Several full moons have passed before the winter ends. Three months in total that people endured the excruciating coldness of the season and now, a new season, Spring, has come.

Trees once again bloomed to their lush green color and the flowers beheld their petals. The ashen sky becomes clear again and the sun gently smiles upon the land. Animals started coming out from their nest and shelters after a long season of hibernation and butterflies and birds starts flying around.

The fragrance of the season livens people’s mood as they once again spread their arms towards the sky and inhales the freshest air.

The Kingdom of Breille’s people has survived the harsh weather despite being a Kingdom that solely relies on its agricultural prowess. All of it is thanks to Princess Meriyal Breille who started an open trade with the Kingdom of Sirius.

Ivy Hellbeing further deepens the relationship between the two kingdoms by ordering her people to build more trade route around the forest. She would have never thought that she will find a new way to open the Demon Kingdom for business opportunities.

Furthermore, this instigated the Kerias Kingdom to open their line of trade with the Kingdom of Sirius with the Breille Kingdom as their proxy. This further improves the situation of the Breille Kingdom as job opportunities keep opening for the people.

Precious stones, magical items, supplies, resources and many other more has started flowing from the three Kingdom although the Kerias Kingdom haven’t declared yet their intention to communicate with the Demon Kingdom.

Distance is a partial reason for it but the pressing matter about it is that the Kerias Kingdom and the Sirius Kingdom has a history. Although it is less prevalent now, some people from the Kerias Kingdom still despite the demon even though a hundred years have passed.

Also, since the new season, the Kerias Kingdom’s most famous magical academy opens up again giving nobles from the Breille Kingdom and even from the Mesola Kingdom to travel back.

And because of the winter ending, traveling is now easier again and the path in the forest is accessible not only to merchants but also for nobles who travel back and forth from the Kerias Kingdom to the Breille Kingdom.

As for the lone Mansion inside the vast forest straddling the territory of the Breille Kingdom up to the territory of the Sirius Kingdom, preparations are undergoing while Reysha’s presence is unfound.

Midseason of winter, Reysha decided to leave the Mousseux and return back to the Einhart’s domain. It is unknown why but she’d rather spend some time with her family in this world rather than laze all day together with the bandits.

However, upon spring hits, Reysha returned to this place for the reason there’s the problem about the dimensional crack. By the time Reysha left the mansion, the answer is still unfound. She is afraid that something she caused may turn out to be a potential harm to people.

No, it is already harmful enough to this world, that’s why she can’t just leave it for responsibility’s sake.

Also, she is worried about Victoria, her granddaughter when she was still a man. She never really gave it a deeper thought but a lone girl living together with a group of men is still a little obscene in terms of ethics that she knows.

Not exactly one girl but one and a half girl if she considers Mika’s feelings.

There’s also the matter of Genesis, the Archpriest with power beyond their comprehension and her plans about reviving a God using Falikh’s body.

Not so long after she reached the innermost part of the forest that she saw the oddly built Mousseux that would surely stand out in the middle of the forest. Free from snow that has melted a long time ago, the roof, fences, and even the bushes and plants are thoroughly taken care of.

It has been a while too since the last time she saw the people in that place so she was a little curious and anxious about what mess could have happened. She prayed a little to herself that Teth, Eiru, and Mika are able to handle things around.

She stares at the huge mansion, however, she noticed that the large door is open and right off the bat, Reld is standing there dressed flashily with a noble accent. He dons a suit uncommon from this world, the one that is used in high-class parties back in her world.

Not only that, as soon as they met gazes, she felt that there’s something wrong with his atmosphere. As if he is alluring any person who came contact with him.

“What the hell is this…?” Reysha muttered in a low voice. She isn’t bothered by the bandit’s Host Mode as she is previously a man but it still annoys her to a certain degree.

“Welcome back, Miss Reysha. Such a fine day isn’t it?” Reld greeted with a smile that’s obviously trying to bewitch and seduce Reysha.

“I’ll punch you in the face if you tried to pull that face on me again.” Taking back what I said earlier that Reysha isn’t bothered at all, a vein popped from her forehead.

“D-Don’t please…I’m sorry…” Reld hurriedly apologizes by lowering his head. “It’s good to see you well though Miss Reysha.” He added without any farce from before.

“I’d like to know what you guys are up to now.” Reysha stares at Reld coldly as she cross-examines him.

Unable to keep a straight face in front of Reysha, Reld easily cracks and started speaking.

“Y-yes…but before that, let us move to new place.” Reld said while showing Reysha the way. He beckons Reysha to go around the mansion as if preventing her to see the guest room where they usually hang out.

“Oh? What’s this? I hear laughter and such from the guest room. What’s that, a woman’s voice?” Reysha said with an astonished face.

As Reysha said, laughter resounded throughout the place. The laughter of men and women…

“Please, Miss Reysha! Don’t!” Reld tried to stop Reysha who started marching towards the guest room.

However, Reysha paid no heed to Reld’s words and kept her stride. Reld can’t even touch Reysha out of fear and respect. His usual coin obsessed-self melts away as soon as Reysha makes her appearance.

Giving Reld a little leeway of relief, Reysha didn’t slam open the huge door but just took a peek at the little slit that it shows.

Goosebumps immediately crawled its way towards her body upon laying her eyes on the scenery.

“Oh my, my little cute kittens, aren’t you glad you lost your way and found this garden of apples?” Amadeo said towards one of the girls that cling to him in one of the new couch that looks so expensive. Glitters float around him and the four girls clinging to him are all lovestruck.

“Kya! Sir Amadeo is so charming!” Said by one of his fangirls.

“Are you really going to steal our hearts?! No, you don’t have to answer Sir Amadeo because you already have!” Said by one more of the girls.

“The moment your heart started going badump is the moment I have stolen your hearts, fair maidens. Say, how about another cup of tea?” Amadeo once again made a punchline and offered the rich looking girls a drink in which everyone nodded.

Shifting her attention to another corner of the room is where Eiru is…

“Uwah, I know that you’re a boy but I can’t help not to get swayed by your cuteness Sir Eiru! Your skin is like porcelain and your hair is like a fragment of gold.” One of his fangirls said.

“Is that so? I do think most of you are charming in their own ways. I’m honestly relieved that I get to be complimented but you know, how about I compliment all of you for being…desirable.” Eiru’s long shot words ignited the three girls flocking to him into embers.

“N-No way…! Sir Eiru…that’s unfair!” Exclaimed by one of the girls.

“Your look is so deceiving Sir Eiru. Who would have ever thought that you are such a smooth talker! Even so, it made me skipped a beat!” One of the girls said with dreamy eyes filled with passion.

And in one corner, there’s Hansen entertaining his own flock of girls. In another corner by the tables, the twin, Sod, and Mes are striking the girls with funny jokes and flirty remarks. Furan is entertaining older women who seem to be in their thirties.

In another corner is Morio, singing and playing his instrument which also gathered some attention. Girls watch him with passionate eyes.

And many other more but the one that stands out the most is not Falikh but rather…it was Victoria…

“Ahahaha! You really think so?! Ain’t you a sweetheart? Don’t be shy, come closer.” She coerced a girl and without any resistance, the girl clings to Victoria’s arm.

“Ah, no fair! I want to cling to your arms too, Victoria!” One of the girls exclaimed with a perplexed face.

“As you can see, both of my arms are already occupied but perhaps…do you want to sit in my lap? I don’t mind.” Victoria impishly grins with a little hint of seduction.

“Y-Y-Your lap!? I am grateful to do it!” The girl suddenly rushes to Victoria’s lap.

“No! I am the one who is going to take a seat on there!” One of the girls stopped her.

“Allow me to occupy it!” Another girl joined the fray…

In total, Victoria is catering to eight girls.

Reysha who saw the spectacle cocks her head back with eyes full of bewilderment. She shakily took a step back upon the flirt fest inside the guest room.

She fixes her posture and spoke.

“Come, Spoof.” She coldly called out to someone out of nowhere.

In an instant, Spoof arrived beside Reysha like a blur. One of his knees is planted on the ground as he gives Reysha a welcome salute.

“…!” Spoof wordlessly gestured.

“Give me a detailed explanation of what the hell is happening here!” Reysha shouted with yet another headache invading her temples.
