Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Master Reborn as the Strongest's Slow Life (4)

A defense battle in the infirmary, literally, refers to a man with limits facing a large number of women.

Women also have limits to their stamina and mental energy, but not as much as men.

At least as far as I know, Chinese emperors had numerous concubines in addition to their wives, and they had to schedule it so they were with different women every day.

Since they were emperors, even the crown prince could face unforeseen events... There's a joke that this is why their lifespans were short.

From my perspective, it's true.

Whether for the emperor's love or for the purpose of having children, they must have planned it meticulously.

My side? The former.

"Master, your face looks a bit haggard..."

"Ahh... Manbun-kun was a king, right? Were you like this too, Manbun-kun?"

"No, not to this extent..."

"Nemo was definitely Triton, a child of Poseidon, right?"

"As Triton, I certainly had children... but to that extent, even Poseidon would give up."

"How do you know."

"The Nurse told me..."

"Sigh..."

Life isn't easy. Are they saying to repay my debt with my body?

"Oh? Is sexual intercourse that difficult?"

""...""

And then Enkidu, who did it with the Sacred Prostitute for a week, no, two weeks, asked as if wondering what was so hard about it.

A truly different kind of 'big' from the King of Heroes.

"Now I feel like even if I get NTR'd, I won't care. Can't Nemo and the Mariners become everyone's secret friends?"

"You know that doujinshi drawn by Osakabehime was burned by them and Hime was executed, right?"

"Executed...?"

"Among them, there's a rumor that those who saw it tried to execute masculinity."

"With a guillotine, you mean?"

Evande...

Just imagining it makes my legs go numb.

"Most of the women in Chaldea like you, Master, in the first place."

"When drinking with the guys, Mr. Fergus always laments."

"According to my memory, there are many good women, but no one pays them any attention. Right? Most either like Master, or are devoted to one person like Brynhildr and Kriemhild, or this time, the Queen of Sheba."

"Heh heh..."

The men of Chaldea have it tough.

"So, Master. How about the next Servant? Who, or rather, what gender are you going for?"

A question from an interested Enkidu. Actually, I have some members in mind, but...

"We don't have any Saint Quartz now anyway, right? In the first place, Ritsuka is going to summon a Servant soon, so there's no need to summon one."

"I see. Then I'll change the question. You said you'll narrow down the personnel from now on? So how many are you going to take?"

"... Six."

Taking everyone is still too tough. So, I think around six is appropriate.

After researching the status screen, it's not that I can't call those in Chaldea. However, it requires using a Command Spell. Command Spells are cheap.

It doesn't cost Saint Quartz, you see.

"Then, how are you going to take them?"

"First, you three. None of you had satisfactory activity, right? And... the recently arrived Tiamat and Nightingale. The last one I'm pondering. Taiga complains she hasn't had her moment... Melusine, Bunyan, Taiga. I'm debating among these three."

"Won't the other members have a fit...? I'm worried about what they'll do to Master before you go."

"I'll have to use a Command Spell and give a strong refusal..."

I don't want this real doll life...

[Ahh~ Humpty-kun, if you're not busy now, I'd like you to come to the summoning room~]

A moment later, Da Vinci's broadcast was heard. So, it seems Ritsuka is going to summon. Let's go for now.

Going to the summoning room with the three, Ritsuka, Mash, and X were there. Why is she here?

"If a Saber appears, I will slay it."

"Hmm."

I wonder how it will turn out...

"Now now~ Since Romani collapsed, I came instead. The prepared Saint Quartz total 12. You have 4 chances. Confident? Ritsuka-chan."

"I'll try!"

"Don't let a Saber appear don't let a Saber appear don't let a Saber appear"

That guy is cursing over there...

As the 12 Saint Quartz disappear, a summoning light occurs... Along with three bowls of mapo tofu, a large man was summoned.

"Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Toshizo."

The Demon Vice-Commander, the Pickles Master appearing here...! A 5-star in 4 attempts? Your luck is unusual...!

"The Shinsengumi...! On school trips, someone always bought a haori or a bokuto! What's your Class!?"

"Class? That doesn't matter. With me here, this place is the Shinsengumi. Are you still just kids smelling of milk?"

That guy... Well, he liked big-breasted women. Since Ritsuka and Mash are young, maybe they're outside his acceptable range. He's a gentleman too.

"Since it doesn't seem to be a Saber, let's move on."

"Huh? ... What is it, Okita. So you were here too."

"Huh?"

"Good. If it's the Shinsengumi, you should be here."

"Who~ is Sakura Saber!? Look, I'm completely different!"

"Antennae, face, slender build, sword. Okita-kun."

"What is with this Berserker!?"

Hmm, X got properly mistaken, huh.

"Let's get out before we get involved."

It seems like it'll be troublesome, so let's run away quickly...

"You there, you have a good bokuto."

"H, huh?"

Thump...

"Run! If you get caught, you'll become part of the Shinsengumi!"

"M, Master!?"

"Sorry! But this is men's friendship!"

We ran from the Berserker who didn't yield to logic or force, and I prayed for Manbun-kun's peaceful rest.

"That event Berserker-san is hard to deal with."

"If he fought Ishtar, Ishtar would die from stress, haha."

"Phew... Ritsuka's future doesn't look bright either."

They are Servants I don't have. In the first place, even if you try to summon them, they have to appear for you to have them.

Still, someone like Hijikata, though not that strong as a modern-era Heroic Spirit, is a Servant with decent combat power.

Though I'm worried about the future.

"Still, he has decent combat power, so it's okay. He's not the type to bother Ritsuka or Mash either."

"Hey, Master?"

"Yeah? Why, Enkidu──"

Enkidu poked my back with a finger, so I looked back... The female members were staring at me. What's this...?

"I heard you limited the Servants you're taking... Why am I not included?"

"Well, that's... It's because I want those who haven't had much activity to be active? If everyone goes together it gets complicated..."

"What a pity... I want to be with Master, that's too much... Sob sob..."

"From before, even if not for combat, you took me along, right? Doing this now is disappointing, Master."

"Nyaa~ I'm a candidate so I don't mind, but I'm not confirmed yet, right?"

"For repeated main stories like always, I'm the fastest...!"

"Leaving me, the strongest, behind? Aren't you supposed to keep your lover by your side?"

Hmm... Where did the story leak from...? No, that doesn't matter. How do I persuade them...?

"Everyone, calm down, please? You're expecting too much affection from Master. Master is human too. How about giving Master some freedom? If you're not careful, he might get tired of you, you know?"

The Captain stepped forward to persuade them, but...

"... Were we a bother to you?"

"It's not that you're a bother, but I do think the obsession is a bit excessive and problematic. I don't dislike you, I want to get along with everyone well. Can't you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, but the atmosphere seemed understanding.

"Certainly, I thought Master was under stress ever since he said he wasn't a real doll."

"But is that so?"

Shiki just smiled, going "fufufu." She really is like Manaka.

"Actually, we had our own discussion. If we all do it together, a bloodbath will break out. So, how about one person per day?"

Melusine said with a smile. Hmm...

"One person per day, 1 hour."

"Ehh~"

"1 hour is incredibly long too!"

What, do you think this is an AV!?

"Still, thank you for understanding..."

Still, this much is pretty good, right?

"Huh? What? A request?"

"Yeah. Can you draw a door? One connected to the Singularity."

"Ehh~ No matter how much it's for you, honestly it's a troublesome task... No choice? Leave it to me. But, it will only connect to the sea."

"That's enough. No matter how much it's Master's request... Being apart from Master, I dislike that even more..."
