CHAPTER 316: CHAPTER 24 - DAILY DOSE OF LILYASMA

After removing some evidence of the war crimes that had not yet begun, I went with Sebastian into a basement to place the dried meat that my father had ordered.

Alice and Alyssa also entered the basement because the dried meat my father ordered was in their magic storage box.

By letting my father and mother clean up what they had done before, I felt that my job was much easier.

Technically, it was something my mother had done and was considered an unforgivable war crime under the laws of war in the Aurora Kingdom.

However, it would be a common occurrence when a war was about to start, and some parties would try to attack first.

This time, several noble factions have attacked Marquess Rommel’s residence through the intermediary of the Dark Guild and adventurers who are under contract with the Dark Guild.

If what Helena said was true, the Adventurer Guild Cleaners who were on duty should have immediately rushed to do something when the political situation in the Aurora Kingdom became heated and in conflict with each other.

Letting my Mother take care of this kind of thing, along with the stealth slime herd, it seemed like my Mother was teaching them something important, as if they were a second-generation Black Maid unit that was receiving training from my Mother directly.

Just imagining it gives me goosebumps.

Whoosh...

Swwuusshh...

While my body was shivering from something else, I suddenly felt a cold wind coming in through the gaps in the air vents that were connected to this basement.

The sensation of the cold air made me, who was thinking about the development of the stealth slime abilities, shiver, coinciding with the cold air that blew against my body.

"Lily-sama, are you feeling cold?" Sebastian asked, seemingly noticing my goosebumps.

"Yes, I feel that this basement is suitable for storing dried meat for a long time, Sebastian," I replied while following Sebastian’s footsteps as he entered the deepest part of the basement.

I also just learned that Marquess Rommel’s Main Mansion has a basement that is specifically used to store bottles of old wine and dried food in large quantities.

The magic lantern that I am carrying continues to illuminate the old wooden wine barrel that is still tightly sealed.

"Even the old wine in this place is well preserved. It makes me curious about the taste of the wine that was once used to splash my face and hit me with a throw that made me faint when I was little," I continued, remembering an incident that had happened to me in the past, events unfold quickly at the royal family party.

"Wait a minute, when I was a child, it should have only been grape juice that the former Crown Prince drank, right?" I muttered with this in mind as I walked into a room filled with piles of meat tightly bound by thick cloth.

"That was a long time ago, Lily-sama. It must have been your most terrifying experience for you to still remember it until now," Sebastian replied, seemingly understanding what had happened to me in the past.

"Yes, it was a valuable experience for me that is hard to forget. I mean, who doesn’t remember being humiliated at a royal family party by the former Crown Prince who would become the next King," I replied with a sarcastic smile at this.

"It also made Marquess Rommel, who was busy taking care of the legalities of his second marriage, feel guilty for letting Lily-sama attend the royal family party just to show that Marquess Rommel’s family was still on the side of the royal family."

Just as the conversation was heading towards something interesting, I suddenly saw a room filled with Butlers and Maids on duty wearing casual clothes along with white aprons covering their front bodies.

Our footsteps entered the room that looked busy, and we saw several magic lanterns burning brightly to illuminate the underground room that would be filled with dried meat.

"Alice-sama... Alyssa-sama..." calling out to my twin sisters and bowing respectfully, Sebastian instructed them to bring out the dried meat my father had ordered.

Alice and Alyssa immediately entered the middle of the room to bring out the dried meat that my father had ordered.

Without wasting any more time, Alice and Alyssa took out the dried meat that was in their magic storage box.

Swiirrll...

Plluukk...

Plaaak...

With the magic circle that formed their magic storage box chanting, I also saw some dried meat falling from the magic circle that Alice and Alyssa had formed.

The dried meat piled up like a mountain filled this large room in an instant and made the people who were in charge of wrapping this meat feel amazed.

"As expected of Alice-sama and Alyssa-sama, they both seem to have an unlimited magic storage box, just like Marchioness Amagi," Sebastian said as if praising my twin sister.

"They both can be relied upon for anything related to magic. However, there is a price to pay for their brilliant expertise in the field of magic, like their ability to understand things differently from normal people," I replied to Sebastian’s previous statement.

"Aahh... that’s because Alice-sama and Alyssa-sama only want to study magic together with their beloved older sister. If they study with other magic teachers without their beloved older sister’s company, it will make Alice-sama and Alyssa-sama lazy."

"Haha..." I replied to Sebastian’s words with a small, suppressed laugh.

What Sebastian said, I have been aware of it for a long time.

Alice and Alyssa are twin sisters who are geniuses in the field of magic. However, that cannot be separated from my presence in participating in their magic learning sessions. If I weren’t beside them to learn magic, the two of them would just laze around and force me to teach them.

I was forced to become a magic mentor who used the translation of the magic book belonging to the Great Hero in the past and tried to understand every meaning implied in the handwriting of the Great Hero.

The impact of forced magic learning like that, I felt stressed with magic theory and preferred fighting using katana rather than casting magic.

There are a few situations that require me to use my magical abilities, but they are far too few compared to using my katana at close range.

Pluukk...

Pluukkk...

The last dried meat came out of the magic circle connected to Alice and Alyssa’s magic storage box, which made several Butlers and Maids immediately take charge of arranging some of the dried meat into special cloths.

Alice and Alyssa approached me with teary eyes about this.

"Onee-sama... I have done my job well!"

"Can Onee-sama give me a special reward?" Alice asked with sparkling eyes.

Kirraa...

Kirraa...

Alice’s sparkling eyes silenced all the butlers and maids working in the room for a moment. They seemed to be waiting to see what I would do to Alice, who was expecting a reward for herself.

I immediately reached out my hand to Alice’s cheek and stroked it while giving her gentle praise.

Caress...

Caress...

"Good job, Alice. Make sure you’re as reliable as this when our military expedition begins," I praised Alice while stroking her soft, cool cheek.

"Ehehe... Onee-sama," Alice accepted the stroke of my hand on her soft cheek and smiled happily until my ears heard the sound of someone choking.

I glanced at the Butlers and Maids, who seemed to be fewer in number than before, and I saw one of the Butlers suddenly fall to the floor with a smiling face and a nose that looked like it was bleeding.

I could even see a maid standing quietly, but her nose was bleeding slowly, like she was holding back a nosebleed.

Caress...

Caress...

My hand, which was touching Alice’s soft cheek, was stopped by Alyssa’s hand pulling, and her cheeks were puffed up, so they looked cute.

"Lily-nee... have you forgotten that you still have another younger sister that you need to take care of, too? I also want to get my daily dose of Lilyasma!" Alyssa shouted, looking annoyed that I only cared about Alice.

I almost forgot about my twin sisters, who often demanded the same things, especially since I had been showering them with such pampering and affectionate touches. Even in a cold underground meat storage area like this.

Alice and Alyssa call this their daily dose of Lilyasma.

I don’t know what happened to them both, it seems like my name and the touch that pampered them until they happy like this was twisted into Lilyasma.

If it were a deadly disease or a drug that my twin sister was addicted to, I would have a hard time giving Lilyasma every day.

"Lily-nee... It’s my turn, right?" Alyssa asked, puffing out her cheeks even wider and cuter.

Kyuutt...

Kyyuutt...

My hand, which was being held by Alyssa, went to her cheeks, which were puffing up cutely.

My fingers suddenly touched Alyssa’s puff cheek and felt a cute tenderness that came from one of my younger twin sisters, who looked like she was jealous of her twin sister.

Caress...

Caress...

While moving my hand to caress her soft cheek, I also listened to Alyssa’s request, which sounded so cute that it made several Butlers and Maids in this room fall.

"Lily-nee... please praise me..." Alyssa asked with a cute expression on her face.

My body suddenly got goosebumps after seeing Alyssa’s cute request, and it made me give her a compliment that made her feel happy.

"You did a good job, too, Alyssa. You even helped me pick up the order of dried meat that our father asked for," I said in a gentle tone while giving Alyssa the praise she wanted.

"You’re my reliable younger sister, but you’ll still be like this when our military expedition begins, huh?" I continued, giving another compliment that made Alyssa feel happy.

Caress...

Caress...

With the praise that I gave, at least it has made my twin sisters feel happy, and their mood is good.

Duugghh...

Buugghh...

While I was giving Alyssa a gentle caress on the cheek along with the praise she asked for, I suddenly heard several Butlers and Maids lying unconscious on the cold basement floor.

That also made Sebastian rub his forehead as if he were looking at something that had triggered a feeling of dizziness in his head.
