Chapter 411: Hero´s qualities
I do remember sucking, squeezing, nipple rolling and stroking her tits before I fell asleep, but by the time morning came, Neia was more settled into burying her face in my chest.
“Nu……n”
“……So cute”
The fact that Neia clung to me unconsciously with her hands wrapped around my sides like a lapdog was very comforting. At the same time, the sleeping Neia is so sweet, or rather spoiled……anyway, her usual somewhat stoic side is just a mask. ……Well, that’s right. Neia herself, who had the appearance of being a hero, had no reason to dislike other people. In fact, a 「Hero」 based on such a spirit would have had a much easier time as an executioner and a repulsor of foreign enemies. A girl who yearns for a kind and warm 「Hero」, who protects others, proudly follows in her footsteps despite physical and mental wounds and tries to be as faithful as possible to her ideals while fighting against reality. That is why the flash sword, while exposing her to trials, would also wish her to be happy, even though she is out of the long history of heroism.
“…………”
While patting Neia’s head, Iwait for her drowsiness to gradually awaken. ……After a while, Neia also woke up.
“……Ah”
She looked up at my face with blank eyes and when she confirmed that I was continuing to caress her with a calm expression……huhu, she smiled happily and almost fell asleep again.
“Wake up!”
『!?』
I suddenly heard a voice from inside the room. And it was my voice.
“Wh……What’s going on?”
“E, Eh, Eeh!?”
Both Neia and I jumped up in surprise and looked around. The candles had burned out and of course the windows were not open (only the baron’s mansion has glass windows, so ours was naturally a wooden door). As it turns out, there is no one in the room. The only things in the room were the clothes we had both taken off yesterday and the flash sword.
“……Neia. Quickly, activate the audio barrier”
“E, Eeh?”
My voice echoed again, but this time it was from the flash sword. I mean, why would it do that?
“Do I have to say it again”
“Wa, Wait, wait a minute. ────!”
Neia casts a small spell to create a voice illusion barrier. After taking a breather, she puts both hands on the bed and leaned forward to stare at the flash sword.
“Why do you speak so carelessly? A dragon or something might be able to hear you. Besides, imitating Smithson-san’s voice is in bad taste”
“I vocalized it because it’s Andy Smithson’s voice. ……Even so, since when did you oversleep?”
“I, It’s not the time to oversleep!”
“The sun should be up by now. And since you’re just being carried around by him, there’s nothing wrong with that”
“Th, Then, why?”
“What, I’m just pointing it out. If you want to go back to sleep now, that’s fine. Go on.
“……Do you think I can continue?”
Neia crawls off the bed with a sleigh while saying a little frustrated.
“Are you going to ignore Andy Smithson and get off on your own? You went to bed to do what he wanted”
“……Th, That……”
Neia hesitated a little and climbed back into bed.
“……Umm, anything……to do?”
“No, there’s nothing to do in such a hurry. You can get dressed”
I forgot to mention that we were naked the whole time. Neia’s buttocks are really cute when she’s leaning over and getting angry and crawling around and actually she’s reacting a little bit, but right now I’m in a loving fatherly mood so I won’t do anything more than that.
“Are you going to do it?”
“……Or rather, I’ll bring Jeanne and we will have breakfast soon”
I don’t think I’ll be blamed for having sex, but if I want to proceed smoothly, it’s better to get dressed.
“I don’t think he was satisfied with holding Neia once”
“I’m satisfied. I have no intention of letting Neia go”
“That’s alright”
“What the hell kind of deal are you two doing……?”
Neia sighs as she gets dressed.
“Did you sleep well?”
I picked up some clothes and stroked Neia’s head again and she nodded slightly.
“……After a long time, I had a happy dream……I feel like I saw it”
“Is it the relaxing effect of playing with your tits?”
“I don’t think so”
Neia swells a little at me making fun of her. ……At that point, the door opened with a thud, and Laila and Jeanne rushed in.
“Andy! ……What, are you okay?”
“Okay?”
Jeanne sighs as she turns her head.
“I’ve been banging on the door many times since a while ago, but no one reacts. Laila said that there was no evidence that someone had gone outside, so I thought something had happened”
“I, I was just having a little private conversation with Neia”
“I don’t think you’re sneaking around too much. I’ve heard that you have a lot of secrets because your sister is a high-ranking person from another country, but depending on where you are, Andy is already a living god. You’re being targeted by someone. It’s not strange at all”
“At least Neia doesn’t have that kind of reason. No matter how she falls”
Even if she said that, Jeanne wouldn’t really understand.
“Hoho. Well, I’m glad you’re alright”
“I’m a lot more confident than Laila thinks I am about my own survival”
“Ho. I know that. It seems like you’ve slipped through the lines of death many times before, just beyond my reach. As far as I’m concerned, it’s frustrating”
In her words, I sense a little bit of frustration that even though she is the strongest dragon, she is always too late for me in my pinch,l and a faint thorn in her side that blames me for running off into the dead, leaving Laila as an outcast. I felt deeply sorry for her, but I knew I couldn’t just blurt out about the flash sword so I had no choice but to let it slide.
“Well, then, let’s have breakfast. Today we’re having potato and dried meat soup and freshly baked fluffy bread”
“Oh”
“I, Is there one for me too?”
“Hehe, you’re a greedy little girl, aren’t you? Don’t worry, we’ve brought enough for Andy to eat three servings. If there’s any left over, older sister Laila and Maia will eat it”
“It’s kind of a terrible thing that the dragons are in charge of leftover food……”
Jeanne puts the pan on her kitchen table. It’s a great story that Jeanne, who is the height of a child, brought a pot full of contents, but she is like Laila, who is next to her, taking out a basket of bread from the air.
“It was baked by the elves of the cherry blossom clan at the baron’s mansion. It’s not often that you see them made this soft and fluffy. I thought they were candy”
“Hee”
“It smells good……!”
“The soup here is good, too. I’m looking forward to it”
Jeanne was humming a tune as she prepared the soup and I, Neia, and Laila waited for it to be ready. When I think about it, I think it’s a little pathetic that there are three adults, but I think again that Jeanne is also an adult in terms of age. ……Ah, but in terms of dwarves, isn’t that an adult?
“That’s right, what about Dianne?”
“She’s been working on her papers since dawn. She was saying something about how she had to make sure that the next time she went to Celesta, she would have the proper reports and requests to send around……”
“She’s been busy……well, it can’t be helped with a schedule that includes dragons”
I think Dianne is working too hard on her behind-the-scenes work. It’s also a story that if Dianne doesn’t do it, who will do it.
“No matter what you do, we can’t talk about your surroundings until the four Renfangas girls and Apple come, so I told you to take your time and enjoy yourself until they come”
“……I was told to have fun”
I guess that’s what it means in a straight ball, but it’s a bit too distracting.
“Occasionally, Christie and Irina will also be affectionate. They both have a lot of detailed work to do and they want Andy to give them a little extra motivation”
“I remember that new red cat, Marone. How are you doing with her? Cat beasts are more temperamental than long-lived elves. If she bends over backwards, it may take some time to quiet him down.
“I don’t know how you guys collect information about other people’s good moods……”
“When you’re around Andy, it’s best to be on good terms”
“Hoho. Left”
The slaves research the moods of other slaves and encourage me to adjust them. It seems like a perverted composition, but under the easy-to-understand common language of pleasure, the structure in which girls of many races and many roles care for each other may be a kind of ideal. Seeing that as something strange, Neia looked at Laila and Jeanne with interest while chewing on the fluffy bread.
“Ho. Do I look fluent?”
“Ah……that”
“Andy always had a lot of energy. Andy’s woman doesn’t work well unless she has that kind of feeling. ……On the contrary, if you get along well, there’s no such thing as a reassuring gathering”
“I can’t deny that there is a side to this that is connected with the owner’s perverted heart. That is no longer the case. He provides a place for all-out women to exert their power, or connects the path and gives more functions to a group of mere mistresses, while even us dragons can use it naturally. ……The fact that it naturally leads to this shape without any calculation is the truly terrifying part of owner”
“Not at all”
“……Eh, no, it doesn’t really matter……it’s true that when I try to do something, they seem to be strangely enthusiastic and help me, or rather, I thought everyone would work well”
“……Hero”
“?”
“……Hero, its like Smithson-san”
Neia muttered and with a somewhat naive smile, said so.
“A long time ago, in the six northern countries, the title of hero wasn’t just a role, but a true meaning……when it was a honorary title”
“Is that so……?”
“It is the power of a hero that makes people stop and think about starting something right. Those who should be called heroes were those with such a special deed……yes, I have read about it in literature. ……To me, I understood that it was to be a hope for people through 『Strength』……and to show the dependability that makes people feel safe and secure in their lives. Smithson-san is completely different. It’s a whole other way of being and it seems to be there”
“……Unexpectedly, I don’t know if that’s what it is. At least by the standards of dragons, the owner who doesn’t rely on excessive power is more precious”
“Do, Don’t lift it in a strange way. It’s thanks to Diane-san and you doing your best”
“That’s possible because you’re foolish enough to see what’s ahead”
“?”
I don’t understand. What does she mean by……foolish enough to see what’s ahead.
“Jeanne, do you know what Laila is talking about?”
“I have no idea. Well, it’s okay. It’s not Andy’s fault, I’m sure”
“Y, Yes……is that right?”
“Kukuku. ……That’s fine. You just need to be straight”
Laila smiles meaningfully as she neatly empties her soup plate and offers it to Jeanne.
“…….Ahead”
Neia murmured quietly. I can’t tell what she’s thinking from the eyes that stop her hands and stare at the soup.
