Chapter 14 – 03. Kingdom of Ulstro – Squire Life (5)

“Haam…”

“Did you not sleep well?”

Elsa, who had been yawning, was startled by Mercedes ‘question and tried to nod her head, but she shook it again hurriedly.

“Ah, no. That… I’m tired for some reason… “

“I told you yesterday, but don’t push yourself too hard.”

After saying that, Mercedes headed back to the front of the group. As she went in front of her, albeit right in front of her nose her, Elsa let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the scene from behind, Valdez thought that yesterday was too much.

Last night, it was only after three hours had passed that he finally sent Elsa back to her room. It was understandable that Elsa was so tired, considering that she had finished in less than an hour before that.

‘It’s okay, but it’s still not enough….’

I couldn’t help it.

He was the one who spent every day dissolutely in the Devil’s Castle. He said that he had only endured it for a few days, and his sexual desire his was seeing.

He changed his mind 5 days after joining the Knights. He thought that it was not necessary to target Mercedes or Ethylene as the first attack target, and used the enchantment magic a little excessively to provoke Elsa.

In the end, Elsa couldn’t stand her and attacked him, and Valdez used that as an excuse to take her every night.

Elza, now a servant rather than a knight, was still a commoner. If the accident that she, who is neither a noble nor a commoner, attacked another servant in her royal family, the Pedro Knights, is known, she will be kicked out of the knights and will never become a knight. It was clear.

The start was intimidating, but he was confident. Within a week, without threats, she would come first.

“How is it? Can you ride a horse?”

Amy, who was running alongside her, spoke to her.

“Yeah, it was easier than I thought.”

“Wow… It took me over a week to learn.”

“I’m quick to learn a little bit.”

When I said that, Amy laughed heartily and liked her work her as if it were her own her.

“It’s your first mission, aren’t you nervous? You’re going to catch a troll.”

“I’ve seen it a few times while working as a mercenary.”

“Ah, that’s right. You said you came from mercenary work, right?”

In her belated realization, Amy nodded her head. He had been a mercenary for several years, she said, although she often forgot about her demeanor of her, which I don’t think was a tough mercenary.

“That’s amazing… Huh? What’s wrong?”

When Valdez suddenly looked behind her, she questioned her.

“No, nothing.”

He shook her head and turned her to face Amy. But even so, his nerves were still directed backwards.

‘He’s staring at me badly.’

Ethylene, who was to accompany him on this mission, was in the place where his eyes were directed until just now.

Mercedes was leading the mission at the front of the procession heading to the Planck’s estate. After that, there were 3 knights in a row, and around the knights, their own seeds were gathered.

Mercedes assigned Ethylene a second seat right behind him in the sense that this was also her first assignment to her, so that she would learn several things. Thanks to this, Valdez had to continue to feel the stars glaring at him.

“Huh.”

Ethylene looks at Valdes with an annoyed look.

Anyone can see that she was worried about her, who gave off her uncomfortable expression of her, her only lifeblood of her.

“Why is that, Knight?”

“…It’s nothing.”

“If there is anything uncomfortable, please tell me anytime.”

“Yes, Thanks.”

Ethylene smiled at her Life Seed her.

Because she suddenly joined the knights due to a martial arts competition, she had no assigned seed.

Originally, she was supposed to select a seed along with the entrance exam for the knights, but the timing was not right because she entered through a martial arts competition. So, she had only one life attendant who served other knights.

Still, Ethylene was satisfied because the living seed was a competent person with many years of seed experience. Of course, it was a pity that she still hadn’t become a knight as a servant herself.

“Hmm, it looks like it’s going to be a bit slow at this speed. Speed ​​up!”

“Yes!”

At Mercedes’ cry, everyone urged their words.

We ran for a long time, but unfortunately the first night turned into a camp. In fact, if she had moved a little slower, she could have stayed in the village she had traveled to for several hours, but she had no choice but to run further because the time was ambiguous for her to stay there.

“The vigil is scheduled to go back in groups of three.”

Valdez was assigned to the top three along with Mercedes and Glet.

Ethylene, who was number one, said she would stand in her place and she offered to trade with Mercedes, but she refused, saying she could n’t keep the two of her youngest children together.

In the end, Ethylene couldn’t help but put on a curt expression the entire time she ate her late dinner.

She ate dinner, tidied up, and had a little free time before she all got together and fell asleep. Unfortunately, she couldn’t wash her body because there was no stream nearby.

After she closed her eyes for a moment, time passed quickly. As she was a mercenary, it was not difficult for her to get up right on time, as she had been on the night watch many times.

As Mercedes and Valdez gathered around the bonfire and warmed up, Glalette approached her, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

“Aren’t you tired?”

“I’m fine.”

“Me too.”

“That’s good.”

“…”

Mercedes wasn’t the type of talker of hers, so she threw that one out and shut her mouth. In her own way, she was thinking about what would be good for her to say in her head her, but she had no spirituality.

Glatt was nervous because Mercedes was right next to her, so she couldn’t speak well, and thanks to this, Valdez brought up a story to lighten her mood.

He was n’t particularly good with words either, so he only asked questions or told me about his experiences his as a mercenary. Of course, the story of his mercenary days was a moderate adaptation of what he experienced when he was Pedro.

“…Whoops, you’ve had various experiences.”

When Mercedes let out a small laugh, Glatt’s eyes widened when she saw it.

‘Cow, you laughed out loud?’

She had been under the Mercedes for several years, but the number of times she’d seen her laugh out loud could be counted on her hands her. Usually, all it does is draw a small smile on her face.

‘Stop, no way…’ .’

Glette begins to suspect that Mercedes is interested in Valdez.

Of course, a person like a princess could say that commoners of mixed demon race were good, but they did not know about human affairs. Just like her childhood friend her suddenly got another fiancée.

‘… I’m suddenly annoyed. Is it because they’re going to their manor?’

She thought she was forgetting well though, and she felt uncomfortable planting for nothing.

‘Isn’t it? Still, it’s Mercedes-sama… Okay. She will be interested not as a member of the opposite sex, but as a knight.’

It must have been. No, she had to. She was sure that if Mercedes were her rival her, she would n’t stand a chance against her.

Valdez’s hard-wearing turns made it easy for them to pass the time. She was a constant vigilant who would be bored when standing with unluckily uncomfortable or silent people.

“That, go to sleep first. I…”

“Why?”

“Ah, that, that’s…”

“Yes?”

“Get some urine…”

“Ah, that, Mi, I’m sorry.”

At his words her, Mercedes rushed back to her sleeping bag, her face blushing.

Glatt also got into her sleeping bag with a slight pounding heart. In an instant, warmth enveloped her body. It was so strange that it was so warm even though it didn’t seem that thick.

‘… Valdes isn’t coming.’

I woke up in the middle of the night, so I couldn’t fall asleep right away. She glanced at Valdez’s sleeping bag across from it, but it was still empty.

‘Could something happen?’

Suddenly, goose bumps ran across my back. She got up carefully so as not to wake others up and headed for the place where Valdes had disappeared.

“Yeah… Uh…”

Was the uneasy premonition correct? A voice sounded like someone was sick in the distance.

There could be a beast or monster nearby, so I kept silent and walked in the direction I heard the voice. As I got closer to the source, the faint sound grew louder and louder.

But something was strange.

“Cheup…, Tseuk,…Haha.”

No matter how much I thought about it, the sound I heard now was not the sound I heard when I was in pain. And the intermittent sound of sucking something. Crucially, this was the sound of a woman.

My heart started beating fast.

… Gulp.

I lowered myself. Just in case, I slowly hid in the bushes.

“!!”

Seeing her in front of her eyes, she unconsciously covered her mouth with both her hands. A grit of dirt smeared on her face from her left hand her on her floor, but she didn’t care.

Valdez was leaning against a tree with his pants down.

And underneath, someone was crouching down with his face between his crotch.

Glet was an aristocrat who had received various education under various tutors. There was no lack of sexual knowledge to the point of not knowing what the two men and women were doing.

Pounding. Pounding.

‘Oh, what happened? Who is that woman?’

His convoluted head his didn’t turn properly. He even thought about taking a deep breath to calm his confused mind about him, but he couldn’t do it for fear of being caught.

“Umm… Haoop, … Half.”

“Right. Don’t set your teeth. Lick it that way.”

Valdez was stroking the woman’s hair with a friendly look on his face.

“Cheup, yes…♡”

The lewd woman’s voice was muffled by something being held in her mouth, so it was difficult to accurately identify it. However, what was certain was that it was happening with mutual consent, without coercion, and it looked very familiar.

The clouds that covered the moon lifted a little, and the moonlight illuminated the trees.

I could see her shoulder-length red hair on her.

‘Eh, Elza…?’

There were two other people in her party with red hair besides her, but only Elsa came to mind in Glatt’s mind. There was no way Valdes, who had been here for about ten days, knew other people.

“Haum, … Oops!”

While she panicked, Valdes grabbed Elsa’s head with both hands.

And she flinched and shuddered.

“… Huh, you worked hard. I’m sorry for calling you all of a sudden.”

“Gulp… Ah, no.”

‘Sah, did you swallow it?!’

Can you be more surprised here? She would have screamed if she hadn’t covered her mouth with her hand.

“I didn’t wash today, so I smelled a bit of sweat, right?”

“But… Joe, it was good…”

Valdez and Elza tidied up properly and then quietly disappeared after having a frightening conversation.

“… Pha!”

It was only after a few minutes had passed that the two of them were out of sight before Glett took his hands from his mouth to him and breathed.

“Ha ha, ha, what, what happened?”

Are the two dating? If so, since when?

Due to the nature of the seed, most of the time was forced to be together. In particular, Elsa is a life seed. She was busier than herself, and she had to stick with Mercedes all day every other day.

Rather, it was she who spent the most time with Valdez.

I heard a bit of regret.

“What’s this…”

Even so, the started heart still did not calm down.

Are the two really dating? Why did Elsa raise her words her to Valdez? If it’s not between lovers….

After the first day of camping, there was no such thing as homelessness.

She could sleep in towns and cities, with Mercedes moderately pacing her.

On the way, they also stopped by Glette’s hometown, Cornetto Manor, but since they arrived in the morning, they got a meal and said goodbye and left right away.

Thanks to this, Glatt could put her mind at ease a bit, but the problem was that her worries her weren’t the only ones.

‘So what’s the relationship between the two of them….’

Even while Glett was agonizing over it, the knights continued towards her destination.

When they arrived at Planx’s estate, the party ended up hearing embarrassing words.

“The trolls have already been slain…?”

“Yes that’s right.”

At Baron Planck’s words, Mercedes squinted at her.

“I sent someone a few days ago… Have you not met?”

“Oops. It looks like the paths crossed.”

If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought a crystal ball.

My tongue was full at the mission that had been canceled in vain.

“But how did you deal with it?”

Planx’s territory was once trampled by the Demon King’s army. The scale of Wonche Manor was small and there were no special products. In a word, there was not much room for money to come out.

Thanks to you, the restoration has not yet been completed. Although the royal family reduced taxes to some extent, there was little money to spend on restoring the territory, so there was no way they could afford to increase the number of soldiers and knights.

That is why the Knights of Pedro were dispatched.

“That… A passing wizard, no, a Elementalist helped.”

“A spirit sage?”

Mercedes’ eyes sparkled.
