Chapter 9: The Knight Says Female Knights Are the Best (01)
Magiight Training Ground
Our training ground is referred to as Training Ground No. 1. It's an old facility, with crumbling buildings located in the ter of the capital, and it’s a mysterious pce where bugs keep popping out.
The temple supposedly blessed the capital to keep the bugs away, so why are they overflowing iraining ground?
"Ugh, spider webs…"
I was clearing away the spider webs piled up ie room while retrieving training supplies: straw for making scarecrows and dry rations for outdoor mobility training.
" we evehis?"
We uhed dried meat the size of a person’s torso. It looked like something no human should eat.
It was moldy, rock-hard, and had likely been sealed for tless years.
"Oh, you just scrape off the outer yer a it."
The senior knight reassured us, g it wouldn’t kill us. He ordered us to cut the meat into jerky. What choice did we have? Orders were orders.
g!
"Wow, damn… Look at this. The knife won’t even gh."
"Careful with your hands."
After prying apart the tough meat with khat bent uhe strain, we finally mao uncover slightly less hard jerky inside, which was barely edible.
"Keep the core inside. For now, wash off the outer yer a it."
"If we do, we’ll die."
"You won’t die. I ate it too."
Despite the senior knight’s assurance, Dane and I relutly held the jerky’s outer yer. It was so tough it could’ve been tanned and worn as leather armor.
"How many years old is this meat?"
"Probably from when the knights' order was first founded."
A, we were told to eat it instead of discarding it.
"Who cares? We’ll sneak off to the capital during mobility training and grab something to eat."
"Right."
As first-years, we initially worked hard, sincerely aiming to bee knights. But after a year of grueling hardship, we learo cut ers where we could.
"Cut it into 150 pieces, distribute them, and patch up the hole in the fehis time."
"Uood."
Training knights are basically sves, aren’t they?
"Aren’t we just supposed to train?"
"Exactly. That’s what makes us knights."
Grumbling, Dane and I loaded buckets with sand and lime, filled a teen with water, and headed to the damaged fence.
Boing, boing.
"You’re still keeping that monster as a pet?"
"Why? It’s cute."
For the past four months, I’d been raising this slime, and she felt like a part of me now. She even helped me in emergencies, abs nutrients by feeding on my… semen. she was a mutually beneficial arra.
"Right, Molng?"
The slime formed a fay finger and pyfully licked it, showing her affeate, albeit lewd, nature. I gently pushed my finger into her mouth.
Smooch… smooch…
she kept lig my finger suggestively. she didn’t seem aroused but rather nutrient-deprived.
‘I guess I’ll o sneak out tonight.’
"You’re so gross, messing with that thing. By now, its entire body must be made of your semen."
Given that the slime had survived solely on my semen for four months, Dane’s observation wasn’t far off, and I couldn’t deny it.
I’d tried feeding the slime other foods and substances, but she only absorbed and expelled them. The only thing she could e was my semen.
"Alright, let’s go."
Sihe fence served as a barrier against outsiders, it was crucial to hide Molng from the knights, or they’d take issue with me raising a slime. I put her bato a teen and got to work.
"Is this a fortress wall or what?"
The damaged fence was a t stone wall, far taller than a person.
g, g.
I tapped it with tools, but it didn’t budge. The wall was built incredibly thick.
"Is it for siege training?"
"No, I heard they practice that in ay castle."
"Then what’s this? Where does it lead?"
The training ground was at the ter of the Magiights’ building, so this wall likely led somewhere important, but I didn’t know where.
"Let’s finish up and take a break."
The hole was just big enough for a small person to crawl through. It wasn’t iionally dug but likely caused by soil erosion loosening a stone. Sihe damaged stone was beyond repair, we were told to patch it up with lime.
While mixing lime and sand into mortar, Dane and I chatted.
"Did you see that Holy Knight during Sacred Week?"
"The one esc the young saint? That was one of our seniors, right?"
"Yeah, but…"
From beyond the wall, we suddenly heard a faint voice.
"A woman!"
"Shh!"
It was a woman’s voice. After only hearing gruff male voices for so long, the soft, femione drew our attention. We pressed ourselves against the wall, but it was too thick to hear clearly.
The only sound that leaked through came from the hole we were repairing.
"How are they going to deal with this hole?"
"They said they'll call in some workers to ha, so we shouldn't go near it."
"Couldn't we secretly dump trash in it or something?"
With those words, a few bits of junk and trash were tossed into the hole.
"Wait a sed, I dropped my !"
A pale hand reached through the hole, feeling around for the . But the , having rolled in along with the trash, was now out of reach.
"Where did it go? Did it roll even deeper...?"
"Here."
"I found it! Thank you... Aaaah!"
As I picked up the and pced it in her hand, her voice, initially full of gratitude, suddenly turned into a pierg scream.
"Who are you? Why are you there?"
"Is it some pervert? There have been rumors about perverts targeting our trainee knights. Could it be them?"
"A pervert? How dare you insult a rainee knight!"
Dane shouted angrily, but I couldn't quite refute the word "pervert."
After all, we were just talking about "slime ejacute" earlier. From a normal perspective, that would probably seem perverted.
"Trainee knight?"
"Wait, could this be the men's knight training grounds?"
Hearing that, the girls leaned closer to the hole to get a look at us, and we, curious about them, fttened ourselves on the ground to look back at them through the hole.
"Women knights!"
"Men knights!"
Yes, that’s right.
This wall was the one dividing the training grounds for the male and female knights of the Mage Knight Corps!
---
"All patched up."
"Alright, good work. I don’t o go check it myself, do I?"
"No, sir."
"Go up and take the rest of the day off."
The senior knight who had ordered us to repair the hole responded absentmindedly, his eyes never leaving the novel in his hands.
Holy, even if he had goo i it, there wouldn’t have been much to worry about. The surface of the repair was carefully coated with a thin yer of lime and sand, so it looked perfectly solid at a gnce.
Of course, it was weak enough that a good kick would reopen the hole.
"So the women knights' training grounds were right door!"
"Shh! Don't talk about that here. We 't let anyone else find out."
Not even Levin or Jake, who shared the same quarters as us.
Jake, for one, had no filter and might blurt something out, while Levin was the type to mess around and risk exposing the secret to the senior knight.
If I’d learned about this alone, I wouldn’t even have told Dane. But the problem was that we both worked on the repair, so we found out at the same time.
"Tsk. If only I’d learned about it alone, I’d have kept it a secret from you too."
Damn it. He was thinking the same thing as me.
Anyway, we’d exged brief greetings with the women knights and learhat they were two trainee knights from the women’s training grounds.
Among the knights-in-training, women knights were a rarity—a small handful at most. After their training, they were typically assigo the Mage Knight Corps, the Holy Knight Corps, or the Royal Guard depending on their abilities and choices.
But the demand for women knights was rgely limited to specific roles, such as proteg high-ranking women iemple (like saints h priestesses) or royal figures (like queens or princesses). Most of them ended up in the Royal Guard or Holy Knight Corps.
The most famous woman knight in the Mage Knight Corps would probably be the legendary Dame Angelina.
In any case, women knights were incredibly rare in this kingdom.
"Could we shrough the hole to get over there?"
"No way."
Holy, for a person to pass through a hole that small, it would have to be a child or a very slim woman.
For those of us bulking up iraining camp, even trying to stick our heads in would get us stuck at the neck, effectively burying ourselves alive.
The female knights might be able to make it through, but...
'They seemed pretty wary of us.'
Although they seemed curious about us, thanks to the almost brainwashing-like education from their knightly order (which doubles as a holy knight css), they were suspicious that we were just perverts who drooled at the sight of women.
The fact that it was somewhat true made it all the more unpleasant.
"We’re supposed to meet tomorrow at lunch, right?"
"Yeah. Something about exgiers, wasn’t it?"
"This is only the sed time I’ve received a letter from a woman!"
"Sed time? When was the first?"
"You know, during the adaptation period at the training camp, the dies wrote us letters ahem."
"Ah..."
'That... was me, though.'
Holy, a few of us recruits were selected and taken to a secret room.
The senior knights bribed us with cold drinks and cookies from the start. Then they handed us a list of sp dies’ names and gave us some sample letters to copy.
They told us to write those letters to our peers, pretending they were from the dies.
'What absolute scumbags.'
The trainees, of course, were delighted, thinking those letters were from ad sponsors. But those of us who khe truth could only smile bitterly.
Even though I khe ugly truth, I didn’t want to hurt Dane, so I stayed silent.
"Are you going to write a letter?"
"Not really..."
I’d already written enough fake letters pretending to be dies, so just thinking about letters made me grind my teeth. Writing so many back then made my hands ache like I was grindial.
Four of us were dragged into that room, and we each had to write 40 letters.
'Besides, if you want to get close to a woman, there are better ways than writing outdated letters.'
Women, fually, like cute things.
Especially knights, who are always exposed tid and intimidating stuff in their line of work. The presence of a small, adorable pet would be loved by both male and female knights alike.
After lights-out, listening to Jake and Levin snore, I grabbed my teen and stood up.
"That guy’s off to pour his stuff on that slime again."
"Shut up."
inally, I nning to use Molng after Dane fell asleep writing his letter. But after seeing those female knights earlier, I couldn’t hold out and had to visit the bathroom earlier than usual.
The night watch seemed to cat and averted their gaze, silently tellio ha myself. I went into the bathroom, opehe teen, and took Molng out.
Poing...!
Before I could even pull down my pants, Molng g to my groin, attag herself. I held her in my hand, trying to calm her doulled down my pants to expose myself.
"Ohhh!"
Uo hold back, Molng opened her mouth and took me in.
It felt like dipping only the tip into cold water—a refreshiion. As it worked, Molng began to take on a humanoid form, transf into a tiny girl about a handspan tall, holding my thing in her small mouth.
Seeing my refle in Molng's translut body made the sight even more erotic. It was as if Molng instinctively knew how to extract quality material, stig tightly and rubbing against me.
"Ah...!"
It felt textured, so I examined Molng more closely. From her earlier crude, celestial doll-like shape, she had now developed into a fairly realistic small figure.
Resembling a little fairy, Molng now used what looked like hands to grasp me, rubbing my thing with her entire body.
'Is this masturbation or intercourse...?'
Teically, Molng wasn’t human and only had the intelligence of seeking food instinctively. So I could barely t this as masturbation.
"Ohhh!"
I noticed something else. Molng had started to develop little buds on her previously ft chest—nipples, to be precise.
'You little rascal!'
