Chapter 74 Bringing the Princess Home


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 After offering my final greetings to the King of Karl, I left the castle and drove our large vehicle well outside the town, where we transferred to an airplane and took off, returning at last to my own country.


 We landed inside the castle grounds, and I let everyone off at my house, which sits just behind the main keep.


 Charlotte and the others rushed out to meet us. When I filled them in on the road ahead, Shirley’s eyes narrowed slightly, a small, knowing smile on her lips. “So, the time has finally come, hasn’t it?”


 ”Yeah. We need to advance carefully, but from here on out, this is war with Dole. I want everyone to be prepared for that.”


 ”Got it!” The group of Princesses looked visibly taken aback by the casual response of my wives.


 ”Um… are you truly intending to confront them head-on?” the attendant accompanying Sia-chan asked, her voice trembling with concern.


 ”Yep. But you’ve heard about the Orc King Subjugation2, right? My wives are so strong that even the weakest among them could handle that quest with ease. At the very least, a frontal assault? That’s a guaranteed landslide victory for us.”


 I explained it as simply as I could, but they still didn’t seem convinced.


 ”Well, in any case, the fires of war won’t reach this place, and I have no intention of dragging Karl into this, so don’t you worry.”


 Even as I assured them, they still looked like they had more they wanted to say. (However…) they started, their voices trailing off.


 ”Ibuki-sama, perhaps it would be best to release your mana for a moment? Just to show them,” Rosanna suggested.


 Rather than trying to intimidate them, I focused on the feeling of wanting them to simply trust me. I unleashed my mana, filling the air with it, and declared, “It’s alright! Just trust me!”


 The effect was instantaneous—every single one of the Princesses landed hard on their backsides. But it seemed to have worked; they finally understood.


 ”Y-yes… I trust you…” For some reason, they all ended up prostrate on the ground.


 It looked like they were overcome with weeping, joyous relief… what was that about? But it wasn’t the kind of atmosphere where I could push for answers, so I let it slide and kept the conversation moving.


 ”Anyway, that’s the deal. I’ll be heading to the Marquis Helkud territory. I’ll escort the Knight Order, Yui, and Shirley as far as Yada Village, and from there, you’ll head straight to Dole. Lisha and Charlotte, you two will stay here and hold the fort, sound good?”


 ”Um, excuse me? Am I not allowed to go with you?” Lisha spoke up, wondering if she shouldn’t be there to oversee the launch of the new Sha-sha branch store.


 ”I know, I know. But I don’t want to leave this place completely unattended. We’ve got the Princesses here now, too. I was hoping I could borrow one of the girls from the Sha-sha branch in Paul to help out…”


 ”Ah… I understand. But in exchange, you must let me recharge with you,” Lisha replied.


 ”Ibuki-sama, I would like that as well!”


 I wrapped my arms around both Lisha and Charlotte, who were holding their hands out expectantly. “Of course, you two.”


 ”Alright, so tomorrow, I’ll prioritize Lisha, Charlotte, Shirley, and Amelia.”


 ”Master! I’m so happy you remembered me too!”


 ”Master… so you didn’t forget about me, either.”


 Amelia and Shirley snuggled up to me, too. I led them all inside the house.


 Once we were settled and relaxing at home, Senpai, who had been fidgeting, finally opened his mouth. “Hey, what is this… does Ibuki-kun’s skill have no upper limit!?”


 I had no idea what he was talking about. “Huh? What? What’s wrong, all of a sudden?”


 ”I mean, this town! I heard you made it look like Japan, but I didn’t think it would be to this extent!”


 Senpai seemed so excited he couldn’t even keep his tone professional.


 ”Well, I told you I could make things based on my mental image, didn’t I? If I can build a house, you can see how I could build all of this if I just took the time.”


 ”I’m talking about the scale!”


 ”I put a lot of effort into that part. Anyway, what are you going to do about Kuria and the others? Are you going to bring them here, or are you heading back there, Senpai?”


 When I asked, Senpai folded his hands and bowed his head. “I-if possible, I’d like to be able to go back and forth. I’m sorry to ask, but would you mind if we used the car?”


 ”Sure, sure. It’s just a car. Now that I think about it, I’ve already built the roads, so if you have a car, you can come and go as you please. I can just set aside one of the houses for you to leave vacant. If you don’t know how to use something, just ask Charlotte or Lisha.”


 I had already told them I couldn’t be everywhere at once, and that it would be fine if they took care of Sia-chan here, so I paved the way to make things easier for her.


 ”Yeah, you’re welcome to live here too. But if you’re going to be… doing things with her, please use one of the rental houses.”


 ”Ohoho, thank you for your consideration,” Sia-chan said, seemingly already eager to secure a place where they could get busy.


 ”Oh, hold on a second.” I reached into my inventory and pulled out a stock house. “It’s stocked with everything, from seasonings to food, but the cafeteria is also open, so you can use that, too. Or, if you’re living here, Charlotte’s home cooking is probably the best.”


 After explaining the details, I introduced them to Isaac, since he’s the one who coordinates the Wing-kin.


 I was worried how it might go, but as expected of a Princess and her attendants, they treated him with the same polite consideration they showed us, and Isaac seemed relieved.


 ”I don’t think I need to say this, seeing how Lashara is, but I’ll say it anyway. They’re all good people. They’re my precious citizens, so treat them well, alright?”


 ”Yes, of course. I would never dream of directing disgust toward those who have treated us so kindly.”


 ”Thought so. I knew Lashara was a good woman.”


 I leaned in and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead, causing her to blush and look down.


 ”Katy and the others, do you have any questions? Charlotte and the rest will look after you while I’m away, so please speak up if you’re worried about anything.”


 ”In that case, could you show us the kitchen we are to use and the rooms we are assigned? We would like to check what we can and cannot do.”


 As expected of a refined noblewoman, she was already trying to grasp the situation with a sharp, focused expression. I led them around the house, showing them the facilities.


 ”Kitchen is right here. Light switch is here. Faucet is here. Stove is here.”


 ”What!? What is a ‘faucet’? And why does the ceiling light turn on when you push this?”


 I felt good watching them get surprised by every little thing, and after explaining it all, they were absolutely stunned by the bath.


 ”To think that everything for a large communal bath could be prepared so easily…”


 ”A-are we really allowed to use this?”


 ”Yeah. We don’t really have a rotation or anything. Use it whenever you like.”


 Since we’d already been intimate, the four of us took a bath together, and I explained how to use the shampoo, conditioner, and soap. After they’d listened to the instructions, they washed my body and Lashara’s, and in return, I washed Remia and Katy’s bodies from head to toe. We spent the time in the bath flirting, but when we finally got out, I felt a heavy, piercing gaze on me.


 I looked over and saw Charlotte and the others watching us, their expressions pained.


 (Oh, shoot…) I had promised I’d prioritize Lisha and the others today.


 ”Alright, that’s the tour! From here on, I’m going to spend some time healing the ones who held down the fort while I was gone. If you’re not sure about something later, just ask anyone who’s free!”


 ”Understood.”


 Lashara smiled at me, so I hurried over to where Charlotte and the girls were waiting.


 ”Sorry to keep you waiting!” I called out, and they immediately looked relieved.


 ”I was so lonely. Please love me lots tonight, okay?” Charlotte said, sending a cheerful, demanding gaze my way.


 ”Yeah. Of course. It’s just the four of us tonight, so let’s take it slow and enjoy ourselves, just like in the beginning, yeah?”


 ”Haha, now that you mention it, we used to do that in the bath a lot. I miss those days,” Shirley said.


 ”Mu… I’m jealous,” Amelia pouted.


 ”Oh, don’t worry, Amelia. You’ll hear about today’s memories from everyone else later, too. I’m just as jealous of everyone who got to have fun at the castle as you are. We’re in this together, alright?”


 ”Got it… I’m going to enjoy today,” Amelia said, her eyes shining.


 Seeing them always ready to create such a comfortable space for me made me feel so much affection for them that I led them straight to the bedroom and took them right there. We were in the middle of a marathon session when we realized we hadn’t had dinner yet, and I had to head back downstairs. Charlotte laughed, saying it reminded her of the old days.


 ”Seriously, all my wives are the best.”


 ”I’m so happy… Master♡”


 ”Ibuki-samaaaa♡!”


 Shirley and Charlotte clung to me.


 Amelia and Lisha were totally worn out from being pampered too much, so for once, I had my hands full with just these two. As I pampered them as carefully as I had back in the beginning, their eyes began to grow hazy, even more than usual.


 ”Haa… haa… I can’t… I can’t wait anymore♡”


 Shirley stretched out like a cat, spreading her legs wide for me. It was a kind of behavior that would have been unthinkable back in the day.


 ”Haha, Shirley, you’ve become quite the lecher, haven’t you?”


 ”It’s all Master’s fault… for making me unable to wait like this! Please! Give it to me, now!”


 I plunged into Shirley, who was begging me with a face as red as a tomato. After I loved her until she passed out, it was Charlotte-chan’s turn.


 ”It’s rare for you to wait until the very end, isn’t it?”


 Usually, she was the first to beg, the first to pass out, and the first to wake up and challenge me to another round.


 ”Because… everyone was saying things like ‘that’s just the way you are’…”


 ”Ah, you finally noticed?” I laughed, and she puffed out her cheeks. “I’d always noticed!” Charlotte-chan said, explaining that she hadn’t known how to react, so she hadn’t said anything.


 ”You could just moan like Meena does, you know? It’s not like you can help it if you can’t hold back.”


 (But wait…) I’d been thinking Charlotte was a bit reserved lately, but maybe there were all sorts of things going on among the girls at home, too.


 ”But Meena is cute… do you think I’d be forgiven if I did that?”


 ”No, that’s just it. You’re being told that because you are cute.”


 ”That’s only because you have such strange tastes, Ibuki-sama… objectively speaking, I’m not cute. I only look decent once you’ve decked me out.”


 No, that’s not right at all. She was this cute…


 As I played with her, her face began to look like she was about to cry.


 ”Why won’t you put it in… you’re not going to say you’re bored of me, are you?”


 ”Idiot. If I were bored, I wouldn’t be playing with you. My interest in you is endless.”


 ”Uuuu! Ibuki-samaaaa! ♡”


 Charlotte’s behavior was a mix of anger and pure affection.


 ”By the way, should I get you pregnant soon? You’re going to bear my children, right?”


 ”Y-yes! I would be honored anytime! ♡”


 She laughed as she said it, and when I gave her an Impregnation Press1, Charlotte-chan was in a great mood for the rest of the night.


 We eventually fell asleep, but I was shaken awake by someone. I opened my eyes to see a naked, petite girl riding me.


 ”Master… Master… I love you, I love you…♡”


 Amelia was working hard, trying her best to ride me. I suddenly grabbed her hips.


 ”Hyaaaa!!”


 ”Whoa, it’s rare for Amelia to make a sound like that. How cute.”


 As I teased her with a grin, Amelia seemed genuinely depressed. “I-I’m sorry…”


 ”What are you sorry for? I told you it was fine, didn’t I? I’m going to take you right here, okay?”


 When I said that, she seemed confused, but then her eyes filled with anticipation, and I grabbed her hips and began using her as if she were a mas**rbator.


 ”Y-yeah. I’m so happy… Aaaah♡ That’s it♡ I love you so much♡”


 She must have been pretty worked up from the sleep-s*x, because her face was already melting. (She’s probably going to climax before I even finish…) and as I thought, she shivered violently and climaxed.


 Man… I’m still in the middle of things, and everyone else is asleep. Ah, I can just do the same to them.


 Lisha’s inside was still quite wet, so I slipped inside her and enjoyed some slow, intimate s*x without waking her. Rosanna had woken up immediately, but Lisha-chan, who’s not a morning person, was still asleep despite the noises she was making.


 Watching her moan intermittently—ah, ah—got me so excited I felt my own climax approaching.


 ”I-I’m going…” I stole a kiss, and when I applied my weight for an Impregnation Press, she finally seemed to wake up.


 Thump-thump, thump-thump.


 ”Nnnn!? Chup! Geez! If you had woken me up, I would have done my best! ♡”


 ”Well, you were being woken up by sleep-s*x but you kept falling asleep halfway through, so I thought…”


 When I told her that, Lisha glanced over at Amelia, who was sleeping peacefully next to us, and giggled.


 ”Could I have a turn next time, too?”


 ”Yeah, sure. I’ll look forward to it.”


 When I smiled at her, she hugged me, wrapping me in her massive breasts. “Ufufu♡ I love you♡”


 Ah, Lisha’s big breasts are truly a comfort.


 I buried my face in them, enjoying the feeling as we fell asleep in each other’s arms.


 And then, the morning came.


 After my morning routine of tea with everyone, I left the harem to fulfill the subjugation requests I’d accepted, and as planned, I first took the Knight Order and flew over to Yada Village.
