Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

256 Return to Viscount Territory (1)

The day after the reception, in preparation for tomorrow's departure, me and Hulka were gobbling on the bed with Toya on their asses going all out with the last push.

Thanks to the Marquis Marmont, I could afford just to taste a lot of food, but the mental stress was still enormous.

I don't mean what I did, I'm basically just standing there, but that's a pain in the ass.

I can't talk about bad things, and I'm tired of being seen all the time when I was a very common person.

Because it's an elf, or in the beginning it was good for even Raffan to get noticed, but the usual scope of action is set, and it's not that big a town, so after a while it's gone, too, and it's different because of the way it gets noticed.

Rafan's just watching it because of its rarity, and what I've done that seems like 'there's a funny elf'.

But in yesterday's scene, it's not just my problem, so I'm nervous.

"Ahhh, something feels stiff all over my body"

"Really, right? Oh, my God, my facial muscles are going to get stiff."

"Halka, I was making an expression..."

It's not like Hulka is heartless, but she has a gentle grin all the time.

For that reason, the expression during yesterday's reception must have been a little impossible.

"But nobility is a pain in the ass, too. Laughing, it's like we're hitting each other with words, right?

"Master Ilias is still a child, but I guess it would be worse if he were an adult"

I don't remember his name very well already, but he was obviously coming to pick up a mount against Master Ilias for stories about being attacked, such as the first man to speak up.

Though faded out lightly with the appearance of a higher nobility.

"It sounds like it's hard to study, and you don't have much freedom."

"Marquis Marmont seemed pretty free, though."

"He's special, no matter what you think."

There were all those nobles, and he was the only one who emitted a different color.

Well, it's amazing because it doesn't look like she's buying a bundle.

Of course, I guess that's because of his character and the title he's just allowed to do so.

"If you think about it, it might be easiest for an adventurer who's making money."

"Unless a strange nobleman puts his hand on it."

"... after all, we need the asylum of the nobles"

With pure force, we may be able to confront it.

But if you repel it, that sucks.

If it is between nobles, it may be treated as a “conflict," but if ordinary people kill, it is murder against nobility.

Assuming they were any evil aristocracy, the institutional side would naturally turn to the enemy and we would be killed.

"A righteous ally kills the bad guys and has a happy ending."

"Bad transportation is saving when it comes to saving."

"It doesn't make sense that I'm going to jump the car for a second."

Naturally, the speed aspect is quite life-threatening, even in terms of safety on the road.

The parno suddenly shows up, it doesn't look like there's anything going on... why don't we cage it in the dungeon for a while? You just won't be able to come after me.

"Let Viscount Naenas throw the troubles around. It's a problem at the request of Viscount Nenas."

"Haruka's beauty caused the problem, I can tell you."

"Oh, I can't believe it's beautiful. Are you complimenting me?

"You don't deny it's beautiful, do you?

As Arlandi, the same elf, said, I wonder how aesthetically uneven it is to see Hulka's appearance and not beautiful.

"Oh, yeah. Thanks."

To my honest feelings, Hulka lay her face down on the bed like a little light.

It was Hulka, who had been stuck there for a while, but he woke up physically as if he had regained his mind.

"... hey, Nao. Shall I massage you? The body, it's elaborate, isn't it?

"Hmm? Well, I appreciate it..."

"Right. Look, get down on the ground."

Either that or mental fatigue is greater than physical stiffness, but I honestly get depressed, which is hard to say to the motivated Hulka as well.

Let's go.

Up on the bed, Hulka lowers her hips to cross me, hands on her back and begins a slow massage.

Mm-hmm. I'm comfortable, to be honest.

If it's just treatment, it's magic, but there's still something different about it.

"Customer, you're so elaborate ~"

"Really?

"Yeah, I just said it"

"What the hell?"

When I laugh lightly, Hulka laughs a little too and goes on with her hips, back and massage.

"But Nao's body, it's thinner than before, isn't it? It's tight, though."

"It feels like you're only a little taller. Now, my muscle strength is obviously high... and I'm a little tickled"

Move your hands to escape the hand of Hulka, who strokes the muscles of your arms.

"Ah, I'm sorry. But that's the same for me, isn't it? My body's thinner... and my chest."

"No, that's it, and I think it's good to be in tune, right? Yeah."

"Then it's good..."

………

………

My shoulders, neck muscles and Hulka's hands rub as I weigh in silently.

My back warms up and Hulka's exhale tickles my ears.

"... but what's the matter, suddenly? Massage or something."

"We're partners, aren't we? Why don't you do something like that? Oh, I'll do it later, too."

Is that my word at the reception?

"Right. And Haruka... you're deciding who to deal with."

"Yeah, right."

………

………

Again, we'll be silent with each other.

Hulka's hand stopped at some point and that face was right next to mine.

Even if you look nearby, it's really beautiful, his face.

As he gently reaches out and closes his face, Haruka closes his lid "Eyelid".

And -.

"Hey, Nao. To have lunch..."

Suddenly, without a knock, Gachari and the door to the room were opened.

And then Toya and I come in and my gaze bumps.

Make a noise with Bachin already.

The air in the room freezes.

"- I'm going to eat. I won't be back for a while! Me and the nuts! Yeah, about two hours, specifically. Bye!!"

Bang slightly rampantly the door closes and you can hear Toya running away.

No, what are you gonna do, this air?

What should I do?

………

"... he hasn't been back in about two hours."

"Yeah, I see...?

"What are we going to do?

Halka stares at me with her eyes open and deep, clear eyes.

To her like that, I reached out again slowly.

◇ ◇ ◇

In the end, my last lunch with Halka's Cleville was done with something stocked in a magic bag.

The Natsukis, who really came back after less than two hours, didn't say anything and responded as usual... Rather, the fact that they didn't say anything makes me feel like a delicate mess.

Hulka... you talk very normally, don't you?

"You could have bought everything you might need?

"Yes, I got enough rice, and there were quite a few kinds of spices, so if you work hard, I think you can make something close to curry"

"There were so many other rare things that I bought into it. Maybe some spices can be grown in the garden?

"Yes. I'll try my best! It will only be the spices of the seeds."

"They filled me with delicious things!

It really is a very normal conversation.

And he remembered Curry's story well.

Is Meatier interested in eating and walking?

We ate a lot at the reception too, but I still wanted to try eating outside with ease.

Me and Hulka had a packed education, and in the end, we just ate on the first day.

"Instead, I spent a lot of money, okay?

"Well, if you've decided that Natsuki and Yuki are good, I don't mind... Wow, you've really used them. When I get home, I need to work hard for a while."

You can't get cash for this escort request.

Hulka peeks into a leather bag with common expenses and speaks up unexpectedly.

Whatever Toya is, I don't think the Natsukis will waste it, but from Hulka's words, they probably spent a lot of money buying in food.

By contrast, speaking of Toya...

"Uh, Nao, sorry about earlier, huh?

"What are you talking about? I was just treating Halka, right? Yesterday at the reception, my whole body was stiff. Yeah, yeah."

"No, at a time when they didn't come after me instantly, because they find out"

………

Toya has a frightened look, but it's refreshing to me.

"So, it worked?

"... I have no idea what you're talking about, and I have no idea, but no comment"

"Men don't hide things from each other, do they? I'm not asking for details.... If you look at Hulka, you don't have to ask."

"... you know what I mean?

"Obviously, you're in a good mood."

Is it something like that?

Of course, I don't think it's bad, but I think it's always like that.

- No, around I don't know that, maybe I can't.

It's far from your son.

"I bless you, don't I?

"I don't know what you're talking about, but thanks"

Toya shrugged her shoulder like a little shrugged in response to me.

Early the next morning we left for Viscount Nenas.

From Clevilley to Mijara to Pinning so as to follow the road that came the other way.

Now there's nothing like being attacked by a thief, I've done some outbound road repairs, and the journey goes smoothly.

Along the way, although it was only the happenings that fell into the rain, on the schedule, it was almost on schedule and back to the pinnings.
