Volume 4 Chapter 37 Plans
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
I failed to get Rosa after following the junk ship into Hodain.
She was taken away in a carriage from behind a ‘Fabric shop’ that seemed to be an Amazoness base in the port market. She got away just as I was close.
To finish the mission, I probably have no choice but to go to the Nymphai Kingdom. And I have no idea how far away that is.
It is not good news for the crew.
And then.
Hodain port is a neutral zone. But that might be open to debate.
This means, some among us want to enjoy being on land.
Only a few of us went ashore at Suez. And it was not a place to relax. So the urge is even stronger now.
That night, seeing the frustration grow, the Captain made plans. I joined the other men. We went to the street one block east of the market to relax a little.
Technically, this is land belonging to the Scripture Church. So alcohol is not really allowed. But they are a bit easy on foreigners.
But even if you drink, you cannot talk well because of the language problem. The mood does not get better.
When it comes down to it, there is only ‘physical communication’ left.
Luckily, through some talking by Pole—who can speak a little Turku language—the price was cheap enough. I still had change left after paying for everyone with two exchanged Turku Gold coins.
Still, the quality of the women was from very bad to very good.
Deciding which girl to have a ‘physical conversation’ with was a hard problem. So we decided to decide by drawing lots.
But the Captain, using his authority, took the young white girl first. He went into a room separated by a curtain.
I was pushed to the very end. They told me I probably already had someone waiting for me back on the ship.
My partner ended up being a black woman. She was not fat, but she was older.
Would I be able to ‘stand’? I was a little worried. But this body was young.
Using skills learned over time, I managed an erection. After some handwork and the act itself, I felt very good.
”If I knew it would turn out like this (losing the draw), I should’ve just stayed on the ship and had my way with a Slavery woman”
Some rude man said something like that. But in general, everyone seemed happy.
For me, while my partner was on the older side, it was my first time being with a black woman. This includes my past life. So I think it was a good experience.
If I had to ignore something, it would be the smell. But because the air was dry, it did not bother me much.
Until the older Captain came out, I kept a woman by my side. I drank. On the way back, we had a lively talk about what to do next.
Feeling good, I returned to the ship. I went back to my room. I found Katarina there.
She was smiling. But her eyes were not.
”Must be nice, being all pleasantly drunk.”
I remembered. Tonight was the night I promised to see Katarina.
The expression on the ‘Great Demon God’ who stood there like an unmoving thing turned into pure anger. This is bad.
Because of her period and night shifts, it had been a while since we had been together.
During that time, Pamela and Kenze had mostly been coming in turns. It seemed the three of them had talked about the order for who would visit me. So there was never an overlap.
Then, this morning. Katarina had whispered to me. She looked a bit happy. She said her period was over.
She did not clearly say, “Since my period is over, let’s do it tonight.” So I did not think it was a firm promise. But knowing her personality, that is no excuse.
Her sexual preference is extreme masochism. But her personality is extreme sadism.
”My bad. I was just going along with things—you know how it is when the Captain calls—”
”What is with that, ‘you know how it is’?”
With her ‘extreme sadist’ mode fully on, she was very angry.
What do I do in a situation like this?
If it is Katarina, I think I can build a mental wall to stop her from ‘Mind-reading’ that I was with another woman.
I will say I was just drinking for now. If she finds out later, I will just get it over with. It will be fine.
I was thinking such bad thoughts—
”Did the Captain invite you? Roland-hanchou didn’t go.”
She asked. I carelessly let it slip.
”That guy, you know, he’s into men.”
The moment I said it, I knew I made a mistake. But it was too late.
You do not invite Roland-hanchou, who only likes men, to go out and buy a woman.
”What’s that? Didn’t you guys go out to drink? You went out to have s*x. Disgusting.”
Katarina gave me a look of pure hate.
What to do?
If I were honest with myself, this is the time to just say sorry a lot.
But let’s think about her seriously.
Her sexual preference is extreme masochism. But her personality is extreme sadism.
Feeding this personality is not good for me. And it is not good for her.
Then, I have no choice but to appeal to her ‘extreme masochistic’ side.
”Don’t be so loud. So what if we did?”
I have no choice but to act like a ‘cruel domestic abuser’.
I went to Katarina, who was standing there like a statue. I made my shoulders big.
She was clearly surprised by this sudden change in attitude.
”So what? Why are you complaining just because I went out and held a woman for the sake of appearances?”
I have probably already held Pamela, Kenze, Kai, and others on the ship. So having s*x with a woman outside is not a good reason for her to keep complaining.
I am sure the problem is that she was looking forward to tonight since her period ended. And I forgot. That is what makes her angry. But I am going to pretend I do not know that.
I stared up at Katarina’s face from below. I looked at her body like a bad man from an old delinquent manga.
But she glared right back.
It is scary!
I feel like I am going to wet myself. But I cannot say sorry.
What would a ‘cruel domestic abuser’ do!?
I grabbed her hair hard in my fist. I pulled her down, forcing her to look up.
Screaming “Idiot!” Katarina fell to both knees. She glared at me with the highest anger.
Through touching her hair, I could ‘Mind-read’ a little.
Half anger, one-third surprise, and a little sexual confusion.
”What? You came here wanting s*x, didn’t you.”
The height of being trashy. I spat on the face she was glaring at me with.
”You piece of trash.”
I know the language is bad.
I kept holding her hair. I shook her head a few times hard. Then I threw her down onto the floor.
I gave her stomach a light kick as she lay half down. I forced her onto her back. Then I put my foot on her lower stomach and pressed down.
”What do you think you’re doing! You little shit!”
She cursed at me in pain. But this should not be serious.
I pushed my foot into her lower stomach. I put my weight on it.
”Stop it!”
She really looked like she was in pain. So I lifted my foot and kicked her lightly to make her lie face down.
Because it was hot, she was only wearing a brassiere. The top part of her sailor suit had moved up. The skin of her lower back and her small waist could be seen.
I put my hand on that cold skin. I sent Mana through it like a pulse.
Right into her weakest spot.
”No, stop it!”
Katarina was screaming. But in her mind, she felt fear of being abused, mixed with expectation and lust.
So when I sent a stronger pulse of Mana, her mind went completely blank in an instant.
”Ah, geez. Did you already come?”
I stayed over her as she lay face-down on the floor. I whispered in her ear with disrespect. I squeezed her nice breasts through her bra. She made a sound like a groan.
”You came here wanting s*x, didn’t you.”
The strong smell of a woman.
My words were cruel. I eased the hand that was holding her breast. Instead, I touched her gently. I softly kissed her head.
”You came here wanting s*x, didn’t you.”
When I asked again in a gentle voice, she answered, “Yeah.”
Her mind was full of expectation and lust. It was like we were already in the middle of it.
”Then, suck it.”
When I stood up, she was the one who held my waist. She pulled my clothes and underwear down along with my pants.
”An Inn lady, a black woman, was sucking it just a while ago, you know.”
I told her that to hurt her. But she did not seem to care. She took it into her mouth.
On that day, we finally ‘unlocked’ her much-desired anal play.
I told her to point her anus upward. I put a lot of olive oil on the tip of an iron funnel I had borrowed from Nikole-senpai. Just touching it to her anus made her cry out.
When I tried to put it in, there was resistance. She told me to wait a moment.
Then her anus swelled. When she told me to put it in, it went in smoothly.
I poured wine into it.
At first, it came right out. But soon it stopped. When the funnel was about two-thirds full, I stopped pouring.
Then, maybe she understood. Or maybe she was used to it. She moved the muscles of her lower stomach herself. The remaining wine went in.
’I think that’s enough’
She told me through telepathy. So I slowly pulled the funnel out. Her swollen ring moved a little. A little wine came out.
The toilet was at the far end of the hallway. Patrols were coming. So I made her hold it until they passed.
I said no when she asked to at least cover herself with a blanket. I made her run down the hallway completely naked.
Seeing her, with her great body, running while covering her chest in embarrassment was exciting. Maybe it was unnecessary. But I poured wine in one more time. I made her run again. This time without covering the front.
Before I knew it, I had become a ‘cruel domestic abuser’. Not just acting like one, but becoming one naturally.
For the cruel version of me, this first anal experience was not very moving. The feeling and the angle of going in were different. And it was too close to the spine. If I sent too much Mana, it seemed to affect her nerves too strongly. So I had to hold back. I was a bit unsatisfied.
Well, I have |unpleasant memories (trauma)|. So it cannot be helped.
Last night, while I was out playing, a man who said he was a messenger for the port administrator came by. The Captain was invited to dinner tonight.
We could not say no. So our leaving was pushed back to tomorrow at the earliest.
Because of that, the ship was busy. Several groups were formed to go ashore. The plan and timing were decided very quickly.
I went to the market early in the morning with the head chef, a Young Man, an interpreter, Kenze, and for some reason, Pamela. We went to buy the watermelon that had been liked yesterday and to get ingredients for everyone.
Maybe it was the right time of day. But it was full of people.
The head chef said he wanted fresh vegetables and fruit for now. So we went to the same Granny as yesterday. But a young couple was running the place.
There, I bought all five watermelons that were lined up. I also bought dried figs and fresh pomegranates.
We went to other shops. But there were no good fresh vegetables. So we bought grain like wheat and millet.
For seafood, we bought a large basket full of squid piled up on a table. We also bought one whole small marlin about a meter long.
When they saw we were foreigners, they tried to sell us a large Giant Trevally. But the head chef himself said no.
Also, most of the salted meat and dried meat on sale was camel or goat. There was no pork. There was only a little bit of beef. So the head chef only bought a little camel and goat.
I asked him why. Meat dishes were liked even if they were preserved.
”We’ll eat it tonight, and if there’s no problem, we’ll buy a ton of it.”
He said he had eaten goat before. But this would be his first time for camel.
[PHASE_3_COMPLETE_SOURCE][END_PHASE_3_OUTPUT]
After shopping, the pair of us went back to the ship. But Pamela wanted to look around a bit more. So we walked around without purpose for a while. I even ended up on the street with the fabric shops. I did not like that.
Kenze and I—along with Pamela—bought some of the loose, locally-worn clothing and a niqab1 to hide my face. I also had Pamela borrow a set of light, breathable clothes for the heat.
Partway through, we met Chief Gida. She was leading Squad Leader Fredys and some deck crewmen back. Pamela had healed the bruises on her face. But she still seemed to keep a little distance from me.
”As I thought, there is no timber or coal to be found here,” Fredys said, clearly disappointed.
I said we should check with the money changers we used yesterday. I noted that at the very least, we could move using sail power. Sadly, they had no coal either. And the firewood was very expensive.
But when we told them our planned route, they offered to sell us a map. When I looked at it, it was a very big thing. About the size of a tatami mat2. It was simple. But it clearly showed the Arabian Peninsula and the eastern coastline of the Southern Continent. It even had something that looked like the Cape of Good Hope. It did not have the western coast of the Southern Continent and the Antarctic. But it had Madagascar and other islands. And it had an equator line drawn across it. Looking closely, I could see the rough borders between the capital of the Nymphai Kingdom (where we were going) and the Dwarf Kingdom of Kush far to the south.
”I mean, it is a nice map, but isn’t one gold coin (about a million yen) a bit too much?”
Chief Gida did not want to buy it. But I said it was necessary. For the sake of the country, it was worth more than a hundred million yen. When we returned to the ship, I took the chart to the bridge to plan our course to Nymphai. The scale was rough. But it gave us a good mental idea.
I called for Maria to check it against the memories of Princess Nikaure. She said it was mostly correct. She changed our arrival time at the Royal Capital to about twenty days from now. It seems the princess remembers a current flowing south along the Southern Continent.
”Twenty days, huh.”
The Captain let out a breath. Going there would take twenty days. But since the current would be against us on the return trip, we were looking at forty days of travel alone. If we added talks or possible fights, we had to plan for at least two months. Food and water could be managed by loading up in this port. But water was the real problem. From here to the Royal Capital, the Southern Continent was almost entirely desert.
”That’s rough. We can’t really count on rain, either,” I noted.
Maria then shared a wild idea. “If we run out of water, couldn’t we just head a bit further south and find a way to manage?”
It was true. Even on the map, the areas south of the Nymphai Royal Capital were not marked as desert. They had trees. And being near the equator, it was like Kenya on Earth. It would not be a desert. But was it worth going that far?
”I see. I suppose we have no other choice, then.”
The Captain seemed to agree. If we were not careful, it could take us three months to get back to this port.
”On the way back, if we sail out to sea for about three days, we’ll clear the currents and catch the winds heading north. If all goes well, we could make it from the Royal Capital back to the tip of the Southern Continent in about a month.”
It would be further as the crow flies. But fighting the current is very hard. I guess the Amazonesses do it that way.
”Hey, there are a few port towns on the Lemurian Sea side of the Arabian Peninsula. Isn’t it possible the people who took Rosa are planning to go back to Nymphai from there?”
The Gulf of Aden (sea) just outside the Red Sea was very curved. This meant you would have to go around a lot to reach the tip of the Southern Continent. But if you took a land route and went south from the north side of the peninsula, it would be the shortest route to the tip.
”Moving by land first, then?”
”That’s a possibility.”
In fact, even if we had not stepped in, it felt like they were planning to go somewhere by carriage. It made perfect sense if they wanted to cut across the peninsula by land.
”Let’s ask the money changers tomorrow how long the carriage ride takes.”
The Captain and Maria both agreed with me.
”Alright. Tomorrow, we finish loading supplies, and we set sail immediately.”
Chief Gida held up a hand. “That won’t work. The slavery market does not open until the day after tomorrow.”
According to her, even though the port was big, it did not have permanent slave traders. A market was only held in the port square once every ten days. That day was the day after tomorrow. She wanted to wait so she could sell the slaves we had picked up in Palermo.
”Ah… I see.”
The Captain looked at me. He was clearly troubled. Do not look at me—I am not the one who decided this.

Summary:
The protagonist fails to catch Rosa at the port and thinks about going to the Nymphai Kingdom. After a night out with the crew in Hodain, he returns to a fight with Katarina. He handles it by acting like a ‘cruel domestic abuser’. The chapter ends with a market trip to get supplies for the ship’s late leaving.
The crew successfully does their food shopping. But they face delays while looking around a local market town. They get a rare map of the Southern Continent. This starts a complex talk about water and travel routes. The final choice to sail is stopped by the chief’s reminder of an upcoming slavery market. The protagonist is left in an awkward spot.

Trivia:
The protagonist uses a metal funnel borrowed from Nikole-senpai for the anal play scene with Katarina.
The crew plans their shore leaves on the ship. Pamela, Kenze, and Kai are named as earlier partners.
Roland-hanchou is clearly noted by the protagonist as only liking men.
The market Granny has been replaced by a young couple. This shows a change in local sellers.
The ship is avoiding pork and focusing on camel and goat for their supplies in Hodain.
The protagonist has inner conflict about buying a map worth a million yen. He says it is as important as the country’s budget.
The map shows the real places of the Nymphai Kingdom and the Kingdom of Kush. This gives a key strategic tool.
The water supply problem requires a dangerous detour further south. This could make the trip longer by months.
The crew’s choice to stay for the slavery market is driven by money needs, not personal wish. This shows the practical nature of the crew’s work.
