Chapter 45: Night Service, Huh...

"Doreen-sama, the other day I accompanied Robby-sama to Jones-sensei’s house. When I saw how terribly shabby the house was and how poorly he seemed to be eating, I thought there was no way such a person could properly teach Robby-sama magic. I was wrong. I am ashamed of my lack of insight. I must apologize to the teacher."

Cass spoke earnestly to Mother, but she had no reason to apologize at all. I needed to smooth things over before she went to apologize.

---

"Um~ Sorry to interrupt while you’re all excited, but is it really such a big deal that I can use magic? Aren’t there quite a few people who can?"

When I asked, both Mother and Cass turned to me at the same time and stared intensely (their gazes were terrifying...).

"Yes, there are many people who can use magic. But Robby, the important thing is that *you* can use it now!"

Mother declared this with raised eyebrows and such intensity that the veins in her eyes were showing. Beside her, Cass nodded repeatedly.

"That’s right, Robby-sama!! Your future has finally become brighter! If you can learn healing magic, you could even get a job as a personal doctor for a small local lord. Then you could live modestly and be set for life! You won’t have to live off Doreen-sama’s charity forever! Robby-sama, please do your best! Attack magic might get you dragged into subjugation missions, so healing magic is best. If it’s healing, even if you join a subjugation team, you’ll stay in the back, so it’s safe. Understood!? Healing magic! Please remember that!"

She spoke with great enthusiasm. The problem was, I had no idea who could teach me healing magic. Would I have to appraise people one by one and beg them? There didn’t seem to be any hospitals in this country, so maybe I should look for a doctor? Well, I’ll figure that out later. After all, I’m still only 10 years old.

---

Now that Mother and Cass had calmed down a bit, I decided to ask about the original reason Cass had come.

"By the way, what was the original reason you came to see me, Cass? What did you want to ask me about?"

Cass’s eyes widened.

"Oh, that’s right! I completely forgot!! Robby-sama’s magic made me forget everything. Actually, this is something Her Highness Doreen should hear as well. Ah, you girls! Stop loitering around and get back to work!"

She shooed the maids away.

---

Cass looked around the room, checked behind the curtains and under the bed, then finally turned to me. For some reason, she addressed Mother first:

"Doreen-sama, may I ask again — do you know a maid named Stevie Nix?"

*So it was about Stevie.* Had she done something that required questioning? Did she mess up again?

Mother tilted her head.

"Stevie Nix? Who is that? Was there a maid by that name? I don’t recall." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

*Hmm.* So Stevie hadn’t left much of an impression on Mother. That made sense. She didn’t have that sparkling, eye-catching quality young girls usually have, and she wasn’t the type to step forward and promote herself. She’d probably step back and let others take the spotlight.

---

"Stevie Nix is 16 years old. She’s often absent-minded, and despite her age, she has almost no feminine curves — she has a body like a stick. Her hair is a light blue, and her eyes are blue-green. She looks very good when dressed as a boy."

"I don’t remember her."

"She’s the one who has been disguising herself as a boy and acting as Robby-sama’s escort when he goes out recently. Do you not know her?"

"Ah! That child! Was she working as a maid? Ehhh~! Did that girl do something wrong?"

When Mother asked while tilting her head, Cass replied,

"No, it’s not that Stevie Nix did anything wrong. The problem is something Robby-sama said to her."

"Huh? Robby, what did you say to her?"

Mother turned to me. I had no idea what this was about. I shook my head and answered confidently,

"No, Mother. I don’t recall saying anything problematic to Stevie."

I puffed out my chest and declared it firmly.

However, Cass made a face that said "I can’t believe this!" and continued,

"Robby-sama! Is that true!? Yesterday, Stevie came to me looking dazed but also somewhat happy. She asked, ’Robby-sama told me something... What should I do?’"

Huh? What was she talking about?

Thinking I was playing dumb, Cass looked slightly annoyed and turned to Mother.

"Doreen-sama! Yesterday, Robby-sama told Stevie Nix to come serve him at night!!"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeehhh!!"

Mother’s loud scream echoed throughout the room.

---

"R-Robby... Did you really order Stevie to serve you at night!?"

Mother’s expression changed drastically as she asked. The warm atmosphere from earlier had completely vanished. However, I had only said it in the heat of the moment, so it wasn’t something she should take seriously, right?

But Mother grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me.

"Robby! Tell me the truth! Say it clearly! Mother won’t get angry, so just tell the truth!"

Her hands moved from my shoulders to my neck, shaking me while choking me. It was painful at first, but gradually started feeling good.

"Doreen-sama! You mustn’t! You can’t choke Robby-sama!!"

Cass grabbed Mother’s hands and loosened them. *I was so close to having an out-of-body experience...*

"Ah, I’m sorry! Are you okay? Robby, are you alright!?"

This time she grabbed my shoulders and shook me back and forth. My brain felt like it was rattling. I was about to pass out. Even though I had transmigrated into Robby, this might be the end. To think that one careless word — "night service" — would cause me to say goodbye to this body...

---

"Doreen-sama! Please stop! Robby-sama’s eyes... his eyes!"

My soul had left my body and was watching the scene from above — me, Mother, and Cass. Cass was desperately trying to stop Mother. When Mother finally noticed, she laid me down and called my name. My soul wasn’t being pulled back into my body.

Mother was crying and calling out to me, but since my soul was detached, I couldn’t understand what she was saying. Her tears were dripping onto my face. Cass was also saying something desperately.

Mother covered her face and began sobbing. Cass took over, peering into my face. She patted my cheeks, and when I still didn’t wake up, she rubbed her cheek against mine. *Ahh, I can feel the warmth of Cass’s skin.* Something was pulling my soul back toward my body. I moved from my overhead position to right beside my body.

Cass took my hand and pressed it against her chest. She slipped it under her clothes and placed it on her breast. *I want to savor this sensation!* From the position of my hand, I was probably touching her nipple. *Aaaah! So close!* Mother couldn’t see it from her angle.

"Robby-sama! Robby-sama! Robby-sama!"

I could hear Cass’s voice. She was crying so much. *It’s not something worth crying over...* Though I had no idea how to get back into my body either.

"Robby-sama..."

Cass kissed me. Behind her, Mother gasped in shock. Cass’s tears were falling heavily onto my face. *Ah!* Cass’s tongue entered my mouth. Her tongue moved around, searching for mine.

*I have to respond. I need to respond to Cass!* I moved my tongue to entwine with hers. At the same time, my hand squeezed her breast. When I gripped it firmly, I could feel her nipple between my fingers.

"Puha!!"

My soul returned to my body and I gasped for air. Since Cass had been covering my mouth, I ended up spitting out a breath.

"R-Robby-sama! You’re awake!"

I tried to answer, but no voice came out. Mother came closer. Thinking she was going to shake me again, I flinched. She stopped, looking frightened.

"Robby, are you okay? I’m sorry... Mother did something terrible..."

Mother started crying again.

"Robby-sama, are you really okay? I thought you might never come back... I was scared you’d fall asleep again forever... Cass was so worried..."

Cass also began to cry.

---

I stroked Cass’s head with one hand. My other hand was still gently caressing her breast. It felt so good. I wanted to keep it there until Cass told me to stop. But she pulled my hand out.

---

"Doreen-sama! Please calm down and listen. Now then, Robby-sama, why exactly did you order Stevie to serve you at night?"

Cass pressed me again with sharp eyes.

"W-well... When we were out in town, Stevie wasn’t listening to me, so I said, ’If you keep acting like that, I’ll order you to serve me at night...’"

"Huh? You actually ordered her? Regardless of the context?"

"Well... I did say it."

"I see..."

Cass looked visibly disappointed.

"Even so, Stevie is 16 years old, so it wouldn’t be strange for her to be called for night service. However, making her a concubine for Robby-sama, who is still only 10..."

When Cass said that, Mother muttered,

"I was thinking of putting Robby into the church once he grew up..."

The church? Does that mean even for boys, you have to keep your body pure? So... remaining a virgin? When that thought hit me, I looked at Cass. She also had an awkward look on her face. I think I heard somewhere that if you stay a virgin until 30, you can become a great mage?

---

"Doreen-sama! Since Robby-sama can now use magic, putting him in the church is no longer necessary. Let’s set that aside for now and return to the matter of Stevie. For the time being, shall we have her come for night service?"

When Cass suggested this, Mother made a very displeased face.

"My Robby being intimate with another woman... and he’s still only 10 years old!"

*Mother... your son is already fully immersed in an erotic lifestyle. I’m sorry.*

"I understand. Then we’ll prepare her and have her come tomorrow night. Is that alright, Robby-sama!"

Cass declared firmly with sharp eyes.

*Cass... aren’t you basically forcing a woman onto your man?* I thought.
