Chapter 54: – First Night x First Night (1/2)

TL Note  : Basically, he’s around 12  years old, and Kris is around 14. Oh yis. – rei

he and snow are 14, Chrisse is 13. They said so a couple chapters ago… – larvyde

O, right. – rei

Then a week passed.

We finally received the key to the house from the Building Agency.

We brought in our personal effects from the Meiya Residence by wagon.

The furniture Snow and Chrisse bought had also been brought in, so we placed them in the spots we had decided beforehand.

Because all three of us used body strengthening, even Chrisse could carry a sofa all by herself.

There was nothing more convenient than that, to make the work go faster.

By mid-morning we finished tidying up our belongings and had a light lunch.

We used up the entire afternoon making preparations for the party.

The one in charge of the main dishes was Snow.

Chrisse had no experience in cooking, so she prepared dessert with me.

We planned on making [Pudding] and the [Mille Crêpe] that they love so much.

As we finished cooking and reached a point where we could rest, Meiya came along.

As promised, she brought with her some liquor.

At first we told her to come, with no need to bring anything, but Meiya herself seemed to want to give us a housewarming gift. Thus, she chose drinks.

Since this is a special occasion, she announced that she would bring some liquor to liven up the place.

The food Snow cooked was lined up on the table.

Stew, sandwiches, salad, meat dishes, and so on.

For dessert, [Pudding] and [Mille Crêpes] were waiting inside the fridge.

We uncorked the liquor—fruit wine Meiya brought, and had a toast.

Snow and Meiya have had alcohol before.

It was the first time for Chrisse and I, so Meiya gave us some mild fruit wine.

While drinking the delicious wine, I sampled my dear wife’s home cooking.

We made pleasant conversation, a lot of time had passed before I realized.

Meiya stood up and said she was going home.

“What are you saying. Aren’t you staying the night here? I’ve prepared a room and made the bed for Meiya’s use already.”

“I’m grateful for your consideration, but this is your moving day. Even I wouldn’t be that insensitive.”

“?”

I had trouble understanding what she was talking about and cocked my head to the side.

After the three of us saw her off, I finally realized what she meant.

(T, that’s right! There will be nobody but us in the house tonight!)

It’s been six years since I brought up the matter of marriage with Snow, and several months with Chrisse.

However, we never did anything ecchi throughout that entire time.

The reason was because we stayed in other people’s homes, the in-laws’ home, and cheap inns on the road.

It was obviously unpleasant to have our first times there.

But now we’re at our own home! Anything is allowed, nobody will come bother us!

I was really late to understand what Snow meant when saying ‘separation’ and ‘independence’.

Certainly, while it’s true that Meiya is rich, relying on others for our basic necessities was too much. I’m finally reflecting on it.

“Well then, Chrisse-chan and I are going to tidy up a little then go take a bath.”

[Snow-oneechan, let’s wash our bodies together.]

“Yeah! It’ll be fun.”

The two of them cleaned up happily together, before heading to the bath.

Although I say bath, it’s just a large metal container with hot water, from which we pour water on ourselves as we clean up using a towel.

Like the difference between heaven and earth compared to the bath at Meiya’s estate.

(But well, if we want to get in a bath to relax, we can always just go to Meiya’s place, so it isn’t a problem.)

If it’s us, then we basically have a free pass for entering and exiting as we please.

While Snow and Chrisse were in the bath, I couldn’t calm down so I paced about the lounge room with the sofa.

(In situations like these, would it be better to prepare the bed? To begin with, do we have condoms in this world? I’ve never ever seen one… But no, maybe it’s just that I’ve never had an opportunity to get involved with a tool of that sort, and they actually do exist! In that case, as a man, it would’ve been my responsibility to buy it!)

There’s no way that I could go flying out of the house, in the dead of the night, to go knocking on the door of a closed tool shop.

To begin with, I don’t even know if they have them.

(To begin with, am I supposed to do it with both Snow and Chrisse for our first night? No, but if it’s only Snow tonight, and Chrisse is left for tomorrow night, various things will become troublesome after all… In that case, should I have one in the bedroom, the other in the guest room, and visit them one by one? But having our first experience together while the other one is waiting in the guest room would be even more awkward, right…?!)

While I interchanged between sitting on the couch and pacing around in anxiety, the two of them left the bathroom.

“Lute-kun, we’ve kept you waiting. The bath is free now.”
