#9/11, the grammar error and typos are all missocided by a passerby grammar Nazi Leekt222. Thank you!


We decided to head into the mountain bandit lair tomorrow and adjourn our meeting. Monica-san and the others agreed to postpone our ‘appreciation party’ until we safely complete our quest.

I will go out for all day tomorrow so I need to make some excuses for my mom. The standard lies would be like [playing in Monica-san’s house], [playing in Sera-san’s house], or [playing in Meruone-san’s house] one of the three.

I don’t tell my same age friend about me partying together with Monica-san and the other. Sometime Deen would privately go out to the forest to train himself by defeating monsters and I sometime would join him for fun but It would be difficult to hide the fact that I am receiving quest and doing them if I tell it to him so me and Deen going together to the forest is just something that we do privately. Not for doing quest, just a private subjugation. After all, the danger level around Mizell forest is too low. There are only weak monsters spawning there now.

In case of Sera-san and Meruone-san, they are just like Monica-san who knows about my current situation. They will help me hide my current whereabout if I ask their help. There are also times when they do invite me to play in their place so I would really go and play in their place. Just to make sure, I don’t do anything weird when playing in their place. I spend my time there in a healthy way. Well, ‘healthy’ according to me might be ‘slightly skewed’ from the normal common sense though.
(Eros: I see, drinking milk is healthy so it is a ‘healthy’ way to spend time)


“So you are going to play to Monica’s house tomorrow? It seems that mommy has to go to her house to show mommy’s gratitude”

“It’s alright mommy, I have been helping Monica-neechan hunting so she is inviting me show her gratitude for me”


In my house, our family is currently having our dinner now while I explain my situation to mother. Being the only one who cooks in the family for a long time, mother’s cooking skill finally passed level 50. Years of cooking made her level up considerably in which also made my father pleased.


“Hiro-chan, are you going to Monica-neechan place again? Why don’t you come to Riona’s home instead......”

“I’m sorry but I’ll go next time okay. Tell Sarasa-san that I will come to play soon”

“Listening to Hiroto’s word made me feel that he is even more used in treating the ladies compared to me when I was younger...... Don’t you think so mommy?”

“Aren’t you also the same? Like that time at the banquet party in the royal palace, who was it that is surrounded by girl anywhere he goes?”

“Tha-that...... can be said to be my youthful indiscretion or maybe because I just got promoted so I become the center of attention...... anyway nothing weird happened because my heart is only for you, Remilia”


Sarasa-san is currently in her home but she visits our house frequently together with Riona. Her activities these days consist of learning weaving from my mother or helping Neris-san with her apothecary skill, well, those are mostly jobs that she can do without leaving the town.

Everytime Riona comes to play, she would mostly help look after Sonia. That’s why Sonia is attached to her the most after mother and the next in ranking would be me. Even if I’m only the third, she still likes me quite a lot though.



“Oniitan, Sonia too wants to pway!”


She recently celebrated her 3rd birthday but her speech is still unclear. Even so, her intelligence growth is quite astounding as she doesn’t have any trouble in communicating with other people.

Just as father Ricardo expected, Sonia grows up fast like me or maybe even faster. Parents who have children in the same age always praise Sonia as a genius.

But in my eyes, she will always be my cute little sister. Well, even if my growth still haven’t reached the peak, my little sister height is still only reached to 1 meter high. She is restless and loves to run around places but she also falls down a lot because of her activeness so when I am looking after her, I need to keep up my guard to stop her from injuring herself.

Sonia’s hair is braided into 2 part, the so called twin tail. In japan, it was actually called two tails at first but I already have deep familiarity with twin tail first. Her hair color is the same flaxen colored as my mother and when they stand beside each other, she looks like the younger version of my mother. That’s maybe why father have such a sweet spot for her that even he himself can’t help it.


“When Sonia grows bigger, I will naturally bring you together”

“Stupid Oniitan! Sonia wants to go now! Stupid stupid stupid!”


My little sister used to be a quiet girl when she was a baby but as she grow bigger and started to become aware of things, she becomes quite a selfish little princess. If I don’t give what she wants then she will immediately hop off from her chair to rush at me and hit me continuously with those little hands of hers. Well, it doesn’t hurt at all so I just let her do her things and when I think she gets enough of it, I would usually hold her up and let her sit in my lap.


“...... Oniitan, take Sonia please?”


If I do it like this she will immediately turn docile. Everyone just smile watching her sudden mood swings. Riona also look at us with an expression saying [good for you] to Sonia but at the same time, she also puts her index finger on her lips expressing that she is also envious with the treatment Sonia gets. It was an old habit of hers but with her extraordinary charm, that simple gesture looks really erotic somehow. I don’t know how I should point that out to her.


“Sonia-chan, after you grown up a bit more, let’s play out together okay? You can also play at my house you know?”

“Yay! Together with Riona-oneechan!”

“Hahaha, Hiroto seems to be in great demand. After having plan to visit Monica’s house tomorrow you will go to Riona-chan’s next? Don’t you dare to forget looking after Sonia too okay?”

“Wai, dad! I said that I will in the near future......”

“Hiroto, don’t bully Riona-chan like that. Just say that you will go play to her house next sunday”


At times like this, Mother Remilia will mostly side with Riona and Sonia. Father is not necessarily siding with me either or rather, he would even happily pour more oil to the fire from time to time. I think I would enter my rebellious phase sooner if this keeps up but then I realize that I am just not being honest with myself.

If I have to evaluate myself, I think that I have the tendency to like older woman but honestly, Riona is just too beautiful. Even worse, her hair which had grow long nowadays is tied to the side that made her looks even more similar to Hina in the previous life. Riona’s hairstyle was actually done by Sarasa-san which made me feel even more surprised because there’s actually a similar hair style in this world.

Her clothes also evolved from the simple one that is meant for children to the fancy clothes meant for girls with intricate design in it. It was because Stella-ne started to pick clothes for her. Padoul company handles various kinds of goods but in Mizell, they focus their attention to the clothing market by mainly exporting the latest fashion goods from the capital city to this rural village. This isekai world even has specialist in fashion and clothing, like a tailor that makes stylish hand made-clothes. Of course the mass produced version also exist here.

Elena-san bough the cloths that mother had weaved for her own company, then process it into clothes. Mother’s weaved cloths even got exported to the capital as those cloths have stable quality so they are quite popular actually. Thanks to that, mother could easily focus with her work and when she need help with her work, she would ask Sarasa-san for help.


“Oniitan, what happen?”

“N...... No, it’s nothing. We should finish our dinner soon so go back to your seat ok, Sonia?”

“Un!”


Sonia leaps from my lap like a rabbit then climbs up her own seat before safely sitting back up there. Mother and Father used to hold her up to help her sit in her seat but now she can safely do that by herself.


“Papa, Mama, I want bathy bath with Oniitan”

“Aa, daddy doesn’t mind you know. But then again Sonia, why not take a bathy bath with daddy once in awhile? Hiroto also won’t take a bath with daddy so daddy feels lonely you know. Daddy honestly feel sad about it”

“Dear, you are really...... You don’t need to worry about it you know. How about just go and join them? It's good enough right?”

“Papa is sheduled tomorrow. Today is sheduled for oniitan and riona oneechan!” [Eros: intended mistake]

“Yup, together with Riona...... wait”


I reflexively parroted after Sonia until I suddenly realize. My little sister is actually rushing ahead into common sense minefield head first.


“...... Hiro-chan, it’s been a while right? Taking a bath together. I thought you are being shy and refused to get in together with me any longer”

“U...... N-no no, it was just a reflex just now. Just going along with the flow......”

“Hiroto, a man doesn’t take back what he once said! Don’t make too much ugly excuses and just go in together with her!”

“Dear, you are getting carried away too much...... Fufu. But then again, it’s not something bad I guess. The two of you are still a kid after all” [Eros: don’t retort it me. don’t retort]


“Oniitan, you know, Riona oneetan, you know, have small swelling in her breast” [Eros: as non native, I reached the limit for baby vocabulary orz]

“He, Hee~......”


(If those really swell that much... Ugh I really want to decline...... What should I do, me?)


“Hiroto, what kind of anticlimated reply that was? If you are a man, say something meaningful to reply!”

“D-E-A-R?”

“Tha-that’s just a joke! Mommy, don’t look at me with such scary eyes please”


Mother Remilia is glaring at father which made him scared. The both of you are still young aren’t you? ...... Wait, that’s not what I'm supposed to comment.


“...... I-it just swell a bit you know. It’s not swell that big. it’s nothing compared to Stella oneechan”


Riona says it like that but I just pretend I didn’t hear that one. Stella-ne is going through the so-called puberty. She doesn’t give me that many private tutoring as much as she used to be. To think that she used to read books frequently to me before made me feel a bit sad.

---- Well not really. I’m not a normal kid who can pretend not knowing her reason. I have always been thinking about how to give the best response to everyone's favor towards me earnestly since my reincarnation here.


“Well, if it was smaller than Stella-ne then, it would probably be nothing I guess”

“Muu...... Hiro-chan you meanie! So you like big breast that much? Even I will become big like mother Sarasa when I grow up!”

“It’s alright Riona-chan. You know, when Sarasa-san tried to breastfed Hiroto for the first time, Hiroto was turning his face to the other way...... Dear, why are you having such a serious face when listening to this story?”

“Hearing that the neighboring madam is trying to breastfeed my son make me feel in danger. As a father, I have responsibilities to guide him into the right path...... Ouch! Ow ow ow, my ears. Please stop with the ears mommy, my ear is getting stretched!”

“You must have imagined something right?! Getting lovestruck to the neighboring madam in front of the kids like this...... REPENT!”

“Ow ow ow ow, Hi-Hiroto, Sonia, help me......!”


Sonia once again hops away from her seat then go to where father is. When she get close to father, she give him a punch in the knee instead then looking up to her suffering father.


“Papa, making mama mad. Not cool”

“Nuaahg...... M-my dignity as father......! Sonia, daddy just, daddy just......!”


Seeing father lamenting like that made me laugh unintentionally. Riona whose face is flushed from embarrassment is also laughing after watching the scene.

Actually, father is also someone who is respected in Mizell town when he gets serious...... But in his own house, he just can’t win when faced with his wife and daughter. Imagining that I might just be like father when I have my own family in the future, I can’t help but feel sympathetic with him.


◇◆◇


Before father goes to heat up bath water he says jokingly: “It seems like Hains is having a hard time with his wife. Is Hiroto perhaps the cause? Haha, that should be impossible right?”

But I can’t treat that as just a joke. Moreover after I know the truth behind their relation now. After all, I am the culprit that took Sarasa-san’s slave collar off then put it on Riona after that.


“Ah...... Hiro-chan, don’t turn this way just yet”

“No! Oniitan should look now!”

“Ge-geez I know already...... I don’t have any intention of peeping okay?”


Even when she take off her clothes, Riona still won’t take her slave collar off. I just wanted to check whether she still wears the collar or not when I turn my head to take a peek but it resulted in me getting a combination attack from Riona and my sister.

Riona is taking of Sonia's clothes first and also take off the ribbon that tied Sonia’s hair. Sonia’s hair length is only neck long and it is a bit curly since it was being tied all the time.

Although she is my little sister, I can tell that she will become a total babe in the future. It might be raising her stock too much because she is family but just look at her. She has cute round eyes, has long eyelashes, and her teeth is perfectly set. Many of the food in this isekai world is good for the teeth and sugar is something rare here so everyone in the family have good teeth free from caries. Father once clench his teeth too forcefully until some molars broke but there’s also healer specialized in dental care in this isekai so those molars could be cured to an extent.
[Eros: I want to retort soo bad...]


“...... Hiro-chan, it’s okay to turn now. Slowly okay?”

“N...... A,aa”


How should I express it...... This feeling should be the same as when I take a bath together with Hina when we were 8 years old back in earth right? No, the me at elementary grade back then should not be thinking about anything weird.
[Eros: Author sure is forgot about isekai children’s growth acceleration]

In this isekai world, there are cloth that have good water absorption function that is used as towel. Riona used that ‘towel’ to completely cover her front. But because she is also hiding her lower body, the small ‘towel’ couldn’t entirely cover her breast so I could see the base area where the slope started to gently rises.


(...... I am not a lolicon. That’s right! This feeling is that ‘wanting to protect’ kind. This is the skill that is not listed in status, the awakening of [Paternal] skill)


To me who have already seen Riona in her birthday suit, even if that was from a few years ago, won’t abruptly change my impression towards her. My spirit age if added with my age before my reincarnation is already 24 years old. The age difference between me and the 8 years old Riona is 16 years. This is bad, isn’t that the same number as the years I spent my last life in earth? Well, that doesn’t have any relation with anything though.


“Oniitan, don’t look at weird places! Look at Sonia!”

“O, ou......”


Sonia then come close and hug me but as she is still 3 years old on top of being my little sister, even when our skin glued close to each other, my soul stays unperturbed. But the truth about Riona’s ‘starting to swell big’ breast together with the immoral feeling being in a bath together with her are harshly torturing the soft spot in my heart.


(Starting to swell...... Does that mean she also have [Maternity] skill now? ...... No, no that’s not good, I will never check that out)


“Hi-Hiro-chan...... what happen? Why are you being silent like that? If you don’t say anything while staring like that...... I will be embarrassed......”

“N-no, wait...... I-I do-don’t really mind it at all, I am no-not interested at all......”

“...... Is it better to enter a bath... with my mother instead?”


(Why did you ask such an extreme question at such situation? ...... are you telling me to die? ......)


Riona has grown into a young girl and she starts to be able to recognize the subtleties in relationship. She seems to vaguely feel the difference in how Sarasa-san treat me.

I have not received any breast feeding from Sarasa-san nowadays but, I know that she still gives me signals of expectation from time to time. At such time, Riona would look at me with sad eyes...... At first, I thought that there’s no way a 8 year old girl like her know about jealousy but after she keep on doing that a few times more, I could not dismiss that as just a misunderstanding.


(What should I do so I won’t hurt Riona? ...... Ma-maybe being honest about it is the best way......?)


I want to use the [Option] function from my negotiation skill but my mana would be used up activating that. Drinking a mana potion in the bath would only make me look weird. If that skill is more user-friendly then it would become quite the dependable skill. Too bad.

I resolve myself and face toward Riona who is starting to get teary eyed. I make my tone sounds as gentle as I could be then says:


“That’s not what I mean so don’t worry about it. You see, I don’t really mind much about be-breast size”
