Chapter 566: The Butler's True Feelings
And so, just like yesterday, I found myself enjoying my harem at home today.
…Well, to be precise, the feeling is a little different from yesterday.
But still, this isn't so bad in its own way.
No. Saying that would be an insult to all the men in the world.
Right. It’s good. It’s definitely good, but…
I looked around and let out a sigh before I could stop myself.
How did it come to this?
“Master Guwon. Do you have a moment?”
“Thank you, Goddess! Yes! Come in!”
Just then, I heard a knock on my door. It was Vanessa.
Her voice was as blunt as ever, but to me, it sounded like an angelic harmony sent by the Goddess herself.
If I could just talk to someone, anyone, this situation might get a little better.
Although, I couldn't really imagine Vanessa talking to me for that long.
“Then, excuse me… Hah!”
Vanessa opened my door with a business-like demeanor, but she gasped softly and stopped dead in her tracks the moment she saw me.
Her cold gaze was fixed on one spot.
To be precise, on my crotch.
“I’m just saying this in case you get the wrong idea, but she’s asleep.”
“…I am aware.”
No, don’t lie to me. No matter how expressionless you are, I can tell that much just by looking at you.
You were definitely misunderstanding until I said something.
What’s the situation, you ask? It’s simple.
Just like yesterday, all the girls were clinging to me today, treating me as if they were nursing me back to health.
However, I had told them myself that I was fine, and I’d been acting perfectly normal.
So, as expected, the girls weren't treating me like a seriously ill patient anymore.
And from what I heard, they had all gathered in Diana’s room last night and stayed up for most of the night.
That, of course, included Silvia, who had been tumbling around with me all night without a break.
Are you starting to get the picture?
That’s right. All the girls were currently clinging to me, fast asleep.
At first, Silvia was just clinging to me and trembling, so I thought I could at least kill some time by talking to her.
But perhaps she was exhausted from last night’s events, despite the effects of Healing Sex, because eventually, Silvia fell asleep too.
Well, I can’t deny the possibility that she just passed out from too much pleasure.
In any case, thanks to all this, I had been lying here on the bed for hours, stuck in this exact position, unable to move a muscle.
You might ask, since I didn't get any sleep last night either, why don't I just go to sleep?
If only it were that easy, I would love to.
But just think about it.
To my left, Matilda was using my arm as a pillow, pressing her voluminous chest against my body. To my right, Silvia was doing the same.
Well, I couldn't feel any chest on my right side, but still.
Anyway, Diana was curled up in a ball, sleeping right on top of my torso, and Leia was sitting at the head of the bed, giving me a lap pillow as she slept.
For the record, her large breasts were creating a natural sunshade effect, which was quite magnificent.
Moreover, every time Leia breathed, they traced an elegant curve, moving slowly up and down… If I could, I’d want to latch onto them this very instant.
And finally, the matter of my crotch, where Vanessa’s gaze was fixed.
Sara is sleeping between my legs.
No, at first, she was just using my thigh as a pillow.
But you know how people toss and turn in their sleep, right?
Well, it’s like that.
Ugh. Sara. That’s not food!
Are you dreaming about eating something?
I know how soft your lips are, so could you please stop rubbing them like that?
That spot is sensitive, even through my pants.
So, for reasons like that, I was wide awake, battling my worldly desires.
Is this some new form of torture?
On top of that, when I lifted my head slightly to look at Vanessa, Leia hugged my head tightly in her sleep.
I could feel an incredibly soft sensation on the top of my head.
Aargh! Sara! I told you, that’s not food!
I mean, I’m sorry it ended up looking like I’m shoving it in your mouth because it got bigger, but still!
“Ahem! Ahem! Ahem! So, what is it?”
Ever since I dispelled Felicia’s aura, Vanessa had been avoiding eye contact with me.
Well, she still did her job properly, despite all that.
In any case, for her to come all this way, she must have some business with me.
“A gift.”
“A gift? From you?”
“……”
“…Right. Who’s it from?”
I get it, you’d never give me a gift, so stop looking at me like that.
I may not look it, but I’m a pretty sensitive soul.
“It is from Lady Rachel.”
As she spoke, Vanessa held out her hands.
I hadn't noticed since I was lying in bed with my head barely lifted, but she was holding a basket full of fruit.
In other words, a typical get-well-soon gift.
I see. I guess I made her worry when I left the Guild like that yesterday.
But then why did she just send a gift instead of coming to see me in person?
Was she too busy with Guild work to come herself, so she had someone else deliver it for now?
“…She was lingering in front of the mansion, so I spoke to her. She handed me the basket she was holding and then hastily disappeared.”
As if reading my thoughts from my expression, Vanessa stated this in a voice even more devoid of emotion than usual.
But her answer only deepened the mystery.
If she came all the way here, why did she run away without coming inside?
Surely it wasn't because she felt intimidated by Diana’s mansion or something like that.
Maybe someone else, but not Rachel.
Diana seemed to be quite close with the Guild Master.
Rachel herself seemed to know Diana quite well, and from the way she spoke, it seemed Vanessa was also an acquaintance.
Then, since she and I are in that so-called ‘something’ phase, was she intimidated by my girls?
No, I don’t think that’s it either.
Rachel knows full well that my girls aren't the type to give someone a hard time for visiting me.
Even if that weren't the case, Rachel has a surprisingly bold side to her.
Besides, if she were intimidated by my girls, she wouldn't even be able to chat with me at the Guild.
They’re usually watching from behind me there, after all.
And she even went to a cafe with Sara before.
If you were to judge by looks alone, Sara is the most intimidating of all my girls. She has the whole ‘cold city beauty’ look down.
Since Rachel could talk to even Sara without any issue, being intimidated by the girls couldn't be the reason.
Then what is it? Why give me a gift and run away?
No matter how much I thought about it, the mystery remained unsolved.
I guess I’ll have to ask her myself later.
“Well then, I shall be on my way.”
While I was lost in thought, Vanessa placed the fruit basket on the bedside table and turned to leave the room.
Seeing this, I hurriedly called out to stop her.
“Wait! Stop!”
“…What is it?”
Lately, she’d been ignoring most of what I said, so I was worried she’d just walk out, but thankfully, Vanessa stopped this time.
“Help me.”
“…With what?”
“With this situation. Help me get free so I can move.”
“……Hmph.”
After staring at me for a moment with an expressionless gaze, Vanessa let out a strange sound that could have been a snort or a scoff and turned to leave again.
That— I’ve had about enough of this! Is that any way for a butler to act?!
But I was the one in a bind.
I wracked my brain, trying to find a way to resolve this situation.
I need to come up with some task that will make her stop.
Right! There was something I was curious about… no. Of course I’m curious, but asking that question in this situation is dangerous.
Then what should I do…
“Stop.”
“……”
In my desperation, I just gave a command, and surprisingly, Vanessa stopped in her tracks.
Though she still had her back to me.
And in that brief moment of silence, I managed to think of something that would force Vanessa to help me.
“I… I think I’m gonna piss myself.”
“……Pardon?”
Vanessa turned back towards me, raising an eyebrow in question.
But I continued my lie without batting an eye.
“I haven’t been to the bathroom in hours, and I’m about to burst. You can imagine what a catastrophe it would be if I let go in this situation, right? So help me. Quickly. It’s urgent.”
“……Haaah.”
At my urgent tone, Vanessa’s gaze once again fixed on my crotch. Then, as if she had no choice, she shook her head once and walked towards me.
It seemed that with her esteemed master lying on top of me, even Vanessa couldn't just walk away without helping.
Well, if I did piss myself in this position, Sara would suffer the most damage.
Vanessa seemed to know this well, as she dealt with Sara first, not Diana.
She carefully lifted Sara’s head so as not to wake her and…
“…Hah!”
She let out a short gasp and started glaring at me.
The reason was simple. Her hand had touched my thing.
Sara’s face was buried in my crotch, so to lift her head, her hand inevitably had to touch my crotch as well.
But I had an excuse for this.
“Hey, come on. I’m a guy. It’d be weirder if I didn’t get hard in this situation.”
“…But the tip is wet.”
Despite my excuse, Vanessa didn’t stop glaring at me.
No, her eyes grew even fiercer as she held out her hand.
“Huh? Hey, hey. That’s not mine. It’s drool. Drool.”
“……”
Sara must have been dreaming about eating something, because she was nibbling on my thing with her lips.
But seeing as she was still glaring at me, Vanessa didn't seem to believe my excuse at all.
Still, it seemed she was going to help. Vanessa once again placed her hand on Sara’s face, lifted it slightly, and carefully changed her position to rest on a pillow so she wouldn't wake up.
In the process, Vanessa’s hand brushed against my thing several times, and it was quite terrifying how she would grind her teeth every time I flinched reflexively.
Thankfully, she didn't lose her mind and do any harm to my Dick.
And just as she had with Sara, she successfully freed my arms from under Silvia and Matilda, who were sleeping on either side of me, and replaced them with pillows.
Finally, she gently unwrapped Leia’s arms from around my head. As I sat up, she moved Diana from my torso and laid her down with her head on Leia’s lap. With that, I was at last free from that heavenly prison.
“Phew. Thanks. You saved me.”
“…Just go to the bathroom already.”
“Huh? Oh, that was a lie.”
Grind.
The moment I answered, Vanessa ground her teeth and clenched her fists.
I’m telling you, that’s scary.
Is a butler even allowed to act like that?
I mean, well, I feel a little bad for making her touch that, even if it was unintentional.
“M-More importantly, Vanessa. I have something to tell you.”
Before Vanessa could explode, I quickly decided to change the subject.
It was true that I had something to say.
I’d been curious about something for a while, but I’d been holding back because this wasn't the place to talk about it.
I grabbed Vanessa’s wrist and hurried out of the room.
I expected her to resist, but other than a slight flinch when I grabbed her wrist, Vanessa followed my lead without a word.
“…So, what is it that you wanted to say.”
Only after we moved to an empty room did Vanessa speak, her cold tone matching the glare she gave me.
Her expression and tone were as frosty as could be, but for some reason, her body seemed to be fidgeting restlessly.
