Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

18 – Welcome Party (2)

As the welcome party was gradually coming to an end, the lady looked around and said,

“The atmosphere seems to be ending soon. A lot of people have left, and the only ones left are people who can drink and assistants.”

“I think I can smell the alcohol just by approaching it.”

“I see…What does it taste like…It looks delicious when you drink it like that.”

He gulped as he watched several people holding a drinking party in a corner. I was also curious about the taste of alcohol here, but drinking alcohol at a young age is not good for the body. I dried her because it could harm her growth.

“Not yet. I’ll give it to you on your birthday when you become an adult.”

“Okay, let’s drink together then.”

When that time comes, I will ask the butler or Mr. Gillian what kind of alcohol will suit the young lady. Especially if you’re the head butler, you’ll know it well because he also manages the family’s wine.

“I’ll prepare a good drink.”

“Anything is fine. Shall we go too?”

“Yes, let’s go back soon. You have to prepare for the entrance ceremony the day after tomorrow. You have to check if the girl’s uniform fits well.”

I left the banquet hall and headed for the dormitory. On the road to the dormitory, the moonlight was shining on us, lighting the way.

“As you said, the evening air is nice and cool.”

As the lady in front walked while looking at the moon, I also looked up at the place where the moon was. The full moon was shining brightly as if welcoming us. The lady and I looked at the moon together and laughed.

“The moonlight is brighter than yesterday.”

“Yeah, it was a bit dark yesterday because of the clouds.”

“I think he looks even brighter because he only danced with me all night last night.”

“I should have looked at the sky at least once last night. I didn’t even get to see it because someone never looked at it when I sparred.”

“Because the young lady kept making the same mistake over and over again. To fix it, she had no choice but to master repetition.”

She shrugged her shoulders and came out with a helpless attitude. That’s what I learned from the butler, too, so I think the same way as me would be quicker for the young lady to become stronger.

Far from taking offense at my words, the young lady nodded her head with her serious face.

“Yes, we have to fix it. Because we have to.”

I don’t know if there will be anyone who can beat the lady in the grade of my age. Even though she is a young lady who will become stronger through academy classes and my sparring, she seemed to say that she still lacks more.

“It’s okay because I still have a lot of time. The more I eat in a hurry, the more I get sick, so I have to digest it slowly and for a long time.”

“…How long did it take you to do that?”

“Five years… A little less.”

“…Five years…”

The young lady put her hand on her chest and clenched her fist as if promising. She nodded her head a few times and then turned around and looked at me.

“…It’s so hard I can’t walk.”

“Yes?”

A girl who said she was 5 years old and she thought she was going to talk about something, but she said it was hard. She was dumbfounded and at a loss for words.

“This is the second time I’ve worn heels…”

The young lady’s feet were swollen, and her heels were slightly torn to show her scars. You mean she’s been like this?

She resented me for not noticing anything.

“If you’re sick, you should have told me you were sick.”

“…How could you say that in a place like that…If I had been so strong and showed weakness, they would have bitten and slandered me.”

“Haa…Get on your back quickly.”

“That…It’s okay if you take a break”

“I need to go to my room to treat my wounds, so hurry up and get on my back. Take off your shoes.”

I had to go and apply the potion and put a band-aid on, because if I left those wounds alone, the white-jade-like lady’s feet might be scarred.

“…I might be heavy…”

“My lady is always light to me.”

“And… Other people in the dormitory might see it…”

“You can put it back on near the dormitory and walk a bit. I’ll catch it next to you.”

She didn’t take a word from her, just like the young lady did with Shaulla.

“…If you’re going to do it, do it quickly…”

“Come to think of it, it’s a lady’s dress, so it’s going to be hard to carry on your back. Wait a minute…”

Come to think of it, the lady’s dress was a dress that almost clung to her body. Thinking that the dress I bought with expensive money could be damaged if I carried it for no reason, I grabbed the shoes in my hands first.

“Oops.”

“Wow…Wow…”

When I held the so-called princess, holding her by the shoulders and thighs and lifting her up, the lady was startled and grabbed her by the neck.

“…Is that what you were trying to do?”

“No, thinking about it, I thought it would be uncomfortable to wear a dress if I put it on, so I just changed the means.”

The distance that her breath could reach if she turned her face. The young lady must have been embarrassed, her face was glowing red even under the moonlight.

“…I’ll just walk away.”

“If it’s uncomfortable, please bear with it. It’ll be a dorm room soon. It’s because of the center of gravity. Could you hold my shoulders? My neck…Is a bit heavy.”

I nodded at my words, then moved one hand behind my neck, grabbed my shoulder, and clasped my grip with the other hand to stabilize my posture. Instead, the lady should keep looking at my face.

“…Isn’t it… Heavy?”

“I told you before. The lady is always light.”

“…Thank you.”

“That’s what I have to do.”

“…Couldn’t you just say it from the heart?”

A girl with puffy cheeks. True mind…

“This is for you, Lady Europa.”

A promise she will make when she grows up. It’s a bit early, but she did it as a reward for the image she showed at the reception today.

The young lady was dumbfounded by my answer, and he just stared at my face without saying anything until near the dormitory building.

…That’s… Burdensome, isn’t it?

#

“It’s cold…!”

A woman’s cry resounded as if the dormitory building was shaking. The protagonist of the voice was Europa. She sat on the bed in her room, changed into comfortable pajamas, and couldn’t stand the cold potion that Sirius, the attendant, applied to her feet.

“Shhh… At this rate everyone in the dormitory will wake up.”

Then the pot of her potion was scooped up by dipping her fingers and gently applying it to the wounds on her feet. She tried to keep her mouth shut because of Sirius’s words, but she couldn’t stop her moaning from leaking out.

“It’s so… Itchy… It’s so…”

“Please bear with me a little longer. I’m almost done.”

“Ahhh…Is there still more…?”

“Yes, the top of the toe is slightly scarred from the shoe.”

“Hey!”

Sirius puts the potion on her toes. Europa’s whole body trembled at his hand as he applied it in detail as if applying glaze to pottery. Sirius said, rubbing her wounds all over and putting a bandage on his hand.

“This is enough. Please wear dark socks for a while so that the bandage is not visible.”

“…Ah…Okay…”

Europa, barely calming herself and answering her, patted her bandaged foot. Sirius opened her eyes at the action.

“Oh no, you can’t touch it.”

“…I thought I would die of tickling because you itchd me.”

I refrained from moving my hands with my feet and fiddled with the ends of my pajamas. Feeling sorry for her trying to endure her tickle, she placed her hand on the back of her hand.

“It’s all for the sake of the lady. It doesn’t look good when the wounds are damaged.”

“That’s right… I won’t touch it, so stop it. I’ve tried on the school uniform before applying the medicine, so there won’t be any problems, right?”

“Of course. You should rest now and prepare well for the entrance ceremony to be held the day after tomorrow.”

“Isn’t it usually the opposite of the entrance ceremony after the welcome party?”

“They say that they go to class right after the entrance ceremony, so they say there is no time for a welcome party. And they say it’s to show the atmosphere of the academy and talk about the class or to talk about things you can’t have in class.”

In other words, it was a welcome party that served as an opportunity for nobles to get a taste of the society at the university OT, and for commoners to build a foothold for their future.

“I was just asking a personal question…”

“That’s normal in the social world. Even the young lady has to debut in the social world in the next four years.”

“I see…If something like that happens in the future, I’ll take a closer look.”

“That’s right. As expected, the young lady knows ten things if I tell her one thing.”

At Sirius’s clap clap clap, Europa collapsed onto the bed. He was delighted with the praise and covered his face with his arm to hide his blush.

“That’s all right…Now I’m sleepy…Tomorrow…What are you going to do?”

“Well…I’m thinking about going to the market to buy some groceries.”

“I see…I see…What can I do?”

Europe lifted her head and examined Sirius’ face. His contemplative eyes went up to the ceiling before stopping.

“Your feet hurt, so would you like to prepare for the next study? If you’re doing well, I’ll make you a delicious snack…”

Before Sirius could finish his words, a pillow flew towards his face. Sirius dodges lightly and returns the pillow he grabbed. He was sitting on the bed, sticking out his mouth.

“…I don’t like that. I’ll just do it my way tomorrow.”

“It’s a long-awaited holiday, so that’s it. There’s nothing good about preparing for lessons.”

“I’m sleepy now, so I’m going to sleep. Go away.”

“Sleep well”

When Sirius went out and turned off the light, she flopped down on the bed and kicked the bed with her feet.

‘Ah! I’m stupid! If you just want to be with me, why are you saying that…’

I spent the night venting my anger on the bed that I couldn’t reach him. On the other hand, Sirius put the clothes he was wearing in order and took notes on what to see for tomorrow before going to sleep.

The dawn before the dawn of the next day. Sirius came out of the dormitory in simple clothes and ran around the academy with light steps.

Looking around the vast academy, students and teaching assistants who drank last night showed ugly figures sitting holding their heads at the entrance of the academy building or sleeping in the nearby grass.

“Looks like college students drinking for the first time.”

He left the place laughing compared to the memories of his previous life. Gradually, the pace of the run increased and did not stop even after arriving at the dormitory building.

As the sun gradually set over the foot of the mountain, he was sweating profusely after running around the academy three times. Afterwards, he finished various muscle exercises in the open field, and the morning dawned.

After taking a quick shower and changing into a tailcoat, I tried to knock on the door to wake the lady.

“Oh, it’s the holiday, so let’s get some more sleep.”

Then he made four simple sandwiches in the ready-to-cook kitchen. He ate one piece and placed the remaining three pieces neatly on his plate.

“I have to go to the market early in the morning”

I tore off a piece of memo and wrote down the sentence, “I’ll go to the market, so I’ll have breakfast.” Then I left the dormitory and talked to the soldier sitting at the guard post near the main entrance of the academy.

“I’m Sirius, the butler of the Taurus family. Can I get an outing pass?”

“Ah, if it’s a holiday, you don’t need a pass. You just have to come back before nightfall, so just wear your badge.”

Sirius said while pointing at the badge that was filled with his hand. Sirius greeted him with a bright smile as if he was grateful, and then went out of the academy.

It was built with the thought that being close to the academy would make it easier for employees to use it and that it would have an impact on the spending of people in the market.

“First of all… I apologize, baguette bread, sandwich bread, pasta noodles, and vegetables… I’ll buy some other things that catch my eye.”

I picked up the notebook he wrote down yesterday. The notebook he had received from William five years ago when he couldn’t speak was now a little worn with signs of the years, but thanks to good care, there were no missing parts.

Now he didn’t care about the way he looked at him. He was wearing a badge representing the family he served, and Europa had told him that he was his butler.

“Sirius…! Is Sirius, the butler of the Taurus family here?!”

Hearing the voice of a woman looking for him in the market, he shook her hand and said.

“It’s me, but who are you…”

At Sirius’s words, the owner of the voice hurriedly approached and grabbed his shoulder. She had silver hair, sky-blue eyes, and was wearing a silver nun’s uniform. She was Saint Magellan.

“Listen up. Let me tell you why the stars can’t find your age and there are no constellations!”

“No, so who are you?”

“Ah, if I were to introduce myself, I would…”

“The saintess has fled to this area. Hurry and find it!”

Magellan shuddered as the crowd in white robes roamed the market and looked around. Sirius noticed that and asked her.

“Could it be…Saint…?”

Her eyes were shining bright as she nodded her head in accordance with his words.

Saint Magellan Pixis (24). She has finally reached her goal.

The meeting between Sirius and Magellan took place five years after Father Marcel sent the letter.
