Chapter 37.3: Ball of Velos

Unfolding my wings, I took flight towards the sky. Kaya-san started to run, too.

「WAIIT」

I completely ignore Echigos's scream.

「EH!?」

After flying for a certain distance, I reduced my flight altitude since I felt something out of place.

「Shirone-sama!」

Kaya-san called for me from below.

「There's an invisible wall... It seems this wall was made to imprison us...」

It might be barrier magic. Our path was blocked by this barrier.

「CEH! It seems we need to do something about this barrier!!」

It was rare to see Kaya-san in such a hurry. Naturally, the reason was Kyouka-san's safety. I was feeling impatient, too. If it's against the ogres, Kyouka-san can fight them with ease as long as she felt like it. But, Kyouka-san wasn't that good at using magic. If Kyouka-san's magic runs rampant, the Velos kingdom will be in great danger.

If we don't return to Velos as soon as possible, the kingdom might be engulfed in a sea of fire.

At times like this I wish we had Chiyuki-san and Nao-chan here. Chiyuki-san might have been able to crush this barrier in an instant.

If we had Nao-chan, we wouldn't fall into this kind of trap

Until now, I've been fine as long as I could swing my sword as the vanguard. That's why I am having a hard time when it comes to performing the duties of a rear guard.

It seems Kaya-san was also struck in the same dilemma as me.

「Shirone-sama, shall we rip this barrier apart?」

Kaya-san proposed to destroy the barrier. Though it's possible to smash this barrier with brute force, it might be even faster to destroy it with magic. Kaya-san has a similar amount of magic power as me. That's why I might be a better choice to smash this barrier.

「It might be a simple matter for Chiyuki-san, but it might take a while for me to tear this barrier apart」

This barrier isn't that powerful, but it might still take a while for me since I'm not that skilled in demolition type magic.

Charging my magic power, I held it overhead in preparation to smash the barrier.

◆ Goblin Prince, Goz

The mellifluous music piece was wafting inside the venue. It seems a goblin would run as fast as possible as soon as they heard the tune. Even though my mother's goblin blood is running through my veins, the song seemed to have no effect on me since I'm a human.

Human females wearing dresses in a multitude of colors were dancing along to the tune.

All of them were top-notch beauties, but they will never beat the one in front of me.

The human female called Kyouka was devastatingly more beautiful than those other females.

I could feel a sense of superiority dancing with this female and I knew the men around us were looking at me with envious gazes.

I'm sure that they never expected the little sister of the hero to be present at this ball.

I recalled the hero's visage. A beautiful and powerful man. No one could stop feeling jealous when they looked at him. A man who always induces hostility from another man. The hero is surrounded by various kind of beauties waiting to serve him. That alone was already annoying enough, and yet he even tried to reach with his hand toward Regena.

Unforgivable!

But, the hero is powerful. Despite being unable to stomach his actions, I'm no match for him.

Looking at the female in front of me, she resembles that hero, indeed. Well, that's just natural, she's the hero's little sister, after all. It would be the best if I made this female yield to me in bed. Wouldn't that scene look like the hero himself yielding to me? This desire of mine might turn me into the hero's enemy, but I just couldn't suppress the thought once it cropped up.

This female didn't come to Algore previously.

I've seen the female called Shirone before. She came along with the hero to Algore.

What was the business of that female called Shirone, did she want to go somewhere? And that poor Omiros who didn't get the chance to become her dancing partner disappeared to somewhere.

Though the whereabouts of that Shirone is weighing on my mind, I have to focus on this Kyouka before me.

I looked again at the female called Kyouka. I could see a deep valley from the opening on the chest part of Kyouka's dress. Though I really want to fondle those breasts, I have to be patient for now. It seems that this female doesn't have a favorable impression of me. She didn't even look at me for a while now. She was dancing with me only because it was inevitable.

The female who danced with me yesterday was looking at me with a feverish look. That female just came along the moment I invited her. That's why I gave her my love for the whole night.

Parish's figure should look like a charming prince to the eyes of that female, but Kyouka's eyes are freezingly cold. She might be able to see through my disguise.

In that case, I have to use the aphrodisiac from my chest pocket. As long as I use this, irrespective of whether she can see through my disguise or not, she's going to gasp like a sow in heat underneath me.

I'm going to invite her for dinner in a separate room after the end of this dance and then I'm going to find a gap to make her drink plenty of this aphrodisiac.

I've drank this aphrodisiac in the past; I couldn't live without women for two days, and I needed five days before the effect of this drug dissipated completely. I ended up having a sex party with dozens of female goblins at that time. So, this drug would definitely be effective on this female.
