Milk Idol: Epilogue

“Calm down, everyone. We can do that later.”

When god closes a door, he opens a window. That old saying proved to be true in this instance.

The false rumors had drastically reduced the job offers coming to the Holstein Girls.

But Kurumi, Aika, Amiko, Tooru, and the other employees worked hard to turn that crisis into a new opportunity.

The office workers had gone around from morning to night bowing down to different business contacts until their shoes were worn out.

Novel Introduction: Milk Idol

Lastly is one is an entry in the Milk Series that I started working on at the start of the year because it was Year of the Cow, but it ended up falling by the wayside. I decided to finish it up now to get it out just barely in the relevant year.


Milk Idol: Sexy Titty Concert (ミルクアイドル イチャイチャにゅ~ライブ)

Author: Kanzaki Misora (神崎美宙)
Illustrator: Sakurano Ru (櫻野露)
Label: 2D Dream Bunko (二次元ドリーム文庫)
Release Date: 7/19/2014

A young man working at an idol agency is suddenly assigned as the new manager for the Holstein Girls, a popular idol group with a cow theme and a strong emphasis on their boobs. Furthermore, he learns that the cow idols are lactating and part of his managerial duties is to milk them.

Milk Idol: Chapter 6 - Sexy Titty Concert

The time between the release of the tabloids and the beginning of their national tour went by in a flash.

Just as Junko had feared, people had used the baseless rumors to bash the Holstein Girls more every single day. They lost offers on commercials and photobooks and their number of TV appearances and live events was drastically reduced.

Wherever they did go, the press hounded them, surrounding them and aiming microphones their way.

“Those articles have no basis in fact. We apologize for the confusion and for any worry this has brought our fans. Our office is responding to the situation.”

Tooru wanted to blame the press for spreading the false rumors, but he stopped himself when he saw the Holstein Girls politely bowing every time the question came their way. He knew this had to pain them even more than him.

So he, President Junko, and the rest of the employees restrained their anger and poured all their energy into ensuring the Holstein Girls’ first national tour was a success.

Milk Idol: Chapter 5 - The Idols’ Day Off

“Welcome to the Holstein Girls’ hot spring report

Tooru remembered the show they had filmed the other day was airing today, so he switched on his room’s TV.

He caught it just as Kurumi, Aika, and Amiko were cheerfully announcing the segment title while doing their usual Cowtits Love Pose.

The TV guide described the show as “The popular cow idols meet real cows in Hokkaido…and provide a sexy report on the local sites, foods, and fun!”

The three girls who had swept the idol world with their hot bodies barely contained in skimpy cow print costumes had been invited to a variety show where they tried milking some cows themselves and introduced the audience to some famous Hokkaido locations. It ended with them bathing in an open-air hot spring in a blatant push for ratings.

They weren’t no-name idols anymore, so he felt like they didn’t need to do things like this, but they refused to take their popularity for granted and accepted any offers their schedule would allow.

“Sigh. I’m getting hungry, so maybe I should fix something.”

Milk Idol: Chapter 4 - Sexy Photoshoot Practice

“Eh? We’re making a sexy photobook!?”

The Holstein Girls were finally getting their first national tour. The three members were even busier than normal with their TV appearances and magazine interviews, but they still had to keep up with their voice training and dance lessons to prepare for their concerts.

That was when a new job offer arrived. They had only just returned to the office after practicing the choreography for a new song when Tooru relayed the news Junko had given him.

“Yes. A few publishers have made offers, so we are in negotiations to decide on one.”

Kurumi, Aika, and Amiko were more than just idols. Their sexy bodies and revealing cow print costumes were a key factor to their popularity.

Milk Idol: Chapter 3 - Jealous Girl

“P-please calm down. This isn’t the time for that.”

The Holstein Girls were one of the most popular idol groups at the moment, so Tooru’s workload had grown considerably since he had been appointed their manager.

He had to manage their schedules, drive them to and from jobs, greet the staff at each job location, and so much more. He appreciated the constant stream of offers, especially because it meant he did not have to work to find jobs for them.

What jobs he accepted had more to do with President Junko’s opinion than his own. But even if he did not have the right to choose, he had few complaints.

After all, he had been given a much more important job and that was currently all he could think about.

“Eh? But it is time for it.”

“It really is. My boobs are so full of milk I can’t focus on my work.”

Milk Idol: Chapter 2 - Massage

“No, no, no! This part needs a 1-2, 1-2 rhythm!”

One of the agency building’s rooms had a mirror that covered one entire wall. The Holstein Girls were wearing differently colored track suits and receiving a dance lesson there.

They had done a magazine photoshoot that afternoon and immediately moved on to learning their new song’s choreography. Their schedule had been this busy for days on end, so it was enough to make Tooru dizzy.

“Once more from the top!”

“Of course!”

The dance trainer critiqued their performance and they did not let their weariness show as they completed the lesson.

(Sigh…I can’t believe I did that.)

Milk Idol: Chapter 1 - Milking an Idol

“Ready, set, go…we’re the Holstein Girls

The three girls stood side by side as their cheerful voices rang through the studio.

They squeezed their breasts between their upper arms and positioned their hands to form hearts with their thumbs and forefingers. These hearts were placed right in front of their impressive cleavages and their fans called it the Cowtits Love Pose.

The Holstein Girls made no attempt to hide where much of their appeal came from, so they always made the pose when introducing themselves on stage. The horny audience here erupted into cheers.

“Whew, you girls sure are popular. …Now I can’t help but notice how much those tops are straining. We aren’t going to have wardrobe malfunction on our hands, are we?”

Their tits looked like they were ready to pop out of their cow-print costumes, so the host made sure to joke about it and turn the microphone in their direction.

“That’s not a problem at all since we’re wearing pasties.”

They were recording a variety talk show.

Milk Idol: Prologue



“Just try and resist our massive cowtits

The TV displayed three girls singing and dancing in unison on a stage lit up by a rainbow of lights.

They were the Holstein Girls, a popular idol group. As you can likely imagine from the name, they were known for wearing cow print costumes.

Furthermore, those flashy cow costumes were filled out by attractively large breasts which were even referenced in the lyrics of their song. They could sing and dance just as well as a traditional idol group, so they had rapidly gained popularity online.

They had been the breakout hit of a new trend in the idol industry of being more blatantly and openly sexualized, so they had garnered a lot of attention and gained many passionate fans.

They were wildly popular, so they made frequent TV appearances despite the lewd nature of their act.

(Sigh, they’re all so hot. And look at them jiggle.)

Novel Introduction: Elf Harem

The second translation I have for you is the first novel that takes place in the same world as Lolimon Harem.


After Reincarnating, I Turned the Elf Palace into a Harem! (転生したらエルフの王宮をハーレムにデキました!)


Author: Mikado Tetsurou (みかど鉄狼)
Illustrator: Yuran (ゆらん)
Label: Bishoujo Bunko (美少女文庫)
Release Date: 5/18/2017

A Japanese teen(?) dies and is reincarnated in another world as an elf named Kyle. It turns out his unique elf magic lets him boost other elves' magic using sex and –conveniently for him – the elf princess and other elves in the royal palace could really use their magic boosted because some dark elves are trying to attack.

Elf Harem Epilogue: I Turned the Elf Palace into a Happy Harem

One month later, a grand coronation ceremony was held in Finegard’s capital.

The king’s funeral was complete and the period of mourning over, so the people celebrated their new ruler without any sorrow.

Traditionally, Finegard’s new monarchs were given their crown by a priest in the Spirit Chapel. It acted as a sign that god had granted them their power.

After the coronation, the monarch would ride a carriage down the capital’s main street to reach the royal palace while the people cheered. Their official duties would begin once they were inside the palace.

But on this day, the people witnessed an unprecedented coronation.

This time, there were two new monarchs riding the carriage to the palace.

One was Emilia Finegard, daughter of the previous king.

The other former Baron Kyle Vermilion, who had married her shortly before the coronation.

Elf Harem Chapter 6: Confession and Showdown – Please Cum Inside Me!

“Claris, we need your recovery magic!”

“Right away.”

The rescue elf spoke up as soon as she entered the tent.

She sounded panicked, but the maid’s response was unnervingly calm.

The green-haired maid standing in the center of the tent shut her eyes and recited an incantation.

 

“Spirits, hear my call. My name is Claris, the one bound to you by contract.

“Spirits, gather here and grant me your power. My name is Claris, the one who wishes to seed her healing power.

“Spirits, Claris seeks your power, so please grant it!”

 

Elf Harem Chapter 5: Unleashed Sexuality – Threesome with the Sharp-Tongued Maid and the Princess

The nobles had gathered in a hall of Finegard’s royal palace.

This was not where the party had been held the other day. It was smaller and with a plainer interior. Long ago, before this had become the capital, the room had been used as a wartime strategy room.

The many nobles were seated around a long table.

A map with the capital in the center was laid out on the table.

Princess Emilia, Royal Knight Rosetta, and Kyle sat at the head of the table.

Kyle was here to relay the information he had received from the dark elf prisoner named Lielle

The other nobles made no attempt to hide the suspicion and envy in their gazes.

Kyle himself knew a lower noble like him had no business being here.

But the princess herself had requested his presence and the others had no room to complain when they had fled for their lives during the dark elf attack the other day.

(This has turned into a big deal.)

Elf Harem Chapter 4: Interrogation – The Dark Elf Likes It in the Ass

“Princess Emilia!”

“I’m fine! I could hold off a blast like that in my sleep!”

Emilia waved her staff and answered Kyle’s call.

She had created a lightning barrier to block the fifth magic attack. A powerful explosion erupted right next to the royal palace.

They were on the palace’s balcony.

Kyle, the maid named Claris, and the prime minister watched as Emilia created a cage of lightning around the entire palace.

Fireballs rained down on the castle town, but she perfectly defended against them all.

The dark elf surprise attack failed to even scratch Finegard’s royal palace.

A day had passed since Kyle boosted her magic.

Elf Harem Chapter 3: The Princess On Top – I Want You to Enjoy it Too❤

“I’m about to cum, Rosetta! Open your mouth wider and stick out your tongue.”

“Like this?

“Yes, perfect. Ah, I-I’m cumming! Kh.”

“Yes, finally Ahn There’s so much of it It’s all over my face And my hair will get all sticky too I’ll just have to swallow it instead Ahm❤❤ Nh, nh, nh❤❤❤

Kyle was standing with his back against the wall and Rosetta was kneeling in front of him with his cock in her mouth.

She only released it after sucking out every last drop of semen.

They were in a hallway of a detached section of the royal palace given to Kyle.

Technically, he was only using one of its rooms, but since the other rooms were vacant, it was effectively his house.

A few days had passed since they returned from the rescue operation.

Elf Harem Chapter 2: The Mouth is for Sex – A Knight’s Blowjob Orgasm

“Um, Rosetta?”

“Hmph.”

“Rosetta?”

“Hmph!”

It had been like this the entire way.

They were one day’s travel away from the royal capital. Except for when they stopped for the night, Kyle had been stuck in the same carriage as Rosetta, but they had not had an actual conversation the entire time.

He had already known this royal knight didn’t like him and this just confirmed it.

A few days had passed since Princess Emilia’s lightning magic repelled the dark elf army.

Kyle had indirectly saved the capital and the Finegard Kingdom as a whole by restoring Emilia’s magic, so now he found himself riding a carriage along a mountain road to rescue a certain fortress.

To discover how he ended up there, we must look back in time a bit.

 

Elf Harem Chapter 1: Crisis! Take the Princess’s Virginity…

A party was held in the palace’s gorgeous great hall.

The celebration was for the king’s birthday, but the sickly king had yet to make an appearance and the attending nobles were chatting pleasantly with each other.

“…”

Among them, Kyle drank from his glass all alone by the wall.

A backwater noble like him did not know anyone here well enough to strike up a conversation.

A look around showed no one else from such a simple background or who was left all alone.

While all of the kingdom’s nobles had been invited, the lesser ones had chosen not to attend to avoid exactly his predicament. He was the only one clueless enough to show up anyway.

(This is really awkward.)

Elf Harem Prologue: After Reincarnating as an Elf, I spent 910 Years Mastering my Sexual Recovery Magic


Oops, he thought when he was hit by the truck.

It was a dark and stormy night.

It was his own fault.

He had been in a rush to get home, so he ran out into the intersection without checking for traffic.

(Welp, I’m dead now.)

The last thing he pictured in his mind was not his parents, his friends, or his girlfriend. (Not that he had, or had ever had, a girlfriend.)

It was the new porn game he had under his jacket to keep it dry.

It was the long-awaited new title from his favorite developers.

It was titled “After Reincarnating, I Turned the Elf Palace into a Harem!”

As the title suggested, it was about reincarnating as an elf and winning over one heroine after another until you had a harem.

(Why did I have to die before I could play this?)

That was his very last thought before crashing down to the ground and dying before he could even feel the pain.

 

Tales of Harem 3: Epilogue

Deer Natalia,

How are yoo doing? We are doing wel.

We hav yoo to thank for reeching Lihanera safely.

But we ran into truble with pirates and succubi!

Yoo can ask this girl for details.

She is Limly.

I swear I wil return for her, so pleese look after her until then.

I look forward to seeing yoo agen.

-Naoki Okawa

 

Tales of Harem 3: Chapter 6 - The Slave Girl Offers Her Purity

Limly felt something cold dripping onto her arm.

It was starting to rain.

She had nowhere else to go in the port city’s back alleys and wasn’t sure what to do, so she ended up curling up next to an empty barrel left exposed to the elements.

Her wet clothing clung uncomfortably to her skin.

(I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.)

She repeated the same phrase as always in her mind.

But in a corner of her mind, she knew this wasn’t real.

She was dreaming. This was a memory.

So she knew who was about to appear from around the corner.

“You silly girl. What are you doing shivering out here after going to the trouble of escaping the ship?”

It was Almera.

Tales of Harem 3: Chapter 5 - Dream Tales of Harem

 My name is Oikawa Naoki.

I’m just a student who lives for nothing more than jerking off.

I must have fapped to some really good shit tonight because I’m having the best dream ever.

I’m living the harem life in this dream.

Girls with big brains and even bigger boobs keep showing up and asking to have sex.

Then I cum inside them all, just like they want me to.

I couldn’t have come up with a better life if I tried.

Of course none of this could ever actually happen, but when you’re dreaming you can ignore things don’t make sense or seem out of place.

Just now, my real thoughts are starting to reach the dream as I start to wake up in the morning, so to my disappointment, it’s finally hit me that this is just a wonderful illusion playing out in my head during the night.

You know the feeling: “Oh, that was just a dream. Maybe I should go back to sleep and stay there.”

Tales of Harem 3: Chapter 4 - Lover Contract with a Pirate!?

 The commercial city was busiest during the early morning.

That was thanks to all the merchants from nearby mountain and fishing villages setting up mats along the roadside to hawk their wares. They would sell out during the morning and head home in the afternoon.

You couldn’t truly claim to know Lihanera if you hadn’t seen its morning market.

“I’ve gotta admit, this is impressive.”

Naoki had been surprised by how many people were in the city during the day, but this was even more.

But given the early hour, they all seemed more relaxed.

The hawkers’ calls sounded almost gentle in the morning mist.

They were mostly selling fresh foods from the mountains and sea, so the smell had to be powerful indeed for a dog girl, yet Mila seemed unaffected while walking alongside Naoki.

“Sorry for having you join me, Mila.”

“I do not mind.”

Tales of Harem 3: Chapter 3 - Attack of the Succubus Sisters!

“Wow! This city’s incredible!”

Naoki was brimming with excitement among the hustle and bustle of all the shoppers and merchants on the street.

After a few days’ travel from Fus, they had arrived at their destination: Lihanera.

He had expected a lot after hearing it was a commerce city, but not this much!

The place was like a giant bazaar.

They had left their wagon at the city entrance and walked to their inn, but the main road and the alleys were all lined with street stalls and shops.

They were selling a wide variety of things and in great quantity.

One store had colorful clothing hanging in it. Another had piles of meat, fish, and spices in large baskets.

Street stalls sold delicious-looking skewered meat, fragrant fried foods, and bright sugar sculptures. There were shops selling fruits, jewelry, miscellaneous items, and even small animals like birds and monkeys. There was nothing you couldn’t buy here.

Merchants called out to prospective customers, customers loudly haggled over the price, and street performers added to the cacophony of noise.

Novel Introduction: Tales of Harem 3

Time to squeeze in a triple update right at the end of the year.


First up is the next Tales of Harem.


Tales of Harem 3: A Servant Contract with Succubi and a Lover Contract with a Pirate (異世界ハーレム物語3 ~淫魔と隷属契約、女海賊と愛人契約~)


Author: Kurona Yuu [黒名ユウ]
Original Manga/Illustrator: Tachibana Omina (Circle Shimapan) [立花オミナ (サークル しまぱん)]
Label: 2D Dream Bunko (二次元ドリーム文庫)
Release Date: 8/27/2021

Naoki and his party's journey continues as they arrive at a port town and try to buy passage on a ship, but there they encounter a pair of succubus sisters and a female pirate captain.
If you're curious, the succubus part is an adaptation of the manga and the pirate part is original to the novel.

Tales of Harem 3: Chapter 2 - Natalia’s Condition

After completing her morning preparations and stepping outside for a break, Natalia was greeted by a pleasant breeze.

She breathed in deep to enjoy the smell of the mountain foliage.

(The weather is especially nice today. It feels like a good omen.)

Her heart leapt at that premonition.

She was also greeted by someone waiting out in front of the inn.

But this was not an inn guest.

The village girl was scraping at the ground with a stick.

“Oh? What kind of game is that?”

When Natalia crouched next to her, the girl’s eyes lit up.

Tales of Harem 3: Chapter 1 - Fivesome at Camp! The Harem Life Continues While on the Run!?

 The poorly maintained wagon’s wheels creaked even on this flat road.

But once you were used to it, the familiar rhythm could help you drift off to sleep.

After nodding off in the back, Naoki was woken by the sound stopping.

“Why’d we stop? We taking a break?”

It seemed too soon for that.

They had stopped for lunch only about an hour ago.

“No, look at that,” answered the elf named Llusse.

She leaned forward into the driver’s area to point out at the road ahead.

There was a campsite there

They were surrounded by an open field and this campsite was just as empty. It was only identifiable as a campsite due to the wooden boxes and other items scattered around the remnants of campfires.

“Looks like a caravan was camped here,” concluded Tianne, the nun seated next to Naoki.

“We might find something useful, so let’s take a look around, Hero.”

Tales of Harem 3: Prologue

 


(I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it all.)

Limly curled up her small body in the darkness.

Shouting. Clashing metal. Explosions. Screams.

She covered her ears to keep all the disturbing noise from reaching her down here.

She pressed her hands tight against them, as if blocking it out would mean none of it was real.

(I can go back home if I do this.)

Back to the village. Back to that forest.

It Would Seem the Maiden Knights are Using Sexual Favors to Survive: Afterword

 I don’t often go to idol concerts, but I did used to work on a stage production.

Not on the stage, but backstage. I did the sound, the lights, and even operated the spotlight. I wanted to include a scene about PGS3 meeting with the backstage workers for their concerts, but I had to cut it since the novel was getting too long.

But whether it’s an idol concert or whatever else, you can’t have a stage production with just the stars up on the stage. Idols would be nothing without the backstage people preparing the stage for them and making sure they shine while up there.

And of course, the backstage people can only work so hard because of all the passionate fans supporting the idol.

Not that idols normally give sexual favors.

And yeah, this went well beyond what you could reasonably call “favors”. But those girls aren’t the type to care about those little details and it’s best not to think too much about the darker side of the industry.

It Would Seem the Maiden Knights are Using Sexual Favors to Survive: Chapter 6 - The World at Risk! The Pegasus Knights Destroyed!?

After avoiding a clash with the bordering kingdoms, PGS3’s popularity wasn’t just on the rise – it was exploding.

The factory city of Crayano had finally gotten a video and audio disk mass-production system up and running and orders were coming in from all over. The industry and finance ministers said that was fast becoming one of the kingdom’s primary industries, so PGS3 would soon be crucial to the Holy Pegasus Kingdom’s survival.

But the three knight girls were still troubled by their unanswered question.

“Like I said! We want you to release the data on the monster sightings!”

“Calm down, Misaka. We have yet to fully compile that data.”

The black-haired girl bit her lip when she saw the sullen look on the royal guard captain’s face.

It Would Seem the Maiden Knights are Using Sexual Favors to Survive: Chapter 5 - They’re Really Gonna Do It Five Seconds From Now!?

One day, Tifa and the other knights were summoned by the foreign affairs minister and Royal Guard Commander Nebelstan.

They were there officially as the Pegasus Knights and not as the idol group PGS3. They had to wonder why they were being summoned beyond their ordinary duties, so they were nervous as they appeared before the plump middle-aged man and the muscular man.

“Um, why did you summon us here today?”

“Well, the thing is…some disturbing rumors are coming in from the border region. Some merchant caravans were attacked by monsters.”

“Monsters!?”

It Would Seem the Maiden Knights are Using Sexual Favors to Survive: Chapter 4 - Who Will be the Center!? A Rocky Popularity Poll

A miracle occurred on that day.

The three Pegasus Knights who acted as the symbol of the Holy Pegasus Kingdom had their idol debut at a concert held in the Royal Arts Theatre’s great hall.

“Will the people really turn up for a concert by some amateur girls?”

A lot of skepticism was flying around, but those fears proved to be unfounded.

The tickets ran out almost as soon as they were available and people rushed to fill the standing room that did not require a ticket. Since the concert was not strictly part of their duties, entrance was free and the money for the venue, the equipment, and the staff had to be made through sales of video and audio disks.

“Thank you all so much for coming to see our first concert!”

It Would Seem the Maiden Knights are Using Sexual Favors to Survive: Chapter 3 - The Knights’ Idol Debut!?

Three girls moved their arms and legs in time with a rhythmical clap, clap, clap, clap of hands to perform beautiful dance steps.

“1, 2, 3, 4 – stay together now! Step 1, 2, and spin…and your finishing pose!”

With one final loud clap, the Pegasus Knights struck identical poses.

They had traded their usual knight uniforms for shirts and athletic shorts designed for ease of movement. Instead of the knight station, they were in a practice room commonly used by the Royal Opera Company for lessons.

Marion had used his connection to the opera company to get them access. For a week now, the three knights had been taking strict dance lessons from a sketchy-looking man with an afro and sunglasses.

“Hmm.”

Their dancing was far and above a beginner level, but the afro man still crossed his arms and tilted his head to show he wasn’t satisfied.

“Mr. Gellus, are we still doing something wrong?”

It Would Seem the Maiden Knights are Using Sexual Favors to Survive: Chapter 2 - The Key to Success is Sexual Favors!!

The brown-haired girl’s face visibly clouded over when she saw the monthly payment to the knights from the royal bank. Just as the finance minister had warned, the funding for the Pegasus Knights’ official duties had been cut.

“Wahhh, there’s so much less!”

“A drop of about 20%. We have you to thank for this, don’t we, Tifa?”

Black-haired Misaka’s comment put a bold smile on Tifa’s face, but Charl looked confused. After all, the finance minister had told them it would be a 40% cut.

Needless to say, Charl simply did not remember such details.

“We have also been given permission to use the storeroom next door as part of our station. Charl, move your personal things there.”

“Okayyy!”

Seeing her blonde friend happily giving the younger girl that instruction, Misaka could not deny the effectiveness of Tifa’s “sexual favors”.

(Although based on her story, she really only took advantage of the minister’s carelessness.)

It Would Seem the Maiden Knights are Using Sexual Favors to Survive: Chapter 1 - The Traditional Pegasus Knights are No Longer Wanted!?

 “What is the meaning of this, finance minister!?”

Holy Pegasus Kingdom Finance Minister Blumberg grimaced and sighed at Tifa’s anger.

“What is the meaning of what, Tifa T. Canesman?”
His glaring eyes subconsciously stopped on her large chest.

Tifa herself might not be trying to draw the man’s eyes, but her well-grown breasts and model-like proportions did it for her. But she was too angry to notice the finance minister’s sexual harassing gaze.

“The Pegasus Knights are a long-held tradition and the symbol of our kingdom! How can you shove us into a cramped closet!?”

“Tifa T. Canesman?”

“Y-yes?”

“What other activities do your traditional knights have planned for this fiscal year?”

His rebuttal silenced her, but the talented black ponytail girl answered for her.

“We just finished the founding day parade the other day, so that leaves the royal banquet and the garden party with foreign dignitaries.”

It Would Seem the Maiden Knights are Using Sexual Favors to Survive: Prologue



The girl had waited so long for this day.

A bustling marketplace was open in the city and foreign merchants were selling and buying rare folk crafts and fruits. But the girl was most looking forward to the parade.

“Hurry up, grampa, or we’ll miss the parade.”

“Yes, I know, I know.”

She dragged her grandfather along to watch the parade from the spot she had had her eye on for a while. The parade commemorated the founding of the Holy Pegasus Kingdom and many visitors from other nearby kingdoms were invited in, but the people were most interested in the appearance of the knights.

“Oh, there they are!”

“It’s the Pegasus Knights!”

Novel Introduction: Thunderclaps 2

 Thunderclaps 2 – Sky and Shadow (サンダークラップス2 スカイ&シャドウ)


Author: Hazawa Kouichi (羽沢向一)
Illustrator: Senbata Rou(せんばた楼)
Label: 2D Dream Novels (二次元ドリームノベルズ)
Release Date: 5/17/2001

Despite the Thunderclaps title, this sequel barely features them and focuses on the origin story and early activities of a superhero named Snow Wing instead. This is all to set things up for the Thunderclaps' role in Vol. 3, so it does get back to them eventually.

Content warning: Like the first one, this novel contains sexual assault.

Thunderclaps 2: Afterword

Welcome to the Offbeat Universe!

I’ve done it again. This is thanks to all of you who love the adventures and sexuality of superheroines. I was delighted by the unexpectedly strong response from comics fans.

What’s that? It’s called Thunderclaps 2 but the heroine is a flying announcer called Snow Wing instead of Flare and the others? And the story isn’t even over at the end of the book? Yes, the story will continue in Part 2, tentatively titled Dark Arena. Look forward to it.

We ended up having to change illustrators to Senbata Rou-sensei for this one, but swapping out artists just makes it more like an American comic, right? Miki ended up more lyrical than I had imagined in my head, so look forward to seeing more of her on that sexual stage.

I am working hard to become the Kurt Busiek, Grant Morrison, or John Ostrander of erotic novels, so I hope you will read Thunderclaps 3 as well. Hm, maybe I should have used names my Japanese readers might actually recognize.

 

April 2001, at the restaurant in the Peace TV building. -Hazawa Kouichi

Thunderclaps 2: Chapter 7 - Immoral Contest of Champions

“We will never give up the fight, even if our enemy is the will of the universe itself.”

(1968, Captain Sky’s announcement broadcast from Tokyo Tower)

Said shortly before the showdown against the Space Enforcers who had constructed an asteroid guidance device on Tokyo Tower

 

Square spaces opened in the stage’s floor. Four this time. Figures wearing four different colors emerged, surrounding the four heroes gathered in the center.

The four newcomers all wore cloaks that obscured their bodies. Each cloak was a different color: black, white, red, and blue. The hoods were pulled deep over the face to hide them from view.

Once they had fully risen onto the stage, the Forbidden Four simultaneously pushed a right hand out from their cloak and reached toward the heroes. They each wore a bracelet which had a metal key and a plate bearing one of the heroes’ names attached.

“Now, use the key with your name on it to unlock your collar. If you unlock all four, the brat’s execution will be canceled. Will you acquire the key by defeating your opponent and taking it? Or will you satisfy them with your body and convince them to hand it over? Now, this is a special match, so no additional handicaps will be placed on the superheroes.”

Milk Crown raised his right hand high and then swung it down.

“Fight!” 


Thunderclaps 2: Chapter 6 - Abnormals Assemble

“Behold this polluted ocean! You surface people are now an enemy of my kingdom.”

(1967, declaration of war sent to the Japanese government by Lord Abyss of the Undersea Kingdom)

To avoid war, a battle was fought between seven of the Undersea Kingdom’s warriors and a team of superheroes

 

“Miki-san, I won’t ask that you forgive us.”

“But we had no choice.”

The two Justice Circus women wore their superhero costumes just like Miki did.

Madam Scroll wore a dark purple evening dress which did not look conducive to combat. The low-cut chest and deep slits gave her a mystical beauty befitting one of Japan’s leading sorceresses as well as a sexiness befitting the Dark Arena.

Silver Bullet wore a shining silver bodysuit with a black lightning bolt running across it. The skintight fit showed off the curves of her athletic body, but that only inspired lust while in this indecent space. The talisman rings around her neck, arms, and thighs only enhanced her sexiness.

“We have been forced to participate in the Dark Arena for a while now. But Storyteller told us we cannot let anyone outside of the Dark Arena learn of its existence.”

“If anyone does sniff out its secrets, we were ordered to immediately capture them. You should know now that there is no disobeying Storyteller. But neither of us has given up. We will break free.”

Thunderclaps 2: Chapter 5 - Operation Erotic Storm

“We thank the entire world and the cosmic rays which gave us our powers.”

(1966, written on the gifts handed out at the wedding of Miss Fascinate and Integral Man, said to be the marriage of the century)

 

“Villains and rogues! Welcome again to the Dark Arena!”

A male voice was answered by thunderous laughter.

(Oh, the audience is loving it. Iyama-san is killing it today.)

Miki pictured the host of the public variety show she had worked on as an assistant after becoming Snow Wing. She imagined the bright lights, the gawdy set, and the young entertainers they had on as regulars.

(Wait!)

It suddenly hit her that the show was starting, but she was not in the studio. She was somewhere dark, but not a dressing room or behind the set.

(Oh, no. The director is going to let me have it!)

“Sorry I’m late.”

She opened her eyes, bringing the audience into view. Something wasn’t right.

Thunderclaps 2: Chapter 4 - X-Rated Agenda

“A mysterious metal woman rescued Hoshiyama Industry’s president from the terrorist group.”

(1965, from Sun Sports News)

The armored hero Comet Hawk was later revealed to be the president’s wife, Hoshiyama Azusa.

 

“Ozora Miki, move out.”

An announcement rang through the announcer division. The voice belonged to Sakuma Masateru, well-known as a skilled producer at Peace TV.

A key station like Peace TV had a lot of employees, but the only one told to “move out” was Ozora Miki.

Miki had just been returning from the break room with tea for the more experienced announcers. She looked over to see another new announcer, Matsuya Naoko, reaching out and taking the tray from her.

“Sakuma-san is calling for you, so go get changed already.”

Miki bowed apologetically.

“Sorry, Naoko. You always get stuck serving the tea.”

“I don’t mind, really. I mean, you’re keeping us all safe. And you still get paid the same as a newcomer like me even though you’re getting better ratings than anyone else.”

Thunderclaps 2: Chapter 3 - Announcer’s Return

“At this school, I hope to teach you that your great power comes with great responsibility.”

(1964, from Headmaster Kusui Shirou’s speech at Tenyo Academy’s opening ceremony)

That was Japan’s first school for Offbeat children and it produced many superheroes.

 

In Mito, Ibaraki, Miki was curled up with her back against the steel beam on the inside of a 3D sign on a building rooftop.

After losing control in Shibuya, she had flown off at a ludicrous speed, crashed into this building’s sign, and finally managed to calm down. She had landed inside the sign so no one could see her.

That was when Captain Sky woke up.

He used his wristwatch communicator to let his Justice Circus teammates know he was safe. It was hard to believe he had been unconscious just a moment before. He felt as reliable as ever, so Miki was convinced she would be fine and everything would work out okay as long as she was with him. He had been working as a superhero since before she was born and she had seen his heroics on TV since before she could speak.

“I am so sorry for getting you caught up in this mess.”

That living legend of Japan’s heroes spoke with an upbeat and manly voice that was also thoughtful and pleasant to listen to. She could not help but be drawn in.

Thunderclaps 2: Chapter 2 - Announcer Reborn

“Offbeats? Superheroes? They get no praise from me. Nothing but attention-seeking troublemakers, and hypocrites to boot.)

(1962, from an editorial by the Daily Central’s editor-in-chief)

 

“Kya ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!”

The naked boy called Barnstorm surrounded himself in a mini-tornado and flew spiraling between the buildings. He shrieked with laughter with typhoon-level winds blowing below him, dragging everything into the sky. More and more of the fleeing people were slammed against the building walls or the asphalt.

“Burn, burn, burrrrn! Leave nothing but ashes behind!!”

Crimson flames erupted from Rapid Fire’s naked body while he stood atop a streetlight. Innumerable fireballs followed, raining down on the people’s heads.

Many men and women were enveloped in flames just like Rapid Fire himself, but for everyone but him, that was a one-way ticket to hell.

Water Wraith said nothing. The naked woman’s mouth instead released more water than could possibly fit in a human body.

The narrow stream of water rushed straight out to tear through the building walls and sweep across the crowds with fearsome pressure.

When Miki saw the tragedies unfolding in Shibuya, she forgot all about her own situation and confronted Stonemason about it.

“How can you do this!? It’s unconscionable!”

The leader of Natural Law’s cold face was unmoved.

“This is a reasonable punishment given their sins.”
“Sins!? What sins have these people committed!?”

“The sin of living within a manmade city. The sin of wearing manmade clothing.”

“That’s absurd.”

“Hold your tongue. You are only allowed to live to convey our message to the world.”

Thunderclaps 2: Chapter 1 - Facts of Vengeance


“Hey there, Captain. You really do belong in the sky, you know that?”

(From History of the Justice Circus Ch. 1 by Kashima Kengo, Published in 1980)

1962, Super Offbeat’s first words to the first superhuman he met in Japan while visiting to protect human right’s activist Aaron

 

Someone was speaking somewhere.

“My name is Storyteller. My job is to tell your story. Now, let us begin.”

A beautiful woman’s body trembled in a dark room.

Long, delicate fingers touched her breasts and rubbed at her skin.

“Your body is a terribly sexual thing.”

A tremor ran through her breasts.

“Your body constantly desires sexual pleasure, even in defiance of your own will.”

The fingertips moved up to her throat. She gulped and a sigh of anguish escaped her lips.

“No matter how much your mind resists, your body will throb in its desire for pleasure and drive you mad in its longing for orgasm.”

The fingertips moved to her lower stomach and her hips moved back and forth all on their own.

“Speak your name.”

“…Lily.”

Harem Series Timeline

The Harem Series has an official timeline using a calendar known as the Hermit Tree Calendar (HTC). Here you will find that timeline for all of the Harem novels I have translated.

Year(HTC)         Novel
1023         Harem Dynast
1023         Harem Engagement
1030         A Queen Disgraced
1031         Harem Pirates
1032         Harem Castle

1044                Harem Wizard Academy



Note:
This calendar is not introduced until later in the series, but the placement of the early novels is known thanks to a guidebook that provided a timeline of all the novels out at the time. The guidebook (bizarrely) labeled the years using King Lorent's age since the author hadn't invented the calendar yet, but the conversion is simple enough since the HTC turns out to be Lorent's age + 1000.

Harem Pirates 2: Chapter 6 - Collusion

“I see. So Admiral Dartanis is dead.”

With the ghost ship hunt complete, Ricardo returned to the sea near Brakia before heading home. Governor-General Vanessa immediately boarded his ship via a tugboat.

They had avoided the port just in case Carlotta tried to retaliate for their sinking of the Soaring Spirit.

Ricardo met Vanessa in his cabin with Evaline and Rose by his side. He gave her a report on the sinking of the Soaring Spirit.

She gave a quick silent prayer after she heard him out.

She understandably felt differently about her own kingdom’s admiral and sailors being slaughtered as pirates.

Ricardo felt no sympathy for the crew of the Soaring Spirit, but kept a quiet expression out of respect for Vanessa’s feelings.

Harem Pirates 2: Chapter 5 - Daughter of the Divine Sea Dragon

“I don’t believe it.”

After Vanessa revealed the ghost ship was actually a Carlotta warship called the Soaring Spirit, Ricardo immediately contacted Evaline and held a strategy meeting.

They gathered in the King of Pirates’ meeting room while anchored near the Ocean City of Brakia. Ricardo, First Mate Marshel, and Guest Advisor Rose represented Etruria. Evaline, First Mate Bonnet, and Evaline’s wet nurse Amanda represented Laurance.

The first thing out of Evaline’s mouth was a rejection of the idea.

“And why is that?” asked Ricardo, feeling miffed. He was known as quite a gentleman for his young age, but he tended to get emotional with this girl and he had an edge to his voice when he replied here.

Despite her fiancé’s scorn, Evaline lifted her shapely chin and looked down on him with a cold smile.

“Carlotta is one of the primary kingdoms along the Jade Sea’s coast. This is not something an entire kingdom would do. No matter how much trouble they’ve had recently, that plan falls apart the instant their allies start to suspect them.”

Harem Pirates 2: Chapter 4 - Trap

“Hee hee. What a naughty boy. You’re supposed to be working on an important mission, but here you are visiting me just because you’re horny?

The King of Pirates was anchored near the Ocean City of Brakia and word had been sent in secret that its captain wanted to meet with Vanessa, so she had quickly arrived aboard a tugboat.

Once she was invited into Ricardo’s cabin, she immediately embraced him with monocle gleaming, kissed him greedily, and then pulled him over into bed. She removed her own uniform.

She clearly knew that trysts like this were always short on time. She was a very understanding woman – or maybe just a horny one. The result was the same.

“Should I not have asked?”

“Maybe not, but I’m so glad you did. I was dying back there without your cock to comfort me.”

Novel Introduction: Harem Pirates 2

 Harem Pirates 2 (ハーレムパイレーツ2)

Author: Takeuchi Ken (竹内けん)
Illustrator: Fugetsu Taku (浮月たく)
Label: 2D Dream Bunko (二次元ドリーム文庫)
Release Date: 11/22/2007


The first direct sequel in the Harem Series. The story returns to Prince Ricardo two years later. He now has a ship of his own and his first mission is to hunt down a "ghost ship" with the help of his childhood friend and fiancee.

Harem Pirates 2: Chapter 3 - Where’s the Ghost Ship?

“We missed it again and it’s your fault!”

After bringing her ship in so close they nearly collided, Evaline hopped over onto the King of Pirates, raced like the wind through the ship, and burst through the door to the captain’s cabin so forcefully you would think she had kicked it down.

The instant she saw Ricardo staring at the map unfurled on the work desk, she held her beloved axe out in front of his nose and spat a complaint.

Overwhelmed by her intensity, he reflexively raised both hands in surrender.

Amanda stood behind the raging bull of a girl, giving the boy an apologetic look.

Ricardo was accompanied by Guest Advisor Rose and his aide Marion.

Marion was well known for her impulsiveness, to the point of being nicknamed the Kamikaze Commander, so her anger flared up and she shouted back.

“Hey, watch how you steer your ship! You nearly crashed into us!”

Evaline’s ship had a ram on the front, so a collision would have been catastrophic. It could sink even a large ship.

“Shut up! I have no time for underlings!”

Harem Pirates 2: Chapter 2 - Ocean City of Brakia

“It is evident that the ghost ship is either a Double Kingdom ship or a pirate ship.”

After landing at the Carlotta Kingdom’s Ocean City of Brakia, Ricardo and Evaline were led to the Governor-General’s residence by Governor-General Vanessa. There, they held a meeting with Dartanis, captain of the Soaring Spirit high-speed warship and Carlotta’s most well-known naval commander.

Carlotta provided all the information they had, but that was not much and little of it was new. Ricardo tried to hide his disappointment as he started back to his ship. But he did not make it far before Vanessa said she would be holding a small dinner party to apologize.

He was not obligated to accept the invitation, but since refusing would have been rude, Ricardo’s 200 sailors and Evaline’s 100 joined them on land.

To host so many people, they had a standing cookout in the Governor-General’s residence’s garden, with a view of the sunset.

(Whatever that ghost ship is might be out there slaughtering innocent people and sinking their ships right now.)

Harem Pirates 2: Chapter 1 - Maiden Voyage

 


“This is my ship.”

Ricardo stood at the naval port looking up at the brand new vessel moored there. A tremor of emotion ran through him.

The Etruria Kingdom’s navy consisted of more than 100 ships of varying size, but only 7 seafaring ships with 3 or more large masts. This one was the result of all the latest shipbuilding techniques.

“It’s so big, but also so elegant and graceful.”

When Ricardo had stopped by the Ministry of the Navy that morning, his guardian, Admiral Sigrain, had let him know he was now captain of this ship.

It had only been two years since he first set sail on a ship, so there was of course a reason other than merit for his selection as captain. He was a child of Etruria King Sigismund and Queen Eterna, making him a Prince of Etruria.

He was, however, the fourth and youngest prince, so he would never become king. Knowing that, he had chosen to dedicate himself to the navy even if it meant stepping down as a royal.

Novel Introduction: Tales of Harem 2

Tales of Harem 2: A Fancy Foursome! Eightsome! Twelvesome! With Royal Palace Girls! (異世界ハーレム物語2 ~王宮美女たちと豪華4P8P12P!~)


Author: Kurona Yuu [黒名ユウ]
Original Manga/Illustrator: Tachibana Omina (Circle Shimapan) [立花オミナ (サークル しまぱん)]
Label: 2D Dream Bunko (二次元ドリーム文庫)
Release Date: 8/28/2020

As part 2 of the manga's novelization, this one covers Naoki's time in the royal palace getting to know the queen, the princess, the knights, some nuns, and some noblewomen. This is currently the most recent volume in the series.

Tales of Harem 2: Epilogue

While Naoki’s party was getting as far away from the capital as they could, Leonora kneeled and bowed her head before the queen’s throne in the castle’s audience chamber.

“Whatever my reasons, I never should have disobeyed my queen. I will not attempt to defend my actions, so please tell me my punishment.”

Her formal apology and her solemn expression hinted at her determination.

But Sophie smiled as she responded.

“Why would I ever punish someone for doing the right thing, Leonora?”

“…!?”

“I have long thought you should think for yourself more often. Yes, ever since you became a royal knight ten years ago.”

“R-really?”

Tales of Harem 2: Chapter 6 - Escape the Royal Palace! Sweet Makeup Sex?

“Mila…Mila!!”

“Ah!?”

Mila was dragged back from her dream world.

She had been seated in front of the door, waiting for Naoki with her arms around her knees, but she had fallen asleep at some point.

“My apolog- Hero!?”

When she saw a penis swaying before her eyes, she realized Naoki was naked.

“Where are your clothes!?”

“I’ll explain later! We’re leaving!”

“Leaving!? You mean from the castle? Why now?”

“We need to get out of here! So just get going, Mila!”

Naoki held his clothes under his arm.

She had no idea what had happened, but the situation was apparently so pressing he did not have a chance to put those on.

Tales of Harem 2: Chapter 5 - A Fancy Foursome with the Royal Mother and Daughter!

“Man, this place is great. All the sex I could want and the best food I’ve ever had.”

Naoki was deeply satisfied as he returned to his bedroom with Mila.

After his bath, he had changed into a robe and had beautiful women feed him.

“They treat me like I’m a king!”

“But…the princess worries me. She still hasn’t made plans for us to leave.”

Mila was not as optimistic as Naoki.

“You have a point.”

Marie had not been at dinner just now.

She normally sat right next to him and peppered him with questions at meals.

“Well, she’s a confusing girl, but she seems harmless to me.”

“I hope you’re right…”

Tales of Harem 2: Chapter 4 - Bathing in Lust!? Twelvesome with the Saint!

A few days had passed since Naoki’s visit to Filia’s house and he had spent the intervening time in the royal palace enjoying sex, sex, and more sex.

But today, he planned to venture out of the palace once more.

Marie had asked him to meet with an important church figure.

So that morning, he made his way there.

“Good to see you again, Hero! How is life in the castle?”

“Oh, Tianne! It feels like forever since I last saw you.”

“It really does,” sighed the nun.

“I really wish I knew when we’ll be leaving.”

“I wish I did too. Oh, but that might be why you’re here.”

“Eh? Oh, I get it! I was only told they were an important church figure, but is it that woman?”

“Yes. Abbatissa Ekaterina wanted to see you.”

Tales of Harem 2: Chapter 3 - Sisterly Threesome with a Noble Girl and a Countess!

“Damn, this is even more powerful than I imagined.”

“I-is it?”

Naoki sat on the bed and Mila fidgeted in front of him.

She was wearing a purple super-micro bikini.

The tiny triangles of cloth barely covered anything past her nipples.

The front strap was fully floating in the empty space between her boobs and the bows on the bottom’s side straps hang cutely down on her hips.

It was fantastic. Truly fantastic.

The ribbon tie around her neck confirmed that this was a maid bikini costume and not just a bikini, so it was unassailable from a fetishism point of view.

Tales of Harem 2: Chapter 2 - Creampie Eightsome with the Knights!

“This room is pretty nice!”

Naoki was shown to a room so large he had a hard time imagining himself living there.

The size was understandable since it was meant for honored guests, but still.

Plus, all the buildings and roads were so large the kingdom may have just built everything that way.

The room’s decorations were gorgeous but restrained, the bed was canopied but not too ostentatious, and the canopy’s curtain was a plain thin silk. It was all very tasteful.

“You will be using this room during your stay,” said Mila after guiding him there. “I will be in the room across the hall if you need anything.”

“Now this is what I call luxury.”

Tales of Harem 2: Chapter 1 - An Audience with the Queen and a View of her Hot Body!?

 The castle gate had looked big from a distance, but it looked like it would reach the clouds from close up.

Naoki stood up in the wagon and celebrated like someone who had never seen a big city before.

“Wowwww! Now that is impressive! It’s so cool!”

“Hey, calm down, you stupid Hero! You have an audience with the queen, so stop acting like a dumb hick.”

Llusse the Elf gave him a cold look without getting up, but he could not help but feel excited after seeing such a fantasy sight.

And his eyes were drawn by more than just the buildings.

The road leading from the castle wall to the palace itself was filled with chamberlains and soldiers.

Filia had told him before that all this kingdom’s soldiers were women.

Sure enough, everyone wearing a sword and dressed like a warrior appeared to be a woman and a lovely one at that.

The occasional person dressed in bright clothing may have been major civil officials or nobles.

His eyes darted every which way because it was all so new to him.

Tales of Harem 2: Prologue

 


(Isn’t that a rare flower that only grows in one rural area? How strange.)

Sophie tilted her head in minor puzzlement.

Some white flowers had been placed on the altar in offering.

The gold speckles on the petals shined beautifully in the light of the candles meant to honor the dead in the dimly-lit mausoleum, giving them a pure elegance.

But those were not the usual flowers left in remembrance of the dead, so what were they doing here?

Ekaterina, who had left the flowers, continued to pray in silence.

She was the Saint of this kingdom of Lesdea.

The Saint was a special figure in Lesdea. It referred to a seer who could see into the future.

Magical Princess Makina 2: Bonus Chapter - A Hot Day with the Highness Family

In the Britannican capital of Londomern, the Highness family home was located in the residential district northwest of the royal palace.

Its white walls and large garden hinted at wealth and Zeke awoke to the morning sun shining through a crack in the curtains.

“Ugh…”

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched, but he did not immediately get up.

He had followed a strict routine when living in the school dorm, but now it was summer break. He had no teachers or roommates who would be upset if he went back to sleep.

“And I don’t have Keith hassling me first thing in the morning. I can take it easy.”

Magical Princess Makina 2: Another End 10B - The Cool Beauty Sister as a Dom Teacher

“Huh? Hey, Makina. Do you know where Nash is?”

A girl from another class, who was known for her good looks (but not as much as Makina or Erica), poked her head into Makina’s classroom to ask after Nash.

With her long pink hair and beautiful face, she was popular with the boys and a lot of them dreamed of dating her, so it came as a shock to the boys in the class that she too had a relationship with Nash.

“Eh? S-sorry, but I don’t know either.”

Makina also had a relationship with Nash, so she was honestly a little shaken as well.

There was a part of her that wanted to hide where he was so she could have him all to herself, but she had been searching for him as well.

“Where has he gotten off to?”
