Chapter 66 (2/2)

「Mother, Aria, and Chiffon as well, I’m happy that you’ve thought about us, but this is my and Sakura’s problem. I have my own ways of doing things.」

「Be quiet. Even if we leave it to you, was there not any sort of progress in these two months? The ball, which we especially cooperated with, didn’t show any results either…8」

「But that’s…」

「Objections are not allowed. Do you hear? Obtain results within three days. If you don’t show any results…… you understand, right?」

「Haa~」

I let out a sigh from just recalling that.

What do they want me to do with just three days…

Even I’d like to be a little more intimate with Sakura if I was able to. And sooner or later, those small lips and white skin, with these hands…

The girl’s body, which I’ve seen several times, floats in my mind.

「Sedrim! I’ve heard you know, you’ve finally decided on a fiancée!?」

「UWAA! E-Elder brother, please knock!」

「I knocked many times. n? What is it, your face is red you know.」

「It’s nothing! Leaving that aside, what is it? Fiancée, you say…」

My heart is pounding, because I was suddenly called out to when I was having strange thoughts.

Calm down, Sedrim. Pull yourself together…

「fu. Mother and them said it. Sedrim should have a fiancée before long, they said. Of course, it’s about Sakura right? I approve. I’ll be able to eat delicious dishes if she becomes my little sister na.」

「……Those people! We’ve yet to have that sort of relations.h.i.+p. Therefore that story is a lie.」

I’m having a headache. Is this what women are?

「fu, ‘yet’, which means you’re interested right? If you don’t quickly push her down, other men will s.n.a.t.c.h her away you know?」

「Please leave our matters alone already! I’ll be going out now, so excuse me!」

Even elder brother is following along mother and them… What do they want me to do…?

Since it became the right time while I was being troubled, I tried going to Sakura’s house, but…

「There’s no response huh…」

I tried calling out several times, but there was no response.

「The front door is open, but there’s no response… It can’t be, did something happen to Sakura’s body?」

I hurriedly opened the front door and entered inside.

「Sakura! Where are you!? Are you okay!?」

She wasn’t in either the kitchen or living room…

gatan

「Mm, over there? Sakura?」

I concealed my steps and approached the direction of the sound.

「Nya~」

At that moment, something small suddenly jumped out.

I unconsciously stopped moving at the next thing which jumped out.

「Wait up! Ah, Prince, please catch that…… cat?」

The other party also saw me and suddenly stopped moving.

It’s Sakura.

It’s the girl who I was searching for earlier. There’s no mistake.

But that appearance is…

Did she take a bath? Her skin is flushed with her stark naked appearance, her pink dyed skin unexpectedly brings out the girl’s beauty.9

And from her glossy black hair, maybe because it hasn’t dried yet, drops of water are coming off, which eventually drips down along her body.10

A gulping sound rang out from my throat.

「Ah, Sakura…? Uhm, This is, uh……, you didn’t answer even when I called out, and the door was opened as well…」

I somehow spoke those words with my dried lips while admiring that appearance.

「Ah…, I’m sorry about that. I was taking a bath so…」

Does Sakura not understand the situation? She replied to my words while forgetting to cover her body.

「Nya~」

Suddenly, something by my feet cried out. So this is the ident.i.ty of that thing which jumped out earlier…

「This cat is…?」

「Ah, I picked it up. It seems to be somewhat attached…」

「Nya~」

「I see…」

「Right…」

「Nya~」

A silent atmosphere drifts through the air.

「So…… if you don’t cover yourself with something soon…. I’m worried about where to look….」

Feeling that I couldn’t endure the situation, I unintentionally said that sort of thing.

Normally you would avert your eyes before saying that…

But maybe she understood her current condition, Sakura’s face gradually dyed red.

「……KYAAAAAA!! Please turn around without looking!」

As if that scream finally undid her stiffness, I hurriedly turned around.

「S-Sorry!」

I somehow spoke those short words and escaped to the living room.

The meal afterwards lingered with an awkward atmosphere without any conversation.

Haa… Is this sort of thing okay on the first day…?

I think the remaining two days will be quite difficult to make any progress.

I trudged back towards the castle while thinking that.
