"E...errr... you can... leave now? I can manage on m-my own until Tricia comes down again..."
""Not possible, we are held accountable for the well-being of dear esteemed guest.""
Both of the twins held dissenting opinions towards my suggestion and said it together, as if in a chorus.
"E...ehhh... whatever... anyway, that's kinda weird isn't it? ... calling me dear esteemed guest and whatnot... can you call me by my name normally...? I can't g-get used to such a fancy title d-directed towards me..."
The twins widened their eyes and averted their gazes.
"Th-then... that will do. What is your name?"
"Ah... my name... that's right. My name i-"
"S-Syviel, no fair!!! I was about to ask first!" (whispers)
Hmm...? Looks like they're whispering among themselves about something, interrupting my self-introductions halfway...
...Ahahaha... no one wants to know my name anyway...
Seems like the one with the bangs to the left and holding the battle axe is Syviel
while the other with the rapier is Syriel.
I gave up on the introductions since they looked like they were ignoring me, so I found a seat near the coffee table at the center of the room and sat down.
Noticing that, the two returned to their work to service me, as both of them repeatedly apologized to me profusely.
Nah, it's okay. I'm used to being ignored...
"Mn, so I'm White. White Shigaraki. I have come with the good grace of your master Tricia for a... ... temporary accomodation."
That's right, she hasn't said anything about letting me stay here for a few days right? I'll be a little more conservative instead so I don't appear too shameless...
"White Shigaraki, that's a weird name. Are you from the continent of Hilva?"
"Yeah yeah, where did you come from? Those rare black eyes and this much white hair... I was curious about it when I saw you at the entrance... you must have gone through a lot to get this much white hair..."
"Hey Syriel that's rude!!! Apologize to Sir White instantly!"
"A-ahhh, that was extremely blatant of me!!! I apologize for my careless remark that may stain your honorable reputation!!!"
...Ehhh??? The talk has gone off a tangent, whenever they do things besides following Tricia's orders it seems...
"Ha...hahaha... it's fine... really it's fine. I'm not from around here... and it's true that I've been through alot because of my family circumstances that I'd rather not talk about... ...but I'm not as noble as you two girls might think..."
I let a pained smile show on my face, as I narrowed my eyes while looking down.
There was no response from my words, just silence.
...?
When I lifted my head up to look, I saw the twins charmed for some reason.
They were blushing so heavily that their faces became very red.
"Eh?"
"T-t-t-t-t-that's right, you must be thirsty after t-t-talking so much to us right? Syviel!"
"Ah!!! T-t-t-t-that's right! How could we forgot about such basic courtesy! I a-apologize, White. Here, some herbal tea for y-y-you..."
Stuttering this heavily made my normal nervous stuttering around strangers sound like hiccups.
What's wrong with them?

i took the generous serving of tea on a porcelain teacup being served to me after giving a thanks.
""D-d-don't mind it... enjoy the tea...!""
This time, they even replicated their stuttering.
Uwahhh... they are really a funny pair of twins...
Laughing slightly, I drank the hot tea slowly, a sip at a time.
The twins were admiring the scene of me drinking as they stood very closely on my right.
T-too close!!! ...Wait... this tea...
...!!!
Woahhh, this taste is exquisite!!! I've never drank something like this before, it's making the tea I drank back on Earth like dirt water!!! The tea is tantalizing my taste buds with its sweet and fresh taste...!
"A-Amazing... This tea... What kind of tea is this?"
"I-I'm glad you enjoyed the tea! It is the usual one that Tricia requests us to brew, I'm happy to see you're enjoying it too!"
"What us, I brewed that myself! You only did the serving!"
"H-hey shut it, don't make a scene around White. You're making us look bad!!!" (whispers)
"Huh?! You started showing off needlessly first! You dare to blame me, you stupid sister?!" (whispers)
"That's not very nice is it?! How about you go sit in a corner and let me take care of him, or rather... just leave this room?" (whispers)
"Huuuuhhhh?!" (whispers)
"Huuuuhhhh?!" (whispers)
In the end, they never settled down and told me what the tea was made of until Tricia came down and picked me up.
Seeing that I still wasn't bathed yet, Tricia was furious and sent the two back to the front of the cottage to stand guard, of which they looked extremely sulky when being reprimanded.
Uwaaahhh... Tricia can get really fierce like this huh... I better not step out of boundaries here...
"A-ahem... well then. I sincerely apologize for the actions of my underlings, they're kinda... spunky... in a bad way when they see prospective marriage partners, see..."
"M-Marriage part-partners?! I would never!"
"Haha, you're belittling your looks too much. You're really handsome by our standards, did you know that?"
"Nngh..."
I was a little embarassed from Tricia's genuine remark. Her facial expression looked like she meant it.
She blushed when she realized what she had just said.
"A-ah, I-I'm sorry it wa-was a slip of the tongue..."
Tricia looked away quickly and averted her gaze, face blushing redly.
"D-don't mind it..."
Uwaaahhh... now there's an awkward silence in between us...
I looked at the elegant and new clothes Tricia wore after she took a bath upstairs.
She was even more beautiful now, after wearing a black one-piece with golden patterns around it.
She looked extremely womanly right now, it made me continue to stare at her figure unconsciously.
"D-do I look good?"
"Ah... y-yeah...! You look really gorgeous in that outfit!"
"I s-see..."
"It was worth it wearing my night dress after all..." (whisper)
This time, I caught what she was saying.
"Huh, this wasn't your formal wear? As expected, Tricia is very fashionable..."
"N-no... I... ...uuuu...."
She was covering her face cutely in embarassment. Looking at her like that make my heart throb a little.
Another moment of silence passed by.
"E-errr... I just wa-wanted to show you some clothes that the higher class elves wear a-around here... there's no ulterior motives to it you know?! I'll change back immediately since you've... you've seen it thoroughly..."
"M...mnn... y-yes... I understand..."
Another moment of silence passed by.
"I-I won't be keeping you here any longer then... the bathhouse is right behind this door. The towels, spare clothes and everything are available inside. You can take your time cleaning your body, I don't mind waiting for you while I get dressed properly..."
"G-got it..."
Finally, Tricia dashed back upstairs in a hurry and left me alone again in the guestroom.
Alright then, time to bathe I guess...?
----------------------------------------
Beyond the door I was being directed to earlier, was another smaller room that had all the towels and bathing equipment like wooden buckets and scrubbers.
No soap? Do the elves not have them?
I entered another set of doors that led to the bathhouse. It was pretty spacious.
There was a huge indoor hot spring and a place where I could wash myself before entering.
The showers seemed to run constantly from a plant on top of the ceiling, and it went down the stone floor where there were several holes that acted like drainage.
Seems like it isn't any different from a modern bathroom, ...with the exception of the hotspring of course.
After cleaning myself thoroughly, I entered the bath with a towel on my waist.
Aaahhh~ This feels so good... I can feel the fatigue in the morning going away...
...That's right... this morning... That was when I found out I was no longer inside of my bedroom.
When I tried to remember it past that, it felt like a glitched out video tape, as if it was deleted intentionally by someone.
Then that woman appeared on top of my lower body, and claimed to have taken my virginity...?
...Ah I seriously got a little hard from that... ...dude, what am I even doing...
I quickly counted some mental arithmetics to stop the hard-on.
...So basically, I don't know how I got here huh... There are so many questions... I hope Tricia and the elves can answer some of them...
Like the Betruvian Empire... the Luna Empire... How long can I stay here in the Glass Dome of this forest which was called the Shmizula Forest...
I don't know... There's so many questions... I don't ... know...
It felt so comfortable, that I slowly began to drift away into sleep.
...
...
But I was awakened by the opening of the bathhouse doors.
"U-uhhmmm... It's Tricia... I've come... to scrub your back... ...Eh? You're in the bath already?"
"Tr-Tricia?! Why are you in here?!"
"N-no matter... I'll come in the bath with you! Eiii!!!"
"Wait a s-"
Tricia cannon-balled into the hot spring; The water splashing around and blinded me momentarily.
"Tri-Tricia! I'll...I'll get out this instant, so don't worry about it!"
"No!!!"
She wrapped her chest around my left arm in order to keep me from escaping...!!!
I could feel a very soft sensation rubbing against the skin of my arm.
T-this is heaven... ...wait nooo!!! It's getting back uuuuuppp!!!
"W-well I thought that it was already kind of late to visit the night markets since they would have already been closed when we left the house, so I might as well come and talk to you like this."
"Y-you can talk after I'm done with the ba-bath right? I'll get up now-"
"You're really... that disgusted... to be around me...?"
Tricia sulked, making me realize that I might have done something bad to her.
"!!! N-no... that's not what I... that's not what I meant..."
"Then prove it, stay here with me for a small chat."
Her breasts were still touching my arm, but I tried to resist it strongly.
I could not assault my saviour like this, after she's given me some place to stay in...!!!
"Al-alright... let's talk...b-but just for a bit..."
I continued to endure the stinging pain on the lower half of my body.
