I Became a Gallery Manager in Another World.

Episode 202: The Correct Way To Use An Onahole (3)

“Are you really crazy!? Look at the receipt!! D, do you think this makes sense?! If you keep spending this much every time we have s, sex!!! Even if I am the successor of Redrose, I’ll go bankrupt!”

Helen shook the hotel receipt, displaying the bizarre talent of shouting in a small but loud voice.

“Heuh? Does Lady Helen plan to have so much sex with Master that the household will go bankrupt?”

At that moment, Yuris blinked her large, puppy-like eyes and asked Helen.

“W, what are you suddenly saying!! I, I just meant it as an example!! H, how can a person do that much?!”

“Then you won’t do it a lot? …I want to do it a lot with Master every single day…?”

“No, that’s…!!”

Helen was speechless at Yuris’s subsequent question, who still looked like she didn’t understand anything.

Of course, she wanted to do it a lot, but Helen’s pride wouldn’t allow her to say such a thing outdoors while sober.

However, if she flatly denied it, a plausible sense of unease crept in, as if Ian might be stolen away by this seemingly innocent saint candidate.

As Helen hesitated for a moment…

Thump-

Ian smiled slightly and lightly tapped Helen’s shoulder.

“Thank you, Helen. But I’ll definitely pay you back for this.”

“Hmph! Who asked you to pay back?! What’s this petty cash between us! What do you mean, pay back! I, I just… mean you should refrain from raping from now on.”

Helen, her face flushed, turned away and grumbled at Ian…

“Huh? Petty cash? Lady Helen, didn’t you just say you spent a lot of money?”

Crack-!

Yuris’s innocent question once again flew and pierced Helen’s heart.

‘A, no!!! Seriously, what is wrong with her!! She looks like a big-breasted idiot!! Is she playing with me right now!!’

Helen glared at Yuris, trembling, her face red as if it would explode.

They say highly developed purity is indistinguishable from deception.

Was that next saint candidate really acting like she didn’t know anything, or was she pretending to make fun of her? She couldn’t figure it out at all.

“Hehe!”

But seeing Yuris’s brightly smiling face, she couldn’t bring herself to get angry.

“Ha… Never mind! Didn’t you say you had urgent business? Just go quickly!”

In the end, Helen, giving up on trying to understand, let out a deep sigh and waved her hand at Ian.

“Yeah, sorry. I wish I could walk you home too…”

“It’s okay! M… Master Ian! I’ll go back with Lady Helen!!”

As Ian scratched his cheek apologetically, Yuris clung tightly to Helen’s arm.

“Ugh…! Hey! Lady Yuris. Stop sticking to me like a leech and get off! Act like a saint candidate should!”

“Huh? Isn’t this what a saint does? Lady Elise told us to cherish family, too! And you can call me Yuris like when we had sex together!”

“F, f, family?…S, suddenly…w, what are you saying…Ha! I! Geez! I’m speechless! Ha! Well~ if you think about it very broadly, it’s not entirely wrong… Hmph! First, since you told me to call you Yuris, I will. B, but… Yuris, you can call me H, Helen too…”

After watching Helen and Lady Yuris getting along for a while, I turned around and walked away.

Honestly, I wanted to jump in again, but…

‘Laplace…’

Right now, checking on Laplace’s condition was the top priority.

Thump- Thump-

On the way back home.

I called Laplace several times through the administrator message, but there was no reply.

‘Ha… Still no reply…’

An ominous premonition crept in.

As soon as I arrived home, I took out the crystal ball from under the bed.

It was a crystal ball directly connected to Valentine.

Whoosh-!

As I poured mana into it, the surface of the crystal ball began to glow faintly.

The signal rang a few times before Valentine’s image appeared on the crystal ball.

[H, Husband!! To contact me so suddenly… What’s wrong?]

Valentine felt her voice tremble slightly at the long-awaited contact.

“Laplace. Do you know where she is right now? If she’s in the Imperial Palace, connect me to her right away.”

[Ah… Are you talking about Laplace? Well… I, I’m sorry, Husband. Laplace has been out at the academy since the day before yesterday… due to her duties as a disciplinary committee member, so she’s not in the Imperial Palace right now.]

Looking at Valentine’s expression, tilting her head as if she didn’t understand why I was suddenly looking for Laplace, she seemed to have no idea what had happened to Laplace.

[Ah… Husband. If by any chance… you n, need some… s, service…♥ If, if it’s alright with me… even though I’m on duty…]

Valentine spoke cautiously, slightly loosening the buttons around her chest.

The fantastic collaboration of her neatly dressed uniform slightly revealing her pink nipples and the faintly seeping breast milk.

‘…Damn, she’s hot.’

Honestly, she was incredibly hot.

Logically speaking, if the First Princess of the Empire (the empire’s top cool beauty, S-class figure, prone to breast milk, and married) said that and you weren’t turned on, you weren’t a man.

But I wasn’t just a man, I was a man who knew his boundaries!

‘Laplace’s matter comes first.’

Suppressing my rising lust, I said firmly.

“Now. Inconvenient.”

“Squeak—”

At the sound of the disciplinary committee room door opening, Anya, who was buried in a pile of documents, raised her head irritably.

“Who is it… Ugh? Sp, Sp, Special Inspector?!”

Anya’s eyes widened at Ian’s sudden appearance.

“Oh, Anya. It’s been a while! Is your period pain any better?”

Ian greeted her warmly, happy to see her after a long time, but Anya gaped at him in disbelief.

“Pe, pe, period pain?! What nonsense are you spouting as soon as you see me?!”

“Kuolli and Gaur said so? That you’ve been absent often because of period pain?”

“What on earth are those guys talking about?!”

It was true that after smelling a lot of the ‘flower perfume’ Ian had spread, her body had become a bit ‘strange’, and she had taken a lot of sick leave to ‘treat’ it, making up period pain as an excuse…

‘B, but still, to tell a guy that straight out?! No, even if he heard it!! Is the first thing he says upon meeting me period pain?! Does that make any sense?!’

As Anya froze, unable to accept the reality before her eyes, Ian continued.

“Is it because it’s been a while? You seem to have gotten bigger.”

“Uwaaaah!!! Ar, arrest!! You crazy bastard!! Seriously! Y, y, you’re under arrest!! For, for indecency!”

Not only did he bring up period pain, but he naturally followed it up with sexual harassment about her chest!!

Confirming her belief that men were creatures that shouldn’t exist, Anya’s face flushed as she raged.

“W-w-wait, Senior Anya. Calm down. No, why are you trying to arrest me just for saying hello? We’re in the same club, can’t I even say hi?”

“O, only when it’s convenient! You call me ‘senior’ then?! Enough!! And!! How is mentioning chest size sexual harassment? It’s a greeting!”

“…Chest? When did I ever?”

Then Ian tilted his head as if he genuinely didn’t understand.

“Don’t play innocent!! You just did!! You said I, I seem to have gotten bigger!! How much do you usually stare at women’s chests that you noticed such a small change right away?! I feel sick! Sex offender! Arrest! No, death sentence!!”

“…Ah… I meant your height got bigger? Who in their right mind would say someone’s chest got bigger as soon as they see them?”

“…Wh, wh, wh, what?”

For a guy whose first words were about period pain to talk to her about common sense!

Anya belatedly realized she had misunderstood, but she couldn’t back down to a man.

“I won’t forgive you!! Even if that’s what you meant, I won’t forgive you!!! Y, yeah, as expected, Salome was right!! All the men in the Empire are potential sex offenders, so they should all be arrested!!”

Blaming Ian even for her misunderstanding, Anya shouted louder and approached him…

Thwack-!

A cold hand roughly grabbed the nape of Anya’s neck.

“Anya… just how long do you intend to cause a commotion in the disciplinary committee room?”

Anya swallowed hard at Laplace’s chilling gaze.

“Hikyak?! Ch, Chief?! N, no… that’s not it… th, that guy suddenly came in and sexually harassed me, so I was trying to arrest him…”

“…Excuses are enough. The Special Inspector and I will handle the rest, so you can go back.”

“A… uh… y-yes! I, I’ll leave!”

Overwhelmed by Laplace’s imposing presence, Anya hurriedly packed her things and ran out of the disciplinary committee room.

Swish-

“….”

After Anya disappeared, only the two of them remained in the disciplinary committee room.

I stared at Laplace for a moment.

Her skin was as white as chalk, her silver hair and doll-like delicate face were the same as ever…

But there were dark circles under her eyes, and one side of her lip was slightly split, as if she had bitten it.

“Lap…”

Thump-!

The moment I was about to speak, noticing her somewhat precarious state, Laplace suddenly knelt down and said.

“I… I’m sorry!… Hic… Master!… I… I dared… to… disobey!… Hic!… Please… punish… me!… Sniff… A stomach punch… or strangulation… or… ginger… please… punish… me… Waaah…”

“….”

It was the same reaction as usual, but something was different.

How should I put it? If usually about half of it was saying she would accept punishment to fill her ‘fortress’, now it felt like she was saying it purely to receive punishment.

“Follow me.”

“Waaah!… Y-yes…”

I wanted to comfort her, but as the ruler, I had to maintain my authority, so I had no choice.

Entering the chief’s office, I sat down in Laplace’s exclusive chair and opened my mouth.

“What happened?”

“N-nothing happened… I, I just… I…”

Laplace answered reflexively, but soon realized her foolishness.

She couldn’t dare to lie to the Master.

“…So…”

“….”

Laplace hesitated for a moment, her lips twitching, before confessing in a trembling voice.

“I… I saw… it.”
