Chapter 67 The Princess’s Hospitality


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 ”Second Princess Lashara-sama and Third Princess Felicia-sama have arrived. Shall I show them in?”


 Upon nodding at the voice of the Servant, the woman who had greeted me earlier appeared once again, bringing her younger sister along for a second meeting.


 ”Please excuse our frequent interruptions. We have been entrusted with providing hospitality by His Majesty. Would it be alright if we joined you?”


 The Princess tilted her head with a beautiful, beaming smile.


 Being sisters, they possessed similar features.


 Both were girls of a similar age to us who left a slightly mysterious impression, possessing long black hair and slanted but wide, large eyes.


 ”Yes. Of course, I don’t mind,” I replied.


 ”It will become a bit cramped, so Sir Knights, please come this way,” the Servant Kids said.


 For some reason, they led all the women, including Yui, to a separate room.


 I wondered if everyone was alright and sent a glance their way; they were grinning while looking at Senior.


 They would likely get excited over the previous topic in the room they moved to.


 ”E-Err… Hero-sama¹! If there is anything you wish to do, please do not hesitate to tell us!” Felicia said.


 For some reason, the Third Princess said that while facing toward me.


 Her elder sister sent her a sharp look as if wanting to say she was mistaken.


 ”No, the Hero is over there. Ah, but all Summoners² are called Heroes, aren’t they?” I said.


 ”T-That’s right! That’s how it is!” Felicia-chan said, flusteredly trying to cover it up.


 ”My sister is terribly sorry,” Lashara-sama said.


 ”Muu, it’s because Elder Sister didn’t tell me properly! When there is such a wonderful person here, of course I’d think he was the one!” Felicia-chan said.


 ”Sia!? You are in front of guests… behave yourself!” Lashara-sama said.


 ”Ugh…” Felicia-chan said, looking like she was about to cry.


 ”Eh, did you really think I was wonderful?” I asked.


 Since I felt a bit sorry for her, I took her hand and said that to her.


 ”Y-Yes… Y-You are very cool…” Felicia-chan said.


 ”Thanks. You two are cute as well. Right, Senior?” I asked.


 ”Y-Yeah! I think… you are both very beautiful?” Senior said.


 He joined in properly despite being reserved, which softened the expressions of the two girls.


 (They were probably given orders by their father about the fate of the country and such, so I thought I’d cooperate to some extent since I felt bad for them. Well, even so, if Senior doesn’t actually show any interest, they’ll just have to give up.)


 After that, I worked hard to make the four-way conversation lively.


 I focused mainly on Senior’s stories, so there were many tales of Subjugation³ from that side, but since the two Princesses seemed to enjoy listening, I could call it a success for now.


 Senior also seemed somewhat relaxed, so I whispered to him secretly.


 ”Senior, which one is your type?” I asked.


 ”Eh… No, but I have…” Senior said.


 ”No, I told you this isn’t that kind of world. Which one?” I asked.


 ”…Felicia-sama, I guess,” Senior said.


 ”Oh, nice. Sia-chan, you’re Hero-sama’s type!” I said.


 ”””Eh!?””” Senior and the two girls said.


 ”Wait, weren’t you told to come and woo him?” I asked.


 ”But, I didn’t think I would be chosen…” Sia-chan said, wandering her gaze with a bright red face.


 ”Alright, let’s change seats. Lashara-chan, is it okay if I sit next to you?” I asked.


 ”Y-Yes… Is it really alright for it to be me?” Lashara-sama asked.


 ”Yeah. I’d be happy if the cute Lashara-chan sat next to me, you know?” I said.


 ”T-Then, p-please excuse… me…” Lashara-sama said.


 The nervous girl swayed and started to fall, so I reflexively hugged her and sat her right on my crotch, just as I would with my own girls.


 ”A-Are you okay…?” I asked.


 ”I-It is a very great honor,” Lashara-sama said.


 She replied to the place I had seated her, making it impossible for me to move her away.


 (Well, I personally don’t mind.)


 ”Elder Sister is unfair… Hero-sama…” Sia-chan said.


 ”Eh!? Are you okay with me? Isn’t Ibuki-kun better?” Senior asked.


 ”Both of you are very wonderful… Do you… dislike me?” Sia-chan asked.


 ”No, I didn’t say that!?” Senior said.


 ”Yay! ♪” Sia-chan said.


 Showing herself to be very good at acting spoiled, Sia-chan quickly sat on his lap and took control of Senior.


 She secretly sent a hand signal to the Servant.


 Immediately, several Servant Kids who were waiting by the wall bowed silently and left the room.


 ”Your younger sister is quite the player, isn’t she?” I asked.


 ”I-I am… so sorry…” Lashara-sama said.


 ”No no, it’s not a bad thing. But, are you really okay with this side? Won’t you get scolded if you don’t go to Senior?” I asked.


 ”No, as long as Sia has been accepted, there is no problem. Besides, I am damaged goods…” Lashara-sama said.


 ”You didn’t have to go out of your way to say that…” Sia-chan said, looking dissatisfied.


 ”Hmm? If you have scars, shall I heal them for you?” I asked.


 ”No, it is not scars… The thing is, I was once kidnapped by those seeking the blood of the Royal Family… Ah! If this is unpleasant, I will bring someone else right now!” Lashara-sama said.


 I caught her as she tried to pull away and hugged her deeply.


 ”Eh, I don’t care about things like virginity. If you’re okay with a one-night stand, I’m down to do it right now,” I said.


 When I whispered that into her ear, Lashara-sama’s body gave a violent jolt.


 ”Ah, so that’s how it is! ♪ Hero-sama, Sia wants to too~ ♡” Sia-chan said.


 ”Eh, wait, doing that to a Princess is… that’s bad, right!?” Senior asked.


 He looked at me as if asking if it was a joke.


 ”Lashara-chan, since we are royalty, we don’t know the common sense of this world. Do you think it’s bad?” I asked.


 ”No, I believe it would be welcomed for either of you… Both Sia and I have problems, so we have no partners…” Lashara-sama said.


 When I asked about the problems, Lashara-sama mentioned the previous matter.


 Sia-chan explained that the Duchy of Dole had been demanding her for a long time, and she was currently in a state of politely refusing.


 Because of that, she couldn’t form any engagements.


 ”Hero-sama, Sia is scared. Please save me~” Sia-chan said.


 Senior made a pained face at her, as she seemed quite genuinely tearful.


 (He seems to have been influenced quite a bit already. I can’t really talk, but that was fast, wasn’t it?)


 ”Eh, I-If I can be of help… Ibuki-kun, it’s fine, right?” Senior asked.


 ”No, you heard the discussion earlier. I’m going to do it either way,” I said.


 I told Senior that we said we’d crush Dole, and he looked relieved.


 ”I-I see. Then Sia-chan, it’s okay. It’ll work out,” Senior said.


 ”Th-Thank you so much~~!” Sia-chan said.


 She hugged him tightly.


 ”Umm, will you really… comfort even someone like me…?” Lashara-sama asked, looking up at me anxiously.


 (Hmm… Royal p**sy, huh? I’d like to try it. My wives won’t be mad either. Nowadays, even Yui attacks me together with Nyan-chan.)


 (Well then, shall we really do it? Let’s just do it.)

Notes:


• Felicia – A girl with long black hair and large eyes, appearing similar to her sister Lashara. She is the Third Princess, also known as Shia, and displays a cunning, spoiled demeanor to manipulate those around her.

• Lashara – Second Princess of Karl, long black hair, large slanted eyes, tiara and regal dress. She greets the hero’s party with a formal curtsy, showing refined delight at a Sage’s arrival. Haunted by a past kidnapping, she sees herself as socially ruined, yet maintains a dignified exterior while revealing a submissive, idol‑like demeanor in private.

• Yui – An Earth‑born Sage and core member of Ibuki’s party, she appears composed yet harbors burning resentment toward humanity and Dole from past enslavement. Gentle, level‑headed with sharp wit, she teases Yamada and fiercely protects Ibuki, whom she loves. During the princesses’ visit she is ushered to a separate room.

• Senior – A man identified as a ‘Hero’ who currently sides with demi-humans. He maintains a flustered, less experienced demeanor compared to the narrator.

• Hero – Ibuki’s upperclassman from Earth—summoned as the naive Hero with emotional, mentally fragile personality. Empathetic yet reluctant and inadequate-feeling, lacking survival instincts and political skills. Currently in despair and terrified by his situation.

• Sia – The younger sister of Lashara and a princess. She has a bold, proactive personality and a supple build, showing a shrewd nature when pursuing her desires.

• Ibuki – Kisaragi, a black-haired, germ-phobic former high-schooler summoned from Earth, is a Level 10 otherworlder and the decisive leader of a Demi-human nation, commanding his own Knight Order after surviving betrayal by the Duchy of Dole. A master crafter using Synthesis and Inventory, he forges high-value gear for his companions while traveling the frontier with Charlotte, balancing ruthless combat with a quiet quest for peace. His modern, non-judgmental worldview and quiet physical confidence command respect from royalty and allies alike, making him an unlikely yet compelling figure of authority.

• Nyan – A Dwarf girl, daughter of Doran. 20 years old but looks like a child. Dark-skinned, cat-like vibe. From the mountains.
