\text
Caym, feeling a bit hungry, stepped into the tavern and
spotted Glace.
\endtext

\text
On either side of Glace sat El and Margaretta.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's an unusual group.
\endtext

\text
Muttering that, Caym approached the table where Glace was
sitting.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Oh, the shut-in actually left his room. That's rare.

\endtext

\text("El")
Did you finish taking care of your collection already?

\endtext

\text("Caym")
No, not yet. I just got a little hungry. I came to grab a
bite... Glace, is it okay for you to be out and about
already?
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...This morning, Tiela said it was fine.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
So since this morning, El has been showing me around the
labyrinth. We're just taking a short break now.

\endtext

\text
Glace said this while drinking milk instead of alcohol.

\endtext

\text("El")
That's right. And on the way, we ran into Margaretta-san, so
we've just been hanging out together since then.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Are you bored, Margaretta?
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
I'm not taking any clients tonight, you know? I'm on break
because I'm not feeling well.

\endtext

\text("El")
Oh, really? If that's the case, you could've just told us...

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
No, it's not like I have a fever or anything. You know, it's
that... You get it, right?

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Oh, your period?
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
...You always just say it straight out. Well, yeah, that's
what it is.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
It's pretty bad this time. But spending time with you all
has really helped take my mind off it. Thanks.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
I don't mind if you're on your period. Actually, it turns me
on.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
You, shut up for a bit.
\endtext

\text
Margaretta looked up at the ceiling with a pained
expression.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
El... there's something I want to ask you.
\endtext

\text("El")
Yeah, yeah, what is it?
\endtext

\text
Like Glace, El leaned in while sipping milk.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
What is a period?
\endtext

\text("El")
Pffft...
\endtext

\text
Milk spurted out of El's mouth.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
...Ah~ um... well...
\endtext

\text
El and Margaretta exchanged glances, unsure how to explain
it.
\endtext

\text
The ever-curious Glace waited eagerly for an answer.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Let me explain. A period is when a pussy becomes more likely
to get pregnant...
\endtext

\text("El")
Ah―ahh!! I'll, I'll explain it to her later!!

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Caym, you keep your mouth shut. That's not good for Glace's
education. Actually, just go over there. Shoo, shoo.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Oh? You've been pretty bold with your master lately,
Margaretta.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Ugh...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
If you want, I could make you masturbate right here and then
fuck you.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I'll make sure your body remembers who's the master and
who's the dog.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Masturbate? What's masturbate?
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
D-don't ask! Forget about it!!
\endtext

\text
Margaretta's face turned bright red as she waved her hands
frantically.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
C-Caym, I'm sorry. Please, not in front of Glace...

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Heh heh heh, fine. But in exchange, your next training
session... is going to be rough. Remember that.

\endtext

\text
Caym lifted Margaretta's chin with his finger.

\endtext

\text
Then, with eyes like a bird of prey, he stared into
Margaretta's eyes.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
O-okay...
\endtext

\text
Still blushing, Margaretta nodded meekly, a complete change
from before.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
So, what were the three of you talking about? I can't
imagine you have much in common.
\endtext

\text
Caym sat down next to Margaretta and started helping himself
to the food on the table.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Ah, Caym... not now...
\endtext

\text
And of course, he didn't forget to slip his hand around
Margaretta's ass and start fondling it.
\endtext

\text("El")
We heard that Glace-san was chosen to keep Caym-sama company
at night, so we were asking her about that.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
To think you'd already laid hands on Glace... you really are
a brute.
\endtext

\text
Even as her ass was being kneaded, Margaretta managed to say
that as a small act of resistance.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
You say it's bad for her education, but aren't you two doing
the same kind of thing?

\endtext

\text("El")
Hehe. But you know, I'm just curious. As a fellow woman.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Y-yeah. This is just an exchange of information. There's
absolutely no ulterior motive.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Glace, it's not good to talk too much about relationships
between men and women.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...Is that so? I'll be careful from now on.
\endtext

\text
Glace nodded, but El gave her a friendly pat on the
shoulder.
\endtext

\text("El")
Hey now, Glace-san, you're way too honest.

\endtext

\text("El")
You really shouldn't take everything Caym-sama says at face
value, you know?
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Hmm. Risbell told me something similar before.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
See? This bastard only ever thinks about having sex with
women.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Look, see for yourself. Even while eating, he won't take his
hands off my ass.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Honestly, his lust is just unbelievable.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Hmm... Risbell said that too. Is it really true, Caym?

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Yeah, that's right.
\endtext

\text
Caym stopped eating his meat and washed it down with the
alcohol Margaretta had been drinking.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
As long as I can have a good woman, that's all I need. Like
this!!!
\endtext

\text
With that, Caym stood up and scooped up Margaretta, El, and
Glace in his arms.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Kyaa!
\endtext

\text("El")
W-wait, Caym-sama!? Hey, Margaretta-san, did you just make a
super cute sound?

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
S-shut up! Be quiet!
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Wah... wah... it's so high up...
\endtext

\text
The three small girls were gathered up in his arms, crying
out in surprise.
\endtext

\text
But after a moment, Glace alone began to giggle.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
Hehe... ahaha... this is amazing.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Hm?
\endtext

\text("El")
Oh wow, Glace-san is laughing.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
That's the first time she's laughed today... I was starting
to think she didn't even know how.
\endtext

\text
Ever since Glace came to the labyrinth, not once had she
ever smiled.

\endtext

\text
But now, she was laughing with a voice as sweet as a bell.

\endtext

\text("El")
Glace-san, were we really that funny?

\endtext

\text
El asked with a puzzled look, and Glace lowered her gaze,
looking bashful.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Ah... it's just, everyone seems so happy...
\endtext

\text("Glace")
And, you know, I've never been able to talk or eat with
girls my own age like this before...

\endtext

\text("Glace")
So, it's fun.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
I see, Caym... I'm happy right now.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
When you're happy, you just naturally start to smile. I
never knew it felt like this...

\endtext

\text("Caym")
...I see.
\endtext

\text
Caym nodded solemnly at Glace's heartfelt words.

\endtext

\text
Both El and Margaretta knew about Glace's past
circumstances.
\endtext

\text
Because they knew, they instantly understood just how much
weight Glace's words carried.

\endtext

\text("El")
Glace-san! From now on, let's make lots and lots of happy
memories together!!

\endtext

\text
As El grabbed Glace's hand, Margaretta followed suit.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Indeed. Everyone has the right to be happy.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
And you, who have suffered so much, have more right than
anyone to be happy.
\endtext

\text
Two girls encouraged one girl.
\endtext

\text
Caym narrowed his eyes and nodded at the beautiful sight
before him.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's right. So, how about we all have a foursome in my
room?
\endtext

\text("El")
...No way.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Not happening after all that.
\endtext

\text
As the girls bonded in friendship, Caym's interruption was
met with cold stares.

\endtext

\text("Glace")
A foursome? What's a foursome?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Let me explain. A foursome is...
\endtext

\text("El")
You don't have to!!
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
No need to explain!!
\endtext

\text
The tavern was starting to get lively as the evening wore
on.
\endtext

\text
El and Margaretta's angry voices echoed throughout the room.
\endtext
