It was two days after I first brought it up to him that Ethan responded that he wanted the ‘complete victory bonus’.

“Can I use the complete victory reward I mentioned last time tonight, Release?”

“… Tonight?”

“Yeah. Tonight.”

…I guess it’ll be okay.

These days, Iris doesn’t think it’s that strange to sleep with Isabel, so if that’s what she wants, then a specific date is fine.

… If you do something a little more extreme like last time, you’ll have to rent a different place to stay near the shopping district instead of the dormitory. Walking around naked on a leash in your room, or making cat noises… No matter how close Isabel is to you, you can never do that. Especially not to your daughter.

“Not bad. I think there will be plenty of space left in the shopping district at this time. Should I prepare it for you?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll prepare it for you. But it might be a little difficult to do it in the dormitory.”

“… Is that so.”

Seeing as he said it was hard to do in the dorm room, it seems like it would be a bit too extreme… um.

Let’s take a quick look at what you’re trying to do.

“Is there anything I need to prepare? For example, clothes… .”

“Well, I think it would be okay if you just prepared so that you don’t run out of magic power. At least so that you can use clean magic more than once.”

“… … .”

… How much are you trying to do?

I didn’t think it was that frustrating. Maybe I was too naive.

After finishing our academy classes and returning home, Ethan and I headed to the shopping district together.

I took off my stuffy academy uniform and changed into a dress for going out.

But I didn’t forget to bring a headdress. Without it, I would feel empty.

“Now, the headdress is… No, it’s nothing.”

Edan looked a little embarrassed when he saw my headdress, but he didn’t nag me anyway.

Maybe I just gave up. It feels awkward to not have it now since I’ve been wearing it every day.

Sometimes, when I have to move around as a noble lady rather than a maid, I have no choice but to put it down, but even so, I can’t help but feel most at ease when I’m wearing it.

“Goodbye, Master! Have a nice trip, Release~!”

Isabel waves her hand, trying to cover it up even though she knows full well why he’s staying out all night.

However, since it was a long-awaited ‘complete victory reward’, Edan wanted to create his own atmosphere by slightly setting the mood with some food and drinks.

… If Ethan is that sincere, it won’t be that hard to get along with him.

-braided.

“Congratulations on your victory over your father, Ethan.”

“Okay. Thanks, Release.”

Even though it was only one time, it was still one victory against the Sword Master.

What’s important is that you saw the possibility of winning at least once. Even if you meet a strong opponent like Harold in real combat, if you win ‘just once’, there’s no need to fight again.

In a duel with Harold, you are given several chances to re-challenge, but in a real fight, such lucky things rarely happen. For you and for your opponent.

There was no reason not to be happy about the fact that the chances of my future husband getting stabbed and coming back as a corpse had decreased. I hope he can safely reach the level of Sword Master like this.

‘If both father and son become sword masters, Blackwood’s status will rise even higher.’

I’m not really hoping for that kind of profit, but it would be good for Lees if the family value goes up anyway.

Of course, Eris won’t give too much hope to Ethan, even if she lacks swordsmanship and magic ability.

In the first place, if the hero party defeats the Demon King, there will be a peaceful era for a while. If you grow up well in a peaceful world as you wish, that will be enough.

“Hasn’t it been quite a while since you’ve been to the expert level? I wonder if it’s time to finally beat my father.”

“I gave up. My major was magic to begin with.”

“Really? But I don’t think handling a sword is bad in itself.”

“It’s been more than half a year since my father and I had a serious duel. He doesn’t seem to swing his sword with the same sincerity he used to, so even if I win, I don’t think I’ll feel like I won.”

“Well, it’s true that when Father fought Lilith, he backed down a little. It must mean that Father likes Lilith that much, so don’t think too badly of her.”

“I never thought badly of it. I never seriously intended to pursue the path of the sword in the first place.”

It is absurd to have learned dagger fighting to an expert level when you were just learning it as a self-defense skill.

As for magic, the maximum amount of magical power is almost the same as that of the great magician Agnes. She just cannot use large-scale magic except for Mana Blast and Arcane Tornado.

In the first place, the large magic of the release is mostly similar types of magic even when the skill tree goes up, so there is no need to learn them to a high level. It is not a character that was created with the intention of going to the magician tree from the beginning.

It would be better to save the remaining skill points and invest them in everyday auxiliary magic such as ‘Calculation Magic’ or ‘Fireworks Magic’. Of course, since the subjugation of the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings has not yet been completed, I am saving them separately from leveling up.

“I’m happy if I can just stay by Ethan’s side and support him for the rest of my life. I don’t think Ethan wants me to go to some battlefield and achieve great things and come back, right? ”

“… Absolutely not. It may sound a little selfish, but I want Lilith to always be in my sights. ”

“So there is no need to learn it seriously. I have made mistakes too, so I don’t think it’s bad for Edan to think that way.”

After all, if there is something coming, there must be something leaving.

There are quite a few noble young ladies who stand in line for any woman they want to marry, and even say they would be happy to have a concubine, and there are quite a few wedding invitations flying in.

If you want to monopolize such a man, then a small amount of evidence would be a reasonable price to pay.

Edan brought me to one of the many inns in the Knowledge Island shopping district that had soundproofing magic installed.

It was a bedroom similar to those in hotels or motels around the world.

The only difference from the dormitory is that there is no chance of sound leaking outside, and there is no need to worry about Isabelle and Iris’s eyes.

…even if I am subjected to some rather violent acts, I cannot escape today. That is the price of the complete victory reward I have decided to give him today.

“Hey, would you like to wash first, Ethan? Or should I wash you?”

“… No need.”

“… … Yes?”

“I want to do it right now, so I don’t need to.”

-Thud.

Ethan, who said those words and roughly pushed my body onto the bed.

I felt a little embarrassed, but I also felt a certain desire in his hands, so I pretended not to be able to resist and laid down on the bed.

“Oh, I see. I feel like doing something a little rough today… .”

-Tseuup.

“Ugh, ugh… ?!”

Ethan, who suddenly laid me down on the bed and then, without warning, smashed his lips against my face.

I didn’t reject it just because it was a sudden kiss. Today, Ethan seemed to want to hug me quite roughly.

If Ethan wants it, I will do whatever he wants. That was Ethan’s rightful right to receive the reward for his victory.

… In fact, I don’t really want to make excuses like a complete victory reward and peek into Edan’s deep desires.

-Slurp.

“Whew, whoosh… .”

Ethan naturally put one hand on my back while kissing me, then unzipped my back and took off my clothes.

The one-piece dress with the shoulder straps pulled down on both sides was instantly transformed into underwear.

Ethan is still dressed, but he’s wearing only underwear.

And even though the underwear was being taken off one by one by Ethan’s hands, it was still okay.

‘… I’ve always done this to this extent.’

It’s a little embarrassing to be naked alone, but it’s not so shameful that I can’t bear it.

To begin with, as a prospective couple, we have already shown ourselves more embarrassing behavior than that, so it is not acceptable to not be able to tolerate this.

Amaedan will not end here.

… It’s a bit embarrassing to say it myself, but there’s a limit to how much I can do to act like a gentleman in front of a maid with such an attractive body.

-Tseuup, tseuup.

“Whew, hoooo, woooo… .”

As the passionate kiss continued, all of my clothes were taken off except for my headdress.

And Ethan’s fingers slowly moved down my lower body to make my body rise.

“Ugh, uhhh?!”

… for some reason, a little further down.
