Hentai Dragon King

I left Ana-san on the ground and slowly ascended.

Ugh...

It’s cold...

The higher the altitude, the colder the air and the stronger the wind.

So that’s what Ana-san’s meaningful smile was about.

Iria also seemed cold and was trembling.

Right now it’s single-passenger mode, so Iria is sitting on my back, and the trembling is transmitted directly from her butt. The faint vibration of her soft butt flesh feels pleasant.

"Are you okay?"

"A-Ah..."

"Should I bring Ana-san after all?"

"N-No. I’ll manage somehow. What Masaru wants to know is the extent of Margolant, right?"

"Yeah. I want to know from where to where the territory goes."

"From the sky the rivers blend into the color of the forest and are hard to distinguish, but... From that river northward is Margolant territory."

Iria seemed to be pointing somewhere, but because I’m flying face-down I can’t tell where she’s pointing.

For now the southern border doesn’t matter, so I listen to the rest.

"To the north it goes to the sea beyond the wasteland. To the west it goes to the mountain range. That is my territory."

"The place where we met was at the foot of that mountain range?"

"Yeah, that’s right."

"What’s beyond the mountain range? Whose territory is it?"

"Who knows. I’ve never cared. I’ve climbed the mountains for investigation, but beyond them the barren wasteland just continues. It’s unexplored land inhabited only by orcs."

I see. The place where I reincarnated and met Lucia belongs to no one.

...Nn?

Beyond the western mountains is unexplored land?

When I asked Esty-san about the surrounding countries during the journey, she said there are great nations to the east and west.

"I heard there’s a great nation to the west of this country?"

"Ah. Leglandelle? It does border Arasgard to the west, but it’s far to the south from here. How should I explain... Right. Imagine a hexagon. Margolant is located on the upper-left side. Leglandelle borders the lower-left side."

"Ah. So that’s it. In other words, the north is the sea, and if you cross the western mountain range and wasteland even further, it’s the sea again?"

"Yeah. I’ve never seen it, but that’s probably the case."

"Could it be that Margolant is sticking out like an erect cock?"

"...Well, it’s not entirely wrong to say that, but please call it a peninsula."

So it is.

Margolant is an erect cock sticking out from the upper-left side of the hexagon.

"Monvan is around the base of the cock, and Margolant Castle is around the glans?"

"No. It doesn’t reach the glans. That mountain range is the coronal ridge, so... Wait, don’t compare it to a cock!"

"But it makes the positional relationships easy to explain, right?"

"That’s true, but..."

Summarizing everything so far...

I transferred to the glans and met Lucia.

I crossed the coronal ridge and met Iria.

I rode Iferaski down the shaft and went to Monvan... something like that.

I see.

No wonder it’s comfortable to live here.

There’s a possibility I was getting stronger from the terrain effect.

"If the area around Monvan was forest it would have been pubic hair. If this area was wasteland instead of forest it would be a completely erect cock."

"Masaru doesn’t have pubic hair, so it’s fine even if there’s no forest around Monvan, right?"

"That’s true."

"...Guh. What am I even saying..."

"In actuality, beyond the coronal ridge is poorly understood barren land, we don’t know what the glans is like, and it belongs to no one, right?"

"Yeah. That’s right. Since it’s orc habitat, it can also be called the orc country."

"Then if we destroy the orcs, whose land does that become? Iria’s? The king of this country’s?"

"If I conquered that land by my own strength without borrowing the king’s army it would become my territory, but that’s impossible."

"If there were bugs at the tip of my erect cock I would drive them away, but why has this country left the orcs alone all this time?"

"Because it’s not realistic. Beyond the Coronal Ridge Mountains there should be far more than just the 500 orcs hiding in the forest."

"You told me not to compare it to a cock, yet you’re calling it the Coronal Ridge Mountains."

"Shut up! I won’t explain anymore?"

"Sorry, sorry."

"Preparing an army large enough to defeat all the orcs and having them cross the Coronal Ridge Mountains is difficult. Roads would have to be built, and the production of my territory can’t provide the soldiers’ provisions. A transport network to carry food from the royal capital would also need to be established. While raising national power to subjugate the orcs there’s also the fear of being invaded by neighboring countries."

"I see."

"From the way you speak, it seems Masaru thinks countries have clear borders."

"They don’t?"

"For example, suppose I also served the orc king."

Ah. Come to think of it, in the feudal system of medieval Europe it was possible to serve multiple lords.

Japanese samurai apparently swore lifelong loyalty to a single lord and would even commit suicide when their lord died, but medieval Europe was a bit different.

"Margolant is the territory of Viscount Nawyor, which is part of the Kingdom of Arasgard because King Aras VI’s authority reaches it, and it can also be said to be part of the orc country because the orc king’s authority reaches it. Furthermore, while Monvan is Arasgard, the surrounding land belongs to Larme Church and Lyuté Church, so that area is not Arasgard."

"Complicated..."

But well, even looking at world maps or maps of Japan, there are plenty of exclaves.

Kiryu City in Gunma Prefecture is split cleanly in two, and Kitayama Village in Wakayama Prefecture is completely surrounded by Mie and Nara Prefectures and doesn’t touch Wakayama Prefecture at all—a perfect exclave.

The famous Strait of Gibraltar is in Spain but is British territory. Until a little before I was born, Kowloon in Hong Kong was British territory.

This world is in an era where national borders are even less organized than Earth’s, so things are complicated in various ways. There are also ownerless lands and lands that are undiscovered (or thought to be).

"In other words, the orc country is, from a human perspective, no one’s property, and the Coronal Ridge Mountains are a natural fortress protecting it... If I destroy the orcs and create the Masaru Kingdom, no one will get angry..."

"Eh?"

"No, how should I put it..."

Ana-san isn’t here, so it’s fine to talk to Iria.

"Iria was demoted to the cock because she opposed the slave system, right?"

"My territory is not a cock, but yes. ...My age and Sara’s are quite far apart, right?"

"Yeah."

What’s this. Did the topic change?

Iria is around 17 and Sara-chan is around 10.

"My wet nurse was a cow beastman. It’s not unusual for cow beastmen to serve as wet nurses. When I was little I thought she was my real mother. By the time Sara was born she could no longer produce milk... One day she suddenly disappeared. When I asked my father, he said he had sold her as a slave... At the time I didn’t understand the meaning of the word ’slave’ or what it meant to sell someone off. But..."

I see.

Because the cow beastman she thought of as her mother when she was little was sold into slavery, Iria came to oppose the slave system.

Yeah. Even I can’t forgive the idea of the beastmen I’ve met so far being treated as slaves and suffering terrible things.

"Iria. I’m thinking of creating a country without a slave system."

"Eh?"

"I heard that orcs are biological weapons so it’s fine to kill them, is that correct?"

"Yeah. Those are biological weapons created by the Demon King’s skill."

"So, you see. I’m thinking of defeating all the orcs and creating a beastman kingdom on the glans."

"Eh?"

"I’ll say the important part twice. I’m thinking of creating a beastman kingdom on the glans."

"Th-That’s ridiculous..."

"Even if I tell the king of this country to stop the slave system, I don’t think he’ll listen. There are citizens who profit from the slave system. In that case, maybe it’s better to just create a country without a slave system."

"It’s unrealistic! What will you do if you incur the king’s wrath!"

"Even if I call it a country, it’s not anything that grand. Just a big house-like place where beastmen can live freely in a form close to nature. Because of the Coronal Ridge Mountains, an army can’t invade the glans, right? Even if a large army attacks, if I fight at the narrow parts of the mountain paths I feel like I can somehow manage."

"But what about food? The glans is a wasteland where not even grass grows."

"I brought sweet potato seedlings, and there are also potatoes, so I feel like food will somehow work out. The reason that place is a wasteland is just because no plants have been planted, right? Besides, to be honest, I’m acquainted with a goddess who really loves beastmen, so I’m sure she’ll cooperate."

"A goddess...? Eh? Have you been deceived by some suspicious heretical cult? Gods do not appear before people."

"I don’t think that’s true. If you call them, they come pretty casually."

"Masaru. You’ve been deceived by a swindler claiming to be a god. Precisely because God is great and all-knowing and all-powerful, He does not concern Himself with the trivial affairs of our human world."

"Aah. It’s true that She seems to think the human world is pretty whatever."

"See?"

But She has an extraordinary attachment to fluffing beastmen.

"If you actually meet Her, will you believe?"

"Such a miracle will not occur."

"Then I’ll call Her, so if you actually meet Her, believe me, okay? ...Hey, Lucia, are you free right now?"

『I’m bathing with the capys so I’m extremely busy.』

While speaking out loud so Iria could also hear, I simultaneously sent a mental message, and a real-time reply came.

"Just for a little bit is fine, can you come?"

『Eeh. What should I dooo~』

"Please."

『It can’t be helped~』

"Come as Baka, okay? The person I’m with right now should be mostly fine with magical power or goddess aura, but hide that kind of thing as much as possible."

『Mm.』

Kapi!

Accompanied by the sound effect that has become a complete favorite, the surroundings shone, and my calves became heavier.

Without a doubt, Baka has appeared.
