Chapter 446 The Woman in the Storehouse
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Cockroach’s (Saito) POV
”I apologize, but Takata won’t be meeting with anyone.”
The voice of an elderly woman came through the intercom, polite yet with a hint of dismissal.
”Um, wait a moment! We’ve come all this way, can’t we stay just for a little while?”
Fukuda-sama clung to the gatepost, leaning closer to the intercom, refusing to give up.
But there was no response. The intercom fell silent with a short, abrupt noise.
Takata-sama’s parent home was a large traditional Japanese house, typical of Kyoto. Beyond the fence, a sizable storehouse was also visible.
I, Cockroach (Saito), watched from a distance, hidden in the shadows of a telephone pole, observing Fukuda-sama, Natsumi-sama, and their actions.
”Seems like a dead end…”
When Natsumi-sama said this with a wry smile, Fukuda-sama impatiently tapped her foot in annoyance.
”I can’t believe it! Are they insane? They turn away a junior who came to visit her daughter, that’s just not right!”
”Well, there must be some circumstances…”
”But what should we do? It’s irritating to go back now.”
”Yeah…”
While appearing deep in thought with her arms crossed, Natsumi-sama gave me a meaningful glance.
(Alright, I understand. You want me to investigate, right?)
I nodded slightly as I shrugged, and Natsumi-sama smiled and said to Fukuda-sama,
”Well, let’s retreat for today. We still have some days to stay, so we can come back later. I’ll also send a message to my mutual acquaintance and ask about it.”
”Ugh… Well, I guess there’s no choice.”
Once the two figures had moved away and disappeared from view, I began my operation.
As a loyal servant of Confinement King-sama, I felt somewhat uneasy about taking my eyes off Natsumi-sama and Fukuda-sama, but this was the order from Natsumi-sama herself.
Definitely not because I was curious.
I adjusted my baseball cap, covering my face further, and concentrated my awareness on the presence of people inside the building.
There were a total of nine presences.
Surprisingly, quite a few. In a mansion of this size, it was possible they employed servants.
Among them, I recognized one presence.
(The storehouse… Takata-sama is on the second floor, isn’t she?)
Honestly, it was a relief that she was isolated from the other presences.
I leaped over the wall and landed in a corner of the garden, close to the storehouse.
Fortunately, the entrance to the storehouse was hidden from view from the main house.
Worst-case scenario, I was prepared to eliminate everyone, but if I could avoid killing, that would be better. Not because I cared how many people died, but I’d rather not incur the wrath of the Head Maid later.
The storehouse door was locked with a large latch.
I couldn’t open it from the inside.
In other words, Takata-sama was confined.
”Sigh… Once she’s released from Confinement King-sama’s grasp, she’s immediately confined in her parents’ house, huh…? Do they want to be called ‘Confinement King’?”
I couldn’t help but think my comment might have been disrespectful to Confinement King-sama himself. Silently apologizing to him in my mind, I pressed my hand against the door and focused.
(Space manipulation isn’t exactly my forte…)
I sliced through space and passed into the interior of the storehouse.
This kind of thing was really Earthworm (Inui)’s specialty. Even though I received guidance from Crocell-sama in the demon world, with a door this thick, it was a close call with my abilities.
The inside of the storehouse was quite dusty.
As expected of a historic mansion, there were many ancient items stored here. Stacks of old trunks and large jars were covered in thick dust.
Sunlight streaming in from a small window illuminated a staircase leading to the upper floor at the far end.
As soon as I approached and stepped on the narrow and steep wooden staircase, it creaked loudly.
”Who’s there?”
A voice I recognized came from upstairs, but I continued ascending without answering.
Seated in seiza posture at a writing desk was Takata-sama, dressed plainly. She had no makeup on her face. Although she wasn’t wearing glasses, she seemed to have returned to her old self before becoming Taka-chi.
”Cockroach, huh…? It’s been a while.”
”Sarcastic humor doesn’t suit you at all, Takata-sama.”
”Huh? Oh… It came out sounding a bit like a rhyme, didn’t it? I didn’t intend that…”
Takata-sama chuckled awkwardly. I shifted my gaze to the writing desk she was facing.
”Scripture writing, huh…”
”Yes, I have to write a hundred pages a day. Quite amusing, isn’t it?”
”Indeed.”
When I responded this way, Takata-sama’s expression turned slightly annoyed, as if she had expected a different answer.
As I scanned the small room, there was only one folded futon beside the writing desk. That’s it.
It seemed she was truly confined here.
”So, what’s with that outfit?”
”Huh? Is something wrong? It suits my age, doesn’t it?”
Denim pants that reached mid-calf, a hoodie, and a baseball cap. Not fashionable by any means, but I thought it was typical attire for a high school girl.
”To be frank, it’s quite unfashionable.”
”I’d rather not hear that from Takata-sama.”
It was amusing how she could say that after wearing such horrendous glasses back when she was confined.
”Why did you come here? Did Fumio ask you to check on me or something?”
”No, Confinement King-sama doesn’t seem to have any interest in Takata-sama.”
”I see… Oh well, that’s too bad.”
When she looked as if she was wilting, it made me feel like I had done something terribly wrong, so I wished she wouldn’t.
”I came here on behalf of Fukuda-sama and Natsumi-sama, who are their escorts.”
”Fukuda, you mean Rin-chan? And Natsumi, is that… Natsumi Shima?”
”That’s correct.”
I nodded, and a crease formed on her forehead.
”What’s up with that bizarre combination?”
”Well… I don’t know the details of how they got acquainted. Anyway, Fukuda-sama and Natsumi-sama came all the way here to visit Takata-sama, but they were turned away at the gate. So, I came in their place.”
”…I see.”
”By the way, Takata-sama really seem to have a penchant for confinement, even at your family’s home.”
”I don’t like being confined! It just happened because I tried to escape!”
”It’s rather foolish to get caught, isn’t it?”
”You’re really rude, aren’t you? You should show a bit of compassion since I’m in a weak state.”
”Showing compassion to Takata-sama won’t benefit me in any way.”
”Yeah, you’re one of those, huh?”
Takata-sama sighed and slumped her shoulders.
”Oh well, confinement here isn’t enjoyable at all…”
I couldn’t help but tilt my head in response to that statement.
”It sounds like you actually enjoyed being confined.”
”Well, toward the end… The job was fun, and I grew attached to the customers. Fukuo-chi’s ‘equipment’ was amazing too… And arguing with you wasn’t so bad either. I think.”
”Finding enjoyment in confinement, that’s a kind of perversion.”
”Haha… Yeah, maybe. But this confinement here is ending soon.”
”Is that so?”
I tilted my head again, and she made a face that was somewhere between laughing and crying.
”The wedding is the day after tomorrow.”
”Huh?”
”It’s an old man, you see. He doesn’t mind that I’m damaged goods… It’s kind of amusing, isn’t it? I’m more than fifty years younger than him, and become his second wife. For my mother, it’s a way to get rid of me, and she’ll also establish a relationship with a powerful local figure. There’s really no reason for her to refuse, right?”

How can her mom rationalize being super conservative to the point of forcing her daughter to write scripture in a locked storehouse, but then selling her off to a rich man to be a concubine in modern day.
The saddest thing is I can believe the hypocrisy when it comes to these types of people. It’s not about actually believing what you preach. It’s all about appearances.
It’s not even that rare in the real world actually.
People, especially religious and conservative people love to justify the absolute worst things by forcing their “ethics” on others.
Like progressives like saying they are open to other views but demand a whole rave of people vote or think like they do, and use racial slurs when they dont…
Considering yes this is a.”Conservatives” as in Japanese culture BEFORE the devil white man showed up, this was part of it.
Progressives claim to celebrate diversity, unless they are offended by it and then try to destroy it.

concubine is probably wrong. considering his age and her being called the second wife, the first probably died already

Thanks for the chapter. Fumio, what are you planning? Takata is a cute girl who we took a liking during her confinement and subsequent interactions. Will you save her in a straight forward way, or pick a messy way to do it?
The messy way pls 😀

I’m actually not sure why the author decide to ignore Takata this long, sure her involvement is kinda just on a whim of Fumio, and he sure is kinda picky with his girls but from what I see, a lot of readers like Takata quite a bit, is it just JP reader does like her that much?
Too much characters to write.
Writing a story with 1~5 character is easy, 10 is slightly harder, 20 is hard, and 100 is impossible mode.
Which is why, most lightnovel or Webnovel have their side-characters plain or flat. It makes it more manageable.
But in this novel, we can see that the author tried his best accomodating for most of MC’s harem. Here, we have sub-characters that are interesting and worth knowing and read.
And it’s not easy, and we can see here that the pace of the main plot had suffered as a result.

The author has just been hospitalized.
Didn’t knew that was the case. I hope this wont be anything serious and he would make a quick recovery, please share any new updates you come across; it would be greatly appreciated
The author posted on his account at the end of the year that he is out of the hospital and his illness was cured. According to the post the LN volume 5 will be released in June. No word on the WN
Thanks for the update! I’m relieved to hear that the author is out of the hospital and doing better. Hopefully, they’ll be back to writing soon. June seems like a long wait for LN Volume 5, but at least there’s some progress. If you come across any further updates or news about the WN, please do share. Thanks again for keeping me in the loop!

I mean I can understand why people like this story..but I can’t get behind the mc or the devil girl this is like one of those stories that is like the dark side of a side story that takes place with the antagonist of the series the antagonist general being lili but overlord x10
Imagine there being a hero in the world where Lili come from facing off against the demon lord, because there is no conflict in this series besides what you hear when they come back from whatever the devil/succubus characters do in there off world time home world.” there is no way there would be no opposing force (you have devils that can put ordinary individuals in confinement cages with no opposing intervention)
Lili is like the character that fight the real hero of the story and you imagine her fighting said hero and by chance she just says ” oh I forgot to check up on how my protege is doing with the slave farm we will meet again hero tee hee”
But yeah they’re both irredeemable characters I despise when they try to make it seem like it’s justifiable for something that’s obviously not even if you did get bullied what he did the first instance was all ready more than enough but I understand lot of you is just as sick in the head judging based off incel comments lol.
Taking up for mc like he’s the best thing to touch the ground like the least you can do is not justify mc bad behavior by calling the female characters derogatory names for doing the least amount of damage that’s just an unrealistic amount of cope
Why the hell are you here then?
Because I was interested in the story but I don’t have to like the mc, didn’t think he would be this much of a crap mc with a crap plot only meant for those with a r*p fetish
