chapter 310
310.This Election…Is Ruined (1)
“Hey, it’s been a while. How are you?”
“Okay.”
“Haam… The area in front of the sanctuary is so boring.”
Lennie yawned and lay down on the sofa. When I looked at the corners of her eyes, I noticed that there were dark spots around her eyes. It looks like the work was quite difficult. I sat down on the sofa across from him and opened my mouth.
“Was guarding the sanctuary difficult?”
“No, are you feeling comfortable? But staying in the same place all day without sleeping is a hardship in itself. “There’s really nothing around the sanctuary, so it’s not even eye candy.”
“It’s hard work.”
“Ah, as expected, we need more escort knights. Should I hire Lewis as an escort?”
“Can I make a decision that easily?”
I definitely think it would be okay to hire an escort driver.
It’s because we’re the ones being compared, but compared to his peers, his abilities his are outstanding, his skills have greatly improved since he received training from Lord Carlinz during his vacation, and he has a kind personality. It’s suitable to be entrusted to an escort driver.
“Do whatever you want.”
“No, that’s enough for now. Anyway, I have to tell you now because I am a knight and it will take a long time to do anything.”
“I don’t think it took that long.”
Why are you looking at me like I’m dumbfounded?
I also received a knighthood in a fairly ordinary way.
“You are not aware of your eccentric behavior… You are the only person who obtains dozens of certifications to become an escort driver. Saving Karina was also a big bonus. “First of all, Lewis… He’s not a seminary student and he doesn’t have any significant experience.”
“But isn’t the ability sufficient?”
“It’s much better than this. But I’m sure they’ll say something from above.”
Lennie furrowed her brow as if just thinking about it gave her a headache. If you think about it, she did have that problem.
It may be hectic as the Church of Calon is currently being reorganized under the leadership of Bishop Pierre, but the safety of the saint is an important issue, so there is a possibility that there will be quite a bit of noise.
In the original work, when the main character became a guard knight, he had to go through quite a long quest.
However…
“Wouldn’t it be okay if I just included a letter of recommendation?”
“Is that so?”
“I hate to say it, but I think you can pass most of the screening with just my letter of recommendation.”
First of all, he is a count now. Since I am trusted by the emperor and Archbishop Pierre also pushes me, I think I can easily pass the exam if I write a letter of recommendation.
It would be quite…Okay if we could just point out that Louis also trained under Lord Carlinz. My dungeon exploration experience is quite long.
“I’ll talk about this later.”
“Okay. Please. “Let’s take some time off too… You should do some work too.”
“I’m sorry.”
“If you’re sorry, just buy me a drink.”
“Do you have time to drink?”
“Ah, it’s annoying when you say that. “Can I hit you?”
Lennie gave me a playful jab. I said, feeling her hair flutter.
“If I get hit once, I’ll just go to Kalon’s side.”
“Oh, really? “You say it’s okay if a knife gets stuck in your stomach?”
“I think my heart will break.”
“Wow.”
I am also human. Even if I look at what I do these days, I don’t seem like a human being. I looked at Lennie’s slim stomach, his clothes looking disheveled. As expected from a knight who trains hard, a faint six-pack was visible on Lenny’s stomach.
“What are you looking at?”
“If I add a little more, my six pack will be clearly visible.”
“Don’t say anything terrible. “If it sticks out any further, it will be ugly.”
Leni seemed embarrassed to keep showing her stomach, so she tidied up the hem of her clothes to hide her stomach. Perhaps because it was so hot on the uninhabited island, the boat was always visible.
Are you saying it’s embarrassing here?
“Well, some people might like that.”
“Don’t men really like women with bulging muscles?”
“Well.”
I don’t know that either. Well, considering that there aren’t that many female knights themselves, there may be few men with that kind of taste. Especially if it’s a paladin.
Although Calonism tends to encourage marriage, paladins are often celibate by nature.
Well, there was a tendency to become a bit more worldly in that era, but… Lenny was an exception because he was originally a mercenary. If you think about it, she was the first mercenary to become a paladin.
Thinking about Lennie’s background, I buried myself on her sofa. The softness was on a whole different level, as expected from a sofa that had been purchased for a high price. After all, you have to have money. Each piece of quality furniture like this changes the quality of life.
“Lenny, shouldn’t you go back soon?”
“Let’s rest for a bit. They say that if I guard the sanctuary, I can barely rest. “There are some paladins dispatched from the temple, but they are not trustworthy at all.”
“I think we need to bring in a knight commander to meet your standards.”
“Oh, I don’t know. “All the Paladins are so boring that time doesn’t last long, and when I see them working next to me, they are full of people who recite the doctrine from beginning to end to avoid falling asleep.”
“That’s terrible.”
It is said that the person next to me memorizes Bible verses until the end of the shift. It’s really scary. It’s better to work with a ghost. For example, a streamer who plays lintel like a virgin ghost.
How can I barely remember anything before I was possessed, but still remember the contents of the novel I read before I was possessed?
“So, you too, come and do some work.”
“Sorry. Because work is piling up…”
“Write. That can’t be helped… “
Even now, I occasionally go to the capital to discuss plans for subjugating the demon dragon, so it was difficult for me to work under the circumstances. Instead, I’m handling the paperwork, so I’ll have to do relatively less work in this area…
“Seriously, shoot big later.”
“Have you already finished the high-quality liquor set you bought in the capital?”
“I already drank all of it, so there’s only an empty bottle sitting on the shelf in my room.”
“You drank high-quality liquor like ordinary alcohol.”
“No, but it was less than I thought.”
Even without that, I remember it being well over 1 liter?
Did I buy you alcohol for no reason?
“For that matter, I’ve never seen him act drunk.”
“That’s because I usually use Aura to blow off hangovers.”
“You do all sorts of things. Do you still want to drink after doing something like that?”
“It’s a daily routine for mercenaries to drink and hang out, so if they can’t do this, they just end up falling out in the middle of the night.”
Why does it feel like a useless story of vivid experience? But has this guy been drinking since he was a minor?
“Have you been drinking since you were young?”
“Well… Of course. When you become a mercenary, you have no choice but to drink, regardless of your age.”
Since it’s a job that kills people, does that mean I can’t get through it without drinking at least? I stood up while listening to Lennie’s vivid testimony.
“What, store?”
“No…Someone came.”
“Oh, really?”
Our eyes simultaneously moved towards the door. Quiet outside the door. However, I was able to tell as I became more sensitive to presence.
“Viola, come in.”
“Uh? Uh…”
The door opens slowly. The door opened and Viola cautiously peeked her face out through the crack. When she saw me, she avoided her gaze and spoke with her cheeks stained red.
“Oh, hello mister…”
“Hey, if you keep doing this, won’t you end up having more girlfriends than you have fingers? You are capable. Huh?”
“If you think you’ll become an old maid, I’ll count you in too.”
“Should I consider it an honor to be the sixth finger of the great Count?”
Leni giggled, lifted her body from her reclining position and sat down in her seat. Did Viola find it a little burdensome to have Lenny and I together?
She asked cautiously.
“Uncle, should I come later…” ” ” ?”
“No. It’s okay to come in.”
“Ugh, I feel like I’m in the way.”
Lenny shook her head and tried to get up from her seat.
“Why are you thinking so much?”
“No, whatever. Normally, lovers are dating each other, so it’s strange that I’m involved.”
“When I was with Karina, we stayed together without saying anything, but then she said something new.”
“That’s work!”
“Think about it roughly. “If your side gets cold, I’ll lend you my side too, so don’t be too sad.”
“No thanks. Ugh, I’m going to go to my room and sleep. If you see Ashley, tell her to wake you up in the evening. “I have to go back after dinner.”
“Okay. Get a good rest.”
“Uh…Ah, buy me some alcohol later.”
“Sure.”
Lennie stretched out and left her lounge. I quietly observed Viola, who was sitting at a slight distance from me. It’s been 15 days since Viola became my lover.
I don’t know if Viola is ashamed of the fact that she is still a lover, or if she wants to hide it, but she tends to show off when other people are around. The trap is that the rest of the staff already knows.
“Mister, can I hold your hand?”
“You can catch those things without saying anything.”
“But that’s a bit… “
Although Viola was embarrassed, she squeezed my hand. Surprisingly, Viola, who had the most bold personality, had the most girlish sensibilities when it came to her love life.
Even the most timid Elisa is a bit squishy. Sif and Millia are also closer to the squishy side. Karina…Is just cute.
“Are you thinking about another woman?”
“If I think about it, it seems like you are the most embarrassed. It doesn’t matter if you stick to your usual personality.”
“I’m not necessarily like that, am I?”
“If a guy like that holds hands, leave quickly. “You didn’t do that even when we were dating, but the fact that you do it now is proof that you’re shy.”
“No.”
“Okay, okay.”
I wrapped my arms around Viola’s waist and held her close to me, as she was not willing to easily give me distance. Viola’s body her naturally closed to me.
“Ah, uncle!”
Cosmetic smell.
“You put on makeup.”
“I’m a woman too?”
“My hair is much neater than before.”
“Well, that’s because I learned how to take care of my hair from my friends… “
“That’s cute.”
“Thank you…”
When I see a normally easy-going girl sitting like a gentle sheep, I feel like it’s hard to say anything. I relaxed and enjoyed Viola’s reaction
Until someone bursts open the door and dives into my arms.
“Yoha~an!”
