After Reincarnating as a Villain-faced B-class Adventurer in the Game, I Picked up the Protagonist a

Iska and the others haven’t taken a bath in a long time, so they’re pretty dirty. In order not to bother other guests, I pay more money at the public bath and ask them to prepare a private bath.

Putting my feelings aside, manners are still important in a situation like this. I have to clean myself up before going to the clothing store.

Me, Iska, Ratz, Ariamel, Fio, Nina, and Stella split up to take a bath.

“Ratz, sit down while I wash your head. Iska is next after Ratz.”

Kuku…I’ve always wanted to do it once, like father and son taking a bath together and washing each other.

Iska is embarrassed by Ratz, who sits down obediently. But for what it’s worth, Iska is a good boy who lets me wash him.

By the way, Ariamel and the others had a pretty long bath. They’re girls so they can’t help it.

After Ariamel and the others came out of the bath, Ariamel and Fio both apologized to me. There was no need to worry about it…they probably washed Nina and Stella as well.

When I went to a clothing store to ask the frightened clerk to help me find some clothes for the children, she asked the children to pick out some clothes with me.

Not to brag, but I have no fashion sense.  I don’t even know what a cute outfit is.

“Oto-san! I look like a pretend princess!”

“Oh yeah”

Nina comes to show me how happy she is in her frilly clothes. Yes, she is cute.

…The trouble is, no matter what she wears, I can only give the impression that it’s cute.

The clerk, who should have been frightened a moment ago, gives me a warm look.

Damn, I’m embarrassed.

Iska and the others were surprised when they arrived at their new house and went inside. Well, of course they were, because it was different from the hut they lived in until yesterday.

“Amazing…”

“This is our new home…”

“Papa, I’m going exploring. Nina, Ratz, let’s go.”

“Oto-san I’m going!”

“Be careful”

Stella and the others go up to the second floor. Why didn’t they just explore from the first floor..

“Private rooms are on the second floor, first come first served, you know?”

“I’m fine with the last one.”

“You don’t have to hold back, you know. We’re …… family.”

“Well, that’s not why I…”

Ariamel is not sharp.

She’s a little lonely…but she needs time to get back to being selfish.

In the end, the room allocation was decided with Fio, Iska, me, and Ariamel in a row. Nina, Stella, and Ratz are still small, so they will sleep with me or Ariamel in our room.

I made the beds bigger than usual, just in case something like this happened.

We still have rooms, and until the three of us want single rooms, this will have to do.

Also… in this world there are schools that you can attend from the age of 12. However, it is quite subtle to say whether it will be useful in the future.

It could be used for socializing between children of nobles, but …… that’s the kind of place it is.

I heard that the exams are separated for ordinary and aristocratic children, but once they enter the school, they are in the same classroom.

What’s worrying me.

If Ariamel or Fio were forced into a relationship with a noble kid, or if Iska was harassed,I would definitely go and kill that noble.

I won’t feel any pain at all, and I will destroy that house by any means necessary. But I don’t see the need to send them to school when there is a possibility of that…

Also, the nobles are horizontally connected, so if one family is hostile to the other, the number of enemies will increase steadily.

If that happens, we will have no choice but to defect to another country.

Even with that in mind, I’ll definitely kill him.

Come to think of it, I wonder if Iska and the others have dreams for the future? If they do, I would naturally support them…but I’m sure they will tell me about that at some point.

That night, for some reason, not only Nina, Stella, and Ratz, but also Iska, Fio, and Ariamel were gathered in my room.

They said that since they had been sleeping together all the time, it was hard for them to sleep alone. However, even with the big beds, it would be difficult for everyone to sleep together, so they decided to sleep on the floor of the room after all.

……This isn’t much different from when I was in the hut.
