Ch.384Uninterruptible NPC. (5)

“Jack, here’s the information on Aigram that I gathered from the merchant guilds and the Academy in the city. It might not be much different from what you got from the guild, but I hope it helps you on your journey.”

Early morning, when even the dew on the leaves hadn’t dried yet. At a time when only Gor and I were awake, I was surprised to see Ragni who had returned home, and she looked at me as if wondering why I was so shocked as she handed me a stack of papers. Wait, it’s dawn right now? You, you! How are you even awake when you’re usually the last one to get up…?!

“Ah. I just haven’t slept yet. After shopping yesterday, I went to the Academy to chat with the vice principal and Luxuria, sorted through strange and useful information, checked the Academy’s class schedule and the current status of imperial students, and finally finished some work related to the Ponia king and the Empire. By then, it was already this time? Well, I’m getting sleepy too, so I’m planning to see off Jack and everyone else before going to bed.”

As I took the documents, Ragni stretched lightly while saying that, and then began to yawn with her cute mouth open. Oh no, I was with Rey yesterday and didn’t even stop by the guild, let alone gather information, and I ended up relying completely on Ragni…

“…Hmm. So you did it with Rey? Sex.”

“Eh…? H-how did you know that?”

“Yawn~ I can tell by the look in your eyes. You’re thinking, ‘I didn’t do anything and just enjoyed myself, but I feel bad for leaving everything to Ragni. Should I give her some kind of compensation?’ Isn’t that right?”

“…Please don’t read my mind like that.”

“It’s because I’m sleepy, I can’t help but read it? Besides…”

-Chu♡

Rubbing her eyes as she approached, Ragni stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips against mine, then smiled as if it was nothing and tilted her head.

“Since I went first, it’s only natural that Rey would be next, right? From the beginning, I ‘guided’ things that way yesterday. You noticed that much, didn’t you?”

“…Y-yes…!”

I had roughly guessed that Ragni had pushed the situation along, but when she said it so directly, it was just too much!!

As I bowed my head without being able to make any excuses, Ragni raised one hand to caress my cheek and continued speaking.

“You did well. That’s my husband, right? I was hoping Rey would be next after me, and Rey also wanted me to be loved first. We get along quite well, don’t we? We could have children together and raise them together. Wouldn’t that be nice, don’t you think?”

“…I… guess so?”

“That’s right. So don’t feel sorry for me. Well, if you want to make it up to me, come back later and embrace both Rey and me on the same day. Neither Rey nor I can handle you alone.”

Looking at Ragni who was smiling mischievously while saying “Rey fainted yesterday too, right?”, I truly couldn’t say anything. Ugh, a threesome? Is that right? I’m not mentally prepared…!!

“Prepare yourself mentally while you’re away! Also, I talked with Luxuria. Miho and Chikuyo? Those female beastkin can be called anytime, right?”

“Stop reading my mind…! Oh, yes. I did make a contract with Luxuria, so using their mana to summon them here is possible, but…? Wait, what about Luxuria?”

“Ah.”

Ragni explained that she had been sleeping at the Academy and left her behind, then lightly knocked her own head and sat down in a chair. Well, Luxuria can come if called, so it’s fine if she’s not here. But why bring up Miho and Chikuyo?

“According to the Ponia king, they arrived at the Helgot territory yesterday when we left. From what I heard, those Ponian military and civil officials Jack was receiving reports about? Those two were with them. If you hadn’t embraced Rey yesterday, I would have earnestly asked Luxuria not to summon them yet.”

Now that things have turned out this way, it’s fine to call them, she said, and then yawned again with tears in her eyes, clearly sleepy, before laying her head on the table with her hands on her chest and starting to blink. Wow, how does that even…

“Jack. I don’t mind if you embrace those three too. But speaking purely from personal jealousy, selfishness, and greed… I’d prefer if you didn’t embrace those three yet…”

“Oh, um? Sure. If that’s what Ragni wants, I’ll do that.”

“The reason is… Huh? You’re not going to ask for the reason?”

What other reason would I need? You’ve already said it’s personal jealousy, selfishness, and greed, right? I’ve only just embraced the feelings of you who have been with me for so long, and if I suddenly embrace those three who just appeared, the time your hearts have been directed toward me would go unrewarded. That would be my karma, not your fault. If I were to answer like that…

“…Ah, Jack. Can you leave tomorrow instead? I want to do it again today. Just hold Rey and me once more each before you go~”

“Why did the conversation turn in that direction…?”

“When Jack said he’d keep away from that beautiful demon and beastkin sisters for a while for Rey’s and my sake, my stomach started fluttering. Isn’t it Jack’s fault for saying such things?”

“This is karma too…!!”

But unfortunately, that’s impossible! Because…!!

“Ragni, stop being in heat so early in the morning. I’m here, and Lady Ira will be waking up soon. Don’t you feel sorry for Lady Ira who might hear your moans? Besides, you know what problems could arise if we don’t leave today.”

At Gor’s words as he came down the stairs, Ragni said, “Ah, that’s right,” and looked at Gor with half-lidded eyes. Yes, the reasons are everything Gor just said!

“Hello, Gor. You… Yes, you’re not there yet.”

“…Are you picking a fight? Looking for trouble?”

“Not at all? If you need, I could tell you all about the first night as advance information? From the ferocity of Jack Jr. to how virile Jack is and what positions he likes. I can tell you everything without missing a single detail. If necessary, I could even specifically tell you how many times I fainted in which positions…”

“I’m sorry, so please stop…! If Ira wakes up and hears this, I really won’t be able to live…!!”

“That’s right. I’ll definitely get that information later. Right now, Lady Ira is rubbing her eyes and looking around, shaking her head because her master isn’t by her side. Well then.”

“I’ll go wash Lady Ira,” he said as he went back up the stairs, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Haah, I really thought I was going to die. It’s all my karma, but this is really…

“Hehe. Jack, next time when Ira returns to the Academy and we have some free time♡”

“…Have mercy.”

After sincerely asking for mercy from Ragni, who had laid her face and chest on the table and was slowly closing her eyes, I finished breakfast with Rey, Ira, and the others who had come down.

*

“Hwaaaaawn~ Everyone have a safe trip, and Ira, be especially careful~ Oh, right. Ira.”

“Yes?”

“Here’s the second-year advancement exam~ Work on it when you have time. All your friends have become second-years, and you wouldn’t want to be held back in first year, right?”

“Ah! Yes!! Thank you, big sis~!”

-Hug!!

Ragni, who had fallen asleep briefly and woken up when we were ready to leave, handed over some exam papers to Gor that she had prepared from who knows when, telling him to keep them safe. When Ira hugged her gratefully, she continued with a more relaxed face than usual, smiling broadly.

“Ehehe~ As for the practical exam. I’ll evaluate it later as the acting headmaster. So keep that in mind~ Well then, Jack. See you when you get back~”

-Chu♡

After sharing a light kiss with Ragni who had hugged Ira and then turned her lips toward me, I gently stroked her hair. Ah, it suddenly makes me sad that I have to leave behind this fragrant, cute, and charming woman.

“When I come back, we’ll really have a peaceful daily life. Ragni, hang in there at Neity until then!”

“I’m glad you’re here. Truly, I think you’re the pillar of the group that has a different direction from the master. Please stay healthy at the Academy.”

“…Somehow these sound like farewells from people who don’t think I’ll be coming back. Why are you making me anxious?”

When Rey and Gor offered somewhat solemn parting words, Ragni started worrying if she was being abandoned. Don’t worry. I’m different from certain trash who says “I’ll come back for you!” and then leaves.

“Ragni. I’ll be back. Don’t look at other men, okay?”

I smiled as I said this, leaving out the follow-up “because I’ll kill that man if you do.”

“Jack, please stop seducing women? If you add any more, I’ll really get anxious and want to have 20 children.”

She replied with sincere concern. Haha, yes. I absolutely won’t add any more.

I laughed nervously, having been hit back 100 times harder for my unnecessary comment, and Ira looked at me with questioning purple eyes. Wait, what does that look mean…?!

“Big brother, did I get a little sibling?”

“Uh, what?!”

“Ahahaha!! That’s right, something like a sibling, right?”

No, it would be a niece or nephew?!

When Ragni burst out laughing and answered, Ira started blinking with eyes full of curiosity, saying, “A sibling. I’m getting a sibling…?” No! Ira!! Getting nieces and nephews is something for later?!! Your brother doesn’t have such plans yet!!!

“…Big brother! I want one boy and one girl sibling!!”

“Pfft!!”

“I-I see~?”

“But how are siblings made?”

“Uh, umm? Uhhh….?”

Suddenly it’s sex education time?!! I couldn’t say anything and looked around desperately for help, but everyone except Gor was trying to hold back their laughter, covering their mouths and tilting their heads back, so I could only look at Gor. Gor! Help! Help!! Help!!!

“…Haah, Lady Ira.”

“Yes?”

“Your sibling is created when the master sleeps at night holding hands with someone he loves.”

“…Eh? Then, does big brother not love me…?”

“What?!”

That’s not it?! Of course I love Ira the most?! Looking at my little sister who naturally started giving me a sad look as if wondering why she didn’t have a sibling yet when she loved me, I gritted my teeth. No!! We can’t do that in the entryway!!! Gor!! Help!! Heelp!!! This situation is really…!!!

“…Lady Ira is the master’s sister, so siblings aren’t being made.”

“Eh? Why?!”

“Isn’t it strange to make a sibling with a sibling?”

“…Ah! That’s right? Then…”

Forgetting about how siblings are made and seeming to understand something on her own, Ira suddenly pulled Ragni’s and Rey’s hands and made them hold my hands. Uh, huh? Why…?

“Ragni sis and Rey sis can each make one sibling for me!! You both like my brother!”

“””Pfft?!!”””

In the end, everyone except Gor and Ira burst out laughing.
