Ch.148English Kindergarten Part-Time Job (1)

And finally, we arrived at Emoshita, which could be called our spiritual hometown.

“Well… everyone get home safely. Eri, aren’t you going to stop by your house?”

Shotaro asked.

“Ah… I was planning to stay at Shota’s place tonight.”

Eri said, her face slightly flushed.

“Hmph. Now that you’ve secured the position of first wife, you want to enjoy the benefits?”

Shotaro said with a smirk.

“N-not particularly!! That’s not it at all!!”

Eri shouted, her face turning red.

“Seriously! You’re so insensitive, big brother!! That’s why your girlfriend is always scolding you!”

Eri yelled loudly.

“E-Eri… please stop talking about that.”

Shotaro sighed as he spoke.

Ah. So he has a girlfriend. Somehow… I felt a sense of kinship.

“Well then, get home safely.”

Shotaro smiled and waved his hand.

And so, we decided to return home.

We headed straight home. Today… since it was getting late, we decided to skip monster hunting.

By the way… our house is a complete mess. Every doorknob in the house had been ripped out.

These were traces of my desperate efforts to protect my chastity. Well, those efforts failed miserably.

“Let’s take a shower first.”

Umi said as she casually stripped off her clothes.

“It’ll take too long if we go in one by one. Let’s pair up.”

At that moment, Taiga made a suggestion.

“Ah… that’s true.”

The shower could fit three people, but it would be a bit cramped.

“Who are you going to shower with, Shota?”

Umi asked, looking at me.

Well, I should show some favoritism to the first wife at times like this.

“I’m going with Eri. She’s the first wife after all.”

I put my arm around Eri’s waist.

“Ugh….”

Umi immediately shot Eri an envious glance.

“If Umi had been the first wife, she would have been angry… well, since it’s Eri, I guess it can’t be helped.”

Taiga sighed as he spoke.

“Hey!! What if I had been the first wife!! You would have been left out!”

Umi immediately started bickering with Taiga.

“Let’s go in then, Eri.”

I went straight into the bathroom. Well… there was no point in locking the door. The doorknob was broken anyway.

“Okay.”

However, Eri and I had already reached our private space. Eri smiled at me and snuggled up against me.

———

After enjoying a happy time with Eri in the heat of the moment, we leisurely washed each other’s bodies.

Then, Eri spoke.

“Hey, if… if the harem is still maintained after graduation… can I make one request as the first wife?”

Eri asked.

“Hmm?”

If the harem is maintained… I wouldn’t mind.

“This country legally allows polygamy anyway.”

Eri said.

“That’s true…”

Unlike the original Japan, this was an otaku fantasy world. Harems were legal. I was dizzy when I first heard about it.

“Have your first child with me. Because I’m the first wife.”

Eri said.

Ah… so she was concerned about the order of having children.

“Of course. The first child will be with you, Eri.”

I kissed Eri as I spoke.

“When we become adults… and get settled, I’ll definitely get you pregnant, so start thinking of baby names.”

I said, kissing Eri.

“Kyaa❤ Shota, you’re so bold!”

Eri laughed and pressed her body against mine.

Maybe now… was the time to take advantage of the mood and think about such things.

“Don’t forget there’s a next in line!!”

Umi pounded on the door with tremendous force.

Bang-!

And then Umi and Taiga just barged in naked.

And so we all bathed together in the cramped space. I worked hard to satisfy everyone while I was at it.

——–

After spending such a happy day, we all fell asleep.

In my dreams… it was time for my secret meeting with Sasith. No, that sounds a bit off.

Meeting Sasith secretly while my girlfriends are asleep… that’s kind of exciting.

Anyway, I immediately opened my eyes in the dream world.

“Oww!! Oww!! Owwwwwt!!”

I immediately spotted Sasith.

“Just greet me normally!!!”

Sasith immediately objected.

“Ah, sorry. I was trying to think of some cool line.”

That’s why I ended up wasting time with that weird shout.

“Anyway, do I have to look at your troll face again today?”

Sasith muttered with a genuinely disgusted expression. Casually taking off his top was a bonus. So… he liked that.

“No. Today let’s try tackling some orcs.”

I said.

“A new dungeon…..”

Honestly, he seemed a bit nervous.

“You mean just me?”

Sasith stared at me.

“What, scared?”

I couldn’t help but give a sly smile.

“N-not particularly.”

Sasith immediately protested. Response time: 0.5 seconds.

“You’ll be fine, Sasith. You’re strong.”

I said.

But it wasn’t just empty words. Sasith had already mastered the basics. Getting the basics down is the hard part; after that, there’s not much difficulty.

Even in higher dungeons, the principles remain the same. The enemies just get stronger.

“Sigh… alright.”

Sasith nodded.

After watching Sasith enter the dungeon, I immediately headed to my own exclusive dungeon.

It was the so-called weapon dungeon. Using various weapons increases proficiency, and each increase in proficiency provides stat rewards.

‘Where should I start?’

Well, it was best to start with my specialty. I immediately headed for the door with a sword emblem.

Ding-!

“Welcome to the Hall of Swords.”

A white space with a single sword placed in it. A medieval longsword floating in mid-air. It seemed this was still a fantasy-themed world.

I immediately grabbed the sword.

‘Proficiency: 100 / 1000’

The maximum weapon proficiency was 1000. My current proficiency was 100. Lower than I expected.

“Every 100 proficiency points increases Strength and Speed stats by 1.”

Since it’s not leveling up, it’s a bit stingy.

Ding-!

The reward for the proficiency I had gained so far appeared immediately. My Strength and Speed increased by 1 each.

So if I reach 1000, I can increase Strength and Speed by 10 points? Well, with leveling capped now, I was grateful for even this.

“Alright! Let’s do this!”

I roared as I held the sword.

“Recalling past memories…beep.”

With that dry message, the white space transformed.

Fwooooosh-!!!

A strange space filled with red appeared.

“Kill and tear the humans!! Kill and tear all mortals!!!”

With a terrible scream, demons emerged.

They were fantasy-style demons. Red skin and horns on their foreheads. Yes, very stereotypical demons.

I was hoping for some sexy succubus ladies to appear… but I had no choice.

“It’s a hero!!! Kill the hero!!!”

The demons immediately rushed toward me.

“Uryaaaaaaah!!!!!!”

Caught up in the momentum, I immediately charged toward the demon army.

Whoooosh-! Whoosh-!!

Weapons wielded by demons came at me from all directions.

Should I use Kiryu Second to clear them all at once? The thought briefly crossed my mind.

‘But that’s not a good idea.’

I had experience as a hardcore gamer in my previous world. I had definitely done proficiency grinding before.

Proficiency usually increased faster when defending with a sword or landing many normal attacks. Sweeping enemies with area attacks or finishing moves actually resulted in less proficiency gain.

Therefore, the direct approach was best.

Claaaang-!!

After blocking a sword strike, I used my strength to create an opening.

“A mere mortal…!!”

The demon tried to quickly create distance.

Slaaaash-!!!

However, once the distance was closed, the demon’s fate was sealed. I immediately beheaded it.

“Uryaaaaaaah!!!”

I quickly delivered a series of attacks, carving a path forward. With each step forward, demon blood and flesh scattered everywhere.

“Come at me all at once!!!! You damn demons!!”

Right now, I was the very embodiment of a demon hunter.

“Holy shit!! Look at his eyes!! He’s gone mad!!!”

“Don’t falter, everyone!!!”

I must have shown a crazed look in my eyes that even Satan would acknowledge. Honestly, it didn’t feel bad.

———–

It felt like I had been slashing demons for about five hours.

“Whew… I’m exhausted.”

The simple repetitive task of cutting down demons had tired both my body and mind. When I get back, I should ask Bluebeard if I can bring a phone. It would be nice to listen to music while doing this.

Ding-!

‘Proficiency: 150’

Damn. Not even close. I expected to reach at least 200.

Moreover, the higher the proficiency, the harder it became to increase it. A difficult journey lay ahead.

It’s about time to head back. With that thought, I headed to the lobby.

At Bluebeard’s place, Sasith was standing with his arms crossed. His body was covered in sweat and wounds.

“Sasith… you…!”

He could have just sat down, but I immediately guessed why he had his arms crossed. So I started to speak.

“Nothing… happened.”

Sasith just wanted to say that line.

“Kyaa!! That’s it!!”

I immediately let out an exclamation. Well, it seemed Sasith had completed the dungeon on his first try. He really was talented.

“Surprisingly, you two get along well… these people.”

Violet said with an incredulous expression.

“It’s time to go back. Dawn is approaching.”

Bluebeard said.

“By the way, Sasith. What have you been up to lately?”

I casually asked.

Sasith was the protagonist, and it was inevitable that he would grow stronger by building relationships. I needed to find out what kind of relationships Sasith was building. Based on that, I could create another powerful psycho-robo.

“These days I’m working part-time. I need to earn living expenses.”

Sasith said.

“What kind of part-time job?”

That narrowed down the possibilities.

“At an English kindergarten… but I’ve run into some trouble.”

Sasith said.

“Ah….”

So it’s a relationship with a kindergarten teacher. It’s a relationship that can be built during vacation, and one that must be built in the first playthrough. The psycho-robo Drake Admiral, which is unlocked as a relationship reward, was a material for the Storm Guide, the highest-tier psycho-robo.

But what kind of trouble…

“Shota, can you help me?”

Sasith stared at me as he spoke.

Do I have to step in again? Sasith… you’re surprisingly incompe— I almost said it.

Anyway, I decided to help Sasith.
