Volume 6 Chapter 7 Long Time, No See


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 After our first time together, I walked Sylvie back to her inn. At her request, I carried her in my arms-princess style.


 ”This is wonderful,” she chirped. “I’m totally monopolizing you, Daisuke-san, so we probably shouldn’t do this often, but the physical closeness is on a whole other level. And since it’s dark, we won’t stand out too much.”


 ”True enough.”


 Unlike the neon-lit cities of my past life in Japan, even the Royal Capital is sparse on lighting. At night, there’s hardly any foot traffic outside the entertainment districts. At this level of darkness, I could get away with this without worrying about prying eyes.


 In this world, you often see parties of Giants and Humans-or maybe Half-Rings¹?-where the smaller person is just riding on the Giant’s shoulder. It always makes me wonder… how exactly do they have s*x? The size difference is just too massive. Or wait, is it that Giant-kin dicks are actually tiny? No, but considering the depth of the uterus, they couldn’t be that small…


 ”Daisuke-san?”


 ”Ah, sorry. It’s nothing.”


 I shouldn’t be spacing out over stupid crap like that. I need to focus on enjoying the skinship with Sylvie while I can. We flirted our way to the inn at a snail’s pace. She kept stealing kisses whenever she saw an opening, and man, it was a struggle to keep my self-control in check.


 ”Alright, Sylvie. See you in three days.”


 ”Yes! Thank you so much for today!”


 I caught her as she lunged in for a tight squeeze and hugged her back just as firmly. She kept the final kiss brief, thankfully. With the memory of Sylvie’s first time fresh in my head, tonight’s Private Power Generation² session is going to be incredibly productive.


* * *


 The next morning, it was back to the daily grind. Today was Liese’s day for experience farming. Morning combat training wrapped up, and after lunch, I decided to go drop Camilla and Ilse off with the Yamato Nadeshiko party. The three of us headed toward their inn. The “babysitting fee” was agreed to be honey-based cuisine. Yumiko-san and Misaki-san-who are total suckers for anything sweet-seemed to love it, and the other girls were fans too. Sweets really are the ultimate currency.


 ”Well now, if it isn’t Daisuke-shi!”


 ”Hm? Makoto? Long time no see.”


 It had been a hot minute since I’d run into the former Leemans tank and resident blacksmith. It’s been about forty days-not since I went to check out Kazuya’s “girlfriend.” Makoto was supposed to be apprenticing under Ralph-san the Dwarf, living at his forge. He’d been gunning for Ralph’s daughter, Miryam-san. Since she was there with him, they were probably out on an errand.


 ”Hello, Daisuke-san.”


 ”Hey, Miryam-san. You two out on a stroll?”


 ”Can’t you tell by looking? It is a date with the lovely Miryam-san!” Makoto declared.


 Miryam-san sighed. “Makoto-san, stop with the jokes. It’s just an errand.”


 ”M-Miryam-san… Truly, I am crestfallen…”


 He didn’t seem to be joking, but she wasn’t giving him the time of day. I thought she might be playing hard to miss, but there was zero romantic spark coming from her side. Hang in there, buddy.


 ”Hahaha… you have it rough, Makoto.”


 ”…By the way, Daisuke-shi, who are these lovely young maidens?”


 As a dedicated lolicon, Makoto was zeroed in on Liese’s group-especially Camilla, who was holding my hand. I’d sent letters regarding Liese and Camilla through Miryam-san when she was minding the shop, and I’d left a note about Ilse when I went to buy armor. Miryam-san knew them, but Makoto hadn’t met them yet.


 ”I left notes with Miryam-san, so you probably know their names, but I guess it’s your first time meeting them,” I said, looking back at the girls. “All of you, introduce yourselves.”


 ”I am Liese, a slave. It is a pleasure to meet you.”


 ”I’m Camilla. Nice to meet you.”


 ”I’m Ilse… I mean, it is Ilse. Nice to meet you.”


 Liese went first, but the shy Camilla was using her “stranger danger” formal voice. Ilse must have been spaced out, because she almost let her usual bluntness slip. Well, we weren’t in a formal setting, so whatever.


 ”I am Makoto! Blacksmith and former member of Daisuke-shi’s party!”


 ”You’re still just an apprentice blacksmith, Makoto-san.”


 He winced at Miryam’s interjection. Dwarf culture must have some strict requirements for using the title.


 ”Say, Daisuke-shi… is Camilla-shi your girlfriend?”


 ”Not a girlfriend, but all three of them are precious to me. They’re family.”


 ”Ehehe… Master…”


 As I stroked Camilla’s head while answering, she broke into a massive, doting grin. She didn’t pounce on me since we were in public, but her mood clearly skyrocketed. Meanwhile, Liese’s expression stayed flat, but her tail was wagging happily, and Ilse was puffing out her chest with a smug look. They’re all adorable.


 ”Phew… I was worried, but I suppose with those skills of yours, a girlfriend is impossible. I can rest easy.”


 ”Actually, I do have a girlfriend.”


 ”YOU… WHAT!?”


 Makoto froze in shock. I got a similar reaction from Mercedes, that self-proclaimed “noble and gallant” knight. Well, if you know the effects of my skill, “The Onanist’s Tribulation³,” that’s the natural reaction.


 ”I-I-I am stunned! But I suppose this is the fruit of your ‘labors,’ so I shall offer my congratulations! By the way, is it someone I know?”


 ”Yeah. The three girls from the Gale Party.”


 ”…Huh? Three?”


 ”Yep. All three. Ines, Sylvie, and Juliet. You know them, right?”


 ”Wha… wha… wha…”


 ”WHAT DID YOU SAAAAAY!?”


 Thwack!


 I smacked him to quiet him down. Screaming in the middle of the street is just obnoxious.


 ”Daisuke-shi! You’re dating Sylvie-shi, My Angel?! Unacceptable! This is a travesty! And all three at once?! Even with that loli-cute Camilla-shi right there?! If that’s how it is, then I challenge you to a duel for Sylvie-shi’s hand-!”


 ”Stop right there. Calm down.”


 I could empathize with his shock, so I’d been letting it slide, but a duel is a different beast. Even I can’t take that lightly.


 ”Can you even provide a Reward that’s worth Sylvie? And you might not know this, Makoto, but losing a duel is a nightmare.”


 ”Ugh… but Sylvie-shi is my ideal…”


 ”Besides… do you honestly think you can beat me? If Sylvie is on the line, I’m not holding back.”


 I triggered my Intimidation skill and leveled the pressure at him. It was only level 4, but against someone like Makoto with low fear resistance, it was a hammer blow.


 ”Guh! …Haa… I… I showed you a pathetic side of myself. I’ve calmed down. My apologies.”


 ”Don’t worry about it. I get the feeling.”


 I deactivated the skill immediately. I didn’t really need to use it, but if we actually dueled, Makoto would be the one suffering. I’d win for sure, and then he’d have to cough up a Reward. All he has is the gold he saved as an adventurer, which he likely wants to keep for a wedding fund.


 So really, half of that intimidation was out of the kindness of my heart. The other half was just because duels are a pain in the ass.


 ”Oh? If it isn’t Daisuke-dono and Makoto-dono.”


 ”Oh, Takuya? Been a while.”


 ”Ho! Takuya-shi! It has indeed been a long time!”


 Man, I’m running into everyone today. Takuya was another former member of Leemans, a Ninja. He’d quit to work at a merchant guild run by his girlfriend’s parents. Now that he’s B-Rank, he’s officially allowed to date her. I had the girls greet him, but he didn’t have much of a reaction. Unless it’s a Yandere, he couldn’t care less.


 ”Kazuya left town right after the split, and Kenta-kun sent a letter saying his party headed out after the Dungeon Upheaval. I guess that makes this a full reunion of the Leemans who stayed in the Capital.”


 ”Indeed it is, degozaru.”


 ”Takuya-shi! Listen to this! Daisuke-shi claims to be dating all three girls of the Gale Party, including My Angel Sylvie-shi!”


 ”Ah, yes. That is correct, degozaru.”


 ”Wait, you knew?”


 ”You aren’t exactly hiding it, degozaru right? I see the four of you walking together quite affectionately from time to time. I saw you on a date with Sylvie-dono just yesterday.”


 ”…Fair point. I’m not hiding it.”


 Takuya was right. If I really wanted to be stealthy, I could, but I didn’t see the point. Most people wouldn’t care who I was dating anyway.


 ”If you saw us, you should’ve said hi.”


 ”Nay, nay. I am not so tactless as to interfere with a man’s romance.”


 ”Affectionately… with Sylvie-shi…”


 Takuya is a total otaku for his Ninja roleplay, but he’s surprisingly considerate. Totally different from Makoto. Since the truth was out, Makoto had gone completely catatonic. I’ll just leave him be.


 ”So, things going well for you, Takuya? You got the green light to date since you hit B-Rank, right?”


 ”Indeed, degozaru. All is well, thanks to you. We aren’t engaged yet, but we are dating with the intent of marriage.”


 ”Glad to hear it. Congrats.”


 Takuya is into Yanderes, and he mentioned his girlfriend is one too. Digging any deeper into that sounded dangerous. I had things to do, so time to split.


 ”Sorry, I’ve got some business to attend to, so we’ll head out.”


 ”Forgive me for detaining you, degozaru.”


 ”No worries, was good to catch up. Let’s grab a drink soon. Makoto, I’m heading to the shop later, so I’ll see you then.”


 ”Sylvie-shi is…”


 Makoto was still out of it. I turned to Miryam-san. “Sorry, we’re off. Take care of him.”


 ”Yes, I’ve got him. Honestly! Makoto-san, get a grip!”


 As I walked away, I heard a loud smack behind me. Judging by the sound, Miryam-san’s level must be pretty high. She looks like a literal grade-schooler, though.


 ”Daisuke, those guys were weird,” Ilse muttered.


 ”Don’t be mean. Oh, wait, Ilse-you met them back then, right? Remember them?”


 ”No, not at all. Were they even there?”


 ”…I see.”


 If Ilse isn’t interested, she just doesn’t store the memory. She probably only remembers being picked up by Elmer-san and being “disciplined” by me. Well, I guess that’s fine.

 Summary:


 Daisuke enjoys a romantic moment with Sylvie after their first night together, carrying her home in a princess carry. The next morning, he resumes his routine of training Liese and managing his household. While dropping off Camilla and Ilse with the Yamato Nadeshiko party, he encounters his former comrades Makoto and Takuya. Makoto is shocked to learn about Daisuke’s harem-like relationship with the Gale Party and briefly challenges him to a duel. Daisuke effortlessly defuses the situation with his Intimidation skill and a reality check regarding the stakes. The encounter ends with Daisuke planning his next equipment upgrades as he moves toward the shop.


 —


 Trivia:


 - Daisuke’s Intimidation skill reaching Level 4 suggests his passive presence is becoming increasingly monstrous despite his unremarkable appearance.

 - The mention of Miryam-san’s ‘high level’ despite her appearance hints that in this world, combat power is not tied to physical stature.

 - Takuya’s mention of his yandere girlfriend being the reason he’s ‘doing well’ serves as a humorous but potentially dark contrast to Daisuke’s more standard romantic entanglements


 —


 Character Insight:


 Daisuke and Sylvie’s relationship has progressed to a deep intimacy, with Sylvie feeling a strong desire to monopolize him. Meanwhile, the dynamic with his former party members shows that while they have drifted apart to follow their own paths (blacksmithing and merchant work), a sense of camaraderie still exists, albeit one strained by Makoto’s jealousy of Daisuke’s romantic success.


 —


 Lore And Worldbuilding Context:


 New information regarding inter-species relationships (Giants and Humans) and the existence of ‘Half-Rings’ is introduced. Additionally, the ‘Duel’ system is described as a high-stakes legal mechanism where a ‘Reward’ must be wagered and the results are absolute.


 —


 TL Notes:


 The term ‘Private Power Generation’ is a classic Japanese euphemism for m**urbation, which is central to the protagonist’s specific class mechanics. The archaic speech ‘degozaru’ used by Takuya is preserved to emphasize his ninja-themed roleplay persona.
