Chapter 403 – Ep.402 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
“Tskcha.”
I sat down on my butt on the clean basement floor.
Kernax and Ardella left early in the morning because they had some business to attend to at the guard, and Nyaho headed to Bambino after lunch to attend to work at the top.
The sister took Siron, who was playing, to repair the ruins of the collapsed guild. Siran didn’t say where he was going, but he probably went to see Bizelin.
As usual, Beneo started the housecleaning by manually sweeping and wiping every corner of the house without using a scroll, and Gienna went shopping to replenish the ingredients that were quickly running out.
At that time, no one was ovulating and everyone had work to do, so they came down to the basement for the first time in a long time. I didn’t come down because Beneo told me not to interfere. It’s real.
‘Anyway, when will the answer arrive?’
The country of elves.
Five days have already passed since Greentia’s tour was decided.
Giena said that as soon as she received the letter, she would send an answer and it would arrive within ten days at the latest.
‘But was it really necessary to send a reply?’
According to the racial convention, elves were not allowed to leave the Kalan Forest. So, just because I accepted the invitation, they said there was nothing special they could do for me.
For example, Ardel Drake and the family carriage for me when I visit the fort. And just like they gave it to the Knights of Ardella.
Elves cannot meet someone like that.
Well, if you tell me in advance that you’re going, I can at least prepare a welcome ceremony…
‘I don’t think I would be happy to be welcomed.’
Tania, former cult leader and dryad believed to have survived alone by the elves. After hearing her story, I felt more uncomfortable with the elf race.
Of course, the cute and lovely Giena is an exception.
“Ha~ I don’t know.”
He hugged the back of her head and lay flat on the floor.
The light of a magic lantern softly illuminates the basement.
I looked at it blankly and closed my eyes.
-I hope to show what a true man looks like to male elves who only enjoy their rights without properly performing their male roles.
This was what Giena’s mother added when inviting me.
In other words, the word used was an invitation, but in reality, it was the same as asking me to fix the mental head of the male elves.
I think Shiron and the other lovers interpreted it as simply wanting me to have sex.
‘Well, it’s not wrong.’
In order to instill in them a sense of crisis, the fastest way would be to show them through direct action. As a bonus, I got to see the face of the high elf cub who made him attack Tania’s people.
On this tour, I will be leaving the other apostles in Mallingta, but I will be taking Tania with me. I didn’t necessarily mean to take him, it was Siran’s will.
“They say things are getting better.”
Naiel, who stops by me every two days to report on the status of the apostles and believers, said that she no longer gets very upset when my name is mentioned.
I didn’t know what would happen if I met him in person, but seeing as it didn’t get worse even after the incident in the tent, it certainly seemed like he was gradually improving.
And she is said to have blended well into the city without quarrel, not only to herself but also to her later apostles who joined her. I heard that they sometimes pinch Kalum or feed him honey chestnuts, but the intensity was weak, and when I heard about it, he did something that deserved to be beaten.
First of all, Kalm is not helpful in recovery work because he is short and weak. That’s why we spend time in the tent so as not to be disturbed, Niel said.
-The child is surprisingly dexterous.
Kalm said he is good at drawing and has a talent for writing poetry and song lyrics.
For that reason, it is said that Kalm, who was comfortably sitting in a tent drawing designs for robes to be worn by Sith Church priests, had been secretly going out into the streets to buy snacks using the money he had earned by carrying out the guards’ requests on behalf of the adventurers who had left the city.
‘Well, I can’t even scold you too much.’
Kalm is similar in height to the princess.
Surprisingly, Kalm’s actual age was exactly 20, two years younger than Siron’s.
He said that from what Niel had heard, he was smaller than he is now when he was still growing up.
Moreover, when he was captured by the Nuit Church, he even heard from his own mouth that he was an orphan.
Maybe that’s why when Kalm does something strange, he wants to feed him potatoes, but when Kalm jumps in front of him, that feeling disappears.
‘It’s fortunate that the world has turned around.’
If it were a normal place, he would have been kidnapped and left behind again and again.
For that reason, I told Niel to give me a little pocket money each day. The other apostles also speak harshly, but Naiel also told me that he secretly takes care of Kalm, so that’s probably okay.
Finally, he said that he would soon bring me a prototype of the medicine I had requested.
Considering that it was only six days ago that the request was made, the speed is incredible.
‘If you feed it and use a new holy object…’
When the effects of the drug wear off, perhaps something beyond my imagination will happen.
“Wow.”
I just imagined it for a moment, but blood rushed down below.
I quickly shook off the frivolous thoughts floating around in my head.
‘But can Ardella and your sister go together?’
The time given to Ardella was two weeks, and a week had already passed. Moreover, my sister was originally unable to escape from this city.
“Ah.”
I jumped up.
“When are you going to release me as a slave?”
I forgot about it for a moment, but he definitely said that when he came back this time, he would free me from slavery. There’s nothing particularly annoying, but the word slave isn’t a very pleasant thing to hear.
“… Wouldn’t it be a good idea to go and ask now?”
They’re probably working hard on restoration work, so it doesn’t seem right to go there and ask that question. It’s not that urgent, so I think it would be a good idea to ask her later in the bathhouse when she comes back.
“I’d like to go for a walk.”
There were many sacred objects that I wanted to make, but it was not easy to add freshness to them.
As soon as the seniors informed us of the new news that the desired effect could be given by obtaining materials that could replace abilities, they all left to find something.
Senior Hole didn’t register a rating, perhaps because he’s still enjoying Holy Relics.
“Tskcha.”
I shook my ass and stood up.
It had been a long time since I had time alone, but as the number of people I had to take responsibility for increased, it was difficult to hold on to the sacred items as tightly as before.
“I should go and say hello to some people and find Lina who is playing and have a chat.”
Since she unintentionally harmed Lina with the Golden Old Tree incident, she plans to meet her and buy her something to eat.
She turned off the light in the basement and walked up the stairs.
“Beneo~?”
Step, step, step, footsteps were heard from the stairs on the second floor, and soon after, Beneo appeared wearing an apron.
“Are you done?”
“Draining the water in the bathtub.”
“… Are you going to go there?”
“Hmm. Rather, why did you call me? Do you need a snack?”
“No. “I want to go for a short walk.”
“Walk.”
“Ok.”
Beneo looked at my face for a moment.
“Don’t wander around for too long and come back soon.”
“Why?”
“It’s going to rain.”
“… Rain?”
Warm sunlight coming through the window.
Even the sky was clear without a single cloud.
“Uh, yes. “I’ll be right back.”
“Don’t follow someone just because they let you touch their breasts.”
“… “Can you please stop saying that?”
“Well.”
Beneo chuckled and went up to the second floor again.
‘If you look closely, Beneo is also very playful.’
Of course, that was probably a mixture of joking and sincerity.
Anyway, I grabbed a bag containing some silver coins from the cupboard in front of the entrance and came out.
“It’s really spring.”
The weather is mild and even the wind is warm.
Just a little more time will pass and summer will come again.
‘Well, a lot has changed.’
Until just a year ago, I worked as a receptionist at a guild, receiving two silver coins a month.
I never dreamed of eating meat every morning, and I lived a life where sleeping on a bed as hard as a rock was natural, and I was just grateful for the fact that I had a bed.
‘Now even if I beat him to death, he won’t be able to live like that.’
Every morning, I wake up in the arms of my lovely lover in a soft bed. And I am enjoying a life of filling my stomach with food full of love and sincerity and relieving my fatigue in a spacious bathtub, not a bathtub.
I, whose monthly salary was two silver coins, now have a house with a bathhouse and nine lovers.
‘I have to work hard.’
So that you can take the happiness you have now with you until the end.
“Mr. Smith.”
“Oh wow… ?!”
I was about to swear at the sound that suddenly came from next to me, but I quickly closed my mouth when I remembered that it was a familiar voice.
“Sorry. “I called quietly, but there was no answer.”
“Oh, no. Are you okay.”
I asked, lightly patting Bex’s shoulder as she lowered her head with a dull expression.
“Did something happen?”
Niel attended the regular report yesterday.
From the beginning, I was told that if I had anything to suggest, I should go through Niel, so it wasn’t easy to come up with a reason for Vex to come.
“Nothing happened, but news came from the temple, and I, the fastest person, came.”
“Oh, I see.”
I glanced at the hand that was touching my shoulder, watched Bex’s reaction as her cheeks blushed slightly, and slowly returned my hand to its original position.
“So. “They say the judging starts now?”
“… No.”
Vex coughed briefly and continued.
“The review is over and we have announced that we will recognize the new religion.”
I think I should remind Beneo that he will likely be late returning home.
