123-122. It may be too late




'Huh...'

 Inside the study, I was sighing heavily.
 I'm begrudgingly sticking my cheekbones to the desk.

'Huh,'
What's the matter, Hermes?
Huh? You're a girl....

 I look up.
 My sister has walked into the room before I know it.
 She tilts her head back and looks at me curiously.

''Oh dear, you really don't look well, Hermes. Is there really something wrong?''
That's the thing...

 I sighed.

 The cause of this sigh is the most important thing in the world to say to my sister, but I was so frustrated that I wanted to complain about it, even to her.

I've been getting too much attention lately because of the fact that everything I do is always getting more and more attention. I've been in a lot of trouble lately. So I thought, what can I do about it?
He's still talking about it.

 My sister reacted as expected.

 I knew it.
 Sis said, "Hermes is awesome! I'm a church person who wants to spread the word.
 I knew I was going to be taken aback by this complaint, so I felt it was the least I could do to tell my sister.

"Just give up on me, okay?
But that's just it.

 I plop down on the desk.
 I rolled my face onto the desk and rolled around in the cooler areas.

 I even started to feel as if the cool place was an unappreciated safe haven.

"Oh no, I want to go to the world where I won't be appreciated. No, no, no, no!
Are you a child already?

 My sister was even more dismayed.
 She sighed and turned her zit eyes on me.

'Even if the man who is my brother and father,'
That was your sister's idea, wasn't it?

 I stop rummaging around on the desk and look up at my sister.

 My brother father.
 To make it easier for me to take over the house, she filed a notice with the kingdom and made herself my adopted daughter.
 She said she couldn't possibly be the daughter to inherit the house before her father.

 I'm your brother and your father.
 I'm not sure if my sister likes the term "Ototo-usama," which is a combination of the two, but she often uses it to describe me.


What?
If you insist, I can help you out a bit.
Cooperation?

 I moved away from the desk and looked up.
 The "cooperation" my sister said stuck with me.

 I can't believe my sister would say this.
 Hermes amazing, it's impossible for a sister of the Hermes amazing church to come up with such a thing.

''.......What are you planning to do?''

 I was as alarmed as I could be.
 In response, my sister made a somewhat guttural face.

''It can't be helped, you can't be that spoiled,''

 Will you make it come true if I spoil it?
 Then we'll keep doing this.

This is a one-time thing.
Shit.

 As if she could see right through me, she went over to me.
 It's a good thing she's a big sister, as expected of her.

 But ... is it true?
 I was still on alert.

 I looked at my sister with wary eyes, trying not to miss what she was up to.

'It hurts you to be that wary, Hermes.
He hurt me. He wouldn't go out with me.
'Oh, my God. I can't believe Hermes thought of me that way.

 She turned her head away, hiding her face with her sleeve and said, "Oyo.......
 Utterly theatrical way.

'Huh ... okay. Are you really going to teach me?
Yeah, just this once.
Just this one?
Just this once.

 She emphasized that.
 Just this one time.................then I can get on board.
 When you say it that way, your sister doesn't have much of an agenda or anything like that in her case.

 You might be able to trust her a little bit.

 Well, I'm going to ask her about it.

"Are you really going to teach me how to lower my rating?
Yeah, that's how you get a proper reputation.
Really?
'I can't be responsible for anything until Hermes does something weird and fails, can I?

 She says while tilting her head slightly and saying, "I'm not going to blame my sister for my failure.
 Well........I don't intend to blame her for my failure, but.......

 If that's the case.

"Tell me, sis.
'It's simple. All you have to do now is go and s*xually harass all the maids in this mansion, all of them.
What?

 What are you talking about?
 s*xual harassment of all the maids in the house.

How could she do that?
I'm not asking you to do anything terrible. It's just a simple matter of passing the maids and giving them a squeeze on the ass.
"Rubbing your ass...

 I thought about it.
 Okay, I thought, I get it.

 If I did that, my reputation might go down.
 If you do it to all of them, not just one or two, your reputation might go down.

 It may be, but.........

''But.........''

 I was embarrassed, and she gave me the sternest look I've ever seen.

'Hermes,'

 And he called my name.

'No that one, no that one. That's what no good men say.
Ugh....

 My sister beat me to the punch with a good argument.
 My sister is right.

 This kind of "demododatte" is unmanly and uncool.
 To be honest, I kind of hate it.

'Hermes wants to lower his reputation, doesn't he?'
Yeah.
Then how do you do it this way?
I think it's working.
What then?
Well yes.

 I sighed a little.
 My sister was right.

 Let's stop being a demo-dad and just do it.

Okay. Thank you, sister.
Good luck.
I'm afraid of the reason for your smile, but...
Since it's Hermes, it will continue to be rated higher, so I just think it wouldn't be a bad idea to take it down a notch to get a reaction.
'Ngh....

 I didn't even hear a single word.
 It was so easy to imagine, I couldn't say anything back.

 I couldn't say anything back, but I figured it was the other way around, so I just had to be careful.

     *******

 I left the office and wandered around the mansion.
 After a short walk, I found a maid wiping down the stair railing.

 The staircase in the mansion is partly decorated with silver, so it has to be constantly wiped down and cared for.
 That was what the maid was doing.

 I approached the maid and touched her ass as I called out to her from behind.

'Yo, you're doing your job,'
'Yikes! What are you doing - I mean, master!

 The maid turned around with a flash and tried to protest, but when she realized it was me who had done it, her raised fist froze in place and her expression changed to one of astonishment.

'Haha, good luck with that,'

 Then he left the maid, who was so surprised that she froze, and walked away briskly.

 This time I found the maid wiping the windows with a mop with a handle.
 Many of the windows in the mansion are taller than a man's height, from floor to ceiling.
 In many places, you can't wipe the window without a handled tool.

 I walked up to the maid who was doing that and called out to her from behind to do the same, and touched her bottom.

'Whoa, you're working.'
What the hell are you doing?

 The maid was startled and turned around and twirled the mop around.
 I squatted down to avoid it.

''Say, master of the house!''
Good luck with your work.

 He wandered further into the mansion, leaving the maid frozen with the mop he had swept out.

 I found the next maid.
 She's walking around with a large amount of freshly taken sheets, probably dried, and she can't see much in front of her.
 She approaches it and rubs her ass from behind.

'Hiya! De-de-de-dare?
Are you working hard?
"Heh heh heh, Master Hermes!
Hang in there.

 He left the maids who were about to smash the sheets and walked away.

 After that, he continued to go around rubbing the maids' asses.

'You have a nice ass,'
Oh, ghee, ghee, ghee.
Hahahahaha, good or bad.

 Halfway through, I dared to go around and rub it in the groove.
 If you're going to do it, do it thoroughly.
 You can't do it halfway.

 You can't do it if you're too shy or if you look apologetic.
 It's meaningless if you don't do it thoroughly and try to be a part of it.

 With that in mind, I got into the role and rubbed my ass anyway.

 All the maids in the mansion that day.

 I did my best to conquer all of their butts.

     ☆

 The next day in the office.
 I was eavesdropping on the conversation.

 In the middle of the mansion, if I was so inclined, I could find out who and where was talking about what even in the office.

 As I was listening in, I overheard the maids making small talk in the kitchen.

''Eek! So you're saying that your master touched your ass too?
'Yes! And? Does that mean you have one?
Yeah, he just jumped on me.
Oh, um I was touched, too.
Me too, me too.
Me too.

 Everyone in the room came forward, one after the other, probably with their hands up in the air.
 That's right, because they all touched it.

"What are you doing, Master!

 The first maid to say it got angry, like Pumka.

 Oh? This is a good trend.
 Will it continue to devolve into a b*tc*ing contest by the maids?
 Well, that was perfect for your sister's love.

But that master, that master doesn't seem like a master, sir.

 Hmm?
 What is it?
 What is this?
 This is not the time to denounce this feeling.

 No, wait, wait, this is not the time to panic.
 There will be at least one girl who will defend you.

"Ah, well, that's certainly not your average master.
I don't think Lady Hermes is the kind of person who does that.
Speaking of which, I've been drinking--
I haven't been drinking.
I didn't.
It didn't happen.
Not the booze.

 ....Huh?
 It's not what I imagined.
 Why hasn't the denunciation contest started?

Barefacedly going around groping all of our asses with your face in front of you with an idea.
Or is it more like you're in the middle of something important, or is it camouflage?
It's possible, Master.
All right. Well, if that's the case, I'll stand by it.
Me too.
I'll have to put up with it, too.

 Whoa...
 That's pretty convincing.

 No, that's not true at all.
 I just wanted to do something bad and lower my reputation, okay?

 Hello Mina-san.

 I don't know, it didn't work.

 Was this a waste of time?

 I didn't know what to think, but as it turns out, it was worth it.

"But master is awesome.

 Huh?

I don't know what you're doing, but I can't believe you'd do something so detestable to hide it.
'Oh, you mean you're doing it even though you're playing the worst guy ever. It's amazing.
After all, Master Hermes is a wonderful master.

 One by one, the maids misunderstood and raised their ratings without permission.

 Eh, yeah, yeah!

 I just s*xually harassed him, but I didn't have any deep thoughts or anything at all.
 You can do something really bad and still get a good reputation.

 What am I going to do now?

I could have s*xually harassed him and done something really bad and my reputation would have gone up.
I don't know what I'm going to do anymore.
