Chapter 36: Our plan 18+
Mizuki took on her physical form to pour herself a cup of tea, her voice was teasing and playful as she spoke.
"Well before that how about discussing how you made the queen blush, oh la la"
"How daring of you Yuto and to think you were getting all flustered in the bath last night"
…
Yuto sighed as he took a sip of his tea, "I don't plan on doing anything, I can't even imagine what Freya would do to me"
Mizuki chuckled at his comment, amused by what Freya would do to him if she found out that he technically flirted with her mother.
"Hmm, she would probably try to strangle you within seconds"
Yuto laughed as he took another sip, "Imagine Senki's reaction if the queen decides to tell him"
"Oh that would be even funnier"
Yuto looked puzzled, "How so?"
"He would probably go on a rampage and try and I must clarify try to beat you senseless"
He put down his cup and put his hands together, "Wouldn't you and Freya do the same thing if someone tried to steal me away?"
Mizuki scoffed at his question, the grip on the teacup was tightening slightly, "Of course we would, after all, you belong with us, and we would do anything to keep you with us"
Yuto chuckled, "Anyways getting off track, the reason why the queen was acting different was because of my new stat"
"Oh? And what new stat is that, Yuto?"
"… -arisma"
"What?"
"It's a charisma stat"
Mizuki took another sip, her tone a bit teasing as she spoke, "So you're telling me that you've become more charming and persuasive, have you?"
"That's very interesting hu hu"
"Hah?!"
"More like a pain I don't even know how it works, look before we lose track again, do you think I did the right thing?"
"Becoming the queen's military support for the amount of time it takes to train Freya"
Mizuki traced a finger along her teacup, her eyes never leaving his, "I believe you did"
"Protecting this kingdom and its people is a noble cause, and will allow us to have a safe place to rest and reorganize our thoughts before continuing our journey"
"Plus, it never hurts to have connections in high places"
…
"I guess so and when I get my spirit egg it's gonna be an even bigger win"
Freya chuckled, she leaned back in her chair, "Still focus on the egg? You really can't wait to see what creature you'll end up with, huh?"
"Well it is something I request because it will benefit me in the future"
Mizuki laughed as she poured herself some more tea, taking a sip before answering, her tone was slightly serious.
"I suppose it's only natural to want to benefit from your reward"
"Let's just hope that it turns out to be some special if we have to wait this long"
"I hope so, I would be seriously angry if it turned out to be something useless"
Yuto and Mizuki shared a laugh as they continued their conversation, it lasted for at least ten minutes before they heard Freya start to wake up.
Mizuki transformed into a ring on his finger, "Looks like she's up now, I wonder how she'll deal with your little deal with the queen"
"Hah, I'll deal with that later, right now you should also get some rest"
"Oh, worried about me are we? How sweet but you need not worry, I'll take a rest as soon as I get to see Freya's reaction"
"Haha, so you want to see me get hurt?"
"Of course not, all I can do is wish you luck"
…
"True, come now, let's get going," Yuto left the balcony and entered the room again where he saw Freya stirring awake.
She sat up in her bed, rubbing her eyes blearily, "Good morning"
"Hey Fae, how are you feeling?'
Freya stretched her arms out above her head, a small yawn escaping, "I'm feeling alright, just a bit… tired. What time is it Yuto?"
Yuto blushed and looked away, it seemed that Freya was still just wearing her panties and his white shirt.
A double hit on his heart, "Well it's still early morning so that means the day is ready to start"
"Mh, too early," she complained, snuggling deeper into the blankets.
"Can't we just go back to sleep?"
["I guess I can rest just for a bit longer right? Hah, no Yuto get it together"]
"It's fine if you need a bit more sleep, I did plan on visiting your father and the elders"
Freya pouted a bit at his words, "Oh," her voice was a bit sulky.
"Do you have to go right away? Can't you stay a little longer?"
<- System Warning ->
The host is experiencing cuteness beyond his understanding
["Well I should get a bit of sleep"]
'Wow, falling for a cute little act that even I can do?'
["It's not like that, I mean do I have to meet up with the king?"]
'Yes, because you need to speak to him if he can train Freya'
["... Fine"]
<- System ->
The host mentality is higher, the host has managed to resist temptation.
"Sorry Fae, but hey I won't leave you alone"
"What do you mean?" She looked confused as she wrapped the blanket around herself.
"Mizuki"
Mizuki took her physical form and sat beside Freya, "You called?'
"Can you please keep Freya some company?"
"She's staying here with me?"
Mizuki chuckled as she ruffed Freya's hair up, "It's no problem right?"
Freya let out a small sigh, "It's fine with me, Yuto you can go meet up with my father now"
Yuto smiled as he walked over to ruffle their hair up, "No fighting, okay?"
Mizuki chuckled as she playfully swatted his hand away, "We won't fight, love"
["You promise not to cause problems, Mizuki?"]
'Trust me, now shoo shoo, I have something to discuss with her'
"You worry a bit too much," Freya added, sticking out her tongue playfully.
"Okay fine," he put his hands up.
He chuckled as he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Once he left the room Freya turned her attention back to Mizuki.
"So what do you want to do now?"
Mizuki took the opportunity to lay down on the bed, pushing Freya lightly for more room, "You wanna just talk about things?"
Freya chuckled at her response, she took the time to scoot over and make some more room on the bed for herself.
"I don't mind talking, but is there anything you want to talk about in particular?"
Mizuki with a naughty smirk turned to face Freya, "I wanna know how you feel about Yuto?"
Freya was taken aback by the question but tried to play it cool, "Yuto is an interesting person. He's strong and skilled"
"What else?"
"To be honest, he confused me a bit"
Mizuki was surprised to hear this, so she decided to sit up against the wall, "How so?"
"One minute, he's sarcastic and cocky in battle, and then the next, he's being serious and protective. I can never quite figure him out"
Mizuki chimes in, "But either way, you can't help but love him"
Freya slowly nodded as she too sat against the wall, "I'm thankful for everything he's done for me, and I would like to repay that kindness"
Mizuki chuckled, a weird grin growing, "I have a way for the both of us to reward him, of course, that is only if you agree"
Freya looked at Mizuki curiously, "What do you have in mind?"
- Meanwhile -
Yuto stood before the king and the elders, his expression serious and determined.
"So, I can see there is something we need to discuss, what is it?"
Senki and the elders nodded, their faces stern as they regarded him, "Yuto, apparently the human kingdom has summoned a hero and has been training him for two years"
["Is he referring to Wanless? Haven't seen him since I left Rosalind's body"]
"So what does that have to do with me?"
Senki and the elders shared a look before looking back at Yuto, "Do you think they could be a threat to our lives?"
["As if Wanless can be a threat to me..."]
"Are you afraid of the hero?"
The elders visibly bristled at Yuto's casual tone, but Senki simply crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes, "We are not afraid, we are merely being cautious"
"The human king has been known to be rather cunning and strategic. It's unwise to underestimate him or his chosen hero"
["Well can't deny that, hell even I still remember the power he displayed that day"]
"So what's the problem?"
"The problem is," one of the elders chimed in, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Is that we do not know the capabilities of this hero? If they prove to be a powerful foe, we must prepare for the worst"
["Look at this fucker, trying to size me up are we?"]
"Excuse me, sir, what's your name?"
The elder looked at the others for support, but they quickly looked away, "C-cad"
"Well Cad, please be quiet, okay?" Yuto released a bit of blood lust which quickly shut Cad up.
He turned his attention back to Senki who tried hiding his chuckle, "Don't worry, Senki, speak with your queen, and she will tell you why you shouldn't fear the hero"
The elders and Senki exchanged puzzled glances, their expressions quizzical. Senki looked at Yuto with a raised eyebrow.
"And why is that?" he asked, his tone curious yet skeptical.
["... yeah, it's better if I explain"]
Yuto shows his left wrist, a glowing green bow on it, "I promised the queen that all of you are under my protection"
The elders and Senki all looked at Yuto's marked wrist in surprise, their eyes widening in disbelief.
"You... promised the queen?" Senki repeated, his voice filled with astonishment.
"And she agreed to this?" one of the elders added, their expression a mixture of shock and skepticism.
"This is proof of my oath to the queen, you all see it, correct?"
The elders and Senki all studied Yuto's marked wrist, their expressions transforming from skepticism to begrudging respect.
"We do," Senki said, his voice low. "We see your oath, Yuto"
Yuto gave Senki a genuine smile, "So do not worry your Majesty, for I am here"
The elders and Senki nodded, their expressions gradually becoming less tense.
"We... appreciate your assurance," Senki replied, his voice a bit more composed now.
"We will rely on your protection then"
Yuto smiled but then his expression became serious, "Senki, I need to speak to you alone"
Senki looked at Yuto with a curious expression, sensing the seriousness in his tone.
"Very well," he said, turning to the elders.
"Gentlemen, you are dismissed"
The elders exchanged glances, their expressions slightly puzzled, but they nodded and began making their way out of the room.
Once the elders had left, Senki turned back to Yuto, a serious look on his face.
"What do you need to speak to me about?" he asked, his voice low but firm.
Yuto created a chair and sat down, he showed the green bow on his wrist again.
"This oath I made to your wife, I cannot harm you or any of your people"
Senki's eyes widened in surprise, his expression becoming more guarded.
"You... cannot harm us?" he repeated, his voice a bit wary.
"So let me ask again, do you still fear me?"
Senki was silent for a moment, contemplating Yuto's words. Then, he let out a sigh, his shoulders slumping slightly.
"Fear may not be the right word," he admitted, his voice tired.
"It's more like... cautiousness. You're a powerful being, Yuto. It would be foolish not to be at least a little wary of you"
"I'm still human, your Majesty, and because I love your daughter, I don't even dream of hurting you ever again"
Senki's expression softened at Yuto's words, a hint of relief crossing his face, "I'm sorry"
Yuto's face flashed with surprise, "H-huh?"
"I'm sorry," Senki repeated, his voice more firm this time.
"I'm sorry for all the hardship you've faced because of me"
"You killed the demons outside our borders, used your magic to create walls to protect my people, and saved my daughter from human slave traders"
"I was blinded by fear and anger for so long, I lost sight of what mattered"
"..."
Yuto was rendered speechless by Senki's unexpected apology.
He hadn't expected the king to express remorse for his actions, but the sincerity in Senki's voice was undeniable.
"I'm grateful for your protection, Yuto," Senki continued, his expression softening.
"And I trust you will continue to keep my people safe"
"Just... know that you have my respect now"
<- System ->
[ King Senki Sylverbane's respect for you is at its maximum, you have earned a new passive ]

["What does this passive do?"]
<- System ->
[ Earth's Blessing will allow you to recover your mana if it depletes to zero ]
["That's pretty cool"]
Yuto chuckled, his expression becoming sincere, "I will do everything in my power to keep them safe," he vowed.
"And thank you, your majesty. I appreciate your understanding and respect"
Senki smiled faintly, a hint of relief in his eyes, "And... Yuto?"
Yuto looked up at Senki, curious, "Yes?"
"Take good care of my daughter," Senki said, his tone gentle yet firm.
"She's gone through a lot, and she needs someone who truly cares for her"
"Well your majesty, that's what I wanted to speak to you about"
"Oh?" Senki's expression turned curious, wondering what Yuto was referring to.
"What is it?"
"Your class is Elven Hero, correct?"
Senki seemed surprised that Yuto knew about his class, but he nodded, "Yes, that's correct," he confirmed, his voice guarded.
"How do you know that?"
"No need to sweat the small details, what I need is for you to train Freya as she awakened to the same class"
Senki's eyebrows shot up in surprise at Yuto's words, "Freya... also awakened to the Elven Hero class?" he asked his tone a mix of surprise and disbelief.
"Are you certain about this?"
Yuto nodded firmly, his gaze steady. "I believe she has the potential to excel, and I cannot think of a better mentor than you, Your Majesty"
…
"Very well," he eventually said, his voice resolute.
"I will train her. But you must understand, Yuto, this training will force her to go beyond her limits"
"If she wants to continue following me on my journey, she needs to be stronger"
Senki nodded in understanding, his expression solemn.
"You are right," he said, his voice firm. "Freya will need to become stronger to stand beside you. And I'll make sure that she does"
Yuto got up from his chair and held his hand out, "Well, Senki, let's start anew"
Senki regarded Yuto's outstretched hand for a moment, unsure.
But then, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips, and he reached out to clasp Yuto's hand firmly.
"Let us start anew then, Yuto," he said, his voice warm.
The two of them stood there, their hands firmly clasped, the air between them no longer heavy with tension but filled with a newfound respect and camaraderie.
["You see system, there is no need to give me a charisma stat, I'm already charming"]
<- System->
Let's go with that, you know what? Take this as a small gift.
<- System Rewards ->
+100 Charisma
["Y-you bastard!"]
<- System ->
Hehehe good luck!
…
"S-see you later Senki," Yuto broke the handshake off and walked his fastest to the door.
Senki nodded, his smile still lingering on his face, "See you later, Yuto," he replied, his voice lighter than before.
As Yuto left the room he noticed that all the maids started to look at him weirdly, ["Why are they looking at me like that?"]
["It's not disgust, wait, my charisma stat did go up"]
He looked at one maid and she quickly turned her head, she was tumbling her fingers and rubbing her legs together.
["F-fuck, let's just make our way to Freya's room"]
Yuto quickly made his way to Freya's room, trying his best to avoid drawing too much attention to himself as he passed by the curious maids.
Once he reached her room, he quietly slipped inside, shutting the door behind him and letting out a sigh of relief.
"Welcome Home Master~"
Yuto flinched, he turned around slowly as he saw both girls sitting at the edge of the bed, twin grins on their faces.
["Ah, so this is my reward for being a good person, heh"]
Yuto gave a small smirk, enjoying the sight before him, "Looks like I've returned to quite the welcoming committee," he teased, walking over to them.
"We were getting worried you were gonna take hours," Mizuki said, her tone playful.
"Is that so?" He started to unbutton his shirt.
Freya and Mizuki's eyes followed Yuto's movements as he started removing his shirt, their curious gazes tracking every shift.
"Ah..." Freya let out a soft murmur, her cheeks coloring slightly at the sight of Yuto's bare chest.
Mizuki chuckled as they all knew where this was going, Yuto caught onto Mizuki's chuckle, his eyes dancing with amusement.
"Looks like you knew this would happen," he teased, his shirt completely off.
"I had a feeling," Mizuki replied with a smirk, her eyes roaming over Yuto's bare chest and the numerous scars that marred his skin.
"I'm still trying to wrap my head around how you convinced Freya," he took off his pants.
Both girls watched as Yuto's pants hit the floor, the sight of him standing in only his underwear causing their cheeks to color further.
Freya looked a mix of nervousness and excitement.
Yuto crawled onto the bed, he cupped both girls' cheeks, "I guess we have the whole day to ourselves?"
Both girls leaned into Yuto's touch, a mixture of anticipation and excitement written across their faces.
Freya nodded, her eyes locked on Yuto's. "All day," she confirmed, her voice a breathless whisper.
"And we can do whatever we want," Mizuki added, her tone dripping with sultry implication.
Yuto leaned in, trailing his tongue along both their necks, causing both of them to let out soft gasps.
Freya tilted her head back, exposing more of her neck to Yuto's tongue.
Mizuki mirrored Freya, a soft moan escaping her lips as Yuto's tongue glided across her skin.
Yuto continued his trail, his mouth lavishing attention on both their necks, enjoying the sounds and sensations he was drawing from them.
"Mmh, delicious"
Both girls let out soft moans at Yuto's words, their bodies arching into him, craving more of his touch.
Freya's hand found its way to his chest, her fingers tracing the ridges of his muscles, with a chuckle she pushed him down, her eyes glowing with love and lust.
Yuto let out a soft chuckle, "Oh? Freya is taking charge?"
Freya straddled Yuto's hips, her eyes locked onto his, "I'm just doing what I want to do," she replied, her voice hoarse with desire.
Mizuki began kissing his neck, trailing her tongue to his ear.
"Oh fuck!"
Yuto let out a soft sound of pleasure as Mizuki's lips and tongue traced the sensitive skin of his neck.
His hands automatically came up to grip Freya's hips, his fingers digging lightly into her flesh.
Freya moaned as she began to move at a nice pace causing Yuto's expression to go wild, she moved with a steady rhythm.
Her body rocked against Yuto's, eliciting soft curses and gasps from him.
Mizuki continued to lavish attention on Yuto's neck, her lips and tongue leaving a trail of heat in their wake.
With each movement, Yuto's grip on Freya's hips tightened, his body responding to the pleasure both girls were providing.
"God, you two..." he groaned, his voice a ragged whisper, and he began grouping both of their chests.
Freya and Mizuki gasped at the feeling of Yuto's hands on their chests, their bodies arching into his touch.
Mizuki leaned down, her lips finding his ear as she whispered, "Like what you feel, Master?"
Yuto blushed as he looked away, his thing growing harder in Freya, "... You're doing that on purpose"
Both girls giggled at Yuto's response, knowing that they were indeed doing this on purpose.
"Perhaps," Freya replied coyly, her movements never faltering.
"And it seems we're getting the desired effect..."
Yuto slapped Freya's ass, "Don't get too cocky," he pulled her breast and began to play with her nipple, as he focused on his tongue kiss with Mizuki.
He began to please Mizuki with his fingers, not wanting to leave her out of it, she moaned loudly, her eyes never leaving his.
Freya yelped as she moved at a faster pace, "Y-you too are doing it on purpose!"
"Yup, so just, ah-"
Both girls became more eager, their bodies moving faster and more urgently.
Yuto's hands and tongue worked in tandem, pushing them closer and closer to the edge.
"Yuto," Freya gasped, her voice ragged. "I'm... I'm close.."
"M-me too!"
Mizuki broke off the kiss with Yuto, her breaths coming in short gasps. "Me too," she echoed, her body trembling with anticipation.
Yuto's grip on both girls tightened, his breath coming in ragged gasps, "Together..." he managed to gasp out.
"Yes.. together," Freya panted, her movements picking up speed.
"Mmh... I'm-" Mizuki's voice broke off, her words lost in a gasp of pleasure.
"I'm... I'm-" Freya echoed, her body spasming against Yuto's.
Mizuki followed suit, her body limp and trembling as she sank against Yuto's side.
The room was filled with the sound of heavy breathing as all three of them lay there, seated and exhausted.
Yuto wrapped his arms around both of them, holding them close, "Love you both"
"Love you," Freya murmured, her voice tired but full of affection.
Mizuki nuzzled against Yuto's chest, a soft smile on her face. "Love you too," she echoed, her eyes closing in contentment.
"Still, Freya, how did Mizuki convince you to wear a sexy maid costume?"
Freya blushed at the mention of the costume, her cheeks turning a rosy shade of pink. "Well, Mizuki can be very persuasive," she admitted, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
"And she made some very... compelling points"
"Such as?"
Freya bit her lip, a coy look in her eyes. "She said it would make me look... more attractive," she replied, her voice taking on a teasing tone.
"And, well, it worked, didn't it?"
He shot Mizuki a quick glare, "Oh, Fae, I already think you're beautiful"
"I know," Freya replied, her voice softening.
"But sometimes, it's nice to know that I can be even more beautiful to you"
Mizuki just stuck her tongue out at Yuto, a mischievous grin on her face, Yuto leaned in to suck on her tongue, she moaned and tried to pull him closer but Yuto quickly pulled back.
A wet trail of saliva left both their mouths, "Fae, you don't need to change yourself for me"
"I know," Freya repeated, her eyes meeting Yuto's with a sincere gaze.
"But it's not just for you. It's for me. I enjoy trying new things... even if it means wearing a maid costume once in a while"
She gave Yuto a small, sheepish smile. "Besides, I have to admit, I kind of liked it"
"And the look on your face when we came in was priceless," Mizuki chimed in, her tone lighthearted and amused.
"You were a fan of the costumes"
"I am a man Mizuki, any logical person would be excited to see you both in maid costumes"
"See? Even he agrees," Mizuki teased, her smile widening.
Freya giggled at Mizuki's comment as she snuggled closer to Yuto, her body warm and comfortable against his.
"But seriously," Freya said, her tone becoming more serious. "I'm okay with doing these things because I trust you, Yuto"
"I know you don't care if I'm wearing a maid costume or anything else. You love me for who I am. And that means more to me than anything else"
Yuto kissed her forehead, before pulling back with a smile, "Thank you"
"Of course," Freya murmured, her expression soft and full of warmth. Mizuki simply nodded in agreement, a small smile on her face.
Yuto leaned the other way and pressed a kiss on Mizuki's forehead, "I love you too"
"Love you too," Mizuki echoed, her voice soft and affectionate.
They all lay there in comfortable silence, enjoying the aftermath of the intense moment they had just shared.
- Meanwhile, in the Forbidden Forest -
Wanless just killed a level 90 Low Ranking Demon by himself, his sword was glowing blue as he wiped the blood from his sword.
A figure in dark armor approached him, "Lord Wanless, we should continue moving forward, it's not safe here"
Wanless sheathed his sword, his eyes looking dead, he gave a small nod as he continued walking, "Why am I still your guy's hero?"
"Because Sir Wanless, we could always summon another, and the king did promise you a spectacular reward"
He chuckled as he looked at the path before them, it was covered with mutilated demon bodies and so much blood that it created a river.
"Then let's keep going"
…
"As you wish, Sir Wanless"
'Just you wait Rosalind, I shall get you back for dumping me so one-sidedly'
He continued walking towards the darkness of the Forbidden Forest, leaving only a trail of victims that would get in his way.
…
For the next two years, Yuto and the rest spent every minute training, helping the people with daily runs, and learning to understand their abilities better.
And just like that, it was time to leave for the Kingdom of Drakona.
