Chapter 240: The Hot Spring, the Duke’s Daughter, and the Moon “What can I say…? Rest-san, you’re quite adorable.” After finishing the discussion about their engagement, Celestine let out a slow sigh. The location was the same as before—the open-air hot spring. Rest had turned bright red and hurriedly left the bath, likely now dressed […]
Chapter 239: The Hot Spring and a New Engagement “Marriage… huh? Wait, what? Why?” That topic had never come up before. While Celestine and I were friendly as acquaintances, we had never had excessive interactions like I did with Yuri. “…No, wait. If His Majesty the King and Duke Crocus have both agreed, then this
Chapter 238: The Hot Spring and the Duke’s Daughter An unexpected accident occurred during Rest’s bath in the open-air hot spring. A completely unforeseen development—yet, in some ways, a cliché. He had encountered Celestine Crocus. “W-Wait… This is the men’s bath… Or—hold on, did I accidentally wander into the women’s bath!?” “Please, calm down, Rest.
Chapter 237: The Hot Spring and an Unexpected Accident After savoring a Japanese-style meal, the next stop was the hot spring. There was an indoor bath available, but of course, the outdoor hot spring was the real attraction. Stripping off his clothes in the changing room, Rest wrapped a towel around his lower body and
Chapter 236: Gratitude to a Friend Although Rest had left the villa, he did not immediately return to the royal capital. By then, the sun was already setting, and traveling back at this hour seemed unwise. Thus, he decided to stay overnight at an inn in a nearby village. “This is… quite the grand inn.
Chapter 235: I’ve Returned “This place… is it the study in the villa? Did I come back?” A place unfamiliar to him. He had been talking to a high school girl somewhere in rural Japan, but before he knew it, he was back in his original location. In Rest’s hand was an old wooden box.
Chapter 234: The Queen Dowager’s Revenge “……” Shoko—or rather, Queen Dowager Frederica Iwood—revealed her gruesome past. (The Queen Dowager had her family and fiancé murdered, and was forcibly made the consort of a tyrant. I knew that story…) But never did he expect to hear it directly from her lips. As Rest silently watched her,
Chapter 233: Don’t Call Me Whoopi “I see. So, Whoopi inherited Ro-chan’s legacy and took over that land, and that’s why you came to investigate my villa.” “…That’s right.” Rest, pushed up against the sailor uniform, or rather, as part of the negotiation, revealed the information. Shoko, with a slight frown, responded. “I see, I
Chapter 232: The Former Queen Dowager Is a High School Girl After solving a simple riddle and opening the box, Rest found himself in a rural bus stop somewhere in Japan. On the bench sat a high school girl in a sailor uniform, drinking juice through a straw while staring at him. “You… what? And,
Chapter 231: Exposing the Queen Dowager’s Secret Inside the Queen Dowager’s villa, in the study’s desk drawer, was an enormous stack of illustrations depicting men in rather intimate situations.
