(Chastity Reversed) I'm Sorry, My Lady. I Had Sex With Another Woman Again - Chapter 32: Hm? You just said you'd do anything, right...?

When I awoke, the first thing I felt was an intense headache. Tears flowed down the side of my still-closed eyes, and my soaked underwear felt disgusting.

—Ah, I felt terrible. So, that was… those days were just a dream after all.

It was a long, long dream. A world of my ideal, created by reading Simon-kun’s feelings and twisting his psychology to suit my convenience.

I felt like I had been dreaming for so long that such a delusion seemed like truth.

“A-are you alright?”

Perhaps noticing that I had woken up, Simon-kun, who had likely carried me here, expressed his concern.

Finding it tiresome to respond, I merely frowned.

—I didn’t want to return to this reality.

What was I in this world?

Born as a princess, yet in reality just bowing and scraping to everyone around me, always being considerate. Unlike the other side where Simon-kun was, there was no one here who understood me. It was suffocating, unbearable.

And on top of that, what was this today?

I let my guard down because my opponent was male, lost in training, shouted strange noises while wetting myself and fainted. This was beyond pathetic.

Having exposed such an ugly display, how much negative emotion would I be exposed to while living from now on? How could I regain my reputation?

Even Mother, how far would she protect her foolish daughter who couldn’t complete her mission…

“Um, truly, today, I did something terrible…”

“…Be quiet.”

…The most painful thing was the presence of the man before me, whom I had just seen in my dream.

Even though I knew it was a dream, it was probably a pseudo-experience created by the mixture of his spirit and my heart.

Not complete nonsense or delusion.

It was a story of a world that could have been. If something had gone differently, if Simon-kun and I had met, if we could have met before Dorothy.

Those happy days might have truly existed. Thinking that way, it was unbearably painful.

…In truth, I wanted him to know me.

To understand me, to interact with me without pretense. And to be enveloped by that warm heart again.

But what was the reality?

Simon and I had a relationship where we had barely spoken.

From my perspective, he was the target of a mission from Mother, a person to be monitored.

Due to reading his mind, I knew he wasn’t a bad person, but I still didn’t have confirmation that he wasn’t a spy.

For my survival, I still needed to investigate. Given our positions, I didn’t know if we could deepen our friendship.

And from his perspective, I was the weird person who wet myself in combat training. Not only losing to a man, but fainting and wetting myself… 

If I were him, I’d be totally put off. Would you want to be friends with such a person? Impossible, right…

“I’m sorry, but could you leave for today…”

There was no way I could become friends with him now.

After all, this world was a timeline where I couldn’t get along with Simon-kun. If I had seen the dream a little earlier, before the training…

I would have tried to win him over despite all difficulties.

But now, having clearly been disliked by him, I couldn’t think of what to do.

I wanted to sleep for a while, and then think about it.

Just for now, I didn’t want to see Simon-kun’s face.

So, even though I was the one who had made the blunder, I told Simon-kun to leave without apologizing. Hating my despicable self, I tightly closed my eyes and wrapped myself in the blanket. 

Leave quickly…

“…!”

But even though I wished that way, I could still feel Simon-kun’s breathing.

Until 30 minutes ago, he was someone I had found so dear and precious.

Finding his presence a bit suffocating now, I couldn’t bear it and opened my eyes.

“…I said! Go hom… eh…”

What I saw when I opened my eyes.

Noble, warm, familiar, beautiful.

The most important person in this world was pressing his forehead to the ground, begging for my forgiveness.

“I truly, sincerely apologize…!”

“…Huh?”

◇

“S-stop! You, don’t do such a thing!”

A voice like a scream spread through the infirmary where only the two of us were, but I couldn’t stop myself.

“Please, I beg your forgiveness!”

“Stop it!”

Thank goodness…

It seemed that even though this was another world, the effect of dogeza [prostrating oneself] was still valid here.

If this posture could convey my sincerity to the other person, then I had even less reason to stop. What Teresa-san was saying now was probably the classic “Raise your face”.

Not raising one’s face easily was the greatest sincerity.

(Yes, I need to settle this peacefully somehow…)

Making a noble my lady wet herself was outrageous. Well, it would be good if it only cost me my head. But in the worst case, because I was a butler of the Novi family, there was a significant possibility it could affect my masters too.

I’d rather die than cause trouble for my lady or Dorothy-sama because of me.

In that case, doing a dogeza here was a small price to pay.

I raised my face slightly, then struck my head against the floor as if trying to break it.

THUD!

“Please! I’ll do anything I can! Please forgive me for this incident!”

“S-stop! I understand, I understand!”

Good…!

Though I had done something terrible, it seemed my desperate enthusiasm had gotten through to her.

Teresa-san, breathing heavily, placed her hand on my shoulder to stop me.

“I don’t want to see that side of you…!

Stop it, Simon-kun…!”

“I truly am sorry…”

She was surely a good person.

I felt ashamed for having applied enough force to make such a person wet herself, and for guiding her to forgive me forcibly with my apology. Really, what was I doing?

“You’re an idiot. Really… This is my fault, isn’t it…”

“No, not at all! I went too far! It’s my fault!”

On top of that, I made her, who had forgiven me, say “it’s my fault”. It’s true that she was the one who wet herself, but the cause was entirely mine. Yet, to make her say such a thing…

Ah, I was so embarrassed!

From the bottom of my heart, I was sorry…

“I truly apologize. Please let me make amends in some way…”

“…Really, Simon-kun is such an idiot after all. You shouldn’t say such things, you know?

Saying you’ll do anything…

………………………

…………Hm? …Anything???”

“Yes! If it’s something I can do, please let me do anything!”

That was all I could do.

Wanting to ease my guilt, I made the suggestion to her with a somewhat light-hearted feeling. But that might have been hasty.

The moment I spoke those words, the atmosphere changed.

She looked down, put her hand on her chin, and began to mutter. Her eyes, which had been somewhat faded and stagnant, suddenly filled with color, and gradually a bright light began to burn in them. It was beautiful, like a flame.

“…Body… no… service… but, I don’t want to make him sad…”

Her words released downward like a curse.

This atmosphere of hers, which had been as gentle as a mother until just now, changed drastically, and I felt a slight shiver run down my spine.

(B-body? Will my internal organs, will my internal organs be taken…?

No, but if she forgives me with that, I…)

Could I regenerate my internal organs with healing magic if they were taken?

If they’d heal, I could offer up about one full human body’s worth?

While I was thinking such things, Teresa-san turned to me and told me about what was to come.

“Simon-kun, in that case… If it’s okay with you, when you’re free, like today… Would you come to class with me?

And, if you’d like, become my training partner, or something…”

“Eh…?”

“I mean, if you… If you don’t mind, that would be good…”

For me, who was prepared for organ extraction, this was an extremely easy request.

Rather, I was almost embarrassed that she would pair with me after I had made such a huge blunder. Naturally, there was no reason to refuse.

“If that’s all you want! Gladly!”

“…Well, I’m the one who asked, though.

Really, you’re an idiot through and through, Simon-kun… Don’t you think about getting involved in troublesome matters…?”

Squirming, twisting her body, she spoke casually to me. I didn’t quite understand what she meant, but it was probably fine.

I would do better in the next training session.

I would apply today’s lesson tomorrow.

I would never choke a girl to the point of wetting herself again.

Instead, how about touching her head?

That probably wouldn’t be a problem.

“Next time, I’ll do it well! Don’t worry!”

“You don’t seem to understand… Well, that’s fine…”

She extended her gloved hand smoothly.

“Then, once again, nice to meet you… Since we’re going to be ‘partners’ from now on.”

“Yes! Pleased to meet you, Teresa-san!”

The hand I grasped was warm.

Through the glove, I strongly felt her body temperature.

Holding hands, we gazed into each other’s eyes for about a minute.

She lowered her eyes slightly and let go of my hand as if reluctant.

“…Our meeting was unfortunate.

But we’ll surely get along well, right…?”

“Yes, of course!”
