My mouth fell open, and I collapsed onto my knees. It was only then I noticed that Otto was right next to Octius, giving his brother a disgusted glare. Yes… brother… he… me… last night…

Just how out of it was I? There was no way, right? I felt breasts! I definitely ate pussy. It tasted… no! I wasn’t licking that! That was impossible.

“Octius… you… you weren’t in my room earlier, were you?”

“Hmm?” She cocked her head… ahem… he cocked his head and grinned. “Tehee, I’ll never tell!”

“You… Otto! Please tell me you’ve been by your brother’s side all the time, right?” I begged, grabbing onto his shirt.

“Ah! Get off me… you’re creeping me out!”

Octius seemed to delight in this, laughing even more. “My… my… wanting to know my whereabouts. I didn’t expect my new boyfriend to be so possessive.”

“He’s not your boyfriend!” Otto punched out at Octius, who easily dodged before he tried to pull me off of him. “And, so you let go of me, I’d never be by his side if I could help it. He just saw me coming to check on you and followed!”

“Both of you are so cruel… but I know you love me!” Octius cried.

I finally let go of Otto, my hands shaking as I tried to calm myself down. “Right… right… sorry…”

Otto suddenly put on a guilty look. “Well, you don’t need to apologize. Rather, you died to save our asses. The reports say that Fort Pride is gone! Father ended up breaking through and returned a lot earlier than expected, and he immediately led a charge. We managed to gain control of an unprecedented amount of the Ost Republic. It was a great victory for Aberis.”

“Is that so?” I sighed, standing up while trying not to think of last night. “Then… General Alysia was defeated?”

“The General, Lieutenants, everyone in the fort! Their defenses were stripped, their forces were scattered. I thought you were a healer. I didn’t know you had such a powerful spell under your belt. I suppose it was too powerful since it killed you though…”

“Y-yeah…”

“You should check your level. After that many defeats, you had to gain a bunch of levels.”

I did check, but at the time of the incident, I only had True Hero equipped, having not been of a mind to equip a second job. Then, I had all of my experience bonuses off. So, my usual cut of experience was dropped to 1/20th. In the end, I still ended up getting True Hero up to level 25. I also gained two levels in Intermediate Magician. Apparently casting that spell was enough to give that much experience to it. Forty-seven more levels in that and I’d be at the level of where I was supposed to start with White Mage. Then again, maybe I’ll luck out and unlock a different-colored Mage.

“Where are my girls?” I finally asked, realizing this should have been my first question had I not gotten so flustered earlier.

“Ah… they escaped with us, and we brought them back to the capital. Being slaves, they’re not typically permitted into the castle. Especially when their master is unconscious…”

“How long have I been out?”

“Only two days.”

“Okay… that’s not too bad.”

I instantly opened Slave Communications to every girl. The response I got back was so loud and enthusiastic I immediately wanted to cover my ears. Every girl seemed to be immensely worried. Faeyna was the worst, only knowing we didn’t come back after the event.

“Um…” Otto had been wearing a guilty expression since he entered the room, but only now, he suddenly fell to the floor. “I have a confession! I’m so sorry!”

“Eh? What is it?” I realized I was wearing the same disgusted face he had when I grabbed his outfit.

It looked like neither of us was suited for begging.

“Perhaps, I should explain this.” A voice came in as the Prince walked in, hiding behind him was the Princess.
