A Former Child Soldier Who Uses a Magic Sword Wants to Live with an Older Sister of a Former Enemy Executive - Chapter 84

• Chapter 84 : My first time witnessing a love affair between men and women

At the large river located southwest of Hopi Mesa, a wooden ship was anchored at the dock.

There was a village nearby, and travelers could be spotted here and there.

It was a much calmer place than Benjamin Village, and as the boy gazed longingly across the river, he felt as if the very hardships he had endured since birth were being washed away.

As the river flowed, so did the white clouds through the sky.

Although that space, the immensity of which was in a league of its own compared to the sea, was presented as if in a story, it was truly a manifestation of the greatness of Mother Nature’s creation.

The royal capital was at the end of that river, but what could possibly lie beyond even that?

Where did that great river come from, and where did it go?

For Seto, whose understanding was still in development, those were difficult questions.

All he could do was imagine that the world was endlessly expanding beyond the realm of his comprehension.

[I guess the wind does feel different once you’re close to a river.] (Seto)

[It’s a river breeze. Since this area is by a river, the amount of moisture in the air is also different. It must’ve been the same back in Ulaine Donagh.] (Satis)

[I bet it was. Say, how long until the ship leaves?] (Seto)

[Two hours, I think. We’ve got plenty of time to spare, so how about we take a look around?] (Satis)

[Sure, I’d like to see a bit more of the river.] (Seto)

[You really are a curious one, Seto. In that case, the beach over there should be open, so let’s explore it together!] (Satis)

[Ohh, so we can go there!] (Seto)

[…Shall I put on my swimsuit?] (Satis)

[Pfft…! Huh? A-Are you serious…?] (Seto)

[Oh no~, I’m sure some strangers will try to make a pass at me~!] (Satis)

[Huh!? N-Nevermind, then! Forget the swimsuit! Let’s just go!!] (Seto)

Seto blushed as he led Satis by the hand and they headed towards the beach.

While Satis smiled with satisfaction from teasing Seto for the first time in a while, the jealousy Seto displayed made her feel something warm in her heart.

Now, with her hand in his, they headed for the beach.

Seto’s pull was strong, but his grip on her hand was gentle.

When they arrived at the beach, Seto’s face was still flushed, and he was wandering around desperately trying to cool down his burning emotions in the wind.

[Geez, Seto. You really can’t take a joke.] (Satis)

[Please don’t say things like that all of a sudden. You’re gonna give me a heart attack.] (Seto)

[If you like, I could sleep with you in my swimsuit tonight.] (Satis)

[Bfffh!?] (Seto)

[I’m just kidding. I guess you’re still too wet behind the ears~.] (Satis)

[Ugh… That’s a low blow, Satis.] (Seto)

[Oh, so should we stop sleeping together, then?] (Satis)

[Eh? Ah, I didn’t mean—] (Seto)

[So you do want us to share a bed. …Perv.] (Satis)

[Stop that…] (Seto)

Seto’s head was spinning due to everything Satis said since they arrived.

However, concluding that further seduction would short-circuit Seto’s brain, Satis switched the mood and went to buy him a drink.

[I’ll buy you something at that drink bar over there. Please wait here.] (Satis)

[Okay, got it.] (Seto)

Seto sat on the beach grasping his knees, and gazed blankly at the majestic water stream in front of him.

He felt his stimulation from earlier fade away by doing this.

Just when he felt his head starting to cool down, a man and a woman who appeared to be a couple came into Seto’s field of vision.

However, something strange was happening between them.

[Hold on a minute! What do you mean you wanna break up?!] (Woman)

[Sorry, but I don’t wanna be at your beck and call any longer. We’re dating, yet we’ve never done anything couples do. You keep using me for that “magic sword hunt” of yours, and you’re always insulting me. I’m sick of it all!] (Man)

Magic sword hunt? …Hm? That woman… Yeah, no doubt about it… She’s got magic sword affinity. (Seto)

As if watching a play, Seto was listening to their conversation in silence.

This was the first time he had witnessed a romantic relationship between a man and a woman, so he was very much intrigued.

However, after a while, he noticed something.

That the woman, who seemed to be on the verge of tears, was someone he had seen before.

That woman, I’ve seen her somewhere before… I think it was back in Benjamin Village… (Seto)

That was what he thought as he watched them.

It was then that they broke up on the spot, leaving the woman’s eyes filled with tears of regret.

She had long silver hair that reached her waist, and she was wearing a black hat and a black jacket of some sort.

She was also wearing a devilishly designed bikini armor and a black pareo around her waist. She had a beautiful figure, and although her breasts were larger than Satis’, her proportions were well-balanced.

[…What the hell are you looking at, you little punk!?] (Woman)

[Oh, crap!] (Seto)

Seto tried to move away, but he tripped on the sand, and was a bit too late to escape.

The woman moved at a terrifying speed, and caught Seto immediately.

[Whoa! Stop! What do you want!?] (Seto)

[You damn brat, c’mere for a sec! I said get over here, dammit!] (Woman)

[L-Let me go already!] (Seto)

With her extraordinary vitality, the woman took Seto, who was unable to resist, to a deserted area away from onlookers.

There, Seto witnessed what could qualify as an extraordinary “performance”.

In an instant, his back was against the wall, and before he could fight back, the woman had placed her right hand next to his face, and her right knee in his crotch.

This was clearly…

So this is what they call… a “wall-slam”! (Seto)

Despite the angry expression on the woman’s face, Seto couldn’t help but gasp at her pleasant scent wafting through the air. 

[Hey, you were staring at me during our conversation just now, weren’t you?] (Woman)

[Erm, sorry about that. But you were arguing right in front of me.] (Seto)

[Spare me your excuses. How dare you watch me get dumped, you dumbass. Now I’m dying of shame… So take responsibility for it.] (Woman)

[R-Responsibility? Wait, I’m not responsible for any of—] (Seto)

[Shut up!!] (Woman)

Seto was bewildered by the apparent hopelessness for any communication with her.

The woman was in a state of agitation, and licked her own lips as if to say that she had found a perfect mark.

[Ohh, I’m so hurt. You reeeeally hurt my poor little feelings, you know?] (Woman)

[No, if anything, the one whose feelings were hurt was your ex.] (Seto)

[Who said you could talk back to me, you twerp?] (Woman)

[Just what the hell do you want from me?] (Seto)

[Well, first things first. You got a guardian or something with you, right? I’m gonna have ’em pay me compensation for you “doing inappropriate things to me”. Well well, what’s your guardian gonna say once they hear that, I wonder?] (Woman)

[Hm? …Uh, actually, I don’t think I’ll have to worry about that.] (Seto)

[Don’t try to bluff me. Think you’re so smart, kid…?] (Woman)

[Uh, no. That wasn’t a bluff…] (Seto)

Seto was looking behind the woman.

And when she slowly turned around…

[Care to explain what you’re doing?] (Satis)

Satis was standing there with a drink in her hand, and clearly with a large amount of murderous intent in her glare.

She was smiling, but the eyes peeking out of her eyelids were those of a raging, bloodthirsty beast.

[How dare you threaten and blackmail a child smaller than you, and then accuse him of something he didn’t even do.] (Satis)

The aura Satis emitted made the woman lose her earlier bravado.

And most of all, she was jealous of the fact that Satis had a much more beautiful body than herself.

[Sh-Shuddup! Hmph! It’s this little runt’s fault for staring at me! …Urgh, screw it. And screw you too, bitch. I’m gonna start by beating the crap outta you!] (Woman)

In response to the woman cracking her fists and getting ready to fight, Satis sighed and took off her glasses.

[Enjoy the show, brat. You’re gonna see the one you care about get beaten to a pulp!!] (Woman)

[Uhh, I don’t think you should do that.] (Seto)

[Shut your trap. Heeheehee! Curse your own bad luck for this!] (Woman)

[No, like I said, you shouldn’t—] (Seto)

[TIME TO DIIIIIIIIE!!] (Woman)

[Come on, just quit while you’re— …!! …Told her.] (Seto)

Seto sighed as he watched the woman getting punched into the air right above him.

Also, he would find out later on that this woman was an acquaintance of Ryodou Anacondell, who had taken care of the boy back in Benjamin Village.
