Chapter 137
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
I worked hard until the afternoon. After that, I took a lunch break with the women from the Gavrett family and their maids.
Even during lunch, the maids took turns helping me. There was hardly any time when I was left alone.
Thanks to their help, I managed to satisfy the women, and finally, it was all over.
After cleaning up, the room felt cold. I aired it out to get rid of any strange smells.
Hoo…
”Mmm… My body is starting to calm down, so I feel cold.”
”Madam, here’s your coat.”
The warm air from the fireplace was gone. My body temperature was returning to normal, so I felt the cold more.
I had prepared a water jug in my room. I used it to wipe her body.
Of course, the water was made with “Imitation.” I also made a bucket and kettle to heat water using the fireplace for her to use.
I only wiped her with a towel soaked in hot water. Actually, she might have felt colder… but I couldn’t leave any evidence of what happened on the Gavrett family women.
However, this was only for the Gavrett family women. The maids were just wiped dry with a towel.
This was done on purpose to leave some evidence of what happened.
I removed clear proof from their bodies, but things like the scent were left to suggest our relationship.
It seems this would make it look like I was desperate for women and had approached them.
Since I hadn’t talked to the Viscount yet, it made me nervous. But I’ll say that Iris agreed willingly, since I’ll be in their care.
Well, they probably won’t want me kicked out, so they’ll stick to the plan.
After airing out the room, Ms. Elina went to explain to the Viscount about the plan to catch the enemy.
Ms. Alicia also left, saying that staying too long would make people suspicious about her relationship with me.
I thought she had stayed long enough.
The maid who was with her showed off her large chest also left.
After seeing her off, Seria entered the room.
”Is it over?”
”Ah, sorry about that. It seems like you were keeping watch.”
As a precaution, I had set up a net in the hallway with Magic Armor threads. I noticed that Seria, who had come out of her room, had stayed in front of this room.
She then explained the situation.
”No, I just happened to meet Ms. Casa and heard about what’s going on.”
”Ah, I see. I must have made her worry too.”
”She must have gotten help from Mr. Koji, so it seems she doesn’t need to worry. But if you’re concerned, maybe you should show some gratitude somehow.”
”Yeah, that’s true. I’ll be visiting the Amiras merchant guild about that matter anyway, so I can take care of it then.”
”That matter?”
”Ah, Seria, you haven’t heard yet.”
Although she is officially a maid, her real job is as my servant, which puts her in a special position.
This was done so she could be moved easily if needed, but she mostly stays in her room and has been bored.
This was because the enemy might be able to curse multiple people at once, and to prevent Seria from being cursed with them.
So, I had her spend her time reading books in her room, and she didn’t take part in the sudden plan to catch the enemy.
After explaining, Seria, maybe worried about my reputation, looked at Iris with a slightly awkward expression.
”…”
”…I-I’m sorry.”
”…Well, if Mr. Koji is fine with it, then I guess it’s okay.”
Seria replied to Iris’s apology.
She seemed a bit unhappy with the idea that would harm my reputation, but it seems she understood and accepted it since I wasn’t bothered by it.
With that, the conversation ended, and when Seria returned to her room, Iris went back to her studies.

After a while, dinner at the Gavrett household began.
The meal ended without any problems, and I was invited to the Viscount’s office.
This must be about the plan to catch the enemy.
Thinking so, I agreed and followed him into the office.
Once we sat facing each other on the sofa, the Viscount started asking questions right away.
”I’ll be direct. Keeping you, someone I’ve just hired, here for a long time might make the enemy realize I’m planning something.”
”Yes.”
”I see. And I’ve heard it from Elina… does it matter?”
It seems it’s about that matter after all.
I immediately answered, “I am.”
”Well, it’s not uncommon for a man to like women, is it?”
”Not particularly, but… I owe you for protecting Siera and helping with Alicia’s exorcism.
”I’ll receive that (woman) as a reward, so you needn’t worry too much about it…”
”No, exorcism isn’t something that can be solved just by having money. Even if I pay the reward, the gratitude itself doesn’t disappear.”
”Hah…”
It seems he feels more gratitude than I had thought.
Although I feel guilty for being with his wife, I’ll end things and consider it a kind of deal.
As for the earlier part… it was like getting an advance on the reward for helping with the plan.
As I’m thinking this, the Viscount speaks up.
”I promise that I will restore your honor once this is over. I’m counting on you.”
”Yes. Well, I can’t guarantee it will go well…”
”That’s the case with anything. I won’t blame you if it doesn’t go smoothly.”
”I see. Well, I’ll do my best.”
”Indeed. Now, about the person we’re going to attract, I hear it’s the exclusive maid of my wife and daughters. However, they are people who have served our family for generations. I would prefer to avoid rough treatment…”
”I understand. It should be enough to just show the flirting, and then let them spread the story that they were invited by me. But…”
