Part 1
The battle was over. The Jioral Kingdom’s ambition of attacking the Ice Wolf village to make their soldiers gain experience and sell the captured Ice Wolves in Ranalitta for money has been foiled.
After that, I called Freia back from her little solo mission. So the three of us, me, Setsuna and Freia, entered the Ice Wolf village.
Freia and I received a warm welcome and we were treated as heroes despite being humans. The Ice Wolves expressed words of gratitude and pushed jewels and food onto us.
It was a little surprising. I expected them to thank me, but to say they still hate me because I’m human.
Once the welcome was over, a man stepped forward from the crowd.
“Setsuna, you’ve returned, and even brought the Sword Hero with you. I’m so proud of you.”
Apparently, that’s Setsuna’s father.
“Father, Setsuna…”
“I was completely astonished when I heard you were kidnapped. I thought you could at least patrol the area, but… as I thought, it’s impossible for you to be a warrior. Don’t fight anymore. Find a husband, have children, and protect your home.”
Setsuna’s father hugged her tightly. But these words were not what she wanted to hear.
First of all, she belongs to me now. Even if it’s her father, I won’t let him just decide on her future like that.
“It’s not impossible. She has talent. If she wants, she can be stronger than anyone else. I guarantee it.”
I interrupted the father-daughter conversation. Setsuna looked at me. I feel a little bad for tearing them apart after they just met again, but Setsuna is a necessary resource for me.
“Father, Setsuna go with this man. Leave the Ice Wolf village, travel many places and become stronger. So today is goodbye.”
Setsuna declared that while looking into her father’s eyes. That’s not the selfishness of a child. I could see the determination to stand on her own as an adult.
What’s strange is that Setsuna seems to want to be with me from the bottom of her heart, not because of a contract or because she has no choice.
“… I see. I won’t stop you if that’s the path you’ve chosen. Sword Hero-sama, do you really believe Setsuna has talent? If it’s a Hero’s journey, it’s sure to be full of dangers. Can I trust that Setsuna is strong and qualified enough to keep up?”
It’s normal for a parent to worry about their child. But his point of concern is if Setsuna is strong enough? It must be the Ice Wolves’ unique way of thinking.
“Of course. With me, she’ll be stronger than anyone else. There’s no doubt about that.”
All she lacks are levels. But that barrier has been removed from the moment she grasped her future.
“In that case, I have nothing more to say as her father. Please take care of Setsuna… and take this as well.”
Setsuna’s father gave me a necklace with a blue jewel on it. I feel a strong magic power from it. This is a high-grade magic tool, and probably worth several hundred gold coins.
“What is this?”
“It’s our family heirloom. I planned to give this to Setsuna’s husband when she got married. I’ll leave it to you.”
Well, I’ll take it if you’re giving it to me. It has the effect of increasing magic power, and it’s not a bad thing to have.
Setsuna’s father then went into great detail about what she liked and disliked, what she wasn’t good at and all the gestures she made when she was trying to act tough to hide her bad condition.
With all that, I had to properly recognize him as her father. She is loved. If she were to stay in this village, she would live a peaceful life under her father’s protection and she would eventually find a husband. But, the moment she decided to take revenge, she chose to walk this blood-soaked path with me. Maybe that was unfortunate for her.
After that, I parted with him and was invited to the house of the Ice Wolf chief.
Part 2
“I would like to offer thanks for saving our village and our people.”
As soon as I was shown to the guest room, an elderly man, who appeared to be the Ice Wolf chief, bowed his head.
“If you want to thank someone, thank Setsuna here. It was her wish that brought me here.”
“Is that so? Still, I offer my thanks to you. And to you as well, Setsuna.”
Setsuna also bows her head. Now, I should also give them a little piece of advice. Jioral Kingdom values its pride quite a lot. There’s no way they’ll let their attack at a demi-human village end with their defeat.
If nothing is done, the Ice Wolves will be destroyed. While I was thinking of a way to bridge the conversation, the Ice Wolf chief opened his mouth.
“Sword Hero-sama, we have decided to abandon this village. We will leave this village behind and head for the land of the elves and Fire Foxes beyond the mountains*. They will accept us there.”
“That’s a wise decision. As long as you stay here, it’s only a matter of time before you’re attacked again.”
“Yes, the Ice Wolves are a proud race that have long survived on our own strength. But it’s time to move on. If this continues, we’ll be eradicated.”
It seems there was no need for my advice. They already have a firm grasp of their current situation. The Ice Wolves seem to be a race with a sense for crisis.
“About that, could the Sword Hero-sama accompany us? If we have your sword skill, our journey will be peaceful. Besides, Setsuna seems to have taken a liking to you. Why not take her as a wife and lead a peaceful life? Of course, we’ll also give the best treatment we can.”
I shake my head quietly. I felt someone’s eyes on me, so I turned to look and saw Setsuna. Setsuna averts her gaze. Her face was slightly red though.
“I’ll have to decline that offer. I’m also traveling to reach my own objectives.”
In the first place, Setsuna is already my property. She cannot become the chains to bind me.
“I see, I understand. We’ll leave the day after tomorrow. Let’s have a banquet today, please enjoy yourselves. We’ll do our best to entertain our village’s heroes.”
“Ah, I’m looking forward to it.”
That was the end of the conversation. The rest was just idle chat.
Part 3
The banquet continued until late at night.
The sake made by the Ice Wolves is strong and it makes my throat burn. Despite that, it was tasty.
Freia, who drank without a care in the world, was drunk and sleeping in the room that was lent to us.
I had left the banquet and went into the forest at night.
“Keyaruga-sama, come. Body hot. Going crazy.”
I made Setsuna put her hands on a tree and stick out her butt. I grab her protruding butt from behind and thrust myself into her.
Even though I wasn’t doing anything, Setsuna was getting wet. Apparently, she was really excited about her revenge. Not only was she wet, she was also extremely hot. I feel like I’m going to cum early today.
“I’ll give you lots of love.”
“Aa, an! Suddenly, Keyaruga-sama, inside Setsuna. Setsuna feels alive. Setsuna is alive now.”
Setsuna was screaming with delight as I fucked her hard.
After a life-threatening battle, you feel the most alive when you’re lying your body with someone else like this.
This is the best way to feel life. There are plenty of pleasures that can only be enjoyed at a time like this. I’ll make sure to teach her plenty.
Part 4
“… Intense today.”
“It’s because I’m excited after a battle.”
Setsuna’s face is still red as she fixes her clothes.
Setsuna’s level cap is still low, so I need to properly increase it. It’s not as simple as resting today and doing a little extra tomorrow.
Setsuna is wiping off the amount that’s spilling out. I find that erotic.
“Setsuna also excited. A lot.”
Why is the lewd appearance of a beautiful young girl so arousing? Unable to hold back my urges anymore, I kiss Setsuna and indulge in her.
“What do you think after dirtying your hands and killing the people you hated?”
Setsuna closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and then opened her mouth.
“Felt good. Head and body so hot like they were on fire. Every time swung nails, feeling grew and started to tremble. And when saw them crying or shouting, also. When unable to move, wanted to laugh… felt like a trance. Killed, killed and killed and when Setsuna noticed, she felt cold, mind turned white and tears came out.”
Setsuna hugged her own body. It was as if she was afraid of something.
“Do you regret it?”
“Don’t. Always wanted to do this. Would go crazy if handn’t. Made them feel least one-hundredth of pain Setsuna and others felt.”
Despite her words, Setsuna’s face was pale.
“So what are you afraid of? What do you fear?”
“Don’t know. The only thing know is that it not enough. Setsuna’s revenge not over yet. After everything turned white, chased the men who running away. Even then, not enough.”
Setsuna laughs. That’s right, it’s not enough. That’s what revenge is all about.
Setsuna has indeed killed a lot of people, but what she lost hasn’t returned. So she still doesn’t feel satisfied. And because she’s not satisfied, her revenge hasn’t ended.
“Then, continue your revenge until you’re satisfied. As long as you’re with me, you’ll be able to fight the soldiers of the Jioral Kingdom to your heart’s content.”
“Un. Looking forward to it.”
I pat Setsuna’s head between her white wolf ears. She then leans her body on me.
“Promised you’d save the Ice Wolf village and let Setsuna take revenge. Kept it, so Setsuna will give Setsuna’s everything.”
I smile. Setsuna will now reveal to me her True Name.
The True Name is the name that is engraved on the soul of all non-human creatures. Once I know it, I can have Setsuna do whatever I want. Setsuna will become my property in the true sense of the word.
“Keyaruga-sama, Setsuna’s, Setsuna’s True Name is…”
Setsuna’s True Name is engraved into my mind. I use that name to invoke contract magic. Setsuna and I are now connected.
“Thank you. Setsuna, I promise to give you affection until the day I die.”
“Un. Setsuna prepared for that. Probably because it’s Setsuna’s happiness.”
Even though she just became a slave for the rest of her life, Setsuna laughed. What a strange girl.
Well, it’s fine. I can use her, so I’ll take good care of her, so she doesn’t break from me using her too much.
I stroked Setsuna’s head again. Not to raise her level limit, but purely out of lust, I devoured Setsuna’s body again, and she reacted with a lovely voice.
Part 5
After finishing my work with Setsuna, we entered a limestone cave deep in the forest so I could tell Setsuna something.
This place leads to the underground water vein that goes through the city. It’s also the source of the strange disease.
“Setsuna, I heard that the two Ice Wolves that were enslaved along with you died because they weren’t able to endure the suffering of the strange disease.”
“Un, right. Caught that disease at the merchant’s house after turning into slave.”
“In other words, they were indirectly killed by the disease.”
Setsuna tilts her head in confusion. It seems she still doesn’t understand what I’m trying to get at.
“The truth is that I knew that the disease was being caused by monster poison being mixed into the water supply. And then I saw a monster with that same poison near the Ice Wolf village. That’s when I figured it out. That disease was caused deliberately.”
Using magic, I found the location of this limestone cave, the source of the poison. This is halfway between the Ice Wolf village and Ranalitta. And to top it off the source of the poison is a monster that lives near the Ice Wolf village.
Anyone who came this far can understand it. I dragged out the thing that had sunk to the bottom of the underground lake in the limestone cave.
It was a monster that looked like a mix of a monkey and a crab. It was only half dead and it was bound by chains at the bottom of the lake.
And the wounds were secured by metal fittings so that its bodily fluids constantly came out.
“The mysterious disease was caused by the Ice Wolf race. The motive must be revenge. The timing when Setsuna and the other five Ice Wolves were kidnapped coincides with the start of the spread of the mysterious disease. It’s a clever way to kill a lot of people that you hate.”
I laughed. Jioral Kingdom is merciless, but in a way, the Ice Wolves are even more so.
If left unchecked, thousands will die. They were planning to destroy an entire city.
“… Then, Ice Wolves were reason behind Setsuna and others’ disease?”
“That’s right. Well, you could say the people at fault are the ones who kidnapped you guys, but the direct cause are the Ice Wolves. Now, Setsuna, let me ask you this:”
There was no reason to tell Setsuna about this. But I’m trying to make a hobby of watching other people’s revenge.
“I can make the poison even deadlier. If I do that, many more of the humans that you hate will die. On the other hand, I can tweak things to make medicine flow instead of poison, curing everyone from the disease. I can also find out who did this, this would be your chance to kill the Ice Wolf who killed your friends. I’ll let you choose. It’s a celebration of Setsuna becoming mine in the truest sense.”
Now, what choice will she make? No matter what she chooses, she’ll be hurt. That’s why I’m asking her.
“Keyaruga-sama, cure everyone. Make medicine flow out.”
Setsuna’s answer was the one I least expected, as it would save the humans she hates.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. Don’t care about humans suffering, but don’t want people like Setsuna and others to suffer. Also…”
Setsuna paused and made a cruel smile.
“If going to kill anyway, do it with these claws. Boring like this.”
I ended up breaking into an applause. That’s the best answer I could have come up with.
A young girl, so distorted by her harsh environment. Until now, I thought Setsuna was a pure and sane person, but it seems I was mistaken. She’s broken enough, maybe even more than me.
“Then I’ll do that. Setsuna, I’m counting on you from now on.”
“Un. Setsuna also count on you from now.”
My journey for revenge has just begun.
Princess Flare, who had her memory wiped and became Freia, whispers her love for me, devotes herself to me, turns on her own country and accumulates even more crimes. I wonder how she’ll react when she eventually remembers everything.
Setsuna, the Ice Wolf girl, will support me as my accomplice and the person who understands me. She will never be able to escape me. My lovely possession.
By the time I realized it, the painful and lonely fights suddenly became enjoyable.
Now, what shall I do next?
There are many things I want to do, not to mention showing hell to the Sword Hero and the Cannon Hero, who are still out and about somewhere.
This world belongs to me, and I can do anything I want. I laughed out loud.
First, let’s do something big in Ranalitta to get their attention. My revenge has just begun.
*TN: The place the Ice Wolves are going to is Erushie, the nation that Syril, the main character of Elf Tensei, creates. It’s a powerful nation that accepts people of races usually persecuted by humans, like the elves, Fire Foxes and now the Ice Wolves.
