Episode 62
"Oh no."
Did I get carried away because my ability scores were working so well for me?
I had planned to get up early, but it was an awkward time to prepare for a trip to the Holy City.
Well, who cares? I had finished the emergency mission successfully, and there was no problem with taking it easy.
Yes. I could take this opportunity to meet some of the women I had hypnotized in the village, too.
At the thought, even my cock seemed to respond, growing healthy. I must have gotten plenty of rest.
But Noah was still sound asleep, as if she had yet to recover from her fatigue.
When I lightly brushed aside Noah’s blindfold with my finger, her eyelids moved slightly.
That examiner was sleeping soundly in my arms, oblivious to the world.
It was something I could never have imagined a few days ago.
I carefully got out of bed and headed to the grand bathhouse.
I washed myself beneath the flowing water, then sank into the warm bath.
The difference in temperature made my back prickle.
It was truly the beginning of a lazy morning.
When I was in the modern world, I think I was still busy in the mornings with one thing or another.
There were no such restraints here.
If I wanted to do something, I did it. If I didn’t, I didn’t.
It could hardly be called an advanced civilization, but interesting things happened in this other world often enough that I never seemed to get bored.
Monsters were a particularly good example.
It was nice that this world had an easily identifiable enemy of humanity.
When people fought one another, nothing could be more horrifying, so slaughtering monsters was better for my mental health.
It was amusing how Bella had managed to find a world that suited me so perfectly.
And on top of that, the agent of another god was a woman.
It was hard not to be pleased.
Could the Demon King be a woman, too? I let out a snort of laughter.
Even so, that was going too far. If coincidences piled up that much, it would be suspicious.
"Master. Why are you giggling to yourself? It’s creepy."
"Bella. When did you get here?"
"I came to hear about your plans, Master."
"My plans…? I haven’t really thought of anything. I suppose I’ll go out after eating."
"What should I tell the others?"
Bella naturally sat beside me, completely naked.
Her bold posture, confidently showing off her magnificent figure as if to say I could look if I wanted, was very Bella-like.
"Come to think of it, what have you been doing?"
"Yesterday, we gathered in Isti’s room and talked among ourselves. Sadly, it was just the girls who hadn’t been chosen by Master."
"Chosen…?"
Bella’s choice of words made a carefree laugh slip out of me.
"If you want to call it being chosen, then the fact that you’re in this castle at all is proof that you were chosen by me."
"The more women there are, the more jealous they become. Master only has one body, after all."
"Did you want me to choose you too, Bella?"
"…Urgh!"
Bella’s expression twisted.
She clearly didn’t want to answer, but had realized that she couldn’t avoid answering because of my suggestion.
"Yes. I was incredibly hurt. I wish you had called me again and given me that rough sex where you tormented me endlessly."
"I see."
"I hate this suggestion so much."
Having had her true feelings exposed so easily, Bella lowered herself into the water until her shoulders were submerged.
"The more women there are, the more jealousy grows. That’s painfully sound advice."
"…"
Bella glanced at me and then spoke.
"Are you going to do it? Have sex with me."
"No. I’m going outside to sleep with other women."
"I really hate you, Master."
"Once I leave the village, I won’t be able to see them for a while."
"Hmph. Those women who weren’t chosen."
Bella grumbled like an obviously sulking girl.
"They’re certainly attractive, but they have roles to fulfill in the village."
"Then they must not be attractive enough for you to drag them along by force."
"Isn’t it exhausting to look at the world through such a twisted lens?"
"Well, isn’t it obvious? I, Bella, the former goddess, am the absolute standard of beauty in Master’s eyes. The girls in this castle aren’t quite at my level, but… they’re pretty close, wouldn’t you say?"
"Good grief. What an insolent brat."
She made it hard to tell whether she was a slave or a goddess.
Even though she acted cheeky toward her master, she was pretty enough to be arrogant without becoming irritating.
And whenever we had sex, she immediately flattened herself and surrendered, becoming crazed for submissive sex, which made her adorable too.
I suppose I couldn’t hate her anymore…
"…"
I splashed water onto Bella’s face.
"Puh!? What are you doing?"
"Nothing."
I brushed aside my embarrassment.
"Before we leave today, I’m just going to say goodbye to the villagers."
"What about going to the Holy City?"
"Tomorrow morning. I’m planning to leave the method to Noah. I’ll discuss it at the table while we eat."
"All right."
Bella stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"Huh? Master must be hungry, right? I’m going to prepare lunch."
"…"
Reluctant to let her go, I grabbed Bella.
Bella soon put on a confident smile and spoke.
"You really can’t resist, can you? You’ve fallen head over heels for the goddess’s beauty, haven’t you?"
I pulled Bella toward me as she giggled and provoked me, then shoved her head into the water.
"Glub!!?"
"Stay still."
"Gulp! Blub!?"
Holding Bella’s head down firmly as she struggled to escape in surprise, I inserted myself into her pussy from behind.
With wet slapping sounds, I forced my cock into Bella’s tight pussy.
When Bella’s resistance weakened and bubbles began to rise, I pulled her by the hair.
"Bwah!"
Bella had swallowed a great deal of water and looked dazed.
"What are you doing… Glub!?"
I shoved Bella’s head back underwater and thrust into her pussy from behind, rhythmically rolling my hips.
Perhaps she liked it quite a bit, because Bella’s pussy quickly loosened.
Soaking wet, it began accepting my cock with ease.
This time, I kept my hand fixed and continued thrusting until Bella wanted to come up.
"Blub! Ugh! Glub!"
Even when Bella began struggling, I made her endure it for a little longer.
Bella’s pussy squeezed my cock tightly again and again.
When I yanked her hair and pulled her out, Bella gasped for breath with half-lidded eyes.
"It would be pretty funny if the goddess of fire drowned in water."
"Sob, huff…!"
Without mercy, I shoved her head underwater again and roughly pounded her pussy with my cock.
I cared only about my own climax, using Bella’s pussy for the stimulation I needed.
The only sounds were the rapid splashing of water and Bella gulping it down.
Bella’s pussy was perfectly wet now and began taking my cock with pleasurable ease.
I immediately let her raise her head.
"Ghk. Hngh. Hah…!"
"Does it hurt?"
Bella nodded repeatedly.
"You’re a pussy slave. You can endure it, can’t you?"
I submerged Bella’s head even deeper, then held it down while wildly rocking my hips and stirring the inside of her pussy.
Bella kicked her feet as if begging for her life.
I didn’t let her go, thrusting roughly into her pussy. When she was nearly at her limit, I grabbed her by the hair.
"Ahh♥ M-Master…♥"
"Do you like it? Water-torture sex."
"That’s too much. If it had been someone else, water might have gotten into my lungs and I could have been in danger."
"But that level is just right for you, isn’t it?"
"Puhk?!?"
I shoved Bella’s head underwater again and ejaculated inside her.
Thanks to the suggestion of submission, Bella’s pussy grew even more receptive when she was being used one-sidedly.
I thrust rapidly, pouring the semen that had built up that morning into Bella’s womb.
"Haa…"
I pulled out and stood up.
When I relaxed my grip, Bella’s submerged upper body floated back up.
"I’m leaving."
I left the bathhouse without looking back.
Then I went to the dressing room.
I had a feeling there might be some men’s clothes there.
I had bought some clothes, underwear, and socks to change into when I went to the Black Forest with Karen, but since I put them straight into my personal storage locker after using them without washing them, I had quickly run out of clothes to wear.
Besides, I had decided to give the clothes I had been wearing until a moment ago to Noah.
I went to the dressing room wearing only fresh underwear.
Oh, there were men’s clothes. They were here.
The only person who would have gathered men’s clothes that fit me in the dressing room was my pussy slave, Bella.
What a thoughtful girl. Maybe I should have tortured her one more time?
I didn’t know who had made them, but perhaps Bella had collected them from various eras. There were plenty of clothes with such clean finishing that they wouldn’t look out of place even in the modern world.
What caught my interest most among them was a Western-style suit.
I had heard something like that back in the modern world.
That Western-style suits were highly breathable and good even in extreme environments like deserts.
I didn’t know whether it was true, but when it came to clothing techniques and materials, surely the modern world was far more advanced.
I tried it on as an experiment and found it quite comfortable.
A jacket and tie were prepared as well, but I deliberately skipped them because they felt too constricting.
I wore only the suit pants and white shirt without a belt, and rolled up the sleeves however I pleased, turning them into short sleeves.
I put on black dress shoes and stood in front of the mirror.
Not bad.
Ever since I had been stabbed to death on my way home from a convenience store, I had never once escaped my sloppy fashion sense.
Even the clothes I had bought while shopping with Karen had been chosen with almost no effort.
That made the contrast feel even stronger.
Was this the first time I had dressed up since being transported here?
Feeling rather proud, I left the dressing room.
"Who…?!"
The moment I stepped out, Karen stared at me in shock.
"Gasp, it was you, Oppa?"
“Does it really not suit me?”
Karen stared at me with her eyes wide, dazed for a moment before she suddenly came to her senses and spoke.
“No! It suits you well. You look so cool.”
“Bella had prepared clothes from the world I used to live in. So I put them on right away.”
“Do all the men in the world you lived in wear clothes like that, Oppa?”
“Not all of them, but they’re pretty common.”
Karen seemed fascinated as she walked in circles around me, examining me from every angle.
Feeling embarrassed, I suddenly grabbed Karen’s breasts.
“Ahh.”
Though Karen reacted shyly, she did not avoid my touch.
She straightened her back and stood still, allowing me to touch her comfortably even as I openly fondled her.
Hmm. What a good girl.
“Are you done touching me? Oppa.”
“I could keep touching you all day.”
“Don’t joke around.”
But I’m serious.
When would I get the chance to prove it?
As I was seriously pondering that question, my stomach suddenly began to growl terribly with hunger.
“Where’s Isti?”
“Isti? She should be in her room.”
“Then… could you bring her to the dining hall in about fifteen minutes?”
“Okay, got it!”
There was no point in going to the dining hall just yet, so I returned to my room.
There was no one inside.
Judging by the absence of Noa’s clothes, she seemed to have returned to her own room.
Though she didn’t need to, she had even smoothed out the rumpled bedsheets before leaving.
“Hmm?”
As I looked around the room, I felt that something was missing.
Ah, the clothes I had taken off were gone. I had promised them to Noa, hadn’t I? The thought of Noa leaving while hugging my clothes like a treasure brought a smile to my face.
I gazed at the scenery outside through the transparent barrier blocking the walls of the castle lord’s room.
My mouth feels bored. It would be nice to have someone bring me something to drink at times like this.
Bella could procure the ingredients, so I would need a professional cook, too.
Good. The thought of making the Eight-Colored Shell Castle livelier than it was now filled me with energy.
Shall I head over now?
I went to the dining hall.
It seemed Bella was already in the kitchen.
The other three had sat down first and were chatting, but the moment Isti saw me, her eyes went wide.
“D-Darling?”
“I told you you’d be surprised, Isti.”
Karen giggled beside Isti.
“I can roughly guess what you were talking about. Is it really that strange for me to be dressed up like this?”
I pulled out a chair beside Noa and sat down.
“Lord Dekal. You look like a different person.”
“You too, Noa?”
Since the castle was occupied only by women, it was only natural that they would be sensitive to a change in me, the sole man among them.
“Darling. It suits you so well.”
Receiving such a favorable evaluation from Isti made me feel oddly bashful.
“Noa. I’m planning to go to the capital tomorrow morning. Could you make the necessary preparations?”
“Yes. I will arrange a carriage.”
“A carriage? Would it take a long time to walk there?”
“Even with our rests kept to a minimum, it is a journey of four days.”
“Four days…”
I looked at Isti.
“Just how quickly did you make the round trip back then?”
“I used spatial teleportation. My spirit isn’t restricted outside.”
Isti spoke calmly, without boasting.
Karen and I knew how impressive that was.
After seeing Isti go and return, I had vaguely assumed that the capital might be unexpectedly close, but I had been sorely mistaken.
“Noa. I’ll leave the carriage to you.”
“Yes.”
“Today, let’s all split up and go our separate ways. Finish anything you need to finish, and carefully prepare whatever you need to bring. We’ll meet in the square tomorrow morning.”
“Got it.”
“What about you, Oppa?”
“I’m going to look around the village. Oh, Karen, come with me. We need to divide up the proceeds from cashing in the soul stones.”
“Ah, okay!”
Just then, Bella came out of the kitchen and served us lunch.
The food was extremely delicious.
If not for the ups and downs, I would have wanted to keep her in the kitchen permanently.
But this table, too, contained trap dishes born from one of Bella’s new experiments.
Isti and I avoided them through experience, while Noa evaded them through her sharp instincts. In the end, the trap dishes all made their way into Karen’s mouth.
After finishing our meal, I left the Eight-Colored Shell Castle with the other three.
I first took Karen to the Adventurer’s Guild.
