"Rigel, can I have a mont?"
"What is it, sterica?"
"Father sent a letter. It says to stop the advance at the city of Sashoi."
"…Reason?"
"He says advancing too deep into enemy territory risks having our supply lines cut off."
"I see."
Rigel nodded in understanding.
His father was the head of the Gousser Marquis family and also served as Commander of the Royal Guard Knight Order of the Kingdom of Wistaria.
His judgnt regarding military instructions was reliable.
"However, that's an impossible request."
"Indeed. If only the ssage had arrived a little earlier…"
Rigel and sterica looked troubled.
They had no intention of ignoring their trusted father's orders, but there was a reason they couldn't obey them.
That reason was—
"When exactly did we pass through the city of Sashoi?"
"More than a week ago, I think? It was the first city after the fortress."
Rigel and sterica had this exchange.
After capturing the fortress, the Gousser Marquis army had gotten carried away.
They had continued their advance toward the enemy capital.
The letter from their father arrived at exactly the wrong mont — like a bolt from the blue.
"Do you know where we are right now?"
"It should be the city of Mitsu. It's the third city after Sashoi, I believe."
"That's pretty far… If Father finds out we've co this deep, he'll definitely be angry."
"Yeah… The ssage arrived after we had already passed it, so technically we didn't ignore the order, but…"
Both of them sighed at the sa ti.
Currently, the Gousser Marquis army was stationed in the city of Mitsu.
Rigel and sterica had requisitioned the largest mansion in the city and were staying there.
If they continued westward and passed through several more cities, they would reach the enemy capital.
sterica was only half-competent as a commander, and Rigel was practically a complete amateur.
The two had optimistically aid for the capital and advanced this far.
It went without saying that Rigel's performance with his cheat skill **[Rape]** had played a major role.
However, the arrival of their father's letter had dragged them back to reality.
"So, what do we do? We can't just keep advancing, right?"
"Yeah… Can't be helped. Should we turn back to Sashoi…? If we sneak back quietly, Father might not notice."
"Hmm… I wonder if that'll work…"
As the two were worrying, a ssenger soldier appeared.
"Urgent report! An enemy force has appeared ahead of our advance route!"
"…You've got to be kidding."
It seed things wouldn't be that simple.
If they tried to retreat to Sashoi now, the enemy would likely catch up from behind.
Getting attacked from the rear would be the end.
On the other hand, staying here wouldn't improve the situation either.
The Gousser Marquis army had been on a roll so far, but they were terrible at defensive battles.
"What are your orders, Supre Commander Rigel!?"
The ssenger asked.
Rigel pondered with a difficult expression.
He intended to use his cheat skill **[Rape]** to freely enjoy a life of rape in this world.
However, he had no desire to disobey his father and lose his place in noble society, nor did he hold any particular grudge against this enemy nation.
(Now then, what should I do…?)
Rigel stood on the balcony of the requisitioned mansion, deep in thought.
In the distance, just as the ssenger had reported, he could see the enemy army.
Because of the distance, he couldn't yet determine the exact scale, but it appeared to be a fairly large force.
"—Hm? That flag emblem is…"
Squinting, he spotted a familiar crest flying above the enemy.
"That's…!"
He recalled an event from several years ago.
Before the war between the Gousser Marquis territory and the enemy nation had fully escalated, he had t soone at a friendly diplomatic party.
"I never thought we'd et again in a place like this…"
Rigel smiled bitterly.
What he rembered was the person he had once spoken to — Nina Valestein, the princess of the small country.
Well, "spoken to" wasn't entirely accurate.
"I am Rigel von Gousser. Nice to et you, Princess Nina."
"Hmph. A lowly cur like you has no right to address by na! Stand back, you peasant!!"
Because she had said that the mont they t, the mory had left a strong impression.
They had t several tis after that, but she had completely ignored his existence.
In reality, there wasn't that much difference in status between the heir of a marquis house from the Kingdom of Wistaria and the princess of a small country.
The huge gap in national power made the difference.
However, whether she understood that or not, Princess Nina had an extrely high sense of pride.
It probably had sothing to do with her being blessed not only with high status but also with magical talent.
anwhile, Rigel had been treated as incompetent, so he never tried to push himself on her.
But now, the situation was different.
"Hey, sterica. Do you recognize the emblem on that army's flag?"
When Rigel asked, sterica replied:
"Recognize? I can't even see the flag properly from here."
"Eh? Really?"
"Yes. Even though my eyesight is quite good… Rigel, since when did you have such good vision?"
"Ah… well, sothing like that."
Rigel gave a vague answer.
Unbeknownst to him, his eyesight had also been enhanced.
It was one of the effects of his cheat skill **[Rape]**.
**Skill Na:** Rape
**Rarity:** ★5 (MAX)
**Level:** 4 (Increases based on the number of people raped, number of tis, and the content of the acts. Creampies that do not occur are not counted.)
**Effect:** Increases physical abilities and magical power according to skill level. Also gradually removes any aversion toward rape acts. Once the skill level reaches a certain point, new effects will be granted.
(Hmm… So "physical abilities and magical power" includes vision as well…)
While thinking this, Rigel muttered:
"That's the crest of the Valestein royal family."
"…!?"
The mont she heard those words, sterica's expression stiffened.
She quickly composed herself and spoke.
"We went too far… To think the royal family would co out… At this point, whether we run or fight…"
"R-Rigel, Supre Commander! Your orders…!"
The ssenger's trembling voice rang out.
Both sterica and the ssenger looked at Rigel anxiously.
The fate of the entire Gousser Marquis army now rested on the hero before them.
"Don't worry. Leave it to ."
Rigel grinned and stepped away from the balcony.
---
Several hours later—
Rigel's Gousser Marquis army was facing the enemy forces on the outskirts of the city of Mitsu.
Leading the enemy army was, of course, Princess Nina.
Both armies stood glaring at each other without moving.
In the midst of this standoff, the two supre commanders — Rigel and Nina — stepped forward and began to speak.
"It's been a while, Princess Nina."
"Stand back, you lowly cur! Don't you dare speak to so casually!!"
Nina's tone was as arrogant as ever.
Rigel replied:
"Co on, don't be so cold. We're rivals standing on the sa battlefield, aren't we?"
"Don't joke around! You've unilaterally trampled over the territory of the Valestein Kingdom, and you call yourself my rival!?"
"Hey, hey, that's a misunderstanding."
Rigel shrugged theatrically.
Nina looked increasingly irritated, but she seed willing to listen for now.
"What do you an? Explain yourself!"
"This is war, right? It's only natural to try to expand one's territory, isn't it?"
"You fool…! It has long been an unspoken agreent to limit conflicts to minor skirmishes on the plains!"
"Heh… Is that so?"
Rigel grinned.
Nina continued:
"So? What do you want?"
"Nothing much. I just wanted to take a good look. At the face of the opponent I'm about to crush."
"…What did you say?"
Nina's brows furrowed deeply.
It was clear her irritation was growing.
anwhile, Rigel's expression didn't change.
In fact, his smile only deepened.
"You see? We really are destined to fight. Today just happens to be the day."
"…!! How dare you…!!"
A vein bulged on Nina's forehead from anger.
Seeing her shake with rage, Rigel laughed with amusent.
(I see… So this is what "zero provocation resistance" looks like…)
In his previous life, fla wars were common on the internet.
Rembering those tis, Rigel thought:
(Still, this might be the first ti since coming to this world…)
Since reincarnating into this world, Rigel had embraced three won.
The big-breasted commoner maid Dolly, the elf slave Sienna, and the platoon leader Amand from the Valestein Kingdom army.
Each had different characteristics, but if there was one common point, it was that all three were commoners or lower in status.
For Rigel, who still carried mories from his previous life, he could get aroused by commoners without issue.
At the sa ti, he had a strong desire to subjugate won of even higher status.
"Hehe. Breaking a haughty woman like you is really fun."
That was why such words slipped out.
Of course, they ca from the heart.
"Haa?"
Nina tilted her head upon hearing them.
"What are you babbling about—?"
"Shut up."
"—!?"
The next instant, the air trembled.
Nina's body flinched.
She looked up with frightened eyes at Rigel, who was now staring at her with a sharp, murderous gaze.
The emotion in his eyes was close to killing intent.
"...!"
Nina fell silent, overwheld.
Rigel spoke to her flatly:
"I'll give you a chance."
"…A chance?"
"Yes. Let's settle this with a representative duel. If we lose, I'll do whatever you say."
"…You'd really agree to such a condition? If we win, you will die. Or are you suicidal?"
Nina spoke provocatively.
Rigel shot back:
"Haha. You say so funny things. We're the ones who will win. If you lose, you'll beco my sex slave. Prepare yourself."
That was Rigel's true aim.
Even though it was a small country, the chance to freely control a mber of the royal family was extrely rare.
Especially when it was soone he had a bit of past history with.
Even if it turned into an all-out war, Rigel had no intention of losing.
However, if Nina escaped or died in the chaos of battle, that would be a waste.
That was why he made this proposal.
"Hmph. How arrogant for a lowly commoner. Fine, I accept your proposal!"
And so, it was decided that the two sides would settle the matter through a representative duel.
The representative for the Gousser Marquis army was naturally the supre commander, Rigel.
The representative for the Valestein Kingdom army was—
"Huh? You talked big, but you're not coming out yourself?"
—Not Princess Nina herself.
Even Rigel was slightly taken aback by this.
Nina said:
"Hmph! Don't misunderstand! I am a mage! There's no way I would participate in sothing as barbaric as a one-on-one duel!"
"Heh… Well, whatever…"
"But rest assured! My strongest subordinate will be your opponent!"
With those words, Nina smiled confidently.
Following her, a figure appeared—
"Fuhn…! So you are my opponent…!"
It was a giant woman over two ters tall.
She had arms like logs and a chest like a boulder.
Her body was covered in bulging muscles that looked as hard as steel.
The only clothing she wore was a black bikini-style armor that barely covered anything.
Because of the highly revealing outfit, her muscular breasts looked like they might spill out at any mont.
Most striking of all were the beast ears on top of her head and the tail behind her.
She was clearly not a pure human.
"Heh… How very fitting for a small country. A lowly beastkin, huh?"
At Rigel's words, the beastkin woman's eyes narrowed sharply.
Even as she glared at him with murderous intent, Rigel maintained his relaxed attitude.
