107 Episode 104: The Maid is Scary (1/2)
Mr. Manashiro, may I have a word with you?
Hmm?
As I was about to leave the place alone and lonely, I was stopped by a very accomplished silver-haired maid who was attached to Sasha, the little blonde haired lady.
”Well, what can I do for you...?
I'm a bit of a hemming and hawing slob when I'm stopped out of the blue.
This maid is so unforgiving in many ways it's scary....
The way she cuts off her opponent's path of retreat and makes him choose only the one path she has planned for him, it's almost as if the fear is etched into me on a DNA level just by being shown it once....
If it wasn't for the perfect situation for the S-class cheat Nasu Yoichi, maybe I would have been tripped up too...
About this matter--
While I was bracing myself, wondering what they would say this time, what was thrown at me was...
”I am truly sorry for the numerous injustices. I sincerely apologize. And I can't thank you enough for guiding your daughter in the right direction. Thank you so much.
Uh, uh, yeah--
It was an apology and a thank you.
'Yeah, but you don't have to thank me for anything I did to draw it out. It's something I wanted to do.
''Is this a piece of cake? I'm impressed once again that you are indeed the ”God's Annihilationist” and ”Dragon Slayer” Manashilo Seya!
Oh...!
These two super cool names sound really good to the ears no matter how many times you hear them...!
But by the looks of it, I think the maid believes I'm the real deal.
Well, in that case, I must confess that I knew from the start that it was real.
'What? What?
What did you say?
I was careful to say as little as possible so that the cheat wouldn't get out of control, but you just couldn't help yourself.
'Well, in that case, to tell you the truth, I knew from the beginning that it was real.
Naturally, the Dispel-type S-class cheat 'What? What? was out of control, and the maid who was cut off from the cause and effect repeated the same words again.
Well, this time, it wasn't anything in particular.
I mean.
........yes?
How did you know it was coming?
Yesterday--or perhaps earlier today? The person who drove the Manashiros back to the village of Auld is my sister.
Oh, she's that cute girl with the short, smooth silver hair. If you come to think of it, the eyes are very similar..... And her hair is the same smooth silver hair.
”The general characteristics were as my sister had told me, and since I was with Lady Sakurai, I was almost certain of her identity from the beginning.
''Well then, if you'd said a word to your master about it, we wouldn't have had to have this duel...?
My honest opinion, however.
It's no fun--
I was cut off in a very short sentence.
”--No, I have a few thoughts.
'You just said it wasn't funny! I told you!
This guy is really scary...!
I thought it would be a good chance to get the young lady to be honest with you, Sacrai-sama, so I took advantage of Manashiro-sama's services out of spite.
'Oh, so that's what it was all about...'
