Max told us it would take around a week to contact their client . We decided to spend the next few days impatiently waiting in Crane’s mansion .
However, I didn’t waste this free time during the wait . First off, I decided to write Claire a letter .
Among other things, I asked her to begin a search for a new Lyk Skull Bear . I also sent this same request to Crown Prince Alberto and Akane .
I’d also like to ask her to look into Max and Melissa’s client, but it will take time to send letters back and forth . I won’t have any time to get information about their client .
Instead, I decided to ask Crane to look into the matter .
I don’t plan on putting any pressure on their client, but it would help if I knew his identity before we met . If I know this much, I may be able to find something he needs and offer it to him in exchange for the liver .
After doing everything I could think of to give us the best chance possible of getting the liver, I finally had was able to take a break . I was walking down a hallway to speak with Sophia when I spotted a young girl .
She appeared to be around ten years old . She was a fragile looking girl with jet black hair that came down to her waist . When she noticed me, she timidly kept glancing between me and the floor .
She’s a really cute girl . I wonder if she’s one of Crane’s potential mistresses .
I looked down from her face and saw that her body looked rather small for her age .
“…are you L-Leon-sama?”
“Yes, I am…and you are?”
“I’m, umm, well…M-Maya . ”
…Maya? I’m surprised to meet someone with a Japanese name here . Well, Akane is the same . Surrounding countries seem to use Japanese names, but is this girl from one of those countries?
“Umm…my name was…given to me by my father . ”
“Well, it’s a nice name . I think it’s a perfect name for you . ”
Maya — as in midnight . That must just be a coincidence since no word like that exists in this world, but it’s
perfect for a girl with hair as black as hers .
“Hau~…!? Thank you…very much, Leon…sama . ”
Did I embarrass her? Her face turned bright red and she started looking at the floor . She’s like an extremely innocent girl . Her shyness is cute .
“So, Maya, is there something I can do for you?”
“Ah, that’s, well… . I just wanted to thank you . ”
“…thank me? For what?”
“Umm, my hair . It’s become very beautiful… . ”
“Are you talking about the shampoo and conditioner . ”
“That’s…right . ”
Essentially, she’s grateful to me for introducing this world to shampoo and conditioner . Prior to this, most of this world’s residents had dried out hair .
“I see . Well, you don’t need to thank me for that . Is that all you wanted to say?”
“Ah, umm…there’s one more thing . Leon-sama, you’re rapidly increasing your sisters-in-law, right?”
“…I wouldn’t say that’s exactly right . ”
“Really?”
“Yeah, there are many reasons for that . It’s true that the number of my sisters has increased, but it’s not as if I’ve been trying to increase the number . ”
“Is that so… . ”
“Y-Yeah . ”
She looked sad .
“That’s how it is… . ”
Why does she look so lonely!?
“Umm…did I say something wrong?”
“No, it’s…nothing like that . ”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes . Then, I’ll…be on my way . ”
Maya said this and took off down the hallway . I don’t really know what just happened, but she left me feeling a little guilty… .
W-What was that about?
…w-well, nothing I can do about it now . While still thinking about what just happened with Maya, I hurried to Sophia’s room .
“…Leon onii-chan, what’s wrong?”
“Ah, that’s, well… . ”
“Okay… . Did you want to come in?”
“Sounds good . ”
I followed Sophia into her room . She took a seat on the bed so I sat next to her .
“So what are you doing here so late at night? Are you finally ready to do that? You don’t have to worry about me . I’m always ready . ”
“No, no, that’s not it . I was worried about you . ”
Before she could say any more, I quickly ended any thoughts she may have had of doing anything like that . I thought she’d be depressed…but if she’s capable of joking
joking like that, she may not be as bad as I expected .
Or is she just a good actor?
“…I’m really not forcing myself . ”
I guess she read my feelings .
But she’s probably bluffing . Elyse is still suffering from that disease, and as things stand, we don’t even know if we’ll be able to get the final ingredient for her medicine . There’s no way she can be calm .
“That’s right . Of course, I’m not okay, but I’m trying to remember what Mother told me . ”
“What Elyse told you?”
Is she talking about when we met Elyse at the Sfir mansion…? But what did Elyse say?
“Mother said that I should focus on taking care of my new family . ”
Ah…that’s what she means .
To me, Elyse is the person that murdered my family . However, she did tell Sophia that it would be rude to me if Sophia tried to maintain a relationship with her .
“I already told you before . Even though she is responsible for my parents’ murder, I know she’s important to you . You don’t have to worry about me . ”
“…thank you . I know you mean that from the bottom of your heart . ”
“Then… . ”
Sophia just silently shook her head .
“I know now after what happened with Max and Melissa, that I don’t want you to feel like you have to do whatever it takes to save my mother . ”
“I see… . ”
I then remembered our exchange back in the forest .
Sophia told me she didn’t want me doing something like that for her and it would make her feel even worse if I did .
Sophia doesn’t want me sacrificing my own values and morals to help her .
In other words, Sophia is telling me it isn’t necessary for me to save Elyse if it means that I won’t suffer .
She’s still so worried about her mother but she’s still thinking about me… . How hard must it have been for her to make that decision…?
It’s nice that she’s thinking about me, but I feel sorry that she had to make such a tough decision .
“I’ received your feelings properly, but it’s still too early to give up . I won’t commit any crimes to save Elyse, but I will do everything possible to
possible to save her . ”
“That’s… . Are you talking about Max and Melissa’s client?”
“Yeah, that’s right . ”
We still haven’t found out who that is .
There’s no guarantee that those negotiations will work out well for us . However, I will use all of the Grances family’s power and connections to get that liver .
“…Leon onii-chan…thank you . ”
“I told you already, you don’t have to worry . It’s no trouble . ”
“Even if you say that I still feel that I’m a bother . I’m always asking you for help . Isn’t there anything I can do to help you?”
“Something you can do?”
“Yeah, anything . If it’s something I can do, I’ll do it . ”
“Hey, a girl shouldn’t say stuff like that . ”
“Ah, that’s right . Then…I won’t do anything…unless it’s with Leon onii-chan . ”
“…eh?”
What does she mean by that?
“There are people in this world that would use what I just said to steal me away from you . But I hate the idea of doing that kind of stuff with anyone but you . So, I’ll only do anything for you . ”
R-R-Right, that makes sense . Only me . Who taught her something like… . Nevermind, I don’t even have to ask . More importantly, I should really change the topic .
“First of all, I’m going to reject that idea . ”
“Eh!? I didn’t know you had that kind of hobby, Leon onii-chan!”
“That’s not what I’m saying! I’m telling you that you won’t have to do something like that in return . ”
“But… . ”
Sophia seemed uneasy .
Sophia has done a lot to help me . However, I’m not sure she’s aware of that fact .
“If you want to do something for me then, please, smile . ”
“…eh? What do you mean?”
“You said you wanted to help me, so you can do that by just smiling . ”
“…Leon onii-chan, do you think I’d agree to that?”
That’s strange . That worked on Claire…but I guess back then we were really young .
“…why not, Leon onii-chan? I don’t have any experience, but I have learned plenty . I’m sure I can please you a lot, onii-chan . ”
“~~~~~”
What’s with this destructive power? Lines like that coming from the mouth of such a pure and innocent girl… . Is . Is this the final form of gap moe…?
— Calm down . I need to calm down . I’m falling into Sophia’s pace .
“I’m happy that you feel that way, but please wait until you’ve grown a little more . ”
In this world, Sophia is considered to be a grown woman that can even get married . It may be wrong of me to use the ethics from my previous world here .
It is true that I don’t want Sophia forcing herself . However, I am tempted by the fact that Sophia has learned a lot of techniques even though she has no experience .
“Fu~, I see… . ”
Sophia looked at me while smiling . She must have been reading my feelings .
“No, don’t misunderstand, okay? As a man it’s only natural I’d have certain desires, but it is true that I don’t want to put any pressure on you . ”
“Leon onii-chan, are you sure you believe your own words?”
“This is just making me a little anxious!”
When I think about defiling the pure Sophia, I can’t help but get a little disconcerted . I have a strong desire to just give in to this feeling . I’m also starting to notice Sophia more as a woman… .
Sophia let out a sweet sigh . I’m unsure whether or not she read my feelings… .
“I understand why you feel the way you do, Leon onii-chan . But I’m at an age where I’m interested in doing stuff like that . And it’s unfair if you’re only doing that stuff with Alice onee-chan . ”
“Y-You shouldn’t say stuff like that… . ”
“Un~fair~”
“O-Okay . How about this: if Alice agrees to it, you can use your ability to relive her experiences with me . ”
“– really!?”
“Yeah, I won’t go back on what I said . But it’s only if Alice agrees, okay?”
“Yeah, I know! Then, I’m going to find Alice onee-chan!”
“S-Sure . ”
Sophia sprinted out of the room . I only said that out of desperation, but…Alice won’t agree, right?
…w-well, Alice doesn’t have much common sense, but I’m sure she’d want to keep stuff like that just between us, either due to jealousy or embarrassment . There’s no way she’ll allow Sophia to use her ability to experience our nights together .
…don’t tell me .
