Since Shigure-san seemed to want to know more about these things, then it was my duty to teach her more about this! I couldn't let her down, could he?

"W-Whaah~ ..."

So, with that thought in mind, my hands that were holding hers moved to caress her chest and legs... I think because she was a Master of Arms and therefore it was not so necessary to do such intense physical training, then Shigure-san was softer than Miu-chan and Renka-chan...

My fingers sank into her elastic skin! And they constantly ran over her legs or tried to go under those white fabrics in the form of bandages on the chest... it was a bit curious how even though they were tightly pressed on her chest, it was impossible for them to hide those big mounds! These fabrics only managed to highlight those big breasts more!!

...well, more than to hide them, I think Shigure-san thought that by tying them like that, those big breasts of hers would move less than with a bra and so they wouldn't get in the way much when she was fighting.

But...

Shit! Right now I wished more that she was wearing a bra! While these bandages gave her a special charm, since these were quite tight, they were difficult to remove!

…Well, unlike the upper part, the lower part seemed much easier to remove… this could be easily pushed aside to show the most sacred part of this goddess!

"A-Alex?~… Hmn~… T-That's it…"

Although she did not know much about these matters may be, it was not strange that as a woman she understood very well that this part of her was quite important and she had to defend it...

So when she felt my hand come close to her crotch, this time it wasn't the same as before where she just let me do whatever I wanted... she quickly moves her hand to stop the mine. Well, she was only an innocent girl and not a fool after all.

Although... when I look into her eyes, it's not like she's bothered by my actions. What she was showing now was a bit of nervousness and some doubts... so maybe if I insist a bit more, then she would probably stop her resistance!

But... I didn't feel very good about pushing too much to this cute girl. After all, it's not like I'm in any rush to eat her now… although, it's clear that my partner in my crotch doesn't have the same thought as my brain! It seemed to want to rip my swimsuit so that it could attack Shigure-san by itself!!

[Crash!!]

As Shigure-san and I were inside our own thoughts about what to do, suddenly our attention is captured by a tree that shaking strongly a little far away from us. Then as a result of this, the environment we were in seems to break down and Shigure-san's eyes turn completely serious while she immediately takes her sword that she had left at her side.

…Seeing her hold the sword, I could only thank her and god that her character to be quite calm! If she had the personality of Rei or Revy, then if my actions had bothered or scared her, I surely wouldn't have ended up with just a couple of bruises or some broken bones!

Shaking my head to try to get rid of that little chill that ran down my spine by thinking that, I also direct my vision towards that place while frowning.

While I was not entirely sure to continue to the end with Shigure-san, at least I was sure that I would continue enjoying my time with her doing some other things lighter!! If some damn bear couldn't think of a better place and time to sharpen its nails or scratch its back in that tree, then tonight I'll have bear soup!!

…I couldn't taste the shark soup since they escaped earlier, but I'm sure I will catch that damn bear even if I have to chase it all over the damn island!!

Unfortunately, when Shigure-san and I arrived at that place, there was nothing there… there was only the tree that had been split in half and fallen to the ground. Also, there was no sign of any animal… so I couldn't vent my frustration on this one! If I had retained my domain I don't think it could have escaped...

Although… maybe this was for the best. That tree was pretty thick! So the idea of fighting something that could split trees that size by just wielding its claws was a bit scary… I wonder if there are any Soul level 2 animals in this world?

"... let's g-o back... A-Alex..."

Hearing Shigure-san's words I couldn't help but get a little excited again, sadly, her words weren't for us to return to the same place as before to continue what we were doing...

After her words, she starts walking towards the place where the others should be. So, helplessly, I could only follow in her footsteps with my head down... it was a bit difficult to tell her to go back to the rock from before!

“ … Shigure-san ? "

"... Ju-st Shigure..."

Suddenly she stops her feet and turns to look at me, then with some hesitation, I ask her to see if something was wrong. Listening to me, she frowns and then says that to me while stretching her hand.

"... let's go back, Shigure!"

"U-Un ..."

Taking her hand that was stretching, this time a little more cheerful I start to walk along with her. Then, being by her side, I thought I saw her face blush a little while looking at our connected hands...

(POV Ma)

"... didn't you say that Shigure was an adult and could make her own decisions, Akisame?"

"..."

"Damn it! Couldn't you warn us before doing something like that?! We had to leave that place as if we were escaping because we were doing something wrong!! "

When things seemed that they were going to reach the important point, suddenly Akisame had hit a tree... so, with no other alternative, we had to quickly leave that place! As I have thought, he did not entirely agree with his previous words...

…On the other hand, I don't think we were doing anything good either, Sakaki. If they discovered us there, then things would have gotten a bit awkward for all of us!!

“… It seems that the little guy has an excess of energy. We have probably been a little soft with him... without a doubt, it is not a good thing.

Since we are the people who teach him, it is our duty to get the full potential of that boy. Even at the expense of his body become totally exhausted and he finishes unable to move even a finger... no, rather that's our responsibility! "

"" ... ""

This guy... he probably just can't admit that he was upset by Alexander-kun's actions! Akisame was simply looking for ways to release that discontent with the boy!! That was obvious, but… neither I nor Sakaki can say anything to try to defend him! It seems that each of us has our own disagreement with what we just witnessed...

Minutes later, after we had again reached the small camp where the others were already resting while Apachai and the Old man were watching over them, those two also return...

At first glance, you could see that the relationship of these two had become more closely now... and was sure that the one who has the greater disagreement with this was Akisame which could only frown upon seeing them appear holding hands.

Although… damn it! I really can't help feeling a bit envious about this too!! Besides, although it is for a different reason, I was not the only one who felt this ... I wonder if Sakaki had any attempt to get closer to Shigure before? No, I think that the personality of those two is not very compatible, and surely he knows it.

Also, this man doesn't seem to have much luck with the opposite sex… although, I think the reason for that is his own fault due to his Tsundere personality.

So his envy was more similar to that generated in someone single when he sees a couple lovingly interact in front of him.

…In fact, I was more inclined to think that Apachai and Shigure might develop some feelings for each other, but… in the end, that guy didn't seem very interested in those matters either. Therefore, the relationship that ended up forming between them was something more like brothers...

He doesn't even seem to notice the atmosphere around those two now… or if he does, his only reaction is the same as ever and he just shows the smiling face of always.

The rest of the night passes peacefully, and then the next morning we re-board the ship to return to the Dojo. I would like to say that things had returned to normal after everyone had woken up after resting, but...

"W-Why I have to be the only one rowing the boat to get us back?!"

"Fufufu... it seems your body has fully recovered, so you need to get back to exercising your body now, Alexander-kun."

“Hehehe… brat, the harder you try to get there faster, the less time you'll have to do that. Also, the sun is quite hot, so I really hope you get us to the dojo quickly… I want to be able to have a cold beer when we do. "

"Shit!! If one of you does, then surely we had already arrived in Japan!! Besides, I wasn't the only one resting on that Island! Why Hamtaro-kun can be quietly there while he just watches me move the damn oars?!! "

… For the return trip, Akisame and Sakaki had put Alexander-kun to row. He probably thought that someone else would surely relieve him when he got tired, so he hadn't complained about it until the two of them told him that he would be the only one who would row to go back.

Seeing the smile of those two when seeing him complain while he was drenched in sweat and continued to paddle, they were undoubtedly enjoying this a bit... no, surely it was not just a little, they were enjoying it quite a bit!

I really don't think it's something admirable to those two doing a little boy suffer like this… although… I'm probably not the right person to say something to them for this either. While it's not like I was enjoying seeing little Alexander in this situation, I didn't help him either... and even...

"Alexander-kun... wouldn't it be unfortunate if the girls' white and beautiful skin were burned by the sun? You shouldn't make them suffer, you know?"

"Kuh! D-Damn it! I will remember this, you fucking black-hearted Masters!!! "

Alexander-kun was a boy with quite clear priorities, and I knew very well that one of these were the girls! So knowing that, I said those words to him… that was much more effective than forcing him to continue rowing.

Those words quickly kick in and then after he lays his eyes on the girls who were looking at him with a bit of concern, then he begins to row harder while yelling.

Well... this surely won't kill him and will only make him stronger... in various ways.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------

(POV Alexander)

The next morning, we collect everything to be able to return, and then we start our return journey. When the Masters put me to row, I thought it was just that it was only that I was the first to have the turn to do that, and so I didn't give it much thought.

This couldn't ruin the good mood that I woke up to! After all, my only thought in my mind at the time was that my stay in this world could only get better from now!! Unfortunately, it seems that I was naive… it was as if the world told me not to be complacent or it wanted to punish me for something!!

… Besides, my words weren't just a way of expressing myself for having a bit of bad luck! That really worried me a little and scared me! I-I really didn't make this world mad from the things of before, did I? L-Let's be positive and only think of this as a mere coincidence...

The problem that led me to have these thoughts was nothing else than when I began to feel my arms a little numb, I spoke to the others so that someone could take my place. Since I had worked hard, therefore I had the right to a well - deserved break talking with the girls, right?! Above all, I wanted to see if things between Shigure and I had really changed... or maybe a part of me just wanted to make sure that last night was not a dream!!

But… So the answer I get for this was that I would be in charge of rowing until we got to Japan! Also, I had no choice but to do it! I could not make girls suffer or received some damage from the intense sun shining high in the sky!!

...to be honest, I don't remember very well if I managed to paddle to shore on my own or if I fainted at seeing the mainland in the distance with excitement... all I remember is that I was already in the dojo when I woke up!

Also, my arms were so numb that I thought they were going to end up falling off my body! I can only be thankful that my body seems to recover quickly from extreme exhaustion… the next day I no longer had so much discomfort to be able to move normally.

Even though those damn Masters' training has always been a bit extreme, I think that day they were a bit overdone! Or so I thought, but… it seems that I had still underestimated them a bit!

In the following days, the intensity of my training had gone up several degrees! At first I could afford to tease Kenichi a bit while those Masters tortured him, but… now our roles have been reversed!!

Now the screams that had become a habit to hear in the Dojo were mine as I could see Kenichi smiling a little!!

These last few days it really seemed as if these Masters wanted to make up all the previous days that I couldn't practice due to my injuries… because of that, my resentment towards Master Ma's brother had increased even more!

...the idea of setting the guy on fire so that this time he really burned kept popping up constantly in my head every time I dragged myself to bed so I could finally rest from a day of torture!
