Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 86 New Problems (1)

?

When we woke up in the morning, I found that both of the girls were still with me in bed.

Both of them were cuddling up against me in my arms.

For once, they chose to stay in bed with me instead of rushing off to take care of their duties.

When I stirred, both of them also stirred.

They both rubbed their eyes and looked up at me before revealing smiles.

Seeing the two of them like this, I just couldn't control the feelings that filled my heart.

I placed a kiss on both of their foreheads before saying, "I love you."

The way that I said it made it clear that this was said for both of them.

When they heard this, their faces couldn't help filling with a blush as well since this was the first time that they had experienced this. In their previous marriages, neither of them had experienced this kind of sweet love before.

This sweet love filled their hearts with a warm feeling that they both loved.

They looked up at me at the same time and then said together, "I love you too."

The three of us just stayed there in each other's arms, lying there and enjoying the feeling of being with one another.

But in the end, we had no choice but to get up and work.

There was still a destroyed town that needed to be fixed.

…

The work over the next few weeks was quite hard, but it was very rewarding.

The three of us held high positions in this town and that included me now that I had the support of the powerful knights and soldiers.

The ones that had gone out and seen my bravery were the strongest knights and soldiers in this barony. They were special picked by Cecilia for their strength since it would be a suicide mission charging into the monster wave like that otherwise.

So with the support of these strongest knights and soldiers, my position as the baron had greatly stabilized.

I was even able to help Baroness Rose with many of the things that she would have done herself.

Especially since the kingdom's government had even sent an official notice accepting me as the new baron.

Neither Baroness Rose or I knew how that even happened until we met the priest. It turned out that he had arranged this for us.

I couldn't help being surprised after finding this out.

It seemed that this priest had quite a bit of influence in the kingdom's government. Not to mention that he was a powerful magician as seen by all the spells he had cast fighting the monster wave.

So why was someone like this assigned to a small barony like this?

There had to be another reason for his being here.

But he didn't tell me anything. In fact, he still hadn't told me what the Mark of God was.

So I couldn't figure it out.

The envoy handed me a piece of paper that certified me as the new baron and as Baroness Rose's husband, which allowed me to do many things.

Things that would have taken Baroness Rose's signature before could now take my signature. Of course, I couldn't sign for many of the big things since the title was still hers, but it allowed me to do many things to help her.

That was important since there were many things to handle as the town rebuilt itself.

Luckily it was still summer, so the weather cooperated with us and we were able to get many things ready before the fall harvest.

But when the fall harvest came, there was a problem that arrived.

One day, in the middle of the fall harvest, I went to Baroness Rose's office to handle something. When I came in, I found not just her, but also Cecilia sitting there with knitted brows and worried looks on their faces.

It was obvious that there was something bothering them.

So I went over and teased, "If you keep making those faces, they will get stuck that way."

They both looked at me with narrowed eyes.

I could easily tell that neither of them were in a mood for a joke, but that also was a testament to how far our relationship had developed.

We had become like an old couple that could tease each other without worry, even though it wasn't a couple, but rather a throuple.

Seeing the way that they looked at me, I raised my hands in defeat and asked, "What's wrong?"

Both of them looked at me for a bit before giving sighs.

They just both sat there in silence as if they were mulling over something. Neither of them seemed like they were going to answer my question.

So I asked in a more firm voice, "I can't help if you don't tell me what's wrong. So, what's wrong?"

They looked at me again, but this time they looked at me differently. There was a bit of adoration seeing me take charge like this, but they weren't surprised.

After all, I had taken charge quite a bit when we were in bed.

This time, Baroness Rose took a stack of paper that she handed to me before saying, "See for yourself."

I took this stack of papers from her and carefully looked over them. I found that this was a report on the farming area and the harvest that had been collected.

It didn't seem like there was anything off about it at first until I realized that there was an overhanging problem here.

There was a lack of food.

It wasn't because there was a bad harvest or something like that, it was rather because of the monster wave.

Before the monster waves had arrived in town, they had swept across the lands of the barony making their way towards the town. As they swept across the land, they moved across quite a bit of farmland.

The people had been evacuated, but the farmland had been destroyed by the monsters.

That was the cause of the lack of food.
