Part One
The Eve of Decisive Battle
With the decisive battle set for tomorrow, I thought our preparations were thoroughly in place. I'd even learned some new skills.
Those, I'd show off in tomorrow's match.
This past month, I'd really, truly trained desperately.
It must have been hard on everyone, but I'd worked pretty hard too, I thought.
The toughest part was the calculation drills.
I'd been doing a little calculation practice each day all along, but this past month I'd drilled myself in earnest, eight or more hours a day.
… Now, two-digit multiplication and division — the answer pops up the instant I see it.
The 75 series in particular I'd practiced intensively.
With this, I could now do damage calculations factoring in the opponent's offensive and defensive buffs a little more accurately.
Eight hours of mock battle, eight hours of self-study (arithmetic), seven hours of sleep, one hour H = four hours H during A-Class bedroom time — that was the daily schedule.
I wasn't cutting into sleep, so on the surface it didn't look that intense, but for magic-power recovery (technique uses and HP recovery) that time couldn't be cut.
Well, within the range of not pushing my body and mind to the brink, I'd poured every ounce of strength I had into preparing for the Ursula match — you could put it that way.
I couldn't talk much with Seika and Farida-san, who'd only just joined, and Yumi, who'd finally had her long-cherished first time and was at the peak of wanting to lovey-dovey, also got little of my attention — I really felt sorry.
But for the Ursula match, I couldn't let my focus slip for an instant.
A-Class Master monster subjugation duties were entirely handled by Haru. Truly reliable.
Yuria and Griera served as my mock battle opponents. Truly grateful.
But I couldn't give them adequate rewards either…
Everything would come after I won against Ursula.
Then I'd relax to the fullest. Reward myself, reward everyone.
Talk plenty, lovey-dovey lots.
But it was only one month. Right now… I had eyes for no one but Ursula.
And so, with Lyuka's history study and message exchanges with Ruria as nearly my only breathers, I sprinted through the last stretch.
… And at last, 3/31 arrived.
"… Tomorrow, huh."
I murmured quietly.
"At last. My blades are itching."
"Nya…! For Goshujin-sama's sake, we'll absolutely win, nya!"
Right now, Kanan and Adelia were at my left and right.
The night before the decisive battle, I wasn't going to cram in any more. Mainly, I decided to spend it leisurely with the participating members.
If I crammed any more, I'd start vomiting numbers.
"… When the three of us are together like this, it brings back the early days after I first came to this world.
"… Back then, I didn't know left from right.
"And here we are, aiming for this world's pinnacle, S-Class Master. When I think on it, we've come a long way."
I voiced that impression.
"Nya~. Adelia, ever since meeting Goshujin-sama, has been happy, ever so~ happy, nya.
"Tomorrow, to give even a bit of happiness back to Goshujin-sama, we'll absolutely win, nya."
Adelia cutely declared.
I hugged Adelia tightly.
"As for me… well, at first I was a fool, hm. I didn't try to understand back then… how happy I am now."
Kanan leaned into me.
"Watching my Naoto grow ever greater, ever more splendid — that's happiness for me too.
"For that, I'll do anything.
"… Tomorrow I'll give it my all. So that Naoto can have a wonderful first time with Ursula."
"… Mn."
Right — if we won, tomorrow I'd finally be with Ursula…
Ah, this had been a long road too.
Meeting that charming Ursula and growing close to her… I'd held back the whole time.
And now, finally…
"… My, you're so energetic already."
Kanan laughed, looking at my penis.
"Saving up tomorrow's portion today, hm?"
Kanan asked, looking up at me through her lashes.
Ahh geez, so cute!
"… No. Just a little, I think, would be fine."
Kanan had become completely deredere, but so had I. I tumbled Kanan and Adelia together and thrust my erect penis into Kanan.
"Haa, ahh… Naoto, love, love you…!"
"Goshujin-sama…!"
"Kanan, I love you, Adelia, I love you…!"
Chu, nuchu, nupu, kuchu, zuchu…
We made love stickily.
Tomorrow was the decisive battle, so I figured I shouldn't tire myself out too much… but it felt too good and I got carried away.
… Well, you could say this was just our usual.
By pouring it into Kanan and Adelia, my body deliciously unwound, and I was able to relax.
"Haaa…"
"Ahh…"
"Nya~…"
The three of us held each other for a while.
"Ah, Kanan and Adelia, looking so fun~! Patty's jealous~!"
While we were like that, Suzanne, Patty, Colette, and Luna came over too, and we spent some lovey-dovey time together.
Ahh… very happy.
Patty, Colette, and Luna once each. With Suzanne, only by mouth.
… But this holding back with Suzanne was, soon, going to end. After tomorrow's win and becoming S-Class, with Suzanne too…
"Haaa… happy~…"
"Naoto-sama…"
"Naoto-kun…"
"Onii-sama… tomorrow, we'll win. Definitely.
"… When the day comes that I'm S-Class, the promise that I'd offer all of myself to you… you remember, don't you?"
"… Mn, of course. I'm really looking forward to it, Suzanne…"
I hugged Suzanne and kissed her.
Tomorrow… tomorrow.
I would… obtain Ursula. That magnificently beautiful futanari Demon Lord.
My heart burned hot.
I'd thought she might pop in tonight — with the decisive battle tomorrow, it was the kind of thing Ursula might do — but apparently she wouldn't.
A little disappointing, but… that just meant Ursula was seriously concentrating, gathering her final fighting spirit.
Drawing all her thoughts back tight like an arrow on a bow, then loosing.
She was wringing out the last of her strength so as not to let her thorough focus slacken.
So as not to waste those thoughts, I refrained from going to see her myself.
It was lonely… but
that, too, was now ending.
After today, there was no need to part with Ursula and sleep separately.
… I could love Ursula. The thought made my heart blaze furiously.
No matter how much we'd acted like companions until now, Ursula in the end hadn't been my companion.
But if I could win this, she'd become, in full, my companion at last.
… But Ursula, too, was going to wager everything to bring me down.
I understood her feelings.
A futanari child is both a Master and a Garumon. The Master position inherited from her mother.
That couldn't be a light thing.
The more dearly and lovingly she thought of me, the higher she could climb as a Master by defeating me.
That said, I couldn't lose either.
Conversely, I would swallow up Ursula and climb a step higher.
A match where we both wagered everything.
The opponent was strong. Without question, stronger than anyone I'd ever fought. In combat strength and in being thoroughly versed in my fighting style — the strongest opponent.
Even so… I would absolutely win.
With that strong determination, I gazed up at the night sky.
I might lose. I even thought it frightening.
But I wanted tomorrow to come quickly. A kind of impatient, excited urgency was searing my chest.
… Everything was for tomorrow.
I was looking forward to the dawn so much I could hardly wait.
