Chapter 275 part 1

After following Amria’s wishes and touring the city of Uminal, we returned to Gudo’s place, had a light dinner, and went to bed early.

Gudo had prepared enough rooms for us, his special guests, in the office of the merchant’s association. Last night, Yachiyo and Fuuko stormed into Amria’s room and slept together as if the three of them were sharing body heat while the three maids and I took rooms on either side of Amria’s room and kept watch.

To be more specific, Kyrlinne and Gundeus were in the rooms on the sides, Lynette on the roof, and I was in the hallway. In fact, the four of us were not resting, but needless to say, we wouldn’t be exhausted by something like that.

After a safe night, we quietly retreated to our own rooms before dawn, not wanting to burden Amria and the others with the fact that we had been guarding them all night.

We would then pretend to be awake and start dressing up at the same time as the people of the merchant’s association would. We began to get ready, but this was the time when I felt rather uncomfortable.
Twelve Winged Generals
Amria and the other two, who had finished getting ready before us, came to my room and engaged in a carefree conversation, not having to worry about the eyes and ears of others.

Amria and her friends were smiling and talking about how the bed felt and what they thought of the dinner prepared by Gudo. When they gave me a sidelong glance, I was being taken care of by Lynette, Kyrlinne, and Gundeus.

I wanted to smile back at Amria and the others as they enjoyed each other’s company, but the three maids surrounding me wouldn’t let me.

Lynette was grooming my tail, Gundeus my wings, and Kyrlinne my horns, all with expressions that could be described as ghoulish or gleeful.

The body of Gwandan, as I am called, was constructed with the magical power of Dran, my real form, so no matter how dirty or damaged it gets, I can reconstruct it to its original state without a single stain or scratch.

Therefore, there was no need to take care of my body, but Lynette and the others were not only eager to do what they could do as maids but also what they could do for me, so I gave in to their enthusiasm and entrusted the care of my parts as a dragon.

Lynette’s eyes seemed to be shining brightly as she reverently lifted the tail extending from the base of my buttocks and meticulously applied a white, viscous liquid with moisturizing properties from the base to the tip of my tail. When it dried, she repeatedly wiped it off with a clean cloth and repeated the process.

This liquid was called “Preserving Scale Fluid,” a beauty treatment developed for Reptilians, Snakemen, or any other scaled humankinds.

It was widely known as an essential product for moisturizing the scales and the skin underneath them and for maintaining the scales’ luster, elasticity, and hardness.

When I was a student at the Galois Town Magic Academy, I learned about the basic ingredients and how to adjust the formula for different races in a pharmacology course.

Even in Bern, considering the coming tourists and the exchange with the Lizardmen who had moved to the Mores mountains, mermaids who lived in the lake, and my fellow Dragonkin, we sold products like this scale fluid and lubricants that helped speed up molting.

The products that Lynette and the two were using on each of my body were the highest quality ones that had been thoroughly tested and confirmed to be safe and cosmetically effective. When I checked with them on the first day of use, they told me that they had not taken the products from the stock but properly purchased them with their paychecks.

Well, Lynette and the two were free to buy whatever they wanted with their paychecks, but if they used it for me, it felt like the purpose of giving them salaries to encourage their independence and autonomy was being defeated… Or maybe it was not… Or maybe it was…

No, no, I should think of it as the children giving a gift to their parent to show their gratitude. That was probably the best way to convince myself.

The wings that Gundeus was in charge of were larger than both of my arms when spread out, and they were the most time-consuming part to groom, considering their surface area.

Likewise, with a ghastly expression, Gundeus handled the white membranes with great care, making sure not to damage them and not to move the wings in the wrong direction where the bones run through. He also applied the same Scale Fluid Lynette was using, then wiped it off and let it soak in.

He was especially focused on the membranes, and I couldn’t help but wonder if he thought that the slightest mistake in the pressure of his fingertips would cause a hole to open up.

It was hard to believe that this was the same woman who had reveled in the cruel pleasure of watching enemy soldiers being blown to bits by her own artillery fire on the battlefield with a smile of joy on her face.

Of the three maid sisters, Kyrlinne was the most relaxed while working, but she had her own problems.

I was being groomed by all three of them. I was sitting with my back to the back of the chair because of my tail. Lynette and Gundeus were behind me, and Kyrlinne was in front of me, grooming my horns.

However, Kyrlinne had a body part that was very different from Lynette and Gundeus in one respect. This particular body part was currently causing me great distress.

As a man, it would be frowned upon for me to mention it, so I would rather not, but I couldn’t help but say something. Oh, I’m glad Selina and the others were not here. Lynette and Amria were here, though!

As a man, it is frowned upon to mention it, so I would prefer not to, but I cannot help but mention it. Oh, I am glad Selina and the others are not here. Lynette and Amria are here, though!

「Kyrlinne, Kyrlinne, Hello?」

My face was covered with something soft and fluffy, making it difficult for me to speak! Lynette and Gundeus were usually the first to notice me, but right now, they were so busy grooming my tail and wings that they didn’t notice what Kyrlinne was doing. Hmm!

「What is it, Master Gwandan? Ufufu, your horns are so shiny and cool~!

Kirrinne’s cheerful voice, like the warm spring sunshine, was something I could listen to forever if not for the “current situation.” As someone who considered himself her parent, I couldn’t help but wonder about this “current situation.”

「Kyrlinne, I hate to tell you this, but your breasts have been pressed against my face for some time now. I think a girl of your age should refrain from this kind of behavior toward the opposite sex…”

Yes, a situation that I had read about many times in books for adolescent teenagers at the Magic Academy was happening to me. To be specific, Kyrlinne’s ample breasts were pressed up against my face.

Of all the rooms in this house where there were only women, I had to say this!

Even though I, as Gwandan, have a sensibility closer to that of a dragon than Dran, because I am a Dragonian, I cannot help but feel a sense of shame in this situation.

「Muffufu, I’m not pressing them against you, I’m burying them in you~. This is my greatest weapon, something that Gundeus and Lynette do not have! I have to take full advantage of this time when I can touch you so openly.”

「What do you mean by “taking advantage of me?”」

「I’m going to go all out and break out of my shell!」

「Huh…?」

There couldn’t have been a more succinct and direct way to express my feelings. Kyrlinne, was that what you were thinking about when you said “break out of your shell”?

「I’ve been slowly but surely preparing myself for the day when I send you off to be married.」

「Hmm, but I don’t think there’s anyone more wonderful than you, so I don’t have any problems being your daughter, sister, and lover all at the same time~」

「I think it’s ethically and morally questionable, and to me, you’re still my daughter or sister.」

Kirrinne didn’t change her attitude when I told her that. She must have known that this was how I saw her, and that’s why she was acting this way. I see. Hmm.

「Let’s take it slow~. Besides, I think Serina, Dramina, and Mama would come first.」

「Even though you say that, there’s a glint in your eyes like a predator watching for an opportunity. Oh dear, I thought you were growing up to be a laid-back person, but it seems you have the makings of a hunter or a warrior after all.」

「Girls have secrets and unexpected sides.」

「I’ve heard that women are more attractive the more secrets they have, but it’s a pain when your own family members are keeping secrets from you.」

「Well, now that one of your secrets is out, please accept it with an open heart~」

I decided to change my approach and pointed out the inefficiency of pressing her chest against my face. Kyrlinne, who had been smiling happily until now, groaned.

I figured that since she was here as a maid, she might feel guilty about inconveniencing me for her own sake, and it seemed that I was right.

「Muuumu, I didn’t want you to notice that… you are so unromantic sometimes.

No, I didn’t think this was being unromantic… Lynette and Gundeus, who had been absorbed in grooming my tail and wings, finally seemed to notice the cute complaint in a little voice of Kyrlinne. They both raised their brows and started complaining.

「Kyrlinne, you should not be so disrespectful to Master Gwandan. You’re supposed to devote yourself in grooming him, but this is going too far.」

「Kyrlinne, you should switch places with me. What kind of shameless grooming is that?」

「Gundeus!」

「Huh!? I just… slipped up…」

Oh my Gundeus… I couldn’t blame Lynette for scolding her like that.

「Gundeus, I don’t remember raising you to be like this… no, I didn’t raise you at all.」
