Campione 07

by Great Sage Equaling Heaven

  In a rare moment, Erica was complaining with an angry expression.

  Acting so gracefully all the time, she must have kept things pent up for a very long time.

  Godou smiled wryly slightly, for Erica was currently very adorable. For a girl so talented and refined that it was difficult to think of her as being the same age, one would never expect her to cast aside her usual composure so completely.

  To have accumulated so much dissatisfaction without revealing a single sign on her face, she truly was lacking in being upfront.

  "Godou, you need to listen to me more seriously — mmm, mmm~~"

  Irritated, Godou simply raised Erica's chin and kissed her.

  Erica closed her lips and struggled, but not in earnest. After all, she possessed greater arm strength than me. Had she been serious, I would have been pushed away immediately.

  Very quickly Erica began to settle down and started to savor Godou's lips as if lusting after them.

  "...You really do act differently when using the [Youth], toying with me like this..."

  "Not really that different. It's just that I can openly speak out those words I could never say normally."

  As Godou whispered into the ear of Erica whose eyes were already intoxicated, he continued with the process.

  Godou raised his magical power of a Campione's, refining it into the divine warlord's [Protection].

  Through kissing, it was delivered into the body of the girl before his eyes. The [Youth] incarnation offered the ability to bestow [Protection] upon the receiver via mouth-to-mouth, giving them the same relentless vitality of a Campione's as well as granting an explosive increase in magical and spiritual powers.

  But in the process of delivering the protection, intense pain would be felt by the receiver. Seeing her suffer so much previously, this time Godou fed the protection drop by drop to Erica, who moaned "ah..." lightly.

  "Besides, you've already vowed before, until the destruction of the world, you will always stay by my side... Then just shut up with the nagging about all these pointless things."

  "It's not meaningless. As your number one lover, it is extremely important to me."

  Kissing repeatedly, the two whispered quietly.

  "Ranking companions is not my style. What's important is everyone does their job no matter what their position, right? However... If you really want it that badly, I don't mind saying it out loud. You are the most precious person to me... That should satisfy you, right?"

  "...Now that is not Erica Blandelli's style."

  Godou kissed Erica's earlobe as he spoke while the beautiful girl, more gorgeous than anyone, answered as she panted.

  "After all, you are the one who silently accepted the trump fourth hitter."

  "I hope you can address me as queen, and by the way, I don't know terms about any sport as lowly as baseball."

  Finally, Erica said something more in tune with her usual style.

  "Godou... Try being more forceful. Perhaps because it's the second time, it doesn't hurt as much. I want to receive even more of your power, and I want the deepest part of my body to carry your [Protection] that keeps me safe. So hurry..."

  "No, I'm sorry, but this will have to wait."

  Godou shook his head at the blonde beauty who pleaded passionately with him. Since Erica had stabilized, he wanted to check out the condition of the other girls, for the two Hime-Miko should be in worse shape than the knights.

  "Hmph, come on... Fine, but finish faster and come back to continue, I want every part of my body to communicate with Godou."

  After a deep kiss that was like a tight vacuum, Erica finally allowed their bodies to be separated.

  Godou once again examined the two Hime-Miko lying together side by side. Due to the extreme exhaustion from divine possession, Ena's breathing was very weak. Yuri's condition was also quite poor. The [Youth]'s power told Godou that forcefully performing spirit vision had greatly strained her mind and brain.

  Godou began to use Verethragna's incarnation in earnest. Focusing his attentions, Godou transmuted magical power in his energy center[71] into the [Protection] of salvation.

  He first sat down next to the Hime-Miko of the Sword.

  "Seishuuin, your body seems to be in a severe condition."

  "Yes, right, I'm sorry, Ena cannot help Your Majesty in this state..."

  Ena struggled to respond to Godou's call.

  "Don't speak like that, you have already tried your best. This time it is my turn to give you power, but this power does not come without a price. If you — Seishuuin Ena, do not possess the determination to follow me into the deepest abyss of hell, I cannot give it to you."

  Godou placed his hand on the shoulder of the raven-haired Hime-Miko.

  "Whether alive or dead, or facing any god, I have to come first. You must live for me alone, and I will never abandon you to gods, devils, or fate."

  Asking an elite Hime-Miko like Ena to abandon her path and choose me instead was really an unreasonable request.

  "If you do that, I can give you the necessary power. How's that? Become my companion."

  Swearing a great oath of treasuring for a life time and promising to bring happiness to the other person.

  Those were actions for the kind-hearted but otherwise useless people. I am not the same. You shall live for the king and die for the king. Consider it a curse of a life time.

  Only those who have accepted such a life are allowed to serve beside the likes of Campiones.

  "Yes, Ena swears that whether her sword or her strength, all will be used only for Your Majesty! So please treat Ena the same as Erica, and let Ena be Your Majesty's possession!"

  She replied immediately. Seishuuin Ena truly was the girl that Erica saw as her competitor.

  As if passionately entreating, Ena embraced Godou tightly.

  "I don't mind even if I cannot be your wife or concubine. Just let Ena stay by your side forever, even as a secret woman who cannot be exposed to the public, Ena's family will have no objections..."

  "Idiot, don't speak ridiculously like that anymore."

  Godou spoke as he glanced at Erica.

  The self-styled first lady candidate made a look that seemed to say 'do as you please' and shrugged her shoulders.

  "I don't like to rank my companions, so you are not allowed to say that 'being an underground lover is fine' or anything like that."

  "Yes, got it, Ena understands, Your Majesty — Mmmm..."

  The chatting could not continue, for Godou had forcefully sealed Ena's lips.

  The bold, unrestrained and genuine girl rolled her eyes as she accepted the forceful kiss. Like Yuri, she seemed to be completely unexperienced in this area.

  Godou extended his tongue into her mouth. The initial touch seemed to cause her great surprise, stiffening her body, but Godou disregarded it and continued his assault.

  Flipping her tongue, licking her teeth, pressing his lips down upon hers.

  Thus the wizardry channel between him and Ena was established — the path for transmitting [Protection] was complete.

  "Ah, aaaaah~~"

  "Seishuuin? Does it hurt a lot? Should I go a little gentler?"

  "I-It's fine... I can bear it, b-but I am a bit scared..."

  Ena opened her lips as she described how she felt, surprising Godou by inserting her tongue into his mouth.

  Extremely soft, without any hard parts to it, the tongue ventured into Godou's mouth in trepidation. Godou attacked in return, pinning down her tongue, entangling together and intimately became one.

  "Though it's scary, Ena will definitely bear it. Please treat Ena the way you like! Now that Ena is also Your Majesty's woman... I will properly do my duty...!"

  Hugging tightly and passionately kissing nonstop, Ena was very inviting of tender affection. At the same time, the desire to trample and ravish her was rising.

  Godou began to send a little bit of Verethragna's [Protection] into Ena's energy center beneath the navel.

 
; "Ah... Ah~~!?"

  From Ena's mouth came brief moans as she separated from Godou's lips.

  However, after a brief respite of ten-odd seconds, the Hime-Miko of the Sword once again sought the kiss of her master.

  "S-so with this, Ena has become Your Majesty's woman, right? I won't lose to Erica-san or Liliana-san... Or even Yuri... As an acceptable lover... Right!? More... Let Ena feel even more of Your Majesty's power!"

  Ena sucked Godou's mouth, continuously with passion and power.

  Godou generously accepted her bravery and willfulness. Ena, who usually did as she pleased, was consciously trying to be brave. Though a little odd, it made her especially adorable.

  "From Your Majesty's body I can feel Ama no Murakumo, so it really lies dormant within you. Hoho, Ama no Murakumo had been anxious because you wouldn't use it... By the way, Ena is already much better, Your Majesty should take care of Yuri now... Please..."

  "Even if you didn't remind me, I was going to do that."

  As Godou finished, Ena immediately reached out to her Hime-Miko friend lying beside them, placing her hand over the hand of Yuri, who had been hurt from using spirit vision forcefully.

  Yuri had yet to awaken and her consciousness was fuzzy.

  Trembling, Ena was barely able to support herself and took her childhood friend in her arms.

  "Your Majesty... Hurry and... for her..."

  Embracing Yuri from behind, Ena urged quietly. The two beautiful Hime-Miko sat there side by side.

  Yuri had already sworn eternal allegiance to Godou, so there was no need to force her to make a new oath. Godou casually drew near her face and stole the lips of the unconscious Yuri.

  As he poured slightly stronger [Protection] in her, Yuri's body began to lean back a bit.

  "G-Godou-san? And why is Ena-san here as well?"

  She seemed to have recovered consciousness. From her lips came a query as well as heavy panting.

  Once again, Godou sealed her lips with his own and whispered to her quietly.

  "I will make you mine, do you still object?"

  "Yuri, let's all become His Majesty's women. Though it hurts a bit, bear it for a little while."

  "Yes, very well... I-I have made my decision, please do as you wish, Godou-san."

  Before Godou, Yuri liberated her fiery-hot body.

  Supported by Ena, the quintessential Yamato Nadeshiko leaned her maiden body against him.

  "Mariya, how do you feel now? Does it hurt?"

  Kissing her repeatedly, their tongues tangled and they exchanged saliva.

  Yuri was still a bit clumsy the first time, but now she seemed to have fully accustomed herself to it.

  Although she was not as bold as Erica, Yuri responded to Godou's actions whole-heartedly, catering to him with genuine sincerity. The wizardry channel began to connect between them.

  It's about time? Godou refined magical power into [Protection] and forced it deeply into the furthest reaches of Yuri's body.

  "——!?"

  Locked mouth-to-mouth with Godou, Yuri's body began to tremble.

  "Should I go a little less forcefully?"

  It should be hurting a lot, but the beautiful Hime-Miko shook her head.

  "No, there is no need, pain is fine... I will endure, so please bestow your divine power unto me, and use my body to receive your power."

  Yuri's gaze moistened, and she kissed Godou's lips as if trying to envelope them entirely.

  The intimate sense of contact between mucous membranes was frighteningly bewitching, making Godou more and more aroused.

  "M-My consciousness has now become lucid... It is all thanks to your protection. Please, give me more —"

  Holding back tears as she endured the pain, Yuri pleaded courageously.

  The resolute maiden was too adorable, and Godou shifted his lips to kiss her cheek.

  "Y-Your Majesty... Please also give Ena... I beg you... Ena will always stay with Your Majesty from now on. So please..."

  Ena forcefully pressed her lips onto Godou's.

  What a clumsy manner of courtship. Though she was a naturally bold girl, it seemed like she was even more awkward than Yuri in this regard.

  But this clumsy behavior was very inviting, and Godou once again poured [Protection] into her.

  "...Ooh?"

  Ena moaned. It does hurt very much after all?

  "P-Please endure, Ena-san... I will accompany you."

  Ena opened her eyes wide in pain while Yuri held Ena in her arms, supporting her.

  "Y-Yes, w-we two will become His Majesty's women... Ah, E-Ena gets it now, I am intimately connecting with Your Majesty's innermost depths, as well as — Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi... Your Majesty... Ama no Murakumo is telling me, what kind of god the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is. It is now time to reveal his true nature."

  Tears streamed out of Ena's eyes as she spoke to Godou.

  "The divine clan of heretical steel originated as outsiders, and Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi is one of them. Ena will transfer as much as possible all sorts of information known about the Great Sage. Yuri, let us tell His Majesty together, for the sake of our husband, let us offer the spell words to slice gods apart!"

  "Very well, let us both become Godou-san's power... To become the blade of his sword..."

  The two Hime-Miko drew their lips near, and Godou welcomed them.

  Repeatedly swapping between Yuri and Ena in turn, the lips of the three melded together as if they had become a single being.

  "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong was born from stone as the divine monkey. The stone mentioned here is essentially ore."

  "Havoc in the celestial palace — the Great Sage caused a ruckus in the palace of heaven, and was caught by the True Lord Erlang, embodiment of the sacred, who then tossed him alive into the Bagua cauldron."

  "Scorched and burned for forty-nine days in the fiery cauldron, the Great Sage did not die, however, but was reborn instead."

  "As one born from iron ore, the hero was scorched, tormented, annealed, and made complete. This legend stands as proof of the Great Sage's identity as a sword god of [Steel]."

  "The Journey to the West passed down to contemporary times has its basis in the Ming[72] dynasty novel, but the original legends came from various tribes in ancient China scattered all over the continent."

  Was Godou's tongue currently tangling with Yuri's or Ena's? It was already impossible to tell, for the three of them had lost all sense of boundary as they sought one another.

  Godou tasted Yuri's lips as he greedily sought Ena's, while the two girls simultaneously searched for Godou's tongue and began to suction. Lips crossing, Yuri and Ena swallowed Godou's saliva in small gulps.

  "No fair, only caring for Yuri and Ena... Casting me aside."

  Complaining, Erica hugged Godou from behind.

  Godou felt the bountiful bosom pressing tightly against his back, strongly making its existence known.

  Turning his head back, Erica's passionate kiss awaited him.

  It was an intense kiss that felt as if it would suck out everything from his mouth.

  The lustful and extravagant exchange could no longer be adequately described by the term 'kiss.'

  "Godou... It's about time, right? Send forth your protection to the very end, I am ready to accept it any time, don't make me wait with such impatience..."

  "I-It's too unfair if it's only Erica-san, Ena and Yuri are ready too."

  "Godou-san... Please spoil us with your love..."

  As the three girls pressed their lips against him, Godou responded to their requests.

  Increasing Verethragna's [Protection] to distribute between everyone in one go, the divine warlord's authority penetrated into the girls' bodies simultaneously.

  "Ah, aaaaaaah, Godou-san!"

  "Y-Your Majesty... Ena is now... Truly Your Majesty's woman...!"

  "P-Pour your power into my body once again... Don't worry, it doesn't hurt as much as before. So please... let me feel
even more of your power... I beg you!"

  The three maidens — [Protection] was sent into each of them at their energy centers beneath the navel.

  Godou nodded at the feeling when he was reminded of the remaining girl.

  "E-Erica... Mariya Yuri... Seishuuin Ena... How could you all be so bold... Engaging in this indecent behavior!? A-As a knight I cannot accept this..."

  Liliana had recovered consciousness and seemed to have noticed the ritual in progress.

  With a shocked expression she stared at what Godou and the rest were doing.

  Perhaps due to the poison's effect, she could only support her upper torso, and her gaze and tone of voice were very weak. Godou extended his hand towards the silver-haired knight in this state.

  "Liliana once vowed to be my exclusive knight, like birds flying wing to wing, or intertwined branches? So come on over here and I will reward you as appropriate."

  "A-As appropriate means!?"

  "With victory and power... I cannot give you things like the happiness or memories of ordinary people. However, as long as you follow me, you will surely obtain victory, so I will give you the necessary power. I will even give you my heart."

  Godou swept his gaze over the girls leaning their bodies against him, offering their all.

  Everyone showed a serene smile, while the particularly contented Erica signaled with her eyes.

  "Oh well, this might be a good thing after all, let's get married like this when the time comes."

  "B-But I am a knight... If I lose myself to lust like Erica... In order to manage your female relationships properly, I cannot let myself fall to such narrow-minded behavior."

  "Lily, don't be overly obsessed with things like identity."

  Seeing Liliana pointlessly hesitating, Erica spoke with her eyes half closed.

  It was meant to help her longtime friend overcome her rigidity.

  "You want to be the best knight, right? Then you should accept the ritual together with us. What Kusanagi Godou needs right now are fearless warriors. Are you going to lose to me, Ena and Yuri? If that's the case, are you still going to insist you are the premier knight?"

  "Idiot! I am not going to lose to anyone!"

  Liliana declared with a solemn expression.

  "Even if my lord sets off for hell, I will follow to the very end. Do not look down on me!"
