Defiled Hero

Kunoichi Attack

「...Ei.」 (Tear)

「This is the fifth one. The goblin subjugation is complete.」

(Izayoi)

As proof of the goblin subjugation, I took

their left ears. Being able to kill a monster is actually a large step forward.

Experience will begin to accumulate now.

「You tried hard, Tear.」 (Izayoi)

「...Yes,」 replied the worn-out Tear.

Even though we went deep into the forest,

we saw nothing but goblins. It would be good if the bad feeling was just my

imagination...

「Well, shall we return now—」 (Izayoi)

All of a sudden, I felt murderous intent. There

were neither monsters nor people nearby. No, more correctly would be that they

couldn't be felt.

Astrea mentioned it before, that there were

two concealment magic users in the forest.

The two that were hiding, are they finally going to come out?

「Rigolo! Take Tear and run!」 (Izayoi)

The murderous intent approached at a

tremendous speed. They must have been at a considerably high rank, given that

the concealment magic made it hard to see or feel them. Though it was

impossible to catch sight of them, I relied upon the murderous intent and drew

my sword.

Cutting through empty space, the sound of

metal hitting metal resounded, and sparks scattered.

There are two enemies, but I can only feel

one of them.

Where? Where are they? Are they aiming for

Tear? I should've felt the same murderous intent if that was the case. As I was

thinking about it, the enemy attacked.

Fast. They moved like a ninja. It's a pain

not being able to see them. The style makes use of quick movements without

stopping, killing their opponents while they are confused.

Because they were able to completely

disappear, even those with considerable talent would be taken down.

However, a small amount of bloodthirst was

let out.

As long as that sign is understood, it's as

good as being able to see them.

I predicted their arcing path and cut at

it. The other party warded off all of my attacks.

They're considerably skilled as well.

They can't compare to Tsukuyomi, however.

The problem is the second enemy. They

aren't appearing at all. It's a problem if they're aiming for Tear. If they get

any further away then I'm going to be too late if something happens.

It's about time for the enemy to introduce

themselves.

The second enemy began to move.

When I missed my attack, the second enemy

took it as a chance and moved in. It seems I can’t evade it, so I put myself in

a poor stance to parry the enemy's attack.

I reached out with my free left hand into

empty space.

(Astrea.)

(Izayoi)

『If it's direct, this Astrea-chan can dispel the high-level

concealment magic.』 (Astrea)

*Squish*

I didn't know where I touched, and even

though it was small, it was quite soft in the palm of my hand.

I really don't know where I'm touching.

Thinking I'd rate it a B, I really didn't know though.

As the sensation was felt in my hand,

Astrea dispelled the concealment magic.

The space distorted, and as if black smoke

was dissipating, the enemy's form came into shape. A black robe with a golden

line ran to the ground. The face was hidden with a hood.

Based on their body, they were still a

child, probably around 13 or so.

I couldn't determine their gender. The soft

feeling could be a boy's muscle. Ah, that has to be it.

Seeing the chest area that I was massaging

with my left hand, another hand that wasn't mine could be seen.

「...Elder sister, realize that it's our defeat and apologize

already.」 (???)

「I can't do that! I will never be defeated while I'm alive! This is

a fight to the death!」 (Elder Sister)

There are two of them. So that's how it is.

The one whose chest I'm massaging is the

elder sister. Wait, no, I can't confirm if they're actually female yet.

Even if they're an older brother, they may

have a hobby of wanting to be called an elder sister.

It's still too early to draw any

conclusions.

「...Impossible. You can't win as you are now elder sister. Admit

defeat and give up your right breast. He just might let us go.」

(???)

Yep, it's a girl. And it really is her

breast.

But, what's with that. What was that about

receiving a woman's breasts.

I'll do it. This is my chance. I changed

the bad situation into a chance.

「That's right. Obediently offer up your right breast and I'll let

you go. Now, gimme.」 (Izayoi)

「I refuse! I haven't lost yet! If I give up my right breast then Uri

and Reri will have lost completely!」 (Elder Sister)

「Will you submit if you're defeated?」 (Izayoi)

Very well. I am a man.

「I see. So? What do you plan on doing? If I understand what you're

saying, you still want to fight?」 (Izayoi)

「That's what I've been saying! I'll fight until my body falls to

pieces!」 (Elder Sister)

「Until you fall to pieces, is it. What spirit. However—」

(Izayoi)

「The continued existence of your breast is in my hand, you know.」

(Izayoi)

Until I release my grip on their breast,

they can't do anything.

「*Kuh,* That is so. But! Even if you defeat Uri, there is still

Reri!」 (Elder Sister → Uri)

「...If anything more than elder sister's are taken, Reri will have

to go.」 (??? → Reri)

Saying that, another person came forward.

「...Uri is my partner. It is regrettable, but I must separate elder

sister's breasts. If Reri loses then elder sister's right breast and my other

breast will have to be given up. Reri's breasts are larger, by the way.」

(Reri)

「I, I get it...」 (Uri)

My thoughts on breasts began to change just

now.

I've never heard women talk about breasts

this much.

Five years have passed. Is this what they

call a generation gap?

Do girls from this younger generation think

that their breasts are equivalent to their lives?

『Izayoi! Come back! You're wandering off-course! Astrea-chan knows

this uncomfortable feeling.』 (Astrea)

(Be quiet. Breasts are everything in this

world. I just realized that.) (Izayoi)

『That theory is weird! For the Izayoi with no interest in genders to

go this far!? Come back!』 (Astrea)

(I said be quiet. You can't say that

because you have no breasts.) (Izayoi)

『Whawhawha!? If I push them together I definitely have them!』

(Astrea)

(Breasts if you push them together. I don't

need such things.) (Izayoi)

「...I really am serious. If we're the same then I need to experience

the same thing.」 (Reri)

Pulling out two daggers, the girl faced me.

After I released the elder sister, she went

to observe from the top of a tree.

The instant I looked at the elder sister,

the girl in front of me disappeared from sight. Astrea shouldn't be able to use

her dispel magic for now. Then how about this.

「—Fast.」 (Izayoi)

I received the attack from the girl who got

behind me.

「...No way, to match Reri's speed you must be a monster.」

(Reri)

「You have my praise for being able to move that well. You're fast

enough to be able to kill someone of Emperor rank.」 (Izayoi)

「...Then what are you.」 (Reri)

「As you said, a monster, is it. I've become used to being called

that.」 (Izayoi)

「What inhuman strength.」 (Reri)

Invisible to the eye, and no useless

movement. Immediately after receiving my counterattack, she moved in to attack.

I could finish this by devoting myself to

defense, but I'll never deal a finishing blow that way.

It must take considerable effort, and the

girl endured even with her poor physique. Is it about time?

If this continues, her life force will be

whittled away. I have to end this with brute force before that happens.

I didn't want to have to end it like this.

Taking a firm step forward, I lowered my

stance.

「It's useless...」 (Reri)

「Eh?」 (Izayoi)

Before I attacked with all my strength, she

fell flat on the floor.

「So tired... Can't move anymore...」 (Reri)

「Reri can only fight serious for 30 seconds in one day! It's Uri and

Reri's defeat... I'll give you my right boob as promised...」 (Uri)

Only 30 seconds? How lazy.

Is that why you were being carried around?

How convenient. Her partner admitted defeat

as well. There's no will to fight.

「No, I don't need boobs.」 (Izayoi)

「Why... I don't need mercy.」 (Reri)

「I don't like boobs in the first place. That's it.」 (Izayoi)

「No, no way! And Uri was serious about letting her right boob be

massaged!」 (Uri)

「The conversation only went in that direction. Fighting is a pain,

so I plan to leave it at only this. I don't have the time to deal with the

likes of you.」 (Izayoi)

「...The likes of Reri and Uri, you say?」 (Reri)

「Ah, that's right.」 (Izayoi)

Their mood conveyed utter defeat.

I have no interest in taking their lives.

「If you ever attack me or my companions, I'll take your lives.

Remember that.」 (Izayoi)

Turning my back on the two, I chased after

Rigolo and Tear who had gotten surprisingly far away.

『Izayoi. It was supposed to end on a good note, but what was that

about boobs?』 (Astrea)

(What are you talking about, Astrea. Women

shouldn't use such words.) (Izayoi)

『Hey, Izayoi. The fact that you were talking about her offering her

right boob with a clear conscience isn't going to go away.』 (Astrea)

(...The boobs have disappeared. All of the

breasts to be worried about have gone away.) (Izayoi)

『That excuse doesn't work.』 (Astrea)

So begins the breast rubbing.
