What, Failure to Transition!? Volume 4 Chapter 12 + Epilogue + Afterword (Patreon)

Chapter 12 – Ruining the Dresses 2 ※

When Yoichi returned to the casino with Karin, he saw that the girls were still at the same blackjack table.

But this time, instead of the previous dealer, Charlotte was standing at the dealer’s side, with Misato also sitting beside her.

Looking closer, he also found that Alana and Misato were the only ones sitting in the players’ seats as if the table was specifically reserved for them.

“Hit! Ah, I bust.”

“Hit…yes! And I’ll ‘stay’ here!”

“Oh, is that your final decision?”

“Umu. because it’s not a bad move if I have 18.”

Charlotte turned over a face-down card.

“I’m 16, so that’s a ‘hit’… Oh my? Ufufufu. Looks like I win.”

The dealer must always ’hit’ if his hand is 16 or less ―― meaning she must draw a card…

And the card Charlotte drew was a 3.

That means the dealer wins 18 to 19.

“No way!”

“Hmm, if you only had chosen to ‘hit’ one more time, you would have drawn this card… then your hand would be a 21…”

“Nooo…”

The order in which cards are dealt in blackjack is fixed, so if Alana had drawn the 3 that Charlotte had drawn last, she would have had a high probability of winning, or at the very least, a tie.

Upon realizing this, Alana dropped her shoulders in disappointment.

“Yo, Alana. Are you having fun?”

When Yoichi called out to her, Alana’s gaze lowered. Looking like she was about to cry, she hugged Yoichi.

“Whoah.”

Her large breasts, which were only half covered by her dress that was wide open at the chest, were squeezed between the two bodies and changed their shape.

“Uuu… Mister Yoichi!! Charlotte is bullying meee!!”

Alana made a cry so sweet and adorable you would never have guessed from her usual attitude, and Yoichi couldn’t help but pat her head.

He couldn’t help but wonder if she was really being treated badly.

“Oh, you poor thing. Charlotte, you should have gone easier on her.”

“Oh my, that’s quite an accusation. Blackjack dealers just follow the rules of the game, you know? And also the flow of the cards.”

Charlotte gave a shrug as she said this.

As she has said, there is a rule that the blackjack dealer must keep ‘hitting’(drawing cards) until their hand goes over 17, at which point they must ‘stay’(stop drawing).

In other words, it doesn’t matter who the dealer is. They have no choice but to play according to the order of the cards that were set to them.

“Uuu… I’m sorry… TOKOROTEN’S precious funds…”

“By the way, how much did you lose?”

“You can see for yourself.”

“…guh.”

Charlotte pointed to a pile of chips beside her.

“I’m really, really sorry.”

Alana apologized profusely, but upon closer inspection, Yoichi found out that the chips in the pile were all of low value.

When he looked at Charlotte, she was sticking her tongue out and winking at him.

It seems that she had made efforts so that Alana, who was weak in gambling, would not lose too much money.

“Alana, don’t worry. It’s no big deal.”

“But…”

Actually, it was not that big of an amount, but if Yoichi were to tell her this, he feared she might get carried away and resume playing again.

There is also the fact that having done it with Misato and Karin, Yoichi would not waste his chance to do it with Alana as well, even more now that she was in a dress that can only be dauntingly worn at this venue.

“How about we return to the suite for the moment? To lift up that sad mood of yours.”

“…Un. If you say so.”

Because she still believed she had lost a lot of money, Alana walked behind Yoichi demurely and without asking anything, all until they reached the suite.

〇●〇●

After returning to her room, Alana sat on the sofa with her shoulders slumped and her back hunched, looking more somber than before.

When she was in the lively casino with the women, she was still able to align herself to the atmosphere amid the losses, but now that she was alone with Yoichi, she was unable to bear it.

“Alana, cheer up.”

“But… I heard you took a big risk to raise money this time.”

“Well, I can’t deny to that.”

Before this, Yoichi had explained to Alana and the women what had happened in his ‘dealings’ with the gang.

“It’s because we tried to contact you without thinking that you almost…”

“No, it was my fault for not turning off my phone in the first place.”

“But it did put you in danger. You had gone to such lengths to get those funds, and I…”

Alana’s expression sank further, to which Yoichi was a little taken aback.

He never expected that Alana losing their funds would have a great impact on her, or rather, losing money in general as she came from the rich nobility.

“Hmm. In that case…”

Yoichi made a thinking gesture for a moment. Then he opened his mouth.

“You can pay it back with your body.”

Looking at Alana in the eye, he spoke this clearly.

“…with my body?”

“Yeah. I mean, that dress is already bad news.”

“Bad news? On which part?”

Alana’s huge breasts, the top half of which were exposed, swayed as she tilted her head lightly.

“Well, it’s your chest, you know… The people’s eyes couldn’t help but be glued to them…”

“Really? But I wear dresses like this often at parties, so I don’t think it’s bad in particular…”

“If that were the case, wouldn’t you always have all the guys staring at you?”

“Hmm? Father told me that it is normal for a man to look at a woman’s breasts, though?”

“No, well, that’s true, but…”

“Besides, if it’s about my half-exposed breasts, don’t you always see them in my armor? So, I’ve never been particularly uncomfortable with it.”

“Ah, I see.”

A woman with breasts as large as Alana’s will always attract the attention of men, no matter how she dresses.

As a daughter of a noble family who has been accustomed to public appearances from a young age, it was not surprising that her sense of shame at being stared at had diminished.

“But you see… that… I’m amazed it still hadn’t spilled out the entire time…”

“This one?”

Alana pushed her breasts up from below, and the soft breasts jiggled, making Yoichi swallow involuntarily at the sight of them.

“The corset holds them in place so they won’t come off even with the biggest movement.”

“I see…“

After a daze of admiration, Yoichi turned his peeking gaze back up to Alana’s face.

“This… you see…”

“Mm?”

“…Can I flip them?”

“…eh? That… Uhm… If you want to… go ahead.”

Yoichi felt that Alana became shy when he asked, that she could shrink at any moment, but as expected of a warrior lady, she didn’t falter and straightened her back.

Then she puffed out her chest and approached Yoichi.

“Then, here I go.”

As if that was the signal, Yoichi picked up the fabric that covered both breasts and flipped it down.

Underneath, the puffy, cherry-red nipples were revealed.

“Oh, it was surprisingly easy.”

“That’s bound to happen if you flip them by hand.”

Alana, her cheeks flushed red, averted her eyes shyly as she gave a small rebuke.

But Yoichi could tell she was interested, as she would peek at him from time to time to see his face.

“As expected, this is bad news.”

Maybe because it was supported by a corset, Yoichi saw that the breasts were a little bigger than usual, and the nipples were pointing upwards.

And perhaps because of the embarrassment, her breasts also had a tinge of red in them.

“…M-Mr. Yoichi?”

“Hm?”

“Honestly, it’s super embarrassing… The way you stare at me like that…”

“So, you want to end it with this? Well, I won’t force you if you think this is good enough payment for what you’ve lost.”

“Huh? Ah, no, this is…”

Alana, who was reminded that she is currently ‘paying with her body’, immediately corrected Yoichi’s assumption.

Then, after fidgeting for a while, she once again emphasized her breasts.

“If this is where it’s going… here, Yoichi. My body… you can do whatever you want… ahh…!!”

Alana began to talk vigorously at first, but her speech soon trailed off, and she began to slump down.

When she began to slump, Yoichi put his hand on Alana’s chin and pulled it up with a snap, then brought his face to hers and kissed her on the mouth.

“Mmm… chupu… churu… nhaa… ah…”

The kiss ended quickly, and when Yoichi pulled his face away, what was left was Alana sticking out her tongue in a lingering, melting expression.

“Hehe, my Alana is so cute when she’s shy.”

“Muu…”

Alana’s mouth twitched a little seeing she was being teased, but her expression soon changed.

“Fufufu. So, what do you want me to do? To pay you back for the loss.”

She spoke once again, this time with a bewitching smile on her face.

Seeing this, Yoichi could only think of a few options now that his woman had her breasts exposed in her formal dress.

“In that case… how about serving me with those tits? But first, can you lie on your back?”

“Umu.”

After such exchanges, Yoichi took out a bottle of lube from the [Infinite Storage+] and poured the contents on Alana’s breasts as she lay on her back on the sofa.

“Hiuu!”

The moment the dripping lotion hit her breasts, Alana jerked and shivered. Nonetheless, Yoichi continued, smearing the liquid until the whole cleavage was covered, and when he was done, he unbuckled his belt and pulled down his pants and trunks, exposing his erect penis.

“Clamp your chest close together.”

“Mm…”

As Yoichi had ordered, Alana put pressure on her breasts from the sides to collide them at the center.

To which Yoichi then inserted his rod from the underside, right in the middle of the cleavage where the pressure of the breasts was the greatest.

“Nn… so hot…”

Alana couldn’t help but moan as she felt the rod nuzzling its way into the crevice of her chest, which was now coated with the lubricant that Yoichi had applied.

She felt that the sensation of the breasts was a bit cold, perhaps because she had been exposed for so long that she lost their body heat.

As for Yoichi, who was being wrapped in an overwhelming mass of soft flesh, he felt a sensation different from the vagina he was used feeling with his rod. And little by little, that sensation was converted into pleasure in Yoichi’s brain.

“Nfu… nnu… how is it… Yoichi…? Nnnm…”

“It’s wonderful, Alana. Your tits are soft and bouncy and feel really good.”

“Fufu… thank goodness… but you can go even harder, you know?”

“Then I won’t hold back.”

From there, Yoichi picked up the pace, making more effort to move his hips as well as making the cleavage and his rod create slimy and watery noises.

“Ahaaa… mlem… chuu… chupu…”

As he did this, Alana would raise her face and extend her tongue, licking and slurping the tip that would emerge from between her breasts before sucking the whole head into her mouth.

“Ooh… Alana… this is bad…”

“Nfuuh… chupuchupuu… mlemlem… mchurururp…”

Gradually, Alana’s attacks became intense.

And while keeping the pole wrapped tight around her breasts, she squeezed even further the tip that was on her lips.

Soon, her partner reached his limit.

“I’m sorry, Alana… I’m coming…!!”

But just as he was about to ejaculate, the glans came off Alana’s mouth.

――Blort! Blort! Blort!

“Nhaaah! Mister Yoichi’s seed… sho hot….”

Intermittent ejaculations of semen stained the princess knight’s face. Even her silver-white hair and blue hair ornament with flower motifs in white weren’t safe.

“Sorry. It got stained…”

“Nfufu. Don’t worry about it. As long as it came from Mister Yoichi, whatever it is, I’ll accept it with love.”

Smiling bewitchingly as she said this, Alana flicked out her tongue and licked off the semen on her lips with its tip.

“But this is not enough. I’m still far away from covering the loss.”

“Is that so… Oh, by the way, there’s one thing I’ve been wanting to do.”

“Well… what are you waiting for? Go ahead.”

“In that case, excuse me for a sec…”

“Hyah!? M-Mister Yoichi?”

Yoichi picked up Alana from the sofa and went straight into the bedroom to lay her on the bed.

“Err, Mr. Yoichi?”

“Stay still, Alana.”

“U, Umu.”

“Now, if you’ll excuse me.”

He then kneeled at the feet of Alana, who was now lying on her back with her breasts outstretched, and flipped up the skirt of her long dress and stuck his head inside it.

“Hyaauu!? M-Mister Yoichi, what are you…?”

“You see, I’ve been wanting to stick my head to these kinds of skirts at least once.”

“I-I see. Well, if that’s the case, do whatever you…mmmhh!”

Yoichi didn’t wait for Alana’s permission but instead proceeded to wade through the fabric of her skirt.

Eventually, he came across a pair of plump white thighs and a crotch covered by panties.

“Oooh, so it’s a corset and garter belt in one!”

As Yoichi had said, Alana’s stockings were held in place by a garter belt extending from the corset.

A woman’s lower body suddenly appearing in a ‘space’ made by the fabric of her skirt.

The sight almost made Yoichi feel as if the place was another world isolated from the outside.

“Ooh, and it’s also string panties.”

Should one wear panties inside the garter belt or outside the garter belt?

Actually, there is no correct answer to this question. If you want to be able to take them off easily in the bathroom, you should put them outside, but if you want them to look good, you should put them on the inside.

As Alana had chosen to prioritize appearance, the waistband of her panties was on the inside of the garter belt.

“Well, with the string panties, it’s easy to take them off either way, isn’t it?”

Eyes sparkling with delight, Yoichi easily undid the waistband of the said underwear.

“M-Mr. Yoichi!?”

Alana was saying something, but Yoichi ignored it, held her underwear firmly, and flipped them open.

And there revealed the princess knight’s most precious parts for him to see.

“Uuu…”

Perhaps aroused by the earlier titjob, it was already wet, and a thick mucus dripped between the crack and the crotch.

“M-Mister Yoichi… That’s…”

The inside of the skirt was quite dark.

The fabric was transparent, so it was not pitch black, but it was not bright either.

Still, Yoichi, with his vision enhanced in the dark, was able to clearly see the silvery pubic hairs wet with love juices and the twitching folds of her flesh.

“Isn’t this a spectacular view?”

“Uuu… are you still staring at it?”

After having had his fair share of the exposed lower body under the skirt, Yoichi brought his face closer to the crotch and stretched out his tongue to lick the oozing orifice.

“Hyaaauu! Ahh ahhh, Mister Yoichi, you can’t…”

Alana spoke with some resistance, but he continued regardless, as if ignoring her will.

“Ah, noo! Don’t spread it like that!”

After having his fill with the surface, Yoichi pulled the clam meat with both hands and plunged his tongue into the opening, where from there, he also began licking the shallow part of her vagina.

‘Hiiiiieee! Nhaaaaaaah! No, I’m cumming! I’m cummiiiinngggg!!”

After a while, Yoichi shifted to search the swollen clit. After finding it, he flicked the bean with the tip of his tongue and flipped the foreskin open to expose the bud.

While licking her exposed clitoris, he also thrust a finger into the opening of the vagina. He continued his rubbing over there, feeling the slightly rough wet linings of the orifice with his fingertips over and over until she came.

“Hiiguuuuhh! Hyaaa! Cumming! It’s coming ouuutt! Aaaaaahhhh…!!”

Alana repeatedly squirted, her hips shaking wildly. Like a water gun being played by a kid, her vagina let out ‘water’ many times.

The clear liquid that spurted out vigorously splashed Yoichi’s face, with some soaking through her skirt, staining it from the inside.

“Ahaha, I guess this makes us even then?”

Yoichi, with the remnants of the squirting on his face, poked his face out of his skirt.

“Muu… Stupid Mister Yoichi.”

Meanwhile, Alana turned her semen-stained face away shyly, her mouth in a pout.

“So, that’s it for repayment then? Shall we go back?”

“No way!”

At Yoichi’s words, Alana got up with a start.

“Ah, no, that… I mean…”

Doing what is equivalent to telling outright that “I haven’t had enough!” Alana, perhaps embarrassed by her sudden bolt, began to blush and wince.

“Uhm, what you just did… it is I who felt good… so I don’t think it’s… enough repayment… so… and that of Mister Yoichi doesn’t seem to be satisfied yet.”

Alana also glanced at Yoichi’s crotch as she said this. To which Yoichi replied.

“Then, I’ll leave it to you to decide what to do, Alana.”

“M-me? I see. I understand.”

After coughing up once, the princess knight stood up and straddled Yoichi, who was already flinging the lower half of his body.

Yoichi’s pants and trunks had already been shifted to his knees, so it was much to say he was ready, also with his erect meat pole pointing toward the ceiling.

“Should I take off my dress?”

“No, I’d like you to keep it on.”

“I understand. Then….”

Straddling Yoichi, Alana pinched the hem of her skirt, lifted it up, and then slowly sat back down.

“Nnn… if I remember correctly, it is around here… nmm… ahh, found it…!!”

She wiggled her hips at some point in her squatting, and not a while later, the hole caught the rod as its tip bumped the flesh of her wet opening.

“Nnnmmmmhh!!”

Alana lowered her hips from there. Slurping the meat stick down to the base, her orifice did not leave any gaps.

“It’s here… finally…”

Then she smiled amorously, fully accepting the whole girth on her own.

“Fufufu… it’s kinda obtrusive though, this.”

She also followed up, though a bit annoyed, as she referred to the fabric of the skirt.

“But isn’t it nice to do something like this once in a while?”

“I see. You have a point. Then, I’ll be moving now.”

Alana began to move her body up and down at Yoichi’s insistence.

Soon, she was screaming.

“Ahhh! Oh, Yoichi! It feels so good!”

But as expected of the princess knight with a well-trained body, Alana was still able to move with ease, even with the intense sensation passing through her mind.

Her exposed breasts bounced and shook, and the fabric of her long skirt rustled like leaves.

It wasn’t later that her dress was ruined.

Ahhh, hyaaauuh, my dress, it’s getting messed up…!!”

Although their joining parts were covered by the skirt and thus could not be seen, her dress getting messed up was enough of a sight to arouse Yoichi.

Inside the skirt, obscene sounds continued to be made as they spread outside. They echoed from the source, then get muffled through the fabric before spreading across the room and bouncing through their ears.

The mucous membranes wet with love juice also continued to grip Yoichi’s rod tight, and in no time, he felt that he was being squeezed with high pressure.

“As always, you’re as tight as ever.”

“Then, shall I tighten it even more?”

“Uguooh…!”

As soon as he said that, Alana’s cavity tightened further as if her earlier moans were a lie.

“Hey, this is bad…”

Although it was still pleasing, Alana’s vaginal pressure was so high that Yoichi even doubted if other women could imitate it. All the more right now where he was being tightened mercilessly and not leaving any gaps.

It was almost like a vacuum.

“Haaa… ahnn…!! Whenever I tighten it, it’s like I’m being gouged… my insides are driving me crazy…!!”

“Alana… I can’t take it anymore…!!”

“Mmm mmmhh!! Me too, I’m gonna cum too… together… let’s do it together…!!”

“Uugh…!!”

“Ahaaaaaaaaaa!!”

――Blururururut! Blurt, blurt, blurt.

At the same time as Yoichi’s ejaculation, Alana reached her climax, increasing once again her vaginal pressure as semen was released from her insides.

It was almost as if Yoichi’s rod was being squeezed dry.

“Auuh… inside… so hot… and it’s throbbing hard…”

Alana’s body jerked and trembled in time with the pulsing of her ejaculation, and along with it, her large exposed breasts quivered as the fabric of her dress swayed slightly.

Even then, she still tried to ask Yoichi.

“Mhhh… how… is it…? Was I… able to pay properly… with my body…?”

To which she was replied.

“Yeah. And fully paid as well. I’m satisfied.”

With an ecstatic face, Alana was in bliss as she heard the last line.

〇●〇●

After a short rest in his room with Alana, Yoichi took her back to the casino.

“Oh, welcome back.”

Karin and Misato were sitting at the same blackjack table as before, but since they had their backs to Yoichi and Alana, Charlotte, who was standing as a dealer, noticed them first.

“Oh, your back.”

“Uhm, good evening.”

Charlotte’s greeting made Karin and Misato notice Yoichi and Alana, which made the two greet them as well.

“And? What are you doing?”

“It doesn’t seem like blackjack…”

Karin and Misato were sitting at the blackjack table, and Charlotte was standing at the dealer’s table. Facing each other, they held a few playing cards in a way that the other players could not see them.

“It’s the Japanese version of Old Maid, huh?”

‘Old Maid’ is one of the popular card games. Players are dealt 51 cards with one queen removed, and two cards with the same number are discarded in pairs.

The player with the last remaining queen loses.

The Japanese version of Old Maid has a slight modification of the rules, adding a joker instead of removing the queen.

“I see. So that’s why it is called Old Maid.”

After explaining the rules to Alana, she and Yoichi joined in, and the five decided to play Old Maid.

In Old Maid, it was important not to let your opponent know when you have a joker. In other words, it was a game that required a poker face as well.

In that respect, Misato, whose expression usually doesn’t move much, was a formidable enemy. Charlotte, who could freely fake her expression to hide her true intentions, was also a strong opponent.

With [Appraisal+], Yoichi would be practically undefeated, but even he is not that low to use this ‘cheat’ in a game between companions.

So Yoichi, whose thoughts tend to show on his face, ended up not being strong, and Karin was about the same.

But the one who was the weakest was undeniably Alana.

“…!?”

Alana’s eyebrows twitched.

After a few rounds, Alana was completely hooked on the game of Old Maid. It was because Alana never lost unless she got a joker due to the luck of the cards or the seating order, but if she got a joker, she was almost always guaranteed to lose the game.

Now only Karin and Alana were left, with one card in Karin’s hand and two in Alana’s hand.

“Fufufu… this one.”

As soon as she put her finger on one of the cards, Alana reacted, so Karin chose the other card and took it.

“Alright! It’s my win again!”

“Hooow!?”

Dropping the one remaining joker on the table, Alana plopped down on the table.

“It’s just that Alana is so easy to read!”

“What!?”

Alana, who had giddily woken up at those words, pressed on Karin with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

“That can’t be right! That was a proper “Pookafeeeisu”!”

“Eeh, I don’t know about that.”

“Eeeeeh!?”

Karin, who was not much of a poker face to begin with, began teasing Alana from there. Meanwhile, Charlotte, who was watching from the sidelines, put her hand over her mouth and smiled as she looked down at the two from the dealer’s table.

“Well, from my point of view, you two are both no good.”

“ “Muuu…” ”

The two of them immediately dropped their shoulders at the words of the talented intelligence officer.

“Yes. Alana’s eyebrows twitch whenever she finds something.”

Out of the blue, Misato also said something.

Alana’s eyebrows raised slightly at Misato’s words.

“Look. You’re doing it even now.”

“Muuu!? Damn you, eyebrows! You betrayed mee!!”

When Misato pointed this out to Alana, she pressed her fingers directly on her eyebrows to stretch and loosen them, to which the other women laughed.

(Just what are we doing here…)

Yoichi sighed in disbelief at the women playing Old Maid in one of the best casinos in the world.

The best facilities and the best staff.

Not only a wide variety of games, but also top-notch shows and the best food and drinks.

Despite being in such a place, the members of TOKOROTEN were sitting around a small blackjack table, playing Old Maid with one of the staff members – and an outstanding one at that. But though dumbfounded by the sight of the women enjoying themselves, he also couldn’t help but smile.

Epilogue

“Is Sergeant Brett here?”

“Huh? Why would a hobby store like ours have a sergeant?”

The next day, Yoichi visited a toy store on the outskirts of town.

He still had some time before his flight, so he left the hotel to take care of one more thing.

This toy shop used to sell a wide range of toys for children, but now it is a popular otaku store that sells mostly Japanese anime goods, DVDs, and Blu-Rays.

Yoichi was looking at the elaborate figurines of familiar anime characters lined up in various places while talking to a male clerk with white-blond hair and blue eyes.

Incidentally, he was in his usual work clothes today.

“Oh, sorry about that. But I thought he got promoted and became a sergeant?”

“If that’s the case, then…”

The clerk quickly looked around the store, checked the security camera footage to ensure no other customers were looking at them, and then pointed to the back wall. Or rather, what is behind it.

“He’s right over there.”

“Thanks.”

Thanks to the cleverly arranged shelves, the place could only be seen from in front of this counter, and soon, Yoichi was standing at the designated spot.

The clerk confirmed this and pressed a button on his hand, and the wall slid silently to reveal a staircase.

Yoichi quickly slipped into the open space, and the open wall closed noiselessly at the same time the lights came on.

At the end of the narrow staircase, there was another wall, which at first appeared to be a dead end, but as before, the wall slid open.

Behind it was a slightly smaller gun store.

“Welcome.”

The man who greeted him was a stern-looking middle-aged man with a bald head and mustache, making him quite a standard for a weapons dealer.

――Replenishment of ammunition.

That, above all, Yoichi’s purpose for visiting this country.

In this city, guns and bullets are sold at home centers as a matter of course, but if you buy them in large quantities, you will definitely stand out.

For that, Yoichi asked Charlotte to show him where he could buy a lot of ammunition, and she told him about this place.

It was also possible for Yoichi to find these stores via their recent transaction using [Appraisal+], but even with these skills, it would take a lot of effort for him to narrow down the search since illegal transactions were conducted practically everywhere in the country.

Thus, Yoichi opted to ask someone instead, as it would be easier that way.

“So, what do you want?”

Yoichi asked for the types and numbers of large-caliber bullets, mainly bullets for assault rifles and anti-materiel rifles, which are hard to find in Japan.

He also ordered grenades, land mines, plastic explosives, and maintenance supplies.

“What the hell, are you starting a war?”

“No way. This is just for self-defense.”

“…fine. Here.”

By the way, the man’s name is Alondo, not Sergeant Brett.

Sergeant Brett was just a code word, and apparently, the person’s name and rank would change from time to time.

The first was to check to see if ‘he’ is there → then you find out there’s no such guy → then you tell him that he got ‘promoted’ ―― sometimes ‘demoted’, sometimes ‘he got married’, sometimes ‘he got divorced’  or ‘any reason that changes his family name’ and so on. In any case, the password would change in these kinds of patterns.

“Come to think of it, you’re the one Cathy has introduced to me.”

Cathy was a nickname for Charlotte’s pseudonym, Catherine.

Though the woman has several other aliases, she goes by the name “Catherine” in this establishment.

“Well, yeah.”

“How much money do you have?”

“Uh, about a million.”

“I see. Then why not also buy a minigun? I’ll give it to you at a discounted price.”

“A minigun?”

Upon asking further, he was told that one of their clients asked them to purchase the gun several years ago, but no one had come forward to take them back. Upon further investigation, they found out that the client had passed away, thus the order becoming part of the non-moving inventory.

(A minigun, does he mean a pistol? Something like the Derringer, I suppose)

Yoichi tried to refuse, thinking he already had enough of the small caliber firearms, but before he could say anything, Alondo had already gone into the back to fetch the gun.

A few minutes later, he returned with a slightly larger wooden box.

(Rather than a box, isn’t that already a crate?)

Without seeming to notice Yoichi’s surprise at seeing something larger than he had imagined, Alondo put the crate on the counter and yanked open the lid.

“How’zat? I can assure you it’s in good condition.”

Inside the box appeared a ‘Gatling gun’ he had seen in movies.

Technically, it was still a ‘Gatling gun’, just a compact version of it.

It was developed as a smaller and lighter version of the Gatling gun, commonly known as the Vulcan, and it is said that this was always the one being referred to when people talk about ‘miniguns’, thus explaining the contrasting moniker for such a huge ass gun.

“The price for the minigun and the bullets for this gun, along with the items you ordered, let’s just make it a million. What do you think?”

“Hmm… Deal. I’ll buy it!”

Thus, a new weapon of massacre was added to Yoichi’s arsenal.

“Where should I deliver it?”

“Here.”

Yoichi handed a piece of paper with an address written on it to Alondo.

Although he could take all the weapons he had purchased in his person using [Infinite Storage+], that doesn’t mean he should store them immediately, even if the shop could get the stuff at the ready.

Using his skills openly would result in him standing out badly here, even treating him as a spy or, worst, an alien.

Even though his skills are out of this world, Yoichi is only one man. A whole country chasing after him would be stressful for him, even if he has the [Return+] and his other skills.

All the more if he’s doing something illegal, even if it’s within Charlotte’s approval.

So, for the sake of preventing being traced, Yoichi had to tread carefully.

(Again, Charlotte helped me greatly this time, even providing a stationary container for the weapons that would not be traced back to me.)

“So I guess I can take this back in the meantime?”

“Yeah. As for the others, let’s settle it at a later date.”

In a grand total, Yoichi was able to order a suitcase worth of bullets of the .50 cal, his handguns, and the assault rifles made in Russia and America which he possessed – the ones he needed as urgent as possible. They would be delivered at a later date in addition to the minigun and its bullets via a concealed shipping container. As for the rest that could be picked up, he decided to take it home with him.

“Mufu♪”

When Yoichi returned to the casino, Alana was in a very good mood.

She had won a lot at roulette.

While Yoichi was ‘shopping for necessities’, the women were enjoying the casino in their normal clothes.

“But the wins were only about half of the total loss.”

In fact, they had lost a lot of money in various games before finally regaining some of it back in roulette.

If not for Karin and Misato winning a lot before this, Alana would have been stopped from participating long ago.

Of course, Yoichi didn’t dare to say such things in order not to sour the mood of a certain princess knight.

“You’re leaving already?”

Yoichi thought if they stayed for longer and Alana lost again, they would not be able to go home anytime soon, so he decided to leave while she was still in a good mood.

“Yes. The casino and the suite are wonderful, but I think we’ve had enough.”

“I see. Well, we’re glad that you enjoyed it. Please come again. We will always welcome you.”

After a quick bow, Ed raised his head and index finger in a somewhat theatrical gesture.

“Ah, yes. By the way, I found these in the lost-and-found. Are these from your companions, perhaps?”

“Lost and found?”

As Yoichi tilted his head, Ed pulled something out of his pocket.

“Passports?”

Ed held out two passports.

“They are genuine passports issued by Japan. You won’t want anyone to steal them, do you?”

“No, these are…”

When he opened the passports, he found Misato and Alana’s photos with their full names on them.

(I guess their full names must have been elicited during the girls’ talk they had. But the photo――)

Yoichi looked around and saw a number of security cameras installed.

(…how could this be?)

And to his surprise, the passport was [authenticated] and found to be genuine.

(These former intelligence officers… they are truly fearsome!)

Yoichi also [appraised] Ed’s intentions to be sure, and it turned out that it had been prepared as a thank-you for providing information on the human trafficking organization.

Charlotte, as expected, could not hide anything from Ed.

“And here’s a small gift from us.”

Charlotte appeared from behind Ed with a tray in her hand.

A silver tray with four tickets was placed on top of it, which Yoichi took in his hand.

“Are these… airline tickets? And they are first class!”

“Yes. I hope you will be comfortable until you return to Japan.”

Charlotte said and winked at him.

“Please come again anytime.”

“We look forward to seeing you soon.”

Ed beamingly held out his hand, and Charlotte bowed deeply beside him.

“Yeah. We’ll do that whenever we stop by this city.”

Yoichi replied as he squeezed Ed’s hand back.

(They even went to the trouble of providing us with a passport.)

And since they solved one of Yoichi’s bigger problems, he was willing to come back if everyone wanted him to.

…

…

“As expected, First Class is really awesome.”

Karin, who has traveled abroad many times but has never flown first class, was the first to have a daze of admiration upon seeing the seats.

“I’ve never been on an airplane before, but to think it’s this spacious.”

“‘No, no, you can’t use this as a basis, okay?”

Karin, who usually flies only economy or, at best, business class, chided Misato upon hearing her speech.

After their goodbyes with Ed and Charlotte, Yoichi and the girls were picked up and taken to the airport by one of the cars hired by the hotel.

Although Misato had to go through the immigration procedures for the first time on an international flight more than Alana, who had already experienced immigration procedures in the other world, they were both able to board the plane through the proper procedures without incident.

“Fumu… But it’s still wonderful, this ride.”

As the time for takeoff approached, Alana observed with wonder as she looked out the window after fastening her seatbelt according to the in-flight instructions.

Since it would be the first time they would fly together, Yoichi and Alana were paired with each other, while Misato was paired with Karin.

Nevertheless, as it was a first-class flight, they were a bit far apart even though they were next to each other.

And even though it was her first flight, Alana did not feel anxious.

Soon it was time for the jet to start moving.

“But to make something this big float in the sky, isn’t your world’s gravity-control technology pretty good as well?”

“No, there’s no such thing as gravity control in our world.”

“…Huh?”

At Yoichi’s words, Alana’s mouth dropped open, and she was stunned for a moment. Then she shook her head lightly and leaned forward toward the seat next to her.

“No, no, how can such a large hunk of metal fly through the air without gravity control?”

“Hmm, momentum?”

“Are you kidding me?”

In reality, jet airplanes fly based on complex and advanced scientific theories such as lift and air currents. Still, until the altitude stabilizes after takeoff, the momentum of the jet thrust is extremely important, not to mention the laws, so Yoichi’s words were not entirely off the mark.

“You’re lying…right?”

“Well, laws and momentum aside, it is true that gravity control is not a thing in this world.”

Realizing from Yoichi’s tone of voice that this was true, Alana began to touch the clasp of her seatbelts.

“Hey, what are you doing!?”

“Getting out! Let’s get out of here, Mister Yoichi!!”

“No, wait! Also, it’s already too late, as we’ve already started moving!”

At the end, when Yoichi said, “Even if we fall, we can still teleport with [Return+], so it’s okay!” it was only when Alana managed to calm down.

“Ooh!! Mister Yoichi! We’re flying above the clouds! It’s amazing!”

And once she realized that she would be fine even if something did happen, the otherworldly princess knight began to enjoy her air travel for the first time.

〇●〇●

“All right, now that we have our ammunition supplies, it’s time to embark on a full-fledged otherworldly adventure.”

After their plane arrived in Japan without any problems, and after everyone successfully completed the immigration procedures, the group returned to “Grand Court 2503” using [Return+] from a secluded place.

After spending the rest of the day in a leisurely manner, Yoichi told everyone his plans.

But just to make sure, he used [Return+] and went to the shipping container Charlotte had prepared for him earlier to check its contents. There, he found that the minigun, bullets for it, and the rest of the items he had ordered in the store were already stored there, so he collected them for the time being.

Before this, he had secured a motel different from the one he had used the other day, set it as his home point, and traveled by road bike from there to the shipping container.

He had also asked Charlotte to pick him several motels that were hard-to-get-to in case he would need to change bases regularly.

“But travelling back to my world, huh? If we’re going to do serious work there in the future, we’ll have to get Mister Yoichi and the other’s outfits in order first.”

Yoichi was currently dressed up in a cosplay robe(D*rth V*der) over the military get-up for airsoft he bought in Japan. Alana suggests that if he plans to be fully active in another world, it would be best for him to switch to a get-up that would fit him there first.

“Oh? Are we perhaps going to Kathryn’s shop?”

(Kathryn? Do you mean Catherine? No, she’s talking about a different person… Perhaps they met someone in the otherworld when I was away?)

“Armorer Kathryn? Umu, that would be good. I like Kathryn. I’m sure Yoichi will get along with her too.”

Misato’s question was answered by Alana.

“Heh, I’m looking forward to it.”

The last one was spoken by Karin, along with a slightly teasing smile on her face after seeing Yoichi’s ‘interested’ gaze.

(Suddenly, they already knew someone behind my knowledge. But Kathryn, huh… well, I hope she’s a beautiful person.)

As for Yoichi, he hugged Alana, Karin, and Misato with anticipation as he wondered what kind of person this armorer might be.

“For now, let’s just go over there and get changed.”

“Umu.” “Right.” “Yes!”

After nodding in response to the women’s replies, Yoichi and the others [returned] to [Frontier Home].

《To be Continued》

Afterword

Author: Hochi

I hope you enjoyed this fifth volume, which added many new elements to the story. My name is Hochi, and I am the author of this series.

Originally, Light Novel Volumes 4 and 5 were a single volume in the Webnovel, but when I started the book adaptation of volume 4, I was hooked on foreign crime dramas, so “Let’s split the chapters and make volume 5 a crime-action book!” I made an impulsive proposal, and Osiris Bunko recklessly agreed to the idea.

The moment I received the rough sketch of the cover from Saraki, I was convinced that my idea was correct.

Volume 6 will be the part where Yoichi and his gang finally run amok with their modern weapons against a group of monsters. Please look forward to it!

Translator Notes:

And just like that, another book is finished. Twelve(12) more books to go.

By the way, the author wasn’t kidding when they said many scenes were added to this story. One was the inclusion or the change of the main heroine from Misato to Karin. If you are still unaware, Karin did not exist in the web novel. And that changes the story by a lot. The other was the inclusion of Donna the police officer, and all the stories she’s involved with. Those things didn’t happen in the web novel – which was only the casino, about Charlotte, and the secluded gun shop transaction above.

On that matter, it seems that I have missed some Light novel Exclusives, so I will be translating those first + the commemorative short story chapters released on the Web novel that follow the setting of the Book version (The author was unable to include them due to the lack of pages, so they released them in the web novel instead. It pretty much angered their web novel audience, though) before proceeding to the next book. And as always, thank you all for your support!

BTW I have posted again the Book 5 Cover (Contains Volume 4 of the LN) by request, featuring Alana and Karin in their dresses for reference.
