Part 2/3 of Chapter 9.

Big thanks to sir Boomhauer! Thanks for donating again brother! God it makes me feel good to know Ive got regulars who keep coming back.

Bash shut his mouth.

Judiths sister.

The Orc Hero knew nothing about her, but he imagined her appearance. If she was Judiths sister, she must have been just as beautiful.

Another beautiful female knight

It wasnt hard to imagine what the Orcs did to her.

Back then, no one batted an eye at rape.

For Orcs, it was just standard procedure to violate female captives.

When the peace treaty, which included the rape ban, was signed, the Human representative, Blood-Stained Lily, beat down one of the Orcs and announced.

You spit on our pride by raping the females of other races. Orcs! You are proud warriors, are you not! Every woman that has ever stepped on the field of battle is just as worthy and proud a warrior as you are! They come prepared to die! Do not insult them! Let them die with honor!

Even after they understood the gravity of their actions, there were many whose sexual desires prevailed, those who wanted to keep things the way they are, and those who feared for the continuity of their race.

Not all Orcs, though.

Ive always hated Orcs. I hated those Orcs who broke my sister. My wonderful, dignified, intelligent sister. The sister that I looked up to

Judiths face twisted with hatred, just at it had when she first met Bash.

She loathed the Orcs.

She wanted to kill them. To exterminate them.

Her hatred was so intense that you could nearly hear her thoughts.

However, her expression soon softened.

But Ive changed my mind. Now I know that there are good Orcs out there. Like you.

Her hatred would never disappear.

But this experience was able to soften her heart a little.

Judiths expression said as much.

Her story didnt resonate much with Bash, but Zell seemed to pick up a sign from it.

She flew up to his ear again and whispered.

(Mister, this is definitely not going to work.)

(No? She thinks Im a good man, right? It should be fine.)

(No, no, no, no, its not about you being a good man, its about you being an Orc. This lady here would never agree to get with an Orc. Even you, Mister, you have races with which you would never mate, right?)

Certainly, there were also races that Bash wouldnt even consider mating with.

For example, Lizardmen.

He didnt want to have sex with a reptile.

It was hard to even distinguish if one of them was male or female.

Not to mention Killer Bees.

Theyre literal Bees, and only gave birth to other Bees. Not even the strong Orcish genes could overtake their genetics.

Furthermore, once one of their females got pregnant, she would eat her mate.

Bash didnt want to have sex only once in his life.

There were plenty of other races which just werent suitable for sex.

If to Judith, Orcs were one of those, then marrying her would definitely be impossible.

(Listen, Mister. You cant get her as a wife, but she still thinks youre a good guy! Youve still got an opportunity here. Human women keep in touch with other Human women, you know? Maybe she can introduce you to another girl that doesnt mind being with an Orc!)

(I see!)

A lineup of female knights just as beautiful as Judith appeared in Bashs mind.

He liked every single one of them.

It was a shame that it didnt work out with Judith, but if he could still get a good-looking female knight, then all is well that ends well.

(Oh, but you cant just outright ask for an introduction. Human women dont like being used just to get at their friends. They dont like playboys.)

(So, what should I say?)

(Ah! Uhmm Oh, I know! Maybe something along the lines of Im looking to meet people.)

Bash nodded.

He could always rely on Zell, after all.

Were he on his own, he would never have had the wisdom to get this far.

Judith, I have a favor to ask of you.

A favor?

Im looking to meet people like I did here in Krassel. Do you have any ideas?

Judith tilted her head, confused as to the meaning of his words.

However, she immediately looked at Houston, surprised.

The Knight Commander, who had been listening to the pairs exchange while standing just off to the side, had just nodded.

If so, I might be able to help you.

Mu you can?

Im the Knight Commander of Krassel, you know. Being aware of worldly happenings and collecting information is one of my responsibilities.

As Knight Commander, Houstons rank was equivalent to an Orcish Great Warchief.

And a good Great Warchief will always look out for his warrior subordinates.

Conversely, a man who could not support his subordinates would never become a Great Warchief.

Orcs may be a simple race, but they werent stupid.

They were well aware of the qualities that made up a good commander.

A strong sword arm, like Bashs didnt necessarily translate to good commanding skills.

With that in mind, the Hero understood that the Knight Commander must be very familiar with the female knights that were working under him.

You should head to the Land of the Elves, to the Forest Town of Siwanasi. Im sure youll find what youre looking for there.

Oh, Elves, is it?

This was not the introduction he had imagined.

Bash had been hoping to meet another female knight.

But Elves were good too.

They werent as fertile as Humans, but it was possible for them to conceive with Orcs. Furthermore, their children would have considerable magical potential. They were a good match.

They were popular due to their longer lifespans, stronger bodies, and they had many beautiful individuals among them.

On the other hand, some Orcs disliked them. They though Elves were too skinny.

Though Bash wasnt one of them.

There werent any Elves back in the breeding grounds. Itll feel special and exclusive if he were able to take on home.

Hed be able to save his dignity as a Hero.

(Elves, huh? Thats not bad Mister!)

(Yosh! Well, lets head there as soon as possible.)

Satisfied, Bash turned on his heel.

Seeing this, Houston was surprised.

Wait, where are you going?

To the Siwanasi Forest.

Yes, the Siwanasi Forest wasnt far away. From where they were right now, it was in the opposite direction from the Fortress City of Krassel.

There was no need to return to Krassel.

Why dont you stay the night in Krassel? Youd be welcome!

I dont have time for that.

Bash wanted to lose his virginity as soon as possible.

If the Forest of Siwanasi was where he could find his next opportunity, then he had to go there as soon as possible.

I thought we could celebrate our victory at the tavern tonight.

Its too soon to celebrate. I havent achieved my goal yet.

Houston seemed to want to insist a little more.

But he then gave Bash a defeated smile.

Youre right. I understand. Then I wont hold you back.

The other soldiers who hadnt taken part in the conversation looked at Orc with curiosity.

They eyes full of slight worry, they were wondering whether it was really alright to let him leave just like that.

But neither Houston nor Judith protested.

They silently looked at Bashs back as he walked away

Until Judith stepped forward.

Sir Bash.

Bash paused.

He was expecting something.

Ill pray for your good fortune.

It was nothing but a faint expectation.

He looked back over his shoulder towards Judith.

And he nodded.

The Orc Hero slowly walked away.

His destination: Siwanasi Forest.
