79 [2-13] Use cats and scissors (1/2)

Mehranze was confused.

There was too much work to do.

Well, let's just say there is. If I wanted to clean up this vast castle by myself, I could kill a month of my time. However, Rene said, ”If I need to, I can clean the whole castle in one go with my skeleton-deployed sea battle techniques, so I don't usually need to do it.

Then, how about keeping the rooms you use clean, there are only a few rooms you use.

”Excuse me, Princess.

What's wrong?

Miaranse caught Rene as he came out of the mission control room, where he had been talking to Everis.

I was going to clean the bedroom, but there was no sign of ...... use, so I thought I was in the wrong ...... room.

”Oh, you didn't use ......, come to think of it.

I thought it was a bad idea, but I was right.

Rene was walking around King's Landing, going back and forth between Everis's workshop and the mission control room, and showing no signs of resting at all.

I wondered if there was any point in cleaning.

The only other rooms in use were Everith's workshop and the mission control room, but both of them had various things on them that I shouldn't touch, so I couldn't even bother to clean them.

I peeked into the kitchen to prepare a meal, but there was no sign of use here either. ......

I don't need to sleep or eat. ......

I don't need to sleep or eat, but Miarandze and his friends don't either. I forgot.

I forgot. I'll need you to get some preserved food and cook it for me. Can you do the same for Everis and Tracy?

”Yes, of course.

Even as he replied, Mihranze felt a twinge of regret.

He knew that if he took care of Evelice and Tracy, they would be able to concentrate on their work for Rene ......, but both of them would be fine without Mihranze, and he was not able to take care of Rene, which was the most important thing.

Besides, René can do most things by himself.

Aristocrats are supposed to have their servants take care of everything, but Rene was raised as a commoner. In fact, there is a sense in which he finds it troublesome to have someone help him change his clothes. He even uses telekinesis to fasten the strings on the back of his clothes, which makes him a hardcore person.

When they first met and Mehranze said, ”Let me help you,” Rene asked, ”Can you fight?

He didn't think he needed a caretaker from the start.

So ...... can you help me fight?

* * *

Miaranse sat down on the cobblestones and breathed hard.

It was painful, as if his lungs were being crushed and stuck together.

The cold wind froze her throat and cooled her hot body.

Miaranse took off her maid's uniform and donned her light, form-fitting armor, adventurer style.

This equipment was left behind in King's Landing.

In this outfit, Miaranse was made to jump, leap, and swing her sword as Udanosuke and Tracy had just told her to do.

”Well?　Do you think you can handle it?

Oh, Princess .......

You can rest now.

Noticing Rene's arrival, Miarandze tried to straighten up his appearance, but Rene stopped him.

Your physical abilities are not so bad, that they are not so bad. If you train, you will become a better swordsman. I'm no more or less than that.

”I have good night vision. I can see at night. I can hear better with my big ears.

He's almost human in his abilities.

Udanosuke and Tracy gave their honest evaluations.

Miaranse listened to their words with a feeling that made her already painful chest tighten even more.

Better than average.

That was the assessment given to Miaranse.

Miaranse had a premonition. There would be more people following René in the future.

Right now, Miaranse is Rene's precious ”non-undead servant. But that doesn't mean he'll always be valuable. Rene will have to lead many demons. There will be people who are as sympathetic to Rene's path as Miaranse is.

What will happen to Mehranze then?

If he can be useful as a soldier, that's fine. If he can be useful as a soldier, that's fine. If he's not, he'll be useless or a liability. ......

”Well, okay. Tracy ...... is leaving tomorrow, Udanosuke. Try to practice on her when you're free.

Okay.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to make it work.

Of course, that's your first priority.

The apology made Miaranse want to disappear.

Udanosuke's original role was to teach Rene how to use a sword. And he is currently the strongest soldier in the army aside from Rene and Everis.

Tracy had been recruited by Rene himself as a secret agent, so she was sure to be busy.

I wonder how much ...... you can get out of their precious time.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Tracy nodded her head at Rene's suggestion.

If it's just dungeon exploration or infiltration, it's fine. ......

But I wouldn't recommend making her an agent. I can turn into any normal girl if I want to, but Miaranse has a little bit higher hurdle.

First of all, I have to cover my ears, and my kitten eyes are too distinctive to stand out. If you try to hide them, you'll have a hard time.

It's not only important for gathering information about other people, but when you're trying to sneak into somewhere and get away, it's very important to be able to blind your pursuers with your disguise.

It's not just the fact that you can't get away with it, but also that it's very important to be able to dazzle your pursuers with your disguise when you're trying to sneak in and escape.

If you cut off this ear, half the problem is ...... solved!

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to say, but it's gross!

You look like a cat, but you have a doggy temperament, don't you?

Stop it!　Your ears are so cute!

Rene and Tracy hurriedly stopped her.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you out.

...... I'll let you do it if you need to, but I don't feel the need to make you do it.

I'm sure you'll agree.　I'm sure you'll agree.

I understand. ......

The only thing left of Miaranse was a feeling of helplessness.

I'll be back.

The night in the royal capital was silent as the silver moon shone coldly.

In the city of death, where so many people have fled, Miarandze runs like a thief in a bard's tale.

From roof to roof.

Grabbing a pipe on the outside of the building, he slides down, kicks the wall on the way, and jumps to the second floor of the opposite building.

Through the empty apartment building, he jumps out the opposite window.

Then he slipped trying to grab the shaft of a sign sticking out into the street.

”Oh, ......!

The body is thrown out according to inertia.

The feeling of floating.

And...

”Aah!　............

In a posture that could barely be called passive, Miarandze fell into an uninhabited street.

He hit his shoulder and it hurt badly.

As he tried to get up, his ears picked up the sound of something flying through the wind.

”What, voluntary training?

”Princess!

You're in too much of a hurry. What are you doing?

Rene, who had apparently flown in from somewhere, landed softly in front of Miarandze.
