Chapter 3 – Differences Between Men and Women
I invited Ines’ family and Flora-san to stay at the Chris. I had planned to surprise them with the size of the Chris and further surprise them with the presence of the Saporabi, but it was beyond calculation that Flora-san would want to live at the Chris just because of the presence of the Saporabi. I wish she had checked out more of the other facilities.
“Well then, it’s time for us to move on. First, let me show you the room you will be staying in.”
Dario-kun and Ines’ father seem to be bored, so let’s change the place so they can settle down. As I call them and start to leave, I hear happy voices behind me. I look behind me and see Bella-san and Flora-san walking, holding hands with Saporabi from both sides. They have big smiles on their faces.
I’ve seen the same thing at the Castle with the wives and daughters of the nobility. It seems that women, whether they are nobles or commoners, act the same way in front of Saporabi. Let’s hope they don’t start saying they’ll take them with them when they leave.

“Um… are you sure this is the right room?”
“Yes. Please use this room!”
“I want this room too!”
Ines’ father and Dario-kun replied, standing up straight as if they were military men.
“I understand. There are enough rooms available, so do you mind if each of you gets a room?”
“No, we can share the same room!”
“No, that’s fine!”
“Is that so…?”
At first, I thought about giving up our room, but Ines said they would be afraid to go that far, so I showed them a room one ranked down.
Even though it was one rank down, it was a room in a style not seen in this world, and yet it was a first-class room on a luxury liner. Bella-san and Flora-san were overjoyed and asked Ines how to use the facilities in their room.
As I nodded in satisfaction at Bella-san and Flora-san’s joy, as expected from the Chris, Ines’ father and Dario-kun, who were gaping, came over to talk to me. They said they were too scared to sleep in such a luxurious room! And…
I explained that it was a special ship and no matter how dirty it got, it would be clean, and nothing would break, but the father and son refused, shaking their heads from side to side. They had heard from Ines that they would be staying in a luxurious room, but it was more than they had imagined, and they were scared. I feel like this has happened before.
They started to say that they would be happy to take a room for an employee, but I told them that was actually a problem for me as a host, and as we looked at the rooms, going from top to bottom, they liked the cheapest room, a double room, very much.
I thought they could stay in a room with a little higher rank, but they seemed to have lost heart when they saw the top-class room for the first time, and they wanted a room with an environment similar to their own home if only a little. It was a great opportunity for them, but I feel like it’s a real disappointment.
“It’s pathetic that after Wataru-san went to the trouble of arranging a good room for you.”
“H-hmm. The room is just right for someone like me. Even if you get lonely and ask me to stay over, I won’t. It’s not too late.”
Bella-san bragged that Ines’s father was pathetic, and Ines’s father finally invited Bella-san to stay with him. I thought he sounded scary, but he seemed kind of friendly. I started to smile at him, like the way he was depressed when Bella-san rejected him so easily.
By the way, Bella-san and Flora-san decided to use the first room I showed them together. I told them they could have one room per person, but they said they preferred the same room because they were comfortable and said that women would make a lot of noise together. I promised them that I would send Ines for the night, so it would probably be a lot of fun.
“Well, anyway, now that you have a room, do you want to take a break?”
“No, we only have four days, so we don’t have time to rest. Wataru-san. If it’s not too much trouble, could you please show us the rest of the tour?”
Bella-san replied without pausing, as if not wanting to waste a second of her time, even though four days would be enough to enjoy herself. It is similar to the pattern of Japanese people who fill their schedules to the limit when they go on a trip.
Flora-san nodded her head, so she agreed with Bella-san, and Dario-kun and Ines’ father gave off the vibe that they wanted to take some time off. Hmm, it’s a bad idea to have these two groups working together. I can imagine that after a few hours, the two of them will be exhausted from mental fatigue. That would be…
“Well, shall we divide into two groups, the women’s group and the men’s group? Ines and Felicia can take Bella-san and Flora-san to the beauty clinic. The rest of you can relax here. Oh, and what about you, Alessia-san?”
Bella-san and Flora-san shouted with joy when they heard about the beauty clinic. Ines seemed to brag about it a lot, so it would be better for them to experience it as soon as possible.
“When you’re on the ship, you won’t need an escort, and we’ll go with Ines and the others.”
She gives me a look that says, “Go have some fun with the men.” They seem to have taken care of me. Well, there is the question of whether it is possible to be friendly with my slave family, but I’ll put that aside for now, and it would be nice to have some fun with the men.
“Then please do so.”
The women’s activities were decided, so I appointed Ines and Ilma-san as the staff of the beauty clinic and left them in charge. It seems that Ilma-san will treat Flora-san and Ines will treat Bella-san, but I’m worried about Ines’ evil look.
Isn’t it strange that she’s going to run for her mother’s treatment? Maybe she is planning to play a prank on her mother at the beauty clinic to avenge the lecture? Maybe I was too hasty in appointing Ines to the staff.
I look anxiously at the women who are leaving with shy smiles on their faces and then turn to Dario-kun and his father, who look a little relieved.
By the way, I still don’t know the name of Ines’ father. Is it okay if I ask him now? I feel like I should just leave it at that, but I guess I can’t keep calling him Ines’ father without knowing it.
“Um, I’m sorry to ask this now, but do you mind if I ask you your name?”
“Oh, well, I haven’t told you my name for several reasons. I am sorry. My name is Carlo.”
Carlo-san looks at me with a faraway look in his eyes when he says several reasons. He must have remembered the reason why Ines became my slave.
“Carlo-san, right? Nice to meet you.”
I finish the greeting as safely as I can, trying not to worry too much because if I say something unnecessary, Carlo-san’s consciousness might be tainted with sadness.
“What shall we do now? I think shopping is better when the ladies are around, so shall I take you to a place on the ship where you can have fun?”
What I really meant was that it would be dangerous to go shopping without the company of women. Normally, it would be dangerous to go alone in a special situation like this.
“I’m interested in a place where we can play, but right now, I need to take a little break in the room. And if possible, could you show me how to use the room again?”
Carlo-san and Dario-kun looked at each other and nodded, then asked for a break. The exact opposite of the active ladies.
“I understand. Shall we go to the room?”
“Um, Wataru-san. Is it really free?”
When I went into the room and explained again how to use the facilities, they sipped their drinks as I explained about the room service. They were surprised by the electricity, monitors, and many other things, but they quickly changed.
Well, I guess that must be the most important part for Carlo-san because he was happy to hear Ines say that there were many delicious drinks. Father and daughter are just alike.
“Yes. Some of the drinks cost money, but all the drinks without a price tag are free. Would you like to try some?”
“No, it’s not even noon yet; we can’t have alcohol.”
Carlo-san said no, but he still seemed to be in the mood for more. Well, I don’t know about drinking alcohol in the morning, but Carlo-san and Dario-kun are both a bit nervous, and I think it would be better to drink lightly so that they can relax and enjoy the Chris.
“Strong alcohol might be a problem, but a little weak alcohol won’t be a problem.”
“Is that so? …That’s right. As long as it’s a weak drink, no problem.”
He gave in easily.
“Well, let’s order, shall we? Um, Dario-kun, are you okay with alcohol?”
“I like to drink. I drink a lot with my father and my colleagues in the guild.”
In Japan, he may not be old enough to drink, but in this world, he seems to be okay with it. Then, let’s deepen our relationship through drinking. I will accept a little of their complaint about Ines.

Ines’ PoV
“I see that this is the beauty clinic. The interior of this ship is beautiful and full of wonders, but this one in particular has so many unusual things!”
“Hmm. Here, you can make your skin smooth like Ines’!”
Both Mom and Flora frolic like children. It’s embarrassing to see my own mother, who is now of age, frolicking, but the more she frolics here, the more vulnerable she will be. I guess I’ll just leave it at that.
No, let’s stir things up. If she makes memories that are embarrassing to recall, I will certainly be able to fight back when she lectures me. I remember when Master said that embarrassing memories are black history. I’ll make black history for my mother.
“Yes, you will look different the first time you do it. And I’ve heard that it not only makes your skin smooth but also helps with swelling, sagging, wrinkles, etc.”
Well, I’m young, and I exercise a lot, so sagging and wrinkles don’t bother me, but for a mother who is suffering from age-related deterioration, this is a great benefit. I know she’s worried about her wrinkles.
“Ines-chan. Is what you just said true?”
Her eyes have changed color, as I expected.
“Yes, it’s true.”
No one on this ship has sagging or wrinkled skin, but it was a big hit on the Castle. If it works on those people, it must work on my mother, who is still quite young.
“Let’s get started. Tell me what to do.”
I left Flora to Ilma and led Mom, who had a straight face, to the treatment table. Fufu, leave everything to your lovely daughter. I’m going to make you perfect as a beautician. And then you’ll be buoyed by the effects and create black history.
