99 5-14 (Tentative) King Jia of Weijutsu Tournament-Efforts for White-

'So, you mean to tell me that the reason you seemed uninspired is because Iris was sitting on my lap?

So....

He said he was jealous.

So....

So you don't know what you're feeling anymore.

So....

Now I'm preaching to White.

But after listening carefully.

The reason for this is that I was going to use my power when I tried to get Iris off my lap.

After that, Iris and Spalier-sama went back to the king's house with Spalier-sama, and me and Hayato went back home, completely exhausted.

When we arrived at Hayato's mansion, I cooked with Chris and Wendy and cooked a lot of meat for Shiro to help him pass the qualifying round.

Afterwards, I took a bath to wash off Shiro's fatigue and dirt, and then everyone gathered in my room so I decided to have a proper talk.

'Isn't that enough?　Even my Lord didn't see the moment White won, did he?

Uggh well.

That being said, I'm weak.

Well, White didn't tell me to watch it, but I missed it even though White was so active....

Besides, I don't think White was seriously planning to attack Iris.

If that was the case, Iris's bodyguard, the Shinobi, would have moved on long ago, and I believe that he would not harm her without permission, only White.

'It's our match tomorrow, so stop saying you're not watching?

'Yes!　I hope you're watching properly!

'I know..... But I'll keep you two on my lap tomorrow...?

Yes. We have already decided to sit like that tomorrow.

For some reason, the promise was made to me today.

But today, White worked hard and seemed to have become a good friend of Iris's, so I decided to read the air and obey.

"Your master is irresistible, isn't he?

'Aina I'm not happy about being popular with little girls.

You look pretty happy for that, huh?

'Well, you've got an easier relationship with the powers that be than Hayato,'

Hmmm, let's put it that way.

It's just that I'm not a pedophile so much as happy to be missed by a little girl.

I think it's nice that people like me.

Since I came to this world, I've gotten to know way too many people, including beautiful women, don't you think?

Could it be a drifter's perk?

Well, it's mostly thanks to Hayato, too.

''Well, it's early tomorrow, so let's just go to bed for today.''

He's gone.

He's gone.

He's gone.

You got away.

I'm not running away!

'Yes!　Lord!

Yes, White!

White raises his hand straight up, so I stab my finger and allow him to speak.

'White worked hard today and I want to reward him by sleeping with him!

Hmmm ... well, okay.

There's nothing wrong with at least sleeping with him to apologize for not being able to see him today, right?

Then I'll do that.

Hm!

''Uh...I'm jealous...''

Don't worry, Renge. We'll be fine, Renge, if we do our best tomorrow.

'Yes. Let's go for it.

The three of us are saying something, but if I'm going to sleep with the three of us, I'd rather wait until I get back to Ains Hale.

There's nothing wrong with the bed here, but if the four of us are going to sleep together, the large bed at home is still more convenient for some reason.

But still, Wendy doesn't say anything.

As I looked at Wendy, our eyes met and she smiled at me, "You did a great job today, White.

'I worked hard today White,'

I don't know if she read our intentions, but Wendy answers the question I was thinking about ahead of time.

'Are you sure?　You've been cooperating, haven't you?

''It's because White worked so hard this time. Besides, he'll get plenty of loving care when he gets back to Ains Hale.

Of course I know what she means by the phrase "to be taken care of", and of course it's our wish to be taken care of, so I'll gladly accept it.

So today, White and I are going to sleep together.

When I was alone in the room with White, I poured water from the jug into a glass and drank a glass of water to moisten my throat before we went to bed.

Then I'll turn out the light.

"Hm.

I turn off the magic lamp and the dark room has no light other than moonlight.

White initially lies on his side, but he soon gets on my stomach and chest.

''White, it's hot, it's heavy...''

White is warm, and White is supposed to be light...

I couldn't help it, so I got up once and set up a fan in a faraway place.

I don't have a timer, but I know how long it will last by the amount of magic I pour into it, so I let the breeze reach me for an hour or so.

As for the weight, it's actually a light one, so I'll have to put up with it.

''Lord, I'll be back soon.''

Okay.

White rushed me back to the bed, and I was soon on top of him.

'....Lord, White worked hard today.

After a few moments of silence, White begins to speak in a whisper.

''Yeah. Sorry I didn't see you last...

No. It's okay, White hid it too. But next time, I want you to keep a close eye on him.

But don't do anything too dangerous... If you think there's any danger, you can abstain, okay?

Pun?

No, I'm not. I'm worried about you.

Okay, all right. So, pet your head?

Is it just your head?

Well I want you to squeezed then.

Okay.

"Huh, white privilege.

I hug White with one hand, supporting him so he doesn't fall off, and lightly stroke his head.

White folds his ears and closes his eyes happily, in a different way than when he was depressed and drooping, folding his ears to make it easier to pet him.

I'm tired of a lot of things today, too, so I decide to gently close my eyes and go to sleep.

But I couldn't move because White had grabbed the clothes on the arm I was hugging, so I couldn't move.

When I woke up the next morning, White was still on top of me.

His arms had changed to hug my chest, which was the cause of my immobility.

I rubbed my eyes with my free hand and slowly awakened my still sleepy thoughts.

The sun is starting to shine brilliantly, so it looks like it's been quite some time.

'White, it's time to get up!'

I'm almost...

You won't have time to eat breakfast.

In a few minutes, the Lord will take White in his arms.

'What are you dreaming about?　Wake up!

"...mmmm. You woke me up at the right place...

"Huh, d*mn. I've had my arm all night and my body is aching...

Anh, anh, Lord, don't poke me.

You know, we've got to get our armpits right...

I poked my fingers in my armpits to tickle them, and he let go of my hugging arms.

A gurgling sound could be heard as I turned my stiff shoulders around, holding them in check.

I'm sorry to say that this is a morning, but I might as well take a bath once to unwind........

"Where are you going, Lord?

I took a bath. My shoulders are really sore. I'm just trying to warm them up.

White's going to be there. Dull hair.

Yeah. So I'll go in with you.

Hm!

I go to the bathroom with White in tow.

I didn't call Wendy, so I'd have to release the water from the tap, but it was too late.

So we decided to release the water we had stored in the magic space for emergency purposes.

Thus, it is convenient for the numbered magic space to store a large amount of water apart from ingredients and alchemy materials.

In the blink of an eye, the bathtub was filled with water, and the water gradually warmed up as I placed the fire magic stone in the iron basket and submerged it in the water.

It didn't boil, so if he increased the amount of magic power, it reached the right temperature in a little time.

And he and White decided to take a luxurious, leisurely bath in the morning.

'Oh my God, you're late, did you take a bath?'

Well, my body hurts so much.... Hayato, I had a bath this morning.

I don't mind, but we don't have much time to spare, do we?

Seriously. We'll get breakfast over there...

When I went to the living room, I found Hayato and the others and Sorte drinking tea after dinner, or rather, they were waiting for us.

It seems that Chris is making today's lunch for us.

He said he was thinking about my condition today and said he wanted to make something easy to eat with one hand, which I was very grateful for.

'I hope you weren't doing something weird to White about your body hurting.

The Lord had his teeth kicked in and White had his heart pounded.

'Don't say it in a way that is deliberately misleading!

But it's true.

Obviously on purpose!

You were just saying that because my body was squeaky clean and I poked White in the armpit!

I think Sorte's pulling back a little on this one.

'Well I don't care what you say, but don't tell me you slept through our game.

'I've had a long night's sleep itself, and I'm refreshed from my morning bath, so I'm fine!

'That's good, though. You should see us in action, right?

'That's right!　I'm in great shape and full of energy today!

We had a full day's rest yesterday. Let's just do our best today.

The three of them seem to have plenty of motivation and energy.

I can see the fire in their eyes.

Of course I'll be cheering them on, too.

As long as I can give them a decent amount of support!

After cutting off the conversation with the three of them, I sat down next to Hayato who was sitting on the sofa and put my arm and elbow on the backrest and talked to him with my head on the backrest.

You know, Hayato.........

What is it?

I don't know if you're going to be here today, but...

''Yes.......... If Iris-sama can come, then Sparrier-sama will come too....

Let's keep each other in check.

''I'd rather have Itzuki-san stop Iris-sama so I can calmly watch the game too.

You know you can't do that, right?

It's important to keep it in check, isn't it?

Looking up and looking at Hayato, I see that he's still tired from yesterday.

It's hard to be an existence that has to be taken care of, isn't it?

The tension was low until Chris's lunch was ready after this, and all the time me and Hayato were sighing.
