The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 119



119. Surajang

The day after I confessed my true feelings to Arlot.

Is it because I resolved the confession I had been worrying about for so long?

I was able to greet the morning with a more refreshed mind than usual.

And that feeling of refreshment was shattered by someone who came right away.

“Are you asking me to sparr?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s early morning now… ?”

Although it is said to be morning, it is still winter in the north.

Because of that, the sun hasn’t even appeared yet.

Koyono came to me before dawn to spar with me and did not back down.

“It’s been a long time since we fought. Since ancient times, the body of an unmanned person should not rust. Since I don’t have a suitable sparring partner, I am asking for a bio from Lord Schmitz.”

“…I can’t help it. “Please do your part.”

“Thank you!”

Koyono is so happy that she takes her sword and heads to the training ground.

When I think about it, I couldn’t even swing my sword once during this operation, and I never had a direct sparring even when I went to the Demon King’s Castle.

Since I had nothing to do in the morning, I accepted the offer right away.

“If you are ready, begin. “I will give up 3 sums.”

“…Don’t regret it.”

“Come in!”

“I’m going.”

The sparring that followed was more intense than expected.

Was there really a reason why he was able to survive while hunting demons and monsters alone?

Koyono had grown even more than when she was at the academy.

“…Wow, your skills have improved a lot.”

“I trained myself even more that day after Lord Schmitz was taken to the Demon King’s Castle.”

“I can’t get over it now.”

What Koyono needed most was practical experience.

He may have accumulated experience as a guard warrior, but Koyono often showed weakness when fighting people or demons.

However, that has now become a thing of the past, and she was free to avoid her paint or gaze at her.

In the end, even though the sparring dragged on, time passed helplessly with no one coming to a conclusion…

“I’m sorry.”

“Ugh… !”

In the end, she was able to get a decision win from Koyono by using the flame imprint as glue.

After blocking her vision with her’one point explosion’, she pushed her out of the sparring room with her heartfelt body slam.

If there was one thing that was puzzling, it was her emotions contained in the knife.

‘I think he’s angry.’

When sparring, she can naturally read the other person’s emotions.

I could feel Koyono’s anger just a little bit from her her swordsmanship her

There was something to point out, but I don’t know exactly why.

Since Koyono doesn’t seem to want to say it directly, she should take this opportunity to ask.

“Are you okay? Mr. Koyono.”

“Ugh… After all, I can’t beat Lord Schmitz.”

From noble mtl dot com

“I was lucky.”

In fact, it wasn’t wrong as I actually increased my luck by using moon rock dice.

Koyono shook the dust off her clothes with an expression that made her want to say something.

As she took a moment to catch her breath, I handed her a drink.

“You’ve grown a lot. Even though it is a short time.”

“I had a hard time at the front line looking for someone.”

As she was scratching the back of her head, Koyono was the first to cheer her up.

“By the way, I heard the story.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I heard you confess to Prince Arlot.”

“Puhup.”

She ended up spitting out the drink she was drinking on the floor.

Her confession clearly happened last night, so how could she know?

“Lord Arlott told me a story. The way she smiled at her ring… She looked happier than she had ever seen the girl.”

“…I see.”

“I heard you gave me courage.”

Koyono looked directly at my face with a serious expression.

As she said, I decided to stop hiding and express my feelings for Arlot.

How did Koyono interpret my decision?

“I have been hiding my feelings from Princess Arlot for fear of being rejected. It hasn’t been long since I realized that.”

“…Can a girl have courage too?”

The still cold morning wind passed between me and Koyono.

Koyono took a step closer to me.

The opening of her lips felt like slow motion.

“I don’t know what Lord Schmitz thinks, but polygamy is common in the East. Especially if you are a capable man. The lord of Heylin City also has three wives.”

“…I know that.”

Harem is a taboo in modern society, but it is not that rare in this world.

It is not uncommon for the lords of Heylin City, high-ranking nobles, and royal family members she speaks of to have multiple wives.

However, from my perspective as someone who has lived in modern society, it was difficult to think about.

Arlot also doesn’t know how to accept this.

“Let me tell you first, I’m not saying I’m trying to unseat the royal family.”

“Mr. Koyono… “

“If you give me a little of her heart to give to Lord Arlott… She will give you back several times that amount. From the ordeal until today, Duke Schmitz has always saved the girl.”

Koyono said so and put his hands together and placed them on his chest her her her her.

In that scene, the silence that was encountered at the ordeal may have overlapped.

She also did that when she asked difficult questions.

-…What if I couldn’t protect someone precious… What are you going to do?

-… You have to protect the things that person wanted to protect.

It was something that was said without much thought at the time, but it seems to have touched Koyono’s heart deeply.

To Koyono, who was abandoned by the lord she served and came to the temple to commit self-harm.

She once said that it was a milestone in her new life.

If she thought of me like that, she had to stop Koyono even more.

“I am not as great a person as Mr. Koyono thinks.”

If the feeling I had for Arlot was ‘fear’, the feeling I had for Koyono was closer to ‘burden’.

Because my presence within Koyono seemed much greater than Koyono’s presence within me.

Since she believed in me and supported me more than I did, I always felt the burden of having to meet her expectations.

“What I said at the trial was just something that came to mind. I am… To Mr. Koyono, there is no such thing as a great person or a milestone in life-“

“It’s not like that.”

Koyono cut me off with a firm tone.

“That is exactly what I thought of Lord Schmitz at first. I thought he was the person I wanted to meet again, the person who saved me from the abyss. But not now.”

“If you say no… “

“I realized this after watching a man named Lord Schmitz for a long time. Lord Schmitz also makes mistakes, sometimes says stupid things, and is an ordinary person who laughs and cries.”

Koyono took one step closer to me.

In a situation where we are so close that we can hear each other’s breathing

Her hands were placed over mine.

“You are not looking at Lord Schmitz of the Trialist. “At this moment, I like, love, and adore everything about the man named Waltz Schmitz who stands before the girl’s eyes.”

“Mr. Koyono… “

“You said before that there is no time to think about love in the East.”

One night in the East when a cool breeze blew.

I had said something like that to Koyono, who called me out and confessed her feelings.

-As expected, the girl did not like Lord Schmitz…

-That’s not it. I’m sure it was because I didn’t have enough time to think.

-If you say it’s time to think…

-These are things like romance and love. I guess I didn’t have enough time to think about such things.

After I found her crying in her sunflower field, shocked by her rejection of me.

That was the reason she couldn’t get her mind off

“When she heard yesterday that she had made a confession to the Duke of Arlot, the girl was not jealous, but rather relieved. It means that Lord Schmitz now has some free time. So… “

Just as you thought about Lord Arlot, I hope you will think about the girl as well.

Koyono left the sparring hall immediately, leaving only those words.

I stared blankly at the empty space where Koyono had disappeared.

* * *

“Whoa… “

Leaving behind my sparring with Koyono, I headed to the bathroom.

In one way or another, it was to wipe away the sweat.

Since there were few people using the bathhouse early in the morning, the spacious public bathhouse was empty.

I poured the water I had collected on my head and shook out my messy hair.

[What are you so worried about? Since ancient times, it is basic for a man of ability to have many women.]

‘I wondered why you didn’t show up, Miho.’

[W-what is it! The sour reaction as if it was coming… ]

As with yesterday’s confession, Miho was very talkative when it came to women.

In fact, I thought it was strange that it didn’t come out.

Anyway, after talking to her, she said, ‘Are you going to be satisfied with just two people? Because it was obvious that she would say things like ‘get more women’.

[Why is there no answer? Are you trying to disparage her true wife?]

‘I’ll cool off for a moment.’

I quietly entered the hot tub and submerged my head in the water.

I cleared my head in a quiet underwater world where no sound was heard.

Because I needed some time alone right now.

How long has it been like that?

When I start to catch my breath little by little and the sound of footsteps creeping closer to my ears-

… Sound of footsteps?

“Puh-ha.”

She immediately ended the dive and popped her face out of the water.

Yes, even if it is morning, there is no law preventing other users from using the bath.

I did this because I thought it would be a little embarrassing to be seen diving in front of others.

However, there was a person in the bathhouse that made you doubt your eyes.

“Oh”

“…Hannah?”

A scantily clad woman wearing only a bath towel.

With her blue hair neatly trimmed, Hexler Hannah took her place in the men’s bath.

“This is a men’s bathhouse. What is this now… “

“Oh, I know! But I don’t have time to talk to Mr. Schmitz alone… “

“Please leave at once. Anyway, women… If the princess of a country is like this-“

“The princess. You have now become a servant of the Eral family.”

Now that I think about it, I remembered the bombshell Hannah made a while ago.

Obviously, I asked to be accepted as a servant instead of a princess.

I thought the 2nd Prince had become our ally simply because their interests were aligned, but it turned out that she accepted his help on the condition of giving up her right to succession.

Amidst everyone’s worries, Hanna proudly declared that she would become a maid for the Eral family…

“No, anyway, this is a men’s bathhouse… ?”

“What do you think? “She even gave me an engagement ring.”

“What is an engagement ring?” “

“It’s not like you don’t know what the ring of the covenant means, right?”

Hannah smiled seductively and showed her left hand.

A ring in the shape of a clover flower, still glowing, shone in the hazy fog of the bathhouse,

Of course, there was a ring of the same shape on my left hand.

The covenant ring that Hannah took out to protect each other’s secrets is used as a ring for engagement or marriage in this world.

“Shall we use a wish to have a physical relationship with me?”

[Ever since you confessed to that child, the women around you have become very polarizing. It’s a good thing to see.]

“…Ha.”

I thought that I had finally made a deal with the Demon King and that the affairs of the Elven Kingdom were somewhat over.

I had so much to think about again, so I pressed my throbbing temples.

… It was because I had an ominous feeling that something headache would happen for a while.
