"Haiyaaah.., Khwaaa!"

I returned to the Ravenscoft Territory. The friendly smiles of the Guard Captain and the guards as I left were unforgettable.

May they live well wherever they go.

Looking around the streets, I saw a gold and silver exchange I hadn’t seen before. Besides that, several other new-looking shops caught my eye.

"The atmosphere seems a bit different somehow. Has our territory developed too?"

Since I had something to do, I entered the gold and silver exchange. First, I took out all the expensive pieces through the ring.

"Please exchange all of this for gold."

"H-huh?! Are you serious?!"

"Yes, yes."

"Please wait a moment!"

The owner of the gold and silver exchange was a man with a receding hairline and slightly protruding front teeth.

Unlike his rather petty appearance, he seemed quite diligent in his work. The owner quickly exchanged it all for gold.

"Hahahaha! Customer, you exude a different aura than your appearance suggests, so I had a hunch. Are you the Hero?"

"Yes, I am Lucian of Ravenscoft."

"Euhyaa, if it’s Lucian of Ravenscoft, there’s no way I wouldn’t know you. At least around here!"

"Is that so, after all?"

The owner laboriously brought a sack full of gold.

I lightly lifted it with one hand and gauged its weight. What should I say? It was a jackpot.

"A whopping 50,000 gold. This amount is enough to live comfortably for a lifetime and still have some left over."

Honestly, I was amazed. All of this is my money? It’s mine?

To hold such a large sum of money here. I wondered if it was a dream. Anyway I exchange gold to gold stack with each worth thousand in its own , so 50000 good can fit in one bag.

"But I can’t stop here."

Since I’ve got the money anyway, I should share it with the women and flex a bit too.

Leaving the gold and silver exchange, I called out to Aki.

-[Me]: Aki, can you come out for a moment?

-[EasternMiko]: Oh my, since our Hero is calling, I must go out right away. Just a moment!

Wait, what’s with that name?

EasternMiko... something. So it seems you can set the name that others see?

"How did Aki know this? She usually walks around with a silly grin, showing off her airheaded charm. Is she surprisingly smart?"

Leaving Aki’s tacky ID behind, I headed home.

Soon, Aki appeared by my side.

"Ufuf! Lucian!"

"You came out well. How is it? This is my hometown, the Ravenscoft Territory."

"Oh my, the air is nice, isn’t it?"

I arrived home. Going inside, I didn’t see Aunt, who I expected to greet me. Instead, Lumina was deadlifting with an iron lump she must have gotten from somewhere.

"...Lumina, where’s Aunt?"

"Eh? Lucian, long time no see? Selena went out to meet someone, didn’t she?"

"Really? That’s unusual."

"Anyway, are you back? When are you finally going on your adventure?"

"I’ll leave soon. Enough of that, come with me."

"Hoo, huh? But who’s behind you?"

Lumina came over, wiping her sweat-soaked body with a towel. Her body seemed to have gotten even better somehow.

Is it the effect of working out? They say if you work out too hard, even existing breasts can shrink.

Lumina was amazing. To be a beastkin and still train diligently every day.

"This is Aki, and this is Lumina. From now on, they’ll be joining me on my adventure."

"Fufu♥ Nice to meet you, Black Rabbit!"

"Nice to meet you, Eye-smile girl."

Why are they calling each other by nicknames instead of their real names? Anyone seeing them would think they’re super close.

I quickly headed somewhere with the two women.

As I walked with Aki and Lumina on either side, everyone around me stared at me in unison.

"Isn’t that the gigolo, Lucian Vane? Right?"

"Huh, they said he became a Hero, and his life really turned around. Crazy..."

"I’m so fucking envious. With beauties on both sides, I’m super envious."

"Plus, one is a beastkin, and the other is a pure and elegant fucking eastern beauty! When will I ever live like that?"

Looks of envy and jealousy poured in from all directions.

But for me, this is just everyday life.

Well, isn’t it the destiny of a Debauched Hero? Kekeke!

Aki looked around and gave an eye-smile.

"Fufu♥ As expected of Lucian’s hometown, hot gazes from all directions... Hmph."

Then Lumina picked her ear.

"You know how bored I’ve been, right? Should we have a proper fight for old times’ sake?"

"...Don’t you ever get tired?"

"Never. Or, sex, deal?"

"Ugh, we’re out to buy clothes for the ladies today. Control yourself, control yourself."

At my words, both women looked at me simultaneously, their eyes widening.

Is that really so surprising?

"Oh my?!"

"Clothes? Suddenly? Did you commit a sin?"

Their reaction was quite unexpected. This is unfair, honestly.

"I got some money. Ah, first, you ladies get your share. From now on, you two are members who will be going on adventures with me. So even if you’re not official Heroes, shouldn’t you wear clothes befitting adventurers?"

The clothes Aki and Lumina were currently wearing were, after all, just everyday wear.

Even if it was everyday wear, it needed to be more suitable for travel.

Aki nodded.

"I agree. Clothes suitable for combat, yet comfortable anywhere, anytime!"

Of course, Lumina yawned. It was just like her, having no interest in dressing up.

"Is it really necessary? Well, it’s free, so I guess it’s fine by me."

And so, we entered the clothing store. As soon as we stepped in, a middle-aged woman with stiff, blue hair greeted us.

It was a mound of hair, seemingly half her height. Such a style must be difficult to maintain.

"Oh my, pretty ladies have arrived!"

"Alright, choose."

I told the two women. Looking around, there were fashion clothes as well as light clothing sought by adventurers.

"Oh my, how should I dress to look like a miko? Fufuf♥"

"Tsk... It’d be great if there were clothes easy to fight in. Is there no bikini armor or something?"

The two women immediately looked around. It seemed they had secretly become interested.

I just quietly watched. To be honest, my fashion sense isn’t particularly outstanding either.

"Oh, it suits you well!"

"The clothes have met their owner, oh my!"

The clothing store owner bustled about, following the two women.

She was showing her determination to sell at least one more piece of clothing, no matter what.

That auntie is still so tenacious.

The auntie came over to my side and greeted me.

"Lucian, long time no see. I heard you became a Hero."

"Yes, Auntie Green. How have you been? How’s business?"

"Me? I’m just so-so. But lately, the number of tourists visiting the territory has increased, which is good."

"Oh, so it seems it has developed?"

It really has developed. Our territory.

My Fiora. The light and the salt!

The one who is indispensable, who will make our territory a land flowing with milk and honey!

"It’s all thanks to the Lady, you know."

"Indeed. She truly is a wonderful person."

A satisfied smile appeared on my face. A resourceful person as excellent as Fiora is rare.

Considering she even took the Lord, who has such a scoundrelly personality, as her husband, her character must be excellent too.

Auntie Green, who had been chatting, clapped her hands.

"Oh, that’s right. By the way, I heard something happened with Angela?"

"Huh? Why?"

Why is Angela being brought up here? She’ll probably be fine on her own, I guess.

But the auntie’s face was a little dark.

"I haven’t seen her at all lately. It’s about time for shops to increase and profits to grow to welcome tourists. But she hasn’t been opening her shop, has she?"

"...That can’t be. She’s a really diligent."

I tilted my head. Angela isn’t opening her shop?

Living day by day felt empty, and the general store work was the only thing that helped alleviate that.

She’s not opening that general store? What’s going on? Did she catch a cold or something?

While I was deep in thought, the two women came out wearing the clothes they had chosen.

"Oh...!"

With an unexpected feast for my eyes, I could only stare at the two women.

"Fufu ♥ How is it, Lucian?"

Aki, dressed in a yukata embroidered with sky-blue waves.

She awkwardly struck a pose and even sent a wink.

It was flowy, but up close, I could see it was made of quite durable material.

"Tch."

Lumina came out wearing a pure white bikini with only a red jacket over it and lower half a battle short.

It was light, yet perfectly suited for combat—a fashion truly befitting her.

"Oh, both of you look absolutely great! Amazing! The clothes have truly met their owners!"

I can’t believe I actually said such a cheesy line. Aki smiled contentedly.

"Ufufuf, I’m not wearing anything underneath♥"

"Huh, huh?!"

"Yukatas are originally worn without underwear, you seeee♥"

Oh, I see. I quickly paid and left the clothing store.

Lumina glanced at me, then subtly spoke.

"Kuhum, thanks, Lucian."

"Don’t mention it. But you really look comfortable, don’t you?"

"It has to be this comfortable. Kikiki, if I just take off my jacket and short, I can immediately go swimming too."

"Nice, very nice."

If we go on an adventure, we’ll encounter oceans and valleys. Besides, if you look closely at Lumina right now, you can see a cameltoe.

This makes it even better, doesn’t it? Hehe.

As we stepped out onto the street, Aki hugged my left arm.

"While we’re at it, I’d like to greet Lucian’s Aunt♥"

"G-greetings...?"

"Yes! We’re comrades now, aren’t we?"

"Ah, then let’s go."

So that’s what kind of greeting it was? I was surprised, thinking she was suddenly going to take me as her husband. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

I arrived home with the women. When I got home, I heard voices talking, so I quickly went inside.

"Still, it’s a relief you’ll be staying for a while. Make yourself comfortable."

"Sis, you’ve really mellowed out. Before, you used to ignore me without a second thought, didn’t you?"

"Oh my, when did I ever?"

"Ah, was it just me who felt that way? Ha."

"Who would ignore you, a Saintess recognized by the Empire?"

Aunt was drinking tea with someone. Strange, that woman across from her. Who is she?

"Who was it again?"

I kept looking, but I could only tilt my head. I definitely saw her somewhere before.

But the other person, seeing me, immediately acted as if she knew me.

"Oh, aren’t you Lucian? Oh my... Lucian, my Lucian!"

"Huh?"

"Oh my goodness, oh, look at those muscles, you’ve become a full-grown man?!"

The woman approached, caressing my arm.

She was a woman with fresh orange-red medium-length hair, green eyes, and thin, sky-blue cross-shaped irises.

Her 80D glamorous figure was even more accentuated when seen up close.

It was enough to make me want to bury my face between her ample breasts.

Being so close, her perfume-like scent grew even stronger.

Moreover, her voluptuous breasts seemed clearly visible through her thin clothes. I searched through my memories.

"No way... Auntie? You’re Auntie Sharia Canape, right?!"

"Yes, you finally recognize me? Fufufu, I thought you were absolutely adorable ever since you were a baby! I’m a little hurt, you know?"

My jaw dropped. Lucian had... no, Aunt had a sister.

Sharia Canape, a Saintess recognized by the Empire, also known as the Frost Saintess.

She was a person with a cold and blunt personality, so she wasn’t popular.

So this person was my auntie. And yeah aunt and auntie are different.

I immediately introduced the women. When I said they were members who would go on adventures with me, my auntie was even more surprised.

"Our Lucian has even formed a Hero party now? And a foundation too!"

"It turned out that way, haha!"

"Wonderful. You’ve truly become a respectable man. This... makes me want you even more, doesn’t it? Fufufu."

My auntie finished speaking and sent a sticky eye-smile.

Then Aunt pouted.

"You’re still coveting my son, aren’t you? Sharia, you fool!"

At that, my auntie’s face immediately turned cold. She looked emotionless, as if her feelings had vanished.

"I don’t have everything like you. Why? Is this not allowed either?"

Her voice was as chilly as her expression. It sounded so cold that anyone would cut ties with her.

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned chilly. This was probably the side of her that my auntie usually showed to people.

I was flustered. Although there seemed to be an age gap between her and my aunt, her older sister, my auntie was actually almost the same age as Angela.

Even so, I wondered if the sisters had a bad relationship. Aunt sighed, unlike other times, and her smile vanished.

My auntie continued to glare at Aunt.

"Uh, uh-oh...."

"Kuhum..."

Aki and Lumina were speechless and flustered. No, not this atmosphere!

"Ahahaha! Aunt, I’m hungry! Give me some snacks, snacks! And Auntie, we haven’t met in a long time, so please tell me some interesting stories! Sharia Canape, the Saintess recognized by the Empire! Hyaa, so cool!"

I tried to lighten the mood. Something only I could do, while others couldn’t.

Because for these two women, there would be no one as special as me.

Soon, Aunt smiled and stood up.

"Just a moment, son!"

My auntie also smiled.

"Shall we do that, then? Auntie will be staying here for a while, you see."

The atmosphere lightened again. I was able to have many conversations with my auntie.

It was nice to see a beauty like my auntie, but dealing with her was still difficult. How strange.

A woman who makes things difficult for me. For her, I felt even more desire.
