As A Result of Trying To Live An Erotic Slow-Life, I Have Become The Underground Ruler of This Upside-Down Otherworld - Chapter 89: After the Grand Orgy

Chapter 89: After the Grand Orgy

The Rongrong grand orgy ended at dawn.

The gathering was held on a day off, meaning the next day—once the date changed—was a business day.

Naturally, the early-shift staff arrived to prep for the day.

Eight Rabbits showed up.

They hadn’t attended the gathering. Or rather, they weren’t at the event.

The only ones from the Ririeru Family who participated were the boss, Ririeru, and Luuri, plus a few single volunteers who’d stepped forward.

Of the Rabbits, less than half took part. This was partly due to capacity limits, but mostly because of an order to involve Arius’s hands as much as possible.

Those who weren’t there had been told it was their choice, yet every one of them checked the gathering’s events through the magic stones installed in Rongrong as surveillance cameras.

It wasn’t a hunch—they were certain their master would change.

They hadn’t been directly told what would happen, but still.

There was no resistance to serving under Arius.

None, but they wanted to confirm his ideals, his direction, and watched closely.

To reiterate, the Rabbits are a group with ordinary, or average, appearances.

They have many paths open to them, and as Arius said, they can easily choose the simpler ones.

To put it bluntly:

They’re the ones least likely to benefit from the world Arius aims for.

The reason they remain Rabbits is purely Ririeru.

Her management skills, workplace environment, and job duties—they’re convinced by what she’s built and followed her to this point.

Sure, they have some expectations for Arius and view him favorably.

But if, say, their pay dropped or they were ordered to kill, they were ready to cite personal reasons and leave.

It sounds calculating, but the Rabbits became Rabbits because they chose the best path available to them.

Those content and satisfied with the present don’t welcome change.

That’s only natural. Few can just nod and say, “Sure,” to potentially painful change.

Above all, the Rabbits are skilled. Ordinary-looking people who can handle anything are in high demand.

They could work anywhere.

That was indeed how the Rabbits felt until Arius began speaking.

But, oh, but—

“…Alright!”

The Rabbit reaching for the staff entrance door brimmed with motivation.

It might be worth betting on.

Arius’s words had that kind of power.

Abstract, with no clear plan, his speech still drew them in.

Above all—

—Help me.

That one phrase spilling from Arius’s mouth made their hearts nod.

A line Ririeru would never say. No, those with power or status rarely utter such words.

It might be used in negotiations or whispered between close allies in private, but not in front of a crowd.

They felt clearly needed.

The words may have been for the masses, and they knew they were just one among many.

But as Rabbits, with so many options, being explicitly desired by one person electrified them.

The others following the Rabbit opening the door had similar glints in their eyes.

Not everyone felt the same, of course. Some calculated that uplifting the status of ugly women would naturally raise their own—undeniable.

But their drive to do this was genuine.

Yes, today marks the new Rabbits.

With their master shifting from Ririeru to Arius, a new day begins. They open the door with renewed resolve—

“—Ahyu♡”

The stench of lust pouring from Rongrong buckled their knees.

※

It was a wise call to immediately put up a “Closed Today” sign out front.

The early-shift Rabbits, veins bulging on their foreheads, stuffed the blissfully passed-out people scattered around the diner into the break room.

Instead of prepping ingredients, they tackled post-orgy cleanup.

They’d been through this before, so they were remarkably efficient.

When shameless, sloppy murmurs spilled out while carrying people, they just clicked their tongues.

When someone slipped on a semen puddle on the floor, they laughed and smacked Arius’s head.

Each person took Arius’s seed inside them three times.

Counting external shots, who knows how many times Arius came? No one counted—there was no time.

The Snakes, led by Sonya, were the worst.

—“I could burn the capital to ashes now.”

Such a dangerous murmur, said with a happy face, was chilling.

But it’s understandable.

The Snakes had only ever had contractual sex with Arius—like a meal.

They were happy with that, but this was their first time with, well, lovey-dovey sex.

Even in an orgy, Arius was serious.

The fact that many still hadn’t woken up proved it.

By early afternoon—

Surprisingly, Ririeru was the first to stir.

Seeing the Rabbits nearby, waiting with vacant eyes, she instantly understood and hurriedly bowed.

—No, no, don’t worry.

—Congratulations, Ririeru-sama.

Warm words were offered to Ririeru.

Next to wake was Luuri.

Now, she’s kneeling before her Rabbits, getting a lecture on how this happened under her leadership.

The rest followed quickly.

The Family members woke one by one.

Each tidied up, shaking off their still-fuzzy heads, and gathered in Ririeru’s private room.

“—Sorry to keep you.”

“No, good work, Mia-san. How’s Darling doing?”

The last to enter was Mia. Waiting were Towa, Serika, and Ririeru.

Going forward, these four will likely form the core leadership or executives.

It’s unclear how Arius will assign roles, but these four will probably make up the executive council.

And, as expected, Arius, having gone all out, is now in a deep sleep for super-recovery.

“It’s the usual… or so I’d say, but, hmm.”

“Is something wrong?”

Towa, concerned, urges Mia to continue as she tilts her head.

“No, not a problem, but… I need to look into orcs a bit.”

“Orcs?”

Serika tilts her head.

“Arius-san’s gone into super-recovery twice before in front of us. First after exhausting Serika, second after Rongrong, and now the third, the Family orgy. We’ve confirmed—felt firsthand—his stamina boost, but mental changes are unpredictable.”

The first time, bluntly, he got pickier about partners. The second, his libido’s brakes loosened.

So, what about the third?

“Orcs… purebloods have a ‘conquer the opposite sex’ mindset.”

“We’re already conquered as can be, aren’t we?”

Serika’s line, tinged with lovesickness, is met with serious nods from everyone present.

“It’s weird to say we’re enough, but if that’s the case, no issue. But if his libido becomes a shackle, that’s no good. I’ll look into orc and half-orc cases.”

“Understood. I’ll gather materials. Male half-orcs are rare, though.”

“I know, thanks. I’ll dig up what I can too. So, handle things until Arius-san wakes up.”

With Arius’s condition covered, Mia shifts to listening mode.

“Now, about the future.”

“First, from me. Based on what Darling explained beforehand, in short, he wants to turn our territory into a Family.”

Ririeru says this, slightly dreamy.

Towa nods quietly, understanding, and urges her on.

“The investigation we had the Rats do on crimes or damages in our territory… it ties into that, I believe.”

“Uh… like, sending all criminals to the nunnery?”

Serika says innocently, ever the extremist.

Mia nearly bursts out, and Towa, with a wry smile, gently corrects her, “Probably not.”

“Deterrence, suppression… perhaps? Crime often stems from societal discontent. Darling likely wants to personally hear and resolve those issues.”

“Darling himself… Mmph.”

It’s not that Serika disagrees—it’s that she can’t stand the idea of someone doing nothing getting Arius’s favor.

It’s written all over her face, but since it’s Arius’s wish, she calms herself and thinks.

It’s unclear how far Arius has planned, but what he’s doing feels like nation-building.

Or maybe establishing an autonomous zone. Either way, he’s aiming to set up his own laws.

Reaching that thought, Serika grins—totally on board.

“Of course, some are so used to crime they feel no resistance. Some will take Goshujin-sama’s outstretched hand, smirking inside while pulling him down.”

“Smash ‘em.”

“Yes. We’re counting on you for those, Serika.”

“Leave it to me.”

Serika snorts with a huff.

But Arius’s ideal is a pipe dream.

Everyone here, and all in the Family, knows it.

It’s hard to achieve, a peak barely visible, if at all.

Because of that, obstacles will arise—aware or not.

Protecting their beloved master from them and ensuring they don’t become obstacles themselves is their top priority.

“Anyway, specifics come after Goshujin-sama wakes up.”

“Right. We can’t rush ahead on our own.”

“Of course!”

Towa, Mia, and Serika clench their fists, solidifying their resolve.

Ririeru gazes at them, as if dazzled.

Her instincts were right—Arius is a treasure, and those serving him elevate his value even more.

And then—

“Ririeru-sama.”

“Heh… Indeed, what shall we do?”

The future of the Ririeru Family itself.

The discussion continues, but from here, it’s a talk only those truly part of the Arius Family can have.

Ririeru flashes a mischievous smile at Towa’s gaze.

Towa, then Mia, and even Serika, throw the same kind of look at Ririeru.

In short, they’re asking: enemy or ally?

No half-measures allowed.

If Ririeru says she’ll hold off here, no matter her later answer or Arius’s approval, they won’t see her as an ally.

Their relationship is already acknowledged.

But they want to hear it from Ririeru’s mouth.

Ririeru knows this all too well.

Her pause isn’t about her heart—it’s for her subordinates.

As an individual, she’s long given herself to Arius.

But as one responsible for the Rabbits, she can’t answer lightly.

A change in boss is a big shift.

She doesn’t think Arius would make the Rabbits unhappy.

But what’s meant for their good might not truly be—it’s a lesson she’s learned painfully recently.

“E-Excuse me… Ririeru-sama, may I have a moment?”

“Luuri? Y-You look utterly worn out… Everyone, I’m sorry.”

A knock interrupts as Ririeru opens her mouth.

Luuri appears, looking completely drained.

“—”

“…I see…!”

A quiet word in Ririeru’s ear.

Tears well in Ririeru’s eyes.

And then—

“Yes, from this moment today… the Ririeru Family joins the Arius Family. I transfer all authority to Darling. Please continue to guide me and my treasures.”

She declares with a radiant smile.
