“Millia sis! Look at this, meow!”
“What is it, what is it?”
“It’s a cat, meow!”
“Meow~”
Is it because it’s a Cat Beastkin that the cat is so affectionate? The cat snuggled in Lulu’s arms didn’t try to escape, even while whining like everything was too much trouble.
“Hehe, so cute.”
Karina, saying that makes you sound like a mother. Although Millia really does see her as one… Wait a minute, then does that mean if I’m with Karina and Millia… we’d be doing mother-daughter rice bowl?
Stuck in that shameless thought swirling in my head, I froze like a statue.
“Johann?”
“…I was not thinking anything perverted.”
“Excuse me?”
Oh no, is this the thief’s feet being caught in the act?
Karina’s sharp gaze was burning into me as she looked at me with strange eyes. I desperately avoided her gaze and stared blankly into the空.
Watching Millia play with the kids while sitting in the shade was peaceful, but after hitting the self-destruct button just now, I had no choice but to seriously contemplate if I should go back, using work as an excuse.
“Could you tell me what that perverted thought is? If it’s you, Johann, I might accept it…”
“…I just thought you and Millia looked like mother and daughter, that’s all.”
“…Is that so?”
Karina looked at me with a face that said she didn’t quite get it. Is she really unaware?
When Millia snuggles in, Karina gently hugs her, and sometimes they even sleep together, often scolding Millia when she tries to cause trouble.
“I think you’d make a good mom.”
“Hehe, wouldn’t it be really difficult to discipline a child if it were Johann’s and mine?”
“What?”
That’s not the intention behind my words, though. I gazed at Karina, who was inching closer to me with a shy smile. It’s Yeomyeong-gwan, and sitting in the shade of the garden, having this conversation should be fine.
But still, it feels a bit embarrassing.
I have no immunity to this kind of stuff. Unknowingly, I closed my eyes against the soft sensation of her body pressing against mine.
“Johann… I’m here too…”
“I know.”
So please don’t suppress me with your chest. I can’t move! I gazed blankly at the sky, with my arms pinned against her cleavage.
If I confirmed with my own eyes what kind of situation my body was in right now, I wouldn’t know what would happen next. It’s not like I don’t have lust either.
“Could you two get away? Stimulating a man isn’t the best choice.”
“If it’s Johann… it’s okay…”
“Hehe, Johann is such a shy one. You could be a bit more proactive.”
“The kids can see us.”
“Oh dear, Lulu and Terry are far away, you know?”
Karina’s small, delicate palm slid down my thigh. Caught in such blatant temptation, I inadvertently found my gaze locking onto Karina. She raised her eyes, showing a beguiling smile different from her usual innocent one.
“Johann’s body seems really firm.”
The sensation sliding down my thigh, the gentle touch reaching my chest, and Karina’s alluring face. I couldn’t tell if this was reality or a dream.
“Elisa. Could you slap my cheek or something?”
“Excuse me?”
“I… don’t know if I’m dreaming or not.”
“Wow… what a pickle we’re in.”
“Oh dear Renny, come quick.”
When I looked at Renny, she seemed too bashful to witness this scene, turning her gaze away with a flushed face, speaking up.
“If you feel you’ve got yourself in a pickle, why don’t you take this chance to rest a bit?”
“Enough of that?”
“Johann~! Don’t forget about me too…”
“Sorry.”
I can’t seem to regain my senses with Karina being so temptingly naughty. In the original story, she never showed any of this. The Karina in my head is being defiled in real-time by this naughty version!
But this succubus-like Karina is as adorable as ever. I pulled my arms out from her cleavage and wrapped them around the waists of both girls.
What am I doing acting like a fool when it’s already come to this?
There aren’t many eyes on us anyway.
“Your waist is quite slender.”
“I take pride in my figure.”
“Me too…”
It could be said that with the blessing of God, Karina achieved that ridiculous S-line, but how does Elisa maintain her figure? I poked at Elisa’s belly half-curiously, half-playfully.
“J-Johann~!”
Her cowering expression looked so adorable, like a scolded puppy. I lightly kissed her forehead, astonished by her reaction as we locked eyes.
“J-Johann~?!”
“Johann, that’s sneaky. Let me have a turn too.”
“I shall obey your command, Saint.”
I brought my lips to Karina’s forehead. But what I met was not the smooth, firm texture of her forehead but rather the soft touch of her lips.
It was a lovely, wonderfully soft sensation that was indescribable. How long was I like that? A cough broke through the moment.
“Karina, you haven’t forgotten I’m here, have you?”
At Renny’s remark, we pulled our lips away to look at her.
“Ah… Renny, I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s fine. If Karina is happy, that’s all that matters…”
“Renny should find a partner too…”
“I plan to serve Karina for life. It’s fine if you consider that work and marriage.”
…Looking at Renny’s tearful declaration, I can see worry in Karina’s eyes. After all, Renny has spent the most time with her here, so it’s only natural to be concerned.
As for me… honestly, I wonder if Renny will even get a chance at love.
Before any dating, she seems destined to become an old maid only doing work. Thinking of that feels pitiful… Shouldn’t I help her find a good match?
All the men I know are old geezers.
…I guess she can manage on her own.
“Anyway, you two are clinging so well in this heat…”
“Oh, right, it is summer.”
“Hmm?”
“Ever since getting the Phoenix’s Blessing, I’ve been a bit sluggish with the weather…”
I mean, I’ve been blessed with flames, there’s no way I’d feel hot on a mere sunny day. To put it bluntly, I wouldn’t even get a burn if I put my hand in the campfire.
“That sounds enviable.”
“Somehow, I noticed you standing by the fire without a bead of sweat. I wish I could have the Phoenix’s Blessing too~”
When did Viola even arrive? Were we so lost in our world? Viola looked at us with an exasperated expression and said.
“Mr. Johann, just a few months ago you were at least trying to restrain yourself, but now you’re even doing this in the garden…”
“Well, since it’s accepted, I can’t keep pushing it away.”
“That’s impressive…”
“If you have wealth like Johann, I suppose it doesn’t really matter?”
When did she show up? I turned my gaze to Sif, who had quietly arrived.
It’s been a month since I’ve been in this mansion. After a two-week maintenance period, Sif has been actively managing transactions with Dern’s Guild.
Originally, it was difficult for her to concentrate on work because she had to take care of Lulu and Terry, but now that the servants are playing with Millia and Rue, the work efficiency has noticeably improved.
…Though it might be because the physical distance has curbed chaos a bit.
I asked Sif, who was quietly watching me.
“Have you finished your work?”
“I just need to send it to the guild later.”
“Thanks for your hard work.”
“It’s paid work, so no need to mention it.”
By chance, we’ve all gathered. Shuri and Lewis went out for a date; I wonder how they’re doing. I slipped a gold coin in their allowance, so they should manage to enjoy themselves.
“Johann~!”
“Uncle!”
“Don’t cling too much.”
Being surrounded by women and feeling completely restrained is such a strange feeling. In the wild, I’d feel threatened for my life, but here, all I feel is affection. I rested my chin on Millia’s head, her face snuggling into my chest.
With my arms trapped, this was all I could do.
“I’ve never seen a zombie snuggling like this, apart from biting people.”
“Oh, I’ve never seen this either.”
When did those two get so close? I glanced back and forth between Renny, who was joking, and Viola, who was playing along, and let out a chuckle.
It’s truly peaceful.
If only this didn’t feel like the calm before the storm.
With the shocking incident at the beginning of the first semester and the events with Dern’s Guild, a lot of time has passed, and the first semester was nearing its end.
Once vacation comes… I’ll have to leave here and stay in the capital for a while, so there won’t be much time to relax like this.
As sweet as chocolate, this time, but if I keep living like this, I feel like my teeth might rot. A complacent mind dulls the body even when crises approach.
Therefore, while I allow physical contact, I am not seeking to satisfy my lust.
Though it feels odd to forcibly maintain my chastity, once I indulge, it’d be hard to pull away.
If I fail to notice the sneaky actions of the outsiders…
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
“Johann, what’s wrong?”
“…It’s just too peaceful. I feel like something’s going to happen.”
“No way – that couldn’t be-”
“Johann, we have a guest.”
“A guest, you say?”
“Yes.”
Ashley, standing casually among the people, turned toward me, her expression neither surprised nor tense.
“Got it. I’ll head there right away.”
“They’re already on their way here.”
“What?”
I managed to pry Millia off of me, who was clinging like a koala, and stood up.
A figure was walking toward us from far away.
As it got closer… it was an unexpected visitor.
Of course, I wouldn’t expect any less.
“…Sir Quartz. I’ve come to ask for your help.”
Her ears were long, a testament to her mixed race.
