Duke, Please Repent! chapter 59

15. The Duchess' Suspicious Assistant (2)

It blew up the scroll without meaning to the extent that it was safe to say it was a waste.

At the time, I was afraid of being called a hostage and used it in a hurry, but after a while, even though it was a waste, it could not be this much.

I feel sorry for Soler Tia, who must have worked hard to make the scroll.

'Even so, what I used is what I used

you .'

After all, I think it would be safe to have at least two copies, so I went to her store to say hello to Solertia as well.

- jingle

A small bell rang, and the door opened.

Welcome! What scroll are you looking for?

"Welcome , oh my. Sion-san!"

When I went inside, there was another woman I had never seen other than Solertia inside the counter.

"It's been a while, Solertia. But who is that ?"

"I guess I didn't have enough time to make scrolls because I was going to visit the store alone. So I hired one."

Hello, my name is Ella Benditum. You are an acquaintance of the president's sister, so you can just call me Ella.

You're the boss's older sister, have you already become sister-in-law?

I visited the store on the opening day of the store last month.

Solertia was alone at the time, so it must have not been that long since she started working... .

Haha, Solertia had excellent affinity for the original body, and Ella, who looked bubbly, seemed like a good fit.

My name is Zion Rivelon.

The friend of the president's sister who used to work as an aide at the craftsman is the one!

Yeah, that's me!

As if facing a great person, Ella's eyes shone brightly.

Sister, that's amazing! You've been a real friend of mine!

Okay then! Oh, you didn't believe me until now, did you?

Hehehe...

And her twin-eyed respect was not directed to me, but to Solertia, the Duke's aide's friend.

I thought he was a really good social worker.

More than that, why did you come, Mr. Sion? You didn't come without any business?

Oh no, that's...

I'm joking, joking~!

When I reacted in embarrassment, Solertia smiled and waved her hand.

I thought you were busy because the capital city is very noisy these days, but I didn't send anyone, so I asked if there was anything going on.

Now that your busy work is almost over, it's fine. Of course, I have a business, but I also came to ask how you are doing these days.

I'm doing well. At first, I didn't know many people and I was bored.

I have Ella now and it's okay.

I needed someone to look after the store, so I hired an employee, and when I asked him why he was out, he must have been chatting with her.

Business is also going very well? The ready-made scrolls are coming out often. I can't give you detailed customer information, but there are quite a few orders made to order.

Solertia said with a very proud expression.

I was a little worried because there were no customers in the store, but the scrolling was very difficult.

Since it is a family item, only people who buy it buy it, so it must have looked like that.

More than that, how about Sion-san? Are you getting along well with the Duke?

"Yes, there is no one who gets along better with the Duke than I do."

I mean it seriously, but Solertia seems to have taken it as a joke. She laughed loudly.

Ella, who was next to her, didn't understand, but when the boss smiled, she smiled brightly as if she was smiling.

Hey, you said you have a purpose? Is it scrolling purchase?

Yeah, I had to use a scroll a while ago, so I wrote one. I'm going to buy it again just in case.

This time, the best defense, right?

"It is treated as an expense, so of course it is."

Me and Solertia made eye contact and smiled. Solertia is good for making money, and I like being safer.

Hearing our conversation, Ella quickly

Crab got up and brought the scroll.

Actually, until now, if I was an aristocrat's assistant, I would just follow the nobleman, managing schedules and doing paperwork.

Usually that's right. But I wish I was already dry.

Why don't you take this opportunity to buy another scroll? There's no law that says self-defense should be limited to defense, right?

But it's dangerous, isn't it?

Oh my gosh? You're not going to use it on innocent people anyway, are you?

"Of course it is, but if the other person is wrong even by mistake "

"Even if it's an attack magic, it doesn't necessarily mean that you get seriously injured or die? There are also a lot of light electric shocks and other types of magic that bind or push the opponent away."

That was a little tempting.

There are many other scrolls with magic that are useful in life, how about this one? Actually, magic is a science created for convenience, but to use it only for quarrels... Don't you think it's too bad?

Wow, sure...

Is that right?

I nodded as if possessed.

After that, Solertia's magic praise or something continued, and Ella added Chuimsae next to her, so she couldn't help but buy it.

In the end, a cross-body bag was hanging loosely from my shoulder as I left the store.

The bag had been lent by Solertia, and inside was full of scrolls with colorful labels for identification.

'I accidentally took care of all of this, but what do I say to Serpens?'

This is not enough to say that it is not small, but it is enough to call it "big robbery" in the sense of 'daringly certain embezzlement'.

'But what would I have to personally use these for? It will all be used in relation to serpents anyway.'

When I think about it that way, I pray that it is not embezzlement.

Instead, a new problem arises.

'After I possessed Shion's body, I didn't take care of Serpence and did something else.

Have you ever done it?'

I didn't even think about it.

After work, I mostly just rolled around in bed alone and replayed the contents of [Master of the Holy Sword].

I'd like to write it down somewhere I feel like it, but Hans will find it and give it to Serpence.

And if it's a serpent, even if it's not the text of this world, it seems like he'll be able to interpret it somehow.

'No, it's phonetic characters, so even if you learn to read, you don't know what it means?'

Otherwise, Administrator Guberto

Doing the given homework, or going to Po Pina, the kitchen maid, to suggest tomorrow's dessert.

Occasionally, he made a reservation at a famous restaurant, secretly bought cakes, etc. and fed them.

'Am I a workaholic and nobody else?!'

It was so shocking.

This is a bit serious...

Yes? Did something big happen to you?

"I can't say yes or no , ugh!"

A moment of introspection, someone suddenly intervened in the quiet mumbled self-talk.

When he screamed in surprise and turned to check, he saw that Eugenes had a serious expression on his face at the same time.

"Wylydia-sama?! Suddenly where ."

I don't know why Euges keeps appearing in unexpected places and at unexpected times.

It's not a coincidence that you appeared now, isn't it?

Yes, I did it last time, but I wanted to continue the story. At first, Prasider

I even tried to apply for a visit to the Duchess of Sue, but I thought it would seem a bit strange to meet only the aide alone."

It is strange for a diplomat from a foreign country to visit the duke's residence and only see his aide. Even after meeting the duke, it was strange even if only the assistant was summoned and met.

"So I was thinking about it, but today it seems like you went out alone, so I came to see you."

How the hell do you not know that? It is doubtful that even a spirit was waiting near the duke's mansion.

Oops! I didn't mean to monitor. At first, I thought I'd ask the spirit to summon him a little...

Because of the Duke?

Yes, that's right. We will endure until we are caught and reverse summoned, but even if we are traced back, it may turn into a diplomatic problem."

I know that reverse summoning also puts a lot of strain on the body, but you can tolerate it.

I don't know what the hell I'm trying to do like that. Later, he realized that it was all his mistake.

How embarrassing would it be to close it?

"So, why did you want to meet me?"

I'm not talking about on the street...

At her suggestion, we moved to a nearby cafe.

Now let's talk comfortably.

As soon as the ordered car came out, Eugese summoned the spirit and asked to shut off the sound, then opened the rush.

Oh, before that, are you alone today? The escort at that time .

He's obviously excellent, but he's still not as good as our duke. He might get caught, so I told him not to come to the capital if possible.

Actually, this is a hint from what Euges said a while ago.

'I couldn't even send a spirit for fear of being caught by Serpens, so this is a good excuse... !'

If you say this, you won't even be able to think of a question like, 'When the Duke is present, there is no escort, and when he is there, the Duke is always invisible.

i See .

Eugene's ears drooped down very slightly. I guess I was a little disappointed.

Why? Isn't he supposed to be without him?

Oh, no! I was just asking because I was a little concerned!

If you have anything to tell me later, just let me know.

She seemed to be contemplating on how to answer her, but in the end she nodded her head meekly.

The story that was more serious earlier than that

what? Have you ever been spotted in a dark area?"

No, it's not. It's just a personal thing.

At my words, Euges put on a happy expression. He doesn't seem to care in the slightest about my personal problems.

But, why are you so interested in that place, Yulydia? Isn't that the place you want to destroy right now?

"Maybe you would have thought so in the past."

There seems to have been a change of heart recently.

I believed that humans have good hearts, and I still believe in them.

There was such a thing, but you still believe in the good heart of humans. It was still difficult to determine whether it was because she was an elf or her personal disposition.

Looking at the figure of her I read in [Master of the Holy Sword], it seemed like the latter.

"But they also have endless desires.

have it with No matter how hard you try to pull it out, no one knows. I felt deeply that I grew up in a place that only they knew."

Then I saw the actions you did in the dark and I realized that if it does not disappear and continues to exist, it is more effective to manage it as it is. Stop them from crossing the line as humans I need someone to do it.

You've learned some really good things.

'But the villain boss with a story behind it

Isn't that one of the cliché lines of
