第１７６７堀：グラス港町の売りで押す (Part1)
Chapter 1767: Pushing the Appeal of Glass Port Town
Side: Yayui
I had been forced into an incredibly revealing swimsuit—not that I’m flat-chested, but compared to the others, I’m on the smaller side, and it made me feel quite embarrassed. However, Kirue-sama’s words helped me pull myself together.
That’s right.
I am Yuki-sama’s bodyguard, after all. This is no time to be feeling bashful about the size of my chest or the high-cut design of my swimsuit.
I absolutely hate the idea of being looked at by anyone other than Yuki-sama, but as Kirue-sama said, if the enemy is struck by my charm, their movements will undoubtedly slow down.
Therefore, this swimsuit is a tactical necessity!
...I have to believe that, or I won’t be able to recover my composure.
Because swimsuits are designed to show off, people with feminine figures naturally draw the most attention.
Conversely, those who lack such curves might be seen as comical...
"Hey, Yayui. You okay?"
"H-hup! Y-yes, I’m fine! I, uh, I haven’t taken any damage from the swimsuit!"
"Yeah, you're fine. I like that swimsuit on you, Yayui, so I’m definitely excited. Don't worry about it."
"Fueh!? Y-Yuki-shama!?"
Before I knew it, Yuki-sama was right in front of me, offering gentle comfort.
"C-could it be..."
"If you mumble like that, I’m going to hear you. There’s no need to be embarrassed. You all belong to me, after all."
It seems he heard everything.
Uuu, how embarrassing.
As I was thinking that, Aurelia also lowered her head.
"Ahaha... I’m not exactly confident in my body either, but for Yuki-sama's sake..."
"Now, now, Aurelia, let’s have some confidence. Yuki-sama loves you just the way you are, and that’s more than enough."
"Exactly, exactly. Men who look at us with lecherous eyes are everywhere, even when we’re wearing normal clothes. You should just think of it as making the trash easier to spot."
Aurelia feels the same way I do, doesn't she?
I understand, I really do.
Everyone around us is so voluptuous, and while I can’t say I fully understand where Hovis and Rushi are coming from, I get the sentiment.
Still, when it’s for Yuki-sama’s sake, I can do it.
"You’ll have to get used to these things as you spend more time with my wives, so just take it slow. Now, we’re heading to dinner, but are you alright, Yayui? You have preparations to attend to, don't you?"
"Ah, yes. I’m ready, so it’s fine. If I weren't, I wouldn't be at the pool."
That’s right—the main feature of this buffet is the seafood caught in Glass Port Town.
Naturally, we are expected to have the guests sample it.
And as the leader of the fishing port in Glass Port Town, I hold a certain level of responsibility.
Though...
"I’m not a chef, nor am I an expert at judging fish. My role is mostly to provide explanations."
"Explanations about the fish?"
"Yes. Explaining what kind of fish they are eating. It’s not like I’m giving a detailed lecture on their ecology, though. It’s just the necessary information for future sales."
"I see~. So it’s for the sake of future business."
"As Hovis says. It’s an explanation of the seafood that will become the staple of Glass Port Town. And an explanation of the fishing boats, too."
My job is to provide the "explanation" for the fish and the means by which we catch them; the actual transaction prices will be negotiated individually.
"I see. So the explanation of the fishing boats is the main event, then."
"That’s the plan. It seems the fact that even a woman like me can operate them is a big selling point."
"I don't think there are many with talent like yours, Yayui, but it is true that anyone can learn to pilot them."
"That’s true. Yayui’s talent is rare."
"Yes. That is certainly true."
"Isn't it~."
"Ahaha~."
Everyone except Yuki-sama and Prof-san is definitely talking about my sudden change in personality, aren't they?
It can't be helped.
Whenever I ride something with an engine, my spirits just soar.
"So, that’s why the boat is on display."
Yuki-sama ignored my internal turmoil and cast his gaze toward the lobby, where the fishing boat I—no, the fishing port—uses is on display.
You can actually board it and look inside.
"The boat itself is a rarity, and seeing it displayed like that really catches the eye. As expected of Ratz-sama."
Yes, just as Prof-san said, coming up with an idea like that is something only Ratz-san, who serves as the commercial representative, could do.
With that, we crossed the front desk once more and arrived at the buffet restaurant.
That said, there were only light partitions, so you could see the buffet area from the lobby.
The servers were standing at the ready, looking as if they were prepared for anything.
Just as I was thinking that, I noticed some familiar faces standing at the entrance.
"Welcome, we have been expecting you. Yuki-sama, and your wives."
"After enjoying the pool and the baths, please enjoy a meal centered around the seafood of Glass Port Town to your heart's content~."
With those words, Sisua-sama and Sona-sama welcomed us.
They weren't wearing their usual military uniforms, but dresses, which gave them a slightly different impression.
"Oh, dresses, huh? I see. Still, won't it be hard to eat in those?"
"It is fine. We have practiced for this occasion. Besides, we are welcoming state guests; it is only natural that we dress accordingly."
"Ahaha~, I’m not very good at this, though~. But I couldn't exactly ignore it this time."
"Well, it is the completion party for Glass Port Town. Sisua and Sona’s mettle will be tested, too. All I can say is, do your best."
"Leave it to us. As Yuki-sama’s subordinates and as the lords of Glass Port Town, we will perform our duties admirably."
"Yes. We will do our best~. It’s a town we built together with everyone, after all. We will introduce it properly."
It seems Sisua-sama and Sona-sama are putting their all into this party.
"Well, don't overdo it. If there’s a failure, I can cover for you. And Sisua and Sona, you aren't just here for greetings and guidance; you need to eat and introduce the seafood, too. Balance is key."
"I don't quite understand that feeling, but I hope to learn a little through today’s practice."
"Indeed. I do wonder if it’s really alright to be eating and drinking in front of state guests..."
As we were talking, a voice called out from the side.
"It’s fine. Or rather, if you, the acting lords, don't eat, no one else will be able to, so eat up."
"Your Majesty."
"Ah, Seraria-sama. You’re ready, then."
