“Grrrrrr…”

[-Occupation: Raid Boss- Level: 730 Name: Torrens Martini Cardinal.]

[HP: 1,011]

“Hm-hm-hmm~♬ This is quite a meticulously collected magi~♡”

“This is quite comfortable and nice. Hey, demon. Would you like to become my slave too?”

“Jack!! This middle-aged virgin is trying to steal me from you!!!”

“Ah, of all people, it had to be the Lord of Lust…”

“Master. Tsk! Since my brother summoned me, you can’t take me away.”

Luxuria, who appeared in response to my summons, was happily absorbing magi from the dried fish that I have no idea why it wasn’t dead. Beside her were the Dean, Ira, and the Dean’s slave, the pink demon, while I…

“Master. You’ve brought home something extraordinary again. That figure, that face. It looks quite familiar.”

“Hmm. So Gorde noticed too? I thought the same thing—if you just changed the skin color, eye whites, and hairstyle, it would look exactly like someone we know. Say, Jack. Are you thinking of going back to Aigram? Hmm? Come to think of it, you’ve been quite obsessed with Aigram from the beginning, haven’t you?”

“Hehe. I never knew the mayor there was a demon. Jack, are you collecting demons now? Are we not enough, so you’re increasing your women? Or perhaps human women don’t appeal to you anymore, so you’re looking for demon women? Oh my! But Gorde isn’t human either, so maybe Gorde was actually your type all along? Congratulations, Gorde! He says you’d be his favorite if you changed your skin color!”

“……”

I’m kneeling in the corner, getting thoroughly roasted by the three women. Ah, this is karma. This is the karma I’ve accumulated. It’s the debuff that prevents me from standing up to women.

I’ve genuinely never done anything intimate with Luxuria, but as one of the Seven Deadly Sins representing Lust, her outfit is already quite something. A skin-tight bodysuit with garter belts, a skirt that reveals her panties with the slightest movement of her legs. Even the chest area has side slits, making it look like underboob-revealing clothing—it’s provocative from any angle. Upon her appearance, Ragni, Rey, and Gorde immediately began interrogating me, and naturally, I could only cower. Wow, so this is what a harem is like? I’m dying of happiness. Literally, I might physically die.

“Excuse me, Jack? Don’t you have anything to say?”

“I have committed a mortal sin.”

“Master. I don’t think you’re a sinner. Just, please clarify the order. If women like that keep increasing, I’m afraid. I don’t know what I might do at night out of fear.”

“…I truly am sorry about that.”

“Jack, what you said earlier still stands, right? That you’ll definitely do it after the Empire business is over?”

“You know, if that really happens, I think we’re in big trouble.”

I believe everything these three say is right. They gave me their hearts first, protected Ira so I could move freely, and even helped raise Ira’s level. Despite me rejecting them several times, they’ve steadfastly offered their hearts. Their request to be prioritized a little can’t be wrong. Anyone who says these girls are wrong is the one who’s mistaken. That’s why I’ve quietly entered submission mode. However…

“Jack. I’ll be honest with you. So please answer honestly too, okay?”

“Yes. Anything.”

“Tell me straight. Are you going to seduce the mayor of Aigram too? Are you going to make her your woman?”

“No!”

“Then you won’t be going to Aigram anymore, right? Do you swear you’ll never go there?”

“Yes. I swear I won’t go there unless it’s for something truly, truly special.”

“””Don’t go even if it’s special!!”””

“Yes, sir!!”

What these women fear is that Luxuria’s appearance is too similar to Aigram’s mayor, Avalitia. The fact that I seduced Luxuria means I obviously found her appearance attractive too. They probably think I would naturally be attracted to Avalitia, who transformed into that original form. But, this isn’t an excuse. I know her original form. It wasn’t ugly or anything, but I was never attracted to that form, okay? I’m telling the truth. Please believe me!!

“…Sigh. So what’s left is…”

“Miho, and her sister, as I mentioned.”

“Miho, well… I can guess how that happened. But how on earth did you seduce both sisters? Is that allowed with beastfolk?”

“…Well, they said it’s okay with beastfolk.”

“Then I guess we can’t go to Siltra either from now on.”

“Speaking of Siltra, don’t elves live there?”

“I heard all elves are beautiful. And even Green Doll was handsome. Wait a minute, Jack, don’t tell me…”

“No!! I’ve had nothing but terrible experiences with those bastards! You don’t need to worry about that…!!”

And don’t tell me not to go to Siltra!! I have a friend there?! He became crippled in both arms and legs while looking after us!! I really want to heal him?! Can’t I at least…!!

“Friend?”

“Female?”

“Master, don’t tell me.”

“No!! It’s a man!! A sturdy male elf! His name is Salt Non! He’s the guard we met at the gate when we first arrived!!”

“””…Don’t tell me you’re after men too.”””

“I’m not!!!”

Women’s anger is frightening, and their imagination is even more terrifying. After somehow suppressing the three women’s wild assumptions that I might be gay, I continued my apology with as much sincerity as I could muster.

“Sigh, we can’t keep cornering you in front of your sister-in-law.”

“Yeah, I’ll forgive you because you prioritized me over Ira out of concern for danger, and because I believe what you said about stripping me naked in front of His Majesty.”

“…What should I forgive you with, Master?”

“Well, um, Gorde, you’re my most trusted status window golem, so you’re in the position of protecting my little sister…”

“Very well. I’ll believe that trust becomes affection, and affection becomes love.”

“Jack?!! This middle-aged virgin keeps trying to cast contract magic on me!! Get this woman off me!!!”

“Master! I told you not to do that!!”

“…Excuse me.”

“””…Sigh, go ahead.”””

“Thank you very much!”

With Luxuria’s screams and Ira trying to stop her unstoppable master, I was finally released and able to move.

Ah, I’m definitely not going to increase the number of women, absolutely not.

Watching Jack’s retreating back, the three women let out a deep sigh. In truth, none of them were particularly angry. They had known from the beginning that Jack was someone who responded to all the goodwill sent his way, and he didn’t hide anything, properly reporting everything to them. Moreover, even though he could easily win any fight against them if they annoyed him, he always bowed his head and apologized to them. So they weren’t really angry, but…

“…This is serious. That figure is really serious. My brain momentarily froze.”

“Indeed. I thought Ragni’s chest was the only issue, but to think a chest that rivals Ragni’s would appear.”

“Can’t something be done about those shameless clothes? They look more provocative than what we wore on that day we picked.”

The problem is the appearance of the demon who showed up. Except for her skin color, eye whites, and the horns on her head, she has a better figure and exudes more sensuality than themselves. It’s only natural for them to feel insecure when such a woman appears. And on top of that…

“She said there’s a fox beastfolk.”

“…Miho did have an amazing figure.”

“Her face was pretty decent too. Being the sister of that younger one, she must be beautiful as well.”

There’s still one more. The real problem is that Jack’s level of picking up women is too high. If they were much prettier, more beautiful, had overwhelmingly better figures, and weren’t inferior in combat ability, they wouldn’t have to feel this insecure. This is truly a situation where those who have been by his side from the beginning might become secondary wives.

“We need to take drastic measures.”

“Drastic measures? What can we do?”

“…Should we just pounce on him? There’s no other way.”

Although they had shared quite intimate skinship with Jack every night since he returned to them, they had never crossed the final line. He always put up a wall, saying that if they became pregnant, it would be difficult to protect them in this chaotic world. And that’s not wrong.

In reality, being pregnant for 10 months and unable to move properly, it’s hard to imagine they could safely face demons or the Church as they do now.

“…I can control when I get pregnant. I could just do it.”

“You know how the two of us would react if you cut in line, right?”

“If you put it that way, we could also just finish outside…”

Watching Jack push away the Dean’s face to protect Luxuria, then embrace Ira and sit down, the women wonder. Really, how can they conquer that sister complex?

“…At the very least, we need to progress beyond kissing before all the other female cats gather.”

“Wait, beyond kissing is just sex. What else is there?”

“Even if we could just receive some caressing of our precious parts from Master, I think that would put us considerably ahead.”

“”…Shall we go with that?””

“Caressing. Is it?”

At Gorde’s casual suggestion, Ragni’s red eyes and Rey’s blue eyes light up. Seeing this, Gorde thinks she might have made a mistake.

‘…Master, this might really be a crisis? Or maybe it’s karma?’

“…How do we decide the order?”

“…Rock-paper-scissors?”

“Ragni, that’s unfair. Now that your stats are higher, you want to decide by rock-paper-scissors?”

“You two used to be stronger than me!!”

Her objection is certainly appropriate, but being merely appropriate means it can be easily ignored, so Gorde and Rey disregarded it. According to Jack, Ragni’s stats have already surpassed his, so playing rock-paper-scissors with her would guarantee defeat. And finally…

“…Let’s just all go together.”

“That seems right.”

“Jack has two hands, so one of us will be left out.”

‘No. Men have three hands.’

‘There is one more in the groin area.’

‘If two people get chosen for his hands first, I’ll surprise attack his lower body…’

Rey, age 22; Ragni, age 21; Gorde, physical age 20(?). In the Eight Continent where it’s normal to start a family and have children at 15, these women have shown incredible patience until now. And…

“””Once this matter is resolved…”””

Faced with the crisis of their man adding more women, their patience finally shattered. The day the barrier covering the Imperial capital is lifted—they pledged to take action that day, bumping their fists together in a solemn pact.
