Hello, Eustis♪

“Ugh… ”

Breaking headache. Numb limbs. A rumbling stomach. Feeling that my body was not in a normal state, my tightly closed eyes opened.

“It’s a familiar ceiling… ”

My memories of the front and back are not clear. After apparently being hit by something and collapsing after receiving a strong shock… I don’t remember much after that. One thing I know is that I am currently in bed in the room where I stayed yesterday. And with a wet towel on his head.

“This… Wet towel. It’s cold. Did you just upload it?”

As I was trying to clear my foggy mind and look around the surroundings surrounded by gold to understand the situation, I saw a familiar face dozing off in a chair in one corner of the golden room.

“Clarice… ?”

It’s definitely true. It was definitely Clarisse Siete, the child I had raised with my own hands after losing her parents to a monster. But… Why is she here?

Around the time that question arose, Clarisse’s sleepy eyes opened wide and made eye contact with me, as if she had noticed my gaze.

[ah… Director. [You’re awake]

I still didn’t know why I was here or why Clarisse was dozing off here, but it was Clarice who spoke first, speaking in a sleepy tone that had not yet gone away.

[Is your body okay?]

Unfortunately, the first emotion that came to mind when I asked about Clarisse, my beloved student, was doubt. This was because many of the questions I had about Clarice before were not completely explained.

However, you can’t say negative things to a child like your granddaughter who kindly asks if you’re okay. I took a moment to calm down and come to my senses.

“I’m fine. Clarisse. I think I got better faster thanks to your concern. Hehehe.”

[Wow… I’m so glad]

Clarice put her hands together, expressed relief for my safety, and continued speaking.

[however… Why was the director collapsed near the church?]

“Ugh… That’s… !”

Clarisse’s innocent question. Why was I lying there ugly? The moment I received that question, the blurry memories of that time began to come back vividly.

I didn’t collapse suddenly because I had a chronic illness, or because I was attacked by a monster… When I saw the situation at that time from a third party’s point of view, it was a sight similar to that of an old woman flirting with a young woman being subdued.

In other words, it’s not something to brag about… To be honest, it was an embarrassing type of story, so I tried to change the topic.

“Well, how do you know that… ? That I fell down near the church… ”

[That’s because I was the one who brought the fallen director here. I was extremely worried. What on earth happened?]

Clarice had tears in her eyes as if the word worry was written on her face, and was stubbornly asking the reason.

This old man also has respect, so let’s put aside the shocking memories of that time for a moment… Unfortunately, I have no choice but to gloss over Clarice.

“Ha, hahaha… That’s right. I guess I’m quite old. It is said that if you roll around on the battlefield or stand in front of fire for a long time, your health will deteriorate. That’s probably why he collapsed on the street.”

At that time, I received a blow so powerful that pieces of stone rolled around, and the traces were clearly left, so it may have been an excuse not to eat the seeds…

[Push… ah… ! You said so. I heard that he suddenly collapsed, so I was really worried.]

Unexpectedly, Clarice believed me. Is there a gap between the information this child received and the situation I knew? With such doubts in mind, I thoughtlessly asked Clarice a question.

“Clarice… Then how did you find me? I heard yesterday that you went on a mission to accompany Alex… Did you come back recently?”

[yes! Until dawn this morning… After working hard on a mission with Alex, I returned to the guild this morning and on the way back after reporting, I heard a commotion coming from the church. So I asked for Alex’s understanding and hurried over to see the director lying on the floor.]

“Well, did you… ”

Even as I was blaming myself after hearing Clarisse’s situation and saying that I would not have been subjected to such indecent treatment if I had gone to the guild first, Clarice continued to explain the reason why she had brought me here.

[I don’t know the exact circumstances, but since he had lost consciousness and was having trouble breathing, I thought he should be treated first, so I brought him to this lodging! I’m not a disciple so heartless that I leave my teacher to his own devices. I]

“Haha! yes. Clarisse is the type of person who cannot tolerate injustice… Pfft… … !!”

While I was proud to see Clarice puffing out her chest and showing off a little about herself, I suddenly felt a feeling of dizziness hitting my skull.

My sense of balance became meaningless and I couldn’t focus well. I clutched my rumbling stomach again and placed my hands on the head of the bed to support myself from almost falling.

But that wasn’t the only problem.

“Keueueu… … Tsk… !”

At a time like this… Swelling of body parts that lifts the lower blanket. I’m embarrassed… Also, embarrassingly, I felt dizzy and at the same time my lower body got hot and I developed an erection.

It’s shameful to show such disgrace in front of my favorite student… There was no way Clarice would leave me alone when I was complaining of pain.

It was almost an established fact that Clarice came to me in surprise.

[Yu, Director Eustis… !!? Why, why are you doing that!]

“I’m fine. It’s Clarice… I just felt dizzy for a moment. Maybe it was an aftereffect from when I collapsed… ”

I felt sorry for not being able to tell the truth that my head was pounding and I had an erection, and I gestured to Clarice, who was anxiously running towards me, and let her know that it was okay.

However, it was unknown whether this abnormal situation was really an aftereffect of being suppressed at that time. To be honest, I couldn’t understand why I was doing this.

[Are you really okay? Or should I tell the employees downstairs to call the congressman?]

ah… yes. If you think about it, this was an inn. An area for adventurers to wash away the fatigue of the day’s adventures and missions and prepare for tomorrow. Of course, I thought there would be various services for them, but…

I had another idea. It was about the deep question that still hangs over Clarisse. I was struggling to speak while pressing down on the blanket to hide my erection.

“That’s right… okay. Clarisse. There were a few things I wanted to ask, but I forgot.”

[yes… yes? That’s not important now! The director’s condition comes first… ]

“I’m really fine. So, would you mind answering my question? Were you involved in any incidents regarding this accommodation and while staying on the estate? Tell me honestly.”

Now the pain went down my head and lingered at the back of my neck. Thanks to this, the dizziness stopped, but I held the back of my neck where I felt itchy and asked Clarice, who was worried, a serious question.

I was aware that it was not an appropriate time to ask questions, but I also did not want to miss the opportunity I had worked so hard to seize. The pain and shame may be temporary, but perhaps this moment of asking Clarisse will never come back…

[I thought this accommodation might look strange to the director. still… ! The prices here were surprisingly cheap, the people were friendly, and the facilities were much better than other places… It’s an excellent adventurer’s inn that you can almost ignore the staff’s attire!]

“Then why didn’t the rumor about this accommodation spread to others? ”

[Well, that’s… … Yes, people are like that. The habit of keeping only good things for oneself. I think everyone keeps their mouths shut because they don’t want their own little space to be invaded by others. Same goes for us… ]

This… That’s a lie. It was an answer that did not seem plausible or credible.

[and I… … I didn’t get caught up in any incidents while I was here… ]

The second answer was slurred.

[Yeah, right… ! Well then, this time I’ll ask a question! That’s okay!]

“Okay. Do whatever you want. It’s my fault for continuing the story as I please while leaving you worried… ”

[then… … Please tell me the story!]

Anyone could see that the intention was to change the topic of conversation. That means… There is something in this lodging, and Clarice is involved in the darkness of the territory or a similarly troubling incident.

And it’s not a supporting role or a minor role… As the main character on stage. I can’t wait any longer. After playing with Clarisse’s tricks for a while, I’ll head straight to the mansion.

The moment my doubts turned into certainty, I decided that I had no time to waste, just like the last time, and thought that I would have to face the young man.

“Okay, Clarisse. Did you ask me to tell you my story?”

​

[Yes, that’s right♥ I can’t remember the stories I heard before anymore. The director’s heroic story. I wanted to hear it again, but… After all, it can’t happen late at night like this, right?]

“Of course. What can’t I say to a child like my daughter? Now, sit next to me. It’s an old story, but I hope you like it.”

​

[Wow… happy. Director… ]

Afterwards, we end up talking to Clarice about our long past…

“ character. That’s it. It was a bit long and boring. Okay, how do you feel? Clarisse. Did you like the story?”

Just as I was holding the back of my neck, which was still trembling, and getting ready to leave, Clarisse opened her mouth.

​

[ah… sorry. Eustis. Actually, I wasn’t listening to the story from the beginning ♥ It was such a boring and nutritious story that I got really angry while listening to it ♥]

“What… ? Clarisse just said… ?”

​

[I guess I can’t hear even with my ears anymore. You idiot. Kikit♥ So, you are that age and a virgin♥ Okay, the joke ends here. I’ll show you heaven ♥]

The space was dominated by crude swear words and crazy murderousness that would never come from Clarisse.

Despite his undeveloped body, all his nerves were tense and he was shaken by Clarice in front of him.

[ha… It was hard to play with an old man who smelled like virginity. Me too♥]

–Pushiiiit… … ♥

Clarisse’s mood changes completely. The air in the room pulsates accordingly. The appearance of the nun’s neatly worn clothes and her flat body began to distort.

The golden color of the interior, the purple of the lighting… And the blackness of the fog. Suddenly, the black fog surrounding Clarice grew in size to completely surround her body in an instant.

“K, Clarisse… !”

I ran forward, just shouting Clarisse’s name as if in a dying voice, but the fog had already cleared, and a completely different being with Clarice’s face stood erect in front of my eyes.

“What… !”

It is on a different level from Clarice’s body that I saw in the dream I had yesterday… It was the emergence of a more violent and more attractive body.
