I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1771: Tea Party with

Now then, how did this happen? Well, I was invited to a tea party by Illness-san. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that, the tea was good and our chat was enjoyable.

However, the development of this situation led to me getting my ears cleaned afterward by Illness-san, I really don’t know how the conversation came to this……

[Errr, if you’ll excuse me then?]

[Yeeeeees. Cooooome~~ No need for reservatioooooons.]

Anyhow, I just can’t keep Illness-san waiting forever, so somewhat hesitantly, I rest my head on Illness-san’s thighs. Well, of course, I know that Illness-san is much stronger than me, and there’s no issue with me lying down on her lap, but perhaps because of her small stature…… or simply because I’m feeling a bit nervous about the situation where Illness-san is giving me a lap pillow, I lie down somewhat awkwardly.

The first thing I felt was the pleasant sensation of the high-quality fabric of Illness-san’s soft, long skirt, followed by the feel of her soft thighs and a slight warmth.

I’m facing my head away from Illness-san, but somehow, I’m feeling strangely nervous.

[Well theeeen, I’m going to staaaaaart.]

[Ah, yes. I’m in your care.]

I’ve certainly had my ears cleaned while laying on her lap by Kuro before, but the feeling I had this time feels a bit different.

Maybe it’s because of Illness-san’s receptiveness or the strong atmosphere of an older, reliable woman, but I can’t help feeling nervous.

After a while, Illness-san started cleaning my ear, and as expected from someone of her skill, she’s truly remarkable and it feels very pleasant. Even without me saying a word, Illness-san cleans the places I want, hitting the right spots at the perfect timing, bringing about a truly blissful moment.

[……I’m sorry for saying this out of the bluuuuue.]

[Ah, no, please don’t mind it. I’m the one who feels thankful here…… I mean, it feels really good. It’s just, it certainly was a bit unexpected.]

[I suppose soooooo. Kaito-sama had aaaaaalways been indulging my whims, so I miiiiiiight be getting a bit bolder. Even I used to always hold baaaaaack……]

[Errr, does that mean you’ve always wanted to clean my ears?]

I’ve said this before, but she wasn’t being selfish at all. However, Illness-san certainly was being unusually aggressive when it came to cleaning my ears, which gave a different impression of her than usual.

However, from the way she spoke, it wasn’t that she was being strange this time, but instead, this was something she had wanted to do before, but had been holding herself back.

[Yeeeees. I know it’s greedy of meeeee, but I want to do more things for Kaito-samaaaaa. I want to do various things with Kaito-samaaaaa. Even though I’m now looking after various aspects of Kaito-sama’s liiiiiiiife, my desires just feel endleeeeess…… as I started wishing for even mooooooore. Seriouslyyyyy, I never thought I’d be this greedyyyyyyy.]

Illness-san chuckles and says this with a wry smile, but as usual, she’s as unselfish as ever. After all, it seems just like the devoted Illness-san to want to take care of me even more than now. It’s at a level where, far from being greedy, she still appears to be someone without desires.

[……How should I say this…… That’s completely not being greedy at all. In fact, you lack so much desire that it’s surprising. It would be really nice if you could express more of those selfishness, you know?]

[Kuhihi, Kaito-samaaaaa, please don’t spoil me too muuuuuuch. Even nooooow, I’m bewildered and troubled by the changes in meeeee, so it would be quite rouuuugh if I were to desire more and more. Howeveeeeeer……]

Thereupon, Illness-san stopped cleaning my ear for a moment and started gently stroking my head. Then, in a very tender voice, she speaks.

[……Thanks to Kaito-samaaaaa, I think I can like my greedy self toooooo.]

Her words seem to carry various emotions and a deep affection towards me but…… I wonder what this is? It’s just, it makes me feel strangely ticklish.

<Afterword>
