Chapter 353: With Mama

"Th-that, could you say it once more? I think I misheard?"

Mama prompted with a face a little glad, but also troubled.

"Yes. Mama, I ask you."

At my reply,

"My♡"

was Mama’s voice.

"Geh!" "Geh!"

were Ann and Rin.

Mama, cheeks red, stroked her hair with a hand.

"Eh, but I am the Clan Chief’s... but the Clan Chief said do as much as you can for Lord Merry. Even if not a woman past her prime like me, there are plenty of other cute girls. But he said I am fine."

she muttered. Ann and Rin looked at that with white eyes. For me, if waves do not stand I do not care how it goes. Tonight Mama, tomorrow Ann, the day after Rin would be ideal. That kind of thing you can only do away from home, yes? If I ask the Clan Chief to take me out every night, mufufufu...

There was a time I thought that dreamlike thing. A dream is a dream because it is a dream, and a time you always wake comes. I came to know that again.

Something seemed to be arguing at the entrance. A customer seemed to have come this late, and they were arguing with a staff person who tried to refuse? They are trying to close the shop (I thought), and a customer who comes is past shameless, I think.

"Lord Merry, excuse me a moment."

Mama put on the shop-owner face, left the seat, and went toward the entrance.

"What happened?"

I grasp the air, but I ask Ann and Rin. Ann said with a knowing face,

"It happens sometimes. Customers who come just before closing and say let me drink or let me hold a woman. They get high at some other shop, put on momentum, and come to us, but we are not that anyone will do either."

"That is so! Somehow they come drunk slurring, or they come still stinking, and no girl is glad at that, so Mama refuses for us, but there are persistent ones."

Rin said it with a rolled tongue too. Customer trade is hard in any world, I think.

Then Ann lowered her voice.

"Lord Merry, why did you name Mama? Bad to say, but we are far more than Mama, neeen!"

She sought agreement from Rin, and Rin too,

"Yes! I was surprised. But what will Mama do? Because, Mama is the Clan Chief’s, nn that, nee ufufun."

and a shocking fact was revealed. Shocking, I say, and it is a common talk. Owner and hired Mama, that relation? That may be one of a man’s ideals, the form that should be. Enviable.

"A secret, but."

I said it and took the posture of a secret talk with Ann and Rin.

"What is it?"

"Whaat?"

"In fact I named Mama tonight, and I thought in secret maybe tomorrow and the day after I will have the Clan Chief bring me and name Ann, then Rin in order."

"Uwaaa!"

"Amaazing!"

"No good?"

Ann and Rin both shook their heads.

"It is all right!"

"Not no good at all! Because if you are the Clan Chief’s customer we get more money from the shop than usual. Having you come three nights in a row is glad!"

they said. Little by little the distance of feeling grew closer (the bodies have been stuck the whole time. My son is already standing) and the girls’ tone broke too.

"Ah. So you named Mama first and stood Mama’s face? Amazing! You are thinking!"

"But Mama loves young boys, so earlier she looked terribly glad too. She was shaking her waist under the table. Especially she loves rolling around a boy who seems to know nothing. Ah. Do not tell the Clan Chief this."

They even told me that reserved information.

"But if I put too much burden on the Clan Chief it is pitiful? Shall I pay the money to go to the second floor?"

"Heee Lord Merry, amazing! A person who cares about that kind of thing is rare."

"Yes! Most people only think about doing it with us and try to have someone else pay the money."

"I see. But as a reference, about how much are you two? About one gold coin? Not enough?"

"Eh...!?" "Eh...!?"

The two were struck silent. I do not know the market so I said it at random, but is it a thing to frown at? Ann, mouth opening and shutting, then,

"Th-there is no such thing. Gold coins are impossible!"

she said, and Rin too,

"Yes, that is so! With one gold coin you can take us two home! You can stay with us until morning! Nee, Lord Merry, nee nee, how? Tonight will you take me and Ann home? If you like you do not have to come to the shop tomorrow. Ann and I will go to Lord Merry’s place! Then we will make dinner and breakfast and feed you! Nee, how? Good, yes? No? Good, yes?"

Rin became eager all at once. She ground her chest against me. Drawn by that Ann too,

"Yes! The two of us together! You can do as you like! Even if Lord Merry does nothing we will do it all! How? How?"

She took my hand and caught it at the base of her legs. There a hot hot wet cloth. Aaaah. My feeling moves terribly. If it were not the inn I would take them home no matter what. If only there were no overseer named Lily, the floor is different from Her Majesty and the others’ rooms and it is apart, I feel it would be all right. Can I ask the Clan Chief, have an alibi made, and spend the time we are in the territory capital in some room of the Clan Chief’s mansion? This kind of thing, once in a life is fine, yes? Humans have many hard things, so going off the rails once is needed too! Look. There is the word youthful indiscretion! Travel shame is thrown away! they say. I pressed Ann’s wet cloth, set my arm hard on Rin’s chest, and resolved, and then the thing happened...
