Part 1
We returned to the inn after purchasing my ideal slave.
The girl from the Ice Wolf race I bought has a high total talent value and a perfect distribution. I can tweak my own talent values’ distribution, but I can’t do it to others, so this is a great help for me.
In addition, she has excellent skills and abilities, and she’s hiding the best talent possible.
The fact that she’s a beautiful girl is also important. It makes the matter of increasing her level limit all the easier. Men were out of the question from the start, but I would also hesitate a bit if it was an ugly girl.
I laid her on the bed and took off her clothes. I’m not going to attack her yet, I’m just going to take care of her.
I wiped her body using hot water and a cloth I had prepared. She must not have had the opportunity to clean herself properly in the last few days. The cloth quickly becomes darker and darker.
It also seems like she wasn’t able to eat anything nutritious, since she’s very skinny. I have to feed her something good. If it continues like this, she’s going to lose a lot of weight soon. I can’t get excited over skin and bones.
After I cleaned her, I dressed her again. I bought new clothes for her.
“Well, I should first heal her to the minimum she needs for recovery. Heal.”
I use Heal on the girl from the Ice Wolf race. I heal her external wounds and also restore her fallen strength. At the same time, I also read her memories.
“Hou, I see. So this is what she wants. Rejoice, Setsuna. Your wish will come true.”
The reason I read her memories is to make it easier to negotiate when she wakes up. If you know their memories, it’s easier to guide their thoughts. I’m sure of that. I’m convinced I can make this girl seek me out of her own will.
I left her with the mysterious disease and minimum recovery. This is necessary for my performance.
Now, let’s make her feel gratitude towards me.
I mixed a potion to cure the mysterious disease and a potion to restore her strength, which is necessary for Setsuna’s recovery, and then I also added a special medicinal porridge filled with nutritious ingredients. Then, I fed it all to her mouth to mouth, since she is unconscious. She swallows it all.
Part 2
Two days later, Freia and I were returning to the inn after an outing.
Today was the day of negotiating with the merchant I was selling the medicine to.
To my surprise, the negotiations went smoothly. I had expected that he would have prepared a large number of mercenaries to wait at the rendezvous point to kidnap us or use Freia as a hostage to try and get the secret of the medicine out of me. But my fears turned out to be unfounded.
“I’m surprised. To think the merchant wouldn’t try anything.”
“Isn’t that fine? We got all this money anyway. If we live a modest life, we can make this last for the rest of our lives.”
Freia was holding a small bag filled with 300 gold coins. The merchant paid 10 gold coins for each potion. Not a bad price. He must believe he can sell it for twice that amount.
300 gold coins is the equivalent of what a normal day worker earns in 25 years. It’s a big deal to earn that much in a single day.
“It’s a lot for an ordinary person. But we’re on a journey to save the world, so this much will end up being used in a magic sword and robe.”
The price of weapons enchanted with magic is exorbitant. Going for hundreds of gold coins is a common enough sight.
In order to increase our survival chances, we need lightweight clothes with high defenses. Considering this, 300 gold coins is not enough.
“We can just earn money again. It’s wonderful to be able to earn money while helping people!”
I chuckle. Freia really thinks I can only make 30 potions a day.
I can make a lot more if I wanted to, but I chose to only make 30 a day to keep their value high. In a way, I’m letting a life that could be saved die for my own benefit.
Well, that’s no need to say that out loud. After all, she thinks I’m a hero out to save the world.
Now, let’s go see my other companion. I enter the room with the bed where Setsuna is resting.
Part 3
We both look at the Ice Wolf girl sleeping on the bed.
“She hasn’t woken up yet.”
“She was weakened.”
If it wasn’t for me, Setsuna could have died already. It’s been two whole days since we brought her here and she still hasn’t woken up.
By adjusting Heal, I tried to make her wake up in just a few minutes. That’s the most convenient time for my play. The negotiations with her will require a sense of urgency.
“I think she’ll wake up soon. Her strange disease is already cured.”
She’s currently going to the phase of healing her weakened body. Inside a pot, I put in the potion and the grinded nourishing ingredients and then heat it up using alchemy.
Now, the potion with the strength-recovering porridge is ready. I put it in my mouth to feed her mouth-to-mouth.
I’ve been doing this every day for the past two days. It’s the only way to feed a bedridden person. Setsuna’s throat moves, and the potion with the strength-recovering porridge is ingested.
Unusually, her white wolf-like ears are moving. Then, her ice blue eyes open.
“Nn?!”
She wakes up and lets out a surprised voice, then she slaps my cheek. I could have dodged if I wanted to, but I decided to take it. I jumped back on my own accord and made it look like I was injured.
Setsuna stared at me and opened her mouth.
“This man, what do to Setsuna?!”
She looks at me with cold eyes. She probably thought I assaulted her in her sleep. It’s only natural she would think that.
“I could say the same to you! What a terrible thing you did!”
Freia’s light pink hair shakes as she’s furious.
“This man assaulted Setsuna. He’s the wrong.”
“That’s wrong! Keyaruga-sama was taking care of you. Even now, he was just giving you a mouthful of food. It was a legitimate act of medical treatment for you who was bedridden.”
It would be difficult for me to clear up the misunderstanding even if I explained everything properly, but Freia, who is of the same sex and has the point of view of a third party, can make things a lot more persuasive by showing her anger.
“That’s… lie.”
“It’s not a lie. For two days, while you were bedridden, he took care of you all this time. Cleaning your body, preparing medicine for you to drink, and always helping you. And this is how you repay him? I can believe this ingratitude!”
Freia spoke up at once and without pause. For the first time, the Ice Wolf girl observes her body.
“It’s not painful, and body feels light.”
“It’s no wonder. After all, Keyaruga-sama has been feeding you porridge with lots of nutrients and a specially made potion every day.”
Incidentally, the porridge sometimes contained monster meat. It was the meat that was preserved and made into jerky from the monsters I’ve hunted in the journey with Freia so far.
In order to increase the talent values of my new friends, I carry around some of the meat from the monsters we’ve eaten.
Setsuna looked at me for a moment with worry on her face, then she bowed her head.
“Mistakenly thought you were assaulting me. Sorry for hitting you.”
“That’s alright, it’s understandable for you to think that. In any case, I’m glad you’re feeling better. Let me introduce myself again, I’m Keyaruga.”
I give Setsuna a sweet smile, and all her caution disappears at once. She owes me for hitting me, after all, and also for taking care of her for 2 whole days, to top it off I even forgave her mistake. She’s completely under the impression that I’m a kind person.
“Setsuna is Setsuna. A proud Ice Wolf warrior.”
“That’s a good name. How about we shake hands now?”
I extend my hand and Setsuna grabs it and we shake hands. A perfect first greeting.
“Freia, can I ask you to buy something for dinner? I want to eat in our room tonight. Please get some ready-made food with good flavor.”
“Certainly. To celebrate Setsuna-chan’s recovery, I’m going to be a bit extravagant, Keyaruga-sama.”
“That’s fine. Also, make sure there’s a lot of meat.”
Since she’s like a wolf, Setsuna is probably going to enjoy it too.
“Understood. I’ll go buy something tasty.”
This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Freia said and then left the room.
Freia was instrumental in making me seem like a good person, but she would only be a hindrance for what’s going to happen now.
It’s time to make Setsuna truly mine and only mine.
“Now then, Setsuna, I wonder if you understand the current situation.”
“… Un, understands. Keyaruga bought Setsuna and healed me, that’s why Setsuna didn’t die.”
I laugh while clapping my hands, telling her it’s correct. Setsuna seemed troubled and conflicted over something, and then she opened her mouth.
“Thank you for saving me. The Ice Wolf race is a race that always returns the favor it receives, but Setsuna needs to go somewhere no matter what. So… sorry.”
In the next moment, Setsuna’s hand grows bigger. No, that’s wrong. She created a huge claw of ice. She thrust her hand towards me, but she formed the claws in a way that their ends are not sharp, so it seems she has no intention of killing me.
Now that’s interesting. This girl has recognized she owes me and even believes I’m a good person, yet, she’ll use any means available to reach her objective. That’s good, I like that.
But, unfortunately for Setsuna, she’s much too weak.
I dodge her outstretched hand, grab her arm and throw her with my spinning motion. Her body slams on the bed and I take out the knife I had in my pocket and put it to her throat.
“Did you not wonder why I took off your slave collar even though I don’t know your True Name?”
“… Why?”
Normally, you would never remove the slave collar from a demi-human whose True Name you don’t know.
“There is the fact that the slave collar is a hindrance for a demi-human’s treatment, since it constantly torments them. But the main reason is that I’m much stronger than Setsuna. That’s why I took it off, I don’t need it.”
By the way, I adjusted the timing when Setsuna would wake up using Heal. That’s why I was able to meet with the merchant without any worries.
“Keyaruga is strong. Who are you?”
“Just a traveling Alchemist. In any case, you were kidnapped and made into a slave, and now you’re being held down by a mere Alchemist. What can the weak Setsuna do even if she leaves here?”
Setsuna keeps silent, she knows her own weakness and powerlessness.
I saw her past with Heal. She was born in the village of the Ice Wolves. On top of that, she was born to the family known as the strongest Ice Wolf Warriors.
She was stronger than anyone her age and was called a genius. Her overwhelming high talent values and the thick blood of the Ice Wolf King in her veins manifesting as a unique skill and her genius fighting intuition can’t be shown in numbers. Truly an existence blessed by the gods.
“You can’t answer? That’s because you know the truth, don’t you? No matter what you say, you’ll just die in vain if you leave here. Setsuna is weak and can’t grow any stronger, so you can’t do anything.”
Setsuna bites her lower lip. Tears start spilling from her eyes.
It was a year ago when something changed on the genius Setsuna. Suddenly, she could no longer defeat people the same age as her.
It’s not that her fighting skills had lowered. In reality, her skills had improved more than anyone else’s. She hadn’t neglected her training. As the daughter of the strongest warrior, she tried fighting more monsters than anyone else.
She simply reached her level cap at only level 7. Her father, who wondered why she wasn’t growing stronger no matter how many monsters she defeated, got an Appraisal and found out the truth.
Still, at first, she tried to close the level gap with those around her by using her combat skills, and she had some success. But the gap in levels only grew with time.
Finally, it became impossible to beat anyone. No matter how hard she tried or how hard she worked.
No one expected anything from her anymore. The genius of the Ice Wolves became a complete failure in one go.
Unable to give up, she continued fighting monsters and honing her skills.
She was given the task of patrolling the village. It was her job to make sure the humans didn’t approach the village. It was seen as a job given to inferior warriors in the Ice Wolf race.
Then, two weeks ago, a scouting party of humans arrived. They broke through the barriers protecting the village and found out its location.
If these guys escaped, a large number of humans would come hoping to get many of the rare and expensive slaves of the Ice Wolf race.
Three of the Ice Wolves went to fight the humans while one returned to warn the village and ask for reinforcements.
The result was that all four were captured. One of them was killed miserably as an example, and another one, trembling with fear, told them the secrets of the Ice Wolf village. All three survivors were then sold into slavery.
After some time since they were made into slaves, the two other than Setsuna, who were also afflicted with the strange disease, killed themselves by biting off their tongues since they couldn’t endure the pain. The two that died were Setsuna’s friends.
But Setsuna’s friends wouldn’t be the only ones to die if things continued like this. The village will be attacked in the not-too-distant future, and all the information needed for that was given by the weak willed Ice Wolf.
Setsuna hates the people who captured them and send her friends to their death. The humans who are going to attack the Ice Wolf village, where all the people important to her are, are also going to create a tragedy.
And then there’s her weak and helpless self. If she were strong, she could have killed all the humans and prevented the information from leaking. But, because she’s weak, she put the Ice Wolf village in danger. She can’t forgive herself for that.
That’s why I’m going to give Setsuna a chance for revenge. A chance to kill the people she hates as much as she wants, a chance to say goodbye to her weak self.
“Setsuna, why don’t we negotiate? But first, let me show you my Appraisal.”
I showed Setsuna, who was still being held down, my Appraisal. This is an Appraisal I bought yesterday and prepared beforehand. The text starts from the name, and parts of it would be falsified here and there. This paper is almost impossible to falsify, that’s why it’s used for identification, but I can do it.
But I left the Hero Extra Class there without falsifying it. That’s why I showed it to Setsuna.
“Level limit increase…”
The thing that Setsuna, who went from a genius to a failure, wanted more than anything else was right there.
“Setsuna, about the Ice Wolf village, I’m sorry to say, but a large number of soldiers from Jioral Kingdom have disguised themselves as mercenaries and are marching towards it. If they’re quick, they’ll arrive by tomorrow. Even if you rush back to your village, it’ll already be too late. There’s not even time to escape, the only choice is to fight a desperate battle. Even if you add one weak Setsuna, that’s just one more Ice Wolf to be enslaved. This is a legitimate army from the most powerful country in the world, the Jioral Kingdom. The Ice Wolves will either die or become slaves.”
Ever since I saw her memories, I’ve been concerned about the Ice Wolf race and have been looking into information on them. I found out that, in Jioral Kingdom’s military, there exists a unit that poses as mercenaries and invades demi-human villages and sells them as slaves here in Ranalitta to make money, and these guys are on the move.
No, I didn’t discover this. It was in the royal guard captain’s memories that I got when I used Heal on him.
If you know that such a large army is moving, it’s easy to follow the trail of their movement and also estimate their date and time of arrival.
“Why Jioral’s soldiers?”
“Soldiers are often idle for a considerable time. Using them to raid demi-human villages is a good form of training to keep up shape and also a nice way to make money on the side, as well as a good way to level up. This is one of the most important ways to make money for Jioral.”
Setsuna’s face distorts with hatred. The country itself is trying to destroy the Ice Wolves for money. That’s something that she, someone affected by this, cannot forgive. Go on, hate them, resent them.
“Now, Setsuna, as you can see from the Appraisal, I’m strong. After all, I have the Sword Saint skill and a high status. I’m a match for a whole army. Freia, who is not here now, is also as strong as me. And I can make the weak Setsuna strong by increasing your level limit. If we join forces, the Ice Wolves might be saved. And maybe Setsuna will even become strong enough to kill the people you hate.”
Setsuna gulps. I think she’s starting to understand what I’m trying to say.
“What would it take for your help? Setsuna will do whatever it takes to become stronger and protect everyone.”
I put away the knife that was pressed on Setsuna’s neck and stood up.
“There are two conditions for me to lend my help. The first is that you must give me your True Name. You understand what that means, don’t you?”
“Understands. Setsuna will become a slave in the true sense of the word for the rest of her life. That’s fine, but only after you save the village, otherwise don’t trust you.”
“Hou, I can say the same thing to you.”
“That’s… can do nothing but ask you to trust me.”
“I understand, I’ll trust you. I’ll have you show me the sincerity of the Ice Wolf race.”
I think it’s naive, but that naiveness is the chain that will bind our hearts. A True Name can do nothing more than make a demi-humans obey orders. That’s not good enough, you need to think for yourself and do what you can with all your power. If it’s not like that, you’ll never grow or become stronger.
In order for that to happen, I have to grasp her heart tightly.
“The second condition is for you to become stronger. The level limit can be raised with the body fluids of a Hero. Saliva and blood could work, but they’re terribly inefficient. Semen is the best option.”
I said while pointing to my own crotch. It was very easy to notice my tent there. Setsuna looked at it and gulped.
“Let me be clear, I want all of your talents except your level limit. For that reason, I will kill the humans you hate and protect the Ice Wolf village. You have that much value, but if you don’t plan to change how you are now then I don’t need you. To begin with, Setsuna, do you want to stay the same? Not being able to do anything, despairing because you’re weak.”
“Setsuna… Setsuna…”
Setsuna hesitates. I’m not giving her an order, but rather a chance to do something.
“This isn’t an order. Reach out your hand and change by your own will. Don’t hesitate. This isn’t just my cock, it’s Setsuna’s future. Now choose: will you grab your future? Or will you let it go?”
If she can’t choose to grab her future here, I’m sorry, but she’s not necessary. No matter how good she may be, if she lacks the strength of heart, which is the most important thing, then she’s useless to me.
Setsuna looks straight at my crotch.
“Setsuna wants to change. Become stronger to protect everyone. Want the strength to kill everyone who kidnaps the Ice Wolves for money. That’s why…”
There was a strong determination in her expression. Even I found it beautiful.
“Setsuna will grab future.”
Out of her own will, she reached for my dick. She passed the test and grabbed her future. Not by force, but by her own will. With this, she is qualified.
For the sake of my important companion, I’ll be slaughtering all the soldiers from Jioral who are attacking the Ice Wolves. To be honest, I also don’t like them and want to kill them. It’s also going to be fun to watch Freia kill the soldiers from her home.
Hmm, I was going to fight just for Setsuna, but it seems it’ll also be interesting for me as well.
We’ll be on our way as soon as we raise her level limit. But first, there’s something she has to do.
“I have seen Setsuna’s determination. Now, let’s get started. We don’t have much time.”
I take off my pants and Setsuna’s eyes widen in surprise when she sees the sight of my dick out of my pants.
“What? First time seeing it?”
“Seen friends’ and father’s, but weren’t that big.”
So it’s her first time seen a man’s erect member.
“Then, first, gently grasp it.”
Setsuna nodded. Then, unlike before, she directly grasped my manhood. Her hand is small, soft and warm. It makes me excited.
“What next?”
“It hasn’t grown to full size yet. Squeeze it gently and lick it.”
Setsuna did as she was told, moving her hand up and down. It’s a little cold because she’s from the Ice Wolf race. She moves her hand gently as she flicks my cock.
“Good. Now put it in your mouth.”
“Nn.”
She nods shortly and puts my dick in her mouth. Her small mouth can’t hold it all inside.
“Keep moving your head up and down.”
Setsuna moves her head slowly with tears in her eyes. She’s reserved, so there’s little stimulation. I like the feeling of control, but this is frustrating.
I hold Setsuna’s head and shove my cock deep down her throat. Then, I force her to move her head up and down.
Aah, this feels good. The pleasure from using her like an object is something else.
“Nn, mmm. Nn.”
Setsuna looks like she’s in a bit of pain, but she just has to endure a bit longer. I’m about to cum.
I shove it all the way down Setsuna’s throat and release my semen there. When I pull out, Setsuna chokes and spits out my semen. I imagine it’s not just because of the pain and discomfort, but also from the disgust.
“Setsuna, you can’t just spit it out. That’s what’s going to break your level cap and make you level up.”
“… Drink.”
Saying that, Setsuna scoops the cum around her mouth with her finger and then puts it in her mouth to drink it. Next, she licks the cum that had spilled to the floor. The sight of that was very lewd and arousing.
“With this, Setsuna will become stronger.”
The girl smiles with an enraptured face. I realized I hadn’t seen her smile before.
I want to have more fun with her.
“Just to be safe, I’ll give Setsuna more. I’ll pour it down below this time.”
“Means Setsuna and…”
“Let’s have sex. It’s okay if you want to say no. It’ll only slightly lower the odds of you getting stronger.”
“Please, give Setsuna Keyaruga-sama’s thing.”
She didn’t even hesitate for a moment. She’s ready.”
“Take off your clothes.”
Setsuna takes off her clothes and becomes fully naked. Her body is immature, but firm and beautiful. Setsuna blushes, looks away, and covers her breasts and pussy with her hands.
I approach her and insert my finger into her vulva. It’s hard. She probably never touched herself. There’s also no hair. I find a point that seems pleasurable for her and play with it.
Setsuna has been letting out some heavy breathing since a while ago. That’s because of a slight pain. It takes time for a woman’s pain to turn into pleasure.
… That’s right, I have something good for this. It just so happened I’ve been trying to make a potion for such circumstances.
I pulled my finger out of Setsuna. There was a little bit of love juice on it. I lick it, it tastes good.
I take out the potion from my bag. I pour a lot of it on my hand. The slimy thick mucus sticks to my hand.
I push Setsuna down to the bed and then put my finger in her again.
“Hyaa! What’s that? Setsuna’s there, hot.”
“Don’t worry, you’ll start feeling good soon.”
Setsuna’s vagina starts getting softer and hotter. It wasn’t just the potion, Setsuna’s own love juices were starting to wet herself.
I want Setsuna to feel good. The only people I’m happy to hurt are my targets of revenge.
“Hyah! This, don’t know this. Setsuna, scared.”
She’s starting to feel it a lot more. I increased the number of fingers from one to two.
“Setsuna’s… something strange, coming!”
Setsuna arched her body and her whole body started convulsing. She even lost consciousness for a brief moment. When Setsuna came back to her senses, her face flushed, but her eyes were open wide in bewilderment over her first time tasting the pleasure of being a woman.
So cute. I rolled my tongue over the pink colored tips of her breasts and then I massaged her cute wolf tail while letting out a hot breath.
“Setsuna, can you stand?”
“Un, somehow.”
I make Setsuna stand up and put her hands against the wall.
Setsuna’s lower mouth was twitching, calling for a man. I couldn’t believe it was the same place that was shut tight until just now.
I put my male member into place and shove it in at once. Blood comes out of our junction.
“H-hot, something hot, deep inside, coming.”
Despite that, Setsuna was getting pleasure, not pain. I began shaking my hips. It was still very tight, but it felt nice while her hot and undulating pussy squeezed me tightly.
“Good, this feels good. This is amazing, Setsuna. I’ve never felt anything like this!”
Setsuna moans with each thrust of my hips. This made me even more excited.
I’ve never fucked a pussy like Setsuna’s. I didn’t expect it to be this good.
The wolf tail was wagging in front of me. I was curious, so I decided to grab it and Setsuna screamed. I guess the tail is also an erogenous zone.
I’m going to spoil her as much as I can. Since Setsuna could no longer stand, I picked her up and continued to have sex with her.
Aah! I’m at my limit. Setsuna came again. Her whole body is convulsing and tightening up more than before. That felt so good I couldn’t help but cum as well. I made sure to pour everything I had into the deepest part of Setsuna.
“Haa, haa, Keyaruga-sama, with this, Setsuna became stronger?”
“Without a doubt, your level limit has increased. Even your level itself has gone up. I can see it with my eye.”
When I look at her with my Jade Eye, I see that not only the level limit has increased, but she has also leveled up. The experience she has accumulated so far probably turned into a new level as soon as her level limit went up.
“True, Setsuna feels it. Power growing. Been a really long time since grown stronger. From now on, grow even stronger… to kill those people.”
Setsuna cried. Her face became filled with tears, and then she showed me a smile. It’s a good smile, enough to send shivers down my spine.
After that, Setsuna fainted.
She reached her limit. Her sleeping face was incredibly peaceful. I love this Setsuna. She belongs to me, and I’ll never give her to anyone else. I would do anything to make her mine, this girl is worth it.
