Chapter 34: Episode 34 "When I was warming up with a slave in a hot spring town, a great person came into c

When we reached the next town, Rihjelda, we told the guards guarding the gates that the wards of the cemetery had been broken and the men who had fallen.
The girl was carried by Rita.
We can't just leave the girl on the street, you know.
The guards remembered the girl and she woke up when they reached the town of Rihjelda.
She was a girl who had come to the town's villa, and her name was Iris-Hafeumea.
We were attacked by the undead and black armor while we were visiting the grave - I don't remember it from there. But after she testified that she was saved by us for sure, she ended up resting in another room.
We were asked about the situation in the stuffing room, so I explained it to her like this.
We walked by and saw the undead attacking the girl and the guys.
It was hard work, but we managed to get the girl out of there. The cemetery's protection was destroyed, so I got scared and ran to town.
I don't know the details of the situation. Well, I was surprised.
─ ─ I don't know if the guards were convinced by the explanation of the situation or not. But for now, there is no reason to deny it. All I can tell you is, we helped, thanks to a girl named Iris.
When we got out of the stuffing station, we passed a guy who looked like he was related to the girl.
A maid with big eyes and a couple of butler-like men.
"We thank you for helping my Lord, Iris Hapheumea.
The maid said that and bowed to us.
Rita and I said, "No, no, thank you for your safety, bye," and left.
Well then.
Shall we go to the inn for a short rest?
It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. It's not much different from other towns in terms of structure with stalls and shops. However, in King's Landing and Metekal, there are many shops for adventurers, such as weapon shops and skill shops, but here there are no skill shops, and the blacksmith shop is small in size. It seems that the main purpose of this shop is to repair weapons that were broken during the journey.
It's not a good place to study skills, is it?
Many of the stalls in the street are souvenir shops and food shops.
There is a whiff of soup and grilled meat in the air.
You can cook your own meals at the lodge, so leave your things and go shopping. If you ask Aine, she should be able to make you something nutritious and easy to digest.
We passed through the main street and crossed a small stone bridge.
I heard that Rihjelda is called the "Town of Shimizu", and there are several beautiful rivers running through the town.
It's said that it divides the town into several areas.
Across the bridge is the area of the inn.
Steam is drifting out of nowhere. So there's a hot spring ahead.
We're all tired from the long journey.
Maybe we can stay for a while until Cecil recovers.
"Here they are. Nagi-san! Rita!
In front of the inn at the end of the street, Letitia waved her hand.
'I'm so glad. I'm glad to see that you two are safe.'
We'll see what we can do. So, how's Cecil?
Aine is with me now. We've already taken his room. Let's give her a day's rest and see how she does.
As expected of Letitia. The child of a baronial family, she knows what she's doing.
I see. Well, that's good to know.
I guess I shouldn't move Cecil for a while.
Come to think of it, since we met, we've been moving all the time.
Changes in the environment can be pretty hard to bear. From my experience.
You're a lifesaver. I'm glad Letitia's here.
My remuneration includes handing over my cottage to you. I'm just doing my duty as a nobleman.
Letitia turned her head to the side, as if embarrassed.
'And I'm not your slave, but I am your friend. Just as Aine will continue to be your best friend even if she becomes a slave, ...... no matter what you are, Cecil-san will still be an important party member.
He's really a good guy, Leticia.
On the way to this point, when Cecil said "I can't hide my identity from you two," and told Leticia and Aine about his identity - that he is a "demon race," he was surprisingly calm.
Leticia said, "I believe in the gentle girl in front of me, rather than the scary legends about the 'demon race' left behind by someone I don't know. That's all there is to it' - and that's easy.
Aine said, ''What about it? Cecil-san is Nei-kun's important slave, right? Well, it's easy.
I'm so glad you two are working together.
So, about the room assignments.
Leticia shrugged her shoulders as if it was nothing, and continued her story.
I've taken a room as Cecil-san and Aine's master. Nagi-san will share a room with Rita-san, please. There's nothing wrong with that, right?
Yeah. No problem at all.
"...... wow!"? Yeah. There's nobody here!
"? But you two are still very late, aren't you? What's going on?
He saved a little girl who was about to be kidnapped... or at least a little girl.
...... I'm sorry. I'm not sure I understand the situation.
"A girl was being attacked by the undead, so me and Rita tried to save her. Her name was Iris-Hafeumea, or something like that.
'Hapheumea? I've heard of it.
Leticia nodded her head.
'...... I think there was a name like that in the family of the port city of Irgafa Lords, as I recall.
Clapping her hands, Leticia said.
The port city of Ilgafa ...... is our destination.
'Forgive us for the ...... inconvenience we have caused you, Nagi-sama.
Oh, you're still pale, after all. Cecil.
I'm sitting up in bed, but I'm a little wobbly.
I touch Cecil's forehead with the palm of my hand. It's still hot.
Cecil sighs with a pained sigh, "Huh.
Yeah. I still think we should rest until the fever goes down.
Yes, Mr. Nagi: ...... I'm ready, sir.
A small hand squeezed the blanket.
'Ready?'
'I must be punished for being a burden to Nagi-sama.
Oh, so that's what you're talking about.
Sometimes I almost forget that Cecil is my slave. He's wearing a collar.
'But ...... please. Please.
Cecil is looking at me with tears in his eyes.
'I'll do anything you want ...... let me stay with Nagi-sama ......!
Yeah. Then as punishment, Cecil will have to stay with me on my vacation.
...... 'Bakansu'?
I didn't tell you this, but my people love hot springs, and we have a rule that if you come to a hot spring resort, you have to use it.
I put my hand on Cecil's head with a plop.
'This town has clean water and good air, it's a nice place to stay, isn't it? I've been traveling a lot since I came from another world. So I thought I'd like to get some rest here.
...... Nagisaa.
So I guess we'll just stay here until Cecil is feeling better. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to have to put you through my hobby. I'm sorry, but it was my husband's order, so listen to me... why are you crying?
I'm dribbling down, dribbling, dribbling.
Teardrops are spilling out of Cecil's bright red eyes. Later, later.
'Thank you. Nagi-sama, Nagi-sama.
Cecil clings to me, sobbing.
'That's why I'm being punished. See, we can go into the hot springs, but Cecil can't go in until his fever goes down, right? We'd say, "That felt so good," and Cecil would have to watch with his finger in his mouth. That's a pretty severe punishment, isn't it? If it were me, I'd lose my temper without question!
'Yes, Mr. Nagy: ...... yes.'
Oh, God, I need to relax.
I shouldn't get excited because it would raise my fever.
I couldn't help it, so I stroked Cecil's hair. It's a little damp, but it's soft and dry. It feels good to touch it. This kind of thing is a treat for me, too. Cecil also seems to calm down when I stroke it.
After clinging to my chest for a while, Cecil's face turns bright red and he lets go of my hand.
''I'm ...... sorry. Nagi-sama. I wasn't really ...... happy ...... and ...... sorry.
Wobbling, wobbling Cecil.
Oh, I knew it. The heat is rising because of the excitement.
Your forehead, neck, and chest are drenched in sweat. You should wipe your body and change your clothes.
"Aine, will you do a favor for Cecil?
I know.
At my words, the maid who has been waiting by the door for a long time - Aine - nods at my words.
In Aine's hand is a mortar and herbs. There is a tub of hot water and a cloth on the floor. A change of clothes has also been prepared.
"Aine's service is not limited to Nah-kun. Every single member of your party is subject to Aine's service," he said.
You're so dependable, my sister.
'I'll serve you until Cecil-chan says, 'Enough, please forgive me.'
Please respect his wishes, okay?
"I'll serve you until you can't say, 'Enough, please forgive me,' when you're Nai-kun.
Is my will rather being ignored?
Of course I'm kidding.
Yeah.
For now.
...... I thought I heard some disturbing words.
Yeah. I'll give this to Aine.
I pulled out a skill crystal from my pocket and placed it in the palm of Aine's hand.
'Aine always has a cleaning tool with her, right? I think this skill is suited for Aine.
'Sewage Increase LV1' (R (rare))
Increase Dirty Water (10% + LVx10%) skill with Cleaning Tools
This is a skill I made in conjunction with Jujusui Kenjutsu.
I thought it would be a skill to increase the number of slimes, just like Bringer of Slime Lv 1, but it didn't work.
I knew it wouldn't work as a cheat if I made it by myself.
I did some experiments. There was a puddle on the way, so I dipped Borokire into it, pretending it was Zorkin.
What's going on? Nah-kun.
Zorkin got a little wet.
What happened after you activated your skills?
The puddle got so big that Zorkin got soaked.
It was almost dark, so we couldn't do any detailed experiments.
Like the range of effects and where the increased water comes from (・・・・・・・・).
Aine hold it for me, because I might be able to come up with a use for it in time.
Thank you so much for ....... Naa-kun.
Aine wrapped the skill crystal in her hands like a treasure.
''Everything that Nay-kun gives me is a reward for Aine, okay?
Just don't use it until you've done some detailed experiments, okay?
It's a rare skill, so it could have some extraordinary effect.
As long as this isn't a situation where it can save the lives of Nah-kun and everyone else, you'll be fine.
'I don't think there's a scene where you can make the puddle bigger and save everyone's lives.
You never know what's going to happen in life.
Aine muffled and rolled her arms.
It wasn't too long ago that I would have enjoyed this trip as much as I did," said Aine. It's very fulfilling. You may say that Cecil is bothering you, but for Aine it's nothing. In fact, she is very happy.
...... Mr. Aine.
Cecil murmured on the bed.
He's on the verge of tears again.
Thank you. I will do whatever I can for Aine, too.
Yes. Do you want me to serve you?
With a cloth in hand, Aine is waving her hands around.
Her eyes have a funny glint in them. Oh, I remember this. It's a signal that Aine's service-switch is on.
Cecil is cowering in bed, but Aine is leaning closer without regard to this.
'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.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
When we reached the next town, Rihjelda, we told the guards guarding the gates that the wards of the cemetery had been broken and the men who had fallen.
The girl was carried by Rita.
We can't just leave the girl on the street, you know.
The guards remembered the girl and she woke up when they reached the town of Rihjelda.

I couldn't help it, so I stroked Cecil's hair. It's a little damp, but it's soft and dry. It feels good to touch it. This kind of thing is a treat for me, too. Cecil also seems to calm down when I stroke it.
After clinging to my chest for a while, Cecil's face turns bright red and he lets go of my hand.
''I'm ...... sorry. Nagi-sama. I wasn't really ...... happy ...... and ...... sorry.
Wobbling, wobbling Cecil.
Oh, I knew it. The heat is rising because of the excitement.
Your forehead, neck, and chest are drenched in sweat. You should wipe your body and change your clothes.
"Aine, will you do a favor for Cecil?
I know.
At my words, the maid who has been waiting by the door for a long time - Aine - nods at my words.
In Aine's hand is a mortar and herbs. There is a tub of hot water and a cloth on the floor. A change of clothes has also been prepared.
"Aine's service is not limited to Nah-kun. Every single member of your party is subject to Aine's service," he said.
You're so dependable, my sister.
'I'll serve you until Cecil-chan says, 'Enough, please forgive me.'
Please respect his wishes, okay?
"I'll serve you until you can't say, 'Enough, please forgive me,' when you're Nai-kun.
Is my will rather being ignored?
Of course I'm kidding.
Yeah.
For now.
...... I thought I heard some disturbing words.
Yeah. I'll give this to Aine.
I pulled out a skill crystal from my pocket and placed it in the palm of Aine's hand.
'Aine always has a cleaning tool with her, right? I think this skill is suited for Aine.
'Sewage Increase LV1' (R (rare))
Increase Dirty Water (10% + LVx10%) skill with Cleaning Tools
This is a skill I made in conjunction with Jujusui Kenjutsu.
I thought it would be a skill to increase the number of slimes, just like Bringer of Slime Lv 1, but it didn't work.
I knew it wouldn't work as a cheat if I made it by myself.
I did some experiments. There was a puddle on the way, so I dipped Borokire into it, pretending it was Zorkin.
What's going on? Nah-kun.
Zorkin got a little wet.
What happened after you activated your skills?
The puddle got so big that Zorkin got soaked.
It was almost dark, so we couldn't do any detailed experiments.
Like the range of effects and where the increased water comes from (・・・・・・・・).
Aine hold it for me, because I might be able to come up with a use for it in time.
Thank you so much for ....... Naa-kun.
Aine wrapped the skill crystal in her hands like a treasure.
''Everything that Nay-kun gives me is a reward for Aine, okay?
Just don't use it until you've done some detailed experiments, okay?
It's a rare skill, so it could have some extraordinary effect.
As long as this isn't a situation where it can save the lives of Nah-kun and everyone else, you'll be fine.
'I don't think there's a scene where you can make the puddle bigger and save everyone's lives.
You never know what's going to happen in life.
Aine muffled and rolled her arms.
It wasn't too long ago that I would have enjoyed this trip as much as I did," said Aine. It's very fulfilling. You may say that Cecil is bothering you, but for Aine it's nothing. In fact, she is very happy.
...... Mr. Aine.
Cecil murmured on the bed.
He's on the verge of tears again.
Thank you. I will do whatever I can for Aine, too.
Yes. Do you want me to serve you?
With a cloth in hand, Aine is waving her hands around.
Her eyes have a funny glint in them. Oh, I remember this. It's a signal that Aine's service-switch is on.
Cecil is cowering in bed, but Aine is leaning closer without regard to this.
'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.
When we reached the next town, Rihjelda, we told the guards guarding the gates that the wards of the cemetery had been broken and the men who had fallen.The girl was carried by Rita.We can't just leave the girl on the street, you know.The guards remembered the girl and she woke up when they reached the town of Rihjelda.She was a girl who had come to the town's villa, and her name was Iris-Hafeumea.We were attacked by the undead and black armor while we were visiting the grave - I don't remember it from there. But after she testified that she was saved by us for sure, she ended up resting in another room.We were asked about the situation in the stuffing room, so I explained it to her like this.We walked by and saw the undead attacking the girl and the guys.It was hard work, but we managed to get the girl out of there. The cemetery's protection was destroyed, so I got scared and ran to town.I don't know the details of the situation. Well, I was surprised. I don't know if the guards were convinced by the explanation of the situation or not. But for now, there is no reason to deny it. All I can tell you is, we helped, thanks to a girl named Iris.When we got out of the stuffing station, we passed a guy who looked like he was related to the girl.A maid with big eyes and a couple of butler-like men."We thank you for helping my Lord, Iris Hapheumea.The maid said that and bowed to us.Rita and I said, "No, no, thank you for your safety, bye," and left.Well then.Shall we go to the inn for a short rest?It's a good idea to have a good time with them.I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. It's not much different from other towns in terms of structure with stalls and shops. However, in King's Landing and Metekal, there are many shops for adventurers, such as weapon shops and skill shops, but here there are no skill shops, and the blacksmith shop is small in size. It seems that the main purpose of this shop is to repair weapons that were broken during the journey.It's not a good place to study skills, is it?Many of the stalls in the street are souvenir shops and food shops.There is a whiff of soup and grilled meat in the air.You can cook your own meals at the lodge, so leave your things and go shopping. If you ask Aine, she should be able to make you something nutritious and easy to digest.We passed through the main street and crossed a small stone bridge.I heard that Rihjelda is called the "Town of Shimizu", and there are several beautiful rivers running through the town.It's said that it divides the town into several areas.Across the bridge is the area of the inn.Steam is drifting out of nowhere. So there's a hot spring ahead.We're all tired from the long journey.Maybe we can stay for a while until Cecil recovers."Here they are. Nagi-san!Rita!In front of the inn at the end of the street, Letitia waved her hand.'I'm so glad. I'm glad to see that you two are safe.'We'll see what we can do. So, how's Cecil?Aine is with me now. We've already taken his room. Let's give her a day's rest and see how she does.As expected of Letitia. The child of a baronial family, she knows what she's doing.I see. Well, that's good to know.I guess I shouldn't move Cecil for a while.Come to think of it, since we met, we've been moving all the time.Changes in the environment can be pretty hard to bear. From my experience.You're a lifesaver. I'm glad Letitia's here.My remuneration includes handing over my cottage to you. I'm just doing my duty as a nobleman.Letitia turned her head to the side, as if embarrassed.'And I'm not your slave, but I am your friend. Just as Aine will continue to be your best friend even if she becomes a slave, ...... no matter what you are, Cecil-san will still be an important party member.He's really a good guy, Leticia.On the way to this point, when Cecil said "I can't hide my identity from you two," and told Leticia and Aine about his identity - that he is a "demon race," he was surprisingly calm.Leticia said, "I believe in the gentle girl in front of me, rather than the scary legends about the 'demon race' left behind by someone I don't know. That's all there is to it' - and that's easy.Aine said, ''What about it?Cecil-san is Nei-kun's important slave, right? Well, it's easy.I'm so glad you two are working together.So, about the room assignments.Leticia shrugged her shoulders as if it was nothing, and continued her story.I've taken a room as Cecil-san and Aine's master. Nagi-san will share a room with Rita-san, please. There's nothing wrong with that, right?Yeah. No problem at all."...... wow!"?Yeah. There's nobody here!"?But you two are still very late, aren't you?What's going on?He saved a little girl who was about to be kidnapped... or at least a little girl....... I'm sorry. I'm not sure I understand the situation."A girl was being attacked by the undead, so me and Rita tried to save her. Her name was Iris-Hafeumea, or something like that.'Hapheumea?I've heard of it.Leticia nodded her head.'...... I think there was a name like that in the family of the port city of Irgafa Lords, as I recall.Clapping her hands, Leticia said.The port city of Ilgafa ...... is our destination.'Forgive us for the ...... inconvenience we have caused you, Nagi-sama.Oh, you're still pale, after all. Cecil.I'm sitting up in bed, but I'm a little wobbly.I touch Cecil's forehead with the palm of my hand. It's still hot.Cecil sighs with a pained sigh, "Huh.Yeah. I still think we should rest until the fever goes down.Yes, Mr. Nagi: ...... I'm ready, sir.A small hand squeezed the blanket.'Ready?''I must be punished for being a burden to Nagi-sama.Oh, so that's what you're talking about.Sometimes I almost forget that Cecil is my slave. He's wearing a collar.'But ...... please. Please.Cecil is looking at me with tears in his eyes.'I'll do anything you want ...... let me stay with Nagi-sama ......!Yeah. Then as punishment, Cecil will have to stay with me on my vacation....... 'Bakansu'?I didn't tell you this, but my people love hot springs, and we have a rule that if you come to a hot spring resort, you have to use it.I put my hand on Cecil's head with a plop.'This town has clean water and good air, it's a nice place to stay, isn't it?I've been traveling a lot since I came from another world. So I thought I'd like to get some rest here....... Nagisaa.So I guess we'll just stay here until Cecil is feeling better. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to have to put you through my hobby. I'm sorry, but it was my husband's order, so listen to me... why are you crying?I'm dribbling down, dribbling, dribbling.Teardrops are spilling out of Cecil's bright red eyes. Later, later.'Thank you. Nagi-sama, Nagi-sama.Cecil clings to me, sobbing.'That's why I'm being punished. See, we can go into the hot springs, but Cecil can't go in until his fever goes down, right?We'd say, "That felt so good," and Cecil would have to watch with his finger in his mouth. That's a pretty severe punishment, isn't it?If it were me, I'd lose my temper without question!'Yes, Mr. Nagy: ...... yes.'Oh, God, I need to relax.I shouldn't get excited because it would raise my fever.I couldn't help it, so I stroked Cecil's hair. It's a little damp, but it's soft and dry. It feels good to touch it. This kind of thing is a treat for me, too. Cecil also seems to calm down when I stroke it.After clinging to my chest for a while, Cecil's face turns bright red and he lets go of my hand.''I'm ...... sorry. Nagi-sama. I wasn't really ...... happy ...... and ...... sorry.Wobbling, wobbling Cecil.Oh, I knew it. The heat is rising because of the excitement.Your forehead, neck, and chest are drenched in sweat. You should wipe your body and change your clothes."Aine, will you do a favor for Cecil?I know.At my words, the maid who has been waiting by the door for a long time - Aine - nods at my words.In Aine's hand is a mortar and herbs.

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.
