34 Episode 34 "When I was warming up with a slave in a hot spring town, a great person came into contact.".txt (2/2)
'You know what, Nay-kun?'
Yes.
'From now on, Aine is going to leave Cecil-chan alone and wipe him all over the body. Nah-kun, can you go out of the room or stay here and observe every inch of it, whichever you prefer?
Aine said.
I opted for the former.
...... later, when Cecil is feeling a little better.
I decided to go back to my room.
And when I opened the door - I heard a voice that sounded like a spell?
'What am I going to do? What am I going to say when Nagi comes back?
His golden tail twitched across the bed.
It's the first time I've ever stayed alone with you. Welcome home, master? Or is it Mr. Nagi? Cecil is recuperating. Aine is taking care of her. I shouldn't be the only one who gets along especially well with them, right?
...... Hey, Rita.
'Yeah, but what if Nagi wants to do something to me? I can't say no. ...... I can't say no. What should I say to Cecil? What if someone says, ”I hate you, Rita. I'll die if that happens. Ahhhhhh. What am I going to do?
thundering about
clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap
blip blip
I walked into the room and there's a beastly girl lying around with her tail wagging and ears twitching.
'But ...... Nagi was so cool today.
With a snap, Rita stopped her circular motion and began murmuring to the wall.
It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can see these things. It's not fair. Oh, but how do I tell Cecil and Aine about this crush?
'No, Rita fought for me, and it's not like she was cheating or anything.
'Because my job is to fight in the vanguard. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to see the difference. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do anything about it. What is this guilt?
Rita is more serious than you think.
'It's not about being serious or anything! This is a matter of girlly humanity! I'm happy for Nagi, but... Nagi?
flailing
Rita, who was facing the wall, spun around and looked at me.
Her pure white skin turned bright red all at once, from her toes to the top of her head.
'Nagi────? How long have you been here, how long have you been here?
Where's the beastman's ability to sense his presence?
'Be that as it may,'
I don't care! Uh-oh.
Rita rolled over with her head in her hands.
'Stop, Rita,'
I stopped Rita from rolling over to the bed with my hands. 'Your back.
'Actually, I'm going to be staying in town for a while.
...... Huh?
It wasn't until Cecil got better that I realized what was going on. It was a custom in my hometown.
I told Rita the same thing I told Cecil.
”So...
'I see. Cecil-chan would cry too, wouldn't she? If someone said that to you.
No, it's just a custom in my hometown.
Yes, Master. Let's keep it that way, shall we?
Basically, I only do what I want to do.
In my old world, I did things I didn't want to do for a living.
In this world, I decided I wouldn't do anything I didn't want to do.
...... You know what, Master?
Rita sat upright on the floor.
Her lips were pursed and her cherry-red eyes were fixed on me.
I would die for Nagi, okay?
”...... to Rita!
As I recall, Cecil also said he'd die if I died.
”Nagi...... No, Master. My place is here. Master's side is the happiest place for me to be. From the moment master accepted me, I've been warm here ...... ever since.
Rita put her hand on her chest.
Embarrassed, Rita laughed, her ears falling down.
'This happiness was given to me by my master, and I'll accept anything my master does. Because Rita-Melpheus is Master's. Just remember that.
As I say it, Rita's body starts to tremble. She turns her head down and looks up at me. Her face is so red it looks as if steam is going to come out of it. I can't help but feel embarrassed when you look at me like that, but...
”Nagi...... my master. The best, most, taisei in the world who gave me happiness .................. ugh, no, I knew it... ......... limit!
Holding her face, Rita fell with a snap.
I'm going to have to go to ............ limit. I'm ...... embarrassed by this kind of ...... embarrassment!
I can't take it anymore.
Sometimes Rita is so serious.
As for me, I'm going to do my best to relax my body and do my best until we reach a future where we can all be together.
Cecil, Rita, and Aine will be with you as long as you want them to be.
I really wanted to start a family after I had a stable foundation in life. Otherwise, like my parents ...... well, it's okay.
I still have a lot of problems to deal with.
...... Rita, if there's anything you want to do, just let me know.
I take a deep breath, calm down, and say in a masterly tone of voice.
'I'm a master from a civilized society, so I'm going to listen to my slave's wishes as much as I can.'
”Master ...... are you sure?
Rita, who had turned bright red and was holding her face, looked at me through her fingers.
'Yeah. Say whatever you want.
So, be my guest.
vermilion
Rita holds her golden hair in one hand and pulls her face closer to mine.
Smh, smh, smh, smh.
She presses her face against my neck and sniffles and sniffs.
Let's see.
”...... master's scent supply. I can't sleep until I do this at least once a day.
No, it's the first time you've done that.
..................
Why are you looking away, Mr. Rita?
Nagi doesn't wake up once she goes to sleep .......
Rita Melpheus. You can tell me all about what you did in my sleep!
I don't want to use the ring's compulsion to get you to confess immediately.
”...... I'm sorry, Master. Please spell it out.
When we got to the port city of Ilgafa.
I see. While I was sleeping, Rita was trying to learn my scent.
She liked the scent on my neck, behind my ears and in the palms of my hands, to be precise, and she was smooching enough. I heard that it's a beastly habit to want the scent of a submissive person.
Rita said it was partly because she wanted to remember my scent with all of herself, in case she lost me.
Sitting doggie pose and turning bright red.
Well, it's not a big deal. ......
But now that we are here, let's think about what we need to do when we get to Ilgafa.
”Next time, you'll have to ask my permission to do it properly.
'Yes, master, ...... and I'll do anything I can to apologize. Please order me to do something.
Okay. I'll go shopping with you.
........................ light.
Rita, who had been nodding, looked up in surprise.
............ I was so ready for this, but Nagi is so light, that's it.
My bodyguard?
I don't think anyone would attack me in the middle of a town like this.
Just in case. Whoever was controlling that black armor might have seen us from somewhere. That's why I want Rita to check the perimeter. I'll take stock of the town's terrain and make sure we have an escape route in case of an emergency.
And that girl, Iris-Hafeumea.
I confirmed it again to Leticia.
Hafeumea was the surname of the one connected to the family of the port city Ilgafa lord.
To be precise, it was apparently the surname of a side room that married into the Ilgafa lord.
Leticia's mother was a distant relative of the Ilgafa Lord, and she was told the story when she was young.
As expected, though, Leticia didn't know the details of the Ilgafa lord's family situation, either.
''There's a possibility that that young lady will contact us.
'I know what's going on then, and I'd better be with you, right?
That's what I mean.
He seems convinced. Rita puts her hand on her chin and nods repeatedly.
It's a very good idea to have a good time. I will accept the task of guarding you.
Also, I need to know where the hot springs are.
............ Nagi really likes to take a bath. ......
I can't help it, I'm Japanese.
In the original world, there was no time to go on a hot spring trip.
You can relax at least when you come to a hot spring resort in another world.
I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.
I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.
I apologize for not being able to formally greet you earlier. I'm Matilda, a servant of the Lady Iris-Hapheumea.
The maid, standing in the middle of the road, bowed deeply to me and Rita.
It's an ambush, right? This.
''Miss Iris wishes to invite you to join us. Could you please accompany us to the mansion?
We were just helping a couple of downed ladies.
I return a mild rejection.
Let's see how you react to this first.
'I'll just accept your kindness.'
I understand that one of your men is in poor health.
...... So there you are.
You're early. I see you've already collected all the information.
How did you know?
I don't know who the innkeeper is, but I've heard rumors.
I heard a chunk in the maid's hand.
When I looked closely, a silver coin was sticking out of her hand.
I see. Isn't there a concept of personal information protection in the inn of the fantasy world? I think that's right.
I'm prepared to lend you a remote room in Hapheumea's villa. I think you'll feel more comfortable than being in this raggedy - excuse me, a place where people come and go.
The proposal.
That's not a bad deal.
A nobleman's house should have better security than an inn.
I'd appreciate it if we could get the Lady's soldiers involved in the event of an attack by the Living Mail's people. It's a basic tactic in the game that you should keep your forces focused.
But there are things that bother me.
'Why are you willing to go that far?'
I thought nobles were supposed to be more important than that.
All the nobles I've met in my life, with the exception of Letitia, have been like that.
”Since it is unusual for Lady Iris to take an interest in a stranger, it is not uncommon for Lady Iris to take an interest in someone else, so I would prefer that she leave the drifter adventurers to their own devices and pay them the proper amount of money.
With that, the maid drew the medallion of the contract from her collar.
'To entertain you all. I have also been instructed by Iris-sama to allow you your freedom and that you may 'contract' with her.
In the name of Irgapha Lord's daughter, Iris-Hafeumea, I would like to ask you to accompany me. Unexplained adventurer - no, benefactor.
