Chapter 88: Titti's Escape
◆
Midnight, when all was quiet in Rondas Tower, Titti got up from her bed.
She went to the bathroom without putting on her shoes so as not to make a sound.
Thereupon, she climbed up on the toilet seat to retrieve a box containing escape tools from the ceiling.
Marco had taken great trouble to build this hiding place, and he had also purchased this escape set and brought it here.
Titti took out a hypnotic incense from the box and lit it up near the door.
In an instant, sweet smoke spread throughout the room, seeping out through the keyhole and gaps in the door, drifting toward the corridor.
After checking it out, Titti turned back to the bathroom.
Undressing on the spot, she shoved her undressed clothes into the ceiling where the box had been.
Without any hesitation, she removed her bra and exposed her beautiful skin.
Then, breathing heavily, she started wrapping a sarashi around her chest.
Since she was going to be dressed as a man, her large breasts would be nothing more than hindrances.
Her breasts had charmed many men in the past, but now, their size was a problem for Titti.
After she had finished wrapping a sarashi around her breasts, Titti checked the results.
Though her flattened chest was still plentifully bulging out, it doesn’t seem to stand out significantly when covered with a thick jacket.
She was about to swap out her panties for men’s underwear, but Titti’s hands abruptly stopped.
She was now wearing a luxurious pair of silk panties with black laces.
Although she had been forced to live a frugal life, they had not taken away her previous dresses and underwear.
Even though she had to dress up as a man, she reconsidered whether she should really completely dress up like one, down to her underwear as well.
Besides, if Marco comes on to her tonight......
Such a thought popping in her mind made Titti angry.
[I’m like an idiot!]
She didn’t like the fact that she was being mindful of Marco.
She’s considering her movements with that guy’s pleasure in mind?
Or perhaps, was it to keep him from being embarrassed?
No, what she found the worst was that she was thinking about sleeping with him in the first place!
Titti’s mind has been poisoned.
Still, she kept her panties on and put on a pair of trousers worn by a common man.
Titti was just thankful she doesn’t have the time to mull over all sorts of things.
Marco would never have had the courage to make advances on Titti.
With his character, he would have quietly backed away after helping her out.
Titti, on the other hand, would have taken no notice of Marco.
The servants in the tower were useful pawns but when she was done using them, they would be no different than the pebbles on the side of the road.
However, that single dagashi has made Titti take an interest in Marco.
To signal Marco, Titti tugged the rope twice.
Thereupon, she received a quick tug back from the other side.
As he had promised, Marco was on the other side of the wall.
Freedom was at hand.
Titti fiercely clung to the rope and began climbing up the wall.
Once she landed on the ground, Titti hugged Marco.
[Ahh, Marco.]
[Titti-sama......]
She held no romantic interest for him, but Titti thinks this hug is a kind of thank-you for saving her.
She is rewarding her obedient pet, that’s all there is to it.
Since they’re in a hurry, they can skip the kiss.
Even though she was trying to make herself look teary-eyed from their reunion, she thought about such a thing calmly in the corner of her head.
However, as Titti gazed at Marco with a rehearsed expression, she was taken aback.
Marco, whom he hadn’t seen in a while, seemed to have grown a little more robust.
His face is also much wilder than before.
His arms were unexpectedly rough to the touch, and Titti felt a slight tingle in the pit of her stomach.
[Is something the matter?]
[It’s nothing.]
Considering he ventures into the dungeon day and night to battle monsters, it’s not surprising that Marco had become more rugged.
Moreover, he’s fighting with more vigor than the average adventurer.
All of this was to make his new life with Titti a fulfilling one.
The anxiety about pursuers, the anticipation towards a new life, the joy of freedom————- It appears that those weren’t the only reasons for her racing heartbeat.
She doesn’t understand it herself, but Titti is the kind of person who doesn’t think much about all sorts of things.
She decided to stop using her head and concentrate on moving her limbs.
[Let’s hurry.]
[This way.]
Within the darkness, their shadows seemingly cuddling close together, the two walked closely side by side.
