(Chastity Reversed) I'm Sorry, My Lady. I Had Sex With Another Woman Again - Chapter 63: We're the Same

In the pitch-black darkness.

I was gazing at the faded scenery floating in the darkness.

That place had wooden boxes placed roughly around. Women in dirty clothes with much exposed skin were wandering about.

In the back, there was a pink door, and it was the only thing with color in this faded sepia world.

There, a damn demon with a bandana was opening the door with a grinning face, whistling as he entered.

Watching that made my heart feel unsettled for some reason.

“……! ………!!!”

I desperately tried to stop the women, but no words came from my throat.

Even so, I opened my mouth wide, trying to squeeze out air.

———The result didn’t change.

However, there was one change.

In the faded world, another figure appeared.

A dirty girl with disheveled red hair wearing tattered clothes. She seemed like a foreign object in this place where adults wandered about.

Among the loitering women, she bowed her head with the momentum of someone about to prostrate herself toward a woman relatively close to her age.

[Please. Please deliver this to father]

What she held out was the lowest value coin in this demon country. It was a precious treasure that the still young girl had obtained with the feeling of coughing up blood.

[Hey hey, ———. What’s this?]

[Please, father…… please be kind to father. I’ll do anything in his place]

Anything in his place.

Hearing those words, the women burst into laughter.

Some even said direct things like [We need adult men, what can a little brat do?]

[[——]. Sorry about that. We got too heated up last night and made you worry, huh? It’s fine, we’re taking good care of your father. He’s not suffering at all!]

[I-is that true……?]

[Yeah! It’s true! Listen, [——]. Demons are all kind and gentle people. That’s why we’re protecting fragile, weak humans like you. We give you bones every day, don’t we? Are you doubting such good people?]

[N-no……]

[That’s right. Then you have something to say, don’t you? [——]?]

[I-I’m sorry for doubting you]

The girl crawled on the ground and performed the usual ritual to beg for forgiveness.

She struck her head to make sounds. Over and over. Until forgiveness was granted.

[Can’t be helped, I’ll forgive you. ……Let’s see, in another 5 years or so, I’ll show you inside that door too]

“Phew……”

The battle with the blue-haired moray eel woman.

And several hours of surfing while carrying Suberia and the others. The naked negotiations after arriving at the port city [Ricsar]. Having finished various things, I was taking a breath.

(Are my lady and the others safe……?)

The concerns were endless.

About my lady, about Shia, about Ginny.

Were they safe after receiving that huge wave?

We had been swept away far enough to reach this port town. In the worst case, they might be in a life-threatening situation.

Thinking about that, I couldn’t just sit still.

……But there was only so much I alone could do.

At least now, while still carrying the sleeping Suberia and the others, there was nothing I could do.

I would have to think about what I could do from tomorrow onward.

I looked down at the faces of the girls still sleeping in bed.

Suberia too, Orca too. Everyone had a bad complexion.

Particularly bad was Caron.

She was greatly distorting her face, suffering to the point of gritting her teeth.

Perhaps while I was unconscious, Caron had also fought that woman and sustained some invisible injury.

If she had severe internal bleeding or something, it would be better to heal her.

(Sorry……)

I approached Caron while making saliva with squishing sounds. But when I brought my ear close to her, I heard a faint sound from Caron.

“……….Di”

“Di?”

What was “shi”?

Just as I was about to ask the sleeping her that.

“Die! Die! Die!!! Die———!!! Damn damn damn! Damn!”

I was thoroughly cursed right in my ear.

“S-sorry…… I thought it would be good for you……”

“……….? A-huh??? N-Nii-san???”

Even in the original world, there was controversy about using AED on women without permission.

This case might be similar to that.

Even for medical purposes, taking Caron’s lips without permission was wrong……

Her cursing was justified. I knelt on the ground and bowed my head to her again.

“Sorry…… No, I apologize……”

“……??? Um, no, that, where is this?”

“You seem to have woken up♪”

Caron shook her head and looked around.

As if she had been watching from somewhere, the owner of this building popped her head out.

“Ah, Ebon-san. Sorry for being noisy in the middle of the night”

“Not at all♪ It’s Simon-san’s request, so I don’t mind that much♡”

What appeared was a black-haired woman wearing a cheongsam.

She had features that gave an intelligent impression, but the left half of her face was wrapped in bandages, and traces of healing burns could be faintly seen.

However, she seemed cheerful now and radiated such a bright atmosphere that she didn’t appear injured.

She was our great benefactor.

The face of this port city [Ricsar], Ebon-san.

I pointed toward Ebon-san with my palm, but Caron remained agitated, looking around restlessly.

“N-Nii-sanr! What about that woman!? E-Eil!?”

“Eil? ……You mean that moray eel-armed woman? To tell the truth, I don’t know. I was swept away by waves and when I came to, I was here”

“I-I see……”

“So this Ebon-san helped us when we had nothing but the clothes on our backs and no money”

“Eh……?”

“She clothed you all when you were naked and took care of various things. Make sure to thank her properly”

Then, Caron looked toward Ebon-san for the first time. Caron stared at her with an unbelievable expression.

Receiving such a gaze, Ebon-san waved her hands.

“……T-thank you very much”

“Not at all♪ No thanks needed. I’m human just like you all. When in trouble, we help each other, right~”

“……….Help, each other”

“? Is something wrong♪”

“N-no, that, nothing………..”

Caron showed gestures as if she was at a loss for words. After staring blankly at Ebon-san for a while, she hung her head deeply.

She curled up her body and began trembling on the bed. Seeing her condition, I involuntarily called out to her.

“……Caron?”

“S-sorry. That, it’s been a long time since someone was kind to me, so I wonder why…… for some reason, the tears won’t stop”

“………..”

Whether it was today’s abnormal events that caused it, Caron was shedding large tears.

Her face was fragile, as if she might disappear somewhere at any moment. Even though I hadn’t known her for long, I could tell she was suffering greatly.

“Karo……”

While I was flustered by the sudden situation and tried to call out to her, a hand smoothly extended in front of me.

It belonged to the owner of this place, Ebon-san. She approached Caron, who was dropping tears, and gently embraced her like a mother.

“Caron-chan, wasn’t it? ……I won’t say I understand your feelings. But as a human living in the demon country, I sometimes feel the difficulty of living. Is it the same for you?”

“………..”

Caron, shedding tears, didn’t answer anything. However, she nodded slightly.

“You, still a child, must have had more hardships than me. And getting caught up in such a maritime accident too. It must have been difficult……”

Smoothly.

Ebon-san’s hand stroked Caron’s red hair. Each time, she let out small hiccups.

“It’s okay now. I will protect you. All of you. Simon-san. Please be at ease. ……Right♪”

“……….Yes, yes! Thank you, thank you so much! For saving, for saving me! For saving big brother!”

I had never seen Caron explode with emotions like this.

Caron, who suddenly burst into tears. Her state didn’t seem normal, and her mental state was probably not what could be called healthy.

However———

“It’s fine♪ You’re still a child. It’s totally okay to rely on adults♪”

“……….!”

Crying = bad.

That wasn’t necessarily decided. Crying today might have been a good thing for her in the long run.

Crying while smiling with a worn-out face. Seeing her somewhat refreshed expression, I thought so.

◇

“That such a person, such a woman exists……”

The helping hand that was never extended during childhood. Receiving it unexpectedly, Caron became agitated and cried.

Remembering Ebon, the human woman who was kind even to Caron, who would be difficult to handle, Caron’s heart became warmly filled.

(Ah, thank goodness. I’m different from those demon beasts. I’m right after all. I have the blood of the right race, the kind race. The same as father, and Nii-san, and Ebon-san…… I’m the same!!!)

Caron, excited and breathing heavily.

She repeated words noisily in her head.

Therefore, Caron couldn’t notice.

The ceiling that Caron was staring at. Beyond that gaze, behind the wall, she still hadn’t noticed the sounds of the affair taking place.

“Aahn♡♡♡”
