Chapter 80: A Colony?
Aside from the fact that they were periodically sourcing men from the colonies, I didn't get to hear any more details.
It wasn't because it was some secret of the world or inaccessible information; the problem was that we had already arrived at the lodging.
It wasn't an urgent matter anyway, and since my mom’s friends were all perverts itching to kidnap and "train" me, there was no time to chat further with Hindel.
Alicia, Morian, and Yuseoha were all looking at me with sparkling eyes. If I had to list their common traits: they were my mom’s friends, they were after my chastity, and they were all severe perverts.
I wasn't exactly sure how the situation had turned out this way, but I knew exactly what to do in times like these.
"No. Stop. Don't."
I think I handled that well. Like a magic spell, the perverts all took a step back. Morian and Alicia exchanged glances, while Yuseoha crouched down to meet my eyes.
"Brat, which one of us are you going to bathe with? It’s me, right?"
Alicia was boldly claiming her rights to me.
"What are you talking about? He’s bathing with me. We didn't get to bathe together this morning because we were too busy talking," the Snow Woman Sister grumbled, spewing utter nonsense because she couldn't stand the heat for even a second.
"....!"
Yuseoha was still sticking to her silent concept, simply pointing at herself as if asking me to choose her.
I honestly had no idea what to do about my own popularity. If this weren't a Gender-Reversed World, I would have lined them up and treated them to some sequential pregnancy mating play, but alas, it was a pity.
However, there was one thing these people didn't know.
"I promised to sleep with Camel Sister tonight, so I'm bathing with her."
A fun playtime with the King Milk Cow Sister—whom I had ordered to keep her milk tanks nice and warm since noon—was waiting for me.
"...Aren't I better than Camel? My body is cold, so I feel great in the summer!"
"I'm turning the AC on, so I'll be fine! Next!"
Morian looked like she wanted to say more, but Alicia quickly pushed her aside.
"This lodging is owned by me, your big sister. Aren't you grateful?"
"I wanted to stay in a floating high-rise hotel. Next."
I shut down the wicked, perverted masochist vampire who had brought me to a Japanese ryokan—a place practically designed for illicit affairs. Yuseoha scurried over and leaned her head toward my ear.
"Using your voice is cheating!"
"That’s playing dirty!"
Morian and Alicia grabbed Yuseoha’s arms and started dragging her away. They were surprisingly kind friends for playing along with her silent concept.
"Seoha Sister, let's play next time! I want to see the inside of the ocean! Let's go on a date, just the two of us, then!"
Yuseoha’s pink eyes widened. Seeing her nod vigorously with joy, it seemed she was dealt with as well.
Everyone seemed to want to outbid each other for me, but a promise was a promise. If I broke it, it would be a major blow to my credibility.
"And since I promised to sleep with Camel Sister, it doesn't matter what you say. Promises must be kept! If you break a promise, you go to jail!"
If I lost their trust, it could cause problems for my 'secret friend' relationships with these perverted sisters.
At the mention of a promise, I saw them all take a step back.
They were all keeping their own secrets through promises with me. If they suggested that breaking a promise was okay, it might lead to everyone finding out about their own vulgar and depraved sexual fetishes!
Anyway, I escaped the perverted sisters who wanted to bathe with me and looked for Hindel, but she seemed to be in a serious conversation with Mom and Iris, so I had to postpone our talk.
"Everyone, stop fighting and eat! Food! If Yong-hwan goes hungry, he gets ferocious!"
Mom poked her head out from inside and shouted urgently.
Honestly, skipping a meal or two isn't a big deal. I’d only occasionally gone to the fitness center or a restaurant run by some neighborhood ladies who liked me too much whenever a meal was slightly late. This kind of slander was uncalled for.
Besides, it wasn't that I got ferocious because I was hungry. It was just that sometimes, when I was starving, someone would say they were making something delicious but then take two hours to serve it. Or I’d get into a fight with Grasha because I couldn't put up with her ruthless and selfish behavior on an empty stomach. It was all very unfair.
"He gets ferocious...?" Alicia muttered while looking at me. I wondered what kind of existence I was to that perverted masochist vampire sister.
"...How many hours does he have to starve to get ferocious? To what extent?" Alicia ran over to Mom and asked.
"Just... he spanks butts harder than usual, things like that?"
"He even spanks Ame’s butt?"
Morian’s eyes trembled as she looked at me.
To me, as a growing spanking machine, hitting a butt meant they had seduced me with their lewd bodies, but it didn't seem like this logical explanation would work on these people.
"Should I spank Morian Sister too?"
"N-No... I'm fine."
Seeing the exhibitionist sister back away while covering her rear, I made a firm resolution to definitely spank her later.
When Camel suddenly appeared beside me, I gave her butt a slap first.
Slap!
"Ahhn?! S-Still, you know, just hitting anyone’s butt seems like a bit of a problem. I mean... shouldn't he be educated on this?"
Camel, a total garbage-tier female who enjoyed lactation masturbation while getting her butt hit, started spewing bullshit about my upbringing.
"Well, it's just a joke. I'll talk to him about it when he's a bit older."
Mom quickly snatched me up and sat me on Hindel’s lap. Then, Grasha took Mom’s spot.
"Mom, Mom, that, that!"
"It’s not 'that,' it's tempura. Oh, what kind of fish is this?"
"Sea bream. It’s rare even over there."
I heard a familiar name. Since Hindel was trying to feed me, I snatched the chopsticks away, stuffed something that looked like a pickled radish into the dragon's mouth, and popped a piece of fried sea bream into my own.
Even if I couldn't remember the exact taste of sea bream, I knew it was a fish far too precious to be used for mere tempura. No, beyond sea bream stew, they were making sea bream tempura? What kind of lawless situation was this?
"Did you bring all the ingredients from the colony?"
"It helps set the mood, doesn't it? It was a bit expensive, but... well, it's fine."
Mom, who kept feeding the precious sea bream tempura to the youngest, absentmindedly ate a salad mixed with rice topped with some mushy black seaweed.
"What is this dish? It’s delicious."
"They call it Kimbap. I'm glad you like it."
I felt like something inside me was about to snap. The bullshit claim that eating fried sea bream and rice topped with seaweed and vegetables was "Kimbap" made my whole body tremble.
"This is not Kimbap. I know, for I ate it when I went to the East Asia Governorate last time."
The dragon was finally acting like a human being for once.
"Kimbap is rice rolled up in seaweed. This looks like a crude imitation."
"...What? I went through a lot of trouble to get the recipe, I guess I got the wrong one."
Alicia lightly clapped her hands twice. The sliding paper door opened, and a sister dressed in a hanbok bowed gracefully.
"It seems the recipe for Kimbap was wrong. Check it again."
"Understood."
With the Hanbok Sister’s reply, the door closed.
"Sorry, everyone. I acted all high and mighty when I fed this to those actors I brought along, but I guess it was a strange dish. I'll make sure to review it properly next time you visit, so let's just eat for now."
Alicia skillfully admitted her mistake and smoothed over the atmosphere. I had a foreboding yet exciting feeling that the "colony" might be the same world I knew.
I raised my hand.
"Son, do you need something?"
"Hindel said she went to the East Asia Governorate. What kind of place is that?"
Hindel glanced at Mom. Mom, without a word, dipped a piece of sea bream tempura into something like tonkatsu sauce and continued.
"I'll tell you when you're older. Right, Hindel?"
"...It might be a bit early, indeed."
The dragon brat backed off at a time like this. Seeing Mom set such a firm tone, I realized I wouldn't get an answer here no matter how curious I was.
Well, it was information I could easily get by poking around the back holes of the sisters who wanted to play with me, so there was no need to get anxious right now.
"I want to go to the colony too! Hindel!"
"Men cannot go to Earth. You might be able to go to the Demon Realm. Alicia, what’s the current situation there?"
"Things are unstable over there lately, so immigration procedures have gotten strict... It'll probably be difficult for a while."
Even the names were perfectly identical.
I felt a slight chill of fear at this world that held colonies in both the Demon Realm and Earth.
