Chapter Title: How to Steal the Protagonist's Woman
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"...Underwear... is it?"
The thing they were looking at was a silver chastity belt that gleamed faintly.
According to the information from Armonia, this world didn't have such a thing as a chastity belt.
If one had been invented, Viola would probably have been the first to wear it.
Just thinking about it gave me chills...
I started hawking the item to the women like a subway vendor, piling on explanations left and right.
"It's lightweight, and tough enough that even a decent demon couldn't force it off. It incorporates cutting-edge technology from a foreign land!"
"Wow!"
'Heh heh, but that thing really has a long lifespan, right?'
It accumulated energy from body heat and used that for the fingerprint recognition.
Plus, the environment wouldn't allow the technology to leak out.
The women kept poking and prodding the silver chastity belt, full of curiosity.
They had never heard of a chastity belt before, and they were women who mistook it for a crisis of being raped.
For now, they'd be desperate to avoid the dangerous situation in front of them.
Once I confirmed a certain level of acceptance from them, I explained all the functions.
If the person whose fingerprint was registered grabbed both ends of the panties, it would open up for removal.
And the most important part: the design forced the remover to hold onto the underwear.
It was a chastity belt that bound the remover's fingers, preventing them from pulling away once the wearer's underwear was off.
And only when the original wearer put the underwear back on could the fingers be withdrawn.
'I was honestly worried it might be too expensive with all these features.'
According to Armonia, someone of Lena's caliber could shatter it effortlessly with her strength.
But there were no outliers like that among the nobles here, so no problem.
And the fingerprint registrant... well, it didn't have to be an adult.
There were various functions, but I explained that the tech was far simpler than the superconducting bullets I'd used before.
"The bottom line is, those guys could never force it off at their level. Plus, it's lightweight."
"...Couldn't you just take me with you? Master..."
The one who spoke was the feisty noble girl from yesterday.
Her face was completely different from yesterday.
No trace of that fierce, strong expression remained—only a pitiful, pitiable look.
And it wasn't "us" anymore. Just a lone "me."
The other women, hearing that, hurriedly started pleading too.
"Me too!"
"Please, Master!"
"..."
The women's faces showed hope that maybe, just maybe, they could take one more along.
'Since it's come to this, should I give it a go?'
'No, that's not it.'
It was true that these women still had a noble air about them and were on the pretty side.
But that wasn't the main point.
'If I just up and leave without a care, these women have no future.'
'No... True despair comes from hope.'
If I slept with these women today, acted like I'd come back later, and left them with that promise, they'd believe it hook, line, and sinker.
That I'd definitely return...
'I'll tell them that when I come back, I'll definitely take them away.'
'And as they wait and wait, even when they give up, it'll be so ingrained that they'll live in despair forever.'
That would be sufficient revenge for what she did to Lena.
Above all, the longer these women lived, the deeper into hell I could drag that little brat.
'Ugh, I was saving it up for Lena tonight. Well, no guarantee she'd go for it anyway. Might as well test the waters with these...'
I gave it a little poke with the women in front of me.
"Even if it's impossible now, in 1-2 years..."
"R-Really? I'll do anything, I swear!"
The feisty noble girl wormed her way between my legs and looked up at me.
Everyone stared at her in shock.
I pretended to think deeply for a moment, then stroked her head and said,
"I was pretty harsh yesterday. You sure you're okay with that?"
"..."
The woman between my legs looked up at me as I smoothed her hair, her face like a puppy's, and said,
"I... I actually like that kind of thing !"
"Slurp... Sluuuurp... Hnng..."
"Mm... Feels good."
"Hnn... Thank you..."
"Heh heh..."
A naked woman lay prone on the bed, looking up at me as she gave me a blowjob.
This woman, who introduced herself as Patricia, had been a virgin until just a bit ago.
Until she offered herself to me...
And on the bed, it wasn't just me and her—other women were tangled up together too.
They were all exhausted, lying asleep around my body.
The bed was stained here and there with dried blood and love juices.
"Wait just 1-2 years, and I'll definitely come back for you."
"...You mean it?"
"But I travel the world, not just here, and I run into big troubles sometimes, so who knows what'll happen."
"Oh..."
Patricia, who had been glaring at me with axe eyes just yesterday, now just sadly lapped at my cock.
I stroked her and said,
"Still, I'll come for sure. Even if it's late, I'll come take you away."
"R-Really?! I'll wait no matter what... Hnng..."
At my words, she beamed and dove back into the blowjob.
'Yeah, please wait for me...'
'Oh, right! Well, it'll work out somehow...'
I could just lie again when the time came.
What mattered to these women wasn't the cruel truth.
Vain lies would be the driving force of their lives.
Honestly, there was no guarantee I could take a Demon King's direct subordinate later anyway...
After draining the last of what was left in my balls, I fell asleep surrounded by the women.
Seven people were tangled up on the bed.
The women, whose spirits had been crushed until this morning, now moved with noticeably lighter steps after just one round with me.
While bonding with them, I'd boosted their morale with all sorts of lies.
They'd probably live with overflowing zeal for life for a while.
And in this atmosphere, a certain task came to mind.
"Patricia."
"Yes!"
Just hearing her name called made her so happy that she approached me naked.
I asked her for one favor.
"Sorry, but could you change clothes and bring the little brat?"
"...? Who's the little brat?"
"...Who was it again."
I couldn't remember the brat's name...
'Blueberry or something?'
"Oh, that Berius kid. Go bring him."
"Sure~"
Patricia beamed as she dressed and left the cabin.
The women around, seeing her go, cautiously started getting off the bed to dress.
I stopped them right away.
"Ignore that guy and just stay comfy."
"B-But... Berius..."
She must be royalty after all. Even if called a blockhead, they showed basic courtesy in front of him.
"Forget it. You're not his subordinates. From now on, he'll be handling your personal chores."
"...?"
The women looked at me with uncomprehending expressions.
They lay back on the bed naked, as per my words.
A short while later, there was a knock at the cabin door.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Uh, come in."
Patricia entered first, followed by the brat.
The moment the brat came in, his face turned beet red and he whipped his head away.
"Wh-What..."
Patricia was flustered too.
She looked at the women with an expression asking why no one was dressed.
"Patricia, you come back in and lie down comfy too."
"Uh... Yes!"
She hesitated a moment, but true to her obedient nature toward me, she stripped right off and jumped onto the bed, snuggling into my arms.
Watching that, Berius muttered under his breath.
"Th-They're insane..."
"You come here too. Oh, not that I'm telling you to strip and get on the bed."
"D-Don't screw around! Why would I..."
The women snickered as the brat waddled over bow-legged.
In the past, it might've seemed cute, but now no one liked him.
Seeing the arrogant punk act like that probably felt satisfying.
The brat stood before me, tears welling up, and said,
"Wh-What did you do to the Lady...?"
"...?"
"S-Since you came... the Lady's been suffering... What did you do!"
"..."
What a fucking asshole...
He had no clue he was the root of all evil that ruined Lena.
But hearing the brat's words sparked an amusing idea.
I whispered into the brat's ear so the women around couldn't hear.
"I used the key you gave me to enter her room, and unluckily, the Lady was awake. The moment she saw me, she tried to kill me. But..."
"B-But... how..."
"...When I said I'd mess with you, she spread her legs and submitted right away?"
"..."
"And now she's sworn to follow me forever."
I pulled away from the brat's ear with a smile.
The brat trembled, then started bawling as realization dawned.
Suddenly, he screamed and lunged at me.
"I-I'll kill you!! The Lady!!"
"What are you doing! Get off Master!"
"Ooh, nice surprise. Thanks, Patricia~"
"I'll kill you! Hnnng... I'll kill you"
With the women around restraining him, the brat toppled backward.
And right there, he sobbed endlessly, muttering,
"Hic... Lady... Hnnng..."
"Oh... So devoted? How should we... free the Lady?"
Nod, nod.
The brat nodded pleadingly toward me, even while crying.
"Hmm... But a pact's a pact, not easy to break... Do me a favor, and I'll shorten it to 1-2 years."
"R-Really!?"
"Of course~"
Obviously a lie, but it didn't matter to me.
I explained in detail what the brat had to do.
Hearing me out, the brat cried out in disbelief, sniffling.
"D-Don't mess with me. I'm a prince of Betel! Me, doing that...?"
"Then you'll never see the Lady again. Bye."
"Hic..."
"Do it well, and later I'll bring the Lady and make her yours."
"Th-The Lady isn't an object!"
The brat shouted that, but he seemed conflicted.
But the conflict didn't last long.
"I-If... I just do that, you'll... give me the Lady...?"
"Yeah, I'll make her yours."
"Th-That's not it! ...You'll really send her back?"
"Sure~"
"...O-Okay."
"Oh..."
I'd been doubtful seeing the brat's behavior, but he'd agreed himself.
That settled it.
I ordered the women on the bed to line up naked in a row.
They were embarrassed with the brat there but obeyed me.
"Alright, now you put them on one by one."
"Urk... M-Me, doing this..."
This showed what Lena meant to the brat.
He probably couldn't imagine life without her.
Trash like you... Lena fell apart because of your life.
The brat fitted the chastity belts without taking his eyes off the women's crotches.
'...'.
What I'd tasked Berius with wasn't just fitting the chastity belts once.
All the chastity belts' fingerprints were registered to Berius.
Last night, I'd put them to sleep and registered his fingerprints on every one.
To the brat...
"If I hear you didn't do what I told you properly, the Lady's a slave for life."
"G-Got it! Urk... Just keep your promise..."
Whenever the wearers needed to handle bodily functions, he'd remove the chastity belts, hold them, and stand by.
