69 – Star of Darkness (1)

A tea party was naturally held in Europa’s room. Snacks such as bread, cookies, and cakes mercilessly entered Aclus’ mouth, and tea cups filled with black tea were constantly emptied, creating a lively place.

On the other hand, Sirius was struggling alone, going back and forth between the table and the kitchen, while Europa’s body, which had been exhausted until now, had returned to life.

Why is he fighting alone against the candidates for the Pillar? It was because Ruitena had come down to see Angelo off.

“Little Butler, it’s going to be hard on her own…Especially, the speed at which the Lady of Geohaegung eats snacks is indescribably fast…”

“I’ve heard of it from Sirius before. How funny it was to see him sigh as he went in endlessly like dropping bread into a small abyss.”

Even though they didn’t hold hands, their eyes didn’t fall apart.

“…Then let’s go. It’s a bit lonely to go alone after the four of us came. hahahaha.”

Looking at each other with vague eyes as if they would never see each other if they left now, Angelo reluctantly climbed into her carriage and greeted her.

“Please be careful when you go. I will send you letters often.”

“Can’t you send it more often than often?”

She opened her eyes wide at her sly answer, but soon showed a faint smile.

“Of course it is. Even if it’s impossible every day, whenever I think of it, I’ll write down what I want to say and send it to you.”

“I’m already looking forward to it. I look forward to hearing from the academy.”

As she pulled the reins with the corners of her mouth caught in her ears, she roared a cheerful cry as if two horses were blessing the two of them, and then pulled the carriage with a rhythmic clatter of hooves.

She waved her hand at the slowly moving away carriage, and Louis Tena stood still until the figure of her carriage disappeared.

A gruesome sight. Sirius, staggering wearily in the corner of her kitchen, caught her eye.

The busy little butler of Geumwoo Palace, Sirius and the small-bodied daughter of Geohaegung, Aclus’ endless confrontation were won by Aclus.

“… You know?”

When she spoke out in a cracking voice from her exhaustion, her Louis Thena expression darkened like that of a sinner, but the corners of her mouth didn’t come down.

Still immersed in her conversation with her angelo, she attended a tumultuous tea party where the content of her letter to him had already been decided.

With his soul leaking out in pure white, he sat down for a while on a simple chair in the kitchen and stared blankly at the tea party in full swing.

The last time he read a novel, there were a total of eight heroines. I met six of them, and five of them are talking in front of me.

The lives that could not be imagined in the novel, changed after meeting himself and Europe.

Unlike the bloody situation where they fought over Lass whenever they met each other’s eyes, he gave a light laugh in a friendly atmosphere.

Her brief break was interrupted when Louis Thena came to her kitchen with a large plate and opened her snack drawer, much to her surprise.

“J… Butler.”

If she finds him as if she’s always doing her own thing neatly, it’s usually not the case. Sirius stood up and looked at the locker.

“…Does a bread-eating ghost live inside your stomach…”

Before entering the academy, I listened to Europa’s words and went to the bakery. Despite the fact that it was filled to the brim, there were only three plates left by Aklus standards.

With a dejected smile, he hurriedly got up in the same emergency situation as last time. He was the same as last time, so it was the same thing to deal with.

“Please give me more time. I’ll buy more like last time.”

Sirius stormed out of the room with a grim look as if he were going to the battlefield. And Nefeli, who was staring at the scene, smiled mischievously at Europa.

“So, did you two reconcile?”

The tea party, which had been buzzing with her words, suddenly became quiet, and everyone’s eyes turned to Europa.

Even after putting down Aklus, who was trying to put her treats in her mouth, I looked at her face, but I couldn’t find a place to go with her eyes.

“What…What are you talking about?”

“What are you talking about? The two of you haven’t had a proper conversation since last summer vacation. Every time you keep your distance, you just laugh awkwardly.”

“That’s right. Really, the two of you were restless all semester wondering what had happened. I lost a lot of weight because of it.”

“…What does that have to do with killing?”

Neferi As Shaula in the seat next to her showed her slimmer cheeks and complained about her, she moved on to her with a stern gaze. Before her summer vacation, she looked plump because she was not in good health, but she and Europa looked more bony than she had when they first met.

“It’s… Related! I couldn’t sleep properly and couldn’t eat properly because I was worried about the two of them!”

The magic tools I had installed so far were useless, and it was difficult to fill my heart with food in silence, as if I was living in the Cold War. In an atmosphere where it was difficult for her to openly say that, she had no choice but to lose weight because she was suffering alone.

“Europe and Sirius are both close friends of mine, so how could I not be worried. We were both worried that there might be a crack in our relationship.”

She quietly put down her teacup and nodded her head as if everyone agreed with Regula’s words as she looked at Europa with serious eyes.

Europe alone was boiling in their seriousness. He said that he and Sirius didn’t fight, they just stayed apart because they were shy and couldn’t see each other’s faces. How could this have happened?

Not knowing what to say first, she covered the table and let out a deep sigh.

Somehow, I thought I had the feeling that I was clearing the dishes faster than last time, but it turned out to be true.

Her tongue stuck out at her absorption skills, which had grown more than before. Didn’t she give her treats from the Kan Ker family? Come to think of it, if it was the Kan Ker family, she deserved it.

I came out of the dormitory and looked around the canteen just in case. The war was still going on today. How much sales will there be?

A maid wearing round horn-rimmed glasses with her dark brown hair neatly braided into two pigtails. She had an average-looking face and the average height of a woman like me.

Since the faces of the servants are so familiar, I have developed a habit of looking at the badge on the chest first when I see a servant whom I am not seeing for the first time.

I quickly glanced at the badge and passed by, then looked at it again in surprise.

A beautiful pink female face that symbolizes the Virgo family.

It was Shear, a spy dispatched from the Dark Star who would later stab Spica of the Virgo family.

“You’d better not use the canteen. Every time around this time, it’s difficult to use it at a level close to war, so it’s better to buy it from outside and go in.”

Who would have known that, as an experienced person of those who worship her pillar, he would help her wandering and open her face like this. Life is something you never know.

She, who had been absent-minded, slightly withered at my words. She put her glasses on straight and looked at me with a slightly wary look, she said.

“Who… Are you?”

“Ah, excuse me. I’m late in introducing myself. I’m Sirius, the butler of the Taurus family. Thank you very much. Maid of the Virgo family.”

I bowed her head as I gave her the polite greeting I always did when introducing myself, and her body, which had been cowering as if her guard had been relaxed, slowly spread. This introduction alone was enough to get me into it.

“My name is Shear, the Lady’s Maid of the Virgo family. Please take good care of me. Sirius. I wonder if our lady has troubled the Taurus family?”

“hahahaha, the lady said she was a very cheerful person.”

Not at all. I added an additional word.

“And I’m not a grandiose enough to stick with you.”

“Then may I call you Mr. Sirius?”

“Do whatever you feel comfortable with. Others call it that, so it doesn’t matter.”

“Huh, then I’ll feel free to call you Mr. Sirius. Please feel free to call me too.”

“Yes, Mr. Shear.”

She smiled slightly, and her movements, which had been stiff, became natural as if she had no vigilance left. She didn’t have a bad start.

“It’s no joke more than that. Is it like that every time?”

“As I said before, I go crazy every semester. It’s close to the dormitory, and the snacks sold there are delicious. My lady likes the chocolate cake sold there the most, too.”

“Hmm…I’ve heard that there is a store, but I didn’t expect it to be that bad. I really need to go in and buy it from outside as Mr. Sirius said.

Shear puts her hand on her temple and shakes her head as if she’s in trouble. She was thrilled to see her doing her best in the role of Spica’s maid so that she, belonging to her dark star, would not be discovered, but did not show it.

“Then let’s go together. I was going to go to the place I always go, so I’ll guide you.”

“Oh, thank you very much. It was my first time in the capital city, so I was taken aback, but I’m really glad.”

She accompanied her out of her academy and into her bakery. Even as he guided her on her way, she pondered what to do with her.

Shall we threaten her by guiding her to her uninhabited back alley, following her as she moves her steps? Or should I go into her abandoned house in her eyes and make her go missing?

Anyway, I was a little concerned about hurting people. Because they know why they end up in the Dark Star.

There were also those who entered the cracks of digging into the poor life of the lower class, bottomless lower class life, and irresistible conditions, and became a dark star with no other option.

How did Shear become the Dark Star? She had to dig into that. While she pondered in her head for a long time, she arrived at her destination.

She was always using the Milky Way Bakery. Since Nefeli’s introduction, she has been frequented by the young lady.

“If Spica likes something sweet, this bakery will be fine.”

“If it’s sweet, you’ll like it regardless of the circumstances. Although Lars-nim looks a little tired…”

I remembered his monologue about the hardships he had every time he brought the Spica family snacks that boasted unimaginable sweetness. I don’t know how sweet the products sold here are compared to those snacks, but he didn’t get a headache after eating them, so he’d eat them just fine.

I went into the bakery and picked up the bread as far as I could and put it on the plate. Thinking of Aklus, he thought that he should have brought her here, but he had to think of a means to reveal her true feelings.

“…Sirius-san…?”

“Why is that?”

“Do you mind if I buy that much?”

“I’m rather worried that it might not be enough.”

Her eyes widened and she looked surprised, but she didn’t care. If you don’t buy it like this, she will disappear mercilessly into the mouth of Aklus.

While I was putting the bread on for a while, the boss of the big bakery I always see came to my side. His shoulders looked like there were two thin women, and he was 190 cm tall. Shear’s mouth dropped open at the size of the boss, who had to look up every time he saw him.

“Sirius, I always tell you, didn’t you tell me to call the staff when you come?”

I said while looking at the boss who was talking comfortably because his face was quite open.

“You did.”

“But are you always building towers like this?”

“I’m afraid the staff will be uncomfortable.”

“I’m more uncomfortable!”

Whale Whale Yelled and called a nearby employee to take the plate of bread. She seemed to be able to set a new bread stacking record, but it was disappointing. Looking at Shear, who was standing blankly next to her, she started talking.

“It happens every time, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“…It’s always there, so call the staff.”

The boss takes a deep sigh. Next time I really need to accompany the staff. While the boss went to the counter to pay for the bread I had chosen, a secret from Shear came to mind.

“Mr. Shear.”

“Yes? Do you have anything else to say?”

“Doesn’t Shear have a younger brother?”

At those words, the hand that was trying to pick out the bread hesitated and stopped, looking at me with bewildered eyes.

“Uh…How…My brother…”

I smiled slightly at the pupils shaking wildly with a trembling voice.

I finally remembered her weakness and the reason she joined the Dark Star.

“You can know everything.”

I put my index finger up on my lips and gave it a light wink, then looked around and whispered like a mosquito crawling.

“Ho…Are you… From the Dark Star…?”

…I didn’t expect to talk about it all already.
