Chapter 8: What Reward Do You Want?

"Well, wake up, sister. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info」

"yes, wake up, Rem."

When I opened my eyes again, I started with two girlish voices with the same timbre.

The soft and comfortable touch was the same as the previous bed, and the eyelids that burned the Pleiades woke up with a little sunlight shining in through the curtains—it must have felt like morning.

"It's not so much the Night Cat Clan, but I have half of the Night Clan's bloodline, and as soon as I wake up in the morning, my chest will be hot......

While recalling the days and nights when he refused to go to school, he woke up and propped up his upper body, rotated his neck, shoulders, and waist pole like this, and then looked at the window.

"It's almost seven o'clock in the morning, guest."

"It's seven o'clock in the morning, guest."

The voice kindly informs the time. Seven o'clock in the morning - I don't know what it means, but I can literally imagine it as seven o'clock in the morning.

"So, if I didn't count the time I woke up, I slept all day. It's not a big deal for me to sleep for two and a half days."

"Oh, what a wastewood speech. Do you hear that? Sister."

"yes, that's a statement. I hear you, Rem."

"By the way, who are you who have been scolding me in a stereo binolet since just now, ladies!"

He kicked off the quilt and jumped to his feet, but stood on the left and right sides of the bed, and the girls he was watching were taken aback, and trotted to the center of the room to meet. The two held each other's hands and leaned their faces together to look at the Pleiades.

Two girls standing side by side - twins who look exactly the same.

The height is 150 centimeters in the middle, and the big eyes, pink lips, and shallow-contoured face make the childish and cute coexist at the same time, which can be described as pitiful to me. The hairstyle is the head of the short-haired sister, and the hair is divided in different directions, causing the two to cover their left and right eyes respectively.

In addition to the hair parting, there is also the hair color – pink and blue are two characteristics that can be distinguished.

I have roughly observed the Pleiades of twin girls, and my throat trembles unconsciously when my heart is disturbed.

"No...... Even in this world, there is a maid costume!"

Dressed in an apron dress based on black, with a white hair ornament on her head, and a specially modified maid dress with bare and slender shoulders, she complemented the short skirt and clearly showed the curves of her figure, which was extremely sensational. Even the Pleiades, who are not very knowledgeable about maid costumes, know that this dress must reflect the designer's naked interest - however, it is also an indisputable fact that the twin beautiful girls wear this outfit.

"The impression of a maid is that it is a reflection of self-cultivation...... But that's not bad!"

"Oh no, my sister was forced to suffer a lewd insult in the guest's mind."

"Oops, Rem was forced to accept the limits of shame in the minds of the guests."

"Don't look down on my brains, both of them are victims of my delusions."

The hands of the Pleiades were crossed, and the palms of the hands were spread in the air, and the ten fingers moved. This senseless gesture made the two maids shiver, and the maidens let go of their holding hands and shook each other instead.

"Please spare your life, guest, please let Rem go and insult my sister."

"Stop, guest, just let Ram run away and insult Rem."

"It's ugly enough, what kind of sisterly love is this! Forget about betraying each other, and let me be the big villain!"

Just as the two maids pushed each other as victims, the Pleiades narrowed their triangular eyes, hesitating to open their fangs on whom to open their fangs first, only to suddenly find out......

「…… Can't you just wake up a little quieter?"

Knocking twice on the open door, the girl who saw the three of them standing in the doorway.

The waist-length silver hair was not tied up today, but was left to fall naturally behind the back. The costume is not a robe seen in the royal capital, but an eye-catching white costume that fits the slender figure. The skirt was unexpectedly short, and the slender legs made the Pleiades can't help but strike a joyful pose.

"I knew it! I knew I was the chosen one!"

「…… I don't know what you know, but I guess it's boring, and it's a shame."

Emilia, a silver-haired girl, stares at the cheering Pleiades with a bored-looking look.

Emilia's sudden visit made the Pleiades look confused and rebound in one go.

After being summoned to another world, Emilia, who became a confidant just by talking to her, has a special place in her heart.

"If you have spirit, it's better than anything else, Pleiades."

At this moment, another voice joined the conversation, and the Pleiades looked at it, it was a confident, serious and reliable guy, and a companion who had traveled to another world together, with a strange name, A.

“A! Tell me, how did you get that power? "The Pleiades have always been very concerned about this problem, they are all traversers, how can they be treated differently? This guy is a pervert who is so strong when he comes to another world, and he is still like an ordinary person.

"I can't explain this, you just treat me as if I had an adventure, and 'biubiu' will become Long Aotian in two clicks." A said self-deprecatingly.

Emilia said, "Well, don't discuss those strange things, go to breakfast first, and introduce you to Rozval, the owner of this mansion." ”

****

"That's how it feels from above...... Your head seems stupid."

The twins take them to the restaurant and say they want to have breakfast, but they meet the curly-haired girl who uses these words instead of greetings.

Emilia went back to her room first in order to change her clothes, so she and she were separated halfway, and now only Pleiades, A, and the curly-haired girl are in the dining room. The girl's sarcasm elicited a look of great displeasure.

"In the crisp morning, when we meet, we suddenly say something like that, you Lori."

"What's that word? I've never heard of it, but I feel very uncomfortable."

"It's not within the scope of the strategy.,Young.。 I'm not interested in young people."

「…… It's sad to be rude to Betty to such an extent."

Deliberately ignoring the girl's sarcastic words, the Pleiades looked around at the spacious dining room.

There is a white cloth table in the center of the restaurant, and several seats have been set up with plates, and if you have prepared a portion, then a certain seat at the end of the table is the Pleiades.

"Can I, who don't even know table manners, be allowed to attend?"

"Arrogant to the extreme. Since you don't understand, you should look like you don't understand, so it's better to bow your head obediently."

"Rather than bow down to you, I'd rather sit on the throne and be scolded bloody."

Facing the red-faced and angry girl, the Pleiades waved her hand and was about to sit down on the main seat. Eighty percent of those sitting in this position are Emilia or the owner of the house, and the probability is half each.

Seeing Ang Zhen sitting on the main seat, the curly-haired girl shook her head with a disgusted expression.

A hurriedly came out to make a round: "Betty and Pleiades don't quarrel, this is not nutritious at all, Pleiades, you should also pay attention to what you say, if you communicate with women normally, you won't be so rude, right?" Although you are now a student, you still need to pay attention to your behavior when you come into contact with society in the future. ”

"A, why do you even say that? Aren't we good brothers who have crossed over here together? Shouldn't we take care of each other? ”

"I'm guiding you as an elder."

Before he could say something, the door to the restaurant was opened.

"Excuse me, guest, the delivery is here."

"Excuse me, guest, the delivery of cutlery and hot tea is here."

The door to the dining room opened, and the twin maids pushing the dining cart walked in.

The blue-haired maid served the orthodox breakfast contents, such as salads and bread, while the pink-haired maid quickly poured tea into her cup and assigned it to each seat. The hot aroma made the Pleiades' stomach can't help but scream.

"Wow—yes, yes, nobility. I was still wondering what I would do if I was filled with strange food from another world."

The fact that the venue is in a different world makes people worry about what kind of food will be served, and it is finally reassuring to see the dishes.

In general, there are no foods that pose a major physical or mental crisis.

With an appetite high, the Pleiades leaned the whole person back of the chair, letting only the two chair feet bear the weight, and the creaking sound of the chair resounded through the dining room, adding impatience to the girl's pretended face.

For some reason, Pleiades just wanted to tease the curly-haired girl. The idea of a prank that made her fake expression disintegrate due to emotion.

"Aha-ah, is there any-good thing? Good-something, good-something."

Before that, the happy sound of a new person stepping into the restaurant interrupted everything.

He is a very tall person.

Half a head taller than the Pleiades, his dark blue hair was so long that he almost touched his back.

However, in terms of physique, it is closer to slender than thin, and the color of the skin is also sickly white.

With a decent appearance, he looks like a depressed and gloomy beautiful young man.

The different eye colors of the left and the right blue sharply reinforce that impression.

- If it weren't for the outfit with a strange color scheme, and the face makeup of a clown at all.

「…… Do you still hire clowns for afterglow before eating? I really don't understand what rich people think."

"You can roughly guess what you're thinking, but Betty won't interfere."

"It's cold, Betty. I'm a companion with you, right? Chat with me more warmly."

"Betty has nothing to do with you, and besides, you are not allowed to call Betty by her name."

The indifferent girl shrugged her shoulders and left the conversation, and the Pleiades made a bitter face at her attitude. The clown who stepped into the restaurant looked at the girl like the Pleiades, and then widened his eyes.

"Oh——? It's a surprise that Beatrice will be here. After a long time, you finally want to dine with me, isn't that very open-hearted?"

"It's enough for someone with a happy head to have a guy over there, Betty is just waiting for Gege."

Ruthlessly cutting off the intimate speech, the girl, Beatrice, cast her eyes behind the clown, and the one who stepped into the dining room slower than the clown was the silver-haired girl who had changed her clothes.

"Gege!"

Jumping up, Beatrice shook her dress and ran over. The smile that blooms like a flower is full of cuteness and charm, and it makes people forget the arrogance of the girl so far.

Beatrice's gaze stood in front of Emilia, but it wasn't her who responded.

"Yo, Betty. I haven't seen you for four days, have you been a dignified lady with spirit?"

Beatrice nodded to Parker, a gray kitten that emerged from her silver hair with ease.

"I'm looking forward to Gege coming back, let's spend it together today."

"Well, no problem, it's been a long time since I've been like this, so let's spend it together today."

"Wow—that's great!"

Jumping off Emilia's shoulder, Parker landed on Beatrice's outstretched palm. Holding Parker lovingly, Beatrice spun happily on the spot.

"Hehe, frightened, right? Beatrice is so sticky to Parker."

"It's been a long time since I've heard the word 'frightened'......

Emilia, with a mischievous smile, walked towards the Pleiades who were frightened by this happy scene. As soon as she spat out the established line to Amilia, who had spoken few words, she let out a "Huh?" The sound pointed to the Pleiades.

"Oh, Pleiades, that seat ......."

"Ah, yes! No, it's not. Well, you see, if the chair is cold and you sit up, you may even lose your soul, so I'm just helping to warm it up first, but I don't want to touch it indirectly?"

In front of Emilia, whose eyes were wide open, the Pleiades slid down from her chair as she had failed in her huge plan.

"Ahh I see, you may not be able to pass on your body temperature to Mistress Amilia, but I'll take it carefully—"

The clown reached out and patted Pleiades' shoulder as if comforting, then smiled.

They took turns looking at the hands touching their shoulders and the clown's gentle smiling face, and the Pleiades wrinkled their faces in disgust.

"What is this clown, he loves to pretend to be familiar."

「…… No, Pleiades, this person is ......."

"Ahh

Although the tone was impatient, the speeches were extremely serious. The clown took everyone's eyes like this, pulled up a chair and sat down slowly.

Sit at the top of the huge table, where the Pleiades have just sitted.

"Hey, it's not for me to say, if you sit there casually, you might be scolded by great people."

"Don't worry about it...... Looks like you haven't registered with the Pleiades yet."

Hearing Pleiades' advice, Emilia was dumbfounded. It's just that her dumbness is not to the Pleiades, but to the clown.

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning—that's, this—meaning."

Faced with Pleiades' question, the clown sitting in the chair responded with his hands outstretched.

"I'm the owner of this house, Rozval L. Mezzas – yes, too. You've spent your time in peace and comfort in the Humble House, and that's more important than—anything else—Natsuki Pleiades."

A perverted aristocrat dressed as a clown, cheeky enough to report his name refreshed.

Led by Rozval, who sat in the main seat, everyone sat down in their prepared seats and began to enjoy breakfast.

"Hmm...... It's better than normal food."

From the food displayed in front of you, plundering salads and soups to the pleiades in your mouth, you can express your feelings.

"Hehe, right, in this way, Rem's food is very affordable, right?"

The proud Rozval nodded in response, and the Pleiades looked at Rem, who was supposed to be in charge of cooking. Rem gestured with his hand in his gaze with his index finger and little finger up, although I don't know what that means, but eighty percent of it is the gesture of the world representing V, right?

"Well, let's get down to business, do you know what the state of this country, the Kingdom of Lugnica, is in now?"

"Completely, completely, without knowing anything."

"Being asserted so refreshedly by you makes me amazed at the way you live."

Isn't that a compliment, is it a compliment, after seeing Emilia's loving eyes, Pleiades thought to herself. Although it is not a tactic to provoke protection, the inner sense of distance has indeed become like that of a mother and a child.

"Referring to the state of the country...... Is something bad happening?"

"It's not very stable, after all, Lugnica has no king."

Savoring Rozval's words, the Pleiades suffocated after understanding the meaning.

After throwing a wary look at the man in clown makeup, the Pleiades immediately took a stand in his seat.

"No—with such vigilance, there's no need to worry, because it's a fact—it's known to the people in the market."

"That's right. No, is it the kind of plot where you're told a dangerous secret and can't go back alive?"

"I only know when I tell you, Ang is really pitiful...... All in all, the country is very unstable because of this."

I see. The Pleiades can understand that the state of the throne is a fatal wound to the kingdom's business model. Whether it was death or other reasons, the sudden "death" of the king would shake the whole country.

"However, isn't this situation usually resolved by the king's heir?"

"Generally speaking—that's true, but—the cause of the incident goes back six months ago. At the same time as the king's death, a plague spread through the city."

It was declared that infectious diseases only occur in people of a certain bloodline, and Rozval recounted.

It is said that the king and his descendants who lived in the royal city were all extinct.

"I can't blame myself for being sick, but what will happen to the country? Now that the king's blood is gone, is it to give priority to the will of the people to elect the prime minister?"

"I'm done—I don't know what you're talking about for the second half, but the kingdom is running by the Sages for now. Each of them comes from a wealthy family that has left a prominent name in the history of the kingdom, so there is no problem with the operation of the kingdom. But—"

Rozval paused here, reining in his expression.

"—A kingdom without a king should not exist."

"That's right."

Even if it is just decoration, an organization without a mind is not established, and the same is true for the state.

"I see, I'm getting to know more and more. In other words, because there was no king, the kingdom fell into the chaotic storm of choosing a king, and as a result, it narrowed its relations with other countries and became a closed country. At this time, a mysterious alien appeared - I, no matter how I look at it, it is super suspicious!"

"Again—as an additional note, I approached Mistress Emilia in order to establish a relationship with the Metzas family. It's all environmental evidence, but as long as it has that meaning, that alone is enough......

Rozval closed his eyes and posed with a knife in his hand, holding it against his neck to make a decapitation look. Watching Rozval's prank, Pleiades couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat because of this sudden nasty premonition.

That's right, I've always cared about one thing since the beginning.

"Why...... The owner of the mansion wants to add the word 'adult' to the end of Emilia-chan's name?"

The person with the highest status in the mansion has the greatest respect.

The Pleiades felt the restlessness in his chest grow, and black flowers were about to bloom. Rozval smiled at him.

"Of course—huh? Honorific titles should be used to those who are higher than you."

With her mouth open and her body stiff, she looked at Emilia in a mechanical motion that seemed to make a gear grinding sound, and the girl with a serious face exhaled as if she was resigned to fate.

"I didn't mean to lie to you."

"-uh, so Emilia-chan is ......"

The Pleiades, who did not get a lesson and continued to use their nicknames, were made up for the last time.

"My current title is one of the candidates for the forty-second 'Candidate for King' in the Kingdom of Lugnica, and the Rozvaal Frontier over there is my back."

The fact that he was told made him deeply realize that his disrespectful behavior had broken through the sky.

Compared with the surprised reaction of the Pleiades, A was not surprised at all, he had known it for a long time, but the Pleiades were still in the dark.

- The beautiful girl I met in another world is Her Majesty the Queen.

Just looking at this sentence, it is completely orthodox fantasy and strange world style.

To be precise, it was the queen alternate, but when he thought about how he had treated this queen alternate so far, he couldn't help but say, "Even if you have three lives, it's not enough......

"I'm sorry to scare you, I wasn't going to hide it from you for so long."

A, who had been silent, spoke at this time: "To put it concisely and directly, it's the Pleiades, you have been treated as an enemy spy, including me." ”

"Hey! Don't say these things lightly, we're going to be in danger of our lives! ”

The mule smiled heartily: "Ahahaha, yes, you can still eat at this time, you are such an interesting guy, although you are all suspicious, but it is only a suspicion, I am not going to kill you immediately, on the contrary, I have to thank you for helping Mistress Emilia reclaim the important badge." Well, it doesn't seem to be hidden—yikes. My title is the ...... of the Kingdom of Lugnica It's roughly the identity of the border uncle. If you want a better title, it's the court magician. ”

"Court magician...... Or the magician hired by the castle?"

"Yes, and a magician second to none...... This man is the most powerful magician in the kingdom."

The next person to speak was Emilia, but somehow, her expression was a little unhappy. Rozval, who seemed to be happy with her reaction like that, smiled with relaxed red lips.

"Let's continue with these words, my position is to support Mistress Emilia as a candidate for the king, and to put it another way, a patron with good conditions."

"Patron."

Sponsor representatives, is this Rozval's current title?

The Pleiades looked at the tall clown again, then stole a glance at Emilia.

"It's a bit hard to talk about...... But Emilia-chan, can't you just pick a better candidate?"

"There's no way, I don't have anyone to rely on in the kingdom, and the only one who was willing to help me was Rozval, who liked people who were different from ordinary people......

Hearing Emilia say this weakly, and for some reason, A's heart beat violently.

"Originally—it's like this, and it's gone." The Pleiades didn't notice anything yet, and spoke with a big grin.

"You two, you don't know that the sponsor in front of you is terrible—it's a good thing."

Although he felt that he was blinked, let alone angry, Rozval still smiled maturely. Is it a large amount of equipment? Or is he the kind of personality who has to be scorned to be pleasurable?

"What do you want—what? As it stands, I won't refuse, and I'm willing to pay anything to cover up the fact that I've lost my badge. Come on—what do you want?"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, you're a nobleman, and you're very sensible. The reward is exactly what I want, and Rhodes himself will not refuse, and a man will not break his word!"

"It's a heroic statement—yes, it's true, men shouldn't make excuses, and I won't break my word."

The Pleiades are like a little villain, and there is a sound of declining favorability behind him, but all this is to elicit a foreshadowing of Rozval's promise to himself.

After Rozval agreed, the Pleiades smiled.

"I have only one wish, to hire me to work in this mansion."

Contrary to the previous long opening sentence, the Pleiades are concise and powerful.

The pleiades' request made the female lineup behind them froze, and the twins' faces that lacked expression changes showed confusion, and Beatrice showed a really disgusted expression, and A continued to eat, calm and relaxed.

"Okay, I'm ready." Rhodes then turned his gaze to A and asked, "What about you?" What rewards do you want? ”

"Me? If you can, can you give me a good sword? It doesn't matter if you don't, but if you do, you can better protect Emilia and help her win the Chosen One. ”

“A...” Hearing A's vow to protect herself, Emilia blushes in embarrassment.

"Oh, yes, then I'll give you the famous sword [Lion Thunder] that I've been collecting." Rhodes cast his magic, and a sacred sword with white and gold as the dominant color appeared in Rozval's hand.

A took the long sword thrown by Rozval, pulled out the scabbard and looked at it, and suddenly the cold light was shining, and the sharpness seemed to be able to cut through the space.

"Nice sword, thank you, Lord Rozval."

"You're welcome."

At the end of breakfast, Aung stays as a servant of the mansion, and A becomes Emilia's supporter and guardian.

Later, he regretted it, knowing that it would be better to ask to be a diner.
