After Retirement, Living a Stud Life in Another World - 19

Chapter 19: Underground Stud Book

“Underground Stud Book, 28th Edition, Compiled by the Royal School Bloodline Research Society.”

The thin book with a green cover displayed this title in elegant handwritten letters. Compared to the luxurious design of the official “Stud Book,” it exuded a homemade feeling. I wondered if the slightly shady atmosphere was just my imagination.

In Japan, mentioning a “thin book” might evoke thoughts of BL (Boys’ Love), but in this world, BL apparently lacked the forbidden nuances. Given the prevalence of the stud system where men were in surplus, it seemed natural for lonely individuals to come together. Even the Church, known for its strict moral stance, silently accepted it.

Oops, my thoughts drifted. The Royal School Bloodline Research Society sounded suspicious. I knew there was a circle with that name, but its clubroom had a sign saying “Men Not Allowed.” It was a closed world, and us guys had no idea what activities took place inside.

“Oh my! This book is still around! Such memories.”

“Oh… this.”

It seemed that my parents were familiar with this thin book. My mother had a positive reaction, while my father seemed negative, creating a contrasting response.

“Am I the only one who doesn’t understand… Sis, what is this?”

“Hehehe… In the ‘Stud Book’ on the surface, you wouldn’t know about the stud’s personality or behavior. It’s risky to choose the father of your child based only on that. This paper evaluates things like whether the stud is kind, can engage in proper conversation, is accustomed to dealing with women, and other factors. Of course, it also considers skill in mating.”

While boldly discussing these matters, Sister blushed a bit at the last phrase, making her look adorable. Right, Sister was still a novice at mating. She joined the military without engaging in it. Probably planning to prioritize work over succession until around the age of twenty.

Well, thinking from a woman’s perspective, it’s indeed important when choosing a partner, especially the first one, whether you can like them as the opposite s3x. Even if this book had a doujinshi-like aspect, the reasons for its existence were understandable.

“I get that you’re passionate about this research, Sister, but what does it have to do with my talent?”

As I asked, Sister snorted and opened a certain page.

“Look at this!”

“Oh, this is…”

There were candid opinions of women I had mated with, along with their evaluations of me. In my case, only eight women had been partners for the “Baptism,” so it was easy to imagine whose opinions were written. Wasn’t this quite a shame play? Well, stud privacy probably wasn’t recognized at all.

But the women who were my partners seemed like nice people. The evaluations were filled with goodwill, making me appear like an incredibly good guy. Despite being inexperienced and innocent, I was skilled and polite, thoroughly satisfying my partners… In a nutshell, that kind of impression. Like a restaurant review site from my previous world, these impressions were scored.

Overall: ★★★★★

Appearance: ★★★★★

Conversation: ★★★★

Kindness: ★★★★★

Cleanliness: ★★★★★

Skill: ★★★★★

Lastly, the women who desired me as their partner contributed a “recommendation.” My page contained the following text:

“Despite being much younger, he took care of me, a novice, with consideration, leading me slowly and gently. Though he looks like a beautiful boy, his heart seems much older, gently enveloping me. He blew away various anxieties and gave me a night like a dream, a wonderful man. Especially recommended as a first partner.”

This… it definitely seemed like something Ayaka-san wrote. The Yamato Nadeshiko, an endangered species even in Japan, and I had a very profound experience together. Moreover, she supported my stud life even a little, writing these words to encourage me. Knowing her personality, she probably blushed while writing this out of embarrassment.

Having imagined Ayaka-san in that way, I probably had a sloppy grin on my face. Before I knew it, both my sister and mother were giving me intense stares, their gazes clinging to me.

“Oh my, seems like you’re quite pleased, huh? I didn’t show you that to make that kind of expression… Anyway, besides practical aspects like lineage and the child’s abilities, Lutz is already a promising prospect. If he can achieve results above the standard in the ‘Baptism,’ especially among teenage noble ladies, he’ll be in high demand.”

Well, that might be true. Unless you’re a high-ranking noble, the person’s preference will strongly influence the choice of a partner for the first child. It’s a lifelong memory, after all. If Lutz-kun, whom I took over, is considered excessively attractive and excels in nighttime manners, as Sister claims… it makes sense.

“So, please. I want you to test Lutz’s abilities…”

Despite being four years older, I could only respond to my sister’s skillful way of seeking help with a vague smile.
