"If you're a skilled trainer, then there's no problem at all. It's just a minor incident. If you understand my concern for my friend, you'll cooperate with the investigation, right?"
"...Yes."
The atmosphere made it impossible to say no.
It felt like being trapped in an inescapable prison. There were no bars or guards, but some force kept me from taking even a single step.
Was this woman actually aware of everything and just waiting for me to confess?
"Verdia, the trainer has given permission too. Can I check a few things?"
"Uh, sure."
Verdia seemed scared by her friend's unusual demeanor.
That look in her eyes.
For the first time, I thought Ariella was terrifying.
What kind of demand was she about to make?
A handstand 3P sex that only an expert trainer could pull off?
Of course, that was just my imagination.
"Show me your license."
"Pardon?"
Her request was so reasonable and ordinary that I stupidly gaped and asked her to repeat it.
Ariella extended her pretty hand.
"Trainer's license."
"... "
I was utterly flustered.
Was this a world where they issued trainer licenses?
Calm down and think. She might be testing my reaction.
Maybe there was no such thing, and she was trying to make me believe there was.
"What do you mean... I don't..."
I tried playing dumb.
Then, seeing their expressions change, I hurriedly added,
"What trainer carries that around everywhere?"
"Hmm."
Ariella withdrew her hand.
"True. I just asked in case."
Thank goodness.
I'd barely escaped by the skin of my teeth. Even if trainer licenses existed, no one would carry them like business cards...
Having luckily dodged the crisis, I smiled and said,
"No matter who reported me, Lady Verdia is extremely satisfied with my service.
The family head trusts me too."
"Receiving the protection of one of the Four Great Houses is the greatest honor for a trainer."
Who was the whistleblower?
It wasn't even worth thinking about. Ever since coming to this world, there was only one person who hated me enough to snitch to Ariella.
Piona Arente.
'Did she say I raped her?'
No, that couldn't be.
If she knew I was a rapist, she wouldn't have invited me here like this.
So, should I go on the offensive here, trusting Verdia's loose pussy?
"I'll prove I'm an excellent trainer.
How about I make Lady Verdia squirt to orgasm right here?"
"Wh-what... "
Verdia fidgeted uncomfortably.
"What's a squirting orgasm...? It sounds so vulgar just hearing it..."
I'd said it vulgarly on purpose.
To gloss things over appropriately.
Verdia had already opened up to Ariella enough to talk about me.
This much was fine to throw out there!
Ariella looked utterly unmoved, no matter what I said.
I couldn't detect any change in her expression.
I was starting to get a sense of what kind of person she was.
She could fake various reactions on the surface, but inside, she was ice-cold.
Cold and ruthless.
Not the type to let personal feelings ruin her business.
If I just sat there, she'd slowly corner me until I confessed and knelt on my own...!
I grabbed Verdia's hand.
"Tr-Trainer, not in front of Ariella..."
"I'll show you right now."
"Wait."
Ariella stopped me.
"Ariella...?"
"No need to show it."
Verdia's expression brightened with relief, even more than mine.
"Then..."
"Just one question before you go. That's fine, right, trainer?"
"Yes. Ask away."
"What's your brand?"
...Brand?
Burning Vendetta, Brand?
No, not that one.
"... "
"You're not going to say you don't have one, are you?"
No time.
Hesitating with my answer alone could arouse the worst suspicions.
I blurted it out without thinking, letting my cock do the talking.
"MILF Hun...ter..."
"...Pardon?"
"MILF Hunter."
A brief silence.
Ariella covered her mouth and started laughing.
"Pfft, ahaha!"
"... "
Shit.
I wanted to slam my torso through the window and fall to my death.
Verdia tilted her head and asked,
"What's a MILF?"
"Hold on. Ahahat."
"Ariella, don't laugh alone—tell me too!"
Screw it all!!
"Yes, I'm a MILF Hunter!"
It was embarrassing, but seeing Ariella clutching her stomach in laughter made me feel good too.
Yeah, so what if it was embarrassing?
I could etch those jiggling milk tanks deeper into my eyes.
"That was a truly unexpected answer."
"... "
Maybe I should've said Micro Hunter...
Micros or MILFs, I loved them both,
but without time to pretty it up, the raw truth had spilled out.
"I thought there was a slight possibility..."
- Ariella muttered to herself.
What was that just now?
Ariella met my eyes and suddenly bit her lip.
"You're not the one after all."
"Pardon?"
"I'll get going first."
"Ariella, let's at least have a meal together."
Verdia tried to hold her back, but Ariella rose crisply, as if she'd lost all interest.
"I ate already yesterday, so next time."
My gaze naturally chased Ariella's jiggling milk tanks.
Had I passed her test?
After she left, my eyes naturally turned to Verdia.
"Want to eat with me?"
"Pardon?"
Verdia looked troubled, as if the suggestion was unexpected.
"Ah, eating alone together is a bit..."
"... "
What? Was she turning me down because of her husband?
I hadn't expected such a sharp rejection and stood there stunned for a moment.
"Sorry."
"No... "
"See you later."
Verdia left.
'What the hell.'
Left alone, I felt a strange unease.
Like something bad was happening somewhere I didn't know about.
When Verdia, whom I'd just fucked, suddenly seemed cold and distant, I panicked more than expected.
Did she mean she'd only permitted her body?
How outrageous.
With my mood soured, I returned to my room and plotted Verdia's pussy corruption plan.
'Trainer? Who gives a damn.'
I might be a slave here, but back in the modern world, I was a big shot.
The kind who turned down women begging for a one-night stand.
Geum Taeyang's addictive drug cock—once tasted, impossible to escape!
One day, deeply pondering why I had such talent, I realized:
MILF hunting was my destiny.
Not even haughty noblewomen of this otherworld were exceptions.
If my trainer skills were lacking, I'd overwhelm her with mindless breeding presses until she couldn't live without my cock.
Easy peasy, that kind of thing.
Starting tomorrow, full throttle on conquering Verdia's pussy!
Back in my room, I ate a warm dinner and fell asleep.
And then...
"One, two!"
I suddenly took a massive hit.
"Guh!"
My back felt like it would shatter.
When I sat up, I found myself thrown outside like trash.
The soldiers looked down at me pitifully.
"What the... Why are you doing this?"
They were guards I'd gotten friendly with while talking about Verdia.
"Sorry, but it's the family head's orders. No choice."
"You're exiled as of today."
"What?!"
I jumped to my feet.
Batino wouldn't do that. We shared secret tastes, right?
"Let me talk to the family head!"
The guards blocked me with their bodies.
"Give it up! He won't see you."
"Verdia!"
"You bastard!"
"Gah!"
I rolled on the ground, clutching my gut.
How...?
"You're just a slave now. Got it? Listen when we're treating you like a person."
What had happened?
When did I step on a landmine?
The only suspect was Ariella.
But she'd smiled so prettily...
'Shit.'
What was I thinking?
She hadn't smiled out of fondness. Ariella had mocked me from start to finish.
Full of venom, I stood.
"Let me talk to Ariella."
"Back off! Come closer and I'll skewer you!"
Despite their words, I stomped the spear tip hovering near the ground.
"Whoa?!"
I followed with a punch to the guard's chest.
"Grah!"
The guard rolled screaming, and punching his iron armor barehanded hurt me half to death too.
I clenched my bleeding fist and advanced.
"Don't block me. Or die."
"Wh-what was that?"
"Otherworld martial arts!"
"Martial what?"
"Stay smart or get hit with a 960-degree spinning kick."
Of course, I couldn't do that crap.
The commotion at the castle gate drew guards from everywhere like clouds.
"Damn."
This was bad.
No choice.
I yanked the spear from the ground and steadied my breath.
Starting my otherworld MILF hunt with a 1 vs. 17 legend wasn't bad.
Was I salt or something, to just get crushed like this?
Only now did I realize how furious I was.
Then, I spotted Ariella passing by with guards.
No mistaking that silhouette.
The woman with the world's best milk tanks walked right in front of me.
"Ariella!"
"...?"
"Stop that guy!"
I swung the spear shaft to block the guards and dashed toward Ariella.
"Lady Ariella, behind me!"
"No, behind me! I'll protect you!"
Those guys pretending to protect my Ariella?
Ariella, looking at me, let out a deep sigh.
"Move."
"B-but."
"Just talking. Move."
"...Understood."
The guards couldn't defy Ariella's command and stepped back.
They were from another house—could she boss them like that?
'Ariella must be special.'
I had no intention of spilling blood, just wanted to talk, so I dropped the spear without regret and approached.
"What's going on? Why am I being kicked out?"
"... "
Damn.
It was sad that this was all I could say.
Ariella stared blankly at the wall before finally looking up at me.
"Done talking?"
"Answer me."
"Call me Lady Ariella."
"Why should I..."
"... "
"...Lady Ariella."
"Don't take it out on me. You know I have no interest in the likes of you, no ill will either."
I knew it bone-deep, and it pissed me off.
"Got it? This is about qualifications and proof.
You have neither, can't prove them. So pack up and leave."
"... "
Her words stabbed sharply.
Compared to what I'd done, it was a cheap price—I had to admit.
"No need to throw me out like this."
"Decided last night after talking with Lord Batino. No take-backs."
How could she?
Flip like a pancake?
"Think something happened?"
Finally, Ariella's true feelings slipped out.
"A mere otherworlder who got lucky."
Defiance surged in me.
No comeback for Ariella, but Verdia!
She might not take me back, but at least mediate?
Better to clash than accept being discarded like trash.
I sighed deeply and spoke.
"Where's Verdia?"
"In the garden. Go see."
Ariella really seemed disinterested in me.
Indifferent, like she was saying, "Flail if you want."
"Lady Ariella!"
The guards protested in unison.
They hadn't forgotten who they served, it seemed.
"That scum might harm Lady Verdia."
"Who knows what he'll say!"
"Did I say anyone could butt in?"
Ariella dismissed their objections instantly.
"You think Verdia can't treat this man harshly out of sentiment."
"... "
"You hardly know your lady."
I pushed past the dumbfounded guards and ran to the garden.
"Verdia!"
Familiar maids pointed and whispered at me.
The place that felt like home now seemed like a zoo cage, and I the trapped beast.
Verdia would fix this!
"Verdia!"
Verdia, admiring flowers, saw me and looked troubled.
"Verdia, sorry for deceiving you!"
I bowed my head first.
"Please leave without a word."
"Shameless request, but let me work here. I'll stay quiet."
"Sorry."
Her cold refusal made me swallow hard.
"Verdia, you need me too!"
Unable to contain my surging emotions, I placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Kyaa! Piona!!"
Piona's sword sliced me from the shoulder diagonally.
"Guh!"
Blood gushed.
She swung to kill!
"Eek!"
Verdia squeezed her eyes shut at the spraying blood, unprepared for this.
Piona, as if she'd waited for this moment, shook blood from her blade and glared darkly.
"Don't make a scene. Get lost."
"...Kuh! Don't interfere!"
"Interfere?"
"Verdia hasn't said anything yet."
Piona glanced at Verdia, who avoided her gaze before steeling herself and meeting my eyes directly.
"Mr. Taeyang deceived me and the family head. That's the undeniable truth."
"... "
"As a woman of the Chartreuse Family, I find what happened between us utterly shameful."
"Verdia... "
Despair hit me.
Did I have to accept it was all over?
Verdia continued in a trembling voice.
"It's Lady Verdia. Mr. Geum Taeyang. Don't call me casually."
My MILF sex life faded away.
In hollow amusement, I burst out laughing.
"You're more straightforward than I thought."
"If you say more..."
Piona advanced with her bloody sword.
"Give me a sec. I'm about to pass out from pain.
You don't want to clean up my corpse, right?"
"Seeing your corpse is what I've wished for!"
I dodged the slash but soon lost strength, kneeling and collapsing.
"Hmph."
Piona, satisfied with my pathetic state on the brink of death, sheathed her sword.
"Remove this scum from Lady Verdia's sight!"
"Yes!"
Thrown out of Chartreuse Castle again.
All my bravado got me was an extra wound from my starting state.
A utterly pathetic outcome.
- The ground is cold.
I know...
