Chapter 06: When it rains in the desert, it quickly turns into floods

 

In the middle of the night, a carriage entered a gorgeous mansion. Siesta, the head maid of the Medici family, got off the carriage in a great hurry and searched for the most beautiful women in the kingdom of Laodecia, although it was almost time for her to sleep.

“Lady Agnes! Lady Alice! Lady Carol!”

Meanwhile, these immensely beautiful ladies were having tea in Agnes’s room.

“It is taking so long to find him…” said little sister Carol, who was dressed in a luxurious nightgown embroidered with pretty strawberry patterns. She raked up her shoulder-length hair with her thin, white fingers and turned her red eyes, which were filled with frustration, toward them.

Then Alice, who had gently grasped her sister’s hand, turned her fair face and pretty blue eyes to her and gently embraced her.

“Big Sister Alice…”

“Siesta is trying her best. So one day…”

The mother looked apologetic to the scene when the younger sister embraced the older sister.

The three of them had a terrible experience in this room. But it was also the same room where that man had saved them. A place which held both good and bad memories. Ever since that day, they had been thinking about him.

And this was the only place they could feel connected to him.

So the mother, Agnes, big sister, Alice, and little sister, Carol, always gathered in this room at night, having tea and thinking about that person.

His manly strength and his kind gaze which was unlike those men who lust after bodies, not to mention his pure smile had melted their once frozen hearts.

Every time they imagined his figure, all that came to their mind was,

—I hope to see him again.

After he saved them, he disappeared without a trace. He never asked for anything in return, he was never conceited, he was never arrogant.

Up until now, the men have been trying to get close to these Medici beauties somehow, harassing them like flies with all kinds of tricks. Of course, they knew all those men’s ulterior motives, so they had been very coldly dismissive and had turned them down at every turn.

Being well aware of such men’s filthy character, that gentleman’s very existence had made these three beautiful ladies’ hearts flutter with impatience.

That’s when it happened.

Someone suddenly opened the door forcefully and entered.

It was Siesta, the chief maid.

She opened her mouth, gasping for breath.

“Haah… haah… I’m so sorry for surprising you!”

The three of them were surprised. Siesta was a very responsible lady. There was no way she would do something like this that an amateur would do.

There must be a reason.

The three of them gave it a thought, and they all came to a certain conclusion full of hope…

The reason why the head maid suddenly came here,

“I’ve met the gentleman!”

“!!!” x3

The three of them were all stunned as if they were being struck by lightning. But the very next moment the corners of their mouths turned up.

“Siesta… tell me about that person.”

Siesta swallowed hard at Agnes’ question. Alice, seeing this scene, took an extra cup of tea for her, poured it and handed it to her. After thanking her and drinking it, Siesta began to speak.

“First of all, that gentleman’s name is Haruto Takatori-sama.”

The three of them tilted their heads at the mention of his name, which they had never heard before.

“He came from a faraway country, and his family name is Takatori and his first name is Haruto. He told me that I can call him “Haruto” if I want.”

“Haruto-sama… such a nice name… what do you think, Sister Alice?”

“…”

Alice’s mood lifted so much that she couldn’t hear her sister’s words, and she focused all her attention on the information about him that Siesta had said.

“He was a soldier on a special mission.”

“A soldier?”

“Yes, Lady.”

“… I’ve been wondering about his well-trained body, guess that was the case.”

This time Agnes was agitated. Her huge, explosive body shook in the response of her nether region. And a bewitching smile arched up on her face.

“He defeated all the enemies who invaded this mansion by himself, he must be one of the best soldiers in the Kingdom of Laodecia… No, he must be one of the best soldiers in the world!”

“I agree with you, Lady Agnes. Because…”

“Because?”

“Haruto-sama is a Class 5 Summoner!”

“A Class 5 Summoner!!!” x3

They were amazed in unison.

A Summoner was a title that was so hard to get that only a very few existed. Moreover, he was of the highest level, belonging to level 5

“Huh!”

Then suddenly Alice moved the chair she was sitting in.

She was shaking as her whole body felt like it was on fire.

Of course, these three beauties were also class 5 wizards. Class 5 was the highest level, which meant that only royalty and dukes could become class 5 wizards. Even if they didn’t have a title for some reason, just being class 5 gave them tremendous influence.

In other words, Haruto and they were on equal footing, and now there remained no other factor that could interfere if they were to get close.

Before her wish to see him once was enough for her.

But now Alice’s womanly instincts were slowly and gradually beginning to kick in. She was the eldest daughter of the Medici family. She was the heir to the duke’s title and was obligated to be sure to leave offspring.

But for her now, such an obligation was just an excuse, and the two keywords, “offspring” and “Haruto”, intertwined and gently traced her icy, calm and ruthless heart.

Alice secretly prayed in her heart for him to stay single.

“More importantly, Haruto-sama wasn’t wearing a wedding ring.”

“Oh, really?”

“Thank god!”

Alice breathed a sigh of relief. However, there were some married couples who didn’t wear wedding rings. Alice’s heart started to grow impatient, perhaps because she was of that age.

“Currently, due to some circumstances, he’s taking on quests as an adventurer while also setting up a food stall to sell his food.”

“Huh? Why?”

Agnes asked impatiently.

“I don’t know about that. For some reason, he has a thoughtful expression on his face when he talks about it… This is all the information I have. I was afraid that if I were to pry any further Haruto-sama would be annoyed…”

“Siesta, you have done exceptionally well. I’ll pay you handsomely.”

“No… I am happy to be of service to Lady Agnes, Miss Alice, and Miss Carol. I have served the Medici family all my life. Your happiness is one of the few things that make my life worth living.”

“Siesta… I’m glad you’re my head maid. I’m glad you’re my childhood friend… but let me thank you anyhow.”

“Lady Agnes…”

While Agnes and Siesta were rejoicing, the little sister Carol suddenly said with a sad expression.

“I want to see Haruto-sama. I can’t suppress these feelings any longer! Siesta! Please tell me where he sells his stuff!”

“Uh, yes? Y-yes.”
