The Reincarnated Saint Aims For The Friendship End!

T/N: Minor point, but looking back on translations, Koishi actually uses “-shyan” not “-jyan” as an honorific.

Also, if you haven’t read the title, there’s going to be some sexual harassment and emotional manipulation of women by a man here, courtesy of Curtis using his popularity with martial-arts-minded ladies to the Faction’s advantage.

Cattleya-sama and Koishi-chan hit it off and flirted in the changing room.

“Hey, Kimball, why don’t you join the fencing club with us?” Cattleya said.

Shut up, I’m busy watching Carol change clothes right now.

“Why ask this again?” I asked.

“You have talent with the sword, aye, Makoto-shyan,” Koishi said.

“The three of us will work together to win the Swordsmanship Tournament,” Cattleya said.

No, the Swordsmanship Tournament is individual match-ups, not team match-ups.

“We could win, right, but, we already have Curtis in the Swordsmanship Club, you know?” I said.

“What!?!” Cattleya said. “Curtis-sama is in the Swordsmanship Club?”

“Cu-Cu-Cu-Curtis-shyama,” Koishi stammered.

As soon as I mentioned Curtis-onii-chan’s name, their eyes turned pink.

This is the hue of a maiden struck by love.

“Why is Curtis so popular?” I asked.

“What are you talking about?!!”

“What are you talking about, yeah?!!”

Woah, the two of them were closing in on me with great force.

“You don’t realize how lucky you are to have Curtis-sama on good terms with you!” Cattleya said.

“Curtis-shyama is manly, cool, and the ideal knight, aye,” Koishi said.

“Hu-Huh,” I went.

“If you join the Swordsmanship Club, you might catch Curtis-sama’s attention,” Cattleya said.

“Ah, I yearn for that, aye,” Koishi said.

“Hey, you know he has a fiancée?” I said.

“Impossible…!” Cattleya cried. “Then he can’t call me his wife…!!”

“A concubine, yeah, a mistress, aye,” Koishi said.

“If there is a possibility that I might become pregnant with Curtis-sama’s child, whether it’s a concubine or as a mistress, or if it’s only for one night!!” Cattleya said.

“Oh, Curtis-shyama,” Koishi swooned.

I see, if he was strangely popular with girls like this, I can’t help but think this is why Curtis hates women.

“Not just you, Cattleya-san, but if you also talk to Curtis, Koishi-chan, he’ll have you both join our faction, because he loves strong girls,” I said.

“Wh-Wha-What, I’m no good, nay!” Koishi said.

“And I’m in Potinger-kyou’s Faction,” Cattleya said.

“Ah,” I went.

I completely forgot about this unfortunate swordswoman’s allegiance.

“We-We’re in the north, so there’s no way I’d be tempted by a faction, yeah,” Koishi said.

“Huh? Why?” I asked.

“The northern region is an occupied territory that just entered the kingdom thirty years ago, aye,” Koishi said. “Me, I only belong to a faction composed of northern nobles, aye.”

Ah, most of the northern part was taken from a neighboring country in the previous war, right?

Is there a line drawn between the nobility there, from a foreign nation, and the nobility born in the kingdom?

“I don’t mind that kind of thing,” Cattleya said, “on the contrary, you might say we found a gold vein with Makoto.”

“Are you sure, yeah?” Koishi said.

“It’s nice, it’s nice, it’s nice to be invited by Curtis-sama,” Cattleya said.

“I wish we can if we could, aye,” Koishi said.

“Well, don’t expect anything, just wait,” I said.

It’s fine to invite Cattleya-sama to join the Saint’s Faction, but it would be nicer to have Mike come with her.

(Let’s take a closer look.)

(Ha, I’m an old man in the brain.)

Ah, Carol finished changing clothes while I wasn’t looking.

“Why do you look like your world has been destroyed, Makoto?” Carol asked.

“I’m doing no such thing,” I said.

Chieh.

I walked back to Class A alongside Carol.

In the background, Cattleya-sama and Koishi-chan are having a lively discussion about swordsmanship.

“Makoto, what are you doing for lunch?” Carol asked.

“Hmm? Corinna-chan and I have to go to the cafeteria in the girls’ dormitory to witness a supplier coming in,” I said.

“I see, can I go too?” Carol said.

“It would be helpful if you came, Carol,” I said.

What about Curtis and Elmer? The boys should go anywhere and eat properly.

When I returned to the classroom and threw my gym clothes and other things in the lockers, Curtis came to Class A again. He has a big smile.

“You found a gold vein, Makoto, the north was a blind spot, and you swallowed it up,” Curtis said.

“Who’s your intelligence agent?” I asked.

Also, information about the locker room talk is leaked to Curtis.

There’s an agent for him among the girls in Class A.

“It’s a secret, hey, Kokeshi, why don’t you join the Saint’s Faction? I want you,” Curtis said.

“Curtis, you don’t really remember girls’ names, do you?” I said.

Koishi-chan turned red and panicked when Curtis called out to her.

Cattleya-sama seems to feel regretful it wasn’t her.

“She’s Koishi-chan,” I said.

“Kokeshi is the nickname I gave her, referring to Horai’s adorable wooden carved dolls,” I said.

“I’m going to change my name to Ko- Kokeshi, aye,” Koishi said.

“Alright, alright, she’s a good girl. I’ll wait until her body grows up a little more, so someday in the future, I’ll take her in my arms and impregnate her,” Curtis said, patting her on the head.

“Fuwaaaaiii, I’m sooo happy, aye,” Koishi said.

""

What is this dirty sexual harassment man move?

I’ll hit you from behind.

“I’ll be your yoroshi, so go talk to your Chichi,” Curtis said.

“I, I understand, aye, I’ll do whatever Curtis-sama says, yeah,” Koishi said.

Cattleya-sama looks very remorseful.

“I want to take Cattleya as my wife, but there are still faction troubles to think about,” Curtis said.

“S-Sa-Say-Say it isn’t so, that’s such a shame! It’s an unexpected pleasure just to hear from you!” Cattleya said.

“If I pull out even Michael-kyou, it will be an act of war, so just hold on for a little while, and when the time comes, I’ll pull you both out,” Curtis said.

“Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes, I’ll be waiting for you!!” Cattleya said.

If there are two levels’ worth of social status difference, can you embrace as many girls as you want, and do all you can with a harem? That’s amazing.

If you allow them to be a concubine, you can impregnate as many girls as you want, what kind of eroge element is this?

“Makoto… Let’s go to Hiyoko-Do again…” Elmer said after he put his gym clothes in his locker and came over.

“That’s right, Kokeshi will also join the faction, so we’ll have a welcome party instead,” Curtis said.

“I’m sorry, I’m going to the girls’ dormitory cafeteria for lunch,” I said.

“Ah, she became the person in charge of the girls’ dormitory cafeteria,” Carol said. “Makoto does something every day.”

“Somehow troubles are coming from the other side, and I’m the one who has to clean up,” I said.

“That’s… I’m sorry to hear that,” Elmer said.

I’m sorry, too, Elmer.

“Okay, then let’s go to a high-class restaurant. I’ll treat Kokeshi and Cattleya to commemorate our friendship,” Curtis said.

“Y-You-You-You’re serious, yeah?” Koishi said.

“Uuuuu, I’m happy to be friends with you, Curtis-sama,” Cattleya said.

“It can’t be helped… can it?” Elmer sighed.

“Curtis, you should also call Elsa-san,” I said.

“Eh, what, I’m having a fun meal with my future concubine candidates, why do you want me to call Elsa?”

“Elsa-san will be pleased,” I said.

“Yeah, that’s true, but is there any profit for me?” Curtis said.

“You won’t profit, but the faction will benefit plenty,” I said.

“Gnggh,” Curtis grumbled.

“Don’t tell me… you haven’t asked Elsa-sama to join the faction yet, Curtis?” I asked.

“Not yet,” Curtis said. “What a pain in the ass…”

Koishi-chan and Cattleya-sama are all smiles, but well, that’s how the world works.

Becoming a concubine or a mistress establishes a way to get along well with a man’s legal wife.

“Okay, see you later,” I said.

“Ou, see you soon,” Curtis said.

“In the afternoon again… Let’s experiment with Light magic, Chichi is here again,” Elmer said.

“Understood, Koishi-chan and Cattleya-san, see you later, too.”

“Thank you, yeah,” Koishi said.

“See you later, Makoto, Caroline,” Elmer said.

“See you later, everyone,” Carol said.

We say our goodbyes and I leave with Carol.

“Now then, I have to change the supplier of the cafeteria,” I said.

“I see, do you have any help?” Carol said.

“I can call a contractor who goes in and out of the Great Temple, but hmm,” I mutter.

“We have contacts in our territory, too,” Carol said.

“For the time being, let’s get into a fight and kick out the current contractor,” I said.

“So it’s a fight straight out the gate, is it?” Carol said.

I left the school building and walked towards the girls’ dormitory.

I wonder if Corinna has already gone there.

""

I wave my hand at the dormitory knights guarding the place and enter.

I walk down the corridor and open the locker room door in the cafeteria to enter.

“Makoto-san, thank you for coming,” Marissa said.

“You’re here, Makoto, Carol.”

“Hello, Corinna,” I said.

“Heyo.”

“Makoto is on the loose.”

“Did Albright-sama come too?”

Marissa-san opened the kitchen door.

“For one more meal, Albright-sama will be coming with,” I said.

“Understood,” Marissa said.

“Does that bother you?” I asked.

“No, that’s not true, rather, I was thinking of serving lunch as a thank you for your help, Makoto-san and Corinna-san, so I added Albright-sama a portion, it’s all fine,” Marissa said.

“Wow, we’re going to have a full meal, hooray,” I said.

“Yes, we serve it to the staff who come in for lunch,” Marissa said.

The cafeteria in the girls’ dormitory basically doesn’t serve lunch, but they make lunch for a fee for students who aren’t feeling well and are resting.

Also, after school, there is also a cafe space that serves tea and sweets.

The maids drink tea there, and students who find it difficult to study in their rooms use it.

“I feel kind of bad, Carol said.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, just the presence of someone who has the status of an earl’s daughter will scare off commoners, so it’s a status fee,” Marissa said.

“We don’t serve anything that extravagant, so don’t worry about it,” Gioa said as they brought us lunch.

Oh, rather, it’s the pork stew from the day before yesterday.

And a salad and white bread, is there?

“From the day before yesterday? I asked.

“Well, please eat it,” Gioia said.

When I put a bite of stew in my mouth, the taste of delicious meat juice spread.

“I remade it with leftover meat from the upper noble’s food,” Gioia said.

“This is delicious, it’s supposed to taste like this,” I said.

“If the ingredients are bad, there’s nothing you can do about the end product,” Carol said.

“There’s meat in it, I’m so happy,” Corinna said.

“There was no meat the day before yesterday, right?” I said.

“If you cut off the rotten parts from the meat we’ve had so far, you’ll really only get meat-flavored juice,” Gioia explained.

“Was it that bad? Ah, this is delicious,” Carol said, her eyes widening as she ate the stew.

After never having to eat terrible food, Carol can’t understand us.
