Chapter 5-14 (Temporary) Martial Arts Tournament in Royal Capital - Appreciation for Shiro -

 “So you're implying that the only reason I looked down is because Iris was sitting on my lap?”

“Yes......”

"You said you were jealous."

“Yes......."

"And you're not sure what you're feeling."

"Yes......"

 

I'm in the middle of lecturing Shiro right now.

But, after listening carefully to what she had to say.

The reason is that she was about to use force against Iris when she tried to pull her off my lap.

 

After that, Iris went back to the king with Sparrier-sama, while Hayato and I went back home, completely exhausted.

When we arrived at Hayato's house, Chris, Wendy, and I cooked a meal for Shiro, and I cooked her a lot of meat, which she loves, to help her get through the qualifying round.

Afterwards, we took a bath to wash away Shiro's fatigue and dirt, and then gathered in my room to have a good talk.

 

“Isn't that enough? Even Lord didn't see the moment Shiro won, did you?”

"Ugu...... well, well.”

 

That being said, I'm weak.

Well, Shiro didn't tell me to watch her, but I missed it even though Shiro was so active .......

And I don't think Shiro really wanted to attack Iris either.

If she did, the shinobi guarding Iris would have been on the move by now, and I believe that only Shiro would not have harmed her on purpose.

 

“It's our match tomorrow, so don't tell me you aren't watching or something?”

"That's right! I want you to watch it!

“I know. ....... But I'll still have the two of them on my lap tomorrow......?”

 

Yes. It is already decided that tomorrow I will sit like that.

For some reason, an appointment had been made for today.

However today, Shiro did a good job and seemed to have become good friends with Iris, so she read the situation and decided to go along with the flow.

 

“Lord, you're popular.”

“Aina_......, being popular with little girls doesn't make me happy.”

"But you seem happy about it."

“Well, I've had an easier relationship with the powerful ones compared to Hayato.”

"Well, I guess I'll just leave it at that."

 

I'm just not a lolicon enough to be happy about being liked by a little girl.

Although I think it's nice to be liked by people.

Since I came to this world, I've gotten to know too many people, including beautiful women, haven't I?

Perhaps it's a benefit of being a drifter?

Well, it's mostly thanks to Hayato, too.

 

"Come on, we've got an early day tomorrow."

"Let's go to bed."

"He got away."

"He ran away."

"He's running away."

"You ran away."

 

No, I didn't!

 

"Yes! Lord!”

“Yes, Shiro!”

 

Shiro raises her hand straight up, so I prick my finger and allow her to make her statement.

 

“Shiro worked hard today, and as a reward, I want to sleep with you!"

 

Hmmm......... Well, okay.

There's nothing wrong with at least sleeping together as an apology for not being able to watch her today.

 

"Then let's do it."

"Hmm!”

“Woo ......, I envy her......”

“Don't worry, Renge. As long as we work hard tomorrow, I'm sure we'll be fine."

“Yeah. Let's do our best."

 

The three of them are saying something, but if I were to sleep with the three of them, I would like to do so after returning to Einsheil.

The beds here are not bad, but if the four of us are going to sleep together, it would be more convenient to have a large bed at home.

But still, Wendy didn't say anything.

The first time I looked at Wendy, our eyes met and she smiled at me.

 

“Today Shiro did her best”

 

She seemed to have read my intention and answered my questions ahead of time.

 

“Are you sure? You were cooperating, right?”

"This time it's the result of Shiro's hard work. Besides, you will be treated well when we get back to Einsheil."

 

I know what she means by “I'm going to be loved” and of course I'm happy to accept it because it's exactly what I want.

So today, Shiro and I are going to sleep together.

 

When Shiro and I were alone in the room, I poured a glass of water from the jug, drank it, and then we went to bed together.

 

"Then I turn off the light."

“Nope.”

 

The magic lamp is turned off, and there is no more light in the dark room except for the moonlight.

Shiro initially lies on my side, but soon gets on my stomach and chest area.

 

“Shiro, hot, and heavy ......”

“Shiro is warm, and Shiro should be light:......”

 

I had no choice but to get up and set up a fan in a distant place.

There is no timer for this, but I know how long it will last with the amount of magic power I pour into it, so I set it to provide a gentle breeze for an hour or so.

As for the weight, it's actually on the light side, so I'll just put up with it.

 

“Lord, comeback quickly.”

“Yes, yes.”

 

As soon as Shiro urged me to go back to bed, she was on top of me.

 

"......Lord, Shiro did a good job today."

 

After a short silence, White began to speak.

 

"Right. Sorry I didn't see that last one. ......”

“No, it's fine. Shiro hid it too, so it's okay. But I want you to watch me better next time."

"But don't do anything too dangerous. ...... If you think there's any danger at all, you can always give up, okay?”

"Is that a joke?"

"No, it's not. I'm worried about you."

“Nn...... got it. Okay, pat me on the head?"

“Just my head?”

"Nn...... then I want you to hug me."

"Okay."

"Hmm, Shiro's privilege.”

 

I hold Shiro in my arms, supporting her with one hand so she doesn't fall, and pat her head lightly.

Shiro folds her ears and closes her eyes happily so that I can stroke her easily, in a different way than when she was drooping in depression.

Then, she fell asleep on my chest as a pillow with little sleepy sounds.

I'm tired from all the things I've been through today, so I gently close my eyes and go to sleep.

But I couldn't move because Shiro had tightened her grip on the clothes on the arm I was holding her in.

 

 

When I woke up the next morning, Shiro was still on top of me.

My arms had changed to hold her against my chest, which was the cause of my being unable to move.

I rubbed my eyes with my free hand, gradually waking up my still sleepy thoughts.

The sun was beginning to shine brilliantly, so it must have been quite some time.

 

"Shiro, it's time to get up."

"I'm almost done. ......"

"We won't have time for breakfast."

In a few minutes, Lord will hold Shiro in his ...... arms."

"What are you dreaming about? Wake up!"

“...... mwah. You woke me up in the best part ......."

"Hah, damn. My body's creaking from having my arm taken all night. ......"

“Oh, no, Lord, don't poke me.”

“Let's make sure we get the side right .......”

 

I poked her in the armpit with my finger to see if she was ticklish, and she let go of my arm which she was hugging me with.

I turned my stiff shoulders and heard a cracking sound.

I'm sorry to say this, but I think I should take a bath and unwind once in the morning......

 

“Lord, where are you going?”

"I'm going to take a bath. My shoulders are stiff, so I thought I'd warm them up."

"Well, I'm going to take a bath, too. My hair's a mess."

"I see. Then we'll go in together."

"Mm!"

 

I go to the bathroom with Shiro.

Since I had not called Wendy, I would have to get water out of the tap, but it was late.

So I decided to release the water I had stored in my magic space for emergency use.

It is also convenient to be able to store a large amount of water separately from foodstuffs and alchemical materials in the magic space, which is divided by number.

 

In no time at all, the bathtub was filled with water, and when the fire magic stone was placed in an iron basket and submerged in the water, the water gradually warmed up.

Since the water was not boiled, it reached the proper temperature in a short time by increasing the amount of magical power.

Then, I decided to take a luxurious and relaxing bath in the morning with Shiro.

 

 

“Oh, you're late, did you take a bath?”

“Well, my body was sore. ...... Hayato, I've been taking a bath since this morning.”

“I don't mind, but we don't have much time to spare, do we?”

"Seriously, I'll have my breakfast over there......"

 

When I went to the living room, I found Hayato and the others and Solte were having after-meal tea, or rather, they were waiting for us.

Chris was making today's lunch.

Considering my condition today, she made mainly one-handed meals, and I am very grateful.

 

“I hope you didn't do something to Shiro that made your body ache.”

“Lord gave me a jiggle and Shiro got moan.”

"Don't say things that are meant to be misunderstood!"

"But it's true."

 

Obviously she did it on purpose!

I'm sure she was just saying that because my body was creaking and I poked Shiro in the side!

I don't think Solte is pulling back slightly from believing it either!

 

"...... Whatever, don't tell me you didn't get enough sleep during our game."

“I had a long night's sleep itself, and I'm refreshed after my morning bath, so I'm fine!”

"That's fine then. You should see us in action, right?”

“That's right! I'm in great shape and in high spirits today!"

“I rested well all day yesterday. Today I will do my best."

 

The three of them seem to have plenty of motivation and energy.

I can see that they are visibly on fire.

Of course I'll be there to cheer them on.

If I could cheer them on properly!

 

I finished talking with the three of them and sat down next to Hayato on the sofa, resting my elbows and arms on its backrest, and leaning my head against it.

 

"Hey, Hayato. ......"

"What is it?"

“Are they coming today too, that ......?”

"Yes,....... If Iris-sama is coming, Sparrier-sama is coming too. ......"

“......, let's do our best for each other.”

“If Itsuki-san can stop Iris-sama, then I can calmly watch the game. ......"

"You know it's impossible, don't you?"

"It's important to be careful when you say “no.” ......"

 

When I looked up and saw Hayato, he still seemed to be feeling the fatigue from yesterday.

It's tough being the one who has to pay attention to others.

After this, the tension was low until Chris's lunch was ready, and Hayato and I sighed the whole time.
