"When did I fall asleep…?"
I'd just woken up in a strange, drunk-like posture. I didn't remember when or how I'd fallen asleep.
My head hurt a lot yesterday, so I don't understand how I ended up like this. I looked around, and that guy appeared in my field of vision.
"Good morning, Master. Looks like you had fun yesterday."
This guy—Ixion—said that because the room was a disaster. It looked like a tornado had passed through.
"I don't know how this happened… more importantly, when did you get here?"
I sat up in bed to analyze what happened yesterday, but my question about Ixion was more important.
I'd left him on the Brynhild all night to make repairs.
When did he get here?
"I arrived last night and found you asleep here," he said frankly.
"…"
"If that's true… why didn't you clean the room?"
He responded cynically, "Whose fault is it that this happened? You should learn that I'm your servant, not your slave."
This guy is really disrespectful.
Though he's right—if it's like this, it's my fault.
Reluctantly, I got up after the pain subsided.
Both I and this trash can have proceeded to pick things up off the floor.
Ixion told me a few things.
"After finishing repairs, I went to investigate at the palace."
"It seems what you're doing is good for both the Prime Minister and the country, but also bad for those who benefit from them. I suggest taking measures against them."
I immediately responded with a firm "No!"
"Mayer-san said he'd handle all the problems. It's better for me to leave it in his hands so I don't have more trouble with other idiot nobles."
I want to live a quiet life for the rest of my time at the academy, the other academy that'll come later, and most importantly, my private life.
Then I remembered two things.
First: I haven't held any meetings to look for a fiancée.
Second: After breaking off my fake friendships with those fake friends, I have no human company.
I'm back to how my previous life started. Just me.
Doesn't matter anyway—I'm used to it.
"Ixion, looks like we're done cleaning."
"…What are you talking about? We just picked up the clothes. Now we have to collect the broken mirror pieces and drawers scattered all over the place."
I gave him a shameless expression at that.
"Don't look at me like that. You did this, so you should take responsibility."
"But I want breakfast!"
"It's already past noon!! What do you expect to find for breakfast at this hour?"
Again, I exclaimed, "Huh!"
◇
We spent almost an hour fixing everything.
That bastard Ixion made me collect the mirror fragments and put them in a trash bag, then I put the drawers back in place and finally left my room.
"I'm hungry."
I told that to this guy when I heard something very typical—but something I hadn't heard in a while.
"Quincy-kun, explain why this woman was holding your hand!"
"I'm the one who should be asking that! Who is this commoner!?"
"C-calm down… listen, Aileen. You're a Baron's daughter, and it's normal for me, a future heir, to have lovers. You too, Brenda-chan, don't make a scene over something as normal as—"
Before the guy could finish speaking, both girls proceeded to hit him.
"Please, stop! I'm the future heir of Viscountcy Drole and— Waaahhh!"
I watched as a rain of blows and punches fell on the poor devil.
This was what I missed most about this place.
Poor devils who think women are beings who'd accept something like infidelity as if it were normal.
…
Well, that's what I think, since my mother knows my father sneaks out sometimes and comes back smelling. The same applies to my brothers. I feel sorry for my future sisters-in-law.
If I were a girl and my partner cheated on me… no doubt I'd kick his ass really hard.
I hate harems. I never understood why a woman would willingly be with a man who has ten or twenty women after him.
Even if you talk about economic, political, etc., reasons, it still seems very disgusting to me—and in this country, this disgusting fantasy world, that was normal.
Good thing I only have to worry about having one wife.
I hope she's faithful, affectionate, and if possible, has big breasts.
◇
It wasn't lunchtime yet, and the dormitory cafeteria was preparing dishes.
I'll go to class after I eat something.
I'm wandering around, looking for something to eat. I even told Ixion to help me and bring something from a shop.
Stealing is wrong, so I gave him money to leave it after getting anything edible.
"I'm so hungry~~~"
My stomach was growling a lot. I really was very hungry for some reason.
In the distance, I could see a girl pushing a laundry cart.
She was very small. I could only notice her strange orange hair—three strands standing up like a fork.
"Uhh~ I want to eat something."
The girl passed by me, but I paid no attention.
The next moment, for some strange reason, I lost consciousness.
◇
"Hmm? How did I get here?"
I found myself in a strange place. It was dark, very dark. I could hear something like running water but didn't know where it came from.
I walked and could feel a wall, pipes everywhere.
After a few steps, I managed to find something—it was… a doorknob!
"Finally, a door! Now I can see where the hell I am and find out how I got he—"
Upon opening the door, I couldn't finish speaking because in front of me was paradise. No, wait—the best description of what's happening now is that I entered hell.
Because in front of me was the most bizarre sight I'd ever see in my life, and that is…
"Kyaa!! What's a man doing in the women's bathroom!?"
"Don't you dare look at me, you dirty bastard!"
"Someone, call the supervisor, quick!!"
…Noble girls, naked.
Their bodies, which should never have been seen by a country noble like me, were now etching their curves into my corneas. It was a very unpleasant sight since I'm not interested in any of these mini sluts.
I quickly turned my eyes from right to left—only naked girls or girls in towels as far as my eyes could see.
It was my first time entering, but unlike the boys' bathroom, this one was much larger and more elegant. I don't know if they're nobles or aristocrats—I only know this.
My situation is very bad.
"U-u-uwaaahhh!!"
I let out a scream as I ran away in terror. The girls threw things at me—anything they had on hand or nearby. One even threw a marble ornament at me.
How much fucking strength does she have to do that??
I managed to escape these crazies as more and more girls in towels or naked came into my range of vision.
This is truly the worst.
Upon exiting the bathroom, I observed through the windows that it was already dark.
How was that possible?
Right now, that doesn't matter. Only one thing matters, and that is…
"Run!!"
I yelled because upon turning around, I saw some girls coming out of the bathroom to chase me. Without a doubt, this is the worst and most important thing.
"Ixion, help meeeee!"
◇◇◇
In the girls' dormitory dining hall, Erselica was having a snack.
Her food was light since she had to get up early. She heard a scream, stood up, and approached the door with her plate in hand.
The other girls in the cafeteria also heard something and stood up. That's when Erselica had a front-row view of Rudel being chased by some girls who seemed to have come out of the bathroom.
Erselica took a bite of her food with an inexplicable joy for anyone except that she knew why.
That was…
(I knew it would be incredible to see, and it was better than expected.)
…She was forcing the events of the villain Rudel on her own.
(Don't worry, you dirty bastard. For the rest of the school year, I'll make sure you suffer everything you were supposed to go through. Only then can the prince regain his confidence and finish you off so you don't bring ruin upon our heads. Ufufu.)
Rudel's hell, courtesy of Erselica, had only just begun.
◇◇◇
From that day on, Erselica skipped classes from time to time—all to ensure Rudel was involved or linked to some incident at school and framed for it.
One day, she knocked him out on the head and hid him in the boiler room of the girls' bathroom.
Another day, she took money a girl collected from her classroom and put it in his pocket. Of course, Rudel was asleep in class, so his classmates did and said nothing.
On another occasion, she made some obscene graffiti in the girls' bathroom, thanks to Rudel's handwriting being very easy to duplicate. No one objected that day.
Thus passed the remaining days of the semester—all to give Rudel facts and basis for his misdeeds.
◇
There's now less than a week left before classes end and the interschool second semester begins.
Very strange things have been happening to me—from waking up in the girls' bathroom to being accused of theft without even knowing about it.
That bastard Ixion disappeared since then because he exaggerated with my request and returned after a week with a mountain of money. I sent him to buy me food, not to invest in it.
To avoid more problems than I already have, I had to bribe the director, teachers, and involved students. I lost a lot of money, but I don't suffer from that since I'm disgustingly rich.
One condition for not being expelled despite being prone to being involved in weird things was that I had to participate in this interschool event.
It's because there are houses hostile toward me who want the chance to defeat me after surely investing millions in their latest-generation Mobile Knights.
No doubt my life is very strange. There's only one thing that makes me happy now, and that is…
"There she is."
Having finally discovered the mysterious voice I heard that day.
It's a small girl from the Viscount class. Her name is Erselica van Reinfield.
I'm currently following her because I always saw her in the places where I was incriminated for some reason.
The curious thing is that despite being around several people, only she had that strange cynical smile—which I also sometimes make with Lyle—reflected on her small face.
I try to corner her to interrogate her, but she always avoids me somehow, as if she knows I'm after her. Or I end up accidentally falling onto a girl.
How the hell do I end up like that?
◇
The semester had finally come to an end.
Exams were finally over, and now the interschool event was starting.
No doubt, this was very satisfying.
Unlike the duels last semester that were by section, this time it was everyone against me.
I fought in a single place against… how many were there? Thirty or fifty idiots who thought they stood a chance against Battler.
I didn't use a single weapon—just my fists. Many used magical firearms, while others used magical swords or spears.
I beat them all up.
After the result, my ego inflated so much that I finally decided to do something I'd never been able to do.
Lose my new virginity.
Thanks to Ixion, he found a place where the girls and sanitation were of the highest level.
Back home, there were obviously places too. My stupid brothers grabbed me one day and forced me to go there, but because the place was dusty, I made the simplest decision to go back.
If there's dust in the place, it's normal to think the girls aren't well cared for either.
"I finally made it!"
After a while wandering around the exotic surroundings, I found it—a very eye-catching building called "The Nest of Sins."
A name that seems to fit its purpose very well.
"Finally, at last, the day has come where I can play all I want and become a true man."
When I grabbed one of the doorknobs to enter, two people came out at that instant.
"Sweetie, please listen to me!"
"There's nothing to say! Go have fun with those guys you so clearly like!"
"Leave me and the little ones, Donovan and Dorian, so you can have fun biting the pillow!"
"Fina, please! I swear, it was just curiosity! I'm not really like that!"
"Liar!"
The couple left the place arguing.
While I…
"…"
"…"
"… … …"
…was horrified.
"Eeehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
"What the hell did he say!!"
I quickly looked at the place again. I hadn't noticed. What was beside the title being undoubtedly a symbol representing gender, but… this one was pointing downward!!
"Hiii~!"
I looked around once more. Seems I was so focused on losing my virginity that I didn't notice certain things.
It's natural for there to be girls and open bars around here, only… only… only these aren't places staffed by girls and are full of only men!!
Then the door opened, and a girl… no, a male dressed as a woman in very small, tight clothes came out.
"My~, what do we have here? A little lamb coming to seek a bit of sin ♡"
When I saw the male cross-dresser, I only said one thing before running away.
"I'm sorry!! I won't cheat on my wife even though I don't have one!!"
I screamed as I ran away in terror as if chased by wild dogs.
Ixion, you damn idioooooooooooot.
◇◇◇
That same night, in the Kingsfort Duchy.
Klein was grabbing several bottles and…
"Damn it, damn it all, damn aaaaaaaaaaaall!!"
…smashing them against the floor.
He was angry, very, very angry.
The reason was simple—it was because Rudel…
"How dare that miserable trash survive!?"
…managed to come out unscathed from the pirate attack he himself had paid for.
"I paid a lot of money for it, bribed several ministers, and even hid it from my father so he wouldn't bother me!"
"Why!?"
"Why is that country trash still alive?? Ahhhhhhhh!!!!"
Klein's room was very large, filled with luxurious things only a millionaire would have—only now that room was in tatters since he'd just learned of Rudel's victory over the Bluebeard pirates.
After smashing a portrait of his late mother, he called a servant who was outside.
"Hey you, come here!"
"Yes. Do you need something from me, Klein-sama?"
"I want you to contact that miserable Faiviel immediately and tell him to come now!"
The servant bowed to confirm the order when he was stopped again by Klein.
The servant knew what that meant—he could only nod.
"I want you to bring maids. No! Commoners! Bring me a dozen virgin peasant girls from the neighboring territories. Also, if they have partners, bring them too."
"The feeling of impotence from those dirty bastards while their women scream and cry will undoubtedly make me feel better. Ahahahahahahahahaha!!"
The servant nodded as his young master laughed like a madman without remedy.
"I'll crush you, in the name of Kingsfort, my future, and above all, my glorious self. I swear before this year ends, I'll kill you, your family, and rape those bitches in front of your face!!"
Klein swore his vengeance as the moonlight reflected in his room.
