Chapter 6 - 06 Learning from Nature
"Fufufu. He's done it! That brat! I sent him a prank, a vulgar outfit, but he brilliantly went above and beyond with his imitation! While I find him impertinent, I even feel a sense of reliability. Don't you think so, Windam?"
"Gehehe, ehehe."
With a slovenly expression as if about to drool, Windam's upper lip was stretched to its limit, and his wife Aqua punched him.
"The garments Father-in-law sent seem to have quite a different taste, don't they? I perceive a coexistence of refined elegance and feminine allure. Was this also the work of that 11-year-old boy from earlier?"
"You'll understand in time, Aqua. Well, judge for yourself with your own eyes!"
Klaus announced happily and entered the mansion.The women's attire had open chests, revealing the pushed-up cleavage. The arms and thighs were see-through, but the crucial areas were not visible. With deep slits, their legs looked long, presenting a refined, beautiful body.
"How long are you going to keep your upper lip stretched! You idiot son! Aren't you ashamed, with Aristo watching!"
Scolded by his wife Marino, Windam also entered.After placing their luggage in their respective rooms, the five members of the Grand Duke family gathered again in the lobby.
"Your Excellency Klaus. Thank you for coming on such short notice!"
"Is that sarcasm, Butler? There are countless lords who want me to visit, you know?"
The two exchanged smiles and a handshake as they spoke.Then, they introduced their families to each other.
"Butler, you know my son and his wife, right? This is my grandson, Aristo. Aristo, greet 'Death God' and Shivans-kun."
"I have known of you by reputation for some time. I am Aristo."
He said this while looking at me, so does he want me to greet him too? With no other choice, I greeted him with a beaming smile.
"Minister of Military Affairs-dono. Lady Wife, and Aristo-sama. It is an honor to meet you for the first time. I am profoundly grateful that you have taken the trouble to come all the way from the Imperial Capital to this remote borderland today."
When I bowed politely, Windam and Aqua were surprised. Aristo came before me, smiling.
"It was you, wasn't it! The one who made that carriage? It was incredibly comfortable! I enjoyed the scenery too. And that stone! Why does it emit heat when you pour water on it? How does that mechanism work? How do you study? If you don't mind, won't you teach me too! You can use magic too, right?"
His eyes sparkling, he pressed in on me so much that those around us were taken aback.Close, you're too close, Aristo. His intensity is casually amazing.
"Indeed, I was involved in the design and such. I shall show and explain the other things to you in due time. That's right! Tomorrow, won't you tour this territory with me? You likely have no contact with the common people, do you?"
At that, his parents raised voices of concern for his safety.
"If Shivans guards him, there will be no problem. Right, if Emilia also joins the guard, it will be perfect, won't it? If you doubt it, allow me to show you some training now! Come, Shivans!"
"Butler. Don't you just want to fight your son?"
Klaus saw through me, but I shook my head.
And so, a battle of wooden swords began: Father versus me, and Gale versus Emilia.
"As expected of Butler. But that son of his endures Butler's mighty sword well. The girl over here is amazing too. Her movements are not inferior to the agile Gale!"
Both Windam and Aristo watched with excitement.Then, Ben attacked me with his bow.
"Two against one is cowardly! I am still a tender young boy, you know? Ben! You were aiming for my eyes, weren't you? Remember this later!"
At that, Gale sneered.
"If the young master is a tender boy, then all boys and girls are angels!"
Ben also jumped on the bandwagon.
"That's right! Young master, you've procured weird stuff again! It's your fault our finances aren't in the black!"
"Weird is rude! I'm swallowing my tears for a bright future!"
"You always have a comeback! Don't hold back, Ben! Aim for his head and neck too!"
Klaus and his wife watched our exchange, laughing uproariously.
"That's enough, Butler. So you had not just a son, but a daughter too?"
"This girl is different, Your Excellency. She is Shivans's childhood friend."
"She's cute. She's tall, but how old is she now?"
Asked by Marino, she timidly answered in a small voice, "I am twelve now. But I will be thirteen soon."
Then, Aristo's eyes sparkled again as he grasped my hand.
"That's amazing! Be my friend!"
"If you are fine with me."
As we became friendly, Aristo showed interest in swordsmanship. Apparently, he seemed to be struggling to improve in both magic and swordsmanship. He was deeply troubled by this, and his mother Aqua told him he didn't need to worry about it, but...
"But..."
He said this while looking at me, so I spoke.
"Aristo-sama. Are you aiming to become a Sword Saint? Or a Great Sage, the pinnacle of magicians?"
He shook his head vigorously and said, "No way!"
"Neither am I. I don't train because I want to become something like that. Even if I did, the thought of a life where people seeking to make a name for themselves target your life every day is horrifying, isn't it?"
I laughed, "Hahaha," and he said, "I'd hate that."
"Aristo-sama, even if you don't become strong, as a Grand Duke family, you can simply hire such people. Aren't you struggling to improve because you haven't seen for whom, and for what purpose, you study and become strong?"
Upon hearing this, his expression showed sudden realization.
"My family has no leeway to hire strong people. Until three years ago, I was raised on scrap vegetable soup, you know? Pitiful, right?"
When I said that, he chuckled.
"Fortunately, my parents were endowed with military strength. Both my parents and I had no choice but to become strong to protect our people and prevent them from starving to death. This is the great difference between Aristo-sama and myself. So, what do you want to become? What should you do? Things like being strong or weak compared to others seem trivial to me, but what do you think?"
Aristo seemed somewhat moved.
"That's it! That's what I wanted to tell Aristo! Now! Let's go back and drink! I heard there's something delicious!"
When Aqua, who had shown no interest while we were fighting, said that, the Klaus family shook their heads with expressions that said "Good grief."
Then Aristo asked me.
"Shivans. Calling me Aristo-sama is a bit much. We're the same age, right? And teach me one thing. What should I do to become tall like you?"
"My use of honorifics is something like a habit. Please don't mind it. Let's see. I think a balanced diet without likes and dislikes, and exercise, is the best. I wasn't in an environment where I could be picky. So, I started cooking to make food taste even a little better!"
He said, "I see," and accepted it.I can't exactly say I had the skill from the start.
"Hey, Shivans-kun? That meat you served last time! My wife says she wants to eat it again. Won't you serve it?"
"Oh my! You're the one who wants to eat it! Don't blame me!"
Klaus and his wife started arguing, so I said, "Understood," and bowed politely, which pleased both of them.
Aqua was already drunk before dinner even began.
"Are you alright, Aqua-sama?"
"It's fine! Look at Aristo. He has a wonderfully happy expression, doesn't he? It's thanks to Shivans-kun! Now, let's have a toast! Cheers!"
Windam was forced to accompany her and was made to drink. Beside him, Aristo was smiling.
After That, when I sprinkled strong liquor over the steak plate and set it alight, Windam, his wife, and Aristo were surprised. Seeing that, Klaus and his wife had expressions of triumph.
"We guarantee the taste! Try it!"
When his wife said that, Aristo asked, "This is the first time I've had such delicious meat, Grandmother! I was surprised by the appearance, but is there a meaning to it?"
"Of course there is. By enveloping it in flame, we prevent the meat's flavor from escaping. Also, by leaving a slight liquor aroma, I believe you can enjoy the fragrance as well."
When I explained, he accepted everything with "I see!"
(Could Aristo be the type who is easily susceptible to hypnosis?)
In a good way, he might be pure.His wife and Aqua were guzzling sparkling sake, and the husbands were also nicely drunk.
"Hey! Shivans-kun! Give me the Shampoo and Conditioner treatment! You all should get it too! After that, Shivans-kun's treatment is the best! Wahahaha!"
When the servants and I carried the Klaus couple and the Windam couple to the bath, Aristo was extremely apologetic, saying, "I'm terribly sorry."
Especially Aqua, who seemed like a different person when she drank.
(Great nobles have their own stress, I guess. Coming into a family like this as a bride must come with various things.)
The men quickly got out of the bath, received treatment from me, and Klaus said, "Hey! We're heading back to the room first!" to which his wife replied, "Okaaay."
Since the Klaus couple shared a room, he probably called out to her. I had prepared separate rooms for the Windam couple and Aristo, making three rooms in total. After treating Klaus and Windam, Aristo had No Problem.
"Good night, Shivans."
"Good night, Aristo-sama."
And now, it was time to treat the two women, but Aqua seemed to be rampaging and noisy.
"Shivans-kun. I'm sorry, but isolate Aqua."
"Understood."
I had prepared a soundproof room, so when I took her there, she became quiet. While treating his wife, she told me, "Aqua is my niece. Because she's of the Imperial Family bloodline, she's a bit selfish."
After finishing the treatment, next was Aqua.Feeling somewhat heavy-hearted, I entered the room, and she was crying.
"Everyone is so cold!"
Wondering if she was a weeping drunk, I sat her on the sofa and comforted her.Her bathrobe was already open, and she was practically naked, but maybe she didn't care because she was drunk.
"Windam is so cruel! After I gave birth to Aristo, it seems my constitution made it difficult to have children. Then, he made a bunch of concubines and mistresses. I became an old woman like this, so I was thrown away. I'm ugly, right?"
"That's not true at all. You are very beautiful."
Let's treat her during this conversation! Aqua was somewhat anemic and, moreover, had hemorrhoids. Even looking at it with Appraisal, there was no problem with her uterus, so the inability is just in her mind.
"It's alright. Have confidence! Aqua-sama is very beautiful!"
"Reawwy? I'm sho happy. Let's kiss!"
The heavily drunk Aqua pushed me down and gave me a deep kiss, and it was as if a switch had been flipped.
"Darling! You'll hold Aqua? I have to undress! I've been waiting for so, so long! Because, I haven't been held since I got pregnant with Aristo, so I lost my confidence."
Apparently, she was mistaking me for Windam.Is it because the room is dimly lit? Or is her consciousness hazy from being drunk?
"I... studied various things for times like this!"
She performed fellatio with slurping sounds. She's quite skilled!
"Aqua. Spread your crotch and show me your lewd pussy."
When we got into a 69 position, she spread them obediently. While stimulating her clit, I probed her G-spot and performed manual stimulation, and she said, "Aguh! It feelsh good."
"No! Darling! If you do that, I can't lick. It feels incredibly good."
"Where feels good, Aqua?"
"My down there..."
"If you don't say it properly, I won't put my cock in, you know?"
She shook her head in reluctance and said, "I'll say it! You're mean," and then said, "Please put your cock in my lewd pussy."
"Hold your own legs and beg!"
"Please, darling! I want your cock in my naughty pussy!"
She held both legs and spread them wide.She was so tight you wouldn't believe she gave birth to Aristo.
(Crap, with this body, I'm going to cum soon. Well, recovery will be quick too. Even if I cum inside, if I keep thrusting, it should get big again!)
I stimulated her portio and made her cum many times. Her breasts were licked, she lifted her hips, screamed "I'm cumming cumming cumming!" and sought a kiss.
When I came inside, she dug her nails in enough to leave marks on my back, clung tightly, and climaxed. Then, when I made her perform cleaning fellatio, she said, "Beg me to put my cock in Aqua's slutty pussy!" and she spread her crotch wide and said, "I want your cock in Aqua's slutty pussy! Give it to me quickly!"
After missionary position, I made her get on all fours and thrust from behind, and she screamed like a beast.
"Good! Squeeze my tits more!"
"Stick out your tongue, Aqua! Lick more lewdly, slobbering all over!"
When it was over, I made her perform cleaning fellatio meticulously.She seemed completely in a hypnotic state.
She was finished into a super slutty state, and when I said, "Suck my cock," she happily took it in her mouth.
"You made me into such a super slutty cock-lover! My lewd pussy is throbbing right away! I want your cock quickly!"
"Then, straddle me yourself and shake your hips!"
In the front-facing seated position, she skillfully guided my cock to her pussy and enjoyed it slowly, savoring it. She became completely easy to make cum, and even started squirting. I also got to enjoy the back-facing seated position, and she let me cum inside ten times.
(That's right! I'll set it so that entering this room puts her in a hypnotic state!)
I set it so that snapping my fingers turned the switch on, clapping my hands released it, and she would forget her memories with me. Aqua was limp, so I cast Sleep on her, put her to sleep, and used Instant Movement to carry her to the couple's bedroom.
Windam was dead asleep, but I cast Sleep on him, used the Onahole, squeezed out Windam's semen, and splattered it onto Aqua.
(This should make their marriage harmonious!)
Aqua slept with a satisfied face. My semen was leaking from her pussy as she slept soundly. The next morning, they would wake up naked next to each other, and with the evidence remaining, they would surely notice.
At breakfast the next morning, I served vegetable sticks with mayonnaise for them to eat, and it was well-received by all five.
"Everyone except Aristo-sama was suffering from some kind of illness. First, the major cause is high blood pressure. This is due to excessive salt intake. Aqua-sama, it's difficult to say, but you had anemia and hemorrhoids. It was painful, wasn't it?"
She looked down and answered quietly, "Huh? Yes."
"I believe it is because you did not receive appropriate treatment when you gave birth to Aristo-sama. There should be no pain now. I have treated you, but it won't heal immediately. I will treat you every day while you are here. I suspect that was the cause of your anemia and difficulty with bowel movements."
"Then, the cause of my dizziness and headaches as well?"
"That is the reason. After that, let's improve your diet!"
The cause of Aqua's painful days was understood, and she took hands with her mother-in-law Marino and rejoiced greatly.
Aqua had glowing skin, while Windam was haggard. The Klaus couple were not so boorish as to ask what had happened last night.
"So, Shivans-kun, how should one go about curing this high blood pressure?"
Klaus asked with a troubled face.
"First, regarding salt, reduce it to less than half of what you consume now. Of course, I guarantee the taste. Additionally, I will provide meals that allow you to eat meat, fish, and vegetables in a balanced manner."
Hearing this, the adults were relieved.
After Breakfast, I took them out for Pat-Pat Golf, and when they played the course, the whole family got excited. The course was designed to make them walk moderately, so it seemed to be good exercise.
"Father. Isn't this the first time we've relaxed together as a family like this while enjoying the scenery of great nature?"
"Indeed! But this golf thing is interesting! When we return, let's have it built in our garden too! With this, Marino, who lacks exercise, can move too! Wahahaha!"
"Oh my! You! Ohohoho!"
Joyful laughter echoed.
In the afternoon, the adults said they were heading to the sand bath, so I invited Emilia and went out to town with Aristo.
"Hey! It's the young master! Buy some deer meat skewers!"
"Unfortunately, my allowance has been reduced."
When I said this sadly, those around burst into laughter.
"I heard! Gale's master said, 'Because of that brat, we're not in the black at all!'"
"Is that so. Then tonight, let's put plenty of chili peppers in Gale's dinner!"
The surrounding customers burst into laughter and said, "That's good! He'll be huffing and puffing when he takes a shit tomorrow morning!"
As we passed by, Aristo watched with admiration as many people called out with smiles, "Young master! Emilia-chan!"
"Amazing! To have so many people in town call out to you."
"It's a small town. You become acquaintances whether you like it or not."
What Aristo wanted to say was not that, but that there was probably no other town where nobles were liked this much.
Before we knew it, we had passed through the fields and arrived at the river. I had cast Purification and Clean on this river, making it usable even as drinking water. I didn't want them getting parasites or diseases.
Every river has purification slimes and is clean, but it's a case of better safe than sorry.
"Wow! It's a beautiful river. There are quite a lot of fish, huh?"
As Aristo watched with admiration, children were spearing fish with harpoons.
"Shivans big brother, Emilia big sister! Help us!"
"Alright! I'm coming!"
When Emilia and I speared a few, the children said, "As expected, you're good! You, the brother over there, try it too!" and Aristo also took on the challenge.
However...
"No good! You're worse than us!"
"S-sorry."
Rejected by the children, Aristo was dejected.So, I gave Aristo some advice.
"Think of that fish as an enemy. The enemy is also watching us. If Aristo-sama winds up, the enemy will think you're about to attack and flee. It's the same with magic; if you chant, the enemy will see right through you, won't they? You'd die on the battlefield, right?"
"So that's why Butler-dono was chantless. Of course, I've never seen it, but I've heard he toyed with and defeated enemies without chanting."
At that, he watched Emilia's and my movements once more.He noticed that there were no wasted movements and that we were catching the fish.
"I'm not sure if seeking efficiency in everything is good, but Aristo-sama comes from a lineage that will eventually become a key figure in the military. In that case, wouldn't it be good to learn how to achieve the maximum effect with minimum force?"
"Indeed, that's true! I'm starting to see a little of what I should do! Thank you, Shivans! You really are my friend!"
He hugged me and slapped my back repeatedly.I was slapped, unable to say that it hurt because yesterday your mother became like a beast and left my back covered in scratches.
He practiced immediately, and Aristo finally managed to catch one.
"I did it! I did it!"
"Big brother, aren't you celebrating too much?"
The children were calm, but he returned overjoyed and began telling the Klaus couple and the Windam couple with sparkling eyes.
"I see. Learning from river fish, is it? He said he had no teacher, but perhaps this nature is his teacher."
At Klaus's words, the other adults nodded.
"There's one thing that concerns me. Father, doesn't efficiency drop without chanting?"
Klaus laughed, "Fufufu," and said, "Windam. That is something Aristo here will research. Isn't that right?" and Aristo said, "Yes! When I enter the Academy, I will experiment and present my findings, Grandfather!" and his grandmother Marino hugged him.
