Aine = Clunet, the big sister maid slave (Doroi), has an early morning.
She wakes up listening to the birds and arranges her bed nicely. Then I wash my face at the well and try to change into my usual maid's clothes - my usual maid's clothes - in my room, but I remember that they were covered in muddy water from yesterday's battle. It can't be helped, so today is the dress I wore when I was an apprentice guildmaster of the 'Common People's Guild'. When I haven't worn it in a while, I feel uncomfortable, like I'm in a fancy dress.
It was only a short time ago that I was in the "Common People's Guild", yet it feels like a past life event.
Muttering that, Aine snaps the collar in front of the mirror.
Yeah. This is the current me. I'm master's... Natsu-kun's slave, and everyone's "big sister".
Mmmm.
Nodding in front of the mirror, I tie my hair in a tight knot and get into the spirit.
Once I put on my apron, I'm ready to serve you today.
Aine hummed as she left the room.
''Good morning, Aine,''
Good morning, Cecil.
When I went to the kitchen, my fellow slave, Cecil, was waiting for me.
It's Little Cecil's job to light the firewood. He fired a weak "flame arrow" into the pile of firewood, and the ignition was complete.
In return, Aine brushes Cecil's hair until the water boils.
This is her usual routine.
Cecil's silver hair is like fine silk thread, and it feels so good to the touch. When I was little, my grandfather used to tell me myths when I was little with my brother Nias. I wondered if the fairies and goddesses in those myths were like this.
'You're very kind, Aine.'
Really?
Because I'm a demon.
Aine's slave mate, Cecil-chan, looks at me curiously.
'Cecil-chan is Aine's mate, you know?
Aine laughs as she brushes her silver hair.
Cecil laughs ticklishly when she says that.
One more important thing. Cecile is Nah-kun's precious candidate for a wife.
Aine was not at all surprised when she heard that the two of them had made a soul engagement. Because for Aine, Nena-kun is beyond that kind of karma. The demoness Cecil-chan and the mysterious boy Nah-kun are a perfect match for each other. And, of course, with Rita.
When I stroke Cecil-chan's flowing hair, I feel happy.
It's a soft and gentle moment.
When I finished brushing my hair, Cecil looked at Aine. Is it okay? The hollowed out eyes that seem to be asking, "What do you mean? Aine nods, and Cecil runs off like a puppy off its leash.
The destination is their master's room.
Waking up Nah-kun is an important ritual at the beginning of the day.
That's why I do it in rotation.
Today it's Cecil's turn to wake up. Tomorrow it's Rita's turn. Aine is my sister, so she's the third one.
Well, I have to make breakfast.
Aine throws the chopped vegetables into the boiling water.
The morning peddlers come to the villa, so it's nice to have fresh eggs available. Because we all worked hard yesterday, we put more salted meat in the water. We are not stingy with eggs. As Aine, who's in charge of the food service, I try to keep a good balance between everyone's health and financial situation.
koto koto, koto koto.
It smells good.
Good morning, Ms. Rita! Hi, Rita!
As Aine is stirring the pot, she hears Cecil's voice from the hallway.
This house is really good for hearing voices. Yes, really.
''Rita-san, you and Nagi-sama were good friends yesterday, weren't you!
Wow!
Did you and Nagi properly 'engage' each other's souls? I would be so happy to be like a real sister to Rita-san: ......
Wow. ──────!
Dashing out of the wind and into the kitchen, Rita, the beastly girl, jumped into the kitchen.
She is a very beautiful girl with golden ears and tail.
For Aine, she's a senior slave and someone she can rely on. Aine can't fight in the vanguard, so Nah-kun's life depends on Rita-san. I always think of her. I wish Aine could work as hard as Rita.
But the current Rita-san has a bright red face and looks embarrassed as she looks down on her face.
"Good morning, Rita-san.
Oh, good morning, Aine.
Rita-san's ears are twitching and she's looking at Aine, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Sweat - oh, by the way.
'It's a nice day today.'
'What? Yeah, right.
The laundry seems to dry better.
...... Yeah, right.
So if you have to wash your dishes, don't be a bother.
Oh, the raid?
You must have sweated last night. Didn't Rita and Nei-kun sweat last night? I know you've been working hard. So, give Aine your nightgown and underwear. When you go to change the bed sheets later, I will bring hot water and a cloth with me, so you can wipe your body with it. Aine will wipe the parts you can't reach and that's it?
Aine's kindness hurts me...
Rita ran off into the hallway, screaming.
That's strange. I wonder if I did something wrong.
As Aine was tilting her head, Leticia came from the hallway.
Leticia, still in her pajamas, is yawning while brushing her blue hair with her hands.
She was Aine's best friend, and she was so concerned about Aine, who was a slave, that she went along with me to this point. Even though her position has changed, her attitude hasn't changed a bit. Nah-kun, Cecil and Rita-san all trust me. Aine is proud of her friends.
Rita-san ran out of the house in a hurry, did something happen to her?
No? It's nothing, okay?
'I'm climbing straight up to the top of the tree in the garden and shaking and shaking?
I'm sure he's just getting ready to hang the laundry out to dry.
I was just going to pass the string between the garden trees to dry it out.
That's what I'm talking about, Rita. Very tactful.
I'd like to talk to Aine, by the way.
Story?
Aine asks back as she sets the pot down from the hearth.
Yup. The soup is almost done. We just need to steam it for a while.
Once it's steaming, you have to stir it around.
''It's ...... Nagi-san, though. I can see that you and Cecil and Rita have become good friends.
You know exactly what I mean, Laetitia.
This building is very sound proof.
Leticia turns bright red and looks to the side. Why?
I was so nervous last night that I couldn't sleep... and I don't care about any of that! It's Aine that I'm worried about!
Aine?
Aine doesn't think she's late to the party, does she?
Am I going to be late? Why?
Cecil and Rita have become such good friends that they have "engaged" with Nay-kun.
Yeah. That's Nacun. You've pulled off a legendary ritual.
If the three of you continue to push the envelope and become friends, you might be able to have a baby.
Yeah. I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure he'll be just like you, Nuke-kun.
Aine answered with a twinkle in her eye, and Leticia sighed in dismay.
''Aine, do you really think that's okay?''
Yeah, sure.
'But Cecil-san and Rita-san are the key combatants in your party. Who's going to take care of the kids while you two are out on a quest?
Of course, Aine is watching.
You know how hard it is to take care of a baby.
'Of course, Aine has it all under control. It's more of a treat.
Baby needs milk, don't you? What are you going to do while you two are away?
Of course, Aine gave her...
Chinese parsley
The wooden ladle fell from Aine's hand as she was about to say it.
It rolled on the floor, making a dry sound.
The light disappears from Aine's eyes.
Her vision began to wobble and shake.
I couldn't believe it. This couldn't have happened.
No way - no way, no way .......
I'm everyone's "big sister" and I overlooked such a simple thing...
Aine crumples to the floor with a thud.
She gets down on her hands and knees and starts to shake with a rattle. Sweat runs down from her white forehead. Aine involuntarily squeezes her chest, as if realizing her critical oversight.
'...... Aine is a titty, not a titty .............'
He finally realized it.
'Oh, my God, Letitia! Aine, I can't feed Naya's baby!
It was a blind spot. I was completely blindsided.
Aine's plan should have been perfect. I have no problem with the three of them becoming friends with their younger brother, Nei-kun, and their precious slave companions, Cecil-chan and Rita-san. It's so heartwarming to watch.
The three of them continue to get along well, have a child, and Aine raises it.
It was like a dream come true.
When I woke up, I'd wake the kids up, make dinner for everyone and see everyone off on their quests. Then I would do laundry, make clothes, and clean the house. A simple day passes. It's what Aine lost a long time ago and what she wants most.
I want to be like a sister and brother to Nay-kun.
Slave Ane
Yeah, it's new. Nice.
So I'm happy enough as it is.
I'm going to be everyone's "big sister" and live a carefree life, when I was supposed to be: ......
"Girls have to have children to get boobs. ............
Totally, I'm stunned that you don't realize that, even though you're a friend of .......
But if you have milk, someone else will give it to you.
Oh, you're your sister, you're not going to leave such an important matter to someone else?
Huh!
'Oh, I can hear you. I can hear Mr. Nagi's baby crying because he's hungry. His ears are a little pointy, so it must be Cecil's baby. He's got a little quiver in his throat. I'm hungry. I don't know why the maid's sister in front of me won't give me any milk. I wonder if she doesn't like me. I love my big sister so much. ...... Why?
'Stop it, Leticia, stop it, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. ......'
It was as if Aine could hear the baby's cry in her ears as well.
A cold night. Nah-kun, Cecil-san and Rita-san didn't return from their important quest. A small baby crying in front of the fireplace. The brown skin is Cecil's inheritance. A cute baby with bright red eyes.
The child is crying, but Aine can't give him any milk. Her bare chest is shaking in vain. She tries to get someone to bring her milk, but there is a blizzard outside. Irgapha is a southern town, but in Aine's imagination it's a blizzard for some reason. The sound of a baby's cries echoed in the air. All Aine can do is listen to it.
.................. I can't believe I didn't even notice this: ......
Aine covered her face with her hands.
Letitia's hand tapped her shoulder with a plop.
'Now you understand. Aine. You can't just be happy that the other two have become friends with Naku-kun.
When I looked up, Aine's best friend was looking at me with strangely kind eyes.
''What do I do. 'What do I do, Leticia!
'That's easy,'
...... easy, right?
As much as Cecil-san and Rita-san. You can be friends with Mr. Nagi, too.
Holding up her index finger as if to remind her, Leticia continues.
''That's right, if the two of them are going to have children with Nagi-san, then Aine will have to have children with Nah-kun too, in order to give those children milk!
Zudon.
Aine's body trembled as if she had been struck by lightning.
It was as if her vision, which had been shrouded in fog, had cleared up with a bang.
It was sweet.
How sweet I was.
It wasn't enough to just be happy in the present.
For the sake of Cecil and Rita's children who will be born someday, I have to have a child with Nah-kun. That's Aine's mission as the 'big sister' of the party! It wasn't enough to be happy in the present (now).
Everyone's big sister had to prepare for the future.
But...
Aine is Naya-kun's 'big sister' and you're allowed to do that?
Since you're the big sister, you should be the one to guide Nai-kun.
Leticia whispers in Aine's ear, as if to remind her.
Ms. Nagi is skilled enough to realize the Soul Agreement, but she doesn't necessarily have any experience in actually having children. I've been observing you all for a while now and I can tell that from your every word. Then it is up to you, Aine, to teach Nagi to have a child, so that she can have a child properly!
Ha!
It was a blind spot.
Aine felt as if she had now finally realized her role.
It's not "even though you're the big sister" - it was "because you're the big sister".
It was "because I'm the big sister".
'Besides, if Aine can feed her baby, Cecil-san and Rita-san will be able to go on the quest without worry, right? That way, everyone will be happy!
Letitia! Thank you!
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
Leticia is my best friend, after all. She made me realize how sweet Aine is.
This body is dedicated as Nay-kun's big sister. It's nothing more than Aine making a child with Nacun for the sake of their babies.
This is for everyone.
I'm really happy, but that's another story. I'm so excited and thrilled that my heart is about to explode, but that's another story.
I'm going to ask Nei-kun for help! Aine should do the same with everyone else, she said!
Okay. Good luck with that.
'Watch the pot! Thank you, Letitia, I love you!
Picking up her skirt, Aine ran towards Nay-kun's room.
'You are totally out of my league.
Letitia murmured as she rested her cheekbones on the table.
Serving spirit is good, but Aine needs to be a little more honest with herself.
...... It's pretty hard to push back, isn't it? Really.
Leticia can't stay with us forever.
She has to return to Metekal once she hands over the villa in Irgafa to Nagi.
Leticia is also a part of a noble family. She's a viscount.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world and what's going on in the world.
Nagi shouldn't look uncomfortable either. He's a logical person, but he's a good-natured person at heart.
I trust that part of him.
Otherwise, Letitia wouldn't have given her best friend Aine to be in charge.
"Good luck with that, Aine.
Letitia saw a small bill lying on the floor. It was a "service point check card" that Aine had dropped off. Every time Aine did something good for everyone, the circle would increase by one. Did I mention that when this is a card full, it's called 'soul about'.
'Oops, my hand slipped.
Letitia inadvertently threw her (・・・・) loyalty card into the kamado fire.
'Oh no, you failed, you failed. It's Aine, you wouldn't be angry.
I'll make you a replacement later. Write a bunch of circles on a board full of the same size.
There's no need to wait until you've accumulated points.
If there's something you want, you have to reach for it now.
'Well, and let's think of some names for Aine's children. If it's a boy, it could be 'Naias' ...... but the name of Aine's brother, who died early, would be ...... a bit of a bad omen, wouldn't it? Nagi wouldn't seem to mind, but if it's a girl ...... it would be ...... right.
With a soft smile on her face, Leticia was delusional.
'Good morning, Aine.'
'Oh, good morning! Nah, nah, nah!
with a plop
Aine, who was running at a brisk pace, came out of the room and stopped when she bumped into Nagi's chest.
She looked around involuntarily.
Cecil, who went to wake up Nah-kun, is not there.
She must be washing her face because I can hear the sound of water from outside.
You know what? Aine is, you know.
It was so close.
The smell of Natsuko's body heat and sweat came directly to me through the thin pajamas.
It was throbbing. I can't breathe well. Hey, what's that?
Oh, I'm sorry, Aine.
Before Aine could say anything, Naykun opened her mouth.
She scratches her head with a troubled look on her face and looks at Aine's shoulders to her knees.
''You're wearing a dress from the guild today. Did your maid's outfit get ruined in yesterday's battle?
That's right.
When we fought against the Black Armor yesterday, Aine hid under a bridge to intercept them.
I wiped them out with 'Increased Sewage' when they jumped into the river, but that's when Aine's maid outfit got covered in muddy water. It can't be helped, so today I'm wearing a dress from the commoners' guild days.
Nah-kun, you noticed.
There's no maids' clothes sold in this town: ...... I'm sorry. I'll buy you a new one when we get to Ilgafa, just be patient for a while.
Nah-kun: ......
Whew, whew.
Aine's chest grows warm. Fluffy, fluffy, fluffy.
............ Huh?
I don't know, I asked you for a favor.
It's okay.
It's no big deal to forget about it.
Just hugging Nah-kun and doing this is enough.
If it's important, I'll remember it later. If it's important, I'll remember it later, and Nah-kun will give it to me.
You'll be able to see that Aine's master is that kind of person.
"You don't need to worry about the maid's clothes!
Aine tapped her chest with a plop.
You can't underestimate Aine's housekeeping skills, Nay-kun. The weather is good, and we're going to have a big laundry day! It's a nice day, and we're having a big laundry day! You're going to wash away all the dirt from your trip!
Yeah. I'll help you. I can do a fair amount of housework.
'I can't let my master do that to me!
No, but I don't feel comfortable lounging around when everyone else is working.
Then just check that my laundry is in a straight line! I wonder if everyone's clothes and underwear are properly hung up. And for Cecil and Rita's sake, what colors and shapes do you like!
That's pretty challenging!
Let's have some food first! Eeeeeeeeeeee!
So Nagi and Aine went to the kitchen.
I made sandwiches for Rita, who didn't come down from the tree, and we all ate soup and bread.
Once that was done, we did the laundry. We all put on our underwear and gobbled up the laundry that had accumulated during the trip so that we could get dirty. Rita, who handed me a laundry string on a tree branch, also came down and helped me with the laundry by then.
A lot of laundry hanging on the tree in the yard.
After having the master check them, we had lunch.
We ate the rest of the morning's food together and discussed our plans for the future. Nah-kun is planning to go to the hot spring in this town tomorrow. I heard that Iris-san gave him an invitation to go to the hot spring. Aine and the others were invited, but I refrained from going.
Tomorrow, the Irgapha Lords' army will be coming. It would be safe after that, but that's it. It's a slave's job to protect the master's back.
The master is disappointed. He's very kind. I love him.
The look on your face reminded me of something I forgot to say before. But it's all right.
Everyone is laughing.
Leticia is glancing at Aine, and she looks like she's dumbfounded.
This is the most important time. You'll have to wait until you get a chance to ask me at .......
Well, now you're going to join us for a little taste of my home country's traditions.
After you've eaten and put away the dishes, it's 'nap time'
This is a tradition in Nä-kun's hometown, or rather, it's a tradition that Nä-kun wanted to follow.
She said that if she ever decided to make a Kaisha, she would definitely introduce it. She tried very hard to tell me that I should take an hour's nap after eating because the blood rushes to my stomach and makes me slow-witted, but for Aine, as long as I can just lounge around with the others, that's all that matters.
Nah-kun is lounging on the couch. Cecil is lying at her feet. Rita-san is curled up with her knees near Nah-kun's hands, and Leticia is sitting on a chair with her eyes closed.
Aine is everyone's big sister, so she's the last to close her eyes.
I can lie down near the couch where Nah-kun is, but before I do that - I have to tell her what I remembered earlier, before I forget.
...... naa-kun.
Aine whispered into Nay-kun's ear. In a low voice so as not to wake her up.
'Someday, make sure Aine's tits come out, please ......
...... Yeah, ............ is fine. How magical is that ......?
It's family magic: ......, nee-kun.
Hearing Nay-kun's voice, which is half sleepy, Aine nodded.
Yeah. I'm satisfied.
Holding her throbbing heart, Aine lies down near the sofa. For some reason, Cecil's long ears are twitching, and Rita's animal ears and tail are also responding. It's like everyone is having a strange dream.
Aine is dreaming all the time. I hope that this kind of day will last forever.
Then, good night, Naki-kun.
Have a nice dream.
I wish I could be a big sister to many children.
Future.
I wish you all the best. Aine's master. ...... Nah-kun.
