Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

70 – Dark Star (2)

“Let’s go out and talk.”

The place was inappropriate for a story as sensitive as a dark star. Who would have known that I would bring it to the point right away!

After paying for the bread the staff had brought, I went outside and sat down on a bench in a nearby park.

Shear, who was restlessly looking at me without saying anything about his younger brother, opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, and I was at a loss as to what to say first.

It is natural for those who crawl on the bottom to have strange stories, just as time passes in the world.

Those who stumble upon the wall of reality and wander, embracing the story, whether by accident or unwillingly. There is a hand outstretched to such people.

They were the dark stars, the hands full of malice towards mankind hidden in kindness.

I feel as if I have been saved by the hands that kindly approached me from the bottom of my life, and I will always listen to and act on their orders disguised as requests in order not to forget their grace.

And when they come to their senses, they find themselves drowning up to their necks in the swamp, and either give up and lament the rest of their lives, or go deep into the swamp and completely side with them.

Which side is Shear, the dark star in front of me?

Are only the ankles still locked? Or is it already locked up to the neck?

Now was the time to confirm that.

“First of all, regarding the Dark Star, I do not belong to that group.”

The expression darkened at once. Her dark star was, so to speak, close to her terrorist group, so even if she dragged her to her police station right now, she would be arrested without a sound.

“But my younger brother told me about Mr. Shear. There is a maid in the Virgo family, and he said she was his older sister…”

“Brother! How are you!? Where did you see him?”

“…I was begging on my way past from the capital. The last time I passed by, I wasn’t in the same place, so I haven’t seen him since.”

“I can’t…”

“But why did the dark star come up in your brother’s comment?”

“…That”

After she hesitated for a long time, she finally opened her mouth.

She and her younger brother lived in Tenebris, the only dark slum in the capital, with her mother, who was unable to cope with her chronic illness.

They have been working hard to cover the cost of her medicine, but in the end, her mother, who was unable to open her eyes due to her chronic disease, and those who reached out to her and her brother, who fell into a swamp of frustration, were the dark stars.

He will get her a good job, but on the condition that she have to stay away from her younger brother, she accepts with tears in her eyes and becomes a maid for the Birgo family and becomes her spy.

During her double life, working as a maid during the day and writing down details about her family at night, she caught the attention of Spica and was promoted to the rank of ladies’ maid.

With her constant reports, she asked how her brother was doing, but she was just upset with the news that she was doing well. She finally found her clues, but…

When she heard that she was begging on the street, she shed tears.

“heheheh… I always asked by letter, but to hear you were doing such a thing…Really…Really, what should I do?”

Street begging is a joke, but I had no idea what they were talking about.

She didn’t know what her brother had done, she just died, and she shed tears of blood and remembered her words about how she cursed the world and betrayed Spica.

The present is the exact opposite of my childhood, similar to Christine, the maid of our family. I frowned at their actions that took away hope and blinded those who lived without losing hope at the bottom.

“Have you ever carved a seal?”

The way to tell who belongs to the Dark Star is simple. In order to betray one’s own zodiac sign and be loyal to the demons, a black star-shaped imprint is engraved on one part of the body with magical power, and it can be recognized immediately by looking for that.

“No, I haven’t engraved it yet. It’s to enter the Birgo family and not get noticed…”

“Then your younger brother might have an engraving on it.”

“That…That…”

“I’ll find a way to unlock the imprint with my younger brother. In the meantime, please be quiet as if nothing happened.”

She stares blankly with her eyes wide open. It looked like he didn’t know I could help him this much.

“Why… Are you trying to help me like that?”

If she had stepped her foot deep into her dark star, she would have grabbed her by the neck and pulled her up from the swamp, but there was still time.

“One of the maids in my family has lived a life similar to yours. He reminded me of him, so I wanted to help.”

Of course, it’s true that I remembered it, but that’s not a reason to help.

All I want from the wandering star in front of me is to turn the blade of treachery toward Spica in a different direction.

The main character in the novel, Lars, was caught up in various incidents and his life was in danger.

With the help of the heroines, I was able to escape the crisis and solve it…But it is unknown whether they will be by his side because of what I have done.

There is still time until the middle of the second semester, when Shear’s betrayal takes place when the third heroine, Nefeli, joins.

I have to take responsibility for what I did.

So I kept silent with her about this matter, and when I hurriedly returned to my room at an extremely delayed time, Mr. Louis Thena greeted me.

“Deacon…Why are you coming now…You’ve been waiting so long…

He was crying because he couldn’t wait to see it.

You must be happy. You made me suffer so much.

After barely finishing the tea party, Shaula, whom I met outside the dormitory, asked in a serious voice to use the information power of the Scorpio family to find Shear’s younger brother.

“So, what information do you need?”

Her voice was mixed with curiosity as this was the first time she had asked her.

“I’m trying to find the younger brother of Mr. Shear, the lady’s maid of the Virgo family.”

“Hmm…Isn’t the Virgo family the family you met during the day? Looking for the younger brother of that family’s servant…”

When a meaningful smile appeared under a streetlight, I felt particularly eerie. The stinger had come close to my neck, and I felt like I could get stung if I moved even a little.

“…I was on my way to buy bread for a while, but I noticed him and he accompanied me to the bakery and back. While talking for a while, he said he wanted to find his missing brother…So I told Shaula-sama. .”

“Okay. It could be. So what’s his name and what are the recognizable features?”

“He said his name was Swallo. He said he had dark brown hair like Shear and was younger than us. He also had green eyes. He said he didn’t know about other characteristics because they had been apart for a long time.”

“The features are so common that if you get lost in them and walk around the capital for an hour, you can see dozens of them, but the names are a bit peculiar. I get it.”

Shaulla’s smile, which nodded her head willingly, was still uneasy as if it had been stuffed. Still, she expressed her gratitude that she had been accepted.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Shaula.”

“It’s okay. I’ll use it often in the future.”

“Ha ha ha…”

Are you saying I’m using Shaula’s intelligence? I just laughed awkwardly at the words I didn’t know.

“So the price is…”

“Ah, if it’s the price. It’s a way of valuing information when it comes in. It depends on the content of the information and the labor cost used for the investigation. Of course, there is a down payment, but I won’t accept it from Sirius this time. “

“Still, how much do you expect?”

She clutched her chin and pondered, shaking her head.

“It’s such a trivial matter that I wouldn’t expect it. Usually, there are many requests to find out about the roots of bastards of unknown lineage or to investigate famous families, but I’ve never heard of a commoner survey.”

“Sorry. I hope the money I prepared is not enough.”

“And I also want to get something other than money from you. Ho ho.”

I broke into a cold sweat at those words. What are you laughing at that you want to receive? After all, Shaula was Shaula, even if her personality changed a bit.

When the poison hidden behind that smile was revealed, I couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.

“What do you want…?”

“I’ll go and talk about that when the information comes in. Now I’ll go in to send a letter to the family.”

Humming Humming Shaulla entered the dormitory with light steps, even blowing her nose. After thinking for a while about what she wanted, she gave up and went into her room to say good night to her lady.

“What conversation did Shaula get so excited about?”

She was in front of the door, she was wearing a pink negligee and a dark gray cardigan, and a young lady with her arms crossed shot at her with a sullen look. Now that I’m a little taller, the lady’s gaze slightly rises, and she’s there, so I almost laugh.

How much more excited she was than that, the lady next door would have heard.

“I asked for a request for information that needed research, and after that, they were so excited.”

“Hmm…What did you ask?”

“I want to find the Virgo family maid I met today because it’s been a long time since I’ve been separated from my sister… Ayaya…”

The young lady’s darting hand pinched my cheek. Her grip was so strong that I thought her cheeks were being ripped off.

“So she was late talking to the maid?”

“Nehye…”

She couldn’t stop her pronunciation from leaking out of her gaping mouth. The eyes of Mr. Louis Thena, who was listening to her conversation from behind the lady, were also unusual. She was furious when she heard the reason for her lateness.

“If you take your eyes off it, you meet and come to women like that.”

It’s unfortunate.

It was to prevent a big incident from happening in the future, but when you said that you had just met a woman, it was like seeing a jealous lover who was mistaken for a business meeting with her.

…That’s right. In this case, an apology goes faster than an excuse.

“Sorry…”

“…You just need to know.”

Even though he said that, the grip on the ball he was pulling weakened a little. Maybe if I made an excuse, my cheeks would have been ripped out.

“Anyway…Don’t go anywhere today, stay with me.”

“…If I don’t go, tomorrow the dormitory director will ask what happened…”

“Then do you want to get scolded now?”

“It’s moderately circumspect.”

“Yes, I made a good choice.”

I spent the night in the lady’s dormitory bed for the first time in a long time, shivering at the lady’s vicious alternative.

Meanwhile, the snow fairies finally arrived at the Taurus family’s estate and were able to reach the family’s mansion by asking and asking the villagers.

“Ah…I can finally see him…These humble children give thanks to Luna and Stella.”

The voice of a short woman at the front of the group cried as she prayed. How much trouble did they have to get from the capital to the manor?

My travel expenses were gradually declining, and I couldn’t adapt to the map of the south that I had come down for the first time, so I wandered here and there, and I was also caught by bandits who appeared exceptionally often.

There was a person who was filled with joy at the thought of finally seeing him after taking a week to arrive at a distance that would have taken him four days to walk.

“Hello. I’m William, the butler of the Taurus family. What are you doing at our mansion?”

William, who was observing suspicious movements outside the window of his office, came down and asked them. Their slightly wary tone made them feel bad, but a short woman took a step forward and answered.

“We’ve come to see Sirius. Could he please let us see him?”

“…Sirius is not in the mansion.”

William, who spoke firmly, felt a sense of déjà vu. He was right about this time last year, since there was one person looking for Sirius.

“God Stella said he was here, so he came all the way from the capital. So, did God Stella lie to us?”

“Even if Stella-sama says it, we can’t say that there is someone who doesn’t exist. And since you guys are so completely hidden, can you tell me easily? Fairies with long white ears?”

William’s monocle wasn’t just to aid his eyesight. Because he was a magic tool that showed the truth hidden by magic, he was able to identify that he was a snow fairy.

As the short woman turned around and ran into them, who were quite embarrassed with a solemn look, she took out weapons one by one from her robe.

From the daggers pulled from the thighs, the long swords and long curved scimitars gleamed in the sunlight.

“We can’t stand it any longer. Whether Stella lied to us, or you, we will find out ourselves.”

Those who were in combat readiness rushed at William after she finished speaking. Standing in front of them trying to show off the skills he’s been honing for hundreds of years, William sighs.

“…My heart is racing at the thought of moving in earnest after a long time.”

The fairies were laughing at the unusual movements.
