Chapter 64: The Villainous Aristocrat Heads to the Holy Theocracy

"I'm going to grab that bald demon's head real quick♪"

"Don't say it like you're just going to the convenience store."

Currently, I'm on a carriage heading to the holy city of the Holy Theocracy with a guard unit consisting of several dozen people.

The carriage is a large one that can accommodate around ten people inside. It seems to be a kind of magical tool used for escorting important individuals in the theocracy.

While it looks like a regular carriage from the outside, the inside is quite spacious and comfortable.

It seems Reldo designed and bestowed this carriage as part of a request from the theocracy, and his quirks are evident throughout. 

After a quick analysis, I was surprised to find that it's imbued with a form of spatial magic.

Spatial magic is a bloodline magic lost many years ago. 

The head of a family inheriting bloodline magic died in an unfortunate accident without passing down the knowledge to anyone.

"Hmm, no good. I still can't analyze it."

In the imperial capital, I managed to analyze and replicate the puppet magic of the bald demon, Lynette, using transcription bestowment.

However, I still have no clue.

Whether it's because of spatial magic or bloodline magic, I don't know, but the truth is, it's a bit frustrating.

It would have been quite handy if I could use spatial magic...

"By the way, Kunou-chi. Was it good that I came too?"

"Huh? Oh, well, yeah. Iori sold me a lot of chili peppers."

"It's for Kunou-chi♪ I didn't really need the money."

"No, that would be too much."

Clustered chili pepper extract turned out to be an impressive weapon, even if I say so myself.

I'm thinking of making improved chili pepper slime bullets based on the slime bullets as my main armament from now on.

They cause just a bit of temporary blindness if they hit the eyes, which is far better than taking lives.

"Oh, but Kunou-chi, I wanted to ask something."

"What is it?"

"Aren't there too many people in our group?"

"...Yeah, maybe there are?"

There's quite a number of people inside the carriage.

I glance at the people playing shogi inside the carriage.

"Uh, um, Hagane-kun. It's check."

"Grrr, Ayano, you're too strong."

"It's unexpectedly scary."

"Neh heh heh, so, next, Wendy-tan, do you want to play? I'll, um, guide you every step of the way... hehehe."

"I'll pass."

"Wendy, it's not okay to look at Ayano-san with eyes that seem to see her as trash..."

"I-It's fine, Felsy-san!! Being looked at with eyes that see me as trash by my crush is a reward!! Right, Katia-san!!"

"...I don't understand."

Ayano, Hagane, Wendy, Felsy, and Katia, who were all aboard the Juggernaut, are present.

In addition to them...

"Mmm!! This fu-fu snack is delicious!!"

"Ayano-han, how do you even know how to make fuwa-gashi (Japanese)?"

"Master, this snack is sweet and delicious."

Queria, Maria, and Kohaku are also here.

Queria came along with the reasoning, "The holy city!! There must be something delicious there!!"

Maria, who glared at Queria's bouncing breasts with a murderous look, received thanks for delivering a letter to the Drana territory through teleportation magic.

As for Kohaku...

Hagane insisted on bringing her along.

Maybe there's a chance she could get her vision healed by the Saintess's healing magic.

But there's one thing that bothers me.

"Kohaku, are you really blind?"

"Yes. But thanks to Martha-san, I've learned combat techniques, and now I can sense the presence of people and things better than before."

"...Just don't turn into a berserker like the others."

"?"

Kohaku tilts her head in confusion.

Martha-san, huh?

I appreciate what Martha-san has done, but I can't fully trust her since she turned Wendy into a berserker.

As I pat Kohaku's head, I ponder.

Then, Iori, who was observing, asked me with a serious expression.

"Hey, Kunou-chi. Among these girls, who's your favorite?"

"...I guess there isn't one."

If I had to choose, maybe Ayano or Queria, but Ayano fires vomit beams right away, and Queria only thinks about eating.

"Hmm. So basically, everyone's on the same line. Good♪"

"...What?"

"I'm seducing Kunou-chi♪"

Iori clings to my arm. Ouch, it hurts.

However, I feel a faint softness, and I can't help but be flustered.

Knowing the character design of the female hero in the game, I know she'll eventually grow significantly, but she's already developed quite nicely.

At this rate, she'll likely become quite busty in a few years.

Imagining the more mature Iori, I suddenly thought...

...Yeah, why not?

"What are you doing, Iori-san?"

"Hmm? Just getting along with Wendy-chan's big brother."

Wendy, who had been watching our interaction, speaks up.

There's a "gurururu" sound effect in the air, and she seems filled with a certain vigor.

There's an overflowing sense of determination or spirit. I wonder what's going on.

Then, Wendy, on the opposite side of Iori, clings to my other arm and pulls me close.

Incredible power.

"Please don't get close to Onii-sama."

"Huh? Why?"

"It's just anything!!"

"Oh, I see♪ Wendy-chan wants her big brother to give her a hug too, right?"

"N-No!!"

"Don't be shy!! Come on, give me a hug!!"

"Wapu!"

Iori releases me and now hugs Wendy.

Initially resisting, Wendy seems to give in to Iori's unexpected strength and allows herself to be hugged.

After being released a few minutes later, Wendy says one thing.

"It smelled like sunshine..."

She says it dreamily.

Well, being close to Iori, you can tell she has a nice scent.

It's a girly scent, gentle and soft.

As I was contemplating this, the sudden stop of the carriage interrupted the moment.

"What happened?"

Iori murmurs, and at the same time, a knight from the Holy Kingdom, who was sitting in the driver's seat, comes down to report.

"Excuse me, Lord Draussen. It seems that a carriage displaying our country's emblem is being attacked by bandits up ahead. May we send a few guards to assist them?"

"I don't mind――Oh, sorry. A couple of my folks seem eager to join, so take them along."

"Huh? Y-Yes! Thank you for your assistance!"

By the way, the ones who seemed eager were Wendy and Iori.

The two seemed to have a bad relationship earlier, but in terms of their love for combat, they are quite similar.

Both of them are not the kind to be easily dealt with by common bandits, so it should be fine.

However, attacking a carriage displaying the emblem of the Holy Kingdom is a bold move for bandits. If they don't have a plan to defeat the Holy Kingdom itself, I would never attempt such a thing.

A few minutes later, Wendy and Iori had quickly subdued the bandits.

Then, from the attacked carriage, a voice echoed.

"Ahaha ♡ Lovely ♡ I'm so happy to see such cute girls ♡ Don't worry ♡ From today, I'll be everyone's mom ♡

"""""..."""""

The surrounding atmosphere became silent.

The scene was dominated by a uniquely perverted beauty, leaving everyone present in stunned silence.
