I Became the Son of a Corrupt Lord, so I’ll Enjoy an Easy Life in Another World ~but Please Stop Revering Me as a “Saint”!~

Stage 3-3. You’re Family Too

Mashiro grabbed my cheeks and forcibly turned my face toward her.

Something doesn’t add up. Mashiro, despite her extraordinary magical talent, is supposed to be physically weak. So why can’t my trained neck resist her?

“Alright then, Ouga-kun, what was the question we just asked you?”

“Hahaha, oh, that? Easy to remember.”

“Well then, go ahead and answer?”

“…You asked for the best sweets. Isn’t that right?”

“Wrong! Buh-bye, ideal paradise~!”

Farewell, my dreamland.

Guess I’ll do better in my next life.

Having been given the world’s most cheerful death sentence, I closed my eyes and awaited my fate.

“For that, Ouga-kun, you get this… take that!”

Suddenly, my vision went pitch-black.

But I didn’t lose consciousness or black out.

This supremely soft, marshmallow-like sensation and sweet feminine fragrance… the answer is clear.

Welcome back, my ideal paradise!

I’ll never let it go again!

“You can’t ignore us just because Alice-san is beautiful, Ouga-kun.”

“Exactly, Ouga. You have to treasure everyone equally.”

“If you abandon us, Ouga-kun, I’ll curse your family line for eternity.”

“I’d never do that. I’m a greedy man. I never let go of what I want, no matter who or what it is.”

“Yup, we know. …That’s why we trust you and can follow you.”

As Mashiro gently stroked my head, she spoke softly.

A woman’s chest is often called the symbol of motherhood, and… indeed. This is soothing.

In this life… no, in any life, maybe it’s okay to crave maternal comfort.

Apparently, it was popular among adults worn out by society in my previous life, this craving for “babu” moments.

I think I understand it a bit now.

Still, I can’t stay like this forever.

I’m Ouga Vellet, the eldest son of one of the four great ducal families.

I have appearances to maintain. Giving in to gravitationally enhanced marshmallows during the day is unacceptable.

With a figurative tear of blood in my heart, I gently pulled away from Mashiro.

This isn’t the time. Remember, we’re on a long holiday…!

“Preparations for departure are complete. Whatever I missed, I’ll hear about it on the carriage ride.”
