Orc Harem Vol 2 Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Orc-san And Kururu’s Formal Dress

.

I had overcome the greatest crisis in my life.

I didn’t try anything with Kururu at all even in this situation. Perhaps I had become something beyond a gentleman and become a sage?

Perhaps I had even surpassed the great sage Merlin Enlight.

By the way I didn’t get even a wink of sleep.

If I relaxed myself for even a bit, I wasn’t confident that I would be able to keep holding myself back.

『I guess I’ll masturbate later.』

When I got out of this room, I’d enjoy myself while recalling Kururu’s tail.

My memory was extremely good.

I would be able to easily enjoy myself like that.

「Good morning, Ork-san.」

「Morning. Looks like you have slept soundly.」

「Yes, as I thought I can feel the most at east when together with Ork-san.」

Kururu smiled cheerfully.

Seeing that smile, I felt glad once more that I held back.

If I tried anything with her, she surely wouldn’t show me this kind of smile.

「I’ll prepare the breakfast. When are you going to start to forge the sword?」

「I’ll do it after eating breakfast.」

「I see, then I’ll make a light breakfast.」

「No, make it plentiful instead! A fox’s stomach is strong you know. I’ll use a lot of stamina, so meat, a mountain of it will be great.」

「Got it, then I’ll try making a meal that make strength to well up.」

Come to think of it, I had a stock of thick bacon.

Perhaps I should follow the superstition and try making a bacon katsudon. (TN: Katsudon, pork cutled served on top of a bowl of rice. Katsu also meant victory in Japan, so the food could be translated as victory bowl)

◇

I made a large serving of bacon katsudon just for Kururu’s breakfast.

Tita and I had bacon egg and salad for breakfast.

「This is the best. The meat is amazingly juicy and plentiful. Energy is welling up inside me the more I eat it.」

「I’m amazed you can eat something like that right from the morning. It feels like I’ll get heartburn just from watching.」

「I’m a fox after all!」

That line was iffy. Could that really be a reason?

The katsudon that was using bacon had denser flavor compared to the normal katsudon. The fat’s umami was strong. That was exactly why its affinity with rice was better than a normal katsudon.

But due to its dense taste, it would make other flavor thinner. I had to adjust the balance.

I also had no ingredients to make Japanese style broth, so I was using consommé soup.

「Ork-san is really good at making any kind of food.」

「Well, it’s half my hobby and half to make a harmonious harem.」

「It’s not really related with harem isn’t it?」

「That’s not really true. People from different background will also have subtly different taste right? If I leave the cooking completely to just one wife, it will look like I’m giving a special treatment just to one person. Asking them to do it in turn is also one way, but a certain degree of standard is still needed even if we are doing it that way. It’ll feel lonely if there is no taste of family in the cooking……and so I’ll be the best cook and set up the standard.」

I wasn’t going to adjust my cooking to fit someone’s taste, instead I would learn the preferences of each of my wives and then made them all met at the middle ground.

And then, with me making that kind of cooking, everyone would adapt themselves to that taste, and it would become a family taste.

「……You are really hardcore Ork.」

「Yes, I can certainly feel that you are genuinely risking your life to create a harem.」

「Naturally. I had done everything that possibly have to be done in order to create harem. If not, I won’t have the qualification to obtain more than one finest woman.」

「It even make me feel respect to you that you’re going that far.」

「If it’s Kururu then I’ll welcome you anytime.」

「That is that, this is this.」

She averted her face sulkily. Then she finished off her remaining bacon katsudon.

Tita and I also followed her example and finished our breakfast.

「Then, I’ll forge the sword. I’ll go change my clothes for a second, so please go to the workshop first.」

「There should be no problem even if you wear your usual outfit shouldn’t it?」

「No, today is special, and there is an outfit that is fitting for that.」

「Got it. Then, we will go ahead and wait.」

A special outfit huh, I hope it’s cute.

◇

Kururu finally came after we waited for her in the workshop.

「……It’s cuter than I expected.」

「This is the formal dress for the sword priestess to draw out our strength to the maximum. This is a memento of Okaa-sama. But, it doesn’t suit a pipsqueak like me.」

「That’s not true, it really suits you.」

It was a native dress with red and white as its base colors. There was a slit that made her thighs visible. How erotic.

「You are just flattering me aren’t you?」

「I never give flattery. After all I won’t woo a woman who needs to be given flattery.」

「I’m happy to hear that. So I have matured enough to look good in this outfit……after this if I can also forge a perfect sword of oracle and do the resealing perfectly in Okaa-sama’s place, I’ll be a fully-fledged blacksmith. Please watch over me.」

「Yeah, I’ll be watching.」

I snapped my fingers. Then the fire spirits gathered and the area was filled with fire mana.

In this situation, Kururu would be able to exert more strength than usual.

Kururu heightened her concentration.

It was at such timing.

The door was knocked violently.

「Geez, who is that at this time? Even though I’m concentrating right now.」

「It looks like they are really in a hurry.」

Someone was knocking this rudely at the house of the sword priestess. It wasn’t a normal situation.

「Should I go take a look?」

「No, I’ll come too. For some reason, I have a bad premonition.」

I headed to the entrance with Kururu.

And then when the door was opened, there were soldiers there.

The soldiers were entranced by Kururu who was wearing the formal dress. And then they coughed and opened their mouth without even wiping their sweat.

「There is trouble. Someone has broken the seal of the god of disaster.」

「No way. The medium of the seal is orichalcum you know? How can that be broken……」

「Only the sword priestess-sama can possibly do that. Because of that our superior ordered us to bring you in.」

「I didn’t do anything like that. Even now I’m just about to forge the sword to do the sealing.」

「We too aren’t doubting your innocence sword priestess-sama, but we need to carry out an investigation.」

No, if the seal was undone, there was more important matter that had to be taken care first.

What was the unsealed god of disaster was doing right now?

……Think, the god of disaster was sealed inside orichalcum, the only one who could break it was the sword priestess Kururu.

No, that’s wrong!

「The criminal isn’t Kururu. Kururu’s uncle returned home yesterday.」

「What did you say!? Is that true?」

「Yeah, he almost attacked Kururu but I saved her.」

「You aren’t just making up facts in order to help the sword priestess aren’t you?」

They were doubting me so blatantly.

But, there was no time for this.

Rather than questioning who was the culprit, our priority should be to stop the liberated god of disaster.

If Kururu’s uncle was the culprit, there should be a meaning of why he undid the seal.

The possibility that I could think was that he was trying to fix the seal perfectly so that his worth could be recognized, however he failed.

Such case was possible enough to happen, but it was weak.

After all, yesterday he had recognized that he was inferior than Kururu.

There was no way a man with high pride could accept that reality. Even if he managed to do the sealing perfectly, it didn’t mean that he had surpassed Kururu.

……The possibility with highest probability was him making a wish to the god of disaster.

When I considered what was the worst way the god of disaster could grant his wish, many bad premonitions floated up inside my mind.

This wasn’t the time to just talk leisurely here.

「You can’t believe the hero’s testimony? I’m Oruruk, the one who pulled out the sword of oracle and defeated the white rose knight.」

I disguised myself into Oruruk with super high speed.

What was important to persuade someone wasn’t the content of the truth, but who was the one saying it.

That was why I used my position as the hero Oruruk.

「M-my apologizes. Why, are you here」

「The hero being together with the sword priestess, naturally the reason can only be for the sword of oracle. I asked her to adjust the sword. She has been together with me all this time since yesterday. Her alibi is perfect. Are you still going to take her away even then?」

I said that and acted menacingly.

I placed my emotion into my ki and let out a pressure with it.

「If that’s how it is, we will return to the seal’s location.」

「I’ll also go. I’m concerned with the liberated god of disaster.」

I hope some of my worst premonitions wouldn’t come true.

In the worse case, multiple countries would be destroyed.

「I’m going too.」

「No. You stay here and forge the sword. ……If my bad premonition is correct, the perfect sword of oracle will be necessary. You are the only one who can create it Kururu.」

「Please don’t put pressure on me by saying something like that.」

「It’s fine, you can do it. I told you didn’t I? I don’t give flattery. I’m the one who know best about Kururu in this world.」

「I understand. Then, I’ll forge the sword with my all and deliver it to Ork-san.」

「Yeah, I’ll be waiting. I’m looking forward to wield Kururu’s sword.」

By the way, the soldiers were confused because Kururu called me Ork.

I lightly told them that it was her nickname to me to allay their confusion.

And then I started running.

So that nothing that would make Kururu sad would happen.
