"So… that's what Master's thing looks like." Miki said, looking at her hand, now just a bit shriveled from soap and water.
Lydia nodded, smiling. "Mm! Isn't it nice?"
"That's supposed to… with a girl…" Miki's cheeks started to turn pink. "It wouldn't fit!"
Lydia giggled. "It does. When Master and I had sex, I thought it wouldn't fit either, but it slid right in-"
"What did you say?" Miki suddenly cried out, causing my eyes to snap open from my drowsiness.
"Eh? When Master and I…"
Miki's eyes shook and she leaped and grabbed Lydia's blouse. "That's a lie! It's a lie, right? I'm Master's first! We just saw Master's naked thing together. You couldn't have… already… have… done it with Master!"
"M-Miki… you're looking a bit scary." Lydia smiled wryly, but there was a sense of smugness on her face. "We were together long before you joined. It happened naturally"
"Naturally? Didn't Lydia strip down and tell me to take her?" I said and immediately regretted it.
"Geh! Master… you're not helping…" Lydia blushed, looking uncomfortable.
"Ah… that…Miki… what I meant, the thing is, Lydia was trained as a courtesan, so naturally, she would have a certain boldness when it came to these…" The expression on both the girls' faces told me I was making things worse, so I stopped talking.
I should not have butted in. I equipped Hero. Maybe my Charm Plus would protect me from this conversation.
"So… it's like that…" Miki's head was down and she had a dark expression on her face. "She's a courtesan, so of course she could do something that bold. Meanwhile, I could never…"
"Miki…" Lydia looked a little awkward and then leaned in, whispering, but still loud enough that my ears picked it up. "Our first time, it wasn't that good."
I bit my lip, barely stopping myself from turning back to her and crying out in shock. That hurt both my heart and pride. I thought our time was really perfect. Well, Lydia was a courtesan. She was trained in sex, and so she knew how to do it the best. I just couldn't measure up. My mood sank horribly. I was acting so cocky, having two beautiful women sleeping with me every night, but in the end, I didn't have the qualifications as a stud at all. The truth was really painful.
"R-really?" Miki looked up, her interest slightly piqued.
I didn't want to listen to this conversation. Hearing Lydia talk about how shitty I was in bed. It was no wonder that she had not made any moves on me since that night. This was actually a bit worse than being turned down by the girl I liked. Lydia still cared about me. This was like being friend zoned.
"Of course…" Lydia's voice sounded sad. "I failed at being a courtesan. So, naturally, I'm very bad at it."
"Huh?" I turned and looked at Lydia, realizing she had tears running down her face.
"Master hasn't touched me since we did it that first time. I had been hoping every night, but why else would he not do so? It's clear that he doesn't see me that way."
"Lydia?" My mouth fell open in disbelief.
We didn't have sex for various reasons, none of them had anything to do with me not wanting Lydia. Why would she jump to such a conclusion? Well, didn't I just jump to the same conclusion a moment ago? Except… I was just some loser, and she was a beautiful… a beautiful… slave…
Lydia smiled at me even as tears fell. "It's okay, Master. I know you care about me. That's enough. As long as I stay by your side. I'll stay happy."
My eyes narrowed slightly. There were some misconceptions that I definitely wouldn't allow to continue for another second!
