Witch
We were able to rescue Allen and safely returned to the dorm.
“Ah. W-Welcome back!”
Ester-chan was still waiting in my room.
I looked around for her entourage but saw no sign of them. Sophichan was the only one here besides Ester-chan. Regrettable.
By the way, I parted with Mercedes-chan once we left the slums. A lot had happened today and she was tired, so she’s returned to the Order. There was also no reason in particular for her to come back with me.
“What a relief. Allen, your safe.”
“Sorry, Ester. I caused so much trouble for you all.”
The lolibitch looked relieved when she saw Allen was unharmed. I’m sure that her concern for Allen is the only reason she’s still here. I’m not sure exactly how to describe it, but she seems happy from the bottom of her heart.
When I saw her react like this, I wondered if she regretted abandoning Allen. However, my virgin mind was unable to understand a girl’s feelings. She’ll probably return to the ikemen soon anyway, just like I expected.
As I was thinking this, I noticed her eyes had moved from the ikemen back to my ugly face.
“Thank you. Because of you, I didn’t lose an important friend.”
“It wasn’t just me. Mercedes-chan helped too.”
“I’ll have to thank her too. Was it hard on you?”
She looked up at me with her eyes dazzling.
When I thought back on what happened in that abandoned house, I felt a little sorry for Ester-chan. She was worried about Allen yet he was being pleasured by a beautiful woman. I’m still envious of him.
“Umm, i-in order to save me, Tanaksan had to make a difficult choice.”
Allen unexpectedly spoke up.
The difficult choice he’s referring to is probably me choosing not to join up with the other escapees. It seems that he thinks this is the only reason he’s alive.
“It was my decision to make.”
“But such a thing wouldn’t have.”
“How about we both make an agreement. Saying anything to anyone about what happened today won’t help either of us. I promise that I won’t tell anyone what I saw or heard in that house. Will you do the same?”
“Yes, I understand!”
He gave me a big nod.
I guess he is embarrassed about what happened.
I’d be proud.
A beautiful woman tied him up and had her way with him.
“I-I’m guessing I shouldn’t ask.”
“I’m sorry. This is a secret between men.”
I was trying to avoid Ester-chan hearing us but she was able to pick up on a few of our words and guess what we were talking about. However, it wouldn’t do Allen any good if someone found out about what that robed woman did to him and I’ll happily use this to keep him quiet.
What happened in that house should stay between us. It can never come out.
“If that’s how it is, I-I guess it can’t be helped.”
“Sorry, Ester. I really don’t want to keep a secret from you.”
“I don’t really mind. I have a few things I’ve never told you about.”
“R-Really?”
“Yeah.”
There are times when Ester-chan really can’t show any tact.
I actually felt sorry for Allen for a moment.
But then I felt that familiar sense of superiority once more.
Then, the living room door suddenly opened.
Sophie had entered the room with steam coming off her body. She was completely naked except for a small towel wrapped around her body. Her hair was still wet and it and her towel clung to her body.
“I’m coming in.”
“Sophie-san?”
The towel was just barely covering her chest and I could almost make out the edge of her nipple. On top of this, even with the towel on a lot of her thighs were still exposed. If the towel is moved slightly up, I’ll be able to see more than just her thighs and if it’s moved down, I’ll be able to see her chest. It’s making me so excited.
“Hey, p-put on your clothes!”
“I thought it would just be you and that maid. I figured you wouldn’t mind.”
“Sophia and I don’t want to see you naked!”
This bitch. She definitely heard Allen and came out dressed like that on purpose. She should’ve been able to hear my voice to and yet she still came out dressed like that. Not that I care about this nonvirgin.
“What’s going on here so late at night?”
There’s no reason for this girl to come to my room without a reason.
Rather, recently, I’ve started to feel like my dorm has become a place to hang out for everyone.
I don’t mind. Pretty girls make me happy.
“I heard that you were granted the title of baron recently.”
“Oh, you heard about that?”
Though, I haven’t actually received it yet.
“I came to celebrate.”
“Well, if that’s all, thank you but we’re really busy.”
It seems that this time she’s saying she’s here for me instead of Allen.
So she came running the moment she heard I was going to get a position amongst the nobility. Well, she’s going to be disappointed. Even though I’ve been promised that position, I’d say I’m still far from actually getting it. That old Prime Minister is up to something and I don’t expect it to go smoothly.
“You came to celebrate but you didn’t bring anything?”
Ester-chan spoke up.
Maybe she’s still not over Sophie-chan sleeping with Allen without her.
“I did bring something.”
“then, where is it?”
Could this be what I’m imagining? This is a celebration for me. Is she going to drop the towel and wrap her naked body around me? The fabled naked bitch bomb. It’s something I was hoping to experience at least once before I die.
“I gave it to that maid there.”
“Y-Yes! I have it!”
“You gave it to her earlier.”
It seemed so close, yet the reality is much tamer.
Then, why is she in that towel?
Please, allow me to have it for a night before you wash it.
“Yeah, I was here earlier when Ester was pacing around the room worried about him.”
“Y-Y-You don’t have to say that!”
“Umm, s-should I bring in his gift?”
