ネオラ・コメネナ

Neora Komenena
「Thank you for your guidance, Master」
Nana sheathed her sword and gave a quick bow .
Her straight, long hair was beautiful, and she was clad in armor like a white knight .
Seriously, she’s such a good woman that it’s making me excited .
「You’ve grown stronger again」
「I’m grateful for your praise . Those words are the best kind of motivation for me」
「If you were this strong when we first met then I probably would’ve lost」
「That’s not true . I have a feeling that, even now, I still haven’t caught up to the you at that time . I must put more effort in strengthening myself」
「I see . Do your best」
「Yes」
She gave a quick bow .
When I finished talking with Nana, I looked beside her .
Neora was there .
She’d been staring at the fight between me and Nana since a while ago .
Since we went to wake Nana up together, she ended up following us here, and that was all good, butーー
（She seems rather composed）
Yeah .
The captain of the Slave Soldiers’ Second Platoon, Neora Komenena .
She was 「calmly」 watching the spar .
「Nana」
「What might you need?」
「You were the one appointing the platoon captains, correct?」
「Yes」
「Neora was the same?」
「That is right」
I see .
She’s someone who has won Nana’s favor .
I’m interested . [TN: Don’t lie, it’s your dick that’s interested . ]
「Master」
「Un?」
「If you’re not busy, would you mind doing some training with her?」
「No, I don’t mind」
It was an instant reply for me .
A girl who could watch a fight between me and Nana calmly; moreover, she was chosen by Nana to become a platoon captain .
That is Neora Komenena .
I’m interested in her .
☆
In the center of the training ground, Neora swapped positions with Nana and faced me .
She was holding a long and slender sword .
Surprisingly, it was well over 2 meters in length .
（Hoh）
The long blade was a bit bent at the tip, but when she readied it, it snapped into shape .
It became perfectly straight .
The atmosphere around her also changed; she seemed interested in Eleanor .
「I’m coming」
「Yes!」
First, I’ll do a little test .
I casually closed in and swung Eleanor down from above .
At the time of impactーーI couldn’t feel any resistance .
She evaded my attack .
「OHH!」
My voice unintentionally leaked out .
I thought that her balance would be broken if she dodged, but it felt like she pulled back even before evading .
Next, I delivered a horizontal attack .
She dodged it againーーshe pulled her body to the side .
「Very interesting! What is that technique! Is it all about evading?」
「……」
Neora gave a dry smile, not answering .
I slashed at her again . This time, it was a diagonal cut from below .
She, once again, dodged it, and her body flew .
This is it . I wanted to learn about this, so I decided to finish the fight up .
When she evaded, it seemed like she jumped away; if she only wanted to dodge, it would definitely be like that .
It was really interesting, so I turned and slashed at Neora .
I repeatedly slashed at her from all directions .
Every time, her body would be pulled around everywhere; it was really interesting .
This is fun; it’s seriously entertaining .
（The way I see it, you’re like the puppeteer pulling the strings）
It feels like I’m playing with a Yo-Yo .
（This technique is actually effective against people like you, who have barbaric strength）
Mind your own business .
This is interesting, but it doesn’t suffice as proper training .
「Come attack me, Neora」
「Yes」
Even though she answered in high spirits, Neora wasn’t attacking at all .
（She’s setting up a counterattack, isn’t she?）
I seeーーin that case!
I swung Eleanor .
Neora received the attack .
That moment, her body was pulled awayーーand a freezing cold wind blew at me .
The tip of her sword was glowing for a moment .
I see; so that’s how it is .
She borrows her opponent’s strength to jump away, and, a moment before jumping, she slashes at them from up front .
It seems to be a type of cross-counterattack when one’s stance is broken .
She understood the theory behind it, and she was carrying it out well enough .
It was a safe, yet deadly countering technique .
However!
「He repelled it?!」
「You had the right idea, but your speed and strength were lacking」
「Eh?」
「It’s about your own attack . Even if you add in the force borrowed from countering me, it won’t reach Nana’s level」
「Uu……!」
Neora renewed her stance .
I swung Eleanor at her .
Her body was pulled, and the tip of her blade flew .
I played around with her technique by chaining my attacks .
「Still not enough!」
「Yes!」
「If you reveal your intention to counterattack too soon, before jumping away, your opponent will notice and dodge」
「Yes!」
「Next!」
（Ohhhhh, you look happy, like a child with a new toy）
Eleanor said something, but I didn’t hear it .
I was completely focused on Neora .
This girl is interesting; she has such an interesting technique .
I played around with her while providing some training .
I helped her improve the technique .
Her accuracy gradually rose .
The timing of her counterattacks got better bit by bit .
ーーat last .
「Kakeru-sama!」
Neora screamed out my name .
She delivered an attack to my throat at the best timing possible .
Naturally, it wasn’t enough to wound me .
Though it did make me shudder at how good the attack’s timing was .
「I’m so glaーーhyaa!」
I princess-carried Neora in my arms and brought her inside the barracks .
「Ka-Kakeru-sama」
「I got horny; let’s do it」
「E-Ehhhhhhhh?!」
I quickly advanced through the barracks, taking long strides .
I surprised the other slaves at first, but, when they saw how I held Neora in my arms, they understood and made way .
I entered her room and pushed her down on the bed .
「Kakeru-sama, it’s better to do this with Nana-samaーー」
「Right now, I just wanna do you」
「Ehhh? But I’mーー」
I stared at Neora, who was saying meaningless things .
I kept staring at her silently .
She was flustered, but gradually calmed down .
「Ready?」
「……yes」
Nodding, Neora consented .
I kissed her, then stripped her .
Neora accepted everything I did to her .
（I know you really like her, but don’t break her）
The outsider was spewing horse-shit, but I ignored her .
Right now, I just want Neora .
I wasn’t expecting there to be such a good woman so close by, so I made her mine .
