Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

6 – Midsummer (4)

Late at night, the butler’s pen was moving over the papers in a neat trajectory. The material of the luxurious pen stood out.

“So you went to Seonggwang Church with the lady?”

The butler’s eyes, wearing glasses, looked exceptionally fierce. Since the lady asked to go with her, of course it was natural to tell the butler, but why did she look so scared? I unknowingly swallowed my dry saliva.

“Yes, I am.”

“Let’s go together after breakfast in the morning. Training will start in the afternoon.”

He stopped moving his pen and put his glasses in his pocket. He said that the head of the house would accompany him when he went out with the young lady after the last incident.

I asked a question as I saw the head of the house tidying up the office as if the paperwork had just finished.

“Do you have anything else to prepare before training?”

“There is nothing specific, so just prepare your body and come.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Sirius”

He stopped me when I turned around to go to the office.

“Be strong. The path you have chosen will be more difficult than the thorny path.”

A voice as solemn and heavy as I heard in the basement of the mansion. Are you saying it’s not too late now?

But I have already decided which way to go.

“Don’t worry. It’s the path I chose.”

I replied with a smile that I often show to the lady.

“Whoa…Yeah, got it.”

Contrary to his heavy voice, he was the butler who sighed in vain and answered. Then he smiled awkwardly and opened his mouth.

“Sleep in the lady’s room today. The Count is looking at her condition and the lady is using her in a crowd… hehehe.”

“…Yes?”

I have never slept in a bed, even though I have gone into the room a lot to attend to the lady. The other day, when I sat down to soothe the lady, I wondered if I could sleep on a huge cushion unlike my bed.

“What you heard is right. Can you tell me exactly? The lady said, ‘I’m going to sleep with Sirius in my room!’ He shouted, and the Count and I ran out of the room as if being chased.”

Wow! The sound of something breaking came from the side. The Count is still in his office…

“…Then let’s go…”

“Go ahead.”

He sent me off while shaking his hand. I hurried to my room to avoid eye contact with the Count.

“Sirius.”

Thick voice. I moved my neck stiffly like an unoiled machine. Ah, is it because of my mood that the large appearance looks distracted today?

“Meet the Count.”

I couldn’t find the kind eyes he showed when I met his wife the other day. My instincts alerted me to the terrifying eyes.

“…”

“…”

That…Could you say something?

“Please take care of my daughter. She will talk a lot in her sleep.”

No, not at all. You sleep quietly in my arms like a doll…

“I’ll take it.”

“…Yes…I’ll take it…”

Looking at the count, who was crying for some reason as he turned his head away, he told his daughter, ‘I told you not to wash with Daddy’s laundry! It stinks!’ It was like seeing a father coming out of a subculture.

“Yeah…Go see…”

The count’s back as he entered the office again with a gloomy expression was just his daughter’s foolish father. How can such a person change so drastically after his wife’s death?

I hurriedly headed to my room after a conversation with the Count that seemed to be suffocating. All the clothes that were wet were dried, and the clothes that were stained with blood were put in the laundry basket. The only clothes left now are the pajamas I wear when I sleep and the clothes I am wearing right now.

“Should I ask the butler to get me some clothes…”

Anyway, it’s a growing season, so I have to change my clothes quickly. If I get it in a large size in advance, it will fit later, so I should ask for one in a larger size.

I changed into my pajamas and went to the ladies’ room when I bumped into Christine.

“Oh, cute pajamas. Where are you going in those?”

Christine, who is always nice to me, saw my outfit and covered his mouth to hide his laughter. I didn’t want to go like this, but I thought that the lady came to my room every day like pajamas, so I put up with it.

“I’m going because the lady asked to sleep with me.”

“Oh, oh my. What’s going on in the world?”

Christine laughed bashfully and slapped me on the back. Compared to the other people who hit me on the back, I was weak, so I was able to endure it to some extent.

Compared to Mr. Gliese…

Oh damn. I swallowed my gloom and forced myself to smile at Christine.

“The lady is anxious, and since you called, we have to go. That’s why we are Taurus servants.”

“…Do you…”

“Yes. Christine knows that.”

As if Christine had noticed, the atmosphere changed. His eyes, full of bewilderment, moved back and forth, and his mouth, as if hesitating about what to say, put his lips together, then parted them, then opened his mouth.

“Did you…Do that assignment?”

“Of course.”

“Oh my God…”

Christine looks shocked and can’t keep her mouth shut. I’ll get worms in her mouth…

“I’ll go anyway. The lady is waiting for you.”

“Uh, ah yes. Okay, good bye and see you tomorrow~!”

I stood in front of the lady’s door with Christine, who quickly became brighter, behind her. Passers-by laughed at my cute pajamas, but I didn’t care.

As always, I gave my name with a knock.

“My lady, this is Sirius.”

“Sirius!”

With the door suddenly open, a lady jumped out and threw herself. She hurriedly grabbed her body and put her on the ground.

“It’s dangerous, ma’am.”

“Sirius caught it. What’s dangerous?”

“If I didn’t catch you, you’d be seriously hurt, my lady.”

“I hope you don’t get hurt!”

A lady who is exceptionally excited today. Was it because I slept in the lady’s room? After the funeral, seeing him so energetic that I wondered if he was someone who had been depressed made me feel at ease.

“Come on, let’s go inside, lady.”

“Good!”

I pushed the lady’s back into a dark room lit with only a small candle. Today, she was wearing a light one-piece pajama instead of the usual top and bottom pajamas.

“hehehe I love Sirius!”

“Yes, yes I like you too, ma’am.”

At times like this, you have to give a shout out so you don’t get angry. The moment I make a mistake, I’ll probably bring it up every time I feel sad while I’m by your side.

“Come on, get down on the bed!”

I knew that the young lady would invite me to sleep while playing with her. Tomorrow the sun may rise in the west.

As the lady said, I spread her arms on the bed so that she could lie on top of me comfortably, and she lay down on top of me. It’s something I always do, so now I would feel empty without the young lady.

“hehehe, Sirius”

“Yes, lady.”

“I’ll try to sleep without Sirius in the future.”

“Lady?”

Seeing the young lady with a determined expression on her face made her heart ache. Was she thinking the same as me? A child like this doesn’t need to have such a thing.

Unknowingly, the young lady’s hair was stroking her hair. Like petting a dog’s fur.

“Ahahahaha, it tickles me~ So you know. I asked Sirius and I to sleep together in my room for the last time today.”

“So that’s what you said.”

“Yeah, you can’t be coddled with Sirius forever… Roland said that even if you like it, you’ll become an adult if you put up with it…”

Be unique. And Mr. Roland, thank you.

“That’s a good idea. It was kind of hard to move to the lady’s room every day.”

“…Was it difficult?”

Seeing my young lady crying, I can’t even joke.

“No, I’m just kidding.”

“Oh what! Stupid Sirius!”

With the sound of an idiot I haven’t heard in a long time, he randomly beat my chest. Still, it didn’t hurt as if I was finally able to control my strength.

The girl stopped beating and made eye contact. Her eyes, illuminated by the candlelight, looked deep today.

“Every morning, when I wake up in my room, not in Sirius’s room, I suddenly have that thought. What if Sirius suddenly disappears forever?”

After catching her breath, she continued her speech.

“Gliese left this morning…I was scared…What if Sirius left like Gliese? But even if Sirius disappeared one day, I should be able to live without any problems… So, from now on, I will try…”

In this room lit only by a small candle in the darkness, I could see the young lady’s bright smile as she forced herself to cry.

I couldn’t face the lady because of my heartbreaking heart. The moment she turned her head, the touch of her lips came to her left cheek.

“Sirius. I really like it. hehehe”

She was embarrassed and she quickly pulled herself up. Blue eyes shining in the dark were watching me.

“Now, do the same for Sirius.”

“Oh, miss?”

“Quickly!”

Well, I accepted her request thinking that there would be no problem since it was a family affair and a greeting to a close person.

Her soft cheeks touched my lips. Molkan Street was surprised by her touch and hurriedly parted her lips.

“hehehe, let’s go to bed now. We have to go to church tomorrow.”

The young lady was smiling as if nothing had happened. Yeah, that’s enough

“Yes, yes, yes. Good night.”

“Okay, good night.”

As usual, he lay down on my arms and slept. Perhaps it was because I was mentally exhausted as well, but she fell asleep right after she went to bed.

After a light meal in the morning, we headed to Seonggwang Church. It was a short distance from the mansion, but as you said yesterday, the butler accompanied me.

“We welcome Lady Taurus and her party to the Pleiades branch of the Holy Gwang Church.”

The appearance of the Cathedral Church, greeted by nuns in black nun’s uniforms, was no different from an ordinary church or cathedral. The difference is that instead of a cross, there is a twelve-pointed star-shaped object.

“Why did the Taurus family visit our cathedral church?

An elderly-looking man with rust-colored hair with patches of gray hair asked us. He appeared to be the priest of the Pleiades branch.

“Um…Would you like to pray to the stars?”

“hahahahaha, you don’t have to pray to the stars in our cathedral. The stars will always be watching and listening to us.”

“Hmm…Then can we find out how old Sirius is?”

“Aha, if that’s the case, it’s our church’s job.”

A bride with a benevolent expression. He stared at me and stroked my hair.

People here seem to really like having their hair stroked. And I am also a person here. Because he strokes the girl’s head whenever he has a chance.

“Stars watching over the world, answer my call.”

I wonder if the bride’s eyes twinkled for a moment because of her mood. After saying that, the priest put his hand on my head and just stood still.

Are you talking to the stars? I was amazed at the first sight I saw. The young lady was also looking at me and the bride with a curious and excited look on her face.

3 Minutes passed, the priest removed his hand from my hair and stroked his chin as if in trouble. Is something going on?

“All the stars say they can’t answer… Ha ha, this is the first time in 30 years as a bride…”

“What have you done to Sirius stars!”

You ask me with glazed eyes.

I don’t know!

“Oh, I didn’t do anything! Maybe…”

“Hmm, Father Marcel. Is it possible to have a conversation with Stella, the god of starlight?”

The owner of the house suggested another way, but the priest named Marcel shook his head as soon as he heard it.

“It’s kind of tough. As a priest, I’m at my limit when it comes to talking to the stars. You’re sure to go to the church in the imperial capital to talk to Stella.”

“As expected, are you a saint?”

“That’s the way it is. It might be difficult since you’ve been hidden from the capital church for the past seven years…”

The butler swallows saliva at Father Marcel’s answer. It must have been difficult to meet the saintess. Apart from that, the lady had a lot of complaints.

“I wonder how old Sirius is, but the stars didn’t tell me!”

“hahahaha…What’s the point of my age. Being next to a lady is important.”

“That’s right! It’s important that Sirius is by your side!”

My young lady whose face is as red as a carrot. Why?

“Heh heh…”

“hahahahaha. It looks better than it looks, Sirius.”

The butler laughed as if he was dejected, and the priest said it was quite good.

Why not? The butler should be by his side. Where is he?

In the end, I ended up not knowing my age, but I got some pretty interesting knowledge from talking with Father Marcel and his church members.

People are born with a zodiac sign, and among them, only those with a zodiac sign can become priests of the Holy Church.

The Twelve Pillars of the Empire are born under a natural constellation, and the Taurus family is said to also inherit Taurus.

I was curious about the names of the constellations, so I asked if I could see them, and he showed them to me.

Among the eighty-eight constellations, I couldn’t see the names of famous heroes like Perseus, Heracles, or Orion. Because of this, I realized that it was definitely a different world.

Is that why constellations give you so much power? It was either right or wrong. It is said that the twelve zodiacal palaces, or the twelve pillars, are only powerful, but each person is different.

Father Marcel answered that the stars did not answer, as it seems to be the case that all people have constellations, but in my case there is no constellation.

I sent a letter to the saintess in the capital to find out, so she promised to contact me next time.

She returned to the mansion and said that she would go to the lady for training.

“Yes! Cheer up, Sirius!”

I hugged him tightly and quickly ran to his room.

“…Be careful. There are many eyes in the mansion.”

“Because I’m not careful…”

“Uh huh.”

The butler seems disapproving and scolds him briefly.

Yes, it’s all my fault…
