「I've been thin~king about it a lot. I'm talking about checking out with Philly on one of the hideouts because the old man forced me to do it and I have nothing to gain for myself. That talk, let's pretend that never happened(?)」
I returned alone to the hiding place, and after being greeted by Philly, I sat down with the Elders to discuss the situation. I opened my mouth and told them the truth in a loud voice. And then,...
「...... Wh-What in the world are you thinkiiiiiiing!!!」
Philly, standing next to me, was red-faced and yelling at me.
「Don't make such a loud voice. You were going to get rid of me in the first place, didn't you, and I don't owe you a thing. And the old man Iru left me alone when he was done with his business......and I didn't need to come back here but that's "minimum manners", right? Otherwise, it will cause you trouble.」
「B-But that doesn't mean――」
「I can certainly understand how you feel. But think about it the other way around. If the human side asks you to help them without compensation, would you cooperate with them without asking for anything in return? And if that person is shady and untrustworthy, they will ......」
「That's for sure.」
It was Roselia who muttered with a heavy sigh.
「The atmosphere and the flow of conversation had led to this―Though, I couldn't say anything, because of Danaf-sama's presence. But...」
「Now that old man is gone, I―Or rather, you no longer have to suppress your dislike of the human race. But」
I decided to ask the question I've been asking myself for some time.
「To begin with, what is the connection between you guys and that old man?」
「Danaf-sama is――He's our "savior. It's been more than 150 years ago, though」
「More than 150 years ago!? And with the way you're talking, ...... could it be that the first king is going to be involved?」
「You have good instincts.」
Philly smiles and says
「At that time, we were ...... more like a 'non-human race' that was under heavy oppression.」
「『If you didn't follow us, we would kill you all』――It was a such terrible situation.」
「But it was His Majesty "Mils"-sama, the first King of Hanaria, who tried to change the situation, and it was Danaf-sama who acted as an intermediary, you see」
「............」
I see. I think I'm beginning to get some of the backgrounds. But...
(That old man――He's more of an old man than he looks, or actually, he's a grandpa!? (?))
And just as I thought, he was not a human being.
「Originally we had been living here for a long time, but one day, a large group of humans arrived from beyond the sea.」
「At first we had a good relationship with them, but..」
「Ahh-ahh. One day, suddenly, the human side bared their fangs. That's why you become "Human hater", holed yourself up, and killed each other―but then Mils and that old man Iru urged for "cooperation and rise up," and after all this, the current Hanaria was formed, huh」
I'm not interested in that part of the story ― or perhaps it's more accurate to say that there are so many similar stories in the history of the earth that it doesn't seem new to me.
「What I want to know is, "What are those damn kings thinking and doing?" though」
Well, it's not particularly relevant at this point, and by going all the way back and reporting the situation, I've done my duty at least. I got up silently and was about to leave when...
「Wait. Where are you going?」
「Where―you ask? I'm going back to Hanaria, of course. I know my friends are worried about me, and what the hell that Gorigori was thinking when she left me in the "Great Sea of Trees"? There are so many things I want to know.」
「――I am sorry, but I cannot let you leave here alive.」
The three Elders sat up heavily and began to increase their respective forces.
「After all, otherworlder are too dangerous.」
「You know the location of our village and have connections with that traitor.」
「If left unchecked, you will surely bring disaster.」
As each of them began to speak their own mind, "Good grief", I said and shook my head.
「Haaaahhh!」
I put my force under my belly button and exploded my own force. Immediately,
「Wha!?」
「I-Impossible!」
「Wh-What kind of ...... What kind of force is this!?」
Immediately, the Elders lost their complexion. Moreover...
「Yu-Yuuto. I-In just a few days――what happened?」
Said Philly, the only one who couldn't stand up due to fear.
「Nothing? I was training with the old man――and after all that happened, I just happened to eat one of the female demon races that attacked me」
When I told them honestly, they all fell silent. But.
「You seem surprised, but that's still only half of it, you know? My level is only 23, but my force will soon reach 1,000. But how great is this? I'm not sure, so if you want to fight, I will let you experiment with that.」
「1-1,000――that's more than 20 times more than the average person, though?」
I let out a "hmmm" as Philly explained it to me.
「By the way, I just want you to know that I have no intention of showing any mercy to my enemies. I will kill everyone, no matter who they are. There may be some people that might get caught up in it, but this time it was legitimate self-defense. In addition, there are many women here who have a higher quality force than the average human race――If I eat them all, how strong will I be? I'm really looking forward to it myself, so I don't really care either way.」
I said with a nasty smile, and they all fell silent.
「......That said just so there's no misunderstanding, I'm not looking to kill each other either. Besides, even though I'm like this, I'm a "consensual sex faction". Forcing a woman who doesn't like it......It's not to my taste. It makes me feel bad and it smells like small stuff.」
So, here's the thing ― I'm going to restore my force.
「The original discussion was about helping to investigate the hideout. Oh, that, in exchange for serious cooperation, let me have sex with Philly♪」
As soon as I said it, the air in the room froze.
――And then.
「Wha.....wha.....what are you saying, geeeeezzzzzzz!!!!」
Philly, who was the first to break the ice, yelled at me with a red face as she stood up. But,
「I'm serious, you know? In the first place, given the "reasons and benefits of checking out a hideout," you don't necessarily have to do it―you don't even have to consider it, but you 'intend to do that' because the old man pointed it out, right?」(?)
Conversely, if the old man had done nothing, she wouldn't even have been nominated.
「From a different perspective ― the only reason you had the old man do the research was because you were 'looking for an opportunity to strike back against the enemy". However, the current situation is not going well. In fact, you're doing your best to run and hide, aren't you?」
When I said this, a look of confusion came over the faces of the Elders.
「Even if you do nothing, you are sure to lose ― it is obvious that your village will eventually be discovered by the enemy and you will be annihilated. At this point, who is the "real enemy" and what is their objective? I don't know ― but what are you going to do on a board that is almost deadlocked? Perhaps this will be your "last choice," and you're not so old that you don't know what I mean, are you?」
When I said this, the three of them finally calmed their forces.
「――Let me ask you one thing. What is your 'true desire'?」
Roselia asked me in a hushed voice.
「I want to have sex with all the beautiful women and girls in the village!」
I answered loudly with a delighted smile on my face, and Bando said, "Don't fuck with us!" he yelled at me.
「That's upsetting. Even though I'm just telling you the truth.」
「B-but still――What can I say, Yuuto is the kind of person who thinks like that.」
Said Philly in dismayed.
「Well, it made me realize that there's no point in lying to myself, and I actually like having sex with girls I like♪ I'm thinking of building a harem eventually――Well, that was embarrassing ~~~」
I said, placing my right hand on top of my head, and Philly shouted, "Don't be embarrassed!".
「But what if―what if, okay? I'll give my "everything" to save everyone in the village――No. If I ask you to lend me your help in order to solve the "incident" that is currently happening in Hanaria――what will you do?」
Philly suggested, controlling her wavering emotions with a noble will.
I stared at the expression on her face for a few moments, but...
「――I can't calculate one-half of the balance. Depending on the degree――but I have a feeling it's disproportionate.」
「So that means, that's 'worth considering,' right?」
Because of what was said, I replied, "Yeah," and Philly thought about it for a while.
Then, after making up her mind, she told me,
「Then,...... I'll give you everything I have, so please kill the current King of Hanaria, Joseph Von Hanaria――how about this condition?」
