Vol. 2 - Chapter 2.5 - The Slaves Of The Phantom Ship (5)
(Uhe he he he! I'm going to go all the way todaaaayyyyy!!)
"Wh-WHOA AA AA AA!?"
The moment she grabbed Suzuki's head with both hands and tried to press it against her crotch. The end of the mattress bed rose, with the sheets flying in the air.
(…Eh–?)
Nephira stopped moving with a jolt.
"Such a proof of loyalty, I have never heard of it–!!"
Nephira's eyes widened in astonishment. She was surprised to see Excella standing on the bed.
"Wha–!? Excella!? W-Why the hell are you here!!"
"Because I'm Lord Hero's slave!"
(T-Then, you were already in the room before I arrived!? And then, you hid yourself in the bed…!!)
The embarrassment of being seen in her own foolishness and many other things got mixed up chaotically in her head, and Nephira screamed out loud.
"Excella, you bastaaaaard!! What a lecherous woman you are, sneaking into a man's room!!" (TL Note: The pot calling the kettle black here)
Simply putting Nephira's actions aside, Excella must also have been embarrassed. Her face turned bright red.
"I-It is a misunderstanding! I wanted to read a book together with Lord Hero!"
With these words, Excella took out an old book.
(Huhh?! WHAT even is that!? Don't LIE!)
"In any case, it is a lecherous book!!"
"It's not a disgusting book! This book is 'The Legend of the Champion Hartline'!"
"AHH!? 'The man who made women squeal hee-haw with his huge schlong', the legend of such a shameless man!!"
"What kind of legend... is THAT!! Lady Nephira! It was you! You were the one who shamelessly pushed Lord Hero onto the bed!!"
"Y-You think I assaulted Suzuki? Tha-Tha-That's ridiculous!!"
"Nephira… Excella… stop it already…"
In a soft voice, Suzuki was muttering something. But Nephira, who had become heated up, continued to argue and bicker with Excella, yelling and screaming at each other.
Eventually, Suzuki became unbearably frustrated and couldn't stand it any longer and shouted.
"I told you I'm feeling a little seasick! Both of you, get out of here alreaaaaaady!"
◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆
About an hour had passed since Duma took Nephira and the others to their cabins.
(I-It's about time, right? already slept?)
Duma walked down the dimly lit corridor. Her destination was Suzuki's cabin.
(Ahh, Suzuki! I-I can't wait to make you my very own doll, I want, I want, I want!)
Remembering how cute Suzuki was, Duma couldn't stand still. As she walked, she imagined turning Suzuki into a doll inside her head.
(C-Cute Suzuki! I'll make you a doll that will never die, and we'll be together forever and ever! O-Of course, when I go to bed, I hold him in my arms! We-We-We'll take baths together, too! I'll wash and clean e-every nook and cranny of you! Forever, and ever and ever, Suzuki will be mine! Mine and mine alone! Kike! Ke ke kike ke ke ke ke ke!)
However, as she approached Suzuki's cabin, she could hear a lot of clamorous voices. It was the voice of Nephira and the slave woman who had been with Suzuki.
"…Tsk–"
Duma clicked her tongue. The female slave could be killed instantly, but a battle with Nephira wasn't a good idea. In frustration, Duma bit her own finger with her teeth.
(C-Calm down. O-Originally, I wasn't planning to swe-sweep him away here)
That's what she told herself. It was an order from Lord Demon Lord to take Suzuki to the Imperial Capital. It would be better if he could participate in the demon training as much as possible.
And then, on the way back from the training course, she will outwit Nephira and the others and sail away with only Suzuki on board. She could make it look like a shipwreck, kidnap Suzuki, and slowly turn him into a doll. Of course, Nephira would be furious, but if she reported that it was for the sake of strengthening the Immortal Fleet, the Demon lord would not condemn or rebuke her.
(Kike kikike! I-I'll have to save the fun f-for later!)
Hearing Nephira and Excella's voices behind her, Duma turned back down the corridor with a gloating smile on her face.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
By noon the next day after departing from Leirune, Duma's ship had already arrived in the imperial capital.
(Excella was right. That was really fast.)
Takashi was deeply moved as he gazed at the streets of the imperial capital from the ship's deck. He didn't know the exact distance from Leirune to the imperial capital, but the last time he traveled by dragon carriage, the journey took about three days. Duma's ships may be faster than those of Japan, where science was more advanced.
Duma's ships, powered by magic and could travel long distances, were certainly impressive, but there was a price to pay.
(Ugh…I feel unwell…!)
Takashi was now experiencing severe seasickness. Excella spoke to him in a concerned tone.
"Lord Hero. How's your health?"
"Uh, yeah. I feel much better, I guess..."
"I'm so sorry about yesterday…"
"No. Don't worry about it."
In front of Excella, he tried to act as cheerful as possible, but, in reality, he could barely stand up. In addition to the fact that this was the first time he had traveled by ship, there was another major factor…
"Lady DumaaaaAaaa! Just like you asked, another Hyuuu! Human have been abducteEEeeDd!"
During the voyage, rotting corpses were roaming around the ship. Their stench made Takashi's seasickness even worse.
(Ahh, I feel unwell… Wait!? Right now, what did that guy just say!?)
