Chapter Title: Home Sweet Home
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Squeak...."
"Were you that uncomfortable?"
"After living so comfortably, riding in the carriage felt really rough. I just want to get home and flop into bed."
"Hehe, it certainly is tiring to go all the way up to the capital and then back down south."
We'd spent quite a bit of time in the carriage again this time, and we were finally just moments from arriving home.
In my childhood, I don't think I saw the mansion itself as home all that often.
But at some point, it became my complete idea of home.
Of course, I had thought of it that way before, but it hadn't been a full 100% until recently—and that shift happened quicker than I'd expected.
"It's nice coming back home. I don't think I was even this happy when I graduated from the Academy."
"I feel the same."
"But Mother rarely even goes out of the mansion, right?"
"Even so, coming back like this makes me truly happy."
"If Mother says so, then I'm happy too."
"Hehe."
Rozalin looked so lovely, giving me those words with her bright smile.
It had been over a month since we'd last been in the mansion, after all.
Everyone was bound to be thrilled to return after such a long time.
"Lize, you're happy too, right?"
"Of course, Young Lady."
"Pffft...."
Resting my head on Lize's thigh turned out to be more comfortable than I'd imagined.
The carriage was shaking, but every jolt brought Lize's unique scent wafting over me.
"What do you want to do once we're back at the mansion, Lize?"
"I want to relax with you on the sofa or in bed, Young Lady."
"Pffft, that sounds good. What else?"
"I want to join you for a half-bath to wash away the fatigue—since you like those."
"Everything's with me?"
"...Is that not allowed?"
"Absolutely not. I'm happy to do it all with you."
I said that while stroking Lize's side-swept hair swaying gently above my view.
She usually tied her hair back, so there wasn't much else to touch besides that.
Of course, our Lize was tall with long, sleek lines overall, so the ponytail suited her far better—it made her look even prettier.
Her straight hair loose past her waist was nice too, but with it all tied up, the exposed nape and the line flowing from her neck to her back, shoulders, and waist were just gorgeous.
"...Pretty."
"...Pardon?"
"Just saying Lize is pretty."
How could someone look this pretty even from below?
I couldn't help but think I'd reeled in a great catch with Lize from a young age.
"Th-the Young Lady and Lady Ashley are in the carriage...."
"So what? I compliment Mother right in front of Lize all the time. Can't I compliment Lize?"
"That's not it, but...."
"Mother, it's fine, right?"
"Of course."
"See? Mother just said it's okay, loud and clear."
I said that while gazing up at the bashful Lize.
She'd always been the shy type.
Of course, Lize never outright refused, so it was safe to tease her like this.
"Do you hate hearing that kind of thing, Lize?"
"...No, I don't."
"Then is it overwhelming?"
"That's... not it either."
"So it's okay if I keep going?"
"...Yes."
See?
Even now, with her face flushed bright red, she's answering without a hint of dislike.
How could I not tease someone this adorable?
Part of me wanted to take things further right here in the carriage, despite everything.
But we were almost home, and it was broad daylight....
I held back.
*
"Haaah.... Uwaaah.... So comfy...."
"Yaaawn...."
"Teacher's happy to be back home too, right?"
"Mmm.... Yeah.... Feels good...."
As soon as we got back to the mansion, I bolted straight for the bed.
It wasn't just me—Ashley dove in too, and we sprawled out comfortably.
My bed was plenty big for one person to begin with, so no issues there.
Of course, we'd changed clothes and washed our hands roughly first.
"The mansion bed really is the best. Right?"
"Yeah...."
"Did you seriously close your eyes the second you hit the bed?"
"...Can't I?"
"No, you can't. I want to chat with Teacher a bit longer."
I drew closer to Ashley, who was already eyes-closed and fully relaxed, saying that.
And naturally, I hugged her.
"It's been so long since we've been alone like this. You really want to sleep already?"
"...Feels like you're gonna do something naughty."
"But Teacher likes naughty things too."
"That's... true... but...."
"You loved it last time when I scolded you, remember?"
"......."
The moment I said that, Ashley's ears turned red.
Her eyes stayed shut, but she couldn't control her ears turning pink.
If you judged just by looks, Ashley had that cool, aloof vibe like Ivana.
Appearance-wise, at least.
But normally, she always looked half-asleep, so her eyes drooped downward naturally, her head tilted down, giving off the vibe of a lazy little cat who hated moving.
Her chest was far from small, though.
"Pffft...."
"B-but... Camellia is...."
"Yes, Teacher?"
"...Kinda pervy."
"Oh? And Teacher's the one saying that? To me?"
"...I figured you might do it if you could."
"Pffft, fair enough. Even I can't confidently say I'm not a perv. Honestly, I think I might be one too."
"...You know it."
Just like I told Ashley, I was a perv.
I admitted what needed admitting—and I couldn't deny it anyway.
I had seven lovers, and even though their tastes varied a bit, I was fine with all of them.
I could match the super-pervy Ivana who loved getting hit.
I could play along perfectly with Teacher, who got off on being bullied by someone younger.
I'd even done it with my stepmom.
Looking at it this way... yeah, definite perv.
But.
"Teacher's a perv too, saying stuff like that, right?"
"......."
"Remember last time, getting your butt spanked while I scolded you?"
"Eek...."
"You loved it so much you came on your own."
"That time was... my first, so...."
"Were you a virgin?"
"......."
"Oh my...."
Oh dear.
Oh dear....
This was a tiny, tiny bit unexpected.
I'd never seen Ashley hanging out with others or going out alone much.
But a total virgin? Hadn't seen that coming.
With Rozalin, Lize, and the other lovers, I'd noticed a bit of blood during foreplay and known they were virgins.
But with Ashley so far, I'd focused more on play than fingering deep inside.
I rarely went that far in.
"Hmm...."
"W-why...?"
"Just wondering? Why?"
"Oh, no... I... feel kinda scared...?"
"Pffft, it's fine. Won't hurt."
"...Perv."
She said that, but her expression was full of anticipation.
Definite perv on this side too.
"Should I not?"
"........"
"I want to, but if Teacher really doesn't, I won't. I always respect my partner's feelings."
"...I never said I didn't want to."
"Pffft, got it."
What a perv.
A full ten years older, yet loving being dominated by a younger girl.
Of course, that's exactly why I liked her even more.
"Haaah...."
"Eek...?"
"Teacher's body feels so soft.... Nice...."
I pulled Ashley, whom I'd been holding lightly, into a tighter embrace.
Not so tight she couldn't breathe—just stronger than before.
"Feels amazing. Big boobs, squishy butt, whole body all soft and jiggly...."
"Hic...?"
"Pffft, sensitive too."
"Wait... hic... sides tickle... eek...!?"
"Pffft...."
Just lightly tickling Ashley's body got hilarious reactions.
I'd thought this before, but Ashley's body was pervy as hell.
People say small-chested girls are more sensitive...
But our Ashley had huge tits and crazy sensitivity—made it fun.
Come to think of it, Karen was super sensitive too, regardless of her size.
"Mmm...."
"Hic...."
"You're a pervy teacher, but I love you like that. Remember that, okay?"
"I, I know...."
"Even with other lovers, I really like you too. The perv who whimpers getting toyed with by her student and weird skinship—I really like you."
"Th-that never...."
"You're blushing and smiling huge right now?"
"Ah, ah...."
Cute reactions matching her naughty body.
I wanted to go all out right then in the afternoon... but no, had to hold back.
Not just because of the time.
We'd just gotten home, and while Rozalin and Lize had some things to do, jumping Ashley secretly first would feel kinda mean.
She wouldn't get mad if I did, but it'd still hurt them a bit.
"For now, wanna just nap like this? The carriage ride was still kinda uncomfortable, right?"
I proposed that while holding Ashley.
We could save the naughty stuff for nighttime when everyone was together—no issue there.
If anything, I'd never tried group stuff before, so I was looking forward to it.
Not jumping in without discussing, though....
"...Yeah."
"Pffft...."
Honestly, being with two or more partners.
Everyone imagines it once or twice, right?
