In the end, I left Erune who was still lying down, then head for the outside.
Despite the sudden occurrence, I was very pleased with the outcome, but it would be bad if I fight another battle again.
There is also the reason of going for an inspection for the time being, too.
I don’t want Beatrice to think I told her a lie just to get rid of her after all.
“Now then, my horse……ah, it’s there”
I went inside the stable and took the horse out.
Why do I need a horse despite being an elf with high physical strength you say? Well it’s not a good example for the King of the Country to walk around the whole town either.
Of course, there are other purposes too, like getting out of a big commotion in case of emergency.
“All right, I’m counting on you today”
I rode that horse and left the castle.
Since the site was not so far away and it’s not like anyone have a grudge against me, I didn’t bring escorts this time.
Yep, a peaceful country is good.
However, that peace has crumbled at the next moment.
“YEaahh! I finally caught you! I really hurried you know? I was lost for a moment there!”
Suddenly, Glinnis jumped out from my side then got behind me.
The horse was surprised too, but I managed to calm it down.
“Hey that was dangerous! Also, we’re in town!”
If a horse were to rampage here, it would be a catastrophe.
More so a kick from a rampaging horse will really give you a serious injury.
“Ahahaha……I was intending to sneak a ride quietly, but looks like I startled it instead. Sorry”
She stroked the back of the horse in apology.
“But I’ve already got on, so let’s go to your destination like this. Let’s go!”
Glinnis seems to have reflected on her actions, but she switched moods so fast, changing the topic immediately.
Thinking I got no choice now but to proceed in this state, I sighed with weariness.
But then, her hands suddenly embraced me around my waist.
I know it’s to keep her from falling from the horse, but I couldn’t help but feel Glinnis’ big breasts being squeezed on my back.
When I looked back at her, she smiled like a criminal about to do something naughty.
“Do not try to obstruct me, you hear?”
“Yeah yeah, I know”
“Haaa, if only that is true……”
I really don’t expect her to do so, still I cannot stay here for long.
I signaled the horse then started afresh towards the site.

Our destination was a river that flowed near the city.
Our plan is to build a solid bridge here.
Though a small bridge was already laid till then, it could only it a very small number of people.
The reason why we decided to build a new bridge there was to make it a trade route with other countries.
Until now there was only a small number of people coming and going, but there should be more and more from hereafter.
Until that time comes, we plan to make a sturdy one as soon as possible.
“Oooh, they have already started! I can see them starting to build from both sides”
“You’re right. Let’s see who’s in charge”
When we got closer to the end, I immediately understood the whole picture.
Compared to that conventional bridge next to it which was made out of wood, this bridge over here is made out of stone, giving it a sturdy and reliable structure.
“Who is the person in charge here? I came for the scheduled inspection……”
When I spoke to the craftsmen nearby, they guided me to the place.
“I wonder who it was…… Ooh, it’s his Majesty and Lady Glinnis!”
A typical elf who seems to be conducting the scene looked at us and bowed.
“I came for an inspection according to the documents that went up to me. I’ll proceed now. Is that okay to you?”
“Of course, We will be your guide”
The person who seems to be the manager guided us as we looked around the bridge.
“Currently, we are piling up stones slowly from the both sides of the river. After this, we will advance the progress from the two sides until we finally reach the center.”
As I look at them, I can see men going back and forth with big stones in both hands.
Even some of them held stones that seem to weight tons and could fit more than ten people inside.
“There are really strong people regardless of appearance, huh”
Glinnis muttered right next to me.
“Well, you can say that. Otherwise we won’t be able to proceed with such a construction.
If these were humans, it would have taken more than twice the construction period.
“You can carry them even faster if you bring some Ogres from the Demons, but before that however, a stone throwing match will surely begin among them first.”
“……I thought of borrowing some Demons who are confident in their abilities by talking to Beatrice, but it looks like it was better not to”
I discarded what I planned in my mind immediately upon hearing what Glinnis had said.
Since our speed is already faster than normal, let’s give priority to safety instead.
“Yep, good choice. It’s better not to call the rough guys to……Kyaa!”
Glinnis lost her footing in the middle of the trail, then almost fall down.
The good thing is she was able to keep her balance with her feet, but the other end is a river.
And because she desperately balanced herself, she made quite the stomp on the water, causing it to splash to her body in a big way.
“Glinnis, are you alright?”
I extended my hand, in which she grabbed, then I lifted her at the bank.
“I’m okay, but……Uheeee, it’s so cold”
She didn’t sustain any injuries but water has entered through her clothes.
Those objects that gave as little cover as possible are now wet with water, thus it made them cling to her skin more.
Speaking frankly, I was excited by this, but I immediately understood that this is her aim as well.
“……You, that was intentional, isn’t it?”
“Eeh, what are you talking about? That aside, do you have towel or anything of that sort?”
She, pretending not to know talked to the Elf guide, who responded in a panic.
“Y-yes! I’ll prepare it right away!”
The elf ran at an incredible speed, but I didn’t miss him seeing Glinnis getting wet.
“Ahahahaha, Ae you jealous?”
I wonder if this is her aim too, or was it not?
Glinnis asked as if making fun of me.
“No way, you’re a succubus after all, so I won’t be surprised if you take a man once I take my eyes off you”
I said so to feign my feelings, but I know she’s already aware of my little jealousy.
If this was the castle, then I might have taken her to a suitable room.
“Fuuuhn, is that so……”
This was Glinnis, who has led a lot of men by the nose.
My feelings of today might have been exposed to her already.
However, there’s still no sign of advancement from her.
Still, It’s convenient for me. I’ll just pretend not to know while I continue my inspection.
Even so, it’s not a good idea to leave this wet Glinnis alone.
“Hey, put this on”
I took off my jacket and passed it to her.
“Fufuu, thank you”
She came closer, and wore it upon receiving.
At the same time, an elf with a towel and cloak came over.
Glinnis received the towel from him and wiped her body, then upon wearing the cloak, we continued our inspection on the site.
She tempted me several times after that, but I managed to survive and finish it safely.
“Fuuu, I managed to get though……”
I sighed. I finished hearing all the reports, then after that I went back on horseback, finally reaching the castle.
What I understood in the inspection is that the construction is proceeding smoothly.
It was good, however I could not focus very much because of Glinnis’ series of temptations during that.
“Uuun, I thought I would be taken down to a nearby grassy field and get pushed all the way”
“That’s not gonna happen. First, there are no grass fields that two adults can hide here”
“Fufufu, I don’t mind being seen too……”
“Still no. I will not lose my reason here”
First, if we did it while they are working, my credibility will surely fall.
I am not in a position to act such a fool anymore.
While talking various things with Glinnis, we finally reached the castle.
I put back my horse and went inside. Glinnis followed.
I finally reached o my office, but she still didn’t leave my side, even a bit.
“So, what do you want me to do?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Embrace me. I don’t like being left out”
She’s usually not conscious of other women, but is the topic of getting pregnant really that different?
Still, it’s a pleasure to be asked to do so.
And since I have just finished my important matters for today, it’s fine to let out a hand, wouldn’t it?
Such thoughts were born all too soon, trying to erode my head as I resisted.
Still, since I had already embraced Erune before this, the hurdles in my heart has lowered too.
Thus, I began losing to my own desire, reaching out to Glinnis in one go.
