Vol. 2 Chapter 189
Two Sisters
Translated by Raizu
After passing through the castle gates, I dismounted from the horse in the middle of the slope in front of Newnelly Castle.
The metal clattering of the armor was somewhat annoying.
This return to Newnelly will be the first since the fall of Reisleaf Castle. In other words, it will be a triumphant return when viewed from a citizen’s point of view.
Just like when I returned to Nambonan City, I was advised that it would be better to mount a fully armed horse and show off my military exploits rather than return elegantly in a carriage.
On top of the hill, just in front of the castle, dozens of servants were waiting in line across the road.
And in the center of the road stands Tesh, who is also my chief servant.
When I entrusted the horse’s reins to a nearby servant, Tesh approached me after thanking me once.
[Thank you for your hard work on the long trip.]
[I had a hard time during the welcome. …..The city was very busy, so I took a little time to walk. It was much more exciting than Nambonan City.]
It seemed that the triumphant return had been notified to the public in advance, and they were in a very welcoming mood.
I took the trouble to put on the armor, so let’s use it as much as possible… I thought so. Thus, instead of going straight home, I went around Newnelly City first.
[It’s a great pleasure for the citizens, since it’s the military exploits of Young Master, who will be the next Head of Quordenze family.]
According to Tesh, when the news of the fall of Reisleaf reached the citizens of Newnelly, there was already a great uproar.
Most citizens do not understand the military importance of the Reisleaf region. However, anyone can understand the meaning of breaking the “Voistra Great Shield” that the Spierzeig family is proud of.
To put it simply, it’s a sign of Spierzeig’s end, or so they say.
When I was chatting with Tesh about the recent state of Newnelly, another carriage stopped just before the slope.
Even though it’s called a slope, it’s paved with stone, and if anything, it’s better to call it a staircase with a very wide tread. Climb one step, go four or five steps, and then climb another step.
A horse can climb it easily, but it’s impossible with a carriage with wheels.
The servant who was standing by moved quickly and set up a small ramp to get off the carriage.
At the same time, the door of the carriage opened, and Koharii emerged from within, led by the maid. The gesture of looking around the surroundings with caution is reminiscent of a cat walking in the city.
[Mayor.]
After confirming my presence, she got off the ramp attached to the carriage with a rhythmic thump, thump, thump, and slowly approached me.
She was a little humbled by the servants that she saw for the first time, but she doesn’t act servile. The word “gentleness” came to mind, perhaps because of her good upbringing in this area.
[Umm… Where is big brother?]
That was Koharii’s first words as she approached.
Ramon, who had been traveling on foot with the army, said a few words of thanks and left as soon as he entered the city of Newnelly.
Apparently the Bermakan family had prepared lodging for his stay, so he grabbed the letter I prepared and went to say hello.
[…So, Ramon is somewhere in the castle town. Tyco’s younger brother also came with him. They might be busy unpacking their luggage.]
[Canis too?]
Tyco’s younger brother came to Newnelly along with Ramon, perhaps because he was a chore worker. Even Koharii, who was pretending to work at the Mayor’s residence, seems to have had some acquaintance with Tyco’s younger brother.
However, Tyco’s younger brother has been hammered into working by Ramon as his errand boy and has been overworked to his heart’s content, so I think his chore level is several steps higher. I remember seeing Tyco’s brother several times in the hallway of the Mayor’s residence with his arms full of documents.
[If you need something from Ramon, you can send someone to inform him later.]
Like the mansion in Nambonan City, Koharii will likely have a maid.
Even though she requested it, I actually took the trouble to bring her to Newnelly. She must have been recognized as an important concubine.
When I turned my gaze to Tesh, he complimented my words.
[We have prepared a full-time maid to take care of Koharii-sama. We will introduce you when we guide you to the room. We have been contacted by the Bermakan family, so we know where your brother is staying. If you need an intermediary, please feel free to tell me.]
Hearing that we knew where he was staying, Koharii seemed to let her chest down.
She let out a small sigh and smiled.
[Thank you.]
The gesture of gratitude she showed to Tesh was natural, and I didn’t feel anything particularly preoccupied. The young lady called out to the servant, as if it was a natural thing without any sense of incongruity.
For some reason, Koharii is used to dealing with servants, and despite being a commoner, she is well-educated. I don’t think it was a mistake to decide that there would be no problem even if I let her live in the castle.
In addition, if Koharii were to live in the villa, she might become friends with Eve, who has a strangely high communication skill, and Raeve’s existence could come to light. For the time being, the servants have a gag order, so if I keep them in the castle, Koharii and Eve will not come into contact with each other.
[I’m leaving her in your care, Tesh. Koharii is a precious person to me]
When I stood next to Koharii, I put one hand on her thin waist and used it as a chance to hug her body.
Fluffy. The scent wafting from her long hair tickled my nostrils.
As expected, I have to visit Koharii tonight. I could feel my resolve, and dick, harden.
In the first place, I was planning to enjoy Koharii to the fullest on the way back. However, the maids of the Knight family who let me stay overnight were all in my strike spots, so I thoroughly enjoyed once-in-a-lifetime sex.
For some reason, I feel like they’re analyzing the type of women that I like based on my sexual behavior so far.
Anyway, even though Koharii was close by, the reality was that I haven’t been able to sleep with her yet.
[If there’s something you can’t talk to anyone about, you can tell me.]
Saying that, I hugged her from the front in order to fully enjoy Koharii’s scent.
Gyuu… Koharii let out an agonized sigh as I tightened my embrace.
She likes being hugged tightly like this. I think it’s probably because Ramon had been loving Koharii like this, but this way she’s really good at listening.
[…..yes…..]
[Alright. Good girl.]
After we finished hugging, she nodded at my words with regret in her eyes.
Looking at her eyes glowing with a fully open aura of reliance, I can’t help but want to say, [Rely on me].
Blessed with a good older brother, a younger sister may naturally acquire the art of tickling masculinity.
When I started walking inside the castle, Koharii started walking diagonally behind me. It’s a distance where you can fold your arms if you stretch out your hand. I could see that you are walking carefully so as not to get left behind.
For the time being, I decided to head to Koharii’s room.
I could have left the rest to the maids, but I wanted to know the location of the room beforehand.
For the night visit of course.
It was just when I arrived at the private room assigned to Koharii.
[Onii-sama.]
From the corner of the corridor, Fanny and her group of servants appeared.
She is my cute little sister, with bright blue long wavy hair and a smile that reminds me of the spring sunshine.
[I’m home, Fanny.]
Of course, I knew that she was approaching due to my magic detection.
Fanny must have been doing magic detection as well, so much so that when I started moving to Koharii’s room, she changed her movements accordingly. As if she’s thinking [Onii-sama, where are you going~? Wait~], which was really cute.
[…..Onii-sama.]
Fanny approached me with a quick pace while not losing her elegance. Seeing that, I spread my hands at an angle of about 30 degrees, and she rolled right into it.
Enclosing her with both arms, I reconfirm the nostalgic sensation of hugging my sister.
[Onii-sama…]
[Fufu, what’s wrong with you, Fanny? Treat me like a small child. Look, cute, cute.]
Yosh yosh. I tasted the softness of Fanny’s hair with my fingertips as I pet her like a dog or cat.
It felt so good that I felt like I could keep petting forever without ever getting tired of it.
As if aiming for the depths of my chest, Fanny pressed her body, head, and face against me. It is somewhat like an animal marking, and I felt a strong love from this act.
It’s a pity that Fanny’s puffiness couldn’t be fully appreciated because of her thick clothes. If it’s up to me, next time I want you to jump in with less clothes.
For now, let’s enjoy my little sister in a cute layered dress.
[Hmm… I mean, Onii-sama had a difficult battle, didn’t he? I was very worried whether you were injured or not….. After all, onii-sama always tries not to worry me, right?]
Fanny, still stuck on my chest, looked up at me.
Those endlessly blue eyes capture me and won’t let go.
[We exchanged letters many times. Everything is alright, you know.]
When I was staying at Reisleaf Castle, I exchanged letters with Fanny. Every time there was a sentence asking if there were any injuries. Each time I replied that I was fine, but apparently they didn’t trust me at all.
[……Really?]
Tap, tap, tap.
Fanny boldly tapped her hands on my body. I guess she’s checking to see if I’m really uninjured. Never petting.
Your big brother’s dick is swollen, could you please check it…those words almost escaped my throat, but I swallowed them back.
Fanny avoided my crotch even if she was tapping on my butt.
However, if you think about it paradoxically, wouldn’t it make sense that I can touch Fanny’s butt too? I don’t think so.
[I’m relieved that onii-sama is alright…]
Now that she’s done checking for residual magic, Fanny pressed her face against my chest once more before taking a step back.
Then, she turned her gaze as if expecting something.
[Will onii-sama be staying at the castle tonight?]
For a moment, I take a deep breath inside my head so as not to get upset.
[I plan to stay here until I go to the Royal Capital with father. I might visit the castle during the day.]
Fanny must be happy with my words, and put her left hand on her cheek.
When Fanny is really happy, she puts one hand on her cheek to deceive her smiling mouth. Obviously, your big brother knows everything about his sister.
[I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about.]
Fanny smiled gently. She’s telling me to sleep with her tonight.
I couldn’t be happier if this was “sleep” in a different sense, but in this case it’s “sleep” in a healthy sense.
I was planning to visit Koharii tonight. However, would I be able to ignore my little sister, who was genuinely happy to be able to chat with me and had a warm smile on her face?
[I also have a lot of things I want to talk to Fanny about.]
The answer is, no.
[Onii-sama too? Fufu.]
I want to protect this smile. I don’t know, every time I feel like my plan to have sex is always interrupted by Fanny in this pattern.
I’m a hopeless older brother.
[…..oh?]
At this point, Fanny finally noticed Koharii standing diagonally behind me.
Her gaze shifted to Koharii for just a moment, but it quickly returned to me.
[Onii-sama.]
[Hmm? What is it?]
[Who is this one with beautiful hair?]
It’s difficult for me to say that the girl was my mistress.
Speaking of which, it may be the first time Fanny has seen my mistress. She has many maids in the castle, but for Fanny, the maids are just servants. She’s been living inside the castle most of the time after all.
In other words, Koharii would be the first of my mistresses she comes to know.
I don’t think she had met Eve. There’s no way Fanny could guess that my “exclusive servant” is also a sex slave.
As I was searching for the right words to answer, one of Fanny’s maids quietly approached us. Then, she quietly whispered something to Fanny.
Immediately, Fanny quietly replied, [I understand]. The servant’s words were small and hard to hear, but I heard something like a sermon.
It seemed that she was told that it was a part that should not be touched.
[…Onii-sama. I’m looking forward to tonight.]
[Ye…yeah. Me too. Looking forward to it.]
The conversation ended abruptly, but it’s fine if this topic ends. I also don’t want Fanny to know much about the circumstances of my lower body.
Well, I received a letter reporting that there are several pregnant maids in the castle, including Oddie. She may already have a vague idea about it.
[Father and mother are waiting for you. Let’s go together.]
Fanny pulled my arm.
[Yeah. …..Tesh?]
[I’ll handle the rest.]
Following those words, the two maids took a step forward and bowed. It seemed that they would take care of Koharii.
Even while greeting Koharii, my arm was tugged. That power, which was apt to be reserved at first, gradually grew stronger.
I parted with Koharii before my clothes were torn by the strength of a highlord
[Everyone has been looking forward to dining with onii-sama for a long time.]
I don’t think it’s just my imagination that Fanny’s words sounded a little emotionless.
The way she played with her curly hair reminded me of the back of a cat with its tail resting on the floor.
This time, I have received an informal offer to become the next Head of the family.
For that reason, I thought that there would be some kind of event at the dinner table.
However, unexpectedly, it ended with only praise for Operation Serpent’s Fang.
Normally, they would gather all the knights who serve the Quordenze family and hold an informal appointment ceremony, but it seemed that they couldn’t afford to do such a thing at present.
Between the operation related to the suppression of the Reisleaf region, the more complicated diplomatic coordination, and preparations for the imminent departure of the Royal Capital’s social gathering, my father seems to be very busy.
It seems that he is announcing his unofficial appointment as the next Head of the family to surrounding nobles, so the fait accompli seems to be building.
After finishing the meal, my father ordered me to come to the innermost room before going to bed.
He said that he would like to talk in detail about the Royal Capital’s social gathering and the appointment of the next Head of the family.
Since this is the most important secret of the Quordenze family, I think he would like to have a meeting out of the ear of my mother, even though the Evenafis are an ally.
Even at the dinner table, he didn’t even mention anything about the Royal Capital.
I proceeded down the stairs while sorting out the issues that were likely to come up in tonight’s meeting.
After the meal, Fanny said that she had to study for her daily routine, and left with regret.
I was at a loss for what to do, so I asked the head maid to guide me to see Oddie.
[I am very sorry to invite you to such a small place.]
[It’s fine.]
[Oddie, Young Master is here. Come in.]
The head maid called out to the door.
She opened the door and went inside when I heard a muffled noise from the room.
[Oddie, it’s been a while.]
In the room, there was Oddie sitting on an easy chair.
[Young Master, forgive me that you have to come here.]
[Okay, just stay. Don’t move. It’s alright.]
I held Oddie, who was about to stand up and bow, with my palms as I approached her.
The servant set up the same chair facing Oddie, so I sat on it.
When I looked at her stomach, I saw a bulge that was different from obesity.
[Your stomach has grown.]
[Thanks to you, things are going well… I have nothing but gratitude for you, Young Master.]
Oddie’s hand that was gently rubbing her stomach was full of love and kindness.
I decided to devote the afternoon to visit the women I’ve impregnated.
While I was in Reisleaf Castle, I received several pregnancy reports from the maids.
I wanted to have a face-to-face conversation with the girls who received the love that I had scattered in their wombs, not just by using letters. I believe that aftercare is important in order to continue an enjoyable sex life after giving birth.
It goes without saying that the fish that you will catch from now on, but you should also spread the bait to the fish that you have already caught.
That’s why, for the time being, I decided to go around to visit Oddie.
[By the way, are you not going home? I think it would be uncomfortable if you stayed in the castle…]
Oddie is still in a pretty high position for young maids, at least comparable to a manager in a company. The current situation is like going to work during maternity leave.
From my point of view, she refused to rest.
However, Oddie responded with a smile.
[Even if Young Master tells me to go home, in the end it’ll be a mansion in Newnelly… I have been living in this castle since I was born. There is no need to relax. Also, my mother is here, so it’s easy to talk to her.]
Oddie’s family is a knight family based in Newnelly.
[And right now, in the mansion, Minith is living the same life as me. Wouldn’t she be restless if I’m staying there with her?]
From Minith’s point of view, Oddie is still her boss. It’s true that having your boss nearby all the time during your pregnancy can cause a lot of stress.
[As long as Oddie is fine, that’s fine.]
From my point of view, as long as Oddie lives a healthy life and gives birth to a healthy baby, I have nothing to say. In fact, her words seemed to come from the heart.
I approached Oddie and gave her a light kiss. The kiss was accepted without any particular resistance.
[…..Oddie, do you believe in superstitions?]
[What superstitions?]
[Aren’t you still talking normally with me? …Is there such a thing as baby jealousy?]
It’s a rather cute superstition that you shouldn’t come near your beloved during pregnancy because it makes your heart flutter when you’re together, or something like that.
Minith and Anna were frightened by that superstition to the point that they were uneasy.
However, Oddie remained calm even when our lips were on top of each other.
It’s not that I want to avoid it, but I feel like I’m hated for being so carefree.
[I apologize if I offended you. But, well…about that, Young Master…]
[It’s no good, huh.]
I was going to say it as a joke, but it turned out to be much more pathetic than I expected.
Then, Oddie showed a captivating smile and whispered in my ear to hide her words from the head maid who is also her mother.
[…I’ve known you since you were a baby, and while I’m afraid of you, there is a large part of me that thinks of you as a little brother. So maybe this kid won’t get jealous ]
It’s something other maids can’t do, and I can’t say that they look at me as their younger brother.
She may think so because she is a half-sister born between my father and the head maid.
And Oddie has taken care of me since I was an infant. It might be difficult for her to see me as a man, rather than as a younger brother or child.
And most importantly, Oddie still loves her husband.
Even though she received my child and became pregnant, it seems that her relationship with her husband has actually improved. I can’t understand the sense of chastity of the knight family.
I thought I could make Oddie into one of my women by sleeping with her, but I was wrong.
However, since Oddie’s smile is my number one priority, I have no intention of forcibly separating the couple.
It’s fine as long as I can continue spreading my seed in her womb whenever I feel like it.
It’s my WIN if I can still have sex with Oddie, it’s Oddie’s WIN for fulfilling her duty as a female lord, and it’s also Oddie’s husband’s WIN because he gets to have a Lord-class child. The knights WIN because the number of Lords increases.
It’s WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN, almost like the noise of a vibrator.
[Do you want me to touch you?]
[Please.]
I touched her bulging stomach. Inside here is a child growing from the seed that I planted.
The situation of impregnating a half-sister with the approval of her husband was truly immoral and a good one.
[Are you feeling well?]
[Yes, I feel fine.]
I took Oddie’s hand while sitting on the chair and clasped it with both hands.
I secretly made up my mind to train the next one as soon as the current child is born.
[Even though you have magical powers, it will be your first child, right? I don’t think there will be any problems since the head maid is here, but if you have any problems, you can consult me directly.]
Oddy’s face turned dumbfounded at my statement.
Then I turned my gaze to my mother, the head maid, who was standing behind me.
[Young Master. A full-time healer has been assigned to Oddie. Please understand that before listening.]
[Nn? Yeah.]
[Since I am a serf, I have no experience, but it seems that the magical power that comes out of the body becomes very unstable during pregnancy. Oddie seems to be doing well today, but I hear that on bad days, she can lose her magical power for several days. In other words, she will be in the same state as having a serf’s body during those times.]
I’ve known for some time that magic power becomes unstable during pregnancy, but I never thought that the output could drop to zero. At most, I thought that it was only half the output, or the magic activation becoming unstable.
Is that okay? The head maid just said that there is a full-time healer. If I get upset over this, I won’t look good as a noble.
[Oddie, is that so?]
[Yes, it was my first experience and at first it was very frightening… How fragile the bodies of serfs and those born without magic are… Some of the old people are commoners. They are very kind to others, but I understand a little now.]
For those with magical power, the amount of time they do not output magical power increases as they age. Eventually, they will reach the end of their lifespan, but there are by no means a small number of people who awaken to mercy towards the commoners at this time.
By standing on the same level as those who had been looked down upon as vulnerable until now, I realized that [You guys are living well with such weak bodies].
When Oddy was earnestly talking about the value of magic, the head maid told me to admonish me.
[This is the same for any woman who has magical powers. Please understand this well when you get married one day. Even a Lord like Oddie felt uneasy. How much anxiety must a noble wife feel? It is Young Master who will be her husband who needs to support her.]
If my magic power were to be lost… if it was me, I’d probably become a hikikomori for fear of injury or death.
[I see. I’ll remember it well.]
[…Also, the output of magic power is not stable for infants and toddlers. If misfortune strikes, even the son of a Highlord may die of a commoner’s disease.]
A distant memory, it was about right after I was reincarnated on the Eruo continent.
When I was an infant, I was very ill one day, but I remember my mother healing me with healing magic. In other words, it probably means that I caught a cold because my magic power output was zero.
[If a woman’s magic becomes unstable due to pregnancy, do men also have similar circumstances? I wonder if I’ll be in that situation too…]
The person who answered that question was Tesh, who was following me.
[It’s usually due to aging……… No, the magic residue from attack magic is also a factor.]
Tesh’s way of speaking, where he added more after as if he remembered, made me feel like he knew the actual example.
Just a little bit of anxiety on my part.
[Aftereffects of residual magic… I wonder if grandfather is okay. If the magic power runs out while he is holding out on Reisleaf, there’s little we can do about it.]
Even if you’re a battle-hardened red demon, you can’t fight satisfactorily without being fueled by magical power.
[I apologize for causing Young Master concern. But, don’t worry. There is no confirmation that the Old Master’s magical power has become unstable. I don’t think he’s old enough to start experiencing magic power decline yet. If anything happens, it will be a burden on the Master and Young Master who are left behind.]
I see, that makes sense. And it didn’t look like Tesh was lying.
If a Highlord’s mana drops to zero, the surrounding people will definitely notice, so it is impossible to deceive them.
[In that case, good. …Somehow, it sounds like you know exactly such an example.]
[No, it’s only natural for Young Master to be worried about the Old Master. I apologize.]
Then, Tesh took a moment to ponder and said.
[………I have heard that some military officers who have been attacked by the Highlord many times have such symptoms. The power of the Highlord is too great for the body of a Lord-class officer. It is not uncommon for residue to remain.]
We are at war, and the damage will naturally extend to the military officers.
There must have been many battles against some Highlords when cutting out the outer lands. Then, inevitably, there must have been many sacrifices.
Perhaps it was because of my gloomy face, Tesh tried to make up for the aftereffects of being a military officer. Rather, the aftereffects or injuries are treated as an honor of fighting for my master, and not something that should make me feel guilty.
I think she added that part so that I wouldn’t be distracted more than necessary by military officers and soldiers when I was leading the troops.
[However, I think it’s better if Young Master doesn’t talk too much about residual magic to Old Master.]
Although it was an honorable injury, it is true that it left behind aftereffects.
My grandfather, who fights on the front lines, may have something on his mind.
I feel like my grandfather doesn’t really care about that kind of thing, but if Tesh says so, it’s probably right.
I honestly agreed.
