Chapter 69: Punished and Broken (01)
Mollang grabs the core and uses it like a self-pleasure tool, messily shaking it so that the semen absorbed inside her body flows into various parts of her flesh.
Shuru deliberately rubs her fingers around her tail and genitals, purposely stimulating sexual sensations because she has figured out how to handle her heat without any burden.
'This needs to become a habit.'
If initially the master is underestimated, later they might kidnap me like now and use me as they please. It was necessary to clearly establish the hierarchy during this opportunity.
Mollang struggles to maintain her girlish form as she becomes smeared with semen, including her core, while Shuru is already making lewd moans similar to being in heat.
As I firmly reestablished the master-servant relationship, seeing them submissively awaiting punishment with a heated expression, I finally set them down between my legs.
"Since you dragged me into this, you better clean up nicely."
Now, Shuru and Mollang quietly began to clean my lower half.
'Phew... They say the more you use a human body, the stronger it becomes. I definitely feel my virility has increased...'
Previously, two times were average, and three times would exhaust all my stamina, but now, three to four times felt easy, and more than five times were needed before I could feel settled.
Not that the duration has decreased. It just feels like my strength has increased.
'Well... The woman who will be my wife someday will be lucky.'
After Shuru and Mollang had neatly cleaned my lower half and began rubbing their faces on my hand, showing affection, I zipped up and placed Mollang on Shuru, following behind me.
"It's been nice having the dorm to ourselves for a few days."
I bumped into Levin, who commented this after not seeing him for two weeks.
Of course, even if Levin had been gone for a long time and came back, I wouldn't have said anything different.
"By the way, Ban, you probably don't know this?"
"Our standby time has been extended for two weeks."
This was the news Levin shared, having returned before two weeks were up after enduring all that.
"The horse training has been... postponed?"
"There aren't enough horses. Damn..."
Levin spat in frustration, his expression incredulous.
In reality, the horses that arrived at the Magic Knight Order didn't even number forty.
"This time, due to a horse shortage nationwide, by royal command, the horses were first supplied to the Royal Guard. Thanks to that, the horses that did arrive at the Magic Knight Order were also taken away."
'It's too much that the king favors only the Royal Guard...'
"Make sure you guys hide your horses well. The king will snatch them away for the Royal Guard."
For a while, it seemed difficult to conduct horse training at the Magic Knight Order.
Some peers had managed to bring horses, but issues of fairness, relative deprivation, and the need for many to synchronize in horse training meant that if more than half couldn't ride, proper training couldn't begin.
There were two braided cloths hanging on my wrist.
"A gift from sleeping with beautiful sisters?"
Levin asked with a visibly uncomfortable expression.
"You... didn't bring a mare, did you?"
But Levin was misunderstanding... It was naturally a mare since it came from a centaur village that provided milk.
"Yeah, nomadic tribes sometimes do that..."
"It's not like that."
Levin seemed to be misunderstanding something but then disappeared, and eventually, I ended up having an additional two weeks of free time.
"I should have stayed in Eileen's village for a month."
The thought of having rushed back unnecessarily crossed my mind, but then again, leaving Mollang and Shuru alone for a month might mean they'd starve, so it couldn't be helped.
'Next time I go to the Western Plains, I'll take the kids too.'
What should I do during these two leisurely weeks?... As I was pondering, I felt a heavy object in my pocket.
A battle golem core collected after defeating a battle golem from the Sytorax Republic in the Western Plains.
Unlike ordinary artificial intelligence-containing gems, this was made of an unknown material and boasted a durability that wouldn't be damaged even by the high heat of a mana saber, and I'd kept it thinking it might be valuable...
'If the White Rose Knight Order just tramples and destroys it, it might be less valuable than I thought...'
If it's a device from the technologically different Sytorax Republic, it would be useless waste in our kingdom and become a dangerous item if it went back to Sytorax, turning into a battle golem again.
It contained artificial intelligence and power... I couldn't easily think of a use for it.
Too hostile for life to use in intelligence devices, as it might betray or attack its owner, it could only assist in fields where it couldn't harm humans...
"Maybe I should just destroy it. I thought I managed to collect a valuable loot..."
I was about to stomp and shatter the core on the ground when...
"Ah, isn't that the knight!"
An ad man who now naturally walked into the training ground full of flyers put his arm around my shoulder as if we were old friends.
"Have you heard the latest news?"
'Ah, nothing good ever involves this guy...'
But since I was bored, I listened quietly to the advertisement.
"This time, the sale of homunculi for sexual purposes has been declared legal. However, they must be manufactured with a lifespan of no more than 72 hours."
Since they normally dissolve within 24 hours, it wouldn't be a problem.
"So here's the flyer!"
Naturally, the gentleman handed me a flyer.
'If he’s this good at salesmanship, he should start his own business instead of just distributing flyers. He'd probably be wildly successful...'
I read the flyer out of curiosity.
[Breaking News: Homunculus Trade Approved by the Senate!]
[Now get a homunculus cheaper than shoes at home without the fear of illegalities!]
[Homunculus craftsman Frederica Endymion personally conceives each homunculus, now only 300 gold!]
Wow... shoot, the prices have gone up.
It's not surprising they've increased since the last time I used them when they were discounted, but it still felt bad seeing them rise over 50%.
"These days, orders for homunculi are booming, you know? But since you're a regular, Sir Knight, maybe you can get yours quickly if you reserve now."
After the last shock of receiving a homunculus without a hole... it was off-putting, but the first homunculus I got wouldn't be bad if it just had some artificial intelligence...
'Artificial intelligence...'
I looked down at the battle golem core I had been stepping on.
As a knight... I had captured a combatant from a hostile nation.
To interrogate such a prisoner... they would first need a vocal cord capable of producing sound, right?
Then, would I need to provide a body?
"Heh... Sir Knight, you look too pleased."
Facial control, facial control.
'Really, business is doing well.'
Dozens of coffins were being loaded onto a carriage, and to an onlooker, it might seem like a mass exhumation from a cemetery.
Of course, what was inside were not corpses but rather homunculi created to discharge all sorts of sexual desires.
"Hahaha! Welcome, customers! Here at our legal homunculus workshop!"
Frederica greeted me at the entrance with a very happy expression, but the dark circles under her eyes suggested she had been up all night crafting due to the booming business.
"Come inside first. Loyal customers must be treated well."
'Back when I used to visit for inspections, I was the only customer.'
The number of manufacturing homunculi had more than doubled since my last visit. They used to just do their tasks and pass the time dully, but now they were busily moving about without a moment’s rest.
Homunculi were being born nonstop, from those with breasts larger than a human head within a broken flask, to small homunculi slightly larger than Shuru, to homunculi with three breasts.
While I was marveling at these unimaginable sights, Frederica covered my eyes with her hand.
"You shouldn't see this. Few customers enjoy their goods being exposed to the eyes of a stranger."
'Talk about an unusual dedication to craftsmanship.'
I too would feel uncomfortable if someone saw the homunculus I ordered, so I avoided looking as I followed Frederica inside.
"So, what brings you?"
"I’d like to request a specially made homunculus."
"How far do you want to go? Multiple arms or legs, or perhaps modifying some of the internal organs, or maybe a body that can regenerate despite being disfigured..."
Just hearing about it was horrifying, and I stopped Frederica from saying more.
"I just need something ordinary, but with all combat functions thoroughly removed."
"Ordinary? But why do you need a custom homunculus?"
"Well, the standard products here have mana circuits, right? I’d prefer it to be made with weaker muscles for safety, with some modifications added. For instance, having nerves that are more sensitive to pleasure than those of an ordinary person..."
"Planning to tame artificial intelligence?"
Frederica quickly grasped my intention from that comment.
"Ah... how did you know?"
"Our purchased artificial intelligences are also tamed that way."
She pulled out three gems containing artificial intelligences from her drawer, each shining brilliantly and looking incredibly expensive.
"It’s easy to make. Any requests for the appearance?"
"Yes. As for the appearance..."
I was about to ask for it to be made any which way when a thought struck me.
"Can it be similar to number three but a bit more robust, like a warrior type?"
"You want to use my appearance again?"
'Ah shoot, it’s annoying when she says it like that.'
While Frederica might look like a pretty girl, and the homunculus modeled after her, number three, was also beautiful, the fact that Frederica's content was actually an old man, Frederick Endymion, was decidedly less exciting.
"It’s possible. Obviously, the purpose is..."
"Hehehe... And I’d also appreciate it if you could provide a place."
"Such a demanding customer."
With that, the lascivious contract was completed, and I paid for the production using part of the money I had earned from defeating the battle golem.
A total of 1000 gold, quite expensive for merely creating a body.
'Having spent the money, I might as well get my money’s worth.'
Watching the body grow rapidly, I began to mentally prepare myself.
An hour later, after receiving a signal that number three was ready, I drank the virility enhancer provided by Frederica as a service and entered the room.
There, resembling number three but taller and more robust, was a female knight in broken armor, chained up.
"Hehe... this is the real charm of a female knight."
Not that I would regard other female knights like Erin or Vanerim in that way.
Swallowing my saliva, I used the artificial intelligence transplant device received from Frederica to extract the artificial intelligence from the core and attach it to the female knight's mouth.
"......!! Where is this?"
The fun times were just beginning.
