Chapter 34 – Body Touching Is Apparently Part of the Amazon Practice

My suspicions of being mistreated by the Amazons are completely unfounded.

At first they were a bit brusque, but once we had the practice match as a greeting, we soon got to know each other and they treated me with the same friendliness as if I was their own people.

Even though all the members of the Amazon tribe are incredibly beautiful and have fantastic figures, they’re also extremely friendly and constantly smiling, and they get very close without worrying about things like body contact.

Today, I was reminded once again that you can never rely on rumors.

“…I don’t know what Nii-san is thinking, but absolutely everything Nii-san is thinking right now is completely wrong, okay?”

“What’s wrong, Suzuha? You seem surprised.”

“It’s fine, Nii-san’s misunderstandings aren’t new. But—”

“What?”

“—Why are the two Amazons sitting next to Nii-san!? That should be my seat!”

With a bang, Suzuha tapped the table and the food on it floated into the air.

“Hey, Suzuha? I don’t appreciate your bad table manners during mealtime, okay?”

“I-I’m sorry, Nii-san…!”

Yuzuriha-san, who was sitting next to Suzuha who regretted it, gave a wry smile,

“Suzuha-kun’s older brother, since Suzuha-kun seems to be feeling sorry for herself in this way, please forgive her for me. Okay?”

“W-Well, if Yuzuriha-san says so.”

“…But I also think that the two Amazons are a little too close to Suzuha-kun’s older brother, just like Suzuha-kun said?”

“Well, it can’t be helped. Body touching is apparently part of the Amazon practice.”

Yes, I’m eating a meal flanked on either side by the twins, the general commanders of the Amazons.

This was part of a small reception for the forthcoming joint front between our country and the neighboring Amazon army.

So, of course, my seat is on the opposite side of the table from Suzuha and Yuzuriha-san.

When I answered, the Amazons on either my side nodded deeply at the same time.

“Yes, Taren-Nii-sama is right. This is the highest form of hospitality of the Amazons. It is not to be disturbed.”

“If you interfere with our full hospitality of Taren-Nii-sama, our Amazon army will fight to the end, even if it means being the last one standing.”

For some reason, the Amazons’ way of addressing me has become fixed on ‘Nii-sama.’

It seems to have a special meaning in the Amazons, and no matter how much Yuzuriha-san objected, the Amazons refused to accept anything other than ‘Nii-sama.’

I don’t really care what they call me.

And I’m sure there’s a cool meaning to it, like “the man recognized by the Amazons.”

There may be a possibility like that.

Well, I hope so.

“…Well, that’s fine. But Nii-san, after the meal, you have a training routine with us, don’t you?”

For some reason, when Suzuha, who was in a bad mood, said that, the two Amazons responded.

“That’s fortunate. We would like to participate as well, so please allow us to join in.”

“Of course, that also includes the ‘special massage’ afterwards, right?”

“What!? How come you two know about Suzuha-kun’s older brother’s massages!?”

Suzuha and Yuzuriha-san were extremely flustered, and the two Amazons laughed.

“If you’re caught in the information network of our Amazons, it’s only natural to know about that.”

“I’m aware that Taren-Nii-sama’s combat skills are not to be underestimated, but what’s truly frightening is his massage technique.”

“We’re part of the alliance army, so there’s no way you’d hide anything, right?”

“Ggh…”

Yuzuriha-san somehow fell to her knees as if she had been completely defeated.

I really don’t know what’s going on.

After this, I think I’ll just train as usual and then give them a massage.
