My Reincarnation Skills Are “Playing With Dolls” and “Playing With Clay”, but What Am I Supposed to

Chapter 36: Together with the Queen

"You're also a reincarnator, aren't you?"

So, they noticed as well.

"I am Akizawa Genichi. I came from Japan just like you."

Lord Gentsu, or rather, the man who introduced himself as Akizawa Genichi, asked, "Are you a coffee person or a tea person?" and had a maid bring drinks.

Then, he ordered all of his subordinates to leave the room.

Most of them were slender and had a Lolita-like appearance, which didn't match my type, but they were all beautiful or cute, so it was a little disappointing.

However... I took a sip and was impressed. It was much better than the chain stores near the train station. I'm not obsessed with coffee, but this is genuine coffee, right? I wonder if there are coffee bean trees in this world too.

"We search for similar plants even in other countries for both coffee and tea, and have them grown on contract farms."

He casually mentioned it. How much obsession, or rather, financial power?

"It's not just about coffee. I aim to ensure that everything, from clothing to food and shelter, allows me to live comfortably. It took over ten years, but I've reached a decent level."

Impressive.

"So, what about you? How did you come to this world?"

I hesitated for a moment, but I thought this might be a chance, so I began to tell him everything that had happened until now.

It probably got through to him surprisingly easily, thanks to my communication skills, but of course, it was also because he had almost the same experiences.

It's not because otakus think alike, or so I think.

"I see. It seems my hypothesis was correct after all."

"Hypothesis?"

"Yeah, I've met five reincarnators before you. You're the sixth."

What Akizawa Genichi, or rather, Lord Gentsu, said went beyond my imagination.

Akizawa was, indeed, a typical otaku-like man. Thirteen years ago, he extended his time as a university student longer than others due to repeating a year, and he died while trying to save an old woman and her granddaughter who were about to be hit by a large truck. He seemed to have been reincarnated.

Then, he met a god, just like me, and wished to "become the richest person in the world." As a result, he obtained a bonus skill and quickly amassed immense wealth.

Now, he held the status of an independent knight, not belonging to any country. With the power of money, he acquired territories and had numerous private soldiers, making him effectively like a king of an independent nation.

"And so, all the people I met until now have had the experience of 'saving the lives of multiple people and dying as a substitute.'"

So, that's how it is.

Well, if it's just dying as a substitute for someone, it might not be too common, but adding the condition of 'saving the lives of multiple people' could narrow it down significantly.

"Among the five reincarnators I've met so far, three of them are presumably still alive."

This is a considerably dangerous world with many wars (just as that goddess said), and most reincarnated individuals have powerful skills, often being burdened with roles similar to heroes in stories. As a result, the mortality rate is also high.

Akiyama proudly said that he thoroughly avoided such routes and pursued only what benefited him.

"So, show me your strange skill."

The condition was to provide information as a predecessor in exchange for satisfying his curiosity.

I conjure a lump of clay.

It appears on the table, not on an expensive-looking carpet. Though the table seems to be a valuable piece of furniture as well, I first bring out a large plate with a clay assortment on it, like pottery.

"Hahaha! That's certainly a bizarre skill."

He laughed.

"Well, you must have had a hard time."

"Unique skills are usually more powerful, right?"

It's pointless to feel envious hearing such stories, but still.

"Yeah, you're right. Besides my 'Divine Favor of Commerce,' which is special, there are talents that surpass people from this world in combat and magic right from the start, like being able to fly. Well, it's like cheating, although there are limitations. But for the time being, I can obtain the ability to 'Wish Avenue.'"

I feel depressed again.

"So, what about the other one, 'Doll Play'?"

"Rina, come out."

After Zagoo left, I called out to Rina, who had been hiding behind my back and concealing her presence.

Rina appeared on the table, dressed like a default doll character but walking slowly with an unusually displeased expression.

Akiyama adjusted his glasses and gazed intently at her appearance.

To help him see better, I chanted, "Grow bigger," and made Rina life-sized. It's like a fashion show on the table, I guess?

Well, she's still a junior high school student. It would be presumptuous to call her a fashion model.

Just then, Akiyama dove under the table.

"W-What the hell is this?"

Huh, what's wrong?

Oh, was it a bad idea to make her wear high heels and stand on an expensive table?

"<Kyaa, no way!>"

Rina held down the hem of her skirt and let out a cute scream like a girl her age, which I heard for the first time.

"An immature form with no irregularities, slender legs... Perfectly crafted... Ahh! I can't resist it!!!"

Akiyama pressed his face against her dress and started sniffing. It's extremely creepy.

"Hey, come on, that's too much, isn't it? Seriously..."

I managed to hold Akiyama's neck and make Rina step back.

"Hah..."

Akiyama came back to his senses.

"S-Sorry. I... I mean..."

Now he's bringing his oily face close to mine. Please, stop it!

"Give it to me! I'll pay any amount of money!"

Huh?

"No way! Absolutely not! Shiro, stop it!"

Huh??

That's right.

The person this guy helped was an old woman and her "granddaughter."

I couldn't understand why someone like him, who seemed to prioritize money above all else, would risk his life to help others. I can't really judge others, but it didn't make sense to me.

This guy is a true lolicon.

There's no doubt about it.

I won't let go of Lina.

No, it's not because I'm a lolicon, but because when I think about what happened when Lina got injured, I feel like our lives are somehow connected...

Lina at her actual size is hiding behind my back, trembling. It's the first time I've seen her like this.

"No, this is a unique skill entrusted to me by God, so it can't be transferred. And if I lose this, I'll die, and, ah, if something happens to me, she'll also disappear..."

It's mostly a bluff, but for a moment, Gento's expression looked so dangerous that I wondered if he would kill me and take her by force.

He's a seriously dangerous guy.

"I-I see..."

He still doesn't seem to give up.

"Oh, and it can change clothes too, right..."

As if regaining his composure, Gento looks at Lina and gulps down his saliva.

"Ah, um, for example..."

Well, it was a condition that I would teach him about the skill.

I bring Lina forward and try changing her clothes a few times.

Sailor uniform, gym uniform, warrior, magician, priest... Every time I change her clothes using the skill, the middle-aged man who has gained weight starts panting heavily.

Disgusting.

Why is she completely bald?

Lina tightly closes her eyes and endures it. I'm starting to feel sorry for her.

"Well, I guess that's about it..." I try to end it, but...

"Wait, there's one more thing I want to ask for!"

No, don't come near me. Gento whispers something in my ear, and it's a dangerous request.

"...Then, this will be the last one. The queen of SM?"

The life-sized junior high school girl transforms into a bondage outfit, which doesn't suit her body lacking curves at all.

She even has a whip, but who even wants that?

"Ooh, this is great! The queen I've been looking for!"

At that moment, Lina, who had been standing trembling, snapped.

"Cut it out already, you damn pig!!"

With the sound of a whip cracking, my heel stomped on Gentsu's head.

Wait, that's...

"Yes, that's right, Lina."

That's just how it is, pleasing that kind of person...

While being whipped, Gentsu pleaded to me with an expression of joy.

"Please! Just for one night, lend her to me!"

**********

In the end, after much deliberation, I decided to lend her to him for one night on the condition that he would never do anything to hurt Lina.

In return, Karina would receive full support from you.

"May, prepare ten sets of basic equipment for undead combat from the armory, along with ten interest-free gold coins. Deliver them to Skutari tomorrow morning, along with the loan document."

Gentsu, calling himself my true friend and addressing me as "Gensan," gave instructions to a woman who seemed to be his secretary at the end of the table.

As it was already dusk and I was a little worried about Lina, I decided to stay overnight as well. However, Gentsu quickly left, seemingly eager to be alone with Lina, leaving me to entertain his secretary.

...Lina, I'm counting on you.

(If you resent me, I'll resent you back...)

Muttering to myself, Lina was led away by a chubby cowherd, just like a helpless calf.

Well, even though Lina can move, she's still a doll.

Her body lacks detailed parts and is completely flat.

So, no matter how much of a masochist, true loli, or pervert she is, physically she can't do this or that... It'll be fine, probably, hopefully.

But I'm a little worried. Sorry, it's for the sake of our country, please bear with it.

In Gensan's mansion, everyone working here is a beauty or a cute girl, but it seems that only those with a lolita attribute are particularly favored.

That's definitely not my taste.

Among them, the secretary known as May appears to be in her twenties, but she is a mature woman, which is rare here. Of course, she is undeniably beautiful, the type that everyone would agree on, and she has a somewhat Japanese-style face, maybe mixed with European or American heritage.

If he managed to discern my preferences in such a short time, I shouldn't underestimate him.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Shiro-sama. Please follow me."

After briefly leaving to make the necessary arrangements, 30 minutes later, May returned to the waiting room wearing a dress that was modest yet not overly flashy, with a generous neckline.

"I will guide you to a dream-like night that you can only experience here."

She smiled enchantingly.
