Chapter 165: Sleeping with a Beautiful Girl
Thus… the curtain fell on the first day of the magic frontier development.
Rest returned with commendable results and entered the tent that had been provided to him to rest.
Though it was called a tent, the one given to Rest, who was a count, was about the size of a small studio apartment. Inside the tent, there was a bed and a table.
It was closer to glamping than camping.
“But… there’s only one bed.”
“Um… is it cramped, Rest-sama?”
Primula asked.
“No… it’s not cramped.”
Ad
Rest replied, answering with a blank mind to Primula’s voice coming from right next to him.
The bed was spacious enough for him to stretch out his arms, but with four people lying down, it was indeed a bit cramped.
The bed was not just for Rest; it also included Viola, who had come to support him, and Primula, along with Yuri, who had rolled in.
The closeness made their body heat palpable, along with the scent of floral perfume and a hint of sweat.
And… despite trying his best not to think about it, the sensation of soft bodies pressed against him was hard to ignore.
(Despite being the same human… why do men and women feel so different physically?)
Maybe women’s bodies were made of marshmallows… such silly thoughts began to take shape in his mind.
“…It’s been a while since I slept close to Rest. It feels rather refreshing.”
Viola said from his right.
The heartbeat of Viola, who had cuddled up to his arm, was somewhat quick, conveying her excitement at this rare situation.
“It’s a strange feeling, isn’t it? It’s like we’re outside, but not really, and it makes my heart race…”
Ad
Primula said, echoing the sentiment from his left.
Her heartbeat was just a bit faster than Viola’s, and her body temperature felt slightly higher as well.
*Cough, cough…!*
“Are you alright, Rest?”
“Did something happen, Rest-sama?”
“No… it’s nothing. The air might just be a bit dry…”
Rest shook off his distracting thoughts and resorted to the clichéd method of counting prime numbers in his mind.
“We have a water pitcher, right? Should I get it?”
Then, from beyond Viola, Yuri also chimed in.
Since there was one person between them, they weren’t physically touching, which brought a bit of relief.
Ad
It was a comfort to some extent, but unlike his fiancées, he was just sharing a bed with a classmate—a mere friend—which felt quite sinful.
(If this situation were to be seen by Marquis Catreya… Haha, that wouldn’t be funny. I’d be killed…)
His excited mind cooled slightly.
If he were to touch Yuri, it would feel like a death sentence.
The father of the Rosemary sisters also doted on his daughter, but Marquis Catreya’s affection was of a different kind.
From what he had heard, he was so protective that he confined his daughter to the mansion and even kept her under house arrest.
If this situation were to reach his ears, he couldn’t imagine what he would do.
“Hehe… this is kind of fun. I’m really excited. Just sleeping with friends makes it feel like I’m doing something really bad.”
Yuri said, her voice filled with exhilaration.
Viola let out a light sigh in response to her words.
“Yuri… please don’t go climbing into a man’s bed where we can’t see you. There are plenty of bad men in the world.”
“Yuri, you can be careless at times… I worry you might give the wrong impression to a man…”
Primula echoed her sister’s concern.
“I know Yuri is very strong, but there are men who deceive women and do bad things. You shouldn’t trust men too easily, okay?”
“Yeah… you’re right. I’ll be careful.”
Yuri readily agreed to the Rosemary sisters’ words.
“I just got tricked and locked away by my father and brother the other day… so I’ll be careful not to trust people’s words too easily.”
“Ah… I heard something like that happened.”
“Yeah. A woman who was my nurse told me to come back because she fell ill… but when I returned, she was perfectly fine. I ended up being locked in a room, and I had to nearly beat up the soldiers and my brother to escape.”
“I see…”
“What a crazy family… mine is pretty bad too, though.”
“The Catreya family is a renowned knight family, after all… it must be a special circumstance.”
Rest and the Rosemary sisters both grimaced at the terrifying circumstances of the Catreya family.
“I’ve decided I’ll never return to the Catreya family, no matter what happens! I must keep my mother’s dying wish!”
“Your mother’s dying wish… what’s that about?”
It was the first he had heard of it.
Rest asked curiously, but… Yuri fell silent in response.
“…Yuri?”
“…It’s a secret. I’ll tell you someday, Rest.”
“…………?”
Ad
There was something different about Yuri’s voice, an unusual luster he felt.
Rest tried not to think about the presence and sensations of the three girls around him, and somehow managed to fall asleep.
