Chapter 81: Breakfast
At sunrise, Aquim-kun's body, which was in a sleeping state, is shifted to an active state.
"Yare, yare, it was a hard night's sleep."
Aquim-kun smiled and got off the bed. Then, with a sound, he stepped on an insect.
"Tch, let's take a bath first. After that, I'll tell Laura to clean the room."
I thought, but is it a little dangerous for Laura-san?
"With her, she'll die immediately."
Aquim-kun mutters and then looks around the room. More than a hundred dead insects lie on the floor. This creature, which looks much like a scorpion, is a poisonous insect that lives on the Dark Continent, and if this many of them were released into the city, a small portion would be destroyed in less than three days. I believe its name is...... well, let's just call it Poison Scorpion-san.
"But, this one is surprisingly delicious."
Aquim-kun picked up a relatively clean one of the dead Poison Scorpion-san on the floor and threw it into his mouth.
Crunch*, crunch*. Crunch*, crunch*.
Mhh~. Juicy. The aromatic taste of poison released from the body of Poison Scorpion-san with each bite. Aquim-kun's body, which I created, dies in an instant and is brought back to life again with my power. Ahhh. This feeling of life and death mixing inside me, it's the best. It's a good thing I didn't obliterate these poisonous scorpions in an instant last night when they entered my room.
"Let's have one more."
Aquim-kun picks up Poison Scorpion-san nearby again.
Crunch*, crunch*. Crunch*, crunch*.
Umu~. Let's eat one more, just one more.
Crunch*, crunch*. Crunch*, crunch*.
Mhh~!! N-not good. I can't stop. Just one more scorpion and the next one will be the last. And while I was doing this, Aquim-kun ended up eating all the poisonous scorpions in the room.
Well, these poisonous scorpions are dangerous creatures that continue to emit deadly poison even after they die, and if I didn't do this, Laura-san would have died when she entered the room. It is not that Aquim-kun was a glutton. It's not thatーー
"That was seriously good."
Aquim-kun looks around the room to see if Poison Scorpion-san is still lying around, but unfortunately, it seems I have eaten all of them.
"Tch, it can't be helped."
Aquim-kun let out a sigh and left the room to take a bath... I was planning to, butーー
"Ah? A barrier?"
Is it to keep the poisonous scorpion out? A well-made barrier was set up outside Aquim-kun's room.
Fumu. This is a barrier that uses a very rare magic tool. Aina-san would probably be able to break it, but Elana-san and Mina-san might not be able to. Well, of course, such a thing has no effect on Aquim-kun.
"Really, who is playing such a prank?"
Aquim-kun clicked his tongue toward that troublesome person and passed through the barrier.
...
"Ah!? Aquim-sama, you're back. Good morning."
As soon as Aquim-kun arrived at the dining table after a refreshing bath, Noroliana-san came from the living room. She was dressed in the same butler's uniform as Aina-san, but she was quite undressed, and her shirt was wide open, revealing her bosom. She had never been interested in fashion before being embraced by Aquim-kun, but now she has stopped wearing round glasses and her hair has changed from pigtails to an attractive wavy style.
"Yo, bitch. You're in a good mood. Did you happen to have a guy in your room with you?"
"No way, Aquim-sama. There's no way I can bring a man into this mansion. I'm just happy to meet you, Aquim-sama."
There is an unspoken rule that men are not allowed in Aquim-kun's mansion unless there are special circumstances. This is not something that Aquim-kun instructed, but it is something that Maroana-san has been taking care of on her own.
"Good morning, Aquim-sama. Can I, sit beside you?"
Following Noroliana-san from the living room was Norona-san, a fellow spellcaster and senior colleague of Noroliana-san's.
Unlike Noroliana-san, who wears a butler outfit, Norona-san is the exclusive spellcaster, so naturally, she is not wearing a butler's outfit, but rather her usual attire of a black shirt and white coat.
"Yep, that's fine. It's been a long time since we've seen each other. How about it? Want to do one round?"
Aquim-kun uses his magic to pull Norona-san to sit next to him, and puts his hands on her shoulders. Then, he plays with Norona-san's slender legs and breasts as much as he likes.
Rub*, rub*. Rub*, rub*.
"Nhh. I'd prefer not to do it in public if possible...... Ah ❤, but, well, if you want to do it, I'm fine with it."
"Ah~. Not fair. Not fair. I want to have sex with Aquim-sama too."
"Keh, don't rush, don't rush. I'll give you plenty of love if I feel like it."
"You made a promise, right? I'm not satisfied at all with other men's small penises, so I'm very frustrated."
As a result of having her virginity forcibly shattered by Aquim-kun, Noroliana-san, the only bitch in Aquim-kun's mansion, has completely become a sex maniac. While listening to Noroliana-san's complaints, Mina-san came to the dining room.
"Yo, Mina. It's a nice morning. How about you? After this, want to do one round with me?"
“…………”
Mina-san looked at Aquim-kun coldly as if she were looking at garbage, and sat down on the seat farthest away from Aquim-kun. Incidentally, it is Aquim-kun's order that the shy Mina-san would have breakfast at the same time as Aquim-kun. It is a rule that everyone who lives in Aquim-kun's mansion has to do unless there is a special reason (otherwise, Aquim-kun would not be able to enjoy his harem to the fullest).
"Uwa~. Mina-chi's still has a big attitude. Hey, Aquim-sama, why are you forgiving Mina-chi's attitude? If you want, I'll discipline her!"
"Keh, don't be silly. Mina is just a shy girl, but in fact, she is in love with me. She's always shaking her hips in bed, begging for more."
“Seriously? That Mina-chi? As expected of Aquim-sama."
"Right? Right? Hahaha."
Aquim-kun is laughing broadly. Just then, Eluina-san came in.
"Good morning, Onii-sama. I brought you your meal."
Behind Eluina-san, Maroana-san and Laura-san, dressed in maid's uniforms, are pushing a wagon with dishes. Normally, Mina-san helps Laura-san and the others, but Maroana-san, the head maid, probably decided to give her the day off today out of consideration for Mina-san's body, which had been tending to Kurai-san until yesterday.
"Ah, Eluina. I've been waiting. You all know her name, but this is my sister, Eluina. Naturally, she's in a higher position than you guys, so don't take advantage of her. Especially Noroliana."
“I know that. Even I am not stupid enough to do something to Aquim-sama's sister."
Noroliana-san answered aloofly. And Norona-san stood up.
"Nice to meet you, Eluina-sama. I'm Norona, the spellcaster who signed an exclusive contract with Aquim-sama. Pleased to make your acquaintance"
"Noroliana here. Unfortunately, I am not a spellcaster, but a butler in the employ of Aquim-sama, so please feel free to ask me anything you need."
By the way, the reason Noroliana-san does not have an exclusive contract with Aquim-kun is simply because of the rule that an individual can only contract with one spellcaster.
Normally, Aquim-kun would use his authority to do whatever he wanted, but in this country, spellcasters are treated very well, so it is difficult to intervene with authorities.
Well, it was still not impossible to push it, but it would have been foolish to hasten my battle with Floria. So, as a last resort, I hired Noroliana-san not as a spellcaster but as a butler. (As expected of Aquim-kun, you're smart~).
"Nice to meet you, I am Eluina, whom Onii-sama has just introduced. I am happy to see so many wonderful women like you around my brother, but at the same time, I am very surprised. If it is possible, please get along well with Onii-sama."
"Same here. I'd appreciate it if you'd treat me well."
"Nice to meet you."
As Eluina-san bowed her head, the two spellcasters bowed their heads as well. Then Noroliana-san suddenly turned her gaze to Mina, who was sitting by herself, looking unconcerned.
"Hey Mina-chi. How about you say hello too?"
"...Don't involve me, it's annoying."
“Ah? Did you say something? I didn't hear you very well, so I'm sorry, can you repeat that?"
"I said it bothers me. Don't make me say it again."
"Bring it on, you bastard."
The curse power rising from Noroliana-san's entire body dims the room.
"...Annoying."
The cold air emitted from Mina-san's body rapidly lowered the temperature of the room.
And so, the gazes of the two people scattered sparks.
Fuu. What a wonderful atmosphere it is early in the morning. The harem in Aquim-kun's mind is for everyone getting along, and I thought of aiming for that at first, but after all, respecting everyone's free will is what's important as an elder (good, do more of that).
"Well, both of you, please calm down. Thank you for your consideration, Noroliana-san. However, Mina-senpai and I are acquainted since our time at the academy, so she didn't need to introduce herself again."
"Is that so? If Eluina-sama says so, it can't be helped."
Nororiana-san shrugged her shoulders lightly, withdrew her curse power and sat back in her chair. Seeing that, Mina-san also stopped the cold air.
Unfortunately, it didn't turn into a fight, but the living room is filled with a wonderful, tense atmosphere. Meanwhileーー
"Waa, it's Aquim Onii-chan. Onii-chan, good morning."
An out-of-place, carefree voice echoed through the dining room.
Eyes of different colors on the left and right. A girl, five or so years old, ran to Aquim-kun, shaking her long black hair.
"Yo, Draco, did you wake up by yourself? (Agid, your character is still too young, you know?)"
"Um, um, Draco couldn't wake up by herself. Laura Onee-chan woke me up. (Fuu. Master, are you jealous of the sheer cuteness of this Draco I play?)"
"Keh, how pathetic. Next time you'll have to wake up by yourself. Oi, Laura. Don't spoil Draco (Jealous? Fufufu. What are you talking about? Can I take that as a challenge to Aquim-kun, who I play?)"
“Yep. I understand, Aquim Onii-chan! Draco will do her best (Challenge? You've been sleeping for 300 years, Master. How can such a ruffian win against such a pretty little girl? It's no contest.)"
"Y-yes. I'm sorry."
Agid responds cheerfully and Laura-san bows her head apologetically. Aquim-kun nodded to them both in a hawkish manner.
"Good if you understand (Apparently, Agid, I need you to tell me how much you love Aquim-kun)."
"Onii-sama? Onii-sama's education is admirable, but Draco-chan is still young, so Laura-sen... wouldn't it be easier if Laura-san was watching over her?"
Eluina-san reads the mood and followed up with Laura-san there. Eluina-san is really a good little sister.
"Okay. Let's eat now. Before my cute sister's home cooking gets cold."
"No way, saying cute. I'm so happy, Onii-sama. I put a lot of effort into cooking today's meal for you, who I haven't seen in a while. I'm sorry for everyone else, but today's breakfast is special just for Onii-sama. If you could, please eat the whole thing without sharing it with the others, okay?"
"I'm the only one who gets special treatment, that's good. Don't worry. It's my cute sister's home-cooked food. I won't give it to anyone else. (Fufufu. What do you think? Agid. A special dish just for Aquim-kun. You should eat your children's food.)
When Aquim-kun gave her a grinning look, Agid ran over to Laura-san, who was serving the food, and hugged her.
"Kya!? Mou, kora. It's dangerous, Draco-chan. Don't hug people who are working."
"Hey, Laura Onee-chan. Laura Onee-chan cooked our food, right?"
"Hmm~? That's right. Me and Maroana-san made it. Eat it all, okay?"
“Yeah. I'll never leave anything behind. Because Laura Onee-chan and Maroana Onee-chan's food is so delicious. (Kukuku, Foolish, Master is utterly foolish. These bitches' cooking is quite good. I don't care if she's your sister or not, but there's no way she can beat these. Master should be alone with his love.)
While Agid was talking about my defeat with her thoughts, a dish was brought in front of Aquim-kun. The meat was placed on a large plate.
Ah~. To be honest, after eating Poison Scorpion-san, I wasn't expecting much, but this looks delicious.
"Uwa~. It's a bold dish, isn't it? I mean, what is this? What is that aromatic smell? It looks really delicious."
Noroliana-san shouted enviously. On the other hand, Norona-san, who was sitting next to me, was also looking at Eluina-san's cooking and made a very scary face for just a moment (I won't give it to you, you know?).
"Hehehe. This is going to be a good one."
Aquim-kun gracefully carved the meat using a knife and fork, and quickly brought it to his mouth.
Munch*, munch*. Munch*, munch*.
Munch*, munch*. Munch*, munch*.
T-This is!? Oh, oh, ooーー
"Delicious!! As expected of my little sister. This dish is delicious."
The more I chew, the more juices overflow. They contain a curse that petrifies Aquim-kun's cells one after the other, but the curse is lifted each time by the power of the Daimaou, me.
The result is an intense mix of stillness and motion within me. Umu. This taste differed from simple poison. There is no doubt about it. This meat is...... cockatrice.
"Waa. The meat Aquim Onii-chan is eating looks delicious (Cockatrice meat? I like it too. Why is something like that in a place like this!?)."
"Super delicious, it's Eluina's cooking after all (Fuu. This is the difference in love, love. It seems that there was no need to compete, right?)."
Cockatrice is a rare species that lives in the far reaches of the Dark Continent. You can't just pile up a lot of money to get a piece of its meat. It is only possible to obtain it by making full use of the connections in human society. To be honest, even though he is a knight of light, Aquim-kun, who is still young and lacking in human connections, will not be able to obtain it.
To make breakfast with such a rare item shows how much Aquim-kun is loved.
"Hey, Eluina Onee-chan. I want the same thing as Aquim Onii-chan. (This is unexpected. What kind of seasoning do they put on cockatrice meat? I'd like to try that dish too.)"
Eluina-san makes an apologetic face at Agid who is whining.
"I'm sorry, Draco-chan. That meat is very rare, and there's only one."
"That's right. Draco (no~. Love (smile) is really delicious~)."
"Eh, no way~ (GUAAAA!!)"
While the dragon howled in its heart, Agid, who was not ready to give up, slumped her shoulders and looked up at Eluina-san with tear-stained eyes.
"Hey, Eluina Onee-chan. This time, can you make me the same meat as that?"
"I'm sorry. It's impossible to prepare the same meat, but I'll prepare delicious meat that can't be beaten by that."
"Uwaa. I wanted to eat that meat. (T-to refuse a little girl's request, you're a demon. Gununu. This woman makes me want to eat her when I know I can't eat her. Master, I'll go to the Dark Continent for a bit. I'm going to go hunt some cockatrices."
"Hehehe. Draco, you're crying. (There's no way I'll allow that, you, l・o・s・e・r)"
"Uwaaaーーー!!! Laura Onee-chan. Aquim Onii-chan is mean to me."
Agid jumps on Laura-san's shoulders, showing off her leg strength, and I can't help but say, "No, even though you're just a little girl, you're jumping too high".
Laura-san opened her eyes wide and Mina-san narrowed her eyes.
"Eh? Eh!? A-Aquim-senpai? Um, please don't bully Draco-chan too much."
"Yes. Yes. Understood. Understood."
Aquim-kun responded appropriately, but he was still enjoying Eluina-san's cooking with Agid's crying face as a side dish. Eluina-san was staring at Aquim-kun with a very nice smile as he was eating in such a manly manner. Her body still smells as good as it did when I met her yesterday, and it is constantly stimulating my appetite.
Seriously, Eluina-san is a really, really good little sister.
Must have been quite the effort to go through the trouble of getting scorpions for that assassination attempt. Not that it was effective, subtle or hid who the perpetrator is, but effort wise appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it the sister who did it?
