「Why am I being talked about like the mastermind of perverts? Isn’t that strange?」
「The one who is strange is your head, isn’t it?」
「Shut up, you nymphomaniac. Silence.」
Growling in their throats, the two bared their fangs at each other.
After a while, perhaps getting bored, they sat side by side and soaked in the bath.
「Hey, Mische.」
「What?」
「…Aren’t you being unusually kind to Argusta-sama recently?」
「It’s normal to wag your tail for a good boss. Normal.」
Watching the idiot floating on the surface in a spread-eagle position again, Frea let out a sigh.
「Normal, huh. Then was informing the Captain about the hearing also ‘normal’?」
「Well～. I thought the Captain already knew, though～」
「How feigned. And the previous assassin incident was the same. It shouldn’t have been something that required 『you』 to move just because it made paperwork easier, right? Sending 『his』 subordinates should have been enough.」
「Well～. If I don’t move my body occasionally, I’ll rot. Yes.」
「I see. If you say so, then that’s fine.」
If the other party didn’t want to talk, there was no need to force them.
If it were work, she would 『ask』 and make them speak 『voluntarily』 about everything, but this question wasn’t work. It was just curiosity.
「…You are moving behind the scenes, aren’t you?」
「Who knows? I am just a cute little puppy.」
「I prefer a stray dog.」
「And then you’ll lick my pussy. You nymphomaniac.」
「…Sink.」
「Gao!」
The moment she was lightly touched, only her head became heavy, and Mische sank diagonally into the bath.
Frea looked at her own hands while watching this amusing object.
The self-weight manipulation magic, which she hadn’t used in a while, was as convenient as ever. However, since it was magic used on people or objects, it was very plain and lacked flashiness. Yet, Frea liked it next to her exclusive armed and material reinforcement magic.
「There are many people who created such convenient magic besides the genius Islerose… I wonder why that criminal’s name is passed down so much?」
Frea smiled at Mische, who had desperately supported her head and stood up.
「Can’t you create magic to speed up marriage prospects?」
「…Let’s hear you out after punching you three times first!」
Frea intercepted Mische, who had jumped at her.
Lutte, who had been punished to mediate their fight, even joined in… and later, the three of them received the punishment of cleaning the large bathhouse for 20 days.

「……Satisfied.」
「I am glad to hear that.」
「Yes.」
In my arms, Noie was happily swaying her stray lock of hair.
The usual style… hugging her from behind has finally been unbanned! Thank you, Queen Mother! I am truly proud to be your son.
Then, Noie handed me the documents she had been holding. It was the file regarding 『Camieu』. I had already glanced through it while Noie was in the bath.
In her case, it takes quite a while to wash her hair since it is so long. I used that chance to change, head to the bedroom first, and check the contents. I thought there might be something inside that I shouldn’t show her.
The contents were a standard record of an investigation.
However, she didn’t seem to speak much about the core of the matter. Perhaps because she had come as an assassin from the very beginning, the woman named Camieu had simply accepted all her crimes.
I could even read words to the effect of her wanting to be killed quickly.
But she wasn’t executed, instead, she was sent to the same facility where Noie had been. It seems she met Noie there after she arrived and looked after her. Apparently, she and Glodia had fought fiercely over her. To think Noie-san has been a femme fatale since back then… she truly is a sinful wife.
However, as far as my investigation goes, Camieu-san is not “inside” Noie.
Did something happen and she died, or does it have something to do with Noie’s Demon Eyes?
「Nuzzle nuzzle.」
「Funyuu～」
I have learned so much today that my head might explode if I think any more.
In that case, I shall simply dote on my wife.
When I stroked her head a little firmly, Noie became like putty and leaned against me.
That sweet scent after a bath… why is it that women always smell so good?
The pampered Noie looked my way.
「Are we doing it?」
「…What do you want to do, Noie?」
「……」
At that question, her cheeks turned red and she began to look troubled.
Since Noie-san was the one who made the no-touching rule, I thought I’d let her struggle a bit more… but then she pushed me over.
「I want to.」
Noie-san climbed on top of me, looking down with eyes like a predator that had found its prey.
This is bad. This is definitely the pattern where I get devoured.
「N-Noie? What do you plan on doing?」
「Yes. I will [Zukyuun] the [Dokan] into my [Bakyuun], and then [Zudoon] Arg-sama.」
The Head Maid’s words are having a grand brawl in her head without me knowing! That is a no-go! If you do that to me, I will definitely shrivel up!
「Arg-sama.」
「Yes.」
「I will do my best.」
「……Yes.」
At this rate, it looks like my day off tomorrow is already guaranteed.

Midnight
Noie, who had suddenly awakened, looked to her side and touched her hand to the other person’s face.
「Sleep. In the cradle.」
The words she spoke became magic language and echoed. And he, who had been sleeping, fell into a deeper slumber.
Confirming this, Noie once again placed her white hands around his neck.
She slowly applied pressure, strangling him.
「Stop it, Glodia.」
「You’ve come out, haven’t you? Camieu.」
At Noie’s sharp gaze… a shadow moved in the corner of the room, forming the shape of a woman.
Slowly revealing herself, she looked into Noie with her dark red eyes.
「So everyone is gathered. Does that mean you have business with me?」
「Yes, that’s right, Camieu. I want you to tell me everything, including the fact that this man is from another world.」
「If I refuse… it’s obvious.」
Seeing the figure of her 『precious treasure』 trying to strangle his neck, the woman… Camieu gave in.
「So, what do you want to ask me?」
「Everything you are hiding from us.」
「There are things I cannot tell.」
「Even so, speak everything… Woman who became a God.」
At those dismissive words, Camieu scoffed through her nose.
「There is no God in this world. There is only… a stubborn person who doesn’t listen.」
～Afterword～
Camieu-san has finally appeared, but I will omit the content of the conversation here.
The day will come when I will speak of it in detail, but now is not the time to reveal that content.
From next time, it will be the latter half of summer. I will include one character introduction.
To roughly describe the latter half of summer… something huge will happen in the Empire, Lutte and Mische might go on a blind date, a Samurai Girl will come from the west to visit Noie, Noie will find out that Argusta is secretly doing something again and her tear ducts will completely collapse, and Frea-san’s boyfriend might finally appear, and so on.
Of course, rest assured that the main story will also progress. It will progress, right?
