Chapter 136-2

”Problem? What is it?”
When the proposer, Iris, asked, Ms. Casa answered her.
”Mr. Koji’s honor.”
”””Ah…”””
The women of the Gavrett family raised their voices together.
Ms. Casa continued speaking after that.
”If we spread rumors that Mr. Koji is seeking female companionship, it might reflect poorly on his character. While it’s a strategy to gather clues, wouldn’t it also tarnish his reputation if it’s too successful?”
”I’m, I’m sorry, Koji…”
””…””
Iris and the other women of the Gavrett family made sly faces.
Despite being nobles who care about their dignity, they seemed not to have noticed—or perhaps they had dismissed my dignity as less important than the clues they could grasp with this scheme, judging by their expressions.
Noticing that, I shook my head side to side.
”No, don’t worry about it. My reputation here isn’t a concern. I’m not planning to settle permanently in this land, so it doesn’t matter if I’m not popular with the locals.”
Well, I wasn’t acting like I cared about dignity that much anyway.
Since I have no intention of settling permanently in this land, it’s no problem if I’m not popular with the women here.
So I said that I don’t have to care about my dignity in this land, but the women of the Gavrett family gazed at me with fervor and said,
”It’ll be alright. Whether it goes well or not, we’ll spread the word about what happened later.”
”Yes. Besides, your character speaks for itself. People will understand.”
”Yes. At least we’ll stand by your side.”
Ms. Alicia and Ms. Elina spoke in turn, and Elina approached me, standing up from her seat.
”If you need anything, just say so, okay?”
”Huh? Ah, yes…”
Elina placed a hand on my shoulder reassuringly, ignoring the surrounding eyes.
Such a scene, Ms. Casa summed up the conversation.
”Then, we’ll adopt Lady Siera’s plan, and our merchant guild will also prepare *various items* accordingly.”
* * *
When it was decided to spread the story that I was starving for women to lure out the people who cursed Ms. Alicia, the negotiation then began on the spot.
With this level of technological skill, it takes time to make things; even custom-made clothes typically take a normal 1 to 2 months.
So, perhaps as part of the reward to Amiras merchant guild, the women of the Gavrett family ordered clothes to be worn when they become warm, but…
”…Yes, you’ve grown a bit larger, haven’t you?”
”T-that’s right.”
Ms. Casa measured Iris’s bust with a long string, recording the results on paper.
Ms. Alicia exclaimed at the result.
”Ah, I knew it! Just as I thought.”
Saying that, she looked at me and grinned.
Ms. Alicia, who had perceived my relationship with Ms. Elina, also quickly noticed my relationship with Iris.
She guessed that if I was getting involved with Viscountess Ms. Elina, I was probably also cooperating with Iris, with whom I had been acting jointly for a while.
And recalling the feeling of Iris’s chest when her petrification was undone and she was massaged, her suspicion was confirmed.
I don’t think her bust grew just because she was massaged.
And yet, I thought she might get upset about it… but it turned out not to be the case.
If Iris cannot be married into royalty or other noble families, she intends to compel her to cooperate in bringing her into the Gavrett household, just like Ms. Elina.
It’s good that she and her mother or sister don’t seem to be fighting over it, but to keep that from happening, I probably need to *work hard*.
Well, aside from that.
Why were they taking measurements in such a state, and why was I confined indoors?
I tried to leave when the measurements started, but the maids, following the women’s instructions, stopped me.
They insisted on building a closer relationship, as discussed earlier.
”That matter is strictly about me being starved for women, and there’s no need for the women to comply…”
”No, no. It’s the principle of the matter, and we cannot afford to slack off.”
”Yes, if no one complies, they might think there’s something wrong with you, and if it’s thought to be contagious, they might avoid you altogether.”
”Therefore… please, by all means, go ahead!”
The maids took my arms and guided me, ensuring I stayed put.
The women of the Gavrett family also engaged in fitting discussions, and the situation remained professional.
It’s certain that I can’t back down on that matter, but it’s still early, and isn’t it a bit unappetizing to *pull out* here?
So, I tried to calm the situation by focusing on the presence of the only properly dressed Ms. Casa…
”Then, I am taking my leave here. I’ll inform the others at home to enjoy their conversations and not to come near here since Mr. Koji is in charge of security.”
Thud
After saying this and bowing once, she left, and I was hurriedly taken to the bed, where I used Magic Mending to lock it and apply soundproofing.
