Vol 3 Chapter 27: The Flirt and the Team ☆

──The next day. I found myself in the middle of the town with the others.

“Yay, another day out with Shin♪”

“It feels great to finally get outside again!”

“Hey, you two? Don’t forget we’re here for an investigation, alright?”

Fana-san had chosen our group: me, Lena, Nina, and Alice.

Kaguya-san stayed behind at the estate, while the rest of us were tasked with scouting the town.

“So, where should we go?”

“Yeah… We’ve already covered most of the shops yesterday.”

We hadn’t decided on our destination yet.

“Visiting the same places repeatedly doesn’t seem very productive,” Alice remarked.

She was right. Wandering aimlessly wouldn’t accomplish anything either. What should we do?

“The guild didn’t yield much on the first day, but how about going where there are more adventurers?” Nina suggested.

“You mean…?” Lena looked puzzled.

Nina, wearing a smug grin, leaned in and announced confidently:

“──The dungeon.”

Her playful smile was both infuriating and charming.

Acting quickly, we left the town and headed for a nearby dungeon.

This particular dungeon was much busier than the one we visited a few days ago with the Mithril Golem.

The entrance was crowded with adventurers, heavily guarded, and surrounded by stalls catering to them. The bustling activity was akin to a lively marketplace.

“Think we can pick up some useful info here?”

“Yeah! Nice work, Nina!”

“Hehe, told ya!”

As I praised her, Nina puffed out her chest and bashfully rubbed her nose.

With this many adventurers around, we had a good chance of learning something.

“Alright, let’s start asking around!”

Considering the sheer number of adventurers present, we decided it would be more efficient to split up and question people individually rather than moving as a group.

“This makes me nervous… And we’ll be apart from Shin too…”

Fana-san seemed hesitant, her reluctance making her look adorably childlike.

“──Umm, excuse me! Could I ask you something?”

“Hey, you guys! Got a moment?”

“Excuse me, could I trouble you for a moment?”

The girls each approached people in their own unique way. Even Lena, who seemed nervous at first, mustered her courage and stepped forward.

I’m not great at talking to strangers either, but I couldn’t let them outdo me.

“Alright! Umm… excuse me!”

I mustered my courage and called out to a nearby group of male adventurers.

“Huh!?”

“Tch! What do you want, kid?”

“Parading your women around, huh? You little punk!”

“Trying to show off, are ya?”

“Hii! I-I’m so sorry!”

What I received in response were glares filled with hostility and venomous words.

Frightened, I instinctively apologized and fled.

I stopped a short distance away, my heart pounding as if I had just fought a fierce battle. Why does this keep happening?

All I did was ask a simple question, but the malice in their eyes… If I had stayed there any longer, I might’ve been beaten to a pulp.

“What… should I do?”

Even after creating some distance, they continued glaring at me with unrelenting hostility.

Though I’ve dealt with jealous stares before, being surrounded by my female companions, this level of animosity was new and honestly terrifying.

It dawned on me just how envious others might feel seeing me with such beautiful companions.

But I couldn’t let myself slack off while the others were working hard. Steeling my resolve, I moved to a different spot to try again.

“Hey, you there! The swordsman! Got a moment?”

As I wandered, a voice suddenly called out from behind.

I turned around to see two women looking my way. Judging by their demeanor, they seemed slightly older—around Fana-san’s age—and were clearly adventurers.

“M-Me?”

I replied nervously.

“That’s right! I’m talking to you. I saw what happened earlier—rough time, huh?”

The woman who spoke had an easygoing smile and a relaxed tone, making her seem approachable.

She wore a brown cloak that hid her figure, its fabric reaching down to her calves, and held a bow in her hand, marking her as an archer.

“To think someone your age has such beautiful women trailing after him… Impressive.”

The other woman, clad in silver armor and carrying a longsword on her shoulder, exuded an androgynous beauty. Her theatrical manner of speech reminded me of a cross-dressing knight from a play.

“True, true. With so many cute girls, jealousy’s bound to happen, huh?”

“Living the dream, huh? I bet you don’t hate the attention, do you?”

“N-No, haha… That’s not… really…”

Flustered, I stammered, but I couldn’t let this opportunity slip by.

I didn’t know why they had approached me, but they seemed friendly. This was my chance to gather information.

“Umm, actually, I wanted to ask you something…”

“Oh? What is it? If it’s something we can answer, we’d be happy to help!”

“Yeah, what do you want to know?”

Their open and positive responses put me at ease.

“Well, do you happen to know any rumors about this town’s lord?”

“The lord, huh?”

“Sounds like you’ve got your reasons. But hey, instead of talking here, why don’t we move somewhere quieter?”

With that, they began walking toward a less crowded area.

Though I felt a twinge of unease, I decided to follow them, unwilling to miss this chance.

“──This spot should do nicely.”

We arrived at a secluded area in the woods. Surrounded by trees and fallen logs, the place seemed perfect for sitting down.

“Hehe, no need to be so tense. Standing around talking is no fun—go ahead, have a seat.”

The knightly woman reassured me with a princely smile.

“Yeah, yeah. Relax around your big sisters♪”

The cloaked woman’s gentle smile further helped ease my tension.

“Thank you. Well then, excuse me.”

I sat on one of the fallen logs. It was stable, providing a surprisingly comfortable seat.

“Good boy.”

“Now then, we’ll join you too♪”

“──Huh?”

Before I could relax, the two women sat down on either side of me, closing the distance until we were practically touching.

“Uh, um, isn’t this a bit too close?”

“Hm? Not at all, right?”

“Yup, totally normal♪”

My legs tensed as I felt the softness of their thighs pressing against mine. Their proximity was clearly inappropriate.

“But wow, it’s hot today. Not exactly armor-friendly weather, huh?”

“Yeah, it’s soooo hot, isn’t it?”

It wasn’t hot at all. In fact, the shade made it quite cool, but such comments came from either side.

Then came the sound of armor unfastening and the rustling of fabric.

“Wait, wait! What are you two doing?!”

What greeted my eyes were two—or rather, four—bountiful peaks.

Soft bounce♡ Gentle jiggle♡

“What do you mean? Isn’t it obvious?”

“Yeah, we’re just cooling off. Totally normal~♪”

The archer revealed a bikini under her cloak, while the knight stripped down to her undergarments.

The sheer size of their chests, previously hidden beneath their attire, left me stunned and unable to think straight.

“Wait, no! This is wrong! Please, put your clothes back on!”

My flustered protests were completely ignored as they discarded their gear and moved even closer.

“There’s no rule saying adventurers have to dress a certain way, is there? We’re free spirits, after all. Don’t you agree?”

Their seductive voices carried an odd, persuasive weight, making it hard to argue back even though I knew this wasn’t right.

“Mmhmm. And you like it too, don’t you? Come on, wouldn’t it be more fun to just relax and chat like this?”

Their teasing tone was so carefree, as if they were entirely unbothered by shame or embarrassment. It almost made me question if I was the one in the wrong.

“A-Ahh…”

What… What is this?

Who are these two women?

Could they possibly be… what people whisper about in rumors—the legendary chijo?

“There’s no need to hold back. Go ahead, take it all in.”

“Which do you prefer? We’re a bit smaller than your cute companions, but we’re packed with plenty of mature charm~♪”

Their soft, ample breasts swayed boldly on either side of me, deliberately drawing attention but stopping just short of actual contact.

A mix of shame and fascination battled within me. I despised myself for letting my gaze wander toward the alluring sight of these two women I’d only just met, yet I couldn’t suppress the primal part of me that craved more.

“Hehe, you’re blushing. How cute. I must say, you’re exactly my type.”

“Come on, come on~ Let’s have some fun with your big sisters♪”

Their bodies radiated warmth, and a sweet, intoxicating scent filled the air. My focus, already shaky, began to crumble.

(…Training? Right, I’ve trained for this—I’ve endured all kinds of temptations with my stunning companions… I’ve overcome far worse!)

Memories of countless battles, both physical and mental, flashed through my mind:

The times they surrounded me for a four-person pafu-pafu.

The relentless pai-zuri sessions.

The teasing words whispered in baby talk during edge-play.

The ticklish torment that left me writhing and gasping.

Even the unexpected yet unforgettable oppai slap that rattled my senses to the core.

Yes, I’ve withstood all of that for the sake of my companions! I can’t let myself falter here!

Taking a deep breath, I filled my lungs and prepared to make my stand. I had to speak clearly and firmly.

“S-Suuuu… Umm, excuse me! This is inappropriate! Could you please—”

“Oh? Why the sudden outburst?”

“Hmm? What’s the matter?”

Munyuun♡ Funyun♡

The words barely left my lips before their playful responses cut me off, and then I felt it—a soft, warm sensation pressing against my shoulders.

“Hyah?!”

That warm, pliant softness was a force to be reckoned with. Just the mere touch of it caused my resolve to falter and my body to slacken as if enchanted.

I let out a pitiful squeal, my earlier determination already wavering. It was as though my body, conditioned by my companions’ relentless “training,” was already preparing to surrender to the pleasure.

“You’re quite the amusing one. Just a little touch, and look how flustered you are.”

“Ahhh~♡ How cute. Your reaction is just screaming ‘inexperienced,’ isn’t it?”

The knight’s hand wandered downward, gently brushing against the bulge forming in my pants. The rough friction of her touch, even through the fabric, sent a wave of sweet pleasure coursing through me.

“Aww, hanging out with all those cute girls, and yet you’re this innocent? Could it be that you’re still a… virgin~♡?”

The archer’s hands slipped under my tunic, her fingers gliding like serpents over my sides, stomach, and chest, making my skin tingle with sensitivity.

“W-Wha—?! H-How do you know that!?”

They had hit upon my greatest secret, the one I had tried so hard to conceal: my virginity.

Even Mio-san had teased me about it just the other day, and now these two were taunting me with the same observation. My voice cracked as I tried to respond.

“Oh, come on. The way you awkwardly avoid looking at a woman’s body screams, ‘I’m a virgin!’ You might as well wear a sign.”

“Mmhmm. And your shy, jumpy reactions to even the smallest touch? Totally virgin behavior~♪ Oh, and the smell! Yup, that’s definitely the scent of a virgin~♪”

Their words pierced me with a mix of humiliation and embarrassment. What even is a “virgin smell”? I didn’t know whether to be angry, ashamed, or confused. Still, deep inside, a small part of me felt a twisted, guilty thrill at being the center of their teasing.

“And look at you now. Just a few strokes through your clothes, and you’re already reacting like this. Are you sure you’re not some kind of closet pervert too?”

“Hehe~ Your cute little friend here is standing up so straight. Do you want your big sisters to play with it more~?”

Their seductive words and skilled hands only heightened my arousal. My body betrayed me, driven by weeks of frustration stemming from Kaguya-san’s peculiar ninjutsu, which had rendered me incapable of release.

Even the lightest touch was overwhelming, my pent-up desire screaming for relief.

“Well then, how about we help you out and let you relax before we continue our little talk~♡?”

“Don’t worry. We’ll take good care of you… like a prince being pampered by his princesses~♡”

The two women, clearly interpreting my involuntary reactions as consent, began to reach for my waistband. Their practiced hands moved with expert precision, swiftly undoing my clothing with a speed and skill that spoke of far too much experience.
