Chapter Title: Isekai Perk: The More Sex, the Stronger You Get (3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Even if I was putting on a disguise, why did it have to be a 'playboy' of all things? It really puts me in an awkward position.
...I didn't complain about it, though. Surprisingly, this world's setting was pretty tolerant of that sort of thing. The Saintess had acknowledged my abilities, and thanks to that, with the Kingdom of Setin's support, I got to enjoy a daily routine of banging brothel girls.
"Aaahn! Hero, haa... Make me cum with your holy sword! Aaahn!"
"Aaah... Is it my turn now? Haaa... Come on in, subjugate my pussy!"
Food, shelter, and sexual needs—all taken care of. What could be better?
I'd been thrown off by the unexpected turn of events at first, but there wasn't a better route than this. If I'd ended up as a 'home security guard,' I wouldn't have gotten this kind of treatment. It really was true that opportunity followed crisis.
"Bro... Sorry, but could you keep it down a bit at night? The walls are thinner than they look."
"Ah, uh... You heard all that? Sorry. I'll be careful."
"Nah, no need to apologize... But you look like you've lost some weight?"
"Y-yeah? That's good."
By the way, the hero party was training hard.
You need at least some strength to tackle dungeons, right? Everyone was putting in daily effort, making the most of the abilities granted by the Goddess. We'd probably start dungeon subjugations around next week. I was already looking forward to it.
"Bro's working hard too, huh?"
"Uh... Yeah, something like that."
And what about me...?
It might sound weird coming from me, but I was giving it my all too.
-Kying!
"I-I lost."
"Ooh, as expected of the Hero! Amazing!"
"Beating a knight after just two weeks with a sword... We salute you!"
Since things had turned out this way, why not make use of the 'playboy' gimmick?
So I'd lied and said I had skills like 'Get stat buffs for a set period after sex' or 'Stats increase the more partners you have,' then pretended to get stronger accordingly while playing the part of a musclehead who relied on raw power.
"Still, getting this strong in a single day... Is growth like this even possible?"
"Ah, well... Turns out the prostitute who came yesterday was a virgin... Haha."
"Aha! If it's a virgin, no helping it. Even the Goddess's power must factor those in."
"Virgins are a big deal, after all."
"Exactly. Virgins definitely count."
If I played this right, I could even use it for NTR... I'd have to think it through carefully.
"So, what'd he say? He'll keep it down?"
"Yeah. Said he'd be more careful from now on."
"Sigh, that idiot Yosuke. What a total sleaze. How can he do... that every single day without fail? What the hell's in his head? Pervert! Trash! Otaku!"
"Rin... Don't be too harsh. The kingdom's forcing some of it on him."
"...Really?"
"He's grumbled to me over ten times already about being exhausted but having to stay up late again tonight. Bro's probably reached enlightenment by now."
"Still... He could at least keep it quiet enough not to bother the neighbors!"
"That's on them for reacting so much. Don't get too mad."
"Fine... If you're sticking up for him that much, I guess I don't have much to say... Ugh, whatever. It's settled now, right?"
Sigh... That's not it at all...
Today, I ended up showing Shosuke my ugly side again. He must be disappointed for sure. I hadn't meant to curse him out... But I couldn't hold back my anger this time either. How many times has it been now? I know I shouldn't... But whenever I'm in front of Shosuke, I turn into an idiot.
Can't I just stay calm for once? Sure, Yosuke pulled some pervert crap, but he's still Shosuke's big brother. I should've shown some respect... Argh, my irritation just builds up more every day.
If it's gonna be like this, I never should've fallen for him in the first place. How did I even end up liking him and going through all this? Back in the old days, I wouldn't have had these worries... Sigh, I hate myself.
"Yeah. But Rin, you okay? Your face looks off today. You feeling sick?"
"Wh-what? You're too close!"
"Huh? What is?"
"I'm totally fine, so back off! You trying to copy Yosuke now?"
No, no. The one I should hate isn't me—it's this guy.
We're not even dating, so why's he acting so friendly? It's making me misunderstand again! This dumbass is shaving years off my life today too. Sigh, in ways like this, Yosuke's actually better. At least there's no room for misinterpretation. If you ignore the sleaziness...
Ugh, whatever. The Hasegawa brothers are the problem.
"Hey, Rin. You free this weekend?"
"W-weekend? Uh... Maybe?"
"If not, no big deal."
"Hey! You gotta ask at least three times for stuff like this!"
"...So you are free?"
"Maybe? Why?"
"Wanna go shopping together? We should sightsee the capital before heading out to subjugate."
Wait... Is this for real?
A sudden date invite... Does he finally see me that way? My heart, which I'd forced to stay calm, started pounding wildly again. J-just the two of us touring the capital? That has to mean he likes me! I thought that fox Hina had him bewitched, but in the end, the final winner is...
"Hina brought it up first. And for some reason, bro's coming too."
"......Ha."
"Huh? What'd you say?"
"I'll go. I'm going. Happy now?"
"Rin? Wait, where you going? We weren't done talking!"
"Bathroom! Don't follow me!"
"......Some unexpected faces here?"
"Ah, well, since we're all going anyway, thought it'd be better together. Brought bro and Rin. That cool?"
"...Yes, of course."
How can this guy be so oblivious? I noticed it back in our original world too—he really fits the 'blind to romance' stereotype. Does he seriously not realize I was indirectly asking him out? It's too much.
"Thanks, as expected of Hina. You're so kind."
"Eek... Don't praise me for something this obvious."
"Huh? Wasn't really praise. Just saying you're kind."
"You really are..."
Well, better than getting rejected outright.
At least we get to be together. I'll use this chance to show off my feminine charms and prove I'm the girl who suits Shosuke best. Rin's a nice girl and all, but she's not right for him, is she? Time she learned her place today.
"No, stop. That's a rip-off. The price is way off. We're looking like total newbies, so they're jacking it up."
"10 silver's a rip-off?"
"Customer! What're you saying? Rip-off? How dare— Uh, what's that?"
"Figured something like this might happen, so I p-prepared in advance. Got it from the scribe: official capital prices. Says mid-grade potions are 5 silver, right?"
"Whoa, bro, what's up with that? You're so prepared."
"F-fantasy genre's... my thing."
But... surprisingly, the one shining wasn't me—it was Yosuke. The power of an otaku? Probably from reading all those comics and novels in the genre; he led us naturally.
As expected of Shosuke's brother?
First impressions were the absolute worst, but he didn't seem useless. Could be helpful going forward? Might be good to act a bit friendlier now.
Still don't like his face... but at least he looks human now. Guess he worked hard on a diet? If you're isekai'd, you give it your all—something like that, maybe.
"Yosuke, Yosuke! How's this earring? Otaku eyes, go!"
"Pretty, but... to ch-check, infuse some mana. Street artifacts like this, you can appraise."
"Bro, says it's a homeless survival set? Might need something like this?"
"We're getting separate support, so no need. Plus, d-dungeons are enclosed spaces. Gotta consider that."
Wait... that's practically expert level?
His stuttering annoyed me, but all the info was helpful. 'A fool and scissors depend on the user'—that's exactly it. Hasegawa Yosuke... just a little, really just a tiny bit... he looks different today.
