The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 122
122. Being S (3)
“How should I say this?”
I tapped my cheek with my finger on the carriage returning to the north.
Since this is a life-threatening matter, I think I should also tell Arlot and his group who are waiting for me in the north …
Will I really be able to get permission?
Arlot has depended on me a lot since returning from the Demon King’s Castle.
Whenever Hannah or Koyono is in the north, she keeps asking for access to me.
I wondered if I could really persuade them and reach a place called ‘the end of the world.’
I could have just walked away without saying anything,
This time, for some reason, I wanted to reveal everything to them.
First of all, I’ll put my heart and soul into it and if I’m against it… It’s something to think about then.
“We have arrived.”
“Ah, thank you.”
As I was thinking about this and that, I finally arrived at the northern mansion.
I went straight into the room where Arlott was doing her paperwork.
As expected, she was buried in documents and absorbed in work.
“Princess, I have something to tell you.”
“Huh? “You said you had work to do and you came quickly.”
“Yes, but I have something to tell everyone.”
“…I’ll load it now.”
Did you notice the shadow on my face?
Without saying anything, she gathered Koyono, Hannah, and Evan into the basement conference room.
It’s not great because it’s dark, but it was the right place for a meeting.
“…I will explain why I called everyone today. But before I tell you, I should first tell you what happened in the Demon King’s Castle.”
Holding her trembling chest, I slowly explained my plan.
She briefly explained the information about the Demon King and Being S, and also talked about the existence of the quest.
Stories like this world originating from a game… I didn’t say anything either.
The important part was that I had to go to a place called ‘the end of the world’ and the danger that could come to me because of it.
“A person called the Demon King… Is it absolutely necessary to keep it? Honestly, I don’t know. Schmitz is becoming dangerous.”
What expressed the most concern was Arlot’s reaction
Apparently, the front line was maintained with the demons in the north for a long time,
It had to be that way since her father her, the Grand Duke of the North, was in a coma during the battle with the demons.
“The Demon King is not a bad person. However, he is just being brainwashed by existence S. In reality, it was the Demon King’s arbitrary actions that devastated the Elven Kingdom.”
“I definitely heard that part… “
Arlot was confused.
I, who thought I had been forcibly kidnapped by her, had to defend her her her her demon lord her and risk her life to save her.
Arlot smiled as she was organizing her messy hair.
“Yes, Schmitz may be in danger, but… You decided it yourself, right? Then I will support you.”
“…Lady.”
“But please know this. “I will wait here forever, believing that Schmitz will return safely.”
“Thank you.”
After saying those words, Arlot hugged me tightly.
As soon as she felt her warmth, she immediately went back to her room with her wheelchair.
… She seemed to have watery eyes in the middle, but she decided not to notice.
“Lord Schmitz, please allow me to go with you.”
“I’m sorry, but due to the design of the magic, the probability of success drops exponentially as the number of people increases.”
“…Like that.”
Koyono appealed that she wanted to go together rather than stop her.
Of course, her power would be of great help in dangerous situations …
In order to even slightly increase the success rate of Celestina’s magic, variables had to be reduced as much as possible.
“I may have to leave Princess Arlotte’s side for a while. So… Mr. Koyono, I hope you will stay by your side.”
“Ugh… If you ask me that, I can’t refuse you… “
Koyono grumbled and expressed dissatisfaction, but listened to my opinion.
It was only after I patted her on the back that she was able to let go.
It was Koyono who immediately turned towards Arlot with her motivation burning.
As I was looking at the last remaining Evan and Hannah, Hannah slowly approached me.
She fingered her own ring on her finger.
After fiddling with it for a while, she suddenly released her voice.
“That ring. “If you don’t give it back, I’ll be angry.”
“Yes?”
“So please come back. This… This is an order I give as the princess. Did you know?”
“…I understand.”
She wanted to say that she was no longer a princess, but she held back.
As she immediately turned her back after saying those words, there was something wet on the floor.
In this atmosphere, it would be tactless to say something like that.
Tuk Tuk-
“…?”
As I was thinking that, Evan tapped my shoulder.
Evan gave her a thumbs up and patted her once more, then left the conference room.
… I’m not sure, but I’m sure he’s supporting me too.
‘As expected, it was good to be honest.’
Everyone was worried but supported my opinion.
I was always conscious of being opposed, so I felt more at ease than acting arbitrarily and being reprimanded.
I felt even more encouraged by their support.
“Now is the final phase.”
I made up my mind once again in an empty conference room and headed straight to the south.
* * *
“Are you ready? Schmitz student.”
“The mental preparation has already been completed in the north.”
“Oh my, this is fun. “What happened?”
When we arrived at Celestina’s house in the south, the magic circle had already been prepared.
A huge magic circle that uses the entire large yard in front of the cabin.
I stood in the center of the magic circle and faced Celestina nervously.
She pushed up her round glasses and checked various safety issues.
“I came here to talk with the people I love and the people who love me.”
“If you love me… “Is the Schmitz student dying or is it the Arlot student who cannot survive?”
“…Have I ever told you anything?”
“No, I just think so for some reason.”
It was Celestina who said that and smiled.
I never spoke to her, and I thought she didn’t have much contact.
Even to a third party, did the relationship between me and Arlot really seem special?
However, Celestina’s face smiled like that looked somewhat unnatural.
That was why.
The thought that suddenly came to my mind and I expressed it in my mouth.
“Are you nervous?”
“…”
Celestina’s face, which had been laughing playfully, suddenly stiffened.
“Tina… ? Ahhh. I’ve already made a big mistake at the academy … “I thought I might be making another mistake and sending the student to his death her her her.”
It was Celestina, tapping the magic circle with her hand with a gloomy expression.
It would definitely be a burden to her.
Due to a bad incident, she was fired from her position as chairman and lives in the south, where her student had to do a huge favor that could cost him his life.
I’ve been thinking only about myself so far, so I didn’t think about how Celestina felt when she listened to my request.
“I don’t think the chairman is wrong.”
“…Yes?”
“As you saw, Chairman, the students at the academy tended to take the war lightly because many of them were from the aristocratic class. And… “
Celestina looks blankly at me with a surprised expression.
I felt embarrassed by her gaze at her, so I looked away from her and cleared my throat.
“Hmm… In conclusion, I was able to meet the devil by being kidnapped at that time, and thanks to that, I was able to stop the war.”
“…Phew! Student Schmitz has a very kind heart. For something like that, I’m not very good at comforting… “
“Don’t laugh… ” “It was a rather serious statement.”
“Ahaha, sorry.”
What was so funny was Celes Tina, bending over to her waist and laughing.
… In my opinion, it would be a stretch to say that the kidnapping was a good thing.
After laughing for a long time, even shedding tears, Celestina stopped laughing.
“Whoa… Really. Student Schmitz is a good person.”
“Thank you for your positive evaluation.”
“Thanks to you, the burden on my mind has been eased. However, please be careful with comments like that now. “If it’s too funny, the magic circle will be disturbed.”
“…Isn’t it already deleveled?”
After talking about it for a while, the magic circle was completed.
Magical power slowly entered the magic circle and the entire forest shook.
I took a deep breath and looked at Celestina infusing her magic from a distance-
“You must arrive safely. Schmitz student? And… “
Celestina tried to say something with a sad expression, but at that moment, my vision became blurred.
* * *
“…Is it a success?”
Is it correct to call it an uninhabited island? The place we arrived at was a small island.
When I arrived at the sandy beach of an uninhabited island with waves crashing, I looked around.
The total area is probably about half of the academy.
Although it is called the grand name of ‘the end of the world,’ it is actually an uninhabited island with only a moderate amount of forest.
I’ve tried it myself in a previous game, but I was honestly disappointed.
Because its existence itself was just an Easter egg, there was no event or anything.
While thinking about useless things, I check the magic circle surrounding me.
‘Luckily it’s still there.’
Because arriving at the end of the world is not the end and you have to come back.
After confirming that there was no problem with the magic circle, we were about to explore the island.
“You are…” !”
My body, which was about to walk, stopped and froze.
A voice came from behind me.
I knew the owner of this voice.
To be exact, a voice that can no longer be heard in ‘this world’.
I slowly turned around and checked the identity of the voice-
“You… “Good?”
A woman wearing a patient uniform with short black hair.
I missed her so much and tried to save her by giving her hundreds of millions of dollars.
My sister who couldn’t do that, Yoo Seon-ha.
She was standing in front of me.
