Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

28 – Ox vs. Sheep

Shaula must have been talking about Nefeli on the way to the dormitory for lunch with the lady. For she explained to her lady the shaggy ties to our family.

But why are you here? Didn’t you throw away your class?

The young lady and I were shocked when Shaula appeared, but Nefeli looked satisfied as if nothing had happened.

“The same Twelve Pillars should prove this duel! Alright, we’ve got everything we need!”

A smile of satisfaction mixed with mad eyes. How many times did he hear about the Taurus family and do that? Shaula, who was next to the two of them, came towards her and was looking at them.

“…Why is Shaula here?”

I couldn’t stand my curiosity and finally asked Shaula. Shaula glanced at me briefly, then returned her gaze to the front.

“To be a witness to the sacred duel of the twelve pillars…”

“What do you mean?”

“I thought it would be fun. I was also curious about what you said to Miss Europa earlier.”

How far have you heard this person…

“You didn’t skip class, did you?”

“Sue, there may be more important things than class. Besides, it’s the first day? I can catch up on the first day’s class in no time. Dude, you don’t know how much I studied while I was at the mansion, right? The academy’s class was a complete vacation or something. Is there any difference?”

It was Shaula, who sprang up her speech as she scrambled. I ate 100% of this. She wondered why this was so important that she skipped her class. I shook my head spontaneously at the incomprehensible action.

Meanwhile, the lady and Nepheli on top of the gymnasium posed as if they were ready. Nefeli showed a posture similar to the Imperial Spear 1 Choshik, and the lady held her sword down at an angle.

“It’s such a ignorantly large knife. It’s so dull that it can cut even fruit?”

“It’s the perfect sword for me. You’re holding a strange-looking spear.”

It was Nefeli who was arguing for nothing, but the young lady didn’t care about the arguing and fought back.

“It’s strange! It’s my spear that has the same shape and weight as Enkidu, the legendary spear passed down from generation to generation in our family!”

“Then your family must use strange spears.”

“Did you say everything!?”

As expected, my lady doesn’t say a word.

Seeing the two of them already starting a war of nerves, Shaula took a deep breath with a serious look in her eyes. She breathed in so that her chest moved slightly, and she opened her mouth.

“A duel for the honor of the Taurus and Aries families, the Scorpio family will watch and become the witness of victory or defeat. Then let’s begin!”

With Shaula’s signal to start, the roar of her swords and spears clashing reverberated throughout the arena.

The first attack was a swift stab, befitting the posture Sirius had seen of Nefeli. Sirius effortlessly raised his sword to block it with a speed similar to the thrust seen in training with Europa.

“I didn’t expect to stop this. That ignorant broadsword was lucky to help?”

“It’s not luck, because I saw everything?”

“Then you’ll know when you see the next attack!”

Following a quick back step, he grabbed the tip of the spear with one hand instead of both hands and stabbed it toward Europa. Using the length of the spear as much as possible, I went around her and stabbed her once.

Her spear skills, which are more flexible and skillful than Sirius, are combined, and her unexpected attack reveals her gap.

Nefeli holding the tip of the spear with both hands and swinging it. As the centrifugal force from the tip of the spear was applied, the blade of the spear flew towards Europa with formidable speed. She raised her sword to block it, but the centrifugal force applied to the heavy spear caused her body to float and fly away with formidable power.

Her Neferi charged her again as she corrected her stance, centering her weight with her sword. As befits the constellation Aries, Europa, who couldn’t get enough of her pulse at the violent charge, was just focusing on blocking her attack.

“Ahahahaha! You’re doing nothing, you’re like a turtle! I’ll give Taurus to someone else!”

“…”

Seeing her incapable of doing anything, Sirius became impatient. Like the story of the novel, she was lost and had to watch her with her fists clenched in fear of her trauma and her discord with the Count.

“A servant who does not trust the master, as Miss Europa said, is a bad butler.”

When her Shaula spoke sarcastically, Sirius, who suddenly came to her senses, looked at her. She glared at Sirius, her eyes wide open, filled with disappointment.

“Can you stop acting like a dog that has already given up and drooped? The game isn’t over yet.”

“…I just…”

What excuse can he make? At the thought of worrying about her, he was speechless because he did not believe even for a moment in Europa, who had been following her movements well until now.

Sighing at that sight, Shaula began to watch the two fight again, not paying attention to him.

“All right. Just trust Miss Europa. You taught me that little while and gave me that big sword. Then what are you worried about?”

She had nothing to say even with her ten mouths at her words. It is the servant’s job to trust the master at any time, but he was just anxious about what might happen in the future he saw.

“I see. I was worrying for nothing.”

As soon as he took off the thing that was bothering him, Chaehan watched the fight between the two, feeling at ease. The big picture of the fight between the two hasn’t changed, but there have been some changes.

Compared to Europa, who moved minimally to defend against the trail of the approaching spear, Nepheli, who swung her spear with great movement, was gradually slowing down.

Unlike Nefeli, who always fought short-term battles in her family, Europa trained with Sirius and fought long-term battles. The two different paces started to roll the snowball.

Europe, who caught the movement slower than before, used the wide blade of the sword to block only her vital points and charged. Seeing her suddenly running towards her, her panicked Neferi brandished her spear with her harp.

The trail of the spear, which was slower and weaker than before, was just a long pole in front of Europa’s sword. When he created an opening by striking the trajectory coming towards him, he hit Neferi’s side with the wide blade.

Nefeli retrieved the spear and flew vigorously without a chance to block it. After bouncing on her floor a few times, she lay face down, letting go of her spear in the aftermath of her impact.

At first, he obviously had an overwhelming advantage, but now he is lying face down on the ground covered in dirt. Had Europa been slashed with a blade other than the blade, his loin would have been amputated. A chill went down Nefeli’s spine when she realized that reality.

Various experiences, unyielding tenacity under any circumstances, accurate judgment and tenacity to back everything brought Europa to victory.

Europe trudges towards Nepheli who is lying face down. Her clothes were torn in places by Neferi’s spear, and several wounds on her cheeks were dripping with red blood.

Unlike the red blood, the creepy blue eyes were only looking at Nefeli. As she dragged her sword with one hand, she looked like an executioner, probably because of the thick sham sword.

“…What did she say earlier? Did she say a turtle? So you said to give the Taurus to someone else?”

“That…That’s…”

Nepheli managed to get himself up by grabbing a fallen spear and leaning on it like a staff. Looking at the blue-eyed executioner, my legs trembled. Before the duel, she didn’t have a confident look. She was overcome by the overwhelming feeling that radiated from Europa’s body.

“…Was lost…”

Leaning on her spear, she bowed gracefully and paid her respects to her. In that act, Europa, who thrust her sword into the ground, put her hand under her bowed head to shake her hand.

“It was fun. Now I want to refrain from harsh words and clear up some misunderstandings. Is that okay?”

She’s already lost her temper while fighting Nefeli. Because that last swing took all her stress away. She wanted to clear up the misunderstanding and make sure it never happened again.

“Yes… Yes…”

Nefeli accepting her handshake with her trembling hands. Her daring, she herself, her dejection and stupidity at what she had done so far burst forth, and her tears fell on her hands drop by drop.

“So my uncle was the first to swear at me like that?”

“Yes, I have a book here. Would you like to read it?”

Nefeli, who received the book Sirius brought, was shocked to learn about her. Her hand as she held the book trembled as if she had never heard of such a thing.

“This…I didn’t expect it to come out in such detail…And he came and apologized and even paid compensation…I didn’t know it after hearing my uncle…”

“I only listened to one side, so that’s okay. I’ll get William back later and make him apologize again.”

“Oh, no! It’s okay! I didn’t know the truth and said so harshly to Miss Europa and took up her precious time, so I should apologize…”

A dog with a tail completely down, no, Neferi has become a sheep. When she knew the truth and how stupid she had been, her face flushed and she covered it with a book.

“Haa…I’m really sorry…I didn’t even know that…”

Europa, Sirius, and Shaula, who were watching her, smiled and shrugged her shoulders. Said Europa, putting her on the shoulder.

“People can misunderstand. It’s okay. And you didn’t even use honorifics for me. Please speak comfortably.”

“How could I do that to Ms. Europa…Ah, I’m so ashamed I’m going crazy…”

“Well, people can do that. I also asked Miss Europa for Sirius on the first day.”

“Shaula, wasn’t that a dark history?”

“People change only when they accept the dark history with confidence. Even if the blanket is tight, you have to move forward.”

There was no shame in Shaulla’s face, with her breasts proudly pinned. She was showing a soulless laugh as if Sirius and Europa were dumbfounded at her absurd self-confidence.

“Well, it could be. More than that, lady, it looks like it’s just bought, but it’s already tattered.”

Sirius, who applied her potion to her wound and wrapped her bandage, looked at the clothes she was wearing and said. Before she went to the academy, she bought clothes to wear comfortably. At his words, Neferi made her tremble.

“Ho…Was it your favorite clothes?”

“No, it’s just something I wanted to wear comfortably. I’m here to fight you, so I’m wearing this. Um… Shall we go to the capital to buy some clothes later?”

She looked at Sirius. Sirius, who had applied the potion to the wound on his arm, swallowed his saliva and nodded his head.

“I think I’ll be able to go home without having to go through curfew. I don’t know if the lady is tired of vanity and buys a lot of clothes…”

“Somebody’s got vanity, like a bad butler.”

The playful atmosphere the two always had. Seeing that, Shaula was holding her nose for some reason. Nefeli seemed to have adapted a little now, and she smiled involuntarily at the sight of the three of them.

“Tell me about the clothes later. I’ll buy you one.”

“I told you not to use honorifics. That’s right, Shaulado doesn’t have to use honorifics with me anymore.”

At her words, Nefeli nodded her head, but Shaula shook her head.

“No, I’m comfortable with this. I guess it can’t be helped because I’ve always treated people with respect.”

“…Okay, do as you please. I’ll go to the capital now, see you next time.”

“Oh, yes… Not yes, see you next week.”

When Neferi finally smiled brightly, Europa smiled as if she was relieved. The two of them leave the gym like that. I was walking toward the dormitory under the sunlight that was slowly starting to set.

“…The wish you spoke of.”

“Yes, please.”

Europe, who was ahead of Sirius’ answer, turned around and faced him. Sirius was able to predict what the little girl would wish for. Wherever we went to play together, she had a simple thought of asking me to buy a new product.

“…Kiss my cheek.”

“…Yes?”

My expression wrinkled at the unexpected wish. Not anywhere else, but on the way?

“Quickly, it’s a wish, but won’t you do it? There’s no one there?”

He looked around and found that the academy was empty. Even so, a cold sweat was flowing from the anxiety.

“Why are you… Kissing me on the cheek?”

“…”

‘That’s because I did it to you last time.’

He wanted to tell the truth, but he couldn’t get it out. Who would say that he kissed a sleeping person on the cheek?

“We did it once before. And it’s just a simple kiss. Can’t you do that too? Now you’re talking about something else. Bad butler.”

“Ahh! Okay…I’ll do it quickly, so please…Hold out the cheek…”

“Don’t pull it off for 3 seconds!”

He additionally flaunted the childishness he did when he was younger. His face flushed, but it was a joke because he thought he would not receive it now or later. Sirius sighed as if he had a headache.

“Ha…I’ll go…”

“…Yes, please come.”

Sirius’s slightly rough lips touched Europa’s soft left cheek. One second equals one minute, one minute equals one hour. After three seconds, short but long for the two of them, Sirius opened his mouth.

“…Are you okay?”

“…Uh…Enough…That’s…”

Two people with red faces. Sirius, whom she thought no one would see, and when she kissed him, and Europa, felt that it was different from the kiss she had received as a child. The two remained silent for a moment.

“…Then… Shall we go?”

“…Let’s go…We won’t be able to go to the capital like this.”

Europa caressing his cheek and Sirius scratching the back of his neck hurriedly moved. Only footsteps echoed between the two.

After that, two people, Shaulla and Nefeli, who were going from afar on the same road toward the dormitory, stopped in her seat as blood poured from Shaulla’s nose.

“Are you okay Miss Shaulla? Her nose seems to be bleeding…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s just that it pours out from time to time because the body heats up a lot.”

Shaulla’s expression was exceptionally bright as she wiped her flowing blood with her own handkerchief.

It was as bright as the face of an enlightened sage.
