Secret Medicine of Rejuvenation
The next day, I was awoken by the voice of my lovely maid.
“T-Tanaka-san, please, get up! It’s morning already! Richard-sama is waiting to speak with you, umm, s-so please, wake up! He’s awaiting your arrival in the reception room on the first floor!”
I could hear her soothing voice from beside me as she placed a hand on my shoulder and gently shook me.
This was almost too much.
I’ve always dreamed of being woken up in this way.
“Thank you. Please, let him know that I’ll be down soon.”
“O-Of course.”
Thanks to her presence, I was fully awake in only a few seconds.
I was up late last night building Goggoru-chan’s new home. I probably only slept for half as long as usual. Despite that, I’m feeling strangely refreshed. I wish I could wake up with this feeling every day.
Maybe one of these days I’ll be woken up by a blowjob. With that thought in mind, I was reinvigorated to face the day ahead. Under my blanket, my son was feeling invigorated too. The fact that Sophia-chan touched me had already pushed him to the edge.
“…now then.”
I shouldn’t waste her love.
I quickly cleaned myself up and left my room.
I went downstairs and headed toward the reception room as Sophia-chan had instructed.
I opened the door and was met by Ester-chan’s father.
“Good morning, Richard-san.”
“Yes, same to you, Tanaka-san.”
He had already made himself at home in the loligon’s mansion. I sat down across from him on a separate sofa. Shortly after, Sophia-chan brought me a cup of tea.
It was slightly darker than her normal tea and the flavour was also different. It made me appreciate her thoughtfulness even more. I couldn’t stop myself from gulping it down.
“I know it’s early, but I wished to speak with you as soon as possible.”
‘No, it’s no problem at all. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
After an exchange of brief greetings, we got down to business.
“If you’ll agree to it, I’d like for you to travel with me back to the capital. I would like to properly introduce the newest member of the FitzClarence faction myself.”
“Are you sure that’s a good idea? After what happened the last time I was there.”
“There are no doubt many that will view the announcement in a negative light, but I believe you will bring prosperity to our faction. Which is why I’ve decided to introduce you as soon as possible.”
“I see….”
I’m sure he’s been dealing with a mess in the capital since I left. There must be plenty of other nobles that want to know about the new baron that’s causing all of the issues. I suppose it would be best just to go along with his plan so that I can be in a position to no longer have to worry about him or any other nobles interfering in my life.
Besides, I also have some business to take care of in Kalis.
Specifically, business with the King.
“I understand. If that’s the case, we can leave right away.”
“Are you sure? I didn’t mean to impose on you, but I would rather get it taken care of as soon as possible.”
“No, it’s no trouble at all. I look forward to it.”
“Thank you. As for transportation to the capital, I have a carriage waiting for us. I was wondering if you’d be willing to share the ride with me.”
“That sounds good. When were you wanting to leave? The sooner the better, right?”
“You are correct. If you’d like, I was hoping to leave today.”
“I can do that.”
That’s why he wanted to meet so early in the morning.
“There’s only one thing I’d like to ask….”
“What’s that?”
“I would like to bring a companion with me. Does that sound okay?”
“It doesn’t matter to me. The number travelling doesn’t make a difference.”
“Thank you.”
The capital is filled with people that would love to take advantage of a new baron. Even many of my fellow nobles from the same FitzClarence family as me. Once I step foot outside of Dragon City, I become a target.
Goggoru-chan was the obvious choice to bring along. If I can keep her identity secret, she’ll appear to be a normal Goggoru. Anyone that meets her will believe that they are safe as long as they avoid coming into physical contact with her.
This should be like playing through a game on easy mode compared to my visit.
“…is it who I’m thinking of?”
“Yes, most likely.”
Richard was able to accurately guess my intention.
I gave him a confident nod as we ended our meeting.

The decision was made for Goggoru-chan to come with us to the capital.
I didn’t want to leave again without saying anything to anyone, so I decided to speak with a few people before we leave. Gon-chan, Neumann-san, and Sophia-chan to be specific. The three that had the most power while I’m away.
Due to it still being so early, I was easily able to find everyone in their rooms. The only person I was unable to find was the loligon, but I wasn’t worried about this. She probably went out for a walk or one of her patrols.
And as I was going from room to room, saying my goodbyes, I encountered someone that wanted to join me. In a completely opposite manner compared to yesterday, as soon as I knocked on her door, Edita Sensei opened up and greeted me, still dressed in her nightgown.
“I-I can come with! Let’s go together!”
She was gently rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
Edita Sensei is a night owl so she must have only recently gone to sleep.
If she were left alone, she’d probably sleep past noon.
I want to put my cock in the sleeping Edita Sensei’s mouth.
“Are you sure? It’s still so early.”
“You don’t want me to come with!?”
“No, that’s not what I’m saying. Is there a reason you need to go to Kalis?”
“….”
The sudden proposal wasn’t what I expected from my hikikomori Sensei.
It was surprisingly aggressive.
When has she ever been this aggressive in the past? The only time I can think of is when she attended the academic conference hosted by the noble mage in Kalis. I wonder what’s got her equally excited now.
But her reply left me disappointed.
“You still haven’t given my feedback on my book!”
“….”
I forgot again.
It took all of the free time I had to build Goggoru-chan’s home and I passed out shortly after I finished. This is the second time I forgot my promise to her. This time, I forgot in less than a day.
“Did you forget? Your promise to me…?”
“I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry. I completely forgot.”
Ah, this is bad. I can tell her opinion of me is quickly plummeting. Her gaze is turning demonic and she’s starting to no longer look like the Edita Sensei I know. Would this Edita Sensei ever flash me her panties?
I glanced down but her nightgown covered her thighs.
Edita Sensei clenched her fist tightly with a disappointed look on her face. She reminded me of an elementary school student that was promised a day at an amusement park but was told the trip was cancelled the day of.
“I’ll read it on the way to Kalis and I’ll give you my feedback.”
“…you will?”
“Yes, I’ll read every line carefully.”
“….”
Now that I think about it, opportunities to talk with my Sensei have been rare these days. I’ve spent much more time talking to the loligon. Considering how infrequently we’ve been speaking, a mistake like this cannot be permitted. A long journey with her may be just what I need to repair our relationship.
“You should come with us to Kalis.”
Our roles were now reversed and I was the one insisting she come.
However, this made the most sense.
“…h-hmph! I-I’ll have to think about it!”
“Thank you.”
I’m so relieved. I was worried she might actually hate me. I placed a hand on my chest and let out a sigh of relief.
By the way, wouldn’t this situation look a little odd to someone walking by? I’m standing in front of Edita Sensei’s room early in the morning while she’s still in her nightgown. I’ve always longed for a situation like this to be real.
“I’m sorry, but there’s still a lot I need to take care of before I leave, but please be ready to go.”
“I-I will!”
“I still need to speak with the other person I’m bringing.”
“…other person?”
“Yes, the girl you met yesterday.”
“O-Oi, you don’t mean….”
The blonde loli’s shoulders trembled slightly.
“I know how you feel, but given what I’ll be doing in the capital, her ability is invaluable.”
“….”
The defeated expression she showed was lovely.
