Old Man Isekai - Chapter 18

 A Break

Starting today, I’m taking a break from having sex with Cattleya and Maya. They had both been begging for it every single day, so I had to explain to them that this old guy's lower half was at its absolute limit. However, Cattleya and Maya countered with something utterly terrifying.

"Is that so? Then the two of us will just do it together, you know?" 

"Yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea 💖"

Ever since our threesome, these two had suddenly become incredibly close. Back at school, both Maya and Cattleya used to radiate an intense "don't talk to me" aura, meaning neither of them actually had any friends. Once they finally opened up and became honest with each other, they became best friends. I somehow managed to reason with them, getting them to promise not to do it together and to agree to a one-week break.

Maya and Cattleya both looked deeply unsatisfied, but they ultimately agreed. Still, I could hear them whispering something to each other in low voices.

"Oh! Cattleya, I just thought of something great." 

"What is it?" 

"Well, you see..." 

"I’m going to head out for a bit, what are you two up to?" 

"Yeah, we're going to do our own thing. Just make sure to come to my room around evening, okay?" 

"Master Dai, have a safe trip."

I had a distinctly bad feeling about this, but I left the room anyway.

I spent the day patrolling the royal castle to check if there were any demon slaves hidden around. In all likelihood, they had to be keeping them somewhere.

My reasoning was based on the fact that our training period was only set for a single month. No matter how you looked at it, would you really send someone summoned from another world straight into battle after just one month of training? They were either incredibly desperate, or they had a pressing reason to get us out of there before we discovered something we shouldn't see.

However, Cattleya had mentioned before that she had never seen a demon in her life. That meant they had to be kept in an area where the commoner maids weren't permitted to enter. The most suspicious spots were either the detention facility or the royal family's separate villa, but since I lacked both the time and a proper trigger to investigate, I was currently at a total dead end.

While walking and trying to figure out if I could at least infiltrate one of those locations, I found myself arriving at the chapel. Curious, I stepped inside and found Sharon offering a prayer.

As I stood there thinking how beautiful her praying figure looked, perfectly matching the serene atmosphere of the chapel, Sharon noticed my presence and spoke up.

"Hello, Mr. Dai. It is quite rare to see you here." 

"Hello, Sharon. I was just taking a little walk and got curious. Were you in the middle of a prayer?" 

"Yes. This is about the only thing I am truly capable of doing, after all..."

I'm pretty sure you have plenty of other things to do, though? Like gathering knowledge about this world or building up your physical stamina? During meals, Sharon was always the type to listen rather than speak, so I didn't know very much about her. Since this was a perfect opportunity, I decided the two of us should have a proper chat.

"Sharon, do you mind if I sit next to you? Do you want to talk for a bit?" 

"Certainly."

I took a seat right beside her.

"This is actually the first time the two of us have spoken alone, isn't it?" 

"Yes. I realized I wanted to have a conversation between adults for once." 

"If you say things like that, Maya and Cattleya will get angry with you, you know? And perhaps little Yuno as well?" 

"They'll be fine." 

"My own marriage wasn't a romantic one, so seeing everyone in love makes me quite envious." 

"Eh! You were married?" 

"I am well past marriageable age, so of course I am married! By the way, I also have a two-year-old daughter." 

"That must be incredibly tough on you, being separated. Was your prayer just now for your husband and daughter?" 

"Yes. Though, I am fairly certain neither my husband nor my daughter would mind all that much even if I were to disappear." 

"Why is that? Do you mind telling me?" 

"Not at all."

Sharon had been raised by the church because she was a war orphan. Since she happened to possess a natural talent for recovery magic, she simply continued working within the church's organization. To her, the orders from the church were absolute. While she was frantically healing the wounded exactly as instructed, people eventually started calling her a Saint before she even realized it.

Her husband was the son of the Archbishop and a Church Knight. Because of his status as the Archbishop's son, the marriage was strictly mandatory. However, her husband was a kind, family-oriented man, so their early married life had been quite pleasant. Lately, however, he was constantly away on military expeditions and rarely returned home.

As for her daughter, she had been taken away by the church almost immediately after birth in order to be groomed as the next Saint. Because of that, Sharon only got to see her once a month. Personally, I don't think a couple being separated or not having their child with them automatically makes them miserable—there are plenty of families like that. However, seeing the deeply lonely expression on Sharon’s face right in front of me, it was clear that she felt utterly miserable about it.

"That sounds incredibly difficult." 

"Because I was an orphan myself, I always wanted to have a completely normal family with my daughter." 

"Does your daughter take after you or your husband?" 

"After... me, I suppose....."

Did I ask something weird? Sharon's response was noticeably hesitant.

"I'm sorry. You mentioned earlier that you only get to see her once a month. Children grow up so fast, so I imagine it can be hard to tell sometimes, right?" 

"Th-That's right!" 

"Either way, I'm sure your husband is worried about you too. Let's do our best so we can all go home quickly!" 

"I do not think my husband is waiting for me." 

"Why? If you're always devotedly waiting for him at home, wouldn't he naturally be worried now that you've gone missing?" 

"Well, it's because I wasn't exactly waiting for him devotedly..."

Sensing that something deeper had happened, I was about to ask another question, but Sharon indicated that she wanted to drop the subject.

"Let us leave this conversation here. There is something I would like you to tell me instead, Dai." 

"What's that?" 

"Which one do you cherish more, Cattleya or Maya?" 

"Both of them." 

"An immediate answer!" 

"Yes. It's my personal creed to make the women involved in my life happy. If that number happens to grow, I'll make sure to make those girls happy too." 

"Are you referring to Yuno or Aria?" 

"Well, yeah, pretty much."

I had been pretending not to notice, but when someone is constantly stealing glances at you with an incredibly envious look while you're interacting with Maya and Cattleya, it's kind of impossible not to notice! Sharon let out a soft chuckle.

"I honestly cannot tell whether you are being faithful or completely unfaithful."

It was the first time I had ever seen Sharon smile. She always wore a polite, practiced smile, but I could tell that this one was completely genuine.

"That's the first time I've seen your real smile. It's really cute."

Sharon's face turned completely red.

"You really shouldn't say things like that so easily. But... thank you for the compliment. Also, you don't need to address me with honorifics anymore. You can just call me by my name without any titles, just like everyone else does. My own formal way of speaking is just an old habit I can't seem to break, so please do not mind it."

When someone who is practically worshiped as a living deity tells you to drop the honorifics, you don't really have a choice but to oblige!

"Alright. Sharon, I look forward to working with you from now on."

"Yes, I look forward to working with you as well."

After my conversation with Sharon, I headed over to Maya's room. I knocked on the door, and after hearing Maya's voice telling me to come in, I opened it and found Cattleya inside as well. Since they had become friends, it wasn't weird for her to be hanging out in her room. The real issue, however, was what the two of them were wearing. Maya was dressed in a maid uniform, while Cattleya was wearing a school uniform.

"What's with the outfits?" 

"I've always thought the maid uniform looked super cute, so I just wanted to try wearing it." 

"The same goes for Cattleya. How do we look?" 

".....They suit you perfectly. You look incredibly cute....."

I completely failed to anticipate that these two would deploy this kind of absolute violence against me. The moment my lower half caught sight of them, it blew past its absolute limit. I yanked down my pants and underwear, exposing my rigidly erect meat rod to Cattleya and Maya.

"Cattleya, Maya, it's time for your punishment.... Here we go...." 

""Yes 💖""

Our break can officially start tomorrow! When they go to this much trouble to prepare for you, it would be downright rude not to indulge them, wouldn't it?
