Volume 2 Chapter 39 Results Of Training
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The morning of the last day of the expedition has arrived.
Last night, whether it was thanks to the secret technique from the succubus I received, I’m not sure, but I woke up feeling great.
”Yawn~ Ahh, what a nice morning”
I got up, cracking my neck and loosening my shoulders.
It seems Milly and Beatrice are already awake.
*Knock, knock*
”Sir Kent, are you awake?”
It was Annabella knocking on the carriage door.
”Ah, yes, I’m awake”
I prepared myself to sexually harass Annabella, who would be coming in.
* * *
”Well then, breakfast is ready, so please come quickly”
After conveying just that, it seems Annabella left without entering the carriage.
Huh?
I had even prepared to ambush Annabella, but why isn’t she coming in?
Normally, she always comes in and helps me change, but today she just called out to me. I wonder what’s going on?
Could it be that she was caught by Milly yesterday regarding the girl I hired from Giuliana?
Maybe Annabella heard about the girl that Milly found out about yesterday…
I haven’t laid a hand on those girls yet, so it’s still an attempted crime, so I wonder if I’ll be forgiven if I turn myself in.
My thoughts were filled with the fact that Annabella had found out that I had secretly adopted a girl of her choice.
I quickly changed my clothes and ran out of the carriage to look for Annabella.
* * *
I jumped out of the carriage and found Annabella preparing breakfast near the campfire.
Fortunately, there was no one around at the moment.
I quietly approached Annabella, put both hands in front of her and bowed.
”I’m sorry! I was just tempted by those girls. And besides, I haven’t even started yet, so it’s still an attempted plot, right?”
Suddenly appearing with my hand outstretched and bowing my head in front of her, Annabella looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked.
”Sir Kent, which girls are you talking about? And what do you mean by ‘attempted’?”
Ah, that?
So she didn’t realize…
”Wait! No way, did you make another new one a Carrier? Who is it?”
I, I messed up!
I feel like I’ve just dug my own grave!
This is something I have to cover up.
”N-no, that’s not it. Annabella is just so beautiful that it seems my head went a little crazy. Your beauty really is a sin. Hahaha!”
”Sir Kent!”
Annabella is staring intently at me.
I’m really weak against a girl’s gaze; even when I have nothing to hide, I get all flustered, but with something shady like this, I can’t handle it.
I confessed to Annabella.
”Ms. Annabella, I’m sorry. I was trying to make Giuliana’s secretary’s girl and the healer’s girl a Carrier. I’m reflecting on my actions, so please forgive me. It was just a moment of weakness.”
”Ah, I see, it was about those 2. I thought maybe you had made another girl a Carrier. Don’t scare me like that; I’ve already conducted background checks and health management on those 2, so they can be on duty anytime. They weren’t made Carriers yet?”
I thought I had asked Giuliana to keep it a secret, but somehow Milly found out, and even before I could take action with Annabella, they had already conducted background checks and health management.
How should I interpret this situation?
I wonder if Milly and her friends have an intelligence organization for me.
They know too much about my actions.
”Well, if Sir Kent saw the documents, went to Ms. Giuliana right away, and then hired her as her secretary and clerk, that would be suspicious. By the way, Sir Kent was checking out her face from afar, wasn’t he?”
Aaaaah!
I was seen!
I answered with as much bravado as I could.
”I don’t remember doing that… I don’t remember doing that”
I was using the same old politician’s rhetoric.
”Is that really true?”
Once again, Annabella is staring intently.
No, I can’t take it anymore.
I was begging on my knees to Annabella.
”I-I was checking! Ms. Annabella, please forgive me here. I’m so embarrassed I could die!”
”I see. Sir Kent, please stand up. From now on, tell me yourself which girl you want to make a Carrier.”
When I looked up, Annabella was smiling at me sweetly.
Ms. Annabella, I really can’t resist anymore.
But just so you know, I want to take charge when it comes to the sexy times.
I felt an inexplicable rivalry against Annabella.
However, if she knew about that incident, why didn’t she help me change as usual today?
I decided to confront Annabella with my question.
”So, Annabella, why didn’t you help me change in the carriage today? You’ve always helped me at the mansion and even the day before yesterday.”
”Ah, I see. I thought Lady Miriallia was inside, so I refrained from coming in… Was she not there?”
She just didn’t come in to be considerate of Milly.
Seriously?!
So that was it… I read too much into it.
”Ah, ah, Milly wasn’t there!”
Suddenly, a voice was heard coming from the hot springs further in.
”Kent, are you there? Did you call me?”
On the other side of the steam, Milly was bathing with Beatrice.
”Oh, no. You were there. I looked for you. Hahaha… haa~”
My body should have woken up feeling fine, but it had suffered non-physical damage that morning and was exhausted.
* * *
I was exhausted from the morning, but after breakfast I started preparing for the final day of hunting.
Today’s hunting target is a plant-type monster called the Wonderwood.
This monster appears when a 100-year-old tree accumulates magic elements.
The magic wood that drops from it is the material used to make long and short staves.
Compared to yesterday’s rock boar, this seems to be a weaker, low-lever monster, but the Nigith Great Forest we’re passing through on our way back from Abyss Vena to Mylon Mountain is filled with ancient trees over a hundred years old.
So, there’s a possibility we might encounter them in a group if we’re not careful.
This time, the wandering wood (Wonderwood) is just as its name suggests, a tree, so it seems that Lina’s specialty fire-type magic works really well on them.
If we encounter a group, let’s count on Lina’s fireball.
”Alright, today’s formation will have Aurelia, Ines, Feria, and Annabella as the vanguard, while Lina, Milly, me, and Talia will be in the rearguard. The carriage group can move freely, but make sure to pay attention to the signals.”
We got onto the carriage and headed towards the Nigith Great Forest along the way home.
After being jostled for about an hour in the carriage, the scenery changed from the rocky foothills of Mylon Mountain, and the view outside the window was divided into 2 colors: the blue of the sky and the green of the trees on the ground.
Before long, we arrived at the entrance to the Nigith Great Forest, and after checking our equipment, we started to walk into the deep forest where the trees were dense and it was dark even during the day, to hunt.
* * *
”By the way, do wandering woods (Wonderwoods) move?”
While exploring the forest looking for wandering wood (Wonderwood), I got curious and asked.
It was Milly who answered me.
”They do move. They walk around to capture living beings with their vines and branches for nutrients. So, if you get caught, it’s bad news. Speaking of which, it looks like one is coming towards us.”
When I looked in the direction Milly was pointing, a giant tree was skillfully moving its roots while approaching us.
As I got closer, I squinted and saw a lump in the middle of the trunk that looked like the face of an old man, with a naughty grin on its face.
*Thud, thud, thud*
”Everyone, let’s stay alert. Let’s go hunting.”
The Vanguard members head towards the Wonderwood, each with their weapons drawn.
”I was careless yesterday, but I think I’ll be a little different today.”
Feria’s bruise has completely healed thanks to Lana’s Mid-heal, so our Maid Warrior is full of energy and charged in again.
And then, she was beautifully caught up in the wandering tree’s vines.
Feria, it’s definitely different from yesterday… it is different, but…
”Kyaaa, this monster is so lewd! Ah, it’s wrapping around my chest, ahh, I can’t spread my legs!”
Caught in the wandering tree’s vines, Feria was lifted into the air, forced into an embarrassing pose with her legs widely spread.
However, since she had banned striped panties since yesterday, she was wearing her usual tights.
So, the embarrassment is probably somewhat restrained.
”Feria! Are you okay!”
