The Royal Sisters Worry Over Their Masochistic Little Sister
Dragging his exhausted body, Roman climbed into the carriage. He decided to keep an eye on the Chang Kingdom's situation until the expedition, and after thoroughly savoring Sadat's body, he returned to the mansion. Sadat probably wouldn't be able to get up until tomorrow. After being pounded all night, her back was completely wrecked.
『Sadat auntie… maybe I should have helped midway…』
『Why all of a sudden?』
『Because she looked like she was about to die halfway through. She came so hard she even got a nosebleed.』
『She was satisfied, so it's unnecessary worry.』
『Still, she really did choke and go "Kek, ke, keee~!" at one point. I seriously thought she was dying then.』
『As long as she doesn't die, it's fine. Being able to die on Master's cock is an honorable death for a human.』
『For a moment there, I wondered if she actually died…』
Putting the concerns of the female sword and female pouch behind him, Roman closed his eyes for a bit. It was only about fifteen minutes. Since he'd used a portal, he'd arrived at the territory quickly, but he was still short on sleep.
"—sir. Lord Roman. We've arrived at the mansion."
"Ungaaaa~?"
When he came to, the maid who served as his coachman was shaking his shoulder right in front of him. He recognized her—she was the same coachman maid who'd driven the carriage to the academy on his first day in this world.
"Tsk… mm… ugh… ugh… sleepy… everything hurts so much my balls are shriveling up…"
"Please wake up. Something seems to be happening at the mansion, so you should check it yourself."
"Ugh… the mansion?"
"Yes. Everyone's moving around in a commotion."
What now? Thinking it was annoying, he stood up abruptly and looked outside. The carriage was parked in the courtyard. All he could see were maids frantically tending the garden, others setting up a tea table outdoors and chattering, and among them, Tania—now out of her bunny outfit and wearing a pretty dress—running around.
"Ah, what the hell is this~! Did we get guests or something?!"
"I don't know either."
Just as he was about to snap at her for not knowing, he realized he was irritable from lack of sleep. That won't do… He had to be gentle with the mansion's people, even if not with others. Immediately, he raised his index finger and cast 「Insomnia's Curse」 on himself.
"Ugh!"
"Lord Roman?!"
"Ugh, it's nothing. I just shot myself to wake up a bit, so don't worry."
"Still, you're a precious person…!"
What he'd cast was the memory of when he'd used energy drinks to stay awake during overtime. That sharp, indescribable sensation when he'd finished writing reports all night and greeted the dawn— a mix of refreshment and discomfort.
"Thanks to that, I'm a bit more awake. I'll go check it out myself, so you go do your work."
"Ah, understood. Have a pleasant day."
His body still lacked strength, but his mind was starting to function normally. Since he had the pouch on him anyway, he stuck his hand into Lacunatis's pouch, scooped up some water, and washed his face.
『Are you all right?』
"I'm fine, I said. More importantly, who could this unannounced guest visiting our household be? If it were an ordinary guest, the kids would've just chased them off, so why is everyone so busy…"
『Who knows. From my perspective, all humans except Master are the same…』
After patting the pouch, he stepped forward. The others seemed to notice him and hurriedly bowed their heads.
"Lord Roman!"
"Welcome back!"
"Did you just return?!"
Shaking the water from his face, he corrected his tone.
"Yes, I just got back. But what's all this commotion since morning? Looks like you're preparing to receive guests… Don't tell me the eunuchs again?"
"No! It's a guest from another country!"
"From where?"
"Chapel!"
"Tania's older sisters have arrived! They're princesses, actual princesses! We were so surprised when they suddenly showed up~?!"
"Tania got scolded terribly after wandering around the mansion without a clue!"
Huh… huh…? Tania's sisters? He fell into thought, wondering if they'd made plans to meet. 'Come to think of it, last time… we did make plans to meet… meet… meet…?' Then he suddenly remembered when he'd had cigarette sex with Lady Perpena. Back then, the letter Tania had sent (because of him) after being sold to Chapel.
『p.s. My sisters want to meet you and asked to set up a schedule. You can ignore it. No need to deal with those bad sisters~☆』
The last line had definitely been like that… At the time, he hadn't thought much of it… But during the recent fiancée incident too…
『Out of 287 applicants excluding exceptions, 10 were eliminated early, 40 applied for the knight order, 1 was specially hired, and the remaining 236 became pussy attendants~♡』
『We'll be short on people as expected, so should we recruit more?』
『Even if they're just attendants, we've accepted quite a few noble young ladies and merchants' daughters, so any more than this… For the shortage, Kabala asked us to use her own children. What do you think about hearing her out~?』
『Come to think of it, she said her tribe got captured in Chapel when they crossed over with her. Since Tania's there anyway, maybe I should ask her to negotiate.』
『Then shall I ask Princess Tania~?』
『I'll be talking here, so I'll leave it to you.』
『Nehe, got it~♡』
—Ah. So he'd been the one who called them.
"Lord Roman?"
"…It's fine. Once the table is set, everyone can step back. I'll handle receiving the guests myself."
"But you must be tired after working all night."
"They said they'll stay for a few days, so you could set another date…"
"It's fine."
After saying it was fine twice, everyone bowed and left. Even if he was tired, he wasn't the only one, and since everyone was busy, there was no need to make them handle the reception. Fortunately, he had an external fatigue recovery agent attached, so there was no problem.
"Ahaha~! Darling!"
"Tania."
The bright concubine who could dispel all accumulated fatigue threw herself into his arms. The dress suited her well. Even so, the bunny ears on her head—perhaps her last shred of pride.
"Hey hey hey~! Did you hear?!"
"Your sisters came, right."
"Yeah yeah yeah~! Seriously, my sisters are too much~! As soon as they arrived, they grabbed Tania's hair and went 「What the hell do you look like!」 and ordered her to change clothes! Even though Tania said this outfit was the best here, they just yelled and spanked her butt?!"
Then she showed him the spanked butt. Two buttocks flushed red. The pose of sticking out her rear and slightly lifting her dress was quite erotic. But the timing was bad.
"Yaaaaah!! Taniaaa! You stupid girl! How many minutes has it been since I told you not to do that outside, and you're causing trouble again~?!"
"Hey, I told you not to do that?! What the hell kind of indecent thing are you doing outside!! Have you finally lost the screws in your brain?!"
"—Hugya?!"
Suddenly, two blonde sisters rushed over and spanked her buttocks again with a smack smack!, and her skirt hem was pulled down. So they'd been behind her.
"Seriously, I'm going crazy! I was already worried about you more than enough, but why are you like this really!"
"You! You're Sir Cornelius, right?! The man who made our Tania like this!! What the hell did you do to make her…… No, let's introduce ourselves first!"
…The sparks flew his way.
"I'm the eldest daughter, Cecil Chapel! And this is—"
"The second daughter, Sabrina! Nice to meet you, though it's not really~!"
Their sharp tones were similar, so he wondered if they were twins too, but their appearances differed. While Tania was a blonde gyaru who suited side tails, the eldest Cecil was a typical blonde noble. Unlike her blue-eyed younger sister, she had red eyes. Her hair was straight, and she wore a small tiara and a black dress. She looked to be in her early thirties. Her figure was good, and through her body scent, she gave off the vibe of a married woman.
Next to her, the second daughter Sabrina, who seemed influenced by Tania, was also a blonde gyaru type. She had green eyes and let her blonde hair fly messily. Her dress, matching her sister's set, was a shorter white one, and her makeup was flashy. She didn't seem much different in age from Cecil, and she also seemed like a married woman.
"Yes… I'm Roman Cornelius. I sincerely welcome the two jewels of Chapel visiting our Cornelius territory…"
"We don't need those formal greetings~! Here, take this!"
"……?"
The eldest Cecil handed him a document. A contract.
"What is this?"
"What do you mean, you requested the beastkin! We've been so busy preparing for their migration, you didn't forget, did you?!"
Kabala's kids, huh. So the migration meant they'd already been brought over?
"But there was no one at the entrance…"
"The migration destination is near the village being built by the lake, right! We looked around on the way here! We were so surprised because it seemed like it would make a lot of money~! Ah, once it's finished later, we should come for a hot spring bath too~!!"
"—Sister."
"Ahem! Anyway, we came because of this, but at the same time, we came to see how Tania is doing and check on our little sister? But what is this! The kid's wandering around half-naked! The head of the house left his precious little sister behind and went to banquets! Plus, when we looked around the mansion, there were crazy women working half-naked! When we opened the office door, there were five women sticking their butts out on the desk! We don't understand what we saw, and Tania keeps acting like that~! I'm so angry I could die really~!"
'So they saw Nigilia and the beastkin queen's kids.'
It would've been nice if they'd either gotten angry or talked, but they seemed unable to sort out their feelings. It was normal for them to be angry, but Tania was still clinging to his side, and they probably couldn't understand why she liked a guy like him.
"What about King Silvain of Chapel…?"
"Don't even mention that man! He's the kind of person who'd say to just leave her be because of money even while worrying about Tania! This time too, he tried to come himself but we stopped him and came instead, Sabrina and I!"
"No matter how much it's for the country, Father is really too much~! Our marriages were basically political, and even Tania, who we at least gave affection to, ended up like this~! Uuuuuu~!!"
He'd heard the king had a strong merchant temperament from various places. If even his daughters evaluated him like this, he might be a remarkable person in multiple ways.
"B-but! Sisters! Tania has said several times that she likes doing this—"
""—Be quiet!""
"Hiee?!"
Compared to that, were the daughters normal? Remembering the contents of Tania's letter, her sisters often teased her, but that might also be an act born of affection.
"Our household is a bit unique."
"A little~?"
"…Quite excessively."
After clearing his throat and calming the atmosphere, he lowered himself to the tea table first. The sisters sat beside him in a row, and Tania naturally sat on his lap, hiding her head in his embrace.
"As you can see, she's following along so well, so what's the problem?"
"You're not really asking because you don't know, right?"
"If that's the case, should I flip the table?"
"No no… It's not that we're really asking… It's a more fundamental question. Even if she's following along so well, nothing changes just because we're angry. It's not like we're telling you to divorce her either. From my perspective, I want to maintain a good relationship with Chapel, so I accepted Tania and we're getting along well and being affectionate, but if you interfere from the outside, it feels a bit off…"
"That affection is abnormal!"
"We had no choice but to have political marriages because of Father and live with those pigs, but… we hoped Tania would at least have a love marriage and be happy?"
"Tania is happy, though…?"
"That happiness is abnormal!!"
"Ugh…"
She buried her head in his embrace again to hide, so he hugged her and yawned. Stroking her blonde hair felt good. He wanted to just sleep in the sunlight like this, but he shook off his drowsiness and nodded.
"I understand you want some moderation, but you shouldn't interfere from the outside either way. People's fetishes are all different, and they live according to what matches. To put it bluntly, that standard of happiness is your standard, not Tania's."
"You speak so well. After treating my little sister like a wallet and selling her as a slave."
"You know that if it weren't the Cornelius household, it would've been the death penalty?"
"I know. That's why I did it, and Tania enjoyed it too. In the end, that's what that fetish is."
Strictly speaking, Tania belonged to the side that had been corrupted by his cock, but there was no need to bring that up. Since they hadn't come to pick a fight either, he drank his tea first to ease the atmosphere, and their anger subsided.
"……Ha, let's find a compromise."
"Yes. Say whatever you want."
"For example, could you refrain from letting Tania do things that would get her criticized like before? Sending the kid naked to the royal castle was beyond abnormal—it was crazy."
"I reflect on that. I probably won't do it twice."
"Probably?"
"Because if Tania wants it, she'll do it."
"…………"
"Ugh…"
The two of them clutched their heads and glared at Tania. She was still in his embrace, but at her sisters' gazes, she awkwardly nodded.
"T-Tania won't do it either… I only did it back then because that was the mood…"
"Then what if Sir Cornelius asks you to do it again?"
"…I probably would?"
"Ah, this crazy little sister really!!"
"Have you really gone crazy from the taste of men?!"
"Hiii~! Menopausal aunties are bullying meee~!!"
"Who's a menopausal auntie!"
"This cheeky thing! Want me to rip out your hair once?!"
They reached across the table and caused a ruckus, but even while screaming "Kyaa kyaa," Tania didn't leave his side. They didn't seem serious either, so he just let it be and yawned again. Then the second daughter Sabrina glared at him disapprovingly.
"Does our little sister look like a toy to you?"
"If she were a toy, I'd have treated her much worse, so you can rest assured on that point."
"For example?"
"There's no need to give examples when you've already seen it."
"That… well…"
Since they'd said they looked around the mansion while he was away, if she were really a toy, there was no way they wouldn't know what kind of treatment that entailed.
"I know you're threatening me because you're worried about your cute little sister, but nothing you two are worried about will ever happen. She's obedient and devoted enough to personally feed me one-handed cooked meals, so why would I abandon her. It's true we play somewhat abnormally, but it's mutually agreed upon with Tania, and I'll keep her happy until the end, so you can rest assured on that part."
"You'd say anything with that smooth tongue. Even without that, the situation in Tevere is unsettling, and knowing our sister is here makes us more worried than you can imagine."
"That's right. We also heard rumors that the Chang Kingdom is on the verge of civil war or something. And on top of that, we heard Sir Cornelius received women from the Chang Kingdom?"
…So this was the main point. It seemed they wanted to hear about the Chang Kingdom while bringing Kabala's tribe.
"What's the reason you're telling me this?"
"We heard. Recently, a eunuch visited here, right?"
"Princess Sunho is also Tania's childhood friend, and we're worried that with Sir Cornelius's standards, the two of them might be separated forever…"
"So you're even managing your little sister's friend now."
"…Is that bad?"
There was deep affection, but other intentions were visible. Was the merchant temperament not just the father's but also here?
"It's not bad, but…… No, to get to the point, the Xiao Mao sisters aren't bombs. It's true the eunuch came, but as long as Tania and the twins are here, they have no intention of siding with the eunuch. Above all, I've already taken measures regarding the Chang Kingdom, so you don't need to worry."
"Really now."
"We know you're a skilled spirit master, but we don't think you can do anything against the Chang Kingdom?"
If he couldn't do it, he'd just use the woman who could, but he had no intention of revealing his cards here.
"Whether my words are false or true, time will judge."
"What if it doesn't work out?"
"If it doesn't work out, then it doesn't. I'm not from the Chang Kingdom either, so would I take responsibility if it fails? If the Chang Kingdom gets overturned, the ones in trouble are the other four great nations, so they'll handle it themselves. Or you two who worry about Princess Sunho… wouldn't you handle it better than me?"
"You think Chapel will move if civil war breaks out?"
"What's your basis?"
"Every time we negotiate, we get nitpicked and fed absurd claims by those egg-shaped things with limbs, versus an inexperienced emperor who at least talks like a person—which one do you think is more valuable as a trading partner?"
"Well, we're Chapel. If you put it that way, we have nothing to say."
"Father must have had the same thought, surely."
When he picked up his tea, the sisters did too and took a break for a moment. Haa… sleepiness came. He'd dispelled the fatigue with the curse, but it wasn't a fundamental solution.
"…We'll say it again—please take good care of Tania, and at this opportunity, we'd like to receive a promise."
"What kind of promise are you talking about."
"This time, we returned the tribesmen without any compensation. Even the payment for the beastkin queen mostly came from Tania's wallet, so it's no different from our Chapel having paid. —Isn't that right?"
"That's correct, but are you demanding compensation for that now?"
"No, rather than compensation, a promise—that's what we brought up."
"What we're asking is just one thing. When the Cornelius household expands its sales channels, consult with us. At that time, we'd like you to use Tania as the channel to increase her standing within the household."
To wake himself up, he took out a cigarette from his embrace and lit it. He understood them worrying about Tania, but he was puzzled about the sales channels.
"Huu, all of a sudden?"
"Lately, the influence of the Cornelius household is growing day by day, isn't it."
"All the women we sent disappeared somewhere, and there's an uproar about it."
"You mean the group of fiancées who were sent last time."
"We don't know what method you used, but all the kids we sent to seduce men ended up absorbed into the Cornelius household saying they'd found new happiness, so how could we stay still?"
"Their influence grows, the women we send all submit—what can we do about it, so we need to at least get a promise. While we're at it, we might as well give our little sister something to do so she doesn't just crouch in her new home."
…Busy people. Worried about Tania, worried about the Chang Kingdom, worried about what was happening because of their household—these two had great concerns about Tania getting involved with Cornelius. Their household had gone too far… Was that the evidence they could see?
"A household with two great spirits is doing something, but we can't see their true intentions and it's too scary. So from now on, when you do something, discuss it with Chapel's side. There's also the connection called Tania, and since they're a merchant family?"
"Were you offended?"
"It would be less offensive than Tania walking around in that state. I'm fine with it. There's no reason to refuse if you're mediating, and I have no particular intention of expanding sales channels anyway."
"But there was that wonderful lake."
"We heard all sorts of strange things are caught in the lake that the Great Spirit made…"
"I have no intention of exporting that. We don't even know what's coming out yet… Strictly speaking, it's treated as a specialty product, so I plan to sell only a few types there once the village is completed. The effects would be similar to the golden wheat we sell, so export isn't possible."
"Hmm…"
"Still…"
"It could be used to boost morale or for treatment during the upcoming expedition, so if needed, should we distribute some?"
"…Once the effects are confirmed."
"Since we're going on a large-scale expedition soon and need outsiders too… if you're giving…"
Exhaling smoke, he nodded. Then, thinking there was nowhere to throw away the cigarette, he looked down at Tania.
"Ah, beee~♪"
"Thank you."
Since she stuck out her tongue, he placed the cigarette there and put it out.
"—Unghet♡ Ehe♡ Ehe♡ Ehe♡ Uuuuuu, ung, gulp~♪"
He made her extinguish the fire with her tongue and swallow the cigarette, but she showed no discomfort. Rather, she contentedly rubbed her cheek against him in his embrace, which only irritated her sisters.
"Whether we can really trust you…"
"Haa… Tania…"
Now they seemed tired of getting angry. No matter how much they ranted, since Tania herself liked this treatment, the sisters had no choice but to lose their spirit.
"Then I'll stop here… As you can see, I just got back and I'm so tired that if I continue, I'll start talking nonsense. If you're not returning right away, I'll guide you to a room, so how about we talk again later?"
"No, we'll return. If we stay here any longer, we'll go crazy from the yin energy."
"Since Tania said she's happy… we still can't accept it, but for now, we'll let it pass."
"Is that so."
"Then regarding the Chang Kingdom, and also the sales channels, we'll report to Father, so please take good care of our Tania."
"…Whether we ask or not, looking at her state, Tania would probably laugh even if all her hair was shaved off."
It was an imagination he didn't particularly want, but since it would probably be true, he answered with a short laugh.
"Then we'll be going. Don't really disgrace our royal family, okay?"
"Don't make our eyes roll back. Got it?"
"Yes, yeees…"
With those words, the princesses of Chapel greeted Tania once more and left discreetly. For uninvited guests who'd suddenly appeared, they were people with incredibly deep familial love. At least compared to the eunuch idiots, they carried more burdens and had more worries—women steeped in their own positions.
"Come to think of it, your sisters told you not to visit the royal castle often, didn't they."
"Ung… Because there are a lot of black-hearted people in the royal castle, so they said not to get used and to live freely…"
It was a story he'd heard before too.
"They're good people."
"Right~? The only flaw is that they speak a bit harshly!"
Thinking they at least weren't people who would become enemies, he yawned nonchalantly and returned to the mansion. Taking Tania, who followed him closely, he dove into bed. Trying to forget the day's fatigue, he fell asleep using their blonde gyaru as a hugging pillow—but right after waking up, he sensed that a major incident had occurred.
