(Chastity Reversed) I'm Sorry, My Lady. I Had Sex With Another Woman Again - Chapter 13: Sorry For Being On The Winning Side (LOL)

“Um… I understand it’s impolite, but… won’t you please come to my house after all?”

In front of the carriage meant to carry the three girls, Suberia said this to me.

She was trying to scout me with those words. It was the second time I heard this talk, including the attempt on the first day.

It sounded completely different from when she’d tried last time. 

Even though I had been so exasperated then; even though I had been so angry…

Now, I couldn’t deny that I was wavering.

“…”

“H-Hey! Me too… I want you to come too. If it’s Suberia’s house, we can go anytime…”

When I stayed silent, Shia followed up with such words. She grabbed my sleeve and looked straight at me, pleading… In her right hand, she was carefully holding the maid outfit I had sewn.

Seeing that made me want to ride the carriage with them, and I unconsciously looked away.

“Senpai, I can’t live without you anymore. Won’t you take responsibility?”

“…”

But when I looked away, there was another girl that spoke up. Ginny was staring at me with dark eyes, also grabbing my sleeve.

Suberia in front; Shia on the left; Ginny on the right. Before I knew it, I was surrounded. They probably wouldn’t let go until I gave them a proper answer.

“I…”

Naturally, I intended to refuse. I had Dorothy-sama and Lady Nico who had taken care of me, hence I had no intention of leaving them without permission.

So, I opened my mouth to say “I’m sorry”.

“…!”

Yet seeing the faces of the three girls on the verge of tears, I ended up hesitating once more.

Why couldn’t I say it clearly?

I had no intention of going, so I just needed to say that. It was simple. 

It was such a simple thing, so why couldn’t I do it?

As if sensing my feelings, Suberia gently placed her hand on top of my right hand.

“You’re hesitant. Is that right? …If so, if you come to the Foneker house, I promise you won’t regret it…”

“No, I…”

“Wait a minute—!!!”

Even though we had only been apart for three days, it felt a bit nostalgic. The voice of the girl I had been with for half a year rang out.

“Ah, this is unbeatable.”

Watching Nico jump onto Simon-sama, I felt defeated by her for the first time. Usually, she was useless, at the bottom of the class in studies. In sports, she was nearly last as well.

I thought I would never lose to someone like that in my life.

But in love, I might just have lost.

Because I saw such a gentle expression on Simon-sama’s face for the first time. It was different from the exasperated look he constantly showed us.

Eyes like a father doting on his daughter, indulging her endlessly. I didn’t know if it came from romantic feelings.

However, it made me think that her place in his list of priorities was far, far above ours.

“The work experience is over now! Go home!”

Nico shouted while rubbing her face against Simon-sama’s chest. Even at such shameless behavior, Simon-sama just laughed. He even patted her head.

“I’m sorry, you all. Even though you invited me… My place is here after all, so I can’t go.”

“Is that so…”

“Don’t try to invite your friend’s butler! Idiot!”

…Simon-sama, you are such a heartbreaker.

My first kiss was with you. You were the first gentleman to be kind to me. You were the first to scold me for my habit of trying to solve everything with money.

You gave me so many first experiences. You were so special to me.

For you, was it… just nothing at all?

Looking around, Shia and Ginny had the same expression as me. Something akin to the despair of realizing their first love had just ended.

It was plastered on their faces.

“Well, when I escort Lady Nico, we’ll probably meet again. Don’t look so sad.”

“…Yes, I suppose so.”

Whether he knew our feelings or not. Simon-sama smiled at us.

…Even if we met again, it might just be painful. Thinking that, but still…

“Thank you for these past three days…!”

Wanting to express gratitude for taking care of us at the Novi house, I bowed deeply.

◇

“Welcome home, my lady.”

“I’m back!”

I’d heard that in some countries, maybe in Africa, there was a custom of mothers carrying their children until they grew up. 

This felt just like that. I carried her light body with one arm as we entered the mansion.

“Oh man, it was so tough~ Suberia’s mom was so strict~ She said she wouldn’t let me eat until I polished the floor? Isn’t that cruel?”

“…Did you polish it?”

“I stole and ate apples from the back garden! I learned how to shoot apples silently! Praise me, praise me!”

“Hmm, I wonder what I should do…”

It must have undoubtedly been tough for her, so I decided not to scold her for now.

When my lady said something heartwarming like “I want to eat something warm!”, I made her corn potage.

She loved the sweet kind.

“…Hey~ Did you make food for them too?”

“Well, since I was their instructor, I did.”

“Y-You didn’t blow on it to cool it down or anything, right?!”

“Haha, I didn’t. Maybe because of that, they got burned.”

“Oh! It’s fine, then! Simon, of course you’ll blow on mine to cool it down! I can’t get burned, you know!”

I fed Lady Nico while she giggled and played around.

“Here, say ‘aah’.”

“Aahm~ ♡ Mmm, the best! Those girls couldn’t do this, could they? Sorry (laugh).”
