Chapter 75: The Shop Marin-sensei Recommended

Marin-sensei walked briskly ahead. She passed right by the usual shop with the line of girls waiting outside.

The regular girls noticed me and started talking.

"Oh? You’re not stopping by today?"

"Look, he’s with a different woman!"

"Who is that woman!? She’s not worthy of him!"

"Yeah! I’m way prettier than her!"

They were saying whatever they wanted. I felt like telling them to look at their own faces in the mirror first. However, Marin-sensei acted as if she couldn’t hear any of it and kept walking until we reached a clearly high-class shop quite a distance away from the usual one.

This place definitely looked expensive. Even standing in front of the shop, the sweet aroma drifted out. My cheapskate instincts from my previous life kicked in — when you have no money, just standing in front of a place like this is enough.

"Let’s go in!"

Without waiting for my permission, Marin-sensei took the lead and entered the shop. She spoke with the gentleman at the reception desk. After their conversation, the man said, "Right this way," and guided us inside. We proceeded down a corridor past the entrance and were shown into a private room. The room was filled with luxurious furnishings that looked like they would cost a fortune just for the room fee alone. There were no windows, only a door, and the walls were decorated with paintings, dolls, and various works of art.

Since I live in the inner palace, one might think I’d be used to this kind of environment, but my room has almost no furnishings, so I’m not accustomed to it. My mother’s room has them, but mine is basically just a room for sleeping — it only has a bed, a reception set, a desk, and a chair. That’s why coming to a room like this makes me nervous.

"This room is amazing!"

I gave an honest impression, but Marin-sensei remained silent. The heavy atmosphere showed no signs of clearing. Eventually, there was a knock at the door, and a maid brought in black tea and cakes. The cups and plates were also clearly expensive. The spoons were probably made of silver.

Marin-sensei stayed completely quiet the whole time, her face looking tormented.

"Marin-sensei, what’s wrong? You’ve been silent this whole time. Come on, let’s eat quickly."

I took a bite of the cake and invited her to join me. Only then did Marin-sensei finally speak.

"Lord Robby... I am truly sorry about what happened yesterday."

She bowed her head, so I said,

"Marin-sensei, that’s enough about that already. Let’s stop talking about it."

But Marin-sensei continued,

"Lord Robby is so kind... You smiled and let my rude outburst pass. But I can’t forgive myself. I cannot allow it! I was supposed to be teaching you swordsmanship and lecturing you about the proper state of mind and attitude, yet the moment it concerned me, I lost my temper and said those awful things. I am too ashamed to continue guiding you as your teacher!"

"Marin-sensei, that’s enough..."

"No! No matter how much I apologize, it will never be enough. I at least wanted to do something to make up for it. That’s why... after the sword training before we got married, when we showered, you seemed interested in my body. If you don’t mind, I would like you to do as you please with me here! This is really all I can do... hic, hic, hic..."

Marin-sensei started crying. But what a wonderful offer! Still... Marin-sensei is newly married. There’s no way I should be doing that with her, right?

"Um, Marin-sensei, does your husband know that you came here with me today?"

"Yes, he knows."

"Eh!? He knows we entered a private room and that we might... do something?"

"No, he doesn’t know that. This shop is famous for its expensive and delicious sweets. My husband heard that you enjoy walking around with your escorts eating delicious sweets, so he suggested I bring you here and let you eat as much as you like until you’re satisfied. That’s why we came here. The part about my body is my own decision! But... but if you’ll allow it, could you please at least let me take you inside? I’m sorry... uuuuhhhh..."

"As you already know, I-I just got married, so... down there is my husband’s... thing. I cannot allow any man other than my husband to enter that place! Please understand!"

Marin-sensei covered her face with her hands and cried.

At this point, I had no choice but to say yes. If the front hole is off-limits, maybe the back one is okay? But she probably hadn’t even considered that, and that would be completely out of the question anyway.

"I understand. If that’s what you want, Marin-sensei, then it’s fine."

When I said that, Marin-sensei looked up. Her makeup was ruined by tears as she said,

"Thank you very much."

"Then Marin-sensei, come over here."

I beckoned her over, and she sat down neatly beside me. When I leaned in to kiss her, she turned her face away.

"I’m sorry. Please forgive me for not allowing kisses either."

Oh, so both the upper and lower mouth are off-limits, huh.

"Then what would you like me to do?"

"J-just... looking... is okay."

Oh dear, it feels like she’s retreating more and more. But that’s fine. I originally said I didn’t need anything anyway.

"Then please take your clothes off."

"Eh!?"

Marin-sensei looked surprised. What exactly did she mean earlier by "do as you please with me"?

"I want you to undress and show me. After sword training, when we washed our bodies, we were both completely naked, weren’t we? What’s the problem now?"

"That’s... true."

Marin-sensei stood up hesitantly and began removing her clothes, starting with her jacket. It was completely different from her usual bold, quick way of stripping after training (pa pa!). Is this because she’s married now?

Still, she removed everything on top, then took off her skirt, leaving only her panties. Her graceful breasts came into view — they were like shallow bowls turned upside down. At their tips were dark brown nipples. She was covering them with her hands, but her hands were slightly out of position.

"Huh? You’re not taking off your panties?"

She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then resigned herself, loosened the strings, and let her panties fall to the floor. At that moment, I caught a glimpse of a small patch of silver pubic hair, the same color as the hair on her head, slightly visible between her legs. Just a modest, shy little silver bush.

When she tried to cover it with her hand,

"Marin-sensei, don’t hide. Show me everything. And please come closer."

Marin-sensei hesitated for a moment before stepping closer. Her nipples were now right in front of my eyes. Does that man caress these? Does he also love the silver meadow growing below? And what’s inside there too!

"Can I touch?"

"Do you want to touch?"

"Of course!"

"I see... It can’t be helped. Go ahead."

Hmm... When she said I could do as I pleased with her, what exactly was she okay with? At this rate, it would have been better if we just continued with the sword training and washing our bodies together like before.
