Possessed As the Butler of a Defeated Heroine

8 – Tsubasa Hoshizora

The day Kim Hyun-jin was treated to a lunch box by Ohana.

As usual, Hyunjin played at the game center with Ryunosuke and Sojuro, stopped by a bookstore, and went to a cafe.

After that, returning to the mansion was one-sided.

To Amelia’s request to come in a little late today, Hyunjin understands…… I decided to kill time by replying.

Ryunosuke also said that he had to go home early today because he had work to do, and Sojuro also apologized and said that he would not be able to hang out with me due to her personal business.

“Um.”

You told me to come back late, so I know roughly what to do.

“I wonder what happened, Won.”

I don’t know. Should I go to the game center……

Thinking to himself like that, Hyunjin headed for the game center.

“Oh! Look here!”

“Awesome, this woman!!”

“You’re already on a 20-game winning streak?!”

Cheers from the game center.

“Oh…… ?”

Looking closely, it was a familiar game.

Queen of Fighters 99.

It’s a simple game where female characters come out and fight each other, but compared to previous games, it was still a highly popular type of game.

It’s a game that exists in real life, but I would have thought there would be Queen Ofa 99 in the possessed world.

Hyunjin admired inwardly and checked the surroundings.

There were a lot of people in front of the Queen of Fighters 99 game machine.

‘Queen oppa 99’… ….’

It’s been a while. Shall I try it too?

Anyway, the 20-game winning streak seemed to be the right device.

Hyunjin slowly grasped the situation.

“Ouch! I lost again!!”

“Who the hell is the other person!?”

“Who can’t defeat the dark horse!!”

I am a bit confident when it comes to fighting games. It looks fun, and I need to pass the time, so let’s try it.

Hyunjin walked slowly.

On the side of the defeated device, people hardly tried to approach.

You must have been watching the game all the time, so you must have watched enough to see how strong the opponent was.

Good. It’s a good thing to have an empty seat right now.

When Hyunjin sat down, people cheered.

“A new challenger has appeared!”

“Ohh!!”

The other party’s character was a maid character, and Hyunjin chose a typical fighter character.

‘Hmm.’

Let’s start with an all-out war lightly. While holding short checks, he responded in such a way as to get out of the opponent’s attack range as much as possible.

A maid character is a character who uses the sword technique, but rather than the power of the character itself, it is very superior in terms of linkage and range skill judgment.

The fighting character I use is similarly based on forced connection.

Hyunjin thought so and moved the stick.

‘The linking skills are top notch?’

If you get caught wrong once, the blood is cut off by 1/4. Since I came late, I didn’t have time to study the other person, but I thought this was enough.

Contrary to the slack momentum just like before, Hyunjin began to push the opponent fiercely.

“Oh! Finally, the pusher appeared!”

“Did Go Soo appear?”

I don’t pay attention to the noise around me. As a gamer, you should always stay calm.

‘Front Down Down Back Front A Up Down Diagonal Front B!’

Continuing character combos quickly, chain linking in the air at the same time!

[K.O!]

[2P, WINNER!!]

In the first round, Hyunjin won lightly.

“I never thought someone would finally win a game!!”

“Awesome, great!”

People cheered, and the game started again.

The rule of Queen Offa is best of 2. It was enough to win lightly this time, but…… As soon as it started, the opponent’s movement changed.

The compatibility between a fighter and a maid is not good, once the fighter gets a chance, the maid can’t even use his strength.

On the other hand, on the maid side, she was a so-called long-armed character who could keep the opponent in check.

Hyunjin was at a disadvantage from the start.

‘If I can dig in, I will win.’

However, admiration almost jumped out at the opponent’s play, which seldom allowed approach.

However, people don’t know.

Why did Queen Opa 99 fail?

It was the existence of the deceased. And, unfortunately, Hyunjin was such a late figure in ‘Queen of 99’.

A fighting game is a battle of frame catches. No matter how good the character performance is, even if the basic physical is good, half of it is eaten.

Moreover, Hyunjin’s body now is clearly different from before being possessed.

Reaction speed, of course.

[Kyaaak!]

I heard the screams of the maid characters, and the people around me were speechless for a moment.

“What…… ?”

“Did Hakari have such long arms??”

“Isn’t Ashiko a character who will never be defeated in a street fight?”

There is a trick to the martial arts character, Hakari. There is a catching technique that allows you to grab an RBI with twice as long arms through forced connection, but further detailed explanations will be omitted.

“End.”

While muttering to himself, Hyunjin continued to unleash the opponent’s guards and put an end to the game with a super special move.

“Hoo, it was fun.”

After breaking my opponent’s record of 20 consecutive wins, as I was about to get up from my seat, my opponent requested a re-challenge on the screen! A phrase appeared.

“Oh ho?”

Another challenge. Should I change the character this time?

I picked Ashiko, the maid character the other party used.

I picked the character I used, Hakkari.

Meanwhile.

Ed and Amelia were talking to each other at the Lionheart Mansion before Hyunjin had a good time at the game center.

“Ed, what do you think of this video?”

“Hmm.”

What Amelia showed Ed was today’s lunch, a scene where Kamiyama Ohana gave Hyunjin a lunchbox.

“If you look closely, it’s a strangely happy expression, right? Ugh…… ! I can’t accept…… ! You’re smiling like that at someone other than me…… !”

Ed felt happy seeing Amelia like that.

When did my young lady grow up like this…… Do.

She was like a child just the other day, and now is the time for her to think and act?

So, Ed’s heart was swelling.

He opened his mouth, showing his will to express his thoughts as much as possible for the lady.

“Come to think of it, young lady. Do you know what Hyunjin usually eats at school?”

“…… Aren’t you doing well on your own?”

“Well, you are misunderstanding something. It seems that Hyunjin ate bread at the canteen every day. Did you know?”

“Bread…… ? Bread?!”

“Yes, lady.”

“Why! Such a thing! You mean it could be?!”

Amelia asked Ed with a look of indignation.

“I talked about lunch boxes through other employees, but Hyunjin refused. He said it would be right to do that for the sake of pretending to be a normal student.”

“Ugh, uggggg…” … !!”

It shouldn’t be like this. If I had known that I would have fun with a homemade lunch box like that, I would have tried it myself.

“Good! Ed, ask the kitchen to prepare the ingredients right away!”

“Yes?”

“If you are happy with the common people’s meals, is there anything I can’t do?”

“I will, but the lady cooks herself…” … “

Ed was worried for a moment.

She thought that the master she served, she had a good understanding of the character of Amelia Iori Lionheart.

However, the other day, she had the idea that she had become difficult to control because of Kim Hyun-jin, a boy Amelia had picked up.

Is it right to say this honestly, or if it’s not, whether to cheer quietly.

However, you must respect the owner here. At the same time, in order to prevent the owner from getting hurt, it would be better to have a cooking teacher attached.

After thinking up to that point, Ed opened his mouth again.

“I will tell her to return to her mansion at once.”

As if Ed had mentioned who she was, Amelia shrugged her shoulders and said as if to show off her presence.

“Hmph, Ed! Don’t you believe me? I, Amelia Iori Lionheart, are confident enough in cooking?!”

“But, lady. Cooking is about using cutlery. If the lady gets hurt…… !”

Did Ed’s worries reach Amelia? Amelia answered Ed in a resolute tone.

“Hmm, after listening to it, that part is also problematic. Good point, Ed. But it is something I have to accomplish on my own, this.”

“Is that so… ….”

Ed, who had served as a butler in the Lionheart family for many years, fully remembered that Amelia was always a bright child.

Because of her stubbornness in this aspect of her, Ed, thinking that she couldn’t take it anymore, told her to come back, which she had quietly mentioned. She did not tell Amelia that she had called.

***

After winning about 10 games in a row, I was able to leave.

Because the credits didn’t continue as if the other side had given up.

As a gamer, I didn’t tolerate losing my soul, so I ended up playing the game really hard.

‘Still, he was a very difficult opponent.’

I thought it was pretty good, but there were several situations where I almost lost if I made a mistake.

I was curious about who the other person was, so I went straight back to the other side to say good-bye.

What happened from the seat on the other side of the game console was a mysterious woman.

But the outfit was unique.

‘Huh? Hoshizora High School’s uniform…… ?’

More than anything else, I could feel the friendliness in the style. I only saw the back view.

Slightly tidy, loose silver hair, a woman with a sense of dignity even in her gait.

She must have felt my gaze on that side as well, so she turned her head and spoke to her first.

“Do you have something to say?”

Turning her head and looking at me, the woman spoke her words.

…… Now I know for sure who it is.

I remember her as a character from Two Love X Lady.

To Love X Lady’s sub-heroine, Tsubasa Hoshizora. She belongs to class 2 A.

True to her name, she is the daughter of the president of Hoshizora High School, and she held the position of student council president.

A girl with a perfectionist personality to the point of being thorough. Behind the scenes, she remembers her hobby as relieving daily stress at the game center.

She thinks she hates losing more than anything else, but she’s hiding her feelings now.

“Oh, yes. Because you are good at games.”

“You show a laid-back attitude to opponents who haven’t won a game…… ?”

Tsubasa must have heard my words being sarcastic, so she opened her mouth while staring at me.

“I am not being sarcastic. I almost lost.”

“…… Is that so?”

Seeing Tsubasa’s reaction, I felt like an otaku would burst out laughing. A girl who pursues perfection from beginning to end is emotionally upset by being defeated by me.

The point is that you are showing that you are not like that.

This is unbearable, isn’t it?

But I also thoroughly learned to control my emotions through 3 months of training.

I looked at her out of the corner of my eye. There was definitely a hint of resentment. It’s obvious what you’re paying attention to.

‘I can see it, I can see it!’

Aren’t you already shaking a bit? I hate to admit it, but if you really did, you’d have already argued with me.

I lost miserably with my skills. That’s probably why she’s keeping her composure.

It’s not like I won by shovel.

What…… Her first encounter wasn’t very good, but Tsubasa still has a strong fighting spirit.

Because I could see him trembling.

The temperament of a winner. She’s someone who hates losing more than death, so she’ll probably grunt when she gets home.

I’m going to think about why I lost 10 times in a row.

That kind of look is definitely cute, or if you look at it from the perspective of a love comedy, isn’t it a very plus factor?

“By the way, senpai…… Are you Judging by the color of the nameplate, I think it is.”

Let’s act skillfully, Tsubasa snapped.

“I don’t know if there is a need to consider seniors and juniors among gamers. What does that matter?”

Ah, I’m angry. This never pissed me off.

But desperately showing a respectful attitude in order not to show anger is really cute.

“But, it would be nice to know that she is a senior. Good luck in the future, Hoshizora…… Senior?”

When she said in a tone of thanks, Tsubasa glanced me up and down for a moment, then stared into her eyes for about three seconds before she sighed and said:

“…… After all, it doesn’t seem like a lie. Enough then. Excuse me first.”

After bowing in this direction in a shrill tone, she turned her back on me and quickly disappeared.

“Anyway, I never thought I would meet the student council president here…… “

Still, I thought we’d see each other after half a year. She did not know that they would meet unexpectedly soon.

She disappeared so quickly, she probably noticed that she was in the same school uniform and ran away from her.

Hoshizora High School has a color on its name tag, but it didn’t seem to pay much attention after seeing that it was a freshman.

‘It’s an event Ryunosuke should have gone through.’

In fact, the setting is that Ryunosuke Natsuki is good at playing games. When he stopped by the game center with him, his skill level was pretty much the same as mine.

Suddenly, I had a thought.

I wondered how about improving Tsubasa’s gaming skills and playing against Ryunosuke.

This is a story that requires the assumption that I became close with Tsubasa.

“Oops, it’s already this time.”

I have to go back to Lionheart Mansion. If it’s too late, that’s just as difficult.
