41. A commoner

+++

 

 

 

“We’re starting to see roof tiles~.”

 

Hancock said, expressing anticipation.

Beside her, Aran was clutching his lower back.

 

“What’s wrong?”

“…My back hurts.”

“Aww, don’t be such a baby.”

“I’m not being a baby…”

 

Hancock rolled her eyes and smacked Aran’s back, chaltssak!

 

“A god shouldn’t do that!”

“Hwik?”

 

A jolt of pain shot from his waist!

It was the result of having sex all day with over ten women.

Is even a god unable to avoid back pain from sex?

 

“Once we arrive, you’ll be moving around like nothing happened anyway.”

“Keuk.”

 

Hancock threw out an unanswerable remark.

 

“First, you’ll obviously swipe Nobunaga, who’s said to be the most beautiful woman in Nihon. After that, you’ll swipe her vassals one by one, and then even the Nihon lords and those in Goryeo… Wow, how many is that?”

“Swipe? Am I a thief?”

“I’d rather you were a thief, is what I’m saying.”

“…”

“More importantly, what will you do when we arrive? A wild sex pa-…”

“No, I won’t.”

“Sure you won’t…”

 

She had reached the point of not believing Aran’s words!

No, had she never believed him in the first place?

She asks a question, and even when he answers, she doesn’t believe him.

Just as the one-sided, exhausting conversation with Hancock was ending, Mula dove into the clouds below.

Naturally, the Dragon Chariot following behind also plunged into the clouds as if submerging.

 

Then, another landscape was revealed.

There were castles and villages everywhere, and fields stretched across a wide plain.

 

“Seeing that it’s an island, this must be Nihon.”

 

The women who had collapsed, exhausted from their vigorous exercise with Aran, began to rise one by one.

 

“Shall we jump down with some grace?”

“Gong-yu doesn’t have breasts, so there’s less resistance, so she can jump down.”

“Shut up, cow.”

“How about we jump down while having group sex with our Jagi?”

“…Cut it out, you idiot.”

 

Aran ignored the childish bickering and looked out at the wide(?) land.

 

“What’s that army?”

 

Countless troops were surrounding one area.

 

“That’s what they call the ‘Nobunaga Encirclement’.”

 

The answer came from Niwa Nagahide, who had come as an envoy.

 

“Ah, the one you mentioned before.”

“Yes. Fortunately, it’s still the same. Uesugi must have been putting the brakes on it.”

“Who’s Uesugi?”

“A lord who reveres justice and Bushido. She hates anything cowardly the most.”

“Hmm… Is she like Theodora?”

 

Justice…

As soon as Aran heard that, he felt a sudden urge to defile her and raised his head.

And at the same time, self-reproach reared its head as well.

 

‘I’ve really become trash…’

 

He felt complicated, but he didn’t think he should change it.

 

“But that won’t last long either. She’s just another lord, after all.”

“Really? Hmm…”

 

Aran pondered for a moment.

Then, he secretly wore a sly smile.

 

“Everyone, would you go to Owari first? I remembered something I need to do.”

“Ah, you’re going to violate her?”

“He’s probably going to enslave that lord named Uesugi. Poor thing.”

“I can’t stop you, Aran.”

“N-no, why would you think that?”

 

He tried to gloss over it, but they had already seen through him!

 

“It would be strange if we didn’t know.”

 

Hancock clicked her tongue, tsk tsk, and shook her head.

 

“Ahem… Anyway… Shouldn’t we deal with that army as soon as possible?”

“Nye~ Nye~ That’s right~.”

“It’s okay. This older sister respects Aran’s sense of self-importance.”

“…”

 

Aran’s head was throbbing.

But he couldn’t give up in the face of this much adversity(?).

 

“A-anyway, I’ll be back, so go to Owari first.”

“How exciting.”

“It’s for the greater good.”

 

Aran said shamelessly and jumped from the sky before he could hear anything more.

 

“…I clearly told him to be careful yesterday.”

 

Cornelia clicked her tongue.

Swaeeeeek!

 

A tremendous tearing sound echoed from the sky.

 

“Huh?”

“What is it?”

 

The soldiers who were eating looked up at the sky.

 

“?!”

 

There, countless things that looked like dots were falling.

 

“Wh-what is it?”

 

An ominous feeling.

 

One of them fell even faster and landed in the center of the barracks.

 

 

Kwahang!

 

 

It landed with a rough explosion and a cloud of dust.

At the same time, the countless things floating in the sky also fell and were embedded in the ground like prison bars around each soldier.

 

“What is this?”

 

Now that they looked closely, they were fairly well-forged swords.

About eight swords per person.

Each about 2 meters long, they were somehow very firmly embedded, and they didn’t break or bend, so they couldn’t be moved at all.

 

“What’s going on!”

 

And then, Takeda and Uesugi, who had sensed the energy, and each of their generals rushed over.

 

“G-general-nim!”

“What is this…?”

 

The sight of tens of thousands of soldiers trapped in sword bars.

Could such an absurd thing happen?

 

 

 

“I can’t really kill women, so I just locked them up.”

 

 

 

As if answering that, a figure walked out of the rising smoke.

A man with an ordinary impression.

But there was something sticky in his gaze.

 

‘Oh!’

 

He, Aran, scanned the women who appeared to be generals, and then his eyes lit up as he discovered two striking beauties.

 

One was an orange-haired older sister(?) with an enormous amount of exposure, and the other was a pure older sister(?) with dark navy hair grown to her waist.

 

“Wow… Aren’t you embarrassed, Onee-san? You’re practically naked.”

 

Aran spoke to the woman wearing red armor.

There were about two flags with strange symbols attached to the armor, but Aran didn’t recognize them.

 

“Before that, who are you? Judging by the fact that you jumped from the sky, you don’t seem like an ordinary guy… Could you be Aran?”

 

She was slightly surprised and drew her sword.

 

“Perhaps… Aran?”

 

Uesugi also drew her sword.

She was frowning deeply, because if a man who couldn’t handle mana fell from that high up and was unharmed, it could only be explained by Aran.

 

“Huh? You know me? I’m honored.”

“…”

“Oho. So you’re the ‘enemy of women.’ Good! Uesugi! Let’s get him!”

 

Takeda said that and immediately charged.

Her vassals who served her also charged together, but that wouldn’t work on Aran.

 

He lightly dodged the incoming sword and punched Takeda, who was wearing no armor, in the abdomen.

 

Ppeoeong – !

 

He just hit flesh, but it sounded like a cannonball exploding.

The force of the impact sent the warriors who were charging from around him flying in all directions, and Takeda, who was hit directly, flew away as fast as the speed of light and crashed.

 

“…”

 

Aran realized his mistake after hitting her.

Even in his male state, Tier 7 has been unlocked, but he’s so lazy that he can’t properly control his power.

But he just hit her directly…

 

“Ah, sorry… What if she died…”

 

Aran scratched his head, genuinely not knowing what to do.

First, just in case, he chanted a new skill, ‘Potion Field’.

 

‘Potion Field’ is a great recovery transcendental magic that causes all molecules within a certain range to take on the components of a potion and heal each other, even without rain.

The scary thing about this is that potions only heal living things, so in the case of inanimate molecules, they heal living things nearby.

 

In other words, the more inanimate objects there are around and the fewer living things, the more the real-time recovery increases. When you consider things like the dirt and rocks on the ground and the air in the atmosphere, there are bound to be more inanimate objects than living things.

 

In short, being within the area of the Potion Field means that you won’t die no matter what you do.

The disadvantage is that it doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe.

 

Of course, Aran created this outrageous magic, and no one else can chant it even if they know the formula.

 

 

Kwahang!

 

Perhaps because of the power of the Potion Field, Takeda threw off some heavy rocks and stood up.

 

“Huk… Huk…”

 

The armor was fairly intact, but the helmet was broken and the flag pole was bent.

 

“Y-you monster…!”

“Whew. She’s alive. That’s a relief. I need to use her, so she can’t die.”

 

Takeda and Uesugi were furious at his words, but they couldn’t easily rush in.

 

‘That just now… I couldn’t see it at all… What did he do?’

 

Aran hit Takeda, but Uesugi couldn’t see anything.

Aran was just standing still, but Takeda and her generals flew away on their own.

 

But that couldn’t be the case.

Aran must have done something.

 

 

“Nobunaga is a valuable vassal, so it would be a shame to lose her because of something like this. So, I’ll have you guys sacrifice yourselves instead.”

“Shut up! Uesugi! Let’s go again!”

“…Wait a moment.”

“What are you waiting for? Huh? Is your nickname Waiting?”

“I didn’t see his attack. It’s just foolish to rush in when we don’t know anything.”

“Oh, is that so?”
