Yosuga Stellaworth Story
"Miss Helper, why don't we take a break soon? The ume yokan (plum red bean jelly) is delicious."
"Ume! It looks delicious!"
She turns around happily and puts the rag in her hand into the bucket. Her familiar action is strangely cute, and I can't help but burst out laughing.
"Come over after you clean up. I'll prepare the tea first."
"Thank you, I'll be there soon!"
She picks up the bucket, turns, and walks away. Seeing her enthusiasm as she walks to the room to put away her cleaning supplies and equipment, which only the staff knows about, I find myself falling for her all over again.
After watching her like that for a while, I return to my room.
『Jigoku-dayuu of the Underworld has become the husband of [White] Olympia by entrapping her.』
I'm tired of hearing rumors like that.
As expected, no one would criticize me face-to-face, but for those who love to gossip, this situation is a good topic of conversation, and both the Surface and the Underworld are in an uproar as a result.
There is also a story that I have already impregnated her and made it impossible for her to escape, and in response to that, I can’t help but mutter, ‘It was regrettable. That was supposed to happen, but I avoided it.’
"Thank you for waiting."
After a light knock, the door opens.
"You know, earlier, I was asked whether I’m holding your weakness against you."
"...What’s that?"
"You were cleaning the windows so diligently like that, they thought I was being mean to you."
"What? That's not true! Next time, tell them to ask me directly. I'll tell them that I enjoy polishing the glass while looking at the cherry blossoms."
"I will tell them. Now sit down and eat."
Yes – she seems to really enjoy cleaning those windows. I thought she would get tired of it soon, but recently, she and Camelia have started to enjoy doing it without me knowing.
"Then...thank you for the food."
She slices her yokan and puts it in her mouth with expectant eyes.
"...!"
"I’m glad you seem to like it. We prepare plum wine here every year. What's inside is chopped plum."
"Plum wine! Come to think of it, I think I've seen people crushing all sorts of fruit on the island. I think I'll try it too."
"I'll teach you. It's not that hard, you can try it. But you can't drink alcohol yet, so we'll start with the candied ones."
"Candied...that sounds delicious too."
Looking at her mumbling in trance, enchanted by the prospect of candied plums, it doesn’t seem like she is someone who has the power to make people disappear. But even that terrifying side of hers, I too adore.
"There’s no way I would ever be mean to you. How can I, when I love you this much."
She stiffens. I watch as her white cheeks then turn red.
"D-Don't worry about it. Rumors are temporary after all. No matter what anyone says, you're a good person, someone who can lead everyone."
"Oh, did someone tell you something?"
She pouts her lips a little and puts yokan into her mouth again as if to soothe herself.
"...It's the same as when I started looking for a groom, and it's the same as the matter of cleaning the windows. People don't say it to my face. But I'm sick of hearing that you’ve deceived me because I'm so ignorant of the world, or that you’ve turned me into an immoral person without integrity because I’m in love with you."
"Yeah, that's definitely wrong."
"Right?"
"I was the one who was turned into an immoral person because of you."
"...!?"
As if sensing something, the girl who sits in front of me starts inching away. Expecting her action, I quickly grab her by the ankle and stop her movement.
"Yosuga? Wait...Ah!?"
I split her legs wide open on the tatami mat and run my tongue over her thighs, causing her to let out a sharp, sweet voice. I was really just trying to tease her, but her voice makes my lower limbs hotter all at once.
I was banished to the Underworld because of the Purple Plague and raised by Tsukuyomi, which has made me pessimistic. But the truth is, I am only 20 years old, the age when my desires as a man are at their peak. That is also why on the Surface, it’s considered an acceptable age for mating.
“Just for the record, what are your plans after this? If you were cleaning the window, that means today’s delivery is already done, right?”
"Oh, I'm done... B-But Yosuga? You're still working... right?"
"I'm the owner of this place, so I can rest whenever I want."
"Hmm...Ah!?"
As soon as I let the tip of my tongue slide deeper, her whole body swells up. Looking at her like this, there’s no way I can stop. She’s so naive, to the point that I can't stand it.
"Do you think I'm a beast-like man?"
"I-I don't think so, but..."
"Do you not want to go along with my desires?"
Her fingertips stiffen slightly. Slowly, she turns away from me and covers her face with her hands.
"I don’t…I don’t hate it."
This is one of the reasons why I love her. Growing up in the Underworld, I had learned too much about human desires to have any faith in chastity or morality. I know of a woman who spends her days on the Surface as a pure and wise wife, but is looking forward to being violated by a large number of nameless men once a month. I also know of a certain man in the upper echelons of the military who loves being stripped naked and being whipped by girls while being ridiculed.
That is why she, who does not deny her own desires, looks so innocent and pure. And the fact that it's me who makes her disheveled like this, fuels my desire for her even further.
"Then, I'll untie your ribbon."
She nods slightly. I carefully untie the small collar and unbutton the first button. Then, kissing her exposed collarbone, I place my finger on the second button.
"...Yosuga."
"I can't take off your blouse if you keep your face covered like that, and I can't kiss you. Put your hands down."
"...Jigoku-dono is a villain."
Just as I’m about to remove my hand, she looks away shyly. I catch her chin in my grip.
"You’re just realizing that now?"
"...No, I’ve always known."
I lick her pouting lips and slowly open them with the tip of my tongue.
I’ve always thought that her being greedy and lewd like this despite being noble as one of her virtues. I like that she is really shy, but also really wants it.
"Um…Yosuga? Is it actually a nuisance for me to polish the windows?"
"Eh?"
I have always liked that I could never anticipate what she is going to say, but as expected, this is a surprise. When I fail to respond quickly to her words, she lets out a dejected sigh.
"Because it would be the trigger of some nasty rumors about you threatening me or being mean to me, wouldn't it? I would never allow that to happen."
I’m stunned by her words and after recovering, feel the urge to worship her. Yes, she is this kind of woman. That's why I'm so attracted to her.
"It's not a nuisance in the slightest. This way, whenever you want to call it a break, you can also drag me into my room like this."
"I am being serious right now."
“Then, the next time I am asked something like that, I can just say it’s part of your bride training?”
I thought it was just a small joke on my part.
"Oh! That's a good idea! Please do!"
She claps her hands with her two buttons still undone.
"...Are you sure? I will really end up saying that."
"Is something wrong?"
I am extremely embarrassed when she asks me that with a straight face. Of course, I don’t want her to notice, so I casually untie my waistband to disguise my embarrassment.
"I just remembered. Because I'm going to be called your wife, I was wondering if I should study more about this store."
Another unexpected word comes out from her and I start taking off her blouse again to hide how affected I am by her words.
"...Yosuga? Did I... Did I overstep?"
That's not true.
I want to say that, but my lips tremble instead. Such a future is too happy and makes my heart ache. After losing my brethren and being driven from the Surface, I kept dreaming of the girl who gave me the seashells. And now, that girl is right in front of me.
"...If you're to be my wife, you should learn to take more pleasure."
Feign it. Don't give her the impression that you are about to be swept away by your emotions.
"So mean…Jigoku-dono is really cowardly and cold-hearted. I really...want you to answer me properly."
"No, no, we were in the process of making love in the first place. It's important to know that, so let's talk about it later."
"...Really? Promise? Absolutely?"
Her future is looking to be very busy. She will continue to worship and protect the sun, and become the head of [White]. Someday, she will also return to Tennyo Island and give birth to a child, and even become the wife of the Lord of this place.
But I'm sure everything will come true.
I wrap my fingers around her hair, which has begun to turn pale purple, and kiss it.
I imagine a dazzlingly happy future.
