As A Result of Trying To Live An Erotic Slow-Life, I Have Become The Underground Ruler of This Upside-Down Otherworld - Chapter 60: I Didn’t Dump Sperm, I Dumped My Doubts

Chapter 60: I Didn’t Dump Sperm, I Dumped My Doubts

Arius POV

Word came in that they’ve got a lead on Yuri’s hometown.

To confirm it, Shuri’s heading out with Kazune-san and the others, leaving Ronnyan for up to a week. It’s a bit lonely.

That said, it’s good news.

Yuri’s not fully recovered, but he’s doing a lot better, so the timing’s probably right.

“Hey, Yuri.”

“Yes, Onii-san! What’s up?”

Yuri, helping with dishes in the back, scurries over and stands at attention.

It’s like he looks up to me, like a little sidekick… no, that’s a dangerous thought, let’s drop it.

He’s too young to be a little brother, too grown to be a son.

At least he’s got positive feelings toward me, which is nice.

“How’s life here?”

“Yes! Everyone’s so kind, I’m super happy!”

Does he seem mature for eight, or is it just me?

Maybe that’s just how boys his age are supposed to be.

“Cool.”

“Yes!”

He’s grinning, genuinely happy, just like he said.

Towa’s words about not wanting her kid to live her life hit me hard.

The “ugly” stigma’s a big deal in this world, no doubt. Thinking about Towa and the others’ pasts stings.

But what really shook me was realizing the distortion isn’t just on the women’s side.

“Alright, Yuri, you hungry? I’m kinda free, so I’m thinking of whipping up something light.”

“Huh!? Really!? …Uh, I mean, is that okay?”

“No big deal, it’s my shop. Sneaking a little for two ain’t a problem.”

Yuri’s always checking adults’ moods.

It’s mild with me, but with Towa and the others, it’s more intense.

At first, he was scared of “ugly” women, sure.

Now that’s faded, what’s left is this instinct to watch women’s moods, to stay on guard.

“U-Uh, yeah. Th-Then, um…”

“What? Got a request?”

“Uh, u… I wanna eat a hamburger.”

Exactly.

Men, too, are scared, protecting themselves.

Adults can shrug it off, call it lucky when a beauty attacks.

But for a kid, it’s violence, sexual or not. I realized that.

“Got it. Been meaning to make one but never did… let’s do it.”

“Y-Yeah! Thank you!”

I grind some leftover meat for patties.

Snag a bit of bread from stock.

It’s simple, so prep’s quick.

Violence that locks away a kid’s innocence.

That’s the real shock I felt.

Yeah, no wonder they don’t want their kids to end up like this.

I’ve never had a kid, but even Yuri feels precious to me. If my own kid turned out like this, I don’t know what I’d do.

“Yuri.”

“Uh, ah, yes!”

On top of that, he was battered, lying in an alley where no one would see.

I’m not preaching righteous indignation or anything, but it doesn’t sit right.

“You can be more selfish, you know.”

“…Huh?”

Maybe it’s because I decided to try harder.

The cold part of my brain hits the brakes, but I can’t hold back this anger.

“When I was your age, I’d cry to mess with adults if I didn’t like something, get into trouble and hurt myself, get scolded… but when I went home, there was something warm. That’s the world I lived in.”

“…”

Not this world, but still.

I don’t feel it, not exactly, but Arius’s memories don’t say that.

“At least while you’re here, how about trying to live like that?”

That’s probably what it means.

A world where Towa, Mia, and Serika can make babies without holding back.

“I don’t… really get it. Sorry.”

“That’s a shame. Well, for now…”

The smell of grilling meat fills the air, and I plate some makeshift fries I threw together.

“I wanna eat a burger and some fries.”

“Huh?”

“Yeah, let’s try saying greedy stuff like that.”

I set the plate of hot fries in front of Yuri.

“Alright, burger’s good to go! Let’s eat, Yuri!”

“…Yeah!”

We eat our burgers together.

※

Kazune-san and the others moving out means, to put it bluntly, Yuri’s goodbye is near.

But obviously, it won’t go smoothly.

This isn’t as simple as taking a lost kid to the police station.

Protecting a battered kid, like I realized back then, is bound to be trouble.

Still.

I know it’s trouble, but I don’t understand the details.

I’m more than a bystander gawking at someone collapsed, but less than someone who calls an ambulance and leaves.

“Njuru♡ Ngo♡ Nbufu♡ Pwa… Aruji, Aruji-sama… ah, my Aruji… habu♡ Juzo♡.”

In the end, I’ve gotta face the parts I’ve been pretending not to see.

Making my shut-in world bigger means that. The more I touch the outside, the more I’ve gotta deal with.

“Oi…♡ Nre… chu♡ Chu♡ Churu…♡ Ah, so strong, so mighty…♡ God… God-cock-sama…♡.”

Honestly, it’s depressing.

No kidding, digging into why a kid had to end up like that isn’t fun.

“Ogo♡ Nnu♡ Sun, sun… aha…♡ Male♡ Scent♡ Amaz, aau♡ Amazing♡.”

It’s not a good feeling, but I can’t fix it without knowing. So when do I face it? Now.

Man… I really wasn’t the “save the world” type.

Guess I’m the “protect what’s mine” type after all.

“Ngyu!? A, a…♡ Aruji♡ Aruji-sama♡ Can you use me? Yes, yes♡ Use—nha♡.”

So, I figured I’d talk to the Snakes, who probably know this stuff.

They’ve been working hard lately, often showing up at the shop whining about low magic.

In other words, it’s time for me, the meal provider, to step up! Eat up, ladies!

“N♡ Ngu♡ A, a, a♡ W-Wonder, ful♡ Aruji-sama’s, pounding♡ Pounding wonderful♡ Ahi♡.”

I grab her toned waist—no extra fat, but a satisfying ass to slam into pan pan.

A quick glance around—four others are already down.

Oh, I came that many times already? Feeling pretty refreshed.

“Sonya-san.”

“!? Y-Yes! Yahi♡ Aruji-sama♡ Aruji-sama, what is it?♡ Should I tighten my pussy more? Will you bless me with lots of cum?♡.”

Whoops, took too long to snap out of it.

She’s completely in the zone.

“It’s plenty good. You feeling good, Sonya-san?”

“A, aha♡ Yes, yes! S-Since earlier, from when I got to suck you♡ I-I’ve been cumming nonstop♡ Cumming forever♡ Feels, good♡.”

Then we’re good.

Sonya-san and the Snakes squeeze like crazy.

I didn’t notice during that wild orgy, but now, having sex with them, it’s clear.

Mouth or pussy, they go at it with this fiery greed, like they’re trying to suck me dry.

“Then… fill up today. I’m gonna cum plenty.”

“Hiu—!”

Her spine goes piin—that arch is insane.

Pounding her from behind like this, that reaction’s a thrill.

I slide my hands from her waist to her shoulders and…

“A♡ A゛a゛a゛!?”

Boom, standing doggy complete. Love this position.

“Ua♡ Deep, so deep♡ Ogu♡ Ogu guri guri♡ Pan pan♡ Guri♡.”

“Gonna cum.”

“Yai♡ P-Please♡ D-Dump-pussy♡ Anytime♡ Cum trash bin♡ Aha♡ D-Do it♡ Aruji, Aruji-sama♡ A, a—.”

I shoot a hot load deep inside.

At the same time, Sonya-san collapses to the floor like a cut string.

“Phew… that was good.”

She’ll probably wake up in an hour. Time to prep my questions.

I heard Sonya-san and the Snakes, under Nelba, worked more as mercenaries than adventurers before coming to the capital, drifting from place to place.

Being “ugly” women, they’ve got a ton of experience and know the world outside the capital well.

I don’t want to dig too deep and bring up bad memories, so I’ve gotta watch my step.

As for me, my experience before the capital’s just getting good at being raped. Worldly knowledge? Hardly.

Arius’s memories are like reading a textbook—facts without feeling.

So, my real knowledge and experience come from Master’s diner.

It’s been a while since I came to the capital, but I’ve leaned on Towa and the others too much—gotta reflect on that.

Anyway.

“How kids are treated outside the capital.”

Kazune-san and the others went beyond the capital.

That means Yuri’s hometown, his home, is outside it.

Why was Yuri, who should’ve been in some town I don’t know, here in the capital?

Digging into Arius’s memories, selling boys to traffickers isn’t common but happens.

Poor regions exist, and in those places, trading boys for money or food… well, I’ve done it myself, so it’d be hypocritical to feel grossed out.

“…Haa.”

Just when I was feeling refreshed.

No, maybe there’s a different, more positive reason.

“No way that’s it.”

Ugh, this is so murky.

“A, Arius, sama? Y-Done?”

“—Not even.”

Seriously!

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“Serika, I love you.”

“Eh!? Y-Yeah! I-I love Arius-sama too—w-wait, whoa!?”

Keep me company till the Snakes wake up, please!
