Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 320 Punishment (1)



After settling this matter, there wasn't anything left to discuss.

Since they would be heading out tomorrow morning, then it was better to get an early night's sleep.

But it was anything but an early night's sleep for me.

I was trapped in the bedroom by these three girls…

After we dispersed, I followed Rose to our bedroom.

We just sat there in silence for a bit before the doors opened and two figures came in.

It was Cecilia and Haley.

When the two of them came in, they sat down on the bed with Rose. The three of them just sat there staring at me, making me uncomfortable since I had no idea what was happening.

In the end, I couldn't help saying, "Did I do something wrong?"

Both Rose and Cecilia just sat there without doing anything since both of them didn't know what was happening either.

They had just been told to gather by Haley and while Zwein had been talking with Scar and Shaka.

So they honestly had no idea what to do.

But Haley took charge by asking, "Do you really not know what you've done?"

The moment that I heard this, I couldn't help jolting.

What had I done?

I had no idea at all, but Haley said this in such a firm voice that it seemed like she was certain that I had done something wrong.

So just what did I do wrong?

After taking a moment to think about it, I decided on what to do…

Not to worry about it and just apologize first!

If I apologized late, it would just hurt me instead of helping me. So I would apologize even if I didn't know what I did wrong to avoid suffering more later.

I quickly bowed my head and said, "I'm sorry."

However, Rose and Cecilia just revealed even more confused looks. Haley on the other hand just looked at me with a calm look on her face, as if she wasn't moved by this display at all.

Haley just crossed her arms and calmly said, "It's fine, there's no need to apologize since you already did it earlier."

I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this.

If I had apologized, then why did she still bring this matter up?

Unless…?

Haley then just continued by saying, "I've already said that I would punish you, so it's time for that now."

But before she could do anything, Rose and Cecilia suddenly stopped her by asking, "What did he do this time?"

Haley stopped herself from standing up and turned to say, "He's been keeping secrets from us again."

The moment that the two of them heard this, they narrowed their eyes to look at me like they were blaming me as well.

But I also realized what she was talking about when she mentioned this.

She was talking about the fact that I had kept why I knew so much about dwarves a secret.

However, it wasn't as if I could talk about this!

After all, it was related to one of my greatest secrets!

But in the first place, it was very unlikely that anyone would believe me even if I were to tell them this secret.

Reincarnated from another world?

Who would believe that?

Well, there were plenty of people in my old world that would believe this, but not in this world…

So I really couldn't say anything…

I just bowed my head and resigned myself to my fate.

Seeing this, the three of them suddenly got off the bed and started making their way closer to me.

But before they could reach me, I suddenly thought of something that I had to say.

So I looked up and said, "Wait, before you punish me, let me say one thing."

All three of them were confused by this, but they did stop moving towards me and looked at me as if they were waiting for me to speak.

Since they gave me this chance, I explained to them what I had talked to Scar and Shaka about.

After they were done listening, Haley suddenly gave a nod and said, "Not bad, you already took care of this."

I looked up at her and saw that she had a happy look on her face which made me let out a secret sigh of relief.

Haley then continued by saying, "I had already considered this matter, but I was planning on dealing with this after we had secured the mithril. However, since you've already taken care of it, that's even better."

Haley gave a nod and then said, "The king and a duke, there can't be a better group to rely on when it comes to this matter."

I let out a sigh of relief again when I heard her say this.

It seemed like she really was happy about this matter.

But then I couldn't help asking, "Then would it be better if we got the other dukes to join us as well?"

This could technically be done with the power of Shadow Garden, though it would take a bit of work. But if it could distract her, what was a bit of work?

However, Haley shook her head as she said, "No, too many cooks in the kitchen is not effective. If we add another duke in, we'll have to balance the benefits of the two dukes and that will hurt us. Just the duke and the king are enough since they are far enough in rank that their benefits won't conflict."

I gave an understanding nod to this.

It was as she said, if there were too many people, we would have too many things to worry about.

It was better to have just a few backers that were powerful instead of many different powerful backers.

What I was most relieved about was that Haley seemed distracted because of this…

But then she suddenly said, "Of course, that's a matter for tomorrow. Tonight, you're still going to be punished."

I couldn't help giving a gulp when I heard this.
