Lolita and Bitch

---

“Which is why I can’t see it happening. I’m sorry if that disappoints you or if I’ve wasted your time….”

“I see. And what do you have to say about this?” 

Richard’s eyes shifted to somewhere just over my shoulder.

Who is he talking to? That question clearly wasn’t directed at me as I’m still seated and he’s looking at someone behind the sofa. Naturally, my eyes were drawn to the back of the room. Goggoru-chan also turned around to see who it could be. 

In a dark corner of the room, emerged the figure of a young woman. As she came closer to us and the lights, I was able to see that it was Sophie-chan. 

Did she come in without me noticing or has she been here the entire time? 

She remained some distance away from us but her eyes remained locked on mine. 

She began speaking in a quieter tone than normal.

“Baron Tanaka, please, will you marry me.”

“….”

Richard is good at getting things to go his way.

And we’re in his home. It would make sense that any negotiations that happen here give him home field advantage.

Last time I was here, I won.

This time, however I’ve been completely defeated.

That’s not to say that he tricked me or did anything underhanded. I’m sure he has a very simple policy when it comes to negotiating or any decisions he needs to make. He will do anything in his power to start from an advantageous position and common sense no longer applies.

Which is why Sophie-chan is completely naked.

Illustration that should go here but WordPress is absolute garbage on mobile. Oh, and NSFW

“Richard-san, what is this…?”

“Tanaka-san, you’re interested in younger girls, correct?” 

This wasn’t an accusation nor was there a hint of malice in the question.

He showed me a broad smile and spoke in a more jovial manner.

It was similar to something he had said to Allen before.

“….”

It’s also similar to the noble mage and his obsession with the loligon.

Maybe it’s common amongst the nobility. Or maybe the joy in his voice is coming from the idea that his daughter will be safe from this busamen. 

Whatever the reason, he made no mention of Sophie-chan or her eye-catching appearance. The display she was putting on was meant to be the last straw before I finally broke. Richard knew that he didn’t need to mention it for me to already be past the point of simple temptation.

“Did you consider the risks, Richard-san?”

“What do you mean?” 

“Despite how you may feel, we aren’t close and neither of us knows much about the other. What if there’s something I’ve been hiding?”

His smile didn’t falter as I asked this.

“I considered that and determined that this way would result in the best possible outcome. Was I wrong?” 

“…not necessarily.” 

Sophie-chan still had her eyes locked on mine. I could tell by the desperation in her gaze that if I were to refuse or use my fireball in this situation, she’d have nowhere left to go. The idol bitch will no longer be accepted by her family or the FitzClarence faction. I don’t know how many daughters Count Bitch has, but based on the little I know about him, sacrificing his third daughter would be a simple decision.

“…..”

“What do you say, Baron Tanaka?”

With those words, Richard put the last nail in my coffin.

I wish I had just ran away last night and not remained so optimistic. 

Oh, so Sophie-chan has darker lips.

“Thank you, Richard-san.”

“Does that mean you accept?”

“I will, but the marriage itself will have to wait.”

“…why is that?” 

For the first time tonight, I caught him off guard.

I think Richard has misjudged who I am. The man facing him is a lifelong virgin that would face countless perils and risk his own life in order to find an untouched hymen. Each day of my life is spent in pursuit of this holy grail. I won’t give up on that dream so easily.

“I know this may come as a surprise, but I’ve never had sex. Therefore, I’ve already decided that my first partner shall be a virgin, a girl that has never had sex. If Sophie-chan qualifies for this role, I will accept her as my wife.”

I’ve played my hand.

It may be the strongest hand I could play in this situation. 

My darkest secret has been revealed and I feel like crying.

Edita Sensei, I want to cry.

Maybe she has some virgin elf friends.

An elf virgin that is the same age as me.

“…i-is that so? I see.”

Richard actually seemed surprised.

That kind of makes me happy. But why does everything always end up with me in this same situation? The battle against the loligon, everything that happened during the conflict, and Goggoru-chan; all of it has involved the stares of people causing me physical pain or a deep pain in my chest that seems impossible to heal.

My heart is in so much pain right now; even more so than when Goggoru-chan immediately rejects my advances.

“Proving that is a simple matter.”

“Eh….”

“Cyan-san, show him that you are still a virgin.”

Richard is clearly convinced that Sophie-chan is a virgin. 

But, come on, anyone that’s at least somewhat familiar with her has to know that she’s a complete slut.

There’s no chance she still has a hymen. If she had somehow protected it until now, I wouldn’t have an issue. I’d have accepted and immediately went to see Count Bitch to arrange the wedding with my soon to be father-in-law.

“…Duke FitzClarence, I’m sorry.”

“What are you apologizing for?” 

“I’m not pure…I’m not a virgin.”

“….”

Richard’s face went rigid after hearing Sophie-chan’s declaration. 

His lip even started to twitch. 

And his narrow eyes, which are his most dominant trait, began to open slightly. For Richard, this was about as wide-eyed as he can get.

“You can see for yourself if you’d like.”

Sophie-chan spread her lips apart with her fingers.

Sophie-chan proposed a challenge to the Duke who was left with no choice but to answer. Duke FitzClarence picked up a small bell at his side and gently rang it. In response, a group of maids entered the room from a side door. They received instructions from Richard and began inspecting Sophie-chan.

They’re really going to do it.

Now that I think about it, I don’t know how to check for an intact hymen.

I would like to experience this inspection first-hand some day.

“….”

After a thorough inspection one of the maids walked over to Richard to report her findings.

Immediately after she finished speaking, Richard’s expression became distorted by both anger and disappointment. 

I don’t know what she said, but I’m sure he now believes she’s not a virgin. 

“I’m sorry if I failed to meet your expectations.” 

The idol bitch looked sincerely apologetic and bowed her head to convey this. The sight of a completely naked Sophie-chan bowing may be the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen. Sophie-chan’s charms really shine when she’s being humiliated. I’d love to be able to see what she looks like from behind.

Nice job, Richard. I’ll be sure to add this moment to the CG gallery in my mind. Not just one shot from this event, but two. Sophie-chan is so cute that I can’t stop myself from loving her despite all that I know. What am I going to do? 

“…I understand.” 

Richard gave her a reluctant nod.

I didn’t come here expecting to talk about who is and who isn’t a virgin.

I want to enjoy this moment for as long as possible, but I expect to be involved with Sophie-chan in the future and maintaining a good relationship comes first.
