Chapter 285 Nervous Laura
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
(Laura’s POV)
(Simona, the advisor… she really has an amazing figure…)
I was surprised by the large public bath that ‘Famière’ boasts, but more than anything, Simona’s body… even as a woman, I couldn’t help but sigh at her alluring beauty that made me tremble.
Before soaking in the hot water, I wash my body at the washing area.
I can’t help but sneak a glance at Simona’s body wrapped in soap bubbles.
She is definitely an Amazoness.
Even though it’s a tribe of only women, many have outstanding combat abilities and work as mercenaries or adventurers.
I’ve heard that Amazonesses have strong physiques, but from what I can see…
While I do get a muscular impression, her feminine features are much more developed than mine as a ‘woman.’ A voluptuous chest, a large and well-rounded backside, and plump arms and thighs.
”Hm? What’s wrang, Laura?”
Simona, rinsing the soap off her body, glances at me.
”N-nothing… I was just thinking you have a wonderful body…”
”Heh… Ya shouldn’t faww for me, awright? M’body alrady belongz ta Hiroya ♥”
(Mr. Hiroya… is he the kind of man who can captivate even someone like Simona?)
I can’t help but feel my body heat up with anticipation for ‘tonight.’
”The captain has fallen for her this much…”
”She must be quite the charming person.”
”Helena, I ain’t no more ‘th’ captain, whaddaya mean?”
After finishing washing their bodies, Captain Helena and Vice-Captain Frieda sink into the large hot spring.
They also possess mature, alluring bodies as women.
While their combat style is a power style swinging a bastard sword, Captain Helena has a soft, rounded feminine physique.
Vice-Captain Frieda skillfully wields 2 ‘swords,’ using her swordsmanship and speed to outmaneuver enemies with her slender and toned body.
(This is nice…)
I rinse off the soap and look down at my own exposed body.
I’m slim, and my chest is small.
While my backside is somewhat rounded, it feels really unbalanced compared to the thinness of my upper body.
(Looking at my body… Mr. Hiroya, I hope he’s not disappointed…)
Following Simona’s advice, I also soak in the hot spring.
This bath, filled with the same water as the hot spring, warms me to the core and makes me feel revitalized, as if all my fatigue is melting away.
”But this mansion is well-built, isn’t it, Captain Simona?”
”Yeah… I ‘eard Kazumi whipped up da rough designs, so I guess she let da architect handle da tech stuff.”
”That girl is truly remarkable. ──Helena, we should start thinking about…”
”Right. We have the funds. I plan to get an architect or carpenter introduced through the guild or the office soon.”
The captain and vice-captain were talking about the ‘Rose Hip’ headquarters they mentioned before in the clan.
”I see. So, everybody’s gettin’ all cozy ’round heah in Razia Village?”
”Yes. All the clan members really like this village.”
”Of course, with the discovery of the ‘Great Labyrinth,’ everyone says ‘this village is kind.’”
Just as the captain and vice-captain said, all the clan members echoed that the atmosphere of this village is ‘kind.’
”I get it. I know it’sa gonna get all crowded ‘n stuff, but I hope it don’t lose its chill.”
Simona looked up at the ceiling where the steam was rising.
Her expression was very gentle and peaceful, just like the village itself.
”I’ve heard that de atmosphere of dis village, it’s all about de lord, ya hear? When I got here, our crew meets da lord… he’s like a breath a’ fresh air, ya know? He was a chill, nice-guy kinda person.”
”The hero swordsman ‘Two-handed’ Shinji O’Brian, right? I’ve heard he was quite the ladies’ man in his youth. I’ve met him since coming here too… yeah, he was a good-looking guy, similar to Hiroya.”
”‘Two-handed’ Sir Shinji… as a fellow ‘dual-wielding’ swordsman, I would love to have a match with him…”
Frieda’s eyes sparkled.
(I also like this village. I love the relaxed atmosphere, so different from the Royal Capital.)
Captain Helena, Vice Captain Frieda, and I… looked up at the ceiling where steam was rising with Advisor Simona.

After getting out of the bath, Ms. Kazumi and the maid in the red outfit, ‘Suu’ or something, brought us all gowns.
”I’ll wash your clothes and underwear. They’ll be dry by tomorrow, so don’t worry. ──Just the gowns are fine, right?”
”Thanks, Kazumi. De gowns are enough. I don’t haff no use for undahwear anyway ♡.”
Simona chuckled, saying “fufufu”.
”Oh, Ms. Helena and Frieda can use Simona’s room. It’s spacious, so it should be fine, right?”
”Yeah, my room is da big one. I had dem put me in a room all da way outta dere noise, know what I’m sayin’? Asuka and Gorge, dey were bein’ real loud, ya hear me? ──Let’s go!”
Advisor Simona took the hands of Captain Helena and Vice Captain Frieda, leading them out of the changing room while wearing their gowns.
”I’ve changed the sheets for you!”
”Oh, thank you, Suu!”
I winked at the maid as they left.
”Laura… Hiroya is waiting for you in the room.”
”Y-yes! But, really, someone like me…”
Just then, Ms. Kazumi stretched up and pointed her index finger at my mouth.
”No ‘someone like me.’ Laura, you’re a wonderful girl, so have more confidence.”
”Yes… But, he’s Ms. Kazumi’s fiancée…”
”What’s more important is saving your heart. ──You can relax because he treats you kindly ♡.”
Ms. Kazumi grabbed my arm and pulled me down.
As I bent down…
──chu♡.
Ms. Kazumi kissed my cheek.
It was a very gentle and warm kiss.
”It’s a charm to keep you from being scared. Now go on.”
With my cheeks, body, and heart warmed, I bowed to Ms. Kazumi and Suu and headed to Mr. Hiroya’s room.
”I’m so jealous… I want to be with Sir Hiroya someday…”
I heard Suu’s words.

(I wonder if someone is in the open space on the second floor…?)
I have to go up the stairs, but I can’t help but pass through…
It’s embarrassing if someone is there.
I go up to the second floor and peek out, poking my head out.
(Phew… no one’s here)
It’s already dimly lit, and only the faint light from the ‘magic tool lanterns’ hanging on the wall is lit.
Quietly, I make my way through the open space to the hallway, trying to make as little noise as possible.
This is my ‘stealthy walk’, using my Thief skills to the fullest.
The door at the front of the hallway, on the left.
This is Mr. Hiroya’s room.
Before knocking, I take a deep breath.
At that moment, I hear the patter of footsteps running at a quick pace.
”Laura… I’m glad I made it in time.”
I turn around and see Ms. Kazumi with a relieved expression.
”Just in case… contraception.”
Ms. Kazumi casts a spell, and my lower abdomen glows slightly.
”This should do it ♡ Now, do your best ♡.”
”Y-yes… thank you.”
Ms. Kazumi winks at me and walks down the hallway.
(She’s like the ‘first wife’ who manages Mr. Hiroya’s numerous lovers. Despite her young age, she’s an amazing person who can be considerate of such small details…)
I once again face Mr. Hiroya’s room door and take a deep breath.
──Knock… Knock…
”Laura…? Come in.”
I can feel my body tensing up from the tension, even to myself.
I enter the room with movements like an unskilled golem.
