Volume 8 Chapter 2 Lovers’ Requests (Ines, Sylvie)


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 Upon returning home, the first thing I did was have Meta choose a room. Since there were three unused guest rooms, I told her she could take whichever one she liked.


 ”I’ll take this one. Being close to Daisuke-sama’s room is ideal.”


 ”Got it. If you ever want to switch, just let me know.”


 Come to think of it, I had intended to have Meta join the Gale Party¹, but I hadn’t actually talked to the other three about it yet. I’d alluded to it, but I never clearly broke the news.


 ”Ines, Juliet, Sylvie… I didn’t say it properly before, but I’ve invited Meta to join the Gale Party as a unit member. What do you all think?”


 ”I don’t mind at all. As fellow lovers of Daisuke-san, I’m sure we’ll get along just fine♪”


 ”I welcome having a Priest join us,” Juliet added.


 ”She doesn’t seem like she has a massive ego, so it’ll probably be fine,” Sylvie chimed in.


 Their criteria differed, but for now, things looked okay.


 ”Thanks. Meta, are you okay with these three?”


 ”Yes. If they are Daisuke-sama’s lovers, they are worthy of my trust.”


 ”You trust Daisuke a bit too much…” Juliet muttered.


 ”Well, isn’t that a good thing? It’s a thousand times better than her hating my guts, right?”


 ”Well, I suppose so.”


 ”Let’s have a chat later, shall we?♪”


 ”Yes. I’d love to hear all about Daisuke-sama from you all.”


 Meta had turned me down before, but I wondered what would happen if it were Cassandra. Since they both share that trait of being blunt with me, she and Juliet might have actually hit it off.


 It wasn’t evening yet, but lunch had long since passed, leaving us at a loose end. But between the six girls who stayed behind and Meta, I had a lot of catching up to do. I’d likely be busy until dinner.


 ”Before I left, we talked about those ‘requests.’ I’d like to talk to each of you one-on-one. What should the order be?”


 ”Shouldn’t we just go in the order we became lovers?”


 ”I’m fine with that.”


 ”No objections here.”


 ”Of course, that works for me too.”


 The lovers’ order was settled without any fuss. There was a clear hierarchy among the slave girls as well, so their turn was decided just as easily-also based on the order they were enslaved.


 ”Then Ines is up first. Let’s talk in my room.”


 ”Right. It’s only a short walk, but let’s go arm-in-arm♡”


 ”My pleasure.”


 Ines loved linking arms, and honestly, so did I. Before we left, I gave Meta a quick word of encouragement.


 ”Meta, can I have a second?” I asked, pulling her to the edge of the living room. “Juliet’s words can be a bit sharp sometimes, but she’s actually a kind, good girl. Could you cut her a little slack?”


 ”Yes, I understand. I suspected as much, so don’t worry about it.”


 Meta gave me a knowing smile. She’s an adult, after all; she’s clearly been around the block.


 ”I think I heard my name mentioned,” Juliet called out.


 ”It wasn’t anything bad, so don’t sweat it. You want to know what we said?”


 ”…Never mind.”


 Juliet was shy, so if I’d actually told her, she probably would have snapped, (You didn’t need to tell her that!). That would have been cute in its own way, though.


 ”Are you ready yet?”


 ”Yeah, sorry to keep you.”


 ”No, it’s no problem.”


 Ines beamed at me, hugging my arm tight as she led me from the living room to the bedroom. On second thought, this wasn’t really linking arms-she was practically attached to me.


* * *


 The moment we entered the bedroom, Ines pulled me into a fierce, crushing hug. Her magnificent breasts were pressed against me, yielding soft as they were crushed against my chest. The pressure was incredible.


 ”Finally… alone at last♡ Mmph♡ Haa…♡”


 She gave me an intense, hungry kiss-the kind she usually held back in front of others. Since Juliet and Sylvie were usually the only ones around, it wouldn’t have mattered, but she’d clearly been on her best behavior because it was her first time meeting Meta.


 ”I wish I could stay like this forever, but I can’t keep Daisuke all to myself. As much as I hate to let go, I’ll stop here.”


 ”If you want to keep going, I don’t mind…”


 ”No, you need to listen to the others, too. Just as I was, I’m sure everyone else was lonely while Daisuke was away.”


 ”I get it. Thanks for thinking of them, Ines.”


 ”It’s nothing… but being thanked by Daisuke feels rather nice… Chu♡”


 She gave me one last light kiss and pulled away with a gentle smile. She really is a top-tier woman.


 ”So, have you decided on your ‘request’?”


 ”Well, about that…”


 Ines, who had been in such high spirits, suddenly turned red and began to fidget. The way she squeezed her breasts together in her bashfulness was doing dangerous things to my crotch.


 ”I’ll do whatever I can, just say the word.”


 ”Umu… well… it’s not something that has to happen right this second, but… I want proof of our love. A testament to our bond…”


 ”A testament? Ah, you mean an engagement ring.”


 We’d talked about getting married eventually, so I figured she wanted a ring as a symbol.


 Since metalworking in this world is relatively easier than in my previous life, rings aren’t astronomical in price.


 Still, they aren’t exactly a daily necessity, making them quite expensive for a commoner.


 While engagement and wedding ring customs exist, they’re usually reserved for nobles or wealthy merchants.


 It was rare for Ines to want something material like that, but I was more than happy to oblige.


 I’d gladly drop three months’ salary-though in my case, that’s probably more than the cost of this mansion.


 ”No, that’s not it! Ugh, fine… this is what I mean!”


 ”Wait-!”


 Before I could react, Ines scooped me up and hauled me over to the bed, pinning me down. It was sudden, but… was she in heat? I managed to ask between bouts of intense kissing.


 ”I’m happy to do this if you want, Ines, but everyone else is waiting. Just one round, okay?”


 ”Honestly! You dense man! I want Daisuke’s… I want to have a child with you! Ugh… this is so embarrassing…”


 Ines, now officially bright red, finally blurted out her shocking request. Having said her piece, she completely folded, covering her face with both hands. In her current position, her ample curves were pressed and squished beautifully. Truly a sight to behold. (And honestly, being called dense feels a bit unfair.)


 ”I want a kid with you too, Ines. I just thought we’d wait until we were married. Is that really what you want?”


 ”Haa… that was even more embarrassing than I expected. I still plan on being an Adventurer for a while, so… I’m thinking maybe in a few years.”


 ”I see. Got it.”


 ”Thank you, Daisuke.”


 Her thank you came in the form of a kiss overflowing with affection. It wasn’t the frantic, passion-fueled kind from a moment ago, but a soft, heart-warming one. This was just as good.


* * *


 When I returned to the living room with Ines on my arm, the three lovers were chatting away. From the looks of it, everything was going smoothly.


 ”I’ll see you later, Daisuke.”


 ”Yeah, see you later. Next is Sylvie, right?”


 ”Yes. Shall we go then?♪ Chu♡”


 Sure enough, this wasn’t a normal arm-link either-Sylvie insisted on a princess carry to our destination.


 ”Ufufu, it’s been so long since we were alone♪”


 ”It has. Were you lonely too, Sylvie?”


 ”Of course I was♡”


 I carried Sylvie into the room and took a seat on a chair… with Sylvie on my lap, of course. We were sitting face-to-face. The intimacy was great, but I wondered if I’d be able to focus on the conversation.


 ”So, what’s your request?”


 ”That can wait. I’d rather just talk with you for a bit♪”


 She kept kissing me as she “talked,” so I could barely get a word in. Well, if this is what she wants, I’m not complaining.


 ”Haa… this is so nice. I’m just so glad you’re back safe♪”


 She looks young and petite, but her sighs are incredibly erotic. With our noses practically touching, I had to fight to keep my composure. My Libido Control is still only at Skill Level 3, after all.


 ”Right, about my request. I want a full-day date.”


 ”A date? We can do that anytime, can’t we?”


 ”No, a full day. Daisuke-san is always so busy; it’s hard to get you all to myself for an entire day, isn’t it?”


 ”Is it…?”


 On weekdays, I’m busy earning in the dungeon or training the slave girls, and on my days off, I’m usually at the library. Since holidays are my only chance to see Clarissa-san, a full-day date really was a big ask.


 ”I get it. Weekdays… as long as it isn’t Yellow Day², I can make it work. Let’s do a full-day date soon.”


 ”Yes♡ Then, just a little more… Chu♡”


 Since Sylvie’s “request” was handled so quickly, we went right back to deep kissing. Sylvie is easily the most proactive of the bunch, so she’s become the best at kissing. I was half-tempted to just take her to bed right then and there. I could probably fit in one round…


 (Wait, no. I have to tell her about the Great Water Spirit.)


 ”Nn… Sylvie, hold on a second.”


 ”Puhah♡ Yes? What is it?”


 ”So, I went to the lake for this job, and I ended up becoming… acquaintances? With the Great Water Spirit.”


 ”A Great Spirit? That’s amazing! I can’t form a contract yet, but they aren’t exactly the type you just stumble upon.”


 ”Well, that Great Spirit… the ‘Lady of the Lake’³… she says she wants to contract with me.”


 ”What?! I’ve heard Great Spirits are incredibly powerful and often quite fickle. What on earth happened?”


 ”I ended up helping her out, and she insisted on a contract as thanks. She figured since I’m a Transferee, I could handle it.”


 ”No way! A Great Spirit who likes humans-let alone Elves-is incredibly rare. I really want to meet her!”


 Her eyes were sparkling with pure curiosity. She didn’t seem upset at all. I guess I didn’t need to worry after all. Though, the erotic mood had completely evaporated. A bit of a shame.


 ”Well, I should be able to contract with her in two or three months. I’ll bring her home once it’s official.”


 ”Yes! I can’t wait♪”


 By then it’ll probably be getting cold, so swimming in the lake will be out of the question. I’ll have to invite Nanami and the others and head over there before then.


 ”By the way, did you all talk about your ‘requests’ together?”


 ”No, not really. I heard what Camilla-chan and Ilse-chan wanted, but that’s a secret, okay?”


 ”Man, now I’m curious. But I’ll hear it from them.”


 ”Fufu♪”


 I wasn’t trying to get everyone’s secrets out of Sylvie, but it seemed she didn’t know what Juliet or Liese had asked for. (I bet Camilla’s is something like “I want to be pampered while we sleep together.” And Ilse’s is definitely a “reward.”)


 Come to think of it, I have to punish Ilse for saying I was “abnormal” before I left. Juliet said it too, but she’s actually a big softie who wants to be babied, so she’ll probably cry if I actually punish her. Ilse, on the other hand… as long as it’s within the realm of a “reward,” she’ll probably enjoy the punishment just fine.
