The day after that one incident, Jack Forbes was found dead in his room with a hole on his head. The trial for his crime was therefore, nulled. Scary stuff, I wonder who killed him.
I do also wonder who will inherit the Forbes title, blood relatives perhaps? Or the emperor would just erase that name altogether. I don't really know.
Regardless, after that day, everything was quite peaceful, with Duke Forbes's death, we don't actually need to join the operations anymore, because the firearms performed way better than we had expected, according to Adam and Isabella.
So all five of us spent our time study together, train together, and play together as well.
Just like that, 15 days have passed.
During this period, I finished my Saiga-12, and I did make some basic ammo types for it as well, such as buckshot, slug, flechette, birdshot, and so on.
Because I was focusing on improving my magic, I didn't spend that much time on the guns. I wanted to master portal magic as fast as possible.
Right now, I could create around 14 to 16 linked portals that are not any farther than 25m from me, and the distance between two linked portals has cannot exceed 17m.
I was also learning Illusion magic, to improve my camouflage as well as to watch films with my girlfriends. I could project images and short clips now, we're getting there.
However, today is a little bit different, Christina has finally won against Emy in a duel. She has improved very fast, I'd say, the final score was 1/29, she is getting closer to 3 star, I think. I'll have to commend her effort, I'm moved, really, getting beaten nearly everyday all for getting a date with me.
But it is now nighttime, and needless to say, Emy is sulking quite a bit.
''Cmon, don't be that discouraged, it's just one loss, Emy.'' I said, placing my hand on Emy's arm, who has curled into a ball on the bed.
''...''
''Ah, you say something too, Liana.'' I turn to Liana, who's sitting besides me on the other side, reading a book.
''Sylvie is right, Christina is very close to a 3 star anyway, and what, you won the other 29 times, right?'' Liana turns to Emy.
''...But... I'm the weakest of us...'' Emy said, her head buried in the blanket.
''Don't worry, you'll get stronger in no time, I'll guarantee it.'' I said, hugging her from behind. ''In the first place, I'm a Saint, and Liana is three years older than you, isn't that right?''
I then give Liana a signal to move over here with my eyes, which she responds back with an understanding look.
Shortly after, we simultaneously kiss her, with my lips on the back of her head, and Liana's on her forehead.
''...''
It seems like she recovered somewhat from that. ''Right, I'll do anything you guys want today, so cheer up?''
Compensation. Compensation.
''...Really?'' Emy said, turning to me.
''Really.''

Dear mother and father, I am now somewhat regretting my decision yesterday to allow them to do whatever they wanted.
Regretting, because they were doing it even more intensely than normal, almost to the point of hurting me.
Somewhat, because I actually enjoyed it.
...I guess I love it hardcore, what can I say.
Well, it's not like they didn't ask me or anything, and I'm not actually hurt, so it's fine, my body is great for sex.
Regardless, today I will be going on a date with Christina. Yesterday after she beat Emy for the first time, she asked me very excitedly what activities I would like, so she could properly plan the date.
So I told her that I like to enjoy food and music, alongside watching plays, and the rest we should go with her preferences.
And yes, I do admit that watching those Otome Isekai plays is mildly entertaining, especially the part where the audience gets very angry.
Now then, I should probably wear a dress instead of the normal shorts. Let's see if we have something suitable.
Bur first, I need to get rid of the marks on my body, especially the neck area. Fortunately, I can use illusion magic pretty decently now, so that's not a problem.
Now throw some random clothing on first, then I need to ring the bell to call a maid, let these two sleep some more, I guess.
*ding*
After waiting for a minute, a maid came in.
''How may I help you, Your Highness?''
''Can you please bring me some good dresses? The ones for outings.''
''Understood, please wait a moment.''
-----
In the end, I chose a simple beige apron dress, with white shirt beneath it. Also, white stockings, obviously.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
I spin around before the mirror, appraising my looks.
''How do I look?'' I asked the duo, who's been sitting on the bed watching me try on dresses for a while.
''Simply amazing, if not for the fact that you're someone else's today.'' Liana said with a chilling smile.
''Exactly.'' Emy added.
''Eh~ I've already compensated you guys yesterday, no?''
''Not enough.'' Liana said firmly, Emy's just nodding in agreement.
''...Fine, I'll do it today, too.''
''Great, I think I have the motivation to train now.'' Liana said. ''Right, Emilia?''
''Mhmm.''
These two horny idiots.
-----
Walking normally to the designated location, which is the fountain in the plaza near the academy, I'm currently enjoying the morning sunlight pouring on my face.
In the distance, I could see a stunning woman wearing a red one-piece dress, sitting on the edge of the fountain, looking up at the sky.
''Hi, Christina, did you wait long?'' I said, approaching her.
She instantly turns to me. ''No, not at all. Rather than that, you're very lovely today.'' She said, smiling brilliantly.
''Thanks!'' I replied.
Christina then stands up and offers her left hand to me. ''Now then, shall we?''
I take her hand. ''Sure~''
-----
After walking hand in hand and making small talks for a few minutes, we arrived at a restaurant.
''Sylvia, did you eat yet?''
''No, I was choosing my dress earlier, so I didn't have time.''
''Great, let's have breakfast first.''
''Mhmm.''
-----
Now that we have replenished our energy, it's time for a nice Otome Isekai play again, let's see what will it be this time.
Sitting on the couch together with Christina, I rest my head onto her shoulder, which she readily accepted, even using her hand to pull my waist closer.
Alright, so, the female lead is a very powerful knight, she then by pure chance encounters a small child in a forest, and she adopts him.
I'm calling it, this one is the male lead, either that or she'll have a different male lead, if so, this will be a pleasant one. The fluffy raising kids type, I should say.
And then...? After raising him for another decade or so, the boy, now a handsome young man that she considers her son started to act weird around her.
Yeah, I can see where this is going, there's no other male lead candidate here.
So obviously, the next logical move to do is to accidentally trip on NOTHING so that the male lead can come in and save the day with his incredible ability to instantly teleport from 10 miles away and catch her like Slenderman.
Girl, you're the best knight in the country, how the hell did you trip on air?? Did you get your knighthood from Walmart??
Yeah, no, this one is just creepy, isn't this considered grooming?
''Who in the world wrote these scripts...'' Christina mumbled.
*chuckles*
''I might know who wrote them.'' I said while still giggling.
''Oh?''
''The headmaster.''
''...You're joking, right?''
''I wish I was.''
''...''
Well, at least I enjoyed watching the audience raging.
-----
''Where is this?'' I asked.
''You said that you love music, right?'' Christina said, guiding me to a plain building with no sign anywhere to be found.
''Yeah, I do.''
''You'll love this place.''
*knock* *knock*
''Who's there?'' A voice came from inside.
''Christina.''
''Come in.''
*click*
Wow~ what a collection. There's tons of musical instruments here, is this a shop?
''Sister, could you play something?'' Christina said, looking over the counter.
Following her gaze, I could see a woman in a priest's attire sitting behind the counter, tuning a guitar's strings.
''What? Why suddenly?'' The woman said.
''It's for...'' Christina turns to me, before looking at the woman again. ''My girlfriend.''
''Hoh? You of all people is dating now?'' The woman brings her gaze up to see me, after a few seconds of dazing like usual, she snaps back. ''I see, no wonder you fell for her.''
''Well, this sister here is Maria, she loves music, I discovered her by chance a while ago.'' Christina said. ''And this is Sylvia, my girlfriend for today.''
''Nice to meet you, sister Maria.'' I said.
''Me too, Sylvia. Sit here, because you're cute, I'll play songs for you.'' Maria pats the seats behind the counter.
After we settled down on the seats, Maria brings out another guitar. ''So, what do you want to hear?''
''I'll follow your recommendation, Christina.'' I said, mainly because I didn't really hear many songs from this world.
''Play '_Summer breeze_' then.''
''Alright.''
Plucking the strings, Maria started to sing, her voice is clear and euphonious, she's very confident in her singing, I like it. This song is pretty nice, too, except it's autumn now, not summer, but regardless.
*clap* *clap* *clap*
''You have a very nice voice, sister Maria.'' I commented.
''Thanks.'' She said. ''You want to try, Christina?''
''You know I'm bad at singing.'' Christina said with a sigh. ''Do you sing, Sylvia?''
''I can sing in elvish, if you want.'' I said.
''Oh~ That I'm interested in, please try it.'' Maria replied.
Taking the guitar, I wonder what song should I play... Hmm, let's go with this one.
''I'll sing [忘れじの言の葉]''
-----
*clap* *clap* *clap*
''That was great!'' Maria exclaimed.
''I didn't expect it either, one more song please!'' Christina seems satisfied, too.
''Alright then.''
-----
After we said goodbye to Maria, it was already lunchtime, so Christina took me to the very expensive restaurant that I, Emy and Liana visited on our first day here in the capital. Needless to say, the food was exceedingly good, especially with a cute girl feeding me. Well, we were feeding each other, to be exact, I feel like such a normie.
But anyway, after that, we had a very fun time going to the casino. Gambling with magic is pretty lit, I'd say, maybe I'll visit this place again with my girlfriends.
When it was around 3 P.M, Christina took me to a hot spring. That reminded me that I totally forgot to come here during the past week, maybe my brain is actually degrading due to all the sex, you know, like in one of those hentais where the female character's brain turned into her womb for whatever reason.
Regardless, we registered a private room for privacy, now we need to undress first.
Taking off my dress, I could feel Christina's gaze on me.
''I-I'll go in first.'' Christina said, when I turn around, she was no longer there.
Welp.
-----
After washing myself, I walk towards the hot spring, where Christina is already melting into the pool, her eyes closed.
I silently come near her, then sit down right besides her in the pool. Ah~ This is great.
''!!'' Christina opens her eyes wide.
''Hi.'' I said, smiling lightly.
Christina blushes, then turns her head away. Seeing that reaction, I think I will need to tease her a bit more.
I move even closer to her, then wrap my bare breasts around her arm. ''You can look freely, you know?''
Below the clear water, I could see something big rising up against the towel.
Ah, she's hard.
Christina turns her head around, her face flushed red, her breathing is rough, and in her eyes I sense uncontrollable lust, her left hand is already touching my inner thigh.
Although I don't really like to do her like this...
''Not yet.'' I said softly. ''Please try to endure a bit more.''
I don't have permission from my girlfriends yet. This will have to be delayed.
Christina forcefully closes her eyes, biting her rosy lips, she said: ''I understand.''
''Thanks. '' I said, resting my head on her shoulder again.
I'm glad she knows restraint.
So we stayed in that position for a long while, before it was time to break up.
*****
I almost lost control there, thankfully I didn't do anything unforgivable. Not that I could win against her anyway.
But that body is just sinful. Coupled with her natural cuteness... Ah~ I can't wait to hold her.
Right now I'm overjoyed, I've never felt something like this before. Now that my mind has somewhat cleared, I could remember what she said back there.
_'Not yet.'_
This basically confirmed my position in her heart. Now I just need to get through the other two. I've won.
''I think I'll fly home from here.'' Sylvia said.
''Ah, alright, I hope you enjoyed yourself today.'' I replied.
''Heheh, you bet I did, darling.''
*chu*
''!!''
She just gave me a kiss on the lips...
''Then, I'll see you again.''
This is unfair...
