This is awesome, this is so awesome
Im nervous. Im in the large bath at the lords mansion. While soaking up to my shoulders in the warm, cloudy water that fills it, Ive been feeling restless. In my excess nervousness, Ive been talking to myself for a while now.
Most likely, Ruruka and Eris both ended up saying theyd get in the bath together with me due to the course of events back there. Perhaps not wanting me to see them undressing, they said theyd wait for me to get in first, with a strong sense of embarrassment in their attitudes.
Even after washing my face and scrubbing my body, I can still vaguely see the two of them huddled in the dressing room through the frosted glass.
But the two of them are probably still going to come in, right?
Eris and Ruruka have both told me they love me. Most likely, the two of them have gotten into a situation where they cant retreat even if they want to. If Eris retreats then Ruruka will enter and tempt me with her charm, and if Ruruka retreats then even Eris may very well do the same.
My heart is pounding now. Or should I say, its been pounding since some time ago. I-I wonder if theyll let me wash their bodies? Or wait what if it doesnt end with just washing?
Neither of them are the type to consider immediately having sexual relations as soon as they fall in love. If I had to say theyre the type to steadily take things one step at a time.
-But that doesnt apply right now. Currently, theyve both ended up in a situation where theyre playing chicken over the extent to which theyll accompany me.
For instance, lets say Eris and Ruruka are washing my body. First, one of them will be washing me from behind. In terms of personality, Ruruka is more likely to act first, so lets assume she washes my back.
When she does, in order to counter that, it means Eris will have no choice but to wash my front.
Im getting in the bath together with the two of them; theres no way I can maintain a calm, tranquil, serene condition. In the sense that my front side strongly asserts its existence. Surely, Eris will inevitably avert her eyes while washing my chest and legs.
But she cant avert her eyes forever. Eris and Ruruka are both well aware that in order to do something about my feelings, seduction is the most expedient method. Its not like theres no possibility that it will go on like that and escalate.
Calm down calm down, me
As my excitement rises again, it makes its way out of my mouth in the form of my internal monologue.
On the other side of the frosted glass, I can vaguely see Eris and Rurukas silhouettes. It looks like the two of them are slowly removing their clothes in silence. The only sound that reaches me is the rustling of their clothes.
Wha! Theyre amazing Ehhh!?
Then suddenly, I hear Rurukas surprised voice.
I-I dont think theyre really that incredible, though
I can hear Eris bashful voice too.
I know what just happened. Most likely, Eris removed her top.
They sure are impressive, huh. I was amazed too, the first time I saw them. So overly amazed that I immediately dove onto Eris in the bathroom, and got myself kicked out of the hospital the next day.
But no matter how much I look at them now, she wont throw me out. We have an agreement. Even touching them, maybe shell allow it. I doubt that either Ruruka or Eris would get mad.
Something like this is it okay for something like this to happen?
Somehow, I very much feel like offering my gratitude to something. But Im afraid I have no religion that I believe in. For now, I guess I could thank the succubus for the part she played in my relationship progress?
And having to be wary of the succubus was also the reason behind the situation developing into this. Succubus, apostle of the evil god, you have my thanks. And thank you too, evil god, for producing the succubus at this point, I may as well become an evil god adherent.
Across the frosted glass, the scene in the dressing room is visible. Perhaps flustered by Eris removing her clothes, Ruruka too is evidently making undressing motions. My excitement is steadily rising.
Then, through the frosted glass, below Rurukas red hair, everything has turned skin-colored. I can only see a vague silhouette, but she has definitely taken off her clothes.
Cmon, all thats left is to open the door connecting the dressing room over there to the bath. Just a bit further, and their figures will be visible.
For a short time, both of them freeze and their movements stop. But slowly, they start to move again. Looks like theyve overcome their uncertainty.
I get the feeling there was something I needed to think about, but the fact that the two of them are about to enter the bath is the only thing on my mind anymore. Now, come cmon come in!!
Then, the door starts to open!
-That instant.
Its the succubuuus! The succubus has cooome!
The throaty voice of a knight resounds throughout the mansion.
That sheetty succubus!!!
To think that the succubus would actually come around with this timing. But it was just a little further until Eris and Ruruka entered the bath. Even though we were so close, being disturbed at a time like!
No, wait?
She broke out through the windooow! After her, after heerrrr!
With a crash, theres the sound of a window shattering, and simultaneously the bitter cries of the succubus and the roars of the knights resound throughout the mansion. When I take a look outside through the window, I can see the succubus flying overhead.
The succubus is running away, isnt she.
A bit of her wing got cut off around the tip, huh. And her hair is kinda burnt.
Her leg too, its already petrified past the knee I know its necessary to subjugate her, but shes starting to look a little pitiful somehow
After entering the mansion, within a few minutes the succubus runs away with wounds all over her body.
Seems like the mansions defense is perfect. I was planning on getting my retribution, but I didnt even have to lift my hand. The succubus ran away without even managing to discover the fact that Im inside the mansion.
At this pace, if the saint and I just hunker down within this mansion, the succubus could very well be a statue in a few days.
If her petrification has progressed past the knee in a single day, most likely in another 2-3 days, the petrification will have advanced to her wings and she wont even be able to fly anymore. And apparently there arent any other EX Heal users in the vicinity besides us.
With this, the succubus is already in checkmate.
Man, what a nuisance. Just a bit further and Eris and Ruruka would have entered the bath.
Oh maaaan. The succubus coming sure surprised me! Well then, you got off all the mess from the stew too, so why dont we go see Dra-chan! Dra-chan!
Ah, Eris-san can come too, alright!
Thats right. Why dont we go see the dragon? We should try to be friendly, right
Neither one of them are in the mood anymore. Rather, they wont even touch upon the fact that we were about to get in the bath together. Theyre completely trying to pretend it never happened. Most likely, even if I say we should go at this point, they wont get in with me.
Plus they no longer have a reason to.
That reminds me, Yuel was in the garden. Just to be sure, I should let her know Im safe.
She might be worried and all. The moment I try to continue,
Master, Im here.
Uwoah!
she calls out to me from behind. That freaking surprised me. Like, really surprised me. It surprised me so much that I ended up letting go of Eris and Rurukas hands.
Yuel, you were here?
Astel-san told me. A spy must always erase their presence, it seems. In order for me to get used to erasing my presence by habit, she told me to first practice waiting to serve Master by your side without you noticing.
I wish you wouldnt make Yuel do strange things. Did they already finish their poison studies?
Hold on, how long has she been there? Since the dining hall? The bath? Or since the succubus came?
She has been behind you since around right after you left the bath. You didnt notice?
Eris points it out, as if to say What are you talking about?. Whats with that, its super scary.
Yuel, You dont have to erase your presence near me. Look, I cant pet your head that way, right?
Scary. Too scary. When Yuel hides seriously, without a doubt I wont notice her presence. Ill need to remain conscious of Yuels gaze at all times.
I wont even be able to use Slime Jelly in the bathroom without fear anymore.
Yes, understood!
And dont hide near me either, okay? Yuel is cute, so I want to always be able to see you.
Yes!
Yuel nods enthusiastically. Im glad shes such a docile girl. Shes grinning, perhaps because she was called cute.
No, wait. Theres something off. Thats it, her gaze isnt directed towards me.
Yuels gaze is pointed at Ruruka and Eris.
Ah, this grinning is probably because the three of us were linking hands. And she didnt seem to want Eris and Ruruka to bicker. She must be thinking that theyve reconciled. Although in actuality, its just that between the bath and the succubus and whatnot, things have gotten rather hazy.
But Ill let this misunderstanding remain in place. Im worried that shell reveal the harem plan again. And besides, if she knew that most people dont actually accept harems, Yuel would probably cry.
