What If the Strongest Villain from the Original Story Became the Protagonist's Ally? - Chapter 16 - Predicament?, and Just the Two of Us
Yuguram-kun, age 15. Being a virgin, he took Iris’s invitation to mean that.
“How far… what do you mean?”
“That kind of meaning.”
“I don’t understand.”
“Physical relations.”
“Physi—!?”
Iris turned bright red.
Heh heh heh… You’re quite innocent too. To have such an excessive reaction just from hinting at such acts.
“Isn’t Iris too inexperienced?”
“Yuguram-sama’s face is also bright red though.”
“Of course I’m embarrassed!?”
“Are you getting defensive!?”
“I’m a virgin, you know!? I don’t even have experience dating women, so how am I supposed to take this seriously…!”
Unfortunately, neither Yuguram himself nor I had any experience with women. Because in the Empire, he was feared. Or revered as a Child of God.
He himself was also seeking power, so he’d never shown interest in romance. However, with my personality coming to the surface, I was now belatedly panicking about being a virgin.
“V-v-v…”
“Sound effects?”
“No! Because you’re an inexper—virgin but you think impure thoughts, you embarrass yourself!”
“Virgin, yeah.”
“Be quiet.”
Sorry. It was just too amusing to tease you a little… When you see someone more embarrassed than yourself, anyone can calm down.
“Anyway! I didn’t invite you with the intention of doing those kinds of acts! I purely… want to… yes! I want to guide Yuguram-sama around.”
“Guide?”
“I’ll guide you around the royal capital! Yuguram-sama only knows the Empire, right?”
“Well, the Empire was pretty rigidly closed off. I’ve never been outside once.”
“Then please let me guide you around the royal capital. There’s nothing I don’t know!”
Iris puffed out her chest. It swayed through her clothes with a bounce. I stared.
“So… you’ll also guide me through the nightlife district.”
“I’ll kill you.”
“I’m sorry.”
Iris turned genuinely murderous eyes toward me. I reflexively apologized.
“To begin with, Yuguram-sama, you’re the same age as me, right?”
“Fresh 15 years old. I’m in the middle of my glorious adolescence.”
“That’s lame. And if a 15-year-old child was walking around the nightlife district, they’d get arrested.”
“Hah. Didn’t I tell you before? No one can arrest me.”
“You got arrested immediately after coming to the royal capital… Thanks to whom did you avoid going to jail?”
“I was in your debt on that occasion…”
I thought I messed up there too.
“Mm, Papa.”
Tug tug My clothes were pulled during my conversation with Iris.
When I looked down, Nana was calling me.
“What is it, Nana?”
“Date, I want to participate too.”
“Oh ho? Seeking a love triangle, quite the aggressive one. I don’t hate it.”
“Please don’t lead young girls down strange paths.”
“You should let cute girls travel, as they say.”
“Unnecessary knowledge is poison. Actually, Yuu-san is poison.”
“Isn’t that harsh?”
“It’s the truth, isn’t it? …Besides, if she’s there, it won’t be a date…”
Mumble.
Iris said something.
“Hmm~? Does Iris-dono want to go on a date with me alone~?”
“I’ll kill you.”
Swoosh.
“That’s dangerous!?”
A sword passed right in front of me.
A few centimeters off and it would have hit. Even if it had hit, a real sword wouldn’t hurt me.
“Your comebacks have been violent lately! It’s only because it’s me…”
“I’m doing it precisely because it’s Yuu-san. It’s special, you know?”
“Wow, that’s not a happy kind of special at all.”
Did she mistake me for a self-operating punching bag?
“Just… p-please… go on a date with me.”
“Iris…”
I could feel shame and genuine feelings coming from her. I really shouldn’t keep making fun of her forever. I placed my hand on Nana’s head,
“It’ll be another time with Nana.”
I’d put her request off for another time.
“Mm, can’t be helped.”
“I’ll let you live it up with Iris’s money, so endure it.”
“Yes.”
“…Well, that’s fine, I suppose.”
Iris seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but since her proposal went through, she wouldn’t get angry. Somehow, I felt like she was soft on Nana.
“By the way, what do we do on a date? Sightseeing in the royal capital?”
“That’s right. If I’m guiding you, sightseeing would be best. Is there anywhere you’d like to go?”
“The night—”
“Anywhere except the nightlife district.”
“…Nothing in particular.”
“You became blatantly cold… It’s me who’ll be with you, you know? Don’t ask for more than that!”
She pointed her index finger at me.
“That’s true… please pay for everything, Iris.”
“Speaking of which, Yuguram-sama, don’t you have any money?”
“Hah. Don’t underestimate me. I properly stole plenty of treasure from the treasure vault when I left the imperial capital!”
I was storing it in some kind of mysterious dimensional pocket. Emergency savings.
“Then please pay for it yourself…”
“Now, now.”
There might come a time when I need a lot of money, right?
Maybe.

Umm it’s just the MC who acts this way; I don’t know why he keeps on acting like it’s normal for a virgin 15-year-old. Also, didn’t he say he was basically an old man mentally?
