The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 111. Hospitality

111. Hospitality

Immediately, my field of view changed, and in front of me appeared an elegant round table and luxurious crimson sofa. It seems we safely returned to Levia-sama’s private room.

We used the “Dimensional Teleport” from this place around noon, but it was already pitch dark outside the window. While we spent a few hours in Japan, it had become late at night here.

Despite the late hour, when Levia-sama rang the bell placed on the round table, the maid, Holly, immediately entered the room.

“What can I assist you with, Levia-sama?”

“The couple will be staying overnight at our castle. Holly, please arrange a room for Mr. Matsunaga immediately. Oh, my sister will sleep here, so there is no need for a bedroom!”

It seemed Holly’s eyebrows twitched for a moment, but she quickly bowed deferentially.

“Understood. Then, I will guide Mr. Matsunaga to the room.”

Prompted by Holly, I headed towards the door. And as I left, I bid farewell to Isezaki-san and the others.

“See you tomorrow. Goodnight.”

“Yes, sir. Goodnight.”

“Mr. Matsunaga, have a good night. …Sister, sister~ Hehehehe!”

“Hey, Le…via-sama! Please, get off me!”

Levia-sama clinging to the waist and Isezaki-san desperately trying to pry her off. Seeing their interaction, I felt warm inside as I left the room.

Regarding this overnight stay, it was proposed by Levia-sama at the dinner table in the Isezaki residence as a way of saying “thank you for taking care of me.” Well, in reality, it’s probably just because Levia-sama can’t bear to be separated from Isezaki-san.

In response to Levia-sama’s plea, Isezaki-san, who is indulgent to her little sister no matter what, replied, “It’s just for this time,” and I agreed because I was also interested in the castle’s bedroom. Without an opportunity like this, I probably wouldn’t be able to stay at the castle again.

When Holly and I stepped outside the room, the newly appointed maid, Colin, stood in the corridor, waiting for instructions with a stiff posture.

“Colin. Mr. Isezaki will be staying in Princess Levia’s room tonight. Since I will guide Mr. Matsunaga to his room, I’ll leave the care of Levia-sama and the others to you.”

“Y-yes, ma’am! Leave it to me!!”

Whether she was nervous or not, Colin, along with her older sister, the head maid, stood there. As Colin, with determination, bounced down the long corridor, flicking her chestnut ponytail, Holly frowned.

“That child is running in the hallway again… Mr. Matsunaga, I apologize for the impolite behavior of the maid.”

“Oh no, not at all. Your sister is doing her best, and she’s very cute.”

She’s probably around middle school age? Working as a maid for nobility. Applying common sense from my world, it’s like a middle school student suddenly taking care of the president’s personal affairs. It’s hard to handle everything perfectly right away, so I want to watch over her with warm eyes.

“I appreciate your kind words.”

With an expressionless face, Holly bowed slightly.

Although Holly is a capable maid and also beautiful, she seems to lack charm. She’s probably in her mid-twenties, a little younger than me, and I hope for her growth in the future.

After that, without much conversation, we arrived at the guest room, and I was led inside.

The interior was simpler than I expected. However, the furniture provided was all carefully crafted and had an antique feel to them, making them too precious to touch. It truly was a noble’s guest room.

And on the large bed placed at the back of the immaculate room, sheets and a duvet were already prepared. They work fast.

Perhaps Holly had already anticipated the overnight stay when Levia-sama invited us to the castle. She truly is a capable maid.

As I glanced around the room, suddenly, right beside Holly, a black space appeared.

She calmly reached into it and pulled out a wooden bucket and towel emitting steam. Then, the space vanished like mist.

That was a “Storage Space,” right? It’s the first time I’ve seen someone other than myself use it.

“Holly-san, you can also use the ‘Storage Space’?”

“Yes. My magical power is limited, and the capacity is only about one barrel.”

“I see. But Holly-san, you are also Levia-sama’s escort, so the ‘Storage Space’ could be helpful in battles too. It seems quite useful.”

“Indeed, being able to store several weapons is an advantage.”

“Not only weapons, but it can also be used for defense, right?”

“Shields are heavy, and they are unsuitable for personal protection, so I don’t use them.”

“Well, not physical shields, but using a different dimension…”

“Um?”

“Huh?”

We looked at each other, puzzled. It seems like we’re not on the same page. Could it be…?

“Um, could you bring out the ‘Storage Space’ again, please?”

“Yes. Is this okay?”

Once again, a black space appeared next to Holly. I boldly stuck my arm into it.

“Ah…”

I felt nothing as my arm passed through the black space. Even though another dimension shouldn’t allow anything to pass through.

“Um, is this the usual ‘Storage Space’?”

“I haven’t seen many others use it, but isn’t it all like this?”

Holly looked at me with a puzzled expression, as if saying, “What are you talking about?”

Finally, I realized. Apparently, the ‘Storage Space’ I’ve been using is a bit different from others’.

So, it seems that others can’t use it to defend against attacks. It’s a shocking revelation to learn at this point.

“Um… Can I continue attending to you now?”

Lost in thought, I was interrupted by Holly.

“Oh, yes, sure. Um, what are you going to do?”

Oh right, she left the bucket of hot water out.

“I have prepared a nightgown for you. So first, I will cleanse your body. Could you please take off your jacket?”

It seems Holly will wipe my body with a hot towel. I’ve seen scenes like this in period dramas where travelers wash their feet outside an inn, but this seems like the noble version.

However, it feels a bit embarrassing to have someone else do it, even though I’m an old man.

“I’ll take care of cleaning myself. Sorry, but could you leave the room for a moment, Holly-san?”

“No, I will cleanse your body.”

“No, it’s fine.”

“If I don’t properly attend to you as a guest, I will be scolded by Levia-sama.”

Holly said with a serious expression.

…In this case, I feel like I’m being unreasonable by being embarrassed. After all, she’s just doing her job.

“Um… Okay, please.”

I hesitantly took off my jacket and stood in front of Holly with my upper body exposed.

“Excuse me.”

Holly came close enough to touch me and gently wiped my face with a warm towel. The temperature was just right, not too hot or too cold.

Then she wiped my neck, chest, abdomen, and arms. When she lifted my arms, she gently wiped the armpits.

Once the front was done, she moved behind me and carefully wiped every inch of my back with the same gentle and thorough approach. Holly’s breath on my neck felt a bit ticklish.

After finishing wiping my upper body, Holly knelt down and began to wash the towel in the bucket.

Phew… it seems like this is the end.

Actually having someone wipe my body was embarrassing, but if I close my eyes to that, it feels quite pleasant.

As I sat on the bed, I expressed my gratitude to her.

“Thank you, Holly-san. Thanks to you, I feel like I can sleep comfortably tonight.”

“No… the hospitality starts here.”

With that answer, Holly stood up and walked towards me with graceful steps.

Then, with a fluid motion, she removed her maid uniform, leaving only black underwear to cover her skin in a flash.

“Huh?”

I uttered a word, but before I knew it—

I was pushed down onto the bed by Holly.
