Chapter Title: Anna's Family Situation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The next day.
After having breakfast with Eli in the morning and seeing her off.
Once morning training was done, during a leisurely tea time.
I suddenly thought that this life of mine was incredibly satisfying right now.
My first experience with Rize after becoming an adult.
Then, one after another, Eli, Ayame, and Kagura had all become mine.
The Cupid operation for Isihoon was going smoothly, of course, as was the conquest of Yume.
As for Chisaki, I'd need to give it a little thought, but it wouldn't take long.
Thanks to Hubunkun's hard work, the blood application experiments on Isihoon were yielding solid results.
The most crucial step toward subjugating the Strangers and the final boss was progressing well, so no issues there.
In the midst of all that, my interest turned toward a woman I hadn't touched yet.
Yeah, the owner of that plump butt that had always caught my eye since childhood.
Anna.
Right now, she was pouring more black tea into my cup, which had just run out, standing by my side.
Rize was enjoying tea time with me from across the table.
I glanced naturally at Anna's butt.
Yep, no matter when I look, it's such an enticing butt.
But I shouldn't stare too long.
Rize had told me last time that she totally knew when I was ogling Anna's butt.
Hmm, Anna...
When I became an adult and danced with joy in a frenzy.
Anna had definitely been one of the options back then.
But looking back now.
Of course, if it happened, it'd be great, but I had no desire to force her against her will, ignoring her feelings.
Anna had taken care of me in so many ways since I was a kid.
Lust was lust, but I didn't want to push it on Anna, to whom I owed so much, if she hated it.
Besides, she was already married—even if it was adoptive—and had a child.
Oh, speaking of which.
"Anna."
"Yes, Young Master."
"Your daughter started elementary school this year, right?"
"Yes, that's right! Our Jenna was so~oo cute! Oh, want to see a picture?"
"Sure."
Even though she wasn't blood-related, Anna adored her adopted daughter Jenna like crazy.
Anna immediately pulled out her phone and showed me a photo from her gallery.
"Look at this, our cute Jenna!"
On the screen was a brown-haired, green-eyed girl standing in front of her school with Anna and her husband.
Anna had light orange hair and eyes.
Her husband had black hair and black eyes, so anyone could tell at a glance that they weren't blood-related.
But in the photo, Anna was smiling as if none of that mattered.
"She's really cute, right~?"
"Yeah, she is."
"Right? Oh, Young Master, no matter how cute our Jenna is, she's in elementary school, so no touching, okay?"
"Anna?"
What does she think I am?
"Heeey, I'm kidding~ I know you don't have those tastes. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense that you didn't lay a hand on Rize until you were an adult~."
"Anna."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, Rize~."
Anna cheerfully apologized to Rize and poured the rest of the tea.
I slurped down the freshly poured tea and made up my mind.
Yeah, dragging this out won't do any good.
I'll just ask her now.
Since it's Anna, even if she refuses, it won't cause any real trouble.
"Anna."
"Yes, Young Master? What is it?"
"What if I said I wanted to hold you?"
"...?"
Anna fell silent at my words.
And Rize, sitting across from me, also stayed quiet, watching Anna.
After a brief silence, Anna spoke up.
"Young Master."
"Yeah."
"Hold on a sec."
Anna clicked open the teapot lid to check the contents and nodded.
She gently set the teapot down on the floor and slid it slightly to the side.
The teapot tilted, spilling the remaining bit of black tea onto the floor along with the lid.
Then Anna, keeping a careful distance so her maid uniform wouldn't get wet, knelt down, covered her mouth with her right hand, and said,
"Kyaaang! Nooo, Young Master! I have a precious husband and a bunny-like child...!"
"...What are you doing, Anna?"
Her staging and acting were so obvious that I couldn't play along and just asked.
"Huh? Doesn't this kind of thing get you more fired up, Young Master?"
Anna blinked, looking at me like it was weird that I wasn't matching her vibe.
What the hell does she think I am?
"I don't have trash tastes like that."
"Really?"
"Anna, if you're gonna do it, shouldn't it be more natural? Preparing it right in front of us kills the effect."
"Oh, true! You asked so suddenly, so I had to improvise~."
"Rize, that's not the point."
Rize has this subtle tendency to think I like stuff like this too.
"More importantly, that reaction... means you're okay with it?"
"I'm fine with it, Young Master."
Anna stood up, put the teacup back in place, quickly grabbed a cloth, and wiped up the spilled tea while saying,
"~It feels like the day that was bound to come has finally arrived~. Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long."
"Surprised how?"
"You lo~oved my butt, Master. You're still staring at it like that."
"Ugh...!"
I'd been unconsciously eyeing her butt as she cleaned.
"You've been like that since you were little, so I figured around middle school? You'd ask me to attend you at night. Who knew it'd be now."
"No, what I mean is... you don't have any aversion to something like night service?"
"Ahaha! What are you talking about now! The moment I started working as a maid for a conglomerate like the Eldra family, I was prepared for that. If anything, the Eldras are too upright!"
"Really?"
"Yes. It's rare to find someone as devoted to his wife as the master. For maids like me, it's normal in this world to be ~eaten~ whenever by someone in the master's position? Or to handle all the young masters' needs? That's the standard."
I'd heard rumors like that, but hearing it straight from Anna was a bit shocking.
"They even get more fired up because she's married, you know? Well, they get big bonuses for it. So, Young Master~ if you're gonna do it, you gotta give a fat bonus~."
Anna winked and made a circle with her thumb and index finger.
Anna... seems like she's had her own resolve about this for a while.
But.
"Anna."
"Yes, Young Master~? What play do you like? Want to do it with Rize too? Or~."
"Anna."
"Yes."
"What I want to know is your true feelings. Not as a maid. If I said I wanted to hold you, how would Anna feel?"
I gave her a serious look.
Anna dropped her playful smile, pressed her palm to her cheek, closed her eyes, and thought for a moment.
"You're right~. If I weren't married and single, I'd have happily wanted to do it with you, Young Master. Your thing is su~per big, so I was curious too."
Where'd she hear about my size?
Probably from Rize.
"Even not as a maid, I was reacting playfully because it's you, Young Master. That's how much I like you too. But if I answer the way you want~."
Anna rubbed her hands together lightly with a swish and smiled as usual.
"Sorry, Young Master. I'd feel bad for my husband."
That was enough.
"Got it. I was just asking."
Alright, no more thinking about doing it with Anna.
From now on... just appreciate the view of her butt.
I've done that all along, so Anna should be fine with it.
"Oh my, you're really backing off just like that? For real? Aren't you gonna say something like... Hehehe! You dared refuse me! You've fallen into my trap! Change your answer now, or your precious husband and bunny child will suffer!"
How evil does she think I am inside?
"Anna?"
"Ah, really~ I was kidding. Some bad conglomerates are like that, so I just gave an example~."
"Anna, Young Master doesn't use cheap tricks like that. He conquers fair and square—pins them down first, then falls them with pleasure."
"Kyaa! Young Master is an upright technician! I didn't know since we haven't done it!"
"Rize?"
"Kidding."
When... when did Rize start making jokes like this?
Well, it's flattering that she thinks my stamina and technique are top-notch, so I'm in a good mood.
After finishing the rest of the black tea, I said to Anna,
"Anna, you can head home early today."
"Oh? Already? Eek! Is this payback for refusing night service...!"
"That joke's not funny anymore."
"Oops. Overused it?"
"It's my way of apologizing. I feel like I asked something a bit sensitive, even though you're with the Eldra family."
"Psh, no need to worry about that~ It's between you and me, Young Master~."
Don't smile and shake your butt like that, Anna.
Rize is right here, and my eyes are going there again.
"That's that. Think of it as a bonus. Early dismissal bonus."
"If you in~sist, Young Master~, I'll gratefully accept. Thank you!"
After thanking me, Anna headed home right away.
Now that it was just the two of us, Rize asked,
"Young Master, are you really okay with that?"
"A little disappointing, sure, but yeah. Rize, any cookies left?"
"Yes, I'll bring them right away."
And so, I spent a peaceful Sunday and welcomed the next day.
"Young Master."
Monday morning.
For some reason, Anna—not Rize—entered my room first.
"Anna?"
Anna, smiling as usual.
Snap!
She thrust her thumb between her index and middle fingers and shouted,
"Young Master! Since it's come to this, when you get back from the academy, do me! Do it a ton! As much as you want! Make a mess of me! Let's! Have! Sex! Come oooon!"
"...What?"
I couldn't comprehend a word Anna was saying.
