Chapter 277

Aegir POV–

「Oe save me, by now I would be…… it was all my fault that this happened . 」

Tears well up in Alma’s eyes, which were gently wiped away by Kroll’s finger .

「Alma . 」

「Kroll . 」

Their faces slowly get close .

「If you’re going to have s.e.x, that sofa over there is nice and soft . 」

The s.e.x after saving a girl should be exciting .

This is the living room, but if you’re going to get riled up here, I don’t mind watching .

「S-s.e.x…… uwaah……」

Compared to Alma who hides her blus.h.i.+ng face, Kroll’s face turns gloomy .

「I…… can no longer sleep with women . 」

Oh right . Kroll’s regained his interest for women, however his body haven’t recovered yet .

「Oh yeah…… you were impotent . 」

It unconsciously slipped out of my mouth .

Suddenly, Melissa and Dorothea censure me .

「Aegir-san, how could you!!」「Saying that in front of his lover is too cruel of you!」

「Kroll? What does that mean, impotent?」

「I guess I can’t hide it anymore . Actually……」

Kroll tells Alma about the fight with the Lich and the tragedy that occurred afterwards .

That was the harsh story of Kroll almost dying .

「So that’s what happened…… I thought for sure that you lost interest in me after those two came along . 」

「Of course not . I’ve always loved Alma the most . 」

The two of them hold each other’s hands .

「In that case, I can at least show you how to lick her va-――」

「「Oh, just be quiet already!」」

Melissa and Dorothea destroyed my nice idea .

The mood was building up so I thought I could teach him how to please a girl without using his d.i.c.k .

「More importantly, are you going to let that Gerald guy go like this? It became a mess midway through but those guys pulled knives on us after all . 」

Celia puts a finger to her mouth and thinks for a while .

Since she was so cute, I scratch the bottom of her chin, making her melt limply .

「Funyaa…… not! I don’t exactly mind that man’s hostility towards Kroll, but if he were to set fire to the mansion, it would be serious trouble . 」

I had Gido look for him after that, but the incident was really treated as just an average brawl .

There were quite a few who ended up bedridden .

Irijina must have beat them up pretty bad .

「Arson, eh…… I don’t think he’s the type of man who is courageous enough to do anything like that . 」

He was the first one who ran away after all .

「He wouldn’t do anything to Lord Hardlett, let alone his mansion, since that would be the end of him and his parents . If he were to target anyone, it would be those two the moment they step outside . 」

Alma shudders at Myla’s thought .

No matter how safe it is in the mansion, she can’t just stay inside all the time .

She frequently goes out to do shopping and other miscellaneous ch.o.r.es too .

「Don’t worry . I’ll protect her . 」

Kroll pulls Alma close to his body, which brings a smile of relief to her face, however――

「Sure, it would be foolish to try anything after . 」

Especially if he were to rape Alma, that would be trouble .

It won’t be a happy ending for everyone if that guy gets killed either .

「If people found out Lord Hardlett killed a small fry like that over a servant’s complications, it would actually bring down his status . 」

It’s uncool for a parent to act out on their children’s scuffles .

Let’s see, what should I do…… hm, I have no idea . I’ll let the people who have ideas think about it .

「Where did Leopolt run off to?」

「He took Nina and returned to his room . 」

I unconsciously stand up .

「What did you say!? They’re definitely going to do it . I can’t let this be . 」

He might finally be getting a chance to do it with Nina .

I make my way noisily along the hallway towards Leopolt’s room and open the door without knocking―― although I used too much strength and fell forward together with the door .

「Uoooh!」

「Kyaaah!」

I let out a shout as I collapse onto the fallen door . At the same time, I hear a scream .

Lifting up my head expecting Leopolt’s love affair, I see him sitting normally at his desk busy with work, with Nina carrying a stack of doc.u.ments beside him .

Of course, their clothes were still on .

The girl only screamed because she was surprised .

I don’t blame her . A guy destroying the door and suddenly barging into the room would do that .

「Why are your clothes on?」

「This isn’t the bathroom . 」

Leopolt turns to me unfazed .

Fine . Let’s get to the problem at hand .

「I have something I want you to think about . 」

It feels like his neutral expression scowled just a little .

Evening . Capital . Bar District .

「The window is so narrow . Plus it rattles every time we move it . 」

「It can’t be helped . This is a cheap mid-sized carriage after all . 」

Celia and I took turns to look out the small window .

The carriage itself is actually pretty big, but it doesn’t have cus.h.i.+ons for the hard seats so it can’t be considered pleasant .

「If it moves now, our b.u.t.ts will hurt . 」

Will Kroll come out already?

I speak as I look out at the darkening scenery .

「Oh, he’s here . 」

Kroll and Alma run towards us .

It looks like things went smoothly .

The area our carriage is stopped at is the section of the city where many bars and taverns are located .

It isn’t the most peaceful place, but it’s where Gerald and his buddies frequent according to Rebecca’s information .

「Haa, haa!」

「Wait right there! I’ll make you pay!」

Kroll is running with Alma in his arms, yet the distance between him and the chasing men behind is not getting any shorter .

He’s properly training that body of his .

「Our plan was for Irijina-san to step in if they caught up, but it looks like they’re fine . 」

Celia comments while fixing the collar of my s.h.i.+rt .

「The two of them are getting along well today soon after what happened yesterday and are holding hands on a date . That would definitely p.i.s.s that guy off . 」

I told Kroll and Alma to wander around them while flirting with each other until they got discovered .

Of course we narrowed down the places to where Gerald and his buddies were most likely to gather .

「G-go now!」

Kroll shouts loud enough so even the guys behind him could hear as soon as he jumps into my carriage with Alma .

Gido, who is in the driver’s seat, immediately whips the horse once and gets the carriage moving .

「Hey, that carriage over there, stop this instant! If you don’t stop, I’ll destroy the carriage!」

Not giving the men anymore than a sidelong glance, we close the door of the carriage . Kroll and Alma take off their casual clothes and change quickly .

Formal uniforms meant for servants to wear during occasions such as parties were prepared for them .

「Kyaa!」

「Geez, Aegir-sama!」

「Sorry, my hand moved by itself . 」

Seeing Alma’s a.s.s shake in her underwear, I just couldn’t help rubbing it .

It’s like a reflex . Forgive me .

「I’ve finished changing!」「Me too!」

Right when Kroll and Alma finished, something hits the carriage .

The men giving chase probably threw rocks at us . The thin and cheap wood breaks .

「This is perfect . Stop the carriage . 」

Gido playing the role of driver suddenly brings the carriage to a halt .

The men outside quickly surround the vehicle, beginning to kick and hit the carriage with sticks .

「Alma! You thought you could escape? I’m not going to let you off that easily! I’ll beat the s.h.i.+t out of you!」

That must be Gerald . Alma trembles and clings onto Kroll .

I’m glad . If he didn’t show up, these tricks would have gone to waste .

I wait until the surrounding men bust a hole in the window before kicking down the door and going outside .

「So you’re finally coming out! I have to pay you back for yester-…… eh?」

「W-who the heck are you……」

It’s to be expected that the men were shocked .

Right now I’m in complete n.o.ble dress as if I’m about to visit the royal palace .

The reason is because some acting is needed here .

「What a surprise . 」

I look at the men with a despising gaze .

「Picking a fight so boldly like this, looks like I’m also being underestimated despite my rumors . 」

An arrogant n.o.ble just came out of the tattered carriage they saw Kroll and Alma jump in and chased after .

The agitation of the men was so painfully obvious that I almost wiped them out myself, but I have to hold back .

「Are they your acquaintances?」

Behind me stand Kroll and Alma both in their formal dress, as well as Celia in her military uniform with a sword at her hip .

「「No, I don’t know them . 」」

After the two declare firmly, I glare at the men with all the bloodl.u.s.t built up within me before they could say anything .

「So they’re fodder for my sword, how foolish . 」

I retrieve the dragon longsword left in the carriage and take a stance after drawing the blade from its sheath .

「Don’t lie!」「Why is a n.o.ble here?」「That sword’s way too big!」「What’s going on here!?」

At the moment, the men only have six with them, although more of their friends are running closer from behind them .

Of course it doesn’t matter how many amateurish brats they gather, it still doesn’t frighten me .

「Gerald-san, isn’t this looking bad for us!?」「Use the name of your family like you always do!」

「N-no, that’s not……」

Gerald is faltering .

He should be . He’s been acting all high and mighty with his delinquent friends, but his status of second son of a family in which he isn’t even inheriting is actually nothing special .

If he brings trouble back home and gets disowned, he’ll be downgraded to a stupid brat who’s only slightly good looking .

He’s in a pitiful situation that’s only going to get worse .

「Shut up, lackey!」

I swing my longsword across my body, barely grazing the face of the man standing at the front .

Only the tip of his nose was cut, though it was enough to make the man fall flat on his a.s.s .

That “lackey!” was pretty good just now . If I was on stage, I’d definitely bring in big money for that performance .

「Hiiih!」「s.h.i.+t!」

「W-wait! Don’t take out your knife, stupid!!」

Seeing me swing my sword, the other men hastily take out their knives and short swords from their pockets .
