Chapter 92: White Princess
Today was the beginning of a new date with one of my women.
Yesterday was with Celes, and today's as the following ones will be a surprise.
In fact, the surprise came.
When I opened my eyes I found a cloud.
It was not a real cloud, it was a cloud of hair.
Beautiful silver hair like the moon.
I could see it moving from side to side.
It wasn't just one cloud, it was several.
Nine of them in all I counted.
I grabbed the clouds and didn't feel something fleshy or hard like a bone to assume it was part of a human body.
Rather, I know who owns these clouds that are actually tails.
It was just like touching a ponytail, but they have a life of their own.
I removed all the tails and just when I thought I could see the face of their owner, I found something better.
Two huge moons were pointing at me.
They were Yukihime's bare breasts that were looking at me.
Even the pink nipple was in view.
I looked up and saw her face sleeping peacefully.
When I was about to speak to her to get up, her arms and tails took me like a pillow.
She buried me between her soft breasts.
It's as if a huge pudding had the weight of a velvet pillow.
It's wonderful to be here, but... I'm suffocating!
Yukihime, wake up!
My dream is to die buried in a mountain of breasts, but not now!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
◇
Eli came to wake us up as it was getting late.
She found me drowning in those mountains.
She scolded me.
Apparently Eli wants me to drown in her chest rather than other women.
Hasn't she become more capricious?
Well, she's a villainess and the daughter of a ducal family, it's not unusual for her to laugh with an "Ohohoho desuwa" at some point.
In fact, I expect it.
After being saved I went to change, today will be my date with Yukihime.
Since Yukihime reminds me a lot of Japanese culture, it is not uncommon to see her wearing a kimono.
In fact, all of her clothes are.
At first I wondered how she would go about getting it, it seems kimonos and yukatas are not uncommon in the empire.
Isn't this all very convenient?
Sometimes I don't even want to understand how the logic of this world works.
I was looking through a pamphlet, today there will be in the shopping area an event.
It's not a gambling event or one in this country, but a cultural event.
It is called cherry tree festival or sakura matsuri.
At this time of the year, cherry trees are in bloom.
I think because of the heat they should not, but the ecosystem and the environment are not my forte so I ignore it.
Anyway, since this week the cherry trees are in bloom, because everyone likes them, there will be a festival to celebrate them.
Apparently there are several thousand people with similarities from Japan in the empire.
The immigration and the treatment of help to those people is impressive.
I wanted to take the opportunity to go rent a yukata, but when I tried to put one on it ripped.
There doesn't seem to be any in my size.
I'll have to go as if I were shopping at a convenience store.
The worst thing is that it's a date, but the heat is unbearable.
(Sorry Yukihime, forgive me this time.)
I put my hands together to apologize, at that, a voice called out to me.
"Razel, we're ready."
Eli's voice called out to me and I turned to look.
"You all look beautiful."
They were my honest words as I looked at them.
They all wore kimonos with flower, bunny or butterfly embroidered decorations.
The color of their clothing matched their eyes.
Their hair was tied back, though my eyes were focused on how tight their breasts were.
My threesome of monstrous breasts as always showing off their large volume.
Yukihime was the same as always, her skirt was very short, showing off her plump thighs and stockings.
Her wooden slippers gave her that royal oriental touch.
The top could not close due to the large size of her breasts.
Like Barbara, she was exposing them.
It was a wonderful sight.
My face had to make a ridiculous face for Lily and Eli to step in between and show me their pouts.
"Razel."
"Razel-kun."
"S-sorry."
I said scared since they were annoyed.
I went in Yukihime's direction and extended my hand.
"Shall we go my princess?"
I said that to sound really romantic, she smiled and gave me her hand.
Just before we walked.
"Elize-tan!"
I heard Livie's voice run.
Livie was wearing an outfit, how to say it without offending the imperial family?
Horrible to my eyes, it reminded me of those girls who do mix western clothes with kimono, giving a strange outfit, she even put on a scarf.
I didn't know about fashion, but I didn't like it.
She asked me.
"How do I look, mob-kun?"
My head would fly off if I laughed at her and she said to her father.
"It looks good on you."
I replied with a dull expression.
Though then I put energy into it since Christina was behind her.
Her kimono was beautiful, it was green and her huge breasts seemed to keep from wanting to bounce when she walked.
It reminded me of green tea.
Without wasting any more time, we went to the festival
◇
The center was full of people wearing yukatas and kimonos of different colors and sizes.
It was not only that, their races and ethnicities were also.
In the empire the religion we believe in is the goddess.
The immigrants who came to the empire seem to believe in another religion as Yukihime tells me.
We went around each stall either to eat or just to see.
Yukihime was similar to Lily, a black hole she had for a stomach.
My wallet is a little scared.
She would use her tails to grab the food and put it in her mouth.
Her only free hand was the one she was holding me with.
We approached a stand that sold takoyaki.
The owner of the place was a young boy with dog ears on his head.
Seeing us, he greeted us.
"Welcome! How many dishes would you like to... order?"
For some reason his smile warped into a sad expression.
"D-Don't tell me... it can't be... Yukihime-sama?"
Yukihime reacted to the boy's words.
She also showed a sad expression.
"You are... Natsuo?"
"Yes. I'm Natsuo, I served the royal family as a guard just like my family."
It seems like this is an unexpected reunion.
◇
The dog-eared boy, Natsuo, led us to a remote part where no one was around after closing his food stand.
He took off his headband and prostrated himself on the ground.
"I am extremely sorry for what happened that day!"
"All of us who swore to protect the Kamishiro dynasty are truly sorry!"
I looked to Yukihime to explain what was going on here.
We sat down before she told the sad story of her country.
"To begin with, let me tell you what the real name of my homeland was, it was called 'Sengoku Kuni' in your language it would be the Country in a State of War."
Did they seriously rely on the history of the sengoku states to create the country of her?
I'll kill those developers if there was Oda Nobunaga.
She continued.
"One day the country was unified thanks to a man who christened himself the demon king of the sixth heaven."
"..."
"The nation lived under a rule of chaos and blood until he came."
"He?"
"Yes. My ancestor, Yukihira, was the head of a small clan of men and women who called themselves mystic foxes."
"When the moonlight hit their bodies, they would transform into giant foxes and also possessed strange and mysterious powers."
(Seriously. I feel like I've heard this one before.)
"They wiped out the rulers, it's because my ancestor and his clan lived near the nation and were attacked by some hunters which led to a new war that lasted for three days."
"After defeating the demon king, they appointed themselves as rulers. The nation then came to be called Kamishiro Kuni."
"Also known as the Country of the White Deity."
(That's one way of putting it, because of the name and perhaps the kanji, it could also be called the White Fur Nation.)
"Thanks to us, many demi-human families came to live there, the nation was a beautiful place where different races could live together in harmony, even marry."
"Although my family didn't allow that, between relatives without direct blood they would get engaged so as not to contaminate our lineage."
"All was peace and quiet until they came."
"They?"
I asked very curious, Yukihime got a lump in her throat, Natsuo answered for her.
"The Ideal Empire attacked us for no reason twenty years ago."
"You said the Ideal Empire did it!"
(It's rare for Ideal to do something like that.)
(The information in the game and the information I was able to get in this world are the same, Ideal only attacks the Arklight Empire, so it's rare for them to attack other nations.)
(They are supposed to be peaceful with all countries except the Arklight Empire, they are even on good terms with the holy kingdom.)
(Why would they attack Yukihime's country?)
I asked Natsuo since curiosity was high.
"Could you tell me how it happened? Please."
"... It's not something so complex, they attacked us at night, it was a large group of knights that came out of the ground and started killing everyone, whether civilians or soldiers."
"They even killed children and old people."
Natsuo's sad expression changed to one of anger.
"Among them were four individuals, I think they were called dark knights or something like that."
(It's definitely them. Just like in the game they are sent on missions together, I would only run into one of them for introductory reasons and then they would retreat).
"I was standing guard like everyone else, a big explosion sounded at the entrance, it started burning Himeji castle at that moment."
"The fire was unnatural, it was burning in an accelerated manner."
"We heard screams of our comrades being killed by someone coming up."
"The royal family was on the highest floor, they couldn't escape, there was no His Majesty or his sons for them to fight too."
"I was nervous, the cries of soldiers who couldn't do anything echoed all over the place, the head of the royal guard, Tenzou-dono was with us even, I thought he would have a chance."
I looked at Yukihime when we heard that name.
Tenzou.
He was the guy I fought against in the lawless city, he was a ninja who talked to me about things about me playing an assassin and that this path will bring me pain.
I ignored him until the moment I shattered his heart.
Apparently he and Yukihime were close.
Natsuo continued counting after taking a breath.
"The door was split in two and bodies of our comrades cut like cheese were falling at their feet."
I decided to ask him since I also had a lump in my throat.
"The man who was there, if he was a man, what did he look like?"
Natsuo looked me in the eyes, I noticed the fear in his gaze.
"After finishing us off quickly, he fought Tenzou-dono, before I lost consciousness, I saw how he killed Yukihime-sama's mother and relatives, he took off his helmet and I was shocked before I lost consciousness."
*Sigh*
"A man of perhaps old age was responsible for killing over a thousand soldiers. He even looked at me."
"Those eyes, those wicked, demonic, fire-red eyes. That was not a man just a monster with the face of one."
I tightened my pants because of the fear I also felt.
(No doubt it is he, the old knight, the most annoying of all human enemies, the one who possesses two deadly sins according to the game.)
(The demon knight, Solomon.)
I tightened my chest due to the fear generated by that name.
(It's really irritating how that guy for an old man can inflict so much fear. I hope I have many allies the day our paths cross, so one of us can kill him.)
(Not even Oscar, Regulux or Jake at the top of their stats could do anything. It's really frustrating to know that not even a heart attack can kill him.)
I took a deep breath so I could forget this.
I said to Natsuo "Thanks for telling me about it" and looked at Yukihime.
She was scared.
Natsuo said to me.
"I don't know who you are, but I deeply appreciate you saving our princess. Even if we don't have a homeland to return to, just knowing that there is still a member of the Kamishiro dynasty alive is enough for us, thank you very much."
After that, we each went our separate ways.
Before leaving, Natsuo handed Yukihime a piece of paper with an address in the capital.
Apparently there is a place intended for immigrants without a nation where they can pray to their god between organizing meetings to hold national events, all that is free and also booked in advance as there are several races that go.
By the way, in Yukihime's country is a big white fox, apparently it is different from the silver-haired fox.
I will take Yukihime there when we return.
◇
Night fell before we knew it.
A fireworks show would occur in a few minutes.
We agreed to meet Eli and the others at the place we were sitting.
Yukihime has been down for hours, I've tried everything to try to cheer her up, this date is horrible because of that damn old knight.
I clenched my fist in frustration and she noticed.
"Sorry."
She said, I apologized as I'm sure she thought it was her fault.
"No. There's nothing to apologize for, I'm just upset too like you."
"You're upset about what happened to me?"
She didn't seem to understand.
"Yes. I'm upset because you lost your homeland, your family and most of all you were imprisoned for years."
Her beautiful blue eyes looked at me with a gleam similar to that of a jewel submerged under the moonlight.
"Did you really bother about me?"
I took her hand and looked at her with my most serious face.
"You are one of my women, my duty is to protect you and make you happy. So, whoever is your enemy, is my enemy."
I took her hands and moved closer to her.
"I swear that one day, no matter how long or late it takes me, I will give you back your homeland. I will even kill that old knight as revenge for killing your family."
Hearing me say that, tears streamed down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry... *sobs* I was immersed in remembering what happened that day... *sobs* that I didn't realize I was messing up our date. I'm so sorry."
I hugged her to make her feel better.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. This was good for me, I learned more things about you, even though I still don't know your full name."
She stepped back and said her real name.
"I am Kamishiro Haruka Yukihime, former third princess of the Kamishiro Kingdom."
She smiled and so did I.
"Now I'll be able to swear it for real."
"...?"
"I, Razel Bartlet, swear to you Kamishiro Haruka Yukihime that I will kill that old knight and even take back your homeland. I always keep my promises, I did it with Eli, I did it with Barbara and with you too."
"I will make sure to give you the happiness that was taken away from you."
Hearing my words, she came to my lips, we closed our eyes and kissed passionately like true lovers.
"Razel! Yukihime! There you are!"
Eli and the others were coming closer, the fireworks were about to start.
After placing more blankets on the ground, and having drinks ready.
The fireworks started, we all shouted the same thing.
"Tamaya!"
Yukihime whispered to me.
"Despite my sad state, you made me feel good. Today was wonderful, I'll be anxiously waiting for the day you put our heir in my womb, until then, become a stronger knight, my beloved savior."
*kiss*
She kissed me on the cheek and we held hands.
Tomorrow will be another great day.
