Morning breaks, and everyone who stayed overnight on the Nautilus gathers in the dining room for breakfast.
In the midst of this, Dump Tea's figure is nowhere to be seen.
When she didn't see him as they were about to eat, Ritsuka headed to his room.
"Hey~ It's morning, aren't you going to eat?"
Ritsuka, who greatly misunderstood due to Dump Tea's Mash. Feeling pity along with longing, she knocked on Dump Tea's door and asked after him.
When the door opened, what came out was not Dump Tea.
"Huh...?"
"Ah, it was Ritsuka-san? Sorry, Senpai is still showering. If anyone is worried, please let them know for me."
Mash goes back in and the door closes automatically.
"... What did I just see."
Ritsuka, who has even bathed with Chaldea's Mash. She's seen the same appearance back then too...
But the appearance this Mash just showed had a hint of subtle sensuality.
"Well... if it's those two, it wouldn't be strange even if they were in that kind of relationship."
Although cognitive dissonance sets in because it's Mash, Ritsuka, who roughly knows the relationship between that Mash and Dump Tea, albeit in a misunderstood form, accepts it and heads to the dining room. But still...
"It's Mash but not Mash, Mash did that kind of thing at night but Mash didn't.... What is this."
Seeing Mash, Ritsuka felt various confusions. Ritsuka, who returned to the dining room like that.
Seeing Mash eating while talking with Saber Alter, she recalled the earlier appearance and felt a strange mood.
"But... is Dump Tea going to be okay?"
And upon actually thinking about it again... Ritsuka wondered if Dump Tea was even still alive.
============================
"Phew..."
"That was refreshing~"
"Yeah... it was."
To briefly explain what happened during the night... it was definitely a different feeling from the other girls.
The other girls prioritized their own sexual desires, treating me like a real doll, just squeezing me dry, so to speak.
But Mash was definitely different. Her sexual desire itself didn't fall short compared to the others at all... but she didn't initiate first, instead guiding me to take the lead.
Most of them would overpower me midway and press me down... Mash didn't do that. A temptress who whispered love and excited me to move on my own.
Should I call her that? Definitely... if with others it felt like being violated, with this one it felt like having a proper relationship.
"Mash, you're unexpectedly skilled."
"I sought advice from the couples at Chaldea. From Brynhildr-san and Kriemhild-san, for instance."
"I see..."
The lovey-dovey couple, huh. I can see Brynhildr, but Kriemhild must have been embarrassed.
"Fufu... How were the others?"
"Asking that... How should I put it. The feeling of becoming a real doll. I just felt like a device for releasing magical energy."
"Is that so... They're all too much. No matter how strong their desires are, to do such things to Senpai... They don't love Senpai, they just covet Senpai's body."
"Does it go that far...? No, is that right?"
"It's okay, Senpai. Because I like you, Senpai."
Mash hugs me from behind and whispers in my ear. Ugh, that tickles. Since we're both just wearing towels, we can still feel each other's skin.
"... Mash, you don't want to do that? Everyone seemed happy while violating me."
"Is that what Senpai wants me to do?"
"Honestly, when Dangerous Beast came in, I thought I'd be squeezed dry without fail... But after this, you're not going to say 'You didn't satisfy me at all, Senpai. I was just pretending to be satisfied,' are you?"
"Senpai."
"Yes."
"Please stop looking at strange things. Before, when Hime-san drew something like that... she had to borrow a guillotine from Marie-san."
"Ugh..."
Mash says with a very serious expression. But, Hitomi draws Mash like that too often...
"Is that the development Senpai wants? If you really want it, the only way is to swap bodies with someone and have another person enter Senpai's body..."
"Even complicated things have their limits. That's not my taste..."
"That's a relief. No matter if it's Senpai's body, I'd hate to do it with another person."
Mash smiles brightly and sighs in relief. So at least there's no NTR development.
NTR is scary. Suddenly, Gold Sun might appear and defeat everything, gods and spirits alike, with a demonic sword.
"... Um, Senpai."
"Yes...?"
Mash presses her body even more against my back, her chest pressing against my back, and Mash's heartbeat can be heard.
"If you want... should we, do more?"
"... Mash."
When I turn around, Mash looks at me with a loving expression. Definitely, I feel a difference.
We look at each other for a few seconds like that and then hold hands...
Whoosh~
"Um, Master? Baker says the food is getting cold and asks you to come quickly..."
""....""
"... At least knock before coming in."
"I came in because there was no sound... My mistake. You didn't do it until morning, did you?"
"No, not that... We woke up, showered, and were on our way out. We didn't do it until morning."
"I see... I've already seen it, but it's a different feeling again."
"What are you talking about, Nurse Nurse."
"If you ever want to, please come to the infirmary anytime."
"Hmm."
Crash... Kaboom!
What is it this time...
The wall collapses, and a giant face is visible.
"... Right. I'll be there soon. I need to get dressed, can you go ahead?"
"Okay~"
Such a good kid. Coming to wake me up... Where did my privacy go to begin with?
I get dressed, leave the room, and head to the dining room. The dining room is lively with everyone eating and talking. It's nice to see it so peaceful.
I have the meal Baker prepared...
"Ahem, Master. There's one thing I want to ask."
"What is it all of a sudden, Melusine."
"Do you like me more than Mash?"
It was such a sudden question that I was speechless. I wondered what it was about, but since she's a dragon, I'll let it slide.
My answer is...
"... Mash?"
"........"
What's with that despairing face...
Setting personality aside, is her body type not to my taste...? No, there was a time when it was within my acceptable range... but that was years ago.
"This can't be... Master, who whispered that he loved me, has been brainwashed by Mash...!"
"What is she saying?"
"Delusions of grandeur, it seems. It wasn't uncommon in Chaldea. It's beyond me... Protea. Please take care of the treatment."
"Kuwang~!"
BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"... What on earth."
Melusine collapses after being hit by Protea's Strength EX+Monstrous Strength EX punch. Why did she come... And she calls herself the strongest, what a pitiful sight for the strongest. Though, self-proclaimed strongest types are often like that.
A trait of isekai stories. The self-proclaimed strongest never truly ranks among the strongest.
Protea is really on a level where you wonder who could possibly handle her, huh? What did you create, BB...!
"Really... There are too many self-proclaimed lovers around Senpai, it's troublesome. Self-proclaimed older sisters, self-proclaimed mothers, etc. There are too many, it's troublesome. And there's even a housewife, isn't there."
"That's true..."
Summoning them is problematic. At least Tiamat isn't the type to force and obsess like Raikou, so that's a relief.
"Master, want to try the soup I made?"
"Ah, thank you..."
Why are the ingredients radishes again? Is it a miso soup with radish-shaped tofu? Hmm, why do I keep feeling King Hassan's presence? Just the shape, but it's so tasty I can understand radish eating streams?
"Ah, you got some on your mouth, Senpai."
"Thanks, Mash."
Mash smiles and wipes the corner of my mouth with a tissue. How should I put it... It's a comfortable feeling. Why does it feel so different from the other girls?
================================
"Mash has already properly captured Master, I see..."
"As expected of the Servant who's been with him the longest, I suppose. To empathize with even the criminal aspects we can't understand and respond perfectly..."
Koyanskaya sighs, and Shiki, seeing Mash, who has a completely different perspective from them, perfectly capture Dump Tea, is impressed.
"... Maybe I should just aim for the cute younger sister position."
Since there's such a strong opponent, Abigail considers just securing a position to be pampered.
"From now on, I plan to interfere with events."
"Huh? Events? How do you plan to do that?"
"Seeing the future is no big deal. My eyes are the ultimate future sight to begin with. Actually seeing the future is possible, you know? At least the near future, that is. I know what event will happen next, at least. So... I should interfere. To quickly finish this boring Rome or whatever."
"Your obsession is getting stronger. What if you become a burden to Master?"
"It's fine. If that happens, Master will scold me."
"You sound like a certain kouhai..."
Koyanskaya finds such Shiki ridiculous but... still understands in her own way and lets it go.
"So I need your power for the next event. I think our interests align well. For the past few years, aside from the Hundred Person Tower series events, you haven't been able to fight at all and were neglected, right?"
And Shiki, using communication that transcends dimensions, fundamentally the same as BB's, requested cooperation.
"You're Master's first... Bond 10 Servant, aren't you?"
"Wait a minute, was that person playing around by Rayshifting alone again? No matter how much of a free spirit who doesn't get attention, I told you not to Rayshift carelessly?"
Koyanskaya points out while looking at the cityscape visible beyond the communication, and Shiki says it's fine and restrains her.
"So, will you do it?"
[Really now... you don't care what happens to me, do ya~? Well then, I'll be waitin', so call me. It's been a while, I'll have a nice, lon~g date with milord.]
