EP.136 [Jeanne, the Timid Alpha Female, Is Shocked After Voyeuristically Witnessing Vivian and Eugene’s Sex.♥] 

Step, step, step, step. 

After confirming the situation, Jeanne turned back toward Pangaea. But even though she had made the decision she herself wanted, her steps felt heavy. 

‘Vivian... and Mina...’ 

Jeanne is a jealous cat. Even though she told Eugene to form a harem, actually seeing more and more women gather around him made her feel irritated and jealous. So after fully entrusting Eugene and sending him off to do slum volunteer work, she secretly followed and ended up voyeuristically watching. Seeing Eugene and Mina being so affectionate left her in a rather strange melancholy. 

“Ha...!” 

Thud! 

As she trudged along, Jeanne sat on a rock near the forest. 

“Yeah, this was my decision. There’s no need for me to react like this.” 

She tried to shake off her gloom with a cool smile. 

But at that moment, from behind her  

“Yeah, right, as if.” 

A very familiar, nonchalant voice struck Jeanne to the core. 

Gasp! 

The voice was not only nonchalant but full of mischief so familiar to Jeanne that her eyes went wide as she turned around. 

“I knew you’d follow. When I asked you to come with me, you made up excuses and told me to go alone. But that was just you making a show in front of me.” 

Of course, the one who called out Jeanne’s self-pity was none other than Eugene Schneider the man who had taken her virginity, slept with her about 200 times in just over a month, and was now working to become the alpha male of a harem at her own request. 

Calculating Eugene Schneider. Truthfully, as he said, there was no need for one person to handle things alone they could have both gone to Mina together. But timid Jeanne avoided it. She didn’t trust herself to keep her jealous “cat” side under control in front of Mina. 

But Eugene knew Jeanne would definitely follow in secret. Jeanne isn’t just timid she’s a worrywart fool. So, after holding Mina’s hand for show, he almost immediately ran down the forest path, certain he’d find Jeanne sneaking away. And sure enough, he spotted her trudging along. 

“You sneaky bastard...” 

Jeanne was caught red-handed in her awkwardness. Her face flushed, and to escape the embarrassment, she tried to blame Eugene. 

“As if. Normally I’d let you off, but this is just too pathetic, Jeanne.” 

Step, step, step. 

But Eugene showed no mercy, coldly calling her out as he approached. Jeanne, with her shoulders slumped, looked like a rain-soaked puppy especially since she’d brought it on herself. 

“I just wanted to see how things would go... It’s such an important conversation, and as the leader, I was worried...” 

Fidget, fidget. 

Having been caught in her awkwardness, Jeanne’s last resort was to rationalize. But even that was a transparent lie she couldn’t even meet Eugene’s eyes as he approached. 

Clack...! 

Regardless, Eugene crouched down in front of Jeanne, who was sitting on the rock. 

“Did your heart sting a little?” 

He looked up at her and, in contrast to his earlier briskness, spoke with surprising directness and emotion. 

“....” 

Jeanne couldn’t answer because it was the absolute truth. When Eugene went to see Mina, her heart ached; seeing him holding Mina’s hand so affectionately made her feel deeply left out. That’s just normal human emotion. 

“You were watching when I had sex with Vivian in the mountains, right?” 

There was a reason Jeanne felt even more strongly. Eugene, already knowing this, brought it up in a low voice. 

“Uh... I saw...” 

Jeanne had seen Eugene suppressing his demonic energy by having sex with Vivian after defeating the Sophists. 

The Red Fox Mercenary Band had led the search for Eugene and Vivian at Jeanne’s request. In her mind, she imagined Eugene, after clashing with the Sophists and Tyrannos, losing control to his demonic energy. So she insisted the search be led by her group and personally scoured the forest to find them first. As a result, Jeanne had indeed found Eugene and Vivian first already in the act, with Eugene quelling his demonic energy through sex with Vivian. 

“I’d always imagined it in my head... but actually seeing it left me kind of numb...” 

As she recounted the situation, Jeanne began to open up about her honest feelings. Before the main Alexandria quest, Eugene had already told her he’d slept with Vivian, so she thought she could handle seeing it. But reality was different. 

Seeing the man she loved, naked and joined with another woman not just joined, but holding her in a standing position, pounding her with his huge erection. They kissed, showed each other affection. Seeing and hearing it all with her own eyes and ears, Jeanne became even more timid. 

“Yeah. Of course. It’s totally normal to feel that way, Jeanne.” 

Eugene, now warm and sweet, comforted Jeanne. He hadn’t seen her that day, but from her expressions and behavior afterward, he’d guessed what happened. It was also why she hadn’t come with him today. 

“But even though you felt that way, you still pushed ahead with the plan to recruit Mina for the mercenary village. That’s what makes you such a remarkable woman, Jeanne. Really amazing.” 

Eugene, ever the smooth talker, drew out Jeanne’s honest confession and followed up with just the right words to comfort her. Humans are weak, always struggling with worries and conflicts. But truly strong and principled people make decisions for the greater good. Eugene had watched Jeanne for ten days after returning from the Alexandria quest and saw that, even while clearly troubled, she never hesitated to make choices for the greater good. 

“Hmm... is that so...?” 

Eugene’s gaze was full of sincerity. Jeanne, proud of her role as leader of the Red Fox Mercenary Band, felt her self-esteem recovering under Eugene’s heartfelt persuasion. 

“Have you ever seen me lie? I always tell the truth, Jeanne. I never saw you hesitate in your decisions. You’re the very embodiment of a leader who follows the greater good.” 

Fidget...! Fidget...! 

“Well, Mina is such a great person, there was no need to hesitate... I’ve been watching her for a long time, you know...” 

“Ha! That’s our leader Jeanne!” 

Eugene began to play with Jeanne’s hands. Sensing her mood lifting, he increased the physical affection to soothe her further. It worked just moments ago, Jeanne had been so timid, but now she was acting like a big-hearted leader who’d made an easy decision. 

“This won’t do. I can’t let such an amazing woman go.” 

Thud! 

Eugene’s hands slid from Jeanne’s hands to her waist. 

That’s right. While part of his motive was to comfort Jeanne, as a “corrupt” alpha male building his harem, Eugene’s way of truly comforting his woman was, of course, to have sex with her. So he started making his move. 

“H-here?? You want to do it here?” 

Jeanne’s eyes went wide in surprise. In the forest? Out of nowhere? She’d already had outdoor sex with Eugene next to the mercenary tavern and in the Alexandria woods, after all. 

‘Cute, trying to play hard to get.’ 

But Eugene knew exactly what Jeanne’s expression meant. With her self-esteem restored, she wanted to act like she wasn’t easy. If she gave in right away, it wouldn’t be fun. So she played coy. 

“Of course. I’m a depraved bastard. I’m the kind of guy who’s going to sleep with every woman I can. And when I feel love for a beautiful woman in front of me, I have to act on it.” 

“Haaah... Pervert...” 

Blush...! 

To Jeanne’s teasing, Eugene only pushed back harder, knowing she couldn’t resist if he pressed. She was already completely devoted to Eugene. 

So Eugene, playing the role of the shameless and immoral man Jeanne wanted, made it clear he’d act accordingly. Feeling Eugene’s overwhelming presence, Jeanne blushed and averted her eyes. She really was just a submissive woman who’d given herself to Eugene. 

“Pervert? Hahaha! Yeah, I’m a pervert. So of course I’m going to take off your pants right now.” 

Slip! Slip! Slip! 

“Haaah! Hngh! H-hey, Eugene Schneider...!!” 

At that point, the game was over. Looking away meant Jeanne would go along with whatever Eugene did. So Eugene coolly accepted her teasing and began to undress her.
