Chapter 133 The Man with Ambitions for the Night
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
This is the worst… the worst, worst, worst!!
Why am I at the mercy of a humanoid demon monster?! I am Aristina of the Kelna merchant guild¹! This is impossible…!
Grandfather, a councilor, decided to start doing business with that humanoid demon monster as an equal trading partner. He was convinced it would bring great profit to the Kelna merchant guild.
It’s true that Iris and I were too quick to judge Princess Liliarette’s letter of introduction as a fake.
But! Normally speaking, anyone would be crazy to think that letter was real!
In fact, no one besides Grandfather could determine it was genuine! I am not at fault!
And yet, Grandfather made the decision to marry me off to that humanoid demon monster. No. Absolutely not.
Why won’t Father say anything?! Even Mother…! This is all wrong!
I was brought deep into the Demon Forest² and my clothes were stripped off immediately. Then, I was thrown into a dungeon.
Unforgivable…! To treat me like this…!
I can’t forgive Grandfather either! Both Iris and I were meant to be the consorts of great nobles of the Republic or even the Emperor. I am well aware that I am a woman of much greater value than some common noble daughter.
And yet…! To send the two of us together to that humanoid demon monster of all things…! Is that fruit really worth so much?!
Without any sense of time, I fell asleep before I knew it. Then, a while after I woke up.
Just as I was getting so hungry I thought I’d lose it, Iris arrived. In her hands, she held a plate with food on it.
”……! Iris…!” Aristina said.
”Aris. It’s been a while,” Iris replied.
”Oh, thank goodness…! Iris, has that humanoid demon monster done anything horrible to you?!” Aristina asked.
Iris flashed a smile and shook her head.
”I’m fine. More importantly, you’re hungry, aren’t you? The King of the Magic Labyrinth is away for a while. I took the chance to bring this from the kitchen,” Iris said.
With that, Iris placed the very fragrant plate near the iron bars.
Judging by the size of the plate, it didn’t look like it could fit through the bars.
”I’m sorry… I couldn’t bring a fork,” Iris muttered.
”It’s fine. But what on earth is this dish…?” Aristina asked.
There are vegetables and meats I’ve never seen before on the plate…. And this spicy scent… perhaps because I’m starving, it looks incredibly delicious….
Though hesitating, I grabbed the food with my hands. It was hot, but I endured it and brought it to my mouth.
”……! This…! Salt and pepper…!? And the meat and vegetables are so delicious…!” Aristina said.
”It wasn’t just fruit being grown here. There are many other vegetables, and the taste of all of them is top-tier. But… Aris, until your education is finished, you won’t be able to eat these meals…,” Iris said.
”Eh…?” Aristina asked.
Apparently, Iris was also stripped naked and thrown into the dungeon when she first arrived. She was to receive education from Princess Liliarette here for a while.
And once that education was over, she could go outside. It seems Iris can eat the food made here now.
”Princess Liliarette… so that humanoid demon monster really did kidnap her…! This is a huge problem! I have to get out of here somehow and inform the Emmeld Kingdom³…!” Aristina said.
”I think that would be difficult,” Iris replied.
”Why?!” Aristina asked.
”Princess Liliarette herself, none other, wishes to live here. Also, the Princess’s education is very strict… I’ll teach you some tips so you can get through it well starting now,” Iris said.
”Iris…” Aristina muttered.
Iris must have gone through quite a grueling education herself. She was looking out for me like this so I wouldn’t suffer the same fate. That feeling made me very happy.
And then, the education by Princess Liliarette began immediately.
Indeed, the Princess’s educational guidance was strict. desuwa. For one, I had to call that humanoid demon monster the King of the Magic Labyrinth, and on top of that, I was told to shout love and gratitude every day.
Naturally, I refused all of it.. Because of that, my meals were skipped, but Iris secretly brought me food from the kitchen.
Then, one day after spending many days in the dungeon. Iris brought me food as usual. But she had a gloomy look on her face.
”What’s wrong, Iris?” Aristina asked.
”Soon… the King of the Magic Labyrinth will be coming back,” Iris replied.
”……! That humanoid demon monster…!” Aristina said.
”Yeah. And… it seems he intends to call me to his bedroom…,” Iris whispered.
”Hii…?!” Aristina gasped.
That humanoid demon monster… with Iris…?! Just thinking about Iris, who looked just like myself, being held by that monster made me feel like I was going to throw up everything I had eaten.
Iris and I are twins, but our personalities are very different. Iris is a very kind girl. Surely even if she’s pushed down by that humanoid demon monster, she won’t be able to resist.
Even though she’s been so considerate of me every day since I was brought here…! That Iris… tomorrow…!
”Iris…! Isn’t there some way you can escape…?!” Aristina asked.
”It’s impossible…. But Aris… will you listen to my request…?” Iris asked.
”Yes! What is it?!” Aristina asked.
”The King of the Magic Labyrinth will come to see Aris before he calls me to the bedroom. At that time… could you somehow try to persuade him not to call me to the bedroom…?” Iris asked.

As soon as we returned to the Dominion⁴, we introduced Reika to Cleonora and the others.
Fortunately, the fact that they were both Magical Girls⁵ helped, and I’m glad they became friends quickly, including Iris….
Reika looked around the Dominion with a very curious expression.
While being guided by Cleonora, she would also begin her training as a Magical Girl. Cleonora would be looking after that as well.
Until dinner, I received a report about Aris from Liliarette and Iris.
”I see… that’s quite an interesting plan…,” I said.
”Fufu… yes. I also thought it was interesting when I received the proposal from Iris, desuwa,” Liliarette replied.
”Aris won’t budge an inch regarding things she can’t accept…. I thought this would be the quickest way to make her listen,” Iris said.
I heard that even after receiving Liliarette’s education, Aris-chan is still strongly expressing her will to resist.
Iris, who had anticipated this, had prepared the groundwork to make it easier for her to accept my education by using herself as bait.
”In that case, maybe I’ll head to the dungeon tonight,” I said.
”I believe that would be best, desuwa. I didn’t think she would be such a stubborn girl, but…,” Liliarette added.
I made the right choice leaving Aris-chan’s education to those two…. If I had been involved from the first day, her attitude might have become even more stubborn.
When I checked with Ami-chan, Aris-chan’s Affection Level¹² toward me was indeed minus 100. Just as expected.
I have to bring this to zero first, or the
After hearing more details from Liliarette and Iris, I moved to the area between Ami-chan and the Great Phantasmal Soulstone¹¹. There’s still a bit of time before dinner, so I’ll check on a few things.
”Wow…. You’re able to raise your Quester⁷ level now, nano,” Ami-chan said.
”Really! So many Resource Points⁸! Shall we level up right away? nano,” Ami-chan added.
What should I do…. I checked the current points and the state of the north farm.
”No… if I’m going to do it, I’ll use these points to finish the north farm as it is. In the long run, that’ll allow me to collect more Resource Points, after all,” I said.
”But you’ll need to increase the manpower too, you know? nano,” Ami-chan reminded.
”We’ll need lots of maids to manage the farm. But I have an idea for the Ego Points⁹,” I said.
”Heh~? I wonder if you’re going to lay hands on Aris-chan right away? nano,” Ami-chan teased.
That’s fine too, but. For a while, I’ll have Aris-chan, like Iris, efficiently earn Ego Points for me.
Actually, there are Slave of Love conditions that need to be met while she’s still a virgin….
”After dinner, I plan to go to Aris-chan’s place and just have one session with her…. It’s after that,” I said.
”After that? nano,” Ami-chan asked.
”Yeah. Right now, four Magical Girls are gathered in this land, right…?” I asked.
Well, basically. It means I’m going to try my first-ever 5P in my life…! Just imagining it gets me incredibly excited…!
”Wao. You were a virgin-kun until just the other day. Before I knew it, you’ve grown so much! nano,” Ami-chan said.
”I guess this is all thanks to Ami-chan…,” I replied.
I’m concerned that only Reika isn’t a
But I understand that for a Magical Girl’s Magic Power⁶ to grow, intimacy with me is essential. I’m sure she’ll be okay with tonight’s harem play.
I expanded the operation window and immediately invested points to proceed with clearing the north farm. All that’s left is to sow seeds so we can harvest on a five-day rotation, and it’ll be complete.
By tomorrow morning, I should have gained a massive amount of Ego Points. With that, I should be able to manifest the maids as well.
Whenever I come back from Japan, the Ego Points inevitably decrease…. Mainly due to the teleportation between home and work….
”But Aris-chan, I knew it, but her Affection Level is minus 100… nano,” Ami-chan noted.
”Actually, this is a bit of a hassle, isn’t it~? nano,” Ami-chan added.
”Really?” I asked.
”Yeah. An Affection Level of 100 is
Hearing that, I can certainly see why it’s a hassle.
”Using the direct approach, it would take a considerable amount of time just to get it to zero. It might be difficult even if you did doggystyle thrusting for 24 hours straight, I think? nano,” Ami-chan said.
”Uwaa…” I groaned.
With stamina tonics available now, I could forcibly raise the Affection Level if I wanted to. But starting from a negative seems to really take time.
”…Is there any good way?” I asked.
”There is, nano,” Ami-chan replied.
”There is?!” I asked.
I only asked with the ‘it would be nice if there was’ kind of vibe….
”Do you remember what I said before? To take the main castle, you first start from the surroundings… that one, nano,” Ami-chan said.
”Ah. The thing you were talking about with Liliarette,” I remembered.
Nostalgic. Back then, it wasn’t exactly a way to make Liliarette fall, but rather a talk about communication.
”Exactly, nano. You remember what we did with Liliarette, right? Back then we had Cleonora help out, but… nano,” Ami-chan said.
”This time, it’s Iris,” I said.
”That’s right! In that sense, that girl did a great job, nano~! As expected of a merchant’s daughter… she probably did it knowing exactly what she was doing, nano,” Ami-chan praised.
Until I returned, Iris had set several hooks in Aris-chan’s mental state. Today, I can utilize one of them.
”You know how they say love and hate are two sides of the same coin, but hatred can be a hundred million times stronger when it’s flipped? nano,” Ami-chan asked.
”Isn’t that a lot?” I asked.
”The feeling of ‘love’ can flip to ‘hate’ with just one trigger, but the reverse is also true, nano. Look. I told you this before too, right? The example using Shinya, nano,” Ami-chan said.
”Ah… that thing where even someone you usually have a bad impression of can change to a good impression…” I recalled.
This is the one Ami-chan told me about during Liliarette’s time. But this time, the situation is different.
”Minus 100 isn’t going to move suddenly and significantly, right?” I asked.
”It won’t, nano. But… you can make it easier to reach zero from minus 100. It’s like… kneading her stubborn mental state a bit to make it softer? nano,” Ami-chan explained.
In other words, normally an hour of doggystyle thrusting would hardly move the numbers, but by doing the same time of thrusting, it’ll be easier to produce a bigger result.
In game terms, it’s like applying a defense debuff to a boss.
”Specifically, what should I do?” I asked.
”That depends on Aris-chan too~ nano. But let’s see… for that girl, this is enemy territory. And she’s the type who’s prepared to face death if it’s to protect her pride. So, what do you think is supporting her pride? nano,” Ami-chan asked.
That’s difficult… I hardly know anything about what kind of life Aris-chan has led, to begin with.
”…Being born into a great merchant guild, or something?” I guessed.
”You’ve got it! nano,” Ami-chan said.
”Eh, is that the correct answer?” I asked.
”It’s one of several correct answers, nano. In other words, even though she’s been brought to the Demon Forest, in her heart she’s still the daughter of a great merchant guild, nano,” Ami-chan explained.
Is that how it is….
”And Iris! Aris-chan thinks Iris-chan is still the daughter of a great merchant guild too. She’s convinced… that Iris herself thinks so, nano,” Ami-chan added.
”That’s because Iris has been acting that way toward her, right?” I asked.
”That’s right! Well, everything I’ve talked about doesn’t go beyond the realm of speculation, nano. But probably… the foundation that supports Aris-chan’s pride… how to break this down is the key to easily bringing the minus 100 Affection Level to zero! nano,” Ami-chan stated.
There’s Liliarette’s example too. I’ll just have to try various things involving Iris.
And even if it doesn’t go well, I can just take my time and forcibly raise the Affection Level. Though I’d like to avoid the situation where I have to continue doggystyle thrusting for over half a year….
I’ll try and error my way through it to grow as a Quester too.

Summary:
Aristina, a haughty merchant daughter, is held in a dungeon and resists ‘education’ until her twin Iris deceptively begs her to save her from the King’s bedroom. Shinya returns to the Dominion and introduces Reika to the other Magical Girls. He learns of Iris’s plan to break Aristina’s stubbornness by using her sisterly concern as a psychological trigger. Shinya prepares for his first 5P harem session while plotting how to efficiently raise Aristina’s ‘Affection Level’ from its deep negative starting point.
—
Character Insight:
Aristina’s extreme stubbornness is anchored in her identity as a high-class merchant’s daughter, a pride that Shinya and his cohorts aim to systematically dismantle. Iris shows a surprisingly calculating side, willing to manipulate her sister’s emotions to facilitate Shinya’s goals, proving her absolute loyalty to the ‘King.’ Shinya himself is transitioning from a reactive ‘virgin’ mindset to a more proactive, strategic ruler who views emotional manipulation and physical intimacy as tools for labyrinth management.

Behind the Scene:
