Chapter 184 – Ep.184 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
Wide hallway.
Siron and Giena, led by Ardella who stood next to me. Kernax is walking side by side.
“It really seemed like crap from the first impression. “Why are you treating guests like this?”
“I apologize for that.”
Siron grumbles slightly and Ardella comforts him with a strangely pleasant smile.
What happened without my knowledge?
I don’t know what it is, but it seems like their relationship has gotten better, so let’s leave it alone.
“Still, you’d better be careful what you say in front of your mother.”
“… “I know, right?”
“Okay. Yes.”
Ardella nodded to Siron’s words as if she were her younger sibling.
Embracing an inexplicably warm atmosphere, we arrived in front of what appeared to be the parlor that my mother-in-law had mentioned.
Shiron, who had been chattering next to me, also pursed his lips as if he was lying when he reached the door.
Even though she kept complaining, she seemed to be scared of her mother-in-law.
Ardella pursed her lips for a moment, then opened her door wide without much knocking.
Sigh-
An incredibly oily smell wafted into her nose.
My stomach is growling after a long time. She cried.
Inside the living room, there was a long table that we had seen before in Bazellan, and on it there was a plate of very colorful meat to welcome us.
When I raised my head a little more, I saw my mother-in-law sitting at the head of the table.
“Mr. Smith sits next to me. “For the rest of you, just sit down.”
My mother-in-law waved her hand and said.
Although he had a very light atmosphere, completely different from the weighty appearance I saw earlier, there was still something difficult to reject in that one word.
As we entered, the living room door closed of its own accord.
Is this one of my mother-in-law’s abilities?
I looked around the space for a moment without seeing any of the attendants, then walked quietly and sat down on my butt in the seat closest to my mother-in-law.
I sat down first, Ardella sat across from me, and Siron sat next to her. Giena and Kernax sat next to me.
When everyone sat down, my mother-in-law glanced at everyone’s faces except me.
“It’s a colorful and diverse collection of people.”
“Push…”
When I coughed, my mother-in-law’s eyes turned to me for a moment.
No wonder my cheeks stung.
“That’s an elf.”
“Puh-eup… !!”
“Smith. “It would be a good idea to at least drink some water.”
“Cough!! Thanks, Collock… Do.”
I couldn’t even calm my startled mind, so I took the glass my mother-in-law held out for me and gulped down the water.
“Are you feeling better?”
“… Yes.”
My mother-in-law nodded her head and sat down next to her again, looking at me.
Unlike me, who was very surprised, I looked at my mother-in-law with a very calm expression and nodded her head.
“The Adventurer’s Guild has been circulating information for several months that elves have left the forest, and you were the source.”
“That’s right.”
“Amela put it there, so I’ll turn a blind eye to it too. “It’s okay to live here after removing the magic, so do whatever you feel comfortable with.”
“… Thank you for your consideration.”
When I bowed my head briefly, my mother-in-law tilted her head slightly, accepting the thanks as if it was natural.
Kernax was frozen in his gaze.
“It’s been a while.”
“Yes. “My lord.”
Cernax’s posture was as stiff as when I first met his mother-in-law in Ardella’s room.
“It seems like only yesterday that I made him an apprentice knight because he was good at raising me, and he started talking back to me because he only became more courageous than sharp.”
“Cough, call—!!”
It’s not me.
Kernax coughed.
“He grew up to be a weird guy with a soft heart because of that kind of thing.”
“Zero… Lord.”
Kernax looked at his mother-in-law with earnest eyes, his face turning bright red.
However, my mother-in-law continued speaking with the same expression on her face as before.
“I didn’t want to hear them whimper every time they got hurt or died, so I threw them away in the city, and they came back without my permission.”
“…”
Cernax closed his eyes tightly and lowered his head.
Rather, it is the appearance of Kernax sobbing…
Before I even had time to daydream, my mother-in-law smiled and said,
“At least it’s Milia. That weak guy threw a bait and you took a quick bite. When I got back, I sent him straight to the mansion and tried to get him to do some work… “A guy who is unnecessarily quick-witted.”
The corners of his mouth were obviously slightly raised, but his eyes were not smiling at all.
I wasn’t sure, but I knew that when Milia returned, she would be very excited to tell her mother-in-law.
“It is enough to punish you for leaving your duty station without my permission as the permanent lord, but considering the intervention of the administrator, I will let this matter pass.”
“… Thank you.”
“Okay. “It’s nice to see your face after a long time.”
The mother-in-law, who looked solemn for a moment, returned to her lighthearted appearance as if she had never done so before and welcomed Kernax.
Only then did the strength come out of Kernax’s stiff body.
Finally.
“Are you Siran’s daughter?”
“… ?!”
Siron’s eyes widened at his mother-in-law’s words.
“Is it. “Are there still pure-blooded males left in your clan?”
“Mom… I know?”
Siron’s eyes trembled slightly as she looked at her mother-in-law.
“It’s not to the point where they’re trying to kill each other, but we’ve seen bloodshed quite a few times.”
“Phew…”
Suddenly, Shiron let out a sigh of relief with an expression on her face.
My mother-in-law, who was watching this closely, laughed.
“You ran away from Siran.”
“… !!”
Siron trembled loudly.
It’s a really easy reaction to understand.
“Don’t worry, I don’t plan on letting anyone know. But…”
My mother-in-law said as she glanced at me sitting next to her.
“If you follow Smith, you will meet Siran sooner or later. So, try to avoid her notice.”
“What does that mean… Yo. This?”
“Push…”
Ardella, who was sitting next to Siron, couldn’t hold back her laughter and flinched.
I, too, managed to suppress her laughter that almost burst out.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law doesn’t seem to mind Siron’s tone too much.
“I don’t want to tell you.”
“…”
Shiron’s cheeks turned slightly red and she only pursed her lips.
He wants to hear an answer, but he seems frustrated because he can’t say it properly because he’s embarrassed by the mistake he just made.
The mother-in-law took her gaze away from Siron and said, looking towards her table.
“I’ve said everything, let’s stop eating.”
Then she started eating with a fork and knife without much rhetoric.
Ardella asked everyone if she was familiar with it.
“Eat in peace.”
After she said those words, everyone started eating little by little.
Of course me too.
Crunch crunch.
It’s something very greasy, but it’s such an addictive taste that you can’t stop eating it.
Anyway, it was fucking delicious.
In particular, the clear soup with white oil floating around that I couldn’t tell what it was made from was just right for my taste.
It tastes like thickly brewed beef bones with just a little salt added.
It was a taste that really made me crave for kimchi.
I inhale food like that without any hesitation.
“It tastes really good.”
My mother-in-law, who was drinking a slightly brownish drink, was watching me intently.
“It’s annoying for boys to have so many things to cover up, but I really like Smith because he doesn’t have to.”
“Gulp – thank you. “It’s really delicious.”
“Tell me if it’s not enough. “I will prepare more.”
“Yep.”
Being praised for eating well made me feel better.
As I ate like that, before I knew it, there were only empty dishes left on the table.
Of course, my stomach is already far beyond its maximum capacity and is completely saturated.
After hearing the compliment, I couldn’t bear to leave the food, so I forced myself to eat it.
As I was resting against the backrest, leaving just enough space to breathe, my mother-in-law put down the glass she was holding and looked at me.
“Smith.”
“Yep. Mother.”
My mother-in-law looked at me intently for about three seconds and then opened her mouth again.
“You must share the same room with Ardella.”
“… Mother?”
It wasn’t me, but Ardella, who was sitting across from me, calling my mother-in-law in surprise.
The mother-in-law said, looking around at the other lovers with an emotionless face.
“We have assigned each person a separate room, but there is no need to sleep there. “If you want to sleep in her room in Ardella, everyone says it’s okay to do so.”
Not only Ardella, but I also looked at my mother-in-law with slightly widened eyes since she doesn’t get surprised often.
Of course, that included me.
The mother-in-law spoke to Ardella.
“I won’t assign a separate user, so you can clean it up yourself. And.”
This time, he spoke while looking at the poetics.
“As long as you pay the right price, I won’t care what you do as long as it doesn’t cross the line, so just know that.”
“Hey…”
Siron slightly raised his hand.
My mother-in-law turned her head.
“We are guests… “What is the cost of the meal?”
“It’s Siran’s child. The guest I invited was Smith. “It’s not you.”
My mother-in-law looked at the three of us except Ardella and me and said once again.
“Before the monster wave ends, cut off a hundred heads, whether they are demon beasts or monsters, and get Ardella to confirm.”
“Pond… “What if I do it?”
To Siron’s question, my mother-in-law narrowed her eyes and answered.
“You just have to pay one gold coin for each number you are missing. Of course, since I am competing with my daughter, everyone can do that.”
Ardella let out a small sigh, and the other lovers furrowed their brows.
“Well, I’ve finished eating and I’ve said everything I wanted to say.”
My mother-in-law silently pushed back her chair and stood up from her seat.
Then she looked at Ardella and me and said:
“Shall we coordinate the details of the request? “Bring Smith to my room.”
“… All right.”
My mother-in-law quietly left the parlor without saying any special greetings.
Only then did Ardella let out a long sigh and stand up.
She said, looking around at her other lovers.
“You know where my room is… First, everyone go to my room. “I’m going back to see Smith and her mother.”
“… “Please let us know too.”
“As long as it’s not confidential.”
Ardella nodded her head as she looked at her poem.
“Joy…”
Siron stood up first.
With that as a signal, Kernax and Gienna stood up, and the two briefly greeted me and Ardella and left the parlor with Siron.
“We too… Shall we go?”
“Huh? Ah, that’s right.”
I held Ardella’s hand and headed to her mother-in-law’s room.
My mother-in-law’s room was on the top floor of the castle.
Ardella opened the door to the living room without knocking, just as she did when she opened it.
“Sit down.”
A large sofa and a small table are spread out in a large space.
Ardella and I went inside and sat across from my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law leaned back comfortably and crossed her legs.
No joke, her ample breasts bounced as they touched her knees, which were on top of her.
“Do you want to touch me again?”
“Puh-eup-!!”
As I was staring at his chest, my mother-in-law asked me a question I had never even thought of, and I ended up shaking my head.
“Again, Rani?”
“No, Ardella. Here’s how it happened…”
“As soon as I opened my eyes, he started massaging my breasts.”
“Mother?!”
I almost broke my neck looking at the mother and daughter back and forth.
Fortunately, I explained what happened at that time properly and was able to prevent a crisis that could easily have developed into a dangerous misunderstanding.
“Mother.”
“I felt like I had an ideal son, so my pranks increased without me even realizing it. Sorry.”
“No…”
Although he didn’t look sorry at all.
“Okay then, Smith. “I’ve written down here what you need to do starting tomorrow.”
Since when did you put it there?
My mother-in-law took out a rolled-up document from her deep, seemingly deep chest valley and threw it at me.
The document I suddenly received contained the warmth of my mother-in-law.
Plus, it smelled really good.
“Smith.”
“Oh sorry.”
After coming to my senses at Ardella’s call, I opened the document filled with my mother-in-law’s warmth.
There were neat letters written there that seemed to have been printed by a machine.
Ardella and I sat next to each other and read the document together.
There was a lot of information written in the document, most of which I had heard from the administrator, Millia, before coming here.
Then Ardella and I looked up from the same spot.
“Smithy?”
“Increasing morale… ?”
『Adventurer Guild Smith once a day to improve the morale of knights and soldiers. Spend at least four hours visiting the blacksmith shop at Lebellum Fortress.
※You don’t have to do anything, you can do whatever you want. Just standing there while the sun rises and sets is enough.』
Ardella and I asked our mother-in-law.
“It’s exactly as written. You are free to visit the blacksmith shop and stand there for the amount of time indicated. As I said, I won’t be making you do anything. Just fill the time, whether you sit or stand in the seat provided for you.”
“Uh… Yes. It’s not difficult. “That’s about it.”
I looked at Ardella and then nodded at her mother-in-law.
Because it wasn’t actually difficult.
“And if there’s something you want to do, you don’t have to ask permission from me. Do whatever you want while you are in this fortress. “I will give you everything I can while you are here.”
My mother-in-law crossed her legs to the other side and tapped the armrest of the sofa.
“Step.”
The atmosphere became heavy.
“You probably remember the two guys I saw earlier.”
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, so I just nodded without answering.
“You shouldn’t make night fairies for those two.”
“Cold, cold…”
I patted my chest and looked at my mother-in-law’s thoughts.
I don’t know exactly, but through the conversation between my mother-in-law and Ardella, I learned that they were trying to do something to me.
However, regardless of that, Ardella seemed to care very much for the two, and as the mother-in-law said, the two also seemed to cherish Ardella, so they planned to create a night fairy later and pass it on to the two through Ardella.
But my mother-in-law blocked it.
“However, if they sincerely apologize to you and show sincerity, you can make it for them.”
“What if you say it’s sincere?”
“Let’s not set any standards for that. That’s Smith. Let you judge for yourself. Do you understand?”
“… Yep. All right.”
I looked at Ardella, her face shadowed, and she nodded.
“Great. So now only the most important remains.”
My mother-in-law got up from her seat.
“Ardella. “You too, wake up.”
“… ?”
Ardella, who had been depressed, tilted her head and stood up at her mother-in-law’s words.
“Come this way.”
Then he went to stand next to his mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law stood side by side with Ardella, looked at me, and took off her iron boots.
Ardella and I’s heads tilted slightly.
Meanwhile, my mother-in-law’s hand, which had taken off her iron boots, moved to her silence followed.
“Mother?!”
“Mother?!”
Ardella and I called our mother-in-law at the same time.
This is because my mother-in-law pulled her pants down so naturally.
I caught my eye on the sexy black panties with red roses on them and the smooth thighs… No, I turned my head.
“Mother!! What are you doing all of a sudden?!”
“It’s noisy. Take your clothes off quickly.”
“W-what… ?”
Although I turned my head, Ardella’s embarrassed face was clearly pictured in my mind.
“Smith. “Why are you turning your head?”
“Yes? Oh no, that’s it…”
Is it okay to look at it?
No, you took it off because it was okay to look at it… Yes, but you can’t see it.
I almost fell into a trap.
That’s what I’m thinking to myself.
“I heard that the Adventurer’s Guild took measurements to make custom-made pieces for adventurers who have been promoted to silver level.”
An explanation of a very familiar situation came out of my mother-in-law’s mouth and into my ears.
“The biggest reason I invited you to the fortress is to create a custom fit for me. As a bonus, it’s also this child’s.”
“Aha.”
I gave a thumbs up to my past self.
It was like that. In order to create a custom piece, the dimensions of the object had to be measured.
“Am I mistaken?”
“… Like that?”
I heard the voices of a mother and daughter coming from behind.
“Please also provide a quill fan and paper.”
