Dinner was a pork cutlet stew with shishi meat, tofu and seaweed miso soup, along with a salad and bread.
I still crave rice, but I think I’m getting used to having bread with Japanese food.
Besides, Shi-on’s cooking is just delicious. “U, uuu… It’s so good…”
Genjuu’s eyes glistened with emotion as he stuffed the food into his stomach.
He really is an athlete; his bites are big and he eats quickly.
“Fufu, thank you. There’s seconds, you know.” ”…Mom”
“Maybe she’s Mya-chan’s mother?” Shion gives a bitter smile.
“Haha, but I can tell you have a mom vibe, Shion. I didn’t notice it when you were in Japan, but you’re pretty homey, right?”
Zoubu also laughs and praises Shion.
“Is that so? I’m kind of happy that I can make people feel like I’m a motherly figure.”
As she says this, Shion gives me a glance.
Her gaze is lewd, and I realize she’s remembering the handjob she gave me while I was breastfeeding.
Shion is like that in a domestic sense, and even in intimate special play between close friends, she seems to exhibit maternal instincts.
I felt my cheeks grow hot as I recalled that moment, but I continued eating quietly.
“You really are amazing, Dokume-san. Since the teacher is an adult too, she should try harder.”
Luminas-sensei seemed to be in a bad mood, but she was still very satisfied with today’s meal.
After clearing the table with storage magic, Kagegami was surprised. “Huh? Do we not have to wash them?”
“My ‘Inventory’ can break down items that I store at will. In this case, it’s separating the ‘dirt’ from the dishes to clean them. I use the same principle for washing clothes.” “S-That’s amazing…” “It’s really convenient.”
Hand-washing clothes is a hassle, so it’s a big help to save that effort.
“Speaking of convenience, the lighting magic of Tanbi-sensei is very bright and helpful.” Shinpo said.
“I understand! Candles and lanterns were nice too, but it was a bit scary when it got dark. Especially when I was alone…”
She continued as if reminiscing about the days before.
I didn’t know she felt that way, but several girls nodded in agreement, so it seemed they felt the same to some extent.
…Was she too embarrassed to say it, or did she not say it because even telling her friends wouldn’t help?
「Everyone, since we can do most things on our own, it’s nice that the teacher can still be helpful sometimes.」
Luminas-sensei, being the only adult, tries to help us as a teacher.
But since our lives are already quite organized, she might feel frustrated that there’s not much she can do.
「Since the lights go out at a certain time, I wonder if we’ll have a chance to use the lanterns His Lordship gave us in the future.」
Lora, the maid, says in a supportive way.
「Haha, don’t worry about it. We should definitely take advantage of anything that’s convenient.」
As we all chat amicably, regardless of whether we’re new or old members, the topic turns to taking a bath.
According to the digital clock we brought back from the bonus area, it’s already past seven in the evening.
I’m supposed to be the first one to take a bath.
「Can I go in too? I did some exploring this afternoon, you know.」
Since she’s going to take a bath twice in one day, Shoubu asks everyone for confirmation.
「Of course. There’s no way we’d leave Runa out.」
「…damn, it’s going to get noisy」
Shouko welcomes them, and the Dream World sighs.
「Seryna! Want to wash together?」 「No way.」
Dream World pulls away the clinging Zoubu, but she doesn’t seem to be truly annoyed.
「Lady Seryna, shall I wash your back?」 「…why?」 「Because I’m a maid.」 「…no, it’s okay.」
Loa answers with a stern face, and Dream World declines with confusion.
「Ah, we’re all together. It’s like a camp or a school trip.」
「W-We can’t keep bothering you, Koji-kun…」
Phantom and Lumina-sensei look embarrassed.
But the thought of nine beautiful women and girls entering the bath after me is strange.
「Sou-kun, I’ll allow you to peek.」
「S-Sou, do you like that? …Well, I do too, if it’s you.」
Chiyu said something offhand, and Shinpo, blushing, accepted it seriously.
“Hey, aren’t you different from when you were in Japan?”
Indeed, back then, Shinpo would have probably said something like, “Doing lewd things is bad.”
I had seen her change, so it didn’t bother me, but I could understand how Zoubu was confused.
“Well, I guess so. But, yes… My way of thinking has changed.”
“Hmm…? Oh, by the way, I’m okay with it too, Kouno.” Zoubu giggled mischievously.
“Kouno, you have such tastes? …Well, if this helps pay back a little, I’m fine with it.”
“Y-You all seem to trust me. A little embarrassing, but I’m okay with it too…”
“Of course, I have no problems either. If it’s not my master, I’ll exterminate any other lecherous person.”
“Ugh, really…? Can I wrap a towel around myself?”
While the servant was bold when alone with me, she seemed to feel embarrassed with friends around.
”…No. I don’t have such tastes, so everyone can relax. Chiyu, make sure to only joke with people who know you’re joking.”
“Hmm. I underestimated everyone’s good feelings. I didn’t think anyone would be okay with it.” Ah, I understand how you feel.
The dirty jokes that had previously worked as a form of comedy with my input now got accepted by the women before I could react, leaving Chiyu in a bind.
“J-Just kidding. Dr. Miasan, that’s bad for your heart…” “I froze too…”
Luminas and Genju, who hadn’t shown any reaction, said they were exhausted.
It seems everyone was confused by the strange sight of the guys being okay with peeking.
“Well, I’m heading to the bath, but I have something to give you first.”
I handed out soap, lotion, and face wash to Shou, Luminas, and Genju.
“Huh? You made this too…?” Genju was surprised.
“Well, I got everyone’s help for a lot of things. By the way, if you want soap with a certain scent, let me know and I’ll make it for you tomorrow. I’ll also give you some clothes.”
I was already prepared with clothes that fit each of them.
“Thanks! Oh, Koyo, my pajama pants, I think I’d prefer shorts.” “Huh? Aren’t you cold?” “No.” “Okay.”
It wasn’t difficult to make, so I handed her a pair of shorts that reached her knees.
「Oh, thank you! It looks warm!」 「You’re welcome.」
「Even though the cooking itself is handled by Yumi-san, since you can process the ingredients, you’ve chosen a skill that covers all aspects of living. It’s very admirable that you’re willing to use that power for your friends.」
As the number of companions increases and more necessities are required, the “Crafting Ability” becomes more and more useful.
Consumables and food need to be generated continuously, and even if there’s nothing left to make, abilities like Inventory and Storage Rearrangement don’t go to waste. I’m glad I got such a versatile ability. 「Hmm. As expected of you, Sasaki-kun.」 「Let’s call you ‘Sasusou’ for short.」
Around the time Chiyo and Shouko gave their usual compliments, I felt embarrassed and headed for the bath to escape.
