I-Iâm sure you guys wonât understand what Iâm saying.
And I donât know what happened eitherâŠ
I thought I was going insaneâŠ
It wasnât anything simple like Charm or Puppetry.
I experienced something far more terrifying. [1. TL Note: EVERY LINE UP TO THIS POINT IS A JOJO REFERENCE. Aside from one missing line and the part with Charm and Puppetry, itâs letter per letter quote of Polnareff lines from Stardust Crusaders episode 45.]
ItâsăCommand Lv 1ă.
How did it turn out like this?!
At the bottom part of my status.
ăCommandăBitch Leader, Bitch A, Bitch B, Bitch C, Bitch D.
What is this? I did have Command Lv 1. I think it probably was a skill for taming monsters. But until now, I annihilated all of the monsters I met. Aah, I didnât test it even once.
Suddenly, I have 5 bitches tamed? What is this? Bitch Master, gotta catch âem all? Like hell I will!
I wonder, is bitch leader an evolved form?
There was a scum that wanted to use puppetry to have his way with the girls.
There was a sleazebag that wanted to use charm to make girls serve him.
And then, there is I, who enslaved them?!
UWAAA! Loner hikkikomori NEET enslaving 5 high school girls.
It sounds like nothing but a crime! If there was such a person, I probably wouldâve shoutedăPoliceman, itâs him!ăand summoned a policeman from another world.
You⊠Probably have no idea what Iâm talking about, but I have no idea as well! Give up, the game is up.
Groaning, I walk through the forest, Bitch Leader, Bitch A, Bitch B, Bitch C, and Bitch D following after me.
Wrecking my head, I walk through the forest, Bitch Leader, Bitch A, Bitch B, Bitch C, and Bitch D following after me.
Lamenting, I walk through the forest, Bitch Leader, Bitch A, Bitch B, Bitch C, and Bitch D following after me.
Are you baby ducklings or something?!
Impaling with the geekâs ăIce Lanceăa goblin that jumped out, I kept moving.
Sniping a kobold that jumped out with a revised version of FireballăFire BulletăI keep moving.
They are staring at me really hard. Thatâs probably them trying to learn how to fight. Even if you do, Iâm jobless level 5, you know?
Since looking back is scary, I move looking only ahead of me.
Where am I heading? I have no idea. But I have to press on. Neither stopping nor looking back is allowed to me. The bitchesâ eyes are way too scary! Their eyes look like those of some kind of religious fanatics, itâs scary.
Moving straight forward as if I actually have a goal, I press on, not caring for gobs that since a while ago keep jumping at us, mowing them down, and moving forward. The farther I go the bigger the presence I feel ahead, but I canât turn around. The reason being, the bitches are following me from behind!
I keep moving forward as if running away. Or rather, I am running away. Damn, for quite a while the surroundings are covered with gobs. Ahead of me are kobolds and the bitches are behind. The only available option is kobolds.
Without saying a word, Bitch Leader, Bitch A, Bitch B, Bitch C, and Bitch D are following after me.
Indifferent, Bitch Leader, Bitch A, Bitch B, Bitch C, and Bitch D are following after me.
What do I do?
Ahead of me is koboldsâ den. The presence is staggering. But to me, turning back is not allowed. Because whatâs behind me is even scarier!
Perhaps learning from observing me, but now they are extracting magic stones from the monsters that I defeated and bringing them to me. They are still pretty bad at it, so while gouging out magic stones they got all covered in blood with their eyes turning even crazierâŠâŠ Iâm scared. Looking like some kind of terrible brigade, the blood-smeared bitches are marching after me, just single-mindedly sticking to me. Whatâs this? Itâs really scary? Iâm going to cry, you know?
Due to ăExperience Sharingă, an effect of Command, the bitchesâ Lv kept rising. Culling kobolds to a degree, while allowing a few of them to pass behind me, the bitches would silently swarm them, stabbing swords and spears into them. Iâve never seen kobolds make such pitiful faces. And itâs my first time seeing kobolds so utterly frightened. Iâm probably making the same face. Because itâs scary!
Before I noticed, the perverted high-school monkeys, that were chasing after the girls, disappeared. No idea if they were chased away by kobolds or killed, and I honestly donât care! Itâs because of those perverted monkeys that Iâm going through such a scary experience, itâs because of those perverted monkeys that kobolds are going through such a scary experience!ăNow, kill them, kobolds! We might be fighting on different sides, but our aspirations are the same!ăWait, could it be that kobolds are my allies?
Well, there is probably no one who would think of assaulting the bitches after seeing them now. Coming to another world turns out, the scariest thing were classmates. Earlier I was also possessed by some kind of passionate persona. Looks like people from the original world are more threatening than dangerous monsters.
Kobolds come one after another, the number is amazing, but the area is also spacious. Without putting much power into Fire Bullets, I just keep dishing out more and more of them, showering one kobold after another with them as they keep coming.
If 10 of them appear, I shoot 30, if 20, I shoot 60. Ready and shoot, ready, and shoot. One after another I shoot them the moment I create them. Each bullet doesnât have much power, but itâs enough to check koboldsâ charges and suppress them with numbers, overwhelming them.
With the only thing going for low-level kobolds being their charge ability they canât take a hit. So being assaulted with a hail of Fire Bullets like in a slanted rain, they quickly lose speed and succumb to it, fall to the ground. Pushed to the brink of death, the kobolds then become prey to the bitches, losing their lives.
Be there 30 or 40 of them, they are still showered in an overwhelming rain of red lights, continuously hit and struck, while behind me the bitches are probably making a bloodbath.
And the last one, while being torn to tatters, receiving a hail of Red Bullets, reached me in an attempt to bite at me, and with its jaws opened wide, baring its teethâŠâŠ Fell to the ground.
Surrounded by heaps of kobold corpses all around, the bitches just keep going on and on, delivering finishing blows and ripping out magic stones.
After that, a group, surrounded by a huge mass of kobolds and was engaged in a battle with them, was now looking our way.
Though all were covered in wounds and blood, they didnât seem to have any major injuries.
ăHP potion, you will recover if you drink itâŠâŠ It mushroom-flavored though.ă
I ask them, but no one makes a move. So the mushroom flavor is no good? Looks like it doesnât suit girlsâ tastes. Thought boys probably wouldnât like it either. Well, I also hate it. I can drink aojiru[2. TL Note: Japanese vegetable drink most commonly made from kale or young barley grass. Notoriously nasty.], but I spurted out the moment I tried this thing. I didnât think that healthy mushrooms and healing herbs would create such an exquisite harmony of taste, bringing about such a symphony of nastiness.
ăHarukaâŠâŠKunâŠâŠ?ă
ăYeah, mushroom flavor sucks, what was I even thinking? Itâs terrible to the taste, and applying it externally would make you stink of mushrooms? ă
Behind me, the bloody bitches kept gouging out making stones. A few days ago they wouldnât listen to anyone, avoiding fights, and not even trying to get close to monsters. The bitches that wouldâve made a huge uproar a few days ago, were they to see blood, were now silently and orderly running around, finishing off monsters, and without caring for getting dirty or blood spattering around, were gouging out magic stones.
Truly, an amazing sight. Itâs only reasonable that some wouldnât be able to believe it if they saw it. They look like completely different people. Especially considering the crazy look in their eyes.
Looking like that, the bitches gather magic stones, run up to me, and after giving them to me without saying a single word, rush back, going back to work with intense concentration. Itâs just way too suspicious. Just the other day there was a huge commotion about ăCharmăand ăPuppetryăand whatnot. Moreover, the girls could easily imagine their fate were they to fall into such a state, so itâs only natural that they would be terrified, seeing this scene. After all, even Iâm afraid! No, Iâm actually scared, for real.
If a few days ago someone said that the worst bitches had a change of heart and reformed, no one wouldâve believed. Even after seeing it with their own eyes. And the change is way too extreme. They didnât just change, they became the complete opposites of what they were before. No one would think they reformed after seeing this. They would think itâs either brainwashing or mind control.
Who would drink a beverage offered by the man, who is dragging around the bitches in such an abnormal state? And mushroom flavored on top of that! Everyone would see it only as an extremely daring trap, who the hell would drink such a thing! Itâs too dangerous, both the drink and the man smell of trouble. On top of that, mushrooms? What the hell with that extremely suspicious ingredient? This man is just the worst! He is clearly dangerous! And he has a scary look in his eyes! âŠâŠPlease, just spare me the last part.
Yeah, with the current super negative trust level, the taste is terrible, but itâs out even due to its smell alone. Should I have used sweet berries to improve the taste? And the color as well? How should I put it, just no? RIght? Wouldnât high school girls think so?ăNo, in the first placeâŠâŠOr ratherâŠâŠ
ăHeeeeeeeeeey, Haruka-kun. Come baaaaaaack.ă
Whoa, that startled me! The president is looking at me up close! This is bad for my heart. My heart almost jumped out of my chest.
ăEehm, for starters, can I have that potion?ă
ăEEEEEEEH! You are going to drink it?!ă
ăYou are the one who told me to drink? Why are you getting surprised?ă
ăWell, normally, if a stranger offers you a suspicious drink, wouldnât simply agreeing to drink it be a questionable idea for a high school girl?ăLike, how should I put it, shouldnâtâŠâŠă
ăWe are classmates! What do strangers have to do with this?!ă
ăâŠâŠOh?ă
A retort worthy of the president of class presidents is enhanced by a close view of her beautiful face, giving it an additional impact.
ăEehm, President-sama?ă
ăThatâs not a name! And why are you attaching sama?ă
Should I first explain the bitches behind? They look extremely suspicious, but when it comes to explaining it, I also donât quite get what is going on. Rather, can someone please explain it to me? What should I say?ăDoesnât oops, I enslaved them, sound the worst?! Not only it doesnât resolve the misunderstanding, but it would also label me a bad guy.
ăHaruka-kun. Ehm, whatâs wrong with Shimazaki-san and the others? Eh? Why are you together?ă
ăEeem, Itâs not like telling this story wouldnât not take a while, but itâs a long storyâŠâŠ Eeem, I tamed them.ă
ăWhat are you even doing! And that was SHORT!ă
The president screams. Sounds like a risky title. Almost made me want to order it. I was very close to summoning an express courier. It if was a one-click purchase I wouldâve pressed it. I wonder if itâs going to be okay with me being underage.
ăWhy did you tame them! Or rather, isnât that the skill you use on monsters? How come you are taming your classmates?!ă
I myself would like to know how I tamed them, and if possible, a way to return them where I found them as well. Will they go return if I tell them to go back to the forest? The president is on the verge of breaking, should I give the proper explanation? For starters, there is something I have to confirm.
ăWhoâs Shimazaki? Some kind of romanticist, like the one that wrote ăBefore the dawnă?ă [3. TL Note: Shimazaki Haruki, Japanese poet active from Meiji to the early Showa.]
ăYou tamed and you donât know?!ăAnd normally people start from ăCollection of Young Herbsă, why are you jumping all the way to ăBefore the dawnă?ă
The president screamed, again, so it was a serial title, I wonder if itâs a trilogy? Of course, Iâll buy it. Will it come with a bonus merch if I buy the whole set at once? Now is the time for summoningâŠâŠ
