The next morning.
Elves are a naturally beautiful race—this is common knowledge throughout the continent of Lemoria.
Sigrdrífa is about a few centimeters taller than me, her perfectly proportioned slender figure making her appear even more statuesque.
During our late-night conversation yesterday, Sigrdrífa mentioned that among the elven races, their moon elf clan is considered to have darker skin, but I can't see at all how Sigrdrífa's smooth, creamy skin has any relationship whatsoever with the word "dark."
The elf girl lying beside me undoubtedly possesses a perfect body.
Upon waking, I couldn't help but stare somewhat entranced, my gaze sweeping over her aesthetically pleasing chest and smooth abdomen, finally settling downward on...
"...?"
It feels like something's missing. It's a bit... too smooth.
"Anna... I can't eat anymore..."
So elves dream too.
"Hmph... it's not that I can't eat it, but you have to feed me with an 'ahh~'..."
In your dreams!
I controlled my strength and delivered a karate chop to Sigrdrífa's head. I'm not providing wake-up services for her.
"Time to get up."
Sigrdrífa rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up in bed, but I was still obsessively glancing at a certain area from time to time.
Speaking of which, although I feel embarrassed seeing a young girl's body... it seems to be just embarrassment, without any other reactions beyond that.
I'm getting used to it, I suppose. After all, I don't have the equipment for anything else, and such magic doesn't exist on the continent of Lemoria either.
"What are you looking at?"
"Sigr... no, Rifa."
"Mmm, although I asked for it myself, hearing you call me that is actually quite embarrassing..."
"Rifa must love being clean."
"Of course. Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Michel has too few natural lakes and hot springs. Bathing is troublesome every time."
"Do elves like to bathe in lakes?"
"We can't adapt to your small bathtubs. By the way, are there any lakes near Rothschild?"
"I don't recall any..." I inquired tactfully and cautiously, "Do you also… regularly groom your hair?"
"Hair... using the word 'hair' feels weird. Wouldn't 'head hair' be better?"
Sigrdrífa caressed a strand of her lustrous silver hair. Silver hair is a representative symbol of moon elves, something Sigrdrífa takes pride in.
"I take good care of it regularly. It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"It is very beautiful. What about, other places...?"
"Other places? What do you mean?"
Sigrdrífa stopped caressing her silver hair, tilting her head in confusion.
"Eyelashes? Or somewhere else?"
"No-nothing..."
I wanted to quickly end this topic out of guilt. It seems to be a physical characteristic of the elven race. I was making too big a deal of it.
But Sigrdrífa raised her eyebrows, looked down at herself, then stared back at me.
I hurriedly covered my chest, but Sigrdrífa seemed to already be making comparisons. After eliminating possibilities one by one, Sigrdrífa stared with interest at my pure white panties.
"Anna."
"Eh? I-I'm here..."
"Strip."
"?!"
"There must be something fishy here, otherwise Anna wouldn't ask that. Strip, strip quickly."
"Excuse me, I'm going to prepare breakfast!"
"Let me see!"
Sigrdrífa pounced directly at me, trying to grab my arms and force her way.
This absolutely cannot happen no matter what. I won't surrender without a fight, and we became entangled together.
"—Yahallo~"
The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Oh no! Concentrating on dealing with Sigrdrífa, I forgot about [Detection]...
Carol Cat smiled as she came to greet us, her energetic cheerful smile gradually freezing at a visibly perceptible rate after seeing the scene in the bedroom.
Sigrdrífa and I were entangled together like octopuses, and since we both hadn't had time to get dressed, the entire bedroom was suddenly filled with a citrusy atmosphere.
When I noticed how dire our situation was, I discovered that Sigrdrífa's wandering hands had somehow ended up on my chest, and very inappropriately...
"Kyaa~❤"
"I'm terribly sorry! I've disturbed you! Please continue!"
No! It's not what you're imagining! Our relationship is pure...
"So-so soft..."
"If you want to grope, go grope your own—"
Carol Cat shut the door and fled at light speed. I summoned strength from who knows where, pushed Sigrdrífa back in one motion, and roughly wrapped her graceful body with chains.
"Ow ow ow! My arm! It's going to break...!"
"Mmm... Anna-onee-sama? Rifa-onee-sama?"
Lily was awakened by the noise. She blinked her eyes, looking confusedly at Sigrdrífa and me.
"Is Anna-onee-sama playing games with Rifa-onee-sama?"
"Uh, yes, we were playing a... kun game..."
I was so flustered I bit my tongue.
Fortunately, after several days of training, my speed at putting on the maid outfit had improved greatly. In the blink of an eye, I had changed into my daily maid outfit.
Carol Cat probably didn't notice Lily just now—her attention was completely absorbed by Sigrdrífa and me. But I really didn't expect Carol Cat had the habit of entering without knocking... I'll need to be more careful if we're going to spend more time together.
"Lily, stay in the room for now. onee-sama will go prepare breakfast."
Right now I can't let Lily and Carol Cat meet. I quickly helped Lily with her morning routine, then left the bedroom alone.
Carol Cat was sitting on the soft cushioned sofa in the living room, crouched with her knees hugged to her chest, muttering something under her breath.
She didn't even notice me approaching.
"Big dummy brother Anna-san likes girls after all no wonder you stinky men's gifts didn't get any reaction from Anna-san at all I'm doomed weak pitiful and helpless me here like a sheep entering a tiger's den big brother come save your world's cutest little sister meow if you're any later Anna-san is going to eat me up completely I haven't even been in love before I never thought my first time would be with Anna-san although Anna-san is a beauty and I don't dislike Anna-san but love between girls can't get society's recognition and happiness nya..."
"..."
She seems to have developed a very profound misunderstanding about me.
