Drifted Into a Reversed World ~ The One Method for Me, a Japanese Guy, to Survive in a World Where Men and Fertility Are Scarce ~ - 20

Chapter 20: Comfort

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Elraine-sama’s unit escorted Sota to the vacant house under heavy guard to ensure he remained unseen by the villagers. The solemnity of the scene was so unnatural that the village women began to suspect someone of exceptionally high social standing had arrived in their village. Of course, not a single man lived in the village.

“Please, enter.”

As Elraine opened the door and escorted Sota inside, she closed it firmly to ensure no outsiders could see within. She shut the windows as well, not neglecting to secure the house strictly so that no one could peek in from the outside.

“If you need anything, please call out to the guards outside.”

“Yes. Um… How is Firis-san’s condition?”

“As I explained, Firis-sama was poisoned with a paralytic neurotoxin… However, I believe she will recover by today or tomorrow if she continues to rest quietly.”

“I see…”

Replying thus, Sota looked around the room. There were two simple beds and a dining table. There was also a modest kitchen for cooking; to Sota, who was born in Japan, the environment was beyond meager, but even if he used one bed, there would still be one left over.

“In that case, would you let me handle nursing Firis-san?”

“Ex-Excuse me!?”

“Look, even if I use one bed, there’s still one extra. It would be a waste not to use a perfectly good bed, wouldn’t it?”

“N-No… but…! A-A man and a woman in the same room together is…”

“Firis-san and I are friends, so it’s fine. Besides, if her condition changes suddenly or if that ‘danger’ you’re worried about happens to occur, I’ll tell those outside immediately.”

“I-I wasn’t necessarily doubting Firis-sama…”

“…Heh. I know. You really admire her, don’t you? Firis-san, I mean.”

Smiling softly, Sota felt somewhat proud. The fact that Firis, the first person he had truly bonded with in this world, was so beloved by her subordinates made him happy. Elraine flushed at Sota’s smile, looked away, and adjusted her glasses.

“V-Very well then, I leave Firis-sama in your care. If anything happens, please let me know.”

“Right.”

“I shall step outside now. Once the meal is ready, I will bring it to you.”

“Understood. Thank you.”

Elraine cleared her throat and left the room in a hurry. Even for someone as calm and composed as she was, at the end of the day, she was an innocent virgin. Her heart was constantly being thrown into disarray by Sota’s smile, his voice, and the scent that tickled her nostrils. It felt as though she might lose her composure if the two of them stayed in that closed room any longer, and she feared her subordinates might suspect something scandalous, so she had no choice but to leave the room quickly with a reddened face.

Left alone, Sota looked around the silent room.

“Alright. Let’s do a little cleaning.”

He resolved to polish the room until it sparkled before sunset.

◇◇◇◇◇

He applied a water-soaked cloth to Firis and pulled the blanket up to her shoulders. Her breathing was steady, and her complexion looked good. At this point, it was safe to say she was in a peaceful sleep rather than a coma. Sota let out a shallow breath and sighed with relief.

(A knight is… no, Firis-san is amazing.)

As he brushed the golden hair away from her forehead, Sota’s feelings of respect and affection grew even stronger. She could have safely escaped the forest if she had just abandoned him, but she hadn’t done that. She had risked her life to protect him.

(What a noble and kind person she is.)

Sota still found himself wondering if the fact that they had shared their bodies and loved one another was a lie. He felt that he and she were mismatched in terms of both status and personality. In truth, their first time hadn’t started under gentle circumstances at all, nor had there been a conversation filled with romanticism. However, he had long since forgotten such things. Simply following the results and the emotions within him, Sota couldn’t help but love Firis.

“…”

While idly thinking such things, memories of sex with Firis inevitably surfaced. That experience, where they sought each other out and elevated one another as they became one, was etched into Sota’s mind like a potent drug. While his tryst with Ronia was one thing, it was the act of loving one another that truly satisfied Sota’s heart as well as his senses.

“…”

Firis was breathing quietly in her sleep. In rhythm with her breathing, the blanket lifted by her ample breasts rose and fell slowly, and Sota gulped. When he thought about the fact that he had been able to have his way with that chest and that body the other day, heat naturally pooled in his abdomen. His member selfishly increased in hardness, and his heart began to beat like a racing bell.

It wasn’t that he intended to do anything to Firis’s body now. However, perhaps because he had been stuck close to a beauty like Elraine all day—wrapped in her softness and the sweet body odor unique to women—his youthful libido was being forced higher.

“…”

Sota slowly moved away from Firis’s bed, sat on the other one, and slowly began to lift the hem of his tunic. Since he had no underwear, sliding it up to his waist was enough to expose his member. Engorged, it asserted itself as if the fatigue from that night with the Imperial soldiers was nothing at all, pulsing and throbbing.

“Hah… haah…”

Sota then began to slowly stroke himself. The reason he turned his back to Firis was likely out of guilt. Since coming to this world, he had experienced intimate contact with women on a level incomparable to his life in Japan, so he had no shortage of mental imagery. Recalling Firis, Ronia, and the soft skin of Elraine, Sota heightened his sensations.

He wasn’t sure how much time had passed. Before he knew it, Sota was on the verge of climax. Masturbating for the first time in a while felt good in its own way, and he continued the act with heavy breaths. Aided by the fact that Firis was nearby, he was excited enough that his head felt light. Finally, the sensation of ejaculation arrived. The climax was right there…

“Sota-sama. I have brought your meal.”

…And right then, as if to forbid his ejaculation, Elraine knocked on the door.
