Chapter Title: Roughly the Sexiest Isekai - Episode 104
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"That carriage..."
Diana muttered as she looked at Karen.
"Hello, Diana. I'm Karen."
"......"
Karen held out her hand readily.
Diana just wore an awkward expression and said nothing.
If I'd been the one offering a handshake, she would've snapped back right away.
"Please take care of me."
Even the great Diana couldn't bring herself to spit on Karen's smiling face.
She quietly clasped hands.
Karen looked even prettier up close—no, even sexier.
Any male candidate who'd laid eyes on her even once probably went through every scrap of tissue that night.
Karen's body was the kind that warranted censorship just standing there.
"Dekal. Nice to see you."
From beside Karen emerged a golden-haired, red-eyed beauty who didn't pale in comparison.
My partner from the entrance exam. Stia Harpeda.
She didn't have Karen's protruding sensuality, but her slender frame and curvaceous hips were alluring.
Of course, the best part was her face—pretty in that noble lady way, radiating a different charm from Diana.
Both she and Diana had been raised in luxury, but Stia carried a dignity that put others at ease.
"Miss Plenoir, hello."
Stia shook my hand, then greeted Plenoir.
"Hello."
"Yes, nice to meet you. You two applied from Rabbit Rank, correct?"
"Yes."
Karen answered in a bright voice.
"I want to climb up more than anyone, so I applied."
Stia carefully stated her ambitions.
In front of the statue stood Stia, Karen, and about ten other male and female candidates I didn't recognize, mixed together.
With only around ten people.
Mixed gender lines weren't common at Melbritt, so I knew they were the promising recruits called for—or rather, who volunteered for—this emergency directive.
I'd wondered what it'd be like on the way over, but seeing Karen and Stia lifted my spirits.
Karen, Diana, Stia.
Wasn't this lineup too luxurious? My balls wouldn't stand a chance.
Just imagining it made me happy, and now it was real.
"Excellent drive. But don't forget not to push yourselves too hard."
"Yes. I'll keep that in mind."
"You're meddling again, aren't you?
Now that I've shown them in, I'll head back.
The student council president will explain the rest. Everyone, please stay safe during this emergency directive."
Plenoir withdrew, worrying about our safety to the end.
The more I saw, the less she fit in at Melbritt.
"Hmph."
Diana glanced at Stia, then suddenly walked off.
"Diana. Where are you going?"
"If we've come this far, no need to stick together and ruin the mood."
"Um..."
Stia looked troubled.
"Something happen between you two?"
"The Harpeda family is a fallen house. Proper nobles keep their distance from me."
"Is she just being petty?"
Stia shook her head.
"No, that's just my guess.
We met often at social events when we were kids. Maybe I did something she hated."
She keeps distance because it's a fallen house.
Nothing else came to mind.
I couldn't read Diana's true feelings either. I'd only ever seen that side of her since we met.
Of course, I'd seen plenty of her lovable sides that others hadn't.
"But you two were together already?
Are you close? You were hanging out at the cafeteria too."
"We bonded over stories about you and became friends on day one."
"Karen, that kind of talk..."
Stia glanced at me shyly.
Chills. No matter how prone guys are to delusions... this reaction screamed her feelings for me had swelled without her realizing.
No hypnosis? What's her deal?
"My skills have improved tons!"
Tit-slapping skills?
I barely swallowed the impulsive dirty joke at the back of my throat.
"Really? Can't wait to see."
I said it with double meaning.
(I want to see your body) quick.
I even had my secret weapon, Elmisel. Karen's tit-slap power would triple.
Even as I ogled her breasts outright, Karen stood straight and pretended not to notice.
Such a good girl.
"Stia taught me swordsmanship."
"Stia did?"
"Karen's diligent and quick on the uptake. A little polishing, and she'd improve a lot, so I offered some pointers."
"Thanks. I was worried about how she was doing."
"I'm so happy to see you again, bro."
Me too.
If I showed Karen open affection, would Stia react?
"Me too, Karen. Missed you."
"Really?"
Our distance with Karen shrank bit by bit.
Her massive tits nearly brushing me was driving me mad.
Sure enough, Stia couldn't hold back her curiosity.
"What's your relationship? I heard you were party members from her adventurer days, but..."
Stia trailed off, as if regretting her words.
Afraid it'd sound like prying if there was more to it, probably.
But she was definitely curious.
"Yeah, party members. We get along, so people misunderstand."
"Hm. Melbritt bans opposite-sex dating, so obvious question. Forget I asked."
Stia's clear relief was adorable.
Karen looked like she was itching to speak.
If I'd allowed it, she'd blurt out she's my bro's cocksleeve.
We could say it outright, no big deal.
Hypnotize her to forget... nah, I'd skip such a boring suggestion anyway.
It'd blow over fine.
In Stia Harpeda's case.
She had a knack for things working out if left alone, so I held off hypnotizing just to see how far it'd go.
I'd hypnotize her when it was time to fuck.
I knew Stia had feelings for me.
But I'd wait a bit to confirm what kind.
"Looks like student council's here."
Karen and I followed Stia's gaze to the stairs.
My eyes widened.
Overwhelming tits swaying naturally with each step.
A beauty I'd never seen at Melbritt. Her standout feature: tits rivaling Karen's. No, bigger.
Tits...
I stared, mesmerized by their motion.
Taller and slimmer than Karen, her slim waist made the jiggling tits above it insanely powerful.
Someone once said big tits make you look slow. I'd even asked Karen if she could fight properly with those.
I don't think big-titted people look agile.
But this woman didn't look slow at all.
Did all student council members carry themselves like Sia, with neurotic precision?
Her huge tits jiggled faintly due to physics, but nothing else moved.
They say you spot masters by their walk.
Definitely highly trained.
Her bodily control was flawlessly smooth.
Did she notice me checking her out?
I felt her cold gaze pierce me.
Jet-black bob cut. Straight bangs like measured with a ruler. Thick brows, pursed lips, sharp eyes, and bold features gave her a fierce impression.
Hard to judge by looks alone, but she seemed steeped in an arrogant demeanor.
Imagining her glaring and hurling venom like Diana at me was already tough.
I'd been scrutinizing her when she reached us.
"Gather up. Emergency directive volunteers."
She said.
A firm, unyielding voice brooking no refusal.
Male and female candidates alike moved without hesitation.
"The directive is to go to Kepa and wipe out the bandit gang."
"Kepa?"
"Not monsters, but bandits?"
The candidates buzzed.
"Quiet."
One word from the student council woman, and mouths shut.
"Too many volunteers. We need five. We'll talk after."
"......"
As everyone hesitated, she said lowly.
"Didn't you hear?
Everyone but five, leave."
"W-We wanted to hear the details too..."
A female candidate stammered, and she whipped around.
The eye contact sent the candidate fleeing the main building.
Then one by one, others followed.
Holy crap. Just a glare, and they bolted. What kind of woman is she?
"Nine left. Good.
Better no cowards who flee at this.
To the student council room."
The student council woman turned sharply and walked.
We exchanged glances, and she looked back.
"Ah. Forgot to introduce myself."
Forgot, huh.
Surprisingly human.
Maintaining her icy, mechanical expression, she continued.
"I'm Neris Rike.
Student council vice president."
I cheered inwardly.
After Neris Rike's brief intro,
The nine of us, including me, followed her like we were overwhelmed.
Student council room at the end of the first-floor right corridor.
My heart pounded.
Who'd be inside? The president, probably.
Maybe my goal of dominating Melbritt.
Could happen here.
Eight candidates in a closed space. Melbritt rank 2, Neris Rike, and the president.
Hypnosis success meant incalculable gains.
What to do?
Hit the president on sight?
Or hypnotize Neris before entering?
Excluding Karen, I could trance the other seven. Sweat beaded on my palms.
Noah's words echoed.
Neris Rike's family devoted everything to countering magic, right?
I'd thought no way to block hypnosis then.
Still did.
But if she had an artifact resisting it even briefly?
3 seconds, no 5, unnecessary.
The moment she sensed a threat, she'd subdue me without hesitation.
Too risky.
Calm down. At least until the student council room.
We reached the door.
Neris opened it casually, no knock.
Inside: a large desk likely the president's. Back: big window overlooking Melbritt's garden.
Purely office-like, no personal items.
Disappointingly, no president.
"......"
She'd appeared from nowhere before, staring at me by the tree.
Expected here, and absent.
Strength drained from my body.
"Close the door."
The last one in shut it.
I regrouped mentally.
Neris Rike.
One big fish. Situation wasn't bad.
"President's absent, so I'll explain instead."
Not a breath.
Neris scanned us, then continued.
"This directive is a special one from the president to foster talent in Rabbit and Wolf Ranks.
As stated: exterminate the Kepa bandit gang.
Goal: swiftly grasp and uproot village issues. Questions?"
"Uh, um..."
One candidate raised a hand hesitantly.
I get it.
"Chest out. Speak clearly.
Why so spineless, Melbritt hero candidate?"
"Yes, sir! Sorry!"
"What's the question?"
"I heard it was rescuing villagers. What's this about fostering growth?"
Trivial, but I'd wondered too.
"Shouldn't we all go help instead of talking?
Five-person limit—what's that mean?"
"Melbritt aid is selective for the talented. That's policy.
Rescuing matters, but president deemed this perfect for developing Wolf and Rabbit candidates."
"P-Perfect issue?"
The candidate sounded exasperated.
"If innocents are dying to bandits, isn't rescue priority?"
"Sometimes, matters outweigh saving the immediate."
"...Dragon Rank thinking!"
It was heating up.
Neris embodied the Melbritt dissonance I'd felt. Fully internalized.
Neris stared at the questioner.
"Then go."
"...Pardon?"
"Melbritt ignores what candidates do outside.
Want to help? Go solo to Kepa and take them out."
"That's..."
"Won't stop you.
Melbritt saves its way, picks the able.
Don't like it? Leave."
"Urk...!"
Realizing no common ground, the guy stormed out.
Eight now...
Neris continued unfazed.
"Will you hear the rest?"
"Yes."
"Rewards and bandit-slaying. Two birds, one stone, right?"
The rest nodded positively.
"Good attitude. These aren't ordinary bandits.
Suspected monsterized humans with red soulstones ingested."
"M-Monsterized humans?"
The warming mood froze fast.
"Fully monsterized: average level 300-400 matchup.
But lacking combat skill, even leveled, tough foes."
"S-So five of us handle monsterized bandits?"
"Who knows."
Neris said meaningfully.
"It's a bandit 'gang.'
Numbers, monsterization progress—you'll find out."
"Ah, haha..."
The positives edged back.
"I-I'm out!"
"Not my level. Sorry."
Unknown candidates fled like scripted, leaving me and three others.
......
I could see why this world needed saving.
