CHAPTER 250 – IT’S NOT LIKE ANYBODY IS ALRIGHT

「Attack!」

While three soldiers were about to attack, I silently unsheathed Eleanor .

I chopped one’s head, slashed one diagonally, and severed one from his waist .

I instantly killed the three soldiers .

After that, I faced the man who looks like their captain and stared at him .

I waited for a moment . I waited for the goal I had for coming here .

「Please wait, you are Marquis Yuuki right? We areーー」

「I know」

Their side called my name knowing my identity and I answered .

The condition is fulfilled with this, so I chopped the man from top to bottom .

Half of his body immediately collapsed and half stood for a while, then his eye turned then collapsed .

Soon after, the soldiers ran away .

『Otou-san, is it okay not going after them?』

「It’s alright . After all, my goal is reached with this」

『Is that so?』

『Umu . A person who is favored by Selene intervened while knowing the situation . We need those soldiers who have escaped will become the messenger to spread that fact』

『That’s sounds difficult〜』

『Hikari is fine just like that . You only need to think how to grow as a Demon Sword first . Other things would just follow up later on』

『Un!』

『By the way, the last attack . The reason why he was chopped from top to bottomーー』

Hikari who replied innocently and Eleanor who is teaching her daughter the way of the Demon Sword .

They’re different from an ordinary mother and daughter, but that’s the good thing about it .

☆

I let Duke Melina’s servants out of the cages .

There were some of them who looked ill, so I cured them using my white magic ball .

After that, as the person who saved them, almost all of them started to look at me in a favorable light .

「We thank you」

After a while, the oldest person among the servants, a man with dignity said that to me .

People who have lived for a certain extent would have their behavior in their daily lives fixed .

Those from royal families would still look like someone from the royal family even if they wore a commoner’s clothes .

This man, I could tell easily that he has the demeanor of a “butler” with one look .

「We have been saved all thanks to you」

「Don’t mind it . I only did what I was asked to do」

Just like the soldiers from earlier, I need these people to spread that fact as well, so I said that .

「……Yes」

He was really a butler, he immediately understood what I wanted to say but didn’t say out loud . He had that kind of face .

I handed the man a bag full of silver coins .

Paper notes are only used in Mercouri, so money would be heavy .

「This is?」

「For your travel expenses . Use that to return to your master」

「……」

「What’s the matter?」

I asked the man who made a difficult face .

No, it was not only that man . Looking closely, even the other servants, most of them had a complicated face .

「Is it alright for us to return to the Duke His Excellency」

「You understand why I came to intervene like this right?」

「Yes」

The man answered promptly . Seeing him answer instantly, I don’t think that he doesn’t understand the situation wrongly .

Then why?

「The Duke His Excellency is one who is defeated, is there a future waiting for us if we follow the Duke?」

「……」

『Kukuku』

Eleanor laughed . Her tone sounded like she found it so funny .

「Marquis Yuuki, Your Highness, can you not save us?」

When the butler said that, everyone looked at me at once .

In other words, is it that?

They want to switch over from Melina to me huh?

☆

I used my Warp Feather to return to my mansion .

I appeared in the living room and encountered Miu .

「W-Welcome back, Master」

「I’m back, Miu……what’s the matter?」

Miu who was staring at me timidly looked around me .

She acts as if she was searching for something .

「Master……are you by yourself?」

Looking up to me, Miu……she timidly asked while she checked my expression .

「Yeah, I’m by myself」

「Uhm, uhh……」

Miu was unusually fidgeting and seemed like she wanted to ask more, but .

She also looks like she wants to ask but could not say it out loud . Seeing that Miu, I said,

「This mansion’s maid is Miu alone」

「ーーYes!」

When I told her what she wanted to know the most, she smiled just like a flower had bloomed .

Before I went to rescue, I returned to the mansion once to take Hikari with me . At that time, I told Miu what I was going to do .

And because of that, she was probably curious if I was going to bring in a new maid .

「Miu」

「Yes」

「I want to MofuMofu」

「Understood . I’ll come immediately」

Miu said and left the living room . I was talking to a Miu puppet and it looks like the original would take her place for the sake of MofuMofu .

I sat on the sofa and waited for Miu .

『Ne〜, Otou-san』

「n?」

『Why didn’t you bring those people?』

Hikari asked a natural question .

That’s right, I didn’t bring anyone back .

I only gave them money for traveling expenses and returned .

The reason why I didn’t take anyone backーーthe reason why I didn’t made them my servant .

It’s because I didn’t have a need for anyone who wants to betray their master during troubled times .

They looked strangely expectant because I cured the ill girl, but I am not that kind of person .

Ahh, well, this is more simple .

「It’s because there wasn’t a good woman among them」

『I see!』

Hikari was convinced .

That’s right . There wasn’t any good woman among them .

Among those people who would betray their master, there was no way that there would be a good woman .

『Kukuku, that’s really like you』

「Is it bad?」

『Nope?』

Eleanor said playfully .

『That is what you are』

She said sounding really playful .
