Ch.381Marianne is Depressed (2)

==========

<Option 1: Let’s ask why she’s acting like this. (Linked event proceeds)><Selected>

So I chose option 1, and I wonder if there’s some system guidance at work.

Marian, who had been walking some distance away with a rather blank expression, just trudging along…

Somehow naturally approached me, so I immediately waved at her, wanting to find out what was going on.

But approaching with such thoughts in mind…

Unlike my fresh expectations, Marian’s problem turned out to be much more complicated than I thought.

<Event>

<Marian is Even More Depressed.>

<Content>

<Seeing Marian looking extremely depressed, instead of keeping silent for privacy’s sake,>

<You, with your responsibility as Commander, casually asked a question…>

<Unlike your assumption that it was ‘that time of the month,’ the reason for Pirate Empress Marian’s depression was:>

<Having lived with you for nearly 2 years now, she wanted to commemorate this occasion.>

<Unfortunately, due to the circumstances, that anniversary completely fell through.>

<However, it seems there are several other reasons as well…>

<Sadly, you cannot learn more about those other reasons, as Marian herself refuses to reveal them.>

<‘Pirate Empress Marian’ has been given the ‘Depression’ trait (-5% to all abilities)>

—————————————–

‘Arrrgh!’

A brutally unfair debuff is applied, and the reason is because some kind of ‘anniversary’ was wasted?

Seeing this unfair treatment start again, I felt an indescribably strange irritation bubbling up inside me.

But separate from that, it wasn’t like I couldn’t understand Marian’s feelings.

I decided to call her separately later to talk, wanting to give some comforting pats to Marian who was depressed about missing our anniversary.

==========

And after Icarus resolved to give Marian those comforting “pats”…

At that very moment, while he was deleting the pile of trash posts and gore images that had accumulated in that short time, suffering visual terrorism…

“Bogdano—I mean, Marian, the Commander has made up his mind.”

“Huh?”

“The time for the final battle has finally come.”

“Hmm, it’s time for the Commander to experience a woman.”

In the conference room where Marian, Jessica, and Bendalof—as well as all the superhumans except Oxianor, Griyanar, and Tiamat—had gathered, everyone was making concerted efforts to take advantage of the current opportunity.

Of course, the reason for their efforts was none other than offering virgin Marian’s chastity to Icarus, giving birth to non-virgin Marian…

No, it was to marry off Marian, who had been showing nothing but pure love moves for over two years.

“Of course, Marian should be the Commander’s first.”

“Urgh.”

“Absolutely right.”

“So that our Marian can satisfy the Commander, I’ve passed down all ‘101 Ways to Satisfy a Man’ that I know♡”

“When exactly did you pass that down?”

“Hehehe♡”

They were thoroughly preparing to ensure nothing would prevent their Commander from having a one-on-one meeting with Marian, making sure no other matters would arise.

They were showing all kinds of meddling to ensure Marian and Icarus would spend their first night togetherrrrr passionately.

Of course, there were reasons why they were all pushing for Marian like this.

“Work hard, Marian.”

“That way we can also sneak in with the Commander.”

“You’re being way too straightforward♡”

For the remaining superhumans—excluding Tiamat, Oxianor, and Bendalof, whose affection levels weren’t yet high enough for “romantic” feelings despite significant increases—

Their affection had reached +200, meaning they all wanted to do something deep, sticky, and intimate with Icarus.

Everyone had naturally agreed that “the Commander’s virginity(?) goes to Marian first, but everything else is fair game.”

They were enthusiastically encouraging Marian so they could also have their own fun with Icarus later.

And perhaps to prevent any issues that might arise when either Marian or Icarus actually tried to go through with it…

“Here, the aphrodisiac you wanted.”

“Ooh!”

“Isn’t it dangerous? The Commander’s physical abilities don’t seem that exceptional.”

“The Commander’s body is surprisingly excellent, so even drugs meant for superhumans should be fine.”

“Do drugs even work on the Commander?”

“At 3,000 times the sensitivity, it affects even the Commander’s body slightly, and this one has about 3,500 times the normal amount of aphrodisiac components.”

Professor Griyanar had brought a drug with “very dangerous-looking markings” to prevent the first night from fizzling out.

Of course, hearing the alarming numbers regarding the drug’s potency,

Not only Marian who was planning to use it, but the other superhumans as well, worried that Icarus might end up permanently damaged.

No matter how much they wanted to have fun with Icarus, they wanted to enjoy it in the current situation.

They couldn’t accept a scenario where Icarus suddenly lost his mind or became mentally impaired.

But to these concerns, our drug expert Professor Griyanar said:

“No need to worry, I’ve already tested it all on the Commander.”

“Ohhhhh.”

“Then we can entrust this to you with peace of mind!”

“You didn’t just test it once or twice, right?”

“What do you take me for? I conducted plenty of tests.”

Having conducted human experiments(?) on the Commander, she concluded there wouldn’t be any major issues.

With Griyanar’s confident attitude, the other superhumans as well as Marian, who had received the drug, showed relieved responses and trust.

Of course, that was just the reaction of superhumans who planned to use it themselves later.

“…I’m sure I thoroughly checked everywhere, but how did you find another gap?”

“Ah.”

Jessica, who basically stayed by Icarus’s side handling various miscellaneous tasks and preventing troublemakers like Griyanar from doing crazy things to the Commander, showed a completely different reaction.

*Crack, crack!*

As Jessica smiled while her blood vessels visibly bulged in front of Griyanar,

Griyanar realized she had unconsciously acted like a criminal turning herself in at a police station, and let out a sigh.

==========

And a little while later…

“Marian, go spend some quality time with the Commander.”

“Yes, I’ll do my best!”

While Griyanar was being restrained with her joints twisted all over her body,

Our Jessica tossed the drugs that Griyanar had been holding to Marian to encourage her.

Grateful for Jessica’s support, Marian quickly ran toward Icarus’s room.

She was wearing her “battle outfit” covered only by a coat to conceal it.

But just as Marian instantly dashed away into the distance, Griyanar rummaged through her pockets with her pet tentacles and…

“Wait, just a moment! You took the wrong drug!”

“Huh?”

She tried to call Marian back with an extremely urgent tone, but unfortunately, Marian had already disappeared into the distance and couldn’t possibly hear such words.

Seeing Griyanar react so dramatically, question marks appeared above the heads of Jessica and the other superhumans who had been disciplining her.

And shortly after…

“What do you mean she took the wrong drug, Griyanar?”

“The aphrodisiac for the Commander got mixed with a super virility drug. This will turn the Commander into a literal beast.”

“…Oh.”

“Oh…”

“Ohh…”

Learning that Icarus would become like a wild animal, resulting in messy, moist, and wild battle sex, or “wild sex” for short,

All the superhumans present decided to pray for Marian’s soul, as she would be losing her virginity in her first “wild sex” experience.
