Manpower Agency 25.1

Chapter 25.1 – A Little Play Date and Slave’s Nest

It’s morning and I wake up slowly to the gentle sunlight shining on my bed.

A servant, sensing I’m awake, comes over and carefully tends to my hair.

I drink warm tea and wash my face with a basin of lukewarm water.

This is very different from the battlefield.

I don’t dislike the days when I was awakened by the ground shaking magic attack of the enemy while being smeared with smoke.

At dawn, I already burned down the enemies, hid under corpses, and slept while dancing my heart out of the plan I presented that the general described as “impossible”.

The battlefield is as straight as ever.

Whether you are a general or a slave, you either live or die.

However, I’m going to build a family of my own in the near future so I think it’s better to forget about my time as a colonel.

TN: Just don’t mind her rank and you’ll be fine.

「Should I show a little more of my chest?」

「Laura-sama, that’s enough.」

「I’ll just show a little more.」

I’m using a trendy knitted bra to make an even more showy cleavage.

My uselessly large breasts are the cause of my trouble for not being able to wear general-purpose armor but it is now a useful weapon when it comes to love affairs.

Even my l.i.t.t.l.e. h.u.s.b.a.n.d. is glancing at them from time to time.

But it seems like he prefers my firm ass more.

His hot gaze on me when we’re together, should I tell him that I know about it?

「Hey, Mion, my husband will glance at my ass from behind, should I tell him that I know he’s staring at them?」

「Laura-sama, you shouldn’t.」

Mion has served our family since my mother’s generation so I could say that she’s a veteran. If she says I shouldn’t, she’s probably right.

It can’t be helped.

However, if he dares look at another woman’s ass, should I step on him?

「I’ll just tie my belt a little higher.」

「That’s acceptable.」

The play we’re going to watch today seems to be “war stuff”.

It seems to be a story about a genius warlord who came from another world and made his inferior country triumph with his wisdom…..what was that?

「He’s here.」

「Ah, I’ll be right there.」

When I walked out of the front door, I saw Sawadi-kun standing there, dressed in clothes not much different from those he wears at school.

He was a head shorter than me and looked like a man of medium height and medium build from a painting.

He had a noble-like face but he was not particularly well-shaped or anything like that.

In short, he’s an incredibly normal man.

I never thought that the day when I would go on a date with such a normal man would come.

I always thought that I’m going to die on the battlefield.

「Ah, Laura-san, good morning.」

「Yeah, good morning.」

Mou, he’s got bed hair.

Didn’t anyone from his family tell him?

「You’ve got a bed hair.」

「Haa」

I touch his head and tell him but he’s like, “What’s wrong with that?”.

Well, that’s how men are.

「How about now?」

「You are pretty dexterous, aren’t you?」

He used magic to heat up his fingers and use it to straighten his hair. It’s a precise magic control that even a teacher would lose face.

If he could do the same while using offensive magic, he would have become a very useful artillery commander.

No, I shouldn’t think about that.

If that would have happened, we would have never met.

We got in the city using the carriage he rode to my house and headed to the theater.

He’s enthusiastically telling me the story behind today’s play but I can’t concentrate because of a sweet smell peculiar to a young man wafts next to me.

I ended up closing the space between us.

I’m touching his hair on the opposite side where I am sitting while looking at him in amusement.

My l.i.t.t.l.e. h.u.s.b.a.n.d., who’s trying to desperately avert his gaze from my cleavage by looking at the wall or outside the window is quite adorable…..

I was tempted to take him somewhere else instead of the theater but I held back.

I don’t want to be seen as a vulgar woman.

『In other words, given this formation, the number of allies who can fight is greater than that of the enemy. Let’s call this the Narrow Road Eradication Formation.』

『Ohhh! This is a work of a genius!』

『Amazing!』

『Amazing!』

『Amazing!』

『Amazing!』

『Amazing!』

『Amazing!』

『Please stop. I’m only stating the obvious that anyone would notice.』

『How humble!』

『Amazing!』

『Amazing!』

『Amazing!』

『Amazing!』

『Amazing!』

『Amazing!』

He and the other audience were shouting 『Amazing!』along with the performers.

In that situation, why not just hold the front line using dead soldiers and carpet bomb the rear?

I can’t imagine a world without magic.

I quite enjoyed the drama of military and politics in which the summoned otherworlder protagonist rises in ranks but if you ask me, the key military strategies are full of holes.

Well, I don’t know if I should water down his enjoyment.

Thus, I’ll just say 『Amazing!』along with him.

『Amazing!』

Ah, your smile is pretty cute.
