Chapter 490 – Ep.489 Kalan Grand Forest
I had just walked a short distance after leaving Rihina’s room.
“Mr. Smith.”
Gienna walked towards me at great speed.
“… “If my mother ever told you stories about my childhood, most of them would be lies, so I would be grateful if you could erase them from my mind.”
Then she suddenly said that with a very serious face.
“I never drink tea…” …”
I loved the sight of her desperately trying to distract me from her shameful past, so I inadvertently covered her lips. Of course, using my lips.
“You didn’t say anything. But seeing Giena say that, I suddenly became interested? Should I go and ask now?”
“Uh, um…”
At this point, she couldn’t get the words out, asking her not to go towards me, so she pursed her lips and groaned.
So I gently pulled myself into her arms and buried my face in the crook of her neck.
‘I need to get something to replace her thread…’ …’
I will use whatever means I can to find a way to bring Rihina and her thread together, even if only for Giena’s sake.
“Let’s go back.”
“… Yes.”

The way back was very short.
“We came… Uh?”
As I opened the front door of the mansion with Gienna and entered, I found the last guest sitting on the sofa.
“Iona.”
She was rubbing the small bump on the top of her head. She carefully got up from her seat and turned her body towards me.
“… Hello.”
She couldn’t get her glasses and still greeted me with her eyes frowning.
“I went to visit during the day, but Elder Gior sent me away.”
“… Late. Sleep… Slept.”
I may have overslept, but I must have fallen asleep after consoling myself quite intensely.
I swallowed my unnecessary words and sat down on the sofa across from Iona.
Percussion.
As if he had been waiting, Beneo, who was in the kitchen, placed a cup full of sweet breast milk in front of me.
“Others are learning to knit on the third floor.”
“To Siran?”
“No, to the black cat.”
“Oh…”
Even on Earth, cats just roll up hairballs and things like that, so is that why?
Hello.
The sweetness that lingers for a long time without being excessive makes my tongue happy.
I opened my mouth only after soothing my tired tongue and throat with Siran’s breast milk.
“Have you heard anything else from Elder Gior?”
“… No. “After putting on my clothes, he told me to just go over here and wait.”
As expected, the polite demeanor shown at the mansion a little while ago seems to have been cowardly. Personally, I prefer the cool look he had when I first met him, but I think it would be a good idea to sneak a conversation next time you get the chance.
“You look very tired, so I’ll get to the point quickly. “I’m planning to leave here in a few days, and I want to take Iona with me then.”
“… “Me?”
“Yes. “Iona, you.”
Because her eyesight was poor, her eyes slowly blinked as she looked at me with her forehead frowning.
“… Why?”
“I need you.”
I feel sorry for her, but I also still don’t know why I need a secretary.
“… “Scribe.”
“That’s right.”
“…”
Just as she seemed to have finally smoothed out the wrinkles that had appeared on her forehead, she again began to think deeply about something, creating a deep valley on her forehead.
‘I told Gior that I would prioritize Iona’s feelings…’
It was a statement made out of confidence that she would never reject my offer.
But what is the reality?
“… Hmm.”
I thought she would come up with an answer right away, but she was thinking and thinking until I had completely emptied the breast milk in the cup.
‘Should we really take him by force…? ?’
It was when I was rubbing the cold sweat from my hands on my pants without anyone knowing.
“… To be honest. “I don’t want to go.”
“Can I hear the reason?”
For a moment, her heart sank, but I asked, trying my best to keep it as obvious as possible.
“… Something that moves. “It’s annoying.”
That’s really her reason.
“… And. Now the males can’t use their strength. You can play and eat. “I can solve my sexual desire with what you gave me.”
Oh my god.
I never thought the day would come when the sacred object I created would grab my ankle.
After all, should she have been tamed like the other two elves?
“… However. I don’t want to go, but… “I’ll follow you.”
“Umm…”
I couldn’t bring myself to say that it was okay if I didn’t force him to follow me.
If she suddenly asks that question, it will be very, very difficult. And I don’t remember benefiting from playing with the muzzle in most of these situations.
“… Instead, read the fairy tale I wrote together.”
“However much.”
“… There are other reasons, too. “If you say you’re not going anyway, mom will tie you up and send you by.”
Indeed, Io I knew her mother very well.
“… When. Are you leaving?”
“I plan to leave in two days.”
I wanted to stay a little longer and leave after saying hello to the world tree, Sil, when it wakes up, but there were people waiting for me in the fortress for as long as a year, so I had to leave here as quickly as possible and head to the fortress.
“… Then. “I have to pack my bags, so I’ll just get up and see.”
“Ah yes. “Thank you for coming in person.”
“… “It’s my fault for sleeping in late.”
Iona stood up.
“Ah…”
“Oh my.”
And immediately she lost her footing and fell, but she was able to catch her just in the nick of time.
“… Thank you.”
“What. Rather, did you come here alone?”
“… “My mom took me there.”
The nape of her neck turns red as she is held in her arms.
“I’ll take you there. Gienna?”
Meanwhile, as soon as the woman wearing her apron heard my call, she took off her apron and came to her side.
“Let’s go.”
“… Thank you.”
“What. And when we go outside, I will give you snow as a gift.”
“… Eye?”
“Yes. “Then let’s go.”

Since it was a relatively close distance, it didn’t take long for Iona to see her off.
“Whoa, I’m back.”
“Wash your hands first.”
“… Yes.”
I went to the kitchen with Gienna and washed my hands with cool running water. And with his dry hands, he hugged Beneo’s waist, who was already preparing dinner, from behind.
“I didn’t tell you to wash your hands earlier.”
“I have no intention of killing her husband in front of outsiders.”
“Bene… Ah?!”
The moment I was about to be moved by her consideration, Beneo pinched the back of my hand like a ghost and took the hand from around her waist.
“Don’t disturb me, just go up and watch me knit.”
“… “Does Beneo know how to knit?”
“Hmph, you’re asking an obvious question.”
Beneo snorted as if it were completely natural.
Honestly, if Shiron had reacted like that, I would never have trusted her.
However, I thought that Beneo, who usually does all the housework, could do that.
“What about Giena?”
“We don’t know how to do it because we don’t have that culture.”
“Hmm, I see.”
That also made sense.
The number of beastmen is slightly smaller, but they still live together with humans, so their cultures may be mixed to some extent, but in the case of elves, they have been isolated for a long time, so even if you do not know knitting, you can fully understand them.
“Then how do elves bless children when they are born?”
“The Mother of the Forest herself blesses you.”
“Aha.”
Come to think of it, I heard that elves don’t get any diseases while in this forest, and that seems to be a type of blessing given to the elves by the thread.
“Hmm… Then it goes up?”
“Go quickly.”
“I’ll go up in the evening.”
Actually, I was thinking of getting some help to relieve some of the energy I was trying to suppress.
‘Let’s just go up.’
Giena will serve me at any time, but Beneo will not. Of course, if I come out a little stronger, I will help with the service with a very dissatisfied expression.
‘… ‘Shall we?’
When she thought of Beneo’s face, eager to serve with a dissatisfied face, she was momentarily shocked.
‘Write…’
But she persevered.
Considering my stamina that will only get stronger in the future, I shouldn’t give in to this temptation so easily.
‘Okay. ‘It’s still bearable.’
Her panties felt a little uncomfortable, but she could bear it.
For that reason, I left the two people behind and took the stairs.
‘You’re awake.’
Before heading to the third floor, I checked Nemea’s room first. And after checking the empty bed, I went up to the third floor.
‘Let’s see…’
I quietly put my ear to the door.
-Amela. I guess I told you that you shouldn’t break it with force if it’s twisted, right?
-I’m sorry…
‘Oh… ?’
For a moment, I thought I heard wrong.
-Same goes for Siron. How many needles do you break and eat?
-This is too weak…
-Then how will you explain Siran and Nemea?
-Ugh…
But I didn’t hear wrong.
Surprisingly, it seems that Nyaho, who was always being bullied, is proudly playing the role of a teacher inside.
‘Besides, Nemea-sama is also with us.’
This is a very positive change.
As everyone’s husband, I couldn’t be happier.
-Well, I think he started a few days before me. My dexterity is poor.
-Ah?! Have you said everything?
-Why are you doing that? Ah, I was just muttering to myself, but it seems you heard me.
-Ha, ha!! Mr. Lee…
Baaaaa!!
A very familiar sound was heard.
-Off… !!
-Ugh… !!
Then, the sounds of my sister and Nemea groaning followed suit.
-Kernax I’m concentrating, so shut your mouth and move your hands.
-… Tsk.
-… Joy.
I didn’t stop the corners of my mouth from rising and lifted my ear from the door.
The fight between my sister and Nemea was cute, and I was also thankful that Siran, who would have normally told me to shut up, softened his words out of consideration for Kernax and my child.
“I heard Kernax is also concentrating…”
Let’s not go in and disturb them for no reason.
‘I should talk to my seniors while taking a shower.’
Aside from senior Gyeo, I also have to check on requests from two other seniors and also ask questions about the World Tree.
I quietly headed to the bathroom.
