Magic Bullet in Magic Land

Chapter Volume 1 7

Chapter 007 - Showgirl

This citadel was just like its name, [Fortress], it was a city fortified by two stages of castle walls.

The city was built three-hundred years ago, back when the territory of the Belcania Allied Nations was smaller and the Alwina Kingdom’s border was more inland.

The fort city was originally built as a large scale frontal base, built as a power demonstration for the Alwina Kingdom that repeatedly provoked and launched small-scale attacks near the border.

Before long, the power of the Alwina Kingdom was sapped little by little by the cooperation of the nations. With the borderline shifting, the importance of this Citadel as a frontal base also gradually decreased. This was roughly around one-hundred fifty years ago.

Furthermore, as time rolled by, the people from the Belcania Allied Nation came and built some villages amidst the Alwina Kingdom’s former land.

Therefore, traveling merchants started to use the Citadel as a relay point to procure local specialities. Eventually, the number of the population started growing.

Following the course of time, the number of soldiers slowly decreased and the merchants negotiated with the Commander of the base in order to borrow the facilities and sites that weren’t used. Soon, people were drawn by the products and started to gather at this base where money and people flourished.

When the buildings were no longer able to accommodate the population, the people started building their own houses and shops. Thereby the number of structures kept expanding?????and in the end it became the present-day fortress city.

“Now it is being used as a relay base to send substitute personnel and supplies to the border, merchants and veteran soldiers also gathered here from the villages surrounding the Citadel, and that makes it really lively....... But not anymore.”

“Because there are not much people besides the soldiers huh?”

“It is because the information regarding the Alwina Army’s invasion quickly approaching has been spread long time ago. However, even though the residents had taken refuge in the opposite direction of town, there are still a large number of population left in the middle of evacuation. At the very least, it's good if we could complete the evacuation before the Alwina Army arrives here......”

With Ordy’s sign, Karito was able to witness the present state of the town inside the Fortress city while he concluded the explanation for his first visit to the Citadel.

Just like the story from this two people, the former bustling Citadel completely disappeared, and you can’t even find a shadow of a regular citizen wandering in the streets. The only people they passed on the street was a guard equipped with a weapon and armor, and a mercenary who came here after sniffing out the scent of money from this war.

They were advancing through the main street towards the center of the town, even though the shops were still open, not many people can be seen. It seemed that the residents of this area quickly evacuated the moment they heard that the Alwina Army was approaching.

Nevertheless, for Karito, it's still rare to see Middle Ages Europe like buildings, build with stones and bricks within modern Japan. There were also townscapes with wooden buildings crowded with soldiers of various race.(There were normal humans, women with tails and ears, with wings, quadrupedalism, and some other seldom seen humanoids.) It was interesting just to watch. Reona and Rina eyes shine. The world outside their village was totally oblivious to them for many years.

Under tight security, these three people seemed to be content to be able to enjoy the landscape plenty enough. Ordy can’t help but gave a wry smile to these three people.

With Ordy’s subordinate as a guide, Karito and co arrived at the previous City Hall where government officials do their administration work???? located adjacent to the Defense Force barracks.

Originally, the City Hall was the frontline headquarters back in the olden days. It was turned back into headquarters with the invasion of the Alwina Army so there were a lot of people going in and out from the building.

Before long, they arrived at the barracks. The former headquarters made out of stone, now became a City Hall and barracks at the same time. It was surrounded by deep moats and had the atmosphere of being the last defense. The carriage stopped in front of the barracks across the bridge, the building seemed like a mid scale elementary school building.

“I need to make a report at the headquarters. My subordinate will guide you to the barracks, you three can take a rest in a vacant room. The others can store back or tend their equipment for the next operation.”

“I understand, Father”

“I will be under your care”

They separated from Ordy, and went inside the barracks together with the soldiers they were assigned with.

There were a lot of soldiers coming and going hastily in the barracks. Karito was surprised when he saw a boy around junior high school, carrying bundles of sheathed longsword that passed by him. Even though he looked liked in lower position, but that child was also a soldier?

Eventually, they arrived at their destination, it was a room located at the corner of the three story building. There was a desk and chair, two bunk beds, and a long wooden box which can be used to hold stuff and can be used as a chair or desk, it was a simple layout overall.

“I am sorry, but this is the only available room that is good enough to be used as a sleeping quarter. Because of the Alwina invasion, by the orders from the Royal Capital, many reinforcements have arrived here , so there is insufficient numbers of bed.”

“Err, in short....?”

“I want you three to share this room. I understand that you guys are the daughters and the benefactor of the Captain, however we can’t do anything now. Can you please endure it?”

“Is it not okay if we sleep on father's room? If it's alright, we don't need to use this room.”

“The problem is.... Because there are highly classified important reports there, so even if you are a family of the Captain, we can’t allow you, an outsider, to enter the room.”

“Then it can’t be helped. Ah, can you at least bring a hot water and a towel? We ran inside the forest and we want to clean up even if it's only for my younger sister.”

“Then, I will bring it later. Please wait a moment.”

“Sorry for the trouble.”

The soldier left. Reona heaved a heavy sigh and dived into the lower bed, Karito and Rina also sat down on the wooden box and sighed from fatigue.

“”“So tired.......”””

The three groaned in unison without a single word difference. They had been chased all night fighting desperately, they also got involved in a massacre, so it was natural to accumulate fatigue. It was hard to relax in the carriage when they were being tormented by the irregular shaking, and it was like an oven inside.

Exhaustion burst out at once as the three people took a posture they felt the best to relax. Karito stretched out both of his legs as he leaned on the wall, as for Reona, she was lying face down on the bed, her beast ears and tail didn’t even twitch because of fatigue. However, in case of these two people, the fatigue wasn’t physically, but mentally.

Amongst them, Rina, who was the youngest didn’t have much strength and started to doze off while sitting straight, and fell to Karito’s thigh who was sitted next to her and buried her face there. Before long, the sound of even breathing can be heard.

“Looks like she is really tired. Sorry Reona, please move a little bit.”

“Nn......”

After Reona reluctantly raised her body to make a space, Karito lightly lifted the small body of Rina and carried her to the bed. She didn’t even stir up from all this motion.

While the older sister of the girls was feeling lazy herself, she still combed the hair of the girl who had the same color as herself while smiling.

“We are able to escape to father’s place and felt relieved for a while. But, those guys from the Alwina Army will invade here again immediately....”

“However, I think it will take a little while for the Alwina Army to be able to invade again.”

“Why is that?”

“It is because of me. Because I killed a lot of soldiers there, though I didn’t know the overall percentage, they still lost several hundred soldiers in the unexpected battle, so it will not be strange if they are in state of confusion right now.”

“That is true I guess. Doesn’t that means that you can stale the Alwina Army by yourself!?”

“I didn’t know how much time I would be able to buy. I do not know how many their total force have either.”

Karito said so responding to Reona’s praise, while he returned back to the wooden box completely exhausted.

Because the opponent wasn’t a gathering of bandits or militiamen, but a full-fledge regular army of a country, Karito can’t imagine how he can take them on no matter how much he thinks about it.

They possibly can be numbered in tens of thousands. However, Karito doesn’t know the strength of Alwina Kingdom in detail so he can only guess about it. It is a bad move to underestimate the enemy’s strength, but it is not good to overestimate it either.

“Karito, what do you intend to do after this?”

“That is difficult question. I don’t have anywhere to go. What will Reona do after this?”

“Well, I am thinking of asking my father to put me in the defense army of this city.”

Reona said without hesitation as she punched her palm with her fist.

Without mistake, her eyes were blazing in revenge.

“Just running around doesn't suit me, above all, I won't stop until I destroy the Alwina Army that invaded and massacred everyone from the village with my own hands. I won't stop even if father stopped me!"”

“What will you do with Rina? Neglecting her isn’t possible right?”

“Au, that is right as expected. But to this point, but, I only left the opponent to Karito until now. If I don't do anything, I will disgrace Garm Tribe's name......”

Reona who had her body exposed fell into depression as her animal ear drooped down completely. He can see a mortified aura emitting from around her.

“I understand Reona’s feeling and I didn’t intend to stop you to take revenge, but I think you need to at least make first priority things first.”

“I know that much, but still.... Arrgh everything is the fault of those Alwina bunch!!”

‘uuUOOO~~~!!!’ Reona gave a shout of anger that sounded like a wolf howl, what Karito worried was not that the voice leaked outside the room.

“Stupid, shh, shhh! Rina-chan is sleeping you know!”

“So, sorry. I just can’t endure it.”

“Luckily there is no one outside, or we will get misunderstood, but????”

Just when Karito felt uneasy about it, the door room was suddenly kicked down by force.

“What happened here!?”

Ordy’s subordinate who brought Karito & co, burst into the room.

In one of his hand was a bucket of hot water which was requested by Reona and the cloth that will be used to wipe her body. The cloth seemed to be of much higher quality than the one that was used to wrap Reona’s body, and his other hand already extended to the sword on his waist.

“No, no, there is nothing! Reona is just got heated up a bit, please don’t mind it!”

“Is, is that so. If possible please refrain to do such thing. Because the invasion army can attack in any time, everyone is already on edge. Here is the hot water and towel that you asked. If you need anything else please look for me, we do not know if we can supply anything you need, but we will do the best we can.”

“Thank you very much.”

The soldier quickly left while receiving Karito’s bow.

At the same time as the door closes, the sound of cloth being removed can be heard behind him. Then he looked back thinking what happened.

“.................”

“N? Karito, why didn’t you undress?”

The knot of the rag cloth which was covering her breast was unfastened (because it was tied and fastened on her back, so it was possible to take it off immediately.) and the naked body of Reona was exposed right in front of Karito.

Karito blank out as Reona was now working on the cloth that was substituted for the loin cloth that covered the lower half of her body. He thereby became panicked and tried to stop her with his hand.

Because Karito inevitably came closer to Reona's side, it’s now impossible to look directly without looking at Reona's abundant breast that was not covered by anything from the valley to the tip, it was out of his calculations.

He can feel her warmth through his nose, and his crotch started to heat up unintentionally. Calm down my body, no matter what it is, it is still too early for any accidental discharge.

“Why on earth did you start undressing!”

“Why, because I want to clean my body, isn’t that natural?”

“It is not, that's not what I mean. Normally you wait until I get out or you will ask ‘I want to wipe my body so please get out.’ After that you can undress, isn't that normal!”

“In the village this was natural.”

What?

“While I was drawing water to fill the tub and was taking a bath, the people from other houses always come around, it was also common for girls and guys to bath in the nearby river together. Is it different from Karito’s place?”

“What an envio.... no no that is not it.”

Now that she mentioned it, Karito remembered vaguely what he read in manga and saw in historical dramas that in Japan’s Edo period, the public bath was usually a mixed bath.

However, isn’t this world too easy going about sexuallity? No, maybe it is just common in a remote village? Or maybe it is just Reona, Karito wasn’t able to distinguish it since he didn’t have any cultural knowledge of this world.

When he thought about Reona’s personality that was very aggressive, maybe it was the latter.

“This is the most popular time in the village. When I was taking a bath, young men from the village came in droves. But these guys only hide at the back, peeking at us and don't want to come out so it wasn't interesting.

“Isn’t that a crime of conscience?”

It was absolutely the latter.

He was half amazed, half headache, Karito was in trouble about what he needed to do and had fallen silent, Reona took this chance to unfasten her waistcloth.

Before Karito was able to stop her, Reona already threw that one piece of rag cloth to the bed. What was left on her body was only a small white underwear that covered her secret part.

“A, a thong!?”

“Because this is much easier to move and take off.”

Reona damped the cloth with hot water and start to wipe her body while humming as she didn’t think much about Karito who has trembled with fear.

The warm cloth which had been soaked with warm water was used to wipe Reona’s healthy light-brown skin, a result of her spending time in the forest for dozens of years. Reona’s voluptuous body under normal circumstances was already filled with a woman’s charm, however looking at this scene where her body became wet increased it even more. Karito had been utterly fascinated by this scene that his reasoning wouldn’t work anymore.

Her arm, shoulder, from her armpit to the back of her neck, and then to her breast. Reona’s finger especially lept over from that swelling part. Her damp swelling part seemed to be sparkling and resembled a peach which had been cooled down inside the cold water. The shaking of her cherry colored tip looked so inviting.

“Even though you are a good man, you sweat up so much so easily”

Reona deliberately complained with a louder voice to Karito who became intoxicated while she lifted up her breast with her free hand to wipe the underside.

The arm was holding it in a way as if she wanted to show it off to Karito, or more precisely she was showing off, how that soft pair of hills were changing shape. Reona’s hand traced the part which had been lifted and was exposed to air. Not only the underside of the breast, she also wiped off the sweat and dirt on the valley and the side carefully. It seemed like she was quite diligent in contrast with her personality and outer appearance.

Before long, Reona finished cleaning the area around her chest and her hand started to move down. She moved it around her stomach which only had a little bit fat and was covered with strong abs that was overflowed with wild charm, and Reona slender finger continued to slide down.

“You know Karito.”

“Fue!? W, what!?”

When he heard someone call him, Karito was like a tuna who was being pulled to the deck and his body began to bounce up and down. Even though Reona is a dog, no a wolf literally, she looked more like a mysterious cat as she had a bewitching smile pasted on her face as their eyes met.

“Sorry, but can you lend me a hand for a while? Because I can’t see my back so I didn’t know if it will be clean enough, so can Karito help me clean my back instead?”

“What.... did.... You say?”

This Ero wolf girl, Reona turned her back suddenly. Her waist shook to the left and right matched with her golden hair tail as if to provoke Karito to hurry on.

He thought of running away from this place so many times already.

But, Karito wasn’t able to do that. Reona’s womanly charm was wildly attacking Karito, and his manly instinct had already been caught tightly.

Inevitably, it had gone too far past his limit. Now, it was impossible for Karito to refuse Reona’s ‘request’.

When he noticed it, the wet cloth was already being held on his hand. Just like a light trapping an insect, Karito approached Reona’s back with shaky steps.

“(....... mou, It's already okay to be at ease right?)”

Karito had been too excited that he absolute could not calm himself down.

The blood concentrated more at the lower half of his body than in his head. In this state, Karito gun that was loaded a long time ago will discharge its first bullet anytime soon. Rather, he was afraid that he will accidentally discharge it.

Incidentally, originally Karito flesh limit was .38 caliber for self defense, however now it had grown splendidly to a 6 inch barrel .44 magnum. He dared not mention what this part was.

Karito who had made up his mind touched Reona’s back.

“Ah, there there, that feels good. It is all right if you do it stronger.”

“Is, is that so. How about like this?”

“Yeah, around there. Just right in the itchy part, I was saved.”

Karito first impression when he held Reona was being surprised that her body was much softer than expected.

Even though her body was filled with wild charm and her body was quite muscular, contractually to it when he touched her skin all her swelling muscle didn’t give an impression of being hard.

It was a wonder where all that burst of power came from this girl, after feeling her body for more than ten minutes, all he felt was its femininity. Even though her skin was unusually smooth and he was permitted to touch all he wants, he have to hold it since it's uncomfortable enough to stroke that smooth skin.

What Karito can attune was that there were no useless part in her body. Other than her tempestuous breast and round bottom, no excess fat can be seen. No matter where he touched, it was soft and supple, Karito had a hard time to get rid of this rude idle thought.

He never had experienced touching a nude female body before, so Karito can’t compare it since this was his first time. He wondered if all the women in this world was like this? Or it is just Reona who was special?

“(well, for now....)”

As his wipes were going lower, he caught a sight of her bushy tail shaking to the left and right. Its root grew between her lumbar vertebrae and around her sacrum. Her naked ass which wasn’t covered with underwear matched with her shaking tail was trying to tempt him.

Karito raised his face and wanted to ask Reona with his eyes. When Reona noticed and met his eyes, she answered with bewitching smile like an evil woman trying to tempt a man.

What was with that smile. Does she try to tell him to continue? This Ero wolf.

“Err, I think Reona alone is enough from this point.?”

“It is okay, you should continue while at it.”

“No, no, that is not the problem. If I continue more than this it will lose strength!”

Reona turned around to answer him. She turns her line of sight downward.

“Far from losing strength, it seems like it is brimming in vitality. As expected, it is a very excellent thing.”

“No no seriously, this isn't something you casually look at, it's embarrassing! Please be more embarrassed!”

Her two mountainous bulges shook furiously when she turned around. Even though it wasn’t the size of watermelons, it was still around the size of small melons, and its hang there pointing upwardly.

When he looked at it there was a little bit extra, although it was late to notice now, but the piece of cloth that was substituted for underwear covering the most important part became transparent. Karito reflectively stared at it and can identify an existence of grass that had the same color as her hair and tail over her cloth.

Because of such scene, he can feel something start to accumulated in his nose. Rather, he was at his limit.

“I, I will go outside!”

“Ah, wait!”

*bam, Karito back disappeared to the other side of door as he closed it.

Even Reona can't remember how embarrassed she was after showing her naked body to a man alone. It's not to the extent of going out outside at her father's workplace nude.

Maybe I teased him a little bit too much. Or rather, I welcomed it if he became excited and attacked me.”

Don’t forget the existence of your sister, you.
