Smith， a Black Company in Another World 606

Chapter 606 – Ep.604 Tullius Empire

“I’m here~”

I returned to the mansion, faster than a carriage and comfortably held in Giena’s arms, and entered the entrance to let everyone know that I had arrived.

So she takes off my coat, puts it on her arm, and walks down the hallway with me and goes inside.

“It came sooner than I thought.”

Beneo, wearing an apron, trudged down the stairs on this floor and gave me his characteristic blunt look.

“Beneo. “Can I ask you for dinner?”
“I thought you would come home after eating.”
“I promised to come early, but I don’t think it would be a good idea to come back after eating.”
“… “For something like that.”

Beneo arrived in front of us and twitched his nose slightly.

“I think I had quite a bit of fun.”
“Hmm.”

I quietly averted my gaze.

“I will straighten my clothes and come down.”

So I went up to this floor, using her coat over her arm as a shield. How can you leave me like this? I’ll have to make it so that it only goes by ear tonight.

“Wash your hands and come to the kitchen.”
“Thank you.”
“… “I can also be a good escort.”
“Oh.”

As I hugged him around the waist from behind and kissed the nape of his neck, Beneo lightly pinched the back of my hand around his waist and then went to the kitchen, swaying his hips.

Once I was alone, I headed to the bathroom on the first floor, scrubbed my hands thoroughly, then wiped them thoroughly with a towel before coming out.

“Smith.”
“Cernax.”

And on the way to the kitchen, I ran into Kernax, who was carefully coming down holding on to the railing of the stairs.

I quickly ran over and helped Kernax.

“Why are you coming down alone? “What about poetry?”
“Uhm…”

‘… ?’

What. What happened?

“Winter. “Dad, I’m here~”

Since I don’t have the hobby of asking questions about things he doesn’t want to talk about, I quickly gently stroked Kernax’s swollen belly and gently lifted his ear.

Exciting─ Exciting─

Another heartbeat, not Kernax’s, but very small and feeble, is heard.

Pff─

“Uh… ?”

Hearing a small sound, I felt a tickling sensation on my cheek and looked at Kernax’s swollen belly with startled eyes.

“Hehe, you went to bed early yesterday. “I guess you’re still awake today.”

I came to my senses at the sound of Kernax’s happy voice and couldn’t help but laugh along with Kernax.

“But if Winter doesn’t sleep… “I can’t do it today?”
“Hmm!! Boo, let’s go to the kitchen.”
“Hehe, okay.”

I very carefully helped Kernax, who was embarrassed, and moved to the kitchen.

“Cernax. “If you want to eat something, please tell me.”
“… “Then I would like a cup of warm tea, please.”
“I get it.”

Beneo went back into the kitchen to make tea, and Kernax and I sat down at the table.

“Ego.”
“I can eat it.”

I did not refuse Kernax’s dinner service and ate the thick slices of meat. And not long after, Beneo returned with a bottle of breast milk and healthy tea made with healthy herbs and honey.

“Isn’t it hot?”
“Yes. Thank you.”
“Why with something like this?”

I was deeply moved by the friendly conversation between Kernax and Beneo, which I could not have imagined even a year ago.

‘He’s truly blessed.’

The wives not only have pretty faces, but they also have kind hearts.

Honestly, there were many times when I was so happy that I wondered if I could be this happy.

“Hmm?”

The moment I put breast milk in a glass bottle in my mouth while happily listening to the conversation between the two wives, my eyes widened at the taste that was different from usual.

“Cernax?”
“… “It’s mine.”

Kernax, who was sipping tea while avoiding my gaze with slightly red cheeks, answered.

Then, I put Kernax’s breast milk in a glass bottle in my mouth and savored it very slowly.

“Well, I think it would be better to just drink it…”
“Umm~”

I shook my head at Kernax, who was embarrassed, and then closed my eyes, showing my determination to fully savor the taste.

A subtle sweetness spread after a slightly tangy taste like yogurt.

Considering that Siran’s breast milk tastes like real milk mixed with honey, it had a completely different taste.

“Delicious. So much so that I want to drink it every day.”
“… If you want to drink it, you can drink it.”
“Really?”

Up until this morning, I had definitely refused because I was embarrassed, but what kind of wind suddenly blew?

“… Instead, promise not to bite or tease him like you did yesterday.”
“I’ll promise.”
“Ha…”

I nodded with my eyes sparkling as much as possible, and Kernax nodded with a small sigh with a shy face.

“You really like breasts.”
“To be exact, I like the breasts of the woman I love.”
“I’d like to believe that, but I’ve seen a little too much.”
“Hmm…”

I scratched my cheek sheepishly and continued eating after hearing Beneo’s factual violence for the first time in a long time.

“You guys go up first.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you.”

Leaving behind Beneo, who was in charge of cleaning up after me, I supported Kernax again and slowly walked towards the bedroom.

“The imperial knights… “How is it?”
“Imperial knight?”
“Hmm.”

In response to Kernax’s question, I briefly whipped my brain, which was full from satiety.

“It’s not an empty remark, Kernax, you and the knights next to Ardel seemed more amazing and admirable.”
“Hmm… Well, that can’t be possible.”
“Is it true?”

It was true that the answer was intended to make Kernax happy, but it wasn’t a complete lie either.

I don’t know about their skills, but I thought Ardel’s knights were much better at controlling themselves when dealing with men.

“And the best knight for me is always you. Cernax.”
“Ugh…”

Cernax gently squeezed her breast and groaned.

“… “The enemy of women.”
“Suddenly?”

When I asked in confusion, Kernax looked up at me with a pouty face for a moment, then smiled and rested his head comfortably on my chest.

“… “It reminds me of Lina and the other kids.”
“Let’s finish it quickly and go back.”
“… Huh.”

I walked down the hallway with Kernax at a slightly slower pace than usual and headed to the bedroom. And the moment I opened the door to the bedroom where everyone was waiting and entered.

“Omg… ?!”
“Uh?”

Siron, who was wandering around the table, spotted me and jumped towards the bed with wide-eyed surprise.

The problem was that Siron, who was jumping on the bed, had a large handprint on his left cheek.

After saying hello to the other wives, I took Kernax to the bed where Siron was lying face down, and tried to hug him by the waist and hold him in my arms.

“Shironaaaaa!!”

It was nice to have an arm around his waist, but Siron didn’t move at all.

“Hey? Miss Siron?”
“…”

A theory that doesn’t even answer.

What really happened?

After letting go of Shiran’s waist, I gestured to Siran, who was sitting on the sofa and giggling, and asked.

‘Did it happen like that while training?’

‘No way. Even if I hit you, I hit you without it being noticeable.’

Well, Siran is hitting me without a trace.

“Uh… Smith… ?”
“Uh? Why?”

Cernax, who was sitting next to her, pulled on her sleeve with a slightly embarrassed look on her face, then she slowly raised her body and put her mouth to my ear and whispered in a very low voice.

“That is…”

The reason for the handprint on Siron’s cheek and the culprit are revealed.

“Tsk tsk… “What else can I say?”

The culprit who stamped Siron’s cheek was Kernax. It is said that the reason why the handprint was made was because Cernax was watching from the side while milking breast milk, and put it in his mouth and sucked on it.

To be exact, Kernax gave permission, but the accident occurred inadvertently as he playfully followed me, ignoring the warning to stop.

“Our Shiron~ Did you miss your mom’s embrace? Huh? Woojjujju~”
“…”

It’s been a long time since I laughed out loud.

In response, I happily patted Siron’s butt and teased him.

“Ugh?!”

That was the last thing I remember of that day.

**

“”Chuuuuung──!!””

The loud voices of the members, whose spirit was dozens of times higher than usual, shook the knights’ building.

“… Uh. Okay.”

I roughly rubbed my throbbing abdomen and waved my hands. Then the members straightened their postures, and Roan, who was standing in front, came towards me and held out a small box.

“Membership card. “Twenty pages to be exact.”
“Good job… “I will give you what I promised on Monday.”
“Yes. Then, I will provide training to new recruits in preparation for tomorrow.”
“Okay… “Don’t forget to come up later after lunch.”
“All right.”

After patting Roan, who had become a loyalist overnight, on the shoulder, I entered the office with Giena, leaving behind the dead-faced members.

[Are you okay? ]

“So so… ?”

The price for making fun of Siron was severe.

Who would have thought that he could kick me in the abdomen with his back foot?

Fortunately, Nemea was able to use healing with the help of the Sith, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to go to work today.

As soon as I got to work, I stretched out on her chair and tried to catch some shuteye.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Isn’t someone knocking on the door without notice?

“… Who?”

-Lord Smith. This is Oren.

I looked at the clock on the wall for a moment at the unexpected person.

It hasn’t even been five minutes since I left for work, so why has that guy already arrived?

“… “Come in.”
“Hehe, hello!!”

Oren, who seemed to have gained a bit of weight, came in through the door and smiled brightly at me.

“Is the prince calling you?”
“No. “The prince is busy preparing for the ball tomorrow.”
“Then?”
“He told me to give you this.”

Oren handed me a golden envelope that she had seen many times before.

‘Now that I think about it, you said at the ball that I would write down what I had to do and send it in a letter.’

The conversation with the man was not something I could remember well, so I fumbled through my vague memories, took the envelope, and tore open the roughly sealed opening.

『Lord Smith. “You have no idea how reassuring it feels to know that you are helping me.”

From the first sentence, without any introduction, words praising me were listed one after another.

I was skimming through unnecessary content and was only able to find the proper content when I moved on to the second chapter.

『If the princesses talk to you tomorrow, please respond appropriately without worrying about what I think. And when you get to the second half, offer wine to the princess or lady you like the most.』

Is there any meaning to recommending wine?

『If the other person accepts it, you don’t have to be by my side from then on. Try to act accordingly. That’s enough for that day.』

The rest continued with useless rhetoric, such as asking us to meet in person the next day and talk, and at the end, it was written that we should burn it after reading it.

After roughly tearing up the letter and throwing it away in a drawer, I asked Oren, who was quietly sitting on the sofa and blinking blankly.

“What is the meaning of a man offering wine to a woman at a prom?”
“At a prom or party, offering someone a drink means inviting them to spend the night together.”
“… Okay?”

So, are you asking me to serve as a bed attendant for high-ranking people?

At that time, I was trying to think carefully about the prince’s intentions.

“By the way, Lord Smith.”

Oren, who was quiet, called me.

“I couldn’t even eat breakfast and was waiting outside for the Lord to come…”
“…”
“Lol.”

Was that guy that shameless?

I looked at him in bewilderment for a moment, then picked up the lunch basket from below and placed it on the desk.

“Take it and eat it.”

It may be absurd, but you can’t starve a growing child.
