Vol 14 Chapter 7
Here’s the chapter. Enjoy~
Chapter 7 – Does That Mean There’s a Chance?
I chose the promenade of the new luxury liner as our first stop for a stroll. I wanted to see the LED screens on the ceiling, and I wanted to see what kind of things they were selling. But my poor choice resulted in the first day of the tour of the new luxury liner ending with a shopping spree.
“So, Ines. Can you tell me about it now?”
To be honest, this question had been on my mind all day.
I had been so distracted by this question all day that I couldn’t even concentrate on the tour of the new luxury liner, or rather, my mind had been so consumed by the women’s shopping frenzy that I couldn’t concentrate on anything else.
“Uh-oh, what? Oh, maybe not. That’s disgusting…”
Ines, unaware of her master’s eagerness, drank wine with gusto and looked as if she might collapse at any moment.
“Eh, hey, Ines. Don’t sleep. Please, you said so during the day. If I go in strong, I’ll be able to win over Alessia-san and the others! Please tell me more!”
Ines, who was about to collapse on the sofa and fall asleep, was suddenly shaken awake.
“Ugh, I think I might throw up…”
“Ma-Master. I think it would be dangerous to ask Ines about sensitive female relationships right now… I think it would be better to bring it up tomorrow so you can get the story straight.”
.. Indeed, Felicia may be right. If I took the drunken nonsense to heart and sank to the bottom, I would be beyond miserable; I would just be a fool.
I realized I was an idiot this afternoon, so I don’t need to make the same mistake twice in one day.
“Thank you, Felicia. Maybe I was a little hasty. By the way, do you know anything about this Felicia?”
If Ines is unreliable, why not ask Felicia?
I just realized that I was asking the wrong person to rely on.
“I’m sorry, Master. I’m a country girl, and I’m not familiar with the subtleties of human nature, so I’m afraid I can’t help you in that area…”
It was not good. I don’t think there’s a causal relationship between country people and romance, but, well, with Felicia’s personality, it was probably a bit of an inappropriate question.
But I think Felicia, looking a little apologetic and embarrassed, is kind of sexy. Dark elves are hot, aren’t they?
“No, it’s okay. I’m sorry for asking such a difficult question. Yeah, sure, I can just ask the question tomorrow morning, right? Yes, I was in a bit of a hurry.”
In general, I made the wrong choice for dinner today. Well, it was Carla-san who chose it.
Even with my own eyes looking through the ship’s purchase screen, I had no idea that the Spanish restaurant was a place where one could enjoy a good glass of wine.
The food was a perfect match for the wine. What’s more, they are somewhat stylish and elegant.
Snacks like quality cured ham and a variety of bite-sized dishes served in small portions that went well with the wine. That’s right, the ladies must have had too much to drink.
Well, Carla-san, who chose this restaurant, was more interested in the paella than the wine. How many pan-sized paella dishes did she eat by herself?
Combined with what Rimu and the others ate, the paella pan formed a tower, so I am sure they ate an enormous amount of paella. I was a little taken aback by the fact that the paella pan was being treated like a conveyor belt sushi plate.
“More importantly, Master, this is a new luxury liner. And since we’re staying in the best room on it, wouldn’t it be better for us to enjoy that first?”
…That was it. I questioned Ines as soon as I entered the room, but usually, it’s best to enjoy the luxury of the room. It is a luxury liner, after all…
“Yes, you’re right. Let’s put Ines to bed and take a tour of the room first, shall we?”
“Yes.”
While Felicia nods with a smile, I leave Ines alone and check out the room.
………………
Spacious cabins. Elegant and high-quality furniture. Large balconies. And a bath with bubbles.
It’s wonderful. Yes, the Castle and the Chris have similar amenities, but the rooms are designed according to the ship’s clear concept and have a unique charm.
“There’s no doubt it’s a great room, isn’t it?”
“Yes. It’s definitely a great room.”
But I was used to it. I had become accustomed to luxury.
Yes, there is excitement in having a new room.
I was excited, and Felicia and I had a lot of fun.
But the first time, I got a luxury liner, the Castle. I was not as excited as I was when I walked into the best room.
Well, maybe that’s just as well.
I have stayed in the finest rooms on the Castle and the Chris and lived in them every day.
So, while there is excitement about the new rooms, there is also a familiarity because of the same class.
In other words, celebrities are not surprised by every price tag on luxury brands. I think I have reached that level of celebrity.
Well, I am still afraid of the price tag in the daytime brand stores, and I still feel more at home in a ferry cabin, which is the basic level of ordinary people.
But at least I’ve developed an unshakable spirit that won’t waver in the face of the best room on a luxury liner.
…What a waste. I wanted to feel more amazing; this room was amazing, and I wanted to feel like a commoner staying in a hotel that was luxurious and not worthy of my status.
Sigh… this is the nostalgia of a man who has made it to the top… It’s so empty.
“Oh, Master. The room service is quite amazing. I don’t know what it is, but it looks like you can order something called Neapolitan pizza. I’ve had pizza before, but is this Neapolitan pizza famous in your world?”
“Eh, seriously?”
Neapolitan pizza. I have heard of it. I’ve never had it, though… No, I’ve had stone oven pizza, but was that Neapolitan pizza?
I don’t know much about it, but just hearing “Neapolitan pizza” makes me feel like it’s something very delicious.
Oh, no. I was trying to give off the feeling of a man who had made it to the top, but Neapolitan pizza wiped it all out.
“Felicia. I know we’re full, but I’d like to try it, so will you join me?”
Rimu and Pent are satisfied and off to bed, and the pizza is too heavy for one person.
“Yes. No problem.”
Okay, let’s order. The drink is… beer.
Pizza and wine may be fine, but I like beer.
After enjoying a delicious pizza with beer… I think I’ll take a bubble bath with Felicia.
Mufufufu, the Grandiosa life looks pretty fun.
Oh, it’s about time I gave this luxury liner a name.
***
“Now, Ines. It’s time for you to tell me about Alessia-san and the others. I’m pretty much at the end of my patience, you know?”
It was a long-awaited morning. Ines was finally back, and it was time to finally get some information.
“Hmm? Ines, what’s wrong?”
She seems to be looking terribly dismayed, but it’s just my imagination, isn’t it? It’s not possible to be stunned by a slave who leaves her master alone and gets drunk first, is it?
“No matter what’s wrong with you, what kind of nerve do you have to have a feast while I’m sleeping and then ask Felicia for so much that she can’t get up in the morning that she can’t stand it?”
I looked in the direction Ines was pointing and saw empty pizza plates lined up and beer bottles lying around. Felicia is lying on the bed in a state of disarray…
“…I got a little carried away last night…”
Because the Neapolitan pizza was much better than expected, unlike the pizza I usually eat, the taste of wheat is robust or exquisite, and combined with the excitement of a new room, my libido got excited too, or how can I say it…
“Um, that’s not the same as this. Please tell me, I’m just curious.”
“…It’s expensive, okay?”
“…Please.”
I’ll pay whatever it costs!
“Okay, I understand. Then the first thing you have to do, Master, is to be aware.”
“Be aware?”
“That’s right, be aware. You do realize that life on a luxury liner is one of the best in the world, or even better than the best in the world, don’t you?”
“Yes, of course.”
Absolutely. I’m aware of it to the extent that I think that’s all there is to it.
“Of course, you are aware of that, aren’t you? The next question is this: You are not aware of the fact that Alessia and the others like you very much, are you, Master? You must be thinking that there is no way that a group of beautiful women like them thinks of you or something like that. That’s why you are so preoccupied with Alessia and the others’ bodies that you are completely oblivious to their feelings for you.”
“What… did you say…?”
Eh? Does that mean I’m an insensitive protagonist? I’m well-liked?
“Master could have made Alessia and the others give up their bodies when you saved their hometowns. Alessia and the others were prepared for that, and they were fine with it.”
Ah, um, that’s when I screwed up. I remember I freaked out and settled for money.
“We had a lot of adventures together, got a lot of treasure, and solved the financial problems, but they still wouldn’t leave you, right?”
“Yes.”
Well, there is no reason why they haven’t been able to redeem all of their money, but they have solved their financial problems, haven’t they?
“They’re making a normal, unprotected appearance in their daily lives, aren’t they?”
“Yes.”
It’s very eye-opening. I always do my best to burn it into my memory. It’s vulgar, but it keeps me horny.
“They told you to call them by their first name, didn’t they?”
“Yes.”
I still can’t get used to it, though, and inwardly, I still give them honorific titles.
“They are usually spoiling you, aren’t they?”
“Eh?”
I don’t remember such a nice event, though.
“They take you shopping, to the beauty salon, to the movies, to the crane game, and so many other things!”
Eh? Is that spoiling? Isn’t that the noble selfishness of beautiful women? I’m happy about it, but I don’t think it’s the same as being spoiled.
“You have a face that thinks it’s just selfishness.”
Exactly.
“Huh. It’s true that they are taking advantage of you, and they are being selfish, but they are trying to close the distance between you. It’s because Master is always focusing on their breasts and asses instead of looking at Alessia and the others. And yet, since there is no change, they are getting more and more extreme. Well, they’re measuring you to see how far you’re willing to go.”
It’s that body. I don’t think it’s a good idea to draw attention to their breasts and buttocks.
“…So you’re saying that Alessia-san and the others are in love with me, and if I confess to them, it’s okay?”
A harem? The completion of a dream harem?
“Huh? That can’t be true. I mean, they like you, but it’s not easy to fall in love with a man who has two slaves around him and who gives them dirty looks at all hours of the day and night.”
“Then it’s impossible!”
What’s up with that “up and down” game? I was so excited. And now my heart is shattered! No reward for breach of contract!
“Oh, Master is so bad. Even with such a dirty look at them, they still like you, don’t they? Then, don’t you think it’s a manageable situation if you go pushing it seriously again? Are you trying to waste the miracle of Master being seen in so many pathetic ways and still being so agreeable?”
Huh? Is this a love story? Am I being disrespectful? What am I supposed to do anyway? If I stop the dirty looks, will I have a chance? I mean, is it a miracle that I’m in this situation?
