“I…! I’m sorry for distu…!”

*SLURP*

“Stop right there! Don’t worry – she is paying me for doing that to her.”

The pale-gold-haired girl became flustered and her face turned completely red, she began to back off not angry but very embarrassed – but before she could escape after apologizing, Zoemi pulled off his mouth from Teofee’s ear and declared in a strict and serious voice.

“Y-YES! Eh…? Wait… what…?”

The first-year student who thought that she walked in on a pair of lovers straightened her back and called out after being shouted at… before realizing that there was something wrong with what she just heard…

“This lonely lady has paid me for helping her relieve the stress. Being the student’s supervisor is quite an important role and she has her own studies to take care of. People like that often fall asleep before they are able to recharge – hence my role. See how she is positively glowing?”

“…mmnh…”

Zoemi explained calmly, wrapping one arm around Teofee’s waist and propping her up, and caressing her chin to showcase her face basking in the afterglow.

“I… I see…?”

The pale-gold-haired girl put both hands to her face, backing off while covering but the black-haired – and hearted – attendant’s words made her stop and nod.

Were such services common? Was… was she the odd one for reacting like that…? Her family was in decline and their standard of living was even lower than some of the wealthy commoners so maybe it was something that she missed… If that’s the case then wasn’t she the odd one for acting so embarrassed? Was she outing herself as a country bumpkin?! If the word of it got out, wouldn’t her fiance be disillusioned about her?! He already was too good for her but acted as if it was the other way around… wouldn’t something like that cause them to grow apart even further? Their engagement might have been arranged, but she took a liking to him since they began exchanging letters…!

…such thoughts invaded the head of the pale-god-haired girl…

“Oh… o-of course, that’s a completely normal thing to do, I know that…!”

The flustered girl really tried her hardest to act as if seeing people make out in the middle of a hallway was completely natural.

“Thank you for the hard work. Lady Tallaran, see you at breakfast.”

The pale-gold-haired girl took all of her courage and nodded at the black-haired attendant and then made eye contact with the hazy-eyed student supervisor before she hurriedly walked past them and ran away as fast as she could in order to get to her room and scream into the pillow from the raging embarrassment that she felt.𝒩𝗈𝗏𝑙xt.𝓒𝑶𝔪

“…that was one naive girl, don’t you think…?”

Zoemi looked after the escaping first-year student and raised his brows shocked at her reaction, before returning to the Teofee gasping for air.

“You said that you have duties and you will be scolded if you don’t see to them, but you are in no state to do them….”

Zoemi smiled at Teofee and playfully leaned down as if he intended to kiss her – the brown-haired girl seemed to think that it would happen and she leaned forward to meet his mouth but…

“Nuh-uh~ That service costs extra~”

The black-haired boy hummed and blocked the girl’s lips with two fingers.

“I will contact the headmaster that you are unavailable today… I don’t know where your room is and have my own duties so how about I let you rest in my room for a bit? After you will feel better you will return on your own~”

“…eh…?”

Zoemi decided and picked up Teofee, putting her over his shoulder as if she was a sack of potatoes.

“W-whait… but…”

*smack*

“Ng-yaaah?!”

The brown-haired girl tried to talk it out but got silenced by a slap on her derriere that sent jolts through her entire body.

“That girl seemed innocent enough to be too ashamed to spread any rumors even after she saw us, but let me tell you this – if you want to keep your reputation intact, you should comply with my proposition.”

“…nnn…?”

Zoemi sighed and explained while returning to his room.

*rustle*

“Gyaaah?!”

“See you~”

When he approached his bed, he unceremoniously dropped the girl onto the mattress and left with a short goodbye.

“…h-hey…! Wait a…. nnnh…”

Teofee tried to get up and stop him, but she couldn’t put any strength in her legs so she merely flopped on the bed and yelped.

“Hmph… why would my reputation be damaged just by others seeing him carry me to my…”

Giving up on the chase and accepting her fate Teofee grumbled and rolled on the bed.

She looked down at her clothes wondering whether the answer to that question was her disheveled clothes and… she found the answer.

She was wearing a male school uniform out of commodity.

That in and of itself would not affect anything – male clothing was always Teofee’s go-to choice of the wardrobe as she simply hated the draft on her legs and the tightness of stockings – the problem was that excessive moisture would always show clearly on the fabric the Aspakeony Academy’s uniform was made of.

…and a certain area of Teofee’s pants was damp, it was so bad that the discoloration was reaching down her thighs…

“…”

The brown-haired girl froze in place staring at her lower half in disbelief.

Slowly, her face was getting redder until it was almost glowing like a red lightbulb…

“!!!” *rustle*

Teofee’s reaction was delayed, but she ended up throwing herself wildly on the bed until she bounded herself up in the sheets like a protective cocoon.

Zoemi, on the other hand, reached the kitchen and began the preparation. As he returned to the counter with the ingredients he was intending to use for his master’s meal he spotted two out of three attendants that he befriended the other day.

The tall Lithfreid and the youngest Rothillis.

“Morning~!”

So the black-haired boy invited himself to a spot next to them~

“Ey-hey! Zoemi! A bit later than usual I see.”

“G-good morning!”

Both the brown-haired man and the black-haired boy responded initially surprised.
