Chapter Title: Catfight (With Common Sense Alteration) (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After agonizing all night, I finally reached a conclusion.
I’m an idiot.
‘There’s no way Blanc would ever sleep with a guy like me…!!’
Just touch her breasts and make her cum? And she’ll strip on her own and spread her pussy for me?
Any guy dumb enough to think that must have udon noodles for brains instead of a real one.
Yeah, that’s me, Yi Hyun.
‘I got so blinded by sex that I did something I can’t take back…’
Okay, fine, I didn’t get laid. Whatever.
It sucks, sure, but I’ve spent the last 25 years regretting it—what’s a little more?
The real problem is that things with Blanc have gotten awkward.
Yesterday’s “guest departure order” was proof of that.
I couldn’t stop sighing.
“I’m just a doormat uncle… a puffy rice cake in watery rice porridge…”
A sob escaped my lips.
Guess getting stronger is off the table now.
Blanc’s got her eye on me in a bad way, no sex with her.
So no getting stronger, no sex with Hilde either.
Just a one-way slide straight into hell waiting for me.
I was so depressed I felt tears welling up…
“U-um, newbie? You okay?”
“…Vice Captain Hilde?”
Right then, Hilde flung open the door to my quarters.
Her eyes turned toward me.
More precisely, toward the pillow soaked with my tears.
“Hey, no way… you were crying?”
“……”
“Tsk, sigh. Look, it’s—”
And for some reason, she started fumbling for words.
Her pupils shaking like there was an earthquake.
I wondered what was up with her all of a sudden.
Thud.
“I get it, okay? You lost your memories, and no matter how much you train, you’re stuck in place. It’s only natural to feel anxious and cry about it.”
“Ahh.”
‘She thinks I’m worried about that?’
She figured I was crying because I couldn’t get stronger.
It was the right answer, but not the right one.
My expression grew even gloomier.
‘Can’t exactly say I ruined everything by making Blanc squirt, so let’s just roll with it…’
“What should I do now?”
I lowered my damp voice, speaking gravely.
I was genuinely pondering it.
Hilde’s wolf ears perked up.
“What do you mean, ‘now’?”
“I don’t know a thing about the world, so if I get kicked out of the knight order, what am I supposed to do to survive?”
“Eek!? Why would you get kicked out? You’ve got that amazing blessing!”
“But, sigh…”
In the end, the head of the 2nd Knight Order is Blanc.
And I’m just level 1 trash spec that won’t go up no matter how hard I grind.
Would she keep a guy like me around?
A commoner guy who saw her fountain right in front of him—a noblewoman like her?
‘No way in hell.’
The thought made me even more depressed.
I wanted to go home.
“Sigh…”
“H-hey, that’s just needless worrying. The captain rates your potential highly, and there are ways to force you to get stronger anyway.”
“Force it?”
“Yeah! There’s this thing called elixirs!”
Was she trying to cheer up my moping self?
Hilde sat down next to me, her tail swishing.
Fur floated in the air.
“The downside is they’re ridiculously expensive, but factoring in your blessing, it’s totally…”
As she explained.
Feed me these things called elixirs.
Even Blanc would struggle to afford them, but given my potential, it’s a worthwhile investment.
“What do you think? We didn’t tell you earlier in case you’d slack off on training.”
“No, there’s no way Captain Blanc would do that…”
I was convinced Blanc had it out for me now.
I’d even gotten the boot yesterday.
My mood sank even lower.
My head drooped down.
“Come on, chin up? You’re way more impressive than you think.”
“No, I’ll lose to the 1st Knight Order in the friendly match, keep being a burden till the end, and get kicked out.”
“Argh, you’re not listening. With your blessing, any order would be begging to take you in.”
“But Captain Blanc will hate me too.”
“No way. Come on, quit moping and let’s go train!”
“It’s pointless. I’m destined to get booted and die…”
“What is wrong with you?!”
But that lasted only a moment.
Hilde smacked my back—hard.
Her hand stung like hell.
“Guuh!?”
“You gonna keep whining when you might become a hero someday? We’ve got huge expectations for you! Me, the captain—everyone!”
“But…”
“So, uh, let me cheer you up! No more crying from now on!”
“…Huh?”
“Here, if you wanna perk up, this oughta do it.”
Then she did.
Pointed at her own chest.
“Wanna touch my tits?”
“Gah.”
That instant, my mind went blank white.
No trace of depression left in my head.
‘Hilde’s tits…?’
They’re even bigger than Blanc’s.
Touching Blanc’s made me so happy—what would these feel like?
I nearly nodded without thinking.
—Hold up.
‘Wait, tits are great, but what about something else…?’
That’s how it was.
Until a certain thought crossed my mind.
‘Nothing to lose, might as well ask.’
“Then, Vice Captain Hilde, I’ve got a favor to ask!”
“Ooh! Anything but sex, just say it!”
A little later.
“Ooh, so that’s what it looks like!!”
“……”
In front of Yi Hyun’s admiration.
Hilde lay there awkwardly on her stomach.
Her ass cheeks were spread wide open by Yi Hyun’s hands.
‘Our newbie’s dirtier than I thought?’
She’d said she’d grant any wish.
Letting him touch her tits was legit too.
For a beastkin like her, it was no big deal.
But even for the great Hilde.
Having her pussy and asshole on full display was kinda embarrassing.
That unease showed on her face.
“You know you can’t ask other girls for this, right?”
“Yes!”
“I’m only showing you ‘cause you were so down, newbie. Don’t get the wrong idea.”
“My depression’s totally gone thanks to you!”
“Good… that enough yet?”
“Just a bit more! Really, just a little longer!”
“That’s the third time you’ve said that, newbie.”
Still, she didn’t move.
Yi Hyun, the guy destined to be a big shot.
Cheering him up was crucial.
That was Vice Captain Hilde’s judgment.
‘Well, he lost his memories anyway. Basically an idiot, so it’s not that embarrassing…’
‘Damn, look at those plump pussy lips. Wonder if touching’s crossing the line?’
Thanks to that, Yi Hyun was thrilled.
Forgot all about his gloom from before, grinning ear to ear like anyone could see he was happy.
Hilde smirked too.
“That good, huh?”
“Yes! Prettiest thing in the world!”
“Weirdest compliment I’ve ever gotten.”
“So, um, can I stick a finger in…?”
“Want a spanking, newbie?”
“Nothing! It’s nothing!”
She lost her smile for a sec at his obvious ploy, but anyway.
‘This wraps up morale management for the newbie. Training the rookies in the arena was a nightmare, but this dummy’s easy to handle.’
“Newbie, you know the friendly match is coming up soon, right?”
With time to spare, they started chatting.
Yi Hyun nodded slightly.
Of course, he didn’t stop gently stroking those plump pussy lips with his thumb.
‘If I use Caress skill right, maybe I can get her going…?’
“The friendly match is in a month, right?”
“Yeah, time to explain more.”
Hilde, letting that slide, explained.
The friendly match.
A once-a-year showdown between the Empire’s knight orders to test each other’s skills.
Might sound minor, but it was actually a huge deal.
“The Imperial Princess herself comes to watch.”
The Imperial Princess herself observes.
Meaning the losers get humiliated in front of royalty.
“Even a tame WWE turns into UFC, huh.”
“…What’s that? Who taught you weird crap again?”
“It’s a thing. Anyway, so?”
“It’s your chance too.”
On the flip side, winners get to show off their valor before royalty.
Even a commoner amnesiac like Yi Hyun could become a knight in no time.
A chance Yi Hyun couldn’t miss.
‘We benefit most, though.’
Of course, the 2nd Knight Order, Hilde included, had nothing to lose.
How many sneers had they endured from the 1st Knight Order?
2nd Knight Order? Oh, the bargain-bin has-been squad? Puhaha.
They’d even heard that crap to their faces.
Who wouldn’t be pissed?
Everyone was grinding their teeth for the friendly match.
If Yi Hyun smashed their smug faces here,
‘His dick won’t survive.’
There’d be a virginity-loss party in the knight order.
In the victory-high atmosphere, the sole guy surrounded by busty women—what he’d go through was obvious.
That’s why Hilde had brought up sex—figuring if they won, she could give him a go.
“Anyway, my pussy… you’re staring right at it. Wanna fuck me?”
“Yes! I wanna whip it out and go to town right now!”
“Purely vulgar phrasing. Anyway, win the match, and I’ll let you. Feeling better?”
“Yes! Victory, only victory!!! A victory more radical and total than anything imaginable!!!”
“……”
‘Whoever taught the newbie that crap, I’ll smash their skull with a hammer if I catch ‘em.’
Yi Hyun got a bit too hyped, adding some berserk flavor.
And the war maniac glint in his eye afterward made Hilde decide to tighten discipline…
But right then, Yi Hyun’s eyes lit up.
“Then, Vice Captain Hilde, could you maybe have sex with me beforehand?”
“…What?”
Hilde whipped her head around—
Her eyes narrowing.
Is this guy nuts?
“Please! Hard to explain, but I really think it’s key to getting stronger!”
“You a beastkin too? Why’re you howling like an animal?”
“I’m serious! We can even bet on it!”
Yi Hyun was desperate in his own way.
If he could just do it once, he could grab onto Hilde instead of Blanc… or so he thought.
“Hoo?”
‘A bet? So, wanna compete, huh?’
——He didn’t notice.
The moment she heard “bet”.
Hilde’s expression changed completely.
“Feeling confident?”
“…Vice Captain Hilde?”
“Sex with me to see if you get stronger or not—betting on that? Hmph, someone dares challenge this Hilde.”
“Uh, um?”
“What’re you wagering?”
Her wolf ears perked up.
Her tail started wagging side to side.
A blatantly weird, totally illogical reaction…
—Hold up.
‘…Sex? Did Hilde just say sex?’
Of all times, that’s when Blanc appeared.
The woman who’d admitted her love for Yi Hyun since yesterday.
Who’d pulled out all the stops to recover his memories and returned with results.
The shine vanished from Blanc’s eyes.
Creeeak.
“———Newbie? Hilde?”
“Heek!?”
“C-Captain?”
“What exactly are you doing?”
Yi Hyun spreading Hilde’s pussy and anus wide open.
Blanc’s reaction to seeing that was,
“Hilde, are you toying with him?”
‘Didn’t think she was like that, what a nasty bitch.’
Accusing Hilde, who looked like the victim on the surface.
“……Huh?”
‘Why blame innocent Hilde?’
Still gripping Hilde’s ass tight.
Yi Hyun’s thoughts froze.
