Volume 1 Chapter 23 12Th Night Of Tragedy
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
That evening, during dinner, the usual trio was joined by my arch-nemesis, Lina, who was suffering from spontaneous fireball syndrome.
Today, her favorite foods—sausage and thinly sliced fried potato chips—were on the menu. Additionally, they served alcohol, a type of fruit wine made from fermenting the fruit called “haisuki.” Sweet and smooth, it was particularly popular among women. Lina was already on her third cup.
”Seriously, why are you the ‘master’ of Elder Sister Milly?!”
Maybe the alcohol was affecting her; her behavior was growing increasingly strange.
”I like Elder Sister way more than you do!!”
Lina? Are you sure you haven’t had too much to drink?”
Annabella asked with concern. Lina moved behind Milly and started to grope her chest.
”I made my elder sister’s chest bigger! You came in and stole her away! Do you understand how I feel?!”
She was completely drunk. If she got any more tipsy and had a fit (fireball), it would be a disaster. I was definitely the one who would catch fire.
”Hey, are you listening?!”
Before I knew it, Lina had grabbed my collar. Her face was close to mine. I could see my reflection in Lina’s glistening blue eyes. Her cheeks were flushed pink. Upon closer inspection, Lina had a pretty face too. She might not have the chest or height of Milly or Annabella, but she was a different type of beautiful girl… if only it weren’t for that fireball fit.
”Hmm… what’s this?”
Lina was acting strangely. Had she really drunk too much?
”Lina, are you okay? Aren’t you drinking too much?”
”…Ugh, you’re so annoying. I can handle this much!”
Lina brushed my hand away and turned toward Milly. Her face looked really red; was she really okay?
”Elder Sister! Elder Sister!! Elder Sister!!!”
Lina, as if shaking something off, buried her face in Milly’s chest.
”Lina…”
”No! That’s not it! It absolutely can’t be happening!”
Lina’s behavior was clearly strange.
”Ms. Annabella, Lina is acting weird. Call the doctor!”
”Hey! I’m telling you, it’s nothing!!”
Lina turned to me, swaying, and suddenly had a fit (fireball). Zing! I smelled something burning. Looking over, I saw part of my right shoulder was charred and had a keloid-like appearance. Seriously! This time, it really got burned! My HP bar had dropped to about half.
””Ahh.””
The other women gasped. Lina was shaking uncontrollably.
”No! I didn’t mean to hit you! I swear, I really didn’t!”
Lina screamed in a half-crazed state. Milly pushed Lina away and rushed over, hurriedly casting healing light on my wound.
”Kent! Are you okay!! I’ll take the pain away right now!! Hang in there!!!”
Milly shouted as if she was scared of something. The pain quickly eased, and the keloid-like skin turned into a nice pink color. Annabella helped me change into fresh clothes.
”I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…”
Lina huddled in the corner of the room, shaking and repeating her apologies like a broken record. Her eyes were empty and devoid of strength.
”Lina… Until now, Kent has been forgiving, but today, what you did is something I can’t forgive. If things had gone wrong, Kent’s life could have been in danger.”
Milly’s words to Lina were the coldest and most emotionless I’d ever heard. Lina’s body jolted in response.
”Elder Sister, it’s not like that! I really didn’t mean to hit him… Eeek.”
”Well, Milly, it’s okay. It got healed properly with the healing light.”
”K-Kent! What are you saying! I almost got killed!”
Milly looked at me with a face that said “I can’t believe this.”
”No way! Sir Kent! You need to set things straight!”
The one who raised her voice was Annabella. She also seemed to be angry. Annabella whispered something to Milly. Milly nodded.
”Lina… What would you do if Kent killed me?”
”What!? I’ll kill that guy! I’ll make sure he’s gone without a trace!”
”This is the same as that!”
Lina collapsed at Milly’s words.
”I’ll pay you damages, as much as you want, please forgive me! I really didn’t mean to hurt you! Please forgive me, Elder Sister.”
Lina apologized, rubbing her head on the floor.
”I don’t need monetary compensation. I’ll have you executed as an attempted assassin of the Blackdagger family head.”
Lina was stunned by Milly’s harsh condition.
”No! It wasn’t on purpose! Why are you being so harsh?”
”Milly, please don’t do this!”
I wondered what had gotten into Milly, talking about taking a life over a couple of fireballs.
”Ke, Kent… Being too nice won’t get you far in life!”
Please, Milly.
I don’t want to see you do this.
”Damn it, Lina… Be grateful for Kent’s generosity. I’ll give you a choice. Either offer your body as a s*x sl*ve for this incident or have your head taken off by me as an attempted assassin.”
Milly spoke in a suppressed voice.
”Which do you prefer?”
”Milly, it’s really okay. Lina probably didn’t mean it.”
Lina turned her pale, lifeless face towards me.
Even for her, it was pitiful to choose between being a sex slave or death for something like that.
”Kent, be quiet…”
Milly announced again in a suppressed voice.
”Lina… Choose between being a s*x sl*ve or dying.”
Milly pressed a dagger against Lina’s neck.
”Elder Sister… Forgive me… I really didn’t mean to…”
Lina answered while crying.
”Which one?”
Milly said mercilessly.
”Ugh… Ugh… I’ll be a s*x sl*ve… I’ll be Kent’s s*x sl*ve. Please don’t kill me, I’ll offer my body.”
Milly added, as if to further torment Lina.
”Since you haven’t fulfilled your nightly duties (Sexual Prowess skill activated) yet, Lina, you’re going to join too! Satisfy Kent, or I’ll kill you if you don’t!”
At Milly’s announcement, Lina broke down in tears.

How did it come to this?
In the washing area of the bathhouse, three women, completely n*ked, are washing my body.
Annabella, Milly, and Lina.
Lina, with her petite frame, straddles my lap and licks my injured right shoulder.
Watching her diligently lick my wound, I couldn’t help but embrace her.
”Hey, hey, you! Don’t suddenly get frisky and hug me!”
Zing!
Lina has a Spontaneous Fireball Syndrome, but the fireball quickly dissipates.
Around her neck, she wears a pendant with a silver medal-like object.
This pendant is a magical tool called the ‘Demon-Sucking Pendant’.
It seems to be a tool created to seal a magician’s magic.
It absorbs up to intermediate-level attack magic and, once a certain amount is accumulated, it generates something called a ‘magic stone’.
It originally belonged to Milly, but to prevent a relapse and ensure my safety, she had Lina wear it.
Lina herself is unable to remove it.
So, the Spontaneous Fireball Syndrome are no longer a concern.
Without her magic, Lina is just a small and weak girl.
I can ravage her as I please.
”Lina, serve him properly!”
Milly scolds her.
”Eeek, Elder Sister Milly… I understand.”
Lina presses her body against mine and continues washing me.
Honestly, compared to Milly and Annabella, she lacks volume, but seeing her trying her best to wash me, the ‘Beast’ within me roars.
”Lina, you don’t have to do this if you really hate it.”
”You! After making me do something this embarrassing, what are you saying now? If I don’t do it, Elder Sister will kill me…”
Lina, in a panic from my words, resumes her service.
”Milly, since you’ve gone this far, it’s fine. Let her off, it’s too much to make her serve someone she hates…”
”Kent, you’re too kind. She almost killed you. Kent has the right to free Lina, and of course, the right to kill her too.”
”E… Elder Sister…”
But Milly hadn’t forgiven Lina.
Even Milly couldn’t stomach what had happened.
”First, let’s soak in the bathtub so we don’t catch a cold. Then we’ll think about it.”
Following Annabella’s suggestion, we washed ourselves and soaked in the bathtub.
”Ahh, this feels so good. Baths are the best.”
I tried to ease the tense atmosphere filled with tension, but there was no response.
Milly was on my right, Annabella on my left, and Lina was perched on my outstretched leg.
”Hey, you! Don’t you want to make me your s*x sl*ve?!”
Lina seemed anxious, probably because I wasn’t enthusiastic.
”No, it’s not that I don’t want to. I just thought that since Lina doesn’t like it, we shouldn’t go that far.”
Zing!
The fireball was absorbed.
Lina’s face turned bright red.
”You idiot! If you don’t let me perform my sexual duties (Sexual Prowess Skill activated), I’ll be killed by Elder Sister Milly! And I, I don’t hate you, really. It’s just that it’s my first time doing my sexual duties (Sexual Prowess Skill activated), so please be gentle…”
Is that so? I thought she hated me a lot.
”It seems like it’s settled then. To be honest, Sir Kent, it’s quite a task for her to be your night partner, even with Lady Miriallia and me.”
Annabella had a self-satisfied look on her face.
Well, I’m aware that I tend to overdo things, but some of the responsibility lies with Milly and Annabella too.
”So, Lina, are you sure about this?”
”Yes! Lina Dorman will serve Majin Kent as his s*x sl*ve, or rather, you make me do it!”
Hearing Lina’s words, I decided to embrace her.
If I had to do something to prevent Milly from killing her, I would.
The root of this situation was that I had asked Milly to be a tutor.
I felt truly sorry for Lina, who had been dragged into this.
”Lady Miriallia, is that alright? It’s Sir Kent’s order.”
”There won’t be a next time, Lina…”
”Y-yes… I won’t do it again. So please, forgive me, Elder Sister!”
”Miriallia Blackdagger will grant forgiveness as long as Lina Dorman continues to serve Kent with all her heart.”
”Elder Sister!”
After we finished our bath, we headed to the bedroom.
Did Lina slip up?
Lina was half-forced into her duties.
It’s sad, even if it’s her own fault.
Still, Ms. Milly seems like she might turn yandere…
If the cheat-level Milly becomes yandere, who could stop her…
