The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 120
120. Being S (1)
“Schmitz, is something going on these days?”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Huh… “It seems a little weak.”
Arlot said as he slowly removed my finger from his mouth.
Drops of blood gathered from the wound on her finger that had not yet healed.
I casually wiped it away with a handkerchief.
‘It’s awkward to talk about it anyway… ‘
I’m worried because Koyono and Hanna keep appealing to me… It was a bit too much to say directly.
It’s also strange to talk to Arlot, who confessed the marriage proposal, but she seems reluctant to speak honestly for fear of feeling like she’s showing off.
However, I felt guilty about covering it up with lies like before…
As he was unable to do either this or that, Arlot smiled meaningfully.
“It’s because of Koyono and Hannah. No?”
“…That’s right.”
“Ah, I’m worried because he’s a popular guy. Right?”
“…”
Arlot smiled and stroked my cheek.
It was Arlot who continued to engage in bold skinship after her confession.
I was a little nervous about what she would think about the current situation.
Finally, her lips, which had been hesitant, carefully opened-
“I will follow Schmitz’s opinion.”
“…Are you okay?”
“Yes, that’s right, because both Koyono and Hanna are good people.”
Looking at her benevolent smile, she felt slightly dazzled.
… If I were in Arlot’s position, it would have been difficult for her to allow bigamy with other people.
When I thought that she had made that decision for me, she seemed even more lovely to me.
Eventually, she smiled mischievously.
“And I’m your first wife?”
“…Yes?”
“Huh? “Wasn’t it about marriage?”
In response to my reaction, Arlot gave me a strange look.
Even though he gave her a ring and even proposed, his eyes were questioning her as to whether she could get married.
I muttered, feeling a little intimidated by the look in her eyes.
“We have not yet received permission from His Excellency the Grand Duke of the North.”
“Are you okay. Because my father is infinitely weak to me. I will try my best.”
“I’m glad if that’s the case… Actually, I don’t know how to deal with the other two.”
“Umm… “
The biggest problem was this.
The feelings that Hanna and Koyono have for me.
I knew it was definitely more than just a crush.
But I still haven’t figured out how I feel about them.
What is certain is that I don’t think it will reach the feelings they give me.
If I accept them in a situation where I am not prepared, wouldn’t it be deceiving or hurtful?
While I was worrying about that, Arlot pressed my cheek with both hands.
“…Ugh?”
“Phew. I’m seriously thinking about something like that. It’s a simple story, right?”
Arlot took her hand away from my cheek.
“There is no need to feel burdened. “It’s simply Hanna and Koyono expressing their feelings to Schmitz.”
“…Isn’t it such a simple problem?”
“The problem with Schmitz is that he thinks too complicatedly. So what I want to say is… “We’ll just wait and see.”
“If we wait and see… “
Arlot adjusted her own ring.
Her eyes, looking at her ring, seemed to shine with some special emotion of her own.
Without taking her eyes off her ring, Arlot opened her mouth.
“Think about it while we’re together. It may feel like a burden right now, but… Schmitz clears her mind and faces them head on. Since they’re both not bad people, it wouldn’t be strange if she married Schmitz. “I’ll guarantee it.”
“Marriage is not such an easy decision, is it?”
“At least it seems to me to be much better than an arranged marriage?”
… Come to think of it, in this world, it was common knowledge that noble marriages were arranged marriages.
If you think about it that way, it might be happiness for them to marry someone they like.
My anxiety stems from worries about whether I can really make them happy.
At that moment, I felt something moist touching my forehead.
“Miss… ?”
“I’m giving it to you specifically to cheer you up. Schmitz is kind, so he’ll treat both Hanna and Koyono well, so don’t worry… Did she ever dislike it?”
“No. “I was just a little surprised.”
The identity of the touch was none other than Arlott’s lips.
When we were alone in her room, like now, it was Arlot and I who started to engage in a little skinship.
… But why does he feel so embarrassed after kissing her forehead?
Feeling playful, I grabbed the back of her hand and kissed her on it.
“Miss, do you not like me kissing the back of your hand like this?”
“Huh… ? No, no.”
“Me too.”
“Ugh… This is why women are seduced.”
Arlot glances at me with narrowed eyes.

Now that all the blood had been transfused, it was time to get to work.
I got ready to leave, putting on the clothes I hung neatly next to me.
“Are you going to work?”
“That’s right. “I have to go out for a moment.”
“You have to come on time.”
“All right. “Thanks to you, I feel refreshed.”
I smiled and tapped my forehead with my finger.
In an instant, Arlott’s face lit up like a blush and she said,
She threw down the stuffed animal that was next to the bed.
“Okay, let’s go first.”
“Ugh… “Watch it later!”
“Haha.”
If you play with it anymore, it will no longer be a doll, but ice magic may come flying out.
I quickly opened the door and went out.
Still, I felt like my troubled mind was relieved a lot while talking to her.
‘I would like to talk to Arlot more if possible, but… ‘
The magic in your head that makes your head vibrate with a shallow vibration.
This is the car that the devil placed on her and showed off her presence throughout the transfusion of her blood to Arlot.
When I arrived at my room in the mansion, where no one was allowed in, I finally received a message.
“What’s going on? “Make sure to mute the call sound for a long time like this.”
-Ugh… Is it you, Schmitz?
“…Demon King? Are you unwell?”
Contrary to what I thought he would nag me to communicate frequently and lively like usual.
The devil’s voice was droopy, like that of a patient.
Could it be that something happened on the demon side?
-I would like to meet you in person and discuss the details. I guess… There are stories that would be difficult for others to hear.
“How do I get there…” ” “Huh?”
Before the communication was over, a portal the size of a person opened in one corner of my room.
The appearance of a portal in a gloomy purple color.
I went into the portal thinking that there was no way to waste how much magical power there was.

‘It’s no different from before or now.’
When I arrived at the Demon King Castle after a long time, naturally, nothing had changed.
It’s been less than a month since I left the Demon King’s Castle in the first place.
Guided by Rumclad, I stepped into the private room where the Demon King was.
Inside…
“Demon King… ?”
“Oh, dear. It’s been a while. It’s a little embarrassing to be dressed like this… Please understand.”
The devil, full of good health, lay on the bed and greeted me with a haggard appearance.
Next to her, demons wearing doctor’s gowns were busy manufacturing something, as if they were checking on her health.
I couldn’t speak to her as she lay on her hospital bed.
“…How did you end up like this?”
“Hehe, I will explain it now. “Look, everyone, please go out.”
With just one word from the Demon King, the demons that had filled the room came out to visit in perfect order.
However, Rumclad sat in the corner of the room with an expression of dissatisfaction
I moved to the side of Chakanbaatar who was lying down.
“Who is like that? Elf? A traitor to the demon race?”
“…Calm down. Because it’s not like that.”
“How on earth are you supposed to calm down? Who… !”
“Schmitz.”
The devil’s hand gently cupped my cheek.
With her touch her, I was able to calm my rough breathing.
I am… Why am I so excited?
‘Does the trauma of the hospital bed still remain?’
Both my sister and Arlott spent a long time in hospital beds.
I thought I was able to shake off the fear of my acquaintance’s death thanks to Arlot, but
Still, seeing Chakanbaatar, whom I had become attached to, lying helpless like this, seemed like I was traumatized again.
“Still, I don’t feel too bad. “That you worry about me.”
“…It’s not like that. So why are you lying like this? The one who was called the absolute leader of the demon race.”
“It is not a duel with someone or the working of magic. It was caused by a being of a higher level than that.”
“If you are a being of a higher level… “
From her words her her her, one figure flashed through her mind.
An entity that still remains a mystery despite the fall of the elf kingdom.
Something that holds the secrets of this world that the Demon King and I are intertwined with.
“Existence S… ?”
“Okay. Existence S. Do you know that in order to carry out my recent agreement with you, I will withdraw my strength from the front line with humans?”
“I know. Thanks to this, the situation in the north has improved a lot.”
The number of monsters coming to the northern front has decreased exponentially.
Although there were monsters that occasionally attacked humans on their own, it was definitely better than forming a group and coming steadily while receiving orders.
Because it was a level that could be covered at the level of a village vigilante.
“And then the messages from Being S keep filling my head. And it gets stronger every day… “It’s hard to even stand now.”
“That… “Nonsense.”
“Even now, a voice is echoing in my head telling me to kill you. “Go ahead and twist the neck of the person in front of you.”
“…”
Sweat beaded on the Demon King’s forehead.
As if what she said was true, his hand trembled, but Chakan Batar suppressed it with his other hand and let out a groan of pain.
“Ugh… I can barely hold on for now… I think it will be difficult to hold out for long. So, leave here for now. And… “I would like you to find out about existence S.”
I held her shaking hand with both hands.
The devil’s finger was taller than me, and I thought it was a gigantic being… It was thin and delicate, like a woman’s, as if it would break.
In the end, she realized once again that she was a human being before she was a demon lord.
Even though she is the final boss of the game, I am determined to save her.
“Hurry… “Go and see.”
“…Please wait. “I’ll be back quickly.”
“Hehe, I’ll be waiting.”
As she smiled helplessly, I had to take her heavy steps behind her.
