Chapter 12

　　Rudy looked at his hands, then at the bed, his expression showing surprise.

　　"It seems. Not possible."

　　Alan lowered his eyes.

　　'Free instant mission - gain Sylphy's favor, released.'

　　[Confirmed? I need to remind you that the host only has one day. It is best to see Sylphiet before starting the mission, in case you don't find her today.]

　　'Confirmed release.'

　　[Free instant mission - Gaining Sylphiet's favor has been released.]

　　[The mission begins.]

　　[Sylphiet: Countdown: 23:59:59. If completed, the magic groove of the barrier can be unlocked.]

　　Alan raised his face, looked at Rudy, and placed his bloody but still clenched hand in front of him.

　　"Perhaps, do you know how to heal?"

Chapter 17: Departure, Paul's daily life with the first and second wives

　　Rudy's healing skills had not yet reached the intermediate level. Finally, considering that the matter could not be hidden, Alan did not use the healing magic pattern, but apologetically asked Senis to heal his palm.

　　Paul looked at the bed in amazement.

　　Then he turned to look at Alan.

　　"You worked so hard in your dream? Now that you've been treated, let's practice swordplay and let off some excess energy."

　　"…Please let me go, Paul."

　　Alan rolled his eyes at him silently.

　　"Master, today I want to go out with Rudy to see the plants around Buena Village."

　　Paul and Rudy looked over at the same time in surprise.

　　"How can looking at plants be as exciting as playing with swords?"

　　"You are a practical person. You said last night that you wanted to be my friend, and you want to complete it today. You are really impatient. So I will bring a burden with me today. After all, he did me a favor yesterday and concealed the matter of the holy object for me."

　　Alan said nothing, just looked at Paul quietly.

　　Paul blinked, looked at Rudy, and then looked at Alan.

　　"I almost forgot that this child is only nine years old. It's a pity that she is friends with Rudy. I feel lonely today. Hey, wait, Senisi shouldn't go to the clinic to help today. Lilia is going to the market to buy things. Hehe, there's no one at home. I haven't tried to put Senisi on the kitchen stove for a long time."

　　Senis glanced at Paul in confusion, then suddenly realized what was happening and unconsciously squeezed Alan's hand even harder.

　　"Haha. I see. Okay, go ahead. But remember, don't go too deep into the forest. There are monsters in there."

　　When Paul said this with a lewd smile, he was stunned and couldn't help but look at Allen.

　　"It's okay if Alan follows you. Go ahead and remember to come back early in the evening."

　　Rudy looked at Paul's face and his mouth twitched.

　　"Hey, Paul-sama, your thoughts are written all over your face, and there are outsiders here!"

　　Rudy turned and looked at Alan.

　　The latter was looking at his hands in a daze.

　　"Rather than completing the mission, it's better to say that the mission countdown gave me a sense of urgency. I was bullied in the orphanage in my previous life. Similar things happened. Thinking about it, I can only selectively forget it. I don't know if Sylphy has short hair now. The dream I had last night should be what I thought about during the day and dreamed about at night."

　　——

　　After breakfast, the three people in the family sent the two children to the door. Just as they were about to go out, Rudy turned his head and looked at Allen.

　　"Do you want to go somewhere farther away today, or stay closer to the village?"

　　Alan stroked his chin.

　　"It seems that Sylphy's father would go hunting in the forest. And sometimes he and Paul would take turns at the tower on the edge of the village to monitor the movements of monsters in the forest. If Sylphy was bringing him food, the place where she was bullied should be somewhere between the village and the tower. The forest is to the north of the village."

　　"Go north from outside the village until you reach the forest."

　　Rudy blinked.

　　"You have a clear goal. You are a well-planned kid."

　　He turned and looked at Paul.

　　"Father, we will be active in the area between the village and the forest in the north. If we don't come back before nightfall, we must have been involved in some incident. Please follow this route to find us."

　　"No need to report. There are no monsters or people around Buena Village that can threaten me. And today, it may be safer to stay with me than in your house."

　　Rudy blinked and looked up at Paul. Paul glanced at Senis's legs beside him absentmindedly. He must have heard what was said, but he didn't have any special reaction.

　　Then he turned to look at Allen, who was still looking down with an expression as if he was thinking about something, as if the words he had just said, which could even be considered a bit conceited, did not come from his mouth.

　　'This guy's strength seems to be completely recognized by Paul, and his words even hinted that he was stronger than Paul, and Paul did not refute it.'

　　"No, when he said that, the premise was that Paul and Senis would have a brother and sister today, and they wouldn't have the energy to take care of us, so it would be safer to stay with him."

　　"Yes, this guy's expression was very calm when he saw the underwear, and he said he was an adventurer, so he should be very familiar with this kind of thing. Damn, he was so jealous that he instantly understood what Paul was going to do with Senis. Maybe he suddenly asked to go out with me today because he noticed that Paul had not been intimate with Senis at night since he came, because he was concerned about the impact. So he might have deliberately helped them."

　　'He's more mature than I thought.'

　　"Okay, in that case, let's go."

　　"Be careful on the road~"

　　Senis made a cheerful farewell noise.

　　After the two figures walked away, Lilia glanced at Paul and Senis, then bowed.

　　"Then I will go to the market to do some shopping, sir and madam."

　　"Okay~ I heard that the mushrooms picked by the old lady at the northernmost end of the market are particularly fresh. Lilia, please walk a little further and buy some back."

　　Lilia glanced at Senis who was asking with a smile, nodded, and then turned and left.

　　After Lilia left for a while, Paul and Senis instantly broke free from their petrified solid posture. Paul hugged Senis to him, his hands wandering restlessly inside her skirt, while Senis wrapped her legs around Paul, their faces entangled together.

　　"My dear, you have been very restrained since the child came. You don't even..."

　　"After all, he is Philip's child. When he is in our house, I always feel as if Philip is here. But I have gradually become familiar with him in the past few days. Let's continue what children know."

　　".good."

　　Paul lifted up Senice with his hands, and the latter sat astride his arms, and the two moved towards the house.

　　With a click, the door was closed.

　　After a while, faint sounds floated outside through the window, with no intention of suppressing the sound at all.

　　Because the distance between households in the village is very far, no one would eavesdrop on their conversations, and nowadays it is rare for no one to be at home.

　　"Don't do this, dear. Ah."

　　"What? Huh?"

　　"Disgusting"

　　"The unpleasant things have just begun, be aware of it!"

　　".Dear.That's it.Right."

　　Outside the courtyard gate, Lilia leaned against the wall, frowning as if in great pain, and the basket in her hand fell to the ground at some point.

　　She spread her hands from her waist, one hand went up to adjust her maid's shirt, and the other hand reached down to lift up her maid's skirt.

　　The figure slowly squatted down.

　　After all, the houses were very far apart, and of course no one could see the corner of the wall in front of Greyrat's door.

Chapter 18: First meeting with Sylphy, should the child be forgiven?

　　After Alan and Rudy walked for a distance, Rudy turned around and looked at his own mansion from a distance, clapped his hands twice, and bowed his head reverently.

　　"Paul, Senis, enjoy yourself. I'm sorry for the trouble you've had these past few days."

　　Alan glanced at him sideways.

　　"Do you usually play with the children in the village? Or do you see people quarreling or bullying?"

　　Rudy was stunned.

　　"No, as for bullying, I don't have any impression. I just say hello to people when I meet them. I have seen groups of children playing together, but I don't plan to join them, so I stay away from them."

　　'Does this guy want to play a knight?'

　　"Will the children go to play at a location far from the village?"

　　"Um, I haven't seen any. Most of them are near farmland."

　　"Are there any plants near the farmland that can be identified?"

　　"ha?"

　　Rudy looked at Alan in surprise.

　　'Why does this person seem to lack common sense in life?'

　　"Probably not."

　　"Okay, let's go near the farmland."

　　Rudy looked at Allen. It didn't look like the other party didn't hear him. Instead, he was planning to go near the farmland from the beginning.

　　'What does this person want?'

　　Then, Allen added.

　　"Farmland that's closer to those kids playing."

　　Rudy showed a knowing expression.

　　"What? You're going to make friends. You're the type who lacks love. Although you're steady, you like making friends with all kinds of people?"

　　——

　　"What is this?"

　　"This one is a weed."

　　"What about this one?"

　　"It's wheat."

　　"Oh~ what about this one?"

　　".This one is a weed."

　　Rudy's mouth twitched as he looked at Alan who was absent-mindedly counting weeds.

　　"Hey, you're not really interested in drinking! At least be serious, you bastard!"

　　Alan kept an eye on a group of children playing not far away. Among them, there was a tall, fat boy who was bossing his friends around.

　　He turned his gaze and looked at Rudy's increasingly perfunctory expression, as if he had heard his thoughts. He pointed at a batir silk flower that looked very much like the lavender in his previous life, and asked with a smile.

　　"What about this one?"

　　Rudy's eyes lit up.

　　"Finally! No more asking about weeds! Alan, you finally got it!"

　　"This is a Batir silk flower."

　　"What kind of flower is this?"

　　"Batiel silk flower."

　　"What silk flower?"

　　".Batirsihua."

　　"Oh~Balatisi flower."
