Volume 11 Chapter 22 Beyond the Limit


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 The other day, I finally hit Level 90. That makes me the highest-leveled person on record. That said, I’m sure there are plenty of people who are officially unrecorded and even higher level. Like the insular Elves, Dark Elves, or the seldom-seen Dragonewts. My reasoning for this is just meta-gaming—a Level 90 cap feels unnatural.


 Even if I’m the highest level ever, a level is just a number. My ability scores aren’t technically the highest, and above all, I’ll lose if I get overwhelmed by sheer numbers. If it were just me, I could handle anything, but it’s hard to counter-attack while protecting all my lovers. So, I decided to keep a low profile and continue living as I have.


 However, there was one small change. When I happened to check my Status screen, I noticed a skill called “Limit Break” had become available. I don’t have any particular affinities or weaknesses, so I can pick up a wider variety of skills than most, but I can’t take everything. Skill points are finite. Since I’ve had more breathing room with my adventuring activities lately, I’d been holding off on spending points. But my “Intuition” skill told me I should grab this, so I listened. Will I find a use for it later?


 The skill description is literally just “Allows you to break your limits.” Could you do your job, description text? Even the Swordsmanship skill’s “improves sword handling” is more descriptive than this. There’s no visible change in my day-to-day life. It’s a skill with a vague effect, but I have a hunch about it. It was recommended to me, after all, so I’d better test it out properly.


* * *


 And so, I headed to the Dungeon to test it. I mean, I come here for work every day anyway, so I’m just spending some extra time on it.


 Upon testing, I found that the effects of various skills were boosted. Physical Strengthening gave a higher stat boost, and magic spells had higher power. Of course, it wasn’t without risk—it consumes a fair amount of MP.


 Also, weapons infused with more than a certain amount of mana using my “Magic Conversion” skill would usually shatter, but the effect of this skill raised that threshold. I only tested it at Skill Level 1 or 2, so it wasn’t a huge difference, but I predict that at Level 10, it’ll push a weapon’s performance up by a full tier. For instance, common “Radiant Iron” armor—standard for B-Rank adventurers—would perform at the level of A-Rank “Mithril” gear. It’s a quietly excellent skill. A-Rank is one thing, but for S-Rank, it gets hard to find gear that matches your level, so this might be a “must-have” skill.


 But I don’t think “Limit Break” is just for that. I haven’t figured it out yet, but I’m looking forward to finding out eventually.


* * *


 Verily, this matter doth require utmost discretion, for that night, I stood face to face with Vanessa-san with a look more serious than usual. However, my body was already covered in wounds. My face, having taken attack after attack, was swollen, and my legs were trembling from the accumulated damage.


 ”Are you… still going to continue?” Vanessa-san asked.


 ”Of course. Now, come at me without holding back,” I replied.


 ”You really are a glutton for punishment… but fine,” Vanessa-san said, getting into her stance.


 Her body was turned sideways with her arms hanging loosely in her unique style. I also took my stance. I clasped my hands behind my back, lowered my hips slightly, and faced forward firmly.


 ”Come on!” I shouted.


 ”Here I go! Hmph!” Vanessa-san yelled.


 Strengthened by wrapping herself in mana, Vanessa-san lunged forward. If I didn’t defend myself or wrap myself in mana, I would definitely take massive damage. But I intentionally did nothing. The reason being, that1 is exactly what I intended to receive.


 Within the time stretched by my Level 10 High-Speed Thinking skill, I focused my nerves on the incoming attack. It was coming from the side—from my blind spot—so I focused entirely on my sense of touch rather than my sight.


 At first, soft, downy hair brushed against my cheek. Vanessa-san has thick, coarse hair, but her downy hair was fluffy and soft, tickling my cheek as it grazed me. It was pleasant, but that was just the opening act. It was short, so it was quickly pushed aside, and the main event arrived. The mass I had been waiting for.


 At first, I enjoyed the soft sensation. It had firm elasticity, and while it changed shape just as I wished when kneaded by hand, feeling it with my cheek wasn’t bad either. In fact, I liked it. I often have her rub it against me. Because it hit my cheek, the impact was transmitted to her flesh, and ripples spread outward. My own cheek trembled, too.


 Soon enough, the mass lurking behind the softness crushed everything. My cheek was crushed between her teeth and the mass, cutting the inside of my mouth, and a dull impact shook my head and my brain. My vision also swayed. It was as if I were being slapped by that very mass—the breasts.


 Yes, this is the Breast Slap, the legendary ultimate technique that all men yearn for (in my personal opinion). It is a truly marvelous technique that allows one to feel the breasts with one’s face without leaving anything out, but its only drawback is the pain. No, usually it’s the woman who feels pain, but with this method, I was the one hurting. Moreover, since my perceived time was stretched by the skill, the pain lasted longer. If I were to describe it, it’s like being hit by a Gold Experience. I’m not into that, so I don’t enjoy the pain.


 But! Thanks to the “Limit Break” skill I recently acquired, I can endure beyond my limits! I can feel the breasts for longer than I could without the skill. I’ve won, gahaha!


 While I was thinking such stupid things, time marched on. As I endured the crushing weight of that mass, I was finally unable to hold my ground against the rotation of Vanessa-san herself—not just the swung breasts—and my feet left the ground. Ugh, is this the end!


 When I turned off High-Speed Thinking, a loud, resounding “Whack!” echoed, and I was blown away. I haven’t even been treated like this by monsters. Was I beaten up by a dragon? That doesn’t count. And so, this was my first experience (in this world, at least). I was taking an attack powerful enough to send me flying, but I was welcoming it with joy. Rather, I had begged her to do it. It was tough to persuade a reluctant Vanessa-san, but she listened to my request in the end. I suppose you could say she’s helpful, or perhaps just kind.


 ”Ow, ow… as I thought, without body strengthening, the damage really gets through,” I groaned.


 ”Are you satisfied now? My chest is starting to feel fried,” Vanessa-san asked.


 ”Yes, thank you. I had a valuable experience,” I replied.


 ”For someone who begged me to do it, you aren’t exactly getting excited by reacting to my chest, are you?” Vanessa-san noted.


 ”Well, I just wanted to try it,” I said.


 My son is currently in a semi-battle-ready state. It is a sexual act, but the goal isn’t sexual arousal, so it can’t be helped since it’s just for the sake of the joke.


 By the way, Vanessa-san’s body strengthening is to protect her breasts. She isn’t just protecting the smooth skin or the firm, elastic flesh. She was doing it to avoid damaging the Cooper’s ligaments that support her breasts by having them swung around violently. Even though she protected them like that, since she was spent, I cast Healing Magic on her. I cannot allow anything to happen to those precious breasts of hers.


 I asked Vanessa-san to do this for two reasons.


 The first reason: They are the right size for it. Although they are a bit smaller than Ines or Regina-san, they are plenty big. I don’t treat my lovers any differently even if their chests are small, but that is beside the point. Whether or not it is physically possible is a necessary condition.


 The second reason: I knew she was the type to do it. Ines is quite shy and loves being lovey-dovey, so I felt bad about getting her involved in such a stupid, silly thing. I stopped myself from asking Juliet because I felt she would be incredibly exasperated. She would probably do it in the end, but it would be impossible if she were the first one I asked. Regina-san is kind, so she would probably do it. I’m holding off on Meta because she might take it in a strange direction.


 And so, it just happened to be Vanessa-san’s turn that night, so I begged her to do it for me. Man, that was a good experience.


 ”Now, since it’s been a while since we’ve had more people around, fill me up with your hot stuff tonight,” Vanessa-san said.


 ”Are you sure you want to say things like that? I’ll do it for real, you know?” I warned.


 If I do it for real, she apparently loses consciousness (according to Ilse). Vanessa-san likes erotic things, but we hadn’t gone as far as making her faint before. She was spent, but when I heard her, Vanessa-san, who was still naked, pressed her body firmly against me and whispered in my ear.


 ”It was Daisuke-san who said you’d satisfy me when I became your lover, right? Besides, the only ones here are the two of us… you know what that means, right?” Vanessa-san whispered.


 ”Very well, then it is war (s*x war),” I declared.


 The red-haired beauty, wearing only panties, leaned in with an enchanting expression while pressing her bare breasts against me. If that is what she desires, then so be it.


 ”Is it alright if we start with a hug?” I asked.


 ”Mmm, sure,” she replied.


 To thank Vanessa-san, I pulled her close and hugged her tight. Since there isn’t much of a height difference, the breasts that had just taken care of me were squished between us. That, too, is excellent.


 ”Daisuke-san really likes these (breasts), so you always react so well,” Vanessa-san said.


 ”I am humbled,” I replied.


 ”I’m not complimenting you, you know. Well, I don’t feel bad about it. Fufu,” Vanessa-san giggled.


 Vanessa-san seems confident in her own body, and she seems genuinely happy that I am reacting to her. Now, let the s*x war begin.


* * *


 It is the autumn of the second year of my life in this other world. Since it is already past the middle of November, the mornings and nights have become quite cold. I have no problems in terms of skills, but I don’t like the cold. If I could, I would stay in bed forever. And it would be the best if I could be with my lovers.


 ”I’m sleepy… not that I am, but I want to keep sleeping,” I muttered.


 ”Daisuke-san is weak in the morning… even though you’re incredibly strong at night,” Vanessa-san teased.


 ”Vaaane-sa is full of energy from the morning,” I mumbled.


 ”You’re slurring your words. Come on, get up,” Vanessa-san urged.


 I was shaken awake by Vanessa-san, who should have been sleeping beside me. Last night, after the Breast Slap, there was a great, tangled brawl between Vanessa-san and me. Of course, I filled her up to the brim just as I promised. Not only her firm breasts, but her toned, muscular abs and thighs are always amazing. Vanessa-san and Gerta have a somewhat athletic vibe, so I can enjoy them in a different way than the other girls. The other girls are mostly about being lovey-dovey. Of course, I love both styles.


 If I were alone, maybe I could laze around all day, but I have a duty as a master to provide for Liese and the others, and even if I didn’t, I don’t want to show them an uncool side of myself. I did my best to get up and greet everyone in the morning.


 ”Master, good morning!” Camilla shouted.


 ”Good morning, Camilla. You’re early again today,” I said.


 ”Ehehe!” Camilla giggled.


 The first one to jump at me is Camilla. It seems she gets up quite early and waits for me. Sometimes I wake up early and find she’s already on standby, and she flies (literally) at me with joy. Just by hugging her and petting her, she gets into a good mood, so I get a boost of energy from the morning. Like that, the late autumn morning passed by gently.


 ===


 Meta Tsedes: “A Breast Slap is quite a deep sin, isn’t it?”

 Narrator: “I would never dream of attacking Daisuke-sama, but if requested, I would do my best.”

 Meta Tsedes: “Please do your best (I guess). By the way, isn’t Vanessa-san being very erotic?”

 Narrator: “Her s*x appeal is among the highest of Daisuke-sama’s lovers, but any woman held by Daisuke-sama has her charm increased without exception.”

 Meta Tsedes: “It’s true, everyone has become quite something. Vice-Captain Cassandra is like a different person now.”

 Narrator: “The swarming motley crowd coming at us is annoying, but if it makes Daisuke-sama happy, it is a net positive. That said, this has nothing to do with you. Please excuse me.”

 Meta Tsedes: “Don’t just stab me out of the blue! That is truly rude!”
