5. Bread and Dagger (30)

Coniferous forests in the north boast vast areas.

Until then, the land had looked like moss at most. The fact that such a number of trees could grow was surprising in itself.

The forest was a treasure trove of life.

The existence that plays the role of absorbing nutrients from the ground was the plant. The ecosystem could only be established when plants supported the bottom of the food chain.

So coniferous forests had no choice but to have a significant meaning in the North.

It’s probably the place where the most life in the North lives, and it’s also a place with more dangers.

I was planning to explore the mysteries of Mother Nature.

If it weren’t for Elsie-senpai who suddenly attacked me.

Elsie’s clumsy seduction continued.

“Master, so… Um, Joe, it’s a little hot, isn’t it? Would you like to take off your clothes?”

“No, I’m fine.”

“Oh, don’t do that!”

After much effort, it was Elsie who made me sit on the bed.

The effort to somehow take advantage of this opportunity to improve our relationship worked. Now it was to the point of fumbling around trying to take off my clothes.

Of course, no matter how strong Elsie’s physical strength was, she wasn’t my opponent.

In addition, Elsie’s hand was too clumsy. It seemed clear that men’s understanding of clothes was not very high.

Come to think of it, Elsie-senpai was also a virgin.

It was only for one night at most, but I inadvertently became a person who took it easy with the presence or absence of sexual experience. If Leto saw it, he looked beyond ridiculed and full of spirits.

But what can I do?

Elsie-senpai was like a pure white drawing paper that didn’t know anything, and I was after a dense night. I had to have a different mindset.

Also, the present Elsie senior seemed overly impatient.

I silently held the hand of Elsie, who was fumbling through my clothes.

Then Elsie-senpai shuddered as if she was surprised, then slowly looked at me.

It was like a dog that was found guilty.

I had to say warm words to reassure Elsie.

“Elsie-senpai, what’s wrong?”

“Why, why… … .”

It was senior Elsie who had recently been showing me disrespect.

There was only one reason to use honorifics again. It meant that she was psychologically withered.

I was in the middle of a sexual temptation that I had never done in my life.

I don’t know why, but if I said I wasn’t anxious and nervous, it would be a lie. Everyone’s first experience was an object of envy and fear.

There was no need to limit it to women.

Leto had advised me before that even among men, there were many times when they were too nervous and had trouble during their first experience.

So, did I mention that I will release detailed experiences so that I can be less nervous?

It was funny.

When I was drunk and had a woman about Delphine’s senior in front of me, my rationality and self-control became insignificant. I couldn’t help but feel sick to my stomach.

In particular, I felt sorry for the saintess and Elsie.

The two had a lot of contact with me in many ways. It was to the extent that he often thought of the future of being together with the two of them.

At least life wouldn’t be boring if I lived with the saintess or Elsie-senpai.

In addition, I once drew a picture of my life with other women.

For example, Emma.

If you want to spend the rest of your life in peace, this is the best choice.

Of course, it was just a vain delusion. Marriage was a combination of life and life, and not only the intentions of the parties, but also various conditions had to be met.

However, senior Elsie was an exception.

Elsie-senpai conveyed her feelings to me, and I was also seriously thinking about our relationship.

Therefore, the sin was with me.

Even if the two of us weren’t in a relationship yet, I had an obligation to answer that sincerity.

I comforted Elsie in a low voice.

“It is strange today. Don’t you keep telling me to take off your clothes… Elsie-senpai was a person who could afford to be a bit older.”

It was a skit with some lies.

Elsie-senpai had almost no feeling of being older. At least these days, he seems to have regained his composure, but even so, the wall of perception he has built up over the years is high and tough.

It was not to the extent that the evaluation was overturned in a short period of time.

However, the reason I made up the evaluation like that was purely because I liked senior Elsie more.

Elsie-senpai was strangely stubborn about being older.

That’s something I’ve recently learned too.

And as if to prove my guess, senior Elsie soon cleared her throat and started trying to regain her composure somehow.

“Hmm, hmm… Is that so?”

yes, very much

I forcibly held back a word that came up from my throat and said to senior Elsie.

“It looks a little like that today. And starting tomorrow, I have to go around the middle of the enemy lines, but it’s a big deal if one of the best troops is unstable.”

It was a rare word to lift Elsie-senpai up.

Originally, someone like senior Elsie was weak to such praise. In particular, she was the one who liked being stroked by me from before.

I couldn’t help but feel more excited about my high evaluation.

Originally, there would be no need for me to appease Elsie-senpai, but now it was urgent to obtain the desired information.

Seeing the corners of Elsie’s mouth start to flinch, I decided to strike the decisive blow.

“Also, if Elsie-senpai is anxious, I feel bad.”

It was true.

It was just an embarrassing story, so it was just the truth that I hadn’t revealed before.

Not too long ago, I realized it when Elsie was being bullied.

The fact that my relationship with Elsie-senpai will no longer be the same as before.

Yes, sincerity was sincere.

Once I spit it out, I was quite ashamed. Eventually, I cleared my throat and averted my gaze slightly.

I felt a burning sensation in my ears.

However, as if it was worth it, Elsie couldn’t control her smirk.

She puffed out her chest and proudly declared.

“That, right?! The owner has no choice but to care about me, cancer. No way!”

It is now.

I got to the point with animal intuition.

“Yes, so please tell me.”

Elsie’s body trembled and trembled.

But I didn’t give Elsie-senpai a chance to think.

“Why do you look so uptight? I couldn’t sleep last night.”

“That, that… … .”

Senior Elsie scratched her cheek and tried to look away. Judging from her slightly flushed face, it seemed that it was an embarrassing confession even for her.

I urged Elsie-senpai again.

“Elsie-senpai, I also held back my shame when I said it. So, you should also tell the truth.”

“Ah, uh, that, that… … .”

It was Elsie-senpai who hesitated until the end, but there was no way she could overcome my stubbornness.

Eventually, she declared surrender.

“Ah, really! Strange rumors keep circulating!”

I hmmm, crossed my arms and swallowed my saliva.

‘Strange rumors’ circulate, Ra.

At least it meant that Elsie-senpai was not a witness.

Even so, I still care about it, so I asked Elsie-senpai in return.

“Is that a strange rumor?”

“That, that… Delphine, that girl has her eyes on her master… … .”

It was undeniably true.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to spend the night with me.

That enchanting smile still lingers in my mind. In fact, it was thanks to Delphine that I was able to keep my composure in the face of Elsie’s temptation.

Compared to Delphine-senpai, Elsie-senpai’s seduction was nothing more than child’s play.

After I remained silent, senior Elsie continued to speak in a rather excited tone.

“That girl, even if you don’t have a conscience, you don’t have too much?! You even hit the back of the head during the hunting festival, and now you say you like your master? Whoa, ahahahaha… I’m really dumbfounded!”

Judging by the way she clenched her fists, Elsie seemed very angry.

It was worth it.

Even without that, Elsie-senpai was the car that kept the women around me in check. That’s when I heard that Delphine had an eye on me.

Considering the antagonistic relationship between Elsie and Delphine, her anger was justified.

She even started cheating on me.

“Lord, Master… You’re not going to fall for her, are you? That girl, I don’t know, but I’m sure there aren’t just a couple of guys who have gone through it?! I heard a rumor this morning, and the sound of shouting echoed through the hallway the night before… … !”

It was half true and half false.

First of all, the truth was that Delphine-senpai had yelled at her the night before.

Because I was the one who was lying in bed at the time.

And the lie was the fact that Delphine’s relationships with men were promiscuous.

I checked for virgin blood last night, so this must have been a false rumor. However, the reality of not being able to clear the name was deplorable.

What if I revealed the truth about the night before?

Just in case, I asked senior Elsie.

It was a question disguised as a joke.

“Are you jealous? Are you afraid that I will fall for Delphine’s temptation?”

At the question mixed with my laughter, Elsie-senior shook her hands in surprise.

It was a desperate denial.

She hesitated and gave an answer.

“Oh no! How could I doubt the master, just… … .”

However, that one word was a signal.

A gloomy shadow began to cast over Elsie-senpai’s eyes. The sound that leaked out of the clenched teeth was chilling.

“But, if you really put your hands on the master… Should I be prepared?”

Who, what resolution.

I managed to suppress the questions that soared at once. Instead, all that came out of my mouth was an awkward laugh.

“Aha, hahahahaha… I see, yes.”

Elsie-senior smiled brightly as she heard my laughter.

It was a smile full of trust, saying that there was no way that could be the case.

That lovely face pierced my chest like an arrowhead.

Before leaving for the last time, senior Elsie left me a meaningful warning.

“And indeed… Watch out for that wet bitch.”

It was a way of speaking that had returned to the way it was.

The insulting title of ‘wet bitch’ was enough to even evoke a chill. It was a very rude word, but as soon as I heard it, I couldn’t help but think of someone.

It was a ‘saint’.

I tilted my head at the name that appeared out of nowhere.

“Why a saintess?”

“I made a bet.”

It was a somewhat unpleasant confession.

Before I could even ask the details of the bet, senior Elsie waved her hand and left the tent. Still, it was nice to see a smiling face at the end.

Elsie-senpai looked better with a smile like that.

So, I will make you smile in the future.

Her relationship with Delphine should never have been exposed. It was less than Seria, but it was the same that Elsie-senpai belonged to a dangerous person.

I still remembered senior Elsie who brought a cleaver from the Percus Mansion.

If so, one question remains.

Who was the woman who witnessed the night between me and Delphine?

Now that senior Elsie was eliminated from the list of candidates, only two remained.

A saint or princess.

Except Emma was just amazed at how luxurious the bedroom was.

However, it was ambiguous for me to be explicit. The more likely it was, the more likely the witnesses would try to hide the truth.

If he had intended to reveal that fact to me in the first place, he would have come a long time ago.

I felt like I needed the help of an expert.

I pulled out a small note from my pocket.

It was a reply to a letter sent to the academy not too long ago. The words written in it were very short.

‘I’ll see you soon.’

Yurdina’s information network was unreliable, and everyone had to be suspicious to find out the traitor.

I didn’t have a choice.

I have no choice but to call my own.

And while he was seeking cooperation, there would be no problem even if he added a small request.

I checked my armament to prepare for tomorrow.

From the next day, they were planning to enter the coniferous forest immediately.

So, you’d better go to bed early today. I was worried about Emma and the princess, but since it was the first day for both of them, they probably wanted to spend time doing personal maintenance.

Yeah, I had no plans to meet anyone now.

If the saintess hadn’t visited me that night.

“Ian…”

Crying, the woman buried her face in my chest as if staggering.

“I-I’m sick of it?!”

It’s something I’ve heard before.

While harboring such sentiments, I guessed the identity of the scent tickling the tip of my nose.

It smelled like alcohol.

It seemed that the saintess had also suffered mentally.

“Why, why did you leave me… Ugh, why did you do that!”

I silently patted the saintess on the back.

Then I thought.

Why is this woman doing this again?

Of course, it was a question that would disappear soon after.

I really liked the feeling of the saintess’ ‘sacred power bag’ pressing down on my upper body.

It seemed that there was one more woman to appease.
