Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

90 – Finding People (5)

Parsus, who was wearing my face, slowly returned to his original form.

“How long are you going to hold that hideous neck. Put it down near that corpse.”

The young lady closed his eyes and saw Parsus’ hideous head, with only black eyes showing, frowning and retrieved the longsword he was holding. I said, placing his head on top of the body.

“…What brought you here, young lady? What about class?”

The lady who suddenly appeared and protected me. Why did he come here with Lars, Spica, and Luitena? I had to carefully open my mouth while paying attention to the atmosphere of the lady who was examining the condition of the retrieved sword.

“Class ended early today. And that’s why I came all the way here.”

He glanced over to see if the teeth of the sword had come out, then glanced at me as he set it in the sheath.

“I heard that a butler went out of the academy alone with a maid from another family.”

“That’s…”

It was time to explain the situation. With a crackling sound, Dros, the rice cake stick that guided Shear and me, hurriedly ran out carrying someone on his back.

The person on his back was Surlo, a young boy with the same short black-brown hair as Shear.

Following this, She’ar, covered in her tears, Spica clinging to her to calm her down, and Lars, who seemed a little tired of her, came out of her building.

My lady and Miss Ruitena ran to them without saying who came first. Seeing the state of Surro, who was leaning on Dros’ back, he gasped and couldn’t open his eyes.

What did you do to him? He lifted his shirt, standing bloodied from the imprint of a pitch-black star near his side.

Anyone can see that his condition was so serious that he had to go to church right away to receive treatment. However, he had too many eyes on the road to leave the corpses, especially those of demons, unattended.

Even if the corpse was moved inside the house as a temporary measure, there was a possibility that if there were other demons or dark stars in the house, they could escape before we reported it to the police.

As he was suffering from headaches while looking at that difficult-to-treat corpse, Lars wiped his tired face with his hand and said,

“In the house, there were about three people experimenting on Shear’s brother. It was difficult to subdue, but with the help of Spica and this man, I managed to subdue them and tied them up with ropes, so there should be no problem.”

It seems that Dros cooperated well unexpectedly. In his stead, I carried the shalor and asked Dros to bring the corpse of Parsus lying on the street into the house.

After that, I checked to see if there was a wagon from the transportation team in the vicinity. It was quite a distance from Tenebris to the capital church where the saintess resided. While looking around the street for a while, I came across a familiar face.

He said that his wife was sick at home, who drove Shear and me… He was the coachman of the Archel Transportation Team.

I was told to go home, but he didn’t listen and was looking at me with a puzzled look while holding several well-cooked grilled skewers.

“…Didn’t I tell you to go straight home?”

“That’s… Heh heh heh, I’m hungry after such a large amount of money…”

A sigh came out of my mouth at the excuse… But what if I shot that person? Rather, he was fortunate to have been nearby rather than going to his wife. He told the people following him to hurry up and get into the carriage.

Once everyone got on the six-person carriage, there was no room for me to ride. When I handed over two large silver coins to him, who was horrified that burning more than this amount would result in penalty points, he willingly opened the luggage compartment.

…Isn’t the luggage compartment too much…

But now was not the time to discuss hot or cold food.

The coachman, who crouched down to get into the luggage compartment, hurriedly closed the luggage compartment. I had to feel the vibration of the wagon moving violently in the pitch-black darkness with my whole body.

Since I was in the luggage compartment, which was dark and rattled all the time, and even had a strange smell, it reminded me of the bandit I had ridden in the luggage compartment in the past.

…

But the bandit deserved it.

#

Archelle Operation Team. Their nickname was a runaway carriage on the road.

For the sake of speed, the horse was whipped nonstop, turning randomly and if the carriage in front felt slow, it would briefly move to the opposite track, overtake it, and then return to the original route.

I didn’t feel it while inside the wagon, but seeing it in the luggage compartment, I really knew it. Every time I turned, my whole body bounced back and forth, and the sound of the wheels right next to me moved so fast and wild that it broke.

Still, as if it was not wrong to use the Archel transportation team for urgent matters, we arrived in front of the capital church in one breath from Tenebris.

Getting off the wagon, Lars ran with Surlo on his back. Standing at the forefront, I showed a piece of paper and a coupon to the paladins who saw us and tried to block the church entrance.

“There’s a saintess coupon, so open it quickly!”

“That, you don’t have to come in such a hurry! We’re embarrassed because you came so urgently…”

“I’m in a hurry right now! Do you see the person behind me? I need help, saintess.”

When they saw the bloody hair welling up to their necks, they hurriedly opened the door and escorted it to the saintess.

When I saw the coupon and the Salro held by the paladin in front of the saintess’s room, I hurriedly knocked on the door.

“Hmm… You don’t have to beat me like that… Oh, Sirius. What happened…”

The saintess, who was rubbing her eyes and yawning, her expression hardened when she saw the condition of her sallor. Asking the paladin who guided us to call the priests who can move now, we approached Surlo and looked at the condition.

“Oh my God… How did you get to this point… What happened?”

I briefly explained her situation to the saintess who asked me, who was the only one in her party.

“It seems like this happened after some kind of experimentation. Originally, I was going to ask for the removal of the imprint…But the condition is serious…”

“…Thank you for bringing the lost star to us before it sinks into the deep darkness. You two please carry this young star to the treatment room.”

Two paladins who skillfully pull out a stretcher and carry Suallo. As if a patient had entered the hospital emergency room, they moved to the treatment room following them, who moved urgently.

“You are not allowed to enter more than this. Guardians, please wait outside.”

The priest, wearing a holy robe and covering his nose and mouth with a cloth, interrupted us, explained, and entered the treatment room. Subsequently, she had to watch as the saintess and those who appeared to be high-ranking priests entered the treatment room.

Shear, who is on the verge of crying again, and Spica holding her hand. Lars stands behind the two and only looks at the entrance to the treatment room.

In front of the treatment room where there was a pathetic air current, the lady and Luitena left to give them some time to themselves and to hear what was going on with me.

After coming out of the church, a lady sat down on a bench in a small park nearby. Behind her was Louis Tena, and I had to stand facing the two of them.

“Now explain. How did it come about?”

From noble mtl dot com

A girl with her arms crossed and glaring at me. Even Mr. Ruitena in the back was crossing his arms, so it seemed like he was asking me to recite my sins in front of the two teachers from my school days.

I told the truth to the two of you. The missing younger brother who happened to meet Shear by chance, the fact that he was related to the Dark Star, and the demon, Parsus, he encountered while searching for him in Tenebris.

I brought out all the facts except what I told her about her brother first, and then her betrayal of her to be there.

“How can that be… I’m really angry, sad, and absurd, but Shear would be horrified…”

“…”

Mr. Ruythena showed an ever-changing expression of emotions as she listened to the story, but the young lady remained silent, not changing her expression or saying anything.

She just stared at my face as she spoke with fierce eyes. It’s like, ‘You don’t know what I’m mad about? I’m not going to say a word until you take it out of your mouth’… It was scary.

Alarm bells that did not ring even when he fought Parsus ran through his head. There was a moment of silence, and she finally opened her mouth as the lady twisted her legs.

“…If I had heard her story, I would have done the same as you. By the way, do you know what I’m mad about?”

…It was the first time I had actually heard such a thing, but it sent chills down my spine as if a knife had been inserted into my throat.

“…Because I didn’t tell you anything…”

She hesitated, but did not back down. I know my fault well. It was best to just admit my guilt and get my sentence commuted.

“Yes, that’s right. When you suddenly disappeared without a word, I can only think of the fear that you will never return.”

The young lady spoke quietly and she slowly got up from her seat.

“He has a lot of secrets and never tells me a word of them. When he finds out later, he makes excuses. Like an idiot.”

The girl who grumbles as she approaches. She used to be the same eye level as me, but now she had to raise her head slightly because of my taller height.

“But if I’m like this, I’m more like an idiot for worrying. If something like this happens, can’t we talk about it and think about it together?”

The lady who taps my chest lightly with her fist. Her voice was already full of anger, but her expression said that she was still less angry. I almost laughed at the slightly clumsy look.

“I can’t put her in danger. Her safety is more important than my life.”

I can still see the dirt left in the lady’s hair, and she said as she brushed it off. Then, the girl’s cheeks filled up and became full.

“…It’s petty. I’m only going to move on to that kind of talk at times like this. And today, if I wasn’t here, you’d almost die without me. That’s to the point of emptying yourself out on the street.”

It was difficult for Parsus to imitate the image of a young lady with some kind of ability, but it was not something he could not handle. Still, if she had cut him in the form of a lady at that time, she would not have been able to face the lady as easily as she does now because of the uncomfortable experience.

“That’s right. It’s all thanks to the young lady.”

“That’s why.”

A girl poking with her index finger followed by her fist. Maybe she’s been training her fingers lately, but her stomach hurt more than her fist.

“If something like this happens, let’s talk together and think about what to do, you idiot. If you leave silently like this again and come back… Then I’ll put you on a leash. Like you do.”

A young lady whose face blushes even as she speaks sternly. I thought his leash was a joke… But the atmosphere didn’t feel like a joke at all.

Mr. Ruy Tena behind me nodded her head as if it was cheap.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

In the end, I didn’t want to wear a leash, so I talked to her and moved with her wherever we went, no matter what.

The girl who smiled at that promise didn’t look like she was angry until earlier.

…But what about the dark eyes you made softly…I gave you more goosebumps than when you got angry.

We went to the police station, explained that the Demons had appeared, left the job, and returned to the church, but Salro hadn’t come out yet.

I just kept silent as I watched the three people nervously watching the door.

It was about five hours after he entered, and when the sun was setting, the operating room door finally opened and Swallow came out.

He looked a lot better than before, even though he looked a bit emaciated, and the saintess held onto her shoulder so that she wouldn’t fall down and walked out together.

Sallo, who was looking ahead with a slightly dazed look, met Shear’s eyes, and their eyes widened to the point of popping out.

“…Are you my sister? Are you really my sister? This is not a dream, is it?”

With an expression of disbelief that the person he longed to see, missed, and longed for was in front of his eyes, his steps speeded up. Tears tried to spread their way again on her face, which still had tiny tear marks.

Shear silently embraced him. A smile slowly crept across his bewildered face. The saintess, who had a sad expression on her face, came up to us and said.

“We arrived on time and successfully completed the operation. If it had been a little bit later…We could not have solved it either.”

“Thank you, Lady. Thanks to you, I was able to save his life. And… I took your time today, so here…”

She tried to hand her the coupon she gave her, but she shook her head and didn’t accept it.

“It’s okay. Please give it to me only when you meet in private. Today, I’m just doing my job as a saint.”

A smile appeared on his tired face. Like a saint of starlight, her smile was as bright as starlight, so dazzling that we all closed our eyes.

We left the church after being greeted by the saintess and other priests. The happy reunion of the two was also short-lived.

Shear stopped his steps for a moment and bowed his head to thank me.

“Sirius, thank you very much. You rescued my brother from them without any cost… I will never forget this kindness.”

“…Isn’t there someone I should tell you the truth first rather than forget my grace?”

I shifted my gaze to Spica. She shed tears at the reunion of the two, and like Shear, tears were drawn on her face.

Seeing her own master, she was at a loss, and at last cautiously brought up her story. It was a sincere apology for her past, the truth she belonged to the Dark Star and the truth she had been lying about until now.

The expressions of Spica and Lars hardened after hearing the truth. She wondered if her sense of betrayal was approaching as the two of her had firmly believed in her, but soon Spica, who shed tears again, approached her and held her hands, which were trembling with anxiety, and said.

“Shear, since I was young, you’ve been by my side… Accepting all my complaints. After a while, I realized how cruel I was…”

The way she used to treat her lightly has changed. Both I and the lady were surprised at the first sight, and remained silent with dumbfounded eyes.

“I was thinking of Shear as her family… Yo… But how can I stand hearing such a story.”

“…Lady…”

As if she knew the end of the traitor who was caught, she looked at Spica and Sallo with anxious eyes, but after calling Spica, she was speechless.

“It’s disappointing that he cheated on me, but what’s even more disappointing is that he didn’t say a word and hid this fact. Shear alone must have had a hard time, but I didn’t know that, and I, who was stupid and smiled so brightly, all look like an idiot.”

…Somehow, it stung my conscience. The lady standing next to me was staring at my face with half-open eyes, but she didn’t know it and only looked at the two of them.

“Shear, I still need you. If you don’t wake me up in the morning, I’ll wake up late, I can’t dry my hair well, I can’t eat breakfast alone. I don’t know how to do laundry, I can’t cook. So help me. Give it to me. If it’s hard, help me with my younger brother. I’ll talk to my dad.

“My lady…!”

They were two people whose tear ducts didn’t dry up today.

That was the moment when an additional employee of the Birgo family was hired under the setting sun.

“…I still need you. So don’t leave.”

The young lady grabbed the sleeve of her dress and whispered in my ear. Her heart pounded enough to be heard by the young lady because she said it so earnestly that it tickled both her ears and my heart.

“…You haven’t found my toy yet?”

Somewhere in the depths of the Imperial Palace. A woman’s voice was heard as she stepped into a secret place known only to the emperor, the chosen one, in a treasure trove filled with gold coins and all kinds of treasures. Emperor Miridianus, bowing her head to the place where her voice was heard, opened her mouth.

“I’m sorry. We’re also looking for it with all our might… But it’s still dark news…”

Who will be the opponent that the one and only emperor, the brilliant sun of the empire, bowed his head to? The woman who slowly walked out of the darkness toward him.

“Seriously, how long do I have to wait? Even though it’s one of my personalities, I’m getting tired of matching it to your beat.”

It was the first princess of the empire, Valeria Solar, who covered her naked body by unraveling her sun-shining blonde hair.

“Ah, I thought that the kid who came to me yesterday was definitely a toy. I wonder if I was mistaken. Of course, he looks completely different from when he was my toy. Is that kid really not?”

“I’m just saying no because it’s rare black hair…”

“Is it because the sun that illuminates the empire is so dark?”

She was sarcastic as she left the emperor’s side, and muttered as she lay down on a pile of gold coins.

“I don’t know where she fled, but in the end, she’s bound to come into my hands.”

Her pupils were torn vertically as she picked up a handful of gold coins in her hand and dropped them one by one onto her white naked body.

“The moon needs the sun.”

It was shining like a lizard’s eyes.
