Chapter Title: How to Steal the Protagonist's Woman
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It was while I was back on the ship, enjoying a meal with the crew in the onboard cafeteria.
"Viola, you like that outfit?"
"Yes!"
Viola, who usually wore dresses, was dressed in a sailor's uniform just like Lena.
Viola in a pair of sailor trousers.
It was the first time I'd seen her in pants. Looking at her, I made a vow.
'...Gonna do it later!'
The moment I resolved to devour Lena and Viola in their sailor's uniforms.
Viola quietly spoke to Beatrice, who was fiddling with her spoon.
"Beabea... Beache? Is something wrong?"
...She still hasn't memorized her name?
As I stared at Viola in bewilderment, the elegant Beatrice in her gothic lolita dress set down her spoon and cautiously opened her mouth.
"I want to go to the Demon King's castle, nyang."
"“““...”””"
Beatrice dropped a bombshell out of nowhere.
...
...
"Oh, so you want to go say a proper goodbye?"
"That's right, nyang."
The gist of Beatrice's bombshell was that she wasn't leaving us—she wanted to properly greet the Demon King since she'd be staying here from now on.
Even as Beatrice explained herself properly, Viola was hugging her and crying.
"I thought you were leaving because you didn't like me!"
"It's a hassle, but I don't hate it, nyang."
"Hing... You're so mean."
She sure doesn't hold back.
Viola looked hurt but relieved at the same time.
'Come to think of it, we said we'd live together for a month and decide then.'
It had been about a month since we'd agreed to that with Beatrice—actually, even longer.
Fortunately, she said she really liked living here.
"Except for how boring the nights are, I like it here, nyang."
"That's a relief. We'll have to find something fun for nighttime."
She didn't sleep anyway, so at night she just wandered the ship.
The novelty of the ship would only last a day or two—after a month of it every day, she'd get bored.
'Not sleeping isn't all good.'
Even sharing space with others, living a different life didn't seem like a great one.
I asked Armonia.
"Armonia, mind if we pop over to the Demon King's castle for a bit?"
"You're welcome to go. Just please don't stay more than two days."
"Yeah, just a quick greeting. Won't take long. Beatrice, get ready."
Strike while the iron is hot—we finished eating and prepared to depart immediately.
...
...
Beatrice and I walked through the Demon King's castle interior, guided by a demon guarding the entrance.
"I thought it was impressive before, but this place is totally my style."
Dark purples and blackish reds rose from the floor like smoke, wrapping the walls and pillars, while menacing artworks greeted us.
It felt like we were being swallowed by the monster called the Demon King's castle.
"You kids standing guard properly these days, nyang?"
"Y-Yes! Everyone's been even more diligent since you left, Lady Beatrice."
"Heh... Anyone looking even a little tired today is getting a scolding from me, nyang!"
"Eek..."
"Hehe, just kidding, nyang."
"..."
Don't joke like that. You'll give the soldiers heart attacks and make them sleep eternally in their graves.
'...Now that I think about it, even dropping in unannounced like this, they'll at least prepare a bed, right?'
Yeah, considering he even granted that request to bring peace to Peron Duchy—our former enemy—he really seems to like me.
More importantly, only four days had passed here.
'So now that Beatrice is settled on our ship, time should flow normally here too, right?'
'Hmm... Next time, I should make time to visit Peron Duchy.'
Anything else aside, I really wanted to take Lena home at least once.
I could've taken her right now, but even if I warped there immediately, Peron's people would still be in chaos.
No matter that the Demon King had granted them freedom, it had only been four days.
Factoring in messenger time, the news of safety might not have even reached Peron yet.
'Lena's not in the warp room right now, is she?'
'Keep it secret. I'll surprise her and take her later.'
While I was communicating like that, Beatrice kept teasing the guiding demon.
I felt sorry for the demon but repeated my earlier caution.
"Make sure the humans living here don't notice we're here."
"Y-Yes, sir..."
Beatrice kept teasing the trembling demon as he replied.
"Your voice is so quiet, nyang~"
"S-Sorry!"
"Hehe."
"..."
The reign of terror from the two stars descends.
...
...
I received a warm welcome from Demon King Gardia, shared a meal, and was shown to my guest room for the night.
The moment I entered the room, I flopped onto the bed and hummed contentedly.
"Whew... So full. Ilunia food's tasty, but the seasoning's a bit weak."
Lying alone on the guest room bed, I looked around.
'This is the room Viola and I stayed in before.'
'Coming here alone now... feels kinda bad.'
I'd left Viola and Lena on the ship this time.
I considered bringing them for some fun, but it felt like it'd just be a rushed one-night stay, so I put it off.
Besides, the original plan was to greet and leave immediately.
The reason I couldn't leave right now was the warp usage limit.
After returning and eating on the ship, we'd come straight here, so I'd hit the daily warp limit.
'Armonia, how do I increase the warp usage?'
'...Pass.'
Filthy. Goddamn Enel....
But she explained that paying 500,000 Enel for extra warps also reduced recharge time—from 12 hours per charge to 8.
'Someday when I have spare cash...'
I mumbled to myself and gazed out the window.
The sunset cast an orange glow over the castle grounds, where demons bustled about.
And something caught my eye.
The noble ladies residing in the Demon King's castle were marching in orderly rows somewhere.
'Oh, the girls. Wonder how they've been.'
Truth be told, I didn't really care how they'd been. I was just curious seeing their faces.
That was why I'd told the demons not to let my visit slip.
'Nah, not because of that.'
Them pestering me wasn't a big issue.
While I was at it—kill two birds with one stone, resolve Beatrice's issue, and spend the night with the noble ladies here.
'Pfft, no way. Why would I sleep with them just to scratch an itch?'
Bluntly put, with Viola and Lena around, no need to bed these girls for that.
Viola and Lena were on a whole different level from these noble ladies.
No reason to look elsewhere when I had them.
Armonia asked, as if unable to comprehend.
'I'll show you later.'
I grinned slyly and watched the sun fully set.
...
...
"I knew you'd come!"
The noble ladies of various appearances swarmed me, clinging and sobbing.
Even though only four days had passed here, the chains of hope must have turned every day into hell for them.
Humans are delicate scales balanced between hope and despair—once it tips, there's no going back.
Even reluctant to lose the weights already placed, they keep adding more until the scale breaks—that's their only future.
The noble ladies grabbed my clothes, faces swollen with anticipation, and spoke.
"You're taking us now, right!?"
"Didn't expect you so soon!?"
"You missed us, didn't you!?"
I told the pleading women.
"Ah, sorry. Not yet."
"Ah..."
The noble ladies bowed their heads in despair, starting to sob.
Thinking I needed to calm them first, I comforted them.
"This time, I couldn't hold back and came to see you. Next time, I'll definitely take you."
"Really!? You'll take us next time for sure!?"
"Of course."
I smiled outwardly while laughing inwardly.
'Today's the last day you'll see me.'
...
...
Patricia lay on the bed, breathing seductively with legs spread.
"Haa... Haa..."
From the lewdly exposed slit between her legs, my thick semen leaked out due to her womb's contractions.
I'd creampied all six wombs, but my load wasn't lacking at all.
For Patricia, it was more accurate to say it overflowed between her legs.
Ignoring the semen dripping from her ass onto the bed, I closely examined the pattern engraved on her lower abdomen.
Truth be told, the real reason I wanted to come here was this inscription.
I planned to test how effective the inscription—which I'd only used on Min Ha-yeon so far—would be on these noble ladies.
Couldn't just shove Min Ha-yeon's Sexual Trait in arbitrarily.
'Time to try inscribing one.'
'First... let's try a sentence!'
I wrote an absurdly long sentence.
-When the sun sets, Exposure Sexual Trait activates, simultaneously creating Urination Sexual Trait causing immediate incontinence there, and arousal with leaking love juices every time seeing a demon.-
'...Possible?'
I'd half-expected it, but no dice.
'Aw...'
Sarcasm or sincere? Hard to tell...
Anyway, I got the gist of this inscription system.
Sentence form was allowed, but only one Sexual Trait total.
Sentence-type Sexual Traits seemed to let you attach multiple conditions to a single word-type one.
For example, just "Exposure" makes a total exhibitionist, but "Enjoys thrilling exposure at night" makes her strip sneakily at night where no one sees.
Same Exposure, different flavor.
'Once inscribed, can I change it?'
Meaning, carelessly inscribing and erasing could cause split personality or worse.
Extreme case, sure...
'Oof... Gotta use this carefully.'
'...'
Gonna be extremely careful...
Apparently, since I'd used the Subjugation skill to inscribe it, erasure was cheap for me.
Erasing innate ones cost astronomical Enel.
'Relapse?'
What, Enel isn't omnipotent?
'Heh... So even after the hassle and cost, it might be pointless?'
'Aha! So that's why they reincarnate.'
God's agents can maintain protagonists' youth with Enel, but don't—because of the maintenance cost versus negative traits.
No matter how perfect a protagonist, they're living beings with instability.
Armonia said even Schutra's director was a rare genius across the universe.
'That guy's that impressive, huh... Hm?'
As I listened to Armonia's explanations, Patricia clung to my arm, giggling.
"What're you thinking about?"
"Oh... this and that..."
I brushed it off with a smile.
But Patricia glanced around at the women collapsed asleep on the bed.
Confirming they were out, she pressed her lips to my ear and whispered softly.
"One of them's got a thing for Berius."
