Chapter 8 – Was It Like This?
Had a great night in the best room on a new luxury liner. Delicious Neapolitan pizza and beer + beautiful women. And in the morning, despite the emotional damage, Ines gave me some romantic advice for Girasole? I also got some advice. From today on, I will be the new me!
“Good morning, everyone. The atmosphere in the room has changed. Did you sleep well?”
Breakfast time at the main restaurant in Grandiosa. There, I appeared fresh and was greeted briskly.
Normally, I’m usually dizzy with the charms of Alessia-san and the others, caught off guard by the calm of the morning, but not me today.
“Y-yeah, good morning Wataru? The new room is lovely, and I slept well.”
Fufu. Alessia-san’s eyes are wide open. Apparently, she is surprised at my freshness. It seems Ines’ advice was spot on.
I greet Dorothea-san and the others next, but they are all a little confused. As Ines said, they must have noticed my gaze. And since my gaze isn’t like that today, they are puzzled.
I have to reflect on my dirty mind.
Oh, Rimu popped out of my chest.
“…Meal…”
Rimu bouncing on the table. The thought of wanting to eat breakfast as soon as possible is appealing to me.
My body is about to start moving reflexively, but I calm it down with my spirit. Normally, I would be so excited by Rimu’s begging that I would quickly prepare breakfast, but today I am different.
I will prepare breakfast for Rimu as fast as possible without losing my freshness. And don’t forget to act like a gentleman.
Normally, each of us would have started eating as we pleased, but today was the first breakfast on this ship, so everyone was waiting for me.
Normally, I would be in a hurry to offer breakfast to everyone, but as a new person, I have to offer breakfast to everyone without being in a hurry.
“Well, everyone, I think it’s time for breakfast. Please enjoy your breakfast on the new luxury liner. Oh, excuse me. It’s hard to order as it is. Let’s summon Saporabi as well.”
I summoned Saporabi and started breakfast.
It seems that the main restaurant is mainly Mediterranean cuisine. Honestly speaking, what kind of food is Mediterranean food? But a man of ability will not panic. Let’s start with the obvious: salad, omelet, and bread.
Then, let’s have Rimu eat a lot of food while we eat slowly and check the dishes.
＊＊＊
Breakfast was delicious.
The bread was freshly baked, and the omelet was filling. And since this is Mediterranean cuisine, there were plenty of seafood dishes. I recommend the seafood salad.
Rimu and the others were also very pleased with the unusual food.
After everyone was satisfied with breakfast, it was time to get down to business.
I wanted to take them to the places we couldn’t visit yesterday and show them the new me.
“Well then, everyone. Now that breakfast is over, it’s time to get going. Leave the guidance to me. I’ll take you to some great places.”
“Ah, um… Wataru?”
“Alessia, is something wrong?”
“Are you not feeling well?”
What do you mean? Worrying about my health all of a sudden? Is it because I had too much fun last night, and the fatigue is showing on my face?
“Master, come here for a moment.”
Ines suddenly grabs me and forcibly pulls me away from Alessia-san and the others.
“Master, what are you trying to do?”
“What do you mean?”
What is this all of a sudden?
“I mean the way you acted this morning.”
Even I can understand when she says something like that. There must have been some mistake in my strategy. I was confident in my freshness, but did I make any other mistakes?
“I tried to present a fresh me, but did I make any mistakes?”
“Yes, to put it simply, it was weird.”
Please don’t say it in a simple way. It’s not that I made other mistakes; it’s just that I acted as fresh as I could, and that’s a very hard judgment for a human being, isn’t it?
“Master. It’s okay to be normal. You don’t have to think about being fresh or cool. Just normal. But not your normal. Normal in the world. Don’t put a lecherous expression on your face. When approached by a beautiful woman, a normal man would be embarrassed. Become that kind of ordinary man. Do you understand?”
…I feel like I’m being told some pretty terrible things.
But since Ines has a serious face, it must be serious advice. In other words, she seriously thinks my freshness is weird.
It’s a reality I didn’t want to know.
But I’m going to change my mind. I’ve decided that starting today, I’m going to start a harem with a fresh start. If I am asked to be normal, I will play the role of normal with great success!
…Huh? If I have to act normal, does that mean my normal is lower than the average person’s normal?
Oh, no. I have to work hard. If I don’t work hard, I’ll just become a rich pervert.
“I understand, Ines. I’ll be normal.”
“Yeah, go for it.”
Ines tugged at my sleeve to stop me as I was about to go back to Alessia-san and the others. Do you have any advice for me?
“I demand the promised reward.”
“Eh, now?”
Why do you have to demand the reward now? This is the part where Ines, unlike Felicia, is rather untrustworthy, isn’t it?
“Yes, now. If I don’t demand the reward now, my intuition whispers to me that I will remain without a reward.”
…It sounds as if the hunch is whispering something very annoying, but of course, it is the hunch of Ines, who fell into slavery because of a gamble in which the hunch was important. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.
“I understand.”
I hand her a small bag of silver coins that I have prepared as a reward. Just watch, Ines, and I’ll show you how great I really am.
＊＊＊
I started the tour of the luxury liner as a normal Wataru with a renewed spirit, but as time went on, the confusion disappeared from the faces of Alessia-san and the others.
Apparently, the really fresh me felt uncomfortable. I was shocked.
Oh well. Now, the real work begins.
“Wataru. What is it? What does it do? Whoa, the floor is slippery!”
Alessia-san showed interest in bowling… but no. Don’t get excited by the word slippery coming out of Alessia-san’s mouth.
Normal people shouldn’t get excited just because a beautiful woman says the word slippery… You wouldn’t get excited, would you?
Normal is surprisingly difficult.
“…Alessia, no. Don’t go in that line. Um, this is a place to play a game called bowling. Let me explain the rules, and we’ll play a little.”
………………
“I mean, it’s a game where you throw this ball and knock down those funny-shaped pins and stuff. I understand.”
Alessia-san, you sound so confident, but did you really understand it? Well, if you play, you’ll understand. The machine does the scoring for you, and the rules are not that difficult to understand.
Alessia-san and the others had some doubts about changing shoes, but I pushed them away, saying it was just bowling etiquette.
Since there were two lanes, we split into two groups and started the game.
“Then I’ll go first!”
Alessia-san takes the lead as the leader of the group. Even though it’s bowling, she’s very dignified.
Oh, no, wait, “Ah, Alessia, please wait!”
“Here I go!”
For some reason, Alessia-san swings at the ball as if she were pitching a baseball.
The bowling ball flies away with a roar.
Then, the bowling ball crashes into the wall above the pins.
“Ara, it missed. The ball is so light, it’s hard to aim.”
The ball Alessia-san threw was a 16-pound ball. It was the heaviest one.
“Don’t worry, Alessia. You still have one more throw left. You just have to fix it.”
No, that’s not it! Dorothea-san was analyzing calmly like a sub-leader, but she was wrong in the first place.
“I’m sorry. I’ll explain again.”
I didn’t explain well enough.
I didn’t expect her to feel the bowling ball was light and aim straight for the pin with an upthrow…
I should have set a good example, but I made the mistake of letting Alessia-san’s enthusiasm for what I was doing get the better of me.
But oh well, no problem.
Normally, a bowling ball would have dug into the wall, and it would have been a catastrophe, but this is a luxury liner with indestructible effects. Not a scratch on it, so it’s all right.
“Then I’ll knock the pin down this time.”
After giving a thorough explanation, Alessia-san stood in the lane again.
Even though I just gave her an explanation, Alessia-san throws the ball from below with superb form. My eyes are almost drawn to her swaying motherhood, but I hold back and seal my dirty look.
The bowling ball slides across the floor at an incredible speed. When the ball hits the top of the pin, the pin bursts open like an explosion.
Boom! Crash, crash! I can hardly believe that it is bowling.
“Ah! There’s one pin left!”
Eh? Did that impact leave a pin? The wind pressure alone was enough to reap all of them, right?
“Alessia, if you can take them all down, you get a bonus next time, so aim carefully.”
Again, Dorothea calmly advised her. This time, the advice was spot on. But somehow, I feel something is wrong.
“I know. Just watch!”
Staring at the pin that remained at the left end, Alessia-san threw a ball that was sucked into the gutter once, then somehow flew out to the gutter on the other side and disappeared over the lane.
Fufu…I guess just falling into the gutter once can’t kill the power of Alessia-san’s ball, huh?
“Geez!”
Alessia-san is frustrated as it lands in the gutter. It’s kind of cute. The power of the ball isn’t cute, though.
…I still feel like I’m doing something wrong, but now that everyone has a grasp of the rules, let’s enjoy the game.
＊＊＊
Bowling was a big hit.
It is difficult to control the force, but the exhilaration of the pins popping off and the delicacy of finishing off the remaining pins made it interesting.
I was not all that happy about it because I also threw curves and had people look at me with respect, but… I think it was something different.
Was bowling like this?
