Chapter 81


CHAPTER 81 – JUST A GOOD WOMAN



In the outskirts of Roizen, in the open grasslands .


The two hundred slave soldiers were challenging me .


With “Warrior’s Eyes” that can only be wielded by people who have experienced many battles, they grouped and attacked me .


I fought back using Eleanor . Hikari was still hanging on my waist .


『They have become quite useful now』


「I think so too, if it’s like this, I can take them to battlefields」


While chatting with Eleanor, I counterattacked with the thought of training them .


It’s a mock battle after all, so I fought while holding back to not let them get severe injuries .


「Retreat once!」


When one of the slave soldiers shouted that, all of them started to fall back .


「Ohh」


I was slightly moved .


Their formation while falling back was surprisingly orderly .


『They’re quite trained』


「I think so too」


『You want to do a pursuit attack? It’s also interesting how their rear guard fairs』


“Alright”ーーwhen I nodded like that, I felt a pressure from the side .


I held Eleanor and stopped the one who was closing in .


*Kakiーn!*, the sharp sword sounds echoes .


It was the appearance of a woman holding a large sword .


「Agnes huh」


「The only one who can call me that is Nee-san」


Showing an angry expression, Agnes pushes me to a sword lock .


Looking over her shoulder, there was Io and the clerical clothed woman, Julia .


Io’s party, an orthodox party of a swordsman, magician, and priest .


After the slave soldiers, the three challenged me .


「UUOOOOOO!!」


「Just brute strength?」


「ーー!! There’s no way right!」


Agnes reddened her face .


She shifted her blade, and this time, she slashed horizontally using the centrifugal force with the large swords .


The sound of the swords clashing, and an impact greater than earlier .


It was an impact that made Eleanor slightly shake .


「You’re good」


「Don’t look down on me!」


Agnes slashed consecutively . Behind her, Julia supported her, and Io started to cast her spell .


Io’s party’s standard strategy . While Agnes was blocking the enemy, Julia heightens her magic powers to support, and Io would deal the finishing blow .


It’s a good orthodox strategy, I can easily imagine its high results .


And furthermore, that’s not all, while chanting, Io’s eyes were shining .


“She’s aiming for something”, I thought . Thinking of her intention, I started to look forward to it .


The sounds of the swords clashing continued, I waited for that . And finally .


「Agnes!」


Julia shouted . Agnes who was fighting me used the recoil of exchanging swords to greatly fall back .


And with almost no pauseーーIo’s magic flew .


The lightning magic fell from the sky, a hundred lightning strikes fell consecutively .


Io’s great magic, her finishing magic .


I held Eleanor, and endured it .


I couldn’t escape with no damage, but the damage isn’t that much .


It’s damage that I could endure knowing that it would come .


The one hundred strikes fell, and my smoke raised from my body .


Well then, what’s next after this magicーー .


「Onee-sama! Now!」


「Yes! Kakeru-san! Here I come!」


Julia’s body shined, and that light goes to Io .


Soon after, Io released a magic .


「Guu!」


I felt it to the core of my body . The pain, heat, and numbness ran through me .


The consecutive blows came, a hundred lightning strikes, it’s the second one!


I didn’t think that the great magic that requires a long chant would come consecutively, so the magic hits my body without me being on guard .


The damage came to my body directly .


「We did it, we really did it . As expected of Nee-san」


「That’s the price of underestimating Onee-sama」


Agnes and Julia celebrated .


「Fuu〜……」


I let out the breath I held in my lungs .


Even if it’s me, I still received quite some damage .


「Bluffing isn’t good for you, you know, receiving Nee-san’s Lightning Hundredーー」


「That’s right, the two of them directly hit, soーー」


I sprinted off, kicking the ground .


First, I closed in to Agnes, I grabbed her who wasn’t able to even react, and threw her towards Julia .


The two of them were blown away together .


This time, I closed in to Io . I placed Eleanor’s edge to her throat, and make a formal checkmate .


「As expected of Kakeru-san」


Io laughed wryly .


「It was quite effective」


「I thought that I had a chance though」


「If it’s anyone other than me, you would have a lot」


「Then, how about this?」


「Whatーーku!」


I was shot by magic from the side . The magic hits me off guard .


I mean, it’s magic?! Who is it!


I held Eleanor and looked to the side, and in there, there was the ghost maid pair, Tania and Peggy .


The two who were floating in the air released their magic one next to the other .


I blocked them using Eleanor, and slashed .


And while I was doing that, Agnes recovered, and slashes to me with her large sword .


And furthermore, as if they were waiting just for that, the 200 slave soldiers joined the fray .


Slave soldiers, Io’s party, maid ghosts .


They all attacked me at once .


「This is great, it’s starting to get fun . Hikari」


『Un!』


I drew Hikari answering, and dual wield with Eleanor .


I clad myself with the dark aura coming out from the Demon Sword .


It’s fun .


Io’s party, the ghosts’ magic, the slave soldiers’ attacks .


It’s fun fighting against them .


I got a little serious .


I broke through Agnes’ guard and stopped Io’s incantation, trampled the slave soldiers, and erased the ghosts’ magic using the Demon Sword’s aura .


I fought them with Eleanor and Hikari .


All of them were defeated, and when the attacks finally calmed downーーthat flew .


「You finally came」


I grinned, and countered with Eleanor .


The sharp sword sound was deafening .


Two blows with one slash .


The one who closed in was Nana who was clad in a platinum armor .


「I guessed you’d come」


「I will attack will all of my strength」


Nana who gained the new powers of 100% additional attack .


From how the events progressed, I guessed that she’d come .


The Demon Sword and her long sword clashes . Both of them had additional attacks, and double the times of the clashing swords, the sword sounds echoes through .


The slave soldiers, Io’s party, and maid ghosts .


All of them were watching from the side .


「You’re strong, Nana . You’d gotten stronger than before」


「I trained for the sake of Aruji!」


「Come more」


「Fu!」


Flashes full of her willーーthree consecutive slash .


Three lights appeared in front of me, and the six blows numbed my hand that holds Eleanor .


「Haaaaaa!!」


And after that, I started to lose leeway to think, this time, six consecutive attacks followed .


Twelve bows, I couldn’t help but use Hikari to parry .


「You’re good」


「Gratitude!」


「How about this!」


I got a little serious, I thought that if it’s Nana .


I clashed with the six consecutive slashes that came by using Eleanor to attack with the same speed, and slashed using Hikari .


*Zaku!*


The small Demon Sword touched Nana’s skinーーbut there wasn’t any reaction .


I was sure that I cut her, but there was no reaction at all . What does thisーー .


「ーーMelissa!」


I couldn’t help to let out a voice . Behind Nana, I saw there the appearance of the Immortal Saintess .


Melissa was in a pose of praying with her hands together, and there was blood spurting out from her body, the same place where Nana was cut .


This is unexpected, this is completely unexpected .


I couldn’t expect at all that Nana and Melissa would join forces .


It was too unexpected thatーー


「Haha」


I laughed out .


I kicked the ground and jumped back .


I looked at the women in front of me .


Nana .


Melissa .


Io and her party .


Maid ghosts .


Slave soldiers .


The women’s eyes were shining all the same .


They were eyes that were aiming for something, after all this .


This battle, it was a fight to measure their strengthーーand they have eyes that show that they are seriously thinking of defeating me .


「Haha」


I laughed again, it’s so fun I can’t help myself .


『Otou-san, he looks happy』


『Men are idiots after all . They’d be like that with good women in front of them』


『Onee-chans, all of them are good women?』


『Hmph . You can tell just looking at this guy’s attitude right?』


Eleanor and Hikari chatted inside my head .


I completely agree .


「All of you are good women」


I charged towards Nana who was in the spearhead, and towards the women .


Holding back, I’m done with that .


I wanted to know, how good women they are .



I returned advanced to the mansion .


It was a fierce battle, and I really feel fierce as well .


The density of the battle was completely different; this heightened feeling exceeds what I felt at the time when I defeated the Red Dragon .


And with that heightened feelings, I came to Althea’s room .


「Althea」


「What is it?」


I reached out my hand .


With just that, Althea understood .


She took out her hand from her cloak, and held my hand .


All of the vigor from my body felt like it was being absorbed . The wrinkly hand became rejuvenated .


Great Sage Althea . A woman who becomes youthful with a thousand people’s vigor, or the vigor by myself .


And finally, she stopped absorbing the vigor, and showed her face .


I was surprised .


「Althea?」


「What is it」


「That appearance」


The Althea in front of me is very beautiful .


When I first met her, I thought of her as a matchless beauty .


But the Althea right in front of me was more than that .


She was more beautiful than the time I thought of her as a matchless beauty .


「……this is my prime」


「Prime?」


「Yes . I have become rejuvenated up until now, but it was 80% of my prime . The amount of vigor was enough, but the quality wasn’t so it was only up to 80%」


「The quality was enough now, that’s what you’re saying」


「Yes……what happened?」


Althea stared at me, and asked .


「There were good women」


「Is that so」


With only that, Althea had a convinced expression .


「And so」


She said that, and stared at me furthermore .


Her eyes were asking what was next .


I wanted Althea .


Up until now, I was only giving her vigor to become rejuvenated, but I couldn’t feel anything anymore after that .


My vigor was completely sucked away .


But, right nowーーI still can do it .


I carried Althea to an embrace .


I took her from the room while carrying her like a princess, and went to my room .


I placed her on top of the bed, and stared straight at her .


「Althea . Tell me your name . I only know you as Althea」


I wanted to know the name of the woman that I was going to make as mine .


「I am Althea, just Althea」


「Althea……」


「I am “just” Althea」


Staring at her for a while, I said .


「No, up until now, you were the Great Sage Althea . But here, from now on」


I stared straight at her eyes, and kissed her .


「I will, make you just Althea」


「Un……」


She nodded, and Althea slowly closed her eyes .


Today is full of surprises, up to the end, I was surprised .


Althea, it was the first time .
