Marquis' Express Butler

After leaving the tavern and inn, I looked around the shop for a while.

It was a little far from the commercial district, so the atmosphere was quiet. I don't think anything will happen unless the Black Pigs prepare to die.

Suddenly, before I left the store, I remembered Elona's face looking at me.

“You were curious, weren't you? ”

She was definitely interested. I'm about people. It was great that I knew that I had inherited Elven blood, not my human side, such as appearance and personality.

She talks about her work and keeps asking with her eyes. How do you know who you are?

Even so, we can't just look at it from the status window and guess, so we'll have to make a reasonable excuse someday.

At this rate, Eluna will continue to grow in loyalty and is more likely to become my person. Then you must tell me the truth.

“After all, it's just the truth that was made. ”

You need to think slowly about what you're planning. Eluna will still have to wait a long time to be loyal to me.

I turned around and headed back to the mansion.

When I entered the room, I had a friend pretending to be the owner. It was Lohan. He was lying on the bed, his head cut off with his clawed hands.

“What are you doing selling so well? Did you have a girl?”

“What is she talking about? You're the one who sells too much in someone else's room. ”

“I was ten today, unlike anyone else anywhere else. Where have you been?”

I took off the robe and folded it in half. Then I wrapped it so that I couldn't see the iron mask and put it in the wardrobe. I also pulled out the sword and Mana pistol from my waist.

My body is lighter. I feel like I've finally come home.

“I don't know where to look. A village.”

“Ha! Look at the apprentice butler class. Now they come and go as they please to the town! I can save your life. ”

“If it's unfair, you can raise the ball. ”

“Is it that easy? Anyway, you're still investigating the kidnapping, aren't you? That's why you left, isn't it? ”

I was a little surprised. Seriously.

On the surface, I was rewarded for completing an investigation. The only people who know that I'm continuing my investigation are Sapiella, Arwen, and Janroff, the High Priestess.

“That's not an easy piece of information to access. Where did you hear that? ”

“Arwen said. ”

“Oops.”

I sighed. The next time I see Arwen, I'll tell her to be careful.

It's best not to let the fact that I'm conducting an investigation spread. Otherwise, you could be in danger without me noticing.

Now we don't even know who's behind it, even if we do. I can't read other people's numbers, so at least I shouldn't read my own.

When I make an embarrassing face, Rohan wipes his mouth.

“Don't worry, I don't carry rumors around. I was sleepy because you didn't tell me. ”

“Not really. Arwen's mouth is not as light as anyone else's. Anyway, if you don't want to send your best friend to the afterlife first, you'd better be careful. ”

“So why do you keep doing such dangerous things? Worried.”

Lohan has often advised me that what I'm about to do is dangerous. I like to think of it as nagging, but I personally appreciate it.

I was an orphan. Few have ever been so worried.

So I laughed.

“You didn't come all the way out here to talk about that kind of nonsense. What is it?”

“It's hard to see your face these days. ”

“Shouldn't you be packing again? ”

“Oh, it's not like that! ”

Sitting next to each other on the bed, I sat at the table. Then Rohan quickly moved ahead of me.

“How's Confucius Hamel? I heard it's been quiet since I dueled the apprentice knight before. What do you usually do? I'm an acolyte, so you should know better. ”

I looked at him without answering kindly.

I thought it was a strange question. Usually I used to gossip or insult Confucius Hamel, but this time I feel like I'm trying to get information.

Did you get any closure from the first or second accomplice?

I looked at Rohan with suspicious eyes.

“Are you really curious about that, or who asked you to do that? ”

“This all of a sudden? ”

“Answer me. It's an important question. ”

When I looked at him in secret, he avoided looking at me. There must be a reason. I gave my sincere advice on his shoulders.

“Listen up. We're apprentice butlers. He's not a nobleman. He's a commoner. Don't forget your identity. If I get into a power struggle for no reason, I can disappear without knowing about the rats or the birds. You know they don't look at us like we're expendable, right? ”

Lohan seems a little unfair.

“Then why are you being so nice to Miss Sapiella? ”

“For the real Adeline family, you have to take good care of her. He has nothing to do with the family. You can show loyalty, right? Then it doesn't matter who's in the family. ”

“Ha!”

Lohan sighs out of frustration. I understand his heart. Trying to rub a rope in any way is what any ordinary person would do.

I was a jerk when I was in grad school. I don't want to criticize you for that.

But things are different now.

I have power and knowledge. I'm being noticed as an apprentice butler, but if I want to, it's not a job to be successful.

In other words, I can choose, not wait for others to choose as before.

At least Lohan and Arwen both want me to take care of it. The people who helped me the most when I first opened my eyes in this world.

I tiled it with a good word.

“Don't listen to me, I'm worried about you too. Let's make sure nothing pops like shrimp in a whale fight. Even if we do, we still have to make a corner of Vivial. I haven't been late since I became a formal butler. ”

“Got it! Got it. Gosh, I shouldn't have come here to nag you. ”

“But who told you to find out? ”

“…… Deacon Performing the Second Confucius. ”

I thought you weren't gonna tell me, but I'm drinking.

As a second collaborator, I've heard that before. The name is Prague, similar to the Czech capital name, and has long been remembered.

“2nd Confucius. Tell me what he looks like. ”

In my words, Lohan put out his mouth.

“Why would I tell you if you didn't tell me? ”

“Think of the scarcity of information. This is information you can ask anyone. ”

Chet, Lohan with his tongue switched to encyclopedia mode.

“He's very calm and kind. If he were taller, he'd be handsome enough to impress a lot of women. Be kind and kind to them. Above all, it's popular because it works well with the colonists. A sunny man. ”

“You mean the exact opposite of Confucius Hamel? ”

“I can also see that. ”

“What's your support rate? ”

“Except for the First Confucius, it's only about 5: 5. ”

This is a tense brawl. I've been thinking about it with my chin bent.

Although Confucius Prague may be a good man, I reasonably doubt it as a scientist.

Like Hamel pretending to be a jackass, Prague, the second official, may be hiding his memory, pretending to be a good man.

It is often hypocrisy for a person with power to do good things. In a manner of speaking.

“When did Deacon Jang get called? ”

“He called me out of nowhere last night and asked me all kinds of questions about you. ”

“Tell me everything you asked. ”

Lohan folds his arms and scratches his head as he recalls.

“Well, that's obvious. Where you were born and how you grew up. How did you handle the sword so well? I heard you have a good mind. Well, these are obvious questions. ”

“So it's possible that Arwen was called, too? ”

“I don't know about that. I didn't ask, but it's a possibility. We all know we're from the same town. ”

“Hmm.”

What I expected came sooner than I expected. It was only a matter of time before I was caught in the eyes of the other Confederates.

Would it be better not to battle Arthurs?

I shook my head.

If I hadn't, I'd be hanging by my neck already. Confucius Hamel is in danger because he doesn't know where he's going.

“Anyway, let's be careful for a while. I'm going back to Miss Sapiella when I'm done serving Confucius Hamel. I'm trying to be quiet. ”

“Okay, but what am I going to tell the Second Duke? ”

“Tell them you still drink a lot and spend a lot of time snooping around. Write your own novel. ”

Logan nods.

Then you hear a knock outside. Surprised the two of us stood up at the same time.

“Come in.”

It was Lord Paramella who came inside. I was more surprised that he knocked and opened the door than he appeared. You could've just come in if you wanted to.

“You're back. ”

“Welcome. Sir Paramella, what is it, then? It's late.”

It was already almost midnight. I went to see Sir Paramella before I went out, and he said I should rest today.

How dare you come here in person? Did something happen to the third one?

The anxiety was right.

“Confucius Hamel is going out, and he's asked you to accompany him. Get ready now and come to the palace. ”

Now all work is done. If you're working late, you should give me a day off tomorrow. I wasn't in the mood to tell such a trivial story.

In other words, Lord Paramella was giving me an order.

I tightened my head.

“Yes, sir. I'll be right with you. Do I need to be armed? ”

“If possible.”

Lord Paramella steps out, and I take out the robe I put back and put it over my body.

Lohan tilts his head, watching you.

“Where are you going at this ambitious hour? ”

“You'll go for a drink on your own. Seems like you were shaken up yesterday. ”

“Khh, I envy you. It's not gonna fall apart on you. ”

“If you take something like that wrong, you'll burn. If you're jealous, can I recommend you as my successor? ”

“I'll keep my mouth shut. ”

The picnic smile led me straight to the room of Confucius Hamel.

It turned out that Confucius Hamel was walking around the room in a simple design outfit. I quickly went in and took an example of him.

“My noble prince. ”

“Why are you wandering around like that? If you're an apprentice butler, you'll be on standby! ”

“I'm sorry."

That's disgusting.

I have a lot to say, but I won't. Son of a bitch. Where do you think he's going? I looked around, but there were no hints.

“Anyway, I'm going out. I'm going to Baron Gaston's villa. Come with me. ”

“With all due respect. ”

“Hmph. Loyalty sucks. Hey, Ser Paramella. You know I can't get it into your father's ear, right? ”

“I'll do as I'm told. Confucius.”

Ser Paramella gestures to follow me in the customs. I suddenly felt that way as I followed him. You don't want Count Kronos to hear about this?

I smell something. It stinks.
