Oukoku e Tsuzuku Michi
chapter-419

Aegir POV–

I hear the sound of a woman screaming in the darkness like silk being torn.

Then a powerful yell rang out in my head.

“Someone, save me”

「What’s going on?」

I run toward the direction of the voice.

It’s black all around me so I can’t see what’s in front, let alone the wall or the floor.

I advance mostly by feeling my way and open what seems to be a door.

Inside the room, illuminated by a single small candle was a man and a woman.

Both of them were naked and laying together, appearing at first glance to be in the middle of having sex, however upon closer, the man was actually choking the woman.

「Ga…… ggh……」

Her scream changed to something that sounded like a frog being squashed.

The man seems to be swinging his hips enjoyably as he strangles the woman while she reaches her hand out to the corner of the room.

There, a young girl, maybe ten years of age, is overcome with surprise and trying to grab the hand of her gradually suffocating mother.

“She’s going to be killed again”

The man lets out a pleasure-filled groan and attempts to reap the life of the mother in exchange for sexual gratification.

「Hey.」

My hands and feet move on their own and kick the back of the man.

「W-what――」

Before he could finish his sentence, his face was punched three times, then after coughing out blood, fainted and was thrown out of the window.

「Ga, gahoh…… gehoh……」

The released mother hunches over, desperately gasping for air.

Her face was turning darkish red, and she would have lost her life if she was choked for a few more seconds.

As I approach her, I see visible signs of her body being beaten repeatedly and even cuts from a blade of some sort.

「I don’t know what the situation is, but you’re safe now.」

When I hug the mother, she reflexively hugs me back.

“If this is the case”

I’ve been hearing something echoing in my head for some time now.

Not to mention, it’s a familiar voice.

My mouth moves on its own.

「Fumu―― what a nice woman.」

“There’s no way he’ll leave the mother alone. He’ll attack her the moment she’s saved”

「I’ve decided, I’ll fuck you right now. I won’t be rough, so don’t resist.」

My mouth moves on its own again.

I hold down the mother’s arms with my hand and bury my face in her breasts.

This is strange. Even if my body acts on its own accord due to lust, there’s a limit to the extent of movement.

It feels as if I’m being controlled like a marionette.

「Aah, if you’re so forceful…… S-Sekrit, look the other way!」

“I always covered my ears by the wall whenever my mother slept with a man”

The mother who decided to accept me shyly instructs the girl―― wait, Sekrit?

Now that I look at her again, the young girl has the distinctive dark skin, black hair and overall appearance of Sekrit, except the difference being she is younger.

Also, when I listen carefully to the occasional voice in my head, it’s clear that it belongs to the girl.

My instincts tell me that this is most likely Sekrit’s dream.

I am a character in that dream…… that’s why my body is moving according to the girl’s wishes.

My actions and words are what Sekrit is imagining and the voice playing in my head is her thoughts.

「W-wait, it’s big! You’re going to break me…… hiiiih!! It’s so big, yet it doesn’t hurt! This has never happened before!」

“There was no woman who could withstand him. Furthermore, the mother was unfamiliar with men and couldn’t even offer the slightest resistance”

Eventually, I began to fuck Sekrit’s mother.

I think the character was too violent and lewd, but I guess that’s how she imagines me.

「It feels great. I’m gonna cum inside…… become my woman. Got it?」

「Y-Yes…… I will! Sekrit, I’m sorry…… your mom is going to become this person’s woman!!」

“My mother fell easily. We became this person’s property”

What kind of person am I to Sekrit?

Next came scenes of a divergent nature.

The mother gets entangled with a bad knight and I viciously beat him up.

Sekrit was about to be kidnapped by a slave trafficker, but I rushed in and killed all the enemies.

The boat we rode together capsized and I had to swim to shore while carrying the two of them.

I cheat with girls in a bar, get chased around by the enraged mother, then trip over Sekrit’s foot and get captured.

The mother and I resolve problem after problem, and then we flirt endlessly afterwards, while Sekrit watches silently.

The girl’s thoughts flow into my head.

“No matter what happens, he saves the day”

“If I stay in his arms, everything will be okay”

“Sometimes he has an incurable habit of philandering”

“Why did things have to be this way”

I am here, but as a bystander.

My words and actions are all nothing more than Sekrit’s imagination.

Even so, she really understands a majority of how I speak and conduct myself――well, there are plenty of things I want to say about certain details, but anyways, I’ll continue watching Sekrit’s dream a bit longer.

It’s another new scene.

This time, it looks like the inside of an average home.

「Hrgh, my body is heavy.」

The mother’s stomach is large.

I guess she’s pregnant.

「I’m going to sleep first.」

「Sure.」

After the mother disappears in the bedroom, I drink a cup of alcohol and slowly stand up.

“He can’t embrace a pregnant woman. In that case”

I’m getting a bad feeling.

I set foot into the room of the little Sekrit’s room.

After a few seconds of admiring the soundly sleeping girl, I pounce on top of her.

“That lust gets vented on an immature girl like me”

「N, nmmu!?」

I dive under the futon and seal Sekrit’s lips, holding her body still with my weight.

Someone who would lay hands on the daughter because the mother is pregnant and can’t have sex is the worst.

On top of that, attacking someone in their sleep under the influence of alcohol, that’s undoubtedly what a scum does.

“What a despicable person”

Hey. Although I want to object, this is a dream and I can’t move my mouth.

「You’re 13 now, huh…… fumu, that’s old enough.」

I fondle Sekrit’s breasts.

Despite her young age, slight mounds are forming on her chest and her ass and thighs are displaying a womanly roundness.

“This guy doesn’t sleep with kids, yet judges the 13-year old me to be a full-fledged woman. If he was more intoxicated with alcohol, I would have been violated. My breasts and ass have developed well although pubic hair will not grow until 15 years of age. That actually stimulates his lust”

Sekrit must have experienced a growth spurt considering how tall she is now.

This is her dream, so this part is true.

「I’m going to be affectionate with you, just stay still for a while.」

With her lips still covered, I pull off the little girl’s clothes and open her legs wide.

“There is a hopeless difference in physical size for me to resist. Plus, if I make a fuss and my mother finds out, the relationship might be ruined and I can’t risk that.”

I kiss the small dark-skinned neck of the little girl and pin her waist down.

“Besides, this person saved me along with my mother. It’s natural for me to develop feelings towards this man. There’s no way a girl of suitable age has no interest in sex. I would hear the sounds of those two making love every night and imagine him mounting me――”

These past couple of explanations have been pretty long-winded.

She’s combining a sadistic fetish with a masochistic fetish.

Does that mean she’s fine with being violated in a similar manner?

「……I won’t, resist.」

The young Sekrit mutters quietly and gracefully wraps her arms around my back.

I smile triumphantly…… and then thrust my hips forward.

“As mother and child, becoming this man’s woman together―― would have been nice”

Rays of light stream in and everything vanishes like mist.

“I love――”

When I opened my half-closed eyes, light shines through the window.

It was wide open?

「Uunn.」

At the same time, I hear a somewhat displeased grumble from the woman in my arms.

「Did you wake up?」

「……just now. I have a crick in my neck…… your arm is too hard.」

Sekrit and I seemed to have woken up together.

I hug Sekrit, still dazed from the deep slumber.

「Hey, let’s play around with losing virginity next time.」

「……not a bad idea.」

Normally, I would be met with sarcasm and scorn, but I guess she’s still half asleep.

「If you think about it calmly though, you’re older, so that won’t work out.」

「……it’s a dream, don’t worry about the details.」

Sekrit stretches.

Her shapely breasts jiggle.

「In the first place, nothing will be so convenient like in a dream―――― hey, wait.」

Sekrit turns her head to me like a gear that doesn’t have enough lubrication and stares blankly.

「Why. Do you. Know?」

「Hah, hah, hah.」

I dodge Sekrit as she tries to grab me and rain kisses on her.

「Don’t sweat the small stuff. Fufu, I love you.」

「Eeei, don’t say anything! It’s going to fade!」

As we clamor about, an unrestrained knock from outside interrupts us.

「Pardon me…… substitute captain, are you awake?」

It’s the voice of the female officer.

「If you have woken up, I ask that you open the door, and I request that you do so quickly if possible.」

「Hmmm, sorry, not possible.」

Last night, we got too excited and threw away the key so the door can’t be opened from the inside.

An iron plate secures this door tightly, making it quite durable, so it would be a pain to kick down and something I don’t want to do.

「Pry it open from outside with a crowbar or use a saw to cut――」

「My apologies. We don’t…… have time! Please take cover!!」

Getting a bad premonition, I pick Sekrit up and roll under the bed with her.

Simultaneously, there was an explosion and a huge dent was created in the door.

The crushed door falls inside the room and I see a woman standing imposingly in the smoke.

It wasn’t the female officer.

「……you two.」

It was Ivanna.

Sailors are beside her sprinkling water in the vicinity of the door.

Apparently, a small amount of gunpowder was used to blast open the door.

「Hey, that’s a bit reckless, don’t you think? Someone is going to get hurt.」

Ivanna has no intention of listening.

「Not only did you steer the ship off on your own, you even boarded the enemy vessel and messed up naval operations without informing me, the admiral……」

「We ran into some trouble. Dolta’s captain suddenly――」

Ivanna stomps her foot down and cuts the sentence short, then throws the underwear scattered on the floor at me.

「I’ve already heard the circumstances from them! That’s why I asked them to bring you to me!」

Ivanna was angry afterwards and beat me while I was naked.

「What’s with the fishy smell in this room anyways? Did you feel like having sex right after fighting? Are you a barbarian!?」

By this time, the sailors have returned to their usual duties.

They don’t want to be involved with Ivanna when she’s angry.

「And you, it’s about time you put your clothes on. You better not get aroused on my ship, you slut!」

This battleship was captured by us, but she’d get even angrier if I interject, so I let it slide.

「He was so turned on that he tore all my clothes. I don’t have any to change into.」

「Hey.」

You told me to do it.

「So that’s how we proceeded to fuck like animals…… and ended up like this. Funny, right?」

Sekrit exposes her bloated stomach.

Under the morning sun, her navel area is vividly swollen like that of a pregnant woman.

「Wha-!?」

Sekrit grins when Ivanna’s eyes open wide in shock, and tauntingly rubs her belly in a loving manner.

Packed inside is my almost-solid seed.

It still hasn’t come out yet.

「You…… are you challenging me?」

Ivanna, after confirming no soldiers are around her, takes my hand and guides it to her breasts.

「Kuku, he licked my breasts plenty yesterday. Plus, I emptied his balls, so simply feeling your breasts won’t do……」

Sekrit speaks confidently, and she’s certainly right since I’ve expended myself and am disconnected from any sexual desire.

A little fondling shouldn’t excite me…… or so I thought.

When I squeezed Ivanna’s breasts, a warm liquid squirts on my hand.

「Unlike that fake pregnant woman over there, I’ve given birth to your child. It’s natural for me to lactate.」

I thought I could flirt a little longer with Sekrit after that dream, but this is unbearable.

「Even though it’s late, I want to hear a detailed report. Come with me to the Suvorov.」

「Sure, I got it. Sekrit, get some rest until we reach Patena.」

「……」

Ivanna promptly covers up her breasts and I follow her, my hand still wet from her milk.

「……you, get on all fours.」

「Huh? Uoooh! S-stop! Nuoooh!!」

I hear the pissed off Sekrit kicking the ass of a sailor behind me.

「You, give me your clothes. Everything except underwear.」

「N-no way! Noooo!!」

I hear the female officer scream.

After being invited into the captain’s quarters of the Suvorov and allowed to drink some breast milk, I met up with Leopolt.

He was also riding the Suvorov because he wanted to observe a surface battle.

Ivanna and Sekrit aren’t here so I guess I’ll have a somewhat serious conversation.

「Did you get a good look at a fleet battle?」

「Yes.」

Leopolt nods.

Celia would have shown me the notepad she frantically scribbled on, but this guy doesn’t take notes.

He imprints everything in his head.

「What’s your opinion on this battle?」

「Our allies suffered slight damage to a few ships and with the ability of our commander, I’d consider this a complete victory, however-」

Hurry and say what comes after.

「While it might be a complete victory, it’s a far-cry from annihilating the enemy. In addition, the enemy divided their fleet in half so we actually have to face more of them.」

「Are you saying that it’s impossible to wipe them out?」

If Ivanna heard this, she might get too angry and a blood vessel on her head might pop.

Leopolt nods emotionlessly.

「Based on the fight last night that I saw, it’s impossible to wipe them out through fleet battle. It’s doable if we win several battles consecutively, however in that case, I predict the enemy will avoid a decisive battle and disperse again.」

And that would mean they could repeatedly attack in sporadic intervals.

We can’t get rid of the threat of a landing.

「There is one way. If we combine the fleet’s power with a trap on land…… I believe it’s possible to annihilate the enemy fleet in one battle.」

I exchange looks with Leopolt for a few seconds and then pound the desk with my fist.

「Prioritize it. You will devote yourself to drawing up the plan to annihilate the enemy fleet. Pass all the command on land to Tristan and tell him if he complains, Celia will kick his ass.」

「Understood.」

Hopefully that will work.

Two Days Later. Patena.

「Did you see that ship?」

「Yeah, it’s just as big as a Federation battleship. That kind of ship was moving around?」

「It was Hardlett-sama who stole it, incredible right?」

Maintenance is being done on the Federation fleet in the Patena port after the fight ended.

This time, we didn’t have any ships that sunk or were damaged heavily enough to be scrapped.

「We actually increased our ship count by one.」

Being repaired in front of me is the enemy battleship which we boarded and captured.

With the crash from the Dolta and damage suffered from large-scale fires and flooding, some repairs need to be completed before this ship can be used.

「Mending the mast that Aegir-sama shook is taking the most effort.」

Celia is beside me.

Her battalion is also in Patena so she can stay here together.

「It’s huge that we were able to steal a battleship. Not only that, it’s a battleship that dealt with an all-out artillery battle. It’s probably worth a small fleet of combat ships.」

She says as Sekrit comes over to me on the opposite side.

Celia quickly wedges herself in between us.

「Sniff sniff…… sniff sniff.」

Celia circles around Sekrit and smells her.

「Aegir-sama’s scent is on her…… he didn’t get close to this woman last night, so why……」

That’s because plenty of sources of my scent are inside her belly.

None of them came out yet, huh.

Another voice calls out.

「Hmph, it’s annoying, but this ship itself is certainly powerful. However, if there are no skilled crew members, it’s no better than a raft. This thing is nothing more than an ornament.」

「Crew members……well, I was thinking of having Sekrit act as the captain.」

When I said that, Ivanna gets visibly upset while Sekrit snorts like she doesn’t understand what’s wrong.

「It makes me puke to think this woman will be captain. Supposing that’s allowed to happen…… it’s not like she can move the ship by herself.」

「I guess not.」

No matter how talented Sekrit is, if she has no sailors to act as her arms and legs, the ship won’t move.

From steering to operating the sails and cannons……for a battleship, hundreds of people are needed.

Goldonia has no proficient sailors and Ivanna isn’t going to permit sailors to transfer from other ships.

Sekrit, also knows that, and rests her chin on her hands regrettably.

「We need to recruit a crew first. If we can gather veteran personnel from merchant ships and then train them…… it’s unlikely we can make it in time for the next battle though.」

Sekrit stands up and walks toward the captured battleship.

「Nevertheless, we can’t let it go unnamed. Let’s give it one right off the beginning. I propose to name the ship Levi――」

Sekrit’s beautiful voice is drowned out by an oppressive hoarse voice.

「Super Aless, how about that!!?」

Unpleasant macho men come storming in.

「No, that’s not good! Aless Muscle is a fitting name for this ship!」

Aless soldiers get attracted by the loud voice and crowd around.

「Battle Aless, that sounds better!」

「What about Aless The Fire!」

「We don’t want bad luck that gets this ship burned.」

Ivanna’s jab doesn’t reach their ears.

Sekrit turned emotionless beside the rowdy men who badgeringly suggest potential names.

「Eei, they’re all not good enough!!」

The one who stopped the mania was an even more oppressive roar.

Gildress was standing next to me before I knew it.

Celia desperately tries to get in between us.

「Everyone, listen! This giant and stately ship will be named Aless of Aless, a manly name for this powerful ship!!」

The Aless soldiers stir.

Ivanna has already disappeared.

「Ooh, what a terrific name! The word ‘Aless’ is in there twice!」

「The enemy will falter simply by hearing the name! A true man’s ship!」

「As expected of our king, Gildress! Aless of Aless is indeed the greatest ship!!」

The bellowing cheers dominate the area.

Their chorus of ‘Aless of Aless’ resounds all the way to the rank-and-file soldiers and repairmen.

「……」

Sekrit, slightly downward looking, exchanges her arm with a click, and I start to hear the familiar whirring sound of her spinning arm.

「Wait, don’t be hasty. After the idiots calm down, we can easily change the ship’s name.」

Besides, we have our prospective crew in sight.

We just have to use their physical strength to cover their lack of skill.

「We can go wild again.」

When I hug her close, Sekrit seems to have cheered up a little.

–Third Person POV–

――At the Same Time. Capital, Goldonia – On the Defense Line.

「20-man squad, everyone line up!」

「「「Yessir.」」」

South Yuguria soldiers stand in a row.

The female in the center appears to be an officer, while the other 19 are wearing armor for common soldiers.

「We have orders from the main army. We’ll begin out attack in the evening and snatch that hill away from Goldonia――repeat it!」

The officer waits for a response from the adjacent soldier.

However, no matter how much time passed, nothing was said.

「……hey, repeat the order…… hey…… hey, Christoph!!」

「Huh!? Is it me!!?」

Everyone else snickers at him.

「Who else but you!? You can’t even call back the order!!?」

Everyone burst out in laughter.

They weren’t making fun of the man who made a mistake.

「Anyways, we’re starting the attack at evening. Let’s do our best so we don’t die.」

「Stupid, you’re supposed to say, “fulfill your mission at the cost of your lives!”」

Zillia, the officer, scolds Christoph and drops a fist on his head, but there was a smile on her face.
