Magical★Explorer - Chapter 14

Hanamura House: Hatsumi’s event

Ever since I came to this world, I have had many [first experiences]. Using magic for the first time, riding on a magic-powered car and today, ever since I was born, my first dogeza. I planned to use it in front of a certain royalty first though.

Hatsumi-san is staring at me for a while now. There’s no sign that she intends to look away at all. All I can do is to continue rubbing my forehead on the ground.

“……………….”

This silence is painful. But the bad one here is me. No matter how I think about it, I was to blame.

I entered the bath without checking the inside first. I was deep in thought so I didn’t check and ended up just entered it like that.

“The food is ready.”

A carefree voice came from the kitchen. Of course, I keep grinding my head on the ground. The front of my head seems like it is getting bald but I can’t stand up here.

“Haa…Kousuke, raise your head.”

I raise my head as she told me to. She is no longer staring at me.

“Dinner, let’s go.”

Seem like she forgave me, for now.

When I arrived at the kitchen, what’s on the table were mushroom, potage soup, hamburg steak, and rice. A lot of food that children would like.

Everyone took their seats and start eating.

Hatsumi-san is no longer look angry. I silently put the hamburg steak into my mouth and keep eating while minding Hatsumi-san.

Unexpectedly, Marino-san is good at cooking. When I told her that “It’s even more delicious than the food I ate at a hotel or ryokan” she replied happily with “Nn, Geez♪”

The one that I find especially delicious is the hamburg steak. The handmade Hamburg is very juicy and the juice floods out when I put it in my mouth. It’s the flood of supreme bliss.

“In fact, I was trying to make your favorite food… but since you said you didn’t have any preference and whatever I made is fine, that’s why I mixed in the things Hatsumi like too, you know? Hatsumi’s taste is still so childish.”

Speaking of which, it is unusual for Hatsumi-san to shaking her head so flusteredly.

“Come to think of it, what Hatsumi-san ate yesterday was…..Karaage and omelet rice, right?”

No matter how I think about it they are both children’s favorite food.

“Mom!?”

Hatsumi-san’s face got a little bit redder while glaring at Marino-san. In the game, Hatsumi-san doesn’t feel like she has a human-ish part to her at all, that is completely not the case here.

“But I love it too. Hatsumi-san, if you have a place to recommend around here please tell me by all means.”

“……………….”

She said nothing and puts rice into her mouth. Well, maybe she will bring me along in the future, I believe so.

When I was enjoying the soup, Marino-san let out a voice as if she remembered something and hit her hand together, she then turned to face me.

“That’s right. Ludivine-chan will come here tomorrow.”

“Ehh, is that so………..HA?”

What did you say just now?

“She will probably come after lunchtime so stay home. Okay?”

Seriously? Don’t just drop the bomb like you were saying you will be home late tomorrow.

————————————

After dinner, I returned to my room worrying about tomorrow. Certainly, I know that this day will come sooner or later, but I still haven’t been able to come up with anything regarding what I did that day.

Let’s organize the situation for now. Ludivine Marie-Ange De La Trefle, the second daughter of the Emperor of Trefle empire. To such noblewoman, after I helped her I stared at her panty and touched her boob.

“…………It will surely be capital punishment.”

First, let’s dogeza for the time being. “Please accept my sincere apology for everything I did, your Highness Ludivine”  If she won’t forgive me with that then there’s no more future waiting for me.

Will she really forgive me if I apologize?

What if. Let’s say that a random woman suddenly touches my important part. Can I forgive her? Wait, wouldn’t that be considered a reward for me? She might unexpectedly forgive me too, right?

“Nope, not happening”

So while I’m thinking of various countermeasures, I suddenly heard a knock from the door.

“Kousuke.”

“Hatsumi-san? please come in.”

Hatsumi-san entered the room. She took a small breath and looks around.

My luggage that was carried over arrived and I can maintain the minimum standard of my daily life now. However, aside from the necessary stuff, I discarded everything else, so the room might be a little empty. Of course, there’s no dangerous stuff lying around in the room.

“Is something wrong?”

I called out to Hatsumi-san who is staring at my room.

“No, nothing. I just have something to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“I want to confirm…….Kousuke, umm, do you like an older person?”

“Ha?”

“Kousuke, do you like a mature woman?”

What is she bringing up so suddenly?

“Kaa-sama is already in her 40s you know?”

“Could you tell me in detail about why you came to that conclusion?”

Now, please sit here and explain it from the start.

“But you seem to be on a really good term with Kaa-sama (TLN: Mom). I was wondering if you are running for the Otou-san (TLN: Dad) position.”

How did she come to that? And how did she think that Marino-san would romantically love the son of her close cousin? That’s only happening in an Eroge. Of course, Marino-san is right in the middle of my strike zone (except for her age). That’s why there are various things to………No, what am I thinking.

“For the time being that is not possible. Moreover, I only interact with her on the same level as you, Hatsumi-san…….”

“But, you’re so stiff when you are talking to me.”

That might be the case, but.

“You see, I was strictly ordered to not use polite language with Marino-san…And using polite-language and honorifics are like a habit to me, I just used it without thinking most of the time.”

I am a former member of society. It just that if I treat Marino-san like a stranger, she would just inflate her cheek so I got no choice but to be casual. But inflating her cheek? Umm, uhh…how old was she again? She’s cute when she does it though…………..(Semi-despair).

“You don’t have to be so polite around me too, I want you to call me a little intimately. Onee-chan (TLN: Big-sis)  is fine too.”

So you just want me to call you Onee-chan? There was no event to get close to her in the game so I don’t know but it seems like she is the type that will collapse her established character, huh.

Rather, could it at least be Onee-san instead? No, I will call her that anyway.

“Umm……..Understood. Hatsumi-neesan.”

As if a fishbone caught in her neck, she nodded with a vague expression.

I thought that she would leave the room as is, but she didn’t.

We hung out in my room and chat about silly things till the day was over. Needless to say, the Ludi countermeasure plan was completely forgotten.
