Blooming Thorn in Another World
Chapter 277: Entourage 1

Chapter 277: Entourage 1

A three-day festival was held in celebration of Fonfon’s return…

Neither I nor Violetta expected that a celebration would break out. The news spread like a wildfire. Before Fonfon can even appear in front of the citizen, a parade was already held. As expected of a rich and prosperous kingdom, they easily amassed a grand parade not only to welcome Fonfon back but to also celebrate again the victory against the devils.

None any of the citizens are even aware that Alstroe and I destroyed the moon. Violetta announces that because of the joint effort of all the kingdoms in the battle at the center continent, the world was saved. Such a fairy tale like white lies was told.

I can’t blame them since they want to make the civilians feel safe as possible. The outbreak of the devils is only told to higher ranking knights that were asked to defend the shore of the human continent and some selected forces.

Anyway, the festival lasted for three days and during those days, Alstroe and I became a living dress doll…

After picking an appropriate dress for the event, I would stand beside Fonfon during his speeches and interactions with the people. Of course, I need to do my job as his support so I continue to praise him and tell the citizen of how my worries vanished.

It’s true though that I am really worried but thinking back, I am really embarrassed to show it to people. Stuttering has become quite my bad habit and so I did that so many times.

I had to adlib some lines too whenever Violetta is not around for the reason a lot of rest is advised to her since she is pregnant.

Alstroe just trots around and let people watch her running around and eating food from stalls to stalls. She did that for three days straight and seldom pays for it. People immediately got fond of her but when I was asked about Alstroe, all I could say is she is an acquaintance.

From their perspective, Alstroe is a seven years old girl. Well mentally, she passed as a seven years old little girl. As for me, no one even questioned why I suddenly grew up.

Overall, I did have fun with the festival suddenly booming. Rather, I was supposed to do my job but I don’t even know what should I do. I just stand close to Fonfon while people greet us. The whole capital was teeming with people that they estimated it to be around three hundred thousand tourists not including the local residents.

A report says all of the inns and hotels are fully booked. Once again, I’m not surprised at how prosperous this kingdom is.

This is the reason the people love Fonfon so much because of all the reforms and leadership that he showed promise and gave it fruition.

I avoided discussing about our grave visit since it won’t even do anything significant at all.

At the end of the third day, the festival and parade slowly die down together with the sun sinking in the horizon. The lanterns were already lit and knights are still busy with patrols who are led by Lily and Edelweiss.

At last, the festival has come to an end and Fonfon is back to his paperwork. Ishtal was given a week off for working continuously because of Fonfon’s absence. As for me and Alstroe, our tonight's activity will be none other than bathing!

“Yay! A huge bath!”

“Don’t run around! I know you won’t get hurt but that’s just bad manners!”

Alstroe runs around the huge hot bath stark naked. I know that her cranium is tougher than steel but it’ll be a little problem if she slips and accidentally broke tiles with her head.

“Ah, don’t dive yet! Wash first!”

“Okay!”

As Alstroe answered, she immediately sat down on a wooden stool and waits.

……

It has been quite a routine for Alstroe and me to bath together and I will wash her body. I’m fine doing that every day but it’s kind of annoying that she knows already what to do and don’t need my orders.

I picked up a soap that smells like strawberries and started using it to Alstroe’s body. Sods started floating around without delay.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“Ehehehe! That tickles!”

“We have to wash this…p-p-part too!”

“I know that! Big Sis Cecille always tells me to do it whenever I take a bath.”

“Why am I even doing this if you can do it yourself? Two weeks have passed and I’ve been washing this part for you. Do it yourself now…”

“Yes!”

Alstroe started caressing the crevice, every nook, and cranny with gentleness. She guides and slips her finger in and out lightly and smoothly. She lets out soft moans as if she is trying to stop her urge to let out her voice.

As if she has become used to the sensation, she started going a little bit rough. The soap made it slippery so her fingers can slips in and out easily. She is not moaning softly anymore but her ragged voice started slipping out instead.

Knowing that it is bubbly enough, she goes deeper and started rubbing harder. Again, her ragged voice that she desperately keeps to herself is leaking.

“Hngh…!”

“That’s enough, Alstroe…”

“Yes…it’s…it’s…!”

With a satisfied face, she reaches out for a bucket of water and splashes it all over.

“It’s clean! My foot has always been ticklish so it’s kind of hard to clean it myself!”

“Well, you did make it squeaky clean, rubbing it up with the sole.”

“Ehehe!”

Goodness…

She really needs to start cleaning it herself.

“Come here, I’ll wash your back.”

“Okay! I’ll wash yours in return.”

“Then we can dive!”

“Ha! Come at me!”

“Come at me?”

For some odd reason, Alstroe always gets fired up whenever hot bath comes.

Because her back is facing me, I started washing it too. Bubbles easily float up and her small back was immediately covered with suds.

As I was scrubbing and busy playing with Alstroe, a presence suddenly made me shiver.

It’s the kind of presence that Violetta have but it’s entirely different. Not hostile but not so friendly as well.

An Arcana magician is nearby…

“What’s wrong Asagao?”

“Alstroe, there’s someone there…”

“Sorry…my current power is extremely useless that my detection didn’t work…”

“It’s an arcana magician…you’re worst against them right?”

“Still…”

Something or rather, someone is here, walked right into this castle unnoticed. It’s impossible that Violetta and Fonfon won’t notice it.

And then, from the door leading to this bath, a dark and pugnacious aura has invaded the place. There peeks a pair of thick glasses that I am familiar with…

A grinning and smirking Mimosa who is also stark naked stares at us like we are her experimental subjects…

This is Mimosa, a dragon kin who was descendent of Black Dragon Warlord …who was my former boss back at the Fairy continent… appeared before us…

“Ehehehe…! Ahehehe…! Two…two of you…so mythical…so rare…! Ah…the bliss. Observation alone has given me a lot of information…”

“G-Get away you abomination!”

“Mwahahaha!”

I can’t take it any longer so I drew a sword from my dimensional storage and charges at her at full strength.

“Get away! What are you even doing here?! Why did the soldiers and even Violetta let you inside!?”

“That’s mean, alien. I got proper permission you know.”

Grrr!

“Ahehehe, it is someone you know after all Asagao.”

“No, Alstroe, that’s not it!”

“Hmm?”

“Enemy! She’s an enemy that will ask for your spit at any time of day!”

“Oh? So funny!”

It’s nothing sort of funny!

I’m going to kick her out of this place!

I kicked the ground and points my sword towards her. However, before I can even get close to her she already dodged in advance.

If I remember correctly, Mimosa’s ability in dodging is like trying to hit a wind and she proved that in a battle.

How bothersome!

B-But those jiggling things are really…wait…!

“What are you doing here anyway?”

“That’s--!”

Mimosa was about to say something, however, another voice intruded before she could even continue.

“Yahoo!”

“Pardon for the intrusion.”

My eyes suddenly widen upon the two people who entered the place. I tried pinching my cheek but they are there.

A girl who is just a bit taller than me with supple, large, and bouncy breasts with defining brown hair, a girl that resemblance to Milin is uncanny, Topaz.

The other girl that dons a blond hair and swirling horns with a goat tail on her back skips inside the bath without any cover, Mimi.

The two of them also comes inside the bath with Topaz barely covering her whole body with a towel and Mimi who shamelessly exposes herself, and then there’s Mimosa.

“It’s been a while Topaz, Mimi!”

“Yes, master! We’ve been busy back at the fairy continent so Topaz and I didn’t have much time to visit!”

Mimi said as she proceeds to sit on a wooden stool too and beckons Topaz to wash her.

“But that’s not the case anymore, Asagao.”

“What do you mean by that Topaz?”

“From now on…Mimi and I are going to live together with you. We already have our things here.”

“Wait…is that true?!”

“Yes, but there’s also one fundamental problem as to why…if it can be called problem.”

Topaz glances at Mimosa with unchanging expression in her eyes. The last time I saw Topaz, she has a meek and honest attitude but now, it seems that she has grown mentally…and physically…

“So, what’s this problem?”

“I’ll answer.”

Mimosa said as she went straight to the hot bath and help herself with it. She didn’t immediately answer, she savored the feeling of bathing with her body submerged to the temperature one can become comfortable with.

Since she takes a long time to explain, it’s rather rare that she looks hesitant. Because of her idleness for a while, I continue washing Alstroe and Topaz washes Mimi’s back.

“Ah, right. “

“Hmm?”

“First of all, you are the one who adopted Topaz and you are her rightful owner so we can’t keep her with us. Senya has already made a charm to suppress her presence as a devil so no need to worry about her being found out.”

“A charm from Senya? I suppose that’s a little trustworthy.”

“Then there’s Mimi who you made a contract with. You are her legal master now so we can’t keep her too.”

“Hey! You sounded like you are just giving away things!”

“Ain’t that common?”

“Well, you are Mimosa after all.”

It’s fine for me to have them. Fonfon also wanted to meet them and I bet he doesn’t have any complaints about this.

“Then…how about you?”

“Me? Hey, Asagao, I am here as goodwill ambassador you know.”

“Ambassador?”

“The Congregation is tomorrow. Senya wants a good connection with the humans so she sent me.”

Ah…

The congregation is tomorrow…
