Chapter 41: Our New Journey

And now… the after-story.

Kokono, who had officially joined our party, moved into the adventurers’ inn with us.

Her room was right across from mine.

She often dropped by to chat, and Lily and Filio—perhaps happy to have such a cute little sister figure—spoiled her endlessly.

Of course, she also joined us in that special kind of nightly fellowship.

At night, instead of hearing crickets chirping, the walls would echo with their sweet, lewd moans.

“Lord Haruya… ♥ Please, bless my soaking wet pussy with your hot, hard cock… ♥”

“Haruya ♥ Haruya… ♥ Harder… tease me rougher ♥”

Whether it was to tempt me with their lower halves or simply indulge in their own lust, her seniors moaned shamelessly in their solo play—clearly putting on a show for me.

And maybe because she was influenced by them… or because she’d already come to believe masturbation was something meant to be seen—

Kokono’s soft, dirty voice started drifting from right outside my door.

“Haruya… watch meee… ♥ Keep watching meee ♥”

Her sweet moans lured me in, and of course, I responded in kind—with my own hand.

That was us—the adventurer party known far and wide as the Masturbation Lovers’ Club.

And then, about that damn Holy Armor Flora.

I thought I’d finally gotten rid of it, but nope—

One day, I came back to my room… and there it was.

Sitting godly and smug, right in the middle of my bed.

“Begone, goddess! Begone, goddess! Begone, goddess!!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, I unleashed my ultimate move—

The Naked Hip-Thrust Flop Dance!

Thwap, thwap—cock thwapping in glorious rhythm!

After all the battles I’d fought in Kamunkotan, this dance had leveled up like crazy.

I swung my hips up, down, left, right—rapid-fire thrust barrage, baby!

“Y-You’ve gotta be kidding me!? You actually resisted my dance!?”

Unbelievable—but that damn thing held its ground.

The pain-in-the-ass holy armor rattled and shimmered… but refused to disappear.

Worse, it shone even brighter, like it was proud of itself.

“Grrr! You do realize perverted monsters can sense your holy aura from miles away, right!? Get lost already, or I’ll rub my dick all over you!!”

Even with my divine-level threat, the stubborn bastard only quivered harder, still refusing to leave.

And now it was radiating this smug, holy aura—like it was saying, “We made a contract, remember? You can never get rid of me now, right? Right?”

Yeah… I was starting to suspect this thing actually had a will of its own.

So I changed tactics.

“Ahem. You know… armor that only appears in emergencies? That’s actually super cool.”

Its aura jolted—clearly intrigued.

“Not something you wear all the time. Just swooping in during a crisis—that’s way more badass. Makes you look way more divine too. Way cooler if it’s a rare appearance, don’t you think?”

The moment I said that, the annoying bastard quietly faded out of sight.

Finally.

“Whew… at least I managed to avoid having it cling to me 24/7…”

Or so I thought—until I felt a stare.

The door to my room was cracked open, and there it was—

The holy armor, peeking in like some pervy stalker.

“It’s not your turn yet, damn it! Get lost already!!”

…Yeah. No doubt about it.

This thing definitely had a mind of its own.

And somehow, its pain-in-the-ass level had gone up again.

But that wasn’t even the worst part.

The real problem was that Lily had found out about the holy sword and the holy armor.

Well… okay, technically I was the one who told her.

But come on, the holy sword was literally a divine relic!

Not exactly something a random dude like me should be swinging around like a toy lightsaber.

One afternoon, Lily summoned me to her room.

We sat across from each other at a table—me feeling like a condemned man waiting for the judge to hand down the sentence.

I gulped and watched her face carefully, bracing myself.

“Lord Haruya… about that sword and armor. What are they?”

“The Lewd Sword… and the Lewd Armor…”

“…The Lewd Sword, and the Lewd Armor, you say.”

“Y-Yeah… the L-Lewd Sword… and the L-Lewd Armor…”

When I barely managed to squeeze those words out, Lily went completely silent.

…Yeah, that was way too forced, wasn’t it?

There had to be a better way to explain this!

This was definitely something the church would roast me for… hell, maybe even the goddess herself would rat me out!

Anyone but Goddess Flora. Seriously, anyone but Goddess Flora…

But if I tried some half-baked excuse, it’d just make things worse.

I knew this day of reckoning would come eventually… yet here I was, totally excuse-less, just sitting there in silence.

The quiet dragged on.

Seconds felt like minutes. Minutes felt like hours.

Actually, hours probably had passed. She’d called me around noon, and now the window outside was glowing red with sunset.

The whole time, Lily didn’t say a single word.

……。…………。

……。…………………。

Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.

Way scarier than any Demon King.

What made it worse? She didn’t even move.

She just sat there, perfectly still, radiating this silent, crushing pressure.

My eyes started twitching, my throat went bone dry, and I could feel my very soul starting to crack.

And then—

Lily lowered her gaze quietly… before lifting it again to meet mine.

“…I will wait until your vessel is filled.”

“…Huh???”

I honestly thought I misheard her.

But no—her face was deadly serious.

Her words overlapped with old memories from my past life, and I found myself staring at her beautiful face in disbelief.

Just how much did she remember…? Should I even ask?

“You do plan to keep adventuring with us, don’t you?”

“Y-Yeah, of course.”

Lily let out a quiet sigh.

“The church’s charity work… Lord Haruya, you’re surprisingly good with kids, so that’ll help us a lot.”

“Bring it on! I’ll handle it allll!”

Yeah, figures. No way she’d give me conditions for free.

That was Lily for you—always one step ahead, always in control.

Sometimes I seriously wondered if I’d ever win against her.

As I sat there silently trembling inside, Lily flashed that seductive, knowing smile.

“Don’t make me wait too long… or I might just fill your vessel myself ♥”

Her eyes practically said, You’re never escaping me.

Honestly, at that point, I’d accepted it—I was doomed to never hold my head high around her again.

And so, our adventure went on.

With Lily, Filio, and Kokono by my side.

Sometimes we did charity work, sometimes those sketchy red-envelope quests… and really, it wasn’t all that different from my previous life.

…No, actually, it was different!

At the very least, I felt like I’d gotten closer to everyone.

My personal goal?

If luck was on my side, I’d aim straight for the dream—an irresponsible harem full of sex and love.

But anything involving the goddess Flora or royal family drama?

Yeah, that’s a hard pass.

Got that, Fate?!

That day too, after wrapping up a quest, we returned to the adventurers’ inn.

Maybe it was the satisfaction of a job well done, but everyone looked cheerful.

We weren’t quite the “best companions” yet, but there was no denying it—

We shared a bond.

A bond forged through one specific part of the body… pseudo-connected at the crotch.

Fap-fap-fap… I snickered weirdly to myself in my heart.

Maybe… I should’ve realized it back then.

The innkeeper lady had actually been hinting at it for a while.

Stuff like, “…I hope you enjoyed yourselves last night,” or “I get that you’re young, but…” or “Could you maybe show a little restraint, hm?” or “This is still an adventurers’ inn, you know?” or “I can’t rent out rooms to other guests when… well, when your voices carry like that.”

Yeah. Considering the nature of the problem, she probably couldn’t bring herself to say it straight.

Still, I really should’ve caught on sooner.

This time, she met us at the entrance with a stiff, painfully polite smile plastered on her face.

And with obvious effort, she finally dropped the hammer.

“Uh… I’m afraid you’ll have to move out.”

“Wait… we’re being kicked out of the inn…?”

And so, our proud adventurer party—The Masturbation Lovers’ Club—was once again forced to take to the road, leaving the inn (and its traumatized landlady) behind.

[Character Intro] & Volume 01 Recap

● Haruya Arden

A hopeless pervert.

Before looping back in time, he was the Holy Hero himself.

Now? Just a lazy, carefree adventurer doing whatever he damn well pleased.

Tired of living a life bound by rules and divine duties, he threw away his Hero responsibilities.

His dream? A blissful, irresponsible harem life full of sex.

And whenever he said stuff like, “If you don’t give up, dreams come true!”—that was the only time he’d pull out his shiny “Hero” persona.

It might’ve looked like he’d snapped from the stress of his previous life, but nah—truth is, he’d always been a cheeky troublemaker at heart.

Abandoned as a baby, he’d grown up with a hole in his heart.

In his past life, he tried to fill that emptiness by becoming the Hero of Light—working himself half to death so someone, anyone, would need him.

But the brighter his light shone, the harder it became for anyone to face him directly.

At the end of the day, Haruya was basically a good guy.

That’s why, no matter how much he slacked off, he still couldn’t help but lend a hand.

The tragic (and hilarious) part? He was just too damn good at being a Hero.

His gear: Totally average.

His skills: Ridiculously sharp swordsmanship—and the Holy Sword.

That Holy Sword was a divine relic, and with its literal god-tier technique, he could vaporize monsters in one swing.

So imagine being a random adventurer and suddenly pulling that out of nowhere—yeah, every demon in a ten-mile radius would probably wet themselves.

Even while being stalked by fate—and that clingy, overbearing armor—Haruya still chased his dream: a daily life full of hip-thrusting happiness.

If the opportunity arose, he definitely had his eyes on some carefree, no-strings-attached sex with his companions.

Unfortunately for him, his twisted virgin brain made him stupidly weak to even the tamest pervy stuff—like, light skin contact was enough to make him grin like an idiot.

Though he’d once tried to keep his companions at a distance, he’d now made up his mind: he’d adventure with them again—this time, for real.

● Priestess Lily Alshiana

A total pervert.

Also, a strict priestess of the Grand Goddess Church.

She devoted her life to the faith of Salvation through Light (Tera), burning with the mission of guiding the Hero.

She was the one who always scolded Haruya with lines like, “Be righteous! Be a proper Hero!”

In the previous loop, the church had ordered her to watch over a cheeky troublemaker with “potential.”

She figured he’d flake out immediately—until she realized, “Wait… isn’t this guy kind of a prodigy?”

Turns out, Haruya’s Hero aptitude was so off the charts it’d be remembered for centuries.

From that moment on, she went full tutor mode, zealously training him into shape.

Because of her rough childhood, Lily knew exactly how powerful even a single light in the darkness could be.

So in this loop—an age without a Hero—she refused to give up hope and set out on a journey to find one.

That’s when she crossed paths with Haruya.

He didn’t act like a Hero at all, but she still saw a blazing light deep inside him—and decided to face him head-on, just as he was.

From there, her rational, calculating side began to show more often.

The once “Iron Maiden” had evolved into the “Steel Maiden”—someone who’d do whatever it took to accomplish her mission.

Paired with goofy Haruya, they were basically a cracked pot and the perfect lid.

Lily had also started to catch on to the truth about the previous loop.

Overlapping the Hero of Light she once knew with this reckless Haruya, she chose to wait… just a little longer.

Of course, that didn’t mean she’d ever let him escape—she was already plotting exactly how to create a new “Light.”

Her weapons: A holy staff and sacred techniques.

Her miracles: Faith-powered recovery and defense magic. For offense? Heal Blast.

Honestly, she looked like she belonged as the main heroine in a lewd RPG. Part 1.

Strict priestess or not, that scandalous slit in her outfit was pure temptation.

● Filio Val Eedelshade

A pervert.

A princely “I’m-a-girl-but-call-me-boy”-style, big-boobed rogue princess—and a gloriously indecent half-succubus.

Her motto? Stack the traits, multiply the fetishes.

She carried both nobility and chivalry—a refreshing girl with pride, kindness, and a dangerously perfect figure.

Blessed with elegance, huge breasts, and a heart of gold, she was the picture of temptation wrapped in manners.

Though born of noble blood, she chose to live among commoners under the guise of a “noble thief.”

Because of painful past experiences, she held a deep conviction in the responsibility of the powerful.

Once abandoned by those who should have saved her, she carried a quiet core of anger and sorrow.

In the previous loop, she’d known better than to believe in convenient heroes, yet still clung to her pride.

Then she met the Hero of Radiant Light—and her ideals got twisted beyond repair.

This time around, she’d been about to make the same mistake… but after seeing Haruya’s true, hopelessly human self, she finally loosened her shoulders.

Even if he was sloppy, even if he was pathetic—she chose to keep struggling as herself.

Ideals or not, she just couldn’t abandon someone in need.

Her weapons: a rapier and a magic ring.

A professional scout—quick, clever, and capable of doing just about anything.

Now, thanks to her succubus transformation, she’s also mastering all kinds of “special techniques.”

Honestly, she could easily headline her own lewd RPG. Part 2.

A serious ally of justice—

And her enormous, bouncing breasts were absolutely allies of sexual technique.

● Kokono Jukai

A pervert.

A soft, airheaded, innocent-type girl—always smiling sweetly.

A shrine maiden of the “yin” side, gifted at communing with spirits and the dead.

She lost her twin sister, Kikino, to illness, and grew up constantly compared to her.

In the previous loop, she performed the god-descending ritual despite lacking the proper aptitude, and the backlash left her half-awake—drifting through life in a haze.

This time, she awakened properly as the Yin Princess, choosing to live with real, human emotions.

Back then, she’d been more of a background supporter than a true companion—barely even a teammate.

Her twin, Kikino, had been a genius shrine maiden, hailed as the “second coming” of the original.

Kokono adored her endlessly.

But losing that other half of herself left a hollow void she could never fill, so she threw herself into training—crushed under the weight of everyone’s expectations.

Thanks to that, her skills as a shrine maiden ended up top-tier.

Now, Kokono’s real story was just beginning—her independence was finally starting to bloom.

Her weapon: an iron fan. Surprisingly packs a solid punch.

Her main role: buffing allies through dance, though she’s still learning to toss in a few ghostly debuffs via spirit communion.

Honestly, she looked like she could headline her own lewd RPG. Part 3.

She was supposed to be an innocent, mystical shrine maiden… but that outfit of hers? Definitely designed to flash teasing glimpses of armpits and back.

● Holy Armor Flora

Had a will of its own.

And zero sense of personal space.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Thank you so much for reading up to this point!

What you just finished was the Character Intro & Volume 01 Recap—

And don’t worry, the story’s still got plenty more to come!

When I’m writing, I usually decide when to wrap things up based on when the characters have “found themselves.”

The big world-ending stuff? That’s usually just background noise compared to their personal growth.

This time, my plan was to end once Haruya’s personality and “main character aura” were firmly in place—y’know, like one of those superhero movies where the credits roll right after the hero finally says their name out loud.

But in Haruya’s case… yeah, the guy had been showing off his personality (and other things) loud and clear since page one.

So I kept asking myself—

Where’s the clean break for his story?

In the end, I figured the best stopping point was when he finally closed the emotional (and maybe physical) distance with the heroines, and truly became one of their companions.

Thanks to all of you, so many readers have been following along!

There are still a bunch of things I haven’t explored enough—like the deeper bonds between the party members, and that whole goddess Flora subplot.

(I was planning to bring that up earlier, but the flow didn’t quite work, so I just kept it focused on the team for now.)

And honestly? I still really, really want to keep writing more dumb, silly, over-the-top stories with these idiots.

So yeah—

The ridiculous adventures of the Masturbation Lovers’ Club will keep going for a while longer!

Thank you all so much for the comments, support, and even gifts!

I don’t always reply one by one (I’m super slow at responding, and it eats into writing time), but I do read every single one with a huge smile on my face!

Since the story’s content is what it is, a lot of the comments end up being like, “…Wow, that’s pretty intense, huh?”

But honestly? I love reading them!

I’m the kind of person who laughs my way through ASMR reviews and eroge reviews, so those spicy comments are my bread and butter.

Seriously though—why are lewd-related reviews always packed with so much style and wit?

Now then, about my writing pace from here on.

I can usually go full throttle for about 150k characters nonstop.

After that, if I don’t pump up my “input”—reading, watching, absorbing new stuff—my writing energy starts running dry.

So while I’ll keep writing, I’m also going to spend more time on “input.”

That probably means the daily updates might get interrupted every now and then.

I’ve still got a little bit of stock piled up, but to keep things fun and fresh for you all, I’ll probably take a day or two off here and there.

If that happens, I’ll give you a heads-up first—thanks a bunch for your understanding!

And seriously, thank you so much for reading all the way up to this point!
