Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

37 – Summer Vacation (1)

After the simple vacation ceremony, on the first day of summer vacation, the young lady and I took a carriage pulled by Uncle Gillian to pack our things to go to the family mansion. Was packing up

“Let’s see, on the way I packed a set of toiletries to wash down, an emergency potion to use in case of injury, and a bandage…Lady, you’ve packed everything…”

I was speechless when I saw the luggage that the young lady had packed so big that she couldn’t take it out of the room. He made it clear that he only packed a day’s worth of stuff, but why… His head was spinning like a headache.

“Miss…What did I say earlier?”

“Didn’t I tell you to pack a day’s worth?”

What went wrong first, is it my fault for wrongly educating the young lady? As the young lady showed a dignified appearance as if there was no fault, I brushed her face with a sigh raised from her chest.

“…Is that all a day’s worth?”

I couldn’t see the dignified look of the lady who noticed that my mood was unusual, and she shrank in the meantime.

“…All you need.”

“Really? Shall I open it and check it one by one?”

A deep sigh escaped the young lady’s mouth as she pretended to pull out her gloves and put them on before entering her tough fight.

“Whew…Okay, I’ll get it sorted out again…”

The young lady trudged into the room and soon came out with a backpack the size of a school bag. She should have been before.

“So you haven’t missed anything yet?”

“Some naughty butler told me to check all my luggage, so I checked it while organizing it, so I won’t miss anything.”

“Really? Can I not check?”

“Oh, there really isn’t!”

Exercise! Screaming girl. She thought her eardrums would fall off after the Lion’s Roar, which happens once a month.

Just as I was about to go out to greet Mr. Gillian, who was about to come, the lady grabbed me by the sleeve and dragged me to the front door.

“We both forgot yesterday. I’ll have to reconsider my height.”

“Sure. I forgot this. Shall I start with you, young lady?”

“Yeah, let’s go quickly to stock up. Gillian will be waiting for you.”

I drew my hair into a ring over the head of the young lady who leaned against the door frame and closed her eyes gently. The lady’s height was about half a finger taller than she had been measured.

Soon after, the lady measured and checked my height, and there was a difference of about one finger from before. Now the difference in height between the lady and me was about one and a half fingers.

“Sooner or later you’ll be just like me.”

“I will.”

Seeing the traces of our growth engraved on the door frame, the young lady smiled, and I smiled the same way.

“How big will we both get next time?”

“I could grow like the beanstalk in a fairy tale and outgrow the lady overnight.”

“…I hope so.”

After staring at the door frame for a few seconds, they went out together. As soon as the vacation ceremony was over, Shaula and Nepheli left the dormitory without saying goodbye because they each left their rooms saying they had somewhere to go.

A middle-aged man, Mr. Gillian, sitting at a table outside the cafe near the carriage parking area in the academy and enjoying a cup of coffee, found us and jumped up to greet us with open arms.

“Ha ha ha! Miss! How are you!”

“I was having a lot of fun than I thought.”

“He seems to have grown taller than before… And gained some weight…”

“…Gillian…”

My Gillian uncle stopped his mouth at the murderous thing as if arrows were flying from the corner of the lady’s eyes. That’s why you only talk about height.

Moving his gaze to me, the man smiled and stroked my hair as if he were welcoming the young lady.

“My little butler seems to be doing well too. I thought he would lose weight because he had a hard time taking care of my lady, but he gained weight and looks out of place.”

“I was a little taller, though.”

“Sooner or later, I’m going to grow up. I was shorter than you when I was your size, heh heh.”

A man with the height of three more heads comforted me and headed for the carriage.

“Come to think of it, I heard that two men and women were living in the same room… Lady, in case Sirius did something nasty…”

“I didn’t.”

A girl who comes out resolutely. Perhaps it was because of her mood, there was regret at the end of her voice. After answering, she glanced at me for a moment and pouted.

…I’m not one to touch my master, lady…

When he arrived at the wagon, he decided that it was not necessary to carry small luggage in the luggage compartment, so he boarded the wagon with his own. Soon after, I reached out to the lady on board and helped her get up safely, and she sat right next to me.

“…Lady?”

“Why?”

“The carriage is wide, and you sit next to me…”

“You don’t like me sitting next to you?”

“…No…”

As I closed his mouth in fear of the cold eyes as if there was frost in May, it was a girl who naturally leaned on my shoulder.

“My back hurts when I sleep lying on the carriage.

“I will bear with it even if my shoulder is crushed.”

“…Don’t make a fuss.”

“Yes.”

“My lady, I’m ready! Shall we go…?”

As soon as the partition installed to allow conversation with the driver’s seat was opened, the young lady fell beside me.

Noticing a subtle air current flowing between the two of us, the old man asked the two of us, leaning between the small partitions.

“…Is it true that nothing happened to you two? Miss? Sirius?”

“”…No!””

Me and the lady had no choice but to shout at the same timing.

In the end, the uncle made me come out to the driver’s seat, saying he would teach me how to drive a carriage. Even though I had driven a car, it was my first time driving a carriage, so I focused on thinking of the uncle’s words as if I were the academy instructor who taught me how to drive when I got my driver’s license.

“Don’t strain the reins too much. If you hold it like you’re holding a knife, the horses will move stiffly as if they’re holding a knife to their throat.”

“You mean the point is to hold it as if you’re not holding it and give it strength when needed, right?”

“As expected, our little butler is smart. If you teach him one thing, he’ll quickly learn ten.”

Uncle Gillian sat on the driver’s seat, stretching. Even though I was sitting next to me riding a horse for the first time, it was not something I had done once or twice, and I was just relaxed.

It was fun to watch the horses get off the road a little bit, pull the reins in the opposite direction, and then get back on the road.

It is always fun to learn something new, and I felt thrilled when I saw the results of learning.

I was still clumsy, but as time passed and I felt a bit more relaxed, I started to ask Mr. Gillian one by one about things that had happened so far.

“Do you know what happened to the bandits who were handed over to the Rotorneve Police Department at that time? Was it Balom or Kalom? I don’t remember much, but bandits with a head like that.”

“They received a letter from the head of the Rotoneve police force, but it was strange that a bandit chief was a sword expert, so they said they were all transferred to the capital’s prison for a full-scale investigation.”

“It seems to be going back more seriously than I thought.”

“It’s not serious, but it looks like it has a little suspicious corner. Turn right here.”

“Oh, yes.”

Since we are not heading to the village of Capella, which we had stopped by before, the carriage barely felt any vibration as it traveled along the well-maintained, flat roads rather than the rugged mountain roads.

“It’s a well-maintained road, so I don’t see bandits…”

“Get everything you have and jump out of the wagon!”

“…Not quite.”

“That’s right.”

From noble mtl dot com

The second time he rode in a carriage, he became an excellent hitter with a batting average of 100% through the second raid by bandits. Why do I look like this when I ride a carriage?

As soon as I entered the forest road, I saw about 10 bandits I met. I was so irritated that I didn’t even have to talk about it to vent my anger.

“Keep it off…”

“Sa… Save me…”

“Well, I’ve adjusted my strength so I don’t die, so don’t be rude. It’s only about broken bones, but don’t make a fuss about it.”

With the stress he received from thinking about the young lady he had been with and what would happen in the future, something that had been clogged up in a corner of his chest suddenly cleared.

After brushing off the tasteless reddish-brown blood on the gloves, I examined the faces of the bandits one by one. It was because there was a face that seemed to have caught a glimpse of them while beating them down.

“Now… I was wrong…!”

“You…”

I grabbed a familiar figure by the collar and pondered where I saw it. Where did you see it… Ah.

“You’re the one who threatened us the other day and tied them up with ropes before entering the police force?”

Among the low-level cliché-like bandits I met before arriving at Capella Village, he was the one I talked to. I must have handed it over to the security guard, but how did you get out?

“I must have missed the meals at the security guard so much. You couldn’t even recognize our family coat of arms.”

“Why… I thought it was ominous…”

The sooner you urge, the sooner you regret. To feed them the security guard food they missed, they all packed into the luggage compartment and came back, and the uncle was laughing as if it was fun.

“hahahahaha, it reminds me of Will when he was young when he handled the work through question and answer dance. Are they also a teacher and a disciple?”

At those words, I couldn’t hide my expression and crumpled up. It’s too harsh to say that I’m no different from the butler, who was an idiot who used his fists when he was younger.

“…It’s no different than cursing.”

“I’ll literally tell Will.”

“Thank you for complimenting me on resembling the butler.”

I bowed my head and expressed my gratitude.

If you do that, the story will change.

Encounters with bandits and my inexperienced wagon driving skills allowed me to reach the village of Markav, where I will be staying tonight, only after the sun had gone down.

First of all, I handed over the bandits in the luggage compartment to the security guard in the village and headed for the inn.

Since it was a large town, the inns were densely lined up, probably because it had a large floating population. Each inn has its own personality and neat appearance, so I was contemplating where to stop.

“Where should I go?”

At this time, it is safest and most comfortable to ask the senior’s opinion before going. It’s just a place to stay for a day, but if bugs come out while you’re sleeping or if the service is messy, it’ll ruin your mood for the day.

“That would be nice.”

After looking around for a while, the man pointed out an inn. It looked no different from other inns, but I was convinced when I saw the larger size than other inns. With that amount, I thought, we could comfortably find a room for us to stay in.

Slowly following the uncle’s advice, I parked the wagon and opened the door to help the lady get out.

“…Idiot…”

When the young lady got off the carriage and looked at me with murderous eyes, I had to keep her mouth shut. I can’t help but feel angry that she left me alone in the carriage for a few hours.

I had no choice but to silently follow the lady as she strode into the inn. When she entered the inn, Uncle Gillian was talking at the counter.

“Do you have a room with three beds in one room, including dinner today and breakfast tomorrow for three people? Four is fine.”

“There are three rooms… You can go to Room 511. The price is 5 large silver coins and 5 small silver coins, all inclusive.”

I put my hand into Uncle Gillian’s arms, paid a reasonable price to the staff, and went up together. Instead of sharing a room for each of them like last time, she asked the old man, wondering.

“You don’t use a separate room like last time.”

“Isn’t that right for young men and women to share the same room? I don’t know if it’s three people, but I didn’t know what would happen if a man and a woman were together, so I made this decision.”

“You didn’t do that last time.”

“At that time, I was trying to keep the safety of the young lady while fooling the bandits.”

“…The young lady and I share the same room?”

“That’s why you don’t know what will happen if you share the same room in the atmosphere of a trip like this. I did it after experiencing everything, so don’t be dissatisfied.”

… It’s not that I’m dissatisfied; you were watching

I was afraid of those eyes and arrived at our room looking straight ahead. Looking at the neat room with three single beds, I thought it was enough to get 5 small silver coins for 5 large silver coins.

When the dinner the man requested came up to the room, they ate it together, went down to the wagon, wiped the bloody luggage compartment, and came back up to find everyone asleep.

Uncle Gillian had the bed closest to the door, followed by the lady, and mine was the one closest to the window.

After quietly changing into comfortable clothes from the bathroom, he laid down on my bed and tried to sleep. Driving his horse was harder than I thought, so I closed his eyes as soon as my head touched his pillow.

How well he must have fallen asleep, I felt a human presence and my body pressed against something. The identity that held me down was…

“…Lady…?”

“Shh… Gillian is going to wake up…”

Under the covers, the young lady was pressing her face in and raising her index finger over her lips.

Since it was summer, we were feeling each other’s body temperature in thin and short clothes. Since the arms and legs were exposed, each time the lady moved, the skin of the two of us rubbed a little.

“…I had nightmares in my sleep…I’m anxious, so I’m sleeping with you. Don’t worry too much about it.”

No, it seems to make you fall asleep… The thrill of the young lady’s actions made her sleepy. Please specify the time and place…

Unlike the girl who fell asleep in my arms, I stayed up all night with my eyes open. Before the uncle woke up, he went back to his bed and saw the sleeping lady, and he was able to fall asleep.

It was only two hours long, but it was as sweet as honey.

We woke up 2 hours later, ate breakfast, and set off. This time I was not driving the carriage, but I was in the carriage with the young lady.

In response to a spontaneous yawn, probably because I had only slept for two hours, the young lady who was sitting on my shoulder cautiously looked at me.

“Are you sleepy?”

“Yes, I’m a little sleepy because I didn’t sleep well last night.”

“You slept in the same bed as me yesterday. Could it be that you couldn’t sleep because of me?”

Yes, that is correct! I couldn’t say it when I saw the lady’s expression darken a little as if she was sorry to say.

“I just slept and woke up several times. Being in an unfamiliar place, I was on my nerves to protect the young lady.”

“I see. Then…Would you lend me my knee?”

A lady who taps her thighs. It was a sign that he would give me a lap pillow, but I politely declined.

“How can a butler borrow the master’s lap? Don’t worry too much about it. You can sleep at night.”

“…If the butler can’t work because he can’t sleep, it’s the owner’s responsibility. Hurry up and lie down.”

Ah, that expression. Seeing Nao’s face full of firm will every time he showed his stubbornness, he sighed in his heart. I had to compromise with the lady to avoid the lap pillow.

“It’s too much for an attendant to receive a lap pillow. Just lend me the lady’s shoulder.”

“…Are you okay with just your shoulders?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

The steel stubbornness has broken a little. The young lady noticed a little pity, but she gave her shoulder gently.

“Come on, wait. I’ll wake you up when I get there.”

“Please wake me up when we arrive at the manor. I don’t want to be an ugly butler sleeping while the lady is awake.”

“Okay, so hurry up and go to bed, fool.”

The young lady put her hand on my head and placed it on his shoulder. Intoxicated by the slight sweet scent and warm body temperature, my eyes slowly closed.

“Please… Wake me up…”

“Let’s sell our worries…”

With the lady’s last reply, I fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, the next morning after summer vacation started. A sinister laugh echoed in the quiet dormitory.

Shaula, who was holding a black sphere-shaped magic tool that could fit in her fist, was the source of the laughter.

“Uhhhhh, I finally got it from my sister… A magic tool that shows video and audio in real time and even has a recording function… I managed to get it by pouring half a year’s worth of pocket money into it, so I hope it shows a great effect. “

She gave up the snacks she ate and was filled with anticipation of whether she would be worth half a year’s worth of pocket money that she had been collecting all along. .

“As expected, those two left right after vacation. It’s rather nice.”

While looking around the room, I noticed something that caught my eye and moved my steps. The grown-up marks of the two on the frame of Europa’s door. Wanting to know what it was, I touched it with my hand and opened my mouth in admiration as if I realized it.

“Wow…They’re really fresh, the two of them…They’re showing the true nature of childhood friends.”

A rumbling sound echoed through Shaula’s stomach. Shaula, who had filled her heart’s bread, headed to her room to fill her stomach with her word that it was her world capital post-meal.

“I’m really grateful to them for giving me such a gift before leaving. Hohoho.”

It was Shaulla who was so fresh the more I thought about it that she quelled her excitement and baked her pancakes to keep her nose from bleeding.
