Chapter 170 The Chosen Three
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The next morning. As soon as I finished breakfast, I made use of Eunos-san’s body, taking the time to drain myself thoroughly.
Even though I had spent quite a bit with Sardonyx and Lace Agate yesterday… perhaps it’s a byproduct of reaching Level 10, but my metabolic vigor is definitely on the rise.
Well, by performing internal releases with Vectra-san and Eunos-san, they can remain active even outside the domain for a specific duration. Maintaining a meticulous Magic Power supply is paramount.
I subsequently headed toward the chamber of the Great Phantasmal Soulstone¹ with Ami-chan, where we observed the conditions of the basement ranch.
”It’s a spectacular sight, as always,” I remarked.
”Even at this very moment, Ego Point² are accumulating at a rapid pace! It feels incredible!” Ami-chan exclaimed.
On the operation window before my eyes, the naked female knights were lined up with their backsides exposed, faces thrust into the latrine trenches.
They truly look like livestock… To think such atrocities are being committed against these proud female knights! This sensation of trampling upon their dignity… I, I can’t get enough of it!
It’s such a stimulating scene. I had just used Eunos-san’s body a moment ago, yet I’ve already got an erection…
”But it turned out to be an interesting result,” I said.
”The whole ‘pick one person you hate’ thing, right!” Ami-chan replied.
I had Lace Agate extract names from each of them individually. I monitored the results directly through the Dominator³ skill,
Most of the votes were concentrated on three specific individuals, with the rest scattered sporadically. I intend to use these top three to squeeze even more Ego Points out of this ranch.
”It looks like feeding time is going to continue for a while… I’ll craft some stamina enhancers to take back to Japan in the meantime.”
I was now capable of producing stamina enhancers up to Quality A. I tested them yesterday, and while the core effect isn’t different from Quality C, Quality A lasts significantly longer.
To be precise, it means sperm is constantly being synthesized over an extended period. Thanks to that, there’s no need to ingest them continuously like Quality C, so my stomach doesn’t end up sloshing with excess fluid.
However, since it takes time for the effect to dissipate, I must remain in an environment where I can keep ejaculating throughout the entire duration.
If the produced sperm is left inside for too long without being released, the entire reproductive organ begins to throb with intense heat.
I planned to manufacture several of these Quality A samples and provide them to Reika as prototypes.
”Ah! Feeding time is over!” Ami-chan shouted.
”You’re right. Well, shall we go? Ami-chan, if you please.”
”Sure thing!” Ami-chan said.
* * *
Using Ami-chan’s teleportation ability, we warped to the underground ranch. Because I appeared so abruptly, everyone wore expressions of profound shock.
”Wha—!?”
”The King of the Magic Labyrinth⁴…!?” one of them gasped.
That name has completely stuck… I hear it’s starting to propagate through the Kingdom and the Empire as well… well, that’s fine.
”Hey, good morning. My dear livestock.”
Most of them lay face down on the spot, adopting postures to ensure I couldn’t see their chests or private areas.
But I could see their backs and buttocks, and besides, I had already surveyed everyone’s anatomy in the chamber of the Great Phantasmal Soulstone.
”It seems everyone gave proper thought to choosing one person. Thanks to that, I now understand perfectly who is the most despised among you.”
”…….”
Some looked awkward, others looked apprehensive. I suppose the reactions were varied.
Throughout the night, they must have pondered why I made them name the person they hated most. They likely speculated on the reasons.
I bet some thought I might eliminate the hated ones… Everyone knows I’m looking for maids.
They likely assumed that someone with low ability, hated by everyone, wouldn’t be suitable as a maid to serve the King of the Magic Labyrinth.
”Now then… without further ado, I’ll announce the top three most hated. First, in third place: Mardira. Answer me.”
Everyone’s gaze gravitated toward a single woman. From her facial features, she looked like a timid girl.
”H-He… yes…” Mardira whispered.
Her voice was minuscule. Among the female knights, some had eyes that said, “Ah, as I thought.”
Mardira was a woman with navy blue hair styled in a bob cut. According to the stats I verified beforehand, she was 153cm tall with a B-cup.
She was on the shorter side for a female knight, and her physique didn’t appear particularly well-trained. She likely has a constitution that makes muscle hypertrophy difficult.
I moved directly in front of her.
”Mardira. You are the third most hated in this group… or rather, considered the most redundant. Why do you think that is?”
”…I… because I’m clumsy… I lack stamina, and I’m always holding everyone back…” Mardira replied.
Ah… Lace Agate did mention that there was a girl who looked like she was being bullied. It’s probably her.
Her self-esteem seems deficient as well. I myself have some recollection of feeling that way.
Ugh… looking at her, my chest started to ache for some reason…
”So you were cut as dead weight, then.”
”…Y-Yes…” Mardira whispered.
”Next. Second place is… Esrain.”
”Eh…” Esrain gasped.
This time, everyone’s gaze shifted to Esrain. She is one of only four Gurus⁵ in the Kingdom, and there is no doubt she is a precious asset.
”Impossible!? Why would Guru Esrain be chosen!?” Alvia shouted.
She wasn’t hanging today; like the other livestock, she was rolling on the floor with her hands bound behind her back.
”…The former commander says that, but Esrain, do you have any idea?” I asked.
”…Mm. Probably a grudge for siding with Alvia and raising a hand against the King of the Magic Labyrinth.” Esrain said.
”I thought so,” I remarked.
I agreed. To begin with, most of them come from privileged upbringings. Despite that, they are treated as livestock here.
Reflecting on the ‘welcome’ on the first day, they must feel the irrationality of why they are suffering like this.
And after two days, they begin to seek the cause of their misery… they start looking for someone to blame. Naturally, many would think it’s Alvia’s fault for her reckless, unilateral actions.
However, her name was not included in the targets for this selection. Thus, the animosity that was directed at Alvia converged onto Esrain, who had cast sorcery at me alongside her. Something like that.
”Now, for the announcement of first place. …Millrose.”
”What did you say!?” Millrose shouted.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the woman who shouted. So she’s Millrose.
She had cream-colored hair, distinct from blonde, styled in ringlets. I was impressed that she could maintain those curls in this environment where she couldn’t properly care for her hair.
Though not as much as Alvia, her body was well-conditioned. Her abdominal muscles were faintly split-ssu, and there was no superfluous fat. Despite that, the fact that only her breasts were significantly large was remarkable.
According to the stats I verified beforehand, she was 164cm tall with a D-cup. Her facial expression, unlike Mardira’s, looked very severe.
She looked like a high-pride noble lady… she possessed an atmosphere different from the twin sisters.
I walked over to her side.
”You gathered quite a number of votes. Do you have any self-awareness as to why you’re hated that much?” I asked.
”That is impossible-desuwa! I am not dead weight like Mardira, nor am I a simpleton like Alvia! If anything, I have been the one in control, ensuring this knight order did not lose its way!” Millrose declared.
No self-awareness of being hated… I see. She’s probably the type who commits power harassment without realizing it.
She has confidence in her own ability and was likely draconian toward those who were inferior.
”In any case, you three are the ones designated as unnecessary here. …Release them.”
Receiving the instruction, the maids untied the three. All three stood up, but they hid their chests and private areas with their hands.
I spoke once more to the female knights crawling on the floor.
”It’ll be easier for the rest of you without these three around, wouldn’t it? Rest assured, I intend to have these three take on a different role from the livestock.”
”…What do you intend to make us do-desuwa?” Millrose asked.
”That will be decided based on the interviews from here on.”
”Interviews, you say…?” Millrose muttered.
Well, I’ve already decided. For now, it’s just time to evaluate their personalities.
”I’ll hear from you separately later. In a while, a ladder leading to the ceiling will appear. Climb it and head to the surface.”
”…….”
Mardira was nervous and trembling throughout, while Esrain remained stoic. Millrose was glaring at the female knights who had cast votes against her.
Heh… hehehe… ku, hufufufu… This is perfect…! I don’t care if they’re the noble knights of Viorga⁶ or whatever, I’ll shatter them utterly…!
With that thought, I moved to the chamber of the Great Phantasmal Soulstone. Then, I installed the ladder leading to the ceiling.

Summary:
The protagonist checks the results of a ‘most hated’ vote among the captive female knights. Three women—Mardira, Esrain, and Millrose—are identified as the outcasts of the group. The protagonist decides to separate them from the ‘livestock’ for a different, yet undisclosed, purpose. He prepares to interview them individually after a morning session of replenishing his stamina.

Character Insight:
The protagonist shows a sadistic streak, reveling in the destruction of the knights’ dignity, yet he feels a momentary pang of empathy for Mardira, reflecting his own past insecurities. Millrose displays a classic ‘Ojou-sama’ arrogance, being completely oblivious to her own unpopularity, while Esrain remains pragmatically detached even in captivity.
