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

Now that I understand the cause, there’s no need to hold back, so my right arm, which had been freed for the first time in a while, embraced her.

……Ah!? So that’s what Alice wanted to talk about!?

Crap… I misunderstood and did something embarrassing…!

I frantically thought of ways to recover from this blunder, but first, I need to calm Alice down.

I don’t want her to serve me while feeling guilty.

“It was the necessary price to save Alice. That’s all there is to it. ……Are you saying that the choice your master made was wrong?”

She opened her mouth to retort, but then buried her face in my chest, as if to hide her lost emotions.

“……Ouga-sama is a cunning person. If you say that, I can’t say anything anymore.”

“I understand that Alice is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. That’s why sleeping next to me is your punishment. ……How does that sound?”

“That… doesn’t feel like a punishment, Ouga-sama.”

Alice hugged me back tightly.

If I hadn’t made that choice back then, I wouldn’t have this warmth in my arms.

No matter how many times she comes to apologize, I won’t blame her.

I decided to save her myself, so complaining about the outcome would be too third-rate.

“In fact, I’m excited. Since the prosthetic arm is a magical tool, I can try out new gimmicks that I couldn’t before.”

Modification is a dream that every man has at least once. Of course, I’ve been through that phase too.

That’s why I didn’t have much aversion to cutting off my right arm and attaching a prosthetic.

This will undoubtedly be an opportunity to become even stronger.

I want to install either a rocket punch or a flamethrower. A hidden blade might be nice too. In my case, I’m stronger fighting bare-handed, though.

“I believe Ouga-sama can definitely do it.”

“I might ask for your opinion too, Alice. Will you lend me your strength?”

“Of course. All the secrets of my techniques, I will dedicate them to Ouga-sama.”

From the looks of it, the dark feelings in her heart seem to have been dispelled.

And I managed to cover up my misunderstanding too… .

Not only that, but I also successfully got to sleep next to her, killing two birds with one stone!

As expected, my genius brain shines even in situations like this.

But sleeping next to Alice, who said she wants to be my bride… .

This is practically like being married already, isn’t it?

“Now, let’s go to sleep.”

“Yes… like this.”

As our usual bedtime approaches, my consciousness is also transitioning to sleep.

“Good night, Ouga-sama.”

After letting out a yawn, I used Alice as a hugging pillow and was lured into a dream.
