Please Do Not Abandon the Adopted Heroine

179 – Side Story_Mother and Daughter’s Cover…_!

There is something worth repenting for. However, I have no regrets.

To put it in a good way, it is an aberration, and in a bad way, it is, well, morally wrong in many ways.

Going back in time, it was the night of Emperor Anastasia’s coronation.

That night, before Sylph and Iris were even born.

The memories of that day, when the colorful night sky was bright, are still deep in my memory and cannot be erased.

***

“… … Oh, it’s ruined.”

I snatched a cup of water from the strangely curved tray and drank it down. The water with the small lemon slices in it had a mix of sweet and sour lemon scents, but the bitter taste that remained on my tongue stuck to my tongue and never came off.

It wasn’t the tray that was bent, but my vision soaked in alcohol. Every time I took a breath, the nauseating smell of alcohol filled my nose.

I can’t drink any more. I was confident that if I took just one more sip, I would pour out everything inside.

As I was wandering around looking for a place to rest, someone tapped my shoulder and handed me a glass.

“Now, here. Even your drunk brother, please have a drink.”

A cute voice that seems to embrace the stars. White silver hair that blends the calmness of the night sky and the splendor above the clouds exudes a delicate scent today. Shoulders and narrow cuffs that follow the white neckline. From Mrs. Dees,

The dignity of the family is conveyed.

Mrs. Dees asked me, running her straight fingers through her hair.

“I’m sorry, son-in-law. I apologize. Even if it was just a joke, my brother is so embarrassed. Would you like to drink some of this first?”

“… Mrs. Dees?”

I was given a glass.

“… thank you My head hurts a bit… . “I wasn’t drinking it.”

“Hehehe, I’m not good at drinking.”

“It was an uproar with calls coming from all over the place.”

“… Same goes for me. The nobles of the empire must have mistaken my identity, so they tried to talk to me. A little while ago, the pale young master made a public proposal to me~ How could a young human child with no blood on his head propose to a lady like this~ How cute was that~ Huhu! “Do you think it’s still worth it for me to look at it?”

She cups her cheeks with her hands and rejoices like a girl. If Washdishz hears this, she will shed tears of blood.

Although Mrs. Diss was the mother of already grown siblings, she could easily be considered a young woman in her prime.

It may be natural to some extent since they are blood relatives, but when you look at Wash Dish, whose complexion has recently aged significantly, you realize that looking young is not just a racial trait.

“Ever since Anastasia started following me around, calling me ‘master’ and all that, all sorts of famous people started to follow me.”

“’The emperor’s teacher… ‘Hehe, that’s a great title.”

“This is all because the previous emperor threw his throne and it flew away.”

“… “It would have been perfect to place the throne on Princess Anastasia, the hero of the Second Holy Sword.”

“So those kids… Without any measures in place, they pretended to go down the usual route of checking out the snowy fields or seeing the goddess, or repenting as some third-rate villain, and they made up all the damn shit and threw it away… ”

“… Hehe! Could it be that he ran away? “In particular, the former emperor should be thankful that his son-in-law and other moon phases saved his life.”

While I was gritting my teeth, Mrs. Diss’s dress caught my eye.

The dress, with its elegant lines, captivatingly revealed the curves of her body, perfectly expressing Mrs. Dice’s beautiful dignity.

There is no doubt that it suits them very well… I couldn’t look at her with her rarely calm mind.

It would be more accurate to say that there is nowhere to focus your eyes.

“… “Aren’t you cold?”

“Oh my goodness… This clothes. Does it look cold? “Other people also said the same thing.”

“… … A little like that… “It’s long.”

“Hehe! As a blood relative, I don’t have many clothes that would allow me to attend a banquet like this. “At least I wore something I bought out of curiosity when I was young, and it seems that the seasons were different compared to humans.”

“writing… Strong, ma’am. “I don’t think it’s a seasonal issue.”

Perhaps she was a little disappointed by my crude impression, Freyja looked down at the dress with a sullen expression and hesitated.

“… that… Is it that strange… ? Her husband and Undine said she was pretty and she liked it… depending on… ”

I quickly came to my senses and quickly stopped talking.

“No, ma’am. “You are very beautiful.”

“Oh my goodness… Even if you flatter me like that, nothing happens… ? I want to say that, but hehe… I’m genuinely happy that people praise me even if it’s just empty words. Thank you, son-in-law.”

Even though I said it in a hurry, it wasn’t empty. But I didn’t choose to do the stupid thing of digging up my own grave by bringing up a topic that was over.

“By the way, ma’am.”

“Please call me mother-in-law, son-in-law.”

“ruler… mother in law… Do you know where Undine is? “I haven’t seen you since a while ago.”

“Undine? ah… Come to think of it… ”

“… … … … ?”

“I was choosing a dress earlier… “Because Cecilia went crazy.”

“Runaway? “I’m sure it won’t be a micro bikini or something like that this time, right?”

“Micro… ? Oh my, did Undine wear something like that? That kid really does all sorts of things. There are a lot more dresses worn this time, but… what… If we look at the categories of swimsuits and dresses relatively, can we say that they are more dangerous than the last time? ?”

It’s a dress more dangerous than a micro bikini… I can’t even imagine.

No, what are the parents doing here so casually that their daughter is wearing something like that?!

“… … hmm? Madam, by the way, I saw Undine earlier at the coronation, and she was dressed fine then?”

“At first, he was wearing something that looked like a magic cloth to protect himself, but Cecilia noticed and started burning him as a signature every time she saw him.”

What kind of grudge do you have against Undine, Cecilia?

No, the reaction is funny, so I understand the feeling of wanting to harass…

“So now you’ve run away.”

“Manwol and Crescent Moon came to visit for a while. “He probably found Undine first.”

“Has the full moon come? Okay, ma’am. “I will look for it.”

“Let’s look for it together, son-in-law.”

***

The headache caused by alcohol was completely washed away with a glass of an unknown drink that Mrs. Deese gave me. I know it’s a hangover cure, but… I was surprised that the performance was better than I expected.

After coming to my senses, I set out to find Undine in earnest. The first thing to do was build a tracking spell, but strangely there was no response from within the imperial castle. Could it be that he went back to the academy dormitory?

Just as I was thinking that, I saw familiar figures on the other side.

Full moon and crescent moon.

When I encountered them, I immediately froze.

“Ah, Eugene~ It’s been a while since I saw you.”

“… ? “Why are you here?”

“Why are you looking at me like such a stupid person? “Didn’t Mrs. Diss tell you that Crescent Moon came with me?”

… Anyway, the feel is crazy good.

I sighed and spoke to the sly Manwol and quiet Crescent Moon.

“Has there ever been a case where great people from the Mage Tower of the Infamous Blood Clan even come to the coronation ceremony of the Imperial Emperor?”

“Ahaha! Do you see me as water? Even so, I have attended the coronations of several previous emperors! “The Hyeoncheon Margin has stabilized this time, and thanks to the increase in the proportion of magical power you contribute, I brought Crescent Moon with me.”

“No, I was just asking why you always watch the coronation ceremony of past emperors… ?”

“I have a lot of questions. But you can’t bring the upper or lower moon with you, right? crescent.”

“… … … “It’s noisy, Manwol.”

A small girl peeked out from behind Manwol’s back. A doll-like girl with a deadpan expression that, unlike her bright eyes, is captivating.

If the Sanghyeondal twins were like mechanical dolls, Crescentdal was a cute girl like a doll that children would hug and fall asleep.

Although he sometimes commits strange acts that are difficult to understand, he is still one of the few wise men who usually controls Manwol. Even though she was a little hesitant, she mustered up her courage and waved her hand to me, albeit stiffly.

“Hello, Shinwol. long time no see.”

“Uh, um, how are you?”

“I’m sorry for being so sudden, but I have just one question. “Is the dress that Undine is wearing, Shinwol, to your taste?”

“what?”

“… “It’s okay with us, but I was curious why you would put something like that on Undine, even though she is from your New Moon Tower and follows your orders very closely.”

The crescent moon asked, looking at me with eyes that were calm and transparent, but also a little disdainful. Manwol also giggled and clapped his hands next to him.

“Oh, I wanted to ask you too! Phew… ! Eugene, you’re surprisingly capable of something like that, aren’t you? that. Why… “Something that brings joy to others by causing trouble.”

“… … “Just call me a trash pervert, Manwol.”

“Fuhuhuhu! The crescent moon is sour~”

I wanted to ask what the hell that meant, but there was another reason that set off the alarm.

Man-wol, who always takes off her clothes in the magic tower, and Crescent Moon, who nags Man-wol more and more every day. If something like this came out of the mouths of no one else, it was clear that Undine would remain strong no matter what.

“Do you know where Undine is now?”

***

It was only after heading to the place that Manwol told me that I was able to find Undine belatedly.

The reason the tracking spell didn’t work was relatively simple.

There was a luxurious dressing room in the imperial castle, and rather than a simple dressing room, it was more like a resting place for noble ladies and ladies from all over the country. In places like this, there is a barrier that prohibits magic for various safety reasons.

But the biggest problem is that I, Eugene Seo Neferna, only realized this after entering the room and looking around for a while.

A pervert who sneaked into the secret garden.

This is the only sentence that can describe me at this moment.

“… If you get caught, you’ll be screwed. “I have to leave quickly.”

“yes? What? “What’s going on, son-in-law?”

“Ugh! Mrs. Dees!”

“… … “Oh my, why are you so surprised?”

“suddenly… “Where did you suddenly appear?”

“I just heard my son-in-law’s voice and teleported here… This is the dressing room. Our son-in-law should also do the same. “You came all the way to this place looking for Undine!”

“ha… No, ma’am. I came here only after hearing about Manwol, but there is a situation here… ”

“Let’s hide first.”

Mrs. Decis lightly grabbed my hand and pulled me, so I followed her without any resistance.

What’s going on? The moment I did that, I heard a commotion. I was caught off guard because there was no one in the large room, but just then the door opened and three or four girls came rushing in at once.

And among them was Undine.

“Miss Undine. “I think you can now take off your fireproof cloak.”

“yes that’s right. Miss Undine, if you put on a coat, you’ll burn the fox people’s clothes, so I understand why you’re wearing a fireproof cloak… “

“We also have similar thoughts as that fox tribe member. Why do you want to put on a coat?”

The girls, who were probably the children of some unknown nobles, surrounded Undine and chattered.

Undine answered with her expression in the mode of entertaining an academy honor student and her silver hair flowing gracefully.

… It wouldn’t be cool at all to do it while wearing a fireproof cape like a silver cutlassfish.

“Hehe, don’t say anything. It may be rude to say it, but the dress I am wearing is no different from underwear. “I can’t carelessly show my inner skin to men who don’t even know my name.”

“Well, I guess Miss Undine has some pretty classic ideas. How… Nowadays, that is individuality and a symbol of freedom. It’s a popular fashion in the islands! I also wanted to wear a dress like that, but my father was so against it… ”

“Of course, Miss Undine. Rather, that fox person has an excellent fashion sense. “Miss Undine has fair skin, an elegant aura, and a pretty face like a fairy. Come forward with confidence.”

“that’s right! Then you never know. Will I win the favor of the duke’s master? Ah, the moment when love blooms!”

“uh… what… ? my… Does the system mean that clothes like this are popular?! “It’s almost underwear?!”

At that exact moment, Undine was breaking out in a cold sweat and being overwhelmed by the boldness of the imperial girls.

Me and Mrs. Dees hurriedly hid in the closet.

Narrow and dark space.

Even though she was in an imminent situation where she could even hear the sound of her swallowing when she breathed, Mrs. Dice’s cuteness did not fade. She mumbled so quietly that Mrs. Deese could not hear outside of her.

(“Oh my~ My daughter is so… I thought she had no friends other than Cecilia, but it looks like she’s made a human friend.”)

(“……Madam. Now is the time to worry about that……”)

(“Oh, that’s right. Hmm, I found Undine, but this is a bit of a big deal, son-in-law. I rushed in, but…”)

(“Shall we try teleportation? I think it will be difficult because of the barrier.”)

(“It was possible to come in from outside by arbitrarily manipulating the barrier, but sneaking out from inside would be a bit difficult.”)

If the DC family’s space-time magic doesn’t provide an answer, I’ll have to give up early.

I was planning on waiting for them to leave, but instead, Undine and the girls started approaching the locker.

Although it is called a dressing room, it is also a place for relaxation. Even if you don’t have to take your clothes off, there’s no better place to relax. The truth is that I had no idea that it would come to a secret place to change clothes.

A girl sighed as if complaining.

“Whew! By the way, it’s not time to worry about Miss Undine’s dress. I never thought my dress would get caught on a nail and tear… ”

“But I’m glad I have a spare dress.”

“Yes, the imperial family lent me a nice dress. … Let’s see… Closet number 32… Number 32… Number 32… ah! “Here!”

Coincidentally, the closet the girls came to was right next to the closet where Mrs. Dees and I were hiding.

“Oh my goodness… ” Mrs. Diss sighed briefly.

The closet was slightly open because I was rushing in. If you close it now, you will definitely hear a sound.

The blonde girl suddenly started taking off her dress. It may have been to change her clothes. I understand that. The sound of fabric turning over. Meanwhile, something jingling and sparkling.

“Oh my, what is this?”

“The world is a scary place these days. It is a gift from my father. “It’s a magic tool that sounds a very loud alarm when a man lusting after me is around.”

Undine, who followed them sullenly wearing a fireproof cloak, blinked and reacted to the mention of a magic tool.

“Huh, for a human, it was pretty well made. It’s true. Madogura is a crime prevention bell that emits a scream when there is someone around who reacts s*xually. “It’s a fun toy.”

“… Humans? Oh my goodness. Was Miss Undine of a different race? Wow! Elves? Or are you a god? “We just thought they were humans!”

“Iknow, right! Miss Undine. “Would you please tell me about the lives of other races?”

I couldn’t stay calm despite the loud voices.

(“… This is a big deal, son-in-law. Should I close my eyes first? If I keep looking at it, I’ll get stimulated…”)

My eyes had been closed since a while ago.

No matter how much I am, I can’t just ignore a girl in her prime running around in her underwear.

But that magic tool. I couldn’t look at it closely, but judging by Undine’s nod, it must be an item with solid performance. Mrs. Dees also whispered in a worried tone.

(“Son-in-law…? If you get caught like this, it will be a big problem. Don’t forget that not only your son-in-law, but also the reputation of Undine and Emperor Anastasia, who is known as your son-in-law’s student, will be damaged.”)

Damn it.

Just as when you become conscious of breathing, you have to breathe manually from then on, once you recognize that something is ‘s*xual’, from then on, your brain starts to work in a different way from your rational mind.

The image of the girl in her underwear flashed through my mind. It’s a mistake.

ㅡㅡㅡBaaa!!!!!

“what? “Didn’t the magic tool make a sound just now?”

“Iknow, right. I think I heard a very short sound… “Have you heard from Miss Undine?”

Undine stared blankly at the magic tool, then shrugged her shoulders and answered.

“well? “I didn’t hear it.”

“If the learned Miss Undine says so.”

“Yes. There could be a perverted man hiding in this dressing room. As expected, Undine. He is a friend of His Majesty the Emperor… .”

“… … Ugh, that girl and I are not friends… … place… … ”

Perhaps remembering Anastasia, Undine blurted out her words with a sour expression.

Meanwhile, I gritted my teeth and let go of my s*xual excitement. This was possible at will… This is the first time I realized this too. The fangs were halfway into my tongue, but it was only natural to make such a sacrifice. Fortunately, the magic tool alarm sounded briefly and ended.

(“How are you feeling, son-in-law? Are you calmer now?”)

(“It’s already playing vividly in my memory, ma’am.”)

(“Oh my… what should I do? That magic tool seems to be activated when I lust for that girl.… I wonder if… I’m giving a damn about Undine…”)

(“It is a completely natural physiological phenomenon caused by stimulation. I never had any sinister imagination.”)

(“Hehe… I’m kidding. I know.”)

Mrs. Diss smiled briefly and this time tilted her head.

(“What should I do with this…”)

As Mrs. Dees moved her body, her skin came into contact in many ways in the narrow space. In particular, since she was wearing a thin dress, the textures that were difficult to describe in words were clearly conveyed. I tried not to be conscious of it, but my mind was already starting to become pickled with Mrs. Decis’s perfume and fleshy scent.

(“What the heck……”)

Come to your senses, Eugene, Neferna.

This is the mother of Ignis and Undine, and the wife of a man named Wash Disizu.

The mother of my childhood friend, who was very kind to me since I was little… .

To think about someone like that, even if it’s only for a moment, is strange…

You’re out of your mind.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Dise, who was looking at the magic tools outside the gap along with my reaction, was seriously thinking about something.

(“…… Ah. … Hehe… Should I just not react to the girl wearing the magic tool? Then… No, ethically… But this is an emergency… Umm~ I shouldn’t do this… What should I do… No. My son-in-law Because he is nice…”)

What is he muttering?

I was just about to apologize to the imaginary Wash Dish.

Mrs. Dees suddenly said something to me.

The reason I said ‘something’ is because I couldn’t understand what she said right away.

(“Son-in-law, lust after me.”)

(“…………………… yes?”)

(“Look at me and get an erection.”)

(“ma’am?”)

It’s not a question of word choice.

I wanted to say that, but she seemed to have already made up her mind and hugged me from behind.

(“We can’t get caught like this. It’s a matter of honor for my son-in-law, the emperor, and our Undine. If nothing else, as Undine’s mother, I don’t want something like that to happen. The moment my son-in-law and I are discovered, not only Undine, but now “The authority of the newly crowned emperor cannot be ruined because of a magic tool. So please lust after me.”

(“…what is that…”)

(“… I’m sorry. You don’t feel anything when you see this lady, right? But in order to prevent her from sounding the alarm now… this is the only way. A male who is excited by a woman has no choice but to turn his eyes to other stimuli.”)

I don’t feel anything… …

Whether you look at her from above or from below, Mrs. Dices looks like Undine’s older sister. Ripe Undinera. To be honest, I could say that Undine’s appearance was closest to my ideal type.

It would be a lie to say that you didn’t think anything of Mrs. Dice’s appearance.

(“…But I’ll finish it quickly. Just be patient.”)

(“……!”)

There was no time to react. Still, he couldn’t resist.

Outside the closet, Undine and other girls were busy chatting, forgetting that they were in their underwear. Fortunately, the warning has stopped. But you can’t tell when it will ring again.

When I came to, Mrs. Dees had unzipped my pants.
