Episode 18: My Second Father
“What kind of person is your father?”
“Papa is a strong person, and also strict.”
Listening to Reina’s story, it seems that Zeke Sylphid was the one who taught her KOG. From a young age, she learned academics, martial arts, and then, immediately after turning fifteen, she was taught KOG.
Thanks to that, Reina is at the strongest level among her peers.
That’s why, even though this is the front line, I didn’t think there would be anyone stronger than Reina on this island nation.
“So, that’s why I was targeted, huh? Still, I’m being stared at.”
When Reina and I walk together, we get a lot of stares from the First-Class Earthgards citizens. They look back and forth between Reina and Kenyya with lewd smirks.
“That’s right. They might think of you as a servant for sexual purposes.”
“Huh… wait, what did you just say?”
“A servant for sexual purposes.”
“Se-Sexual purposes!?”
That’s a phrase that would be in the top three most unlikely things to come out of Reina’s mouth, “sexual purposes.” Kenyya lets out a bewildered cry at the sudden statement.
“I am a noble of a Baron family, after all. When I’m with a Second-Class citizen of the opposite sex, it’s sometimes seen that way.”
“Ah… I see.”
In the law, even though they are Second-Class or Third-Class, they don’t completely lack human rights. If you kill them, you’ll be charged with a crime, but it’s not a serious one. At best, it’s like a petty theft charge in modern Japan. However, you can use money to do whatever you want.
Because they can’t even eat enough food.
“Does Reina have sexual desires too?”
Then, Reina recalls.
◇Reina’s Past
“Reina, learn to control the three great desires of humans.”
“The three great desires?”
Reina receives training from her father.
“Yes, the three are the desire for sleep, the desire for food, and the desire for sex.”
“The desire for sleep is when you’re sleepy, the desire for food is when you’re hungry, but I don’t really understand the desire for sex.”
“It’s the interest in the opposite sex. However, you won’t feel it for a weak man. It’s the feeling you have for someone stronger than you. That is the desire for sex.”
“Then, is it for Papa?”
“However, family members are excluded. I hope you find someone you can feel that way about someday.”
◇End of Flashback
“Yes, it’s been getting stronger recently.”
“Eh!? I-Is that so…”
(Unexpected… Reina has sexual desires too?)
Kenyya is surprised by the series of bombshell statements. I’m the one who’s embarrassed listening, but Reina doesn’t flinch at all.
“Yes, I feel sexual desire for Kenyya-kun.”
“Wha!?”
“Ah, we’ve arrived. This is my house.”
“Huh? Wait, what? Is that it?”
“?…Yes. Let’s go inside for now. I’ll go call my father.”
“Y-Yes.”
As if nothing had happened, while misunderstanding each other, Kenyya, feeling aroused, takes a step into Reina’s house. The house is a mansion. If it were in the modern world, it would be worth hundreds of millions of yen. A beautiful garden and a huge palace-like mansion stood there.
More than that, Kenyya, who is feeling aroused, is not in a state to think about that, but since Reina doesn’t talk about it anymore, the topic of sexual desire is over.
I’m led to a room with a long table that I’ve only seen on TV and made to sit down.
“Well then, please wait here.”
Reina went to call her father. Even though it’s a mansion, it doesn’t seem like there are any maids.
I think she said he was a Baron, but a Baron is the lowest rank, so is that how it is?
While I’m waiting, fidgeting a bit, the door opens.
“You’ve done well, Mitsurugi.”
The person who appeared was the soldier I saw at the entrance ceremony. However, I’ve seen him many times, and I’ve even controlled him as a player. He’s that famous and popular of a character.
“N-Nice to meet you! I’m Kenyu Mitsurugi!”
“Ah, I am Zeke Sylphid. It’s a pleasure.”
And he extends his right hand. I’m being asked for handshakes a lot today. For Kenyya, it’s a natural thing, but I understand that it’s unusual in this world.
(His hand is hard…)
His hand is hard, like that of a warrior.
“Fufu, I see.”
Zeke, who shook Kenyya’s hand, starts laughing.
(These calluses on his hands, it’s like he’s done nothing but KOG.)
“Mitsurugi, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Go ahead and eat.”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes, Reina, please prepare it.”
“Yes.”
Then, Reina leaves the room. Zeke, who saw her off, slams the door shut.
“Now that the nuisance is…”
He turns towards me with a snap, grinning. He directs a passionate gaze at Kenyya and says in a seductive voice.
“Gone.”
“Huh!?”
“Now, come here, fufufu. I’ll let you entertain me. I’m getting excited.”
Zeke, drooling, grabs Kenyya’s arm tightly and tries to take him to another room.
His eyes are like a tiger hunting its prey. Kenyya, grabbed by the sadistic general, is dragged away by force, unable to resist.
(Is this how nobles do things!? Could it be that I’m the target!? Is he going to take me by force!?)
“Now, straddle it.”
(Damn it! Kill me!)
“Come on, what’s wrong? You’re confident in your technique, aren’t you?”
“O-Okay.”
And Kenyya straddled it. On top of the hard… inorganic Simulator.
Yeah, it’s the usual thing, it wasn’t a homoerotic development.
“I didn’t expect you to have one at home, it looks expensive.”
“Ah, I still train so my skills don’t get rusty. Besides, I’m the top of the military in this country, so it’s not a problem.”
The reason Zeke called Kenyya. It’s because he wants to measure Kenyya’s strength with his own power.
His eyes are burning with passion, like a boy who has found a new toy.
“Like father, like daughter…”
I remember the day I was challenged by Reina.
However, today Kenyya is facing a strong person in this world without a doubt.
How far will my power be effective?
“Are you ready, Mitsurugi?”
“Don’t get angry if I defeat you.”
“Fufu, hahaha! No one in the home country has ever talked to me like that! Interesting!”
And the two of them get on, and it begins.
3, 2, 1… Fight!
