Episode 23: Events at my Parents' House 3
They say bad things often coincide, but that may have been made up from real-life experiences.
It was the day before the expedition, a few weeks after the head of the family took the trouble to nail me to the wall.
After seeing that the expedition preparations were finished, the head of the Fregrance family temporarily left and was replaced by the young lady of the Fregrance family, who appeared at my parents' house a short time later.
"Do you parent and daughter enjoy causing trouble for others......?"
"W-what do you mean by "causing trouble"!"
We were in public, but our conversation was exactly the same as our relationship in bed. Our servants looked at each other curiously. Among them, especially the maid Glass, who is Lady Ritia's maid, is staring at me like crazy.
However, we are only close in conversation, and the distance between us is strangely far apart. Strictly speaking, the maid Glass who has been staring at me since a while ago, and the young lady is physically far away from me.
"Um, why are you hiding behind the maid?"
"T-that's... that."
Lady Ritia's face instantly turned bright red and she began to mumble, a change from her usual strong manner.
"Ojousama. If it's difficult for you to say, I'll......"
Glass, unable to bear the sight of the young lady, opened her mouth.
"No, I'll do the talking, you keep silent, Glass."
"Yes, I understand."
I don't know what they're talking about, the interaction between Lady Ritia and the Maid, Glass. I don't care what they would do, but I don't want them to just come to someone's house without notice and then have a private exchange between the two of them.
"But...... it's impossible right now. Maybe, talk later?"
"I hope that's okay."
"No, I'm curious, so please tell me now......"
I want you to tell me now because if you leave it for later and keep it from me, that's all I would think about for a whole day.
"That's right, Ojousama."
"-! I-I understand. I'll just say it, right, right!"
The young lady, who had been hiding behind Glass in desperation, stepped forward.
But I know from experience that the young lady is not very nice in this kind of situation.
"I'm sorry about the other day!"
"Eh, ah, yes."
As I tilted my head and wondered what she was talking about, the young lady kept on fidgeting and muttered.
"......I'm sorry I forced myself on you in Royal Capital."
"Huh…………. eh, ahh!"
It took me a while to understand until I was told about Royal Capital......
That night in Royal Capital when I was pushed down for some strange reason like men feel better when they are in pain.
"By the way, I was the one who taught her that."
"No, I didn't hear that. I mean, don't tell Ojousama about your special habit."
I don't want you to teach your perverted preferences to the Ojousama who has little experience and has only been held by me. You know how much trouble I went through because of that......
"When I asked one of the concubines, she told me that information."
Aside from Ojousama, why doesn't this maid, the one who taught her, seem to feel bad at all? Or rather.......
"That implied that the master's hidden preference is to be dominated, right? No, you're telling me something, dude."
I really didn't care if that old head of the family liked to be hurt or not, and I would rather not have known. I want to erase it from my memory right now.
Ojousama's maid just stared at me with a sour expression on her face.
However, Ojousama, who had been left out, raised her voice.
"Hey, I'm apologizing right now!"
"Ah? Ah, yes. I know...... so don't say anymore, okay?"
Frankly, this is not something we should talk about in a public place. If this is the case, I shouldn't have asked.
"So you'll forgive me?"
"Eh, well, yes."
When I said that, the young lady sat down dazedly on the spot with a loud sigh.
To be honest, I didn't care that much about it, and I didn't remember much about it until she told me, or rather, what I do remember is her cute expression during and at the end of our sex. And I don't want to mention that.
"So, did you come all the way here to tell me that?"
"N-no, it's not!"
"Then what the hell do you want? We've finally settled down over here, and I can't wait to get some rest......"
Piles and piles of documents, orders to conscript the people and to procure weapons, ammunition, and food, and borrowing money from merchants for that purpose.
I had not even been able to sleep well for the past few days since I started to push myself. I honestly think that I would prefer to deal with the troublesome young lady at a later date.
"It's a discussion, a discussion. Didn't you hear anything from father?"
"Huh?"
Preparations have already been made. So what more is there to discuss?
"I'm going with you to the battle. I'm here to discuss it with your parents."
"…………You must be kidding, right?"
For a moment, my head was empty.
I managed to squeeze out a question, to which the young lady affirmed in a perfectly normal manner with her head held high.
"Why? I mean, are you people from the mainland a bunch of idiots?"
"Hey, you're going too far, you know?"
The young lady criticized me for saying that. No, it can't be helped, or rather, I want her to stop saying those things.
"......Why? Or rather, how could the head of the family allow it?"
I cleared my throat and suddenly remembered that idiotic head of the family. I don't think that that head of the family, who hid his love for his daughter from everyone but doesn't even try to hide it from me, would allow it.
"Forgive me, father told me to come with you."
".........Really what are you and your father thinking?"
I've thought this before, but it doesn't make sense when you love your daughter so much but shun her at the oddest places.
As I was getting frustrated, the young lady unexpectedly closed the distance between us.
The sweet, milky smell that wafted through the air tickled my nose and made my heart ripple a little.
But the young lady whispered it in my ear.
"(It means, were going to do it while on the expedition.)"
"Eh?"
"(That...... if the expedition took too long, you and I won't be able to have sex, right? So......)"
Apparently, that's where the truth of the matter lies.
The young lady blushed slightly and seemed very reluctant to say anything. But the fact is that she also seems to be expecting it, which is a delusion caused by my self-consciousness, isn't it? Right?
That meant that on this expedition, I will have to have sex with Lady Ritia instead of being on the frontlines.
Originally, the head of the family said he had no intention of letting me join this war. Maybe he was planning to let me have sex with the young lady all the while.
"I think you're being a little hasty. If something happens to Ojousama, it would be more trouble than giving birth to a successor......"
I'm sure she didn't want that. I was about to say that but stopped myself.
The Fregrances probably sent her to me even though they anticipated the worst-case scenario, that the young lady would die in battle.
Even if the young lady dies, the Fregrances have a replacement. The Fregrances are not blessed with male children, but they have more daughters than they can count on two hands.
They have already prepared for the worst-case scenario, but they still want an heir.
Such was the main family's intention in my mind.
"Is the successor more important than your own daughter......?"
The head of the Fregrance family, who, despite his parental stupidity, shows his face as a great noble only at times like this.
But if that's the case, I think Lady Ritia who heeded the order would do well than him.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not that scared because I hear we're behind the main force. Besides, its...... my job to do my duty."
"You'd rather have sex than your life...... Bwah!?"
"I said it's my job!"
I was trying to soften her up when I saw a slight tension in her words, but she slapped me.
"Mou! You really have a lot to say, you know...... Come on, show us the way."
"Yes, yes."
I rubbed my cheek and called out to one of the servants who was standing by to let her take them to my father.
"Bath first, bath."
"......Is that an implicit invitation, right?"
"N-no, it's not! You pervert!"
She shook her blushing face from side to side and denied it, cursing me. But since we've done it in the bath, I can't help but wonder if she was asking me out. I was slightly hurt that she called me a "pervert".
"I'll take care of Ojousama, so you don't need to help."
Even Glass, the maid at her side, turned her strong gaze on me. No, we bathed together, didn't we? I mean, why do you seem to be in such a bad mood?
"(Ah, did I do something?)"
I was worried and whispered to Lady Ritia, Glass's owner, over her back.
"Hyah!"
But the young lady, apparently startled by the unexpected whispering in her ear, made such a cute sound and hastily covered her ear with her hand.
"W-what!?"
Please don't react like that, like it's my fault, or worse, like it's a bad thing. Again, I put my face close to the young lady's ear.
"(As you can see.)"
"Fua, nhh... what is it?"
"(Your maid has been in a bad mood since a while ago......)"
"Fuu... kuh, that's."
No, I'm just whispering in your ear, but you sound strangely obscene!
I mean, you were talking to me in the same way just a few minutes ago, and suddenly you start sounding like that.
"(She's been having a girl's day since yesterday. I think that's probably putting her in a bad mood. So, forgive her a little.)"
"(………… I'm sorry to hear that.)"
If that's the reason, it makes sense to me too. I know that Mashiro and Armes also have "girls' day", and I have some knowledge of such things from my maid, who was my sex educator. Well, but since Mashiro and Armes don't show such emotion these days, it's refreshing to see her being so hostile toward me.
Above all, thinking back, it seems that the relationship between the young lady's maid and me was just like this, only a little worse than usual.
“…………”
"What's the matter, suddenly staring at me."
"......No, nothing."
Come to think of it, it's been a few months since I met the young lady, and I haven't seen her like that yet. Well, it's a girl's day and she can't have sex, so it's no surprise I didn't know.
"(Oh, and I have one more favor to ask.)"
"(What is it?)"
The young lady mumbled somewhat apologetically. Then, so as not to be noticed by the person in question, she glanced toward the maid.
"(She says she's going to follow me to the bath, but she doesn't look well, so I'd like to borrow your servant if possible......)"
"(Oh, now would be a good time to clean the bathrooms, I think there's one or two in the bathrooms, so feel free.)"
"Um...... what have you been sneaking around for a while now?"
As expected, Glass interrupted me with a skeptical look in the middle of our conversation, as she couldn't take it anymore.
She still looked as grumpy as ever. But it's not so hard to deal with when you know the reason.
"No, because Ojousama asked me, "Would you like to come in with me?", I was telling her that we can't have sex before the war."
"Hey......!!"
When I put together a suitable excuse, Lady Ritia hurriedly tried to deny it out loud, and I quickly shut her mouth.
In times like this, it's best to lie by mixing a little bit of the truth. If you make up some strange excuse or make up an excuse entirely with lies, you'll be caught out immediately. Earlier, I said, "She wanted me to come in with her". The secret is that the "with whom" is hidden.
"Mmmhh~!"
But the young lady doesn't understand that and doesn't care that she is jittery trying to rip my hand off. I mean, I want her to stop biting my hand.
"......Let go of Ojousama right now."
Seeing her master's displeasure, Glass said it to me in a low voice. I responded to the threatening tone of her voice, which seemed to be saying that she would kill me, and quickly let go of my hand.
"Are you okay? Ojousama."
"No, I'm fine. It's all right."
The young lady replied with some tears in her eyes. She seems to have finally started helping me with my excuse, as she doesn't make a fuss about it. No, I'll apologize later, so please don't stare at me so much. I'm really sorry.
Meanwhile, we arrive in front of the only open-air bath in my parents' house that I'm proud of.
"I'm sorry, Glass, but could you tell the head of the family that I'm going to be late?"
"What? No, I am going to be by Ojousama's side. Or rather, isn't that what this man should be doing?"
"I want to be at least courteous to them since I will be late, even though they are from the lowest branch of the family. That's why I want you to go. Please."
"Well, I don't think it's very polite of you to treat us like we're the lowest......"
"It's true, isn't it?"
"I'm gonna kick your ass."
The moment I said that, Glass glared at me. As for me, it was supposed to be a joke...... This person is scary regardless of the girl's day.
“…………Haa, I understand.”
Glass was reluctant to comply, but when her master, Lady Ritia, told her to do so, she nodded her head with an expression of reluctance.
She turned her heel and was about to go to my father who was waiting for us in his office when she looked back at me with a grim look on her face.
"You know what happens if you peek, right?"
She made that threat and headed to the room. No, I'm the master here and although there are ups and downs, I'm not in a position to be told that much by a maid...... Let's make it quick while the young lady is bathing.
"Not today."
"Ouch."
As I contemplated an act of small revenge, the young lady next to me pinched my cheek and muttered something.
"Why? I mean, how could you tell?"
"It's written all over your face. B-besides, I want to do it on a calm night."
The young lady, blushing even though she had not yet taken a bath after saying so, sneakily pinched the pinky finger of my hand without being noticed by those around.
The gesture was so cute that I unintentionally responded with a simple "O-ofuu".
"Well, I'm going in then. Let's see...... you two there!"
"Y-yes?"
But I was surprised by the young lady's cuteness for only a short time.
"Ah."
"Eh?"
Two poor girls just coming out of the changing room after cleaning up and got caught up in the hassle of washing the back of a great noble lady. But one of them is a face I know well...... and I now regret that I let them meet.
"Come on, let's get going."
"Eh, w-what...!?"
She was snatched by the air-headed young lady and taken to the bathroom, looking at me and the young lady alternately with a look of surprise on her face.
