173 – Return (5)

“Seohyun!”

As soon as we arrived at her mansion, Erina’s voice rang out.

Also, Kayla was waiting for me at the entrance.

As the two people’s voices rang out, Celica and Tyria also came out of the mansion and greeted me.

“You came sooner than I thought!”

“Did you successfully complete the investiture ceremony?”

“Yes. “It ended without incident.”

In fact, she had a lot to say to her colleagues, but for now she kept quiet.

Yulia and Schnella were still nearby, and the children who followed Serika were also listening.

Discussions that need to be discussed with colleagues should be discussed separately.

“Then we will return to the request center.”

“I’ll come visit you in the evening, so take a break.”

After Yulia and Schnella returned, we were the only ones left in the mansion.

And there was a line of children following Serika.

A total of five young children. I remembered all the names.

Mark. Sophia. Jack. Tom. Daisy.

They were all immature children.

The oldest, Mark, is ten years old. The youngest, Daisy, is six years old.

These were children who desperately needed help and protection from adults.

“Okay. Guys. “I have to say hello.”

The children hesitated and bowed their heads at Celica’s words.

Most people give the impression that they are afraid of me or awkward.

Fortunately, only Mark was looking straight into my eyes.

I have been with children in Helen Village before.

At that time, I was so busy and time was short that I couldn’t make friends.

Since we will be living together from now on, it would be better for us to become friends.

“How is everyone at the mansion?”

Then Mark immediately nodded his head.

“Yes. Thank you very much.”

It was not good to blindly approach children who were shy.

It’s still awkward, but it will gradually get better over time.

“It would be best to go inside the mansion first.”

“Ah. Okay. “Let’s go in first.”

As we headed towards the mansion, the children naturally closed the door to the mansion.

I heard that they hired guards when there were only children.

Now that we are back, we have to take care of everything in the mansion.

‘It’s a bit difficult to hire people.’

I was a little reluctant to have people whose names I didn’t know living in the mansion.

Even if it was a fairly large mansion, it seemed like we could easily manage it on our own.

I decided to think about it later and walked towards the main gate of the mansion.

As I entered the mansion, I was greeted by a wide entrance and bright lights.

There was a dining room, living room, and private bedroom to the left and right around the stairs leading to the second floor.

From the upper floors, there were private bedrooms, offices, living rooms, and conference rooms.

There are a total of ten people who must live together.

And the largest room among them was occupied by me.

And each of my colleagues chose the room they wanted and settled down.

“Erina.”

“…”

“Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to share the same room as me?”

Then Erina shook her head vigorously.

She clung to me with a distorted expression as if she didn’t want to hear anything, so I couldn’t help it.

I wanted to have at least my own space in the mansion, but it seemed impossible.

“Then there is nothing we can do. “Me and Erina will take the biggest room.”

Then Kayla glared at Erina with her disapproving expression.

Of course, there was no way Erina would care.

“Then I’ll go down to the first floor.”

Celica went down to the first floor because she wanted to be with her children.

The distribution ended with Kayla and Tyria each getting the remaining room.

And there was also talk about the treatment of children.

“From now on, we will let the children stay here until they grow up.”

Instead, she decided to leave housework, housework, and other chores to the children.

Although very young children may not know, Mark and Sophia were able to do simple chores.

It is said that even at the monastery, she often helped Serika with her housework.

“I’ll leave it to Serika to decide how to divide the roles.”

Of course, all salaries were to be given to the children.

But rather than giving the money directly to the children, she decided to leave it all to Serika.

I thought it would be a good idea to prepare for situations when I become an adult or need money later.

“Are you really okay…? “To be honest, it’s a very undeserved condition…”

As Celica said, her amount felt a little excessive.

Still, it was an affordable amount for the children.

Also, she needed to properly account for her colleagues.

Now, Erina and Kayla have entrusted all their money to me, and only Serika has taken care of it separately.

Now that the request fee has increased, it seemed better to settle the money individually.

“Are you really giving me this much?”

Tyria looked quite surprised when she saw her share.

We had some idea of the size of the request fee and settlement, but Tyria had no idea.

She seems embarrassed to suddenly receive a significant amount of compensation.

“I will continue to treat you well.”

“Thank you. “I will work harder.”

No matter how kind-hearted Tyria and Celica were, their hearts could change if they were treated unfairly.

At least we had to prevent a falling out over money.

“It doesn’t matter how you spend the money, but try not to spend too much. Got it?”

“Yes. “I will keep that in mind.”

When Kayla received money for the first time, she looked at her bag of money with a distraught expression.

Has her thoughts become complicated now that she has received personal money for the first time?

I was a little curious about how she would use her money.

“And finally, there is a gift.”

“A gift?”

“With the king’s permission, I was able to enter the palace armory.”

I brought not only equipment for myself, but also weapons that could be helpful to my colleagues.

First, give Tyria her leather armor and quiver of arrows. She handed over her secondary armament to the rest.

“I brought a bow, but I think it would be better if you had your own.”

“Thank you. Such a big gift… “

“It’s okay. “Try to choose slowly.”

Next, it’s Celica’s turn.

Since the cane was inherited from the abbot, it seemed like he had no intention of changing it, so he did not bring it with him.

That’s why I gave him other equipment as gifts.

Monastery and cross necklace with magical power.

“Both are weapons enhanced by magic. “The necklace is said to help you use miracles.”

“Thank you. “I’ll always wear it around my neck!”

When it was hung around Celica’s neck, the golden cross swayed and glowed.

It was radiating warmth like a healing miracle from Celica.

“Next, Kayla.”

Her new silver credit robe, armor, and gloves were prepared for her.

“Similarly, it’s a glove that helps with magic.”

“Thank you. My lord. “I will treasure it.”

Kayla hesitated for a moment and then put her white gloves on her hands.

Fortunately, it fit her hand and looked good.

But for some reason, her expression was not very bright.

I didn’t expect a reaction of emotion or emotion upon receiving my gift.

I thought I could at least see her happy.

“Kayla. “Do you not like the gift?”

Then Kayla was startled and shook her head.

“No! “I like any gift from my lord!”

“Really? “Then I’m glad.”

No matter how much she likes me, it’s impossible not to like or dislike her gift.

When I think about it, I didn’t know much about minor information about Kayla.

Erina was able to know most of the information while playing the game, and her other companions were similar.

After Kayla fell into this world, she was someone she had to get to know almost from the beginning.

‘I’ll have to pay more attention from now on.’

I decided to learn more about Kayla from now on.

And lastly, I gave Erina a small earring as a gift.

It had no special performance, and was chosen solely based on its appearance.

Erina already had the best equipment, so she didn’t need to worry any more.

Because of this, she gave her a pair of earrings that suited her best.

“Erina. Do you like it?”

“Yes…! “It’s really beautiful…”

As soon as I received her gift, Erina came to my side and kissed me.

Perhaps it was because it had been a while since she had been kissed, but her face heated up.

“I will always wear it on my ears.”

Erina seemed to like my gift and hugged me preciously.

He even asked if he could put on the earrings for me himself.

“Yes. “I’ll do it later.”

“Yes, please.”

When she handed out all the gifts, everyone looked happy.

Celica fiddled with her cross necklace in her hands.

Tyria was happy and said she wanted to quickly organize the arrows in her quiver.

However, Kayla was fiddling with her gloves with a stiff expression on her face.

Looking at it this way, her white gloves had a plain appearance compared to other gifts.

‘Next time, should I give you a little extravagant gift?’

Kayla decided to think about what kind of gift she would like if she received it.

***

The reason why Kayla didn’t look happy even after receiving the gift a little while ago.

Until now, Kayla had never given Seohyun a gift.

She always had a grateful heart for Seohyun, but she couldn’t find a way to express her feelings.

As she received the gift in such a situation, it weighed heavily on her heart.

Therefore, the moment the master asked if she liked the gift, Kayla’s heart sank.

Despite being unable to express her gratitude, she ended up giving a misunderstanding to her lord.

Kayla realized her mistake and quickly denied it, but Seohyun moved on with a bitter smile.

Meanwhile, as soon as Erina received the gift from Seohyun, she even kissed it and was showing off her cuteness to her heart’s content.

At that moment, Kayla’s heart burned hot and at the same time she turned cold.

‘Why on earth do I…’

Rather than her jealousy and anger towards Erina, her self-loathing towards herself welled up in her heart.

But what would your lord think of you if you said this out loud?

It was obvious that she would be disappointed in her again.

Because of that, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut and wallow in her worries.

In reality, Seohyun also had complicated feelings about her.

Until the end, Kayla did not notice her feelings.
