137 Information Officer Visi (1/2)

–Aegir POV–

We are on the way back to Rafen from the Malt Kingdom with the steel weapon and farming horses given to us as thank you presents, as well as the large amount of alcohol, which couldn't all be packed on the wagon. Rafen is closer to the Malt Kingdom than to the capital of Goldonia.

「I'm glad there weren't any casualties this time.」

「Yeah, we were fighting so much after all.」

「Hahaha, and we didn't bring any girls along either.」

「...」

Celia goes silent and Catherine bumps her head against my back. What? I didn't make anyone into my lover.

「Say that after you look at your feet.」

「Those girls just wanted to visit Rafen so I let them come on, besides I don't remember making them my lovers.」

Two women are riding on the wagon. They are from the same village and want to work away from home while depending on their relatives living in Rafen so I let them ride with me.

「Even though they look like that?」

Catherine mutters. It's true the girls are naked and breathing roughly. Not to mention their legs are spread apart and my offspring is flowing out from their crotches.

「It was done under mutual consent.」

They told me to 'do as I please' with a blushing face and everything.

「There's no woman who would refuse Aegir-sama licking their ears or pleasuring their entire body! 」

The unexpected part was that both girls were virgins. If they had told me, I would have been more gentle.

「Uuah...」「Oouu...」

I pat their heads and they smile happily. Since their holes have been stretched so far, they can't walk properly for awhile. I hope they go back to normal when we arrive in Rafen.

When we reach Rafen, we enter the mansion and see the servants running around. I'm sure we gave them notice before our arrival so they should have had plenty of time to prepare to greet us, but something seems amiss.

「What happened?」

「R-right! Actually-」

I can then hear shouting which drowns out the maid's voice.

「There's one over here too! Someone lend me a hand!」

「There's no enough hot water! Bring some more!」

The loud yelling flies from place to place as the servants scurry about. It almost makes the place seem like a field hospital. I guess I'll check out what's going on.

Everyone's destination appears to be the annex where the so-called harem is living. Walking along the passage, a maid holding a cloth runs from behind us with incredible speed.

「Feudal lord-sama! Excuse me-!」

After bowing once, she runs past me. Celia was about to rebuke her, but restrained herself after feeling the maid's sense of urgency.

「Aah...I guess it's about that time.」

（Big trouble, big trouble, what to do, big trouble.）

Casie is confused and flying around in a figure-eight pattern. Ah, she bumped into a pillar and fell down. Her face was indented, so she's fixing it with her hands.1

「Let me lend a hand.」

「Eh? Feudal lord-sama!? How could I be so- 」「It's fine, so hand it to me.」

I take the entire tub of clean water the maid was about to carry and lift it to its destination. At that location, I can see the furiously vigorous work of the midwife.

Apparently, the 20 girls living in the annex are going into labor. Of course, it wasn't everyone all at once, but they were impregnated on the same day during the orgy after being saved from the goblins. So their delivery dates will inevitably overlap.

「The one over there is fine, only the delivery is left. Watch this one carefully, let me know if there's a lot of blood! Be quick with the sanitary cloth, and bring more if you can.」

「Are there any in danger of losing their lives?」

「Feudal lord-sama, no, everyone is doing pretty well in their deliveries.」

Considering that, there are many voices that sound like they're suffering though.

「It hurts, it hurts–!! I'm dying!!」

「Bear with it! You're a woman, aren't you!」

「Where should I put this...er...uwa, it's here for me too!」

「Another one is going into labor!!」

「Alice! Don't play with your ass and boil the water!」

「I put it in up to my wrist and now I can't pull it out...」

「Even though it's like this, everyone will still have a safe delivery. All the births so far are ones that made me underestimate women.」

「Well, that's good. If there is anyone in trouble, don't hesitate to use the medicine.」

「Yes, that helps a lot!!」

After that, it only took a day for all 20 of them to give birth, and fortunately all mothers came out unscathed and not one of them suffered miscarriages or stillbirths.

「For all 20 to give birth to healthy babies...」

The midwife sounds shocked.

「Isn't that good? There's nothing to complain about if all of them are healthy.」

「Of course that's the case, but...is it perhaps due to the grace of the feudal lord-sama's thing?」

Usually, giving birth is a life-threatening event, and it's normal for 10% of children and mothers to die. So that's why she's surprised the 20 mothers and children are still lively. The help of this older woman also played a huge role in that, so I'll present her with a special reward.

「I'm grateful for the reward, but is it alright to request something?」

「Yeah, anything you want.」

The older woman then brings a woman in her late 20's. She wasn't the prettiest girl but she's got a gentle and calm atmosphere about her.

「This is my daughter.」

「Fumu.」

She has a large belly, so she's probably already in her last month of pregnancy.

「Please pardon me.」

As the girl finishes her sentence, she opens the front of my pants and takes out my dick. I don't think it's possible to fuck a pregnant woman with this, or they'll suffer a miscarriage.

「Please, somehow let a healthy child to be born...」

But the girl strokes the exposed member while expressing her wish.

「Please pray more seriously. You will definitely bear a healthy child.」

It looks like this is what the midwife wanted. My dick isn't some spirit which guarantees safe birth though.

「Please, I pray that I am granted with a healthy child.」

I have no power over that, but if she'll be satisfied from stroking my dick, I'll let her do it as much as she wants.

And so a strange rumor was circulating around the city, in which pregnant women would come and stroke my cock whenever I went out to do inspections. I can't do anything like pounce on the pregnant women if I get aroused. It's unavoidable, but I'll have to enjoy them secretly after their births.

「Adolph, 20 children have been born so I want to expand the annex a little more.」

「...」

With that, things are looking good.

「So this is a clump of steel, it's the first time I'm seeing something like this.」

Along the city walls of Rafen, the caravan of merchants from the Flitch Company have fully loaded a wagon with as much weight it can carry with the iron taken from the recently operating mine. And although there is only a small amount, there is some steel as well.

「We wouldn't have had an opportunity to see it if we didn't have blacksmiths. But this is undoubtedly a chunk of steel. 」

Exporting iron ore from Rafen doesn't make much money, barely going in the red, but refining it into a chunk really seems to change the situation. There are already facilities constructed near the mine which turns the rocks into iron.

「Production is limited now but as soon as the blast furnace is completed, the amount supplied would increase by several times. In fact, it is more worrying that there may not be enough miners to dig out the material or wagons to carry it.」

The wood used as fuel to produce iron is carried from the surrounding villages to Rafen and iron is packed on the wagons on their way back. As expected of a merchant, the wagons are used in an efficient manner.

「Iron manufacturing...it takes quite the skill to do it, but we have the necessary human resources.」

「The crucial thing is to use the craftsmen we have, but the people who live there...the fire nation? We will hire them and have them work. In any case, they are so poor they are willing to kill a child to eat, so even if they get paid a little less or work a little harder... 「Ahem, ahem.」

Laurie coughs behind Claire. Don't go too far now.

「I have heard the price of iron in the capital has risen. I'm sure the profits will be big as well. 」

Adolph chimes in as well. Normally, the feudal lord would apply tax to the renting of the mine and the shipping of finished products, but everything from the construction of the mining town to the acquiring of human resources is handled by Claire so she needs some concession.

The wood fuel, the personal expenses and the wagon expenses will be deducted, and tax will be levied according to the ”increased profit”. In other words, when she profits, we will also gain a cut.

「Oh my, ufufu. It won't be like that, since it may be a huge loss.」

「Also, there will be a thorough examination before summer.」

Sparks fly between Adolph and Claire. By the way, I was made to promise to entrust this entire matter to Adolph. It appears he couldn't bear to have a reduction of tax every time Claire swings her hips on top of me.

In the middle of organizing the ranks in preparation to set out to the capital, a single girl peeks out from a wagon and takes note of something.

「What's that...?」

Celia and her sharp senses also seem to have realized it.

「Is it a spy? I'll capture it.」

Jumping off her horse, she instantly accelerates as soon as she touches the ground, and by the time the other person turned around to look at her, Celia already closed the distance.

「!!」

Before the girl could open her mouth, Celia circled behind her and put a knife to her throat.

「Don't move, if you aren't cooperative, I'll slit your throat.」

It was impressive skill on Celia's part, and as expected, there is no one who can match her when it comes to speed.

「Unhand me, you incompetent fool! I am Goldonia's...」

「Yeah whatever, just come!」

The girl shouts and glares at Celia as she is dragged and brought in front of me.

「Let go of me! I'm an honorary Knight of Goldonia and Information Officer, Rebecca Blaze! I won't tolerate any rudeness!」

「Let her go, Celia.」

Celia is yet to fully believe what she said, but releases the girl on my order as I step forward.

「I'm Hardlett, can you prove your identity?」

The girl looks surprised for a second but reaches a hand into her bosom and reveals a document with the royal seal on it.

「Behold.」

Her name and status of 'information officer' are certainly written on the document. Fumu, it seems like the real thing.

「Right. My subordinate has done you wrong.」

Celia gets dispirited and seems to shrink. Don't worry about it too much.

「But if you let me know you were coming, I could have made some preparations.」

An honorary rank is a rank attached only to the person it's granted to, which means she can't make a family or have anyone inherit the status, so I only have to treat her individually as a noble. I should also be treated as a noble, but since there is such a big difference between our ranks, I don't pay much attention to it.

「No, well...I couldn't do that...」
