As I drew closer to her, the scent grew stronger
So this is what it feels like to be just 1 inch apart from a girl?
My head is suddenly getting lighter and my heartbeat can suddenly be heard across the room
I touched her clothes and looked out for any signs of discomfort or resistance
Still straight-faced as ever, huh?
It should be fine, right?
It’s only a little teasing
Just a little teasing
I will stop before I even take it off
I will stop...
Can I stop?
She suddenly moved her hands into the air, upwards
Her sudden movement of hands scared me
“ This will make it easier, master”
“...Ok”
Dang, it!
I can’t stop
I am losing control of my hands
The temptation is stronger than my ideals
!!!
Somebody stop me... (∩ ???)?
“Master. If I may, What are you planning to change me into”
....
I jumped to my bed
“God I am so embarrassed. Please get out!” I mumbled with my head against my pillow”
“As you say”
....
“Ah...”
The relief of closed doors...
Fresh air is good and all but when you live 13 years in a bubble you get accustomed to closed doors and drawn curtains

More importantly, I need to think about what I just did
I don’t why but I wanted to be close to her
To...
Hug her...
I am so going to hell! (???)?
I wonder how her body would fe-
“Young master, Are you in there?” Erika called out from behind the door
Erika?...
Did she found out I harassed her daughter?!
I only held her clothes though!
It was just teasing, Erika. Just teasing!
“His majesty has appointed you to go to Liesenberg, Northern district of Northern plains”
“He has?”
“Yes. As Isabella knows the area she will escort you”
“Is that so?...”
“Yes. If you are not satisfied with her I can arrange for the royal cartographer of that area to be your guide”
“No. It’s fine...”
More like, Can I even control myself for the whole journey -_-
“Then I will prepare a carriage”
Liesenberg, huh?
The place that Isabella grew up in
(?-_-?; ) I can’t help but feel excited about it
But it is a harsh place though
Cold in winters ad dry as a bone in summers
It was used as a battle camp in ancient times
It is, comparatively close to the central district after all
That is why people are still living in that place
Wounded soldiers from battle took refuge in that barren land
Poured their blood into it to make it fertile then started living there
The residents are persistent at leaving the land
They say that that will be an insult to their ancestors
And I have witnessed their persistence first hand when they came to talk to my parents about the same matter
Then why did Isabella’s parents leave their hometown?
Never mind I will just start packing
~
(BARF!)
“Are you okay, master?! . We should return to the palace”
Isabella said patting my back
“N-No.This much is not- (Barf)”
We are currently in the middle of a thick forest with the sun hung in the middle of the sky
I tried to act like a man around Isabella and didn’t lay down as I usually do to avoid my motion sickness
I never really felt sick in my previous life but this body isn’t stored in a 100% germ-free habitat 24/7
“We will arrive Liesenberg by night. It will be really dangerous, master”
“Yes you are right, Isabella”
We boarded the carriage again
It is just a standard royal carriage with a normal driver specializing in desert-forest areas
Though Erika insisted on an additional carriage for security I delined
I have personally invented a short gun
It was really hard to make, even for the royal ironsmiths
The iron didn’t hold the power and quickly broke at the point where the bullets could even kill the user
So I modified it which made it less powerful to only injured a fellow
But it was a revolution from the nation which used cannons
The accuracy and A.D.S speed has increased many folds
Along with my reputation, that is
“We have arrived”
“Mnh”
Huh?
“Did I sleep?”
“Yes, master”
When I looked outside the deep marsh forest was gone
Outside the glass panels, there was nothing
Seemingly, at least
It was a barren land, not a desert
Just barren...
Not a single tree in sight let alone a drop of water
A scene straight out of a wild west movie would be a way to describe it
How do they live around here?
Some wooden houses started showing up near the horizon
The air suddenly got dry
Really dry...
“(Cough) (Cough)”
“Master, are you alright?”
“Yes, don’t worry”
Sometimes she worries too much
But I can tell that he speaks out of real concern for me not just because of her duty as a maid
Isabella worries about me like my mom
If not more
But sometimes she just hits my nerves
“Uh, Isabella I haven’t asked you before but where will we be staying?”
Probably in some mayor’s house
“In my birth house”
????????!
