Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

55 – Back to the academy

In the night when the bright blue moon rose, sweat formed on the forehead of the girl who was training with the Count without fail.

The academy will start school in four days, so today’s training was virtually the last training of this vacation. Perhaps because of that, the count opened his mouth when the lady wielded it slightly distorted.

“Unlike usual, you feel nervous about your movements. What’s wrong?”

“…Even though today is the last training day of this vacation, I still feel immature.”

“Today isn’t the end. It’s okay, daughter. You’re following this father far enough, much faster than expected.”

“Yes…”

She wiped the sweat from her eyes and swung her sword again. The young lady showed a dissatisfied look in her eyes, but her movements were much better than before.

Through her training, she made several movements in succession, swinging and swinging the sword until it became natural, and the time was almost dawn. She stuck her tongue out at the tenacity of a young lady who wielded it for a long time as if she didn’t get tired.

The sight of the young lady wielding her sword to the point of clenching her teeth made me feel the scars she carved on my chest. How can I forget her confession that day that she knew that the lady had her scars, and that she would become stronger to protect me with her warm hand on her scars.

When I think about it now, it’s a story that makes me laugh because I was protected by the person I should be protecting. Even so, she kept thinking about the promise the young lady made, and her heart skipped a beat just like that time.

I put my hands on the painful wounds and the pounding chest to calm them down. I still haven’t had the courage to fully accept that heart. Am I really a person who can stay by her side until the end?

If the young lady and I got out of this master-servant relationship and were simply childhood friends, as Shaula said, would things have changed?

While lost in her thoughts, the young lady finished her training and was talking to the Count.

“Go to the academy, review what you have learned, bump into many people, think about what is lacking, and try to improve. Then, pick up a normal sword, not a great sword like this, and try to be able to use this swordsmanship with one hand.”

“With one hand?”

“Yes, reproduce this swordsmanship perfectly to your current level with another ordinary sword. Think of it as a task I give you.”

I wonder if it was because of my mood that I heard my inner thoughts that I would reconsider getting engaged if I couldn’t finish the assignment, but the slight pressure in my voice made me feel like I was saying that. Despite the pressure, the lady smiled confidently.

“I am someone’s daughter. I will definitely complete it and show it to you next vacation.”

“Yeah…It’s getting late. Go first. I have something to talk to Sirius about.”

Does it feel like a lightning strike in the dry sky? I couldn’t even think of what to say, so I was a little scared.

“Yes, but don’t bother too much.

“Will I bother Sirius? Go ahead.”

Seeing the count waving his hand at the lady, as if they had become familiar now, she wondered if it was an awkward relationship just a few months ago. The lady shook his hand lightly at me without the count’s knowledge, and then walked to the mansion.

“Sirius, didn’t you keep an eye on Europa during training?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Then how much can you reproduce?”

“Rather than recreating it, I can imitate it at the level of just scratching the surface of the fruit. However, the depth is not deep, so I can’t use my power. It’s not easy to follow perfectly because I can’t even keep up with my muscle strength.”

“Hmm…Can you show me?”

“Yes.”

At the Count’s words, I brought a greatsword and showed the count and the young lady the same swordsmanship. Although she didn’t show overwhelming power like the count and the lady, she seemed to wield it stably as much as her posture.

After swinging a few times and finishing the continuous action, I bowed my head to the Count.

“As you can see, this is my limit.”

“But can you find a stain on the sword that Europa wielded?”

“Yes, it is possible.”

I have observed and felt so many times that I cannot count how many days I have seen the lady wielding the sword and the count demonstrating.

Even if it’s not a swordsmanship that I can use, I engrave it in my eyes, chew it in my head, and learn it, thinking that even one can be of help to the lady. To help you when reviewing.

“Heh heh. Really, William has an amazing child as his successor.”

“That’s too much of a compliment.”

“No, no one could say that just because they saw it. William has seen me wielding a sword many times, but he hasn’t imitated it as well as you. Be proud of it. You’ve got a swordsman teacher to teach your grandson. “

I smiled slightly as he put his hand on my shoulder and smiled in a good mood. Grandson…If Lady Europa gets married and has a child…Do I have to teach her?

Marriage … I thought that there was someone else next to the girl, and it hurt as if a dagger had stabbed her in the chest.

“By the way, Sirius. Do you know why Europa wants to be so strong?”

“Yes, you said it was to protect people.”

“…Yes. To be precise, they said it was to protect the person they love. Do you know who that person is?”

Hiccup.

Perhaps the hiccups came out due to the feeling of pressure that you inadvertently exuded.

“…Now…I don’t know hiccup, I don’t know.”

“Hmm…Really? I thought you would be at the academy, but didn’t you? I thought you would know better, but it’s a pity. I’m really sorry…”

The pressure was applied to the Count’s hand, and his shoulder started to hurt more and more. My instincts screamed at me to run away, but I couldn’t.

“Hickuk. I’ll report back as soon as I check…Hickuk.”

“Yes, hiring Luitena should make your job a little easier. It wouldn’t be easy to live with a woman in those days. But you’re hiccuping. Did you eat something in a hurry?”

Unlike before, the hiccups stopped at the softened attitude. She took a deep breath and lied to the Count.

“No, it’s fine. I think it’s because I’ve been out of breath while wielding the greatsword for a while.”

“I see. Actually, this swordsmanship is very difficult. I am surprised to have reproduced it like that, so it must be so difficult. Now, let’s go. You shouldn’t sleep in tomorrow.”

“I appreciate the Count’s generosity.”

With sincere words, he bowed his head to show his respect.

I still felt my shoulders tingle…

Summer mornings come quickly. Although summer was over and autumn was approaching, the sun still rose early. While the chickens crowed and the livestock awoke to the sound of the chickens crowing, two people were busy moving by the carriage.

“Lady, you’ve packed all your belongings… Mr. Louis Tena, have you packed any items for her while living at the academy?”

“Yes, I put it in the bag next to it. Is it okay to buy something in the capital if I need something?”

“There are a few places I’ve looked at, so if you need anything, let me know. I’ll be able to buy it as long as I don’t get it from the Mage’s Tower. Then… I’ve also packed some emergency goods… Just in case you don’t know, ingredients for dinner… I modified the ice for storage of groceries and stored it together, so I think I got almost everything.”

“I really can’t believe that I’m living in the real capital this time. hehehe. I passed by the other day and couldn’t see it properly, but this time I’m living at all… It’s like a dream.”

Louie Thena moved her hands around as if in prayer, her eyes twinkling. Sirius closed the luggage compartment and told her story of her experience.

“I went out of the academy with the lady every Friday and just walked around, but I didn’t get tired of it every week.”

“Isn’t it because the young lady is by her side? She may have felt double because she enjoyed the new experience together.”

“Is that so…”

“Well, like the butler said, you can expect it. It’s done, so I’ll go wake the lady.”

Louie Tena, her mouth high, stopped teasing Sirius and went inside her mansion to wake up Europa, who was still asleep.

Looking at her back, he sighed, and as he put his mind together, he wondered if he really hadn’t gotten tired of spending time with Europa? He scratched his head at her complicated mind.

“Then, like Robert, you’re going to lose your hair, you bastard. Just scratch it.”

Gillian, who has brown gray hair and a short beard, came out wearing glasses. A dapper young man with short, well-cropped blue hair and a face that looked beyond the standard was standing next to him, who grumbled that the glasses we talked about had finally been delivered.

“Ah, Uncle Gillian, Mr. Angelo. You’re up early.”

“I really want you to call me hyung!”

As the young man called Angelo shouted in a tantrum, Sirius said softly with half-closed eyes that his master, Europa, often opened.

“I can’t because I’m awkward. Shall I call you Mr. Then?”

“Just call it what you feel comfortable with… As long as it’s not for you, Mister…”

It was Angelo who was examining her wagon with a dejected smile as if he had given up on everything. As Sirius said, Gillian, who started teaching Angelo how to drive a carriage a few days ago, said that he would accompany him to experience long-distance driving for the first time.

“And Sirius, this time the road…”

“I will definitely go to the place where the security guard is located.”

Sirius’ eyes were on fire, trembling at the appearance of the thieves, who were now traumatized, and threatening to throw them away if he ran into them anyway.

Not long after, Europa appeared yawning and got into the carriage, followed by Ruythena and Sirius, and Angelo pulled the reins and started the carriage.

Only Sirius watched the scenery with full vigilance in the wagon that was leisurely running down the well-trodden road after leaving the territory. It was an image that would send the thieves flying into the sky as soon as they appeared.

I wonder if his doubts reached the sky, there was a group of people watching the wagon nearby. They were the ones with the grand name of the Milky Way Reds. Although the number of people was unsightly to be called the Milky Way, it was a notorious band of bandits who moved in small numbers in accordance with their iron rule of quality rather than quantity.

“Boss! There’s a wagon coming up!”

At the cries of the scruffy man who was examining the carriage through a long telescope, a large man crawled out of the tent and saw the carriage, and a smile grew on his lips.

“Oh, good, good. It’s been a while. It looks pretty classy, but maybe you’re a noble?”

“Yeah, it looks like he’s a famous aristocrat, seeing that there’s even a pattern attached to it! It’s a bull pattern, right?”

“…What? Bull…?”

“Yes, it’s a bull. It’s a Taurus family. A big boss…?”

When he looked out of the telescope, he turned around and saw the face of the man he called boss. A small voice came out of the mouth of a man with a pale, tired face.

“…Leave me alone…”

“Boss? Why is that? A big man like that can live for two months…”

“Hey you stupid bastard! Didn’t you hear that? A few weeks ago, the blue-haired bandits blocked a wagon and were immediately taken to the police, and a few months ago, Gray said that he had broken his bones mercilessly while blocking the same wagon. Didn’t you hear about the forest bandits?”

“St… I can’t…”

“Yes. It’s a cursed wagon with a black devil riding on it… Wouldn’t it be better to be stable, even if it’s small, than to be taken to the security guard?”

“That’s right! Boss! You’re smart!”

An hour after the Taurus family’s wagon had left for a long time, another wagon passed by and they blocked their way.

“Khehehehe, take everything you have and come down!”

They seemed to have no fear after escaping the threat once. While I was happily thinking about what to eat for dinner after robbing the wagon, the door with a pattern slowly opened.

As soon as the design of the crab painted in dark red on the door caught their eyes, several traces of blue aura penetrated their bodies.

It wasn’t long before my body was dismembered, as if dislocated, and I couldn’t stand it, so I fell to the ground and shattered like a cube steak.

Standing by the door of the carriage, a girl with short, almost white, silver hair and wearing an academy uniform put a sword she had pulled out in a scabbard and looked down at the dismembered corpses with a cold look.

“…A weak person…Unworthy.”

Unlike the sharp trajectory she swung, the carriage started as if nothing had happened after muttering in a low voice as if whispering.
