Chapter 341: It’s All right for the time being

We ended up taking a bath first. My mother seemed to want to show my father her swimsuit, so she planned to wait for him to finish his work. She had asked Fabienne, “Please tell me your thoughts later.”

I wonder what kind of expression my father will have? I’ll ask my mother about it later. I’m looking forward to it.

We changed into our swimsuits in the changing room. I asked the servants to set up a screen to separate the men and women in the changing room.

That should do it. Unless there’s an unexpected accident, like the screen falling down suddenly, Fabienne’s changing scene won’t be visible.

“Julius-sama, it’s fine. The foundation is solid, so it won’t fall over.”

“R-right, you’re right. Nero, how does it fit?”

“No problem. It feels a bit strange, though.”

Nero gave a wry smile. It’s not a boomerang type, but it seems like there’s a slight discomfort. Well, we’ll get used to it soon enough. Besides, I won’t be wearing it every time, just when I’m in the bath with a lady.

I should’ve made swimsuits for the servants who are with Fabienne as well. Maybe if I just ask them to wrap towels around themselves, that will work? I’ll make it a simple bikini style that’s easy to change into for them.

After changing, we headed to the bath first. Of course, we washed our bodies before getting in. At that time, we also checked the swimsuits. I think everything should be fine…

“This is amazing, Julius-sama. This fabric really doesn’t become see-through in water. If we wear it in the bath, there should be no problem at all.”

“It seems so.”

While Nero was washing my back, I sensed someone else entering behind me. I was covered in bubbles, but I turned around without worrying about it.

First, I needed to check on Fabienne. That would determine whether or not I’d ask Nero to leave. Please, let there be no problems.

“J-Julius-sama, it’s embarrassing when you look at me like that.”

“S-sorry.”

Fabienne, wearing her swimsuit, blushed shyly and covered her body with both hands. I instinctively looked away and faced forward.

Hmm, pass! The parts I shouldn’t be looking at are hidden, and the cute, appealing parts are still there. I did a good job.

“It suits you well, that swimsuit.”

“Well, of course. It’s the swimsuit you made for me, Julius-sama.”

Sitting next to me, Fabienne said that. Nero, who had stopped moving, started again. It seems that he recognized there was no problem. Well, the servants coming from behind Fabienne were all naked, though. I’ll prepare it by today. I’ve got to do my best.

I had chosen a modest frill, but Fabienne still looked like a cute yellow flower blooming in the field. Maybe next time I’ll go for a blue polka dot pattern? The possibilities are endless. Nero seemed relieved, and I could feel strength in the way he was washing my body.

After washing our bodies together, Fabienne and I soaked in the bath. I carefully observed, but the swimsuit didn’t become see-through.

It wasn’t see-through, but maybe the fabric thickness was a little lacking… yeah, I can’t say more about it. From now on, I’ll make sure to use thicker fabric for the important areas.

For now, this is fine. With this, I can take Nero into the bath with me. And with this, I can comfortably bathe with my sister-in-law Daniela too. I won’t have to make my sister-in-law Daniela sad anymore.

Since we all bathed together once, they’ve been regularly inviting me to bathe with them. It seems they can’t say it directly to my parents, so for now, it has ended in vain attempts.

Each time, my sister-in-law Daniela makes a sad face. It’s like my chest is being squeezed.

If I saw that face, I wouldn’t be able to refuse either. I guess that’s why my Alex-niisan must also bathe with sister-in-law Daniela. Though, there might be some impure intentions involved.

“With this, we can bathe together without worry.”

“Indeed. It’s made things more fun.”

Fabienne smiled happily. It seems she wasn’t lying. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to occasionally bathe together. With this, my father and mother can bathe together too. I’ll have Fabienne report it properly to my mother.

“By the way, it fits perfectly, this swimsuit.”

“…”

Fabienne said, bouncing the swimsuit a little. In a way, it’s almost like I measured it. Of course, it fits perfectly. I’ll be more careful when making swimsuits for sister-in-law Daniela and sister-in-law Mika. I’ll have the servants measure the dimensions.

I should’ve done that from the start. I’m such a fool.

“Fabienne, if you like it, I’ll make another swimsuit with a different pattern. How about a light blue polka dot one?”

“Oh, that sounds like it would be a cute swimsuit.”

“I wonder if Rosalia would want a matching polka dot one too.”

“Hehe, Rosalia-chan would probably say she wants a swimsuit too.”

She knows exactly what’s going on. If Fabienne and my mother have swimsuits, Rosalia will definitely want one too. I should make one for her in advance.

The craftsmen have started to get the hang of things, and I thought I might have more free time soon, but it looks like I’ll be busy for a little while longer.

Even so, this is far less awkward than bathing with naked Fabienne, my mother, or my sisters-in-law. This is the point where I need to do my best. I’ll ask my sisters-in-law later what kind of swimsuits they would like.
