Ch.278October’s Dungeon, and Community Work (1)

“Huh…!!”

I woke up immediately at the feeling of something entering my mouth.

“Ptooey!!”

I immediately spat out whatever had gotten into my mouth.

It was a fly. Ugh. Seriously. Disgusting.

“Shota. You were sleeping so soundly with your mouth wide open.”

Eri said with a laugh from her position on my lap.

“Ahh…I slept well.”

But…something felt wet down below.

“Oh no!!”

I immediately realized something was wrong with my lower half. It was soaked with liquid as if I’d wet myself. A sticky, gooey sensation like drinking jelly…shit. I had another wet dream.

‘Well, I did have an erotic dream, so it makes sense…’

But another wet dream? I thought I’d worked pretty hard having sex last night…but it seems my little soldiers had reproduced again. Just how healthy am I?

“Hahahahaha!! This guy had another wet dream!!”

Taiga burst into laughter.

“At this point, isn’t the faucet in your lower half broken?”

Kana said with an expression of disbelief.

“I need to hurry to a public bathroom…”

I had to clean up somehow. Even if I couldn’t dry it completely, at least if I wiped it…

Grab-!!

Just then, Tina firmly grabbed my leg.

“It’s…such a waste.”

Tina mumbled hesitantly.

“Y-yeah.”

Umi gulped audibly.

“No. What’s a waste?”

I made an incredulous face.

My girlfriends were the type who preferred action over words. Tina, Umi, and Kana immediately moved their heads toward my pants. Those two I could understand, but…Kana!! She’s clearly lost her mind!!

“Hey!! That’s not fair!!!”

Taiga also immediately moved her head toward my pants.

“You crazy women!”

I screamed immediately. Only then did I understand how a normal person feels when being eaten by zombies.

“Hehe. I’m glad everyone’s getting along so well.”

Eri just smiled gently watching us. No. This is not the time for a warm atmosphere…

———

Anyway, after enjoying our free time following the golden course of visiting local restaurants and cafes, we all gathered at the designated spot.

And on the fourth day, it was time to go home.

“Aw…it’s a shame.”

Umi grumbled.

“Huh…? You’re disappointed?”

I was actually starting to want to return to Emoshita.

“I miss Master and all…”

I wanted to learn swordsmanship under Gonzaemon. I wanted to master the Single Flash technique more. Although I’d gotten quite strong, I still couldn’t match Gonzaemon. He used the Single Flash as naturally as breathing to pressure me. Not to mention he could stylishly swap to the Blazing Stance whenever needed.

“And…I miss Madoka and Mika too.”

This trip had wrapped up quite nicely. Honestly, I didn’t have much interest in Kyoto anymore.

“Shota…you get bored rather quickly.”

Eri spoke as if she knew everything.

Ah…that’s true. Even in my original world, I had a strange wanderlust. I couldn’t stay in one place for too long. Something like a compulsion to wander.

“Alright everyone! Did you have fun? But the school trip isn’t over yet! The trip continues until we get home! Now everyone! Dismissed!”

Our homeroom teacher led us with the classic school trip catchphrase.

“Ah…my wife. She gets so lonely…I need to hurry back.”

The teacher hummed and muttered those words.

Teacher…I’m glad you’re happy.

———

Taking the same route back, we arrived at my hometown, Emoshita.

“Ahh!! This is Emoshita’s air!!”

I immediately took a deep breath. Though I hadn’t been possessed for long, I felt certain this was my hometown.

“My home!!!!”

I immediately opened the door.

“Oh. You’re back?”

An unexpected combination was before my eyes. Mika writing a novel…and Madoka sleeping soundly in Mika’s arms.

“Did you wait long for me?”

I said to Mika.

“………”

Mika silently put the sleeping Madoka down gently.

Whoosh-!

Then Mika rushed toward me at incredible speed.

“Idiot. You’re asking the obvious.”

Mika snuggled tightly into my arms.

“Yeah. Yeah.”

I smiled and wrapped my arms around Mika’s waist.

Just then, Madoka opened her eyes.

“Ah! Big brother!!”

Madoka immediately ran toward me and hugged me tight.

Rub-rub-!

Madoka immediately rubbed her cheek against mine. Now I truly felt like I was home.

———-

At that time, the Kirtan Pirates were also moving their pirate ship through Kyoto’s airspace toward Emoshita.

And there was something only the Kirtan Pirates could do.

Whoooosh-!

Numerous pirate ships appeared in Earth’s atmosphere.

“Hahaha!! So this is where Arigiri Shota lives!!!”

Numerous pirate ships appeared.

“Sa-shi-su-se-so a-i-u-e-o!! We’ve come to take his and his comrades’ heads!!”

Pirates from across the galaxy had come to Earth.

“As expected…our husband really stirs up big trouble.”

Kirtan smiled on the deck.

Shota’s group had thoroughly gotten on Pink Beard’s bad side. Pink Beard had issued a bounty throughout the galaxy. There were plenty of outlaws from other planets aiming for Shota’s head.

“You shall not pass!!!”

The Kirtan ship immediately blocked Earth.

“Kirtan!!! You’re in the same business!! Don’t interfere with our bounty hunting!!!”

One pirate shouted loudly.

“Sorry, but I can’t let anyone who threatens our husband pass.”

Kirtan grinned and raised a bottle of alcohol.

This was not just for drinking, but a sign shared by all members of the Kirtan Pirates.

BOOOOOM-!!!

The Kirtan ship’s main cannon suddenly spewed fire.

FWOOOOSH-!!!

With a single shot from the photon cannon, one pirate ship was reduced to dust.

“What…?!”

Pirates on other ships wore shocked expressions.

“How cowardly!! A surprise attack!!!”

They angrily protested, though they were the ones in the wrong.

“Cowardly? That’s pirate-like. Are you expecting to face honorable knights? Huh?”

Kirtan said while drawing a sword.

“Kill them all!!!”

At Kirtan’s cry, all the pirates cheered.

Every member of the Kirtan Pirates had confidence. They had never lost a fleet battle.

As a result, Kirtan annihilated over 40 pirate gangs. Though Kirtan did this just for Shota, it was an incredible achievement regardless of intention.

At this moment, the Kirtan Pirates became the most powerful pirate group in the universe. Kirtan had achieved what would later be called the “Earth Fleet Battle.”

———-

After cleanly blocking the invasion toward Earth, Kirtan immediately headed to Emoshita.

“I’m going to see my husband!! Report if anything happens!”

Kirtan shouted urgently, as if burning with passion.

“Aye aye, Captain!!!”

All the pirates cheered.

After warping directly to Shota’s house in Emoshita, Kirtan rushed to embrace Shota.

“Shota!! I missed you! During your school trip’s free time, I couldn’t make time…”

Kirtan immediately purred like a cat and snuggled into Shota’s arms.

‘Ah…it was worth fighting all those pirates…’

At this moment, Kirtan truly felt the reward of hard work.

——–

At that time, on a small planet under Pink Beard’s control.

Pink Beard had created wanted posters for Shota’s entire group and distributed them throughout the planet. Pink Beard offered the maximum bounty he could set.

“You lot!! Get back to the farm!!! What are you dawdling for?!”

The landowner immediately pointed a laser rifle at the serfs.

Crack-!

However, the serfs’ expressions all changed at once. They reverently picked up the wanted posters with Sashiss’s face printed on them.

“The great savior!! Sashiss said he would support our independence!!!”

“Uoooooh!!”

They all raised their farming tools.

“Put those down right now?!! Huh?!!”

The landowner threateningly raised his laser rifle.

However, before they could react, one person threw a sickle.

SWOOSH-!

The sickle sliced through the landowner’s neck.

“Uoooooh!!! Kill them all!!!”

“Sashiss will save us!!!”

The serfs all rose up together.

This kind of rebellion occurred throughout all the colonies under Pink Beard’s control.

“Sashiss!! Sashiss!!! Sashiss!!!”

Before long, the rebellion had concluded.

The collective farms, symbols of exploitation, were burning, along with the bodies of Pink Beard’s soldiers and landowners.

Though the serfs were at a disadvantage in terms of equipment, once they all rose up together, the soldiers could do nothing.

“SASHISS!!!!!”

All the serfs chanted Sashiss’s name as if calling upon a god.

——–

“Achoo!!!!”

Sashiss suddenly sneezed. After the school trip, Sashiss had come over to my house to hang out.

Sashiss and I were engaged in an intense battle on the home gaming console we’d recently bought. It was a two-player fighting game. Though we started casually, we were both burning with competitive spirit.

“Sashiss. Do you have a cold?”

I asked Sashiss.

“No. I just suddenly sneezed.”

Sashiss said.

“Yeah right. You’re subtly making excuses about not feeling well as insurance, aren’t you?”

I laughed and immediately executed a grab combo against Sashiss’s character.

“W-what nonsense!”

Sashiss immediately got angry.

WHAM-!!

Thanks to the clean grab technique, Sashiss’s character lost almost half its health.

About 15 seconds remained. The system was such that the player with less health would lose even without a KO.

I immediately ran to the edge of the map and decided to just run away for the remaining time.

“Don’t run away!!! Fight me head-on!!!”

Sashiss screamed and desperately tried to chase my character.

“Time up!!!”

However, the round ended helplessly with my victory.

“Argh!! You jerk!!”

Sashiss threw down the controller in anger. The cool-headed concept was nowhere to be seen now.

This is it. This is fun. I chuckled while dodging Sashiss’s playful hits. Fighting games with friends…so fun!!!!

Anyway, my daily life was peaceful.
