Home of the Brave

Along with the scent that floated, Dai Yang easily found Miranda who was working in the kitchen.

I saw the daughter of the Embryone family, guarding the saucepan on the stove, stirring the soup ladle in her hand unhurriedly. The taste of potato stew came from the soup pot. According to Dai Yang's memory, this is the third time the Duke's daughter has challenged this dish. Although the previous two failed with quite heroic results, at least so far this time, there seems to be no problem.

Dai Yang pushed the door in. He didn't deliberately lower the footsteps, but the Duke's daughter seemed to be too focused on the stirring work in front of him, so he didn't pay attention to the movement behind him. Miranda's right hand is holding the spoon tightly, and the spoon is making precise circular motions in the saucepan at a rhythm of three seconds a week. The Miko's face was tense and her movements were stiff, as if she had completely transformed into a stirring machine, but her focused appearance also made people feel differently cute.

"Idiot, relax."

Dai Yang walked over and hugged the witch from behind. The Duke's daughter stiffened in an instant, and then struggled like a reflection, but Dai Yang had been prepared for this. With both arms pressing the struggle of the Duke's daughter, he lowered his head to bite the soft earlobe of the maiden. After applying a little force, the maiden screamed and fell softly into the man's arms—the earlobe was one of the few weaknesses of the Duke’s daughter, and it was also a secret that Dai Yang discovered after being baptized by the thunder for countless times.

"You, you villain..."

Seeing that the person holding him was Dai Yang, the Duke's daughter relaxed, but still did not forget the mission he was carrying out.

"Let... let me go! Xia Luwei said that to avoid burning, you have to stir it well." Miranda struggled to raise the spoon in her hand.

"Well, that's it... But it's okay, you are busy with yours, I am busy with mine, we will not affect each other."

Said Dai Yang, holding the Duke's daughter's right hand, put the spoon back into the pot, and helped her continue to stir. But at the same time, his other hand was not idle, and he sneaked into the duke's daughter's robes, holding the warm and soft meat ball on the maiden's chest through the thin cloth. Because he had just returned from the cold outside, the cold palms caused the maiden to exclaim.

"It's cold! What are you doing? In...in such a place, Xia Luwei will see when she comes back..."

"When you see it, you see it. Anyway, everyone has slept in a bed, so what's so shy about it?" Dai Yang replied brazenly.

"Well, that's because you said there is only one bed...this, and you can't sleep on the floor this season, so I had to..." Miranda embarrassed.

"I didn't lie, the wooden bed in the guest room was originally smashed by you, right?" Dai Yang, who said this, lowered his head and sniffed the light fragrance of the witch's hair.

"Just...even if that's the case, you can't...well, let me go! Let go of them!" The man's breath moved the sensitive ears of the maiden, and Miranda twisted uncomfortably.

"Hey, the soup is going to be mushy?"

"Huh?"

Dai Yang frightened the witch, and the result was immediate. Miranda stirred the spoon tremblingly, not daring to move it casually, and had to let the man hold herself in her arms.

"Well, just don't move, just warm my hands..."

Dai Yang closed his eyes, enjoying the soft touch from his palm very much, always feeling as if his heart was warming up together.

On the other hand, the Duke's daughter flushed embarrassedly, bit her lip, bowed her head and silently endured a sense of shyness erupting from her heart, but still did not forget the work of stirring the spoon.

Time was flowing in the circle of the spoon, and I don't know how long it had passed, suddenly the female knight's exclamation sounded behind her. The awakened Dai Yang looked back and saw Xia Luwei standing at the door of the kitchen with a bucket of water in her hand, looking at the two people hugging here with a look of astonishment.

"Then, that, I... I just came back with water..." Xia Luwei blushed instantly as if seeing something that shouldn't be seen. "Yes, I'm sorry! I will leave immediately!"

"Idiot, what are you running?" Dai Yang stopped the female knight who turned and was about to run away, and beckoned to her. "Come here quickly."

"Follow...come here?" Xia Luwei blinked and didn't react for a while.

"Well, there is still an empty seat here." Dai Yang gestured with his free right hand. The female knight who received the instruction hesitated, and then hesitated and walked slowly towards this side.

"Huh? Wait, don't you think... Xia Luwei, no, can't come over!" Seeing the man's five-finger obscene movements, the witch suddenly woke up and reminded her friends loudly, but it was too late.

"Hmph, it's too late!" Dai Yang reached out and hugged the female knight who was approaching, and put the other hand into the human flesh heater in the same way.

As the female knight screamed, the man fulfilled his ambition to hug the left and the right, but the two girls looked at each other shyly and fell into a state of embarrassment.

With his left arm around the Duke's daughter and the right arm around the female knight, while slowly playing with the abundance of her hands, while looking down at the two girls in her arms, the previous worries could not help being thrown out of the sky. An indescribable warm feeling filled his mind, Dai Yang suddenly lowered his head and kissed the two girls on the cheeks.

"This world is really fair..."

※※※

Due to accidental harassment on the way, the Duke’s daughter gambled on the dishes cooked by the dignity of the Embryon family, but still failed to reach the perfect state.

When Miranda brought some scorched potato stew to the table with a mournful face, Dai Yang showed what a responsible man should do. He took the initiative to rush the burned part to his plate, and under the nervous gaze of the Miko, he ate it without hesitation.

"Well, it's a good cut this time, I didn't mix up big and small pieces like last time."

"That, Xia Luwei helped me cut it..."

"Really? But the dishes look very good, and they are specially sprinkled with wild onions to enhance the flavor, which makes them very appetizing."

"That, Xia Luwei picked it for me..."

"Uh, at least it tastes good... the spices are well matched, it's really a shame that you can tell what's in those jars."

"That, that was also picked out by Xia Luwei for me..."

"...Don't be discouraged. As the saying goes,'failure is the mother of success.' Xia Luwei also reached this state after worshiping many goddesses."

"Woo... I will work hard..."

…With such plots, the Dai family of three enjoyed dinner in a happy atmosphere.

After the meal, the two girls were responsible for cleaning the table and washing the dishes. Dai Yang went outside and brought some dry wood in, threw it into the fireplace on the left side of the living room, and then lit a fire to keep warm. The roaring fire quickly dissipated the cold that had invaded the room, and when he moved the chair over, the two girls who had done the housework walked in. Seeing the hot firelight in the fireplace, he suddenly cheered and ran over, holding hands, to start a fire around the fireplace.

"...Hello, is there no place for me?"

Xia Luwei and Miranda filled the seats in front of the fireplace. Although they were originally moved to sit, Dai Yang couldn't help protesting when the two girls looked at me and me in front of the fireplace.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Xia Luwei stood up almost subconsciously and was about to give up her position to her lover.

"Well, it's our eldest wife...Come, sit here." Dai Yang took the female knight to sit on his lap, next to the witch, and took advantage of the situation to insert the conversation between the two women.

"Speaking of which, what did you two do at home today?"

"...Huh, this should be what we want to ask, right?" Miranda snorted slightly, carving a few wrinkles between her nose. "You guy, you haven't seen a trace all afternoon. Have you run around fooling around?"

"Fooling around? How could it be possible, I have to go to the account." Dai Yang said casually.

"Accounting?" Miranda looked suspicious. "Are there still unrecovered debts in Lanlos? Why don't I remember..."

What needs to be explained here is that Dai Yang had commissioned Miranda a few days ago to calculate the business accounts of the prop shop. As the head of the Royal Academy, the Duke’s daughter spent two days sorting out all the old accounts left by the prop shop from the time of Daddy Dai. Not only did she clear out a large number of old and bad accounts, but also through the method of triangular convertible debt. The item shop recovered a lot of losses. Therefore, when it comes to understanding the operating conditions of the prop store, I am afraid that someone who is the owner of the store will have to bow down.

"Uh..." Dai Yang thought of the incident, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his arms around the maiden couldn't help tightening. "Don't think about it, baby, that's a liability that wasn't included in the books."

"It's not included in the account books? Why?" Miranda was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, tilting the first-class man to explain.

"Well, it's actually like this..." Dai Yang explained the technical handling of his drinking and chatting in a bad middle-aged tavern. "...The bad middle-aged bastard, he ran over to drink tea every day when I was not at home, and he ruined a good can of tea. That's a high-priced product that I can't bear to drink! You say, in this tone How can I endure it? So I decided to retaliate against him... well, until I emptied the wine cellar of "Liu Ke Yu"."

"You..." Miranda looked at someone who was speaking righteously with a dazed expression, and then concluded: "Simply put, you have been fooling around in the tavern all afternoon, right?"

"Although it may be true in terms of the results, it is definitely a misunderstanding." Dai Yang insisted. "I didn't do it for my own pastime, but for the debts I got home. I felt that this lofty act of self-sacrifice should be praised and praised..."

"Okay, let's stop talking..." Miranda pressed her forehead and sighed. "Really, Xia Luwei, are all men like this?"

"Yes, it should be..." The maiden, who didn't have much experience with men, turned to her friends for verification. Unexpectedly, Xia Luwei actually gave a pretty definite answer. "Captain Glass, Dugan, Jay, the men in the security team like to make small jokes like this, and often play with the girls in the town... Well, I think that feeling is not annoying. NS."

"Is that so..." Miranda frowned, but Dai Yang's expression changed on the spot.

"Wait! Wait! Xia Luwei, when did you become so acquainted with those guys?"
