Chapter 111: ☆She Is Like a Daughter…
After Suzuya closed, I was resting in the inn’s living space.
I sat on the sofa and looked behind me with only my face.
Pafa was next to Nimi, seeming to help with the dishwashing.
According to Fia’s explanation, it would be better to train the unique power of Pafa and those like her while wearing the bracelet.
Fia and Lea apparently know the training methods and will look after her when they have time.
Conversely, because she is stable with the bracelet, Fia told Pafa not to remove the bracelet.
When the dishwashing seemed finished, Pafa had Nimi wipe her hands and was smiling.
After the wiping finished she pinched Nimi’s apron with a little poke of her finger and would not leave Nimi’s side.
Nimi smiled gently at such a Pafa, stroked her head, and walked toward me.
At the figure of Pafa trotting along behind Nimi, I couldn’t help but smile.
When Nimi saw my face she sat to my left, and Pafa also sat to Nimi’s left and clung to her.
"She looks like a daughter..."
"Fufufu, a daughter? But this child also loves you very much, Raide. Right, Pafa?"
"Nnu~?"
Nimi asked while gently stroking Pafa’s hair with a motherly, gentle smile.
Pafa smiled softly and looked at me while tilting her head cutely.
That appearance was so adorable that my mouth naturally formed a smile.
I wrapped an arm around Nimi’s shoulder, pulled her close, and brought my face near her hair.
Because I pulled her close, Nimi’s marshmallows swayed with a tayun and pressed against my body.
"Right now I’m feeling a great deal of happiness. I’ve been receiving happiness from my lovers, but... how should I put it... I can’t put it into words, but I’m happy."
"...Me too. Since Pafa came, a happiness I can’t put into words has been filling my heart."
"Me... too..."
Pafa climbed onto Nimi’s lap and spoke while smiling with halting words.
When I stroked Pafa’s hair while smiling, Pafa narrowed her eyes and looked happy.
Nimi, who had been watching Pafa’s state, gave me a light kiss that only touched and smiled as she spoke.
"See, Pafa also loves you very much, Raide."
"...This means I mustn’t let fatigue build up like before."
"It’s fine. Before it becomes like that, 『we』 will make you rest."
Saying that, Nimi kissed my lips once more and headed to the bath with Pafa.
Restraining the urge to hug her from Nimi’s overly strong maternal instinct, I smiled wryly and headed to my own room.
Entering the room I turned on the light and took out the documents that had arrived today from my magic bag.
I placed the documents on the desk, sat in the chair, and checked the contents of the documents.
...If I request it from a workshop, they’ll do it right away.
The contents of the documents were about the newly purchased property.
And although I had requested renovations inside the property, the craftsmen of the royal capital are too excellent and finish it immediately.
They won’t show me the place where the work is being done, saying it’s dangerous.
But I would like to see the craftsmanship that finishes in a few days renovations that would take a month in my previous world’s world.
...If I request it once more, maybe they will show me.
While crossing my arms and thinking about various things, more time seemed to have passed than I thought.
Nimi’s voice came from outside the room, telling me the bath was free.
I replied to Nimi, stood up from the chair, left the room, and headed to the bath.
After taking a bath I sat at the desk in my room taking it easy when there was a knock on the door.
When I turned my face toward the door, Nimi entered, and Pafa also entered the room as if following Nimi.
Pafa seemed a little sleepy; she took off her room slippers like slippers and climbed onto my bed.
She crawled slowly to the middle of the bed and then flopped down and started sleeping.
Nimi sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroked Pafa’s hair while smiling, and spoke.
"I asked if we should sleep together in the room, but she said she wants to sleep with you, Raide."
"...I see."
I stood up, sat to Nimi’s right, wrapped my left arm around her waist, and pulled her close.
Feeling the softness of the marshmallows with my body, I gently stroked Nimi’s cheek with my right hand.
Nimi flushed her cheeks a little and smiled happily; seeing that face I kissed her lips.
"Nnu, chuu, nn, nnuunmu, chuu, chuu... hau, aa, Raide."
"Since Nimi became my lover, I’ve been happy."
"...Me too, me too. Nchuu, nn, chuu, nnu fuuun, churu, chuu..."
While kissing, I moved the right hand that had been stroking her cheek to the marshmallows and sank it in.
Even though it was over the negligee, the marshmallows sank into the shape of my hand and changed form.
When I moved my hand as if kneading them, her breasts swayed quietly, and the after-bath scent rising from Nimi’s hair stirred my excitement.
"Nnuuun, churu, chuu, chuu... ahn, you mustn’t, nn, aun"
"I love you, Nimi."
"Yes... I love you, Raide."
We kissed, pulled our faces away, smiled at each other, and lay down on the bed so as to sandwich Pafa.
When Nimi turned off the room’s light, I could tell that Pafa in front of me moved a little.
Because the light had just been turned off and my eyes had not adjusted, I could not confirm her expression, but I felt a gaze looking at my face.
"Pafa, what’s wrong? ...Nn"
"Chuu, nchuu... I-I too"
"Oh my, fufufu"
"Rai, de, love..."
"...We only met today, but I love Pafa too."
When I said that, I could tell from the atmosphere that Pafa smiled, and I stroked Pafa’s hair.
Nimi smiled happily at Pafa’s action and hugged Pafa’s body.
After a while the two’s soft breathing could be heard, and I also fell asleep.
The next morning I woke to the sensation of something touching my lips.
From the sweet scent and the sweetness remaining in my mouth I thought it was Nimi and opened my eyes.
At some point they had moved; Nimi and Pafa were gazing at my face as if sandwiching me.
Nimi wore a motherly smile, and Pafa smiled softly.
"Good morning, Nimi, Pafa."
"Good morning, Raide."
"Good... morning..."
I kissed Nimi, then also kissed Pafa.
The two smiled happily, and I sat up and pulled the two close.
Even at this late stage I end up thinking, is it all right to be this happy?
While the three of us washed our faces and prepared breakfast, the three songstresses knocked on the door and entered.
When I greeted the three songstresses they smiled and replied, then next spotted Pafa’s figure and made surprised expressions.
They were probably surprised at seeing Pafa for the first time; Pafa looked at the three songstresses, smiled softly, and tilted her head cutely.
When Aurora approached me, she asked about Pafa.
"Ah~, she’s Nimi’s cousin."
"Nimi’s...? ...No wonder I somehow felt she resembled her."
"Yeah yeah~, something about the atmosphere~"
"...Cute."
Aurora, Win, and Rain, upon hearing my words, nodded as if understanding and approached Pafa.
We had discussed it among the three of us and decided that to anyone other than the lovers we would pass her off as Nimi’s cousin.
The three songstresses approached Pafa who was by Nimi’s side and began talking while smiling.
Nimi watched that scene while preparing breakfast and smiled.
We all surrounded a lively breakfast, then each began preparing to go to the academy.
Pafa made a request to Nimi, and Nimi laughed enjoyably saying "Gladly" and accepted.
From the moment she woke up, Pafa had been cutely pinching some part of Nimi’s clothes with a little poke of her finger and would not leave her.
I gave the two a goodbye kiss and left the inn to head to the academy.
While heading to the academy with Erika I explained about Pafa.
Then Erika, without being particularly surprised, smiled with understanding and slightly strengthened the force of the arm linked with mine.
Every time force was applied, the sensation of her large breasts was transmitted to my arm and they jiggled with a furu furun.
"If it’s Nimi, it’s possible, isn’t it."
"...Incidentally, why is that?"
"It’s a secret. Please ask the person herself."
I smiled wryly at Erika who laughed mischievously, and as not-quite-retaliation I kissed her lips.
At this hour the main street has a fair number of passersby.
Erika bashfully closed her eyes at the passersby who occasionally glanced at us as they passed.
"Nn! Nn! Nchuu... haa haa, so please stop!"
"...I’ll try my best."
"That’s a lie! That face is a lie!"
"Kuku, it’s not a lie, hahaha!"
Erika began lightly pounding my chest at me who had unintentionally laughed, and while looking bashful with flushed cheeks she was pouting.
This appearance of Erika was so cute that when I kissed her again she turned bright red.
The three adventurer girls who were keeping watch around us were also grinning as they watched our exchange.
