Volume 2 Chapter 28 Compensation
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Teressa only spoke with Henrietta-san and ignored me as she left the laboratory, so I followed after her.
I called out to her after she stopped outside the door.
”I was worried about you.”
She turned around with tears already spilling from her eyes.
”I first heard about it from the Old Master who came to the village. You rescued the girl from the noble’s son, and because of that, you were sued, went to a duel trial, and returned alive, but now you’re involved with the military’s secret weapons, and we thought you weren’t at school anymore, that you weren’t coming back. We hadn’t heard from you, and Monica, Yutia, Lili, Sandra, and Niko were all very worried.”
By the time she finished, she was openly crying.
”It’s okay. I’m here.”
The moment I answered, she slammed into my chest and wrapped her arms around me.
So she really had been worried sick.
I held her quietly.
After seeing me earlier with my hands all over Henrietta-san, her cold reaction made perfect sense.
Anyone would be furious after traveling this far out of concern only to walk into that scene.
Still, was Old Master really spreading stories about me everywhere?
Those people practically worked as spies for the Fourth Sage. If they were leaking information intentionally, there had to be a reason.
The battle of Vod Fortress had probably spread the same way.
If my name kept circulating, would that eventually put the family in danger from the Haritz clan?
”I’m sorry,” Teressa said softly, stepping back as if interrupting my train of thought.
She wiped her tears away and forced a smile.
She didn’t need to force herself like that.
She was still as kind and beautiful as ever.
”How did you get all the way here?” I asked.
”Uncle Klaus-san allowed me to ride in his carriage. He already arranged for my return trip as well.”
Tony had mentioned he traveled to Obernbach often.
Come to think of it, Teressa’s letter did say she’d asked Uncle Klaus about my situation.
”Are you staying with your family tonight?” I asked.
”No. I’m too embarrassed to face the girls.”
She and my late eldest brother, Iffens-niisan, had two daughters: Lyrica and Maria.
The girls had been taken in by her birth family when she married into House Getys as my Concubine².
”I was told immediate family members are allowed to stay overnight here.”
After informing the others at the lab, the two of us headed for the administration building.
Once the lodging paperwork was finished, I collected her luggage from storage and brought her back to my room.
”Teressa-sama!”
Nico looked up from her mending work with a delayed reaction before her eyes widened in shock.
Honestly, nobody would’ve expected Teressa to appear here.
”Nico. Have you been well?” Teressa asked.
Tears immediately welled up in Nico’s eyes.
They hadn’t even been apart for two full months.
Marie, meanwhile, grasped the situation much faster than Nico did.
She stared at the two of us with an icy expression while they held hands.
”You must be Marie-san. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Teressa Kneff Fee Getys. I currently serve as Larry’s wife.”
Teressa deliberately introduced herself with her full aristocratic name and emphasized the word wife.
The tension in the room sharpened instantly.
”My, what a very long name. Pleasure to meet you as well. I am Marie Novakova. Just as I’d heard, you truly are beautiful. Especially for someone who’s already given birth to two children.”
Marie wasn’t using her usual Kiridal dialect.
She’d switched to polished local speech, but the remark about Teressa’s long name was clearly a jab at multiple marriages.
She was absolutely doing it on purpose.
Neither of them dropped their smiles for even a second.
The air felt tense.
”Thank you. I hear that rather often.
And I understand you’re carrying Larry’s child?”
”Yes. I’m already three months along.”
Marie gently rested a hand on her stomach, which still looked flat.
”Ah, that must be because you can manipulate Mana³. I’m four months along myself. This child is very energetic already.”
”I hear Teressa-sama can manipulate Mana as well. Ohohohoho,” Marie replied.
(It’s fine. This isn’t terrifying at all.)
”U-Um, I’ll prepare some tea,” Nico said nervously.
Her face had gone stiff from anxiety.
”In that case, I’ll help boil the water. You’re using the Magic Pot, right?”
Nico couldn’t operate the Mana-powered pot herself, so helping made perfect sense.
”Dear, don’t steal Nico’s work from her.”
Teressa shut me down immediately.
Nico gave me an apologetic look and hurried from the room.
”Haha… right. Then I’ll go buy some pastries to go with the tea.”
”There’s no need. I bought sweet cookies as a souvenir on the way here.”
Wait? Dear?
I was pretty sure that was the first time she’d ever called me that.
Now that refined sugar had started circulating more widely, sweets were becoming common instead of medicinal luxuries.
”My, that’s wonderful. I do love sweets,” Marie said brightly.
Marie, your accent is slipping.
”Oh dear. Is your speech deteriorating?” Teressa asked.
”Not at all. Perhaps your hearing is the problem?” Marie replied smoothly.
Listening to the two of them trade passive-aggressive barbs made my stomach hurt.
(Somebody save me.)
Knock knock.
The sound at the door felt almost divine.
”Yeees, come in!” I answered far too enthusiastically.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in military uniform strode into the room.
Lieutenant Colonel Helbert from the Royal Army.
”Yo, Larry-kun! Staying lively?”
His booming voice shattered the atmosphere instantly.
”Alright, time to head out. We had an agreement, didn’t we?”
”Where are we going exactly?” I asked.
I remembered perfectly well, but there was no way I could admit that in this room.
”To the Willow District, obviously! The pleasure district!”
I glanced toward the women with a face that desperately tried to say, I don’t remember agreeing to anything like that.
Their frozen smiles somehow became even colder.
”Dear, who is this gentleman?” Teressa asked flatly.
”Pleasure to meet you. I am Lieutenant Colonel Helbert of the Kingdom of Schuberitz Military General Staff Intelligence Bureau, currently serving as acting director of the Military Equipment Bureau Laboratory.”
He rattled off the absurdly long title before giving a crisp military salute.
Both women instinctively stiffened.
”Nice to meet you, I am—”
Helbert raised a hand and interrupted Teressa immediately.
”A beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed lady. You must be Larry-kun’s third wife. Thank you for supporting our operations.”
Did this man seriously investigate my entire family?
At that exact moment, Nico returned carrying a tea tray.
”The resemblance is obvious. You must be Nico ・Vogt, Teressa-dono’s maternal cousin and attendant. The Paper Merchant’s Daughter, correct?”
Without missing a beat, he shifted his attention to Marie.
”Then you must be Marie Novakova, granddaughter of the Barsheni village elder.”
The entire room fell under his pace immediately.
As expected of someone from military intelligence.
Still, what was he trying to accomplish here?
”When did Madam arrive from Strock Village?” Helbert asked.
”Just a short while ago,” Teressa answered.
Being formally addressed as Madam by a military officer seemed to please her slightly.
”I see. That’s inconvenient.”
”Has something happened?” she asked.
At this point she was being completely led through the conversation.
”A critical meeting was added to our schedule unexpectedly. In the Willow District. Please don’t misunderstand—it may be located there, but it’s a prestigious establishment. We must conduct a final briefing regarding the classified weapon project your husband is involved in.”
He lowered his voice theatrically even though everyone in the room could hear him perfectly.
”When is Madam returning to Strock Village?”
”The day after tomorrow.”
”That’s rather rushed. Wouldn’t it be better to stay longer?”
”I already arranged transportation with my uncle.”
”In that case, the military can prepare a private carriage for you.”
Offering a military escort that casually was absurd.
Naturally, Teressa declined.
”I’m technically still suspended, you know,” I muttered.
”You didn’t hear? Your suspension was lifted earlier today. The notice is already posted.”
That couldn’t be true. I’d literally just visited the office.
”Here.”
Helbert pulled the Viscount’s Treasure Sword⁷ from his coat.
The timing was disturbingly perfect.
First the background investigation, now this.
Military bureaucracy was terrifying.
”Therefore, Madam, I apologize for borrowing your husband tonight. I will return him safely tomorrow morning.”
He then placed an outrageously expensive bottle of wine on the table and suggested the ladies enjoy themselves while we were gone.
”Sorry to take him away after you came all this way,” Helbert said.
A few minutes later, I found myself inside a black carriage, wondering whether I should thank him for rescuing me or curse him for making things worse tomorrow.
For now, I settled for a vague “Right.”
The carriage descended from the plateau and followed the riverside road west.
The sun still lingered on the horizon, but lanterns already illuminated the pleasure district ahead.
”So what kind of meeting is this really?” I asked.
”A strategic conference involving expensive alcohol and pretty older women, obviously!”
Just as I thought.
Helbert grinned shamelessly from the opposite seat.
”Today was my only opening, and your room looked ready to explode. Leaving you there would’ve been cruel.”
Honestly, he might’ve had a point.
Though tomorrow morning was going to be horrifying.
”But is it really okay for me to visit a place like this wearing my school uniform?”
A robe covered most of it, but the uniform still felt risky.
”Don’t worry. You’re famous enough around here that hiding wouldn’t help anyway.”
A celebrity.
That was uncomfortable to hear, but probably true.
”And one more thing,” Helbert added. “Do not make promises or contracts with anyone inside.”
As soon as he finished warning me, the carriage stopped.
A sharp-eyed man in black greeted us outside.
”Lieutenant Colonel Helbert, welcome.”
His gaze shifted toward me.
”That uniform… could this be the famous Larry-sama?”
Apparently I really was famous here.
”That’s right. Want an autograph?” Helbert joked.
”Please come this way, Larry-sama.”
We followed him through a tree-lined path toward the building.
”Staying overnight?” the man asked.
”Yes. We’ll leave at eight tomorrow morning.”
”Understood.”
Inside, the circular lobby was illuminated by bright Luminous Magic Iron⁴.
Polished marble covered both floor and walls.
At the reception desk, Helbert was stopped and told to complete my registration.
The membership contract prohibited revealing information about other patrons.
That immediately made me nervous.
If someone used Mind-reading⁵, secrecy would be meaningless.
”If you’re worried about Mind-reading, you may decline the witness clause,” the black-suited attendant explained. “However, revealing information obtained through Mind-reading is punishable regardless.”
”What kind of punishment?”
”That depends on our regulations.”
That answer was not reassuring.
Still, after hesitating, I signed.
Once registration was complete, another door opened.
Women stood lined up along both sides of a red carpet.
”Please choose a partner for tonight. You may switch later if you wish. Songstresses and dice dealers require additional fees.”
So basically, every woman here was available.
”I’ll take this one,” Helbert declared.
He immediately pulled a petite girl against his arm.
This man really was shameless.
As for me, while I was scanning the lineup, my eyes locked with someone familiar.
Nikole-san.
A repeating second-year student I’d met in Linto.
Her eyes darted away awkwardly.
”This girl, perhaps?” the attendant suggested.
Before I could answer, he wrapped her arm around mine.
”There’s a unique thrill in being paired with someone you know,” he whispered. “And because she’s a Mage, proper precautions are taken. You needn’t worry about children.”
Apparently the entire pairing system was based on detailed background information.
Nikole wore a thin silk dress with no undergarments beneath it.
The fabric was sheer enough to leave little to the imagination.
While I stared like an idiot, she suddenly squeezed my hand.
’Don’t you dare switch me out,’ she warned through Telepathy⁶.
’Is it really that bad?’
’Of course. I need the money.’
Since she’d repeated a year and lacked tuition exemptions, she apparently needed work badly.
”It is decided then. This way, please.”
As we walked down the carpet, the heavy door ahead opened briefly.
Music and laughter spilled out.
A single man stepped through before the door shut again.
Unlike the attendants, he radiated danger even while speaking politely.
”Helbert Lieutenant Colonel. Welcome.”
”Adolf-dono. I’ll be relying on your hospitality again tonight.”
”And that young man… Larry Fee Getys-sama?”
”That’s right,” Helbert answered proudly.
”An honor. I am Adolf Wolf, owner of this establishment.”
”Nice to meet you. I’m Larry Fee Getys, a student at the Magic School.”
Adolf smiled faintly.
A chill crawled down my spine anyway.
”Larry-kun, Walter-dono may run Bizan publicly, but Adolf-dono is the real power behind the scenes. It’s good for him to remember your face.”
So basically, a yakuza boss.
”And Adolf-dono already knows Larry-kun is close to Isabella of the Weasels of Bohemia.”
Marie’s aunt, Second Lieutenant Isabella, had once led a mercenary band feared across Bohemia.
Connections between her and someone like Adolf made perfect sense.
”I’ve heard of you,” Adolf said calmly. “Please treat me well.”
I bowed instinctively.
When I raised my head again, his expression had sharpened.
(Am I being tested?)
I returned a smaller, controlled bow instead.
It felt exactly like a scene from an old yakuza movie.
”Please enjoy yourselves.”
With that, Adolf departed.
Beyond the thick doors was a balcony overlooking the main hall.
Below us sat gambling tables, a performance stage, and a marble-racing course that looked like a miniature roller coaster.
”Enjoy yourself for the night,” Helbert said. “I’ll send you back to school tomorrow.”
Then he disappeared downstairs with the petite girl on his arm.
(Then why bring me here at all?)
’Well then, I’ll teach you the games,’ Nikole-senpai said.
The main attraction was gambling.
Normally customers exchanged money for coins, but when I showed my membership tag, the cashier handed over a large stack immediately.
’Joining bonus,’ Nikole explained.
Apparently treatment varied by guest status.
Mine included one hundred white coins and thirty red coins.
For someone whose previous gambling experience peaked at low-stakes mahjong, it was absurd.
The simplest game involved betting on three dice.
There were standard even-odd wagers, but also high-payout bets for matching combinations.
Triple ones paid one hundred times the wager.
The longer a combination failed to appear, the more people piled money onto it.
It was surprisingly addictive to watch.
The marble races were even more entertaining.
Twelve colored marbles rolled through a winding track while gamblers predicted first and second place.
Nikole quietly informed me that frustrated players occasionally threw coins onto the course to interfere, though it rarely changed the results.
The races lasted barely over a minute, but the suspense was intense.
Alcohol and appetizers were included throughout the hall, and tiered box seats overlooked the stage.
The partitions provided enough privacy that people could fool around without being easily seen.
Late at night, the stage performances escalated from singing to explicit stage shows and BDSM performances.
A place built to melt even the stiffest, most uptight visitor.
The marble races turned out to be dangerously fun.
Whenever I won, the hostesses swarmed me with hugs and deep kisses.
Unlike certain places in my old world where kissing was avoided, the women here seemed enthusiastic about it.
Even while kissing, Nikole kept checking through Telepathy to make sure I wasn’t trying to switch partners.
I did my best not to think about how many old men these women had kissed already.
Unfortunately, I was still a man.
After a while, I wandered toward the stage seating.
At that moment, several men were performing a disturbingly realistic BDSM show involving a young woman.
’Is that real?’ I asked.
’That one is fake,’ Nikole replied through Telepathy. ‘But sometimes debt collateral girls are real. Those nights are announced ahead of time for customers who specifically want that.’
So apparently some of the performances weren’t staged at all.
By the time I finally staggered back to my room, I was drunk enough that even the attached bath felt luxurious.
”I had a great time!”
I splashed water over my face while sinking into the bath.
Nikole entered naked a moment later.
She had a much better figure than I’d expected.
”My, what an energetic little fish. Mind if I devour it?” she teased.
”It’s fine, it’s fine, my fish, stuff your mouth with it,” I replied.
Drunk people really did become idiots.
Sitting at the edge of the bath, I let her handle things with her mouth.
Sometimes simple relief was enough.
The next morning, I woke just before dawn.
After an elegant breakfast, I climbed back into the carriage.
”So? Enjoy yourself?” Helbert asked.
”Yes. Thank you.”
”Good. Then inviting you was worthwhile.”
”But that place must be expensive.”
There was no way a night like that only cost a single silver coin.
”Two gold coins for your visit alone.”
”Two gold coins?!”
That was even worse than I’d imagined.
Roughly two hundred thousand yen for one night.
”That includes your membership registration.”
When I checked my pockets, I found the membership slip from the attendant and threaded it onto the cord of the Viscount’s Treasure Sword⁷ so I wouldn’t lose it.
”It was amazing, but are you really okay spending that much on me?”
”I never said I was paying for you.”
No way.
(Was this man setting me up from the start?)
”Don’t look so horrified. Once your invention succeeds, you’ll earn it back easily. If you’ve contributed to the country, entertainment suited to your status is only natural.”
Maybe he wasn’t wrong.
Still, trusting this man casually had definitely been a mistake.
He knew far too much about my family already.
”You want to go again, don’t you?”
’Certainly.’
No, no. Spending my life drowning in gambling, alcohol, and women would be pure degeneracy.
Probably.
Helbert just grinned while the carriage rolled onward.
(Form is emptiness, emptiness is form… damn it.)

Summary:
Teressa arrives unexpectedly at Larry’s laboratory out of profound anxiety surrounding his recent involvement with military weapons and dangerous trials. Her entry sparks an immediate passive-aggressive confrontation with Marie, who subtly asserts dominance by flaunting her three-month pregnancy. The heavy atmospheric tension breaks suddenly with the rowdy arrival of Lieutenant Colonel Helbert, who executes a rapid administrative maneuver to break Larry out of the room under official military pretense to escort him directly toward the pleasure quarter lights
Moving into the elite secret gambling den under the guidance of Lieutenant Colonel Helbert, Larry navigates an unsettling non-disclosure agreement before unexpectedly pairing up with his school senior Nikole Jahn. The evening escalates rapidly through high-stakes games, all-you-can-drink luxury service, and explicit live performances, eventually leading back to a private bathhouse chamber where an unresolved financial motivation drives an intimate physical encounter
Waking up to a steep financial demand following a night of indulgence, the narrator calculates his mounting debt while riding inside a carriage alongside a manipulative older companion whose true leverage involves family data and an unnamed national invention
—
Trivia:
- The specific implication that a long, hyphenated full aristocratic name denotes multiple legal marital lineages and functions as a target for social mockery.
- The subtle administrative display of systemic surveillance shown by Helbert instantly recognizing Nico by name, lineage, and paternal trade affiliation without prior introduction.
- Nikole’s loss of her tuition waiver due to repeating a grade is the sole reason she is working in this high-risk adult establishment.
- The contract signed by Larry carries a hidden loophole regarding witness signatures that avoids immediate mental surveillance issues unless internal staff information is actively leaked outside.
- The mention of an enrollment fee implies the establishment operates on a membership-only framework rather than standard public access.
- The narrator possesses an item belonging to or associated with a Viscount, indicating high-level aristocratic connections prior to this journey
—
Character Insight:
Teressa shifts from deep emotional vulnerability outside the door into an assertive, status-enforcing persona when introducing herself to Marie, intentionally employing her full lineage name to reinforce her senior position within the household.
Larry transitions from a state of anxious caution regarding mind-reading magic to complete sensory indulgence, letting his past-life moral standards give way to basic physical gratification, while Nikole demonstrates a strictly transactional shift in behavior, using telepathic leverage and aggressive intimacy to secure financial cooperation from an junior acquaintance.
The narrator experiences a sharp transition from sensory compliance to sudden defensive paranoia upon learning he is fully responsible for an unexpected two-gold-coin debt.

Glossary:
Notes:
• Henrietta – An eccentric, refined Bizan Magic School instructor and supervisor under Prof. Pauman. She sports disheveled hair, a black Gothic-Lolita outfit, and massive breasts. Running a Synchronization-type Golem lab, she serves as a teasing mentor to Larry, who calls her an ultra-pervert Great Demon King. She uses mind-reading on him, manages military research pressure, owns Pamela, rivals Line, and is obsessed with ancient magic ships. Mana manipulation triggers her raw, submissive pleasure.
• Teressa – Blonde, short-haired, and blue-eyed, this elegant village head and Getys House member is Larry’s wife and sister-in-law, now four months pregnant with his child. Formerly Iffens’ widow, she is a motherly yet sharp Gothic Lolita tutored by Henrietta and once served by Nico. Capable of manipulating Mana shared with Larry, she arrives at the academy hiding a vulnerable, mischievous core behind a cold exterior.
• Monica – Sun-tanned, slender, tomboyish fifteen-year-old widow and childhood friend of Larry, missing a front tooth, she lost her husband Denis at Vod Fortress and now raises her twin children while wet-nursing her infant niece Maria; observant, assertive in negotiations, and the household’s weary voice of reason, she manages domestic life with bitter authority, haunted by survival fears and Larry’s neglect—so much so she gave up her son—and offers the narrator early-filtered apple cider as a quiet, poignant farewell at the station.
• Sandra – Tallest Getys maid, bronze‑haired to the shoulders, large chest shown by a wool sweater, bondservant forced into service at 14 by debt. She rebels against the protagonist, is subdued by Mana, and speaks directly with ironic flair. Helps plan the household’s agriculture and belongs to Larry’s inner circle.
• Yutia – A hunched, muscularly distorted maid with fever‑scarred skin hidden under tangled hair serves the Getys household, tending livestock—especially Carpaccio—with quiet loyalty. Isolated by Larry’s rise and intimidated by Hans, she bonds deeply with the horses, gave Larry a braided hair charm, eats at the manor but stays emotionally distant. A young Getys woman, afflicted by abnormal muscle tension, recently shared her first intimate moment with Larry.
• Lili – An older, slightly plump maid of the Getys household, with exceptionally large breasts, serves as a quiet bondservant handling most housework. She joins the family in inspecting new land and accompanies Monica to see the narrator off at Obernbach Station.
• Niko – An elderly, dignified former slave and ex-head butcher, now the oldest male servant of the Getys household, he addresses Larry as “Young Master,” encourages his rite of passage, and follows him from the Fee family estate.

Larry and Hans despise him, and he is the narrator’s uncle living on the hill in the territorial capital. Larry’s uncle, a professional among noble colleagues, often closes his eyes when deep in thought or stressed.
• Tony – A friendly, quiet, and hardworking coachman for Uncle Klaus who recently married a kitchen maid. He has a likable face and is often seen resting after long journeys. He delivers a critical family letter to Larry and teases him about domestic rumors.

• Novakova – Headed by Marie, the Novakova family carries a dignified surname tied to their Barsheni ancestry.
