Chapter 294 Part 2
Chapter 294: As I thought, this castle seems to be haunted by middle-aged men. Part 2
Omui-sama is engaged in a matrimonial quarrel, but he seems to be at great disadvantage, almost on the verge of crying. He apparently heard that Murimur-sama was fighting in vanguard and went to scold her for taking such risks, but then Haruka-kun tattled on him, telling about Omui-sama performing charge attacks at monsters. He was doing that again…
「「「「Toast to Shino clan.」」」」
「「「「Hail to the Frontier Army~!」」」」
(Jiggle Jiggle~!)
Everyone is praising each other, hugging, crying, and congratulating. Haruka-kun resolutely stated that he doesn’t want any hugs from middle-aged men or aunties and is frantically running around from them, even making free use of 『Clone』 for that. But is it bad manners to run on walls and ceiling? He should have injuries all over his body, but he appears very lively.
He is really not being honest.
But he can’t honestly celebrate. He alone is still lamenting the errors. While the result was fine, even Haruka-kun’s failsafe plan wasn’t good enough. The Frontier should’ve failed. If Omui-sama didn’t make it in time, if Royal Girl didn’t participate, if that mysterious beauty didn’t appear and help, if Stalker Girl and her father didn’t risk their lives to hold back the stampedes, if Oda-kun and others didn’t launch Slime-san, if Adventurers and townsfolk didn’t join as reinforcement, if the Church had at least one more trick, it would’ve been destroyed. Everything merely happened to go just right, so he is still lamenting his failure.
And that’s why he is a big idiot. Even if everything went well only by chance, it was him who created that chance. Such a miracle was possible only because everything that he was working on until now (cards) came together to make a winning hand. And the one who did that is the super lucky Limit-Breakingly softhearted contrarian, who is regularly cheating possibilities , betting all in on luck, a fake villain who obstinately refuses to give up on happiness! That’s why it’s a lie that he could’ve done it! There is no way he would fail to grasp happiness! That’s why everyone came here.
After all, as long as the chance is not zero, Haruka-kun can do something about it. And he worked so hard to prevent it from becoming zero. That’s why he should be honestly celebrating, it’s unforgivable that he doesn’t celebrate after working so hard!
But he seems to be enjoying himself?
Aah, so there was a problem that only Shield Girl got a bra with air pads, and also that only culture clubs’ girls got thongs. That’s one error with 0 percent chance of survival. Highschool girl bodypile 3rd impact [1] has occurred. He managed to suppress stampedes from nine different dungeons, but is on the verge of happily dying from being squished by highschool girls stampede, triggered by a demand for bras with air pads? Well, he seems happy and content with it, so I guess it’s fine? After all, I’m participating too? Swallowed by the bodypile of lightly-dressed highschool girls that complying with safety standards for injured Haruka-kun’s sake doesn’t have anyone wearing combat equipment, he has finally fallen asleep. Just a very happy “corpse”-san.
Then, taking up the bath for ourselves we are holding a Girls-only meeting there..
「「「「Whooa. So sexy! And enviable!」」」」
The mysterious pretty girl joined us too. A short while ago she was deep in talk with Angelica-san, seemingly hitting it off, or rather is she Angelica-san’s fan? She was really happy getting a handshake.
「Delicious. Food and sweets. Tamed.」
She is already brimming with desire to be Tamed. The amber-like skin on her slender, yet soft hands and feet, appears very seductive splashed by bath water. It seems like this mysterious beauty with oriental appearance and expressionless look has already been domesticated with food. And she seems to have joined the crepe faction. The Manju faction is currently losing, being put at a disadvantage by its inferior numbers.
「Toned yet soft, the silk skin has a texture of well-trained body beneath it, aaah.」
The otherworldly beauty with Cleopatra-san’s lovely look is Nefertiri-san. An immortal mummy, a dancer, and a warring shrine maiden, who possesses titles of Holy Knights, Great Sage, and Heathen Saint. At the moment Princess Shariceres is washing her all over in a great excitement. That alluring figure… Looks like in addition to Angelica-san ONE MORE SET we also need Nefertiri-san’s DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION! She is already bombarded with requests, I’m going to apply too! I mean, she has an amazing waist-line! And her buttocks are tight and lifted up, but there is a supple and plump feeling to them, a sensual, enchanting, and tempting gorgeous body.
Will Haruka-kun be able to welcome the morning tomorrow? Angelica-san is already making plans to thoroughly violate and ravish Haruka-kun together with Nefertiri-san, having a nasty look on her face. Nefertiri-san too seems to be very motivated to fall to Haruka-kun’s Taming while also being very motivated about assaulting him, being fully on board with Angelica-san’s plan.These two transcendent beauties with ultimate proportions coming at him together… A team far more dangerous than 40,000 middle-aged men was just formed.
「Mistress. Number two. Legal wives, please treat me well.」
「「「「……Legal wives?……And a mistress, huh.」」」」
Looks like she is in a monster category, just like Angelica-san? And as we expected, just as usual, she also got saved by him. Being put by the Church into『Collar of Subordination – a collar that forces into obedience』, she was locked inside a dark and narrow coffin all the time. And at the time she was woken up, it always meant massacre. On the orders of the Church, regardless of her own will, she was hurting people that opposed it. And she was finally released from that. She finally became able to act on her volition. That’s why she asked to be killed. She kept wishing for death all this time, so she ended up asking for it.
But she got unlucky with her opponent.
He wouldn’t hear that wish. It wouldn’t be granted no matter how much one wishes for it. After all, he is egoistic and astoundingly selfish walking arrogance, a tyrannical savage when he stands, a memory-lacking inhuman when he sits, his walking figure is exactly that of a rampaging demon. That’s why he is definitely not going to acknowledge such a request. He won’t permit, he won’t tolerate, he won’t grant it, and the only future such a wish holds is being eternally crushed to pieces in a hell of massacred middle-aged men. After all, he is a serial destroyer of misfortune.
That’s why she was saved. Presented with a mountain of food and sweets the likes of which she never seen before, she was preached, persuaded, and brainwashed with the idea that as long as she lives she will still have lots of delicious stuff and many happy moments, and if she lacks for it, then why not just plunder it from somewhere? He went and did it again.
This time the target had enough learning ability not to fall for 『Taming』, but she herself seems to have fully fallen for food and is very motivated to end up 『Tamed』. It’s only obvious that after being saved from such despair she’d want to follow him, but unable to notice the most obvious things he is probably panicking about what to do, seeking advice from Slime-san and getting jiggles in response.
After all, he didn’t order her. She was afraid that made unable to resist an order, she was going to end up in the same situation as with the Church, when she would end up having to kill someone against her will. Without making any orders he instead asked her 『Could you help me for three crepes? Dungeons are overflowing and the Frontier is in a super big pinch, and we are super short on people, so I’m willing to borrow even a cat’s hand,[2] or rather paw, but if I do borrow it, I’m not giving it back, nyan? Well, that’s how it is, as a contingency fee I will also add all you can eat feast?』. He earnestly pleaded with someone he could force to obey with a single order. He was panicking and desperate, but even so, he didn’t make an order. That’s why she could believe him.
That’s why she chose to follow him for five crepes. That’s two up from the initial offer, so her Girl Power has to be high!
Moreover, both Angelica-san and Slime-san don’t require food or sleep, they can survive without them on Magical Essence and mana. However, it’s merely not required, but both of them enjoy having delicious food daily.
But Nefertiri-san never received any food, since she didn’t require it.
Meanwhile, Haruka-kun, while being aware that it’s not required, still chose to offer her a feast, without much care about the necessity, rather, it’s like he did it precisely because it was not necessary. He actually told her to just wait while eating delicious stuff, without trying to attach any conditions to it. And Nefertiri-san, without being ordered anything, went out and caught the remaining archpriests by herself. There is no way she wouldn’t get attached to him after he went so far! He even made strawberry crepe-san for her!
Nefertiri-san must’ve been astonished and moved, while for us it’s just how it is. After all, there is not a single person under Taming that ever received an order from him. He is always asking, pleading, negotiating, luring with sweets, apologizing, and getting scolded, but he never made an order. Haruka-kun is a master that never gave an order to anyone. That’s why everyone trusts him.
He is probably still asking Slime-san for advice on what to do, but it’s too late for that? Everything is too late by now, after all, Haruka-kun’s infection keeps spreading from the Frontier to The Kingdom in an ever growing pandemic. No one is going to consider giving up now. It’s way too late for any of that? Everyone will gladly follow him. After all, they trust him and strive after him? Everyone already learned about not giving up?

[1] Third Impact is a cataclysmic event occurring during The End of Evangelion after being anticipated throughout Neon Genesis Evangelion.
[2] Japanese Idiom: “Wanna Borrow a Cat’s Hand”. Figuratively, it means ‘extremely busy’ — so busy that you’re grasping at cat’s paw, which isn’t going to be of much help (totally useless).
