42 Vesteria Kingdom and SS [5]





 We were led by Claude to the first floor of the castle.

"Here's your room, doughbug.

 He said, stopping in front of a room.

 And then.

"Hey, Claude? I'm not a dobbler, I'm a leper! How many times do I have to tell you? I'm going to get angry!

 Leah reprimanded Mr. Claude with a blue streak on her forehead.

I'm sorry, Miss Leah. But there's nothing I can do about this. ......

 He said and bowed deeply.
 Apparently, he can't stop calling me a dope worm, even if Leah warns him against it.

(Well, I don't really care what it is. ......)

 I've been called a "failing swordsman" and scorned for the past three years, so I don't think it's a big deal to be called a "doughnut" now.

 There was no point in getting into trouble here, so I slowly opened the door in front of me.

Oh, ......, that's a magnificent room.

 The room was large and spacious, with a luxurious looking bed and sofa.
 If you look closely, you can see that my luggage that I left on the plane has been brought in.

 Apparently, as His Majesty Gris had said, I would be treated as a guest.

 As I looked around the room, Claude cleared his throat.

I forgot to mention that I have been asked to be your watchman - gosh, your caretaker.

 You totally just said 'watchdog' ........

"I'll be stationed in the room directly across from you, so be sure to let me know when you go outside. --You know what will happen ...... if you fail to report it.

 He then flashed the sword in his waistband meaningfully.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

"Hmm, that's good. --I'm sure you'll be fine. ...... Well, I can see that you're going to lose in a hurry.

 He walked to the exit, leaving a final sarcastic note.

I'm not sure what to say.

 In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, you can contact us at ・・・・.

You'll be able to find a lot more information on this subject at ....... Your room is on the top floor. ......?

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

...... Oh, that's right.

 Leah's clumsiness was on display in the worst way imaginable.

"You're a dope, you ......... You take Leah into your room on a daily basis and ......?

 He sniffed out our relationship from Leah's reaction, and his face turned blue.

(This reaction of Claude's: ......)

 You can't possibly say that I live in the same room every day.

"No, of course not! Hey, hey, Leah?

"Yeah, yeah! Allen's right!

 We quickly agreed on something: .......

You're right! You dumb worm, you ......!

 He clenched his teeth, his eyes bleeding, and clenched his knuckles tightly.

 And then.

"......Mr. Leah, I will escort you ...... to your room.

 Mr. Claude, whose anger had turned to sadness, nodded and called for Leah.

"Oh, Allen, good night. See you tomorrow.

"Oh, oh, good night.

 In the room where the storm had passed, I sighed to myself.

(haha .......) Will this ruin my reputation again? (......)

 I'm sure Claude will tell on you again.

 I sighed loudly once more and stopped thinking.

I sighed loudly again and stopped thinking.

 Then I brushed my teeth, took a bath, and got ready for bed.

 By the time I looked at the clock, it was already half past nine in the evening.
 It seemed a little early to go to bed, but .......

(I've got a big fight coming up tomorrow, so I guess I'll call it a day. ......)

 After that, I turned off the lights and lay down on the big bed, and I felt a little strange.

I was alone today.

 Leah always slept on the left side of the bed, so I had unconsciously left her sleeping space empty.

(...... It's kind of weird, isn't it?)

 Normally, Leah is next to me, and we talk about our friends and swordsmanship, and before I know it, we're asleep together.

 So it was a little ...... lonely to be lying in bed alone like this.

(......Let's go to bed early today) 

 I lowered my eyelids and relaxed my body.

 The sound of a clock's second hand ticking away the time echoed through the quiet room.
 As I listened to the regular ticking of the hands, I gradually began to feel sleepy.

 Then, as if to push me over the edge, I heard the beautiful sound of insects from outside the room.
 Just the right amount of ambient sound and a soft bed.

 I felt a strong sense of inadequacy in this perfect space.

...... is not enough.



 I did my daily routine of early morning pretend play, but I had to go to ........
 After that, I prepared for my trip in a hurry and flew all the way to Vesteria.
 After that, I ate some ramekins and had a meeting with His Majesty Gris, and now I'm in bed.

 I haven't been able to pretend much at all.
 In fact, I can't even hold a sword properly.

(But I've already taken a bath. ......)

 (But I've already taken a bath. ) If I have to do it now, and then take a bath again, I'll have a very short time to sleep.

But you have to ...... do it, huh?

 Once you become aware of the need to pretend, there is no escaping it.

 When I got up and looked at the wall clock, the hands were pointing to exactly ten o'clock.
 Not much time left, after all.

(...... is fine. (It's okay. I'll just do a little bit of pretending and then I'll take a quick shower.

 You'll get less sleep, but you'll get more quality sleep for the time you spent swinging - no problem.

"Okay, let's go!

 I changed out of my nightgown into the uniform of the Thousand Blade Academy and quickly got ready.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

 He left the room, stood in front of the room directly across from him, and knocked on the door.

 But there was no answer at all.

"...... Mr. Claude? Are you there?

 I knocked a little louder this time, but still no answer.

I was in trouble. ......

 I can't go and pretend to be something I'm not without his permission.

(Maybe he's already asleep. ......?)

 I suddenly turned the handle and the door opened without a sound.
 The door seemed to be unlocked.

"...... Mr. Claude, are you coming in?

 Just to be safe, I said a few words and stepped into his room.
 The room was lighted and the furniture was exactly the same as in my room.

 And then.



 From the back of the room, I heard a pleasant humming sound and the sound of a shower.
 It seems that she is taking a bath.

(I see, that's why I didn't hear the knock.)

 If that's the case, I'll come back in about ten minutes.
 If anyone finds out that I've entered the room without permission, I'll be in trouble again.

 As I killed my footsteps and headed for the exit, I heard the shower stop and the curtain open.

(...... Worst timing ever.)

 If I rush out of the room now, I might be mistaken for a peddler.
 If that's the case, it's better to stay here and honestly tell them why.

 I decided to do so, and as I was standing in the middle of the room, I saw Mr. Claude coming toward me, all clothed.

 Then I couldn't believe my eyes.

"......, Claude, sir?

"......What?

 When she took off her clothes, she had a surprisingly slim body.

 In addition, her breasts had two large bulges that symbolized femininity.

"...... My breasts!

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out why ......?
