Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

chapter 26



26 – After-sales service

The lady who approached and Shaula checked the time and left me in a hurry.

“It’s not long until lunchtime. We’ll be on our way!”

“Have a good class, both of you.”

I waved to the young lady and Shaula leaving the gymnasium. Regula was still standing next to me waving.

…Aren’t you going?

“Isn’t Regula going?”

“I don’t have afternoon classes today. So, can you lighten up one more game?”

“If you want to do more in the future, please ask my lady for permission.”

“You just need Europa’s permission, right? Wait a minute.”

She left and headed for the place where the young lady had left. As she was sitting in the corner of the gymnasium, taking out her book and rereading what she had read, Regula appeared.

Sorry expression and heavy steps. She, too, would have kicked her out like a lady at the door.

“The Taurus family said they were stubborn bulls, but it’s true…Three years younger than me, I didn’t expect them to be so stubborn…”

“If you want to share the sword with me, try to convince my lady well, Regula-sama. Then I’ll be on my way.”

“…Can’t you secretly deal with me just once?”

“Is it okay for the eldest daughter of the Leo family to be so sloppy?”

Why are people here so sloppy when things don’t go their way? So did Shaula, and she didn’t expect this person to do this either.

Ah! The future of the empire is bleak!

“That… It’s because I don’t normally use a sword. Maybe it’s because it’s not a weapon I normally use…”

She originally used a two-handed ax with a large blade as her weapon, she said. The swordsmanship handed down from generation to generation is a swordsmanship that is close to the scaffolding for their unique breaking techniques. When he wielded a two-handed axe, his swordsmanship had no choice but to produce such a heavy and forceful trail.

“Then can I use my original weapon to fight you?”

“Right, you said you don’t use a sword. So what weapon do you mean?”

“I used to fight with my bare hands. That’s how I learned from the butler, and you shouldn’t rely on weapons. Even if it’s Regula-sama right now, won’t you make excuses for losing your weapon to me?”

As I showed my hand and said, Regula’s face was dazed as if it had been hit by a hammer. Well, no one likes these ugly, scarred, calloused hands.

“…Then I’ll raise my sword again, even with my bare hands…”

“Haa, no work.”

It’s too much for Shaula alone. Because of her now completely changed personality, what will happen to her in the future and what will happen to her original protagonist, Lars, is not known.

I still have a year left, but I didn’t want to affect the other heroines in this way.

“When Regula-sama says he’s ready, I’ll do it just one more time. After that, I will never sparr with you.”

“…What a bold butler. No matter what I do?”

“Have you thought about whether the number affects the family? Do you think rumors will spread that the emperor’s collateral family is doing vain things?”

I brought up the story of my family because I didn’t want to bother or get involved any more. If it’s her thing to her family, she’s dead, for it was she who woke up. I wondered if her expression was wrinkled at my words, and then she sighed.

“It’s a pity that there seems to be someone to deal with now.”

“It’ll show up in a year. I guarantee it.”

Because Lars will be enrolled at that time. Since he entered the school, he drew attention for his ability as a first-time sword expert, and the heroines followed suit.

“Huh? You seem to know something. Yes, I’ll look forward to it. But if it doesn’t show up in a year…”

“I’ll deal with you again at that time. Without the lady’s knowledge.”

She pointed her scarred fist at her inside her. Regula grinned at the outstretched fist and hit it back.

“It must be fun to have a tryst with an attendant who came without the owner’s knowledge.”

She smiled as if she was satisfied with my answer.

“It doesn’t hurt me either way.”

“That won’t hurt me.”

You just said you liked him because of his unusual zodiac sign.

Regula and Sirius parted ways at the exit of the gymnasium and went back to the dormitory, disgusted by her words that they would promise the next meeting.

In the middle of the day, I stopped by a dessert shop and bought a lot of cream puffs and cakes that I hadn’t eaten before, and even pudding for Europa.

Although each person is different, according to Shaulla’s words that she seeks out sweets during menstruation, she only made up for what was lacking, and she thought that she did not put much selfishness into it.

Sirius organizes the desserts he brought and reads the borrowed book again. He read and read it over and over and memorized it like he was studying to ask William.

With the sound of the front door opening, Europa came in.

“I’m here.”

“Welcome? How was the other classes?”

“It was more fun than I thought. I think today’s class can go on as it is. And…”

She handed over the lunch box that was given to her in the morning. There was even her share of Shaulla, so her two cognitions overlapped.

“You don’t have to pack lunch from now on. I’ll come to the dormitory after class and eat it, so just prepare it well.”

“Isn’t it a bit far from the academy building? It must be hard to go back and forth every time…”

“You don’t need to pack lunch in the morning, and we just eat lunch together. What’s so hard? You… Don’t you want to eat with me?”

Now, the half-closed eyes that often appear when threatening him.

“Oh, no. It can’t be. hahahaha. I was just afraid the young lady would be uncomfortable.”

“If I need a packed lunch in the future, I’ll tell you the day before. I heard that sometimes you go out of the capital or have a half-day outdoor class from the morning.”

“…I’ll do whatever you want, young lady.”

Europa stares at Sirius with an awkward smile, snorts at him, goes to her room to change his clothes, and closes the door. Her Sirius spoke louder than before.

“My lady, are you feeling well?”

“Yeah. Yesterday was a little rough, but I think I’m much better now. But I have to be careful.”

Sirius cheers a little, wondering if he can get out of his body pillow situation. In the meantime, she had already changed her clothes and came out.

He wore an ivory-colored cotton tee and knee-length black shorts, and his hair was tied in a light ponytail. It was a comfortable outfit that anyone could only wear at home.

“Come to think of it, you didn’t say much to Regula, did you?”

She sat down on the sofa arranged in her living room. Sirius simply handed over pomegranate tea made with pomegranate petals and pulp. Since her pomegranate is a good food for women, it was boiled for her suffering from dysmenorrhea.

“I didn’t say much. Regula-sama originally told me to use an axe, but I stopped him from doing it again. Come to think of it, would you like to use a weapon other than a sword, too?”

In the original version, her weapon was a greatsword she was confident in. She would have been the best choice since she was supported by her family’s unique strength and stamina. She is good at swordsmanship, but she suggested it with the thought that she had to choose a weapon that suited her.

“Okay. I’ll try one by one when I’m feeling a little better. Hang out for the night like you did before.”

“Of course. It’s my job to make sure she grows up right.”

“If you do anything, it’s your job.”

Her mouth grumbled as she drank the pomegranate tea, but her eyes were lined up. Whether her tea was delicious or whether he liked his behavior was something only she knew.

“And I met a strange girl this morning. She said she was the enemy of the family and looked at her like she was dying.”

“Is he…Is he from the Aries family?”

“How did you know? Shaula explained to me when I was gone?”

He expected to meet Nefeli Aries soon. Because she is also the third heroine, it is described that she has been bickering with Europa every day since she was in the first year, and even when she joined the harem, arguing with Europa was a routine episode.

“It’s what Uncle Gillian told me before, and this book also mentions what happened when I went to the Aries family.”

“What book is it? Will and…Gil’s…A riot? What’s the name of the book?”

“It’s a story about the butler and Uncle Gillian while serving the Count. I, the butler of the family, didn’t want to be seen by others, so I couldn’t help but notice.”

Europe frowned at those words. Displeased with being noticed by his own attendant, he nervously put down the cup he drank from.

“I heard from Shaula, but why are you doing to me what Mr. William did…”

“…Did Shaula tell you about that too?”

“He knew it well as if it were his own business. I don’t know how much research he did.”

She nodded her head in agreement with what she said. Sirius added that the information guild would have bought it for a few dozen gold coins with this amount of information.

“I’m going to have to say something to the butler soon. If you read here, what I’ve heard is new foot blood.”

“Really? Let’s read together. Would you like to sit next to me?”

She sat down on her couch and tapped the seat next to her, lightly with the palm of her hand. He, too, naturally sat down beside her and opened the book.

“I’ve read it a lot, but it’s fun to read it again.”

“Isn’t it bursting inside?”

“The person who wrote it wrote it for fun. Let’s see, the writer…”

「Author: Aldebaran Taurus」

Sirius began to sweat coldly at the identity of the writer. Count, why the hell…?

“…That was the Count.”

“Your dad wrote it. Sounds like fun.”

I leaned beside her and looked at the book as if nothing had happened to the identity of the author. It was a skinship that she had the courage to do, but as if nothing was wrong, Sirius started reading the book.

My mouth came out a little at his appearance, but that was for a while, and we read the book happily while laughing and chatting together in an interesting scene. At night, he was still her body pillow, as he always was.

After three days of such an ordinary daily life, Friday morning came. Europa’s menstruation also showed signs of ending completely.

“I’m glad there’s no bleeding anymore. I used to be annoyed by the blood every day.”

After changing out of her school uniform, she approached Sirius with light steps. As he prepared a light breakfast, he sighed in relief.

“I’m glad it ended on Friday. But take your medicine just in case.”

“That’s right. It’s Friday when we’re supposed to visit the capital, so don’t get sick.”

As promised, I decided to visit the capital with him on Friday afternoon. Shaulla heard that she had classes in the afternoon and was sorry that she couldn’t go with them, so it was a perfect plan for just the two of them.

“That’s right. I have an appointment with the lady, so I need to prepare for full bloom. How can I tie it up today?”

“With your favorite hair.”

She nodded at her words as she was eating breakfast and skillfully tied her hair behind her back. His favorite hairstyle, half-up. It made me look more mature for my age, and I thought it suited me the most, so I naturally went for it.

“I see you doing it all the time, but you tie it up very nicely”

“I don’t know what to do with the compliment.”

“And it’s really good.”

I slightly pinched Sirius’s thigh as she stood while tying her hair. It was funny how he didn’t let go of his head while running away saying he was in pain, so he waved his hands back and forth.

Avoiding her hand, after twists and turns, he tied her hair up and quickly got out of her side. It was a pity that I couldn’t have more fun, but now it’s time to go to class. He packed his bag and walked out the front door.

“I’ll be back. Waiting for the afternoon… How?”

She couldn’t finish her words and found a piece of paper attached to her door and tore it open. Sirius came out to the front door out of curiosity and saw the identity of the paper.

「Look at the wicked and ruthless Taurus family daughter! I think both of you have improved now, so I challenge you to a formal duel! Bet the honor of the family versus the family and accept it! See you at the gymnasium at 4pm! If you don’t attend, the Taurus family will spread rumors that they ran away in fear from the Aries family!”

After reading it all, he shook his head as if it was absurd and thought it was just a simple happening, but she thought differently.

She was full of thoughts of spending time with Sirius, but she tore the paper to shreds thinking that this one ruined it.

“My, what the hell did I do… I’m going to really smash it!”

Her anger spread throughout the dormitory.

Seeing that anger, Sirius thought he should write down what happened because of the owner of the house in her report.

He writes down what he suffered.
