The baths in the Anastasia family mansion are many times larger and much more beautifully decorated than the baths I had in my previous life.
And because it has hot water, it’s a great place to relax, just as it was in my previous life,…… originally.
Again, originally.
I am in the bathroom now, waiting for Charlotte san to come into the bathroom later.
There was no way I could relax in such a state, and I was just struggling to keep my heartbeat down.
I was just now beginning to become aware of my romantic feelings for Charlotte san,……, and I really don’t know if my heart would be able to keep up with the beating of Charlotte san in the bath.
“But I’m not stupid either,…… I’ll at least take precautions.”
I applied my water magic to the hot water coming out of the bathtub and made it mist up all at once.
As a result, even if Charlotte san were to take a bath, her body would probably be wrapped in a towel in the first place, so you would hardly be able to see her body, and even if you could see it, there would be so much water that had evaporated.
“The rest is a battle of the mind.”
I concentrated on keeping my mind as composed as possible until Charlotte-san came into the bathroom,──── and finally, Charlotte-san came into the bathroom.
“…… huh? I don’t know if it’s the steam, but it’s like a fog and I can’t see anything in front of me.”
“Oh, ah,…… sometimes it breaks down, doesn’t it?”
I looked at Charlotte-san, and as I had estimated, I could not see her firmly enough to see her face, so the visual stimulus was completely eliminated for the time being.
I’ve completely let down my guard against visual stimuli, and now it’s just a battle with my mind. ────
“I see, but I don’t want to lose my ability to see Al, so I’ll lose it.”
“Eh?”
With that said, Charlotte san lightly used wind magic to reap its vaporized water.
I was completely alerted to visual stimuli ──── , and I could see Charlotte san’s figure with a towel in one hand, hiding only the parts that should not be visible from the chest down.
Even though I say that she’s hiding parts that shouldn’t be seen, it doesn’t mean she’s wearing a towel around her body, so if the angle changes, I’ll probably see it, and above all, there was a towel covering her fair-skinned arms and legs, as well as her figure. However, since I understood it regardless, the visual stimulation was amazing…I’ll say it again, I had let go of my wariness about visual stimulation, and I was suddenly stimulated by it.
And at the same time, I say.
“Charlotte-san! Why aren’t you wearing a towel around your body!”
“I didn’t think I needed to, but you do have a towel, don’t you?’”
With that, Charlotte-san walked up behind me.
There is a mirror in front of us, but I was a little relieved that Charlotte-san’s body was hidden by mine and not reflected in the mirror……. But then Charlotte-san said something shocking.
‘”Well, I’ll wash Al’s body for you now.”
“Eh ……!? I can at least wash my own body, so please go wash in front of the other mirror while I do that, Charlotte san.”
“No, Al is very important to me and I want to wash him properly.”
“Does it have anything to do with being important?”
“There is, because I don’t think this way about anyone but Aruto kun and Al, though you might think I’m not credible when I think this about two people……”
Charlotte san continued, looking a little happier as the corners of her mouth turned up a little.
“You know. I was starting to hate myself a while ago…I had decided that I would only like Aruto-kun, but I ended up liking Al as well… …I thought I only liked Aruto-kun, but then as soon as an Al who looked like Aruto-kun appeared, wouldn’t it be horrible? So, I really felt like I was going to hate myself… But… I’m convinced today.”
“Convinced……? What?”
“That Al is Aruto kun ……”
“……!”
I was surprised by that statement, but I tried my best not to show it and continued to listen to Charlotte san’s story.
“But even if I say I’m certain, it’s just me thinking that way, and even though I can say it’s 90% certain, I can’t say it’s absolutely true. That’s something that only Al knows… Therefore, I will wait for Al to reveal his true identity, and until then, I will treat him not as if he were an existing person, but as an Al that only exists in this world.”
“I see……”
“Yeah—But if Al really is Aruto kun, I don’t understand why he wants to hide it even though I wants to express my love to you so quickly. The reason I invited you was to convey my love to you.”
After saying that, Charlotte-san hugged me and said.
“Hey, Aruto-kun,…… if you are there, let me know anytime,…… because I will always love you, Aruto-kun.”
“…. Charlotte san”
I have a lot to say.
But the first thing I have to say is—
“Don’t hug me with no towel or anything wrapped around you! It’s not just the feeling, …… it’s all kinds of bad!”
“Fufu Regardless of whether you are Aruto kun or not, I now know that he has no experience with women either in his previous life or in this one.”
“Charlotte san. ────”
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding! I’ve never done anything like that in my past or present life, and I have no intention of doing it with anyone other than Aruto kun. …… If Al is Aruto kun, then we’ll slowly nurture our love every day together.”
“Just! Get away from me as soon as possible!”
“But if I get off your back, you’ll see my body and I’ll be embarrassed, so I can’t get off your back~”
“I’m sure you don’t think that!”
Me and Charlotte-san had that argument for about ten minutes until we washed up, and I ended up being hugged by Charlotte-san for that whole ten minutes.
It’s hard to say,──── but from this moment on, I felt that the relationship between me and Charlotte-san was moving away from the relationship of duchess and butler to something closer,…… yes, like the relationship between me and Reijo-san in a previous life.
