Chapter Title: Are You a Transmigrator?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Chirp, chirp.
A certain human was enjoying a blissful slumber when a damn bird decided to ruin it with its chirping.
Still tired, I rustled around and turned onto my side, only for something soft and squishy to press against my face.
‘…?’
I didn't know what it was, but I naturally gave it a squeeze.
The truth is, no man can resist touching something soft and squishy.
That's just how men are wired—you have to touch it, even when you know it's a breast.
"Hnngh..."
At the sound of that suggestive moan, my eyes didn't exactly fly open... but something else certainly shot right up.
At the same time, the events of the early morning came flooding back to me.
The scent of sex hanging in the air.
Luna, her arms wrapped around my head.
Her tail was coiled around my waist.
Of all the things that had happened so far, this made me feel the best about being transmigrated.
Now that I've had Luna, I should probably bang the new high-class slave, Yui, later.
"Ugh."
I got up, feeling vigorous.
Looking down at my undying junior, I had a thought.
Maybe my junior is the one with the nanomachines implanted in it.
Enough with the nonsense. I woke Luna up.
"Luna, wake up."
"Haaam... Yes..."
Luna sat up, yawning and rubbing her eyes.
I wasn't so tired that I couldn't get up, but it seemed even the diligent Luna, who always woke up and got ready before me, was exhausted from our first night together.
I stared intently at Luna as she gathered her clothes.
To be precise, I made binoculars with my hands and observed her with wide eyes.
"...What are you looking at?"
"Your breasts."
"..."
My shameless honesty must have left her speechless.
Still, isn't it better to be honest about looking than to lie and say I wasn't?
She covered her chest more tightly and scurried off to the shower.
Little did she know, covering them so tightly just made them bulge out between her arms, which was even sexier.
I figured I should get ready to wash up too and was about to pick up my clothes when...
Something huge and wriggling on the floor touched my foot.
"Whoa! Shit, you scared me!"
"Guek!"
Startled, I kicked it without thinking.
It made a sound, so I took a closer look and saw it was that pig bastard from yesterday.
I'd said I'd let him go, but we were having too much fun and just left him there.
I should probably untie him now, but he looked so disgusting I didn't want to touch him, so I decided to just leave him be.
"The staff will clean him up, I guess."
That's the standard procedure for places like this, anyway. Irresponsible pleasure, then a quick getaway.
***
After washing up and getting dressed, I left the room.
Just then, I made eye contact with Yui, who was coming out of the room across the hall.
She flinched, her shoulders jumping in surprise.
"Ah, g-good morning..."
"Yeah. You too."
For some reason, her face was bright red.
*Seriously? Am I supposed to think that?*
*Even if you have zero social awareness, that whole 'for some reason' act is just ridiculous.*
"Hey, Yui."
"Y-Yes!"
"Did you hear us?"
-Fwoosh.
Steam started pouring out of Yui's head like a freshly finished rice cooker.
Her face turning blood-red was a given, and she timidly nodded her head.
Well, it's not like the rooms in this inn are soundproof booths. Of course she heard everything.
But so what if she heard?
What's the big deal about sex?
It's a sacred act that creates life. If anything, we should be praised for it, right?
"What are you doing?"
"I was just saying she stayed up listening to us go at it."
"...What?"
"N-No, I didn't!"
Luna, who had followed me out, was flustered by my answer.
She's usually so sharp, but she can be a real airhead at times like these.
*You really think she couldn't hear us?*
*You were completely out of it, so you probably don't know, but your moans were incredible~*
"Anyway, let's go wrap this up."
We need to go to the count, tell him the request is finished, and get our reward.
My mouth is watering just thinking about my reward, which has tripled in value.
I led Luna and Yui out of the inn and headed for the count's mansion.
On the way, we passed by the Adventurer's Guild.
"They're working hard this morning."
I'd slept in today, so it wasn't exactly morning anymore, but the fact that they were working hard remained unchanged.
"Sir Luke, that... It looks like there's some kind of problem."
"They're working so hard, they'll figure it out. Let's just mind our own business and go."
The Adventurer's Guild was bustling for some reason.
It was as if the peaceful scene from when I first arrived had all been a lie.
But it was none of my business, so I was just going to ignore it and walk past.
I'm not kidding, I was really going to walk past.
If a busy receptionist hadn't seen me and called out.
"Oh? Excuse me! You're the adventurer who took the missing person request, aren't you!"
"Crap! Run for it!"
I made a mad dash to escape.
And was promptly caught.
Fuck.
"What do you want? We're busy."
"An emergency request has been issued."
Last time I was thinking it'd be nice if an emergency request popped up, but does it have to be the moment I get here?!
Did a Deluxe Fighter invade or something?
I was planning to get my money, enjoy a beach event, and just have fun all day.
Why can't the world just leave me alone?
*'Wait, aren't I supposed to be an extra?'*
I confirmed the protagonist was alive and kicking last time, so what's with this sudden emergency request?
Sure, the protagonist is unreliable, but he's still the protagonist.
Why is the shit coming to find me instead of going to the outhouse?
Or so I thought. Right up until I stepped inside the Adventurer's Guild.
The receptionist said she'd explain the details, so I followed her into the guild.
"Y-You're...!"
It was obviously directed at us, so I turned my gaze toward the source of the voice.
And what do you know, a pretty boy with striking red hair was pointing a finger right at us.
Or, to be precise, not at Luna and me, but at Yui.
*'Aha. So this bastard is here, which is why events that aren't supposed to happen are happening!'*
He's not supposed to be here yet.
Setting aside why he's here now, first things first, I need to hit him.
-Thwack!
I brought my fist down on the protagonist's head.
"Guek!"
He looks like a scrawny anchovy but squeals like a pig.
"W-Wait a minute! What do you think you're doing!"
Only after hearing that voice did I notice there were others with him.
The one who stepped in front of Arthur and scolded me was Tia.
*'Of course. No way this bastard would be alone.'*
Tia Roseberry, Liche Winchester, and even the short, brown-haired commoner heroine I hadn't seen last time, Stella.
The semester barely started and he's already running around with a whole harem.
For a bastard who's been slacking off on his duties lately, he's sure got a way with the ladies.
"I hit him because I felt like it. Got a problem? If you do, try and hit me back."
What are you gonna do about it?
Honestly, Tia isn't my favorite character, nor is she one of my heroines.
If she messes with me, I don't care if she's the main heroine or whatever, I'll kill her.
As the second top student, Tia looked like she was about to do something.
That bitch Liche was staring holes through me, probably wondering how she could annoy me this time.
In that brief moment, Arthur shook his head a few times and came to his senses.
Then he pointed at Yui again and spoke to me.
"I don't know why you're with that bitch, but she's the queen of the vampires! We have to kill her!"
...How does he know Yui when they shouldn't have even met yet?
*Would I really think something so cliché? That's beyond brain-dead; it's so stupid you'd question if they were even human.*
There's one thing you should suspect in a situation like this, but it's stupid to beat around the bush with all sorts of excuses.
Like, for example, saying the name of an object that doesn't exist in this world to see their reaction and confirm if they're a transmigrator.
All these tired old lines are just a ploy by the author to drag out the plot.
"Hey. You're a transmigrator, aren't you."
"...!"
Of course.
"N-No, I'm not...!"
"The hell you're not, you dumbass."
-Thwack!
"Guek!"
It's written all over your face that you're a transmigrator. 'No, I'm not,' my ass.
"...Wait, are you one too?"
To his question, which implicitly asked if I was also a transmigrator, I simply gave him a wink.
Honestly, anyone from our world would know what that means.
I mean, there are regions where people can have entire conversations with just a single sound.
Instantly, Arthur's expression shifted to a smug, condescending sneer.
"Hah—! I'm the protagonist, you hear? And you're just a worthless extra. So know your place and hand that bitch over!"
"Yeah, sure, toilet."
"T-Toilet!? Are you talking about me!?"
The main characters take a shit, the extras take a shit, and you're the one who takes it all. If that's not a toilet, what is?
This isn't some metaphor like those 'human toilet' sluts you hear about; at this point, he's a literal toilet.
"They don't have toilets here, so maybe 'outhouse' is more fitting?"
"Y-You...!"
To think they let a guy who gets triggered after just a few words transmigrate into the protagonist.
The future of the empire is as dark as a powered-off cellphone.
Ignoring the seething Arthur, I took a moment to look around.
The heroines, Luna, and Yui were all looking lost, unable to follow our conversation.
Tia's affection level must have progressed quite a bit, because she wore the same indignant expression as Arthur.
Stella, with her timid personality, couldn't do anything but clasp her hands to her chest and fidget nervously.
And Liche... she wasn't like this in the original story. That bastard Arthur must have done something to her; her personality seems to have changed a lot.
Even now, she was watching me with a pleased smile. Her boyfriend was getting his ass kicked by me, and she was smiling. She's definitely a crazy bitch.
At least their side was in better shape.
Luna looked like she didn't have a thought in her head.
And Yui, being the center of this whole conversation, just darted her eyes around, not knowing what to do.
"Haaam... I'm tired. Let's just finish this job quickly and go have some fun."
Talking any more seemed like it would just be exhausting, so I decided to hurry up and finish this emergency request, or whatever it was, and get some rest.
"Who said you can just leave? You're not going anywhere until that bitch is dead."
Arthur drew his sword and pointed it at Yui.
"E-Eek...!"
Yui scurried behind me and gently grabbed the hem of my clothes.
Now that's how you take cover.
You have to do at least this much to stimulate a man's protective instincts and make him want to shield you.
"Why are you trying to scare my girl like that?!"
-Thwack!
"Gueeeek!!!"
A three-hit combo, as expected.
It's fucking powerful, I tell you.
I might have hit him a little too hard, but I can only hope he doesn't have a concussion.
