I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 70 - The Ephemeral Aegis

On our way back to the mansion, we check some usual notice boards and other spots where our posters are located. I notice some people pointing their fingers at our trio as we replace the old ones with the updated versions. Looks like the main poster girls got recognized. That's good. More word of mouth marketing.

Afterwards, we return home without anything major happening. Walking through the entrance, we meet our new canine maid waiting with Roseni in the lobby.

"Welcome back, Master. And you too, Safi, Emi," the elf lady makes a slight bow and Rene follows the motion.

"We are back. Are you two waiting for us perhaps? What's in that box?" I point at the small package in Rene's hands.

"Yes! It's for you, Master!" she replies cheerfully while her tail swishes energetically behind her back. "A cloaked man came to deliver it. He said it's from your noble friends. Where should I put it?"

「Oh? Something from Ross? Interesting.」

"I can take it from you. I'm sure you are busy with the preparations for the night. There's no need to hand me my mail directly. Just drop it into my chambers in the future."

Stepping closer, I receive the package from Rene and ruffle through her hair with my free hand, evoking a blissful smile from the adorable dogkin. She got comfortable with our home very quickly after arriving here and I can now even enjoy some pleasant petting like this.

"We'll return to our responsibilities then, Master," Roseni says with a soft smile. "That is if you release Rene from your affectionate prison. I'm not sure she can break out from this pleasure by herself, fufufu~"

I chuckle seeing the melting expression of the girl experiencing my caresses and draw my hand back. A very quiet whine accompanies the motion. Gods... She's just so pure and adorable I can barely hold back from petting her more...

Fortunately, Roseni doesn't miss the opportunity and takes Rene with her, heading into one of the corridors. Safi and Emi receive some more parting mana-tickles and I walk to my room to check the contents of the package.

Using a small dagger, I carefully cut it open. The wrapping was very soft, pretty much without any solid parts, so I assumed that I'm dealing with something made out of thread, and that guess proves to be right as I pull out a set of clothing from inside.

Arranging all the parts on my bed, I'm met with something akin to scholarly robes in the colours of the kingdom, which are mostly blue, grey and white. It looks similar to some outfits I've seen people wear around the castle, especially the library.

「Looks like we are going full undercover. Alastair the Court Scholar, heh. I guess this will make my identity more believable. My F-rank won't raise any suspicion with this getup. I'm sure not many of the castle's researchers have time to raise it or even register.」

I throw the clothes into my storage ring for later use. I'm looking forward to this already. It's been so long since I roleplayed. And I'll even be in cosplay this time! This will be fun. Should I prepare a fake personality? A backstory? Should I write a character sheet like in the good, old times? Man, I miss playing D&D. Maybe I should host a session with the girls someday. I wonder if they would be interested.

Anyway, it's past afternoon and I shouldn't be wasting time. Without any further ado, I start my usual routine of checking on all the girls and seeing if they need any help. Everything seems to be fine and all the rooms are good to be used too.

The time to open arrives and we dive into the usual. It's getting really lively with all the girls around now. Of course, with those who want to show themselves in the lobby or accompany the guests. Almost everyone from the working cast is present in the main hall and the sight of so many different and colourful ladies in one place is just breathtaking.
