Second Life in Another World (2)
Second Life in Another World (2)
Several men were surrounding two women.
Holding a mace and a sword respectively, they warned the men surrounding them.
"Don't come any closer...!"
Watching them, the men replied lecherously.
"Hehehe, don't play hard to get."
"Ladies, let's just get along."
The encirclement was tightening.
And Lee Seo-jun, who had been watching from hiding, nodded.
'Just like the original work.'
Those two women are the heroines of the original work.
The early story is about the protagonist saving them to form a bond.
'Then, shall I give it a try?'
He pushed through the bushes and stepped out.
And lightly drew their attention to himself.
"Hey, old men. Go do that kind of stuff to your own wives at home, why do it to these kids?"
"What the? What's your business? You're dressed like someone I haven't seen around these parts."
Ignoring the man who seemed to be the leader, Lee Seo-jun cast his gaze at the women behind him.
Both of them had top-tier appearances even by the standards of his original world.
The woman in the monk's habit had long, gently wavy blonde hair and slightly drooping blue eyes.
Wrapped around her entire body was a black-based outfit similar to what people in a profession called nuns in his original world wore.
However, that plain outfit was being stretched to its limit from the inside by a body so voluptuous—the only word that came to mind was "stacked"—that it seemed to be flauntingly catering to men's desires.
The woman shielding the other woman behind her was the same.
She had sharp, slightly upturned black eyes and long, glossy jet-black hair tied in a ponytail.
Her figure was slightly behind the beauty behind her in terms of volume, but she also had a body with curves in all the right places.
She was wearing a black shirt, something like a red hakama (Japanese-style outer garment), and was equipped with what looked like steel shoulder armor, a chest plate, and arm guards.
'They're incredibly pretty.'
Both were exactly as he had seen in the illustrations.
No, to be precise, it felt like 2D and reality were naturally blended.
'They definitely have a realistic appearance, but they also look like the art style I saw on screen.'
It was fascinating.
To think he could see them like this even though his eyesight was perfectly fine.
Was it thanks to that?
'......I'm reacting.'
His dick, which had been hard to get up even with real women, was reacting.
With this, the possibility of him escaping his virginity had emerged.
After verifying a few more times, he decided to graduate from virginity in this world.
And as for the partner.
'They would be good.'
He was a man, too.
If he was going to graduate from virginity, he wanted to do it with a pretty woman.
However, as an otaku, there was something that bothered him.
Could he really lay a hand on them?
Because he knew the term "respect for the original work," he was inevitably conflicted.
However, that was only for a moment.
'This is not the official history.'
It was a world implemented solely by his ability.
In other words, if applied to reality, it's the same as a fan-made parody.
Even if he wrote a parody with a Mary Sue protagonist, no harm would come to the original work.
'No matter how many mangas there are on Hitomi, it doesn't harm the original work.'
No matter how much of a ruckus he caused, it was a fact only he knew.
It wouldn't harm the fans of the original work, let alone the original author.
That means, in other words.
'It means I can do whatever I want.'
Well, he had already thrown away any respect for the original work the moment he killed the original protagonist.
However, that didn't mean he intended to force himself on them right away.
It was a commemorative first experience.
If possible, he wanted to experience it normally.
He had his own romantic side too.
It was when Lee Seo-jun was thinking such things.
The black-haired woman shouted.
"I don't know who you are, but run! These guys are soldiers from the Mercenary Kingdom! It's dangerous, so don't get involved in our business and run away quickly!"
"Is that so?"
"Oh-ho."
Lee Seo-jun was inwardly impressed.
It would be normal to scream for help, but to think of others before herself.
She was a woman with a proper sense of decency.
He liked her very much.
"Hehehe, you heard her, right? If you just pass by, we'll let you go. We're very busy people. It's a loss to shake down a guy like you who doesn't look like he has anything, so go quietly while we're letting you."
"Why should I?"
Lee Seo-jun shrugged at the words of the man who seemed to be the leader.
And then, with a face full of mockery, he opened his mouth.
"Why would I be scared of small-fry like you?"
"You little shit."
The eyes of the man who seemed to be the leader changed.
The guy raised his hand to point his sword at Lee Seo-jun.
It was at that very moment.
Thwack-!
Along with a loud roar, the body of the man who seemed to be the leader was shot backward.
He only stopped flying after breaking a few trees.
Lee Seo-jun remained with his fist extended.
"Huh?"
The group of men around him made sounds of panic.
Lee Seo-jun didn't even give them time to think and knocked them all down in an instant.
He had held back appropriately, so they would probably be fully healed after resting quietly for a few weeks.
'Is it thanks to the Taijutsu skill? For some reason, using my body feels more natural and comfortable than before.'
Tap tap, as he was dusting off his dirty hands, a voice came from behind.
"Um...."
"Yeah?"
Turning around, he saw the woman in the monk's habit approaching him with the woman in armor.
Seeing them up close, they looked more like beautiful young girls rather than mature beauties.
In contrast to the girl in armor who was blatantly wary, the girl in the monk's habit bowed politely to Lee Seo-jun.
"Thank you for saving us."
"I didn't meddle unnecessarily, did I?"
He asked, looking at the girl in armor.
At that, the girl in armor shook her head.
"No, thank you so much. We wouldn't have been able to handle them on our own."
"Nah, they're just guys without weapons."
"Do you not know about the Mercenary Kingdom? The soldiers of the Mercenary Kingdom are all masters of combat. They can defeat someone armed with a weapon even with their bare hands."
"Is that so?"
It had been a while since he read it, so he didn't have information on such extras.
The girl in armor, who had been watching him with a strange look, muttered.
"To not know the Mercenary Kingdom, you're a strange person."
"Ah, I'm from another world, so I don't really know."
At his answer, the expressions of the two girls changed from surprise to interest.
"A Lost One? I've heard stories a few times, but this is my first time actually meeting one."
"If you're a Lost One, it's certainly no wonder you wouldn't know about the Mercenary Kingdom."
As in the original work, they accepted the existence of people from another world quickly.
Shouting "jackpot" internally, Lee Seo-jun opened his mouth.
"I'm glad you understand. I'm Lee Seo-jun."
The girls looked at each other blankly.
They soon came to their senses and bowed their heads again, looking flustered as they spoke.
"Ah, I'm late in introducing myself to our benefactor. I am Rona Chevalier, a trainee monk."
"I am Sion Femme Fatale, a trainee swordsman. Should I call you Lee-nim?"
"Ah, Lee is my surname. Seo-jun is my first name. You don't need the -nim, so just call me Seo-jun. If the pronunciation is difficult, 'Jun' is fine too."
"Seo-jun, Seo-jun... Hmm, that's a unique way of naming. By any chance, do they name everyone like that in the other world?"
Lee Seo-jun shook his head at Sion's question.
"No. Not everyone, just in the country where I live."
"Aha, I see."
"Um, rather than that, shouldn't we move along? I think it'll get troublesome if those people wake up."
"Sounds good."
Thus, they finished their conversation and moved out of the forest.
The three of them walked along the forest path.
The two were walking ahead, and Lee Seo-jun was following behind them.
Rona, who was walking ahead, asked Lee Seo-jun.
"Um, Seo-jun-ssi, when did you come here?"
"A little while ago."
"You just arrived, and you're already that strong? You're truly amazing."
"That's right. Usually, when Lost Ones come here, they are mostly confused at first. Rou is saying it's amazing that you knocked out the soldiers with that kind of movement as soon as you arrived."
"Rou?"
"People close to me call me that."
Rona explained with a smile.
Lee Seo-jun nodded at that.
"That aside, why are you two in a place like this?"
"Oh my, even after hearing that, you're still calling me by that name?"
"Should I call you by your nickname?"
"It would be an honor if Seo-jun-ssi called me that."
Rona smiled brightly.
Lee Seo-jun chuckled.
"I'll do that after we get to know each other a bit more."
"Fufu, I'll look forward to it."
"More than that, what about the answer to the question I asked?"
"Hmm, well, about that."
Sion began to explain.
The two were affiliated with the Adventurer's Guild of the Trident Duchy, and they had come to solve a request.
The content of the request was to exterminate goblins that had recently appeared in the Pioneer Village outside the forest.
There were originally eight of them, but the mercenaries he had just knocked down had betrayed them.
"You're unlucky."
"Hmm, that's true."
"Still, thanks to that, we met Seo-jun-ssi, so it was actually a good thing."
She speaks so nicely, too.
Lee Seo-jun liked these two people.
Not just their looks, but their personalities too.
So, hoping that an opportunity would come soon, Lee Seo-jun smacked his lips.
