132 Episode 132: "Realignment of one slave with two people was a surprisingly technical task.".txt (1/2)

The inn where we stayed was completely empty.

This village is located in the middle of the port town of Irghafa and the winged town of Sharka, and is often visited by slow caravans. There are usually a few visitors here and there, but right now I heard that all the travelers are concentrating on the port town of Irgafa.

It's because of the soon-to-be adopted children of the lords. It's like an extension of the ”Festival of the Sea Dragons” that took place a while ago, and the town is said to be in a festive mood. I've heard that even the villagers are going there.

...... Come to think of it, I've seen the same thing happen before.

There isn't much entertainment in this world.

Ilgafa is an important trading center, so there are a lot of people involved. Merchants, sailors, and even adventurers pay attention to it.

That's why when we introduced ourselves as ”I'm the person who cleans up Iris the sea dragon priestess's ”resting trip”, carrying her luggage and cleaning up her cottage,” we were strangely welcomed by them. Since the innkeeper allowed us to choose our room freely, we decided to take a corner room and the room next to it.

So the room assignments were two rooms for three people each.

Me, Cutlass, and Fynn.

Cecil, Rita, and Reggie.

It's a complicated combination of two people, two and one, and three after all.

The reason for this is because we had to readjust Cutlass and Fiene's skills after the ”Fast Rebuild Quick Structure”, and I explained that to everyone and got them to agree.

To be more specific...

That's okay. Me and Rita will be asleep soon. We won't hear a thing!

I'm not going to listen to my master and his little boy do all sorts of things!

'Oh!　You may do as you please. I'll enjoy the ride, but what are you going to do?　How can I bind my body with ropes?　Holy shit!　Demon girl and beastman girl. Wah, my journey's fondness for ────!

That's what it was like.

Cecil and Rita, that's good to know. Good luck with that and keep an eye on Reggie.

Well, let's go.

'Yes, sir!　Oh, Arujidono!

I pulled the hand of a nervous-looking Cutlass and stepped into the room I was staying in today.

I'm a bit of a lightweight, but it's nice to meet you!

Cutlass, sitting on the bed, bowed his head with a chop.

He's wearing a plain white nightgown that Iris used to wear. It's a little short, but it's just right for 'readjusting'. The wider the area of contact, the easier it is to feel the magic.

''So, Cutlass, how is your body doing?''

”Huh.

When I called out to him, Cutlass slumped back down, holding his chest for some reason.

'Dude, are you okay?　I knew it would be hard for your skills to get out of control, or something?

No, no, it's all good out there. ......

Cutlass touched the leather collar and looked embarrassed.

'It is a strange feeling to have Arujidono call you out, sir.

Really?

'Ha, yes. It's as if I have finally found ...... a sovereign to serve with all my heart. It's as if a certain someone had slipped into the missing part of me. ......

Okay.

Cutlass has always been looking for someone to serve.

The dream of becoming a knight was instilled in him by his mother, but Cutlass' loyalty and desire to help others is real.

That loyalty is guaranteed by that perverted black knight, Baruar.

By the way, that breastplate ”Balal's Breastplate” is lying by the side of the bed. I didn't find a good bag for it, and it's too dangerous to leave it in the carriage.

But are you sure you want me to be your master?　Cutlass.

What do you mean, Mr. Yuji?

Cutlass, I'm surprised.

She says I'm 'someone worthy of a knight's allegiance', but I don't get it for myself. A lord, a vassal or a knight are completely different from me - in fact, they are the complete opposite.

I don't mind being Cutlass's ”master” and becoming his ”place”.

But a master is ...... honestly, I don't know what a master is.

I love ...... that aspect of Arujidono. But ...... you think too hard, don't you?

Then Cutlass shook my hand.

I want you to hear this. There's a story in a book I read a long time ago.

Cutlass, sitting beside me, pulls me closer to her shoulder.

She closes her eyes and continues to speak, as if she were singing...

'A lord who claims he is working for his people is a third-rate lord. A second-rate lord is one who serves his people in silence. And a first-class lord makes his people and subjects happy without making them feel that he is doing anything. That's why you are a first-rate lord, at least to me, a first-rate lord.

With that, Cutlass guided my hand to my chest, which was wrapped in a thin loungewear.

I'm so warm here.

Her breasts are solid, with little to no ups and downs.

But my heart is beating so fast, so hot, so soft.

Ever since I became Arujidono's, I've been feeling nothing but happiness. That is why I want to receive Arujido not only in my heart, but also in my body.

Thanks, Cutlass.

...... That's bad. I was feeling oddly vulnerable.

I don't care if she's a royal princess or has the power to control ancient artifacts, even though Cutlass is Cutlass.

Cutlass is a loyal and motivated girl who longs to be a knight, a loyal and motivated girl, and a respected companion.

As that master, I'm going to take her 'blood' and the Fynn inside her in its entirety - but I guess I was a little too focused on the 'blood' in her.

''Then I'll start the 'readjustment'.

I focused my attention on the hand that touched Cutlass.

The loungewear of the Ilgafa lord's family is as thin as it is comfortable to wear. Just by touching it lightly, I can feel my heartbeat and body heat. I explore the inside of the cutlass with my fingertips in order to feel the flow of magical power behind it.

'............ Arujido.'

Anxiety?

It's not: ...... I'm glad I'm a girl.

Then Cutlass laughed.

I'm happy to be able to accept a certain way of life. I'm a novice in this business, but I'm so happy to know that ...... is the one who gave me my first time, that I almost cry... ...

............ I see. I thought Cutlass wasn't just the first to 'readjust': ......

Cutlass is the first time he's been in contact with someone as a 'girl'.

I don't want to burden her with .......

I close my eyes. I focus on the sensations at my fingertips. I take a deep breath and search for a place where Cutlass is comfortable with me. The angle. Position. Depth. Try to make it as easy as possible on him.

I've found it.

We're going to find the spot where we can connect with the rest of the cutlass. In the middle of his chest.

Where I feel it push back a little bit. I crawl my palm there.

'Disclose Cutlass and Fynn's skills.'

It calls up two skills in the skill structure window, but...

One of the skills in the target cannot be displayed because of the absence of slaves.

I get an error.

...... I knew I couldn't show you Fynn's skills.

Cutlass and Fynn use different skills for each other.

And the 'Artifact Ruler' is a skill that only Fynn can use. Apparently, it can't be disclosed when Cutlass is out in the open. There were two of them present at the same time during the day, but that was really an irregularity, and Cutlass and the others can't control it, apparently.

It couldn't be helped. Let's calm down Cutlass' skills first.

''I instruct you to disclose your skills again. Display the concept of my slave Cutlass's 'Gou, Interruption Firing Shield 《Cancelling Shield Charge》'.

”............ huh?

Cutlass deflected his white throat and exhaled.

'............ this is the woman's feeling ......'

Yeah.

I can clearly see that Cutlass is a girl.

I can't help but wonder how I ever thought it was a boy. His slightly glazed eyes are a beautiful color, his eyelashes are long, and every part of him that touches me is soft. They're thin and hot, and I'm afraid they'll break if I put a little pressure on them.

I hope that ...... cutlass will like the feeling.

I might have to 'rebuild' the skill again.

I check the status of ”Gou-Inflicted Shield” while touching Cutlass.

”Gou - Interruption Shield [Canceling Shield Charge] Lv 1”.

The skill to blow away enemy enemies and their actions with a shield and body hit.

...... It hasn't destabilized much yet.

This will allow me to 'readjust' soon.

'How's Cutlass' body doing?

...... is, yes. There is only a little ...... ickle where a certain someone is touching .......

Cutlass is lightly cringing, but his consciousness is clear.

Cutlass and I are connected to each other by the magical thread.

There are two threads, one for Cutlass and one for Fynn. One for Cutlass and one for Fynn.

We need to stabilize Cutlass' skills first. Then we'll have Fynn take over and recalibrate. That's what I'll do.

Then we'll start. Cutlass.

'Yes, yes ......'

Cutlass looks shyly to the side and chews on his little finger.

”Calling out ...... is a good ...... and there's ....... ......

Cutlass's body is small and bounces as she presses down on the 'shield and body hit' with the belly of her fingers.

She's leaning against the wall of the inn, squirming and rubbing her knees together.

'............ Ah. I'm ...... hot in my tummy and I'm ...... there is ...... it.

Zzzz.

Cutlass is sadly rubbing his back against the wall.

The other side of the wall is outside, so no one can hear you even if you get a little out of control. That's why I chose the corner room.

'Do you want to take it a little slower?'

It's okay to have ....... I'm ...... touched by ....... ......

With two fingers, pinch the 'enemy' and the 'action' between them.

Gently shaking them, I hold them open and closed.

'............ hmmm. Ah, the abyss ............ numbness ...... boku ......... ...There's ...... from ...... that's numb at ......... ...Ahh.

Each time he suppresses the notion of moving away, Cutlass lets out a hot breath.

The little knee closes and opens. Open. Close.

Rubbing our knees together seems to soothe us, and before I know it, Cutlass has both legs pressed against mine. I rub, tease, freak out ...... and repeat the process.

When I press the concept with my finger, Cutlass's back jolts.

”............ me ............ this is... ...I didn't know and there is ...... ......

Embarrassed, Cutlass is a little teary as he turns his head to the side.

''I feel ...... such a fullness when I accept the ............ impossibility of it. Do you have ...... to become ......? ............ glad to be ...... ...... ah ...... ah.

You okay?　Isn't it too tight?　Cutlass.

There's ...... and it's there.

Cutlass exhaled in little gasps of air...

Finally, he looked straight at me, as if he was ready for it.

Even though I had just started, my forehead and neck were drenched in sweat. Still, Cutlass puts his arms around my back and never leaves me, like he's embracing my magic head on.

............ When you do this, you'll find that ...... all of them are ...... I'm a girl! Because ...... will tell you that ...... is ......, so please continue to ...... Yes, there is ...... and I like ......

Let me know when you reach your limit. I'll add to it.

What do you mean by ......?

Cutlass turned bright red and sniffed with a huff and a puff.

'A knight is all that is acceptable to his lord ...... as long as it is not against the reasonableness of the thing.'
