Duke, Please Repent! chapter 67

17. The Duke's Business Trip Plan (2)

"Why are you looking at me with those eyes?"

Serpence, who felt my stinging gaze, asked curiously.

For reference, today's Serpence was found to have a hierarchical relationship because he used respectful words last time, so it is a setting that he is practicing using semi-speaking.

No, just. I was curious to see what the escort master thought.

Hmm... evidence of demon worshipers' involvement.

Without it, a formal request would be impossible. Even if we take issue with the illegal arena, it is difficult to see that it will be resolved properly."

I think the current King of Bastul is a little like that.

When I nodded my head to agree with him, Serpens looked at me in surprise.

His face was covered, so he couldn't see his expression.

However, I could easily grasp the meaning of that gaze, 'Do you know anything about your subject?'

"Certainly. Taking time while walking.

It's very likely to fade away... Big. Besides, are you sure that the person you're looking for is in the Kingdom of Bastul?

Well...?

Serpens has pointed out another problem.

Otherwise, the player might be taken away by the demon worshipers like this.

I think there's a high possibility. I haven't checked where they came from, but I've recently heard that a gladiator has been winning consecutive victories. As Lord Rivelon said, if the goal is to recruit, I think it's true that he will be a very talented person.

You, you're probably right.

Eugenes put forward a plausible hypothesis.

It is still too early to confirm that this is true, but the possibility has risen a bit.

"By the way, where did you get this information, Yulydia-sama?"

Did I buy it? Oh, I'm hiding my identity and being an elf. I pretended to be a guest who was purely interested in arena gambling, and asked only about the win rate and the gladiator's personal information.

When I asked the question that suddenly came to mind, Eugesu answered without even a single hesitation.

Now, even if she suddenly appears as a dark elf one day, I don't think it would be too surprising.

Then, should I just submit the gladiator's contract murder quest?

Why did this one suddenly enter suspense mode too?

The reason I don't say that I'm going to kill myself is probably because of the round-trip time to the Bastul Kingdom.

"Oh no! Why are you killing him?"

In the Empire, I'll wait for the demon worshipers to approach, and I'll use the method to target them... but I don't know when they'll come.

You can't wait in a foreign country for something you don't know.

When I looked at Serpens in surprise, he made a strange sound.

Doesn't this guy love to dig traps? Is it like this gimmicky fence?

I forgot to tell you this. He hasn't done anything bad yet, he's just a victim of good will.

But, as you said, wouldn't you eventually become a member of... a demon cult? Better get rid of it before it does more harm.

For that reason, you are the one who should be punished first, man.

'Compared to the final boss, only an executive... .'

Now that I do not know such a fact, I can say such a thing. If you think of something to confess later, you should correct that thought right now.

You can't just kill a person who hasn't done anything wrong! He's basically an upright guy. Right now, because of the wound he's been betrayed, take revenge on the world for a little while.

town ?!

I was about to pour out a rant to change Serpence's heart, but suddenly he shut my mouth.

'What, is this something you don't want to hear?'

He not only covered his mouth, but also completely restricted the movement of his head by grabbing the back of his neck with his opposite hand.

If you are in this state, you should try to remove it, and it will only waste your energy and time.

He rolled his eyes and glared at him with a line of dissatisfaction, and tapped the back of his hand.

Ha-a.

Taking a deep breath as if he was about to die, Serpens chin instead of both hands that had become unusable.

At the end of it, Eugene was wriggling with his wide-open eyes.

You didn't know exactly who he was, did you?

He's so imaginative. He often says things like this, but it's just speculation. You're a knight-turned-slave gladiator, you're sure there's a story behind you.

That's right! Listening to the story comes first... I learned a lot today.

With a look of great enlightenment, Eugene nodded his head.

Today, I have no choice but to pray that a novel will be written in her head.

Only after confirming the appearance, Serpens's hand fell off.

"By the way, isn't that behavior just the worst?"

" because I found out about escorts so easily last time. I asked you to just deal with me."

''That's right... . But what does that setting mean?"

If you find out that you are serving, you

I might get this focused attack?"

Suddenly, I became a person who threw away my pride for safety.

Yes, safety comes first!

"More than that, what are your plans for the future?"

Serpens hastily brought the topic back to the beginning and asked me a question.

We'll meet him, verify his identity, and scout on our side!

"How do I verify my identity?"

There must be information that you haven't revealed yet, or you have your own method of identification. He has a lot of secrets... Is that what you are?

You don't have to worry about Jin.

I don't know, but I wonder if Serpens is sweating in the hood right now.

At the words I spit out as much as I can, without even knowing the circumstances, I work hard to fix it.

I'm sorry to see that, but more than that... .

'relaxing !,

One well-raised final boss, I'm not envious of the ten main characters.

Let's say it's Humanus, not Serpens, who is here. maybe

Wouldn't it have been possible to rip off the bottom of what we had while going back and forth together?

Looking at Serpens with a happy smile, I see him clenching and opening his fist under the table.

'Are you debating whether or not to hit me now?'

Perhaps he is contemplating whether to hit him with his palm or his fist.

Calm down before it really hits you.

Then Lord Rivelon must go to Bastul Kingdom.

Yes? No, it seems like it should be, but I have to keep serving the Duke. Is it possible for Wilydia-sama to be alone...?

That's right, it's not even a day or two away. But I'm the only one who infiltrated the arena and rescued him. I'm the only one who can convince him to bring him back to the Empire...

He secretly tried to hand over the task to Eugenes, but it seems impossible.

Serpence would have been able to do it alone. It's a pity that I can't stay away for a long time.

"Really. Is that person going together? Two is enough ."

The master is not!

As you can see, he values his own safety very much, so it is impossible to fall more than a certain distance.

At his useless remarks, a hint of reluctance was cast on Eugez's expression.

Yeah, you've been on the lure operation. No, thinking about it, even then, the best defense scrolls..., ah. Safety must be guaranteed, that's it.

Could it be that Serpens is revenge for being treated as a cat by me now?

A very reasonable and reasonable doubt

heard.

In the end, isn't it just a matter of getting Duke Prasidus to move? If that's the case, then, as an assistant, you can naturally follow along, don't you?

Serpens spoke to me again, referring to himself in the third person.

But he doesn't compromise with evil...

"It's about destroying the evil of illegal arena and going to rescue the victims who suffer there."

Serpence naturally took over the question raised by Eugene. But keep your eyes fixed on me

there was.

Can't you convince the Duke?

Yes! No matter how persuasive you are, it's too bad that he's been away for so long, isn't it?

I don't know what the hell Serpence was thinking when he said something like that.

Judging from that, it must be saying that there is a way, but... .

It's like they heard rumors of a demon worshiper over there, and secretly asked for help through you.

I'll make a report and do something about it.

Serpens said while pointing at Eugenes.

If you stay still, he'll take care of it, so just answer me. is this going

Let's do it, huh?

This kind of answer is all you can do.

"But what if it doesn't show up from the demon cult?"

"Once you reach it, you will. If there are people who are suffering in front of you, they will

I'll try my best to help.

Is it okay to just use the Duke like that?

人人O '

One thing, one thing .

Serpence, who was having a conversation with Eugese, turned to me again.

I'll take care of the Duke, so don't worry!

If you say that... First, I should think about what to say to the Arche Kingdom.

Ah! If the duke is going with you, do you have to secretly chase after the master escort from behind?''

His body is one and it is inevitable.

Looking at Serpence with a hint of luck, he nodded lightly as if he had done well.

I will follow you while keeping a distance that you will not be noticed. But considering the duke's power, I [...], I will not go out.

Is that all right? Shall I send some spirits sometimes?

I'm only going to be suspicious of the duke for nothing.

"Ah I think so."

It seems that the situation is finally settled.

Serpense will take care of the future work, so can I take it easy and make travel plans?

By the way, we're working together, but you haven't asked my name yet. What's the name of the escort?

"Do you really need a name?"

Hey, it's vague to call him that...

"Do I really need to call you?"

Yes?

Euges questioned his ears and asked again.

Yes, I didn't know that you would deny the necessity of calling at all. be honest

I didn't know either.

There is no iron wall in this world.

Yeah, that's a little bit shy of our master... Yes, it hides a lot of it. But it will get better once you get used to it.

Doesn't sound like you're being shy?

No! Think carefully, compared to the last time we met, your tone of voice is much more natural! We talked a lot more than the last time... Did we go back and forth?

Well, it seems like that...?

Ginger and gentleman, Eugesu cooks and cooks

tilted his head.

It's nonsense, but it's true that his tone has become more natural... .

Although there is a part where he sometimes stops because he is unfamiliar with non-verbal language, this is enough progress.

'The last time I heard him in the dark, his low-key was quite unnatural.'

No, it wasn't unnatural.

To anyone other than me, the ending was very awkward and hard, as if talking to myself or cutting off the back of the horse.

Sometimes, they even convey their opinions around me in a way that they talk to me.

'If that's not enough, I just shut my mouth.'

After all, those who have eaten meat know how to eat it. It's easy to talk to me, so it seems like you've slowly learned the persimmons.

Do you know Sir Rivelon? That's his name.

Of course, I know the name as well as the face. But I am reluctant to reveal it myself...

It's just that you're completely hiding your identity.

I'll have to figure it out on my own

yo. This!

She clenched her fists and burned with enthusiasm.
