After leaving the bathroom, I immediately went to the lobby and stood near the entrance, pretending to look at a picture while waiting for Vivian and Cecil to enter.
Before long, the door was opened, and three people appeared from it. They were Vivian, Cecil, and Eliza.
"Welcome back, everyone."
I turned around and smiled.
Vivian smiled widely, looking satisfied with her skin glistening from sweat. She was wearing a halter-neck blue dress. Her cleavage was not that exposed compared to the white dress she wore before, but the dress was tight, clinging to her skin tight, and showed her curvy body.
"Fufufu, we are back." She replied with a cute giggle, holding her cheek with one hand.
Beside her was Eliza, smiling wryly with her uniform stained with mud. It seemed like Astro liked the snack too much and pushed her down, causing her to fall into the mud.
"Hahaha… I will take a shower!" Shouting so, Eliza ran to the second floor with an embarrassed face.
"Truly, that girl… When will she mature?" Vivian muttered with a troubled tone, but then her face brightened again as she stepped to the side. "More importantly, Arthur. What do you think?"
She gestured for me to see the girl behind her.
Standing behind her was the minotaur girl with massive breasts, Cecil. However, her style was different from usual, and her chocolate-colored face had a red tint all the way to her hanging ears.
"Don't look at me too much, boy!" Cecil shouted in embarrassment as she averted her eyes, making her look cute.
Usually, a tall woman like her wouldn't look cute, or so I said, especially since she wore something that could be described as cool.
Her green hair was tied in a bun, and she wore a red crop top and long black skinny pants extended to just below her knees, hiding the pink crest with my name above her crotch. Her tail moved back and forth behind her, looking happy even though she was embarrassed.
"It's hard to make her wear a dress. She said it was too frilly and hot. So I thought it would be fine that as long as the clothes covered a lot of her skin, it was still way better than just Bikinis, and we settled with this look. What do you think, Arthur?"
Vivian looked at me with a proud face. It was as if she wanted to show me her artwork, but it was just her sense of fashion this time.
"Don't look at me…" Cecil muttered in a low voice once again as she held one arm with her hand, pushing her massive breasts up. They bounced just with the slightest movement.
"You look beautiful, Cecil." I praised her honestly.
The way some of her hair strands fell down her nape looked really sexy. Her sweat, dripping down the curve of her neck to her chest, just added to her beauty. If Vivian wasn't here, I would pull that crop top down, use the breasts as a pillow, and sleep on it.
But I held back. Seeing her embarrassed face was enough for me.
"I will take a bath."
Just like Eliza, Cecil tried to escape. But… Vivian didn't allow her to.
"Not so fast, Cecil." The older woman took Cecil's hand and stopped her. "You should spin once first! Let him see you entirely!"
"I won't!" The minotaur girl refused and swung her hand. She then ran toward the bathroom with heavy footsteps. Even while wearing high heels, she had no trouble running.
"How troubling. It's like I have two daughters now. One is my biological, and one is a big girl just a few years younger than me."
'Like a daughter, huh?' I smiled wryly as I approached Vivian.
"Don't worry too much, Madam. Cecil seems to be happy with her new clothes. Her tail is moving around earlier."
"That's why it's troubling." Vivian turned to me. "I think Cecil is slowly turning into the 2nd Eliza. She can't be honest with her feelings."
"Ah, so it's about that." I nodded in understanding.
Indeed. Since she arrived in this mansion, Cecil has acted really strange. Her brash and courageous self seemed to be gone, and she acted like a typical girl.
Was there a reason why she did that? She looked like she was forcing herself to act that way, and I didn't like it if she forced herself.
"I will try to talk to her later, Madam."
By now, Cecil probably noticed the cum-covered Garcia and Milea in the bath and felt like she wanted to do it with me later. I believed Garcia would do her job well to guide Cecil into an aroused state just by whispering some sweet words.
My Half-Succubus nun was truly good at doing that.
"Please do. I don't really know Cecil before she arrives here, after all. So I can't judge whether she's okay or not." She confessed worriedly. "Please help her, Arthur."
"No problem." I nodded at her once again with a reassuring smile. "Cecil is someone important to me, so I don't want to see her uncomfortable in my house either, so I will try to see what I can do for her."
"You're really a good boy, Arthur."
'A good boy, huh?'
To think she would say I was a good boy even after that night. I didn't know whether Vivian had a large heart to forgive and think everything positively or she just blamed herself for peeping on Eliza and me.
But… I knew one thing. And that was…
"And you're a good mother, Madam."
When she heard my reply, I noticed her body jolted a little, and her smile faltered. I knew what she was thinking about what happened last night. I just needed a little push, and she would be unable to hold herself back anymore.
'Cecil as her daughter, huh?' I repeated in my mind as I bowed slightly.
That had already decided my plan after returning from that place. It wouldn't be long before Madam gave up and came to me on her own.
Slowly and steadily, everything would go according to my plan.
"Well then, Madam. I have some urgent matters to settle in a faraway place. I might return late, so please have dinner without me."
"Faraway place?"
Vivian tried her best to maintain her smile and asked me, tilting her head slightly.
"Yes." I raised my head, looking straight at her. "There is an unholy rat that entered the area within my jurisdiction. As a Paladin, I need to check on it, so I don't think I can return on time for dinner."
"I see… Being a Paladin is hard, huh?" Vivian looked at me worriedly. "Don't forget to eat and rest well, Arthur. If you get sick, Eliza will be sad. Of course, me too. I have already considered you my son if you don't mind."
"Of course, I don't." I smiled brightly at her. "As I said, I also thought of you as my mother figure, Madam."
Once again, Vivian's smile faltered with a pang of guilt written on her expression. Peeping on her daughter and someone she thought of as a son having sex must be heavy for her. But… I knew she couldn't stop. It was just human nature to find something morally wrong to be exciting.
"Be careful."
"Thank you, Mother."
I bid her farewell afterward and left the mansion while she was left surprised by my last word. Taking out the last [Teleportation Gem] that led to the Border City, I activated it and teleported away while chuckling lowly.
