Chapter 259

“I’m telling you in advance, it was just two days ago when I found out that I was going to the academy. Stop your heartache!”

As soon as I got home, I didn’t even check that Cheryl was there, and the words I shouted and saw didn’t end in empty nonsense, fortunately.

After stroking Laika, who ran towards me after being hugged by Cheryl, when I looked up, Cheryl, who had just sat and had a conversation with Asillie, stiffened and asked me with a puzzled expression.

“how?”

“As soon as I heard the story from Master, I got a feeling. Would I have been your exclusive butler in Pom?”

Having worked as an exclusive butler for nearly two years and being able to get flustered without knowing your personality, that must be a skill of its own. incompetence. It is an ability that is far from this body that made some users who were treated as paratroopers in the early days wear a zipper in their mouths.

“I was going to invite you later, but thanks to your temper, it saved me a lot of trouble. How is it? Isn’t it a nice house?”

“...Are you serious?”

“Uh huh. You should see it as an adventurer’s sensibility, not an aristocrat’s sensibility.”

“You know it’s not like that.”

“Eh?”

I confidently looked around the house as I spoke, then looked down at Cheryl at the unexpected answer. She was looking at me with eyes that I had never expected. what? Why do you act like I know for sure but I don’t?

“What you... did, no matter how much it was for you, it wouldn’t have ended with just this kind of reward.”

“...ah.”

I see He is unaware of the secret friendship between the aristocracy and the royal family.

It was only then that I could understand the true nature of the resentment and resentment in Cheryl’s eyes. Still, it makes me laugh out loud when I see myself getting more upset than the person concerned, saying that there is a bond attached to them after living together for 2 years.

“Oh, you’re so commendable. So you were about to cry because you felt so unfair?”

“Never.”

She smiled and showed off her long cat Cheryl after a long time, but she did not struggle to reject my touch. It’s like seeing a younger sister in a fantasy who listens well even though she grumbles. While doing so, Asilie came over and joined the conversation with a smile.

“When I first came, I was really surprised to see that the world was collapsing.”

“No, never.”

“You really can’t lie. Look at your stuttering. Since you’re already here, have a meal and go.”

“That’s right. I didn’t say I had free time because there were no classes today, right?”

I remember being a little distant when I was staying at the mansion, but I don’t know if it’s because we had a little conversation while I wasn’t there, but it was Asilier who invited me quite naturally. Seeing that Cheryl accepted the offer with a halfway nod, it seemed that it was not particularly one-sided. However, she wasn’t such a simple child that her complaints that she had been harboring just disappeared, so even after putting her down again and messing with her hair once, Cheryl just looked at me with a look that she had a lot to say.

“Why again?”

“...Come to think of it, I have a question.”

“What?”

“Why did the former court mage Legneva want to make you his disciple?”

I don’t know if it’s because I’m not an aristocratic Cheryl, or if it’s just comfortable, but I had to stop my hands for a moment at the question that Cheryl ate while holding a chicken leg with her bare hands. Come to think of it, I didn’t even explain it to him.

“Geueueeeeee... I’d like to explain...”

“Does it have anything to do with you using magical powers?”

No, how did you find out about that?

I quickly shifted my gaze to Asilie, but even Asilie, who was eating chicken legs with a happy expression, was embarrassed by my gaze and just shook her head. Isn’t that what Asilie said? I don’t even remember saying that?

“What are you paying attention to? I can’t even feel the aura, but the magic is halfway there, and it’s not that I’m specialized in spirit magic, but if you win the hero and the demon tribe and defeat Enbelde and the knights under his command, except you’re not a human, you’ll have magical powers like the demon tribe. Wouldn’t it make more sense to write ?”

“...isn’t it more likely that I’m not human?”

“If it was a stranger, the chances would be higher that way, but we’re not the only ones left.”

yes. I spent a lot of time doing that. Apparently, I overlooked the fact that she understands me as much as I understand Cheryl.

But do you usually think that far? In modern terms, it’s a leap to the level that one of the magicians was a real wizard? This time, when I couldn’t understand easily and still couldn’t move my hands, Cheryl opened her ax eye and continued.

“How long do you think I’ve seen your sword and moves? I’m Cheryl Tsushin Ogatorp. I may not have beaten you, but I’m a genius.”

To say such a thing with an attitude of calmly telling the truth without any sign of shyness can be said to be a real bitch of confidence. Asilie, who had been rolling her eyes for a while, interrupted and changed the topic while she was dumbfounded by the confidence she hadn’t seen in a while.

“Have you never defeated Eldy? It’s a bit of a stretch for me to say this, but the elves’ swordsmanship that Eldi taught you was really the basic of the basics, right?”

In a way, it could be taken as a provocation, but Cheryl casually nodded while tearing off a chicken leg.

“Swordsmanship was like that. But Eldmia put a lot of effort into wielding her sword rather than swordsmanship.

“Can you tell?”

“It’s so obvious that you can’t tell. If you train for another two years, you’ll have room to win somehow with your skills, but that’s still Eldmia now. If you keep training, it’s four years at the earliest to win with swordsmanship.”

“That’s... a quote coming out?”

I always thought he was a genius, but it was the first time I’d ever heard him say it directly, so it was very unfamiliar, so I looked at him with suspicious eyes without realizing it.

“That’s why you’re mediocre and I’m a genius. You’re overpowering that gap with training, and you’re weird. Thanks to that weirdness, I realized my own laziness and shortcomings, so it was good for me.”

I kind of... swung like a madman. It was because he practiced swinging his sword perfectly in all directions.

At the time, I thought a lot about whether this was really meaningful, but it feels good to hear that I was recognized like this.
