Volume 6, Chapter 8: Aunt
"Oh my, I seem to have made a mistake," Aunt Hitomi exclaimed upon seeing the captured Apollo.
"But you know, because it's love, I thought it would be okay to make a move on my nephew, but it's not really a good idea... However, this boy, you see, he's quite handsome and tall, and above all, muscular."
Aunt Ai tore apart Apollo's supposedly invulnerable leather armor with her bare hands, revealing his chest.
Terrifyingly, she contained him effortlessly with her formidable strength, even Apollo couldn't resist.
"That child is probably an ex-pirate, now a noble of Patrida," Aunt Rui smiled atop Yamata no Orochi.
"Oh, being a pirate is quite intriguing," Aunt Hitomi exclaimed joyfully.
"Really! It's amazing how a man like that is taken control of. It's the best!" Aunt Ai also laughed.
Aunt Hitomi and Aunt Ai nonchalantly continued to tear Apollo's leather clothing to shreds.
"No, no! Help!" Apollo cried out like a girl.
This is getting out of hand.
But wait, Aunt Rui, Aunt Hitomi, and Aunt Ai... huh?
"Um, can I ask something? Um, your father is my grandfather, right?" I asked Aunt Rui.
"Yes, that's right, the former king," she replied.
"Um... the former king who liked shiba dogs, was he also an anime geek?" I asked hesitantly.
"Oh, our names. The person who was my uncle and the former prime minister said he took them from Japanese manga," Aunt Rui chuckled.
No way.
The former prime minister was a hardcore anime geek too.
Even though his name is "Kya-Cute Eye."
Oh wait.
Based on the story, the aunts are still in their thirties.
"Um, you know, you're beautiful and all. Can't you get married?" If you're in your mid-thirties, there's still time, right?
"You fool. Love that's obtained by force from an unwilling partner is not real love," Aunt Rui smiled.
Oh no, she's broken.
"It's useless. This royal family is useless. Someone has to destroy it..."
I muttered under my breath.
"It doesn't matter, but on top of Lindblum, your step-brother. He's in danger," Colonel Knicht of Schirach, riding a red-armored wyvern next to me, warned.
"Huh? Here of all places?"
It's getting a bit dim, but isn't this place completely exposed?
"Oh no! This is bad!" Apollo's voice sounded distressed.
This is really bad.
But still, can I just go all out against my aunts? Is it okay to destroy everything? It doesn't matter if they're my aunts, right?
"Um, serious question. Can I just go all out against my aunts? Can I destroy everything? It doesn't matter that they're my aunts, right?"
I trembled with anger.
"I'll come with you. Let's do it!" Murasaki agreed.
Aoi and Princess Miyabi nodded too.
I raised my right hand's emblem.
"Um, Saint Tree Armored Soldier is impossible. Saint Tree won't help," Aoi said.
"No, I've decided! Follow me! Lend me your power!" I shouted.
I leaped off the wyvern's back and yelled.
Numerous plants emerged from my right hand emblem, transforming into a dragon-shaped power suit, about five meters tall, covering my entire body.
The dragon-like powered suit spread its wings and took flight.
"Saint Tree Armored Soldier? Is that child already awakened?" Aunt Rui trembled.
"Lend me your power!"
As I shouted, a rifle-like object formed from the trees and appeared in my right hand.
I aimed and fired.
The biological laser erupted, blowing up the mountain behind Yamata no Orochi.
Incredible destructive power.
"Wait, this is bad! Rui-nee, run!" Aunt Ai yelled.
Lindblum moved incredibly, depositing Apollo onto a large wyvern's back and then making its escape.
"Damn it! It's my first time using this weapon, and not only is it not working well, but the meddling Saint Tree is getting in the way!"
Once again, I aimed the rifle of the Saint Tree Armored Soldier, but Lindblum was already gone.
"Truly fast! However, I'll take care of Yamata no Orochi!" I turned towards Yamata no Orochi and Aunt Rui, but Yamata no Orochi was already nowhere to be seen.
"What? Where is it? Where did it escape to?" I asked Aoi.
"It escaped into a cave below the mountain at an incredible speed," Aoi replied.
I aimed the rifle in the direction Aoi pointed and fired.
The area around the cave erupted in massive explosions, obliterating it.
"Well, it escaped," Murasaki said, looking troubled.
"Damn it!"
I looked at Apollo, still muttering as the Saint Tree Armored Soldier.
"It's been defiled... it's been defiled."
This is bad.
For now, Murasaki took out a large cloth and covered the half-naked Apollo.
I can't watch this.
"If we stay here any longer, who knows what might happen. Since my two companions on the large wyverns will carry Apollo, let's head out to sea like this and take the ship that's already set sail from Padrida to leave Yamato," I suggested while still in the Saint Tree Armored Soldier.
While carrying the muttering Apollo and Murasaki, I flew towards the sea.
"Yamato really is a villain, isn't it?" Murasaki said with a sigh.
