Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

72 – Star of Darkness (4)

“Deaconess, you are much later than usual? Did you wait on Lady Europa until this late?”

In the small security room installed at the entrance of the dormitory, today’s duty officer, Mr. Olphin, greeted me warmly, with short hair that is unique to soldiers.

It’s been a long time since all the guards on duty at the security office came home late every night after the lady’s training, and the new arrivals also heard my rumors and noticed the time I returned.

“hahahahaha…Today, the lady wouldn’t let me go, so I ran away while she was sleeping.”

Actually, you didn’t let go and followed me all the way here. The lady was hiding near the window of the room I showed her to.

It is stated in the academy’s regulations that entering an unspecified dormitory can result in punishment, so I did not come to the entrance together to avoid being caught.

“You’re having a lot of trouble. More than that, isn’t Europa bothering you too much?”

Looking at the watch through the glass of the guardhouse, it was well past midnight and approaching one o’clock. Perhaps because I was so tired, I realized that I had fallen asleep early in the lady’s room.

“If the lady hadn’t picked me up on the street, then she’d been more than enough to stay in the guesthouse. She’d have to do this to repay the favor.”

“Oh, if you say that, what will I become?”

We both burst into laughter at the unintentional Tallulah. Even though he is older than the terms of the contract, Mr. Olfang, who always respects me, often runs into late at night and thanks to his friendship, we exchange light jokes.

“It’s getting late, but I’ll go in. Mr. Olpin is having a hard time too.”

“Yes, I should. By the way, where did you leave your coat and come wearing only a vest?”

Oops, because the lady was wearing a coat, I didn’t have a tailcoat, just a vest over my shirt. I forgot to walk around so naturally.

“I forgot to leave the room in a hurry.”

“You seem to be in a hurry. Come on in.”

Mr. Olpin sends you with a kind smile. He’s friendly with the people on duty, so nothing bad happens. When you get close to them, they allow you to bring food with you when you return from the military.

In a servant dormitory that is not that high, the room I was assigned was on the second floor. It wasn’t that the single-person special room assigned to me was only on the second floor, but I couldn’t help it because I came in late.

When I returned to my room, I was greeted by my dark room and unpacked luggage. Luggage can be sorted out tomorrow night, so I first turned on the luminous crystal and opened the window to call the lady.

“My lady, I left the door open.”

The lady nodded. Now, how do you get up?… He stepped back quite a bit while looking out the window of my room, where the light was on, and then started running. Before jumping, it was a run-up to increase the leaping power.

A blue magic power that could be clearly seen in her eyes dwelled in the young lady’s feet and stamped her feet.

He flew like a cannonball on a precise trajectory toward the window, and if he didn’t receive it, he would jump over the window and hit the wall.

“Ugh…”

Her moans naturally came out at her heavy destructive power, even more than the moderate attacks the young lady wielded during sparring.

Kudangtang. In the end, she couldn’t stand it and fell backwards, making a huge noise, but she was more worried that the lady was not hurt.

“Are you… Are you… Alright?”

I received it from the chest, so the shock was so great that it was difficult to speak. The power of body slam is this much, games that capture cute monsters and fight them should modify the power of this skill…

“Yeah, thanks to you, I didn’t get hurt. Thanks for holding me back.”

The lady who was not in her arms grabbed her by the waist and hugged her. She sang her national anthem in her head as the lady’s ugly chest touched her belly.

No matter what anyone says, the lady is a bull…!

No…A cow…!

There was a slight sense of exhaustion at the first time using mana. And she couldn’t control her strength, so she almost got hurt, but Sirius held her back so she didn’t get hurt.

Sirius, who was having a hard time talking, perhaps because he was shocked by receiving me, felt a little sorry and thankful, so when I hugged him, Sirius looked away for some reason.

While she was muttering a song she had never heard before, her face was blushing, so she wanted to do something.

Tick-tock, the sound of knocking on the front door startled us both and jumped up at the same time. Did he come to check because he had fallen down with a loud noise earlier? While I was in a hurry, Sirius grabbed my hand and dragged me into the room.

“I’m sorry, but he’s hiding in the closet for now. Please stay quiet until I check.”

Let’s sit with our legs hugged by a closet where a few clothes hang, a scene that Sirius often saw in the novels he brought from the library. It reminded me of a story about a rat being heard.

“In novels, men usually hide, but I did.”

“hahahaha, I will. Please bear with me.”

Sirius smiled at my words and slowly closed the closet door. In the pitch-black darkness, I saw the light leaking through the crack in the door.

When the moon I saw in my dream earlier, the moon that looked like bloodshot eyes looked at me, my whole body froze.

I tried to look away but couldn’t, so when I was just looking at it, a wolf with black fur wrapped around me and met my eyes.

I was relieved by the same golden eyes as Sirius, and when I noticed it, I licked my face and eventually woke up.

Remembering the wolf, I hugged his overcoat. Try to smell the body odor from the clothes you were wearing before leaving the dormitory.

With a snap, the closet door opened and Sirius looked at me and said.

“I just came to check on the watchman who was walking around making a loud noise. The lady who told me to be careful because I accidentally fell.”

I couldn’t hide the coat I was holding in his hand … Feeling embarrassed, I threw it at him and came out of the closet.

“…It’s warm now, hang it up.”

Ahh…Why did you come without any sign…If you had come while I was in charge, I wouldn’t have said anything. Sirius, who received the clothes, replied simply, “Yes,” And put the coat he was trying to keep in the closet.

I went to the living room and buried my face in the sofa, doing nothing. No, I didn’t want to do anything.

I was so ashamed of myself that I almost showed that kind of side to Sirius, who approached me with deathly warmth today.

How long has it been since he buried his face in the sofa? Sirius said as he sat down on the seat next to him with his head lying down.

“Are you not feeling well? Or is the shock coming from running earlier…”

“It’s not like that, so it’s okay…”

I just fell into a sense of shame because I almost did something stupid. Even so, he raised his head because of Sirius, who was worried about him. I wonder what kind of expression he was making, when I looked through Sirius’s eyes, he was making a slightly confused face.

Knowing that this was the expression he had always made, he closed his eyes for a moment and leaned his head against Sirius’ chest. I could feel the unique smell right away. It wasn’t the smell of sweat…It was an indescribable smell that made me feel drowsy.

Since he was so still, his hand was placed over his head. He was not offended because he had already gotten used to his habit from childhood.

I turned my head slightly to see his face, and he was stroking my hair with a light smile, making me feel like I was being treated like a child.

I raised my right arm and tried to pinch his cheek, but then changed my mind and started petting it.

“Lady?”

I always call you that when I’m embarrassed. I wanted to be called by name like last time, but for some reason I thought I would lose if I said it, so I just stroked the cheek without saying anything.

“…I’m putting it on just as you said last time.”

I smiled as I felt that I was doing well as I told my skin to be better than before. His hair was also more shiny than before, and it was like black silk.

A butler who listens carefully to what I have to say. My childhood friend who comforted me whenever I cried since childhood. The one who endured the harsh training for me.

The boy I picked up while walking on a snowy street was covered so nicely. He didn’t like it because he was cool, he looked cool because he liked it.

As his fingers moved from his cheek to his lips, he remembered a lie he had told him before.

When we talked to each other about what would happen if we lost each other, laughed nonchalantly and tripped him, the answer I heard confirmed his feelings.

Sirius likes me too. And when I pressed my lips together in emotion, he closed his eyes… And I kissed him just like that…

I, too, who had kissed him, was startled and fooled around with his fingers, but … I kept thinking about the lips we had touched until I fell asleep.

“Your face is red.”

“It’s not a cold, so don’t worry.”

“…Have you ever had an insidious thought?”

“Oh no!”

…Recognized like a real ghost.

The lady who touched my face like clay for a while. His face was flushed, so he told me to go to sleep.

I don’t know what insidious thoughts he had, but I don’t think he was thinking anything out of his mouth. He fell asleep in my arms like he always did. If I had a dream this time and met that person, I wanted to ask something, but unfortunately, the morning came without a single dream.

The Sunday morning before the freshmen welcome ceremony was relaxed. Of course, just because we were relaxed didn’t mean that other people were relaxed.

Participate in a small social gathering where guests try on dresses and suits for the welcome ceremony, scramble for quick fixes, memorize a list of attendees who might be helpful to them, and check basic etiquette. It was a sensitive and busy day as usual.

Compared to that, the people gathered in the clearing right now…

“Try to move like this. Louis Tenna will be able to follow her as she has a thin body like mine.”

“Oh, it’s really easy to move around as Nefeli said.”

“Senior, please speed up a little.”

“…Yes.”

Among the Twelve Pillars, the Aries family lady from Aries Palace was teaching Ruitena, and our lady and the Kanker family lady from Geohaegung Palace were sparring with wooden swords.

The lady from the Leo family of the lion zodiac was sitting in a nearby seat and looking at the documents with Shaula, lamenting that she had only things left to be busy in the future, probably because she became the vice president of the student council this year. Was helping

Five major figures of the empire were busy doing their jobs near the vacant lot. As if he didn’t even care about the welcome ceremony tomorrow.

I thought it was fortunate that the tea party was not held, but unexpected guests came to visit me for a while.

“Ah, seniors were there. They were gathered near the dormitory, so I wanted to know what kind of people they were.”

“Senior Europa~! See you again today!”

The Young master from Sagyeon Palace’s Pios family greeted the lady politely, and the Virgo family’s daughter from the Maiden’s Palace already had a sore eardrum.

The lady who stopped the sword introduced Lars and Spica to the members of the tea party. They nodded as if something had happened at the tea party yesterday and introduced themselves. It was a situation where the people in the novel had gathered.

“Ras, Spica. I’m comfortable with honorifics, so please excuse me.”

“Yes, call me whatever you like, Shaula-senpai.”

“Please feel free to call me!!!”

“Thanks. By the way, I have a question for Lars. Would it be okay if I ask him?”

“Any question I can answer, I’ll do my best to answer it.”

Shaula often asked Lars about this and that, but in a friendly atmosphere, Regula met my eyes and approached me.

“…Is that Lars over there you were talking about a year ago?”

Even though he was a collateral, he had the emperor’s lineage and his eyes for people were excellent. The walking form and standing posture of Lars was such that a person with knowledge in martial arts would turn his head even if he passed by.

I nodded at her wordlessly and gave her a lionly smile, delighted that she had found her prey for the first time in a long time.

“Then you’ll remember the promise we made a year ago, right?”

“You have to see it first to know.”

Regula put on an ominous smile as soon as he finished his words and immediately spoke to Lars.

“Hey, did you say Lars?”

“Yes, it is. Regula-sama.”

“I want to point a sword at you. Right now.”

…People really don’t change. When I thought of myself a year ago, I burst into laughter.

A person like that is the next student council president?
