I Became the Son of a Corrupt Lord, so I’ll Enjoy an Easy Life in Another World ~but Please Stop Revering Me as a “Saint”!~

Stage 4-8. Hug Pillow Alice

Since then, time has passed in a whirlwind.

Especially since the independent mechanical city, Encarton, lies beyond the royal capital from the Vellet territory, we must use an airship to get there.

Airships are one of the few means of transportation that travel through the skies in this era, and in the Londism Kingdom, they only land in the royal capital and the territories of the four great ducal houses.

Even the number of flights is limited, so tickets are always in high demand.

This time, my father happened to… immediately secure five tickets to Encarton, and coincidentally… it seems we are the only passengers on that flight.

Departure is scheduled for early tomorrow morning..

Thus, we were in a mad rush to prepare for the trip, and by now, they should have already set off to the world of dreams in their respective rooms, looking forward to tomorrow.

As for me, I’m lying in bed, staring at the ceiling.

By the way, Kabunika-san flew back home using magic as usual.

The way she controlled her magical power was so unnervingly precise.

……Well, it’s about time I address what I’ve been overlooking.

“Alice? I thought I told you to leave?”

After helping with the packing, I told her to return to her own room, but she was still standing by the bed.

……But I’m not a dense man.

I can pretty much guess what she wants to do, what she’s trying to do.

In that case, I should take the initiative.

“Ouga-sama… I’m sorry――”

“――Would you stay and sleep with me?”

“……Huh?”

I remember clearly.

Mashiro and the others said they were looking forward to tonight. Alice had carefully made the bed.

Unfortunately, since we have to start early tomorrow morning, the three of them aren’t here, and it’s not the guest room, but Alice must have stayed in my room due to her overly strong sense of loyalty to me.

It’s unusual for her to have been wanting to say something all this time, so she must have been waiting for the right moment to bring it up.

“O-Ouga-sama… well, I…”

“Alice”

“……U-understood”

When I called her name, she quietly climbed onto the bed and came to lie next to me.

I pulled her arm and had her lie down beside me, then covered her with a blanket from above.

It’s a feat I can only manage because I can be assertive with Alice.

If it were Mashiro and the others, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

As usual, the three of them would have taken the lead, and I would have ended up making some virgin move. In fact, including my previous life, I am a virgin, so there’s no helping it.

I reached out to touch her beautiful golden hair.

Then, Alice began to spill her confessions with a very pained expression.

“Ouga-sama… I am not in a position to be treated so kindly. I made Ouga-sama make such a decision…”
