30. I Have No Choice but to Make a Harem

Delfina lay limp and exhausted across the bed.

Having spent over two hours loving her non-stop without a single break, she was completely drained and listless. On the other end, I felt totally fine—or rather, not even remotely satisfied.

When I thought about it calmly, it was astonishing, but that realization only made me want more and more. It felt like eating a snack when you weren’t even hungry, only for it to instantly trigger a massive appetite. Something like that.

I had never experienced anything like this before. To be completely honest, my stamina had always been entirely average. Could it be that… my physical vitality and libido had also been multiplied by 777?

「……Looks like it definitely has.」

I muttered to myself, staring down at a certain part of my anatomy that showed zero signs of settling down. Even after going at it more than ten times, I was still in this state, which meant the cheat was unequivocally active.

I still wanted more, both physically and in terms of grinding out gacha tickets. I picked up a lottery ticket that had materialized right beside Delfina on the bed. Before this session started, that ticket hadn’t been there; it had clearly dropped as a reward for loving Delfina.

While I wanted to keep going—both for the physical gratification and the ticket drops—I couldn’t bring myself to push Delfina past her absolute limits.

Hmm, what should I do?

「I’m sorry……」

「Hmm?」

「I’m sorry I can’t be of more use to you……」 Delfina apologized in a languid, exhausted whisper.

「Don’t worry about it.」

If my stamina was genuinely multiplied by 777, there was no physical way a single woman could handle it on her own anyway. So it certainly wasn’t Delfina’s fault.

It wasn’t an unwelcome problem, but practically speaking, it was a major headache. To be frank, the only person I was in that kind of intimate relationship with right now was Delfina. If she gave up, I literally had no other partners left.

…Handle it myself?

No, that would be utterly depressing, and it definitely wouldn’t yield any lottery tickets. Logic dictated that solo solutions wouldn’t trigger the drop system, and somehow, I just knew that for a fact.

「I will summon a maid for you…….」

「A maid? You mean Miu?」

「Yes, she can take my place as Yuuki-sama’s partner…」

「Ah, Miu isn’t really that kind of girl.」

「Eh?」

「Eh?」

Delfina blinked in genuine surprise. After collecting herself, she offered another suggestion.

「Then what about that magician?」

「Io? Io’s a different story, too.」

「Eh? Then Her Highness Helene……」

「Not even Helene.」

「Yuuki-sama…… if I may ask, do you have any other romantic partners besides me?」

「……None.」

There was no point in hiding it, so I answered honestly. If I didn’t have any, I didn’t have any—there was no changing that fact.

「Is that so?」

「Yeah.」

「I honestly thought Her Highness and the young magician were already your partners.」

Well, it certainly looked that way from the outside. Or rather, I intended for Helene to be one by now. It was just that our timing kept getting derailed; she visited frequently, but always had to rush back to her royal duties. Consequently, we hadn’t crossed that line yet.

Helene.

The mere thought of her made me flare up with intense desire. I was horny, rock-hard, and facing an agonizingly difficult dilemma.

「Umm, Yuuki-sama.」

「Yes?」

「I’ve recovered just a tiny bit, so I wanted to let you know that……」 Delfina murmured shyly.

Though she still looked subtly sore, I felt deeply touched by her resilience and tender consideration. I pulled her down against the mattress and whispered a soft 「Thank you」 directly against her ear.

The horniness persisted unabated into the following day.

That morning, when Io arrived as usual, we formed our party and headed out to our daily routine of hunting mountain oxen and mining Orikudite. But throughout the entire trip, I couldn’t stop glancing sidelong at her.

Io was dressed in her standard, full-coverage magician robes, but paradoxically, the tiny slivers of bare skin exposed in the gaps of her attire looked dangerously alluring. Just looking at her drove my libido through the roof.

I ended up taking all my pent-up frustration out on an Orikuto.

I smashed it to pieces with Eleanor, smashed it again the second it regenerated, and pulverized it a third time the moment it tried to reform. It was the magical equivalent of venting stress through heavy athletics—I poured every ounce of my energy into the slaughter.

Yet, it achieved almost nothing. The raw horniness only intensified rather than subsided. Realizing I was in a genuinely dangerous state, I came up with an excuse and parted ways with Io early.

After leaving her behind, I wandered alone out into the open meadows. Staying out here felt far safer than locking myself in a crowded city street. Roizen had plenty of young, attractive girls wandering about; if I walked into town right now in this condition, I might genuinely go berserk and commit a felony.

I waited out in the fields until the sun dipped below the horizon, and at the appointed evening hour, I used my Warp Feather to pick up Delfina.

When I materialized in her room, however, she wasn’t alone. Helene was there with her.

Helene wasn’t wearing her usual practical ninja gear; instead, she had donned the exact same elegant dress she wore when we first met—a stunning piece that revealed plenty of skin and emphasized her voluptuous bust while maintaining absolute royal elegance.

The moment my eyes locked onto her, I completely detonated.

⸻

Back inside the bedroom of the mansion, both Helene and Delfina lay slumped entirely flat across the bed.

After I loved them repeatedly to the point of passing out multiple times, the two of them were completely exhausted and listless. And yet, I was still fully engorged and felt entirely unsatisfied.

The scene was an exact carbon copy of the previous night, save for the fact that my partners had doubled to two.

「E-Even the two of us… aren’t enough to handle him……」

「Naturally, it’s…… Kakeru-sama we’re talking about……」

「My body simply cannot take any more……」

Delfina’s breathless murmurs drifted to my ears. As a man, hearing myself described in such terms didn’t feel bad in the slightest.

On the bright side, I had successfully secured another lottery ticket. Since this was my first ticket drop after crossing the tenth round of intimacy since last night, and it only yielded one single ticket, it confirmed that drops weren’t scaled by the number of partners involved. Much like slaying monsters, the reward triggers were likely governed by a random drop rate.

I would have liked to run a few more trials to verify the mechanics, but both women had explicitly declared their bodies were at their absolute limit. I had no desire to overwork and break my own partners.

Helene and Delfina were my women. I had zero inclination to crush the women I cared about for personal amusement. Keeping them close and cherishing them for the long term was infinitely better than burning them out.

……And right as I was thinking that, another massive wave of horniness crashed over me.

Setting aside the gacha tickets, as a red-blooded man, my biological drive was simply demanding release. I looked over at the two wrecks collapsed on the mattress. I knew for a fact I couldn’t force them any further.

Just as I was mentally scanning my options, wondering if I had enough cash lying around to hire a professional—a sharp knock echoed at the bedroom door.

──Thump, thump.

「Master, Io is here to── Hyahn!」

「Kakeru-san, could it be that today you’re feeling── Kyaa!」

Miu and Io stumbled straight into the room.

Veritable moths flying straight into an open flame. Miu was my bound slave, my personal maid, and my legal property, while Io—according to Eleanor’s acute psychological assessment—was a devout “believer” who utterly adored me.

Without a second thought, I pushed them both down onto the bed.

⸻

The number of panting, heaving bodies strewn across the mattress had now increased to four.

For Miu and Io, it was their first time experiencing my full output, leaving them completely shattered. Helene and Delfina, meanwhile, were driven past the point of exhaustion.

And yet, I was still standing there, entirely hard.

I’m in trouble.

My level of trouble transcended ordinary definitions of panic. Staring around the room in desperation for literally anything that could provide a release (though realistically knowing nothing could), my eyes landed on Eleanor leaning casually against the far wall.

(N-No way! You can’t possibly do that with me!)

Eleanor’s terrified, squeaking voice echoed directly inside my head.

「Of course not, you idiot.」

While I was still horny enough to feel like my skin was about to split open, even I had basic standards. There was zero physical possibility of doing anything with Eleanor while she remained trapped in her sword form.

At least, not unless she took on her temporary little-girl avatar form from the lottery room—though thinking about that was dangerously close to crossing a line.

「Master is a total demon…… sniffle」

「Kakeru-san really is a monster after all……」

Miu and Io mumbled incoherently from the pillows. Miu looked vaguely disgruntled, while Io wore the most utterly spellbound, dazed expression among the four of them.

The sight of those two sparked yet another fresh wave of horniness within me. Combined with the lingering lust I felt for the completely limp forms of Helene and Delfina beside them…

Even to myself, my condition felt utterly monstrous.

⸻

The next morning, I stood tall in an imposing posture, bathing in the early morning sunlight.

Behind me, four women were crumpled across the massive bed, their faces melted into expressions of absolute, boneless bliss.

After pushing past a hundred rounds of continuous action, I finally secured a total of three lottery tickets, and my biological system finally settled down enough to let me function normally without daily disruptions.

The events of the past forty-eight hours had solidified my resolve.

To efficiently grind out gacha tickets. And, just as importantly, to keep my women from accidentally working themselves to death from exhaustion.

「Let’s build a harem.」

I declared it aloud to the empty morning air.
