Sun Dragon Arc - Chapter 39: Gratitude

One thing for certain is that, this girl will be executed if I hand her over to the elves. Questioning her sounds like something great to do since she's of a high ranking status in the Dark Lord's army and should know the other generals. The information she can offer may possibly be related to the next incoming attacks of her side. However, my instincts are telling me she'll be killed.

Then again, does she even want to serve under her boss to begin with? I'm certain she mentioned she and the other generals were cursed by the current Dark Lord to do as he says, I can't even imagine myself in their situation.

For now, I should clear up this place of monsters after I get Nemisis somewhere safe.

I'm in the middle of the woods, where can I even hide her? I guess I'll just push her over to Alric's portal and let her stay there. But first off, let's cure this curse and see if there actually is one with [Write Destiny].

Just as I was going to reach out for my quill and parchment, looks like One already prepared them for me.

Hmm, let's see.

"The curse of enslavement

inflicted by The Dark Lord

on the Dark Elf Nemisis

will be Removed entirely."

After that, red flames consumed the paper meaning the cost for this miracle was higher than I had expected.

『20,000 Affection Points had been deducted from Seven Clavery.』

Wh-What? That much? Was the curse that strong? That's one crazy spell to have costed such a disasterous amount of Affection Points.

It's a good thing I only used that spell on Nemisis. Because I was also thinking of freeing the other generals, I had the idea to just release them all from one skill activation. But if I did so just now, then not only would I lose all my points, I may have even lost my mind again.

Would using too much at once also have any negative effects?

But then, a worse possibility came to my mind. What if all my affection points are gone and reach a debt of more than 10,000? A debt of almost 2,000 already made me have an unstoppable urge to lunge on Aria that time, what if this time I had so much debt and it isn't paid in time?

Will I lose my mind and go crazy?

Or will I die?

I would rather prefer dying than becoming crazy unless someone could actually cure me.

Putting my worries aside, I should focus on my current problem and call for Alric.

Using my storage ring, I brought out a smartphone and immediately went into our messenger app. Once I did, I selected Alric's crappy portrait and started texting him.

SevenOne:

— Alric, are you still up?

BestHeroYukio:

— Yeah I am, what's up?

SevenOne:

— I need you to open your gate, I'm going to send someone there.

BestHeroYukio:

— What am I a transportation truck? I'm betting it's a girl. You chick magnet.

SevenOne:

— That's not important right now. Come on and open it up.

BestHeroYukio:

— Fine fine, I'll be careful not to wake up the two girls though so it'll be slower. They're sleeping in the next room in their bedroom right now.

While carrying Nemisis, multitudes of stray magic and physical projectiles almost hit us but I managed to deflect them with my magic swords at once.

While waiting, I stored the smartphone in the storage ring again and no less than a minute passed before a guy came crashing down from the skies while wearing only boxers. He was almost naked at this point...

"You could have atleast dressed up first..."

"That takes me 2 minutes so I didn't want to waste time and just ran and flew all the way."

"Yet you had the luxury to get here in less than thirty seconds?!"

"Running and flying is much faster than changing my clothes, you should know that."

Alric shrugged and I just looked at Nemisis who was still K.O'ed by that guy who looks a bit like me.

"So is this the person?"

Alric asked with curiousity after opening a Gate leading to his room.

"Is that a dark elf!?"

For some reason, Alric looked scared. It's the first time I saw him like this before. Then suddenly to my astonishment, it felt as if his insane mana pool just decreased slowly to a point where it was comparable to a 5 year old kid.

"Is there something wrong with dark elves?"

"I have a fair share of experience with races like hers. They all craved for my large pool of divine mana so I've always avoided them."

"What's divine mana?"

I inquired since I've never heard of that before. I was thinking whether he was just praising the capacity of his mana pool or there's an actual different type of mana.

"Divine mana is something only Heroes and World Gods produce. You could say they're the upgraded version of mana, it has some healing factors and higher magic value than the usual. As a downside to that, races that eat mana like spirits are drawn to us. That's why I immediately sealed more than 99% of my mana inside another dimension, I'll just use them when I have to."

I see, even I would be extremely concerned if this girl pounces on Alric. That's going to hurt my feelings a bit since she kissed me, although I'm not really attracted to this girl. So I have no say in her life choices.

"I've had enough of this stuff, so I'll just tie her up when we arrive before she wakes up and does anything weird." Alric said while looking concerned about his wellbeing.

But I doubt Alric doesn't know this since he knows full well how I behave with other girls. With that, Alric literally tied up the Dark General while I briefed to him about her identity and dragged her inside the portal. I can't believe he was dragging her on the ground using her feet though. And with just two fingers at that, was he that afraid of dark elves?

The gate shrunk into nothing and with them gone, I rushed back to the battlefields and summoned an array of spears to send a volley of them to the groups of monsters.

Who most suffered impaling damage. With my presence, the elven soldiers' morale have increased exponentially and by surrounding the monsters and continuously raining down spears on them, we managed to have an overwhelming victory. Albeit I got shot on the arm while flying because the monster archers suddenly focused all their firepower on me alone.

But that's pointless now since I was being healed by Estel with her superb healing magic.

"Thank you so much, Seven!"

After healing me to my prime state, Estel embraced me tightly.

"I-I just got back from the battlefield so don't hug me like that."

"A-Ah, I-I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to!"

"It's okay, actually I have to apologize since I didn't get to capture the Dark General."

I went with the story that Nemisis escaped rather than tell them that she was killed by me. It's more believable that way since I'm not the type to kill someone, but if ever something really comes to that point, I wouldn't hesitate.

"It's really alright! The villagers are all thankful for your help, they even prepared more than fifty maidens already."

"Fifty?! Forget that, I did say I'm taking just you didn't I?"

I seriously do not want to screw up like that. Why would they think I'd love screwing dozens of girls at the same time?!

"S-So you were serious afterall. So when should we get marr—"

"In two years. I decided it will be in two years."

Estel looked a little down but still showed me a bright smile to show that she was satisfied by my answer. I couldn't help but caress her cheek because of that.

When she realized what I was doing, she looked at my eyes passionately and I could tell what she's thinking when our lips are only a few inches close to each other.

So when she closed her eyes, I figured out her intention and hugged her instead. I don't feel like kissing her right now, meeting girls then just starting to kiss them all of a sudden is very bad. I only got used to that because of the [Rewrite Destiny] skill, since I needed to be aggressive at the start.

But then I realized my affection points dropped by more than 20,000 earlier. So I stopped hugging Estel, looked at her confused expression, then pushed her down to deliver our first kiss.

I wanted to change, but I have to do this. Who knows what sudden danger approaches.

"Fuah... S-Seven... Don't be so rough, hnngh!"

We're inside a private tent so we're completely hidden. As long as we stay quiet, noone will spot us. Probably.

Identifying my worries, I continued to pull down Estel's clothing until her plum supple nipples came to view.

"Seven... This is too embarrassing, we're going too fast aren't we..?"

"I'll take responsibility, so just stay put, okay?"

"Mnngh..."

With what seemed like her consent, I fully removed her clothes and began by sucking her nipples. I can't believe I'm this desperate after losing 20,000 Affection Points, did it actually affect me as I thought? That being said, she has cute nipples just like Arlet but it's slightly bigger in size I guess?

"Can I go all in, Estel?"

"Wh-What? S-Seven you—"

Without waiting for a reply, I slid my right arm in between her legs and silenced her mouth using mine before she gets too noisy about what I'm going to do next.

"Mnngh!"

Despite her looking so embarrassed, she's finely allowing me to do all this stuff to her and even cooperating.

"S-Seven, you're sucking too much..."

"I'm sorry, you just taste nice, Estel."

"I-Is that so? You're so good at pleasing my body, Seven..."

"I'm a girl too, you know. So ofcourse I know how to do you."

"Then I should get my revenge now, shouldn't I?"

Estel smiled at me, trying to look cool when she's all red from head to toe, then all of a sudden, she switched places with me.

Now I'm at the bottom.

And she's at the top.

One last push and I'll get every points I can get out of her. Although I'm not used to being bottom in this relationship, I'll still be getting Affection Points one way or another.

But before she could so much as make a move after that, we heard footsteps coming over to our tent's direction. Making Estel stop in her tracks and hastily fix her clothes while I rubbed off our mixed fluids from my lips.

Only a few seconds after we've finished tidying up, a male elf revealed himself from the entrance accompanied by many soldiers. He gave off the feeling of dignity so I'm guessing he's someone special.

"Daughter, are you done tending to our hero's wounds?"

Daughter? Whom?

"Y-Yes, father!"

Estel answered, I was in shock since I'm seeing her father for the first time and right after she and I did something bad at that. So then, her father is this tall guy who looks no older than 20? Elves really do live up to their name.

"S-Seven, this is my father and the owner of this village. Jhillia Warden."

Estel introduced me, her cheeks were still evidently showing signs we did something indecent before this meeting.

"Nice to meet you, Seven Clavery. I'm here to offer you our sincerest gratitude for coming to save us in our time of need. Without you, our village would have perished alongside the soldiers who stayed behind."

At his speech, I noticed that he and every elven soldier present standing behind him, kneeled to the ground on one knee and placed their right hands clenched into fists against their chest. Small numbers of mana particles were flowing out of their skin.

"This is our way to formally show you how thankful we are. Ofcourse it won't end just like this, we are willing to answer any wish you may have."

"Anything?"

"Indeed, anything."

"Then... Can your daughter be mine, please?"

The village chief looked speechless and still. As if he had become a genuine statue ripe for selling.
