Extra Chapter 2 Part 5

Translator: Michiko

“Oh, my goodness. Lord, are you eating here today?”

The owner of the cafeteria, who was serving meals, noticed Gio and called out to him.

“No, my wife brought me a lunch box. I came to borrow a picnic blanket so we could eat outside together.

“Oh my! So this person here is…?”

“My wife, Reiru.”

“I am Reiru. Nice to meet you──”

“Oh my, Reiru-sama, thank you so much for coming to such a shabby place! You seem like a very kind person… Rumors really can’t be trusted, can they?

Lutwald did not follow the couple any further, but ate lunch in the cafeteria and returned to his office.

The Lord, who usually exudes a beauty so regal as to give the impression of ruthlessness, smiled sweetly at his companion as if he had transformed from a winter general into a beautiful spring goddess. Gio’s appearance that day was described in such a dramatic way that it became the talk of the troop for some time.

Gio returned to his office in the afternoon with a nonchalant look on his face, clearly in good spirits. Since the mind inevitably slows down in the afternoon, all important work is done in the morning. This seems to be Gio’s approach, but today, even in the afternoon, his speed in doing his work did not slow down, and his remarks were sharp.

“You are doing very well even though it’s already afternoon, Gio.”

“Yes. I took a little nap and now my mind is refreshed.”

When I teased him, Gio replied nonchalantly.

Was it the effect of the nap with Reiru or the surprise lunch date? Whatever the case, Reiru is certainly the source of Gio’s energy.

Since that day, Reiru has been visiting the Beastmasters’ barracks from time to time, bringing a lunch box with him.

“Gio-sama is flirting with a man in the garden.”

“That’s probably Gio-sama’s companion.”

“Gio-sama asked his companion to feed him with his mouth wide open.”

“No wonder, they’re newlyweds.”

“Finally, they began to lie down together and take naps. Moreover, Gio-sama kept looking at his companion’s sleeping face.”

“I can see he’s deeply in love with him.”

Lutwald was pleased to hear Asami say during their chat that such conversations seemed to be taking place all over the barracks on the day of Reiru’s visit. The beastmen’s territory is a land with a strong culture that values relationships between family and friends. Gio’s affectionate demeanor will be well received by both the troops and the citizens.

It is not necessary for a lord to be loved by his subjects. It is better to be feared than to be disrespected. But whatever the reason, he must be someone his subjects seek out. Known as a strong man, Gio still enjoys a good deal of support from the citizens at this point.

(That said, well, it’s better to be loved than not to be loved.)

With this in mind, Lutwald, as a supporter of the lord of the beastmen’s territory and as Gio’s friend, made various arrangements to ensure that Gio would be called a good lord.

Even after the newlywed period, the couple remained intimate with each other. Gio’s affection for his wife has become common knowledge among the members of the beastmen troop and is also widely known among the people of the territory.

He is a dignified lord who leads his troops as bravely as a mythical god of war in times of need while maintaining a solid territorial government. When in the presence of his wife, he shows an opening of human weakness that the troops look upon with love and respect, and the people love him even as they tease him.
