Chapter 57 – Ep.57 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
Squeeze.
I woke up to a prickling sensation on my cheek.
“Are you awake?”
“… ?”
As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was Siron’s playful face smiling brightly.
From the looks of it, he was playing with me by poking my cheek with his finger.
I slowly turned my head and looked out the window.
Looking at the bluish light, it seems that it is still dawn.
I yawned slightly and hugged Siron’s waist tightly, rubbing his face against his soft and cozy chest.
The unique sweet flower scent that only emanated from Siron’s body and the smell of the flesh on his chest combined, and I felt like I was going to fall asleep again soon.
“It’s not even a baby, you really like breasts.”
“Ok… The best.”
Among the guys with a sword attached to their lower body, how many of them actually hate women’s breasts?
What is certain is that it is not me.
When I rub my cheek, the feeling of a pleasant pressure and the feeling of the product gently moving in the direction I am rubbing is very addictive. Can’t stop It’s so great that you want to touch it for the rest of your life.
“But you idiot.”
“… Why.”
“She came yesterday. Should I tell her to come back later?”
“Yesterday… ?”
I buried my face in Siron’s chest and frowned slightly.
The person who came yesterday… The person who came yesterday…
Ah.
Mr. Geena.
This is definitely the person who returned yesterday, saying he would come visit us in the morning.
And now you’re waiting?
“… Siron. “Isn’t it morning now?”
“Well, the sun has risen, so it’s closer to morning than dawn.”
I looked up at Siron with a sullen face.
Siron was laughing heartily. As expected, it seems like teasing me is fun.
“Anyway… Giena-san is waiting now?”
“Uh. “It’s waiting at the door.”
“…”
To be honest, I didn’t want to get up.
She wanted to sleep a little longer by burying her face in Siron’s soft chest.
It may be because she scolded Siron and patted her buttocks and her pussy until late at night, but she was very tired.
“Shiron. You seem to have a lot of energy… ?”
“It’s thanks to Mr. Nugu who helped me release all the accumulated stress. “I think that’s why I feel so refreshed.”
“Is that so…”
Even just last night, Siron, who had been crying because she had done something wrong, woke up from a short sleep and her face was so full of vitality that a faint glow was visible.
“Okay…”
“It’s okay to sleep more.”
“No… “I’m in a position to learn, but I can’t do that.”
When I released my hands from around her waist and got up from the bed, Shiron looked at me as her face went from smiling to a slightly sullen one, a different reaction from what I had expected.
It seems that Siron was thinking of me sleeping a little longer in his arms.
Honestly, I would like to do that, but as I said before, I am in a learning position, so I think I shouldn’t.
Fortunately, things including the pussy juice that Siron had leaked yesterday were neatly resolved with Bizellan’s scroll, so I rubbed my sleepy eyes a little and opened the door wide.
“… ?”
What was visible beyond the wide open door was an empty hallway.
It was a time when I was scratching my head in a moment of embarrassment.
“Good morning.”
“Uh…”
As she slowly poked her head out from her left side to say hello and revealed her presence, my heart instantly sank and sank because of Mr. Na’s fault.
“Joe, good morning.”
“Yes. “It’s a really good morning.”
Unlike me, Giena seemed genuinely in a good mood.
Gienna’s orange eyes were sparkling like the sun that was about to rise.
“May I come in?”
“Ah, yep. “Please come in.”
I stepped aside to make it easier for Giena to come in. However, Ms. Na did not come in right away, but instead bent her body to the left for a moment, and the sound of her fumbling around to get something was heard.
“Her… “What is all that?”
“I’ll go in and let you know.”
Giena came into my room carrying several pieces of wood thicker than my forearms. And she naturally sat down in the desk chair she had sat in yesterday.
I was about to say something, but I just closed my mouth and quietly sat down on the bed where Siron was lying.
When I sat down, Siron crawled over and laid down with his head on my thigh. As a habit, I gently brushed Siron’s silky hair as he lay on my thigh.
I wonder if it was rude to Giena-san in the middle of it. She tried to stop, but fortunately or not, she didn’t seem to be interested in Siron and my actions at all. So she decided to just keep stroking it.
I patted Siron’s head and waited until Na had neatly organized the tree she had brought.
It didn’t take long to clean up. After making sure all her trees were neatly arranged, I asked Gigi Na.
“What about those trees?”
“They are good guys when it comes to making bows.”
I roughly thought it would be like that. However, looking at what I said about good guys, it seems like there are many different types.
The reason I said this is because to my eyes, all the pieces of wood standing side by side looked like that guy.
Thsbeol, even the shell looks a little different.
They all look the same, from the size to the color of the shell, so how can you tell them apart?
“Are you carrying these around with you on a regular basis?”
“It can’t be. “I woke up in the morning and rescued him.”
“… “If it’s morning, today?”
Giena nodded her head with sparkling eyes.
“I heard from people in the guild that Mr. Smith needs to go through a very strict process in order to leave the city, so I came here to get some exercise as well.”
“No… Uh… Well, thanks… Do?”
“Are you okay. “I went for a walk as well.”
“Well, I see.”
Maybe it was because he said it with such a calm smile, but for a moment I thought, ‘Is this really not a big deal?’
No, what kind of person can’t sleep?
Even now, it seems like there’s still about an hour left until the sun fully rises, but if you went out of the city to get those trees and came back, it would have happened much earlier than that…
I couldn’t help but smile awkwardly when I saw Ms. Giena looking at me with her bewildered eyes.
“Then, is it okay if we start?”
“Ah, yep. “I will listen intently.”
“Hmm. Your posture is very good. Great. “Then let’s get started.”
Gina lifted one of the pieces of wood that was lying at her feet.
“This guy is called Kkangnamu. As the name suggests, if you knock like this…”
Kangkang.
When Gi Na lightly struck her piece of wood with her hand, she heard a sound that did not fit the wood at all.
“You can hear the sound of tapping on empty metal like this. And would you like to hear it?”
“Ah, yep.”
I received a guy called Kkangnamu from Mr. Giena. And I was surprised.
Because it was much lighter than I thought.
“Contrary to its appearance, it is very light, isn’t it?”
“Yes. It’s really light. “Isn’t this hollow?”
“People who touch a cane tree for the first time often think that way. But there is no need to doubt because the inside is full. Now, like this…”
Gina took out one of her daggers from her waist, took the stick from her hand, and stabbed it into her head.
“Is it full?”
“It’s true. But why is it so light?”
“Iknow, right. “Many craftsmen and scholars, including me, are investing time and effort to uncover the secret, but there has been no significant results yet.”
“Hmm… “He’s an amazing guy.”
“Yes. What’s also funny is that although this guy has such unique characteristics, he can be found very easily all over the continent.”
“You mean it’s commonly available?”
“Yes. Easily anywhere…”
“It’s easy to see, but it’s almost like a pest to woodcutters and loggers.”
Siron, who was lying on my thigh and being quietly stroked, yawned and grumbled.
“Yes. It is as it says. “This guy is so light and sounds like he’s hollow, but he’s so strong that it’s hard to even scratch him without a very sharp ax and strength.”
“… “This?”
“Yes. Would you like to give it a try?”
Ms. Ki Na held out the dagger she was holding in her hand to me.
Out of curiosity, I wanted to get a dagger and stab the tree.
“Don’t do it.”
“Ok?”
“Stop. “Have you ever held a sword?”
“… “No.”
“Don’t do it because it’s easy to hurt your wrist.”
As I was about to reach for the dagger, I heard Siron frowning and cautioning me, nodded his head, and calmly placed my hand on Siron’s hair.
“Sorry. I’m so excited so stop. Then let’s do it like this.”
Giena nodded her head at Siron’s words and apologized politely, saying that she had done something wrong. Then, she put her dagger between her feet with the blade facing upwards, and then dropped the stick of wood she was holding on top of it.
Kaan-
With the sound of iron clashing against iron, the tree that touched the sharp tip of the dagger rolled under my feet as if nothing had happened.
I picked up the stick and looked at the surface that touched the dagger a moment ago.
It was clean without a single scratch.
“… If you make something like a guard or shield with this, wouldn’t you be able to make something very cheap and durable?”
“Yes. But it’s not cheap.”
“Didn’t you say it was a common tree?”
“It’s common. It is common, but not only is it not easy to cut down, but it is also a very difficult tree that requires a lot of time and effort to process. First of all, it has to be soaked in salt water for at least 15 days to give it elasticity to keep its shape, but if the concentration is not adjusted properly, it will quickly rot. Many craftsmen fail at this stage. However, even if you succeed in giving elasticity after a long time, the next problem is…”
Gina poured out her words like a dam whose floodgates had burst.
I quietly stroked Siron’s head and listened to Gienna.
To be honest, there was a lot of jargon in the middle so I could barely understand what was being said, but she nodded in agreement.
“For that reason, even though this tree is common, items made from it are not cheap.”
“Indeed.”
Hmm. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if you can roughly process it, you can get a really good product, but the processing is very difficult and there are only a few craftsmen who can process it, so the price of the product is very expensive. Wouldn’t it be enough to understand it to that extent?
“Well, if you make a bow out of this tree, what kind of guy will you get?” …”
I thought I had just finished explaining about kimchi, but Mr. Giena started explaining the features and disadvantages of bows made from kimchi without stopping.
“That’s why every archer wants to have a bow made from this tree.”
“Oh, yes. Okay.”
She says that bows made of cane wood are so elastic that they can shoot arrows even to places that cannot be seen, as long as there is a string to support the elasticity of the bow.
She also said that not only is it elastic, but it is also hard, so when someone ambushes her, she can block quite a few stab wounds with the bow without having to roll over.
Those two things were all I understood. He said a lot of things, but he spoke too fast and most of the terms were incomprehensible to me…
“Then next…”
Giena put down the tree and picked up another tree.
I was scared inside.
If nothing else, it was because I was just talking about a tree, and before I knew it, warm sunlight was seeping into the bluish window frame that made me feel drowsy just by looking at it.
Yes. It means that the sun has fully risen.
You could say I’m making a fuss when I’m just sitting there listening to the story, but that should be to a certain extent.
It feels like I sat like a statue for two hours just listening to stories, but how can I endure this?
It’s not a joke, but I started to doubt whether the officer I served in the military had followed me into another world.
Since I had already started talking about her second piece of wood, I watched Mr. Na’s notice and secretly looked at Shiron lying on her thigh.
Quietly.
Unfortunately, Siron seemed to have fallen asleep while I was listening to Gienna’s explanation.
I desperately wait for my oblivious belly clock to ring as the only way out…
“This guy…”
Waiting.
“This guy again…”
Waiting.
“And this one…”
Crawl-
“This is my first time explaining something like this to someone, so I’m not sure if I said it right.”
“… So, you’re saying that if you can process that bastard tree, you can make the best bow, right?”
“Ah yes. Yes.”
“… Very. “That was a great explanation.”
“Is that so? I’m so glad. “In fact, I was very worried even though I was asking if I had missed anything.”
Ms. Giena smiled brightly and got up from her seat.
“Ah, I’ll give it to you as a gift so you can see it with your own eyes and get used to it.”
“… Thank you so much.”
“What. Ah, Mr. Smith.”
“Yes. Yes. “This is Smith.”
“Yes?”
“No. No. “Why are you doing this?”
“Anyway, if you make a bow, can I come see it?”
“Oh, yes. Sure. Of course. I will definitely show you. Are you staying at the guild? When it’s completed, I’ll come and show it to you. Absolutely. Please.”
“Thank you. “The time doesn’t matter, so please feel free to come visit us at any time.”
“I will. Yes.”
“Okay, I’ll see you later.”
“Yes. Yes. “Please go in carefully.”
Giena left my room with a smile as bright as when she came in.
I was in a daze for a moment, so I looked at her door when Na had left, and then she massaged Siron’s chest while he was sleeping oblivious to the world.
“Shiron.
“… Why.”
After playing with her breasts a few times, Siron started to twitch and woke up with her eyes scrunched up.
I lightly pinched Shiron’s cheek, who was looking up at me with a sullen expression.
“Let’s go have lunch…” .”
