Chapter 48

Here, there is one person who is flustered by an unfamiliar culture encountered without warning.

That person’s name is Daisy Pager.

That’s me.

“- — – -!”

“- — – -!”

This situation where suspicious-looking people are welcoming Lu at first glance. In such a bewildering situation, objective judgment and observation skills are necessary.

I calmly looked around and organized my thoughts.

Location?

‘The airship Lu summoned. It’s small in size, but judging from its overall appearance, it doesn’t look mass-produced. It must be expensive.’

Time?

‘2:30 PM. On the way back to Midwintry.’

Situation?

‘Upon boarding the airship, strange people are kneeling and shouting while welcoming Lu.’

Opponents?

‘About thirty people. Foreigners. Wearing white northern-style clothes with white veils, so only their chins are visible. Mostly men. About two women.’

Northern-style clothing.

‘…Right, looking closely, all those people are wearing Northern Continental Union style clothes, aren’t they?’

And it wasn’t modern clothing, but closer to traditional clothing I’d only seen in childhood books.

Long, wide sleeves that could cover hands and narrow waistlines. Belts and earrings decorated with pearls and gold.

Moreover, with all thirty people wearing the same color, it felt like they were performing some religious ceremony.

Summary in one line here.

‘Thirty foreigners gathered together displaying behavior resembling a religious ceremony.’

Conclusion reached.

‘…A cult!’

My goodness, Lu. I had my suspicions, but you really were a cult leader!

With the desire to get confirmation for my logical deduction, I looked at Lu.

However, contrary to expectations, Lu, who was the subject of this welcome, showed no reaction whatsoever.

If he had looked around at the people with an arrogant expression as if this grand welcome was natural, it would have added credibility to my deduction.

He quietly passed between the hooded figures lined up on both sides, as if he couldn’t see anything.

His steps showed neither arrogance nor a sense of entitlement.

Was my guess wrong?

‘Then what are these people exactly?’

Why is their welcome so grand?

The atmosphere felt a bit strange. No, not a bit – very strange.

The rigid atmosphere like soldiers. Blind shouts calling for a hero of troubled times. A submissive posture as if showing respect before a conqueror.

All of this exists in this one place. How could it not be strange?

And above all.

“Kalerpa! Kalerpa! Kalerpa!”

That word they’ve been chanting endlessly from some point on.

‘Kalerpa?’

Could it be Lu’s real name?

I turned my head again to look at Lu.

Walking steadily forward without wavering, he had already returned to his original appearance.

Rustle.

Following Lu, I passed through cloth embroidered with gold thread on a white background and moved to a deeper space in the airship.

After passing through about four more cloths with different patterns carved on them, the surroundings instantly became quiet.

Then a fantastic scenery I’d never seen before appeared.

Against glass walls as a backdrop, a greenhouse tinted with green light.

“Wow.”

A small bird with red tail feathers flew overhead.

Through the refreshing bird chirps, I could hear the sound of a stream flowing gently.

The airship was clearly an isolated space, and even though water was flowing in such a place, I didn’t feel any humid air at all.

Beyond the glass walls were vast skies and forests.

Below my feet was a small greenhouse that seemed to contain a heavenly garden.

‘Just how much money was poured into this airship?’

Perhaps Lu is much wealthier than I expected.

Then, unfamiliar presences began gathering around Lu who was walking ahead.

There were three people who entered silently like shadows.

Like those who had welcomed Lu, they were armed in white from head to toe, and they stuck close to Lu’s side and began carefully moving their hands.

They began undressing him.

‘Are they crazy?’

Why are they undressing him in front of me?

Lu was even leisurely moving toward the inside of the greenhouse, regardless of whether others were undressing him or not.

This kind of contact seemed natural.

‘I guess it’s the way things are done here. Since Lu is allowing it, I can’t be displeased either.’

In any case, I’m in a position where I’m getting a free ride on this airship.

Since it would be awkward to watch him undress, I should just look around the greenhouse.

But despite such resolve, I couldn’t take my eyes off Lu for quite a while.

‘…Hmm.’

Because those guys were touching even Lu’s inappropriate areas.

Each one carefully. As if treating a young child who couldn’t even control their own body properly!

‘They go that far?’

Could Lu be some young master from a household where they even spoon-feed him?

Lu even seemed completely uninterested in wherever or however those perverted guys touched him. From the looks of it, this wasn’t his first or second time experiencing this.

If it’s a family tradition, I as an outsider should understand.

‘I don’t want to understand.’

Unpleasant enough that I don’t want to, bothering me for no reason, somehow more and more, increasingly annoying.

Why is it unpleasant? Because I think I’d be unpleasant if I were in Lu’s position? Or is it disgusting to see a grown man being treated like a child before my eyes?

‘I don’t know.’

One thing is certain.

It’s irritating. I want to make them stop.

Then there was only one choice I could make.

“Hands off.”

The three men and women who had momentarily stopped moving looked at me.

I declared to them.

“I’ll undress him.”

“…”

“From now on, I’ll take charge of Lu’s changing clothes. It’s repayment for the free airship ride. Refusal is refused.”

Ah, these people were foreigners. Do they not understand the language?

My worry was unfounded. The man who had been most enthusiastically undressing Lu bit his lower lip and glared at me.

“How impudent. To commit such blasphemy before Kalerpa…”

Blasphemy?

‘Is it blasphemous for an outsider to undress Lu here?’

What strange rules they have.

But the man didn’t stop at reproaching me.

“Pay for your blasphemy with death!”

Death?

“No, that’s a bit much.”

The man’s body shot toward me. Reflexively, I slapped the man’s cheek.

This is self-defense. I can’t just die because someone tells me to, right?

“Kuk.”

The pervert’s body swayed slightly.

However, not losing his tenacity, he pretended to fall while stepping forward to grab my neck, so I slapped his other cheek too.

The man fainted.

“….”

“….”

“….”

In the lengthening silence.

I defended myself in a crawling voice.

“Self-defense.”

The remaining two looked at me with disbelieving eyes, then flinched and turned their heads away with trembling shoulders.

They just swallowed dry saliva while tightly gripping both sides of Lu’s half-stripped shirt sleeves.

“…Ha.”

What replaced the silence was a short burst of laughter.

No, the laughter I thought would end shortly soon continued into long guffaws.

I stared blankly at Lu’s face as he shook his shoulders, laughing uncontrollably.

It was the first time I’d seen Lu laugh so defensively, so I wondered if I was seeing things.

Lu, who had been venting his emotions to his heart’s content, suddenly stopped laughing.

He watched me with a strange expression, slowly wiping the corner of his mouth, then threw the shirt that was cumbersomely hanging on his arms far away.

After majestically removing his upper garment.

Lu turned my body completely toward him. And then.

“Miss Daisy.”

Enough to send long chills down my back as we faced each other. With eyes that were madly joyful and happy, he stroked my cheek.

“If you wanted to undress me so badly, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Shyness and madness.

Faced with that ecstatic beauty clearly tinged with both emotions, I was momentarily speechless.

You’re not Morian right now. You’re not even Morian, so why are you making that expression?

What is this. Something. Something. It felt like I had lifted a curtain that didn’t need to be lifted.

When I hesitantly stepped back, Lu let go of his hand.

He turned his head and lightly gestured with his chin toward the two perverts. It was a signal to leave.

“But Kalerpa.”

“We came to serve Kalerpa….”

When Lu closed his mouth and stared intently, the two men and women’s chatter stopped.

The moment they gasped and inhaled, they quickly bowed their heads. After kneeling once and barely managing to bow, they disappeared from the greenhouse.

A bird cried somewhere.

Lu, who had been staring expressionlessly at that somewhere, turned to look at me very slowly. Then he suddenly spread both arms and said this nonsense.

“Come on, I’m ready, so strip off the rest too.”

Today too, I contemplate.

Lu is a crazy bastard.

Moreover, he’s such a crazy bastard that it’s a waste to even spend the three syllables of “crazy bastard.”

So from now on, I’ll abbreviate “crazy bastard” and “are you crazy” to just “cra.”

“Cra? Mr. Lu, undress yourself.”
