"Sophia-nee!"
"Huh? Log...?"
I woke up to the voice of my kouhai, Log.
"Master told me to wake you up!" he said in a particularly loud voice.
I can tell he's excited, and I immediately find out why.
"This smell? So it's omelette for breakfast, huh?"
I can smell the rich scent of egg and rice coming from the kitchen. Although it's simple, omelette rice is one of Eria-nee's best dishes. From its scent alone, I can feel the energy enter my body.
"Tell Eria-nee to wait for me to get dressed," I said as I patted the wolfboy's head.
"Umu!" Log nodded and went away.
I usually sleep only with my underwear, but because I'm now sharing a bed with Log and Eria-nee, I'm properly wearing a nightgown.
"Yawn...!" I stretched my arms up as I let out a loud yawn. "Hya!" I then shouted to hype myself up.
I gotta' get ready for the day ahead!
"Urk... But what a terrible nightmare that was..." I cringed as I recall a few glimpses of my dream.
In an attempt to forget everything about it, I rushed to get dressed and into the living room.
"Good morning, Soap," Eria-nee greeted.
She's already serving our breakfast on the table. She was still wearing her apron with a character she knitted on it herself. She's the very picture of a perfect wife.
Hm. Seeing her like that makes me feel a bit nostalgic.
"How unusual for you to wake up late. You came home late last night too. Just what were you doing?" Eria-nee asked suspiciously.
"It's because I seduced this cute guard in the castle yesterday. We did it a few times, and I just got ahead of myself. Teehee!" I said as I sat on the table.
"You! Keep that to yourself!" Eria-nee shouted, a vein popping out of her forehead.
"Eh? But you're the one asking?"
"Don't you have any tact!? Just make up an excuse! And beside, Log's here!"
I looked at Log, and he sure was blushing. So he understood what I was talking about? I thought since he's so little, he wouldn't...
"W-Well... Just forget I said anything..." I laughed the conversation off.
Eria-nee glared at me for a moment, before sighing and sitting on the table as well.
We eat in awkward silence...
Log is still blushing red, while Eria-nee has her brows knitted together in annoyance. I do feel guilty, but I still blame Eria-nee for asking first. So, I threw a quick glare at her as well.
Eria-nee...
She had finally regained the life in her eyes.
After the incident with Jules, she became totally lost. To cope, or perhaps take revenge, she slept with many men. However, in the process, she lost her self.
Seeing her get used and abused in her own volition, I just couldn't take it anymore. So I decided to leave...
But it seems she's okay now...
I stood up and got behind her. I then wrapped my arms around her shoulders and pressed my cheek on hers.
"W-What are you doing!?" Eria-nee screamed, flustered.
"I love you, Eria-nee," I unabashedly said.
"I know that already! So stop hugging me!"
"Nope! Let me hug you a little longer!"
"Soap! Your hands! Stop fondling my boobs!"
"Let me kiss you too! Chuu, chuu!"
"I-I said stop! Not on the lips!"
I was about to exchange a kiss on the lips with Eria-nee, when a knock came on the door. And then the loud voices of two young men resounded outside. For some reason, they were arguing.
"Why are you here, senpai!?"
"That's my line! Why are you here, you nerd!"
"Grr!"
"Grr!"
I'm pretty sure the two people outside just butted heads with each other.
"That voice!" Eria-nee excitedly said.
"Were you expecting anyone today?" I asked.
"Ah. Well, it's just another student of mine."
"But there's two of them?"
"The other is just an extra."
Curious, I went together with Eria-nee to welcome our sudden visitors.
"E-Eria-sama!"
"Sophia... Master...!"
The two young men outside almost bursted out in tears as they saw our faces.
The one with the wizard hat seems to be the student Eria-nee was talking about. I'm totally unfamiliar with him. But the other...
Although he had grown up, I can still undoubtedly recognize him. He's the only one I ever tutored. It's Chester.
