring session with her.
I thought she would immediately send me to the dueling arena. What's going on? Feeling strange, I arrived at the lord's city early today and went to Ceresia's office, but I couldn't find her.
Could she be deliberately distancing herself from me?
"Huh? What? Trash monster. You're here pretty early today? What are you doing here?" Just as I was feeling disappointed and heading towards Ceresia's personal training ground, I heard Ceresia's voice behind me.
Hmm… although disappointed, it's time to move on with Ceresia, right?
"Hello, Miss Eiei. I needed to see Lady Celestia, but she wasn't here. I was just about to head to the training grounds."
"Mother has been saying she has some business to attend to lately and has been staying in her laboratory."
"Laboratory?"
"Yes. It's the laboratory where Mother conducts magical training or research. She's been going in and out frequently lately."
Magical training or research… Oh dear…
"…Shouldn't we avoid disturbing her?"
"It's located within our lord's residential area, and we can't just enter.
To be more precise, once Mother goes in, even if Father and I call, she won't come out…
What's wrong?
Is something the matter?"
"Hmm…Nothing. It's nothing important."
Well, as long as I know she's not deliberately keeping her distance.
Looks like she's preparing for something… Hmm. I should make more thorough preparations too.
Unlike the easily provoked Cecilia, while she could barely hold off Celestia, a high-level Celestia would definitely be far more troublesome than Cecilia if she prepared seriously.
"Hey. You dick thing. Hurry up."
"Oh, please speak more politely. How can a noble lady be called a dick thing?"
"Why do you look like an old relic, you monster?"
"Old...! I, I look like I'm in my early twenties."
"How old are you?"
"29."
"Then you're an old relic. Uncle, you dick thing monster uncle."
♡" I really want to punch this guy.
"But 29 years old...? I heard that divine beasts are monsters who live to be over a hundred years old. Younger than I imagined?"
"Yes. I'm a bit special. That's why my humanoid form is only half-baked."
"Even if you become completely human, you'll still have that awful face."
"Damn...! No, as a noble, that's incredibly rude to an elder...!"
"What kind of elder is a monster? They're just creatures to hand over experience points to."
...Is it really appropriate to take this one as a female?
Liz, Claire.
What do you guys think?
While that slender waist and bouncy buttocks are undeniably alluring, she's just too damn annoying... um... I'll bear with it.
Putting aside her personality, she's a stunning female...
"Heh heh~ I already checked your physical level on the first day. It'll hurt even more today." Upon arriving at the training grounds, Cecilia pulled out the rapier she used yesterday from the rack full of swords.
Sure enough, that rapier was deliberately chosen. And naturally, they decided to spar with weapons.
Today, observing Cecilia's every move closely, I could clearly sense that she wasn't just mindlessly provoking, but guiding others according to her own will.
After swiftly drawing her sword, she grinned at me.
...Honestly, if her personality were a bit more gentle, she'd be perfect... But then again, that awful temper... It'll be corrected slowly.
Anyway, Cecilia's not here now, how about taking this opportunity to begin my first training session?
"Looks like I'll win today. Don't cry if you lose."
"Huh? So arrogant. A mere monster thinks it can beat me?"
"This time, it won't be a matter of judgment like last time. I'll genuinely defeat you. Want to bet?"
"Pfft, hahaha. Pretty confident. You really dare to bet? What are you betting on?"
She's taken the bait. What a naive bitch.
From today onwards, I'm going to slowly correct your despicable nature.
"Hmm... If I lose, I'll be Lady Cecilia's personal vehicle for a month."
"Huh? A vehicle?"
"Yes. I'm incredibly fast in my monster form. It only takes a little over half a day to get to the capital."
"What!? Half a day!?"
"Yes. And I have skills for passengers, so you can ride very comfortably without any bumps."
As expected... just as Lisbeth and Claire predicted, Cecilia's eyes were already sparkling, clearly her mind filled with images of speeding around.
After all, Eisencia's mode of transportation was at best a monster cart, equivalent to a neighborhood bicycle. With her personality, she definitely wouldn't have the chance to go far away.
Hehe... How about it? Itching to go, Cecilia? Thinking about being able to fly around here?
"Quick, transform! Let me see!"
"Transforming will make me naked, so it's not very convenient. If you're curious, you can ask the soldiers who have seen my true form. Or if you win, you can make me your personal mount."
"Ha! Pretty confident! Arrogant!" Of course, confident. I devised a battle plan with my females.
But then again, I don't intend to become your personal mount so easily.
"Also, if I win... please call me by my name properly. Don't call me a scumbag monster or anything like that."
"Name? What's your name?!" Cecilia, that bitch, still hasn't remembered my name!?
"...Shimo. Zheng Shimo."
"That's a pretty cool name... fine. Beating up a scumbag and getting a month's worth of slave monster for free. A great deal."
Huff... huff... hold it in... I need to correct her bad temper. Zheng Shimo.
Teaching her to use her name correctly is just the first step in correcting her personality.
Making too many demands suddenly won't work on this bitch.
Take it slow, train this crazy woman into a female who can't live without me!
"Since we made the bet, are you going to hold back today?"
"Suit yourself. I'll be the winner in the end anyway."
"You scumbag, how dare you be so arrogant! Don't complain when you cry from the pain!"
"That's what I should be saying!" And so began the personality-correction duel to turn Cecilia into my female.
