The Heroine of the 1st Playthrough Remembers My Training.

Episode 87: Stepmother Threat Training (4).

A tea party was held once every ten days.

The reality was that it was more of a gathering centered around Garcia to support Cale as the next head of the family, making it a place where they discussed power distribution. Overall, it was a pleasant place.

Yes, it was supposed to be that way.

“….”

“….”

Reika gulped.

The atmosphere of the tea party was very different from usual.

From the start, no one could open their mouths because Garcia had not spoken a word, resting her chin on her hand.

“…Ah, everyone, come to think of it, there are rumors that the ‘first disciple’ has changed in the Aslan Empire…”

A brave lady tried to start a conversation as a representative, but…

Clink─

“….”

When Garcia, who didn’t even drink the tea she was holding, put it down again, she had no choice but to shut her mouth.

“….”

In the increasingly serious atmosphere, Reika exhaled a short breath.

‘I have to step forward.’

Normally, Reika wouldn’t have the right to speak.

No matter if she was Garcia’s daughter, at the tea party, Reika was always in a learning position, and the other ladies were allies.

However, there was no one else to talk to Garcia now, so Reika carefully opened her mouth.

“Mother… If I have made a mistake, I would be grateful if you could advise me. I am still inexperienced, so I don’t know how to… ugh..!”

But even her biological daughter, Reika, had to shrink back at Garcia’s murderous glare.

‘Why?’

Reika bit her lip.

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t understand why her mother was so angry.

The Garcia that Reika knew was different inside and out.

No matter how angry she was, there was no way she would show it in front of her supporters.

‘Mother must know what kind of rumors will spread if this continues…’

No matter how strong Garcia’s power was, the ladies gathered here were all wives of renowned families.

Of course, none of them had ever been ignored by anyone, and their pride was just as strong.

If she treated these ladies so poorly, it was clear that grudges would pile up.

‘This can’t go on!’

Even if she would be scolded later for overstepping, Reika had to end this now.

Reika got up and bowed deeply to the ladies.

“…I’m sorry. It seems that Mother’s throat condition is not good today, so she can’t speak. I have no words for making you come a long way only to end it like this, but let’s finish the tea party here for today. I would appreciate it if you could be understanding.”

Even though it was obvious that Garcia’s health wasn’t the reason, no one pointed it out, perhaps wanting to escape the suffocating space.

“…Ah, I see! Health is the most important thing.”

“Of course, it’s fine. Then, I’ll see you next time.”

The ladies left the tea room, each throwing a word and fleeing.

In an instant, the only ones left in the now-empty tea room were Garcia and Reika.

Reika, who took a short breath, opened her mouth.

“Mother… Why did you do that?”

“….”

“They won’t forget today’s events. Weren’t you the one who said today was important?”

“…”

Then, as if she had no reason to stay any longer, Garcia got up.

“Mother!”

Reika shouted, grabbing her hand, but Garcia shook it off and ran out, covering her mouth.

“…Why…”

Reika blankly watched Garcia’s retreating figure.

“…Ha..ha… Emma..!.. Emma…!”

Cale Calliope was comforting himself in his room, thinking of Emma.

At that moment, someone barged in roughly, opening the door.

“Ugh! Wh-who is it!”

Reika looked at Cale, who was hastily putting on his pants with his dirty hands, with a disgusted expression.

“…Tsk, you really are living the good life, aren’t you?”

“Reika! How dare you enter a man’s room without permission! What do you think you’re doing!”

“Man, my foot… If I were your brother, I would be out swinging a sword one more time instead of doing such things.”

“Sh-shut up! What do you know, a girl like you!”

“Enough, just put your pants on properly. It’s disgusting to look at.”

As Cale gritted his teeth and fixed his pants, Reika crossed her legs and spoke.

“…Hoo… Mother is acting strange.”

“Ugh… You noticed too?”

“…You too?”

Reika squinted her eyes and asked in response to Cale’s reaction.

Then Cale, excited at the thought that he had noticed something before Reika for the first time in a long while, spoke proudly.

“Yes! I already knew Mother was acting strange! Specifically, she’s been strange ever since she talked to Yujin, that guy!”

Cale spoke proudly, but Reika’s reaction was cold.

“…Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“Ha, why should I tell you? It’s something I can handle anyway.”

“…Hah, so did you solve it?”

“Ugh… Not yet, but I will soon!”

Reika shook her head and sighed.

“Brother, do you know what happened today because Mother acted strangely?”

“…I don’t.”

Reika covered her forehead, looking at Cale who blinked as if he really didn’t know anything.

It was clear that she had told Cale about today’s tea party.

Cale clearly didn’t deserve to be the head of the family, considering he couldn’t even remember the gathering of his own supporters.

‘Why does Mother…’

Though she knew it was necessary for Cale to be the successor because he was a man, she felt like her insides were burning every time her mother, who was extremely strict with her, protected such a fool.

“So, what happened?”

“…Today is the day of the tea party. Yujin came back, making the atmosphere among the ladies already chaotic, and on top of that, Mother was acting strange.”

“Hah, I thought it was something serious. Isn’t it just women gossiping? Whether it happens or not doesn’t make much difference. As a man, one should prove oneself with one’s abilities. I’ll handle the rest, so you just…”

Listening to Cale’s nonsense, Reika couldn’t hold back her anger any longer and snapped at him.

“Shut up, you idiot! You’re just a worthless worm with a disgustingly high pride who knows nothing!”

“Ugh! How dare you say such nonsense to me!”

Before Cale could even think of the aftermath, his hand moved, but Reika’s hand grabbed his groin first.

Squeeze─!

“Aaaaagh!”

“Haa… Brother. I’ll say it plainly since you don’t seem to understand otherwise. You’re an idiot, so don’t try to do anything alone. If something strange happens, report it to me immediately. Got it?”

“Aaagh! I got it! I got it, so stop! It’s going to burst!”

Seeing Cale, subdued by his younger sister, even shedding tears, Reika felt a sigh coming from deep within her heart.

“…Haa… How did someone like this become my brother…”

As Reika let go, Cale collapsed on the spot, clutching his groin.

“Ugh… You dare… to the future head of Calliope…”

“You should be grateful. I almost burst it, but I held back because the succession must continue.”

When Reika spoke with clenched fists, Cale flinched.

“…So, where is Yujin now?”

“I-I don’t know. I tried to meet him several times, but he didn’t show up.”

“Really useless, aren’t you? Why did you go personally? You should have sent the servants.”

“Do you think I didn’t try… but those damned direct subordinates drove them away!”

“Tsk, we should’ve kicked them out earlier…”

In fact, they had tried to drive out Yujin’s direct subordinates several times while he was away, but since they handled all the actual work of Calliope and even the current head, Edard, favored them, it was impossible.

‘…If only they were incompetent.’

Then she could have accused Edard of favoritism, but since they managed all the work perfectly, there was no room for such accusations.

“…In the end, I’ll have to meet Yujin myself.”

“…Then, what should I do?”

At those words, Reika looked Cale up and down.

Her brother, hunched over, sweating profusely, and clutching his groin.

It was impossible not to sigh.

“Haa… Just keep doing whatever you were doing.”

“Young Master, does it feel good?”

“Yes, it feels nice.”

I was sitting in a chair, getting a massage from Emma.

“Hehe, I studied hard so I could do this for you when you returned.”

Just as she said, every time her small hands pressed on my feet, my whole body relaxed.

“…You don’t know how happy I am that you returned.”

Emma’s massage, starting from my feet, gradually moved up past my calves to my thighs.

“Hoo… If you had stayed in the household, I would have done this for you every day.”

And then, Emma’s hands moved towards my groin.

Initially, Emma was innocently massaging around my hip joint, but her hands began to subtly stimulate my manhood.

As I didn’t say anything, Emma swallowed and spoke.

“…This area seems quite tense too… Please excuse me for a moment.”

Saying that, Emma pulled down my underwear, softly cupped my testicles with one hand, and started massaging my manhood with the other.

“…Young Master… Does it hurt?”

“No, it feels really good, not painful at all.”

“I’m glad…”

Clap─ clap─ clap─

In the quiet room, only the sound of Emma shaking my manhood echoed.

Eventually, as my manhood hardened, Cooper’s fluid flowed out, dirtying Emma’s hands, but she smiled as if pleased and lightly tasted the sticky fluid.

“…Young Master…? You said you would wait until my next birthday… but since it’s only a few days away, if you want, I’m ready now…”

Emma whispered in a voice like a cat in heat, her tone filled with urgency and desire.
