'Moo!　It was neatly folded, so I thought the clothes my brother had left behind were a change of clothes for Kurohiko that Hana had prepared for him!

　Cecily pushes her brother towards the door, whistling.

And if you've come home, don't you think you could have at least said a few words to me?
'I didn't want my grandfather to find me early, so I only let Banton and Hannah know and sneaked in.

　Mr. Dearest, you're not very good with Mr. Gaiden.

'Isn't it more of a problem that Cecily, who is a woman, comes into a bathhouse with two men, even though one of them is her brother?　It's insignificant to come into a bathhouse with lords in it, with your skin exposed, isn't it?
'I'm not exposing my nudity, and most importantly, I'm on good terms with Kurohiko!　More than your brother!
..........

　No, there's a problem!

'Oh?　How did you two get together like that?
After all, we are husband and wife.
It's just for today.

　I quickly follow up.

'I see.'

　It was Diales-san's 《I see》 that contained various intentions.

''Therefore, brother, could you please not interrupt me?
''Fufu, I haven't seen Cecily so emotional for a long time. Is this also the Kurohiko effect?

　And so on and so forth, with a pleasant smile on her face, Deares-san was kicked out of the bathhouse as it was.

''Huh........well, I'm going to do a quick wash of my hair and body for a moment, so please wait.
You'll have to wait, or rather, wait a minute!
What?
Why do you come in here in a rag without a care in the world?
Hmm... no, no, it's not actually just a piece of cloth, is it?
Yes?
Yeah, I mean, you know, not having a single piece of cloth...

　Cecily, her face upturned and her eyelashes down, looked down at her chest, which was wrapped in the cloth.
　She then runs her hand over the knot that has been tied to keep the cloth in place.

'Here's the thing,'
'Hey, hey - Miss Cecily!　What are you--

　I was ripped off.

　The cloth fell to the floor.

What's that?

　Your bathing suit?

'Bam!　It was a swimsuit!

　A red swimsuit with no shoulder straps - oh, I remember it being called a waterwalking suit in this world.
　Anyway, what was there was Cecily-san in her swimsuit.
　I see, the reason the cloth was black was to hide the red color........

It was just a joke. Were you surprised?

　Good grief.
　Do siblings enjoy surprising people together........

"Well, it's hard to move when you have a bathing cloth wrapped around you. It's hard to respond to unexpected events when it's hard to move.

　A mysterious tour de force entered the room.

'Hard to move?　If you're just going to soak in hot water, you don't have to move so much.　Um ... Miss Cecily?

　Why are you dripping the contents of the bottle of washing-up liquid on the shelf into the palm of your hand?

　Cecily chuckles.

'I'll wash you,'
No, thank you!
Hmm?　It's normal for a wife to wash her husband's body, isn't it?
I'm not a normal person!　I'm not an ordinary student everywhere!　I'm a conjurer.　Yes, I'm not normal!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't be shy. I can see you're embarrassed to say no.　Look, look,

　I'm in!
　I'm starting to whisk it up with my hand!

'Oh, well?　Don't tell me you're trying to flee?　Master Conjurer?
Huh?

　He got ahead of us.
　He crushed the initial response.
　His escape route was also blocked.

　A foam-clad hand is approaching like a mollusk.

''I've grown up after that Holy War Festival, you know.

　Bad face!
　You're showing the bad side of your face behind the scenes!

"Don't let him get away, Mr. Conjurer.
What...

　My pathetic voice echoed heaving through the Arclight family's bathhouse.

''Iyaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........''


　　　　　*


'Ugh, I'm in a hell of a lot of trouble...'

　When I was released, I was lying on the bed in my room, in a rancid state in many ways.

　Cecily left the bathhouse with me and then politely asked me to go back to my room.

''So, I'm sorry~''
I'm going home.
'What?　Seriously, you didn't like it that much!''
"Huh?　Well, I was in my room, but...
...I'm sorry, Kurohiko. I'm sorry.
"Wow, I hope you understand...
"I'll try to resist the night crawl.
"Of course.

　There was an exchange like that before we parted ways.

'Hmm, but I can't sleep at all........'

　So I decide to read a book I borrowed from the Arkwright family's archives while I tour the mansion during the day.
　I sat cross-legged on the bed and turned the pages.

　The title of the book is 'The Steps of the Royal Capital? .

　Is it going to be a history book of sorts?

　I might have to meet the Holy King at some point.
　You should at least learn the history of the capital.
　Hmmmm.
　But still...

This depiction of the nobleman's point of view is awfully long.

　I think it would be easier to understand if the narrator is the point of view.

It's more like a travelogue, or maybe that's the style of our history books. "Knowing that this beautiful woman is someone else's wife, I have been drawn to her fragrance like the nectar of a flower that attracts insects...

　...........
　Hmmm.
　His steps are distorted.

'I mean.........what's going on here?　My bestial lips and tongue, devouring her sweetly scented limbs, move further downward from her slender white neck, and this is just a sensual novel for another world. Hey!

　I reflexively threw the book at him.

'Ah,'

　I suddenly come to my senses.

　I shouldn't!
　I owe you...!
　I rush to pick it up.

'Ho....'

　It's not broken or torn.
　Hmm?
　The cover is slightly off.....

　I flipped it over.

'This is.........'

　The title of the book inside and the title of the cover were different.
　I hear that the culture was completely defunct in the previous world, but is it used as an active fake technique in the other world?
　I've heard that books with covers are few and far between in this world and are expensive.
　But I didn't expect it to be used in this way....
　I mean, who owns the Arkwright family?

''Huh........I'm kind of tired.......let's go to bed.......''

　I crawl into bed.
　Maybe I was more uptight than I thought.

　As soon as I relaxed, the sleepiness came.


　　　　　*


　Somehow, I woke up.

　The room is dark.
　It's still midnight.
　The sensation of sweat seeping through.

　I - slowly, I closed my eyes.

　..........
　It's probably a dream or something.

...........

　Otherwise - I have no explanation for the fact that Socie-san is sleeping next to me.

　I'm begging you.
　Someone explain it to me.
　Even if I close my eyes, my nose can smell the fluffy scent of others.
　It's in the vicinity.
　It's Societé Arkwright.
　Not in a dream, but in a real presence.
　I also immediately dismiss the ghost theory.
　Why?

　Why is Mr. Sociedad sleeping next to me?

　In the daytime, he seemed to be stunting me with his stance of teasing me when I woke up, but yea, he's clearly sleeping normally now.......

''Hmm--''

　Ugh?
　Did you tangle your leg with my leg?
　And then he leaned in close - gosh!

　When she moved like a hug, her breasts were pressed against my chest, and I wondered if she was the type of person who was unexpectedly bad at sleeping.
　Or maybe it's actually the theory that it's happening exactly and is being done on purpose!

You know, Société...
Oh, yeah.
What?　Fu, ah.........

　My ears!
　She bit my earlobe with her soft lips, and then she bit my earlobe sweetly with a huff.
　Well, wait...!

"It's all right ... it's all right ... it's all right ... it's all right ... it's all right ... it's all right ... it's all right ... it's all right .....

　And then you lick it with your tongue...!
　No, come on-- this is not good!
　Here.
　Pretty weak.
　Maybe......

　Oh, yeah.
　I guess I'm not very good at hearing.
　d*mn!
　Intentional or not, I can't go through with it anymore!

Mr. Sociedad!

　I push myself away.

'What do you mean?　I mean, are you seriously sleeping with him!
"What--

　Crack.
　The socier's eyes opened.

''Oh?　Ku, Kurohiko-san...?

　It's the middle of the night, so I keep my voice down.
　Then I perform the trick of whispering and choking violently.

What?　Ku, Kurohiko-san...? Not that!　What are you doing sneaking into my bed?
Oh, dear.
Please don't use that smoking gun!

　Société began to speak in a hushed voice to match mine.

When I was looking at Kurohiko's lovely, peaceful sleeping face, I felt sorry to wake him up. So I couldn't resist sleeping with her. It seems that before I knew it, I had fallen asleep too.
'No, I'm asking why you're visiting this room at this time of night.
'Mr. Kurohiko, you were about to say something to me as I sat upright on this bed at noon, weren't you?　Cecily came in on the way out, though, so it was a bit of a blur.

　I see.
　So you've come to hear that story again?
　I suppose you could say that's the law, but....
　But in that case, I wanted you to wake me up normally.

　Hmm.
　This is the Arkwright family, so I don't think it's right to blame them for coming in here without permission....

Then, then.........shall we continue with what happened then?
