What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company? - Chapter 456

Chapter 456: What Is Amber Doing Secretly?
Ok, so between pulling Ries away from the floor and stopping the three girls from kicking the guy to death… I somehow managed to do both and sit everyone down at the table again.

Well… Mostly…

The two guys were made to kneel on the ground at the table even though the other guy technically didn’t do anything aside from being there.

I guess we could just say he was just unlucky.

The self appointed leader guy however, was being held in the kneeling position by two of the girls while Lanos picked up a spoon and prepared to shove it in his mouth.

“Open up, you idiot! Time to see just how big of a travesty you committed by spilling that food that was so generously offered to you!!”

Despite being kicked by the girls just now, the guy still stubbornly refused to open his mouth and tried to turn away.

The two girls holding him down were obviously not amused by his defiance and both of them kicked him in the abdomen to force his mouth open, allowing Lanos to shove the spoon into his mouth.

He tried to spit it out but the two girls at his sides immediately held his mouth closed and forced the stew to remain inside his mouth.

The guy struggled for a moment before he suddenly stopped, his eyes going wide.

Then… He started to chew, his jaw moving slowly.

The two girls seemed to be satisfied with that and released him, allowing him to taste the stew on his own.

They then shifted their gaze to the second guy who flinched back when he saw them looking at him but at least he didn’t try to run.

In fact, he even obediently opened his mouth so that Lanos could feed him the stew.

He made a disgusted face at first but then when he actually started to taste it, he also froze up like the first guy before he started chewing as well.

Then, as if a switch had been flipped, they swivelled to look at the girls.

“What… What is this?! Why is it so good?!”

“More… Please! I need more of it!”

Oh good, I was still afraid that one of them might actually think it didn’t taste that good at all.

Hey, I know that there’s nothing to suggest that my cooking might actually be bad but I believe that the day I think ‘it’s normal that whatever I make will taste good’ is the day where my cooking will start declining.

I know full well the effects of reaching a certain position and resting on your laurels thinking that you can’t be taken down anymore. After all… I did get laid off from my position despite how high it was in the company’s hierarchy in my original universe.

Complacency is no good, ok?

Who knows? Maybe this whole entire thing is just a dream to me where I’m stuck in a coma after the incident with my VR Capsule and I’m just stuck in some hospital while dreaming about all this.

Obviously I would prefer that wasn’t the case here but you never know. The only thing you can ever be sure of is your own self. I think, therefore I am.

…

Why does it feel like I would have an identity crisis the more I think about it?

Ahem… Anyway…

It seems like Lanos was really liking the look on those two guys because her demeanor suddenly changed when she saw them begging for more.

“Huhu… You want more? Do you think you deserve more?” She asked, crossing her arms and jerking her chin up so that she was looking down on them.

The two guys froze up, especially the one who had proclaimed himself as the leader of the group.

No doubt they were remembering how they had treated her earlier and what they had done while we were trying to get them to taste my food so they were pretty clear that they didn’t deserve it.

But obviously they weren’t going to just back down like that so they clasped their hands together as though in prayer.

“Please… I know I was out of line… I was completely stupid and entirely ignorant… I promise I won’t do it again… Please grant me this mercy…”

“Me… Me too… I apologise for what I’ve said to you all… I was definitely in the wrong… Please just allow me another taste of this…”

Lanos’s lips curled up into a sadistic smile, “Oh, what should I do?”

She then lifted her foot and placed it on the chair before jerking her chin at them, “Maybe if you were good pets and licked my foot, I might just think about it?”

The two guys seemed like they were about to agree when Amber went up and smacked the girl in the back of the head, causing her to let out a yelp of surprise and pain before stumbling forward.

She spun around to see who hit her and I could see her face freeze up when she realised it was Amber.

Amber crossed her arms and huffed, “Who the fuck do you think you are acting all high and mighty over here like you made this? Who made this food?”

“Her div– I mean… The Captain of this ship… Captain Tera…”

“And are you really trying to use what she has given to all of us to try and claim superiority over someone else like you were responsible for it?”

“N… No… Forgive me…”

“Hmph… I’m not the one you should be asking for forgiveness now, right?”

Lanos immediately made a dash towards me and slid into a kneeling position before literally slamming her head on the ground in front of me in a prostrating position, making me jump a little from the unexpected action.

“Please forgive me Captain Tera!! I got too carried away! I will never do it again! Please allow me to atone for this!!”

What the fuck did Amber even tell you?

I looked at Amber and she was beaming at me with her chest puffed up in pride.

Right… You know you’re also being a hypocrite in this case, right? Amber?

You definitely used my cooking to get them in line didn’t you? So you kind of did what Lanos was trying to do to those two guys anyway…

Yet there you are looking proud of it for some reason.

You’re so lucky I love you and that you’re so, so hot otherwise… Actually, no, I’m still going to punish you later, just you wait.

“It’s alright, you can get back up… Just err… Do things moderately ok? Anyway, just let those two eat already. They didn’t even eat lunch did they? They must be hungry already and it’s not good for the food to get cold,” I admonished them.

…

…

Ok, so this is really weird.

After I said that, Lanos raised her head and she had a look of gratitude on her face which I totally understand why.

Those other two girls were also looking at me with gratitude which I could chalk it up to them being thankful that I was forgiving their friend and colleague.

But then what I don’t understand was why Amber was looking at me like she was also really thankful like I just did something for her? That’s why I’m confused about that.

Then there’s those two guys who were looking at me like they saw a miracle…

I’m just going to see myself out now so that I don’t need to deal with this…

“I’ll err… Go check on Lea if she wants seconds… You girls and guys can finish up without me, ok?”

Amber waved at me, “Don’t worry, Tera! I’ll take good care of them! You can count on it!”

You are literally the last person I trust to be able to deal with them properly right now…

“Mara?” I asked, looking at the doctor who had been watching the entire thing at the side silently.

She chuckled, “Fufu~ Don’t worry, Captain. I’ll make sure that Amber doesn’t go overboard.”

Amber huffed, “Hey?! What do you mean by that?! I never did anything weird!”

Both Mara and I didn’t answer her and I simply picked up another serving of the stew and left the kitchen to head to the bridge.

As soon as the door closed behind me however, I heard some heavy thumping and I paused at the door and strained my ear to try and listen in on what was happening.

“Priestess… Forgive… I didn’t mean…”

“Must believe… Miracle…”

“What… You are… Why is…”

“Prepare… Be part of…”

“I believe…”

What the heck are they talking about?

I almost wanted to turn back around and head back inside the dining room once more just to check what they were doing but a sudden chill went up my spine and for some inexplicable reason, I had a feeling that I would regret it if I did that.

I decided to just trust my instincts and simply turned around and left instead.

Seriously though… What the heck are they doing?
