《I Reincarnated as the Villain in an Eroge, But Before I Realized, I Became a Capture Target》 Prologue Warning! Dubcon! Proceed at your own risk! "Ahhhhhhh....nh! Ah...hii? Ii? ...Fuaaaa? " What is happening? Something was buried inside me. It filled me to the brim and ate into me. It felt unbelievably good. A shock ran down my spine which made my body quiver. What was it? I didn''t understand. The thing inside me, pushed against my deepest part. A shriek escaped me. A pleasant sensation washed over my whole body as I trembled. "Ah...ah...what...what...is..." "Ahh, you''re awake, Zagan. Thank goodness." A face peeked at me. It was a familiar one. "Y-You...Luca...what...ahn...ahn!? What...are..." When I tried to push away the face that was right next to me, my arms were pushed down. And then I was assaulted with the sensation of something that poked me deep inside my stomach as it made squelching sounds. What it was, it felt great as it rubbed against my insides - even my butt trembled. It felt so good that I squeezed the thing inside me and felt it way too much. Even if I tried to grasp the situation, for some reason my head felt hazy and my vision flickered. Really, what is it? "Fufu, Zagan, you look really cute when you''re confused and make a face that says that you don''t understand what is happening. You always act cold and put on an unconcerned expression usually." "Hi...ah...ahn...ah...ah..." "Your voice sounds like you like it. You know, right now, my penis is inside Zagan. It''s fucking you inside your ass, my hot and large thing. Understand? " He brough my hand which he had grabbed, to my butt. And then forced me to touch it. My anus. There, just as Luca had said, his hot penis has fucked me. The very moment I realised it, I was pressed hard against and the tingling sensation once again washed over the edges of my hole that had been forcibly spread open. Even though I wanted to refuse, perhaps it was because of the pleasure, the strength left my body. "T-That...why...this...ah..hn!" "You''re still in a daze I see. Really, you''re too cute. It''s fine, just feel it like that." He kissed my cheeks and the rims of my eyes. At the soft sensation of his lips, I reflexively closed my eyes. He licked my tears that tricked down, and nibbled at my ear. "Hah...Luca...sto...hnn...ah...ah..." How did I end up in this situation? As my insided squelched and stirred, as I panted, short of breath, I racked my brains. CH ss - 1 ¡ùThe previous chapter''s yukata sex scene. Can be skipped. The fireworks were going to start at 7:00 p.m., so I opted for a light supper first, and then stepped out to the terrace with Luca just as it was about to start. It was cooler than it had been in the afternoon, and a light breeze was blowing past us, so I felt comfortable in my yukata. The fireworks went off soon after. Moreover, they were set off from three different locations. I figured that it was because big cities were so large and populated that having only one spot for the fireworks would force the people to be too crowded. The fireworks that looked the biggest to us were the ones that were closest, their sound reaching us a few seconds later. [Whew... BOOM!!!] Numerous large, beautiful flowers bloomed in the night sky. I felt nostalgic as I observed the vivid colours and the loud sounds that echoed in my heart, no different how it had been from my previous life. It was probably the one thing that made me think of summer the most. "It''s beautiful, isn''t it?" "Yeah, it is." My voice wasn''t drowned out by the sound of the fireworks because we were a little further away, and Luca was very close to me. He was holding me by the waist and pressing his cheek against my head. Furthermore, Luca deliberately put his lips close to my ear and whispered, which tickled my ear slightly. When my shoulders hunched, a happy quiver escaped his throat, and he kissed me on the temple. "You''re so cute, Zagan. You¡¯re so mesmerized by the fireworks." "...I''m not cute. And you should watch the fireworks properly." "I''m watching. I''m looking at the fireworks being reflected on Zagan''s beautiful skin. Look, your cheeks are turning red." He then kissed me on the cheek. Wasn''t that considered a dodgy answer? Also, I would like him to stay quiet and do nothing for at least 10 minutes. Then after that, we could go inside. No matter how beautiful the fireworks might be, I didn''t have the emotional capacity to watch them for more than an hour. However, Luca started kissing me in less than three minutes. He started caressing me, from my thighs to my butt. It made me shiver. "I''ve been thinking about this all day, but Zagan in a yukata is... the line of your ass is so sexy. I''ve been wanting to touch it so badly; it''s been so hard to resist." "Uh... Luca, don''t stroke my butt." I couldn''t concentrate on the fireworks, and if I didn''t, we might end up having sex outside. I didn''t want to go to the festival, so I thought it wouldn''t matter this time. Just like the heroines in the game, I would end up involved in a public sex situation again. "Ngh...ah..." I jolted as a finger slipped between the crack of my ass over my yukata. Luca was also accurately playing with my anus over the cloth. My legs nearly gave out and I hurriedly grabbed at the terrace railing. "It must be difficult for you to keep standing. Would you like to sit down?" "We can do it when we get back inside..." "I''d prefer to do it outside because if we go to bed right away I''m afraid I''ll rip off your yukata all at once. Hey, Zagan. Why don''t we do it outside since no one''s watching?" He nibbled on my ear and then licked it. I shuddered and my hips quivered. My ass clenched around Luca''s finger. Then he chuckled with delight. "I just teased your ears a little, yet your ass got all tight. You''re so cute, Zagan." "Ummm... it''s all Luca''s fault." "Yes, it is. I am so glad that Zagan''s ass-pussy becomes tingly with any type of stimulation. I''m going to pound into you a lot tonight. Let''s make you more and more lewd, shall we?" I did not want him to do such a thing, so I did not nod, and yet he hugged me from behind and started stroking my lower abdomen over my obi. His hand continued to move down before it slipped between the folds of my yukata. He caressed my thighs directly, which caused me to jolt in response. Then he began to rub my penis through my underwear. "Even though I just played with Zagan¡¯s ass for a little bit, your cute little virgin cock is already erect and dripping with such lewd nectar." "Fu, ah...ngh...don''t t-touch..." "Right, I''m sure you want to cum from your ass-pussy. Zagan''s penis is just for peeing after all, right?" Despite my refusal to have sex at the moment because I didn''t want to do it outside, Luca deliberately interpreted what I was saying to something that suited him. I couldn''t help but feel embarrassed, and my face grew flushed. He placed a kiss on my cheek and bit my ear again. I was shivering in pleasure and my back reflexively hunched over. Ugh, it felt so good. The way he played with the tip of my penis also felt good. "Haa...ngh, Luca...stop..." "You''re going to get your underwear all wet at this rate. Shall we take it off?" Even though I didn¡¯t respond, Luca pulled me by the waist and we both sat on the terrace as he held me close. Then, he immediately pulled down my underwear. He held the backs of my knees one at a time as he pulled it completely off my legs. After that, Luca pressed his nose against my underwear... "You s-shouldn''t be sniffing something like that-ngh." "Mmm- ...I can smell Zagan''s dirty scent... Haa, I think I could come from just this." When he said that with a look of ecstasy on his face, I felt my body temperature rise. Damn you, you eroge protagonist! But even my glare didn''t affect him. Moreover, he put my underwear in his pocket. I don''t think I''m ever gonna get that back. I was a little mentally tired from all of this, so I let out a sigh and looked up at the night sky. Oh, the fireworks are beautiful... "Hmmm. Zagan''s legs peeking out from the gap in your yukata is too erotic. It''s driving me crazy. "Get a hold of yourself." I absent-mindedly mumbled in response. However, Luca still seemed to have caught my words. He chuckled happily and buried his face in my shoulder. "Zagan is talking back to me more than usual. You''re so cute when you act all aloof." "...not really. It''s not that I don''t want to do it with you at all." I worried that I might make Luca sad by rejecting him too much, so I couldn''t help but make such excuses. Then Luca gulped and made a strange sound from his throat. Was he okay? "Oh, you''re really too adorable, you know? What does Zagan want me to do? Do you really want me to go all berserk and fuck you so deeply and so hard right now?" "No, I didn''t mean that¡ª ...ah~!" "Just let me calm down first." As he said that, this time, he placed his hands on my chest and spread the top part of my yukata wide, exposing my shoulders. Then he rubbed my non-existent breasts and pinched my nipples. My body bent back as he played with both of them. "Aah, ah...L-Luca...ngh...ah..." "Zagan''s nipples are getting plumper, aren''t they? And they''re more sensitive. They''re so cute. Hey, Zagan, does it hurt when they rub against your clothes?" "Aah..no, n-not yet...mmm" "I see. Not yet, huh? Fufu, so cute." In a good mood, he kissed the nape of my neck and started sucking hard enough to place a hickey on me. He placed a lot of them on me today. Was it because of the yukata? He kept tugging on my nipples, which made me shiver as my body gradually grew hot with pleasure. The pit of my stomach started to throb. I could feel my anus twitching and contracting. I would have never thought that I would actually want Luca''s cock in me after all these days. Ugh, what was I supposed to do in this situation? "Aaah...Luca, Luca..." I couldn''t take it anymore, so I pressed my ass against Luca''s erect penis. The fabric in between us frustrated me, but it still felt good. "Your ass is wriggling. Zagan, are you feeling good?" "Ummm...ah..." When I helplessly nodded back, Luca kissed me so effortlessly on the cheek without making fun of me. As I looked at him, he smiled softly. "So can you tell me to put my penis in your naughty ass-pussy?" I immediately shook my head. I can''t do that. It''s too embarrassing; I''m never going to say it. Although, I didn''t know if I would be able to hold out if he kept on teasing me like that. "I suppose it''s difficult to ask for something like that out of the blue, huh? It''s not like I want to force you to say it. So this time, just nod your head and tell me which you prefer. Do you want me to put it inside you right now, or do you want me to eat you out before I put it in?" Luca compromised immediately. If it''s just nodding, then I could still do it. "Do you want me to put it in right away?" He caressed my lower abdomen, but I shook my head. I didn''t want to feel the severe embarrassment that I felt last night. To begin with, I was not a slut, so I was pretty sure it wouldn''t easily go in just like that without any prepping. "Would you like me to lick you first like I usually do?" I nodded. I could accept this. It was embarrassing, but as Luca said, he did it all the time. "Then I''ll lick Zagan''s lewd ass-pussy and make it nice and slippery before I put it in." "...Mmm." When I nodded again, Luca smiled happily. CH ss - 2 If you wanted to avoid hurting our bodies, why didn''t we return to our room instead of going all the way back inside just to get a rug and cushions? Or so the composed part of me thought, but as a man, I could understand the rush of having sex under a firework-lit sky, so I had no choice but to accept it. It was just this once. We would not be having any more outdoor sex in the future. I got down on all fours on the rug and braced myself with a cushion in my arms. I felt the touch of Luca¡¯s lips on my exposed back. "Zagan, do your knees hurt?" "No...I''m fine." "That''s good. Fufu, that dishevelled look in the yukata is nice. It gives you a different kind of charm. Zagan, you look so beautiful and sexy." He caressed my bottom and then my thighs over the yukata. Slowly, he moved forward and slipped his hand in between its folds. This time, he caressed my thighs directly, rolling up the hem of my yukata as he moved his hand towards my ass. It felt like my body was gradually being aroused to even greater heights of sensuality, and I naturally let out a heated sigh. My ass was completely exposed to the open air. Luca grabbed my hips and spread the cheeks, before burying his face between them. The overwhelming sense of humiliation from having such a place sniffed, combined with the stimulation of his breath over it, made me shiver. He kissed and licked it. As Luca was doing this, I continued to feel his magic energy slowly seep into me; it felt good. "Haa...ngh...a-ah..." "Hmm. Just a little lick, and your cute, plump shank[efn_note]T/N Blame the wwsd staff for this XD[/efn_note] is puckering up. Fufu, you have become so lewd, haven''t you?" "T-That''s...that''s cause L-Luca..." "Of course, it was because of me. I''m so happy that Zagan''s body became so naughty for me." "...un." He licked me a lot as usual. The sounds of licking and slurping filled the air. He licked me noisily, filling me with saliva and toying with me using the tip of his tongue. Ah, it felt so good. So good that my ass was quivering. I felt his tongue slip inside me. The sensation of it being caught between my anus sent a thrill of pleasure up my spine. My body formed a broad arch at the sensation, but my hips were held firmly in Luca''s grasp, which prevented me from pulling away. "Haa...a-ah...ngh~" He licked me all over, thoroughly loosening my sphincter. My moans were drowned out by the sound of fireworks, but my ears couldn¡¯t help but pick up the slurping sound of saliva as it echoed through me. My body trembled as the shame piled on top of the pleasure. It felt good to be licked by Luca. I couldn''t bear it. Oh, but I wanted him to go deeper if he could. I wanted Luca''s big penis to fill me up deep inside¡ª No, no. I was not a slut. It was just my imagination that my insides were twitching so much. To want it deeper and deeper was just... "Aah...mmm, ah...ngh." "Mmm, what a cute voice. But the fireworks might be a little too loud." His tongue slipped out with a small pop, causing my hips to jerk at the sudden loss of sensation. Pleasure was coursing through my body, making me twitch and spasm. But the pit of my stomach was tingling even more. It wasn''t enough. It just wasn''t enough, and my hips shook in frustration. I felt so ashamed of my body that I began to tear up. I felt like I was already turning into a slut. Did Luca really like this kind of body? Wouldn''t he hate it if I became one? Even though he was kissing my anus so lovingly at the moment. "Hey, Zagan. Can I put it in now?" He grabbed me by the waist and positioned his penis at my hole. When I felt the heat coming from the tip of his penis, I reflexively gasped. My anus instinctively relaxed itself and opened. I thought that he would easily put it in right away, but I felt the tip of his penis pull away. He repeated this quick touch, but then pulled away once more. Feeling frustrated, I turned to look back at Luca and met his gaze. He smiled at me sweetly and draped himself over my back. "Fufu. It feels good to have your ass-pussy kissed, doesn''t it?" "Ahh...I-I get it, so just... put i-in already..." "...Alright. Thank you, Zagan." For a brief moment, Luca''s eyes widened, but it was quickly replaced by a bewitching smile. I wondered why he thanked me. I wondered about it for a second, but I didn''t have any more time to think about it the moment his penis entered me. His thick thing spread my ass fully and slowly invaded my insides. He stimulated my prostate with the head of his dick; the feeling made my body shudder. I almost tightened up on reflex, but I knew it could still get in even deeper, so I tried to keep my womb relaxed and open. "Mmm, ahh...haa...ngh..." "Mmm, you feel all slippery today. It feels so good. Just like that...haa." As my insides were filled, his dick slowly pushed its way up my rectum. Perhaps it was because I was making an effort to loosen up to accommodate it, but it made it all the way to my colon without getting stuck. The sensation of Luca being buried within me, in addition to his magical energy seeping into me, made my body twitch restlessly. My vision flickered. My aching spot was filled, and my mind and body were satisfied. It felt good...being held by Luca felt incredibly good. "Aah...L-Luca...ah, ngh~?" He hugged me tightly from behind, and then started rubbing me through my yukata and caressing my lower abdomen. The warmth of Luca¡¯s large palm and the fact that his penis was buried in me made my thoughts melt. "Hah, Zagan''s insides are really wriggling and squeezing me. Fufu, you came again today just from me putting it in. You always come right away when I lick your ass-pussy before penetrating you. So cute~!" "Mmm? ...A-Aah...ngh~?" Perhaps it was because the inside of my head was so fuzzy, or maybe it was because he was talking at the same time as the fireworks were booming in the sky, but I couldn''t properly hear the second half of what he said. Moreover, Luca began to move his hips soon after that, which drew all of my attention. The slow thrusting of his hips, striking intensely into the depths of my womb, was enough to make me tremble. I could feel my walls stirring and wrapping around his penis. It felt so good. "Aah, ah, ah..." He kept slowly slipping back out and back in. I couldn¡¯t help but gasp at how good it felt to have my insides so deeply and thoroughly poked and prodded deep. Then, with a smack. I felt how deeply embedded he got into my colon. Oh, it entered. So deep, so deep inside. It felt so very good. "Ugh, haa...ngh...aaah~?" "Haa... Does it feel good, Zagan?" "Mmm, it feels good...ah." "Adorable. I love you. Ngh...Zagan, I love you." My chest ached so badly, probably because he said it in such an emotional way. At the same time, my insides tightened, and I arched back. Whenever he violently thrust in and out and deeply penetrated my body, pleasure spread all over me. I couldn''t hold back anymore; I began to rock my hips and I flexed and tightened my hole. It felt so good. Being hugged from behind and having my insides filled with Luca''s hot, hard penis felt really good. "Ah, ah... Luca...I-I''m cumming...ah." "Haa...Zagan, Zagan..." Maybe it was because I said I was cumming, but he started pounding into me even harder than before. My anus and the walls of my insides were rubbed so much that my body started to tremble. My hips bucked widely, as if to escape. Even so, I was still being penetrated deeply. "Ah...ngh, ah...mmm¡ª?!" With a shocking buzz, pleasure ran through my brain. I was cumming, I was cumming. It felt incredibly good. Luca, who was hunched over me, moaned in my ear because I had tightened around his penis as I came. I shivered at his hot gasps, and more pleasure flooded into my body. "Haa...ah...ugh...!" "...¡ª?!" I felt my whole body convulse violently as a huge amount of semen was released into me. So hot. It felt good. I was invaded by Luca''s magical energy while my own was being released. It was as if I was being repainted as Luca''s own, and yet it made me feel strangely happy. I couldn''t stop the shuddering gasps leaving my chest. "...haa...mmm...?" As I flexed my hips and basked in the lingering sensation of pleasure, Luca kissed my nape, and then slowly pulled his penis out. I shuddered at the feeling of my anus contracting once more and the sense of loss after being so full. My ass, which had been sticking up and out, collapsed to the side. I could hear the wet, lewd sounds coming from my womb. Just like that, I was flipped onto my back by Luca, who gave me an ecstatic smile. "You''ve stained your yukata with your own semen. And you''re looking so dishevelled. ...The current Zagan is very erotic." "...?" I opened my mouth to argue, but all that came out was an inaudible sound. I couldn''t shake off the lingering feeling of pleasure. It was because he had only ejaculated once. My hole was still tightening as it tried to absorb Luca''s mana. My body begged for more, and I instinctively started to rock my hips. When I couldn''t answer, he gently brushed back the hair that was sticking to my forehead and wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes. Then he kissed me on the lips. His tongue entered my already open mouth, and the tips of our tongues touched and gently licked each other. The tip of his tongue occasionally brushed my lips as he sucked on them. It was a soft, gentle kiss that seemed full of affection. I was intoxicated by the pleasing feeling of the kiss, and my lips parted even further. Instead, Luca stroked my cheek. "The firework show is almost over." "...Is that so?" Finally, I was able to say something back. My fuzzy head was gradually settling down. I guess that was it for tonight. We needed to clean up the mess of the sex that had obviously taken place here before everyone came home. I felt a little unsatisfied, but I didn''t want to turn into a slut, so I held back. The twitching feeling within me should subside with time. I wondered if it was wrong that I was thinking about this while watching the tail end of the firework show. Suddenly, I realized that both of my legs were being held up and Luca''s dick was positioned once more towards my exposed anus. "Huh? Hey...Luca, e-everyone is coming...back¡ªah...mmm." Because it had been in me just moments ago, it easily buried itself deep within my insides. Luca''s penis filled me once again. Moreover, the inside was coated with the semen that had been pumped into my hole. I immediately felt a rush of pleasure and writhed at the feeling. "Haa...That''s right. If we don''t do something, they will see us like this when they return. So why don''t you put your arms around my neck and hold on tightly just to be safe?" "O-Okay...ngh...ah..." I wanted to do something about being moved and having my insides teased, so I did as I was told and put my arms around Luca''s neck, holding him tightly. Then, with my legs held up under his arms ...eh, wha¡ª "Hiiiiiyaa?! ....Aah, ahh...S-Stop...Luca...uuuuah!" He lifted me, and the gravity pushed Luca''s penis as far and as deep into me as it could go. In addition, he kissed me on the cheek and, just like that, started walking away. The vibrations from his steps were so strong that my body was trembling, and my eyes started overflowing with tears. Wasn''t this what they called the "ekiben style{TL/N: Sexual position in which one person stands supporting the other. Also means boxed lunch bought at a station. XD}"? Ah, no, no way. I''m cumming. I hadn''t ejaculated, but I was cumming again. It felt good. It felt so good. "Aaaah, ah...t-this...deep...g-gonna cum...ngh! Aaaaahhhh~?" "Haa... Adorable. Zagan, you''re so cute. I''m going to carry you to our bedroom like this. I don''t want to drop you, so just hold on tight and continue sucking on my dick with your hole, okay?" I''d rather he dropped me, but because I came, my body couldn''t relax. I was holding Luca tightly, and at the same time, I was squeezing around his penis. I could see a tentacle opening the window then closing it as we entered the living room ...His magical manipulation has improved to the point where his penis wouldn''t go flaccid after using one. That''s okay. That''s fine. I just wanted him to put me down already. I was being rocked so strongly and teased so deeply that I''ve been cumming lightly the whole time. My body kept on bouncing and bouncing as I started to grow lightheaded. "O-Oi...ah...stop, L-Luca..." "Hmm? You want me to stop here. Then I''ll stay here and jolt you for a while." "N-No...put me d-down, ah...aah...ngh." "Fufu...what a cute cry. Since it''s a festival, we should walk around and eat. Come on, Zagan. Isn''t it delicious to suck on my dick while we walk?" "N-No...Aah, ah...ngh~?" "Already bouncing, are we? Zagan, will you slurp up my milk again for me?" "Aah... ahh... I will, I will!" "Really? Can Zagan''s lewd ass-pussy suck my milk properly?" "Y-Yes, I can. I can swallow it..." "Hmmm. Zagan is way too adorable. I can''t handle it~" The feeling was so good that I came too hard as I was being held up, and I couldn''t comprehend what was happening around me. My whole body was trembling from the intense pleasure, and tears were trickling down my face. Every time I sniffled, he kissed me on the cheek. The vibrations that travelled through me drilled into my insides. Occasionally, Luca would stop and rock me while he stood there, making me cum. Luka''s seeds were rampantly spilled into my insides. Aah, it felt good, it felt so good. I was not sure when we reached the bedroom, but he quickly set me down on the bed and embraced me again, and before I knew it, it was already morning. ----------------- The sun was shining down into the room. Luca was sleeping comfortably, and seeing that made me feel a little resentful. So I slapped him on his side, just like yesterday. I was careful not to wake him up though. I could still feel Luca''s penis lodged in my hole. I wondered how long it had been buried in me. The semen in my insides was the same as always, however. I stayed with Luca for a while, concentrating on the magical energy in my belly. I''ve recently noticed that my magic power would increase whenever he came inside me. I didn''t remember if that was a setting in the game. However, in order to nourish myself as much as possible, I converted the light mana into dark mana while slowly circulating it throughout my body. As I was doing this, Luca woke up. He looked at me and gave me a sweet, enchanting smile. "Good morning, Zagan. You look lovely today as well." "...Good morning Luca." Apparently, I have a weakness for Luca''s face... especially his smile. I had a few complaints that I¡¯d wanted to voice when he woke up, but I lost the urge to do so. Well, we were off to conquer the dungeon again today. I wouldn''t be seeing him for a while, so I decided to let it be and to not get mad. In the end, I was embraced as usual and wrapped in Luca''s gentle and comfortable warmth. Incidentally, when I went to the living room, I found that the rug and cushions we had left on the terrace had been collected. No one mentioned it, so I let it pass, but I couldn''t help but feel uncomfortable. I swear, I''m never going to do it outside ever again...

Did I faint after using up my mana...?" "Ahh, you finally remembered. How cute of you, you came three times before you remembered." "Hih...ah...auuuu...hn...nhg!" "After you fainted, I took you in my arms and carried you to this watering hole. It would have been dangerous to stay out there." Certainly, it would''ve been dangerous. The hollowed-out earth could collapse again, and we could fall into even deeper levels. There''s also the possibility of debris falling from above, and the fact that I shot out so much conspicuous magic would attract monsters. The reason he set up a tent on purpose must have been because of its potential to drive away monsters. He even put out bedding to take care of me when I passed out. However, after he provided so many items, why is this the only way to recover my magic power? I''m not a woman though. "Zagan, thank you for saving me. As thanks, I''ll give you lots of my mana, so take all of me, with your tight hole down there." "Ngh...! ...I''m...awake now, so it should be fine to drink MP..! potions!" "Nhhgh. Even if I thrust in just a little, you suck all of me right in... Zagan, is my mana that delicious?" Luca had a low, velvet, sensual voice. Enough to make one lose their senses. Since he didn''t have a voice in the game, it was Luca''s free will in front of me. There was no need for him to have such a sexy voice. Fuck you, you eroge protagonist bastard...! Even though I wanted to kick him away, because my mana was still depleted, I couldn''t move as I wished. My present situation of being surrounded by pleasure, muddled my mind. Sparks replaced thoughts. I could do nothing but tremble at the feeling of his heat inside me. Whenever he thrust inside with a sloppy squelch, I could feel myself tightening around Luca. My hips felt tingly. My toes curled. My breath escaped my parted lips in hot puffs. His length continuously rubbed against my walls as it was pulled out halfway and slowly reentered. With each thrust he rubbed against that narrow place that sent electricity up my spine. He slowly etched himself into the deepest parts of me, each trust hitting spots that again and again that made tears well up in my eyes from the forbidden pleasure. This was supposed to be for my survival, but why did it feel so good? "Ahh...uhh...hah...ah...ahn... ahh, hn..." "Hah, amazing. Is it because Zagan is a dark attribute user? When Zagan''s soft and wet heat wraps around me, it feels extremely stimulating- ah, I''m gonna... cum." Rougher now, he grabbed my waist and buried his cock to the hilt inside me - I could feel him in my stomach. His pace quickened and my thighs trembled. His hot breath on skin and the gentleness of his fingers were a sharp contrast to the savage pleasures trailing up my hips. Even faster now, our union made my mouth loll open in pleasure. My body trembled from the sensation of something forcing me open and then suddenly I felt warm semen pouring inside me. Luca growled lowly in my ear as his light mana burst into my body. Immediately, an intoxicatingly light and fluffy feeling spread throughout my body. Immersed by Luca''s light mana, a strong sense of pleasure surrounded me from head to toe. "!-------~~.......Ah ! " What is this? This is bad. I feel strange. It''s hot. It felt good. It felt too good and my body was twitching from the sensations dancing up my spine. I feel like I¡¯m losing myself. My voice would not come out as I mouthed soundless words of pleasure. With a crackle, light mana continued to explode inside me - I could even see stars in my vision. It felt so good, it felt so good - as unending pleasure and mana rolled through me, my lower half twitched as I reached an earth shattering orgasm. Again I came, even though nothing came out of my front. "!.... ------Ah, hya...!¡¡Ah...au...!" "Hah, amazi- ...Zagan''s ass pussy is tightening around me. It''s squeezing me and does not want me to let go. Hah, it feels too amazing!" Rough fingers gently brushed back my hair from my sweaty forehead. Luca softly teased my backside as he pressed himself in deeper than before. The semen that now poured out of him was mixed inside the deepest parts of me. My waist throbbed from the aftermath of the assault. "Fua...ah..au...u..." "Fufu, look at you. Your mind must be going blank. It feels good to have your ass fucked by me, right?" "Hi..., ah...ahn...uh..." Fucking. We''re fucking. That''s right, the heat that burst inside me was Luca''s love juice. The place that was being pounded was transformed by his mana. I could still feel it flowing into me. His thick liquid now coated my walls and marked me as his. Even though he was now longer inside, my body remained open and molded to his shape. "Ah...au...I, I..." "Yes. Zagan''s cute little cunt is sweetly calling out to me. It feels like whenever I say something dirty, you shiver with pleasure. Did you feel yourself twitch just then? Your reaction is really cute and makes me want to love you more. Do you realize it? You''ve got hearts reflecting in your eyes.Your tongue is hanging out sloppily. Here, let me give you a kiss." He sucked on my lips that I couldn''t close, and our tongues intertwined. Taken prisoner by that seductive sensation, my shoulders trembled. His breath, his skin, his cock, I couldn¡¯t get enough. Each kiss felt as if he was breathing life back into me. Our messy kiss of tongues and teeth left me addicted. The sensation made me dizzy. My mind was mush. One kiss from him made the tip of my tongue tingle with sparks of pleasure. "Fu, ah...n, nnmu...nn, nn." "Ngh... Zagan.... ngh, fu...." Our tongues tangled over and over and our saliva mixed together - and the combination made obscene sounds. Our hot breaths intermingled. As I tried to desperately gulp down the overflowing saliva that pooled in my mouth, Luca gave a small laugh as he brought his lips close. Closer still. After he had nipped my lips in saccharine kisses over and over, he slowly licked the back of my tongue. In a smooth and sensual move at last, he parted his lips from mine. My tongue was numb, my cheeks were burning, and I could hear my racing heart pound in my ears. I was left extremely horny just from a kiss. My lips were red from his relentless pursuit. "Hah, ah... it''s my first...time, yet I..." "It''s fine, this isn''t your first anymore. When you were unconscious, I gave you lots of kisses and made love to you." No, what do you mean it''s fine? Isn''t that even worse? My mind was too fuzzy to curse at him, but my eyebrows furrowed. I tried to make a coherent thought to voice my displeasure through the haze of lust Luca had induced. When he saw me as such, open-mouthed and panting for him, Luca hummed and wiped off the saliva that had dribbled down to my chin. A beautifully wicked grin curled at his lips at my confusion. ¡°I sucked your virgin cock until you came for me, Zagan.¡± His lips against my ear reminded me of the feeling of him inside. ¡°It couldn''t become hard because your mana had depleted, you were dying Zagan. But seeing you twist around in pleasure was extremely cute. Nn... look, after all that it still isn''t hard. It can''t even ejaculate as your body is still too weak. Well, after all, you are a virgin. Your fingertips have gotten a lot warmer though." One naughty hand reached down from holding my chin and trailed its way down to my neglected cock. After rough fingers lightly stroked me, his other hand found my own. Then he kissed my fingertips. He gripped my hand firmly as he entwined our fingers as if I was precious. His gentle mannerisms and his sweet and soft smile seemed princely, yet the words he spouted were like those of an eroge protagonist. No, he really is the hero of an eroge, but when a man as handsome as him says such obscene words, you don''t know how to react. As I stared at him in loss, he gave a small laugh. "It''s fine. Stop thinking. I''ll still come inside you, Zagan. I''ll do lots of lewd things till your body can have a proper erection." His eyes pinned me as he aligned his hips with mine. Head lowered, he kissed my lips and once again began to move his cock that he had slid inside. When he teased my hole, no matter what thoughts crossed my mind, I could do nothing but lose myself in the pleasure and moan. I trembled in his embrace. After that, Luca''s hot length pushed inside me over and over, his pace fast and rough. I found myself wrapping my arms around his broad shoulders, gasping my moans of mindless pleasure into his ear, and pushing myself into him to meet each one of his delicious thrusts. I felt helplessly good, and was in a state where I felt I would cum all at once but was not able to. When he finally ejaculated inside, his light mana once again raced through me as my spine formed a perfect arch. My mouth gaped and my soul soared from the pleasure. "Aah, Hi...ah----?! " "Hah...ah...Zagan...ngh." "...Auuu...again, light, in...side..." He squeezed my hips harder as I continued to moan for him. ¡°Again¡­ Luca... inside, lots..." "Yes, good boy. You did well, drinking up my seed, Zagan. Your mana has now been recovered by me. See that? Your virgin cock also has an erection, and it''s leaking precome. Oh, look, it''s smaller than mine, and it''s cute and pretty in pink." "Nn...nna...ah..." "Ahh, after being pounded by my mana, yours is now flowing out. Countless tiny black hearts are flying around you. They are saying that you love being lewd with me Zagan." "Ah, ahn...that- that is...!" His hand found it¡¯s way from my hips to my throat. His fingers rubbed circles as he sighed more naughty things into my ear. "Am I wrong? But is Zagan''s ass now a pussy for my exclusive use? I took your virginity, buried myself inside you, and it''s already taken my shape. Nngh, it''s squeezing me tight. Fufu, doesn''t it want me more?" "Fua...ah, ahn...hn, Luca...s-sto.... ah, ah, ah!" "Zagan, you''re cute. More and more, I''ll tease you to your heart''s content. To the point that you''ll no longer be able to bear to stay alone without me, without my touch. I''ll satisfy you until you can not live without me. After all, your body already craves only me for its release."

CH 6 ¡°Zagan, I love you. I love you, a lot more than you think.¡± Countless kisses rained down on me. Not just on my lips, but also on my cheeks and the corners of my eyes. He patted my head, brushed up my bangs, and grazed his lips across my bare forehead. As I silently accepted it all, he opened the front of his, as well as my bathrobe. He slipped his hand inside the robe and trailed it across my chest. His hand reached my hips and travelled along my sides. We embraced tightly, our bare skin glued to one another. ¡°Doesn''t it feel great to touch one another?¡± Certainly, it felt great. When I was wrapped up by Luca, it felt warm, fluffy and comfortable. It felt as if I was being embraced by the light. But it was embarrassing to nod honestly, and I also felt annoyed at the prospect of it only served to make him happier, so I simply averted my eyes and kept my mouth shut. In the end, he did smile happily though. ¡°An embarrassed Zagan is cute too.¡± ¡°...Is your eyesight damaged or what? Go drink some high-grade potions.¡± I don''t think a high-grade potion will be enough to cure his eyesight though. Perhaps he already knew of it, as Luca''s throat quivered from laughter. ¡°Even your dishonest side is cute. I really do love you.¡± He kissed my nape, and when I stirred, he touched between my legs. Next, he pushed me down, and slowly rubbed his penis there. It felt so good that my waist started to tremble. ¡°Uh...hn! Fu...uuh!¡± ¡°Ha...ah, hn...Zagan''s dick is hard.¡± ¡°Ugh... yours has been... like that... since the bath!¡± ¡°Yeah. It can''t be helped, I felt excited just at the thought of doing lewd things with Zagan.¡° Somebody should really do something about this man - saying such embarrassing things without a hint of embarrassment. Also, don''t whisper into my ears, it makes shivers run down my spine. Even as I trembled, he stroked my glans and prodded my urethra that sputtered. When my waist arched from the stimulation, he kissed my temple, as if to soothe me. Even while he played with my penis, Luca lifted my whole body. My legs were opened wide, and he sat in between them. Stuck in a situation of my penis, that had grown hard from just a slight touch, just from being observed, I felt like I was being boiled alive. He had already seen it the last time, but my memories that time were hazy due to being swept away by the pleasure, so I didn''t think that much about it. But right now, it was not good. My head was absolutely clear, and I couldn''t help but feel embarrassed. But when I reflexively tried to hide, my hands were pushed away. ¡°That''s no good Zagan. Don''t hide. Show me your everything.¡± ¡°..., ...uh! I''m telling you, do something about that too-good-to-be-true face and those pretentious lines of yours. For some reason my heart was beating loudly, my body trembled, my thoughts were chaotic and going round in circles, and all resistance seemed to leave me. With both my hands in his grasp, he looked at my erect penis intently. Perhaps I was once again overwhelmed by embarrassment, for my face felt hot. Tears seemed to blur my sight. Just what was wrong with me? Ever since Luca confessed to me, I''ve been feeling strange. ¡°Your trembling is cute too. I want to keep teasing you like this, but you''ll have to wait for a little while. Let us prepare this first.¡± By this, he meant my asshole that he touched. Moreover, he spread something wet on it. Warm mana spread in me. Was this perhaps, Luca''s precum? Su-Such a thing, won''t it go soft pretty soon? ¡°Uhn...uh, hn...fu.¡± With wet smacking sounds, he slowly eased me into it and then inserted one finger inside. The sensation of my hole being slowly stretched felt sensational, and my waist sprang up multiple times. When he slowly stirred my insides, I could feel my walls slowly clamp up around his finger, trying to suck in Luca''s precum. He brushed against my prostate, and I felt something coil inside me as my waist trembled. ¡°Ah, uhn...uhhhn! uh...urk!¡± Even while he played with my insides, he caressed my whole body in places. He fondled my pecs, pinched one nipple and teased it, and licked my other nipple. He rolled his tongue over it, strongly sucking it, which made a throbbing sensation wash over my body. When he kissed on top of my heart, my heart clenched in pain, and tears pooled in my eyes for some reason. What on earth was this heartache? ¡°...! Fu...hn, ngh, uh!¡± ¡°Nn...Zagan? Are you perhaps holding back your voice? ¡± I nodded. Of course, I would. Nobody wants to hear a man moan. Even I found my gasps embarrassing. That''s why, to make sure my voice didn''t leak out, I covered my mouth and grit my teeth. When I did that, I wondered what went on in his head, as Luca lifted his head and stroked the back of my hand that was covering my mouth. The stimulation made me tremble and lose all my strength. He then took my hand and kissed my fingertips. ¡°I want to hear Zagan''s aroused voice. That''s why you don''t need to hold back.¡± His gentle blue eyes were right in front of me. If you coaxed a person like that, anyone would feel bad not to listen to him. I''d end up thinking, even if I let Luca listen to it a bit, he won''t feel disgusted. But still, I am a man. ...And because I am a man, I don''t know how to respond to Luca''s confession. As I was confused, a soft kiss fell on my lips. And then, another. The soft sensation made me relax the slightest bit. And at that moment, he strongly pushed against my prostate gland. ¡°Hyah!? Ah...ahn...ah...! ¡± My body trembled and my spine arched. A voice escaped my lips. I tried to stifle it in a fluster, It''s embarrassing, it''s embarrassing. Tears welled up in my eyes. However, Luca smiled happily. ¡°Ahh, how cute. Zagan''s crying voice was extremely cute. I felt like I''m gonna come just from that.¡± ¡°Fuaah...ahn! Ngh...ah, ah!¡± The number of fingers that stirred my insides increased to two, and they once again pressed against my prostate. Since he had played with it for a while, I felt like I was about to come. But I don''t want to come from the ass, and what''s more, simply from his fingers. While I desperately tried to suppress the pleasure that seemed like it would overwhelm me, Luca''s head went down on my crotch. His lips slowly opened as he gently approached my penis that dripped nectar. My gaze was drawn to his figure which made me unable to peel my eyes off him. The occasional glimpses of his tongue, and his hot breath that fell on the tip of my organ. As this bewitching sight, a silent gasp escaped my lips. ¡°...ah......hn...ah!¡± His tongue brushed against my tip. My hips trembled just from that. A sigh escaped me at the soft sensation of my tip being sucked. It felt extremely good. He licked my shaft too. When he ran along my frenulum, pleasure rose up inside me in waves. He held my penis in his mouth as if to hide it all from the outside world. The warmth and moist sensation made my waist tremble. ¡°Ahnn...hah, ah...ahn, aaah, aah...ah!¡± He had been massaging my prostate for a while now, and a strong sense of pleasure burst forth from my insides. As if my body knew I was about to come, my breath grew ragged, and I started to tremble all over. The pent up pleasure made my whole body tense up. And as if to match that, he stroked my penis hard and teased its tip with his tongue. ¡°Hi-, ah...ahnnn...uh! ¡± The pleasure rose within me in a flash and then burst out. My body stiffened and my semen rushed out. The release felt extremely good. But since I had ejaculated in Luca''s mouth, I could hear him gulp it down, and he sucked even harder as if hoping to drink more. ¡°Hya, ah, ah...It w-wont come. It won''t come...anymore.¡± When I pushed away his head with shaking hands, his mouth obediently let go. I was relieved. He grabbed my limp penis and kissed it. Since his finger was still in my ass, the aftertaste of the pleasure still lingered. ¡°You climaxed wonderfully. Hehe, Zagan''s cock is truly cute. Your semen is delicious too. And your insides too, are tightening around my fingers, sucking them in. It''s begging me to fuck you with my penis.¡± ¡°Fua...Tha...t, is...¡± He pulled out his fingers from my insides, and my rim tightened, sputtering. My legs were immediately grabbed, and Luca aimed for my loosened hole, which seemed to have melted, with his organ. Luca''s penis that I had seen in the bath. There was no way something that big would fit in my ass. I''ll split in two! Whether it fit last time or not had nothing to do with this! Ah, ah, this is bad, it''s coming in! ¡°Ahh...aa, ah, Luca, ...Ah, ah, hi, ahn!¡± It slowly filled my insides, and the narrow space was forced to take Luca''s shape. His precum burst inside me and light mana spread throughout my body. I was assaulted by a soft and comfortable feeling which sent tingles down my spine. I could see stars in my vision. It feels so good, it feels so good. With a swift stroke, he was deep inside me, and from my ass to deep into my waist, I was filled with Luca. His organ throbbed inside me - his hot and big penis. Just the thought of his organ, buried inside me, made me tighten up and I felt like I was going to orgasm a second time. ¡°Ahnnn, ah...fuaaa, ah, ah?¡± ¡°Hah...ah...Zagan''s insides are squeezing me tight. It''s so hot, it feels crazy good.¡° ¡°Hya...ah, ah, ah, hn...!?¡± ¡°Ahh, you''re already bewitched. Fufu, even though Zagan pretended to resist so much, you melted into a puddle the moment I entered you. It really is so cute. Haah, it''s no doubt because both our mana compatibility and physical compatibility is perfect.¡± I couldn''t hear what he said clearly. I simply felt my chest tighten once again as I saw, through my blurred vision, his eyes narrowing in pleasure, his cheeks dyed crimson, and his hot and rough breath. Luca felt aroused, from my body. And that too...that too, to this point. As he grabbed my waist, he pulled out his penis. And then, he once again entered that narrow space and buried his cock deep inside. The sensation of it rubbing against my walls was extremely pleasurable. My extremely sensitive prostate gland was stimulated by those tiny movements of his. ¡°Fuaaa, ah, ah...hn, Luca, ah...hah.¡± ¡°Ngh, amazing... Zagan''s insides are twitching like crazy.¡± ¡°Fuaa, ah, ahn--...ah, ah, ah!¡± His movements gradually grew more vigorous and he pounded me multiple times, which made squelching sounds. I can''t wait to have him touch every corner of my insides. It felt extremely good to have him slowly push deep inside, the two of us entwined in my belly. ¡°Ngaaah, ah, ahn...ahn!¡± ¡°Hah, Zagan...hn, does it, feel good? ¡± ¡°Ah, fweel...sh...good... ah, ahn?¡± ¡°Uh...yeah, it feels good, doesn''t it? I also, feel, really good.¡± Luca covered me. His arms wrapped around my back as he embraced me. He gently kissed the tear-stained corners of my eyes. When I clung to his neck, he lovingly whispered a name in my ears. Zagan. Perhaps it had become easier for him to move, for his rhythm once again grew intense. Each time he pushed in deep, pleasure washed over my whole body. My back arched, my waist trembled, and I moved by my own volition to further stir my insides. It feels good. It feels really good to be held tight and to have my body filled with Luca''s hot, hard mass. ¡°Ah, ah, Lyuka...I''m...cumming...ah, ah ?¡± [efn_note](TL: Not a typo, he speaks slurred)[/efn_note] Maybe it was because I said I was cumming, but Luca seemed to pound me harder and deeper. He rubbed against my walls and hole with renewed vigour, and my body trembled. I moved my hips in an attempt to escape. Yet he thrust deep in and even entered my colon. ¡°Ah...! ah...hn, ahhhh----?! ¡± Like an electric current, the pleasure shot straight through my head. It felt good, it felt so good that I tightened around his hot, throbbing penis. At the same time, Luca, who hugged me, let out a moan near my ear. ¡°Ha, ah...ah, guh...uh! ¡± A large amount of cloudy fluid spurted out. My whole body shook. It''s hot. Flashes of light seemed to spread through my body. Ah, ah, not good. This is not good. It feels... strange. ¡°Hi, uh-------??! ------~~...??!! I''m cumming. I''m cumming again. It felt good. It felt so good that my back stiffened into an arch. I tightened around his length, able to feel the true size of his penis very well, unable to descend from the heights of pleasure. Tears rolled down my eyes, drop by drop. I felt like neither my mind nor my body belonged to me any more. I feel strange. Luca, Luca, help me, Luca! ¡°Hn...¨D¨D?, Uhh--...! Hi-Hic...? Hi-¡± ¡°Uh...Zagan, it''s fine. It''s fine, so will you relax your body little by little. ¡± He stroked my waist and lightly patted my back. He kissed my throat, bobbing up and down, and comforted me. ¡°I''m sorry, Zagan. If I put in so much mana when you are at full capacity, a lot will be pushed out after all. You even let out such a large heart, you must have felt it a lot, it must have been tough. ¡°Uh, uuuh...ughh--...!¡± Urged by Luca''s hands, my body somehow relaxed. The penis buried deep in me, slipped out easily. The sense of oppression was gone, and I felt considerably more at ease. However, my whole body had gone numb from pleasure, and I couldn''t muster any strength. With the slightest movements, my insides made an obscene squelch. As I lay on my side, panting, I was softly hugged and Luca gently combed up the bangs that stuck to my forehead due to sweat. He lapped my tears that fell, drop by drop, and kissed me. Gentle and sweet kisses. I could do nothing but pathetically blow my nose. After a while, I slowly started feeling sleepy. It was the fault of the soft bed and Luca''s warmth. As I dozed off, he seemed to notice my drowsiness and softly called out to me. ¡°Good Night, Zagan. Sweet dreams.¡± Urged by his gentle whispers, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

CH 13 He patted my back and gently calmed me down, which only made tears fall down my face even more. I sighed deeply and blew my nose. As I did that, his lips gently kissed the corner of my eyes and he peered into my face. ¡°Your eyes sure have turned red.¡± ¡°...They were red to begin with.¡± ¡°Pfft, that is true. They''re so beautiful, my favourite eyes.¡± I was looking back at Luca, who was smiling happily, when he touched his nose to mine and then kissed me. It started with fleeting touches, that then grew deeper and deeper as our lips continued to meet over and over. Before I knew it, my tears had stopped. When I opened my mouth to let out a big sigh, he chuckled, perhaps because he felt from that sigh that I had calmed down. And then, his lips once again touched mine. His tongue invaded my mouth, thrusting deep enough to leave no gaps, and licking the tip of my own tongue. The sensation made shivers run down my spine. He slowly traced the underside of my tongue, sucked it, and then continued to thoroughly explore the inside of my mouth. The wet smooching sounds caused by our sloppy kisses drowned out the sounds of the rain. ¡°Uhn...ngh...mhm...pah.¡± ¡°Hah! ...Hnng....hah¡± I parted my lips as he gently nibbled on my lower lip. When I moaned throatily, he peered at my face and wiped off the saliva that had dribbled down my chin. ¡°Since we can''t go anywhere today, let''s do lots of lewd stuff. I''ll let you know how much I love you with my body.¡± ¡°......Got it.¡± When I nodded, his eyes widened and he blinked in surprise. Then he hugged me tightly. ¡°Zagan, you''re so cute when you¡¯re meek and honest!¡± ¡°You''re heavy, go away.¡± ¡°You''re as mean as always. But even that part of you is cute. I love you, Zagan.¡± ¡°......I see.¡± It wasn¡¯t that I didn¡¯t puzzle over this man, who kept proclaiming his love for me as if it were second nature to him. But I was also happy to hear it, so I accepted it silently. Luca lay down beside me and hugged me from behind. My back pressed tightly against him, and I could feel his warmth as he pinched both my nipples. He gently and relentlessly tugged at and rolled my nubs, causing me to let out a muffled moan. ¡°Fu...hn..., ah, a-fu¡± ¡°I see that your nipples have grown larger than before. They''ve also become more sensitive. How cute. But I still want to make them plumper.¡± As he continued to play with them, he pressed his lips to the nape of my neck and started sucking and licking on it. At first, it was just a growing ache within me. But soon the pleasure built up even more, and my body was trembling in ecstasy. Before I knew it, my penis was fully erect. A feverish heat seemed to gather at my waist, making me writhe. Wasn¡¯t it strange that your nipples could make you feel this good? ¡°Ah, ngh... Luca, there, ah...uh....¡± ¡°Do you feel like you will cum just from having your nipples stimulated? If you wanna cum, there¡¯s no need to hold back.¡± ¡°Ngh..., no, not there... I can''t come...ah!¡± ¡°You want me to touch your virgin dick?¡± I nodded at his soft voice. I thought it would help me get rid of the feverish heat that was burning up inside me. But for some reason, Luca got up. ¡°Fua...wh...y...? ¡± ¡°Shall we cum together first?¡± He gently whispered this as he flipped my body face-down. Additionally, he propped up a cushion, a blanket and a towel below my stomach. As I was forced into a position that raised my butt up, heat rushed to my head. This was quite embarrassing. And since I had never been penetrated from behind before, I felt anxious as I didn''t know what he was going to do to me. I nervously turned my head and looked at Luca, and saw him settle in between my legs. He stroked my butt and then spread the cheeks apart. I felt a wet sensation on my anus. ...Huh? ¡°...Ah, Luca? Don''t tell me...¡± ¡°Yeah. Didn''t I tell you before, that I''ll lick you lots? That''s why.¡± ¡°No...but. I-It''s dirty!¡± ¡°You always clean it with your life magic, don''t you? Besides, Zagan''s ass is really cute.¡± He buried his face in my buttocks, and I felt his tongue gently tracing on my hole. I heard him gasp in satisfaction. The lukewarm sensation wasn¡¯t uncomfortable, but it was embarrassing. Too embarrassing. This was, this was¡ª. After licking the rim, he teased the puckered hole with his tongue. As his saliva went in little by little, it slowly started to loosen up. ¡°Ah...ya, yau...Luca... Ah, ...Fuaa.¡± I could sense a faint amount of mana from Luca''s saliva. It felt good, and my ass started twitching, wishing for it to reach deeper within. When I thought about how Luca was watching me react like this, I felt so much shame that I wanted to squirm. It was a humiliating thought for a man, but I wished to be touched more. ¡°Ngh, ngh ... ah, no...way...ah!¡± Just as I was feeling it, he pushed his tongue into my hole. My waist trembled at the sensation of this foreign object probing me. I tried to escape, but each time I was licked, I lost my strength and ended up just accepting his tongue while rocking my hips. He moved to stretch out my hole, inserting his tongue and relentlessly digging in. I gasped in pleasure. My drool and tears mixed as they fell. Precum continued to leak from my penis. I was persistently seduced. Gently, softly, slowly. Sweetly enough to melt me into a puddle. ¡°Ahn...hn, Luca...sto-, no more...¡± ¡°Ngh... feels good, doesn''t it? I''m also feeling really horny and aroused to take you. Haah, Zagan¡¯s ass is gasping so hungrily, it¡¯s so cute. It''s begging me to put my penis in quickly.¡± ¡°Uhn... don''t, say...that. ...It''s...embarrassing...¡± ¡°Yeah. Zagan, you look so cute as you rock your hips in pleasure, yet act so shy.¡± It was no good; no matter what he said, it just made me more embarrassed. My face felt like it was burning up. ...But oddly, my heart felt satisfied. He grabbed my waist and I felt a hot object pointed at my thoroughly licked hole. It was Luca''s penis. As I imagined it, my hole responded unconsciously and opened up wider. ¡°Zagan, you''re cute.¡± ¡°S-Shut, up... Ahn, hn, ah...ahh!¡± Slowly, little by little, he buried his penis inside me, spreading my hole and the walls inside. It felt hot. I didn¡¯t know if it was from the mana in Luca''s precum, or from the heat of his penis, or perhaps from the pleasure I was feeling, but a feverish heat started to simmer in the pit of my stomach. It was huge, as always. I couldn''t stop shivering from the sensation of having an unknown place that even I could not touch, exposed and pounded. Th-This felt so good. ¡°Ngah¡ª, ah¡ª...ah, fuahh¡ª...!¡± ¡°Hah, I only licked you, and yet you¡¯ve already become so lustful. I''m already touching you right up to your colon. Zagan''s insides have already adapted to my shape. I''m so happy.¡± ¡°Fua...ah, ahn, ngh...?¡± ¡°Ngh, it''s twitching like crazy and sucking me in. Don''t tell me, you came from just me putting it in from behind? I can see lots of tiny hearts popping up.¡± I didn¡¯t understand what he was saying. All I knew was that it felt so good that I could see stars in my vision and that my body was twitching from the pleasure. With Luca buried inside me, my hole tightened on him as if it had a mind of its own. I felt a tremendous rush of pleasure as my insides squirmed to take in his mana. I felt giddy, and didn''t know if I had come or not. As I trembled mindlessly, Luca touched my penis. ¡°Yeah, you came. I see, Zagan came just from me fucking you from the back. Maybe it¡¯s because last time, I deeply thrust inside you lots. Fufu. You¡¯re usually so strong, so cold and prim. Always rejecting people. And yet now, your body has become so lewd.¡± ¡°Fuu...uh-uhn--...uhn, ...!¡± Large teardrops rolled down my eyes. Maybe I was feeling a bit sad. Even though it was Luca who had turned my body like this, when he spoke so disparagingly about it, I didn''t know what to do. But when I sniffled, I felt Luca''s silky hair brush against my shoulder. He gently covered me with his body, from my back to my buttocks, and held me close. I felt his gentle warmth and let out a sigh of relief. ¡°I''m sorry for being so mean to you. But from now on, when you are in pain or feeling sad, don''t be afraid to cry or tell me. Don''t reject me after forcing yourself to endure so much... Please, I beg of you.¡± Now that he mentioned it, did I perhaps hurt Luca a lot? I always had my hands full, just trying to control my own emotions. But perhaps, in my rejection, I had upset Luca just as much, if not more. I recalled how he said before that if I ignored him, he would die from the pain. ¡°......Ngh. I''m sorry.¡± When I apologized sincerely, he tenderly rubbed his forehead against my shoulder. Feeling indulgent, I patted his head. Thanks to having his penis still buried within me, my fingers were trembling and I couldn''t help but tighten up my insides even more. The creeping pleasure continued to build within me, and I rocked my waist against him despite myself. Then Luca started thrusting inside me too. My body trembled in ecstasy. ¡°Hah...also. Uhm...ngh... sorry for coming before. Even though we promised to cum together...fua.¡± ¡°...You don''t need to apologise for that. I''m really happy that you came just from me entering you from behind. It made me realise that Zagan is properly accepting me. That''s why, let''s cum together now.¡± ¡°Ngh. Ah...ah! ngh! ...Ah?¡± When I nodded, he repeatedly thrust in me, deeply rubbing against my colon. It was as if he was begging me to let him go in deeper. But if he went in so deep, I might become strange and be unable to do anything except to gasp in pleasure. So, I had to endure as much as I could. But in the back of my mind, I wanted him to penetrate me that deeply. I wanted to feel Luca even more, and I wanted Luca to feel even more as well. As he steadily thrust against my colon, I felt his glans dig in just a little deeper and this sent shivers down my spine. I couldn''t help but stiffen up. But he didn''t go any deeper. Luca kissed my back and peeled himself off my upper body. While his weight on me was gone, he reached out and grabbed my waist again instead. His penis, which had been deeply embedded in me, slipped out. That sensation alone, of feeling my walls and my hole totally and completely stroked, aroused me even more. After he pulled out until just up to the rim, he stayed there for a bit. He waited until my insides once again tightened up at the loss of stimulation, and then once again, he thrust in. He stopped until he was barely touching my prostate and then started moving bit by bit, inching back and forth in small increments. ¡°T-There, ah...! Ah, ahn¡­ fuaa.¡± ¡°This place feels good too, doesn''t it? Fufu, you''re tightening up like crazy. Ahh, I can''t hold back any more. I''m going all in.¡± ¡°Hi, hii...ngh, ah...ah!? Aun, ngh¡ª!?¡± His penis was thrusting in deeply once more, lightly pulling in and out, and grinding against my colon. Perhaps it wasn''t able to enter in as deeply earlier due to how we were positioned? Ahh, it felt so good. It felt so good to be penetrated so thoroughly by Luca. It felt irresistibly amazing to be penetrated by his big, hot penis. My back trembled greatly in satisfaction. The waves of pleasure that were rushing through my body were making my head spin. ¡°Ahn, ah...uhn, Lyuka, ...ahh! Ngh!¡± ¡°Ngh, hah...! Ngh, ngh...!¡± He grabbed my ass and violently pounded into me, slamming his hips forcefully against mine. My whole body shuddered as if it had been broken by his increasingly fast movements. It felt so good, so good. I felt him do a big, deep thrust inside me and then he pulled out. And then he thrust in once more, and started pounding me again, harder. Over and over. Ahh, I can''t, I can''t take it anymore! ¡°Ah, ...ah, uhn, fua, ahhhh?¡± ¡°...Zagan, ah, I-I''m gonna cum... I''m cumming...¡ª!¡± ¡± I felt Luca''s penis twitch inside as he released his seed deep in me. It was hot. As Luca''s seed surged inside me, it transformed into mana and burst inside me. Ahhh, it felt amazing. I also came. ¡°Ah, uhn¡ª...?! Ah¡ª~Ahnn?!¡± At that moment, my mind blanked out. I mindlessly tightened against his penis and continued to cum. It was so good. It felt so amazing that it was almost weird. Ah. Ah. ¡°Fuaa...ya, yau...?¡± ¡°Hah, that felt...amazing. ...Zagan, are you alright? ¡± ¡°Ngh...Luca...inside, came...lots...¡± ¡°Yeah. You''re filled with my seed, right? It feels good, doesn''t it?¡± He grabbed my arms and lifted me up. And just like that, he made me sit on his lap. This position was no good. I couldn¡¯t move at all as Luca''s penis was filling me up so snugly. On top of that, he started licking my earlobes and stroking my lower abdomen at the point where he was buried. At the soft stimulus, I became lightheaded and my body felt languid. ¡°Fua...Lyuka...feels, good...?¡± ¡°Zagan is really the best... Both your body and mana are telling me that you love me so much. Ngh, you''re still squeezing me so tightly. I''m going to give you a lot more of my seed deep inside.¡± ¡°Ngh...lots...more.¡± ¡°Pfft. It''s cute when you become honest after I cum inside too, Zagan. I love you.¡± ¡°Ah, ah...nghhh...fua...¡± ¡°Hey, Zagan. ...You changed my world. Your eyes. Their honest and beautiful red color, instantly brought life to my world. I used to think that life had lost meaning, but you gave me hope. That''s why, I''ll wait for you, as long as you want me to. ¡ª...My one and only Zagan.¡± I wonder how long I held his penis inside my ass. I could only vaguely remember myself swaying at its mercy, trembling and panting in the throes of pleasure. I was wet and sticky everywhere. Beads of sweat had formed here-and-there, and my face too had grown stiff from all the dried up tears and drool. My stomach and penis too, were all completely soiled with semen. My hole, which Luca had completely ravaged, had so much semen inside it that I was worried that the liquid would leak out if I didn''t keep my butt clenched at all times. Nobody ejaculated this much normally, right? As expected of an eroge protagonist. ¡°Zagan, are you alright?¡± ¡°...There''s no way...I''m alright!¡± My waist felt so sore that I couldn''t move, so I limply answered him from the mattress. My voice was hoarse, and I couldn''t open my eyes much, probably because I had uncontrollably spilled a lot of tears. Luca wiped my soiled parts until they were clean. From my head to my neck, to my chest, armpits and stomach, and even my penis and butt. I was too tired to try and clean myself with magic, so I was grateful. No, it was Luca''s fault that I was like this in the first place though. After he thoroughly wiped down my whole body, he started stroking my waist and buttocks. The warmth of his palms caused me to sigh out in comfort. ¡°Pfft. I''m so happy that Zagan''s body is being infused by my mana, and that his tummy is filled with my seed. It''ll transform into Zagan''s mana in less than a day, but still, it makes me happy. It¡¯s as if Zagan has become mine. ...If I let out a lot more, do you think you¡¯ll get pregnant? ¡± ¡°No...that''s...impossible. I''m not a woman.¡± Don''t say such scary things out of the blue. I''d be so surprised. I don''t want to get pregnant ever, so don''t go making medicine for that, okay? ¡°Is it really impossible? I''ll take full responsibility, you know?¡± ¡°What are you saying, you¡¯ll take full responsibility? You and I, we''re both men.¡± ¡°Hm? Huh? ...Uhm, two men can get married?¡± ¡°........." What...did he just say...? No, come to think of it, Bennett was a femboy and yet they had a wedding in the end. I just remembered it at that moment. I had totally forgotten that she was biologically male to begin with. Because the last time I met her, we had exchanged just a few words, but she looked completely like a woman. Sigh, what was the point of observing people in the city? The only saving grace was that I didn¡¯t have to ask Luca any more questions. Thank goodness that I could get by without asking him any weird questions. However, I see. It was fine even if I''m together with Luca. ...I see. I guess that made me happy? Maybe? Perhaps because I had grown silent, Luca started lightly touching my hole. I squirmed in reaction to that, and it felt like his semen would leak out. ¡°...Hey! Why are you touching there!? Wait, don''t breathe on that spot!¡± ¡°No, I''m trying to hurry up and impregnate you. That way, you won''t be able to leave me. Ahh, Zagan''s ass has gotten so much plumper compared to the first time. It''s gaping wide open and inviting me. How cute.¡± ¡°That''s because... you''re too big and you were in me for such a long time.¡± ¡°Huh? Why are you saying something that''ll arouse me? Do you want to be fucked?¡± ¡°What-, it''s impossible today. The rain has already grown weak, and it''s the ideal time to go to the nearest guild, hey-...¡± In the end, we didn¡¯t reach the nearest village until it was already after dusk.

CH 16 ¡°W-Wait a little, Luca. C-Ca-Calm down.¡± ¡°I am calm.¡± ¡°Uwa, wah...! ¡± The tentacles rapidly coiled around my arms, legs and waist. Panicking at the unexpected turn of events, I thrashed in fruitless attempts to get myself free. But it was for naught and, unable to resist, my body was wrapped tight and lifted up by the tentacles. The thick ropes of light carried me swiftly from Luca''s side to the sea. If the tentacles loosened even a little, I would fall into the sea. However, each and every one of them was precisely condensed out of mana, and they didn''t seem like they would wear out and disappear anytime soon. If anything, the strength gave me a sense of stability. ...Amazing. Looking at Luca, all of his tentacles seemed to come out from underneath his rolled-up left sleeve. I wondered briefly if it was because he carries his sword in his right arm. It seemed he couldn¡¯t get them to appear from anywhere on his body like I could, but still. ¡°Aren''t you improving way too fast?¡± I marvelled, struggling to keep the look of impressed astonishment off my face despite the embarrassing circumstances I found myself in. ¡°It''s only been a month since that time we talked.¡± Luca chuckled low, smirking up at me from his relaxed position at my feet. ¡°I''ve been practicing continuously since the day you taught me.¡± For a moment, he looked like a kid finally getting a chance to show off in front of their crush, trying to play it cool but with a clear undercurrent of desperation for approval. ¡°I''ve been using them all the time, except for when I''m fighting in the dungeon.¡± As Luca spoke, he stared down at a pool of smaller tentacles moving benignly across his right hand. Though I was literally surrounded by the brilliance of his rays, I found myself following his gaze down to the small pool of light in his palm. When he spoke again, it was softly and with an undeniable tenderness. ¡±Be it while I''m riding in the carriage or waiting for you at the guild, from the time I wake up in the morning until the moment I go to bed at night, I have been giving my all.¡± At that, the blond¡¯s eyes suddenly snapped back to me before he finished the thought. ¡°...fantasizing about all the things I can do to Zagan with my tentacles. ¡°Wha-...¡± When his gaze met mine, I felt my cheeks heat up instantly. Wa-Wait a minute, I thought. Right now, both my hands were restrained and my legs were spread apart. If this was an eroge, I was for all intents and purposes, in a position to have all manner of terrifying things done to me. I held out hope that maybe I was wrong. ¡°So-¡± I began, trying desperately to regain my thoughts. ¡°In this situation, you''re going to drop me in the ocean if I don''t tell you what is wrong? ¡± Luca laughed deep and low, and a dark look passed over his face. ¡°No way,¡± he mewled. ¡°I''m going to tease Zagan''s naughty parts and make you cry uncontrollably. If you try to escape, you''ll end up in the ocean, so you''ll just have to be good, okay? ¡± Fuck you, you eroge protagonist bastard...! I glared at him despite myself, but he simply smiled back. The tentacles that were wrapped around my waist slipped underneath my clothes. The sensation of Luca''s warm mana brushing against my bare skin made my whole body tremble. Pushing up my clothes little by little, the tentacles crawled across my chest and stomach, sending ripples of an unfamiliar pleasure down my spine. Even though I writhed under the ticklish sensation, as I expected, I did not fall. A thin tentacle reached out to my nipple and squeezed around it, beginning to tease the bud with its tip. For him to be able to release tentacles of different thicknesses, controlling them independently and maneuvering them so delicately, his control of his mana was perfect. However, I absolutely did not feel like praising him, knowing that he had practiced just to torment me. Also, I wished he''d stop making his tentacles shine. In the dark of the secluded villa shore, the only other lights around were the faintly visible Tanabata lanterns in the distant city proper and the stars in the night sky. Against the contrasting darkness of the vast sea and the paleness of my skin, Luca¡¯s tentacles stood out even more. It was embarrassing. ¡°Ah, ahn...no...Luca, sto-¡± I attempted to protest, knowing there was no use. ¡°I won''t stop, Luca confirmed with a smile as bright as his glowing mana. ¡°Ah, it''s fine if you want to tell me right away what happened that made you so distressed earlier,¡± he teased. It was not the first time he looked like a lion toying with his next meal, but it was a new feeling to be the little mouse trapped firmly in his claws. ¡°But, you see...¡± he clarified, ¡°I will be teasing you until I am satisfied either way.¡± Isn''t that way too harsh?¡¡While I wasn''t going to say it originally, I was hoping for a little compromise. Even as Luca was teasing my nipples, he produced small lights from his right hand. Countless pale lights floated up around me. Thanks to them, I could see Luca''s face a little more clearly than before. This made it a little less dark, which helped the tentacles not stand out as much. But then, the small comfort came with a trade-off: you could now see my whole body as well. ¡°Pfft. Prisoner Zagan,¡± the prince drawled, desire clear in his voice. ¡°You''re so naughty. But it¡¯s not enough. Let''s get a little more naughty.¡± ¡°Sto-, don''t look...ah, wait, not there...n-no!¡± As I protested, I felt the tentacles pull me closer, yet they recoiled from the region at the front of my crotch, where Luca¡¯s hands began unbuttoning my pants. The tentacles tangled and retreated, somehow removing all of my underwear while making sure that I didn¡¯t fall. Of course, I resisted, but I couldn''t help but feel the thin tentacles wrapping around my penis. Uuuh, how unfair. ¡°Even with just your lower half butt-naked, you look so cute.¡± Luca looked up at me and I became aware that he had switched positions so that he was kneeling in front of me, his head at waist level. ¡°Fua, ah...Luca, no...¡± He lifted up both my legs into a position that made my hole clearly visible. To force me into this embarrassing position when we were outside, and that too on a night when the stars shone this bright. It was humiliating and I wanted to run away from the shame, but my hole was twitching. When I averted my gaze, unable to endure, he chuckled. ¡°Zagan, you''re cute.¡± I always felt affronted when he said that. Kneeling there in front of me, Luca looked like an angel fallen to the earth¡ªblond hair forming a soft halo around his flushed, tan cheeks. He was the cute one. Though his words certainly didn¡¯t match the holy appearance. ¡°Don''t worry,¡± he cooed. ¡°I''ll properly loosen your slutty pussy before I let my tentacles deep inside.¡± He pulled me even closer to him than before and brought my anus to his face. He buried his nose in it. All the wild displays of affection Luca had subjected me to publicly and yet I had never felt more embarrassed than at that moment. My whole body writhed in his grasp. ¡°Haa. I can''t get enough of Zagan''s scent.¡± He said, inhaling deeply. ¡°...I''ll lick you lots today as well.¡± ¡°...Ah, ahn...ngh, ahh!¡± I lost the capacity for intelligent speech as his tongue trailed across my body. He licked me over and over and once my hole was drenched in saliva, he inserted it inside me. I couldn''t help but rock my hips at his rhythmic motions. It felt good to get a rimjob. As hard as it was to admit it, the sensation honestly felt so amazing that I was tingling with pleasure. As I closed my eyes tight and focused on the feeling, the tip of his tongue thrust deeper inside. I was still wrapped in tentacles, still deeply embarrassed by the act. But Luca was lost in licking me...huh? ¡°Ah, Luca, ...Sto-Stop...ah, ahnn! ¡± Before I knew to prepare myself, I felt a thin, slippery tentacle enter my urethra. The sensation of a foreign object in my penis and Luca''s mana assaulted me with pleasure that threatened my sanity. My crotch was tingling. It penetrated deep within with one smooth motion, making my whole body twitch. Had it perhaps reached my bladder? The tip of the tentacle gently pushed against my insides. It may have been only a slight stimulation, but an intense pleasure like an electric shock ran through me. My body shook uncontrollably. ¡°Hic...Ta-Take it out Luca...au-ahhhnn...! ¡± ¡°Ngh...No way. Didn''t I tell you I''m going to bully you?¡± Luca sat back on his heels staring down at my illuminated parts, hands firmly gripping and massaging my thighs. The sensation was too much to handle. ¡°No-Not that...ah, ah, ahh?¡± ¡°Pfft. It''s so warm inside Zagan''s dick,¡± he breathed softly, almost to himself. ¡°I don''t know why, but when Zagan squeezes my tentacles, it feels crazy good.¡± He touched a finger lightly to the point where his light entered my body, and I began to twitch. ¡°Ahh, it''s trembling! How cute.¡± I could feel the tentacles poking me inside. Occasionally, he pulled them out completely and then inserted them again, teasing my entire urethra. At the same time, he played with my nipples and even licked my anus. With my top, front, and back all teased, the pleasure built up and I felt like ejaculating. However, with my only way of release blocked, the heat only built up. Each time it pulled out of my narrow channel, scraping my insides, my body trembled. Of course, I had never known that the urethra could feel like this before. I''ve never thought of putting anything in there in the first place. ¡°Hi-Hic...Ah, no, let me cum,¡± I begged, desperation winning against pride. ¡°...Ahh, Luca, plea... Ah, ahhhh! ¡± Thrusting in and out, the tentacles intensely teased me, assaulting me with strong pleasure. A comforting sense of pleasure bubbled forth, and I ended up orgasming. However, since the tentacles blocked my path of release, I couldn''t ejaculate and my cock still felt heavy. Since the tentacles didn''t stop their movements, I dry-orgasmed continuously. It was torturous, and a sob escaped me. Tears were flowing down my face and I couldn''t stop them. I wanna cum. But I couldn''t. I felt overwhelmed, like I would go crazy if this continued. ¡°Hic, uuh, uwaaaah.... No, no more.... Lucaa¡± ¡°Ngh. Okay, I''ll listen to you, can you tell me what happened now? ¡± ¡°Uh...sniffle. ...I can''t...say it...¡± Even if I wanted to, I couldn¡¯t say it. He could never understand. ¡°Yeah, I thought so.¡± Luca¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°You''re stubborn, Zagan. You try to do everything all by yourself.¡± Seeing Luca scrunch up his eyebrows in lament, my heart hurt. But it couldn''t be helped. How could I tell him that I might possibly die?¡¡And even the fact that my opponents would be dragons, was a matter within the game till the very end. While I wasn''t optimistic that it was nothing, looking at my experience so far, there was no need to bother to tell Luca all this vague information that would only make him worry. There was no need to tell him that I could die. ...Because I definitely won''t die. ¡°Well, tell me or not, I''m still not satisfied so I''m going to bully you more.¡± His voice snapped me back to the situation at hand. Hey, you''re letting all this effort come to naught!? I thought. More importantly, I''m already suffering, unable to cum, and you still want to do more to me!? Yet all I could manage to verbalize was... ¡°Ngh...Ah...?¡¡Ah, No...no, ag, ahnnn...mhn?¡± Suddenly I became aware of something slowly entering my ass. Luca¡¯s dick? No, it was shining brightly. I was filled by Luca''s tentacles. When I looked at it properly, I found a considerably thick arm reaching up from below my butt. ¡°Pfft. Since the tentacles are glowing, I can clearly see you hungrily sucking me in.¡± Luca said, huskily. ¡°Zagan''s swollen rim is so lewd and cute.¡± ¡°Ah, hn... Don''t say that. D-Don''t look...at that...¡± ¡°Don''t be shy, Zagan. Haven''t I already seen it many times?¡± That may have been true, but embarrassing things are embarrassing. It didn''t matter how many times we had done it. Perhaps Luca''s mana had stimulated my wall to produce juices, as every time the tentacle thrust in, it made lewd squelching sounds. Spreading my hole open bit by bit, the arm entered deeper than before. The pleasure spread from inside, and I tightened my hole involuntarily, and my body trembled from the onslaught of stimulation. I hadn''t been able to cum for a long time and, as if trying to compensate, my face began spilling a river of tears down my cheeks. ¡°Hyaah, ah, ahn, ...Ngh, hah...ah, ahn... Lucaaa...?¡± ¡°Pfft, my cute Zagan,¡± Luca groaned.¡±I''m going to go in deeper.¡± ¡°Hya...no, that''s impossible!¡± I writhed in a feeble attempt to escape, but no matter what I did, the tentacles wouldn''t come out. If anything, they teased my insides further, as if controlling my movements, making me pant. It felt good, but it was torturous. ¡°Ngh, ...Ah, no...no!¡± ¡°Hm. You''re taking it all in. Seems that you like it. It''s warm and soft, and it''s squeezing me tight that it''s comfortable for me, too. Oh, I think I just entered your colon. My penis could only go this far.¡± Luca placed his hand just above my pelvis, the familiar warmth of his hands in no way diminished by that radiating off of his light. ¡°Since we''ve gone this far, should I go in deeper? It''s fine, it won''t hurt.¡± He smiled beautifully and stroked my abdomen. The gentleness in his voice almost moved me, but I was too far gone. I hadn''t cum for so long that I had become strange, like some wild beast I could not name. And besides going deeper than this was no good. At the very least I wanted him to take out the tentacles and put in his penis. ¡°No, no more...please. It won''t go in, so...ah, uwaah! ¡± He went in deeper. He steadily buried himself inside, assaulting me with waves of intense pleasure. It sent shivers down my spine. My waist was throbbing from deep inside, and a feeling of oppression surged forth from my stomach where I was being patted. Just how deep did he intend to go? ¡°Hau, ...Hic, Hyau...ah, N...No-Nooo!¡± My whole body shook at the sensation of my intestines being violated. If this went on, wouldn''t my stomach rip apart? Although I knew Luca wouldn''t do something like that, each time the tentacles moved even a little, I was overcome with dread. I wanted him to stop. This was too much. ¡°Hic...N...Nwo, hyau.... nyo...!¡± ¡°Fufu, Zagan''s stomach feels warm. How is it?¡± he teased, lightly.¡¡¡±You want me to take it out?¡± ¡°T-Take it out...Please!¡± I begged, frantic. He was clearly unaware of the severity of the overstimulation he was putting me through. ¡°What to do? Crying Zagan is awfully cute so I feel like bullying you more.¡± ¡°Don''t! ...Ah. Ahh...uuuuh¡± This was awful. This was too awful. I couldn''t stand this kind of humiliation. And because I couldn''t cum, I felt like my bladder was becoming distorted. It was too torturous. My throat choked up with sobs and tears pooled in my eyes. I can''t do this anymore, I need to let out the pleasure that''s been building up. ¡°Please, forgive me... I''ll tell you. I''ll tell... everything.¡± ¡°Hmm..." he mused, eyes narrowed and lips pursed as he contemplated my words. ¡°Then, fine. I''ll just take this one out.¡± At my pleading, he slowly withdrew the tentacle from my urethra until it slipped fully out with a squelch. With the mana blocking it no longer there, strength left my body. Phew...that felt good. This comfort was short-lived, however, as the instant the tentacle came out, so too did my semen. Having lost all my vigour, I slumped as cum splashed over my penis, trailing past the rim of my anus and falling to my ass. I was exhausted, but the sensation of the buildup disappearing was unbelievably good. My waist felt like jelly. I was drunk on pleasure. Plop, splat. Regaining a bit of my sanity, I watched the stream of liquid fall straight from my penis into the ocean. My bladder felt relieved. I looked up and remembered my surroundings. I could see the starry sky through my blurry vision¡ªMilky Way. ...Ugh, in the end, it was not just sex but tentacle play too. This was truly a terrible memory to leave behind. ¡°Zagan is extremely cute.¡± Luca laughed, a playfully surprised look on his face. ¡°You let out a wee while making the most bewitched face. Fufu, you''re just like a baby.¡± ¡°Fua...? ...Ah, ah? No...That, ah, ah, don''t look Luca...no, noo!¡± It was only after hearing it aloud that I realised I was urinating and felt my whole body grow hot. It was embarrassing. So embarrassing! I tried using life magic in a fluster to stop the stream, but since the tentacles were still inside me, I was continuously assaulted by pleasure and couldn''t use it well. Furthermore, Luca seemed to have realised that I was trying to do something, and he moved the tentacles faster inside my hole. I arched my back at the feeling of my intestinal walls being stimulated. This resulted in me almost falling on Luca and, when I hurriedly checked on him, he was staring at me with a gleaming expression on his face, making me feel even more ashamed. In any case, at least it wasn''t all that vigorous, so I didn''t let out that much. When I finally finished urinating, I felt a terrible sense of shame, and I cried myself to exhaustion. Even though I didn''t want to cry, I couldn''t stop my tears. I was so embarrassed that I just wanted to disappear somewhere. Further, he even licked my flaccid penis. He took it completely into his mouth, and I heard a gagging sound in his throat. Even though it was filthy with pee and semen, he licked it. The shame from that was the final blow. ¡°Mhm, look, it''s clean now.¡± Luca said, disconnecting from me with a slick pop. He licked his lips and smiled. ¡°Haah, Zagan''s weenie is really cute.¡± ¡°Unh,¡± I moaned and sniffled. ¡°...P-Please, forgive me...I''ll tell you everything. Aah...¡± Through it all, Luca had not budged his tentacles from their place firmly inside my ass. ¡°Hm? You don''t have to say anything though. I can just continue to carry you like this, inserting my tentacles into Zagan''s cute bussy and dick for the rest of your life.¡± ¡°......Huh. ...What...are you...saying.¡± I couldn''t process what he said and the confusion was clear on my face. I assumed he had to be joking, with something as crazy as that, but looking at him told another story. The look on Luca''s face was incredibly serious, and his blue eyes were focused and sharp. As I stared back at him, my brain going in circles, he narrowed his eyes with a suspicious glint to them. ¡°You see, Zagan...¡± Luca stood so that his face was even to mine, and he placed a hand lightly on my cheek. After all that rough, filthy, embarassing sex, he still looked at me like something precious. Like a delicate work of art, labeled ¡°handle with care. ¡°Even though you are quietly letting yourself be held by my tentacles now,¡± the prince continued. ¡±If you wanted to, you could escape any time. The reason you didn''t is because you liked being teased by me. That makes me incredibly happy.¡± On his face was a mixture of emotions¡ªjoy, pride and a dash of sadistic humor all present and accounted for. ¡°That''s why, I''m going to take advantage of you. I''m going to keep pleasuring you so much that you won''t be able to think of anything but me. That way, I won''t have to worry about where you are or what you''re doing, will I? Ahh, it''s alright. I''ll never let you go, even if it breaks your heart.¡± Ahh, I suddenly understood. One of those emotions resting just beneath the surface peeked out and showed that Luca was still really angry. Not just because I''ve been trying to keep everything to myself, but because of all the ways I¡¯d resisted his help and his affections. I continued to meet him in a dead tired state, avoided important questions he asked, and caused him to worry incessantly. It was entirely my fault. ¡°I-I''ll say it. I''ll tell you everything from now on,¡± I promised. And I meant it. ¡°...I''m sorry, Luca.¡± I apologised honestly. Now, all I could do was hope he would forgive me and let me go. If he didn''t do that, I''d have no choice but to cut off all his tentacles. I didn''t want to lose all my senses. At this point I had already decided. I want to be with Luca of my own volition. I did worry that if I cut his tentacles, Luca would misunderstand and be sad, thinking that I was rejecting him. That''s why I wanted him to just forgive me. I sniffled pathetically, tears not yet dry on my face, and stared at him. Luca''s expression relaxed. It was a face of a loving defeat. ¡°You won''t try to do everything by yourself?¡± he asked gently.¡¡¡±You won''t force yourself? ¡± ¡°I won''t. If anything happens, I''ll tell you everything.¡± ¡°...I understand. Then, I forgive you.¡± I felt the tightness in my chest unwind at his words and all the muscles in my body relaxed into the grip of his soft, enveloping light. I don¡¯t know how I looked at that moment, worn out, hair plastered to my forehead with sweat, other fluids dripping down the curves of my most private places. However I looked must have been a sight, though. Because, for the first time that day, Luca finally had the decency to flush. The red tinge to his cheeks and the tips of his ears was endearing enough to almost make me forgive him for putting me in this state to begin with. ¡°I''m also sorry for hurting you,¡± Luca murmured, eyes scanning my soiled body before returning to meet my gaze. ¡°I love you, Zagan.¡± He sat me down on his lap and gently hugged me. I couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh of comfort at the warm embrace. He kissed my cheeks and the corners of my eyes, lapping up my tears. Occasionally, he would grace me with a kiss on the lips as well¡ªfeather-light and fleeting. The fact that he was so gentle with me made me sob even harder, so I pulled myself closer to Luca and cried my heart out. CH 17 Before I knew it, the tentacles inside me were gone. Luca pulled a towel out of the magic bag and wiped my lower body. He then used his tentacles to prop up my body and to put on my underwear and pants. That was it? He wasn''t going to use his penis? N-No, it wasn''t as if I wanted to sleep with him. I could feel enough of Luca''s mana just from his tentacles, and (even though it was painful not being able to cum) it felt good. But having a proper physical connection would have been more satisfying or...ah well, nevermind. Besides, I had only glanced at it for a moment, but I could see that Luca''s penis wasn''t even hard. Was it because he had focused both his attention and mana on moving the tentacles? It was hard to get an erection when you were using mana. After they had helped me put on my pants, the tentacles were still wrapped around me. Maybe they were restraining me because he didn''t want me to escape. But then, I didn''t intend to run away. Once again, I was sitting on his lap, facing him directly. As he gently hugged me, he asked a question. ¡°So, can you tell me what happened? ¡± Well, how should I answer this? I couldn''t spill all the beans. If I told him that I have memories from a previous life and that my current situation was very similar to a game scenario, he would be confused. It would take a considerable amount of time to make him understand everything. As such, I had no choice but to just tell him the facts of the matter. ¡°In the sixth dungeon, I got the star fragment,¡± I began, carefully. ¡°But as soon as I got out of the dungeon, I was surrounded by dark attribute users. They threatened to kill all the people in the city, so I had no choice but to follow them, and there were over a hundred of them.¡± ¡°A hundred?¡± Luca exclaimed, eyes going wide. ¡°A-Are you alright? They didn''t do anything, did they!?¡± ¡°I''m fine. I was almost bound by tentacles but I cut them all down and rendered most of the people immobile with my blood lust.¡± When I answered calmly, Luca let out a long sigh and pressed his forehead against my shoulder. ¡°...I see. I''m glad you''re safe.¡± Just how worried was he? Still, that made me happy. ¡°They asked me to join them.¡± I continued. ¡°If they have the star fragments, they can easily bring down the royal palace. This time, they backed down after I intimidated them, but I''m sure they''ll come prepared next time. To steal the star fragments from me. That''s why I''ve been cooped up in the dungeon, trying to get as strong as I can. ...I''m sorry for making you worry.¡± ¡°Uh-huh, I see. Such a thing happened, huh? Thank you for telling me. It must have been scary to be surrounded by such a large group of people. I''m sorry I wasn¡¯t there by your side.¡± He hugged me tightly and patted my back and head with his warm hands. It was scary, no doubt. The fear of dying wasn¡¯t something that could be easily dispelled. No matter how hard I tried to cheer myself up, I still felt like everything would crumble at a moment''s notice. But after talking to Luca, I really felt like everything was going to be alright. I wonder if it was because Luca wrapped me up in his warmth every time and constantly told me that he loves me. I see. I never knew that not being alone could be this reassuring. ¡°I''m fine, Luca. I''m not weak. I won''t let them steal the star fragments. And besides, if they decide to bring down the royal castle, I will have to stop them as a fellow dark attribute user.¡± ¡°Zagan...You''re truly strong. Your strength in battle is one thing, of course¡ªbut your heart, too, is extraordinarily strong. And that is really cool. You''re so charismatic that I feel like I''m going to swoon.¡± ¡°Pft...I see.¡± ¡°Ah, Zagan smiled. Fufu, so cute.¡± He smiled happily and kissed me on the cheek. I knew it was because I smiled right away, but you shouldn¡¯t call me cute immediately after calling me cool. And you didn¡¯t have to point it out every time. It made me embarrassed. After I accepted a number of kisses, he looked into my eyes again, a satisfied glint in his crystal blue stare. ¡°Hey, Zagan. I''m going to practice more mana manipulation and get stronger. Then, when those people with the dark attribute come, I''ll fight them together with you.¡± ¡°Indeed, your improvement is remarkable. But you never know when that lot will come. Perhaps they will aim for a time when I am completely alone, just like last time.¡± The fact that they had the dark attribute was precisely the reason they didn¡¯t attack me right in the middle of the city. If people with the dark attribute appeared, the crowds in the city would certainly be in chaos, but since there would also be a considerable number of people fighting back, it wouldn''t be possible to steal the star fragments from me. When I moved from city to city, there were so many routes that they wouldn''t know where I was. But I had to pass through the outer gates when entering or exiting the cities so they could lie in wait for me...but that was impossible too. I too had the dark attribute and could easily blend into the darkness at night. Thus, it was meaningless for them to stand guard at the outer gates. The only definite place would be right as I step outside after capturing the dungeon and obtaining the star fragment. Even after I did exit the dungeon with the star fragment, there would be at least a 10 minute gap before the other challengers would come out as well. Besides, nothing was built around the dungeon¡ªdue to the danger of monsters flooding in¡ªand only a few guards were posted. Those people would be killed if they were unlucky. Last time too, that must have been the case. ¡°You''re probably couldn¡¯t go into the dungeon with us, could you?¡± ¡°You''re right. Certainly, fewer people know me here, in comparison to the first city. But the number is not absolutely zero. Besides, my presence would cause stress to your friends.¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Luca admitted. ¡°Especially Miranda. On the other hand, Noel would be overjoyed and would favour Zagan, so that could cause some strain in their relationship too.¡± ¡°Honestly, Luca...I''m used to fighting alone, so when the chances of others getting dragged in are high, it makes it difficult for me to battle. If our lack of proper cooperation delayed our capture of the dungeon, and the dark organization took the star fragments, it would be putting the cart before the horse. ¡°...However, I can''t stop the capture itself. Hmm...¡± I couldn''t think of a good excuse. I wasn¡¯t like I could just say that the will of this world acted based on a game¡¯s scenario. How to dodge the question? ¡°Zagan, do you perhaps want the reward?I wonder what it is you would wish for.¡± ¡°......Ah, ahh.¡± Come to think of it, the one who collected the most star fragments would get a reward from the king. I totally forgot. Although I nodded unknowingly, Luca''s words helped me from having to come up with an excuse. ¡°Would you want to meet your parents? Or do you perhaps wish to end the discrimination against the dark attribute?¡± ¡°You''re... right,¡± I agreed. ¡°I think it would be great if this were a nation with no discrimination.¡± Of course, it would be extremely hard to eliminate discrimination that has taken root over hundreds of years. However, if the king gave the order not to persecute, the people would have no choice but to obey. If this were the result of fulfilling the wish of the one who collected the most star fragments, none will be able to argue against it. Even if I didn''t choose such a method, once we defeated the evil god, it would naturally disappear sooner or later. However, I was determined to definitely live past the end of chapter 9, and I had no intention of letting the evil god''s seal be broken. On the other hand, I didn¡¯t think I needed to see my parents. Just knowing that they were alive and well was enough for me. ¡°That''s why, uhm. I will try to obtain the star fragments with all my strength. In that case, I''ll be all alone as soon as I leave the dungeon no matter what.¡± ¡°Then, can''t you wait for a bit more?¡± ¡°Do you have any ideas?¡± ¡°It''s just a guess, but I think I have one idea on how to make it possible for me to help you. I''ll tell you tomorrow.¡± ¡°...?...I got it.¡± Why couldn''t he tell me right away? The question popped up in my mind, but since he was going to tell me tomorrow anyway, I brushed it off as trivial for the moment. ¡°Anyhow, I am glad I found out the reason why you were so distressed. Let''s do our best from here on out. ...I''ll definitely never let you die.¡± He looked at me very seriously and gently stroked my cheek. ¡ªI''ll never let you die. Those words would surely become a great support for me going forward. ¡°...ahn, ngh... fua, ah...? ¡± Squelch... schlop. It slowly stirred deep deep inside me. A feverish heat surged in my belly, and it felt extremely good. The familiar mana circulated through my whole body, making me feel all light and comfy. And I could feel a warmth enveloping me from behind. It was Luca, hugging me. ¡°Ah...ahn, ...Luca, mhn.¡± ¡°Ngh, ...Zagan, good morning.¡± ¡°...Mhn, ah...ahn.¡± When I looked at Luca behind me, he smiled softly and kissed me on the cheek. When I stared at him in dissatisfaction, he chuckled and then kissed me on the lips too. We were currently in the bedroom of the villa. On top of a large bed with silky bed covers. The soft, off-white colour felt fresh and summery, and it was very comfortable to sleep on. Apparently, the duke''s maids had cleaned up the entire villa and made the beds for the prince''s stay. The sunlight shining through the half-drawn curtains and the morning sea visible through the windows were a sight to behold. After talking with Luca outside last night, I ate dinner in the villa and took a relaxing bath. We then joined our bodies on the bed till I fell asleep. However, I hadn''t slept much lately, and all the fighting had worn me out both physically and mentally. I fell asleep right after he came inside me just one time. Even though I had taken an afternoon nap, perhaps being in Luca''s arms had given me a sense of relief, and I didn''t wake up at all. ¡°I''m sorry, Zagan. But seeing you sleeping so comfortably made me horny. Just let me stay inside you a little longer.¡± ¡°Ah, mhn...I don''t mind. I haven''t had a good night''s sleep in a long time...fua.¡± When I nodded, Luca immediately began thrusting his hips. He thrust inside me over and over, teasing my prostate, making lewd sounds, and the pleasure spread through my body. ¡°Ahh, ah...Luca, ahn, ah, ah, fu!¡± ¡°Ngh, Zagan, ...It feels amazing... hah, uhn, ngh...I''m cumming!¡± ¡°Ah, ah...nnnngh¡ª?¡± As I listened to his sexy voice, I could feel the hot spurts of cum he pumped out hitting deep inside me. Ahh, Luca''s mana felt warm. It felt like fireworks popping inside me and I could not get enough. I was bewitched by the pleasure I received from wrapping around his penis, from the very rim of my anus to deep inside my body; I couldn¡¯t help but twitch and squeeze my walls against his organ. His penis moved slowly as if to coat my intestinal walls with the semen it had shot out. ¡°...Ah, ah...ahn...ah...?¡± ¡°Ngh, Zagan. I love- I really love you.¡± I nodded at his happy whispers. After a while, he once again grew hard inside me and poked at my walls. Before I grabbed the sheets, Luca took my hand and grasped it tightly. Even in the throes of pleasure, I grasped his hand back as he called out my name lovingly. After cumming inside of me another time, he finally pulled out his penis, satisfied. At that moment, his semen leaked out from inside me. ¡°Ha, ah, ngh...Luca...haa...¡± Luca''s juices had collected inside my stomach. Whenever I stirred a little, it made a squelch, and a little more leaked out of my anus. It felt like a large amount. Perhaps he had already cum inside while I was sleeping too. ¡°Thank you Zagan. That felt amazing.¡± ¡°Ngh...I felt really good too. Luca''s mana feels very comfortable.¡± ¡°Fufu, that''s good to hear. I am truly glad I could be here with you today from the moment you opened your eyes.¡± He smiled softly as he spoke. ¡°Happy Birthday, Zagan.¡± Birthday wishes, I see. ¡°...Oh, is it July 8? Ah, it is my birthday.¡± ¡°You were so desperate that you even forgot your birthday, huh.¡± ¡°You could...say that.¡± I was so busy thinking about what I had to do before the end of September that I didn''t care what day it was. Because of that, I ended up dungeon diving way too much though. I see, I thought. So it¡¯s my birthday. It had been a long time since anybody had celebrated my birthday. Luca got up from the bed naked and pulled something out of the bag he had left on the table. A box, neatly wrapped and tied up with a ribbon. He held it out to me. ¡°Here, it''s your birthday present. Take it.¡± ¡°Th...Thank you,¡± I stammered. ¡°Can I open it?¡± ¡°Of course. I really wanted Zagan to have it, no matter what, so I prepared it. Luca climbed up on the bed again, hugged me, and I opened the gift box as he watched from over my shoulder. What lay inside was a magic device. There were two devices that resembled the transceiver technology from my past life. ¡°Is this...a magic communication device? ¡± ¡°Yeah, that''s right. With these two, we can talk even if we¡¯re physically located a certain distance apart. These ones are special, as they can connect us even if we are four cities apart.¡± Luca¡¯s gift was a pair of magic communication devices that required the use of light and wind magic stones (of the exact same size and mana) to be incorporated into a complex circuit. There was a lot of familiar technology involved, but in the end, the mana of the two users had to be channelled and synchronized in order for the devices to be connected. This was something that only upper class nobles could afford. And most only worked within the range of the same city. But four cities? ¡°How did you get such a high performance device? No, I thought communication devices could only be bought in the royal capital in the first place.¡± There were only a handful of engineers who could create communication devices. That was just how difficult it was¡ªor so I had heard. ¡°I said that I¡¯d sent a letter to my brother in the Sixth City last month, right? I also requested Zagan''s birthday present at that time. I said that someone important to me was celebrating their birthday on July 8 and asked him to get these to me in time for my arrival in the 7th City. The Adventurer''s Guild is very convenient, because they can take care of your luggage too. Ahh, of course, the money for it came out of my own pocket. I also asked for this villa in the letter. I have a lot to thank my brother for.¡± ¡°...Your brother sure indulges you.¡± ¡°I wonder. If that''s the case, it''s probably because he feels guilty that I''ve been ordained to collect the star fragments. This journey is also a training for me to protect my brother who will eventually become the king.¡± ¡°...Is that so?¡± It was a setting that hadn''t appeared in the game. In the first place, not much was said about the protagonist''s family or past in the game. ¡°Well, in reality we get along well, and he''s indulgent with all his siblings. I wonder if it''s because we''re seven years apart. My younger sister is nine years younger than him, and my younger brother is 11 years younger.¡± Seven years, I see. Luca was now 21 years old, with a birthday on January 1, which was often used as the default date in games. The crown prince was 28. He was four years older than me, who¡¯d turned 24 today. Four years before my birth¡ªin other words, the year the evil god resurrected. The seven year gap was because Luca''s parents (the then Crown Prince and Crown Princess) were busy rebuilding the capital. By the way, they ascended to the throne only two years ago. ¡°More importantly, with this, I''ll be able to contact you even when we''re far away. I can hear your voice no matter where you are. And, even if Zagan is taken along by those with the dark attribute as soon as you step out of the dungeon, you can tell me that at the flick of a switch.¡± ¡°Oh, so this gift is what you were talking about last night? With this, I will no doubt be able to tell you immediately if something happens to me.¡± ¡°Yeah. That''s why you don''t have to force yourself to do everything alone. You have to tell me. I''ll do my best to become strong. I just don''t want to be waiting apart from you, like a month ago.¡± ¡°...I know. I''ll be counting on you.¡± Whether or not I tell him everything would depend on Luca''s growth. But with this guy, there was no doubt he was going to grow strong in the blink of an eye. With such high mana manipulation abilities, the power of his magic must have also increased considerably. Perhaps I should challenge him to a fight sometime. ¡°Then, shall we pour our mana into them?¡± I nodded, and we both touched one of the devices first. Slowly and carefully, we poured in our mana until the gauge was full. Next, we did the same with the other one. Once we had poured in our mana, I tried flipping the switch. When I did that, the indicator lamp turned bright, and the other communicator started to buzz too, with its indicator blinking on and off. When I flipped the switch again, the light went out, and the one in Luca''s hand also stopped blinking and buzzing. They seemed to be working as intended. I even tried to make a call while I was in close range. I was impressed to hear Luca''s voice coming through the communicator properly. ¡°...Uhm. I''m really grateful. I''m so happy to receive such a wonderful magic device.¡± ¡°Fufu, you''re welcome. It makes me happy too, seeing you this happy.¡± It was the same in the game, where the birthday present was related to a hobby. But I got something special, something much more expensive and valuable than what he would have given to the heroines. Besides, I didn''t think the heroines came to this villa either. Because he said that he had asked his brother in the letter for it...and he hadn''t sent a letter in the game. A place that no one else could intrude, protected by the magic barrier, where the bridge too had a magic circuit inbuilt. The place that made my heart pound with excitement. ...Ahh, that''s right. Right. The moment the idea popped into my head, I grabbed Luca''s hand in great spirits. ¡°Thank you, Luca. With this, I can definitely do something.¡± ¡°Huh? Uhm. What are you talking about? Can you tell me? ¡± I nodded to Luca, who asked me as a faint blush crept up his cheeks.

In the afternoon, Luca went to the adventurer''s guild by himself. He reasoned that the girls would push themselves too hard if he was there. Certainly, working out all afternoon would tire them out. But even if Luca was not around, the girls were still out there doing hand-to-hand combat. After dinner, I practised magic with Cindy and Camilla, who had just returned from the library. Luca had asked me to do this. From what I could see from the living room, Luca''s magic had become considerably stronger. He was really growing rapidly. By the way, the other members were around. Noel was sitting on the sofa, watching me work, while Miranda and Nina were in the dining room, immersed in their hobbies. Perhaps they were getting comfortable being in the same space with me? Bennett was cooking meals for dungeon diving. Luca took a bath and went to bed with me. Of course, I was embraced as he had promised. The next day, we followed the same schedule as the day before. I worked from morning till night, so the magical barrier was pretty much done. However, at night, we were connected for the third day in a row. Mere contact with his penis made my male womb twitch, and I could not stand the excessive pleasure any longer and cried out as I kept cumming. It felt good, but I wished he would go a little easier on me. Day 4 with Luca and the others. I was still concentrating on making the magical barrier. But when I looked up, I saw Nina watching me work, along with Noel. Come to think of it- I felt that Miranda was watching me more and more, too. I was a little puzzled by their change in behaviour, but I did not mind it as soon as I refocused on my work. The problem was the nights. Four days in a row was indeed tough. One''s body would definitely become strange. Just the thought that Luca might be embracing me made my insides throb. ----------------- "Luca... tonight, as expected- let''s not do this." Luca came out of the bath and kissed me as he climbed into the bed. I had already put on my pyjamas and was getting ready to sleep, so I blocked him with a pillow. Thereupon, he scrunched his eyebrows and pouted. "Why? Have you grown to hate me, Zagan?" "No, not at all. It''s just that we''ve been doing it day after day, and I don''t think my body can take it anymore." "You drink potions when your back hurts, right? Besides, I infuse it with my magical energy, so you should recover quickly. That''s why your body is always healthy." "T-That is... Yes, but..." If I were to say that I did not want to be more sensitive than I already was, I would probably incite Luca. But I could not think of any other excuse. Luca hugged me around the waist and put his face on my stomach, staring up at me from below. I could not help but feel guilty when this guy gave me a sad look, and I couldn''t refuse him. "Zagan, I can''t? I want to feel Zagan so much. And I want to show you that I love you. And Zagan, see? Just a little touch here, and it twitches. You want me, don''t you? "N-No...ah...that''s...not..." My anus twitched and contracted just from being stroked, causing me to bite my fingers slightly. It also made my womb tingle. I could not help but feel that my body had long since become weird. With his eyes still on me, Luca raised my body and pulled off my pyjamas. He splayed my legs and reached for his penis. Because of his erection and the fact that he had even spilt some pre-cum, it made a lewd sound when it touched my anus. Luca''s magical energy permeated inside. It was thick and hard and made me want it to be buried deep inside me. "N-No, Luca...move it away...m-my ass is..." "Yes. Zagan''s asspussy is swallowing my nectar with gusto. Fufufu, It''s so adorable. Plus, it''s getting a little more slippery, so I won''t have to finger you to put it in." "No, that... I don''t want...no..." "Are you perhaps embarrassed by the fact that your body is becoming so lewd? That''s why you don''t like it?" "Of course I don''t! And I''m sure Luca wouldn''t like that kind of body either..." Immediately after I said that, Luca buried himself in me. H-How could- "Hiiiyaaaa~?...ahh, ah L-Luca...w-whyy~?" "Haa, amazing. I''m already more than halfway in. It feels so good, having it squeezing so tightly. Fufu, Zagan is a boy, but your ass can suck it in without needing to get used to it. It must be so embarrassing." "Ahh, don''t say t-that... A-Aah, ugh~?" He teased me in such a gentle voice, making my whole body hot with shame. I put pressure on my lower abdomen to somehow push his penis out, but it was useless; it only made me tighten instead, which made me feel even more pleasure, causing my hips to bounce. He rubbed my walls a few times to loosen me up and then embedded himself deep inside me. After that, he started thrusting into me little by little. It felt good- it felt so good. But I could not. "Ahhh...n-...d-don''t...noo..." "No? Why not? Even though you''re feeling it so much. Zagan, you''re rocking your hips, you know? It must feel good." "Umm...no, t-that''s not-ah...ngh-" My tears flowed over. No matter how much I denied it, Luca would always tell the truth. I did not want to feel it, but my body would seek this pleasure. "Zagan, you''re so cute when you cry. Ah, it tightened up. You must be happy to be called cute, huh." "No, no...ahh...ngh-" My tears kept flowing, and even my nose started to run. Whenever I grumbled, Luca would call me cute again. He repeated it over and over in a loving voice, and I felt like my brain was going to melt. "It feels good, like here. Mmm, I feel so good, too. I think it¡¯s about time you came. I''m going to make you cum a lot again today." "N-N-...aah, ngh...ahh~" The way he was thrusting and rubbing in me so violently was unbearable. I denied that it felt good, and the harder I tried to hold back, the stiffer my penis became, and more pleasure flooded me. My body started to feel weird. "Ah, no...c-coming, ah...no no...I''m g-gonna...aaaaah~?!" The pleasure flooded out of me with a gushing sound. My entire body flexed and convulsed. Luca had not ejaculated yet, but I still came first. Oh, it felt so good. "Ngh, haa...Zagan, you came just from taking it from behind. And I haven''t even cum yet. Fufu, you''re just like a girl already." "N-No...I...no-" "No? But when I said you''re like a girl just now, your ass got all tight. How naughty. And it''s so slippery, just a little bit of movement makes it tighten up in such a lovely way." "Yah, I just came-no... ahhh." My whole body was shaking from the hard thrusts into my oversensitive core. It felt good... AH, No, it didn''t feel good! Oh, no... I''m going to become weird all over at this rate. "It feels good. Zagan loves it when I put my dick in his ass, after all." "Ahh...ummm...ngh." "Ngh, I''m cumming too. Haa...I''m going to cum deep inside you. I''m going to cum inside of you lots and lots again today, Zagan, so much that a baby might come out." "N-No... a baby...n-" Even though it was done to me regularly, I imagined Luca''s sperm moving around in my womb and impregnating me like a woman, causing my whole body to shiver. I tried to escape quickly, but he grabbed me tightly by the waist and thrust into my colon again and again. I was being gouged. Soon after, I felt a tremendous heat and pleasure spreading through my body. "Nghaaaaaaa~?! Ah, nooo! Oooooh... It''s a-all Luca''s fault-, hot... I''m going to burst! Aaah...ugh~?" "N-Ngh...haa. Un, You''ve been impregnated. You''re already a girl now, see?" "Uugh...n-no...no, Luca..." I was crying and desperately trying to deny it when he kissed me on the corners of my eyes and my lips. Then he locked his eyes with mine. "You asked me earlier, saying that I wouldn''t like your body like this. But how could I not? Because I''m changing Zagan''s body so that you can feel it so much. In fact, I''ll be happy if you become debauched. I''m going to train you until you beg me to put my cock in you. And of course, I''ll have lots of sex with you after that." "Aah...debauched, that kind of thing..." I did not want to be that, though? And training? Could it be that I was in the middle of being trained by Luca? By begging, he meant that I would ask him to embrace me of my own will? ...T-That''s too embarrassing. Impossible, totally impossible, you hear?

I entered the eighth dungeon under the cover of the darkness. The dungeon had a beautiful and majestic hall, just like the ones I had seen before. The imposing decorations only lasted so long as the star fragments were in the dungeons though. I chose a path I deemed fit, but now that I was in the eighth dungeon, the monsters that appeared were all considerably strong¡ª A-ranks from the start. Will Luca and his party be alright? I wonder how strong they have become now. Luca and his friends were the ones who would obtain the star fragment here, so they should be able to beat the two S-ranked opponents when they defeat the boss. After about three hours, I arrived at the save point and set up my tent. Just as I was nodding off and got under the covers, my magic communicator began buzzing. It was a call from Luca. ¡°Zagan, you¡¯re already in the dungeon?¡± ¡°Yeah. I was just getting ready to go to sleep. Luca, you too?¡± ¡°That is right, but¡­ sigh. It¡¯s hard when you¡¯re not by my side, Zagan. I want to hug you to sleep. I want to feel your presence.¡± Hearing him say that, my cheeks turned hot. I, too, did not hate being hugged to sleep by Luca. If you asked me if it was unbearable or not, I wouldn¡¯t know how to answer. ¡°We will surely meet within the next 20 days. At that time, won¡¯t you have become stronger than now? ¡± ¡°¡­Yeah. That¡¯s right, I¡¯ll do my best. I will become strong enough to protect you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to that. Go to sleep now so you can fight in perfect condition tomorrow.¡± ¡°Fufu, thanks. Goodnight, Zagan¡± ¡°Goodnight, Luca.¡± Hanging up the call, I closed my eyes. It took me just a little longer than usual to fall asleep. Luca¡¯s magic barrier was completed a few days after I entered the dungeon. Thus, I started on mine right away. However, this would be finished soon. It was a simple structure to just surround myself as I drank the MP Potions. Both I and the opponent had the dark attribute. As a result, when the barrier was up, I could not attack. If I stayed inside the barrier all the time, I might be safe, but the dragons could shift their target to the metropolis, and then I wouldn¡¯t be able to protect the city. Since the barrier I had made was flat, there was nothing I could do if we were attacked from the side. It would have been nice if I could have made a magic tool that could protect the entire city, but I am nowhere close to the level of creating such a large scale thing, that would usually take years, in just one month. Therefore, in the battle against the Dragons I have to release the most magic I can, somehow or the other, enclose myself with the barrier, drink MP Potions to recover, and once again release magic over and over. Until Luca arrives, that is. Although I don¡¯t know how strong Luca will become by then. If he is no match for our dragon opponent, unfortunately I will have to battle alone. When I felt tired from all the manufacturing, I called Luca and talked to him just a little while before going to sleep. And thus, before Luca finished the dungeon capture, the barrier was all complete. The 25th. As I was walking in the dungeon, I received a call from Luca. They had obtained the star fragment. To take the trouble to contact me, what an upright man he was. Further, he even said that he would leave the dungeon at night. His reasoning was that he didn¡¯t want me to be seen by the people from the dark organization. It seemed that the heroines had agreed to wait a few more hours. Speaking of which, did Luca tell them that I was being targeted by the dark organization? When I was making magic tools in the villa, no one asked me what I was making or why. I had a feeling Camilla knew. She was an extremely calm and composed woman, and I had no doubt Luca relied on her. As for Noel¡­she¡¯d have said something if she knew, but I doubt it. Well, it didn¡¯t matter even if she knew. The question was whether or not there was the possibility of them following Luca and joining in the battle. If Luca stopped them, they would likely stay in the city, but if they still followed him, he would have to get them all inside my magic barrier. After hanging up the call with Luca, I proceeded further in the dungeon. The magic barrier had been made. With that, all that was left was to single mindedly focus on getting stronger. It was early afternoon the next day when I left the dungeon. As agreed on our call beforehand, I met Luca at the Adventurer¡¯s Guild. ¡°Zagan!¡¡I really wanted to see you. Sigh, it¡¯s been half a month since I last saw you.¡± Luca promptly hugged me. He hugged me with his arms around my waist and back, and put his cheek against my head, without caring about being seen by others. It was quite a task to shift to a corner so as to not get in the way of other people. Although I could sense the occasional glance from the people around, they all seemed to be either smiling or had a dumbfounded look on their faces, so I¡¯d like to believe that I wasn¡¯t causing them any trouble. There were a few who looked at us and went ¡°Ahh, I also want a handsome boyfriend like that¡± too. It was a little embarrassing, but¡­well, yeah. After being silently wrapped up in my warmth for a while, perhaps he was satisfied, for he peered into my face. Thus, to finish the task at hand, I took out the key from my magic bag. ¡°Here, I¡¯m returning this.¡± It was the key I had used to lock the doors when I was the last one to leave the mansion half a month ago. Luca accepted it, albeit a little dissatisfied. ¡°If only we could stay together for the rest of the month too.¡± ¡°I finished making the magic tool. So all that¡¯s left to do is keep hunting monsters to become stronger. That¡¯s why, I plan to go diving in the dungeons here starting tomorrow, and plan on reaching the 9th city on the tenth.¡± ¡°Huh? Then we won¡¯t be able to meet again for a long time? ¡± ¡°Yeah. I¡¯m sorry, but I want to do everything I can. I want to make sure that I can confidently defeat them when they come to pick a fight.¡± With five dark dragons as my opponents, no amount of preparation would be enough. All that was left was a month. The only way to get rid of my anxiety about whether I would win, was to keep moving my body. ¡°¡­You¡¯re¡­right. I¡¯ll also give my all into training. I¡¯ll improve my mana manipulation abilities even more. To the point where I can even defeat you.¡± ¡°I see. Then I can let you beat me that easily.¡± ¡°Pfft. It really would have been nice if I could have gone dungeon diving with you, Zagan.¡± ¡°I want you to inform the lord of the 9th city of the dark organization. Luca, you were the one who said you¡¯d protect me, even if it meant using your status and authority.¡± ¡°Yeah. I will surely protect you.¡± Our opponents weren¡¯t just the dragons. There were hundreds in the dark organization, and there was the possibility that they could attack the city while I was away fighting. However, if we intensify the city¡¯s defence, they won¡¯t be able to meddle and the damage to the Ninth City will be even less. I will also be able to fight with all my strength. And what I was worried about was¡ª Advertisement ¡°I want to know Luca¡¯s ability at the very least, so let¡¯s have a spar on September 10.¡± ¡°Got it. By the way, if I lose, it isn¡¯t as if you won¡¯t let me participate in the battle against the dark organization or something, right? ¡± ¡°No way. It depends on your ability. But won¡¯t you be strong enough to beat me then? ¡± When I deliberately provoked him with a smile, Luca was dazed for a moment and then broke into a beaming face. ¡°That is right. I¡¯m happy to be relied upon by Zagan. I¡¯ll do my best to meet your expectations.¡± And then he kissed me on the cheek. We¡¯re still inside the guild! I could hear a shrill shriek. Wasn¡¯t it obvious that we had been seen? ¡°Ahhhhh, I also want a boyfriendddddd!¡±¡¡I could hear a lamenting voice. I¡¯m sorry, but I don¡¯t have any acquaintances to introduce. Please do your best and search for one yourself. {Hasr: I came here to be healed, not to be reminded of my sad single life T^T)} ¡°For the time being, today I want Luca to test the magic tools I made for you, just as promised. Let¡¯s go outside.¡± ¡°In that case, I¡¯ve reserved a room at the underground training centre here for you in the morning.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± The adventurer guild¡¯s training centre? I had never used it before, so it had completely slipped my mind. ¡°It¡¯s properly locked so that nobody will enter, and if someone wants to peek at my rendezvous with Zagan using the master key, you know what will happen, right? ¡± Luca glanced at the guild staff. When he did that, they nodded like hens pecking at food. ¡­What did he just say? ¡°Then Zagan, here.¡± CH 24.2 ¡°§´h?? w§Ñ§å, Z§Ñg§Ñn.¡± §¡ft§Ör m§å h§Ñnd w§Ñ? gr§Ñbb§Öd §Ñnd m§å f?ng§Ör? k???§Öd, ? w§Ñ? gu?d§Öd b§å §Ñ h§Ñnd §àn m§å b§Ñ§ãk. §´h§Ön, th§Ö gu?ld ?t§Ñff, m§à?t §àf wh§àm w§Ör§Ö m§Ön, w§Ñv§Öd th§Ö?r h§Ñndk§Ör§ãh?§Öf? §Ñt m§Ö, wh?l§Ö th§Ö w§àm§Ön ?m?l§Öd t§Önd§Örl§å, th§Ö?r §Ö§å§Ö? ?§â§Ñrkl?ng.

Then he kissed me lightly on the lips. I let him do what he pleased as usual; after a while, he looked into my eyes, seemingly satisfied. "It¡¯s about time we ate. Shall we go somewhere for lunch?" "There were a lot of stores on the way here, as well as food in the arena." "Let''s go upstairs and get something to eat. Do you want to watch a few fights while we''re here?" "Yes, I''d like that." Since we had come to the coliseum, a typical place in a fantasy world, I really wanted to check it out. Although I couldn''t help but feel impatient and anxious since there was only half a month left until the day in question, it was okay to take a little break. Thus, we returned above ground. We checked the lobby to see what kind of games were going on and found out that there was going to be a party tournament in the afternoon in the circular arena. We purchased tickets for the game and, while we were at it, we bet a silver coin on which team would win. Then we bought lunch. I had a hard time choosing between the various stores, but I decided on something I could take to my seat. I got juice, some stuffed bread, a salad, and fries. I usually ate this kind of fast food while exploring dungeons. But for some reason, it tasted better than usual. Perhaps it was because I was with Luca. However, there were a good number of people glancing at us. It was probably because the games haven¡¯t started yet. "The prince is eating fried bread," "Even the prince uses a straw to drink," they would whisper to each other. You guys also eat fried bread and use straws, don''t you? I understood why they were interested in Luca. But this was the Kingdom of Soleil. When Luca received the royal decree, he and Noel went out on their journey alone, and there were also nobles here who were walking around normally. Most of the kingdom''s knights and mages that I occasionally saw were also nobles. Of course, some only lived in the aristocratic society, but the nobles who appeared at these events ate the same food as civilians and followed the same rules. Though one could tell that they were aristocrats by their clothes and behaviour, it was considered foolish to make such a public declaration. Therefore, it was not strange for Luca to eat fries. It was not, but... Things like, "His lover is feeding him...!?" and "I''m so jealous of them flirting in such a place!" When I heard them saying such things, I couldn¡¯t stop my face from getting hot. While I was eating the fries, Luca opened his mouth saying, "Ahhh~" so I had no choice but to feed him. It was definitely not my fault. ---------------------- Watching the game was lots of fun. It was my first time to actually spectate an interpersonal game, let alone a party tournament. It was 8 vs 8. The tactics were well thought out, including the coordination of the vanguard shield man, the rear guard mage, and the swordsmen. My bet didn''t pan out, but I still had a good time until the evening. It was time for dinner by the time we left the Coliseum. "I''ve made reservations at the hotel for dinner." "Okay." I agreed since I had no reason to refuse. The last time I was taken to a hotel, I was surprised because I hadn''t been told beforehand, and I didn''t know that same-sex marriage was possible, so I refused. Moreover, I was not used to having sex. However, it has been four months since then. I was used to walking hand in hand with Luca through the city and spending the night together. It has been a while since I''ve stayed in a hotel, but Luca always ensured that it was just the two of us, so there was no problem. ...I guess I just left everything up to Luca. Perhaps I should do something for him once in a while. But it was quite hard to think of something I could do for him. Luca was so communicative and prepared that he didn''t usually need any help at all. He had a lot of money, and his status and power were at the top of the top. Was there anything I could possibly do for a man like that...? "Zagan, what''s wrong? Do I have something on my face?" "You have eyes, a nose, and a mouth." "Y-yeah, you''re right. You have them too. Ahh, Zagan is so cute~" I was deep in thought, so I just said that without thinking, causing Luca¡¯s face to scrunch in confusion. I was aware that I had given a strange answer, so I quietly left it at that. --------------------- Once we arrived at the hotel, the manager showed us to our room. As expected, it was just the two of us. Dinner, which was paid for in advance this time, was laid out on the table. It was lavish. We also took a bath. While we were soaking in the tub, he embraced me from behind. Luca placed his palm on my lower abdomen and started stroking it. This made my insides tingle; it made me crave Luca''s penis. The way his erect penis pressed against my ass made me want him even more. He insisted on washing my hair and body, so I let him do as he pleased. As he washed me, he would occasionally touch my nipples and penis, and when I twitched, he would whisper in my ear about how cute I looked. With every caress, my desire to have sex with him increased, and my anus twitched and tightened. My body felt like it was on fire, and I let out a gasp. Luca hummed happily as he stroked my lower abdomen again. Perhaps he wanted to enter me as soon as possible. Come to think of it, Luca always touched me, but I rarely touched him back. ...Because Luca was the one who fell in love with me. I still didn''t know what it was like to be in love with someone romantically. However, I didn''t mind being touched by Luca. He always made me feel good, so I should return the favor once in a while. It was also something I could do for Luca. It was a little...um, really embarrassing. When we got out of the bath, he invited me to his bed. He hugged me and kissed my still damp hair. From my temple to my cheeks, his lips kept touching everywhere. "Shall we have sex?" Luca gently whispered to me and stroked my thighs over my bathrobe. When I nodded, he kissed me on the lips. He licked the tip of my tongue, making my shoulders tremble with pleasure. I knew that if I didn''t do anything, he would just push me down and play with my body while I was engrossed in the kiss; I would be completely devoured. So, before that could happen, I pushed him down. Shocked, he tried to sit up but was unable to as I sat on his thighs. Then, I declared, "Today, I''m going to be the one on top." "...Eh? Umm..." "I won the fight, right? So I''ll do what I want. Luca, lie down and be obedient." "Eh, no. Zagan? A-are you being serious?" I nodded. Even I could do it if I wanted to. I''ve had it done to me on occasion. Luca was awfully flustered, but he wouldn''t bite...I think. Regardless, I pulled the front of Luca''s bathrobe open, exposing his shoulders. He wouldn''t lift his arms, so I gave up on pulling it all off. Luca still had the same manly figure; I always envied him because I had a slim body and wasn''t as tall as him. He also had a huge penis. It was amazing that this thing could always fit inside me. I also took off my bathrobe and stripped naked. I knew I was going to get fucked, so I didn''t have any underwear on, and my penis was already erect since he¡¯d stirred me up so much in the bath. "Z-Zagan, will you reconsider? Your cute little ass-pussy is tingling with desire for my cock, right?" "It''s okay. It''s not a problem." It was definitely tingling, but I could bear with it for a bit. I moved down from Luca''s thigh and brought my face close to his penis. It was a little flaccid, probably because he got startled when I suddenly pushed him down. I propped it up with my hand so it would be easier to put it in my mouth, then sniffed it. It smelled like soap since we had just taken a bath. I stuck my tongue out and started to lightly lick it, but I couldn''t really taste anything. Was it bitter or sweet? Just like that, I sucked it lightly. I was a little nervous because it was my first time doing this, but I didn''t feel disgusted. It was Luca''s, so it was only natural. I''d rather make him feel good. I had to suck it in deeper so I wouldn''t bite it by mistake...No, it was no good; it was already straining my jaw. I couldn''t take it any further because it was so big. Luca could take my penis almost to the base too... For now, I just continued to lightly suck on it while licking the tip. Before I knew it, it was fully erect and leaking pre-cum, so I licked that off as well. Luca''s taste spread on my tongue. I could feel his magical energy stimulating the inside of my mouth. As I kept sucking and rubbing his rod, Luca caressed my head. "Ahh, Zagan... What a destructive force you are." I looked up at Luca as I sucked him; he was looking down at me. He¡¯d covered half of his face with the back of his hand. His blue eyes were glazed, and his face was flushed. I was relieved to see that he was enjoying it. I kissed his rod, and then stuck my tongue out and licked up from the base of it to the tip. I rubbed the underside with my fingers to stimulate it, then sucked on the tip, sucking the mana that spilled out of it. I also rubbed his balls and caressed his penis, all while checking on Luca. "Ugh, I can''t believe Zagan is licking my dick with all he''s got... It''s so cute my nose is going to bleed." Luca was happy, and he looked like he felt good. But it didn''t seem like it was enough to make him cum. Should I stimulate it harder? But this was a tender spot, so I had to be careful with it. The thought of accidentally crushing it with the wrong amount of force made my own crotch ache in sympathy. What should I do? Luca tilted his head, probably because I scrunched my eyebrows and looked troubled. "What''s wrong, Zagan?" "I''m trying to figure out what to do to make you cum." "N-ngh... I-I see. I''m really aroused, but I would say it''s a waste...? ...Yeah. I think I might cum if I look at Zagan''s ass-pussy, so can you turn your ass over here?" Oh, I see. Change the visual perception? It was worth a try, so I lifted my face from his penis, and turned my body around. Then I climbed on top of him again. I was embarrassed to have my ass in Luca''s face, but I tried not to let it bother me, as I usually did. "Mmm, good boy. Now I just want you to suck me off again." "Mm...hu...mmm." I sucked on his penis as he said that. I had gotten quite used to licking. I was not sure if it was a proper blowjob or not, but I only knew about what Luca had done to me. "Zagan''s ass-pussy is shut tight. When we did it every day, it would open up a little even before I played with it. But even though it''s closed, it''s still twitching and urging me on. Fufu, I''ll play with you soon." I could feel the tip of his finger poke my anus. After rubbing the rim, which gradually softened, he stretched it widely with his thumb. His breath hung in the air, and he started to lick me with the tip of his tongue. "Fua...ah...ngh..." He completely coated my anus with saliva, and then gently licked it to loosen up my hole. As Luca''s mana permeated within me, the pleasure spread, and I was sweetly debauched. It made me unable to do anything else but mindlessly suck on Luca''s penis. I wouldn''t be able to make him come like this. I had to keep licking it. "Mmmu...mmm...fua..." I tried my best to move my mouth, but as his tongue teased my insides, I couldn''t help but shudder with pleasure. I could only hold his penis in my mouth. He continued to lick my hole for a while. By the time his tongue finally left it, my hips were squirming as usual. Plus, my insides were really tingling. My face was hot with embarrassment as he spread me open and looked inside. But more than that, I felt dejected. "Zagan''s ass-pussy is so soft and loose. It''s so cute, opening up like that. It''s about time we did something naughty here. You wanted to suck my dick, right?" "Haa...mmm...I''m sorry, Luca." "Huh? W-why are you apologising?" "I couldn''t make you cum. I wanted to do something for you because you always do these things for me..." I thought about what I could do for Luca, and all I could think of was to make him cum by sucking him off, but the result was this. It was just as he¡¯d said. I wanted him in my core, and I couldn''t take any more of his dick in my mouth. "So that is what this is about. Haa, I''m glad." "Hmm?...Luca?" "No, it''s nothing. I''m glad you feel that way. And there are still things you can do for me, Zagan, so don''t be sad." When I turned back to look at him, Luca smiled at me. Is there anything more I can do? I thought as Luca tilted his head and leaned back against the cushion. He lifted his head a little higher. "Zagan, turn around and sit on top of me, okay? I want you to put my penis in you. That would make me so happy I''d swoon." Come to think of it... I have never put his penis in me myself, not once. I nodded my head because I knew I could do it. I lifted my trembling body from Luca¡¯s, and then turned to face him. I placed my arms on his shoulders as instructed. Holding Luca''s head, I sat on his lower abdomen first. His hot penis was touching me from my butt to my hips. He wiped my teary eyes with his fingers and kissed me on the lips. A small hum escaped my lips. "I''ll spread your ass-pussy open for you, okay? All you have to do is adjust your position and lower your hips." He held my ass with both hands and quickly spread my hole. My insides were slightly exposed to the open air, which made me shiver. I braced myself with my knees and arms and lifted my hips. If I were to stray too far from his dick, I would lose track of its position. So, to avoid that, I slowly raised my hips. When I reached the very tip of his dick, I adjusted my position and let it touch my rim. It was already held open by Luca, so it clamped down on him firmly. It felt so good that I almost felt my body lose its strength. "Aah...mmm...ngh." "Slowly descend just like that. Slowly, slowly." "Ngh...fuaah¡ª" I gradually lowered my hips as Luca guided me. His large penis buried itself in my core. It felt so good to have his heat filling my aching spot that my hips lost all strength. I was kept from engulfing it too quickly because Luca was holding my hips. The waves of pleasure were coming in slow and steady. To be honest, it was almost as if Luca was lowering me halfway. Then, slowly, with his penis deep in my hole, I sat on top of him again. "¡ª?,¡ª?" "Oh, you did a good job sucking it. Well done. I''m so happy to have Zagan suck me off." "Fuaa...L-Luca...deep, deep...aahh¡ª?" "Yeah, it''s gone all the way up to your colon. So many hearts are flying, and your eyes are all glossy. You''re so adorable, Zagan." My own body weight made me engulf his dick down to the base. When I tried to hold back from coming, my belly tightened around his penis, which was buried deep inside me. I could feel Luca''s presence inside me; the pleasure was intense. I came again and again, lightly, without ejaculating. "Aah...ah, ugh¡ª?" "Haa, Zagan''s ass-pussy is wriggling. It feels so good. Mmm...I think it''s about time to move." "Aahh...? Ah, ah, ahh-ngh...ahh..." He grabbed me by the waist and thrust upward from beneath me. He kissed me repeatedly while the head of his cock kept rubbing on the interior of my colon. When he rolled my hips in a circular motion and stirred my insides, I felt strange. I couldn''t stop panting as the pleasure travelled to my brain. His dick was rubbing my insides so much that my head started to feel fuzzy from the intense pleasure. "Ahhh...L-Luca...ah, ah...a-ah-ngh..." "Ngh...haa, Zagan, I love you. I, love, you, a lot." "Fuaa...a-ah...deep...it''s...dee-ngh-?" Being penetrated from below stimulated me even more profoundly than usual due to the gravity. My entire body was trembling from the intense pleasure, and tears welled up in my eyes. It feels so good. It feels incredibly good. Luca? What about Luca? "Ahh...L-Luca, does it...feel good-ngh...inside-ah...me?" "Yes. Haa, it feels good... the best." He seemed to be really enjoying it, and he let out heated pants. I was glad. Seeing Luca feel like that because of my body made my chest tighten and feel warm. My insides were repeatedly being penetrated, and the waves of pleasure rushing through me intensified. My whole body convulsed, causing me to tighten up around Luca''s penis. "Nghhha, I''m...Luca, cumming...I''m gonna cum-ahh." "Ngh...Haa, me too." "Ahhh, aah...ah, a, ngh¡ª?" Oh, oh, I was coming. It felt good, it felt so good. My whole body spasmed and my insides tightened around his penis. The narrow walls of my insides were still being pierced. Luca was groaning and spewing hot semen into my core. I was filled with Luca''s seed. Light mana spread all over my body. It felt so good. I couldn''t stop shivering. "Ah...ngh...haa...ugh...?" "Haa...It felt so good to have Zagan on top of me. Thank you~" "Mmm...?" I leaned against Luca because my body felt too weak with pleasure, and he stroked my back. He kissed my tear-stained cheeks over and over. As the pleasure subsided, he lifted my hips. I shuddered as his penis slipped out of me. Luca lay me down where he had been sitting a moment ago and looked into my face with concern. Tears blurred my vision, but when I stared back at him, he smiled back at me happily. He stroked my forehead, brushing off my sweaty bangs, and kissed me there. "This time, I''m going to make you feel good, Zagan. Let me love every part of you." I nodded my head in response to his gently whispered words. Then, slowly, gradually, Luca repeatedly engraved himself into my core. It felt good to be kissed and stroked here and there, and it made my head feel fuzzy. "You''ve got a lot of my seed in you. Fufu, Zagan''s belly is looking all plump. You look like you''re pregnant even though you''re a guy. So cute." "Ahh...ah, ngh..." "Oh, your naughty, plump ass-pussy is leaking my seed even though we went through all the trouble to put it in there. I''ll plug it up for you." "Fuaa, ahh¡ª...ugh, ahh¡ª?" I was thoroughly loved from the top of my head to the tip of my toes till I was completely ravished.

My vision turned red for a moment as a drop of her blood splattered on my cheek. I was totally shocked. I wanted to help her, but the situation was too much for my mind to handle. I couldn¡¯t move my body either because I had almost no mana left. Noel was flung back further towards an area away from where Miranda and Nina were standing. The ground there was crumbling and sharp from the fight with the dragons earlier. It was dangerous. Someone, anyone, get Noel out of there! ¡°Ah¡­wa-water!¡± I could hear the chanting of a spell. A large sphere of water materialized in the air. Splash! By entering the water sphere, Noel somehow managed to avoid getting impaled by the sharp ground. As soon as it slowly lowered to flat ground, the water sphere popped. ¡°Noel-chan!¡± Immediately, Cindy ran over to Noel. She then cast a healing spell on her. Bennett, too. But Noel was not moving, as if she was knocked unconscious. Why¡­why is she so wounded? I was not the only one who was exhausted from the battle with the dragons. I was sure Noel didn¡¯t have enough energy to put up a magic wall. Who would have attacked her in such a state? Nina rushed towards me with an angry look on her face. With the wind blowing about her, she passed by me with great speed. ¡°Stop, Nina!¡± ¡°¡­Ah-AHHHHHHHH!? It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!¡± Camilla, who was supporting my waist, shouted loudly. At the same time, I heard a crashing sound and a woman¡¯s piercing scream. I could smell a lot of blood. What was going on? I turned my head from Noel, who was out cold, to the other side, where Nina had run towards. Nina was holding the hair of a mage a short distance away, gripping it tightly. A woman with long green hair. She was crouched and screaming. Even though she was writhing from the intense pain, she couldn¡¯t move. Nina was holding her by the hair and pulling her down. The sobbing woman was missing her right arm. It had fallen some distance away¡­along with her wand. Was she the one who attacked Noel? She was a mage wearing the country¡¯s emblem, yet she tried to kill Noel, who was supposed to be her fellow countryman?¨CThat woman¡­ to my sister¡­ ¡°¡­I¡¯m gonna kill her!!!¡± My anger reached its peak, and I reflexively released my magic, pointing my wand at the woman. But before I could chant, the tip of my wand was seized. ¡°No, Zagan! Do not attempt to fire your magic! If you do, your mana will run out, and you¡¯ll die! Miranda, restrain Zagan!¡± ¡°Ah¡ª¡­Yes!¡± They pinned me down from behind, and my hands slackened. At the same time, my wand was taken from me. Damn it! I can¡¯t attack like this! ¡°Move, Miranda, Camilla!¡± ¡°I will not move! I will absolutely not move! Calm down, Zagan, this isn¡¯t like you!¡± ¡°Grr¡­but that woman! To Noel!¡± ¡°Yes, she did hurt Noel! But Noel was not the target. You were!¡± ¡°¡­M-e?¡± At those words, my raging emotions abruptly diminished. Ah¡­oh, I see. So that¡¯s what this is about. Noel got hurt because she was supporting me. It¡¯s my fault that my little sister¡­ Even though I refused to accept it because I didn¡¯t want to hurt her¡­ That being said, I wondered if she was okay. I hurriedly checked behind me. Cindy, whose eyes met mine, smiled and nodded her head. Thank God; Noel was safe. ¡°Ugh! Let go of me..!! Do you really think you can get away with doing this to me!?¡± ¡°Shut your whining. You¡¯re the one who slashed up Noel¡¯s body. Didn¡¯t anyone ever teach you that you shouldn¡¯t do things that would anger people? Ah, I see. You¡¯re an idiot, aren¡¯t you? They say idiots have to die to be cured. I¡¯m going to kill you as you are now!¡± With her pupils still wide open, Nina tried to thrust her sword at the woman. But her arm was also caught and stopped¡­ by Luca. ¡°You can¡¯t, Nina. If you kill her here, you¡¯ll be charged with murder.¡± ¡°¡­Luca. But she did this to Noel!¡± ¡°Yes, I know. I know, so can you just let me handle this? Ah, you can keep your hold on her hair. Somebody, please stop the bleeding. Just enough so that she doesn¡¯t die of blood loss. If you try to heal everything, then I¡¯ll cut off your arm too, so be careful.¡± Luca said to the people around him. He even added a few threats. However, most of them did not understand why the woman had attacked and were too shaken to move. The duke of the 9th city tapped a knight who was standing beside him on the shoulder. The knight nodded silently and poured a potion on the remaining stump of the woman¡¯s arm. The potion wouldn¡¯t fix her missing arm, so I believe he made a good decision in response to Luca¡¯s order. Looking closely, it was one of the knights I had met in the hall at the start of the dungeon diving. When the woman finally noticed Luca, probably because she was no longer in pain like before, she tried to approach him in a flattering manner, even though she was being held by the hair. ¡°Y-your Highness. Prince Luca! Please punish this savage woman! This woman, all of a sudden did this to my arm¡­¡± ¡°Shut up or I¡¯ll kill you.¡± Luca thrust his sword at the woman¡¯s neck. His eyes were ice cold, emitting a sharp, deadly killing intent that seemed like it could pierce one¡¯s heart. Luca was even more pissed off than I was. The woman looked aghast, her body trembling. Her face paled at Luca¡¯s murderous intent. The reason why she still tried to speak was probably that she was mentally strong in her own way. It was most likely because she had been dungeon diving from the first one to here. ¡°T-that can¡¯t be¡­ H-have you forgotten about me? We¡¯ve met at various parties in the capital, haven¡¯t we!¡± ¡°I remember your face, yes. But I don¡¯t really care who you are. Why did you attack Noel? Perhaps it was outrage over the fact that she was my childhood friend? Or could it be that you were trying to kill my lover who was with her?¡± ¡°Wha¡ª¡­ I-is he really your lover!? Isn¡¯t that man a dark attribute user!? And for His Highness to be with a man¡­ that¡¯s outrageous! He is completely unsuitable for Your Highness!¡± The woman knew that I was a dark attribute user after all. The people of the Ninth City didn¡¯t know that I was a dark attribute user. Since I became an adventurer, I¡¯ve been active from the 12th city to the 4th city, so they didn¡¯t know about me until now. That was probably why most of them glanced at me with surprise. However, some of the people from the first city knew that I was Zagan, an S-rank adventurer. Just like Miranda did. A few of the people near that woman also seemed to know me, whether they were her companions or not, and while their faces similarly paled, there was a hint of disgust in their eyes as they surveyed me. I didn¡¯t know that she even knew that Luca and I hung out together a lot. Even though each large city was very broad, I should have paid more attention to my surroundings. I had known it would be a problem if the nobles found out. But I was so weary of the other dark attribute users that I completely forgot that there were people like her. Luca, Noel, I¡¯m sorry for dragging you into this. The woman continued shouting even though Nina was grabbing her by the hair and pointing her sword at her. She kept ranting at me. Luca¡¯s eyes, which looked down at her in silence, were so cruelly cold. ¡°He might be the one who summoned the dragons! He¡¯s a cowardly dark attribute user; he must have wanted His Highness to slay the dragons in order to get some high-grade materials. He should be killed at once while he is still vulnerable!¡± CH 30.2 *Warning: arm dismemberment* Recap: ¡°He might be the one who summoned the dragons! He¡¯s a cowardly dark attribute user; he must have wanted His Highness to slay the dragons in order to get some high-grade materials. He should be killed at once while he is still vulnerable!¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Dark attribute users were considered absolute evil in the Kingdom of Soleil. It was no wonder that this was the case since history has made it so. Moreover, those of the Dark organization actually have killed many people. Perhaps that was why the people around me who were listening to that woman¡¯s words turned their eyes on me so sharply. They were knights and mages who belonged to the country. So, instead of being frightened like civilians, they just aimed their killing intent at me. That woman¡¯s words were likely speaking on behalf of this society. Saying that Luca, a prince, and I, a dark attribute user, being together was ridiculous. That society would not allow it. The people of the Ninth City had looked upon us favourably, even though we were both men. In the Eighth City, the guild staff had looked at us with kindness. In the Seventh City, we were allowed to walk hand in hand. But that was only because I was hiding my hair. None of them knew that I was a dark attribute user in those instances. The moment they find out, they would probably react the same way as the knights did here. Furthermore, that woman said that if the other person was a prince, then it would be even worse if the lover was also a man. ¡°¡­OW! You! Let go of me! Ow¡ªDon¡¯t pull my hair!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been told not to let go. He didn¡¯t say, ¡®don¡¯t pull¡¯, though. Actually, you really are annoying. Why don¡¯t you shut up already?¡± Nina kept tugging at the woman¡¯s hair in her frenzied state. Miranda, who had been supporting me for some time, gritted her teeth. Camilla stood in front of me as if to protect me even with her small stature, holding her large wand. I could feel the anger radiating from the girls. I appreciate their concern. But they don¡¯t need to worry this much; I¡¯m used to this. Ever since I became an A-rank adventurer and more people started to know me, I¡¯ve been met with the occasional killing intent, and looks of disgust or fear when I stroll the streets. Although no one knew me from the Sixth City, I was sure that I would be exposed to the same situation again when I returned to the Twelfth City. And since they didn¡¯t try to do anything to me in the end, there was no point in worrying about it. ¡°It seems that you have nothing more to say.¡± ¡°Huh? ¡­Ah, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?¡± With a thud, the woman¡¯s other arm fell off. Blood spurted out with a splatter, and a scream rang out. Nina, startled, let go of the woman¡¯s hair. The woman then flailed around in extreme agony. She was crying and sweating profusely, blood and dirt smeared all over her body. Luca just looked down at her with disdain as she was soiling herself. ¡°Why should my beloved be disgraced by a piece of trash like you? If you think that scum like you are worthy of me, then you are too stupid to be saved.¡± ¡°Aaahhh!! W-Why!? Aghhhh! E-even though I adore you so much!! Why!?¡± ¡°Do you think it¡¯s okay to kill someone¡¯s lover if you adore them? Do you think it¡¯s acceptable to kill someone for being a dark attribute user? Where on earth does such a law exist? No matter who it is, a murderer is a murderer. Furthermore, it was an attempted murder of my beloved in front of me, the Prince. There¡¯s absolutely no excuse. You are already a criminal. If you continue to speak out of turn, I will execute you right here and now.¡± ¡°Hiiiieee¡­!!¡± It was a cry of pure terror. Luca raised his sword above the woman¡¯s head, and his blood thirst to really kill her sent her into a state of panic. Luca has really become strong. That was probably why the intimidation he radiated was so overpowering, and seemed to squash even the nerves of those around him. I could feel the inexplicable anger radiating off of him even from where I was standing. ¡°Your Highness, executing her here would cause problems later on. Let¡¯s take proper procedures first. ¡°I guess so. I¡¯ll allow you to stop the bleeding now. Nina, gag the criminal and tie her feet so she can¡¯t escape.¡± Luca nodded at the duke¡¯s words and lowered his raised sword. He was still looking down at the woman. Everyone else but the knight and Nina, who had received the orders, was unable to move. They were overwhelmed by Luca¡¯s vicious killing intent. As I watched this, Camilla spoke up. ¡°Luca is a fearsome man. If he wanted to gag her, he could have done it a long time ago. But he didn¡¯t stop her from lashing out at you. He wanted to make sure that the woman would get the death penalty. I suppose he is that unforgiving. No, maybe he was just scared. If it weren¡¯t for Noel, he might have lost you.¡± ¡°Is that so? It seems to me that he was giving the woman a chance to apologize.¡± ¡°That¡¯s also true. If she had realized her mistake and apologized, she would have been forgiven. Her arm had already been cut off. However, it is very difficult to admit one¡¯s faults. It¡¯s even more difficult when you¡¯re a proud aristocrat like her. I¡¯m sure Luca knew that.¡± I see. Then the knights I met in the reception hall must have been sensible nobles. They apologized to me. Perhaps it was just because I was an S-rank adventurer, though. At any rate, one of them was over there, pouring a potion on the woman. Now Nina was tying the gagged woman¡¯s legs with rope. As expected of a former thief, she seemed to still have the usual restraining devices. The woman was stupefied. She was drooping and trembling with fear. She was frightened by how cold Luca¡¯s blue eyes were as he looked down at her. Those eyes finally left the woman¡¯s. Next, he turned to the knights and mages around him. ¡°I¡¯m sure you guys don¡¯t have the same mindset as that criminal who thinks it¡¯s okay to kill people without question for having the dark attribute, do you? Most of you seem to have turned your murderous intent on my beloved. Surely, you didn¡¯t think such a thing is true, especially since you don¡¯t have any basis for it, correct? You didn¡¯t think that her words, which became more and more unsightly with each outburst, were true, did you?¡± Silence reigned. No one could answer. Actually, they had taken the woman¡¯s word for it. It was because I was a dark attribute user. I knew it could not be helped. But if they were to nod their heads, it would be like saying that they were criminals just like that woman. Thus, they would get their arms cut off. That was just how intimidating the situation was. No one answered. They just kept on enduring the oppressive atmosphere. Was that Luca as the Prince? The formidable existence of a person who stood at the top was so overwhelming that it made them feel a sense of dread. After a while, he finally seemed to be ready to pardon them and addressed the knights again. ¡°I will not allow incompetents who can¡¯t judge right from wrong to stand above the citizens as magic knights or nobles. Don¡¯t ever act in such a way as to disgrace the Kingdom of Soleil again.¡± With that, they all saluted in unison in reply. After nodding at them briefly, Luca looked at the duke. ¡°Duke Magnifique. I leave it to you to deal with her.¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± The duke nodded gravely as he was entrusted with that task. His leadership would surely be put to test from now on. What kind of crime should he charge the woman with? How could he appease the nobles around him without offending Luca and the royal family? I might be Luca¡¯s beloved, but I was still a dark attribute user and an adventurer. It was still survival of the fittest. I was too exhausted to stand up on my own, and it was my own fault. But the fact remained that she had nearly killed a Count¡¯s daughter, the Prince¡¯s childhood friend. In addition, Noel was the daughter of the Vice Commander of the Royal Capital Mage Order. Her father was the second in command of the Mage Order, which was one of the top two orders along with the Order of the Royal Guards. If he were to find out what happened here, he would probably try to crush that woman¡¯s entire household. The duke had to give her a punishment that would stop the Count from doing so. The lightest punishment would be death. There were probably plenty of other punishments that were harsher than death. Though, I didn¡¯t know much about the aristocratic society. As I was pondering this, Luca, who was talking with Nina, looked at me. He gave me a rueful smile. The bittersweet smile on his face seemed to say, ¡°I¡¯ve shown you a bad side of me.¡± It wasn¡¯t bad, but I was more relieved to see the usual Luca. The two returned to us. But then Luca froze, his eyes widening in surprise. As I was about to turn my head to see what was wrong, I heard detestable laughter coming from behind me. ¡°Fuahahahaha! Well, what a wonderful farce we have just witnessed.¡± This voice¡­ it couldn¡¯t be.

I would rather witness a smile than tears. ¡°¡­I see. So you¡¯ve set yourself apart from us after all.¡±} ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The man¡¯s face twisted. His expression was sad; it was as if he were suffering. It might have been unbearable for him to be rejected by a person who was also a dark attribute user. Perhaps because it was the only thing he had to hold on to and to protect, the only existence he strove to save. Which was why he still tried to persuade me, someone who disapproved of and was a hindrance to his revolution, even while he was trying to kill me. ¡°Well, that¡¯s fine. We¡¯ve already achieved our goal. All that¡¯s left is¡­ just to kill all of the people who have been left behind!¡± He shouted loudly. As soon as he said that, the presence of the dark attribute users in the rear all started to move at once. ¡°Black Needle!¡± Before I realized it, I reflexively took out the wand that was returned to me and chanted a spell. Countless black needles rushed towards the dark attribute users to stop them from moving. All movement in the area stopped. I caught sight of the man¡¯s eyes. From behind me, I could feel Luca¡¯s agitation. My limbs grew cold. My body trembled and I was about to lose consciousness. Miranda¡¯s hand kept me from staggering. She tightly held onto my side. Miranda, please. Keep supporting me just like that. So that I don¡¯t fall. So those guys will think that I¡¯m still fine. ¡°I gave you the star fragments. Pull back already. If you don¡¯t, we¡¯re going to have to stab each other.¡± ¡°Y-you. Why are you protecting them?! Even though your comrades over there are the kind of trash who would unreasonably kill someone just because they have the dark attribute!?¡± ¡°Both you and them. You¡¯re all human. Which is why, to me, you are both existences to protect.¡± ¡°¡­ us too?¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± My vision grew blurry. Not yet. I couldn¡¯t collapse yet. If I collapsed here, they were going to bury the knights. More importantly, if Luca loses his rationality, he would end up killing everyone here. For some reason, I was certain of this. Although the man was perplexed, wondering what I was thinking, he let out a sigh after a short pause. ¡°I understand. We will retreat out of respect for Zagan-dono this time. But we will never forgive those people that persecuted dark attribute users. ¡ª We will definitely destroy this country.¡± The tentacles restraining Noel and Camilla disappeared. Bennett and Cindy were also released. The members of the dark organization retreated into the shadows of the trees, their figures disappearing in the darkness. I could feel their presence moving farther away. With a jerk, my legs gave out. It was useless; I couldn¡¯t move anymore. I couldn¡¯t open my eyes either. I felt Luca rushing over. He held my body and was probably peering at my face. ¡°Zagan! Zagan, stay with me! Why did you do such a reckless thing¡­!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Hurry up and give him an MP potion!¡± Sorry, Luca. I was already chanting before I realized it. I thought that I had to stop them no matter what. So that those peoples¡¯ sins wouldn¡¯t grow any heavier. So that the knights wouldn¡¯t lose their lives. Something like protecting all humans was impossible. So, at the very least, I wanted to protect the people that were within my reach. Ah, I¡¯m losing sensation in my arms and legs. My body is steadily getting ¡­ colder. Luca¡­ it¡¯s really¡­ cold. So hug me close¡­ like you always do. Won¡¯t you¡­ w-arm, me up¡­ ¡­ Luca¡­ Lu-ca¡­ ¡­Lu¡­ ___________________________ ¡°You¡¯ve done well to endure until today. Your body hurts, right?¡± ¡°You¡¯re such an unfilial child, dying before me.¡± Mom, Dad. Thank you for supporting me even though I had caused you so much trouble. Big brothers as well, thank you. My friends and coworkers, the doctors and nurses too. I had lived a life where I had been supported by many people. When I tried to think back on it, a lot of painful things had happened. When I first got cancer, I had taken my anger out on the people around me, asking, ¡°Why me?¡± But everyone had called out to me with kind voices and didn¡¯t abandon me. I had been comforted by the people around me. I was truly grateful for them. I had done my best to live until now. Which was why, in my last moments, I¡¯d like you to send me off with smiles instead of tears. If I was to be born again in the next life, I wonder what kind of life I¡¯d have¡­ Next time, it would be nice if I could live a long life. ___________________________ ¡°You, do you really want to repeat the same life again?¡± ¡°Huh? Of course not. It was such a crappy life.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right¡­ I don¡¯t want to go back again.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t get you. More importantly, is it ok for you to be here? The dragon¡¯s going crazy. Ugh¡­ that fucking hurts.¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t fighting tiresome? There¡¯s no point in protecting things. They just keep coming back anyway.¡± ¡°¡­Huh? You bastard, you¡¯re getting more and more transparent.¡± ¡°Ah, I thought so. You¡¯re getting transparent too. Let¡¯s restart.¡± ¡°¡­ I don¡¯t, get it.¡± ¡°Fufu. Until next time, Zagan.¡± ____________________________________ ¡­¡­¡­. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. ¡­.., ¡­¡­¡­ Advertisement ¡°¡­.el ¡­.up.¡± I could hear a voice. Whose voice was it? I could feel my body being shaken. But I wanted to sleep some more. ¡°It¡¯s time to wake up. Ne, ¡­el.¡± Little by little, I could feel my consciousness returning. I felt the sensation of my body waking up. But I still couldn¡¯t seem to open my eyes. ¡°Come on, ¡­el. If you don¡¯t wake up I¡¯m going to play a prank on you.¡± He giggled, his throat quivering with mirth. He took my hand and brought my fingertips to his lips. He held my hand and entwined our fingers together. He stroked my head and combed my bangs aside. Then he kissed my eyelids. They trembled at the fleeting touch of his lips. I had a feeling that I was going to wake up soon. His lips trailed down to my cheek. Then to the tip of my nose. It tickled. A short puffing sound slipped out of my nose.

I didn''t really realize it until just recently. How long has it been going on? Camilla told me that if it''s an expression of love to keep Luca''s semen in my womb, then I''ve been in love with him since even before he confessed. No, wasn''t it too fast? I wasn¡¯t accustomed to being embraced back then, and I think I was just confused. Still, Luca''s mana was comfortable and warm. So the idea of scrapping it out just didn''t cross my mind. However, little by little, I found myself accepting him more and more. The idea of two men walking hand in hand had been embarrassing at first, but lately, it just seemed normal to me. Hugging and kissing in public seemed normal now too. As for sex, I was now very happy that Luca wanted to embrace me. I felt even happier when my body made him feel good. I began to love him more and more. He was strong enough to protect me, and he¡¯d nursed me through his tears. I loved Luca so much for trying so hard for me. I was so overwhelmed with these feelings that the words spilled out unconsciously. After thinking about it for some time, I was finally able to calm down a bit. I timidly looked back at Luca. When our eyes met, he smiled softly at me. I could feel his love, and it made my heart throb. Perhaps it was because I was now aware that I was in love with him, but he appeared more handsome than usual. It caused my cheeks to heat up once more. "Your bashfulness is very cute. I love you." The way that Luca smiled happily and pressed his lips to my forehead and cheeks made me feel happy. I didn''t care how long it had been. I liked Luca. I finally realized that I liked him. So, as a man, I had to make a decision. "That... Luca. I said those words unconsciously. It wasn''t my intention to say it like that. So please, wait a moment." I still couldn''t shake off my overwhelming sense of embarrassment, but nevertheless, I looked back into Luca''s blue eyes. He raised his eyebrows a little but nodded. Suppressing my agitation, I sat up. I turned away from Luca, who was staring at me, and hurriedly took off my pyjamas. After stripping completely naked, I faced him again. If possible, I wanted to put on some nice clothes and to look good for this. However, the flow and momentum of a situation were also important, so I had no choice but to give up on that thought. In the first place, I wouldn¡¯t be able to wear protective gear for a while, and I didn''t have the presence of mind to choose my own clothes. As Luca blinked curiously at what I was doing, I took his hands and wrapped them tightly around me. Okay, I''m going to say it. "...Luca, I¡ª" "W-Wait, wait!" I was going to confess my feelings, but I was stopped. W-Why? I was almost shocked when he even pulled his hands away, but then Luca hurriedly took off his pyjamas. Come to think of it, he was also wearing pyjamas. I hadn''t been paying attention to what he was wearing. As I waited, Luca also stripped naked. After that, he pulled me closer to him. He leaned back against the cushion, sat me on top of him, and then moved to hug my waist. "I''m sorry I interrupted you. It''s okay now. Please repeat what you were saying." He was asking me to confess in this position. Our chests and stomachs were touching, and our legs were intertwined. Of course, our penises were also touching each other, which nearly made me shiver with pleasure. Also, Luca''s face was unusually close to mine. It was embarrassing, but... "¡ªI like you, Luca." "Yeah~ I love you too, Zagan." When I confessed this time, Luca gave me a sweet smile that made my heart melt. I couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed, and my heart was pounding furiously, but I was also very happy. As I stared into his beautiful eyes and tried to suppress my joy, he caressed my head. Luca pulled me close to him and kissed me as I closed my eyes. His lips were soft and warm. Just touching them felt good. I wanted to feel even better, so I parted my lips for him. As soon as I did, Luca''s tongue entered. Our tongues intertwined, making me shiver from the pleasure. "Fu, ah... mmm... aah..." As I slowly savoured the kiss, Luca''s hand trailed down from my head to my back. His hand caressed me and continued to travel down to my ass. Then he started to rub his fingers on my hole. It felt like he was spreading the sides and stretching me open with his index and ring fingers, while his middle finger was teasing the entrance. Finally, said finger slipped inside till it reached my prostate. "Ah, ngh~...Luca...? You haven¡¯t... licked it, though..." "Hmm? What''s wrong, Zagan?" "Y-Your finger, is not wet... yet it''s, inside..." "Oh, yeah, it''s pretty deep in there. It''s because your hole has been sucking on my dick every day for almost two weeks. That''s why it loosens up now at the slightest touch. Fufu, how cute~" "T-That''s... ngh... aah..." I was embarrassed that my body had become so slutty without me knowing, but I was distracted from my thoughts by the soothing stimulation on my prostate. Luca didn''t move it too roughly because I wasn''t wet, and only focused on pressing his finger softly against it. As I was shivering on top of Luca, immersing myself in this lazy pleasure, he kissed me on the cheek. He kissed me over and over. Eventually, he pulled his finger out, which caused my insides to tingle wistfully. If possible, I wanted Luca to go even deeper. As I squirmed, he supported my hips and lowered me from on top of him. I lay down and let Luca cover me. Now, our earlier positions were reversed. "I''m so happy that you confessed to me, Zagan. Thank you. In return, I''ll make you feel really good." After kissing me lightly on the lips, he worked his way down my nape and to my collarbone. He took my right hand and gently kissed the tips of my fingers. I shivered slightly from the ticklish sensation as his lips trailed down to the back of my hand, palm, wrist, arm, and shoulder. He took my left hand as well and repeated those heated touches. Once he was done with my arms, he moved to my feet, from my toes to my ankles, shins, and thighs. Slowly and carefully, he touched me all over, as if to confirm my existence. That was how he loved me. As I trembled and watched at Luca, our eyes met. He smiled blissfully and whispered, "I love you," and then sucked hard on my inner thigh, creating a hickey. My legs jerked, making him chuckle. "Ngh... Luca. Me too... I want to-uh... touch you... too-aah..." I didn¡¯t want to be the only one who was feeling good. I wanted Luca to feel good too. However, he held my penis, which caused me to break off. My body was trembling with pleasure, and I couldn¡¯t even move my hands the way I wished. I could feel my penis being thoroughly massaged, and even as he did that, he was also playing with my nipples. My body twisted and writhed as they were kneaded. "Fuaah... aah... ngh..." "Your nipples are so cute. With just a slight touch, they perk up right away. Plus, they feel so good. At first, you didn''t feel much from them, but now you do. Fufu, it¡¯s all because of me~" Luca kissed my nipples. Then, he started licking one of them with his tongue, rolling it around. The way he played with them felt so good. I could feel the mana from his saliva, which further heightened my pleasure. He gave the same treatment to my other nipple. My body tensed and jerked. I was a little scared that I would come just from having my nipples stimulated. My penis was now fully erect, and my anus was tingling. I felt such a painful longing in my empty ass that I couldn''t help but sway my hips. "Aah... ngh... haa... Luca... lower..." "Do you want me to touch your naughty ass-pussy?" "Ngh, touch...I want you, to put your, penis deep inside me." I nodded my head and urged him on. Then Luca immediately looked up. He smiled, looking overjoyed. "Yes. I''m going to fill you up all the way. Just a second." Luca licked his fingers and positioned them towards my ass. Just feeling his saliva on my rim was enough to make me feel good as his mana started permeating me. Finally, a finger entered and stirred at my walls to open them. My hips quivered as he also pressed on my prostate. "Aah... ngh... haa... mmm." "Fufu, your ass-pussy feels so good. Your hips are swaying, and your cute little cock is quivering. I''m just playing with it a bit, and it''s gradually getting wetter. Your ass-pussy is responding to my magical energy and getting all wet. So cute~" It certainly felt good, and I could hear the squelching sound coming from my insides. I think my insides were oozing with fluid because I wanted Luca''s penis. However, even though that was true, hearing Luca point it out made me feel embarrassed, and my cheeks flushed. The fact that Luca was staring at me so intently made it even more embarrassing. He added another finger and began to rub my insides. He stimulated my walls so much that my hips involuntarily jerked. The pleasure almost made me want to cry. My prostate was also being teased, which caused my hips to tense and lift. It seemed to me that I was feeling it more easily than before. ...I think it might have been because I was fucked a lot while I was unconscious. He kept on hitting my prostate, which was particularly sensitive. It felt so good that my vision blurred with tears. I couldn''t help but gasp as pleasure rushed from my core. It felt so good that it made me feel light-headed. "Haa... Luca, ah, mmm... I''m, I''m..." "Yeah, you''re all debauched and wet. You''re finally ready, I believe. Hey, Zagan, can I go in? Can you hold onto your legs and open your naughty ass-pussy for me?" He whispered softly as he continued to stimulate my insides, encouraging me. I couldn''t do anything except nod my head in desperation. I needed it fast. Otherwise, I would cum. I didn''t want to find my release before Luca could enter me. I wanted to cum while properly feeling him inside me. He pulled his fingers out, but I felt like my anus was still agape. I was gasping for air. I wondered if this was because I had been fucked by Luca every day. Although it couldn''t be helped, I felt a pang of shame as my body had become so lewd without my knowledge. However, Luca was looking down at this lewd me with flushed cheeks and an aroused expression. His glossy blue eyes were so beautiful that my heart fluttered. I lifted the back of my knees and bared my ass to Luca. He was watching me. I was embarrassed, yet I also felt happy that I was turning him on. "Ngh... Luca, hurry up." "My lovely Zagan. You''ve done so well. I''ll put it right in." Luca held my thighs, and his big, hot penis plunged into me. It felt so good that I practically gobbled up the tip. In, I want it in already. "Ahh... ngh-haa... ah... uh..." With a small pop, his penis breached my sphincter. It continued to bury itself a little deeper and spread my walls open. It felt so good that my hips trembled. "Haa, ah... mmm... ugh¡ª" "Haa... Zagan, ngh..." "Ah, ah...? ...?" He slowly and completely filled me with a deep thrust, and the pressure I felt from having his penis buried in me felt inexplicably good, making me tighten up a lot. Inside me, Luca''s penis was throbbing. It felt good¡ª it felt so good. I like it¡ª I like it. I like Luca. "Haa, you''re so lewd. And you''re so tight. Ngh... It feels so good inside you, Zagan. Does it feel good?" "Ngh...?, ah¡ª ngh...?" I wanted to reply that it did feel good, but my lips only moved wordlessly; I couldn''t express any coherent statement. I was on the verge of my climax, and I couldn''t stop it. I was overwhelmed. Tears trickled down my face. It felt so good to be connected with Luca. I was also incredibly happy to feel Luca inside me. To be embraced by him... "Your eyes are so beautifully teary, too. So cute. You are so cute when you cum a lot. Though your magical power hasn''t recovered yet, so the hearts aren''t coming out. But I can tell that you''re enjoying it, Zagan." "...ngh, ah... ahh...?" As I nodded in admiration, he stroked my head and placed his palm on my cheek. Then he kissed me on the corner of my eye. "Even while we''re having sex, you''re looking at me. I''m so happy. ...I''m really, really glad." "Mmm, ah... Luca, I like you." "Fufu... Yeah. Me too, I love you." He looked like he was about to cry, and I immediately wanted to comfort him. I somehow managed to get some words out. Then, Luca smiled and let out a single tear. The sight of him was so beautiful that it made my chest tighten with tenderness. The feeling of being loved welled up in me over and over. On impulse, I reached out and hugged Luca. Cheek to cheek, I could feel his tears. I patted his head, and he embraced me tightly, burying his face in my shoulder as if he wanted to be pampered. So cute. Luca always called me cute, but today he was incredibly cute. I wanted to see more of his cuteness, so I tensed up to put more pressure on my lower abdomen and hips to excite his penis in my ass. Then, a hot exhale escaped from Luca. He looked so adorable. But I also felt it, and my hips were shaking. "Ngh... Zagan, can I move now?" Luca looked up at me and asked anxiously. So I nodded, to which he smiled happily. "You used to be aloof and sometimes reluctant, but now you are accepting it with open arms." That may have been the case. I think I used to be confused about how I felt about having sex with Luca. My shame had often outweighed my pleasure. I was afraid that I would get used to being fucked and become a slut, even though I was a man. However, Luca was happy whenever I felt pleasure¡ªthat he was the one who had turned my body into this. "...Yeah, if you like my lewd self, Luca, then there is no need to reject it..." "Of course, I love you. Fufu, let''s enjoy ourselves together, yeah?" Slowly his hips began to move. I felt his penis pull out a little, spreading the pleasure just as it left my colon. I shuddered, and then he buried himself in me again, scrambling my insides. Then he pulled his hips back again, causing my anus to clench tightly. "Ah...haa...uh...ngh..." "Ugh...Zagan, you''re so tight...Haa, feels so good." Luca was enjoying it, and it felt incredibly good to me too. I felt like I was about to reach my limit, and my body started to tense, especially when he teased me from behind. It felt good. It felt really good. "Haa, Zagan... ngh... mmm..." "Ah, aah... Luca... ugh... haa..." Not only did it feel good when he plunged into my deepest parts, but it also felt wonderful to have my anus spread wide open and have my walls rubbed. Every time he drilled into my core, my hips would buckle from the stimulation to my insides. I was so overwhelmed by these sensations that I felt myself tightening around his penis, but it still gouged even further into my ass as if to kiss the back of my colon. The pleasure overflowed. It felt too good. Oh no, not again, I''m, I''m... "Ah, ahh, ah... Ngh¡ª?!" I climaxed and clamped down on Luca''s penis with a gasp. It felt good. It felt incredibly good. The pleasure rushing through my entire body made me quiver all over, from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. "Nghhhh... aah, haa...¡ª?" "Ah... ah, haa... amazing, so tight... mmm... ngh¡ª" Luca moaned and ejaculated as his penis was buried deep inside me. His hot semen flowed out like a torrent. As soon as that happened, Luca''s magical energy rushed throughout my whole body. I was overcome by an intense feeling of pleasure. It was hot; it felt good. My vision flickered, and I felt lightheaded. "Aah, ah... ngh¡ª? ¡ª?" I tried to relax my lower abdomen to stop myself from trembling, but I could still feel the size of his penis in my core, and I couldn''t help but clench on it. Moreover, even though he was in the midst of cumming, he kept thrusting slowly. I could not stop myself from shaking from the sensation of the mana that was being released as it coated my walls. I wanted to come again. "Ah... mmm... ngh, ah¡ª?" "Un, Zagan, you''re so cute. See, you''re getting all mushy with my seed, becoming more and more mine." "Ah... I''m already, yours... ah..." "...yeah, that''s right. Every inch of you is mine. Fufu, only mine. My Zagan." His forehead pressed against mine and he replied happily. When Luca was happy, it made me feel happy too. It filled me with love. "I like you, Luca." When I expressed my overflowing feelings, Luca nodded happily and gave me a sweet kiss.

Luca''s penis was currently inside me. He had already ejaculated twice and he was now holding me from behind, occasionally moving languidly so that he could coat my insides with his semen. My back and hips were pressed tightly against Luca''s body, and my legs were intertwined with his. He also covered my lower abdomen, which was filled with magical energy, with his palm and gently rubbed it. I breathed out a relaxed sigh at the warmth. My body and mind were content, and my head was hazy from Luca''s mana coursing through my body, along with the gentle pleasure of having his penis buried in my core. "Haa, you''re tightening so hard inside Zagan. It feels so good to just be engulfed by you." "Mmm...Luca...ahh...mm..." I, too, felt good. I have already come many times, and just the pressure of being filled up was enough to make my hips shake. It also caused me to tighten up, making me writhe even more. It felt good. So good, but... "Fufu. Zagan, your hips are shaking. Have you noticed that you''re pushing your hips against me?" "Ah...ah, t-that''s...nghhh~?." Of course, I was aware of that. Simply having Luca buried inside me wasn''t enough, so my hips were rocking against him. I wanted him to push deeper, to slide against my walls. I needed him to stimulate my prostate more too. But when he pointed it out, I felt embarrassed. "You''ve already cum a lot, yet you''re squirming so much; it''s so cute. Hey, Zagan. Do you like it when I put my penis in your naughty asspussy?" "Mmm...ah, I...like it..." I nodded obediently as he caressed my lower abdomen, which caused Luca to chuckle happily. He then pinched my nipples. "Then what about here? Do you like having your nipples played with?" He gently kneaded them; a weak pleasure welled up in me. The stimulation was so frustrating that I found myself moving my upper body in an attempt to escape. In doing so, I pressed my hips against Luca''s, causing my body to arch. "N-aah...ah..no...ngh." "No? Even though you seem to be enjoying it this much?" "Ngh...it, feels...ah...good, but...I''ll...tighten up...ahh..." "I see. So, then, I guess I can''t touch you here either?" This time, he grabbed my penis loosely. Of course, it felt good, and as a man, being touched there should feel the best, but I wanted something more. "Ngh, no...not when...ah...you aren''t moving..." "Zagan...Oh, you''re too cute~." I was surprised to feel his penis swell inside my core. When I checked Luca''s face to see if anything was wrong, I found that he had a troubled, but incredibly happy expression on his face. The mere fact that he smiled so softly at me made my heart skip a beat. It also made my insides tingle. He drew his lips closer and kissed me on the cheek, then on the lips. The gentle touch warmed my heart and filled me with happiness. So, I kissed him back, causing him to giggle and smile. He kissed me a few times and then licked my lips. I opened my mouth at his urging, and his tongue immediately slipped in. The tips of our tongues brushed against each other; a steady feeling of pleasure welled up in me. It felt good having our tongues entwined. Just his tongue alone was enough to make me feel so good. Kissing Luca felt wonderful. I like you. I like you, Luca. "...Mmm...ah...haa...mm..." "...Mmm...ngh-haa...Zagan..." "Ah...ahh...ngh..." As our lips parted, his hips slowly began to move, and he nipped me on the lips while he thrust deep inside me. That was enough to make my own hips bounce, earning a delighted smile from Luca. His penis slid out and was soon buried deep again, slowly, splitting open my insides. After bottoming out, he moved languidly. The semen from his prior ejaculations was being stirred in, and I could hear a slurping sound. Ah, oh, that felt good. It felt so good. "Aah...ngh...mmm...ugh..." "Haa... You''re so cute, Zagan. You like having your insides pounded, don''t you?" Luca exhaled pleasantly while he asked me if I liked it. He had already asked me several times last night, but I wondered if he just wanted to be sure. Sure that I liked having sex with him and that I liked whatever he did to me. Maybe he was holding back until I told him that I liked it on my own. I didn''t like it when people said they only liked others for sex. "Yeah...ah...I, like it...ngh~?" When I nodded my head and told him that I enjoyed it, he hugged me tightly as if he was overcome with emotion and proceeded to tease my insides further. Whenever he buried himself deep inside me, he would rub my anus and prostate, and when he drilled me hard to my very core, I would feel an unbearable rush of pleasure. "Luca, Luca...ahh...ngh...I-I...like...I like...you...ah, ah..." I was being rocked violently, penetrated deep into my ass repeatedly, and subjected to a tremendous amount of pleasure. I was overwhelmed by how intense it was. My whole body was twitching, and tears were spilling out. It feels good, so good. I''m- I''m gonna- "Aah...cumming...Luca...ah, ah, nghhhh--?!" "Haa...Zagan...ugh-!" I felt a burst of pleasure. My back arched, and I tightened around Luca''s penis, squeezing it hard. Then I felt semen pouring deep inside me, and my body trembled even more. It was hot. Luca''s seed made me feel like mush, and the crackling light mana added to the pleasure. I loved this particular moment so much. I could feel Luca deep inside me, and I could tell from his magical energy that he was happy that I was his. The feeling of being loved filled my heart. "Ah, aah, ngh-?...--?" "...Haa...ugh...ha...ah..." Luca''s uneven breath echoed in my ear. I really enjoyed listening to it. It was so charming and husky, and it made my insides tingle. Plus, I could tell that he enjoyed my body. That Luca felt so good inside this body that it made him come. "Ah...mmm...Luca, I like...I like you...?" "Me, too... I love you too, Zagan." Luca gently stroked my lower abdomen, which was full once again, as he moved slowly, coating all of my insides with his semen. I had just come, but because he did that, I experienced a second, minor orgasm. As I was trembling, he kissed my cheek that was wet with tears. He kissed the corner of my eye, which was ticklish, causing me to let out a small laugh, which made Luca smile happily. My heart was filled with joy. I was so happy. Then, with his penis still embedded in my ass, he took his time enjoying the feeling of me contracting around him again. --------------------- The next morning, the sky was clear. As usual, Luca woke up earlier than I did, but he seemed to have slept well and looked better, probably because he felt refreshed after being physically connected with me. After relaxing a bit, I got dressed and went into the living room. I exchanged morning greetings with the girls, and once we had all eaten breakfast together, it was time to see Luca and the others off on their way to the dungeon. "Be careful, everyone!" "Okay. Noel, be good to your brother~." "Noel-san, please don''t wash the dishes after eating; leave them in the magic bag. If you have to clean them, just try not to drop them." "I-I know, Bennett. It''s gonna be okay!" "...oh, I''m worried..." Wait a minute, was Noel not very good at cleaning up? She was good at making tea and supposedly good at sewing too. Was she just a bit of a klutz? Anyway, I wouldn''t want her to break anything, so I''ll do the cleaning. While I was watching the girls and renewing my resolve, Luca, who had finished his final check, hugged me. He wrapped his arms around me so gently that I couldn''t help but lean into him. Then he caressed my head, which was resting on his shoulder and pressed his lips to mine. "Zagan, if anything happens, please call me immediately. Don''t leave the house until you are completely healed, okay?" "I know. I won''t do anything to worry you, I promise." "Yes, I trust you. Please be careful." "...You too." When I looked up, my eyes met his. So, I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. "T-Take care..." The moment I said it, my cheeks heated up. Even though I did it myself, why was I the one embarrassed? In addition, Luca didn''t seem to be expecting it and stood frozen in a daze. I can''t stand it, so please respond already! Ugh, I''m so embarrassed. Even my ears are getting hot. "Ah... Z-Zagan kissed me goodbye...Ahh I can''t! You''re too cute!" When he finally responded, he tightened his hold on me, which was quite painful. But I was relieved that he was happy. I was glad I had the courage to try it. As Luca was hugging me, I was very quiet due to feeling embarrassed. Suddenly there was a loud thud, and Luca''s arms loosened. "Ouch! Hey, Miranda, you could have been a little more gentle." "How long are you going to hug each other? We have to go already!" "Yeah. It''s great that you guys are so lovey-dovey, but if you keep this up, we won''t be going anytime soon." Apparently, Miranda had slapped him on the back, but Luca didn''t want to let me go. This time though... "Luca, that''s enough!" Camilla poked him in the side with her large wand. After several more pokes and whacks, Luca finally pulled away from me. Miranda immediately grabbed his arm, and Camilla pushed him along by the back. "As usual, Miranda and Camilla are relentless~. Well, Zagan, we''re off!" "...Take care." "Take care, everyone!" "Goodbye-!" Noel and I waved back at them as they walked away.

He was definitely angry if you asked me. But I didn''t know why. Did I do something wrong? Or was it because I didn''t do something? "...Is it because I didn''t return your kiss earlier?¡± "Hmmm. It''s rather cute, though. Instead of refusing to do it in front of everyone, you just look up at me and make it easier for me to kiss you." .... "Nooo~, don''t try to run away. I won''t be letting go of you until tomorrow, okay?" I tried to pull away as quickly as I could, but he put his arms around me in an embrace. Ugh, how embarrassing. "Fufu, you''re so cute when you''re all red." Moreover, he pointed out my embarrassment just to push me further. I grabbed my hood and hid my eyes to escape from the shame. Then, he kissed me on the cheek through the gap. I couldn''t help it and buried my face in Luca''s chest, and he laid his cheek on my head while he stroked my back. Luca''s warmth was cosy and comforting; it made me feel very at home. He seemed to give up on questioning me after my subconscious embrace, and he let out a small sigh. "I haven''t seen you in two weeks, Zagan. And we didn''t get to touch each other last night because we ate and drank until it was too late. I wanted to spend the morning with you today, but you went away with Miranda. How mean, Zagan..." Well, come to think of it, I was worried about Luca''s condition and recommended he go to the dungeon. I had forgotten all about it as we talked on the communication device every morning and night. Maybe it was because I was fully recovered. Moreover, I was so full of the delicious taste of dragon meat last night and had been drinking so much that I fell asleep as soon as I got into bed. Therefore, I didn''t know when Luca went to bed, and I didn''t even check this morning to see if he had slept well since I was still groggy when I woke up. I had forgotten about it in the first place. To top it all off, I accepted Miranda''s offer, leaving Luca alone after not seeing him for two weeks. It was my bad, no matter how one looked at it. "I''m sorry, Luca." Upon my sincere apology, he kissed me on the forehead and looked me in the eye. "I know it isn''t your fault, Zagan. It was Miranda who asked you this morning, and I should have accepted that too. She seemed to be having a hard time during our dungeon diving." So that was it. I hoped that confronting me would relieve some of her troubles in a way, but... well, if she could drink and complain that much, I was sure she would be fine. "But no matter the reason, you neglected me, Zagan, right? So, I hope you''ll let me punish you plenty. I even got the log cabin just for us. Surely you will accept, right?" In other words, he wanted to have sex. He said we would be back by tomorrow evening. So, we will be here until then. Although I was a little uneasy about the idea of punishment, I agreed because I wanted to be touched by Luca, too. I tidied up the table and chairs, reset the magic barrier, and gave Luca a tour of the log house. I also hung the attic futon that Noel had been using on the balcony. I won''t be able to retrieve it until tomorrow afternoon, but it should be fine. Probably. "The attic sure is exciting, right? Maybe it''s because the ceiling is slanted and there¡¯s a skylight. I''d love to have sex here, but Noel used this room." "...I would appreciate it if you stop right there. I wouldn''t be able to concentrate on you with Noel''s face popping up in my head." "I agree. I want to fill your thoughts and body with just me, so let''s have sex in the room you used, Zagan." At my nod, Luca chuckled happily and rubbed his cheek against me. I led him downstairs, showing him into my bedroom, where he immediately kissed me, not just lips on lips, but full-on tongue. I liked the gentle, careful exploration of his tongue as if he were trying to appease me, making my tongue tingle with pleasure. Drunk from the sensation of our tongues tangling and the magic that came with our saliva, he held me by the waist and slowly pushed me down on the bed. Once our lips parted, he kissed me all over my face, from my forehead, eyes, and cheeks, to the tip of my nose. I laughed a little because it tickled, which made Luca chuckle happily. While touching each other, we proceeded to take off the protective gear we were wearing until we were completely naked. The comfort of Luca''s warmth I felt directly on my bare skin caused my breath to leave me. When he hugged me and wrapped me in his arms, our penises, already erect, touched each other. That alone made me tremble. Luca stared at me with dazzlingly narrowed eyes. His lustful blue irises were so beautiful and charming. He caressed my back, stroked my ass, and tenderly rubbed me while kissing me. Luca seemed to be focused on stroking my anus, so I started to move and entwine my tongue with his. Slowly, slowly, so that I could feel Luca as much as possible. Our saliva gradually mixed together, and I could hear the wet sound it was making. It was so good that I could hear my voice leaking out. "Ngh, n...fu...mmm...ngh-haa. Ah...aah." His fingers delved into my ass, and I couldn''t help but part our lips. Then Luca let out a giggle. "Your ass-pussy is twitching, Zagan. It''s as naughty and cute as ever, but I think it''s getting a little tight." "Ah, ngh...fuh, ah, ngh...Luca..." I haven''t touched it myself for the past two weeks, so it was no wonder it was getting tighter. Whenever Luca invited me to have sex with him, I also wanted to. However, when he didn''t, my sex drive wasn''t really there. Perhaps it was because I usually consumed magical energy while searching for any signs in my surroundings. I didn''t feel like touching my own anus in the first place, because it was a place that only Luca could touch, even if it was my body. His fingers moved around, stimulating my anus. It felt good. As I shivered from the soft stimulation, Luca kissed my nipple. He licked it as if scooping it up with his tongue, and after sucking on it, he rolled it around with the tip of his tongue. He repeatedly sucked and kneaded, and I couldn''t help but arch my body as I felt it. Then the finger in my ass slipped out, and my anus closed up, causing a slight pleasure to run up and down my spine. I felt a little more comfortable as the sensation of being filled was gone... However, soon after, the finger was back again. Furthermore, it seemed to have been lubricated, and it went deep into my hole easily because of how slippery it was. I could feel Luca''s mana, so he must have wet it with his pre-cum. The crackling light magic stimulated me from inside, and my hips bucked even more, but this time I couldn''t pull his finger out because it was embedded deep in me. "Haa...nghh...fu, ah, aah..." "Mmm... Your nipple is standing up erect. Very cute~. I''ll lick the other one too." "Ngh...ah¡­ Ah, mmm, Luca¡­ ngh." I nodded my head, and he rolled his tongue over to the other side. The raw, warm feeling was pleasant. My prostate was also being pressed, and I couldn''t help but enjoy the caresses given to me from two different places. He continued to pleasure me for a while. Then, when his lips finally left my nipple, the tip of my cock was aching and tingling. My insides were also wriggling, causing Luca''s fingers to press harder. The gentle pleasure circulated throughout my entire body, and I couldn''t muster any strength. "Ha, ah...ngh, nn..." "You''re so cute, Zagan. Even the tiny hearts are showing from time to time. Your body has really healed completely. I''m glad..." "...Ngh. Sorry¡­ for worrying you¡­ ah." The finger slipped out, and then Luca kissed the tip of my penis as if to quiet my bouncing hips. Normally, he would suck my cock, but he did not do that today. Instead, he lifted his body. Was he going to put it in already? I looked over at Luca, and he smiled sweetly at me. I had a bad feeling. While I was wondering whether I should resist or not, he held me by both legs so that his penis... No, for some reason, he made me bend my knees so that they were next to my face and lifted my hips high. In addition, his light tentacles tangled around my legs and made it impossible for me to lower them. I was in a position where I could clearly see everything from my penis to my balls, perineum, and even my twitching anus. My body temperature rapidly increased in shame. "...Lu-Luca. This is very embarrassing..." "Yes. I told you I''d punish you, didn''t I? So today, I''m going to show you the inside of your naughty ass-pussy. That''s the most embarrassing thing for you, isn''t it, Zagan?" He kept smiling while saying such horrific things. If you know that already then please stop because it''s really embarrassing. But if he said it was a punishment, then that was that. "Fufu... Even if you hide your face, you can''t hide your pretty ass-pussy." "Ugh¡­ yes, but..." He went out of his way to point it out when I covered my eyes with my arms, causing my face to burn even more. "It''s repeatedly opening and closing from excitement, wanting you to look inside. Just by touching it with my finger, your puffy rim opens up. It''s so cute. The scent is so naughty and irresistible." Luca sniffed it and then went out of his way to point that out, too, to make me feel embarrassed. We had already had sex a lot, and he had seen and licked my anus numerous times. Still, shameful things are shameful. If he hadn''t put it into words, I would still be able to tolerate it. But perhaps because it was a punishment, he was being more vocal than usual. How troublesome. This position might also be a factor in making me feel more ashamed. Since Luca usually licked me from behind while I lay face down, he could see my private areas, but not my face. Most importantly, Luca was out of my sight. But now that I was on my back, Luca was inevitably in my face. Of course, if I were to shut my eyes and hide my face with my arms, I would not be able to see or be looked at as much. But when I did that, he made fun of me. Plus, it was too difficult not to look at the person I liked in the first place. And so, my eyes locked with his enchanting gaze as he buried his face in my private area, further aggravating my embarrassment. With his gaze fixed on me, he licked the rim of my anus. It felt so good that my muscles contracted. After he applied saliva to the entire rim, his tongue entered. The sensation of a foreign object being caught in my entrance made me shudder. As the tip of his tongue moved, and saliva poured inside, Luca''s mana seeped in, and my insides twitched and stirred. "Aah...ngh, Luca...ah, mmm..." It felt good to be unravelled and spread out little by little, but it also felt frustrating because he was only stimulating places far from where I needed him. I wanted Luca to fill me more deeply. I wanted him to completely fill me up, to the point of being stuffed to the brim with him. I wanted him to stop the weak stimulation. I looked at Luca while still immersed in the sensation, and then his tongue slipped out. "Fufu. Zagan, you are really cute being debauched. Plus, your ass-pussy is wider than before. I can see all the way inside. Haa... It''s so sexy twitching like that." He spread it from side to side with his fingers and even observed the inside of my hole. I was too embarrassed to cry, but I was also happy because I was sure that Luca liked it. However, even so, when he kept looking at it for so long, the embarrassment and lack of pleasure made my head spin. "Ah, ah¡­ Lu-Luca¡­ that..." "Hmm? What''s wrong, Zagan? So many hearts are flying out of your eyes. Do you want me to eat you out again?" As I thought his lips covered my anus to continue, he blew air into my insides, instead. "Hiee¡­ W-what¡­ ah¡­ ngh." When his lips pulled away, he immediately plugged me up with his finger. Then, with a woosh and a deep inhale, he blew into my insides again. Air filled me, and my abdomen swelled up. The stimulation of his blowing made me jumpy, and by the time he did it three or four times, my belly was a little swollen. Moreover, even though the pressure was painful, he still tried to blow in more. "N-No...Luca, ah...I-I can''t anymore...ngh-!" "Ah, you''re crying. You''re really cute when you cry from fear, Zagan." I wasn''t scared, and I was not crying! I was just confused by this somewhat unfamiliar sensation, and my tears started to flow. I was too proud to admit it inwardly. A few seconds later, his fingers, which had been blocking my anus, withdrew. I heard a sound similar to someone letting go of a balloon full of air¡­ The air was coming out while making a silly sound. It was so embarrassing that my face burned hot, and tears were spilling out. Every time I heard the sound of air escaping, tears fell from my eyes from shame. "U-Ugh...n-no... this..." "Cute. Zagan, you''re really cute." "...Ugh...hngh..." Luca looked down at me with an ecstatic expression on his face. Wasn''t he even worse than usual today? No, I knew it was because I was being punished¡­ In the meantime, I wanted to escape anywhere Luca wouldn¡¯t be able to see me. But as I was dying of shame, the tentacles entangled around my legs let go. The bedding that had been under my waist was moved beneath my ass. I was now in a much more comfortable position. I let out a sigh of relief. Then Luca leaned over and kissed the wet corners of my eyes. "I''m sorry for teasing you. I love you, Zagan." "Nn...I forgive you. I love you too, Luca." When I returned his words, Luca giggled happily. As I stared at Luca''s happy expression, he caressed my head and combed my hair. He also kissed my hair. He was touching my black hair, which was usually shunned, in such a loving way. After kissing me on the lips, he held my legs, his penis positioned against me. "...Ah, mmm...ngh, ah..." He entered my hole with a thrust. It spread me completely, rubbing my walls as he snugly embedded himself deep inside. It was hot. And so big. Ah, oh, no. It has been a long while since I was penetrated this deep. "Aah, ah¡­ I''m gonna cum¡­ ah, nn--?!" The tremendous pleasure rapidly coursing through my body caused me to strain my lower abdomen in an attempt to block it somehow. It made my penis clench even more, and I came hard. My hips were twitching and convulsing. The heat was circling my whole body, probably because I came without ejaculating. It felt good, so good. "Aah...ngh...haa...?" "Haa, it''s tightening up so much. I almost let go. ...Fufu, you came just from me putting it in. There are a lot of tiny hearts popping out too. Cute. Zagan is so cute." "Ah, ngh... No, Luca. If you move...ah...even though I just came¡­ ngh-ah..." "Yeah, that feels good. I feel really good, too." He kissed the corner of my eye to placate me, and then he stirred my insides loosely. It felt good to be stimulated in such a tight spot and even more pleasurable to be coated with Luca''s mana, leaking from his tip. Little by little, Luca''s movements intensified, teasing my colon as he thrust his glans in and out. Luca also let out a pleasant sound as I squeezed him tight. "Fuah...Ah, ngh...Luca, aah...ah-" "Nn, Zagan¡­ You''re wriggling so nicely¡­ feels so good¡­ ah, ngh." It was growing more and more intense. Luca was thrusting into my core and rubbing my prostate. My whole body convulsed as if broken by the intense pleasure he was giving me. It felt so good. Luca, I love you, I love you. "Ngh¡­ Zagan, I''m also¡­ going to cum..." "Nngh, fu¡­ Ah...ah, mmm..." When I gasped and nodded my head, he kissed me on the cheek. Then, he moved even harder. He pushed deep into me, rubbing my walls, and then pulled out. My thin core was gouged out again, widening it. Soon, he buried himself deep inside me with great force. It felt good. Oh, God. It felt really good. "Ahhh, ah, I''m cumming¡­ ah, ahhh--?!" "Ngh...haa¡­ Ah-!" This time I ejaculated as I climaxed. My whole body convulsed as hot semen was pumped deep inside me, causing my insides to clench up. Luca''s hot semen and crackling light mana caused me to succumb to overwhelming pleasure. It enveloped me in a sense of bliss. "Ahhh, ah¡­ Ah, ngh¡­ Luca...?" "Haa...ah, Zagan..." My insides were stirring as if indulging in Luca''s mana. The light mana that permeated me was so comforting, so lovely, so intoxicating. It was even more so because Luca was moving his hips loosely as if he were trying to coat me with it. As I was feeling Luca buried in me, my whole body slackened and lost its strength, and he brushed back my sweaty hair that was sticking to my forehead. He also kept kissing me all over my face. I couldn''t help but smile because it was so ticklish. Then Luca raised his head and looked down at me dazzlingly. "Zagan, you''re so cute. Lots of hearts are popping too, making you even cuter." "Un...it''s all right now. ...Luca. I''m so grateful to you for saving my life." Upon thanking him, Luca smiled, even though he looked like he was about to cry. It was a little pitiful, yet also a very beautiful smile. CH 44.1 Chapter 44 (Part 1) NSFW As I accepted his soft kisses, I savoured the warmth and weight of Luca, who was riding on top of me. In the midst of that, the penis inside me regained its vigour and once again stirred and ejaculated within me. When evening fell, we closed the curtains and entered the bath. Although the tub was a tad too small to fit the both of us at the same time, I soaked myself in the warm water as I leaned against Luca, who was hugging me from behind. I was tickled by his loving caresses on my lower abdomen, which was filled with his mana. When I put my head on his shoulder as if to snuggle up against him, he kissed me lightly. Then he played with my nipples and put his penis inside me again. When I trembled with pleasure, he whispered to me lovingly about how cute I was, and my lower abdomen throbbed sweetly, as if agreeing to his sweet nothings. After bathing and eating dinner, we went back to bed. I felt the warmth of our bare skin against each other. He stroked me here and there, and kissed me a lot. Luca''s penis once again grew hard and he inserted it inside, ejaculating deep within me, filling my insides with his semen. I was filled to the brim with Luca''s mana. It felt really good. Before I knew it, I felt sleepy in his comfortable, yet strong arms. I whispered goodnight. But I did not fall asleep right away and buried my face in his chest. After a while, I heard him breathing in his sleep above me, and finally I fell asleep too. The next morning when I woke up, Luca was still sleeping. He must have used up a lot of energy embracing me yesterday. I swiftly extended my tentacles and opened the curtains a little to let some light into the room. Luca''s face was brighter than before, and I could see him more clearly. It had been a long time since I had seen his sleeping face. I was really glad he could sleep properly now. He seemed to be sleeping so soundly that he did not react even when I stirred. Being careful not to wake him up, I got out of the covers and leaned back against the cushions to take another look at Luca''s face. His face was peaceful and innocent. When he was awake, he was way too handsome and sparkling, but perhaps it was because he tried so hard to pamper me, I didn¡¯t even feel that he was actually the younger one. However, his sleeping face betrayed his youth and looked cute. Was this what one would call gap moe? I gently stroked his head and brushed my fingers through his shining blonde hair. It felt nice and silky to the touch, as always. I would never stroke a prince''s head in public {ED: Ahaha he says this like it''s something dirty...}. But then if he asks me if a kiss in public is fine, I''d be at a loss to answer. I guess it would be okay since I wouldn''t be the one initiating it. Or so I''d like to think. Although I thought he would wake up while I was stroking his head, he didn''t wake up easily. Since I was touching his head, I thought he would slowly gain consciousness. ...No, wait. ¡°Are you, perhaps, already awake?¡± I called out to him, tugging at his blond hair pinched between my fingers. The next moment, a chuckle escaped Luca''s lips. He looked up at me with his azure eyes opened slightly and pressed his face against my side. ¡°I thought if I waited, you would kiss me, but that''s too bad.¡± I see, he was waiting for a kiss. Come to think of it, I had kissed a sleeping Luca on a whim before. Perhaps because it was the first time I had kissed him, Luca was smiling very happily then. Even after that, Luca would always be elated when I initiated a kiss. ¡°...It''s not as if... I said that I wouldn''t do it.¡± ¡°Mhmmm. Zagan is a cute tsundere today as well.¡± ¡°I''m telling you, I''m not a tsundere and I''m not cute.¡± If I say such a thing, that should discourage him. But still, seeing him look up at me with eyes brimming with expectation, I had no choice but to bring my lips close. First, my lips brushed against his forehead, leaving a soft kiss. A mirthful laugh escaped Luca''s lips. Next, the corners of his eye, his cheek, his nose and the top of his head. I slowly kissed them all, and finally our lips met. They were soft and moist. When I raised my head, Luca had a bewitched look on his face. ¡°Thank you Zagan. I love you.¡± ¡°I too...uhm. I love you too.¡±{TL/N: Something that''s lost in translation here is that both Luca and Zagan are using "aishiteru" which is a way more serious form of love than the suki that you usually see. It¡¯s just super cute seeing Zagan finally accept that he really does love Luca} When I returned the same words, albeit a little embarrassed, Luca laughed joyously and hugged me tightly around the waist. I turned my body sideways as he pulled me close, and he buried his face in my lower abdomen. ¡°I can feel my mana from Zagan''s belly. Your naughty pussy sure gulped up a lot of my seed. Fufu, you''re mine. My Zagan.¡± The morning after we had had sex two weeks ago, there was none of Luca''s mana left in my womb. That was because my mana cells hadn''t returned to normal then. That''s why Luca was so happy now that my whole body was being invaded by magical power that is as warm as the sun, and my lower abdomen had been slightly swollen since last night. I had caused him a lot of worry. I made him cry, traumatized him with the fact that I might never wake up again, and made him sleep deprived. But now, he was truly happy seeing me completely recovered. Such a Luca was really adorable. The day after the relaxing stay at the log house, we returned to the city that was part of the so-called game on the 27th. When we woke up in the morning, we all had breakfast together and Luca asked what they wanted to do that day. However, there was a precondition that he would go with me to the Adventurer''s Guild after lunch. Noel was the first to raise her hand. She wished to spar, and was soon joined by Miranda and Nina, and it was decided that Luca¡¯s morning would be spent training with the three melee characters. And in that same flow, the evening was spent training with Camilla, Bennett and Cindy¡ª the three ranged characters. While Luca was training with the heroines, I went my separate way. In the morning, I spent my time in the living room modifying the magic barrier, and after dinner, I searched the city for anyone with the dark attribute, under the cover of night. In order to gather emotions, it would be most efficient to do it in a place with many people. Besides, if they are of the dark attribute, they are more likely to be lurking in the dark of night than in the bright hours of the day. I hoped I could stop the gathering up of demonic essence in whatever way I could, but unfortunately I could not even find a single person like that. After taking a bath, I relaxed for an hour or so while Luca and I touched each other''s bare skin. At midnight, I went to sleep just like that. After spending 3 days with such a schedule, on October 30th, since it was Halloween the next day, we made preparations. In the morning, we each went out to town to look for costumes. Since it was decided to wait until the next day to see what kind of costume they would wear, everyone went on their own. The streets were completely decked out for Halloween, and many of the items sold were Halloween items, so it was fun just to look at them. Many of the items used to decorate the buildings were magical and alchemical items that not only lit up when you walked by them, but also moved suspiciously and flew through the air, quite what you''d expect from Halloween in a fantasy world. While looking at the decorations in town, I arrived at an alchemy store in a back alley and found a costume that Luca would probably enjoy, so I bought it. In the afternoon, after decorating the living room and front porch, we all carved jack-o''-lanterns. Bennett turned every one of the hollowed-out contents of the pumpkins into cakes. We couldn''t resist the delicious smell and we each picked a piece and ate it...It was really delicious. The next day, Halloween. It was a day jam packed with events all day long, even within the game. You dressed up in costumes in the morning and partied in the living room until noon. In the afternoon, you selected one heroine and went on a date in the streets on Halloween. In the evening, you returned to the mansion, where all ate a Halloween dinner and gave candy to the occasional trick-or-treating child. After that, you chose someone again to go have costume sex. We woke up in the morning and dressed up, and Luca was dressed as a vampire, just like in the game. When it comes to Vampires, the most common image associated with them is of attacking women and biting their neck to suck blood. It was quite a fitting choice for an Eroge protagonist. In my opinion, it gave off quite a princely feel. The costume he had purchased in the noble quarters was very regal and cool, and suited Luca well. The black cloak and pointed teeth made me think he was a vampire, not a prince. As for me, my costume was a simple black outfit with cat ears + cat tail, and other accessories. However, through alchemy, senses were extended from the parts where I was wearing the costume, giving them the effect of moving. When I consciously moved my ears and tail, Luca was, as expected, very pleased. He repeatedly called them cute and adorable. I didn''t mind being praised, but I wished he''d stop trying to tease me from the morning under the guise of ¡°trick or treat¡±. When I went to the living room, I found that the heroines had already gathered there in costume. Noel was an obake {TL/N: shapeshifting japanese ghost}, and she was very cute as always. If I had to pick on something, it would be that the obake dress was too short and her legs were sticking out a lot. I wonder if the white tights underneath were enough to protect her. As her brother, it had me worried. Also, Noel almost blurted out that I was cute when she saw me, but I''ll pretend it was just my imagination. We all played games and had fun while having snacks and sweets until noon, and then we left the mansion in the afternoon to enjoy the town''s Halloween celebration. Obviously, Luca invited me on a date...or rather, as soon as we left the mansion, he naturally walked alongside me and held my waist. We walked like that all the way to the town. He did not bother explicitly putting his invitation in words. We returned in the evening and enjoyed a Halloween dinner together. And in the evening, I had sex with Luca while in costume. I won''t go into details, but I will just say that I felt it more than usual because of the sensory effects on my ears and tail. {P.S. dw, the next smut chappie is exactly about this} All in all, it was a very fun event.

As our carriage neared the gate, the guards posted there recognized the royal seal and hurried to the driver¡¯s seat to confirm our identities. Their verification ended when Luca showed his face and they courteously guided us through the gate. A sort of flurried presence could be felt in the surrounding area. ¡°The lord of this city should have received a royal decree and will come to greet us so let¡¯s wait a little longer, ok?¡± Did they go out of their way to send a royal decree? No, as the second prince was visiting the city, if they hadn¡¯t sent a royal decree there might have been a dispute about who got to correspond with him. Something that could result in strife between the local nobles must be avoided. Little by little, skilled workers began to gather around the carriage. They were probably knights and mages. I could feel a nervous energy emanating from them, perhaps because a prince was visiting the city. A bit farther away, quite a large crowd was gathered as well. I could hear the sound of their chatter. However, that, too, stopped after a while. The tense air did not allow for anyone to speak. After several such minutes, a voice could be heard. ¡°Your highness Luca, a thousand apologies for making you wait. We have finished making the preparations.¡± ¡°Good work. Well then everyone, shall we get off?¡± All of us responded to Luca¡¯s instructions. First Luca descended from the carriage and then, taking his outstretched hand, I got off as well. As soon as I did, the atmosphere around us began to waver. The unrest spread far and wide. Nobody spoke, still affected by the tense atmosphere of before, but I could still feel terror coming from here and there. It was because my black hair was out in the open. Knowing full well that we were being watched, Luca stroked my black hair and kissed it lovingly. ¡°Please wait a bit with everyone.¡± I nodded and Luca headed towards the lord who had come to greet us. He was an old man with a long beard holding a large cane. Was he the head of the 11th city? Our surroundings had grown rather quiet and tense. All of a sudden Luca let his mana spill out. Perhaps to show his dignity as a prince or to keep those staring at me in check. Anyway, that was Luca¡¯s territory so I left it to him. Instead, I turned towards the carriage and offered my hand to Noel. ¡°Thank you very much Zagan-dono.¡± I nodded at the smiling Noel. Next were Cindy and Camilla. Miranda got off the carriage on her own. After confirming that we left nothing inside and that Nina and Bennet got off, Noel stored the carriage away and our preparations were complete. Then, we, a group of seven people and two horses, waited for Luca to finish with his business. Currently, the saluting knights have yet to single me out. They were here for Luca after all. Their object of attention was the second prince, who travelled around the country by order of the king. If they had turned their attention to me, it could have been considered more than just negligence on their part. The guards had a job to do as well, and their attention was elsewhere since many people had gathered in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the prince. About half of the eyes of those gathered were focused on me. It seems they were torn ¡ª should they look at the prince? Or should they look at me? I could still feel surprise, confusion, and fear coming from them, but among those feelings there were some that seemed to have morphed into malice. However, my friends were currently surrounding me and if anyone were to try something in front of the prince, they would be arrested without question. His greeting with the lord ended after about five minutes and Luca walked back to where we were standing. ¡°Sorry for making you wait. A mansion has been prepared for us this time as well, shall we go?¡± Leaving the horses in the care of one of the knights, we headed towards the lord who was waiting for us. By the way, Luca was hugging my waist. Was simply holding hands no good? Thinking that, I looked up at Luca and he just smiled in return. So we couldn¡¯t? The situation was embarrassing but it couldn¡¯t be helped. I somehow managed to swallow my shame as we neared the old man and he narrowed his eyes in a gentle smile. ¡°To think this person is His Highness Luca¡¯s fianc¨¦? Ho ho ho, there have been rumors for quite a time now. I am called Modeste.¡± ¡°Zagan¡­¡± I answered his light greeting. From what I could tell, the man was a mage and had a huge amount of mana. Probably even more than Camilla. He had most likely lived a long life while training hard. Still, what did he mean by rumors? ¡°Marquess Modeste, what are these rumors you mentioned?¡± Luca asked, apparently curious as well. The marquess began to slowly walk, stroking his beard. ¡°It was mentioned in a newspaper article that Duke Magnifique of the 9th city personally wrote. He clearly stated that His Highness¡¯s fianc¨¦ is a man with the dark attribute. It would be faster to confirm the details yourself ¡ª I¡¯ll bring you the paper.¡± The marquess beckoned to one of the accompanying mages and told them something. Probably the location of the newspaper. I could hear the words ¡°my study.¡± The mage nodded and ran off somewhere. ¡°Fufu, fianc¨¦ he says. It makes me happy Zagan.¡± Luca managed to kiss my hair even while walking. As he did, I could feel the agitation of the knights walking alongside us and the surprised stare on my head from the women who wished to catch Luca¡¯s eye. Albeit only slightly, but the malice I had previously felt also turned into unrest. I was happy if it was for my sake, but still, wasn¡¯t Luca overdoing it? Walking side by side would have been good enough. Miranda and Camilla let out a sigh and the old marquess laughed ho ho ho. Guh, I want to bury myself. ¡°In any case, it was an article published by one of the four grand dukes who safeguard the royal family. The article also included the attack on the young lady from the Brady County and caused quite a stir. It seems Brady-dono went on a rampage in the royal capital.¡± ¡°Father did? Ah¡­ pardon me.¡± It seemed the marquess had also heard the murmur that came from Noel who was walking behind me. He stopped in his tracks and turned around to face her. His face then creased into a smile. ¡°Do not worry Brady ojou-san. I am glad to see that you are doing fine.¡± ¡°Thank you for your concern.¡± Noel bowed her head and the old marquess began walking once again, using his cane. The rest of us continued as well, matching his slow pace. ¡°Well, I can understand Brady-dono¡¯s outrage. Though the lady in question tried to kill someone, there are many who say that her sentence should be lightened. They say she only attacked a man with the dark attribute and that Brady ojou-san who tried to protect him was also at fault. They also say that it is ridiculous to claim that that man is His Highness¡¯s fianc¨¦.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t¡­ Aren¡¯t they just picking a fight!¡± ¡°Undoubtedly so. Their goal, at any rate, is to dye Zagan-dono as evil and to prevent him from becoming engaged with His Highness. They plan to offer their own children for the position since His Highness Luca¡¯s partner, the partner of the crown prince¡¯s sword, would have a close relationship with the royal family.¡± I see. In other words, this was because Luca, as the younger brother of the future king, would continue to bear the surname Soleil unlike his younger siblings, who would take on the name of their groom once married? ¡°It has been decided long ago that the crown prince¡¯s partner would be chosen from amongst the four ducal families. On the other hand, His Highness Luca is free to choose anyone as his partner, which is why such trouble has started to unfold behind the scenes. Greed is such an ugly thing.¡± ¡°Fufu. They truly are foolish. It¡¯s also of no help to them that they¡¯re ignoring my wishes. Still, I would never choose anyone other than Zagan. Also, it doesn¡¯t matter what those people say. It¡¯s already been decided that that woman would get the death sentence. I won¡¯t let anyone who has tried to kill Zagan live. So don¡¯t worry, ok Zagan?¡± While I wasn¡¯t sure about a death sentence, I did think that the person who hurt Noel should be punished and was happy that Luca had gotten mad for my sake. But would you please stop showing your anger to the point that other people get intimidated? I could hear faint laughter coming from Bennet and Cindy behind us and the marquess was laughing again as well. CH 47.2 We arrived at the mansion and it was decided that the marquess would rest in the living room until the newspaper he had asked for arrived. Luca had instructed the others to check out the mansion and put away their stuff so, currently, only Luca and I were in the living room, sitting on the sofa with marquess Modeste. Noel had gone to the kitchen to prepare some tea. As we were gazing outside at the garden that was being dyed red by the setting sun, the old man, who¡¯d been leisurely enjoying the view, suddenly turned to look at me. ¡°Truly, seeing is believing. All those people making a fuss in the capital could only hold their tongue once they see your current fianc¨¦.¡± ¡°Right, right. No one will be able to say a word after seeing us.¡± Really? I was a dark attribute user, a man and an adventurer. Instead of keeping their mouths shut, wouldn¡¯t they curse at me like that noble lady? No¡­ that time, she used an underhanded attack first. She started cursing after Luca reproached her and the curses weren¡¯t aimed at me but at him. I couldn¡¯t understand the reason why seeing us would shut people up so I looked up at Luca sitting next to me. He just stroked my hair though. ¡°Is it because¡­ Luca will often be standing next to me?¡± ¡°Of course. No one can get between us. Fu fu fu. So cute.¡± So my conclusion was totally wrong? When I unconsciously pouted, Luca gave me a kiss on the cheek. What are you doing in front of the marquess? Perhaps because he decided that the old man bore no ill-will towards me, Luca showed no restraint in front of him. ¡°Ho ho ho. In actuality, how many mages and knights do you think you can defeat Zagan-dono? A hundred people? Two hundred? What can those nobles say against an opponent like that?¡± ¡°So you¡¯re saying that, in noble society as well, strength is what matters?¡± ¡°Simply put, yes. For example, during a debate, it is considered a crime to directly attack the opponent, but it is allowable to use mana to pressure them into silence. This is why nobles begin training from a young age ¡ª in order to withstand any sort of pressure. The noble society is one that expects you to be successful in the future based solely on the color of your hair. The saying ¡®strength is justice¡¯ isn¡¯t limited to adventurers alone.¡± I see, so that was why Luca enshrouded himself in mana in front of the crowd when he was greeting the marquess. ¡°I¡¯m sure that many will whisper behind Zagan-dono¡¯s back. There will be people who will fault you for having the dark attribute and will do anything to get rid of you. However, as you are this powerful, most of them will probably give up.¡± Among the nobles, it was allowed to pressure someone into submission. If so, then It won¡¯t be a problem even if they faint, right? Of course, I wasn¡¯t going to antagonize the nobles. My goal was to get rid of the discrimination against dark attribute users after all. At most, I would put up a magic wall if someone were to attack me directly. ¡°The tea is ready.¡± Noel entered the living room with the tea on a tray. She placed the cups and the milk on the table and sat down across from me. ¡°Thank you, Brady ojou-san. Hm, it¡¯s gotten quite cold out, hasn¡¯t it? This warm drink really hits the spot.¡± Mn, the tea made by Noel was delicious today as well. It was delicious just because my sister gave it to me. Noel peeked at me nervously as I sipped on the tea. ¡°You seemed somewhat concerned when you heard the word ¡®fiance,¡¯ but Zagan-dono, are you and Luca planning on getting married when we get to the capital? If you are, then you might have to attend a party hosted by the king. Of course, attending a party doesn¡¯t mean you have to dance, but I think it would be better to practice a bit so the other attendees won¡¯t ridicule you.¡± (Noel) ¡°Marriage¡­¡± Come to think of it, I wonder when this marriage was supposed to take place? I couldn¡¯t imagine it at all. Also, getting married meant having a family. Me? Have a family¡­? This dark attribute user? I tilted my head, incapable of putting the image of me and a family together in my mind. Luca looked at me in panic when I did so. Noel was shocked as well. What¡¯s wrong with them? ¡°Eh¡­ um, Zagan, you¡¯ll be with me for the rest of my life, right?¡± ¡°Of course. That¡¯s why I¡¯m working to end the discrimination. So that you, who say you love me, won¡¯t be insulted for choosing a dark attribute user. So that your heart can always be at peace. So that we can always be together.¡± ¡°Thank you, Zagan. I love you.¡± Luca answered, hugging me and nuzzling his cheek against my head. His embrace made me feel safe and happy. ¡°T-that¡¯s right. Ending the discrimination comes first. My apologies, Zagan-dono, I got ahead of myself.¡± (Noel) ¡°I apologise as well. It took Zagan five months in the first place to answer my confession and not even a month has passed since then. I was being a bit hasty. Sorry for rushing you. We¡¯ll do everything at your pace Zagan ¡ª slowly and calmly moving forward.¡± I didn¡¯t know why one was apologizing to me and the other was cheering me on, but I nodded anyway. Both of them exhaled in relief. They got along quite well, huh? ¡°Ho ho ho. You don¡¯t have to go out of your way to conform to social conventions just to be together, you know? Rather, you hold strong feelings for each other so why don¡¯t you try attending a party hosted by a noble and learn from the experience? If you would allow me, I could host a modest ball. What do you think? His Highness Luca, Zagan-dono, ojou-san and the rest of your party would all be invited.¡± ¡°I appreciate it. By all means, please do. Zagan, we¡¯ll dance together at the ball, right? Let¡¯s practice together, ok?¡± Since Luca invited me so happily, I could only agree. It made him giggle with joy which made me happy as well. ¡°However, an art festival will be held in the city from the 10th and I¡¯ll be quite busy for a time after that. I will only be able to host the ball at the end of the month. Would that be acceptable?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind. We¡¯ve only just arrived and we¡¯ll be going into the dungeon from the 11th. Usually someone will finish it by the 25th and everyone will be ejected from the dungeon, so please schedule the ball for a date after that.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s decide on the evening of the 29th. Your highness Luca, for the sake of the kingdom please do your best.¡± Luca nodded and marquess Modeste grabbed his cane and slowly stood up. The presences I could feel near the mansion were probably his servants. We all moved towards the entrance of the mansion and arrived just in time to meet the mage who had been sent to retrieve the newspaper. We then saw the marquess off as he left together with the knights who¡¯d been waiting outside on standby. ¡°I¡¯m already looking forward to the party! I¡¯ll go tell the others!¡± Noel seemed very chipper. Will she be wearing a dress in light blue? Hmm¡­ now that they mentioned it, in the game the November events were the art festival on the 10th and the ball on the 29th. Though I couldn¡¯t remember a scenario like earlier where the protagonist talked to the marquess and he offered to host a ball. In reality, however, that was what happened. I too was an irregularity in this scenario. ¡°What is it, Zagan? What are you anxious about?¡± Perhaps because I was looking at the newspaper we¡¯d received absentmindedly, but Luca glanced at my face, his eyebrows scrunched in worry. I wondered whether I should tell him or not, but¡­ I didn¡¯t want to make Luca sad. ¡°Nothing. I was just thinking about if we¡¯re really going to save the goddess Lune.¡± Even though I was still alive, it was possible that the future wouldn¡¯t change, that we wouldn¡¯t be capable of straying beyond the Akashic records no matter how much we struggled. Witnessing the compelling force of the game scenario once again after such a long time made me a bit anxious. ¡°We¡¯ll definitely save her¡­ Definitely. As long as Zagan is by my side.¡± Luca hugged me from behind, saying these firm words. It was funny how my anxiety melted away when I heard him say that. Even though his words had no basis. Thank you, Luca. By the way, when we dance, which one of us will take the female part? Though the question was on my mind, I had a feeling I¡¯d get depressed after hearing the answer and decided that for today at least I wouldn¡¯t ask. CH 48.1 As soon as the marquess left, Bennet went into the kitchen and started making dinner. During that time, Luca and I put away the things we¡¯d used during our journey here. After dinner, we all drank some tea while reading the article that the marquess had mentioned. The article was a recap of everything Duke Magnifique had seen after the battle with the dark dragons. About how that lady had tried to kill me just because I had the dark attribute, about the surrounding knights¡¯ responses and about Luca¡¯s fury. Borrowing Luca¡¯s words ¡ª ¡°A murderer is a murderer no matter who they kill¡± ¡ª the duke also raised the question of the discrimination towards dark attribute users. He wrote that judging others exposed one¡¯s own ugly heart; that anyone who kills a dark attribute user is still guilty of killing a fellow human; that if they hurt them, they are still guilty of hurting another person, and that those who understand this should realise that they themselves are culprits. With such an article published on the front page of a national paper, it was no wonder it had caused such a stir. For one of the four duke families to come out with such an article¡­ no, maybe it worked because it came from them. ¡°Hmm. There¡¯s nothing bad written about Zagan. And it¡¯s properly written that Zagan protected the knights from the Dark Organization. Even the part when he collapsed and Luca desperately tried to heal him is mentioned. Says he¡¯s praying that fianc¨¦-dono will be ok.¡± ¡°On the other hand, the woman who attacked Noel totally became the villain. The duke wrote that not only was her conduct unbefitting of a noble, but of a human being as well. It¡¯s true that what she did was the worst, but there¡¯s not even one word in her favor, huh?¡± ¡°It¡¯s because Magnifique is from one of the four duke families. As long as Luca doesn¡¯t do something that¡¯s clearly in the wrong as a prince, the duke will protect Luca and the partner that he treasures.¡± ¡°Ummm¡­ What do you mean by that?¡± The four dukes ruled the four corners of the country as the heads of the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th cities. They were families that had been established with the founding of the kingdom. The kingdom was founded under the god Soleil approximately five thousand years ago. The first-generation king was, of course, chosen from among Soleil¡¯s descendants. The king had four friends whom he trusted deeply. They gave the king their blessings and swore an oath to Soleil to work towards the continued prosperity of the kingdom. They swore to protect and never betray the king, his consort and their offsprings and to continue to support the royal family for generations to come. As time went by, the population grew and the four friends had to leave the king¡¯s side in order to manage the far corners of the kingdom. This was also for the sake of lessening the king¡¯s burden, even if just by a little bit. Additionally, as the population continued to grow and the aristocratic class was established, the four friends¡¯ descendants were given the rank of duke that was second only to the royal family. This was how the four dukes, from each corner of the kingdom, continued to support the royal family to this day. ¡°In other words, the four duke families protect the royal family and are their constant allies.¡± ¡°Heeeh. It¡¯s amazing that they¡¯re still loyal to the royal family after thousands of years. Saying that, I¡¯ve got a feeling that they betrayed them somewhere along the line.¡± ¡°Until a thousand years ago, the god Soleil was still here, and they had sworn an oath to him. If they went against the royal family, Soleil would kill them in the blink of an eye.¡± Soleil had been gone for about a thousand years. In that time there may have been people who wished to snatch the throne. However, they held the fear that if Soleil returned and the royal family had been eradicated in his absence, he would annihilate the people of Soleil kingdom. A god was a fearsome being after all. ¡°Right right. The gods were here. Yup, the gods. Sometimes I forget they actually exist, you know?¡± Nina¡¯s eyebrows creased as she glared at the newspaper. Cindy then sighed, a troubled expression on her face. ¡°It seems that, when Soleil was here, people had a deep faith in him. Of course, belief in him still remains today as it had been accumulated over a long period of time when he was present. Also because of the Lumiere and the Evil God. Still there are those who question if he still lives today.¡± ¡°B-but, you confirmed that he¡¯s alive, right?¡± Bennet looked at me with worry and I nodded. The goddess Terre said that Soleil¡¯s barrier surrounded Soleil kingdom. Terre also became convinced that the goddess Lune was alive when she saw me. The fact that there were descendants of a god was proof that they were alive. Thus, Luca was evidence that Soleil hadn¡¯t died yet. ¡°Soleil¡­ I wonder what he¡¯s doing right now. He¡¯s not actually just sleeping, right?¡± Noel murmured. However, no one could answer her. Silence fell and for some reason I glanced at Luca. He flashed me a smile before turning his attention towards the others. ¡°For now we¡¯ll go to the adventurer¡¯s guild tomorrow and see what my esteemed brother wrote in his letter, ok? He might have figured something out. It¡¯s also possible that he has no clue. So at that time, let¡¯s reconvene and come up with a solution together.¡± As he said, there was no point in mulling over it at the moment. First things first was going to the adventurer¡¯s guild. The next day, November 6th, we all left the mansion immediately after breakfast. Even though we were just going to the adventurer¡¯s guild everyone came along because of my wish to walk side by side with them. I was truly grateful. And, since we were all already out, there was talk of putting our equipment on and going sightseeing if we had the time. By the way, since Luca tried to wrap his arm around my waist today as well, I reached for his outstretched hand and tried holding it. I intertwined my fingers with his so that we wouldn¡¯t get separated and looked at Luca to see if this was ok with him. He was covering his eyes for some reason. ¡°Too¡­ cute!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be stupid and let¡¯s go!¡± Miranda slapped Luca on the back and pushed him to start walking. Cindy and Camilla were already ahead of us so we started walking after them. I didn¡¯t really understand Luca¡¯s reaction, but he didn¡¯t try to take his hand back so this was probably ok. But, for him to be this happy and call me cute just because I held his hand¡­ wasn¡¯t he a bit too easy going? I got worried that some corrupt noble would deceive him. I must properly look after Luca so that that wouldn¡¯t happen. Pumping myself up in my head, I headed towards the adventurer¡¯s guild banner that could already be seen from where we were. Though winter was almost upon us, the streets were still dotted with fall colors. And since the art festival would be starting soon, there were decorations hung up here and there, making the streets quite lively. ¡°Uwa, how pretty.¡± ¡°It really is. It¡¯s sparkling. And what exquisite craftsmanship.¡± Noel agreed with Nina¡¯s words. They were talking about a display window decorated with glasswork. Things like flower ornaments and tiaras, all of which shone beautifully. ¡°Bennet-chan likes this kind of fluffy clothes, right?¡± (Noel) ¡°Y-yes. It looks really cute. The style is called Lolita.¡± Those clothes really were quite fluffy. Pale in color too. Next to it were a pair of pants in the same style, perhaps meant for men. I¡¯d never wear such a thing though. Why do you look disappointed Luca? ¡°The dress Miranda¡¯s looking at is also neat and cute looking.¡± (Nina) ¡°Eh, ah, uh, yeah. It¡¯s cute, isn¡¯t it? Looks like it would suit Noel or Cindy.¡± (Miranda) ¡°Ufufu. I think it would look good on Miranda-chan though.¡± (Cindy) ¡°I¡­ I-I¡¯m not interested in that kind of stuff.¡± (Miranda) ¡°Hmm. You sure?¡­..owowow.¡± (Nina) Nina peeked at the flustered Miranda in a teasing manner and, well, she brought it on herself. Noel and Bennet giggled at them. Everyone was so lively in the morning. ¡°Hm, as expected from a craft town. There are art exhibitions in the art supply stores. I think there was also a music store with posters for all kinds of performances on its wall.¡± (Camilla) ¡°That¡¯s right. That orchestra is famous enough that I heard about it in the capital. Zagan, what are you interested in?¡± Luca glanced at my face and Camilla looked up at me as well. ¡°I¡­ that automaton clock display over there.¡± ¡°Come on now. Isn¡¯t that just a magic tool?¡± (Camilla) ¡°How very Zagan-like.¡± (Luca) I only answered because they asked me what I was interested in, but Camilla sighed like she¡¯d given up and Luca chuckled, kissing my head. It couldn¡¯t be helped though, I didn¡¯t know anything about art or music. In any case, maybe because we were walking around having fun, but the people who saw me only looked surprised or confused. Luca and the others were counteracting the hatred and making fewer people shrink away from me. Really, I couldn¡¯t thank them enough. This might also be a result of Duke Magnifique¡¯s article. I knew that he only did it for Luca¡¯s sake, but I would still like to properly thank him if we ever meet again. CH 48.2 As we got closer to the adventurer¡¯s guild, which was located close to the city gate, the number of people in the streets increased. The number of eyes staring at us also increased proportionately, however most of them seemed baffled, perhaps because I was holding the prince¡¯s hand. The fact that a path opened in front of us was probably because of Luca, right? We got to the guild and though it wasn¡¯t early in the morning, it was still morning nonetheless, and there were a fair amount of people inside. These people looked our way the second we walked in because neither Luca nor I were suppressing our presence. The more skilled a person was, the better grasp they had of another¡¯s mana and strength. Both Luca and I had a vast amount of mana and a lot of power. That was why they were checking us out. They were wondering who the hell just walked in. The result was that after an initial moment of shock, people hissed or let out little shrieks and their bodies froze in fear. ¡°¡­ should we have suppressed it a bit?¡± ¡°Maybe. I feel bad for disturbing the staff in the middle of their work. Zagan and the rest, wait for me in that empty corner, ok?¡± As soon as Luca left, I could feel a number of murderous gaze directed at me. As expected of adventurers, they weren¡¯t intimidated by seeing black hair for the first time. But if they didn¡¯t toughen up, they wouldn¡¯t be able to win against me, you know. However, those that were actually any good were keeping their distance while glancing my way from time to time. By the way, Camilla had taken a large staff out of her bag for some reason and was tapping it against her palm. Miranda as well took out her halberd and let the heavy weapon hit the ground with a thud. What was up with them? I looked at them and Miranda grinned at me when our eyes met. ¡°No, this? I just thought I¡¯d let any rude people know that they¡¯re messing with the wrong person here. If I hit them I can just go ¨C ¡®sooorry, I fired by accident, teehee ¡î1¡¯¡° ¡°If anyone has any complaints, isn¡¯t it faster to just send them flying? Ah, I kind of want to take a swing now.¡± What¡¯s with this hot-blooded reaction? You¡¯re making people avoid you. Confusion doesn¡¯t even cover their reaction anymore. No, but, this much might be ok if we¡¯re talking about adventurers. ¡°I¡¯ll also protect Zagan-dono!¡± ¡°Wait Noel, don¡¯t pull out your sword. You¡¯re a knight, no?¡± I grabbed Noel¡¯s arm to stop her and she looked up at me, her cheeks puffed out. ¡°Why are you stopping me Zagan-dono? Anyway, I¡¯m still an apprentice knight. After graduating from the academy, you have to spend two years as an apprentice, training under a knight senpai. After those two years, you have to take an exam, the result of which determines whether you can be a knight or not. So I¡¯m not a knight yet.¡± ¡°You should avoid starting fights with citizens if you don¡¯t want to sully the name of your knight senpai, Luca.¡± ¡°¡­. Yes sir.¡± She answered but seemed unsatisfied. Ah, I see. ¡°It makes me happy that you wanted to protect me. Thanks Noel.¡± ¡°Y-yes!¡± When I thanked her, a smile bloomed on Noel¡¯s face. It seemed my assumption was correct. Noel with her straight posture looked at me full of smiles. Seeing such a sight, Nina, Bennet and Cindy couldn¡¯t help but grin. It was as this was going on that Luca returned, a small parcel in his hands. ¡°I borrowed the conference room so let¡¯s go up everyone.¡± It¡¯s good that you want to encourage other people but you don¡¯t have to kiss me on the head every single time. Also, why are we holding hands when we¡¯re only going such a short distance? A staff member waiting next to the service desk guided us up to the second floor and opened the door to the conference room. The key was then given to Cindy for safekeeping and she locked the door the minute the staff member left. We all took a seat and waited for Luca to open the parcel. Inside were two letters and a leather pouch that was probably a magic bag item. ¡°This letter is from sensei to Noel. Here, for you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Luca and Noel each broke the seal on their respective letters and began to read them. I kept quiet so as not to disturb them, but I could feel Luca next to me getting confused. A crease formed between his brows. Just what was in that letter? Noel finished her letter first and it looked like there was something she wanted to tell me, but she kept her mouth shut since Luca still hadn¡¯t finished reading. A good while later, Luca finally reached the end of the letter. He had a very confused expression on his face as he looked our way. ¡°Um, there¡¯s a lot of information here. I don¡¯t know where to start. Mn¡­ maybe from where this information came from in the first place? I think it¡¯s important to prove that the things written in this letter are correct. However, I can¡¯t really judge if this is the truth or not. The letter states that there¡¯s a demon close by who knows more details about the gods.¡± ¡°A demon¡­? Eh?? A demon close by?¡± Nina looked around the room flabbergasted, making direct eye contact with Miranda then shook her head to deny it. That was well, you know? Anyway, a demon, huh? I¡¯d never thought such a being could become a source of information. Thinking about it though, it made sense. ¡°The goddess Terre took on the form of a human, and erased her purifying essence on top of that. Which means it wouldn¡¯t be strange for a demon to do the same and slip into our midst. I also told you before, that monsters are born from demonic essence, but that doesn¡¯t necessarily mean that they will harm humans. There¡¯s no denying that the monsters in Soleil kingdom are violent, but¡­ if this is a demon that had existed before Soleil fell into slumber, then there¡¯s a good chance that they are amicable towards humans.¡± ¡°Hmm, I see. Magical creatures don¡¯t have a set lifespan. Furthermore demons are SS rank and can¡¯t be defeated by regular humans. And if the demon took on the form of a human it makes sense that they could have remained hidden in Soleil kingdom for thousands of years.¡± (Camilla) ¡°How unexpected. I always thought that information about thousands of years ago could only be found in literature.¡± (Cindy) It couldn¡¯t be helped ¨C we humans had limited lifespans. On top of that, I never saw a demon that had lived for several thousands of years. No, maybe I did and just didn¡¯t know it. If they took on the form of a human, hid their demonic essence and erased their presence, no one would notice them. Also, at some point in this country, demons became a thing of the past. It was said that there was a village of demons somewhere along the vast mountain range. ¡°Eh, um? In other words, it means I could have brushed past a demon while walking in town and not have known it?¡± (Bennet) ¡°That¡¯s right. Maybe even a dragon.¡± If SS rank demons could disguise themselves as humans, perhaps SSS rank dragons could too. When I answered her question, Bennet let out a shriek and started trembling. Ah, did that bring back memories of the battle with the dark dragons? Sorry for scaring you by saying useless things. ¡°By the way, that demon seems to be by sensei¡¯s side.¡± Noel¡¯s eyes opened wide when Luca glanced at her. Soon after, however, her face stiffened. ¡°In his letter, father wrote that he is currently busy with the trial, though it will probably come to an end by mid-November and in December he¡¯ll send Orobas¡­2 father¡¯s butler to us.¡± Apparently father and Orobas had been friends since childhood. The butler, whose duty it was to take care of his master, would look after me when I stayed in the basement, probably on father¡¯s orders. He was the one who taught me how to read. Also¡­ ¡°Orobas was the one who taught me about ¡®Zagan,¡¯ a demon from long ago.¡±3 I was not abused as a child because I listened to my father obediently. Still I do have some memories of Orobas telling me stories of demons as if they were fairy tales. However, since I was quite young at the time, I couldn¡¯t recall the details of those stories. The reason I took on the name Zagan was because I thought I should have the same name as I did in the game. However, the original Zagan was abused by our father and remembered the stories that the butler who took care of him told him. Which was why when he came to detest the humans who cursed him as a demon and tried to kill him, he borrowed the name of the demon Zagan. It was so that he could become a demon just like they wanted him to be, and so that he could kill them. I see. So the butler who took care of me was a demon, huh?4 Translators¡¯ Notes: Kuromaru: Hey guys! I hope you liked this chapter~! It¡¯s all thanks to Reo! I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve noticed, but we only have two translators on this project (Me and Reo). And both of us have other novels to take care of too. Soooo we¡¯ve decided it¡¯s time to recruit new blood! Whoever wanna to help out with translating Eroge you can take our translators¡¯ test from the site or our discord~! Thank you for your time and support so far! CH 49.1 ¡°Then, if there really is a demon, then what¡¯s written here must be true.¡± Luca let his gaze fall on the letter as a crease formed between his brows. Was what was written there that hard to say? Though we were curious, no one rushed him. Instead, we held our breaths in anticipation. I, too, waited quietly until Luca raised his head once again. ¡°Cindy mentioned it before: that Soleil and Lune were lovers. The letter also states that they held a deep affection towards one another. It¡¯s written that they were very close since a long, long time ago.¡± A long time ago, in ancient times, before humans existed, strong beings that we¡¯d now call gods roamed the earth. At times, these beings were friends, and at others, they were foes. And, after hundreds of millions of years in which they caused destruction and regeneration, the earth and the sea took on the shapes we know of today. As various life forms began to evolve on the earth, these strong beings began to look after the weak existences born in their territories. While at times they did fight, Soleil and Lune remained very close to one another, their territories standing one next to the other. Still interacting with their fellow gods, the two began to make small changes in their territories. Little by little they made it easier for the weak beings to live there. When humans were first born, the territory of Soleil, who possessed the light attribute, became a land that was comfortable for humans and spirits to live in. Lune¡¯s territory, as she had the dark and holy attributes, changed into the Great Forest and she made it a paradise for monsters and beasts. As the days went by, the humans who had a high level of intelligence1, began to revere the strong beings. They called them gods and knew that many such gods existed in the world. They also gave the god who protected them a name. The people of this land called him Soleil ¡ª the god of the sun, and approximately five thousand years ago the kingdom of Soleil was founded. To Soleil¡¯s lover they gave the name Lune ¡ª the goddess of the moon. The sun and the moon. The people of the kingdom recognized the two as a pair and every day they sent them their gratitude, thanking the two for looking after them and allowing them to live a peaceful life. The trouble began when, as time went by, humans started regarding Lune as a nuisance. They thought that Soleil should be the only god of Soleil kingdom; that Lune¡¯s place was the Great Forest and the Great Forest alone. That belief in a single god distorted and spread across the kingdom until, at some point, the people began to suspect that Lune was an evil being who planned to snatch away Soleil¡¯s territory. Then, around a thousand years ago, the royal family and four duke families of the time sent a large number of magic knights to kill the goddess. They claimed that it was for a good cause ¡ª to protect their country and their god from the Evil God. Naturally, seeing as they were trying to kill his beloved, Soleil flew into a fiery rage. He wanted to exterminate the humans inhabiting his territory and to destroy the kingdom that was built. The one who stopped him from doing so was the one the humans tried to kill ¡ª the goddess Lune. Lune liked humans. She liked the humans who had evolved little by little until they gained intelligence. The humans who had given her a name. The humans whose lives, unlike hers, were fleeting and flickered like a flame. Above all, she liked the humans in the kingdom who adored Soleil, whom she loved. Soleil who wished to kill the humans and Lune who wished to protect them ¡ª the fight between the two gods escalated in the blink of an eye. The spirits born of Soleil¡¯s purifying essence killed the humans and the monsters born of Lune¡¯s demonic essence protected them. Because of this, many a monster and spirit clashed and lost their lives. Of course, many humans did too. After years of fierce battle, Lune came out on top. Ironically, Soleil¡¯s anger at the humans and the sadness he felt when his loved one rejected him became a source of power for Lune, who ruled over darkness. The grief and suffering of the creatures and humans who lost those they treasured fueled her as well. The dragons and demons that Lune steadily created, ultimately dealt the crushing blow to the spirits and restrained Soleil. A seal was placed on him. However, despite losing to Lune, Soleil did not forgive the humans. Though he was in a weakened state, sealed in a place where the sun couldn¡¯t reach him, he used a tremendous amount of power to erect a barrier around the kingdom, allowing no one to leave its confines. Then, using his deep-seated grudge, he caused the earth to decay and attempted to kill the humans for sport. In response, Lune hid the moon. She did it in order to strengthen the dark mana used to seal Soleil as much as possible so that the madness-stricken god could not escape. She did it in order to kill her own heart that tried to heal her lover with holy mana. The sun was indispensable to humans, but the moon¡­ it didn¡¯t matter if they couldn¡¯t see it. Lune then transformed Soleil¡¯s hatred into demonic essence and summoned monsters throughout the kingdom to absorb it. By doing so, she stopped the earth from decaying. However, if she turned all of that hatred into demonic essence, the entire Soleil kingdom would have been overrun by monsters. She would exhaust her own power as well. Which was why, at times, she condensed the hatred and it became the Lumiere which she entrusted to the earnestly living humans and the world that was mother to them all. The world heeded Lune¡¯s ardent prayers and created the star fragments so that the kingdom would not fall into decay. In addition, twelve dungeons appeared throughout the kingdom. These were thought to be a result of the world taking Soleil¡¯s feelings into account ¡ª a method to put the humans, the source of his anger, through trials and tribulations in order to hopefully appease some of his fury. Speaking of the humans, by the time the battle between the two gods had come to an end, they were thoroughly exhausted. Throughout the kingdom, there was an uncountable number of deaths and many of the buildings had collapsed. The royal family knew that it was their fault that so many people died and the kingdom fell into ruin. They knew it was Soleil who tried to destroy them and Lune who protected them. Still, they told the people that it was Lune¡¯s fault, that she had run wild. They feared that if they told the people, who believed in Soleil as a single absolute being, that their god had tried to destroy them, it would only lead to more despair and more people would end their own lives. They also feared that if news were to spread that the royal family had tried to kill Lune, and in doing so had incited Soleil¡¯s anger, the people may revolt. If that were to happen, the country and the people would become more impoverished and Soleil kingdom would completely fall into ruin. Therefore, there was no choice but to make Lune the bad guy.2 They told the people that Soleil sealed the Evil God and fell into slumber due to his weakened state. That the moon vanishing was evidence that he sealed the Evil God. And that for the sake of Soleil, who would recover one day, they should restore the country. The humans that remained continued their lives while thanking Soleil and resenting the Evil God. The name Lune became taboo, and all the books that mentioned her were turned into ashes. Furthermore, the Great Forest of Lune, which had once bathed in the beautiful light of the moon, became the Great Forest of Etoille, as it fell into a deep darkness where only stars could sometimes be seen, after losing its master. The fact that envoys from other countries had stopped coming was also blamed on Lune, and the people were unaware of the barrier Soleil had erected. Like this, little by little, the kingdom of Soleil was rebuilt. While the people did not know why the Lumiere suddenly appeared in the royal castle, and were confused as to why the interior of the dungeons had changed, hatred spilled out of the Lumiere, corroding the already half-destroyed castle. The demonic essence that Lune collected truly took on the form of a repulsive Evil God and became violent. Still, the humans desperately utilized their wit and barely managed to surpass their hardships. Since then, about a thousand years have gone by. The kingdom of Soleil of today had a more developed civilization than before and was more prosperous than a thousand years ago. Fewer people died, and it became a peaceful place to live in. However, the citizens living today didn¡¯t know. They didn¡¯t know about the goddess Lune who has continued to protect them for a thousand years. And that even now, Soleil was trying to destroy them. CH 49.2 ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡± No words could come out. My chest felt somehow constricted. Because of Lune¡¯s kindness. Because of Soleil¡¯s anger and sadness. I wanted to thank Lune with all my heart. For continuing to protect us humans even though we betrayed her, even though it hurt her loved one. For continuing to protect us to this day. We were standing here today thanks to her. I had guessed¡­ that Soleil wasn¡¯t simply asleep. And back then, we¡¯d already established that Lune and the Evil God were one and the same. But if there¡¯s no Evil God, then why is there a barrier around the kingdom? I thought that the answer to this question would surely be unsettling. Reality, however, was much more painful than I could imagine. Soleil was betrayed by the humans he protected. They tried to kill his loved one, the existence that had been by his side for hundreds of millions of years. Of course his anger wouldn¡¯t go away in a meager one thousand years. It made me feel hopeless. But just thinking about the two gods and worrying about them wouldn¡¯t change a thing. Anyway, right here, right now all my questions had been answered. Why Soleil was asleep, why there was a barrier around the kingdom, why the moon had been hidden, why the name of the Great Forest had changed. Everything except how to save Lune. ¡°Even if we did, let¡¯s say, prevent the Dark Organization from gathering demonic essence and stopped them from resurrecting Lune as an evil goddess¡­ if we can¡¯t appease Soleil¡¯s anger, we can¡¯t fully help her.¡± ¡°I-I want to save them! Lune and Soleil! Both of them¡­ u-uuuu.¡± Bennet, who had been sniffling since earlier, appealed while crying. The others nodded, unreadable expressions on their faces as they pondered over what we¡¯d just heard. Of course, if we could save them both, that would be ideal. But how could we persuade Soleil? Such a thing wasn¡¯t possible as we were humans after all. ¡°I don¡¯t really know what we should do about Soleil, but even if Lune took in the excess demonic essence and lost control, it says in the letter that there¡¯s a way to bring back her sanity without using violence.¡± ¡°I see. That¡¯s a godsend. It would be great if we could do this without the castle being destroyed and with a minimal number of casualties.¡± ¡°Yeah. Also if I, a descendant of Soleil, fight against Lune, there¡¯s a chance I might accidentally kill her so, if possible, I¡¯d like to get that demon to help us.¡± That was right; if Luca fights with Lune as she¡¯s surrounded by demonic essence, he could end up defeating her like he did in the game. No matter how meticulously careful Luca was, the compelling force of the game might move him. Which was why we should avoid fighting at all costs. ¡°But in order to bring Lune back without fighting, it¡¯s written that Zagan, her descendant, has to be strong enough to take on the demonic essence. Which means Zagan will be facing the goddess on his own¡­¡± Luca peeked at me looking extremely concerned. ¡°No problem. Luca, you and the others protect the castle and the people. I¡¯m almost done making improvements to the magic barrier device and if need be I can make more of them.¡± ¡°Thanks Zagan. Brother also wrote that the demon will come our way in December to help you out. If it ends up in a duel between you and Lune, I¡¯ll do everything to support you so let¡¯s do our best.¡± I nodded and Luca smiled, kissing me on the cheek. On another note, I wanted to find out first hand just how strong Orobas was. However, immediately after I started getting excited about that, Noel quietly raised her hand. ¡°Wait a minute, Luca. The reason Orobas is coming, it¡¯s different in the crown prince¡¯s letter and in father¡¯s.¡± ¡°Really? What does it say in Sensei¡¯s letter?¡± ¡°That he¡¯s coming to test Luca.¡± ¡°¡­ Please explain from the beginning.¡± Luca urged, looking mystified and Noel promptly nodded. ¡°It seems that father has heard about Luca¡¯s fianc¨¦ from Duke Magnifique. He was very happy to hear that both Zagan-dono and I were ok and that we were together. Also, he was extremely worried about whether Luca was a good partner to Zagan-dono. He wrote that he couldn¡¯t imagine that Luca earnestly being in love with someone. He¡¯s worried that Zagan-dono might be being used because he¡¯s strong, or played with because he is rare. Which is apparently why father is sending Orobas here to test Luca.¡± No, I wish she wouldn¡¯t say that kind of stuff with such a serious face. I didn¡¯t even know what to make of the idea of Luca playing with me. Was father ok? Wasn¡¯t he overworking himself? Or so I thought, but apparently I was the only one. ¡°He¡¯s definitely going to challenge you to a duel. No doubt about that.¡± (Miranda) ¡°Ara ara, if Luca loses will they have to break off their engagement?¡± (Cindy) ¡°Zagan! I¡¯ll give it my all! I¡¯ll get Sensei to accept me as your fianc¨¦!¡± I couldn¡¯t agree with him this time even though Luca was holding both of my hands and pleading. We weren¡¯t actually engaged in the first place. ¡°I don¡¯t really care if Count Brady accepts you or not. He¡¯s got no relation to me. My name is Zagan and that person¡¯s son died a long long time ago.¡± ¡°Well yes, there¡¯s no connection between the two of you on paper, but the fact that Sensei and Zagan are father and son connected by blood doesn¡¯t just go away. So I¡¯ll be really happy if, without me denying his worries, he¡¯ll allow me to have your hand.¡± Was that what this was about? But still¡­ ¡°I haven¡¯t seen him in fifteen years. Also, I never planned on getting involved with him again. So even if he¡¯s worried about me, that¡¯s¡­ I¡¯m in a bind ¡ª I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the right thing to do.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too cute Zagan!¡± I got embarrassed and was about to pull my hood up when Luca squeezed me tightly, so I hid my face in his chest and he rubbed his cheek on me, kissing the top of my head. When I calmed down a bit, he smiled happily at me. ¡°I have to prove to Sensei that I too have changed after meeting Zagan. The reason I can love someone from the bottom of my heart is because it¡¯s Zagan. I want to tell Sensei that that¡¯s how amazing his son is and that he doesn¡¯t have to worry because I¡¯ll always treasure him. That¡¯s why I¡¯ll do my best.¡± I see. Luca has spent a much longer time with my father than I have. Father has been Luca¡¯s tutor since he was five, which meant that sixteen years have already passed since they¡¯ve met. Of course he would want father to see how much he¡¯d grown. ¡°Hey, Noel, what did he mean by ¡®that Luca¡¯? Did Luca use to be a delinquent?¡± (Nina) ¡°He was perfect as a member of the royal family. In reality however, he was just a cold and emotionless person, so I think that father, who¡¯s been with him since he was young, has a hard time imagining that Luca would ever love somebody.¡± (Noel) ¡°What? really? If you¡¯re asking me, I¡¯d have a hard time imagining a Luca who¡¯s not in love with onii-san.¡± (Nina) ¡°Now that you mention it, I think he did have a rather shallow smile when we first met¡­ I don¡¯t remember though.¡± (Miranda) ¡°Then you¡¯re just saying pointless things!¡± (Nina) ¡°Ahahahahaha!¡± Noel and Nina started laughing too after hearing Miranda¡¯s hearty laughter. At some point, the heavy atmosphere that had surrounded us disappeared. It was a good thing. ¡°Haa¡­ Luca-san and Zagan-san¡¯s meeting was fate¡­ H-how wonderful.¡± (Bennet) I wouldn¡¯t go so far as to call it fate, but she was looking at me with sparkling eyes and Luca agreed with her for some reason so I couldn¡¯t really reject that thought. ¡°Oh yeah, Luca, what¡¯s in the pouch?¡± (Miranda) ¡°Ah, I forgot. It seems this magic bag holds a hundred volumes of books from Orobas¡¯s collection. They¡¯re all more than a thousand years old. Brother sent them along with the letter as proof that what¡¯s written here is the truth.¡± ¡°To think there was such a valuable thing inside¡­ May I read them?¡± (Cindy) ¡°Sure. Orobas asks us to treat the books with care even though they¡¯re only a small part of his collection, since these books aren¡¯t available anywhere else anymore. But if it¡¯s Cindy and Camilla, you¡¯ll treat them with the utmost care, right?¡± ¡°Eeeehhh. Of course! I¡¯ll read them preciously. Ufufu, I can¡¯t wait.¡± (Cindy) ¡°Umu. I too will take your words to heart.¡± (Camilla) Luca handed the pouch to Cindy, put his arm around my waist and turned his gaze towards Noel. ¡°You have my gratitude, Noel. It¡¯s because you wrote to Sensei that the demon Orobas gave us the information we were looking for. Thank you.¡± ¡°Not at all. The person who persuaded you to go to the dungeon at that time was Zagan-dono.¡± ¡°Mhm, thank you Zagan. Brother wrote that Orobas revealed his demon form and told him about what happened a thousand years ago because he saw the photo of the moon that we sent him. It¡¯s all thanks to Zagan crossing the Great Forest and taking a picture as proof that the moon exists. Also, we first learned that Lune and the Evil God were the same being because Zagan generously gave Cindy the book he bought in Terre. Fufu, everything¡¯s thanks to Zagan. Truly, thank you.¡± ¡°That, most of the work was done by Cindy¡­¡± ¡°I just read the book Zagan-kun gave me.¡± ¡°That so¡­¡± I was happy I could become a source of strength for Luca but I couldn¡¯t handle this much praise. Somehow, I couldn¡¯t lift my face up. CH 50.1 Translator: Reo Editor: PalenMisha Read at Watashi wa Sugoi Desu! Our conversation now over, we left the meeting room and acquired a map of the 11th city from the front desk on the first floor. We also took the opportunity before we left to ask the staff if there was a shop around that could make armour using dragon parts. We had lunch at a restaurant. People screamed when they saw my black hair, but it didn¡¯t turn into a big incident thanks to Luca holding my head and kissing my hair without a moment¡¯s delay. Luca did all the ordering of the food and we all shared the many kinds of different dishes. He probably did that so that nobody would slip something like poison into the food I ordered. They wouldn¡¯t dare mess with the food the prince was going to eat after all. We spent about an hour taking it easy at the restaurant and then followed the map to the armour shop. There were five sets of both hide and talons that Camilla had collected from the dark dragons in the 9th city, so for the time being Luca ordered a long-coat to level up his defense. It seemed we could mix and match the colors and materials. Since I already had the mantle Noel made me, I ordered a breastplate, arm and shin guards and some boots. The others only went for breastplates. We also commissioned some accessories to be made from the dragons¡¯ talons in combination with other materials. As it was such a large order, all of the craftspeople gathered to discuss the designs with us. By the way, maybe it was because they were first-class craftspeople, but they didn¡¯t really have much of a reaction to my black hair. They looked at me, looked at Luca, then nodded like they¡¯d been convinced. They did shout in joy when they saw the materials from the dragons though. When it came time to take the measurements, of course Luca was the one to measure me. In return, I also took his measurements. Still, I couldn¡¯t help but be envious of his great physique. It took some time to calculate the price of our order, which included a consultation fee for the buying and selling of the remaining materials, and by the time it was over it was just before dinnertime. We had stayed in the shop for quite a while. Our orders would be completed by November 30th. In the case where one brings in their own materials, the armour could take up to three weeks to produce. Since Luca would be fully equipped by the time he had his duel with Orobas, I was fine with it. Night had already fallen by the time we returned to the mansion and had dinner. Usually after dinner Luca would train with the girls, but since there was something he had to think about today, he decided to end the training early. It was a good call since Camilla and Cindy wanted to read the books from Orobas, and it seemed like Miranda, Nina and Bennet wanted Noel to teach them how to dance. I was going to learn how to dance from Luca, but that very same Luca picked me up the moment training was over. Something like this has already happened before; it was when we discovered that the Evil God was Lune. Luca took us to our bedroom, lay down on the bed next to me and squeezed me tightly. It seemed he was still feeling down and he buried his face in my chest, so I gently patted his head, stroked his hair and kissed him. After comforting him for a while, Luca lifted his head from my chest and our eyes met. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you want to talk about it?¡± ¡°Yeah. That¡­ we discovered a lot of stuff today, right? About the moon and about the royal family from a thousand years ago. About the origin of the Lumiere and the Evil God too¡­. In the bottom of my heart I was glad that the reason for all of this was the foolishness of humans. If it had been because of some discord between gods that I can¡¯t do anything about, then I¡­ yeah.¡± Speaking of which, Luca had been concerned about all kinds of things since learning of the existence of the moon five months ago. Why was the moon hidden? Why weren¡¯t the people of the kingdom aware that the moon existed? What exactly happened with the royal family a thousand years ago? Even when we realized that the name of the Great Forest had been changed, he had seriously thought about what had happened between the gods. Luca had said that it was all thanks to me, but it had been Luca himself who attached the photo of the moon to his letter to the crown prince and Luca himself who¡¯d asked him to look into it. He also asked the crown prince to send a prompt reply if he knew something. Which was the reason why we were able to learn about what happened to the gods a thousand years ago. The truth came to light because Luca wanted to know what happened to this country and had made moves to find out. Thinking about it, this wasn¡¯t thanks to me but a result of Luca¡¯s efforts. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard, Luca.¡± ¡°Um? What are you talking about?¡± ¡°¡­ it¡¯s a secret.¡± If I explained it to him, he¡¯d just say that it was thanks to me again since I took the photo and brought the book, so I decided to keep quiet instead. Luca looked at me as if searching for an answer, so I smiled at him. His eyes widened, he blushed, and he buried his face in my chest again. I hugged him again and peppered his head and face with kisses, just the way he usually did to me. I could only do this when Luca wanted to be spoiled by me, so I planned to enjoy this situation to the fullest. Nn, his smooth, golden hair felt nice. I enjoyed the sensation that was different from usual, but could feel Luca getting depressed again. Concerned, I looked down at him and he began to string some words together, his face still buried in my chest. ¡°But I didn¡¯t think that the goddess herself would hide the moon. I just thought that we couldn¡¯t see it because of Soleil¡¯s barrier.¡± ¡°¡­ I didn¡¯t think so. The area that spans Soleil¡¯s boundary and the area where you can¡¯t see the moon are different after all.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°The goddess Terre said so ¡ª that the moon couldn¡¯t be seen inside Lune¡¯s territory. Terre could come inside the Great Forest but said she couldn¡¯t get into Soleil kingdom because of the barrier.¡± ¡°They really are different areas. I didn¡¯t notice.¡± ¡°I¡¯m more interested in how I managed to slip past Soleil¡¯s barrier.¡± In that year I¡¯d spent wandering inside the forest, did I accidentally pass through a tear in the barrier? Or was it because I was Lune¡¯s descendant? ¡°Isn¡¯t it because you¡¯re Lune¡¯s descendant? Terre said she could feel Lune¡¯s mana from you and that that¡¯s how she came to the conclusion that you¡¯re Lune¡¯s descendant. Which means that your mana is a perfect match to hers, right? I don¡¯t think that Soleil wanted to kill those that have the same mana as his beloved.¡± Luca might be right. Having the same mana probably made me seem close to something like Lune¡¯s child. Children have the blood of both parents, but mana wasn¡¯t hereditary. The type of mana created by each person was wholly unique to them. However, my mana was exactly the same as Lune¡¯s, who possesses the dark attribute. That was what being a descendant of a god meant. If Soleil loved her to the point that he wanted to annihilate all humans for her, would he have made an exemption for her descendants? ¡°The thought¡­ that you might lose your soulmate, the one you spent hundreds of millions of years with ¡ª I wonder just how terrifying it is?¡± I could feel the pain and the sadness in Luca¡¯s voice and wanted to comfort him somehow, so I stroked his head again and again. If I could have answered his question, I would have, but as a human with a meager lifespan of 100 years, I couldn¡¯t. I tried to put myself in Soleil¡¯s shoes, about what would happen if I were to lose Luca. However, my thoughts soon switched to how I could save him before that could ever happen. It could just be that I didn¡¯t want to even think about such a possibility. But that didn¡¯t seem to be the case for Luca. ¡°When Zagan¡¯s body went cold as I held you in my arms, I thought I was going to go mad from the anger and the sorrow that I felt. I became like that even though it hasn¡¯t even been a year since we¡¯ve met. If Lune had actually died back then¡­ Soleil would have drowned in despair. He would have gone insane from the overwhelming anger and sadness¡­ he would have destroyed the world.¡± Aaah, I see. Was that why the world had me reincarnated here? Saving Lune who had died in the game was linked to stopping the sealed Soleil from going on a rampage. If I save her, this world won¡¯t be destroyed ¨C I could prevent this universe from collapsing.1 I didn¡¯t think that what the previous Zagan had carelessly told me would actually turn out to be true. In almost every individual ending of ¡°Lumiere,¡± the game ended several months after the Evil God is defeated, with a wedding or day-in-the-life scenario. It was probably afterwards that Soleil¡¯s seal weakened and he came out onto the earth. And then, learning that his beloved had been killed, the god would lose all of his reason to overwhelming sorrow and hatred and destroy, not only Soleil kingdom but the whole world as well. I couldn¡¯t imagine the scope of the destruction he would enact, but it might even lead to a situation where the sun strays from its orbit. Being reincarnated in order to prevent this world from ending was a huge responsibility. But knowing that didn¡¯t change anything. From now on, I would still do what I could to stop the discrimination against dark attribute users and save Lune. Even before that, my first priority was to cheer the depressed Luca up. He was still in low spirits no matter how much I patted his back and kissed his head. What should I do? The reason he was down was because he knew about Soleil¡¯s pitiful circumstances, right? I couldn¡¯t figure out if it was because of the god¡¯s circumstances themselves, because he now had to shoulder that responsibility or because of some other reason. ¡°Luca¡­ knowing the truth about Soleil I¡¯ve realized it would be pointless to just save Lune from the demonic essence. If we do that, it¡¯d just go straight back to Soleil. If we don¡¯t show the world Lune¡¯s true form, the discrimination could come to an end but it would take a very long time to happen.¡± ¡°Ah. I see. That¡¯s true. It would be bad if the discrimination continues. What should we do?¡± Luca lifted his head in a panic and looked at my face that was opposite his. For some reason he looked like he¡¯d recovered from his depression, but I finished telling him what I wanted to say anyway. ¡°That¡¯s why we can¡¯t just save Lune. We need to save Soleil as well. I can¡¯t think of a way to do that yet, but let¡¯s pool our knowledge together and come up with something. That way Luca¡¯s troubles will go away.¡± ¡°Yeah. This isn¡¯t the time to be depressed. It¡¯d be a huge problem if we could never get married.¡± Hm? Luca was planning on marrying me when there was no longer any discrimination? ¡­ I see. I was a bit surprised but since Luca¡¯s spirits were up again and he was hugging me, I returned his embrace feeling relieved. CH 50.2 Per Luca¡¯s request, we went to take a bath early tonight as well. The bath was separated from the one used by the girls and wasn¡¯t that big so we had to use it one at a time. After soaking in the tub and warming myself up, I cleaned my entire body and then got in the tub again. It was because Luca would worry if I didn¡¯t do so. Afterwards I put my bathrobe on, thoroughly dried my hair and went back to the bedroom. Luca got up from the bed and kissed my hair. We then switched places and I sat down on the bed and waited for Luca to come out. Now then, we were almost definitely going to have sex afterwards, but I hadn¡¯t used up any of my mana today and if he embraced me like this, I¡¯d end up feeling it way too much when Luca¡¯s mana absorbed into me. Thinking of how depressed Luca was earlier, I wanted to stay conscious until the end tonight. Alright, let¡¯s use up my mana. I closed my eyes and focused my attention on my palm. Using my mana, I pulled on the emotions I could sense in the air around my palm and condensed them. I tried to turn those ephemeral sensations into something that was graspable. After I had meditated for a while, I could feel the presence of Luca coming out of the bath. I opened my eyes since he was back in the bedroom and Luca sat next to me, eyes blinking. ¡°Zagan that¡¯s your that? Demonic essence, right?¡± ¡°Yeah. If I do this, I can use up my mana right away without causing any damage to my surroundings.¡± As Luca had pointed out, a small amount of black mist was floating above my palm. It was barely 10 centimeters in diameter and could only summon a dark attribute baby slime. ¡°How much mana do you need to use to make something this size?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already used a fourth of my mana.¡± ¡°So just this takes up a fourth of your mana? Then a colossal amount must have been used to summon the five dragons with demonic essence. Is that why it took them three months even though there are so many people in the organization?¡± Speaking of which, Luca had been standing behind me at the time so he saw the amount of demonic essence that the Dark Organization had gathered. Gathering so much demonic essence would have definitely taken a lot of time and effort. However, in my current condition there was another reason why I could only accumulate such a small amount. ¡°I think those guys were able to reduce the amount of mana they depleted, even if only to a certain extent, because they had strong negative emotions. The reason I can only gather this much is because there aren¡¯t that many negative emotions surrounding us. No matter how much mana I use, I can¡¯t gather what¡¯s not there.¡± ¡°Oh, I see. Then this, it¡¯s my emotions from earlier?¡± Luca extended his finger towards the demonic essence. When he touched it, he looked at me in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s small but I can touch it ¨C even though it¡¯s an emotion.¡± ¡°I used my mana to turn the intangible into tangible. It¡¯s similar to creating tentacles. Luca, how about you try gathering purifying essence? I¡¯m sure you could use up the same amount of mana as I did and end up with something a hundred times bigger than this.¡± ¡°Fufufu. That¡¯s right. There¡¯s a lot of Zagan and my love in the air after all.¡± Luca smiled happily and kissed me. ¡­ I had the feeling that I accidentally said something embarrassing, but that was just my imagination, right? Probably. In the meantime, I dispersed the demonic essence. Waving my hand a couple of times, it diffused into the air and gradually disappeared. Staring at the essence as it disappeared, Luca tilted his head and turned his gaze back to me. ¡°But I¡¯ve never gathered purifying essence before. I don¡¯t use summoning magic so I never felt the need to do so. Zagan, did you naturally learn summoning magic?¡± ¡°Yeah, but Luca didn¡¯t?¡± Speaking of which, the protagonist didn¡¯t use any summoning magic in the game either. Even though he had the light attribute. Even though light and dark were two sides of the same coin and he should be able to use it. I wonder why? Skills and spells were things that popped into one¡¯s mind unexpectedly. However, there were some conditions that triggered them. Basically these were things that you could learn by leveling up your skills, but there were also cases where you learned them through action. For example, the sword skills the original Zagan acquired by repeatedly committing insane murders, or my ultimate spell which I learned through getting the right weapon. These kinds of conditions. In other words, learning them might depend on the environment you are in. ¡°The current Soleil kingdom is filled to the brim with Soleil¡¯s negative emotions. If that¡¯s cancelling out any positive emotions, then it would be meaningless for light attribute users to have summoning magic.¡± ¡°I see, that might be the case. Is that why it¡¯s extremely rare for spirits to be born in Soleil kingdom?¡± I nodded. Those rarely seen spirits might have been born from the world¡¯s emotions that hadn¡¯t been cancelled out. By coincidence, the two of us had seen a small spirit in August, but that private beach had been at the edge of Soleil kingdom. So it¡¯s highly likely that the positive emotions hadn¡¯t been cancelled. Furthermore, that small fish spirit had swum around Luca as if to comfort him. No¡­ wait a minute. Was that really just a coincidence? I tilted my head and stared at Luca. He was concentrating on gathering mana on his palm, but smiled gently when he noticed my gaze. ¡°What is it Zagan?¡± ¡°Sorry for bothering you. It¡¯s about that spirit we saw before. I remembered that it was clearly trying to comfort you. But it seems unlikely for a newborn spirit to act that way. I was wondering whether it was being manipulated by the world.¡± ¡°Umm¡­ in other words, the world was trying to comfort me?¡± ¡°Something like that. The dark dragons for example, couldn¡¯t go against the will of those that summoned them and had to fight against us despite having the wisdom of dragons. Soleil and Lune also summoned spirits and monsters to follow them, resulting in the whole kingdom being engulfed in their fierce battle.¡± Of course, it was also possible for them to have their own will, which was exactly why the magic beasts in the Great Forest of Lune and Terre kingdom could live freely. Perhaps then the monsters of Soleil kingdom attacked humans indiscriminately because Lune wanted them to be suppressed immediately so that there wouldn¡¯t be so many monsters around that there wouldn¡¯t be any place to convert the demonic essence of Soleil¡¯s grudge into monsters. Or did they want to kill humans because they were born from Soleil¡¯s grudge? Both options seemed plausible. As I was having these thoughts, Luca¡¯s tentacles reached out to me all of a sudden and laid me down on the middle of the bed. Luca then covered my body with his. He kissed me gently on the cheeks and eyes and then hugged me tightly. It didn¡¯t feel like we were going to have sex, and it didn¡¯t feel like he was spoiling me either. He just hugged me ever so preciously. ¡°Luca¡­ what¡¯s wrong?¡± I didn¡¯t know why so I tried asking, but Luca just rubbed his cheek on my head. ¡°It¡¯s just that it¡¯s amazing. That the world tried to comfort me. And that you realised that is amazing as well. Thank you, Zagan¡­ I¡¯ll do my best from now on as well. I¡¯ll work hard and save Soleil no matter what. Then I can have my happily ever after with you.¡± The Luca who was looking at me had a very handsome and beautiful smile on his face. When I stared at him, enchanted, he laughed happily and gave me a sweet, gentle kiss. CH 51 No content CH 52.1 We had dinner at the mansion today as well. Afterwards we all went up to an empty room on the second floor and practiced dancing. Luca and Noel weren¡¯t the only ones who knew how to dance. Camilla and Cindy, who had graduated from the royal academy, also knew how so we split up into pairs. Noel with Nina, Camilla with Bennet and Cindy with Miranda. Of course, Luca was the one guiding me. As soon as I turned to face him, he placed one of his hands on my back and scooped up my right hand with his other. I knew this was going to happen, but it still made me depressed. Luca immediately noticed my unhappy mood. ¡°S-sorry. Zagan also wanted to dance the male part, huh?¡± ¡°¡­ No. I¡¯m a beginner and I¡¯m shorter than you. Also, it¡¯s not like I can make the prince dance the female part. Don¡¯t mind it too much.¡± ¡°Yeah. Thanks Zagan. I love you.¡± He gave me a kiss on my cheek and then on the corner of my eye. We were already half-hugging to start with and then he pulled me in closer, our bodies sticking together. This¡­ it wasn¡¯t that much different from usual. Since I was just a beginner, the dance practice was hard, but it was rather fun as well. More than anything else Luca looked extremely happy and time flew by quickly. I should practice as much as possible so that I don¡¯t step on Luca¡¯s foot on the actual day. The morning of the next day, the 8th, Luca told me for the first time in a while that he wanted to train. On the way here the girls fought off the monsters while Luca and I didn¡¯t do anything, so apparently he wanted to train so that his skills wouldn¡¯t become rusty. I became his training partner. It was the first time Luca had chosen me as his training partner. The time we had together at the start of August was all spent working on the magic barrier. At the beginning of October I was still in bad shape and by the end of the month I was working on the barrier again. I hadn¡¯t finished remodifying the device yet, but the deadline was at the end of December so I had plenty of time. More importantly, I needed to get stronger so that Orobas would approve of me. If I didn¡¯t, I wouldn¡¯t be able to save Lune from the demonic essence. Our policy had been to stay away from the Dark Organization as they continued to collect demonic essence. We were going around from city to city clearing dungeons. Trying to find out where they were hiding would have been a hassle. Furthermore, in order to persuade Soleil, we had to talk with Lune and get her to lift the seal. However, we didn¡¯t know exactly where inside the capitol Lune was. Which was why our plan wasn¡¯t to stop her from being resurrected as an Evil God, but to return her to her senses once she did appear. If we could get Lune to lift Soleil¡¯s seal, Luca would then take care of everything else. I believed in him. That very same Luca stood in the middle of the wide yard facing me. Both of us had wooden weapons and we weren¡¯t allowed to use spells so as not to destroy the yard. Strengthening the body with mana was allowed, but magic walls weren¡¯t. Since the weapons were made out of wood we wouldn¡¯t get hurt even if we didn¡¯t use any magic walls. Since it was just practice, we started it out by striking lightly while calling out the attack. However, as neither one of us could get an attack in this way, we decided to move on to the real thing. I was surprised to find that most of my attacks were blocked by Luca. He had specialized in swordsmanship from the start, but still, before I knew it, he¡¯d become this strong. I would still win against him if I used spells and magic defense, but that wouldn¡¯t be the case for very long. It would be frustrating to lose to Luca so I better do my best to get stronger as well. Around three hours went by like this ¨C sparring so heated I was drenched in sweat. Noel, who¡¯d been observing us, looked between Luca and I, anxious. It was fun though. After having lunch we all made our way back to the adventurer¡¯s guild. The task we were given was to clean the area around the square with the water fountain and to hang up decorations. It seems the square would be used as a break area on the day of the art festival. There were already a number of food and accessory wagons lined up in the square and there was also a sign advertising free wine that got Miranda very excited. I didn¡¯t know much about art, but since I also wanted to drink some wine, I¡¯d work hard. Luca and I went from lamppost to lamppost hanging strings of triangular flag decorations ¨C flag garlands of sorts. Since we could use our tentacles, we had no problem working in high places. Plus, the garlands were attached at regular intervals so we just had to hook them on the lampposts. Still I was mostly just holding the garlands and Luca was the one doing the actual hanging. It¡¯s because my black tentacles would look too ominous and might frighten the citizens. It was kind of unfair that the very same type of condensed mana would be considered pretty instead of ominous just because of its soft glow and lighter colour. Luca looked at me questioningly when I pouted. ¡°What¡¯s wrong Zagan? Is there a problem?¡± ¡°Nothing¡­¡± I felt pathetic having an inferiority complex over something that couldn¡¯t be helped and had to avoid Luca¡¯s eyes. As I did, I happened to see something floating into the sky. It was a balloon. A little bit further away I spotted a young girl who had fallen and was crying. The adult next to her reached out to grab the balloon, but it had already floated about five meters into the air and she couldn¡¯t reach it. On reflex, I extended three tentacles towards the balloon. The tips of the tentacles curled into hooks to stop the balloon from drifting further away. Then, carefully so as not to pop it, I grabbed onto the balloon with my tentacles and slowly brought it towards me. Grabbing onto the balloon¡¯s string, I quickly made the tentacle disappear. ¡°Hey Luca, bring this over to that kid.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who grabbed it for her, can¡¯t you hand it over?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a dark attribute user.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Zagan is so nice, catching the balloon for that little girl.¡± Luca wouldn¡¯t take the balloon from me, instead pushing me towards where that girl was. Noel, who had been working nearby, was using a healing spell on the girl¡¯s knee. The adult that was with the kid, probably her mother, was bowing to Noel, thanking her again and again. When Noel saw us coming she smiled brightly. ¡°Zagan-dono. Look, this onii-san brought your balloon back for you.¡± At Noel¡¯s words, both the girl and the mom turned my way. The mom let out a little shriek when she saw me. Well, yeah, that¡¯s how things were. The girl just stared at me. Anyway, it didn¡¯t seem like she was scared so I tried handing her the balloon. ¡°Hold on to it carefully so that it doesn¡¯t fly away again.¡± I said as gently as possible so as not to scare her. Maybe that¡¯s why she reached her small hand towards the balloon and firmly grabbed on to the string. ¡°Th-thank you, onii-chan.¡± The girl took her balloon and went back to staring at me. I didn¡¯t know why so I tilted my head at her. She blushed and hid behind her mother. I see¡­ ¡°Yup yup. I know how you feel ¡ª Zagan is so cool and beautiful, I get shy too. But he¡¯s mine, ok?¡± Please don¡¯t go picking fights with kids. Don¡¯t hug my waist and put your cheek on my head to show it off either. I was the one getting embarrassed here. Also, when the girl noticed Luca, her face got even redder. She¡¯d definitely been captivated by the sweet aura of the super-ikemen prince. ¡°Um. Thank you.¡± While I was being exasperated by Luca¡¯s behavior, the mom bowed to thank us. When she lifted her head she looked at Luca and Noel and at me as well. It was surprising¡­ I was happy about it though. The mother and daughter left holding hands. We talked to Noel for a bit and then went back to work. Several minutes after that, I sensed a strong ill-will directed towards me. The bloodlust I¡¯d felt yesterday had probably been emitted subconsciously, which was why I could only feel a little bit of it and why Luca didn¡¯t react either. Currently though, a very clear hatred was directed towards me. It wasn¡¯t simply bloodlust. She didn¡¯t want to kill me. Knowing that made me relieved. If she had turned her blade on me, I would have had to confront her, no questions asked. When I sighed, Luca hugged my waist and planted a kiss on my hair. ¡°Should we try talking to her later?¡± ¡°¡­ if it¡¯s just that she doesn¡¯t like me then it¡¯s best if we just leave her alone.¡± I¡¯d felt a similar level of hatred from Miranda when the two of us first met so I didn¡¯t really mind it. But¡­ what would happen if Noel started to notice it? ¡°If it¡¯s something that might ruin their relationship, I think we should point it out to her first.¡± ¡°I see. Then I¡¯ll try talking to her later.¡± Though I¡¯d decided to talk to her, I was still worried. Wouldn¡¯t it put a strain on her relationship with Noel? Luca pulled my head to him as I worried and patted it as if to comfort me. CH 52.2 We went back to the mansion before dinner. After we ate, Luca stood up and called out ¨C ¡°Nina. I want to talk with you about something. Let¡¯s go to the second floor.¡± ¡°Eh? With me? I don¡¯t mind but what¡¯s this about?¡± Though she was puzzled, Nina still went along with Luca. I sipped on my tea, trying my best not to look at her. When the two were out of sight I let out a breath of relief. I was worried that Nina would be furious for being singled out, but it would be worse if her and Noel¡¯s friendship fell apart if Noel ever found out about the ill-will Nina had towards me. So if we could make Nina aware of it now and advise her to hide her ill-will then her relationship with Noel could stay as is. Perhaps because I was still sitting or because Nina was called out, but Noel glanced between me and the door. The others were confused as well. ¡°It¡¯s rare for Luca to call for someone who¡¯s not Zagan.¡± ¡°Th-that¡¯s right. I wonder what he wanted to talk to Nina-san about?¡± ¡°It does make me curious but he called her out in front of all of us so it¡¯s probably not that big of a deal.¡± ¡°Right right. If it were something serious he¡¯d probably do it privately.¡± That¡¯s right, it wasn¡¯t anything serious. Nina just had some ill-will towards me. I don¡¯t need her to tell me why, I just wanted to ask her to hide it so that Noel doesn¡¯t find out. Because Noel, who has a strong sense of justice, would definitely reproach Nina if she knew about her feelings. Because that was all it was about, I was expecting the two of them to come back right away. All of a sudden though, I could feel Luca¡¯s mana pouring out. Thinking that something had happened, my head turned up towards the ceiling. ¡°Wait wait. What are those guys doing?¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we go check on them?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be right back!¡± ¡°W-wait Noel!¡± Noel got up abruptly, knocking over her chair which blocked my way and slowed me down considerably. By the time I picked up the chair, Noel had already left the living room and I tsked under my breath. In the end, since the rest of the girls had stood up as well, we all went up to the second floor. Immediately after arriving in the room where I could feel Luca and Nina¡¯s presence, I heard Noel shout ¨C ¡°What the hell is going on? Answer me, Luca!¡± Luca had grabbed Nina with his tentacles. Moreover, he had his sword out and was pointing the blade at her. Noel was hugging Nina, trying to protect her from Luca. Honestly, what happened? I couldn¡¯t see Nina¡¯s expression from where I was standing, but Luca was looking at her with a chilly gaze. He then scoffed at her. ¡°Nina¡¯s at fault here for cursing Zagan. I never thought you would speak ill of Zagan in front of me. I guess you¡¯re a lot dumber than I gave you credit for.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right¡­ didn¡¯t you know? That I¡¯ve been a thief since I was small and never went to school? A prince that lived without ever needing anything, who grew up in a happy place without having to worry about food could never understand what I went through!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand and I don¡¯t want to understand. You can groan about your misfortune all you want, but I don¡¯t even want to try to understand a foolish person who thinks everyone around them should be unhappy just because they are.¡± What happened? How did they get here? Wasn¡¯t he just asking her to hide her ill-will? ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s calm down. To start, Luca-kun let¡¯s put the sword away, ok? And let Nina-chan go?¡± Cindy smiled softly, trying to calm everyone down. Luca complied, sheathing his sword and retracting his tentacles. However, his scornful eyes remained the same. ¡°You¡¯re glad, aren¡¯t you? That I pulled my sword out? Thanks to that Noel is on your side. You¡¯re jealous of Zagan because he¡¯s strong, but blind to his own weaknesses? It¡¯s not fair that I¡¯m protecting him? He should have been killed as a baby like the dark attribute user that he is?¡­ I¡¯ve never heard such bullshit.¡± Nina said something like that? No wonder Luca got angry. If it were me and someone said that about Luca, I¡¯d have beaten them half to death. Also, to say that she wished I¡¯d been killed when I was a baby was saying that she wished my father had killed me. For Luca, who is a prince but respects my father so much that he continues to call him sensei, that could only be taken as an insult. Though I understood his anger, why did he say that in front of everyone? Sure enough, Noel let out a surprised sound and let go of Nina. I didn¡¯t want to put a dent on their friendship, but now the situation just got worse. Nina was definitely hurt. And Noel too. I wanted to do something but was afraid that anything I were to say would make it worse, so I stayed back and kept my mouth shut. ¡°Umu. I don¡¯t quite get what¡¯s going on, but is the reason for this because of the bloodlust Nina¡¯s been sending Zagan¡¯s way since yesterday?¡± So Camilla had noticed it too? Then Cindy probably had as well. When I glanced at her she gave me a smile. On the other hand, Noel, Miranda and Bennet who hadn¡¯t noticed it were flustered. ¡°Th-there was something like that? Nina-san, why¡­?¡± ¡°It¡¯s because I¡¯m a dark attribute user. It¡¯s not that strange.¡± ¡°That¡­ that might be so, but¡­ but Nina-san and Zagan-san took care of the horses together. You were chatting and getting along.¡± ¡°Even if we did work together that doesn¡¯t mean we have to have a good relationship. As long as the whole group runs smoothly does it matter what one person thinks about the other?¡± ¡°Ah-, I guess you¡¯re right. I hated you so much and that didn¡¯t really bother you. It¡¯s sad though, to get used to being hated.¡± (Miranda) I¡¯m not sad though? Thinking that, I looked at Miranda. Why did she give me a bitter smile and sigh? ¡°Ha¡­Ahaha. I see. I jumped to the wrong conclusion. Why¡­¡± Nina let out a dry laugh. Her knees crumpled under her and Noel supported her in a fluster. Luca¡¯s eyes, as he looked down at Nina who had lost the strength in her legs, were as cold as ever. ¡°Zagan can¡¯t seem to blame others for having ill-will towards him. Rather, he¡¯s so kind he was worried that your relationship with Noel would be damaged if she found out. I thought it would as well, because Noel respects Zagan, you see. That¡¯s why I was just going to tell you to hide it better.¡± ¡°¡­But Luca loves onii-san. You wouldn¡¯t have forgiven me, right?¡± ¡°Not really? No matter what anyone around us thinks, I¡¯ll protect Zagan¡¯s heart with lots of love so it¡¯s not a problem.¡± Luca¡¯s words were a bit embarrassing, but looking at it that way, Luca had pointed out Nina¡¯s ill-will towards me and she thought she was being criticized so she lashed out and cursed at me. Then Luca got angry and all of this happened. It was expected that when someone points out a person¡¯s wrongdoing, that person starts to get defensive and make up excuses. Then, if a quarrel starts, that person¡¯s emotions get violent and they start cursing others. I remember myself trying to argue with him when Luca pointed out that it¡¯s been three nights already, and had been worried that Nina would make the same mistake. The results are as you can see. Would it have been better not to talk to her? No, but when I imagined what would happen if Noel found out, I still thought it was better that Luca told her. Even if it resulted in this. Nina was looking at the ground, dejected and Noel gently stroked her head. ¡°Nina only showed ill-will towards onii-sama yesterday and today, right? Up until then you were talking with him normally. Nina is bright and cheerful and always taking care of me ¨C you¡¯re a kind person. That¡¯s why I believe that there must be a reason why you feel like this.¡± Noel comforted her softly. Nina then lifted her head, looked at Noel and little by little started telling us her story. CH 53.1 ¡°I was jealous¡­ of onii-san. He¡¯s a dark attribute user and should have been hated, but he¡¯s so pure1. I couldn¡¯t help but be jealous of onii-san who was strong enough and noble enough to survive on his own. I¡¯ve always stolen things, ever since I was little. I¡¯ve done a lot of unsavory things. After joining a group of thieves, I had only been deceiving others. Every day, I was either betraying or being betrayed. I had no choice but to live such a miserable life.¡± ¡°Nina¡­ that must have been hard.¡± Noel squeezed Nina in a hug. Miranda also sat down, kneeling on the floor next to Nina and patting her back. ¡°You¡¯re an orphan, right? So you had no other choice. You were just desperate to survive, so don¡¯t look down on yourself like that.¡± ¡°Mm, I understand. But even if you say I¡¯m an orphan, I lived a normal life until I was five, you know? I lived in a small town with my mama and papa and my grandparents. There was even a baby growing in mama¡¯s stomach. That was when we were the happiest. My little brother though¡­ he was born with the dark attribute. Because of that, everything was ruined.¡± Because of his attribute, Nina¡¯s father and grandparents decided to tell people that it was a stillbirth and to kill the child. The mother, however, resisted and the instant they tried to lay their hands on the baby she chanted a spell. As a result of that, the father, grandparents and midwife were gravely hurt. Due to the commotion, people found out about the baby¡¯s attribute. As the village was small, the news spread fast and Nina¡¯s family was ostracized. In the end, her little brother was killed and her mother was scorned by the entire village for giving birth to a devil. Nina¡¯s grandparents and even her father, who should have loved her mother, abandoned her and violently disparaged her. As they didn¡¯t even have food to eat, Nina and her mother had no choice but to leave the village. However, on the way to the next town, they were attacked by a monster and Nina¡¯s mother died. Nina barely managed to escape with her life, but she became an orphan at the age of five. She then settled in the slums and became a thief. ¡°I¡¯ve always thought that I was the only one who was miserable. I even thought that those people who had a happy life should just die. But onii-san, he was imprisoned in a basement and didn¡¯t even know his own mother¡¯s face. And to top it off, he was abandoned in the Great Forest when he was nine? It¡¯s a much crueler fate than I¡¯ve endured, and yet he¡¯s still pure¡­ I¡¯m so, so jealous. If only I was as strong as him, then I could¡¯ve stayed pure as well.¡± Nina was probably not referring to just physical strength, but strength of spirit as well. If she¡¯d been strong enough to defeat monsters and strong enough to endure solitude, she might have been able to live without resorting to crime. She might have stayed pure. ¡°I thought that if onii-san walked around with his hair exposed, everyone would hate him. I thought he would be despised like I had been. A lot of people pointed their fear and hatred at him, but he kept looking forward without faltering. So strong and beautiful. And he¡¯s being protected by Luca and the others, and the four grand dukes seem to be on his side? Even this city¡¯s lord has been following the papers. That¡¯s why today¡¯s been so peaceful, right?¡± I was also surprised by that. I thought the air around us would be filled with a more brutal sense of ill-will. I thought that people would hurl abuse at me and that some would try to attack me, like what had happened to the former Zagan. ¡°How enviable. I¡¯m jealous. My little brother was killed because of his attribute, so why is onii-san alive? Even though he has the dark attribute, he was loved by his father, is respected by his sister, and is protected by Luca. And why won¡¯t Luca betray him? Why are they still in love? Mama and papa should have loved each other, so why¡­? How did I become such a person?¡± Nina spat these words out as she cried. Her words were too pitiful ¡ª I didn¡¯t know what to say. I wasn¡¯t the only one. Luca stayed silent, with a sorrowful expression on his face. Camilla and Cindy were the same. Bennet just stood there crying. She didn¡¯t go to Nina¡¯s side, perhaps because she understood that, even if she did, she had nothing to say and would only trouble Nina. Nina was in Noel¡¯s arms and Miranda was hugging them both. I couldn¡¯t see their expressions though. Were tears streaming down their cheeks like those falling from Nina¡¯s eyes? As no one spoke, Nina sniffled and continued talking. ¡°Mama, just before she died, she told me that God would definitely save me. That I had to live. God didn¡¯t save me though. I always thought that it was only natural because God didn¡¯t really exist¡­ but he does. And he was betrayed by the humans and is trying to kill them all. Someone like that wouldn¡¯t save me¡­¡± God will save you. If those had been her mother¡¯s last words and her support, then our current realization about God must have been difficult for Nina. It was natural for her to grow angry at her own irrational circumstances. And then she could no longer hide her jealousy towards me. Noel suddenly lifted her head up. Her eyes were not wet with tears. On the contrary, she was looking at Nina with a strong gaze. ¡°Nina, thank you for continuing to stay alive despite the pain. I was able to meet you because you didn¡¯t give up. I was able to make a dear friend. I have no way to go back in time and save you from the past, but from now on I can stand by your side. I¡¯ll be with you always and will help you. So don¡¯t rely on God ¡ª rely on me instead. Please, Nina. My dearest Nina.¡± I hadn¡¯t been around Luca and the others for long so I didn¡¯t know how Noel and Nina¡¯s friendship had developed. But, cooperation between people was necessary when forming a party and clearing dungeons. Trust was paramount. When fighting together bonds are made and you become able to leave your life in another person¡¯s hands. The friendship born from such a place must be a strong one. ¡°I-I don¡¯t deserve to be loved by Noel. I was horribly envious of your wonderful brother and¡­ and even jealous of Noel. That¡¯s how ugly I am.¡± ¡°It¡¯s only human to be jealous! I am jealous of Luca. I don¡¯t have that much mana and I can only use recovery magic, so when I was little I was always jealous that Father taught Luca magic. To top it off, he has a vast amount of mana and is good with the sword ¡ª that¡¯s too much! I can¡¯t reach his level.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s like that, then I was jealous of Zagan. We¡¯re the same age but I¡¯m only an A rank adventurer while he¡¯s an S-rank. I can¡¯t help but be jealous.¡± (Luca) That¡¯s the first I¡¯ve heard of it. No, even if you tell me about it, there¡¯s nothing I can do. The only thing I could tell the two of them was to train hard and get stronger. Luca also probably didn¡¯t know that Noel had felt that way, and he looked at me with a mixed expression on his face. In the meantime, I used my tentacles to push Bennet, who was hesitating, closer to the three on the floor. She let out a panicked voice as she was pushed closer and the three of them looked up at her. I could finally see Nina¡¯s face and, despite her eyes being swollen from the crying, she seemed more refreshed. ¡°Em, um. I-I there were times when I got jealous of everyone because they were regular girls. But you all welcomed me with open arms. Especially Nina-san. Whenever I was troubled, you always supported me¡­ u, uwaaaaaa, Nina-saaaaaan.¡± Bennet cried and gave Nina a hug. ¡°Nina-san, I love Nina-san toooo!¡± ¡°Bennet¡­ sob¡­ Thank you. Me too, I also love everyone¡­¡± Nina returned Bennet¡¯s hug and then Noel and Miranda joined in as well. It seemed that this matter had been settled. I was worried about what would happen, but was glad things didn¡¯t get complicated. As I looked at the four of them hugging and talking, Luca came my way and hugged me tightly. When I returned his hug, he buried his face in my shoulder. We exited the room so Noel and the others wouldn¡¯t see us and I stroked Luca¡¯s back that was filled with silent anger. Perhaps unable to overlook Luca¡¯s state, Cindy called out to us. ¡°Luca-kun, Zagan-kun, I¡¯ll go downstairs and make us some warm milk. Let¡¯s drink some and calm down, hmm?¡± ¡°Thanks. Camilla, can I leave the rest to you?¡± (Zagan) ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll make sure you get an apology tomorrow so don¡¯t be too upset about it.¡± I wasn¡¯t upset, but because of Luca¡¯s current condition, I agreed to her consideration. Cindy went downstairs ahead of us. I patted Luca on the back and he sluggishly lifted his head, looking at me with a pained expression on his face. After a slight hesitation, I gave him a peck on the cheek. Luca blinked, unable to hide his joy despite his furrowed brows. ¡°Zagan¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go back down, hmm?¡± Before it was too late, I grabbed his hand and led him back down to the living room. As Cindy was still preparing the milk in the kitchen, we sat down on the sofa. Not side by side, but with me on Luca¡¯s lap. He was acting spoiled, burying his face in my neck and I stroked his hair. Not long after, Cindy came in holding a tray with some mugs on it. ¡°Here, Luca-kun. Zagan-kun too. I put a little rum and honey inside.¡±2 ¡°Thank you.¡± CH 53.2 ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Ufufu. You¡¯re welcome.¡± My palm grew warm as I held the mug. When I brought it up to my mouth, I could smell the soft aroma of milk, and when I drank from it, the warmth gradually spread in my stomach and I felt a relieved sigh escape my mouth. Luca¡¯s anger also seemed to have calmed down for the most part, his expression softening as he drank the milk. However, those complex emotions ¡ª sadness, hopelessness, had not gone away. Cindy sat down on an armchair and sipped from her mug. For some reason her expression was dark. That very same Cindy who was always smiling softly. ¡°Cindy, did something happen? You don¡¯t seem to be in a good mood.¡± She looked at me when I tried calling out to her. Though she gave me a smile, it seemed strained. Was it because of Nina¡¯s past? ¡°Speaking of which, Cindy, you came downstairs without saying anything to Nina, didn¡¯t you? Usually though you would have taken the initiative to comfort her.¡± ¡°Yeah¡­ Zagan-kun noticed, as expected.¡± ¡°Zagan is very attuned to other people¡¯s hearts, especially negative emotions. Maybe it¡¯s because he¡¯s Lune¡¯s descendant.¡± That might be the case. As I was a dark attribute user, a person who embodies negative emotions, it might be easier for me to perceive them than others. Furthermore, I was Lune¡¯s descendant which means I was even more sensitive to negative emotions than other people with the same attribute. However, as I didn¡¯t know the cause of these emotions, in the end I still had to ask the person involved. When I nodded in complete agreement, Luca let out a giggle and kissed my cheek. Cindy also gave a wry smile. ¡°As Zagan-kun mentioned, I think I would have normally gone to comfort her. But I have always lived a peaceful and uneventful life¡­ hearing a story like that, I didn¡¯t know what to say.¡± So you went downstairs? Indeed, in the game, Cindy was the only one who had a comedy route from beginning to end. Since she herself said that she lived peacefully, then it¡¯s unlikely she had a hidden past like Nina¡¯s that wasn¡¯t revealed in the game. Born to an ordinary family, she started going to school at age seven and was accepted into the royal academy at fifteen without a problem. She graduated at eighteen and was employed at the 3rd city¡¯s library. Without question, her life had been smooth sailing. But why did that matter? ¡°No matter what kind of life someone has led, they would have suffered at some point. They would have had a time when they were unhappy. Is there really any need to compare yourself to others?¡± Luca said it earlier as well: that the idea that others should be miserable because you were miserable was a foolish one. I was born with the dark attribute and imprisoned until I was nine. From the age of nine onwards, I lived in the Great Forest and was alone until I met Luca. From the perspective of other attribute users, that probably seemed like a miserable life. However, I didn¡¯t feel unfortunate and didn¡¯t see the need to compare myself to others. ¡°Nina talked about her past and Noel asked her about it because various things had stacked up on top of each other, causing Nina to have an outburst. I don¡¯t think she wanted to make you guys feel guilty. So isn¡¯t it ok to just comfort her without thinking too much about it?¡± ¡°But Nina-chan¡­ wouldn¡¯t she dislike receiving pity from others?¡± ¡°If it¡¯s from the people close to her, she probably wouldn¡¯t hate it. I was happy when Luca comforted me about my own past and am grateful to you guys as well. It¡¯s a bit questionable though to be told stuff like that by someone you¡¯re not close to.¡± I spoke honestly to Cindy, and Luca gave me a kiss on the lips. As that soft sensation left my lips, I looked at Luca from close up. ¡°Zagan, thank you for enduring by yourself and doing your best to live. Thank you for making your way to me. From the bottom of my heart, I¡¯m grateful for this miracle that has allowed us to meet.¡± He said these sweet words while smiling gently. It made my cheeks flush. There really was no reason to console me at the moment but I was happy, so I nodded back at him. Cindy was looking at us with a grin on her face. I still hadn¡¯t finished talking to her, so I averted my gaze from Luca. ¡°Anyway, wouldn¡¯t she be happy if Cindy, her close friend, comforted her? She isn¡¯t the kind of person who¡¯d reject other people¡¯s kindness. If she was the type to get carried away by her own misfortune, then someone as honest as Noel wouldn¡¯t have gotten so close to her.¡± Nina would only reject it if the sympathy she received was from me. This was because she thought that I, too, was miserable. It was highly likely that if I tried to comfort her, she¡¯d think I was making a snide remark instead. As expected, not saying anything was the safer choice. ¡°The only thing I can do for Nina is to stop the discrimination and prevent others from going through what she did. The country must change so that no one will be forced to kill the child that they bore.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. This shouldn¡¯t be a country where those who are kind experience misfortune. When I heard Nina¡¯s story, I thought that it wasn¡¯t just because of Zagan¡¯s attribute, but that I too had some responsibility as a prince. For a loving husband and wife¡­ for a harmonious family to have broken in an instant ¡ª it is too sad.¡± ¡°Then you owe Nina an apology.¡± ¡°Yes. The blood rose to my head and I said some terrible things in anger. If Nina apologizes to Zagan, then I will also properly apologise to her.¡± Of course, I nodded. There was no reason for me to apologise to someone who said, for whatever reason, that they wished I¡¯d been killed. As for Nina¡¯s apology, Camilla said she¡¯d get her to do it, so Luca and Nina should be reconciled by tomorrow. ¡°Ufufu. Indeed the future will be bright with Luca-kun and Zagan-kun there.¡± Cindy said cheerfully and I was relieved. ¡°We went into our own worlds in the middle there. Sorry Cindy.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all good. The thing with Nina-chan has already been settled. Also, it would make me happy as well if there was no more discrimination.¡± ¡°Really? I¡¯m not the reason, right?¡± The only people who¡¯d be happy when I became able to live a normal life would be Luca and Noel who had gone out of their way to express it in words. My thoughts probably weren¡¯t that far off since Cindy gave an unapologetic, wry smile. ¡°Of course, I¡¯d be happy if Zagan-kun wouldn¡¯t be discriminated against, but¡­ truthfully, in the last dungeon, a kid from the dark attribute users confessed to me. I think his name was Eloi-kun, hmmm¡­ do you remember when we were being held captive, the kid with the glasses that restrained me?¡± I nodded, recognizing who she was talking about. So that was glasses guy¡¯s name? Outwardly he looked like a difficult person, but he probably had an unfortunate character on the inside as well. Well, since there wasn¡¯t really any need for me to remember his name I decided to just keep calling him glasses guy. Anyway, in accordance with the game scenario, we met glasses guy at the 10th dungeon, which meant that there¡¯s a high likelihood that we¡¯d encounter the female pervert at the 11th dungeon. ¡°I was really surprised ¡ª I didn¡¯t think he¡¯d confess in a dungeon, let alone in front of Luca and the others. He even gave me a big bouquet of roses. Despite that, his eyes were glued to my chest the whole time. Ufufu, it was rather amusing.¡± Truly an unfortunate personality, that glasses guy. Though according to Cindy, that was what made him cute. But he was a dark attribute user ¡ª a member of an organization that was trying to destroy this country. Which was why Cindy put her answer to his confession on hold. She said though that if there hadn¡¯t been any discrimination, she would have liked to tell him yes. ¡°Seeing Luca-kun and Zagan-kun get along so well, I started wishing that I, too, had a lover. So, as one does, I tried imagining what kind of person would be a good fit for me. And when I did, for some mysterious reason, Eloi-kun felt like the perfect fit.¡± I got it. Cindy was very tolerant and reliable, so rather than a muscular man, maybe an unreliable guy would be a better fit for her. Also, she seemed to like the fact that he was faithful to his desires and wasn¡¯t trying to hide them. Cindy was the type of woman who would invite someone to kinesthetic sex after all. There were all kinds of people in this world. After that, Cindy shared a little bit more about her love story. She¡¯d actually first met with glasses guy back in June. She was researching about the goddess in the library and he¡¯d called out to her. He told her she had nice, round glasses but his gaze was focused on her chest. It seemed they¡¯d even gone out for lunch a couple of times. Rather invested in his friend¡¯s love story, Luca had completely recovered, and he rested his cheek on my head, occasionally humming and nodding at Cindy¡¯s story. However, there was one problem. Cindy had talked about when there would be no more discrimination, but I wasn¡¯t sure if the Dark Organization would be left unharmed after they resurrect the Evil God. Although I had no intention to leave them to die in the first place, I also had no confidence that I¡¯d be able to save them. I felt apologetic towards Cindy because of that. CH 54.1 As the number of people I cared about increased, so did the number of things I wanted to protect. ¡ª¡±I¡¯ll follow you two wherever you go. I believe that Luca-kun and Zagan-kun will make a wonderful future for us.¡± Essentially, the future was something unpredictable. So, if glasses guy were to die, Cindy would not blame me. But as a friend, I couldn¡¯t betray her trust. I couldn¡¯t just leave them to die, knowing that if I didn¡¯t do something about it, they would surely die. I had to find a way to keep them alive one way or the other. ¡°Onii-san, Luca. I¡¯m sorry for the terrible things I said to you yesterday!¡± The following morning, as Luca and I entered the living room, Nina approached us with a serious expression on her face and bowed her head with force. After staring in surprise at Nina¡¯s head, which was trembling slightly, I turned my attention to my friends, who were watching with bated breath. Then, I looked at Luca, who smiled and nodded. ¡°Of course I forgive you. I¡¯m sorry I said some hurtful things, too. Can you forgive me?¡± Luca put his hand on Nina¡¯s shoulder and apologised. Nina looked up timidly, perhaps because of the tenderness in his voice. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Luca smiling as usual. ¡°Yes. I¡¯m really sorry too. Um¡­¡± Next, she turned to me, but since she didn¡¯t personally say these things to me in the first place, there was nothing to condone or forgive. ¡°As I said yesterday, I don¡¯t care what other people think of me. If they express something directly to me, I will respond accordingly, but if it is just thoughts, they are free to do what they want. Therefore, you don¡¯t need to apologise for your outburst about me. However, if it is an apology for hurting Luca, I will accept it.¡± I was honestly irritated that she had hurt Luca¡¯s feelings and made him so sad. Maybe because I showed how angry I was, Nina stiffened up with a jerk. Immediately Luca held me by the waist and kissed me on the cheek to calm me down, so I suppressed the intimidation that had leaked. ¡°Um¡­ yeah. I¡¯m really sorry I hurt Luca.¡± ¡°Agreed. And one piece of advice. No matter what kind of life you have led up to now, if you ever betray Noel, I will never forgive you.¡± Nina was a bandit until she followed Luca. She has been betrayed and has betrayed others, as she said so herself. So, I gave her a warning. However, I am not so worried because when Noel was covered in wounds before, Nina was so furious that she cut off the other woman¡¯s arms. ¡°I won¡¯t betray her, I swear it.¡± ¡°Then that¡¯s good. Nina, please continue to look after Noel.¡± ¡°¡­Yes! Thank you, Onii-san!¡± Her smile was bright and cheerful, typical of Nina. She ran up to Noel, who looked relieved and hugged her. Noel hugged her back, and the two exchanged a look and smiled happily. While I was watching them, Luca pulled me into a hug. ¡± ¡­? Luca, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I wonder~! Fufu, you¡¯re really cute, Zagan. I love you. I love you so much.¡± Was there any particular reason for him to call me cute (at that moment)? I tilted my head in confusion, but since Luca looked so happy, I just quietly stayed in his arms. It was comforting to be wrapped in Luca¡¯s arms. It also felt good to be showered with kisses on my head and forehead. ¡°All right! Let¡¯s have a drink to cheer us up! We¡¯re going to have a party all day!¡± (Miranda) ¡°Huh? Didn¡¯t you say something about drinking in the morning before?¡± (Nina) ¡°Last time was last time, and now is now. Don¡¯t worry about the details!¡± (Miranda) ¡°Ehh¡­ Well, fine then. Let¡¯s have a fun party!¡± (Nina) ¡°Yes! Let¡¯s have lots of fun today with Onii-sama and Luca too!¡± Hearing Noel¡¯s words, they must have had fun with each other last night. I was glad to see them getting along so well. ¡°Oh¡­ u-um. We haven¡¯t discussed this with Luca-san; is that okay?¡± (Bennett) ¡°Yeah, you can leave those two on their own. They will be here in a while.¡± (Cindy) ¡°Bennett-chan, let¡¯s start preparing right away. I¡¯ll help you.¡± (Camilla) The smell of the delicious food made my stomach rumble. When I looked up at Luca, he chuckled and let go of my hand. After retiring the couch to a corner as Miranda, who was preparing the drinks, told me to do, I joined Noel, Nina, and Camilla in bringing out the food and dishes. Once everyone was seated on the floor, we toasted. Then we all had a relaxing morning meal together while playing various games. ¡°Zagan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Luca looked at me from behind, and we locked eyes. He looked worried. Hence, I pondered and searched for a reason. Was it because my black hair, the object of discrimination, was showing? No, that was not it. I already confirmed that it was published and recorded in the newspapers, and I didn¡¯t think anything about it. It wasn¡¯t that¡­ ¡°¡­When I was alone, the idea of taking my own pictures never occurred to me. That¡¯s why it¡¯s kind of strange to take a picture of my own volition and have the proof of it in my hand.¡± ¡°I see. I¡¯m so glad you got your pictures taken with us.¡± I nodded. I would have never done this on my own. It was because Noel invited me. Because Luca was there, I was able to record it in this way. And I was very happy to be in the photo with Luca and Noel. However, I was embarrassed to take a picture of Luca kissing me on the cheek. Luca always seemed to have this happy expression on his face as he kissed me. ¡­I¡¯ll save it properly. Our excited friends started practising their dance moves, so we joined them. We broke up a little later in the evening, and Luca embraced me as usual in the night. CH 54.2 The next day, at the Art Festival. Although this event in the game required choosing one of the heroines, this time too, there was no particular invitation. Luca and I were holding hands from the time we left the residence. Since there were various festivities here and there, and everyone had different places they wanted to go, Luca and I walked around the town by ourselves. Even though our friends weren¡¯t surrounding me, I no longer felt any malice (directed at me). Luca¡¯s presence, the newspaper¡¯s effect, and above all, the cheerful and joyful atmosphere of the festival probably helped to erase any lingering negativity from the people. Of course, there were still some stares aimed at us, but most of them were out of interest, envy, or excitement. It was a natural reaction since the second prince was nearby and was enjoying the Art Festival just as much as they were. We could hear occasional music and see various street performers. The stalls were all lined up in a row, with vendors selling their own works of art. Although I did not know much about art, I enjoyed just walking around. The food and free wine were delicious too. Unlike our friends, I had no particular destination in mind. So, I thought I would just follow Luca. We took a few detours here and there before we arrived at a gorgeous and magnificent-looking building some time after noon. It seemed to be a museum. However, I recognized a large poster on the bulletin board near the gate and couldn¡¯t help but stare at Luca. He smiled happily and kissed me on the cheek. ¡°The other day, you were pointing at this poster of the mechanical clock exhibition and showed interest in it. But it¡¯s only open until November 20th, so I thought you and I should visit it today.¡± ¡°I see. I, um¡­ appreciate it. I¡¯m really interested in it, so I¡¯m happy. But, is it okay to visit a place that has nothing to do with the festival?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already had plenty of fun, and I don¡¯t want too many people staring at us. I¡¯d rather take refuge somewhere where I can relax with you, Zagan. Is that not okay?¡± I shook my head no, then immediately pulled Luca¡¯s hand and went through the gate. I was fascinated by the over 100 mechanical clocks that were on display. We bought a thick pamphlet first and compared the photos with the clocks. It even explained their mechanisms, magic stones, and magic circuits. So, that alone was very satisfying. Luca held me by the waist and stayed by my side the whole time. Feeling that I was the only one enjoying myself, I told him that there were various regular exhibits in the museum that we could go to, but he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, okay?¡± Since I went to the trouble of explaining their structures, he listened to me with a smile and nodded along, but it was probably difficult, wasn¡¯t it? Magic circuits were quite complicated, after all. Yet, I kept getting the feeling that he was happy, and he would often kiss me on the head and rub our cheeks together, so I guessed Luca was having a good time in his own way. That night, after taking a bath, I suddenly remembered something while checking my luggage for the dungeon dive that we would be starting tomorrow, so I called out to Luca. ¡°I forgot to tell you. During the dungeon dive, we¡¯ll be working separately.¡± ¡°¡­Eh? You¡¯re not going with us?¡± ¡°Yeah. If Orobas were to stand in front of us as a test to rescue the goddess, we would definitely have to win. Therefore, to become even stronger, I¡¯m going to defeat every single enemy that I can. I¡¯m sorry, but I do not intend to match your or the others¡¯ pace, nor do I intend to join you and hinder your own progress as a result.¡± ¡°It is true that if you were to get serious, you could take down all the enemies by yourself.¡± I nodded. If that were to happen, Luca would not be able to grow stronger at all, which would be very troubling. ¡°Luca, you also plan to beat Orobas, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Of course. Otherwise, I would not be able to marry you. I need master¡¯s approval.¡± Before I knew it, he changed the premise of marriage. When did discrimination against dark attribute users cease to exist? Heck, I didn¡¯t even mention that. As for why he wanted to get married, I didn¡¯t quite get it. Since we were both men and would not be able to have children, I hardly saw the need for it. Well, anyway. ¡°Then it would be better to dive separately. That way, both you and I would become stronger than we are now. And since I planned to spend the evenings making modifications to the magic barrier, even if we were together, we would have to stay in separate tents in any case.¡± ¡°Oh, right. If I were around, we would be having sex, and you wouldn¡¯t be able to concentrate. I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t notice.¡± No, you were aware of it! And you went out of your way to make me feel embarrassed by verbalising it. Even though I knew it too, my face burned, and he smiled at me. ¡°Zagan, you¡¯re so cute. I love you.¡± He kissed me on the lips, and then he pushed me down on the bed and draped himself over me. After kissing me on the forehead and the corner of both eyes, he hugged me tight and stroked my ass. ¡°It¡¯s so lonely and hard to be away from you for two weeks again, Zagan. But for the sake of our future, I¡¯m going to have to be patient. In return, can I get lots of loving tonight?¡± ¡°Nn. ¡­That¡¯s¡­ If you have any requests, I¡¯m willing to listen to them.¡± Despite saying that, I was embarrassed, so I tried to bury my face in Luca¡¯s neck. But Luca raised his body a little and looked at me seriously. ¡°Zagan, what did you just say?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± Luca chuckled happily at my quick denial. ¡°I see. You didn¡¯t say anything, huh? But thank you. Can you do me a favour right now?¡± CH 55 No content CH 56.1 There were considerably less participants in the 11th dungeon. S-1 ranked monsters would often come out and from time to time an S rank monster was encountered. On top of that, the boss was an SS-level Kijin2. This was why the people who came to clear the dungeon were usually 40-year-old magic knight veterans or small parties of 40-year-old S rank adventurers. I could see such a party standing in the main hall of the dungeon. There was a guy among them whose hair wasn¡¯t that dark, but he had about the same level of mana as Camilla. Furthermore, he seemed to be the musclehead vanguard type. It was clear that he¡¯d trained long and hard and his dedication impressed me. Each and every one of the members of that party looked dignified and they were well-equipped. Clearly, they were all strong adventurers. I watched as they chose a path and disappeared down it, and afterwards, we too moved to the center of the hall. ¡°In another 20 years¡­ I wonder if I¡¯ll also have such a dignified aura.¡± ¡°Hmm, Zagan is beautiful and has a slender body, so I wonder about that¡­ though if you meant you wanted to be as intimidating as them, then you already are.¡± ¡°Yes. When nii¡ª ¡­ Zagan-dono is with Luca and relaxing, you hide it, but in situations like this when you¡¯re preparing for battle, you exude and intimidating pressure. Sensing such an enormous amount of mana, there¡¯s no one who would think they can beat you.¡± That was too much of a compliment. The reason others were shocked when they saw me was probably because of my black hair. Speaking of which, it felt like there were also some people admiring me. Well, we were dungeon diving right now. When I remembered that, I turned to look at Luca and he hugged me tightly. He kissed me on the head and on the cheek, then stared into my eyes while stroking my hair lovingly. ¡°Like always, I¡¯ll make sure to call every morning and every evening. Zagan too, if anything happens make sure to call me. I love you.¡± ¡°Mn. I love you too. Be safe.¡± I gave him a hug and then let go. It¡¯d be a little lonely, but we should see each other once these two weeks were over. Since we¡¯d definitely be ok and meet again, it was find to just have a simple goodbye. ¡°Zagan-dono, let¡¯s both do our best!¡± (Noel) ¡°Don¡¯t do something reckless just because you¡¯re strong.¡± (MIranda) Don¡¯t worry ¡ª I¡¯ll keep Noel safe!¡± (Nina) ¡°U-um, please be careful.¡± (Bennet) ¡°You¡¯re a levelheaded guy; I¡¯m not that worried.¡± (Camilla) ¡°Then, Zagan-kun, we¡¯ll see you when this is over.¡± (Cindy) ¡°Yeah. You guys too, be careful not to die.¡± I said looking back at Luca and the girls and waving at them. I then chose a suitable path and went on my way. I made my way through the dungeon, defeating the monsters I encountered on the way. As it was only the first level, the monsters were still just A+ level. However, it¡¯s been a month since I¡¯ve last subjugated a monster, and no matter how fast I plow through them I wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the deepest levels of the dungeon; I wouldn¡¯t be able to go past the Akashic records of the game. Which was why I paid more attention to my surroundings than usual and walked about at my own pace. I solved the gimmicks that blocked my path and went down flights of stairs whenever I saw them. This way I was bound to encounter an S- monster before long. Behemoth. It was a monster similar to the minotaur with a body three times the size of a human¡¯s. As it was an S- monster, its armor was of course harder than that of a minotaur and it was more powerful. And though it appeared to be a slow and heavy beast, it could move quite swiftly. Perhaps because I wasn¡¯t doing that good of a job hiding my presence, the behemoth soon noticed me and immediately came over to intimidate me. That kind of behavior wasn¡¯t going to stop me though. I also let out my power to intimidate it, and the behemoth let out a little growl before roaring. ¡°Guooooooo!!!¡± it attacked. I jumped high to avoid the attack as numerous, thorn-like spikes burst up from the ground. As if it knew that that was what I was going to do, the behemoth swiped at me with its talons, but it was too late. When I had jumped I¡¯d stretched out my tentacles towards its neck and shortened them in an instant, sending me flying forward and allowing me to dodge its claws. The momentum threw me over the behemoth¡¯s head. I loaded the dagger in my right hand with mana as I landed on the ground behind the beast. ¡°Secret Skill ¡ª Twilight.¡± I murmured, shrouding the dagger with mana until it became a long, black sword. Then I leaped into the air once again. As the behemoth turned around to face me, I slashed my blade. Its head, its arm, its legs and finally its body were bisected. The moment I landed back on the ground, mana poured out of the behemoth and it disappeared without even being able to let out a sound. Several mana stones fell to the ground. ¡°Was it overkill¡­?¡± This sword skill was something that I¡¯d picked up while dueling with Luca. It was the first time I had acquired a secret skill and I wanted to test it out, but it truly was powerful, being able to defeat an S- monster in a single strike. It did of course consume an equivalent amount of mana though. Still, I was able to actually feel that I¡¯ve gotten stronger. At night, at around eleven, I finally found the second safe-space of the day and set up my usual tent right away. I¡¯d found the first safe-space at around three pm, so I just passed it by and it took me this long to find another one. I could have taken a break anywhere really, but unfortunately there wouldn¡¯t have been a barrier that could prevent an attack from an S rank monster. Though it would have been possible for me to get some sleep, I would have had to keep using my mana and stay alert to my surroundings. As I probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to get much rest, I was glad that I discovered the second safe-space. After unloading my stuff inside the tent, I leaned against the cushion to rest for a second before taking out my communication device and calling Luca. He picked up right away. ¡°Hello, Zagan? Are you ok?¡± ¡°Yeah. I¡¯ve only just gotten to a safe-space.¡± ¡°Oh great. That¡¯s a relief.¡± Luca had actually called me first two hours ago, but I told him that I was on the move since I couldn¡¯t find a safe-space. He¡¯d also called me about an hour ago and I had made him worried that I still hadn¡¯t found a place to rest. ¡°If you called as soon as you settled down, does that mean you haven¡¯t had dinner yet?¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll eat after this. For the rest of today my plan is to fill my stomach, rest for a bit and then go to sleep. And then tomorrow I thought I¡¯d stay here and work on improving the magic barrier device.¡± ¡°I see¡­ would it be ok to keep the call going while you eat?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind. I won¡¯t be able to answer you that much though.¡± ¡°Thanks. I¡¯m already lying down inside the tent, but I got lonely all of a sudden. (sigh) I want to hold you.¡± Luca said, sounding lonely and strangely enough I got lonely as well. I was the one who decided to move separately from him though. I swallowed down my words and didn¡¯t tell him that I felt the same. Luca heard me let out a vague sigh and laughed. As I ate my bento, Luca told me about his day ¨C about the monsters he fought and about the conversations he and the girls had. This continued while I drank some tea after dinner, while I was getting ready for bed and as I slipped inside the futon. In the end, we kept the call going until just before we went to sleep and only then said our goodbyes. ¡°Good night Zagan. I love you.¡± His words made me feel happy, but I was still lonely without Luca¡¯s warmth. CH 56.2 It had been a number of days since we went into the dungeon and I was concentrating on working on the magic barrier. I had to make sure to polish up the barrier that had protected the 9th city. Then I had to make sure to deliver it, even if by force, to the middle-aged man from the Dark Organization that we will meet in the 12th dungeon. If, for example, I hand them 100 MP potions, they¡¯ll just be suspicious that they¡¯re poisoned or think that I was trying to win them over. But, in the case of the magic barrier, they¡¯ll just be confused as to why I¡¯m giving it to them because they aren¡¯t aware of the reasoning behind it. That¡¯s because I¡¯m improving the barrier to block off all attributes. It truly was a magic tool whose only purpose was to protect. By the night of the 16th, I was almost done with my modifications. The communication device rang earlier than usual. I wondered if something had happened as I answered the call. ¡°Evening Zagan. You¡¯ve worked hard today as well.¡± ¡°Nii-sama, good evening. How have you been?¡± It was Luca and Noel and I could hear the others in the background. They all seemed to be standing next to the communication device. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve been good. You guys sound energetic as well.¡± ¡°Yes! I got to hear Nii-sama¡¯s voice so I¡¯m full of energy!¡± I couldn¡¯t help but smile at Noel¡¯s cute answer. Actually, I started to feel lonely all of a sudden. I wondered why and then quickly realized that it¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve been completely alone. Last month after Luca and the others cleared the dungeon, I spent all of my days not only with Luca, but with the girls as well. When I was training with Luca or when I worked in the living room, there was always someone else there in the space around me. Noel who stared at me working and Nina next to her polishing some coins or a jewel. Miranda, sitting at the dinner table, making wood carvings. Camilla with her silent alchemy and the sounds of Bennet cooking in the kitchen. And, of course, Cindy sitting on the sofa and quietly reading a book. Perhaps it¡¯s because I¡¯d gotten used to such an environment that I¡¯ve started to feel lonely now that I couldn¡¯t sense their presence around me as I worked. Which was why, when I heard their voices, I too became full of energy. I didn¡¯t go out of my way to tell them that though. I continued working as I listened to Noel talk and then, from the side, I could hear Miranda¡¯s voice. ¡°Noel, can¡¯t it be my turn soon?¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. Nii-sama, I¡¯m handing you over to Miranda.¡± Miranda wants to talk to me? As I was wondering about that, I could hear everyone¡¯s voices fade away. There was the sound of footsteps so Miranda must have been on the move. After a couple of seconds I could hear Miranda groan. ¡°Ah, um, well¡­ that, you know, today I met that woman.¡± She told me, her voice faltering. I see, so they met the female pervert after all. ¡°So¡­ you had a proper conversation with her?¡± ¡°Yeah. When we first met she stupidly showed hostility towards us and I got pissed off, but I remembered the promise I made you and managed to calm down somehow. Luca and the others also calmed down. And then I tried asking her¡­ about him¡­¡± There was a slight pause. I waited without saying anything and eventually Miranda let out a sigh. ¡°¡­ she didn¡¯t remember him. She¡¯s killed a lot of people.¡± She told me quietly with a subdued voice. Well¡­ the incident where she killed Miranda¡¯s fianc¨¦ was four years ago. To her, he must have been just one of the many males of various attributes who came near her. In the first place, for a dark attribute user like her to wear such an exposing outfit, you could pretty much guess what she was trying to do. It seemed that my guess wasn¡¯t wrong. ¡°Since a long time ago people would try to kill her just because of her attribute¡­ they sexually assaulted her as well. When she killed all those men who did that to her, she was picked up by the Dark Organization, but she found herself seducing men and killing those that she lured in.¡± In the end it seems that dark attribute users aren¡¯t able to live honest lives in Soleil. The harsh environment forces them to kill or be killed, until they become mentally ill and start to kill again and again. Just like what happened to the original Zagan. But that woman, when I told her about the value of a life she teared up. It was proof that she was trapped inside that sense of fear that she¡¯d be killed if she didn¡¯t kill first, and proof that she continues to suffer even as she kills. ¡°It might give you some mixed feelings, but¡­ I honestly think that there are men out there who would be seduced by a woman like that even if she was a dark attribute user.¡± ¡°Haha, that might be true¡­ even I¡¯d get a bit excited if a gentlemanly fellow held my hand. Well, you and Luca probably wouldn¡¯t be able to relate.¡± I didn¡¯t deny it. I never thought of wanting to touch any human other than Luca and Noel, and Luca is the kind of man who¡¯d choose me even when surrounded by women. No matter who tried to seduce us, I fully believe we wouldn¡¯t give in to the temptation. By the way, so Miranda¡¯s type was an older gentleman? But from her stories, her fianc¨¦ was a good-for-nothing. Is this what people mean when they say fantasy is different from reality? ¡°Oh yeah, I asked her for her name. It¡¯s Sophia. She has a cuter name than you¡¯d expect, right? I told her my name as well and she just snorted. She acted like she wasn¡¯t interested but I think she¡¯ll properly remember my name.¡± Unlike in the game, the two seemed to have had a calm conversation. And both seemed happy about it. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m glad I got to talk to Sophia. And I finally got to put that guy behind me. I mean, he always nagged me, worried that I¡¯ll get snatched by some other guy and then he tried to cheat on me? What an asshole.¡± ¡°Yeah, people who cheat should be stopped. It¡¯ll only lead to suffering afterwards.¡± I¡¯ve never met the guy in person so I couldn¡¯t call him a piece of shit, but still, in this world there are plenty of other men for Miranda to choose from. When I told her my thoughts, Miranda started laughing, but in the next moment a sob got stuck in her throat. I could hear her sniffling as well. I stayed quiet for a moment until Miranda let out a self-deprecating snort. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m crying again. Still, I wanted to tell you this no matter what.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind. If crying can help you let go of the past, then you can cry however much you want.¡± ¡°You¡¯re¡­ a good guy. You and Luca suit each other.¡± ¡°I¡¯m happy to hear that. I¡¯ll do my best to stay by his side from now on as well.¡± ¡°Luca said the same thing. You guys really are made for each other. He said he wanted to become the type of man who can stand by Zagan¡¯s side. It¡¯s the best ¨C two people doing their best to stay together. Oops, it looks like Luca is going to get angry if I don¡¯t hand you to him soon.¡± She was still crying, but it would probably be better if Noel and the others comforted her instead of me. After a short wait, I started to hear the other¡¯s voices again. It sounded like Luca took over the communication device and stepped inside the tent, because I could hear him tell the girls goodnight. Then it got quiet. ¡°Finally it¡¯s just the two of us. Miranda said she had to talk to you no matter what, but she didn¡¯t say anything weird, did she?¡± ¡°Weird? Not really. She talked about the woman you guys met today and about her former fianc¨¦. She also told me that you and I suit each other.¡± I didn¡¯t tell him that Miranda¡¯s type was an older gentleman. That might fall under the category of weird things that Luca had mentioned, but I didn¡¯t think it was right for me to spread the news about what type of guy Miranda liked. Still, Luca sighed in relief. ¡°I see. That¡¯s fine then. As long as it doesn¡¯t make Zagan worry.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Luca¡­ the only one who can make my heart waver?¡± ¡°Eh? Are you lonely without me? why¡¯d you have to go and say something so cute?¡± ¡°No. I-I didn¡¯t say anything about that.¡± I was lonely, but I was supposed to be controlling myself so that he wouldn¡¯t notice. And yet he pointed it out so bluntly, I ended up blurting something out. To make matters worse, my face had gone red because I could hear Luca laughing. Ugh, how embarrassing. Should I just hang up on him? But I couldn¡¯t bring myself to actually hang up. I glared at the device until Luca stopped laughing. ¡°Sorry for laughing. I¡¯m extremely lonely when I can¡¯t hold Zagan in my arms.¡± He said it so smoothly that I started feeling even more lonely and my heart squeezed from the love I felt for him. Luca truly was an unfair man. ¡°¡­ You have that photo we took together, right? You can just look at that.¡± ¡°Eh? Don¡¯t tell me ¨C you¡¯re distracting yourself from your loneliness by looking at a photo of the two of us? Oh god, you¡¯re just too cute.¡± ¡°¡­, ¡­¡­¡­¡± Why¡¯d I have to go and tell him that? Damn,I was so embarrassed, I wanted to bury myself in the blanket. As Luca had pointed out, since our second night in the dungeon, I¡¯d been looking at that photo. I could no longer endure being on my own. But that didn¡¯t mean that I¡¯d grown weak. It¡¯s because I¡¯m lonely that I can do my best until we see each other again. I wanted to show him how much I¡¯d grown as a person. ¡°Fufu, I¡¯m so happy. I love you Zagan. Next time, let¡¯s go buy a picture frame together.¡± ¡°¡­ Yeah, ok.¡± Even though it was just over the phone, hearing Luca laugh happily and tell me he loves me made me want to try that much harder. CH 57.1 No content CH 57.2 ¡°Haa, so cute. Zagan, you are really cute. It looks really good on you.¡± I was alone with Luca in the men¡¯s changing room. I changed while defending myself with my tentacles against Luca¡¯s attempts to touch me. The clothes he had decided for me after talking to the tailor were quite fashionable. The back of the black jacket extended to my knees. The entire jacket was embroidered with a gold pattern while the ribbon was blue. Maybe it was to match Luca¡¯s hair and eyes. As for the overly long sleeves, they were only a little lacey on the part coming out of the jacket. The trousers were a black, sleek type, and the leather shoes were black as well. He seemed to have taken into consideration the fact that I was uncomfortable in anything but black. In any case, I thought it looked cool, but Luca still considered it cute. Rather, I felt that he said ¡®cute¡¯ about everything these days, as long as it involved me. You can call me cool too, you know? Incidentally, there was no other way to describe Luca except to say that he looked regal. He was glamorous and incredibly good-looking. So good-looking. I couldn¡¯t find any other words to describe him. What a handsome guy; which prince is he? Oh, he¡¯s the prince of this country. ¡­Oh my god!! Perhaps noticing my thoughts, Luca smiled softly and gently hugged me. ¡°What about me? Do I look good?¡± He whispered in my ear. However, I couldn¡¯t see his entire body since he was hugging me, and he must have felt my emotions because I had absorbed so much of his mana. And yet, he kept gazing at me, staring fixedly into my eyes. ¡°W-Well¡­ You look the same as always.¡± ¡°Fufu, your cheeks are red, Zagan. Your ears, too. It¡¯s really cute that you won¡¯t say it frankly despite looking at me with such fascination.¡± He kissed my earlobe. Ugh, if you already knew, then please don¡¯t point it out every single time. Feeling embarrassed and helpless, I buried my face in Luca¡¯s chest. He kissed me on the head and then rubbed his cheek against me. Regardless of how much he had dressed up like a prince, I was relieved to see that underneath it all Luca was still the same as always. The girls took a while to get ready. So it was about an hour after they entered the changing area that Noel and the others were done. ¡°Wow! Zagan-dono, you look stunning!¡± Noel, dressed in a beautiful light blue dress, came running toward us. Her hair was styled for the party and she completed the look with earrings. Most importantly, she was wearing makeup. I was surprised to see how much she had transformed at the artisans¡¯ hands. ¡°You look very beautiful, Noel. So very mature.¡± ¡°Thank you, Zagan-dono. I¡¯m so flattered!¡± I wanted to pat Noelle¡¯s head as she flashed me a cute smile, but I kept just nodding my head instead so I didn¡¯t ruin the arrangement of her hair. Each of our friends had also become beautiful, but I didn¡¯t voice it because Luca would have sulked. Instead, Luca addressed them. ¡°You look beautiful, Noel. Nina, too. Camilla and Bennett are so lovely, and Miranda and Cindy look charming.¡± ¡°Thank you, Luca. You look amazing, too. Rather dazzling. So sparkly.¡± (Nina) ¡°Hah. You really are a prince after all, huh?¡± (Miranda) ¡°You¡¯ve been so flirty with Zagan-kun lately that your majestic aura was fading. Fufu, you two look so dreamy too.¡± (Cindy) ¡°Yup, yup, so handsome, aren¡¯t they? You might attract the attention of the entire hall.¡± (Camilla) ¡°T-They look so cool. I can¡¯t help admiring them. I¡¯m really looking forward to seeing you two dance¡­¡± (Bennett) Dancing, huh? Certainly, if Luca were to dance now, he would attract even more attention than usual. It would probably overshadow my black hair, even if I were beside him. Nobody would notice if I made the slightest mistake and almost fell or something (because of their focus on Luca). All right. While listening to the girls¡¯ lively chatter, I boarded one of the carriages that was waiting for us outside. There were two luxurious box-shaped carriages. Luca, Noel, Nina, and I were in the front carriage. Following in the back were Miranda, Camilla, Bennett, and Cindy. Inside the carriage, Luca told us about the precautions to take at the party. I must stay close to Luca no matter what. Since Luca was a prince, some might greet him even if I, a dark-haired man, was by his side. However, as Luca would introduce me as his fianc¨¦e, I should remain silent (and let him do the talking). If I were to converse with them, as an S rank adventurer, I should never use polite speech. ¡°If they think you¡¯re on the same level as them, they may be snarky because of the difference in status. Remain as aloof as always.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry; I only use polite speech with my father.¡± ¡°Is that so? Fufu, you are so cute, Zagan. How typical of you~!¡± What in the world was so cute about that? We didn¡¯t fully see eye to eye (on this). But Luca kissed my head happily, so I kept my mouth shut. ¡°We don¡¯t have to force ourselves to use honorifics either, do we?¡± (Nina) ¡°Yes. We have been invited tonight as Luca¡¯s companions, so we don¡¯t have to use them.¡± (Noel) ¡°Then I¡¯m glad. I¡¯m not good with polite speech. But I wonder if there will be men who will ask me for a dance.¡± (Nina) ¡°It will be alright. You¡¯re very beautiful, Nina, so I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll get a lot of offers.¡± (Noel) ¡°You think so? Hehe, I¡¯d be happy if that¡¯s the case. You¡¯re very beautiful too, Noel, so I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll get a lot of offers to dance too.¡± (Nina) ¡°Thank you! But please dance with me first.¡± (Noel) ¡°Oh, that¡¯s okay with you? Ah, but you have Luca and your brother.¡± (Nina) ¡°Because tonight is Marquis Modesto¡¯s home party. The people around may be all aristocrats, but it¡¯s a light party, so even close friends of the same sex can dance together. Nina, may I?¡± (Noel) ¡°Of course, it¡¯s okay. I am so excited to dance with you!¡± (Nina) Well, I wouldn¡¯t mind Noel dancing with Nina. But it would be unacceptable for those bastards to touch my sister; should I scare them by sending my killing intent at them? ¡°Zagan, you can¡¯t do that, okay?¡± I did not know if he read it from my facial expression or if my thoughts were transmitted through our mana, but Luca chided me. I stared fixedly up at him, only to be kissed on the cheek with a wry smile. Of course, I had no intention of ruining the party by actually doing such a thing. But still, as a brother, I was worried. CH 58.1 After a short ride in the carriage, the castle finally came into view. Poking my head out the window, I then look up at the illuminated castle. ¡°It¡¯s a gorgeous building. Moreover, seeing it up close, it¡¯s quite massive.¡± (Zagan) ¡°Yeah, as expected of a castle built in the capital of art. It¡¯s a refined sort of beauty.¡± (Luca) ¡°If this is the magnitude for the big city¡¯s castle, then how big is the royal castle supposed to be?¡± (Zagan) ¡°Mnn¡­. Just the height itself, it should be around three times more? And the area around the castle grounds is vast enough that even I could get lost.¡± (Luca) ¡°Is that so? I¡¯m looking forward to seeing it up close.¡± (Zagan) The tallest and grandest structure in the Soleil Kingdom. The royal castle that looms in the center of the royal capital. When my father held me in his arms and brought me outside, the royal castle seen from the mansion glimmered faintly even at night. Or maybe that was just the effect from the magic tools. It has been 15 years that I¡¯ve been away from the royal capital. The reason I didn¡¯t return was because it would trouble my family and those working in the mansion. However, my original self despised our parents and never returned to the royal capital. Unlike as a child, the grown up version of my original self was a strong person who could have easily invaded the royal capital. Then why did my original self not try to take revenge? Especially when hating my own father. Yet at the same time my original self respected him and yearned for the strength my father had in banishing the Evil God. The mother, who didn¡¯t even recognize me, had long since been gravely ill and cursed me for not being able to recover. And after my original self became aware of the existence of my little sister raised in normalcy, the hatred worsened to the point of trying to torment her to death. There was so much hatred there since my original self did not have an ideal upbringing, but despite that, there was still respect and admiration for my father at the core of my original self. That is why I have enough thought to speak with respect to him. We arrived in front of the party venue within the castle grounds. Once the door was opened by the coachman, Luca immediately got down and reached out to me. Taking his hand, I also got down from the carriage. Smoothly and like it was the obvious thing to do, my waist was hugged, but since it¡¯s a dance party I guess I¡¯ll just accept it. A part of me believed that just holding hands should have been enough. Once everyone gathered together, we went through the open double doors and into the building. The entrance had a calming and warm atmosphere despite being spacious. With this, even ladies wearing dresses can be cosy. It¡¯s almost the end of November and so the season grows colder. ¡°Welcome dear guests. If you have any baggage, you may deposit them at the counter over there.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ I, can I entrust you with this bag, please? It has everyone¡¯s clothing in it.¡± Bennett reacted to the guide¡¯s words. Because the Magic bag¡¯s design was chosen to match the so-called ¡°lolita dress¡± that she was wearing, it didn¡¯t feel out of place. But it would be a disturbance while dancing. ¡°Nobody brought any valuables, right? If not, let¡¯s entrust it to them.¡± (Miranda) ¡°Understood. Then I¡¯ll head over there first.¡± (Bennett) Bennett jogged over to the counter. We moved aside a little to avoid disrupting the other attendees, but she came back quite quickly. As if he was waiting for that, Marquess Modeste came out of the hall with his cane. He may have sensed our arrival. ¡°Ho ho ho. I bid you welcome Your Highness Luca. As well as Zagan-dono and the ladies.¡± ¡°It has been a while, Marquess Modeste. For hosting this party for us today, we¡¯re really grateful.¡± (Luca) ¡°I sincerely thank you for the invitation, Marquess Modeste. For the dresses, as well.¡± (Noel) Once Luca and Noel expressed their appreciation, the others followed suit with comments like ¡°Thanks¡± or ¡°Appreciate it¡±. It seemed only Bennett properly used polite speech, but Marquess Modeste still nodded happily. ¡°After all, it is a man¡¯s duty to provide for lovely women. My, how wonderful indeed. If I were more able-bodied, I would be remiss if I didn¡¯t invite you for a dance. What a pity that I¡¯m now old.¡± ¡°Ufufu, what a flatterer you are. As expected of the lord who governs the City of Art.¡± (Cindy) ¡°Ho ho ho, to praise a lady similarly lies under the duties of a man. Now then, it would be boorish of me to continue delaying such beautiful flowers here. I¡¯ve prepared various kinds of delicacies and there are also rest spots scattered around, so please relax and enjoy yourselves.¡± ¡°Thank you again, Marquess. Now then everyone, shall we go?¡± (Luca) While bowing and waving to a Marquess Modeste who smilingly saw us off, we finally entered the hall. The hall was large and dazzling with walls and pillars covered in splendid decorations. When looking up to the second floor, there was an atrium with windows and curtains to add to the overall luxury of the room. Could the balcony be accessed from the windows? The gigantic chandelier hanging from the ceiling beautifully glittered and shone, almost blindingly so. More importantly, a lot of lights were floating around. Were these due to Light magic? When I looked back down, a wide path extended from the doors, with musicians playing their instruments situated in the back. In the wide space right in front of them were some guests who had already started dancing. Lining both sides of the path were a number of tables and sofas, with luxurious looking dishes placed along the walls. Not many people were eating because it was still before 6pm, but there were people chatting while drinking tea. I see, this is indeed a house party. The ambience feels relaxed. However the scale itself is huge. There must be at least 300 people or so attending? ¡°I don¡¯t know what a formal party is like, but do they do something like announce everyone¡¯s names or have a greeting speech by the host?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think everyone will be called out, since the scale of attendance is about 1000 people. Usually it¡¯s just an introduction of key figures. If it¡¯s a birthday party then it¡¯s just the celebrated person, for victory parties of competitions or games it¡¯s either the winning team or an individual. Meanwhile for a ball it¡¯s just the host¡¯s greeting speech. But if royalty is attending, there¡¯s a higher chance everyone who is present will be made aware of their attendance.¡± Ahh, I see. There are various types of official parties. And since it¡¯s a house party today, Luca¡¯s name wouldn¡¯t be called out. Still, we¡¯re gathering quite some stares. Not to mention it increases the closer we get to the dance floor. Either their aim is the Prince ¨C Luca, or to observe me who has black hair. I do feel some malice. But rather than hatred, this is¡­ jealousy? I¡¯m not so sure, but¡­ anyway the stares of the young women sting. It would have been better if they only looked at Luca. Tonight, Luca is considerably more handsome than normal so it¡¯s a feast for the eyes, you know? Standing by the side of the dance floor, we waited for the music to stop. I heard Noel and Nina planning to dance together first, but it seemed my other friends would start dancing with their practice partners first too. So hand-in-hand, Miranda and Cindy as well as Camilla and Bennett stood by as well. I was looking at the four people standing in front of me when Camilla, who felt my gaze immediately glanced back and grinned broadly. ¡°If we dance at the same time with you two, then seeing people of the same gender together won¡¯t be so surprising, no? And even if I, who am quite a bit shorter than Bennett danced the male part, no one will realise.¡± (Camilla) ¡°U-uhm! I just thought that it would be nice if¡­ I can dance beside Luca-san and Zagan-san, together with everyone¡­¡± (Bennett) ¡°It¡¯s the long awaited big moment after all, of course our first practice partners are the best choice.¡± (Miranda) ¡°Ufufu, for this Onee-san to be able to take Miranda-chan¡¯s first time, I¡¯m extremely happy. I¡¯ll gently lead you, okay?¡± (Cindy) ¡°¡­Can¡¯t you do something about your indecent phrasing?¡± (Miranda) Hearing Miranda¡¯s worn-out reply, both Noel and Nina tried hard to suppress their giggles. I could feel the exuberance and tension coming from the girls. It seemed everyone was filled with excitement and anticipation. While I was looking at the girls, suddenly Luca placed a kiss on the top of my head. Moving my line of sight, I saw Luca flashing a radiant smile at me. ¡°I will also gently lead you, all right? Zagan¡¯s first time, may I have it? ¡°¡­I¡¯ve already given it to you, haven¡¯t I?¡± My first time, didn¡¯t Luca himself take it from me? Even if it was for the sake of replenishing my mana, I was surprised he¡¯d choose to nurse me by having sex despite me being a guy. When I stared at him with that thought in mind, Luca started to grow flustered. Not to mention his face was red. Why was he shy? When I tilted my head up, Luca¡¯s face slowly¡­. his lips slowly approached. So I closed my eyes, but then suddenly my arms were pulled back. It was Noel who was standing beside me. ¡°Luca? Not only did you make Zagan-dono say something embarrassing aloud, what do you plan on doing next? Even someone mild-mannered like me will get angry, you know?¡± Noel directed a smile at Luca over my head, but her eyes weren¡¯t smiling. So even Noel could get angry like this. And then Luca¡¯s eyebrows inched together in embarrassment. ¡°You are right, that is not something to do where we¡¯re getting so much attention. I¡¯m sorry, Noel. You too, Zagan.¡± Although I was aware that I got carried away too and I should probably have apologised as well, I just nodded my head obediently. I felt like if I did otherwise, I would be adding more fuel to the fire and that would anger Noel. When I did that, I was kissed right on the forehead after being given a soft smile. Since there weren¡¯t any complaints on this action, the head and forehead were acceptable it seemed. I myself had kissed Noel on the head and forehead before, but there were also some bastards who kissed the back of a lady¡¯s hand as a sort of greeting when they met for the first time, so maybe acting like that was forgiven for lovers. After a while the music stopped. Then Luca let go of my waist and took my hand instead. ¡°Now then Zagan, shall we dance?¡± On his urging, we moved onto the dance floor together. When we did so, all the people who were dancing went off the dance floor one after another and before we knew it, we were the only ones left. ¡­¡­This situation is unexpected. We will surely stand out from the crowd if we¡¯re the only ones in this huge open space. Yet when I thought about it, occupying the floor despite knowing the Prince was present and ignoring his presence was also hard to do. Even if it¡¯s a house party. I was thankful for my friends who willingly wanted to dance alongside Luca and I. No¡­ rather they must have foreseen this happening. Bennett seemed to be nervous, but with Camilla as her partner, she should be fine. Identical to our practice sessions, my right hand was taken and his other hand supported my back. Once I put my left hand on Luca¡¯s arm, the music restarted. A beautiful waltz melody. Matching my breathing with Luca¡¯s, I took one step backwards. CH 58.2 After we finished dancing to one song, I bowed along with Luca towards the audience and we were greeted with loud applause. I also heard cheers. I couldn¡¯t tell if I was any good, but anyway I was glad I made it to the end without stepping on Luca¡¯s foot. As I let out a sigh of relief, our friends came up to us with proud expressions on their faces and patted me on the back. ¡°As expected of Nii-sama!¡± ¡°Thank you, Noel.¡± As she¡¯d murmured it quietly amidst the applause, not expecting me to hear, Noel smiled happily when I thanked her. Together, all of us walked off the dance floor. Luca and I sat on the sofas that were lined up against the wall, receiving drinks from a nearby waiter. Can¡¯t we take a break now? When I looked at Luca with that thought in mind, he just gave me a wry smile. ¡°Noel and the others left to change partners. We don¡¯t need to do that, don¡¯t we?¡± ¡°Hmph¡­ Noel should¡¯ve just continued dancing with Nina the whole time.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t dance more than twice with someone who isn¡¯t your fianc¨¦e, lover or spouse. Besides, Noel is a noble. She¡¯s danced with a lot of men, so she knows how to handle them, rest assured.¡± I couldn¡¯t argue if he said that much. Unlike Luca, I didn¡¯t know a lot about Noel. On the other hand, I also know very little about Luca. Even though Noel knows. I understand that it can¡¯t be helped, but even so I still feel jealous of them being childhood friends. Maybe because I was sullen, Luca pulled me closer and gave me a kiss on the forehead. And then rubbed his cheek against my head. ¡°I love you, Zagan. There¡¯s nothing I can do about the past, but from now on I¡¯ll always be Zagan¡¯s.¡± Was it because my emotions had been transferred to him through my mana? Or was it because, recently, Luca had gotten better at guessing my emotions through my facial expressions? No matter which, the kindness and warmth I felt when I was with him filled my heart and made me want to cry. The overwhelming feeling of being loved surrounded me. During the second song, about 10 couples went onto the dance floor, so there were fewer eyes on me than during the first song. However, they were all elderly for some reason. Then we danced the third and fourth song. I felt the happiness transmitted from Luca, which made me happy too. As expected, I was exhausted after the fifth song, so we left the dance floor. We took that opportunity to move to the dining area. Even though a lot of people were looking at us, none of them called out. Incidentally, to the young women who had been directing bloodlust at me, I hurled it back at them. No questions asked. Even if they let out a shriek or almost fell over, it had nothing to do with me. In this world, everyone has mana, which means they can protect themselves through body strengthening, intimidation or magic walls. Therefore if women aren¡¯t frail, there¡¯s no reason to go easy on them. However, Luca gave me a wry smile. ¡°Can you hold back a bit more? Of course, the moment they directed their bloodlust at Zagan, I also got angry enough that I wanted to kill them, but¡­¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have done anything if it was just intimidation, but they used their bloodlust, meaning that they¡¯re ok with the person who receives it dying. No worries, if it¡¯s bloodlust, they won¡¯t realise who directed it.¡± ¡°Fufu, Zagan is merciless. If someone like Zagan directs bloodlust, they won¡¯t get away with it lightly.¡± ¡°¡­I have not done anything to the men calling out to Noel.¡± I was properly restraining myself. Anyway, I didn¡¯t use so much bloodlust that those women would collapse. I just used enough so that they wouldn¡¯t think to threaten me again. I placed some of the food that was arranged against the wall on my plate and sat down on a vacant sofa nearby. The waiter immediately brought drinks to the table. Things like champagne and water. My throat was parched so I was thankful. Umu, delicious. The food is also delicious. I enjoyed the dishes for a while, but still no one called out to me. Either it was because I had black hair, or because I wasn¡¯t nobility, but an adventurer. Or maybe it was because I had constantly been gobbling up food. I put a lot of food on two plates, but it was gone in no time. Meanwhile Luca¡­ ¡°Here, say aah.¡± I reflexively opened my mouth at his urging. What was placed in my mouth was diced steak. Incredibly delicious. But one piece wasn¡¯t enough. When I stared, another piece was brought to my mouth so I ate it with a chomp. Mn, delicious as expected. The meat was tender and the sauce was my favourite spicy kind of seasoning. ¡°Haaa, my Zagan is too cute. Ah, you there. Can you go and bring two plates of food? More of the meat dishes, please.¡± ¡°Certainly.¡± Luca called out to the man in the tailcoat who had been nearby the whole time. Did they prepare someone to take care of us? As expected of the Prince, he¡¯s treated well. Thanks to him, I didn¡¯t need to be separated from Luca so I was grateful. We promised not to be apart, but it felt strange to leave the table together and go get food. After we had eaten a lot and the waiter cleared all the plates, the butler asked us if we¡¯d like any tea or dessert. When I looked at Luca, he just smiled so it seemed I could decide. Let¡¯s see. ¡°I¡¯m not fond of sweets, so just tea is fine. Also, is the 2nd floor a balcony?¡± ¡°Yes, there is a balcony on the 2nd floor. We can prepare a table and a sofa for you right away.¡± ¡°Will Luca and I be the only ones there? If so then I¡¯d like to take our tea there. ¡°I will be on standby by the window, but would that still be alright?¡± ¡°Yes, please do so.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± The butler lowered his head and ordered a nearby waiter to prepare our tea. Great, now I can be somewhere without getting any bothersome looks. If they aren¡¯t going to talk to me, they could at least spare me the constant glances. As I stood up from the sofa, I took both of Luca¡¯s hands. For some reason, Luca was smiling very happily. ¡°I can¡¯t believe that just having Zagan by my side made it so no one dared talk to me. Moreover after eating, you immediately brought me to a place where we could be alone. Thank you Zagan, a party this carefree and fun is a first for me.¡± While I was drinking freshly brewed tea and looking at the night sky twinkling with November¡¯s stars, Luca laughed and placed his cheek against my head. The balconies were individual to each window, so it really was just the two of us. Plus they lent us two blankets to shield us from the cold November night. To prevent air from entering, we stuck close to each other under the blanket. Not only were the stars beautiful, but there were also a number of floating lights made by Luca¡¯s magic, making it a fantastic space. ¡°To think that no one approached because they were overwhelmed by Zagan¡¯s strength. It¡¯s really amazing.¡± ¡°¡­Was that the reason they didn¡¯t strike up a conversation?¡± ¡°Marquess Modeste said it before, didn¡¯t he? He wondered how many magic knights were needed to win against Zagan. Just by having someone as strong as Zagan by my side, no other protection is needed. Moreover, you¡¯re my fianc¨¦ and I make sure to show off enough that anyone could see we are in love with each other. That¡¯s why no one was able to get in between us.¡± Was that so? There was meaning to all the times he kissed my head and forehead. I looked up at the night sky as I nodded. There were lots of stars twinkling brightly. But in the clear night sky, the moon was invisible. Because the goddess Lune was hiding it. To turn her eyes away from her own heart. ¡°If we save the goddess, I suppose we will be able to see the moon from the Kingdom of Soleil too.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, I¡¯d like to see it in person too. Until Zagan mentioned it, I didn¡¯t even question the fact that the moon wasn¡¯t floating in the sky. Because I thought that was just the way it was.¡± ¡°Come to think of it, Luca knew about the moon since the beginning. Even though Camilla and Cindy didn¡¯t know about it. Where did you learn about it?¡± ¡°Huh? Ah¡­Um.¡± When I suddenly questioned him in wonder, Luca was clearly shaken. I wonder what¡¯s wrong? When I tilted my head to look at Luca, he turned his gaze away from me. As I continued to stare at him without understanding the situation, he let out a small sigh before turning back to me. ¡°If I told you I saw it countless times in my dreams, would you believe me?¡± ¡°Like a prophetic dream? Or maybe because Luca is a descendant of the god Soleil, and because God Soleil loves the moon goddess Lune, you were influenced and saw it in your dreams.¡± ¡°¡­Yeah. Thank you for believing in me, Zagan. Thank you for meeting me and guiding me this far. Now and forever, I will continue to love only you.¡± I didn¡¯t know why, but I felt like I was told something profound. But because Luca gave me an incredibly beautiful smile with a hint of sadness, I just nodded. CH 59.1 On the 30th we made preparations to leave while having a lively conversation about the party from the night before. First, we all headed to the armour shop to pick up the dragon equipment we had ordered. A breastplate, arm and shin guards, as well as boots. When I tried mine on, they all had a cool design and were the perfect size. As expected of first-class craftsmen. Not only did I sense more mana circulating within me, I could also perceive that I was stronger than before. Luca¡¯s long coat was cool too. When I told him it looked good on him, he hugged me very happily. My friends also equipped their breastplates and accessories and were delighted by their new enhanced armor. After that we went our separate ways to buy various things we would need. Camilla went to search for alchemy materials, Cindy went to the bookstore. Noel and the others went to find ingredients for food as well as things like seasoning and sake. Luca and I went to the general store and bought the photo frames we promised each other. Also a pocket album. This way I wouldn¡¯t accidentally bend the photo when I take it out to look at it. ¡°By the way, which photo will you put in the frame? Of course it¡¯s the one of me kissing Zagan¡¯s cheek right?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already decided which one I¡¯ll put in. If you want to put that one in yours, feel free to do so.¡± In that photo of him kissing me you can¡¯t really see Luca¡¯s face, can you? So that¡¯s a no from me. However, since I bought three photo frames, I ended up putting the kissing photo in one frame and the photo of the two of us with Noel in another. The 1st of December. We were guided to the outer gate by some envoys and bid farewell to Marquess Modeste who had been waiting for us. ¡°We were really in your care this time. The mansion was comfortable to live in and the party was also really fun. Thank you, Marquess Modeste.¡± (Luca) ¡°Hohoho, do please come again. Of course, Zagan-dono and the young ladies as well.¡± ¡°Yeah, I want to come again next year to drink wine.¡± (Miranda) ¡°I think it would be nice if we made all sorts of things and set up our own stalls!¡± (Nina) ¡°Next time I would like to leisurely view a play or concert.¡± (Cindy) ¡°Thank you very much Marquess Modeste. We will certainly visit again.¡± (Noel) ¡°¡­I¡¯ve been in your care. I¡¯ll come again.¡± (Zagan) Taking our two horses back and hitching them to the carriage, we were ready to depart. Just like before, Nina and Bennett sat in the coachmen¡¯s seat while the rest of us sat inside the carriage. I felt relieved because this time Luca didn¡¯t lift me up into the carriage or offer me a hand. Luca boarded last, while Marquess Modeste and the knights saw us off on our journey to the next city. The trip passed uneventfully until December 5th. The sun was starting to set earlier and earlier and by four in the afternoon, it had already gotten dark. However, we could see the lights of the 12th city in the distance and pressed on ahead. It would have been dangerous if it were just the carriage, but I was leading the way on my bike while illuminating in front and Luca who was clinging to my back also used light magic to brighten our surroundings. Any monsters that appeared were also defeated by us, so the carriage only needed to follow along. The 12th city, the last big city featured in ¡®Lumi¨¨re¡¯. In the game, the five days from the 6th to the 10th only had individual events and only followed the story of the girl who was the capture target. Moreover, there will be a story event featuring the Sun Festival on the 25th after conquering the dungeon. It is the day that the first King of Soleil and the four Grand Dukes swore an oath in the name of God Soleil, forming the Soleil Kingdom. In other words, the Sun Festival celebrates the National Foundation Day. And the day after that event, they would then set out to destroy the Lumi¨¨re in the Royal Capital. Anyway, the 25th is also Noel¡¯s birthday so I need to prepare a present. I also need to find one for Luca since his birthday is on January 1st but if things go according to the game scenario, then the 31st of December will be the day of the battle with the Evil God, meaning I only have the five days from tomorrow onwards to prepare Luca¡¯s present. I wonder what birthday present I should get each of them. ¡°Hm? What¡¯s wrong, Zagan?¡± Luca peered at my face from behind. I wonder how he knew I was troubled. I had been riding my bike since morning, so Luca¡¯s mana should have disappeared from my core long ago. I do not think my emotions were being relayed through mana¡­ Did he guess from the fluctuation of my mana or the atmosphere around me? Lately it felt like Luca¡¯s perception ability had been improving to the point that I could not hide anything anymore. But if it were something that I really couldn¡¯t talk about, I could just say it was a secret so I wasn¡¯t worried. ¡°I was thinking about what I could do for Noel¡¯s birthday present. I won¡¯t make it in time if it¡¯s after conquering the dungeon, so I have to purchase it before the dive, don¡¯t I?¡± Of course, I chose to keep quiet on Luca¡¯s present. I could ask him what he wants¡­ but it was a surprise when Luca gave me a present, so I also wanted to do at least that much for him. However, Luca is very perceptive when it comes to me, so he may have already figured it out. ¡°I see. You only have five days to prepare. Hmm, I wonder what would be good?¡± The protagonist in the game gave Noel a beautiful embroidered scarf for her birthday. It was an accessory that raised magic defense, but the Noel in reality had made a scarf from the cloth I gave her before and already had it wrapped around her neck. That is why I needed to find something different. I was worried about what to get her, but in the end it was decided that Luca and I would go around the stores and choose something for her together. 30 minutes later, we arrived at the 12th city, but I stopped my bike in front of the outer gate. It was because a familiar figure stood there. Even out in the cold, that man still wore his usual tailcoat and outwardly he still seemed to be about 50 years old. But his real age was over a thousand years old so he was probably pretending to look old via mimicry. He smiled once he recognised that it was me who was on the bike. ¡°Long time no see, Ciel-bocchama. To behold how splendidly you have grown, this Orobas is extremely delighted.¡± ¡°Yeah, it has been a really long time. But I would like you to stop calling me Ciel because Ciel died fifteen years ago.¡± ¡°Nowadays you are referred to as ¡®Zagan¡¯, yes? ¡­Zagan, huh.¡± The one who told me about the existence of a demon called ¡®Zagan¡¯ was Orobas. And Orobas was also a demon. In other words, Orobas might have been acquainted with or was even a friend of the demon Zagan. ¡°Is it perhaps difficult to call me that?¡± ¡°No, there is no such thing. It¡¯s just that remembering that idiot makes me want to beat him to a pulp. Ah, right, he is already dead.¡± ¡­Orobas was basically indifferent to anyone other than father. He took care of Noel and I, who are father¡¯s children, because he was ordered to do so. To make him spew such venomous words, just what kind of personality had the demon Zagan had? ¡°Orobas! I missed you, Orobas!¡± Noel got out of the carriage and rushed towards Orobas. Orobas gave Noel a slight bow. ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Noel-ojousama. It snowed at one point, but were you all right?¡± ¡°I was all right. Nii-sama was there, and we even put up the tent a bit earlier that day.¡± Since Noel started talking to Orobas, I tapped Luca on the arm, signaling him with a look, so he got down from the back of the bike.I also climbed off and put my bike away. My friends also came out of the carriage and put it away. Noel was introducing Nina to Orobas. She was telling him she made a good friend. It was heartwarming, but this was not the best place for chatting so I urged everyone to head towards the outer gate. After passing through the splendid outer gate, we were asked to wait by the guards, just like last time. They guided us to the watchtower right next to the gate. The guards served us some tea as they made a call on the communication device. Perhaps because the sun had already set or because it was cold outside, it seemed that the lord of the city would be the only one to come and greet us. They said the lord would arrive any minute so I stepped outside to check and indeed I could feel a substantial amount of mana heading towards us. A woman clad in wind magic could be seen from afar. I appreciated the fact that she was making haste, but is it fine for a Lord to leap from roof to roof? The Duchess descended to the ground with a thud. Heels click-clacking, she walked towards us. CH 59.2 The 12th city was under the jurisdiction of one of the four Grand Dukes (who was a lady): Luca¡¯s sister-in-law¡¯s ¡ª the Crown Princess¡¯ ¡ª mother, from what I remembered. She was a strong individual. The city lords I had actually seen were the four from the 9th city on, but¡­ perhaps ¡°being strong¡± one of the conditions to be the lord of a large city? As she stopped right in front of us, she brushed the loose strands of her hair away and smiled. ¡°It has been a while, Your Highness Luca. Hopefully you have been well?¡± ¡°It has definitely been a while, Duchess Charmant. Of course, I am doing very well.¡± ¡°Oh my, is that so? The whispers that you¡¯ve changed after falling in love were true. That person is your rumoured partner, I assume?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Zagan.¡± The Duchess could see that Luca was hugging my waist. When I presented my name, she held out her hand with a jubilant smile. I was surprised she would ask for a handshake from someone with the dark attribute but I also had no reason to refuse, so I took her hand. ¡°I have heard rumours of you for some time now. I am happy to know you have been to this city a few times before. That aside, Zagan-dono is really strong. With this much strength, you could have easily ended the lives of so many¡­ instead, you have endured well against the discrimination and even contributed to the kingdom as an adventurer. I give my thanks as someone of the Ducal houses. Thank you.¡± Since I¡¯d lived hidden in the Great Forest, I never had to endure blatant discrimination to my face, but it was true that I had not committed any murder, so I obediently nodded my head. When I did that, she smiled with a huff. Although she was a woman of strong character, her eyes were very gentle. When I was thinking that way, Luca pulled my waist closer and hugged me tightly. ¡°Duchess Charmant, how long do you plan on holding onto him? Zagan is mine, so I wish you would let go.¡± ¡°Oops, sorry about that. I was merely impressed at how beautiful Zagan-dono is. Your Majesty has found a wonderful partner.¡± My hand was released, though I got mixed feelings at being told I was ¡®beautiful¡¯ by a beautiful lady, though it could also be a compliment towards my strength rather than my outer appearance. Which is why, Luca, don¡¯t hug me like you¡¯re restraining me. You¡¯re being laughed at. ¡°Zagan-dono is indeed beautiful! I can understand!¡± Hearing Noel¡¯s words felt like the final blow from behind, and I unconsciously got a faraway look. Whether he realised the state I was in or not, Luca kissed my black hair and proceeded to rub his cheek against mine. His claim of ownership was too intense. We were being laughed at. ¡°Haha-ahahaha! Oh my, to have changed His Highness this much, Zagan-dono is incredible!¡± ¡°¡­I have no idea about the former Luca, but I¡¯ll accept the compliment.¡± ¡°Please do so. ¡­Ku¨CHaha, I apologise for laughing this much. Anyway, let me show you to the mansion.¡± We entrusted our horses to the guards who offered to bring them to the stables. Then we headed towards the mansion together with the Duchess. The girls were enthusiastically chatting while following along to the mansion, unlike in the previous cities. It was probably because we weren¡¯t surrounded by knights. Also, there was no need to be wary of my surroundings even with my black hair exposed because there weren¡¯t that many people around since it was dark out. The Duchess also seemed to be in a really good mood and even told us the reason. ¡°I can say this now exactly because Your Highness has chosen Zagan-dono, but I am very grateful that His Highness¡¯ partner is a civilian and a man. Despite knowing that His Highness has no interest in the throne, I could not be rid of the possibility that individuals with silly ideas would gather and make a puppet of Your Highness. Something like assassinating the Crown Prince and his wife after marrying off their own daughter to His Highness Luca.¡± I see. Luca has the Light attribute even though he is the second child. On top of that, he was the descendant of God Soleil who possesses enormous mana. There were definitely people who would say that Luca was more suitable to be the King. If that were to happen, Duchess Charmant¡¯s daughter, who was the Crown Princess, would be in a precarious position. ¡°However, those worries are now gone. As there can be no children born with Zagan-dono, His Highness no longer has value to them even as a puppet. Which is why I hope for the two of you to marry just like this. I apologise if the reason seems way too political.¡± ¡°No, rather I am pleased. With the backing of the Dukes, we can silence the troublesome ones.¡± (Luca) There were various schemes brewing within aristocratic society. I knew that from the start, but hearing what she said convinced me of one thing. That one thing was regarding the document that Duke Magnifique published in the national newspaper. It was written in it that I was Luca¡¯s fianc¨¦, but Luca himself didn¡¯t know that. Normally, I wouldn¡¯t be portrayed as his fianc¨¦ if the matter weren¡¯t confirmed with Luca beforehand. Even if the Duke was present to overhear Luca say I was his beloved or found out Luca kept having sex with me in the tent, the safest approach would have been to say we were friends or comrades. Thus, the reason I was written about as the fianc¨¦ was actually to keep all the nobles in check. The one Luca chose was a commoner man with no relation to the aristocratic society, and who could not give birth to any children. That was why Luca had no intentions of succeeding the throne, and that no one should approach Luca because his fianc¨¦ was an individual who could even subdue a dragon. Hence, why the Duke went out of his way to raise the issue of discrimination against the dark attribute and backed me all the way. Because doing that would ultimately protect Luca, as well as the Crown Prince and Princess. The four great dukes who protect the Royal family. The absolute loyalty they hold towards the Royal family despite their pact being ancient is admirable. ¡°By the way, Zagan-dono. Will you continue to live as a commoner even after marrying His Highness Luca? Or will you return to the nobility?¡± I put aside the fact that the conversation was moving forward on the premise of our confirmed marriage. ¡°¡­Why do you ask that?¡± ¡°Because I know of a woman who looks just like you. She was my junior during my Royal Academy days, and I was told various stories about her because a good friend of mine fell in love with her. He said he couldn¡¯t give her up even if their social status was different. That guy ended up becoming a hero after fighting the Evil God, then got married to that beautiful woman. I was still living in the Royal Capital at that time so I got invited to their wedding. I wonder how many times have I heard him boast that their son who was born resembled his wife? ¡­I also heard that said son passed away.¡± After Duchess Charmant looked at me, she glanced behind me. She was looking at Noel and Orobas. The ¡®good friend who became a hero¡¯ was most definitely my father. Which would suggest that the Duchess should know Orobas, who had been by my father¡¯s side since early childhood, although Orobas did not betray any sign of it. She also knew that Noel and I were siblings. The supposedly deceased son her friend told her about had appeared, very much alive. Not to mention, with black hair. ¡°With this much strength, you could have easily ended the lives of so many¡­ instead you have endured well against the discrimination and even contributed to the kingdom as an adventurer.¡± I wondered how much thought was put into those words? How much intention was behind the ¡°How beautiful¡± compliment? Naturally, as someone who didn¡¯t know how close the Duchess, my father and mother were with each other, I wouldn¡¯t know. What¡¯s more, I didn¡¯t realise until that moment that being similar to my mother would have adverse effects. As long as I lived with Luca in the Royal Capital, I was prepared to make enemies of my surroundings merely because of my dark attribute. But it seemed there could be even more trouble ahead. ¡­Nevertheless. ¡°I am Zagan. I always have been and always will be. I have no interest in royalty and titled nobility. Rather, when Luca is deeply hurt because of you people, I¡¯ll kidnap him, no questions asked.¡± ¡°My, my. No, I shouldn¡¯t be grinning about it. It would be a big problem if His Highness were kidnapped so we will make the utmost effort to protect him. ¡± ¡°My Zagan is too cool. I can¡¯t contain it. I love you, I absolutely love you.¡± We ended up getting laughed at by the Duchess again because Luca kept rubbing his cheek against mine. However, since it had been a while since I was told I was ¡®cool¡¯, I was very satisfied. CH 60.1 We received the key to the mansion and the Duchess left after giving us some encouragement on conquering the dungeon. It¡¯s fine to jump from rooftop to rooftop, but won¡¯t she get mistaken as a bandit by the knights and mages who excel in detection? Anyway, we went inside the mansion. First things first, we put our luggage away in our rooms and changed our clothes, then started doing all the washing up that needed to be done after our trip. Dirty clothes were placed into the magic washing machine while those clothes that had to be washed by hand we took care of ourselves. After doing maintenance on all the weapons and armour, the laundry was finished so I dried the clothing in our room. Lastly I brought the futon I had used to the living room, hanging itover a ledge to let it dry by tomorrow morning. With this the washing up was over. In the kitchen, Orobas was prepping the food instead of Bennett, and when I sat down on the sofa, he made me a cup of tea. I took a sip and exhaled a sigh of relief. ¡°It tastes like something I used to drink a long time ago. You even went out of your way to bring tea leaves, huh?¡± (Zagan) ¡°I see, Zagan grew up drinking this tea. Indeed, it is delectable.¡± (Luca) ¡°I am glad you like it. Please wait a bit more until everyone has arrived. (Orobas) Having said all that, he went back into the kitchen. He seemed to be preparing the food since I could hear the constant chopping sound of the kitchen knife. Were butlers people who cooked as well? Well, who cares? ¡°You can¡¯t really tell he¡¯s a demon, huh? Still, he has a tremendous amount of mana. As expected of an SS-ranked demon.¡± ¡°Yeah. I didn¡¯t notice when I was young, but now I can tell that he¡¯s strong. Do you think you can win?¡± ¡°¡­ There are some battles that I have to win.¡± I couldn¡¯t deny that, but wouldn¡¯t it be fine for Luca to lose in this case? It¡¯s not like he was told that they wouldn¡¯t approve of the marriage if he lost. On the other hand, if I didn¡¯t win, they might not tell me how to save the Goddess. As we were relaxing in the living room and I accepted Luca¡¯s kisses on my head and cheeks, the girls arrived. After Orobas served them some tea as well, he looked over at us and slightly bowed his head. ¡°Once again, I¡¯m Orobas. Currently I serve as butler to Lyle-sama, Count Brady, but in the past I worked in close association with the Goddess Lune. Everyone, I look forward to working with you.¡± Everyone gave their own greeting in return. Amongst the greetings, Noel swiftly raised her hand. ¡°I have a question. How old are you Orobas?¡± ¡°It is hard to accurately say, but considering the day the country was founded¡­ about 7 thousand years old, I would guess.¡± That is short compared to the gods who have lived for hundreds of millions of years, but it is still a daunting length of time. But it¡¯s possible I feel that way because I¡¯m a human with a certain life expectancy. Magic beings are creatures born of purifying essence and demonic essence. They are structurally different from humans and have different thought processes. Therefore, from the beginning they have the recognition that it is normal for them to live for a long time. That is why they can continue to exist for hundreds of millions of years. Next to raise their hand was Cindy. ¡°I am Cindy. Thank you for lending me so many wonderful books. By the way, I¡¯m almost finished reading all the books I borrowed, can I borrow some more?¡± ¡°You are almost finished reading that large amount of books already? What an avid reader. I still have plenty more, so I will lend them to you.¡± ¡°Ufufu, thank you so much. I am looking forward to it.¡± Cindy smiled happily. Then Camilla who was sitting next to her also raised her hand. ¡°I have not finished reading mine, so I wonder if it¡¯s okay to borrow them for a while longer?¡± ¡°As long as you return it properly, I do not mind.¡± ¡°I appreciate it. I am Camilla, I look forward to working with you, Orobas-dono. If there are books regarding alchemy, I would be grateful if you could lend them to me.¡± ¡°U-Um, I am Bennett. My speciality is cooking and doing housework in general.. Please treat me well.¡± ¡°Name¡¯s Miranda. I¡¯m drinking buddies with Zagan. Nice to meet you, Orobas-san.¡± When Miranda stuck her hand out, Orobas shook it. Miranda looked happy. Come to think of it, didn¡¯t she prefer the older gentleman type? He fit the archetype, if only in appearance. ¡°I am Luca Soleil. Is it alright if I call you Orobas?¡± ¡°Yes. Although I¡¯m a demon, I have integrated myself into human society, which is why I cannot allow His Highness Luca to call me with an honorific title.¡± Nina had already been introduced by Noel, so now everyone had been introduced. ¡°And when are we going to have our duel? I don¡¯t mind if we have it tomorrow.¡± I immediately brought up the main issue. Because it seems that the only one who can save the goddess who has been engulfed in demonic essence is me, who is her kin. If we can save the goddess and appease God Soleil¡¯s anger, the two gods will appear before us humans again. The whole kingdom will come to know that the goddess is not the Evil God, but a being who has been protecting the Soleil Kingdom for thousands of years. It should get rid of the discrimination against dark attribute users promptly. However, Orobas frowned in confusion. ¡°I am sorry but I have no reason to fight with Cie©¤ Bocchama.¡± ¡°? But it was written in the Crown Prince¡¯s letter that you would ascertain my strength.¡± Was I mistaken? When I tilted my head to look at Luca, he immediately nodded. When I looked back to Orobas, he also nodded. ¡°The Crown Prince¡¯s letter was written while he spoke to me, so I do have avague understanding of what was written there. However, what needs to be ascertained is whether or not you will be overwhelmed by the negative emotions once you enter the demonic essence. In other words, it is an issue of mental strength, not of physical strength.¡± Wh¡­at? Then moving separately from Luca and the others in the dungeon was meaningless? No, another objective of mine had been to remodify the magic barrier, so there was some meaning to it after all. It¡¯s just that I was lonelier than I thought, and I had also been looking forward to fighting Orobas. ¡­I see, so we won¡¯t be fighting. I see¡­ ¡°Zagan, please don¡¯t feel down. Okay? I know that Zagan worked really hard.¡± When I lowered my head in silence, I was hugged and had my head stroked by Luca. Uuhh¡­ even though I stayed up all night subjugating monsters until I got scolded by Luca, it¡¯s sad that everything was for naught. Not only that, I made Luca feel lonely, I was forced to squirt, and the repercussions from the sex we had afterwards was so intense that I was thoroughly exhausted. Well, it did also feel good though. Anyway, wanting to be healed from the shock, I buried my face into Luca¡¯s chest with his arms still wrapped around me. Then I heard Noel¡¯s voice. ¡°Is it really not possible, Orobas? Even just some light sparring?¡± (Noel) ¡°It is obvious that I will lose, and I would like to decline being on the side that gets trained instead. In the first place, Bocchama has become too strong. Maybe that strength is natural as a descendant of the goddess, but what do you intend to fight against by becoming that strong?¡± (Orobas) ¡°God, of course! I understand he is angry that the Goddess was almost killed, but it has already been thousands of years since then and we¡¯ll be in a bind if he doesn¡¯t stop trying to destroy the country!¡± (Nina) ¡°T-That¡¯s right! Even if he is a god, to let the blood get to his head to the point he doesn¡¯t realise that he¡¯s hurting the person he loves is just the worst!¡± (Bennett) ¡°If I think about Sophie and various other things, I won¡¯t be satisfied until I¡¯ve punched Soleil at least once.¡± (Miranda) All the girls here are really hot-blooded. But it¡¯s not like I don¡¯t understand how they feel. Due to the discrimination against the dark attribute, their loved ones were killed and their lives were disrupted. If I hadn¡¯t been discriminated against, I wouldn¡¯t have been imprisoned in the basement of the mansion. If I hadn¡¯t been shunned by my own mother, I would also not have made the young Noel cry. All because Goddess Lune was of the dark attribute. Because she, who tried to protect the country, would occasionally get swallowed up by negative emotions and become the Evil God. ©¤ Because God Soleil still continues to try to destroy the country despite losing to the Goddess. However, those were all just excuses. The greatest cause of the discrimination was the humans themselves, whose self-conceit made them want to feel superior to others. Humans who were positive that they were better than anybody else. Even if the discrimination against the dark attribute was to disappear, a new target for discrimination might just be created. It is the way of humans, to push down those weaker than themselves in order to protect their own weak existences. Even so, I want to end the discrimination against dark attribute users. To save those that have endured until now, to protect the babies being born, to stop people from getting hurt when they try to protect dark attribute users. These desires were born from making contact with the intense hatred of those in the Dark Organisation and also from the sorrow of my comrades. They were things I would have never wished for when I was alone. More than anything, I want to make it so that my precious Luca, who loves me, won¡¯t get hurt because of me. That¡¯s right. In the end it is because I myself am a dark attribute user that I wish to rid the world of the discrimination against them. CH 60.2 While I was being comforted by Luca, Orobas and Bennett cooked dinner. The two of them were happily cooking. Considering Bennett was terrified at the possibility of dragons lurking around the city, she seemed unperturbed with a demon. Or maybe it¡¯s because she hasn¡¯t seen his original form. Well¡­ with his current appearance, he is just a soft-spoken, middle-aged man. As usual, we gathered at the table. Orobas, however, declared that he could not sit at the same table as he was a butler and stood beside the kitchen watching over us. His gaze was very nostalgic. He always stood beside me when I ate in the basement. When I was young, no matter how careful I tried to be, I would spill some of my food and Orobas would wipe it away immediately if some got on my chin, or swiftly clean it up if it fell on the floor. Miranda and Nina seemed uncomfortable with his gaze and their eyes wandered around the room. Luca and Noel were completely composed, as you¡¯d expect from members of royalty and nobility. Bennett didn¡¯t seem too bothered by it either, probably because as a former cook, she understood what it was like to be on the side serving the food. Meanwhile Camilla and Cindy weren¡¯t the type to get easily fazed. Anyway, I tried the food that had been laid out. Mn, delicious. Moreover, this dish. ¡°It tastes somewhat nostalgic.¡± Orobas¡¯ eyes softened after I muttered those words. ¡°It is because I was the one who cooked Bocchama¡¯s food. I was particular about the nutritional balance because I wanted you to stay healthy, even underground.¡± ¡°Was that so? I¡¯m grateful, Orobas.¡± ¡°I was spared from any trouble because Bocchama had no particular food he disliked. Lyle-sama, on the other hand¡­¡± After letting out a long sigh, he remained silent. And when I glanced at Noel who sat beside me, she let out a giggle. ¡°Father hates vegetables. He always tried to leave them out and Orobas would scold him. Even so, he said he could eat more than he used to.¡± I didn¡¯t know that¡­ because I never had a meal with my father before. Once I return to the Royal Capital, would I be able to dine with him at least once? After dinner was over, while we were drinking tea, the conversation shifted to the topic of Lune. According to Orobas, when Goddess Lune appeared as the Evil God, she was apparently over 200 meters tall. Her shape barely retained the form of a beast, but with just a swing of her tail, that was over 50 meters long, she could easily destroy buildings. When she raised her forelegs and roars, she was about the same height as the Royal Castle. It was understandable why people would be frightened. The goddess¡¯ real form was supposedly that of a four meter long feline. Could you say about one size larger than a tiger? In other words, her size was directly related to the huge amount of demonic essence that she absorbs. ¡°Bocchama will have to enter that tremendous volume of demonic essence. If you use the dark attribute magic of sinking into the shadows, it may be possible to invade the demonic essence whether it has been hardened by the goddess¡¯ mana or not. However, demonic essence is a mass of negative emotions. Which is why your heart needs to be strong so it won¡¯t be consumed by the darkness. And then¡­ find her, and save her please. I¡¯m sure that if it¡¯s the voice of her own kin, it will reach her. Please, I implore you.¡± Orobas bowed his head. In his self-introduction earlier, he mentioned that he was the close aide of Goddess Lune. Even the story of the past that was written in the Crown Prince¡¯s letter was something that Orobas told him. For 7,000 years, Orobas had witnessed the affectionately intimate daily lives of God Soleil and Goddess Lune. He had been witness to the days when the humans worshiped her and to how she gradually came to be thought of as an evil existence after the founding of the kingdom. And, a thousand years ago, he had been witness to the humans¡¯ betrayal. I wondered what he felt as he watched the battle between the two gods? What he thought as the goddess who protected the humans who had betrayed her turned into an Evil God? What kind of feelings did he hold towards the humans of today, living carefree, oblivious to the fact that even now their god is trying to destroy them while the goddess protects them? I didn¡¯t ask since I had no intention to pry deeply into the matter. Instead, I nodded firmly. ¡°Of course, I will save her. To the end, I¡¯m doing this for my own sake.¡± In order to eliminate the discrimination against dark attribute users, the fact that the goddess was not an Evil God, and that she had been the one who protected the humans, was crucial. My goal was not a lofty one, meant to merely save the goddess ¡ª I planned on using her. I intended to tell him that, but Orobas smiled softly. ¡°I was doubtful until I could make sure of it with my own two eyes. With the circumstances of having to leave the mansion at the tender age of nine, not to mention joining a society that would be harsh towards you¡­ you have done well to grow up so sincerely. This Orobas is deeply moved. Moreover, you were even able to reunite with Noel-ojousama and gain such wonderful comrades¡­ I believe if it¡¯s Bocchama, you won¡¯t be overwhelmed by the negative emotions.¡± Indeed, it would have been difficult to imagine how I had grown in the 15 years since I had left the mansion. So he wanted to make sure. If it seemed that I wouldn¡¯t be able to hold up against the demonic essence, then another solution was needed. Maybe because they were dubbed ¡°wonderful comrades¡±, Miranda, Nina and Bennett seemed embarrassed. On the other hand there was Noel, Camilla and Cindy who looked at the other three affectionately. In the midst of it, Luca raised his hand. ¡°You¡¯ve heard it before, right? In both Noel¡¯s and my letters, that the Dark Organization had stolen six star fragments and that they plan to resurrect the Evil God? Has my brother taken any measures against that?¡± ¡°Yes. Everything has been reported to the King by the Crown Prince and preparation towards the resurrection of the Evil God are being made in the Royal Capital as we speak. While keeping in mind the dark attribute users¡¯ monster summoning ability, all divisions in the Royal Capital have been allocated their own districts to guard. Stronger magic barriers have been formed around important buildings and evacuation sites have already been secured for each district. Additionally, civilians who can evacuate have started moving to different cities with the cooperation of the Adventurer¡¯s Guild and Transportation Guild. I, too, have come this far while escorting evacuating civilians.¡± I see. So that was why Duchess Charmant was so busy to the point that she was jumping on rooftops. It was because she was taking in evacuees. Father would also be busy as he is the Deputy Commander of the Royal Capital¡¯s magic division. Or rather, I think I was once again leaving out the option of making use of all the resources on hand. Even when the 9th city was about to be destroyed, Luca said he would use his status and authority. A Royal Capital with a population of 100 million people. Protecting a city of that scale was definitely impossible to do alone. But Luca was by my side, and Luca has the Crown Prince and the King, who were his family. From there, it expanded to the nobles, divisions, guards, guilds and finally, civilians. If a million people would then each do whatever they could to protect the country¡­ If the whole country cooperated to take every possible measure, surely the loss of many lives could be prevented. ¡°I believe the details are written in this letter, so please take a look.¡± Orobas approached Luca and handed him a letter he took out of his breast pocket. Luca received the letter and confirmed that it bore the wax seal with the imperial crest. It was the crest of the Royal Family. ¡°Thank you, Orobas. Thank you as well for your hard work in escorting the evacuees.¡± ¡°I am humbled to receive His Highness¡¯ words. However¡­¡± The moment when Orobas¡¯ presence shifted dangerously, my hand reflexively moved to my waist. But my dagger was in my bag and I let out a click of my tongue. However, what Orobas uttered next was¡­ ¡°By order of Lyle-sama, I have come to observe His Highness Luca. I was told to ascertain whether Your Highness has grown to be a man worthy of being Bocchama¡¯s partner. In the last few hours, I have learned that the two of you are genuinely in love with each other. As well as that, his highness is very different from what I have heard through Lyle-sama. However, as someone who has taken care of Bocchama since the day he was born, this Orobas cannot simply accept Your Highness that easily. Will Your Highness accept a duel with me?¡± ¡°¡­Of course, I will accept it.¡± Luca¡¯s smile was filled with antagonism as he hugged my waist. I was relieved it wasn¡¯t a threat. The conversation went on and it was decided that the duel would take place at the Adventurer Guild¡¯s training center tomorrow morning. ¡­No, wait a minute. He refuses to fight me, but is going to fight Luca instead. Isn¡¯t that unfair? CH 61.1 ¡°Are you in a better mood now, Zagan?¡± All that was left to do for the day was to go to sleep. Having gotten out of the bath, Luca reached his hand out to me who was sitting on the bed, but I turned my back to him and smacked the hand away with a tentacle. ¡°Zagan¡­ it¡¯s lonely that I can¡¯t hold you in my arms even though it¡¯s just the two of us here. I¡¯m going to cry.¡± My heart hurt when I heard the misery in his voice. I knew that this was just childish sulking and that smacking his hand away had been a bit too much. Luca wasn¡¯t the one in the wrong here. Orobas told me why he wouldn¡¯t have a duel with me. Rather I should be happy since he praised me, saying I was strong. True strength though, couldn¡¯t simply be measured by the amount of mana one has. You can¡¯t tell how skilled someone is with a sword unless you fight them, as battle tactics and reading your opponents moves were an integral part of sword fighting. No matter which way you think about it, Orobas, who has lived for seven thousand years, should be more skilled at fighting than me. Which was why I wanted him to spar with me. Anyway, if he was just measuring strength by how much mana a person has, then doesn¡¯t Luca have an equally enormous amount of mana? I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s because of moments like these where he never misses the chance to manipulate his mana and reach his tentacles out to me, but he¡¯s gotten undeniably stronger since the first time I met him ¡­ let¡¯s not dwell on whether he was doing it on purpose or not. Also, Orobas was supposed to be the type of guy who basically avoided anything that was too much trouble. If he fought against Luca, Soleil¡¯s descendant, it could turn into a bloody struggle. Still, he himself asked Luca for a duel ¨C something that was undoubtedly done under father¡¯s orders. As expected, I¡¯m jealous of Luca¡­ However, I didn¡¯t want to make Luca feel even sadder, so it was probably about time that I stopped sulking. ¡°Sorry Luca. That¡­ I¡¯d be happy if you hugged me.¡± It was a little embarrassing, but I turned towards the depressed Luca and opened my arms wide. A smile immediately lit up his face as I did and he quickly wrapped his arms around me. The comfort that I felt wrapped up in that gentle warmth made me smile despite myself. ¡°I¡¯m glad. I¡¯m so glad Zagan. I wouldn¡¯t be able to live if you hated me.¡± Though he was using grandiose words, I had the feeling that he truly would not be able to live if I was not there. When I hugged him tightly as an apology, he happily rubbed his cheek against me. After we hugged for a bit, Luca stopped feeling down and repositioned himself. I was currently being hugged from behind by Luca who was leaning against the cushions on the bed. When he stroked my lower abdomen with both hands, I somehow ended up wishing for his semen. He had me completely trained. I had a distant look in my eyes as he kissed me on the ear. He bit down lightly and the sensation made my shoulders tremble. However, as he stimulated me, he asked about my earlier sulking. ¡°Why do you want to fight with Orobas that badly? As a soldier, I can understand wanting to spar with a strong opponent, but that¡¯s probably not why, right?¡± Could it be that he was able to read my feelings as long as he touched my abdomen? I¡¯d been riding on my bike all day long so there shouldn¡¯t have been any of Luca¡¯s mana left. Or has it been completely ingrained inside of me? Putting that aside, having a reason other than wanting to fight a strong opponent¡­ that¡¯s right. ¡°The same as how for Luca, Father is his teacher, Orobas was mine. He didn¡¯t teach me how to fight, but he taught me how to speak and how to write. The basics ¨C Orobas was the one who taught me all of them. And he was the one who looked after my daily needs. He woke me up in the mornings and prepared my daily meals. He watched as my body grew taller and prepared clothes that would fit me.¡± More than that, he¡¯d been taking care of me since I was still a baby in diapers. Orobas probably took better care of me than the maids in the mansion. Normally though, one couldn¡¯t remember anything about when they were a baby, so I refrained from telling Luca that. ¡°I see. So for Zagan he was like a mother.¡± ¡°Orobas is a man. Well, I guess you¡¯re right ¨C he did many motherly things. Though he was simply following Father¡¯s orders.¡± ¡°Fufu. So even in the past, Zagan had a hard time recognizing other people¡¯s affection towards you?¡± He gave me a wry smile and I tilted my head at his question. I can¡¯t deny that I¡¯m insensitive towards love, because when Luca first confessed to me I didn¡¯t know much about it, but¡­ ¡°I am a dark attribute user; an object of discrimination.¡± ¡°Yes, but Orobas is a demon, and he knew about what had happened a thousand years ago and why the dark attribute users were being discriminated against. And he was a close aide of Lune¡¯s, and seems to have strong feelings towards sensei. That¡¯s why, in his own way, he had probably raised Zagan with a lot of love.¡± Is that¡­ so? Was he saying that I hadn¡¯t noticed Orobas¡¯s affection because of my preconceived notions of dark attribute users? ¡­ No, I have a feeling that there are other reasons at play here. Anyway, it¡¯s not like Orobas himself said so, so I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true. But, if Luca says so, then it¡¯s probably right. Luca was Soleil¡¯s descendant, he was extremely sensitive to positive emotions just like how I am sensitive to negative ones. ¡°I bet Orobas can¡¯t actually bring himself to fight Zagan. But he also knows that if he doesn¡¯t challenge you honestly, Zagan will sulk. As expected of a parent who raised you.¡± Him saying stuff like that made me want to sulk right away. A kiss on the cheek won¡¯t make my mood any better. Anyway¡­ ¡°There were things I wanted to tell him through our fight. Things he would have understood when we crossed our swords.¡± I wanted to tell him about those fifteen years since I left the mansion. About how I had spent most of my life inside the Great Forest to escape the discrimination. How I didn¡¯t feel that lonely despite being alone. About how I instead created my own spells to get the things that I wanted, and how getting stronger became my purpose in life. How uncharacteristically excited I got when I became an adventurer. About how I was able to see the moon that I had always been curious about, and how I came to know that gods are real when I met the goddess Terre. And, about how I met Luca. How I reunited with Noel. How time, that had always seemed so slow, sped up and how every day seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. How I¡¯d been scared of my impending death, but Luca supported me; my friends saved me. About the many thoughts and feelings I had while staying at Luca¡¯s side. To express all of this in words would definitely be a hard thing to do. It was hard for me to let anyone, other than Luca, know how much I loved and treasured him. Despite that, I wanted to let Orobas know, to give him something, even if just an inkling, of these past fifteen years. ¡°But Zagan, Orobas taught you your words and letters, right? He taught you how to study. So, wouldn¡¯t it be better then to tell him this in words? I think Orobas would be happier that way.¡± ¡°¡­, ¡­¡­.¡± When he put it that way, I was at a loss for words. I looked up at Luca, incapable of denying his words, and he let out a chuckle. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll accept the parental love he has towards you. The sadness he felt when you left the mansion and the happiness he felt seeing how strong you¡¯ve grown ¨C I¡¯ll take on all of it. And then I¡¯ll prove to him that I am a good enough man to take care of you.¡± He gave me a kiss on the corner of my eye and then on my lips. His tongue slipped inside of my mouth and tangled with mine. At the same time he began to stroke my lower abdomen again, making my inner walls squeeze and throb. I wanted Luca so bad I couldn¡¯t stand it. My hips squirmed. Luca separated himself from my lips and looked at me with lust-filled blue eyes. The wide room had a bed in it, a desk suitable for children and lots and lots of toys. There were all kinds of toy blocks and figurines, and also a large dragon plushie. There were also numerous houseplants in the room with a small watering-can that even a child could hold. The ceiling was a vibrant shade of sky blue and there were four magic lamps in the shape of clouds. With all of the lamps turned on, the room was very bright. There was a large bookcase standing next to the closet, more than half of it empty. It had only been half a year since I¡¯d been confined to the basement. I¡¯d finally learned how to read, so the bookshelves would gradually fill up. Last but not least, there was a cushioned sofa in the room and a small dining table. A washroom, bath and toilet lay behind a separate door. It was a comfortable room, but far too large for a single person. I was sitting at the desk practicing my letters when a knock was heard. The door opened soon after. ¡°I¡¯m back, Ciel. I¡¯ve heard you were a good kid today as well.¡± When I heard the voice, I unconsciously glanced at the clock ¨C it was only five thirty in the afternoon. Father came up to me and stroked my unshaven head. My chest grew warm and fuzzy when my father stroked my head, not caring about my black hair. ¡°Welcome back Father. You¡¯re early today.¡± ¡°Yeah, work ended quickly today. You were in the middle of studying, Ciel? Let¡¯s see, let¡¯s see¡­ oh! Look how well you¡¯ve written this.¡± ¡°Thank you. Today Orobas taught me history. He told me about Father as well. It was a story about Father bravely facing the Evil God and sealing it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m curious about what he told you, but¡­ knowing him, it was probably something unnecessary, wasn¡¯t it? Was it fun?¡± ¡°Yes. Father sounded very cool. That¡¯s right, Father. I, Father¡¯s magi-¡± ¡°NO!!¡± Slap. My cheek was suddenly struck. And, because of the force of that blow, the chair fell over with a large crash. I¡¯d managed to lift my head so that I wouldn¡¯t hit it, but had fallen down on my back instead and was lying on the floor. CH 61.2 Slap. My cheek was suddenly struck. And, because of the force of that blow, the chair fell over with a large crash. I¡¯d managed to lift my head so that I wouldn¡¯t hit it, but had fallen down on my back instead and was lying on the floor. While I was still on the floor, dazed about what had just happened, the door flew open. ¡°Lyle-sama, what was that sound¡­ Ciel-bocchama!?¡± It was Orobas. It seemed he had been standing by the door. He ran to me and helped me up right away, bringing a potion to my lips. I drank it at his urging and the pain faded from the areas of my body that had been throbbing. ¡°Bocchama, do you feel dizzy? Does it hurt anywhere?¡± ¡°I¡¯m¡­ ok.¡± I hadn¡¯t hit my head in the first place and my vision was clear, which was only a matter of course since I drank the potion. But, for some reason, tears started falling down my cheeks one by one. Why was I crying? I knew why he had slapped me. The Evil God and magic. The history of the Soleil kingdom that was nearly destroyed by the Evil God again and again. And, the discrimination against the dark attribute. Because of these I was strictly told time and time again that I mustn¡¯t use magic so that nobody would find out what I am. As he desperately tried to protect his family, Father became overly-sensitive towards my three-year-old self. And yet I uttered the word magic after bringing up the story of the Evil God. It was no wonder he had immediately slapped me. Though I understood this, the tears wouldn¡¯t stop falling. My vision was blurry and I couldn¡¯t see what kind of expression was on Father¡¯s face. I think he was feeling indignant, but I couldn¡¯t speak even if I wanted to apologize. Orobas let out a sigh and raised his head. ¡°Now then, Lyle-sama, I didn¡¯t feel any mana being used, so why did you hit bocchama?¡± ¡°Th-that. Ciel was¡­ he said magic.¡± ¡°Hmm. In other words, you just heard the word magic, so you hit your infant child and sent him flying? An irredeemable fool as always.¡± His words were harsh. However, Father just made a choking sound. It seemed he had no comeback. ¡°Unlike you, who used magic since you were young and went around making trouble for everyone, Ciel-bocchama is a good boy. He¡¯s different from Lyle-sama who used magic all the time no matter how much I scolded him. Do you understand?¡± ¡°B-but, it would be too late after he did it. It¡¯s exactly because he¡¯s just a child that we need to be extra careful.¡± ¡°Hah? Do you even listen when other people are talking? Didn¡¯t I tell you that Ciel-bocchama has self-control and properly keeps his promise no matter how much mana he has. He¡¯s different from a shitty brat like you.¡± For some reason I couldn¡¯t help but feel the frigid air emanating from Orobas. He was a very strict butler even when it came to dealing with Father. Still, it seemed that Father had used magic since he was small and had been out of control. Which was probably why he was currently known as a genius mage. He was powerful enough to defeat the Evil God. ¡°So, what are you going to do? I am a butler employed under you and will follow my master¡¯s will.¡± As expected of the hard-working Orobas ¨C even after treating him like a complete idiot, he would still follow Father¡¯s orders. In the meantime, Father should have calmed down [tl:Mtl suggests ¡°get his head out of his ass¡± and I can¡¯t help but agree. ed: Yes. Same.]. I had also stopped crying, but my eyes and cheeks were stiff and I wanted to wash my face. So I tried to get up out of Orobas¡¯s arms that were still supporting me. But I was snatched away before I could do that. Arms grabbed hold of me on both sides and I was squeezed into a hug while my eyes were still wide open in surprise. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m sorry, Ciel. Please forgive me.¡± [tl: No ed:Honestly, based on some of the stuff Zagan talked about at the beginning of this story, I¡¯m surprised he¡¯s on any kind of good terms with his father.] His palm covered the top of my head and stroked my hair gently. Feeling my father¡¯s warmth, my vision became strangely blurry. Tears welled up in my eyes. They fell down my cheeks one by one. Father brought his cheek against my wet one, which made me start crying harder. I tried to stop it, but only sobs came out. My beloved father stroked my back that was trembling with sobs and it made me cry even more. Slowly, my eyes blinked open. What is happening right now? Though I was still a bit confused, I moved my gaze, prompted by the warmth that surrounded me, and saw Luca¡¯s sleeping face right next to mine. Ah, so that was a dream. How nostalgic, a dream of the time Father hit me. Even though it happened more than twenty years ago, I still remembered the moment vividly. Probably because it was a turning point in my relationship with my father. Noble society was swarmed with conspiracies and expectations. It was a world where people tried to kick others to the ground and where mind-games were played every day. However, Father was a commoner who entered the Brady family when he married Mother. Moreover, at the time, he was just an inexperienced thirty-year-old. He had to somehow navigate the world of the nobility by placing his trust in his own strength with which he managed to defeat the Evil God, and was very careful not to do something that could tarnish his past achievements. As the head of the family, he desperately tried to protect it. As a result of that, he was strung too tight when it came to me. He overreacted to the point where he¡¯d hit me in an instant. Yes, I¡¯ve always known why he did it. Which was why I wasn¡¯t sad when he hit me. Why then, did I cry so much back then? I can understand now. It was the original Zagan¡¯s heart, inside of mine, that was crying. I think that raising a child is quite difficult on its own. And, on top of that, they had to tell this three-year-old child not to leave the basement and not to use magic. It must have been agonizing for the child though to be forbidden from doing something. Which was why the original Zagan wanted to leave the basement, wanted to use magic; it was why he threw so many tantrums. And that was probably why he was hit again and again. After all, it would be too late if people discovered his attribute. Father was an extraordinary mage, to the point that even Zagan admired him, but he was a novice when it came to parenting. On top of that, since Mother abandoned her parental duties, everything had to be taken care of by the maids. Father had Orobas¡¯s support, but it must have still been stressful. In the game, as a result of this¡­ Zagan was abused, he destroyed half of the mansion in retaliation and cursed the mother who had abandoned him, putting her in critical condition. It must have had a major, negative impact on Father¡¯s standing in noble society. However, I had the memories of my previous life. I was curious about magic, but I also knew that if I was patient, I would get to use it one day. There were also many other things that I was interested in. About this world, about Soleil kingdom ¨C I wanted to know about everything. Is this world just a bunch of data? Or is it a reality filled with vast amounts of information that mere data wouldn¡¯t be able to contain? I also wanted to know about how this reality differed from my previous world. I didn¡¯t try to use magic even once, and I didn¡¯t try to leave the basement. Orobas looked after me and noticed my behavior, which was probably why he had scolded Father back then. After that, Father would properly listen to me. When I asked him to show me some magic, he created a small flame in the palm of his hand. I remember being very impressed by it even though it wasn¡¯t really magic, just mana manipulation. When I got excited and told him how amazing it was, he had laughed happily and kissed me on the forehead. He gave me affection. After that day, Father changed. Did he grow as a parent? He trusted me and didn¡¯t hit me even if I talked about magic. When I begged for books about magic tools and circuits, he got them for me the very next day. After a few years, I owned so many books, about so many different subjects, that a magic bag was necessary. At times, though very rarely, he also took me out to the courtyard, which was a huge improvement. ¡°Ciel, shall we try going out to the courtyard for a bit?¡± ¡°! Will it be ok?¡± ¡°Yeah, if we go just before bedtime there will be no one there to see us. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t want to agitate Leticia, so I can¡¯t come see you that often before bedtime. I¡¯m sorry¡­ for spoiling your mother so much.¡± ¡°Orobas told me that Mother is a sensitive person, but that she loves Father very much. I am happy that the two of you are getting along so well.¡± ¡°Ciel! You¡¯re such a good boy!¡± ¡°Yes, a very good child. Nothing like you ¨C a meathead who¡¯s only good for combat.¡± Orobas made a snide remark behind Father¡¯s back as he, moved by my words, hugged me. Father should have heard his words, but completely ignored Orobas, raising me high into the sky instead. Remembering those two and their easy going relationship, a laugh escaped from my lips. Perhaps because I had made a sound, Luca, who¡¯d been sleeping while hugging me, began to stir. ¡°Mn.. morning, Zagan. What happened? You seem to be in a good mood for some reason.¡± Still half-asleep, Luca kissed my head and rubbed his cheek against me. I loved him so much, another giggle slipped out. ¡°Morning Luca. I had a dream about Father and Orobas and suddenly remembered how amusing their dynamic is.¡± I placed my cheek against Luca¡¯s chest and hugged him back. He must have still been sleepy because he showed no signs of moving. As I lay there listening to the beat of his heart, I started thinking about my dream again. Before Noel was born, my world had consisted of Father and Orobas. They were the only two people that I met. I only got to see Father for about an hour or two after he got off from work, and rarely before bedtime. On the other hand, Orobas was with me for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He was there when it was time to study, there when it was time to exercise and there before I went to bed. And yet, until Luca told me about it the previous night, I thought that Orobas did that because of my father¡¯s orders and not because of love. Did I think that because I was a dark attribute user? Because I knew how loyal Orobas was towards my father? Or was it because of some other reason? More than anything, I had probably doubted Orobas because of the original Zagan¡¯s memories. Orobas was Father¡¯s childhood friend, his best friend and his partner. He was someone who would mercilessly admonish Father if he made a mistake. And yet, that Orobas did not stop Father¡¯s abuse towards my original self. Orobas fed my original self, taught him and took care of him, and I think that¡¯s why he didn¡¯t go on a rampage until he was nine. But Orobas was never on Zagan¡¯s side. Maybe because he had decided that the selfish child needed harsh education so that he wouldn¡¯t use his magic? Whatever the reason, he was Father¡¯s ally. However, Father and Orobas were the only two people that Zagan met. Orobas was the only person who could have saved him from the abuse. But he just stood there and watched, never lifting a finger to stop it. Zagan¡¯s heart must have grown heavy day by day as he hoped for that kindness with which Orobas took care of him only to be met by the despair of seeing Orobas do nothing to help How painful it must have been, to be confined and continuously abused by his father. He must have been so sad. Thinking about it made my heart start hurting. ¡°Zagan¡­? Why are you sad?¡± Sensing it through his mana inside me, Luca noticed that my thoughts had turned melancholy. When he looked down at me and our eyes met, his face contorted as if he was in pain. I wasn¡¯t crying, but he kissed my eyes, his lips gently touching my skin as if to console me. I wasn¡¯t crying, but my chest grew warm. I felt happy being comforted by him. I blinked a couple of times and Luca looked at me again, stroking my cheek in relief. ¡°Is it all better now?¡± ¡°Mnm, sorry Luca. I got swept away by the past. Thank you for comforting me.¡± When I thanked him, he hugged me tightly and stroked my back. I hugged him back and buried my face in his chest. Just being wrapped in Luca¡¯s arms was enough to lift my spirits. How simple I was. He let out an overjoyed laugh when I was the one who rubbed my face against him. We stayed like that for a bit and then I lifted my face to look at him again. ¡°Luca, would you do me a favor?¡± ¡°Hmm? What is it?¡± ¡°If possible, I¡¯d like you to win the match against Orobas.¡± His opponent was a seven-thousand-year-old demon ¨C he wouldn¡¯t be able to win against him with some half-hearted feelings. But if Luca thought that we could get permission to get married if he won, then I¡¯d like him to win because of his feelings towards me. That way, maybe I¡¯ll be able to save the original Zagan. I wanted to show him that the same way Father had Orobas, Zagan had Luca. I wanted to show him, and myself as well, that there was someone out there who would never betray us no matter what happens. Orobas had given Zagan hope, but never helped him once. He betrayed him again and again. I wanted to defeat that Orobas, to hold out a helping hand against those memories of despair that lay deep inside his heart. Luca blinked as I stared at him and then smiled. It was a very self-confident smile. ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll win for Zagan. It¡¯s only natural.¡± ¡°Natural? As expected of Luca.¡± ¡°Fufu. Let¡¯s get up, shall we? I have to eat breakfast so that I can do my best.¡± I nodded and got out of bed at Luca¡¯s prompting. It was impossible to know what would happen until the battle started. But Luca clearly told me that he would win. So the only thing I could do was trust his word. CH 62.1 After breakfast we all headed to the adventurer¡¯s guild. Yesterday I didn¡¯t feel their stares because it was after the sky had grown dark, but today all kinds of people were looking at me. However, there wasn¡¯t that much ill-will directed towards me. It seems that that newspaper article had proven effective in this city as well. Also, as it was almost National Foundation Day, the 12th city was decorated beautifully. Plenty of pale-orange fairy lights lined the trees along the road. Such a beautiful sight must give the people who see it a sense of peace. ¡°The 12th city is where Lyle-sama was born and raised. He has family here as well.¡± Orobas, who was walking ahead of me, explained as I looked around at the streets with their Christmas-like atmosphere. Father¡¯s hometown. Then this must be where Father met Orobas and where their friendship had developed. Perhaps he had even been acquainted with Duchess Charmant when he was younger. She did say that they used to be partners in crime. ¡°Then Noel¡¯s grandpa and grandma must live close by.¡± (Nina) ¡°My uncle, aunt and cousins as well as my great-grandparents do as well.¡± ¡°Wow, what a large family. Are you going to visit them while we¡¯re here?¡± ¡°No. I¡¯ve always been with Father when I visited them before, and currently, I¡¯m a knight in training. I¡¯m accompanying Luca by the king¡¯s orders. Which is why I shouldn¡¯t go on such a personal trip.¡± Mhm, Noel is serious and firm today as well. As I was admiring her determination, Bennet, who was walking next to me, looked up at me. She seemed worried for some reason. When I looked back at her as if to ask what was wrong, she hurriedly shook her head. ¡°S-sorry. It¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°I see.¡± She didn¡¯t seem to want to talk about it, so I went along with it. But she was all worked up for some reason and her eyes were welling up as well. Really¡­ what was wrong? I couldn¡¯t understand the problem so I turned to my friends for help and Miranda, Camilla and Cindy behind us changed the subject to something else. Nina, who was always quick to read the room, and even Noel and Orobas enthusiastically jumped into the conversation. Apparently, they were curious about what a butler¡¯s job entails. I was holding Luca¡¯s hand, but he should be concentrating on the duel and I shouldn¡¯t be bothering him, right? At least I thought so, but when I turned towards him, he was already looking at me in his usual manner. Also, it seemed that he had been following the conversation and had a wry smile on his face. ¡°That¡¯s where you need to push a little harder, Zagan.¡± Oh, I see¡­ that ¡°it¡¯s nothing¡± from earlier actually meant the complete opposite and she did want me to ask her about it. ¡°Sorry, Bennet. I didn¡¯t notice.¡± ¡°N-no. I¡¯m at fault here for immediately saying that it¡¯s nothing. Zagan-san just took my words at face value.¡± Well, I mean she¡¯s right, but I already knew that Bennet was a timid person and I should have stepped up. ¡°So, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°U-um, Noel-san¡¯s relatives must be Zagan-san¡¯s relatives as well, right? So I was worried about how you were feeling.¡± ¡°Ah, if you ask me¡­ I don¡¯t think they have anything to do with me. I mean, they don¡¯t. Even if they are related to me by blood, people like that who I¡¯ve never heard of before, would still be strangers to me.¡± ¡°I see. I¡¯m glad Zagan-san wasn¡¯t bothered by it.¡± Bennet gave me a shy smile. And the conversation ended there. Or not. Bennet was fidgeting her hands together and her eyes were rolling around like she was lost. Did she just find it hard to ask, or was she trying to settle a thought? Should I ask her, or should I wait for her to talk? I turned to Luca for the answer. He put a finger to his lips and whispered shh. I gave him a small nod and waited a bit for Bennet to compile her thoughts. After several minutes, Bennet looked up at me with determination. ¡°Um, Zagan-san! It might be rude of me to ask this, but this is, um, a what-if situation. I-if Zagan-san¡¯s mother said she wanted to be a mother to you from now on, what would you do?¡± ¡°If I saw her, I¡¯d ignore her. And if she tries to get close to me, I¡¯d use intimidation.¡± It was an easy question so I answered immediately, making Bennet flabbergasted. ¡°Eh.. um, does that mean you wouldn¡¯t even talk to her in the first place?¡± ¡°Yeah. She¡¯s the kind of person who would abandon their child just because of the colour of their hair. I don¡¯t want her to try and be a mother now; I¡¯d rather we stay strangers.¡± That was my answer, however, if the things I heard about her from Father and Orobas were correct, then she wasn¡¯t the type of person who would come up to talk to me in the first place. Mother had little mana and not much fighting power. She was a person too sensitive and weak to be a noble. But, because she was weak, she had the kindness to support other people¡¯s weaknesses. Which was why she could never meet me. She could never look at my face, with my black hair and red eyes reminiscent of the Evil God. Whenever she saw it she couldn¡¯t help but recall that fear of being unable to escape the Evil God as they destroyed the capital. The fear of almost being killed. The fear that if Father hadn¡¯t been there, she would have no doubt died. But, as a mother, she couldn¡¯t show her frightened self in front of her son. So that person chose not to meet me.1 From now on, if I stay by Luca¡¯s side, I would probably come face-to-face with her, but I don¡¯t think that she would be the one to come up to me. Because, no matter what reason she may have had, she still carries the guilt of having abandoned her child. My weak and kind mother ¨C she avoided my existence so I don¡¯t know if she felt any love for me. When I left the mansion, she saw me off from afar. I don¡¯t expect much from such a person. ¡°I hope she continues to love my father and treasure Noel. I hope she continues to live a happy and healthy life without having anything to do with me. Those are the only things that I ask of her.¡± If neither one of us interferes with the other, we can keep this peace. But, when I gave this answer, Luca suddenly grabbed me. I was trapped between his arms and his chest and couldn¡¯t move. The emotions I felt from him were somewhat mixed ¨C part sadness, part love. I¡¯m happy to be in his arms, but if we stop walking like this Miranda will yell at us again. ¡°Uuuuu¡­ Zagan-san¡­ Uee, fueee¡­.¡± I was surprised to hear Bennet bawling all of a sudden. When I somehow managed to detach my face from Luca¡¯s chest and looked around, I could see Miranda with her eyebrows raised, scratching the back of her head. Then I felt a hand on my back. This presence¡­ It was Noel. ¡°Let¡¯s not stand in the middle of the road.¡± Camilla said, tapping Luca on the arm. Luca loosened his grip, releasing me so I could look up at his face. When our eyes met, he smiled gently and kissed me on the forehead. He didn¡¯t say a word, but I could feel his love. When I checked behind me, Noel was there, her mouth forming a thin line. Nina and Cindy were trying to calm the crying Bennet by wiping away her tears and stroking her back. And Orobas was quietly looking over all of us ¨C no longer in the mindspace for a duel. Anyway, we all moved to a nearby alley, away from prying eyes. CH 62.2 When we stopped walking, Noel buried her face in my chest. Luca also hugged me from behind, nuzzling his cheek against me. This kind of situation had already happened once before. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Noel?¡± I could feel the overflowing feeling of love coming from Luca, so I knew he was ok even without asking, however, I didn¡¯t know what was wrong with Noel. I gently stroked her head and she stared up at me, looking like she was about to cry. ¡°I, before, I¡¯ve made Nii-sama have bad memories.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never had bad memories talking with you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m talking about the time when I showed you Mother¡¯s photo. Hearing Nii-sama¡¯s words just now, I¡¯ve realized just how stupid I was. Ah, did she hear what I said? I don¡¯t really care about that, but it might come as a shock to Noel who has a good relationship with Mother. ¡°That¡¯s¡­ right. What Mother did to Nii-sama was¡­ she neglected him. How could you forgive such a thing? And yet I, without thinking of Nii-sama¡¯s feelings, proudly showed you that photo¡­ I¡¯m sorry, Nii-sama.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to apologise. It¡¯s not like I hate Mother, I just refuse to accept her.¡± When I told her this in all honesty, she buried her face in my chest again. Did I make her even sadder? I didn¡¯t want to lie though. After making sure that there was no one else around, I loosely put my arms around Noel. And then, when I patted her back, she let out a weird sound. Are you trying to hold back your tears? ¡°Coming back to the capital with Nii-sama I wanted to have a meal together as a family. Because you said you¡¯ve always been alone, I thought you¡¯d be happy to sit around the table with Father and Mother. Because it would make me happy, I thought that Nii-sama would feel the same way. It didn¡¯t even cross my mind that Nii-sama wouldn¡¯t like it. I didn¡¯t even consider why Nii-sama has never seen Mother¡¯s face, or the emotions associated with that. I am so selfish.¡± My tender-hearted sister, I know that you¡¯re always thinking of me, so I can¡¯t easily agree with you saying that you¡¯re selfish. ¡°Noel, it¡¯s very hard to guess what is going on in other people¡¯s hearts. The things that you do for the sake of another person might actually be a burden to them¡­ but still, if you wish for it from the bottom of your heart, I think you can still try to make it happen.¡± I gently stroked her hair and she timidly looked up at me. A few tears had escaped. ¡°I have my own opinion, but what about Mother? She might want to meet me. At that time the decision is in your hands ¨C are you going to give up because I said I didn¡¯t want to? Or are you going to ask again and try to persuade me?¡± ¡°Are you saying that¡­ you¡¯d be willing to listen to me?¡± ¡°Yeah, I won¡¯t ignore my precious little sister. Though, until that moment comes, I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be able to give you the thing that you want.¡± At this point and time, my heart rejected the idea. I don¡¯t want to have a conversation with the mother who neglected me. I don¡¯t hate her, but I don¡¯t want to be friendly with her either. But, if it¡¯s something that Noel longs for¡­ and if she tries to persuade me over time, I might be willing to make a concession one day. ¡°Thank you, Nii-sama. I, in the end, I still want the four of us to sit around one table at least once. A dinner table where I won¡¯t be scolded for asking why Nii-sama isn¡¯t there¡­ a dinner table where there¡¯s a seat for you across from Mother and Father and next to me. I want to sit around such a happy dinner table.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Is that what she always saw in her dreams? Me sitting next to her? Did she miss me all that time when I wasn¡¯t there? ¡°That¡¯s why even if it¡¯s impossible right now, I¡¯ll try my best to make it a reality no matter how many years it will take. I¡¯ll do my best to convince both Nii-sama and Mother!¡± Noel¡¯s sudden cheerfulness surprised me. I tilted my head questioningly and Noel let out a happy giggle. ¡°After all, before, I didn¡¯t even know if Nii-sama was alive. But you¡¯re alive and you¡¯re here now. The fact that my chances aren¡¯t zero anymore makes me so happy.¡± I see. How resilient. I patted Noel¡¯s head and she let out a slightly embarrassed laugh. Then her gaze turned to Luca who was still hugging me. ¡°Luca, it¡¯s all right now. Sorry for being a bother.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a problem. I¡¯m just hugging Zagan.¡± A bother? To Luca? I couldn¡¯t understand what she was saying, so I turned around to ask Luca and got kissed on the forehead. ¡°It¡¯s because the world doesn¡¯t know that Zagan and Noel are brother and sister, and because you are my fianc¨¦. If rumors spread that my fianc¨¦ was seen hugging the count¡¯s daughter, it might cause all kinds of trouble, right?¡± I see. So the reason why Luca was hugging me was so that they couldn¡¯t see Noel from the main road.1. But Orobas was standing at the entrance to the alleyway so I don¡¯t think anyone could try and take a peek. And, on the other side, the five other girls, who moved slightly away from us, were standing, hiding Noel from the back. Despite that, we still needed to be extra careful as rumors could easily spread. Especially those that concern the prince, Luca. It is unclear in which direction the people¡¯s thoughts may turn and it is possible that instead of badmouthing me, they would turn their ire towards Noel, the young lady of the Brady family. In any case, we couldn¡¯t be too cautious. In the meantime, Noel let go of me and turned to look at our friends. It seemed that Bennet had already stopped crying and that they were waiting for us to finish our conversation. Luca called out to them. ¡°Sorry for making you wait. Bennet, is everything ok now?¡± ¡°Y-yes. I¡¯m sorry too ¨C I ended up taking so much of your time when you have important business to attend to.¡± ¡°The duel is my own personal problem so you don¡¯t need to mind it. But, may I ask ¨C why did you decide to ask Zagan about his mother? You asked despite saying that the question might be rude, so I thought that you must have a reason, right?¡± Luca asked in a soft voice and Bennet¡¯s eyes wandered for a bit before she gave a firm nod. ¡°Yes. That¡­ I thought about it while I was in bed last night. That after clearing this dungeon, we¡¯ll head to the capital and this journey will end. Luca-san and Noel-san have homes in the capital, and Zagan-san will stay with Luca-san. I¡¯m sure that everyone else will go back to their homes as well. But I, I was wondering what I should do. I, um, my father, from some point¡­ we don¡¯t have a good relationship. So¡­ should I go back? Or should I forget about my home? I was thinking about that.¡± Speaking of which, Bennet was saved by Luca when she was in the middle of running away from her father who tried to sell her off to pay his debts. Of course she¡¯d be worried about going back to that house. So that¡¯s why she asked me about my mother. Did my answer help somehow? ¡°I¡¯m also worried about that. Being with you guys is great and stuff but I¡¯ll only get to spend time with Luca and Noel until we get to the capital, right? Over there I can¡¯t treat the prince and a noble lady the same as I¡¯ve been doing so far. And there aren¡¯t any dungeons in the capital either, so it might not work for an adventurer like me¡­ well, I did hear that the monsters around the capital are strong enough in their own way, but still, I¡¯m worried.¡± (Miranda) ¡°Me too, I just left the store like that. Even if I do move closer to Zagan and the others, I¡¯ll have to go back at least once.¡± (Camilla) ¡°I can¡¯t really give you a definitive answer until I know what will become of the Dark Organization. If Eloi-kun goes to prison, I¡¯d like to live close to him. If that happens, I¡¯ll also need to go home at least once to properly resign from my job.¡± (Cindy) I wonder if that, the future, was what the three of them were discussing back then? Nina hasn¡¯t said anything, but she did ask Orobas about being butler so she might be thinking of becoming Noel¡¯s exclusive butler. She doesn¡¯t have a place to go back to and that will allow her to stay by Noel¡¯s side. ¡°It makes me lonely thinking of how we¡¯re going to be going our separate ways. I want us to be together forever. But that¡¯s not possible, is it?¡± (Bennet) I wonder¡­ if they all move to the capital, we¡¯ll be able to see each other often in the future as well. ¡°And earlier, I heard what Zagan-san said and what Noel-san said, and I started thinking that I have to make it clear where I stand. But meeting Father, that¡­ it¡¯s scary.¡± (Bennet) ¡°If you want, I¡¯ll come with you and send him flying.¡± Bennet giggled as Miranda flexed her biceps. ¡°That¡¯s why I want to think about it a little more, talk with all of you a lot and find my answer.¡± ¡°I see. If you don¡¯t plan on going back, I¡¯ll hire you. Since Zagan and I will be living together we¡¯ll need at least one maid.¡± ¡°Ah! T-that sounds wonderful. Uwa, what should I do? I don¡¯t want to go back now.¡± I couldn¡¯t help but smile at Bennet¡¯s excitement. All the others laughed as well. But I could feel just a slight pang of melancholy in the air. The moment we clear this dungeon, we have to go to the capital right away. The end of our journey¡­ the time to say goodbye ¨C it was looming ever closer. 2 CH 63.1 We arrived at the Adventurer¡¯s Guild. The number of adventurers was sparse since rush hour had passed. Even the guild personnel seem to have some time to spare now. I made sure to suppress my presence as I took into consideration the mistake I made in the 11th city, but there were still some people who looked over at me. But even when we made eye contact, they just slightly bowed. Although some adventurers were excited by the Prince¡¯s visit, they didn¡¯t fear me or direct their bloodlust at me like last time. Was it because word had spread that there would be a black-haired person by the Prince¡¯s side and they were prepared for it? We all stopped by the counter to check the availability of the underground training centre. It was vacant, and when we tried asking whether it could be reserved for us, we managed to get them to agree. Since Orobas is a demon, it could get troublesome if he was exposed so I was grateful they approved. By the way, they fundamentally do not give out reservations in order to prevent any problems happening between adventurers. Moreover, it seems at least one guild personnel must be present to observe. Despite all that, they probably gave the approval because the Prince was present. Also because there were already seven people spectating, it was judged that any additions to the audience would be a hindrance. Anyway, we went down the stairs and entered the training centre. After locking the door, I checked to make sure the magic barrier was functioning properly. In the meantime, Luca and Orobas each drew their weapons. Luca¡¯s was a katana while Orobas¡¯ was using a rapier and a dagger. A weapon that can be obtained from the 10th dungeon ©¤ the katana. Of course, Luca himself had his own romantic fantasy for a sword such that since late October, the weapon he sometimes hangs at his waist had been changed to the katana. But I never thought he would be in possession of that katana. The beauty of the blade with its mirror-like shine was indeed eye-catching, but what was most distinctive was its guard. The guard was three-dimensional, rather than flat, with a faint light floating within the elaborate, yet delicate decorations. The blade and handle were completely separated from each other by the guard which meant the blade and guard could easily be broken apart when using the katana. However, that is the strongest sword-type weapon in Lumi¨¨re ©¤ Amaterasu. A hidden weapon that lies beyond an extremely difficult gimmick in the 11th dungeon.1 It was apparent just by looking at it that it was a weapon formed by the world ¨C one that could never be created by human hands. To be able to acquire an item in real life that was hard to obtain even in the game¡­ Luca¡¯s really amazing. That very same Luca evoked body strengthening, releasing a huge amount of mana whilst directing intimidation outward, and took up a stance with his katana. ¡°As I mentioned last night, magic and sword techniques are not allowed. Using magic in particular may lead to the possibility of destroying the building after all. But magic wall and body strengthening is allowed. Is there any problem so far?¡± (Orobas) ¡°There isn¡¯t. Please start anytime.¡± (Luca) We stood along the wall and watched the two who confronted each other, weapons held out parallel to the ground, points nearly touching. Unlike the bout I had with Luca, was the reason the mood here felt unusually excruciating because this was a ¡°duel¡±? Even though I didn¡¯t think they planned to fight till the death, my skin still felt prickly. Orobas did not move first, as if declaring his opponent may come at him anytime. Perhaps seeing that, Luca sucked in one long breath and kicked into the ground with his strengthened leg, immediately closing the gap between them. He was fast. Even the swinging of his sword was much faster than during our bout. It was a merciless strike, yet Orobas guarded it with the dagger in his left hand. Still, it was easy to surmise the weight put into that attack by the high-pitched whine of metal that echoed. Orobas immediately lunged with a thrust of his rapier. In response, Luca defended himself using the buckler on his left arm. To be honest, that small shield made out of orichalcum was so cool that it made me envious. Deflecting the rapier, Luca once again attacked with his katana. However, not only was it blocked once more by Orobas¡¯ dagger, Orobas even counterattacked. Luca reacted to it properly and defended himself though. A fierce rally of offense and defense continued for a while. With their gazes fixed on one another, the two single-mindedly clashed. A large number of sparks flew with the incessant clang and whine of reverberating metal. Orobas was incredibly strong, as expected. Luca¡¯s attacks, which were practically on par with me in terms of swordsmanship, were being completely shut out by Orobas. Not to mention, his refined movements. Although I may have felt that way because of my lack of knowledge in regards to what rapier fights normally involve. Luca was fighting admirably too. Despite the fact that it occasionally gave me chills, to be able to protect himself against such fast and precise attacks yet not get a single scratch was really commendable. ¡°Hff¨C!¡± ¡°Gh¡­ Haah-!¡± I wondered how much time had passed. Both of them were gradually breathing heavier. Despite that, neither of them had stopped attacking or tried to take a break. The moment one person withdrew, the other would then attack and defend so fiercely that it would make one wonder whether their lives were being targeted by something invisible. What were they trying to relay to each other, that they would go that far? What kind of feelings were they trying to convey to each other that had them invested so fiercely in the fight? ¡­It was something a mere observer like me would not understand. How nice¡­ I also wanted to fight with Orobas. I also wanted to experience the ability of someone who has lived for seven thousand years. Yet watching the fight unfolding before my eyes, I also envied Orobas. Even if I were to cross blades with Luca, he would never look at me with such a sharp gaze. His gaze on me was always gentle and indulgent, just wishing to protect me. Of course that makes me happy, but I also somewhat wish to experience how it would feel if Luca approached me with killing intent¡­ Am I asking for too much? The tide turned when Luca¡¯s attack was caught and his blade diverted sideways. Without hesitation, Orobas brought his rapier in to attack Luca¡¯s wide open torso. His attack pierced through the magic wall, and right into Luca¡¯s flank. ¡°Urgh¨C¡­gh!¡± (Luca) Luca groaned in pain. My fingers instinctively twitched, but I immediately clenched them together. I would just pour cold water onto their duel if I took out my staff right at this moment. Luca said he would win. He said he would win for me. That was why I made the resolution to believe in Luca. That I would never intervene even if a dangerous situation befell him. Moreover, Luca didn¡¯t fall to his knees. Rather, he grabbed the rapier that was stabbed into his flank and swung his katana down in a flash. Orobas¡¯ response was slightly delayed because he was unable to pull his rapier out, and in the next moment ©¤ ¡°Kh©¤!¡± (Orobas) His left arm had been cut off. Demonic essence came gushing out from the severed part. The severed arm along with the dagger it held had tumbled to the floor, that same arm also slowly dissipating into demonic essence. Orobas frowned, but he still remained calm, even after losing an arm. He wordlessly pulled his rapier out of Luca, putting distance between them before retaking his stance, even with only one hand available. This time, Luca did not grunt in pain, but simply stared at Orobas with wide eyes. Overflowing bloodlust and intimidation that made the heart feel heavy. ©¤The determination to definitely win. That overwhelming spirit made my heart tremble and my body helplessly ache. Seriously, why was his opponent not me? Luca and Orobas moved at the same time. The gap between them shrank instantly and their blades clashed with a clang. Before they could be locked in close combat, Luca parried the rapier to the side and promptly raised his katana overhead. Having lost an arm, Orobas had no choice but to guard himself with his rapier and was unable to counterattack despite defending. No©¤ the moment the metallic sound of the blades rang, he twisted his wrist and substantially deflected the katana. Then towards Luca¡¯s neck that was wide open, he thrust his sword. He¡¯ll lose. CH 63.2 He¡¯ll lose. That¡¯s what I thought. However, Luca avoided it narrowly by twisting his upper body to the side, using that flow to crouch down low and swiped at Orobas¡¯ feet. Not expecting that Luca would use martial arts, Orobas lost his balance and landed with his hand on the floor. Luca swung his katana down. Orobas widened his eyes at the force that managed to destroy the magic wall©¤ Right before his eyes, the blade stopped. The two of them were unmoving at that moment, making it seem like even time itself had stopped. ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­It is my win.¡± (Luca) ¡°¡­So it seems. I have lost.¡± (Orobas) The outcome decided, Luca lowered his katana. The tense air finally relaxed and I exhaled. I hadn¡¯t even realised I had been holding my breath on top of clenching my fists with all my strength. My palms hurt slightly. Anyway, Luca won. The joy made my chest gradually grow warm but then I saw Luca¡¯s body swaying and about to tip over so I hurriedly rushed over to him. ¡°Luca! Here, hurry.¡± (Zagan) Supporting his unsteady body, I took out a potion from my magic bag. Since it was a high grade potion, it should even heal fatal injuries. When I popped the lid open and brought it close to Luca¡¯s lips, he put his hand on the potion and knocked it back. Once he finished gulping it all down, he let out a sigh and smiled his usual gentle smile. ¡°Thank you, Zagan. I¡¯m fine now.¡± (Luca) ¡°Really? That¡¯s great then.¡± (Zagan) Although he looked tired and his breathing was erratic, his complexion was fine so I felt relieved. I didn¡¯t have the composure to look at it during the fight, but when I actually checked, Luca¡¯s flank was dyed in red. An attack that managed to destroy Luca¡¯s magic wall and penetrate through his dragonhide coat. As expected, Orobas was strong. Speaking of Orobas, he was in the process of being healed as Noel had rushed to his side. Unlike the way a human healed, demonic essence gathered and reformed his arm. Come to think of it, what happened to the severed hand? I looked to where it fell out of curiosity only to see a dagger lying there. Even the portion of clothing that was cut off with it was gone, so the clothing was also part of his mimicry skill? His hand grew back quickly, partly because Noel was applying recovery magic too. ¡°It¡¯s done now, Orobas.¡± (Noel) ¡°Thank you, Noel ojou-sama. But I could have finished regenerating an arm within an hour even without ojou-sama bothering with it.¡± (Orobas) ¡°What nonsense are you saying! You can¡¯t go around looking like that. I¡¯m sure I wouldn¡¯t be the only one who would feel pain just from looking at it!¡± (Noel) ¡°Ah, so that was what concerned you. I would have preferred if you worried about me a bit more. I may not look like it, but I am actually in shock after losing.¡± (Orobas) ¡°I wanted Luca to win anyway, so there¡¯s no problem there.¡± (Noel) Orobas showed an indescribable, complex expression to Noel who proudly puffed her chest out. He used to make that kind of face before. For instance, when Noel was two years old. My little sister who usually got carried to my room by Orobas came knocking at my door alone. I did think it was a little strange since she was just two years old. Not even considering the possibility she had stealthily gone past the eyes of all the maids and went down the stairs all on her own, I read a picture book to her as usual and laid her on the bed when I saw her dozing off. After a while, Orobas came down to the basement in search of Noel, and when he discovered her on top of the bed, he made the exact same face. A mixed expression that showed he was angry yet too perplexed and tired to express it. Meanwhile upstairs, there had been a big uproar due to Noel¡¯s disappearance. He still couldn¡¯t seem to find the words to say, so after turning away with a sigh, he looked up at us. Luca took a step forward and held out his hand. Orobas then grabbed his hand and stood up. ¡°I thank you, Your Highness Luca. Is your flank okay?¡± (Orobas) ¡°That level of injury can be healed using a potion so it¡¯s fine. So, how is it? Will you approve of me now?¡± (Luca) ¡°Yes. Although frustrating, I have no choice but to acknowledge you since I lost. Besides, bocchama¡¯s heart is so attached to Your Highness that each time Your Highness was in danger, bocchama even directed intimidation at me.¡± (Orobas) I directed intimidation? Really? When I tilted my head at Luca, he let out a laugh. ¡°I guess you were watching with so much enthusiasm that you never realised.¡± (Luca) ¡°Did nii-sama not notice that Bennett who stood next to you was about to collapse because you were repeatedly letting out a tremendous amount of intimidation?¡± (Noel) ¡°¡­I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off the fight.¡± (Zagan) When I looked over to the girls who were still by the wall, I saw that Cindy was giving Bennett a lap pillow. Nina was also limp as she sat on the floor with her back against the wall. Meanwhile, Miranda and Camilla were stroking their heads and shoulders. Uhm¡­ apologies¡­ ¡°This Orobas has taken care of you with wholehearted devotion since you were a baby¡­ no, 15 years have passed since bocchama left the mansion. Even without me or Lyle-sama, you grew up splendidly and became an adult. The little you in my memories is no more.¡± (Orobas) Orobas lowered his gaze sadly. I had never seen him look like this before. I always thought he was indifferent to everyone except Father. That the only reason he took care of me and Noel was because it was an order from Father. But strangely enough, I could clearly feel Orobas¡¯ affection now. As Luca said last night, he must have loved me from the beginning. I just hadn¡¯t realised it. It¡¯s because I¡­ my original self changed. It¡¯s because Luca kept his promise to me and won against Orobas. He proved to me that I have an absolute existence ¨C Luca ¨C beside me. That¡¯s how he saved my original self. An enormous amount of joy flowed from my chest, making me feel like I really wanted to touch Luca. I wanted to hug him close and kiss him. But I had to be patient first. I gripped my hand that was reaching out towards Luca and looked at Orobas again. Orobas who once repeatedly betrayed my original self. However, the world reversed time and caused a change to occur by fusing me with the original Zagan. When I was imprisoned underground at the age of three, Orobas protected me from Father who was very sensitive towards me. He even scolded Father, and changed Father¡¯s attitude. Precisely as Orobas mentioned, from meticulous health management to my education, he wholeheartedly took care of everything I needed in my childhood. The memory of that time still stayed within me. Then 15 years later ¨C the present when I have grown up. His line of sight that I couldn¡¯t meet without looking up towards him was now level with my own. ¡°¡­I am grateful to Orobas. It was thanks to you that I was able to live a stable life. Even when I couldn¡¯t get out of the basement, I stayed healthy. It was because you told me about various things that I was able to live without any problem once I left the mansion. Last night, you praised me for growing up sincerely but¡­ I definitely owed some of it to you as you¡¯re one of the main factors. So thank you, Orobas.¡± (Zagan) ¡°Bocchama¡­ Your words are wasted on me.¡± (Orobas) Orobas was deeply moved. It was exactly as Luca said ¨C just these words could make him happy. Even so, trying to put into words the 15 years of time since I left the mansion was hard. If I were to tell him that I had lived in the Great Forest alone without stepping a single foot out of there, I¡¯m worried that would cause Orobas, who could only see me off from the mansion, to feel regret. But if I were to tell him that I didn¡¯t particularly feel lonely even when I was alone, it may lead to the idea that the nine years that Orobas had supported me were inconsequential. I thought it would be easy to convey how I had lived for the past 15 years by crossing our blades. I wanted to relay to him that in order for me to become this strong, I had no choice but to continue fighting non-stop, and that in an environment where it was either kill or be killed, there was no room to feel ¡®lonely¡¯. That fighting¡­ that becoming stronger made life worth living. But now that ties with the past had been removed, I could feel that Orobas no longer wanted to point his blade at me nor have mine pointed at him. There was no more need to fight. No more need to put it into words. Because if he looked at my current self, he would know. That¡¯s right, didn¡¯t Orobas say so last night? That it was plain to see that he would lose. A demon who lived for 7,000 years, if he fought seriously, he would have caused unspeakable damage. He could never go all out because he would probably have killed me. However, if he didn¡¯t fight seriously then he would lose to me. He probably could tell that I had grown that much stronger the moment he saw me again. Moreover, as someone who had taken care of me for nine years, he could have guessed what kind of lifestyle I, someone with the dark attribute, had to go through, that I managed to grow up to be how I am now. The¡­ parent who raised me. Even though his gentle gaze that watched over me never changed, I was never able to accept his affection honestly up till now. It made me want to apologise¡­ but that¡¯s not what Orobas was after. I need to tell him. Not about the past me, but about the me from now on. With my gaze still on Orobas, I felt for Luca¡¯s hand while he stood next to me¡­ but he grasped it first. Gripping it back, I started to speak. ¡°Orobas, I love Luca from the bottom of my heart. No matter what difficulty may come, I have decided that I will live alongside Luca. That¡¯s why I want you to acknowledge us.¡± (Zagan) It is better to be direct than wasting time beating around the bush. That line of thought was apparently right because Orobas smiled softly. ¡°If it¡¯s someone Ciel-bocchama has chosen, he is sure to be a wonderful person. Of course, I approve of the two of you.¡± (Orobas) I left the mansion 15 years ago. Yet now, at last, it felt like I had finally left the nest. CH 64 No content CH 65.1 I calmed down considerably after I had been embraced by Luca, so we decided to have lunch. I took out the bento from within my magic bag and we ate it together. We spent our time leisurely, connecting our bodies, playing around by intertwining our tentacles together, making small talk or just quietly touching each other while we waited for Noel and the others to come back. Once it was evening, we dressed up properly and went to welcome our returning friends at the front door. I also helped with dinner preparation and then we all ate together in the dining room. After that, we spent two hours playing a heated game of cards while drinking sake. After breaking up the party, I took a bath with Luca. Considering that we bathed separately last night, and before that, we had been travelling from city to city without bathing, it had been about a week since we went in together. The bathtub wasn¡¯t that large, so I soaked while being hugged by Luca from behind. It was already 10 p.m. when we got out of the bath. We laid in bed and took our time having sex till it was time to sleep. The next day was the 7th of December. After we finished breakfast, we checked our schedule for the day. First and foremost, we focused on Luca¡¯s coat, which was damaged yesterday. As to whether we should ask the armour shop to repair it or not, Miranda said that with dragonhide, it could take a long time to repair. ¡°Then, shall I strengthen the needle? I may need to use a bit of dragon blood, but in exchange, the needle would be able to penetrate even dragonhide for a few hours.¡± (Camilla) ¡°If that¡¯s so, then even I can sew the hole shut. ¡­Ah! Then, Luca, do you mind if I embroider a matching cat silhouette like nii-sama¡¯s on yours?¡± (Noel) ¡°That would be great. Of course it¡¯s fine. Thank you, Noel.¡± (Luca) ¡°Alright, then that will be my task for the morning.¡± (Noel) ¡°I need to strengthen the needle on top of making more potions, so that would be my work for this morning.¡± (Camilla) ¡°Got it. Then¡­.¡± (Luca) Luca looked at me to confirm what I would be doing, so I raised my hand. ¡°I would like to observe Noel¡¯s work.¡± (Zagan) Orobas said this yesterday ©¤ preparation for the resurrection of the Evil God was being done in the Royal Capital, stronger magic barriers were formed around important buildings and evacuation sites have already been secured for each district. The King was making full use of his authority to move a lot of power around to protect his people. Therefore, there was no need to produce any more magic barriers. It¡¯s enough just to force the Dark Organisation to have one. Since I was free before the dungeon capture, I thought it would be nice to take my time restoring my energy. Just watching my sister do her work while I do nothing seemed like quite the luxury. Luca smiled and nodded. ¡°I agree. Zagan can stay in the house and take it easy.¡± (Luca) ¡°Then I¡¯ll make a cup of tea before I start!¡± (Noel) Despite the day¡¯s schedule not being finalised yet, Noel stood up full of cheer and headed towards the kitchen. Everyone looked at her retreating figure with tender gazes. We were spoiling her, but since she was still within earshot and could hear our conversation, I guess it was fine. ¡°Luca, I would like to train, so please accompany me. As an adventurer, I would like to catch up to Zagan¡¯s level as much as possible. Do you mind?¡± (Miranda) ¡°Oh, me, me! I want to train too! Orobas-san told me that if I¡¯m not strong enough to protect my master, I can¡¯t be a butler!¡± (Nina) Miranda and Nina wished to train. ¡°I would like to spend the morning working on compiling a record of our trip and since Orobas-san said he would drop by after lunch, I would like to hear about the gods and history from him. But I also need training, so could I ask for your help after dinner?¡± (Cindy) ¡°I would like to have my session after dinner as usual.¡± (Camilla) ¡°I-I would also prefer to have mine after dinner. Until then, I will be making bentos for the dungeon capture. Zagan-san, I¡¯ll prepare a lot of meat dishes for you.¡± (Bennett) ¡°I see. Bennett¡¯s cooking is very delicious so I¡¯ll be looking forward to it.¡± (Zagan) ¡°Y-Yes! I¡¯ll do my best to live up to your expectations!¡± (Bennett) I¡¯m happy that you¡¯re enthusiastic but please don¡¯t make more than can be consumed. Anyway, so Bennett, Camilla, and Cindy want to train after dinner, huh? And as Cindy said, Orobas will drop by after lunch so they will definitely want to chat with him. I had some questions to ask him too, but I wasn¡¯t in any kind of rush. If it¡¯s Orobas, he would definitely come by after lunch as he promised. Even if he¡¯ll be going out to the city, I should be able to spend time with him for about half an hour. As such, I raised my hand again. ¡°If your afternoon is free, then I would like to go on a date.¡± (Zagan) I wanted to wear plain clothes instead of protective gear and to walk around the city together while holding hands. We could drink something warm while walking and then stop by sightseeing spots. We could also go to the Adventurer¡¯s Guild and find animal-related requests. A dog-walking request would be great. How is it? Would Luca accept it? ¡­I wish he would give me an answer soon, rather than agonise over it so much. ¡°Hnnggghhh, my Zagan is so cute and precious today too.¡± (Luca) ¡°Nii-sama is always a precious existence!¡± (Noel) That¡¯s an overreaction over an invitation for a date, and Noel, you shouldn¡¯t simply agree to something you don¡¯t understand. Even the others are looking at you with astounded expressions. Putting aside Bennett who looked happy, I heard a loud sigh coming from Miranda while Nina and Camilla gave a wry smile. Though Cindy was grinning, she was probably exasperated on the inside. Not paying the slightest attention to them, Luca stopped his agonising and stared at me with his sparkling, princely smile. He took my hand and laid a kiss on my fingertips. ¡°I¡¯m really looking forward to going on a date with Zagan. In fact I feel like going out right this instant. ¡­So, how about it?¡± (Luca) He whispered sweetly into my ears so as not to be heard by the others and tried to tempt me. I¡¯m happy that he wanted to go on a date with me that badly. However, I still want to watch Noel¡¯s embroidery work. Also, doesn¡¯t he have to assist with Miranda and Nina¡¯s training? Yet despite knowing all that, I couldn¡¯t seem to answer due to the ticklish sensation of his lips kissing my ear and cheek. Let¡¯s just wait until I find the right timing then ¡ª right when I thought of that, I heard a noise of exclamation and then Luca was separated from me. As I looked to see what happened, Miranda was standing beside Luca and had grabbed his collar. ¡°The plan¡¯s already set in place, so let¡¯s just go already!¡± (Miranda) ¡°No, wait, Miranda©¤ At least make it after I¡¯ve given a kiss to Zagan¡¯s lips as well¡­ N-Neck©¤ My neck©` I¡¯m choking©¤¡± (Luca) ¡°Now then, let¡¯s work hard today too!¡± (Nina) Nina followed after Miranda and also turned to leave. Even Luca, who was dragged along, seemed to be smiling and having fun despite everything. ¡°Ufufu, how peaceful.¡± (Cindy) ¡°¡®Tis a good thing.¡± (Camilla) I nodded in agreement with my friend¡¯s words. While I drank the tea that Noel made for me, I stayed beside her and watched her repair the coat. Even if it were soft tanned leather, it was still dragon hide. And Noel was carefully embroidering said coat that boasted the ultimate defence power. It was fun to just watch the process of the cat silhouette slowly forming. Camilla who had strengthened the needle was also working nearby. After putting ingredients in a pot, she had been constantly stirring it. It seems that creating a special MP potion requires a considerable amount of time. ¡°Alright! The coat¡¯s repair is now complete!¡± (Noel) After a while, Noel raised her voice and showed me the coat. The silver cat that was embroidered on the mended area was indeed the exact same as the one embroidered on my cloak hood. ¡°Good job, Noel. It¡¯s really well done.¡± (Zagan) ¡°Thank you, nii-sama. I am happy for the compliment.¡± (Noel) ¡°Indeed, to be able to work with dragonhide without a problem ¨C as expected of Noel.¡± (Camilla) ¡°Thank you to Camilla, too. I¡¯m really glad I managed to fix it properly. It is the best type of material, so putting a needle through it was quite nerve-wracking.¡± (Noel) ¡°I heard that if you do not bring your own materials, a coat like that could cost more than 50 platinum coins.¡± (Camilla) ¡°Wh-When you say it that way, now I¡¯m starting to worry if putting embroidery like this on it was a good idea¡­¡± (Noel) ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about it since it belongs to Luca.¡± (Zagan) Her worried expression was cute so I couldn¡¯t help letting out a chuckle. Seeing that, Noel puffed out her cheeks a bit and glared at me. ¡°Nii-sama is mean.¡± (Noel) ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Noel. Please forgive me?¡± (Zagan) As soon as I gently stroked her head, Noel immediately smiled. How adorable. After the coat was repaired, she also fixed the inner shirt I wore. The shirt wasn¡¯t made of high-quality material like dragonhide, so she made swift progress patching it up. By the time we had finished everything, Camilla had also completed her potions so the three of us munched on some sweets. ¡°By the way, I have a question for you Noel. The 1st of January is Luca¡¯s birthday, isn¡¯t it? Do you have any idea what would be a good gift to make him happy?¡± (Zagan) ¡°¡­Luca¡¯s birthday? I think he would be happy with whatever nii-sama would give him though.¡± (Noel) Hm? Did her mood sour a bit? That¡¯s what I thought, but when I looked at her, she was just thinking hard about the present. I guess it¡¯s better not to dwell on it. CH 65.2 ¡°Wouldn¡¯t a ring work? You two are lovers after all.¡± (Camilla) ¡°Ah! That¡¯s it, nii-sama! A wedding ring! Since Orobas has approved of your marriage, you should make the preparations while you can!¡± (Noel) I see¡­ a wedding ring. That does sound like something that would make Luca happy. However, at some point, it seems even Noel¡¯s perception changed to ¡°me and Luca being allowed to get married¡± if Luca won against Orobas. Was it because Orobas needed to challenge Luca to a duel before he could approve of him? Didn¡¯t we decide just a month ago that we needed to deal with the discrimination against dark attribute users first? Where did that decision go? Although I held these kinds of worries, it wasn¡¯t like I disliked the idea of a marriage with Luca. If it would make Luca happy, then I would also be happy. Moreover, I realized the merits of being married during this last month. For instance, just by being beside Luca at the party hosted by Marquess Modeste, I was able to keep the troublesome nobles who tried to approach Luca at bay. If we were to get married and become partners, then it would be possible for me to join as Luca¡¯s partner for any kind of social gathering. That way I can look after Luca who said it was the first time he had such a fun and carefree time at a party. I also agreed with Duchess Charmant¡¯s words. As long as Luca married me, a man, he wouldn¡¯t be able to father children, thus losing any value he had as a pawn. Therefore by marrying him, I could protect both Luca and the crown prince and princess. This was probably why, for the very same reason, Duke Magnifique decided to publish the fact that I was Luca¡¯s fianc¨¦ in the national newspaper without my consent. The main point is that ¡®being married¡¯ was considered a very important matter in aristocratic society, as it involved choosing the next heir, property inheritance, and connections between nobles. The reason Luca, Noel, and the others had been accelerating the pace of Luca and my wedding was because they were concerned that the nobles would interfere. After all, there definitely existed those who would do anything for their own desires. The noblewoman who went around saying that she was Luca¡¯s fianc¨¦e was like that as well. Despite Luca standing right next to me and Noel supporting me at that time, she still decided to recklessly attack me. Then there were those women who directed bloodlust at me during the party. I bet if I wasn¡¯t there, those women would have hounded Luca. They dare try to steal Luca away from me? Unforgivabl¨C No, wait a minute. ¡°Hey, Noel. Uhm, this may sound like a weird question but¡­ does the Soleil Kingdom have a polygamous marriage system?¡± (Zagan) It was a bit late, but I¡¯d just remembered the game having a harem ending. An ending where you live in harmony with all the heroines. There may have also been a 7p sex scene at the end that would have appealed to the male audience. I could forgive it when it happened in the game, but frankly, I had no interest in such an ending; Luca was the only one for me. In any case, polygamy might be a thing in the kingdom. If that were the case, then even if Luca and I got married, wouldn¡¯t there still be people who would approach him? If I¡¯m wrong, then I could just laugh the question off, yet Camilla nodded with a sound of understanding before looking toward Noel. Noel furrowed her eyebrows and couldn¡¯t look me in the eye. ¡°D-Don¡¯t tell me, bigamy is possible?¡± (Zagan) ¡°Oh no, that¡¯s not it. Bigamy is a crime, so please don¡¯t worry. However, there is a system that is somewhat similar to that. It¡¯s just that I am not very familiar with it so I have no idea how to properly explain.¡± (Noel) ¡°Then shall I explain it for you instead? It is the ¡®mistress system¡¯, so to speak.¡± (Camilla) What the heck is that? Perhaps because I unconsciously made a face, Camilla let out a snort. ¡°The name itself may sound iffy, but it is not something that will have a negative effect on Zagan. The purpose of the system is for royalty and titled nobility to take in talented commoners so they won¡¯t be taken by other nobles. In other words, it is impossible to take in the ladies who directed their bloodlust at you through the mistress system.¡± (Camilla) I see, so commoners are the main target. That means that as long as Luca gets married, there won¡¯t be any women who try to approach him. ¡°There are also other conditions. First, to even get a mistress, they must already be married.¡± (Camilla) ¡°That¡¯s true. It doesn¡¯t make sense to take in a mistress if they weren¡¯t married. You need to get married first.¡± (Zagan) ¡°That¡¯s exactly right. Things like not being allowed to marry unless they¡¯re both nobles or being engaged at a young age are all things of the past. Mother married father, who was a commoner, and even Luca chose nii-sama. Injustice is not allowed!¡± (Noel) When I nodded, Noel also vigorously nodded in agreement. In this time and era, the ones who would have a fianc¨¦ or fiance¨¦ since childhood would probably only be the crown prince and the four great dukes. According to Camilla, the reason why this system was created was because there was a problem with childhood engagements. Perhaps because they married for the sake of their family, there were quite a few people who didn¡¯t love their spouses and cheated on them. What¡¯s more, there was a time when it didn¡¯t matter what kind of wrongdoing was committed against commoners. Thus, the system was established in hopes of mitigating that problem as much as possible. Now that the times have changed, a mistress would only be brought in when the couple is unable to conceive, for the sake of producing an heir. Or like Camilla explained, as a way to keep and prevent other noble families from taking away talented people. Of course, the original meaning of ¡°mistress¡± also remained. ¡°By the way, you can only have up to five mistresses. Moreover, it is impossible without the agreement from both the husband and wife. Anyway, since Zagan is a commoner in the first place, the mistress system does not apply to you.¡± (Camilla) So it seemed. Meaning that for the game harem ending, the hero would first marry Noel, the count¡¯s daughter, and then take in the other five using the mistress system. Of course, with Noel¡¯s permission. It wasn¡¯t polygamy. I¡¯m glad. When I let out a sigh of relief, Noel also seemed to be relieved, as she similarly sighed. ¡°So, about the daughters of aristocratic families, they¡¯d never chase after Luca to the point that they¡¯d throw their noble status away. Isn¡¯t that great, nii-sama?¡± (Noel) She grinned at me. I hadn¡¯t thought that far ahead, so I was a bit surprised. If those ladies decided to throw away their status for something like that, that would be going beyond mere passion and verging on stupidity. One wrong move and they¡¯d just be stalkers. Among the nobles who stood above the masses, there shouldn¡¯t be someone so stupid¡­ the saddest part is that I cannot even say that for certain. Probably because I was making a strange face, Noel apologized in a fluster. ¡°I-I¡¯m sorry for scaring you, nii-sama. There are people like that everywhere, but there is no need for you to worry. As long as you marry Luca, your status will be that of a royal spouse and there will no longer be anyone who tries to attack or insult nii-sama. After all, doing that would be disrespectful, so please have peace of mind.¡± (Noel) Noel clenched her fists and encouraged me. I was actually just slightly taken aback but she was that worried about me. She¡¯s really a kind sister. ¡°So moving back to the topic of the birthday present ©¤ if Zagan prepares a ring and dashingly proposes, wouldn¡¯t that make Luca so happy he¡¯d cry?¡± (Camilla) ¡°Alright, let¡¯s buy it. The wedding ring.¡± (Zagan) I nodded in agreement to Camilla¡¯s words. Looking cool was important. It¡¯s not the time to complain about having the dark attribute or being uncomfortable with the idea of having a family. Besides, the idea of marriage allowing us to be able to protect each other was very attractive. I¡¯m going to propose to Luca in my very own cool way. ¡°You¡­. Have you ever been called ¡®easy¡¯ by Luca?¡± (Camilla) ¡°? Of course Luca wouldn¡¯t say that to me.¡± (Zagan) ¡°Well¡­ that¡¯s true.¡± (Camilla) When I answered while tilting my head, Camilla let out a wry laugh. ¡­¡­It seemed that Camilla felt that I am ¡®easy¡¯. When I looked at her with slight annoyance, she apologetically handed me a rice cracker. There was no helping it, so I let it go. Mn, delicious. ¡°For the ring¡¯s size, you can secretly measure Luca¡¯s finger while he is sleeping. You¡¯ll need thread and scissors so I¡¯ll lend you my sewing kit.¡± (Noel) The thing Noel held out to me was a palm-sized sewing kit. I guess I just need to use the thread from here, wind it around Luca¡¯s ring finger, tie it, cut that off, and I¡¯m done. I gratefully accepted it and put it in my breast pocket. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the accessory shop together after you measure. Although, we definitely have to bring Luca along since it would be fuel for gossip for me to be with nii-sama, not to mention the matter of the dark attribute. But while you purchase the ring, I will pull him away from nii-sama even if by force so please leave it to me!¡± (Noel) That¡¯s right. I want the proposal to be a surprise, so I can¡¯t let Luca notice. ¡°I appreciate it, Noel. I think I can measure it by tomorrow morning, so let¡¯s find time to go out.¡± (Zagan) ¡°Yes! I¡¯m looking forward to shopping with nii-sama!¡± (Noel) CH 66.1 Time passed as we talked and Luca and the others were already back. ¡°I¡¯m tired~! Bennet, get me something to drink please.¡± ¡°Good work, Nina-san. You too, Miranda-san. There¡¯s still some time left before lunch, please get some rest until then.¡± ¡°Thanks, Bennet.¡± Miranda and Nina, who came up from the terrace, went directly to the kitchen. Cindy, who¡¯d been working in the dining room with books spread out before her, ended up helping Bennet with the preparations for lunch. ¡°I¡¯ll go help as well.¡± Noel, who noticed this immediately, set off toward the kitchen. Luca came up and sat down next to me, taking her place. Saying, ¡°Zaga~n,¡± in a pitiful voice, he rested his head on my shoulder. ¡°You worked hard, Luca.¡± ¡°I really did. Miranda¡¯s and Nina¡¯s fighting spirits were no joke.¡± ¡°They have a clear goal after all. It might be tough, but do your best to support them as their friend.¡± I patted him sympathetically and he wrapped his arms around my waist and put his weight on me. If he kept this up, I was going to fall off the couch onto the rug. I looked at Camilla, who was still there, for help and she cleared her throat. ¡°Even in the last dungeon, you went off and defeated the enemies by yourself. We were mostly just tagging along behind you. Wasn¡¯t it because you had a goal, to win against Orobas?¡± It seemed they were in a kind of give-and-take situation. ¡°Also, you got very pent up without Zagan there and left the safe zone every night to go hunt monsters.¡± ¡°Wai¨C Camilla, don¡¯t expose me like this.¡± ¡°Even if you¡¯re you¡­ wasn¡¯t that kind of reckless?¡± It seemed that while he was warning me not to stay up all night, he was going around and doing something similar. I narrowed my eyes at him and he started making up excuses in a fluster. ¡°I slept properly every day. I might have cut my sleeping time a bit short, but I wasn¡¯t pulling all-nighters like Zagan. Anyway, if you¡¯d been there, I wouldn¡¯t have been pent up in the first place, no?¡± I had to agree with him. Even I regretted my decision a bit when I was overcome by the loneliness of not being able to feel Luca¡¯s warmth. On the other hand, it wasn¡¯t fair of him to put the blame on me. No matter what kind of reason he had, Luca was the one who made the decision to fight monsters by himself in the middle of the night. I glared at him in dissatisfaction and he lowered his eyebrows in apology. Then he gave me a kiss on the cheek. ¡°Sorry, Zagan. Thank you for worrying about me. I won¡¯t do it from now on so won¡¯t you please forgive me?¡± ¡°¡­¡­Mn, I¡¯ll forgive you,¡± I said since he apologised. Luca smiled in relief and hugged me. ¡°I like you, Zagan. I love you.¡± Since Camilla was watching us, I didn¡¯t respond verbally, but he could probably feel my emotions through his mana. Anyway, at least I managed to avoid a situation where I got pushed down in front of my friends. I was relieved. I squirmed around and Luca loosened his grip so I was able to turn my body around and rest my back against him. immediately he wrapped his arms around my midsection and rested his cheek on my head. Once I¡¯d settled into a comfortable position, I called out to Camilla, who was swirling around a potion bottle. ¡°Camilla, I¡¯d like to ask you something¡­ you guys, what are you planning on getting Noel for her birthday?¡± ¡°What is this? So you knew about Noel¡¯s birthday? If so¡­ No, there¡¯s no point in confirming with the person herself if you¡¯re confident about it. Hmm, in that case, I¡¯ll back you up.¡± I tilted my head, not quite understanding the meaning behind her words, and she just waved her hand as if to say ¡°Don¡¯t mind it.¡± ¡°About Noel¡¯s birthday present, everyone¡¯s decided to get her something separately. Up until now Nina, Bennet, Miranda, Cindy, and even me ¨C we each got a present from everyone.¡± ¡°I see. Have you already decided on something? I don¡¯t want to get her the same thing.¡± ¡°I plan on giving her a one-of-a-kind cosmetic product made with alchemy. Miranda is going to make her a wood carving of her choice and Nina is in the middle of making a barrette. And then, Bennet¡¯s going to make a birthday cake and Cindy is probably going to give her a book she thinks she¡¯ll like, right? That¡¯s how it¡¯s been so far.¡± I see. I got some good information. After lunch, Orobas came to visit with perfect timing. Not only that, but he went straight into the kitchen to make us some post-lunch tea, which we gratefully accepted. Also, I told him I was going on a date with Luca in a little while and he gave me some recommendations on where to go. About thirty minutes later, Luca and I went back to our bedroom and prepared to head out. I put on a down jacket and a scarf. The scarf was something that Luca had brought with him from the castle. ¡°Cute. It suits you, Zagan.¡± Luca wrapped the scarf around my neck, nodded in satisfaction, and kissed me on the cheek. Then he gave me a peck on the mouth as well. By the way, around Luca¡¯s neck was the black turban I¡¯d used for such a long time. It was made from magical beast materials so it didn¡¯t deteriorate much, and I used life magic on it every day so it should be clean. Still, it had always been wrapped around my head, so to put it around his neck¡­ I guess it¡¯s fine since Luca¡¯s happy. Going back to the living room, we found Orobas surrounded by Nina, Camilla, and Cindy. Orobas had handed each of them some books. Camilla¡¯s were texts about alchemy, Cindy was holding more than ten volumes on who knows what, and Nina had a book called, ¡°How to be the Perfect Butler.¡± We said goodbye to them and Noel, Orobas, and Nina saw us off to the front door. ¡°Have fun, Nii-sama, Luca.¡± ¡°Um, have a safe trip Your Highness, Zagan-dono¡­ like that?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that ¡®um.¡¯ And it is not ¡®like that?¡¯ it is ¡®is that correct?¡¯ Also, while you are in training, you should use polite speech. Understood?¡± ¡°Strict from the get-go, Orobas-sensei!¡± It was only recently that Nina had discovered the profession of butlering, and she clearly only started wanting to be a butler after meeting Orobas. Despite that, she had already started training to become one in order to stay by Noel¡¯s, a noble lady¡¯s, side. ¨C I will never betray you. Being a butler is bound to be hard. Good luck Nina. Our date went exactly as I had hoped. We held hands and walked through streets illuminated by sparkling lights. In the middle of our walk, we stopped by a food stand and got ourselves some hot coffee. As we sipped on our drinks, we made our way toward The Magic Tower, a recommended sightseeing spot. I got excited just from the fantasy-like fa?ade of the tower. It was also a fun attraction though, as inside there were all kinds of devices made with mana and magic tools. What fascinated me most of all was the sight of several, large, moving cogwheels floating in the air. It truly was a masterpiece and, if Luca hadn¡¯t been with me, I might have stared at it for hours. Of course, we climbed to the top of the tower. Luca stuck to me like glue saying that he was freezing and we looked down at the beautiful town below. After enjoying the magic tower, we walked through the shopping district on our way to the adventurers¡¯ guild and looked inside stores hoping to find a birthday present for Noel. ¡°How about something like this? I don¡¯t think anyone else is getting her something like this and it¡¯s practical.¡± The sign outside claimed that the store held animal-shaped goods, so I went inside and a cat body pillow immediately caught my eye. It was 80 cm long, soft, smooth, fluffy to the touch, and felt quite nice to hug. The design was also something that a girl her age would probably like. ¡°Yup, a Zagan-like present is a good idea. Especially if it¡¯s that black cat ¨C Noel would be so happy.¡± If Luca, her childhood friend, said so then it must be right. I¡¯m glad I could find something right away. By the way, at a different store, Luca had purchased a stylish lamp for her. I had said to Luca, ¡°All of our other friends are getting her something related to their hobbies, so maybe I should get her a magic tool?¡± ¡°If you say it like that, then my hobby is watching Zagan. So, if I choose a present that has something to do with Zagan¡¯s hobby, Noel would probably think that it¡¯s very like me to get a present like that.¡± I was convinced after he explained his reasoning. Still, I think it would be best for him to find a different hobby¡­ because I¡¯m embarrassed just listening to him talk about it. CH 66.2 The next morning, I opened my eyes, zoned out for a bit, and then looked at Luca¡¯s sleeping face next to me. His sleeping face was cherubic and cute as usual. I slipped the covers off little by little so that I wouldn¡¯t wake Luca up and stretched a tentacle towards my coat that was lying on the sofa. I took the sewing kit out of the pocket and pulled it towards me. This morning as well, Luca¡¯s left hand was placed over my abdomen as if to protect it. Inside I felt the pleasant sensation of being filled up with Luca¡¯s semen, his mana flowing through my body. Filled with warmth and happiness, I wrapped some thread around his ring finger. After making a knot, I cut the string with a small pair of scissors and, with that, it was complete. Luca was still asleep. Glad that he didn¡¯t wake up, I put the sewing kit back inside my coat. After that, I leaned back against the cushion and went back to gazing at Luca¡¯s sleeping face. Lately, I¡¯d been waking up earlier than him and had been enjoying looking at his sleeping face until he woke up. Considering he had insomnia for a while there, it was a good thing that he was taking his time and sleeping soundly. But now that I thought about it, for the past month, I¡¯d always been the one waking up first and admiring his sleeping face, no? Was Luca not sleeping properly at night? Speaking of which, last night, we didn¡¯t fall asleep after sex. We changed into pajamas, Luca wrapped his arms around me and we even said goodnight to each other. Luca¡¯s warmth and the comfort of the blanket on top of me lulled me to sleep in no time. But, just because Luca was lying in bed next to me didn¡¯t mean he fell asleep at the same time I did. I got worried for some reason and 30 minutes passed by like that. When Luca woke up I tried asking him. ¡°I¡¯m sleeping properly. Well, it¡¯s true that you wake up before me, but I feel so happy and at peace holding the person I love in my arms that I fall asleep as soon as I hug you.¡± ¡°I see. As long as you¡¯re sleeping, that¡¯s good.¡± His words were rather embarrassing, but since it meant he was falling asleep right away, I didn¡¯t object to them. So please stop hugging me and telling me that I¡¯m cute every single time. I can¡¯t change out of my pajamas this way. After breakfast, we were making our plans for the day and I said that I wanted to go out with Noel. Luca couldn¡¯t possibly say no to the two of us and easily agreed to the outing. So, after lunch, the three of us headed out. Holding hands with Luca, we walked down the main street, with Noel following behind as she perused various stores so that Luca wouldn¡¯t notice that our destination was the accessory shop. I was thankful for her taking this so seriously and bought her things when she looked at them and mumbled that they were cute or nice. I¡¯d already prepared a birthday present for Noel, but that was that and this was this. As her brother, I could at least buy my little sister these trinkets. ¡°T-thank you, Zagan-dono.¡± My sister was very cute, smiling happily like that. There was no man who would win against that smile. It wasn¡¯t a problem though, since that smile was currently pointed toward me and Luca. Speaking of which, Noel was wearing a short skirt despite it being winter. Wasn¡¯t she cold? She looked cute in it, but I was worried she¡¯d catch a cold. However, sister or not, Noel was already a responsible adult so I wasn¡¯t going to point out something so tactless. ¡°Ah, can we go in there?¡± We nodded and Noel went inside another store. It was the accessory shop we¡¯d been aiming for. Luca and I went in after her, and a number of clerks greeted us. I did a quick scan of the store. It was as spacious as the other stores so far with countless accessories on display. There was a wide variety of accessories from fashionable ones to strength-enhancing ones. Noel, who¡¯d gone in ahead of us, was whispering into one of the attendant¡¯s ears. The attendant bowed. Noel also gave a slight bow and then headed back toward us. ¡°Zagan-dono, won¡¯t you help me pick out a souvenir for Father? I¡¯ll ask you, Luca, to rest for a while as we do that. We can¡¯t just have the prince standing here by himself.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s a souvenir for sensei, I also want¡­ ah, it¡¯s important to you that the two of you choose a present by yourselves, right?¡± ¡°Yes. So please take a short break, Luca.¡± Even as they were talking, the attendants had prepared some snacks and tea at a corner table. Also, someone who looked like the owner was waiting nearby. Perhaps because of how thoroughly prepared they were to entertain him, Luca nodded with a bitter smile. ¡°I understand. Zagan, call out if anything happens.¡± Luca kissed me on the head and the cheek and then left. The attendant Noel had talked to earlier gestured to us and led me and Noel deeper inside the store. ¡°Zagan-sama, this is the wedding ring section.¡± It seemed that the attendant was informed that we were there to buy wedding rings. Though I wanted to thank my quick-witted sister, first thing first, I took out the sewing kit from my breast pocket. I opened the lid and handed the attendant the piece of string with which I had measured Luca¡¯s ring finger. ¡°From the edge of the string to the knot is the circumference of Luca¡¯s finger. I don¡¯t know how long it is in centimeters, so could you please measure his size from that?¡± ¡°Understood. It might take some time so please have a look at the available designs as you wait.¡± While the attendant was away, I looked at the wedding rings lined up in the display case. It was going to be a ring that he¡¯d always have on, so a simple design would be best. As for the material, platinum¡­ no, since we are adventurers, I¡¯d like something from orichalcum that will enhance our fighting abilities. It didn¡¯t matter how expensive it¡¯d be. ¡°Zagan-dono, have you decided on something?¡± ¡°Yeah. I¡¯d like one of these rings.¡± ¡°Those are made from orichalcum, right? Is it two gold coins for two of them?¡± Converted to yen, that would be 2 million yen; ten times more than a platinum ring. But for Luca and I, it had to be something like this. The attendant who¡¯d gone and measured Luca¡¯s ring size came back and measured mine. There was even a specialized tool to measure ring sizes. I asked the attendant to engrave our names on the insides of the rings, so the attendant left once again. As we waited for the attendant to return, we looked around for a souvenir for Father. ¡°Zagan-dono, that was just a way to throw Luca off the scent so you don¡¯t really need to buy a souvenir, do you?¡± ¡°But if we don¡¯t get something, he¡¯ll find out we were lying right away. Also, I¡¯m saying this about myself, but I¡¯m not very good at lying and deceiving others. On the other hand, Luca spots this kind of stuff right away.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. He notices even the smallest things when it has to do with Zagan-dono. What an absurd ability.¡± She¡¯s right, being able to tell what I wanted to say just by looking in my eyes really was an absurd ability. I have to be extra careful so that he doesn¡¯t find out about the wedding rings. I took a quick glance over the merchandise and a pair of cuffs caught my eye. Something like that would be useful for my father who¡¯s a noble, right? Noel gave me her approval so I bought the cuffs as well as the rings. After making sure the names on the rings were correct, the two were put inside a case. It would be perfect if I showed this to Luca on his birthday and then proposed. Before that, we have to save Lune, but¡­ it¡¯ll definitely work out fine. Luca said he¡¯d do something about Soleil. He didn¡¯t consult me about it, so I¡¯ll just trust him and leave it to him. I handed the cuffs over to Noel and we went back to where Luca was. Seeing him sitting on the sofa and elegantly sipping tea, I couldn¡¯t deny that he was a prince. The surrounding attendants were captivated by him. When he noticed us approaching, Luca showed a sparkling smile worthy of a prince. ¡°You¡¯re back, you two. It took quite some time. Were you able to buy something without a problem?¡± ¡°Yes. There were so many things it was hard to decide, but we chose some cuffs in the end.¡± ¡°I see. I¡¯m glad you managed to find a good present. Shall we head out then?¡± Luca got up from the sofa and immediately hugged my waist. He stared into my eyes and smiled. I thought he was trying to make sure that there hadn¡¯t been any problem so I did my best to stay calm and looked back at him. After a few seconds, he let out a chuckle and kissed me on the head. Great. I managed to fool him somehow. ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but Zagan looking smug and satisfied is cute.¡± ¡­I managed to fool him, right? CH 67.1 After leaving the accessory store, we continued with our leisurely walk. Unlike me, who hadn¡¯t really interacted with a lot of people up until now, Luca and Noel had interacted with lots of people every day, so it was fun hearing them talk about their past, and they never seemed to run out of things to talk about so I never got tired of hearing them. As we walked and talked, the scenery around us changed to that of a calm residential area. Every one of the houses was decorated for the Sun Festival, making it a feast for the eyes. From time to time, a passerby would stop and look at us, but I couldn¡¯t feel any malice from them at all. It was the result of that article and, of course, because Luca was standing next to me. When I looked up at him, he smiled at me lovingly and pressed his lips to my black hair. It was like he was telling those around us that it was true that his fianc¨¦ was a dark attribute user. Because Luca was with me, I didn¡¯t feel any ill will directed toward me. Instead, there were moments when I was looked at with an extremely favorable gaze. Though, that favor didn¡¯t necessarily come in exchange for ill will. The way they looked at me was similar to the heated gaze Bennet often turned toward me and Luca. As it mainly came from women, I could pretty much guess the reason behind it. Though I knew why they were looking, I wished they wouldn¡¯t stumble around in an exaggerated manner like that, exclaiming about how wonderful our relationship was. I was glad though that they accepted our relationship despite the fact that we were both men so I didn¡¯t ask them to stop. It was a bit hard to bear, but Luca and Noel kept talking without paying them any attention, so I kept walking as well. After some time, we arrived at a place near the river and I suddenly felt the presence of someone running toward us. They weren¡¯t that fast and didn¡¯t seem hostile, but I kept my guard up nonetheless. ¡°E-excuse me! Zagan-sama!¡± Rather than being hostile, they seemed to have some business not with Luca, the prince, but with me. I didn¡¯t know why they would go out of their way to look for a dark attribute user like me, but since they called out to me in a normal way, I stopped walking and turned toward them. The person who had called out to me was a woman. Probably in her late twenties. She held a large basket in her arms like it was something precious. I could sense a faint amount of mana coming from inside. ¡°¡­What is it?¡± I tried asking her. The woman exhaled and then took a deep breath. She looked me straight in the eyes. ¡°Zagan-sama, I have a favor to ask of you. I know that this is very sudden and rude of me, but even if it¡¯s just for a second, would you please hold this child?¡± I thought that that would be the case when I felt the mana ¨C there was a newborn baby inside of the basket. They had purple hair ¨C an infant with the dark attribute. Perhaps¡­ was this Noel¡¯s individual event? Learning that the mass murderer Zagan was her older brother, Noel (in the game) became deeply distressed. She didn¡¯t know she even had a brother, let alone that her parents had imprisoned and abused him in the basement because he was a dark attribute user. Noel had aimed to become a knight so that she could catch the culprit who put her mother in critical condition, but to learn that her mother was the one who was in the wrong in the first place, of course she had trouble coming to terms with it. However, her brother Zagan died. Tears streamed down her face as she held her brother¡¯s corpse. If discrimination against dark attribute users didn¡¯t exist, none of this tragedy would have ever happened. She thought she and Zagan could have spent a happy life together as a family. After that, while she still loved the protagonist, she tried to think about what she could do to rid this kingdom of discrimination. And then, in the individual event in the 12th city, this woman appears¡­ a woman who was about to throw her child into the river. The protagonist stops her in a hurry. Noel, who had a great sense of justice, was automatically going to reprimand the woman, but couldn¡¯t say a word when she saw her crying and when she saw the color of the baby¡¯s hair. ¡°But my husband told me. He said that he loved me but wouldn¡¯t raise this child. This child too, even if they live, they¡¯ll only suffer a harsh life. It would be better to kill them now when they¡¯re still unaware of the world. But¡­ I can¡¯t. I can¡¯t strangle them or kill them with magic.¡± ¡°So you decided to close your eyes and throw them in the river?¡± ¡°Uuuu¡­ I am a bad person. I was the one who gave birth to this child as a dark attribute user.¡± Noel stroked the woman¡¯s back as thoughts ran through her head. She wondered if her parents too had suffered like this. Because of the discrimination both her parents and her brother lived in pain. Only Noel had been blissfully unaware. In the end, the woman decided to go back with the child in her arms. The protagonist and Noel watched her go. Noel then solemnly declared before the protagonist that if she ever gave birth to a child with the dark attribute, she would do everything within her power to protect them. By the way, the game never showed what happened with the woman and the baby in the end. Anyway, in the game, this was a very serious event, but the reality of it had clearly changed. Though the woman had given birth to a dark attribute user, she seemed happy. The baby was fast asleep and I was worried that they would wake up if they were moved. Wouldn¡¯t they be surprised and cry if they were suddenly lifted up by someone other than their mother? Would a newborn even notice the difference? I didn¡¯t know much about babies. I looked at the baby, troubled, and the mother furrowed her brows at my reaction. ¡°I¡¯d like to make a wish. That this child, like Zagan-sama, will grow up to have a lover and friends regardless of their attribute¡­ is that no good?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t mind holding the baby, but I don¡¯t want to startle the child, so I¡¯d like you, as their mother, to lift them up from the basket.¡± ¡°Ah, that¡¯s right. I apologize for not noticing.¡± While the woman was in a fluster, Luca, who had wrapped his arm around my waist at some point, let out a chuckle. Even though he must have known that I was troubled, he just stood there and did nothing. Even though I understood that this wasn¡¯t really a situation where I needed his help, it still made me pout to think that he saw me looking troubled and laughed because he thought it was cute. I¡¯m not going to let that one go even if you kiss me on the head. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I¡¯ll hold the basket for you in the meantime.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Noel stretched out both hands and took the basket. When she did, the woman carefully lifted the baby from inside and handed them to me. I held on to them and she left the newborn in my arms. Truthfully, I was a bit nervous, but I managed to prop their head up properly so that was good. The baby slept peacefully in my arms. I couldn¡¯t really feel their warmth through the material of my down jacket, but I could feel the dark mana coming from them. They were only an infant so there was only a faint amount. ¡°Thanks to Zagan-sama, my husband and I were able to keep our composure when this baby was born. We consulted with the city lord right away and they promised to give us shelter if something were to happen. Truly, thank you so much.¡± The woman bowed deeply. I see, so this woman had also read Duke Magnifique¡¯s article. Also, a photo of me walking with Luca and the others, which was taken in the 11th city, had already been published in the national newspaper as well. For some reason, the duke¡¯s article never mentioned any friends, but just now this woman said that she wished her child would have not only a lover but friends as well. Soleil Kingdom was a place where dark attribute users were killed the moment they were born. And even in the game, this woman had suffered to the point where she was going to abandon her child. But now, this mother who had given birth to a dark attribute user was smiling happily. This baby was precious to her. She loved them so much that she prayed they wouldn¡¯t suffer any discrimination. I decided to expose my hair so that I could help those with the dark attribute, even if it was just a little. I thought that perhaps, when a baby with the dark attribute was born, if people saw me out and about with Luca and my friends, they would hesitate before killing them. And now a small baby like that was sleeping in my arms. And this woman said that it was all thanks to me. It was only one person, but I managed to save the life of a dark attribute user. The reality of that made my heart grow warm. It was only a small thing, but in reality, this kingdom was changing. Noel got the mother¡¯s permission and softly touched the baby¡¯s cheeks and stroked their head. Luca only looked on from the side, but I could tell through his mana that he was happy. Please live a healthy life without being discriminated against. After putting that prayer into words, I handed the child back to their mother and she bowed again and again, thanking me. When we offered to escort her back to her house, she refused, saying that it was really close by, and held the basket close as she walked away. I looked at her retreating figure and Luca rested his cheek on my head. ¡°Zagan¡¯s amazing. You exposing your black hair really did save a dark attribute user¡¯s life.¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s wonderful that we can actually see the results. But really the amazing one isn¡¯t me, it¡¯s Luca, isn¡¯t it? You looked past the discrimination and fell in love with a dark attribute user like me. When I said that I¡¯d expose my hair, you were the one who gave me a push saying that we¡¯d do our best together. And you¡¯re the one who protected me saying that you¡¯d always be by my side.¡± Our relationship was published in the national newspaper because Luca was a prince. Had the person I¡¯d fallen in love with not been a prince, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to see such immediate results. ¡°That woman didn¡¯t know just how much Luca had been protecting me, so she only thanked me. So I¡¯ll say it instead. Thank you, Luca. I¡¯m counting on you from now on as well.¡± ¡°Zagan¡­ Mn, I¡¯ll always be by your side, so let¡¯s do our best together.¡± He squeezed me tight, so I hugged him back. I couldn¡¯t feel his usual warmth through the down jacket, but the feeling of being loved was conveyed nonetheless. I love you, Luca. I rubbed my face against his chest and he squeezed me tighter, placing his cheek on my head. I looked up when he kissed me on the top of my head and then on the forehead as well. Then the corner of my eye and my cheek. He looked at my face and I glanced back at him before closing my eyes and he gave me a kiss on the lips as well. It was only for a second, but it felt wonderful. ¡°Zagan, I love you.¡± ¡°Mn, I love you too.¡± CH 67.2 When I said ¡°I love you¡± back, Luca¡¯s face melted into a smile. He hugged me again and held me for several seconds before reluctantly letting go. I immediately held his hand and he let out a chuckle. It was a bit embarrassing, but I guess it was fine since Luca seemed happy. ¡°Sorry, Noel. We made you wait.¡± (Zagan) ¡°I don¡¯t mind. As a knight apprentice, it is my duty to protect the two of you,¡± Noel, who had been waiting off to the side, replied with a sharp salute. She was a good little sister who didn¡¯t even mention our skinship. ¡°The sun is starting to set. Should we make our way back?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It already became 4 o¡¯clock without us noticing. Everyone¡¯s waiting for us back at the mansion, so let¡¯s return.¡± Noel started walking while looking up at the western sky. Luca and I followed after her. At some point the setting sun had dyed the sky a soft, glittering orange ¨C it was beautiful. ¡°Still, that baby was so cute, huh? I wanted to squish those cheeks.¡± I guess they were cute. They were so light and looked so soft and fragile that I was more worried that I¡¯d break them if I used just a little too much force. Did I feel like that because I was a grown man? In the first place¨C ¡°They were cute, but I think that, to me, the newborn Noel was much cuter. When I looked at your face, you¡¯d look back at me, and when I touched your little hand, you¡¯d hold mine.¡± It had been about 19 years since then, but I could still remember it. Two weeks after Noel was born, Father brought her down to the basement with him. It was the moment when I heard that my little sister¡¯s name was Noel that I knew for certain that I¡¯d been reincarnated as Zagan, the villain of ¡°Lumiere.¡± Up until then, I had gathered some evidence, but I was only half convinced. Discrimination against dark attribute users existed in this place and I myself had black hair and red eyes. This country was called Soleil and it consisted of 12 cities arranged around the capital like a clock. Lumiere and the star fragments existed in this place as well as the Evil God. With all of this information, I had no doubt that I¡¯d been reincarnated in a world that closely resembled the game ¡°Lumiere.¡± However, I couldn¡¯t tell if I was Zagan or not. Zagan¡¯s real name never came out in the game, and the only information about his father was that he was also Noel¡¯s father and the main character¡¯s magic teacher. The fact that he had fought against the Evil God before was something I only learned after reincarnating. Orobas was the one who taught me that my family name was Brady and that my mother¡¯s relatives, who looked after the Brady territory, were also called Brady. So I didn¡¯t reject the possibility that I was a mob character who just happened to be related to Zagan. Incidentally, Orobas was never mentioned in the game either. However, when my sister was born, she was given the name Noel. Noel Brady. There was no doubt that she was one of the heroines of ¡°Lumiere.¡± And that Noel was my sister. The moment I realized that, I was struck with anxiety. After all, Noel was my favorite character in my favorite eroge. I had memories of her R-rated scenes. I didn¡¯t know if I could properly look at her as a little sister. That anxiety vanished the moment I laid my eyes on Noel. When I looked at her, she looked back at me. When Father encouraged me to touch her hand, she grabbed onto my finger. I can still remember how moved I felt back then. I remember that touch and the warmth that could never be felt through a screen. She might have been Noel Brady, she might have been a character I knew, but she wasn¡¯t made of 2D illustrations, she was a real person of flesh and blood. That child was my sister. In my previous life, I was the youngest of three brothers, so I was very happy that I got to have a sister in this life. I was going to take good care of her as her older brother. I couldn¡¯t leave the basement and would have to leave the mansion one day, so I didn¡¯t get to spend much time with her, but exactly because of that, I looked after Noel preciously in the moments we were together. For four years, I watched over Noel as she grew. I was looking at the sunset and reminiscing about the past when Noel let out a frustrated voice. ¡°I¡¯m happy that Nii-sama is praising me, but I don¡¯t remember any of that.¡± ¡°I¡¯d be surprised if you remembered things from when you were a baby.¡± Even for someone like me, who retained the memories of his previous life, the memories of being a baby were mostly vague and sleepy, so it was only natural that Noel wouldn¡¯t remember. Also, I couldn¡¯t scold her for calling me Nii-sama earlier. I was the one who started talking about the past and there wasn¡¯t anyone around us to hear her calling me that. ¡°Does Orobas have a photo of the two of us from that time? Or maybe, because Nii-sama¡¯s existence was a secret, not a single photo of you was taken.¡± ¡°Ah, shouldn¡¯t there at least be a photo of Zagan as a baby? There might unexpectedly be a lot of photos of him up until he turned nine! I have to ask Orobas about it tomorrow.¡± (Luca) ¡°I also want to see baby Nii-sama! If they do exist, let¡¯s ask Camilla to make us copies!¡± I glanced at the two of them, who were in perfect sync with each other, with a faraway look in my eyes. I didn¡¯t really want to see any baby photos of myself. Up until I got put in the basement, my hair was shaved so I looked bald. And by the way Noel, the way you phrased that makes it sound like I¡¯m having a baby so please stop.1 Nn, speaking of which¡­ No, there¡¯s no need to ask Luca about it right now. I could kind of guess why he stopped mentioning it. When that thought crossed my mind, Luca glanced at me and I immediately smiled back at him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Zagan? If there¡¯s something you¡¯re curious about, I wish you¡¯d ask me without holding back.¡± ¡°I was just thinking¡­ lately you haven¡¯t been saying stuff like you want to impregnate me or that you¡¯d like to have my child.¡±2 I didn¡¯t think it was such a big deal when I said this, but Luca¡¯s eyes opened wide and he seemed awfully flustered. ¡°S-sorry. Of course, I knew Zagan was a man and couldn¡¯t give birth, right? It didn¡¯t even cross my mind that it was somehow possible to use a drug and I never thought that it would be better if you were a woman who could give birth. I just wanted Zagan to be mine. I didn¡¯t have an ulterior moti-¡± ¡°Calm down, Luca. I get it.¡± I tapped Luca on the arm as he kept blurting out excuses. Still, he looked like he was on the verge of tears, so I looked him straight in the eye. ¡°The moment you stopped saying stuff like that was after I had confessed to you. I mean, you must have been anxious until then, right? You didn¡¯t know if I¡¯d return your love.¡± Luca told me he loved me over and over again, but I wasn¡¯t really aware of my feelings for him. Back then, it was unclear when I would finally notice them. Still, if I were pregnant with his child, I¡¯d be his even if I wasn¡¯t conscious of my feelings. If I gave birth to a number of children, I probably wouldn¡¯t leave his side. He must have had those kinds of thoughts in some corner of his mind. Up until the start of November, it had been my intention to continue to travel separately from Luca. I was even going to go into the last dungeon by myself. Anyway, I had no intention of rejecting his need to impregnate me. I was also at fault for not coming to terms with my feelings. No matter how I think about it, him telling me I was going to get pregnant during sex was just a kind of humiliation play. It was only natural to be struck by both shame and tremendous pleasure when he came inside me and teased me with those words. When I inadvertently remembered those times, my cheeks grew red and my anus began to throb. Luca then stared at my face with furrowed brows. ¡°Zagan¡­?¡± ¡°N-never mind. Anyway, I know you love me just the way I am, so don¡¯t worry about it.¡± ¡°Yeah¡­ Sorry, Zagan. Thank you.¡± Luca hugged me tight and buried his face in my shoulder. I returned the hug and patted his back. It might be wrong of me to say, but a weak-looking Luca was cute. Still, I was a bit surprised when he mentioned using a drug, even though it was something that had been developed by Camilla in the game and was definitely introduced in Bennet¡¯s scenario. Even in reality, it wasn¡¯t surprising that this topic came up when both Bennet and Camilla were right there and with Luca having chosen me, a man who couldn¡¯t give birth, as his partner. In any case, the drug wasn¡¯t currently being developed. To make it, you needed the blood and semen of the person who was going to get pregnant and nobody had required any of that from me. We hugged each other tightly and when we let go after a while, the sky had already grown completely dark. ¡°Sorry, Noel ¨C we made you wait again.¡± (Luca) ¡°I made you listen to something weird ¨C sorry about that.¡± (Zagan) ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s not 5 o¡¯clock yet. Also, I could already guess that the topic of children would be problematic between same-sex couples. It¡¯s better to talk it out and reach a mutual agreement instead of dismissing it as something trivial and having a falling out later because you have different opinions on the matter. Father told me that that is the secret to a happy marriage.¡± Noel, who came to stand next to me once again, replied with a smile. She truly was a wonderful sister. CH 68 No content CH 69.1 Translator: Hushush and Kuromaru Editor: PalenMisha Read at Watashi wa Sugoi Desu! I couldn¡¯t figure it out no matter how hard I thought about it, but when I asked Camilla, she only shifted her gaze from me to the night sky. ¡°A classmate of mine from my school days was there. It¡¯s something that happened 20 years ago, but¡­ my hair has always been this way, you see? So even in this appearance, they realised who I was.¡± Bicoloured hair of red and indigo. Having two attributes is rare enough, yet she also possessed a tremendous amount of magic power. She was a genius on top of that, so of course a classmate who spent three years at the same school with her would remember her. ¡°At the time, I had several offers from nobles to be their mistress. Since I had a lot of magic power in addition to being top of my grade, it is no wonder some of them would want to keep me by their side. I also don¡¯t mean to brag, but I was once called the ¡®bewitching witch¡¯ because of my attractive appearance, so they were also asking me to be their mistress in the truest sense. Of course, I declined all of them. I wanted to become an alchemist who specialised in medicine and open my own shop.¡± (Camilla) Enrolling and graduating from the Royal Academy was merely a process to obtain qualifications. Once a person had graduated and had become an apprentice, from there, they would get assigned to a senior knight if they chose to be a knight like Noel, or get a master and train further if they wanted to become an alchemist. If they then take an exam after a few years and pass, they will then get their qualifications. ¡°For as much envy as there was towards me, there was an equal amount of jealousy. In particular, when I rejected a noble who confessed to me, he snapped while saying he had gone so far as to confess to me so I should be grateful.¡± ¡°What scum.¡± I unconsciously criticised him aloud. But as a fellow man, there were no other words for him except ¡®scum¡¯. ¡°I was reunited with that kind of person for the first time in about 20 years, what more, in the form of a child. Naturally, I was questioned and since I was one of the prince¡¯s companions, I was surrounded by other nobles, which made it difficult to leave. I had no choice but to answer, and of course, I was made fun of. If they tried to take my current self as their mistress, they would be ridiculed and suspected of having a preference for children. Then that person started blabbing to everyone around me that I was a lofty, wicked woman.¡± ¡°So scum remains scum even after 20 years.¡± Just listening to this makes my blood boil. No, more than that. ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t realise that you were in trouble. Were you alright afterward?¡± ¡°There is no need for you to apologise. I was fine because Miranda and Cindy were there with me. Rather, it was exhilarating. Cindy¡¯s numerous cutting remarks1 demeaned the dignity of that person, I mean. Miranda was also standing behind him and caught hold of him so he was unable to even escape.¡± It was a good thing if there were no issues. But to think Cindy was the kind of woman to overwhelm others completely with just words¡­ I only knew her calm and kind side so I couldn¡¯t seem to imagine it. Yet, it also made sense because she was an avid reader who had an impressive vocabulary. ¡°That guy was indeed scum. However, it¡¯s also true that many people get deceived by appearances. It¡¯s not a problem with those who know me personally, but there are also those who don¡¯t. It¡¯s hard to gain trust with the appearance of a child, and you¡¯ll also be criticised for trivial things. Particularly in the matter of medical care, it¡¯s best to assume you will not be trusted.¡± I see¡­ that¡¯s true. It¡¯s natural there will be serious problems if she stays in a child¡¯s appearance. This is reality. This is not a story where it¡¯s all automatically fine once we reach the ending. ¡°That is why I am doing research ¨C I hope to be able to turn back. I borrowed some alchemy books that are over a thousand years old from Orobas-dono and it describes a lot of past wisdom that enlightened me on the subject. So it should definitely be possible. ¡­Ah, I made 150 bottles of the MP potion you requested and gave them to Cindy yesterday so do not worry.¡± ¡°You made 50 extra for me? That¡¯s amazing.¡± Casually accepting a request that should have definitely been difficult in between her research on top of completing it at 150%¡ªas expected of the genius alchemist. ¡°I will gratefully accept your praise, but please do not thank me. It is my role as a medic to try to save as many lives as I can.¡± Camilla¡¯s straightforward and honest attitude towards her work. The reason I don¡¯t get caught up in her childish appearance is because I know her as that kind of person. A mandatory event in Camilla¡¯s route was to face patients as a medical alchemist wherever she went. In order to gain the knowledge to turn back to normal, she visits alchemists from all around the world, assisting them with simple treatments and sometimes even being asked to save patients with incurable diseases. The genius alchemist¡ªCrimson Night Flower Camilla¡ªa name known to anyone in the alchemic world. However, just because she¡¯s called a ¡®genius¡¯ and relied on by people, it does not mean she can save everyone. At times, she would also get stricken with anguish in front of the lives she cannot save. Her scenario would then involve getting closer to Camilla to comfort her. ¡°Anyway, until I return to normal, I need to take a break from being a medical practitioner. I am determined to turn back to normal, but the fact is that I do not know when that will be. Which is why just until I succeed, is it okay for me to stay at your mansion?¡± ¡°Of course. If you, my friend, are in trouble, I will lend you a hand as much as you need.¡± An uncertain future over whether she can really turn back to normal or not. Even Camilla, who is tougher and more sensible than anyone else, would naturally feel uneasy if she were placed in that situation. That was the reason for my immediate agreement, yet Camilla just raised her eyebrows and sighed. ¡°I somewhat expected it, but I will still get worried if you just agree without any hesitation like that. Even though there is a possibility that I will never turn back. Of course, I will pay rent.¡± ¡°Assuming that one of the MP potions you made is equal to one month of rent, you have basically paid for 12 and a half years of rent.¡± When Camilla accepted the production request, she told me she would return as much of the dragon blood as possible since I was one of the contributors during the dragon subjugation. Even though the production would normally not be free, she had not charged me for payment. So I will also write it off by not demanding rent. And no matter the reason, it¡¯s just reassuring to know that Camilla will still be by our side from now on. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for your quick thinking, I would have died in the 9th city. Moreover, you even developed a special MP potion to prevent magic deficiency. You may think that you just did what was natural to you as a friend as well as a medical practitioner, but I am truly grateful. Surely Luca is, too. So you should just take care of us until you are satisfied.¡± ¡°¡­You are indeed strong and beautiful.¡± I had no idea why she replied with praise, not to mention that it embarrassed me, but I did not object to it. It¡¯s because I was once told something similar by Nina. Besides, denying other people¡¯s impressions and what they feel about me would be strange. I finished drinking my tea, but Camilla still had hers left. Moreover, she wrapped her small hands around the warm teacup and stared at the swaying surface. Was there still something she wanted to talk about? When I questioningly looked at Camilla, she quietly started speaking without raising her head. ¡°¡­Hey, Zagan. If I told you the reason I prioritised your MP potions over my research¡ªthat the reason I worried about your health wasn¡¯t because we are friends, but for atonement¡­ what would you do?¡± Atonement? What kind of sin could Camilla, the medical practitioner who possesses a noble spirit, even commit? Nothing could be done with the fact that she was unable to save a patient with an incurable disease. No one is perfect after all. Moreover, even while she feels distressed by that fact, she still does her best to save new patients. ¡°I think that¡­ the profession of a medical practitioner is difficult. You¡¯ll be thanked if you succeed, but if someone dies, you¡¯ll probably be blamed by that person, the bereaved family, and those close to them. From their point of view, Camilla might be a sinner. But even so, I respect the Camilla who constantly tries to save lives.¡± I didn¡¯t know whether she needed to be comforted or not, even so, I told her that she wasn¡¯t in the wrong. However, she continued to stare at the tea in her cup. She didn¡¯t seem to be crying, nor did she seem troubled. Silence hung in the air. I felt a bit cold even though I was wrapped in a blanket. The air I exhaled was white. Should we head back inside soon? As I looked at the stars while thinking that way, Camilla let out a sigh. ¡°I¡¯m an alchemist who specialises in medicine. I¡¯ve seen many patients while I sold medicine. I¡¯ve also given consultations and sometimes helped with childbirth. ¡­There were also times when the child that was born was of the dark attribute.¡± Camilla suddenly raised her head. No emotion could be seen in her profile. CH 69.2 Translator: Hushush Editor: PalenMisha Read at Watashi wa Sugoi Desu! TW: Mentions of infanticide & neonaticide ¡°What did a newborn even do? Nothing. But the parents who gave birth to them would come to me, asking for me to end their lives. Do you not think it is they who are the more wicked ones? ¡­Murdering and disposing of the stillborn babies just as they requested ¡ª am I not the most wicked one?¡± She killed several newborns who had the dark attribute. I get it now. She wanted to be alone with me so she could tell me that. If she just wanted to talk about being under our care, it wouldn¡¯t matter if Luca were here. ¡°Unlike in the case of a patient who inevitably died despite all my efforts, I murdered those babies with a clear mind. Whatever the reason, I am guilty. I have no justification for taking their lives, and I intended to bear this sin for the rest of my life without telling anyone about it.¡± If she had kept those children with dark attributes alive, there would have been various disadvantages. Their families might have broken apart just like Nina¡¯s, and even if they had been loved by their parents, they would definitely have been persecuted by those around them. In the end, they would have murdered people with other attributes without hesitation like the Dark Organisation. They could potentially take the lives of thousands, just as my original self did. Considering the disadvantages it could have caused, killing the newborn babies would result in the least number of casualties. Besides, Camilla was merely requested to do it. She could have flat-out refused by saying it had nothing to do with her. Was the reason she accepted the request because she took into account the fact that refusing would just further drive her patient¡¯s mind into a corner? Or was it an attempt to prevent a future where the parents are unable to kill their children out of love and therefore cause even further casualties? Whatever the case, considering the discrimination against those with the dark attribute, Camilla¡¯s choice was the right one. Camilla herself, however, never hoped to elicit sympathy and lessen her guilt by telling anyone about it. ¡°¡­Then why did you decide to tell me at this moment? It must have been a secret that you kept to yourself for years.¡± She turned her gaze towards me when I asked. She is strong. No matter how much guilt she carries, I can feel the tremendous willpower in her eyes. ¡°You were all happily talking about it at dinner the day before yesterday, were you not? That a mother who gave birth to a baby with the dark attribute thanked you? It has been a month since you asked us to work alongside you to get rid of discrimination. As a friend, I was genuinely proud of you who had achieved results in just that short period of time. ¡­But it felt too insincere of me to give you words of praise while I was still deceiving you.¡± ¡°You? Deceiving me?¡± I have no recollection of that at all. When I tilted my head, she let out a snicker. ¡°Earlier I asked what you would do if I said I did this for atonement, right? In exchange for murdering infants who were born with the dark attribute, I was selfishly atoning for my sins by helping you, Zagan, who has the dark attribute. In other words, my friendship with you has redemption calculated deeply into it.¡± I see. In retrospect, Camilla had never directed any negative feelings toward me. Even when we first met in the 4th dungeon, she participated in the battle because she wanted to know what kind of abilities someone like me, with a vast amount of magical power, had. Camilla was friendly to me from the beginning, even with my dark attribute. However, like Cindy, who acted similarly, I thoughtlessly assumed she had a fearless personality. In actuality, it was because she had her own reasons. ¡°¡­Murdering and disposing of the stillborn babies just as they requested ¨C am I not the most wicked one?¡± The public perception is that people with dark attributes are evil. But Camilla realised from her own experience that it was the fault of the people around her who started discriminating in the first place. That was why she hadn¡¯t held any prejudice against me and even willingly agreed to create the MP potions to help the Dark Organisation members. The reason she didn¡¯t charge any fees was also a form of atonement. ¡°Despite being a medic, I was only able to take their lives away from them, while you managed to save them in only one month. I would like to wholeheartedly praise your amazing achievement. But if I had continued deceiving you, then no amount of compliments I gave would have moved you. Thus, I revealed the truth to you.¡± No, I am moved though? Even if her actions were calculated to some point, the friendship I felt with her had always been genuine. At the beginning of June, we exchanged words naturally right after we were introduced to each other. In August, we worked in the same space and she even invited me for a break where we ate jelly together. I remember feeling happy about her consideration of me. The words she spoke right after I woke up from my critical condition after the dragon battle really reverberated in my heart. ¡°Don¡¯t let yourself become like this again.¡±1 Her gaze at that time was exactly like the one she has now ¡ª firm. Even that time when I said I wanted to get rid of the discrimination against dark attribute users and was explaining the method a month ago ¡ª the person who agreed to it first and foremost was Camilla. ¡°Of course we don¡¯t mind. We¡¯ll be by your side, Zagan, no matter where you go.¡±2 How could I doubt her friendship when she said such dependable words aloud without hesitation? ¡°I don¡¯t care about the calculations. Rather, make use of it as much as you can if that will help lighten your feelings even the slightest. Especially if that will help the ¡®medical practitioner¡¯ Camilla, who always tries to save all lives, regardless of their attributes.¡± I quietly stared at Camilla and she smiled softly. The smile of an adult despite her childish appearance. ¡°You are indeed a wonderful man, Zagan. Not only do you have a strong spirit, but you always move forward in the face of adversity. That strength of yours attracts not only Luca and Noel, but also everyone else around you. I am a criminal¡­ Even so, I wish to accompany you to the very end.¡± ¡°Of course. It is very reassuring to have your support.¡± ¡°Fantastic. I look forward to continuing to work with you, my friend.¡± I gave a firm nod to my friend whose words touched my heart to no end. Once we finished our talk and went inside, Luca immediately picked me up and took me straight to the bath. I was genuinely getting cold from staying outside, so I obediently let him take me away. My body started to warm up as I soaked in the bath and leaned against Luca, who hugged me from behind. He laughed a little when I let out a sigh of relief. I nodded when he asked, ¡°It feels good, doesn¡¯t it?¡± but even so¡­ ¡°You¡¯re not going to ask about what Camilla and I talked about today? Even Miranda was worriedly asking when I talked to her.¡± ¡°It¡¯s because the person you were dealing with was Camilla. What Camilla has towards Zagan is pure friendship, not to mention I was able to see the two of you from inside.¡± ¡®Pure friendship¡¯, is it? If Luca, who is of the light attribute, says so, then there can be no doubt. In the end, Camilla¡¯s talk of atonement and calculations was nothing more than a trigger for friendship. ¡°Then, as for Miranda, you were worried that something might be up since she hated me for quite a while from our first meeting, right?¡± ¡°Huh? Ah, yeah¡­ Now that you mention it¡­¡± Luca¡¯s being evasive¡­ Did I guess wrong? When I tilted my head back to look at Luca, I was slowly kissed. My insides throbbed when he loosely grabbed my member while the other hand slid across my lower abdomen. Just like that, we slowly connected our bodies together. The next morning, Orobas came to the mansion so he could see us off at the dungeon hall. ¡°Here, in the 12th dungeon, even the monsters you come across along the way are S-rank or higher. In the last thousand years, many challengers have died to them. The reason why I initially lived here was for the sake of conquering the dungeon.¡± (Orobas) I see. It¡¯s true that when there are only S-rank monsters during the journey, the burden would be too much for most humans. So that was why Orobas had been gathering the star fragments here. ¡°However, with both Zagan-dono and His Highness Luca, not to mention everyone else present who are equally strong ¡ª I am certain that it will be fine.¡± ¡°I agree. I feel relieved since nii-sama is with us this time. Let¡¯s do our best, nii-sama!¡± (Noel) ¡°Yeah. Let¡¯s do our best.¡± (Zagan) When I stroked the head of Noel, who had been cheery since morning, she flashed me a cute smile. I could also sense from our connected hands that Luca was on cloud nine. When I glanced at him, he immediately rubbed his cheek against my head. ¡°Fufu~ I¡¯m so happy I get to conquer this dungeon together with Zagan. Up until now, we¡¯ve always been apart from each other for more than two weeks so I¡¯m really happy that we can be together.¡± He then proceeded to kiss me on the forehead, my cheeks, and then my lips. Then, right before his friends could warn him, his expression hardened. ¡°Now then. Shall we go, everyone? Thank you for seeing us off, Orobas.¡± ¡°I wish you a safe trip. I look forward to everyone¡¯s safe return.¡± (Orobas) ¡°Appreciate it. We¡¯ll be off now.¡± (Zagan) ¡°We¡¯ll be going now, Orobas!¡± (Noel) After we each spoke a few words to Orobas who had his head bowed, we finally took a step forward. It was time for the final dungeon capture to begin. CH 70.1 Translator: Reo Editor: PalenMisha Read at Watashi wa Sugoi Desu! The path was wide and the ceiling was tall, but it was surprisingly dark inside the dungeon. With me and Luca in the lead, we walked for a while before I sensed the presence of a monster ahead of us. Immediately, I let go of Luca¡¯s hand, hid my presence, and sprinted with all my might. There were four wraiths. Wraiths were S-ranked monsters that looked like a black, humanoid spirits and specialised in magic. They could use a series of wide-range magic attacks, including darkness, hallucinations, and curses, that lower your magic defence or render your injuries incurable. On the other hand, they were weak to physical attacks, so it was best to get close to them before they noticed you. ¡°Dark Blast!¡± As I ran, I released a mid-tier spell. A number of black spheres flew into the air, hit the targets, and exploded one after the other. Wraiths have excellent magical defence so my attack wouldn¡¯t have done much damage, but it was capable of distracting them. Then, after a slightly longer pause than usual, I drew my dagger. ¡°Secret Skill ¨C Twilight.¡± As I chanted the spell, my blade grew longer and swish, I swung my sword again and again and again. It was a secret skill that allowed me to continue slashing my opponent at high speed until the mana stored in my dagger ran out or until the enemy disappeared. The more mana I had, the more potent my attacks became ¨C it was a skill that was highly compatible with my fighting style. I defeated the wraiths within a few minutes, giving them no time to counterattack. As I was about to pick up the mana stones and materials that had dropped on the ground, Luca and the others caught up to me. ¡°Hey, onii-san! If you defeat all the monsters, the rest of us won¡¯t get to do any fighting!¡± (Nina) ¡°Sigh. I know you¡¯re strong but can¡¯t you cooperate with and be more respectful to the rest of us?¡± (Miranda) ¡°My bad. It¡¯s a habit of mine ¨C my body started moving the second I sensed their presence.¡± I apologised to the bitter-sounding Nina and Miranda right away. My body really did move automatically, but since I¡¯m now part of a party, I¡¯ll need to make sure to match my pace with theirs. Time to reflect on my mistake. ¡°Up until now you¡¯ve been working solo, so I understand that it¡¯s hard for you to adjust to us all of a sudden, but wasn¡¯t it a bit too much to let go of my hand and leave without saying a word, hm?¡± I thought Luca would take my side because he¡¯s so sweet to me, but his scolding was even worse and it made it strangely hard for me to reflect on my actions. Luca stared at my face, giggled, and then held my hand again. ¡°From now on, letting go on your own is a no-no, ok?¡± No, I mean, in the first place, walking around a dungeon holding hands was dangerous. No matter how good I am at detecting mana, that doesn¡¯t mean there won¡¯t be any surprise attacks. But he¡¯d gone so far as to wrap a tentacle around my waist, so I had no choice but to look the other way. While Luca kissed me on the head and cheek as if to soothe me, Noel and Bennet picked up the dropped materials and brought them back to us. ¡°Here you go, Nii-sama, the materials and mana stones. And, the battle earlier was truly wonderful!¡± ¡°I-it was amazing, Zagan-san. You defeated four S-rank monsters in the blink of an eye. You¡¯re so strong and cool.¡± ¡°Thank you. It does feel like I¡¯ve grown stronger than before.¡± In June, I had a hard time defeating three chimeras that were the same S-rank, so despite them being a different type of monster, easily taking down four wraiths was a tremendous improvement. As expected, winning against five SSS-rank dragons was a huge win. Since then, my mana reserves have grown, my body strengthening and magic wall have grown stronger and my fighting ability has also improved. I left the materials that the wraiths dropped with Luca. Since we were moving as a party, even if I had defeated them on my own, the materials belonged to everyone. ¡°For now, let¡¯s change the formation. Luca and Zagan, you go to the back of the line and support us if it looks like we¡¯re in danger.¡± (Camilla) ¡°Speaking of which, last time as well, Luca-kun was fighting in the vanguard, right?¡± (Cindy) ¡°He was trying to beat Orobas-san, so we had no choice but to follow him as he jumped ahead in battle. So it¡¯s only fair that it¡¯s our turn now.¡± So Miranda and Nina took the lead while Luca and I took up the rear. No matter how much I looked at him, Luca wouldn¡¯t let go of my hand. He did have his sword drawn though, and I was also holding my staff in my left hand. As we cautiously continued walking, I felt a presence again. And it was getting rapidly closer. ¡°There¡¯s one monster ahead of us. It¡¯s good at hiding its presence. A formidable enemy.¡± ¡°That¡¯s amazing, nii-sama. I can¡¯t sense anything.¡± (Noel) ¡°Me neither. You sure about that?¡± (Nina) ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s coming. It¡¯s fast. Brace yourselves!¡± ¡°Uh, Area Defense! Area Attack!¡± (Bennet) The moment Bennet finished casting buffs on all of us, the enemy silently rushed out of the darkness. A headless knight astride a headless horse ¨C a dullahan. The tip of its large lance came at us all at once. Clang!! The piercing sound of clashing metal reverberated in the air. Miranda instantly blocked the lance with her axe. Her body was being pushed back by the dullahan¡¯s tremendous force and the others quickly jumped out of her way. I was going to go help Miranda, but the tentacle around my waist lifted me off the ground, forcing me back. Why? I was about to reach a tentacle out to her when Miranda stopped being pushed back. ¡°Ha¡­ this kind of attack is nothing!!¡± Amazing. She easily stopped that tremendous force. The strain on her legs and back must have been considerable, but she managed to endure it without being blown away. As I was busy admiring Miranda, the girls started attacking the dullahan, now full of openings. Noel with her well-honed sword skills, Nina with her dizzyingly quick attacks, and Camilla and Cindy with high-powered spells. In the meantime, Bennet cast a recovery spell on Miranda. As we watched the girls fight, Luca slipped his arm around my waist. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Zagan. Everyone here is strong. So we just have to trust and look after them.¡± That¡¯s right. Luca and I weren¡¯t the only ones who¡¯d grown stronger. The girls had originally been strong enough to face the dark dragons, and they¡¯d been training diligently every day. Especially Noel, Miranda, and Nina, who were at the vanguard. They¡¯d often practise sparring even outside of their training sessions with Luca. The dullahan was an S+ rank monster. Its attacks were not only fast, but also powerful, so even a single blow could lead to serious injury. However, the three of them were blocking and dodging its attacks while launching their own attacks one after the other. The other three girls in the back would then calculate the right timing and cast magic attacks, debuffs, or recovery spells. The girls¡¯ teamwork was as amazing as always and the dullahan was successfully defeated within a few minutes. ¡°Good work everyone. As expected of you. There were hardly any injuries either.¡± Luca praised them after they picked up the dropped materials and grouped up again. ¡°Of course! I could block that kind of attack with my eyes closed!¡± Nina puffed her chest out proudly. She should be proud that she¡¯d managed to avoid almost all of the dullahan¡¯s attacks. From time to time, her face got grazed, but that wasn¡¯t a problem because a recovery spell would quickly be sent her way. Noel came up to me and looked up at me. ¡°What is it, nii-sama? I¡­ I¡¯ve grown stronger since I sparred with you back then. Of course, I¡¯m still far behind nii-sama who can defeat opponents in the blink of an eye, but I can still win against a strong opponent.¡± ¡°Yeah, you¡¯ve grown strong. As expected of my little sister.¡± Her whole face lit up with a smile when I praised her and patted her head. Miranda, Camilla, Bennet, and Cindy also praised each other for a job well done and reflected on how the battle went. Discussing the fight like this probably strengthened their bond and improved their teamwork. As we walked and talked, I felt the presence of yet another monster. Thud, thud. The earth shook with the sound of its footsteps. It was clearly a type of golem. ¡°My my, an easy one this time, huh?¡± (Cindy) ¡°Huu¡­ the shaking is getting worse¡­¡± ¡°There are probably two of them. If it¡¯s S-rank it might be an emperor golem. Now then, what should we do?¡± (Camilla) Camilla glanced at me, so I nodded. ¡°Luca and I will take on one of them. Luca, you don¡¯t mind, right?¡± ¡°Of course not. I¡¯ll show it the power of our love~¡± It would be a horrible form of bullying to take down a golem with a power like that. I thought, letting go of Luca¡¯s hand and taking out my dagger. As soon as I did, Luca looked visibly depressed. ¡°Zagan isn¡¯t agreeing with me. I¡¯m sad.¡± ¡°¡­Aren¡¯t I the only one you should be showing your love to?¡± He had spoken with a very pitiful voice, so I comforted him with a suitable answer. ¡°Zagan¡­¡± he called out like he was deeply moved and squeezed me tight from behind. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. My love will forever belong to you and you alone. I love you, Zagan.¡± Careful ¨C what if you get stabbed by the dagger? Don¡¯t drop your sword either! ¡°You there! Stop with the flirting and get your asses in gear!¡± It wasn¡¯t my fault, but I got yelled at. I¡¯m glad though that Luca was in a good mood and picked up his sword, all gung-ho for the upcoming battle. CH 70.2 Translator: Reo Editor: PalenMisha Read at Watashi wa Sugoi Desu! We went further into the dungeon, defeating the monsters we encountered along the way, and reached a safe area by the afternoon. We were hungry so we quickly laid down a picnic blanket and the bentos that Bennet had prepared were handed out. The second I opened the lid I could smell the meat and it made my mouth water. ¡°Pork shogayaki? It looks delicious.¡± ¡°U-um, for the meat I used orc king. It¡¯s a high-quality meat that¡¯s soft and fatty, so I think it should definitely be delicious.¡± It was typical of the timid Bennet to say it was tasty because of the ingredients and not because of her skills. In my opinion, everything she cooked was truly delicious. ¡°Is everyone ready? Right, let¡¯s eat then.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s have a good meal.¡± ¡°Ye~s. Itadakima~su.¡± ¡°Itadakimasu.¡± After saying my greeting, I immediately tried the dish. Mm, it was incredibly delicious. I could eat this forever. But, for the time being, I swallowed what was in my mouth and turned to Bennet who was looking at our reactions as she always did. ¡°It¡¯s delicious. It¡¯s soft and suits my taste.¡± ¡°T-thank you. I¡¯m very happy to be praised.¡± The rest of the group praised the bashful Bennet one after the other. Of course, they all said it was delicious. Listening to them, I earnestly started to chow down on my food. The meat was truly amazing. There was also salad and some pickles, but for now, my chopsticks were reaching for the meat and rice. I caught Luca, who was sitting next to me, looking at me with a soft gaze, but ignored him and continued eating in silence. That was when Miranda let out a moan. ¡°Ah~ah, Bennet¡¯s cooking really is delicious. If the food continues to be this good, my life will lose all meaning once this journey is over and I can¡¯t eat it anymore.¡± ¡°Right? Bennet-chan¡¯s got a hold on our stomachs. Just getting to eat her cooking every day gives me joy. Bennet-chan, you¡¯re going to be Luca¡¯s maid, right? Maybe I should secretly kidnap you.¡± (Cindy) ¡°Eh!? U-um¡­¡± Bennet was flustered by that sudden proposal. Luca then came to the rescue. ¡°You can¡¯t, Cindy. I¡¯m going to have Bennet make Zagan¡¯s meals every day. It would be cruel to Zagan to make him eat the noble¡¯s fancy food every day. Anyway, we also really like Bennet¡¯s cooking, so I¡¯m not going to hand my maid over to you.¡± Indeed, it would be uncomfortable to always eat dishes where I have to use a knife and fork, but I wonder if it¡¯s ok to consider this a done deal when Bennet herself has yet to say that she wants to work for us? ¡°Fufu. I¡¯ll try my best. Please take care of me, you two.¡± (Bennet) It seems that it¡¯s fine. I see, so she¡¯s made her decision. Since it¡¯s a house for a prince, even if I¡¯m a commoner, we have to buy a mansion. Hiring a maid is also a necessity, so I¡¯m grateful to have Bennet, who is very trustworthy and has accepted Luca and my relationship with open arms. Also, she¡¯s a great cook. ¡°Fu. I¡¯ve already decided to stay at Luca and Zagan¡¯s place for a while, so I¡¯ll get to eat Bennet¡¯s cooking to my heart¡¯s content.¡± (Camilla) ¡°Me too, when Noel¡¯s at work in the middle of the day, can¡¯t I come over and eat Bennet¡¯s cooking? Ah, please make some pudding for when I do! Bennet¡¯s homemade pudding is the best!¡± (Nina) ¡°Of course, the food Bennet makes is delicious, but I want to cook together with her. If I follow Bennet, I¡¯ll be able to make a proper meal as well.¡± (Noel) ¡°That¡­ No. Thank you. I¡¯m so happy that I mean that much to all of you.¡± Hearing their words, Bennet smiled with tears in her eyes. Luca and the others smiled the whole time as they talked and ate the delicious food. Only Miranda had a complicated expression on her face from time to time. After lunch, we continued to defeat all the monsters that came our way, and even if our path was blocked by some sort of trap from time to time, Luca and Cindy worked together to figure it out. When we got tired, we took a short break, and after about 15 minutes, went back to clearing the dungeon. It was 9 pm by the time we reached the next safe area. We were all battered and tired but still got to eat a tasty bento for dinner since it was prepared ahead of time. We had our dinner much later than normal, drank enough alcohol not to affect us the next day, and each went into our own tent. Of course, I slept in the same tent as Luca, and after some light touching, we went to sleep. Then, the next morning after breakfast, we headed out again. After several days of this, I came to know what the pained expression Miranda sometimes had on her face meant. Since that day when we left in the morning, we couldn¡¯t find a safe area anywhere and today, when we did finally get to one, it was already past 5 pm. We were lazing about, but we¡¯d already finished fighting for the day and could have a relaxed night for the first time in a while. We had some time to spare so we had a barbecue for dinner and took our time eating. Afterward, Luca, Miranda, Cindy, and I drank some alcohol together, though not to the point that it would affect us the next day. At that point, Miranda blurted out, ¡°This party is the strongest, you know. Even without Luca and Zagan, we can take out an S-rank monster. Haa¡­ if only you¡¯d all just become adventurers, you¡¯d all be S-rank.¡± The girls really did meet all the conditions for an S-rank adventurer. The conditions were to defeat 50 S-rank monsters per person, or 300 monsters for six people. These past few days alone, they took down about 100 monsters so they definitely qualified. Unfortunately, Miranda was the only adventurer. Also, our party wasn¡¯t registered with the adventurer¡¯s guild, so currently, no matter how many monsters she defeats, Miranda couldn¡¯t be promoted to S-rank. ¡°Everyone tagged along with me as I fulfilled the king¡¯s orders and became stronger as the circumstances in the dungeons demanded it, but originally they all had different reasons for following me. Of course, what someone finds important and what they wish for differs from person to person.¡± That¡¯s right. For Noel, it was a job, and Nina came along for the money. Camilla was looking for ingredients to turn back to her original form and Bennet was looking for safety after she ran away from her father. As for Cindy, Luca asked her to come with him to help disarm the traps inside the dungeons. From the beginning, they all had different occupations, so it was only natural that they¡¯d all part ways once this journey was over. ¡°Well¡­ I think it¡¯s a shame that Camilla, Bennet, and Cindy are going to leave the battlefield behind when they¡¯re such great fighters.¡± ¡°I know, right!? And Cindy¡¯s even willing to throw away her job for that evil glasses bastard ¨C what¡¯s up with that!?¡± ¡°Evil? Did something happen?¡± ¡°Yeah, listen to this Zagan! That bastard, when we ran into him in the last dungeon. He walked up to Cindy with a shady smile on his face so I instantly blocked his way and then he scrunched up his brows, pushed up his glasses, and said, ¡®I¡¯ve got no business with a bitch like you,¡¯ like he was disgusted or something!? Isn¡¯t that horrible?!¡± ¡°He¡¯s the worst.¡± ¡°Right?! The worst kind of bastard who makes assumptions and calls people names based on the first meeting. Cindy¡¯s wasted on him!¡± It¡¯s not like I didn¡¯t understand her urge to shout, but she was completely drunk. Anyways, as the conversations seemed to have moved on to the subject of Cindy, I glanced her way. She was just going ¡®ufufu¡¯ like always. ¡°He¡¯s pretty cute that way, no? He¡¯s a pervert who likes being bullied so if you curse back at him and step on him, he gets incredibly happy.¡± No, why are you telling us this? Are we also supposed to step on him? ¡°Zagan doesn¡¯t have to do anything, ok? Your eyes should only be looking at me.¡± I¡¯d been looking down at my feet, so Luca scolded me. Is it because I¡¯m also drunk? My thoughts had gone to strange places. Speaking of which, my head was feeling all fuzzy. ¡°Sorry, Luca.¡± When I put down my glass in self-reflection, he pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead and cheek. Miranda, who¡¯d usually stop us by now, kept grumbling as she sipped her drink and Cindy looked over at us with a gentle gaze. ¡°I¡¯m happy that Miranda-chan thinks so highly of me. I myself never thought I¡¯d get this strong. Still, in the end, I¡¯d prefer a life surrounded by books than a life of battle. Also, when this journey ends, there¡¯s something I want to do.¡± Something¡­ that Cindy wanted to do? The way she said it, it probably had nothing to do with that glasses guy. As I was thinking that, Luca asked, ¡°Could it have something to do with the thing you were writing back in the mansion? With all those books and papers spread around you?¡± Now that he mentioned it, other than training, Cindy did spend all her time after dinner working on something in the dining room. I think I heard her saying it was a record of our journey. It seemed that Luca was right. Cindy smiled gently and nodded. CH 71.1 Translator: Reo Editor: PalenMisha Read at Watashi wa Sugoi Desu! ¡°I started thinking that I want to turn this adventure into a book. A book with Prince Luca-kun as the main character. I¡¯d like to write about his love affair with Zagan-kun while also pointing out the existing discrimination against dark attribute users. And I also want to write down Soleil and Lune¡¯s story ¨C the truth of the Soleil Kingdom that was concealed a thousand years ago.¡± So something like a travelogue? If Luca was the main character, then I¡¯m sure there¡¯d be a lot of people who would want to read it. But if Cindy wanted to write about love in the face of discrimination, then why not just write about her own love affair with a dark attribute user? Honestly, it¡¯s super embarrassing to have someone else put my own love life into words. ¡°That sounds wonderful. Leave the sponsorship to me.¡± Ah, was Luca interested? I see¡­ Unconsciously my eyes glazed over and Cindy let out an ¡®ufufu¡¯. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Zagan-kun. I have a firm grasp on those secret things I shouldn¡¯t write about. Like the details of your sex life or the fact that Zagan-kun and Noel-chan are siblings. Instead, I plan on publishing all the other things that are ok to write down. Like a lot of stuff about Miranda-chan who¡¯s sitting over there, drinking like she has nothing to do with this.¡± ¡°Eh!? Y-you are?¡± ¡°Of course~ We¡¯ve travelled together so far and become such great friends.¡± Miranda reacted shyly but happily to those words. I also wanted to read about the girls¡¯ friendship as seen from Cindy¡¯s point of view, so I nodded my head and for some reason, Luca called me cute and rubbed his cheek on my head. What part of this did you find cute? I really don¡¯t get it. ¡°I think books are amazing things. I found out the reality behind Soleil and Lune¡¯s relationship from the numerous books from the Terre kingdom that Zagan-kun gave me. On the other hand, in Soleil, they had destroyed all the books that mentioned the goddess Lune, so no human would have been able to find out the truth about what happened a thousand years ago.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If some record of Lune had been left, then the humans might have found out the truth a lot sooner.¡± ¡°But¡­ the books you have might not be telling the whole truth.¡± In reality, the picture book that Father bought me did feature a moon goddess, but not everything inside the book was factual. Reading it, nobody would have been able to tell that the ¡®Evil God¡¯ and the ¡®Moon Goddess¡¯ were the same entity. The things written in books were, until the end, only things that the author saw or thought, expressed in their own words. Also, the way the subject matter is perceived also depends on the author. ¡°Mm, that¡¯s why I¡¯ve read a lot of books and gathered information. If the same thing is written in several books, it could be taken as the truth, no? Zagan-kun bought over five hundred books from Terre and the truth is revealed in them. You¡¯re amazing, Zagan-kun.¡± I bought astronomy books that documented the moon, books on Terre¡¯s history, and many others on all kinds of different subjects. Knowledge is a weapon. That is something I had learned in my previous life. Still, I didn¡¯t end up reading those books about subjects that I wasn¡¯t interested in, so I gave them to Cindy and the books that had been collecting dust inside my magic bag finally found a use. ¡°Books are the products of thoughts and knowledge. When writing a biography, the author uses their own knowledge to record their or somebody else¡¯s life for future generations. Of course, works of fiction like picture books and novels are also packed with the author¡¯s thoughts and knowledge. That¡¯s why I want to tell the world ¨C the things I have learned over the course of this journey, my own truths, the miracle of being able to meet irreplaceable friends, and my own feelings¡­¡± Cindy¡¯s eyes were closed and she¡¯d placed both of her hands on her chest. Her figure, which looked like she was praying, was very beautiful, however, it was tinged with some pain and melancholy. I see¡­ the reason Cindy isn¡¯t writing about her own love story was because of the possibility of it having a sad ending. When the Dark Organization resurrects the Evil God, it is unclear if glasses guy will survive. I had Camilla make them MP potions and also gave them the magic barrier I¡¯d modified ¨C I did my best so the people of the Dark Organization wouldn¡¯t die. Still, I couldn¡¯t say for sure that it¡¯ll be alright. As I was about to react to the anxiety that she showed, I heard the sound of someone sniffling. At some point, Miranda started crying. ¡°U, uuu¡­ sob, uu, sniff¡­¡± And a lot of tears were falling down her cheeks. Seeing that, Luca took a box of tissues out of his magic bag and Cindy stroked Miranda¡¯s head. ¡°Our Miranda-chan¡¯s a weepy drunk. Come now, let¡¯s wipe away those tears, hm?¡± ¡°Uuuu¡­ Cindy, I-I also think¡­ that you guys are irreplaceable. That¡¯s why it¡¯s so sad that we won¡¯t be together anymore!¡± ¡°Ara ara. There there.¡± Miranda glomped onto Cindy and buried her face in her chest. Noel also did the same thing when she cried before. I wonder if that place has some sort of healing power. ¡°Sob¡­Everyone¡­ They¡¯ve already decided what they want to do after this is over. And they all have a proper dream, goal, or job they want to do, so it¡¯s not like I can invite them to be an adventurer, right? Am I the one who has to quit if I want to be with everyone? But who¡¯d want to do something so lame?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I also think it would be lame to break your own beliefs like that.¡± (Zagan) Miranda took pride in being an adventurer, to the point that she was jealous of me for being an S-rank. She wanted to grow stronger. That¡¯s why she continued being an adventurer even after her former fianc¨¦ died and even took on the challenge of collecting the star fragments in the dungeons by herself. That was how she¡¯d first met Luca and Noel. For a tank like Miranda, meeting precious friends, worthy of staking her life for, truly was a ¡°miracle.¡± That wasn¡¯t an emotion a solo adventurer like me could understand, so I was a bit jealous. ¡°Me too¡­ if, when this is over, I had to leave Luca, I¡¯d also be crying.¡± ¡°That¡¯s never going to happen!! I¡¯m never going to let Zagan go, ok!?¡± It was only an example, but Luca vehemently denied it and squeezed me tight. The conversation wasn¡¯t going anywhere so I just left him like that for now. ¡°It¡¯s hard to part with the people you hold dear, but if our parting is inevitable, I¡¯d like to at least cherish every moment that we have together so that I won¡¯t regret it later on¡­ though I can only imagine what it will feel like to be in that situation.¡± There was nothing persuasive about a person trying to comfort someone who¡¯s sad about leaving their friends while being hugged by their lover. I¡¯d even go so far as to say it was annoying instead. Miranda, however, gave me a big nod. ¡°You¡¯re right. No matter how much I stall, time¡¯s not going to stop. He won¡¯t come back either¡­ I already regretted it once. I¡¯m not going to make the same mistake again,¡± Miranda declared between sobs. I nodded at her resolution. People meet and people say goodbye. And when one door closes surely another one will open. Though, of course, I can¡¯t say for sure whether the person you meet behind the new door would be better than the last. Still, for now, I¡¯d like to spend my time with the bawling Bennet who appeared next to me at some point, and with Noel and the others who were looking at us in concern. I want to cherish this miracle that allowed me to meet these precious friends. CH 71.2 Luca and I went into our tent first, thinking it would be easier for the girls to have a heart-to-heart if it was just them. ¡°Zagan, shall we take our clothes off?¡± Luca asked as he prepared the bedding. I didn¡¯t mind having sex, but it was unusual for us to take our clothes off without kissing and hugging first. I wondered what was wrong. Naked, I tilted my head at him, and Luca, who was also naked, reached his hand out toward my waist. Like that, he drew me closer into a gentle hug. Bare skin clung to bare skin. He placed his hand on the back of my head, kissed my forehead, and slowly stroked my back. It felt good. ¡°It¡¯s ok, Zagan. I¡¯ll always be by your side. I¡¯ll never leave you alone. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± My heart fluttered as I stood in Luca¡¯s warm embrace. It was unclear why he was trying to comfort me, but those gentle words steadily seeped into my heart. For some reason, I felt an itch at the back of my nose and a tear fell down. One by one tears slid down my cheeks. I was crying, but Luca let out a sigh of relief. He peppered my eyes with soft kisses and stroked the back of my head. ¡°It¡¯s very like the kind Zagan to try and empathise with Miranda and Cindy¡¯s sadness, but you tend to get lonely easily so don¡¯t overdo it, ok?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not lonely or anything¡­ I¡¯m just crying because of the alcohol.¡± I wasn¡¯t happy in the slightest to be called a lonely person, but when I refuted his words, Luca just giggled. ¡°Zagan is being an adorable tsuntsun.¡± I¡¯m not a tsuntsun either. But I had a feeling that no matter how much I tried to deny it, Luca was just going to say that everything was cute, so I kept my mouth shut. Instead, I butted my head into his shoulder in a silent protest. ¡°Ah, I can¡¯t. You¡¯re too cute. I love you, Zagan.¡± So that didn¡¯t work either, huh? It actually made him happy instead. Me too¡­ I love Luca. Unsatisfied, I raised my head while still pouting and was kissed on the lips. The lips that touched mine were soft and felt good, but they were gone after a couple of seconds. It wasn¡¯t enough, so I stared at the blue eyes that were close to mine and he stared back at me. Even without talking, I could feel the love from him and his overflowing desire. ¡°Shall we have sex?¡± ¡°¡­Yes.¡± When I nodded my head at that husky, sensual whisper, he gave me a bewitchingly sweet smile and grabbed my butt. The next morning, Luca and I exited the tent together. The girls were already awake. ¡°Ah, good morning, nii-sama, Luca.¡± ¡°Morning, Noel.¡± ¡°Morning. Good morning everyone.¡± I said good morning to everyone and sat down in the spot that had been prepared for me. ¡°Good morning, Luca-san, Zagan-san. You drank a considerable amount yesterday so I made you some basket clam soup.¡± ¡°That would be great. Thank you for thinking about us.¡± ¡°Thanks, Bennett. I¡¯ll have some right away.¡± ¡°There you go. I¡¯ve decided to cook whatever Noel-san and the others want for breakfast, so please wait a bit until it¡¯s ready.¡± Bennett smiled cheerfully and went back to where the magic stove was. Standing in front of the stove was Noel, who was learning how to cook, and, strangely enough, Miranda as well. Nina was watching them work from the other side of the stove and Camilla and Cindy were also talking nearby. The girls got along extremely well, as always. For some reason though, I got the feeling that they¡¯d gotten even closer after yesterday. ¡°It looks like they talked things out last night. Miranda looks refreshed, like she got a load off her shoulders, and I feel like Bennett is a lot more reliable than she was before.¡± (Luca) I see, so it felt like they¡¯d gotten closer because that anxious atmosphere surrounding Bennett had disappeared? Now that I think about it, she didn¡¯t stutter at all in the conversation we just had. Maybe she got a push from Miranda last night ¨C to be more confident. If the friend that Miranda wanted to protect¡­ the friend that she put her trust in kept being weak, then in the end, when it came time to say goodbye, she¡¯d regret the fact that she wasn¡¯t reliable enough. The words of Miranda, who was a strong¡ªyet at the same time sensitive¡ªwoman, must have penetrated deep into Bennett¡¯s heart who was weak as a result of her body complex. Well, I don¡¯t plan on prying into the girls¡¯ private conversation, so I don¡¯t actually know what happened, but it was clear that they¡¯d become a lot more reliable than before. After looking at my friends who were having fun cooking in the morning, I took a sip of my steaming soup. December 19th ¨C nine days since we entered the dungeon. It felt like we were moving along smoothly, but my main reason for joining Luca and the others this time around was to meet the middle-aged man. We still hadn¡¯t met him though and I was starting to get impatient. No, we¡¯re definitely supposed to meet him. Luca and the others met glasses guy and Sophie in October and November exactly like in those scenarios. However, as I, an irregularity, was here now, it wasn¡¯t impossible that we¡¯d strayed from the Akashic records. If we don¡¯t meet him though, it¡¯ll be hard to save the people of the Dark Organization. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Zagan?¡± Luca looked at me with a worried expression. Perhaps because I looked down. Even if I were to tell him it was nothing, Luca could read me just by looking into my eyes, so he¡¯d know it was a lie. Still, I didn¡¯t plan on saying things that would make me look crazy like ¨C ¡°I¡¯m worried because, according to the game scenario, we¡¯re supposed to meet a man here.¡± Of course, the reason I improved the magic barrier was to protect the Dark Organization. However, as I explained to Luca before, I¡¯d originally made the improvements in the hopes of protecting the capital as much as possible. My objective only changed after having that conversation with Cindy in November. Luca stared at me when I had a hard time answering him, his brows furrowed as if he too was troubled. Afterward, he gave me a gentle smile. ¡°It¡¯s ok. Zagan¡¯s worries will definitely go away soon. So don¡¯t worry, ok?¡± He lifted our intertwined hands and pressed his lips to the back of my hand. I was grateful that he didn¡¯t question my unresponsive self and instead offered me encouraging words even though he didn¡¯t know what was wrong. Was it thanks to the power of those words that, an hour later, the middle-aged man finally appeared? It happened unexpectedly in a beautiful and austere space that almost looked like a cathedral. It was rare to encounter people inside the spacious dungeon. Furthermore, not that many people could go into the 12th dungeon in the first place. To meet the middle-aged man despite that just goes to show how strong the compulsion of the Akashic records truly was. As per the scenario, the man had seven companions with him, all of whom stood still, either shocked or frozen. Perhaps because it was already the third time they¡¯d encountered the Dark Organization, Miranda grabbed her axe lightly as if to protect us. Now then, in the scenario, the man said some harsh and unpleasant words, and then a fight broke out, but¡­ that didn¡¯t look like it was going to happen. I didn¡¯t know what kind of change of heart he¡¯d had, but it didn¡¯t feel like the man was looking down at the others anymore. He didn¡¯t make any snide remarks either. In the game, the Dark Organization was the middle boss in the 10th to 12th dungeons. But the encounter in the 10th dungeon ended with the creepy glasses guy confessing to Cindy, and in the 11th dungeon, Miranda and Sophie had a civilised conversation. By the way, in the game when they encounter glasses guy, if he has affection towards Cindy, he doesn¡¯t show any hostility towards her because she¡¯s not a dark attribute user. However, as that was actually part of the Cindy route, he does show animosity towards the protagonist who is his love rival and in the end, a battle ensues. In reality though, Luca was in love with me, so glasses guy didn¡¯t turn violent and it all ended peacefully. As for Sophie¡¯s fight, it all went well because Miranda was calm about it. It was also possible that Sophie had changed, but I didn¡¯t know about that. And now, the middle-aged man¡¯s face was distorted as he looked at me. His expression was filled with a sense of hopelessness, so I let go of the hand holding Luca¡¯s and went to stand in front of Miranda. In an instant, the seven companions drew their weapons and surrounded me. They all looked familiar. They were the ones who took off their hoods the first time I met the Dark Organization in the 6th dungeon. I took a step closer and they only grew more wary. The man, however, only looked at me. I never took my eyes off him either. I stopped walking when I was close enough for him to hear me. ¡°It¡¯s been a while. I¡¯m going to get straight to the point ¨C let¡¯s, you and I, have a face-to-face conversation.¡± CH 72.1 So far, I have faced the Dark Organisation twice. In June, I rejected their invitation to revive the Evil God and destroy the Soleil Kingdom together. In September, they summoned five dark dragons in order to assuredly steal the star fragments from me. After we subjugated the dragons, I ended up having to hand over the star fragments because Noel and the others were taken hostage, but¡­ even then, I was opposed to the opinion of the guy from the Dark Organisation that other attributes should be killed. I had turned them down twice, so it could not be helped if they refused to meet if we tried to approach them now. That was what I thought. ¡°Huh!? Isn¡¯t it obvious it¡¯s not good!? There¡¯s no way I can leave Zagan alone with that pervert!¡± (Luca) Not expecting objections to come flying from behind me, my thoughts almost stopped. Moreover, the reasoning was terrible. Well, it was not like I couldn¡¯t understand Luca¡¯s feelings of not wanting me to be alone with him. After all, he once said he would not mind humiliating me. Although he did immediately self-implode right after.1 While I was frozen by the unexpected turn of events, Luca was stopped by Miranda when he tried to come to me, and I even heard him being poked. ¡°Ow- Ouch©¤ Camilla, it hurts©¤¡± (Luca) ¡°Can you not read the air, you fool!?¡± (Camilla) Although my friends were helping by warning Luca, the solemn and beautiful space, as well as the overall tension in the surrounding area had already been ruined. I would like to vehemently agree with Nina¡¯s ¡°Oh dear¡± remark. Even the Dark Organisation¡¯s side had a weird atmosphere, with the middle-aged man rubbing his brow like he was tired and the other seven looking either astonished or confused. Can I just ignore Luca¡¯s objection and proceed with our talk? Or should I persuade Luca first? While I silently considered my options, I suddenly heard the loud sound of hands clapping. ¡°If you¡¯re going to have a talk anyway, why don¡¯t we take a break?¡± (Cindy) ¡°Then, I¡¯ll make tea for everyone.¡± (Bennett) Bennett immediately agreed to Cindy¡¯s suggestion. That¡¯s right, we should first change this delicate atmosphere. ¡°Then I¡¯ll set the table!¡± (Noel) Noel¡¯s follow-up completely led to the flow of taking a break so I decided to go back to Luca¡¯s side for the moment. Before I could even turn around, tentacles wrapped around my hips and limbs and I was pulled backwards. Once I landed in Luca¡¯s arms with a light thump, he hugged me and rubbed his cheek onto my head. ¡°Geez, why does Zagan have to decide things all on his own!? It¡¯s cool, though!¡± (Luca) It seemed that he had mixed feelings about it. I felt bad for deciding things on my own as Luca said, but it could not be helped because the timing was off. I mean, it¡¯s not like I can tell him something as weird as ¡°We¡¯ll bump into the middle-aged man in the dungeon, so let me talk to him in private,¡± beforehand. On the other hand, in a situation where we were confronting a hostile person, it would also be impossible to make them wait just so I could consult my team members. Luca understood my actions, and that was why he said it was ¡®cool¡¯. ¡°Luca, I¡¯m happy you were concerned about me. I appreciate it.¡± When I expressed my thanks with all my heart, Luca groaned even more before further burying his face into my hair. While being held by Luca who still had conflicted thoughts, my friends had finished preparing tea. The Dark Organisation members were made to sit down in their seats by the fearless Cindy and then they wondered whether or not to drink the tea Bennett made. I would recommend they drink it before Miranda used intimidation on them, though. Luca sat down too, but as expected, with me still in his arms. ¡°He¡¯s the main culprit who summoned five dragons to try and kill Zagan, you know? What¡¯s more, he¡¯s a pervert who says something as ridiculous as trying to ¡®humiliate¡¯ my Zagan. If you had a private conversation with a vermin like that, Zagan would be soiled.¡± I do not have that soft of a spirit to be easily defiled by something of that degree, not to mention that the reason he spewed out words of humiliation was that he was unable to forgive me for not joining them despite being the same dark attribute, so he wanted to inflict as much¡ªor just any¡ªdamage as he could to me. The fact that he was not serious was revealed by his self-implosion shortly afterwards. Luca was worrying too much to the point of being overprotective so should I ask him if I was really that unreliable? Right as I thought that¡ª ¡°Because of him, Zagan almost died. Because of¡­ him¡­¡± Luca¡¯s low and heavy voice that dripped with anger made it impossible to say anything. Right. That makes sense. Although it was partly my fault for being weak, if the Dark Organisation had not incited the dragons in the first place, I would not have run out of mana. The culprit who tried to kill me. From Luca¡¯s point of view, he would naturally not like the idea of me being alone with such a person. If I were in his position, I too would endlessly think about how to assassinate him. Though I would not do it. I, by the way, held no grudge against the Dark Organisation. How could I, who had the same attribute as them, begrudge them for struggling to stand up against the unreasonable and cruel circumstances of discrimination in their own way? ¡°Luca, we won¡¯t be speaking for long, and I don¡¯t mind if you keep your tentacles wrapped around my waist. So could you be patient and wait?¡± I would not tell him to calm his anger down, because, to Luca, the other side had committed a grave injustice. However, giving that guy the magic barrier was a necessary process to save the lives of 100 people. So that was why I wanted Luca to be patient for a while. As I stared intently at him, Luca exhaled deeply to calm himself, although his expression was distorted in agony. ¡°I get it. But if I sense anything strange, I¡¯m immediately pulling you back.¡± He kissed me on the head. Then on my cheeks and lips. He set me down right after, so I also planted a kiss on Luca¡¯s head. Luca, who held his emotions back and smiled, was very dear. ¡°I¡¯ll be going then.¡± ¡°Yeah, take care.¡± I nodded and quickly looked around as I turned my back to Luca. The dark attribute fellows who were being forced to sit down without question were completely in a relaxed mood and were digging into the sweets Bennett made while being watched over by my friends. Some even approached Camilla, who was doing her alchemy work, and started talking to her. There may be no barriers in areas of interest. As for the person of interest, he was sitting alone at a table set up at a distance, drinking tea. If it was over there, we would not be heard by the others. On my way there, I met up with Noel, who held a teapot. While she was at it, she even pulled at Luca¡¯s tentacle so that it would not get stuck anywhere. She was a good little sister, as always. ¡°Apologies, I made you wait.¡± (Zagan) After I called out and sat down across from him, Noel served me a cup of tea. She bowed her head and immediately returned to where Luca and the others were. This was tea poured by Noel, so I should drink it first and foremost. Thinking that way, I blew on my drink to cool it down first before bringing the cup to my lips when the man who had been silently watching let out a sigh. ¡°It¡¯s stunningly jet black.¡± Come to think of it, he said something like that when we first met. ¡°Your hair must be darker than mine, after all¡±.2 I could not answer him then because I had no intention of revealing my hair at the time, but now that I was exposing it myself, it might seem unreasonable from his point of view. ¡°It¡¯s the hair my mother feared to be that of the Evil God themselves, thus abandoning me as a child.¡± (Zagan) ¡°¡­¡­Even to someone like me who has the same attribute, it¡¯s a colour that feels dangerous to be kept on hand. Even if I had made you our comrade, I don¡¯t think I could have kept you in control.¡± The reason I showed hesitation in giving a response was probably because I unconsciously tried to offer words of comfort. He was basically a kind person to those with dark attributes. But I was his enemy, so I switched to sarcasm. In fact, what this man said was correct. My original self who was once their comrade was uncontrollable because I had been too strong as well as arrogant, so they had no choice but to summon five dragons to kill me. Also, if I had been in contact with the Dark Organisation from the beginning, I would have continually told them to not take the lives of other attributes or to stop trying to take revenge on the country. If they had tried to do those things anyway, I would have used force to get in their way. As for me, I regretted that I should have done so. ¡°Revealing my hair was the result of considering how to eliminate discrimination in my own way. It may seem like a foolhardy and reckless way to go about things on my own, but with Luca by my side, it¡¯s definitely possible.¡± ¡°Well¡­ Prince Luca is an amazing person.¡± To think this man would give compliments to other attributes! I looked at the middle-aged man in surprise and he sighed again. ¡°He is someone who cut off the arm of a woman who discriminated against dark attributes and tried to execute her, after all. He even cursed the knights for being incompetent and unable to judge right from wrong. Not to mention, he is serious about loving Zagan-dono, who has the dark attribute and hair colour that even I hesitate to interact with, so of course I have no choice but to admit he is different from the other attributes around.¡± ¡°Even now he is glaring at me, full of bloodlust,¡± said the old man tiredly. He seemed to be exhausted from constantly receiving Luca¡¯s killing intent. Should I turn around and reproach Luca? ¡­No, the moment I turn my head, he would misunderstand and think there was a problem before making his bloodlust stronger or pulling me back using his tentacles, so I would not. ¡°Luca is indeed a great man. After all, he was able to love me¡ªsomeone with the dark attribute that has been considered evil and discriminated against for hundreds of years, not to mention my jet-black hair¡ªwithout prejudice. And because he is a prince, the issue of discrimination against dark attributes has been raised in national newspapers. A mother who gave birth to a baby with the dark attribute even thanked me.¡± ¡°I know. To make sure I don¡¯t miss any information, I always read the newspapers whenever I visit a city. I received a report about a dark attribute child from one of our people who scouted the city. They also said they didn¡¯t kidnap the child because their parents loved them and seemed like they would raise them.¡± So that was how it was. In other words, in the game¡¯s setting, the baby that the woman carried would have been taken under the Dark Organisation¡¯s protection. It was unclear whether they took the baby after killing the mother or she transferred the baby to them after they talked and both parties agreed¡­ but I hope it was the latter. ¡°Geez. First, there¡¯s you saying that you will protect everyone regardless of their attributes, then there¡¯s Eloi who said he proposed to the bespectacled lady, and now even Sophie said she became friends with that girl using the axe. Why do things that shake my resolve keep happening one after another?¡± So that was the reason the man¡¯s condescending attitude had disappeared. It was because he could no longer wholeheartedly hate the other attributes like before. What¡¯s more, since it was their main force¡¯s glasses guy and Sophie, who were saying they were getting married or had become friends with people from other attributes, he would definitely be at his wit¡¯s end. CH 72.2 ¡°How about you stop trying to destroy the country altogether and hand over the demonic essence you¡¯ve collected?¡± (Zagan) Maybe now he would be willing to listen to me. That was what I thought, so I tried making the suggestion I had given up on before. Goddess Lune should be resurrected by me. That way, the destruction of the royal capital could be kept to a minimum, and even if something went wrong, I would definitely use the magic barrier so there is no way I would die. In response to my suggestion, the man glared at me with his eyebrow raised as if in distress. ¡°From the moment you asked to speak face to face, I had an inkling that you would try to persuade me. However, my resolve shall not waver. No matter how much you people have tried to eliminate discrimination, it¡¯s already too late. The hatred of being persecuted just for having the dark attribute and the sorrow, pain, and anger of those who have been murdered will never go away. No matter how much you try to persuade me, I will definitely destroy this country.¡± As expected, after considering the countless lives that have been discriminated against and killed throughout the past several hundred years, there was no way the revolution could be stopped just because he approved of a small number of people with other attributes. ¡°There¡¯s no use even if you kill me. I¡¯ve already used the Star Fragments, and the magic bag containing the demonic essence is not on my person.¡± ¡°Rest assured. Not once have I ever killed a person, nor do I intend to, going forward.¡± ¡°¡­Although you have the same dark attribute as we do, you are fundamentally different, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s thanks to my father who loved me. I left home before I was ten years old, but until I left, he protected me by making sure that no one would notice me and even worried about me until we separated.¡± ¡°Thus, why you never harboured hatred to the point of wanting to kill someone. How envious.¡± His tone was mocking, but was it directed at me? Or toward himself? Taking someone else¡¯s life is honestly really easy. I, for one, can cut off a head just by swinging my dagger. But the responsibility that must be shouldered for that one moment is much too heavy. The grief and rage surrounding the person who robbed a life of their remaining days¡ªI have never harboured hatred so strong that I can kill others while still shouldering that burden. ¡°However, that¡¯s why I can rationally make a decision. Even if you revive the Evil God and destroy the country, you¡¯re just making the cycle of revenge continue. The more you kill, the more the dark attribute will be hated and discriminated against. That¡¯s why, I will definitely thwart your ambitions.¡± It does not matter if the overflowing hatred will not stop pouring in. We will stop it for you in exchange for all of you not piling on any more sins than you already have. So that you can atone for your sins and happily live in this country that one day will no longer discriminate against dark attributes. To fulfil my original purpose, I took out the improved magic barriers from within my magic bag. Six discs, remote controls, as well as an instruction manual. It was too big to place on the table, so I put them all together and handed them over to the man. ¡°Take this.¡± ¡°? ¡­What is this?¡± ¡°Magic barriers and the manual. You¡¯re going to forcefully wake up the Evil God that has been naturally resurrected up till now, so there¡¯s no way of knowing what problems will occur. If you try to control it, you might die from mana depletion. If you deem that it¡¯s dangerous, spread this barrier out as much as you can and cut off your flow of mana.¡± When I gave a simple explanation, the man accepted it despite the deep furrow of his brows. ¡°Why would you give me this thing? Using control magic on an evil god could certainly cause mana depletion. But keeping us alive doesn¡¯t benefit you.¡± ¡°I said it before. To me, you guys are also existences that should be protected.¡± As soon as I said so, his eyes widened while he stared at the magic barrier. His lips trembled as if he tried to say something quickly but then hung his head without saying anything. As I observed him, the guy placed his hand over his eyes and let out a big sigh. A few seconds later, he raised his head. ¡°¡­That particular side of you seriously ticks me off.¡± He sounded like he was about to cry, and his expression was distorted as if he was trying to ridicule me but failed. It would be tactless of me to point it out, so I merely nodded. When I brought the cooled tea to my lips without replying, the man finally put the magic barriers into his magic bag after letting out several more sighs. Then he slowly stood up. ¡°As our conversation seems to have ended, we will now take our leave. Thank you for the delicious tea and cake.¡± ¡°Similarly, I appreciate your willingness to comply with the discussion. There¡¯s also one last thing I would like to ask. What¡¯s your name?¡± I asked because it felt weird to keep thinking of him as ¡®the middle-aged man¡¯, but the man raised his eyebrow in dismay. ¡°You¡¯re asking me that now? Well, the fault lies in me for not giving my name till now, so that¡¯s fine. ¡­My name is Klage.¡± ¡°Klage, huh? I¡¯ll remember it.¡± Perhaps because he left his seat, the dark attribute members who were talking with my friends gathered around him. I thought it would be strange to see him off while seated, so I stood up as well. The moment I did, a tentacle wrapped around me and lifted me up. I obediently stayed still and then with a thump once again, I settled right into Luca¡¯s arms. ¡°Good work, Zagan. Was everything fine? Were you told anything weird?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine, there was no problem.¡± ¡°I see, that¡¯s good. That¡¯s seriously good. I love you, Zagan.¡± After Luca happily rubbed his cheek against me, he planted kisses all over my face. I could feel the Dark Organisation members staring hard, but I gave them no mind. While I mindlessly received Luca¡¯s love, Noel and the others returned after sending the Dark Organisation members off. ¡°Luca, we sent them off.¡± (Noel) ¡°Thanks, and sorry for leaving it to you. Everyone else too, good job. I¡¯m sure you¡¯re all tired from being so tense. Let¡¯s rest for a while before we depart.¡± ¡°Appreciate it. I¡¯m super tired¡­¡± (Nina) Nina responded with a worn-out look. Even for someone who was being attentive, she looked too tired. I wonder what happened? My friends also seemed to have their own doubts so they approached Nina. ¡°What happened, Nina-san?¡± (Bennett) ¡°It does not seem like they said anything to you, since you stood quite a distance away.¡± (Camilla) ¡°Ahh, yeah. It¡¯s nothing. I just feel kinda tired.¡± (Nina) It seemed she didn¡¯t want to talk about it. If it were me, I would choose to keep quiet and wait, but of course, the girls were different. ¡°Nina, you shouldn¡¯t keep it bottled up inside like that! You promised before!¡± (Noel) ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll be kind to you, so puke it all out!¡± (Miranda) They were trying very hard to make her spit it out no matter what while holding both of her hands and stroking her back. Perhaps due to being surrounded by our serious friends, Nina opened her mouth in dismay. ¡°Uhm, it¡¯s not really a big deal¡­ I was just thinking, if only they had kidnapped my brother when he was a newborn, I could have probably reunited with him and had tea with him today and my mother might have still been alive. These thoughts kept running through my head, and I knew it wasn¡¯t their fault, but I wanted to blame them for not saving my brother. I was desperately trying to suppress the urge to scream¡­ Ahh, geez, I¡¯m seriously no good!¡± Noel immediately hugged Nina, who had raised her voice in a shout, followed by Miranda and Bennett. ¡°Good, well said! All you have to do is spit out the bad things.¡± (Miranda) ¡°I¡¯ll forever be by your side from now on, so everything will be okay, Nina.¡± (Noel) ¡°I¡¯ll accept as much of my beloved Nina-san¡¯s worries as I can!¡± (Bennett) ¡°Ahh, geez! Everyone is so kind! I love you all!!¡± (Nina) When Nina hugged them back with a shout, bright laughter could be heard from the girls. I was relieved that the matter was resolved without it becoming a big problem. As I watched Noel and the others hugging each other tightly, Camilla and Cindy approached me. ¡°How was it on your side, Zagan? It was fortunate that we met them here, but do you think we were able to prevent them from running out of mana?¡± (Camilla) ¡°Time-wise, you couldn¡¯t have explained about the gods, right? We need them to resurrect the Evil God for us to save the gods, but it pains me to think that we need to make use of their wrath. It¡¯s also dangerous¡­ I wonder if I should have handed over the MP potion that Camilla-chan made while I was at it.¡± (Cindy) Indeed, they would have many points of concern. Thus, I explained everything to them in turn. Starting from the fact that Klage also read the newspapers, about glasses guy and Sophie, about how it felt like I could persuade him to hand over the demonic essence too, but got rejected, and finally, about the handover of the modified magic barrier that might be needed in the royal capital since he did not have a change of heart about trying to resurrect the Evil God. ¡°He is the leader of the Dark Organisation and cherishes his dark attribute comrades. Therefore, even if it were charity from the opposition, he would use it without hesitation if his comrades are in danger. As for the MP potion, there is a high possibility that it would get consumed for the sake of gathering demonic essence so I think it¡¯s good that Cindy kept it.¡± (Zagan) ¡°Hmm. Despite knowing that discrimination is gradually decreasing, it did not overturn his intention to revive the Evil God. If so, it would probably not have made any difference even if you told him about the gods.¡± (Cindy) ¡°Yeah, so there¡¯s no need for Cindy to feel bad about it. Besides, once we reach the royal capital, we¡¯ll do our best to take you to the Dark Organisation. You don¡¯t mind, right Luca?¡± (Zagan) When I confirmed things with Luca, he smiled at me. ¡°Of course. Protecting the people of Soleil is the royal family¡¯s duty, so I won¡¯t let them die. It¡¯s still unforgivable that they tried to kill Zagan though, so I¡¯ll make sure they properly apologise after everything is over. To that end, I need them to stay alive.¡± ¡°Zagan-kun¡­ Luca-kun¡­ Thank you.¡± (Cindy) It is too early to say thank you. We still do not know what will happen. But for the time being, I have handed over the magic barriers. I was also able to warn them about the danger of mana depletion, so it is excellent in terms of results. In the game, the Dark Organisation members would definitely have died. However, I myself had overcome my predetermined death. I have done everything I could have done, which is why their future should be able to change too. I have no choice but to believe in that and keep moving forward toward the end.
