Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

101 – A prize for you (4)

A restaurant that eight out of ten people know by name in the capital. Three women were caught between the lines standing in order to enter the ‘Spring Rainbow’, which is bustling with lovers who came to enjoy spring.

“This is the spring-colored rainbow. I didn’t know it because I had just heard about it, but I can feel its popularity when I see people lined up like this.”

For some reason, Nepheli, who had gray hair as fluffy as an unwashed sheep, stuck out her tongue at the people in line, and Shaula, who had green hair wavy like seaweed, opened her mouth.

“Cooking skills are also good, but because of the surprise event organized by manager Chen once a month, it is called a kind of must-see course for lovers living in the capital. Besides, rumor has it that this month’s event has not yet been held. Do it. Today is the right time.”

“Looking at Shaula-sama, you really don’t know anything.”

As Louie Thena, with her sea-blue hair, admired her eyes, her eyes sparkled, Shaulla smiled shyly and shook her hand.

“Ah, if you don’t know anything, how can you keep your footing in our family? Knowing anything is better than being ignorant.”

“It’s a problem because I know it’s strange for something like that.”

“It’s not strange!”

A hot-headed Shaula grabbed her forearm and shook it, screaming. When the people in the same line looked at the lively atmosphere as if they were having fun, Ruythena hurriedly changed the topic.

“But is it a place where we can disguise ourselves like this? If the lady looks elsewhere…”

“Oh, if that’s the case, don’t worry. If you don’t know where else, this is a very special place for those two, and you mentioned it to us yesterday.”

“I didn’t mention it, you were all exposed.”

“If you give a hint, isn’t it common sense to figure it out?”

They both narrowed their eyes at Shaula’s confident expression.

‘Looks fine, but sometimes you open your mouth and it’s crazy.’

A subtle evaluation was made of the woman standing in front of her eyes, but the person concerned didn’t care and said, staring at the people standing behind them.

“The line is getting longer than that, but it still hasn’t come. What the hell are you doing?”

“Aren’t you stopping by somewhere in the middle to find snacks or interesting things to enjoy?”

As Europa and Sirius naturally fell into the alley on the right, those chasing them quickly followed them into the alley.

One of them started running along the crimson tail wagging in the distance, shouting into the back of their heads.

“Don’t run away! You cowardly cowards!”

Hearing insulting words in the back of his head, Europa almost stopped his feet. And Sirius pulled her arm hard as if he knew that.

“Don’t pay attention to such vulgar provocations. Anyway, lady, you need to get rid of that hot-tempered personality.”

“…Take care of them and wait. I’ll show you what real hot-tempered people are.”

Although his hand wasn’t crushed, he could feel how angry she was in her clasped hands.

Wouldn’t it be harder to avoid Europa’s wrath than to deal with the stalkers following them? Sweat dripped down his forehead as he walked around the alleys like the house of the count’s family, but the low-level provocation from behind seemed to have worked. I didn’t even pay attention to him and ran around every corner of the alleyway following him.

In the midst of a bet, he narrowly jumped over a table where a bet was in progress, and he even handed over to stalkers as a shield for those who were trying to rip off the toll fee by arguing.

If the people chasing the two were normal, they wouldn’t have been able to catch up with them and couldn’t even see them, but Europa stuck out his tongue when he could still hear the angry voice pouring low-level curses at them.

“I managed to catch up after being interrupted like that… I’m really sick of it…”

I’m talking like I’m sick of it, but I couldn’t hide the fact that I was breathing hard because I was running around the alley. And Sirius, who noticed that, couldn’t answer easily and had to swallow his saliva.

Contrary to her exhaustion, the unidentified party gradually speeds up her and narrows the distance between her. In addition to the situation where it was not even known what their purpose was, it was not known whether they could handle it with their own power.

Her safety came first. Comparing the scenery of the alley passing by with the map in his head, he stopped and turned around.

“…Sirius?”

Surprised to see him suddenly stop her steps, she even called a name that she hadn’t called, but he didn’t even look at her face, but he posed toward the pursuers.

“Keep away, young lady. And if I can’t stop you… Run down the road that turns right.”

“How can I leave you…”

“You have to go. Even if you abandon me.”

I couldn’t listen to all the young people who were blinded by love. She distinguished between public and private affairs and did her best in her work.

Those who were chasing the two also stopped when they saw him in a stance. The moment they finally met each other, the one who had provoked them earlier spoke first in their neutral appearance.

“Finally, I’ve stopped. The boring chase is over, you rats.”

“Do not relax, Levi. He is the one who killed Viscount Parsus, no one else.”

Sirius’s eyebrows narrowed as a man wearing horn-rimmed glasses that did not suit his large size followed and stood next to him, adjusting his glasses.

When he mentioned Parsus, who had beheaded himself, he wondered if the name Levi was among the list of traitors ripped off by Wise along with the fact that their identity was the Dark Star.

“Ahahahaha~ I finally got a good look at his face. It looks better than I thought, but that face will soon be ripped apart.”

Finally, a woman with a cute look stood side by side with the two of them with a bright smile. Unlike them who seemed relaxed, Sirius, who was still sweating, opened his mouth.

“…What is the purpose? Your life?”

“The duty to answer that is…”

“Ahahahahaha! That girl over there is a bonus. Actually, she’s here to kill you.”

When the woman answered before the man in the horn-rimmed glasses had finished his words, he stroked his forehead as if he was troubled and continued.

“…As Kiara said, you were the original target. The four of you who killed the beasts with your bare hands at the reception and even killed Viscount Parsus were designated as the biggest obstacle to our church’s purpose. Besides, behind you It’s the best gift since it can handle even the young lady of Taurus.”

Sirius laughed at his attitude of boasting that he could succeed at any time.

“Do I look so easygoing?”

“Of course not. That’s why I brought this.”

Three people took out a pitch-black marble from their pockets. Without a moment to say anything, they grabbed the marble and broke it, and a dark, bleak magic like the evening night enveloped their bodies.

“…Could it be something that can turn into a demon? It looks the same as back then.”

“No. That’s…”

A magic power similar to that of when Parsus changed shape enveloped the three of them, and soon after, the darkness that had covered their appearances was lifted, revealing a new look of the three of them.

“It’s time to check the results of our church’s experimental work.”

“Try to deal with it with all your strength, you bastard.”

“Otherwise the girl in the back will be torn apart too?”

From head to toe, Sirius’s eyebrows narrowed even more as he saw them stances triumphantly, each holding a pair of swords, a large sword, and a whip, along with armor covered in pitch-black scales.

#

Double swords, godfather, whip. I didn’t expect to face those holding the three arms here.

In the novel, traitors to humanity who had infiltrated to destroy the academy created a commotion wearing armor similar to them.

The people who led them in the center were the ones holding those three arms.

I didn’t even know his name and face. It wasn’t even on the list Wise gave. Even in the Dark Star, they might be people who were put in top secret.

When I found out their identities, a feeling of tension enveloped my whole body. As their fighting power was described in the novel, the three of Lars’ party, Lady, Nefeli, and Regula, clung to each other and narrowly won.

Unlike when I fought General Albireo, the first sword of the Empire, with three such people in front of me, my life would not be in danger, but I was afraid that I would be able to protect the lady behind my back.

To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to protect my body completely. In order to be prepared, I habitually rummaged through my pockets and took out the gloves bestowed by the emperor.

The work of dwarves wearing for the first time. The material of the gloves woven from the roots of the mountain was surprisingly no different from ordinary gloves. Rather, it was softer than the gloves I had worn so far.

“My lady, please step back.”

“…Be careful.”

Every time a big fight broke out, the lady told me to be careful, and she smiled. As if telling me not to worry too much, I comforted myself.

“It looks like I’m ready to fight, so I’ll go first!”

As soon as I put on my gloves and took a stance, the first person to rush at me was a man named Levi with dual swords.

I grabbed a sword about the length of a shortsword, one straight and the other reversed, and ran along the wall of the narrow alley with light footwork.

“Don’t rush Levi! His skills are still unknown!”

Then, a man with horn-rimmed glasses, dressed in armor befitting his size, came running carrying a terrifying godfather the size of a wheel over his head, as if his rhinoceros was charging.

“Really, it’s like this every time. Hey, don’t die too easily? It’s been a while since I wanted to enjoy it.”

Finally, the jet-black whip of a woman called Kiara came flying at me with a blast.

The first of the three approached, starting with his hand holding the whip that caused a violent explosion.

A blade sharp enough to blow off a finger had been attached to it with bare hands, but it was useless in front of the dwarves’ technological power that squeezed the roots of the mountain.

“Hey, those gloves. Aren’t they ordinary gloves?”

“I guess so.”

I tried to pull the whip I was holding, but I was forced to let go by two black blades that ran down the wall.

“Where are you looking! You don’t have time to focus on that guy?”

“I’m already focused.”

Two blades danced wildly in the air, and before I had time to fight back, the great godfather was about to slash over my head like the blade of a guillotine.

“Can I get this!”

“Normally I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t either.”

I dodged quickly to the side and evaded the godfather’s head as I punched him at his side. The armor splattered black scales like glass would shatter.

“Kuh…”

…Durability is weaker than expected? Seeing him stagger from his fists and the two people who stopped moving at the sight of fragments of broken armor, I remembered what he had said earlier.

[It’s time to check the results of our church’s experimental work.]

In the novel, the armor was broken by Nefeli and the young lady’s heartfelt blow using Regula’s debuff using the lion’s heart, whereas my attack was only a little stronger than when I was dealing with the young lady.

My strength is by no means strong. It was a daily occurrence to be pushed by the lady by force.

“Uh, how…”

“One fist at a time…”

The two took advantage of the moment of embarrassment and mercilessly beat the owner of the staggering godfather. As if peeling the skin of a croaker, black scales fell off with every punch and kick.

When the godfather’s man, who was almost naked in the end, passed out without enduring it, I looked at the remaining two and silently rushed to them.

Quick battle. According to those who wore armor with poor durability, it was an ending that left you rolling on the ground.

“…I think we just ran away.”

“I will.”

It was okay to fight as soon as I entered the alley. While feeling dejected that our excessive caution rather took away our time, the three people who were rolling on the ground staggered to their feet.

“…Don’t think this is the end.”

When the owner of the godfather, engraved with a black star on his left chest, held the largest piece of scattered scales in his hand, others followed suit.

“Even at the cost of our lives…We must get rid of you right here! We will give our lives to the great darkness!”

“I will give it to you!”

“Give us the great Dark Servants!”

“Please drop me off!”

There was no time to dry. Mad eyes stared up at the pitch-black sky, arms spread out, and each of them shoved a scale into their inscription.

After a while, black blood vomited from its mouth and seemed to fall down. The blood that vomited gathered around the three people and became an ominous sphere.

An alarm bell was ringing in my head. That I should run away from this place.

“The lady runs away…”

Before I could finish my words, the pitch-black sphere shattered, and a face I had seen before appeared in front of us.

The true identity.

“This Duke of Corvenato himself responded to the call, so be grateful. You guys worse than worms.”

In the novel, he was an advanced demon who killed the butler.
