The employment contract from the Earl of Darainwald was signed to check whether the contract would be renewed at least once a month and to work for a maximum of three months.
It was a very busy month to defeat what was believed to be the Ikthermal Earl's next-of-kin, who had sabotaged the Earl of Darainwald by defeating many space bandits, crushing their bases, and joining them.
As a result, the space bandits have been lurking for the past ten days, which may be temporary, but the security of the system has improved considerably.
"That's why we're done with Count Darrenwald's work. Then... Hiro-sama will soon travel somewhere out of my reach again, right?
"Well... yeah"
That's right, so nod honestly.
I was on my way to Chris's office on Cormatt Prime Colony. As for the time, it's about time that you could express it as the evening. Behind Chris, who is sitting behind a large operating desk, and beyond a large window, the "night view" of the Cormat Prime colony shines. In Cormat Prime colonies, space lighting in the colony is dropped between 18: 00 and 5: 00 tomorrow morning, making it look like night.
"My feelings are still the same."
"... ahh"
I finally get back to Chris with a straight look into my eyes. If I could say something nice here, I could be a lady at one end, but unfortunately, I don't seem to be so worthy.
"When will I see Hiro-sama again?
"I... don't know."
"That's right. Hiro-sama wouldn't want to face a troubled little girl like me if it wasn't for work."
"That's not true! That's too much for a boulder!
It is true that Chris's relationship with men and women is problematic in both an age and an identity sense, so as for me, it is NG, but that's not why I ignore it. There are some parts of each other's positions that are absolutely incompatible, but I don't think a pretty girl like Chris will like it.
So Hiro-sama hates me and doesn't come over?
"... I'm not coming."
I remember the illusion that Chris's onyx shining eyes began to have a monstrous color, and I took an unexpected step back. I don't know, I feel like the alarm is ringing in my head.
By the way, you're alone today.
"Oh, yeah. Mimi and Elma said they were on the boat today... and May seemed busy with the final checks on the data the media companies were taking home."
"I see, Master Hiro, I'm worried."
"Worried?"
I put my hand on my cheek and showed Chris that I was tilting my neck with a troublesome expression. Wherever the lewd atmosphere I saw for a moment earlier went, it seemed like Chris was really worried about me.
"From now on, I think Hiro-sama will have more opportunities to deal with the nobles. Some of them will want Hiro-sama's power and ships, and they will plot to make them mine."
"I see. I'll be careful."
I nodded honestly at Chris's words. Certainly, there is little chance that such a person will be noticed. I looked up thinking I would be more careful in the future - and Chris had a smile full of nicotine - and for some reason, his hands were on his clothes.
What...?
Kia
Chris screamed. No, is this a scream? The volume is the same as the voice you normally speak, and above all, the dialogue itself is a bar reading.
"No, Hirosama!"
"Eh? Eh!?
Chris's hand moves slowly and the buttons on her clothes, or the clasp, come off. Her own hands loosened her jacket and exposed her thin underwear and slightly cherry blossom-colored neck. No, wait. Wait for me.
"Ah, no, Hiro-sama. Oh, my God, Rambo."
"Hey, what!? What are you doing?
"And press this button on the finish to call the guard,"
"Starp!?
Chris started reaching out to a small egg-shaped object on her desk and rushed to the desk to grab her wrist and stop the riot.
"Ufufu, if you can see this scene, you can't escape.
At a breathtaking close range, Chris looks up at me with a naughty laugh and provocation. My cheeks, my glossy lips and my pure white neck looked strangely pale, and I shifted my gaze sideways.
"Chris, I don't think this kind of prank is good. No matter how close you are, this is not good."
"Yes, I'm sorry. But please be careful.
"... what are you doing?
And the moment he turned his face to Chris, he turned his left hand to my neck, which I had not grasped, and he laid it on my lips as if he was aiming for clarity.
Just slightly away from me, surprised by the soft feeling and stiff, Chris looks up at me with a gaze.
"A bad aristocratic woman might force a fait accompli like this and force her to have an irreversible relationship. You must never meet a noble woman other than me alone.
"... yes"
I don't know what to say. I won a victory with the nobles in the game before me, and in Cormatt IV, I survived fighting fierce twisted, stupid giant grapplers, and even the monsters who control the sword.
You cared for my honest reply, Chris slipped away from me with a playful cat look. And I slowly put back on the jacket that I was trying to show you. Seems completely provoked, but I'm not moving. If I were Loricon, I'd be in danger.
"... can you really create a fait accompli?
"Don't tempt me enough... I guess you've become a pretty bad kid without even looking at it.
"Girls grow up fast."
Especially the growth of girls in love.
I had to shut my mouth to Chris, who smiled.
"You're scary."
"Is it an acute onset of female phobia?
As she leans her neck, Mae says something subtly off.
No, it's not that serious. On your way home, "Please come see me again. If you don't come to see me for too long, your grandfather may be too lonely to reveal inside your chest." I can't help feeling this way. Well, I don't really think it's a joke because it's about Chris. It's a joke, isn't it?
"No, it's okay. Probably all right. There's no problem."
Really? Above all else. "
Mae nods like that and displays several videos on the large screen - the main screen installed on the Black Lotus cockpit. It was Krishna's destruction of the Starfleet, the simultaneous shelling of an Imperial Space Force battleship, the destruction of Grappler and Bull with close air support from spacecraft, including Krishna, and me and Lieutenant-Colonel Serena waving their swords in the dust.
"We have checked all the recorded data in each company's media. The security section of the ship has been inspected."
"Thank you. It was hard, wasn't it?
"It took some time, but it's a trivial matter."
"That may be true, but thank you. I'd like to offer you a reward, but what kind of reward should I offer May?
Basically, Mae doesn't seem to have a lust for things and doesn't want to receive wages. So I don't know how to reward her for this one.
"A reward?
"Yeah, a reward. No matter how much Mae is a maid and how hard it is to work for me, I don't think it's strange that I want to show my gratitude to Mae."
I see. Bye.
Mae spread her arms with no expression. It's like asking for a hug?
Please hug me.
Yeah?
"The maids can be hugged by your husband to replenish a substance called Goshdinium, which improves performance."
"Yeah? Well, if you want me to hug you, I will."
"Yes"
Is it a maid-roid joke? I decided to open my arms and approach May while waiting for a hug, and hug her as I wished. Then Mei gently hugged me with her arms around my back. I wonder why May smells so good even though she's a machine. I wonder why your body is warm because you have the power you deserve. She should have a special metallic muscle fiber and an alloy skeleton, but her body is as soft as a real woman. More than Krishna, more than Black Lotus, Mae may actually be the most mysterious being in the world.
I hugged May for a while and walked away from either. Mae's expression, which ended the mysterious hug time, was not always expressionless, but rather a pleasant and satisfying atmosphere. It was really slight, but the corners of his mouth were rising and he was smiling.
"Have you been able to replenish the garbage?
"Yes, it seems to have improved processing capacity by about 4%."
"Above all,"
Maybe it's a made-to-order joke, but it would be great if it really improved by 4%. As soon as I hug every day, Mae's performance will more than double.
Now, if we can arrange a media staffer's leg in the future, we'll leave this system alone. I feel like I've forgotten something, but it's not a big deal.
I am somewhat concerned about what will happen to the Earl of Ikthermal, and I wonder if the monster of the four swords was really with Gerritz, but I know nothing about it. With just a little curiosity, there's a high risk of finding out the truth. The Earl of Ikthermal may target you while you know the truth. I'll be free as soon as I'm ready.
