Volume 8 Chapter 8 The Blundering Man?


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 ”Meta, it’s getting light outside,” Daisuke said.


 ”Ah… it’s already morning, isn’t it? Then, one last time… please…♡” Meta replied.


 Responding to Meta’s lingering plea, I emptied my final load deep inside her.


 I kissed Meta as she trembled with satisfaction, finally bringing our night to a close.


 We really had gone at it all night long, just like I’d promised.


 Since I’d set up a soundproofing barrier, the three in the next room shouldn’t have lost any sleep.


 Still, Meta was low-key incredible.


 I wasn’t going full throttle the entire time, obviously, but she never once asked me to stop.


 She didn’t even pass out; she actually had enough left in the tank to beg for one last round at dawn.


 I took a shower, changed my clothes, and cast Refresh on both myself and Meta before leaving the bedroom.


 I cleaned up the bed and the sheets using Water Magic to handle the aftermath.


 On the way to the living room, Meta—who was practically radiating heart marks—clung to my arm as we walked.


 ”I didn’t think you’d actually want me until morning… I’m so happy♡” Meta said.


 ”It’s only because you’re so irresistible,” I replied.


 ”Thank you♡” she said.


 Even though my physical condition was fine thanks to Healing Magic, seeing Meta’s smile—which didn’t show a hint of exhaustion despite the all-nighter—was its own kind of therapy.


 (During the post-coital talk, I’d mentioned that I was a Transferee¹—that even though I looked young, I was actually a guy pushing forty. She just got weirdly hyped, saying, “I knew you were a messenger of the gods, Daisuke-sama, but so that’s how it is!” She doesn’t have a malicious bone in her body, but I’m a little worried. I hope she doesn’t end up starting some weird cult…)

 ”Good morning, Master!” Camilla cried.


 ”Morning, Camilla,” I said.


 As soon as I hit the living room, Camilla lunged at me.


 I caught her and rubbed her head like I always did.


 Now that Camilla was officially one of my lovers, she didn’t hesitate to glom onto me even when the others were around.


 We’d cleared this with the other four yesterday, and they’d all been cool with it.


 ”Morning,” Juliet said.


 ”Good morning♪” Sylvie added.


 ”Morning, Daisuke,” said Ines.


 ”Morning, everyone,” I replied.


 I gave my lovers each a light hug and patted Liese and Ilse on the head as we traded greetings.


 ”Daisuke, I’d like a kiss too,” Ines demanded.


 ”I mean, sure, but… why the ‘too’?” I asked.


 Ines cornered me just as I finished the rounds. I didn’t remember snubbing her specifically.


 ”Last night, you kissed everyone else in exchange for keeping that secret during the quest, didn’t you? It’s not fair that I was the only one left out,” Ines said.


 ”Oh, right. That,” I said.


 It was true. Ines had been fast asleep, so I hadn’t kissed her when I dealt with the others. She seemed a little pouty about it, but honestly, I was more than happy to oblige.


 ”Come here, Ines,” I said.


 ”Ah… mmm…♡” Ines moaned.


 I pulled Ines in and kissed her repeatedly until she was satisfied.


 Her face grew flushed, melting into a look that was pure s*x.


 The sensation of her massive breasts—which were a bit more pillowy and substantial than Meta’s—felt incredible as they pressed against me.


 It felt like she was intentionally crushing them into my chest.


 (She definitely knows I’m a breast man.)


 ”You satisfied now, Ines?” I asked.


 ”Haa…♡ I’m still curious about what you were up to, Daisuke, but after that, I guess I can let it slide♡” Ines replied.


 That breathy sigh was doing dangerous things to my crotch, but I had to tell myself that going back to bed this early was off the table.


* * *


 ”I forgot to mention this yesterday, but there’s something I need to tell you all,” I said.


 ”What now? Did you screw something up again?” Juliet asked, eyeing me with suspicion.


 Ines and Sylvie just gave me wry smiles. (Being labeled the ‘blunder guy’ feels a bit uncalled for.)


 ”It’s not that… I don’t think. It’s just that an acquaintance said they might drop by soon,” I said.


 ”An acquaintance? Someone from your old party?” Ines asked.


 ”Those guys are more like friends. No, this is an Oni named Tomoe I met during the last job. Meta, did you see her at the tavern in the village?” I asked.


 ”Um, I think I might have, but we didn’t talk, so I don’t really remember,” Meta said.


 ”Well, fair enough,” I said.


 ”What’s she like?” Sylvie asked.


 ”She said she likes booze and smoked cheese, but I don’t know much else. Oh, she apparently goes by the title ‘Curse-Killing Oni’². Ever heard of her?” I asked.


 ”It sounds familiar, but I can’t quite place it,” Juliet said.


 ”Yeah. I’ve heard the name somewhere, but I can’t remember the details,” Ines added.


 ”I haven’t been an adventurer long enough to hear about her,” Sylvie replied.


 She was clearly famous, but the fact that nobody had a solid lead meant she’d probably been out of the spotlight for at least a decade.


 ”Master, is this Tomoe-sama a woman?” Camilla asked.


 ”Yeah. She looks even younger than you, Camilla, but she’s definitely the real deal. She might even be stronger than me,” I said.


 ”What!?” everyone shouted in unison.


 (They seemed shocked, but honestly, I’m sure there are plenty of people stronger than me right now.)


 ”You don’t look like you’re joking,” Juliet muttered.


 ”You really meet some incredible people, Daisuke-sama♡” Meta said.


 ”…Whatever. What the hell do you have to do to run into someone like that?” Juliet asked, clearly giving up on trying to understand my luck.


 ”Honestly, I’m not even sure. She saw something in me and took a liking to me, but I couldn’t tell you what it was,” I said.


 ”Typical Daisuke. So vague,” Juliet sighed.


 ”Hey, we were in the middle of a hunt. I didn’t have time for a long chat. Look, the reason doesn’t matter. Just make sure you treat her with respect if she shows up while I’m out. She’s dangerous,” I warned.


 ”If she’s your guest, we have no reason to be hostile,” Ines said.


 ”Exactly. Especially if she’s that powerful,” Sylvie added.


 ”She isn’t some weirdo, is she?” Juliet asked.


 ”I… think she’s fine,” I said.


 Tomoe was definitely weird.


 She spent her mornings wandering around drinking and hitting people with curse skills.


 But she wasn’t malicious, and she didn’t seem like a total psychopath.


 As long as nobody picked a fight, it would be fine.


 ”You sure about that?” Juliet pressed.


 ”Probably,” I said.


 ”But why would she come all this way to see you, Daisuke-sama?” Meta asked.


 ”Who knows? She seemed bored out of her mind. Maybe she just needs a distraction,” I said.


 ”And you just invited a loose cannon like that over for a visit?” Juliet asked, exasperated.


 ”She didn’t feel that dangerous at the time. You’ll be fine, Juliet. Just keep your guard up, okay?” I said.


 ”Fine, fine. I get it,” Juliet sighed.


 (I didn’t have much to go on besides a gut feeling, but my Intuition and Danger Sense skills weren’t pinging at all. If those two aren’t worried, then there’s nothing to freak out about.)

 It had been a while since our last dungeon crawl.


 The plan for the morning was to oversee the training for the three girls, then spend the afternoon helping Liese grind experience.


 By evening, I’d be soloing for cash and my own levels.


 If I wanted to stand a chance against that dragon, I needed to hit a higher bracket fast.


 Besides, you can never have too much money.


 ”Alright, let’s head out,” I said.


 ”Right!” Camilla cheered.


 ”Yes,” Liese said.


 ”Let’s do this!” Ilse cried.


 I led the three of them toward the dungeon. Meta’s new group, the Gale Party, had already left; we’d seen them off with hugs earlier.


 ”Let’s start with a Crow³ and see how you handle it,” I suggested.


 ”Understood,” Liese said.


 ”You got it!” Camilla added.


 ”Man, it feels like forever since I’ve seen a Crow,” Ilse muttered.


 Camilla had been bragging about how much work they’d put in while I was gone, and she wasn’t lying.


 Even though they’d stayed on a safer floor, they were clearing monsters at double the rate of a standard party.


 Camilla was the driving force, apparently.


 Liese loved the training, but Ilse was already whining about being ‘sick of Sheep.’ Still, Ilse had managed to hit level 17.


 She puffed out her chest with pride.


 (Keep acting tough, kid. I’m definitely getting my hands on those breasts tonight.)


 We squared off against a Crow on the fourth floor.


 It was their first time back there in a bit, but they handled it easily.


 I was actually stunned by how aggressive Camilla had become.


 No wonder their kill count was through the roof.


* * *


 In the afternoon, I headed back to drop Camilla and Ilse off with the Yamato Nadeshiko party so I could focus on Liese’s grind.


 Rin had been stuck without Camilla all week, so I figured she was probably dying to see her.


 ”Took you long enough,” Rin said.


 ”I didn’t expect you to be waiting outside,” I replied.


 Rin was standing right by the inn.


 She immediately snatched Camilla up and buried her face in her chest—or rather, she just gave her a massive hug.


 (Man, I wish she’d do that to me.) The Yamato Nadeshiko girls were looking for a house to rent, but they were still at the inn for now.


 It sounded like they’d found a place but were being extra cautious.


 Very on-brand for Yumiko.


 ”Alright, we’re heading out,” I said.


 ”Bye, Master! Mwah!♡” Camilla chirped, planting a kiss right on my lips.


 ”Wait, what!?” Rin sputtered.


 ”See ya!” Ilse yelled.


 Camilla was being way more bold with the PDA now that we were official.


 She didn’t care who was watching.


 Rin, usually the cool one, looked like her brain had just crashed.


 Since it looked like she’d be ‘buffering’ for a while, I just gave her a wave and we took off.

 Summary:


 After an all-nighter with Meta, Daisuke informs his group about the impending visit from Tomoe, a powerful Ogre. The team then heads to the dungeon for leveling, where the girls show significant improvement. Finally, Daisuke drops some of the girls off with the Yamato Nadeshiko party, shocking Rin with a public display of affection from Camilla.


 —


 Trivia:


 - Daisuke is around 40 years old mentally despite his youthful appearance.

 - Daisuke uses Water Magic for cleaning up after s*x.

 - Camilla is now officially recognized as Daisuke’s lover by the whole group.

 - The fourth floor of the dungeon features ‘Crow’ type monsters.

 - The Yamato Nadeshiko party is looking to move from an inn to a rental house.

 - Ilse is now Level 17


 —


 Character Insight:


 Camilla is becoming increasingly bold and public about her relationship with Daisuke, seeking to solidify her status. Ines shows a bit of jealousy or a desire for equal ‘rewards’ (kisses), indicating the competitive but open nature of Daisuke’s harem. Juliet remains the ‘straight man’ of the group, grounding Daisuke’s often chaotic lifestyle with skepticism.


 —


 Lore And Worldbuilding Context:


 The author often uses the ‘blundering man’ trope to move Daisuke into situations with high-level NPCs like Tomoe without making him seem like an intentional mastermind.

 Glossary:


1 Transferee (Tenseisha): A person reincarnated or summoned from another world, usually modern Japan.

2 Curse-Killing Oni: An ‘Oni’ refers to a demon or ogre in Japanese folklore; Tomoe’s title implies a specialization in neutralizing or utilizing curses.

3 Crow: Likely a low-to-mid tier dungeon mob, though in this setting, they appear to be significantly more dangerous than standard crows if they require a party to handle them.


Notes:


• Daisuke – Mid-40s Japanese transferee, regressed in age and level-grinding, with a youthful face from the Green God’s blessing, modest armor, one-handed sword, and buckler. Master of the household and leader of the Gale Party, he hides his dragon-slaying feats while managing a growing harem—including Ines, Regina, Dietlinde, Cassandra, Rin, Meta, and newly acquired Camilla—mentoring them all with strategic, gamified empathy. Possesses Endless Stamina Skills, balances dungeon quests with tender, calculated care for each lover, recently returned from a Knights’ Order mission where he fulfilled every one’s wish while protecting them.

• Meta – A mature, curvy priestess with long blonde hair and a soft, pillowy figure, she glows with a pink aura of gratitude toward Daisuke, her lover and fellow adventurer—once a high-ranking duchess and abusive wife who now despises men no more, having been transformed by their bond. A devoted member of the Gale Party, she spent the entire night with Daisuke, currently in heat, yet cunningly plays the role of a cute, loyal hostage to Moritz while secretly planning to move into his house upon returning to the Capital.

• Camilla – Fourteen-year-old fox-beastkin, ~140 cm, thin and fluffy-tailed—tail thumps when excited, ears twitch when nervous—wears simple accessories and a slave-marked ear. Shy with strangers but deeply affectionate and energetic with Daisuke, whom he sees as both father and lover; craves his scent, headpats, and approval, fears abandonment. Showed remarkable resolve against Yumiko, helps with chores, favored by Rin, rescued from a duel with Gerta, and despite trying to act grown-up, still melts at his touch.

• Juliet – 150 cm cat‑kin beastwoman with blue bob hair, expressive ears, puff‑tail, large chest, hot‑pants, crop‑top and short jacket. A tsundere Gale Party instructor who dual‑wields a two‑handed sword and bears the Idaten skill. She teases Daisuke, scolds his blunders, relies on him, and alone soothes her loneliness; when drunk she becomes persistent and stern.

• Sylvie – Petite elf (140 cm) with pointed ears, long wavy blonde hair and a fairy‑like smile. Usually in a white blouse and embroidered yellow forest‑scented skirt; for dates she wears a gothic‑lolita dress with lace‑up boots.

• Liese – Standing 170 cm, she is a Grey Dragonewt spearman with grey-blue hair, thick horns, and grey scales along her neck and limbs—daughter of a Red Dragonewt father and Blue Dragonewt mother. As Daisuke’s disciplined vanguard and first slave, she is earnest, hardworking, and Level 19, relentlessly training to gain experience. Polite and composed, she guides the other girls with quiet authority, her tail thumping subtly to betray emotion, yet always maintaining decorum—even during meals. She is happiest when Daisuke returns, loyal, dutiful, and unwavering in her service.

• Ilse – Seventeen-year-old tiger-type beastman archer with pointed ears, a thick tail, and a petite, boyish frame—once a merchant-guild worker turned bandit, now Daisuke’s loyal companion after being rescued. A beast-kin slave with Mind skill, she’s stubborn, loves sweets, dislikes fighting ‘Sheep’ monsters, and treats Daisuke like a guy-friend, teasing him, demanding “aahn” feeding, flirting for rewards, blending sharp common sense with perverted humor and unwavering loyalty, while possessing Faint Resistance and a level-17 status.

• Tomoe – An Oni known as the ‘Curse-Killing Oni.’ A master of hexes who looks young (loli) but is extremely old and powerful. Has red eyes, white skin, long black hair, and wear Yukata. Holding a fan.

• Rin – Tall, large-breasted B-rank adventurer with long shaggy hair and thick chest armor, exuding a cool-beauty façade; quiet, blunt, and intuitively brilliant at drawing, she dominates Daisuke’s group as a member of Yamato Nadeshiko, wields ice magic for first aid, and is profoundly sensitive to slave mistreatment. Once unapproachable, she now shares deep bonds with her team—especially Camilla, whom she shields fiercely, plays with, and feels indebted to as a rescued beast-man child. Weekly, she visits Camilla and subtly expresses quiet interest in Daisuke through an indirect kiss via chopstick exchange, while planning to visit his home.

• Yumiko – At 155 cm and 17, the Bow Saint and eldest Transferee is a former corporate worker and Kyudo enthusiast who serves as the maternal anchor of the Yamato Nadeshiko party—overprotective, emotionally grounded, and the group’s moral compass. She coordinates the transferee girls, plans their move into a rented house, and hosts monthly Girls’ Night Outs, while also acting as their gossip hub and emotional refuge. Ex-wife of a Sage, she seeks closure and nurtures Daisuke, the veteran housewife and cook, blending her disciplined calm with fierce, motherly devotion to the younger girls.
