Chapter 297 – The Cold Blooded King.
“Ooh, that’s too much.”
At Belka’s resentful voice in his ears, Usher couldn’t answer and only let out an awkward laugh. When he came to his senses, he had to help the girls and quickly get them dressed.
“Verdi was good too ♪”
“I don’t know, I don’t know.”
Erica, who was walking with Usher by the hand, smiled and talked, and Belka buried her face in his back. Because of this, he tried hard to subdue the desire to boil again at the soft touch of his back. Because Belka wasn’t in good shape to walk on her own because of his legs. After wrapping Belka in a suitable cloth and packing her bag, I saw Krikaliev sitting with his back to us in the distance. He approached him with the girls, and for some reason the sandy floor was littered with indescribable pictures.
“Oh, are you here?”
“What are you doing?”
They draw mountains, see waves, look at waves to see wind, and look at wind to draw typhoons. The stone in Krikaliev’s hand was still connecting the ends of the paintings, so he asked.
“It’s just scribbling. I’m bored, so I’m playing with something like this.”
He straightened his back as he tossed the stone he was holding into the lake. Krikaliev had already covered the places that looked like golems with small iron plates and chains.
“Then let’s go now. If possible, I’d like to leave you alone to play, but are the girls normal?”
Certainly, Belka and Erica were pretty girls to anyone’s eyes, so Usher didn’t have the confidence to handle the occasional quarrel. At times like this, I think many times that I wish I could grow up earlier, but it didn’t happen to my heart’s content, so I had no choice but to work hard to be able to do that. As we walked along behind him, we finally saw the town.
“Is this a holy place?”
“What are you asking again? It’s been a holy place since the underground.”
“It is, but it is.”
While climbing underground villages and large castles, he knew that this place was a sacred place, but it was difficult to realize it. However, the appearance of a large village in front of me made me feel that this place was a holy place. The buildings in the village, separated from the forest by a single gate, were basically as tall as two or three small houses. The buildings in Parz were also tall, but most of them were white and square, but the buildings here were more pointed and towered like spiers, as if they were trying to build them higher.
If you pass through the gate and look inside the village, you can see it even better. Each of the roofs was sharpened, and when I looked up at the sky from the street, the numerous houses looked like spears trying to pierce the sky. It was only for a moment that I was distracted by the sight. Because there was a small hand that tugged at his hand.
“Chii, are you digging your eyes out?”
“M-I’m sorry.”
Seeing Erica puffing out her cheeks with her soft, soft hand, Usher followed Krikaliev again, but he couldn’t help but pay attention to the surroundings. Most of the people on the street wore mostly white clothes and it was hard to find a dark expression on their faces. Even that common garbage was hard to find on the street.
“Are they kids again? I’ve told you several times not to throw away trash.”
Even the occasional rubbish was picked up by men in white priestly uniforms, so the place was strangely clean. Perhaps because of this, the streets looked cleaner than Parz, which was simply white.
“Oh! Usher! Look over there!”
Looking back at Erica’s voice, there was a fish shop where she pointed. Usher could see immediately why the girl was interested in it.
“Isn’t that the fish you saw underground?”
Being conscious of the surroundings, I muttered carefully as I looked at the fish hanging in the fish shop. There, the fish that Krikaliev had caught in the basement, along with other fish, both large and small, were lying on their backs, their white scales glistening. Krikaliev, as if interested in the sight, approached with them.
“What’s the name of that fish?”
The merchant raised his head at his question, startled and shook his head.
“It’s called Faldus, which has been caught recently, but it’s not tasty enough for the knight-nari to be interested in.”
“I guess they started getting caught recently.”
Krikaliev flicked an iron coin at him, gave it to the merchant, and led them off. Usher wondered how fish caught underground could be caught above ground, but he didn’t have time to answer the question. It wasn’t long before he found a building with a sign that said it was Rode’s Clothing Store.
“Huh, you’re still here.”
“Do you know where?”
Usher was surprised that he knew this place. No matter how you look at it, this place seemed like a store specializing in women’s clothing. Having wandered the streets with Belka, Mediah, and Lyudmilla, he had been brought to these places several times, so he could tell. Before that, even looking through the large windows, the clothes standing up were telling us that this place deals with women’s clothes.
“I got help for a while before. It’s okay, so pick out some clothes for the lady and come.”
I was a little worried, but when I left Krikaliev and entered the clothing store, I saw the inside. The sunlight didn’t come in because of the curtains spread everywhere, but it wasn’t too dark because the magic stone lamp was shining on the ceiling. As they open the door and enter, the sound of a small bell ringing echoes through the store.
“Yes, sir. Please wait a moment.”
A large curtain might have divided the space, but a voice like the owner of the store could be heard from beyond the curtain, but no one could be seen. The appearance of various clothes lined up side by side seemed to be the same everywhere, so many clothes could be seen. From transparent clothes based on white to rough but wide clothes. The store full of colorful clothes made me think about what to choose because it was enough to make my eyes dizzy.
“First of all, what kind of clothes do you like?”
“Hee hee, what do you think Usher would like?”
That’s why I asked the girls, but what came back was Erika’s playful words.
“Even if you say so.”
“Huh, wouldn’t it be possible to find out if we do this?”
“Eh, Erika, what the sudden…”
Just as she was about to say something about Erica’s action of grabbing her own arm and hugging her, the soft touch wrapped around her arm. The little but clear feeling of his arm wrapping around her made Usher realize that Erica wasn’t wearing her underwear. He bought it for her in her basement, but something happened and he lost it. Not only that.
“Belka, what about your underwear?”
“Oh, that’s it. I lost my stomach before I knew it.”
I should have realized from the moment the girl’s negligence was clearly visible under the dress. Belka needed underwear, just like the soft feeling that kept crushing on his back.
“Aha ♪”
It was only then that he realized the truth, and Erika laughed happily as if making fun of Usher. Although she hated it, she couldn’t say anything. She had no choice but to start looking for her underwear.
“You’ve waited a long time… Oh my, are the ladies your guests?”
A woman opened one side of the curtain and entered the space they were watching. It was a lively-looking woman with light brown bobbed hair that barely reached her shoulders and an apron with multi-colored stains for the owner of her clothing store. Seeing her look at them and her eyes twinkling, Usher forgot to retort and nodded her head.
“Then what did the ladies come to see?”
“That’s because I need underwear first.”
Usher talked about what to do, feeling strained in her voice, as if it were a grown-up. The girls’ underwear needed to be addressed right away. Then she nodded her head and opened another part of her curtain.
“Then come inside a bit more.”
Perhaps the structure of her store was more complex than I thought. As I followed her inside, I saw women’s underwear lined up in a smaller space than the one she had been in before.
“What size do our girls fit? Is it custom made if possible?”
Usher didn’t know what to say to her question. She looked back at Belka and Erica, wondering if she would know if they were girls.
“Uuuuu00uuuuu”
“Eh, I don’t know.”
Belka muttered without confidence, and Erica only tilted her head, blinking her eyes as if this was the first time. The woman also nodded her head as if she realized something from their appearance.
“To say the least, how many people use cloth instead of underwear.
And then she took out a line full of traces of her scribbles.
“Shall we measure the lady over there first?”
“From me?”
When the woman saw Erica, she approached her woman in a puzzled way. She looked over her girl for a while.
“You’re wearing clothes that are quite wide. Excuse me for a moment.”
Erica shuddered at her sudden action. The woman suddenly pulled Erica’s clothes tight and measured her breasts with her string. It was so much to measure her breasts twice more and I checked her girth with her string to her waist and hips. Erica, who seemed surprised at first, smiled at Usher as if she soon adapted.
“I think the lady should wear a bigger bottom.”
“Meot!”
She looked at Usher as her face blushed at the woman’s words. She already knew it, but it seemed like it was a big deal to others. Next it was Belka’s turn, and she stood on one foot.
“Oh, this girl, her breasts are a bit big? She’s a narrow C cup at this.”
“Cadet.”
Belka also blushed at her words and her Usher couldn’t quite figure out where to put her gaze. It was because the dress she was wearing was made of transparent material, so the girl’s breasts could be seen changing their shape on the string that her woman was carrying. So the woman asked Usher as she picked out her underpants that fit them.
“Don’t you need your lady?”
“…I’m a man.”
“Oh my goodness.”
Seeing the woman’s wide-eyed eyes in surprise, Usher blushed in displeasure. In the end, they chose her underwear from her selection, which fit well, and Belka picked out her fine-looking white dress.
“How much is everything?”
“It’s 14 iron coins, but in other currencies…”
“Here! Goodbye!”
It was expensive, but I paid the price in a hurry and got out of her store.
“What did you do inside to make her face red again?”
“It’s nothing.”
Krikaliev asked curiously at their appearance, but the girls averted their gaze and Usher evaded. Belka also realized a little too late that she didn’t have to cover her because she was now wearing a white dress, but she was carrying him anyway so her breasts wouldn’t be exposed.
“But first, what do you want to do with Belka’s feet? Where is the doctor?”
She asked, worried that Belka might continue to live on her back as she walked down the street again. I would gladly do it if I had to, but if I could, I wanted to cure it.
“If it’s something like that, I have something in mind. It won’t matter if I prepare the ring first.”
Usher was puzzled, but believed his words and was able to find a shop that sold rings. Inside the store, countless rings were shining like girls’ eyes, showing off their beautiful appearance, but unexpectedly, I was able to choose a ring right away.
“Let’s do this.”
“I’ll do it with this!”
Because Belka and Erica pointed at the same set of rings at the same time.
“This? I have four rings?”
Surprised to see the price tag offering 1 gold coin and 4 silver coins saying it was made of silver, they asked back at the appearance of one more ring than theirs.
“Usher, actually.”
“There’s one more.”
Belka and Erica looked at each other, paused, and continued talking alternately while answering. Usher was momentarily speechless at the fact, but he asked just in case.
“That means, the same relationship as Belka and Erika…?”
As they nodded, Usher was troubled. Maybe he even thought that he had already met the last one. He looks like he’s thinking for a while, and the girls look at him and lick his lips. But the worry was short-lived. Usher held a set of rings in his hand.
“Come on, let’s quickly calculate.”
“”Huh!””
The girls laughed brightly at him. And when I handed the set of rings to the owner of the store, for some reason he looked at them and Krikaliev with a subtle expression.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“…No. It’s because the knight master wants to be good.”
“What are you?”
The owner of the shop talked to Krikaliev, but Usher couldn’t be bothered with that.
“Ugh, money.”
Now I see The money he had been earning himself was not enough to buy a set of rings now. Considering the money I spent underground and buying the girls’ clothes now, it might be natural. Then Erica tilted her head and looked inside his bag.
“Huh? But you have so much money?”
“No, this.”
Usher looked at Belka awkwardly. Then, along with red hair brushing his cheek, I see Belka’s golden light looking into his bag.
“You haven’t written any.”
“How do I use this?”
As soon as the girl noticed, Usher bit his lip. He knew Belka had left it for him, but that made him unable to spend any more. This was the money she had earned herself while working in Lantua. Because she thought it was meaningless if she didn’t write for a girl. At his words, Belka smiled softly.
“It’s okay. This is living for us.”
“But I wanted to buy you a ring.”
“Huh, if that’s the case, Usher bought us clothes too?”
“Yeah, so. Buy me a ring with this money.”
Usher wanted to pay for the ring himself, but Erica and Belka didn’t want him to spend it.
“Eight!”
“Wait, Erica!”
Besides, Erica, while he was unguarded, reached into her bag and pulled out two gold coins and held them out to their owner.
“Is it Parzu’s gold coin? This is enough.”
Erica chuckled and puffed out her breasts while the owner pulled out her scale and checked her weight.
“Verdi, did I do well?”
“Huh.”
“Hee hee!”
At the sight of Belka stroking Erica’s hair, Usher couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
“There are two silver coins left… Knight Nari is really good. Even the calculations are for young ladies.”
“No, no. No? No?”
