Chapter 68.2
Stage 3-1. Paradise
I reminded her of the words I’d said on that fateful day in the arena—the day my life as a villain began.
“Your name follows the Veret family tradition. Alice—you are both my sword and my family.”
So, there’s no need to hold back. Show me your swimsuit—and your abs, if you will.
Don’t worry, I’m not asking for much.
I know they’re there; I caught a glimpse during your early morning training when you wiped your sweat with your shirt.
“O-Ouga-sama! I… I…”
Alice’s eyes welled up with tears, her gratitude overflowing.
It’s nice to see her moved, but honestly, I’d be happier if she changed into a swimsuit.
“…If I must display my unsightly self, then—”
“Yes. Set aside the work for now and go change.”
“—Understood!”
“Huh?”
Before I could stop her, Alice enthusiastically stripped off her maid uniform on the spot.
Of course, she wasn’t wearing a swimsuit underneath—just her undergarments.
Her chest was bound with a sarashi, and she wore a deep red bikini bottom tied at the sides.
Naturally, her sculpted abs were on full display, gleaming under the sunlight.
The sight was far beyond what I had imagined. Without realizing it, I began clapping.
Bravo, Alice. You’re magnificent.
“A-Alice-san?!”
“That outfit is way too provocative…!”
Mashiro and the others were understandably shocked.
Mashiro hurriedly wrapped her sarong around Alice’s waist, trying to cover her.
But the sheer fabric only made things more suggestive.
Alice, however, seemed utterly unbothered, which made it all the more amusing.
I watched the scene unfold, feeling at peace.
Mashiro, Karen, Reina, Alice…
Being surrounded and desired by such beautiful women—this was a scenario I could never have imagined in my past life.
This was the paradise I’d always yearned for.
I couldn’t suppress the smile that came with the start of this perfect moment.
