Before showing me around the bedroom where Ethan and I would stay in this villa, the villa manager asked a somewhat unexpected question.

‘Are Prince Ethan and Lady Lilith going to be lovers? Or will it just be a relationship between an ordinary nobleman and a dedicated maid?’

“Ah, that’s… .”

“It is a romantic relationship. Why are you curious about that?”

“… … yes. It’s a romantic relationship.”

As I was struggling with how to explain our relationship as temporary lovers, it was Ethan who boldly claimed that we were lovers.

Well, it’s a bit strange to explain that you’re a temporary lover and all in front of someone you’ve never met.

So, I didn’t necessarily deny Ethan’s words, but I nodded as if agreeing with what he said.

‘I’m sorry if this was an impolite question. When I showed you the room you two would be using, I asked this question to ask whether you would use one or two bedrooms.’

“… All you need is one.”

“… Please make it one.”

‘Yes, I confirmed.’

“… … .”

“… … .”

I felt a little embarrassed by Ethan and I’s answers that came out almost at the same time.

To begin with, we had always been in the same room, the same bed, and the same tent. There is no need to use another room just because there is space in the room.

In a relationship between a man and a woman, there is no need to hide or hide anything since they have already seen each other differently.

-Kkiik.

‘Prince Ethan and Lady Lilith can use this room as a bedroom and rest area.’

I was a little surprised to see him naturally open the door and guide Ethan inside, even though he was a cerebrate, but perhaps this was also a type of technique created by Professor Mamali.

Ethan and I cautiously entered the room, thinking that the manager in the Haunted Mansion episode could have done something similar.

‘… It’s better than I thought.’

The bed is wide enough for two people to lie down on, a small table for sitting across from each other, a large desk for working, and even a closet. It was definitely a villa so good that it would have been a waste to leave it alone for several years.

Since Professor Mamari referred to this as the ‘fourth villa,’ he probably means that other villas also have facilities of this level.

I still don’t know what he does, but I can only guess that he probably conducts research similar to that of a robotics engineer in modern times.

‘I will not intervene or inquire about your life in this bedroom while you are staying at the villa, so you two can use this space freely.

Also, I will never break into or peek into your room without permission, so you don’t have to worry about that.’

“… … Yes.”

“… I won’t do what you think, so you can rest assured.”

‘yes. According to Confucius Ethan’s words, no matter what happens in this space, we will treat it as if nothing had been done.

We will also wash the blankets and bed sheets every day and replace them with new ones, but you do not need to worry about this as it is a natural duty for you as the manager of the villa.’

“… … .”

“… … .”

As a manager of a villa, he was just using his expression in a polite way. If you interpret it, it means that it doesn’t matter if you just bite each other and do whatever you want.

If you committed such an insincere act while taking another exploration class, you wouldn’t be able to protest even if you received a failing grade, but this place was created by the professor of the necromantic exploration class.

In fact, it could be seen as having obtained permission from Professor Mamari, so if you were caught, your grade would not be affected.

‘No, I won’t. ‘I won’t do it though.’

It was decided that having sex with Ethan would only be done as a reward for getting one point from Harold.

Ethan hadn’t scored against Harold since that humiliating pet play last time, so it was right for him to restrain himself.

“Okay, now I want to get some rest, so can you come in? Lilith seems a little uncomfortable.”

“Ah, I’m fine, Master Ethan. Because now I know that the manager is not a ghost.”

“… Okay, okay.”

‘Thank you for your consideration, Lady Lilith. I was planning to prepare a meal and a bath for the guests who visited late at night, but do you think there is a need for that?’

“Meal? At this time?”

“… A bath?”

Ethan and I had questions about eating and bathing at the same time at this late hour, but the manager just gave us a calm answer as if it was no big deal.

‘Professor Mamali’s guests usually visit at this time. Most people who visit this area, where undead monsters often appear, live lives where day and night are switched.’

“… Well, there really isn’t anything to see around here except for undead monsters.”

Of course, I wouldn’t be able to eat anything like this because I would gain weight, but after hearing this, I feel like I want to take a bath.

Ethan seemed to have the same thoughts as me as he carefully asked me about the manager’s suggestion.

“What do you think of the release? I think I sweated a little too much today. Besides, Lilith is a little more tired from driving the carriage, right?”

“I think it is better not to refuse if you can do it. If you’re hungry, Master Ethan, you can even have a meal with me.”

“That’s okay. I’m not particularly hungry or anything. … I’m sorry it happened like that, but could you just prepare a bath?”

‘yes. Then, I will prepare the bath so that you two can go to bed after washing.’

‘… ‘Two of you?’

… Seeing that Ethan and I were sharing the same bedroom, he guessed that we would go into the bathroom together and decided to prepare.

As I was wondering if I needed to correct my words, the manager had already disappeared into the floor, so I missed the opportunity to say something about him.

‘… Well, it’s not like I’ve ever been in the same bathroom as Ethan.’

Even before we had proper sex for the first time, we had been together three or four times before, so there was no need to be embarrassed about mixed bathing now.

For some reason, Ethan’s face seemed a little red, but he decided not to pay much attention to it.

“It would be best for you to take a short break while the manager prepares the bath, Master Ethan. I’ll pack up your luggage, so if you sleep for a while, I’ll wake you up when the bath is ready.”

“Is it really necessary? If we do it together, it will end faster.”

“This is also the exclusive maid’s job, Master Ethan. Although the location has changed, we visited here for academy classes, so I also have no intention of neglecting Master Ethan’s exclusive maid duties like I did at the academy.”

“… OK got it. Then I will ask you a favor.”

Ethan takes a reasonable step back so that I don’t have to reject him twice.

Seeing Ethan like that, I organized Ethan’s and my bedclothes and everyday clothes in our luggage and hung them one by one in the room’s closet.

‘There’s no need to unpack the sleeping bag or tent since there will be no particular use for it.’

If it weren’t for Professor Mamari’s kindness, we probably would have started setting up the tent by now. After finishing everything, I would have had to go to bed in a bad state without even being able to wash properly.

Sleepover activities have their own romance, but it’s only fun if you do it once or twice. This semester, we had sleepovers in almost every class.

I was feeling happy just because it was a night where I didn’t have to pitch a tent or light a bonfire.

“Release.”

“Yes, Master Ethan.”

“… I’m sorry for giving you trouble this class.”

“Yes?”

“I didn’t know that Lilith hated undead monsters so much. I knew you were afraid of ghosts and things like that, but I never thought you’d react that way to a skeleton monster.”

“Everyone has at least one weakness, right?”

“Still, your usual releases have always been bold. Just recently, during a humanities inquiry class, you even swung your sword against bandits without even blinking.”

“A living person, a corpse, and a living thing that should be dead are all different things, Master Ethan.”

“… Yes, that’s true, but.”

“Since I first planned this necromancy exploration class, Master Ethan has asked me how many times I want to know my intentions. Since I agreed, Master Ethan does not need to take responsibility for it.”

“… Yes, Lilith.”

… Anyway, even though you’re a master of the peacock clan, why do you look at the exclusive maid like that?

Of course, the relationship between me and Ethan is not that of a typical operative master and exclusive maid. And what I like about Ethan is that he cares about me even in small things like that.

“… … .”

Even though I clearly said I was okay, seeing Ethan looking strangely downcast made me feel like my heart was becoming heavy for no reason.

As I had just roughly finished organizing the clothes in his luggage, I quietly approached Ethan, who was sitting on the bed, and while the manager was preparing his bath, I gave him a suggestion that might help him feel better.

-Ugh.

“Master Ethan.”

“… … Yes.”

“… Would you like to touch my breasts?”

“Sigh… ! What, what?!”

… Was this such a surprising statement?
