I pretend to hesitate, glancing at her—and she’s looking at me expectantly.
Wait, is she… waiting for me to say it? For me to beg, “Alice, wash me with your breasts!”?
If it’s my request, Alice seems willing to oblige.
“I-I-if Ouga-sama wishes it…… I’m prepared to fulfill any desire……”
But wouldn’t that just confirm I’m a pervert?
Has Alice already accepted that I’m a degenerate?
If so, I’d love to ask. Hell, not just Alice—I want all of them to sandwich me. Not a sushi-go-round—a oppai-go-round.
“Just one word from the boy, and I bet all the brides would do it for him, huh? Oh, and hey, would you be happier if I joined in too, little boy~?”
The more oppai there are, the more exponentially happiness increases. One pair oppai? Double the happiness. Two pairs? Quadruple. Three pairs? Eight times happier.
Thinking about it that way… I guess I’m already one lucky guy.
I get to admire those amazing oppai every day. That alone should be enough to make me happy.
Reina, with her thick thighs and mature poise, more than makes up for her size. She also adds to my happiness.
“…So? How long are you going to make me keep doing this boob-lifting pose, boy?”
“…It’s not like I’m even looking. You could stop whenever.”
“Your onee-san is just so nice, I’ll let that slide. See, Alice-san? This is how you get the boy. Too easy.”
“I’ll give you credit for having the guts to say that right in front of me.”
“Alice-san, you just do it like this…”
“Ah, wait a sec—where do you think you’re touching…!?”
Before anyone noticed, Yueri had slipped behind Alice and slid her hands under her arms to lift her breasts from underneath.
Alice knew that if she tried to shake her off at this distance, she might accidentally hurt Yueri with her strength. So she stayed still.
Her oppai were pressed together firmly, and the wrinkles in her clothes made it clear just how big they were. The cleavage was a black hole. A gravitational pull any man would fall into.
“See? Super effective.”
“Ugh—! I’m going to get more tea leaves!”
“Alice! Don’t go breaking the mansion walls!”
“I’ll be careful~!”
With sound effects that might as well have been DO-DO-DO,
Alice sped off back toward the house. She skidded around corners and headed skillfully to the kitchen.
“That was a great view, huh? You can thank me by giving me a raise.”
“Come on now…”
“Ahahaha! Still, I didn’t think you and Alice-san hadn’t made any progress. I mean, a noble and his maid? Wouldn’t be weird if you two had already gotten busy.”
“You really just say that to my face? …Alice and I are in a relationship where we could become husband and wife. I wouldn’t just make a move that lightly.”
“But don’t you think Alice-san wants you to be more assertive? Not just her—all the wives, probably.”
“…You really think so?”
I sat back down in my chair. I had started to stand, but Yueri’s words made me pause.
It’s a rare chance to hear a girl’s honest thoughts, especially one around my age.
Everyone around me—gratefully—has feelings for me, but that makes it hard to ask them directly.
Yueri, though, seems like someone who can give a more objective opinion. Plus, Alice is gone, so it’s just me and her.
…Alright! Let’s do this. I’ll ask her straight out!
“Yueri. Why do you think that?”
“Oh? Sounds like that hit home, huh?”
“I love everyone. That’s why I want to do whatever I can for them.”
“But you could probably manage without asking me, right? You’re the duke’s son, after all.”
“Ah… well, about that…”
Yueri grew up in the independent mechanical city, Encarton.
She was raised by the master craftsman who runs the city.
So she probably knows how I’m seen now, but not how I used to be as a noble…
If we spend more time together, she’ll eventually learn. I don’t want her to get the wrong idea, so I should make it clear now.
“Yueri, I’ll be honest. I’ve never had any experience with women. Not once.”
“Eh!? Seriously!? I thought nobles were all about chasing cute girls and doing it like crazy…”
“Your image of nobles is seriously messed up.”
“My dad told me that!”

“Ah, yeah… figures.”
Just as I thought. I pressed my fingers to my temple. I’ll let Morina correct her later.
“Back to the topic. I want to know what you felt, as a girl. There are things I just won’t notice on my own.”
“Of course! I’m rooting for you, after all… So let’s go back to the beginning. Why do I think everyone wants you to be more assertive? It’s because, well, I would.”
“…Meaning?”
“I definitely feel the love. Anyone would, with how much you say it. But… girls want more physical affection, too. To touch and be touched.”
“Not just words, but physically too…?”
“Exactly. And I think you’re doing your best already, but things like feeling each other’s body warmth—skin on skin—that makes people feel really connected and happy.”
Yueri’s words reminded me of what happened with Alice in the big bath.
She had insisted on washing herself to the very end…
Could it be… she wanted to be touched by me…?
“…That look on your face says something clicked.”
“…Yeah. I realize now I misunderstood her.”
“That’s good. It means you’ve taken a step forward.”
“Thanks. Talking to someone else really helps see things from another angle.”
“If I could help, then that makes me happy. Come to big sister Yueri if you ever have more troubles, okay?”
Yueri patted my head like she would a little brother.
She ran her hand back and forth a few times, saying, “Ooooh~” until she suddenly stopped.
“Ah… was that too disrespectful?”
“…As long as no one’s watching, I’ll allow it.”
“So it’s fine right now, huh? Your hair’s so smooth~”
“I don’t do anything special, so it must be the shampoo. You can use it too. If you do, your hair might end up like mine someday.”
“Really? Now I’m excited!”
…What is this? This feeling I’ve never had before. If I had to describe it… yeah.
“…You really are like a big sister, Yueri.”
“And what’s that supposed to mean? I am older than you, you know.”
“I thought you were just some magic tool nerd.”
“If you weren’t my boss, I’d give you a good noogie for that.”
Maybe this calm confidence really does come from being older.
…Or maybe not. Maybe it’s just Yueri being naturally big-sisterly.
She did grow up in a workshop, and she’s used to dealing with younger guys.
“You really are experienced. You gave me great advice so fast.”
“Nope. Zero experience.”
“Then explain why you sounded so confident just now.”
Still, she noticed what I didn’t. She is reliable.
“…Aren’t you going to take your hand off my head yet?”
“Hmm~ Just a bit longer…”
“W-What are you two doing?!”
“Oh! She’s here! This is what Alice-san meant, huh~”
“You’re not supposed to be impressed by it!”
I brushed off Yueri’s hand and turned toward the voice.
But what I saw was different than I expected.
I thought maybe Mashiro had come after our tea party ended. Instead, four people appeared, exhausted and barely standing.
Mashiro, Celishia, Reina, and Karen had their arms over each other’s shoulders, holding each other up. Their legs were all wobbly… Wait, weren’t they having a tea party?
“…Well, a lot happened,”
Reina said with a wry smile, noticing my confused stare.
Her hair was all messy.
Actually, not just Reina—Mashiro’s hair was undone, Karen’s ponytail had come loose, and now matched Celishia’s long hair.
I don’t know what they did, but clearly they had fun.
Otherwise, there’s no way they’d come out to the garden together like this.
“Anyway… we did it, Ouga-kun.”
Reina gave me a thumbs-up with a satisfied smile.
I had no idea what they had accomplished, but I gave her a thumbs-up right back.
