Chapter 163: Reunion with Iria
When we reached the castle, they were in the middle of trying to repair the gate by nailing boards over it.
Once they realized we weren’t orcs, they quickly opened the gate and let us in.
The people working were all women. Since they were moving their bodies and warming up, many had their sleeves rolled up or removed. People in this era wear clothes with detachable sleeves.
The moderate amount of skin exposure and moderate sweating created a nice atmosphere.
The light-nippled girl from earlier was also helping, tapping with a hammer.
Hm?
Esty-san approached the girl.
"Hello. Sara-san. It’s been a while."
"Ah. Esty-san. Long time no see."
It seems the light-nippled girl is an acquaintance of Esty-san.
"Um. Who is this person?"
Sara, the light-nippled girl, tilted her head and looked up at me.
"It’s me. Me! It’s me!"
"Ah. That voice... You’re Lord Cosmic Golden Knight Sahar Galactic!"
"It’s long, so Masaru is fine."
"Yes. Masaru-sama. Thank you for protecting the castle. On behalf of the lord, I express my gratitude."
Sara-chan bowed her head gracefully. What a polite child.
I need to return the panties I borrowed earlier.
But pulling out panties in front of other people feels awkward. What should I do? Should I keep hiding it inside my long coat? No, leaving her without panties feels wrong.
"Sara-chan. About the thing I borrowed earlier—"
"Ah. Yes."
She held out her hand. Is she not embarrassed about people seeing the panties or knowing she lent them to me? Maybe because she’s around 10 years old, she doesn’t mind.
When I handed her the white cloth, Sara-chan took it and went outside the castle gate.
"What are you doing?"
"I’m decorating it in front of the gate like this."
"Why?"
"This cloth belongs to someone Big Sister knows."
"Eh?"
It wasn’t Sara-chan’s panties?
"This cloth is something Big Sister gave to her savior. But that person went missing while riding a horse-mare and dropped this cloth. So we display it in front of the gate in case that person notices it."
"I see..."
"Yes. We put it away inside the gate when the orcs attacked, but on sunny days we display it like this."
Ah. From the story, this girl must be Iria’s little sister. Now that she mentions it, she does look like a grade-school version of Iria.
But this story... I have a very strong sense of déjà vu.
In short, this cloth is the one I received from Iria — it’s Iria’s clothing.
After my full-naked reincarnation, Lucia gave me clothes made with magic. Later, I met Iria when her clothes were ragged and she was half-naked. I gave her my clothes, and in exchange I received Iria’s clothes and wrapped them around my crotch.
So the dense scent from a 10-year-old girl that made me go "Uhyoo~" and get excited... was actually my own scent...? No, that’s wrong. The clothes should have been steeped in Iria’s scent. She was sweating a lot from fighting, so that scent was definitely Iria’s!
There’s no way the dense scent of Iria would disappear after I wore it around my waist for half a day.
No, more importantly — Sara-chan just said "on behalf of the lord." What does that mean?
What happened to Iria?
The gate was on the verge of being breached, yet Iria was nowhere to be seen.
Esty-san, who probably has the same question, asked Sara-chan in a low, cautious voice.
"Um. Sara-san. Where is Iria-san?"
"That’s... Big Sister..."
Her expression darkened. What does that mean?
Sara-chan started walking, so she seems to be guiding us to Iria.
Before following Sara-chan, I asked Shepa for a favor.
"Shepa, stay near the gate. If orcs or anyone approaches from outside, bark and let us know."
"Got it!"
"Just until the gate is repaired. I’m counting on you."
"Yeah!"
Good. With Shepa at the gate, we’ll notice if the orcs come back right away.
Esty-san and I exchanged glances, then followed Sara-chan.
"Sara-chan. Did something happen to Iria?"
"Big Sister fought the orcs and..."
"...!"
Don’t tell me she got her ass raped and is pregnant with an orc baby, her mind broken?!
Damn it. I’ll use my cock to scoop out every last drop of orc semen from Iria’s ass!
There’s a baseless theory that the coronal ridge of the cock curves back to scoop out other men’s semen from a woman’s vagina. I don’t want to touch orc semen with my cock, but for Iria’s sake I’ll endure it. I’ll scoop out the orc semen with my coronal ridge!
No — I have wind-pressure masturbation. I’ll use the power of wind to push out all the semen inside her ass!
We were guided to the third floor of the main tower. There were two doors. One was open, and a blonde female knight had collapsed with her upper body sticking out of the room. Her arms and chest were wrapped in bandages. She was wrapped so thoroughly that for a moment I thought it was a half-naked mummy ero-cosplay.
A sword lay right beside her, so it looked like she had tried to go fight and collapsed.
"Big Sister!"
Sara-chan rushed over in a panic.
"Ugh... Sara...? Take me... downstairs... I have to fight too..."
"It’s okay, Big Sister. The orcs were driven off by Lord Cosmic Golden Knight Sahar Galactic."
"...Eh? What did you say?"
"Lord Cosmic Golden Knight Sahar Galactic drove away the orcs."
"Cosmic...? Eh?"
...For some reason, having someone repeatedly call me Cosmic Golden Knight Sahar Galactic in a serious situation is a bit embarrassing.
I crouched down beside Iria.
"It’s me. Cosmic Golden Knight Sahar Galactic, also known as Daiichi Masaharu."
"Masaru...! Thank goodness... You’re safe."
"I’m sorry for worrying you."
Even though Iria herself was heavily injured, she had been worried about me.
"What’s with that long name..."
"No no, isn’t there something else you should be asking about?"
"Esty... I see. So you guided Masaru here."
"Yes. It just kind of happened."
"Right now a dog girl with a better nose than me is watching the gate, so if anyone approaches from outside she’ll let us know. So please rest easy."
"I see..."
Hm?
From the way she said "a dog girl with a better nose than me," it seems Esty-san hasn’t hidden the fact that she’s a fox girl from Iria.
"I’ll carry you to the bed for now."
I picked Iria up. This time there was zero ero involved. I could tell she had beautifully sized breasts that fit perfectly in my hands even through the bandages, but I didn’t grope them. Looking closely at the bandages, I could faintly see the bulge where her nipples were, but I didn’t stare.
Avoiding the bandaged areas, I gently carried Iria into the room. There was a bed, so I laid her down. Blood was seeping through the bandages — it looked painful.
The bed was the same straw-filled type as the ones in the huts we stayed at during the journey and in Rafilia-san’s room. But as expected of the lord’s room, there was a clean white sheet and a thin quilt.
"Iria... I’m sorry. If I had arrived just a little sooner...!"
"I’m sorry for showing you such a pathetic sight. Every time I meet you, I’m always on the verge of death. I..."
"Don’t worry about it. Orcs are the natural enemy of female knights, after all."
I’m glad your ass is safe. If you had been captured you would have been turned into a breeding sow.
I’d like to see a female knight turned into a breeding sow and having a mental breakdown, but that would be too pitiful. I’ll keep the violation fantasies in my head only.
—-
It took so long.
Even I’m surprised at how much time it took for the reunion with Iria.
Traveling long distances in a medieval world is really tough, huh.
Now that we’ve reunited, next time I want to reconfirm how weak her anus is.
