Volume 7 - CH 17

Chapter 17 – Ines and… and SeaPass Card

I try to escape with Ines and Felicia as the ladies get excited about a drink they’ve never had before.

But cocktails with beautiful women, huh…? It’s going to be a cool sight when I get used to drinking. Right now, though, it’s not a very adult atmosphere, with all the noise about how good this and that tastes. When the Rising Tide Bar is on the Royal Promenade, I’m calling it out and getting off.

I made sure to ask only for Claretta-san. She’s the one I can count on when it comes to alcohol. She promised to take them back with her, so I was relieved.

Furthermore, the ship tour for tomorrow has been set for noon. I wanted to relax, and Girasole, who had been drinking, would be able to move around more easily if we started at noon. I also told them that breakfast would be served in the main dining room. I knew it would be hard on Carla-san if she didn’t have breakfast.

On the way back to the room, Felicia came to me with Rimu in her arms.

“Then, Master. I’m going to take a rest in another room.”

“Hmm? …It’s a big room, so it won’t be a problem… It’s nothing. I’m sorry for making you feel uncomfortable.”

I don’t know what kind of behavior I’m going to have, so it’s safer to have her stay in the other room. I’d like to try my best to eventually have a threesome, though.

I don’t want to get weirdly excited and bring Felicia to my first night with Ines and then rush into a threesome. When I go full throttle with my desires, even if it’s outrageous, somehow I think it’s not a problem or something.

“No, Ines took care of me when it was my time, so it’s only natural. Then I will join you at lunch.”

Saying that, Felicia went into another room…

“…I’m getting kind of nervous.”

Last time, I went out of control, so this time I’m going to do my best to be nice and work on the girl.

“Fufu, right. But it’s okay. Felicia is teaching me how to do it.”

…Eh? I heard some disturbing words… What did Felicia teach you?

“H-hey, Ines, what did Felicia teach you?”

…I haven’t done anything abnormal, but I have demanded something a little embarrassing…

“Fufu, don’t worry. I didn’t ask about the content. I was just asking about how to be prepared.”

Then it’s safe, right? Well, I’m thinking eventually with the two of them, so it might be useless.

………………

Phew, morning, huh…? I look beside me and see Ines sleeping. Things don’t always go as planned. I ended up pushing it until morning.

I was aiming for a nice feeling of working on a woman and restraining myself from going out of control, but I didn’t expect that Ines would go out of control. It felt good, and I was deeply satisfied, but it wasn’t what I had planned.

Being attacked is dangerous because it suits my personality. I’ll do my best to take the initiative. That’s what I’ve made up my mind to do and go to sleep.

………………

When I woke up, my eyes met Ines’.

“Good morning, Master.”

“Good morning, Ines.”

“Fufu, it’s a little embarrassing, isn’t it?”

“Haha, indeed.”

Sweet and sour, sweet and sour. It doesn’t fit my character or Ines’ character, so we both blush. I’m not good at this atmosphere.

“Shall we take a bath?”

“Sure.”

I soak in the bath with a few words. …But when Ines is in front of me, I can’t stand it. The tension is heightened by the fact that there are no longer any restrictions, even the little ecchi things that I had been bound to do.

After getting out of the bath and enjoying lovemaking for a while, Felicia arrived.

“Master, Ines, it’s almost time for the Girasole to be here, is everything alright?”

“Yeah, that’s right. I’ll be ready in a minute.”

As I was getting dressed, Ines and Felicia were talking happily. I can hear them saying things like they had a good time and were surprised, but they’re talking cheerfully, so I don’t see the problem. I’m wondering what surprised them.

I put on my clothes and meet up with Girasole. It seems that everyone is not hungover, and I guess it is thanks to Claretta-san’s hard work.

After talking to her, it seems she had a hard time after all. They got pretty drunk, and they wanted to drink more, so she and Carla-san dragged the group of alcohol lovers back to their rooms.

When I said thank you for their hard work, they nodded at me with a bitter smile. They must have been really tired if they didn’t deny it.

Carla-san, Felicia, Rimu, and Fuu-chan ate breakfast together in the main dining room. Carla-san was satisfied that it was delicious, so next time, I’ll go have breakfast, too.

“What would you like to eat for lunch?”

“Hmm, well, I don’t know what kind of restaurants there are, so I’m going to ask for Wataru-san’s recommendation.”

“Recommendations, huh…?”

What should I do? I think Japanese food is good at night, so maybe Italian or hamburger?　So Italian is in Central Park, and hamburger is in Boardwalk…?

Hmm, it’s lunchtime, and I’m in the mood for a hamburger. I hear it’s a famous restaurant that’s been around for a long time, so let’s go there. And a tour of the Boardwalk sounds like fun, too.

“Let’s go for a hamburger then. We’re going to a place called the Boardwalk right now.”

I headed for the Boardwalk with the ladies in tow. I opened the door and went outside, and a merry-go-round appeared in front of us. …I wondered if the ladies would be pleased with the merry-go-round.

“Wataru-san, what is this? A big horse doll?”

As expected, they are curious about it because it stands out.

“Well, how should I put it? It’s just a ride on that horse and carriage that goes round and round. Would you like to try it?”

“This is interesting, isn’t it?”

…I don’t think people who usually ride horses and carriages would find it interesting… What do you think?

“I don’t know if you would enjoy it since it is playground equipment that children prefer. But wouldn’t it be nice to give it a try?”

“Well, yes, please.”

Girasole, Ines, Felicia, Rimu, and Fuu-chan went on the merry-go-round, and it started to move up and down and around with fun music…

At first, the women were surprised to see the carousel in motion, but soon their expressions became more subtle. Well, I understand how they feel. It is a surreal sight to see from the outside. Rimu and Fuu-chan must be enjoying themselves because they are bouncing happily.

Hmm… is it just me who feels an obscene sense of eight beautiful women on a carousel…?

“How was it?”

I asked Alessia-san when she came back.

“…Well, I’m glad it was such a strange experience.”

She chose her words very carefully. The other ladies also looked very delicate. Well, I understand how they feel. Rimu jumped on the conversation.

“One more time, Wataru!”

“…More…”

I knew he liked it. Fuu-chan wanted to ride it one more time too.

“Rimu and Fuu-chan want to ride again, so can I have some time?”

The ladies nodded their heads, indicating that they wouldn’t ride it again, so I took Rimu and Fuu-chan for one more ride. Sounds like fun.

“I didn’t know it worked like this. It’s gorgeous to watch.”

“I agree. It looked even more glamorous with Alessia-san and the others on it.”

“Fufu, is that so?”

We pass the time talking nonsense until the merry-go-round comes to a halt.

“One more time.”

“…More…”

They seemed to like it quite a bit. But there’s no end to it in sight, so let’s go get a hamburger.

“Rimu, Fuu-chan, we’re going for a hamburger now. So let’s do it another time.”

“Hamburger?”

“…Delicious…?…”

“Yes, it’s been around for a long time. It’s a famous restaurant, so I’m sure it’ll be good.”

“Let’s eat.”

“…Eat…”

Good. I picked up Rimu and Fuu-chan in my arms and headed out to eat a hamburger. But it’s boarded up. That’s what “boardwalk” means, right? I had no idea.

A fairy tale? …We pass through a place with an atmosphere that children would like and arrive at a hamburger shop. As soon as I sat down, the coin slot opened… Why?

Checking the screen, I see that they charge a seating fee… 5 copper coins, or why do we have to pay for a seat when the meal is free? Well, it’s all you can eat for five copper coins, so it must be cheap.

…Hmm? There’s a SeaPass card on the screen of the luxury liner… What’s this? I read the description, and it says that you can charge money to it… so you don’t have to carry around a lot of coins… and it will debit the card on its own.

You don’t have to go out of your way to use a SeaPass card; you can just take the cash. Is that not allowed? But I wish I had known that earlier.

“Ah, everyone. I just realized that there is something called a SeaPass card. It seems that if you deposit money like a guild card, you can use it inside this ship. It’s also supposed to debit your card when you buy something.”

Everyone needs one, it seems. The coins are quite bulky. I summoned the card for the time being. But how do you deposit the money? There is a coin slot next to the card… which is convenient, but I’m not convinced.

I explained how to use the card and handed it over. All the members of Girasole put in one gold coin… It’s a million yen, you know?

Somehow I also put one gold coin in each of my, Ines’, and Felicia’s cards and gave them to them. We’re making so much money, and it’s a luxury liner, after all. It would be nice to have a bonus, wouldn’t it?

“Master. Is it really worth it?”

“Master, it’s too much.”

“Well, it’s a luxury liner, and there will be plenty of things you want and plenty of things you want to eat. It’s a commemoration of the purchase of the luxury liner, which is different from your allowance. “

The contract is to enjoy the luxury liner to the fullest, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to spend a lot of money at the casino, so please enjoy it to the fullest with that amount.

If Ines gets into the casino, it would be a terrible thing if I don’t put a limit on it. Would it be caught in the contract? If the money runs out soon and it looks like it’s going to be a problem, I’ll consider adding more. But let’s not tell anyone about it.

Thank you, Master.”

“…Master, I think one gold coin is enough to have fun, but will it run out soon?”

“Hmm, I don’t know about the casino on this ship, but with the high rates, would it be surprisingly easy to lose it?”

“…I’ll be careful with it. Thank you, Master.”

“Well, I guess it’s time for us to order. I’ll have a hamburger, onion rings, fries, and a carbonated beverage. You can order whatever you like, too. Except for the seat charge, everything else is free.”

The hamburger that appears in front of me is huge. It has two patties, even though I didn’t order a double. Two pieces of cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a large pickle.

It looks delicious. I open my mouth and bite into it, and the juices flood into my mouth. The burger patty is full of juices… I am surprised that it is not dry, but it is delicious.

The rich cheese and juices mix with the pickles, onions, and lettuce to give it a crunchy and crispy taste. Well, it’s hard to describe, but it’s delicious.

In between, I pick up fries and onion rings and have a carbonated beverage. …Delicious hamburger, but for some reason, I’m craving a McDonald’s.

I want a teriyaki burger. This hamburger is superior in taste, but it reminds me of that familiar taste.

There was also a luxury liner where McDonald’s opened a restaurant… Is it reasonable to buy a luxury liner costing tens of billions of dollars for McDonald’s?

Phew, it’s so big that even one hamburger will fill your stomach. But if the price doesn’t change, no matter how many I order, I’ll have to eat one more.

I asked Rimu, who had already finished his meal, and he said he still wanted one, so he ate another kind of hamburger. I looked around and saw that everyone had finished eating except Carla-san and Fuu-chan.

According to the number of packages, Carla-san is eating her fifth one right now. That’s great, isn’t it? I wait until Carla-san, Rimu, and Fuu-chan are satisfied before leaving the restaurant.

“It was delicious. I’m so full. What’s next, Wataru-san?”

Next, huh…? We’re full, so let’s take a walk in Central Park and go to the casino. I’m worried about the casino if we don’t decide how much money we’re going to spend.

Ines is losing her money through gambling, and it would be unfortunate if Girasole goes bankrupt. I’ll have to explain it to them.

“Then, let’s go to Central Park and take a walk.”

“Central Park is the park you were talking about at the bar yesterday, isn’t it? It would be fun to take a leisurely stroll there.”

“I agree. After we finish our stroll and get hungry, let’s go to the casino.”

We walked toward Central Park while explaining about the casino. By the time we arrive, we may be hungry, and… that’s not likely the case.
