“Fuh-fuh-fuh… please prepare yourself, Katharina,” I said.

“Iyaaa~~~~….!”

A beautiful girl’s scream echoes. But I won’t let up.

“Now then! Give it up already!” I said.

“Wait! Please wait, Miss Flora!” Katharina said.

“It’s Floto now!” I said.

She called me Flora even though we were in Manor Caan, which made it all the more unforgivable.

“Isabella, please do it and be done with it!” I yelled.

“Haa… since Katharina came, Sir Floto’s eccentric behavior has been showing itself more and more…” Isabella mumbles, but still, she cooperates.

Isabella approaches Katharina as I hold her down to prevent her from escaping.

“A-aah…. nooooo~~~~~!”

…………

…………

……

“Okay. It’s done and over with,” I said.

“Sob-sob-sob… I can’t be a bride anymore…” Katharina complains.

I look at Isabella with a slightly exhausted expression face and the crying Katharina with satisfaction. But I heard some words that I couldn’t ignore. Katharina’s going to be a bride? Imagining that makes me feel nauseous in my chest, or makes the blood rush to my head…. I don’t have a fetish for cuckoldry! 1 I firmly refuse!

What am I…….? I shouldn’t decide Katharina’s life. If Katharina meets a good man in the future and gets married, I have to congratulate her…

I think so, but this blur won’t clear up! I really don’t like it! I can’t tolerate giving Katharina to a man somewhere!

“Sir Floto, since the measurement is over, I will go to Caanza Trading Company now,” Isabella said, handing me a paper with an annoyed expression.

“Ah! Please wait,” I said. “Katharina and I will go instead of you. Isabella, please leave the rest of the work to us.”

The paper in my hand has Katharina’s body sizes that I measured earlier. Yes. Everything from her three sizes to her height to her arm length and weight!

“Sir… Sir Floto, please don’t stare at me too much,” Katharina said shyly as she grabs my arm.

She’s so cute. Women are always embarrassed to have their measurements known.

…… Or at least, that’s what I’m told? Mother and Isabella got their measurements easily, and they also said the numbers proudly.

Well, anyway, we were heading to Caanza Trading Firm after measuring Katharina’s body sizes to order underwear that fits Katharina. As for why I’m making underwear for Katharina, there is a deep reason behind it.

Going back to this earlier this morning…

It’s clear skies this morning again. Every day has been fun since Katharina came. I want to live with Katharina for a long time. Well, anyway, it’s time to change clothes every morning. Katharina, who came into my room after Isabella, is still a little stiff, probably because she’s not used to it yet.

“You’ve already done it many times, so you shouldn’t be so nervous, right?” I called out to Katharina, to try and ease her nervousness a bit.

Katharina still seems uneasy about changing my clothes, but I’ve gotten used to it. I mean… maybe I also opened a door I shouldn’t have.

I show my skin to a beautiful girl who is nervous every time I change clothes. Then, I’m gradually getting excited about it for some reason. I’m starting to be a bit more understanding of those exhibitionist old men who get pleasure from showing their nakedness and genitals to innocent girls. I know I shouldn’t go that way, but I can’t help but get a little excited.

Anyway, today Isabella brought not only a change of clothes but also my underwear. I have developed cotton underwear and wear it because I have been spinning cotton since cultivation became possible. Originally, I only wanted to make underwear to hold sanitary products during menstruation, but now I think it’s okay to wear them every day.

For me, who has the knowledge and experience of modern Japanese people, not wearing underwear usually makes me feel uncomfortable. That’s why I often wear underwear even when I’m not on my period. However, when the chest is open, such as in a dress, it is strange to see underwear, so there is no bra, and it is difficult to go to the bathroom in a dress, so there are no panties. That part is the same as before.

However, in normal life, I don’t wear hoop skirts or dresses, and I don’t open my chest more than necessary, so I wear underwear. Although there is no elastic, the bra is hung with shoulder straps, so it can be held with moderate tightening. As expected, the panties would fall off without rubber, so I wrapped something like a belt around my waist and hung it from there to hold it.

Since it is cotton, it is not as stiff as wool and is comfortable to wear. I introduced underwear to women close to me, such as my mother and Isabella. After all, it seems that the women of this era benefit from the fact that it feels good on the skin and keeps the breasts supported.

However, they don’t seem to think panties are really necessary and seem to only wear them when they need to hold sanitary products in place. I want to wear it all the time, but it seems I’m the minority in this world.

These are special items that only exist in Caan territory. Naturally, Katharina hadn’t known about this until now, but she only learned about it this morning. She didn’t know how to put it on me because she didn’t know about them. That’s why I brought her with me this morning, to practice putting on a bra and panties.

“Ex-Excuse me…” Katharina said.

With a trembling hand, she puts her hand under my armpit and tied my bra behind my back. If you hook it to secure it, you can only wear a fixed size. With the industrial productivity, population, and purchasing power of modern Earth, it would be easy to mass-produce various sizes and display them in stores, but there’s no way I can do that in this world.

That’s why I’m trying to secure it after tightening the straps moderately so that the size can be adjusted somewhat. This is free size and can be worn by everyone except those with a physique larger than the length of the bra.

Of course, there is also the problem of the cups, but if we make it finely by size, the number of types will be too large, so we do it this way to reduce the standard to some extent.

In the first place, these are custom-made and basically made to fit the physique of the person, so it’s not a problem. After tying it on the back, next turn the shoulder straps, arrange the breasts and put them in the cups, and finally adjust the positions of the straps and breasts to complete it.

There’s nothing difficult about panties because you just wear them with a belt. However, it may take a little time if you are not used to fixing it to the belt. It would be nice if it was easier to put on and take off… even this is much easier than putting on and taking off sanitary products in this world, but it’s still a hassle.

And panties must be worn over garter stockings. Sometimes I see pictures of her wearing panties under her garter stockings, but that’s a mistake. Because you have to undo the garter string to take off your panties. Since panties are often taken off to use the toilet, they are worn over garter stockings. Remember this! Well, there are no garter stockings here either.

“This is… how can I say it, it’s amazing!” Katharina said.

“Katharina?” I said.

“The chest fits perfectly and the bottom can be removed so easily… However, it seems that the bottom will soak through…” Katharina continued.

Apparently, she also liked it. And she knows what she’s saying. If it’s just panties, it’ll definitely overflow when she’s on her period. She doesn’t have to worry about that. This is worn to hold sanitary products, and the main thing is a napkin.

“Katharina, on that day, you put this between your panties and make them soak it up, instead. This will make changing them easier, right?” I said.

I demonstrate putting sanitary products between panties and show Katharina.

“I see! This is wonderful!”

Katharina is the same age as me, so naturally, she must have the same worries as me. Mother and Isabella, as well Surprisingly, Isabella is not yet hitting menopause. I wonder how old she is…

“That’s right! Then let’s make underwear for you, too, Katharina! Let’s hurry to Manor Caan!”

“Huh? What?” Katharina said.

I quickly finished breakfast and hurried Manor Caan as if I was dragging off Katharina, who was making an expression that said she didn’t understand.

So this is what happened this morning. It must have been a very long and deep story. After that, Katharina’s body was measured at Manor Caan, and she went to the Caanza Trading Firm head office in Caanburg to order her underwear. I’ve already measured her size here, so all I have to do is have them made.

For the time being, I was told that the first order would be ready in about a week, so I returned to Manor Caan, satisfied.

About two months have passed since the opening of the Port of Cien, and in about another month the classes in the royal capital will begin. Today is my farewell party because I have to leave for the royal capital soon. Even if I can return on a long vacation, I will be leaving this land for three years.

“Flora, dear! Take care of yourself! Boo-hoo-hoo…” Mother sobbed.

“Mother… we’re not leaving yet, how many times have you done this…?”

Mother has been like this all along. It’s not like I’m leaving yet, but she’s already been repeating these words all the time.

“It seems that you’ve already been to the royal capital many times, Flora, but it is also a nice place, so don’t be too nervous about living there.”

“Big Brother Georg…” I said.

Unusually, my second brother Georg is also here today. No, my eldest and second brother should be here at Manor Carruthers, but for some reason, we rarely see each other. But it seems that they decided to participate in my farewell party today.

My second brother is relatively kind to me. My eldest brother always looks at me like I’m a nuisance, but… did I do something that made my eldest brother hate me? I don’t remember it at all.

“Is everyone given a glass? Flora, say your farewells,” Father said.

There is no need to say difficult or pretentious things because they are all close friends and relatives.

“I think I may return for the long vacation, but I will study hard at school for the next three years,” I said.

“Yes, let’s celebrate Flora’s departure and have a toast!”

“Cheers!”

We make a toast with glasses that uses highly transparent glass that you can’t get anywhere else. Glass and porcelain cups and glasses are also expensive, but since we are the manufacturer, we can use them in such a luxurious way.

“This ‘nihonshu’ you made, Flora dear?” Mother said. “It’s very fruity and delicious.”

“Thank you,” I said.

Now that we can grow rice, we also make sake. I think it’s still incomparable to modern Japan, but that depends on future improvements.

The reason why I say “I think” is because I haven’t drunk most of it yet. I’ve tasted a little bit of sake, but I don’t drink a lot. The purpose of my drinking is to check if the sake is properly brewed, so I don’t drink much, and to be honest, I don’t know much about alcohol in the first place.

Well, it seems to have good reception with my mother, and the other participants are drinking it, but they all say it’s delicious, too.

“Today we have a new dish using cheese. Please try it, as well,” I said.

“…”

After that, everyone backs away. I thought this might happen. They might flee because they thought it smelled like stinky cheese. But behold! It’s better to sniff this instead! This fragrant and delicious smell!

“Huh? What is this? It smells delicious? Flora dear?” Mother said.

“This is pizza. Please, try it,” I said.

It seems that Mother, who has a keen eye for food, was immediately lured by the smell. Thanks to many years of research, today’s cheese doesn’t smell so bad. And today I made it into a pizza. I think the pizza dough is different. If anything, it might be better to think of it as bread with the same ingredients as a pizza rather than a pizza.

“It’s delicious! Flora dear, you’re amazing! I can’t believe this is that cheese! It doesn’t smell at all!”

Apparently, Mother liked it. Hearing her mother’s words, everyone else also started eating.

“This is… I never thought cheese would turn out like this. As expected of you, Lady Flora,” Victoria said.

She must have hated cheese because I made her eat cheese that was in the process of being improved, but the cheese on this pizza seems to be fine.

“This glass, the plate, and all the dishes were all prepared by you, Flora,” Georg said. “You really are really amazing.”

“Big Brother Georg?” I said.

My second brother patted my head but he had a tired smile on his face. Is there something the matter…? Maybe with my eldest brother…?

“I have brought some of Lady Flora’s cooking,” Katharina said.

“-!”

At that, I flew to the table. This is it! I won’t be able to eat THIS again for a while, so I have to eat it now…

Cooked white rice~… salt-grilled fish~…., grated daikon radish and soy sauce~… miso soup~!

This is it! The Japanese meal!

When I head to the royal capital, I can’t eat it for a while. I can’t afford to cook like this on the road. I might be able to eat it once I get to the royal capital, but since the amount of rice produced is small, it’s difficult to secure enough to eat every day all year round. Even now I can only eat it occasionally, but I won’t be able to eat it so often in the royal capital.

“Flora dear… Mother doesn’t like that…” Mother said. “Mother can’t eat it…”

“It’s delicious, though…” I said.

Yes. Honestly, most people other than me didn’t like the cooked rice. It seems that everything is messy and tasteless. They seem to have a faint sweetness, but they don’t seem to think it’s delicious. If you made the rice into Japanese sake instead, they’d drink it by the gulp…

That’s fine. On the contrary, if I think that only I can enjoy my meal without being taken by other people, there is nothing wrong with it. It doesn’t matter if production doesn’t spread. If you want it, you can make it at home as much as you want.

In this way, the farewell party which invited only family and close relatives ended successfully. From now on, I will head to the capital. What kind of encounters will there be in the capital, no, at the academy?
