Orc Harem Vol 2 Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Orc-san And Duel

.

My duel with the mister white rose knight was decided.

I added mister when mentioning the white rose knight in my mind was mostly in the nuance of adding something like (lol) in regard to him.

「Uwah, somehow things are turning exaggerated.」

「I will get enough reward just from a duel  that will last a minute. It’s not a bad deal I think.」

「A minute? Did they mention about that kind of time limit?」

「I mean that he will go down in less than a minute.」

By the way, mister white rose knight could hear my words just now. He went red and yelled something.

However the soldiers desperately held him back. They dragged him away while soothing him down.

I wasn’t provoking him just to play around.

From the sword he used and his movement I knew that he was a technician type swordsman. That was exactly why taking away his composure was a valid tactic.

If a technician charged forward like a strength type swordsman, it would be extremely easy to deal with him.

My motto was to do everything I could do in order to win. I also wouldn’t hesitate to use this kind of underhanded tactic.

「Hmm, that human is weak isn’t he?」

「I think he can be categorized as strong for a human though.」

My evaluation to that man was roughly like that.

If a normal soldier’s power level was one, that white rose was a hundred, while I was around ten thousand.

That guy had overcome the boundary of being human for quite a lot.

「Then I’m relieved. I don’t want you to get injured after all Ork. Ah, we have to hurry. We won’t be able to check-in to the inn if we keep staying here.」

「I have already given up on that though.」

The soldiers were approaching us. They told us to use their lodging house.

They feared me running away with the sword of oracle.

「Uuu, even though I was looking forward to the duck cooking.」

「Let’s eat it tomorrow.」

I explained our situation to the soldiers and asked them to contact the inn for the cancellation. At the same time I also handed them the cancellation fee.

I heard the duck cooking there was superb. I didn’t want the restaurant to blacklist me due to cancelling the reservation without notice and became unable to eat their famous dish.

It seemed that the military’s lodging house would provide us with a meal, though we wouldn’t be able to expect anything amazing from them.

……This felt a bit annoying even with the reward waiting for us tomorrow.

「Eh, it seems like there is a commotion over there.」

「Is the white rose knight rampaging?」

It would be easy for that guy to shake off the soldiers if he rampaged seriously.

「That doesn’t seem to be the case. Because, look.」

Tita pointed with her finger.

The center of the commotion was a familiar face.

「Please let go of me, that thing, that sword has to be destroyed! The person who pulled it out will go off to somewhere if I don’t hurry!」

The fox-eared beautiful girl Kururu who we had parted with not long ago was being held back.

Her hand was holding a hammer. It was also made from orichalcum just like the sword of oracle.

It seemed that she was seriously planning to destroy the sword of oracle.

So this was the reason why Kururu was in such a hurry.

「Stop this sword priestess-sama. We have explained it to you many times. That’s the sword of oracle.」

「That kind of fake is no good. It will dirty the history and pride that Okaa-sama and my ancestors has built up until now.」

……A fake huh.

I pulled out the sword of oracle that I put inside my sheath.

It emitted the luster of orichalcum. It was a sacred and elegant sword.

It wasn’t just because of the good quality of the material. The skill of the blacksmith was also good. This was without a doubt a quality sword.

But that was only if the evaluation was based on the general opinion.

If the evaluation standard was based on being a hero’s sword, that this thing was certainly a fake.

I knew the real thing. After all it was Kaa-san’s favorite sword.

I wanted to add Kururu into my harem since the first time I saw her.

But my interest toward her welled up even more at this point.

I walked toward her.

「Ah, you are the one from before, the or-」

She was about to call me an orc, so I closed her mouth.

Kururu glared at me tearfully.

It would be bad if I was exposed as an orc right now.

「Mister soldier, can you let go of that girl.」

「B-but, the sword priestess-sama is planning to destroy that sword.」

「It’s fine.」

I emitted a little bit of sword ki. The soldiers got scared from that and fell on their butt.

「Kururu, we meet again.」

I held the sword so she could see it.

「You are the one who pulled it out?」

「That’s right. Let’s talk with just the two of us……you want to do something about this thing right?」

Kururu clearly looked shaken.

And then she began to question and answer herself with a small voice.

「Uuuuu, I have to destroy the sword no matter what. But, getting alone with an orc, that’s clearly a trap. If I go with him, he will say something like 『Gehehehe, this stupid girl get lured so easily』 when we are alone, push me down, and make me unable to get married……but, if I refuse, with that fake sword this orc will, ……Okaa-sama, Kururu has decided. Even if this body will get dirtied, for the sake of our family’s pride……but, it’s scaryyy. Why does things become like this」

She seemed really scared. Her fluffy fox tail was sagging down powerlessly, while her fox ears were lying flat on her head.

And then her imagination ran wild in full speed from there. She was starting to mutter about an extremely maniac play.

……What’s that, it  turned me on a bit. I wanted to try it. The idea really struck home at my orc heart.

「I-I understand. But, even if you can do anything you want to my body, I won’t allow you to take my heart too!」

「You have said that line before this too. ……I’ll stop if you are that scared to be alone with me. Tita will also come with us.」

「Yep, I also think that way will be better.」

「Hah, don’t tell me it’s threesome!? No way, to have my first time experience through threesome……uuu, just what are you planning to do with Kururuuuuu」

Perhaps this girl was already hopeless.

◇

We were facing Kururu inside the room of the lodging house that was lent to us.

Kruuru was standing at the corner of the room with her tail’s fur standing on end warily.

I smiled wryly and brewed tea.

「First drink this and calm down.」

「Don’t tell me, is this tea an aphrodisiac? You must be planning to make me the one begging for it!」

「There isn’t any drug like that you know!?」

Something like magical aphrodisiac like the one that would appear in erotic manga didn’t exist in this world.

Though there was a drug that would make sex felt really good if it was used!

「Err, your name is Kururu right? Calm down first for now. Ork absolutely won’t force a girl who don’t want to do it no matter what.」

「Yeah, that’s my principle. The harem that I’m wishing for is a happy and warm harem where everyone’s heart is connected with genuine love. That’s why, I’ll only sleep with woman who has fallen in love with me. I took a liking to you Kururu right from the first time I saw you. I want to be together with you. That’s exactly why I plan to do my best to make you fall in love with me. I won’t lay my hand on you until then!」

I told Kururu that while looking straight into her eyes.

Reach her, my feeling!

「Uh, please don’t stare at me like that……oh no, this orc, if I look closer he is actually a handsome man, my heart is beating a little fast. Hawawa, thinking really really carefully, I never had any proper talk with boy even until this age……glance, glance, that pocket watch, it’s the work of a famous craftsman from Lutherburg, and his outfit is from Fondawn, and the elf girl’s necklace, it’s jade is a really special grade……handsome look, rich person, gulp. Perhaps even an orc is alright.」

This fox, she was unexpectedly realistic, and on top of that she had sharp eyes!?

I put the unsheathed sword of oracle between me and Kururu.

「Cough, anyway. You want to destroy this sword right? ……After all, it’s you Kururu who created this failure. I understand your feeling.」

Kururu’s eyes widened.

「Eh, how can you understand?」

「There are several reasons. My mother is Mireille Forland. The Hero of Azure Thunder. That’s why I have seen the real sword of oracle since I was small. This sword that I pulled out is amazing. But, it’s several level inferior compared to Kaa-san’s sword.」

This was a good sword, but it was still just too shoddy to be called the ultimate sword.

That was my impression.

「An orc is a hero’s son!? That’s incomprehensible, so let’s set that aside for now. You said that my sword is several levels more inferior compared to your mother’s sword, but are you really speaking the truth? Do you really understand about sword?」

I silently held out the sword that was usually hanging on my waist.

「This is a sword that I forged. The material for it is mithril and its several levels inferior compared to orichalcum……but, if we only look at the degree of its completion as sword, mine is better than yours.」

Kururu unsheathed the sword and observed it with great focus. She swung it to ascertain its performance.

「No way-, are you really the one who forged this sword?」

「Yeah……well, rather than forging it, I was mostly taking shortcut using alchemy though.」

「I know that from looking at this. But, alchemy is just a convenient processing method, it’s not a technique to just create a sword instantly. It will be useless unless you can perfectly imagine the blueprint in your head. ……There is truth in this sword. In the first place, alchemy is a super difficult magic isn’t it? Rather forging a sword with normal way will be easier……and yet what’s with this precision? It’s frustrating but, this sword is better than mine.」

Her fox ears drooped down dejectedly.

This girl’s emotion could be seen from her ears and tail, so it was really easy to understand her.

「You praised my precision but, your skill in forging this fake is superior than my alchemy if it’s only in the matter of precision……that’s really shocking. After all the calculation error in my manufacturing is in the denomination of 0,01 mili or lower. And most of all, the way you pour and extract magic power from the material is superb. This is talent, it’s not something that you can manage somehow by training. My sword is better than yours Kururu is just because I have more knowledge.」

「I’m convinced now. Ork-san is really knowledgeable about sword……yes, I wanted to destroy that fake is to stop a fake that I created to get out in the world and dirty the pride of the divine steel tribe that Okaa-sama and my ancestors had built until now.」

The current sword of oracle was inferior compared to my mother’s sword of oracle was simply because Kururu lacked the necessary knowledge and she tried to create one forcefully by simply imitating the shape.

Even so I was impressed that she was still able to finish this sword to at least have the minimum performance.

「Kururu, I want you to tell me. Why did you create this sword? You are still in the middle of learning right?」

There was no problem with her skill. What she was lacking was knowledge.

That was something that she simply should learn during her training.

As for her skill……her foundation as a blacksmith had reached the domain of perfection. It was due to her genius. That was the proof of her talent.

In other words, if she continued her study for one or two more years, she would be able to create something that was worthy to be called as the sword of oracle, no, she would be able to create something even better.

「……Okaa-sama was killed. There is no more sword priestess other than me. I’m still in the middle of training, but the bigwigs of this country said that the sword of oracle is needed, so I desperately tried to create one and ended up making something half-baked. I didn’t have any intention putting out something like that in the world, and yet, they said that this fake is good enough and put it out there. That’s why, there is no choice but to destroy it.」

Kururu’s eyes turned cold.

And then she swung up her hammer.

Her hammer was an orichalcum hammer. It was the only thing in the world that could possibly meddle with orichalcum. It was filled with the magic power of the divine steel tribe to the brim.

Well, this sword would easily get broken if that hammer was swung on it.

But, I wasn’t so kind as to allow that.

Kururu’s hammer was swung down. A loud metallic sound resounded.

However, the blade wasn’t even scratched.

「W-why」

「No, Kururu have been pouring your magic power into that hammer since some time ago right? That’s why I was also pouring my magic power into this sword.」

「No way, but I’m not feeling any magic power at, eh, magic power is suddenly blowing out.」

「My magic power didn’t cover the surface but seeped to the inside. It couldn’t be helped that Kururu didn’t notice it.」

「Even super first class magician can’t do something like that! Just what kind of orc are you!?」

This girl is really nice.

She understood just how amazing this kind of feat was.

In Tita’s case, there were many things that she didn’t notice. It was lonely because I didn’t have a lot of chance to act smug with her.

「Uuu, don’t get in my wayyy」

「This is for both our sake. Even if you want to destroy this there is a proper way to do it. So that this sword can be recycled.」

「Eh, recycle? What do you mean?」

Fufufufu, I wanted to get Kururu.

I had fallen in love with her at the first sight, and now after talking with her like this I realized just how fun she was. Exchanging retorts like this was impossible to do unless there was really good affinity between both sides.

That was why, I needed to have a point of contact with her in order to make her fell in love with me!

And there was a way for that right now.

「What Kururu is lacking is knowledge, while I have that. However, even though I have knowledge, only the divine steel tribe can temper orichalcum. So it’s pointless for me to have this knowledge……that’s why both of us will make the sword together. Kururu will forge the sword using my knowledge. And then……」

「A proper sword of oracle that won’t disgrace the divine steel tribe will be created!」

Kururu’s eyes shined and she leaned forward.

Even her didn’t actually wanted to destroy the sword of oracle.

She simply had a tragic resolve because at this rate her sword would throw mud on the face of her mother and ancestors.

A happy end for her wasn’t by destroying the sword.

It was by making a proper sword of oracle.

And then if we did that together, it would become a romantic joint project!

「Let’s make the sword together. And then we will use the sword to cut the wedding cake.」

「Um, I don’t understand what do you mean by that.」

「Anyway, we have an excuse to continue interacting with each other like this. After that we will deepen our love together through this joint project, and then get into bed together and bam, it’s harem.」

Ah, crap, I shouldn’t speak my honest feeling here shouldn’t I?

Kururu and Tita were sending me cold gazes.

「Um, Kururu, he is saying that kind of thing, but I can guarantee that there won’t be any danger to your body. Even though Ork has ulterior motive, but his principle of not laying his hand on a girl until that girl like him is true. That’s why he is someone who does roundabout things like this.」

「Yes, that seems to be really the case isn’t it. After all, if Ork-san dangled his sword knowledge in front of me and demand that I give him my body in exchange of his cooperation……I might accept that demand. Conversely speaking, because he doesn’t do anything like that, I think that he is a strangely perverted person but a sincere one.」

「So now you are in love with me!」

What a fortunate error.

I was being too open with my ulterior motive, but it seemed that it earned me some affection level with her instead.

「That’s not the case.」

As I thought, this retort was truly talent.

The words really cut deeply.

I’d definitely made her fall in love with me.
