I burst out laughing without even realizing it.
I had an intimate time with an outsider.
Sounds strange.
Fortunately, I didn't feel like prying eyes, so I shrugged lightly.
"Shall we call him tomorrow morning and have a three-way meeting?"
"That's it. Catch someone who is already going to go."
Kishian's hand, which had been caressing my hair, dug into the slip.
The wet mound of my chest was crushed in his hand.
"I want to get him out as soon as possible. He should be a little noisy."
"It's noisy... Did you get very close to each other in the subjugation zone? Can we chat together?"
"It would be correct to say that it was his one-sided chatter. I've never hung out with him."
I had a rough picture of what the two of them would have looked like.
Perhaps when Rodrick, who was very broad and friendly, would say something to Kishian, he would say "yes." "no," and "I see."
Except when he's with me or when he's supposed to be polite, Kishian didn't talk much.
Even as I imagined it, I couldn't stop his hand caressing my heart.
Then he tried to take off the slip that I had just worn.
I was a little embarrassed to do this before I even lay down on the bed, so I gently pinched the back of his hand.
I tried to lower the slip without noticing, but after one sharp glance, I finally stopped his hand.
I lifted up my half-slip and stood up.
Later, when I went to bed and lay down, he followed me with a quiet gait and lay down next to me.
Then, like before, he brought his naughty hand to my heart.
However, this time, instead of putting his hand into the clothes, he stayed on the clothes.
It seemed that he had compromised.
"By the way, how is that going?"
"You mean Albrecht?"
"Yes, that man."
He said he would leave it up to me to deal with it, but he still seemed curious about the situation.
I answered honestly without concealment.
"It's going well. Now I am preparing what I need."
"Ready?"
"I need something. It will probably take a week to be ready."
"Does that mean you're not going to do anything in the meantime?"
It was a strangely excited voice.
It sounded a little sneering, so I replied after a short silence.
"...It's not like I don't do anything. It's about having time to wait. That's also a hunter's virtue."
'Isn't that what it is?' I was glad he didn't ask.
If he did, I would have been a little annoyed without even realizing it.
Instead, he nodded silently.
"Well, I see. I hope he doesn't aim for my neck again in the meantime."
"Don't worry. I'll be in a hurry."
I didn't want to drag it out too long.
As he said, his life might be taken again, and if he did, I would arouse his suspicions this time.
It would be suspected that I had bought him time.
So, l planned to deal with him as soon as I was ready.
Just as I was making up my mind, Kishian asked in a low voice.
"What are you going to do until then? Don't just wait."
"Except for waiting..."
In fact, there was nothing to do.
He said that waiting was also a virtue of a hunter, but it was just waiting.
In the meantime, I didn't do anything else, I just sat in a daze.
When I couldn't continue, a little laughter came out of his teeth.
Because we were facing each other, a shallow vibration was transmitted.
He was leaning back in a good mood when he suddenly said.
"I'm going to visit Baron Valdek in two days."
Baron Valdek was one of the vassal families under the control of Kishian.
The territory was located southeast of the Grand Duke of Lennon, and it was a small and small area that lived on small-scale agriculture and beekeeping.
Why do you go to such places?
Before I asked, Kishian answered.
"It seems that the land was polluted by the monsters."
Pollution literally meant that the earth, water, or people were stained by the demons of monsters.
Small and Insignificant monsters do not cause pollution.
Those who shed enough magic to dye other things were usually advanced and above.
In other words, it could be said that Barony Valdek had quite a troublesome monster in place.
Kishian also wrinkled his eyes with a serious look.
"It seems that they tried to deal with it themselves, but it is not easy because it is such a powerful monster."
"So you're going to take care of it yourself?"
He nodded.
"If you have nothing to do, I want you to go with me. I'm a little worried that you're going to be alone here."
Although he was about to die, Albrecht was still moving around the place.
He seemed to be worried about leaving me alone in such a place.
Either he was worried that Albrecht would hurt me, or maybe he wasn't...
'Are you worried that I might have something wrong with Albrecht? Is It because I said I was going to kill Albrecht and was actually plotting to betray Kishian myself?'
No, it won't.
If Kishian was so suspicious of me, he wouldn't have entrusted me with Albrecht's handling in the first place.
It was clear that he had confidence in me, so I had to trust him as well.
Above all, I wanted to believe in him.
"I'll go too."
"Well thought. There is no need to worry about exterminating monsters, as there is nothing dangerous about it."
I hesitated a little before answering, so I dared to add that he was safe.
I didn't hesitate because I was scared, but I nodded my head in moderation.
At that moment, the hand that had been brushing against my chest over my clothes suddenly began to touch a sensitive spot.
It seemed that it would be hard to get over tonight either.
***
The morning I decided to leave as a writer.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I had to be harassed by the maids.
Kishian said that there was no danger in the polluted area, but my maids had a different idea
In particular, Mrs. Blanca asked me to pack various things early in the morning.
"You can't drink even a sip of water there. They said that the only thing that was polluted was the land, but who knows. If you want to get burned, be sure to do it! You have to soak this herb in water and drink it."
"What kind of herb is it?"
"It is a medicinal herb famous for its ability to purify magic."
I had never heard of such herbs.
Is it really effective? Could it be that a naughty merchant deceived this innocent woman and sold the herbs at a high price?
If it was something she bought at a high price, I couldn't get it like this.
I refused several times, but she finally put the herb in my luggage.
When I went outside after getting ready, I saw that about thirty soldiers were already preparing to leave.
They were the elites that Kishian had selected to hunt down the monsters of Baron Valdek.
He didn't seem to have decided to leave Walter at the mansion, and my maids didn't join me this time, so I wasn't included in the procession.
It would be a burden to lead too many people to Baron Valdek's small mansion, so he selected only those who were absolutely necessary.
In the crowd, mostly strangers, Kishian parked his chariot waiting for me.
As I entered the door he had opened for me, he followed me into the carriage.
This time, instead of riding a horse, he seemed to be planning to travel with me in a carriage.
The wagon, surrounded by soldiers, soon began to move.
At the same time, Kishian spoke up.
"Have you ever seen a monster?"
I shook my head at the sudden question.
"I've never seen anything alive. Because..."
Because there was Letie.
Perhaps she possessed mysterious powers like the one chosen by the gods, but no monsters appeared in the system where Letie was located.
But to say that I haven't seen it thanks to Letie is to reveal my Identity to Kishian.
I hesitated my answer.
"Monsters didn't appear in the capital often. It was the first time I saw the Grand Duke hunting at the last tournament."
"Then you have to be careful. If you've never seen a monster before, you might be shocked to see one in Barony Valdek. I'm going to hunt anyway, but this time don't even look at the corpses that have been hunted"
"Why? Is it different from the monsters you hunted during the tournament?"
