The moment I was waiting for happened, Daddy put Elena in jail, this Hero is rushing to the rescue!… I'll wait a half hour.

2 Saving a Princess is easy.

No, better wait for an hour… Nah, we can't leave her in a cold cell, I made certain she was alone, and [Teleported] into her cell. The Sound [Barrier] went up so we wouldn't be disturbed, Elena was crying on her bunk.

I softly asked: "Elena? Why are you in jail? Did you commit a crime?"

Elena looked up, and jumped into my arms, sobbing out loud. Of course, I hugged her tightly, whispering sweet comforting words in her ear.

A few minutes later she calmed down: "Father would not listen to reason and put me here until the war is done. This could last for months or even years!"

I am still holding her in my arms and asked: "I have a solution for this, do you want to hear it?" I presented her with a handkerchief from my [Inventory] to dry her tears.

Hopeful Elena looked up: "Yes, Lord Seiji, I want to hear your solution."

"It is quite simple, I'll take you home with me, you will live with me until the war is over. Or… you become a member of my [Hero Party]. A Hero can let his Party members learn and level skills very fast, in a matter of weeks you will become a powerful healer, even a strong warrior."

Elena thought for a minute and asked: "Can I do both?"

"You must know a [Hero Party] will have multiple members, are you ok with that? It means sharing my attention with others. I can just let you move in with me as a house guest, or make you a part of my group. Think about it."

Elena mulled it over in her mind and answered: "I want to get stronger and be a member of your party, but can you make sure the others like me too? I don't want someone that hates me facing me every day."

I hugged her tighter and said: "You will be the second in command, they need your approval. We write a message to your father and leave this place." The letter said:

King Adelaidos, I liberated the Princess, as it is my duty as a Hero to rescue maidens in danger. Don't worry, I accepted her in my [Hero Party] and will take good care of her.

Yours… Hers truly, Maruyama Seiji, Other World Hero.

We hugged and [Teleported] into her room, I made it soundproof with my [Barrier] and said: "You better change into something more common, we need to spend the night in the City."

Elena was surprised: "This is my room! Yesterday you appeared like this too! Oh! You can go anywhere you want with that skill?"

"Only to places where I have been, and where the people with a beacon went to. Yes, I have a beacon on you, so I can always find you if you are in trouble. But first, can you see the glowing window in front of you? Press the right icon, that makes you a member of my party."

One click later I have a designated healer and a potential Harem member, all in a good day's work.

Elena changed her outfit while I stored her wardrobe in my [Inventory], the girl has a lot of clothes… a lot! When she was done, no peaking, I can see the video later, I raided the rest of the room, Bed, chairs, table, books, the room was empty when we ported into the church.

The kids saw me arrive and called on Minya, Minya looked at me and asked: "This pretty lady can heal Sister Aria? She is very sick you know. I have to thank you for the food and money from yesterday, we were desperate and I wanted to steal to get some food."

"That is very honest of you young miss, for a girl so young you have done great so far, show me Sister Aria please."

Minya led us to a room where a sick young woman was lying in bed. Elena went to the bed and started using [Illness Mitigation], when Elena paled, I gave her a candy, I know it is stupid, but Japanese candy restores MP. It must be the sugar.

Three candies later, the sister got some color back and fell into a deeper sleep, I began coaching Elena to diagnose the diseases: "It is basically concentrating on what you want to know, and pushing your magic into that intention. For example try to find what causes the disease, and where it is in her body. Remember, eat a [Candy] regularly, this method uses a lot of MP. I handed some candy to the kids too.

A half-hour later Elena shouted: "I found it! It is spread over her whole body, it is weakened by my healing, but not completely gone."

"Very good! This means you learned the diagnose spell, now, look for the things that are fighting the illness, can you find it?"

Five minutes later: "Found it! They are the same size as the sickness."

"Instead of fighting the sickness, reinforce the things that are fighting it, pour some MP into it to see what happens."

Elena focused and poured her magic into Aria's body, Aria began to heat up; the antibodies started to get stronger and overwhelmed the viruses. An hour later Aria is healed.

Elena gained [Recovery Magic] Level 2 – Illness Mitigation – Diagnose – Cure Disease. Her MP raised from 120 to 180 and most of all her Condition: Member of the [Hero Party].

The children were watching us the whole time and witnessed Aria getting better, I stood up and stretched: "I think it is time I start dinner, show me the kitchen Minya, you can help if you want."

I kept it simple, Miso soup, Nabe, and Onigiri. Nabe is just some ingredients you have in store, and cook them in the same pot. It is easy to learn and healthy to eat. Patiently I showed Minya how to clean and prepare the vegetables I took from my [Inventory] while explaining what to look out for and how long it takes for the food to get cooked.

Soon the smell of food spread out in the church. Aria, Elena, and the three kids gathered in the kitchen, watching how I taught Minya to Cook. The table was set in a minute while Aria served the children. The Onigiri completed the dish, Aria sent a quick prayer to the One upstairs, and we dug in.

Minya received a lot of praise for her cooking, I said: "Minya made my work easier, she has the signs of a great Cook." Yep, it got me the Skill [Teaching] Level 1, and Minya the [Cooking] Level 1 -Soup. A productive day to say the least. I found out it is not necessary to be in my Party to learn new skills fast, and food tastes better in good company.

At bedtime, Aria offered her bed to us: "It is not much but you are welcome to it."

Elena refused: "We can't accept that, Lord Seiji, can you take my bed out, please? It is big enough for all the kids, Aria and me." Bummer, I am left out… so sad. The bed was a big hit by the kids, a soft mattress compared to a straw bed leaves no doubt about the winner.

The loser, me, made do with an air mattress and a sleeping bag. I used [Wind Magic] to inflate the air mattress, closely observed by the kids.

I told them: "One day, I will teach you all about Air and Wind, that way you have a better chance to get [Wind Magic] at the Temple. For now, good night everyone."

The next morning I showed Minya how to prepare breakfast with the leftovers from the last dinner, being poor means you can't waste food, I learned that when I took care of Mum and Aya. The loaves of bread Minya bought were good with the Miso soup and completed breakfast, two full meals in a row is a luxury for those orphans, Aria has a slim figure, which means she shared the hardship of the kids.

Elena told Aria she could keep the bed when we said goodbye, while I donated three gold coins to Aria, to take care of the children.

I grabbed Elena and ported home at my front door: "Elena, welcome in my home, in our country it is custom to leave your footwear at the door and use slippers to move indoors. It is a custom that started centuries ago. Here are your slippers."

Elena blushed: "Can you look away please, it is awkward to remove my shoes in the presence of a male. It indicates that we are in a relationship with each other."

"Ah, different people have different customs, to tell the truth, we are in the [Hero Party] together, so, in a way we are in a relationship. I will look away though." quickly I changed my shoes and put my trusty slippers on, I don't have a foot fetish, so I am not that curious to see a bare foot.

"Elena, here is the [Stone of Temporary Language Acquisition], that way you will speak Japanese, now here is the tour of my home. When you come in, the switch to turn the lights on is here."

Elena gasped when I demonstrated: "Those are magic lights? I thought you said this world has no magic!"

"We haven't, those lights are not magical, they work on Electricity. It is a kind of energy based on lightning. Our scientists studied the natural elements and developed technologies to use them. For example, look out this window, see those boxes on wheels move on the road? We found the use of oil to fuel an engine so we don't need horses to pull them anymore."

Elena was glued to the window, in front of her was a completely different world! Big buildings, instead of hard dirt roads, here are stone roads with big metal carriages that are moving by themselves at a terrible speed. She gasped when she saw an airplane fly over to the nearby Airport: "Lord Seiji! Is that a metal dragon? That is so big! How does it stay up in the air?"

"As I said, we developed our science, we learned about the air and how birds can fly. More than a hundred years ago people developed the first airplane since then we used them to travel to other cities and Countries. They are very fast."

Elena whispered: "So many people and no magic at all?"

I hugged her from behind: "No magic at all. This Country is called Japan, the city we are in is called Tokyo, it is the biggest city in this world with 35 million people living in it."

Elena asked: "What are million? I never heard of it."

"Million is the name of a number, like one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, a million. So a million is a thousand times a thousand."

Those numbers staggered Elena, looking out the window into the city she had to take my word for it. We continued the tour of my flat, the bathroom needed some major explanations: "This here is the toilet, in your world, you use outhouses or small rooms at the back of the houses or chamber pots to reduce the smell. We solved this with this toilet bowl model, we do our business on it, then we use these paper tissues to wipe ourselves, and finally, we pull this handle like this and the water flushes it away through the pipes into the sewers. We wash our hands here with this soap like this, and dry it with this towel."

That got Elena excited, the primitive toilets from her world or the chamber pots are a world apart from what we are using, then she sensed the need to relieve herself. She blushed and said: "Lord Seiji, can you move outside? I need to use your toilet bowl…"

"Sure, if you want complete privacy, here is the key to the door, you can lock the door like this." I moved outside, no, I have zero interest in watching Elena pee on a toilet bowl, that doesn't get me excited at all.

When Elena was done, the bath was next: "In this country, we wash first here and soak in the tub afterward. To save on warm water, couples usually share the bath and wash each other back and hair. Friends and siblings share the bath too, I used to bathe with my little sister until I left for college. Even then we shared a bath when I visited home. When Aya turned ten we stopped sharing, her turning into a woman made her need privacy. It is also a form of socializing."

To be honest, I stopped it myself, Aya was turning into a bro con and was fixated on me. Ten years of spoiling her made her think I was her property to boss around.

The tour continued with the hairdryer and toothbrush. The bedrooms, with my king-size bed; the guestroom with the single bed got a small visit, I am glad I cleaned the apartment yesterday. The kitchen and the devices were interesting to Elena, but being a Princess made her clueless about Cooking. We ended our tour in the living room where the TV and PC got her attention.

An hour later the doorbell rang; Aya arrived. I opened the door and asked: "Hello Aya, weren't you supposed to come next week?"

Aya protested: "I called, but you didn't answer the phone, I even texted you! So it is not my fault."

Elena heard us talking and came closer: "Lord Seiji, is this the sister you were talking about?"

Aya slowly turned her head to me and said: "LORD Seiji? Who is this girl, brother? She clearly isn't from around here."

I shrugged: "This is Princess Elena Delaidos, from the Country Delaidos, which is located in another world. I am the Hero that freed her from prison, I [Teleported] her to our world and sheltered her here."

Aya took her phone and started dialing numbers while mumbling to herself: "I bet the mental institute will cure him from his delusions."

I flicked my finger to her head: "Stop calling brat, Elena, I have to prove it to my sister, we will be right back." I grabbed Aya and [Teleported] home into her room: "Well Aya? Where are we? Speak softly so Mum won't hear us.

Aya looked around, this was her room at home! It took an hour to travel to Seiji's apartment! "W w we are h home? It is real?"

I nodded: "Very real, now, get your clothes, so I can bring them along, it saves us a trip next week." Aya witnessed her clothes disappear into thin air when I stored them in my [Inventory] even her undies. We [Teleported] back to my place where Aya had to sit down on the couch to recuperate from the shock.

Finally, she said: "Start explaining, from the start."

"The day before yesterday I got summoned to another world. They made me touch a Crystal that granted me magic powers; after that, they tried to trick me into wearing a [Slave Collar], Princess Elena alerted me of the danger and I escaped. I thanked her for her help and promised to help her if she needed it.

I ported back home. The next day I noticed that Princess Elena was in trouble and [Teleport] to her, she was in prison for questioning her father's decision to go to war. I saved her by bringing her here."

Elena added: "Lord Seiji was summoned with the [Hero Summoning Ritual], I could not stay still when Father wanted to put a [Slave Collar] on him. Yesterday he made me a member of his [Hero Party] as his second in command."

Aya looked suspicious at me: "Hero Party? Is it something indecent? Are you starting something illegal? I thought I was the only girl for you?"

Hey! That was to let my parents stop nagging at me to search for a wife! I only said it once as a joke. She has a selective memory, only forgetting the parts she doesn't like.

I shrugged: "Well, you have to learn how to share, you know that Heroes are popular with the girls. No, seriously, being in my [Hero Party] lets you learn and level skills fast. Yesterday, Elena learned [Diagnose]. It searches for sickness and [Cure Disease] is for curing it."

Aya asked: "What magic powers did you get? Something good? Teleporting and letting my clothes disappear into thin air is impressive, do you know something else?"

"Let's see, I have [Space Time Magic] at maximum level, it has Quick, Slow, Barrier, Future Prediction, inventory, and Teleportation.

Next, I have [Information Magic] also at maximum level, it has Vigilance, Map, Appraisal, Concealment, Tracking, Language Acquisition, and Skill Master Increase.

When I escaped, I went into the city and sold some stuff I brought along from Earth. I visited a Temple and got [Wind Magic] at level 4 and [Lightning Magic] at Maximum level.

I gained the [Cooking] skill at maximum too

When I was teaching a little girl how to cook, I got the [Teaching] Level 1. Also from my fight with a knight, I have [Body Techniques] Level 3 and [Sword Techniques] Level 3."

Aya jumped up: "Let's go there! I want to learn magic too!"

"Hold on Aya, I can only travel once a day to the other world, I do have the [Mana Crystal Fragment] Which is a stone that grants the person who touches it skills based on their occupation. Although you have no occupation or profession, I confiscated that Crystal when they betrayed me. Here touch it and see what you will get from it."

Aya grabbed the Crystal out of my hand, and let the magic flow into her, disappointed she told me: "It didn't do anything? Why can't I feel something?"

After I took the Crystal back, I [Appraised] her

| [Information Magic] Rarity **** Level 1 – Search

"Aya, you have [Information Magic] Rarity **** Level 1 – Search, wait the description of search is to find information fast, using magic makes you search on the right places. This is useful for your studies Aya, everyone is losing precious time looking for information to do their homework or research."

Aya complained: "But I can't use it here! It is something for school."

I flicked my finger on her forehead: "Do you know how many students want to pay a fortune to have that skill? Stop complaining and be happy with what you got. Tomorrow we go to the other world. First, we need to do some shopping to get Elena clothes from Earth, you can help with that."

Aya jumped up and pulled Elena out of the couch: "Elena! Let's go out and spend brothers' money!" and dragged Elena to the door.

She was right, they spent a lot of my savings; Elena got several outfits. I wasn't allowed in the lingerie selection, meh, I had my video feed. Although as a grown man, drooling when he is looking at a blank space, it made me stop it when a kid asked his mum who the creep was. Yes, I better watch the recording at night… damned, I am a creep! Meh, I have been on a dry spell for eighteen years, I deserve something.

I could avoid Aya from dragging us to a Sushi restaurant by telling her I am cooking at home, and that they should take a bath first. That saved me several thousands of Yen.

Back home, Aya dragged Elena to the bathroom with the new clothes, the next hour I heard laughing, giggling, and girly screams from the bathroom while I was cooking, I turned the video feed off, spying on my sister is… distracting me from cooking. When the food was ready, I stored in it my [Inventory] to keep it warm. Aya and Elena came out with their new bathrobes on and made me go to take a bath.

Saving water, I used the water Aya and Elena soaked in… well, along with the video feed, it released some of the pressure when I was done.

We had our meal in the kitchen; after a few minutes, I handed a fork to Elena: "Here Elena, this makes it easier to eat. Chopsticks are not easy to use at first, use a fork or Aya is getting all the best parts first."

Aya protested: "Not true! I am taking them to feed Elena, here Elena, aahn… see?"

After dinner, Elena said: "Lord Seiji, I want to learn your language and customs. This Country is full of wonders and I want to learn all of it."

I thought for a moment and put a DVD of Magical Girl C in the DVD player: "It is easier to learn the language when you watch Anime. Aya and I used to watch these all the time."

Aya nested herself against me and said: "Yes I remember it well. We used to watch this Anime all the time, just like this." After a few episodes of Magical Girl C, Elena was hooked, the wonders of TV, combined with moving Anime and the new experiences of today, got her fixed on the show.

When it was time for bed, Elena followed me into my bedroom, Aya pulled her back: "Elena! What are you doing?"

Elena answered: "Going to bed with Lord Seiji, as a Party member it is my duty."

Aya glared at me: "What did you fool her with? There is no way she will be sleeping with you! She is mine! Go to the other room while Elena and I take your bed."

She is mine? Greedy brat! What are you, a lesbian? Or are you just cock-blocking me? Aya pulled Elena into my room while shoving me outside. She closed the door with the words: "Goodnight Hentai brother."

I had to settle in the other room while I started the tracking video feed. Aya and Elena were dressed in a big T-shirt and panties, I heard Aya say: "Let us search Seiji's room, he is bound to have some secrets I can blackmail him with."

Elena asked: "Is that a custom here in this Country? What are we searching for?"

Aya grinned: "Anything we can embarrass him with, aha! Look here under his mattress! Hentai books! I knew he was interested in girls! Mum and Dad suspected him to be gay. This proves them wrong!"

WTF? My parents thought I was gay? In retrospect, I avoided interacting with girls to avoid the temptation, thinking I am gay is a natural conclusion.

Elena was paging through some books and asked: "Aya? What are these girls doing? And these? Why are they putting their fingers in there?"

Aya blushed and asked: "Elena, how old are you?"

"Sixteen, almost seventeen in two months, why do you ask that?"

Aya took a deep breath and told her: "It is called sex play, they do it to get pleasure, if you are alone you can masturbate, or; if you are with a trusted friend you can do this to get an orgasm."

Elena was puzzled: "What is an orgasm? And what is masturbating?"

Aya felt trapped, how do you explain this to an innocent girl? She started explaining: "Did you never have an erotic dream where you got kissed and caressed by a man?"

Elena blushed: "I did last night, I dreamed about Lord Seiji hugging me and feeling his breath on my neck when he was whispering into my ear, I felt his lips brushing my ears, I woke up all tingly and hot."

Aya was embarrassed, hearing Elena telling her about a wet dream she had about me, she told her: "They call those dreams, wet dreams or erotic dreams. Usually, you wake up when you have or are about to have an orgasm, the next step is masturbating, you fantasize about your dream male and you touch yourself on your sensitive spots, like your nipples or your pussy, you can also insert your fingers in there and imagine it is a man putting his thing in it."

Elena: "? His thing?"

Aya paged through the books and showed a picture: "See? He is putting his thing in her pussy, I heard it feels good, except for the first time."

Elena pointed at a picture on the other page: "He is licking there! Why does he do that?"

Aya groaned, this is getting out of hand: "It is part of sex play, they told me it feels heavenly when someone does that with you."

Elena asked next: "And those two women are having sex play too… Aya? I want to learn your customs, can you teach me sex play?"

Aya sighed: "I can't believe I am doing this. Alright, but don't tell anyone this, it is supposed to be very private, between close friends. Remove your clothes, I will do the same. Now, to start, we caress each other, the breasts are sensitive and it feels nice when you play with the nipples like this. See? They became hard and pointy, which means you are aroused and like what I am doing. Does it feel good Elena?"

Elena gasped: "Very good, can I do the same?"

Aya nodded: "It is best when both have a good time, I am going lower with my hand and stroking your pussy, feel this little nob? It is called the clitoris and is very sensitive, playing with it feels very gooood! Yes like that! Oh god, that feels heavenly, don't stop!"

Aya came screaming: "Elena where did you learn that? I could not stop it."

Elena smiled: "I used [Recovery Magic] when I fondled your clitoris."

Aya gasped: "That was fantastic! Now it is my turn to make you feel good, lay down and let me lick your pussy." A minute later Elena reached the top.

When she came down she said to Aya: "Aya, I like your customs."

Aya whispered back: "I like your magic, we better get our clothes back on, if brother wakes us up in the morning, we better not be naked."

After a minute Elena asked softly: "Aya? If Lord Seiji does this to me will it feel great too?"

Aya sighed: "If you have feelings for him it will, when someone you despise does it, you will hate it. It all depends on your feelings."

Elena whispered: "I think I will love it."

It took me an hour to fall asleep.
