CH 5.2

◆

The sunlight streaming in through the window was white, and the crisp air seemed to sharpen my dull thoughts. 

Looking out the window, I saw a small orange bird resting its wings on a nearby tree. It cried out in an adorable, sparrow-like voice, which made me feel like smiling as I watched it.

…… Phew, what a pleasant morning.

— Yes. wouldn’t you say this is an appropriate morning to be greeted by for me — the “man who had a threesome for his first time”, a man who has made his entrance into the world of normies?

…………………… Well, okay. Um. 

Except, included with that title–

※Note, the other two guys are much better looking than I am.

※I was basically dead fish (aka salted fish).

※In a sense, I am still a virgin.

–are these caveats!

“……!”

UwAaaah! I, I feel like dying when I remember that!

I lay down on the bed and buried my face in the pillow. 

Uuu, just thinking about it makes me feel so embarrassed! I mean, just how many times did we have sex last night, in the end. I haven’t counted since we passed the fourth time……

I was in tears, begging them to stop, but neither Gazelle nor Felix would let me go. I’m not sure if they thought I was being shy or not……

Ah, I’ve only just noticed how clean my body has become. At some point, they changed my clothes into fresh ones. I don’t remember wiping myself off, so Felix or Gazelle must have cleaned me up after I passed out. …… Uwa, I want to bury myself. I want to be buried and become nothing.

“……hmm, what happened yesterday was probably because of this weapon.” 

I wriggled out of bed and picked up the sword that was propped up on the side cabinet beside me.

It was a uchigatana that had a navy blue sheath with a gold thread cord wrapped around it, taken from the pirate Badrud’s ship.

Yesterday, when I pulled out this sword, I discovered that it doesn’t do what the owner wants it to do and that its top priority is to kill the enemy.

So, based on these characteristics, I’ve decided that this sword is a “cursed weapon”. I believe its title in the game was “Cursed Collection”. 

A “cursed weapon” in the game incurs a disadvantage to its owner in exchange for a great advantage.

Furthermore, the weapons in this series are forced to generate an abnormality, or negative status, after the battle is over or the enemy has been exterminated. That’s what yesterday’s rut was all about. 

It’s probably impossible to recover from a demerit condition with medicine or magic.

Although I haven’t tried to see if it is actually possible to do so, if it’s so easy to recover, it can’t be a demerit. It would be advisable to think that recovery is completely impossible.

If there is no such demerit, there is no explanation for the fact that I, a mere ordinary person, was able to easily cut down a monster by myself. The strength and speed I felt yesterday would never have been possible with my own abilities.

…… Now. I’ve thought this through, but what do I do now? 

Facing the sword, I let out a sigh.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the skills of this sword are more beneficial to me.

It’s a good thing that the disadvantage is that I can’t use it by my own will, because in face of an enemy, I’d can’t help but freeze in fear.

The only real disadvantage is …… the abnormal status that occurs after the battle. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to deal with a forced rut like I did yesterday, but I think I can handle it in the future if I deal with it alone in my room, probably. 

If I can fight in a world where monsters are so prevalent and dangerous, it’s a small price to pay for such a disadvantage.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to return to my world.

I may encounter monsters, so I should carry it with me for insurance.

“…… the original world, huh.” 

I’ve been trying not to think about it too much…….

But I wonder if I’ll be able to go back one day.

No, but… I can almost imagine what that bright red substance on the ground was, that last scene I saw in Japan.

At that time, maybe I was… 

“-…….let’s stop.”

Stop, stop, stop. It’s really better not to think about it. I have a lot of other things I need to think about right now.

For example, how should I face Gazelle and Felix, and how should I apologize to them?

“-……” 

………… Oh crap.

Just thinking about it makes me want to make an escape, to sleep a second time, out of guilt and shame……!

“……All right. First, when we meet them, we should get down on our knees and do a jumping dogeza.”

Yup, this is the only way. 

At any rate, there is no use sleeping. Judging by the state of affairs outside, it seems that the Blackwing Knights are getting up and getting ready to go. …… I should probably get going too…….

“Okay, let’s go. ……”

However–

As I was about to get out of bed, I felt a burst of pain in my lower back that I had never felt before. I crawled down on the floor in a crumbling mess. 

I finally managed to get up, but the discomfort and pain in my lower back continued.

M, my back hurts like crazy. ……!　What the hell is this, why does it hurt like this

……wait, is it maybe because of yesterday!

Uwa, seriously? It’s true that yesterday I was held up by both legs and on my back for a long time, which is a position I’m rarely in. ……wait, uwaaaAah! No, no, stop! Don’t remember it, myself! Ugh, crap. I just started remembering things all over again! 

Yesterday’s experience was embarrassing to death, and I can’t even remember how many times I cried out for them to stop. …… But well, if I had to answer whether it felt good or not, I would say it felt really good.

…… am I going to be okay? It’s not like from now on, normal sex is going to be insufficient for me or anything, right?

Hmm……I’m sure I’m going to get deeper and deeper into a hole if I keep thinking about it, so I’ll stop around here.

Trembling like a newborn fawn, I somehow manage to drag myself out of the inn. 

However, although the members of the Blackwing Knights were outside preparing to leave, I didn’t see Gazelle or Felix.

Hmm…?　As I was thinking, the old hostess at the inn smilingly said “Good morning” to me. I returned the greeting and asked her about them. The lady politely told me, “It seems that the leaders of the Blackwing Knights are having a meeting on the first floor.”

You two are having a meeting this early in the morning? That must rough.

And I’ve been sleeping soundly while they’ve been busy since this morning. And last night, I let them help me take care of myself…… 

I’m starting to feel even more mortified with guilt!

Okay, I knew it. The first thing I should do is get down on my knees, and do a jumping dogeza. I don’t care if I fall straight to the ground. In fact, how happy I would be if I could become one with the ground and disappear.

As I was recalling this and that from last night, the innkeeper brought me a pitcher of water and a wooden cup, perhaps out of concern for my silent state.

“Is everything all right? I heard you fought with giant floras yesterday, you must be tired.” 

“Thank you very much……”

I took the glass of water and sipped it, feeling beyond touched by the kindness of people.

“Still, I didn’t expect to see giant floras anywhere near here……”

The old lady let out a sigh and looked unhappy. 

“I wonder if the rumors are true after all. About how the demon king’s seal has finally been broken……”

The Demon Lord’s seal? Yes, it seems that it will be broken soon.

If I said something like that, the lady might have a stroke, so I’ll keep my mouth shut.

But well, if the place is so overrun with monsters that a ceremony to summon the heroes is being held, I don’t think the Blackwing Knights would be relaxing in a place like this. I guess the monsters haven’t done that much damage yet. 

That would mean that it’s a long time before the main character is summoned.

Once the protagonist is summoned, he or she becomes friends with the people of the Blackwing Knights through various game events.

But right then, a city is attacked by a horde of monsters, where the Blackwing Knights are forced to fight a siege. With countless monsters attacking, even the Blackwing Knights begin to be overwhelmed.

The protagonist and one of the Blackwing Knights call for help from another order in a nearby city, but they failed to arrive in time…… and the Blackwing Knights perished as a result, in the events in the middle of the game. 

“……-”

That means that one day Gazelle, Felix, and everyone who has been kind to me will die if I don’t do something about it.

But there’s not much I can do about that……

“–So you were here, Takumi.” 

A voice from behind me made my shoulders jump.

Fearfully, I turned around to see Felix, the vice commander of the Blackwing Knights, standing there.
