The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard

42. Torino Coyono (1)

“… Questra.”

Because of the sudden appearance of the quest, he apologized and parted ways with Koyono.

I lay in my dorm bed alone and put my thoughts in order.

To be precise, I thought about ‘Koyono’s favorability and awakening event’.

The main content of the game ＜Party to Saviour＞ is to grow and awaken the heroine through the favor of the heroine belonging to the party.

An event occurs every 20 favorability, and when it reaches 100, it is a development that goes through an awakening event.

At this time, Koyono’s awakening event would be ‘holding the sword’.

‘Come to think of it, talking frankly was one of the events that made me feel good.’

I don’t remember exactly because I didn’t pay much attention to the heroines other than Arlot.

Talking openly with Koyono, who had closed her heart due to trauma…

It must have been an event that occurred when the affinity level reached 20.

My relationship with Koyono must have progressed unbeknownst to me.

If it is 20, there is intimacy between friends, and if it exceeds 100, it is treated as a perfect relationship.

In other words, she and I are friends, and I have to accept her as a lover in order to complete the quest.

However, this quest, there are not only two strange things.

In a situation where we just became friends through liking, don’t you suggest a goal to suddenly meet as a lover?

… It was a reward for a quest, and it was not unusual to present it.

＜Quest #1: The Wounded Samurai Takes the Sword Again!＞

＜Content: Give the sword to Torino Koyono!＞

＜Condition: Reach 100 affinity with Torino Koyono＞

＜Reward: A clue that Arlott’s leg can heal＞

Of course, I had never seen a quest like this before.

As well as the fact that Arlott’s leg can be healed as a reward,

It felt as if someone was watching me and offering me what I wanted.

‘But I can’t do anything right now.’

He hates moving like a puppet, but he might be able to fix Arlott’s leg.

I didn’t have the option of not completing the quest just because I didn’t like it.

Then right now, it’s time to think about how to handle the quest.

‘Still, it’s not a matter of simply clearing it.’

She is just about to recover her relationship with Koyono.

Because I reflected on the past when I was overly cruel and decided to stay friends.

In such a situation, I felt guilty about using her heart as a means of a quest for Arlot.

If it were me in the past, I would have done anything to heal Arlott’s leg, but

‘Coming now and playing with Koyono’s feelings… ‘

I must have felt remorse.

At least now I don’t want to.

After wandering around the room for such a long time, I was able to come up with a brilliant method.

“… You don’t have to fill the affinity level with 100, right?”

Koyono’s awakening event is to overcome the past and take up the sword.

At this time, there was a bug in which the awakening was completed and the liking level filled up even if the sword was held without obtaining the favorability.

It was a method often used by speedrunners.

Even in this world, if even bugs are implemented-

A ‘win-win’ strategy was possible to break the quest without raising the favorability.

I found a way to do so, and immediately laid down on the bed and went to sleep.

While contemplating how to give her a sword.

The next morning, Arlott was waiting for me at the entrance of the girls’ dormitory, as always.

It was my morning routine to drag her wheelchair to school in the morning.

‘I’m a little sleepy.’

I stayed up all night thinking about last night’s quest, so I went to bed very late.

As I waited rubbing my eyes, Arlott appeared with the familiar noise of a wheelchair.

To be precise, it wasn’t just Arlott that appeared.

“Hi Schmitz. Good morning.”

“Prince Schmitz, how are you?”

“hello. You came out with me today.”

As usual, Koyono pushed Arlott’s wheelchair and left the door of the girls’ dormitory.

These days, I’m just happy to see the two of them together every day.

“Koyono-san, even if it’s okay, you always come out with me.”

“It’s the way we go anyway, and going to school together is more fun.”

“I’m glad if that’s the case.”

Afterwards, the three left the female dormitory.

I tried to get the handle of the wheelchair handed over with a familiar hand gesture, but failed due to Koyono’s dissuade.

“I’d like to leave it to the girl to do things like going to school and going out.”

“Right, I’m sorry for asking Schmitz every time I go out.”

“Well, if you say so.”

I obediently accepted their favor, and stood next to the wheelchair and walked slowly to school.

As if they had a lot to talk about, Koyono and Arlott talked to each other kindly.

“Right, would you like to join us for sparring in class this afternoon?”

“Ugh, I hate Prince Arlott’s magic now… Won’t even give you a chance to block it.”

“As a avant-garde, your movements are slow. I’d say it’s a good target. Whoops.”

“You are too much! Prince Arlott… ”

Arlot and Koyono chatting while joking around.

In particular, Arlott kept a gentle smile on his lips, and the conversation with Koyono seemed quite enjoyable.

To her, the tolerant Koyono must have come as a good friend.

‘Because I’ve always been depressed because I don’t have friends.’

I watch the conversation between the two with a calm daddy smile.

The feeling of healing a tired body and mind.

As I quietly watched the conversation between the two on the way to school, I felt my heart grow soft.

After coming to the classroom, there was a gap in the conversation between the two for a while.

At this point, I might be able to tell you a little bit.

The story of the quest that I kept thinking about last night.

“Koyono-san, there is something I want to say.”

“Well? what is it?”

“Are you free this weekend?”

“There is no schedule for the weekend. But, the reason why you ask if you have time is… ?”

“If you don’t have a schedule, I want to spend time with you.”

“Poem, do you mean to pass the time?”

“Yes. I also have a job from the other day, so I want to treat you.”

In order to prevent Arlott from misunderstanding, I secretly approached and conveyed my wish.

Seeing Koyono accepting this, he looked rather embarrassed.

“Ah, okay. You say that… ”

“Then we will meet at the Academy Fountain at 12 o’clock.”

* * *

The weekday passed quickly and the weekend approached.

Like any school, this academy also allows free time on weekends.

It is possible to study, train, or go back to your hometown to rest for a while.

Maybe because the members are adults, the degree of freedom is high.

Even during that free time, I was at the fountain at the academy in my school uniform as usual.

He was equipped with a katana he was not familiar with at his waist.

‘It’s time to check if the bug will work in this world.’

It was to give Koyono a katana with the feeling of grabbing at least the last straw.

The operation was like this.

The katana located at the waist, for the reason of its performance, goes to the arena with her.

Ask her to demonstrate, give her a grip, and observe the situation.

Of course, there was no way that there would be a dramatic change in her liking just by gripping the sword once.

I wonder if the system that gives quests can be fooled, there is only such an expectation.

“Shu, Lord Schmitz. You’ve waited a long time… ?”

As I was stroking the handle of my katana while thinking that, I heard Koyono’s voice behind me.

Looking back, I couldn’t help but breathe.

“Oh, why are you dressed like that… ?”

“More than… How?”

The usual pauldrons, shields, and school uniforms were nowhere to be found,

The brightly dressed oriental clothes stood out.

The usual ponytail was also beautifully braided up and finished with a hair ornament…

Her body line is impressive even with a wide kimono.

Anyway, it looks like he used his strength here and there.

It was completely different from me in school uniform, with my hair cut off.

“It seems that he gave me a little… strength today.”

“Heh, giving me strength, it’s unreasonable…!”

‘When I go out, I always come out dressed like this.’

She shyly brushes the side of her hair and says that.

Of course it’s a lie.

The figure walking around here and there with a shirt that didn’t even close in front of the island,

Because I’ve seen it clearly.

The katana located at the waist fluctuates little by little.

For example, she… Are you looking forward to meeting me?

The body has changed, but the substance inside the body is still the same.

If what the girl in front of me was looking forward to was an encounter with such a meaning, it was because I wasn’t confident.

Arlott had been by my side for a long time, so the burden was less, but

Looking at Koyono dressed up, I felt a burden.

A situation where you don’t let her down and you have to hold a knife.

The thought that it will not be an easy day passes through my head.
