Jobless Chapter 12 Time to Release the New Lewd Skill!!
I was taken to the seventh station, where I was promptly interrogated.
They call it a guardroom, so I thought that it was just a small hut full of sweaty soldiers. In fact, it was a beautiful house which was a good size. In a private room, I was in a conversation with two old soldiers.
But I’m talking mostly to the old man in front of me. The other will be just looking at me standing by the wall.
「 Touya, was it? So, you came to the capital just a while ago? 」
「 Yeah. A woman named Aria brought me here, she’s a girl who hunts monsters 」
「 You didn’t know Erinabelle-sama because you just came to the capital recently? So, where did you live before? 」
「 Huh? Oh, about that, it’s a little far. It got hard staying there so I came to this place 」
Well, that’s how the conversation went, with the occasional help from Cui. Fortunately, this old man knows what he’s talking about, and so far, he’s been able to keep calm and carry on talking.
「 Well, many things are puzzling. Lad, you don’t look like you’re trained at all. Far from being a rebel army member… 」
「 Haa… What even were the rebels exactly? 」
「 Huh? You came from the countryside that you don’t even know that? 」
The old man was taken aback but explained things to me. As expected, the country seems to be in the middle of a civil war at the moment.
「 After the death of His Majesty, the former emperor, a struggle began over who would inherit his empire 」
「 I see… 」
「 There was a split of power at that time. Now there’s a big division between the camp of His Majesty, Aranxx, who rules over the imperial capital, and the camp of his brother, Yugdvaan 」
「 The brother is with the rebels… 」
「 Yes. Well, if we break it into smaller pieces, there are still other camps. In short, the camps other than His Majesty Aranx are collectively referred to as rebels 」
Ugh… I thought it seemed like a pretty peaceful city.
No, this is the imperial capital of a great empire. If this gets rough, that’ll be the end of this empire.
「 Speaking of which. I want to ask about Erinabelle-sama 」
「 What? 」
I’m getting interrogated, but the old man listens to my questions properly. He’s a good man.
「 She’s such a small girl and yet, she’s so strong. What’s with that? 」
「 Oh, that’s because she’s always using some kind of physical enhancement magic 」
「 M-Magic? 」
There! That’s the fantasy! I knew it was like that!
「 Nobles usually have a background of handling magic to some extent. Erinabelle-sama is one of the Empire’s twelve great Generals, and it’s said that her mana is the strongest among them. If you don’t want to die, don’t defy Erinabelle-sama 」
「 O-Okay… 」
No, I want to take revenge on that brat later. To be specific, I want to use Cui’s lewd skills to bang her as hard as I can. She just arrested a good citizen and made accusations against me.
The old man looked behind him, but the man standing by the wall shook his head. Then, he looked back at me.
「 Anyway. We know that you’re not lying 」
「 ? 」
That’s a weird phrase, knowing that I’m not lying.
「 I’d like to release you, but I need Erinabelle-sama’s signature. I’ll be back as soon as early evening, so stay still at the prison until then 」
「 Seriously? Do I have to stay here? 」
「 That’s already decided. Go to your cell 」
「 Ugh 」
Leaving the room, another man took me to the jail. Then, I waited for Erinabelle to return to the station.
■
「 He wasn’t lying? 」
「 Yes 」
The room Touya left had two men who interrogated him and were having a talk.
「 I’ve used all kinds of magic to disturb his mental state. The man was telling the truth about everything 」
「 Then he doesn’t know. The rebels, the current state of the empire, and Erinabelle-sama 」
The man standing by the wall was using magic to observe Touya the entire time. He was measuring the mental disturbance when he lies.
But there were no signs of Touya lying.
「 Which part of the countryside did he come from? 」
「 I’m sure he came from a peaceful, conflict-free village. I’m worried that he won’t survive the capital like that 」
「 Well. Touya’s an adult and there are free job placement agencies in the capital. He’ll survive 」
He may be naive, but he’s not a rebel of the empire. Knowing that there’s no reason to keep him.
However, thanks to the reputation of the current emperor, the rebels have become more popular recently. If civilians were known to be wrongfully detained, they’d go out of their way to provide the insurgents some fodders.
「 I’ll compile the report for Erinabelle-sama 」
「 Thanks. I hope he can get off by tonight 」
「 She’s a knight and an upper noble. She’s on a different level of busy compared to us 」
Either way, they need Erinabelle’s signature to release Touya. The two went through the paperwork with their familiar hands.

「 When they called it a cell, I thought it would be some wet place 」
『 It’s clean here. And the station was also clean, maybe it shows the character of that woman 』
I wasn’t taken to a dungeon room but to an ordinary room.
As expected, the doors are locked, and there will be guards in the corridor, though. But the room itself is quite clean.
「 Still, I got to hear a lot of things 」
『 Hmm. The son of the former emperor, the brother who holds the imperial capital, but I didn’t realize that civil war has been going on for so long thanks to his brother and the other forces that weren’t happy about it 』
I don’t really understand it, because I don’t know the version of this world or the power structure. There are probably other countries besides the empire, and there aren’t any other countries that would invade or do something to the civil unrest.
「 This is a much more dangerous world than I thought… 」
『 Well, it was my next world. The chances of it being a peaceful world are exceedingly small 』
「 …huh? 」
Cui matters something disturbing.
『 The world that calls to me is generally in search of heroes. For example, a hero that would unify the continent. Another example is a heavenly hero with absolute military prowess. That’s how we are 』
On earth, that would be Alexander the Great. Either way, a world in need of heroes must be in constant conflict.
「 I see. Cui was supposed to bring forth a new hero in this world… 」
『 But I don’t have the strength to do that now 』
A pity to this world. Cui is here, but there’s no hero born, or rather, Cui did this to itself.
「 Anyway, let’s return to Japan once we’re released 」
『 Oh? Are you staying the night? 』
「 Why not? Well, we had this experience 」
I’m so hungry. I need to buy some souvenirs before leaving.
『 Hmm. By the way. If you spend all that money now, you can unlock a new lewd skill 』
「 Huh? 」
Cui said, and my interest went all to the lewd skill!
「 N-No way! The double sensitivity? 」
『 That’s not likely. We can unlock the “Cuiuce” It’s a lewd skill that forces the target to be in estrus 』
「 !!! 」
That’s still great! Forcing a woman to be in heat is a situation men dream about at least once.
『 But, if we release them, all the hero points we accumulated so far and the money you have gathered will disappear. The gold here is at risk of disappearing when we return to Japan anyway, but we can hold off the Hero points. What’s your decision? 』
「 Let’s do it! 」
『 An immediate reply. You’re good. That’s my contractor
Kukeke. To think that I’ll get a forced estrus skill at this time.
I can picture Erinabelle in my head. But, Cui warned me.
『 Since it’s you, you want to use it with a woman right away, right? 』
「 Y-yeah… 」
『 There are some precautions before releasing the lewd skills 』
「 Huh? 」
Cui once again explained what lewd skills are. The short version is that Cui doesn’t have a 100 percent chance of succeeding with the effects of the lewd skills.
「 What do you mean? 」
『 It’s the effect of having my powers sealed. Forced Contraception, you can pick that freely when using Cuiuce, but… Apart from that, the skills have a bit of conditions 』
So even if activating the lewd skills, success depends on luck. Once a lewd skill is active, there’s a cool-down time until I can activate the next one. In short, I can’t use them in succession.
But, if I consume hero points, the interval can shorten. Then.
「 The success probability depends on our target? 」
『 Indeed. This is a world where there’s magic and mana. For those with strong anti-magic powers, the probability of success is even lower. If it works, the effects are weakened 』
「 ……………… 」
Erinabelle Wonrod. One of the most powerful knights in the empire with strong magic on herself.
You’re saying that if I use Cui’s lewd skill, it’s weakened, and I can’t guarantee that it’ll affect her?
「 Ugh, that’s great! Let’s give it a go! If it fails, the worst we could do is go back to Japan and we’ll be fine 」
『 Hmm, let’s release our lewd skill then 』
Thus, the new lewd skill Cuiuce has been released. After a short while, I was called out and I left the room.
