Chapter 100 - Lyss' First Housework - First Part (Side Story)
"Fuwa~ , morning-"
From Meiya residence, to our house.
Thanks to the management of the maids from Meiya residence, there's not even a speck of dust in our house.
Even the bed smells like sunshine, it's very easy to sleep.
In the living room on the first floor, the wives were already awake and are preparing breakfast.
I'm the last to rise, it seems.
"Morning, Lute-kun"
"Mor...ning...bro...ther."
"......Good morning, Lute-san."
One low tension wife, Lyss' depressed.
The reason is clear just by looking at the broken cup on the floor.
It looks like she dropped it while carrying tea from the kitchen.
It's a usual trait of a clumsy girl.
Snow & Chris were encouraging her, at the same time picking up the broken cup and wipe up the water with a cloth.
After they finished cleaning up, we had the breakfast that Snow and Chris made.
Settled in her seat, Lyss announced with resolution in her eyes.
"I also want to try my best and do housework like Snow-san and Chris-san, so please teach me how to do it!"
I don't think you need to say it with a resolution like a soldier marching to his death…...
In the first place, she's a princess.
All the things like housework and chores were all done by the servants.
Chris who came from a similar background, overcame her sense of loss and because it's her first time doing housework, she learned how to after Snow did and mastered it.
But still, Lyss is quite a clumsy girl , so the whole housework thing is probably gonna be catastrophic.
"You're still worried about the cup you broke this morning? It was just something cheap from the market, you don't need to trouble yourself that much."
"Geez Lute-kun doesn't understand girls' feelings at all~"
[Onii-chan, no good no good.]
Snow swallowed her food and shrugged her shoulders.
Chris, who has recently been using words in the house, used the mini blackboard to judge me.
Looks like the two of them sympathized with Lyss' feelings.
Lyss noticed my bewilderment, blushed bashfully while voicing her thoughts.
"I, I am also Lute-san's wife, just like Snow-san and Chris-san. That's why, I want to do housework for the sake of Lute-san too."
"Lyss……"
I was overcome with emotion by her courageous speech.
I was truly blessed with a good wife.
We looked at each other for a while but Lyss broke it off first, changed her sight to Snow and Chris.
"That's why, please teach me how to do the housework today!"
"Of course. As fellow wives of Lute-kun, I will do my best to teach you."
*Nod nod*
Snow smiled satisfactorily, while Chris nodded in agreement many times.
"Yes yes yes!", I butted into the conversation of the wives who had a harmonious atmosphere.
"You're going to teach Lyss housework right? Then we have to buy an apron!"
"If it's apron then we have a spare though?"
Snow tilted her head.
Geez, nobody understand at all~.
I gleefully unfolded my pet theory.
"The spare apron is just something plain without any decoration, isn't it? That is not suitable, for a loli bigboobs like Lyss, one with plenty of lace, like a fluffy sweet will be good! Furthermore, naked apron! It will definitely suit her!"
"............"
The air was stagnant.
A-are? Could it be that I stepped on a landmine?
"Lute-kun, let's do this seriously. Because Lyss-chan is trying her best too."
"Ah, somehow, I'm sorry."
Looks like I got carried away too far.
I unconsciously apologized.
The one in question was...
"So-something like that, I will do it for you at night…… so please endure until then, okay?"
She said awkwardly, her cheeks are even redder than before.
Snow and Chris also agreed with her.
[I will do my best.]
"I will wear the naked apron for you too."
Thank you, thank you! For real, it was really good that I got to marry everyone.
Don! ――I had a feeling I heard something like a kabedon from somewhere really far away, seemingly from the direction of the Adventurer's Guild. It was probably just my imagination.
Editor note: Kobedon is basically the action of hitting a wall. This is generally done in protest or flirting - Creed
After breakfast, Lyss' housework practice―training for homemaking, begins.
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
Start off with cleaning.
First is the bedroom.
Remove the dust collected on top with the duster made from Garugaru's tail. Then collect the trash with a broom and dustpan, then throw them away.
"Then I will hold down the stand, Lyss please remove the dust, and take care not to fall."
"U-understood."
Wearing a simple apron, with duster in hand, Lyss stood on the chair and removed the dust from the bed's canopy.
She's only a bit taller than Chris, so it seems that she won't able to reach the corner without tiptoeing.
"Do your best, Lyss-chan."
"C-calm down, slow, ly."
Snow and Chris supported her body and gave advice too.
Thanks to that she finished dusting without any accidents.
After Stepping down from the chair, she sighed.
"We usually move the furniture and clean the corners once a month, but it was simple today so there's no problem."
Even if Snow is a magician that can use body enhancing magic, to move the furniture just for cleaning is a hassle.
When you move the furniture, you will need to temporarily store them somewhere else.
But then Lyss nonchalantly proposed.
"Is that so? But if it's my spirit blessing [Infinite storage] then I can put away something like the canopy bed without breaking a sweat though..."
[!?]
I finally realized now that she said it, indeed, with Lyss' [Infinite storage] then both the labor and space needed to move them are gone.
Without delay, I asked her to put them away.
She touched the canopy bed while focusing her mind.
The bed disappeared like it was never there in the first place.
"""Ooooo!"""
We spontaneously applauded and voiced out of admiration.
In the high elf clan, once one reaches 100 years old, regardless of one's talent in magic, they will receive a power called spirit's blessing.
Lyss' power let her store most of inorganic substances without limit, it's called [Infinite storage].
But between the high elves, it's the opposite of rare―in other word, it's an ability that only lets you take things out and put them away, is disregarded as boring.
Aside from Lyss, there was only 1 other person in all of history had this ability, but they were made fun of by the surroundings.
But depending on how you use it, this ability can be this convenient!
"That's wonderful, Lyss. We don't have to move the furniture at all and can still clean the hidden corners without breaking a sweat."
"I'm surprised myself too. To think that my ability is fit for housework like this."
Lyss doesn't really think well of her own ability.
That's why I'm happy that using it this way can show her that it's useful.
She took a broom and continued cleaning.
She moved the trash onto the dustpan and got rid of the trash.
After they finished cleaning, she was able to put the furniture back to where they were without any effort.
Next is the laundry.
Hot water and clothes had been put inside the big washing basin in the bathroom.
Snow explained.
"For clothes with delicate fabric like underwear, you have to wash by hand, but for normal western clothes, you can wash them all once like this. Put the hot water in, then add the magic detergent, and then use your feet to step on them and the dirt will fall off. Easy right?"
Indeed this seems like something that even I can do.
Lyss received the magic detergent from Snow and poured in the appropriate amount as instructed.
Magic detergent is pretty expensive, but because of that, it's exceptionally effective.
While stepping on the clothes, it removes the filth easier than with detergent from my old world.
Oil, dirt, grass juice, food, dust…...no matter what kind of filth is it, they all cleanly fell off.
What a convenient item.
What's more wonderful is,
"Heave ho, heave ho…even just stepping on them, is pretty tough."
"But it's good exercise, and it's easier than washing them by hand, one by one."
[I know, right? And with everyone stepping on them, somehow it's like we became kids playing, so it's fun.]
Snow and Chris rolled up the cuffs of their pants, and entered the big wash basin and stepped on the clothes.
Each time they stepped, Snow and Lyss' big breasts jiggled, the water and bubbles got splashed onto Chris' thighs and fell off.
It's a sight of sore eyes, I don't even mind paying 1 gold to watch this scene.
I unintentionally clapped.
"Excellent, viva, excellent……"
"What's wrong, Lute-kun, suddenly?"
"Lute-san, if you're staring at our chests and legs……"
Lyss voiced out loud.
Oh crap, did I get caught?
"Fufufu, if it's outside then I'd be troubled, but this is inside our house. We won't run so you don't need to look at us with eyes like that of a starved beast. "
Lyss smile while blushing.
Snow and Chris didn't say anything, they also agree with Lyss, it seemed.
Oh man! I really got some wonderful wives! Yay me!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Once again, I have a feeling that I heard something like someone hitting a wall from the direction of the adventurer guild.
Yep, it must have been my imagination.
And like that, we safely did laundry.
