Chapter 250


CHAPTER 250 – IT’S NOT LIKE ANYBODY IS ALRIGHT



「Attack!」


While three soldiers were about to attack, I silently unsheathed Eleanor .


I chopped one’s head, slashed one diagonally, and severed one from his waist .


I instantly killed the three soldiers .


After that, I faced the man who looks like their captain and stared at him .


I waited for a moment . I waited for the goal I had for coming here .


「Please wait, you are Marquis Yuuki right? We areーー」


「I know」


Their side called my name knowing my identity and I answered .


The condition is fulfilled with this, so I chopped the man from top to bottom .


Half of his body immediately collapsed and half stood for a while, then his eye turned then collapsed .


Soon after, the soldiers ran away .


『Otou-san, is it okay not going after them?』


「It’s alright . After all, my goal is reached with this」


『Is that so?』


『Umu . A person who is favored by Selene intervened while knowing the situation . We need those soldiers who have escaped will become the messenger to spread that fact』


『That’s sounds difficult〜』


『Hikari is fine just like that . You only need to think how to grow as a Demon Sword first . Other things would just follow up later on』


『Un!』


『By the way, the last attack . The reason why he was chopped from top to bottomーー』


Hikari who replied innocently and Eleanor who is teaching her daughter the way of the Demon Sword .


They’re different from an ordinary mother and daughter, but that’s the good thing about it .



I let Duke Melina’s servants out of the cages .


There were some of them who looked ill, so I cured them using my white magic ball .


After that, as the person who saved them, almost all of them started to look at me in a favorable light .


「We thank you」


After a while, the oldest person among the servants, a man with dignity said that to me .


People who have lived for a certain extent would have their behavior in their daily lives fixed .


Those from royal families would still look like someone from the royal family even if they wore a commoner’s clothes .


This man, I could tell easily that he has the demeanor of a “butler” with one look .


「We have been saved all thanks to you」


「Don’t mind it . I only did what I was asked to do」


Just like the soldiers from earlier, I need these people to spread that fact as well, so I said that .


「……Yes」


He was really a butler, he immediately understood what I wanted to say but didn’t say out loud . He had that kind of face .


I handed the man a bag full of silver coins .


Paper notes are only used in Mercouri, so money would be heavy .


「This is?」


「For your travel expenses . Use that to return to your master」


「……」


「What’s the matter?」


I asked the man who made a difficult face .


No, it was not only that man . Looking closely, even the other servants, most of them had a complicated face .


「Is it alright for us to return to the Duke His Excellency」


「You understand why I came to intervene like this right?」


「Yes」


The man answered promptly . Seeing him answer instantly, I don’t think that he doesn’t understand the situation wrongly .


Then why?


「The Duke His Excellency is one who is defeated, is there a future waiting for us if we follow the Duke?」


「……」


『Kukuku』


Eleanor laughed . Her tone sounded like she found it so funny .


「Marquis Yuuki, Your Highness, can you not save us?」


When the butler said that, everyone looked at me at once .


In other words, is it that?


They want to switch over from Melina to me huh?



I used my Warp Feather to return to my mansion .


I appeared in the living room and encountered Miu .


「W-Welcome back, Master」


「I’m back, Miu……what’s the matter?」


Miu who was staring at me timidly looked around me .


She acts as if she was searching for something .


「Master……are you by yourself?」


Looking up to me, Miu……she timidly asked while she checked my expression .


「Yeah, I’m by myself」


「Uhm, uhh……」


Miu was unusually fidgeting and seemed like she wanted to ask more, but .


She also looks like she wants to ask but could not say it out loud . Seeing that Miu, I said,


「This mansion’s maid is Miu alone」


「ーーYes!」


When I told her what she wanted to know the most, she smiled just like a flower had bloomed .


Before I went to rescue, I returned to the mansion once to take Hikari with me . At that time, I told Miu what I was going to do .


And because of that, she was probably curious if I was going to bring in a new maid .


「Miu」


「Yes」


「I want to MofuMofu」


「Understood . I’ll come immediately」


Miu said and left the living room . I was talking to a Miu puppet and it looks like the original would take her place for the sake of MofuMofu .


I sat on the sofa and waited for Miu .


『Ne〜, Otou-san』


「n?」


『Why didn’t you bring those people?』


Hikari asked a natural question .


That’s right, I didn’t bring anyone back .


I only gave them money for traveling expenses and returned .


The reason why I didn’t take anyone backーーthe reason why I didn’t made them my servant .


It’s because I didn’t have a need for anyone who wants to betray their master during troubled times .


They looked strangely expectant because I cured the ill girl, but I am not that kind of person .


Ahh, well, this is more simple .


「It’s because there wasn’t a good woman among them」


『I see!』


Hikari was convinced .


That’s right . There wasn’t any good woman among them .


Among those people who would betray their master, there was no way that there would be a good woman .


『Kukuku, that’s really like you』


「Is it bad?」


『Nope?』


Eleanor said playfully .


『That is what you are』


She said sounding really playful .
