I, a Holy-Attributed Healer, Am Surrounded by Beautiful, Big-Breasted Women of the Female Knight Brigade - Chapter 19 - Next to Krish-San and Mei on the Bed

Chapter 19 – Next to Krish-San and Mei on the Bed

“What is the situation?”

“Salt-dono?!”

Krish-san and a male knight in fine armor came over to us.

When the knight asked about the situation, a well-dressed guard at the gate prostrated himself and began to explain.

“Gain-sama! This is A-rank adventurer Salt-sama, the Holy Light. While he was waiting to go through the gate with the members of the Fourth Knight Brigade, a stupid guard called him a lowly adventurer.”

Mei’s family relationship with her father is irrelevant to this issue.

The knight in fine armor took one look at Mei’s father, then knelt down before me without caring about getting his cloak or armor dirty.

“First of all, I would like to apologize for the rudeness of my subordinates. I am Gain, the commander of the Second Knight Brigade. The Earl of Corias bestowed me the title of baron, and I am in charge of managing this city.”

I held my hand up to stop the town leader, who was my equal in rank and bowed of his own accord.

“Your apology is unnecessary. I am only angry at this man, not at you. Above all, I would like to stay in the city you rule. I do not want to leave any hard feelings. An apology is unnecessary, so could you please stand up and shake my hand?”

The reason he didn’t speak in his usual tone was because he was speaking as a noble, and he was publicly announcing to those around him that this was an official exchange.

“I appreciate your generosity.”

Gain-dono stood up and shook my hand.

Just as you would expect from a knight, his grip was strong, and I could feel the calluses on his hand that he had trained as a knight.

“Regarding this person’s punishment…”

“I would ask you not to worry about that either. I just intervened between a father and her daughter, and this ignorant man simply ran wild without listening to the words of his wise daughter. It was his fault that he did not have the knowledge that a gatekeeper should have had. I would be happy if you could provide him with the opportunity to learn.”

That was a roundabout way of talking like a noble, but to sum it up…

Make this foolish man learn.

That’s all.

“That’s harsh. I understand. Then I will arrange it as you wish. If there’s no need for an apology, then I won’t say anything more. In return, let me promise you a pleasant stay in this city.”

“I would be grateful.”

We parted our hands and our conversation came to an end.

An ignorant person listening would have no idea what we were talking about. In fact, Mei’s father looked like he didn’t understand our exchange just now.

“Now then, Salt-dono. The sun is starting to set. I know a place that serves good sake. Let me treat you tonight.”

“Thank you. You’re not only treating me to lodging, but also good sake.”

A comfortable stay in this dangerous town is ensured by the fact that the town leader has welcomed us as guests by securing us a place to stay.

Also, by drinking with the town’s leader, we are seen as “important” guests.

It means that if anyone lays their hands on us, they will be the town leader’s enemy.

“Gahahaha, please come this way.”

Leaving Mei to handle the carriage, the gatekeeper who had explained everything to us led the way.

Gain-dono also gave instructions to another gate guard to take Mei’s father somewhere.

“Salt-dono?”

Krish-san then called my name anxiously.

“You probably have some luggage, so please return to the lodging first. I’ll have dinner with Gain-dono.”

“I-I got it! Be careful. The Second Knight Brigade, they…”

“Vice-commander Krish…”

Krish-san tried to say something, but Gain-dono put his finger over his mouth and gestured for her to stay quiet.

“Don’t worry, Krish-san. We’re just going to have a drink. It’s fun to drink with another man, so I’m quite looking forward to it.”

“Ho ho, can you hold your liquor?”

“I’m confident I can.”

“Well, then, let’s make a bet. If I lose, I’ll do whatever you say.”

“And if I lose?”

“Krish!”

“Y-yes!”

“You spend the night with me.”

That’s outright sexual harassment and abuse of power.

His statement made it clear what kind of person he is.

I could feel my heart grow cold.

“Gain-dono!”

I was going to refuse, saying I couldn’t bet Krish-san.

“Very well! I believe in Salt-dono!”

But before I could say a word, Krish-san agreed.

“Krish-san!”

“It’s fine. My subordinates caused trouble in the first place. It would be rude to Salt-dono if only Gain-dono showed signs of apology. So please consider this my apology to Salt-dono.”

“Kukuku, that’s nice. I’m starting to have fun.”

So Krish-san understood that Mei was the cause of the issue.

“Gain-dono, I have come to dislike you.”

“Is that so, Krish?”

“Well then, we’ll get going, Krish-san.”

“Yes! Be careful.”

I said goodbye to Krish-san, and entered the bar with Gain-dono. The lodging is conveniently located in front of the tavern, making it easy to return.

But would they let me out of the bar?

Probably all the customers around are members of the Second Knights.

The rowdy members of the group looked over and started heckling their Commander, Gain-dono.

“Listen up everyone! I’m going to have a drinking contest with the A-rank adventurer Salt-dono. You will be the witnesses to decide the outcome! If I lose, I’ll do anything Salt-dono asks me to do. If I win, the beautiful Lady Krish will join me for the night!”

“””Woooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!”””

When men gather, it’s all about drinking, gambling, and women. It’s as if they have nothing else to talk about outside of work.

“Bring two barrels! Let’s start immediately!”

Freyna-sama also said she likes alcohol and is a heavy drinker.

Maybe she’d get along with this man.

“You can handle a barrel or two, right?”

“Of course.”

“Good! There’s no man who could beat me in a drinking contest! I’m looking forward to it.”

With that, Gain-dono picked up the barrel and began to drink it directly from it.

Not wanting to be outdone, I put a keg inside the barrel and began to drink, scooping up the beer as I went.

After drinking one, two, three barrels, the effect of the purification magic began to wear off.

My stomach was full of beer, and I felt like it might come out from both ends.

“W-what did you say?”

I didn’t know what Gain-dono was saying anymore.

Not only was he slurring his words, but he also looked unsteady.

“Hey, your commander’s down. Someone call the match!”

“Come on now, do you think you can just leave our turf so easily?”

“Huh?”

“Try and defeat us.”

“I will be the one to spend the night with Vice-commander Krish!”

“It’s me!”

“No, it’ll be me!”

I casted a Holy healing spell on the drunkards who were saying stupid things, causing them to sleep.

No one sober left, huh…

Whatever, I guess I’ll just go to sleep.

“Hey, you, the server.”

“Y-yes!?”

“When Gain-dono wakes up, tell him that I won.”

“I understand! That was really amazing!”

I gave her a thumbs-up and headed towards the lodging in front of the tavern.

My feet were unsteady from the alcohol that was so overwhelming I couldn’t cleanse myself.

“Kyaaahh!!!”

“Huh?”

“S-Salt-dono!”

“Krish-chan!! I’m back~ I won! I protected you!!”

“Welcome back! Fufu, thank you very much for protecting me. Let me show you to your room.”

In my hazy state, I borrowed Krish-chan’s shoulder and returned to my room.

♢

The next day, when I woke up, Krish-san and Mei were sleeping on either side of me.

Can someone explain to me what’s going on?!
