Chapter 194 – Ep.194 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
Tingling.
“…”
Aria twitched her eyes at the sensation of a hot sensation coming from her ass.
“Are you okay?”
“… !!”
The voice of my respected sister, heard so close.
Aria immediately opened her closed eyes.
“Hi?!”
She was startled.
As soon as she opens her eyes, she is surprised to see her sister’s face right in front of her.
“What is it? “That reaction.”
“Oh, no… That is…”
It was so close that their noses were touching.
Arya felt like she was going to faint from Ardella’s breath.
At the sight of her younger sister shaking her barely open eyes shut again, Ardella let out a sigh and straightened her back.
Only when she noticed her sister’s breathing moving away did Aria open her eyes again.
She then found herself lying on the thighs of her older sister, whom she admired.
“How is your body?”
“Uh? Uh, it’s okay…”
Her buttocks were a little sore, but the level was too much to even call it pain.
“Her external wounds were completely healed using advanced healing medicine. However, not everything on her insides has been completely healed, so don’t move too hard until tomorrow.”
“Uh? Uh, uh… I will…”
“Okay.”
Ardella stroked her Arya’s head gently.
Aria, feeling her older sister’s touch for the first time in a long time, unconsciously closed her eyes and purred, acting cute like her own child.
Two sisters spending time like that for a while.
Ardella lowered her hand that had been stroking her hair and opened her mouth.
“Aria.”
“… Huh.”
After enjoying her brief euphoria, she quickly became depressed at the thought that the time had finally come for her punishment.
Seeing her sister’s reaction, Ardella continued her words.
“The adventurer you dealt with today is the lover of the man you tried to pressure yesterday.”
“… Uh?”
Aria was taken aback by a topic of conversation she had never even thought of.
Even though she knew that, Ardella continued speaking.
“The man. Smith is that child’s lover, but he is also my lover.”
“… ?”
Aria’s eyes grew even wider.
“It’s not that her mother tried to force a relationship, but I had her heart set on her first, and her mother recognized Smith’s abilities and allowed her to date him.”
“… To?”
Aria’s mouth opened like an idiot.
“Dust gets in.”
Ardella lifted Arya’s chin up.
But as soon as she removed her hand, her mouth opened stupidly wide again.
Ardella said, sighing inwardly.
“I’ll be honest. I was very angry with you and Arua’s behavior yesterday. I know that you did this out of love for me. That made me even more angry. If you really thought about me, you would think a little more about me. “I should have investigated my surroundings.”
“…”
Aria’s mouth, which had opened foolishly, closed again.
“Answer.”
“… Sorry…”
Aria was truly reflecting on what she had done yesterday.
Of course, it was a reflection towards her older sister, Ardella, and she did not harbor the slightest feeling of sorry for the man.
But the words that had just come out of her sister’s mouth made her realize that she had to change her mind.
Because her respected sister knows very well that she is not the person to bring up such a story without reason.
“Aria.”
“… Yes.”
“The sword you swung… “When he blocked it, she felt like she hit something hard.”
Aria’s butt started to tingle again as she remembered what had happened on the parade ground.
Still, she nodded her head steadily in response to her older sister’s question.
“You said it yesterday. At most, it would be a thousand pieces. “It was that piece of cloth that blocked your sword.”
“… Yes?”
Aria’s eyes became even bigger than before.
Ardella, on the other hand, frowned her eyes.
“Judging by your reaction, you did not properly investigate the performance of the items supplied to the knights.”
“Ah…”
“Not just you, Arua. You also.”
Ardella turned her head.
Following her older sister’s gaze, she slightly raised her head and saw her second daughter, Arua, standing opposite her.
Arua quietly lowered her head.
She sighed so loudly that Ardella could hear them both.
The two sisters’ shoulders narrowed noticeably.
“If Smith wants to, he can distribute the sword that blocked your sword to all knights and soldiers. That’s not all. “Although the child you dealt with only wore it on her legs, you can make one that can be worn on her arms and body as well.”
Aria and Arua’s eyes trembled greatly.
Aria’s trembling was especially severe.
‘That thin cloth… ‘You blocked my sword?’
Additionally, it is said that she can make enough such armor to distribute to all knights and soldiers.
Just alone.
Ardella asked the two seriously.
“Do you really think Smith is not good enough for me?”
“…”
“…”
The two couldn’t answer.
If that was true, it wasn’t a matter of whether it was insufficient or not.
If he is purely based on value, the man is worth several times more than the older sister they respect.
Her eldest daughter, Ardella, was so outstanding that she had no need to share her civil affairs, so much so that her abilities were beyond doubt.
However, if you ask them if they can fulfill the role of an order of knights on their own, they will shake their heads.
On the other hand, what about that man?
What if you could really produce such cloth without major restrictions and arm your knights and soldiers with it?
If one knight corps is armed with it, it will be able to do the work of two or three.
What about the soldiers?
These are soldiers wearing cloth all over their bodies to block the knight’s sword.
It will no longer be a soldier, but it will not be a soldier.
When the thought reached that point, both of their complexions turned pale.
“If Smith had been at all frightened by what happened yesterday… Her mother would not have invited Smith to her place yesterday. And your arms would have been cut off on the spot.”
The two couldn’t open their mouths.
Because I knew it wasn’t an exaggeration at all.
“What you did yesterday was not a matter that could be ended simply by being careless. Nevertheless, the reason her mother did not bother to mention you was because she knew that her partner, Smith, did not consider the matter to be a big deal.”
“But…”
Arua, who had her head down, raised her head.
“Then. Why did you hit her sister in his presence?”
It wouldn’t have been enough to make even a little good impression, but did they punish her older sister, who was innocent, and not the people themselves?
“Simple. Because Smith loves me.”
“… To?”
Arua’s expression turned stupid.
Ardella paid no attention and continued speaking.
“To my mother, Smith’s abilities. She wants to know the limits.”
“Ah…”
Arua, who had turned stupid, moaned briefly.
In response to her second daughter’s reaction, Ardella said no more and only nodded her head.
Because she felt a little embarrassed to even talk about it herself.
On the other hand, unlike her second daughter, Aria did not understand properly.
However, she could not ask more questions due to the atmosphere, so she had no choice but to keep quiet.
“And.”
Their eyes focused on Ardella again.
Ardella said as she straightened the bangs of Aria, who was lying on her thighs.
“The adventurer I faced today… “Don’t hate Siron.”
“…”
Aria’s eyes were greatly shaken.
Because she saw the affection in the eyes of her older sister, Ardella, although only briefly.
“Some of you didn’t like what you were trying to do to your lover, but the reason you treated me so badly today was all because I asked you to.”
“Sister… ?”
Ardella nodded her head.
“You probably know by now. “I wonder what the knights of the family think of you.”
“That…”
“…”
They both closed their mouths at the same time.
“The person the knights pledge allegiance to is their mother. There are those who have sworn to follow me, but that is also a pledge that was only possible because her mother gave her permission.”
Ardella said, looking at the two with her serious eyes.
“In the eyes of the knights, you are just immature children. Nothing more, nothing less. Subjugating monsters? Hunting demonic beasts? That’s something any knight can do. “If you have truly done something for your family, recite it to me now.”
“…”
“…”
The two couldn’t open their mouths.
Her older sister Ardella was in charge of everything, including patrolling the territory, internal affairs, meetings with vassals, and even external activities.
While her older sister, Ardella, did all the work, all she did was roam the estate, catching monsters, selling the skins of the magical beasts she was lucky enough to hunt, and merrying with the knights. It was.
But she didn’t think it was wrong.
Neither her mother Ardel nor her older sister Ardel nor any of the vassals in her mansion once reprimanded them for that.
On the contrary, on the day they returned from subjugation and hunting, there were some vassals who praised them for a job well done.
Anyway, her eldest daughter, Ardella, will continue the family.
They thought that all they had to do was lead the knights under her older sister.
But it seems that wasn’t the case.
“The order of birth may be fixed, but no one knows what the order of rest will be. If my mother and I are put to rest… “Who will inherit the family?”
The two just rolled their eyes.
“No, let’s change the question. Do you think the family can continue to exist?”
This time, the two just rolled their eyes.
“Knights are people too, so there will be affection. But if my mother isn’t here, if I’m not there… “How many knights do you think will remain in the family tied to Jeong?”
Both of their faces turned red.
This is because yesterday’s events still vividly remain in my mind.
Ardella sighed softly as she looked at her two younger siblings.
“Like you, I also learned nothing from my mother. However, this does not mean that the vassals told him what to do. I’m just doing it because I thought I had to. Aria. Arua.”
The two turned their eyes to her older sister’s call.
“Let me ask you this for the first and last time. If you wish, I can tell you what to do. “What do you want to do?”
“I am…”
“I am…”
Aria and Arua’s gaze crossed.
“I don’t want to listen.”
“Me too…”
Ardella nodded her head.
“Because of today’s events, the knights’ perspectives on you may have changed slightly. “I hope that you will act so that the change will be in a positive direction.”
“… Huh.”
Arya nodded, feeling Ardella’s hand on her forehead.
“Okay. Arua… “If you want, I’ll make the same place tomorrow.”
“… No. “I’ll take care of it myself.”
Arua averted her furtive gaze and Ardella smiled to herself.
“Well then, I’ve finished what I had to say, so let’s just go.”
Arya, who had been lying down on Ardella’s horse, raised her body.
“It’s okay to lie down a little longer.”
“No… Are you okay.”
Ardella did not recommend any more.
The three quietly left the lounge and went outside.
The parade ground looked as bright as day due to the burning torches.
Inside, I could see knights and soldiers rolling around.
Of course, they were different from those who stayed during the day.
Ardella patted the shoulders of her younger siblings who stood on either side of her.
“I won’t look for it separately. “Then rest.”
“You too, sister.”
“Rest well.”
The two stared at Ardella’s back as she gradually walked away.
Only after she had completely disappeared into the darkness did the two move.
“Are you going to your room?”
“… No. “I’m going to take a shower first.”
“Okay. “I need to take a shower.”
Because she did not carry her own cleanliness scroll, Aria’s body was emitting a sour smell.
Aria later realized that her body smelled like her and blushed thinking that Ardella must have smelled it.
The two walked quietly toward the bathhouse.
Magic lights were brightly lit on the streets, and even though it was late at night, off-duty knights and soldiers were seen walking down the streets in groups of twos and threes.
As Aria looked at the particularly bright moon today, she muttered softly.
“… “Maybe it would be good.”
“What.”
“… Him. “I mean.”
“I owe you an apology.”
“I know that.”
The problem is how and with what words you should apologize.
“I don’t know. First, let’s take a shower, eat something, and think. “Because of you, I couldn’t eat anything all day.”
“Why is it because of me? “If you hadn’t cheated on me in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened, right?”
“What. “I was so excited about the subject that I gave it a try.”
“What? “When did I get excited and help?!”
“Ugh… Done. “I don’t even remember what I did, so what’s the point of talking about it?”
“Hey!!”
Aria makes no sound! She screamed, but Arua picked her ears and kept walking.
While they were arguing with each other, the two arrived at the bathhouse.
“… What. “Has there been a fight?”
“I know. “Why are you like that?”
The two held their noses and tilted their heads as they watched the people rushing out.
The two tilted their heads and entered the bathtub.
“This way.”
“I know.”
The entrance to the bathhouse was divided into two sections, with a separate compartment set up for guests invited by her mother, Ardel.
“No really, what is it?”
“…”
Aria blinked as she saw several people running out, clutching their noses as they entered her.
On the other hand, Arua seemed to have noticed something about her, and she suddenly swallowed her saliva and started to walk a little faster.
“Let’s go together.”
Arua did not answer.
The two entered the locker room.
“And… What? What. Why are there so many?”
Aria blinked at the crowd of people bustling inside the glass door.
Then she caught up with Arua, who was looking for an empty seat.
Fortunately, there was still room in the closet, and the two folded their clothes neatly and put them in the closet.
“Why are you chewing on my words earlier?”
“Come loudly and quickly.”
Arua grabbed Arya’s hand and pushed open her glass door.
Hwaaaaah!!
Hot steam assaulted the two people.
“What. Why so quiet…”
-Shhh!!
“… ?”
Those in the bathtub all turned their heads and put their index fingers to their mouths.
Aria blinked at their unity.
‘What. ‘Why are they like that?’
She frowned.
The bathroom was already narrow and uncomfortable due to the partitions that had been created, but I was annoyed because there were so many people.
‘Where has this sister gone again?’
In the blink of an eye, Arua disappeared.
Just then she frowned and looked around to find Arua who had disappeared.
―Hmmmm~♪
Her body stiffened like a lie.
Because a sound that should never have been heard came to her ears.
‘Are you hallucinating?’
Aria shook her head loudly. However.
―I don’t want to go out~ I love it so much~
The deep, drawn-out male voice struck Aria’s eardrums once again.
Aria’s head turned.
The place her eyes landed on was the newly created partition.
Only then did Aria learn why they were silent. As a bonus, he even grabbed her nose and left!!
‘Hey, these!!’
Aria was embarrassed and angry.
Her counterpart, in fact, was the lover of her older sister, whom she admired.
How dare her sister’s lover… !!
“This-“
―Ugh~ I like it~
‘It’s good, it’s good, it’s good…’ .’
Aria’s mouth closed.
‘Why, why are you like this?’
My heart started pounding.
And one particular word that kept ringing in her head.
Arya was perplexed by the strange phenomenon of her body not following her thoughts, even though she knew she had to report this to the person on the other side of her partition right away.
‘I have to tell you…’ .’
Arya swallowed her saliva.
‘Okay… ‘This is not possible.’
No matter how much she thought about it, this was no different from doing something cruel to her older sister, whom she respected.
In the end, the moment when Aria overcame the desire rising from deep within her heart and gave strength to her eyes.
“… ?”
She had to swallow back the words that rose up in her throat before she could say them.
In a bustling bathtub.
Among them, in front of the partition where there are the most people.
Because she found her own sister in those people who had their ears pressed to the very cubicle.
