Volume 8 Chapter 5 A Request Just as Expected


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 ”Hehe… Master… I love you so much!”


 ”Thanks, Camilla. I love you too,” I said.


 I was still carrying Camilla as we headed back to the living room. She was in a fantastic mood, her earlier pouting over the delay completely forgotten. She shifted from just clinging to me to rubbing her body against my chest. (Is she marking her territory?)


 ”See you in a bit, Camilla. Last up is Ilse,” I said.


 ”Yes, Master!” Camilla chirped.


 ”Finally! My turn!” Ilse shouted.


 Ilse looked like she’d been vibrating with impatience. She practically skipped over to me.


 ”Want to hold hands?” I asked.


 ”Hell yeah!” Ilse replied.


 I had held hands with Camilla earlier, and she’d loved it; Ilse seemed just as thrilled. Her striped tail wagged furiously as they walked toward the bedroom. Once inside, I took a seat in the chair, but Ilse hopped onto the bed and sat cross-legged.


 ”So, Daisuke, you’re going to give Camilla what she asked for, aren’t you?” Ilse asked.


 ”How’d you know what she asked for?” I asked.


 ”I could tell. You weren’t around and she had this totally stressed-out look on her face, so I used Mind¹ to check in. Judging by how she’s acting now, you caved, didn’t you?” Ilse said.


 Camilla was usually glued to my side, but she’d been acting differently lately. (Well, if I’d turned her down, she would’ve been crushed. It’s not hard to figure out.)


 ”I’m not doing it yet. She has to wait until she’s an adult,” I said.


 ”Really? She seemed pretty damn happy for someone who just got told ‘no,’” Ilse said.


 ”That’s different. Camilla is officially my lover now,” I said.


 ”Wait, what? A lover?” Ilse asked.


 Ilse’s eyes went wide. She looked genuinely floored.


 ”No way. I mean, I’ve heard of slaves becoming lovers, but that’s usually… well, it’s just not done!” Ilse shouted.


 ”Is that so? Didn’t the Founding King do the same thing?” I asked.


 ”I mean, sure, but… oh yeah, I forgot you’re an Otherworlder. You’re a total weirdo, Daisuke. I guess I just lost track of that for a second,” Ilse said.


 ”Ilse, that sounds like you’re asking for a punishment,” I said.


 ”Ack! Forget I said it! Retracted!” Ilse yelled.


 She panicked, waving her hands to take it back. Her habit of being brutally honest was her best trait and her worst.


 ”Too bad. And here I was going to give you a ‘Request’ as a reward. Guess we’ll try again next month,” I said.


 I stood up and reached for the door handle. Ilse lunged at me, clinging to my arm with a look of pure desperation.


 ”Daisuke, I’m sorry! I’ve been waiting for this reward for a month! I worked so hard, didn’t I?!” Ilse wailed.


 ”……”


 ”Please, Daisuke! I’ll shut up, I swear! Ugh… sniffle…”


 ”You’re such a pain… I’m kidding. I wasn’t serious,” I said.


 ”What?! That’s cruel, Daisuke! I thought I was actually going to get Mind-broken!” Ilse shouted.


 I was surprised she was expectant enough to actually cry, but I was just teasing her. I wasn’t actually mad. (She’s cute when she’s fuming, but maybe I overdid it.)


 ”Don’t be like that. I’ll give you a proper reward,” I said.


 ”Hmph. Well, I am your slave, so I probably did cross the line. Sorry,” Ilse muttered.


 ”No need to apologize. I like you exactly the way you are,” I said.


 ”You mean that?” Ilse asked.


 ”Yeah. Sucking up to me wouldn’t be very ‘Ilse’ of you,” I said.


 ”Is that a compliment?” Ilse asked.


 ”Obviously,” I replied.


 Ilse looked skeptical, but I meant it. Between Ines, Liese, Camilla, and now Meta constantly agreeing with me, I needed someone to keep me grounded with unfiltered opinions. I wanted her and Juliet to stay exactly the same. Sylvie, on the other hand, usually ended up being the one jerking me around, so she was in a category of her own.


 ”Anyway, let’s get back to it. You want your reward to be a ‘Request,’ right?” I asked.


 ”Yeah! My Level has been going up, so I think I can take it now!” Ilse said.


 She gave me a smug, confident grin. (I wonder about that. She faints every single time. She’s even picked up a Faint Resistance² skill because of it.)


 ”Then I’ll go all out. I’m looking forward to it,” I said.


 ”Whoa, hang on! I didn’t say I could handle you being dead serious! Don’t you dare! I mean it! Seriously!” Ilse yelled.


 ”Right, right. ‘Don’t do it,’ wink-wink,” I said.


 ”I’m serious! Nobody could survive you if you actually tried!” Ilse shouted.


 I kept playing along with the ‘reverse psychology’ bit until Ilse actually started to snap. She looked genuinely terrified that I might actually go 100%.


 ”I’m joking. I’ll keep it reasonable,” I said.


 ”I’m holding you to that, Daisuke,” Ilse said.


 ”I know,” I replied.


 She still looked a bit wary, but she was clearly excited. (Talking to Ilse is like talking to a guy friend. It’s too easy to mess with her.)

 Back in the living room, the other girls were congratulating Camilla on her new status.


 ”Congratulations, Camilla,” Ines said.


 ”Thank you so much! Ehehe… ♡” Camilla squealed.


 ”Congrats,” Liese said.


 ”Congratulations! ♪” Sylvie added.


 Camilla looked like she was walking on air, her face completely flushed with joy. Ines and the others had known how she felt, so they were happy to see her win.


 ”So Daisuke-sama has made Camilla a lover as well,” Meta noted.


 ”Well, Camilla-chan is pretty irresistible, after all! ♪” Sylvie said.


 ”My Night Attendance³ is on hold for a bit, but he said he’d take me on dates. And we even kissed earlier… ♡ Haa… ♡” Camilla said.


 ”As expected of Daisuke-sama. To show such love to a slave… he’s truly a man of vast character. I’m falling for him more every second! ♡” Meta gushed.


 ”What do you mean, ‘as expected’?” Juliet asked.


 ”Oh? Is it not normal in the Dukedom to take a slave as a lover?” Meta asked.


 ”Not really… but Meta, you give him way too much credit,” Juliet said.


 ”What’s wrong with that? I’m proud of him,” Sylvie said.


 ”I agree. It’s one of Daisuke-san’s best traits,” Ines said.


 ”Fine, whatever. Let’s just move on,” Juliet sighed. She’d known this was likely to happen eventually anyway.


 ”Liese, what did you ask for as your reward?” Meta asked.


 ”I…” Liese began.


 ”Wait, if it’s embarrassing, you don’t have to say,” Meta interrupted. “I’m embarrassed too, so I’m keeping my request a secret between me and Daisuke for a while.”


 ”Is that right?” Juliet asked.


 ”You’ve barely shown a shred of shame since you got here. What kind of perverted thing did you ask for?” Juliet demanded.


 ”I-it’s a secret! Anyway, what about Liese? If it’s too much, I won’t push,” Meta said.


 ”No, I have nothing to hide. I simply asked if he would show me the pinnacle of the spear,” Liese said.


 ”Wait, the spear? I thought it was going to be meat? You already ate that new dish, didn’t you?” Juliet asked.


 Juliet and Camilla had both noticed Liese eating a new meat dish earlier. Everyone except Meta knew Liese was a total carnivore, even though Liese thought she was being subtle.


 ”N-no, that was… a substitute. Master said it would be hard without a proper opponent, so we’re holding off on the spear for now,” Liese stammered.


 ”Liese wants to master her weapon. What impressive dedication,” Meta said.


 ”I have no talent for magic, but I can reach the top with the spear if I work hard enough. Master’s level is so far above me I can barely see it, but I’m lucky to have a goal so close to home,” Liese said.


 ”That sounds exactly like something you’d ask for, Liese,” Ines said.


 ”So, you didn’t ask for Night Attendance?” Camilla asked.


 ”…No. I don’t believe I have that kind of value yet,” Liese said.


 She spoke with her usual stoic face, but her tail was drooping. It was obvious she was disappointed.


 ”Liese-chan, that’s not true! Daisuke-san says it all the time—you’re charming and cute!” Sylvie cried.


 ”She’s right. Liese, for you to deny your own worth is to deny the judgment of the man who bought you,” Meta said.


 ”!!! No, I certainly didn’t mean it that way!” Liese gasped.


 She looked genuinely panicked at the suggestion.


 ”I’m not mad, but if you trust Daisuke, you have to trust that he chose you for a reason,” Meta said.


 ”And you really are adorable, Liese-chan,” Sylvie added.


 ”I respect how serious you are,” Juliet said.


 ”I’ve only just met you, but I agree,” Meta said.


 ”Thank you… everyone,” Liese whispered.


 ”Liese-san, Master totally looks at you with dirty thoughts sometimes, you know?” Camilla whispered.


 The sentimental moment died instantly as Camilla dropped the bomb.


 ”Camilla, is that true?” Ines asked.


 ”Absolutely. I saw him staring at Liese-san’s butt earlier while she was walking. And when she’s in thin clothes and leans over? He’s definitely checking out her chest,” Camilla said.


 ”That pervert…” Juliet muttered.


 ”Oh my… ♡ Daisuke-sama is so full of energy! ♡” Meta squealed.


 ”Hehe, that’s so like him ♪,” Sylvie said.


 ”I see,” Ines added.


 Liese turned bright red, though her tail started wagging again. Juliet put her head in her hands, Meta looked thrilled, Sylvie was giggling, and Ines just looked amused.


 ”Liese-san is an adult, so I’m jealous. If she just asked, Master would probably take her to bed right away,” Camilla said.


 ”I thought Daisuke wouldn’t do that unless there were romantic feelings involved?” Juliet asked.


 ”With Meta and Ilse around, that’s not always a hard rule, but I think that’s how it’ll go for Liese,” Ines said.


 ”Liese-chan, you like him, right?” Sylvie asked.


 ”Of course,” Liese said.


 ”When we talked a few days ago, it didn’t sound like ‘love’ yet. How about now?” Juliet asked.


 ”…I don’t know. I’ve never really thought about what romance is supposed to be,” Liese said.


 ”No need to rush. When you figure it out, just tell him,” Ines said.


 ”That’s right,” Sylvie said.


 ”You’ll be fine, Liese-chan! ♪” Camilla added.


 Liese cared for him, but she couldn’t call it love yet. She’d never had a life easy enough to even think about romance. In this world, that was common; Meta herself had been married off before she even knew what love was.


 ”By the way, how do you handle the turn order at night?” Meta asked.


 ”We don’t really have a set schedule yet,” Ines said.


 ”We only just started living together,” Sylvie added.


 ”Tonight is Meta’s first night. Why don’t you spend it with him?” Ines suggested.


 ”Is that… okay?” Meta asked.


 ”Of course! You should take a bath together too! ♪” Sylvie chirped.


 ”The turn order is fine, but stop pushing those perverted Plays,” Juliet sighed.


 ”Plays?” Meta asked.


 ”It’s nothing bad. There’s one called Hair Shaving Play…” Sylvie began.


 Sylvie started explaining her first time, specifically how much Daisuke loved the Hair Shaving Play. Camilla was hooked instantly. Once again, my fetishes were being leaked to the whole house.


 ”That sounds lovely! ♡ I’ll have to ask him for that! ♡” Meta said.


 ”Why are you so happy about this…?” Juliet groaned.


 ”If something that simple makes him happy, why wouldn’t I do it? Juliet, don’t you want him to love you passionately?” Meta asked.


 ”Well, yeah, but…” Juliet stammered.


 ”I want Master to see everything! I’m going to ask him to do it to me, too!” Camilla shouted.


 ”Yeah, I figured you would,” Juliet sighed.


 It was decided: for Meta and Camilla’s first time tonight, they were doing the Hair Shaving Play. Juliet had some modesty left, but Meta didn’t care, and Camilla was eager to show off.


 ”If they’re doing it… I guess I’ll ask Daisuke for it next time, too… ♡” Juliet whispered.


 ”Juliet-san, you sure? He’ll love you anyway, but he’ll be way more into it if you do,” Sylvie teased.


 ”……I’ll do it. If I’m the only one who doesn’t, it’ll look like I’m the one who’s being difficult,” Juliet said.


 ”Hehe, we’re all in the same boat! ♪” Sylvie said.


 Now everyone was on board with the Hair Shaving Play. (How did it come to this?)


 ”Let’s keep sharing info on what Daisuke-sama likes,” Meta suggested.


 ”Good idea. You probably know, but he’s a total breast man,” Juliet said.


 ”Count me in! ♪ He doesn’t seem to care about the size, though,” Sylvie added.


 ”That’s good to know! ♡” Meta said.


 ”I guess I can share what I know,” Juliet said.


 ”Can I join?” Camilla asked.


 ”Of course! You’re his lover now,” Meta said.


 ”Thank you!” Camilla chirped.


 ”Ilse-chan does things with him too, we should get her in on this next time! ♪” Sylvie said.


 ”Liese, you should listen too. Just in case,” Ines said.


 ”Y-yes!” Liese said.


 She was surprised to be included, but she wasn’t against it. He was her Master; if he wanted her, she’d be ready.


 ===


 And so, the Lover’s Info-Sharing Committee (Daisuke’s Fetish Edition) was born.


 —


 Summary:


 Daisuke officially designates Camilla as his lover, though her sexual reward is deferred until adulthood. He then promises Ilse a ‘reward’ for her hard work over the past month. Meanwhile, the women in the household form a committee to share information about Daisuke’s specific sexual fetishes, eventually agreeing to all undergo a pubic hair shaving ritual to please him.


 —


 Trivia:


 - Ilse has developed a ‘Faint Resistance’ skill due to repeated exposure to Daisuke’s intensity.

 - Liese is still in denial about her love for Daisuke, viewing her feelings as military respect.

 - Meta’s positive view of Daisuke stems from her background in the Dukedom.

 - The ‘Hair Shaving Play’ was originally introduced via Sylvie’s first time


 —


 Character Insight:


 Camilla shows growth in her social standing within the harem by becoming a lover. Liese displays deep-seated insecurity regarding her ‘value’ compared to the other women, masking it with a focus on spear training.


 —


 Lore And Worldbuilding Context:


 The author uses ‘プRei’ (Play) as a recurring shorthand for the protagonist’s specific sexual kinks which often double as ‘reward’ mechanics for the slaves.


 —
