# Episode 2. These days, web novels special) warrior = crazy guy

A peaceful afternoon like any other.

While I was processing documents in my office, I heard a knock on the door.

-smart.

“Duke. This is Sebas.”

“Come in.”

-Squeak.

“Excuse me.”

An elderly man opens the door and comes in.

He is Sebas, the duke’s butler, who boasts a body so solid that his black butler uniform is tight.

Sebas, a middle-aged man with neatly slicked-back short white hair and a neat white beard, was an all-purpose butler who handled all affairs of the duke’s family and was the village head of a small village within the territory.

Nowadays, a large city has been built around the dukedom, and most of the people of the territory live here, but during the time of the previous lordship, it was difficult to find food, so a small number of people lived in groups in villages throughout the territory.

Sebas is the chief of one of those villages. He is quick-witted, talented, and, above all, has a deacon-like name, so I hired him.

Of course, the butler is Sebas.

When I heard the story, it was said that in the past, he was an outstanding talent who worked for the imperial family as a commoner, but he felt skeptical about class discrimination and the disgusting behavior of the nobles and was living in seclusion in the north.

When I came here, he asked me to make him his vassal because I was somewhat different from the nobles he had seen so far. I accepted this without much hesitation, and now I have become an indispensable figure in the territory.

“This is the document related to this month’s military expenses submitted by the Knights Templar. There are no major problems in other areas, but in the case of food, payment may be a burden due to the opening of the warehouse last month.”

“Oh, I can pay for that part at my own expense, so don’t worry about it. Now that the festival is nearing its end in the capital, there won’t be much difficulty in supplying food. I don’t know anything else, but you shouldn’t be in a hurry when it comes to feeding your kids.”

“But… .”

“Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay. I said I would spend my own money, but what? Please speak kindly to the knights. Don’t eat less just because you worry about your wallet. If those who are supposed to protect the territory are starving, will they use their strength properly?”

“… … All right. The next item on the agenda is-”

While I was processing documents related to the management of the territory with Sebas, someone burst open the office door and came in.

“W… … My lord! This is urgent news!”

what? Our Knights may be a bit harsh due to working in the harsh North, but they adhere to rituals and superior-subordinate relationships better than anyone else, so seeing as they came in without knocking, is this really urgent?

I was worried and was about to ask what was going on, but Sebas spoke first.

“This is definitely Sergeant Henry, who was scheduled to go on sentry duty this afternoon… … I understand that it is an urgent matter, but the discipline of the soldiers these days is so bad that they don’t even knock when they see the lord.”

When I glanced to the side as my voice calmed down, I saw that Sebas had opened his eyes and was glaring at a soldier named Henry rather frighteningly.

You might say that opening his eyes is a big deal, but Sebas always walks around with narrowed eyes and a gentle smile.

When a smiling, narrow-eyed person opens his eyes and makes a scary expression, it means that he will unleash his hidden power and the opponent will die.

Look at Soldier Henry over there. My face turns pale and I feel like I’m going to collapse at any moment.

But Sebas, do you memorize the soldiers’ working hours and names? That’s kind of creepy… … .

“Don’t criticize me too much, Sebas. The content may be dangerous for the territory. Rather, we should praise the soldier’s passion for delivering the news quickly.”

“… … I understand.”

As I spoke, Sebas’ eyes narrowed again and the suffocating pressure eased.

Wow, I saved your life. Isn’t it a national rule that anyone who sees a squinted person’s eyes open dies?

“So what’s going on, Henry?”

“Ah, yes, yes! Duke!”

After stuttering for a moment, he straightened his helmet, which had become disheveled due to his hasty run, and bowed politely as he spoke.

“Notice! Currently, a group of people presumed to be a warrior party have visited the main gate! It is difficult to confirm the details since they are wearing robes, but considering that they possess a holy sword and an imperial seal, it is judged that there is a high possibility that they are an actual warrior party!”

“!!”

“!!”

what? Who came?

Warrior?

No, why is my younger brother there?

* * *

After quickly completing the remaining work, I went down to the reception room, where four people, frozen in an unfamiliar environment, hurriedly stood up and greeted me.

“Meet Duke Laviter, the noble soul who protects the North!”

“Ah, meet the Duke!”

“… … See you.”

“See you… … ”

The warrior and the saint greeted according to the imperial greeting, but the wizard and elf, perhaps out of pride, slurred their words and did not greet each other.

It seems to be true that wizards belonging to the Magic Tower and elves who protect the World Tree are often cruel because they have strong pride in their race.

For your information, Raviterre is the name of my territory.

He received a new title and was given a surname. When I asked the emperor what he meant, he said he gave it to him because he thought it would be cool. Is he crazy… … Well, it doesn’t matter because it’s cool.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Kane Laviterre, the owner of the Laviterre Territory. Since I spent half my life on the battlefield and don’t care about things like etiquette, I feel comfortable dealing with everyone.”

The warrior party looked at each other as if it sounded strange for the Duke of the Empire to tell them not to worry about etiquette.

But it’s true. Perhaps because of the memories of my past life, I feel somewhat uncomfortable with the uncomfortable and long-winded etiquette of the nobles. A person should live comfortably physically and comfortably, but if you worry about this and that and talk back and forth, you will end up stressed and only end up shortening your lifespan.

“Let’s say goodbye and move on to the main topic.”

When I hardened my expression and spoke again, the warrior party started to get nervous again.

“It must not be normal for him to show up suddenly like this without prior arrangement. As the Duke of La Viterre and protector of the empire, I have a duty to protect my people. If the issue you brought threatens the well-being of our territory residents, we cannot just wait and see.”

“… … .”

“Say. Why did the warrior party come to visit me?”

The party members all looked at the hero and bowed their heads for a moment, but then the hero, who was looking at me with a solemn expression as if he had made a resolution, opened his mouth and-

“Brother, have sex with my party members!”

-puck!

The warrior’s world turned off for a moment.

* * *

That’s amazing.

It seems like warriors these days have the ability to poop with their mouths.

In a TV program I watched in my past life, I heard that jellyfish eat and squirt with their mouths, and my brother’s cells seem to have about half of the jellyfish genes mixed in.

The hero, no, the younger brother, who fainted for a moment after receiving the heavenly punishment, woke up again and shouted again.

“Brother, have sex with my party members!”

“I can hear everything, so don’t say it twice, you crazy person!”

It’s bullshit to say that they secretly come to my mansion and bite the employees.

And the fact that the person uttering those words is a former warrior and my own younger brother is enough to make me cringe.

“First of all… … A long time. Ronan.”

“Uh… … It’s been a while, Kane.”

I can’t say that our relationship as brothers is particularly good, but it’s not bad either.

Because I knew the future, I didn’t have any feelings for my family, but Ronan was a nice guy who thought it was his fault that I was indifferent to my family.

The fact that I was kidnapped by demons was something that was bound to happen someday, and since it happened arbitrarily, it wasn’t something he should care about. Even if the demons didn’t kidnap me, I was planning to go find them on my own.

Glitney’s power is so attractive that it is worth it.

Anyway, I knew that Ronan was destined to become a hero, so I didn’t have any feelings of jealousy or anger. On the contrary, when he went to war against demons as a hero, I even helped him by secretly providing him with money and combat personnel.

There was also a reason that my leisurely life would be longer if Ronan quickly defeated the Demon King.

I expected that I would feel grateful even if it was just a short thank you, but… … .

“Hehe… … .”

He suddenly came to me and gave me big taffy as a gift.

This guy is really proud of you.

However, it’s a bit disappointing that you didn’t explode violently with the Demon King, little brother.

“First of all, congratulations on defeating the devil. It must have been hard and difficult, but you worked hard.”

“Huh? uh… … Thank you.”

“Then I think that’s enough of greetings and thanks… Now let’s get to the point. Why are you suddenly coming to me and saying such bullshit, little brother?”

“…that.”

Ronan hesitated and avoided my gaze, and I turned my gaze to his side.

“Seira, Fine, Lily… … You said that, right? Nice to meet you. Let me introduce you once again: I am Kane Lavitar, Ronan’s older brother and the current lord of Lavitar.”

“Bar… Nice to meet you.”

“Hello.”

“…… Heung!”

Seira is a shy saint, Fine is an expressionless elf archer, and Lily is a wizard with cat-like sharp eyes.

They are all Ronan’s party members and members of his harem.

These women have different appearances and personalities, but have one thing in common: dazzling beauty, as described in the novel.

I felt once again that this was a world in a novel as I saw the faces of beautiful women who quietly awakened my dying sexual desire as I was so busy running the estate that I had no time to date or embrace women.

“I’m sorry, bro. But it’s something I can’t ask for unless it’s my brother.”

“I guess so. Who would ask my brother, whom I haven’t seen in over a decade, to hug his girl? Right?”

“… … Sorry.”

“Ha… … First, explain the situation in detail. If it’s a ridiculous reason, I’m prepared to be beaten like a dog.”

“Ugh… … huh… … .”

Ronan, who blushed and lowered his head as if embarrassed, began to explain in a low voice.

“ As you know, a warrior is something that all nations covet. It has a religious meaning of being chosen by a goddess, and it can also be used to show off one’s might.”

“Now that we have captured the Demon King, its value cannot be overstated.”

“… … that’s right. That’s the biggest reason I came here.”

Ronan hesitated for a moment and continued his explanation.

“People say I defeated the devil, but that’s not true.”

“… … what? What is that-”

“To be precise, the demon king’s body and soul itself have disappeared, but there is a seed he left behind in the end.”

“Then you just have to crush the seeds. What on earth is the problem… … .”

“That seed… … It’s in a ‘bad place.’”

… … ?

What a bad place…

“In my testicles… … There is a seed of the devil… … .”

… … yes?

The hero… … Are you a eunuch?
