Volume 13 Chapter 182 Kohina Yukari, I’m Not Bored!!
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Beep beep… beep beep beep beep…
I slowly wake up to the soft sound of the alarm I set myself.
”Mmm, it’s so noisy. Ugh.”
As I roll over, I entangle my feet with my Aqua body pillow.
Huh?
Where’s my blanket?
Something feels drafty down there, and somehow my pajama pants have gone missing.
Beep beep… beep beep beep beep…
”Ugh… can’t I at least sleep in a little longer in the morning?”
At 5 AM, I wake up and reach for the alarm clock sitting on my bedside.
’It’s morning, Yukari-oneechan. Time to wake up~’
”Okay, okay, I know.”
I tap the switch on top of my Shiro-kun shaped alarm clock.
….
…….
………snooze.
”Huh!?”
Oh no, the blanket feels too good; I almost fell back asleep.
I wake myself up and rub my sleepy eyes as I stare at my reflection in the window.
Ugh… my hair is a mess.
I adjust the twisted outer garment of my pajamas.
”Achoo!”
I might have caught a cold because I left the air conditioner on.
Dragging Aqua’s body pillow, I head to the large bath through the wide corridors of Shirogane Kingdom.
”Yukari, what’s wrong!?”
Huh?
Is this voice… Maron?
Hey, why are you awake at this time?
”Wandering around like that, where are you planning to go!?”
”Before taking a bath… I need to go to the toilet”
”Hawawawa”
Maron, with a flustered look on his face, takes me to the bathroom.
”Yukari, did you do it right? Don’t sleep in the toilet. And you’re not going to be too lazy to wipe yourself with tissue because you’re going to take a bath anyway, right!?”
”Mmm”
Oh dear, Maron is still as worrisome as ever.
Even I can use the toilet by myself, and I wipe myself properly with tissue!
Enough!!
”Yukari, you didn’t bring any spare clothes or underwear… did you?”
”Mmm”
Maron took me to the large public bath, took off my clothes, and washed my body in the bathtub.
”Hey, Yukari!?”
I’m going to sleep again in the bath with Maron’s breasts as a pillow.
Huh, I see.
I think I might have understood a little bit why Useless Aqua was passionately explaining to Mayuzumi-kun with a serious face about wanting to sleep with my boobs as a pillow every day if he could.
But Aqua, since Mayuzumi-kun, who was listening to that story, looked really confused, it’s probably better to drop that topic.
”Mama, thank you”
”I’m not Yukari’s Mama. Come on! I don’t know why you’re up at this hour, but you should wake up soon, or Aqua-kun will spot you and tease you.”
”I don’t want that”
I suddenly woke up.
After getting out of the bath, I wiped my body and changed clothes.
”Huh? My underwear and pajamas aren’t in my locker”
Instead, there are new underwear and loungewear placed there.
”Ah, I asked the staff to get you a change of clothes and extra underwear before you took a bath.”
Speaking of which, I feel like Maron had said something to the maid before I took a bath.
Still, it’s kinda creepy how this underwear fits perfectly without me telling the size.
”This spare underwear was apparently chosen by Aqua-kun for each girl.”
”How boring. That guy is busy, so he should do something more worthwhile when he’s got free time, or just sleep and rest.”
After getting out of the bath, I had a light breakfast with Maron.
It seems Maron has plans for a trip, so after finishing her meal, she headed to her room to get her things.
”Well then, I suppose I should get to my own work.”
When I remove a book from the bookshelf, the bookshelf attached to the wall slowly slides to the side.
It’s what they call a secret passage.
The main residence of Shirogane Kingdom was originally constructed as a building with the silly name of Snowstorm Emily Castle, and gimmicks from that time are still found everywhere.
I enter the hidden door behind the bookshelf and put on a wig and a familiar classic maid outfit.
”Oh, I almost forgot my glasses and headband”
I stand in front of the mirror and make sure I’m perfectly groomed.
From here on, I have to get into the role properly.
After passing through the secret passage and arriving at the room, I calmly and slowly open the door.
I stepped into the harem located within the Shirogane Kingdom and walked down the corridor toward the grand hall.
”I wonder when Aqua-sama will arrive?”
”The first person you visit is very important, so aren’t you still pondering over it?”
”Oh? Isn’t it Kukuri-sama that you are supposed to visit first? That would be the proper order.”
”If we’re talking about proper order, isn’t it the visit to Victoria-sama, a star of our allied nation?”
”Victoria-sama is Kanon-sama’s older sister, so you’ve met her informally several times.”
”If we’re going to bring that up, then Kukuri-sama has had many informal meetings as a senior and junior, idol and producer, hasn’t she?”
”Oh? If we’re talking about proper order, shouldn’t it be the princesses of the world’s greatest nation, the States?”
It seems the harem maids gathered in the grand hall are buzzing with gossip.
Thanks to the strategies that Emily-chan and I devised, Aqua has visited the harem several times, but he has never officially visited the rooms of the princesses here.
He has visited the rooms of Victoria-san and Kukuri-san a few times, but that was during the day and wasn’t an official visit following proper procedures.
The official visits everyone is talking about here involve notifying the home country through ambassadors in advance and visiting the rooms at night.
”Proper order!? I see, if we’re talking about proper order, it’s definitely a one-choice scenario with Suu-sama’s cute, hairless loli butt!”
I feel like I might fall over from the sheer ridiculousness of the statement.
Wait a minute!
Don’t say such foolish things about dignified matters!
”Haniina Olcard-san, are you kidding me?”
”No, I’m always serious! When you say muscle, you mean hairless, and when you say muscle, you mean loli. Back then, I was a middle school student before I even cooked red rice… Hmm! No, it’s nothing.”
Haniina Olcard──Emily-chan is a harem maid in disguise.
Kanon-san, it’s not too late, so you should pull Emily-chan out.
Before your own wound spreads, you should hurry.
When I go down the stairs, I deliberately make my heels click loudly.
Clack, clack…
Just from that sound, the palace maidens who were chatting until a moment ago suddenly shut their mouths.
As I slowly descend the stairs, I take a look around the hall at the maidens standing in the cold morning air and the tense atmosphere.
”5:55 AM, 0 tardiness, well done”
I snap shut the cover of my pocket watch and slowly walk among them, making my heels click.
In this place, I’m not Kohina Yukari.
I’m Hirano Yukika, the head of the palace overseeing the maids and staff.
I speak to one of the palace maids who is standing stiffly with a tense expression.
”You, your hair is a mess.”
”I-I’m sorry. I didn’t have time to take a bath after cleaning.”
One of the palace maids bows her head apologetically.
This girl is certainly on the night shift.
They are scheduled to leave before 7 AM, so there won’t be any meetings with the princesses in the morning.
Even so, there are princesses who wake up at this time, and the chances of encountering one on a morning walk aren’t 0.
I thought it would be better for her to receive my correction here than to be pointed out by the princesses later.
”You should go back and take a bath in your room right away. Also, be more careful next time. There are plenty of others who want to work here.”
”Y-yes. Thank you very much.”
Me, who was just getting a bath prepared by Maron earlier, has no right to say such things…
But it’s better than getting fired.
In fact, many people want to work here, and if you are rude to one of the princesses, you will have to leave.
It’s better to point out and eliminate the possibility in advance.
”Guhhhh”
On the other hand, I wonder why that girl hasn’t been fired.
Even as far as I know, she’s only engaged in problematic behavior, such as groping the princess’s breasts and buttocks in lucky pervert situations, trying to show the princess pornographic books, and sexually harassing her with dirty talk, but no complaints have been filed.
On the contrary, she is on good terms with princesses from every country.
With Emily-chan and the sweet Kanon-san, I wonder if they have some kind of skill against princesses.
”That’s all from me. Everyone, let’s do our best today as well. And to the night shift maids, thank you for your hard work; take your time to rest your bodies in preparation for your next shift.”
After they disperse, I need to check the cleaning.
I will properly check whether everyone has cleaned up.
Hmm… perfect.
I stare at my index finger, which has brushed against the window sill, and then gently blow on it.
”Is breakfast ready?”
”I’m sorry. I’m a little late.”
Well, it can’t be helped.
I help out where there are not enough hands.
It’s okay, I’m not Kohina Yukari.
Right now, the one performing is the perfect lady, Hirano Yukika.
There’s no way such a woman wouldn’t be able to cook at least one dish.
I completely trace the movements of Aqua, the person I know to be the best at cooking.
I can’t cook, but I might be able to trace the movements of someone who is cooking.
Thinking that, I decided to use Aqua in exchange for repaying various debts from before.
’Huh? You’re going to cook dressed as a maid and with a girl’s feelings?’
’Yeah. Well then, try making the menu written here.’
Looking back, I feel like it would have been easier to trace Emily-chan instead of having to go out of my way to trace Aqua.
Anyway, I completely traced his movements by observing, studying, and practicing those cooking actions.
The problem is that the seasoning ends up being 100% identical to Aqua’s example, but that can’t be helped.
The maids in charge of cooking the miso soup I made tasted it.
”Ahh! Miso soup of the Head of the Palace is always delicious…!”
”Miso soup…I heard that Aqua-sama’s Miso soup is very delicious”
”I’d like to try it at least once”
That’s what Miso soup is like, so savour it and drink it.
I made it, but I traced the amount of miso I used down to the last 0.1g, so it’s 100% Aqua Miso Soup.
The problem is, I can only make as much as he made, so I can’t make more or less.
After the meal is prepared, all the princesses come down from their rooms to the big cafeteria at once.
Basically, the rule is that except for princesses who are unwell, we have meals together for breakfast, lunch, and dinner unless we are going out.
”Oh, that loungewear is lovely!”
”No, no, you look gorgeous!”
Seeing the princesses complimenting each other gives me an indescribable feeling.
Yeah… it’s really different from what I was imagining.
’What a vulgar outfit you have on! I almost mistook you for a prostitute. Oh, I’m so sorry!’
’Oh, did you say something? I mistook you for just a maid because you look so old-fashioned and lacking in charm. My apologies!’
’Muu, how rude!’
I was imagining something like that, but looking around, a peaceful atmosphere floats everywhere.
They say pets resemble their owners, but I wonder if that’s really the case since Kanon-san chose them?
”Olcard-san, do you have time later?”
”Haniina-san, it’s fine after that, but could you stop by my room? I have something to discuss.”
…Emily-chan, instead of getting fired for disrespect, she’s actually quite popular.
What on earth is going on?!
Is it that Emily-chan does have the princess special attack buff after all?
”I wonder if Morikawa-san will come visit again?”
”I really like talking to that person; it’s so easy!”
Kaede has that kind of side to her too, doesn’t she?
I proudly share the same nightmare generation.
After breakfast, we were supposed to go to Victoria-san’s room.
I re-energized myself, glared at Emily-chan, who had a sulky look on her face, and left the Cafeteria with good manners.
