Stop it! Its not me thats strong... Its the sword...!
Chapter 44: Kurou, I'll take your seed

"You sleep so soundly, Kurou…"

――Amidst the flickering light of the sleeping quarters, Tiana, the peach-haired knight, gazed at the sleeping Kurou.

It was after they had arrived at the remains of a village. Upon discovering a safe hunting cabin nearby, they decided to stay there for the night.

It had been about an hour since they ate the meal Tiana had prepared, and Kurou had fallen asleep in no time. He must have been truly exhausted.

Approaching him as he let out deep snores, Tiana softly spoke, "Hehe, your sleeping face is surprisingly peaceful. Despite always having such a stern expression, you're quite cute, you know?"

She gently stroked his glossy black hair. Seeing him like this, he appeared just like any ordinary boy. He didn't look like someone possessing overwhelmingly godlike combat abilities. It seemed strange to Tiana, and at the same time, it made her feel a sense of melancholy.

"...What is a kid like you doing? Someone around the same age as me, fighting in a way that would break your own body. Prioritizing bringing peace to everyone by eradicating evil over your own life.

"As a result of living like a true hero, you became a nuisance to the royal family, and you were marked for extermination. And then, you were subjected to the task of slaying the dragon but—without a trace of fear, you decided to confront it.

"It's absurd, isn't it?"

When she witnessed the village destroyed by the dragon, without cowering before the overwhelming devastation, Tiana was convinced while watching Kurou fiercely swinging his fists in anger. Ah, he will probably be like this for the rest of his life.

"You're insane, you know that? No matter how many times we tell you to 'cherish your own life,' you won't listen, will you? If there's someone out there causing suffering, you'll undoubtedly rush to their aid."

No matter what hardships lay ahead. This broken comender would face them alone, with just his own body.

"This crazy bastard…"

Tiana straddled the man and placed her fingers on his neck. And then, she softly leaned over and pressed her lips against Kurou's—In a dimly lit room, with only the light by the bedside, a sweet sound of water softly echoed.

"Mmm... Ahh, I did it... But it's your fault, Kurou," Tiana said, her words filled with unreasonable complaints, even causing herself to chuckle.

But there was no help for it. It was an undeniable fact. In the presence of Kurou, who fought with utmost seriousness, sacrificing his own life... she had fallen in love.

"If you were more like a mechanical executioner, I probably wouldn't have fallen for you. But you accompanied me on walks through the town. You brought my mother and me closer.

"You said, 'Tiana is protecting my heart' to a worthless weakling like me. You told me that being with me makes you feel calm...!"

Though the time they spent together was short, it was already enough. When she looked back on the memories she shared with him, her heart was filled with numerous acts of gentle kindness.

Yes. Despite being a flawed man, Kurou had never lost his sense of humanity. At his core, he was a very kind-hearted boy. Tiana believed in that. That's why.

"Kurou…"

And thus, she fell in love. With him, whose hometown was burned by evil, and whose heart had been irreparably shattered. She dedicated her love to a man who seemed like he could burn out in an instant if she looked away.

"...I don't intend to become a burden. I won't interfere with your way of life. I may be foolish and weak, but I don't want to be someone who holds you back."

Please, forget about hatred. Don't help others, just look at me... No, she had no intention of uttering such embarrassing words. She would keep this love hidden deep within her heart.

"That's why, Kurou."

Tiana made up her mind. She wouldn't make any demands of him. She would devote herself to being a woman in the shadows. With that determination, the girl placed her hand on Kurou's clothing.

"I don't know if you’ll return from tomorrow's battle... It would be so sad if you were to die so easily."

It was too empty for the beloved man to come to an end without leaving anything behind. Ah, could such a tragedy be forgiven? Even if she couldn't assist in the fight, even if she was weak and foolish, she would not let such a fate befall him. And so,

"Please, sleep, Kurou... I'll take your seed."

And the light at the bedside was extinguished. In the embrace of the night, Tiana gently held the beloved man close... That's how it was.

"Hmm...! (Huh? It feels like I'm enveloped in something soft and nice-smelling...?)"

――Tiana finally went on a rampage, completely misunderstanding the situation!

Yes, the image of Kurou inside her was nothing but an illusion! He wasn't a gentle man with a shattered heart; he was a scatterbrained, pathetic guy!

"Gwoh~...! (Hmm, I must be sitting on a giant marshmallow. Let's take a bite!)"

"Hanh!?"

In the darkness of the night, the girl let out a scream-like voice due to the half-asleep antics of the clueless man. However,

"Ah, Kurou, Kurou...! ♡ Even though you're asleep, you're accepting me...! ♡ That's great, keep biting, licking, and sucking! ♡

...And yet, she, driven by the sensations bestowed upon her by the man she loved, felt even pain as happiness and continued her actions without stopping.

She swiftly undressed, making her way towards the finish line. Despite claiming not to want to become a burden, her nature was gravity pushed to the extreme.

"Sphee! (It feels so good!)"

"Ah, Kurou, Kurou, Kurou, Kurou! ♡ If you get injured and can't fight anymore, I'll take care of you forever, okay! ♡"

And so, in this manner, with an insufficient understanding of the situation, and her maiden circuit gone haywire, she raced towards the limit...! The worst love story was born here, in all its explosive glory.
