Just as I was walking in the corridor of the girls' dormitory, I heard a familiar voice.
"Hehe, quickly hand over your panties, meow!"
"Yes, don't make us do it ourselves, meow. This is all so the boss can be happy when he returns, meow."
"Senior Linia, these panties... they haven't been washed yet. Could you let me go change into a new pair for you?"
"Hmph, it's the unwashed panties we want, meow. The boss likes things with their original scent the most, meow."
"Ah, no! Waaah!"
I felt the muscles on my forehead twisting together. My hands unconsciously started grabbing my head, and some unable-to-hold-on red hair began to quietly fall out!
These two cat and dog! They're actually taking advantage of my absence from school to create hatred for me and slander me.
I'm not like that pervert Rudeus, starting some panty cult!
This is absolutely intolerable.
The magic power overflowing from my body began to erupt like steaming mist!
A violent wind began to erupt within a one-meter radius around my entire body.
My body posture began to resemble that of a sprinter preparing for a start—crouching down, hands braced on the ground.
"Time Flow"—Body acceleration, 15 times speed, activate!
My body erupted with a powerful airflow, like the Saiyans I used to see in Dragon Ball. My hair also stood up from the wind.
My legs began to exert force and launch. In the corridor, I shot forward like a cannonball, charging straight at Linia and Prusena.
In the eyes of that young girl who just had her precious item taken...
She just blinked, and the Senior Linia and Senior Prusena in front of her suddenly disappeared.
Only the freshly removed, unwashed panties that had just been taken from her remained, floating down from the air!
In the sky, above the cloud layer.
Linia and Prusena were spinning in the air like two kettles.
I wasn't even holding them. I let go with both hands, but they clung to my arms like sloths, refusing to let go.
"Sigh, Lady Linia, men and women should not touch when giving or receiving. Could you please let go of my hand?
Dear Prusena, if you jump from here, as long as you release wind magic before landing to create a counterforce against the ground, you can survive. Would you like to try?"
"B-b-boss, I'll never do it again, meow. P-p-please let us go, meow!"
"Boss Dorin, I missed you so much, meow. This must be a misunderstanding; let's go to the small grove on the ground to explain clearly, meow."
One of them was begging me for mercy, the other was trying to tempt me. I couldn't stay angry.
After circling a couple more times in the clouds, I returned to the ground.
Upon reaching the ground, they had already closed their eyes and were playing dead, clinging to me.
I shook my hands to free them from between two melons. The cat and dog were now lying stiffly on the ground, motionless.
I didn't abandon their bodies on the grass to let them fend for themselves.
To prevent them from remaining unconscious...
I could only perform CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on Prusena and Linia to ensure their safety.
Only when they began breathing heavily and their bodies started to squirm restlessly did I stop the CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
After Prusena and Linia regained consciousness, perhaps because my first aid measures were so effective...
They both looked at me with affectionate, tender eyes.
But then, with one in each hand, I took them back to the girls' dorm and threw them into their own rooms.
Looking at the two standing dazed in the room, I said:
"Next time I return, if I find out you two are still causing trouble for me, I'll tie you up with a rope and make you run three laps around the school like my pets!
I'm actually a bit looking forward to that development!"
Without waiting for them to state their positions, I went home.
It was already past 9 PM when I got home. Philip had also returned and was immediately dragged back to the room by Aunt Hilda.
When I entered the house, I found Doris still waiting for me at the door.
I felt a bit guilty. After all, I had just been kissing and touching the cat and dog. I was afraid she might notice some detail.
After entering, Doris attended to my bath as she did when we were children.
Truthfully, among all my women, Doris is the most docile. She has been by my side since my fifth birthday, even accompanying me to the Bihiel Kingdom.
But these past few years, I've been away most of the time, rarely accompanying her. She has been waiting for me in this home all along, which gives me a deep sense of guilt.
Doris was scrubbing my back. I felt I had really done her wrong.
I reached my left hand behind me, took her hand, and said:
"Doris, come down and bathe with me."
Doris was a bit shy, but having been together for so long, she wasn't too embarrassed. She took off her clothes and entered the bathtub.
"Doris, we've been together for 18 years now, right?
"Yes, Young Master."
"Sometimes I wonder, if my grandfather hadn't been there back then, if that incident hadn't happened... would you have been a happy noble girl, growing up happily?
Have you ever thought about that?"
"Young Master, I am living very happily now. I don't know how my current happiness compares to that of a noble daughter's. But if compared to a daughter from an ordinary family, I should be much happier. I don't worry about food or clothing, I have someone I like, and someone who likes me. I think this life is very happy."
"Yes, but I always have this illusion that I've taken away your chance at a happy life. Doris Prodia greyrat, how many more years until you graduate from school?"
"Young Master, I'll graduate in two years. I came to Sharia six years ago. That was right after we returned from the Bihiel Kingdom!"
I gently pulled Doris into my arms. Gently stroking her wet hair, I rested my head on her shoulder and said into her ear:
"Doris, even if just to make me feel better... after you graduate, you will no longer be my maid. Marry me! I want to create new life with you. Let me bring you even greater happiness!"
I didn't see her face. Her head was also on my shoulder. Water droplets condensed from the steaming mist flowed down her cheek onto my shoulder. I only heard a voice tinged with tears say:
"Yes, Master. I am very happy."
