Chapter 11: [Short Story] The Ideal Partner |
Shizuko POV
It's great~! I have so much fun every day.
"Shizuko-san, it seems like you are in a good mood. Is something wrong?"
No, it's not "something's wrong."
It's because Ceres-kun is here.
"Heheheh, you know! Because Ceres-kun is here."
They say it's called a "morning shampoo."
Ceres-kun washes my hair with his special hair wash and combs it dry with his wind magic.
It feels so good.
Most certainly.
And I heard that the village head's son and his wife are very close, but that's nothing compared to this.
So, who wouldn't be in a good mood now?
"I feel very happy to hear that. It's very rewarding."
Really, my son and his friends have no manners at all.
I don't want to speak ill of other people's children, but they didn't even thank Ceres-kun for all the help he's given them.
If Haruka-san (Lida's mother) saw her daughter, she'd slap her.
Of course, I'd give Zect a good slap, too.
"Thank you so much. That felt good."
"Your welcome, then I'll get the food ready, and you can use the lotion as I taught you."
"Yes."
This lotion is amazing. It soaks into the skin and feels so good.
Everything from herbs to medicinal herbs is originally mixed by Ceres-kun.
I've always thought he was a very good boy, but he's getting better and better.
After the lotion is applied, Ceres-kun also prepares handmade cologne.
It smells like herbs and makes me feel so good.
"Shizuko-san, breakfast is ready."
We take turns cooking, but... it's funny.
After all, most men don't do that like Sector and Zect, who would even ask me to cook even though I was lying in bed with a fever.
They have no consideration for me at all.
And then there was Ceres-kun.
He said, "I want to see Shizuko-san's happy face, so let me cook...".
There's no one like that in the world.
And since the guy is young and good-looking, how could I not smile?
How can I not be in a good mood with such a debauched life?
"Yes, it's so sweet and delicious... it's like eating at a fancy restaurant."
"It's a little bit of French toast, tomato soup with chicken and vegetables, and Meunier of river fish, so it's completely cut corners. Just like at the inn, Shizuko-san compliments me too much."
"No, you never cease to amaze me, Ceres-kun."
"But I prefer the food Shizuko-san cooks for me because it has a nostalgic taste."
"Yes, I'll make you any food you want if it's that good."
"Well then, I'll be looking forward to lunch."
"Heheh, I'll do my best to make it."
I have always had a smile on my face.
Even when things are bad, it's better to smile.
That's what Sayo-san (Mel's mother) taught me.
But... it was a fake smile, and I rarely smiled from the heart.
But with Ceres-kun, it's completely different.
Every day is fun from the bottom of my heart, and I don't think no woman doesn't fall in love with him because he is so kind and wants me so much at night.
It makes me smile with all my heart.
Now, I don't care about Sector or Zect anymore.
No, maybe I'm not a mother anymore.
If Zect and Ceres-kun were dying, I would take Ceres-kun without hesitation.
Because I am Ceres-kun's woman.
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Leave it to me."
No one is more important than Ceres-kun, who smiles and smiles at me.

'One for four! Four for one!'
We vowed... to share our joys and our sorrows together.
If it's Ceres-kun...
Well, they liked him, so it's okay.
Still, he would be surprised.
