38-038-Elena and her servants

128 years in the life of the King, Green Moon, 18th of July.

Greetings, my dear friend. My name is Marinella, and I am a traveling singer.

The next day, Marinella came to our room again, and after finishing her polite greetings, she sat down next to Elena for some reason.

''Originally, I was planning to leave the Holy King's Capital today and head for my hometown, the western port city of Aquaria, but I was afraid to do so.... But I was so impressed by your strength!　I would very much appreciate it if you would be my bodyguard!

Marinella said, and then hissed!　And I grabbed Elena's hand.

For some reason, though, I'm holding her hand and pulling her face closer to me, as if I'm about to rub her cheek now.

'Chi, chi, chi, it's close!　The pressure is awesome!''

"Those blue eyes and light blue hair are so beautiful........ It's like a jewel. It's really beautiful. I want to gaze at it all the time...........

'Oh, thank you very much that would be kind of nice.'

The little guys are nodding their heads hmmmily at Elena's gradually being pushed aside.

"Onii-chan. It's a good idea to go hard like that when you're closing in on Elena-san.

"Elena-nee, you're the type of person who gets excited when you're being a little forceful.

I see.

'Don't calmly analyze it, please help me~!

◇ ◇.

So, I came to buy something for tomorrow's departure...

I see, so the position Kanemitsu was in will become Elena.

As I muttered in stunned disbelief, I saw Marinella hugging Elena with a stain on her cheeks from the corner of my eye.

I was annoyed at Kanemitsu, but for some reason I can forgive myself if it's Elena and Marinella, so I can't say anything bad about Satsuki.

And it's refreshing to see Elena with a face like this, and it makes me smile a little bit.

While thinking about that, I glanced at Satsuki.......

'Nice!　That's very nice!　That's so nice!

No, this guy is too advanced, it's no good after all.

The sight of Satsuki looking at Elena and Marinella and smiling weirdly like "geeheehee", Yupiter is also completely taken aback.

''Hey Elena-san. Why don't the two of us go to South Street like this?　I have a good store!

''Oh, um, I need to do some shopping for the trip...''

Why don't you just let the servants do that?

.... uh...

"Hey, Onii-chan. Who do you think a servant is?

It's just "they" as in all three of us.

"Elena-nee, you've finally gotten to the point where you have three maidservants under your command~

"What?　''Don't think about it in a weird way, please help me!

[St. King's 128 years, green moon, 19th day of the month]

Therefore, we decided to escort Marinella as planned, and we left the Holy King's Capital Platena, where we stayed for a long time, and departed for the port city of Aquaria.

After a short time of entering the mountain road, my passive skill "Crisis Sense" reacted.

''Gosha-san, please stop the carriage for a moment.''

Um, what's going on?

Chuckling at Marinella, who anxiously hugged Elena and asked me questions, I asked Elena to do the usual thing while getting out of the carriage.

'Do you know where the bandits are?'

'Hmm ... one behind a rock on the left, one with a bow on a slightly higher cliff, and five ... no, six further back.'

Thank you, Elena. And Jupiter, can you see the archer on the cliff?

Of course. I'll just shoot his bow and scare the crap out of him!

Okay. Well then, I'll run in as soon as Jupiter shoots the arrow, and Elena, you cover me.

"Yes!

?

Marinella is curiously scowling at the sight of us steadily preparing for battle.

''Let's go then!''

◇ ◇.

They've killed the three a**h*les!

We went back to the carriage again, feeling as if we heard a revelation that we were going to be able to do so.

''Haha........''

Sure enough, Marinella was in a state of abandonment, and I couldn't help but laugh.

Incidentally, Satsuki was probably satisfied with watching the kill (mane) all around, and was relaxing by petting the horse in the carriage.

Now, this battle has proven that not only Elena, but also me and Jupiter are the most powerful guards, but what is Marinella's reaction...?

''To know the position of all the enemies in the dimly lit forest, and to give precise instructions to the servants.......that's a wonderful command, Elena-sama!

Huh?

Holy crap.

It seems that they've mistaken Elena for a commander, and on top of that, they've even called her 'Elena-sama'.

"Hahaha..... As I thought, you are the person of my destiny, Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

'I'm afraid for my eyes, Miss Marinella!　Kanata-san, don't look at me, please help me!

128 years in the life of the King, green moon, 20th.

The next day, we stopped at the village where we would be stopping for a stagecoach ride.

We were expecting to encounter a snatcher pretending to be a beggar in this village, so we looked for a guy who looked like one, and found a suspicious boy on the side of the road who was staring at us.

''Shadow stitching!''

So, I fired my usual shot at the boy's shadow, stopping him in his tracks.

This will prevent a purse snatching incident.

And when we pass in front of him........

Ugh....ugh!

A begging boy in rags tried to stand up, but he was tied to the shadow by the wooden skewer I threw him and couldn't move.

Then he sat down and began to cry, spilling out polo tears as he sat down.

Ugh, maybe I'm too hungry to move. If I die, my sick mother will...." "Somebody help me! Somebody help me, please help me........!

What?

Elena rushed over in a panic and pulled out a wooden skewer stuck in the shadows and spoke to the bewildered looking boy.

'I can use recovery magic!　Maybe you can help your sick mother!

Oh, really?

The boy led her straight to a small ramshackle house, where she found an emaciated woman lying on the ground.

Elena squinted her eyes as she checked her condition, and then, looking relieved, she held up her hands and began to chant her magic.

''With this, even my skills are fine. .................Antidote!

As a soft green light enveloped the woman's body, a black haze blew out and dissipated into the air.

The toxins disappeared, and the woman's blood color improved in an instant.

The mother slowly opened her eyes and embraced her child with tears streaming down her face.

◇ ◇ ◇.

'To save a poor mother and child from falling ill... could it be that Elena-sama is a goddess?　Ah, I'll give my body and mind and everything!

"Oh, no!　Why are you trying to take it off!　

This is no good.

Finally, I even started to worship my own body.... If it goes on like this, some strange religion will be created.

"Elena-nee, you're in for a rude awakening.

"Heeeee!　How did this happen?
