166 Episode 161 Dote is soft




Oh, you're home at last! Yes, we're going to the Lord's house! There are too many people in here for me.

Well, we're not going to my house, we're going to Sakrai-san's house....

"? If it's your house, it's your house, isn't it?

It's a little bit of a mystery to me, but...

 And I'm sorry to be embarrassed to tell you this, but I, Seiya Manashiro, am a hapless hermit who just recently got a large sum of money and graduated from being a pimp.

 I haven't paid the rent, food, utility bills and all the other expenses until now....

Shin-enryu-sama. Manashiro-sama is a slacker - excuse me, a virgin. He's not married to Sakura-sama.

Chris?

Since Manashilo-sama seemed uncomfortable saying this, I explained it for you. He is surprisingly perceptive for a man like this.

'Unexpectedly, no one is as perceptive as you, Chris! Also, did you have to rephrase 'heteros*xual' as 'virgin' all the way through? Is it?

With these words, I meant to praise you for being a man of virtue and fidelity, like a child.

That's saying something!

Unu, mana, how do you do it?

Hey, hey, Hazuki, you can't do that! This is a very sensitive issue that needs to be handled very delicately and carefully, and it's a very sensitive issue that has a direct bearing on a boy's pride. You have to leave them alone.

Okay, all right. Don't touch anything.

Hajduki-chan, you're a great girl.
A spirit...

 Hajuki gets patted by Uzuki and Sasha.
 The three sisters are so close to each other, they are so adorable and so precious that it brings tears to my eyes.

It's okay, it's okay. It's a fact that I am a virgin, and like Chris said, I'm sure it's a compliment in the original meaning of the word, and I'm proud of it. ...not that I'm proud of it.

 I looked somewhat resentfully at Chris, who had given me a problematic comment.

''In addition to the two sisters of Lady Sakrai, there's also Lady Naiya, Lady Shirogane, and even Lady Shin-enryu. Even though the young lady is an undisputedly gifted lady with great beauty and brilliance, it would be extremely difficult for her to win this battle. The opponent is too bad.''

 Chris had a serious look on his face and was mumbling something.

 I concentrated my awareness and tried to listen.

 Hmph, if I was so inclined, I could pick up even the tiniest whisper of a soliloquy voice through the perception system's S-class cheat 'dragon's eye'.

 I usually don't do this in consideration of privacy, but I'm going to return the favor to you for the virgin comment you just made.......

 Let's see, what is it...?

I think the best way to win is not to aim for a one-of-a-kind place next to Manashiro-sama, but to share Manashiro-sama with everyone. In other words, Manashilo-Seya sharing. You could even call it a shared economy, a kind of supply chain.

... (Sweat)

''In order to build that, we must first deepen the depth of the relationships around us. Fortunately, Manashiro-sama is a compassionate and gentle person. You can't easily get out of it, bound by the invisible chains of loyalty and humanity--

...(waterfall sweat)

 Yeah I didn't hear anything.
 It's not good to invade privacy, after all.

 Since it's not good, I immediately deactivated the "Dragon's Eye".

 Haha, even so, Chris-san has a good sense of humor, as expected of a first-rate maid.

''I will only push forward with the aim of winning, young lady--''

 Yeah, okay, it was just a good little self talk joke.
 I didn't hear anything but jokes, so...?

Chris.
 Seeing that the conversation had died down, Sasha called out to Chris.

'I know, my lady,'
 Chris replies perceptively.

'I'd like to make a pitfall to the Scott-Massison Chamber of Commerce - excuse me, I'm here to talk to you.
 What's the catch.....

As expected of Chris, he's very quick to respond. As soon as you return to Dillinden, I'll talk to your father and send him a replacement as soon as he returns to Dillinden, so I want you to find a solution for that.

As you wish. I will strip the Scott-Massison Chamber of Commerce of its interests as much as I can.

Wait, what? Don't leave any bad memories behind, okay?
 Sasha nailed it, a little impatiently.

 --But.

Of course I will. I will beat you so hard that you will not have the strength to rebel, so that you will not be able to resist, even if it means leaving you with the slightest harm.
 Chris-san responded with a crisp and determined look.

''It's okay...? Yeah, it's okay...?
 Sasha's anxious eyes look at me.

'No ... well ... I'm not sure I'm the right person to ask...'
 I was the one who couldn't help but look away.
