I, a Holy-Attributed Healer, Am Surrounded by Beautiful, Big-Breasted Women of the Female Knight Brigade - Chapter 4 - I Will Definitely Get You [Lana Corias’ POV]

Chapter 4 – I Will Definitely Get You [Lana Corias’ POV]

[Lana Corias’ POV]

I regret leaving Krish behind and returning to Corias more than I can express.

Although Freyna and the others quickly went to assist, I’m certain that with Krish’s abilities, she won’t be able to win against the undead.

The Fourth Knight Brigade, which protects Corias, is like my own child, as I built it from scratch. And yet. I’m about to lose Krish, who serves as its vice-captain.

That child already carries so many burdens.

“Please, God. Please protect Krish.”

All I can do is pray…

Recently, there have been many instances of miasma appearing within the territory.

Even though I’ve warned the various knight brigades to be on the alert, I never would have imagined that the Fourth Knights, which I manage directly, would be put in danger…

I never imagined that a Wraith King would be born as a result of the miasma.

This is the result of my insufficient investigation.

Can I really say that I am fit to serve the Corias family like this?

If things stay like this, there’s no point in me returning home.

As the daughter of an Earl, I was married off once I reached 18 years old.

My marriage lasted about three months.

My husband was ill, and from the beginning of our marriage, he continued to battle his illness until he passed away, and I returned home.

Since my husband’s younger brother inherited the family estate, my presence became a hindrance.

No, to be honest, I was scared.

I am uncomfortable around men. I can tell that my body attracts men’s gazes and desires.

Since I was well-developed from a young age, I’ve lived my life with many people giving me evil, nasty looks.

I never got used to the feeling of being ogled without restraint.

There was one time when my husband’s brother tried to enter my bedroom.

Freyna was with me at the time, so she protected me and my virginity still remains to this day.

After that, I asked my older brother to let me come back to the household.

Having once married, I couldn’t simply do nothing, so I was entrusted with the responsibility of the house steward and needed to work at home to prove my worth.

I formed the Fourth Knights because of my own circumstances, and also to protect these women who were in a similarly weak position.

Two years have passed since the formation of the Fourth Knights, and I know that things can’t continue like this.

I need to give them the opportunity to interact with men, and I myself need to overcome my fear of men.

I’ve thought about having men join the brigade a few times before.

But as soon as the young and immature male candidates found out that the brigade is made up of only women, their attitude changed and they tried to do bad things to the female members to satisfy their vulgar desires.

Since then, I’ve had few other opportunities to interact with men, but they always wouldn’t make eye contact with me and only stared at my body.

Nothing went smoothly, and this led to the current situation.

If I could accept male members into the brigade, perhaps I could protect the women better.

This time too, Mei and Krish had to be sacrificed to allow me to escape, and even though it was a difficult choice, it still hurts so much that it feels like my heart is about to burst.

“Lana-sama! Krish has been saved by a traveling adventurer!”

Although I was happy to hear Freyna’s report——

“It’s a man, isn’t it?”

“Yes. It’s a man.”

I was half-frightened.

Male adventurers are more rude than nobles, and I don’t know what kind of demands they might make.

As the Lord’s representative, I have no choice but to meet the person who saved Krish and Mei to express my gratitude.

I made up my mind, put on clothes that men would like, and mobilized the entire Fourth Knight Brigade to express gratitude.

Just in case anything happens…

If he is like most men, his eyes will first be drawn to my chest.

I can endure this much for the sake of the brigade.

“Adventurer Salt-sama. Thank you for saving the lives of my team members, and mine as well. I am the lord’s sister, and I have been serving as the household steward. My name is Lana Corias.”

I approached Salt-sama, but he never once looked at my breasts.

In fact, he stared into my eyes, which made my heart race.

He responded humbly, telling me that he helped for his own sake.

Up until now, the rough adventurers I’ve encountered would have looked at me as if licking my body and asking for more than just money.

I guess they must have looked down on me, a noble on the frontier.

But Salt-sama…he never took his eyes off mine during the greeting, and we kept staring at each other so much that I didn’t know when to let go of his hand.

He maintained his gentlemanly behavior, and used words that showed consideration for me.

To be honest, I was impressed that such a man existed.

“Freyna, what do you think of Salt-sama’s behavior?”

After Mei showed him to the hotel, Freyna and I decided to talk about Salt-sama.

“Yes. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that he’s experienced, but he does seem to be used to dealing with nobles, and above all, with women.”

“Yes, but not in a vulgar way, right?”

“Yes. He might have lived with women for a long time. Perhaps Salt-dono, too, has experienced a sad farewell.”

“Oh my!!”

The pain of losing a loved one. Having lost both my parents, I understand it all too well.

After my husband died, I returned home out of fear of men.

But there are gentlemen like Salt-sama out there…

I hope that he can heal his sorrow at least a little in the Corias territory.

Freyna is tall, dignified and beautiful.

Krish has the most beautiful face out of anyone I’ve seen.

These two have beautiful features that are different from my type.

But Salt-sama didn’t cast any lewd glances at these two either.

Just like me, they’ve been the recipients of many nasty gazes in the past.

That is why they are sensitive to gazes, and neither of them felt Salt-sama’s gaze.

He’s proved to be an honest and upright gentleman.

If anything, I feel even more embarrassed for intentionally choosing clothes that reveal too much skin, thinking that a man like him would be pleased.

Then I have no choice but to apologize for my shame with the highest level of hospitality.

I will provide top-class lodging and the highest level of service, and have Salt-sama become the Fourth Knights’ Healer.

Given his gentlemanly nature, he would never harm our members.

Moreover, if any of the members develop feelings for him and he feels the same, I would be happy to give them my blessing.

“Freyna. Perhaps the time has come to reform the Fourth Knights Brigade.”

“What do you mean, Lana-sama?”

“I want to welcome Salt-sama as a Healer. If he is such a gentleman, I think it would be fine to entrust the girls I have protected to him.”

“…If Lana-sama is so determined, then it must be fine. Krish said that he is a high-ranking adventurer with high-level healing skills and Holy magic. I will investigate further.”

“Please do.”

There is no need to doubt his abilities.

He destroyed the Wraith King all by himself when it almost wiped us out.

And he even saved Mei, who should’ve died, when she was on the brink of death.

I can’t thank him enough.

It’s strange… Up until now, I’ve felt disgust or fear whenever I thought of men, but now I’m looking forward to meeting Salt-sama tomorrow.

♢

I decided to have lunch with Salt-sama, which would also serve as an interview.

Perhaps he was only a gentleman on the first day and might show his true nature now. To verify this, I asked Freyna and Krish to join us.

I had heard from Krish beforehand that Salt-sama is thinking of becoming an adventurer in the Corias territory.

How convenient.

Now that I know he wants to stay, it’ll make it easier to invite him to join the brigade.

While waiting and having tea in our renowned Rose Garden, Mei arrived with Salt-sama. 

Not in his adventurer attire… Salt-sama is now well-groomed, has a clean appearance, and looks like a gentleman. He looked like a nobleman, making a striking entrance.

“Thank you for inviting me today. I’m not used to these kinds of occasions, so please forgive me if I act rudely.”

His every move looks elegant, and he never looked at the three of us rudely.

He either maintains eye contact or closes his eyes.

His gentlemanly behavior remains the same, and with the addition of formal attire, he looks even cooler.

My heart started pounding as it never had before.

“Yes. I think you can be trusted, so would you be so kind as to become the Fourth Knights’ exclusive healer?”

“Huh? Fourth Knights’ exclusive healer?”

“Of course, we’ll offer a generous salary! More importantly, the Fourth Knights are all women. Should you find a lady you fancy among them, I will give you my blessing.”

This is the final test.

I’m almost certain he will pass, but there’s still that 1%.

I asked that question, ready to forget it all if Salt-sama is a man who would take the bait right away.

It might seem overly cautious, but my trauma runs deep.

Still, I want to believe in this person.

What will be Salt-sama’s answer?

“Why me? If you’re being so kind, I can’t help but think there’s something behind it.”

This man is a true gentleman through and through.

He didn’t jump at the opportunity to be praised or seize a favorable offer without thought.

He calmly analyzed the situation and expressed his caution.

Fufu, Salt-sama, you continue to exceed my expectations.

It’s settled then. I will definitely get you as our healer.
