Chapter 137
「It’s so… quiet today」
I sat in the mansion’s living room, yawning .
It had been pretty uneventful since morning .
I MofuMofu’d Miu; I played with Hikari; I pushed Io down and sexed her before she went to the Guild . [TN: Raw literally said ‘sex/bang’]
I spent my leisure time doing this and that, but, after lunch, it’d become pretty boring .
（Want me to tell you a good way to kill time?）
「What is it?」
（Let me take over your body . I’ll let you live a life that you’ll never tire of）
「As if… idiot!」
（You sure? I’m thinking about letting you experience the Curse Sword’s way of embracing a girl though）
「Is that even a thing?」
（I was doing it to the guys I possessed in the past）
「Heh」
That means she was involved in the act, together with those Kings and Heroes .
I saw an image of those guys vigorously banging women, so I guess they did let her take control at the time .
「By the way, how did you do it? Did things like tentacles come out? Since you’re a Cursed Sword and all」
（I could, but I’m not interested in that kinda thing）
She actually can do it .
（Through the wileder’s “thing”, I can consume the mind of a girl from within . It’s the kind of pleasure that mortals can’t attain by themselves）
「Like this?」
I extended an aura-arm .
It was the technique I used to defeat Kushifos and the possessed soldiers .
（It’s fundamentally similar . You should use that on the girls）
「That’s boring, so no」
Using this to embrace the girls is just boring .
（Kuku . If you wanna move around, why don’t you go play with Nana Kanou?）
「Fumu . Nana, huh」
I looked toward where the barracks of the slave soldiers were .
Lately, she’d been staying over there; we didn’t see each other much .
Let’s go meet her, then .
☆
「Your Excellency!」
As I entered the barracks, I saw the captain of the First Platoon, Niki Seferis .
The moment she saw me, Niki straightened up; it seemed like she was about to salute me .
「Awaiting orders!」
「Is Nana around?」
「Nana-sama is in Neora’s room」
「Neora?」
It was a name that I wasn’t familiar with .
「It’s Neora Komenera, the captain of the Second Platoon . I’ll guide you to the room」
「No, I’ll go by myself . Where’s the room?」
Niki directed me to Neora’s room; the atmosphere around her was different from when we were on the bed .
I stood at the door and knocked .
「Who is it?」
「It’s me」
「”Me”?……ah, Kakeru-sama?」
Following her calm voice was a series of noises on the other side .
Soon, the door opened, and a woman was there .
Neora Komenera, the captain of the Second Platoon . I’d just heard her name earlier, but I knew her face (although, might have heard heard her name before) .
Since she was entrusted the role of a Captain, her sword skills are good .
Her fighting style was different from me and Nana’s, and she didn’t have a lot of strength, but she was the type that would carefully seize the chance to deliver a sharp attack which would defeat her enemy in one strike .
Additionally, her breasts were the among the biggest among the slave soldiers’ .
（You remember that, but not her name……）
Eleanor sounded shocked, but I ignored her .
「What’s the matter, Kakeru-sama?」
「I heard that Nana’s here」
「Welcome . Please come in」
「Yeah」
I entered Neora’s room .
It was a room which belongs to a slave soldier . This room was a part of the building I made after forming the 200 slave corps, and it could be called a one-room apartment on its own .
It wasn’t an important room, but it was pretty popular with the slaves .
I think I was told that it was unbelievable for slaves to have their own rooms .
Inside that room, Nana was sleeping .
She wasn’t in her usual attire, but was wearing thin clothes and sleeping in an unladylike posture .
「She’s sleeping」
（She’s sleeping）
Come to think of it, why is Nana sleeping here?
I looked at Neora, seeking an answer, butーー
「Hn……Neora」
「Good morning, Nana-sama . Well, Kakeru-sama’s looking」
「Ka ke ru sa ma……?」
Nana rose from the bed and absentmindedly looked at me .
The sheets dropped to the floor .
She was wearing that to sleep, so it was really revealing, and she wasn’t wearing any panties .
……”No-pan”, huh . [TN: As a weeb, if you don’t know what no-pan is, 死ね . ]
「ーー!!! KA-KAKERU-SAMA . WHY?!」
Ah, she returned to normal .
「Ne-Ne-Ne-Neora, why is Kakeru-sama here!?」
「It appears that he’s come to visit Nana-sama . For the time being, please, your underwear, Nana-sama」
「My underーーUWAAAH!!」
Nana snatched the pair of panties from Neora and tried to put it on, but……
「Nana-sama, that’s the wrong side . Ah, it’s not upside down, it’s backward」
「L-Like this!」
「This side is the armor」
「No, Nana-sama, please take off that lingerie first」
「Ehh? Ahhhhh!」
Nana had been frantic the whole time .
Neora looked at her and said to me .
「It appears that this will take some time, so would mind waiting outside?」
「……yeah」
I nodded and exited the room .
Even though I closed the door, I could still hear noises coming from the other side .
「That was unexpected . I only saw that much and she’s already a lost cause」
（Come to think of it, isn’t this the first time you’ve ever seen her in private? You’ve only ever seen her holding a sword and being embraced by you）
Eleanor murmured .
That’s probably the case, now that I think about it .
Nana’s private time……I may have become interested .
☆
At the slave soldiers’ training ground .
Under the blue sky, I faced Nana .
「I’m coming!」
Switching from a commander-like posture, she grasped the sword with both hands and rushed toward me .
Gouging the ground with the tip of the sword, she delivered a sharp attack .
I received it head-on with Eleanor . We exchanged blows with our other hands .
With sparks dancing in the air, the sounds of metal colliding came in such quick succession that it rang out like a single sound .
It was a phenomenon that could only be produced during a spar between me and Nana .
「Bring it!」
「Yes!!」
A slash as strong as a storm came flying at me .
The afterimages of her sword encircled me .
I received them one by one .
They were both fast and heavy .
Each of these attacks was enough to crush an ordinary weapon, yet Nana was sending out more than ten of them within seconds .
「You’ve grown stronger again」
「I’m glad」
That moment, Nana’s attack pattern changed .
She switched from the storm-like slashes to a straightforward attack that would be used with a shodachi . [TN: Japanese long sword]
I defended with Eleanor, using the same style, butーー .
Ki Ki Ki Ki Ki Ki Ki Ki Kiーーーーーーー!!
A series of similar sounds rang out, like a broken recording .
The moment I received the attack, I felt more than 20 blows within it .
It appeared to be a single hit, but it was actually a burst combo of more than 10 .
（Kuku, if it was that cheap Cursed Sword then it would’ve broken）
Elearnor murmured, seemingly entertained .
Rather than Kushifos, I was more interested in Nana .
（Seems like you’re really enjoying this）
“Seems”? Well, I think I am enjoying it .
Nana had become one level stronger .
Both her speed and power were considerably improved, but that wasn’t all; she also developed her technique .
It was fun, exchanging blows with Nana like this .
It was very enjoyable .
Going to battle with Eleanor in my hand is the time I have the most fun .
I wondered how far we could push this exchange of attacks .
Panting, Nana looked at her sword .
The blade was chipped all over, because it had repeatedly collided with Eleanor .
It’d become unable to cut; the only way it could be used was smash .
I sheathed Eleanor .
「Looks like this is the end」
「Yes . ……it’s regretful」
「Un?」
「I still couldn’t push Master back」
「Yeah」
She means that, huh .
While fighting Nana, I was paying attention to something .
It was something that wouldn’t go unnoticed .
I was dispersing the impact, making it scatter behind me——a technique of mine .
It’s possible that, during that time, I wash being pushed back by that force .
Despite that, I knew that I stood still while fighting Nana .
Why was I doing that? The reason isn’t particularly important .
（You’re just a show-off, and you wanted to show her your good points, am I wrong?）
Shut up .
（However, she’s really gotten strong . Isn’t she the strongest human woman already?）
She’s that strong?
Eleanor’s the one who said that, so it must be true .
When it comes to battles, this Cursed Sword’s words are mostly trustworthy .
（I still can’t believe she’s the same girl who got so flustered that she put her panties on backwards）
「……PFFT」
Recalling that scene, I accidentally spurt out .
Nana has such a weird “gap” .
