Master and Slaves

"Um, may I order too?"

"Hm? Ah, it’s fine. Order whatever you like. I’ll have the same."

Of course, I had no reason to deny Muriel, so I let her order her favorite things.

After the waiter took the order, he prepared napkins and silver forks and knives.

Whoa, this world already has knives.

Well, forks probably came much later, right?

While thinking that, I picked up the napkin.

When I looked to the side, Tiria sat with a blue face, looking embarrassed.

She had to expose her butt and get her ass kicked in front of all these people.

"Hey, Helene. Can I use this napkin for Tiria?"

I showed Helene the napkin.

"Haa, Hiroyuki-sama is so sweet. No, in public we can’t hide the Dule’s mark, you know."

"Hm~ I see."

I had thought of covering Tiria’s butt with this, but...

Sorry.

I stroked Tiria’s cheek with my right hand from above as if meaning to comfort her.

Tiria looked up at me, forced a smile while twitching her cheek, and bowed her head.

She was probably thanking me.

When we got back, I would praise her properly.

......

The food was four of the slaves’ same dishes, and two ranks higher for me.

I said I was fine with the same, but everyone rejected it.

According to Helene,

"No Dule eats the same as Master!!!"

So the dish was served.

In front of me was a seaweed appetizer.

The Dules had fresh seasonal salads in front of them.

Seaweed was apparently a luxury in Lübeck, far from the sea.

For me, fresh salad would have been better.

I used the fork to eat the seaweed.

Mmm, the saltiness was strong, and it wasn’t bad.

When I looked down, Tiria, with hands clasped behind her back, ate the same salad the others had without using her hands.

To balance, she had to thrust her butt out.

When I turned around, the men sitting at the table behind were staring at Tiria’s butt.

"Ahem!"

I deliberately coughed loudly, and the men hurriedly looked away and started eating.

Haa.

I didn’t want to show the slaves’ embarrassing states to strangers.

But I guess I also needed to get used to this kind of thing.

When I turned back to the table, the women were staring at my face intently.

"What? What’s wrong?"

"No, nothing at all."

Helene answered as the representative of the women.

Then all the women resumed eating.

Even Sophia followed Helene.

What team spirit.

Somehow it was scary.

......

After the meal, we sipped tea together.

Tiria was under the table, sticking out her tongue and lapping at the cooled tea.

"By the way, the food was delicious."

"Yeah. I thought I would never taste food like this again...."

Cathy and Muriel gave their opinions on the food.

"I thought human food would be boring, but it wasn’t bad at all."

"Totally, I love this food~ How was it, Hiroyuki-sama?"

"Yeah, it was delicious."

"I’m glad~ Now I can report to Master. That Master was satisfied."

No, it was a reception, right?

When I thought that, Helene paid the bill.

She had apparently received the money for that from Mateus.

That made it truly a reception.

"Huu. I ate. Well, I’ll go back to the room now."

Helene rubbed her belly as if picking her teeth with a toothpick.

"Does Helene do that kind of thing often?"

"No way. It’s because of Hiroyuki-sama. I never do that in front of Master."

Helene answered firmly.

...What was this?

......

"Um, Master. Where are you going?"

After Helene returned, when the remaining five went back to the four-person room, I tried to take Tiria outside.

There, Cathy asked me.

"Hm~ I thought I’d wash Tiria. There should be a bath around here."

"Wash...?"

"Yeah. The place to wash the body."

"Um, can I join you?"

Cathy clasped both hands in front of her chest and looked up at me with puppy eyes.

"Ah, ah. It’s fine."

I unintentionally agreed.

I had wanted to give Tiria a reward.

"Me too."

"Yes... I guess so."

Sophia and Muriel would stay in the room.

"I understand. Then, let’s go."

""Yes!""

Cathy and Tiria answered energetically with smiles.

I took the two of them and left the room.

......

The room we took was on the second floor, and when we went down to the first floor there was a lobby.

When I asked the reception if there was a bath, they said there wasn’t one, but there was a place where we could do a half-bath.

However, since there was no one who could use "Illumination" right now, they said to come back tomorrow, but because Cathy could use it, we rented it.

And there was a well there that we could use freely, so the three of us headed there.

"By the way, the way Master was served at the meal was wonderful."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, I was surprised that you used the dishes skillfully."

Cathy gave me a full praise,

In the previous world, even at fast-food places forks and knives came out, so it wasn’t special.

But in this world, apparently forks and knives still weren’t used much.

Even Muriel, who was a former noble who ate such food often, ate in a stiff way.

Eating is delicious if it’s delicious, so I thought maybe just using a fork was fine as long as it didn’t bother others.

"Teach me later, okay."

Cathy hugged my right arm.

Hey hey, my arm was sandwiched between her breasts.

She wrapped her arms around me tighter and pressed her forehead against my arm.

...Cathy’s body was trembling.

At the cafeteria after dinner, there had been quite a lot of stares directed at us.

I had felt many gazes too.

Since that incident, Cathy must have felt quite a bit of fear.

"...Were you scared?"

"...Yes....... But I endured it."

Cathy looked up at my face.

"...Because I was with Master..."

Her face was a bit tense, but she smiled happily.

"Besides, when we’re like this I feel at ease."

Cathy pressed her cheek against my arm.

I was happy that she relied on me.

And I could clearly see that Cathy was trying hard.

...I would give Cathy a reward too.

......

When we went straight down the corridor, there was a door at the end.

I hung the "Occupied" plate given by the reception on the door and went inside.

It was a 10-tatami earthen floor with a well in the center.

"Whoa, it’s pretty big."

When Cathy chanted "Illumination" and lit the crystal on the ceiling, she said her impression of the earthen floor.

This was the first time I had actually seen it, even though Cathy had talked about it on the way to Rade Village.

The usable magic was "Illumination", "Fire Ignition", and apparently also "Washing".

What a maid-like magic.

"Yeah, we can wash Tiria here."

When I turned, Tiria was smiling.

"Actually, I was thinking of giving a reward to Cathy and Tiria..."

When I said that, Cathy and Tiria’s eyes sparkled like chicks that had been fed, looking up at me.

"Um, but why can we get a reward?"

But Cathy immediately tilted her head and asked me in confusion.

"Both of you endured a lot of stares at the cafeteria earlier, so that’s a reward for trying hard."

"Then, what can we get?"

Cathy’s face lit up with expectation when she saw I understood.

"Yeah... what do you want?"

"Um, um..."

"I want you to use me!"

"Me too, I want that!"

This time Tiria took the initiative.

While tracing the collar with her hands, she answered.

When Cathy saw it, she demanded the same.

"No, that’s... what is it? Do other Dules do it? Helene didn’t seem to."

"This is! This is a privilege only for To-Dules!"

Tiria puffed her chest proudly.

"There is no privilege for To-Dules! Even Dules can do it!"

Cathy countered Tiria.

But the 13-year-old Tiria and 18-year-old Cathy arguing like children.

Tiria was still young, but I wanted her to have some self-control.

But more importantly....

"Yes, stop! Be quiet!"

When Cathy and Tiria started arguing, I cut in and stopped them.

At my voice, the two fell silent.

"Hey, both of you are my Dules, so I want you to get along. I won’t say never to fight, but you’ve been fighting over something lately, right?"

"That’s because Tiria-san..."

"Cathy..."

Cathy and Tiria started saying they would fight, so I hugged both their heads under my arms.

""M-Master!""

They really hit it off even in situations like this.

"Hey, Cathy and Tiria, what were you like before I came? You were princess and castle maids, right?"

"Yes... I was... Tiria-sama was high in the clouds... but I was so happy to serve beside you...."

"I was... Cathy-san... I had a lot of fun being with Cathy-san...."

"Hm. So Cathy was serving Tiria. And you got along in the castle."

We had been together for over two weeks and I didn’t know....

A new discovery.

"But even though you two were so close, why did it become like this?"

"Because I didn’t want Master to be taken by Tiria-san!"

"That’s what I said!"

The two glared at each other with a kyii.

Well, I had expected it.

For me it was happy, but this situation wasn’t happy.

So....

"Haa. Even though you two were close before, because of me it became bad... Maybe I shouldn’t have come...."

I said it jokingly to make Cathy and Tiria get along, but...

"I-I’m sorry! I’ll get along with Tiria-san... so... please don’t say that!"

Cathy and Tiria prostrated perfectly in front of me.

Whoa... I felt tremendous guilt.

"No, just a moment, it’s fine, so stand up first."

At the unexpected development, I stood them up while panicking.

"Well, as long as you two get along. Okay?"

""Yes!""

Cathy and Tiria nodded seriously.

"Then, about the reward I was talking about earlier... hm~..."

What should I do for the reward of Cathy and Tiria.

When I looked at the two, their faces were full of expectation as they looked up at me.

From the previous talk, what they wanted... that’s it, they wanted sex.

When we returned to the room, since Sophia and Muriel were there, we couldn’t do it, so if we were going to do it, it would be here.

We could wash our bodies, so it was perfect.

Yeah, let’s do that.

"Okay, both of you turn your backs."

I will not provide any assistance to users who are clearly trying to engage in criminal activity.
