The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard

54. scar (3)

The academy’s dormitory returned after enduring hard dungeon exploration and staying out overnight.

I threw away my bag and immediately leaned back on the bed.

A lot of things happened, but I wanted to lie down for a while.

“Huh… ”

[Foolish guy. Wash and lie down.]

‘I’ll wash up in a little while.’

[You’re messy. Doesn’t the blanket get dirty?]

Ignoring Miho who grumbled and nagged me, I sprawled out on the bed.

Let’s stretch out coolly and lie on the bed languidly…

The process after the dungeon exploration passed through my mind.

‘I went straight to the academy health room.’

Counseling for Koyono, who is still not feeling well,

The wound on Arlott’s cheek was also treated so that there were no scars left.

Evan… How strong was it that there were no injuries?

All the magic stones obtained from dungeon exploration were disposed of and divided into 4 equal parts.

I would have to count the contribution, but I thought it was because everyone was in favor of equal distribution.

‘The important thing is this.’

I raised my arm and moved my gaze to the back of my hand.

On my index finger illuminated by the sunlight, a ring with a green jewel was placed.

It was a ring from a treasure chest I got as a reward after defeating the boss.

As a result of requesting an appraisal from the guild, the effect of the ring is ‘poison resistance’.

They urged me to sell it for a high price, but I never sold it.

[So, why was the ring so stubborn?]

Miho’s troubled voice was heard.

Come to think of it, I haven’t really talked about the plan yet.

“I told you the other day that it was a helpful item during the midterm exam.”

[Hmm, I must have said that.]

“Because I might need poison tolerance for the midterm exam.”

[…] Is that all?]

Miho raised a question mark, but didn’t say anything more.

There was nothing I couldn’t tell you, but I didn’t want to buy a strange misunderstanding about knowing the future.

Come to think of it, what I got from this battle wasn’t just a ring.

＜Party to Savior＞ usually has a set skill tree that can be obtained according to the character.

I don’t know if it’s a heroine or main character that I raised myself, but I didn’t know the skill tree of ‘Waltz Schmitz’, which was not playable.

Because of this, it is true that I was quite nervous before acquiring this skill.

This skill called ‘Shadow alter ego’ obtained in that way is showing a pretty bad appearance.

It is a type of person who creates and manipulates an alter ego that mimics my appearance and behavior.

It has the downside of disappearing with only one hit, but even taking that into consideration, it is a useful skill.

It will not only be used for combat, but it will be able to be used in many ways, such as intelligence and simple labor.

[He said he was going to wash up after a while. Shouldn’t you hurry up and come out and write a report?]

“Yes Yes. All right.”

[Come on, pack up your things, change your clothes… ]

With Miho’s nagging in one ear, I started to do what I had to do.

Shower, pack bag, tidy up room, change clothes.

and even report writing.

I had no choice but to pause for a while in that position, sitting at my desk with a pen for this purpose.

In fact, it was a week that gave me surprise, but I left an achievement of exploring dungeons and clearing hidden bosses.

This is an achievement that cannot go unnoticed.

‘… I’ll have to abbreviate it a bit.’

The best picture is when the spotlight is on Arlot, Koono, and Evan.

What am I supposed to do as a mere servant?

In the first place, it’s strange that the spotlight is focused on me when my class reputation is at rock bottom.

With that conclusion, I started writing a report.

I was thinking about making the most of Arlot and Koyono Evan’s performances.

* * *

A shopping street located near the academy.

After finishing the rough report, I was wandering around the mall with Koyono, Arlot, and Evan.

“Koyono-san, how about thread knitting? I’ve done it a few times, and it’s pretty fun.”

“Um… I will think about it.”

“If you try and it doesn’t work, you can quit. Oh, or how about that one?”

Arlott pats my hand and urges me on.

The other hand points to a doll shop in the distance.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to make a teddy bear? I feel feminine… ”

“Hmm… It doesn’t look bad.”

“Let’s go!”

As Arlot leads, the party follows.

I smiled as I pulled Arlott’s wheelchair with sparkling eyes.

‘We gathered to decide Koyono’s hobbies, but Arlott was more excited.’

The purpose of bringing these four people together was one thing.

To make Koyono a proper hobby.

[One of the causes of habitual self-harm is boredom. There is nothing to do, so I have a lot of thoughts, and those thoughts cause feelings of wealth and remind me of the familiar pleasure of self-harm. The solution is to create a hobby that you can devote yourself to.]

The academy’s counselor called me, Arlot, and Evan and told them the story.

He said that as friends, we play an important role in Koyono’s recovery.

The four of them went to the shopping district on that road and were trying to find Koyono’s hobbies.

‘… But I think I’m feeling a little better.’

Leaving behind Arlott, who admired the teddy bears,

He shifted his gaze to Koyono, who was standing next to him.

Compared to the dungeon, her complexion has improved considerably.

“Is anything going on?”

“it’s nothing.”

As I looked at Koyono, our eyes met.

I subconsciously avoided it.

I could feel her giving me a questioning look.

‘… I don’t know how to treat you.’

I want you to rely on me, I’m sure you said that.

However, the relationship between men and women was somehow a jam disease,

As Miho said, it was embarrassing to find out that he was using me as a lamp.

warmly? kindly? Or, would it be right to be a little mischievous as usual?

… I can’t seem to come up with an answer.

“Lord Schmitz, today is strange.”

“I… do you mean? .”

“Treat me as usual. As usual.”

She playfully tapped my arm with her elbow.

The danger has gone a lot, but it was still a bittersweet smile.

“There, why are you two whispering together?”

I was startled and turned my head to see Arlott glaring at me with a sullen expression.

Aside from the facial expression, I laughed at the sight of him holding a teddy bear in his arms.

Even that didn’t attract Koyono’s attention.

“Oh, what is this?”

Koyono, who continued to show a lukewarm response, showed interest in a street.

It was a street with a completely different atmosphere from anything I had seen before.

“My lady, you seem to be interested in me now?”

“Oh, the pieces seem to come alive. Great.”

“Haha, is that so? Why don’t you cut one off? You can make it right away with just a piece of wood and a knife.”

The old owner, who was watching us happily from the side, talks to us.

The object that Koyono was eyeing was a wooden wooden statue of a monk or a dragon.

It’s something you can often see on the streets of the east, but facing it here was a new feeling.

“Master, please give me the wood and the carving knife.”

After listening to the wooden statue for a while, Koyono purchases it without hesitation.

Arlott, who was watching the series of processes, looked at Koyono with worried eyes.

“Kono-san, are you okay?”

“Don’t worry. Even so, I often hear that the girl is good with her hands.”

“That’s not it, the carving sword… ”

Arlott couldn’t help but lower his head.

I could almost guess what she wanted to say.

‘It could be a trigger for self-harm.’

Her trauma has to do with knives.

The act of using a sculpting sword itself can cause trauma,

It would be a story that a carving knife could replace the role as much as he had harmed himself with a dagger.

Arlott seemed worried about this, but Koyono wiped it away with a cool smile.

“It’s really fine. I’ve learned how to rely on Prince Arlott and Prince Schmitz, so I’ll run to them right away when I’m in trouble.”

Well, I can’t object to talking like that.

It was definitely brighter than her appearance a few days ago.

“If I had this, I might be able to shave off his features… Whoops.”

“… ?”

Koyono talks to herself while looking at wooden statues of Buddha and monks.

Listening to the self-talk about making a ‘guy’, my whole body rings an alarm bell for no reason.

‘The light of life… Did he say that?’

I think of Miho’s story once again.

I said it was a lantern, but I wonder if it feels like a kind of role model.

If that’s the case, the piece of ‘guy’ she’s trying to make is the image of me during the ordeal…

‘Can that be?’

Laughing heartily at myself for being in a good position, I walked around the mall with everyone.
