Chapter 109 – At the Celebration.
Krusha felt embarrassed and confused at the sight of her daughters flocking around her. Because she was so different from what I thought her reaction would be.
“Now, try it.”
What embarrassed her more than anything was, uh? While she was doing this, the first thing she noticed was that her impressive daughter with pink hair sat down on her lap and tried to feed her all kinds of food.
“Wait! Just wait!”
“What’s wrong? Don’t you like this food?”
Finally, when Krusha shouted, the ladies who had been waiting for her to open her mouth to receive and eat her food opened their eyes and looked at her with puzzled eyes.
“Well, it’s not like that… They say nobles don’t even want to come in contact with commoners. Don’t they?”
In reality, Krusha was now sitting on her lap, beyond her reach, and was almost being held in her arms like a doll.
“Huh? Us?”
“Are there people like that?”
The ladies looked at each other in surprise, as if this was their first time hearing such a story, and checked to see if something like that had happened.
“Now that I think about it, an acquaintance of mine said that nobles should stay as far away from commoners as possible.”
“Eh? But the snacks made by Mr. Lewis at the bakery are delicious.”
“Me too, me too! When I go to the orchard, there are people who give me lots of delicious fruits, right?”
Crusha didn’t seem to know why she had to do that, but she realized that Tiaran and Lucia’s story was true as they exchanged stories with each other.
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe them, but since Krusha, who had always had a strong image of nobility, was stunned by the shock of breaking her common sense, she poked her cheek.
“If you don’t like that food, how about pudding?”
“… I’ll just eat it.”
Seeing the young lady holding a spoon and staring at her worriedly, Krusha gave up and ate the food they gave her.
“You gave up in the end.”
Anis looked at Krusha with pity and shook her head.
“Don’t you remember the old days?”
“I didn’t want to think about it.”
As Lucia watched the scene with a happy expression and spoke, Anise began to tremble.
“Fuhuhu, Anise used to be similar.”
She also had a similar experience to Crusha when she attended a banquet with Lucia when she was young and was noticed.
“Why is everyone doing that…?”
“Isn’t it strange to like cute things?”
It wasn’t strange that girls couldn’t get enough of cute things. Moreover, Crusha was even more so because he had a cute appearance in one way or another in addition to the small size of a dwarf.
“Lucia was the same age at that time.”
Anise looked resentfully at Lucia, who seemed to have left her alone, but she didn’t care.
“Because my status was status.”
Even though the kingdom had a relatively loose awareness of class differences, Lucia’s status was something that could have been a burden even among fellow nobles. That’s why Anise was her only friend.
“Um, you two?”
“Huh? For some reason…”
Lucia turned around at the sound of Anise’s voice calling her, and what she saw was Crusha, who was still eating food among her daughters, and the sparkling eyes of the daughters surrounding them.
“How did you end up at a party with the hero?”
“That’s right! You two are adventurers?!”
Lucia was blinking. Right now she is not in the status of the duke’s daughter.
“Now, just a moment? Anis. Let’s talk among ourselves…”
She tried to escape with Anis, but realized that it was already too late.
“Sorry, I got caught too.”
“How do you take care of your hair?”
“Can you tell me an adventure story?”
Anise was being asked questions while her arms were being grabbed by the ladies who had suddenly approached her.
“Tiaran…!”
She tried to escape by calling Tiaran.
“Mayday! Mayday! This place is already surrounded!”
“Have you been caught before you know it?!”
Tiaran was surrounded by a crowd of people and was raising her thumb above them to let Lucia know where she was, so there was no way for her to escape.
-Tub
“Let’s sit down and talk together! Your colleagues are already sitting down!”
“Oh, I understand.”
In the end, the only option left for Lucia was to enjoy the banquet surrounded by her daughters like Crusha and Anise.
“I barely escaped.”
Tia Ran left the banquet hall alone and entered the terrace in her corner.
“Oh, is it okay for her to leave her colleagues alone and come to a place like this?”
Then, a passenger sitting on the terrace spoke playfully in an alluring voice. When she turned her head, she saw a woman wearing a dress that was so low-cut that her breasts were clearly visible, emphasizing her sexiness.
“We newbies would have taken care of that well.”
“For all that, you made me surrounded by ladies, right?”
In fact, it was Tiaran who encouraged her daughters to approach Anis to the point where they thought it was too much.
“Because a hero’s party is involved in a lot of troublesome things.”
That’s why he secretly encouraged innocent young ladies to approach him so that no one could approach him personally.
“So you set up the ladies as a shield?”
“Yes.”
First of all, he was in the position of a warrior, and in the meantime, cute and pretty Anis was enough to attract the interest of those young ladies, so it was possible.
“If you are so overprotective of your colleagues, why did you come here?”
As Tiaran approached her, the woman smiled seductively and crossed her slinky legs. Then, her thighs were revealed through the side slits of her dress, shining white and smooth in the light.
It was a small action, but the outfit made for extraordinary exposure. Her posture, which seemed to give a glimpse of her buttocks, was enough to captivate many men.
“That’s what I’m going to say, man.”
He raised his fist and lightly struck the woman’s head.
“Keheng?!”
As if it was a completely unexpected action, I screamed and boom! With a sound, golden fox ears grew on her head and a tail of the same color appeared behind her chair.
Because her identity was none other than Illyana.
“How on earth did you find out this time?!”
“Even if I change shape, the smell doesn’t change.”
“Are you a wolf beast?!”
“All you have to do is never forget the scent of your prey once you’ve caught it!”
“That’s even creepier!”
Her face was white, as if it reminded her of their first meeting, when she was almost covered in soybean paste and drowned.
“Anyway, what did the pet store owner come here for?”
“Keyeng, why are you pretending not to know when you know it’s actually an information business?”
“Were you an intelligence dealer?”
“Did you just forget about it?!”
For some reason, he never came to visit me. She asked again, watching Illyana fall down on her table, muttering and feeling exhausted.
“So why did you really come?”
“Of course it’s because of work?!”
Even though it is a banquet, the majority of nobles in at least one region gather. Even if they didn’t intend to go to a place like this, Illyana couldn’t avoid it because a lot of information was gathered there.
“Isn’t that why you came here by creating an appropriate status?”
“Did you find out anything?”
“Hmph, are you planning to find out for free?”
“No.”
“Now, wait a minute?!”
Tiaran tried to return to the banquet hall without any regrets, but Illyana urgently caught him.
“Isn’t it normal to be curious at times like this?”
“Tsk tsk, if I were to ask, wouldn’t you say that you won’t give it to me for free because it was Anis, not me, who signed the contract?”
“Keeng!?!”
Illyana froze as he spoke, as if he had read her thoughts. She was so surprised that her ears and the fur on her tail stood up.
“Hey, can a hero read people’s minds?”
“That’s right. This is called big data.”
“… It’s something I’ve never heard of before.”
She flicked her golden ears back and forth as if searching for Tia Ran’s words, and looked at him with completely incomprehensible eyes, but he didn’t pay any attention.
“There’s no need for me to tell you nicely, right? If there’s nothing to do, I’ll go.”
“Wait a minute! Keheung?!”
Illyana tried to get up in a hurry, but her tail got caught in her chair and she fell forward along with her chair.
“What are you doing alone?”
“Keyeng, come on, I was wrong. Please listen to my story.”
Tiaran decided to listen to her story as she was so sad that she didn’t even get up and hung her ears and looked up with teary eyes.
“I’m asking just in case. Is the hero really Tiaran and not Anis?”
He thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. There was nothing to lose anyway.
“I decided to step forward externally.”
“… It’s like a shadow warrior.”
Illyana immediately sensed her intentions, as if she had been selling information in vain.
“But I definitely saw you swinging the holy sword when dealing with monsters. How can you explain that?”
“I don’t know either.”
“Kheng?”
Seeing her stiffen again, Tiaran briefly explained her story to Anis.
“Even though she is not a hero, she can handle the holy sword… I heard that if she is a saint, she can at least touch it.”
‘It’s going to take a while, so should I go back?’
He was about to return to the banquet hall when he saw Illyana murmuring and thinking like that.
“Well! I have decided!”
As I watched her with curiosity as she nodded and shouted as if she had decided on something, I came back to the story
“Let her maid give birth to your baby!”
“Heomi.”
Tiaran was reminded again today of the fact that this world was an eroge.
