After seeing the cooks, I took a bath for the first time in a long while!
My brother was in the room with me, but he went out in a blink of an eye like a crowâs bath. Now Iâm relaxing alone in the bathtub.
Huh? Somehow the outside is noisy â
âMy lady, no!â
Lara rushed in âŠ
âLuke, I want to join too!â
Lara is already naked, is this okay?
I donât have the lolicon attribute, but Iâm in trouble cause I canât decide if itâs okay to take a bath with a child of this age in this world.
âSorry, Your Highness Luke! I was looking for the young lady cause she wasnât in her room, but there was a person who saw her enter here ⊠I came in a hurry, but Lara-sama had already taken off her clothes. I couldnât stop her, please forgive me. â
âNo, Iâm fine ⊠I mean ⊠Aside from her being a child, itâs more of a problem that a noble daughter came in.â
Originally, a caretaker was attached to the bathing of royalty and upper aristocrats, but my brothers and sisters refused it.
Me? Luke wanted to have a cute maid, but though reluctant, he gave up because his brother and sister were angry at him for some reason.
ââȘ In fact, in the background, the female servants cried and hated helping Luke bath. The older brothers and sisters said they wouldnât have a caregiver so that Luke wouldnât be hurt by knowing it. â
âSeriously? By the way, I remember that when I was a kid, there were people who helped me ⊠I was told by my brothers and sisters to enter alone from around the age of 14.â
ââȘ Well as for Lara, you can stop her if you donât like it master, but itâs okay if sheâs that age.â
âLuke onii-chan⊠can I join you?â
âItâs okay. Come in, Iâll wash your hair after your body warms up.â
âYay!â
âBut ⊠to make Luke sama do such a thing âŠâ
âItâs no problem. I had a younger sister who was about the same age, and I always went in and washed her hair.â
âAlright ⊠Iâll call someone to come to help you with bathing.â
âI shouldâve told Duke Guile in advance that I donât need an assistant?â
â⊠I understand ⊠Then, thank you for your help.â
She finally left, did she think I canât take a bath on my own?
ââȘ Sheâs Lara,âs maid. Right now, sheâs in a hurry to go to the duke to discuss this matter. â
âDiscuss..? ă\
ââȘ Even though sheâs a child, she couldnât decide for herself whether itâs okay to let the daughter take a bath with a boy around your age, so she went to confirm.â
âWhat âŠwhy didnât you tell me? Isnât this really a problem? It was no good after all ⊠He might get angry? ă\
ââȘ Itâs okay. As a young girl whoâs just turned 6 years old, sheâs not treated as a woman in this world. â
No one came in angry after that, so it seems that there was no problem.
I wash my head, body, and face with a mysterious liquid, although my body is clean, my hair is a bit stiff ⊠It was too dry.
After washing my hair and body, Iâm soaking in a bathtub with Lara and warming my body before I leave.
âThe frogâs poem is ~ âȘ
You can hear it ~ âȘ
Gwa! Gwa! Gwa! Gwa!
Gero Gero Gero Gwa Gwa Gwa Gwa âȘ â
I voiced the sound of a frog very realistically.
âLuke onii-chan, what frog screams like this.
âHyaha! Lara, thatâs a bullfrog! And it looks like Mecha!â
She was surprised to find out âŠ
My body warmed up, and when I left the bathroom, the maid I mentioned earlier was waiting behind the tsuitate at the dressing room. {TN: Tsuitate are those Japanese sliding doors}
âThank you, your Royal Highness Luke. I was able to hear the joyful voice of Lara sama for the first time in a while.
ââȘ After Sasha got sick, Lara tended to block her out others and was without a smile recently. While she was waiting at the dressing room, she was relieved to hear Laraâs happy laughter and singing. â
She called out from behind the tsuitate, but apparently she would change Laraâs clothes.
The maid quickly dressed Lara, gave me the Dukeâs message, then went out.
He wants me to come to the reception room where I first entered.
* * *
When I entered the reception room, the maid who was waiting for me immediately served me a cold drink.
This girl is the maid who guided me to the bathroom. There are many maids, so I canât remember them allâŠ
âI would have wanted you to enter slowly, Iâm sorry about Lara.â
âLuke usually bathes his sister, Chiruru, so heâs used to it.â
âWhy is it brother answeringâ
âYou may be tired, but I have something to tell you. This time Itâs about your valet when you go to school.â
âHuh? Iâm taking a valet?â
âOh yeah ⊠the dragoon school we attended didnât allow servants to accompany us.â
âBrother, why doesnât the Dragoon School allow servants to accompany us?â
âIsnât there an explanation given in the first class?â
âMaybe I didnât hear it âŠâ
âYouâre the one who rides the drake ⊠because the main purpose is training for combat, you need to prepare a drake without your servants, right?â
âOh yeah ⊠itâs not that easy to prepare a drake.â
âRight, good grades and drake owners ⊠when that happens, that person is a high-ranking aristocrat ⊠because low-ranking aristocrats canât own a drake so easily.â
So, this time Iâm going to the magic department, It seems that itâs customary to take a valet who matches your family.
âActually, it was sudden, so I havenât prepared a valet yet. The talented people of the same age have already enrolled this year âŠâ
Thatâs makes sense⊠but actually, I donât need a servant.
âI donât need a valetâ
âThatâs not good. People with a family less than Count rank are not allowed to be accompanied by a valet, but on the flip side, itâs like saying that people above Count rank have to bring them. â
Many noble children are lazy like Luke was. Some of them canât even change clothes because their servants do everything from an early age.
There is no reason for a teacher to take care of such children, and the school decided to allow the bringing a squire for such children, which is the squire companion system. Itâs been customary for a while to bring in excellent servants who match the prestige of the house.
âSo you tried to find someone for me but they refused it!â
âLuke!â
âHmm ⊠thatâs not a mistake ⊠your rumors are terrible, so I was thinking of adding someone to act as a stopper but⊠hmm âŠâ
If itâs as rumored, theyâd think I would break into a girlsâ dormitory at school or look into a bath or changing room.
But I really donât need a servant ⊠itâs just a hindrance to getting rid of the evil god.
