Chapter 1019 – Afterword ─ Arisa Talks About Old Times
“But Your Majesty.”
Hedone emptied the cup in her hand and spoke her words.
The three of them, Venus, Hedone, and Arisa, were having a very leisurely dinner at the imperial palace.
The dishes that Ceres showed off his skills and that even the other chefs loved were so exquisite that it would be better to call them beautiful rather than delicious.
Since Hedone, who had enjoyed such a delicious meal, suddenly spoke to her, Arisa and Venus’ eyes naturally turned to her.
“Surprisingly, you didn’t do anything during your academy days?”
“… Wow!”
Arisa let out a loud laugh and shrugged her shoulders while covering her mouth with her left hand.
“Well, unexpectedly! What on earth is unexpected?!”
“But I know that Your Majesty is the kind of person who will definitely get a beautiful flower if there is one in front of her, right?”
“What on earth is that…”
Venus twitched her lips, but no words came out.
Since he had the precognitive dream, Hedone had logic in his words because Venus had eaten all the women he could eat, including Arisa, and had hugged all the women he could hug.
“Phew… Kekekeuk… Kekekeuk…”
Even Arisa, the person involved in the story, couldn’t control her laughter.
She was laughing so hard that her face turned red, and her stomach felt dizzy. She covered her body with both hands.
“Venus… Huh… Haha… Definitely… Huh… Surprisingly, he didn’t touch me.”
“Arisa! Don’t say anything that might misunderstand Hedone!”
“What, haha… I’m saying it was a misunderstanding. You were extremely pervert.”
Arisa playfully tapped Venus’ shoulder with her right hand while wiping her mouth with her handkerchief.
“Who, who said pervert?!”
“No, Venus, are you really going to deny it? I heard you were amazing?”
“It has never been so great…!”
“No~ To be honest, it’s because Ceres-san put up a barrier, so you don’t know that we have dicks on the line. Are you saying your every move was extremely perverted?”
Venus’ face turned red, but he couldn’t say anything as he pursed his lips and purred.
“That’s… Ugh, that’s it.”
“Oh my. It looks like there are some pretty interesting episodes?”
Because it was Hedone who spoke without much expectation, she smiled naturally.
“Isn’t it just an episode? Venus was really perverted. Well, honestly at the time… I just thought she was very interested in homosexuality.”
“Uuuuu…”
Venus, shaking, took a knife and fork and stabbed the piece of meat.
“I am ordinary…”
“Honestly, since we’re girls, you’ve been using the thought that it’s okay, so you’ve openly touched my butt and breasts, right?”
At Arisa’s words, Venus closed her mouth tightly.
“Did you really do such a shameless thing?”
“What, shameless… It’s just playful between girls…”
“Hey, you really mean that. Venus? Really? Really?”
Arisa coughed loudly and tapped Venus’ leg.
“Arisa! Stop!”
“You know, listen. Hedon? You mean, ever since Venus shared the same room with me? We bathed together? We even took showers together when we were kids.”
“Ahh…”
Venus covered his face with his left hand and rubbed it.
“Oh my… Shall we take a bath or shower together?”
“Yes, the Academy’s dormitory is not extremely large. Of course, the room used by princess Venus was quite large, right? But in the end, it can’t be compared to living in the imperial palace or the villa itself, right?”
“That’s right. Even by Arisa’s standards, there would be inconveniences that are incomparable to living comfortably in a mansion.”
Hedone thought a little about her academy days and burst into laughter.
“If I had used the academy’s dormitory, I would have thought it was quite spacious. Putting my impressions aside… Why did you take a shower together?”
Hedone naturally pointed to herself.
“The facilities in the Holympia Mountains where I was located had communal shower rooms because it was not possible to create such facilities for each individual room.”
“There is no great reason.”
Arisa shrugged her shoulders.
“I just want to let you know that at the academy, both the commoners who entered with good grades and the princess who will be responsible for the future of the empire have the same bathroom, the same shower, and the same bath.”
“Are we allowing people to physically experience that they are equal in some way?”
“There may have been that intention, but… In reality, it’s because of time. If Venus goes in and washes for an hour, and I go in and wash for an hour, then there are two hours of breakfast time, right? That doesn’t make sense.”
Arisa grinned and laughed as she spoke.
“And showering when I was young… I know it sounds like aristocratic nonsense, but I didn’t know how to do it.”
“Haha… It’s a situation where Ceres naturally listens to Arisa’s help. She takes care of various things.”
“If you think about it now, do you think Mr. Ceres was careful not to let Venus touch me because I am so good to eat?”
At Arisa’s words, Venus’ face turned red, and he coughed.
“Don’t say strange things. How could I do something like that to my friend?”
“Oh my God, Your Majesty~ Are you really saying that? As soon as I had the precognitive dream, he came to the magic tower…”
“Ugh! Ah, Arisa! Didn’t I say I was sorry…?!”
“Doing bad things doesn’t change.~”
Arisa giggled and rested her chin on her hand.
“But… When I think about it now, Venus held back well.”
“Hehe, your Majesty was a good person in the end, right?”
“Honestly, he could have touched me as much as he wanted. We were even sharing the same room. If he wanted to, he could have played with me…”
“W-what are you talking about? Playing with it…”
Venus coughed, covering her mouth with her hand.
“No, I was really nervous at first. Oh, I thought Arisa Hecati’s life was ending at this point? I thought that way at a young age.”
Rocking her feet back and forth, Arisa began to recall her academy days.
“Ah… But now that I think about it, there was a time when it was a bit dangerous.”
“What happened?”
“It wasn’t Venus’ fault. To be precise, it was my fault…”
Arisa cleared her throat once and tried to speak, but Venus had so many ‘thoughts’ in her mind that she could only look at Arisa with her tense eyes.
“The first time me and Venus met was in the elementary school at the academy, right? This is a story from a certain time… It was a story of an extremely hot day. So…”
Arisa, lost in her memories, sipped her wine and started talking.
* * * * * *
“Thank you both for your hard work today.”
Ceres, wearing a neat maid uniform, looked at Venus and Arisa who had just entered her room and bowed.
“No. Ceres-nim, you worked hard today too.”
“Didn’t Ceres have a hard time wearing a hot maid’s uniform even though today is summer?”
Venus and Arisa were wearing academy uniforms. The two, wearing uniforms with an appropriate combination of white and black, walked very naturally to their ‘areas’ divided into left and right.
I wondered if there was some kind of ‘zone’ between them sharing the same room, but there was a huge curtain drawn between Venus and Arisa’s beds. Thanks to this, the two were able to live somewhat separate lives while sharing the same room.
The curtain was the wisdom of Ceres. From Arisa’s perspective, it was a good idea because she felt like she had a ‘private space’ even though she was sharing the same room. Because it was a curtain rather than a stark partition, it felt like a type of interior decoration.
“Isn’t it too hot today?”
As soon as Arisa’s voice was heard, Venus swallowed her saliva and leaned out beyond the curtain.
Arisa must have not expected Venus to act like that, but she had unbuttoned the blouse she was wearing and had already taken off her skirt, so her lower body, wearing black panties, was clearly visible.
“The weather was definitely too hot today. If it weren’t for the magic tools that help with cooling, I wouldn’t have been able to attend class properly.”
“It’s so hot that it’s really magic time today…”
Just as she was about to take off her blouse with all the buttons undone, Arisa made eye contact with Venus.
“Ugh… Pervert. What are you looking at?”
“I’m not looking at something. I’m talking to you, aren’t I?”
“There is no need to see each other’s faces when talking while taking off your clothes, right? Your Highness?”
Arisa made a noise as if she was dumbfounded, but she grabbed her blouse, took it off, and took off the stockings on her legs.
“Sister Ceres~ I’m going to go in first and take a shower~”
Arisa, who naturally wore her underwear in front of Venus, walked slowly into the bathroom in her room without feeling her explicit gaze.
“I understand. Can I bring you some clothes to change into?”
“Yes, please do me a favor. Oh, and the strands on my stockings are coming out…”
Arisa, who spoke normally in her underwear in front of Venus, was such a delicious-looking prey.
“Ugh…”
The presence in front of Venus, who was still young and immature, was so erotic that Venus had to close his eyes tightly and turn his head while pressing his lower abdomen with both hands.
‘Every time Arisa takes off her clothes like that, I have a hard time, but I don’t know if I should be thankful… Ugh! I can’t imagine what kind of expression he would make if he found out I had a dick attached to him, so it’s just painful…!’
To Venus as a child, Arisa was a truly precious friend, but at the same time, she was also a sweet fruit that always tempted her.
