Dinner was over, and though I thought there was no need to reproduce everything, I brought Anju to the restroom in the toilet.
(Right, I caught Anju, who came with Concealment Magic, and questioned her here.)
“Hmm, Derus, what should we do?”
“I’m sorry, Anju, I intend to listen to everyone’s story properly, one by one, so tonight…”
Yes, there are also important things to discuss later, various things.
“Okay!”
“Um, Anju, is there anything before you go?”
“Uhm…”
I’ll go along with a kiss or two.
(Ah, but I’m scared if Clarice says something about the smell.)
Anju is deep in thought.
“Um, if you have anything to say, Anju?”
I wonder what she’s trying to do. A simple “Good night” would be fine, but…
As I thought that, the words Anju spoke were…!
“Shijimi Chance!!”
!?!?!?
“See you later!”
Anju disappeared with Instantaneous movement the moment she said goodbye.
She must have received some incomprehensible message again.
Yes, what a high-level Illusionist thinks is completely beyond me.
(Now, let’s get back to bed.)
The bedroom had a beautiful view of the night sky.
There was no Succubus on the large bed.
It was truly a night for just the two of us.
“Master Derus.”
“Excuse me, Helen. You’ve been mentioned before, but I’d like to confirm something.”
“Yes, what is it, Master?”
Wow, sitting closeby, she’s wearing the most expensive, most intricate, and sexiest underwear I bought today. This is amazing.
(Not “amazing,” but “suuuuper amazing.”)
Getting myself together, it’s time for the important talk.
“Helen, do you… like me?”
“Yes! Of course, I can’t live without you now, Master Derus!”
“Th-that’s right.”
Helen looks at me.
Even in the dark, I can feel her Serious expression.
“So, even if you’re no longer a slave?”
“Of course, and even if you are a slave.”
(In other words, her feelings for me are unchanging.)
From here on, let’s delve a little deeper.
“Helen, if you were freed from slavery…”
“Yes.”
“Do you think you could get along well with Nina?”
Helen thinks for a moment.
“Are you asking as adventurers, or…”
“Huh? You mean, like, in bed at night?”
“Including that.”
Ah, yes, yes.
It’s about the First Wife and the Fourth Wife.
“Well, first, as adventurers.”
“Regarding adventuring activities, it’s natural to follow the instructions of our Leader, Nina.”
“But there’s a possibility she might say something incorrect.”
“In that case, I will offer my counsel, but Clarice would likely notice it first.”
She’s so thorough.
“Then, as a family.”
“As your wife, Master Derus, it’s natural to follow the instructions of your First Wife, Nina.”
“Is that so? You can listen to her honestly?”
“Of course.”
…Can I truly believe those words?
“So Helen, I might have asked this before, but what do you like about me?”
“Perhaps our fated encounter?”
“Huh? That…?”
The action of that woman, who attacked me to strip me bare, that bandit-like behavior, is considered a ‘fated encounter’?!
“Master Derus, please consider it over a longer span of time.”
“Ugh, yes, come to think of it, Rui, was it?”
“Please stop.”
Ah, I seriously angered her!
“Hah! …Master, I apologize. Even though I am a slave…”
“No, I’m sorry. I might have been a little too mischievous too.”
I shouldn’t carelessly mention the names of ex-boyfriends.
More accurately, the name of the person who used to stalk me.
“Um, then, Master Derus, why me?”
“That’s, of course, um, well, that’s why…”
“Yes, what is it?”
Could it be that Helen perfectly matched a new fetish that Nina implanted in me? That perverted thought…
But it’s too late now, I can’t hide it.
“Helen, you are a wonderful woman, no matter who says otherwise.”
“My!”
“At least to me, you are a woman to be loved. That is an undeniable fact.”
Even in the dark, I can see her A face that looks like crying.
“Uu, uuuu…”
“And next, with Clarice, could you get along well…?”
“I can’t hold back anymore!”
“Eh?”
I was pushed down!
“B-b-but there’s still more to talk about…”
“Once we finish, I’ll answer anything, s-so please!”
“Calm dow—nggghhh!!!!”
(Helen can’t hold back now.)
“…Nn, ffu, Master Derus, I love you.”
“Um, well then, for now, let me confirm.”
“Yes!”
As I tried to calm her down, stroking Helen’s head and hair…
“Even if I’m no longer a slave, will you still love me, unchanged?”
“Yes! Of course!”
Ooh, Helen’s intensity is unbearable!
“And get along with Nina?”
“Of course!”
“With Clarice too?”
“Of course!”
“And Anju?”
“Of course!!”
“With Nastasia too?”
“…Yes.”
What was that pause for?!
“Th-then…”
“I will now dedicate my entire self to you, Master Derus.”
“So please, train me, Helen, however you like…”
“Helen…”
“Master Derus…!!”
And so, that night, my heart was melted by Helen.
(Yes, Helen’s love is just the right amount of scary… just right?!)
