Chapter Title: Conquering the Knight Captain (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After that, we moved to a new lodging.
A place where all three of us could sleep together. Thanks to that, lately I'd been able to frequently enjoy the blissful routine of falling asleep and waking up sandwiched between the two women.
Of course, it was wonderful, but it wasn't without its drawbacks.
"...It feels like I'm spending more time staring at the two of them than at any tourist spots..."
Once those walls came crumbling down, we ended up tangled together with them at every opportunity.
At night, we'd chat about what we'd seen that day or where we wanted to go tomorrow.
Even in the middle of those fun conversations, the mood would suddenly turn quiet, and the two of them would gaze at me with those sultry eyes.
One look at that expression, and my own body would heat up. In the end, I'd always give in to their intentions, spending the night in passionate fervor.
And it wasn't just indoors. Even outside, if I so much as glanced at a red-light district spot or anything remotely naughty while walking down the street, the two of them would take charge and drag me straight back to the lodging.
Before long, aside from lunchtime and afternoons, my days were filled with nothing but lewd hours entwined with them.
As a man, I had zero complaints about that.
But it was undeniably strange that when I tried to recall memories from my first overseas trip, all that came to mind were their pristine white naked bodies and those large, swaying breasts.
"Maybe I should get moving a little."
It was early morning, but I resolved to step out for a bit.
I sat up in bed and threw on some light clothes.
Lounging endlessly between the two of them wasn't bad at all, but since I'd come all the way to Japan, I figured I should build up a few more actual memories. With that thought, I hauled myself out of bed.
"Come to think of it, I haven't checked out a convenience store."
I'd visited big marts and department stores stocked with all sorts of things, but I'd never set foot in the convenience store right nearby.
Even when we needed something, they'd always run out and grab it for me from there, so I never bothered going myself.
Looking back now, it was odd that we hadn't gone together, even though we weren't exactly pressed for time.
"...Ah."
Then it hit me. While I was in the middle of sex with one of them, the other had gone to the convenience store to buy condoms or drinks.
...Yeah, we were way too busy to go together.
Three minutes after leaving the hotel.
That short walk, and I was already at the convenience store.
Stepping inside, I was greeted by an interior that felt both familiar and strangely foreign.
The layout and overall look weren't all that different from back home, but the products on display and their contents were packed with unfamiliar items.
I took my time browsing until I stopped in front of one particular corner.
It was a section you rarely saw in Korean convenience stores.
The walls were lined with all sorts of fashion magazines and thick comic anthologies.
Among them, the text on one comic magazine's cover came into focus through my Translation skill.
"Newcomer Short Stories: Isekai Possession Special..."
It was a feature that sparked an odd sense of camaraderie.
I bought the book as if drawn to it by some invisible force.
It wasn't pricey, and since every story involved a protagonist possessing into another world, there were bits that seemed worth referencing.
Grabbing some snacks and drinks while I was at it, I headed back to the hotel, sat down, and slowly dove into the short stories inside.
True to its newcomer short story theme, the book contained around ten brief tales.
"Oh..."
I hadn't expected much from a rookie anthology, but mixed in were some gems so good it was a shame they were confined to shorts.
One in particular, titled Saving the Knight Captain, left a strong impression.
Even among the crowd, its artwork was overwhelmingly superior, and the bold decision to color most of the short made it impossible to ignore.
The story held up nicely too.
A weak farmer gets possessed, protected by a female knight captain, joins as a lowly knight, and eventually turns the tables to save her.
A bit clichéd, sure—but that's exactly why it's an enduring favorite.
I enjoyed it thoroughly, and for a moment, I thought a fantasy world like that might not be half bad.
"...While it's on my mind, maybe I should search for something like it?"
I set the book aside briefly and rummaged through the Quest Board for worlds resembling the short.
And to my shock, I found exactly what I was looking for.
['Enter the world of Saving the Knight Captain' and conquer the Knight Captain.]
I compared the quest title to the short story I'd just read.
Identical.
"Haha..."
A dry, incredulous laugh escaped me.
I could actually enter the short story I'd just enjoyed.
Having liked it enough, excitement bubbled up inside me.
I gazed at the knight captain as depicted in the short.
She was captivating.
Golden eyes and hair.
A righteous, commanding presence worthy of a knight captain.
And those rare glimpses of femininity she showed the protagonist.
I hadn't planned on diving into anything during my Japan trip, but this little short had completely swayed me.
Just in case, I gave the story another thorough read before accepting the quest.
"Wahahaha!"
"With moves like that, you couldn't even take down a goblin!"
The booming laughter and jeers jolted me fully awake.
Lifting my head, I took in my surroundings—lush green trees everywhere.
Obviously a forest.
And milling around me were people clad in black armor that clashed horribly with the woodland setting.
I could see everyone's weapons strapped to their waists or slung across their backs.
What the hell was going on? As I slowly scanned the area, a scene from the manga finally clicked into place.
"Black Knight Order..."
The monster-hunting knight order that the protagonist and the female knight captain belonged to.
They appeared to be taking a short break, seated in the woods.
At the center of it all was a young, awkward-looking knight.
Right in front of the seated knights, he practiced sword forms with clumsy swings.
It wasn't even remotely decent form.
The sloppy, unsteady movements made anyone watching uneasy.
"Seonghan, why don't you go help him out?"
That's when a female knight beside me spoke up.
Someone I didn't recall from the story.
"Seonghan? Me?"
"Who else? It's you, Seonghan."
She snickered as if it was the dumbest question, eyeing me like I was a joke.
I'd half-expected to possess someone new upon entering the short, but no.
I'd seamlessly become an original member of the knight order.
And not just any grunt—someone with a reputation for handling a sword decently.
"Help him, huh..."
I could teach swordplay, but it'd be wildly out of place in this world.
The techniques I'd learned through hard work—not skills—were straight out of wuxia tales.
So instead, I just observed the protagonist from a distance.
Let's see... the protagonist's name was—
"You lot, enough tormenting Ethan already?"
"Ah, Captain Dana."
The knights, Ethan included, all turned toward the voice.
I followed suit and spotted a woman approaching, towel-drying her wet hair.
Petite, but radiating an aura far more intense than her size suggested.
Perhaps it was her knight captain title combined with the trust of her subordinates, but her mere arrival snapped the rowdy group into line.
"Captain Dana, we're not tormenting him—we're teaching him swordsmanship."
"Swordsmanship?"
With that, the captain named Dana turned her eyes to Ethan.
She let out a soft chuckle, walked over, and patted his shoulder.
"Must be tough with a build like that."
The surrounding knights couldn't hold it in and erupted in laughter.
The female knight next to me stifled her own giggles.
Truth be told, Ethan's physique didn't scream "knight" yet—not even close.
That alone let me gauge roughly when I'd possessed this body.
Probably right after his rescue.
Not long after being saved from the monsters that raided his village.
Yeah, that timing.
Ethan, red-faced and biting his lip, kept swinging the sword as instructed.
That tenacity was the protagonist Ethan's real strength.
The courage to push forward, even if it made him a butt of jokes.
The other knights kept snickering at him, but Captain Dana watched his efforts patiently before scanning the group.
What was she looking for?
Her gaze locked onto me and held.
Then she beckoned with a flick of her hand.
"...?"
I pointed at myself questioningly.
She nodded firmly.
"Hey, what're you waiting for? Go."
The female knight beside me shoved my back in exasperation.
Feeling the clunky armor rattle awkwardly, I approached Dana.
"You're in charge of training him."
"Pardon?"
I wasn't the only one stunned—the other knights gawked, mouths hanging open, flicking their eyes between me and Ethan.
Dana's gaze was so resolute that I had no choice but to nod.
"...Yes, ma'am."
If I couldn't dodge it anyway, might as well answer properly and rack up some goodwill. I nodded and replied.
Satisfied, Dana patted my shoulder this time.
"Please take good care of me!"
Ethan hurried over and bowed with enthusiasm.
"...Sure."
Truth be told, he didn't even need my instruction. In about a year, he'd bulk up on his own, sharpen his skills dramatically, and become the future knight captain.
Of course, he'd never dream of it.
Returning the greeting from the very Ethan I'd just seen in the manga, I felt once more that I'd truly entered the quest world.
