Cecil looked at Cheonyoung as she left, then turned her attention to her younger sister, Lucy. Lucy, who was staring at him with a vague gaze, turned slightly as if she felt her gaze.

“Why?”

“Nothing. More than that, I think the way you treat Chunyoung has changed quite a bit.”

“Yes. I received a lot from him.”

Cecil was convinced by the way her face blushed softly. That Lucy has a crush on her Chun-young.

That’s a good thing. Because she herself thinks Chun-young is a good match for her Lucy. She actually tried to make it happen.

But why? A tingle in one corner of the chest.

Maybe that’s why the words that came out of Cecile’s mouth couldn’t help but feel a bit cold.

“I didn’t know she could even make a sandwich herself? I heard she never made one for my sister.”

“Oh. I’m sorry. So this time I’m going to do it for her sister.”

“Hmm.”

When Lucy, who seemed flustered, hurriedly spoke, Cecil groaned and nodded her head.

She has nothing more to say. Having moved away from her Lucy, she shook her head in a blunt air that felt normal.

I am a precious little brother, and a precious family. What’s wrong with her trying to find her happiness?

This is good.

You should be satisfied with this.

Even so, the tightness in her heart still hasn’t been relieved.

“Whew…”

As soon as I arrived at her office and sat down, she let out a sigh. Elan, who had been following her, grabbed Cecil by the shoulder, puzzled.

“What’s wrong?”

“Hmm… Well, nothing special.”

“Okay? Then let’s get to work.”

“Hmm… Elan. I’m curious. Why would a woman rub her breasts against a man?”

“A woman to a man? Um… Maybe it was just that her breasts tickled?”

“…That’s it.”

“What?! That reaction?!”

She is Elan, who has never dated a man, let alone dated.

It was rude to Elan to ask such a delicate question. As such, Elan was moved to tears at Cecile, who shook her head, but her intuition spoke.

She said that no matter what she said, she wouldn’t even get her money’s worth.

“Okay. Give me the report on next year’s food production projections.”

“This?”

“Yes.”

After receiving and quickly reading the report Elan had prepared for her, she nodded her head.

If all goes according to plan, this year’s wheat harvest will increase by more than 30% compared to the previous year.

A star estate with many fertile farmlands.

Until now, however, farming could not be done properly due to lack of manpower, but as rumors spread that the troops sent by Count Estal were protecting the territory, the influx of refugees increased.

If you use them, everything will go according to plan.

“Thanks to the gold and food I received from Count Estal, there is no problem accepting refugees.”

“That’s good. I think we can expand the territory a bit more.”

“Isn’t it going to be a problem around you?”

The expansion of the territory means that the power of the nobility is strengthened. It was an act that could stimulate other nobles around.

That’s why expanding the territory is something that shouldn’t be done recklessly, but now it could be called an opportunity.

Once you can get the recognition of Count Estal.

And…

‘If Cheonyoung handles monsters well, there’s no big danger.’

The most dangerous part when clearing farmland is the attack of monsters. However, as long as there was an outstanding talent named Cheonyeong, the monster’s attack could be prevented to some extent. In addition, the troops sent by Count Estal could be used, so it would be more so.

If it weren’t for the Black Alchemist, there wouldn’t be anything that could really be called a problem.

“…Isn’t it?”

There is a part that gets caught in the chest. Chunyoung and Lucy.

It’s a good thing that Lucy is getting closer to Chunyoung little by little.

Because he always wanted his little brother to be happy.

But why does it feel stuffy to see the two of them together?

She let out a heavy sigh and shook her head.

‘Now is not the time to think like this.’

It’s time to grow a little more manor and develop strength. If you prepare now, Lucy will be able to protect herself in case of danger later. So when you can afford it, she should work to the fullest.

She can’t pay attention to useless things. Thinking so, Cecile was about to enter the room, but the thought suddenly came to her and she bit her lips.

‘It’s a lunchbox…’

***

The sandwich was delicious enough. I calmly tidied up the empty basket and looked around.

The corpses of three sword bears, wild boar-like monsters. There is even a shadow-shaped monster, Shadow Fang.

I came to catch Sword Bear and caught all the stars.

Especially that shadow-shaped monster, Shadow Fang, I really didn’t expect. Hiding in the shadows of the Wild Boar, I was a bit surprised when it suddenly attacked.

However, I was able to catch it easily because I was aware of it.

“Good.”

Cecil still wanted Shadow Fang’s breath. At first, it was called breath, so I wondered if I should hold Shadow Fang and let him breathe, but Shadow Fang’s breath is like a black marble that can be obtained by holding Shadow Fang.

I saw the black orb remaining as Shadow Fang’s corpse gradually disappeared.

Is this it? Anyway, let’s take care of it.

“Eh…”

Then, after skinning the wild boar, the hearts and tusks were collected. If you process the heart and dry it well, you can process it into a medicine used for teleportation. And the tusk is a material used for enchanting.

I wonder if a tusk of this size could enchant four more times.

Come on. Anyway, I finished the work a little earlier than the scheduled time… Should I just go back? Or should I do some more work?

When I read the report, it was said that this place also belongs to the newly expanded territory. In that case, it might be better to deal with not only the sword bears but also the monsters that might be around here.

It’s something to do later anyway, isn’t it better to do it now?

I closed my eyes. Then I calmly started detecting and was able to spot a pretty powerful Magi nearby.

If you catch him, the monsters nearby will not recklessly approach you. I headed right there and found a grotesque monster moving alone.

Kuneira was a monster. It was a monster that appeared in a book called ‘The Book of Monsters’ that I read when I was bored at the academy. It was not easy to find, and it was even harder to catch.

– Hee hee!

Kunei’s body unfolds with a low scream. Kunei, who flies in the sky and wraps his body around the prey at once to melt it, stretched out to eat me. I looked at it and lightly gripped my sword.

-Suddenly!!

And swung it. In one blow, Kunei’s body splits in half and his body begins to disappear into the sky.

It was said in the book of monsters that if you catch kunei, the corpse will disappear like that. The only material I could get from him was a chunk of Kunei’s flesh…

“Ah. Here it is.”

I saw white flesh wriggling on the floor. This is a fairly rare material, so many wizards want it.

Come to think of it, Cecil also needed this material. It was so precious that even she couldn’t find it easily. I’d love it if you brought it.

“It was a windfall.”

I was lucky. Ruler. Shall we go back then?

It was Lucy who greeted me as soon as I returned with light air. When he left, I was worried that he looked a little sullen, but when I looked again, I was glad that his face was bright.

“Aren’t you hurt anywhere?”

“hahahaha. Yes.”

“I’m glad… Ah. Did you finish your sandwich?”

“Yes. It was very delicious. To the point where I want to ask again next time. hahahahaha.”

“Ah. I’ll do as much as I want. Oh, come to think of it… We promised something the other day, didn’t we?”

A promise the other day. Ah. Did you ask me to go on a picnic with a packed lunch when I get released later?

I didn’t expect he would still remember.

“I think I’ll have some time next week or so… How about it? Is that okay?”

“I don’t mind anytime. hahahaha.”

“Then do it!”

“Are you here?”

Cecil came out of her mansion while she was talking with joy. It just went well. I was still trying to find it.

I held out the pouch containing the ingredients I had brought.

“What? This.”

“Oda got it. Kunei’s flesh, and Shadowfang’s breath. You said you needed it, right?”

“Huh?! Really?!”

Her eyes widened and she opened her pockets. Then he took out the wriggling lump of flesh and black beads inside her and smiled brightly.

Yes. It’s so much better than the grumpy face.

“Thank you so much!!”

Cecile rushed in with a lively smile and hugged me. hahahaha. I like it too.

“I caught a Wild Boar because it exists. I heard that the Wild Boar’s tusk is used as an enchantment material, right?”

“Oh~. You say you’re very considerate? It just went well. There was an enchantment I wanted to try.”

Laughing heartily, Cecil patted her face on my chest.

hahahaha. What about this…

Huh?! What is this feeling?

I turned my head around at the sharp feeling I felt behind me. Standing there was Lucy, smiling and grinning.

…Is it because of the mood?

Why does Lucy look bad?

“Sister? How long are you going to hold me?”

“Ah. I see.”

A deep smile hung on Cecile’s lips after she had fallen from my arms.
