Chapter 4.8 (1/2)
Chapter 4. And so their story begins. (8)
“…So this is the power of the legendary metal bat.”
Rein said this as he trembled on the ground.
“Sorry. Cia came to me saying the same thing in the escape path.”
“…What’d she want?”
“She wanted to elope.”
“…You were lucky to come back alive.”
Looks like he knows something. Hoho, Cia, you scary girl.
-She was a total yandere…
[I guess so.]
She probably recovered by now, so let’s finish this quick.
“I collected all the heirlooms. The one with the flower’s probably the one from the Nermia family.”
“Probably… aren’t you being too irresponsible?”
“I wasn’t the one who stole it, so I wouldn’t know.”
…There isn’t proof, right? There’s no material proof at the scene, so it’s all good.
“…Is that it?”
Let’s just erase his suspicious gaze by showing him the metal bat again…
“Go.”
“…What about you?”
“You don’t have to worry about me.”
“No, I’m worried about myself…”
“You don’t have to worry. The one who’s behind all this is the princess.”
“…That worries me even more.”
This was the kid who was trying to become the best host in the capital. He probably heard a few rumors about the princess already. That’s probably why he’s scared, but.
“I worked with the princess in the past.”
“…You seem to have done a lot of strange things.”
“It was because of the rumors that the metal Mistein was there. I was there for about 2 years? I think that’s why the generation before Cia became so rebellious.”
“…The legendary generation. They took half of the organization with them and made a new organization of their own, didn’t they?”
“…The organization needed the metal to make the device that restricts energy, so I was needed outside despite having to leave my disciples. But in the end, we failed to secure the metal.”
No need to tell him about how I smuggled it away.
“…So the point is, the princess isn’t really like the rumors say?”
“Well, the rumors are actually pretty downsized.”
“…That’s even worse!”
I sighed as I looked at Rein scream in pain.
“She doesn’t care about where you’re from, as long as you have talent. She is confident that she would be able to reform anyone. And in reality, she actually can do that.”
“…So it’s fine as long as she thinks I’m useful?”
“Yes.”
Rein began to think after hearing this. Because of the princess’ face, it went without saying that the males treated her nicely. On the other hand, she got a lot of hate and jealousy from the females, even though it wasn’t really shown outright.
But she knows that already. But what if Rein was there?
Even though he looks like this, he could potentially rank himself at first place in the capital’s host club. No, he is probably better than that. And the host club is a place where the n.o.bles go to in the first place.
Rein, who can seduce all kinds of n.o.ble women into his stead, could probably look favorable towards the princess.
“Then what is she like?”
“What, you planning on seducing her?”
“…Not planning on dying any soon. No, in the first place, being in love with someone in this job would get you killed in an instant.”
Yeah, it wouldn’t be strange if he actually died.
“…Well, she’s… like Cia.”
Grab.
The moment the words left my mouth, Rein grabbed on my leg.
“T, take me! I don’t want to die!”
“…Just what does Cia look like to you…”
“A yandere! A total yandere! I could see the madness in her! So what if she’s pretty, what if she’s talented? No, her beauty and talent is what actually scares me the most!”
“……”
His accurate observations rendered me speechless. But…
“Then there is no one who would deliver this for me.”
“…Y, you’re trying to kill off your disciple because of a simple delivery?!”
