I got out of the bath, and I was back in front of the room.
So I met Celia and Mr. Cannon and they said a lot. That's why I'm confused.
"Ah, Mr. Slade"
"Yeah?"
I could hear a voice in my ear like that.
This is the voice of Cretta.
"Cretta..."
"What are you doing here?
"No, I've been thinking a lot..."
Cretta asked me with a strange face.
Because I was told so many things, I thought so many things.
But I guess Cretta worried me because she had a head for it.
"Oh, you all told me a lot, didn't you?
"Well, that's the thing"
"Well, then I can't help thinking about it."
To my words, Cretta smiles.
I don't know, Cretta's sweet today. Is something wrong?
"But, Mr. Slade. I think the way you think about it is simple, don't you?
"Easy?"
"Yeah, Mr. Slade wants to be with you, doesn't he?
"As, well..."
"The best thing for that is to make you all your own. You just have to do it."
"Huh...?
I was surprised at what Cretta said.
Sure, I can understand what you're trying to say.
If the relationship Faraes was talking about, there would be no particular problem with us all together.
But there is also anxiety as to whether it really works.
"I think it's Mr. Slade who can do that. Good luck."
"Oh, oh..."
But when they say this, I just have to snort.
Well, I don't know what's gonna happen from here, but we're gonna have to do something about it.
"Well, I'd also like to talk about me here, okay?
"Yeah? Oh..."
So, Cletta said that to me.
Speaking of which, I hadn't heard about Cretta yet.
Sure, Cretta said that with me and Faraes tied together, there was something I could say.
"My position is simple. I'm a maid of honor."
"Because you're a maid?
"Yes. A maid is a mission to obey her husband's orders. So if my husband says so, I will obey it."
"My husband's orders...?
Cletta says it's her mission to follow her husband.
Does that mean following Faraes?
If so, I'm not sure what the conclusion will be. Does Cretta's decision mean it's not there?
"Yes. Here, I need to talk to you for a minute. My husband is a lady. And those who will be my daughters' companions will be my masters."
"Yeah?"
"I mean, Mr. Slade is also my husband. So if Mr. Slade wants, he's a maid, and that's who he'll be."
"What...?
I was surprised at what Cretta said.
The theory that I am my husband and other ideas are quite special.
For Cretta, a maid is probably not the earliest job, but a living one.
Ordinary maids would not entrust their lives to their husbands.
"By the way, my favorite person is someone who likes a lady who likes a lady. So this idea is perfectly fine. And I think you don't have to tell me who that is."
"Cretta......"
But in that word, I understand.
At the root of Cretta lies Faraes.
Her happiness is that of Faraes. So this is what I can say.
"Well, Mr. Slade. It's not a good idea to keep your daughter waiting, so I'll be excused here."
"Huh? Making Faraes wait?
"The lady will be waiting for you in Mr. Slade's room."
"Were you..."
So Cletta told me that.
Apparently, Faraes is waiting in his room.
Thinking about it, I've kept you waiting for a long time. Maybe you should go quick.
"Then take your time with us later..."
"Oh, oh..."
That's what I said, Cretta left.
In the meantime, let's get to the room quickly.
◇ ◇ ◇
Finished talking about Cretta, and I was coming back to my room.
Then, as I was saying, Faraes was waiting.
"Slade......"
"Faraes, I'm sorry. It's getting a little late."
"No, I'm fine. Somehow, I thought that would happen..."
"Right..."
Apparently, Faraes knew it would be too late.
However, that may also be natural. In the first place, it was Faraes who revealed the relationship to everyone. I would have largely known what would happen afterwards.
"Besides, this is the one I have to apologize for. I told everyone everything without saying anything to you..."
"No, that's good. Even with me, it would have been a lot of trouble..."
Faraes has apologized, but that's good enough.
In the end, it was something we had to talk about. Then it would have been better sooner.
"Sounds like we all have our own minds..."
"Oh, I see..."
To my words, Faraes nodded slowly.
Apparently, Faraes knows the whole thing, too.
"Well, I don't know what happened, but I think we all want to make the best choice."
"I guess that's the best."
"In the meantime, I have to go to bed today..."
So, I'll wrap up the story once.
I feel like talking to Faraes forever, but that's not why.
Tomorrow, too, Faraes must fight the paperwork. That's why I need to rest today.
"Well..."
I turn off the lights and roll over the bed.
Then, as usual, Faraes leans himself in.
"Ugh..."
"Slade......? Ah..."
I accidentally raised my voice about it.
Because I was upset by the softness and smell of that body.
Me and Faraes are supposed to be lovers right now. And that's what I even did yesterday.
Being approached like this makes me aware of it. You seem to have to be more patient than before.
"Today, shouldn't we stay away?
"No, I'm fine. I'm used to Faraes pillows."
"Really? Well, excuse me..."
Slowly I am embraced by Faraes.
This sensation has been experienced many times before. But I don't think so.
That's not the only thing that's made it harder to put up with. I'm kind of happy.
"... it's nice to be alone with you, but I miss you a little bit"
"Yeah?"
"No, we used to sleep together in this bed, so that's what I thought."
So, Faraes says that.
Indeed, a bed for two is something that I feel widely.
Originally it is a large bed, but without everyone, I feel strongly about it. I guess that means I'm lonely.
"Well, I think so, too. But I'm sure they're all concerned now."
"Oh, that would be appreciated. For once, I have a desire for exclusivity."
"Exclusive greed..."
"I want to keep you to myself. I want to be with everyone. It's a definite emotion in me. You still think a lot of things about this?
To Faraes' words, I think a little.
I have an appetite for exclusivity, but I don't mind sharing me because I want to be with everyone. There seems to be a lot of emotion in Faraes.
"... I don't know, you've talked weird. It's early tomorrow, and should we go to bed now?
"Oh, oh... good night"
"Rest......"
So Faraes cut the story out.
This is how we fell asleep.
