605. [Side Story] Vacation (4)
Same time, women’s bath.
“Okay then. As previously announced… … .”
Evangeline clapped her hands and declared in a solemn voice.
“Crossroad female hero and mercenary rights and interests committee, shortened to Keu Yeoyeong-yong committee, Je… … how many times Anyway, we will have a meeting. Now, everyone clap!”
Clap clap clap clap!
Evangeline alone clapped. The rest of the staff didn’t even budge.
In the midst of silence, someone raised a hand in the mist of steam. was a junior
“… President Evangeline, I have a question for you.”
“Please speak. Junior member.”
“Why is this great meeting… .”
Junior asked with trembling eyes.
“… Are you having it in the sauna room?”
It was.
This is a sauna room inside the women’s bath. It is also a wet sauna.
In this space filled with suffocating heat and moisture, the members of the Great Yeo Young-Yong group were haggard faces as if they were about to collapse and die.
Only Evangeline Heng! He groaned and crossed his arms leisurely.
“Isn’t it boring to have the same meetings every time? I gathered them here because I thought it would be more fun if they gathered in various forms.”
“No, this way is no fun! hot! It’s hard! Let me out!”
Junior shuddered. Then Evangeline leaned over her and whispered softly.
“… Also, I’ll pull out some poisonous air from their stomachs.”
“huh? It’s poison… … .”
Junior looked where Evangeline was pointing. She then shook her shoulders.
smooth… .
I could see two elves squatting in the corner of the sauna room, scattering dark melancholy.
It was Belldandy and a body bag. The faces of the two elves, each of whom had lost someone dear to them, were hardened even in this hot sauna.
Evangeline poked Junior’s shoulder as he was carefully examining it with his fingertips.
“And, take some out of your sister’s stomach too!”
“Eh, me too?”
“Your sister always has a gloomy face, too!”
was it?
Junior carelessly touched his face. Her frown on her own expression touched her fingertips.
… No, I’m sad because of the last battle, but didn’t it just happen because the sauna was hot and tiring?
“Ugh, I can’t stand it. I want to go first.”
It was awkward to show my bare body because of the scar on the left half of my body.
Junior, who has weak stamina, gave up the sauna and tried to go outside. Then Evangeline suddenly shouted.
“for a moment-!”
“What, what is it?”
In front of the flustered junior, with a needlessly spleen expression, hehe! Clearing her throat, Evangeline turned to her audience and raised her voice.
“Now that most of the female heroes belonging to the Crossroads seem to have joined our Great Yeoyeongyong Committee, I would like to reveal the real purpose of creating this group.”
“The real purpose… ?”
Wasn’t it just a foodie gathering made to eat and drink freely?
As everyone looked at them curiously, Evangeline spat out with a serious face.
“The real purpose of my founding of the Big Yi Yongyong Committee, that is… It is to secure a base of support for a certain ‘welfare project’ that I will promote as a lord after inheriting the rulership of Crossroads in the future.”
“yes? Welfare work?”
“Huh, don’t be surprised when you hear it. The name of the welfare project is… … ”
Evangeline smiled cheekily, then raised her index finger forward and declared.
“It’s ‘a boyfriend for everyone’-!”
“…….”
“…….”
Everyone was silent because it was absurd. Even the Belldandy and body bag in her corner looked at Evangeline with wide eyes.
For a moment, everyone in the room thought.
‘Is this lady going crazy because the sauna is too hot right now?’
But it wasn’t madness. Evangeline continued her speech in her heartfelt voice.
“After putting the crossroads in my hands! We will provide unlimited ‘Meeting Arranging Tickets’ to all heroes belonging to the Great Yu Yongyong… … !”
“Eh, a dating ticket?”
“Plus, unlimited offers… ?”
“What the hell does that mean?!”
“Hu, huhuhu, that’s what it means.”
Evangeline clenched her fists.
“It means that we will arrange unlimited 1-on-1 meetings until you are matched with someone you like!”
oh oh oh… … !
A wave of agitation spread among the female heroes.
What a crazy thing to say in the first place… … It was the same attitude, but as Evangeline continued to speak, the heroes blinked their eyes one by one.
Yes, now we are spending our days fighting to the death in front of the monster, but someday this invasion will stop and the world will become peaceful… … .
‘Can we date too?’
At that time, the gambler Violet, a woman with light purple hair who had been listening quietly, let out a fiercely suppressed sound.
“right… .”
everyone saw her right?
“Uhyo clothes?!”
“Aww! Miss Violet is broken?!”
Fellow gamblers Orange and Scarlett hurriedly supported Violet with a towel next to Violet, who was coughing up a nosebleed.
After wiping the blood from her nose, Violet panted and muttered.
“me too… I will fall in love too… … ! Seriously, once you’ve finished this one bath, you’ll have to pay off the bill, and after washing your identity cleanly! Pretending to be a decent noble lady and flirting with men… … !”
“Oh, oh oh oh… !”
At that time, everyone was agitated and excited by Evangeline’s bombshell declaration.
“… By the way, what is the benefit of Miss Evangeline?”
A cold voice flew in.
It was Rosetta, the head of the church. Her glasses were fogged up and her expression was invisible, but her voice was soft and cold as always.
“There’s something else you’re aiming for, so it’s expected that you’re trying to implement this kind of policy.”
“Whoops. that’s right. Instead of implementing this policy, I.”
Evangeline shyly expressed her ambitions.
“… I will only have three husbands.”
thud-!
Everyone’s faces turned pale at Evangeline’s explosive statement.
Embarrassed female heroes jumped up from their seats and pointed at Evangeline.
“What, what shameless, ruinous sounds!”
“You think such an offense is permissible?! I can’t forgive you! Even if Heaven forgives, we cannot forgive!”
“It is an insult to the imperial family, an insult to the imperial family… !”
Officially, only the emperor can have multiple consorts in the Everblack Empire.
It was only allowed as an exception because he had to see a descendant, and even that was usually only one empress.
Basically, the country was monogamous. Evangeline declared her rebellion against this system.
“Whoops, in the southern border here, the Margrave is no different than the King. And above all, once we save the world… … Would His Majesty even turn a blind eye to a law revision like this?”
Evangeline laughed out loud.
“In the old saying, it was called heroic lust! Wouldn’t it be okay if I revealed a little bit?!”
Although it was funny to see a young boy who had never been in a flirtatious relationship, let alone lecherous, talk like that.
“Okay, besides that! We are preparing various welfare programs such as ‘Feeding everyone’, ‘My house for everyone’, and ‘Pensions for everyone’!”
Everyone noticed.
“Everyone told me to hold on until I sit down as the lord. Got it? I promise to treat all my comrades in our crossroads with no regrets!”
Evangeline is now trying to empower everyone in her own way.
After this arduous battle, beyond the destruction that has come… … .
that there will be happy days
So, let’s laugh together.
That’s why he was trying to energize everyone by throwing in absurd numbers like this.
The efforts of this little girl who would become the future lord of this land were admirable and grateful, so everyone in the seat laughed.
“Yes, in order to obtain a handsome harem… I will definitely get my hands on the power of indiscretion… … !”
“…….”
Junior broke out in a cold sweat.
No, you’re not serious, are you? Did you just throw a bunch? huh?
“… haha.”
After that, Junior laughed out loud.
what about
Whether the words Evangeline threw were simply to comfort everyone, or whether it was the true intentions of the dark side, either way.
“I like a muscular man!”
“Me, I like the fleshy bear body! I want to be hugged softly!”
“Adonis! Adonis! Adonis!”
“The type with a cool beard!”
“The type that looks good in a suit!”
“A nice, sincere, and good at cooking man!”
“Anyone is fine as long as they love me!”
If everyone can laugh happily, isn’t that what it is?
Everyone in the seat laughed excitedly and expressed their taste. After taking turns shouting out their preferences, and even Belldandi and Body Bag, who were swept away by the atmosphere, expressed their taste for men-
“… hmm?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Junior.
Evangeline laughed sinisterly.
“Junior sister? I think it’s your sister’s turn?”
“I-I… .”
Confused, Junior rolls his eyes left and right in confusion,
“Aaaagh! give up!”
I hurriedly ran out of the sauna.
“Crap, I don’t know if Junior will be able to seize the opportunity even if it comes like that.”
Evangeline, who was muttering as if she was a beginner in love, applauded.
“Okay, the secret sauna meeting ends here! I believe that everyone will keep what happened today a secret!”
Evangeline ran a hand through her platinum blonde hair, which was drenched in sweat.
“Let’s go wash up. Oh, it’s too hot to die.”
The female heroes rushed out of the sauna. It was hot and humid, but I was so excited that I even screamed, and everyone was dying.
Evangeline’s eyes, which had been smiling while making eye contact with the heroes who were escaping, soon became round. It was because she was the last person left in the sauna.
“Your Excellency the Grand Duke?”
“hmm? ah.”
It was Dusk Bringer.
The Dragon Blood Duke, who had been sitting with his legs crossed and just watching the noisy meeting of the members of the Great Yeoyeong-wei, suddenly came to his senses.
“It was a noisy and fun meeting today. Whoops.”
Slowly raising his body, Dusk Bringer whispered.
“I want to see the wine too. In a peaceful world after the invasion of monsters, a happy future for everyone in this city… … .”
Evangeline smiled like a child and asked quietly in Dusk Bringer’s ear.
“Would you like to hit the archduke coolly?”
“ha ha ha! Is there a man of great stature who dares to meet Gwain?”
“Shouldn’t the Grand Duke also take a look at the heir? When the war with the monster is over, let’s grab a true boyfriend! I will try hard to find it.”
Covering his mouth and laughing, Dusk Bringer gently closed his amber face.
“… The succession to the Dukeship of Bringer is not bloody. It leads to meaning.”
“yes?”
“But, yes… .”
Through the thick steam, Dusk Bringer slowly left the sauna.
“If such a day ever comes, I’ll be happy to arrange a meeting.”
“Hee hee, leave it to me! I will work hard to find someone who will suit the taste of the Grand Duke!”
“Don’t expect it, the next lord of the Crossroads.”
A bitter smile crossed the corners of the Dragon Lady’s small mouth.
“I think just imagining it would be fun.”
***
“Okay, everyone washed well!”
Inside the hot spring facility. common hall.
The heroes who had been stripped and polished piled up and sat on the floor. I stepped onto the platform at the end of the hall.
“My lord, here.”
“hmm.”
Lucas carefully folded the towels and made them into woolen hats. I received it and put it on my head, looking around at everyone and shouting.
“From now on, I am not your commander Ash!”
“……?”
“From now on, I am an instructor who guides your dungeon retreats! Did you understand!”
Everyone looked up at me with a face that didn’t understand anything.
I put on a vicious expression and laughed.
“I’ll roll you all like hell and let you spit out all the bad feelings in your head… !”
Immediately after, I pointed to the cart under the platform.
“Now, drink honey and eat eggs first! With a heart of gratitude to the farmers and cooks at the manor house, the meal was served!”
Everyone rushed out and took their share of eggs and honey water.
Next to me, Damian and Lucas chatted as they put the peeled egg in their mouth and mumbled it.
“By the way, what’s different about the instructor prince and the usual prince?”
“… I do not know. You look the same as usual except for the hat.”
“No, guys, it’s different! Totally different!”
I clenched my fists. Depending on what you do, this instructor could be an angel or a demon!
“As soon as the meal is over, each party gathers and sits down.”
I looked around at everyone in a slightly serious tone and said.
“I’ll tell you what you need to do in this dungeon retreat.”
Also at the same time.
The role everyone would play in the Black Dragon subjugation was also to be determined by each party.
