73 Episode 73 "Extra Part 5" Training the Natural Elf, Priestess, and Maiden Heart "".txt

The kitchen of the lord's house was large and always packed with people.

Before I knew it, it had become Rafilia's role to bake breakfast bread there.

''I've been entrusted with the care of Iris-sama. I will do my best!

With that, Raphilia placed the shaped bread on a tray.

The cook, who has been with the company for 30 years, is a pleasant man and he heats up the cauldron just in time to bake the bread.

Uncle says.

He's got a lot of laughs now," he said. That's all thanks to little Rafilia.

Oh, no, you're embarrassing.

It's partly because you no longer have a poisonous role to play, but it's also because you can now eat hot food. I'm talking about the fact that you used to eat cold food that looked so boring.

Really? ....... So it's all thanks to the master.

Raphilia couldn't help but hold her mouth as she watched the bread burn.

Uncle is a nice guy, but he talks a lot. I feel like I might accidentally slip up too.

Both Rafilia and Iris have many secrets, so we must be careful.

''Even so, making an elf a maid, as expected of Rafilia-chan's master, isn't it?

It's enough to convince a sea dragon.

It's not exactly a festival, is it?

It's nice how they can be so mean sometimes.

Well, he's still little, so he's bound to have a lot of experience.

I'd rather see Rafilia experience more than just a few things.

'...... You're talking about little Rafilia's master (Lady Iris), aren't you?'

...... Yes, we're talking about Master, right?

"".................. hahahahahahaha"

They looked at each other and laughed.

This was the only way to get out of trouble.

It was a maneuver that Raphilia had learned during her years of wandering.

The bread was baking as we talked, so we decided to put it on a tray and take it to our room.

Today's breakfast is freshly baked bread and boiled eggs. It's fish in vinegar and fruit.

The fish used in the pickling is a high quality fish called "swordfish". The head is literally shaped like a sword. The meat is tasty.

The fruit is a fresh yuguesca (green apple) from the south. Shall I peel it normally, or shall I try to peel it while jumping in the air (I didn't say I could)?

As Rafilia was walking down the corridor, a tall man came from the other side.

Short, cropped hair. A trimmed beard. The black clothes are glossy and shiny and would normally be intimidating, despite the fact that he was asleep and waking up, but unfortunately that's not the case with Rafilia.

While receiving a strong look straight into her eyes, Rafilia feels, "Ah, you're a lord, aren't you? You're Iris-sama's dad."──that's all.

In the first place, I don't think the lord-san has any business in the kitchen. The outfit of coming around the corner of the corridor now also feels somewhat contrived.

But it doesn't matter because it's for their convenience, and if you don't go back to your room soon, you'll end up losing your breakfast. I'm looking forward to hearing Iris-sama say that it's delicious. Even more so after hearing that he was only able to eat cold food because of the poisonous role he played in the past.

Why is the lord blocking my path? You are such a bother, aren't you?

You're a pain in the ass," he said. You're the new maid, Rafilia-Grace, right?

No need for an introduction. What do you want to know?

I hurry, so I cut in quickly and easily.

The lord glares at the rude elf. But after all, I don't feel anything.

If this was a master, I would get a thrill if he looked at me for a second, if he spoke to me, I would go 'thump', and if he stared at me, I would shake my head. I guess he's not as good as the master, isn't he? I'm sorry.

You must have been waiting here because you wanted to hear what Iris-sama or the Master had to say, right?

No, it's not: ......

I don't mind. All I want to do is bring you a hot meal. I'll be happy to answer your questions, but I'd appreciate it if you'd be quick about it. But I hope you'll be quick about it.

''Oh, right, so ...... you're not going to the 'Sea Dragon Hero''s house today?'''

The lord-sama looked away and asked with a coughing fit.

'I'm curious as a father, how far is the relationship between Iris and the brave Lord ......? Do you have any plans to have children ......?

And that's what my lord told me.

It was Iris's room.

Rafilia said while tearing bread from the table and making a cup of tea for Iris.

'For now, I've answered 'I'll check with him,' but what should I say in that situation?'

You can tell it like it is.

Iris frowned and threw the egg-dipped bread into her mouth.

She wipes the crumbs from her fingers with her stark white nightie. Her hair is still ruffled, but she's stopped trying to get around in front of her fellow slave, Raphilia. Especially when it's just the two of us. It is Iris's motto that she doesn't keep secrets from her dearest friends.

The only thing she wants to keep secret from her father is the fact that she has a master-slave contract with her brother. The only thing I want to keep from your father is the master-slave contract with your brother, because there is nothing else to hide between Iris and your brother.

'Okay. Then I'll be honest: 'We kissed twice and took a bath together once. I'll be honest with you, 'Two kisses and one bath together'.

Gubbo!

Iris, who was on the verge of drinking her tea, held her mouth.

'Wow, wow. Dear Iris. Please don't drown on the ground!'

Raphilia rushes over and holds out a cup of water.

Iris wipes her mouth with a napkin and looks resentful.

'Duh, duh, who do you think is to blame?　Shisho!

You said you wanted to be honest.

'Too honest!　And ...... that kiss is for the use of skills, so it doesn't count ....... Kissing your brother will be a little better when you are in a ...... proper and memorable mood.

Iris, holding her reddened cheeks, shook her head to break the delusion.

'Anyway!　I respect my master's frankness, but you could use a little more maidenheadedness, couldn't you?

I've got a damsel in distress.

...... Are you sure?

I'm the one who corrects the letters to the Master that you write to him every night.

'Because ...... you have to put your thoughts into it to move your brother's heart. And Iris doesn't have a heart for poetry. That's where Master's poetry skills come in.

I've already put enough thought into it, so I think it's time to give it to the master.

Is that what you're saying about not having a maiden's heart?

That's not true. I know exactly what's in your heart, Iris.

...... for example?

"When you flush your back in the bath, I want you to imagine my hands are your master's hands and I want you to know that you are breathing hot air.

No, I didn't!　I didn't!

Iris gasped and waved her hand.

Then, reflexively, I go to the window. Outside the window, I can see Nagi's house across the forest. There's no way she can hear him talking from this distance, but Iris' face turns red at the thought of being heard.

Iris growls, "Mmmm," and glares at Raphilia's face.

She's a respected teacher, but the lack of delicacy is troubling. It's also troubling to see that he's taller than I am, and that the big fruit twitches against his chest when he moves.

If I had that much, I wouldn't have to continue the endless loop of writing and hiding a letter to my brother, writing and hiding it.

''Anyway, I'm going to ask Master to train his maidenhood a little more.

Well, why not?

'Anything. Read and study this book.

Iris took a book from the bookshelf, bound with a string.

''It's a love story that is very popular these days. I think my master would understand the maiden's heart if he read it.'

'The Knight Prince Helmatoka and the Holy Princess Filialuna'?

Yes. It's a tragic love story between a prince who stands against the demonic dragon tribe and a princess who is destined to serve them.

Huh. A prince chosen by lore or a princess blessed by ancient magic doesn't seem very realistic.

Master is an elf, right?　He's skilled in magic!

Well, but since you recommended it, I'll read it.

''Yes. By the way, that's the first volume, 'Demon Army Attack Edition'. Right now, it's up to the 12th volume, 'Divine Sword Awakening Arc'. Let's read it together, Master.

(2 hours later)

''U, u, u, u, u... Why, why can't Prince Hermatica understand the feelings of Princess Filialuna!　He wants to follow you to the 'Abyssal Dungeon' attack, so why don't you just take him with you!

''Isn't that right?　Why is it 'Let's get married after we finish this dungeon attack' here!　It's strange!　To live together and die together is what lovers are for!

But I can understand why the prince doesn't want to put the princess in danger.

'I understand. But the princess's indolence in waiting for the prince's return for six months is already .......

Dear Iris, please let me continue.

I'm sorry. The author died of the epidemic, so it's unfinished.

Oh no!

'I'm sorry. I wanted to share this disappointment with my mentor: ......

"'Aaaaaaahhhhhh'

So, after enjoying the love story of this world, the two of them...

I wasn't feeling up to it, so I decided to go to Nagi's house for a visit.

Welcome, you two. Are you going to have lunch?

'My dear prince, I am extremely grateful to you. I can only express my gratitude to you for your hospitality in a land of peace, where I can do nothing but wait for your return. At the very least, grant me the honor of nipping your hand in the palm of your hand as it passes over all difficulties.

...... Yes?

Just when I thought I was coming to visit, Raphilia said something weird.

She's on her knees, or rather, she's on her knees in the doorway as usual.

'Um, Iris, what's this?'

Right now, Master is training his maidenhood.

Iris is nodding behind Raphilia, hugging her book.

...... You've been influenced by reading something. Raphilia, he's a midget.

Raphilia is in the doorway, her forehead on the ground. Her large breasts are pressed and shaped against the floor, and her pink hair, tied back, is swinging. Her elf ears are bright red to the tips. ...... I wonder what story is unfolding in her head.

Raphilia and Iris both come with me as Aine is making lunch ......

'Yes. I know that the prince has a princess who has grown up like a real brother and sister in his heart. But I hope that you can at least accept the fact that I miss seeing you every day.

I looked up and saw Raphilia looking at me with a really lonely look on her face.

...... That's different than usual.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier and more fun.

...... Yeah. It's a good idea to think about the feelings of a slave as a master, right?

I'm going to have to do my best to keep Rafilia company.

"Prince.

Not the prince, but what?

Could you take a moment with me before you complete your mission?

Of course. Princess.

I tried to fit it in.

These conversations were something I thought about a lot when I was making the game.

'O beautiful princess with cherry red hair! Do you not know your worth?

No, sir. No, Your Highness. Such words are too good for me, you know.

I may have pushed thee too hard. Forgive me for sending thee to his distant land, though it was my duty to do so. But in the coming journey, thou shalt also be a member of the company trip. If the time of destiny comes, I hope you'll be waiting for me with the memory of the present. And if I disappear one day, may I be remembered by thee.

"Aww, wow, wow, wow, wow!

'Oh, brother ............ amazing.'

"The princess around me is called 'Princess of Confession'. It is the strongest name I've ever heard of, a name that spells death to those who oppose me. You shall go down in legend as my fourth Confessional Princess. Cherry-haired, magical princess! I beg you to be with the fifth princess and protect her until then. That is the blessing I give you, and the proof of my fidelity that you are mine.

Well, that's not really true.

'Do not understand, Raphilia-Grace. Body and soul, if you are already part of me and thou art ......

Ma-tah! Oh, awwww. ......

Huh?　Rafilia is shaking?

He's on his knees on the floor, hands combined in a prayer form, looking up at me with a bright red face.

And.

We've arrived, Master!　I'm all out!

Since when did you lose?

My heart will explode at the same time. The Master's words are so powerful, that a hollowed-out maiden's heart couldn't stand up to the power of his words. ......

Raphilia is mumbling as she holds her chest.

'But don't think we've won this one!　I'm going to train my maidenhood with Iris-sama, and someday I'm going to bring the master to a standstill. I've lost this time. Because ...... it's gotten so much worse: ......

Then Raphilia grabbed my hand and ...... pressed it against her left breast.

It was so natural that I didn't have time to resist.

Boom, boom, bomba-kun.

Rafilia's heart was beating as if it was going to break.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

'Remember this heartbeat, Master. One day I'll make my Master like this. 'When I think of Raphilia, I get nervous! I'll make you say, 'I can't sleep!

Rafilia, who said that, was smiling wryly, and it was somehow different from the usual.

Rafilia, you can make a face like this too.

I knew she wasn't just a natural elf, though.

''Therefore, Iris-sama. Today, we are retreating (tettai)!

'What, eh?　But what about dinner with your brother ......?

''I can't get my food down my throat in this state. And the ...... master's gaze is kind of embarrassing. I don't know why, but I feel like I need to work on my maidenhood more.

'I understand. If you say so, Master.

Iris gulped and clenched her fists.

I've figured it out. ...... You're getting along well, both of you.

'I mean, I don't really understand the situation. 'Iris?'

'Both my mentor and Iris have just found a new identity thanks to my brother.

Iris laughs, a mischievous look on her face.

'I'm in the process of checking each and every one of my minds and thoughts and stuff like that. If you feel a little unsteady, just let it go. Big brother.

...... So that's what it is.

I remember when I first arrived in this world, I was like that too.

I was reassessing my skills and what I could and couldn't do.

Raphilia was just freed from her unhappy nature and Iris was just freed from her mission as a priestess, so maybe they're in the process of acclimating themselves to their new environment in the same way. If so, it can't be helped, can it?

''Therefore, I'm going home for today.

With that, Iris lowered her head.

Raphilia is shy and has already walked out of the house. She's waiting on the front porch for Iris' escort duty, but she's red in the face and won't look at me.

It was a fresh reaction.

'Oh, yeah. I need to ask my brother one favor, if that's okay with you?

Okay. What?

Would you mind rubbing Iris's back for a moment?

...... Why?

When you take a bath ...... no, no, no, a sort of Iris maiden enhancement ritual, I suppose.

OK, though.

Iris has her back to me, her green hair lifted up to her shoulders.

I reach out and touch the area around Iris's spine. It's thin. If I put too much pressure on it, it might break. I'll just use my fingertips. I run my fingers down Iris's back. I let go of my hand when I've brushed it from her shoulders to the top of her waist, and then Iris said, "Thank you," as she let her hair down.

'Thank you so much. I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah. I've got a travel meeting tomorrow.

I waved my hand and looked away from Iris and Raphilia.

It was kind of a weird feeling.

If I had a younger sister in the throes of puberty, I might feel like this.

'I knew Master was a great guy.'

''Yes. I'm ashamed of myself for boasting about my maidenhood to my master.

'You need to study more maidenhood if you want to make your master flutter.

So I've prepared this book.

...... "...... 'A book that will enthrall the lords of your choice just by reading it'?

Shh. Don't do it. This was obtained by giving the wipes to another maid. If your father finds out, he'll take it away.

All right. Then we'll read it in secret, in the middle of the night.

'Master, please be vigilant of your surroundings. Make sure everyone is asleep before you knock, six times, three times, four times, in that order.

I get it. I'll just learn "O-N-I-Chan" and "I-R-Su" and "Da-Su-Ki".

"Don't read people's minds!　Master is already ......

That's why.

Completely forgetting their original purpose, the two begin to formulate a new plan to capture their master.

And the next morning.

The next morning, the lord appeared in front of Rafilia, who was carrying a tray of breakfast like yesterday.

''Good morning, my lord.''

Morning. So, about yesterday.

...... yesterday?

"I said, 'I'll check with Iris herself,' right?

?

Those were the words she had answered yesterday when she was asked about Nagi and Iris' relationship.

But there is already not a shred left in Rafilia's head, which has been overwritten by "Chuunibyou Love Story", "Nagi's Words" and "The Book that Makes Lords Enthralled Just by Reading It", including the contents of her conversation with the lord.

The lord raises his eyebrows at Rafilia's expression of serious forgetfulness.

But then he remembers that the other party is Nagi's slave, kohon, he coughs once. You've regained your composure and repeated yesterday's question.

I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to do with it, but I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to do with it. But ...... if you are going to have children, you can use him in many ways ...... no, I have to take care of him.

'Oh, was that the story? If that's the case, then you can go to .......

Nagi and Iris.

Nagi's, the words that make a slave's heart flutter in an instant.

Iris's maidenhood.

And the strategy I came up with after reading The Book of Enchanting Lords by Simply Reading.

The words that came from the combination of all of them...

"'If you reduce the size of your bathing suit by 80% this summer on the beach, you're going to be a hero.

''────────?!''

Passing by the side of the stiffened lord with an unvoiced cry, Rafilia went to Iris' room.

I have many plans for today.

I'm going to eat my meal, wipe Iris's body, and then go to Nagi's house.

I have to test the results of yesterday's research.

After yesterday, I'm sure my maidenhood must have gotten a lot better. Today is the day I'm going to make my master thrill.

And so, by the time I arrived at Iris' room, the conversation with the lord-sama had completely disappeared from Raphilia's mind──.

A few days later, the two are left to ponder over the large number of swimsuits the lord has sent them.
