When I told her that she would continue to be under house arrest, Cynthia's expression hardened and she nodded.
It seemed that she was not so daredevil as to object to the nobleman's decision.
Her obedient demeanor and a little bit of pouting was cute.
"I'm sure you're not busy being cooped up in a museum. I can deliver some reading material to you later, what do you want?"
"In that case, please send me the scriptures at ......."
The museum officer took note of Cynthia's wishes and I promised to deliver them.
There's nothing wrong with delivering a scripture or two.
It seems that the Holy High Church in New Nellie City has a small library, or rather, a class library of bookshelves, and I will pick up some of the books from there and carry them.
The head of the church is still on the run, so soldiers are still waiting at the church. You are free to take anything out of the church as long as you get my orders.
"I understand. There is one thing I would like you to do for me instead."
"What is it?"
Of course, I'm not going to sexually harass you yet.
"You said earlier that you wanted me to talk to you about the scriptures again. I thought I'd ask you to do the same. What do you think, I'd like you to teach me about the scriptures for a while."
After talking with Cynthia, I realized the limitations of self-education.
There are many parts of the scriptures that I don't understand just by reading them, and if I misinterpret them, I will make an embarrassing mistake.
There is a real priest who has studied so diligently that he can recite the scriptures, and if he's not busy anyway, it would be good to have him as my tutor.
In the meantime, my father has given me permission to see Cynthia. No sexual intercourse, though.
There are many things I would like to know about St. Navenpos, so I would love to have Cynthia as my tutor.
"Are you sure?"
Cynthia stares at me, her eyes shining. I didn't expect her to say no, but I didn't expect her to be so pleased.
When I told her I was serious, she smiled, putting her palms to her chest as if to say, "Leave it to me."

"I'll be waiting."
Given my schedule, after dinner is the most free time I have. I'm currently studying with Fanny, but I'll assign Cynthia's class here.
Perhaps it's because I'm interested in the Zeth religion, but Fanny has read a bit of the scriptures. I'm sure she'll enjoy it.
If my father tells me that Cynthia will be banned soon, we can go to bed after class. It's a dream come true.
As Cynthia left the room, flanked again by the military officers, I yawned and headed for the bedroom.
The end of the year was as hectic as ever in the castle, and I spent many days visiting the villa to get away from the hustle and bustle.
It would have been fine if I had just gone about my life as usual, but somehow I didn't feel comfortable being alone in that atmosphere.
In the villa, I could relax and enjoy myself with Minute, who was really happy to see me, and Eve, who was smiling at me.
I called up Eve at the villa and Mimmon who lived in the city and hugged them over and over, and when I came back to the castle at night, I had the girls who were in charge of the baths slurp and slurp on different days. I think I'm going to have kidney deficiency.
Today was the last day of the year, or New Year's Eve as it was called in the past in Japan.
Although I was in a position where I didn't have to do any cleaning, I came to the villa today to clean my testes.
It's not easy to play in the daytime when you're in the castle, because you never know when Fanny will show up.
"I've sent out a messenger, so please wait a little longer. I'm sure he'll be here shortly."
"Oh."
I looked at the servant, who was solemn, and replied.
I closed the bookmark in the book I was reading, lightly moistened my throat with tea, and turned my body around.
Where are you now?
It was only rather recently that I noticed that Lupetta had disappeared.
I had returned to New Nellie City a little while ago and tried to call out to Lupetta to hold her for a while, but she had disappeared like smoke from the inn where she had been staying.
Once I thought of holding Lupetta, my dick went into Lupetta mode.
It was like going to a set meal restaurant to eat curry, but they were out of stock, so I had to eat a hamburger steak.
The hamburger was delicious, of course, but since my mouth was already in curry mode, I couldn't get enough of it.
In addition, I had a question I wanted to ask Lupetta.
When I told Tesh to look for her as soon as possible, he seemed to think that I was desperate to embrace Lupetta and sent a large number of servants to the castle despite the busy year-end season.
I did feel the need to hold her, but not so much that I couldn't stand it, so I did something a little bad.
"It seemed she had rented a house in the city. The district is ......."
According to the servant, Lupetta had apparently moved out of her temporary lodging house.
She had decided to stay in New Nellie City for a long time and was renting a tenement.
She said that it was a district where the wealthy lived in the city, so the rent would be quite high.
Well, Lupetta and her partner, Melgen, are adventurers in their own right, so they probably have money. They have a much better chance of making money than the mere slavers, people without magic power.
"How did you find me in such a short time?"
New Nellie City is a rather large city. If you look down from the high place of the castle, you can see that there are quite a few citizens.
When I think of the density of population and the cramped conditions of the city in my previous life in Japan, it's a rather lukewarm level, but I guess it's one of the most developed cities in the continent.
When I mentioned this to Viscount Galiana once, he replied with a straight face, "New Nellie City is one of the largest cities in the continent .......
I see, in modern Japan, a city of this size would be quite large in an age dominated by local lords.
I don't think Viscount Galiana would use sycophancy on me, so I'm sure it's a fair assessment.
If I were to go to the royal capital in the spring, I would have to go overland in the continent of Eruo, where there are no airplanes. Since we would have to go through other territories, we would want to observe them carefully.
No, it seems that they did not escape. ......
As soon as the servants started to explore the city, Lupetta came to the villa to report on her move.
The reason for the move was simple: she wanted a bigger room for Melgen, who had been attacked and severely injured in the field.
Melgen was treated by a healer from the Quardenze army, but the damage caused by the magic would remain in his body for a while. He wanted to rest until he was fully recovered.
"It seems that he will remain in New Nelly City for some time to come, but if ...... young master wishes, we can arrange a room for her here."
In other words, he was going to have Lupetta in his villa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRather than having him wandering around the city, the servants would feel more secure if he was surrounded by a tight circle.
The villa was unnecessarily large, with an area the size of a country elementary school, so there were plenty of rooms and plenty of room for one or two Lupetta's.
However, it would be uninteresting to throw everyone into the villa.
Living in a villa is like being a woman who is cut off from society and is completely mine. That's all well and good, but I think it's also interesting to have a woman who is embraced by me while still having a relationship with society.
If Lupetta were to fall in love with me and want to be with me all the time, I would take good care of her, but if not, I would basically let her be free.
"No, no need. I'll tell you if there's a need."
"Very well, sir."
The servant took a step backward and I returned my gaze to the desk.
I was wondering what I should do until Lupetta arrived at the villa, when the door knocked.
"Young Master. Lupetta has arrived.
A muffled voice came from the other side of the door. It must have been a servant who had gone to call for Lupetta.
I told Lupetta to come into the room, making my crotch a little tighter.
"...... that ............."
The servant opened the door to reveal a shrunken, upright Lupetta.
She was short and stocky and looked like a very small child.
"Hmm? What's the matter, come in."
"............ Yes."
Rupeta came into the room with a languid, cat-like gait.
She was walking with her head down and looked as if she was about to start crying.
"...... captain."
"What?"
I had opened my arms to hug Lupetta, but she stopped a few steps before me.
The next moment, she was on her knees on the floor with her face pale. It was a pleading posture, the continental version of getting down on the ground.
"u... Mel-Melgen......!"
I don't know, I feel like Lupetta is on her knees every time she's in a Melgen-related situation.
