I, a Holy-Attributed Healer, Am Surrounded by Beautiful, Big-Breasted Women of the Female Knight Brigade - Chapter 45 - Being So Indecent in Salt-Sama’s Arms [Mei’s POV]

Chapter 45 – Being So Indecent in Salt-Sama’s Arms [Mei’s POV]

[Mei’s POV]

A public execution was taking place in the square.

To be honest, I don’t feel any sympathy for my family.

I just watched as my family was arrested as the perpetrators of the crime, thinking it had nothing to do with me.

But it turns out my mother, who had always obeyed my father, hated him. She also thought of my brother as a total nuisance.

What surprised me was that she never uttered any grudges against me.

I thought that deep down, she hated me the most…

But my mother must have been enduring. Day after day of being tormented by my father. And seeing my brother just stay at home doing nothing. She was living a life enduring those men.

I guess Rutas took advantage of her painful feelings and she chose to let herself go.

Hearing my mother’s true feelings, it made me realize that I am indeed my mother’s daughter. 

Maybe my mother chose the wrong path. She couldn’t make the decision or take action to join the Fourth Knights like I could.

What did she feel when I showed up to interrogate her? Rutas and my mother will surely be executed. My father and brother will be exiled, if they’re not executed too.

But I don’t think the two of them will be able to survive after losing mother.

I’ve only just realized that mother was the core of the family, a woman who had simply endured being oppressed.

When I was told that Salt-sama was the one who orchestrated this operation, I was surprised, as I couldn’t imagine that such a kind person would come up with the idea.

But perhaps, he cut off my family in order to save me.

I had made Salt-sama, who expressed his feelings for me, make a cruel decision. It was my own words, asking for his help, that made him do it.

And now, like my mother, I find myself wanting to depend on Salt, unable to shake this shallow feeling from my heart.

“Can you just hold me without saying anything right now?”

Salt-sama is belittling himself and trying to make me hate him.

He is kind to no end, but his kindness is unfair.

“Huuuu~~…”

I cried on his chest, while hugging and being wrapped up in him.

Pant, pant, hah…hah… Pant, pant, hah…hah…

Nnnn~~~…

Oh no, I can’t let Salt-sama know that just by being held by him is making my body hot and horny.

It’s not time yet. I can’t tell him that I actually want to be embraced like this.

I don’t care about my family, I only want Salt-sama.

Even if Salt-sama has another woman, I still want to be by his side forever.

“Get some rest for now. Heal.”

Hearing Salt-sama’s gentle voice, my head was stunned, I couldn’t think about anything and like that, I lost consciousness.

♢

When I woke up, I was lying on a bed.

“Mei? Are you okay?”

The person in front of me wasn’t Salt-sama, but Krish-sama.

“Krish-sama.”

“Yeah, it’s me. Sorry, I wasn’t strong enough to save you, Mei.”

I sat up, remembering the remaining of Salt-sama’s warmth on my body.

I don’t know how long I was in his arms.

But a feeling of happiness remains in my heart.

“It’s okay, Krish-sama. Salt-sama helped me. Also, it was true that one of my family members was the culprit. There’s still work to be done, like investigating other accomplices and spies who have infiltrated Corias city.”

“That’s right. I’m sorry about your family, but I’m glad it was proven that you weren’t involved. Apparently, your mother woke up and stated that you had no involvement.”

“Eh?”

A surprised voice leaked out of my mouth at Krish-sama’s unexpected words.

“Thanks to Salt-dono’s magic, she was able to calm down and speak clearly. She confessed that you had no part in it, and that she and Rutas were the masterminds controlling your father.”

My parents were sentenced to death. Lutus was also sentenced to death, and it was carried out while I was sleeping. My brother was made a criminal slave and has already paid the compensation.

Others in the town who collaborated with Rutas were also sentenced to death based on my mother’s testimony.

“Gain-dono was considerate enough to ensure you didn’t have to witness your family’s execution.”

“Thank you.”

Even though I heard my family was dead, I didn’t feel any sharp pain in my chest.

However, I was surprised to hear that my mother had saved me in the end.

“This incident happened partly because of the lack of civil servants in Daut city, so it was decided that a civil servant would be assigned who would be able to discuss the matters in detail with Lana-sama.”

“That’s a good idea. Relying solely on military personnel can leave gaps.”

“That’s right. Mei, is there anything you’d like me to do for you?”

“Eh?”

“I couldn’t do anything for Mei. I simply followed orders from my superior, Gain-dono.”

Krish-sama tried to protect me. She ran to inform Lana-sama, traveling the normally four-day journey in just six days round trip.

I understand how tough that must have been.

“Krish-sama, you’ve helped me a lot. You, Salt-sama, and Gain-sama have all been very kind to me. If I could just continue guarding Salt-sama together with Crusch-sama, that would be enough for me.”

“Mei, you really have no greed. I understand. I’ll report to Lana-sama. For now, take some more time to rest. Considering your family’s situation.”

Krish-sama grew up alone in the slums, so she doesn’t know what it’s like to have a family.

Krish-sama was abandoned by her family, and I was betrayed by mine. I don’t know which one of us is luckier, but as long as I get to be by Salt-sama’s side, I’m happy.
