Volume 6 Chapter 1 Preparation of the Heart
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Last night’s fantasy partner was Regina-san. Just before that, I had the real one let me indulge a bit, but there really is nothing quite like being buried in large breasts to feel healed. Their shape and texture are wonderful, and her sensitivity is high. Since we’ve done quite a variety of plays 1, there isn’t much room left for imagination; depending on my mood, I can just call up ‘true memories.’ I wonder what kind of play we should do next time.
Since it’s Yellow Day, a day of rest, I usually sleep in unless there are specific plans. Liese, being the serious type, throws herself into training as soon as she finishes the housework. Camilla and Ilse help out too, but once they’re done, Camilla sticks to me while Ilse goes back to sleep. Everyone spends their time as they like, which I think is for the best.
* * *
Today I’m heading out alone for lunch with Yuko. I don’t want to be a bad influence on the other three.
Work-wise, things seem to have settled down lately. It’s expected that monsters will become active soon, so new requests are apparently thinning out. The unmotivated Yuko was actually rejoicing at the decrease in workload.
Thanks to her being in a good mood, the ‘damage’ I took was relatively light, but there’s no guarantee it’ll stay that way. I’ll just pray this peace lasts as long as possible.
* * *
After returning home, I take Camilla to the library. Since I don’t have much time today, this is a precious chance to give her some attention. She’s gotten used to things and doesn’t seem lonely anymore, but she still tells me she wants to stay together whenever possible.
Ilse, on the other hand, says she’s had enough of the library. She was exhausted after the unfamiliar reading last time. Today, she’s going to try a bow practice method she learned from Yumiko-san. It’s a bit surprising, but she can be quite serious too.
Liese is practicing with her spear as usual. Unless she puts in this much effort, her skill levels as an Elder Race won’t rise easily. Thanks to her hard work, her spear skill looks like it’ll hit level 5 by the time she reaches level 20.
When I gave the honey dishes to Clarissa-san, she was delighted. It wasn’t quite the level of reaction I got from the cosmetics, but she gave me a big, beaming hug, which made me happy too. I hope her affection level is rising.
I ran into Dietlinde-san as well and gave some to her. She tried to decline at first, but when I told her, “I made this specifically for you, so please enjoy it,” she finally accepted. I’m sure it wasn’t my imagination that she looked a little happy.
Apparently, Dietlinde-san doesn’t usually wear makeup. A shame. Since cosmetics are luxury goods, she wants to avoid standing out at work—especially with people like Randolph and Henriette around. She did say she’d wear it for our date, so I’ll look forward to that.
* * *
Now then, for the final and most anticipated event of the day: my date with the Gale Party. We met at the usual fountain square, and I made sure to dress up for the occasion.
”Sorry to keep you waiting,” I said.
”Sorry to have kept you waiting!”
”Apologies. Did I make you wait long?”
”Ohh, wonderful!”
All three were dressed in chic attire. Juliet wore an off-the-shoulder fishtail dress—the kind that’s short in the front and long in the back. This one was quite short, paired with low heels that suited her active personality perfectly.
Sylvie wore a princess-line dress with a soft, puffy silhouette that was incredibly cute. The ruffles suited her long, wavy hair. Ines wore a mermaid-line dress with a halter neck that emphasized her large chest. It was a perfect fit for her curvaceous body. Her ‘Eroticism Combat Power’ was truly off the charts.
All three were wearing makeup they’d practiced with Misaki-san, making them look even more beautiful. While not a total transformation, they had a radiant, shimmering beauty.
”You all look great. You’re always beautiful, but today you’re even more lovely.”
”…Thanks,” Juliet muttered.
”Thank you! You look wonderful too, Daisuke-san.”
”Indeed. It suits you, Daisuke.”
”Thanks. Well then, shall we?”
Since they were in dresses, we moved by carriage. A long walk would be difficult. In the four-person box carriage, I sat next to Ines. She held my arm against her chest, and I let myself enjoy the blissful sensation.
”We could have walked, you know?”
”No, it would be tough in those outfits. Besides, in here, I get the three of you all to myself.”
”Hehe, I suppose that’s true.”
”There you go saying stupid things again…”
”I’m glad to hear you say it, though.”
Sylvie was all smiles, clearly enjoying herself. Juliet’s sharp tongue was standard, but her red face as she looked away proved she was just being shy. In the beginning, she would have just looked exasperated; the change was palpable.
Ines seemed to have gotten used to things enough to stop ‘overheating,’ but her face was still flushed. When she pulled my arm tighter against her, I gave her a light kiss.
”Ah… honestly, didn’t I tell you surprise attacks are forbidden?”
”Sorry. You were just too cute.”
”It’s our turn next, right?”
”…I guess so.”
Ines’s tone was rebuking, but her expression was happy. Since we were out of the public eye in the carriage, she allowed the kiss. Sylvie immediately chimed in with her own request; the enclosed space made them all more proactive.
At the restaurant, we enjoyed a meal focused on summer vegetables and fish. Since we’re far from the sea, it was river fish, but it was prepared perfectly with no fishy smell.
As we finished dessert, I brought up the important topic.
”Today is the last ‘reward’ date. Thank you for everything up until now, you three.”
”We’re the ones who should be thanking you,” Ines replied.
”That’s right.”
”I… I had fun too.”
Juliet finally spoke her mind honestly. She hesitated, but it was a big step forward.
”So, first, I’d like to give you a commemorative gift as a token of my thanks.”
I took out the gifts. They looked like rugged hexagonal pendant tops, but inside they were high-level magic tools.
”I want you to wear these along with the pendants I gave you before. The design is a bit lackluster right now, so let me replace the casings later.”
”What kind of effects do they have this time?”
”Knowing you, they’re probably over-specced, aren’t they?”
”I’m just happy you were thinking of us.”
”I’ve added Binding Resistance, Danger Sense, and MP Recovery Speed Increase. Of course, they’re user-locked.”
I’d based the performance on my previous plans but swapped Presence Detection for Danger Sense. I chose Binding Resistance for Ropers and the upcoming Treant fights, and MP Recovery Speed to offset the increased consumption of the other skills. Using skills through magic tools also allows one to gain skill experience, effectively ‘power-leveling’ them.
”You really are…”
”Is it no good?”
”It’s not that, but without the user-lock, wouldn’t these be worth over a hundred gold coins?”
”Yes… they’re so expensive my hands are shaking.”
”Don’t worry about it. Even if someone uses Appraisal, they’ll just look like plain accessories.”
I’d added a ‘Disguise’ enchantment to avoid unnecessary trouble.
”…Unbelievable. These wouldn’t be out of place in a royal treasury.”
”You’re out of your mind.”
”That’s harsh.”
”Hehe, but you appreciate the sentiment, don’t you, Juliet-san?”
”…I guess. It’s certainly helpful.”
”Then, will you accept them?”
”Of course. I’ll treasure it.”
”Thank you very much!”
”…Thanks. It’s just like you to overdo it.”
They had their complaints about the specs, but they accepted. That was just the opening act, though. Now for the main event.
”Since the ‘reward’ dates are ending, can we talk about next week and beyond? First, Ines… we’re still going on dates, right?”
”It’s what I asked for. If you’re okay with it, Daisuke, I definitely want to continue.”
”Of course. Thank you.”
I wasn’t worried about Ines, but hearing it clearly made me feel at ease. We locked eyes, held hands, and shared a light kiss. Her green eyes were slightly moist.
”…I have something to talk about too, but it can wait.”
”I can hear it now?”
”No, talk to those two first.”
”Alright. Then later. Sylvie, Juliet—I have a request. These dates have been wonderful. Ines is my precious lover, but you two are also irreplaceable to me. Sylvie, Juliet… will you become my girlfriends?”
”I’d love to! Being with you is fun, and I’m looking forward to seeing you get even stronger.”
”Thank you, Sylvie.”
She accepted easily. It reminded me of when she said she’d date someone who could one-shot a Wyvern. She might not be a total meathead, but strength is clearly a big factor for her.
”What about you, Juliet?”
She stayed silent. My heart sank—was it a no? Even if Sylvie said yes, being rejected now would sting.
”…I suppose if you’re that insistent, it wouldn’t be bad.”
She finally answered, her ‘dere’ side finally showing. It wasn’t a rejection. She was likely just too embarrassed to say yes immediately, or she was testing my resolve. One last push was needed.
”I really want you to be my girlfriend, Juliet. Every date we’ve had over the last seven months has been the highlight of my week.”
”…I had… a good time too.”
”I want us to be together. From now on, forever.”
”Forever, huh? …Fine. I’ll be your girlfriend.”
”Thank you, Juliet.”
She finally gave her OK. It seemed the word ‘forever’ was what did it.
”Then it’s our turn for a kiss, right?”
”A-ah, right. Of course.”
Sylvie was surprisingly proactive. I leaned in to hug her, but she beat me to the punch and kissed me first. I forgot she prefers being the one to initiate.
”Hehe! Now it’s your turn, Juliet-san.”
”…Thanks, Sylvie.”
I embraced Juliet next. Her chest was surprisingly large; it was always a struggle to keep my composure.
”You’ll be okay… right?”
”Of course. I’ll take care of you.”
”Yeah, that is just like you… Mmn.”
I pressed my lips against hers. Her soft lips were addictive. I kept the kiss long, and she squeezed me tight in return. She might have been cautious about the title of ‘girlfriend,’ but she didn’t seem to mind the physical affection.
”Now all three of us are officially Daisuke’s lovers.”
”Yeah. Thank you again. I’m really happy.”
”Ines, you had something to say, right?”
”Th-that’s right… um… about that…”
Ines was fidgeting, her face bright red. A beautiful woman looking that bashful is a dangerous thing; it made me want to pounce on her.
”Sorry to have made you wait. I’ve finally… found the ‘preparation of my heart.’”
”Wait, does that mean…?”
”…Please… make me a ‘woman’.”
”!! Thank you, Ines. I’m glad you decided.”
She had asked to wait for anything beyond a kiss when she first confessed. I wasn’t in a hurry, but she’d clearly been thinking about it. In this world, s*x had always been a transaction or a reward—never the result of actual love. I was finally moving forward with a real lover. Since I never managed this in my previous life, I was deeply moved.
”Is tonight okay?”
”Of course.”
She invited me with her usual dignified, straightforward gaze. We embraced and shared a deep, heated kiss. I could feel her trembling slightly.
”We’re next in line, right?”
”…I’ll think about it.”
Sylvie is as aggressive as ever, but Juliet might take a while longer. Well, there’s no rush. I’ve got a big night ahead of me, and I’m more than ready.

Summary:
Daisuke spends his ‘Yellow Day’ managing household dynamics and delivering luxury gifts to his associates, Clarissa and Dietlinde. The focus then shifts to a high-stakes ‘Reward’ date with the Gale Party members: Ines, Sylvie, and Juliet. During the date, Daisuke gifts them advanced defensive magic tools and officially proposes that Sylvie and Juliet become his girlfriends. Both accept, though Juliet requires a more heartfelt push. The chapter culminates with Ines declaring she is emotionally ready to consummate their relationship, marking a major milestone in their romance.
—
Trivia:
- The mention of monsters becoming active ‘soon’ suggests an upcoming combat-heavy arc or a ‘Stampede’ event.
- Dietlinde’s reluctance to wear makeup at work due to Randolph and Henriette highlights workplace toxicity or political friction within her faction.
- The transition from Presence Detection to Danger Sense in the magic tools indicates the protagonist is shifting from ‘hunting’ to ‘survival’ mode for the next area.
- Ines’s trembling during the final kiss shows that despite her ‘preparation,’ she is still profoundly nervous about her first time
—
Character Insight:
The Gale Party officially transitions from a ‘contractual’ reward-based dating group to a formal harem. Ines moves from being a ‘girlfriend in name’ to seeking full intimacy. Juliet’s acceptance of the word ‘forever’ signifies her need for security over temporary passion.
—
Lore And Worldbuilding Context:
Yellow Day is established as a standardized rest day. Elder Races (like Liese) have a natural handicap in skill progression speed, necessitating high-intensity training to stay competitive with other races.
—
TL Notes:
The term ‘Eroticism Combat Power’ is a parody of the ‘Scouter’ power levels from Dragon Ball, localized to maintain the protagonist’s dorky, otaku-inflected internal monologue.
