"Also, this also serves as a reward for the Ogre from the King. He has already declined the title. It would be best to accept it honestly to save the King's face."
My father, who mistakenly thought I was worried, gave me some additional explanation.
I guess there was no escape prepared from the beginning...
The other day, my father informed me that I would be officially declining the award of the title.
The reason is obvious. Because the freedom I seek doesn't require such a title.
"I understand. I will do my best to meet the king's expectations."
"Hahaha. I'm sure the King will be happy too. I'm also proud that my proud son was chosen for such a prestigious position."
My father was in a good mood and patted me on the shoulder.
"Later, I will personally explain the location of the Forbidden Library. You probably haven't completely recovered from the fatigue of the battle yet. Please stretch your wings for a while."
"I will take your word for it."
"Reina, if you have any trouble, please tell me right away. There's no need to hold back."
"Thank you for your concern. But it's okay. As long as I can be with Ogre-kun, that's enough for me."
"Hahaha! I see! ...My grandchild may soon be able to see this."
I couldn't hear my father muttering something, but Reina hadn't picked it up either, so it probably wasn't anything particularly important.
"Ogre boy. Lady Reina. Dinner is ready. Please come to the dining room."
"It's just the right time. Now, you two, go eat a lot. I'll be leaving soon too."
After saying that, my father stood up and put on his coat.
It looks like the discussion ends here.
When we tried to leave, we were stopped by someone calling us ``Ogre.''
"I will continue to investigate the nobles that Reyna provided information on for a while. This is the last time, so once we have examined it further, we will come up with countermeasures against Flone. The entire Verret family will support you, Ogre."
The expression on his face that tells him that is not that of Gordon Verret, the current head of the family, but Ogre Verret's father...
That fact made me a little happy.
From then on. We were playing around as if we were venting our pent-up feelings from working hard the past few days.
A student's responsibility is to study, but if you don't take a break from time to time, it can be mentally exhausting.
Especially since the King is trying to force me to get involved, I'm sure there will be more opportunities to encounter bloody scenes from now on.
If you go out of your way to push yourself through your free time, you'll end up giving up.
With that in mind, today we came to fulfill the girls' wish to go to a private beach.
「......」
"…Is there something wrong with my stomach, Karen?"
"Oh, oh, no... you see! I thought the Ogre's body was amazing."
"I've been training for that for a long time."
Come to think of it, this was Karen's first time seeing my body directly.
"Can I touch you?"
"Just enjoy it without holding back."
"No..."
Karen's face turned as red as her hair, and she grabbed my arm first.
"Oh, oh~. So thick..."
"..."
"Wow, it's so tight. I can't fit it in both hands."
"..."
Somehow, I started to feel like something was being done to her because of her facial expressions and lines.
The way her wet hair stuck to her cheeks gave her a strangely dazzling look.
Of course, if I released my desires in a place like this, I would definitely be hated, so I would never do that.
"His chest is thick too...he's muscular."
Saying that, Karen gently put her face on his chest.
Because it was cool from the water, I felt even more the warmth of Karen's body temperature.
I felt a little embarrassed as I realized that I was touching her directly without any clothes between them.
...But it's not a bad feeling.
As the two of them were spending some time in silence, they heard Mashiro's loud voices coming from behind, breaking the silence.
"Wow! Alice is ticking too! As expected~"
"Even if I press it, my finger will bounce back..."
"Hehe. As Ogre-sama's sword, I can't afford to be lazy."
When I looked over, Mashiro and Reina were enjoying Alice's six pack with their fingers.
...I think the average man in the world would lose confidence if he saw that body.
I could tell at a glance that he was well trained.
"Tick, tick, tick."
Reyna pokes Alice in the stomach again.
Three times, I thought it was going to attack, but this time it changed direction and headed for the greedy girl next to me.
"...poyoyo~n"
"Reina-san!? Are you going to be angry!?"
"Ahaha, I'm sorry."
Mashiro, who has become a red demon, begins chasing Reina as she runs away.
But, alas. With Mashiro's athleticism, he will never be able to catch up with Reina.
Reina has had her body strengthened, so there is no chance of it happening.
Well, it'll be a good exercise... As I was looking at it, Karen was enjoying Alice's abs this time.
"Hmm..."
"can i help you?"
"I thought which one was harder than Ogre's abs…I wasn't sure."
Karen said and shrugged.
I see. I don't remember ever verifying that.
Alice checks every inch of my body every time we train, but I almost never get to touch her body.
...I'm starting to get a little worried too.
"Alice. Can I touch you too?"
"Oh, Ogre-sama too!? It's not that big of a deal, but... if you want... please go ahead."
Alice was unusually shaken, but she calmed down in just a moment and held out her abdominal muscles.
Since I got her permission, I gently touched her stomach.
Wow...amazing hardness...
There's not a single place to pinch.
It feels heavy, as if you're pushing against a huge castle wall.
I try to press my abdominal muscles with my other hand, but I can't feel them being this strong.
It seems like I'm still not diligent enough.
It seems like I need to push through my body even more to reach her level.
In other words, there is still a wide range of possibilities for becoming stronger not only in magic, but also physically. Just knowing that would have been enough to touch Alice's abs.
...No, let me correct it.
I was able to vividly see the moment when Alice's cheeks turned red.
This is the biggest gain.
"Ogre-sama...is it okay now?"
"Ah, thank you. Thanks to you, I learned a lot."
"No, I would be more than happy if I could be of help to Ogre-sama.…Then, I'm going to swim for a bit!!"
"eh"
"A-Alice-san!?"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Alice dashed across the sandy beach, used her incredible leg strength to jump over ten meters, then landed in the water and began swimming.
Its force was incredible, and the figure disappeared with a huge amount of water spray.
Eventually Alice's screams could no longer be heard.
"...Are you okay?"
"...If it's Alice, you don't need to worry. Besides..."
When I looked behind me, I saw Mashiro lying on the ground and Reina twitching at her squishy stomach.
I thought maybe it was because I couldn't hear Mashiro's voice halfway through, but it turned out as I expected.
"...For now, let's carry it under the parasol."
"Ahaha...that's right."
With bitter smiles on our faces, we went to Mashiro's aid.
By the way, Alice came back three hours later.
He returned with a fish about as tall as himself hanging from his waist.
