Chapter 189
◇◇◇
The various incidents surrounding the Sealed Domain and subsequently the Sealed Dungeon, which began when the Sword of Affirmation was unsealed, have been completely resolved thanks to Yamada’s selfless efforts despite the risks to himself.
This story takes place two days after Yamada himself returned from his battle with Ainika, only to collapse unconscious from his deep wounds.
◇◇◇
He awakens to a pleasant languor.
Yesterday, he had taken four obedient women as partners, releasing copious amounts of his essence into them.
This was what constituted catharsis for Ryūgūin Ouji.
Of the women he had shared his bed with, two are awake preparing breakfast, while the other two are still in the realm of dreams, using Ryūgūin Ouji’s arms as pillows.
「Wake up.」
When the Hero irritably moves the two women aside, they apologize with 「Oh! We’re so sorry!」 and hurriedly get up from the bed.
「Really now. You people are truly—」
He runs his fingers through his hair and lets out an exaggerated sigh.
「Even if our activities together were pleasurable, how appropriate is it for you to wake up later than me? I am the Hero, humanity’s savior. Even children know this much.
Yet here you are, your heads filled with nothing but thoughts of our activities. Are you two not humans but female cats or something?」
He crosses his legs stylishly on the bed, like a male idol being featured in a women’s fashion magazine. Just then, breakfast is brought in.
「You should learn from them. Yes, you two did well.」
He stands up, flashing his white teeth, and gives the two who prepared breakfast a kiss on the cheek as 「a reward,」 gently patting their heads. While patting, he grabs a lock of hair, brings it to his face, and inhales deeply through his nostrils.
「You smell lovely.」
When he praises her, the woman blushes.
「Thank you so much! Ah! The Hero praised me!!」
Then the woman next to her:
「Waaah! I’m so jealous! Hero! That’s not fair! Not fair! I helped make breakfast too!」
She grabs the arm of Ryūgūin, who is the Hero, demanding praise for herself as well.
「Haha! That’s right! Sorry about that, you did well too!」
Saying this, Ryūgūin suddenly embraces her and buries his face in her neck. He sticks out his tongue and shakes his head slightly, savoring her skin.
「How’s that? The taste of my reward!!」
Nobody points out that he was the one doing the tasting.
Instead, the two women who had just been scolded by Ryūgūin for oversleeping apologize in unison.
「」Hero, we deeply apologize! So please, please, show us mercy…「」
When Ryūgūin hears their pleading voices, his expression becomes like someone drinking ice-cold beer with a parched throat.
「Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh! This is it!! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!」
From here, Ryūgūin becomes even more excited.
He spreads both arms wide open and shouts in a singing voice.
「Excessive stress comes with being a Hero—God is watching over me!! This is truly the divine cleansing of the soul that God has granted!!」
When he turns to the four with an expression that says 「Right?」, they each shower Ryūgūin with praise.
「As expected of our Hero!」
「No one else could compare!」
「Master Ryūgūin is truly the Hero who protects the nation and saves the world!」
「Your very presence is like that of a once-in-an-age hero!」
Among the waves of praise being thrown at him, Ryūgūin doesn’t miss the last one.
「What did you just say?」
「Um, I said ‘like that of a once-in-an-age hero’—」
Ryūgūin puts on an important expression and, with the annoying air of a quiz show host, very slowly opens his mouth.
「That’s it! You! ‘Ryūgūin Ouji, the Once-in-an-Age Hero’! Doesn’t that have a wonderful ring to it!」
At that moment, as if sensing his excitement, all four women present break into thunderous applause for Ryūgūin.
「By the way, have you all heard my story yet?」
「Eh, which story?」
One of the women asks in response to Ryūgūin’s question.
「What’s this, you don’t know? Hah! Well, perhaps it would be beyond the understanding of barbarians from such a backward world.」
He maintains an air of self-importance with every action.
Not finding this annoying at all, the women humble themselves, excessively flatter him, and happily receive his scolding.
「Well, fine. I’ll tell you. Information is as valuable as gold, you know. In my world, there’s even a saying that ‘those who control information control the outcome.’」
「Wooow! Amazing!」 「Woow! That’s incredible!」 the four women exclaim one after another.
Further pleased by this, Ryūgūin continues his lecture.
「That’s why from now on, you too must strive to obtain information as quickly as possible. But this time is special. I’ll tell you what happened.」
「Please tell us! We beg you!」
His excitement level isn’t just skyrocketing—it’s climbing up a waterfall and about to reach the end of a rainbow. He strikes what he considers to be his coolest pose (by Ryūgūin’s standards), somewhat reminiscent of the Para Para dance that was popular in the early 2000s, and slowly opens his mouth.
「Well, to put it simply, I conquered the Sealed Dungeon.」
