Seikishin -Saint Doll- Chapter 24

The party arrived at the Aircraft parking lot at midnight, they took a nap in the provided resting room and then marched on in the morning with a carriage just as planned. They managed to arrive at the “Academy” without any incident, save for Yuri who had been complaining that her a.s.s hurts from riding the swaying horse drawn carriage.

“It’s amazing”
“Yeah”

The huge entrance gate cannot be compared with the one in Yutarika village. After they pa.s.sed this gate, they would arrive at the city that they can see from far away when their surrounding had become wheat fields. After seeing the sight of “Academy” which can contain its city and agricultural land inside its Divine Barrier, Shin is gasping in awe.

“To some extent, all big cities will look like this. Food production would be unstable if it was done outside the barrier and there are many risks involved too, so we use the resonance phenomenon between the Divine Pillar to cover a huge area including the farmland”
“What’s those three walls on the side ?”
“Ah, the closest one to us is the commerce district, you can find many commercial facilities and the majority of normal people houses inside it. You can go there if you need to do some errands or want to have some fun and also if you have some business with the Adventurer Guild. ……It’s also the place to go when someone want to embrace commoner men or women”
“Ahaha……”

Even though it had been explained in detail, there are still some parts about s.e.xual act where they’re not convinced yet. Yutarika village is pretty secretive in how they dealt with matters related to s.e.x. However if you go into a big city, you can find facilities where the commoner woman will pay money to use the lodging so men can let out s.e.m.e.n inside them. Adventurers can use the place for free if they show their adventurer’s card, and the place is used by those who wants to let out some acc.u.mulated s.e.m.e.n but can’t be troubled to embrace the woman. It was said the men would use it just like how they would use a public toilet.
Such facilities and also lodgings for lovers exist in this place as well. It flourished because there are many commoners and n.o.bles who aren’t fully prepared for the society and also adventurers who haven’t moved to the outside world yet.

“Then that one would be the Academy main building. It looks like the biggest one because it’s close to the gate. Most of the land is filled with training s.p.a.ce for people and Artificial G.o.d, also stuff related to maintenance”

When he take a look at it, Shin could see a big school-like building and wide area of land spread beyond it. In estimation, there are around 1000 people of students and staff combined in there. A school which can hold that amount of people surely can be considered huge, even if the two see only parts of it, it’s still a spectacle that leave them stunned.

“Then lastly, there’s the student area in the middle. It’s composed of the male dormitories, female dormitories, and residential area. The residential area is separated into the n.o.ble district and commoner district. Anyone would be able to stay in the commoner area if they pay the rent, but you need to have position equivalent to a n.o.ble to live in the other side. By the way, the two of you shall live in the n.o.ble district”

“Got it”

That place shall be their destination for today, and so after claiming their understanding, the two are staring at the flowing scenery where stalks of wheat were spread beside them. Each stalk was tall like a tree, and the landscape could be misunderstood as the peaceful countryside from somewhere else. However if

they were to move their sight, they would spot gigantic wall that stood even taller like it was trying to crush their delusion.

Thus while holding complex emotion within his heart, Shin’s body kept being rocked by the moving horse carriage.

□■□
Evening came.

It was afternoon when they crossed the gate, even though Shin was amazed by how much time it took to arrive at their destination even though they were just travelling in straight line, his surprise was overshadowed by the “house” standing in front of his eyes. It was built in western style and included a garden worthy of a large house. The gate glittering in golden color isn’t actually built with gold, but it was obvious that it still cost quite a lot to be built. Then before the two person who were dumbfounded like they just saw the house of a very important person, Akatsuki sighed as she had finally finished her job.

“Huff. This place shall be your house, since you’ll be living here together with other people, please consult them about the rules of the house. I’ll be joining with Tsubaki and prepare for tomorrow’s lesson. Ah, considering the large number of people, you might end up drawing some antagonism, also speaking in general, there won’t be anything like an entrance ceremony or the likes.

Shin was surprised that they would jump straight into the first day of the cla.s.s without any introduction. Apparently the reason for this is because the very first headmaster of the Academy had said stuff like “Doing a speech in front of everyone is too troublesome, so let’s just have the teacher explain it in the cla.s.s” in the past, but no one knows about that little fact anymore.

“Well then, I’ll be off”

Since there’s the possibility of attracting the surrounding eyes, Akatsuki greeted the two of them with the att.i.tude of a superior as she rode the carriage again. In Shin’s eyes, the way those two b.r.e.a.s.t.s jiggle as the owner moved into the carriage is unchanged until the end. Then when the carriage had disappeared out of sight, Shin looked back at the house again and touched the gate anxiously.

“Wow”

The gate opened in silence without any resistance. Shin doesn’t know whether it involved some kind of mechanism or it actually used some kind of power, but even though it wasn’t that extraordinary, he was sure it had multiplied the cost of the gate. Then Shin moved on and pressed his hand on the entrance door and stepped into the house, or to be more precise, stepped into the mansion.

“I thought something had happened since you took your time coming inside”

A voice resounded at the same time Shin entered the mansion. There’s a girl standing on the stairway near the entrance hall with a beautiful golden hair that flows freely on her back and extended until her waist. She wore a red dress where the lower part resemble a skirt and had a radiant smile befitting her dignified appearance as she walked down the stairs.
Behind her, there’s a girl wearing a maid outfit which makes the atmosphere surrounding them feel very princess-like. Both of them then stopped their feet as they stood in front of Shin.

“Err, He- h.e.l.lo”
“Ni-nice to meet you”

Against the two who stuttered their greetings, the girl gracefully lowered her head without distorting her smile.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Rubilia=Sein-…… No, please call me Rubilia. I would like to offer my grat.i.tude in advance as a fellow companion in the Miko department and also as someone who will be living together here”
“Nice to meet you, my name is Lapis. I am Rubilia-sama’s maid  partner, but I am going to receive the lesson from the Miko department as well”

“Ah, I’m Shin. I’m a Special Adventurer and also Yuri’s partner”
“My name is Yuri, Shin-chan’s partner. Please treat me well in the Miko Department”
“Fea here!! I love sparkling things and sweets!!””

Toward the girls who introduced themselves politely, Shin who had forgotten to mention his name introduced himself again in a hurry. Then lastly as Fea the bonus introduces herself, the atmosphere of the place had turned into a relaxed one.

“Let’s continue during our meal. You don’t need to worry about the formal and strict stuff, of course we have sweets too”

Rubilia smiled gently as she speaks while watching the two of them, meanwhile Lapis is opening the door in the back and acted as a guide.

“Over here if you may. The preparation for the meal is already finished”

The Five of them are having dinner together.

Shin was alarmed when Lapis’ att.i.tude had changed and wondered whether the polite person from earlier was actually different person, but all in all the dinner with the five of them proceeded smoothly.

“Well, basically it’s like that”
“Yeah, we were late in receiving our test result so we barely make it in time”

While enjoying the fine cuisine flavored with plenty of spices for the first time, Shin and Yuri explained to Rubilia that they experienced delay with their test result, so Instructor Akatsuki had went out of her way to pick them up so they won’t be late for their first day of the cla.s.s. They also informed her that there’s a patron backing them up, but they didn’t mention any name.

“By the way, does that mean Shin-sama is already a full-fledged Adventurer ?”
“Yeah, I’m still lacking in many parts but I guess I’m one”

Shin answered Rubilia’s question without hesitation. Even though they’re just students, they had been taught the minimum amount of manners needed to interact with Rubilia casually. So by paying small attention to their words, both parties were able to understand each other and have a nice dinner.
“So that would mean your blessing is related to [Strength], right ?”
“Ah no, It’s [Creation]”
“That’s amazing, isn’t it ? I heard that the Blessed with power of [Creation] would have a hard time to fight as Adventurer in front line”
“Shin can even defeat Mad Boar by himself you know~”
When the two are continuing their conversation, Fea suddenly cut in with her remarks. She had been rolling in the table while using her feet as the center point, and 10 out of 10 people that saw her would claim that she’s drunk.
“……It’s her second helping of the aperitif”
Shin explained that this is just the usual toward Lapis who explained while sounding somewhat apologetic, meanwhile Rubilia is staring at his face while he tried to continue eating.
“Did you defeat the Mad Boar alone ?”
“Yeah, somehow Akatsuki-san was surprised too even though Gain-san also said he can defeat it by himself”
“By Gain, you mean that [Gain the Great Axe] ?”
“Ah yeah, he was called that wasn’t he”
While Shin was answering Rubilia’s question, Lapis had interrupted him from the side and asked her own question. Shin is quite taken aback by the unusual atmosphere, but after he gave further explanation the two girl relaxed their shoulder as if they were convinced by something. As for Yuri, she was gulping her wine while looking all pleased after seeing the two of them were amazed at what Shin just said.
“I can understand if it’s the Great Axe, perhaps it’s also not too far-fetched for someone studying under that person”
“I concur. But being able to solo Mad Boar is still quite unbelievable”
“I guess this is because it’s something on the level of veteran Adventurer……Things might go crazy if I mentioned about the rest and Varaha”
After seeing the reaction of the two, Shin muttered in small voice that can’t be heard by others like he was trying to remind himself not to make any further mistake.

“Shin-sama, allow me to give you an advice then”
“Yes ?”
“I recommend you to keep the fact that you defeated a Mad Boar a secret. Mad Boar is an opponent that would even make veterans struggle. If people heard that someone who is just a student defeated it, I’m sure you’re going to gather the attention of some unfriendly fellow. There might be one jewel in around ten rocks, but sorting those out is not something that Shin-sama should be troubled with”
After giving those advice, Rubilia is making a bitter smile not long after she finished her sentence.

“Besides that, do you have any plan to pick me and Lapis up ?”
“Pick you up ?”
Shin have an idea of what Rubilia might be implying with her question, but he still dared himself to ask for confirmation.
“I’m well aware that Shin-sama is Yuri-san’s partner, however would it be fine for you to embrace me and Lapis from time to time? Is what I’m saying”
“By the way, Rubilia-san’s partner is……”
“Yes, it’s Lapis. It’s possible to nominate a woman to become a Miko’s partner under the guise of escort, but of course they won’t be able to help them with gathering Divine Power”

After hearing her words, Shin’s expression turned a little cloudy. A Miko must be embraced by a man. Yuri had Shin in that regard, so there won’t be any problems. However there are lot of Apprentice Miko who don’t have any partner. So as Shin recalled the fate of n.o.ble women who still rather choose to become one, he can’t help but to be lost in thought.

“Rubilia-san, what do you think about the fact that Miko must be held by men?”
“If I have to answer that as myself and not as a Miko, then [It cannot be helped]. If I have to choose between becoming a Miko or death, then I will never choose death because I haven’t gave up on my life yet. Ah by the way, my virginity had been scattered by Lapis already. I told her that I don’t mind having a tool as my partner”
“Rubilia-sama, you shouldn’t forget about Yuri-sama’s wish”

While Shin was feeling relieved that Rubilia’s idea of virtue isn’t that different compared to them, he remembered that Yuri had been listening while sitting right next to him, and so all three pairs of eyes moved toward her altogether.

“Please excuse me Yuri-san. I’ve been saying some rude things in front of you, his partner”
“Mn, I don’t mind”
Yuri, however, was calm and doesn’t show any sign of anger.
“If Shin-chan wants to hold Rubilia-san, then I won’t oppose it”
“Is that true ?”
“Yes, but please don’t force him to do it. If Shin-chan think that Rubilia-san is better, then it’s fine for him not to embrace me. If Shin-chan told me to sleep with another man, then I’m going to search for one”
After exclaiming that far, Yuri calmed herself down.
“That is an awful way of saying it, but the thing I don’t want the most is being thrown away by Shin-chan. If Shin-chan ordered it, I’ll even sleep with dog. If Shin-chan thinks that I’ve become a bother, then I wish for him to refuse me clearly. It’s because…… I’m not strong enough, to endure one-sided love”
“……I’m not letting you go”
“Eh ?”
“I said I will never let you go. You belong to me Yuri”
He stopped Yuri’s voice and kiss her on the cheek, then after thinking while closing his eyes for a while, Shin turned his face toward Rubilia.

“Rubilia-san, I have a proposal”
“What is it ?”
“To be perfectly frank, I feel pity for Rubilia-san. That’s why I want to accept you, but my most important person will always be Yuri. So If things are going fine after sleeping with Yuri, then I want to do what I can with Rubilia-san and Lapis-san. However at the end I want to sleep together with Yuri at the same bed”
After finishing his sentence, Shin stares straight at Rubilia’s face.

“If you’re fine with such terrible treatment, then……”

Soon after that, Rubilia’s laughter echoed inside the room.

“Ahahahahahaha-, Ha-, Ahah-!! Huff-, Wa- water please, Lapis”

Rubilia laughed by herself until she had some trouble breathing, then she drink the water that Lapis gave her in one gulp. She’s still breathing roughly afterward, and her current state can be said not to resemble a lady at all. She only managed to settle down after some time has pa.s.sed, and then she raised her face toward Shin.

“……Please excuse me, I didn’t expect to hear such surprising words. There’s no doubt about it, right Lapis ?”
“Yes, Shin-sama is definitely a hero from different world”
“Wha!?”
After hearing those words, Shin’s complexion changed, but then Rubilia waved her hands while making a bitter smile.

“A blessed men is a privileged cla.s.s who can embrace any woman. Even if one doesn’t say anything, women would still gather for them. Their position is one where they can play around and compare the feeling of another woman’s hole while having a lover of their own. So for someone with the power of a veteran cla.s.s adventurer, describing that you would only hold someone after embracing your partner as a terrible treatment is the same thing like giving away your origin”
“For a blessed person, a woman is the same as a ‘hole’. The same can be said for the n.o.bles, and even commoners would also hold the same belief. The final factor for an Apprentice Miko to be chosen is the level of their beauty, so if one seek to embrace them, then it would be something to be happy about”

After the girls went out of their way to give explanation, Shin of course noticed his mistake.

“Well, there’s no doubt that both of us is on the level that can be considered beauties, so if you were to hesitate after receiving our invitation it actually would make us feel bad”
“From now on, I recommend you to say ‘Sorry, I have a partner’ instead. It might make the other party jealous, but at least you can convince them easily that way”
“……Thanks”
“You don’t need to worry. Right now I’m no longer a n.o.ble. I don’t need to give birth to a child, so I’m not interested with the seed of Hero. I just thought that it would be nice to be embraced by Shin-sama normally”
“If it’s someone who Rubilia-sama accept then I have no reason to refuse. ……I prefer strong men after all, disciple of that Great Axe would be awesome”

Shin couldn’t hear the later part of Lapis’ sentence that she murmured in a low voice, but for the time being he feel relieved and released the tension in his body.

“Well then, we accept your proposal. From now on, the both of us shall receive Shin-sama’s fluid-……”
“Please wait a moment!”
“Yuri!?”

But when they’re going to wrap the story up, Yuri abruptly raised her hand. Shin was surprised and didn’t expect that she would oppose the idea at such timing, but then Yuri speak loudly while wearing a serious expression.

“Is the bed in the room big!?”
“It’s the bed that n.o.bles use, so there should be some leeway even if it was used by five people”
“Then let’s sleep in one bed when that time comes! If you want some privacy, then you go to your own room, but if you want to be held by Shin-chan, you gather on his bed. Ah, I’m going to stay with Shin-chan so I don’t need my own room”

Everyone’s eyes went blank after Yuri mentioned her absurd proposal.

“Yuri, what about my privacy ?”
“I’m going to become your dish when you want to m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.e rather than having s.e.x, so you don’t need it right ? Is there anything else where you need some privacy ?”
“I…… don’t think so”

When he think about it, Yuri would also enter his room freely in their original world. He remembered that he had a hard time finding time to m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.e, and so after concluding that there shouldn’t be any problem Shin shook his head.

“Yuri-san, are you sure you’re fine with that ?”
“Hmm, one person will be riding him like a horse, one person will entertain his eyes and mouth with their crotch, and then both of his hands will do some tease and foreplay. I saw that kind of play on Shin-chan’s stuff! We’re one person short, but it should do just fine, otherwise we can also do b.u.t.t tower”
“b.u.t.t tower ?”
“Ermm, It’s a play where the girls will line up vertically while sticking their b.u.t.t out, then Shin-chan can put his thing and finger in any hole he likes”
“Do you like Shin-sama even if he’s like that ?”
“I love him”

That words flew out from Yuri’s mouth instinctively.  Shin diverted his gaze in a hurry, then under the subtle and gentle atmosphere, Yuri welcomed Rubilia and Lapis with her smile.
There’s no evil in that smile, it was a straight and very pure one.

“If you’re a woman that has been accepted by Shin-chan, then I won’t be opposed to it. As long as you don’t betray Shin-chan, then you’re an important friend of mine”
