Vol. 2 Chapter 196
Eve’s Communication Skill
Translated by Raizu
There was not much time left until we had to depart to the Royal Capital.
By the time I arrived in Newnelly, a messenger was heading to the Sylopea territory.
Apparently, the Sylopea family will accompany the Quordenze family for this Royal Capital social gathering.
The plan was to meet up in Newnelly before departing for the Royal Capital.
The Sylopea side should have already made preparations, so they will come here as soon as the messenger arrives.
Earl Sylopea and the next Head of the family, Plume, will be accompanied by Sylopean Knights.
After enjoying tea with Fanny after breakfast, I immediately arranged to go down to the castle town.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been there, but if I want to go down to the castle town and do whatever I want, now is the only time.
[We will tend to Miss Koharii’s any needs.]
The second generation Head of Knight Bermakan bowed to me in reverence.
Decades after retirement, even though he is already in advanced age, his movements are still brisk and refined.
To match the formal atmosphere, I summoned my dignity and replied briefly.
[At ease.]
The first place that I visited was the Bermakan Mansion, which was situated in the castle town.
Knights who work at Newnelly Castle usually have bases like this in the city.
I came here at the request of Koharii. When I talked about going down to the castle town, I was told that she wanted to go to Bermakan’s mansion.
She must have been worried about her big brother, who had disappeared into a strange town far away from Nambonan City.
For me, it didn’t matter, but I decided that it would be convenient for Koharii to leave her, so I decided to bring her. In addition, I also thought about looking at the bride who was assigned to Ramon.
Unfortunately, that plan was a dud. Although I’ve come all the way to see the bride and groom, both of them were absent.
The so-called wedding reception is planned for a few days later, and Ramon is currently staying at an inn in the city.
On the other hand, it seems that the bride will be brought up from the branch family and adopted as expected. For that reason, she has not yet come to the Bermakan residence, which is the home of the main family. The day before the wedding reception, the bride and groom will meet for the first time when the adoption is being processed.
The thought about scamming with a false daughter came to mind again, but I decided not to worry about it.
If everyone is happy, then that’s all there is to it.
Ramon should come to visit the Bermakan residence every day, so if I wait here I should be able to meet him.
The second generation Head asked me to wait at the mansion until then. But it was actually not me, but Koharii, who wished to meet Ramon.
Unexpectedly, Koharii looks excited. Her appearance was adorable, and I felt a little jealous.
[Koharii.]
[Yes? …..Nnn!]
As my instincts dictated, I lightly pulled her waist in and sucked on her lips.
Koharii’s tongue, which was tense at first, loosened as I hugged her harder. It was luscious softness.
I stroke her beautiful silver hair that hangs vertically without defying gravity, and let her go.
[Let’s continue this later tonight. I’ll hold you tight.]
[……….Ye, yes…]
Maybe she felt embarrassed since there were still people around, Koharii’s eyes flickered around, which was so cute to me. This was her first experience in playing in the open after all, but I need to make her get used to it eventually.
On the other hand, the previous generation was looking at me with a smile rather than looking away.
[I’ll say this again. I leave Koharii in your care.]
[Leave it to us.]
Although I said that, it wasn’t really meant for Bermakan’s second generation Head. My real purpose was to appeal to Koharii.
Actually, even if I didn’t say anything, there’s no way Koharii would feel bad about it.
By the time I said I was going to Bermakan’s residence this morning, the castle’s servants should have come to explain Koharii’s handling. Her favorite tea, sweets, and hobbies must have been prepared behind the scenes.
Therefore, Koharii will be able to spend the day without any inconvenience.
It’s precisely because I understand that I’m appealing.
If I say this, they will mistakenly think that they are able to live comfortably thanks to my instructions.
Well, it’s mostly my instructions just because I didn’t say it out loud, but if I keep quiet, I won’t be able to convey it. It’s important to show that you can enjoy a good environment because there is a person with power like me.
[Also, I don’t mind if Koharii’s older brother is available, so please try to make it convenient. I talked to Knight Bermakan, but from now on, there will be more exchanges between Newnelly and Nambonan.]
This morning, I had a brief talk with Knight Bermakan, who came to Newnelly Castle to work, about Nambonan City’s administration.
In it, I explained my stance of giving more discretion to the locally hired officials in Nambonan City, and asked Ramon to tour the government agencies in Newnelly.
Nambonan City is the largest city outside of the Quordenze Territory in terms of both population and economic power. The more people there know about the administration in Quordenze, the better.
By understanding the administration of Newnelly City, it should give them hints on how to further advance Nambonan City.
It’s a long-awaited stay in Newnelly, so I want them to use what they can learn. If I raise them well, my work load during my stay in Nambonan will be further reduced.
[Thank you for taking care of my brother.]
[Don’t mention it.]
Putting her hands together in front of her chest, Koharii thanked me in a joyful voice. And then, she stared at me with her scarlet eyes sparkling.
In manga and novels, the villain attacks the target by saying things like, [There are people who can endure their own pain, but they can’t stand someone else getting hurt because of them!].
Looking at Koharii’s [I’m happy that I’m being cared for, but I’m even happier that my precious big brother is being cared for!] ……In the future, if there is an opportunity to evaluate or promote Ramon, I will try to reach out to her casually.
Koharii has already grown fond of me, but it’s still not enough. I want to enjoy sweet and heart-melting sex. Flirting personnel are always understaffed.
After saying goodbye with a light greeting, I boarded the carriage and headed for the villa.
The distance from the Bermakan mansion to the villa is not that far. Both are located in what is considered as the luxury residential area.
After turning the road twice, the arrival signal came from outside the carriage.
When I got off the carriage, the servants in the villa were already waiting in line. Since it was my first visit in a long time, I was greeted by a fairly large crowd.
I don’t think it’s just my imagination that the number of people working seems to have increased.
A middle-aged woman who seemed to be the manager stepped forward and gave a short greeting, then briefly introduced the maids who were in charge of taking care of me today.
After the greetings were over, the maids began leading the way without me having to say anything. They’ve been told in advance which room I want to visit first.
The maids who served as guides were new faces, but they had the appearance that was well within my strike zone. Their bodies also had well-balanced curves. I don’t know who is directing it, but I would say that they picked quite well.
While fantasizing about having sex with the maids, we passed through the gate of the villa and proceeded down the long corridor. When the content of the play in the brain shifted from fellatio to missionary position, they stopped and knocked lightly on the door of the room.
The maids, who seemingly had a conversation with the person waiting in the room only by knocking, decided that we could enter the room. Here we are, she said to me as she opened the door.
In that private room, the person I was looking for was waiting.
[Mimon.]
She was sitting on the sofa, knitting something.
Since it’s still in the making, I couldn’t tell what she’s making. An object that looked like nothing more than a tablecloth was placed on her lap.
[Hmm… Oh, Wilk-sama. It’s been a while.]
I raised one hand at Mimon, who was about to stand up, and indicated that it’s fine for her to remain seated.
I wondered if the maid suggested that she should call me by name instead.
[I miss you. Are you having any troubles?]
I sat next to her as she put away her knitting set.
[No, not at all. My needs are well taken care of.]
[Is that so? It would be nice if that was the case… Do you have any concerns?]
I was satisfied with her attitude as she approached me without hesitation.
I put my hand around her shoulder and felt the softness of her mature woman’s body with my whole body.
[No need to worry. This is not the first time after all.]
[That’s true, but…]
A letter was sent to me around the end of my stay in Reisleaf Castle.
It was a report on Mimon’s pregnancy.
Rather than saying that she was pregnant, it would be more nuanced to say that she was actually pregnant. Because Mimon was living as usual even though she knew she was pregnant.
She acted so ordinarily that even the servants were at first unaware that such a thing had happened.
Compared to Minith, who worked as a maid at Newnelly Castle, Mimon is an ordinary citizen of Newnelly. I honestly thought that if she was wrong, she would be reprimanded.
In addition, she knew from her life experience that there were many miscarriages in the early stages of pregnancy. Therefore, she thought it would be better to report after it stabilized to some extent. As a result, it was discovered too late.
For commoners, even though the other party are servants, those from the knight family are different people with different living environments and ways of thinking. There was also a part that I couldn’t help but feel scared.
After that, I received a report that the head maid, thinking this was a problem, increased the number of junior servants.
[Can I touch you?]
[Yes, of course.]
Even though it’s early spring, there are still many cold days. Perhaps she knew enough to keep her body warm, Mimon was wearing extra clothes. I couldn’t quite see the swelling of her stomach.
Considering the timing, it seems that there is a strong theory among the servants that she got pregnant when I casually visited Mimon’s house at the end of the year and had sex with her.
I put one hand on her plexus and slowly slid it down. Mimon’s belly, which should have been slightly dented, had turned into a gentle hill.
[It’s not very big yet. It’s about to start.]
Mimon already has four children and thus had a long history of experiencing pregnancy.
I wonder if it’s the kind of thing experienced people talk about, but I felt a lot of leeway in the way they spoke.
[I see. You’re quite used to it.]
Compared to Anna and Minith, she has a solid stance and feels very dependable.
I wonder if this is the difference between first childbirth and multiparous women, and it gave me the impression that she will give birth to my baby just fine.
Then, unexpectedly, Mimon brought up the topic.
[It’s more difficult for Minith than it is for me. She was feeling very lonely because she couldn’t see Wilk-sama. Please show up for her today.]
I didn’t think it would be a good idea to talk about another woman to a pregnant woman, but since the other side brought it up, I decided to answer honestly.
[…..Yeah, I’m going to go see her after this.]
After saying that, Mimon made a troubled face and continued.
[Umm, could you please keep it a secret that you came to my room first? I think it’ll bother her.]
[Do you okay with it?]
[It’s alright. Minith, she really loves Wilk-sama…]
It was, so to speak, a gentle tone of voice, like a mother rejoicing at her daughter’s first love.
From Mimon, I feel the same kind of peace of mind as Oddie. They trust me, they feel some sort of affection towards me, but the feeling of not being in love is similar. And most of their consciousness is directed towards the baby.
When I pointed that out, Mimon made an apologetic expression and nodded.
[After all, when I have a baby, I think about that first. Besides…]
The words were interrupted at that point, but I remained silent and waited for the continuation.
[…When I look at Minith, I feel like I can’t win against her youth. To that extent… I wonder if it’s even possible for me to fall in love with someone so much that it scares others…]
In short, it seems that Minith’s maiden-in-love attitude was too frightening and needs to be toned down a little.
I felt a little embarrassed to be thought of so much, but I’m honestly happy to hear that.
Well, being able to have a passionate love affair that burns your body to the ground is something of a privilege for teenagers. It may be natural to feel that Mimon cannot stand on the same playing field.
[I think Mimon is still young. If you’ve forgotten about it, don’t worry, I’ll remind you of your youth in bed after this baby is born.]
[Eh, aren’t we moving on too fast…?]
My words confused Mimon for a moment, and she immediately smiled a little. She seems to understand what I mean.
Even if intense love is not possible, it doesn’t matter if you can have intense sex.
Rather, it would be nice to have a gap between being a calm woman on a daily basis but very wild in bed.
Since I came all the way to see her, I decided to talk to Mimon some more.
I asked her about her life after moving to the villa, her worries after pregnancy, and if there is anything more she needs.
The servants in the corner of the room are listening tensely, probably because this is directly linked to the evaluation of their works.
Mimon hesitated to answer my questions, but it seemed that she was basically living a comfortable life.
Her mother and children are doing well, and she was simply happy that the hardships of life were gone.
For her family, instead of simple financial assistance, she asked for job placement and literacy education for her children. I want her to trust me a little more, but I guess she’s worried about herself being older than the other mistresses, so it can’t be helped.
The tension in her heart melted away as she continued to chat. When I asked if she had any requests again, she finally spoke as if she had made up her mind.
[…Actually, I have one request.]
[Tell me.]
[Umm… It’s about Eve-chan…]
So, Mimon started talking about her life with Eve as a prelude before going to the main topic.
It’s been the same since before, but since they moved to the villa, it seems that Mimon and Eve are getting along like a real parent and child.
I heard that Eve is enthusiastic about taking care of the pregnant Mimon and Minith.
[Eve is quite friendly. She seems to be on good terms with Minith…]
Even though she doesn’t really feel attached to me.
When I was in Reisleaf Castle, I occasionally received letters from Eve, but I hardly remember the contents.
What did you do today? I would like to meet you. What did you do today? How are you doing? It was like a letter written by an elementary school student. I’m sure she’s writing a letter to me because the servant told her to.
I feel like I can understand the feeling of being a homeroom teacher for elementary students.
It might be good to play in teacher-student situations later. But, she would probably hate me again for that.
[…..With Mimon aside, at first I thought she wouldn’t get along very well with Minith.]
I accidentally spilled that out of my mouth.
Unlike adult women like Mimon, Minith is a young girl for better or worse. I think there is jealousy even if you don’t say it.
I can’t really imagine how Minith would be relaxed looking at a super beautiful girl named Eve who was also her peers. On the other hand, I don’t think she’s the type to harass a love rival. I can imagine a future in which it develops into negative thoughts, and then she’ll get depressed more and more.
When Eve approached me with a smile on her face, I had a feeling that Minith would run away.
[Eve-chan is a very kind girl. It seems that she was worried about Minith, who was anxious about her first pregnancy, so she visited her room many times. Before I knew it, the two of them had become good friends.]
I thought that Eve would attract people around her because of her cute appearance, but from what I’ve heard, she seems to be quite socially active. Mimon described Eve as a lively and caring girl.
Come to think of it, she was actively taking care of the Lord-class babies who were recovered from Newnelly Field, so she may have been an active and bright girl from the beginning.
[Isn’t Minith pushing herself too hard? Eve is visiting her on a fairly regular basis, so if she’s reluctant to deal with her, or if she’s worrying about something like that…]
If that happened, one of the servants would scold Eve behind the scenes, but I was a little worried.
Minith may have her original personality, but she was educated as a maid at Newnelly Castle. I think she’ll end up thinking, [Eve is an important person to Young Master, so I have to put up with it].
However, while I was about to say that, Mimon strongly denied that concern.
[They are fine. After talking with Eve-chan, I can see that Minith’s heart has calmed down. It’s thanks to Eve-chan who stood in between us that we became friends.]
It is said that on the day when Mimon entered the villa, she visited Minith’s room, as the latter would be her senior.
It seems that there are rumors among the citizens that the mistresses of the nobility spend their days in insidious harassment over their master’s favor. This is not a story limited to the Quordenze territory, it is the kind that naturally occurs in any territory.
Naturally, a commoner like Mimon would be aware of that gossip. So, just in case, she went to greet Minith, who became my mistress before her, and also a former maid, who would have a good relationship with the servants.
It seems that Mimon left the room immediately after having a nonchalant conversation, but at that moment Minith’s intention and atmosphere of [I don’t want to see you again] came through.
As a result, Mimon didn’t deliberately avoid Minith, but she dared not get involved with Minith.
[…..I was also lacking in thought. I think I would feel bad if the other…other people came to me.]
Her words were vague, but I think she was referring to my other mistresses.
I can guess why Minith didn’t like it.
She was insecure about her own appearance. I guess she used to have a certain amount of confidence because she managed to become a low-ranking servant in the castle. However, only selected beautiful women can become a maid in the castle.
An image of salt daifuku-chan, who had a smug look on her face, getting her confidence shattered as she saw the colorful confectioneries lined up in the storefront came to mind.
However, I liked how she was naive, energetic, and serious about her work.
And she knows that her appearance is cute enough to be called the most beautiful girl in the village. But, she doesn’t think she can be number one in the city.
A beautiful cake is delicious, but salt daifuku is just delicious salt daifuku. However, it is not very comforting for the salt daifuku herself.
On another hand, Mimon is beautiful. Moreover, she is a woman with a mature sex appeal that the current Minith does not have.
While she was worried about his first pregnancy, if such a beautiful woman came to the villa as another of my mistresses, she would probably become emotionally unstable.
Thinking about it, not bringing Koharii to the villa today was the correct answer.
Koharii is the typical beauty that the people of the Eruo continent think of. In my sense, she’s a cute girl, but with that beautiful silver hair, well-proportioned body, and graceful bearing, she should be considered as a beauty to the people of the Eruo continent.
Because they’re so close in age, it seems like Minith would faint if she sees Koharii. …..When I imagined Minith sulking in the corner of the room, it was so cute that it calmed me down a bit.
In any case, if Koharii sees Eve, I wouldn’t know when or where Raeve’s story would pop up, so there was really no option to bring her.
If Eve, who has a mysterious ability to communicate, is left alone, it seems that she will become friends with Koharii before I know it.
[……I feel the same way, but when I talk with Eve-chan, I feel kindness.]
There was something about those words that made sense to me.
A flash of inspiration, as if the dots were connected to form a line, crossed my mind.
[You feel kindness? ……….So that’s it……..]
I always had doubts about Eve’s high communication skills.
I had first come to the conclusion that it’s easier for her to get along with others because she’s cute, but now I came up with another hypothesis.
A hypothesis based on what I discovered when I had sex with Raeve.
When I embraced Raeve in Nambonan City the other day, I received a favorable magical energy discharge and felt a deep affection from her.
The servants interviewed her, and it seems that in Raeve’s native village, the exchange of emotions through the release of mana is fairly common.
I’ve heard that deep affection is exchanged only between lovers, married couples, and parents and children, but is it really a magic technique that can’t be used for anything else?
I don’t think so. It’s used enough to sublimate magic power release as magic, so it should have a wider range of uses.
Raeve was free to control the strength of her emotional release of mana, and I think it wouldn’t be strange for her to have a custom of conveying light favors. And of course, Eve was also capable of directing her magic power to Mimon and Minith to convey that light favor…that was what I thought.
Eve had her magic sealed for a while after purchase, but due to various reasons, she has not been resealed again.
There is also the fact that it was troublesome to reseal Eve, who has a large amount of magical power, every time the seal expires.
Since Mimon and Minith do not have magical powers, they cannot understand that they are receiving magic release even if it’s in their favor, but somehow they still can sense the good feelings from Eve. That is what leads to the phrase, [I feel kindness].
If I had to give the hypothesis a title, it would be Eve, the Magical Lady Theory.
And assuming that this is true, I feel like I understand why Eve doesn’t like me at all.
I think the primary reason was how I forcibly committed multiple crimes against her, but it is possible that my intimidating her with magic power release was a big mistake.
It was just a pure magic power without emotion, but Eve at that time was trembling at the amount of magic power.
The release of too much magical power without any kindness…that might have been the worst form of communication for the Elves.
[Eve-chan doesn’t seem to bother Minith. They get along just fine, so don’t worry.]
[…..Alright.]
For the time being, let’s not think too deeply about the hypothesis. It’s a bit late for that now.
[So, what is your request? If it’s about Eve, wouldn’t it be better to invite the person herself?]
[…No, this is a request from me…]
In the first place, it seems that the most important Eve is going to the Pioneering Association in the morning.
I arrived early so she was absent from her room, but my visit to the villa was originally scheduled for the afternoon anyway. It seems that Eve went to work as usual, judging that there would be no problem if she returned by the afternoon.
[Then it’s fine. Let me hear it.]
Intending to listen, I caught her waist and facing Mimon from the front.
Then, she took a deep breath, perhaps nervous, and then said.
[I want you to take Eve-chan to the Royal Capital.]
