Aaaaaah!
I messed up!
She actually insulted the lord's daughter in front of him!
What am I going to do now!
She glared at me with a smug look, called me ugly, and launched an attack. My first instinct was…!
Uh, what should I do now?
"What? You bitch!? Want to die!? You monster brat!"
"Hey, you bastard! Have you forgotten the etiquette of nobles, you arrogant bitch!" Aaaaah!
I have to hold back, but I really can't!
This woman, why does she look so smug!?
Crestia is known for her meanness, but her daughter's upturned eyes are infuriating!
Forget about the lord, I really want to give her a good spanking! "Etiquette!? Hey! What kind of etiquette is that with a monster?!"
"This...this short, scrawny bitch! I've eaten thousands more bowls of rice than you, you brat!"
"Damn! Not only is she a monster, but she's also an old fogey!?"
"You're the one who's still wet behind the ears, a student without even an ID card!"
"Student? What?! I'm 19!?! Don't treat me like a child!" This is 19?!
A grown woman behaving like this?!
Hearing she's only 19, I want to beat her up even more!
A noble lady that age suddenly launching a personal attack on someone she's just met?!
How did Celestia raise her daughter?!
"Stop, stop! Calm down, Lord Shimo!" The lord's panicked shout was like a bucket of cold water poured over him, bringing his wandering reason back.
Uh...this is a party venue...sigh...look at the nobles' expressions. They all have a ridiculous look on their faces.
I should have been patient… but before I knew it, I was agitated.
I felt like I'd been unwittingly led astray by this wretched woman.
"I-I'm sorry, Lord!" Hah… to speak so harshly to the Lord's daughter in front of so many people… *sobs*
Would my good relationship with the Lord be ruined?
Would they take back the building I gave her…?
"No. Cecilia insulted you first… Cecilia! What a disgraceful thing to do!"
"...But Father… you said we should get along well with monsters. I still can't understand."
"How many times have I told you that Shimo-kun isn't an ordinary monster! Even so, how can you use such rude language towards someone you've just met!" As the Lord shouted, Cecilia pouted and looked away as if the nagging had gone in one ear and out the other.
Could this child also hate monsters like Ceresia? And that repulsive, absent-minded expression she makes when her parents are nagging… Lord. "That was exhausting."
"Before you continue to ruin the atmosphere, go back and reflect on your actions!"
"Okay~" Cecilia replied perfunctorily, then gave Clyia a simple bow, lifted her dress, glanced at me sideways, and left the banquet hall.
Ugh... that smug look on her face was really something...!
If I had seen the lord's daughter today, I was planning to give her a good evaluation...!
Evaluate her? I'll punch her first!
"...Haa. I'm sorry, Shimo. My daughter is just too willful..."
"Ah, it's alright. It was I who did something very rude to Miss Eiai..."
"Eiai..." The lord looked back bitterly at his daughter's departing figure, sighed deeply, and then gave a bitter smile.
"...Actually, my daughter often lived separately from us when she was little. Out of guilt, I always spoiled her whenever we met... By the time I realized it, she'd become so wild."
Ah...she really is spoiled...hmm...if she's 19, Celestia was 22...no, 23 when she was born.
"She can never sit still at her desk, insisting this path suits her, and just like that, she joined the legion. She even declared she'd become a knight of the kingdom. Despite being a commander, she hears I see monsters and immediately rushes out with her sword.
It's giving me a real headache lately."
Hmm. I can tell.
Really...a noble lady, a lord's daughter, spending all her time wielding a sword chasing monsters.
The soldiers must be complaining terribly, right?
Of course, if she's really skilled, that's another story.
She's not a hero, what kind of ability can a mere 19-year-old girl have?
"Leo-kun, always cleaning up my daughter's messes, it's really heartbreaking… Hmm. Anyway, I'm getting off-topic. In any case, I'll pay more attention to my daughter, so please don't dislike her too much."
Ahem!
Lord…!
This overly kind old man…!
Since you're a nobleman, at least show some of the arrogance expected of a nobleman!
You're practically overflowing with guilt towards Celestia!
Moved by the lord's kindness, I returned to a warm and friendly conversation with him.
......
"Ha… What an arrogant brat. To treat the master like that."
After our conversation with the lord, while enjoying the prepared buffet…
Lisbeth poked a piece of meat with her fork and chuckled as if she found it absurd.
"Yeah, that haughty attitude. Even I couldn't help but get angry."
After seeing that wretched woman, Cecilia, I suddenly understood the lord's dark circles.
"Handling lordly duties is busy enough; having such a troublesome daughter must be a real headache."
"Yes. She's truly... a child who needs proper guidance."
Although Clya spoke with an incredibly gentle expression... judging from the force with which she gripped the fork, she seemed to be seething with anger inside.
"Hmm... Cecilia... that child. Is she alright?"
"Her appearance isn't bad. No, if you put aside her arrogance, she's quite an outstanding female."
"Ha. There's still a lot to be disciplined... What does Master think? That little girl. Is she to your liking?"
...Lisbeth. You're only a year younger than her, right? As for whether she's to your liking... well. Well... how should I put it?
Judging by her appearance alone, she's like a younger version of Ceresia with a touch of shrewishness, not bad.
No. Thinking about it carefully, that trait is quite charming; in terms of looks alone, she's definitely worth a try.
However, that ill-mannered one...? Uh…
"…Let's think about Cecilia first… We'll teach that ill-mannered brat a lesson today. Liz."
As I pointed to Ceresia, who was talking to a nobleman, Lizbeth and Claire gave me wicked smiles.
"Oh? Master. Didn't you say you'd try to hold back on 'using that'?"
"Cecilia's ill-mannered behavior made me change my mind. A mother pays the price for her daughter's arrogance. Lizbeth, let's teach her a lesson."
"Aha♡ That's right. Parents should bear the consequences of their children's mistakes♡"
Saying this, Lizbeth pulled out a small bottle containing my horse semen and a palm-sized box of tea leaves from inside her coat.
Although the amount was small… it was extra-concentrated horse semen that Lizbeth had magically concentrated and purified.
As for the tea leaves… let me be frank. They were made by soaking high-grade tea leaves in my horse semen, and then Lizbeth dried them with magic… ...Honestly, at first I was hesitant about how to accept this...but now I've decided to enjoy it.
Anyway, my females like it. What's the big deal now? Of course, I can't drink it.
"Hehehe...♡" Lisbeth opened the bottle first, using magic to suspend the extra-concentrated horse semen she had collected that morning above the banquet hall to prevent it from being seen.
"Well then, I'll be right back~" Lisbeth then wrapped the tea leaves in an elegant gift box, holding her own teacup, and approached Celestia to speak.
"Greetings, Countess Celestia."
"Oh dear, Miss Lisbeth...?"
"Nothing special, just a gift for Countess Celestia~"
"A gift? For me?" As Lisbeth spoke with Celestia, the horse semen floating in the air wriggled and moved towards Celestia's head... taking advantage of a moment when Celestia's gaze was unfocused, it fell directly into the teacup she was holding.
If it were ordinary semen, it should have floated and swayed or appeared cloudy white... but the moment it fell into the cup, it spun rapidly, completely mixing with the dark champagne.
Ha... Lisbeth's manipulation is masterful. Celestia didn't even notice.
And her abilities are outstanding. Although her registered skills are things like fire magic, regardless, she has mastered and can freely use all kinds of magic she learned at magic school.
Thanks to this, I was able to make such absurd preparations with my horse semen… Well then, I should enjoy the preparations made by the female.
"This, I've prepared the tea you drank before."
"Oh, is it the tea from back then?"
"Yes. You seemed to really like this tea when you came last time."
Yes. Yes. You liked it so much that even you, who disliked me so much, bowed and apologized.
"That tea truly had a wonderful aroma and flavor. It even made my mind feel clearer… Was it specially prepared?"
"Yes♡ It was actually an experimental production, so the color is slightly different from the one you drank back then… However, the aroma and flavor should be similar♡"
"Oh, I see… Thank you so much, Miss Lisbeth. I'll enjoy it."
"Hehe. Okay♡ Please tell me your thoughts after you've tasted it♡" After handing over the tea, Lisbeth and Celestia continued chatting for a while… After a moment, the two raised their teacups as if toasting, bringing them to their lips simultaneously.
At that moment, a puzzled expression, "Huh?" appeared on Celestia's face...
"Oh dear? What's wrong, Countess?"
"...Ah...? N-nothing. Miss Lisbeth." Lisbeth's smile, as if urged on, stopped Celestia's confusion, and she raised her glass again.
Then Celestia...drank the wine containing Gaima's semen.
"...?" After taking a sip, perhaps sensing something amiss, Celestia stared at the glass for a moment, hesitated, and then took another sip.
Her expression quickly became subtle; it seemed the wine mixed with Gaima's semen tasted wonderful.
And so...Celestia downed the glass of horse semen wine in one gulp.
