“Instruction”

Eventually, it was decided that I would be sleeping in Ever’s room on the third floor.

Since Ever’s room is the biggest one in the Palace, her bed can fit two people. There were some unnecessary comments such as “We can share the bed, Takaya <3” that I strongly ignored.

Her age is unknown but she looks rather young. Still, she’s my mentor, not my girlfriend.

I need to draw the line.

I spent my first night in the palace thinking about ways to prevent my personal space from being ignored.

Next morning…

– Hngwah… It’s morning already?

I cleared the dust off the bed and slowly got up.

After yesterday’s craziness, I was able to fall asleep immediately. Though I was worried about a visit from the residents of the other rooms.

– Hm, I wonder if the Grandmaster is still asleep.

There are no clocks in the room, but from the dim light, I assume it’s rather early.

– Grandmaster, it’s morning already. Come on.

– Hmm? Ugh… Give me 5 more days…

– No. And also, 5 days? How much fuel do you spend?

We decided that I would be in charge of any housework in the palace. The kitchen seems to be somewhere else, so I need some guidance. I could ask Tsubakibaru, but considering yesterday’s events I’d rather not have to rely on her too often.

I shook Ever trying to wake her up at any cost.

– Come on, wake up. You’ll miss breakfast.

– Ugh, that sucks. I care a lot about my eating habits. Ok, let’s go.

After 5 minutes of going back and forth from “Fine, I’ll wake up” to “Just a little longer”, Ever rose up.

Her hair is messy from turning around on the bed. She looks like a completely different person from the first time I met her.

– Mmh… Hi, apprentice～

– Good morning, Grandmaster. I have to make breakfast. Would you please show me the way to the kitchen?

– Oh, you’re right～ Let me get changed first.

Ever still hasn’t fully woken up.

She took the sheets off and fell to the ground.

– Gwah! (Takaya)

I immediately became stiff after taking a look at Ever.

– Hm? What’s wrong? Why is your face so red?

– U-Uh… You’re… You’re uhh… Naked.

I averted my gaze.

Why was she not wearing any underwear while sleeping!?

– Oh come on. If we’re going to live in the same room, you’ll have to get used to stuff like this. Sometimes I might even ask you to help me change.

– Whaaat?

I never had any contact with a woman before, so this sight is very tempting.

I’ve been trying very hard to strengthen my resolutions, but Ever is trying hard to destroy that resolve.

I wonder how old she is.

– You know what? Let’s try it now. My underwear is in that drawer. Give me my bra-

– w-w-WHAT ARE YOU SCOUNDRELS DOING!? (Tsubakibaru)

The upright disciple found the idiot and the grandmaster committing stupidities first thing in the morning.

She rushed into the room with her katana.

– Grandmaster! How could you expose your flawless naked body to such a disgraceful and abominable beast like this man!? Whatever is going through your mind!?

– I can do whatever I want. Takaya is going to be sleeping here from now on. I’m not going to change my habits just for him. It’s nothing new to sleep naked. Sometimes I even reach my hand down and start pleasuring myself.

– PLEASU- GRANDMASTER!? You’re a respectable woman, please behave as such! And Takaya, you perverted dimwit, are you perhaps enjoying our conversation!?

– What do you want me to do!?

This early in the morning I already have to deal with a crazy master being naked and a pretty girl swinging a katana to my face.

We ended up agreeing on me sleeping in the kitchen in the basement.
