Because I Was Excluded Out of the Class Transfer, I Decided to Steal My Classmate's Lover

Chapter 102: Unrestrained Perversion

After negotiating with the knights of the Kingsguard, it was agreed that a new dragon carriage of a different type from the one used at the Royal Palace would be made.

It was not as good as the one in the palace, but it was good enough for the job.

However, it would be impossible for the Saints to start making their own transport from scratch.

The parts and drawings could be managed with the saints’ inherent magic skills, but it seemed that specialist knowledge was essential for the assembly.

Although they may have some knowledge, the knights of the Kingsguard were not engineers. It was hard to imagine that any of these amateur saints would be able to complete a satisfactory product.

In the end, the making of this means of transportation was currently on hold.

There was also a suggestion of hiring a craftsman, as there should be an engineer in the town they were visiting.

This would consume a great deal of silvers, which would create a new problem of financing.

“But I’m happy that we have a replacement for the dragon! It proves that my work was not in vain!”

Leaning her back against the lizard’s body, Yuri made a cute, smug face.

Yuri used her Intelligence Gathering: Ultimate Technology to draw the plans for the dragon carriage.

Ran was concerned that with so many things to do, it might be difficult to motivate her to start working on something that might possibly be pointless.

Apparently, Yuri was willing to make the drawings.

“To be honest, though, it’s not very motivating to be the only one trying when nothing is set in stone. I know I’m not the only one who’s trying, so I’m going to do my best!”

As she said this, Yuri closed one eye and smiled.

“Since Kirishima has collected all the lizards, I was able to come up with some crazy ideas to prepare a new dragon carriage. I have to make use of the skills I’ve been given!”

“I don’t think I’ve done that much compared to you.”

“No, no, no, I think it’s because Kirishima-kun collected the Black Lizard Alvarizard that everyone is motivated to do their best.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, it is. At least, that’s definitely the way it is with shonen manga and s!”

It was great to be able to collect a rampaging lizard without difficulty, which would have been impossible to do without the extraordinary taming ability.

It also helped their morale, which had been on the wane.

“Is this the first time you’ve done it outdoors with Fujiyoshi-san?”

“Why are you talking about sex all of a sudden? I only said it was a reward!”

“I never said it was about sex either.”

Yuri’s face turned as red as a boiled octopus.

She turned over shyly and groaned.

“…… Besides, it would be bad for Sayan if I made it easy for her like this.”

“Sayaka?”

Before Ran could ask her what she meant, she opened her arms and looked away shyly.

“If you give me a hug, I’ll do my best, so…”

Yuri’s lips are tied tightly together as she swayed her hips gingerly. Ran had a few doubts, but it would be foolish to question her here.

Yuri’s small body was wrapped in Ran’s arms.

Ran hugged her as tight as he could, so that they could feel each other’s body heat.

◇◇◇

In the dense night forest, Niigaki Takeo sleepily sighed.

The stars were dazzlingly scattered across the night sky. His tear-stained vision blurred the white flashes of the stars and he could not focus. He felt as if he was being hypnotised.

He didn’t know the exact time, but he was pretty sure it was very late.

After using the toilet in the shade of a tree, Niigaki turned to the men’s dragon carriage.

On the way back, he looked out into the trees and saw three black lizards huddled together asleep.

The big lizards were sleeping in this dark forest without a care in the world.

The faint sound of the night wind made Niigaki shiver.

With only a handful of lights, it was impossible to illuminate the distant darkness.

Even in the original world, the forest was a dangerous place at night. And there were demons in this world. There might even be bandits.

“Even with the knights of the Kingsguard on guard, it’s not safe.”

It was not like living behind the walls of a royal palace. One could never know what might happen.

With a touch of anxiety, Niigaki turned on his heel and walked to the dragon car where the girls were supposed to be.

There was always a chance. It was unlikely that Kirishima Ran’s taming would make such a mistake, but it never hurt to check.

In any case, in the morning, Misuzu’s strengthened Schwartz Energy would recover all sleepiness and fatigue. If someone lost a little bit of sleep, it would not hurt much.

With a manly spirit, Niigaki went to the place where there was a visitor.

In front of the dragon carriage for girls, Kiryuin Subaru sat down on his knees and dozed off.

On closer inspection, a few rat-like beasts gathered at his feet. When Niigaki approached, the rats bared their broken fangs and squeaked in a scratchy voice.

“-Who is it?”

In response to the rat’s squeak. He stood up quickly and shot a sharp look at Niigaki.

“It’s me, Kiryuin.”

“Niigaki Takeo, what do you want? -Are you planning to crawl into Reika-sama’s bed at night?”

“No, of course not.”

Of all the girls in the class, Reika Joougaoka is the only one to whom Ran has failed to apply his skills - Kiryuin Subaru, a childhood friend of Reika Joougaoka, was rumoured to be her bride.

While he cared for Reika more than anything or anyone else, he had a bad habit of disregarding other people.

His obsession with Reika was close to worship. It was difficult for a third party to understand his values. He was one of the most difficult students to deal with because his values were difficult to understand.

“I just came to see what’s going on……What are you doing here, anyway?”

“I’m on guard duty here to make sure that any insolent person who plans to do anything to Reika-sama doesn’t get anywhere near her. I was going to stay up all night, but I’m afraid I’m too tired from travelling during the day. I’ve asked them to wake me up if anything happens.”

Niigaki took a second look at the rats at his feet. On closer inspection, all of them had some sort of defect in their body structure.

Subaru was given the skill of corpse manipulation: living dead recovery, which allowed him to treat fresh corpses as servants.

“If Reika is here, does that mean that Kirishima is not here?”

“He’s not here. Only Reika-sama, Yuri Fujiyoshi, Emi Otomezaki, Sayaka Sadogashima, Saki Shirayuki and Misuzu Nekoyama are here.”

At the end of the day, all of them were a group of people who were in charge of making maps.

They were very determined to finish it tonight, and being good friends, Emi and Sayaka were probably watching over Yuri.

Niigaki could assume that Misuzu was there to give Yuri first aid with her enhanced recovery skills, in case she felt unwell.

Saki was probably there to protect them in case of an attack. It was a little strange that Kanami and Aya were not there. Niigaki was not sure if they were working on something or not.

“Do you know where the rest of them have gone?”

“I’m not interested in the whereabouts of any women other than Reika-sama……But if they’re not in the men’s chariot, they’re probably in the other one.”

Niigaki looked at the dragon carriage parked some distance away.

He had packed most of his luggage into the empty carriage, as he wanted to have more space to sleep.

He wondered what they were doing in such a place.

“I guess, I’ll have a look around. ……”

“What’s the urgency?”

“It’s nothing urgent, but I wonder what it is…I just thought he had worked hard today.”

The face of the aloof boy came to Niigaki’s mind. His best friend Torao Shigenobu, his crush Kanami Inugami, and his old friend Saki Shirayuki. He was the hateful person who ruined the lives of these three good people.

It was a considerable achievement for Ran to break through the intimidating atmosphere and to raise the morale of the saints, which had been declining.

Undeterred by the high-handedness of the situation, he quickly prepared the lizards needed for the move.

If it hadn’t been for him, the saints’ morale would have been on the ground and they would have been full of animosity and rebellion towards the knights of the Kingsguard.

It was the role of people such as Torao Shigenobu, Misuzu Nekoyama and Saki Shirayuki to bring everyone together and motivate them, whether at an event or otherwise.

“I couldn’t demand such a thing from a heartbroken Torao, and all the girls were at Kirishima’s mercy, so I wondered what would happen……”

Kirishima Ran, a former loner, was able to put the situation to rest.

Niigaki was sure Ran didn’t mean to do that and, more importantly, it was him who stirred up the relationships to the point where they had to rely on him.

It was a match-pump, albeit a very roundabout one, and Niigaki was unsure if he wanted to express his sincere gratitude.

“It’s just that we’ve been saved. I should at least be grateful.”

Niigaki turned around and headed for the dragon car, which had been turned into a luggage storage area. As he got closer, he heard some disturbing noises.

A creaking sound. It seemed as if the wheel itself was shaking, though it was faint.

Niigaki continued to walk up to the carriage, his footsteps trailing behind him. When he knocked on the entrance, the noise and shaking stopped at the same time.

“……it’s in.”

Were they frightened, or was there another reason? A little shaky voice leaked out of the dragon car.

Niigaki sighed outright with a bitter smile as there was no response.

Laughing as there really was no reply, he let out a big, blatant sigh.

“It’s me.”

“……What? Niigaki?”

There was a rustling sound from inside the carriage. There was a faint whispering sound, probably that of a woman.

Niigaki cleared his throat deliberately and heard the sound of something falling.

“As peculiar as ever, doing in such a small place.”

“…… It’s good to be in a small space. I can feel his breathing and his body heat. I like it.”

Niigaki’s sarcastic remark towards Ran was answered by a different voice.

The voice was full of ennui and lustre, but with no inflection, so he knew immediately to whom it belonged.

“Look who’s here. It’s Onigawara.”

“Nn, you’re correct. Would you rather have another girl?”

“I don’t care…”

Niigaki suddenly thinks of the voice of his one true love, Inugami Kanami.

She was a dignified and serious person, he could not imagine her moaning. He’d love to hear it, but the thought of it being served up in sex with the hated Kirishima Ran was a mixed bag.

Niigaki kept telling himself that he should be happy that he was dealing with a girl who admitted to being a bitch.

“……I mean, Niigaki, what are you doing here at this hour? Maybe you’re just sneaking around because you couldn’t hold it anymore?”

“No, I’m not. I’m just here to see Kirishima.”

“…… me?”

In a quiet voice, Ran replied.

“I’m naked right now.”

“You don’t have to come out.”

Leaning his back against the door, Niigaki scratched his head in annoyance.

“I just wanted to say thank you……Thank you for your help earlier. Without your help, the morale of the class will surely drop……That’s all I wanted to say.”

That was not the only thing he wanted to tell Ran.

People from the Royal Court. A distrust from the queen’s side on the court.

It meant that there might be a discrepancy in perception between the queen herself and those on her side.

How much did Ran trust this man, Walkins, how much information did he share with him, and how much did he trust what Walkins told him?

Because he was Ran, he had seen the realities of the royal court from a completely different perspective to that of Niigaki and his friends.

He was not as heartbroken as Torao Shigenobu and Yamashiro Hirokatsu.

Nor was it Haruto Tanaka, who was suspected of being honey trapped by a cat-eared maid named Nyanya.

Nor was it Shiratori Sho, who was on good terms with both Yamashiro and Tanaka.

It was not Subaru who didn’t care about anyone but Reika. It was not the guys in the otaku group who were mentally distant.

Ran was on good terms with Kanami and Aya, who he could rely on. And he was also a former loner who was unlikely to blab about his secret talks.

There were so many things Niigaki wanted to talk to him about.

But he was afraid to talk about it now. The distrust that he felt was ultimately related to the people in the palace - the people on the queen’s side.

This was not an appropriate place for a secret meeting, as there were knights of the Kingsguard looking around.

“Ah I see, I’m sorry that you took your time to say thanks. You could have done it tomorrow.”

But Ran, who had no idea what was on Niigaki’s mind, seemed to take him at face value.

Niigaki had told what he needed to tell, and he should have returned. But somehow, he still wanted to talk about it.

“How’s the progress on Fujiyoshi-san?”

“She’s doing well. She’s so focused on her work that she doesn’t seem to hear a word of what’s going on around her.”

“It may not be my place to say this, but tell her to try not to push herself…… Well, with Nekoyama around, it’s not going to be a big deal.”

It was fine to lose track of time and get lost in the work, though. As for Niigaki, who once before saw Yuri pushed beyond her limits, he really felt worried about her as a classmate.

The moment when “what used to be” Yuri Fujiyoshi was brought to Misuzu, supported by Sayaka and Emi, was traumatic to say the least.

It was the kind of scene that instantly shattered any illusions people had about high school girls. Even the metaphor “rags to riches” seemed to be an understatement to describe the scene.

“Otomezaki-san and Sayaka are watching her. I’m sure they’ll be able to spot her before she goes over the edge.”

“Oh, so they’ve been up all night too.”

The boys were also on the lookout for an attack (partly because the dragon car was too small for them to all sleep at the same time), so they took turns to keep watch.

The girls stayed up all night? It was a friendly thing to do.

“The other girls take a break every now and then, and there’s always someone left who can fight, so it’s not a problem.”

“That’s why I didn’t see Inugami in the carriage over there.”

Niigaki nodded his head in silence, “I see.”

Just when Niigaki went there, it was Kanami’s break time?

He was about to agree with Ran, when a sudden feeling of discomfort arose in Niigaki.

He knows that Kanami was resting now, but where was she resting-

“—Hyaa,An~”

Before he could focus his thoughts, he heard another unfamiliar voice coming from inside the dragon carriage.

It was a sweet, lusty female voice. The sound of her moans, so different from Hibiki’s, made Niigaki realise that his bad premonition had come true.

“Oi, was that-”

Before he could finish, a stifled whisper escaped from inside the car.

“O,Oni, Onigawara, what are you doing suddenly!”

“Inugami, you have a wonderful voice.”

“N-no! Don’t be silly! There’s still Niigaki outside! What if he finds out? It’s embarrassing!”

From the faint whispering, Niigaki unconsciously tried to identify the owner of the voice.

Before a definite answer could be made, Hibiki’s blunder revealed the correct answer…

Niigaki couldn’t help but listen closely. It was not for nothing that he could hear the colourful voice of the girl he adored, but the reality was that he encountered the scene where the girl he had a crush on is flirting with another boy. Sandwiched between heaven and hell, Niigaki was in a complicated mood.

“It’s not very convincing when you’re dressed like that……you, disciplinary committee”

“It can’t be helped! It’s too small!”

Hibiki’s teasing words accelerated Niigaki’s imagination.

‘What is it that makes her look so uncomfortable?’

‘What kind of sexy pose is Kanami striking in the dragon car?’

The high school boy’s imagination was about to run out of steam.

There was a rattling sound inside the carriage, as if something was falling apart.

“Kyan-!Owh…A crate just fell on my head!”

There was a third sweet voice, unlike Kanami or Hibiki.

Niigaki could immediately tell that it was Sakuya’s.

“Oi, you, Kirishima. What are you doing at a time like this?”

“Iyann-mou…I have a stinging sensation around my nape. Hey, Mikoshiba! Can you see if Sakuya has a bump here?”

Niigaki’s face twitched at the appearance of the new name.

If he had thought about it calmly, he would have known.

There are a total of ten female students who have been transferred to this world. If six of them are in the dragon carriage on the other side, then there are only four left.

It was hard to believe that she was wandering around outside the dragon car alone at this time of night. It was only natural that her name should come up.

“I can’t do it. My hips are stuck and I can’t move…Uuu ……No. That’s no good~un! Ki, Kirishima …… No. You can’t go there~un!. Don’t pick at it, it’s dirty.~unnn!……”

The usually strong delinquent girl’s sad, mellow voice. Feeling uncomfortable, Niigaki scratched his head.

Niigaki felt sorry for himself that he thanked Ran Kirishima even for a moment.

He was not a hero or anything. He was just an unrestrained pervert.

“How many people are you playing with? There’s a limit. And in such a small place.…”

Niigaki was tempted to open the door just to spite him. He didn’t want to actually do it, because it would be useless anyway.

After a few moments of silence, the charming sounds coming from the dragon car became slightly louder.

It seemed that the interrupted activities had resumed in earnest.

As if to escape the unreservedly lovey-dovey mood, Niigaki went back to the boys’ dragon car.

At the end of the day, he felt even more tired.
