The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard

7. runaway (1)

“Whoa… ”

The situation where I packed my things and got out of the mansion.

Somehow, the Northern Duke could have pursued me…

I decided to come out of the northern province at all.

So I had to move to another area as soon as possible…

– Knocked up. rattle.

“Ugh.”

“Ha ha, sorry. It’s my first trip, so the horses are causing trouble.”

I decided to put myself on the wagon going out to the north as soon as possible.

It was thanks to the ‘Wagon Escort’ mission received from the Adventurer’s Guild.

Because of his work, he had a connection with the guild, so he was able to accept the mission right away.

‘My head is pounding… ‘

Inside the wagon full of odds and ends.

Sitting on the floor roughly, my butt hurt quite a bit.

I’m glad I didn’t get sick thanks to the low-level potions I got with my emergency money…

“By the way, you seem young. How did you end up going all the way to the east?”

I was a little dizzy from motion sickness, and I heard a voice from the coachman’s seat.

It was Kate, the client I had to escort.

She was a young lady who appeared to be in her early to mid-thirties, and was a peddler with an easy-going personality.

Her blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail, but it was not noticeable because of the robe that covered her entire body.

It was a world where security was not good in many ways for a woman to go out alone, so it seemed that she did not want to reveal herself.

“… There are things like this and that.”

“is it? When I saw it, it seemed to be running away. For example, from your parents?”

“… ”

“Haha, why are they all so tall? Run away from home and live on the streets for a bit, and then.”

It’s a runaway…

Well, if it’s a runaway, it could be a runaway.

It was because he left the Grand Duke’s mansion, which was like a house, without saying a word.

However, there was one thing that was different from the usual runaways.

“There is something I want in the East. I am going to find it.”

“Is it the East… What are you looking for? No matter how you look at it, I, Dongbu, know everything.”

‘You keep asking me about this and that… ‘

Rather than trying to pry any information out of me…

Apparently, because of his youthful outward appearance, he had some sympathy.

Whatever you say, it won’t matter much.

“Isn’t there a famous temple in the east?”

“Ugh. Its name… ”

“It’s a trial.”

“Ah, the ordealer. It looks like you’re going to Heyrin.”

The place I want to go to is Heirin, a city that represents the East.

As you can see from the name, it is a walled city with a motif of the East, especially Japan.

In the middle, there is a huge castle similar to Osaka Castle, and it has a typical Japanese feel, with ninjas and samurai walking through the streets.

“What are you trying to get from Heyrin’s ordeal?”

“……”

“Okay. If it’s difficult to say, you don’t have to.”

He immediately stopped talking when I was silent.

He said he’s a merchant, so he’s pretty smart.

Afterwards, inside the carriage, which became quiet, I quietly cried out.

“Status Window”

A status window in a familiar style appeared before my eyes.

The form of the status window of the game ＜Party to Savior＞.

It was a fairly simple structure with stats and skills.

Originally, only the main character should have the status window…

I don’t know why the status window even exists for me.

More at readwn com

Just in case, I tried opening the status window in front of other people, but they all seemed to be unaware of it.

‘What’s good is good.’

The answer doesn’t come out just because I think about it myself anyway.

It’s better than not being able to see the status bar, so let’s just say that.

With that thought in mind, I pressed the ‘stats’ window.

◈ Stats

Stamina E +

strength E

speed D +

Horsepower F+

energy D

Divine Power F

‘Is it a character with energy-based speed?’

The notable points in my stats are ‘speed’ and ‘energy’.

The fighting style that suits me the most is probably the quick-damaging assassin style.

Well, considering the background of the Waltz family, the butler family to which I belonged, it might be natural.

If there was a person who became an obstacle to the Northern Grand Duke, he would often attempt assassination under the name of ‘cleaning’.

Although they have never been directly mobilized for cleaning, they have been trained to do so at any time.

It is safe to say that the current stats are the result of the education at that time reflected to some extent.

There are still about 5 years left before admission, so I wonder if I can easily enter the lower class if I grow up like this.

We have no choice but to expect the potential that protected Arlot in the game.

‘Is the skill window next?’

╭──────╮

◈ Skill

▣ Passive

Eral Family Butler Lv. 1 (You can take the first attack, ignoring the Speed stat, up to opponents who are 2 steps faster than you. This passive only activates on the first turn)

Energy Growth Lv.1 (Additional value is added to Energy Growth. Growth stat +20%)

Dagger Affinity Lv. 1 (Increases damage dealt with daggers. Damage + 5%)

▣ Active

Shadow Stepping Lv.1

: Move behind the enemy and deliver a strong blow. Inflicts damage equal to 120% of energy.

Dagger Throw Lv.1

: Throws a Bezelard dagger to inflict damage on enemies. Inflicts damage equal to 100% of energy.

╰──────╯

It is a simple composition suitable for an extra character.

Even so, if there is something worth noting, it would be a fraudulent passive called ‘The Butler of the Eral Family’.

Taking the first attack regardless of speed was a huge advantage in the turn-based game ＜Party to Savior＞.

Because this passive was very effective in stopping the bad players who tried to attack Arlot in the beginning.

I don’t know if it will play a good role in this non-turn based battle…

There’s nothing better than catching the first attack as an assassin.

Depending on how you use it, your expectations will vary greatly.

“Ah, come to think of it, the ordeal is currently in the ‘trial of flames’ period, so you won’t be able to enter.”

“… Yeah? Is there such a thing?”

“Didn’t you know that? oops… ”

I was a little taken aback by Kate’s sudden words.

… Wasn’t there anything like that in the game?

The general development was in the form of taking him to the ordeal, as if Dae-seung, who recognized the character of the main character, took him.

“Do you know from when to when?”

“Um… I’d probably do it for a month, but it’s only been about a week or two now.”

“this… ”

In the first place, I had no intention of staying at the ordeal for long.

I just wanted to get what I wanted quickly and go back to the Northern Grand Duke’s mansion.

At that time, Arlott will clear up the misunderstanding about me…

Because the hidden piece obtained from the ordeal will heal Arlott’s disease.

“Thank you for the information. I’ll have to go to the ordeal first and think about it.”

“okay. Whatever you do, come to the store outside Heirin City. If you bring up my name, I’ll probably get you a job.”

“Thank you for the favor.”

“Pretending to be polite, at times like this, just say thank you sister!”

… Apparently, they really think of me as a runaway teenager.

Well, since I spent most of my money on potions, I’m grateful anyway.

“Well, first of all, it must have been after arriving in Heirin. Can I trust the escort?”

“Sure. Do not worry.”

I smiled and tapped the dagger for self-defense on my waist.

KATE As if I was cute like that, I messed up my hair.

Well, you might think it’s a guest trick of a 15-year-old boy, but it’s not unreasonable confidence.

It has been calculated that the current stats are sufficient for the amount of rubbish mobs and thieves that spawn around here.

As long as you avoid the ‘thief trio’ that comes out with extreme probability, there is no problem.

It was just then that I was immersed in such idle thoughts.

– Wedges!

Suddenly, something flew from the side of the bush.

As I managed to cut off the guy who was obviously aiming at me with my dagger, the broken arrow fell helplessly to the ground.

Were you surprised by that?

The horses neighed loudly, and the carriage came to a violent halt.

“…Damn it, is it a raid?”

“I will go out. You are in the carriage.”

I immediately kicked off the wagon and set off.

The arrow flew right at me…

I approached the bush from which it flew, alert.

“Shall we talk face-to-face?”

It seems that the stats are not so false.

The moment the arrow approached, the sight slowed down and he was able to hit the guy.

Since the projectiles were like this, I was sure that other attacks would be able to respond.

Did you feel my spirit?

Something appeared in the bush along with a human presence.

“Chuckling, little children and young women… Is it a hat? Hehe, it’s a pretty high-end product, right?”

“Tongue, brother. These are the guys who don’t pay road tax as they pass through our district. If you just kill them all and take them away… ”

“Arthur. Because I want to talk.”

‘… It’s the worst.’

What appeared were three armed men dressed in sloppy clothes.

One with a bow and one with a machete.

Among them, the one called ‘Brother’ was holding a greatsword the size of his height in one hand.

It was the appearance of the ‘Three Musketeers of Thieves’, who appeared on a nearby map with extreme odds.
