Chapter 115
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
After leaving “Hooters,” I decided to head to Ms. Monoka’s orphanage to provide the cold-weather clothes I made along the way.
They’re called “dotera coats” or “tanzens.”
The construction is just cloth and cotton, so even if seen by outsiders, it shouldn’t cause any fuss.
When I arrived at my destination, I didn’t know the exact number of people at the orphanage, so I prepared about ten adult-sized and 30 child-sized ones to hand over to Ms. Monoka, telling her to use them without hesitation, even if they get dirty or torn.
When I had the staff and Nero try them on, the feedback was good; they were very happy and said they could even use the long ones for covering themselves while sleeping.
It seems the common concern is how tough nights are during this season.
Later, when others went to distribute more cold-weather clothes and it was just the two of us, Ms. Monoka leaned closer.
”Um, you won’t be coming back for at least 2 months, right?”
”That’s right.”
”In that case… since we won’t be able to meet for a while, how about we… do something?”
*Sss…squish*
While saying that, she took my hand and pressed it against her chest… but I said that I probably wouldn’t have the time for that between now and tomorrow, so I declined, saying I’d save it for when I got back.
In response to my answer, Ms. Monoka tried to concoct a story about cleaning the apartment like before, but she gave up after I said that the building owner planned to hold a party on-site tonight, so she couldn’t use the same trick.
Well, instead, we did share a rather passionate kiss for a short time in the reception room.
”Um, when you return, I’ll do lots of things for you… so, please make sure to come back, okay?”
Having been whispered such words as I was seen off, I left the orphanage.

Next, I decided to head to the “Silver Orchid Inn” to inform Iris that we would be leaving tomorrow morning.
Inside the “Silver Orchid Inn,” there’s a possibility that Nina, the girl, who accompanied me to check on “Mose’s” skills at Charlotte’s order, might be there.
I became transparent without entering the nano and knocked on Iris’s room window to be let in.
She was armed, ready to move at any moment, but she asked about my business while pretending to remove her weapon.
”Welcome. The fact that you’re here now means… have you decided when to leave the town?”
”Yeah. I was thinking tomorrow morning.”
”Got it. Then…”
Clatter, clatter…
Iris acknowledged my response, but for some reason, she started to take off her armor.
”Are you going to sleep already?”
It was still too early for bed, so I asked, and Iris blushed as she answered.
”Once we leave the town, there won’t be many chances, right? It should be even harder once we get to my home, so… because of that, okay?”
She gave me a heated gaze, but since I was supposed to let her handle the carriage, I didn’t want her to use up her energy unnecessarily.
Even if I secretly gave her the nutritional drink I made, I didn’t want her to notice its high effectiveness, so I preferred not to use it.
Well, there was also the matter of what would happen later, so I declined her invitation, thinking it might interfere with tomorrow.
”But, you know, I think there won’t be *many chances* once we leave the town…”
Iris pressed on after I turned her down, but actually, I felt a bit hesitant about getting more rewards for breaking the curse on her sister with Seria.
So, I said this to put the matter on hold for now.
”Then… once everything is settled and calm, I’ll come visit your room, Iris. Make sure to treat me well then.”
I expected that her family’s security had been strengthened due to her leaving home without permission.
However, confident that I could break through that without any issues, Iris seemed to have calmed her enthusiasm for the time being.
”Got it. But… I’ll keep you company a bit during the break, so if you feel like it at all, make sure to tell me, okay? Mmm♡”
*Kiss*
Saying that, she kissed me, and I left through the window, departing from the “Silver Orchid Inn.”

I finished contacting those who needed it, and I decided to go back to my room to prepare for the farewell party that Ferris is apparently hosting.
It’s not quite evening yet, but I don’t want to keep the person who’s supposed to pick me up waiting.
And when I went up to the 4th floor, where my room is… the “Hooters” woman who had delivered a message last time was standing in front of my room.
She seemed to have noticed my footsteps and was coming towards me, so I approached her and spoke.
”Hello, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”
”No, I just arrived.”
We exchanged words like we were on a date, and I immediately asked about the matter.
”About the *previous matter?*”
I phrased it vaguely because there was a possibility she had come for a completely different reason, but she seemed to have come for that matter, and she correctly understood the intention of the question and answered it.
”Yes. The preparations are already complete.”
”Understood. Uh… well, I’ll tell Mr. Mose.”
I said.
As it’s a farewell party, the one invited to this event is “Koji (me now),” who plans to leave town, but officially, he doesn’t have much contact with Ferris and the others, and isn’t in a position to have a farewell party.
They’re using “Mose,” who is also leaving town, and the farewell party is supposed to be for “Mose.”
”Mose” was supposed to stay a little longer to receive the reward from Dear Princess Charlotte, but that seems to be a bit further off, and he will leave town for now and come back in 2 months.
Receiving my answer, she handed me the key.
”They said no guidance was needed, so here you go. It’s the key to enter Mrs. Wendy’s separate residence on the upper floor, so please be careful with it.”
Because we’re hiding “Mose”‘s true identity, we have to take this kind of action, and as I received the key, she left.
I watched her go, took a breath as I entered my room, and left the room as “Mose” since preparations seemed to have been made when she came to call.
I climbed the stairs, which I usually go down, toward the entrance and immediately noticed a door blocking the back.
A sign simply stated that entry is prohibited for anyone not involved, and for security reasons, it seems they haven’t made it clear that this is Ms. Wendy’s second home.
Since this place isn’t usually used, there’s no one on guard, and it appears they only place someone here to greet visitors when it’s in use.
Today, since Ferris and the others have reserved it, it’s clear that there’s no one on the other side of the door, and it seems no one will come out even if I knock.
So, I unlocked the door, opened it, quickly shut it behind me, and proceeded further inside.
The hallway stretches straight ahead, just like the one on the lower floor.
There are several doors lined up to the side, and from the number of them, it seems there are fewer rooms than on the lower floor.
That means each room probably has a larger area.
For now, I headed to the nearest room and decided to knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock…
Click
”You finally came♪”
The door opened immediately in response to my knock, revealing Ferris in her usual outfit, greeting me with a smile.
’Um, thank you for inviting me today…’
”Stop with that! Come on in. Everyone’s waiting.”
Pulling me in with her usual extraordinary strength, I entered the room, where the active team members were gathered with Ferris.
It seems only those who know “Mose” is “Koji” are present.
Because of that, Ferris instructed me to drop the “Mose” appearance.
”Look, how long are you going to stay like that? The only ones here are girls who know your true identity, so hurry up and go back to being Koji.”
’Y-yeah…’
Looking around the room, it really seemed they were the only ones here, but on a large table, several dishes and drinks were prepared.
The fireplace was already lit, and perhaps because the room was warm, the women weren’t dressed heavily.
Since we borrowed this place for Ms. Wendy’s farewell party, it seems we at least prepared for that.
I thought it wouldn’t be strange if there were some staff members around, and sensing my hesitation, Ms. Anju smiled and responded.
”It’s fine. There were some people preparing at first, but they’ve already gone home.”
’Ah, well then…’
As I returned to “Koji” at her words, Ferris crossed her arms and leaned in close to listen.
”You smell a bit like a woman. Did you pick someone up somewhere?”
Her tone was somewhat accusatory, but that was probably because she had confessed to me.
It seemed like she wanted to say that if I were going to get involved with another woman, I should come to her instead.
”If you’re going to get involved with another woman, you should come to me instead.”
Ah, she said it.
In response, I made a half-hearted excuse.
”No, I just showed up to leave the town. Well, I did get hugged a bit.”
”Really? You smell a lot like a woman…”
It seemed that a little hugging wouldn’t leave such a scent, and Ferris was suspicious, but perhaps because she was mindful of the time, she didn’t press the issue.
”Well, whatever. Time is precious.”
Saying that, she had me sit at the table, and we started with the meal.
”You’re going to use a lot of energy later, right?♡”
”Later, you say?”
I shouldn’t know about “later”──curious, I asked, and she smirked and answered.
”You know, right? You’re going to be putting your d*ck into every woman here♡”
”Huh…?”
Ferris, who was already in a physical relationship and brimming with desire, was fine, but I was concerned about the other members.
I was told by Ferris that they might be participating reluctantly to ensure I return to this town.
Ms. Sheila, who uses a bow, had previously mentioned she would be accepting, but magician Taia and shield bearer Ms. Luka looked tense.
Additionally, Cleric Ms. Anju is technically an outsider belonging to the church, so her participation in this event might cause trouble later if she feels unwilling about it.
We first need to confirm that point.
”About that ‘later’… is *everyone* participating?”
Hearing that, Ferris replies while eating meat like a steak.
”Of course! With the mission of ‘Silver Orchid’ in mind, if we force participation and it leaks to the outside, it would be a hassle.”
Since ‘Silver Orchid’ protects women targeted by men, if the representative sets women up for men, their reputation would seriously suffer.
If that happens, Ferris and Charlotte would find it difficult to operate as ‘Silver Orchid’, and a reduction in manpower would neglect monitoring the Norland family, which aims for the throne of this country.
Following Ferris, who says they weren’t forced to join, Ms. Anju also expresses her willingness to participate while smiling.
”Please rest assured. If you didn’t act on the Gem Snake issue, everyone, including me, would have suffered. Thinking of that makes me want to convey my gratitude to you wholeheartedly♪”
*Squeeze…*
Saying that, she lifts her chest with her arm, emphasizing what was under her usual robe.
Personally, I’ve always had the image of Clerics being strict about sexual desires, but according to Seria, there seem to be no such restrictions.
While focusing on Ms. Anju, who is making such an appeal, Ms. Sheila then starts talking.
”I feel the same. Like I said before, feel free to go for it. It’s not like it’s your first time, right?”
*Clutter!*
She says that and undresses, revealing her upper body in her underwear.
*Squee, squee!*
”Should I keep this? There are guys who want to strip it off themselves, right?”
Ms. Sheila, pinching the bra-like underwear and playfully lifting it, asks me.
With a practiced air… it seems like she doesn’t need to be so cautious, just as she said.
Then, turning to Ms. Luka and Taia, I respond, “Well, that can wait.”
””Huh!?””
*Squish*
These 2 were the ones I was worried about.
Ever since entering this room, their nervousness was plain to see, so I wanted to make sure their participation in this event was of their own volition.
Upon receiving my gaze, Ms. Luka is the first to speak to me.
”I… had thought about it someday, and I was hoping for a good partner. Well, I was also stressed out from being expected to act manly by my family.”
Moreover, she needed to present a masculine demeanor in the face of external threats, so her desire to be wanted as a woman must have been strong.
”So, with you… I can just be ‘a woman’ again, and…”
I don’t know what caused it, but for her, who doesn’t have a sufficiently large chest and doesn’t think like a man, that stress must have been immense.
With that, I understand, and Taia takes action.
*Thud, tap-tap-tap… tap-tap*
”…”
Suddenly standing up, she comes over to my side with those legs, and for a while, she just stares at me in silence.
She seems to be pondering what to say, opening and closing her mouth without speaking.
”…”
”…”
As we continue to gaze silently at each other… it seems Taia has gathered her thoughts and makes a declaration.
”I like you. Make me yours.”
After finally blurting out those simple words, she takes hold of my shoulder and comes in for a kiss.
”Mmph”
”Mmm…”
If it’s as Taia declared, then as someone with no intention of dating, I should avoid her, but almost simultaneously, I’m grabbed by the head from behind and held in place.
Of course, the culprit is Ferris.
As a result, I end up accepting the kiss wholeheartedly, and I recall the intentions of the other girl who also confessed.
Come to think of it… Ferris was the one who planned this farewell party, and it was all to make sure I returned to this town.
If that’s the case, she should have expected Taia might confess, and probably told her I was the one confessing.
Then Taia would know I have no plans for a lover, so there shouldn’t be a problem, right?
While I’m thinking that, Taia’s tongue invades my mouth, and at the same time, something is grabbed from behind.
”Now, let’s have fun♡”
Ferris whispers, and I decide, well, it’s fine, and let myself go.
