Chapter 356 – Territory
After hearing the general circumstances from me, Sylphy thought for a moment and then said.
“I understand. We’ll talk about it, and you can go look in on Ellen and the others.”
“No, I’ll go with you.”
“Kosuke, this is our business. If Kosuke interferes, things will get even more complicated. So, leave it to us.”
Sylphy stared into my eyes with a strong will, and I looked into hers. We looked at each other for a while, and she seemed not to back down at all.
“Okay, I understand. I’ll trust you as I always have, and I’ll leave everything to you. That’s the best I can do, right?”
“Yes, that’s the best.”
“I understand.”
I nodded back at Sylphy, who nodded at me, and I held out my hands to Sylphy. I then approached Sylphy, who was still sitting at her desk and embraced her.
“W-what is it?”
“I don’t have any particular reason. I’m always giving you a hard time.”
“…I’m the one who’s giving you a hard time.”
After saying that, I let out a sigh, and Sylphy wrapped her hands around my back and hugged me.
The words were short, but they contained so many meanings that they could not be expressed in a single word. Having relationships with many women while saying that it is the best, letting me have relationships with many women, entrusting me with the coordination, and letting me have partners based on the coordination of these relationships. Furthermore, Sylphy is using me considering the practical and political aspects. This is not only to protect me but also to unite the higher-ups of the Merinard Kingdom firmly.
“It’s getting heated, isn’t it? Kosuke-san, how about me?”
“Yes, yes, I also give Melty a hard time.”
I also hugged Melty, whose lips were pouting at the office desk near Sylphy, and patted her on the back.
“It’s kind of neglectful, isn’t it? But that’s okay.”
Despite her complaints, Melty was all smiles. It seems that she was satisfied.
“Anyway, as Sylphy said, please leave the girl-related matters to us. We won’t do anything bad to them.”
“I understand. That’s the best, right?”
“That’s the best. I assure you.”
“I understand. I believe you.”
“Yes, it’s good to be honest. Then, please go and check on Ellen-san and the others. Oh, I recommend you to sleep in your bedroom, Kosuke-san. Babies are supposed to cry, after all.”
“Please give my regards to Ellen. I’ll also go check on her one more time before I go to bed.”
“Okay, I’ll let her know.”
Sylphy and Melty smiled at me as I walked out of the office. The sun has long since set, but the two still intend to get the job done. Ellen and Amalie had given birth, and they both came to see how things were going, so it seemed that they hadn’t finished their quota for today. It is impossible for me to help them with something I don’t even know what it is, so I decided to go check on Ellen and Amalie as Melty told me to do.
When I walked a little to Ellen’s room, the Sister who was waiting in front of the room performed a miracle of purification on me. Apparently, it is written in the Adol scriptures that newborn babies and their mothers are vulnerable to the filth of the world, so they must be taught to do so.
Hmm? Well, I may have read something like that when I examined the Adol scriptures before.
Of course, as it is called scripture, it contains the teachings of the Adol religion, but I was surprised to find that it also contains some wisdom for daily life. It might be a good idea to read it again in detail next time.
When I entered the room after having the miracle of purification performed, the two were just holding Elise and Conrad and nursing them. Bertha-san, who is standing beside them, is holding her index finger in front of her lips. Apparently, they were just about to go to bed.
After a long time, I shifted into a sneak mode and swooped in with a command action while bending down to get closer to the bed. As I do so, the three of them look at me with creepy eyes. As usual, my sneak move has a bad reputation!
“…..? What’s up?”
I walked over to Ellen, who was putting Elise to bed, and when she saw my face, she tilted her head in agreement. I reconsidered the idea of lying to Ellen when I was about to tell her that there was nothing going on.
“I received a report about the astronomical observation in Aquawill-san’s room.”
I explained what had happened in Aquawill-san’s room in order. Ellen then turned her head and stared at me.
“You’ve been thriving again since the day the child was born, haven’t you?”
“I’d like to take issue with the word thriving.”
While I was whispering to Ellen, Amalie was smiling happily at me. I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve had this kind of communication with Ellen. Before the birth, it was a bit softer.
“They always seem to be sleeping, don’t they?”
“It’s just good timing. When you’re not around, they cry quite a lot.”
“I see.”
I asked her about it, and she told me that she and Amalie had just finished breastfeeding the babies. Wow, they start drinking from the breast so soon. I mean, it seems like the timing was really good.
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Nothing in particular. You have prepared everything for us, and Bertha and the other sisters are taking care of us. Just showing up like this and caring for us is enough for me.”
“I see.”
It’s true that when the two of them were working hard on the birth of the baby, I talked to everyone around me and made all the baby stuff I could think of, like a baby bathtub made of slime material. I also made a bathing area in a partially remodeled house, and I left two furnaces outside the room.
“Well, I guess this time it’s just that you reap what you sow. I recommend that you be careful from now on.”
“I’m trying to be modest about this. but…”
I murmur to myself as I look at Elise, who is being held in Ellen’s arms. Maybe there are already too many partners, and my senses are going haywire. I don’t know; I just don’t know anything…
“I’m a father now, and I have to be aware of that.”
Elise and Conrad aren’t the only ones. The harpies that were born without my knowledge are also my lovely daughters. There will be more children in the future. Even now, I have too many partners. What will they think when they grow up and have many half-brothers and sisters? And on top of that, their father has more wives? Wouldn’t the children look at me with contempt? Especially from my daughters… Hyiie.
“Maybe it’s too late for that, but I really think I should lay low.”
“I agree. I don’t think it’s going to work, however, even if you decide to do it.”
“Stop it; it’s really going to happen.”
The word of the saint is so prophetic that it would be really unfashionable.
