Volume 3 Chapter 6 (1/2)
The rabbed round She theninto both of hs, which were placed on top of my waist, felt like water balloons that were filled with hot water
“Earl”
Instead of responding, the teeth-gnashi+ng girl, whose face was brought so close to , abruptly bit down on my neck
An aroma that smelled like a peach had been soaked in milk until it became a pulp
“Your Excellency!?”
Zia, who had entered the roo with us, became panicked and called out to the Earl, but the Silver Lion Earl continued to nibble on h it didn’t hurt, I knew that her bite was just strong enough to definitely leave teeth marks I stayed still The Silver Lion Earl finally removed her mouth fro down onto had started to feel itchy
“Mr Yujin”
She spoke
“Yeah”
“What do you have to report?”
“Before that, may I service you a bit?”
“Go ahead”
I hugged her I caressed her back and stroked her head Norher than her neck, then she would go absolutely crazy, but she was strangely docile today She wasn’t coherinto my shoulders
In the end, I gave up on the back of her head and lowered h the touch couldn’t be felt properly due to her thick clothes, the Silver Lion Earl must have felt displeased by that as she then twisted her body
“Wait one second Zia, my coat”
The Earl took off her coat and tossed it to the side Zia bewilderedly caught the Earl’s coat The Silver Lion Earl, now in just a shi+rt, leaned her body against htly and caressed her Each time she breathed in, thu heart
“You”
The Silver Lion Earl placed her hand on my chest
“I’ve always been curious, but do you wear cologne?”
“Yeah”
“You’re like a girl Or is it a type of pheromone attack?”
“Impressions are important after all”
“Ho to Korea, buy me some as well”
“I will Is there anything else you want?”
“Ah hah ha ah, was it called a bucket list? But that gives tooIf you aren’t able to buy soh it ritten down on that list, then even the person who’s on the receiving end would feel like they’re at a loss That’s why it’s fine Just buy things at your own discretion, Mr Yujin I’e”
“I’ It’d be convenient if I had one, but it’d honestly be better to receive physical goods instead of cash in this world”
“Hm, is that so? Then how about two sacks of rabbit potatoes?”
“Not that I s like medicine”
“Magic goods, huh~ I told you before, but it’d be a good idea to be careful with those Nothing in this world is free An appropriate price is required for any enius with an ability like mine that is”
“You’re probably right, but there are still things that are impossible in Korea, and yet are possible here”
“Hht about that Now that I think about it, have you ever been outside of the castle, Mr Yujin? Iat the city”
“No, not yet”
“The streets are soon going to become crowded because of the arena It’s probably already crowded right now, but it’ll later becoested than now Items that usually aren’t stocked will start to be in stock in the marketplace, peddlers will arrive, and non-human merchants may arrive as well Have a day out later on and leisurely take a stroll around the city I’ll even give you some money”
“Would it be fine to try and sell soht back from Korea?”
“M on the s that can be dise Tower bastards will definitely find out and buy the stuff off of whoever you sell them to”
I patted her back The Silver Lion Earlsound
The aardly standing Zia spoke
“Your Excellency······ am I supposed to just stand here and watch over the two of you loafing around?”
“What, do you have a problem with that? Do you want to join in as well?”
Zia twitched as her face became red and she cleared her throat······ Of course, she wasn’t a girl who’d give that sort of reaction
“I exist solely for that purpose!”
Zia uttered a line that she shouldn’t say to her parents or her teacher and leaped froht now and the Silver Lion Earl was on top of that me In other words, if she jumps like that, then on the Silver Lion Earl’s back⎯⎯⎯
“Gaah!”
The Silver Lion Earl cried out Zia panicked and examined the Silver Lion Earl
“Your Excellency, are you okay?”
“Do I look okay!?”
“Your Excellency······ I apologize As punishment, I’ll lie on top of Yujin this time”
“Oh, cool I’ll be knee diving”
Zia switched positions with the now standing Earl and laid on top of me Compared to the Silver Lion Earl, Zia certainly had more volume to her body and she was also firmer If the Silver Lion Earl was rubber, then Zia was like clay Her scent was similar as well I wonder if it was because of the fact that she had been working heavily in the arena before co from Zia Or perhaps she always sht, who had taken root in clay⎯⎯⎯
the Silver Lion Earl’s knee slammed down
“Guha!”
“How’s that, Zia?”
“Every time I interact with Your Excellency, I’d alorry that my back will one day break It seems like today must be that day”
“Ah ha, you’re just otten started yet Get ready, okay? I have 108 different types of knee dives”
“You’re all aware that I’ht?”
The Silver Lion Earl answered by doing a 360 crescent rotation knee dive from the top of her desk Like that, e
In that manner, time flowed by for a while The Silver Lion Earl wiped her forehead with a satisfied expression on her face
“Phew As expected, getting soood”
“My waist······ my waaaist······”
“You’re exaggerating You start crying whenever it gets even a little tough I recall the night where ht was only useful in the bed”
“Kuh······! Your Excellency, I shall prove that those words are untrue! I absolutely will not lose after all! I swear on ht!”
“Ah hah hah hah ha That’s a good spirit I’less I’ll let you have a taste of a technique that no feainst”
“Playing around is fine and all, but can you guys get off of me first?”
The two scratched their heads before dis h I felt as if my body had becoination
The Silver Lion Earl supported the back of her head with her interlocked hands
“So, Mr Yujin What did you have to report?”
I placed ainst the end of the Silver Lion Earl’s foot
“Sorry I actually had nothing to report”
A silence flowed by for a moment
“Explain”
“Because you seemed to be in a bad mood I only said that because I wanted to relieve your mood a bit”
“In order to preventto the torture chamber, huh? Mr Yujin, are you aware? That I’m reallyreallyre~~~ally annoyed”
“Sorry”
“Whatever I had a hunch that that was the case anyway Just keep licking”
Even while saying that with a sour face, the Silver Lion Earl sat down on her chair I did as I was told and held her foot in ed her with my utmost sincerity Since even Zia knew that she shouldn’t ue and soainst fiber and skin was the only thing to resonate throughout the silent room for a while
“Stop”
The Silver Lion Earl spoke
I lowered my head The Silver Lion Earl naturally placed her foot on top of my head Press, press The end of her sock, which itha wet sensation
“Mr Yujin Tell me what you intend to do from now on”
I spoke while keeping my forehead down on the carpet
“I think it would be a good idea to leave it alone for the ti”
“Your reason?”
“First, because the eneotten in too deep At first, it was me and Sii Alshi+ was next Both assaults happened within the Silver Lion Castle and they even occurred in the sick roo of the maids If we move too hastily while in this situation, then Earl, there’s a chance that you’ll be in danger My second reason is the fact thathave a grasp on who our opposition is That this was an instigation fro as we know their identities, there’s no need for us to rush”
“So Mr Yujin is also certain that it was an instigation done by the Mage Tower”
“Because if I think about it now, that’s the only answer I can think of”
The Silver Lion Earl paused for a long ti
“If that’s the case, then what should I do in order to deal with this?”
“For starters, one thing How many summons do you have left this month?”
“Wouldn’t you be able to find out if you took a look yourself? I have three summons left”
“I think it’d be a good idea if you stayed low until your ability resets on the first of the nextaway so you probably won’t like it, but⎯⎯⎯”
“It’s not probably You were talking really seriously so for a second I thought you weren’t talking bullshi+t So you’re saying that this Silver Lion Earl has to stay low and avoid the pieces of trash who’re waving their arms around in my castle?”
The Silver Lion Earl’s voice was low and cold I spoke earnestly
“Until the first of next month Earl This is my request”
“······Haah, even if I did wait Will some sort of brilliant idea pop up when that time arrives?”
“It will”
I stated
“I’ll create one by then I’ll leave a thorn e Tower That’s why, Earl, for now”
The Silver Lion Earl went quiet for another long pause Asstepped on, I was unable to see what sort of expression she wassilent like that for a while, the Silver Lion Earl eventually let out a sigh
“You’ll have to keep those words, Mr Yujin”
“I will”
“Also, another thing⎯⎯⎯I can’t give you a definite answer If the Mage Tower provokes me like this one more time before the next month has arrived, then”
“Then at that time, you don’t have to hold back”
I answered her
Sii, as running about in confusion in the hallway near the office, showed a face of relief the instant she saw me exit the room
“Yujin! Are you safe? Are you okay? She didn’t do soht?”
She did, but that wasn’t iht now
“Miss Sii Where is Ariya right now?”
“Ariya? If it’s that girl, then she finished being questioned by the guards and went to the sick room Alshi+ and Miss Sophna are with her”
“So you’re saying that she’s next to her injured lover Although that’s admirable, if you consider our current situation, it’s not that good Moreover, it’s a problem that she’s also with Sophna······”
My thoughts flowed out ofwith a panicked look on her face, soon figured out what my point was
“Yujin, do you need Ariya? ······And during that process, you don’t want to meet Miss Sophna?”
“Yes If I were tobothersome will occur”
“Why do you say that? Mm~~ no, if Yujin says so then that’s probably the case, but Miss Sophna is a good person Of course, I can understand your surprise because she came up all of a sudden, but is there a need to avoid her?”
Sii didn’t say ‘You can’t avoid her forever anyway’, however, I responded to her as if she did
“I cannot right now At the very least, I have to meet her after this case has been settled Sequences are important after all”
“M in ht? In a way that won’t let Miss Sophna notice that Yujin was the one who had called her But if I go······”
Sii trailed off Certainly, if Sii were the one to go, then she would be questioned as to whether her reason for calling Ariya was related toabout that, I abruptly discovered atowards my direction
“Mari”
“I told you it’s Mari”
The pronunciation was indeed different
“Yeah, Mari Thanks for earlier”
“I didn’t do that for your sake Be that as it may, I didn’t do that for you either, Sii It was merely for Alshi+ and Ariya Those two are my friends”
Sii looked tearful Although she did hunch her shoulders and shrink back once Mari glared at her, I patted Sii’s shoulder and lowered my head to Mari
“With how h to consider us as friends now?”
“You must be mad” Mari wrapped her araze “For so like that······ to me at the rampart”
I did do soirl
“Then at least accept Sii as a friend”
“Really, you treat everything so easily······ Ah, whatever It also see her tis onto the basics”
An individual that was as integral as this probably didn’t exist anywhere else Even my sensibility that considered that as cute was abnormal
“Uu······ I-If you’re here to just lash out like that⎯⎯⎯”
“Sii? If you have so to say then don’t murmur and say it properly”
“I-I don’t particularly······ have so to say······”
Sii shrunk away Mari looked at her as if she were taken aback before turning back towards me
“You Really, why do you speak for like that? No matter how masochistic you are, shouldn’t there be a limit?”
“Those who are strong to the strong and weak to the weak are the ones of virtue”
“I see that in your world, the reater they are”
I couldn’t firmly declare that that wasn’t the case
“At any rate, Mari, I have a request”
“Yes, I figured you did Without so toWhat is it this time?”
Moh I planned to ask her to call Ariya for me, I had to explain it to her in a way that would make it so that she would call for Ariya 1) While not revealing that I was the one who called for her 2) Why that can’t be revealed 3) And why I couldn’t personally go to fetch her myself
“Can you bring Ariya here forshe wants to confir to ask this of Sii, but······”
I shrugged while trailing off Sii quickly caught on and made a face that was half tearful and half forlorn
Mari snorted while shi+ning her smooth forehead
