Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem - Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem chapter 96

96 – Nightmare (5)

Monday morning without Sirius. I woke up to the noise outside.

As I rubbed my eyes and came to my senses, I listened closely to the sound of screams like boiling metal along with coercive shouts coming from the hallway through the thick front door.

What will happen from the big wind on Monday, the beginning of the week? When I got up from the bed in a daze and came out of the room, Sirius, who was preparing breakfast in the living room, greeted me.

“Good night? I was going to wake you up, but you got up early.”

“Is something going on out there? And…”

Belatedly, a strangely shaped incense burner on the table caught my eye. It was a truly obscene incense burner with naked women with horns on their heads hanging from poles and holding a lid.

“Where did you get this hideous incense burner? Have you ever opened your eyes to a collectible like this?”

“It’s not a collectible, it’s a piece of evidence. It’s a magical tool that has been used since Friday night the other day.”

“…What?”

I doubted my ears. Yesterday, he said that there was a way to wake up from a nap during the day and put our heads together, but this morning we brought the source of the incident right in front of our eyes.

“It’s a magic tool called the dream demon’s incense burner. It’s a sleeping incense that makes you fall asleep forcibly without adding ingredients to burn incense, and an item that makes you dream of your unconscious desires.”

“It must be a dangerous… Thing. Then you can’t get it from the Mage Tower, right?”

All magic towers are contracted to sell items that do not harm anyone except the user, instead of selling magic tools to people.

If a mage tower broke the pact and sold it, the pact was so elaborate that all the countries on the continent would lead their troops to destroy the mage tower, so there was nothing to sell without reaching money.

“Of course. That incense burner was independently made by the Dark Star. Fortunately, it seems to be complicated to make, and there is only one in the academy.”

“Who said that?”

“These are the people being taken to the police force. To be precise, they are the dark stars that infiltrated the academy.”

While he was again doubting his ears and tilting his head, Sirius shook the frying pan around and put the finished omelet on a plate beautifully and put it on the table. My breakfast this morning was an omelet with salmon and a salad.

“How on earth did you find out? Leaving aside the fact that there is a Dark Star within the academy, can you confirm that it is the real Dark Star?”

“I jumped on my feet and researched hard, so I can say that.”

His mouth was heavy even for me, the owner, who made light omelettes, which are said to be the best way to gauge one’s cooking skills. He took off his apron and sat in front of me, slicing an omelet into bite-size pieces.

“The security guard will inform you of the results sooner or later. That’s right. Come to think of it, they received the results of the investigation on what happened in Tenebris the other day, and they said that the demon’s corpse and the dark stars disappeared without a trace.”

Diverting the subject, I picked up a piece of omelet that was ready to eat with my fork and tried to pass it to my mouth. Are you still treating me like a child?

“I’m not a child… I can eat it by myself.”

I opened my mouth reluctantly at the signal to open my mouth with my arms that did not fall off, and the taste of the well-cooked egg and salmon entered my mouth and danced.

“It’s so fresh (It’s so strange), Heuheonho’s hyung is gone. (Disappeared without a trace.)”

“My lady, when you speak, please eat everything before you speak. If you do that in front of other people, how will they see the Taurus family?”

He gives me food without a chance to reply and then nags me. Eventually, he passed the food down his throat without tasting it, and spoke again.

“You didn’t even have a chance to speak, you were passing it in front of your mouth.”

“Can’t you just say something without eating it?”

“How can I not eat when I open my mouth and say “Ah”?

“I thought you would talk and eat.”

Even though he seemed to be speaking seriously, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Early in the morning, she took the fork and knife she was holding and ate the omelet and salad in no time.

“If you eat too fast, it’s not good for digestion. Then you’ll gain weight.”

I tossed the fork into his hand as he laughed and said again and again, as if determined to make fun of me.

“Oops!”

It was an accurate hit, and from the morning the screams of death echoed throughout the room.

I should refrain from making fun of you when the lady is holding something. Who would have known that he would throw it? Thanks to that, he almost got a hole in his hand.

“I’ll come over and tell you what happened when you were with other people.”

“So, you’ll tell me everything without hiding anything?”

Nodded silently. I can tell you everything except Professor Wise’s. With the fact that he was still a dark star, there were many things to omit to be arrested by the police.

As the young lady left, basking in disapproving glances, I was relieved with a deep sigh.

Maybe it was because the tension had faded as I felt like I had handled a case that could have turned into a big deal, but as I sat down on the sofa, my heart was shaking.

A dreamer’s incense burner that didn’t even appear in the novel. The raid on the welcome party that Professor Wise was trying to carry out ended in failure, so it was obvious that he had rushed to the next plan.

“You just got to work and you’re on the verge of collapsing.”

“hahahaha…Look at me. I’ve been around all night looking for rats hiding in the academy with that. That’s overtime.”

Louis Thena, who was seeing off the lady next to me, smiled at me as I almost lay down on her sofa, and her eyes closed by themselves at her words to take a break during the morning.

As I fell asleep on the sofa for the second time after the last time, I remembered what I had done last night.

As soon as I left the lady’s room, I changed her clothes and stopped at the lodging where Professor Wise was staying.

It was the grace of a true teacher. Although he is not my teacher, since he claims to be the teacher of others, his grace is overflowing and sufficient for me to receive.

There was some friction, but after confirming the relationship between the top and the bottom, he became obedient and listened well. He couldn’t stand it while checking the relationship between the top and bottom and was hospitalized at dawn.

After receiving the list he created, it was necessary to verify his data. He moved cautiously against the possibility that he had falsely drafted an unrelated figure, and went undercover in the dormitory where Regula was staying.

On the first day, the young lady lived in the yellow-roofed dormitory. The next day, an incident took place in the blue-roofed dormitory where Spica and Lars are.

In that case, it was clear that an incident would occur in the red-roofed dormitory where Regula was located.

And my expectations were not wrong. I found three people walking around holding a dream horse’s incense burner and wearing a mask covering their nose and mouth, and dragged them to a secluded place for a brief interrogation.

After kindly answering information about the incense burner and why they did that, I checked to see if their names were on the list and threw them to the security guard.

Their purpose this time was an experiment. Next week, he kindly replied that he would attach a lethal dose of poison to the incense burner to present the death that comes after sweet dreams.

If it wasn’t for Shaula’s suspicion, I would have just passed it off as a mere happening. Admiration came out of the work that started with her doubts.

And… I fell asleep trying to think… About the personnel taken away this morning.

…

How deeply I must have fallen asleep, my ears opened by themselves due to the noise around me.

“…Tena, since when did you fall asleep?”

“As soon as the lady left, she almost collapsed on her bed, and after a while she fell asleep. Perhaps she was tired, she answered my joke without even opening her eyes.”

“How long have you been wandering around to collapse like this?”

“I don’t know. It’s the first time I’ve seen the butler sleep like this, so I’m not sure.”

I listened carefully to the conversation between the lady and Ruitena. Louis Thena said she should rest until the morning, but she didn’t touch it until the young lady returned?

Her senses were slowly returning, but she couldn’t bear to open her eyes. She must have fallen asleep sitting on the sofa, but somehow she was lying upright and the place where her head rested was softer than the sofa.

… Lay down with her lady’s thigh as a pillow.

“Stupid idiot. It would be nice if you would keep your mouth shut and not make fun of me like this.”

A familiar, soft hand caressed my face slowly. While arranging her bangs, her eyelashes collided, and she went up along the bridge of my nose and pulled my lips.

Then, from right to left, from upper lip to lower lip, he played with my lips with one finger and pulled the corners of her lips.

“What kind of idiot stays up all night saying there is a way. You idiot.”

“Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.”

My eyes opened spontaneously because of the pain. My eyes were still stiff from lack of sleep, but it wasn’t that painful.

“Did you know I was awake because of breathing?”

“Still, pulling is too much.”

“I watched him pretending to sleep for a while, but he stayed on until the end, so I was annoyed.”

After telling her truth, he let go of the corners of her mouth. The mouth of the lady looking down at her was sticking out.

“Why did you move so ignorantly? You still have a lot of perspective.”

“You’d be surprised to hear why I was in such a hurry. And I couldn’t endanger the young lady and her friends.”

As soon as word spreads that the lady and her tea party members were involved in the case, things get out of hand. It is obvious that it will become the focus of the remaining dark stars.

So, when I was secretly working within the academy, I acted while hiding everything that could be caught. As for her hair… She bought a tool that changed her hair color for a short period of time and was using it sold at the Mage’s Tower.

“Are you okay with being in danger?”

“It’s my job to keep you out of harm’s way. No matter what the risk…”

“Yes, I know. That’s what I hear every time. But the reason you’re having a hard time is because, after all, I’m your owner. If you weren’t my butler, you wouldn’t have to suffer so much…”

To her really embarrassing words, she pondered for a long time on how to respond. She quietly got up from her seat and looked at her face.

Contrary to her slightly flushed face, a superstitious girl who still pouts her mouth. She was covered in pods and made a fool.

“My lady, I am your butler.”

“Yeah. I know. But are you okay? I don’t think there’s anything else you want to do besides being a butler. But because of me…”

Seeing the lady who was worried about me reminded me again why she became her butler. At first, frustrated by her vengeance against Knight Gliese and my powerlessness, I only looked for ways to become stronger.

“No matter how hard I am, no matter how scarred she is, it’s my job to be by her side to help and protect her. And I made a promise with Tiamat-sama, and I want to do it, so I’m by her side.”

But when even Tiamat left for the stars, he became the only one who could soothe the young lady. Realizing that she was the only one she could lean on, she decided to stay by her side.

“I promised you on the rainy day when Tiamat passed away. She will always be by my side. Even if I can’t help but lie, I’ll keep my promise.”

“…If you talk about your mother in a mean way… You have nothing to say.”

The immature girl had become a full-fledged lady in front of her now and was worried about me. She avoids my eyes, but I see her occasionally trying to meet, and with a chuckle, she lies on her couch and holds her hand.

“So, please use me as you please. That’s why I’m here by the lady’s side.”

After my words, an awkward air current flowed along with silence. Did I even make a mistake?

“Wow… Butler, you are bold…”

Louis Thena, who was watching us from her side, with her mouth open, she realized what I was talking about as she admired.

“That…Used…That doesn’t mean…”

She tried to make lame excuses, but she didn’t seem to be able to hear them. She waved her eyes without going back and forth, and the lady ran to her room, hurrying to her.

“Deaconess…What you just said is true…”

“…No more talking. Please.”

It seemed as if a high kick would pierce the roof.
