Volume 5 Chapter 14 Epilogue: The Me So Far, The Us From Now On


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 ”…Master… Sir Soyuz.”

 ”…Soyuu…”


 The nightmare—the terrifying dream from my past that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

 When I woke up, my two precious female slaves were clinging to me with teary eyes.


 ”Sir Soyuz… Did you have a frightening dream…?”

 ”Soyuu, please don’t cry. When you’re sad, I am also sad…”


 With genuine concern and anxiety in their eyes, they both shed tears.

 They hugged me tightly from both sides and kissed my eyelids. It was then that I realized I was crying too.


 So, I still cry after seeing such dreams.


 The bitter aftertaste in my chest.

 But… it feels like the kisses they give me to wipe away my tears gradually melt the bitterness.


 Ah, I’m so loved by Lena and Vera…


 Tears welled up in my eyes, but for a different reason this time.

 I tightly embraced both of them in my arms.

 ”Ah…”

 ”Soyuu.”


 The two, who initially showed surprise, hugged me back just as tightly when they felt the strength in my arms.


 ”Thank you, Lena. Vera. I love you both.”


 Lena’s body trembled slightly.

 Vera held me tighter in her arms.

 I turned my face to each of them and kissed them.


 ”Sir Soyuz… Although I do not know what I can do… If there is anything at all that this slave can do to help, please let me know. Lena’s purpose in life is to ensure that you enjoy a healthy existence. I will do anything for that purpose,” Lena said sincerely, looking into my eyes.


 ”Soyuu helped me, even though I’m like this. He takes such good care of me. I also want to do anything and everything for Soyuu,” Vera added, gazing at me with innocent eyes.


 ”Lena… Vera… I’m so happy that you’re both here.”


 Since parting ways with my master until now, it felt as if the threads of my heart had been strained and suddenly snapped.

 An indescribable mixture of relief and uneasiness washed over me.

 It felt warm and bittersweet.


 Ah, this emotion…

 I had completely forgotten about it.


 Right now, I feel incredibly lonely. But the presence of my two beloved girls heals that loneliness.

 I held their bodies close, as if clinging to them, and hugged them even tighter.


 ”Please… let me rely on both of you for just a little while…”


 I seemed to have muttered those words without realizing it.


 ”!?…”

 ”Soyuu…”


 Like a young child depending on their mother, I—the pathetic and embarrassing master—was met with an even tighter embrace from the two of them.


 ”Sir Soyuz… My heart truly yearns for you, my master. Please, for now, find solace in this chest of Lena. This body that you have healed, please feel free to use it as you wish,” Lena whispered, cradling my head and gently holding me against her chest.


 ”Soyuu. Kind Soyuu. Beloved Soyuu. You can be spoiled. You can be spoiled by me and big sister Lena as much as you want. When you let us spoil you, we are so very happy,” Vera said, embracing my back from behind and stroking my head as if soothing a child.


 ”…Thank you… Lena… Vera…”


 It was a relief that Lena was holding my head against her chest. Surely, I must look pitifully tearful right now.

 ”I love you both… always, stay by my side… okay?”


 I struggled to hold back my tears, making a visible effort to keep them from spilling over.

 At my words, the two of them trembled and held me even tighter.

 These girls call me their “benefactor” and cherish me dearly, but…

 In the warmth of the bodies holding me, I quietly let my tears flow.
