Chapter 1370. Fun Home / After Bath

「 Well, I’m sure that you’ll be fine even if you get a hundred more women 」

Kyouko-san tells me as she stretches out of the bathtub.

「 Minaho sure found an amusing kid. Not many men have broken through their tolerance limits 」

True, we’re definitely more broken than most people.

I’m aware of that.

「 Hey, Papa, wash me 」

Mao-chan comes over and tells me.

「 Yeah, got it 」

I get out of the bathtub and wash Mao-chan.

I put soap on the sponge and scrubbed it. Careful not to scrub with too much force so it doesn’t hurt the toddler’s skin.

「 Ehehe, that tickles 」

The thirteen a.s.sa.s.sins are watching me as I wash Mao-chan.

「 How about the hair? 」

「 Of course! 」

I also did the shampoo and conditioner.

「 Close your eyes, this stings 」

「 I know that, Papa 」

Mao-chan doesn’t fuss around when I wash her.

She’s letting me wash her obediently.

「 Yeah, that’s a good girl 」

「 Obviously, I’m Papa’s daughter! 」

Mao-chan smiles.

The warm water from the shower washes Mao-chan’s hair clean.

「 Okay, we’re done 」

「 Thanks, Papa! Hey, who wants to get washed next? 」

Mao-chan goes to Agnes.

Usually, I go and wash the small girls in turns.

So, Mao-chan goes to Agnes right away.

It’s usually Agnes’ turn since she’s spoiled.

「 Karen-chan can go first 」

But, Agnes gave the turn to Karen.

I mean, Karen’s a shy girl so…

She usually washes herself than having me do it for her.

「 That’s right, Karen-chan, let Onii-san do it for you 」

Luna, who’s watching the former a.s.sa.s.sins, tells Karen.

Luna’s looking at Karen’s thoughts too.

「 I-I… 」

「 Come here, Karen 」

I called Karen.

「 Y-Yes, excuse me 」

The young lady comes to me bashfully.

「 I’ll just wash your back. That’s okay, right 」

I said.

「 No, please do as you want Kuromori-sama 」

Karen replies as my slave.

「 Either way, I’ll just go with your back. Sit down 」

「 Okay 」

Karen sits on the plastic chair in front of me.

Women’s backs are such a wonder.

No matter the age, the round b.u.t.ts shaking are just s.e.xy.

「 Did something happen? 」

I ask while rubbing Karen’s small back with the sponge.

「 What do you want me to do? 」

Karen doesn’t respond.

「 Talk. That’s an order. You’re my woman so don’t worry about it. Speak 」

「 Yes… 」

Karen readies herself and started talking.

「 It’s about my cousin, uhm 」

「 Cousin? 」

「 A girl from a branch family. I have a cousin who goes to the same school as us 」

Karen turned to me and said.

Her eyes say she’s serious.

Karen is the daughter of the head family of Mizus.h.i.+ma house.

From what I heard, Mizus.h.i.+ma house doesn’t have that high of status among the n.o.bility, but still

It’s an old family so they also have branch families.

「 Though she’s from the branch family, she’s not my attendant. Her family has one of the best-performing companies among the clan. Her father is a talented man. That’s why she can attend our school 」

Jii-chan and Kaan-san run that school to protect the young ladies of n.o.bility.

That’s why the priorities are the daughters of the main house, their attendants, and bodyguards.

Other daughters of good families who are equivalent to the n.o.bility can also become students of that school if they pa.s.s the screening process of Jii-chan and Kaan-san.

That includes Mariko, the daughter of the president of Torii electronics, then Erica, the daughter of the head of the country’s leading accounting and auditing firms.

I mean, there’s only a limited number of daughters of n.o.bility since there are only a few of them.

So most of the students are within that frame, but…

So, even a daughter of the branch family of the Mizus.h.i.+ma house can also attend the school if she pa.s.sed the screening.

「 What’s the name of that cousin of yours? 」

I asked.

「 Mizus.h.i.+ma Noelle, she’s in her second year in middle school 」

That means she’s two years older than Karen.

「 So, what about that girl? 」

「 Well, uhm 」

Karen hesitates.

「 Speak 」

I tickled Karen’s armpit.

「 Kyan~ 」

「 If you don’t talk then who knows what I might do 」

「 O-Okay 」

Karen…

「 Noelle-san’s angry… 」

「 Angry? At who? 」

「 Well…my situation 」

Karen’s situation.

「 Mizus.h.i.+ma house behaved with great disrespect to Kouzuki-sama and other n.o.ble families, and so we were punished 」

During the garden party in the Kouzuki mansion, where the daughters of the n.o.bility have gathered…

Mizus.h.i.+ma house allowed Tendou Otome, an underling of Kansai Yakuza, to sneak in.

That put the daughters of n.o.bility in danger and tarnished the honor of the Kouzuki house, the host of the party.

「 It’s a serious crime 」

Karen said.

「 Yeah, Mizus.h.i.+ma house is still recognized as a n.o.ble family, but their status has fallen to the lowest, hasn’t it? 」

Still, that’s better than the Kurama house, a family that’s kicked out of the n.o.bility.

「 So, this Noelle girl is angry that Mizus.h.i.+ma house’s status has fallen low? 」

She’s from the branch family, but still a member of the clan. So she’s frustrated that the house’s status has been lowered?

「 That’s not the case, although I think it has an influence on it 」

Karen said.

「 I think that the shame on Mizus.h.i.+ma house has also shamed Noelle-san in school 」

Right, her relations.h.i.+p with the daughters of n.o.bility and other students may have changed.

「 But, more than that, Noelle-san’s angry with the adults in the main house, and Kouzuki-sama 」

Huh?

「 She’s angry that the Kouzuki House chose me to serve them 」

Oh, I see.

It was the head of the house, Karen’s grandfather who agreed to let Tendou Otome enter the Kouzuki mansion.

Karen had no say on it.

She just came to the Kouzuki mansion with Tendou Otome just as her Grandfather told her to.

Yet, Karen took responsibility for the incident and became Misuzu’s va.s.sal nominally.

In fact, she’s my s.e.x slave.

「 The daughter of the branch family can’t accept the idea of becoming a va.s.sal of another n.o.ble family, even if it is the Kouzuki house 」

To the branch families, Karen is the princess of their clan.

They can’t accept the idea that she’s become Misuzu’s servant.

「 She’s angry at Grandfather, and the adults in the main house for letting it happen, and at Kouzuki-sama for giving the punishment 」

From her perspective, it would seem that the adults are tormenting the innocent Karen with their absurd reasoning.

「 If this continues, it may develop into some kind of a major problem. So, I want to talk to Noelle-san before that happens, but… 」

Karen-san says. I…

「 No, that’s not all, right? 」

I hear a different tone in Karen’s voice.

「 What? 」

「 It’s not just Noelle, right? Karen, what about you? 」

I hugged Karen from behind and asked.

「 People often project their feelings to other people. They say that “this guy said that “it’s not good”” when they’re the ones thinking that 」

What does Karen think?

For a young girl to carry the crimes of the Mizus.h.i.+ma house on her shoulders.

「 No, of course, it’s true that the girl from the branch family is angry. They feel sorry for Karen, the daughter of the main house. They’re angry at the adults in the Mizus.h.i.+ma house, and Jii-chan, maybe, they’re also angry at Misuzu and Ruriko, right? 」

That’s what Karen is most worried about.

Even if she’s a daughter of the branch family, Mizus.h.i.+ma Noelle can’t rebel against Jii-chan, the head of the Kouzuki house.

However, Misuzu and Ruriko are in the same school as hers.

She witnesses Karen following Misuzu as a va.s.sal.

If that’s the case, her anger must be pointing at Misuzu too.

「 No, they can’t be discourteous to Misuzu and Ruriko…That means, they’re going after Agnes, Luna, Koyomi-chan, Haiji, Yomi, or Michi? 」

If they can’t make a move on the young ladies of the Kouzuki house.

So, they’ll target the servants and bodyguards instead.

A half-hearted status of being a branch family of n.o.bility getting overbearing with the servants.

「 Even so, Karen’s feelings are also important. So, how do you feel? What do you want to do? 」

To be honest, my women are strong, even the younger ones.

As long as they know that there’s a problem, we can deal with it in many ways.

Michi and Haiji have sharp intuition. We also have the girls with the Miko power.

That aside.

「 Karen, are you unsatisfied with your current condition? 」

Karen.

「 I’m satisfied living in this mansion. I know that Kuromori-sama and everyone’s kind to me, and I’m thankful from the bottom of my heart 」

Then, she whispers.

「 I’m also getting used to s.e.x. I’ve accepted that I’m serving Kuromori-sama and eventually giving birth to your child like everyone else. I feel happy that I’m a member of the family. However 」

She looks at me with her wet eyes.

「 I’m not convinced with the Mizus.h.i.+ma house. I feel like my Grandfather and my relatives had abandoned me 」

「 I see 」

I rub Karen’s back.

「 I think it’s normal for Karen to think that way 」

The Mizus.h.i.+ma house hasn’t contacted Karen at all.

They never ask to meet their granddaughter or have her come home once in a while.

「 I think that they’re afraid that Kouzuki house keeps an eye on them, but I think it’s cruel 」

I…

「 Okay, let’s do something next week. With the Mizus.h.i.+ma house, with Noelle too 」

「 Kuromori-sama? 」

「 It’s Sunday tomorrow and we’re stuck in our high-school festival./ In exchange, we have a holiday on Monday. I can make time for Karen 」

「 I-I… 」

「 Just let me do it. Karen’s my woman so I’ll settle it 」

I hug Karen’s small body and said.

「 That’s right, it’ll be fine as long as you leave it to Papa 」

「 That’s right, Nii-san will do it smoothly 」

「 You don’t have to worry anymore 」

Agnes, Luna, and Koyomi-chan, the trio has gathered before I noticed.

Add Karen to that, and they’re a quartet.

「 Karen-chan, all you have to say is “Please take care of me” for now, and do your best in serving him on your next turn 」

「 That’s right. That’ll make Nii-san happy 」

Agnes and Luna smiled.

「 It’ll be fine 」

Koyomi-chan tells Karen kindly.

「 Thank you, everyone, 」

Karen said in tears.

「 Please take care of me, Kuromori-sama 」

She tells me.

「 Yeah, I got this 」

If it’s Mizus.h.i.+ma house, then I’ll go to Shou-neechan.

Mizus.h.i.+ma Noelle, I’ll talk to Ruriko about her.

I should start gathering intelligence by tonight.

「 I’ll wash your hair too, Karen 」

I resumed was.h.i.+ng Karen’s body.

「 Y-Yes… 」

The thirteen foreign girls are watching that situation.

◇ ◇ ◇

After was.h.i.+ng Karen, Agnes and Luna washed me.

No other girls wanted me to wash them tonight.

Well, doing all of them would take a lot of time.

We still haven’t had our dinner yet so I want to get out soon.

「 Okay, now put on the pajama you like! 」

When we got out of the bath and went to the changing room, Katsuko-nee brought a lot of pajamas.

「 We’re having a pajama party tonight! 」

With that said, everyone changed to their pajamas.

Edie explained to the foreign girls that they can pick the pajama they want and wear them.

Then, everyone went to the dining room.

「 Here you go, grab your plates 」

Motoko-san in her ap.r.o.n welcomes us.

「 Our meal tonight is in a buffet style so pick and choose what you want 」

Right, we don’t know the preferences of the thirteen girls.

That’s why they made a lot of things.

「 Edie, explain it to them 」

Kyouko-san said Edie, Erica, and Anya told the former girl a.s.sa.s.sins about the Viking format.

They’re listening with serious faces.

「 Onii-san, why don’t we go ahead and pick the ones we like? 」

「 Showing an example to those girls 」

Eri and Rie said.

「 No, we can go later 」

In such case, there are two types of dishes, those that are popular, and those that people don’t touch so much.

I feel bad for Motoko who put in their effort to make all these.

So, I’ll watch and decide on picking the dishes that everyone didn’t touch.

「 Well then, I’m going first 」

Kyouko-san goes to the table.

「 You girls should come here too 」

Kyouko-san told the twins and they looked at me.

「 Sure, you can pick whatever you want 」

「 Well then, we’re going first 」

「 Excuse us 」

Eri and Rie go to the table.

「 Agnes will go with them 」

The quartet waits for the former a.s.sa.s.sins.

There are a lot of kids their age.

「 That’s the end of the explanation! Now, go and eat 」

Edie takes them to the food.

Oh, taking a bath and meal together…

They’re slowly starting to get along.

The foreign girls are still nervous, but…

They’re not afraid.

I think they’ve calmed down.

They have relaxed expressions.

「 They’re no longer cautious even with the girls who didn’t go to the bathroom 」

Nei told me.

The bath is full of foreign girls with a past that they could easily relate to.

Those who didn’t go to the bathroom were Motoko, Kurumi, Sakurako, s.h.i.+e, Mariko, Haiji, and Marika, who was preparing in the kitchen, then Katsuko-nee.

「 That’s because you can’t hate someone who made you a delicious meal 」

Yeah, that’s true.

They can make friends with the girl who were in the kitchen by having dinner this way.

「 Come, Yo-chan, let’s go Viking! Buffet! 」

We also went to the table.

「 Okay, don’t stand there. Sit down before eating 」

Kyouko-san, the father of the family, shouts.

「 Haa, just in time, I’m so hungry 」

Shou-neechan appears at the entrance.

「 Finally done with the disposal 」

She’s done disposing of the rebelling army of Kouzuki SS.

She talks with the police too.

「 Hey, why didn’t you call me here?! 」

Yukino comes in angrily.

Minaho-neesan and the prost.i.tute cadets are in the new brothel.

Rei-chan sent Grace Marinka-san to the old dojo of Kouzuki SS.

Margo-san is still not home yet.

「 Dear, when you’re done with dinner, you’ll need to prepare for tomorrow with Ai-chan 」

Katsuko-nee told me.

「 Bring some to help you. I’ll teach these girls how to make pastries 」

The thirteen new girls are getting lessons right away.

「 I’ll have them make a simple loaf of bread without fermenting. That way, they can experience eating the bread they made tonight 」

Eating the pastry they made themselves, makes them discover that they have other ways to live apart from a.s.sa.s.sinating.

「 We’ll strike while the iron is hot. So we’ll do with what we can tonight 」

「 Right… 」

We have a production plan for tomorrow based on the sales at our school festival today.

Ai and I have to finish all that tonight.

「 We’ll finish in three hours. We still have tomorrow 」

「 Yeah, Katsuko-nee 」

The school festival ends tomorrow.

Oh right.

「 Shou-neechan, Ruriko, come here 」

I also have to start moving in regards to Karen.
