Half-elves Fall in Love

Rennest, a fortified city.

Surrounded by tall, thick walls and a strong defense, the city is not so nervous in the middle of winter either.

Exactly fewer demons have occurred, and the deal between the city and the city is proceeding smoothly. The winter in this city, which is no stranger to being a dangerous land but which endures the ordeal of a great invasion, is full of vitality.

... Apparently. I don't know much about foreign countries.

It's a little early in the evening when it comes to landing safely at "Celesta Mansion"......

I'm used to it now, and the unloading and loading into the mansion is really smooth.

It's not such a long place to stay, so I don't have anything to spread out that much, and before that, I have basic supplies such as a little clothing, groceries, etc. pre-arranged by the royal family, so even with my bare hands, I don't have a problem.

"No, I knew winter rennest was busy"

Naris looks out onto Market Street and Nico.

"Is it busier than the rest of the season?

"There are few times when Rennest is not busy. After all, it will be closed to traffic in the fall, so in the winter for that matter, people and things will move, and there will be different heights of tension than at other times."

"Heh... maybe the air is a little different indeed"

"We should be starting to reorganize the army, too. Heh. Isn't Gauntlet Knights changing the union?"

"What union... sure"

Is it like a huge mess of classification management like a magic capable system or a power system?

"Is that like replacing it?

"I'll replace that. It changes the ratio of each union because of the fighting situation that year or because you can't keep the reduced union down, you can be transferred even if your abilities are slightly different from the other unions"

Tetes also annotates Naris' description.

"Union is like a tag for commanders more than Black to convene personnel for a mission, so it moves depending on their own wishes. I can use magic, but that's the main mission, you know, from hard to plain duty into a lot of lakes, or because I want to fight with the Great Knight Annette, it stinks a little sweaty, but you know what, Earth Union. You should go."

It is the Earth Union that groups that use magic in combination fight sky unions, arms focused and mainly rock-based demons (and the high convening rate of Annette Grand Knight Chiefs), and Lake Union that often takes on ordinary assignments, not either.

They treat Lake Union because all three of our Red Arms don't like magic (Tess also makes a declaration that they can't use magic on the organization...). Although they are pulled on special assignments like this because of their strong personal connection to Sharon more than that.

"We were allowed in and out of Sky and Earth at the time of the Red Arm, too."

"Uh, the Chiefs of the Sharon Knights don't. It's magical, it's surprisingly powerful."

"I can barely use magic, and I don't have enough power to handle the rock system lightly, Naris is the only one left, but hey."

"Yeah, yeah. Don't say... don't make me feel sorry for you, Tess!

After the city sights.

"That's the house we use."

Let me also give you a view of Sharon's residence in Rennest.

Something surprisingly trivial, wondering if a sassy mansion would come out.

Wouldn't it be a little bigger if it became a knight's mansion?

Though I thought...

"We're hired, too. That's enough for the three of us to live together."

"If I say gold arm, I'll get nobility, too."

"Because my brother is only a samurai. Besides, we were comparable to aristocracy in our homeland, if only in terms of status. We are not going to reach out to the aristocratic community until we are in Renfangas."

I see.

Only the three Sharons are in Renfangas as warriors, and it seems like they want to distance themselves from politics...

A nobleman needs some brilliance, but only in the position of general, a small life is also convincing.

"Besides, the building is small, but it allows for a lot of luxury. There are also quite a few swords and armor for the three of us."

I'm a little jealous of its financial strength.

I know Naris and Almeida don't have a home.

So the next person I headed to was Tess's house.

"Even if it's a house, in my case, buying a room in an apartment is a form."

Tetes pointed to the second floor of a three-story apartment facing the street.

This doesn't seem like a big deal either.

"Not surprisingly greedy?

"Simply because of the length of service, that's the only down payment I could make."

No, I'm only 16. Even though you say you can make money, surely you are not saving that much money?

"... I mean, isn't Tess able to stay at Sir Buster's mansion?

"You can stay if you go, but it's a little awkward."

"I'm a concubine. Sir Buster and I are so far apart, you can probably tell."

Uh, I see.

Tess herself seems to admire Sir Buster, but she is born of a mistress, so I don't know what kind of eyes she can see from other families and servants.

... I guess the part where Tess was in a strange hurry when she was exploring Lyla was asking for that kind of relief from breathlessness.

"For once, I've been recognized since I was born, and I've never been unfit for money... I figured that's the only halfway point to being a concubine, so I resented my father and mother for a time.... I honestly don't understand a little bit that Mr. Smythson and the women around him are spreading the word about it."

"... Speaking of which, will I be in the position of concubine, yours"

Almeida began to worry.

"Isn't that nice? That kind of thing bothers me because I'm in a weak position vis-à-vis society. For Mr. Smythson, neither his wife nor his concubine is worth distinguishing."

Sharon gives me a slightly aspirational defense.

Well in fact, I don't have any intention of treating whoever is the real wife and who is the concubine, what a distinction... but I'm in such a strong position against society.

"Hmm, but... I don't think I can help but care about that."

"Naris..."

"When I think about kids, it's definitely me... I don't think it has anything to do directly with liking people and being able to think that they're good for being a jerk"

".................. hmm"

Tetes pointing a little at his mouth.

"I wonder if it's that fascinating...... Smythson, the ten chiefs."

"I would ask you not to put such a question mark in front of me"

What kind of face should I stand on?

When I went back to Celesta Mansion after a visit to see what was going on in the city, Mr. Deane was just returning from the castle, too.

"Did you see it?

"Not for the queen. Sir Buster's out in the trot, so I didn't see him."

"Is it an example celebratory envoy after all"

"Oh."

Naia I was listening to on the side, I guess, laughs.

"Master Buster is trotting… or trotting…, and if you need me, I'll go myself."

"Trouble. It was hard to get through the conversation thanks to the fact that he had at his disposal about the exploration business. Asking about the location of Celesta's Ace Knights quarters is the end of the line."

"After all, where are you?"

"Closer to the castle, they're renting one of the Royal Army quarters. I stopped by on my way home and there were only ten Mets of Becker's men, so I leave the current hearing and organization to Becker."

"Wasn't there a Birdman general?"

"They've already entered Catalina."

Footwork is light. Given that we're half playing and waiting for spring, is that diligence a bit reliable or distressing?

"Well, I have Becker's work to do today, and I've flown into a mansion that's overwhelming because of it, so shall I take a break?... Yes, Naia, the queen wants you to see her face."

"Ah, yes. I'll be there later."

Here we are again at a relaxing pace. Well, still, if you look at it from the dragon wingless folks, I guess it's early enough, but I don't have to wonder if it's okay. There is also the matter of the footsteps of the Sword Saint Brigade and King Ulysses approaching behind.

... I can't help but be in a hurry, so I'm off too.

Night.

It's been a long time since I've had an appointment.

I mean, there's no promise of who I'm going to get laid with tonight, no obligation to whom I have to seed.

Of course, I love etsy, but this kind of "freedom" is good sometimes.

You don't have to get laid or not. Time to dare give your mind a choice.

"I don't know what to do"

I groan a little upbeat as I open the window of Celesta Mansion and look out.

It's good to crawl at night on someone. You can just leave it alone and wait for someone to come crawling at night. It would also be a dick to dare go for a drink and leave all the erotic thoughts.

Unlike before, there are only about a hundred men accompanying Special Agent Becker this time, and the Special Agent Hundred is organizing information outside, so most of them in this mansion are my female slaves. Every option is uncomfortable.

... What a thought, the door just knocked.

"Who?

I wonder if I'm someone from a female slave.

"It's me. Smythson Ten Chiefs"

"Me...?

I worry a little without being able to discern the voice through the door.

Well, there's not a lot of people who still call me that.

"I mean I'm here at this hour..."

You know what's gonna happen, don't you, Naris?

When I opened the door, I said, there's a figure slightly smaller than I expected.

"Would you like to talk to me for a second?

"... Huh?

Tess Marley stood with a bottle of fine liquor for some reason.
