Chapter 96 The Secret Promise
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
So, I was brought to a private room in a pub again. Isabella was already drinking like it was nothing.
I reluctantly explained about the White Lily Cafe incident, mainly about the brōtḥel part.
”Hmm… a brōtḥel, huh…”
”It’s a gathering with friends, you know? I can’t just refuse, can I?”
”…Well, being a noble is a hassle, isn’t it? Gulp, gulp…”
Isabella seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but the fact that White Lily Cafe was a brōtḥel wasn’t really the main issue. The problem was the food, not the brōtḥel.
”And if it’s in that old downtown area, it’s a pretty high-class shop, right?”
”Well… yeah. But I’m not interested in getting involved in that kind of thing at my age. Munch munch…”
While eating a pork skewer, I wanted to argue about that. The only women I’m interested in are those who think about getting pregnant with me. The meat paradise at White Lily Cafe the other day was just an unavoidable accident, not something that usually happens.
At least, I had enough sense not to say something that would reveal my desires.
”If you say that, then I also get to play with Miss Isabella, right? You haven’t forgotten, have you?”
”Gah! Cough, what’s with that… Cough, cough!”
”Ah! Are you okay?!”
I sat down next to Isabella, who was seriously coughing, and handed her some water, patting her back. Maybe I overdid it a bit.
”Cough… Phew… What are you saying…”
”I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you cough that much…”
”…No, I’m the one who said something stupid. With Sword and all that… I guess my heart was weak…”
”Do you regret listening to my story?”
”Not at all――.”
She drank her beer with a “glug glug” sound and put down the glass.
”I was persuaded by those around me to make Sword my fiancé candidate, but it’s just not going to work out. In the end, it’s come to this. I should’ve just cut ties sooner…”
”I see…”
Regret for things I couldn’t do… That’s tough, isn’t it? As for me, I want Isabella to be happy. She’s serious about her work and is a beautiful big sister.
”You’ll definitely find a good guy. Look, there’s chicken skewer too!”
I patted Isabella’s back. Her purple tail fluttering back and forth is so cute.
”…Alba, you must be popular, aren’t you?”
”What’s with that sudden question?”
”It’s hard to put into words, but…you’re different from ordinary nobles somehow.”
”I’m just working hard at the magic academy, that’s all.”
”It’s not just about studying or magic power…it’s about the way you think, or rather, the way you perceive things.”
Isabella’s intuition is correct. My double life with Midnight Fangs, and my past as a reincarnated person. That’s why I’m different from ordinary humans, I suppose.
”Well, well, the grilled meat is getting cold.”
”Mm…ah, well, it’s fine…The fact that you’re doing something for the world is true. It’s not something you can do just by thinking about it. You’re doing a great job…”
After that, Isabella continued to eat and drink a lot. I wonder how much time passed. It feels like the night has gotten quite late.
”Zzz…”
Isabella is leaning on me. The sweet, feminine scent, and her defenseless appearance. Of course, being close to a beautiful woman makes me feel excited.
”…Miss Isabella?”
”……”
”Um…”
”…Yeah, I’m fine…I’m awake…I’m awake.”
”You look sleepy.”
My body touches Isabella’s purple tail. I guess it’s okay to touch it. I gently stretch out my hand and stroke her fluffy tail.
”…!”
Isabella reacts with a twitch. Her body leans in closer to mine. Her weight and scent drive me crazy even more.
Sway sway, rub rub. When I gently tease her tail with my fingertips, Isabella’s shoulders quiver.
”If you’re so gentle with me…”
”Yes?”
”It gives me a strange feeling…I’m bad to Sherry too…”
”But it feels good, doesn’t it?”
I strongly grasp Isabella’s tail.
”Ah, uhh…”
I couldn’t resist that adorable voice. No, we’re just making excuses to each other. If there’s a reason to get physically close, I’ll follow it in an instant.
”…Miss Isabella, you’re drinking too much. Let’s leave the store and take a break somewhere.”
”……”
I could sense Isabella’s hesitation. I spoke to her as gently as possible.
”I won’t tell anyone, so.”
Isabella nodded slightly. Yes! I did a mental fist pump. I’ll make sure to enjoy this to the fullest.
