The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 121

Marianne’s Elder Brother, Kylian

Chirp, chirp, chirp

「Ahn, so amazing, so amazing, ahn, ahn—」

After ejaculating twice into the woman’s vagina early in the morning, we have breakfast, and then finish her little brother’s treatment. The highway to Neurath is still under construction, so we decide to leave early in the morning because we don’t know how far it is to the next post town or how much it has been completed.

「Truly, thank you so much.」

After getting treated with sacred magic, the little brother thanks us excessively. Well, generally speaking, not only is treatment at the church quite costly, they would have to go to Rotos where the church is, so there’s a good chance that he would have died if it weren’t for Lunamilia and me.

「I can’t give you anything in return…」

No, I’ve gotten plenty of thanks from your big sis, after all. In a settlement far away from town like this, it was the perfect price for treatment. With a wide smile on her face, the woman is rubbing her lower abdomen, into which I have dumped my semen yesterday and today. She’s not pregnant though.

「Well then, shall we get going, Luna?」

「Yes, Sei-sama.」

We set off for Neurath. Running on horseback, we cross the mountains while taking breaks every now and then and arrive at a settlement, which is also under construction, just before dusk. This place might already be in the Neurath territory. Perhaps this place will also turn into a fine post town someday. As we enter the settlement, we find buildings under construction and many tents set up there. Judging from their equipment, the men setting up the tents are likely knights. There are so many of them, so I wonder if the entire knight order has been dispatched to guard the settlement? The knights’ expressions are gloomy, and they seem on edge. This feeling, I think the knights are quite skilled. I wonder if they have gathered their best members. In this era, when there are no major wars, the fact that the knights are nervous means that there are powerful monsters. Sigh, I hope nothing happens.

Lunamilia steps forward and speaks to the knights.

「I’m a monk that is on a monastic journey. Is there anything I can help you with?」

After asking us to wait, the knights go to report it to their superior. After waiting for a while, a large and imposing knight shows up. Unlike the other knights, his full body armor seems to be made of high-purity mithril. Leaving aside his true prowess, he must be from a fairly high-ranking noble family.

「Hello, I can’t believe a monk from the Holy Church would come to such a remote place. I’m the second son of the Neurath family, Kylian Neurath. Although this is a post town under construction, we will do our best to welcome you.」

The second son of the Neurath family, he says!? I see, he must be Marianne’s older brother. Unlike Marianne, who has a fierce temperament, he has a gentle demeanor, and although he is more than ten centimeters taller than me, he doesn’t act intimidating at all. For him to come out of his way to greet us, quite the likable man he is. Nobles, who often receive favors from sacred magic such as healing and holy water, tend to respect those belonging to the Holy Church more than commoners, after all.

After introducing ourselves, Lunamilia and I are shown into the mansion. It seems they’re hosting dinner here and will be letting us stay the night. The other knights are staying in tents, so leaving aside Lunamilia, a monk, I feel bad about using a room, so I respectfully decline. I have my duckboard bed and can sleep comfortably in a tent, so I can’t complain. More importantly, we are very lucky to be able to enjoy a delicious meal in such a remote place. Worthily a meal from someone from a wealthy Earl family, it is very satisfying. The wine is also delicious. I wonder if it was their prized collection.

Still, I wonder what the second son of an Earl family is doing in a place like this. It probably has something to do with highway patrol, but the tense atmosphere surrounding the knights is bothering me. As a commoner, I can’t casually talk to Kylian, so I have no choice but to leave the conversation to Lunamilia, a monk of noble birth.

「So, Kylian-sama, is there anything I can help you with? Be it healing or making holy water, as long as you say the words, I will be happy to help you with it.」

「I see, much appreciated. At present, this place needs a lot of holy water, and also healing…」

「Is there someone who needs healing?」

「Ah, no, that’s not it. It’s highly likely that we’ll need it in the near future. So, if it’s alright with you, I’d like to ask you to stay here for a while, Lunamilia-dono.」

Lunamilia and I are heading for Brint in Chanortham, the birthplace of the saint in the Saint Monastic Tale, but it’s not like we have to go there right away. Marianne has taken good care of me, so if it allows to help her elder brother, we can stay here for a while.

「You might need healing, so does that mean a powerful monster has appeared?」

「Yes, actually, a tiger has appeared.」

Geh. A tiger?! It must be a dangerous guy. No wonder the knights are nervous too. He’s Marianne’s elder brother, so I’d like to help, but this time we’ll stay in the settlement and focus on being healers.

「I can use holy light spirit. Please let us accompany you on your tiger extermination. Right, Sei-sama?」

「Y, yeah.」

Gueeh, accompany them on their tiger extermination?! I don’t know how strong tigers are, but even the weakest bear is rank 40. Surely the tiger is even stronger. If it were a superior species, there’s a possibility that we would get wiped out. Damn it, please refuse, Kylian.

「Huh?! You can use holy slight spirit as a monk, Lunamilia-dono?! I believe I heard that you can’t use it unless you become a priest, though.」

「Yes, my proficiency level in sacred magic is 4, which is comparable to a priest. And not only have I become a bronze-rank adventurer in Rotos, I have combat experience. I believe I will be of some use even in the tiger extermination.」

「I see, so you’re a devout believer, Lunamilia-dono. In that case, please. We will do our best to protect you.」

Damn it, now it’s been decided that we will participate in the tiger extermination. Still, I do think Lunamilia’s sacred magic is cheat-level, but as expected, it seems that she is pretty skilled compared to other priests. From their conversation just now, I wonder if one’s proficiency level in sacred magic is related to their faith in God.

「There’s no need to worry. I don’t need an escort. I have Sei-sama here with me, after all.」

「Oh, you said you’re Sei the porter, right? Hmm? I feel like I’ve heard that somewhere before.」

One of the knights whispers to Kylian. I feel like I have seen that knight somewhere before. That’s right, he must be one of the elites dispatched by the Neurath Knight order to secretly serve as Marianne’s guard during the battle against the lord of the labyrinth of Mahra, which we subjugated together.

「What, so you’re the person who used to work as Marianne’s personal porter.」

Alright, Kylian speaks to me first. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to get some information out of him.

「Yes, Marianne-sama has taken good care of me. Fates brought Lunamilia-sama and I together, so currently, I’m serving as her companion on her monastic journey.」

「Marianne, huh… Sigh, I can’t believe she’s marrying into a family so far away…」

Kylian chugs down his wine. It seems he has had a considerable amount of alcohol circulating in his system. I’d like to ask more details about the tiger, but… I wonder if Kylian has some dissatisfaction with Marianne’s marriage. Maybe he’s a sister complex. Well, leaving aside her personality, she’s quite the beauty, after all. Marianne is the kind of woman who would become the commander of a warrior order in another town, actively exterminate high-ranking monsters that appear on the highway and subjugate the labyrinth lord. Perhaps the more handful the younger sister, the cuter she is. The Galfeet family into which she will marry is a marquis family, so in terms of a family one could marry into, I don’t think they’re lacking in any ways, though.

「It must have been tough to work as Marianne’s personal porter. But despite how she looks, she also has a feminine side to her, you see. Especially when she went to an evening party, she would constantly get asked for a dance, after all.」

Yes, I know Marianne’s feminine side very well. Ugh, this is bad, surely they haven’t found out about my relationship with Marianne, right?

「Actually, my father had secretly pushed for her to marry a nearby noble, but to think such a misfortune would befall him… In the end, a member of the Galfeet family fell in love with Marianne at first sight, and agreed to all the conditions she put up, so the marriage was set in stone…」

Kylian is chatty, perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol. Marianne’s prospective husband was a nearby noble who had a mishap before the engagement, huh… wait, isn’t that me? I see, if that’s the case, it makes sense why Marianne, the daughter of a high-ranking noble, didn’t have her marriage set it stone until she was 19 years old. They were probably waiting for me to come of age at 14. If I were to inherit the Ambarlius family headship, my legal wife would have been Princess Latifani, and one of the concubines would have been Marianne. Ugh, Marianne’s wonderful proportions are flashing through my mind, and my lower body is getting excited. Calm down.

Even after that, Kylian, who is drunk, only talks about Marianne and I can’t get any information about the tiger. This guy seems to be one hell of a siscon. According to Kylian, if she married a noble from far away, the family would end up losing contact with her, so there wouldn’t be much benefit even if the other party was someone from a marquis family. Rather than such a thing, it seems that it is more important to deepen their relationship with nearby nobles. No, you just want to be able to see Marianne regularly, don’t you? Apparently, as a condition of the marriage, Marianne made him promise that she would be free to act as a warrior after giving birth to two children. It seems that she intends to explore the unconquered bottom lake labyrinth of Galfeet. That’s so like that woman. I intend to visit Galfeet someday too.

It seems that even the Knight order doesn’t have much information about the tiger. The tiger’s rank is above 60, and although they have gathered their elite this time, they seem prepared to make some sacrifices.

「Um, do they not dispatch priests to the Knight order?」

It would be disrespectful for a commoner like me to talk to a member of the Earl’s family, but from the fact that I had served Marianne and that Kylian is quite drunk, I think they wouldn’t rebuke me, so I try asking him about it.

「If they do, who knows how much easier our work would become. Very few priests and monks want to go to the front lines of the battlefield. I even hear that there are very few people nowadays who strive to become priests by steadily devoting themselves in their training through a monastic journey, after all.」

True enough. The moment you are granted the job of Priest, nobles would offer you a peaceful and safe life without any inconveniences in exchange for the blessings of sacred magic. There are probably not many whimsical people who would go out of their way to go to the battlefield. In that case, Lunamilia is a very rare and valuable existence.

Unable to get any particularly useful information after that, I set up my tent by myself and go to sleep with a slight anxiety about the tiger extermination.
