Chapter 48: The Aroused Female Knight Wants to Be Disciplined (1) 

Today’s lesson: 

Always lock your door thoroughly when enjoying “happy time.” 

“...Ahem.” 

Seyna, her face red, let out a cough, seemingly unable to forget the embarrassing scene she’d just witnessed because I’d neglected that lesson. 

We’d already seen everything there was to see, so why was she so embarrassed? Feeling oddly guilty myself, I was unsettled until Martina patted my shoulder and spoke up. 

“No need to be so down, Ei. If it were anyone else, maybe, but I don’t care at all. As long as I know you’re still healthy, that’s enough for me~” 

Ah, well. That’s a touching bit of comfort. 

Feeling a bit better, I asked the two of them, “So, what brings you here?” 

“Do I need a reason to see your face? You said you got a new place, so we came for a housewarming.” 

“I I was worried about your condition after the match, so I stopped by to check on you. I ran into Martina on the way…” 

Was Martina’s presence making Seyna nervous? She stiffened up and kept glancing at her, which Martina noticed and questioned with a teasing tone. 

“What’s up with you? Why do you keep looking at me like that?” 

“N-no, it’s nothing. I’m just honored to be in the presence of Lady Martina, one of the Lord’s three knights…” 

“Oh, so you’re nervous because I’m a big shot, huh?” 

Martina grinned mischievously. 

As I realized she was about to start teasing, Martina leaned in and scrutinized Seyna’s face. 

“You were quite the talk of the knights, weren’t you? Best of the new recruits, and some say you’re a candidate for the next Three Knights if you get more experience?” 

“T-that’s too much praise. I could never compare to someone like you, Lady Martina…” 

“Hey, don’t flatter me too much. We’re not that far apart in age, and anyway, even if our ranks are different, we both like the same guy, right?” 

Martina put her arm around Seyna’s shoulder, closing the distance in a friendly, and somewhat possessive, way. 

“You want to build a good relationship with Ei too, don’t you?” 

“T-that’s…” 

“Don’t worry~ I’m not planning to get rid of the competition or anything. It’s only natural for a guy as attractive as Ei to have a lot of women after him. If you can’t give up, it’s better to get along than to fight, don’t you think?” 

Her words were as generous as her chest. 

Seyna seemed to take something from that, glancing at me before turning back to Martina and asking cautiously, 

“Lady Martina… do you truly care about Aid?” 

“...” 

Martina met Seyna’s trembling eyes in silence. The tension grew until Martina finally smiled and answered. 

“Yes, I do. No matter how it happened, he’s the man I chose.” 

It might have been embarrassing to say that in front of everyone, but Martina was confident she openly expressed her feelings for me and acknowledged Seyna’s as well. 

“What about you? You haven’t known Aid long. Are you sure your feelings aren’t just a fleeting impulse?” 

“That’s…” 

Seyna lowered her gaze, thinking for a long moment before finally answering. 

“I thought so from the moment I first saw Aid. I thought he was a truly wonderful man… and if possible, I wanted to be the one to make him happy.” 

“Oh, love at first sight? You fell for him even faster than I did!” 

“F-fell for him… that’s…” 

Seyna covered her flushed face, and Martina laughed, then turned her smile to me. 

“I’ve got to say, you’re something else. Every woman you meet falls for you… you’re not some kind of demon, are you?” 

“Demon?” 

“Yeah, there are these things called incubi that seduce women and drain their energy…” 

Martina narrowed her eyes, sizing me up. 

Feeling a bit uncomfortable under her gaze, I was relieved when she laughed and shook her head. 

“Nah, you’re not one of those. Incubi are all shriveled up and pathetic.” 

“Oh, is that so?” 

I didn’t know the details, but at least I wasn’t being accused of anything suspicious. 

As I relaxed, Martina looked around the room and let out a whistle. 

“Anyway, this new place is amazing! It’s bigger than mine, and you have so many servants… Our Ei is really moving up in the world, huh? Maybe someday you’ll be even more important than me!” 

“I doubt it. Everything here was given to me by the Lord. It’s not really mine.” 

Yeah, all this luxury is only possible because I serve under her. If I ever left her or she decided I wasn’t useful, it could all be taken away. 

So I couldn’t really call any of it my own. 

“...Yeah, that’s true.” 

Martina muttered bitterly, staring at the mansion’s decorations. The cheerful mood from before was gone, as if she was remembering something unpleasant especially after we mentioned the Lord. 

“Martina.” 

“Huh? Oh, what is it?” 

She only snapped out of it when I called her name. 

I gently asked, “Is something bothering you?” 

“Bothering me?” 

“You seem different from yesterday. The mood’s changed.” 

She’d given her heart to me, and I to her, so I wanted to help if I could even if her worries as one of the Three Knights were heavy, I wanted to do what I could. 

“...Don’t worry about it.” 

Maybe my concern helped a little, because she smiled and patted my shoulder. 

“Even if I have problems, I can handle them. You just focus on your next match.” 

“If you say so.” 

If she didn’t want to talk, I wouldn’t push. 

With that, Martina turned and headed for the door. 

“Well, now that I’ve seen you’re okay, I’ll get going.” 

“Already?” 

“I’d love to spend more time with you, but Helia and I got assigned a mission together. We’ll be out of town for a while.” 

“That’s a shame.” 

“Yeah, it really is. I have to put off spending time with my beloved master. So !” 

 Smack!! 

She smacked Seyna’s butt as she passed. 

When Seyna let out a little yelp, Martina laughed and gave her a hearty push. 

“Take good care of Ei while we’re gone, okay?” 

“Y-yes, ma’am…” 

Seyna answered, flustered, and Martina, satisfied, left the mansion. 

Silence quickly filled the space, as if a storm had just passed. 

“...Um.” 

Seyna, still red-faced, glanced at me and spoke with effort. 

“I’ll do my best. I don’t know if someone like me can fill the gap left by those two, but…” 

“You don’t have to take it so seriously.” 

Anyone listening would think it was some huge responsibility. 

I smiled wryly, feeling the emptiness after Martina’s departure. 

“It’s a shame. I wanted to spend time with both you and Martina.” 

“T-that’s impossible! Just being allowed to be with you is enough to make my heart race. How could someone like me ever… with someone like her…” 

“Don’t put yourself down like that.” 

“I’m not. The Three Knights are legendary heroes in this city.” 

Legendary heroes, huh? If that’s true, they must be incredible by this world’s standards. 

It’s ironic that all three lost their virginity to me. 

“By the way, you mentioned Helia and Martina are on a mission together. How dangerous must it be for two of the Three Knights to go?” 

“...Who knows. I’m sure they’ll handle it.” 

There’s no point in us worrying about something we can’t control. 

Putting that aside, I decided it was time to get to the point. 

“Anyway, Seyna. You’re not just going to leave like Martina, are you?” 

“Uh, no… I’m not.” 

She’d come here with our relationship in mind, after all. 

Finally realizing it was time, she put her hand on her armor and asked shyly, 

“S-should I start undressing?” 

“Yeah, I’ll get ready too.” 

At least I wouldn’t be lonely tonight. 

Of course, I’d have to make sure to lock the door this time to avoid any more interruptions. 

As I headed for the door to do just that, someone’s face suddenly popped through the crack. 

“Master, may I come in for a moment?” 

“Whoa?!” 

Startled by Yekaterina’s sudden appearance, I felt a pang of guilt, remembering how I’d used her as fap material before. 

Surely she wasn’t here to confront me about that? 

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you…” 

“No, it’s fine. It happens.” 

Thankfully, it seemed she didn’t know I’d fantasized about her. 

Relieved, I asked why she’d come. 

“So, what brings you here?” 

“After Lady Martina left, you had another visitor. But, well…” 

“...Who?” 

Someone important enough to be called “that person” had come to visit? 

“Found you.” 

I learned who it was when she entered the room. 

Pink hair in pigtails, a childish animal onesie, and a teddy bear in her arms… 

“P-Petunia?!” 

Seyna gasped and bowed, but Petunia ignored her and marched right up to me. 

What was with this girl, showing up in pajamas? Was she here for revenge after losing yesterday? 

“You.” 

She glared at me and demanded, 

“What did you do to my body?” 

“...What?” 

“Because of you…” 

Clutching her teddy bear, Petunia’s face turned bright red as she complained, 

“Ever since our fight, my body keeps heating up and I can’t sleep at all. What did you do to me? How do I fix this?” 

Uh, her body keeps heating up? So after our encounter yesterday, she’s been in heat?
