“Hal-sama, she has awakened, but she hasn’t fully recovered yet. Please keep your conversation with her brief, so as not to strain her. Everyone else, please step back and stay quietly by the wall.”
“Tirna, I understand.”
“Yes, thank you, Tirna.”
I nodded in understanding at Tirna’s explanation, and Ly-chenne agreed.
However, the hallway was becoming greatly congested with the Party Members of ‘Princess Harem’ and Alicia, who had joined as an observer.
*Clatter, creak*
And so, we opened the poorly fitted door as quietly as possible and slipped through into the guest room where the girl we rescued was sleeping.
Then, out of consideration for the patient, lest we startle her, we removed the masks shaped like Valkyries and revealed our faces.
Although, she might be surprised by the sheer number of us.
In truth, I had wanted to limit the number of people visiting…
As they were an exceptionally curious bunch, I foresaw a difficult situation arising over who would get to meet her.
As Tirna explained, there seemed to be no other option but to ask them to be quiet.
The girl seemed to be peacefully dozing in her bed, under the covers.
Her light blue hair was neatly tied, and her complexion had improved significantly.
This was only to be expected, given that Tirna had been caring for her non-stop.
Even the mighty ‘Healing Magic’ couldn’t instantly heal the weariness that had become chronic.
Of course, the wounds etched into her body had been healed, and the malicious curses had been dispelled with the precious cooperation (?) of the Holy Spirit Serena.
Furthermore, for her physical transformation, a secret medicine from the Wyell Harem had been useful.
What she needed now was a nutritious meal and ample rest.
“How are you feeling?”
“—…Who on earth are you?”
As I spoke, her eyelashes flickered, and then her beautiful bluish-gray eyes met mine.
She was unconscious when I treated her, so this was the first time I had seen the color of her eyes.
Indeed, she was a beautiful girl, just as Tirna had described.
“My apologies. My name is Hal Harem Von Raymond.”
“Could it be… are you a noble of the Espana Imperial Kingdom, Raymond-sama?”
“I am a traveling merchant and adventurer. For certain reasons, I have been ennobled as a First-Class Quasi-Noble by the Espana Imperial Kingdom. By the way, the women behind me are my reliable companions.”
To answer her question, I took out the insignia of a First-Class Quasi-Noble that I had kept in my pocket and showed it to her.
The girl seemed to understand the special status of a quasi-noble, as she nodded in understanding.
“I… see. Raymond-sama, you are a very capable person. My name is Myare Popais. Please be acquainted with me.”
“Myare Popais, you say? I think I’ve heard your name before…”
“Raymond-sama, please call me Myale.”
“Then, please call me Hal.”
After the introductions with Myale were successfully completed, I also remembered that I had heard her name from someone before.
I distinctly recalled hearing it.
However, after arriving in the town of Ribidoon, I had been in quite a predicament attending the Demonic Milk Banquet of the Demonic Milk Sect and the Young Chest Festival of the Pure Small Breasts Sect.
As for me, I wanted to forget about becoming a beautiful girl in a ‘costume’ as soon as possible.
As I was thinking about this, I remembered that it was Dodge, the reseller and information broker who had approached us upon our arrival in Ribidoon, who had mentioned her name.
“Ah… Myale-san, you were previously with Baron Shuze Nikolai Von Hylandora, the acting Governor, correct?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
“Then why was Myale-san found collapsed in our carriage?”
“I… defected from Shuze-sama’s service… and was being pursued by the wicked soldiers of the Espana Imperial Kingdom. In the midst of this escape, I was cornered and managed to hide in your carriage.”
“So that’s what happened… Were your severe wounds caused by the Espana Imperial Kingdom soldiers’ lynching?”
“I apologize for showing you such an unsightly sight after you saved me.”
“No, no.”
“By the way, the wounds on my body were truly severe. But, as Tirna-sama taught me, I heard that they were healed with precious ‘Healing Magic’. I don’t know how to thank you enough… Those wounds… were inflicted by unknown individuals hired by Shuze-sama.”
“The ones who healed your wounds were a traveling Saintess who happened to be there. If you need anything, please consult me. My companions are very reliable. However… unknown individuals?”
“Yes. It all started when a merchant named Marmo Mamot, who was rumored to be a quasi-noble of the Espana Imperial Kingdom like Hal-sama, began visiting regularly. When Shuze-sama first took office, he was a dandy and a wonderful person… but now he is completely changed, indulging in lust and gluttony.”
“Ho, that’s an interesting story.”
“Originally, I was on a secret mission to observe Shuze-sama, who had been appointed as the acting Governor. This included… though I am ashamed to admit it, seducing him with my charms. However, I fell in love with Shuze-sama, who was righteous and dandy, and truly wanted to help him. But this was considered betrayal, and I was disowned by my family. In the end, I was just a naive girl.”
“From what you’ve told me so far, that mysterious merchant, Marmo Mamot, seems suspicious.”
“Yes, I think so too. That’s why I’ve been working hard to help Shuze-sama return to his former self… but I’ve run out of strength.”
“Is that so? And who gave you the secret orders to act, Myale-san? For example, was it the anti-Espana forces led by the former Ducal House’s Prince Daba Dabat Von Darkhorse?”
“I… dislike Daba. Rather, the people of Waiyar looked down on that Donkey Prince…”
“Pfft.”
Ly-chenne couldn’t help but burst out laughing at Myale’s words.
On either side of her, Liliana and Tirna were also struggling to suppress their laughter.
It seemed that the general populace, including them, shared the same opinion about the former Ducal House Prince being terrible.
However, I thought it would be difficult for a girl to fight alone.
I assumed she had someone supporting her…
However, Myale seemed to skillfully gloss over the matter, as if she didn’t want to be questioned about it.
“…Excuse me. I’m a little tired.”
I couldn’t interrogate a convalescent patient, so I decided to withdraw for today.
“Myale, you must be tired too, so we’ll take our leave. Tirna, please continue looking after her.”
“Understood, Hal-sama.”
And so, we left Myale’s guest room and returned to the conference room.
“Now then, I’d like to confirm with everyone, what should be our next move?”
“From my perspective, I believe it would be best to confirm the movements of Baron Shuze Nikolai Von Hylandora, the acting Governor, and that mysterious merchant, Marmo Mamot, before we act.”
“I agree with Ly-chenne’s opinion.”
“I concur as well.”
When I asked for opinions, Ly-chenne, the party member, offered what seemed to be the most appropriate suggestion at the moment. Elise and Liliana also agreed, so it became our collective decision.
Following Ly-chenne’s advice, we split into two groups and conducted inquiries around the town of Ribidoon, but we couldn’t obtain any new information.
Ironically, the town was abuzz with discussions about the cult leaders we had dealt with, and it wasn’t in a state where people could be questioned about other matters.
We still had the option of confronting the former Lord’s Mansion, with me or Alicia revealing our identities. However, there was a high possibility that someone controlling the lesser demons behind the cult leaders was involved.
With Swan Hilda, our strongest asset, unavailable, we didn’t want to provoke the demons carelessly.
And then, several nights later.
As I was brooding about the lack of useful information, someone knocked on the door of my guest room.
*Knock, knock, knock*
“…Hal-sama, are you awake?”
“Um… is that Myale-san’s voice?”
“Yes… May I come in?”
“The door isn’t locked, so you can come in.”
In truth, I had left it unlocked because I was expecting someone for night duty.
*Creak, groan*
“My apologies for intruding so late at night.”
“Myale-san. Are you feeling better?”
“I haven’t fully recovered yet, but I can stand and move. I am very grateful to Tirna-sama for helping me with my rehabilitation. I have come tonight because I have a favor to ask of Hal-sama.”
“Standing must be difficult. Please, sit down on that chair.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
And so, Myale sat down on the chair I indicated.
Myale was wearing a pastel green negligee, with a black cape draped over it.
The cape was knee-length, with elegant black lace fabric sewn onto the hem.
However, the negligee itself appeared to be thin, sheer fabric, but the cape concealed it completely.
It was likely something from Elise’s Item Box or something Kirika had made.
“So, what is this favor you wish to ask?”
“The favor is… I want you to somehow restore Shuze-sama to his former self. Tirna-sama… advised me that Hal-sama might be able to help.”
“Actually, we have our own reasons for investigating, but we haven’t gathered much information, and it’s proving difficult.”
“Is… that so? Have you been to the former Lord’s Mansion?”
“No, we don’t believe we’re at that stage yet. We don’t know the enemy’s strength clearly…”
“I know of a secret passage to the former Lord’s Mansion. I will offer that information as a price for you to meet with Shuze-sama.”
“Hmm… What should I do…”
“Then, I will increase the price. Tonight, please do as you please with my body. This is the only price I can offer in my current state. My body was thoroughly defiled and ugly, but thanks to your healing, it has returned to its original condition. Please, Hal-sama, I beg you.”
Myale was offering herself to me to save Baron Hylandora?
Myale seemed to have a noble and devoted personality.
And I thought.
According to the God of Time, Crouneruia, who manifested in Zwei’s body the other day, I am called the ‘Man of Good Fortune’ in the Divine Realm.
If I embraced Myale here, wouldn’t she be enveloped in good luck?
Besides, if I ejaculated Elixir instead of Semen, she would surely recover completely.
It seemed like a good idea to accept Myale’s proposal.
“Very well. If you are willing to be embraced by me, Myale, I will accept your proposal.”
I accepted with a slightly villainous, arrogant tone.
“Thank you, Hal-sama.”
“I’m sorry, but could you lock the door? Actually… I was expecting someone for night duty afterward.”
“Oh my! I apologize. …However, Tirna-sama has already made arrangements for that. But I will lock it just in case.”
*click*
Myale locked the door and then stood in front of the bed in a formal posture, closing her eyes.
Does this mean Myale is entrusting herself to me?
Certainly, starting to undress suddenly would be a killjoy.
However, she seemed to think that her injuries were only healed to the extent of my ‘Healing Magic,’ and she didn’t seem to expect that she would return to being a virgin.
Well, ‘virgin play’ is a game that only royalty and nobles who can afford rare magic-users capable of healing magic, or wealthy merchants, can afford.
Normally, a lost hymen does not regenerate.
It is reasonable for her to consider her body defiled, but tonight, I will let Myale experience virginity loss.
Thank you for reading.
Episode 48-9, ‘Myale’s Confusion about ‘Virgin Play’ ①’ is scheduled for release at midnight on March 6th.
