Chris's Faith of Fire

He interrupted her directly. Although it was necessary to distinguish between high and low status, it was a bit tiring to hear other people's names and honorifics all the time.

"...I see, Your Highness."

Sophie seemed to be getting used to it after listening to my orders several times. This time she answered very succinctly.

"Well, just understand. I don't like to waste words."

After saying that, I turned around and approached the thick stack of books. The number was a bit exaggerated anyway. Where should I start reading?

Is the map the first thing to master?

However, the world map and the domestic map are also quite complex. All kinds of information are written on the high-quality parchment. I don't understand the units or scale at all, and they are completely different from the standards in the original world.

As for the history book, I flipped through it casually.

Why is there such a long quotation, and I have no idea about the names of people and places that appear...

Ahhh, I grabbed my long silver hair with some annoyance.

"Your Highness?"

The girl turned slightly sideways and looked towards me with a worried look.

Just ask her opinion.

"Sophie, where do you think we should start if we want to understand what's going on outside?"

The maid put her fingers under her lips and considered my question like an honor student.

After a moment, she raised her head and met my eyes. She hesitated for a second and then opened her lips lightly.

"Your Highness, I think it is better to think about what your Highness is interested in than thinking about which books to read."

"What interests me?"

"Well, because His Highness has been in purdah, he is at a loss about the outside world..."

Perhaps because she was afraid that her words and deeds would offend me, Sophie seemed cautious in her words.

I nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"Lord Crow brought a lot of books, which must be what His Highness asked him to do. His Highness' thirst for knowledge is very admirable, but I think that what is described in the books is different from the reality after all, and sometimes we may not be able to Thinking from the author's point of view... Ah, of course I am not denying books and His Highness's ideas. In fact, I think reading is very necessary, but you don't understand the outside world now. It is better to just dive into the pile of books and read. If so, it might be easier to start with what you are interested in. Then if you read more, your understanding will be raised to a higher level..."

"oh oh!"

This little girl really exceeded my expectations.

"...I'm very sorry, Your Highness, for accidentally saying so many words that are similar to preaching. Of course, Your Highness is smart and doesn't need to use such stupid methods like me..."

"No, you are right. I am too eager to get things done."

Could it be that Sophie is good at things like learning methods?

Although she claimed to have received education from her father, does she actually have the talent to learn?

My current understanding of the world, both from Crystal’s part and from my original part, is quite shallow.

Facing the new world, she has been thinking in the past way. Because Crystal is young, but her soul has an adult part, so she feels that she must quickly master the knowledge required for her age.

But in fact, she didn’t know what to do and treated Crystal as someone else.

It’s said that compared to yesterday, I’m completely different. I’m the one who’s not enlightened, right?

It's so clumsy.

But when I was asked to figure out what I was interested in, I hadn’t really thought about it yet...

Although she is very interested in magic and swordsmanship, these are beyond Sophie's ability, not to mention that she plans to learn about it from Michelle tomorrow... The swordsmanship training has also been agreed with her sister.

"But suddenly I don't have any clue..."

Seeing my appearance, Sophie hesitated to speak.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't worry about anything."

"Well... thank you. Actually, seeing His Highness looking so troubled, I have some suggestions... That's just my personal experience."

"I told you not to worry. You are a senior in life. Why do you have to be so submissive all the time! That's it. From now on, you are not allowed to call me your highness when we are the only ones getting along."

When the girl heard this, she immediately panicked and didn't know where to put her raised hands.

"Alas! Then how should we call you...Miss Crystal?"

"On the contrary, it looks longer, so just call her Chris."

"How does this work!"

"I like simplicity. This is also a training for you. If you have been in a state of clear distinction, you will have a lot to say. Now you have to put me in the position of a friend."

"Well...although this is indeed the case, but..."

I gave her a hard glare.

"K... Chrissy..."

"Well, you did a good job. Now I'm not a princess, I'm just the girl next door, Chris."

"I always feel like my life span has been shortened..."

Sophie put her hands on her knees and took a long breath, so she didn't know who was troubled now.

"So what was your suggestion just now?"

"Well, instead of thinking about these problems, how about relaxing for a while~~How about letting me help you take a bath? People seem to be able to think best when they are taking a bath."

"Take a shower...well, that makes sense."

"right!"

"Well, you can come too, Sophie."

"Yes, I'm going to get ready to serve."

"No need."

"Ugh?"

"You can wash with me. You don't need anyone else to serve you now. It's better to say that I'm very ticklish."

"Well...obey..."

stare!

"Hmm! Got it, Chris~~"

Chapter 5 5. Talent - 2

"By the way, is it okay if His Highness's body is bathed?"

"You told me you were going to call me Chris! And it doesn't matter! I was just using it to lie to the head maid about being unwell."

"Ah...that's how it is."

We entered the bathhouse as if talking about cross talk.

The steam blurred my vision for a moment.

It's natural that the large bathhouse is as luxurious as the royal family... Even though it is used every day, it is still amazing from the perspective of being reincarnated.

It is surrounded by smooth marble walls, and there is a slender path made of pebbles under the feet. Beyond the path is a delicate floor made of non-slip rough stones.This makes you feel like you are not walking in a bath but as if you are in a carefully cultivated garden.

The spout in the shape of the head of the phantom spits out gurgling hot water. It seems that all this is operated by an expensive magic device circuit. The specific principle is too complicated for me without magic knowledge.

"It's too spacious. I still prefer a smaller bathhouse..."

"Huh? Why...Chris would have such thoughts."

"Well, the heat will escape because the space is too big, right?"

I held up a finger and blurted out any random excuse that came to mind.

"There is no need to worry about this, because not only the water in the bath, but also the entire bath itself is continuously heated by magic crystals, and the air is always controlled within a comfortable level. Temple... Chris, you see, when you usually wash, You don’t feel cold, right~”

Sophie explained to me while taking off her clothes. Speaking of which, her clothes were really complicated, especially the style of her underwear...the suspenders were connected up and down, making it difficult to take off.

But strangely enough, seeing Sophie dressed so sexy didn't have much of an impact on me.

Although I saw the naked body of a cute girl so close, it was just like looking at a painting.

It is true that her figure is very slender and petite, but her proportions are excellent, her slender legs are not very thin, but they are full of luster and elasticity...

I looked again at my body stripped down to my underwear.

The lace vest and small underwear covered her fair skin, which looked luxurious and beautiful even from my own eyes.

but……

Just like a child, although it is indeed a child, it cannot be associated with the word sexy at all.

Damn it, on the other hand, Sophie...why did she feel such unspeakable frustration?

"Dear...Chris, why are you holding my hand like that? Did I do something wrong? The look in your eyes is so scary!"

"No... nothing..."

Sure enough, I am no longer the same person as before.

But how can I be considered "me"?Although the current self is a fusion of Chris's memories and habits, and has become a balance between both personalities.He's not as interested in girls' bodies as he used to be, and he's also concerned about his own figure...but his original male personality seems to be dominant. Is it because he's older?

Well, it’s useless to just think about these philosophical questions. After all, if I can still think about these questions, I must still be “me”, right?

There is nothing to worry about. As Sophie said, people think more when they take a bath.

After taking off the last piece of fabric, I was left with only a ruby ​​necklace around my neck...

Because my father said not to take it off, I had no intention of touching it.

Just putting your body in the hot water will make your whole body relax.

"Chris... does it really matter if I come in? This place is not originally intended for people with my status."

"Well, it doesn't matter, I allow it."

"That...then, that's rude."

Sophie covered her body with a towel with one hand and slowly sat down in the bathtub.Even so, the part of her plump breasts that was exposed above the water formed a spectacular hill.

"What size are you exactly?"

"Oh, you mean... breasts, right?"

Sophie still confirmed to me in that cautious tone.

"Well, there's nothing else besides that."

"Yes... that, let's consider it as the difference between 17 and one-half Amy..."

Hmm, I have no idea how big it is, but it just feels great.

"How long is Amy... let me tell you first, I just don't remember it clearly. Anyway, it should be a very small unit..."

My uncertain tone made Sophie cover her mouth and smile lightly, but as if she immediately noticed her impoliteness, she stopped this little action and turned her face to explain the concept of length to me.

"1 Amy...well, it's probably this long."

As she spoke, she gestured with her thumb and index finger.

Is it probably equal to one centimeter? This is much simpler.

"What about the higher-level units?"

"Ah, Amy's one hundred times is Lal, and the higher level is Fula, which is one thousand times Lal... Generally it is only used when drawing maps and describing schedules."

"That's right. Now that I think about it, this is the unit on the map. Thank you~ Sophie, I should be able to understand it this way."

"Huh? No, it's just a little effort. When I was as old as Chris, I still didn't understand anything."

Why does it feel like there's a big age difference? She must be only fifteen or sixteen years old. If her body wasn't too mature, I would believe her if she was younger.

"Can I ask your age, Miss Sophie?"

"Well, I just turned 20 this year."

"Liar!"

"Ugh!"
