My Yandere Succubus Daughter is Mommy-Warrior's Natural Enemy

Volume 1: Chapter 21-30

[Chapter 21]

At dinner, I looked at Veirya opposite me and told her, “That sale was a poor decision.”

Although Veirya very decisively sold the food to Lucia, and I couldn’t even stop her, I needed to explain to her that we cannot do business based on emotions.

‘The entire north is suffering a famine right now, and everybody is struggling to survive. Selling food now is just plain retarded. I think that only Veirya would make such a weird deal. This town won’t be able to trade if she continues like this.’

“When we adventured together, we shared the food.” Veirya lowered her head with a nonchalant expression to have a mouthful of meat stew. She then added, “Food, just buy more.”

“The problem is, where are we going to buy it from…?”

Veirya titled her head with puzzlement while looking at me and said, “You don’t know the way? I’ll lead the way when you go.”

I face-palmed myself since I had no way of speaking to Veirya like this.

‘Veirya doesn’t get it at all.’

I took in a deep breath and explained, “The entire north is suffering a famine, right now. Even if we were to go to that city, they might not be willing to sell to us. Moreover, the transporting process comes with great risk. Who can say for sure what the people will do? Our town had enough food, but now, in the blink of an eye, all of the townsfolk have become victims as well… if there’s no food that is.”

Veirya looked at me calmly and after a moment of silence asked, “Did I do something wrong?”

“… All right, as long as you understand…”

“But I don’t feel that I did anything wrong. Helping your comrades is an honourable thing to do. Lucilia is my closest comrade as well. I can’t just sit and watch.”

“The problem is that Lucia is no longer the Lucia of the past anymore…”

“Has Lucia changed?”

“No… I’m talking about her standpoint… Lucia is an elf now.”

“Wasn’t she an elf back then, too?”

Okay, it doesn’t look like Veirya has spotted Lucia’s problem.

Leah, who was seated to the side looked at her with a horrified expression. Although Lucia treats Leah very well, and Leah doesn’t view her hostilely, she gets scared as soon as their warrior team was mentioned.

I placed my hand gently on Leah’s hand and curled it up to calm her down.

I then followed up by asking, “Veirya, do you not sense that there’s a problem with Lucia?”

“What problem does she have?”

It didn’t seem like Veirya even considered Lucia’s problem. She dipped her bread in the meat-stew, then picked up a string of meat on the table and put it in her mouth. While chewing she continued, “Lucilia is a very upright warrior. She’s a very skilled archer. I can trust her with the rear. Lucilia is really cute, too. If possible, I’d like to continue living with her as well.”

“… I don’t really get why you want to continue living with cute girls, but that’s not the point here. Veirya, there’s a very obvious, very large problem with Lucia buying food this time, because the money she prepared was spot on. That indicates that she had researched the market price before bringing enough money here. Further, she, alone, doesn’t need that much food. Why would she transport this food back home? It’s clear that she’s buying it to take back to the elven lands, but we don’t know why she did that.”
