Chapter 250


    <strong>CHAPTER 250 – IT’S NOT LIKE ANYBODY IS ALRIGHT</strong>


    「Attack!」


    While three soldiers were about to attack, I silently unsheathed Eleanor .


    I chopped one’s head, shed one diagonally, and severed one from his waist .


    I instantly killed the three soldiers .


    After that, I faced the man who looks like their captain and stared at him .


    I waited for a moment . I waited for the goal I had foring here .


    「Please wait, you are Marquis Yuuki right? We areーー」


    「I know」


    Their side called my name knowing my identity and I answered .


    The condition is fulfilled with this, so I chopped the man from top to bottom .


    Half of his body immediately copsed and half stood for a while, then his eye turned then copsed .


    Soon after, the soldiers ran away .


    『Otou-san, is it okay not going after them?』


    「It’s alright . After all, my goal is reached with this」


    『Is that so?』


    『Umu . A person who is favored by Selene intervened while knowing the situation . We need those soldiers who have escaped will be the messenger to spread that fact』


    『That’s sounds difficult?』


    『Hikari is fine just like that . You only need to think how to grow as a Demon Sword first . Other things would just follow upter on』


    『Un!』


    『By the way, thest attack . The reason why he was chopped from top to bottomーー』


    Hikari who replied innocently and Eleanor who is teaching her daughter the way of the Demon Sword .


    They’re different from an ordinary mother and daughter, but that’s the good thing about it .


    ☆


    I let Duke Melina’s servants out of the cages .


    There were some of them who looked ill, so I cured them using my white magic ball .


    After that, as the person who saved them, almost all of them started to look at me in a favorable light .


    「We thank you」


    After a while, the oldest person among the servants, a man with dignity said that to me .


    People who have lived for a certain extent would have their behavior in their daily lives fixed .


    Those from royal families would still look like someone from the royal family even if they wore amoner’s clothes .


    This man, I could tell easily that he has the demeanor of a “butler” with one look .


    「We have been saved all thanks to you」


    「Don’t mind it . I only did what I was asked to do」


    Just like the soldiers from earlier, I need these people to spread that fact as well, so I said that .


    「……Yes」


    He was really a butler, he immediately understood what I wanted to say but didn’t say out loud . He had that kind of face .


    I handed the man a bag full of silver coins .


    Paper notes are only used in Mercouri, so money would be heavy .


    「This is?」


    「For your travel expenses . Use that to return to your master」


    「……」


    「What’s the matter?」


    I asked the man who made a difficult face .


    No, it was not only that man . Looking closely, even the other servants, most of them had aplicated face .


    「Is it alright for us to return to the Duke His Excellency」


    「You understand why I came to intervene like this right?」


    「Yes」


    The man answered promptly . Seeing him answer instantly, I don’t think that he doesn’t understand the situation wrongly .


    Then why?


    「The Duke His Excellency is one who is defeated, is there a future waiting for us if we follow the Duke?」


    「……」


    『Kukuku』


    Eleanorughed . Her tone sounded like she found it so funny .


    「Marquis Yuuki, Your Highness, can you not save us?」


    When the butler said that, everyone looked at me at once .


    In other words, is it that?


    They want to switch over from Melina to me huh?


    ☆


    I used my Warp Feather to return to my mansion .


    I appeared in the living room and encountered Miu .


    「W-Wee back, Master」


    「I’m back, Miu……what’s the matter?」


    Miu who was staring at me timidly looked around me .


    She acts as if she was searching for something .


    「Master……are you by yourself?」


    Looking up to me, Miu……she timidly asked while she checked my expression .


    「Yeah, I’m by myself」


    「Uhm, uhh……」


    Miu was unusually fidgeting and seemed like she wanted to ask more, but .


    She also looks like she wants to ask but could not say it out loud . Seeing that Miu, I said,


    「This mansion’s maid is Miu alone」


    「ーーYes!」


    When I told her what she wanted to know the most, she smiled just like a flower had bloomed .


    Before I went to rescue, I returned to the mansion once to take Hikari with me . At that time, I told Miu what I was going to do .


    And because of that, she was probably curious if I was going to bring in a new maid .


    「Miu」


    「Yes」


    「I want to MofuMofu」


    「Understood . I’lle immediately」


    Miu said and left the living room . I was talking to a Miu puppet and it looks like the original would take her ce for the sake of MofuMofu .


    I sat on the sofa and waited for Miu .


    『Ne?, Otou-san』


    「n?」


    『Why didn’t you bring those people?』


    Hikari asked a natural question .


    That’s right, I didn’t bring anyone back .


    I only gave them money for traveling expenses and returned .


    The reason why I didn’t take anyone backーーthe reason why I didn’t made them my servant .


    It’s because I didn’t have a need for anyone who wants to betray their master during troubled times .


    They looked strangely expectant because I cured the ill girl, but I am not that kind of person .


    Ahh, well, this is more simple .


    「It’s because there wasn’t a good woman among them」


    『I see!』


    Hikari was convinced .


    That’s right . There wasn’t any good woman among them .


    Among those people who would betray their master, there was no way that there would be a good woman .


    『Kukuku, that’s really like you』


    「Is it bad?」


    『Nope?』


    Eleanor said yfully .


    『That is what you are』


    She said sounding really yful .
