Volume 1 Chapter 9 Business Opportunities and Winning Chances
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
We decide to take a bath together.
No naughty stuff.
I can’t do it anymore.
I’m all spent.
If Lifia invites me, I might still be able to, but it feels like it would shorten my life.
We wash our bodies normally.
I show Lifia how to use shampoo and conditioner.
At first, she looks confused, but she listens and decides to try it.
When Lifia comes out of the bathroom, I can’t help but gasp.
Her long blonde hair shines down to her shoulders.
It doesn’t just look pretty; it seems to glow.
Is this an illusion?
Maybe it’s not surprising if it really does glow.
It’s a fantasy world, she’s an elf, and Lifia is like an angel.
”My hair is amazing. So beautiful…”
Lifia beams, touching her blonde hair with joy.
”And my skin is so soft and shiny!”
I gave her these from the amenities in my “Love Hotel” room.
They are already high-end on Earth, but here, they are top quality.
”Yeah, Lifia is already pretty, but you look even better!”
”Oh, stop it, hehe.”
Lifia blushes shyly.
She’s so cute.
Just then…
Grroowwwl.
The sound echoes in the quiet room.
It’s coming from… Lifia’s stomach.
Lifia looks down, her face red with embarrassment, and it’s adorable.
Oh right, she hasn’t eaten since last night.
I gave Lifia a lot of white liquid earlier.
”Let’s have breakfast.”
”Me too? Is that okay?”
”Don’t be shy. I want to eat together.”
”Thank you.”
Lifia smiles happily and thanks me.
I open the room service page on the menu.
”What do you want to eat?” I ask, and Lifia thinks for a moment.
”I’ll leave it to you,” she replies shyly.
Alright, let’s just go with a safe breakfast set.
I tap the menu.
Now, I think about what drink to get.
”I’m having coffee, but what about you, Lifia? Can you handle something bitter?”
”Um, bitter is a bit tough for me…”
But she was just happily drinking something bitter I gave her earlier.
I decided to order her some tea.
She seems to like it.
As soon as I ordered, the food arrived quickly.
When the delivery ping sounded, Lifia jumped a little.
Her eyes got wide in surprise.
She looked so cute, like a little animal.
Opening the pickup window, I saw 2 morning sets.
There was bread, soup, salad, my coffee, and her tea all lined up neatly.
”Wow, that was fast!”
”Yeah, isn’t it weird?”
Lifia was surprised, and I smiled awkwardly.
I was also shocked the first time this happened.
We quickly started eating.
Lifia took a bite of bread and her face lit up in surprise.
”It’s delicious…! This bread is so fluffy, and the soup has such a deep flavor!”
She kept eating, excited about the food.
Seeing her like that made me smile too.
It was definitely tasty, even to me.
But for Lifia, it was even more special.
”The tea too… yeah, this is really good tea. It’s so balanced and fragrant.”
Lifia savored the tea, really appreciating it.
She seems to know a lot about tea; her serious expression showed it.
”Tea really suits you, Lifia.”
”Hehe, thank you!”
Lifia smiled and enjoyed another sip of her tea.
After eating, we relaxed together, and I heard bells ringing from far away.
It wasn’t inside; it was coming from outside.
It sounded like bells marking the time in the town.
”Oh…”
Lifia looked up, as if she remembered something.
”I have to go home now.”
”You can stay a bit longer.”
I said, wanting to keep her here.
I wanted to be with Lifia forever.
”No, I can’t.”
Lifia looked down, feeling a bit sorry.
An awkward silence filled the air.
Right, she was a virgin, and even though she seemed like a well-bred lady, she was standing on the street in a party town.
There must be some reason for this.
Lifia thought for a moment, then turned to me and spoke in a shaky voice.
”Actually, I’m a slave.”
* * *
And now,
we are in a fancy reception room.
We are waiting for the owner of the house.
This is a rich merchant’s mansion.
The owner has Lifia, the slave.
Beautiful paintings in golden frames hang on the walls.
They seem very famous.
The floor has a shiny carpet that feels soft under my feet.
But it all feels too flashy, like it shows off their wealth.
The sofa is bright and has fancy embroidery.
I sit on the sofa, glancing at Lifia who stands behind me.
She looks nervous.
Her blue eyes are shaking.
The door to the room quietly opens.
A woman appears.
She looks like a big sister, somewhere around my age (30).
She has a calm aura and a gentle smile.
But I can’t let my guard down.
I stand up to greet her.
Lifia follows, bowing her head with a worried look.
The woman first looks at me, then at Lifia.
Her eyes widen in surprise.
”…Are you the one who wants to talk business?”
She hides her surprise and speaks to me as if nothing happened.
”Yes, I came from the distant land of Nippon. I am Taro, a merchant.”
I asked to meet the mistress, the wife of Lifia’s owner.
My driver’s suit looks quite fancy in this world.
Good clothes can show a person’s status.
Just wearing them helps gain trust.
