The commander's barracks was indeed quiet, as what Lucy told me.
As for the reason, most of the rooms seemed to be unoccupied.
"This is my room, though it's a bit cramped for two people to live in."
I was taken to a room in the third floor of a five-story building.
It was said that the rooms below this level were reserved for commanders
from the commoner class, while the rooms above here were reserved for
those from the higher nobility.
Lucy urged me to go inside, and when I entered, I found it similar to a
studio-type hotel room.
And at the very least, it was a much nicer environment than the rundown
apartment I was staying in back in my world.
Still...how do you say this...it certainly is small. More cramped than I
expected on what an aristocrat may have.
"What a beautiful room. It's at least a dozen times better than the barracks
where five or six people sleep together in one room."
After I walked to the inside, I looked back at Lucy behind me.
"Really? I'm glad you like it."
And yet, this woman still didn't have a shred of a clue to what's about to
happen after this.
Well, now that I have come this far, I will not let this chance slip away. So
let's bet my all on this.
"Milady, could you please come over here?"
I beckoned Lucy over to me, keeping my inner thoughts hidden.
I'm pretty good at pretending to be calm, and unless one has a good
intuition, they would probably not notice.
Sure enough, she approached me without being alarmed.
"Okay? But is it possible to build up the kind of courage that would be
useful on the battlefield in this kind of room?"
She seemed to be wondering, perhaps because she knew how scary the
actual battlefield was.
Well, here goes nothing. I exhaled once to calm myself down and opened
my mouth for the following words. This ch ap ter tr ansl at ion is ma de po
ssi ble by sta bb ing wit h a sy ri nge tr an slati ons. che ck up -to- date tr
anslat ion s on my Wor dpr ess s ite.
"Pardon me for my bluntness, Lady Finlay. But are you, perhaps, still a
virgin?"
"What ...? Oh, that ...… that ....."
Lucy became surprised and flustered at the sudden question. From that
reaction alone, it's evident that she's a virgin.
"Uh ... yes. Is something the matter?'
Lucy's face turns red with shame, but she still answers in a friendly manner.
I felt strangely tempted to tease her, but I shook off the thought and
continued with my story.
"Then I suggest Lady Finlay to bid farewell to her innocence first."
"Eeeeehh!!?"
Yep, that's the right reaction.
"Why does my innocence have anything to do with losing my fear of the
battlefield?"
"Please calm down. I'm well aware that it's something important for
women. But this is also why it's the most effective way for Lady Finlay to
surpass this fear."
As I said this, I slowly explained to Lucy.
For women, virginity is a part of them that they are very conscious of, so
when it is lost, usually, it makes a drastic change in their personality.
It is said that once they lose their virginities, women become more daring
and fearless.
However, there's also another motive as to why I am suggesting this – the
real reason.
Usually, when the woman is a virgin, she becomes emotionally attached to
her "first time partner", even if she isn't in an intimate relationship with
him.
If she takes a liking to me, I'll be in for a whole lot of money.
Yes. What I'm doing right now is also akin to selling my body – the only
thing I have right now besides my life.
Reverse-gold digging, perhaps?
However, if I fuck this up, I'll be in for a very big loss.
Seeing how magic played a significant role in giving a big buff to the
soldiers, even a meek Lucy in front of me would be akin to a dragon, or
worse.
"That's a fine point. But that doesn't mean it will all work out. ..."
Lucy is confused but refutes my words.
She's indecisive when the going gets tough. It's this kind of personality that
makes people hesitate to trust her on the battlefield.
Even if we end up having a good relationship here, if she doesn't fix this
personality after this, I might as well just cut her off after using her as a
stepping stone.
An indecisive commander is all the more dangerous. Not only do you have
to worry about your front, but you also have to worry about your rear.
"That may be true, but I believe in this method. Of course, if there is some
reason you can't comply, I will try another method. But by then, I won't be
able to guarantee it will work."
I don't know much about the customs of this country yet. That, and if purity
has an essential meaning to them.
If it does, I'll just give up and find another way. If I force it, who knows
when my head will be on the chopping block.
As I was thinking about the alternatives, Lucy looked up at me as if she had
made up her mind.
"...I understand. Please do it."
"Are you sure? There's no turning back to this if you do."
I was surprised to see Lucy agree to a proposal I had already half-given up
on.
If she's up for it, I'll do my best to accommodate her.
And if the training shows results, her trust in me will increase.
"I'll gladly give up my innocence if it means I'll be able to achieve results
in battle."
"I see. Well said, milady. I knew you're always a brave woman."
I nodded at Lucy's words with praise and immediately began to prepare.
"First, let's get started by getting used to a man's body, shall we?"
After I said that, I put my hand on Lucy's shoulder and made her kneel as I
sat on the only bed in the room.
"Uhm, what should I do?"
"You don't have to be in such a hurry. I have to make preparations on my
end, too."
I loosened the belt of my pants. Then I bared my meat bar in front of Lucy.
"Hyaaa!? W-what the hell is that monstrosity!?"
Lucy lets out a loud scream and shrinks back.
"So, this is your first time seeing it, huh. Yeah, I think so too. It's certainly
quite monstrous on that side...."
If she sees it in such a way, then it's convenient.
"For now, let's pretend that this is a monster you are trying to defeat."
"Defeat? But how can I defeat it without any weapon?"
"You have a weapon. Your whole body can be a weapon to defeat this
thing."
I took her shivering hand and pulled her to the bed.
"Ah, kyaa!?"
Lucy lets out a small, cute scream towards it. However, I didn't feel any
will to resist, just a surprise from being caught off guard.
I decided to go further and take her clothes off.
The first thing that appeared when I undressed her was her big tits, which
had been asserting their presence since the day I met her.
"Wait, please...If you want them off, I can do it by myself...ahnn,
nnh!"
I then began to run my tongue over the parts of her body that were much
more mature than her still-childish face.
"Hiuuu, hnn, mmmh! I'm just getting licked, but it already feels this
good…."
Eventually, she started to accept the pleasure, and her enchanting voice
began to get loud.
"Yes, that's it. Just accept the pleasure. Allow yourself to be carried away."
As I watched Lucy's reactions, I also reached for her lower body.
I slipped my hand inside her clothes and rubbed her private area over her
underwear.
"Oh, no, not there! Hyauuu, it's touching me, he's touching me!"
Despite her words of refusal, I still felt her secret area that is becoming wet
through the thin piece of fabric.
At first, the only sound was rubbing my fingers against the cloth. But after a
short time, I could already hear some nasty sounds of fluids from the inside.
If y u are a b le to re ad this m ess age, yo u are re adi ng from an una uth
ori zed ag gr ega te site. Re ad at my Wor dPr ess to su p port me and m y
trans lat ions.
When I realized this, I knew that my torment is becoming satisfying for
Lucy.
"Lady Finlay is a virgin, and for that, I need to prepare your body carefully.
I have to check the insides as well."
I then used my index finger to penetrate her vagina, the area to which no
one had ever gone in just yet.
"Oh no, it's coming in! Yuushin's finger is going so deep!"
"Please be at ease and don't move so much, milady. This needs to be
carefully done, or it will damage your hymen."
"But even if you say that...ahh! My hips are moving on their own!"
Lucy's lower body is starting to twitch as if she is being consumed by the
pleasure.
Her expression is also beginning to melt in a good way.
"I could feel yours tightening between my fingers. It feels good to be
played with like this, doesn't it?"
"No, it can't be! I'm not a lewd woman, but how can I feel this good!?"
Lucy denies in a sweet voice as she catches her breath.
However, her body is saying otherwise as her private parts continue to
overflow love juices from within.
(Her insides are also starting to loosen up. It's time to move to the real
thing.)
Lucy is breathing heavily from the caresses on her upper and lower
erogenous zones.
To this, I carefully picked her up and spoke to her in a compelling way.
"It looks like you're all set. Let's start with the real course, shall we?"
"Haa, haaa, haaa...okay."
She looked a little lost from the pleasure, but she was able to answer well.
I think she's gonna be fine from hereon.
"However, from this time onwards, milady will have to do it on her own. It
will be all for naught if you don't face the fear yourself."
Of course, I didn't forget to emphasize that I'm doing this to help Lucy gain
the courage she needed to go into battle.
It's easier for her to motivate herself that way.
But if I'm asked my true desires, I'd like to take Lucy's virginity personally.
"You're right. It should be me who should finish the monster off...."
It seems that she has not forgotten her original purpose. That's good.
However, she's still too embarrassed to move on her own, probably because
of my foreplay on her earlier.
Then again, I think overcoming that shame is also good training to build up
your courage.
"Haaa, fuuhh....then, here I go."
After taking deep breaths, Lucy Finlay raised her body up. And this time,
she had a renewed determination in her eyes, a huge difference compared
from before.
