Chapter 818
“No. It’s your turn today.”
“Gasp?!”
But when I simply denied it, Vanessa’s body flinched.
I knew it. Honestly, I thought it was a fifty-fifty chance, but it seems I won the gamble.
No, thinking about it with a slightly cooler head, it made sense.
Even if Sara had sent me ahead to prepare some kind of event, for her to not show up by now… it was just taking too long.
And Vanessa, despite saying she was going to use Sara to mess with me, didn’t seem to be paying much attention to what was happening outside while we were having sex.
If she was really planning to use Sara to get revenge on me, she would have been constantly on edge, wondering when Sara would arrive.
But rather than that, Vanessa seemed more satisfied watching me get flustered and fall right into her trap.
And one more thing. Vanessa had taunted me earlier, asking if I was such a coward that I couldn’t even embrace my own woman when she asked me to.
My own woman. In other words, Vanessa was here not as a butler, but as my woman.
And most importantly, I’d definitely cleared the air with her yesterday.
It would be strange for someone with her personality to suddenly decide to get revenge on me now.
That’s why I thought, maybe.
Well, to be fair, when I was lost in the heat of the moment, thrusting away until I came, I wasn’t thinking about any of this. So in the sense that she successfully seduced me, perhaps it was Vanessa’s victory.
In any case, I could finally be free from the fear of Sara showing up at any moment.
That girl, Sara… insisting on going out for dinner, and that knowing smile she gave me as she sent me ahead… she knew all along and deliberately didn’t tell me, didn’t she?
No, if she’d just kept quiet, that would have been one thing. Seeing Vanessa act like this, they probably cooked this up together to mess with me.
It probably wasn’t something as grand as revenge, but maybe just a little thought of, “You should get a taste of it, too.”
“When… haah… did you know?”
“Th-That doesn’t matter!”
Don’t ask such pointed questions!
If you tell Sara on me later, it’ll just be another headache!
“A-Anyway. That standing position with your tail was pretty novel. How did you even come up with that? Were you so upset about how thoroughly I defeated you that you practiced or something?”
There had been almost two weeks between the time I’d tormented her in the dungeon and when I finally soothed her feelings. Maybe she’d practiced during that time.
But just as I was about to soothe her, all that practice was about to go to waste. Then Sara must have suggested this prank, and she probably thought, this is my chance, and decided to try it out.
“……”
Well, that was just my speculation. My dear butler didn’t seem to have any intention of answering.
“In that spirit, one more time…”
“Guwon. Sorry. I’m late. You’re not asleep yet, are you?”
Do it one more time. The moment I was about to ask Vanessa, a knock sounded, and Sara’s voice came from outside.
…H-Huh? Wait a second. Sara’s voice?
The moment I heard it, my mind went completely blank.
“Ngh… Kuh! The h-horns! Please let go!”
Vanessa seemed to be in the same state, shaking her head and crying out in a hurry.
Wow. This might be the first time I’ve ever seen her this flustered.
And these horns, does holding them prevent her from polymorphing? She doesn’t hide them inside her skull, so shouldn’t it be fine? Ah, maybe she needs to concentrate to polymorph, and she can’t focus while I’m touching them.
My mind was so blank that I was just spacing out, thinking about such things.
“Oh? It’s locked?”
Then came the rattling sound of someone trying to turn the doorknob.
H-Huh? I didn’t lock it.
Glancing down, I saw Vanessa’s hand on the lock.
Did she lock it at the last possible second? Nice, Vanessa!
Well, not that it got us out of this crisis.
Why on earth did Sara suddenly show up here? Judging by her reaction, it seemed Vanessa didn’t know either.
No, more importantly, how am I supposed to react?
“Hah. Oh well. Good night, then.”
While I was too stunned to do anything, Sara sighed from outside, then immediately gave up and walked away from the door.
Huh? Wait a minute. What was that all about? She’s not the type to give up that easily.
In other words… she came here on purpose, knowing everything, just to mess with me?
“You little…!”
“Where do you think you’re going in this state!”
As I scrambled to open the door and go outside, Vanessa slammed her hand against it, blocking my way.
So you can still pull off a wall-slam even while you’re clinging to me with me inside you.
No, that’s not what’s important right now.
“Let go! I’ll show her! I’ll show her and make it a threesome!”
“She’s not going to join in if she sees us like this!”
Sara totally would!
I wanted to argue back, but I squeezed out the last of my self-control and held my tongue.
Hoo. Okay. Let’s be patient for now. The good guy, me, will be patient.
“But even for a prank, this is too much. It’s one thing if it’s just me, but to do this without telling you, Vanessa… Today was your first official turn. When I see her tomorrow, I’m going to give her a piece of my mind…”
“Ngh… No. She… did tell me.”
As I suppressed my excitement and made that vow, Vanessa spoke up with strange hesitation.
“…Huh?”
“We planned it together.”
Haha. What is she talking about? That can’t be right. I saw with my own two eyes how unusually flustered you were.
“No, you don’t have to cover for her like that. You were flustered too… No. Wait a minute. Come to think of it, with your butler abilities, you should have known Sara was approaching. There was no need for you to be flustered, was there?”
“……”
Realizing this mid-sentence, I pressed her. Vanessa said nothing and avoided my gaze.
Could it be… this girl? Our perfect butler did that?
“Were you so into it you just forgot?”
“…I did not forget. I simply failed to prepare adequately.”
Vanessa offered a rebuttal to my words, but to my ears, it sounded like the same thing.
In the end, you were so lost in pleasure that you didn’t even notice Sara approaching, and you only barely managed to lock the door at the last second.
“And the reason you failed to prepare was?”
“……Hnngh.”
As I teased her, Vanessa shot me a slightly annoyed look and then suddenly her body began to tremble.
Then, that body slowly began to rise up.
“Huh? What’s this? You’re going to do it again?”
“…Did you not say you wanted me to?”
I see. She must have decided it was better to take the lead herself rather than continue to be teased by me.
“Please do!”
I saw through Vanessa’s intentions, but since there was no downside for me, I immediately stopped teasing and decided to enjoy myself.
“This is the first time it is officially my turn, so I am doing this for you as a special service, for today only.”
Ah, so she was bothered by what I said earlier.
It seemed she felt a little guilty that she had been plotting a prank with Sara when I had been so considerate of her.
Come to think of it, she did confess right away that they had planned it together.
So this was her way of apologizing.
Well, it’s not like I planned on enjoying this amazing thing for just one day, but for now, I’d pretend to agree.
And so, I was able to enjoy sex with Vanessa where she actively participated without melting into a puddle.

The next morning.
Despite the commotion in the middle of the night, I’d had a satisfying evening. I opened my eyes in high spirits and looked at Vanessa, who was on top of me.
Yep. She was asleep. The Vanessa. Normally, she would have been up long before me and gone to work.
Rachel was a bit of a workaholic, but Vanessa was on a whole other level.
But today… Ah, come to think of it, she did say she had cleared her schedule for the afternoon.
Huh? Wait a second. She said that the day before yesterday… which means it was already decided that last night was her turn, right? Which means…
“Honestly, this girl…”
I muttered to myself and lightly pinched Vanessa’s cheek, which was surprisingly soft, a complete contrast to her stiff expression.
How can her expression be so rigid even when she’s sleeping?
“…What is it.”
But at that moment, Vanessa suddenly responded to my words and opened her eyes.
“You scared me. You were awake?”
“Yes.”
“Then why were you pretending to be asleep?”
“……”
Hey. Seriously. Going silent whenever you’re at a disadvantage is a really bad habit, you know?
Now I have to guess, and it’s hard to guess with your poker face.
“You woke up first but didn’t know what to do with me sleeping here?”
“Kuh…”
Of course, the man who can guess correctly anyway is me.
Hmph. You may admire me.
“So, what did you want to say while you thought I was sleeping, Master Guwon?”
Sensing she was at a disadvantage, Vanessa changed the subject.
But Vanessa, my dear. You’re just walking right into a minefield with that question, you know?
“Just that you must really like me.”
“…What is that supposed to mean all of a sudden.”
As I spoke with a smile, Vanessa deliberately made her expression even stiffer as she replied.
“You cleared your schedule for the day after your turn on purpose, didn’t you? You wanted to be with me for that long? Do you like me that much?”
But looking at her, I just smiled even more brightly.
Now, how will you respond this time?
“…Of course I do.”
I watched Vanessa expectantly, but the words that came out of her mouth were a little different from what I had anticipated.
“If I didn’t, I would not be here like this.”
…W-Well, you have a point.
Vanessa answered so deadpan that I, who had been fully prepared to tease her, was left speechless.
Hey. You already rarely show your embarrassed side, so can’t you at least get a little shy at times like this?
I thought that for a brief moment, but I decided to just let it go.
Because I had noticed that the tips of Vanessa’s ears were faintly red.
“Then should we skip breakfast and just keep doing this?”
“No. I believe it is best for you to have a proper meal.”
But Vanessa rejected my suggestion, again with a poker face.
Hey. I’m trying my best to keep the good mood going, isn’t that a bit harsh?
“Aren’t you a little too dedicated to your job?”
“…I was speaking not as a butler, but as your woman.”
Huh? So in other words, she was just genuinely worried about my well-being as my woman?
“Can’t you say things like that a little more gently?”
“…I apologize for being born with this face.”
As I spoke with a sigh, Vanessa turned her head to the side and muttered as if spitting the words out.
Is she pouting?
“Come on. You weren’t born with it. Just yesterday, that melted expression of yours… Mmph!”
As I started to tease her, Vanessa clamped her hand over my mouth to stop me from speaking further.
Hey, resorting to force is a bit much.
When I raised both my hands in a gesture of surrender, Vanessa finally removed the hand covering my mouth.
“Next time, can’t you shut me up with your lips?”
“How about you first try to avoid creating a situation where that would be necessary?”
“Ah, that’s impossible. So please consider shutting me up with your lips.”
“…If I shut you up like that, you’re the only one who benefits, are you not?”
When I immediately said it was impossible, Vanessa replied, her voice tinged with a slight sigh.
“What are you talking about? You like it too.”
“……”
She could have just denied it.
But when it comes to things like this, she’s surprisingly honest.
Anyway, in the end, we called a maid to bring our meal to the room and continued to spend our time together, just the two of us.

Time passed, and when evening came, I sought out Sara before dinner.
“Wh-What? Why?”
Sara, feeling guilty about what she’d done last night, became noticeably anxious as soon as we were alone and refused to meet my gaze.
Don’t worry. Vanessa stepped up and said you planned it together, so I’m not going to say anything about it.
Besides, I’m the one who plays the most pranks.
The only reason I was about to chase after you last night was because I thought you were being inconsiderate of Vanessa on her night, not because you were teasing me.
If I was the only one who got pranked, I’m in no position to criticize someone else for a little joke.
So why did I call Sara over separately? The reason was simple. There was something I wanted to confirm.
“Tonight is really your turn, right?”
“Pfft!”
The moment I asked, Sara, who had been slightly tense, burst out laughing.
“It’s not funny, you brat!”
You try going through that two nights in a row
