Chapter 42 – Chiffon-san’s Busy Morning
Right now, I’m leaving the Royal Castle, the place I work in, and heading towards a certain place.
That’s because, the cause of His Highness Prince Sedrim running towards a neighbour.1
At the busy time in the morning, today too, I finished my preparations to begin work for the day.
It’s around the time the head maid should be calling for me.
「Chiffon-san, His Highness Prince Sedrim has called for you. Don’t worry about here, so please quickly go to the entrance of the castle.」
As I’m just a mere maid, what business would His Highness Prince Sedrim need from me?
I’m a maid in charge of the guest room. Each royalty has their own personal maid or chamberlain.
If I’m to speak of any interactions with a person of royalty, it would be when a guest meets a royalty.
In other words, there hasn’t been any interactions between me and His Highness Prince Sedrim.
While I was puzzled, I quickened my steps and hurried to the a.s.signed location since this was a royal summon after all.
When I approached the royal castle’s entrance, I saw several people gathered together ahead of me.
「So you’re Chiffon. You know Sakura Fujino right?」
Standing at the centre, an unexpected name came out of His Highness Prince Sedrim .
Sakura Fujino.
It was twenty days ago, the name of a girl who stayed at the royal castle for a single day.
That girl, with long hair and black coloured hair that’s unusual around this area, a small girl that didn’t even look 10 years of age.
On contrary to her calm appearance, I remember her frank curiosity appropriate for her age as she asked various questions.
That sort of girl at the castle by herself, in addition, lodging as a guest of the royal family, I thought ‘she must have some special circ.u.mstances right?’, so I took care of her.2
Afterwards, I heard she defeated the captain of the Imperial Guards with that small body, furthermore, I was terribly surprised when I heard she was only 15 years old.
Could something have happened to that girl?
「Yes, I know her. Has something happened to her?」
I try to confirm it while being slightly nervous.
「I’m sorry but this is an urgent matter, I want to you follow me immediately. I’ll explain the situation on the way.」
It seems something did happen to that child.
An urgent atmosphere was transmitted from His Highness Prince Sedrim.
「I understand.」
After I conveyed only that, His Highness Prince Sedrim turned his back and immediately started walking, I also started to walk.
It seems from the story His Highness Prince Sedrim told me while walking, she was crying in the morning, but because he didn’t know what he should do, he called for me to come since I had taken care of her before at the royal castle.
With only that much, I can’t understand at all ne.
For now, it appears it’s certain that she’s sad.
By the way, why did His Highness Prince Sedrim know where Sakura-sama’s house was, when I thought of that question and asked, it appears he was accompanying her at the time she was searching for a boarding house, and had been there to check on the place she was moving into.
Wouldn’t he be a stalker if he takes one wrong step!?3
After confirming the necessary matters, His Highness Prince Sedrim merely said「let’s hurry」and started running.
In order to not also be late, I franticly followed.
Soon after, we arrived at a single house.
This appears to her house.
Guided by His Highness Prince Sedrim, we arrived in front of a single door.
「Inside here.」
I nodded once and settled my breathing, then opened the door and entered inside.
「Sakura-sama!」
When I entered inside, what came into view was a figure of a little girl wrapped in a blanket with her head down, sitting on the bed.
After I unintentionally called out, the little girl slowly raised her head.
「Eh? Chiffon-san…?」
From her face, she must’ve been crying until now. Her tears continue to pour out even now.
As I unconsciously looked away from her heartbreaking appearance, at that time, an even more shocking thing came into my view.
On the pure white sheets, a dark red, stain.
It’s, blood.
I unconsciously clenched my hands.
When I s.h.i.+fted my sight, clothes were scatted around below the bed.
And, His Highness Prince Sedrim had called me to come at a time like this.
Turning around to His Highness Prince Sedrim behind me, I questioned him while holding back my emotions.
「Your Highness Prince Sedrim, what is going on here?」
I believe it can’t be helped that my voice is low and slightly trembling.
Anyone would be doubtful if they saw this situation.4
「I didn’t do anything. I’ll swear an oath. Sakura was already crying when I woke up. I thought if it’s you, you’d be able to listen to her story, so I bought you here. I won’t discover anything if it’s me, so please take a look at Sakura.」
Although His Highness Prince Sedrim claimed innocence, it’s very hard to believe after seeing this situation.
However, my first priority is to do something about the crying girl.
「…I understand. Since I’ll be listening to her story, please wait in another room, Your Highness.」
Driving out His Highness Prince Sedrim from the room, I approach the girl.
「Sakura-sama, it’s been a while. What has happened?」
When I talked to the girl as gentle as possible, she opened her eyes wide, and again, burst into tears.
「Chiffon-saaan.」
As I drew close to her and sat on the bed, I embraced her small head.
「I, don’t understand. Yesterday, wine, drank, and then, sniff, I don’t, remember. When I woke up, the blood, it hurt…. The Prince said, he didn’t know, sniff, what should, I do…」
After listening to the girl franticly bring up the story whilst crying, no matter how I think of it, I can’t help but suspect His Highness Prince Sedrim had a.s.saulted her.
「That stupid Prince…! Such a small child!」
Unintentionally, those words came out.
「So then…, does it still hurt? Uh, that area…?」
I somehow asked the girl in a gentle tone.
「Umm, ne, it’s like, throbbing pain, sniff, and oozy, my stomach, inside hurts. Blood too, won’t stop…. sniff.」
「Hmm? Inside, of the stomach? Oozy? And also, won’t stop bleeding you say… Perhaps…?」
Eh? instead of a throbbing and stinging pain, it’s oozy? Not that area, but instead the inside of the stomach? Blood won’t stop…? That means…?
「Umm, Sakura-sama? Sakura-sama is, more or less, 15 years old right? Uh, this is extremely awkward to ask but…. Have you had that time of the month?」
‘Could it be?’, was what I thought but, I asked just in case.
It’s a story I’ve heard but nevertheless, there are women that have that time of the month come as late as 18 years of age. Judging from her small body, I think it wouldn’t be strange if she hasn’t had it yet at 15 years old.
「Eh? That time of the month…?」
As expected, it was like this after all. From my question, ‘I don’t understand the meaning’, is what I’m sensing.
「Uh, when a child’s body becomes able to give birth, that kind of thing.」
I introduced it in that way of speaking.5
「Eh? aah, no, not yet, but…?」
Then, as expected…?
「Excuse me, I’ll be a little impolite ne. Even though this will be embarra.s.sing, please bear with it.」
After I told her in advance, I stripped off the blanket wrapped around her body and pushed her down onto the bed before she was able to understand the meaning, then spread opened both her legs.
「Eh? EEH!? What!? Chiffon-san??」
Aah, as expected, it’s turn pink.
I try to speak as gently as possible.
「Please calm down. Because I’m examining it a little. If possible, don’t move and relax your body.」
Although she still seems confused, as soon as I said that, her stiff body started to lose strength.
After confirming that, I s.h.i.+fted my attention to that area.
As for there, judging from appearance, shall we say. It was pure, like a small child’s.
「Ara? Ufufu, Sakura-san has nothing growing ne. It’s also pretty here ne. ufufufu. Your chest is also pretty…. Ara? This is becoming a little exciting wa.」
After checking her body, everywhere gave off a small and cute feeling.
「Waiー, Chiffon-san! Come back!?」
From her voice, my thoughts that had appeared so far had disappeared.
Ara? I, just what was I…?
「Ara, excuse me. cough. I will be examining Sakura-sama’s body for a little ne. It’s all right. Because there won’t be anything to fear.」
After pulling myself together, I studied her body, wait no, I examined it.
「n」
When I gently touched that part with my finger, she unintentionally let out that voice with that kind of feeling.
I continued on and spread out that part, then observed the inside.
Small…. I, can’t confirm it like this ne.
「Chiffon-san! What are you doing!?」
I think I understand the current situation. Although she tried closing her legs wish a flushed face, she couldn’t close it because my body was in the way.
「Since I’m almost done, please hold still okay?」
As I gently called out, I slide my finger in there.
「fua」
She’s probably enduring it. However, I still felt the cuteness from the voice she leaked out.
I moved around my finger and searched that place.
Ah, this is…
After I finished checking, I separated from her body and smiled.
When she noticed, she hurriedly grabbed the blanket and wrapped herself up.
「Sakura-sama. Congratulations.」
She had a surprised and a ‘I don’t understand what you’re talking about’ kind of expression.
「This blood comes from that time of the month you see. From today, Sakura-sama has become an adult woman.」
「Eh…? Then, the Prince and I, didn’t do it…?」
「Right, I checked it just now but there wasn’t any lacerations in the surroundings, since I also confirmed your mark of chast.i.ty, I believe it’s certainly that time of the month.」
After explaining, she became visibly relieved and displayed a smile.
Although she’s displaying a relieved smile, it’s strange how this kind of misunderstand happened.
「In the first place, why did you think it was that kind of thing? And also, how come His Highness was here?」
From my question, her body trembled with a biku.
What could have happened?
「Umm, I’m, incredibly weak to alcohol, yesterday, I drank some wine the Prince brought over. And then, I lost consciousness, ne. When I woke up, I was naked, the Prince was sleeping besides me, then the blood. That’s why,umm.」
Although she explained whilst fl.u.s.tered, it should be something like this if I try put it together.
「In other words, His Highness encouraged you to drink alcohol, even though you were weak to it, you drank it and lost consciousness. When you woke up, you were lying naked in bed, and His Highness was sleeping besides you. You saw the blood on the sheets so you thought that had happened, is what you mean?」
From my words, she nodded with a koukoku.
「His Highness, does he know Sakura-sama is weak to alcohol?」
「He knows…. Since this happened last time as well…」
As expected, isn’t this His Highness Prince Sedrim’s fault…!?
「That stupid Prince! What is he doing!」
Oops, I got angry again…
「Cough. Then, does Sakura-sama have knowledge about that time of the month?」
「I know the basics…. However, about what I need to do…」
It appears she has knowledge of that time of the month, but it seems she doesn’t understand how to handle it.
Normally a close female senior, like a mother or sister, would teach you this but…
Could it be that she currently doesn’t have any close female figures like that?
At the very least, it’s necessary to teach her the essential information immediately.
「Is that so, generally, it’s either a cloth pad that would be pressed against your body by placing it in your underwear, or inserting a filling. For women who move around a lot, it seems they often use the filling. As for the cloth pad, it could slip out of your underwear and get blood stained on your clothes. Since Sakura-sama is an adventurer, wouldn’t the filling be better?」
After she heard the explanation, I saw her expression had, but only a little, a feeling of fear.
「Eeh, isn’t it scary to use the filling? If possible, the cloth pad would be better~ haha…」
Aah, so it’s that.
For inexperienced ladies, there are many that feel fear by the act of inserting a foreign object into their body.
「If you don’t move around intensively, the cloth pad would be fine but… As an adventurer, that might be slightly difficult ne. There’s also your physical condition… Which reminds me, how’s your physical condition, Sakura-sama?」
「My stomach slightly hurts. Also my body is a little sluggish, or should I say, it feels heavy.」
「Do you feel anything like feeling sick?」
「As for how I feel…probably, I think it’s fine.」
Somehow, it appears her symptoms are relatively minor.
「It appears Sakura-sama is only minorly affected. As for the serious effects, it would hurt so much you wouldn’t be able to move, you’ll also feel sick enough to throw up.」
From my explanation, could it be my imagination? She has a bitter expression.
「However, since your condition can become more serious because of various reasons, I suggest if you take a rest if you feel your physical condition worsen.」
After hearing there was a possibility of it worsening, she began pondering.
「Well then, because after I explain this to His Highness, I’ll need to do some shopping, Sakura-sama, let me see. A skirt would be preferred today. Could you change into your clothes then wait for me? Aah, please apply a suitable clean cloth in your underwear okay?」
She confirms by nodding, I then peeled off the stained sheets and left the room.
Now then, that stupid Prince, how shall I deal with him?
Coming out of the room, I lightly explained to the stupid Prince who was waiting there.
About the blood which was from that time of the month, and how it was her first time.
About having confirmed her chast.i.ty.
About how the cause of this time’s uproar, was because His Highness the Prince had her drink alcohol even though he knew she was weak to it.
His Highness the Prince had a plain expression while listening to the first two, but his expression paled when it came to the last matter.
After informing him that I’ll be going out to buy some necessary items, His Highness the Prince asked me ‘is it okay if I enter to talk to her?’.
I replied saying since she’s in the middle of changing right now, be sure to call out to her later. After soaking the sheets in water, I left to go shopping.
After the necessary items were purchased, I returned to her house.
When I opened the bedroom door, there was a flushed faced little girl with her head hung down, and the appearance of His Highness the Prince gently stroking her head.
「Ara? Ara ara? Am I disturbing…? Ufufufu.」
「No! You’re not disturbing! Welcome back, Chiffon-san!」
After she hurriedly stood up and spoke, His Highness the Prince disappointingly pulled back his hand.
「Ara? Is that right?」
Could their relations.h.i.+p just be getting started? But that atmosphere just now…
「W-Which reminds me! What did you go out and buy, Chiffon-san?」
Ara? It seems that subject is embarra.s.sing. How cute.
「Ara ara. Well, could His Highness please leave the room for a moment? Since this is a conversation between women.」
Because if the Prince is here, it’ll be even more embarra.s.sing ne.
「Noow, Sakura-sama. Please put this on ne.」
Saying that, I handed over a cloth pad, underwear and a filling to her.
She stared at me with questioning eyes as she received it.
Aah, how cute. Which reminds me, my youngest sister in our house was like this too.
「This slender and folded cloth is a cloth pad, you attach it to your underwear when it’s that time of the month. This cylindrical one is a filling. All of these can be bought from the general store or a women’s clothing store.」
While explaining and showing each item in turns, as expected, she grimaced when it came to the filling.
Ufufu, if I don’t attempt this by all means…!
「Now, Sakura-sama. Quickly try put it on ne.」
Just like the times I got my sisters to behave themselves, I embraced her shoulders and drew her closer.
Although she desperately tried to escape, from the experience I’ve cultivated so far, I won’t let go that easily.
Softly extending my hand, I untie her underwear’s string.
「Wait, please wait! What are you doing!?」
Although she protested as soon as she realized, this is necessary!
「nfufu~. Cute♪ It’s alright you know~?」
As soon as the other string was untied, the underwear smoothly slipped off.
「Noow, Sakura-sama? I’ll teach you how to put it on okay?」
From my voice, she lifted her head and it came into her view, the filling I was holding.
She stiffened up the moment she saw that.
I rotated around her body and embraced her once again from the back.
「It’s not scary you know~? Because it’ll be over immediately okay~?」
Flipping up her skirt with one hand, I then held onto the hem of the skirt with the hand I was restraining her with.
Then with the filling, I gently covered her place.
「NO, NONONONO…… NOOOOOOO!!!」
As I restrained her while she violently struggled, I slowly pushed in the filling.
After wearing the filling and putting on her underwear, she laid on the bed completely exhausted.
「u~, somehow, this feels strange.」
She uncomfortably muttered on the bed.
「Ufufu. that feeling will soon disappear you know? Aah, please change it at least once a day okay? Because if you leave it in, you can also get sick. Oh right, these are a gift from me. Since there’s enough for this time, don’t worry about using them okay? Because I’ve already received the payment♪.」
I told her the necessary things.
Because she lifted up her face and looked this way after hearing me, I continued on with a serious expression.
「Listen, Sakura-sama. If you have any troubles or worries, please consult me any time. His Highness… may be unreliable, so I’ll do what I can. Things like women’s troubles, ne?」
Preserving alone with such a small body, I think it’s necessary for her to have partner that she trusts.
Although I don’t know whether or not I can become that person, I want to do to as much as possible within my power.
From my words, she slowly looked up.
「Umm…, then, I have one right now but…」
「Yes, what is it?」
As I expected, she also has some troubles alone right! Please ask me anything!
「How do you grow so big?」
Eh? Even if you say that…
From the unexpected question, I hesitate on how best to answer.
「That’s…. Are you talking about height?」
「No, there’s that too, but…. Like your chest, and like, your b.u.t.t. Chiffon-san, aren’t yours big? How do you get them so big?」
Can I, be considered big? I’ve thought myself to be average though.
Maa, although it can be considered big compared to her…
Rather, I consider her cuteness to be better though.
「I see. I don’t do any special in particular… However, don’t you think you’re also cute even when you’re small, Sakura-sama?」
「But, isn’t it better to be big? Everyone in this country is big too. The Prince also likes it big…. After all, I don’t have the charm of a woman with me being so small ne…」
The little girl says whilst hanging her head down with a flushed face.
Possibly, could she be denying herself?6!!
Although I’m not pleased that it’s about the stupid Prince, let me give you a single advice here.
「I don’t think that’s the case but… If you want it big no matter what, then have you heard it’s beneficial if you let a gentleman ma.s.sage it? Shall we try request His Highness to do it?」
「Eh? Why the Prince? No, leaving that aside, that’s not the problem, it’s impossible, impossible. Absolutely, impossible!」
With her face completely flushed, she franticly shook her head.
Aah, mou. That sort of appearance is cute as well!
Afterwards, she prepared breakfast, my share was taken care of because of that.7
Although for some reason, the stupid Prince sat down on his seat as if it was natural… Helping out with the tableware preparations, I ate a breakfast that I’ve never tasted up until now, it was wonderful. Has this stupid Prince been fed like this? (note: the word ‘fed’ here is used for feeding and taming(?) wild animals)
After this, I’ll have to visit her house now and then on the days I don’t have work, but that’s probably a story for another time.8
author’s note
There’s a superst.i.tion where if you have your chest rubbed, it’ll grow bigger.
Well, although the author(I) believe(s) there’s absolutely no mistake, there is no scientific evidence.
More or less, the female hormones will be stimulated if you have a person you like ma.s.sage your chest(doing that kind of deed), as a result, I’ve heard the chest can also grow bigger.
As the author, I somewhat prefer this kind of opinion.
Ah, it doesn’t even matter ne.

1. それと言うのも、隣を走っているセドリム第二王子殿下が原因でした。
2. そんな少女が一人で王城に、それも王族の客人として宿泊するなんて、何か特別な事情があったのだろうと思ってお世話しました。
3. 一歩間違えればストーカーじゃないですか!
4. こんな状況を見れば、疑われることは一つです。
5. この言い方だと伝わったようです。
6. これはもしかして、彼女も満更ではないってことでしょうか?
7. その後、彼女が朝食を用意する、というのでご相伴にあずかることになりました。
8. これ以降、わたしは仕事がない日に、ちょくちょく彼女の家を訪れることになったのは多分、余談です。
