Volume 6 Chapter 5 Mori-Mori Is Ruthless
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
After seeing off the labyrinth-exploration party that set out at dawn, I decided to spend the morning doing paperwork in the Office. From the afternoon, it’s the Council. Former council member Mr. Ralph will come to announce his engagement with Shiori-chan. And regarding the envoy from the Imperial Capital, I will declare that I have secured Ms. Natalie.
Princess Nyx, alias Merina, and Mori-Mori—both appointed as secretaries just yesterday—are excellent. They sort the documents into categories in advance, making the thought process easier to organize. They add annotations to unclear parts, their handwriting neat and easy to read. You can sense a deep culture behind their work.
Just as the morning sun rose fully, Yawashi-kun brought breakfast for three.
”Thank you, Yawashi-kun,” I said.
”It’s been a while. Glad I could let you taste my home cooking again. Eat plenty, Mori-Mori, okay?” he replied with a warm smile.
”Thank you very much, Lord Yawashi,” Mori-Mori responded politely.
What he had prepared was a Chinese-style porridge that looked very nourishing. Yawashi-kun must have been considerate of my condition. I had breakfast with Mori-Mori and MerMer.
”It’s truly delicious. I think it rivals a court chef’s skill,” I complimented.
”Right? It’s the best of Japanese recipes and this world’s recipes combined. Speaking of which, the girl Takumi brought… what was her name—the one who crunches snacks like a squirrel…”
Only one person came to mind from that description.
”Could you mean Clarice?”
”Yeah, that kid. She was so happy about the sweets. I brought her snacks again today.”
Snack time in the deepest floor of the labyrinth—the last-dungeon spot. Well, relaxing is a good thing. When Yawashi-kun leaves after we’re done, I sip tea and feel human again. Eating a proper breakfast really is such a luxury.
”By the way, is there anything you two want? I’d like to celebrate you becoming secretaries,” Yawashi-kun offered.
I’d hoped they’d switch on their material-desire sensors, but both reactions were completely off the mark.
”I’m someone who must simply be grateful for being allowed to live this way… I can’t possibly voice any request,” Merina said gently.
I more or less expected that. Then Mori-Mori made a demand I hadn’t anticipated.
”I would like you to rape my virginity while treating me like a slave,” Mori-Mori declared boldly, her voice steady. “With my hands braced against the wall and not allowed to turn around, pierced by Takumi-sama’s manhood, I earnestly wish to be filled with semen and turned into a meat hole for disposal of sexual urges after losing my virginity.”
Yeah, well, I’m the niece of Ranka-san, who has been lecturing on how to handle slaves by using my own virginity as teaching material, after all. It’s only natural I’d have the potential to say something this extreme.
”Set aside the cliché ‘cherish your virginity,’ but why is it, I wonder, that you simply don’t want to be taken like anyone else?” I asked, genuinely curious.
”Yes. My mother and I, along with Aunt Ranka, have been entrusted with broader discretionary authority than Takumi-sama himself. Yet that authority is, in the end, power possessed by Takumi-sama alone; we are no more than slaves who exercise it in his stead. To keep that fact always before our eyes, I wish to be stripped of even the slightest shred of affection, to have my virgin offering consummated amid utter humiliation as a slave, carving my position into my flesh together with the pain.”
Yes, there’s no doubt you’re Ranka-san’s niece. That unabashed manner, petitioning for insult and defilement; that cold reasoning that treats even herself as a mere piece. She’s only just come of age and already radiates a superb, promising aura.
When I glanced over at Merina, her face had gone deathly pale. The younger Molina had given an answer a cut above hers, leaving the senior at a complete loss.
”Still, you were originally meant to inherit this merchant guild. Don’t you hold anything against me for taking it from you?” I asked cautiously.
Mori-Mori answered at once, “None,” wearing an unnervingly adult, grim smile.
”That’s because, biologically, I was that fiend’s daughter, yet I was never truly his child. A gaze that crawls over one’s privates is not one directed at a real daughter. I must have had my virginity torn from me immediately after my first menstruation, pinioned by that man. And, once deemed an obstacle to wielding power, I daresay my mother and I would have been imprisoned until we chose suicide.”
A response steeped in acrid yet tragic analysis. Katarina—of course that bastard’s a piece of crap. To drive his own daughter to words like these.
”Therefore, I was overjoyed when I became Takumi-sama’s slave. It is only right to swear lifelong loyalty to the man who freed me from that fiend… Please let me serve forever by your side as a servant doubling as a sex-treatment onahole.”
Mori-Mori has resigned herself to the fact that her position is that of a slave. But… I can’t help worrying about her future. I don’t want her to end her life as my slave. Well, for now she’s just become my secretary. I shelve the problem and plunge back into work. I’ve already forgotten that this, in itself, is my answer to the birthday gift offer…

”Takumi, sorry to bother you when you’re busy, but do you have a minute?”
While working till noon and about to head out to the Council, I was called out by Domoto-kun. Behind him stood three of the former 4th Division’s Four Idiots—Nakamura-kun, Shirada-kun, and Hatsujou-kun—all wearing extremely solemn expressions. I had Aria, who was slated to accompany me as bodyguard, go on ahead.
”What’s up, all four of you together?” I asked.
”We wanted to thank Takumi.”
”We could make the best memories ever all because of you.”
Ah, that thing. I had guessed after receiving the report. Thirty-four virgin noble ladies paid as reparations from the Former Lesta Kingdom. They sell their virginity before becoming Courtesans, and Domoto-kun and the others had been among their clients. In short, happiness had finally come calling even for Domoto-kun, that die-hard virgin-fetishist who got treated like a ‘shit bug’ by Kandagawa Rinko-chan.
”We, y’know, told our partners to come be with us.”
”‘Twas love at first sight. Not ‘cos she’s a grand noble, not ‘cos she’s a virgin—none of that, but ‘cos we truly felt she’s an amazing woman, beautiful inside and out.”
I understand the feeling. While noble born, the ladies of Lesta Kingdom chose to live as Courtesans for their people; beauty resides not merely in appearance but in their souls.
”But every last one of us got turned down.”
”We came here to become Courtesans,” they told us.
”They explained the circumstances. We came to understand how hard things are for you and for those girls.”
”So we decided. We’re going to Lesta and lend a hand over there.”
”We asked Ms. Marina to tell the girls later: ‘Let us come for you someday.’”
”Therefore, Takumi, let us go to Lesta.”
The four faces were resolute. I could clearly sense this was no whim. Still, I deliberately asked a mean question.
”I’ll ask just in case—those girls will become Courtesans. Still, can you guys truly keep loving them?”
”Idiot. That kind of stiff-necked crap’s not like us.”
”The woman we fell for works for orphans. We’ve no mind to scorn her, no mind to reject her.”
”Besides, you’ve accepted Kahoru-chan too, haven’t ya?”
”True, fair point. Sorry for the lame question. First, could you head to Seron? I’ll relay word to Ranka-san; after that, please work under his instructions.”
”Ahh, thanks. We should really move on our own, but if we go half-cocked we’d just be in the way.”
”No, they’re shorthanded and few people want to go, so you’ll be a real help.”
Thus, Domoto-kun and the others were to set off for the Lesta Kingdom—their new world. We who had moved as one whole class were now finding different paths and drifting apart like this. The fact that we still belong to the same Clan remained unchanged, yet a faint loneliness was felt.
