Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

77 – Trade Carefully (1)

The lady who was disturbed was sleeping in my arms, and woke up after lunch. Thanks to her, she said that she had a good night’s sleep, and as she held her in her arms and rubbed her cheek against her chest, it looked like the cat was acting cute.

We watched silently until the lady stopped, and when we came out to the living room laughing at each other’s stomach growling, Ruythena-san was putting the finishing touches on lunch preparations with a meaningful smile.

We talked about yesterday’s events while eating her lunch that she prepared for her.

“Haa…I was really scared yesterday. We didn’t even make eye contact, but my hamstrings were tingling, so I couldn’t move a single step, and I didn’t even think about taking out the spear.”

Ms. Louis Thena, who swept the area around her thighs over her skirt with her folding spear on, continued her words.

“The butler is really amazing. As soon as those monsters broke through the window and came in, they ran to the lady.”

“As a servant of the family, it is a natural thing to do. Louis Tena-san should train her to develop her courage a little more.”

“Uh…How?”

“If I become more to be feared by Luitena-san than by others, there will be no more trepidation.”

Let me tell you with her warm smile, Mr. Rui Tena shivering. I was joking, but if you do that, then I’m a bad guy…

After such a friendly lunch, Shaula came to visit.

“Miss Europa, I need to talk to Sirius for a moment. Would it be all right if I borrowed it?”

“Yes. It’s okay. It won’t be long.”

“Don’t worry, it’s coming soon.”

Shaulla, who had already built up enough of a crush on the lady, easily dragged me out of her dormitory and stopped her steps in a secluded place, as if she were eating a cookie from her plate.

“About the whereabouts of the younger brother of the Virgo family servant you asked for. I did find it, but…”

Anxiety could be seen in the thinly opened eyes. Even as she checked who was around, she hesitated to speak.

“…Has something bad happened? It’s like he’s already passed away…”

Somehow, I thought that Shear’s brother might have already died.

So there was no possibility that she used her younger brother as an excuse until the end, and then notified her that her younger brother had died because it was no longer needed.

Fortunately, as if my thoughts had gone astray, she shook her head and handed me a roll of finely rolled paper, and I sighed in relief.

“The traitor to humanity, he belongs to the Dark Star.

As she said, I unfolded the handed paper and the drawn picture was a picture of a boy who looked a little younger than us handing a newspaper to an ordinary middle-aged man walking down the street and seeing it once every 10 minutes, as accurately and neatly as a photograph.

“The boy drawn there is the Swallow that Sirius was looking for. And the man handed over the newspaper is a high-ranking executive in the Dark Star. His face and body are hidden by artifacts or magic, so we don’t know his real face. .”

“But how do you know that you are a high-level executive?”

“Did I just tell you? We’re keeping an eye on it. Although their true form may be different, their changing form periodically assumes a set form and acts according to a schedule. Who knew that such a person would be related to the person you are looking for? Would you?”

Different from the way he usually laughs and chats with his eyes open, the way he examines the painting with me with wary eyes looks quite serious.

“In the case of Shaloh, he was so famous that you would know him by name in the slums, but after asking like that, it’s hard to find. I guess…”

“Slums have slum rules.”

A slum is a place where those who fall to the bottom and live a miserable life live to survive, grinding their teeth far and wide. If there is something to be wary of those who do illegal things going up.

“Yes. They were extremely reluctant to approach outsiders. They said they would find out if I gave them more money, but when I paid the amount, they would lie down saying they didn’t know, and there were reports that they pointed a knife at me saying it was a face I hadn’t seen before.”

She sighs as she points to what is written on her paper. Her investigators aren’t too weak, she murmurs, but she’s been taught not to stir up big incidents, so sometimes she has a hard time investigating things.

She did, but it was surprising that she found it sooner than expected. She brought the necessary information and was helpful to Lars and her party every time. She felt her true self again and expressed her gratitude.

“Thank you, Shaula. Thanks to you, I was able to find it quickly.”

“But what are you trying to do by finding that person? Are you thinking of trying to ingratiate yourself with the Maid of the Virgo family?”

“Not at all. The tongue.”

My expression naturally crumpled because I said unnecessary things. It seems that way in the eyes of others.

She’s anyway She’s with this She’s found him, she just needs to know how to remove the imprint… Does she even know this? She asked.

“If you want to remove the imprint… It’s easy to remove it if you know exactly how it was engraved and how long it’s been since. However, only the clergy can do it.”

“Ah, if that’s the case, don’t worry. Someone knows.”

She pulled out a folded note from her inside pocket and opened it. When I showed her the coupon to meet the saint that she had received the other day, she shouted with her eyes wide open.

“No?! How does Sirius have it!? It’s an item that doesn’t come out on a regular exchange, and it’s something you can’t buy even if you pour dozens of gold coins in a black market auction!”

…It’s an item of greater value than I thought. It was unnerving to see her staring at the coupon with her eyes twinkling, so I folded it up and put it back in my inside pocket.

“I have a personal situation. Anyway, I can ask the priest, right?”

“If it’s a saintess, there won’t be any side effects even if she solves the problem in a snap, right?”

This will solve everything. It was dealt with quickly, and information about the Dark Star could be obtained from Surlo, so he smiled with joy at the situation of killing two birds with one stone.

“Well, I think I’ve done my job with this. So about the value of this information…”

There was one thing I forgot. The other day she had said she wanted something other than money, so when she swallowed her dry saliva nervously, she took a candy-sized pellet from her pocket.

“It’s nothing special. Just eat this and act normally.”

…I was anxious. I couldn’t forget that it was her family that was originally famous not only for information, but also for poison, but since she was looking at the grain, it was so black that I thought it was poison, and it was the size of a grape grain.

“Poison…Isn’t it?”

“It’s okay because it’s a poison that’s harmless to the body. It’s a drug I’ve tested and made, but you can’t test it on people… I need a sample.”

After all, it’s poison…! Her trembling hand grasped the pellet she was holding.

“It’s okay. If there’s any problem, don’t worry, I’ll decipher it right away.”

That bothers me more…! Still, a deal is a deal. Since I was given something, I had no choice but to listen to what she wanted.

…Considering that I will use it frequently in the future, I closed my eyes once and swallowed the grains for the sake of trust.

Unexpectedly, along with the sweet taste, she felt a shattering pain near her head.

“Ouch!”

About 10 minutes after Shaula took Sirius out, she heard a familiar scream from somewhere, but she thought she heard it wrong and finished reading the book.

Reading was a hobby that started while reading books with Sirius. During the past year she had had a good time sitting on the sofa or bed with him, savoring the sentences read to her.

Even though she has been away since then, she has not lost her habit of reading. She just thought that all the books she was reading were sweet romance novels.

At the tea party, she read 「Tulip and the Wolf」, Which Shaulla had recently recommended to her, saying she had enjoyed reading it. .

The process of the two confirming their love for each other made my heart tickle as it was heartbreaking, but in the end, I ended up crying at the tragic end.

Wouldn’t it have been more fun if Sirius sat next to me and read the lines of the male protagonist, and I read the lines of the female protagonist? Let’s read it together.

Sorry for a while, the door opened weakly, as if Sirius had arrived, and entered with slow steps.

…And something was hanging over his head.

It had pointed, triangular fluffy-looking puppy ears.

“…Don’t stare…”

I had to stare blankly at him with his mouth open as he blushed with an expression of shame as he covered the ears on his head with both hands.

Why?

Suddenly?

Why?

A butler who went out with a friend got dog ears?

When I was reading a book in my head, it suddenly turned around and it became complicated as if I couldn’t understand it. I tried to say something, but it didn’t come out hastily.

“Deacon…What are those ears?”

When Louie Tena spoke for me, Sirius swept her hand away to cover his face. The ears on his head moved back and forth like those of a real puppy.

“Shaula said it was an experiment and gave me something like candy, so I ate it… My ears grew… He said it would stay like this for a day.”

I almost laughed out loud because the drooping ears along with the crawling voice were so cute. More than that, what did Shaula make, such… Cute things?

I got up and walked over to him. I tried to say something, but it didn’t reach my ears. His gaze was fixed on that ear and did not fall.

Carefully…Very carefully, I stroked his hair and touched his ear lightly.

“…This is what you look like for a day?”

Even if you turn the ear you held in a different direction or pull it, it won’t fall off, so I was deeply impressed that it looked like a real ear. As I grabbed his ear and moved, Sirius couldn’t stand it and shook his head wildly as he fell to me.

“Yes…Anyway, you have to stay like this for 24 hours a day. The experiment was said to be a great success, but he liked it…”

Sirius scratched at his ear to see if it was itchy, but pulled him to see if he hadn’t adjusted yet.

I heard that the beastmen who live in small numbers in Mars Kingdom look like that. He hid that he couldn’t stop laughing in his subtly cute appearance.

After shaking my head several times, I was able to move my expression at will. But, let’s look at Sirius again.

“Huh.”

I almost drool in a daze. Seriously, it was Sirius who showed a different side of himself that he didn’t normally see. He dragged him over to the couch, grabbed his face, and took a closer look.

Should we say black dog ears, or wolf ears, on top of neatly tied hair?

Even though he has ears of different races, even the original ears are attached to him.

“Do you hear well with this ear?”

“I can hear well in both ears without any problems. I thought it was an ornament, but I can hear it just like normal ears… And I can feel it… Stop touching it…”

“But…”

“No.”

Even though he said it with a determined expression, the ears on top of his head stood up. Sirius, seeing that his whole body trembled trying to hold back the laughter that leaked out, Sirius sighed and said,

“…You can just laugh if you want to. Just don’t touch it.”

I lowered my head as if I had given up, and the ears I showed finally burst into laughter.

“Pu-Hup…That…Can’t I touch…Occasionally?”

“How would you feel if I touched your ear?”

…If Sirius touched my ear…

“I don’t like… I don’t think…”

His hair was stroked whenever he had a chance, and he held his waist while being held in his arms, but he had never touched his ears. Sirius, who was carefully examining my face, reached out to his ear, and his heart started beating as if he had put it in his ear.

As I brushed my cheek and brushed the side of his hair, I wonder if the ears I saw from him turned red.

“Ah♡”

I had to cover my mouth with my hand because I unknowingly shouted.
