When the Villainous Flame User Trapped in a Time Loop Starts Living Earnestly, Every Female Party Member Turns into a Pervert and Now the World Is in Danger!? - 63

Chapter 63: Interlude: I, the Six-Star Supreme, the Strongest and Most Miraculous Me

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Ohohoho! Full-speed advance and glorious annihilation charge, everyone! At long last, this is my very first battle! The beginning of my legend has arrived!”

Behind the Demon Lord’s army attacking the Great Main Gate of the Imperial Capital, the general, Sefurena, laughed triumphantly.

“Even so, my dear foot-soldier servants still haven’t managed to open the gate, have they? Is it not yet time for the radiant and golden Sefurena Female Demon Knight Corps to shine? Vice General Naoho, report the situation!”

Despite her loud bravado, irritation was gradually seeping into Sefurena’s voice as they continued to wait outside the Imperial Capital.

“General, as expected of the main gate of the largest human nation, the Imperial Capital. It is not something that can be breached easily. It is also reinforced with magic barriers. Any half-hearted spells will simply be repelled. The skies are likewise protected, and our griffon and gargoyle units are struggling to get through.”

“Grr! And what of it!? This army is led by me! Which means that anyone who cannot simply smash through a wall like that is the problem!”

“My apologies, General. Our demon soldiers are assaulting the main gate with all their strength, but… I’m afraid it will not be easy. However, we do know from prior intelligence the number and capability of the enemy’s stationed forces and when reinforcements are expected to arrive. We still have time, so if we proceed carefully—”

“What are you talking about!? Such a dull, boring approach is not worthy of me! A dazzling, elegant, instant, overwhelming victory, that is what befits my first battle and the beginning of my legend!”

The one kneeling before Sefurena and reporting the situation was a tall, short-haired, and strikingly handsome woman. She was radiating in elegance and had androgynous charm like a noblewoman disguised as a man. Her beauty was so refined that even women of the demon realm adored her.

Though she was a woman, Naoho longed to make her name as a knight in this warring age. However, having been appointed as Sefurena’s Vice General, she had barely any real battle experience until now. Thus, while she burned with determination for this first campaign, she also felt the weight of responsibility and tension that demanded caution. Because of that, she had been taking a steady, textbook approach, but Sefurena found that unacceptable.

“My, my! These lowly soldiers given to me by the Demon Lord are utterly useless! Even though I am graciously letting these common grunts do the menial labor they deserve! At this rate, my glorious Sefurena Female Demon Knight Corps alone would have been more than enough!”

“N-no, General, we are but a unit, not an entire army… Taking down a fortified city with thousands of troops, much less an entire nation, would be difficult even for us. The main gate is immensely durable… But! It won’t be long now! Once it falls, we’ll have our chance to rampage!”

“Yes, yes, I suppose so~! I shall graciously wait for the servants to finish their work. Ohohoho! Such generosity, truly befitting of me~! Now then… Prepare yourselves!”

As she fanned herself elegantly, Sefurena laughed once more.

“Now, my dearest and most powerful steed, Cupid! It’s almost time for your grand entrance!”

“Neighhhhhh!!!”

When she called out, a creature emerged from behind the command tent. It was a monstrous horse covered in sleek black fur, with large, dark wings sprouting from its back.

“Come now, Cupid! The dawn of our legend is here! If you want that Demon Realm carrot, you’d better give it your all!”

“Neigh♪”

“Hey! I’ve told you not to lick my face! Even if you are a mare, if you give me a kiss, the stork might get the wrong idea and bring us a child, you know?”

“Neigh…”

“So, no kisses! I shall save these lips for the one I truly love! When I meet that person, I’ll give him my first kiss, get married, and the stork will bless us with a child~♥”

Watching Sefurena chatter affectionately with her steed, Naoho could only hold her head in her hands.

(Good grief… The General has been so sheltered that she truly believes a kiss leads to marriage and children. A naïve noble with no battlefield experience, no accomplishments, and not a shred of worldly sense… Yet still one of the Six Stars. If anything happens to her, my own head will roll… I need to stay sharp… Haah… Should I request a transfer like Saiin did? But abandoning a post as the aide to one of the Six Stars would be…)

She sighed inwardly.

“Still cute as ever, ain’t she, our little princess~”

“—Saiin! Don’t whisper in my ear like that!”

“Ahaha, sorry, Vice General.”

The voice belonged to Saiin, a succubus and fellow member of Sefurena’s Knight Corps, who had crept up behind Naoho to whisper in her ear.

“…Saiin, are you truly planning to transfer after this war?”

“Yeah, that’s the plan. I haven’t told the General yet, though.”

“Just when we finally get to see battle…”

“Sorry, but I just can’t take the atmosphere here anymore. Everyone’s so stiff and proper. No one even joins in on a dirty joke! And the General? She’s so pure she doesn’t know what the meaning of lewd even means. She’s cute, sure, but I’d rather be back with the orcs, you know? Exchanging dirty stories, screwing all night, and ravaging the towns we conquer. That’s my kind of life.”

“You’re disgusting.”

“Haha, maybe. But you, Vice General, wouldn’t you rather serve in a real army? One where you could actually fight with passion? Like the front lines where Budo, Engou, and Retsuka are fighting right now? You can’t tell me you’ve never thought about it.”

“……”

Naoho couldn’t deny Saiin’s words. In any case, once this war ended safely and their mission was complete, she would think about what came next… And what would become of Sefurena’s army after this campaign.

“O-ho-ho-ho-ho! Now then, let’s go, Cupid! Ah! Stop licking! I told you, no kisses unless it’s my husband-to-be!”

“Neigh…”

“Now then! All members of the Sefurena Female Demon Knight Corps… Assemble!!”

“““““General, we’re here and ready!!”””””

However, at that moment, one of them could have possibly imagined it … That from this day forward, Sefurena, Naoho, Saiin, and every last one of the female knights would have their lives changed forever.
