Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 33

When I heard that Lily was coming, I hurriedly changed out of my proper loungewear and dressed  into crisp clothes for a special cases . As an aristocrat, I’m not sure if I’m supposed to wear clean and stylish clothes on a regular basis. To be honest, I spend most of my time at home in simple clothes, like shirts and chinos that could be sold at Uniqlo. This wasn’t just me, but also my dad, my mom, and Noel. Not to mention my younger brother and sister, who are still very young .

I’m not sure why I have to wear such a tight formal wear when no one is looking at me. Aristocrats are creatures that look good, but if you don’t have someone to look at you , you don’t have to ear such  clothes .

That’s why, when I have an urgent visitor like Lily, I usually have to make my guest wait. However, it’s almost like a formality, and depending on the status of the person  i am dealing with, how long I make them wait, or whether I greet them in person. The old man seemed to be dressed in formal attire today to  great the merchant, but the clothes he was wearing were not of that high a rank, and he was probably kept waiting for a reasonably long time. Adults ……, or rather nobles, seem to have a lot of trouble dealing with details. This is the only part of my life that I am worried about it  in the future.

I’m not bound by rules, I can do whatever  want !

I changed from my cotton shirt, which I didn’t mind getting dirty, to a more presentable silk shirt, and changed my underwear from khaki chinos bought at a local store to custom-made dark blue pants. I put on an iron horn leather belt, and I was finally ready to go. Although she was my fiancée, she was the daughter of a duke. In terms of status, she’s above me, so I can’t afford to look shabby. It seems I can’t be freely.

“Master Hal, Lady Lily is here to see you.”

Alisa, the maid whom i  kicked  out of the room for trying to help me change, opens the door and comes to tell me.

“You’re here already? That was pretty last minute.”

I hurried to the door with Alisa. At the entrance facing the lobby, there was Lily in a cute white onesie, whom I hadn’t seen in months, and May in a sleeveless dress, whom I hadn’t seen yesterday.

“Lily, long time no see. You already here .

I called out to her, but she didn’t respond .

“Lilly?”

When I looked closer, I saw that Mei was also in a low tone.

“What?　What’s wrong with you two?”

“…… It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other.”

“It’s terrible. ……”

“……?”

There was a disturbing feeling.

Lily walked up to me, grabbed me by the shoulders, opened her eyes and screamed.

” who is that  woman?”

“What?”

I was about to reply that she was just a friend, when Mei interrupted with an unnecessary remark.

‘ You was just playing with me?!

So where do you learn to do that?　You and I only play in the first place! I look at the two of them, trying hard to suppress the urge to say ……. Lily is angry, and Mei  looks sad. I’m not sure if that was just a tease, or if she was really sad.

“What’s this?”

“Hal’ you idiot !

“Hal i won’t hang out with you anymore!””

It seems that at the age of six, I’ve been caught up in a battle of wits.

✳︎

“So Mei and I are just friends and we haven’t caused any problems.

“That’s true, isn’t it?　So you’re sure about that? It’s not like you’ve been cheating or anything?”

“How can a child molester have an affair?”

“That’s true.’

For the time being, if I wanted to make an excuse on the spot, I had a feeling that the place would be overwhelmed, so I first prepared Mei’s skewered meat and had him close it at the workshop. As expected, Mei reluctantly withdrew when she as told , “I’ll  came later,” perhaps because she saw that the genius blacksmith girl wasn’t  match for the duke’s daughter.

And from there on, it was just time for Lily. I explained to her how much I cared for her and that Mei  was just a good friend and that I was innocent, and she managed to forgive me. I

I haven’t played with Hal for months,” she said., and yet that thief cat has been playing with  you every day, that’s one thing I can’t forgive.

“Please forgive me, ……. I’ll play with you all day until I collapse.”

. That’s it. I’ll let you off with that.”

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us. Hmm, I’m not supposed to be a pedophile… ……

Later, while my sister Noel and Lily, who had come  after hearing  the news of Lily’s arrival, were eating a snack together, I went to the workshop where Mei  was. When I entered the workshop, Mei was playing with some metal in a slightly distracted manner.

“Mei.”

“…… Hal.”

“Sorry, I can’t play  with  you today.””

…… I have no choice. I know what I’m doing. I know that  duke daughter  has an intermediary.

“You can use this place freely without me. I’ll tell the servants.”

“…… No, it’s fine. When the day comes when you can play, please come to my house.”

“Mei ……”

I’m lucky that I don’t get to say, “I don’t know you anymore.”

“All right.”

i am sorry then.”

After saying that, May went home. Even though it was bad timing, I’m sorry for what I did. I’ll have to do something to make it up to her in the near future.

Despite my feelings of incompleteness, I was still happy that Lily had come to visit me, so I decided to enjoy myself to the fullest with her.

We strolled through the beautiful gardens, explored the mountains behind the city, and even disguised ourselves as commoners before touring the city and enjoying the food stalls. I decided not to go to the workshop or the secret base, as I didn’t want Lily to be sad.

“Oh, I’m so tired. ……”

“I’ve done a lot of walking. ……”

I’ve been working out, so physically I’m fine, but mentally I’m very tired. It is not good for the mind to act while being careful. It was hot outside, and I felt like taking a bath to refresh myself.

“I want to take a bath.”

“What a coincidence, me too.”

“lets take bath together .

“Yeah, let’s go to …… together, eh?”

I wanted to ask Her , “Are you sure? I wanted to ask him back, but I restrained myself. Or am I a man of self-control? First of all, I’m not a pedophile. No, not at all. Lily is too cute for that.

“Lily, in case you forgot, I’m a guy.”

“I know that. You don’t like it?

“. No, I don’t!

“That’s fine. Let’s go.

I’m not sure if she’s a tomboy or an arrogant one, but she’s not as bad as Noel, which makes me smile.

This is how I ended up  bathing  with Lily. ……  Is it okey mixed bathing with your fiancé?

✳︎

Her silk one-piece dress falls away, revealing her fine white porcelain skin. A fragrant scent of flowers drifted from her slightly sweaty neck, stimulating my still-unawakened man parts. The child’s soft belly and cute peachy buttocks tempted me – and that’s not good enough ！！！！！　I don’t want to be a criminal, even if a i am her  fiancé !

But then again, I’m also a six-year-old, and she’s my fiancé to begin with, so in terms of taking responsibility, there’s nothing wrong with that, is there?　But I’m an adult on the inside, and according to Japanese ethics, it’s a crime to look around like you’re licking a child, but this is the otherworldly Hylant Empire, and I don’t know what’s going on anymore… –.

“Ohhhhhh!”

What’s wrong with you?”

I got a “creepy” from a six-year-old girl. Not bad for an abusive fiancé.”

Apparently my head was going crazy from the heat   and fatigue.
