Smith， a Black Company in Another World 906

Chapter 906 – Ep.904 the Collapsed Empire

Although he is a mixed race, he has physical abilities that are no different from those of pure blood.

However, because he was a mixed race, the position he could rise to was fixed, and because he was superior to pure blood, he always had to be checked and envied.

-Who on earth do you resemble so you are so tactless?!
-May, why on earth are you doing this?! How many times have I told you to bow down and give up!!

I don’t remember ever being a fool, even though I’ve probably tried it on other people at least once.

From the time I was able to stand on my own two feet, speak, and do something called memory, it was just a repetition of boring, tedious education.

-Haha! May, welcome back. Hurry up and say hello.

8 years since birth.

-Hi?

Met the light

**

“Cough… ?”

A feeling of exhaustion, as if all physical strength had been used up.

My parched throat was so thirsty that it felt as if a small, sharp needle was pricking my throat.

‘I am… No, more than that, this place… ?’

As I channeled some of my remaining energy into my eyes, my blurry vision slowly but steadily began to come into clear focus.

‘Stone… No, marble… ? And a magic light that doesn’t discolor…’

May’s pupils contracted.

A sun engraved next to the magic lamp appeared in May’s black eyes.

‘… ‘Imperial?’

On the continent, the only ones who could use the sun symbol were the imperial family.

“Tsk… !!”

It’s the emblem of the imperial family.

May was so surprised that she unconsciously tried to raise her body, but because her body did not listen to her, she failed to raise her upper body and frowned.

It was only then that May realized that it was difficult for her to even breathe, let alone lift a finger.

‘… ‘I was too hasty.’

May, who did not even have the strength to turn her head, gave up on moving, and thanks to this, her head, which had been sleeping due to lack of necessary nutrients, moved little by little and she began to think properly.

‘Soft pillows, thick blankets… Structure? I do not know. But it’s clear that it’s favorable.’

Realizing that her current treatment wasn’t so bad, May was able to relax a little more.

Is that why?

Jiii.

‘… ?’

It was very small, but as soon as I had a little bit of free time, I could feel May’s eyes on me right next to her.

But since she didn’t even have the strength to turn her head, all May could do was blink her eyes and accept the gaze that was staring intently at her cheek.

… Flap flutter?

It’s not uncomfortable, but it’s still a burden to endure someone’s gaze for a moment.

May felt a subtle vibration coming from afar and getting closer.

Dal-kak.

And not long after, the sound of a lock turning was heard.

‘… Two? ‘One of them is heavy.’

May pictured in her mind the physique of the person approaching through the sound of footsteps getting closer.

‘With this much weight, I would have to wear armor made entirely of iron…’ … I can’t hear the metal sound… What?’

Just before May, who had been drawing a rough idea of ​​the other person’s appearance through her sounds, fell into confusion, the owner of the footsteps finally hit her face.

“Did you fall asleep again?”

A heavy, low-pitched voice.

May was startled by the fact that one of the people approaching was a man, and she furrowed her brow unconsciously as she felt like she had heard his voice somewhere.

“You’re frowning your forehead? “Where does it hurt?”

“Ah… !!”

“Huh?!”

Although she thought it was impossible, after searching through her memories, May succeeded in recalling the owner of the voice. She was so happy and surprised that she opened her eyes, forgetting that she had been pretending to be asleep without realizing it. It took off.

“What, are you okay? I woke up in pain…”

‘Oh, I can’t do that.’

Is it because she suddenly started screaming due to her lack of stamina?

May tried to resist her eyelids gradually closing against her will, but the more she tried, the faster her consciousness sank below the surface.

**

“…”

How long had she been asleep?

It was estimated that May had been lying down for at least two to three days, with her body feeling a little easier to move than before she lost her mind.

‘… Sugar? No, fruit?’

And the thick feeling lingering in her mouth… She wriggled her dry tongue and swallowed her saliva for no reason at the very unfamiliar but strangely addictive sweetness.

“Ah, you’re awake.”

“… ?”

May, who was looking up blankly at the moonlight shining on her ceiling, widened her eyes in surprise once again when she heard her man’s voice right next to her.

Fortunately, she had experienced it once, so she didn’t scream this time, and she had a little more stamina than before she fainted, so she was even able to turn her head in the direction from which she heard the sound. .

“Ah…”

And when she finally turned her head and saw her man’s face reflected in the moonlight, May involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

“Looking at that reaction, fortunately, it seems like he remembers me.”

“Ah, uh…”

May pursed her lips to convey what her precious person had asked her to say, but instead of a voice, all that came out was a broken, harsh sound.

“Shhh.”

“…”

Just as she was about to move to tell her story with her hands, May was startled by the hot, rough feel of her lips gently pressing against hers.

“It’s already dawn, so let’s get some sleep and talk tomorrow. I’m not in a state where I can talk anyway. Yes?”

… Nod.

“Okay. “I’m not going anywhere, I’m staying here.”

Her big, big hands brushed her face, and then she started stroking my hair.

Mei stopped at the sound of stroking, which felt completely different from the stroking by her favorite Nyaho…

Flap flutter!

“Is this place good?”

“Ah…”

Every time a large, warm hand moved from ear to ear and stroked my head, a thrilling electric current that I had never experienced before spread through the top of my head and spread throughout my entire body.

… Gorongorong.

‘Boo, I’m embarrassed… However… Good…’

May fell asleep once again.

**

… Gulp, gulp.

May, who was still in a trance, did not resist and drank something warm, slightly thick, and strangely addictive sweet that flowed into her mouth.

How long had it been since she quenched her thirst with something so unknown?

“Yes… ?”

As expected, it was unclear how long she had been asleep.

However, relieved that her stamina was now strong enough to raise her body, Mei slowly stood up.

No, she tried to get up.

“Oh, lie down.”
“Ah…”

May instinctively turned her head towards where she heard the sound, and she was finally able to properly face her Smith with her sanity intact.

“How about you being able to talk?”

“Ahhh… Big, big, ah, yes. Are you okay.”

“Thank god. “Actually, I didn’t have much time to take care of him.”

She rolled up the parchment that Smith, who was sitting on the sofa and reading a document, had laid out, placed it roughly on her table, and walked towards May.

“Two days… No, maybe a day and a half. “I wanted to let you rest a little longer, but like I said before, there isn’t much time.”

“Are you okay. But a day and a half… ?”

It’s been a day and a half since my second faint?

“Oh, don’t worry. Because it’s not important. Rather, there are a few things I need to ask to confirm. “Is it okay?”

“Yes. I can answer… Cough, Cough… !!”

“Slow down, there’s no need to rush.”

“Thank you…”

May took the water bottle from Smith and was able to thoroughly wet her tongue and throat with the lukewarm water.

“First of all, I want to hear the story of how you ended up trapped underground at the top of the Black Ship.”

“Ah…”

She was so happy to have met Smith that for a moment she forgot how she had ended up in this situation.

“Um, Nyaho-nim… No, miss… Oh no… Mrs… ?”

“Feel free to call me sister. “I think Nyaho will like it better that way too.”

“Okay, thank you. Owner… ?”

Is it okay if I call you like this?

May looked at Smith with a bit of anxiety and fluttered her ears once.

Smith smiled shyly at that.

“I feel a little shy, so could you please call me Smith?”

“Well, if it’s more convenient for you… Mr. Smith… ?”

“Okay. It’s much better. “Then shall we go back to the main topic?”

May nodded her head and slowly began to tell the story of why she was here and why she was captured and why she was imprisoned in that place.

“Nyaho told me that she had something to tell Smith. She told me to wait here and tell Smith directly.”

“What if I don’t stop by here?”

“She said that her sister said that if it were Mr. Smith, she would definitely stop by the mansion on the hill here, so she just had to keep an eye on it.”

“… “That’s accurate.”

Smith chuckled a little happily, and May gave Smith enough time to reflect on her joy before continuing the story.

“She said it should be done quietly, without telling anyone,” She said. So she came alone without telling anyone.”

“Now that I think about it, there were kids I went with.”

“Yes. “They are all sisters raised by Nyaho herself.”

May fiddled with her water bottle and fluttered her ears, and this time Smith calmly waited for May to start talking again.

“It was okay for the first month. But gradually I felt someone watching me, and when I woke up in a secret hiding place, I had already been captured.”

Of course, there was an interrogation to find out why they had come.

However, thanks to the disappearance of her priest, the intensity of the interrogation was limited to a simple beating, so it was not that difficult to endure.

“… Sorry. “I should have behaved a little more honestly.”

Sigh.

“Aww…”

May was a little embarrassed by the hand that roughly tangled her hair, but she didn’t dislike the touch. No, she even had a strange thought, wishing she had been touched a little more roughly.

“I didn’t do anything wrong, so why apologize?”

“Well, not really…”

“It’s okay.”

“Huh… ?! Ugh, that’s right there… “Huh~”

Her large, rough hand that had been stroking her hair gently scratched her cheek and even her chin. May’s instincts were defeated and she unconsciously lowered her head toward Smith’s hand. I found myself pulling out all the time.

“Whoa…”

Mei, completely melted in just five minutes, slid down onto her bed.

Smith asked, pulling the blanket over her with his own hands.

“May?”

“Yes… ?”

May, who had just woken up and her eyelids were starting to blur again, answered as she strained her eyelids.

“Sorry. “But she still has something to listen to before she goes to bed.”

Smith asked again, gently taking the water bottle that May was holding tightly in both her hands and placing it on her bedside.

“Can you tell me what Nyaho is trying to tell me?”

“Ah… I’m sorry…”

May, who was trembling, opened her eyes and tried to get up again, but Smith gently pressed her forehead and laid her back on the bed.

“Are you okay. “I have to go out and see it right away after hearing it.”

“Uh, well, wait a minute…”

Was it because I had been asleep for too long?

May’s forehead furrowed and she groaned for a moment as she tried to remember.

“Ah.”

And fortunately for her, she remembered what Nyaho had told her to say.

“Sis was ‘invited’ to the Temple Association and went there… He said… ?”

Before May could finish her sentence, she looked at Smith’s back as he stood up and blinked.
