“Did you succeed?”

As soon as I returned to the military camp, children came running to me and asked what happened.

My body was still throbbing and numb.

What happened last night was so vivid that I had a lot to say to the children.

“Please tell me quickly~ I couldn’t sleep well last night because I was waiting for you.”

The success of this plan was largely due to the help of my friends.

If my kids hadn’t told me to give it a try, I wouldn’t have even thought about trying again the plan I had already given up on.

When I still think about last night, it feels like it was a dream.

I was barely able to catch my breath after parting ways with the man, but as soon as I arrived, the kids started asking questions, and I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t speak.

“Everyone was so excited. “Let’s calm down.”

Baine calmed down the excited children by telling them to find reason.

“Fran is so embarrassed that he can’t answer.”

“sorry! Did we go too far?”

“… no. “I completely understand your curiosity.”

Even if it were me, I would have been curious about the results.

Things related to uncles were a frequent topic on the minds of children.

“hmm… and… .”

Since I was honestly confessing my first experience to my friends, it wasn’t easy to come up with an answer.

“I did it, I did it.”

“hurray!”

“congratulations!!”

“You’re finally recognized!”

Congratulations pour in from all directions.

It was something I had been struggling with for a long time, but it felt real when I received congratulatory messages from my friends.

“Hey~ I have no time left anymore. “When I saw Fran suffering because of the boss, I felt frustrated, as if my throat was blocked and I was pretending even though I wasn’t even pretending.”

“What would I do if I went all the way there and came back empty-handed?”

“Luckily, he accepted it right away. “You already knew why I came.”

Shine squeaked at Fran’s words! He shouted.

“Eh?”

“Don’t tell me the details! “Do we have that kind of manners?”

“that’s right. “You don’t have to force yourself to say thank you to us.”

“I thought you might be curious. Is that okay?”

Baine said, holding Franc’s hand.

“Everyone’s first time is bound to be precious. “I don’t want to turn your precious experience into a story.”

I was wondering where to start because I thought he was going to ask me in detail about what my first night was like.

But when he said he wouldn’t ask out of consideration for me, I felt grateful.

“I never would have been able to do it without your advice. thank you.”

“You did everything right.”

“that’s right. “You’re pretty and kind, so the boss accepts you!”

“But what did you accomplish in your past life to enjoy the luxury of having such a pretty and precious Franc hanging on you?”

“I think the franc is much more of a waste.”

Gabrielle, who had been listening quietly, joined in and praised her, making her face feel hot.

“no! “I’m not good enough.”

The man from last night proved that he deserves to be popular.

“Because I’m a therapist, I hear a lot of different things. In the case of men, there are cases where they express concerns about whether they can increase their stamina, that the number of sessions is too small, or that it is not easy to endure for a long time.”

“oh.”

“Just because you are an awakened person doesn’t mean you have strong energy. Among the women, there were also cases where their husbands said they felt bad about it and requested counseling. He said he was so disappointed. I think that virility also has a big impact on the condition of a spouse! In that respect, you were so great that you didn’t have to worry about that!”

The fact that he is older than you always seems to be a weakness for him.

Because of that, my friends take my side, saying I am worthless.

But through this experience, I learned for sure that age is just a number.

So, I thought it would be good for my friends to know that I am a person who is not lacking in anything.

“Oooh.”

“I think this tells you everything?”

“You’re so dirty.”

My friends’ faces turned bright red and they immediately distanced themselves from me.

Gabriel did not hide his miserable expression and muttered while sighing deeply and drying his face with his hands.

“It has finally become corrupted… .”

“???”

Using my experience of preaching to believers, I did my best to defend the man and saw the reaction, but for some reason, the reaction was strange.

“Did I say something wrong? “Why are you reacting like that?”

“You’ve become too bold.”

“I’ve grown to the point where I don’t mind saying things like that without hesitation.”

“Something… Something… What makes Fran look more mature than before? “Are my eyes weird?”

“!!”

I realized late that what I said could be too provocative for children.

You see, none of her friends have ever had a close relationship with a man, and doesn’t Shine even have strange feelings for him?

It was something that could be stimulating enough for children with no experience.

Of course, to help her with her first experience, she was friends who gave her all kinds of provocative advice on how to act to get a man to like her.

‘I probably learned most of it from books or something.’

There is no way he would have any practical experience.

If your friends are just telling you what they saw in books, aren’t you telling them what you have experienced yourself?

That may be the reason why children feel embarrassed and find it irritating.

‘I’ll have to be careful from now on.’

Just when I thought it would be better to keep quiet so my friends wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.

Shine said with a very red face.

“Are you that good at it?”

“Hey, I decided not to ask!”

“He said it first! “Isn’t it okay to ask about what I told you first?”

Seeing everyone being so shocked, I thought they hated it, but it seems I was mistaken.

As expected, out of consideration for myself, I forced myself to hold back what I was curious about.

“Are you still curious? “I can’t tell you in complete detail, but I want to share with you my feelings about what it was like.”

My honest feeling was that it was overwhelming in many ways to keep it to myself, so I wanted to ease my thoughts by sharing it with my friends.

My friends must have been reassured by my words and did not reject me any further.

※ ※ ※

We decided to send Fran to the front line first, and then I would rest for a while and then move to the front line.

I wanted to go right away, but I had something to take care of, so I couldn’t move right away.

“Is this the only space left in the warehouse?”

“Are you missing something here?”

“Please rent five more warehouses of this size.”

“Huh… ! “All five?”

“We’re going to fill that place up. No, you can borrow more than five. “Let’s borrow as much as we can.”

“All right.”

If we fill it up, the top will be able to do business without a problem even if I am absent due to the hatchery.

There isn’t enough storage space just to store combat rations, but considering the products sold basically every month, it would be a good idea to have plenty of space.

First, after emptying the warehouse of all combat rations, the warehouse that had been hastily recruited was filled with other items for sale.

After doing all that, two days passed in an instant.

‘It was like that last time, but trying to do all the work at once is cumbersome and difficult.’

I have already left something behind once because I had to be away to deal with the epidemic.

Although not all of the items left behind had been sold yet, it was necessary to leave behind a few months’ worth since there was no way to know when the hatchery would be finished.

Moreover, since the amount of combat rations was large, more warehouses were needed.

It took that much time.

‘It may be that it was finished in two days rather quickly.’

Combat rations are one of the most important things I have to pay attention to right now.

If I don’t do my job properly, the commoners who I managed to calm might go into an uproar.

Even now, we are having trouble with people hoarding combat rations because they don’t know when the supply will be cut off. If we hear rumors that combat rations are not being supplied properly, there will be an uproar.

‘Cleaning… .’

According to the original plan, I should have cleaned the general store for two days, but since I was using up all my time doing other things, I had no choice but to leave it alone and close it.

“Now that we have changed our sponsorship method, I wonder if we need this general store… .”

In fact, it was pointless to continue to run a general store now.

In the future, there will be more and more things I have to get involved in.

Now that I had the possibility of directly intervening in the situation, as Thalia suggested, running a general store might become even more unnecessary.

Not being able to move freely due to running a general store was a huge loss.

But even so, I had no intention of giving up on this general store.

‘Because this is my home.’

I have memories of spending time with my children, and there was a big difference in my sense of stability between having a place I could call my home and not having one.

Although I had purchased land next to the general store, proper construction had not yet begun, so I thought it would be a good idea to put up a building while I was away due to hatchery work.

“There was a place recommended for construction at the top… .”

I was anxious to get things done quickly and go to the front line.

Building a new building was a big task, but targeting the hatchery was a task that put people’s lives at stake, so it had to be pushed down the list of priorities.

‘What can I do to help?’

And since I had already gotten there, I thought it would be better to show my abilities rather than simply give advice.

Using Damon to find out more about the situation at the hatchery is a natural thing to do, and there will be more things you can do for the children who have to go to attack the hatchery.

‘Yul’s alchemy potion would be very helpful in eliminating the hatchery.’

Even if I couldn’t take Yul, I thought it would be helpful to have her potion.

Rather than destroying the eggs one by one, it would be less labor-intensive to push them all away with a potion.
