51 – Date? – 4
I thought so, but there was just a better way.
“You have finally realized the truth, my dear.”
“What are you treating me like a master monk?”
“But it’s an undeniable fact. It’s undeniable that it’s far better to stay like this than to get those trivial trifles between you and me. Now that I’ve finally realized this truth, I deserve to give it my praise. “
“Shouldn’t you rather have said it from the beginning? Asked me to do this. If I did, I wouldn’t have to shovel while worrying about where to go.”
“You really are a man who doesn’t know romance. How could you let a woman say such embarrassing words directly?”
She stroked Serena’s hair a little faster, and the hand stroking Charlotte’s hair also moved at the same speed.
Charlotte made eye contact with me and smiled as if flowers were blooming.
The three of us were now on a bench in the central square. I was sitting in the middle of the long chair, lying on my left thigh with Charlotte on my left thigh and Serena on my right thigh.
My hand is constantly stroking their heads.
It was around noon when we had just left the restaurant, and now the sun is making a red sunset as it slides over to the horizon opposite the place where it came up, so it means that it has been like this for more than three or four hours.
It was fortunate that I wasn’t tired because of my ability to regenerate.
The benches where Serena, Charlotte and I were sitting were full of busy people.
The central square was full of life again, and the street vendors also came back to find their place. It is because of the rumor that Charlotte has returned to the palace.
At first, people doubted the authenticity of it because it was a matter of their own lives, but soon they realized that Charlotte was nowhere to be seen and poured into the streets like a flood.
Of course, even the adventurers who had been trembling outside all day were mixed in.
Since it was already around noon, they couldn’t come out of the streets at all, and as the adventurers’ time to complete their requests overlapped, more people were wandering around the central square than in the morning.
With a bit of exaggeration, there was no room for people to set foot.
Despite the presence of street vendors everywhere, there was no noise or smell of food.
It was because Charlotte had isolated the entire space around this bench through magic.
As if that wasn’t enough, they even put a high-level perception-damping magic around here, so the 5 meters around the benches where Serena, Charlotte, and I were sitting were clean.
People seemed to have accepted that the wall was built in this space, and naturally walked around.
At first, Charlotte tried to isolate the entire central plaza, but I said that wasn’t enough.
“You Serena? Are you satisfied with this too?”
“Anything your lord does is fine. It’s my pleasure to follow your lord’s orders.”
“Is there anything else you would like me to do?”
“that…….”
Serena was speechless and hesitated. He smiled at him and tousled his hair here and there.
Serena was still Serena as usual. If Charlotte had a thoroughly planned personality, Serena was the type who was usually perfect, but quietly stepped forward when I gave her a chance.
If I don’t show a gap, Serena will continue to kill her own desires and follow me.
Now that you’ve asked if there’s anything you want me to do more for you, you must be hesitant and confused between your desires and your beliefs.
She carefully brushed the bangs that covered Serena’s eyebrows to the side and examined the blue jewel-like eyes.
Her eyes were so clear and blue that I wondered if my reflection would reflect me like a mirror. Serena’s face blushed as the composition made it look like eye-to-eye contact.
As I was observing Serena’s eyes, who tried not to turn her head away from embarrassment, but this time, a reaction came from Charlotte’s side.
“My dear, are you not asking me?”
Charlotte tugged at my collar. It’s all just acting anyway, but her cheeks were slightly swollen as if she was trying to express her pout.
He responded by poking his swollen cheeks with his fingers to expel the air inside.
“It’s obvious anyway, so ask why. How much time I spent with you, can’t you anticipate that?”
“Then I will give you the honor of telling you what you think I will ask for. If you are wrong, I will salute you myself.”
“He must have asked for more than a haircut.”
“Tell me more specifically. It’s obvious that you’re trying to get over it in a general way.”
“Do I have to say that with my own mouth?”
He brought his hand to Serena’s cheek and nudged her soft skin. It was not an act of any significance.
He just stabbed Charlotte on the cheek, so he thought he should do the same to Serena.
I can’t treat everyone equally, but at least these actions should be similar.
Serena hardly speaks, so it’s an unavoidable situation, but she’s already talking mostly to Charlotte.
“Shouldn’t you listen to the answer and decide whether you’re a braggart or a loyalist who can truly understand my heart?”
“What if I’m a big-mouthed braggart?”
“If so, you should personally give me a seat next to me and correct it for the rest of my life until the bluff is corrected.”
“Then what if I was a loyalist who could truly read your heart?”
“I will personally give you a seat next to me and keep you by my side as a loyalist for the rest of my life.”
“Isn’t there much difference between the two options?”
I knew it would be like this.
“As a person who becomes the king of a country, I’m trying to refrain from losing trades as much as possible, so you’re saying that you don’t know the big meaning.”
“Because I’m not the king.”
“If you want, I’ll let you do it. I can make this country and a woman named Charlotte de Gargantua yours.”
“Okay. I’m far from a position like that.”
“It’s unfortunate.”
Despite her words, Charlotte’s expression did not look regretful at all. He was lying on my back resting on my thighs and calmly accepting my hand caressing my hair.
It was a conversation that had been repeated non-stop for over a hundred years, and it was rejected every time.
Charlotte would not be talking empty words. If I really want to sit on the throne, I will give it to me without hesitation and take the seat next to mine.
Charlotte was always sincere. It’s just a problem because that sincerity extends in a different direction.
He lifted his head and leaned his neck over the bench back. I saw a red orb disappearing on the horizon.
The sky was tinted orange. All of my original plans must have been canceled anyway. As I was staring blankly at the sky, the weight on my thighs suddenly became lighter.
“My lord.”
“My dear.”
How the timing overlaps perfectly. When Serena’s and Charlotte’s voices echoed simultaneously, she straightened her neck again.
The two of them, who were about to growl, put their foreheads on each other’s foreheads, putting them back on their thighs, putting their fingers into Charlotte’s mouth to make them quiet.
Along with the sound of splashing water, I felt a tingling sensation in my fingers. I tried to ignore Charlotte, who moved her tongue and made me use my index and middle fingers to trample all over her mouth.
“What’s wrong, Serena?”
“……It’s nothing. I’m sorry, lord.”
“It doesn’t seem like anything. What were you trying to say?”
It was very rare for Serena to talk to me first when nothing special happened. There are probably two possibilities.
Either that very rare thing actually happened, or something that was so rare that Serena talked to her first happened around here.
Serena was still contemplating whether she should say this or not. I wondered what the hell was going on, but I decided to wait for now.
If it’s something I don’t want to say, I’ll say it, and if it’s something I need to say, I’ll open my mouth.
Serena’s hesitation continued for a long time.
She seemed to be thinking too deeply, so just before I stepped out and encouraged her that it was okay not to do that, Serena made eye contact with me as if she had made up her mind. It seemed that he had finally made up his mind.
“My lord.”
“Are you ready to tell me now?”
“That’s right. By any chance… do you have any intention of moving to another place?”
“What?”
It was an unexpected word. I really never imagined that Serena would come up with the idea of moving somewhere else first.

Just as I was staring blankly at the completely unexpected words, Charlotte stopped licking her tongue and pulled my fingers, which were sticky with saliva, out of her mouth.
Charlotte stood up. The hair that had been tickling my thighs was gathered behind my back, and my breasts, which had spread softly to the sides, asserted themselves vigorously under the uniform again.
Serena stood up after Charlotte. Both Serena and Charlotte had hardened faces.
The mood of the two changed. It was an unbelievable change from the moment before when he felt my hand stroking his hair and smiled with satisfaction. Their eyes were fixed in one direction.
“Looks like I’m not the only one who sensed it. To notice that bitch without even magic, is it true that she’s a beast and is faithful to her instincts?”
“This incompetent bitch who can’t do anything without magic is alive with only her mouth. Wasn’t that mouth also moved by magic?”
Serena and Charlotte stood up from the bench. Serena reached for the World Eater around her waist, and Charlotte drew a huge magic circle on the floor.
At the same time as the magic circle glowed blue, the movements of the people who filled the central plaza stopped for a moment.
It was a movement I had never seen before. The magic that scattered all the people gathered here when Charlotte first came here. It was clear that he had reactivated the magic.
“Why are you both like that?”
Before my bewilderment was over, the central plaza was empty once again. Through the road connected to the plaza, people escaped as if the ebb tide.
It didn’t matter because the sound hadn’t been heard from the beginning, but when even the crowds disappeared completely, only bleakness lingered.
“It’s that year.”
“That bitch, who… is it Christine?”
It was obvious who would make Serena and Charlotte so vigilant at the same time, and who would make Charlotte say something like that. Serena gave a small affirmation to my words.
“Yes, lord. The place where you can’t feel the flow of mana is getting closer to you at a very fast pace.”
“Judging from the speed at which the range where detection magic does not work is narrowed, it seems that we will arrive here within one minute.”
“Really Christine? Why is she here?”
It was only two days ago that he came to me saying he had offered a thousand sacrifices. But you’ve already given a thousand people back?
‘Could it be that they slaughtered other religious groups like before?’
That was the only possibility that immediately came to mind.
There’s no way he could have gathered a thousand criminals in two days, and even if that was possible, considering Christine’s personality, it would take at least a week just to pray.
There’s no way Christine skipped over the sacrificial prayer.
“Isn’t that something we should find out from now on?”
Charlotte said that, and Serena finally pulled out her sword. The World Eater made an ominous sound as it brushed against the scabbard.
When Charlotte lifted the space containment, a cool breeze blew past us.
A black figure walked from the other side of the road.
