Chapter 83 Part3 (2/2)

“I have to coordinate it with duchess Philip-dono and the eis very welcome” (Toyomune)

“I’m sure you want to protect the citizen’s livelihood by i the economic activity” (Wendelin)

“It helps that you understand quickly, Earl Baumeister-dono” (Toyomune)

Once we headed to the high-class inn, which was assigned to us, as it becah Earl Mizuho was held there

Since it’s a hot-spring hotel, we are also wearing the yukata which were provided by the inn

As the bath is a naturally circulating hot spring that’s fed by a source, it’s effective against nerve pain and rheumatism

With it apparently having the legend of iirls told me that they want to enter it quickly

There’s an open air bath, too It looks likeis possible today

But first comes the meal Once we enter the tatami-matted banquet hall, numerous dishes, which appeared usually at obon, were lined up

Sashi+ meat that was roasted with miso and nabe with small seafood

It’s a deluxe edition of theat a hot-spring hotel in my previous life

“I want a cook as well…” (Wendelin)

“The people’s overnard” (Toyomune)

“Therese-dono?”

“Wendelin, the parts thou fuss about are unusual for a noble” (Therese)

Even if I’m told that, it’s necessary to employ Mizuho people fro on kimonos and yukatas as well as to have a skilled cook make Mizuho food

That’s so I won’t yield on

No, it’s for that reason that I will once again kill people

If others learn of that fact, I will doubtlessly be treated as savage

At least officially I’ for the sake of both countries’ stability

“Let’s go with a toast then?”

It seems that they don’t hold overly formal banquets in Earl Mizuho Country

I hear that they hold a banquet in such format, no matter who visits them

“I like it, but there areforced to sit on the floor” (Therese)

Although there are flat floor cushi+ons, tatami are treated as floor in the empire’s centre

Though I don’t think so since shoes aren’t allowed

“As they will only be stiff even if they visit It’s convenient in reverse if they don’t come because of that” (Toyomune)

High Earl Mizuho reveals his true thoughts without hiding anything

As a result of that, the emperor had never made an imperial visit to Earl Mizuho Country

Since they are half independent, the guarding is troublesome Each ti in the end

“It’s the same with the prince-elector lords It’s probably only me who ever came here” (Therese)

Therese continues to talk while drinking hot Mizuho Sake

“As for sightseeing, there arelocations for the empire here” (Therese)

The empire is a multiethnic nation, but there are unexpectedly few cultural differences

The cultures ended up being absorbed over the last 2000 years

The only one a thearded as a popular tourist spot by the common people and the nobles besides the prince-elector lords

“Even though touris away due to the current disturbances Good grief, that duke-dono, who hails fro, ambitious household, can’t read the mood at all” (Toyomune)

High Earl Mizuho complained about the lowered income

Even this hot-spring hotel which becauests not co due to the coup d’etat uproar

Under these circu out of question for people at such level was only natural

“If the disturbances drag on, the empire will decay, won’t it?”

“Seen on short-term it will decline no matter in what direction the situationhas a sophisticated, detailed, long-terh”

Therese was bitter towards Duke Nürnberg, too

It shouldn’t be possible to create an e, centralized authoritarian rule, that easily

The her the possibility for the empire to decline

“He’s a troublesome person”

“He has too uess”

Although it’s a banquet, the coup d’etat and Duke Nürnberg, who is its ringleader, end up beco a popular topic in the conversations

However, before long the matters to talk about lessen and the banquet finishes slowly

“Tomorroill be an early start Shall we enter the bath earlier than usual and go sleep afterwards?”

It’s the first ti and moreover even an open air bath

I did have baths by digging up rocks, filling the my childhood, but strictly spoken, those weren’t open air baths

I decide to exclude those since they were mere outdoor baths

“Erw, let’s go take a bath” (Wendelin)

“Y-Yea…” (Erwin)

I try to head quickly to the open air bath after being able to have aze of Erhom I invited, was absent-minded

Once I look ahead to the place he’s staring at, I see a single wo there

“Erw, she is?” (Wendelin)

“Yea” (Erwin)

With hi that much, there’s no need to tell me any further

In other words Erw fell in love at first sight with a woain

“(That guy shouldn’t fall in love ooes to)”

“(It’s probably because he’s young)”

Burkhart-san and Doushi+ whispered a that he will be rejected once again

Certainly, if you look at her properly, she’s quite the beautiful girl

Her height is around 160 c in a corner of the rooht blue long underpants

Her black hair, which is hanging down to her waist, is bound into a ponytail She doesn’t seee compared to us

A japanese-styled beautiful girl with the air of a swords her face, I was reminded of Karla

It’s not like they are that similar, but her atmosphere resembled that of Karla well

“Her?”

“Is she a guard?”

“They have h Earl Mizuho Look, she has three katanas, I think” (Therese)

Her possessing a 『Magic Katana』 s to the Battou Unit Her skill should be quite high

Yes, she was a beautiful swordgirl-sama

“Basically the 『Battou Unit』 is an all- thely powerful” (Therese)

According to Therese’s explanation, she will acco 『duchess Philip-sama’s esteemed party』

Well, I guess it’s about us

“That girl is called Haruka Fujibayashi+ and seee, she will become quite the beauty” (Therese)

Since she’s a beautiful japanese-styled swordgirl whose atht be inevitable for Erw to fall in love with her

“Rather than thou, Wendelin, Erwin fell in love?” (Therese)

“Possibly” (Wendelin)

“It’s not a bad combination Both of them use the sword Haruka Fujibayashi+’s home seems to be a lower retainer household She was selected for her sword skills which are unparalleled” (Therese)

The instant he heard Therese-sa spirit

There shouldn’t be any hindrance in her case for her to become his wife

Understanding that ain in Erw’s eyes

“Nice to uard of Earl Baumeister” (Erwin)

The minute he understood that it’s not all hopeless, Erw rushed over at lightning speed to Haruka’s position and introduced himself

Even though he should act as uard, I don’t even enter his eyes anymore

“Let’s have a preparatory ether” (Erwin)

“Preparatory , he says, eh…” (Luise)

Of course he does it properly, but there are also parts that are seen as happy-go-lucky by the fe by what Luise said, she doesn’t see it as anything but picking up girls in the disguise of a preparatoryas objective

“I’m called Haruka Fujibayashi+, Armin-sama” (Haruka)

“As fellow escorts ill guard duchess Philip-saether, please don’t add “-sama” to my name Also, those close to me call me Erw” (Erwin)

“Erw-san, it is?” (Haruka)

“Yes! I look forward to working with you, Haruksan Although it’s quite abrupt, but let’sinside this inn is perfect, but it will be necessary to strengthen our vigilance once we leave Earl Mizuho Country” (Erwin)

“Yes” (Haruka)

The beautiful swordgirl Haruka seems to basically have a serious character

She doesn’t mind at all when Erw starts to talk about the job and also not being called by her name all of a sudden

Once being told that it’s a an to honestly arrange things together with Erw

“Such serious Erw, that’s the first time I see that” (Ina)

“Me too” (Wendelin)

I agree with Ina’s comment

Noticing that the girl called Haruka is seriously trying to do her best after being chosen for such an important mission, he probably sche up with her endeavour

I believe he has a splendid observation and strategy, but until now that has never led to the realization of love

———————————- End of Part 2 ————————————–

“By the way, are you the eldest daughter of the Fujibayashi+ household, Haruksan?” (Erwin)

“No I have an elder sister who's oing to inherit the household” (Haruka)

“Is that so?” (Erwin)

At once Erw’s face becomes all smiles

He’s probably thinking that he can marry her without any kind of problems

Well, I do understand his feelings

Even froirl you don’t meet that often

“(However, a beautiful swordgirl in this place, huh…?)”

Moreover she has a great style for no special reason

Her stance is good since she’s accusto, are accentuating her breasts quite a bit

She htly smaller breasts than Katharina, I think?

“Do you have any hobbies, Haruksan?” (Erwin)

“Eh? Is that related to guarding in some way?” (Haruka)

“It has no direct relation But, it’s not like you can stay tense forever just because you are on guard duty It’s iuarding during the breaks” (Erwin)

“I see Is that how it is? I cook during my holidays…” (Haruka)

“So you are not only a swordsman, but also know of the manners as woman, Haruksan” (Erwin)

“I’m not that skilfull, but…” (Haruka)

Haruka reveals an expression showing that she’s not as dissatisfied being praised by Erw

Maybe she doesn’t have ainst men

“His experience inpasses at women has increased” (Katharina)

Katharina, who recognizes his skill in swords that he’s a playboy, has an amazed expression

However, his re either

Besides, until no acco any kind of attack against me

“Wend Let’s go take a bath”

“Wend-sama Bath” (Wilma)

“Yeah, right” (Wendelin)

I think it’s the best to leave the matters of Erw and Haruka to the people concerned

Given that I was led by Luise’s and Wilht away

“There’s a man’s bath, woman’s bath and mixed bath”

“Man’s…” (Wendelin)

“To the mixed bath!”

“Mixed bath!”

“Mixed bath, it is!”

“Mixed bath”

“It’s the mixed bath” (Katharina)

Elise and the others overrulemixed bath

I didn’t have a speck of interest in Doushi+’s and Burkhart-san’s naked bodies, but I thought it would be side fellow men

“If it’s your esteemed companions, they went into the direction of the man’s bath just now”

According to the ed, female employee, both of them apparently hurried into the man’s bath

“Isn’tfine? I will also…” (Therese)

“Therese-sama, from now on it’s the period of married couples Please restrain yourself”

Therese, who hears about the e herself in there too, but Elise gave her a warning without leaving a single opening

Without doubt Doushi+ and Burkhart-san foresaw this development and escaped ahead of time

“It’s not like it has been reserved by the Bau, right?” (Therese)

“That is…”

“There is, isn’t there? The edo the same bath while naked will turn into a s, won’t it?”

What Katharina said was a sound argument

It’s not only bad for our reputation, but also it’s possible that Duke Nürnberg will announce that Therese and I are trying to steal the eo badly

“(Mixed bathing with Therese has a charm, but…)” (Wendelin)

If we are careless, it’s not unlikely that even the kingdom’s side will harbour worries

I didn’t believe that this had an appeal for Therese to the degree of closing her eyes to the possible issues

Though I considered it to be quite regrettable in my mind

“Since it’s before an i any problems, Therese-sama” (Katharina)

Being flatly told so by Katharina, Therese gave up and headed to the woman’s bath while ent into the mixed bath

“Therese-sama is persistent”

Luise sighs while soaking in the open air bath

The open air bath had a luxurious, spacious structure as one would expect of a high-class inn

Even when soaking in the open air bath, which was surrounded by rocks, with six people, it still had plenty of space left

The surroundings were concealed by a baeline of the mountains made for a beautiful scenery

Sounds of ba on the shi+shi+odoshi+ echo froarden (T/N: Water-filled baht in old japanese gardens)

“Maybe Therese-sa the mana increase…” (Luise)

“Luise, sshhh!” (Ina)

Ina hinders Luise to speak any further in panic

The mana of five people, who should have already hit the li and ht activities withthe reason for that was a secret

As A the sain with, her mana hasn’t increased at all

However, thetheir spear and battle axe even if it’s below ele

According to Burkhart-san’s prediction, the nuicians, which has been known to be 1 in 1000 until now, has the potential to become 1 in several hundreds now

『However, that’s only in case they have sex with you, Earl-sama』 (Burkhart)

The mana capacity of Elise, Luise and Katharina, who should have hit the li and vessel unification, has increased as well

If society learns of that, e quantities of women

『Hehehe! It’s a rendezvous with a gentleman after 50 years, but since my mana will increase with this, it’s a reward』

『I’ forward to it』

Old e of 80 will advance on me to embrace me

I can’t consider this as anything but a nightmare

Even so, it’s still fine as long as it’s just women

『Ussu! I’d like you to raise my mana ~ssu!』

I will definitely go mad on the day when a man presents his ass to me

It’s considered to be a taboo by the church, but in front of the char the mana capacity beyond its limit, it’s quite possible for the church to tolerate it by treating it as ceremony

I think it was a nice ti to say

“Luise, you have a loose tongue The walls have eyes and ears here”

“It’s certainly a verbal slip”

For Earl Mizuho Country it will probably be troubleso happens to us

Once I probe with 『Detection』, I can see the response of people who are serving as guards in the surroundings

“(Are they possibly called 『ninja』 or such?)” (Wendelin)

“Peepers?” (Wilma)

Even if their objective is to guard us, did they maybe see our naked bodies?

Having sensed that, Wiluard

“It’s alright, Wilma All of them are women”

“You did well to grasp that…”

Rather than the thoughts of 『Then they are kunoichis?』, I feel bothered by Luise’s super-detection (T/N: Female Ninjas)

“If it’s men and women, there are subtle differences in their mana” (Luise)

“I know that, but…” (Wendelin)

I have been taught that by ht that people, who can actually distinguish that, don’t exist

Master and Burkhart-san said that it’s impossible

Both are capable of specifying an individual once they re whether it’s ait for the first time is a special skill that only Luise owns

“Luise, a Next time, teach me” (Wilma)

Wilma was honestly impressed

“Recently you beca, you know?”

Due to her ability appearing to be already on equal term with Doushi+, I couldn’t hide my surprise

“However, recently one up after all At the saone up as well” (Luise)

“If you feel like it, you can obtain your own peerage” (Katharina)

Katharina also gave her stamp of approval to Luise’s actual ability

“No need TheI will popularize the ether with my children as Wend’s wife” (Luise)

“The children between Wendelin-san and Luise-san, huh…? Co it with the point that our mana increased…”

Maybe children like Doushi+ will be born

Katharina see like that

“Let’s return to the topic? It’s a wonderful open air bath” (Elise)

Certainly, it will get troublesome if others listen in on us

Just as Elise says, we returned the topic to the open air bath

“I want to coularly”

“Next tihts”

It was Elise who started to talk like that while s, but as expected of her

Her breasts are floating in the bath

I noticed it at the tie, but since breasts consist of fat, they float

“(It’s a nificent view)” (Wendelin)

Katharina’s breasts are floating, too Once I look at Ina’s and Wilh the hot water, they have a different ro directly at them

Certainly this is a reward froainst my will

Although it wasn’t without feelings of guilt, I won’t be able to survive in this world if I mind it too much

I decided to go with this take on the matter

“Buu~~~! My chest has this much individuality…” (Luise)

Luise, who has the lowest chest size, jumps on my back

They grew since the time she was 12 years old all the same, but Luise’s breasts were an cup after all

“That’s true They have individuality I like them, your breasts, Luise” (Wendelin)

While feeling the s similar to a perverted old man

If I consider h

“That’s right My breasts have rarity value Besides, I won’t talk about anyone in specific, but I’e” (Luise)

“Oy oy…” (Wendelin)

If you ask about who, it’s of course about that lady who is still single at an age of 20

“Hoo, who is a woe? Please do tell me by all means” (Therese)

However, Luise is quite mean as well

She is deliberately sarcastic towards Therese who iswith me

Considering Luise’s ability, it’s unthinkable for her to not having noticed Therese approaching close-by

“(Oy, oy, Luise)” (Wendelin)

“(I perceived the presence of a woman, but I didn’t think that it was Therese-sama)” (Luise)

“(Liar)” (Wendelin)

Although she is giving such an excuse, there’s no doubt that it’s a lie

She should have already remembered Therese’s mana by now

“Umm… Therese-sama?” (Elise)

“Don’t worry I’ bath clothes for the sake of the innocent Wendelin” (Therese)

As expected of a spa for tourists, they have even prepared bath clothes for tourists although it’s a custom to enter the bath naked with others

Therese hite bath clothes

“We will beco our lives Such socializing is necessary as well, right?” (Therese)

She enters the bath while saying so, but on top of her body line being easily projected through the originally thin bath clothes, her nipples were visible due to the clothes clinging to her body in the bath

I avert aze from Therese in a hurry

“Therese-sah social standing though” (Elise)

“Aren’t thou naked, Elise-dono?” (Therese)

“Is there anything wrong about a ether?” (Elise)

“Certainly not Thee nant soon” (Therese)

Therese dodged Elise’s attack evasively just like before

As expected of a prince-elector who’s a candidate for beco empress

“It hit me suddenly, but if I marry Wendelin, this unproductive quarrel with you, Elise-dono, will vanish If that happens, it will become peaceful” (Therese)

“Well, my position and stomach will always be exposed to war times”

Doubtlessly I will end up being regarded as a person who requires special attention by both countries

Only that, please excusethat cross

She is a char woman, but she isn’t necessary anymore as Amelie-sister-in-law-san covers the mature aspect

“Therese-sa if you don’t offer a bait to the nobles you are going to gather from now on” (Ina)

It’s just as Ina says

Seeing that we are incapable of confir the survival of the new emperor Urquhart the 17th and the other prince-electors, Therese, who is trying to defeat the rebel Duke Nürnberg, is the most important person as next emperor candidate

“I will gather coht become my husband Since it’s an old trick, I will use it of course But, there will be never any guarantee that someone will become my husband” (Therese)

“Then, do you intend to stay single, Therese-sama?” (Elise)

“Handling an empress’ husband is troublesome” (Therese)

Even in the e If she is careless, hebut a hindrance to a rule by an empress

Up until now there were candidates for beco empress, but none of them was actually enthroned

Since they always tripped over this problem, they couldn’t win in the emperor elections, it seems

“The treat as well That’s why” (Therese)

Therese, who soaked in the hot water next to s to my arm

The sensation of her voluptuous breasts, which I can feel at my upper arm, is wonderful

No, stop, I think this is getting bad

“It’s fine with the their sperm to me However since there’s no romance with only that, won’t thou let me enjoy a time as married couple as well?” (Therese)

“No, that is…” (Wendelin)

“Please stop it already! Aren’t you just troubling Wendelin-sama!?” (Elise)

The angry Elise pulls ets separated from me

Now I can feel the sensation of Elise’s breasts pressing against my upper arm

“Whether he is troubled about it is so that Wendelin himself decides Isn’t that so, Wendelin?” (Therese)

It’s fine to get angry here and abandon our job as y becoet a victory against him

The empire, which would have destroyed Philip Dukedo’s reign and it was very likely that it would becodom

In the worst case it’s also possible that he will deliberately keep the empire in a quasi-war-state in order to unify it

Facing towards the kingdo it a common enemy for the dissatisfaction of the nobles and populace whose impoverishment increased in the civil as an act that was carried out occasionally in any world and country

Then, once he continuously stations the increased military forces at the national border, it will likely influence the econoe Lands

As a noble of the kingdoet Therese to win here

Not only is she anticipating that, but she’s also starting to strengthen her support base in case of her beco empress

In order to prevent theto n noble she just met

No matter whether that child becoive birth to a faction called the parent’s kingdom faction in the empire

Shethat

“If thou desire, I don’toff these bath clothes either, Wendelin” (Therese)

“No, it’s fine!”

Elise and the others restrain Therese’s temptations

Thanks to that I didn’t enjoy the open air bath overly , leisurely bath, it ended withfrom dizziness
