I’m the Only Male Knight in a Chastity-Reversed World, and When I Enrolled in a Female Knight Academy, I Somehow Got Treated Like a Hero — Dominating with an Unparalleled Skill That Makes Me Stronger the More Sex I Have - 31

Chapter 31: The First Mission

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

The matter with Besty-sensei was settled without any issues.

She was a teacher at the Knight Academy, and as such, possessed a vast amount of magical power. It would be a great help to be able to obtain magical energy from her whenever I ordered it from now on. Furthermore, by using her as a pawn, it would be easier to navigate the politics within the academy. As a result, the situation had turned out to be nothing but beneficial.

It was during a time when I was leading a peaceful academy life after the battle with Besty-sensei that a certain problem arose.

“Haaaaaaaaaa…”

In the classroom during break time, there was one person letting out a sigh deeper than the ocean.

“What’s wrong, Berga? Did something happen?”

I spoke to the source of the sigh.

“…Kreto, huh. It’s fine. It’s nothing.”

“But your face looks haggard.”

“I always look like this.”

Berga tried to act tough and hide her weakness. Then…

“Nee-san is in the middle of a major financial crisis.”

Frau explained in her stead.

“Her usual spending habits have caught up with her, and her wallet is currently empty. Even though there are still more than ten days until the end of the month.”

“Frau! Don’t go blabbing about that!”

“Nee-san treats people to things too much.”

“I’m the older one, so it’s only natural for me to pay!”

“What are your true feelings?”

“…I want to show everyone that I’m reliable.”

“If the result is that you’re stuck in a financial bind, it’s quite pathetic.”

“Ugu…”

“Though, I do love that reckless side of you, Nee-san.”

Frau showed off her affection. As expected of a severe siscon. However, the situation was not good.

While dinner could be eaten for free at the dormitory, breakfast and lunch were basically paid for out of pocket. Considering the activity level at the Knight Academy, one’s body wouldn’t hold up on a single meal a day. On top of that, one had to cover daily necessities and equipment maintenance. Considering all that, she wouldn’t last until the next Gil distribution day.

“If you’re okay with it, I can lend you some money.”

I received ten thousand Gil every time I did it. To be honest, I had Gil to spare. Berga was a friend. If she was in trouble, I wanted to reach out and help.

“…Thanks. But I’ll pass.”

“Why? Is it because it’s money obtained through dirty means?”

“Idiot. It’s not like that.”

Berga laughed it off.

“We’re friends, right? If I borrow money from a friend, we won’t be equals anymore.”

I see. So that was it.

“I was told the same thing. She said she couldn’t do something as pathetic as borrowing money from her little Nee-san…” 

Frau said, looking obviously troubled by it. 

“However, it’s all well and good to be stubborn, but what are you going to do about money?”

“…T-that is…”

Berga was at a loss for words.

“Maybe I’ll just endure it with pure willpower…”

“That’s a bit too much of a ‘spirit over matter’ argument.”

“How about taking on a mission?” 

I suggested.

“A mission?”

“I heard that if you accept a mission posted on the academy’s bulletin board and complete it successfully, additional Gil will be distributed as a reward.”

“Ah. Now that you mention it, there was a system like that.”

Berga said as if she had just remembered. The first-year students were so busy keeping up with their daily classes that there were almost no students with the extra energy to take on missions, with only a few exceptions.

“Alright. Let’s go accept one right away.”

“Unfortunately, you can’t do that.”

Frau spoke to stop her.

“To accept a mission, you need to form a team of four. You can’t go on a mission by yourself, Nee-san.”

“Eh? Seriously?”

“That’s why I didn’t tell you about the missions, Nee-san. Two more third wheels would end up joining us in the space meant for just you and me.”

“You…”

Berga looked exasperated.

“However, considering Nee-san’s financial situation, we can’t be choosers. We should go on a mission even if it means bringing third wheels along.”

Frau said that, and then…

“…Besides, if it’s Kreto-san, it’s a bit more tolerable. He showed me a side of you I’d never seen before, Nee-san.”

She must have been talking about what happened the other day.

“…D-don’t remind me so much.”

Berga said while blushing.

“Unlike lending money, completing a mission has benefits for us as well. This way, we can maintain an equal relationship.” 

I said to change the subject.

“In that case, we need one more person.” 

Berga said.

“Basically, everyone else seems reluctant about missions. They’re likely too busy with their daily classes and training.”

“Someone talented enough to have the leeway for missions, huh…”

Berga put her hand to her chin and was lost in thought for a while. Then, as if suddenly getting an idea, she turned her gaze toward one student.

“Then how about her?”

“Sophia-san? Certainly, she might be suitable.”

“I thought she’d be perfect since she’s Kreto’s roommate.”

“Since we don’t interact with her, she might be wary of us. She seems to have a difficult side due to being so straight-laced. So, Kreto-san, could you go talk to her?”

“Alright. I’ll go negotiate with her.”

I walked up to Sophia.

“…Do you need something?”

She was incredibly on guard. Far more than Berga or Frau.

“We’re short on people to accept a mission. I want to borrow your strength.”

“I refuse.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re there.”

She hated me intensely. Well, that made sense. I had only said and done things that would make her hate me.

Should I step down and have Berga, Frau, Sophia, and someone else go? But the other classmates didn’t see me as an equal. I didn’t think I could gather enough eccentrics who would be willing to team up with me in the future. I had to seize this opportunity somehow.

“I see. You really do hate me, don’t you?”

“Considering your daily behavior, I think it’s only natural.”

“Speaking of which, lately, you seem to be doing something or other in the middle of the night.”

“…Hah? What are you talking about?”

“You seem to be making quite a bit of progress with your self-pleasure. And using me as the material, no less.”

“Y-you noticed…!?”

Sophia turned beet red. She took the bait.

“The frequency has been increasing lately, hasn’t it? Seems you’re quite pent-up, huh?”

“…………Abababa.”

“While I’m at it, should I tell everyone in class? If I do, they might feel a sense of closeness to you.”

“~~~~~!?”

“Well then. I’ll go ahead and spread the word right away.”

“I-I understand! I understand! I’ll go with you! I’ll go!”

Sophia grabbed my sleeve and pulled me back with a desperate intensity.

“I appreciate you being quick to understand.”

I smirked. Having finalized the negotiation, I returned to Berga and Frau.

“Oh. He’s back.”

“How did it go?”

“We successfully got her to accompany us on the mission.”

When I said that, the sisters let out sounds of admiration.

“I guess being roommates really does make a difference.”

“I look forward to working with you.”

“…………”

Sophia was glaring at me with clear hostility. At the very least, it was not the gaze one would direct at a friend.
