Chapter 203 - New Home, and a Bath (Slightly Lucky☆)
After dinner, Claire and Marmie left. The One-Hand Family and Mateo Trading Company had both transitioned to new management. The two must be busy.
Going upstairs, I found a bleak space. There was only a bed and a small desk. I’ll have to furnish it.
"There’s an ice room behind this house. Moe used magic to create ice, so we can store food."
Right now, only me and Fam are left in this building. The other members moved to the building that Mizuki suggested.
"Are you sure you don’t need your own room?"
"Yes. This is fine."
"This room is big. We could put up a partition to create a room for Fam."
"Does Master-sama want to be alone?"
I was taken aback by the counter-question. In my original world, there were entertainments for being alone—tinkering with my phone, watching videos, reading books, or reading manga. But there’s nothing like that in this world.
Moreover, the amount of light is overwhelmingly insufficient at night, and the darkness feels deep. And I’ve gotten used to the warmth of Fam sleeping next to me. I recall the loneliness when I came to this world and the relief when she started sleeping next to me.
"No, I don’t want to be alone anymore."
"You definitely won’t be alone."
She nodded deeply.
"Good, that settles it. Fam, take off your clothes."
"I-If you’re going to do something like that, please approach me more gently!"
"That’s not what I meant. From our conversation, I’ve decided Mizuki, Myla, and Moe, who tried to isolate me, are unforgivable. I’m going to crash their bath and cause chaos!"
"...If you do that, they’ll only say they want their alone time even more!"
"Hmm, rebellious. Fine, I’ll go alone."
"Even if you do, why do you have to take off your clothes here?!"
"In the world I came from, there’s a military treatise called Sun Tzu’s Art of War, which has the saying, ‘A swift victory is the best.’ It means that if I’m going to rudelyburst into the enemy camp naked, it’s cleaner to start out naked to begin with."
I took off my jacket and then my pants.
"I haven’t read it, but I understand what you mean. That’s totally wrong!"
While she was interjecting, I stripped naked.
"If you insist, I’ll go by myself. I’ll wash you later with laundry magic, so Fam, stay behind and guard the place."
"...I have no choice. Understood. I’ll go with you."
She resigned and started taking off her clothes, so I waited.
I watched her stripping diligently.
"Fam."
"Y-Yes?"
"Aren’t you embarrassed?"
"Of course I’m embarrassed!"
She turned her back to me.
I went outside. It was pitch black. We didn’t prepare anything like a porch light, so I should buy one someday. For now, I have to rely on the light spilling out of the building. Next time I’ll ask Marmie to teach me lighting magic.
"Fam, let’s go!"
"W-Wait!"
Fam stopped me as I tried to run off.
"Getting cold feet? It’s too late for that!"
"No. You’re heading outside. If someone sees you, they’ll report you."
It seems that walking around naked in public is also against public morals in this world.
Pointed out by her, I turned and ran in the opposite direction. Soon, I saw a building. This property is smaller than I thought. However, thanks to the exquisite arrangement of trees and the winding paths, it feels spacious.
This is Mizuki and Myla’s building. Marmie and Patricia are further back, and the two buildings behind those are vacant. The furthest building is the bathhouse.
Peeking inside from a small window where light leaked out, I saw that the room was divided with thick curtains in front of the fireplace. In front of that were a two-seater table, a bed, and a chest of drawers lined up. The candlelit room was warm and not as bleak as my room. The back of the partition had no lights on and no signs of people. That means they’re in the bath. Turning back from the window, Fam was standing awkwardly, hiding her chest and groin with her hands.
"Fam… you look like an exhibitionist pervert."
"Whose fault is that?!"
She raised her voice so much that I instinctively covered her mouth. Perhaps because she was surprised by my reaction, some leaves rustled, and I heard the flapping of a bird’s wings.Waiting silently for the bird to fly away, silence returned. I released the hand covering her mouth and sighed.
"Mizuki and the others aren’t in their rooms. They must be in the bath. Let’s hurry."
"...How can you say such serious lines while being naked?"
We arrived in front of the bathhouse. Light was leaking out, so someone was definitely inside. I put my hand on the door. It didn’t seem locked. Careless. I signaled Fam to charge using Pata-Pata Language without making a sound.
"?"
She just tilted her head, apparently not understanding. I thought Mizuki and Fam would learn Pata-Pata Language earlier, but surprisingly, I’ve mastered it in leaps and bounds. It’s probably the result of my efforts to become close with Claire as quickly as possible. She was still covering her chest and groin with her arms and hands.
"Fam."
"Y-Yes?"
"Aren’t you tempted to see what’s underneath?"
"It’s definitely tempting!"
I refrained from doing anything since I would be heard inside. Fam was still hiding with her arms and hands. I resisted the urge to take them away and see what was hidden. My curiosity would only lead to a situation where they would hear everything inside.
"There’s a changing room when you enter, and the bath is at the back."
Fam whispered in my ear. Her breath brushed past my ear, and our skin touched as we huddled together. I wanted to push her down because I felt that soft skin, but I endured it.
It was a heavy wooden door, but it opened silently when I pushed it. It must have been maintained well. Inside, it was a changing room just as she said. When I checked the clothes, there were three sets of clothes in the basket. Marmie must also be there since I didn’t check the other building. I casually took out underwear from Mizuki’s clothes and put it on Fam’s head. They were glossy and had a strange luxuriousness. It was probably bought from Rakshell’s online store. I confirmed the texture while sticking my ears out from the two empty holes.
"If you’re going to put them on me, please put them on my lower half instead of my head!"
She protested with a clearly unhappy look. I stopped her lips with my index finger.
"It’s bath-crashing etiquette. Besides, it suits you."
I casually took out underwear from another basket and put it on my head. They were unfamiliar underwear, but there was no tulip embroidery. It must be Myla’s. Fam’s gaze was cold, but I ignored it.
"Alright, let’s go."
As I reached for the door to the bath, Fam grabbed my hand.
"Wait. Give me your phone."
I still don’t quite understand what she’s thinking.
"It has a waterproof feature, but be careful, it might break if you get it wet."
I took out my phone from storage and handed it to her, and then opened the door to the bath.
It was covered in steam, and visibility was bad. I had imagined stone tiles and wooden bathtubs, but it was a rocky bath made of rough rock. However, none of that mattered now. I dashed across the concrete floor and jumped into the bathtub in one go, hugging someone from behind and grabbing their chest.
"Mizuki, Divine Punishment!"
A slender, white nape with smooth, feminine curves, and the soft feel of a fluffy chest. However, it wasn’t the usuall heavy sensation. It’s not Mizuki. It’s bigger than Myla, but it’s not the flat Marmie either. I groped and considered the sensation.
"This is… not B… It’s C, is it?"
And belatedly, I noticed that vines were growing mixed into her hair.
"I see. So these are Patricia’s breasts, amazing."
"Kyaaaaaah!"
Patricia screamed and hit me with her fist bone. Fam was also hit with a fist bone, and for some reason, Marmie and Mizuki were also hit with fist bones.
"H-How come you’re suddenly barging in?!"
She took out a towel and hid her body.
"Hey, bringing a towel into the bathtub is bad manners!"
"Well, if you’re going to say that, not washing off your body before bathing is also bad manners! And Mash has a towel on his head… huh? That towel… isn’t that my underwear?!"
I was hit again with my knuckles. Fam quickly escaped to the washing area, but Mizuki and Marmie, who had nowhere to escape, were hit again.
"What do you plan to do by doing this?! You won’t be able to get married!"
She raised her eyebrows and glared at me. Marmie, as if to appease her, lightly patted her shoulder.
"...I forgot to mention, Patricia’s marriage has already been decided, so don’t worry."
"Eh, is that so?"
Patricia turned towards Marmie.
"...If you want to know, I’ll tell you."
"Wait."
Before Patricia could react, I interrupted.
"Myla isn’t here. I thought Mizuki, Myla, and Marmie were here, so I crashed in."
"Myla took the Crystal Core to the church. She said she would be staying overnight and coming back tomorrow."
Mizuki replied. As I moved closer to her, she shifted her position, moving her butt away as if trying to escape.
"I see. So Myla was busy while calling herself busy. What Lacshell did to destroy the cathedral had more impact on the church than I thought."
"Of course. The reason she follows Mash is also an order from the church."
The current situation seems to show that Lacshell is denying the church. My act of approaching her shows that the relationship between god and church is still strong. While thinking about that, I reached out to Mizuki’s chest and was splashed with hot water.
"I wanted to ask you when you calmed down, but this is a lifelong problem. Could you tell me?"
Patricia asked Marmie as her doubts were resolved.
"...Together with me. I’m going to marry Mash."
"Eeeeh!"
Mizuki also screamed along with Patricia.
"I wanted someone kind and strong who was around my age, tall, and slim, not a pervert who puts my underwear on his head!"
Patricia screamed.
"That’s too much! I’m certainly an old man, and I’m not tall. Moreover, it’s true that I round down and lie about it, but I’m still slightly above the average height. Besides, if I summon Racshell, I’m strong, and if you ask someone of the opposite gender about my good points, they’ll always answer that I’m ‘kind.’"
"That’s a word people say when they can’t find anything good to praise…"
Mizuki retorted with sharp words.
"Mizuki, are you going to say that as my good point too?"
Her tone clearly had a tone of pity mixed in. To prevent her from saying any more, I hugged her. And grabbed her breast. The sensation I was looking for was there. I tickled the tip with my index finger.
"...Ehhh."
Mizuki tried to escape, turning her back to me. She had tied her hair in a bun to prevent it from getting wet, so her white nape was visible. A slender, stretched-out neck. She’s beautiful no matter where I look. I buried my face there as if to capture her.
"M-Mash… I feel something hard against my back."
" lokalIt’s inevitable. I came here with intentions of entering you."
"Are you serious here? The water will get in!"
As she tried to crawl and escape, I nailed her from behind. There was no foreplay, but she seemed to be sufficiently wet, and it went smoothly to the deepest part. I was enveloped in a soft, Warm sensation different from the hot water. And as usual, it clung tightly.
"Awdh, w-wait, it’s in. It’s in!"
I lifted Mizuki, who tried to escape even more, and became a back seat position.
"Lord Mo, I still don’t want to marry Mash."
I was so focused on Mizuki that I almost forgot about Patricia. She was watching me and Mizuki with a flushed face. Mizuki is shaved. Even through the water, the connecting area must be clearly visible. A tulip that hadn’t bloomed until then blossomed on her head.
"...It’s a pain to find someone else. Besides, there’s the slave mark. If you really don’t like it, you can divorce. At that time, I’ll ask Mother to find someone else for you."
Patricia shook her head to Marmie’s words.
"No. That’s not the problem. Mash is someone that Lord Mo chose himself. I know that he will give me the best thing he can give. I’m also a little attracted. If you weren’t the kind of person who breaks into the bath with my underwear on your head, I would have liked you even more. But, it’s not possible. Mash loves me and Lord Mo equally and without discrimination. I understand that it is a virtue that Mash has. But, that is beyond my status."
Patricia put on a bitter expression.
"...Understood. Then, for now, let’s have a trial period."
"In that period, you’ll be messed with so much that there’s no way to recover!"
"...Patricia. An otherworldly hero has come to Migul. The church, Starunion family, and One-Hand family have changed in less than a week, and the SkyNorth family is trying to do the same. If the three families change, this city will change. The hero may not want it, but we are about to change according to his values. I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. But God wants that. I want you to see it with me."
"Lord Mo… I understand. So, for now, let’s have a trial period."
While the two were staring at each other, I couldn’t resist and moved my hips a little. Mizuki couldn’t help but moan. Next to her, Fam, who had finished washing her body, came into the bathtub. The situation was chaotic. I wished they had told me beforehand if they were going to have such serious talk. I can read the atmosphere too. While thinking that, I moved my hips again.
