As A Result of Trying To Live An Erotic Slow-Life, I Have Become The Underground Ruler of This Upside-Down Otherworld - Chapter 6: There's a Suspicion that the Loli Dwarf is a Mesugaki

Chapter 6: There’s a Suspicion that the Loli Dwarf is a Mesugaki

(T/N: A brat basically.)

I’ve been thinking that my sex is dangerous lately. What’s with the Master thing though?

Despite thinking that I didn’t want a maid, I saw Towa’s appearance and realized that I had made a mistake. I regret it, but I intend to take responsibility.

Regardless of what boosted my motivation, since we renewed the contract, Towa has been working energetically. From buying cooking utensils to revive the Ronyan restaurant to repairing and renovating the building, Towa finished everything in no time.

As for me, I just said something like, “I think this would be nice.”

With just that, Towa perfectly understood my intentions and created the environment I had envisioned.

She was excellent, very much so.

I wonder if it would be okay to leave everything to Towa alone. My freeloader mindset is rising again to that level.

In fact, after she finished everything, she had the expression of someone who thought it was only natural.

It was completely unexpected, but when I thanked her after the work was done, she…

“Those words are wasted on me!”

Her eyes were moist, really, why?

In addition, she didn’t ask for sex as a reward.

Although it was one of the terms of the contract, I thought she could just say it without worrying, but I guess she’s still shy. I don’t intend to say anything grandiose like consciousness reform, but I want to do something about it because my conscience is dying.

But well, it was just a matter of me being considerate.

Fortunately, Towa was easy to understand when she wanted me to do something like that.

The trigger for my realization was when we went shopping together for the first time.

While talking about various things and going around the stores, suddenly, my crotch felt ticklish.

And when I looked at that sensation, Towa’s tail was there.

I thought it was bold to do that in public, but when I looked at Towa, she had a normal face, probably doing it unconsciously.

Since it was sudden in the middle of our shopping, I couldn’t understand that it was a sign of a sexual invitation, but it often happened that her tail was wrapped around my body almost daily.

For example, when we were discussing the dishes we would serve at the store together, or when we were choosing furniture for the living space.

Of course, I didn’t ask her directly what was going on.

I just went close to her to check, and touched her cheek, and sure enough, there was desire in her eyes.

After I made her release that desire properly, for a while, her tail stopped wrapping around me.

I understood that Towa’s tail showed her feelings.

I want her to tell me herself someday, but until then, I decided to not miss this sign.

It’s nothing special.

This is the first time I’ve lived with a beautiful woman like this.

To say more, even the feeling of modesty is new to me.

“I have to protect her.”

In this world where monsters can do whatever they want, I have to protect this precious life, where I can spend my days comfortably.

“Is this enough?”

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work, Master.”

The preparations for the opening are progressing steadily.

Now, I’ve finished writing the request letter to submit to the Adventurer’s Guild. Taxes and such will be considered after the opening, when we actually start making a profit, so I don’t have to think about them yet.

To have the request letter displayed at the Adventurer’s Guild for a year, it costs ten silver coins, or one gold coin.

Considering that the average monthly income of people in this world is one to three silver coins, it’s quite a large amount.

There is also a backdoor route to get favors from guild staff, but I won’t do that, as the means are obvious.

“Is there anything else we need to prepare?”

“Well, I think we need to find a magician as a dedicated staff member.”

Hmm.

The master also regularly hired magicians, but they weren’t dedicated.

In this world, there is no gas or electricity. Instead, there are magic stones.

We use magic stones to heat ingredients, and a light bulb refers to a magic stone that has the property of emitting light.

I don’t know the exact principle, but it’s said that the magic stone absorbs the magic power floating in the air and converts it into a heat source or something like that.

The magic stone is not a perpetual motion machine, just like an air conditioner requires regular maintenance and repairs, the magic stone also needs it.

“But…”

It’s not just that.

Magic stones are convenient items, but they also produce something called waste magic, which is created by converting the absorbed magic power.

Moreover, magic stones that are not well maintained emit more waste magic.

Races with antibodies are not affected by waste magic, but because of waste magic, livestock and agriculture have some complicated circumstances.

Plants that absorb waste magic become monsters, and if wild animals eat plants that have absorbed waste magic, they also become monsters.

There are some foods that are produced without touching waste magic, but they are basically offered to royalty and some nobles as natural products.

That’s why adventurers hunt down plants and animals that have become monsters, and sell them to grocery stores, creating a cycle.

Many grocery stores contract with adventurers who specialize in collecting ingredients, and they sell the ingredients that are brought to the store after removing the waste magic. The food situation in this world is quite troublesome and roundabout.

“I can do simple adjustments like the magic stones used in the kitchen, but I’m sorry, the adjustments for the magic stones used underground are a bit beyond my abilities. I think it would be more reassuring to have a contract with a specialist.”

Yes, a magician is someone who performs maintenance on magic stones.

It is a profession that can never go hungry in this world, and it is also the only profession that is not judged by appearance because it is needed in every part of the world.

“Hmm…”

It’s difficult to have a dedicated contract, even though it would be reassuring.

Despite being a necessary profession, there are not many beings who have the talent to understand magic stones, and therefore magic power.

Because they are rare, royalty and nobility try to keep them by all means, and of course, one of those means of keeping them exclusive is to give them a man.

In other words, it’s highly likely that they would already have what they want, even if it’s not me.

If I were to present an employment condition like which one to choose based on the pleasure index given, I think it would be possible to recruit them. In fact, Towa was also swayed by my sex.

But I’m not keen on twisting the lives of those who are probably already satisfied.

“I understand that it would be reassuring. It would be more secretive as the Ronyan flag-bearer if we could sign a dedicated contract, but I doubt anyone would agree to a dedicated contract with just a restaurant.”

“You’re right. But I have someone in mind.”

Someone in mind?

“How convenient. Is that person also a friend of the master or something?”

“A friend… yes, that’s right. But she’s the kind of person who can say no even if Eldo-sama tells her to cooperate with you. A real weird one.”

Just because she can say no, she’s considered a weirdo?

“Even I can only invite her to meet you, at most. I fully understand that a dedicated contract is difficult, so I’ll try it anyway. Would you mind meeting her once?”

“That would be very pleasing. Is she okay with it? Magicians are busy, aren’t they?”

“Yes, that’s not a problem. She… well, she’s very picky about her work, so I think she can make time.”

Hmm? I don’t quite understand, but it’s a chance.

As for me, I think it’s fine to have an outsourced magician, and if Towa says it’s okay to try, I’ll try it. If she agrees, it will be great.

“I understand. Then, please introduce her to me.”

“Thank you. I’ll contact her right away.”

Towa’s face looked relieved.

Well, there’s also the aspect of saving face. I’ll be careful not to be rude.

…I was thinking that, but…

“Oh, are you the one named Arius, Onii-san?” (T/N: Just how little girls refer to men above their age.)

“Yes. And you must be Mia-san, right?”

What is this tiny thing?

“Face, 60 points. Magic power, 5 points. Wealth… well, you know. I know the magic stones in the Ronyan… hmph, Eldo has become senile, hasn’t she? Calling this her son, what an idiot.”

“Mia!”

“Oh, shut up, Towa, be quiet for a minute. The only thing left is… hey, Onii-san.”

“What is it?”

The blonde twin-tailed flat-chested loli, who didn’t even touch the drink I prepared, immediately started evaluating me.

Is she a typical tsundere? Though if she wasn’t, then that would have surely irked me.

“You look like a human, are you a pureblood?”

“I have half-breed blood. I’m a half-orc.”

“Oh?”

Finally, her gaze, which had been roaming all over my body, stopped at my crotch.

Well, I understand that she would be curious about that part if she heard I was half-orc, but she’s quite straightforward.

“All right, I’ll consider a dedicated contract if you become Mia’s toy.”

“Toy?”

“Half-orc men are rare, you know. I don’t expect much, but if you can satisfy Mia with that tiny penis of yours…”

“Mia!”

“Oh, shut up, Towa, you’re only shouting Mia’s name. I already told you, I have no obligation or courtesy to serve someone like him, even if it’s from Eldo.”

“Even so…! Acting so rudely to my master—!”

How did this happen?

Everyone’s brain and lower body are too close together.

I even think it would be better to refuse her, but there’s one thing that interests me.

“Mia-san.”

“What? Are you willing to show me your ahegao face now?” (T/N: basically expression of blissful pleasure, you know that already…)

“You’re a magician, right? To be honest, you should be able to choose from a wide range of men. Don’t you think you’re already living a satisfying life without having to make me your toy?”

She is probably, genuinely, one of the ugly women in this world. One of the women who would have trouble with men if she weren’t a magician. In other words, she’s a super beauty in my eyes.

“Yes? I’m not struggling at all. With money, men, of course.”

“I see? I think there’s nothing I can offer you as a condition that would satisfy you.”

She should be in a position to build an environment that she can be satisfied with.

Even if she met me out of some obligation to Towa, it doesn’t become a reason for her to consider a dedicated contract with me.

“Hmm, you’re not a complete idiot like a tourist. All right, I’ll tell you.”

She smiled, a smile that suited her appearance, and turned around in place.

“I came here to look for a collection. I came here to find the ultimate loser, who would be forced to dedicate his body to ugly Mia, wielding his power.”

“Hmm hmm.”

“A pathetic man who is pinned down by Mia, his hideous face and body devoured. No matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs for forgiveness, I won’t stop, I can’t stop. I want the best toy that can make me feel good. The toys I have now are no longer interesting.”

It’s refreshing, but I can’t say her hobby is good.

A being that should be oppressed is fascinated by oppression.

It’s like a bullied child aspiring to be a bully. No, she’s actually taken that position and is enjoying it to the fullest.

Towa, too, is lowering her face and shaking her head, but I can understand her feelings, maybe she’s imagined such a dream herself.

Mia has indeed realized that dream by obtaining the power of a magician.

“It’s only natural to take care of my toys. So, as long as you can be Mia’s toy, I’ll become the dedicated magician of this store. How does that sound? I don’t think it’s a bad proposal!”

“Yeah, it’s not a bad proposal.”

“Huh?”

She looked confused, but it’s really not a bad deal.

No, the content of what she’s saying is quite outrageous, but I feel really good about it, because I’ve finally met a strong woman I can respect.

Mia is not submitting at all.

In a world that is so particular about beauty and ugliness, she’s trying to do whatever she wants by crushing the common sense of this world with her power.

It’s wonderful, I feel an emotion similar to admiration towards her.

“Okay, I’ll take it. Please try me out.”

“Hmph. You seem to have a little confidence, eh? I’m looking forward to seeing how far you can show that arrogance! I was thinking of giving you a little leeway because you’re connected to Eldo and Towa, but I won’t forgive you even if you apologize now!”

Yeah, yeah, I’m looking forward to it too.

Well, let’s enjoy ourselves.
