Lawless & Sinful Another World

“Actually, I had a little spar with Rena earlier.”

“A spar…?”

“Yes.”

After leaving Colobo’s shop, I had a quick practice match with Rena under “no killing blows” rules.

The result was Rena’s overwhelming victory.

The moment I lightly stepped in, Rena had already slipped into my guard and thrust her fist right under my chin.

Her movement was so fast that I suspected magic, but according to Rena, she hadn’t used any. In fact, she said she had never used magic before.

“So, what was the result?”

“I got completely destroyed. There’s no doubt about it—Rena is an incredibly strong bodyguard.”

“I see…”

If I had asked about Rena’s background, I probably could have learned the source of her strength, but Lorraine didn’t press the matter.

Most likely, she was being considerate because Rena had been a slave.

I didn’t know exactly what position slaves held in this world, but it was obvious that being a slave meant she hadn’t lived a blessed life.

Even I hadn’t been able to ask about Rena’s past yet. The only things I knew were her name and age.

It was possible her parents were already dead, or that there were even sadder things in her history. That’s why I had decided to take things slowly and stay by her side. I felt like Lorraine was respecting that approach, and I was truly grateful.

“Looking at them like this, Rena really does look like Takuma-san’s little sister.”

“If we’re going there, she could also pass as my and Lorraine-san’s daughter.”

“What are you saying? Rena-chan is a beastkin, so she doesn’t look like that at all.”

“Y-yeah… that’s true.”

I had meant it as a light joke, but she hit me with pure logic. It was a full-power joke with some hidden ulterior motive behind it, yet she didn’t even give me the slightest opening.

Married woman Lorraine is formidable.

“Ah, right. Do you want to order anything else? Eating only fried food might be heavy on the stomach.”

“No, I’m fine.”

“Come on, don’t be like that. There are other dishes.”

“No, really—”

“I’ll treat you, Lorraine!”

“Kyaa!?”

Suddenly, a male demi-human with wolf-like features and blue fur appeared behind Lorraine.

The wolf man was large. He reached around from behind and roughly grabbed Lorraine’s breasts with his sharp-clawed hands, squeezing them as he cut into our conversation.

“Instead of drinking with some lame guy like this, why don’t you drink with me?”

“Limbo-san, please stop…”

“If I stop, will you drink with me?”

“That’s… a different matter…”

“Then I can’t stop, can I? No, I don’t want to stop!”

Using all five fingers on each hand over her clothes, Limbo freely enjoyed the sensation of Lorraine’s breasts. His fingers and claws pressed into them, but he was skillfully holding back so as not to cause her real pain. That precise control created an exquisitely stimulating touch.

“If you keep doing this, other guys will notice and you’ll end up getting groped by all sorts of people, you know?”

Several adventurer-looking men were drinking around us. They were currently absorbed in their own conversations, but if they noticed this scene, they would definitely barge in.

With male instincts and the influence of alcohol, there would be no stopping them. There was no doubt Lorraine’s body would be toyed with even more freely.

“Come on, stand up already. I’ll stop once you do, okay?”

Lorraine desperately tried to pull Limbo’s hands off her chest with both of her own, but it was naturally pointless.

If she stood up here, it would clearly be taken as acceptance of drinking with Limbo for the night. However, Lorraine refused to leave her seat. Maybe she simply didn’t want to drink with him.

But the way she wouldn’t stand up looked to me like she cherished the time she was spending with me.

“Hey, Rena.”

I suddenly spoke to Rena, who was standing behind me. There was no reply. But I was sure she was looking at me.

“Can you take care of this guy?”

Still no reply to my question. She probably still didn’t fully trust me yet.

She was still in the stage of evaluating what kind of person I was. If it was impossible, I wished she would just say so—I was ready to shout for help. But Rena chose to show her will through action.

“Hey.”

“Huh?”

Rena walked right up beside Limbo, who was still groping Lorraine’s chest, and spoke to him.

“That person doesn’t like it.”

“Yeah, so? It’s got nothing to do with you, little miss. Go back to your mommy and daddy.”

“You’re not planning to stop?”

“I’ll stop once this lady agrees to drink with me—”

“Then it’s impossible.”

In that instant, Rena clenched her fist and punched Limbo in the abdomen twice.

At first glance, it looked like a little girl’s playful punch, but it must have hit a vital point. Limbo collapsed on the spot with a thud.

Having fulfilled her role, Rena quietly returned to her seat and reached for the fried potatoes again as if nothing had happened.

“Ah, thank you. Is there anything you want…?”

“…Orange juice.”

“Got it…”

I gave my bodyguard a reward for doing her job, then turned my attention back to the scene in front of me.

Limbo was lying behind Lorraine, who was breathing a little heavily. Despite being much larger than both Rena and me, he had been knocked out by just two punches.

Seeing Limbo completely motionless, I was left speechless by Rena’s combat ability.

“S-sorry. I’ll just…”

I had been focused on Limbo, but Lorraine, who had just been assaulted, was right beside me. When I hurriedly looked at her, I saw a woman with slightly flushed cheeks and disheveled hair and clothes.

I thought I heard my heart skip a beat, but I quickly came back to my senses.

“D-don’t worry about it.”

“I’m sorry…”

Lorraine hurriedly left the table and headed toward the restroom.

I thought she might suggest going home immediately after what happened, but it seemed she wanted to fix her appearance first.

My expectations were off, but the earlier Lorraine had been quite dangerous in many ways. If I had taken one wrong step, I might have been the one who turned into a beast.
