Chapter 153 - 151: A Love Hotel in Another World
At the palace...
Klaus was receiving thanks from the six cabinet ministers.
"Your Excellency Klaus, you saw right through the fact that we were so stressed we had no room to spare, didn't you? Truly a keen eye!"
Klaus couldn't bring himself to tell the Finance Minister he was wrong.
"I've come to understand the importance of vacations deep in my bones. However, I saw it when passing through Water City Aqua—it was thriving quite remarkably. The hot spring inn and all, does Butler-dono also possess some unexpected talent?"
To the impressed Justice Minister, Klaus wanted to say, "There's no way Butler could do that."
But he pulled himself together and announced with a smile.
"If you all would just apply yourselves to your work from now on..."
"Of course!"
Watching the six of them so eager, Klaus muttered, "I want a vacation too..."
Meanwhile, Aqua was also troubled.
"The hot spring inn was truly wonderful! I can understand the rumor that Aqua-sama has become more beautiful since going there!"
"I-is that so?"
Even being told that, she felt nothing but bewilderment.
"After all, since going to the hot springs... with Windam-sama... well... you've become... friendly, haven't you?"
She wanted to say "That's wrong," but instead nodded vaguely with an "Eh? Well..."
"I knew it! My husband also seems to have become gentler since returning from the hot springs!"
To be honest, Aqua wanted to say, I don't know anything about that! Do whatever you want!
(Did the people who weren't loved by their husbands previously think that I was loved by Windam? That in itself is unpleasant... it's creepy. But thanks to my true husband, the atmosphere has become so harmonious!)
And then the six of them asked as if imploring her.
"Aqua-sama, please tell us! The secret to maintaining your youth!"
"How can we become beautiful? Please tell us!"
"What should I do to be loved by my husband forever?"
"Do you respond no matter what kind of play he engages in?"
"Do you also... do naughty things?"
"Please tell us, Aqua-sama!"
The women other than Juna, with an intensity that seemed like they might prostrate themselves, each pleaded, "Tell only me."
(Before, I was hated... now they're like worshippers...)
She watched them with an exasperated expression, but Juna alone was slightly different.
"What's the matter, Juna?"
"I learned the feeling of love for the first time at the hot springs, Aqua-sama."
To Juna, who had an enraptured expression, Aqua whispered, "Now that you mention it, it was the same for me!" Juna rejoiced, saying, "I'm so happy there's someone who understands!"
Looking at the six of them looking so happy, Aqua murmured in her heart, It's all thanks to you, Shivans! I want to see you soon.
I, meanwhile, was at the Klaus family estate.I had brought the new rocking chair.
Since the lady of the house, Marino, was there, I immediately had her sit in a spot with a good view of the garden.
"Ufufu. This is wonderful! It seems like it might make me sleepy."
In a kneeling position before the lady, I slowly rocked the chair. The hem of her dress shifted, revealing her white, seductive legs. As I stared intently, the hem gradually rolled up, and I could see the black lace panties deep within her thighs.
Did the lady want to rivet my heated gaze? She gently shifted her panties and began to drip a translucent liquid.
"I am a married woman♡ I must not be pleased by the heated gaze of a young man♡ Are you listening, Shivans-kun?"
As I touched her thighs softly, she trembled with a jolt, let out a sweet sigh, and panted "haa haa..." seductively.
"But... because Marino is so seductive..."
"Honestly♡ You naughty boy♡"
With a bewitching face, she went up to the second floor and whispered, "Come later."I asked a maid to prepare tea and visited the lady's room.
When I closed the door behind me with my hand, the refined Marino from just moments before transformed into a lewd woman like a prostitute.
(This gap is irresistible!)
She undressed me, made splashing sounds, and enlarged me with a deep throat technique she said she'd "never even done for her husband." When the lady, fully prepared, accepted me, she scattered her love juices with "splurt splurt" sounds and said, "You've made me into a woman who gets pleased when this place gets so hard!" and stretched out her tongue, violating the inside of my mouth with a slimy sensation.
"Are you listening, Shivans♡ With a lover's kiss♡ You made me melt♡ So I want more♡ More and more♡ Love me♡"
As the wet sounds intensified, she raised her voice with a lewd face, "Aahn♡." Her womb had already fallen, so I poured in plenty.
She trembled and twitched, and when she smiled with a face whose seductiveness was second to none, saying, "Today was♡ also incredibly good...♡," we ended up going into a second round.
Before evening, as I was preparing to cook, Klaus, Windam, and Aqua returned.
While eating, Aqua said, "The tense ladies' meeting became completely calm thanks to your suggestion, Shivans-kun! Thank you!" and squeezed my hand under the table.
The Klaus couple also knew that Aqua had been suffering because of Windam and Aristo, so they were relieved.
Windam asked a question with a curious look.
"Speaking of which, the Minister of State came to my place. I thought he disliked me, but he had become kind. He said, 'You should be thanking Shivans-kun for that! You have a good companion.' What did you say to the Minister of State, Shivans-kun?"
It seemed he was bewildered that not only the Minister of State, but all the cabinet ministers had started looking at him with kind eyes.
"I did not say anything significant. Perhaps everyone simply realized that when a national crisis is approaching, one must not disturb the peace with trifling emotions?"
"I see... well, thank you."
I had only wanted to help Aqua; Windam was an accidental byproduct. It wasn't something to be thanked for... but then, I told them about how I'd made a roller coaster-like thing in the desert and had couples ride it, and the entire male contingent had been wiped out, which made everyone laugh.
'Windam-sama slid headfirst down a waterfall-like place and is praised as a 'Hero' in Water City Aqua.'
"I believe that by telling this story, everyone may have slightly reevaluated Windam-sama."
Windam, who gets carried away easily when praised.
Then, the Klaus couple scolded him.
"Hmph! You are by nature a more cowardly person than most. You don't want that known, so you put on an arrogant attitude. If you don't change from now on, you'll bring about your own ruin!"
"That's so true. Even though everyone already knows you're a coward... you're afraid of being made fun of for it. What a foolish child."
Windam was immediately knocked down from his high horse.
"Everyone knows I'm a coward? Even my subordinates?"
"You're about the only one who doesn't."
Told this by Klaus, Windam was dejected. "All this time, not wanting to be known as a scaredy-cat, I desperately tried to hide it..."
Ignoring Windam, Klaus spoke to me.
"About this upcoming party..."
It seemed a diplomatic mission, centered around the 17th Princess, Princess Jen, would be coming from the Kingdom of Rhodesia. He asked who should be entrusted with the role of host, so I said, "I believe Prince Jefferson would be suitable. He seems to be smitten with her," which caused an uproar of laughter.
"That snot-nosed Jeff!? Is he in love?"
"Shall I sound him out?"
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Can I leave it to you?" and I nodded.
"There's one more thing I'm concerned about."
"What might that be?"
It was about Milfe.She was being sheltered at the academy as a princess of Kieff Country.
"Of course, if she's enjoying student life, there's no problem. But if she has other things she wants to do, I'll cooperate as much as I can!"
"Understood. I will confirm that with her as well."
After that, I took a bath. I treated the tired Klaus with 'Heal' and cast 'Sleep' on him so he could sleep soundly.
At night, I went to Aqua's room.
"You always help me, don't you!"
It seemed she was crying over how the contempt she'd received from people had changed into respect and admiration.
"Everyone thinks I'm being embraced by Windam! No one knows that I'm loved by my true husband! Hey! Tonight, let me embrace you!"
I felt like I was being violated by a beast-like Aqua.
"More!... More! I won't let you sleep!"
She continued to seek pleasure lewdly. Finally, around dawn, we were able to talk, and I was able to ask about Aqua's birth.
Marino is His Majesty's younger sister, but they have different mothers.Aqua is the child of Marino's younger brother, but again, her mother is different from His Majesty's and Marino's mother.
"My mother apparently died right after giving birth to me. I don't know my mother's memories or anything about her family home. I know almost nothing at all about my grandmother, so you should ask Father-in-law Klaus. But why the sudden interest?"
So, I told her I had remembered about Lord Otfrid.
"Really! Certainly, I have heard that my mother's family home is an old noble lineage. Is my mother's family home descended from Lord Otfrid?"
"I don't know. I don't know what might happen, but... if he had something to convey, I feel he would have already said it. He might have just appeared out of mere curiosity."
I used my arm as a pillow and dozed off a little.
The Next Morning
At breakfast, I spoke to Klaus about Lord Otfrid.
"I think you don't need to worry about it anymore. As you thought, if he had something to convey, he would have said it long ago, right?"
To Klaus, he was already a forgotten figure.
(If he has something to convey, we'll likely meet again.)
When I finished breakfast, I secretly kissed Aqua and headed to school.
When I asked the Principal if there was any meaning in me being at school, he laughed heartily and said, "There's a great deal of meaning. With you here, public morals aren't disturbed and there's no bullying. To be honest, if Aristo-kun goes on a rampage again, even the teachers can't suppress him!"
(I feel like I'm the one disturbing public morals the most... but well, bullying probably won't happen. Especially since the second and third years saw what happened last year and know.)
When I went to the Student Council Room, Aristo and Jeff were arguing about something.
"With Aristo-senpai, the students can't feel at ease!""I know that! But I want another chance!"
It seemed Aristo wanted a chance to solve the students' problems, so I made a suggestion.
"Then, how about Aristo-sama takes the initiative to look after the flower beds or maintain the grounds by himself?"
"Shivans! Are you telling me to do that alone?""If Aristo-sama will not do it, I shall do it alone. If you wish to clear your name, I believe you should not think it can be done with something easy?"
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I understand. First, you're telling me to work hard even where people aren't watching, right, Shivans? Certainly, there are many female students who don't want to interact with me..." and headed off to the flower beds first.
I served tea and cake to the remaining five and spoke about Klaus's matter.
"It seems Princess Jen, a princess of the Kingdom of Rhodesia, will be attending the upcoming party as part of a diplomatic mission. As for a student guide..."
Just as I started to say it, Jeff raised his hand energetically with a "Yes! Yes!"
"I don't think Jeff is capable of being a guide, though?""Are you saying Chris could do it?""At the very least, she could provide a more decent guide than you, who acts without thinking. Since you're smitten with the princess, you'd likely blab all the state secrets. Besides, it's impossible for someone who can't even accurately summarize the key points of a training camp report!"
I listened, thinking this was a perfect example of being at a loss for words.
"Certainly, Chris is right. I think so too."
When Aria agreed with Chris's opinion, Kate nodded too.I threw a lifeline to the dejected Jeff.
"Then, how about making Chris the chief envoy, and Jeff and Muller the deputy envoys?"
Jeff, who had been dejected, looked ready to wag his tail at me.However, as Chris said, they must not guide anyone through the inside of the palace, and leaking top-secret information is out of the question. But since they must ensure the guests enjoy the party, I said these three classmates were perfect. Chris, though reluctantly, said sternly, "If either of you does anything to hold us back, I won't forgive you!" Jeff and Muller nodded.
"I don't think there's any need to worry. This time, she's coming for diplomacy, not study abroad. You just need to purely ensure the princess enjoys herself. On the flip side, if you do something she dislikes, it becomes a diplomatic issue. Just hammer into your heads that you can't interact as casually as you did during her study abroad."
When I finished sternly, Chris said to Jeff, "Senpai is talking to you! Answer him!" Jeff replied with a sulky face, "Fine, I got it."
I left the Student Council Room and searched for Milfe, finding her.
"It's been a while. Are you enjoying the academy?""It's so-so, I guess?"
It seemed she had made some friends, but didn't quite feel like she fit in.
"Many of the male students are like adventurers, all fired up and intense...""Milfe is a neat and beautiful girl, so aren't you popular?"
I'd done it with her too, so I thought I wasn't any different from the male students...So, I asked her about her hopes for the future.
"I want to return to my country someday and investigate my parents! More than studying, I want to become an adventurer and train my body! You understand my feelings, don't you, Shivans?"
"I understand your feelings. But it won't be easy, you know?""I'd actually prefer it to be tough! I want to become strong quickly!"
So, I decided to introduce her to 'Silver Wolf.'Emilia asked without hesitation.
"Hey, is Milfe okay with being embraced by Shivans?""Eh? There's no problem at all?""Pass!""I can join an A-rank team? Is that okay?"
So, it was decided that her swordsmanship would be trained by Father Butler and Gale, archery taught by Ben, and magic taught by Mother Leen.
"If you're aiming to catch up with Emilia-chan and Reimi-chan, it's going to be incredibly tough training, you know?"
"On the contrary, that's exactly what I want! To be trained by people stronger than Shivans! It's like a dream!"
She said something that sounded masochistic, making everyone around her taken aback, but Butler said, "Shivans is always just running away, after all!" and Milfe laughed, saying, "What a waste!" making everyone around her laugh too.
"This will lighten our burden a little, Emilia!""A victim for our dream has finally come, Rei-nee!"
Reimi and Emilia were delighted.So, when I cast contraceptive magic on Milfe, she said, "If I won't get pregnant, I can have more sex and fight more," and when I went home, she turned into a beast and attacked me.
"There's no turn for us, Rei-nee...""Indeed. Hey! Switch with us."
And so, the dream 4P began.
I informed the Principal of my intention to withdraw from school and also explained the circumstances to Klaus.
Both of them said, "The best thing is to go along with what the person herself wants."
When I finished breakfast, I secretly kissed Aqua and headed to school.
When I went to the entertainment district to search for Jason and the red dot, I met an unusual person. It was Mosel, Harrier's subordinate. He was the man now entrusted with the underworld of the imperial capital.
"Shivans-sama. The number of people who can't find work is increasing here too."
Unable to solve the immigrant and refugee problem, the Administrative Bureau was being scolded by Klaus. What Mosel feared was the formation of slums again.
So, I decided to build a large luxury hotel and a love hotel on the vacant land.I also decided to use the casino set I received in Mistopolis.
"On the surface, it's a luxury hotel. On the first floor, there will be a restaurant and a bar, and you'll be able to call prostitutes or male prostitutes to the rooms. The second and third floors will be the luxury hotel, and the fourth and fifth floors will be designed so you can enter from a back entrance without meeting anyone. The basement will be a warehouse and a casino!"
I used earth magic to create a structure where you could go directly up to the fourth or fifth floor from the back entrance. To prevent any room from being used for nefarious purposes, I created surveillance passages with magic mirrors to prevent crimes before they happen.
(Because it would be troublesome if they were used for drug deals, kidnapping, and confinement, damaging our reputation.)
However, if any employee misused the facilities, such as by peeping, they would be sent straight to the slave trader.
"The fifth floor can be used by people with unusual tastes. That's why it's made spacious. There's also my room in the back."
The second floor had private rooms at 100,000 G per night. The third floor had large rooms that could accommodate two or more people at 100,000 G per person per night. The fourth floor had private rooms, but the cheapest room was a bit pricey at 5,000 G per hour. The fifth floor was 50,000 G per room per hour.
A clock had just been completed, so I installed it, creating a system where a bell would ring every hour. I placed an hourglass in each love hotel room.
I decided to hire people who could use 'Clean' to keep the rooms constantly clean, and people who could organize and tidy up. For the first-floor restaurant, people with cooking skills. For customer service, people capable of providing good service, and so on, we recruited.
"If we organize shifts in three rotations over 24 hours, we can hire a lot of people, right?""I see! And if there are no problems with public order, it would be even better!"
The walls were, of course, completely soundproof, but I made it so that only the magic mirrors allowed conversation and sounds to be heard, and also granted 'Cold Protection' and 'Insulation.' I installed fluorescent flowers in every room and hallway. Of course, each room was also equipped with a toilet and bath.
"The issue is, how do we advertise this luxury hotel?""It's simple, Mosel. Use the thugs. Specifically..."
Since the party would start soon and nobles and wealthy merchants would be gathering from various regions, I was making sure it would be ready in time.
And then, throughout the city...
"Alright? Don't you dare tell anyone! An amazing hotel is opening soon! The details are super amazing too! It has a toilet and, of course, a bath! And it's cool in the summer and warm in the winter! There's even a casino in the basement, it's insane! If you find a good woman, go check it out! She's guaranteed to love it! This info came straight from Mosel-san, so it's no mistake! I'm only telling you because it's you!"
When told not to tell, exciting stories make people want to brag about them even more.
And soon, all over town, it was full of people saying things like, "Just between us..." or "I'm only telling you, so don't tell anyone!"
In the meantime, I had Mosel thoroughly train the employees, and spared no expense on the interior and exterior. Under Klaus's direction, many construction workers flocked to the site. I had applied Anti-Magic to the building.
I had also obtained permission from His Majesty and Klaus to build the casino.
"Shall we go incognito sometime, Klaus?""How shall we disguise ourselves, Your Majesty?"
They were secretly planning to go in disguise once the party was over.The Cielo Trading Company heard this information and wanted to participate.
"You have sharp ears...""Of course! Leave the restaurant to us!"
Slave traders volunteered to provide the prostitutes and male prostitutes to be dispatched to the rooms.
"Do you have any disposed slaves this time as well?""Understood. I'll take them.""Thank you as always!"
I had been receiving them periodically, but this time it was all men.After treating them, I entrusted them to Regias and his men for the time being.
"Just train them enough to build up their bodies.""Got it, young master!"
I had them trained, thinking of it as rehabilitation.After that, they would be assigned to the jobs they wanted.
When I showed my face at the Muscular Man's Shop, Gala and the others, who were now top earners, were there.
"Those three will be handed over to the neighboring Kingdom of Rhodesia at the party.""Is that so? What a shame, just when they'd gotten used to it here. They've become quite good traps, haven't they? All three of them have started moaning with such nice voices!"
The Mama-san said in a thick voice, "When they leave, we'll at least clean them up nicely and send them off!"
I returned to the hotel and distributed uniforms. Both men and women had uniforms resembling hotel staff, but the women in the casino and bar had outfits resembling bunny girls.
"I... don't have a chest, you know?""A push-up bra can manage something!"
Some girls disliked the costumes.
"Then quit and go somewhere else?"
Some women coldly dismissed them, while others comforted them.
"The pay is good, and you don't have to be a prostitute!""That's true! And there's even a daycare and nursery school for children!"
It was well-received by single mothers.
I cleaned up the surrounding roads, built men's and women's dormitories and family apartments, and then, wanting to create shops nearby, I also built a shopping district.
The love hotel, entered from the back of the hotel, was perfect for secret meetings.
Around the back entrance, there were multiple passageways, allowing men and women to arrive separately and part without meeting anyone. Wealthy people and noble ladies must have wanted a place like this.
(They can fully savor the thrill and sense of immorality, and as long as they pay, they can use the room without being seen by anyone. The fifth floor will surely become an underground social circle!)
Mosel was also looking forward to it.None of this was written in the newspaper. Only about the front-facing luxury hotel.
Thus, it opened 10 days before the party began. And the underground information quickly spread not only among wealthy men but also among women.
