[ Start ]
A day has passed since we reunited with Nagumo.
Not much is needed to be said, but things were not that different from what I expected. No troubles were present, I interacted with my clone and he gave me some of his memories.
Oh, and regarding my clones, I don't bang my clones. I'm not into selfcest, because I know every single clone that I made using a soul signature that seems different from mine, but is actually mine.
Some of the memories that my clone shared with me through a single handshake were pretty interesting.
He had been through some adventures with Hajime, including the fact that the clone Kouki managed to convince the elders and the leaders of Verbergen carefully and with enough friendliness, and with a few causalities from the tigermen tribe for their own rash actions, had also gained their trust and... actually seduced the current princess of Verbergen and gained her support and she became the next person to know his face.
Then, I saw that he also helped conquer a labyrinth and gained a magic that seemed quite familiar. Although, I can't help but feel a little apologetic to the girl that ruled the labyrinth.
After sharing a few more memories, we left each other alone just in time before he left with Nagumo.
Right, time to go ask Aiko out then.
Aiko looked at the massive lake, deep in thought.
The petite teacher curiously wondered about Satoru, thinking why he hasn't proposed to her once, yet still treated her as her closest friend. Of course, there were times that looked as if he wanted to confess something to her, but he also looked annoyed and turned around.
Wait...
Was he actually trying his best to confess to her all those years ago...?
Aiko's cheeks became bright red once she realized this. Her heart was beating fast, and the realization that she might have been oblivious to his advances slowly filled her with dread.
"... Uuu... Stupid Aiko..." She blurted out while shaking her head side by side before slamming her palms towards her cheeks.
And then, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Aiko, is something wrong?" Satoru asked, bringing her out of her thoughts. Aiko looked at him with dread on her eyes and glanced away.
"... I'm sorry." She muttered as tears were about to form on her eyes. But then she felt his hand on her little head.
"Sorry for what? Look here, Aiko. You have nothing to apologize about, trust me. Although, it might have been my fault if I confessed to you too much and you decided not to accept my confession." He said as his aura was radiating pure confidence and charisma.
It was enough for her to stop doubting herself and also stop herself from actually crying, as Satoru's wide smile was in fact, enough for Aiko to gain comfort.
"Alright! Now that you have calmed down, what do you say about sneaking out of the town for a worthwhile walk?" This question seemed to have broken the current atmosphere around them.
"What?"
"I said, let's just go out to the mountains for a walk. Don't worry, we'd be back after less than a week~!"
"Wh-what about our students? A-and this town?! Shouldn't you be worried about it and it's inhabitants?"
"We can worry about them later~!"
Two cloaked men sneaked between the trees, seemingly following three figures that were approaching the mountains.
"Are you sure that we need to go with the backup plan?" One of the cloaked men asked.
"Yeah. Kill them all, and leave the Goddess of Good Harvest alive. More so without injury. Our prince requires her to support his faction's food supply. We're all glad that some of our prince's critical plans hadn't reached the ears of the other kingdom yet." His partner replied, determined to launch his prince's plans.
They were all going to the same direction that Satoru and his current companions were, until one of the cloaked men realized something.
They were literally just going in circles rather than going to where the person of interest was.
"Now what did you both say? Kill me and kidnap my girlfriend, right?" A voice behind them said, forcing them to stop and turn around.
"Sadly, you ain't gonna do that. But I'm not going to kill you so easily yet. I still have uses for you..." Satoru grinned evilly, exuding an aura so powerful that the cloaked men could not move at all.
"... give me all the information I need. Or do I need to break your minds just to gain the information?" He continued, walking slowly towards the cloaked men.
'... This is not a human! This thing is a demon! Heilig Kingdom summoned a wolf under sheep's clothing!' One of the cloaked men thought in terror, though his bladders were not given permission to open up.
It was safe to say that these assassins were practically good enough to be forced into subordination and were forced to become part of Satoru's smaller plans. Basically: they were forced to become pawns for him to sacrifice.
Meanwhile...
"Satoru? Where have you been?" Aiko asked under the shade of several tall trees as Melusine glanced around to see where were the great fishing spots near the mountains.
"Taking a piss. What else?" He replied bluntly, causing Aiko to forget asking that.
They both know that the students and the knight squad would be looking for them after a sudden disappearance, and if anything bad happened to them when they return, she might blame Satoru for those.
Likewise, they continued their temporary journey to the mountains while Satoru started to smoke on his cigarette.
A few hours into their journey later...
Satoru sat under the shade of a tree while Aiko was beside him, looking away from the direction of the charismatic man, yet sometimes, she would glance at him when he did not look.
They have decided to rest nearby a river, and due to Melusine's obsessive nature of fishing, she already had her fishing hook out on the river and patiently waited. She's incredibly focused on catching fish, so Satoru couldn't interact with her yet. He shouldn't have made her be like that, though.
Without wasting any time, Satoru had decided to boldly pull Aiko closer to him, inciting a reaction from her.
She was blushing again, for certain reasons.
Satoru then nonchalantly cupped her chin and made her look at him straight to his eyes, and then kissed her for the very first time.
"Mmh...!?" She was at first surprised, but then she returned the kiss.
They were like this for a few moments, before Satoru went to place his hand on her clothed breast.
Before they could lock tongues, Satoru halted.
"Careful, you'll wound your tongue if you ever brush it on my teeth. They're very sharp." He warned her, in which she understood when they decided to kiss each other again, french style.
Her breathing became heavy as she moaned through the kiss they have made for a long while.
After they stopped and separated, Aiko breathed heavily, arousal present on her body as Satoru's hand was fondling her chest.
[ R17 scene end ]
Satoru looked at where Melusine was, just to see her blankly stare at him and his hand that was fondling Aiko's breast. She had a steel bucket full of fish on her other hand, and looked as if she was still looking at both if them for a few minutes.
Satoru stopped for a moment, his hand retreating from fondling Aiko a little more as her mind was still processing an orgasm from the pleasure she was feeling.
"... You have another purpose of coming here other than deepening your bond with that girl, isn't that right, master?" She asked bluntly, yet she looked amused with a small smirk on her face.
"To be honest, I'm actually here to rescue a dying individual, and although I could just do it earlier with magic, I decided to take her here without letting our students know. Hey, at least they are going to be surprised when we come back at a few days after now." He replied with a straight face.
"I see. Would you allow me to cook lunch for us all?"
Satoru thought about it for a moment.
"I haven't seen you cook once. But... maybe not. Aiko can do that, if she's fully awake." He replied, poking Aiko's cheek.
*poke~* *poke~*
Then, Aiko gained enough clarity and responded.
"What...?"
"Can you please cook for us?" Satoru asked, and the petite woman nodded.
"Haah... Wait for a moment, I'm still feeling very funny from your actions earlier..." Aiko said.
It can be said that Satoru and Melusine had actually enjoyed Aiko's cooking.
After all, what can a future housewife do if she couldn't cook?
Satoru was walking around a cave that was hidden by a waterfall, trying to find the signature that he felt a day ago.
"Hmm... how about the smell of her blood? There were visible signs of battle a few kilometers northwest from here." Satoru muttered, taking a deep breath.
Before looking at the path were the smell of blood was strong, he lit up the inside of this cave with a ball of light, even if he really didn't need to because he can see even at the darkest of places.
Then he saw the one he felt interested with. A woman who was laying on the ground, at the state beyond saving for many, many others.
The woman had a damaged kimono, elf ears, and pale skin, though she actually feels like a dragon than an elf, and breasts around E cup. Her eyes were almost empty, yet there was a bit of life (and hope) still burning bright deep within them. Her breathing was slow, and her heartbeat was critically slow.
"Well, no time for monologuing." Satoru said, before taking out the [Soul Elixir] from his [Inven-Dimension], opened it, and poured a few drops on the woman's body before closing it (*1).
Then, the woman was surrounded by bright light, and after it dimmed, the woman seemed to have completely recovered, and although her eyes were closed, if Satoru opened them, those same eyes would have their colors returned.
Wasting no time, Satoru carried the girl in a princess carry and left immediately.
A few apostles from Echt would arrive here, but they weren't able to find their target, meaning that they have already failed a mission. It also means that they were to now be disposed of.
[ Two Days Later...]
Tio Klarus woke up feeling refreshed. It's as if she hadn't fought those winged bastards and not even beginning a long flight from the island to here.
Her dress was fine, and it looked like it wasn't damaged once.
However, this place didn't look any familiar. She didn't even remember that she was here, and the last thing she saw in that cave was a very blurry figure that could not be distinguished even with the light he made.
She was happy that she is saved from death's grasp, but she did not know how he saved her.
Now, she was flabbergasted and very confused, as three naked figures were sleeping nearby her.
There was a man that was hugged by two figures, big and petite, who looked like the figure that saved her.
"Haaa... This princess might have to wait for them to wake up." She said, laying back down to wait for some time.

Notes:
*1: Soul Elixir - A powerful elixir that Satoru and Taboo Pardon, his 38th wife, had made. It doesn't simply heal the entire body (and removes certain scars) and heals / restores the healthy state of mind and repairs the soul OR actually revive someone. It also unleashes the true potential of the minds, bodies, and souls those who had used the elixir in different ways such as normal ingestion or straight out pouring it on the entire body. Also one of the strongest consumables Satoru ever had.
