Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

45 – A typhoon is coming

Everyone has tasted blood at least once. That taste full of iron, like licking iron with your tongue, which is unique to blood.

The girl’s blood I drank was so sweet that it couldn’t be compared to any other sweets. It was incomparable to the sweet drinks I had in my previous life.

So I licked the lady’s fingers like a puppy. Yes it can be…

But all you had to do was lick her finger with your tongue, why did you bite and suck it, you stupid bastard…

If I had kicked off the blanket, I would have reached the moon, and my face would be indistinguishable even if I put a tomato next to it.

Even though it was an awkward atmosphere for a while, the sweet taste of the lady’s blood still lingered in my mouth, and I struggled to resist the craving to drink more.

Turning her head slightly, I looked at the young lady, who, like me, was covering her face with her hands. I couldn’t see the girl’s face closely in the moonlight illuminated by the slight crescent moon, but she was probably as red as mine.

The young lady mustered up her courage and showed me her blood and made me drink it. After a little while, such a lady was realizing what she had done.

I almost forgot the taste of the blood that lingered in my mouth at that cute figure. And even at the cost of my shame, it is our servant’s duty to protect the honor of the owner.

“My lady, I’m fine now.”

I showed the young lady the usual smile. Even if my face was wrinkled thinking of me licking and sucking her fingers until just a moment ago, I erased my thoughts diligently for the sake of the young lady.

At my words, the young lady hid her flushed face and showed her blue eyes softly between her fingers.

“…Really?”

I nodded a couple of times at the question that echoed through my hand-covered mouth.

“Yes, much better than before.”

Is it because of some kind of magic, or because he really drank blood? Unlike before, the fragrance of the young lady did not feel stimulating.

It’s just fragrant, that’s all. Rather, the collection of sweat shed while moving with me came behind the sweet scent.

“Then…That’s a relief. Really, I don’t know who to carry a pocket knife for.”

“hahahaha…I will, indeed…”

I don’t know how long I’ll have to be a blood-craving slave. How long will I have to receive and drink your blood?

Wouldn’t it be nice to ask him who comes out when he dreams while sleeping?

Growl.

This time it was the sound of the two of us clamoring for food. They looked at each other’s stomachs, faced each other, and laughed.

“Ahahahaha, they rang at the same time. How could this be?

“It could be, hahahaha.”

The smiling young lady, holding on to her stomach, lay flat and looked at the sky. The young lady who had been staring blankly at the sky opened her mouth.

“…Don’t hide any secrets from now on.”

“Yes.”

“And joke around.”

“I’ll think about that.”

A lady who raises her upper body and glares at her like a vicious cat.

“I’m not telling you not to do it at all.”

“…I’ll do it in moderation.”

I almost got a hiccup from the sharp eyes and heavy tone. He sighed deeply at my answer and touched my clamoring stomach.

“Yeah, that’s enough. Let’s go. We’re hungry. Let’s go to the restaurant. We’ll have something.”

“Yes, I am.”

I got up first and gave her a hand so that she could get up comfortably. When I looked closely at the left hand of the girl holding my hand, it was covered in bandages.

“…Lady, what happened to your hand?”

My heart pounded wildly, wondering if it might have been a wound caused by attacking the young lady while I was unconscious.

“Ah…Mo, you don’t have to know!”

The young lady got up and shook my hand and hurriedly headed for the mansion. I guess she was saying that to say that I didn’t do it…

With a gloomy heart, I followed like the shadow of a young lady going ahead and headed for the mansion.

“Come to think of it, the food the lady brought me is the same.”

As I caught up with the lady who had gone ahead and walked side by side, I remembered the food that came to my mind, the stew full of garlic and pepper aromas, and said to the lady.

At those words, I could see the lady’s movements stopped for a moment. It was a fleeting moment, so if it was someone else, it would have been a girl walking naturally, but I definitely saw that moment.

“…That…How was it…?”

“I don’t know because I couldn’t eat it properly. I saw the lady’s jade body after … Harming it … I couldn’t eat it because of the blood remaining in her mouth. Besides, it was cold, so it felt too stimulating.”

“…She worked hard though…”

“I’m sure the lady made it. Some of the vegetables were cut sparsely, and something was a bit disappointing.”

“Try warming it up again. It’s really good…”

“Then let’s warm up some of the food in the room at the restaurant and eat together.”

“Okay, can you wait?”

If you were satisfied with my answer, you said yes.

…The food the lady cooked…Can you believe it…?

Looking at the food the lady cooked now, my mouth started watering at the stew, which had a pretty appetizing color. When she came down to the dining room with her plate, the lady was talking to Mr. Ramden.

“…Have you finished your stew?”

“Originally, it was a small quantity… When the servants told me that the food was made by a young lady, I was surprised and ate a bite at a time…”

“Well… I made it for Sirius, but it’s my first time, so I made it less, so I guess it will disappear soon.

It must have been surprisingly popular. Looking at the pot that was supposed to contain the stew, it was large enough to hold 10 liters.

…How much did you eat?

I started heating the stew I brought in a small pot. If you cook it over high heat, the vegetables or meat in the stew could get burned, so I heated it while stirring over medium heat.

“Kid, why didn’t you eat the stew then and eat it now?”

After finishing my conversation with the lady, Mr. Ramden came over and asked how I was heating the stew. It seems that you haven’t heard of what happened with the young lady and me.

“At that time, I didn’t eat because I didn’t have an appetite.”

“Well, it can be. Is your body better than before?”

“I think I’m fine thanks to the soup the chef gave me for breakfast.”

“He collapsed in the hallway shortly after eating? Do you know how frightened I was when I realized that I had given the wrong food?”

“…The fever suddenly rose and I passed out. What should I do?”

“Eh, Tsutsu. It’s because I don’t eat well. If you’re a boy, like me, you’ll have a little belly fat, and you have to have flesh to be a man!”

…Don’t justify the increased belly fat as reasonable, Chef…

After talking about this and that with the chef for about 5 minutes, I saw the smoke rising and bubbles bubbling over the stew, so I put it back into two bowls to make it easier to eat.

“The lady has bread…”

“The bread is ready.”

I admired the properly cut bread on the bowl. While eating gambas at the academy, each piece of bread was of a unique size.

“Ruytena taught me how to cut it. It was easy because she said I could just roll it up and cut it with my cat’s hand.”

The young lady raised her right hand and clenched her fist like a cat. If it was the original girl, there would be no trace of the bread left.

We sat across from each other at the table with the hot stew and bread. First, the young lady took a spoonful of the stew, and she also took a spoonful and tasted it.

The stew, which had a cold and stimulating taste, was warmed up to make it easy to eat, revealing its true value. There was a lot of garlic flavor, and the meat didn’t have a sour taste. The oil was blown away neatly, and the scent of the vegetables matched with the spices and whetted the appetite.

“…Is this what the young lady did?”

“Luy Tena helped by her side. I did all the cutting and stuffing she did.”

From noble mtl dot com

I had a delicious meal with the young lady, admiring that the person next to me was dedicated to cooking.

The fever has already gone down, but as we ate to satisfy our hungry stomachs, the young lady and I cleaned up the food in less than 10 minutes.

“…If you want to cook next time, please call me or Ms. Ruitena…”

She clung to the side and started to see the possibility if she made this much food. The possibility of getting out of Yorichi.

“If I just cook by myself…”

“No.”

Are you going to kill someone?

I shook my head with a serious face. Even if you have completed cooking this time, it is clear that you are still close to a beginner.

I was extremely discouraged by the skills of a beginner who couldn’t control the heat, wouldn’t follow the recipe, substituted ingredients with his own beliefs, and didn’t keep the measurements.

“But…”

“No.”

No way.

As Sirius and Europa slowly climbed into the room, Christine, with short orange hair, was sweeping the hallway with a long broom and ran into the two.

“Dear~! It looks like it’s about to rain. I don’t know how many times the thunder struck.”

“…Is that so? There’s not a single cloud like that?”

Europe and Sirius knew the identity of the thunder, but pretended not to know.

“We didn’t even think of rain when we saw the dry sky. It rained like that yesterday, so today it was sunny and clear. But around sunset, the thunder roared in the dry sky. Didn’t you hear it?”

“Hmm… I think I heard it…”

Europa puts her finger on his chin and lets go of his pretense. Sirius didn’t ask himself, so he kept his mouth shut.

“It’s nice when it rains. What should I say, the atmosphere is really nice, right?”

The two of them smiled at Christine dancing happily with a broomstick, and after Christine disappeared from sight, they paid more attention to her surroundings before entering Europa’s room.

Something unexpected happened to the two people who thought they could finally be together…

“Ah, are you here, lady, butler?”

The older lady’s maid, Ruytena, was sitting on a chair in the corner of the room, reading a book.

“Yes, thanks to Ruitena, I found it right away. Thank you.”

“It’s my job to assist the lady. Since you’re back with the butler, I’ll be gone.”

“…Yes?”

Rui Thena stood up, closing her tidy book, and smiled at the two people who tilted her head at her words and actions.

“Since the butler is in the next room, I think the butler is more suitable for serving the lady in the evening. So, I’m going to serve the lady from morning to dinner. Is that okay?”

Couldn’t Ruy Thena, whom she thought was an uninvited guest, actually be her love fairy? Europa nodded vigorously at her words.

“Okay. Besides, Louie Thena is using her attic? She’ll be uncomfortable, so she’ll move to an empty room. She’ll talk to William.”

“Thank you, lady. Then, butler, take good care of the lady.”

“hahahaha…Don’t worry.”

I saw Ruitena off with a forced smile. As the door closed and her footsteps receded, Europa dragged Sirius to the bed and sat next to her on the edge.

“…This is my first time in the mansion.”

“That’s right. I didn’t know what would happen because I have eyes that I see every day.”

“If someone hadn’t been sick, it would have been like this since yesterday.”

“Ha ha…”

Leaning on Sirius’ shoulder, Europa took his left hand with her right hand.

“…Don’t get sick in the future…”

“It can be difficult because it doesn’t go my way.”

“In that case, just say yes.”

“…Yes…”

Sirius leaned his head on top of Europa’s, who leaned on his shoulder with a bitter smile.

After spending time gazing at the stars and the moon as if watching two people stuck in the sky through the window, they both fell asleep in the same bed.

Sirius no longer had the vampiric urge, but apart from him, he slept with Europa and no longer dreamed of him appearing.

And Europa fulfilled her responsibilities without being lazy during her vacation. He took over the empty seat of Count Aldebaran and watched things related to the estate with William, and Sirius, like a new employee taking over next to William, was busy writing down everything from the conversation between the two to trivial things.

I did my best to do my best by watching over Ruytena so that they would not feel uncomfortable behind the two of them and bringing them whenever they needed anything.

Less than a week passed like that. In the sky full of pitch-black dark clouds, as if predicting that it would rain at any moment, the spectacular airships of the Empire were flying with a roaring sound.

As Count Aldebaran, wearing a pure white uniform, dismounted from the airship seated in the courtyard with an indifferent expression, the personnel inside the airship bowed their heads while looking at the back of his head.

“”It was an honor to serve the pillar that supports the empire, Count Aldebaran!”

Count Aldebaran, who gave them a slight turn and nodded silently, entered his mansion.

Inside the mansion, all the servants and Europa were standing to greet him.

“Welcome, Dad.”

Seeing Europa greet her with open arms, Aldebaran hesitated as if she was slightly startled, then slowly approached her and hugged her. Perhaps because of her large stature, her head touched the area of her stomach.

“Yes, I’m sorry I couldn’t greet you during vacation.”

Aldebaran slapped her on the back with his big hand. As she hugged her mother how much she missed her only daughter whom she hadn’t seen in a few months, the struggling-looking Europe slipped from her arms.

“It’s okay. I’m past the age to care about such things. What did you come to the imperial family for?”

“…Come to the office later. I have something to tell you about what happened in the imperial family.”

She slipped into her arms, took off her coat of livery, and handed it to William, making eye contact with Sirius. Sirius naturally bowed his head to greet him, and he nodded his head with a trusting look in his eyes without saying a word, and headed to his office.

All the way to the office, his expression was as dark as a dark cloud floating over the manor. Arriving at the office, he sat down in a large, sturdy chair and sighed as he looked up at the ceiling.

I sighed once, twice, three times, and was about to sigh for the fourth time when I heard three knocks.

“It’s Europa.”

“Come in.”

Europe slowly entered the office and stood in front of the desk set in front of the chair he was sitting on, looking at Aldebaran.

My heart ached at the sight of my father looking old while I hadn’t seen him for a while, I took out three small pictures from his arms and put them on the desk. Europa’s expression twisted when she saw the painting.

“…Dad, is this…?”

The paintings were of different men.

In one painting, a man with a normal face full of freckles, who had just passed the terms and conditions, was making an honest expression.

In another painting, a boy of the same age as her, with chestnut hair and tanned skin, had a stern face.

In the last picture, a boy with light blue hair, who seems to be 4 years younger than her, is wearing her glasses and making a pouty expression.

“…Europe, these are your fiancé candidates.”

“…Yes…?”

She couldn’t help but cover her gaping mouth in astonishment.

Black dark clouds brought strong winds, loud thunder, and white lightning.

A typhoon was approaching.
