Oh man I"m so glad this was a short chapter. I was about to fail my daily update marathon from the third day lol. I had to translate this straight after translating a chapter of Kaif.u.ku Jutsushi… Thanks for reading~
Hea, heavy.
I’ve completely gotten into the habit of rising early now.
It"s not because of the ramen restaurant’s opening hours, but because there are various things to do, such as preparing the soup.
However, my body couldn"t rise that well just for today.
Having a life abrading fight that exhausted my body and mind yesterday is also part of it, but there is something other than that which is physically weighing my body down, not letting it rise.
"Arya?" (Velt) (TL Note: Expression of surprise)
There"s something on top of my stomach, and that something is clinging onto me.
Noticing that, I opened my eyes slightly to see a princess fast asleep in front of me.
"Ah, ah~, that reminds me, I let her sleep with me yesterday, didn"t I?" (Velt)
She"s sleeping well. Just, when I saw her face, I could see that the area around her eyes were red. They are traces of tears.
However, seeing her fast asleep state, I was able to feel that she trusts me enough to relax her guard around me.
But like~, I can"t move if she"s sleeping while clinging onto me.
"Good grief. Like, hey, I can see your white and light blue panties. Isn"t that improper as a princess?" (Velt)
I stretched out the bottom of her dress that had been rolled up, – to cover it up – and I slowly raised my body.
As if untying an entwined string, I carefully and slowly tried to take out my hands and feet so that she wouldn"t wake up……
"V-, Ve, Velt!" (Ura)
"Uwo, you woke up!" (Velt)
That surprised me.
I only moved a bit, but Ura suddenly woke up, even though she should have been fast asleep.
With a severely fl.u.s.tered, no, with an expression that looked like she was seeing a nightmare, she looked at me, and after blinking multiple times, she showed an expression that looked like she was relieved from the bottom of her heart.
"I, I"m glad……" (Ura)
"O, ooh?" (Velt)
"I thought you were going to leave me and go somewhere." (Ura)
She reacted because of something like that?
Well, she was originally really strong, a lot more than I am. So maybe she was able to tell from my presence or something?
Even so, she"s panicking too much……
"Velt, um…… good morning." (Ura)
"………… Yeah." (Velt)
"Puh, fufufufufu." (Ura)
This time, she happily burst into laughter.
What is it?
"It"s a strange feeling." (Ura)
"Hah?" (Velt)
"Until now, when I woke up in the mornings, the castle court lady or Ruuga and the others would be standing at the door. But it"s my first time sleeping while wrapped in the same sheets as someone else and greeting them this close." (Ura)
"Ooh, I see I see. As expected, princesses are different. In the beginning, sensei beat me with a ladle until I woke up." (Velt)
"But this kind of thing is nice too. Yeah, I"m somewhat happy." (Ura)
"Haha, I see. But did you not sleep together with your old man?" (Velt)
"What are you saying. I am already 10 years old, you know? There"s no way I would do something so childish." (Ura)
…… Would it be better if I tsukkomi"d here?
No, if I"m going to tsukkomi, rather than to her words right now, should it be Ura"s current expression where she"s putting a finger on her lips while looking at me with sleepy, upturned eyes?
"Velt………… nn." (Ura)
"………………" (Velt)
"Come on, it, it, it"s that, it"s that good morning thing. Yesterday, I did it for a good night, so, I, did it, right?" (Ura)
"………………" (Velt)
"Fro, from, from next time, you need to do it in the morning. Come on, nn~!" (Ura)
While pointing at her own lips with her index finger, she keeps pushing out her lips, as if she wants something from me.
"…… Velt, nn~, nn! Come on, nn!" (Ura)
Samejima. What is your daughter? Was it your daily routine to give her a good morning kiss?
You, did you entrust her to me while knowing that?
In addition, there"s no option to dodge it by going for her cheek or forehead. Only an option for her lips?
I was relieved she relaxed her guard around me, but this is too much.
As I thought, like Forna, she"s a precocious brat……
"Hey!" (Velt)
"Fugya! That hurt! Wha, what are you doing!" (Ura)
I pinched Ura"s nose and twisted it.
Glaring at me so reproachfully is no good either.
Rather, if I seriously did it, sensei would drive me out of his house and Samejima would probably get resurrected from h.e.l.l to kill me.
No, would Samejima be roaring with laughter while watching this from h.e.l.l?
At any rate, I can"t stand going along with a brat"s kyakya ufufu every single time.
"Velt~, you~, do, do you not want to do it with me!" (Ura)
"Kuhahahaha, how unfortunate." (Velt)
"Uu~, curse you~, for, for me to be so~." (Ura)
"Fuun, stuuupid. I don"t need any 10 year olds." (Velt)
Rather, the brats in this world should really be taught aesthetic sensibility, right?
That"s a lot more important than magic.
"Just because you"re shy!" (Ura)
"No, you, why are you acting so conceited………" (Velt)
"It can"t be helped! You really can"t be helped. You really are pathetic as a man!" (Ura)
"Shut up. It"s none of your business." (Velt)
"Good grief, you really can"t be helped. Since you really can"t be helped, I will have to do it since it can"t be helped." (Ura)
"Hah?" (Velt)
……… d.a.m.n it………
"Nn." (Ura)
"Nn!" (Velt)
She took the chance while I was completely unprepared.
Ura jumped at me, put her hands around my head and completely locked me, making me unable to move.
Samejima……… are you watching? I properly refused her already, right? I"m not in the wrong, right?
So like………
"Excuse me for coming so early in the morning! Velt, are you awake? Did anything else happen with that woman from yester-………!" (Forna)
"Princess, it is still early. Velt-kun and the others are probably still sleep……………… oh my." (Galva(?))
Like I said……
"O~i, Velt, are you awake~? Wash your face, because we"re going to be preparing………" (Melma)
So like, please explain the situation instead of me.
Tell them I haven"t done anything wrong.
"U, ah, wa, ah, y, you cheateeeeeeeeeeeeeer! You theiving demon uuu!" (Forna)
"You lolicon kiiiiiiiid!" (Melma)
c.r.a.p, it"s become really troublesome now.
I did think that there would be dispute sooner or later, but d.a.m.n, just as expected, or rather, do these guys not care about their chast.i.ty as a princess?
Both the princesses like me.
"You, you, you! Wha wha, what are you doing to Velt!" (Forna)
"No, nothing in particular, I"m just giving him a good morning greeting. Aren"t you lacking manners as a princess to enter someone"s love affair without permission?" (Ura)
"Ha? What did you say? A good morning greeting? Lacking manners? How can you say I am lacking in manners when you made a move on my Velt?" (Forna)
"Wrong, he became mine from yesterday!" (Ura)
"What are you saying! Velt has been mine since five years ago!" (Forna)
"But I already kissed him!" (Ura)
"How unfortunate! I have already done that long ago!" (Forna)
Oi oi, I"m begging you so stop fighting. It"s early in the morning, and like, it"s loud.
Sensei, I"m begging you too, so just calm down.
"Velt~, you~, do you even understand that Ura-chan is your cla.s.smate"s daughter~?" (Melma)
"Yeah~, that"s why I refused her~, ahh, it"s just troublesome. Just hit me, it"s too troublesome to object anymore." (Velt)
"In that case, I won"t hold back!" (Melma)
"Ouch! You actually hit me! You actually hit me right now!" (Velt)
"Ahh? Then, what are you going to do about it, you d.a.m.n brat! Sue me? Corporal punishment? Even if the PTA expose me on the net, there"s nothing I"m scared of right now!" (Melma) (TL Note: PTA = Parent-Teacher a.s.sociation.)
"Think about it normally, this brat is just playing around!" (Velt)
What is this? I"m not a lolicon or anything.
Like, sensei knows that as well, right?
"Honestly, in the first place, sensei~, you already know, right~? The person I"m in love with~." (Velt)
Exactly, even if these 10 year olds cling onto me, they"re no more than precocious brats to me.
The woman I like~, or rather, the woman I fell in love with is~.
"Aah~, look, I have……… Kamino, after all………" (Velt)
c.r.a.p. I feel kind of shy saying that.
I"m probably making a super shameful face right now………
"V-, Velt! Who is that person called Kamino! You have talked about her before as well!" (Forna)
"V-, Velt! Who is that Kamino! You talked about her with father yesterday as well!" (Ura)
And why do you guys work so smoothly together in a time like this?
Rather, you were listening, huh.
These child prodigy princesses are probably stronger than the demon king, aren"t they………
I was shot up, kissing the wall as my consciousness flew away, and for the first time, I experienced going back to sleep after it became troublesome in sensei"s house.
