Chapter 323: Return to the Imperial Capital 2
"Isn't it boring to wait outside all the time, how about a cup of tea?"
The old man sitting in the driver's seat looked down at the Pleiades who had come back from making tea, and opened his eyes slightly in surprise.
The venue came out of the house again, parked next to the dragon cart in front of the main entrance.
Sure enough, it was the expected plot. After a man in the shadows muttered, the figure dissipated, and the old man squinted, withdrew his gaze from the corner, remained silent, and smiled: "This is really rude. Because of a slight accident, it was rude from above again"
The old gentleman leaped out of the driver's seat in front of the Pleiades, as before.
As before, there was almost no sound of landing.
"That's what you say. Indeed slightly, a slight dry cough in the throat."
Pleiades suddenly felt that her eyes had been opened, and hurriedly said, "Ah, please do it." Because I don't know my hobbies, I used the most expensive tea first, ahahaha. ”
Handing out the word cup, a soft smile was carved into the old gentleman's face. Looking at the wrinkles corresponding to his age appearing at the corners of his mouth, he carefully observed him who immediately walked to his side. And then—
"Oh wow, what's wrong......?"
Suddenly, Pleiades, who felt a slight impact from the side, said in surprise. When I turned my head, I saw the tip of the dragon's nose lightly pressing against the shoulders of the Pleiades. The earth dragon, whose skin was pitch-black, looked at the Pleiades with its sharp reptilian gaze.
Being stared at like this, the Pleiades developed an incredible feeling that was different from the unhappy mood. Maybe it's because from the steady gaze of the earth dragon, there is no relationship that resembles something like hostility.
"Well, I'm sorry. Even though it's such an earth dragon, it's also the best earth dragon in the house."
"Oh, no, don't care. It's better to feel lucky to be able to meet it."
"It's great to be able to say that. - Hmm, it's rare for this earth dragon to react like this."
After apologizing for the earth dragon's rudeness, the old gentleman whispered and looked at the Pleiades with cyan eyes. It was as if it had been shot through a sharp gaze, and the Pleiades body froze unconsciously.
“...... It's rude, but is it a war wound?"
"Isn't it an exaggerated thing like a war wound, but a lot of things have happened......
"The teeth of the beast, the scars of the claws. Protecting the left half of his body, is it also because of this effect?"
Just seeing the sweatshirt with rolled up sleeves, those white scars can see through the reason in the eyes of the old gentleman who is amazing. It is also true that since the injury, the Pleiades have been thinking about the left side of his body when he is active.
"—so much rudeness is sorry. There are some things I don't want to answer."
Facing the silent Pleiades, the old gentleman accepted the black tea into his mouth.
"Nice taste. It's something that's exciting."
“...... It's not an exaggeration or anything, it's really the most expensive tea in the house. Probably, the peach-haired maid will really go crazy if you drink it without permission."
If the unauthorized use of the highest tea leaves that are "strictly forbidden to be taken out" is exposed, there is no doubt that what awaits Ram's preaching.
"So, what do you want me to do with this old bone with this tea bait?"
The old gentleman asked with an expression of intent that closed one eye and looked at this side. Sensing the intentions of the Pleiades, whether it is talking or behaving, it is all a constant flow of tension.
Realizing that even if the young child provoked a war of words, the chances of winning were very rare, and the Pleiades raised the white flag early.
"I surrendered. - My name is Natsuki Pleiades. Now, apprentice servants in this mansion. At the very least, I want to ask for your name."
Young people should admit that they are young, and relying on the compassion of the elderly is the maximum.
The old gentleman softened his cheeks slightly.
"That's so polite. I'm Wilhelm. Now working at the Calustin family, it is a job to accept the body"
"Wilhelm, huh. Thank you. ...... By the way, at least the reason to visit today...... No, can't you even know the inside story?"
"The messenger should be talking inside at a critical time now."
"Even so, I was suddenly banned from participating. It's not fun to keep talking without participating in the event, it's my way of approaching or something."
Know that this is not an opponent who can simply speak. However, in addition, stepping into the other party's close place in one breath is also a means of pride. Half a bucket of water doesn't look at the atmosphere, but it won't turn into the result of not going to school.
Wilhelm's attitude towards the greed of the Pleiades lost words for a moment.
"If your plan falls through, you don't be impulsive, and if you think about it, you don't flinch when you see through it, but spread it out - depending on the opponent, it's a very unpleasant and disadvantageous character."
“...... Can't you just want to know?"
"For me, who doesn't know where you stand in this mansion, I can't talk about this matter carelessly. I hope you understand."
Wilhelm's expression softened at the sight of a mean-looking one, and it was futile to continue to be brazenly willing. If this continues, it will only add cases that will make Ram angry.
"It's just that I saw the closeness between you and Mistress Emilia. Isn't that how a simple maid looks."
"Oh, oh, really? Does little Emilia and I seem to have an extraordinary relationship?"
"Little ......?"
He frowned at the incredulous way of addressing him.
Then, Wilhelm noticed the Pleiades' thoughts and a wry smile emerged.
"We're on a steep path. Maybe they'll be the next queen of Rugunica?"
"Now it's just a super cute girl and an inconspicuous maid. The future is infinite, and the possibilities are infinite. Wilhelm is, and the insiders are probably the most lovely in the world. Didn't you think so and proposed?"
"The wife is—"
For the extreme statement of the Pleiades, Wilhelm was speechless for a moment. But, immediately, he nodded.
"I see. As you said. I also think that my wife is the most beautiful in the world. It felt like whoever was watching her. Maybe it's not worthy, it's a shame to be there."
"Isn't it? If I had to give her to anyone, I would turn her into mine, even if she wasn't worthy of it. The next step is to be a win-win ideal state that can become a compatible existence."
"What a person who acts with interesting theories. It's really interesting. - But, I'm just a master. I don't think it can be of any use."
"Is that so? To be able to detect the true form of Emilia in a hood, is it a bit difficult to explain the reason that she is just a royal master?"
“——”
Wilhelm's expression disappeared into silence at Pleiades' unintentional statement.
"Little Emilia is wearing a robe, handmade by a suspicious magician, and seems to have the effect of hindering cognition. Something has happened lately, and the cloak attached to the hood has been refurbished and strengthened - either with Emilia's permission, or if it weren't for someone who could break through the thing, it wouldn't have been able to see through it."
A combination of Rozval's robes - this is the so-called precautionary plan to avoid the problems that Emilia's half-elf voice is likely to incur.
This is to protect her who lives in this world and can't help but bear unreasonable conditions.
"-I've speculated on this side from the beginning.,It's really a flattering person."
When I was making tea in the house, I thought, "Isn't it strange?" Serendipitous, serendipitous"
For Hehe's frivolous smile of the Pleiades, Wilhelm's gaze changed. At least, it's not just a small role in making tea, it's judged like this.
"It's just a royal master, doesn't that make sense. ...... As you can imagine, I'm indeed someone who has something to do with the Succession War - no, I have to say someone who has something to do with someone."
"It's related to someone you're in a relationship with...... Is that to say, in the same position as me?"
"The reason is not because of love, this is what makes me different from you."
"This must be because there is the world's first beauty, and the relationship between the inner and the inside, I didn't think about it at all. But I think Emilia is better in terms of cuteness."
"No, if you want to talk about love, it should be my wife who is better."
I was only going to make a joke, but I was stubbornly replied, and I stumbled all of a sudden.
Realizing a counterattack on the conversation that had been pulled to this extent, Wilhelm's face softened slightly.
"But—it seems, the time has come."
"Huh?"
Faced with the Pleiades, who made an unsightly sound, Wilhelm silently gestured with his hand in the direction of the mansion.
"Out of Rem and ...... Who?"
It happened to be with the blue-haired maid who was used to seeing it, and someone who had never seen it came out of the house. Judging from the direction of the topic and Wilhelm's attitude, it seems that the messenger in that person's official words must have been.
"If you calm down like this, it's really an unusual magic wind."
Unexpectedly, I felt that it was probably because that person really did not fit the so-called "messenger" from the outside.
The man noticed Pleiades' gaze and approached with a prankster smile on his face.
"Eh-hey, although I know that I am fascinated by seeing beautiful women, but I want to stare at it like this without being rude."
Saying this, she cut her medium-length flaxen hair, and she has a cute and unrelated girl.
The height is considered tall for women, almost the same as the Pleiades. But in terms of figure, there is no need to compare, and there is a femininity between gestures - it is better to say that it is full of the feeling of a little devil.
The flaxen hair was adorned with white ribbons, and the big eyes shone with curiosity like a cat's cuteness.
"If you appear in front of you like this, you do have magical powers, cat ears."
"Meow?"
As if in response to the whisper, the ears of the beast, the same color as the hair, trembled. So far, I haven't had much contact with subhumans, but it's really good to look at the real thing up close like this.
- It's just that I have to suppress myself as a coat color expert, and I have to work so hard that I have to work so hard.
Letting go of the pleiades that she felt trembling inexplicably, the girl turned to Wilhelm, who came to greet her.
"I'm back, Viru. Sorry for making you wait outside. It's boring, isn't it?"
"No, no, this talker here who has been the old bone has had an unexpectedly pleasant time."
"Hunew?"
In response to the old man's answer, the girl put her fingers on her cheek and tilted her head slightly. The cat's pupils thinned and stared straight at the Pleiades.
"Ahh This way, this way. You're the boy Mistress Emilia said she was."
Looking at the pleiades from top to bottom like licking, the girl knocked her hand as if she had received it.
However, the actions that followed were indeed unexpected.
"Eh, eh, eh!?"
"Don't move, now, want to investigate a little"
The arm went around the embarrassed Pleiades, and the girl's slender body hugged the Pleiades.
Although she is about the same height, her face is right next to the Pleiades. The voice tickled in his ear, as if the feeling of being scratched spread throughout his body, and the Pleiades blushed with shame.
With a soft feeling and, a floating incredible fragrance, I stiffen my face at this sudden situation and pour all my energy to keep calm appearance.
"Ahh
"Yikes!"
Even this effort was shattered in the face of the impact of the light bite on the ear.
A lovely sorrowful cry rose with a smile, and the girl let go of the hug with a satisfied look.
The Pleiades, on the other hand, stepped back and fell to the ground on the spot.
"Whew——, such a lovely response. That's it for now...... As I heard, the flow of water in my body stagnated. I want to do something, but I can't meow now because I don't have time."
"Please, please, please, please do what to me, hey"
"I checked my physical condition a little, and if I bite lightly, it is a service given by Little Fili."
With bewitching eyes, the girl bit her little finger and smiled provocatively. Even if he knew that he was being molested, the Pleiades who had not faded away and blushed now couldn't say anything to complain.
Because it is simply to such an extent, there is no experience that is overwhelmed by gender differences.
"Don't be shy if you're shy. Besides, I haven't heard of meow."
"I haven't heard of anything, what does that mean?"
"The things of your own body——, and the transactions that accompany them——, and so many things related to this?"
To the pleiades who raised their eyebrows, the girl revealed something that was reverie and waited for a reaction. Although there is something in mind for this attitude, but now the Pleiades can only rely on the girl's leisure.
"It's a lot of things that would have helped me if I could listen to them."
"Eh——, what should I do——。 This is also an important task...... Yikes!"
"Is it necessary to do this, Phyllis?"
To the girl who repeatedly teased the Pleiades, Wilhelm, who was standing behind, reproached. Hearing the old man's words, the girl pursed her lips.
"Hmph——, Viru is too serious. Really, I don't understand the amorous meow."
"His Royal Highness has a tea of kindness to me. Besides, it's almost time."
Inexplicably conceenedly talking, Wilhelm bowed. The girl still looks dissatisfied.,But it seems to have regrouped and sent a wave to the Pleiades.。
"Sorry meow. If you want to flirt a little more, the time is also meowed, and I will leave today. If you don't hurry back to the lovely Lord Cruxiu, you'll be worried that you won't be able to sleep until the night."
"If you can't ignore it, put it aside, who is Lord Crushio?"
"It's better to remember. - This is the name of the great man who will one day become the king of this country."
"What a big talker. ”
Natsuki was full of chagrin.
Only this last sentence disappeared the frivolous tone that had been until now and contained a serious taste. Waving goodbye to the silent Pleiades and the maiden, Wilhelm put the empty cup back on the plate.
