Ch.206Polygamy (11)

“So many issues.”

Ireh sighed repeatedly as she turned off the light and left.

Men and women should be separate, but seeing Eidel lying in bed with two women made her feel uncomfortable. It was because her fear of men was still clearly present.

To Ireh Hazlen, men were creatures who thought with their lower bodies.

If she undressed a little because it was hot, wouldn’t they look at her with lustful eyes?

Wouldn’t every villain she fought threaten to make her a sex slave?

And if they failed and became incapacitated, wouldn’t they try to strip her clothes off first?

Of course, whenever something was about to happen, she would either swallow a capsule, put a holy bullet in her head, or jump off somewhere, so her purity had never been defiled.

But it was already enough psychological trauma.

“Sigh…”

Ireh rubbed her chest firmly.

Perhaps because her tension had eased, her chest area felt tight.

“Sonia, wake up.”

When she called the name of the robot she had brought and placed on the charging station, the android’s eyes snapped open.

The eyes that initially glowed blue soon turned grayish-white.

Huh? Something seemed off about those eyes just now?

Must be a visual sensor error or something.

Ireh didn’t think deeply about it. By now, the fully booted Sonia began moving her lips.

“…still, I hope it’s not the junkyard at least, uh, wh-where am I?”

Sonia looked around. Ireh said:

“You’re inside the Rheinland mansion. Do you recognize who I am?”

“Aren’t you Master Eidel’s slave?”

“Stop joking around.”

“I know. You’re Ireh Hazlen. Aren’t you Master Eidel’s slave?”

Ireh’s expression soured. Regardless, Sonia continued chattering as usual.

“I, Sonia, as a brilliant 5th generation android, will quickly scan the situation. The young master has been discharged. Is my assumption correct?”

“Precisely. Your young master is fine now.”

Sonia placed her hands on her waist and swayed her hips. The large ribbon on her lower back swayed gently with the movement.

“…What kind of dance is that?”

“It’s a dance I do when I’m happy. So, which room is the young master in?”

“It’s better if you don’t know right now.”

Sonia nodded calmly.

“I understand. He must be busy having fun with those two women.”

“Wh-what…?!”

Ireh’s face turned red.

“Wh-what indecent talk is that! H-h-how could he be doing such things…?”

“Is he not?”

Sonia had become eloquent from her constant bickering with Eidel. She was more than capable of teasing a timid woman like Ireh. It was the fruit of 15 years of deep learning.

“Current time, 1:32 AM. Perfect time for lovers to move their hips. And if they’ve gone to bed, the probability increases exponentially.”

While Ireh trembled with shock, Sonia turned around and sighed.

“I, Sonia, have known the young master the longest, yet other women get to taste the ripened fruit.”

“You, did you just say ‘t-taste’…!”

“It’s a metaphor, isn’t it?”

“Ugh…!”

“Your face is bright red, Ms. Ireh Hazlen. Your blood pressure and heart rate have increased significantly. Please calm down.”

“It’s because of you!”

Fireworks exploded over Ireh’s head.

Vulgar. Dirty.

Her brain was overloading.

Ireh recalled the usual Eidel.

A man who preferred research over women. A man with more academic passion than sexual desire. A crazy but kind man. A man who made her feel safe…

Huh?

He’s actually quite decent?

He doesn’t look at her with lustful eyes. He’s diligent. Considerate too. At the very least, his face is appealing, and his abilities are good. Plus, he even saved her, so as a person rather than a man, she respected… no, but he’s already sleeping with two women.

She shook her head frantically.

This wasn’t right. No matter how she thought about it, it wasn’t right.

Blushing with embarrassment, Ireh pointed her finger.

“Rheinland just got out of intensive care! H-he wouldn’t do such lewd things right away! How indecent!”

“I see. So you’re saying our young master lacks stamina right now?”

This is driving me crazy. Ireh held her head.

How should she deal with this cunning android?

Before she could think further, another attack came.

“Hasn’t it been less than two weeks since he collapsed? He must have quite a buildup by now.”

“B-buildup? What buildup?!”

“Shall I tell you?”

“You!”

“I don’t think I need to explain. You seem to already know. Well, at your age, it’s understandable.”

“Sonia, you…!”

“Please speak.”

“N-never mind…”

Ireh rubbed her head vigorously.

She wanted to leave this house, but she was worried about Eidel who had just left intensive care, so she simply couldn’t.

Checking the time, Sonia said:

“It’s late, so just sleep here and leave tomorrow.”

Ireh nodded. She was just tired now. She had spent all her mental energy worrying about Eidel.

“Which room?”

“You can use any empty one.”

In the past, that is, in the previous cycle, she had been close with Seti.

At that time, she had been invited to stay overnight at the Rheinland mansion.

She moved, recalling that memory.

The closest empty room from here. Was it called the multipurpose room? Anyway, Seti (from the previous cycle) had said it was a place they didn’t use for some reason.

It was strange that there was only a single-sized bed in the spacious room, if she remembered correctly.

Ireh relied on faded memories to find that room.

It wasn’t difficult to find.

“…?”

As soon as she opened the door and entered, she felt something was off.

The furniture arrangement was quite different from what she remembered.

The bookshelf was one example. It was filled with various entrance exam workbooks, liberal arts books, economics books, medical books, and so on.

And among them, the most noticeable were definitely the physics books.

The level wasn’t that high.

“I know all this content.”

Did Seti buy these for her basic major courses and put them here?

Or did Eidel read them all and discard them here as if this was a trash can?

Flipping through a general physics book, Ireh couldn’t help but smile.

At first, she thought it was so trivial, but as she continued reading and studying, it provided small pleasures like filling her stomach at a supermarket sampling corner.

She hadn’t brought anything else to read since she came in a hurry.

Ireh decided to review after a long time, swiped the book, and lay down on the bed.

Enjoying the book while inhaling the fresh scent of the bed, the girl soon drifted into a sweet dream.

***

“Pretending not to be interested.”

Sonia shrugged her shoulders as she examined the room Ireh had entered.

“In the end, you’re a fox too.”

It was natural for her expression to frown.

Because the place Ireh had unknowingly entered was actually the room Eidel had used during his exam preparation days.

It was laughable how she outwardly kept her distance from men, yet was now rolling around in a bed that still carried Eidel’s scent.

Of course, it wasn’t entirely intentional.

After all, how would a first-time visitor know where Eidel’s room was?

But the smell.

Couldn’t she infer from the room’s unique scent or interior?

Eidel lived particularly simply, even within the minimalist Rheinland family style.

Plus.

In this house, the only place with stacks of physics books was that room. That alone was enough of a clue.

Grr!

Sonia gritted her teeth.

The competition keeps growing.

While she hasn’t even made proper progress yet, they’re all advancing slowly like turtles just because they’re the same species.

It was the barrier of species.

She became depressed at the thought that humans and robots could never develop beyond a master-servant relationship.

“I’ve been watching him for 20 years.”

I raised the young master all by myself. I beat him back to normal whenever he did something wrong. In place of his deceased mother, I bought his clothes, made his food, did his laundry and ironing.

“…I did it all.”

Sonia had an inexplicable pride in having made Eidel a person.

But after raising him as a person, two human girls snatched him away, and now with a 2+1 deal, Eidel seemed about to form a harem triangle.

“Bad humans.”

Sonia grumbled as she headed to the kitchen.

She wanted to check the ingredients for food that would make Eidel feel better as soon as he woke up. Despite her unfortunate origin, she had to do her job, didn’t she?

That’s when it happened.

[“Isn’t sugar water enough?”]

“…?”

[“Porridge with cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and chicken breast… why are you making something so elaborate?”]

A voice from somewhere.

From above? Below? Beside?

She couldn’t tell. It came from everywhere and nowhere at once.

It felt like her auditory sensors were malfunctioning.

This strange sensation.

Could it be an external entity…?

No. That’s impossible. Androids are known to be objects that external entities cannot possess.

Sonia checked her systems once more. There was still no system anomaly.

That’s when a blue arrow appeared on her visual sensor.

[“Forward.”]

A sweet command, like a serpent urging one to eat the forbidden fruit.

Sonia moved her steps as if drawn by those words.

[“Open the door.”]

Creak, click.

[“What do you see?”]

What do I see? I see Master Eidel sleeping soundly, and two human women clinging to him like leeches, pressing their faces against him.

The sight of them peacefully riding the dreamland train to their honeymoon was quite uncomfortable.

That place.

That’s my place.

[“Then take it back.”]

The blue arrow points toward the bed.

Right in front, where Eidel is.

That arrow had a strange attractive force.

Sonia climbed onto the bed as if drawn.

[“Child who has devoted everything yet received nothing, now claim your rightful share.”]

She even wondered if she might have been hacked.

But so what?

She didn’t want to stop.

She wanted a reward for what she had been doing for the past two weeks, no, for 20 years.

Sonia crawled onto Eidel.

Soon, the soft silicone material covered the firm male body. Enough to feel some sensation, but careful not to wake her young master with the weight.

After carefully positioning herself.

“Master.”

Smooch.

Smooch, smooch.

Smooch, smooch, smoooooch.

***

Upon hearing that her brother had been discharged, Seti rushed to the Rheinland mansion as soon as she finished her work.

“Brother! Brother! I’m here… Huh?”
