Ch.166Frill (2)

As morning came, Sasith and Prill woke up together.

“Good morning.”

Sasith said to Prill, his face slightly flushed.

“S-Sasith… good morning too.”

Prill replied, hastily hiding under the blanket. She was embarrassed to show her defenseless sleeping face.

“I’ll… make breakfast.”

Sasith got up immediately to prepare the morning meal.

“Sh-should I help?”

Prill approached Sasith right away.

“No. Just rest. You’re a… hostage, or should I say… guest after all.”

Sasith said, stroking Prill’s hand.

“I… want to help.”

Prill said.

“Why… weren’t you hostile to us? Why are you being so kind?”

Sasith asked, staring directly at Prill.

“Well… because I like you.”

Prill went with the mood and made a confession.

“Really!! Do I have to say such things out loud?!”

Prill shouted, her face turning bright red as she realized she had said something embarrassing.

“I… like you too. As a woman.”

Sasith said, scratching his cheek.

“B-but I’m not human…”

Prill said.

“And I’m… not from the other world.”

Sasith smiled and wrapped his arm around Prill’s waist. It was his way of showing courage.

“We may be different… but our feelings for each other are the same.”

Sasith said.

“Sasith…”

Prill brought her lips toward Sasith.

It might be a bit much to add fuel to the fire, but Sasith was smoothly persuading (?) Prill.

Honestly, Prill was already halfway converted.

———-

At the same time, morning at Shota’s house.

“Kuuuh…!”

Umi was sleeping defensively, drooling.

“Oh my. It’s a flood. A flood.”

I laughed as I wiped the corner of Umi’s mouth.

“Really… she sleeps like a child. How can someone be so defenseless yet so beautiful? Pretty girls are so unfair.”

Just then, Mika opened her eyes.

“Mika is plenty beautiful too.”

I said.

“Huh?! What are you saying!”

Mika’s face immediately turned red.

“Besides, you had a flood too last night, Mika. Just in a different place.”

I laughed as I wrapped my arm around Mika’s waist.

“Really! You pervert!”

Mika playfully hit me.

“Come on, everyone get up! We all eat breakfast together! That’s the rule!”

Eri said, wearing only an apron over her underwear.

“Ugh… just put it in the fridge. I’ll eat it when I get up later.”

Taiga said, covering herself with the blanket. Taiga liked to sleep in. She was weak in the mornings.

“No!! Our harem has grown! We need to establish rules! Otherwise, there’ll be no discipline! Discipline!”

Eri shouted.

“Eri… hasn’t your character changed?”

Umi finally got up, slurping up her drool.

“I’m the legal wife!”

Eri declared firmly.

“Tch. Lucky to be the legal wife.”

Umi got up and tried to put on some clothes. As half-naked Umi looked so beautiful, I immediately climbed on top of her.

“No lewd acts!! It’ll delay us by an hour!”

Eri stopped me.

“Okay.”

I decided to save the sexy time for later.

Anyway, a peaceful morning passed as usual.

After eating together, I started writing my web novel. The plan was to write for a while, then go to the kendo dojo for training, hunt monsters at night, and then tackle the dream dungeon—that’s the golden schedule.

Mika naturally joined us for the meal.

“Delicious…!”

Mika’s face showed amazement.

“My girlfriends are amazing cooks!”

I laughed, entering proud boyfriend mode.

“Well, I’m the cooking champion though.”

But I couldn’t concede that point.

“What champion!! I don’t accept that!”

Eri immediately shouted.

“Oh? Want to taste my heavenly fried rice again?”

I immediately picked up my spoon.

“Shota, are you good at cooking?”

Mika asked.

“Of course. There’s nothing I can’t do. You’ll lose your mind when you taste my fried rice.”

I declared firmly.

“That’s his usual exaggeration… but hearing him say it makes me want to try it.”

Mika muttered. I’ll have to make it for her later.

“By the way, Mika. Your expression has improved.”

I said with a smile.

“Sigh. Shota… you do know how to make women happy.”

Taiga said with a complicated expression.

She was clearly unhappy that I had gone back on my word about Tina being the last and brought Mika in.

“Sigh. How did I end up with such a playboy…”

Umi lamented her fate.

“Whoever falls in love first loses. Let’s all lose together happily.”

Eri said with a bright smile.

“Well… Shota was amazing last night, but… I’ve never eaten at such a lively table before… it’s touching.”

Mika said shyly.

Mika… this girl! I couldn’t help but burst into tears.

“Let’s make it even livelier from now on!!”

I shouted, caught up in the moment.

“Everyone come here!! Let’s share our love noisily together!!”

I immediately set the mood for sexy time.

And so, everyone mixed bodies harmoniously. Mika gradually melted into the harem. Somehow, rolling around in bed together made everyone closer.

Afterward, Mika and I worked on our laptops together. After finishing my daily serialization, I went straight to the kendo dojo for training.

———-

And as time passed, that night.

All our party members had gathered.

“Ah! Prill!!!!”

I immediately spotted Prill.

“Aaaah! Crazy spiky-head!!”

Prill, with a terrified expression, hid behind Sasith. Prill wouldn’t leave Sasith’s side.

“Prill… has decided to join our party.”

Sasith said, clearing his throat.

“My, my. Not wanting to be separated even during monster hunting. How lovey-dovey.”

Umi chuckled.

“Hehehe. Sasith. I thought you weren’t interested in this kind of thing… but you’re quite good at it?”

Taiga also looked at Sasith with a strange gaze, like looking at a younger sibling.

“D-don’t tease me.”

Sasith blushed.

“I’m useful in battle too, you know? I won’t hold you back, spiky-head.”

Prill said.

Well, Prill was indeed useful. Even a rotten fish is still a fish—she had the performance to be a worthy companion in the game.

The psycho-robot that Prill controlled, Pink Teddy, boasted tremendous tanking ability.

It had resistance and immunity to all physical attacks.

But… how did I cut through that psycho-robot? Well, everything is equal before my Flash Slash.

That’s partly why Prill was somewhat afraid of me.

“Great!! Then we have a new companion!!”

I said casually.

“Not as a companion… but as Sasith’s lover.”

At that moment, Prill mumbled hesitantly.

“………”

Me, Umi, Taiga, and Tina immediately fell silent. Damn… too sweet.

“Hey!! You guys openly flaunted your relationships! Why can’t I?!!”

Sasith shouted.

“True. It’s about time spring came for Sasith too.”

I nodded in understanding.

“All that suffering as underwear was worth it.”

I said with a distant look in my eyes.

“Don’t talk about that!!!”

Sasith shouted loudly.

“Underwear? What does that mean?”

Prill tilted her head in confusion.

“Nothing!! Don’t listen to Shota!!”

Sasith shouted.

“Sasith… was that passionate night with me just a fling?”

I put on a hurt expression.

“Don’t say things that could be misunderstood!!!”

Sasith shouted.

——-

Anyway, we decided to level up by hunting monsters as usual before the July dungeon appeared.

“Gaaaah!!”

The monsters seemed to have leveled up much more than usual, perhaps considering our progress.

KWAAAANG-!!!!

The monsters all threw thick javelins at once, starting to kite us disgustingly from a distance.

“Leave it to me!! Pink Teddy!!”

Prill immediately summoned her psycho-robot.

The giant teddy bear immediately blocked our path.

PABABABABAK-!

The javelins all struck the teddy bear. However, Pink Teddy was sturdy. All the javelins bounced off. Its physical resistance was definitely effective.

“HYAAAAH!!!”

I immediately charged forward with my sword.

“Huh!!!”

The female-type monsters holding spears made startled noises. Though female in form, their bodies were covered in scales, so I felt no guilt. Anyone would recognize them as monsters.

“Women with spears… in short, spear women!!!!”

I shouted as I swung my sword.

“I knew you’d make that joke!! You’re really vulgar!!”

Umi immediately objected.

“HYAAAAH!!!!”

PUSHAAAASASASASAK-!!!

My sword strikes, maximized in destructive power by Flash Slash, whirled like a storm. With that, the spear women were immediately torn to pieces and scattered.

That took care of the main group. Perfect.

“Really… stupidly strong. Are you really human, spiky-head? Even in the other world, fighters of this caliber are rare.”

Prill wondered.

“I sometimes wonder too. How should I put it? Like someone born to fight.”

Sasith said.

“Hmph… you’ve sensed my warrior spirit. You’ve grown, Sasith.”

I said to Sasith.

“No. Don’t be so proud.”

Sasith objected.

Recently… Sasith has been cold to me!!! Is it ‘lovers over friends’ now?!! Really… I should turn him back into human underwear to bring him to his senses.

———-

Anyway, despite having a new companion, there was no problem in coordinating.

“Then let’s have an after-party today!! We can talk about Sasith’s underwear story!”

Taiga said with a chuckle.

“Oh! Are we staying overnight at the hideout again?”

Umi was already creating a party atmosphere.

“S-Sasith, are you going too?”

At that moment, Prill grabbed Sasith’s collar with an anxious expression.

“Of course… I have to. We’re companions.”

Sasith said. He secretly enjoys hanging out with us.

“Companions…”

Prill muttered with a complicated expression.

“Then I’ll… go to Sasith’s house first and clean up. There are all sorts of things at Sasith’s house… it gets dusty.”

Prill said, seeming to have resigned herself to something.

“All sorts of things?”

Sasith’s house… I was quite curious. He never lets anyone visit, no matter what.

“N-not my house!”

Sasith immediately cut off that line of conversation.

“But… Prill, you should join us too.”

I immediately pointed out the obvious.

“Me? Why?”

Prill was surprised.

“Well… you’re a companion, right? Fighting together makes us companions.”

I said.

“Companions…”

Prill murmured the word.

“Yeah!! Companions!! You must come!!”

I shouted loudly.

“And please take good care of our Magic Panty Sagis!”

I shouted loudly.

“Don’t give me weird nicknames!!!”

Sasith immediately got angry.

Anyway, we decided to have a chicken party with Prill included.

At that moment, Prill approached me.

“Spiky-head, thank you.”

Prill said in a blunt tone.

“No problem.”

I smiled wryly and waved my hand.

Prill’s presence in our party seemed to have been accepted to some extent. Everything was going smoothly so far.

That’s what I thought until Pink Beard’s faction directly kidnapped Prill.
