Chapter 159 A Discussion Between Men and Women
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”That… must definitely be Barnail,” Liliarette said.
”I thought he might find this place eventually… but it was faster than I anticipated,” she added.
I received the report from Eunos-san just as I was finishing my lunch.
Apparently, spotting something hovering in the distance far above, Eunos-san had requested Vectra-san to launch her into the sky.
Though she ascended to a considerable altitude, she was unable to reach the height of her target. Nevertheless, she managed to confirm the sight of a massive bird with a man perched upon its back.
As she descended slowly using the wings on her back, Eunos-san reportedly attempted to bring the interloper down with the guns held in both hands.
However, whether due to the bird’s exceptional maneuverability or the rider’s skill, she failed to land a single shot.
”It was a masterful display of skill. He even evaded shots where I had predicted his trajectorywa,” Eunos said.
”Then there was no point in me launching you. You’re a useless winged woman,” Vectra replied.
”Coming from someone who lacks any long-range offensive capabilities and can’t even stay airborne? You wouldn’t be able to lift a finger against an assassin from the sky, would you?” Eunos snapped.
”Please, stop fighting…?” I asked quietly.
It seemed the figure Eunos-san encountered was indeed the man who had dropped me into the Demon Forest¹. He is a young elite knight, the sole individual in the Kingdom capable of traversing the heavens at will.
”So they’ve discovered our existence here… I wonder if that will have any immediate repercussions?” I pondered aloud.
”I wonder…” Liliarette replied.
”Even if they can observe us from above, I think it would be difficult for them to actually launch an interference. We have Vectra and Eunos here, after all,” Liliarette said.
That’s true enough… Within the boundaries of the Dominion², they possess tireless bodies capable of operating indefinitely without sleep or rest.
However… Liliarette continued.
”What piques my curiosity is why Barnail chose this specific moment to scout the Demon Forest.”
”Indeed… he wouldn’t have flown out this far without a compelling reason,” Aris agreed.
”Is that so?” I asked.
”Yes. As the only knight capable of flight, he spends every day crisscrossing the country as a messenger. Under normal circumstances, he shouldn’t be able to spare the time to venture deep into the Demon Forest,” Liliarette explained.
Ah… I think I’ve heard something to that effect before. From their perspective, the sudden appearance of an elite knight in the depths of the Demon Forest was a distinct anomaly.
Iris was the one who spoke up then.
”Perhaps rumors of the King of the Magic Labyrinth³ have reached the Kingdom…?”
”That’s a possibility. Grandfather has been quite aggressive in selling the agricultural produce from our lands. After all, crops grown in the Demon Forest are a rare delicacy,” Liliarette said.
That line of reasoning seems plausible. Liliarette had mentioned this previously—if we continue our commerce with the Kelna Merchant Guild⁴ of the Republic, it is only a matter of time before the name of the King of the Magic Labyrinth spreads across the continent.
It seems highly likely that those rumors have already reached the Kingdom…
”It might even be starting to attract the Empire’s attention as well,” Liliarette added.
”Will the Empire start investigating us too…?” I asked.
Certainly, this Dominion is accessible via the sky… Eme-chan has already demonstrated that by flying back and forth to the Royal Capital.
”Should we start preparing some countermeasures?” I asked.
”It’s a difficult judgment to makedesuwa. It’s not as if they’ve explicitly declared themselves hostile yet…” Aris said.
”Actually, I suspect Barnail won’t be returning,” Liliarette remarked.
”Eh?”
”He was put in a precarious position by Eunos, was he not? Barnail is an irreplaceable asset. I find it hard to believe that Viorga would risk such a valuable resource on a repeat investigation of the Demon Forest,” Liliarette said.
”…That’s a fair point,” I replied.
Not just in the Kingdom, but in this entire world, those who can soar through the sky are incredibly rare. If he’s intercepted again, he might actually be shot down. Considering the risks, they probably wouldn’t order him to return for a second pass.
It must be nice. To be the kind of talent where people plead with you not to leave the company. From the perspective of someone whose only real-world experience is a string of part-time jobs, I can’t help but feel a twinge of envy.
”…Well, for now, I’ll go fill the Kelna Merchant Guild’s warehouse to the brim tomorrow. If Alest-san is there, I might try to pry some information from him…” I said.
I should be able to gauge just how far the ‘King of the Magic Labyrinth’ brand has spread. Plus, he might have intel on the current state of the war between the Kingdom and the Empire. It’s a good opportunity, so I’ll take Aris and Iris along with me.
(Come to think of it, does my
Perhaps that will change as my Quester⁶ level increases.
Invisible intruders and aerial scouts… things are starting to feel a bit restless.

Even with such heavy matters weighing on my mind, sexual desire naturally accumulates.
That night, for the first time in quite a while, I spent the evening alone with Cleonora.
”Sigh… Shoichi…! More, give me more…!” Cleonora hummed.
Tonight, I had her wear simple white lingerie I’d purchased back in Japan.
I had originally intended to have her try a ninja cosplay that supposedly heightens sensitivity to an incredible degree, but unfortunately, no matter how tightly I folded it, I couldn’t fit it into my
But this is quite nice in its own right! Erotic costumes are exciting, of course, but this kind of underwear that emphasizes a woman’s natural femininity really elevates Cleonora’s charm to a new level!
We were joined on the bed in a face-to-face seated position. We had been in a cowgirl position until a moment ago, but I had shifted to sit upright.
”Mmm…” she sighed.
I kissed her, our tongues entwining as I pulled her closer to maximize the contact between our bodies. Cleonora clung to me desperately, and I gripped the soft flesh of her buttocks with both hands.
Even in this position, Cleonora was proactively grinding her hips. Perhaps because she has the longest history of intimacy with me, she’s incredibly enthusiastic when we’re in bed!
Cleonora let out a low hum as she swallowed my saliva, her hip movements growing even more fervent. The kiss must have driven her arousal even higher.
I could feel her savoring the pleasure of my length within her. It almost felt as though I was the one being embraced. It felt absolutely incredible!
”Mmm… mgh, mmph… hn, ahh!?”
She must have become too lost in the kiss and the rhythm of her hips, as Cleonora suddenly lost her balance and began to tip backward. I leaned forward to follow her down.
”Ah…” she sighed.
Cleonora fell back onto the bed, and I hovered over her, pressing my weight down. She immediately wrapped both her legs around my waist, resuming her movements from below.
”Hah, ah… It’s been so long since it was just the two of us, Shoichi… I’m so happy…”
”Cleonora…!” I said.
During the day, I occasionally have sex with someone one-on-one, but lately, every night seemed to turn into a group affair. Aside from our time in the open-air bath, it had been a long time since we’d shared a night just the two of us.
”Back when we first arrived, it was just the two of us every single day…” I muttered.
”Mmm… Yes… Our household has grown so large now… Fufu. Even Lilia is here… I’m truly grateful to you, Shoichi, you know…?” she replied.
She’s so adorable! What really gets me is how she can keep moving her hips while wearing such a radiant, innocent smile. I remained sprawled over her, my legs extended as I focused on the sensation.
”Haaah… I love you, Shoichi… Love me… even more…!” she whispered.
”……!”
”Ahh!?” she hummed.
Unable to restrain myself any longer, I began to drive my hips. I put my full weight into it, slamming into her repeatedly.
With the added momentum, each thrust gouged deep into her core.
”Cleonora, Cleonora…!” I called out.
”Shoichi, more…! I love you, I love you so much, Shoichi…! Keep going, inside me…! Fill me up… give me everything…!” she gasped.
”Kuh…!” I groaned.
Cleonora gazed up at me with glazed, melting eyes, her lips parted as her tongue sought mine. I latched onto it, and we immediately began a feverish exchange of saliva.
”Mmm, smack… mgh, ah…” she hummed.
No matter how many times I hold her, her body always welcomes me and feels utterly perfect. I’m certain I’ll never grow tired of this for as long as I live.
With that conviction, I pierced through the winding path and ground against the inner walls. Finally, to stain her noble womb, I vented my desire into her deepest reaches.
”Mgh…!? Hn, ~~~~~~~~~~…!?” she gasped.
Our entwined tongues thrummed with a sharp twitch. My length continued to pulse, pumping hot desire directly toward the royal uterus below.
Enveloped by the tightening walls, I felt a rhythmic thump, thump as I thrashed within her, striking my white-hot seed against the uterine walls.
There probably wasn’t an inch of her that hadn’t been touched by my seed by now. But it wasn’t enough. Not nearly enough. I wanted to feel even more in this hole. I wanted to make her feel even better…!
The initial wave of ejaculation subsided, but our kiss continued unabated. At this rate, Cleonora would be back in heat in no time.
Our long, hot night had only just begun.
