Outside the tent, under the starry sky.\n
I was motionlessly staring at my own hand.\n
Having slept with Erin, I copied another new skill.\n
My name is Yuuto Mouskouri, a noble.\n
But before becoming this noble, my name was Kurosu Yuuto, a salaryman of a small & medium-sized enterprise dead tired from the work commute in a crowded train every morning and evening.\n
On a certain day in a train on my commute to work, when I’d been going through the various login bonuses of the apps installed on my phone as usual, an incredible light had overflowed out of my phone, and I’d gotten taken in by it.\n
Inside the light, I’d seen the words Noblesse Oblige.\n
A skill, Noblesse Oblige.\n
Having got that, to my surprise, I’d been transmigrated into a nobility house in another world.\n
You might think I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I don’t even know what I’m talking about either⸻or so what I’d like to say, but even though the truth had been confusing, I somehow got it.\n
It was another world transmigration.\n
A transmigration to another world that has been popular in manga or anime in these past years, but actually was a normal story since so long ago.\n
I’d been caught up in that otherworldly transmigration, and reborn as the third son of a noble family who would not get any inconvenience even if I don’t work as opposed to being a no-hoper salaryman with a salary of 130,000 yen after income tax.\n
And then I’d gotten a cheat skill, as is typical of otherworldly transmigration.\n
That is this Noblesse Oblige.\n
What I currently understand with Noblesse Oblige is that it triggers when ‘I sleep with a woman.’\n
When I sleep with a woman, I will copy the skill of the woman I slept with.\n
Moreover it’s not just simply copying, it clearly seems to evolve it into a superior skill.\n
It means that if for example a woman possesses Heal, and I sleep with her, I’ll have Midheal.\n
And at the moment, I don’t see any upper limit to the skills that can be acquired.\n
If I sleep with a woman, I will acquire a skill.\n
Moreover I’d been transmigrated as a noble.\n
That is to say, I don’t have to be reserved when it comes to this.\n
I’d decided to keep on sleeping with women, and build a harem.\n
And now, I’ve copied a new skill from sleeping with Erin.\n
“I guess I can go for one-night stands, too.”\n
While staring at my own hand, I lifted the corners of my mouth and smiled.\n
“Yuuto-sama?”\n
“Nn? Aah, Auxo.”\n
Getting called from behind, I turned around.\n
And there stood a maid in pajamas, Auxo.\n
Auxo was my first partner ever since I’d transmigrated into this world.\n
In this world, a noble is fully fledged after sleeping with a woman—and out of such a view, you’d be assigned a woman on your coming of age day, sleep with that woman, and become an ‘adult.’\n
Auxo was the residence’s maid, and the woman assigned to me.\n\nShe was cute and obedient, and I’d taken her with me when leaving home.\n
And that Auxo had gotten out of the carriage to come to me.\n
“What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?”\n
“Eh? N-no, that’s not…” said Auxo with downcast eyes while sending glances at the tent I’d just been in a moment ago.\n
Not a carriage that’s like a camper van—that’s like a house I’d surrendered to the women, but a regular, firmly set up tent.\n
She was glancing at it, and looked as if she’d like to say something.\n
“What’s wrong? Something bothering you?”\n
“Umm… That woman.”\n
“Nn?”\n
“Yuuto-sama, are you taking her with you?”\n
“Nnn? …Aah, so about that, huh.” I understood what Auxo was trying to say, and lightly smiled. “Jealousy, huh.”\n
“Th-That’s not true… at all, you know?” Auxo started objecting with a loud voice, but that objection was vanishing, becoming weak.\n
“I don’t mind; I understand why you’re bothered. My explanation wasn’t enough either.”\n
“Explanation, is it?”\n
“Yeah, that was a job.”\n
“A job?” Auxo tilted her head with a puzzled look.\n
That gesture was small animal-like, which suited her well and made her feel lovely.\n
I beckoned her over.\n
As she got even closer despite looking curious, I pulled her by the hand, placed her on my side and embraced her shoulders.\n
“Yuuto-sama, since when did you start that kind of job?”\n
“No, you’re wrong, it’s not mine, but hers.”\n
“Eh?”\n
“Selling her body like that is one of the jobs of a traveling entertainer.”\n
“Eeeh!? Is that true?” Auxo was greatly surprised in my arms.\n
“Yeah, that’s true. It’s been like that for a long time, you know? It’s not anything rare. Especially since I’m a noble, I guess from her perspective she must feel lucky to be able to run into a big client.”\n
“Hawah… It’s rough, isn’t it? Being a traveling entertainer woman.”\n
“Men too, you know?”\n
“Eh?”\n
“When dealing with a madam or something who can’t handle her own body, I suppose a man has no choice but to step up.”\n
“I-I see…” Becoming more and more surprised, Auxo ended up almost completely speechless.\n
Thinking that at this rate she’d likely faint if I talked about male homosexuality, I decided to end this conversation here.\n
While hugging Auxo’s shoulders, I looked up into the starry sky.\n
One reason a traveling entertainer sells their body like that is to make money, and another is to make connections.\n
Money.\n
Guess it’s about time for me to have to think about ‘ways to earn money’ as well.\n
