The garden of the mansion.
　I'm in a situation where I'm relaxing but not at home.

　The cause is clear: it's Midea, standing a bit far away from me, standing like a guard, giving me a loyal doggy eye.

'I see you've been missed,'
Hey, sir...

　She came over and said happily.

'Think of it as a stranger's affair,'
'It's nice, that kind of backhanded favor, I don't feel bad about it, you know?
That's...

　I don't feel bad about that, per se, okay?

　The sister is right, that of Midea is a backhanded favor.

　Rushing, upright, direct, single-celled and reckless.

　I can think of many adjectives, but, well, that's the type of girl I am.

　If I say I like her, I like her; if I say I don't like her, I don't like her.
　You can't hide anything, and it's refreshing to watch - only when it's not about you.

'Hey, I'm with my sister.
With me?

　She tilted her head and shifted her gaze downward.
　To her own, ample breasts, her sister's own.

　Bish!
　I heard the air freeze and Midea's expression turned demonic when she was within hearing distance of the conversation.

'No, no, not there. I mean you're buying me (,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,) and rolling over.
What, is that what you mean?

　He glanced at Midea.
　The demon pulled back and shuffled his hand over his own chest, then puffed and shook his head and panned his cheek!　And I got into the spirit of the game by tautly holding it between my hands.

　The reaction in this area is, well, I like it.

'Feng, you're sweating and rattling your throat like crazy because your sister said something weird.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that--
I'm gonna get a drink!

　Midea didn't have time to stop us, and she ran into the mansion like the wind with a papun.
　And then she came right back.

'A drink, Master!

　He offered me a glass of clear water.

'Thank you--that?'

　I took it and gulped it down.

Isn't this water?
'Yes!　I brought it from home, it was my grandfather's favorite drink.
Alcohol?

　Her sister nodded her head.

'Yes!　My grandfather said, 'The smell of alcohol, women and a little blood. That's how all the books in my life fit together'!
''You have a unique philosophy, I wonder if that's what it takes to be a swordsman.
'I don't know about you, but when you're thirsty, drink!　That's what he said. Strongest?　I've got a delicious one called, "I've got a good one for you.
That's right.
....
'Huh?　What's up, Hermes?
'Master?　Your face is flushed and your eyes are all gooey?
....

　　　　　★

　I looked at the two people in front of me, my sister and Midea.

'....Hiccup. Midea, stand there for a moment.
Yes ... here?
Draw your sword and hold it ready.
Yes, sir.
Shake.
'What?　...Yes.

　Midea swung her sword as she was told.

'Seriously, it's like there's someone there that I really want to cut.
...Yes!

　He was puzzled for a moment, but quickly returned and readied his sword with enthusiasm.
　Mental focus--shake!

　It's a much stronger and sharper slash than the one from earlier.

''Hiccup........''

　Seeing that, I thought for a moment.
　I slowly walked around behind Midea.

'Master?'
Get ready.
Yes, sir.

　From behind a poised Midea, he grabbed her breasts.

'Hi!　Master, I don't have it there, and it's boring for Master to touch--
I'll give you more breasts.
I can't do it!

　For some reason, Midea's voice sounded like she was about to cry.
　Is it really that hard to get your chest out?

Just let me out and--

　Perron.

'Hiya!　Master, this time my ass.
Pull your ass in.
Ugh....
Oh, my God, we need to get him under the covers...

　My sister says something strange as she walks into the mansion, but that one is irrelevant now, so I ignore it.

　Now hold Midea's breasts with your right hand and her ass with your left.

'Breasts out, ass retracted.'
Oh...

　Midea lets her voice trail off, finally realizing.

　I move away from Midea.

'Hiccup. Shake that.
Yes!

　Midea swung her sword honestly.

　The slash that she released from a proper stance left the sound behind.
　An amateur like her sister wouldn't even notice that she swung her sword and would feel a strange sound for some reason.

''Su, wow!　Now that was awesome!
The stance was in vain. You have to learn that stance every day from now on so that you don't forget it.
Yes, sir.
I knew in my hands--Hiccup.

　Look at my hand, remember the feel of it.

"You got what it takes to surpass that old man. I'll make sure of that.
'.........Yes!　Thank you, Master!

　Midea nodded happily.

　　　　　☆

　The next morning, I woke up in bed.
　For some reason, I'm still wearing yesterday's clothes.

　........why?

　It reminds me of yesterday.
　I was talking to my sister in the garden, and Midea went to get some water, and I drank it....

　I don't remember from there.
　Huh?　Speaking of which, was it water...?

　I can't quite remember, I can't quite remember.

Smells like ... booze?

　I had the smell of alcohol on my body.
　I don't remember drinking it but what does that mean?

　My memory is so fuzzy, it's all a blur.
　Oh well, there's no way to keep thinking about things I can't remember.

　Let's just get up and take a bath.
　I'll think about the rest later.

　I left the room with that in mind, but I could see the garden from the hallway window.

　There are two women in the garden.

　Midea wielding a sword and her sister watching her.

　I open the window and let my face fall out.

"You're getting stronger, Midea.

　I called out to her.

　In response to my voice, Midea stopped her hand and dashed furiously.
　Just as I jumped into the mansion, thud!　He ran up the stairs and came over here.

'Good morning Master!
Oh, well, good morning.

　The momentum pushed me to continue what I said earlier anyway.

'I saw you earlier and you look different from yesterday.
'Yes!　Thank you, Master!　I'm practicing like my mentor taught me.
Huh?

　What do you mean?　What do you mean, you're gonna practice like I taught you?

　I don't understand why at all.

　Midea looked at me with respect.
　She looked at me with eyes that I've come to respect more and more.

　On the other hand, my sister, who slowly entered the mansion and came upstairs late, looked at both me and Midea with warm, watchful eyes.

''........Eh?''

　Did I do something else?
