Chapter 26 Part1 (2/2)

(It can't be helped, it's about time. This is embarra.s.sing, but let's go as we arranged……)

But if I'm doing this, I have to get rid of all hesitation.

From now on, I'm Arisa's disciple, and at the same time her exclusive butler!

Yeah, I'm Arisa's butler!

Just for the moment!

Attain the consciousness of a butler, attain it……!

I take the feeling that I will writhe at any moment that's boiling up inside of me, and crush it to death.

I took a step closer to Arisa, respectfully grasped her hand, and spoke.

”⸺Arisa-ojousama, how about stopping your jokes for now?

You don't need to pointlessly expend your time here.”

Courteous language that I would normally never use.

And a gentle and refres.h.i.+ng smile on my face.

(I'm going to die. I'm going to die now. I'm going to die in agony now.)

Looking at such a me, Ellie was stifling her laughter beside me.

”……I guess you're right, my beloved Edgar. In that case darling, can you take care of the necessary preparations?”

When Arisa looked at the guards as if they were trash, *kaki!* a sound echoed, and the area by their feet froze over.

”⸺Hii!”

”……Easily.”

Arisa quietly smiled at the guards.

After a while of procedures, they were able to confirm that it was Arisa.

”We were able to confirm that it was you! We apologize for keeping you waiting for so long! Please pa.s.s through!”

Saying so, the guards lowered their heads.

(……I'm really sorry, guard-san.)

”Yes, thank you. Well then everyone, farewell.”

Letting her mantle flutter, Arisa walked briskly.

Ellie and I bowed once to the guards, and pa.s.sed through.

There was no one who stopped us. The guards and the people around us sighed a breath of relief.

Like that, for the first time since I came to this world, I entered a town of otherworlders.
