Chapter 42 The Third Morning ②
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Let’s do this!”
I threw open the door and took my first step out, only to freeze. I heard another door clicking open right nearby. I turned around and saw a woman stepping out from the room next to mine. It was pink-haired Stella. She was radiating that same neat and refined aura as yesterday, though she looked a bit sleepy. Jane called out to her.
”Oh, good morning, Stella. Are you headed to the Princess’s room as well?”
”Yes, Jane. And…” Stella turned beet-red the moment she saw me. Wait, did I do something?
”Good morning, Master Anma♪ I was just about to head to Lady Leticia’s room. If you two are going the same way, please, let me join you.”
She started walking over. Well, I was actually looking for the dining hall.
”My apologies, but Master Anma and I are heading to the dining hall,” Jane said.
”Is that so? Then I’ll walk with you until our paths split.”
The Princess’s room was indeed on the way to the dining hall. I didn’t have a reason to say no, so we headed off together. That said, it was really just going up one flight of stairs. Since Stella and I had only briefly met yesterday, we hadn’t actually talked. Jane and Stella did most of the talking while we climbed the stairs. During the walk, Stella kept stealing glances at me. On top of that, even while talking to Jane, she’d occasionally turn red as if she’d just realized something. What is her deal? Even when Jane asked, ‘Is something the matter?’ she just stammered, ‘N-no! It’s nothing!’ It was weird.
Feeling suspicious, we reached Princess Leticia’s room. “Well then, excuse me,” Stella said, quickly ducking inside. I turned to Jane as we continued toward the dining hall.
”What was up with Stella? She was acting a bit sketchy. Is she always like that?”
”Not at all. She isn’t the most talkative person, but she usually stands her ground and says what’s on her mind. She never stammers like that.”
As we walked along wondering what was up, we ran into Kuroki and Flora coming out of a nearby room. Apparently, this was Kuroki’s room.
”Good morning, Flora. You’ve shown up at the perfect time. Could you take over looking after Master Anma?”
”Good morning. Yeah, I don’t mind, but…” Flora gave a wry smile. I didn’t get it. She looked at us and said, “Before anyone else spots you, you’d better hurry up and get to the Princess’s room.”
”Excuse me? Spots us…?” As Jane stood there with a question mark over her head, Flora shooed her away, saying, “Just go, it’s better if you hurry.” Then Kuroki approached me and spoke up.
”That girl… I think I caught a weird smell from her. I wonder what it was?”
Oh, right. She had come to my bedroom right after I took a bath. It seemed like she’d been giving me head for several minutes, so the scent must have rubbed off on her. I wish I could’ve said something. But based on this reaction, it seemed Kuroki didn’t know what the smell actually was. A lucky break, maybe. Just as I was feeling relieved, Flora added one more thing.
”She had marks on her neck, too. Must have been a pretty big ‘beast’ that latched onto her.”
She was grinning ear to ear. That’s the look of someone who knows exactly what happened. I desperately sent her a mental plea to please keep quiet, and she just replied with a wink. …Is this going to be okay? Kuroki started worrying about what kind of giant bug it was, while Flora explained that the maids could use insect repellent magic⁴. I headed to the dining hall with them.

[Jane’s Side]
”I wonder what that was all about.”
After entrusting Master Anma to Flora, I headed to Princess Leticia’s room. Inside, I could see the Princess and Alisha in the back.
”Good morning. I’ve come for the morning report.”
”Ah, good morning, Jane,” Leticia said. “I heard from Stella. Sounds like you were having some very ‘fun’ play since early this morning.”
”Pardon? I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean desuwa.”
From the Princess’s smile, it was obvious she was teasing me. But still, what was she talking about? Seeing my confusion, the Princess tilted her head.
”Stella said you had hickeys on your neck and were dripping with an erotic scent-like a cocktail of male and female pheromones. Didn’t you have Master Anma mark you just to claim you’re his woman?”
”We were just talking about how you’re doing such extreme things so early in the day,” Alisha added. “I was shocked to hear you had that kind of kink, Jane. Or… was it not a kink? Were you just walking around wearing that smell naturally?”
My face turned boiling hot as I remembered Stella and Flora’s reactions. Those girls… they realized I smelled like sex and that was why they acted like that? Especially Stella! Every time she glanced at Master Anma and me, what on earth was she thinking?!
”STELLA!” I screamed. “Just what exactly did you tell Leticia-sama?!”
”Stella is busy getting breakfast ready, so just wait a second,” the Princess giggled. “Oh, I’ll have some perfume ready for you later. Make sure to put it on before you go home after the meal.”
Princess Leticia continued to giggle. This was no laughing matter! If Flora hadn’t stopped me in the hallway, I would have been exposed in front of all the other Heroes in the dining hall!
”I haven’t even heard the full story yet,” Leticia teased. “Just the stuff about the morning bl**job. I’m going to hear about last night now.”
”Why does Stella know about this morning?! And how could she possibly know about last night?!”
I shouted, but the Princess just tilted her head again, looking genuinely puzzled. No, was I the one being weird? Because she was acting so normal about it, I actually started to calm down a bit.
”Jane, the maid’s quarters are designed so that if you go into the bedroom closet, you can hear everything in the next room. There are even peepholes to check inside. Stella said she figured that since you started having s*x in the bedroom, it was an invitation to watch.”
”There is no way that is an invitation! Isn’t she being completely insane desuwa?!”
It’s not my fault! There aren’t any other beds besides the ones in the bedrooms, so that’s the only place we could do it! It wasn’t to let Stella watch! (Though, even the servants’ rooms have peepholes…)
I knew the Anti-eavesdropping magic² had its limits, but those peepholes were the Queen’s idea. She’d said, ‘If we’re going to hear it anyway, we might as well see it.’ It wasn’t supposed to be for spying on people’s private affairs!
”Apparently she was watching until the middle of the night yesterday, and she was back at it again early this morning,” Leticia said. “She was actually grumbling about it-said she couldn’t look away and ended up sleep-deprived.”
”She spies on someone’s room without permission and then has the nerve to complain desuwa?!”
While I was arguing with the Princess, Stella walked in. She had a perfectly composed face.
”Princess, breakfast is ready. Jane, stop making a scene and take your seat.”
”I am ‘making a scene’ because of you desuwa!”
”I used my Heating magic³ so neither of you caught a cold while you were naked. You should be thanking me,” Stella shot back.
”I appreciate the magic, but that is not the point desuwa!”
I took my seat, following Stella who just ignored my complaints. It seemed there were only four of us today. The other maids were there, but they’d eat later.
”Wait, were you really not trying to show me?” Stella asked. “In the seated position, you kept kissing him like you were showing off, and in the cowgirl position, your hip-work was so magnificent. I truly thought you wanted to show off to a single woman like me.”
”Your delusions are incredible desuwa. I had no idea I was being watched!”
”But I told Master Anma at noon yesterday, ‘I’m looking forward to tonight,’” Stella pointed out.
”What?! That is what you meant?! There is no way Master Anma understood that either desuwa!”
”Anyway, Stella,” the Princess interrupted, her eyes practically sparkling with curiosity. “How was Master Anma last night? Give us the details.”
I wanted to disappear. I had planned to dodge any questions, but since Stella had been watching the whole time, there was no point in lying…
”Well, Master Anma started by giving Corinna a Breast Enhancement Massage¹,” Stella began. “After that, he did missionary once with Corinna, and once each with Jane in doggy style and laying doggy style. After a little break, he did doggy style once with Corinna, then went back to Jane for missionary, the seated position, and cowgirl in a row. From what I heard, he changed positions every time he came, so he must have ej***lated at least seven times.”
”Wait… seven?” Alisha blinked. “Isn’t that… a lot? Or is it just me?”
”It’s a lot. Seven times last night alone is plenty, plus he was with Jane yesterday morning, too. Jane doesn’t even remember the count, but he definitely didn’t finish less than ten times yesterday.”
Alisha was right-it was a huge number. They weren’t even counting the session in the bath, so if you include that, ten is the absolute minimum, plus whatever happened while I was blacked out…
”He really is a beast…” Leticia mused. “By the way, how many times did Jane and Corinna finish?”
”I couldn’t tell from the closet,” Stella said. “Jane, do you remember?”
”I have no idea desuwa!” I snapped. “Corinna was climaxing over and over, and I lost consciousness myself!”
”Hmm. Right. What should we do, then?”
The Princess fell into thought, and Alisha asked, “Is something bothering you?”
”Well, Master Anma’s ability is supposed to level up by making women climax, right? If Jane and Corinna were finishing that much, I thought he’d have leveled up by now.”
”That’s possible. Stella, Jane? Did either of you notice anything?”
I thought about it, but nothing came to mind. Stella didn’t have anything either.
”Then maybe the effect is just hard to notice, or the number of climaxes he needs to level up is just really high… At the latest, let’s have him Appraisal⁵ again next week before my massage. That should reveal it. But… what if the number really is that high?”
She turned to me and smirked. I didn’t back down. I smiled right back.
”If that’s the case, I’ll just have to climax as many times as it takes. It won’t be a problem desuwa.”
”…I see. Then it’s fine.”
She gave a wide, predatory grin. Unlike her earlier smile, this one felt very ominous.
”Lucky you, Stella. It sounds like you can watch her climax as many times as you want.”
”Oh, my. Fufu… I’m looking forward to it.”
”THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT DESUWA!”
They both giggled. This woman really does love teasing people.

Character Insight:
Jane struggles with the clash between her high-class dignity and her intense sexual submissiveness, eventually prioritizing her service to Anma’s level-up over her own shame. Stella is revealed as a shameless voyeur who uses ‘duty’ as an excuse for her habits. Leticia demonstrates her power by manipulating the social embarrassment of her subordinates for entertainment.
