“Alright then, I’m gonna announce it real quick!”
“Uoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”
With the Hydra subjugation complete, we returned to Higashi no Higashi Village and decided to promptly announce the MVP for this Hydra battle.
“For the MVP, they’ll get the Hydra’s immortal head, and I’ll grant them any wish they desire!”
“Uoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”
“However, it has to be within my power to grant.”
“Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”
“Silence!”
As I clapped my hands, the booing subsided, and the half-naked adventurers looked at me with expectant gazes. It’s kinda embarrassing.
“To ensure fairness, I asked the Guildmaster to choose the MVP. Actually, I don’t know who it is yet either. Oh…?”
When I unrolled the parchment I held in one hand, a party name that seemed quite reasonable was written on it.
“Now, for the announcement! The glorious MVP party is… Congratulations, it’s ‘Crimson Vow’!”
“Kyaaa!”
“Noooo!”
The moment I said that, girls’ high-pitched cheers and men’s deep cries of dismay echoed.
“Well, that figures. You girls did great!”
“Yeah! That final blow was amazing!”
“Congrats!”
I was wary that some adventurers might complain, but they were surprisingly gracious about it. While looking disappointed, they congratulated the members of ‘Crimson Vow’.
“‘Crimson Vow’ members, step forward.”
“Is it really us?!”
“We did it!”
“Of course!”
Chattering excitedly, the members of ‘Crimson Vow’ appeared before me. They weren’t injured, but their equipment was broken, and they were stained with blood and mud. It spoke of the fierce battle against the Hydra. They even seemed to be proud of their rather grimy appearance.
Their figures, like that, seemed dazzlingly beautiful to me.
“Congratulations, ‘Crimson Vow’. You shall receive the Hydra’s immortal head and, as an additional prize, I will grant any wish you have. Is there anything you desire?”
“A wish…”
Well, it’s not like a wish will come to mind immediately if you’re suddenly asked what you want.
“I’ll ask for your individual wishes later. First, about the Hydra’s head… What’s wrong, Thea? Do you have a question?”
Thea, the healer of ‘Crimson Vow’, timidly raised her hand while keeping her face downcast. Is something the matter?
“Lord-sama?”
“What is it?”
“Um, is it really okay for the wish to be anything?”
“Yes, as long as it’s a wish I can grant. I won’t call it disrespectful or anything, so if you have something in mind, speak up.”
“Then! Could I possibly… speeeeeend a night with you…?!?”
“Eh…?”
“Thea-chan!?”
What is she saying?
“Lord-sama, you saved my life. I desperately want to repay you for that! However, I possess nothing that Lord-sama might desire. Therefore, um… though it’s embarrassing, my body…”
“…though it’s meager…” So saying, Thea looked down again.
………Seriously?
“No way, Thea-chan…”
“Our idol…”
“Thea-chan! Please reconsider!”
“But, if it’s what Thea-chan has decided…”
Is this girl Thea some kind of idol to the adventurers? Many of them are clutching their heads and crying out.
“If that’s the case, then I too desire a night with Lord-sama!”
“Eh?”
What’s gotten into her? Even Zasha, the leader of ‘Crimson Vow’, started saying such things. What is she thinking?
“No way!? Zasha-chan too!?”
“Zasha-chan, it’s me! Marry me!”
“Please reconsider!”
“Shut up, shut up! I get to sleep with a thirteen-year-old noble-sama, you know!? There’s no way I’d miss a chance like this!”
“Zasha-chan, ehh…”
“Sleep with me too!”
“There’s no way I’d sleep with some grubby adventurer! Look, look at Lord-sama’s slender nape! The transitional period where a boy becomes a man! There’s a unique beauty there!”
“You were a shotacon!?”
“I’m not a shotacon. I just like beautiful young boys. To be able to legally sleep with a beautiful young noble-sama is like a dream! Dehehe, drool.”
“Uwah…”
Zasha has the appearance of a dignified female knight, and yet… her personality is like this…
“Well then, perhaps I’ll also wish for a night with Lord-sama. I’ve always been interested in the noble blood of aristocrats. I’ll start by researching his sperm.”
“”Then, me too!””
Even Sophie the mage and the twin scouts, Zuzana and Susane, started saying such things.
“No, no, no, I certainly said you could ask for anything, but this is really…”
“Lord-sama? You said you’d grant it if it’s something you can do, right? You’re already thirteen, so you’ve experienced your first ejaculation, haven’t you? You even have a wife, so it’s not a big deal now, is it?”
For some reason, Sophie started grilling me accusingly.
“There’s no way I can allow that!”
“Ria?”
This might be the end for me. The moment I thought that, Cornelia erupted in a fiery rage.
“I allowed it with Dora, but why should Onii-sama have to deal with you lot who just popped out of nowhere!”
It seems that for Cornelia, this was something she absolutely could not approve of.
Well, that’s true. If a male adventurer demanded Cornelia’s body, I think I’d kill him.
“If I recall, you’re Cornelia-ojousama, aren’t you? Can your Onii-sama not even keep a promise?”
“That’s not it!”
Somehow, it turned into a debate between Cornelia and Sophie.
What should I do…
