Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Hāremu ken

Chapter 33

Chapter 33 – Before the tea gets cold

Morning .

Nana entered the dining room while we were having a breakfast . She looked really smart, complete with her long tip longsword and white armor .

“Are you okay? Stand up . ”

“I am okay . ”

No matter how you look at her, her knees were trembling, and yet she still acted as if she’s okay . What an admirable will-power .

“I see . Well, when you are really feeling unwell you shouldn’t force yourself and get some rest . Because whenever you’re looking fine I felt like assaulting you so you need to say it properly if you really cannot do it anymore, it saves a lot of trouble for me too . ”

“Tha-thank you for your consideration . ” Nana trembled just a little bit .

Just like that, she stood up a little bit slanted to my side from behind . She straightened up her back with one of her hands touching the patterned long point of her sword .

She acted just like a guard .

“You, have a seat, too . ”

“But-”

“Inside this mansion, you are my woman . It is one of your duties to have a seat and have your meal with me . ”

“Well then…”

When I emphasis that it is one of her roles, she sat down without any qualms . As I thought, ‘Taking that into consideration, she really is acting like a guard . She’s quite a one-track-mind kind of woman . But that’s cute too . ’

I had my breakfast with Nana while Miu was serving the table . As there was nothing to talk about, we just ate our breakfast silently .

“Good morning . ”

This time, it was Delphina who came . She too, was wearing smartly as she gave off the aura of a wealthy merchant .

“Good morning . I am sorry for yesterday . ”

“That surprised me . We had come to welcome you back, only to see that there was a woman being pushed down, supposedly being linked to you . I was actually wondering what was happening . ”

“At that time we were having our fourth round . ”

“How many rounds did you last afterward?”

“Eight?” I looked at Nana, as if I’m trying to make sure by asking her .

Nana kept silent, while blushing, her face completely red . It was too embarrassing for her that she couldn’t possibly answer it . She confirmed it with her silence .

“You really did it . To think you could last that many rounds while handling his lust alone . ”

“You… too?”

“Yes . Sorry I was late introducing myself . My name is Delphina Homerus Ramanri . ”

“I am Nana Kano… Delphina…… don’t tell me you’re that Delphina!?”

“Yes . I am that Delphina, the person people would come to for sponsorship when they are looking for funds . ”

“… . . ” Nana looked at me with an utterly shocked look .

Conversely, I am quite interested in what they were talking about .

“What do you mean by sponsorship?”

“Rebel army… Ahh, I only call them as such . The girls went looking for me and asked for funding . Of course, by the small chance that they have succeeded I shall be rewarded handsomely in a lot of ways . ”

“So, you are funding them?”

“By no means . ” Delphina laughed . “The rebellion got Royal Highness Helena deeply involved this time . Which means the side that Yuuki-sama will stand out for is plain for the eyes to see . Putting your bet on the losing side is the same as wasting money . ”

“I was quite agitated when I heard that our request was refused but… . Now I know why . ” Nana said as she looked at me .

“If you know the principal that you go by, it’s very easy to make a judgement . Conversely, if it’s her Royal Highness Helena… . No, if Mercury Kingdom asked me to loan them money, I think that I would consider it . ” Delphina said while looking at me meaningfully .

“What should I do then…” I asked directly .

“Yuuki-sama should form his own unit… and act as a revolt suppression . ” Delphina said with a smile like a blooming flower (I learned this only latter but that is the sort of face that Delphina had when she’s reaping profit) .

***

Outskirt of Euboi .

I brought along Miu, Nana, and Delphina . With a collective army of 300 men, we set out to subjugate the 1500 rebel army .

Even though the rebel army was looking at us from afar, it was easy enough to tell that they were quite shaken .

“It seems like advising for them to surrender under your name seems to be of no effect . ”

Nana who was next to me said, “I am sorry that I am of no help . ”

“It’s fine, since the beginning, I would have never thought that they would surrender just because we advised them to . Most of the soldiers on their side are the private army of some powerful family . People who left their family back at home to come here . ” – Helena

“So you did it just to make their will to fight falter?” Delphina asked .

“Correct . ” – Helena

“I see, I understand . Then how about the 300 people over here?” – Delphina

“It would be best if you thought of them as mercenary that I hired to act as soldiers . ” – Delphina

“What is that for? Doesn’t Euboi have about 500 soldiers?” – Kakeru

“They can be used to help us in suppressing the rebellion, and we won’t be lending their powers to Euboi . They only move within our interest to suppress the rebellion . ” – Delphina

“I see . ” I am convinced with that reasoning . “So, is it okay if we just exterminate them?”

“How do you think it is going to go?” Delphina asked for Nana opinion .

“What you can see over there is the flag of Aeolus . Aeolus is the main force in the rebel army . After we beat them, only small forces will be left . ” – Nana

“Is Aeolus somewhere under the flags?”

“Yes . ”

“I want to ask, what would happen if I cut down their leader? Would they face annihilation? Or would there not be much of an impact?”

I have yet to fully grasp the common sense in this world, which is why I asked . I wonder if they follow the pattern like those armies back in the Warring States period, where once the leader has fallen, so too does the troops morale (Like Yoshimoto Imagawa), or do they follow the pattern where the morale isn’t much affected by their leader’s downfall .

“Once Aeolus had fallen; they would be facing annihilation mere minutes . ”

“I see . ” Now, then, I should probably cut down that man first .

“Master, I have made you some tea . ”

I took the tea that Miu had made and took a taste of it .

“Hot!” The tea was so hot it was enough to burn my tongue .

TLN: what happened to the 777x thingy?”

“I am sorry . Because we are outside of the mansion, the tea was not the same . ”

“Ah, it’s okay . ”

I bring the tea with me and hold onto Eleanor .

“I will be going out for a while . ” I said and warp along with the girls who had a strange look on their face .

The place that I warped to was under the flag of Aeolus, in the midst of the enemy line .

“Who are you bastard!” the soldier who found me suddenly yelled out . I looked at my surrounding . There I saw a middle-age man with a splendid beard and a brand new armor .

“You’re Aeolus?”

“Certainly . I am Aeolus, and who are you?”

“Yuuki Kakeru . You would probably know me better if I say, ‘The Wielder of The Cursed Sword’ . ”

“So you are the bastard mastermind who cheated against Nana, huh? Just about time, you shall fall to my hand today—- . ”

“Your self-virtue is so long…”

Flash!

Eleanor was like a scythe as I separated Aeolus head from his body . As it happened in a blink of an eye, the soldiers around could not react fast enough to it . I picked up Aeolus head and then warped back to Nana .

“I’m back, did I get the right person?”

I showed the head to Nana .

TLN: SAVAGE !

“Yes, without a doubt, that is Aeolus . ”

Nana nodded, with no sign of fear .

“It’s good, then . ” I handed the head over to one of the soldier, and then grab my tea . The tea that was too hot before, was now around the right temperature .

“Nana, is it okay if I leave the remaining to you?”

“Haa…”

“Well, then, I’ll leave it to you . ”

As I finished saying so, Nana commands the 300 people army to assault the rebellion army .

The rebel army, that had fallen into chaos when Aeolus died, was pushed back easily, as their figures being kicked around could be seen . There I was, sipping on my tea while enjoying my mofu-mofu time with Miu .
