Two women were introduced to me.
Mimachi, the exclusive maid
A girl with a mix of elf blood, who looks like a cute little girl?
She seems to be an adult woman with a different kind of cuteness compared to my appearance.
Her black twin-tails give off a somewhat Japanese vibe.
Also, the atmosphere she exudes is similar to a friend from my previous life.
She often asked me to make costumes for anime and games.
For her hobby, she even went as far as to get six-pack abs.
I don't know how she earned money, but she was also my sponsor.
For her hobby, she seemed ready to swallow any difficulty...
Honestly, the mental strength to defy her parents was largely influenced by her.
That's why I felt a sense of familiarity.
And then,
Menes Stroll, the female knight assigned to me
She was the problem.
She was said to be Lord Rodan's lover (revenge on his sister?)
The daughter of a family that governs the territory where the former king retired
Her face is hidden by full armor
Although she was introduced, more importantly,
"Take it off, please, cough"
"Eh, Lady Yui? What do you mean?"
I didn't expect there to be another disappointing person after the former king.
Why is the torso part the last to be put on? Because of this, the otherwise well-designed female armor looks like a barrel!
"Ah, Lady Yui, in Stroll's family, it's forbidden to take off the armor in front of men until marriage," Mimachi said, patting my back.
"Still, about Lord Rodan..."
Stroll whispered, her voice trembling.
I shook my head from side to side.
It seems she was experiencing some kind of maidenly shock, but there's no reason for that. Lord Rodan has never treated me as a romantic interest, and there's no need for her to be shocked.
He has always seen me as a child in need of protection since we first met.
This isn't that kind of issue.
"Ki, kata, different"
I couldn't speak.
Although I had recovered somewhat from my rest, I wasn't fully recovered.
Mimachi extended both hands towards me.
"Lady Yui, don't push yourself. Just move your lips to tell me what you want to say, and I'll read it."
Lip reading!
Even though I can't speak, and the words don't come out properly, I tried my best to convey my message.
Up until the age of ten, I had mastered the language of this world, but after not speaking it for five years, it got mixed up with my previous life's Japanese.
"Um, the neck part first? Then the legs? And the torso part? Like tightening a corset?"
"Um, Lady Yui? Armor isn't a corset, you know?"
I shook my head.
"Co, corsets can't be used in battle!"
"Huh? Is it bad to tighten the chest part?"
"Women's chests are soft!"
"Stroll, you have big breasts, don't you?"
Mimachi's face was suddenly grabbed by Stroll's hand.
Oh, Iron Claw
"Pervert, are you translating properly?"
"A, a, don't lift it"
The full armor is probably mixed up with the male version.
While it's not her specialty, I can confidently say this about the armor.
The torso is snake-scale shaped.
The attached skirt has protective stitching.
This isn't the work of those parents.
It's probably a collaboration with a blacksmith.
There's something in the metal parts.
I can feel magic.
That's why I can tell that if it's not put on correctly, the magic won't integrate properly.
It's such a pity that it's so poorly made!
If she can't take it off in front of men, she can change in a room with only women.
Lord Rodan and Lord Arjitt smiled and nodded.
"It's similar to Arjitt's reaction. But this is the Menes family's heirloom."
"Disassembly is not allowed."
Lord Arjitt whispered.
I nodded.
"It's a waste."
The doctor and the two women left the room, and several maid sisters came in.
Oh?
This is the infirmary.
Why am I here?
"Then, I will assist you, Lady Stroll."
"Eh, eh?"
"Fe, fe, fe, it's fine, it's fine."
Mimachi, with her hands waving suspiciously, was about to pounce on Stroll when she was suddenly grabbed by the neck from behind by the head maid.
"It's been a while, hasn't it, Mimachi?"
"Eh, Endria, ma'am."
"Are you going to be assigned to Lady Yui? There are a few things I need to caution you about, so come with me."
"I, I can't leave Lady Yui's side."
Mimachi, trembling violently, said while desperately looking at me.
"Lady Yui, I'll borrow this."
"Sure."
Of course, I nodded immediately.
Yes, this is a typical flow. The maid sisters never paid attention to our conversation.
"Immediate answer!? How about it~"
And so, Mimachi was unceremoniously dragged out of the room.
