Chapter 176 – Roses Have Thorns.
The sharp black horns on either side of its head caught my attention.
It’s just the right size to lift up slightly if you hold it with one hand. If you hold it, you will feel a great grip.
A woman put down a teacup in front of me.
“Hmm… ?”
He is quite tall. About 2M… Looking at it, not only is he tall, but his overall size is rather large.
Since they also have horns, they must be of a different race than humans.
As her eyes met, the woman blushed, bowed her head, and hurriedly moved her seat to the back of her ledger.
It’s like an act of shame.
“Is the fabric on the outside?”
“Yes, I brought it to the cart. The cart is at the entrance of the building.”
“Liliana? Would you like to move the fabric to the room with the children?”
“Yes, Director.”
Liliana, the hulking beauty with the horns, nodded her head at her abbot’s command.
“I will guide you.”
When I jumped up and offered to guide me to the cart, Natalya, who was sitting next to me, looked at me.
“Hansong?”
“Sit down and rest.”
After leaving Natalia, Roin, and Thermia in the director’s office, I followed Liliana as she left the room. You can tell for sure because you walk so close.
The size is incredibly large.
“Miss Liliana?”
“Ah, yes?!”
Liliana turned around in surprise at the call behind her back. She had purple eyes and long, pretty eyelashes.
“My name is Hanseong. Can I call you Liliana?”
“Well, just feel free to call me Lily…”
The voice is so low you can barely hear it. She is bigger than me, but her behavior and voice are timid. She is a natural woman.
“Can I just call you Lily?”
“Yes…”
Liliana answered in her ant crawling voice and turned her head to her side to avoid my gaze.
You seem to have a very timid personality?
“You can follow the fabric this way.”
“…”
Liliana took a step behind and began to follow.
Among the books she had seen in the library before was a book about the various races of this world.
A man with horns… Perhaps the most famous was the dragon race, known for being mixed with dragon blood. It was written that dragon races were also big, and Liliana’s appearance matched what I read in the book.
“Are you a dragon?”
“Yes, maybe…”
“Maybe… ?”
Don’t you know what race you are?
“Since I was a little baby, the director raised me… At that time, I grew up in the count’s castle, not here, but anyway, I don’t know exactly because my parents aren’t there…”
“Aha… It’s all here. The fabric is here.”
Next to the entrance of the orphanage building, there was a cart full of white fabric. It is quite large and heavy.
Shouldn’t I have just asked Natalya for help?
As I stroked her chin and looked at her fabric, Liliana looked at the children playing in the garden.
“Hey, guys…”
“There~!”, “Crackle! Catch me!”
Liliana’s small voice couldn’t be heard by the children who were running around excitedly.
Liliana, who had been calling the children in her tiny voice, soon gave up calling her children and moved toward the fabric.
It must be difficult to move alone, but I have to help.
“Let me help you.”
“Oh, thank you…”
When all 100 pieces of fabric are put together, it weighs considerably. Natalia’s skeletons also listened to 20 copies per group, so if the two of them moved together, they would have to go back and forth at least three times.
With twenty sheets in hand, Liliana took a step back so she could pick up the fabric.
“Youngcha…”
Liliana lifted 80 sheets of fabric by herself.
… Holding 20 cards is quite heavy, but 80 cards at once? You say it’s not that hard? I thought it would use some strength because it’s big, but I didn’t think it would be this much.
My hand holding only 20 sheets is embarrassing…
Liliana glanced at me as she slung her fabric over her shoulder, perhaps feeling my gaze.
“Why, why do you… ?”
“No. Where should I go?”
“Follow me…”
Although Liliana boasted strength befitting her size, she often led the way.
The original plan was to build a good impression by sharing the fabric together…
If this happens, my hand holding only 20 cards will become embarrassed.
Oh, that’s embarrassing
At this rate, he may have to go back to the director’s office without building a good impression.
I have to put a word on it somehow.
“Then you were in this orphanage with the director from the beginning?”
“Yes… It’s been about 10 years…”
Should I say it’s older than I thought? How long should I say?
“Do the kids here leave when they become adults?”
“Yes… They even find me a job so that I can work as a city guard or as a servant for the Count’s family… The Count’s family supports a lot of money so that they can educate their children… Many children dream of working for the Countess…”
He considered dedicating himself to the count family as a dream…
If so, this is the story of a facility that brainwashes and educates people to feel grateful to the count family for investing since childhood, and mass-produces loyal servants and soldiers.
Is it like a human ranch?
It was viewed from a somewhat negative perspective, but in the end, it is a relationship that helps each other.
In this world where human life is unstable, children without guardians are bound to become pickpockets like Parasi. Those children grow up to become criminals.
From the count’s point of view, the bigger the orphanage is, the better the security of the city becomes.
The children have a stable place and opportunity for education, and the Countess has reliable servants and soldiers, so the foundation of governance is strengthened.
It is a facility that has no reason to invest.
He may be a money-grubbing monster, but since he is a Margrave with a lot of means to make money, including taxes, quarries, lumberyards, and other things, sponsoring an orphanage is a bit of a bitch.
More than that, what happened to Parasi?
Yesterday he was kicked out of Germi’s house.
Are you trying to pickpocket on the street by now?
It would be fun to see him get caught by a bad-tempered man and even break his finger in retaliation.
“This room…”
Liliana, who had been walking down her hallway, opened the door next to her and entered. She set down a piece of Liliana da fabric in a corner of the dark warehouse-like room.
-Kooung.
80 pieces of fabric fell to the floor with a rather heavy sound. Liliana set down the fabric she was holding on top of hers.
20 sheets are also quite heavy, but 80 sheets are somehow… ?
“You worked hard…”
“Your strength is amazing.”
“Oh, no…”
Unlike her display of strength, Liliana still responded with her ant-like voice.
A timid personality that is not compatible with its large size and strong physical strength…
What a huge gap…
“Then do you usually teach children here?”
“No… It is the principal who teaches… I’m mostly just assisting or helping with life in general…”
Well, with such a timid personality, he wouldn’t be able to do anything in front of the children.
“Are you staying at the orphanage every day?”
“For the most part… Yes…”
Liliana twitched her fingers, looked at her floor, and answered my question.
It’s embarrassing to keep talking.
I want to be friendly with you, but it’s not good to push me blindly.
“Shall we go back?”
“…”
Liliana quietly nodded her head.
Umm… This woman… How about in bed?
I want to make you lose your senses and get distracted by fucking my cock with my quiet and relaxed attitude.
I want to grab him by the horns and make him bury his face in my cock.
She returned to the director’s office with such impure imaginations.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the doorway, as if the story had already been finished.
Liliana shrank from the gaze, lowered her head slightly, and hid behind her ledger.
“Thank you for the nice fabric. President.”
“No. I am truly grateful.”
“I will contact you next time I need it again.”
“Ho Ho… I will wait for your contact.”
I drank the herbal tea Liliana gave me at once as I seemed to finish the conversation.
The tea was quite cold, so it didn’t burn the roof of my mouth.
*****
“Late!”
After telling Natalia, Roin, and Thermia that there was something to discuss with Germi about the Black Moon, she came to Germi’s house alone.
As soon as I came, Germi crossed her arms and shouted like that.
“Didn’t you come earlier than yesterday… ?”
“If you were late yesterday, you should come that early! You lost money!”
“Loss… ? What damage… ?”
What damage are you talking about?
“The viewing time has decreased!”
“When do you see me?”
“Oh, no, that’s not it! Time for a massage… !”
Germi blushed and she stuttered her words frantically.
Yes, that’s how I missed you… ? This is super cute!
“Isn’t the massage over?”
“Gee, aside from progress! Massage… Continue…”
Germi muffled her words, as if embarrassed to ask for something of hers, then raised her eyes.
“Massage, she says she does it every time for her wives! I’m your wife too, so do it!”
“Ah…”
Right. I was so lied to I need to do it for Natalya, Roin, Thermia, and Elena later.
She walked up to Germi and ran her palm over her bare belly.
“Ha, well…”
“Okay. Shall we go to bed now?”
“Huh…”
Germi blushed and nodded her head.
