Volume 3 Chapter 21 Last Night Was Enjoyable I
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Kian was told to spend the night in some room on the third floor of the witch’s dormitory, but every room had its bed stripped of blankets.
It wasn’t what Lucretia had said, but as an adventurer, he’d slept in much worse beds before, so he didn’t really mind.
After lying on the bare wooden slat bed for about 30 minutes, he suddenly felt Christy climbing the stairs.
Through his ‘glasses’, he could see the witch’s magic power still lingering in each room.
It seemed like they had all returned to their own beds.
Christy must have come here to secretly invite Kian to her room.
Observing her figure through the Wall, he saw her stumble over a step and jump back in surprise.
It was kind of cute, making him want to tease her.
After reaching the third floor, Christy started knocking politely on each room, calling out Kian’s name softly.
She didn’t seem like she wanted to play any cruel tricks, trying every room.
So, Kian decided to leave his room on his own.
”Christy”
”──Ah, Kian”
”To be greeted by the Princess herself, huh?”
”Shhh, keep your voice down. Lucretia might hear us.──Speaking of which, what are you calling me, Princess?”
”The beautiful black-haired woman I’m going to have a rendezvous with tonight. In other words, you. Are you going to guide me to your room?”
”That’s what I’m doing… But your way of speaking is kind of weird. Go back to your normal tone.”
Christy, glaring at him with her usual steely gaze, was wearing a white negligee.
Her luscious black hair was slightly damp, tied up in a purple ribbon, with one loose strand cascading down her left shoulder.
She looked exactly like a woman who had just stepped out of the bath.
And there was a faint, almost intoxicating scent of a married woman about her.
Kian felt his groin tingle with arousal.
Christy pressed her slender finger to her pale lips and, with a slight gesture of her chin, beckoned him towards her.
”Come here. Quickly. The bed in that third-floor room wasn’t properly made, was it?”
”You’re right. Ms. Lucretia seems to have been talking nonsense.”
”That girl, she’s sometimes clueless. She’s good at gathering people, and her social skills are way better than mine.”
”Oh, really?”
”Yes, really.”
Following the black-haired witch who held up the lamp, walking behind her.
With her hair tied in a single bun in front, her white neck was fully exposed.
Despite being a young woman not yet 20, she exuded a mature charm.
When she talks, she’s adorable──rather, cute.
But when she’s silent, she’s a beautiful, mature woman with a stern beauty, he reaffirm here.
She has a cold, refined aura unlike any commoner.
And if you hold her close, she smells very good.
Indeed, she’s a top-notch female.
Unaware of the male gaze targeting her from behind, Christy, reaching the stairs, began to descend slowly with a serious, beautiful profile.
”Slowly, slowly…. The stairs creak, you know!”
”────”
”Descend slowly. Lucretia has good ears, so make absolutely no noise──”
Creak!
”Eek!”
”……”
”S-sorry! I’ll be careful not to make noise next time──”
Creak!
”Ugh…. I did it again…”
(What is this cute creature?)
”…Christy, are you doing this on purpose?”
”S-sorry!”
Turning around, the black-haired beauty revealed a pitiful face.
She was genuinely flustered over her blunder.
(The question wasn’t about making noise on purpose, but she whether was intentionally being so clumsy on purpose.)
”No, don’t worry about it.”
”Ah! That’s right!”
”What are you planning to mess up next?”
”Listen, Kian! I might be a genius! If stepping on the stairs makes them creak, then not stepping on them at all solves everything!”
The clumsy witch brought the lamp close to her face, boasting with a smug look while saying something incomprehensible.
Christy, pushing the lamp towards Kian, saying “Hold this,” sat her negligee-covered bottom on the stair railing.
Despite wearing glasses that should enhance her calmness, even Kian couldn’t help but widen his eyes at Christy’s bizarre behavior.
”Hey, you idiot, stop it!”
”Don’t worry, don’t worry. Just watch! Believe it or not, I used to go down the stairs of my family’s castle like this when I was little!”
Christy was a woman who had always taken extra care to maintain her figure, even building her own training room in the basement.
Thanks to that, her butt remained firm and small.
She never had to worry about it spilling over or getting stuck when resting on the handrail.
Therefore, sitting on the slanted handrail and lifting her legs off the floor…
”Here I go, yay!”
Her black hair fluttered as she slid down the handrail to the second floor.
The elegant and graceful slide felt almost like riding a broom, but what she was doing was completely that of a child with a single-digit age.
”Yay! What do you think? If I put my mind to it, I can do it!”
And with that, she landed on the second floor with a crash!
It was a pose of triumph with her chest puffed out.
The white nightgown was clinging to her body, revealing the black lingerie underneath.
Her impressive endowments made the nightgown look almost like something a pregnant woman would wear, giving her a boxy shape.
”…That’s impressive. You were really agile.”
I smiled at Christy, who was slowly walking down the stairs, radiating an aura that begged for praise.
”But are you okay down there? That thin fabric must have been hot, right?”
”Not at all. It just got a bit warm.”
”I see. Then just come down normally──”
”I feel like getting into it again. Alright! How about I show off a bit more? Hehehe, Mr. Kian, you better watch closely! ──Hup!”
This time, Christy grabbed the handrail with her arms and swooshed down to the landing.
Kian almost shouted in surprise, but he quickly held back, using Mist Form to swiftly follow after Christy.
She kept accelerating toward the first floor, using the slope formed by the handrail and stairs as a slide without stopping.
Ultimately, Christy landed on the first floor without a hitch, and Kian landed there as well shortly after her.
He was considering giving her a piece of his mind if she was going to put on airs, but she merely blushed a bit with her post-bath face and fiddled with her bangs.
It seems she came to her senses halfway through.
”…Um, Kian. I’m sorry for acting like a child and…, please forgive me.”
(As usual, her emotions swing wildly.)
”Did you have fun?”
”Yeah, a little. But now I’m overwhelmed with embarrassment. I must have been out of my mind.”
”When I’m not around, you can normally walk down the stairs, right? I couldn’t help but worry and watch over you to make sure you wouldn’t get thrown off.”
”I realize I did something dangerous. Normally, I’m the one warning Manon. Ho, really, because when I’m with Kian, somehow I get happy and want to play around.”
”I’m honored to be your special someone.”
”Yeah. Kian is my special person. A unique and irreplaceable person that I like.”
”──Just what is it about you tonight? You seem more adorable than usual.”
”Wha, what? Are you saying I’m not always cute?”
”Usually, you’re more beautiful than cute. Especially when you’re quiet, you look like a noble magician from the palace.”
”What’s that supposed to mean?”
Christy knitted her thick, slender eyebrows together, making a strange face.
After staring at each other for a while, they eventually burst into quiet laughter.
Kian laughed heartily with his hands on his hips, while Christy covered her mouth with her fingers, laughing discreetly like a well-bred lady.
Although she’s clumsy and sometimes starts acting out of sync, she’s still a proper lady through and through.
”Come in, please.”
After their laughter died down, she opened the door to her room next to the staircase and stepped aside.
The room was filled with the fragrance of herbal aromatic oils that she hadn’t smelled in a month.
It was the scent that lingered in Christy’s bedroom and study space.
Upon entering the unlit room, there was a long, narrow room with several unfinished golems lined up.
It was a room large enough for an ordinary woman to live in, but a bit cramped for the room of a witch serving a Margrave.
Only a bed and a desk could be found among the furniture, but the floor cover that leads to the basement was lifted, revealing a stone staircase below.
As usual, it seems she’s once again built a secret empire underground.
There were no wet buckets in the room, so it seems she must have bathed down there as well.
”I’m sorry, it’s so messy here.”
”What about this golem?”
”It’s a side job. The Margrave family is poor now, so I’m making golems to sell to the merchant guild and the martial arts guild. They fetch a pretty penny. It might be a useless trinket for someone like you, but there are plenty of people who want golems.”
”Are you receiving overtime pay from Her Excellency Maribel?”
He crouched down and touched the small golem sitting against the wall with his fingertips.
It had a slightly rough texture on its surface.
