As A Result of Trying To Live An Erotic Slow-Life, I Have Become The Underground Ruler of This Upside-Down Otherworld

Chapter 90: Launch! The Arius Family

“Good morning, Goshujin-sama.”

“…Morning.”

God, an angel?

Waking up, I’m greeted by Towa’s face, brimming with pure happiness.

No need to hide it—knowing that smile’s there because I’m here warms my heart.

“Uh, what day is it?”

“Yes. It’s been three days since that day. How are you feeling?”

By the third time, I get it.

After going all out with sex, my body knocks me out for three days.

I glance at my son, thinking, You okay? But he’s raring to go this morning, as always.

That said, like every time, my body aches biki-biki after sleeping so long.

It’s expected, but my head feels oddly clear.

I’m not usually bad at waking up, but what’s this?

“Towa?”

“Yes. What’s wrong?”

I sit up halfway and call her. She flashes that same smile.

I beckon her closer with a little wave, and she steps to the bedside.

“Can I see your stomach?”

“Eh!? Y-Yes, of course.”

She lifts her shirt, shyly, revealing a cute navel.

I place my hand on her lower abdomen.

“? Goshujin-sama?”

“Uh, kinda tactless question, but… is today your ovulation day?”

“Nya!?”

She jerks back, pulling her stomach away.

What am I even asking?

But I just… feel it.

Not that I need to confirm it, but…

“Y-Yes… um, maybe, possibly.”

“Got it.”

There’s no way to know exact ovulation days in this world—it’s just a feeling.

She’s blushing hard, nodding, and I’m satisfied just seeing that… Wait, how sleazy am I?

“Sorry. I just… got this weird feeling.”

“Weird feeling?”

I’m pretty sure it’s her ovulation day. I’m certain.

Not that it means sex would definitely make a kid, but… hmm.

“Towa.”

“Eh? W-Wait?”

Yeah, I gotta confirm this.

Well, here goes.

“Your fault for having that angelic face first thing.”

“Eh? Eh? Ehh? Goshu—Nnyaa♡”

Itadakimasu.

※

That was one hell of a wake-up call.

Midway, I realized we’re in Rongrong. I step out, patting my lighter hips, only to be met by Ririeru’s deadpan stare.

She leads me to that special room, where everyone’s gathered, sporting the same look.

“Honestly, sorry.”

First words out, an apology. I’d grovel if needed.

“Uh… where’s Towa? No, I know, just confirming.”

“She’s passed out in the room.”

Checking things, huh?

Long story short, I can now sense women’s weak spots.

Frankly, my experience made this skill redundant, but it’s sharper now.

New discovery: Towa loves intense stimulation at her entrance.

I got carried away, goshi-goshi at the end, after teasing other spots.

“She probably won’t move for a while, even when she wakes.”

“…”

Confession time.

Towa’s innocent. She’s the victim; I’m the culprit.

Anyway, that’s the deal.

It’s less about weak spots and more about understanding women’s bodies—like knowing Towa’s ovulation day.

I wouldn’t, but I could probably knock someone out with a single touch.

Still—

“But, rare for you, Arius-sama. You look worn out?”

“Yeah, feels like I got drained hard.”

It was intense, but just one round.

Still, I’m exhausted—not enough to pass out again, but one more at Towa’s pace, and I’d be lights out.

“…Hmm. Probably mana depletion.”

“Mana depletion?”

Mia pulls a magic stone from her chest, eyeing me through it.

“Yup, mana depletion. Your internal mana’s nearly dry. Arius-san, anything different when you were with Towa just now?”

“Hmm, I could tell what she liked, stuff like that.”

Mana depletion?

Wait, I had mana? News to me. Can I use magic or something?

“Probably that. I did some research, and orcs have a similar ability. Called ‘Conquest Sight.’ It’s like… seeing a woman’s instincts or state.”

“Conquest Sight.”

I hear gulps around me. Heh, look forward to it.

No, wait.

The power to read a woman’s state, huh.

“What about orc bodily fluids having an aphrodisiac effect?”

“Yup, a pureblood orc trait. Plus Conquest Sight. Those are the main special abilities of orcs. Otherwise, strong stamina, high fertility, as you know.”

Got it.

Come to think of it, my past-life knowledge of orcs was just vague stereotypes.

It worked out, so I never dug deeper, but they’ve got abilities like that.

“Arius-san’s… mimicking orc abilities with mana, I think. Since you can’t fully control it yet, you hit mana depletion.”

“I see… I didn’t even know I had mana. So, how do I control it?”

“Not something you master overnight. But lucky you, Mia and Serika are here. We’ll make time to practice with you.”

“Cool. Mia, Serika, I’m counting on you.”

They nod firmly. Nice, that’s a relief.

※

“S-Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Report and apology letter later.”

Sorry, Towa, I got carried away. I’ll help with the apology letter, so forgive me.

Towa shows up exactly three hours later.

Yup, we’re not just here to talk about my abilities.

“Right… let’s start over.”

I bow, and everyone nods back with serious eyes. Reliable bunch.

We’re here to discuss the future.

Good thing I asked Ririeru to reserve the special room after the gathering.

…Let’s ignore that I’m a bit late.

“About the future: we’ll mostly keep our current lifestyle but start managing conflicts in our territory.”

“Does that mean cracking down?”

I shake my head at Towa’s question. Not quite.

“I don’t want to dominate, and I’m not aiming for equality. Like I said, I want coexistence—where both sides gain or lose together.”

If one side loses and the other gains, it’s the same as now. Right now, the beautiful side always wins.

But giving the losing side enough to balance it out isn’t the goal either. It’s not about resulting equality.

“Shuri, Kazune.”

“Ha!”

Both rise from their cushions, kneeling on the floor.

Not sure if I should get used to this or tell them to stop.

“Kazune, lead the Rats to monitor what’s happening in our territory. Report high-priority issues to me. Keep one person at Ronnyan as a liaison, same as before.”

“Understood. For high-priority issues, I’ll await your judgment without intervening. For lower ones, I’ll compile reports. Is that alright?”

“Yeah, it’s one of the most critical roles in my vision. I’m counting on you.”

“~! It’s an honor. I’ll do it!”

Kazune trembles with a fierce reply.

“Shuri, be the Rats’ coordinator. Early on, we’ll discuss cases together, but eventually, I’ll delegate some to you. Plan for that.”

“As you wish.”

Shuri nods quietly.

First time seeing her like this, but she pulls it off. Nice.

“Sonya.”

“Here.”

She kneels like Shuri and Kazune, but damn, she’s intense.

“There’s a room in Ronnyan’s basement. Like the Rats, keep one person there at all times. Rotate every three days. I’ll visit at least once per rotation for a ‘night visit’… meal-wise, is that pace okay?”

“Of course. Honestly, one embrace could sustain me for a month, so if it’s a burden—”

“I’m hugging you every three days, no question.”

“…Thank you!”

No weird holding back, please.

Honestly, I still wanna hold everyone.

“On top of that, normally, gather ingredients with Serika. Ronnyan won’t be the only focus anymore, and Serika can’t handle it alone. The one at Ronnyan isn’t for contacting me but for reaching Serika or the Snakes. I might call you back in emergencies, so be ready.”

“I humbly accept. Serika-sama, I look forward to working with you.”

“Yup.”

I’ve thought it before, but Serika and the Snakes vibe well.

Like they’ve got the same energy… They’ll manage fine.

Emergencies mean force—fights, basically.

I don’t wanna think about it, but conflicts are likely, like with Rozaria’s group.

Underestimating beautiful women’s networks is a lesson I’ve learned the hard way.

“Ririeru.”

“Yes, Darling.”

Her joining—becoming mine—massively expanded our territory.

Naturally, she knows a lot I don’t, so I’ll need to rely on her.

“There’s a lot I need to learn from you.”

“Of course, ask me anything.”

“Thanks. Also, within the Family, I’d like you to handle finances. I’ll go over salaries later, but it’d help if you reviewed them with me.”

“Understood.”

Her gentle smile radiates trust.

Gotta step up to not betray that.

“Luuri.”

“Yes, Dannasama.”

“D-Dannasama?” (T/N: It can be translated in different ways, one is to refer to the head of the house as a maid, another is to affectionately refer to your husband.)

“Oh? Did I get it wrong? Would you prefer another name?”

She says it casually, but her ears are red, Luuri-san.

I mean, call me what you want, but—

“If you’re calling me that just ‘cause I’m Ririeru’s man, you’re wrong. I’m your man too.”

“~! Ugh! Fine! I get it! What do I do!?”

Yup, cute.

Her looks might be ordinary, but Luuri’s adorable… Yeah.

“Keep making Rongrong thrive, like always. Plus, if someone shows the hand sign or badge—”

“Understood. I’ll check their concerns. I’ll handle what I can, but for now, I’ll run everything by you.”

“—Right, that’s good.”

She turns away with a huff, cheeks red. So cute.

And damn, she’s sharp—Ririeru’s confidante for a reason.

“Hand sign?”

“Yeah, I’ll explain. The badge too.”

The souvenirs for the gathering attendees.

They included preserved royal-grade food, a badge with “Dragon” written on it, and a thank-you note.

For ugly women specifically, I added a hand sign to signal they need help.

“Towa, Mia, Serika.”

I call their names, and they nod in unison.

Their eyes say, Tell us anything.

“Basically, keep doing what you’ve been doing. But I’ve got one new request.”

Consultations go to Ronnyan.

Everyone’s got private struggles, not just about looks.

We can’t solve them all.

“Be there for them.”

But we can support them.

We can listen and stand by them.

“If you see someone with a ‘Dragon’ badge or using the hand sign in town, Ronnyan, or Rongrong, talk to them. If they’ve got a problem, tell them to come to Ronnyan.”

I’ll do it too, of course.

But Towa and the others can relate better and find solutions more often—it’s just how it is.

“It’s a big role. You might hate it. I know you’d do anything for me. You might think, Why for strangers? But… please.”

Raising my bowed head is a bit scary.

It’s like asking them to face the selves society rejected.

It’s not just these three, but I can’t help as much as a guy with a different life.

Maybe I could handle physical or sexual issues, but not the core problems.

Still, I wanna do it.

Not just these three—I want to see all my beloved women become the amazing women I envision… no, even better.

“Goshujin-sama.”

“Yeah.”

“I—”
