What, Failure to Transition!? Volume 3 Chapter 9

Chapter 9 – Appearing Just Like the Last Time…

“Ahh ahh ahh! Wait, Yoichi, you’re too intense!!”

After being sandwiched between Alana and Karin and being served a literal breast sandwich, Yoichi pushed Misato, the culprit who teased his buttocks and anus through the opening, down on the warm floor of the bathroom.

Then, after lodging his member with the same force she unleashed on him, he fixed himself in place and shook his hips without a moment’s pause.

“Mmm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmmmhh!!”

Misato being penetrated was sudden, but thanks to her getting wet from watching the three of her companions in action, she welcomed Yoichi’s vigorous insertion without resistance.

After that was her continued acceptance of the latter’s member while also creating lewd squelching noises in between.

“……”

“……”

Meanwhile, Alana and Karin stared at the two as they did their deed.

Because both Alana and Karin had the lube he bought smeared on them, their bodies, particularly their chests, were gleaming as they reflected the pale light of the bathroom.

Their arms and limbs that made contact with his member also gave a lustrous shine, which was really arousing, especially more on the part of Alana, whose face was also dirty from the semen on her attempt to blow him.

“W-wow. I never expected it to be this intense.”

Exclaimed Alana, after watching someone have live sex in front of her for the first time.

Yes, Alana had enjoyed the same threesome experience last night with Yoichi and Misato, but at that time, she was only playing the role of being watched, not the one who was watching.

On the other hand, Karin never had such an opportunity at all when she was dating Yoichi. She had never been with another man either, making this the first time for her to experience watching live sex.

(I mean, I’ve never seen anyone else have sex either) Yoichi also thought in his mind.

Around this time, Karin and Alana, who were watching the two in a daze, noticed Yoichi’s gaze on them.

Alana’s face immediately went downcast in embarrassment, but she glanced up from time to time as if she couldn’t help her curiosity.

Karin also had her face covered by her hand upon noticing, but Yoichi could see that though she tried an attempt, the gap between her fingers was too wide to hide anything, so she could still see it all.

“Come here, both of you.”

Yoichi, who had raised himself up, dropped these words as he motioned the two to come toward him.

This, in turn, made Alana, who was sitting slumped on the bath floor, crawl up to him on her upper body, and Karin, who was already kneeling, approached him by walking on her knees.

“Nhaaa! Ahhh aahh ahh! No, not there!”

In the meantime, Yoichi continued to shake his hips and make his rod go deep inside Misato. He even used his [Appraisal+] to find the weak spots he could target.

Upon casting the skill, he found out that she had weak spots in the shallow part of her vagina. To that, he pulled his hips all the way back until the rod was just about to come out, then using his hips in a twist, he pushed it in again, this time to make sure that his tip was making contact with the weak spot that had appeared on the side of her vaginal canal.

From here, he kept on rubbing that place with force as if he intended to gouge it with his penis.

“Hiigyaaaa! Mmmm!! There, over there, something is… I can feel it……nhiiiii!!”

Misato went moaning like a madwoman as she was repeatedly hit on her new weak points.

But Yoichi did not stop there.

Raising his upper body to change the insertion angle, he rubbed another weak spot of her on the underside of her lower belly.

“Heeh…”

“Fufufu…”

Meanwhile, watching all of these events, Karin and Alana stood up.

They were both smiling mischievously.

“Ahh, ahhh, ahhh, ahh… mhh? Yoichi? What are you…?”

At the same time they stood up, Yoichi overlapped Misato again and wrapped his arms around her back.

Then, he raised their upper bodies up, making them assume a face-to-face sitting position with Misato facing Yoichi.

“Ahh ahhh! So deep, So good!”

Because of the sudden shift in position, Yoichi’s member dug deeper.

But after giving her a few upward thrusts, he lay down. Now, he was the one being overlapped this time.

Of course, it didn’t stop Yoichi from thrusting up. He did it all while still holding Misato in his arms.

“Mmmhh……Yoichii,……so good―― hieeeee!?”

Misato, who had already given herself over to the pleasure of the act, also moved her hips in response.

But, in the middle of it, the moans she was letting out suddenly changed pitch.

“Fufufu… How is it, Misato? Does it feel good?”

From behind Misato, a voice whispers in her ear.

It was Karin’s.

After receiving Yoichi’s suggestion from God knows when he did it, Karin smeared the remaining lube on her breasts in her hands and stood on Misato’s rear from Yoichi’s right.

Then, she slipped those hands between the embracing couple and began to massage Misato’s breasts loosely, leaning slightly towards her partner’s back.

“Unh-unh-unh-unh! No, not my boobs…if you do me there at the same time, I’ll… nfuuuh!!”

Being massaged little bit, Misato let out a series of sexy moans, greatly arousing Yoichi, who was in front.

Right now, Misato is getting busy with her pussy and breasts being attacked at the same time, the former by Yoichi and the latter by Karin, who was stroking Misato’s boobs from behind like a perverted old man.

Except that she is a sexy woman and not an old man, making the scenery more sensational to Yoichi in return.

“Mmm… Misato is so cute right now… mmh… hnuuu…” Karin said as she praised Misato, her cheeks already dyed red. She was staring at the youngest woman in the room with feverish eyes as she carefully rubbed her breasts.

It wasn’t only that. She occasionally wiggled and rubbed her breasts against the woman’s back as well, as if she, too, wanted to get a feel from them.

“Haa…  Misatoo… Nhaaa!? Mmh!? Yo…ichi!?”

However, that feverish trance was suddenly cut off. It was because Karin felt something else.

It was one hand, reaching out toward Karin’s body on his right and squeezing her boobs.

The hand was Yoichi’s.

Because he could not hold back, the hand supporting Misato’s waist shifted towards that specific place.  

Not content with that, he also began to trace his fingers over the areola and pinched her nipples in the middle.     

“Hiiuuh… Yes, Yoichii… grab my boobs more… it feels so good when you do that… Misato, I’ll make you feel good too…”

While Yoichi was stimulating one of her breasts, Karin’s gaze refocused toward Misato.

Though “refocused” was not the right term, as her eyes became more heated than before.

From there, her hands that were squeezing Misato’s breasts also started to give out more force.

Yoichi also mercilessly plunged inside Misato’s vagina, making the young woman scream a lot in return.

“Ahhh, ahhh! So good! More, moooree! While at it, tease me in a lot of places too!!”

“Careful on what you wish for.”

“Eh? Nhiiiiiieeee!?”

Misato, panting hard as she was being penetrated in her vagina and being massaged on her breasts, suddenly made an out-of-tune, charming noise.

“Aaaaaahh, hyaaaaaa!! What is thisss!?’

As she yelped, she turned herself around and looked behind her, only to see Alana, the only one in the group who hadn’t participated yet.

She was now having a seductive smile on her face.

A seductive smile she was familiar with.

Yes. It was the similar smile she showed to her when they saw off Yoichi at the door to buy some lube.

“Alana!? Wait, noooooouuuuhhh!? N-not my buuuuutt!!”

Not listening to Misato’s wails, Alana, who had gone behind their rear without noticing, had shoved her middle finger inside Misato’s anus.

Before this, Alana had received Yoichi’s suggestion, where she was instructed to go behind Misato’s rear in a way she would not be noticed and plunge her finger into her ass from behind.

As a result, the lube-and-semen-mixed finger she lubricated by applying the fluids mixed in her chest went inside the woman’s other hole pretty easily.

Of course, getting interrupted in her desire to satisfy Yoichi with their breast services alone was not enough for her to do this. However, it was still a fact that Misato’s anal interruption brought their service to a premature end, so by all rights, she thought that she was, at the very least, qualified to exact mild revenge on her.

There was also the cold truth Alana had learned. Compared to stroking one’s member with their breasts, stimulating the anus of a person is much better, as the latter is an action that could immediately lead to ejaculation if the latter is not experienced.

“Ahhh ah ah!! Noo! Don’t grind it in my ass!”

Alana moved her middle finger, which had been inserted down to the root, in and out of Misato’s ass slowly.

“Mmm, mmm, Misato, you’re so cute…!!”

But after a while, probably because of the latter’s begging, she felt something changing within her.

She found herself strangely exhilarated that she, a woman, was enjoying violating Misato, who is also a woman. In fact, she was so pleased that she also began to comfort herself with her free hand.

Does Alana have sadistic tendencies?

But whether or not she does, she was still watching someone getting her ass violated by her fingers as that same woman’s vagina gets mercilessly penetrated by a penis from a man. It wouldn’t be strange if she found it arousing.

It didn’t take long for Alana’s head to become fuzzy.

Squelch squelch squelch.

“Fufufu. Misato, your nipples are really hard.”

This time it was Karin who spoke, and she was still fondling Misato’s breasts with all their might.

But as if it was a trigger for something, Alana, who had also been staring at Misato’s ass and the area where it was connecting with her fingers, looked up.

From her position, she saw a petal that was wet and twitching.

Alana slowly brought her face close to that petal and extended her tongue.

“Hyaaaa! What… Alana!?”

That petal was Karin’s vagina. And naturally, that licking was immediately followed by Karin’s scream.

“Ah no. You’re licking that part… even though we’re both women…”

The first time she felt the licking of her petals, Karin was surprised, but because she couldn’t resist the pleasure of it, she allowed Alana to continue.

“Mmm… mlem… mchuuruuup… Nmmhh…!!”

Right now, Alana is digging her fingers into Misato’s ass with her right hand, comforting her own crotch with her left, and slurping and pushing her face onto the special place of Karin with her face and tongue.

She was pleasing both women and herself simultaneously.

“Ahh… Misato’s nipples… so hard… mmmhh!! More, Alana, yess. Lick me, lick me moooree!!”

Letting out voices as if she was losing control, Karin kept stroking Misato’s breasts with her lube-covered hands as Alana ate and sucked her.

As for Yoichi, he has already removed his hands from their breasts. He was now concentrating on holding Misato’s hips in place while giving her a series of upward thrusts.

“Ahh ahh, no, no more!! If you continue to do this, I’ll… I’ll turn strange!!”

Being slammed into her vagina and anus simultaneously as her breasts get rubbed, Misato screamed like never before.

“Mmmhh!! I can’t!! I’m going crazy! I’m going to go crazy from being violated in my boobs, ass, and pussy!!”

Soon, being attacked on her breasts and two holes at the same time, she reached her climax first.

Yoichi, feeling Misato’s body stiffen, stopped thrusting.

At the same time, Alana also stopped moving her hand.

However, her middle finger was still inside, and her tongue that was still in Karin’s pussy continued to lick her private parts.

“Hieee!! A-Alanaaah… no more… let me… take a rest…”

Using the moment she stopped her hand, Karin also escaped from Alana’s tongue.

She took her hands off Misato’s breasts and leaned on the bathtub as she squirmed.

“Mm… Karin, are you trying to run away?”

“Haa… haa… you mustn’t, Alana. A girl shouldn’t lick such a place…”

Karin covered her private parts with a hand while giving a reproachful look to the girl in question.

The girl in question was, of course, Alana.

“Nfuuh… Mmhh…”

While they were at it, Misato, who became the primary target of the three, groaned lightly and leaned limply against Yoichi’s body.

“Uuu… you guys… terrible…”

She nuzzled herself into the man’s chest and cried in a tone akin to weeping.

“Ahahaha, sorry about that. I went a little too far.”

“Misato, I’m sorry,”

“Fufufu, this one apologizes as well, Misato.”

Though she said that, Alana, who said the last line, still has her finger inserted into Misato’s ass in full.

“Ahh… mou, pull it out already…both of you…”

“Ah, right. Sorry about that.”

Only recognizing it this late, Yoichi gripped Misato’s hips on both sides and lifted her up to pull her away from his cock, and Alana slowly began pulling out as well.

“No, no, not that. I still don’t want to pull that out.”

“Mm? I see. So you still don’t want to pull this out, I presume?”

In response to Misato’s words, Alana pushed back her finger, which was already halfway out, along with a hollow answer. Yochi’s member was already out.

“No! Pull that one out! I meant the other one!”

However, Alana ignored Misato’s pleas and moved her finger, which she reinserted, all the way to the base again.

“Nhuooo! Stop grinding it in my ass!!”

Meanwhile, as Misato was screaming, Yoichi relaxed his hands that gripped her waist for the time being and repositioned his hips below.

“Nhaaaa!!”

Along with a short gasp, Yoichi’s cock was again sucked inside Misato’s vagina, all the way to the base.

“Fumu. Misato, isn’t it unfair that you’re the only one getting pampered?”

Still with her finger inside Alana’s ass, Alana muttered with her cheeks inflated as if she was sulking.

“Uuu… I’m sorry. But I still haven’t gotten it yet… Yoichi’s seed…”

Misato herself came once, so she wants Yoichi to come once, too.

If possible, she also liked Yoichi to come inside as well.

This is currently what she was thinking.

“Um, Alana, how about you ride on Yoichi’s face in the meantime?”

“O-on his face?”

“As for Karin..”

“Nah, I’m good. I think I had enough for today.”

Karin let out a tired smile as she slumped into the bathtub.

“But to do it…to Yoichi’s face…”

As for Alana, she looked at Yoichi in bewilderment. Then, as if imagining herself straddling his face, she looked down in embarrassment immediately after a few seconds.

“Ah, that’s right, I still have to pull this…”

As if to cover up her shame, she twisted her finger that was still inside Misato’s ass again,

“Hyuuuhh!!”

To which Misato’s hips also jumped again in response to the movement.

“Mm… T-then, I’m going lift myself up now. If you… still want it… you can continue doing that after that…”

Misato meekly spoke, seeing that the other party won’t budge at violating her rear.

But midway, as she staggered to her feet, Yoichi gently grabbed her shoulders on both sides.

“No, wait. Is that really okay with you, Misato?”

“Hm? Yes… I’m fine… with it…”

“Um, don’t tell me… you have taken a liking to it?”

“I-I don’t know…”

At that question, Misato shakes her head in full.

“But if it makes Yoichi and Alana happy, then I…”

But at her following words, Yoichi and Alana looked at each other and smiled lightly.

“Nhaa…! Um, Alana…?”

This time, Alana decided to stop teasing Misato.

Pulling out her finger completely, she followed up with an apologetic smile from the young lady.

“I’m sorry, Misato. I think I have gone a bit overboard earlier.”

Yoichi, too, apologized next.

“No, I’m the one who invoked them. I’m sorry, Misato.”

“Eh…? Ehh…?”

Naturally, because of the huge shift in the demeanor of the two, Misato was puzzled.

But while she was processing this change, the two also made action on their own as if not to waste time.

And Alana was the first to move in.

“Pardon me, Yoichi.”

Alana said as she stood up and slowly sat down at Yoichi’s face.

Because she was straddling in front of him with her toes and knees and keeping her private area close to his face but not putting too much weight on it, Yoichi saw her lovely place in full.

Her silvery pubic hair was soaked in lube and hot water, her light-brown folds of flesh were bare, and the pink mucous membranes were twitching inside.

Yoichi, holding Misato’s shoulders, released his hands and put them on Alana’s thighs to respond to this. He also extended his tongue to the sheltered area that covered his vision, all the way to the deepest parts he could reach.

“Nhaaa!! Mmh, mmm, Misatoo…”

Alana, who was now being licked, moaned aloud. Her hips also shook quiveringly, but surprisingly, even with this, she was still able to hold Misato and help her get up.

Now, Misato and Alana are staring face to face, with Yoichi pleasing them at the bottom.

“A-Alana…? Ahhhh! Nnnnggggg! Yoichi too…!!?”

But from here, Yoichi’s meat rod began to push and pull, even though the woman he was penetrating was still yet to grasp the situation.

“Nngh, nngh… Misato… whatever happens…Me and Yoichi… there… for you…”

“Mmmhh… Alana?”

“Nhaa…nnguu… Whatever happens, we will always be here for you… Misato… mmmhh…!!”

Alana said these words to Misato with a sweet smile on her face.

Unfortunately, that sweet smile didn’t last long.

It was because Yoichi’s tongue also went relentless on her underneath.

Of course, he also did not forget to thrust his hips at Misato from below.

“Alanaaah…!!”

Misato screamed next. She was now feeling the heat coming in two different directions.

One from below, specifically from her vagina, and one from above, specifically from her chest.

And both heat was spreading fast.

“Then… Karin too?”

“Umu… You’re right.”

Alana and Misato then switched their gazes to the one resting at the side as if the two had come to a reconciliation based on that dialogue alone.

“No, I’m already good, you see…”

To that unexpected attention, Karin looked down as if to avoid direct eye contact, only to see the figure of Yoichi busily licking Alana’s parts the moment her gaze went down on them.

“Sigh… I guess I have no other choice… fufufu…”

As if something in it pushed something in her, Karin, who already had an idea of what the two were thinking, raised herself from leaning over the bathtub and approached the intermingling three…

“W-well then. I guess I’ll have to join you too… hyaaa…!!”

…only to be assaulted by the said three right after.

Misato and Alana each reached for Karin’s breasts while Yoichi reached for her crotch.

Misato and Alana’s hands then caressed the still lube-soaked breasts, while Yoichi’s fingers slid in and out of the soaking-wet secret parts.

“Mmmhh… If that’s how you want it, then me too…!!”

A pair of hands stretched out in a counterattack and grabbed Misato and Alana’s breasts.

Naturally, they were from Karin, and with the lube covering them still, she went and stoked each of the two lewdly and slickly.

“Noo… I’m getting my pussy poked and my tits fondled…”

“Nfuuu… this is… good…”

“Mmm, mhaa… Kariin, Alanaaa… together… let’s do it together…”

“Hauun… yes… all of us…”

“Nhuu… ahh… umu… Misato, Karin… mmchuu…”

What came next was the three women huddling together on top of Yoichi while intertwining their lips and tongues.

“Nmu, nchu, mlem…”

“Nhaamu… churup… mlam…”

“Chupu, amu, mlemlem…”

Of course, Yoichi also took action. Leaning forward and slightly lifting his hips, he used his left hand to grip the border between Alana’s buttocks and thighs and spread them apart to reveal more of the special place he could lick, while on his right, he attacked Karin’s private parts with his fingers.

He didn’t forget to thrust his hips up to enjoy Misato’s insides in full as he did this.

As for Karin, Misato, and Alana, each of them rubbed and fondled the other’s lube-soaked breasts while moving each of their hips as well, as if it was a natural procedure.

The sounds of licking private parts, squelching and rubbing the wet insides, and tongues entwining with each other echoed in the high-end bathroom.

“Nchu, ammuuh, mmmm!!”

“Haamuuu, nchi yuruuru, nfuuu!!”

“Mmmm, lem, mmmm!!”

Tangled in this way, the four people eventually reached their climax.

Yoichi poured his semen into Misato’s vagina with a thump. Misato tightened her vagina, and her whole body stiffened as she received it.

Alana, who was being licked on her private parts, hugged the two women hard as if she was trying to endure something.

The last one, Karin, shook her entire body and jerked it from time to time, each time causing her intimate parts to spray out water as Yoichi fingered her insides.

After this, they decided to call it a day, and after showering, the four went to the bedroom.

Yoichi wore a T-shirt and trunks, his traditional night clothing.

Misato wore the sweatshirt-like loungewear she had bought at the department store she and Yoichi had visited in the past, though its loose-fitting neckline exposed her slender left shoulder, and her breasts were almost halfway visible.

When she spent time in her room, she also wore sweatpants, but now she chose not to wear them, so her cute buttocks could also be seen from the edges of her clothes.

Alana was dressed in a black camisole with ruffles, the one she usually wears as an undergarment.

It was a simple one-piece with no particular decoration underneath, with only the frills visible through the inner lining if worn like normal under her armor, which usually also doubles as a corset.

Although the fabric is a little thicker than one would expect from an undergarment, there were no bra cups, and because the underbust is slightly narrowed to fit Alana’s style, the shape of her large breasts was clearly visible to Yoichi.

It was also pretty short for her size. In fact, they were so short that the panties she was wearing and her large, shapely buttocks would easily show themselves with only the slightest movements of her thighs.

As for Karin, she was wearing only a blouse, which she usually wears under her suit. But this time, she chose not to wear a bra, and several buttons on top of her blouse were undone, giving a clear view of her soft cleavage underneath it.

And because the blouse’s fabric was white and thin, her breasts and nipples were faintly visible.

It wasn’t only that. Because she was not wearing her usual tight skirt, her panties-covered buttocks and plump legs were also generously exposed to the man, as if they wanted to attract him at all angles.

(Aren’t they even sexier than before?)

While enjoying the sight of these women and saying this in his head, Yoichi got on the bed. The women followed.

Last night Misato and Alana slept on the couch hugging each other, and Yoichi slept on the floor, but now it will be different as they will rest on a king-size bed with the addition of Karin.

In other words, it would be the first time the four would sleep side-by-side on one bed.

“Fufu, it’s not bad, sleeping together like this…”

“Un. You’re right.”

“Um, would it be heavy for us all?”

“Nah. It would be fine.”

And so they began to doze off on the bed as they were.

As for their positions, Yoichi was in the middle, and Misato was clinging to him halfway up.

Alana’s position was a bit farther on Misato’s side, while Karin was snuggled up solo on Yoichi’s other side.

The king-size bed seemed so little when the four people slept closely with each other.

〇●〇●

“[…] has appeared!!”[1]

Yoichi turned his head toward the horrifying voice and saw a woman in kimono with her long hair messily slicked back crawling toward him.[2]

The area was pitch-dark, and only the woman’s surroundings seemed to glow faintly.

(So there is a black version of this space, too, huh?)

At Yoichi’s internal words, the woman stopped moving.

Then, she looks at Yoichi and says, “U… uu…… Am I really that bland? You can show a little more reaction, you know…” with eyes peeking through the gaps in her hair, which had been pulled down, looking as if they were about to cry.

“Ah, sorry about that, Ms. Administrator. What can I do for you this time?”

Realizing that Yoichi seemed to be in no mood to play along with her, the administrator raised her body from her crawling position and sat down on her knees.

Then, the hair that had been down to cover the face suddenly got brushed back and replaced with her usual up-do.

“You are still as free-spirited as ever, aren’t you?”

“I’m not! Mister Wisteria Todou is just boring!”

The administrator ignored Yoichi’s words with a hmph, matching it with a head-turn and a classic sulking face.

“Well, I’m sorry for being boring… So, what can I do for you?”

“Sigh…”

The administrator exhaled heavily. Then, after nodding at herself as If to psyche herself up, she looked up and gave Yoichi a stern look.

“You saw, didn’t you?”

“Saw…what?”

“At Karin, Misato, and Alana’s skill columns.”

“Oh, you mean the [Healthy Body+]?”

“Ughh… Why are you seeing it in the first placeee!!”

“How am I supposed to answer that!? Because I have eyes!?”

“But I have applied the highest level of concealment to it, you know!”

“Maybe because my Appraisal+] also has the highest detection level thanks to your… blessing?”

“Aaaahhhh!!”

To Yoichi’s response, the administrator snapped as if she has been had, then hung her head below.

“So it was me… Uuuu, I’m such an idiot…”

“Sigh… Wait. You just said you have concealed it. Does that mean I shouldn’t see it?”

“Not really, no. How should I put this…”

The administrator then explained again that Yoichi’s skills with “+” are unique skills exclusive only to him, as they have her blessing.

“So you’re saying that no one but me should have [Healthy Body+], is it?”

“…Yes. It’s supposed to be that way.”

“And you’re telling me… that I was the one who granted it to them?”

“…probably.”

“How did that happen?”

“Auuu…”

The shrinking administrator’s face turned bright red, and then she shrank even more.

But that was already enough for Yoichi to prove that his hunch was right.

“Seriously? What is this? An adult game scenario!?”

Yoichi couldn’t help but rebuke.

The contrast between the absurdity of his dialogue and the seriousness of his eyes was enough to give the high-above administrator a good flinch.

However, the administrator was still able to give a single nod while fidgeting, to which she explained as she started to get up.

“Ah, about that, that’s not exactly right either. The skill was not bestowed to Rina, the prostitute you’ve had sex with before, remember?”

Before Yoichi began his full-scale exploration of another world, he had slept with Rina, the prostitute in the establishment he frequents, in private.

At that time, he had also ejaculated inside her with great vigor.

“Even if that’s the case, it can’t be denied that releasing my seed inside them is still one of the factors, is it not?”

“Hauu…”

The administrator, who had been making excuses in a flurry, clutched her chest at Yoichi’s words as if she was shot and nodded again in defeat.

“But what is the difference between Rina and the three, I wonder? Hmm… “

“… love, perhaps?”

To the administrator’s peering gaze as she said this, Yoichi returned with a look of utter dismay.

“Seriously?”

“Uu… Yeah… after all, no matter how much I analyze it, that’s the only thing that comes to mind! Or are you saying you’re against it?!”

Cried out the administrator before covering her face with her hands as if she had enough of the stares.

“Ah, no, not really. In fact, if it’s really the case, I would be more than grateful.”

Even a normal [Healthy Body] is already a rare skill.

So for Yoichi, it’s already gratifying to know that the Administrator’s blessing has been added to the two he holds dear and with whom he would be involving in his otherworldly life in the future, as [Healthy Body+] will decrease a lot of repercussions in them.

“However, if that is really the case, then there’s one thing that worries me…”

“Oh? What is it? I hope it’s not difficult of a question this time.”

The administrator asked, her shoulders still slumped somewhat helplessly.

“What would you do if there spread of a pandemic of [Healthy Body+]?”

Because love is still a vague factor for this “contamination”, what would the administrator do if this was proven false and the skill that Yoichi imparted spread like a plague to others? Yoichi couldn’t help but ask.

At the moment, only Karin, Misato, and Alana are granted [Healthy Body+]. But if the skill were to be “transmitted” to a prostitute, for example, there would be a guaranteed explosion in the number of cases with the said prostitute’s customers alone.

“Ah, you don’t have to worry about that. It’s because the [Healthy Body+] that Mr. Wisteria Todou and the [Healthy Body+] that Misato, Karin, and Alana have are slightly different.”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t really know how it happened, but there is a factor that you, Mr. Wisteria Todou, must have optimized the skill when it was into you. Like it probably underwent a mutation before it was transferred to them.”

“Mutation… like a variant of some sort? How do you even know this?”

“Fufufu. Do you really think I’m completely unaware of what is happening to you? That was the first thing I looked up first.”

The administrator looked at Yoichi with a smug look, seeing that she was finally getting back on track.

Or rather, what are you getting so proud of when you are the one who is supposed to know everything in the first place? It is what is in his mind, but he didn’t say it out loud out of respect.

“Well, to sum it up, the possibility of infection…err, granting the blessing to others, there is absolutely no possibility for the three of them spreading this, at least as far as their [Healty Body+] is concerned.”

“…So you’re saying that my [Healthy Body+] is the only one that could possibly grant others the skill?”

“Yep.”

“And you’re saying that Karin and the others’ [Healthy Body+] is slightly different from my [Healthy Body+]?”

“You are correct again.”

“This is getting more complicated…”

“I know, right? Then, how about this? I’ll change their names, for starters.”

“You can do that?”

“Well, it’s only a matter of how the text will be displayed. How about we do this. Mr. Wisteria Todou’s will become [Healthy Body α(alpha)], and the women’s will become [Healthy Body β(beta)].”

“Alpha and Beta, huh. It’s kind of tacky, especially the Beta one, but at least it’s easy to understand.”

“Well, it can’t be helped that the second Greek alphabet became synonymous with lackluster MCs in your culture, so it sounds a bit unpleasant to you, but you have to suck it… There, I fixed it for you.”

“You really have to say that, huh. What about the effects?”

“I concealed the skills for a reason, Mr. Wisteria Todou. You can check on them yourself if you are still persistent, but my advice is that now is not the good time.”

“I see.”

Yoichi again [Appraised] his own skills and confirmed that his skill name had been changed to [Healthy Body α].

“Now then, Mr. Wisteria Todou. That will be all for today —”

“Hold on a second!”

“Yes?”

“I still have several questions!”

“And what could they be?”

“Why can’t I use magic!? Whether it is Sorcery or Wizardry, I can’t do anything! This is even worse when you said I won’t be able to learn skills the last time! Can you at least tell me why?”

At Yoichi’s question, the administrator’s face twitches up.

“You see… about that…”

“At first, I thought it was because I am from another world, but upon seeing Misato being able to use Sorcery and Wizardry spells even better than the local residents, and Karin’s talent in archery manifesting in this world as otherworldly skills, I immediately understood that something was up. What’s really the case here?”

To Yoichi’s interrogation, the administrator turns her head downward. Then, she glances at Yoichi up and down with an apologetic expression, as if she was a puppy that had done something wrong.

Meanwhile, Yoichi was unperturbed as he continued to look straight at the administrator with a serious expression on his face.

After a few moments of silence, the administrator exhaled and looked up as if she was ready.

Upon looking up, there was no longer any trace of her puppy-like gaze, and she was now with a serious stare, more serious than Yoichi was giving off to her.

“About that, Mr. Wisteria Todou…”

Yoichi unknowingly braced himself at the following words. Then…

“I’m truly sorry for everything!!”

The administrator spoke aloud with her hands up in the air and then dived her body straight to the floor.

(No way, did she just do a Buddhist full-body prostration!?)

The administrator, who was just staring at him seriously earlier, went in a banzai position and then fell to her front, hitting the ground of the space they’re in, though “ground” is but a speculation as there isn’t really a visible surface on where they were standing.

Nevertheless, the moment her face made contact with this “ground”, it was undeniable that he heard a loud smack, which was then followed by a pool of blood, possibly from a nosebleed, gradually spreading from the area around the face of the prone administrator.

“No, I’m not mad at you! I just want you to explain it to me properly!”

“Ish… ish that twue? Youwe not mad?”

The administrator turned her head upwards to look at Yoichi as she said this.

Blood was flowing unceasingly from her nose, and she was covered in it from the bottom of her nose to around her mouth.

“Yes, I’m not angry.”

“Pwomishe?”

“Promise. Or is it that there should be something that I should get mad about in the first place?”

“Eh? Ah, About that, you see…Uuuuwwuu.”

Suddenly, the administrator began to shed tears of blood, not only from his nose but also from the corners of her eyes and even her forehead.

This caused most of her face to be covered in blood.

(Scene from the manga. Several details have been cut off, though. Also, its pacing is different from the light novel.)

“Uwaa! I understand. I won’t get angry! I won’t get angry, so please do something about your bloody face!”

“Zhee, zheee… then, promise not to be angry, okay?”

“I promise! I promise!”

“Thank goodness! What a relief!!”

They hadn’t started anything yet, but the administrator was already relieved. Her nosebleeds and bloody tears stopped, and the blood that had spread from her face and onto the ground(?) disappeared cleanly.

The administrator, now spick and span, rolled over on her back and started speaking at Yochi as she stared at him from above.

(Really. Isn’t this woman too lax? At the very least, get up while talking to me.)

“The part where you can’t use spells, whether Wizardry or Sorcery, is because your mana is too dense. After all, your mana source is me. Just think about it as some sort of incompatible fuel. The same could also be said for the Skills of their world. But, even if it’s the case, I’m sorry if that didn’t meet your expectations.”

“Eh? The magic power I am using… is your very own Magic power?”

“Yes. So it could be said that it’s entirely my fault. I’m sorry.”

The administrator tells this to Yoichi in the tone of a toddler apologizing for a prank.

“So it is because I am receiving too strong a supply of magic power that their spell techniques don’t work?”

“Well, “dense” is not the right term, more like “incompatible”? Anyway, I’m sorry.”

Sensing that Yoichi was not going to get angry, the administrator returned to her usual tone of voice and apologized formally.

Alana had predicted it to be something like that, but it seemed that her prediction had come true.

But due to this, Yoichi will have to continue to live his life in a different world with only six skills: [Appraisal+], [Language Comprehension+], [Infinite Storage+], [Return+], [Healthy Body α], and [World Transfer Safety Skill].

It is not impossible to say that if there is an emergency situation, the administrator may also grant him new skills, as with [World Transfer Safety Skill], but Yoichi also knows it is best not to expect too much, especially from the clumsy administrator.

(Well, I can’t say I am not dissatisfied because, in the first place, they are already cheat-like skills on their own.)

“Um, one more thing just to confirm, what about not being able to learn a skill? It’s not mana-related, right?”

“What do you mean?”

The manager was still conversing with Yoichi with her posture in a prone-lying position.

“For example, Alana had the skills of [Dual-Axemanship] and [Axe-spearmanship], and Karin, who had experience in archery, got the [Bowmanship] skill, right? If I cannot learn those martial arts skills, does that mean I can’t be strong in the otherworld even if I try?”

“Hm? I don’t think so. Skills are only there to supplement the knowledge and skills of the possessor, and the absence of the [Skill] does not signify that your body won’t be able to learn the said techniques.”

For example, if the person has talent in sword training, they could acquire the [Swordsmanship] skill.

By acquiring the [Swordsmanship] skill, they will gain knowledge of techniques without the need of someone teaching them, and they will be able to easily perform moves that they could not perform before, even without training.

However, these techniques that came from the skill can also be gained by learning from others, and even their physical movements can be mastered or imitated if they take their time and maximize their effort.

Indeed, the difference in ability between the “Skill Possessors” and the No-skill Possessors is huge and cannot be easily abridged.

However, it was still not enough reason to stop a person from becoming stronger through hard work.

More importantly, Yoichi already has extraordinary [Skills] in his possession.

If he uses them well and combines them, he can do as many things as he wants – even surpassing those that possess a [Skill].

Evidence of it was already shown the other day, Where Yoichi easily defeated Graff the Red Flash without breaking a sweat, even though the latter owned a very superior skill set, by only following the [Appraisal+]’s instructions.

“Even at the time before the [Bowmanship] skill was manifested, around the time when the three of you haven’t yet stepped to the other world, there’s already a huge gap in Mr. Wisteria Todou and Karin’s archery skills. There is also the fact that even though the skill has manifested in Ms. Karin, that doesn’t mean she can easily fight monsters with a bow now. To sum it up, having a good skill does not equate to the person being stronger than anyone else.”

“Well, I guess you have a point in that… Ah right. Here’s another question. What if the supply of magic power from you, the administrator, gets cut off for some reason?”

“Well, by then, you can learn your own magic and skills of this world. After all, it is my immense magic power that keeps you from learning them.”

“Then ―”

“But, are you alright with that?”

“With what?”

“If I do that, it will no longer be possible for you to cross between worlds, you know?”

“Ah…”

To go back and forth between different worlds by transition requires an enormous amount of magical power – a power that only the administrator can supply.

“If you choose to live in another world permanently, your skills would be fine, but if you choose to live in Japan, you won’t be able to use any of my skills because of the zero magic in the environment there.”

And without any of the skills, for that matter, this would make it difficult, or almost impossible, for Yoichi to raise money and gather weapons as it is.

Yoichi’s firepower is currently dependent on these otherworldly skills bestowed by the Administrator.

You could even say that it’s his lifeline now.

“Also, even though I said you could still use the skills I bestowed to you in another world, there will still be repercussions. First, the blessings I have given you will be rendered almost useless, as giving a skill a blessing will also mean that the skill will not only be boosted its effectiveness but will also be attached with an astronomical amount of magic power consumption for each use. Perhaps there would be a limitation in its number of uses, or hell, even the skill’s function could cease because of your body’s lack of mana.”

“So you’re saying that all the “+” in those skills would also make them less fuel-efficient?”

“It’s no longer to the extent of being “less fuel-efficient” but more of being “extreme magic power hogger” instead.”

“What about the [Healthy Body β] that Karin and the others have?”

“Of course, they’re included. Or are you thinking that they’re out of the list because they are mutations? Sadly, they’re not. In the first place, all of this Alpha-Beta was discovered because I felt that my magic power consumption on you has increased quadra-fold.”

“Ah, so that’s how it is.”

“Regardless of the mutation and the naming, a [Healthy Body+] will still be a [Healthy Body+]. Meaning no matter how much of a variant it is, the main specifications of the skill will still remain.”

“No, but Misato’s magic talent is quite good, even more than Karin’s. Wouldn’t there be a possibility of an overload of your magic power if you’re directly supplying them?”

“Oh, that wouldn’t happen. It’s because it is you, Mr. Wisteria Todou, who is supplying “my” magic power to the two.”

“Huuh?!”

The administrator said something so outrageous so quickly that Yoichi had to give her a very dumb look.

“Um, what’s with the reaction?”

“Wait. You said earlier that you are supplying them, right? So why did it become me who is supplying them now? Also, now that you have mentioned it, why do they have skills and magic, even though you said that your magic power is incompatible!?”

“Oh…right. Perhaps it’s because…. Mr. Wisteria Todou is currently acting as some kind of Magic Power Regulator to them… or something…?”

With an awkwardly affectionate smile, the administrator shrugs at Yoichi.

(Grrr… this woman! Nothing has changed! She’s still a clutz as ever!)

“W-well, anyway, summing it all up, it is possible to stop the supply of magic power from me, which may allow Mr. Wisteria Todou to use his skills and magic of that world as normal. But that would also mean losing your skills and degrading some altogether, especially your and your women’s [Healthy Body+] and [Return+]. So what will you choose, Mr. Wisteria Todou?”

The administrator, who was being glared by Yoichi madly, was flustered, but she still managed to keep her composure and asked Yoichi his choice.

“…Nah, I’m fine as is.”

Or rather, he doesn’t even need to think about it.

There were just too many disadvantages for him if he cut off the administrator’s magic power, skill-wise and livelihood-wise. But, more importantly, his decision will also impact the women he is with.

On the other hand, even if he chooses not to gain any more new magic or otherworldly skills, he will still be able to get by with the existing Skills, wisdom, and courage he has on hand.

“Fuuh…”

“I think that’s it for today. Do you have any more questions?”

“None. Thank you very much.”

Hearing Yoichi’s answer, the administrator finally exhaled with relief.

She changed her expression and posture and turned towards Yoichi once again.

“Very well. I hope you enjoy the rest of your life~.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

(Is it my imagination, or does this line sound more and more like a “See you again” flag? I mean, just look at her. She is still as clumsy as usual…)

If he only considered the expression on her face, it was quite alright. However, because that same woman was still lying on her back with her arms raised overhead until she finished chatting with him, he could not help but not take her seriously.

In the end, Yoichi chose not to worry about it. Or rather, he shifted his worry to what would happen in the future as his vision completely whited out again.

Translator Notes

[1].  The original was「見い～たぁなぁ……！！」(Mii~taanaa……!!). This seems to reference the old standard third-rate villain line that appears in DQ3 and 5, among others, also a line that is a sign of an upcoming boss battle in the series. However, I don’t really play Dragon Quest, so I don’t know the exact line in English, so I opted to use a generic RPG monster encounter line instead.↰

[2]. Yes. This is a Sadako reference from The Ring. I think? Or is it some kind of cliché scene of a zombie-reaching-out-on-you?↰
