Chapter 459 – The Spring Feast.
After they washed themselves, this time Usher was in her bathroom.
“Let’s talk first…”
“Because I’m planning on eating dinner. Wash up first!”
In fact, he had no intention of washing himself right away, but it was because Lydica pushed him into the bathroom with her bright red face, half-forcing him to do so.
“You know how bad your armor can smell when it gets wet!?”
Lydica also wore her armor, so her words were persuasive. It was the chronic fate of knights to keep the armor from smelling.
‘I don’t know if I should call it armor.’
Seeing that she was only wearing tights made of soft material, except where it was really important, it seemed that she was more curious than confident. Even a little bit of water could see through her underwear and bare skin.
– Cheolgruk Ting!
Even compared to the armor he was wearing now, the difference was stark. Even though his armor was designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, he had to pull out several fixing pins to remove one of the pauldrons.
Usher put away the remaining armor and underwear at his feet to a corner. He washed himself in the bathroom and came out to the dressing room. Realizing the problem, he shouted outside.
“Do you have any clothes to change into?”
Udangtang! As soon as he shouted what he was doing, he was worried about the loud noise coming from the door, but he heard Lidika’s voice from the door.
“What is it? You don’t even carry a change of clothes?”
“It’s in the wagon.”
“There’s no way we have clothes that men would wear in our house!”
“So I said I’d wash it later.”
That way, even if I washed myself, I would have been able to wear the underwear while drying the armor. It was when I was contemplating whether to wear underwear and armor again.
“Ugh, wait a minute.”
The sound of her footsteps receded from the door, and it wasn’t long before Lydica opened the door cautiously, sticking her hand through the crack in the door. In her hand was a white bathrobe.
“It’s a little bit, but I can’t help it. I only wear it until my clothes are dry.”
As expected, the size didn’t fit, but maybe it’s because it’s originally a wide-fitting garment, so long as the belt is tightened, there’s no problem. When he put on his clothes and came out, Lidica and Elkana, who were sitting at the table, looked back at him.
“If you come out, from evening…?”
Lydica handed him a sandwich of ham and assorted vegetables between her buns, then blinked blankly and stopped her movement.
“Was your uncle your sister?”
Seeing even Elkanah, who was chewing on the same sandwich as he was, tilting his head and making strange noises, Usher walked over and sat down at the table, thinking that his hair had grown too long.
“Just call me uncle.”
“Okay.”
The girl simply nodded and said to Lydica, checking her sandwich.
“Did you make the sandwich yourself?”
“Heh? Ah! Ma, that’s right! If that’s a complaint, why don’t you eat it!”
“No.”
Seeing her somehow froze and gibberish as she regained her senses, Usher lightly denied it and took her sandwich.
“Mum-mum.”
The meal that started like that was quiet. It was familiar to Usher, but that didn’t mean that his memories of the past would not fade.
‘You’re the youngest! Let’s not do this alone again, let’s eat together!’
‘If you intend to have tea with women again, I will decline.’
‘Kek! Just notice faster.”
‘Puhahaha! You should have taken quite a lot!’
In the newly settled Parz, Boas and Arun, who called him the youngest and invited him to seduce women while having meals with him every time, were annoying, but it is also true that their voices come to mind naturally when they are in this silence.
‘Ruler! It’s our inn’s new menu! Taste it and think about it!’
‘Ugh… Nausicaa sister, didn’t you get it from the old man?’
‘Poem, it could fail!’
When I think about the meals with Nausicaa, where he sometimes brought new menus to him, it was always noisy with the voices of the visiting knights and people.
‘Oh, do I have to eat this too? There must still be a lot of dry matter left. Even that…’
‘I have to save dry weight as much as possible so that I don’t starve to death.’
When I came to Pacifenia from Parz and ate strange-looking animals or plants for meals, it seemed as if I could hear the voice of Sulsien, who had been babbling and talking about various things.
“…”
Looking back, he was not accustomed to silence. He didn’t open his mouth well, but people always gathered around him and made a fuss.
Now that I think about it, he himself was always listening to that sound.
‘Sulshien.’
Usher then thought of her, whom she had left stunned. Come to think of it, couldn’t she have been helpless? Witches were something that many people didn’t like.
‘You mean the witch? I do not know. But if the story handed down is true, shouldn’t she be killed?’
‘Huh? Witch? Why witch? Just in case, don’t even think about getting involved with that.’
‘Oh my! You’re a witch! No matter how many daughters we have in our family, they are not witches!’
If you ask the knights, seniors, or merchants who have come under your command, most of them will respond like that. People like Krikaliev, who treated Belka and Erica casually, were rather unique.
Even so, it is true that Seolshien was exceptionally hostile to her witch, so Usher decided to break up with her early.
“Is the food tasteless?”
Lost in thought, she raised her head at the sound of her voice, and Lydica was looking at him with her hands together as if uneasy.
“No. It’s because I have a lot to think about.”
“Whoa, that’s right… It’s just because you look serious!”
Usher laughed at the sight of her hiding her flushed face with her clumsy excuses. It seemed that I should put off thinking about Seolsien for a bit.
“Kuuuuu.”
After a simple dinner, Elkanah, who had been dozing her head down to see if she could fall asleep, curled up next to him and fell asleep.
“Now that the child is asleep, shall we talk?”
“Yes, I was wondering why you brought me here anyway.”
“Isn’t it strange to spy on suspicious people?”
“It’s simply because it doesn’t seem like that’s the reason.”
It was understandable that Lydica knew her whereabouts at the time of their first meeting and had put her surveillance on her lips, but it was hard to understand why she had brought him into her house.
“Whoa, okay. It’s not something to hide.”
Lydica sighed as she stared at him with blue eyes.
“Actually, I was chasing you because of my personal reasons. Being a Dimacaeri is only a formal status, and there are not as many heavy duties as knights and soldiers do.”
Lydica continued, fingering the glass of her coché with her slender fingers.
“I doubted you knew my sister. As far as I know, she’s never been out of Pacifenia, and she’s never sent a letter to anyone.”
Therefore, she said that she intended to follow him around and watch her movements for the time being.
“But who would have thought that I would act like Mudepo?! You know that I’m the witch and sister you’re looking for, but you just walk away! Even the lowest ones don’t touch people belonging to the Party! Even…”
“Ugh.”
“Suck!”
Lydica, who raised her voice as if her emotions were rising, saw Elkhana frowning at her and talking in her sleep.
“I decided to bring you home because I saw you saving that child. It didn’t sound like you were simply targeting a witch.”
Lydica felt guilty as she looked at Elkhana by his side, half-closing her eyes and blurring her blue eyes. Usher opened her mouth at the sight of Usher peeking out, her long white eyelashes folding her wings.
“I didn’t come to your house just to get out of the rain.”
“…!? Stand, no way you!”
Lydica withdrew, covering herself with her arms, but she probably wasn’t what she thought.
“I thought I could meet her at your house.”
“Ah.”
But Usher realized it wasn’t as simple as he thought. As a result of checking the house over and over again, it was obviously a spacious place for one person to live, but no trace of a person was visible anywhere.
“If you thought we’d be able to meet so easily, you’re mistaken. It’s true that we share the same house, but I can count on one hand the number of occasions when she comes home.”
Lydica turned her head away sneeringly, but Usher caught her loneliness in those blue eyes.
“Hmph, anyway, I’ll have to keep an eye on what you’re thinking for now. If you’re really okay… I’ll take you to her.”
“All right.”
So Usher held hands with Lydica. Then, when the time to sleep came.
“I will sleep in the living room. The child please.”
“What are you talking about?”
Usher tried to fall asleep alone in the living room, but what came back was Lidica’s bewildered expression. She brought several of her bedding and spread them out in the living room while talking.
“If you sleep alone, there’s no point in me spying on you, right?”
With Elkanah lying in the center, Usher was at a loss for words as she pointed to the other side of the blanket and told her to lie down.
‘Are you doing this on purpose?’
“Go to bed soon.”
He makes eye contact with her with her suspicious mind, but what she gets back is a puzzled look, as if she really doesn’t know anything.
“…”
Eventually, Usher lay there and watched Lydica extinguish her magic stone lamp. The bed was not as uncomfortable as I thought. After all, Elkanah was also asleep between them.
The next day, when you wake up. Usher realized how foolish it was.
“Ugh.”
The sweet voice of a woman who was by his side could be heard in his ears. Her long right arm and hand entwined in her overwhelmingly soft touch, even the light weight that lightly weighed down her lower body.
The girl who should have been between them was asleep on the other side of him for some reason, and Lidica filled the gap between them.
Raising his head slightly to check the situation, his forearm was buried in the voluptuousness of the two hills that tights alone could not hide, and her hand was swallowed between her thighs.
But the biggest problem lies elsewhere. In that situation, Lidica’s right leg was on top of his stomach.
“Huh, warm? What…?”
Lydica then woke up, revealing her dim blue eyes, as if she felt a sense of incongruity, and when she ran into him, she backed away in surprise, but it ended up touching her hamstrings.
“Hey hey hey?!”
No matter how much I trained, I couldn’t stop the menstrual phenomenon in the morning.
