Day 591 in This World
Continent 2, 4 AM
Splish-splash~
Seaneight's body soaks in the warm water of the luxurious, pricey tub, letting out a soft moan from her throat while shifting her legs slightly to adjust her position.
"Hmm?"
A report from the beast scouts at the southern city gate: a group of soldiers is returning? Eh, probably no big deal.
Splash~
Since Day 470, when I first set foot on Continent 2, I've been mulling over whether I should keep lurking in the shadows, sending crafted bodies to nudge protagonists like heroes, letting them drive the story to its end while preserving Grace's life for Melt.
On Continent 1, where I feel like a big shot, it's doable… But looking at other continents? My power's weaker, and getting close to heroes who didn't start from zero is tough, right? They're already strong and famous…
Add to that, the Goddesses don't care about regular folks unless they stand out too much (honestly, even weirdos like Fipa, Nerim, Waan, and Rejeen haven't raised suspicions). So why not conquer the world a bit more flamboyantly, yet still sneaky?
That's when I decided to take on a new role—something that lets me move freely and differs from before, but still feels like a side character… a side character with massive influence.
And that's sending "perfectly tailored" female bodies to cities across all continents, slowly crafting scenarios and achievements to worm my way into noble families. You can guess how, right? (Heh heh, that's why I dropped that disclaimer last chapter!)
It's the usual playbook: scout the specs of the ladies that big shots can't resist, then craft women who match their tastes so perfectly they can't say no. (Oh, I mostly target single playboys or sleazy, multi-wifed jerks, not stealing husbands from good women or hurting decent guys—calm down, no need to curse me yet!) For good folks or women, I try to infiltrate high ranks with the same idea.
Build achievements through various means, approach with different tactics, become part of their lives. In just 3-4 months across all cities, I've nailed over 25% of them. Sure, the fastest way often means burning a body…
Take Seaneight. Her story was easy. Port cities are a breeze, honestly… Inland cities are trickier to spin tales for.
A warrior girl from another continent, seeking a better future, fights off a monster swarm attacking the deputy lord's son, who was out leveling up with soldiers and nearly died. The flirty, single deputy lord's son offers money and a job to win her heart.
And how do you win a lustful playboy's heart? When he's been through tons of women, you make him feel this woman's too good to replace—no one else can satisfy him and his… little friend like her! Using every trick in my playbook, I make sure he's never bored, every night. Yup, 5+ rounds a night… record's 15.
With Seaneight's power, I don't even need a new body. It's perfect for the job, and I don't have to burn myself out.
The "imaginative" bliss Seaneight gives him? The deputy lord's son's girlfriend spot isn't far off…
Yup, every city my bodies reach, I'll infiltrate and control!
In this city, I've wormed into other deputy lords' kids, merchants, soldiers, knights, and wealthy families. Even the lord himself—whose son is married with a 7-year-old kid—I've infiltrated as a servant to the lord's wife, a knight by the son's wife, and a stand-in maid for the son's daughter!
Heh heh… Impressive, right, everyone!? All this in just 120 days.
Imagine this: once I have enough side-character power, passing missions, hiring, or requesting anything will be as easy as peeling a banana. Then I'll build a Dummy Army…
…
"Hmm?"
Those returning soldiers—one group split off to this mansion? At 4, almost 5 AM? What's that about? They started with 5, but one's missing, leaving 4?
From the small critters' naked-eye view in the mansion, that guy's gone… I don't want to use high-level detection in case they have anti-detection skills.
Feels fishy.
Splash! Swoosh~
Seaneight (me) decides to get out of the tub, water dripping off her soaked body, wet hair clinging to her skin, her ample chest looking oh-so-seductive.
She hurries out of the bathroom to dry off and check what's happening outside.
Thump-thump-thump… Thud-thud… Thump-thump…
"Ohhh, my little Rab, ohhh, Seaneight, you're no match for me in bed… Ohhh, ohhh!!"
"…"
Still not done with round 11, huh…
End of Chapter 80
