《Yuusha Isekai! Youjo Suki!》75. Mastery?

My cowardice is showing.
Using the excuse that I was tired (which was true), I snapped up the offered key immediately and got out of there, finding my room.
The snide grin on Violet's face made me wonder if something was up, but I wasn't thinking straight.
I collapse on my knees after opening the door at the far end of the second floor.
My huge room is the damn wedding suite or something.
What the hell.
"Nii... what's wrong?" Kiku and the others wander up, showing some concern.
"Ah!" She then exclaims, putting her hand over her mouth.
Seria starts cackling.
"Fufufu... I think she got us good."
"Omygadds... really..." Aria also realises.
My head cranks around like some broken dolls.
Yes, much like I feared.
Everyone has a key labelled 'seven'. How lucky.
"It appears to have quite an extensive bed, yes?" Kaede states un-needed information.
I feel a sense of dread.
"Kekeke... is this to your standards? It is the nicest room. Unfortunately, this inn is a small one, and we only have seven rooms, but I am currently burdened with six lodgers." Violet appears, suddenly the picture of helpful customer service.
"Um... Nii... we... err... don't have to stay here... it..."
Kiku is fidgeting.
Nope. Why my sudden cowardice? Was I just rattled as the consequences of a six-girl party started to rear their heads? Is my interest that shallow?! I should be jubilant!
I leap back up.
"Thankyou for the hospitality. This will be fantastic." I state, with firm resolution.
Violet appears momentarily surprised and squints, with a snort.
"Huh... maybe you have at least one ball after all."
She cackles, rubs her hands together, and wanders off.
Most of the girls are gobsmacked.
"Fufufu... I like this woman!" Seria says, ignoring the frozen others and linking arms with me.

"Well, student of mine, we need our rest. Let us go."
I certainly am tired...
Exhausted even. My feet are killing me. We've been non-stop since the manor.
"Ah! Me too!" Aria grabs the other arm.
"Then I shall join Nii-sama also." Kaede looks frustrated at her loss of initiative, grabbing a finger.
"Eh wot! Then!" Kiku grabs another with her.
"Haaaaah!? What in Sendervil's name is wrong with you all! You!" Rishya is the voice of reason for a change.
"You cannot do this!"
And then she glomps me from behind. I feel her chest pressed up through my fabric.
Reason...? Not so much...
Pressed from behind, yanked forwards, pulled by hands and fingers, there is a disturbing sense of cohesion in movement towards the huge king-size four-poster bed.
I swear I feel a snide, bemused gaze from the stairwell as well.
My breastplate and cloak are removed, and I am basically thrown onto the sheets. It is in fact a lovely bed. Clean white sheets that feel good, lots of pillows.
Heavenly.
Just a shame I'm surrounded by girls that have become furious devils.
I shut my eyes, resigned to my fate.
...
...
...
...I really was tired...
I think in my life there was only a handful of times I fell asleep almost instantly.
But then again, dungeon crawling and deadly combat was not a hobby of mine before.
I am surrounded in a serene picture.
Lolis in various stages of undress, arranged around me in a whirlpool.
Stuff is piled up off the rooms side, including armour, weapons and clothes. Most of the girls are sleeping in just tops and panties. Kiku and Kaede's hair is down.
At some point, Kali has also appeared, and, basically only wearing her body bandages, has joined the group.

The sun is starting to fall in the sky. A nice breeze is coming off the sea through the window, mitigating the heat of this six-girl pile-up.
That's good, really. My legs and arms are dead exhausted. It's like I had a hard session at the gym before sleep. I couldn't move far without touching something anyway.
Well... I have been sleeping with Aria nearby before, sort of accidently... but this is new.
Perhaps I was needlessly scared. This is... nice.
I may have dodged a bullet though? The girls almost seemed a bit feverish at the end there.
I don't appear to have lost my pants. Thank the gods.
Even though it’s not a naturally erotic scene, I can't resist being terribly excited downstairs, compounded with good old morning wood that has no reason to go away.
I sit up slightly and cautiously, and drink in the sights.
Didn't I resolve earlier I wouldn't care what people think?
Watching many lovely girls sleeping besides me... Is this not actually like a lifelong dream?
I'm so used to not being the subject of such luck. It is luck, right?
Maybe I will eventually need to come to an important decision.
But for now, I should just relish in my good fortune.
I'm an honest to goodness master of a harem of lolis!

8 238Mana Soul
Like many others across the multiverse, Markus was chosen as this world's hero to fight against the steadily approaching cataclysm. Only, something went horribly wrong. Left with only a handful of memories, Markus has spent years clawing his way up from poverty and officially registered as an adventurer to try and make his fortune. Unfortunately, Artificers are the least combat-capable class of the four classes, and Markus has no connections to join an established party. With the fate of countless worlds hanging in the balance, a chance meeting will determine the course of a war nearly as old as reality itself. Warning: Markus has trauma induced amnesia and will occasionally 'act out of character' or make 'poorly thought out' decisions. These events are rather obvously telegraphed abd represent conflicts between his current personality and the one repressed alongside his trauma. Just something to bear in mind.The story will bounce predominantly back and forth between the primary protagonists every couple of chapters. The time stream is linear, so events are not revisted/rehashed/retold through the narrative format. Characters may comment on something that has occurred, but that's different. Just giving a heads up.Chapters will be around 7-9k and updated 1/week on the same schedule as my other story Ogre Tyrant over the weekend.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

8 141Inverted: A Dark Isekai Fantasy Novel
A desolate city, a frozen ruin, a relic of the past, were all appropriate descriptions of the place Liam found himself. Where was he? How did he get here? And why was he here? If he wanted answers, his only option was to survive. But how? With no distinct skills, the only thing that set him apart was his bitter past, which had shaped him into the cold, pessimistic and distrustful person he was. ‘So,’ Liam thought, ‘it isn’t any different.’ Starting with nothing wasn’t new for him, and as before, he would forge ahead into this unfamiliar land of abnormalities, monsters, and magic. Release Schedule (Changed): Haitus A general note: This is my first time writing anything (outside of academic papers). So, there are many things I’m learning and working on improving as the progresses.
8 88Strangers: A Tale of Two Souls
The ancient name of Blackwood is one steeped in myth and legend. Suddenly appearing at the end of the age of the mad gods—shortly before the war that tore the world asunder and heralded the end of the era—and is said to have belonged to the greatest warriors of the old world. Old tomes, found within the depths of the hidden city Amagani, tells of their bravery and valor, more than any mortal could have held. These warriors are said to have stood at the forefront of the great war, to have led every battle, and orchestrated every victory. But just as suddenly as they appeared, they vanished from history. The last mention of their presence, is within a speech of encouragement, given by the first empress of the empire of the seven stars, ahead of the last battle against the old gods. What might have happened to these brave souls at the battle for the holy mountain we can only speculate. But one thing we can say for sure: Whether these legends are true or not, they have given us strength and a beacon of light in even the darkest of times, and through us—the people that live on a world given salvation—they have become truly immortal.
