The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard

41. liking

“Anyway, I was completely surprised.”

“Is that so?”

Footsteps and the sound of wheel chairs resonate along the academy’s promenade.

After class, the two were taking a walk with the sunset in the background.

The topic of conversation, of course, is the sparring that took place today.

“I couldn’t see it well because the dust had just bloomed… You dodged all those ignorant attacks, didn’t you?”

“Because I have confidence in my speed.”

I wonder if the heat from watching the battle still remains.

Arlott diligently added his hand gestures and praised my achievements.

It’s just embarrassing to praise him like this in front of the person concerned.

“Poohyo, but it was a bit harsh at the end. I am suffering from an unknown area… It must have looked so painful to see her crying.”

“Because it wasn’t intentional. I lost my balance and fell, and there was Mr. Sherald’s precious things.”

“Anyway, it was cool. Thanks to that, I was able to get through.”

Gleaming eyes full of joy.

Arlott turns his head away from his wheelchair and sends that gaze.

Seeing her passionate reaction, a bitter smile came out.

Just like she said, Sherald collapsed on the floor crying like a child right after the sparring.

Defense magic only reduces damage to the body by covering an amount equal to one’s own physical strength.

Because it can’t alleviate the pain of an attack.

My blow to the vital point was, well, pitifully powerful.

However, since they had insulted Arlott first, I didn’t feel any sympathy.

“… Still, Schmitz’s reputation is still intact.”

It was a while to enjoy the victory with a happy look.

Arlott’s voice, which had been excited until just now, gradually subsided.

The reputation she refers to must be my perception in the lower classes.

At that, I smiled without saying anything.

[Ooh, lucky you! After all, I didn’t get the treasure house for free.]

[Ugh… Even so, isn’t that really evil?]

[I don’t think it was intentional, but sparring with a guy like that is a no-brainer.]

A group of nobles from the lower class who chewed us hard from the beginning.

Even when they saw my battles, they were calling me ‘lucky’ and ‘evil’, but

No one seemed to step forward and try to confront me.

Seeing the boss blacking out right in front of his eyes, it was natural in a way.

‘I was halfway aiming for something like that, but it worked out better than I thought.’

Out of anger, I also wanted to give Cherald a true education.

At the same time, it was like throwing a warning to the group that was harassing me and Arlot.

Now that I’ve done this, no one will touch me for a while.

“As the lady said, they are ugly, and they can only care about that much.”

“Apart from that, I’m just sorry.”

“Are you saying you’re sorry?”

“Yes. Schmitz is a good person, but everyone only wants to look at the bad side.”

A part of my heart warms up at Arlott’s kind concern.

Her skin is cold, but inside she is warmer than anyone else.

Contrary to that, he made her his favorite.

As I was intoxicated by the warmth of Arlott for a while, I heard a woman’s voice from somewhere.

“Shu, Lord Schmitz! for awhile… I have something to talk to you about!”

Looking at the source of the glance, Koyono was running towards the two of them.

… Feeling like I was going to be weighed down by the ruthlessly shaking femininity, I turned my gaze away without even realizing it.

“Schmidt, Mr. Koyono is calling. I guess I have something to say to you.”

“… It seems so.”

“The dormitory is just around the corner, so you can go.”

Arlot and I walk around the academy and end by taking her to the women’s dormitory.

No matter how much I was an exclusive butler, I couldn’t go directly into the women’s dormitory.

Well, as she said, the dormitory was right in front of me,

Because I was told to go.

“Yes, I will go.”

After meeting her at the door, I was about to head towards Koyono, but Arlott grabbed my wrist.

When I turn my head, she lowers her head and wiggles her fingers.

“… uh, you know… It might be a bit presumptuous to say something, but… ”

Hesitantly opening her mouth, she catches her breath and continues.

“Miss Koyono… You are a person who has many wounds inside and out. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and take good care of it. Understand?”

Arlott’s unexpected words made me involuntarily swallow my breath.

Before he can say anything, Arlott rolls the wheels of his wheelchair and disappears into the women’s dormitory.

When I said they were close these days, did he notice something?

“Ah, thank you for waiting! that… Arlott Sozer… ?”

“He stepped aside because he wanted to talk to me. Originally, you go into the dormitory alone, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”

“… Then how about going to a nearby bench for a while?”

Contrary to her usual appearance, today it was Koyono who gave off a cautious and awkward atmosphere.

I also heard something from Arlot, so it was difficult to deal with him.

In such an awkward atmosphere, Koyono and I sat on a nearby bench.

* * *

“So, what do you want to say?”

“… You feel something different today.”

“Um, is that so?”

As Arlott said, unlike before, he maintains a kind attitude.

If you are in a position to remember the previous rudeness…

It is natural that it is low.

Koyono seemed embarrassed by that.

He brushes his hair to the side and glances at me.

“Oh, Dalian was great today.”

“thank you. I must have been lucky.”

“It’s not just about winning or losing.”

Koyono tapped her ear.

“Since the girl has good ears since she was little, she can hear most of the sounds even from a distance. And girl, I heard you. Speaking of Sherald’s words and actions that insulted Prince Arlott during the match.”

Certainly, Sherald’s words and actions were abusive.

As if understanding my anger, Koyono also sends eyes of hot anger.

When our eyes met for a long time, we quickly averted our eyes.

“Anyway, it was a great fight. It was a sparring that made the opponent look back on his own deficiencies, rather than suppressing them with force.”

“Although the method was a bit cruel.”

“Poop, pooh… Well, it was definitely a bit vicious.”

She is the one who laughs at my jokes.

“Anyway, it seems the girl has misunderstood Miss Schmitz all this time.”

“no. It happened during Dalian, so I fully understand.”

“Just today, I was going to talk about that too…”

Something that gave her a disgrace during the entrance exam.

Koyono It seems that Arlott has heard everything about the situation behind it.

I thought it was a problem to be solved gradually, but I thought Arlott would have taken the lead first.

It’s just embarrassing to get help from her in many ways.

“Anyway, about that time… I’ll forget about half of it.”

“Half… you mean?”

“Oh, that’s a lot…! A girl once served her master, so I understand the attitude of a servant for her master…”

In response to my laughing question, Koyono lowered her head and averted her gaze.

She seems to be reminded of what happened at the time, and she is adjusting her Amon school uniform.

Even so, the front of the shirt, which did not control femininity, did not get locked.

“Still, I’m just grateful that you forgive me even half of it. It’s all thanks to Koyono-san’s heart…”

“…Looking at her chest and saying that her heart is wide, it only stimulates the girl’s shame…”

It seems to have sensed the eyes shed unconsciously.

Koyono’s ears were stained red by the reflection of the red sunset…

Soon, as if the situation was funny, he burst into laughter.

airflow flowing between them.

That strange airflow begins to take on the familiarity that flows between friends.

Because Koyono was accepting me without feeling hurt like before.

‘A relationship like this would be no problem.’

I had a sudden thought.

Until now, the life that has been lived fiercely for the ending of Arlotte’s pure love and to make the most of the original information,

I feel like I found a little bit of freedom thanks to Arlot and Koyonora.

Even the setting sun, which was in full swing, slowly loses its light as it approaches the horizon.

Beneath it, I felt that sentiment.

“The half of the unforgiveness, please pay it back step by step.”

She patted my chest with a calm face.

The sight made me smile again.

“Yes, I will.”

Respond with a bright smile,

The moment I looked at her back as she headed towards the dormitory-

In the field of vision, a familiar looking quest window appeared.
