T/N: Flora and the girls are VERY physically intimate in this chapter. Nothing explicit happens but there’s an entire monologue about Flora’s physical attraction toward the harem members and their body’s proportions.
Louisa went home before it got dark. Then comes the next intruder.
“Flo~to~, here I come~!”
“Claudia…” I said.
As I guessed*, or should I say, as a matter of course, Claudia came without any surprises. It’s getting a little dark around here. I guess she was on her way home from the Royal Guard Division. If it’s Claudia, she can drop by my house every day if she changes her route going home from the royal castle and take a little detour instead. However, it’s late by then and she doesn’t always stop by.
Claudia is also a daughter of a Knighthood, so she has received a certain amount of education. She seems to have worked harder on her sword skills than on her studies, so she may be a little lacking in education as a noble lady, but she is good with at least the minimum behavior of a noble.
It is precisely because Claudia is like that that she usually doesn’t do something rude like drop by my house on a daily basis. Even modern people would think it’s rude to drop by someone’s house late every day without an appointment. Furthermore, this is a country with a medieval feudal society, and you can’t just drop by daily at the residence of Margrave Carruthers, an overwhelmingly high noble.
If I lived alone somewhere, and if Claudia wanted to, she’d probably stop by every day and then go home… but as expected, she doesn’t have the boldness and insensitivity to go to the Carruthers Residence every day.
“Floto~… are you thinking of something weird right now?” Claudia said as she stared at me quietly.
“No? I’m not thinking of anything like that, am I?” I said.
At times like this, don’t panic or look away. The important thing is to get through it in a natural way.
“Well, never mind that,” Claudia said. “Then let’s get to it…”
“Hey, hey, hey…! What are you doing?” I yelled.
Claudia came into my office and now she’s taking her clothes off without fanfare. What happened to her all of a sudden? Even as I desperately tried to avert my gaze, I ended up looking at Claudia’s toned limbs.
“What do you mean?” Claudia said. “You had fun with everyone before I came here, right? I heard the ban ends today. So, let’s have some fun together, too.”
“Wait! Wait! No! You’ve got it wrong! You’re misunderstanding something, Claudia! Katharina! Katharina~~~!”
I didn’t know what to do anymore and panicked, so I hurriedly called Katharina who was waiting outside the door. Immediately after that, the door opened with a bang! Through it, Katharina jumped in.
“Claudia! What in the hell are you doing!?”
“Huh~? What, what are you talking about?” Claudia said.
The way she said it… Claudia sounds like a dirty old man. I froze at those words, but it didn’t seem to work on Katharina.
“Regardless, get dressed first!” she said.
“Huh~… why is that… am I the only one left out~?” Claudia said.
“Just hurry up!” Katharina barked.
At that, Claudia reluctantly dresses back up. As soon as I finally calmed down, I relaxed my shoulders and let out a sigh.
Thanks to Katharina suppressing Claudia, it didn’t become a big deal. If I had allowed Claudia to run wild like that, I’m sure by now it would be… huh? But that’s not a bad thing for me, is it? A bit of “mm-hmm~hmm~” time alone with Claudia? That’s what I wanted, wasn’t it? That’s strange……. why did I refuse?
“That’s why I told you that you shouldn’t exchange kisses or try to manipulate Miss Flora,” Katharina said. “The only things you can do are a little temptation and light touching. We have done nothing more than that.”
“Huh~?” Claudia said. “Is that how it was? Then Floto’s body hasn’t been opened up to anyone else, right? Does that mean there’s still a chance that I’ll be her first, right?”
………… Something is weird. When I heard Katharina and Claudia’s conversation, I felt a chill run down my spine.
Certainly, I wanted “tee-hee, haha” time with a girl. But it shouldn’t be in a form where I’m devoured. It should be more like this… should I say innocent contact between girls… or something? Yeah? You know what I mean, don’t you? At least I don’t want to be attacked and forcibly taken. I have no fondness or preference for being bullied.
Despite that, as far as Katharina and Claudia were talking, it sounded as if I could be eaten by everyone. This is ridiculous no matter how you look at it. Even though I was born a woman in this life, I am a former man. Isn’t this the place where I have to take the lead?
“Then this is fine, right?” Claudia said.
“Hieeh…!” I squealed.
While I was thinking, I was surprised when something soft suddenly pressed against my left side. When I looked to my left, I wondered when Claudia came to my side and hugged my left arm to her chest.
“That would be fine,” Katharina said. “We’ve also done that much. Even in our secret agreements, we swore we could do that much, didn’t we?”
What secret agreement…? Does she mean there’s some secret pact at the point when they speak openly about me as their target? And Katharina… why are you hugging my right arm? Are you going to participate in the confusion, too?
“Then I’ll do my best to entice her till she can’t resist anymore and can’t help but push me down, ju~st like that,” Claudia said. “It’s fine if you take the first step, right, Floto?”
“That would be correct,” Katharina said. “That can’t be stopped. We won’t be able to say ‘No.’ if Miss Flora herself wants us. We did agree that that situation would be fine, right?”
Claudia and Katharina press their breasts against me more and more. From the size of the breasts that were forced on me by everyone today, I feel like I know roughly everyone’s proportions.
Since Mikoto usually compresses her breasts with her chest wrap, I think she still has a little more chest than usual when she unravels it. But Mikoto still has the poorest figure. It may be said that her chest and buttocks are small, and you could say that she’s got a petite, young figure. However, she probably has the breasts and buttocks of a standard Japanese person, so it’s not like she’s like a little girl with no feminine features at all.
Is Claudia the second least in curvature? Claudia’s breasts aren’t that big and her butt isn’t that big either. And her waist is thick too. However, it’s not because she’s fat, but because she’s muscular and toned, and it’s the same reason why her breasts and buttocks don’t stand out. Among us, she’s tall, so she’s got a slender and athletic figure. Well, I actually have some muscles and breasts myself, so slender and athletic might not be right, but…
The third person is Katharina. Katharina was malnourished when she was a child, so it’s not like she’s not growing well, but it’s possible to say that she has a poor figure. It’s just a remnant of her malnutrition, her slightly flabby stomach. I also feel that her breasts and buttocks are also a little pudgy.
Fourth, unexpectedly, Louisa had the biggest breasts among these four. Did Louisa usually compress her breasts with something like a chest wrap to do farm work? She’s 2 years older than us, so maybe it’s because she’s the oldest of us. After all, we are still in our mid-teens, so there should still be room for us to grow.
Well… but actually, I know. Of these four, it’s true that some of them are big and small, but there are differences in physique and chest size, so it’s not possible to say exactly who’s the best or who’s the worst. When thinking about cups, the ranking is in order from the least, but in terms of whose got the largest chest in general, the ranking changes again. Claudia, for example, has a bigger chest.
Unlike the smaller ranges of the four, Alexandra definitely has a bigger bust size than everyone else. I saw Alexandra at school and her breasts were huge. Alexandra’s bountiful chest was about to spill out from the open front of her bright red dress. Alexandra is definitely the best in chest size and cup size cups. Maybe she’s even bigger than me.
By the way, I also have the same size as Alexandra. I think it’s a pretty big category compared to the other four. Well, Mother has such a glamorous figure, so it’s possible that I, who inherited her blood, will have a similar figure in the future.
“Miss Flora! You are thinking of something bad right now, weren’t you?!” Katharina snapped.
“Wh-What are you talking about?!” I cried, my voice squeaking.
It’s like I’m confirming her suspicions.
“I wonder if you were thinking that our breasts are small, huh?” Claudia said.
“Huh!? Why-Why… aah…” I mumbled.
Oops! This is as good as a confession. But how did that happen? How’d they read my mind?
“You were mumbling to yourself, Miss Flora…”
“… Huh? Was I? I was talking to myself?”
“Yeah,” Claudia said. “You were talking about whose chest is what rank.”
………… I see. Apparently, sometimes when I thought that what I was thinking to myself and it was pointed out accurately by someone else, I turned out to be mumbling to myself. Let’s be careful. When I’m absorbed in my thoughts, I can’t help but have words out of my mouth. There is such a thing to worry about!
“So I see…” Katharina said. “Lady Alexandra is large, is she…? I have to think about countermeasures as soon as possible…”
“It seems we’re not all that big, huh~?” Claudia said. “At least compared to Lady Ale-xan-dra.”
“Uuu…”
I have no excuse. But it’s true… And I don’t hate them because they’re small… rather, I like small breasts too…
Being big isn’t much of a good thing. When you move, it shakes and hurts, and your center of gravity is tilted forward, which makes it easy to have bad posture. I don’t really feel stiff shoulders so far, but maybe that’s because I’m young. Even in my previous life, until my teens, I didn’t remember feeling stiffness in my body, or rather stiff shoulders, but as I got older, I started to feel stiffness in my body. I don’t want this chest to bear too much weight because I think that it will cause stiff shoulders in the future.
In the first place, nothing is fun even if my chest grows… when it started to swell a little, I tried touching it and rubbing it, but at that time it was still in the growth stage and it was hard, and even if I touched it, it hurt more. During that experience, I lost interest in my own breasts. It’s the same as when a man looks at his little son and doesn’t think it’s erotic. In the end, he doesn’t think it’s erotic if it’s something that’s attached to him.
“By the way, aren’t you cheating, Katharina?” I asked. “The other three don’t live together with me, so the places and times they can meet me are limited. Compared to that, you live together with me from morning to bed so you can meet at any time. Isn’t this cheating only for you, Katharina? Even if you’re hugging me, you’re taking advantage of the evening when Louisa came and now when Claudia is here, as well…”
“… That’s right,” Claudia said. “Just as she said, she’s right. You’re the only one cheating, Katharina. If you can stay together every day like that, wouldn’t it be too advantageous for you?”
“Uu… that’s…” Katharina mumbled, averting her gaze.
She apparently knew it herself. She might even have been thinking of taking advantage of that position more actively.
Could this secret agreement be true? The first to speak up was Mikoto, who was impatient, but it was highly likely that Katharina was the one who jumped on the bandwagon and caused everyone else to agree. Because this is very advantageous for Katharina.
To put it in extreme terms, Katharina is the only one who has the chance to contact me from morning till night. And if she tempts me like that, it will be easy to gain an advantage in a lover’s fight.
Of course, there are times when we have no convenient moments to contact each other frequently, or because we are always together, I rather dislike her. It’s hard to see the rough edges of a lover you only meet once in a while, but you can see the finer points of someone who is always with you, such as if you live together. And if you don’t like one thing, you will soon be dissatisfied with this and that.
Being together for long periods of time is advantageous, but it also carries risks. However, if you are confident that you can overcome the danger, it will not be as advantageous as this.
“We need a little countermeasures meeting,” Claudia said. “Depending on the situation, let’s consider re-prohibiting touching Floto.”
“Huh? Oh! Wait, wait a moment, please! Claudia! Calm down. Then you won’t be able to touch Miss Flora either, will you?”
Katharina hurriedly clings to Claudia who suddenly changed her attitude. It’s rare for Katharina to be this flustered. But that’s because it was pointed out after all…
“But at this rate, you have too much of an advantage, right, Katharina?” Claudia said. “Right now, even though I was closing in on Floto, you jumped into the fray yourself. You can watch the actions of the other three of us together with Floto, but for us, we can’t constantly monitor your actions. If Floto and you are alone after I leave, no one will notice and I won’t be able to stop you. Isn’t this cheating?”
“Uuu…”
Katharina was completely trapped. I was the one who offered that opinion in the first place and led Claudia to that point, but if it was me, I wouldn’t have been able to tell Katharina this much. Louisa is also quiet with other people, and she thinks she’s not an aristocrat and should be reserved when speaking to them, so I don’t think she’ll say that much. It’s tough for me, but… Mikoto is also the type to speak frankly, so she must have said it as clearly as Claudia does now.
Huh? Am I the only one weak against anyone here? Huh?
