Chapter 158 – [Hero] How to Manage Money
“It’s all lies. It must be so.”
Uni, who entered the house first, said that without hesitation.
“Excitement? Heh, that’s nonsense. Right, Eric?”
“Uh? Ah yes…”
To be honest, it’s a bit of a strange thing to say.
Are you really full of energy?
So far, I’ve been with Yuni a lot, but I didn’t feel like I was getting stronger.
Clearly, Sarah had either misunderstood something or was deliberately lying.
… Otherwise I’d tell her that she wasn’t thrilled.
“Eric… There’s no way you’re not excited about me. Yes?”
“Huh…”
However, I could see a bit of anxiety on Yuni’s face, who insisted that it was a lie.
***
Our next destination was Aseila.
The small village I visited as soon as I got out of Aseila the other day, I didn’t bother to stop by this time.
There was a black dog commotion, but it ended well, and there’s no need to rush it like last time.
“Come to think of it, what happened to Aseila?”
“So, since you wrote and sent the letter at that time, you must have done something about it, right?”
Seria sneaked in on our trivial chatter.
“No, it will stay the same.”
“… Why?”
Seria laughed as if it were natural.
“You can’t make such an important decision overnight. Considering the time for letters to come and go, dispatching an investigation team, receiving approval, and gathering people… It will probably be the same.”
“Oh…”
Does that mean it still remains such a strange city?
If it’s the same, I don’t want to go back.
“Instead, get supplies from other cities…”
“You guys manage the security now, so take care of it. I do not know.”
Seria said that and she fell back.
Yeah this was the problem
It takes too long to go all the way to the Devil Castle all at once.
Of course, if we continued on like this, we would run out of food in less than halfway.
Therefore, it is necessary to stop at a town or city along the way to replenish essentials, and it is now our role as guards to manage this.
Previously, Seria was in charge, but suddenly we were in charge, so it was very frustrating.
In fact, going back the way I came in the past is because it is a stable route that Seria designed and actually verified.
If I had fallen into a different path, would I have been able to travel safely like this?
Managing expenses was more difficult than expected.
“I somehow…”
“No, for us… I think it’s a bit difficult.”
Even so, Yuni tried to solve it with her own efforts, but no matter how much I thought about it, we are not suited for this kind of thing.
As expected, it is best for Seria to take care of this.
Or we learn directly from her.
“I can’t leave it to Seria. How can we trust her now?”
“But Seria is also our colleague…”
“Are you a bitch who is slobbering with other men?”
For a moment, I was taken aback by her frank expression.
It’s not exactly wrong, but it’s a bit…
“Ah… I’m sorry, Eric. That was not my intention.”
“Oh, no, you can.”
Seeing my expression, she apologized quickly, but the words she said were already echoing in my head.
Fucking another man…
“As expected, I will ask Seria. But since we’re members of the same party, I’m sure we can help.”
“Then me too…”
“UNI…”
“… Okay.”
Yuni had something he just said, so he hesitantly backed off.
I understand that she’s mad at Seria or Arin, but it was a little too much.
What would be the atmosphere at the party if I said that in front of them?
In a situation like this, where we are already close together, if we make even one slip of the tongue, the party will be disbanded at that moment.
That much should be blocked.
I’m not too keen on it either, but it’s inevitable for the smooth operation of the party.
I decided to visit her tonight and ask about her security operations.
Seria replied that she knew, but seeing that she hadn’t responded even when it was dinnertime made her uneasy.
You remember that right?
“Look at this, I’m sure you don’t even care.”
“I’ll go back and talk.”
“Eric, just…”
Asking for forgiveness from Yuni, who keeps trying to stop me, I approached them.
“Hey… Side, squat…”
Seria was in the middle of passing the meal from her mouth to her mouth.
Arin kept looking for an opportunity to intervene, holding a spoon in her mouth and observing the two of them.
“Cheup… Tsk… Huh? Eric, what’s up?”
“Ah… That, that…”
I was prepared, but seeing this kind of scenery right in front of me made me feel a little uncomfortable.
I held her heart and spoke her words to her.
“Regarding the security that I talked about earlier in the morning…”
“Huh? Oh, that? … Ah, Arin! What are you doing!”
She widened her eyes as if she had forgotten, but in the meantime, she got angry at Arin for stealing Jeren’s lips.
“Hey, hey, Seria…”
“It’s great… It’s kind of silly… Okay, I’ll tell you later.”
“When later?”
“Eat! I’ll let you know before I wake up, okay? Arin, get out of the way… !”
She replied casually, as if telling her to go back quickly, and then started bickering with Arin.
My heart ached for some reason as I kept looking at it, so I returned to my seat.
“… So why did you have to go there?”
Uni looked at me with her sad eyes and beckoned to me.
As she told me, I approached her Uni and held her in her arms.
“I struggled though. Really hard… Huh?”
She hugged me tightly and rubbed her cheek against mine, then paused for a moment.
“Eric…”
“Uh?”
Her gaze went between my legs.
Following Yuni, my vision went down her legs, but to my dismay, my cock was erect.
“Oh, no, this… !”
“Did you already want to do it with me?”
Uni laughed and said that, but she probably misunderstood that she had stopped thinking about herself.
I thought about it for a while, but nodded my head with a slightly bad thought that I wouldn’t know if I didn’t talk anyway.
“Okay. Then, shall we eat for a while?”
“Ah…”
I decided to go to Seria after it was over.
Will it be okay for a while though?
I nodded with a blushing face, and finally, after eating, I was released from Yuni an hour later.
Seria will be waiting for you, right?
I’ll have to visit soon.
“Let’s just ask tomorrow, okay? Let’s go now…”
“If we ask as soon as possible, we can do something. I understand, but…”
“But now…”
Uni held my arm inside the tent and kept trying to dissuade me.
But wouldn’t it be better to learn these things as soon as possible?
Even if I were to ask tomorrow anyway, it was obvious that I would just waste time again.
“… I mean, that’s what he’s doing.”
“Ah…”
I understood why she did it because of her words that Uni spit out.
“Well, then I’ll just say I’ll put it off until tomorrow and come back.”
“Uh? It doesn’t have to be…”
“You might be waiting because of me.”
Uni said no, but since the schedule was pushed back because of me, I should have said that part clearly.
I was able to get out of the tent only after telling Uni several times that it was okay.
It was still a bit early for a vigil, so they were doing something inside with the tent tightly closed.
I knew what it was as soon as I got closer.
“… Whoops, ha… ♥ Hee, hee, hee…”
Is this Seria’s voice?
My face quickly turned red.
“… Me, there… !”
“Huh… Suck… Arin, don’t move…”
“Hey…”
In the middle, I can hear Arin’s screaming sound.
What are you doing… ?
“Excuse me! Three, Seria!”
“Hah, ha ha… Master, did you just call me? Yes? Isn’t it?”
After a while, there was a rustling sound, and Seria’s face came out of the tent.
“… It must have been Eric. What’s the matter?”
“I-that’s…”
“Oh, that guard? Come to think of it, I waited but didn’t come?”
I’ve been waiting too
I lowered my head a little sorry.
“Sorry, I was going right away…”
“Huh ♥ Lord, Master, I’m talking to Eric right now… Kyaung♥”
But she didn’t hear my apology.
No, it didn’t seem like he was listening.
She turned her head towards the inside of the tent and began to look embarrassed with her bright red face.
Her hand, which tightly covered the entrance with the tent, trembled unsteadily.
“Haha, hehe… ♥ That, so… What are you talking about? … Wow! Don’t worry about this, it’s nothing.”
“That, that…”
Come on, can’t you?
“Huh… Ha ha, ha ha… ♥ It’s okay, ah, it’s nothing… Uh huh…”
“That, that, that… Tomorrow… I’ll ask again tomorrow…”
Even though I stuttered, somehow I managed to deliver my message.
“Oh yeah… ? Tomorrow? OK… Wow… ♥ Why, why… ?”
Nodding her head, she suddenly let out her scream and brought her ear closer to the back of the tent.
“Ah… Yes yes… Whoops, okay.”
She heard what was being said and suddenly she chuckled and grinned at me.
“Eric, can you come in for a second? I’ll let you know inside.”
“… Uh?”
