Chapter 78: The Beginning of a New Life

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Ngh… This can’t be… To think that we, the mighty Toraretta Pirate Crew… Would lose to a bunch of women…!”

Their ship was a slightly eerie but sturdily built sailing vessel. The wide deck was littered with dozens of groaning men. And before me and Naoho-san stood their captain, a hulking brute of a man, now beaten to a pulp.

“Ohohohoho! Since Cupid and the other Pegasi were utterly exhausted from all that flying and running around, this idea of traveling by ship was simply marvelous! And since we’re not plundering but merely confiscating it from pirates, my conscience is completely spotless, hohohoho!”

Indeed, the Pegasi had been working themselves to the bone with all our recent travel. So, we decided to take a more leisurely route by sea, giving them time to rest while we discussed our plans for the future. And the way we obtained the ship… Well, we simply borrowed one, from pirates. Boldly.

“Hmph. Weaklings, these human men. Compared to my Habiri-dono, they’re less than insects.”

“Habiri Onii-samaaa~! I worked hard too~! Ehehe, if you pat me, I’ll be so happyyy~!”

At first, the pirates had been shouting things like, “Demons, huh? But fine-looking women, all the same! Get ‘em, boys!” …But the battle ended in an instant. Sefurena herself didn’t even have to lift a finger. Her Sefurena Female Demon Knight Corps utterly wiped them out to the last man.

“Well, well, there’s quite the treasure trove here~. Hmm, not bad. A decent collection of jewels. That should keep us traveling comfortably for a while. My, my, you boys really have been up to no good, haven’t you~?”

“Ggh… What the hell are you doing, you curly-haired sow?! Damn it, let me go! I’ll… I’ll violate you!”

“Ohahaha! I’m afraid that’s quite impossible, dear sir. The only one in this world who may do naughty things to this perfect body of mine is Habiri-sama~!”

Honestly, I’d thought taking down pirates would be no simple matter. But surprisingly, we stumbled across a big, well-equipped pirate crew and made quick work of them. At first, even the knights had mixed feelings about turning to piracy, but…

“I see, so this is what they call a pirate’s hat… Ohohohoho!! Everyone, from this day forward, do not call me General, call me Captain! Ohoho!”

“““““Aye aye, Captain!!”””””

Sefurena herself was unexpectedly getting way into it. Apparently, she’d been raised as an extremely sheltered lady, so she’d always dreamed of living freely, like an adventurer out on the open seas. Sefurena laughed merrily while wearing the pirate hat and a stylish black coat.

“How do I look, Habiri-sama?”

“Haha… Yeah… you look great, Captain.”

“Geez~! Habiri-sama, you must call me by name. Let’s see… Since this marks a new beginning for us as a couple… oh, I know! To symbolize my rebirth, from this day forward, please call me ‘Sefure’! Okay?”

“Uh…Sure thing… Sefure.”

“Yes~! I am Habiri-sama’s Sefure~♥!”

Then she threw herself into my arms, giggling and squealing like an overjoyed child. She looked so happy that I thought to myself…

Well, if it makes her this happy, that’s fine by me.

“Then, General, no, Captain, what shall we do with these pirates?”

“Hmm~? That’s obvious, isn’t it? Trash that would only get in the way of my love nest with Habiri-sama… Should be thrown into the sea~!”

“As you command.”

“““““W-wait, what!?”””””

Yep. Sefure, or rather, Sefurena showed no mercy to the pirates. Well, to be fair, they were pirates who’d done plenty of awful things, so I didn’t really feel like defending them either.

“Damn you! You’ll regret this!”

“Gyaaah! Damn you, demon scum!”

“Give us back our ship, you bastards!”

Following Sefure’s orders, Naoho and the others coldly tossed the pirates into the ocean. And once it was done… The ship was ours alone.

“Now then, my ladies—no, my crew! From this day forth marks the beginning of our new lives! As of today, we are no longer the Sefurena Female Demon Knight Corps, we are the Sefure Female Pirate Crew! Ohohohoho!”

“““““OHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”””””

“Haah… How did it come to this…? Oh well, it’s too late to ponder about it now…”

And thus, our new life began, with a grand feast.

“And to celebrate, it’s time for some naughtiness~! Habiri-sama, come hereee!”

“Ah, hey! That’s not fair! Me too!”

“Habiri Onii-sama~!”

“Habiri-kun!”

“Habiri-san, please allow me as well!”

“There’s no one around but us anyway~ Okay, let’s strip~!”

Surrounded only by the endless sea, with no one else in sight, everyone suddenly became completely uninhibited and all at once, they threw off their clothes and pounced on me——

“W-wait a moment, Captain! This is bad, very bad!!”

“Hm?”

Just as things were about to turn indecent, Punii, who had been inspecting the ship, came flying out in a panic while clutching a newspaper in her hands.

“It’s… It’s a follow-up report about our battle in the Imperial Capital!!”

“““““Whaaaat!!??”””””

At that instant, everyone’s expressions froze. It was about the war, the one where we’d met, where I’d supposedly lost my memory after saving them. If I remembered right, the story went that demons appeared in the Imperial Capital, and the army suffered a crushing defeat…

“The article says that, to rebuild the defeated Demon Lord’s Army, the Orc forces under General Idi, who had been under suspension, were dispatched by special emergency order to regroup the remnants and launch a second assault on the capital.”

“Oh my, Idi-sama, is it?”

“What!? General Idi himself… Despite being under suspension? The Great Demon Lord must have made a painful decision indeed…”

I didn’t really know who this “Idi” was, but judging from Naoho-san and the others’ reaction, he must have been a serious powerhouse. But Punii wasn’t done yet.

“T-then… it says… That General Idi was defeated in less than half a day!”

“““““Wha—!?”””””

“A-and according to the report, the entire orc army was nearly annihilated… The Demon Lord’s forces were mercilessly crushed and the ones responsible weren’t even soldiers, but students of the Magic Academy who haven’t even graduated yet…”

“““““WHAT!!??”””””

“Apparently, leading them was someone called the ‘Fallen Hero of Darkness, Nemeth,’ who personally fought General Idi one-on-one, cut off all four of his limbs, and tore out his organs while he was still alive. The newspaper calls them the ‘Generation of Devils from Hell,’ saying that even humans themselves shudder at their cruelty and lack of mercy…”

Devils? Such people existed in the Empire? A fallen hero…? What kind of monsters were they!?

“No way… General Idi is dead? Seriously? (Oh thank the gods I transferred out before that happened~~!)”

“Eep… S-so there were such terrifying people out there…”

“But that means our defeat wasn’t just because we were weak…”

“Yeah. It means there were monsters beyond reason.”

“I don’t fully understand, but… With one of the Six Stars gone, and this ‘Generation of Devils from Hell’ leading the charge, the war between humanity and the Demon Lord’s Army is going to shift dramatically.”

One way or another, the world’s balance had just been shaken. And meanwhile…

“In any case, we absolutely cannot let Habiri-sama return to that dangerous capital! Yes, we shall keep Habiri-sama as far away from the Empire as possible!!”

“““““Agreed!!”””””

Yeah… I wasn’t planning to go back there anyway. Honestly, those people sounded terrifying. I’d rather just live quietly with everyone here.

“Well then, Habiri-sama! Time for another celebration! Now, for the main event! Shall it be the Boob Festival, the Butt Festival, the Lick-Lick Festival, or the Full Fusion Festival!? In true pirate fashion, it’s everything’s all-you-can-eat, all-you-can-lick, all-you-can-touch, all-you-can-thrust buffet! It’s the Erotic Buffet!♥♥♥”

“Uhh… Well then… I-I’ll take… All of them?”

“““““Kyaaa~! You’re so naughty~♥ But leave it to usss~♥♥♥”””””

After all, everyone loved me this much.
