Jobless Rising! ~I’ve Become a NEET. I Acquired Lewd Skills and Lived a Life of Sex in the Other World and in Japan. Before I Knew it, I Was Impregnating A Harem of Ladies?!~ - Chapter 110: Touya’s Hustle and the Ongoing Crackdown

Chapter 110: Touya’s Hustle and the Ongoing Crackdown

Two days have passed since my fiery resolve with Cui, and I’ve been insanely busy.

The reason’s simple. I’ve been zealously rounding up rebel spies with Erinabel. Not just in the capital, but even nobles in the castle got caught in our net.

Now, interrogations of the captives have everyone swamped. With so many spies nabbed—including nobles—it’s no wonder things are hectic.

“Great work, Touya. We searched Count Karpnara’s mansion and found evidence linking him to the rebels.”

“Oh, nice… Sounds like a tasty name, though…”

Erinabel and I are pretty wiped out.

I mean, these two days have been so busy I haven’t even had sex! Just looking at Erinabel’s face makes me crazy horny!

But her face shows exhaustion too. Two days without sex or proper sleep.

We’re in a castle room now, discussing. These past two days, all the spy busts were under Erinabel’s organization.

Verifying they’re spies, explaining how we knew, and handling castle correspondence piled up, so coming here was faster.

She’s issuing orders to the field while managing detailed exchanges with various parties. Meanwhile, Cui’s eagerly gathering intel around the capital and castle.

“Impressive. Never before have we caught so many spies. Even nobles…”

“Well… glad it’s going smoothly…”

Erinabel’s buried in paperwork, scanning and scribbling. Man, she looks swamped…

“Sigh… I wanna have sex with you, Erinabel… Two days without it…”

“What!? W-What are you saying…!?”

“C’mon, you want it too, right~?”

“Ugh… Uuu…”

A quick blowjob would be nice… but that wouldn’t get Erinabel off…

Nah, I want a long, slow, sticky session…

Just imagining nights with Filmeria or the panties Erinabel’s wearing now gets me hard.

I’m so pent up… My physical prowess feels boosted too.

“Hey, Erinabel, wanna do it here?”

“No way…! Obviously not…!”

“Quick one! It’ll be super fast, I swear! Please!”

“No… It’s not…”

She turns her face away, hands pausing.

Could I push it…!? Then, a knock at the door.

“H-Hyai!?”

‘Excuse me.’

Damn…! Well, yeah, this is a work room, after all…!

A young castle worker opens the door, revealing Avies and Cerialis.

“Avies-sama…!”

“No need to stand, Erinabel. Sorry, are we interrupting work…?”

“N-No…”

Not work, nope!

But these two… Avies being pursued by Cerialis… Can’t look at them the same after that…!

“What brings you?”

“I heard of your great feats. I read your reports too, Erinabel…”

The princess turns her gaze to me. Erinabel nods.

“Yes. The spy busts are thanks to Touya’s efforts.”

“As I thought…”

With all this pent-up lust, maybe I could take Cerialis now. Nah, no way.

My recent resolve makes me picture overpowering Cerialis with my cock. …So hot!

Maybe because Cerialis is here, Avies doesn’t dig into whether my hero powers are tied to this.

“There’s something I wanted you two to know.”

“? What is it?”

“This situation… it’s causing a big stir everywhere. You’ve been too busy to notice, I’m sure…”

Avies shares what’s happening at the empire’s core.

Everyone knew rebels had spies in the capital.

So why couldn’t they act effectively?

Simple. Even if you pinpoint a suspect, others shield them, and gathering evidence to arrest was tough.

“But… if they’re suspicious, why not just nab them?”

This world seems ruled by power and force.

But the empire’s been hesitant to flex its authority.

“It’s possible, of course. But arresting the innocent fuels resentment against the empire. That breeds pro-rebel sentiment… and more spies.”

Seems some folks, even non-rebels, resent the empire.

Probably rumors about the emperor’s character spreading among the capital’s people.

Meanwhile, the younger prince seems like he’s trying to fix this stagnant empire. Could be rebel propaganda, but his rep’s good.

“Such a large-scale sweep was nearly impossible. Yet Erinabel’s group nabbed spies and their bases… even Count Karpnara…”

Basically, without solid evidence, arrests were tough.

A mistake could spark more hate, boosting rebel momentum.

But I changed that. With Cui’s 100% accurate intel, I can nab spies with certainty.

That confidence let us raid bases and search noble mansions without fear of coming up empty-handed.

The empire could catch sloppy agents before.

But the long civil war made agents cautious, harder to catch without slip-ups.

(Erinabel’s spy bust rate is perfect… No wonder the empire’s core is buzzing.)

Normally, catching spies is hard. Doing it in bulk, fast, is nuts. And it’s ongoing.

Erinabel nods, understanding why this is a big deal.

“This is mostly thanks to Touya’s intel-gathering…”

“Yes. But most will see it as your achievement, Erinabel. I hear the Intelligence Department’s quite jealous.”

“The Intelligence Department…”

Ooh… Another chuuni term tickling my heart…!

Makes sense a big empire has that kind of group.

“Here’s the main point. Touya… you might be assigned to the Intelligence Department.”

“…Huh!?”

“What!?”

Whoa, whoa, what’s this all of a sudden…!? Why me…!?

“Of course, it’d require Erinabel agreeing to temporarily freeze your retainer status…”

“Wait a sec…! Why Touya…!?”

Erinabel’s the one raising her voice.

Yeah, no kidding! I’m lost too!

“It’s because…”

“Hold it right there!”

Right then, the door bursts open. The figure stepping in—

“…! L-Lark…!”

“Yo, Touya! My friend… no, my comrade! And Avies, been a while! Oh, and Cerialis and Erinabel too! What’s this, a beauty convention!? Wahahaha!”

It’s Lark, the scruffy-bearded, dull-blonde long-haired guy… or rather, Emperor Aranx of this country.
