Side Story Episode 9

“Really? Phew, that’s a relief.”

Dietrich, who had been completely focused on Larit’s reaction, let out a sigh of relief.

“Truly, you have no idea how many cookbooks I’ve studied…”

“…”

Larit’s expression became somewhat awkward.

This is about that, isn’t it?

Back when he proposed, Dietrich had tried to cook for her personally and ended up burning a premium steak completely black.

It seemed that incident had been weighing on his mind.

‘Even so, to think the very first thing he did upon arriving at the villa was prepare a meal.’

Honestly, when they first arrived at Roha Island, Larit had assumed they would be staying at a hotel.

But the place they actually arrived at was a luxurious residence complete with a beautifully landscaped garden and even a carriage.

Well, she could understand that much.

It wouldn’t be strange for House of Claudius to own a villa anywhere in the Empire.

But…

‘Don’t tell me, because it would be difficult to cook personally at a hotel.’

Larit glanced sideways at Dietrich.

‘That’s not why we came to the villa, is it?’

Just then, her eyes met with Dietrich’s.

Dietrich gave her a dazzlingly beautiful eye-smile.

And the moment she saw that smile, Larit’s mind went completely blank.

‘No way. Dietrich couldn’t be that childish, could he?’

Larit smiled back at Dietrich and completely cleared her steak plate.

In any case, the dinner that Dietrich had put his heart into making was very delicious.

‘I’ll go to bed early today, and starting tomorrow I’ll go sightseeing around the area with Dietrich!’

Larit made up her mind firmly.

However, what Larit overlooked was that things in this world don’t always go according to plan…

* * *

“…Mmm.”

A groaning sound escaped from between Larit’s lips.

Her waist ached all over, and her whole body felt stiff.

Her pure white naked body hidden beneath the blanket was covered with reddish marks.

They were traces from the previous night.

‘When… did I fall asleep?’

Larit, who had barely managed to lift her eyelids, thought hazily.

Her memories of last night weren’t very clear.

She only vaguely remembered Dietrich’s arms embracing her body being very hot and firm.

Only the memories of sobbing, panting, and clinging to Dietrich remained like faint afterimages.

And eventually, her consciousness had faded completely in the pleasure that rushed in like a tide.

‘Dietrich is…’

Larit looked around while still lying down.

The space beside her was empty.

Judging by the light filtering through the pure white lace curtains, it seemed quite some time had passed since sunrise.

Click.

Just then, the door opened.

Dietrich, carrying a food tray in his hands, stepped into the bedroom.

His blue eyes discovered Larit, who had just woken up.

“Ah, Larit.”

Unlike Larit, whose whole body ached from the aftermath of last night, Dietrich alone looked very refreshed.

“Are you awake?”

Dietrich, who had stridden over to Larit’s side, set the food tray down on the nightstand beside the bed.

Croissants baked with plenty of butter, salad, bacon, eggs, various fresh fruits, and even coffee.

It was truly a classic breakfast menu.

Since she never expected to receive breakfast in bed,

Larit looked a bit bewildered.

“Did you prepare breakfast too, Dietrich?”

“Of course.”

Dietrich, who sat beside Larit, tidied up his wife’s completely disheveled hair.

His touch as he caressed her cheek and tucked her hair behind her ear was quite affectionate.

“Aren’t you hungry?”

When Dietrich asked that, Larit suddenly realized that she was very hungry.

Larit whined a little.

“I’m hungry.”

Dietrich chuckled and tore off a piece of croissant to feed to Larit.

“Say ah.”

Larit, who unconsciously accepted it, belatedly looked a bit embarrassed and muttered.

“I can eat by myself.”

“I know.”

Dietrich’s smile deepened a little more.

“I just want to feed you myself.”

A little later.

After finishing her meal, Larit sprawled back on the bed.

‘Well, it should be fine to spend the morning leisurely like this, shouldn’t it?’

Thinking that, as she buried her face deep into the cozy blanket,

Smooch.

She felt Dietrich kissing her bare back.

At that ticklish sensation, Larit giggled.

“That tickles, Dietrich.”

From her nape to her shoulder blades, back, and then waist.

The kisses that had been light like falling drizzle gradually became more intense in an instant.

“…”

Larit slightly turned her body to look up at Dietrich.

His blue eyes had already darkened to black.

It was the same gaze Dietrich had when looking at Larit last night.

The two people, meeting each other’s gaze, pressed their lips together without either taking the lead.

Their whole bodies heated up in an instant.

* * *

And so, about two days passed.

“This doesn’t seem right.”

Larit threw up both hands and feet in protest.

“We came all the way to the distant Beritz Archipelago to have fun.”

So what?

As if asking that, Dietrich glanced down at Larit.

For reference, Larit was still nestled tightly in Dietrich’s arms.

Larit made a tearful face and suggested.

“Wouldn’t it be good to do some sightseeing around the area?”

The ‘sightseeing and relaxation’ theme that Larit had decided on by herself had already been long forgotten.

They had spent a full two days only in bed.

Moreover, Larit hadn’t even had a single chance to set foot outside the bed.

“I want to wash up a bit.”

“Is that so?”

Dietrich grinned, then suddenly scooped Larite up in a princess carry.

In the end, Larite ended up receiving personal bathing assistance from Dietrich.

And in the midst of that, the atmosphere became suggestive.

Swept away by the mood, they ended up spending another passionate night together…

“Well, I quite like being alone with just Larit.”

Dietrich held Larite tightly and whispered sweetly.

“If I could, I’d want to stay like this forever.”

“…Dietrich?”

“If we return to Jedo, we’ll just have to deal with all sorts of troublesome matters again.”

Dietrich pouted like a sulky young boy.

‘What should I do.’

Larite gulped nervously.

She couldn’t help being lovestruck.

Larite found Dietrich’s complaining and grumbling to be so…

‘Adorable!’

To think Dietrich had such a childlike side.

And the fact that only Larite could see him like this.

There was something oddly satisfying about that sense of exclusivity.

‘B-but this won’t do.’

Regardless of how cute and lovable Dietrich was, Larite was currently feeling a deep sense of crisis.

A crisis that they might really spend their entire honeymoon just at the villa.

Larite hurriedly opened her mouth.

“Of course I love spending time alone with Dietrich too. I do, but.”

She was being sincere.

The nights with Dietrich were… wonderful.

The problem was they were too wonderful.

‘At this rate, I’m really going to collapse from lack of energy!’

Desperately swallowing down those words that were about to burst from her throat, Larite offered a safe response.

“Actually, I really wanted to visit the Basque Art Museum.”

“…”

Dietrich looked somewhat displeased, but since they didn’t know when they’d be able to visit the Beritz Archipelago again.

He eventually accepted Larite’s request.

And so, a full three days after arriving on Roha Island, Larite was finally able to go on her first outing.

* * *

Roha Island boasted a unique landscape with canals spread throughout the island like a spider web.

So Larite and Dietrich decided to experience Roha Island’s specialty firsthand.

It was a small boat called a gondola.

“Larit.”

Dietrich, who had boarded the boat first, lifted Larite by the waist and set her down inside the gondola.

Then the gondola boatman playfully struck up a conversation with the two.

“You must be newlyweds?”

“Ah…”

Larite’s face felt hot for some reason.

‘That’s right, we really do look like a married couple.’

The thought struck her anew.

Meanwhile, Dietrich calmly nodded.

“Yes, we are married.”

“Your husband is really affectionate. It’s lovely to see.”

The boatman smiled warmly and rowed with vigor.

And so the two began touring various parts of Roha Island by gondola.
