Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

102 – The prize given to you (5)

I froze the moment I saw the face of the demon manifested in the alleyway of the capital.

To be called a race that lives in the dark, they seemed no different from us to the point of feeling like they were born with a lack of pigment, except for their pale skin and long hair, pointed as if they were going to pierce the sky, and bright red horns like blood.

Why, why did the author suddenly appear among the countless demons? I did not know what causal law brought the author to this position.

Now I just had to stop him, just like the butler did, even if I used my life as bait.

Or else the young lady will buy enough time to escape and meet the same fate as the butler.

When tension came over the whole body, that demon tribe saw the three of them who sacrificed their flesh and blood to manifest themselves, and they snorted and met eyes with me.

“I was offended because I wanted to be involved in a fight between people worse than worms, but looking at your head, you’re the one who murdered Parsus. He was a pretty decent guy for a viscount. If only he hadn’t died at your hands. “

Darkness rose from his hand with an arrogant tone that was inappropriate for his neutral voice, and a long sword the same color as the horn appeared and held it in his hand, but there was no time to worry about it. .

The butler died due to the unique ability of that demon.

Unlike Parsus, the Demon Tribe he had fought before, he knew what the conditions were for an incomparably more ferocious ability, but it was hard to bear the stern fear.

“…Sirius…”

A little voice came from behind. It was my name that I had heard often lately, but I didn’t even have time to pay attention.

“My lady, get out of here right now and ask for help from others. Go to the nearby police station and tell them that a high-ranking demon has appeared, and knights from the capital will come.”

“But what about you…”

I turned my head and met the lady’s eyes for a moment. As always to the lady who looked at me with anxious eyes.

“It’s okay. I’ll tie him up so he doesn’t go anywhere. Don’t worry, I won’t overdo it.”

I was just reading it, saying it was okay. Even if I create anxiety for no reason, the lady’s steps won’t fall.

As the butler always showed me in novels, I gave her reassurance, and then the lady who moved her steps couldn’t take her eyes off me until she entered the corner I mentioned earlier.

And as he finally turned to the right and entered, as he disappeared, he turned his gaze to my nemesis.

“Are you finished?”

Standing still, still holding the sword, he opened his mouth.

“Unexpectedly, I didn’t expect you to wait until the end.”

“I’m different from you, who are considered ignorant. Then, let’s see the skill that killed Parsus once. I hope you satisfy me.”

Hope welled up on his face, which hadn’t changed a single expression until now. Looking at the face of a child who received a new toy as a gift, my body hesitated involuntarily.

Being his new toy, I couldn’t answer. Like the butler’s end, I was afraid that this time it would be my end.

On the one hand, I was less worried.

Because his attention was on me, not on the young lady.

Even if something goes wrong, it’s only me who is wrong.

“Player, don’t yield. I’ll have to see with my own eyes how he killed Parsus.”

The left hand, not holding the sword, was beckoning. Feeling the perceived fear of death in that hand, I suppressed it with a breath, and stamped his feet. In order not to face the same end as the butler in the novel, I was on my nerves.

Even if I made a mistake, I made the first move with a desperate will to take his head.

Wouldn’t there be a surprise event hosted by Chen, the manager, today?

There was one person who didn’t eat food even though it came out of the spring rainbow that was noisy with lovers swollen with anticipation.

“…You and the butler are very late.”

I looked around with worried eyes, but the faces I was looking for were still nowhere to be seen.

“Maybe I was really wrong.”

“…Is that so?”

Shaulla said her resignation, and she eventually accepted, slicing up the steak in front of her and putting it in her mouth, Nefeli pointed her fork at her Shaula and sneered.

“Where is the confident person who told me not to worry before?”

“Oh, sometimes it can be wrong!”

As he blushed at being pointed out and hit the table violently, the cup placed on Ruitena’s side fell to the floor and shattered with a loud sound.

All eyes in the dining room were focused on their table where the sound came from.

It was a messy atmosphere, but she was just staring at the broken cup.

Shallah Mal, hurriedly apologizing.

Nefeli’s words immediately called the staff.

Cleaning up the broken cup, the staff said.

It didn’t come into Ruitena’s ears.

As she looked at the broken cup, anxiety crept up in her heart.

With such an anxious thought that something might have happened to the two of them.

Following Sirius’s words, I hurriedly left the alley. Unlike the quiet and shady alleys without a single light, it was a dazzling evening in the capital, illuminated by the lively and densely installed streetlights that I had seen with Sirius whenever I came out of the capital.

A thrilling chase in an alley where you run out of breath, and a three-on-one fight that ends in vain.

And the appearance of the demon that froze the two of us was so loud that it seemed like a lie.

I shook my head to come to my senses and looked around. First of all, Sirius tried to find the police force he had given an example of, but he couldn’t find it because he was stuck between dense buildings and people pouring and drinking as if tomorrow was his last day.

I escaped from the crowd and ran with more urgency than when I was chased down an alleyway. I didn’t want to lose Sirius, so I looked around desperately.

I was so pathetic that I couldn’t do anything without a single sword. If I had at least a wooden sword, I could have stood by him and helped him.

But I couldn’t. So I left him alone and ran away. Out of breath, I stopped my steps and looked around, breathing heavily, and the place that caught my eye was a performance hall that was brighter and noisier than anywhere else in the capital city.

When I saw the bright red flames from the blast furnace and the sound of the mercilessly pounding hot iron, I entered the blacksmith’s shop without hesitation.

Among the swords hanging on the wall, it is slightly thinner than the sword Sirius gave me as a gift, but the long two-handed sword, the so-called claymore-shaped sword, has a jewel identical to Sirius’s eye embedded at the end of the handle. It looked like he wanted to hold it, so his hand went by itself.

“It’s been a while since I’ve had a guest. Do you want that?”

I heard a heavy voice before my hand reached the handle, so I turned around and saw a man shorter than me, with a beard and full of muscles. As you can tell at a glance, he was a dwarf.

“I’ll write it in a minute and return it. I have something urgent to do.”

“Ask the sword directly. Even if he looks like that, he’s a shy guy, so you’ll have to touch his flesh to find out.”

Following his words as he drew an arc around his mouth over his thick beard, I grabbed his handrail. He was a little heavier than when he had the sword, but there was no problem in wielding it.

But before he could even swing his head, he nodded a couple of times and said,

“He seems to like you too. Even though he looks plain, his hidden teeth are sharp, so be careful when wielding them.”

“Yes. I’ll write it down and return it right away.”

Hanshi was busy. As I was about to leave the smithy in a hurry to go to Sirius, who was holding out alone, the owner urgently grabbed the cardigan wrapped around his waist.

“Isn’t it inconvenient to carry around like that? Try injecting magic into the jewel attached to the end of the handle there.”

As I inject magic into the jewel according to the owner’s words, it turned into a bright yellow bracelet with a bright light and caught on my hand.

“It’s cumbersome to carry such a big guy around every time. If you inject magic power, it will change into one of the two forms you want, so use it as you like.”

“…Thank you very much.”

I nodded and bowed my head to the owner who handed me the things I really needed, and headed back toward the alleyway I came out of.

I know for sure that the demon that appeared in front of us is a high-level demon, but I left there to ask for help from others in the end, but I couldn’t even do that properly.

But if you can’t find someone to help, I can help.

I couldn’t sit comfortably in his shadow forever. I didn’t want to get his hands dirty forever.

I may have longed for his strength without realizing it. When I lost a precious person, I wanted to be like the way he looked at me.

I wanted to stand next to him. We wanted to not only look at each other, but also look in the same direction together.

The alleyway that was unfamiliar when I first came in is no longer unfamiliar. If you go back on the road and now turn left, you will come to the place where the demon and Sirius were.

As I held the bracelet-transformed greatsword in my hand and bent it to the left, I couldn’t take my eyes off the unbelievable sight.

Sirius, covered in blood, spread out on the cold ground, and a demon with a bright red heart in his hand.

I wanted to think that the scene was fake. I wanted to think of it as an illusion created by demons.

I tried to erase the illusion by shaking my head and wrapping my body around the mana, but my heart jumped as if my heart was broken at the approaching reality.

I lost someone important to me again.

That is also the loss of the most precious person in the world.

When I came to my senses, it was a familiar place.

It’s pitch black darkness with nothing at all.

A person standing there.

A person with my face in childhood sat down and said, as if to tell a long story.

“Let’s talk for a minute.”
