Episode 94: Elmia’s Bedroom
I arrived in front of Elmia’s room.
(Now, what should I do?)
It’s been a while since I parted ways with Elmia in Bangwall.
Honestly, Elmia is already my woman, so wouldn’t it be okay to embrace her?
(…No, that would be bad.)
Elmia has a pure heart, like a little bird pecking at food, and she blushes with just a kiss.
She has a certain naturalness, or rather, a sacredness about her, so psychologically, it’s hard to lay a hand on her.
The reason I was able to get intimate with Luna so quickly was simply because of the age difference, and because Luna seemed like the type who had been watching erotic videos since she was little, or rather, I felt like I could embrace her without hesitation.
Even now, when I remember, she was a good woman who could get me fully erect in an instant.
Elmia should also grow into a moderately lewd and good woman like Luna in a year or two.
“Excuse me, Elmia-sama.”
“…”
My beloved younger sister, Elmia, was a beautiful girl with long white hair.
As always, she was wearing a black miniskirt, long socks, and a white robe with gold thread embroidery that reached below her knees.
I wonder why she hasn’t changed into her nightgown yet.
“Elmia-sama?”
“…Hey, Sharka, we’re finally able to reunite after a month and a half, you know? Why are you so late in coming?”
“I apologize, my work took longer than expected…”
I told a smooth lie.
I couldn’t possibly say that I had forgotten.
“Hmph, so work is more important than me?”
Elmia, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, was being standoffish.
I broke out in a cold sweat at the line that I had heard somewhere before.
“Of course not. I’m happy to see you, Elmia-sama.”
“…I wonder. When we were in Bangwall, you didn’t reply to my letters very often, and it seems like Sharka doesn’t understand how worried I was?”
While I was in Bangwall, I received many letters from Elmia, but they were completely like those of a clingy girlfriend.
I see, this is a serious case.
Could it be that the time we couldn’t meet made her like this?
“I’m sorry for making you worry. From now on, we’ll be together forever, okay?”
“Ufufu… Ahem, that’s right. Sharka and I are going to be engaged, after all.”
I could see a crack in her facade already.
I’ll try to unravel it little by little with this feeling.
“Well, whatever. Then I’d like you to report everything to me right away. Who did you meet every day for the past month and a half, and what were you doing? Tell me everything in detail, without any lies, Sharka?”
So saying, Elmia wore a bewitching smile.
I could feel an indescribable darkness in the depths of her eyes.
I gulped and began to speak haltingly.
◇◇◇◇
“Most of what you said is the same as what I heard from Father. I’m really glad you’re safe, Sharka. To think that Naia was in league with the Hero of the Union… I can’t believe it…”
(Oh?)
After listening to my story silently for a while, Elmia began to doze off.
“Elmia-sama?”
“…Huh, it’s nothing. Continue.”
It seems like she’s accumulated a lot of fatigue.
If it were the usual Elmia, it might have been her bedtime.
She’s entered a growth spurt, and her body is demanding sleep.
“Wouldn’t it be better for you to rest?”
“I’m fine. More than that, I’m curious about what happened while Father was unconscious, you know?”
“Hmm?”
Is she talking about when Luna let me stay at the State Guest House?
This is bad.
“Sharka, you had such a gentle expression when you said Luna’s name. And you didn’t scold her at all, so could it be that you have some special feelings for her…?”
Giku!
“Haha, no way. I told Luna off with harsh words. I completely crushed her (in bed)!”
“…”
I let out a high-pitched, hollow laugh and spoke with exaggerated gestures.
It was obvious that I was being suspicious.
Elmia’s eyes narrowed.
(This is bad!)
I have to avoid Elmia finding out about my actions with Luna at all costs.
“Believe me… Elmia. The only one I love is Elmia.”
I took Elmia’s hand and spoke with a serious expression.
I looked like a man desperately trying to hide his affair.
“Haa… I see. There’s no way Sharka would be infatuated with Luna, right? What am I even saying?”
“Y-yeah.”
It seems like I was able to convince her.
But in exchange, I feel like I lost something important…
Elmia stood up from the chair and sat down on the bed.
“Come here, Sharka.”
“Yes.”
I stopped in front of Elmia, who was sitting on the bed.
“Sharka, I understand that you’ve been through a lot.”
“…”
“But I think you’ve forgotten who your superior is.”
“That’s not true… My master is Elmia-sama.”
I knelt down like a knight pledging allegiance and looked up at Elmia.
Then, Elmia’s face lit up with a smile.
However, she was desperately trying to maintain her composure as a superior, so her expression became subtle.
“Ufufu. G-good, then of course you’ll listen to what I say, right?”
“Yes, if it’s something I can do.”
It’s refreshing to play the knight like this.
“Sharka, first… would you take off my socks? They’re kind of stuffy.”
So saying, Elmia crossed her legs in front of me.
Through the gap in her crossed legs, I could see the bulge of her pink cotton underwear.
(Ohh.)
My thoughts stopped.
“What’s wrong, Sharka? Your face is a little red, you know?”
Elmia smiled like a little devil.
But she was also blushing, so it was a boomerang.
“No… I understand.”
I placed my hands on Elmia’s socks, which reached above her knees.
“Suu…”
Suddenly, I reflexively inhaled through my nose.
A waft of Elmia’s stimulating scent filled my nostrils.
There was a slight scent of Princess White Lily perfume, but it was fading now.
The majority of it was Elmia’s original scent, her body odor.
“Fufu, that tickles.”
I’m just a sock-removing master.
As I peeled them off Elmia’s soft skin, her innocent bare feet were revealed.
Elmia’s socks, which had absorbed the day’s sweat, smelled a little, as expected.
But if I thought that they belonged to the lovely girl in front of me, it was just a reward.
I carefully stretched out the removed socks on my lap and placed them on the floor.
“Now, please do the other side.”
“Understood.”
Elmia seemed to have gotten a taste for it, and she ordered me in a haughty tone.
I removed her socks in the same way.
Both Elmia and I were intoxicated by this immoral “game.”
“I’m starting to feel hot, Sharka, can you help me change?”
“Eh?”
So saying, Elmia began to fan her clothes.
At the end of her gaze were a folded, thin summer negligee and hot pants.
“Wouldn’t it be better to have your attendant do that?”
“I don’t want to, I want Sharka to do everything.”
Elmia said something like a spoiled girl.
“Ehh…”
“What? Do you have a problem with that? It was hard during the Ceasefire Talks, you know? The Court of Justice kept bothering me, and the townspeople started planning my brother’s triumphal parade without permission, and Camilla was nagging me, so it’s okay for me to be selfish today, right?”
I see, Elmia had been holding back a lot of stress.
That’s understandable, since she had been running the territory alone while Father was in Bangwall.
She must have grown a lot during this period, and I feel a sense of strength from her.
But the fact that her selfishness is to have me help her change is kind of cute.
“I understand.”
I picked up Elmia’s negligee hot pants.
They were cute with frills.
I spread out the torso part and put it over Elmia’s legs.
As I smoothly pulled them up to her knees, Elmia bent her knees in a sitting position.
Then, her miniskirt fluttered up, and Elmia’s pink underwear became completely visible.
I could feel the blood flowing to my lower body.
“…Brother?”
Elmia tilted her head at me, who had stopped moving.
(Hmm? This is…)
Could it be that Elmia doesn’t realize that her underwear is being seen?
If so, she’s too defenseless.
There’s a possibility that the men in the castle are constantly peeking at Elmia’s panties.
I should point this out as her brother.
“Elmia, your panties are completely visible.”
“Eh? Oh, yes, they are.”
“Eh, no, they’re completely visible, you know? Aren’t you embarrassed?”
“U… but you’re my brother, so it’s okay if you see them.”
Should I be happy about this?
Is it simply okay because I’m family, or is it okay because I’m her fiancé?
In any case, it’s not the reaction I was looking for.
I wanted the classic “Kyaa! Brother, you’re such a pervert!”
Though I wasn’t entirely convinced, I pulled the hot pants up smoothly.
As I did, I brushed against Elmia’s bottom.
–Of course, it was unavoidable.
Yeah, she’s still a bit young.
A little more time, and a bountiful, fleshy fruit will ripen.
“Kya! …Brother? Did you just touch my bottom? …Brother, you’re such a pervert.”
“……”
So, her sensors work properly in that area, huh?
…Incomprehensible.
“Next, I’ll take off your top.”
“Yes, please.”
First, I remove Elmia’s robe.
This is still fine.
Next, I unbutton Elmia’s blouse.
This is where my reason is tested.
When I take off the blouse, about eighty percent of her snow-white skin is exposed.
She seems to be wearing a brassiere that has recently started being made in the city.
Taking off her clothes made Elmia’s scent stronger.
“Sniff…”
I inhale through my nose.
“…Brother, um, I’m embarrassed.”
Elmia says, trying to cover her front with her arms.
Her developing breasts are pushed together in the center.
They say that if you push them together and lift them up, they look decent, but Elmia’s clearly has potential.
(Hmm, I’ve seen something good.)
I burn that sight into my eyes and slip the negligee over Elmia’s head.
Now Elmia can sleep anytime.
If we keep talking, there won’t be time for a bath.
I guess we can take one tomorrow morning.
“Elmia-sama, then I’ll be going now…”
“Where are you going, Sharka?”
I thought I would retreat, but Elmia stopped me.
“But, shouldn’t you be going to bed soon…”
“Yes, that’s right. But today, um… Sha, Sharka will sleep with me.”
Elmia says, seeming to have mustered her courage.
“Huh?”
“You said you’d listen to my whims today, didn’t you?”
“…Well, yes, but for unmarried men and women to sleep together is…”
I say something unusually serious.
After all, we’re about to do something that’s generally not okay.
I have to say something about appearances to keep the balance.
“What, are you worried about that, Brother? We’re going to be husband and wife, aren’t we? There’s no such thing as too early or too late to sleep together.”
Elmia declares firmly.
Husband and wife, husband and wife, huh… with this beautiful girl?
Honestly, it doesn’t feel real at all.
However, if I become husband and wife with Elmia, who has this much drive, I’m likely to be henpecked in the future.
“I understand… I’ll sleep with you.”
“Fufun, that’s all I wanted.”
So, I asked Nicoletta, who was waiting outside, to bring me my nightwear.
By the way, neither Elmia nor I have taken a bath today.
I don’t mind, but I wonder what Elmia thinks…
“Sniff… haa… Brother’s scent.”
As soon as she gets into bed, Elmia buries her face in my chest.
Then she brings her nose close to my armpit and sniffs, a blissful expression on her face.
(In the end, we’re just similar siblings, huh?)
My worries were unfounded, so I hug Elmia without hesitation.
Elmia is probably well-developed for her age.
She has a feminine softness that my male body doesn’t.
“Haa… Brother…”
Elmia lets out a sweet voice.
Her breath is hot on my neck.
It’s strange that the master, who was so proud just a moment ago, is suddenly acting so affectionate.
Suddenly, I think about when I become the head of the family.
I might not be able to see Elmia’s triumphant expression from earlier.
On the other hand, I can monopolize this sweet, beautiful girl in my hands like this, just like in the old days.
(What do I want to do…)
What does it mean for me, who has power, to be at the top…?
I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.
For example, the impression of the head of the family is completely different from the perspective of subordinates like Getrude.
Elmia is said to be the spitting image of Princess Illumina of the Ortenos Royal Family, and becoming the head of the family has a significant symbolic meaning.
The disadvantage is that we might be seen as the standard-bearer for the restoration of the kingdom from the west.
We didn’t have to worry about that as long as we were at war with Naia, but now that we’ve reached a ceasefire, the perception might be different.
On the other hand, what if I become the head of the family?
My achievements are sufficient, and it’s gradually becoming known that my combat power is also sufficient.
Unlike Elmia, everyone will expect my power itself.
The power to mow down all the surrounding enemies and seize territory.
However, if we destroy the enemies, even more enemies will appear.
An endless loop awaits.
“Brother, you have a scary look on your face.”
“Ah, sorry.”
I pat Elmia’s head.
“Camilla is coming tomorrow, right?”
“I heard…”
“I see… You don’t like Camilla, do you, Brother? I’ll accompany you.”
“Eh?”
“What, you don’t want me to?”
Mother and Elmia can’t be said to get along well.
“No way… Just, please be quiet.”
“Yes, I won’t do anything to spoil the reunion of parent and child.”
Elmia says, entangling her legs with mine.
My lower abdomen reflexively swells, but I bend my waist to hide it.
“I hope we can go to the academy together soon.”
“If I remember correctly, we have to leave here in two weeks, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. The enrollment period for the academy is until the end of September. I don’t know what kind of punishment we’ll receive if we break that rule.”
This is happening just as we’ve finally returned to Ortenatris.
I have a lot of plans scheduled for tomorrow and beyond, but since the deadline is set, I have to digest them at a rapid pace.
It’s certainly exciting to be able to spend three years at the academy with Elmia, but there are endless worries.
Elmia and I talked in bed, maintaining our purity, and before we knew it, we had fallen asleep.
