Pitiful Young Master in a Reversed World

Chapter 7

I hesitated for a moment in front of my third sister, Zenia Cartio's room.

Is it really okay to go in here?

Actually, I can hear something like moaning from inside the room.

And it's a man's moaning, at that.

Just from the sounds, it feels like my sister is doing something to a man......

"Haa......"

I sighed deeply and knocked loudly on the door.

"Sis! I'm here!"

-Eek!

-Wait a sec...... Come in now.

Hearing my sister's voice, I swung the door wide open.

The moment I opened it, a piercing smell hit my nose, making me freeze.

The raw scent of a man and a woman mixed together was enough to make me feel disgusted.

Good grief,

It's bad enough with just one, but the two smells combined?

I frowned.

And then, what I saw was, hmm... how should I put this.

A beastman man shivering, wrapped tightly in a blanket,

And a woman greeting me wearing only some rough underwear.

For a moment, I almost stepped inside without thinking, but then stopped.

Having lived twenty years in this world, I was more terrified of myself for not finding this scene all that strange.

"What's wrong?"

"Put some clothes on. I feel like my eyes are gonna get dirty."

"We're family, so what's the big deal?"

Since she stubbornly refused to get dressed, I just sighed and closed the door again.

-Ah, fine! Hold on! I'm dressed now!

Zenia's voice came from beyond the door.

I opened it again.

My face twisted when I saw her outfit.

"You call that dressed?"

No wonder she got dressed so quickly.

She just threw on a cloak and thought that counted as clothes.

If it were a stranger woman, I'd probably be grinning from ear to ear,

But unfortunately, since it was family I'd known for twenty years, it just made me want to puke.

Despite my disgusted reaction, Zenia just laughed and spoke.

"Anyway, come in."

As I stepped inside, the smell got even worse.

Maybe because she hadn't ventilated at all, the stench was so overpowering it made my head spin.

I stopped right at the entrance.

"Why'd you stop there?"

"Because the smell's too much, I can't go any further."

Zenia sniffed the air and shrugged like she couldn't smell anything at all.

"What smell?"

"Are your nostrils dead? The whole room reeks of semen and love juices, how can you not notice?"

"Well, duh, I do men every day, so of course I don't notice anymore."

I let out a hollow laugh at her words.

"Is there anything you won't say in front of your little brother? And who's that guy? Never seen him before."

It's not like I memorized all my sisters' toy lists, but I definitely hadn't even glimpsed that guy around before.

The fact he had cat ears on his head wasn't all that surprising.

There are beastmen in this world, after all.

And pretty common ones, too.

If you want to get one, you can easily find one.

Plus, this mansion belongs to a crime boss family whose main business is human trafficking.

Sometimes I wondered if this place was actually a zoo.

A zoo where humans with animal ears and tails are kept as toys.

"Little bro, you might not know, but men are weak, so you have to replace them often. Their libido's weaker than women's, and their bodies are fragile too......"

"So where did the previous guy go?"

"Didn't you hear me? Men are fragile."

"So... you disposed of him?"

At my thorny tone, Zenia gave a wry smile and waved her hands.

"It's not that bad, he's just... under treatment now. Though honestly, he doesn't seem much different."

I decided not to care about Zenia's situation any further.

No matter how many toys my third sister swapped out, she still didn't hold a candle to my second sister's claws.

My second sister was on the level of a truly lust-crazed monster, far beyond what a weak guy like me could handle.

Thankfully, maybe because we're family, she hadn't touched me yet, but lately the way she looked at me was getting suspicious, so I stayed on guard.

Actually, this morning during breakfast, she was the one who said she'd gift me my first toy.

Compared to her, the third sister was practically an angel.

Though to her toys, she was probably no different from a demon.

"So, why did you call me here?"

"Ah, right. You got a toy now too, didn't you?"

"It's not a toy..."

"Really? Then can I have some fun with it?"

I frowned and glared at Zenia.

"Are you a lesbian or something?"

Zenia made a disgusted face.

"Don't say gross stuff like that. Lesbians are fucking nasty. Those slug things or whatever. Ugh, makes me want to puke."

'Hmm.'

The yuri novels proudly displayed in the center of my bookshelf back in my room-if those got discovered, the mansion might get a bit noisy.

'Better hide all of those as soon as I get back.'

And every other genre of novel too, just in case.

You never know, Beya might come into my room.

I should take precautions before I get embarrassed for no reason.

"Hmm, is that so......"

"I'm telling you, I want to puke just looking at those kinds of girls. Maybe someone like Hamila would defend lesbians? Nah, that bitch probably even tried fucking beasts. Truly disgusting."

The Hamila she was cursing was my second sister.

Hamila Cartio.

Honestly, I couldn't really argue with her on that point.

Suddenly, I got curious.

If she hates yuri that much, does she also hate BL?

"Then what about BL?"

"BL? That's great. Two guys doing a train-how hot is that?"

What the hell did I just hear?

The shock hit me so hard my jaw wouldn't close.

"Fuck."

"What was that?"

Crap, I was so shocked I swore out loud.

"Just get to the point already. I need to go wash out my ears."

Hearing me, Zenia protested in a hurt tone.

"I was about to, but Louis, you interrupted. Anyway, you got a toy now too, right?"

"It's not a toy... fine, let's say it is. So what?"

"I'll show you how to handle a toy."

Zenia waved her hand around.

I suppressed a hollow laugh and pointed at the door behind me.

"Can I leave?"

"No, you really need to hear this. Sit down first."

I sat across from Zenia, who was seated in the chair.

And then I stood back up.

"Louis?"

This smell, I just couldn't stand it.

I opened the window to ventilate.

As if it had been waiting for me to open the window, a cool breeze rushed in and caressed my face.

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, I finally felt like I could breathe again.

I sat back down, leaned against the backrest, crossed my arms, and spoke.

"Go ahead."

"...Fine."

Zenia nodded reluctantly and began to speak.

"First, just to make this clear, you know women are stronger than men, right?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

That's a universal truth in this world.

"The toy Mother brought is a woman, but you're a man, right?"

"That's right."

"I don't know how many sealing cuffs that woman is wearing,

but for now, since she seems weaker than you, there's no need to worry. Just remember this one thing: women have two brains."

Right. This is a world where the gender roles are reversed.

Just like men in my previous life, women here must be the same.

I let out a low hum.

Seeing me like that, Zenia sighed and continued.

"Honestly, I wish my cute little Louis didn't have any toys at all...but since Mother already gifted her, there's nothing I can do."

I could fully understand my sister's feelings.

If Mother hadn't kidnapped Beya in the first place, I wouldn't be troubled like this right now.

"So that's all you wanted to say? Be careful with women?"

"What else is there? You've seen how we do it. You know how to handle toys, don't you?"

"I suppose so."

I mean, it's impossible not to notice when they drag toys down the hallway.

Living cooped up in this mansion, you end up seeing all sorts of things, whether you want to or not.

Honestly, witnessing those scenes was what really fueled my desire to escape this mansion.

Especially on days when I saw men who were perfectly fine yesterday suddenly missing an arm or a leg.

To them, toys really are just 'toys.'

Yeah, this place just needs to disappear as soon as possible.

Whether it's annihilation, extinction, or complete obliteration.

First of all, my second sister needs to die as soon as possible.

That woman isn't even human.

The number of men sacrificed to that devilish woman must be in the hundreds.

"So, you're telling me to cut off Beya's arms and legs?"

At my words, Zenia looked flustered, then burst out with a hollow laugh.

"Even I'm not into that. I believe true beauty lies in an unblemished body."

"Well, I think most people would agree with that......"

A few seconds of silence passed between Zenia, me, and the cat beastman wrapped in a blanket.

I stood up from the chair.

Since there didn't seem to be anything more to discuss, I just wanted to go back to Beya.

"Leaving?"

"Yeah. Staying here just means more of that disgusting smell."

"Then take this with you. Since you didn't have a toy before, you probably didn't have one of these either."

Zenia got up from the chair and took a collar out of a drawer.

I quietly stared at the collar in Zenia's hand and then spoke.

"You want me to put this on Miss Beya?"

"Otherwise, she'll be mistaken for an outsider. You have no choice but to put it on. Plus, it has a subjugation spell on it, so you absolutely must."

I stroked my chin.

Right, that was another issue.

The only people living in this mansion were my family, the 'toys' owned by the family, and a few members of the organization.

If someone completely unfamiliar was wandering around the mansion, suspicion would be unavoidable.

Usually, people would just assume someone brought in a new toy, but you never know.

"And collar play is more fun than you'd think. You wearing it wouldn't be so bad...never mind. Thinking about you putting a collar on that woman suddenly made me feel gross."

Leaving Zenia muttering nonsense behind, I exited the room.

"Take this too!"

As I stepped out, Zenia shoved something into my hand and went back inside.

"......"

I stared blankly at the object nestled in my palm.

Something shaped like a stick with several round beads attached to it.

For now, I took it with me.
