Chapter 48 (2/2)
“Ahaha, what’s this? This child’s really cute, isn’t she!? Where didja pick her up, Arnold?” (Raive)
She speaks as she heartily pats Muir’s head Following the motion of her hand, Muir’s head shook from side to side However, Raive didn’t seem to notice it at all
“By the way, Arnold, ith that introduction? When did you become a Lolicon?” (Raive)
“You’re wrong! Muir is h our blood isn’t connected, we’re father and child!” (Arnold)
Even Arnold’s sister conferred with Hiiro This was enough to depress Arnold considerably, so he began speaking rapidly
“Ah, so that’s it? I thought that, due to your lack of popularity, you kidnapped so her exactly to your preferences” (Raive)
“Who the hell do you think I am!? There’s no way I would do that! Do you really think of your cute younger brother as such a person!?” (Arnold)
“Ah, that was a joke, a joke About half of it, at least” (Raive)
“So half of it was serious!?” (Arnold)
Arnold took severehis shoulders, Raive let out another spout of smoke, and hit him on the back
“Geho! Geho! What are you doing!?” (Arnold) (TL: Sound of coughing)
“Go on Who’s the other one?” (Raive)
“Huy He’s Hiiro Okamura” (Arnold)
“T-that was quite a simple introduction” (Raive)
Raives smile cramps for a moment She considered whether the tere on bad terms, but deduced that they were not
“But he sure is quiet He hasn’t been saying anything for a while, but is he alright?” (Raive)
Hiiro holeheartedly drinking his cider His expression didn’t really show it, but he truly was in heaven He was celebrating his fated reunion with soda
(Fumu, if they mixed fruits or berries into it…)
As his head filled with thoughts of soda applications, he unintentionally let out s this, Raive asks Arnold once more
“Is that child alright? He’s started s for some reason” (Raive)
“Y-yeah, he sometimes does that Just leave him be” (Arnold)
“I-is that so? By the way, you suddenly left, and came back just as abruptly And with coht?” (Raive)
Her gentle eyes suddenly became sharp
“N-no, you’re wrong It’s true that I was curious about the war, but I didn’t coet master to train someone” (Arnold)
“Het permission?” (Raive)
“Yeah, I’ll be under her care along with Muir” (Arnold)
“Hm? What about that Hiiro kid?” (Raive)
“Ah, that guy’s going to go on a journey after about a week” (Arnold)
“Is that so?” (Raive)
“Until then, I thought I would show him around the city Since I was here, I also decided to drop by and see you” (Arnold)
“So I’m just an add-on!?” (Raive)
A fist came into contact with Arnold’s skull once more
“O-ow!” (Arnold)
“Quiet down, and endure it!” (Raive)
“… By the way, how are things going on your end?” (Arnold)
According to Raive, she had been working here as a maid for a number of years Contrary to her appearance and personality, she worked diligently and made it up the ranks to Head Maid
The King was quite fond of the meals she made, and happily ate them She had heard of the war, but did not participate in it
It’s not that she couldn’t fight, but she obstinately stood by her position as not to
She became a maid because she wished to make people happy She didn’t want to use her powers to harm anyone after all this time
That’s why she felt great relief upon learning that Arnold did not coo to war He wasn’t the best brother, but he was still precious family She didn’t want him to be taken away by the war
“Did you know about it, Raive?” (Arnold)
“About what?” (Raive)
“The war is over” (Arnold)
The cigarette dropped from her mouth onto the floor She hastily picks it up, and puts it into an ashtray-like fixture But her eyes remained open wide
“W-what are you saying?” (Raive)
“I understand your reaction But this is information from master” (Arnold)
“…… Is this for real?” (Raive)
She was still half in doubt, but Rarashi+k’s information was quite reliable
“Yeah, it see soon” (Arnold)
At that tie noise sounded out Everyone turned their attention to its source
“I-is that true?”
Standing there was the first princess, as held from battle The princess, Kuclear
