PUBLIC MORAL COMMITTEE AT THE MOON PALACE

There are two things that I want to do at the moon palace.

After I finished requesting Lord Benito’s aid and partway with him and Shion-san, I head to the public moral committee.

“Well, this is it for me, do your best alright!”

When I thanked him for guiding me all the way here, he hit my back and says: [Don’t worry about it].

“That’s right, seeing Benito like that….the Shikubukai sure have it hard huh. You can come to me if something comes up alright!”

Such a cool parting word. He turns back and heads towards the exit.

He is one of the companion characters you could recruit in Magiero. His body is that of a bodybuilder, a third-year student who is kind and possesses a strong sense of justice. A sempai that all the gentlemen called him Aniki (TLN:Big Bro)

However, if you ask me if he is a strong character or not, then the answer is no.

His attack power and physical power are as high as his muscles suggested but other than that he is not that great.

Also, his high attack power is only considered high as long as we are talking about male characters.

His power is a far cry from the heroines that are specialized in close-combat. His defensive power is also inferior to that of [Ms.KuhKillme] or Takioto in shield-mode.

Even though he is one of my favorite characters, sadly, he is practically unusable.

It is rather difficult to find a good male character. Leaving the protagonist aside, only Lord Benito and some of the male characters were given preferential treatment.

In a certain meaning, Takioto also received some preferential treatment. Though he has his faults, he is undoubtedly stronger than other male characters. As long as his opponent doesn’t possess a cheat weapon, he is strong enough to contend with the other main-heroine tier characters. The only situation that I don’t want to think about is when he has to go against characters that are specialized in long-range attacks though.

“Alright, let’s go.”

After confirming that Aniki has left, Nanami gives me a nod and knocks on the door.

After about 3 seconds Sempai answers the door and we enter the room.

Inside the room are the Saint, Ludi, and Sempai.

Seeing me entered the room, the Saint narrowed her eyes and blatantly give me a sigh.

“Oh, it’s you. Good day. We don’t have anything to serve you but make yourself at home.”

There’s no trace of her normally graceful self as she gave us a curt reply like she couldn’t care less about me.

I glance at Sempai and she pulls a chair out for me. Nanami insists on standing but since this might be a long talk I told her to sit down.

“Thank you.”

“Let me say this first. Congratulations on becoming the Junior Assistant, do your best Mr.Future Lord.”

“Thank you very much. I know that I am not suitable for such a position but I will strive hard to not bring shame to the three committees name.”

“…….”

Saint Steph’s eyes open wide, her expression is that of a surprise.

“Is there something wrong?”

“Captain, Takioto is this kind of person. Ah, Takioto, you don’t have to be so stiff here okay?”

I kind of understand why Sempai’s words are a surprise to the Saint. On the surface, I dressed sloppily like Takioto from the game. Moreover, I also brought along a personal maid with me even before I joined the Shikibukai. No matter how you look I would seem like some kind of delinquent. Of course, she would think of me as some foolish young master. However, the words that came out of my mouth, on the contrary, are polite.

Since I am a former member of society, I would use honorifics wherever possible. Moreover, this is the first time I have settled down and talked with the Saint.

“Haa, look like the Shikibukai is in safe hands.”

“Your words are wasted on me.”

“Well, enough about that. I have a little something that I want to let you know.”

“Something you want to let me know?”

“Can you stop increasing my work?”

To make me felt the pressure of her words like this, did she added her magic power into it?

“It is our and the student council’s duty to extinguish the fire. You can do whatever you want at the Shikibukai but it is us who have to clean up the mess alright.”

“I apologize for troubling you with my previous dungeon capture. However, I will make sure to consult with you before I am going to make a big move in the future. Please rest assured.”

“Well, it’s fine as long as you understand. Even so…….”

Saying so she makes a serious expression, I am a little surprised.

Saint Steph is a beauty. Well, most of the characters in Eroge are pretty and cute though.

Looking at the Saint is making me a little embarrassed. Rather, I’m a little excited too.

“Don’t you have some thoughts, seeing me like this?”

“Thoughts? Ah, about how splendid Saint-sama is right? You are usually nice and graceful but looking at your inner beauty and strength, you are looked even more splendid to me. Ah, if you are asking about my thoughts then, let’s see, I’m glad that I can see a new side of Saint-sama. I think.”

Was my answer went above her expectation? Saint Steph let out a huge sigh and touches her temple.

“……….You said the same thing as Benito.”

As expected of Lord Benito. Since I only know her for a short while it might look frivolous coming from me, but what about Lord Benito? Such a daring thing. Depending on how you say it you might be on the receiving end of an absolute zero gaze here.

No, Lord Benito is a noble from the principality so he should know about her circumstances to some extent. Knowing the environment she grew up in, that should be something you would want to say to her.

That must be the reason why he also appeared in the Saint’s event.

Originally, since Lord Benito is a noble from the principality, he supposed to act as an antagonist in the saint’s event. However, he is actually her ally. He was the one who helped the saint out the most alongside president Monika. Even so, he still says something like: [I have no romantic feelings toward the saint]. But is that really so?

“…..talking with you made my pace go out of order. So, what do you want?”

The saint let out a huge sigh and change the subject.

“Yes, I was thinking about how I should conduct myself inside the academy in the future……and there’s this one thing I came up with so I want to let everyone here know about it beforehand.”

“Are you now? What is it?”

“Yes, I am going to start seducing women from now on.”

The air froze. Well, I deliberately said something that could be taken the wrong way, so in a way, I guess I’ve created this atmosphere on purpose.

“Hey, Kousuke. Can you say that again?”

“….I heard that you are going to go around seducing people but……what are actually planning to do?”

Ludi and Sempai are staring at me as if they are looking at trash. Honestly, I can’t get enough of it.

“To be specific, I am going to flirt with a woman who is related to us at the three committees, I was thinking about flirting with Sempai and Ludi at first but to the normal students, it might appear so already though.”

“….Can you tell me why?”

“Well, if I look at myself objectively I would appear like a man who makes a pass at Ludi despite already having a cute maid to himself.”

“Ah, Goshujin-sama, start calling cute like that……so you want the Nanami Special B for today, I have to prepare a piercing and a rope now.” (TLN: What are you making me google Nanami!?)

“If you are going to suddenly join the talk then can you not say something that people can take the wrong way? There are people who would take that seriously you know.”

Especially the saint. She is already pulling away from me. But well, it was as expected.

But seriously, what is Nanami Special B? What is she going to use the piercing and rope for?

“….Umm, putting Nanami’s joke aside, what I said about how other students viewed me is true. So I have an idea to use that to our advantage.”

Since they see me like that, I will act like a frivolous character.

“With this, it wouldn’t be weird if I am seen at Ludi or Sempai’s side. It’s all good letting them think that I just tag along trying to woo them.”

“Heee,”

The saint let out such a voice as if she couldn’t be more care less.

“Well, that might be a surprisingly good idea….from the outsider perspective, they can’t interfere with a person from Hanamura house and Yukine can just let them think that she has no choice but to let him tag along after all. But what would you do if something goes wrong?”

“That’s the reason I am limiting the person I am going to get involved with to be only within the three committees. I don’t think anyone would start something if there is a person from the public moral committee or the student council around. They will definitely work as a deterrent.”

“I see.”

Sempai said.

“If we are there with you then even if something gets out of hand then we can just say something like [we will give a warning to Takioto ourselves], I see……”

“Yes, we can agitate the student and control the situation at the same time.”

And most importantly, I can be around Sempai and Ludi without anyone finding it out of ordinary.

Suddenly, the saint raises her head as if she thought of something.

“Wait a minute here…..you said that you would start wooing the women in the three committees right?”

“Yes, Since Stefania-sama’s Fanclub is on the same scale as the president’s you are actually on the top of my list. Ah, since I will be mainly acting with Ludi and Sempai they will have higher priority. Please leave it to me. I will do my best to seduce you.”

The saint seemed to hate that very idea.

—-

“Takioto.”

Sempai called out to me after I left the room.

She told Nanami that she wants to talk to me in private so Nanami excuses herself and head toward Ludi who is still inside the room.

Seeing so, Sempai turned to face me and start talking. “Um, you know.” She stuttered and her face is getting redder.

“You know, is it necessary for you to include me as well? Ludi and Captain have their own Fanclub and they are both a beauty after all. President Monika too. Even if you do that to me too………

So it’s about that huh, I let out a sigh.

“What are you saying Sempai. If I have to list the good things about you then it wouldn’t only take a day or two, I can’t even list it all even if I spend a lifetime doing it you know.”

“How much are you intending to praise me!?”

“Well, I was more or less exaggerated it but I still don’t think I would run out of good things I could think about you though. That’s how much of a splendid person you are to me. It is because Sempai is such a person that I want to gon on adventures with you.”

“…..Takioto.”

“Sempai, please take care of me from now on as well.”
