Kuro no Senki (LN)
Lesson 2: Mr. Alyssa's Melancholy Edition
In October of the Empire Calendar four hundred and thirty-two...... Chrono stopped processing the documents and looked towards the window.
The blue sky is spreading out the window.
"... the sky is so blue, I still organize my documents today"
Chrono poked his cheek wand and sighed in a dark mood.
The reason I'm feeling down is not because I can't play.
Of course, it's not caused by work problems.
Territorial management is going well.
Over three years of agricultural reform have just been successful.
Rural village chiefs have also told me about opening new fields.
Anything, until now, they couldn't spread the field because of the heavy burden of grain shedding, but you think that solved it thanks to 'handling a thousand teeth'?
The development of Count Cado's territory is well under way, the installation of Silva-style 3D salt fields is well under way, and the 'Sinner Trade Union' is well under way.
By the way, the dividend received from the 'Sinner Trade Union' is two thousand and two hundred gold coins...... which is horrible because this is 30% of the profits.
The work of the slave traders has also gone well...... they say the demand for Minotaurs has grown since the beginning of the deal with the Holy Argo Kingdom.
The mercenary guild is doing well, the deputies are doing well, everything is going well, but there is only one problem that plagues Chrono.
It's Alyssa.
Something's wrong with Alyssa lately.
He was boggling at work, sighing in a glossy way, his face turning bright red when his eyes met him, leaning away with tremendous momentum even though his hands just touched him a little... well, here's the thing.
"What's going on?
Chrono poked his cheek wand and questioned him.
There is no answer.
Chrono works alone in the office.
"I don't know what's going on."
Chrono looked up to heaven.
Alyssa scratches the soup with a spoon.
The dining room at noon is full of life.
It's an incredible sight to learn about the former Marquis Mansion.
The days of the former Marquis Elakis were quiet, with giddy air.
The relationship between the servants was also bad.
The relationship between the servants who were arranged by the former Marquis Elakis was particularly bad.
Alyssa sighed in a dark mood.
Work is going well.
The burden has increased since I began to combine maid lengths with maids with chrono, but I have not done half the work.
I think he has received more than a certain rating both from his employer, Chrono, and from his men.
However, as a mother, I am slightly unsure.
Of course, I'm not letting my financial inability be Alison.
He's made me quit my job as a flower salesman, and he's also made me educated so that I can get a minimum upbringing.
Even the house moved.
That's all Alyssa makes now.
For that matter, I spent less time with my daughter.
I've never been blamed for that.
Alison is a good girl.
Originally, Alison was a good kid, but she became a better kid than before since Alyssa got back to work.
But it was a separate matter that was depressing Alyssa's mood.
There's something wrong with Master Chrono lately.
When Alyssa feels her gaze at work and turns around, Chrono looks at Alyssa from behind.
That's not all.
Chrono pretends to be a coincidence and touches Alyssa.
What am I supposed to do? and Alyssa asked herself.
Alyssa's common sense shouldn't be that kind of relationship with a man who isn't her husband either.
But I also feel like that's the choice.
Alyssa stopped scratching the soup and turned her gaze around.
The dining room is lively and the maids and clerks who use the dining room laugh with pleasure.
Chrono, who created this sight, would not abandon Alyssa like the former Marquis of Elakis.
If anything happens to Alyssa, Chrono will raise Alison.
I shouldn't.
Without abandoning her shallow thoughts, Alyssa shook her head small.
"Are you free here?
When Alyssa looked up, the general with the tray stood face-to-face.
"Yeah, I'm free"
"Let me sit down."
That said, the general took her seat.
Bread and a small amount of soup were on the tray.
"Are you eating now?
"Little hungry."
The general chopped the bread into small pieces and carried it to her mouth.
Alyssa also restarts her meal.
The soup was completely cold.
When Alyssa finished her meal, the general opened her mouth.
"Are you worried too?
"No, not so much a concern."
"And he looked serious."
The general poked her cheek wand.
Maybe he came to check on Alyssa on the pretext that he was hungry.
"... the general is"
The general looked disgusted.
"What's wrong?
"No, you call me a general, too."
Alyssa fished her memory but couldn't remember the occasion when the general was called by her real name.
"Excuse me, Sheila"
"Be a general, be a general."
"Well, with the general."
The general laughed bitterly.
What do you want me to do? and Alyssa penetrated in her heart.
"So, what happened?
"... a little here"
"I don't think you need to worry about that."
Alyssa put her gaze around.
The maids and clerks had disappeared and the dining room had regained its tranquility.
Apparently, everyone finished their meals while Alyssa was stuck in thingies.
"... my husband"
She looked at me with a sexual eye, but Alyssa said, and immediately rethought.
Even if it were true, self-control worked that we should not denigrate Chrono, the benefactor.
"Can't a general resist having sexual relations with a man other than her husband?
"Are you selling a fight?"
"No, I'd like to refer to what the general thinks."
Uh-huh, the general roared with a difficult look.
"Well, there's resistance. I still love my dead husband."
"If you love your deceased husband, why, with your husband?
Wouldn't the general's attitude be too outrageous towards Chrono and towards her deceased husband?
Are you aware of that, the general turned her back badly.
"Back then... I was in debt for 100 pieces of gold, and I couldn't count on my parents, so I was tempered."
"If my memory is certain, I think the debt problem was resolved at the time the general was hired?
"I don't care. You remember everything."
The general said it didn't seem funny.
"... I will approach Master Chrono to pay my debts."
"Seduced, isn't that a mistake?
"It's all fine, you are. Yes, I seduced Master Chrono to pay my debts."
The general put her arms around her just wondering if she had any complaints.
"That the general seduced her husband to pay her debts and had a relationship?
"You forgot what you said? I thought you said the debt problem was solved when you were hired as a cock."
"... So why?
If the debt problem has been solved, there should no longer be any reason to be held.
"I have a little case. That's when I comforted the depressed Krono."
"Sounds like it's been going on for a long time, though?
"... I can hardly let it go."
The general told her to get bogged down and looked up like a hack.
"Keh, but I'm telling you my husband's the best, right?
"I don't know about that, either."
Alyssa has come to think of the general as a bad girl.
"After all, was the first time bad?
"Thank you"
Alyssa left the lady general with the head behind the dining room.
Khan, the sound of a hammer named Khan echoes in the garden of the Marquis Mansion.
In the days of the former Marquis of Elakis, the garden was quite… well organized to an extent that was not embarrassing to have unexpected visitors, but only minimal care was taken after Chrono became a lord.
Despite such an environment, Empress Tilia prefers to drink incense tea in the garden.
You could call it routine.
Empress Tilia had legs together and was reading a thin book.
Thin books were written by Chrono.
Metaphors, sarcasm, and violence-filled styles are uke to Crono's men.
It would also be a reason to get a simple style and a story.
Alyssa refrains beside Empress Tilia.
Naturally, I don't make a sound out of myself.
The maid should be like air.
Empress Tilia reached for the plate she had placed on the table and picked the biscuit.
The biscuits that the general painstakingly made are also well received by Alyssa's men.
There are also many variations in the use of nuts and dried fruit.
However, the sugar used in biscuits is a luxury product.
If I tell you the recipe, hey, I can't get my hands on it.
Empress Tilia cheeks her biscuits and mouths her cold incense tea.
The biscuits that are made of sugar are luxury, and the maid uses magic to cool incense tea... but Alyssa tried not to think about it.
For a long time, Empress Tilia was well......, and Alyssa tilted her inner neck.
I feel like it was two or three days that Empress Tilia was depressed.
No, it must be because of you, Alyssa denied her memory.
Empress Tilia was deprived of the right to inherit the first throne.
I'm sure you've been depressed for days since we met.
You must have been depressed.
I guess my husband's feelings made sense, Alyssa decided to think.
Chrono's devotion healed Empress Tilia's heart.
The cup is emptied.
Alyssa tilted the teapot and poured the cold incense tea into the cup.
Empress Tilia grins satisfactorily and reaches for the cup.
Alyssa noticed a rope mark on Princess Tilia's wrist, but didn't dare point it out.
I've pretended not to see it before, so now I feel like it, but Alyssa looked up at the sky.
Alyssa was a maid with the Empress Tilia.
I know what the Empress Tilia is treated like by Chrono.
And now Alyssa is a maid with chrono.
I know what Chrono is doing in night games.
Chrono is a good man.
He is a man who has a compassionate heart for his men and his people and reaches out to the needy, the whores and even the slaves for salvation.
But that's not all people are.
Alyssa doesn't know the battlefield, but her men have told me that Krono's martial arts tradition shows that Krono is not just a good man.
Chrono should also be considered ready for ferocity.
If my husband revealed his ferocity..., Alyssa felt pain in her chest.
I think it's horrible.
What will they do?
How will it be ravaged?
Alyssa put herself up to so much horror.
"... Alyssa"
"Huh! Yes, Empress Tilia"
Alyssa breathed.
Soon, Empress Tilia turned to Alyssa and tilted her neck wonderfully.
"Alyssa, what are you snooping about?
"Are you sloppy?
Alyssa held her cheeks to words she never thought of.
I don't know what look I have on my hands.
Would it look a little hot if I insisted?
"Um, were you even thinking about something fun?
"No, nothing"
You lost interest, Empress Tilia headed to the table and started reading the book.
"Welcome home, Mother!
"I'm home, Alison"
When Alyssa opened the door to the house, Alison jumped.
Wouldn't it bother your neighborhood? and Alyssa thought, but held Alison tight without saying anything.
"Eh heh, mother. I'm ready for dinner."
Alison walked away from Alyssa in the smell of light.
Alison will be thirteen this year.
Some are a little young, but they seem ashamed of being sweet to their parents.
"I'm always sorry"
"I won't tell you that. I promise."
Alyssa sat in the chair in the living room and realized there was an unfamiliar kettle.
Even if it's a pot, it's the size of a pot you can put on your palm.
"Oh, that was brought to me by a dog soldier. Let's eat later."
When Alyssa opened the kettle, it contained a bunch of candy.
I can see that the dog soldier is showing Shilo and Hyiro.
Shilo and Hyiro are concerned about something and Alison.
They'll both take care of Alison till the day they're off duty.
Can I buy expensive candy with Shilo and Hyiro salaries?
Alyssa immediately thought of Chrono.
But Ciro and Hylo won't be taking care of Alison on Chrono's orders.
Chrono does not maneuver to impose burdens on his off-duty men.
Maybe Chrono found out that Shilo and Hyiro were meeting Alison on an off-duty day and asked her to give him the candy.
"Alison, with your husband..."
"You mean your brother? Your brother and I meet sometimes."
Alison put bread and soup on the table as she came out of the kitchen.
Alyssa embarked on herself.
"When?
"So sometimes. About once a week or not. But your brother's a worker to visit the city on holidays."
Alison sat on the chair and said with her eyes like a maiden in love.
Chrono is also a benefactor to Alison, so it would be a natural flow.
"What are you doing when you meet him?
"That's not a word for my daughter."
Alison said as if she was frightened.
"Hmm, your brother and I will walk in the outdoor shop, go to the back alley... and hang out with friends"
Alice spurted out pussy about what was fun.
"Your brother is a lord, but no one will notice."
"... oh, that's"
When inspecting the city, Chrono wears clothes no different from those of the civilian population.
So I guess nobody notices.
"Brother, you're adorable"
"... cute?
Alyssa inquired.
Even Alyssa sometimes thinks Chrono is cute, but she finds it uncomfortable that her own daughter says Chrono is cute.
"Your brother is an amazing man, but he's not amazing. See, your brother..."
Alison spoke of Chrono's awesomeness, but Alyssa couldn't understand a tenth of her daughter's words.
Alyssa was stunned.
Alison goes to private school.
At the very least, he was kind enough to get a minimum upbringing, but he didn't expect to get a upbringing beyond Alyssa's understanding.
Yeah, right, and Alyssa was just giving it back.
"And I'll talk to your brother about the future."
"What do you want to do?
"Mother, that's not a word for my daughter either."
Alison said dissatisfied, pushing silently.
"I want to help your brother. Uh, maids, not as soldiers, more, in a different way."
"... it"
Alyssa thought of Elena first.
There is learning to help Chrono in ways other than maids and soldiers.
And Conne, of course.
Complete minimum upbringing.
That's about it, Alyssa can handle it.
But it's harder than that.
"... sorry, you can't"
"No, it's okay"
"I've told you many times, it's not a word for my daughter."
Alison said as if she was frightened.
Alyssa turned out the light and lay in bed.
I've made a bargain, but I have to say it's hard to get Alison to study in a group of free city states, or in the imperial capital.
Alyssa's monthly salary is two gold coins and ten silver coins.
There is quite a bit of storage, but it is impossible to keep supporting my daughter on an annual basis.
I just have to offer my husband a debt...... but will he lend me the money without any collateral? and Alyssa turned sideways, round.
The only thing between Alyssa and Chrono is the employment relationship and the credibility we have developed in over two years.
Debt credit as collateral.
That seemed like too convenient an idea.
"I seduced Master Chrono to pay my debts."
Alyssa remembered the woman's words and held her lower abdomen.
I know Chrono is not that kind of person.
But if Alyssa had that kind of relationship with Chrono, the idea of debting credit as collateral would be realistic.
Is it something so valuable to my body? and Alyssa stroked her lower abdomen.
Alyssa's body has been defiled by the former Marquis Elakis, and an impossible abortion has been snuck and broken.
Maybe, my heart too.
Alyssa walks down the hallway of the Marquis Mansion, chewing on the absence.
I was going to be ready for my daughter, but I had a shallow sleep last night.
Three, no, four, I woke up.
Apparently, I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was.
Alyssa bowled with Cecily where she tried to climb the stairs.
Cecily peeled her eyes off and coughed to fix it.
"Sir, whichever way"
"If you were that man, wouldn't you be devouring your inebriation in bed?
Cecily said as she held her mouth down as if she cared about her bad breath.
Well, I don't even know what it feels like.
"Your husband was off today, wasn't he?
"I don't know."
Cecily turned her back pussy and went somewhere.
Cecily didn't seem to realize Alyssa was off duty.
When Alyssa entered Chrono's room, Chrono was in the midst of getting dressed.
My husband was a warrior... you became a fighter, and Alyssa stared inadvertently at Chrono.
Chrono's body was tight.
However, height does not appear to be in the average range, nor does it appear to have muscles attached to it.
But the countless wounds inscribed there told the story of a man without a privileged body who ran on the battlefield.
"... Yiyan"
When Chrono finished wearing his jacket, he said something weird and twisted his body.
Chrono sat in the chair looking awkward.
"Aren't you off today, Alyssa?
"... My husband asked me for a favor"
"Did you come here last night because of a favor, too?
Alyssa was struck like she had her heart eagled.
If you look, Chrono was mumbling small things.
That was a button.
Alyssa stared at the sleeve of her clothes.
There was no button there that was supposed to be.
"Sir, I have a favor to ask of you"
Alyssa walked over to Chrono and touched Chrono's hand.
Scary, I think.
Floors stained with meat mass and blood plunder Alyssa's back of her brain.
"Alyssa wants your husband's favor."
"Is that for Alison?
Alyssa breathed.
Chrono poked his cheekstick at him like he was a pain in the ass.
"I know Alison wants to study to help me."
"... as my mother"
"You've solved the case."
Alyssa opened her eyes less to surprise.
"Scholarships… because the school system is not well established, more than a certain number of wealthy people will be eligible."
"I didn't know Alison was eligible for a scholarship."
"The goal is to bring back new knowledge, so you don't have to jump through and not be good. Well, I've never been brilliant."
Alison's dream comes true.
That concludes the conversation.
It is no longer necessary for Alyssa to borrow money from Chrono with her own body as collateral.
Alyssa squeezed the apron of the maid's clothes.
"Alyssa looks like she's looking for a reason."
"It's to make my daughter's dream come true. Somewhat, isn't it natural to be skeptical?
Chrono grinned like a crack.
"Aren't you looking for a reason to be held?
"I'm just acting for my daughter"
"Really?"
Chrono took his hand off Alyssa.
"I'm off today, right?"
……
"You don't have to worry about the scholarship. Alison and I have known each other a long time. I don't think Alison will stay at school until she abandons her mother."
Still, Alyssa thinks.
"I'm off today, aren't I? But I'm wondering if I can help work for Alyssa."
Chrono stood up slowly,
"... waiting for you at the general's shop"
I slapped Alyssa on the shoulder and left the room.
My husband will fulfill Alison's wishes, and Alyssa will go for the general's shop.
I changed my clothes.
What Alyssa is wearing right now is not the maid of honor she's used to wearing, but a plain piece.
for her daughter, and Alyssa shook her head.
Chrono doesn't break promises.
That's who I am.
So Alyssa's actions make no sense.
Thoughts are as frigid as they were in heat.
Alyssa stepped into the general's shop so that she could fall... now Crono's former men rent it and run the dining room and the carry-on inn...
Luckily, there were no guests.
Master Krono waited in the room at the left end, the elf owner said, cutting the vegetables.
Alyssa climbs the stairs and heads to the room at the left edge.
Is this the right choice? and Alyssa stops there.
Geesh, and I heard the stairs clattering.
If someone I know sees me......, Alyssa jumped into the room and closed the door with momentum.
"... Oh, I'm coming"
Chrono scratched Wallace on the bed and said unexpectedly.
"My husband told me to come."
"I just said I was waiting, you didn't tell me to come, did you?
Chrono scratched Wallace, rocking his body back and forth.
That's all the cheap beds stuck together.
"What does Alyssa want?
"It's about fulfilling my daughter's dream."
"Really?"
Chrono gave a mocking grin.
That day, Alyssa found out what she wanted.
