"Hmm hmm~ It's been a long time since I cooked something. I hope it turned out great."
After getting back to my mansion with Milea in my arms, I entered my room and prepared for dinner. The sky had turned orange already, and I bet Eliza and the others were hungry.
As for Milea… Her punishment still continued in my room. I bound her arms above her head with rope onto my bed and let the rotor stimulate her clitoris. Her legs were also bound, so she couldn't move at all.
That was why I was cooking dinner right now. So that after dinner, I could visit my cheeky nun and relieve myself with her wet and drenched pussy. That would be fun.
Anyway, Mia didn't seem to return yet. As for the other, they began to return one after another. The first one was Eliza, and she went to the backyard. She probably went to see Astro.
Garcia and the other two arrived at the mansion not long after that. They immediately went inside the mansion. Both Cecil and Vivian sat in the living room while the perverted nun walked toward me.
Nothing was unusual, so I continued to cook the last meal before putting them on the plate. At that time, the kitchen door was opened, and Garcia emerged.
"Sir Arthur?" She raised her voice in surprise, "What are you doing here? I meant… May I ask why you were plating the food instead of resting in your room? We, the nun, could do it for you."
"It's okay, Garcia." I smiled at her, took off the apron I wore, and put it in the inventory after cleaning it with <Purification>.
"I am punishing Milea right now, so she can't cook. Besides, this is rather fun and refreshing. It's been a long time since I cooked my own meal. I made sure to cook the nuns' portion too."
"Sir Arthur…!"
Garcia immediately understood what I meant by punishing Milea and nodded.
"If that's the case, please allow me to bring the dishes to the dining room. Please feel free to rest and have a nice chat with Lady Vivian and Miss Cecil. I believe they are in the living room right now. I will bring some tea later."
"Thank you, Garcia."
I smiled and patted her, and she purred happily in response. As expected from my perverted nun, she could understand what I was thinking the best.
After praising her, I went along with her suggestion and went to the living room. It had been a few days since Vivian lived in my mansion, and it was the best time to ask how she was doing and make some progress with her.
When I arrived in the living room, I noticed that both women, Vivian and Cecil, were talking rather closely as they sat beside each other on a long couch. It was as if they were already friends for so long.
The light from the chandelier above illuminated the room with its warm white light.
'Maybe that's as expected when the social flower of the Virtue Kingdom meets with the pirate scammer who can speak to almost all people to believe her.'
Both of their communication skills were really high, so they had a lot of topics to cover, just like what currently happened.
"So you were already sailing on the sea for a few years now?"
"Indeed. I've been sailing with my brother since I was 10, but he strayed in the path I didn't agree with and left me behind, so I decided to follow Arthur to this city."
"Poor you. Don't worry too much about it. If you need help, just ask me, okay? Even if this old lady has no real power anymore, at least many of my friends will still be willing to help."
"Old lady? You are still beautiful, Vivian." Cecil chirped. "And I thank you for your kindness."
"My, fufufu. You're welcome."
They giggled with each other.
The sight of two older girls getting along was nice. Cecil also wore something modest compared to her bikini, a white skirt and a red cropped top. Still, I never expected Cecil to get used to this place that fast. It had just been a few hours since she arrived here.
'It's probably thanks to Garcia taking her out with Vivian at the same time. Cecil got herself, someone, to talk to, and the same could be said for Vivian.'
Thinking so, I announced my presence by knocking on the wooden pillar three times.
"Good evening, Madam Vivian." I greeted the older woman first before turning to the tanned minotaur girl. "And hello, Cecil."
Both of them turned to me and greeted me back.
"Good evening, Arthur. Welcome back."
"Oh! You're here already. Hello."
I approached them and sat on the sofa on the side.
"How have you been, Madam? I am sorry that I was unable to be a good host and stay for the first day of your move. There was something urgent that needed my attention as a Paladin."
"It's not a problem." Vivian smiled warmly and held her cheek with her hand. "Though my daughter complained about you not being here a lot, fufu."
I could imagine that. Eliza complaining about me not being there when she just moved to this mansion was surely something that could happen.
So I only laughed wryly at her words, especially since the said girl was currently standing outside the door and was eavesdropping on our conversation.
Why did she not just enter the living room? That way, she could also join our conversation without needing to be so secretive.
That was why I decided to play a little.
"I need to say sorry to Eliza. Due to my position, I might need to go to another city again shortly. It's a shame that she's not here right now to talk to me and have a dinner toget–"
Bam!
"Good evening!"
Just right before I finished, the door was opened hard from outside, and Eliza barged inside, still in her school uniform. She was smiling from ear to ear, but I noticed an uncomfortable, worried look as she glanced at me subtly.
We welcomed her with laughter as Vivian noticed that I was just joking just to make Eliza enter the room. Cecil didn't understand at first, but she nodded and looked at Eliza with pity as she fell to my provocation.
"Good evening, Eliza." I smiled at the tsundere. "It's nice to see you again."
"U-Un. It's good to see– Not. What do you mean by going to another city again?"
"Ah, you were listening?" I asked, pretending to be oblivious. "Just as you know, I am a Paladin now and am busy with various tasks from the church."
"But you just returned!"
When she raised her voice as if she was protesting, I couldn't hold it any longer and burst into laughter. Then I proceeded to tell her that it was all a joke, and she pouted while sitting on my lap as if it was natural.
Of course, she gasped and realized what she had just done before scooting away to the empty couch with a bright red face.
Vivian giggled at Eliza's cute reaction while Cecil muttered something incomprehensible without me heightening my senses.
After a few minutes of talking and teasing Eliza and her mom, Garcia entered the living room and said the dinner was served. We moved to the dining room and ate. Everyone was surprised when the perverted nun told them that I was the one who cooked the dinner, then they began to praise me.
Even the tsundere Eliza also praised the food I cooked, making me proud of my skill.
It had been a long time since I had time like this that I didn't even check on my <Presence Detection> radar as no enemy was in range. If there was a red dot or someone hostile to me, it would definitely send an alarm to my head.
I also didn't heighten my senses because I wanted to rest after fighting 2 Boss-rank monsters, finding something scary beyond the World-End Waterfall, having sex with the Goddess in Sana's body, and even punishing Milea.
That was my biggest mistake. Because when I returned back to my room, I noticed that no one was on my bed. It was still wet and warm from Milea's love juices, but the figure of the petite nun was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a letter.
The letter only had a few words written in blood.
