Chapter 4 – A Chilly Morning
“Ugh… Morning… I’m so sleepy…”
Wataru woke up to the soft sunlight.
Since there was no air conditioning, he had slept with the window open.
The thin curtains fluttered in the breeze.
Last night was a lot of fun.
The food he had at the inn seemed to energize him, and he couldn’t help but jump on Mariel and Aire.
Mariel and Aire seemed more enthusiastic than usual, suggesting that the aphrodisiac works on both men and women.
They also drank an aphrodisiac made by the pharmacists’ guild that was very effective.
When Wataru woke up, Mariel had already gotten ready, but Aire was still fast asleep.
It was pretty much the usual pattern.
Aire must have a habit of cuddling because Wataru’s face was buried in her stomach and breasts. He could hear her breathing softly.
Surrounded by her soft, moist skin, he didn’t want to leave her, but he pulled himself away.
He wished he could stay like this forever, but he always woke up.
Aire was still asleep. He decided to let her sleep a little longer.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning, Master. Would you like some water?”
“Yes, please. Mariel, you’re always up early.”
“Women have their preparations to make.”
“That doesn’t seem to apply to Aire, though…”
He drank some cold water to moisten his throat.
Perhaps because he had sweated while sleeping, it tasted very good.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he finished getting ready for the morning and found Aire still sleeping soundly.
She was sleeping curled up like a cat.
She often seemed childish when she was awake, but when she was asleep like this, her sleeping face was beautiful and mature for her age.
Although the culture is different, Wataru had heard that as the daughter of a mercenary clan, she was sometimes treated like a princess, depending on the situation.
Her long, golden hair spread out on the bed looked like a painting.
“She’s sleeping so peacefully.”
“She’s sleeping so soundly that it feels a little cruel to wake her up.”
“Well, we have a busy day ahead of us, so let’s wake her up in a little while.”
“Munyamunya… Master… I did it…”
“Huh?”
“Ara…”
Mariel opened her eyes wide and stared at Wataru.
No, no, he shook his head to deny it.
Wait, wait, wait. This is just sleep talk.
Aire must be having a strange dream.
They’re using birth control, and Mariel and Aire are taking contraceptive pills made in this world that contain potions and aphrodisiacs.
There’s no way it could have happened.
Still, there’s no such thing as absolute certainty.
Wataru felt a chill at the unexpected possibility but waited for Aire to speak, though he never did.
“What does that mean? Did something happen, or is she pregnant?”
“Don’t say such scary things. I want to have children someday, but it’s too early.”
“An unwanted child… domestic violence… child neglect…”
“Wait! Don’t jump to conclusions.”
He stops Mariel, who has started muttering ominously.
Childbirth between a master and a slave often leads to disputes over rights.
Basically, the child of a slave is also a slave.
Therefore, even if the slave is loved, it is unclear what will happen after the child is born. This is a serious problem for slaves.
Wataru imagined a terrible future, but Aire, who must have noticed the commotion, sat up.
“Nya… Good morning, Master. Good morning, Mariel.”
“O-oh, good morning. Hey, I know it’s early, but can I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
“You said something in your sleep earlier. What did you say?”
“Huh? What did I say?”
“What was it?”
She must still be half asleep.
She tried to remember her dream, but Wataru couldn’t wait for her answer.
It’s hard to remember what you say in your sleep.
He waited impatiently, but there was nothing he could do but wait.
“I think it was a special move. I was dreaming that I was training for something.”
“I see. I see… A special move.”
A dream, huh? That’s confusing!
Wataru sighed with relief, and Mariel looked at him and smiled.
How mean of her to enjoy seeing her master so flustered!
Despite Wataru’s flustered appearance, Aire seemed half-asleep and unaware of his suspicious behavior.
She rubbed her eyes and stretched her arms.
Her tank top rose, revealing her large breasts.
“What do you think of Lightning Claw Flash?”
“I think it’s good. It sounds powerful and cool.”
“Let’s try it later…”
As he watched Aire’s back as she went to wash her face without making a sound, Wataru slumped his shoulders.
Come on, don’t make me worry like that, he thought.
“That’s good, Master.”
“Yeah. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t want children with the two of you. It’s just not the right time.”
“Fufufu, I’m ready whenever you are.”
Upon hearing this, Wataru hesitated for a moment, wondering if having children might be okay after all.
