Chapter 69

“Hey, milk cow.”

“…”

“Answer me, will you? Does having big tits make you deaf?”

“…”

“Hey, I said answer me!”

The pain felt in my shoulder.

Something that feels both familiar and unfamiliar.

“This bitch isn’t answering?”

“…”

“Girls with big tits are always slow~ The signal probably hasn’t reached her brain yet.”

Why am I suddenly seeing this situation?

I don’t know.

Is this a dream?

What a fucking weird dream.

“Hah… Maybe all the nutrients went to her tits instead of her brain?”

“That could be it. They’re so disgustingly big, it makes sense.”

“It does make sense. Even I think that’s plausible.”

“…”

Maybe because it was a dream, the faces of these bitches weren’t clearly visible.

As if a blur filter had been applied, their faces were extremely hazy.

It’s a dream.

If facial features were this blurry in real life, it would be absolutely terrifying.

There were actually horror movies like this in my past life, so it would be really scary.

“Hey, I said answer me!!”

“Ah.”

Oh, my voice comes out.

I can make sounds in this dream.

That’s a bit interesting.

“Aah.”

Is it because the time period of the dream is from the past?

My voice sounds young!

No, it sounds childish!!

“Wow… she sounds like a fucking baby.”

I wonder what time period this dream is set in?

In terms of my past life, it’s probably around middle school age. I was this young back then?

That’s really surprising.

“Hey, the milk cow girl isn’t coming to her senses?”

“Who knows, she probably lost her mind after sucking on her own tits yesterday.”

“What the fuck.”

Come to think of it, I think I unnecessarily endured back then.

Honestly, if I had fought these bitches back then, I would have won.

Why did I let them off?

“Hmm…”

Ah, I think I was worried that other commoner kids would get hurt.

I was so nice!

If it were nowadays, I would have just gone completely berserk.

“What the fuck? Hey, milk cow. Did you just say ‘what the fuck’ to me?”

“Yes, I did, you fucking bitch.”

I answered the faceless bitch with a smile.

“It’s just a dream anyway, who cares?”

“You fucking… You’re dead today.”

“Sure, bring it on.”

The faceless bitches suddenly started running toward me, and I beat them up.

And I did it very enthusiastically.

Despite it being a dream, the impact felt really good.

It probably wouldn’t feel this good even if I punched a sandbag.

“Hah!”

I had a dream that was both shitty and satisfying.

I predicted that today would be an especially good day.

Starting with such a refreshing dream, nothing strange could possibly happen.

“The time is…”

It wasn’t much different from usual.

The time I usually wake up.

I immediately grabbed my formal attire, ran to the bathroom, washed, dressed, and walked to Kyle’s room.

Today, my steps felt unusually light.

Is it because I beat up those girls from my boarding school days?

It felt amazing.

“Young master, it’s morning.”

Even my voice seemed brighter than usual.

I noticed it just after speaking.

Really, I felt extremely good.

“Um… Miss Sofia, are you in a good mood today?”

“I suppose so… I feel exceptionally good today. It feels like I could forgive anything today.”

“Um… congratulations?”

“Yes.”

I must have answered with a big, wide smile.

Because I felt that good!

Today, I feel like I could even exercise with Elin while genuinely smiling.

Or maybe not.

“How will you spend time with Her Highness the Imperial Princess today? You haven’t gone outside with Her Highness the Imperial Princess yet, so it might be good to show her around the domain.”

“I’ll be doing something a bit different today.”

“Something different, you say?”

“Yes.”

What is it?

Something different?

I don’t know what it is, but Kyle will handle it.

He’s good at everything.

Anyway, that’s how the morning started.

Kyle, who had been conversing a lot with the Imperial Princess lately, was again diligently conversing with her from the morning.

I don’t know what it was about, but today he seemed to be talking more earnestly than usual.

“Miss Sofia.”

“Yes.”

“Please prepare to go outside.”

“Pardon?”

“We’ll be visiting somewhere briefly today, so please get ready.”

“Um…”

What is this?

Suddenly going out?

“Where are we going? I need to know to prepare…”

“Just dress warmly.”

“Understood.”

Whatever it was, listening to Kyle was important.

I was working, after all.

“Will Her Highness the Imperial Princess be joining us? If so, I should make additional preparations…”

“No. Her Highness will remain at the castle. It will just be the two of us.”

“Understood.”

If the Imperial Princess wasn’t coming, I was happy.

I had only properly conversed with the Imperial Princess yesterday, and since we weren’t close, it was uncomfortable.

Though Kyle seemed comfortable with the Imperial Princess.

“Hmm…”

The time after lunch and before dinner.

Kyle told me to prepare to go outside.

So I returned to my room to get my clothes.

I needed to grab an outer garment.

After some consideration, I just picked up the coat that Kyle had given me before.

It matched well with formal attire, and it was warm enough to feel a bit hot even in somewhat cold weather.

“Would this be okay?”

I looked at myself in the mirror.

Maybe because the clothes were good, I looked better than usual.

Well, even though I say “better,” there’s no difference except that I’m wearing a coat on top.

“It should be fine.”

I left the room and walked to the castle lobby where Kyle would be waiting.

While walking, I encountered Louise, who was looking at me strangely and giggling, but I understood.

She can act weird once in a while.

I understand since she hasn’t done anything strange for a while.

“Young master.”

“Ah, you’re here?”

“Yes. I’ve arrived.”

Kyle was dressed exceptionally stylishly today.

It was as stylish as what he wore at the debutante.

He added a touch of elegance with a black long coat over his shirt.

Well, Kyle looked pretty much the same whenever he dressed up, but his good body just made him look stylish.

It was completely different from how I look in formal attire.

To be honest, I was extremely envious.

His shoulders were so broad, and he was so tall that he looked absolutely amazing in a suit.

“You’re dressed particularly stylishly today.”

“Hmm… Today is a good day, after all.”

“Is that so? I’m in a particularly good mood today too.”

Since I had an extremely pleasant dream from the morning.

Because of that, I was in a great mood.

And even now, before going out with Kyle, I was extremely happy!

“Then let’s go now. I’ve prepared a carriage for today.”

“A carriage? Don’t we usually walk? Are your legs hurting by any chance?”

The distance wasn’t that far, so we always walked down before.

Suddenly, why a carriage?

Is he in pain? I was immediately concerned.

“No. Today is a good day, that’s all.”

Well, that’s understandable.

I think one can take a carriage on a whim once in a while.

It’s like someone who takes the bus every day deciding to take a taxi.

Though this comparison probably doesn’t apply to Kyle at all.

For Kyle, taking a carriage is no different from walking.

The cost of operating a carriage is not an issue at all for him.

“Now, give me your hand.”

“Thank you.”

I placed my hand on my chest, thanked Kyle, and boarded the carriage with his help.

Since I wasn’t wearing a dress or that kind of clothing, there was no need to place my hand on my cleavage, but it was just a form of courtesy.

“Don’t mention it.”

Kyle answered with a smile, and we took the carriage down to the domain.

There was one thing I noticed while going down in the carriage.

First of all, it was the first time I was going down with Kyle at this time.

And it was also the first time taking a carriage down.

It’s a day where I’m experiencing many firsts.

“Young master, but where are you going at such a late hour?”

“The Grand Temple.”

“The Grand Temple? May I ask why you’re going there?”

It was such an unexpected answer that I had to ask again.

The feeling was really like, “Suddenly, the Grand Temple?”

Kyle very rarely went to see the Grand Temple.

Really, extremely rarely.

Once to find a place to build the Grand Temple, about five times to see the construction site, a few times before the coming-of-age ceremony, and once on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.

At best, it would barely reach 10 times.

I had to ask.

“If you just quietly follow me, you’ll know.”

“Um… Understood…?”

Well, Kyle must have his own reasons.

We continued moving while having ordinary small talk.

The domain in the evening, viewed from the carriage, was prettier than I expected.

The evening village with falling snow gave me a somewhat emotional feeling.

“Miss Sofia, we’ve arrived.”

“Yes.”

I got out of the carriage with Kyle’s escort, just as when I boarded it.

Holding Kyle’s hand, I felt it was extremely large and firm.

It must be because my hands are very delicate.

“Huff…”

“May I ask once more why you came here?”

“Miss Sofia.”

“Yes.”

Kyle with an extremely serious expression.

It was a truly serious expression, different from usual.

“Miss Sofia.”

“Yes.”

I don’t know why he’s calling me again, but I answered Kyle once more.

Where we were standing was inside the Grand Temple, further forward than where the rows of seats are for people to sit for worship.

Beside my line of sight as I looked at Kyle was a beautiful window made of stained glass.

It was on a level that wasn’t at all inferior to the Borussia Cathedral I had seen before.

They built it well.

“Miss Sofia, please listen seriously. It’s important.”

“Yes.”

I have no idea what he’s going to say, but I prepared to take it seriously.

Is it about me quitting my job?

‘Miss Sofia, as of today, you can no longer be with us.’

-And then the severance pay placed in her hand.

Is that it?!

Is my job ending more quickly than I thought?!

I started to feel a bit worried about what he might say.

I had said I would quit, but I didn’t expect it to end so suddenly.

“Miss Sofia, I love you.”

And what followed was more surprising than what I had been thinking.

“…Pardon?”
