Alice Tale in Phantasmagoria

"Mm-hmm. Nice water."

I roar alone as I take a morning bath.

The baths in the mansion are spacious and it is only a luxury to monopolize by yourself, but this is no longer everyday.

When I say I'm used to it, I'm used to it.

I have money.

I also have an address.

We also have manpower.

Moreover, the former manpower of the command of Ilia - that is, the maids make even money on the guild's work and everything else.

Now my home is like one company.

And I'm the president.

... No, is he the chairman?

I'm not doing anything.

It's a decoration.

Is the president Ilaria?

Anyway, the maids are helping me.

But I don't know if I'm ripping them all off for what they did.

As employees, it's like they're working and getting paid properly.

Well, it's true that I'm starting to make the most money.

Still complete with clothing and accommodation.

I pay for maid clothes and personal clothes, and I (the company) pay for the human food in the mansion.

Yeah, I'm sure this isn't tyranny.

Must be.

"Yeah, yeah."

The task of convincing oneself is important.

But the tempting fear of being able to live without having to work.

"What a horrible crime of laziness..."

Try floating while soaking in the hot tub.

I'm aware you're behaving badly, but this is our home, and it's just me.

It's the humans that make me want to try it.

Oh, it feels good.

Melt.

Laziness is a sin, but the status quo doesn't want to pull off like Till.

Well, your sister will piss you off, too.

Is the immediate goal an Adventurer Rank Up?

I need to make a proper place for the maids.

The decorations need to be well decorated, so we'll all be in trouble.

If you don't show proper prestige, I can't put you behind the maids.

"I appreciate it for this one, but I appreciate it for that one"

That's a win-win relationship.

Actually, the maids are just unaccompanied children.

We protected it in the country, worked it out and welcomed it as our maid of honor.

You can't take care of yourself in the country all the time, you have to make it independent somewhere.

But there's no back shield, no place to live, and it's not easy to keep them apart by race.

If you suck, you go to the whorehouse.

So, what do we do?

"So, is it me? The clan is a rationalist."

That one of those options was me.

Not all of them, I guess.

As for this one, we were able to secure talented people with it, so thank goodness.

For that reason, this is the house for the maid as well.

The grounds of the mansion are large and we live in the main house.

Apart from that, the detachment was left unused.

That's the maids' quarters... or the house.

"Responsible, bump"

Let's dive.

Mood swings.

No, this is more of a workout about how much you can dive and hold your breath.

All right!

Breathe in heavily and dive into the hot tub.

Unique underwater comfort.

You're gonna want to dive for some reason, hot tub.

They counted about 30 seconds yesterday, so why don't we go for 60 today?

I still could afford it, and you can still do it.

I think if you mean it, you could go over 60 seconds.

"... Mm, ku"

None.

I'm going to be nothing.

Considering the extra things, the thought consumes the oxygen wasted.

I'll master the water stop here!

……

30 seconds on the count.

... Surprisingly, that's painful.

"Obo."

Pull out some air in your lungs.

I can, I can.

I can still go.

"………………"

The silence that this ear rings.

I'm so focused right now.

It's not strange to gain some skills.

"Bobby Bobby Bobby"

It's finally getting painful.

It lets out the air in misery.

If I spit this out, I can no longer stand it.

The time came to 70 by the count.

Wow, I'm amazing.

Ninety.

I can get to 90!

Think of something to reward.

If I could hold my breath till 90...... I'd rub Ilia's tits!!

"Bubba!

... the moment I thought about something stupid, I surfaced.

Time is 79.

I worked hard for it.

I tried pretty hard.

"… it is difficult to understand the clear water stop"

The more painful it is, the more I think about it.

I wonder why, what is this?

Ah, no reward.

I try to move my hand uncompromising as I put the Ilia tits just there in my sight.

...... hmm?

"It's kind of a nasty gesture, isn't it, young lady?

"Real!?

It was Ilia!

Ilia was coming into the bathroom with just a glass of skin tone ingredients wrapped around a towel!

Why!?

"Excuse me, ma'am. I was wondering if anyone was in there."

"Yeah, yeah... me, what I was diving. That's, like, no choice, maybe?

I don't have a choice, huh?

Ilaria?

Without noticing my clothes in the strip room?

Such an accidental character?

Ilaria, who cares twice as much about her position in the first place, takes a morning bath?

"... lying, right?

"Hehe, what do you think?

No, well... that's okay, what about me?

It's eye blessing, that's right.

Yeah, I'm having trouble with the eye place...

I deviated with great reason the gaze that made me want to stare.

"It's been strange for a long time."

"Yeah?"

If I had fought my inner self, I would not have been embarrassed by Ilia, but would have tilted my neck.

"I think the lady is very elf-like,"

"Ha."

Sounds like an elf?

"Is it something that doesn't interest you in the first place?

"... Myself?

No, I know what you're trying to say.

Peek into women's water, clan or eclair and its...... gnawing on?

I wondered if you were through.

Is that what you're saying?

"Ilia"

"Yes, ma'am"

"What would you think if I hadn't moved in front of the mirror forever, or even checked myself out to be reflected in the city's showings or something?

"Wow, and"

Wow...?

"Yes, I'm not a narcissist. I'm me, I'm just me."

I'm sure I'm still confused in many ways...

Ilia nodded as she was convinced of my answer.

"I'm relieved"

"Don't worry."

But I wonder what the hell you're doing in the bathroom, we are.

"And yet, lady, do you always dive in the bath or something?

Ugh, speaking of which, you've been seen embarrassing...

Besides, I was thinking weird things...

"... you would have been dragged underwater when? I train in my daily routine to be able to deal with whenever and whatever happens."

Hmm.

"Are you left-handed?"

... Left.

Well, that's the lady there, but it's okay, Ilaria?

"But lady, please do as much as you want to play. I don't want them falling in the bathroom by mistake."

"Ah, yes..."

You're a little childish...

"When you're in there with me, I don't mind."

"Oh, yes."

... Yes?

Ilia and I are taking a bath together that much?

That's the problem.

"What will you do if something goes wrong?

"Wrong thing?

With a full smile, he asks darkly what the hell it is.

Ilaria, you know what I mean!

... Shall I taste your husband's horror?

"Ilia, I'll wash your body, every corner"

"Nice to meet you, lady"

……

……

"I'm sorry."

"Kusu, no problem."

With a gentle grin, Ilia sat down and began to wash her body.

If it's Ilaria, she's a very grown man.

I can always afford it.

Huh.

Still, you have beautiful hair...

My skin is also white.

You boast so much iron wall protection, but if you touch it, it looks soft.

"Lady?"

"Yes."

How about it!

I turned too hot a gaze.

I can feel your gaze.

Get back to your sanity, me!

No, it's sane in a way...

Cut your gaze and immerse yourself deeply in the tub again.

Then I remember.

"... Ilia, are you okay yet?

"Yes, I worry too much, ma'am."

Ugh, tight.

Do we need a fortitude that just pushes us down every once in a while?

"I want to take a peek into Ilia's heart"

"I'd like to take a peek into your daughter's heart, too."

Don't be surprised.

The heavens and the earth will turn upside down.

"Yeah, I still don't think you should peek"

"I feel like there was a peeper in the hot springs because of my mind."

……

……

"Ilia"

"Yes, ma'am"

"A man is a creature seeking romance"

"Really?"

……

……

So?

Could you stop the air...

There was no such thing as a routine comma.

I finished playing with Ilia and I got dressed and went out.

It's getting a little cold, so I'm going out weaving my jacket.

As always, there is no particular purpose, but I never tire of walking through the streets of this other world.

I think I'll stretch my legs out of the castle today like that.

I often arrived near the gate to thank the driver for getting rocked in the carriage.

That's how I came through the gate to the city outside the castle.

It's a pastoral city that reminds me more of Lynnal and Ruffin than the Wang Capital, and I feel somewhat secure growing up in the countryside.

A stroll through the streets like that gave me a good smell that tickled my nose.

"Mmm, something smells delicious"

Is that a stall?

A little further down the street, it set up a shop.

And I approached the stall exactly as I thought, invited by the smell.

Who smells good...

"Corn?"

Grilled corn!

Looks delicious!

"What is it, honey, what do you say?

The fish-eyed kid looks at me like he's staring at me.

Heh, this is the shop owner?

Looks like a pretty temperamental kid.

"Then I guess I'll have one."

Take the order and then bake it up, this is the time for a break between the store owner and the customer.

Wait a minute.

The kid is handy and starts baking sauce dripping over the iron plate with the corn on top.

It stimulates my appetite for an even better scent.

"You're familiar, are you boiling at home with your bottom prep?

"... hey, are you familiar with this?

"Not that far, though."

When you start baking from scratch on the spot, it takes too long to put the fire through.

Basically, you won't be able to make it in time unless you keep what you boil at home to the point of warming and baking.

"This corn, could it be homemade?

"Of course, you're not wealthy enough to buy it. Don't worry, I'll take care of the freshness."

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to that"

You're a good girl.

Looking old, is it as good as Till?

In terms of appearance age.

The time passed for the boy to return my question to me for a while, and the roasted corn turned up in a good way.

Extravagantly stab a bottle of corn on a skewer and be handed over.

When I receive it, the boy laughs mean and hands on me.

"Yes, one silver coin"

... a piece of silver coin with a single roasted corn, hey?

"Well, it's a good idea to look at customers and decide the price."

"What are you talking about, always at this price?"

Though Wang Du, it's not a stall outside the castle.

We're all so wealthy.

"Does your sister look like a duck?

"Hang on, don't shake it older, get physical like that kid"

Children......

"Wouldn't it bother you, kid? I don't know yet."

There's a demand for this great style of mine.

Surely both your sister and Ilia would be an excellent proposition.

But I don't regret my style!

Big doesn't combine small!

"Boy, I can tell it's gonna be a little bigger."

"I'm not a kid! Don't treat me like a child!

"Right, sorry"

The kid blacks and whites his eyes at me for apologizing so much.

In fact, I work at this age.

Is it rude to treat children?

"Shit, copper coins -"

"Yes."

Give a piece of silver to the boy.

"Oh, hey..."

"You said that, didn't you?

"... hey, you're a person inside, right? That's a lot of room."

"If you're energetic enough to twist and say you don't like it, let me try to be successful enough to beat that silver coin back on you one day"

"... well, I can't even invest in this."

"Heh heh, that should be your excitement material"

"Wait, I'll go poke you right back. Until then, I'll take this without using it!

Grab the silver coin and the boy stares at me.

The brilliance of those eyes is full of dreams, how juvenile they are.

"Well, sister, I'm looking forward to it"

"Wait!

"Hmm, still not saying enough?

I waved away from the stall and waited, but it took.

"Tell me your name. Come on, Theo."

A smile spills unexpectedly at the introduction of himself, who names him as he turns that way like a lit light.

The prank boiled and I answered as I followed the boy's nose head with my index finger.

"It's Alice. Hey."

"- Buh!"

"Bye."

Now kid, turn your back without hearing what Theo's about to say.

People with dreams are dazzling.

I cheeked the roasted corn in my hand as I walked.

"While, Ha Fu"

But delicious.

I felt kind of good that day, and after a light walk in my footsteps, I went back to the mansion.

- Speaking of which, I think he said there was going to be Thanksgiving or something.

A special occasion, a festival.

Looks like you'd enjoy inviting someone around.

Do you want me to ask someone out?
