SLIME LEGION

Chapter 20: Carmela

Currently, I was seated underneath a tree in the garden, enjoying the morning Sun with a smile while Moressa massaged me.

I didn’t even know she was this good at it.

My intention in bringing her here was to find out what exactly she and Evangeline had been doing and why. As much as it was disturbing to think they could even try to alter my memories, I knew from the bond that they wouldn’t harm me. So, there had to be some reason for it—a GOOD reason.

And that was what I was trying to get out of her before I somehow ended up like this...

On the grass.

On the grass, as she pressed up from behind me, using different techniques to elicit satisfying cracks from every joint in my body. Occasionally, she would lie straight up against my back, and I could feel her melons pressing against me. I knew she was doing this intentionally to tease me...

I should stop her.

But...

*Crack.*

"Ahh~"

I felt like I would melt. Such divine hands... how is she even this good?

Wait, I can’t forget my original intentions. She’s obviously doing this to distract—

Huh?

What’s she doing?!

"Master..."

I felt her sultry voice against my ear. She was on me again, and I could feel her melons squeezed against my back. But that wasn’t what froze me right now. No, it was the slender hands holding Lorel Junior.

"I can ease the muscles there too~" she purred.

Then, her other hand went through the opposite side and grasped my fully turgid member...

HOW DID IT END UP LIKE THIS?!

"...What are you doing, Moressa? We’re—"

...Oh my God.

....Did she just nibble my ear?

"Shhh, Master. It is my duty as your personal attendant and most diligent bond to ease your stress. It’s already sooooo big and swollen from not venting your urges all this time. It must hurt a lot, and it must be hard for you to think with something like this in your pants. Your liquid needs to be released."

She squeezed it, and I grunted.

I quickly tried to move, but then her legs hooked around mine. Plus, she enforced more of her strength, keeping me pinned beneath her.

SHIT! WHERE IS MORESSA, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT HER! SHE SHOULD BE COOL-HEADED, NOT TRYING TO FUCK ME IN THE GARDEN WITH ALL THESE EYES WATCHING!!!

Slowly, her hands tried to slide into my pants.

"Stop struggling, Master. I’m doing this for your own good."

"YOU BITCH!!!"

I heard and felt a murderous aura. The next instant, I heard a static sound like electricity, and suddenly, I wasn’t on the grass anymore. I was by a far bench close to the second fountain, just before the swimming pool.

It wasn’t far from the garden, so I could see a pink-haired girl with a dagger standing at a standstill against Moressa, who was holding a sword.

Wait. That lightning... that’s Moressa’s affinity...

Did she bring me here, then rush back to fight Carmela...?

Then how fast is she?

... WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT THOUGHT JUST NOW?!

I don’t know why, but an image of her fucking me at lightning speed corrupted my thoughts.

Argh, with so many beautiful girls surrounding me, I’m starting to lose my mind...

"STOP FIGHTING!!"

I quickly rushed forward to stop them from getting injured.

*Boom!!!*

A burst of lightning erupted. I was pushed back from the force. After that, what followed were just flashes of lightning and the instant, fast clanking of metal. Just how fast are they going? I can’t even see—

*Boom!*

I saw Carmela colliding against a tree.

Welp, that confirms it. Moressa is stronger.

"I’ll kill you, I swear!!!"

She vanished...

Literally vanished. What followed was Moressa being covered by lightning and then seemingly disappearing from sight. But I knew it was just that I wasn’t fast enough to see what was going on...

At this point, one of them is going to get hurt.

Fuck it.

I swallowed my fear and rushed blindly into the middle of the garden—

*Dang!!!*

I saw Moressa shielding me from what I recognized to be a dagger dropping to the ground from her parry. Further up was a horrified-looking Carmela. freewёbnoνel.com

"I... I didn’t mean to... I... I’m sorry, I’m so sorry."

She looked genuinely scared... But nothing happened... Wait, nothing happened because of Moressa... Did Carmela throw that dagger?!

... I’m royally screwed in this world, huh?

I’m so weak, I’m practically cannon fodder.

"Are you hurt?"

Moressa had dropped her sword and was examining every atomic detail of my body.

"I’m okay," I said confidently, holding her wrist to stop her from stripping me naked in the name of making sure I wasn’t harmed.

"... It’s all my fault," she said. "You almost died. I... "

I stopped her.

"Not another word. I’m alive, right? Also, it’s not your fault... if you two would just stop trying to kill yourselves," I said.

She bit her lip. I walked past her to Carmela, who was on her knees. Her other dagger had been discarded so far away that I would have to run just to reach it.

"... Please... Don’t leave me... I won’t do it again. I’m sorry," she was crying...

Hm. I’ve noticed something the old Lorel never noticed. For some reason, these girls are emotionally dependent on me to a terrifying degree. Could it be related to their past...? Or maybe the bond? Could it be why I’m also so composed—why their clearly lunatic behavior feels so natural to me, almost like kids playing?

That has to be it.

I got down on my knees as well.

I placed a hand on her shoulder. "Look at me, Carmela."

She was hesitant at first. Her entire face was wet with tears, and her skin was flushed red.

"I’m only ever going to leave you the day I die," I said seriously. Because it was true—the bond was for life, so she would always be with me. Plus, seeing how weak I am, it’s clear I need them.

I hugged her.

"That doesn’t mean I won’t punish you for what you did. What did I say about trying to kill the others?"

"...M-Master will punish me?"

I ignored whatever she was rambling, stood up, and took her into a princess carry. I turned and could see an irritated-looking Moressa, but I ignored it.

It’s probably the bond, because I can’t explain why I always feel so much more drawn to Carmela than the other girls. I always want to protect her.

But I should probably not show this favorability too much.

It’s likely the reason for all the conflict. Could it be why she and the other member were trapped in that mansion? Some scheme to keep them away from me because I cared more about them?

...Eh, that feels like overkill.

...All this scheming couldn’t have been because of just that...

...Right?

I looked down and saw Carmela looking so happy. Her earlier terror had completely vanished, and I felt better. But just then...

"YOUR HIGHNESS!!!"

A servant rushed over. Two of them, actually.

What is it now?

"Some men just arrived from the capital."

"What...?"

"It’s the Lady Nirai."

...Oh, fuck.
