Chapter 1173 – Ep.1171 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
Fortunately, Siran gave up quickly.
I thought she was going to be quite wet and droopy, but when I touched her cheek and hummed a lullaby, she immediately closed her eyes and began breathing calmly.
‘There are no real angels when you sleep.’
I grabbed the hand that was covering her mouth and took a close look at Siran’s peaceful face as she fell asleep with her cheek pressed against her.
“The bangs were a little long.”
In the past, even if you pulled it up, it would just hang slightly over your eyebrows, but now it has come down to the point where it covers your eyes if you don’t pull it back neatly.
‘I also have quite long hair… ‘Did you?’
The last time I cut my hair was probably before I went to the Demon Continent. However, I didn’t really notice it because I didn’t feel any discomfort, but now that I think about it, I realized that the length of growth seemed a little excessively small compared to the period when I didn’t cut it.
I haven’t cut it in over a year, but the length is still above my eyebrows.
‘Hair loss, isn’t it… ?’
Because there were no mirrors in every bath or bathroom, I never really checked my face. In the first place, mirrors were used by men, not women, here, so although they were not rare, it was difficult to find them.
“Tal, drive…” … No. Yes.”
I received divinity from the World Tree and even had my body reorganized, but now I’m losing my hair? That is truly something that cannot happen and should not happen.
‘I was shocked.’
“Uhm…”
I lightly pinched Siran’s cheek, which made my heart sink, and a cute valley appeared between her relaxed, beautiful eyebrows.
I was absent-mindedly touching Siran’s body, wondering if it was because he was on vacation or because he was really busy. I spent some insignificant time checking the chat window to see if the seniors I had no contact with had returned.

Knock. Knock. Knock.
“Come in.”
The person who opened the door and came in was, of course, Giena… I thought it would be.
“Rita?”
“Yes. “Master.”
“Uh, no. Well, you worked hard.”
“No.”
Rita gently bows her head in greeting.
At Rita’s neat gesture, I brushed her face once.
‘Crazy guy.’
The moment Rita opened her door and entered, I remembered that she had come to the royal capital with Ardel and Gina to save me. And the fact that she deliberately stayed around the city and not in the royal castle so as not to disturb the exclusion of Ardel and Ardella.
“… Is dinner ready?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll be out soon. “Can you wait at the door for a moment?”
“Yes.”
She bowed her head slightly, just as she had when she came in, then walked behind her and quietly left the bedroom.
“What is poetry, what is poetry?”
“Ugh…”
“Uh-huh, you can’t rub your face there now.”
When she pressed her cheek to wake her up, Jiran immediately turned her body to the side and pushed her face into his groin.
“Stop it and get up.”
“Uuuuu!!”
Unable to push it away, I pulled Siran’s ear, and only then did Siran move his body and raise his upper body.
“Let’s go have dinner.”
“… “I don’t want to eat it.”
“Even if I don’t want to eat, I eat.”
“I don’t like it…”
“Don’t lie down.”
I naturally hugged my waist and gently stroked the bridge of Shiran’s nose as he lay down.
“Are you really not going to eat it?”
“… Bizeline I need to contact that bitch. She originally said she was going in the evening.”
“Oh, there’s nothing we can do about that. Then, once you’re done contacting me, come to the kitchen.”
“Think about it.”
Siran gently raised her body, and I sat upright, kissed her on the lips, and left the bedroom.
“Rita.”
“Yes.”
“I’m really sorry.”
“… ?”
Rita, who was looking at me suddenly apologizing, tilted her head with a peculiar expression as if she had no idea why I was apologizing.
“What about magic attribute? “Isn’t it enough?”
“I have no shortage of things to serve my master.”
“You mean it’s not enough?”
“… “The two people who accompanied me were so fast.”
“I understand.”
Even though she was second to none, she would have had to exert her full power to match Ardel’s speed, so she would have consumed a lot of magical energy.
“Don’t go anywhere tonight, stay here.”
“… I understand.”
As if she understood what it meant at once, a bit of anticipation appeared on Rita’s grave face.
Feeling sorry for her, I held Rita’s hand and walked her toward the kitchen.
Sitting there were Nuit, whom she had not called for some reason, and La Rossi, whom she had tried to call later. Of course, even if both were present, it wasn’t a big problem.
We were already in the same boat, and this time was not about making plans for tomorrow, but about resolving our relationship that had become awkward due to the carpet bombing of thread.
‘But is that okay…? … ?’
In our relationship, the person who should be most uncomfortable in this situation right now is Nuit. However, Nuit, who should have been uncomfortable, was sitting blankly in his seat without thinking about anything and yawning.
On the other hand, La Rossi, who was her guest, glanced at Ardel, who was sitting across from her at the same table, and her body was shaking so much that everyone watching was worried.
“Master.”
“Thank you.”
Even though I was holding her hand, Rita moved and moved her chair behind her without making me feel uncomfortable, and only then did I let go of Rita’s hand and sit down in her seat.
“What’s on the menu?”
“… First, we prepared it using meat.”
“Meat is good.”
As she was cooking with her apron on, I answered without looking at her, and because I was like that, I responded calmly.
“La Rossi?”
“Yes, yes?!”
“No. If it’s uncomfortable, it’s okay to eat in your room. “I’ll bring it to you.”
“Well, still… Is it possible?”
“Uh oh. Do that.”
“Thank you! Have a nice meal!!”
Larossi bowed at a right angle to Ardel, not me, and asked, “How was he able to run that fast?” She ran away as fast as she wanted.
‘Who… Asking if I called you might not be a good choice.’
“Rita, sit down too.”
“I understand.”
She usually said she would help me, but Rita seemed to have noticed that her mood was different from usual, so she obediently sat down with her butt in the same spot where Larosie had been sitting a moment ago.
“Is Ardella still sleeping?”
“Now it seems like I’m more mentally tired than physically.”
“I see.”
Since I was the culprit, I decided not to wake up Ardella, who was sleeping well. You can eat whenever you want.
“Nuit.”
“Yes. “Master.”
Upright.
Rita’s ears, which had not reacted under any circumstances, went up.
“New… Is it?”
I shook my head in response to Rita’s question, which had many meanings.
“It’s just a slave.”
“I see.”
If I’m not mistaken, I felt like I was just a little disappointed. It seems that my junior wanted it.
‘There’s nothing I can’t do, but… ‘Not right now.’
Of course, the priority is to return the body to its owner. Even if you cook it, it is right to cook it properly afterward. Of course, in the case of Ardella’s whipping, it is something that cannot be helped as the situation is different, so her original owner, the first princess, will also understand this. Otherwise, there is nothing we can do.
“Richina?”
“Yes.”
She was sitting quietly looking down at the empty table, and only after I called her name did she raise her head and look this way.
“Have you talked to your mother?”
“… “You didn’t respond.”
“I’ll talk to you after dinner.”
“Yes…”
Her gaze, which had been focused on me at first, turned back to the table.
‘I’m not confident, but I have to try.’
A relationship where people share each other’s skin, but do not have great affection for each other.
That was my relationship with Sil now.
The reason I wanted to free her from her role as the world tree was not so much for her own sake as for her own sake, but more so because she had to be freed and join me in order to completely win Rihina’s heart.
She’s helping me now too…
It occurred to me that perhaps she was helping me out of a desire to reunite with her former father-in-law and her first daughter, who had left her, rather than a desire to be with Rihina.
“Um, master?”
After Li Hina’s answer, while waiting for dinner to be ready, Nuit carefully raised her hand.
“Oh, right.”
She tried to explain the situation to Nuit, but Rita intervened and let it go.
“It’s not much different from before.”
“Yes.”
“All right. “I will do my best this time to live up to the master’s expectations.”
“Okay.”
I was momentarily annoyed and repulsed by the character, which was so different from when it was just the two of me, but I nodded once because there was no need to pour cold water on him for his hard-working motivation.
“”…””
I prepared the seat myself, but when I sat down, it wasn’t easy to put down in my mouth.
So I made a decision.
“For now.”
Their scattered gazes focused on me.
“Since there is no Siran or Ardella, we will continue our conversation after eating and in the bath.”
