Chapter 21 – A New Awakening?
After finishing the city-building stuff, we finally escaped from the Aquamarine Kingdom. Bella-san and Flora-san also made it safely… to meet us at the Chateau, and it looks like we’ll be able to spend some relaxing and free time for a while.
“Whew!”
On the deck of the Chateau, I puffed on purple smoke and drank a cup of coffee while looking out at the sea.
Coffee on a luxury liner is delicious, but at times like this, the canned coffee I stocked up on during the ferry ride does the trick.
Leaning against the railing of the ship’s edge, I relax and enjoy a blissful time, remembering my busy days.
Just the thought of not having to look at paperwork for a while fills me with joy.
I also have a good idea of how I can continue to spend my charitable expenses.
I feel that my shoulders are much lighter now that most of the charitable expenses that should not be debt but had the pressure of being practically like a debt are almost gone.
“Ahh… It’s a blessing.”
The happy words came out involuntarily as I relaxed my whole body and leaned against the fence.
It has been a week since I escaped from the Aquamarine Kingdom, but I still feel happy, which means that the days in the Aquamarine Kingdom must have been stressful for me as a soft person.
Now that I think about it, what happened to the souvenirs I gave to the masters of the various guilds and the people in charge of the construction work just before I escaped?
I gave them quite a bit, and they’ll all enjoy it to the fullest… to the point where they’ll suffer when it’s gone.
It was punishment for sending me to paperwork hell after I had invested a lot of money and asked for the whole thing to be thrown at them.
It’s a little revenge that Ines found amusing, and Alessia-san told me it was not to her taste, but it has a proper purpose other than revenge.
If I give the luxury liner items to the powers that be, the next time I visit the Aquamarine Kingdom, I will be bombarded with requests for more booze, beauty products, food, sweets, and useful stationery.
That would indeed be a nuisance.
In the past, I would have carefully selected items that I could hide, or that would not cause too much of a stir and brought them back as souvenirs.
This time, however, I was being generous. I went overboard.
All to show the bloodless bastards who had sent me to paperwork hell the glory of luxury liner items.
The next time I visit the Aquamarine Kingdom, I am sure I will be thrown back into the hell of paperwork due to the progress of city construction and so on.
At that time, the luxury liner items would be a powerful bribe.
In exchange for the bribe, I can get a reduction in paperwork and time off, and in return, I can make the bribe-hungry rulers and people in charge of the practical affairs of the city work like cart horses.
I would have liked to give some of my gifts to the Lord of Finance, the Lord of Commerce, and other royal court officials, but I was told that it would be a real hassle to deal with the state, and I had to be careful.
I wanted to see which would win out: the elites’ right decision to distance themselves from me or their greed.
“Oh, it’s Alessia-san and the others. Haha, they’re doing it with flair!”
While I was calmly thinking of something out of character, the Lutto arrived, unleashing their fancy magic and skills.
Wow, that attack must be Rimu or Claretta-san. That water attack must be Pent.
Flying slashes, fire, wind, and lightning were so spectacular that if it were night, I would have thought a parade was going on.
They are destroying the monsters gathered around the Chateau to raise Bella-san and Flora-san’s level. I wonder if they will be able to hit them properly in that situation.
Well, it seems like their level has increased quite a bit in the past few days, so they should be able to hit the target at least.
Well, the fact that the Lutto has come to this side means that it has circled the castle, and it will be back soon, so I should go back to my room.
It’s not bad to relax and enjoy my time alone, but it’s more fun to be with everyone else.
“Master. I’m thinking of playing in the pool afterward.”
As expected, Ines returned a little later and told me about her next plans.
A run on the Lutto and then the pool… Everyone’s in a good mood.
“Yes, I’m coming.”
I answered, holding Rimu in my arms, who jumped from Ines’ head to me with a pop and jumping up and down.
There is no reason for me not to go if the beautiful women are in bathing suits.
But still, Pent… Is it my imagination?
“All right. Then let’s meet at the pool in half an hour. I’ll be there to lead my mother and the others.”
“Got it. Oh, Ines. Are Bella-san and Flora-san having a good time? Are there any problems?”
I talk to them at the table and sometimes play with them, but it would be difficult for them to complain to me, their employer.
In this respect, it is easier to talk to Ines, who is a member of the family and a close friend, and it is possible that they express their dissatisfaction to her in some way.
“I am the one who has the most problems because I have to deal with my mother and the others every day.”
Ines gave me an answer that was the opposite of what I wanted to hear.
“No, it’s only natural that Ines takes care of them because they are your family and your best friend.”
During this boat trip, Ines was supposed to support Bella-san and her family and Flora-san.
At the same time, Bella-san and Flora-san have a dedicated Saporabi assigned to them, so it shouldn’t be too strenuous, but it seems that… mental exhaustion is building up.
“…Could Master at least tell my mother that I don’t need to be taught housework or common sense?”
“Bella-san asked me to do this for Ines with a deep bow, so I can’t do more than that. If it were true, you would have been trained by Bella-san for the entire boat trip, so I think you should give up that much, don’t you?”
After boarding the Chateau and enjoying the beauty treatments and shopping, Bella-san began to prolong Ines’ education.
Ines was screaming and crying, and I convinced Bella-san to give it up.
I think it is a matter of gratitude that I reduced the time for Ines’ education on the basis that understanding the facilities aboard the Chateau would be useful for Bella-san’s work on the Castle, so she should enjoy herself and understand the facilities.
“No, looking at me so resentful won’t help. So, is there anything that Bella-san and Flora-san might have problems with?”
“Father and Dario are a little tired of being dragged around by Mom and Flora?”
Carlo-san and Dario-kun are a little tired?
“I understand. I’ll keep that in mind.”
The cause of their tiredness is hard for me to deal with, and the only thing I can do is to arrange a relaxing time for them by organizing a men’s party or some other reason.
After parting with Ines, I went to my room to change into my swimsuit.
It’s my own ship, so it’s very easy for me to move around without worrying about my surroundings.
“Hey, Felicia. Was Pent that big?”
Since I was only wearing beach shorts, I quickly finished changing and asked Felicia, who was changing in the next room, what I had wondered about earlier.
Pent looked like a giant snake when he was born, but when I looked at him again just now, he seemed to have grown a lot.
He is still curled up and resting on the carpet, but his size seems to have doubled.
“Pent is growing every day, you see?”
“Is there something wrong with that?” Felicia replies with that look.
I knew it.
I didn’t pay much attention to him because I was with him every day, but he’s grown considerably compared to the first time.
Originally, he was a baby sea serpent that would grow into a huge one, and I guess his growth rate is much faster than that of a slime Rimu.
Fortunately, he’s still thin now and doesn’t take up much space on the Lutto, but there may not be much time left to raise him on the ship.
There is still plenty of room on a luxury liner, but it will be difficult to take him anywhere else.
If he grows fast, I’d better think about Pent’s future as well.
“Master. It’s almost time to go, so let’s go to the pool.”
Felicia changed into a swimsuit and came out wearing a pure white bikini that stood out against her wonderfully proportioned and tanned skin… It is a feast for the eyes.
“U-um, yes. Let’s go then. Rimu, Pent, let’s go.”
Even though I should have known a more naked Felicia, just seeing Felicia in a bathing suit makes me extremely nervous.
I have fallen into another world and gone through many hardships, but just being with Felicia is a plus! Please forgive my heartless son for thinking about it.
“Ara, Wataru-san. Hello. Ines told me that sliding down that tube-like thing is fun. Is it true?”
“Oh, yes! I think it’s definitely fun!”
I joined Ines and the others at the pool, nervous like a virgin.
It was a deep red bikini that was so tight… it was bad.
After enjoying Ines, Felicia, Alessia-san, and the others from Girasole, and even the goddesses in their swimsuits, I can’t believe I’m nervous…
…I don’t want to be rude, but if we compare the beauty of Ines and the others and Alessia-san and the others, the goddesses are probably better than them.
But Bella-san’s sex appeal is dangerous in a different way from Ilma-san and the God of Gastronomy-sama.
She has a charm that is different from Ines and the other goddesses.
Yes, she is a married woman and a mother.
Bella-san was originally the mother of Ines, a wonderfully beautiful woman and also a beautiful witch.
This has been polished by the beauty products and beauty treatments on the luxury liner, and her charm has exploded with the rejuvenating effects of leveling up.
In other words, despite her youthful appearance, she combines the dangerous charm of a married woman with the receptiveness of a mother, and because of this, her family is in the midst of a catastrophe, and like a Showa-era ecchi video, as an apartment complex wife, what a fly-away with the rice dealer, and the universe goes big bang. [T/n: I’m not really sure about this.]
“Whoa.”
Suddenly, my body is pulled, and I let out a pitiful scream.
“(Hey Master, your eyes are rolling around, are you okay? Could it be that you got excited by my mother?)”
“(…N-no, that’s not true, you know?)”
This is bad. I was so confused that Ines was worried.
No, I’m a man who wants to be taciturn, not open.
Calm down, calm down, me. If I cultivate the attributes of a married woman and a mature woman here, it will be irreversible.
Calm down. Even the tolerant Alessia-san and the others would indeed be drawn in if they were excited by Ines’ mother. If that happens, the ambitions of my harem will go up in smoke.
Stop it, Bella-san. Would that swimsuit be too conspicuous for an aunt? Don’t strike sexy poses like that.
My sexual preference will be ruined!
