Being Strong On Your Own

Chapter 71: Two Commanders of Two Kingdoms

"Let me rub your back Irena."

"What to?"

"When two girls shower together, it's commonplace."

Irena felt it might just be her wish as a fellow girl, letting Sartina do it Irena just puffed her cheeks in embarrassment. He would get used to doing this with his fellow adventurers if it was a stranger that still made him awkward.

"It's over."

"I feel weird being pampered, let me rub your back too."

"Then please, yeah."

When they finished they were together soaking in a tub big enough for two people, this was Sartina's residence and she was very happy when someone came to visit.

"That, your residence is quite simple, aren't you trying to recruit servants or something?"

"Hmm. that's the same thing that your majesty said, I think I'll do it if I really need it later, for now I prefer it like this."

"so."

"This is the only home of my parents, here are stored many beautiful memories... Then what about Irena, do you have a certain residence?"

"When I was adventurous I only slept in inns but now I'm building a mansion and keeping some servants inside."

"Owh, that must be amazing."

"You can stop by, I'll spoil you."

"That sounds fun."

The two chuckled, from small talk they continued to deepen the bond and started to get to know each other further.

The next morning on top of the hill, Irena stood behind Sartina praying at her parents' gravestone, her own place filled with green land and large trees behind her which was a beautiful sight.

After finishing they held the mat a little far and then inaugurated the second picnic.

"Did you like a picnic in a place like this?"

"Haha that's how it is but this is my first time with someone, it feels so good."

"so."

"By the way yesterday I accidentally heard your conversation with your majesty, are you going to do some sort of expedition?"

"Well, we want to find the Elves, my friend is from the elf race, I actually want to be able to help her, she said, she is often referred to as the last elf but if I manage to find her then I'm sure she will be happy."

"I hope you succeed."

"Thank you."

"For now let's eat this sandwich I have many tablets."

Irena just silently smiled doubtfully, however Sartina made the sandwich high enough that it might not be something that one person could eat.

Grey sat in his chair while doing his usual work, he was thinking of making the same festival he saw in the kingdom of Asteria when his main work was finished because it did not produce results so he asked for help to his two wives Flarisa and Anabeth in the family room.

"Owh, that's interesting.I'll be the one in charge" Anabeth said, followed by Flarisa.

"I am too."

"Then this is the festival data Asteria created, you can add new things or reduce them."

Both of them showed excited eyes.

"Let's make a beauty contest."

"true."

"Ugh, I told you there should be no such contest. Make some kind of eating or dancing contest."

"Heh, even though it's the event that most people are waiting for."

"I don't think my husband wants to see us."

"Well, I've seen all of you what else you want to show."

Either Anabeth or Flarisa both immediately hid their bodies with their hands, and said ignorant simultaneously with cute.

"Basic pervert."

They're really trying to tease Grey now.
