Chapter 67: Birthday Celebration ①

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Hours flew by quickly when I spent time alone with Tia. By the time we realized it, time was dawning near. Flustered, the two of us scrambled around to prepare ourselves for the birthday celebration. The private time we spent in this short period of time shall be our little secret.

Although this was my birthday celebration, but we only invited people I was close with. Of course, His Majesty was here, along with Tia. Lance and his spouse were here, including Teresa-san, Queen Heartness, Miria, Wuxian and the remaining staff of the estate. These people were always present for my birthday celebration and so… My fifteenth birthday celebration began.

“Everyone, thank you for coming all the way here to celebrate my son’s birthday today.”

My mother, the head of the family, marked the start of the celebration with a short greeting.

“Thank you for gathering here to celebrate my birthday! I’m truly happy I can celebrate it with everyone every year!”

I followed suit, expressing my genuine gratitude to everyone. But… Things started changing from here on. This wasn’t unlike my usual birthday celebration. It was as if I could hear someone exclaiming, “It’s my turn now!”

(Of course, the voice was entirely my own delusion…)

Instead of starting the feast, I continued on.

“I have an announcement to make. Tia, Miria, Marin, Leila and Queen Heartness… Could you all come over here?”

“””Hm???”””

All five of them approached me, curious to know what was going on. I had already spoken to King Rainrose and Queen Rainrose beforehand. This was one of the things I had been desperate to do right after returning from my family’s most memorable place.

“Tia.”

“What is it, El?”

“I want you to officially become my fiancée. I want you to become my wife one day. Of course, I’ve already obtained permission from the king and the others.”

“Re-Really…?”

“Yes. I want you to stay by my side forever.”

Taking Tia’s left hand, I gently slid a ring onto her ring finger up to the first joint. This was what people refer to as an engagement ring in my previous life. Of course, I already had the same ring on the ring finger of my left hand. I had gotten a matching pair of rings for me and Tia.

This world didn’t have the custom of wearing engagement or wedding rings. From what I had heard, only the royal family and other high-ranking nobles. Rings were mostly seen as accessories here. Given that there were so few men in this world, I guess it was understandable. The concept of marriage in general was vague enough in this world.

“This ring symbolizes my promise to walk through life together with you and… This ring also serves as a proof that you are someone special in my heart. I will give you another matching ring when we get married later. So Tia, will you accept my proposal?”

Tears welled up in Tia’s eyes and with the brightest smile she could muster between sobs, Tia exclaimed.

“Yes! Yes I will! I will stay by your side forever, El!”

As I slid the ring fully onto her finger, she flung her arms around me and I hugged her back tightly. The whole room erupted into cheers and congratulations.

In the midst of the merry mood, I leaned in and whispered softly into Tia’s ears.

“Tia, the reason why I called the other women here are-“

“I know.”

“…I’m sorry, okay?”

“You don’t need to apologize. This is nothing out of the ordinary.”

“Tia…”

“I might get jealous sometimes, but when that happens.. Will you love me with all your might?”

“Of course.”

Now that no misunderstanding could come between us, I gave the same ring to Miria, Queen Heartness, Marin and Leila as well. I planned to give each of them a different wedding ring later too. Despite the tears on their eyes, all of them had a bright smile on their faces.

The room gradually quieted down and dishes were brought out one after another. The birthday celebration grew lively. People were busy eating, drinking and singing.

“El-sama!”

“What’s wrong, Rinrin?”

“I need you to come here-aru!”

I told Tia and the others that I needed to step away for a bit and just as I was about to leave…

“El.”

“Yes, Tia?”

“I’m fine with it. I’ve accepted everything, so do your best, okay?”

Tia said with a gentle smile on her face which made me wonder if she knew the reason why Rinrin called me out. I wanted to ask for more details, but Rinrin pulled me by the hand and led me to another room.

What awaited me in that room was…

Chapter 68: Birthday Celebration ②

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Click

The sound of the door locking reached my ears the moment I entered the room. Rinrin must be the one that locked the door, since she had entered the room together with me. Why didn’t I turn around to check? Well, it was simply because I couldn’t take my eyes off from the scene unfolding before me.

“””El-sama, happy birthday! Congratulations for becoming an adult!”””

“….Yeah… Thanks…”

“Hm. El-sama, why are you so stiff?”

“Isn’t he just feeling embarrassed?”

“Uuu…. Senpai, why do I also need to…”

“El-sama, are you going to burst up into flames soon?”

“Now, El-sama! Eat to your heart’s content!”

“Fufufu~ I’m really looking forward to your performance, El-kun.”

“I’m… Your only idol.”

“B-By eat to my heart’s content, do you mean….”

“What are you so surprised about-aru?! You need to start eating quickly or the next event won’t proceed as planned! Tia-sama already told you to do your best, didn’t she?!”

So Tia knew about this. Then when she told me to do my best… She was referring to this?

“Hm. El-sama…”

“What is it, Letty?”

“If you don’t start eating soon, the food will go bad, you know?”

“…”

“Come on, El-sama! Grab your chopsticks and start eating now-aru! I know it’s not much, but I will also start preparing myself while you eat the other food-aru!”

I was struggling to decide whether to describe this scene or not… But I guess I had to otherwise the readers wouldn’t understand what was happening. Alright. First, Letty. She was lying naked on the table with sashimi arranged in a deliberate way to cover her nipples and her private parts. This was that, right? The infamous naked sushi? I had only ever heard the rumors about it! I never saw one in real life! This kind of thing only existed in porn or controversial news story!

Good grief… Do I really had to describe everything? Seriously? For real? What? The story couldn’t progress otherwise? Fine, fine. Time to start describing I guess…

Next to Letty, there was Erin. She was sitting naked in a formal kneeling position and she had a bottle of fruit wine in hand. When our eyes met, she pressed her thighs together and started pouring the wine between her legs. The wine pooled between her thigh. Unlike Letty, Erin looked so incredibly ashamed. Or maybe that shameful expression was just my imagination? I mean, if it was that embarrassing for you, you definitely didn’t need to force yourself to do it, you know?! This must be what people refer to as seaweed sake, right? This was totally crossing the line! Out!! The ball was out! Three strikes!!

As for Miinya… She just stood there, completely naked of course. She seemed to be holding some sort of placard. It read…

《Please punish this filthy sow》

….

The heck?! What was that?!?! Some kind of roleplay?! Miinya, just what were you thinking?!?!??!

Next to Miinya, there was Kaira-san. She was also completely naked save for an apron covering her chest. This… This must be the classic naked apron?! No, Kaira-san?!?! What were you doing here?!

I could hear the sound of clothes rustling coming from behind me. I really didn’t want to look. I had a bad feeling about it. The alarm in my head kept ringing nonstop. Do I really had to look? Do I really had to…? Fine. Just a glance then. I steeled myself and turned around and sure enough, there was Teresa-san. She was completely naked but she was tied up in a tortoise shell bondage, dangling from the ceiling. Her voluptuous boobs were swaying back and forth, almost jiggling…

What?! Just how?!?! When?!?! When did she get hung up like that?! Was it Rinrin?! Was it Rinrin that hung her up just now?! Or.. Did she do it herself…? But how?!?!? There was no way she could be that skilled… More importantly, when did she get behind me?! Like, I didn’t even know how I should react. There were too many things going on at the same time!

As for Rinrin… She was wearing a skimpy nurse outfit. I wanted to ask where she got that nurse outfit, but at least her getup was the most normal out of everything else…

And finally, there was Mimi… WAIT?! Why was Mimi here too?! She was dressed in the idol outfit I had designed.

Am I… Am I the only one that feels comforted to see Mimi here…? Her presence really soothes my racing heart…

Wait a minute?! What did she say again? She was my one and only idol?! Could it be… The person that Mimi liked was ME?!

“Now, come and pick which one you would like to eat first! Hurry it up!”

“Hm. Please be quick! Don’t forget to savor each dish thoroughly!”

“Please discipline me properly!”

“It’s been a while, so please go easy on me…”

“Ugh… I tied it too tight! The rope is digging into my skin! El-kun, if you don’t mind, can you please eat me first? Be quick, please!”

“El-sama! Savor everything thoroughly, okay-aru?!”

“I’m officially retiring as an idol today, okay? I’m here to get you to fulfill that promise from back then…

“””Come now!!”””

If I could be allowed to say one thing… Couldn’t they do it in a more normal way…? Just doing it normally would be better, right??? Why did they have to prepare everything so meticulously like this… However, among the many questions that arose in my head… In the end, I …

＊＊＊

“I wonder where El is?”

“Ah, Lance. I… I was sweating, so I went to take a bath for a bit…”

“Is that so? But I feel like you were gone for a pretty long time.”

“It’s probably just your imagination…”

“Really? By the way, where’s Mother? I haven’t seen her around either…”

Gulp…

“Uh-?! Ummm-?! Right! I think I saw her with our maid earlier? I did! She was with our maids!”

“Is that so? Then there’s nothing to worry about I guess.”

“Yeah, it’s fine. Nothing to worry about at all. Lance, how are you feeling? Are you feeling tired?”

“Why are you asking me that out of the blue? You’re being weird, El.”

“What?! I-It’s just your imagination! Your imagination! Anyway, let’s drink! Cheers!”
