116 - - Chapter 116 Rico Achieves A Complete Game
I am sitting in a room in a building next to the north gate of the capital, enjoying the aroma. This was originally the barracks of the Royal Army, and the building itself is still intact and in relatively clean condition.
"Linos, would you like to have a taste?"
Rico brings me a freshly made curry. I tried it and found it to be delicious.
"It\'s good. That\'s what I\'d expect from Peris. This will open a restaurant. Rico, try it. Mmm..."
"...really. It\'s delicious.
Excuse me for interrupting.
"Ah, Knogen. Thank you for your hard work. Well, come in.
The Knogens arrived with six prisoners of war who appeared to be Lamarons. All of them had their hands tied in front of them. Rishima, who had met them on the way, also entered the room with Reilik. He was still naked and tied behind his back. The situation was quite chaotic, but as expected, Riko did not raise an eyebrow.
"You\'re as hot as ever, aren\'t you?"
"Aren\'t you jealous?"
"Ha ha ha, I\'m envious."
"Something smells delicious."
"I\'m making curry for the evening cookout. I just tried it. It\'s delicious. Eat it, you must be hungry.
He asks Rico to bring enough curry for everyone, including the POWs. Then, after watching her exit, I open my mouth.
This is Bertham Darke Linos of the Heedata Empire. I know you\'ve got that full dick, but are the other six from Ramallon?"
"..."
They all turned their heads and gave no answer. I look to Knogen.
"They were coming down the river on a raft. One of them was dressed in jet-black armor, so there is no doubt about it.
He looks around at the prisoners, but does not see anyone in armor.
"When we captured them, we took off their armor, but we didn\'t feel comfortable leaving it on..."
Kunogen speaks with a troubled expression on his face, scratching his cheek. He then turns his attention to the blonde sitting in the front row. For some reason, he is the only one wrapped in a cloth. I look at Knogen again.
She is a woman.
"A woman?"
"Yes, I thought he was a man, but when I took off his armor and stripped him naked, he didn\'t have anything on him."
"What, a man with no balls was the commander of this cruel and inhumane army?"
"..."
"I presume you are the commander of Lamaron\'s army. May I ask your name?"
He still gave no answer.
"Well, it\'s no use. I\'ll just ask my body.
I try to invoke my "Appraisal" skill.
"...as you wish."
"Yeah? What?"
"You\'re going to use me as a toy. I hope you enjoy it. You will all torture me. Torture me. You will lick my body with your filthy tongues, you will f*ck me hole by hole with your devils. I am prepared for that since you know I am a woman. You will enjoy my body to the fullest.
"...What are you talking about? A hole called hole? What are you talking about?"
That\'s... that\'s... that\'s my... that\'s... that\'s...
What are you blushing for? Are you okay, buddy?
I think you have made a terrible mistake. Just then, Rico came into the room.
"I brought you some curry."
"Oh, thank you. Let\'s talk while we eat, shall we?
The Knogens immediately started eating the delicious food, but the women POWs did not touch it at all, even though they were untied from their ropes. By the way, there is no curry for the full-chinned man. Since he has no intention to untie him, he gave the rest to Riko.
In the meantime, the woman spoke in a stout and quite firm voice.
"I know the name Bertherm of the Heedata Empire. He seems to be a scoundrel, as rumored to be a traitor who has seduced the emperor\'s sister and tries to manipulate the empire at his will!
"Well, I didn\'t know there was such a rumor. I\'ve got Rico in my sights."
I look at Rico.
"You\'re a real piece of work, aren\'t you?"
Rico shakes his head in disgust.
"I became Rinos\' wife because I wanted to."
"No way... it\'s you."
"Yes. I am Heedata Shua Ricolet, sister of the Emperor of the Heedata Empire.
"...most likely, he\'s been boned by that face of Vasam\'s. Flirting in public... what a b*tc*!
"Yes, you\'re right, I\'m a bad wife who loves her husband too much.
Rico replies by putting his hand on his chest and giving a pretty smile. She keeps that smile on her face,
"This is not where I fell in love with my husband."
Rico points his finger to his cheek and taps his chest.
"This is where I fell in love with you."
The woman stares at Rico with a bitter look on her face.
Watching Riko\'s perfect game, I activate my appraisal skill.
"Whoa. You are the daughter of the Emperor of Ramallon! You were a concubine...? You have no claim to the throne. Swords since childhood...? As a man? Huh? ... What\'s that? Bwahahaha! That\'s impossible! Are you stupid? Oh, a full-fledged dickhead as chief of staff. A shitty chief of staff. I see. Cruel. How dare you...
My head throbbed as I saw various gruesome scenes. I take a breath and start talking again.
"I\'m going to talk about you now, but I don\'t think you have ... anything to say for yourself. If I\'m wrong, tell me."
The woman and the other captives are completely frozen.
"Your name is Ramalon Matkal, 23 years old, female. You are 23 years old, female, and the daughter of the current emperor, Lamarron Crow Freyns. Because of your mother\'s low status, you were not raised in the court, but by your father, the full-figured Beau Leiric there. ...And her mother became a concubine of the full-figured father? Well, that\'s okay. My father was a general in the army, so I wanted to be a soldier myself. But a woman can\'t be a soldier. So I learned swordsmanship as a man and trained to be a soldier. Well, he was a hard worker, and he had a military background. After he grew up, he married a woman once, but she ran away from him soon after because he didn\'t get a cut. He almost became a target of ridicule in the army, but he succeeded in saving his life by killing all the insurgents and putting them down. Incidentally, it was the full-figured guy who suggested killing them all. And after that, he succeeded in defeating demons one after another...and conquering dragons? His achievements earned him a commanding position in the army. He was entrusted with the invasion of the kingdom of Juka. He decided to kill all the people of Jukha by adopting the stupid strategy of the full-figured maniac. And the result is this... What do you think?"
Matkal\'s and Fulchin\'s eyes widen and their pupils dilate. I don\'t care about them, but I activate my appraisal skill on the other POWs as well.
"And... the others... two warders. Both women. You\'re pretty good, Monoshi. I see... So you warding Matkal and the others as soon as your own body was paralyzed. That\'s how you managed to escape. And the rest... a sorcerer of recovery magic. One man and a woman. You guys aren\'t doing your job. You should be thanking Monoshi. Otherwise, you would not be alive."
And while we\'re at it, let\'s activate our appraisal skills on the full-chinned guy.
"...I knew it, but you\'re even more of a scumbag than I thought, you know. Don\'t you know anything other than forcing women into your hands? There\'s no serious love in this world. ...I see...it was your orders to kidnap the women of the kingdom and take them in handcuffs... And you let Matkal watch you do it. Don\'t show your disgusting play to a girl who\'s still in bed! You\'re so... Oh, God, that\'s terrible. I can\'t stand to watch this."
The contents are so shocking that I can\'t look at them directly and terminate my appraisal skills without thinking.
"You\'re a real a**h*le, you know that? If you\'re the commander, why don\'t you stop him from running amok?
"...you need women on the battlefield. This is ... a matter of course.
"Matkal. You\'re a woman... so if you can\'t stand the full-fat bastard... why don\'t you let him have his way with you?
"Nah! Nonsense! Me and Leirik are like brothers. That\'s impossible! There\'s no way in hell I\'d ever be with Leyrick! With Leyrick! Disgusting! It\'s creepy!
Don\'t go that far. The full-figured guy\'s depressed as hell.
"I\'m sorry, Rayrick. But don\'t worry. First loves usually don\'t come true. And I don\'t think women like men who get naked in public. You\'ve got to be kidding me, you\'ve got to show me something so crude! Don\'t you have any shame, you?"
The full-figured guy is staring at me with terrible eyes. The kunogens are struggling to contain their laughter. Matkal shivers and struggles to keep his voice down.
"Why do you think so much of us...? I knew it was you, the great demon king..."
"You are indeed the commander of the Ramallon Empire."
I grin.
"That\'s right. I\'m the Demon Lord."
