Chapter 260 Float Talk with Meluda
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
(Meluda’s POV)
(──Hmm…)
I wake up to a faint light coming in.
It’s the usual room of Meluda and the others in the Clan house.
(Oh, right… Hiro…)
I look over to the bed next to me…
and it’s empty.
Oh yeah, Aluda mentioned, “Hiro always wakes up early to train.
He wasn’t next to me when Aluda was here, and I felt a bit uneasy.”.
I reach out to the spot beside me.
The lingering warmth tells me that what happened with Hiro last night wasn’t just a dream.
(Here with… Meluda…♡)
”Good for you… Meluda…”
I’m startled by the sudden voice and glance over at the next bed.
There’s Aluda, sleeping with a smile.
(Dreaming of blessings or something…)
I almost burst out laughing and quickly cover my mouth.
It’s still not even 6 o’clock yet.
There’s still time before we usually wake up.
I don’t want to wake her, so I quietly get out of bed.
(Ah… they made sure to put me in my night clothes…)
My first time with Hiro.
I reached climax multiple times and should’ve just fallen asleep right after.
Looks like they also did a ‘Clean’ for me, so I don’t feel all sweaty and uncomfortable.
(Is it Hiro? Or maybe Kazumie?)
Feeling a bit shy, I grab a towel, some underwear, and a comfy outfit from the drawer under the bed and head to the bathroom.
* * *
”Ah, good morning, Meluda!”
I bump into Hiro right as I step out of the room.
He looks like he just finished training, all sweaty.
”Good… g-g-good morning, Hiro…”
The moment I see Hiro’s face, I remember what happened last night, and my face gets all hot.
I feel embarrassed and end up looking away.
”I was thinking of heading to the bath. I came to invite you, Meluda…”
”I-I was just about to go too! …you know…”
My voice accidentally gets a bit loud, and I end up mumbling the last part.
”Great! Let’s go together.”
Hiro smiles and takes Meluda’s hand.
Query: (Ah…
Meluda, I really became Hiro’s ‘girlfriend’──).
I’m so happy that I can’t help but grin.
Meluda was led by Hiro towards the bath.
* * *
When we got downstairs, Suu and Uu were already working.
”Ah, Sir Hiroya, Lady Meluda, good morning!”
”Are you heading to the bath now~?”
”Suu, Uu, good morning! Thanks for your hard work this morning!”
When Hiro patted the heads of the two maids, they looked really happy.
”We’ll be out before breakfast. See you later!”
Hiro said that and took Meluda’s hand to head to the bath.
* * *
”Hiro, um… so.”
Sitting in the tub, I kept a little distance.
”What’s up?”
”Meluda, you said, ‘I’ll get jealous and be selfish’…”
”Ah…”
Hiro chuckled.
Did I really bother him?.
”Don’t worry about that. Honestly, no matter how much I liked you, Hiro… it shouldn’t have worked out. Just being able to share this and be… lovers, even like this… makes me so happy… so, can you forget about the selfish things I said?”
I moved a bit closer to Hiro and bowed my head.
”I won’t forget, okay? I’d rather have you being yourself, Meluda, that makes me happy.”
Saying that, Hiro came to sit next to me.
”You don’t have to hold back at all. It hurts when you get jealous and say ‘I hate you,’ but if you want to be selfish, just say it as much as you want. I’ll do my best to respond.”
Hiro in front of me was smiling.
(Ah… I’m really glad I could share all my feelings with Meluda.)
To someone who has a lot of lovers,.
’Make Meluda one of them. But I’ll get jealous.’
I know it sounds really selfish, but he accepted it with a smile.
(I’m glad I didn’t give up… I’m glad I didn’t cut off my feelings for Hiro…)
Nope.
I was saved when my uncle attacked me.
Even if that didn’t happen, my feelings for Hiro have already grown too big to give up or cut off.
”Wh-what’s wrong, Meluda? Sorry, did I say something weird?”
Looks like I was crying without even realizing it.
Hiro squeezed the towel he was holding outside the hot spring and wiped away Meluda’s tears.
”Nope── I was just happy that I didn’t have to give up on my feelings for Hiro♡.”
Meluda hugged Hiro and kissed him on the lips.
──chu…♡chum♡.
”Mm…♡ Meluda, you love me just as much as everyone else, right?”
”Of course.”
Just then, I heard the sound of the bath door opening.
I was startled and tried to pull away from Hiro, but…
Hiro wrapped his arm around Meluda’s shoulder and held her close.
”Hiroya and… Meluda? Good morning.”
When I turned around, Asu-Asu was standing there without hiding her body with a towel.
(Wow… she’s got such a slim and beautiful body…)
”Good morning, Asuka. I just did a light jog around the house, but did you get some exercise too?”
”Yeah, just a little bit of practice. Speaking of which──.”
Asu-Asu sat on the edge of the hot spring and poured some hot water over herself.
”──I guess I have to make another girl happy now.”
Smiling, Asu-Asu joined Meluda by her side.
”By the way, Hiro? Why are you just staring at Asu-Asu’s n*ked body?”
I couldn’t help but pinch Hiro’s cheek.
”Ouch! …No, after morning practice… we always took a bath together… so I got used to it…”
”Are you jealous, Meluda? Don’t worry. I only get turned on by Gorge. Besides, it’s not just the two of us; Gièze is here too…”
”Oh! Asuka!?”
Asu-Asu casually dropped a shocking statement.
Hiro hurriedly tried to interrupt Asu-Asu, but…
I heard that!.
”You’re not even lovers, and Asu-Asu is Gorge’s wife! Gie-Gie is just a cute disciple! How can you be all lovey-dovey and take a bath together every morning with those 2…!”
”Well, it’s not like we’re all lovey-dovey or anything… Ouch!”
Hiro winced as Meluda pinched his cheek.
”The amount of sweat from practice is no joke… It makes more sense to get in together quickly so we don’t catch a cold. I’m not hiding anything, so cut me some slack, Meluda.”
”Ugh!”
Asu-Asu smiled and tried to lighten the mood, so I let go of his cheek, which was pretty red, while Hiro held back tears.
”We can’t catch a cold, right? It can’t be helped…”
”Sorry, Meluda. I didn’t mean to make you mad right away…”
”Hehe. At least it’s just a pinch, right? If I found Gorge in the bath with another girl, I might… slice him up.”
”No, Asu-Asu? That’s contradictory!”
Meluda tilted her head at Asu-Asu’s response.
”That’s true. Asuka, I’m okay with it? That’s what I’m saying.”
Hiro pressed a towel soaked in warm water against his flushed cheek.
”So I’ve said it many times, I only get excited for Gorge… but Gorge is different, right? His love for women won’t change. The chances of something happening are… high.”
Asu-Asu said this with a serious expression.
Hmm.
I kinda get it, but also don’t…
”Yeah. It’s true that I love and care for Asuka, but… after all, Gorge used to be a ‘Seeker of Love.’.”
”Yeah. ──That’s what I’m saying, Meluda. I won’t mess up with Hiroya. No──.”
”‘No’?”
Meluda and Hiro said this at the same time.
”When it comes to ‘Hiroya’… I can’t say. My curiosity might win out…”
”That’s not okay!?”
I accidentally shouted.
”You’ll see when Meluda watches ‘Hiroya’ fight. That’s… on a different level. Even if you can’t see the moves, just the presence alone can make you feel all tingly, you know?”
Asu-Asu earnestly explained to Meluda.
Yeah, this girl is definitely something interesting.
