Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

58 – Very crabby(完)

“…Aren’t you going to?”

The voice of the lady who was still sticking out her cheeks was exceptionally sweet. Perhaps because Aklus flew away so far, the party still hasn’t returned.

The opportunity is only now…But it’s a bit embarrassing. It’s lunchtime, so no one is around, but if they come back after licking it… I don’t know what to say to make it work.

“Then everyone will come…”

I could feel the urgency in the voice of the lady who took a step closer. When I saw the young lady seducing the flowing white blonde hair with my fingers that were not stained with blood, I closed her eyes and licked the wound on her cheek.

“Wow…”

As I licked the wound lightly, the sweet taste spread in my mouth with the tip of my tongue. How can this be called the taste of blood?

Resisting the urge to drink more, I fell off and inspected the wound. I was amazed at how quickly he recovered, as if he had applied the potion.

“…It was very itchy.”

He was scratching at the healed wound with his finger, unable to make eye contact with a shy face.

“The lady asked me to do it.”

“That’s right… It just tickles you, but is this okay? Would you like to lick something on your hands?”

“I’m not a dog. What are you talking about? I’ll bring some potions and a cloth to wipe your blood from your room. Please wait.”

“No, butler. You don’t have to go. I brought it.”

Suddenly, the young lady and I flinched at the same time. When I looked behind her, Mr. Rui Tena was holding a potion, a clean towel, and a bandage with an expressionless face.

“Luithena? When did you come…?”

“I came around when the butler was licking the young lady’s cheek. If it’s that efficient, wouldn’t it be better for the butler to lick all the wounds?”

“…”

The tone was so calm that we had to bow our heads in silence and cover our flushed faces with our hands.

Ruythena wiped the blood flowing from the wound of Europa sitting on a rock in the corner of the clearing with a towel, applied the potion, and Sirius bandaged.

It was a wound lightly rubbed by the magic that spread as sharp auras collided with each other, but scars were not something that could exist on a woman’s skin.

After the work of bandaging all the wounds was finished, the group that went to look at Aclus returned.

Aclus passed out in Regula’s arms. As she closed her eyes and stood still, there was a beautiful girl who was hard to believe that she was a person who wielded a sword like a madman.

“Europe, thanks to you, I was able to stop Aclus without much damage. Thank you for doing what I should have done.”

Regula expresses gratitude by lightly bowing her head with a friendly smile. Europa rose from her seat and shook her head in gratitude.

“No. I did it because I wanted to do it this time. If I had tried to stop it, I would have ordered him a long time ago.”

As I pointed at Sirius with a wink, Shaula, Nefeli, and Regula all nodded in silence.

Sirius, who became the protagonist of the strange atmosphere, put on a puzzled expression and asked Regula.

“So, what will Aklus-sama do? I’m afraid that if we meet face to face again, or even if we don’t face each other, I’m afraid he’ll point a knife at me.”

“…First of all, I have to send a letter of protest to the Kanker family. I can’t put my friends in danger again, so I have to educate them with common sense and tell them to send them back to the academy…”

“…Dad…I’m scared…I hate it…Don’t come…”

A small voice that came out of Aclus’ mouth, close to a scream. Her days of enduring hard training with her frail body came to her as her nightmares.

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked around her. She slipped out of Regula’s arms and put her hand on her waist, but she couldn’t grasp the sword she was supposed to be holding. While she was looking at the empty waist, Nepeli, who was a little away from her party, said.

“Senior, are you looking for this?”

“!…Gimme it!”

She raised a sword with ornate decorations on its dark red leather, the same as the Kan Ker family’s crab pattern, and she hurriedly rushed towards Neferi. She must have been very embarrassed, but her steps twisted a few steps, but she approached her at a speed faster than she fought Europa.

Her arm was snatched by a black flash in front of the other woman, at a speed that no one could react to.

“Let’s go there. Aclus-sama.”

She didn’t budge even though she was of a similar size to her. No, she couldn’t move her arm as if it were under a heavy stone.

“This… This… Let go…”

“If you swear by the name of the constellation that you won’t attack us for an hour from now, I’ll let you go.”

An oath in the name of a constellation. She opened her mouth without hesitation despite the rules of the world, which would make it impossible to use the magic of the constellation.

“Great Sea Palace… Kanker Family… Eldest Daughter… Aclus… Cancer… Underneath… Oath… In front of eyes… People… One Hour… Attack …I won’t…Swear…”

The blue magic escaped and floated over her head, then descended again, leaving a small crab-shaped pattern under her left eye.

Only then did Sirius free her arm and Nefeli handed her the sword. She quickly snatched her sword and sat down hugging her as if she were a precious object. Her party, except for Regula and Sirius, looked at her cryptically.

A sword that is so precious? She wanted to ask, but she couldn’t bring herself to look at the state of the sword with mad eyes.

“…I wasn’t such a kid…I became a crazy person before I knew it and became a ghost wielding only a sword…”

Regula, with her grim face, couldn’t contain her anger, and clenched her fists until they bled. Since they belong to the same ducal family and belong to the same twelve pillars, they were two people who had frequent exchanges.

Her eyes moistened when she saw the ruined Aklus, who had been like her real sister since her childhood.

“It seems that not all twelve pillars are upright.”

Regula nodded her head and shed a tear when Sirius, who knew the inside story of her family and her relationship with Regula, added from the novel.

“It’s been talked about a lot since before. The Kanker family was the future of the empire, the pillar that should stand at the forefront in times of crisis, and show faults often in the pillars that should set an example.”

“Still, they say it’s called the Twelve Pillars.”

“That’s because they produced so many sword masters and contributed to the empire. Even if it’s just the number of soldiers who cut down the mountains when they set their minds to cutting down soldiers in armor, over twenty since the empire was founded, that’s enough. But…”

“Looking at Princess Aklus’ condition, the condition of the masters must have been very bad.”

Regula nodded and wiped away the tears she had shed. Sirius wanted to get rid of the entanglement in her troublesome business, but seeing her disfigured, it seemed that doing so would not make her feel at ease.

And she plays a very important role in her fight against the demons. She appeared leisurely in a situation where everyone couldn’t give a fatal blow, and even though her physical strength was weak, she was a necessary person in the fight against the demons.

As Sirius, knowing that, held her head in her grunt, Shaulla opened her mouth.

“What will happen if I return to the family? So, if I formally protest to the family and get kicked out of the academy, in that situation.”

I looked at Regula’s face with slightly open red eyes, probably thinking deeply. As Regula pondered her question, a disturbing thought flashed through her mind, and she grabbed her arm.

“Perhaps… They may be evaluated as useless and find an adopted son… Often when I see her father, Preseppe-sama, I look at Aclus and say that he is a blood relative…”

“Ha…It’s disgusting to say that they are the same Twelve Pillars.”

“That’s right. It’s like seeing a real child as a tool. It gives me goosebumps.”

Nefeli added to Shaula’s words, rubbing her forearms in astonishment. Unlike Nefeli, who had no room to escape the heat thanks to the goose bumps in the summer, Europa took a close look at Aclus.

“…Lady?”

The two met eyes at Sirius’ words. As soon as her pupils began to bloom straight, she thought that if she opened her mouth, she would never be able to stop it, so she approached her side and asked cautiously.

“…Do you have any thoughts? Can you just tell me?”

“What are you trying to do?”

“If it’s a ridiculous idea, I’ll try to prevent it in advance.”

“Prevention, do you think I am a disease?”

Peruk, a fist lodged in his side. Wrapping her around his side and snorting at him as he sat down, she approached Regula and said:

“I don’t think there’s any need to formally protest. Right now, Aklus-senpai just lacks common sense, right?”

“I know what you’re talking about…I’ve tried many times and I couldn’t…”

“It would be difficult to do it alone, but with a group, wouldn’t it be possible? If you try to the end and it doesn’t work out, then it’s not too late to send a complaint.”

Sirius was surprised by her words and looked at his master sitting down. That means that Lars listened to Aclus’ circumstances and the choice she made was the same.

I wonder if there are any coincidences like that, I looked at my master without even imagining what would happen when Lars came to the academy.

Europe approached Aclus, who was sitting and examining the sword, and spoke to her with a pitiful expression.

“Senior Aklus. It was fun fighting with me.”

“Yeah…I lost…It was fun…”

“I’ll keep going. But you can’t use auras.”

“Why not…?”

“If you clash swords with each other, you may not be able to use your sword due to an excessive Aura, and you may not be able to fight against a strong opponent that you like.

As if telling a child why he shouldn’t be kind, Aklus nodded his head.

Seeing that, Sirius laughed at the time he told Europa when he was young.

“Yeah…Okay…Come on…Now…I won’t use it…”

“Don’t use it completely, use it only when you need it!”

“When… Do you need it?”

“How should I explain… The road ahead is very difficult. hahahaha…”

In a situation where there was laughter that made it impossible to tell who was the senior or the junior, Regula alone turned her head and shed her tears one by one.

“I have no idea how crazy things will be in the future…”

And Sirius gave up on things like the butterfly effect, and in despair, he just watched Europa in trouble.
