Chapter 20.3 (1/2)

Part 3

Kuro is being tactful in consideration for us.

「No, this is something that I wished to ask to Kuro-dono, too….」

「Me too？ 」

「Yes, Kuro-dono」

After I say so, Kuro sits down on his seat again.

Kuro is displaying a curious face.

But, I continue talking without minding it.

「I want to ask you to become a certain person’s bodyguard」

「Bodyguard？」

「Yes, those certain people suddenly decided to come to this kingdom. And I received an order from His Majesty to become their bodyguard, but I feel anxious for doing it alone. That’s why I want to borrow senpai’s power」

「Certain people？ Somebody like royalty of a different kingdom？ 」

I shake my head in denial after hearing what Gallios said. When I think about the people who will come in the future, they’re more than just another kingdom’s royalty.

「No, they’re not, but comparable to that」

「Huhm. Who is it, then？ 」

Gallios is asking with a puzzled voice.

「To be honest, the one who will come tomorrow is the hero, Reiji-sama, and his wives… Eh, what’s the matter, Kuro-dono！ ？ 」

Suddenly, Kuro spurts out the tea in his mouth.

The spurted tea sprayed right on Gallios’s face.

「I… I’m sorry Gallios-dono….」

Kuro apologized to Gallios.

「No, it’s okay, but… What’s the matter, Kuro-dono」

Gallios and I are surprised to see Kuro’s behavior. Kuro’s current state isn’t normal.

「It’s nothing, I just choked… My apologies… Please continue the story」
