I, a Holy-Attributed Healer, Am Surrounded by Beautiful, Big-Breasted Women of the Female Knight Brigade - Chapter 14 - Another Offer From Lana-Sama

Chapter 14 – Another Offer From Lana-Sama

After dinner, we moved to the reception room to have tea. It seems that this was the main event and Lana-sama wanted to talk to me about something.

“Lana-sama, thank you for the dinner.”

“No, no. I received a report from Krish that you completed another great task, so I thought I should thank you once again for defeating the Wraith King and the dragon zombie. Thank you for protecting the safety of our territory.”

Lana-sama bowed deeply, emphasizing her ample cleavage after changing into her current clothes. I closed my eyes so as not to look, and waited until she raised her head before opening them again.

The reception room is a little more casual than the dining hall, so I have to be careful. If I let my guard down during the relaxed atmosphere, I would end up looking carelessly.

The knights were stationed on all four sides of the dining hall, so I was able to discipline myself.

But it’s only Lana-sama, Freyna-sama, and me in the reception room. Perhaps because it’s a smaller room than the dining hall, there is less security and it seems less guarded.

“You’ve thanked me many times, it’s really fine. And I was just doing my job as an adventurer.”

By sitting opposite, I’m able to see Lana-sama’s whole body as we spoke.

I don’t intend to look away, but while talking, I have to make a conscious effort to stare at Lana-sama’s face or eyes rather than her chest.

“I feel like I’m beginning to understand Salt-sama a little better. You’re very humble and serious.”

“I’m not really aware of it myself, but is that really so? My childhood friends’ younger sisters often told me I’m insensitive.”

Asha and Cynthia often scolded me, saying I was no good because I didn’t understand women’s hearts.

“If anything, I’d say I’m quite frivolous in a lot of ways.”

“Really? Fufu, I’d like to see that side of you.”

Lana-sama’s smiling face suddenly became serious, so I straightened up a little.

“Salt-sama.”

“Yes!”

“There’s something I’d like to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“Krish and Freyna pointed out that becoming an exclusive member of the Fourth Knight Brigade would take away your freedom, Salt-sama. However, Corias is currently in a crisis due to the increasing miasma.”

I didn’t think too deeply about it, but it did seem suspicious.

There’s nothing scarier than something that’s free.

If they treated me well only to bill me later, it would be a problem, so I wanted to set some boundaries.

“Yes. After seeing the dragon zombie, I understand what you mean.”

“So, I would like to ask you to join the Fourth Knights once again after you have become more fond of the Corias Territory. Since I understand that’s what you meant by not getting an immediate response!”

Well, I guess that’s not wrong.

I don’t dislike the Corias territory, but it’s a rural countryside. If you asked me if I want to live here permanently, my answer would be no.

“So, how about becoming a helper?”

“A helper?”

“Yes. We’d like to ask for your cooperation with our Fourth Knights as a guest. Of course, you can continue to do your current work as an adventurer. But occasionally, we would like your help with our tasks.”

Well, that shouldn’t be a problem.

Even just being allowed to use the lodging for a few days made me feel indebted enough.

“I understand. In that case, there’s no problem.”

“Really?! That’s wonderful!”

Lana-sama clasped her hands together in joy, lifting her large breasts and emphasizing her cleavage.

Looking at her from the front is devastating.

“Then the Fourth Knights will be dispatching Krish and Mei as Salt-sama’s assistants.”

“Huh?! Assistants?!”

“Yes. Krish said that Salt-sama had taken care of her a lot after this incident.”

“No, I didn’t do much. If anything, she helped me more.”

“Fufu, Krish had a difficult upbringing, so she doesn’t open up easily. But meeting Salt-sama has given her confidence. Thank you.”

Lana-sama truly cares about Krish-san. I can’t take her feelings lightly.

“It seems that ever since Krish met Salt-sama, she’s been growing more and more. Please continue to help her build confidence under your guidance.”

I think Krish-san has always had great potential, but I’m glad to know my words could help her.

“I understand. Krish-san and Mei have been a great help. Also, having those two means I can learn more about Corias, so I’m really grateful.”

“Great! Then it’s settled. Please continue to take good care of the Corias territory.”

“Thank you very much for all your kindness.”

Although it’s just a verbal promise, I’ve decided to take it as a proper contract.

I left the reception room and Freyna-sama guided me outside.

I left Lana-sama in the care of the two guards standing outside the room, and walked down the corridor with Freyna-sama.

“I apologize for burdening you with so much.”

“No need to apologize. I came here seeking work when I heard about the miasma, so having the approval of the acting lord, Lana-sama, is a great help.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Unfortunately, the Fourth Knights are currently preoccupied with identifying spies who have infiltrated the Corias territory, which is why we can only spare two members. I hope you understand.”

“Spies?”

I understood what she meant, but is it okay to tell me something like that?

“Yes, I believe they might be linked to the increase in miasma.”

I see, it seems that someone somewhere brought magic stones contaminated with miasma into the Corias territory and left it with the dragon bones, causing a dragon zombie to appear.

“I see. I’ll look into it on my end as well to see if there’s any connection.”

“I appreciate that, but please don’t overexert yourself. This is our responsibility.”

“Yeah, I’ll keep it to a minimum.”

I smiled and shook hands with Freyna-sama before leaving the Lord’s mansion.
