Chapter 243 – Sleeping Flame (10)
We descended and returned to the party members.
As if fanning, Fran was blowing wind at Dana with a large leaf.
“Nor? What’s that leather? Looks like new…”
Then Fran was surprised to see the leather I wore down.
The giant’s blue skin I brought while packing was as big as carrying a chest of drawers. I can’t help but be surprised Lari Lura, who was passionately embracing her pillar of ice, also opened her eyes wide.
“Senior? Were there any monsters inside?”
“There was. A very strong guy. Even though he wasn’t in full condition, he looked like he could be in the top 5 of all time.”
Dana frowned at that and she fanned me with leaves. It was cool and nice because the fire resistance had just been lifted.
“Fuck this husband, if you take your eyes off him, he fights with someone and comes back. I’m not even pregnant, but I already feel like raising an immature alley leader.”
“Fuck. Now there is no question of whether there are any injuries. Wife, have you lost affection for her husband?”
“Is it because I believe that my wonderful husband isn’t the kind of guy who will come and get beaten up? More than anything, if you were hurt by your personality, you would have hugged me while saying “Teeeng~ Dana mamang~”.
“Teeeng~. Fran Maman~.”
“Hey, you Shivalum.”
I avoided Dana and was hugged by Fran.
It’s fucking hot, so I chanted 〈 Freezing Touch 〉 so Fran wouldn’t hate my hug. On days when the discomfort index is high, you have to be careful with skinship.
“Lol. I’m glad you weren’t hurt. What kind of monster was it?”
“Of all the creatures I have ever seen in my life, he was the ugliest giant. It’s small for a giant, but there’s some really important news. Isn’t that right, Veronica?”
When I said that as I came out of Fran’s arms, Veronica replied with a stern and serious expression.
“It is true. That’s pretty serious news. My dear Can I explain?”
“No. I’ll do it.”
Having said that, I brought up a story to my wives + Lalilura.
“We Got Married.”
“… Master. What I said was about the Prophet’s alter ego.”
Oh, did you?
***
Today is also the time for follow-up reports.
After doing so many things, I came up with a knack for carefully selecting and conveying only important information, but this time it was not something that I would just briefly explain.
Entering → Catching a giant and tearing off its skin is a breeze.
I explained only the most important part—how far my new special move was and how useful the giant’s hide was—and skipped it roughly.
However, you shouldn’t skip the content about being spoiled by the prophet’s alter ego → Deciding to marry Veronica as well.
Because that wasn’t polite to the audience.
“Huh. It was faster than I thought.”
“I know. I thought it would take me a little longer.”
When I finished idling in the shade of a tree, Dana reacted with such a bored reaction. Her reaction to Frando was similar, so Veronica secretly stroked her breasts.
“I’m glad you did. To be honest, I was prepared to sleep in a stable without being acknowledged.”
“You know, Veronica. What am I chewing when you marry me and then? “
“Whoops. The master only needs to visit once a year. I have the confidence to wait every night by the moonlight in the stable, remembering the day my master came!”
“Let’s stop showing off that strangely strong mentality now?”
A fucking cattle horse would be freer than that. I said looking at Fran and Dana.
“Would you mind if I say thank you now?”
“Ugh~. It’s not rude, but it’s going to be difficult to answer.”
“I know yeah. Did you do anything wrong to us?”
“… No, I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Even I, who had become a forager, felt a little awkward about this process.
Still, he shouldn’t act like he committed a crime at this timing.
Why? What would our Veronica be if I looked at her like a sinner now?
If you’re going to feel sorry for your wives, you shouldn’t have accepted Veronica there.
“Thank you, both of you. For allowing me.”
As Veronica placed her hand on her chest and bowed her back, Dana pointed to her franc and said:
“What permission do you have? In particular, I am not in a position to tell you about your in-laws.”
It’s the same when you tell me to stop the show of proposals, and as the second wife, we keep our eyes on the line.
Of course, I want my wives to be on an equal footing, but wouldn’t it be impossible for my wives to force my thoughts if they would keep the proper line?
Just as Fran wants to be a good wife to me, wives may have their own rules.
“Dana. Don’t say that.”
Fran just made a letter with her lips as if she didn’t like it very much.
Fran was a person who respected my view of marriage as her husband and was reluctant to be treated preferentially by her husband. It seems that it is difficult to accept Dana’s concession favorably.
“Ah, don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten what we talked about. I’ll tell you if I have any complaints. When did I ever put up with cursing at my husband?”
Dana giggled while spitting out 100% facts.
But what were we talking about? Wives crying in a place where I am not = Did the members of the Nord Harem sign a secret agreement?
“What the fuck. Tell me what you were talking about but me. Hurry.”
“What. It’s not like a hairy guy gets caught up in talking about women.”
Caught by Dana, I stared at her Fran like a child looking for her mother, who smiled and evaded it in embarrassment.
“Just this and that. It’s just chatter, so don’t worry about it.”
“Sheesh.”
I can’t help it if you don’t want to talk. There are times when I do something without my wives.
Also, wouldn’t it be as if we were interrogated for 72 hours in a row just by giving our snowy Juji a hug?
Franc and I decided not to lie, and since Dana is the type to speak up whenever she has a complaint, she doesn’t worry too much.
“Husband. I know you cursed at me right now. I’ll forgive you, so give me your hand. It’s hot and I’ll follow you.”
I heard you. Fuck. Cold hands and feet of apology is ON.
I put a cold compress on Dana’s nape and her chin. Fran said to Veronica with a smile as usual.
“We are no longer a military family, we are truly one family. I think i’m good Would it be strange if I said I was a little happy?”
“At all. I’m happy too. Fran, Dana. It’s a lacking body, but please take good care of me in the future.”
With a hearty, delighted smile, Veronica bowed politely. The two responded with formal greetings as if they were playing a bit of a joke.
“… But, it’s Lalilura. How long are you going to stay there?”
Veronica, who settled down smoothly as a new member of our family, said as if she was a bit uncomfortable.
Lalilura climbs a tree in the rainforest and hides like a leopard among the leaves. Her eyes, half-opened through the bushes, were gloomy.
“What is it? I just ran away because I felt like I was going to be attacked if I stayed next to a certain undisciplined Kitai adventurer~?”
“Hey. You’ve only kissed Veronica yet?”
The word fidelity was a word that resurrected the undead Confucian dragon within me, so I stopped refusing it.
“I haven’t had my first kiss yet~? Can I take your remark now as meaning that you are aiming for my lips?”
Lalilura purred her lips as she drank her water through a straw for her hot coffee.
“Senior~? I’m jealous right now in the present progressive tense, so can you stop talking to me? I’m sad that you took Veronica, who is the oasis in my heart~?”
“Why did our Veronica become your oasis?”
“Wow~♡! Can you say “Our” Veronica already? If seniors and unnies are ‘us’, then I am ‘you’?”
─Daerong daerong.
After her tantrums with her incontrovertible words, Lalilura caught her legs on the branches of her tree and hung herself upside down.
“Huh~ It is. While her senior and her older sisters went together, I had a lot of fun with her older sister who transformed into her animal~? I was upset because I felt like my sister was taken away by a senior.”
She was Lari Lula, sullen, hanging like a bat. I giggled and giggled.
“I was talking about something, but it was a pity that the free ticket to the zoo was missing. I’ll make up for it when I learn transformation magic later. If you have any animals you want, just tell me then.”
“——Really?!”
Larry Lura was surprised as if he had heard that he was buying her another birthday present.
“Senior! Is that true?! You can never cancel it?!”
─Whiririk!
Lalilura descends from a tree doing three mid-air turns. If she looks wrong, she’ll think she’s falling from the tree. I crossed my arms.
“Yes, yes. I swear by this senior’s handsome face.”
“If that’s the case, the stakes are a bit short, but I’ll take it into account because I’ve had a friendship!”
No, fuck my juniors.
Hearing that her face is a little lacking from a female junior who is not good at fighting. It feels like she has more damage than when fighting a giant.
Of course, Lalilura, who was excited and didn’t notice that I was taking damage, jumped and ran.
“Aha♡! What are you all doing?! Come back soon! It’s hot, so I want to go to the sea again!”
“Let’s go play one last time before going back. Don’t run unless you want to stretch out with heat stroke.”
“Yes~☆!”
When told not to run, Lalilura took the lead with a canter. Is it because she is young? She’s full of energy Frank came up to me and stabbed me in the heat of neglecting me like an old man.
“… Nor. Do you have aptitude for transformation magic?”
“Probably not.”
“Wow… My husband’s bastard was really fucking mean and he ate it.”
At my words, the three wives stuck out their tongues. I’m glad they seem to get along well. Please don’t unite by talking behind your husband’s back.
Veronica muttered, sighing in her representative.
“Why is my master wasting his fine brain?”
“Because humans are creatures who live to waste their lives.”
And hair is not wasted.
So we went back to the beach, following Lalilura who cheerfully called us.
I’m sorry, Lalilura. It’s called Kickstarter.
***
Back on the beach, I decided to respect the opinions of the party members.
To put it simply, as it was the last day, we decided to enjoy bathing again.
Reviving her spirits, Lalila coaxed Veronica into transforming into her dolphin, but when Veronica didn’t know her dolphin, she was just playing with her splash. Dana was drinking an iced drink in the shade.
And Fran, who wasn’t wearing a bathing suit by herself – she couldn’t wear it in front of others – stood by my side.
[Oh. It’s great leather. It’s a lot.]
Ursilla said that while examining the skin of the giant I asked if I could put it on the ship. If I said no, I tried to negotiate, but, as expected, I didn’t oppose it.
Instead, she asked, her eyes twinkling.
【Is this leather included in the reward?】
【I can share a little. However, it is filthy difficult to process.]
It’s leather that I painstakingly cut by using mana like water.
If I, who had been cut off, were told to process this and make it into clothes or something, I would have to grab and touch it for the first quarter. That’s because I can’t sleep 30 minutes a day.
It was then. Fran, who had been listening to our conversation like a calm jogang, interrupted the conversation for some reason.
【Nor. Usually, these fine hides use a temporary weakening solution when processing. It’s a potion made by an alchemist, but it lowers the durability and makes processing easier.]
【Oh yeah. I didn’t know that.]
When I answered her francs, Ursilla, who had heard her talk, stroked her chin.
【That potion is useful, so I can sell it anywhere… Blacksmiths and tailors who can properly process leather of this size are rare even in Germania.]
【There is a blacksmith I know, but even though she has good skills, she hates touching leather.】
I still have to go get Clara to work. Now that she’s earned some money, isn’t it time to spend it? Ursilla said to me, who lost my mind for a moment.
【Then, do you have any plans to stop by somewhere else before you go back? Coincidentally, we also need to find a company to sell the items we got from the pirate ship.]
【Do you have any good places? Oh, but we were thinking of going to the festival held in Qudseth.]
What is the name of the festival? Was it a buffet minist?
Anyway, wasn’t Fran expecting that beer festival to be held? I looked embarrassed as I recalled the promise I had made to take me there.
─Kuk kuk.
Fran pulled my collar and told me not to care, but he just pretended not to notice.
How many times have my Franc asked me to do something, and would I miss this opportunity?
For the sake of my beloved wife, I can endure financial and time losses. Cancer, no way.
【Bizofest? If that’s the case, you’d be better off going with my suggestion. The source of the festival is held there.]
Ursilla’s triumphant words caught my attention.
People who are strong enough to tan the skin of giants, know how to handle magic, and like beer. If there are any hints up to here, how can you not know?
【Interesting. Where do you want to hear from?]
I asked, noticing Fran’s slight surprise without turning around.
Ursilla smoked a cigarette and said.
【The country of the dwarves, Nidabellir.】
