CH 146

Chapter 146 – Maids

“You should take it easy. Why don’t you rest a little longer?” (D’esta)

“I’m really fine now. How long have I been asleep?” (Noalia)

“Not long. Around 20 or 30 minutes.” (D’esta)

D’esta still had a look of concern on her face, and for good reason. Noalia’s complexion didn’t look that good, and it seemed like she was pushing herself.

…With her condition like this, it was uncertain if she would be able to speak even if Rajie came.

Well, no choice, I guess.

“…Excuse me, you over there?” (Bouchi)

“Huh? M-Me?” (Maid)

I called out to the maid standing closest to me.

“Give this to the princess for her to drink.” (Bouchi)

I furtively opened the and took out a bottle, placing it on the table so no one would notice.

“…What is that?” (Maid)

“[Extract of the World Tree].” (Bouchi)

“Wow, the World Tree… W-Wait, Extract of the World Tree?!” (Maid)

The maid’s eyes went round as saucers. Naturally, the people nearby were startled by her outcry and looked over.

“What are you screaming about all of a sudden, Tria?” (D’esta)

The first one to take notice was D’esta.

“Ah, s-sorry, D’esta-san! But t-this…” (Tria)

“Hm? What’s that bottle?” (D’esta)

“Err… Bouchi-sama wanted to give this to Noalia-sama.” (Tria)

“Hah? Bouchi, what’s this about?” (D’esta)

“The princess is tired, right? Have her drink this and she’ll get better right away.” (Bouchi)

“…No, there’s no way I’d have Noalia-sama drink some unknown liquid.” (D’esta)

“E-Er, D’esta-san?” (Tria)

“Hm? What is it, Tria?” (D’esta)

“About that… Bouchi-sama said that this bottle contains… [Extract of the World Tree].” (Tria)

“….Eh? Huh? E-Extract of the World Tree… You mean that Extract of the World Tree?” (D’esta)

“Apparently, but…” (Tria)

“Nonsense. [Extract of the World Tree] is hardly ever found on the market, you know? Even though it’s inferior to the famous [Elixir], it’s such a wonderful item that it can be called a cure-all. In an auction, it could go for as much as ¥10,000,000.”

Eh? Seriously? …This only cost me 2,000,000 though.

“I’m telling you, it’s the real thing.” (Bouchi)

“I don’t believe you! It could be poison for all I know!” (D’esta)

…Does she seriously think that I would try to harm Noalia at this point?

“Then how about you have someone take a sip to see if it’s real?” (Bouchi)

“Ah, yes! Me, me! I’d like to have a sip!”

Another maid called out, happily volunteering herself in a voice glittering with joy.

“Alicia? It might be dangerous, you know?” (D’esta)

“Eh, it’ll probably be fine.” (Alicia)

“What makes you so sure?” (D’esta)

“Hmmm… A woman’s intuition?” (Alicia)

Alicia seemed to be the spontaneous type, and her reasoning was just as ambiguous. D’esta’s shoulders slumped in exasperation when she heard her reply.

“Besides, if it really is the real thing, then lucky me! You know, the [Extract of the World Tree] is said to make you look young again or something like that.” (Alicia)

“…You’re still young though.” (D’esta)

She certainly did only look to be in her twenties, so I didn’t think she had any need to be that concerned about her age.

“Ugh, you just don’t get it, D’esta-senpai. Women always want to look young no matter how old they are. Anyway, bottoms up.” (Alicia)

“….Gulp. Huh?! Cough, cough, cough!” (Alicia)

Alicia suddenly started coughing up a fit.

“I knew it! It’s poison! Hurry up and spit it out, Alicia!” (D’esta)

“Ah, no, no! It’s fine… Cough. I just drank it a little too quickly and it went down the wrong pipe.” (Alicia)

She had me sweating for a moment there. I really thought D’esta was about to run me through with a sword.

Suddenly, Alicia’s body began to emit a faint glow.

“Hm? Wooaah! I feel so much energy flowing through me!” (Alicia)

“….Really, Alicia?” (D’esta)

“Yes! And look, my skin’s been a bit rough lately because of a bit of sleep deprivation, but it’s sooo smooth now!” (Alicia)

“E-Eh, no way. Are you serious? Let me take a closer look, Alicia-san.” (Tria)

Alicia began patting her face and showinf it off, and Tria, showing her interest, approached her.

“…It’s really true. Your skin is as smooth as a baby’s. It’s so soft and springy.” (Tria)

“Eheheh. And my boobs look a bit bigger too!” (Alicia)

“…No, there’s not supposed to be any breast enlargement effect.” (Bouchi)

“Ehh?!!” (Alicia)

“…Aww…” (Noalia)

Alicia sounded surprised, while Noalia let out a sound of disappointment. If I had to say, Noalia and Alicia both have really slender figures. Do they really want bigger breasts?

“Wuuu…. Bouchi-sama!” (Alicia)

Alicia suddenly came up to me with teary eyes. I unconsciously backed away and asked, ‘what is it?’.

“Would you happen to sell any medicine that makes your boobs bigger?” (Alicia)

“Hey Alicia-san, you’re being rude. I don’t think there’s such a convenient medicine.” (Tria)

“Tria is right. I mean, Alicia-san, you don’t really need to worry about your breast size, you know?” (D’esta)

“Right, right. If they’re too big, it’s bad for your shoulders and can get in the way of your daily life.” (Tria)

D’esta and Tria, who were both well-endowed, began to talk knowledgeably about the troubles of having big breasts. Hearing this, Noalia and Alicia trembled quietly in frustration.
