Chapter 6 – Corpse
Bella-san had a great makeover, and Carlo-san was drunk and exposed his shame. Flora-san was beautiful, to begin with, but she became even more polished and beautiful with the beauty treatments and beauty products from the Chris. Dario-kun soberly supports Ines and their parents, and he has a pretty hard time. The result is…
“I can’t… do it anymore…”
“Ines. Uh, tomorrow is the last day, so let’s just hang in there, okay?”
As a result, Ines lay on the bed like a corpse, staring into the distance with the eyes of a dead fish, mumbling in a lethargic voice without a trace of motivation.
Felicia, perhaps feeling sorry for Ines, tried to encourage her, but it had no effect at all.
Well, that can’t be helped. Ines’ family and Flora-san have been doing great from the moment they arrived on the Chris until today.
Ines’ family was surprised by the variety of food and impressed by the variety of drinks, and she didn’t want to keep accompanying them and reassuring them endlessly. It’s a mental thing to see your relatives and best friends in a way you don’t want to see them.
My relationship with Ines and I is that of master and slave, so I have to be reserved with her family, Bella-san and Flora-san, too.
Therefore, I thought that if I and Alessia-san and the others stayed together, they would not be able to enjoy the luxury liner, so from the second day, I, Felicia, Alessia-san, and the others kept our distance so that Ines and her family could spend as much time alone as possible, and this turned out to be a tragedy.
As expected, Ines did not want us to see her family and friends embarrassed, and she tried her best, worked hard, and broke down on her own.
When I think about it, it is a bit of mental torture to see my own parents in such a state. I’d rather not see my own parents fooling around like children, if possible.
Bella-san and Flora-san as they look at the products in the cosmetics store.
Bella-san, Flora-san, and Dario-kun let their spirits soar at desserts and sweets they have never had before.
Bella-san and Flora-san are confused by the fashion on the Chris, which is so different from the fashion in the Aquamarine Kingdom.
Bella-san and Flora-san’s souls are obliterated by the delicate workmanship, beautifully cut gems, and prices at the jewelry store.
At the liquor store, Carlo-san is overwhelmed, frolicking like a child and begging to drink all the liquor.
Carlo-san is unable to buy a large amount of alcohol with the allowance he receives, and the devil tempts him to throw away all his money at the casino. A fight breaks out between father and daughter.
…With so many other things going on, it’s no wonder that Ines is like a corpse. I heard that Bella-san and her family and Flora-san spent all the money they brought with them…
“I don’t want it anymore… I’m tired of it… Why only me…”
“They’re so happy to see you after so long. That’s why they spoil Ines.”
Felicia continues to encourage Ines by patting her on the head, but it’s going to take a lot more time. As for me, I feel more sorry for Dario-kun.
Even though he was interested in the luxury liner and his eyes lit up at the food and merchandise he had never seen before, I think Dario-kun, who was caught by his intense parents and had an enlightened look on his face, is the biggest victim. Ines mostly deserved it.
I’m inclined to give her some more rest, but there are some things we need to discuss, so it’s time for her to come back to life.
“…Wataru, play.”
I thought about it, but Rimu wants to play, so I’ll let her rest a little longer.
＊＊＊
“So, what should we do about Bella-san and Flora-san’s request? What does Ines want?”
After much communication with Rimu, I forced Ines to sit in the chair and begin the discussion.
On the agenda was the issue of Ines’ family and Flora-san’s employment at the castle. Flora-san was eager from the beginning, so I expected it, but Bella-san is also quite eager. She also asked me in detail about the benefits of working on the castle.
For my part, I’m grateful to have more trustworthy people at the castle, and I’m not at all hesitant to change the lives of Ines’ family and her best friend. But I would also welcome the addition of a beautiful woman, and I would like Flora-san to come.
Bella-san is a… beautiful woman, but she is a married woman, which is ethically dangerous. Bella-san’s sex appeal is different from Ilma-san’s sex appeal, which is ripe, forbidden fruit, and ruinous, so it’s a straight line to lawsuits. Especially me and the lecherous uncles who come to the Castle are in danger.
“…As for me, I’m happy that Flora-san is working on the Castle. But I don’t want my mom or dad to work on the Castle. As for Dario… I have no problem with him working on the Castle, but I’d rather he stay with our parents if at all possible.”
As for Ines, she only wants to hire Flora-san. Dario-kun is an excellent person, and I want him, but leaving his parents behind is not so subtle either.
“Speaking of which, will Flora-san’s family be okay? Won’t it be a problem if she leaves the country?”
“Flora can take care of that herself. She is a good girl. But I’m a little afraid that she might do something reckless when we take her on the boat trip.”
Anyway, I need more time. So this time we don’t have to decide every detail. Let’s just tell her how she will be treated and ask her to prepare and make a decision by the time we come to the Aquamarine Kingdom next time.
The question is, when we come back to the Aquamarine Kingdom, what should we do? …I’ll ask her if they can wait six months. If it looks like she can move, I can have Ines pick her up.
“Then we can give Flora-san some time to prepare, and if she’s willing to work, we can hire her in six months. Ines will talk to Bella-san and the others.”
“Huh? Why don’t you tell them yourself, Master?”
Ines is surprised, but there is no way I can convince Bella-san. She was quite determined.
“Ines… I probably couldn’t say no to Bella-san if she asked me.”
I said “probably” to sound vain, but in reality, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to say no. My armor is thinner than a piece of paper, which drives me crazy and makes me think of oyakodon.
But oh, stop nodding your head so easily because that would be sad, too. Apart from Ines, it’s quite hurtful when even Felicia nods her head in agreement.
“…Hah. I know. It’s my family, so I have to do my best.”
Ines gave up and looked very uncomfortable. I’m sorry, I have a weakness for beautiful women.
“Master. I’m sorry, but can you help me level up? My mother’s main reason for wanting to work on the Castle is to prolong our family’s life. Well, it’s still going to be hard to convince her since she’s still attached to the Chris’ establishment, but I think I can manage to convince her if we can just level her up. I’ll do my best to return the favor, so I hope you don’t mind.”
“Oh, that’s fine then. I told you that when you asked for my advice. If it is Ines’ family, I will cooperate without having to think about returning the favor. As for Flora-san, if she is willing to work, I don’t mind helping her raise her level.”
Of course, if Ines is willing to work hard, that would be very welcome. But I won’t tell her. Well, Ines is a reasonable person, but she has a sense of duty, so I expect her to do her best even if I don’t tell her.
“Thank you very much. I’ll talk to them about it then.”
“Yes. You can tell them that we will spend tomorrow’s day leveling up, and the next time we come to the Aquamarine Kingdom, if there is time, we will work hard together on leveling up.”
If we go out to the open sea together tomorrow, they’ll be able to quickly level up to a certain level. This time, it’s only one day because we’re busy, but next time, we can take a few days to raise their level to Camille-san’s level.
Ines nods emphatically and leaves the room. I think it’s a pretty good deal, but the fact that her steps are still heavy is probably because Bella-san really likes the luxury liner.
It looks like it’s going to take some time to convince them, so what should we do now? Rimu had a lot of fun earlier and fell asleep… so let’s take a bath with Felicia for now.
＊＊＊
“Wataru-san. I look forward to working with you today.”
Bella-san, Carlo-san, and Dario-kun bow deeply. Next to them, Ines cannot hide her tired expression. She must still be very tired from last night.
When Ines returned early in the morning, she told me that they talked until dawn. Although Bella-san was grateful for the help in raising the level, she said that as a parent, she was not convinced that Ines should be the only one forced to work so hard.
She said as a parent, but in the end, she just wants to go to the beauty clinic, Ines retorted! I was afraid of Ines, who was in a rage.
In the end, the decision was postponed because it was difficult to make a decision now because of work and family obligations. The next meeting is supposed to be in six months, but my guess is that in six months, they will even have finished preparing for the move.
Flora-san, who was in a good mood with a big smile on her face when she was offered a job at the Castle, said she was depressed about the six-month preparation period.
She said she said she would get everything done in a month, but in the end, it was decided in six months because we wouldn’t be there in a month.
“Yeah. Um, it’s not that big of a deal, so don’t worry about it. I guarantee you it’s safe, so let’s take it easy.”
“No, the level-up is really a valuable benefit for us. We will definitely repay you for your kindness.”
I still think the whole thing will be over in six months. I can see that Ines will be devastated by the shock in six months. I’m also in danger if I don’t build up my MILF tolerance in six months.
I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve managed to become wealthy and enjoy a victorious life in the other world, so I don’t want to be stabbed in the back for playing with fire.
“Haha, you’ll have to discuss that with Ines. Let’s have breakfast, and then we’ll go.”
Let’s switch from the Chris to the Lutto and first kill the monsters gathering around the Chris. The stockpile of stones collected from leveling up Rimu and the others is sufficient, so there should be no problem. Okay, let’s do it.
