Chapter 22 – One Month and a Dazzling Light

I was remembering the events of the past month, and they kept coming up one after the other. That’s how many facilities there are on a luxury liner. There is still time, so let’s take it easy and reminisce.

Adult Nightclub.

The atmosphere here was the same as that of the teen disco. Even the adult nightclub was not suitable for me. Where can I find a disco or club that suits me?

…Maybe it’s useless if I don’t change my mind about it. I don’t think I could get used to that atmosphere if I didn’t have the courage to dance without worrying about it, especially if I had never danced before. The problem is that if I do that here, I feel I will become the standard in this world.

…I’ll let the ladies study the disco-related stuff when disco and other stuff come out on DVD. I’ll look for a book in the library later on about how to have a good time at a club.

Promenade Parade.

We need more people, and I need to summon a large number of Saporabi. The Saporabi has been working well so far, so it shouldn’t be a problem, but I’m stuck on the idea of mass-summoning them in the same area… I have other things to look at, so let’s put it off.

Fitness and Spa

This place was pretty much a winner. The fitness center had a variety of exercise equipment, but I wasn’t really interested. The ladies were having fun trying out all kinds of equipment, but I’d be sad if they became muscular, so please don’t do that if possible.

I’d rather they be satisfied with treadmills or fitness bikes. Please don’t lift barbells that look heavier than people like that so easily, Carla-san.

So far, I regretted coming to this facility a bit, but the spa part was wonderful. When the ladies learned that the various creams and machines on display were beauty-related, they were overjoyed and asked to be appointed as staff.

After gaining their knowledge, the ladies got dressed and happily treated each other. Ines and Felicia offered to give me a treatment, but I declined, as there was nothing I could do to make my skin beautiful.

Is it the application of some unintelligible cream on the face, or is it the vibration? They are doing things I don’t understand, such as applying maracas-like machines to their faces.

I got bored too, so I summoned Saporabi to check the menu, which included a steam sauna, massage, and even needles… I should have asked Ines and Felicia to do this for me. I made the mistake of thinking it was beauty related. I’ll ask them next time.

I’ll ask Saporabi for a massage and needles for now. I changed my clothes and lay down on the table. The table is not high enough for me, so Saporabi prepares another table and massages me slowly.

Phew, this feels good. I’m sorry, Saporabi, I’m sorry I was afraid you might get revenge on me. I fall asleep to the slow massage. I’m in a silly crisis because I fell asleep at this point.

“Ara, you’re awake, Wataru-san.”

Ah, I must have fallen asleep. For some reason, Ilma-san is in front of me. It is stimulating to see Ilma-san when I wake up from sleep. I get up and talk to Ilma-san.

“Ilma-san, is there anything wrong?”

“No, nothing. I came to see how Wataru-san is doing because you are not moving. Saporabi-chan was troubled because you didn’t wake up even though he shook you.”

Was I sleeping that soundly? I guess I was tired. To be honest, I only played around. Tired of playing…? That’s a word that seems to irritate working people…

“Haha, the massage felt so good I fell soundly asleep.”

“Are you tired? I’ll continue the massage for you. Just lie back down.”

Ilma-san said something surprising and a little worried.

“Eh? I’m fine. The effect of the esthetic treatment is amazing, isn’t it? It’s so glossy, Ilma-san.”

I have to say no somehow, or else I’ll have a tent in my crotch… I’ll have to divert the conversation.

“Really? Thank you, Wataru-san. Now, let me give you a massage. You don’t have to hesitate.”

Both of my shoulders are held, and I lie down on my back. I quickly covered my crotch with the bath towel that was hanging over my head, but it was a dangerous position. Moreover, Ilma-san is more glamorous and smells good after her beauty treatment.

“Fufu, staff appointments are wonderful, aren’t they? Not only can I give you massages, but I can also give you beauty treatments.”

Ilma-san is so sexy. She sits by my bedside and massages my head. When I open my eyes, I see her breasts. …I don’t think the tent is going to fit.

It’s a hell of a thing that feels so good. I didn’t know what to do, but I was exposed after all. I’m so embarrassed.

“Ufufu, you’re a boy, aren’t you?”

What a sexy sister. I love her. I was thrilled. Now that I’ve been exposed, I open up and surrender myself to Ilma-san’s massage. I am aware that I look sloppy.

I wonder if it is the difference between the staff appointment and the Saporabi, who can do minimal work, that Ilma-san’s massage is definitely more comfortable than that of the horned rabbit. I also feel that Ilma-san’s massage is quite an added bonus. Steam sauna and needles will have to wait for next time.

I was embarrassed, but the total was positive. Let’s call it a good memory.

Hordes of Monsters

“Wataru-san, can I talk to you for a minute?”

Marina-san, who usually doesn’t change her expression much except when it comes to Fuu-chan and Rimu, looked very uncomfortable. It looks like some kind of trouble.

“Is something wrong?”

“Yes, can you take a look outside?”

Marina-san told me to go out on the balcony and look at the sea. I went out to the balcony and looked at the sea.

“Wataru-san, look down.”

I peeked down from the railing and saw that there were many monsters gathering around. …This is it?

“I understand well. It’s very troublesome.”

Come to think of it, a large horde of monsters swarmed us just like that when we were on the ferry. I had been thinking so much about playing on a luxury liner that I hadn’t thought about the monsters.

I was looking at the ocean on the balcony and in the observation Jacuzzi, but I didn’t bother to look down. When I was soaking in the Jacuzzi on the balcony, I thought I heard the faint sound of monsters, but I didn’t pay attention to it.

So this is the result. It’s such a big ship. I guess a lot of monsters will come close to it.

“Should we defeat the monsters now? Even if we defeat them, they are likely to gather again, so should we defeat them all at once when we leave?”

There’s no danger in defeating the monsters if we’re on the ship, but it’s a hassle to defeat them all over again.

“…Yes, if we leave a large horde of monsters unattended, something unexpected may happen, so it would be better to defeat them.”

…From above, the monsters are cannibalizing each other. It’s like a state of poisoning. No demon king will be born, right?

“For now, it’s hard to see in this room, so why don’t we get together with our equipment on the third deck? Let’s discuss it there.”

We gathered on the third deck to discuss the situation, but the women were so motivated that it felt like a waste of time to discuss it. Is that it? Are they hungry for a fight? It doesn’t look like it’s going to stop.

“Then I’ll summon two Galettes so we can split up and exterminate the monsters.”

I think all we have to do is just attack from the deck of the Castle, but I guess there’s no point in saying that. I’m just too excited to say anything.

“I haven’t sailed the Galette in a long time. I’m looking forward to it!” 

Alessia-san is very excited. Alessia-san, Marina-san, and Ines will be steering the ship, so I’ll have to put the stoppers in place.

Felicia would rather have fun with them, but this time I’ll have her on the side of stopping them. Dorothea-san, Ilma-san, Claretta-san, and Felicia, please be careful not to let the ship-handling lovers go too far out of control.

They will approach the surface of the sea from the ramp, all of them will attack, and I will summon the Galette there. Alessia-san, Dorothea-san, and Ilma-san are the first to get on board. After another attack, I summon Galette No. 2, and we get on board as well.

All we have to do now is to attack while enduring the swaying of the ship. When this is over, we’ll go to the spa. We’ll get massaged, take a steam sauna, soak in the Jacuzzi, and get another massage. Let’s go for it.

After all, we’ve done two more cleanups of the monsters in the space of a month. The Castle, it’s getting a lot of attention from the monsters.

Theater & Aqua Theater.

These two are great, but it’s hard when you don’t have enough staff. I need more personnel for the show. Additional personnel are needed for a satisfying show.

As expected, with only Saporabi, the play looks like a puppet show. The costumes are even more surreal in that they match the play. The large screen in the background shows the background of the play, and it looks quite interesting.

The aqua theater is a fancy show with Saporabi jumping off a high diving board, but… again, I feel uncomfortable with Saporabi.

I think it would be much different if the support staff were humanoid, at least. I wonder if I pray in the chapel every day in church, wouldn’t it be changed into a beautiful woman with big breasts? Let’s give it a try.

While watching the Aqua Theater show, I now realize that there is a large trampoline on the stage. Trampoline, I’ll definitely play on it later.

Saporabi’s show is over. Alessia-san and Marina-san showed interest in jumping from a high place, so I appointed a staff member.

The two who came dressed in swimsuits jumped in from the lower step and gradually climbed up to a higher position. They jumped into the water from a high position. By the way, Fuu-chan is a spectator because it is dangerous.

…I wonder if Rimu and Fuu-chan can be appointed as staff members. It’s dangerous to jump in so suddenly, so let’s appoint them when I find a job that looks safe.

The most elegant restaurant on the Castle.

When it says the most elegant restaurant, I’m quite curious. For some reason, I brag and head to the restaurant because it is the restaurant that the luxury liner declares to be the best.

Claretta-san and Carla-san are also in high spirits. These two are happy when it comes to food-related matters, aren’t they? After entering the restaurant, I immediately summoned about five Saporabi because it is a high-class restaurant.

Saporabi guides us to our table. I ordered a course. I’m not used to going to high-class places, so I can’t imagine the dishes on the menu. It is an elegant restaurant, but I am not an elegant man.

A lot of buckets are brought in. Butter and salt were served in a bowl that looked like a clover divided into six parts. Let’s see; this looks like six different kinds of salt.

I’m going to try each of the six kinds of salt with butter. …I can vaguely taste the difference in taste. Just salt itself makes a big difference.

Claretta-san is mumbling about the differences in taste in detail. If I talk to her, she might ask for my opinion, so I leave it alone.

Various delicious dishes were served, but what surprised me the most was the caviar decorated around the rare steak. It was the first caviar in my life. Perhaps it is correct to eat it with meat, but let’s just try the caviar.

…Is it good? I guess it’s delicious, but I’m not sure… It was very tasty when I ate it with meat. …I had some confidence in B gourmet food, but I was too inexperienced in A gourmet food. I wonder if I will be able to taste it once I get used to it?

At any rate, it was delicious, and I’m happy that I got to eat at the most elegant restaurant.

Bars, cafes, stores.

We enjoyed a steak restaurant, a pizza place, a buffet restaurant, and many bars, pubs, and cafes. As for bars, I enjoyed the Latin bar, the champagne bar, the jazz bar, the piano bar, and the wine bar, depending on the mood of the day.

There was also a donut store, an ice cream parlor, a candy store, and lots of other fun things to do. Honestly, sometimes I don’t know if I would have wanted to go to that store.

When I think about it this way, we went to many of our favorite places, and it was a pretty productive month. The ladies were also happy to visit their favorite places and stores. By the way, the most popular place was the spa, which made me realize the strength of the beauty-related business.

If I had understood the subtleties of this area when I was in Japan, I might have been a little more popular.

There are still many things I want to do on the Castle, but it would be a shame to enjoy them all at once, so I’ll enjoy them again after exploring the dark elf island.

We will change to the Seeker in the open sea near dark elf island. It happened when we took down the monsters that were clinging to the Stronghold as usual.

“Master, Rimu-chan is glowing.”

Rimu always emits a faint glow, but from the look on Ines’ face, I knew it was different, so I brought Rimu down from the top of my head. …Rimu was emitting a dazzling light in my arms. …Eh? What is this? Is everything alright?

“Rimu, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

I called out to Rimu in a panic.

“…Evo.”

“Evo? What do you mean by evo? You mean you’re not okay? Heal, Claretta-san! Claretta-san! Please heal Rimu.”

As I panic, the light on Rimu grows even stronger. What should I do?

“Wataru-san! I think Rimu-chan is evolving. Please take him inside the ship and put him on the sofa.”

At any rate, I enter the Seeker as fast as I can and put Rimu down on the sofa.

What does evolution mean for Rimu?
