It happened while I was relaxing in the living room.
A visitor came running in with loud footsteps, thudding heavily across the floor.
And it turned out to be, of all people, her.
「Spit it out!」
「Spit what!? Gueh!」
She suddenly grabbed me by the collar, how am I supposed to spit anything out like this!
What is it, Ayame-san!? What happened, Ayame-san!?
「Why is Shion here!? Why was she watering the flowers at the entrance!? Did you force yourself on her!?」
「Abababa, huh? Sh-Shion?」
「Hey hey hey, onee-chan! Stop choking m’lord’s neck! M’lord is weak! He’ll die right away!」
No no, I’ve been training for a while now, so I’ve gotten reasonably stronger, and my durability has gone up quite a bit compared to before, you know?
Well, compared to Shion and the others it’s still just a tiny, insignificant amount…… sniff.
No, this isn’t the time to cry…… eh? Eh? Onee-chan?
「Eh, Shion’s older sister is Ayame-san!?」
「Yup, that’s right! Well, since you know Iris-sama, m’lord, I figured you’d know onee-chan too.」
No no no.
They don’t look alike at all!?
If anything, the only similarity is their dark hair color!
But even then, Yuuki-san has the same hair color!
Their personalities and the look in their eyes are completely different!
……It’s true that when I heard Shion had an older sister, Ayame-san flashed through my mind for a second, but I immediately dismissed it as impossible!
「Shion!? You didn’t seriously make this man your master, did you!?」
「Yes! Exactly! He is the magnificent lord worthy of my lifelong service!」
Shion stands with hands on hips and a smug look.
More importantly, tell her to let go of my collar already!
Right now, Ayame-san is just holding it loosely, but her stats are so high it’s really tight!
「No way…… Think again, Shion. It’s not too late yet!」
「No way…… In fact, I’m the one who pushed hard to serve him.」
「Wha…… Listen, Shion. I don’t know what he did to you, but this man is a pervert. A pervert who’s barely human. He has six women as slaves, his eyes gleam at women’s thighs, and he never blinks if there’s even a chance to glimpse underwear!? Knowing you, you probably got dazzled by money for a moment, but stop it! You’ll catch the pervert disease!」
Ehhh…… my reputation is completely trashed, isn’t it?
I thought after spending some time together, you’d at least see me in a slightly better light……
Also, pervert disease doesn’t spread. And I’m not as much of a pervert as Origol.
「Onee-chan……」
「Shion, please understa….. 」
「Right now, I’m here too, so that makes seven slaves, you know?」
「Youuuuuuu!!」
「Aba baba ba!」
If she keeps shaking my neck like that, it’s going to come off!
This isn’t a joke, isekai is terrifying!
At this rate my head’s going to roll right off!
「Onee-chan! Calm down!」
「Shion! You calm down! I’m just trying to protect my only little sister from being corrupted by a pervert!」
「……Jeez. ……Onee-chan, aren’t you actually jealous because your little sister got ahead of you?」
「……Ha? What…… do you mean…… don’t tell me, you already!」
「Ehehe～! M’lord is…… so intense and so gentle…… I’m completely head over heels for m’lord now～」
「Youuuuuuuuuu!!」
Ah, this is bad.
Seriously going to come off! It’s coming off!
Ayame-san once said my arm wouldn’t come off easily, but my neck is about to!
This is the first time I’ve seen Ayame-san lose her composure like this!
「Come on, onee-chan. If you keep going, m’lord really will die, so please let go. Even if it’s you, onee-chan, I won’t forgive that. Actually, if you keep it up, Shiro might kill you. And just so you know, I’ll help her.」
「Ugh…… grr……」
She finally let go, but she’s glaring at me with pure resentment, or at least I think so. My vision’s shaking too much and it’s making me sick……
I can barely tell that Shiro and Shion are still here.
「Anyway, onee-chan, you should know m’lord’s good points too, right? Maybe not everything, but you’ve known him for quite a while now, haven’t you? Then there’s no way you don’t understand.」
「That’s…… true, I can’t say he has no good qualities…… But honestly, I thought you had much higher standards for a master……」
「They are high～ First, he has to be someone fun to be around, comfortable to stay with, and forgiving of at least some rudeness. Of course he has to be rich, that’s a given, and no one without proper hygiene. M’lord clears all of that with ease.」
「……True, with those conditions, nobles or royalty would have a hard time. But…… why does it have to be this man……」
Uuu…… Ayame-san really is the tsun type, huh.
No dere coming at all……
Well, I suppose that’s just how Ayame-san is, so maybe it fits her perfectly.
「Muu. You’re being unusually persistent today…… Ah, could it be that onee-chan was also after m’lord? Are you holding back because it’s your little sister? It’s fine. M’lord will definitely accept onee-chan too. One person, two people, eight people, it makes no difference! There are precedents even for blood-related sisters, apparently! Come on!」
Precedents…… she must mean Renge and Koren, right?
How do you even know about that……?
「Wh-What do you mean ‘come on’!? Don’t just decide everything on your own! I have absolutely no such intentions!」
「But but, you’re already used to your first partner, and you said the first time was all pain, but it was completely fine for me? He was so gentle and careful, yet intense at the same time, not painful at all, in fact my head went all fuzzy, my vision kept flashing, it felt so good I lost consciousness and my hips gave out! I studied it in books, but real experience is totally different! My experience points shot up! Onee-chan would definitely get hooked too! Actually, I’m already completely hooked!」
「S-Stop with the graphic details! Haa…… Fine. I admit it. I admit he has good qualities…… but….. 」
It seems Ayame-san still can’t fully accept it.
Well, it’s her only blood-related little sister facing a major turning point in life. Of course she can’t just agree easily……
「Haa…… honestly. That Ayame. Leaving me behind as her escort, what is she thinking?」
「Iris. Welcome.」
「Umu. Sorry for the commotion.」
「Ah…… well, I can understand why.」
When your own flesh and blood becomes the slave of someone you know, it’s only natural to make a fuss.
Still, I have no intention of letting her go now, so I hope she comes around somehow……
「I see. Thank you for saying that. Hou…… so this is Ayame’s little sister, Shion. Haha, you two don’t look alike at all.」
「Iris didn’t know either, huh.」
「Umu. Well, Ayame doesn’t talk much…… but something quite unusual is happening right in front of me.」
Iris lets out a long breath.
She seems pretty worn out.
She sits down beside me and slumps completely, going all limp.
「……Ice cream?」
「Hmm, umu. You noticed before I even said it. As expected of a considerate man.」
Well, I can’t completely deny the thought that handing Iris ice cream should at least keep her calm for now.
「You look tired.」
「Umu…… well, that’s how it is right after founding a nation. One should not so easily take on the role of overseer. Once things settle, I will find replacements right away.」
「Come on, don’t say that. It just means they’re relying on you, right?」
「Indeed…… Or rather, if we’re talking about that, you were asked too, weren’t you?」
「Ah…… sort of? But that was just Origol being selfish, right?」
「Fool. Dama and Meira nominated you as well. Of course, so did I.」
「Ah…… I’m grateful they think so highly of me, but I’ll pass.」
「As expected. The other two said the same. Well, fine. As far as I’m concerned, I’m grateful just to be able to relax like this from time to time.」
When I finish preparing the ice cream, her tired face seems to brighten a little.
Iris picks up the ice cream from the table, then hops lightly onto one of my knees.
Why one knee? I soon realize it’s so Shiro can climb onto the other.
「Hawa…… ice cream…… I can keep going just for this……」
Iris leans against me, her face melting into pure bliss as she eats the ice cream.
She savors each slow lick of the spoon, treasuring every small bite until it’s gone.
「More?」
「Umu. But before that……」
Something more important than ice cream? As I wonder, she takes my arm and uses it to support her waist.
「Yes. Perfect. Now, seconds.」
「What’s this? Feeling needy today?」
「There are days like that too. Haa…… so peaceful…… such happy time.」
「Yeah…… mm.」
「Umu. Moments like this really are nice. I want things to calm down soon, but I suppose I’ll keep working hard for that.」
With Shiro held the same way as Iris, I decide to enjoy this relaxed time too, after all, I’ve been busy lately as well.
It’s probably only a short while before Ayame-san, who rarely shows her emotions so openly, and Shion, who’s happily teasing her sister after so long, both turn their gazes toward us.
