Book 5: Chapter 11-1: Cannabis Cuisine
「So, the cannabis has been harvested. Then let's head to Bell Erucy tomorrow. We have no time to lose.」
Though I wanted to relax a bit, every minute and second is precious right now. I want to quickly obtain the cannabis and start developing the drug. It will take time to produce and distribute the drugs.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
「There's no need for that, Cyril-sama,」
Johann, the kobold chief, stopped me while breathing raggedly. Then he waved towards the wagon, and the cargo bed opened, revealing a pile of harvested cannabis. It was lush green, with splendid flowers and fruits.
「This is the first batch. We've loaded as much as we could onto this high-speed carriage you gave us, Cyril-sama. More carriages are on their way. The rest will be delivered by them.」
「I'm grateful. This saves me the trouble of going there myself.」
With so little time left to maneuver, such consideration was truly appreciated. Among the five leaders of Bell Erucy, Johann of the Kobold tribe was perceptive and fiercely loyal to me. He was a man I could really rely on. When the time comes to welcome races other than elves and fire foxes to further expand Erucy, I would start by welcoming people from Bell Erucy. I was thinking of entrusting him with the selection of people for that.
「Then, we’ll start moving it in immediately. Please grant us permission to enter Erucy.」
「Count on it. Also, Johann. We're having a feast tonight. Would you like to join us? Of course, we'll provide lodging for everyone who came today.」
「Us too!? Is that really okay?」
「Of course. The efforts of Bell Erucy citizens in mining coal and cultivating cannabis have been a great help to us.」
Bell Erucy had always been a great support to Erucy. They mined and transported coal, and they had successfully harvested the cannabis. We also received various information from the refugees who came to Bell Erucy, and it served as a bulwark against the Empire.
「Then, I'll gladly accept your offer. A feast hosted by Cyril-sama, I'm looking forward to it!」
「Look forward to it. I'll prepare delicacies that you can't eat in Bell Erucy. ...And, please keep it a secret, but I'll also prepare some souvenirs. Please give them to your family.」
Kuu smiled and playfully stuck out her tongue. Come to think of it, I haven't been able to spend time alone with her recently due to her attendants always being around.
「That's right. I wanted to talk with you too.」
I pulled Kuu into an embrace and kissed her, deeply, with my tongue. Her fox ears stood straight up.
「What are you doing all of a sudden?」
Kuu blushed and protested when I released her from the kiss.
「I just felt like it. It’s been a while, so I couldn't help wanting to kiss Kuu when I saw your face. Did you dislike it?」
「...I didn't dislike it. I also wanted to kiss you.」
Kuu was so cute. I wanted to go further but held back. Kuu's well-being was far more important than my own desires.
「Kuu, your belly has grown quite a bit, hasn't it?」
「Yes. fire foxes have quick pregnancies. Also, recently, the children have started moving inside. I'm really looking forward to the birth now.」
「Yeah, I'm excited too. We need to make Erucy a peaceful country before these children are born.」
For that purpose, I would become a demon. I won't let anyone take away the happiness I've finally grasped.
「Cyril-kun, have you decided on a name?」
