Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Hāremu ken - Chapter 274

Chapter 274

At night in my bedroom . Rica was looking up to the ceiling wearing just a single piece of silk clothing .

Even within the darkness, her eyes looked clear and sparkling .

Those eyes of hers made me interested a bit .

「What’s the matter, are you thinking of something?」

「I was remembering the past」

「The past?」

「Before I met Kakeru」

Rica suddenly smiled .

I remembered different eyes .

Rica’s eyes when we just met, her eyes that looked lifeless when she was being controlled like a puppet by the eunuchs .

「Why so suddenly?」

「I can’t remember it」

「Un?」

「You know, right now . I have so many things to think of every day . I feel like it’s even too much . But I would suddenly think, what was I thinking back then」

「Hmm」

「And then, I realized I couldn’t remember anything . Although I can remember what happened back then, I can’t remember what I was thinking at all」

「Would you want to remember it?」

I got on top of Rica who was lying on her back, looking into her eyes .

If, if Rica wants to remember, then……

「……fufu」

She stared straight back to my eyes and gently smiled .

「What’s funny?」

「Kakeru is always like that . If I answered yes here, you would probably do that for me . No matter how difficult it would be, no matter what obstacles are waiting for you」

「Of course」

Rica is a good woman, my woman .

If Rica wishes so, then I’ll grant it whatever it is .

「Fufu」

「What’s up with you, really」

「That was probably why, it turned out like this」

「Un?」

「Kakeru is only doing what he wants . You would find good women and make love with them . You would love them because they would become good women and continuously love good women as they improve」

「Well yeah」

「That Kakeru, makes the women around him captivated wilfully . It is not because Kakeru is cool, nor because he would do something for us . That way of living makes us captivated」

「Is it such a big deal?」

「Being captivated, it brings us joy」

「Hmm」

「It even makes us want to help you」

「The noble title……no, about Melissa huh」

Rica’s smile deepened .

Rica’s an intelligent woman . She probably knows that the reason I’m helping Caroline in the first place is for Melissa .

The Solon Church’s pope is about to die and there are movements to support the next pope . Naturally, as a queen, Rica would’ve known it .

And she probably somewhat knows that Melissa is refusing to be the pope .

It is easy for Rica to imagine that I would do something for Melissa, so she probably lent a hand somewhere .

「I’ll tell Kakeru one thing」

「What is it?」

「There is a person in Calamba named Sybil Crass . At her own expense, she would open schools in small villages, and she herself is teaching lessons in there」

「He〜」

「But that person is currently in a tight spot . As a result of using her own wealth to do that, she is living an impoverished life enough to make herself fall into malnutrition . On top of that, she being harassed by some people that think that education is only for nobles . After saying this much, you should know what to do」

Rica smiled at me .

「It’s the best person to show God’s mercy huh」

I also grinned and raised the corner of my mouth, smiling back at her .

「That sounds something like if she were someone from the church, after she dies from deprivation, she would be a saint in the stories」

「Yes」

「If I use Caroline to help her, then her reputation will rise」

Rica silently smiled .

That’s why it makes you want to help .

Within the silence, I felt like I was told the same line from earlier .

「Thank you」

I kissed Rica then got out of the bed, started to wear my clothes .

「You’re going already?」

「Yeah, I heard something good, so I’ll be acting quickly」

I wore my clothes, took Eleanor, and took out my Warp Feather .

After giving Rica one last kiss, I warped to Ainon to make use of the information I got .

☆

Rica, left in the room alone after Kakeru left .

Enveloped by the remaining warmth and scent by her most beloved, she fell once again to the bed .

Laying on her back, she looked up at the ceiling .

Her eyes that shone even within the darkness was filled by loving kindness that did not show earlier .

「It makes us want to help you」

Rica repeated the same words .

Sybil Crass .

A person who thinks of the kingdom a hundred years later . A person who is burning with the ideal that the commoners must be given to commoners .

And a person who, for that ideal, would be willing to sacrifice her own self .

That kind of……woman . A woman that Kakeru would like .

Rica Calamba .

She is known as a queen who possesses a harem, and as such, called the Master of the Rose Garden .

Within Rica’s consciousness, the Rose Garden does not only exist within her palace, but extends throughout the lands of the Calamba Kingdom .

Rica who completely believes that being captivated by Kakeru is happiness schemed for Sybil and Kakeru’s encounter .

「I should prepare some more」

By adding intricate details, she was thinking of accelerating Caroline and Kakeru’s relationship .
