Chapter 106 Having a Late-Night Snack with the New Heroine꞉ What is the Echo Witch？
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”The moon is beautiful tonight, Celia-chan.” Shin said.
”Kyun… yes… it really is, Shin-sama.” Celia replied.
…Shin? Why is she calling me ‘-sama’? Me? And with that melting expression on her face—what happened to you, Celia-chan?
Was the assassin Celia-chan from ¹ Maidens x Cross-dressing this kind of girl?
…Let’s try to remember a bit about the Celia-chan from the game. Let’s see. What kind of girl was she again?
〖Member of the ² Regain Kingdom’s dark side. The young assassin Celia. Entrusted since childhood with guarding the princes and princesses of the Regain royalty, sometimes even acting as a body double. Her past is shrouded in mystery.〗
Yeah, in the character encyclopedia of the Erotica Game Omnibus, it definitely said something like that.
A mysterious assassin heroine, huh! …I definitely want her to join the ³ Alexia Harems so she can have a bright, ‘meow-meow’ happy ending play!
…Looking at her now, she seems like the kind of ‘easy’ heroine who falls quickly, so maybe I should try treating her very, very gently and ask her nicely.
”Celia-chan. Your body is probably weak after being punished by that super-lewd Elf, right? Please wait. I’m going to make some food now that’ll make your body feel better.”
”…A-Ah, thank you very much, Shin-sama.” Celia said.
That’s right, never forget your initial intentions. I need to remember how I was when I first met Alexia and be kind to Celia-chan.
I take the ⁴ Comfortable Dream Space out of my storage charm and start cooking inside.
”…Amazing. This magic tool… so this is what the inside looks like.” Celia muttered.
”Please sit on the sofa and relax, Celia-chan. There are snacks and sweet drinks too. Also picture books and magic magazines.”
”There are picture books?! M-May I look at them?” Celia asked.
”Yeah. It’s fine. You’re free to do whatever you like, Celia-chan.”
”……I’m… free?”
”That’s right… Now then, let’s get cooking!”
Dara-da-da-dan♪ Dara-da-da-dan♪ Dara-da-da-ra-da-ra-dan-da-do-dan♪
Shin-chan’s 30-minute cooking begins!
First, I take the cuts of meat from the ⁵ Ero-Blue Horn that attacked us the other night. I liberally season the chateaubriand with salt, pepper, and herbs.
I spread some butter and start grilling it on a frying pan over just the right heat!
In the meantime, I take pre-cut frozen vegetables from the magic chill of the storage charm and boil them down in a broth made from the ⁶ On-Bird chicken bones I dismantled before.
Then I use various seasonings I bought a long time ago in the ⁷ Seyfried Territory… maybe miso would be good this time?
The ingredients and seasonings in this Maidens x Cross-dressing world are basically the same as the ones from Earth in my past life, which really helps! As expected of an eroge world. It’s the best.
”Salad is… well, we have vegetable soup, so that’s fine. It would be bad to keep Celia-chan waiting, so I’ll make fried rice. I’ll use the frozen rice and pre-cut vegetables again, and for the meat, I’ll just finely chop the leftovers of the Ero-Blue Horn meat.”
After that, I quickly whip up the fried rice over high heat and it’s done. To think I made three dishes in under thirty minutes. I wonder if even Chef Kawazaki would praise me?
”Alright, alright. Now I just plate it and we’re finished. Celia-chan. It’s late at night, but let’s eat.”
”……! Such a delicious smell. I-I can eat this. I could eat anything if it’s Shin-sama’s cooking.” Celia said.
Wait? Was the assassin Celia-chan really this kind of character? When I played the game in my past life, she was totally prickly toward Alexia. Though she was all lovey-dovey on the bed, though.
”Yes, understood! Well then, shall we eat? Itadakimasu.” Shin said.
”I-Itadakimasu-kyan!” Celia replied.
’Itadakimasu-kyan’… I wonder what Karentisia-chan actually drilled into Celia-chan. Seriously.
”Celia-chan. What kind of discipline did Karentisia-chan give you? You were in your underwear in that room, forced to wear a collar and all.”
”Um… that’s… well, if we’re inside here, can anything be heard from the outside?” Celia asked.
”Hmm? That’s right. This ‘Comfortable Dream Space’ was made by recycling a broken ⁸ Sacred Artifact, so it’s isolated from the outside. Man, this Ero-Blue Horn meat really is delicious.”
”I-I see… well. It was from Karentisia-sama… I received a scolding.” Celia muttered.
”……A scolding from Karentisia-chan? I thought you were being disciplined?” Shin asked.
”Well. I’ve had a deep relationship with Karentisia-sama for a long time, and she’s helped me out in many ways since way back. But there are many eyes in that place… we couldn’t let our close relationship be known.”
”In other words, you two have a deep, lewd, intimate relationship. And that’s why you were trying to have meow-meow fun in your underwear with a collar on.”
”Y-You’re wrong about the ‘close with Karentisia-sama’ part! …Karentisia-sama told me. Why didn’t I say something sooner? And as punishment, we were just playing the ‘doggie play’ that Karentisia-sama and I have been doing since long ago.” Celia said.
Heh! So Karentisia-chan and Celia-chan are friends who have been doing that kind of perverted play together for a long time. How erotic.
”And? What didn’t you say that made Karentisia-chan angry?” Shin asked.
”Yes… it was about the witch targeting Shin-sama’s body. I was scolded because she wanted me to tell her sooner about the appearance of the ¹⁰ Echo Witch sleeping beneath ⁹ Alys Magic Academy.” Celia replied.
…It seems like there are still a lot of mysteries surrounding Karentisia-chan and Celia-chan. Secrets of the heroines that I don’t know about.

Summary:
Shin prepares a late-night meal for Celia inside his magical ‘Comfortable Dream Space’ tool. He reflects on her game persona as a mysterious assassin and notices she is surprisingly submissive and easy to please. Celia reveals her long-standing, intimate, and fetishistic relationship with Karentisia. The conversation shifts as Celia mentions a looming threat involving a hidden witch. This ‘Echo Witch’ is said to be slumbering beneath the academy and specifically targeting Shin’s body.

Character Insight:
This chapter highlights the discrepancy between Shin’s meta-knowledge of the ‘game’ and the reality of the reincarnated world. Celia, who was originally a ‘tsun’ character, has been ‘broken’ or conditioned into a submissive state, likely due to Karentisia’s influence. Shin’s casual acceptance of the ‘eroge’ logic allows him to overlook the darker implications of Celia’s ‘punishment,’ focusing instead on the potential harem additions and the emerging plot threat of the Echo Witch.

Behind the Scene:
The use of ‘kyan’ as a speech tic for Celia suggests a ‘dog-like’ submissiveness, directly referencing the ‘wan-chan’ (doggie) play mentioned later. The ’30-minute cooking’ sequence is a common trope in Japanese light novels to showcase a protagonist’s domestic competence.
