Morning.
Silas slowly opened his eyes.
[Time until next simulation opens: Approximately 11 days]
Still very early for the next game.
Actually, there's nothing to struggle with; just going directly to the monastery to investigate will solve everything.
Madam Melina had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast. Meat porridge, fragrant croissants.
"Silas?"
"..."
Miss Siya sitting aside probably didn't understand why he would suddenly reach out to feed her.
"Tasty. Want more."
She was influenced by Silas; things she couldn't figure out, she stopped thinking about. Especially good things.
"..."
Silas took a sip of porridge, looking at the heat overflowing from the bowl.
Ah.
It was easy to say in the game, but this hard-won harmonious atmosphere, to break it with his own hands... things have to be done one by one.
Find the sister-in-law first.
"I have to go to the stable later."
"Oh. Siya also wants to work with Mama."
"..."
The mother and daughter seemed to be going to discuss future guidelines with other similar kinds still staying in Flores City. After all, when they established the 'Freemasonry Mutual Aid Society' before, there were two main purposes: helping similar kinds and finding themselves. Nowadays, fewer and fewer similar kinds are persecuted, and they have found themselves.
Miss Siya is never troublesome. Although evaluating her like this is a bit excessive, it is the truth.
And Miss Princess, who was found not by the bed when opening eyes in the morning.
"Ready? Silas."
Miss Elisa, who had enthusiastically changed into armor, pushed the door open. She also had a long sword at her waist.
Miss Princess said, since she's back anyway, might as well take him to inspect the areas near Flores City together. She planned to confirm personally before returning to the Holy City.
Then, since the Empress wants to travel, even if it's a private visit, it can't be just her. Have to find the Knight Order left in the monastery...
So.
"Why this expression? Didn't say you can't come up when leading the horse..."
"..."
Silas completely didn't care whether riding a horse with Miss Elisa or simply leading the horse. The problem is, leading the freshly prepared Miss Elisa to find the sister-in-law, isn't it a bit too confident?
In reality, left the stable only a few days ago.
But returning to the shed filled with the smell of horse manure and forage, Silas felt a lot of emotions.
The shed where the brown mare stayed was decorated with many things; even the rope binding forage was changed to silk, tied with a bow. The shed also had a 'VIP' sign. Anti-collision pads, speed bumps were all installed.
The mare was still eating grass with her head down like that, but inexplicably felt much nobler.
"Ah... brother is here?"
Also met the Maid lady. It seems, when Silas was away, she took up the position of assisting in monitoring whether the grooms were slacking off.
"Hey, speaking of which, because you are valued by the Lord now, my work is much less."
"..."
Silas became nostalgic.
Thinking back, lying on the forage pile with a straw in mouth, how pure a person?
Just wanted to change the class confinement of being a groom for a lifetime.
But is the Maid lady also nostalgic? It's been so long, still coming out from his side courtyard room in the stable with somewhat flushed thighs. Even if saying going to clean, but seeing through X-Ray vision the peeled small potato stuffed between her legs... hard to believe just went in to clean.
"Sister Maid, I have a question."
"What?"
"I know a friend, just cheated and got forgiveness from his wife, but cheated again immediately, do you think this kind of person..."
"Stay away from him. You absolutely can't make friends with any rotten person! Especially when you are in the rising period of your career! Bad reputation affects a lot among nobles! You know there was a small noble here before who lost everything because hanging out with a dandy with a very bad reputation!"
"..."
"Moreover, our Principality of Ignar is governed by the Empress! Her Majesty the Empress is open-minded in many places, only very strict on laws implemented on marriage. Whether man or woman, marriage fraud, cheating... at least 50 lashes, severe ones beheaded and home raided. You are so young, maybe you can see the Empress in the future... must pay attention."
The Maid lady said a lot earnestly.
Damn.
Why did he tell Miss Elisa about population control back then? Just talking about taxes and such was completely enough.
The Maid lady wouldn't understand at all.
His 'friend', what see Empress in the future... seeing now.
Chatted for a while.
Silas led the mare away from the stable. Before parting, inexplicably got gloves from the Maid lady.
"..."
In the VIP guest room, actually just a small wooden house room, Miss Elisa who had been waiting for a long time stood up.
Staring straight at the pink gloves in Silas's hand.
"I don't care what a mere maid does..."
"She treats me as a brother."
"But I smelled a strange scent! I... am a Succubus."
"That's just too deep into the role, wanting to take care of me too much."
"But..."
"Miss Rose said, the Maid lady is a very good person, hope she often visits home as a guest."
"Don't use her to provoke me! Humph!"
Miss Elisa's vinegar jar overturns fast, heals fast too. Provocation is very useful on her.
"I just don't like... others fantasizing about you."
"Then take a step back, others can only fantasize, you don't need to fantasize."
"What? Saying so..."
Miss Elisa blushed.
"..."
Although very sorry, the Maid lady can only become part of the play.
See.
Her Majesty the Empress is actually very easy to handle. A little bit of jealousy, easy peasy.
Then, discovering Miss Rose's existence she was sulking, discovering Miss Siya wanted to leave in a huff.
Discovering Miss Rose's sister again, what will she become?
"You... why so quiet today?"
"..."
In crowded places, Miss Elisa was embarrassed to let Silas ride too, but after leaving the city gate with no one around, it didn't matter.
"Occasionally I also think about life."
"Tch, just you?"
"Miss Elisa knows about lies?"
"What?"
"There are two kinds of lies, one concerns established facts, one concerns future responsibility."
Silas now felt how difficult the promise to the sister-in-law was.
"..."
Elisa was silent, pinched Silas's thigh, "Alright, I know everything."
"?"
What?
She knows about the sister-in-law?
"You... while I was sleeping, did it with her."
"..."
"You even stuffed her under the bed. I smelled a weird scent when I got up in the morning. Why do you think I left as soon as I got up! I was waiting, to see when you would be willing to say."
Did Miss Siya leave any evidence under the bed?
"B-but she's not bad."
"Didn't cling to you relentlessly, didn't disturb me either... very polite to me too. Since I accepted her, then you want to do anything with her no need to be so sneaky... I'm very generous."
"Just... why must be by the bed? Treat me as what... I, even if accepting her, not so fast can be together..."
"..."
Miss Elisa spoke softer and softer.
"Cher willing to be together?"
"Didn't say!"
"..."
Silas's thigh was pinched fiercely again. But Miss Elisa's face red to ear roots won't lie.
She is just like this, right? Accepted Miss Siya. And Siya looks non-aggressive, not fighting or grabbing. Maybe even because Miss Siya chose to come sneakily, had a little guilt.
The brown mare ate very full, ran very steadily.
"Thinking about what again... poked me!"
"..."
Physically will react because of the current delicate and dripping Miss Princess, feel a bit sensitive after molting too.
But Silas's psychology is harder to take a step.
Ah.
Current Elisa is open-minded to this extent, then adding a sister-in-law, can she still be so open-minded?
Don't know.
Say nothing for now, act according to circumstances at the monastery. If really can't, just lie to her saying this is Miss Rose's family tradition, buy one get one free. What if she believes it?
