Chapter 31. The Roslun Countess even at the meal seat invited only Lus pinpointing.
She seemed determined to treat me as a non-existent person.
Right, to her commoners are not people.
For me it was rather better.
Anyway the purpose wasn't building a connection with the Roslun Count house, and the purpose of coming to this castle was separate...
Not that anger doesn't arise though.
While reading a book in Lus's luxurious room, Butcher brought information through the castle's maid.
“West annex?”
“Yes. Originally that was the main castle, and here is the newly built castle but because of symbolism it seems they couldn't demolish.”
“Befitting a family that extremely values titles or bloodlines.”
“Still in summer they often used it. But at some moment entry was banned. They say sounds like someone screaming also come. Suspicious, right?”
“Suspicious.”
“Then shall we go right this evening?”
Then, Lus who finished the meal returned to the room.
It seemed not a story to do in front of young Lus so when signaling with eyes to Butcher, Butcher lowered his head and disappeared.
“Lus. Did you go well?”
Lus hugged me without saying anything.
“...
Don't know. I want to erase everything. To me older sister is the most important... Do we have to do it like this?”
“Anyway it ends in a day or two.”
I patted Lus's back and soothed.
That day for the operation I sent Lus into the bathroom early.
And laid the fluffy Lus on the bed.
When covering the blanket meticulously up to the neck, Lus stared at me.
“...
Is older sister not sleeping?”
“Yeah, older sister has something to do so will sleep a bit later.”
“Then can't I also sleep together with older sister later?”
“Um...”
It seems we'll do something not very good for a young child to see with Butcher...
I thought for a moment and shook my head.
“No. Kids have to sleep early. Look at that. It's already 10 at night. Good kids are time to sleep well.”
“Older sister is also young...”
“Still I'm five years older than you?”
I playfully grabbed the tip of Lus's nose.
“Older sister will sing a lullaby. Let's sleep quickly.”
I patted Lus's body and sang following the lullaby tune I knew in the previous life.
Not long after Lus fell asleep smoothly.
I confirmed several times if Lus is sleeping well then carefully left the room so as not to wake Lus.* * *When Felia left the room, Lucius's eyes opened sparkling.
Lucius looked at the door Felia left for a long time and said.
“...
I'm not a kid.”
Pretended to sleep.
Because Felia will keep guarding beside until he falls asleep.
The later he sleeps, the later Felia also has to start work.
Although not told to him, he could know she came to this castle with some purpose.
Lucius got up from the bed and grabbed the door handle to follow Felia.
But in the end couldn't open the door.
“...
If I go now it will only hinder older sister.”
So that's why older sister didn't take me.
Lucius looked down at his own hand.
A small and tender child's hand was visible.
“I want to grow up quickly.”
Every time seeing the Countess ignoring Felia, he wanted to twist the neck.
I want to grow up quickly and become strong.
I want to be helpful to Felia.
I want to become strong enough that no one can ignore her.
Lucius took his hand off the door handle.
And instead of returning to the bed sat in front of the desk.
Instead of following her, he had to do what he can do now.* * *The west annex overflowed with dignity no less than the main castle we stay in, and the garden was also managed cleanly.
But whether no one staying, only in one room the lights were on.
There were two knights guarding the annex entrance, and the closer the strange howling-like sound was heard.
“Those knights, the skill is quite good.”
Butcher who lifted me whispered.
“Because the youngest brother used the sword well. Probably stationed in case of escaping.”
We went around to the opposite side of the mansion avoiding the knights' eyes.
And saw the scene inside through the window.
Between the loose clothes revealing the chest, the man's left arm revealed was a mess with scars like beast teeth marks.
Sky blue hair reaching the waist and light gray pupils.
The impression like a villain wolf with bad temper even among wolves was exactly like the description seen in the original.
The chain continuing from the wall was firmly fixed to the man's ankle, the length was quite so it seemed not uncomfortable for living.
He drank one bottle of liquor all in an instant, and threw the liquor bottle at the wall.
The bottle hit the wall and made a noisy sound, but the man without even giving a glance that way opened a new liquor bottle.
“...
Madam. Are you really going to take that person?”
“Umm...”
Actually seeing what he does is just a drunk madman...
Still the ability to teach the sword is to the extent the male lead says the best...
Even wanting to give up, thinking of our Lus who will become the strongest swordsman, I couldn't give up easily again.
Right, since came this far, have to throw the bait.
Resolved, I looked back at Butcher and asked.
“...
Butcher. You can win, right?”
Still the most important was safety.
I didn't want to be hit by a blind fist for nothing.
“Don't worry.”
“Good, if something happens have to protect me first?”
“Only Madam I'll really definitely protect. If even a scratch on Madam, I'll be torn hair by the people in that castle and become bald?”
“Reliable.”
I opened the window, and sat astride the windowsill.
And waved my hand to the man and greeted.
“Hello, Logan? Shall we talk a bit?”
At the same time as the greeting, a liquor bottle flew.
Fortunately thanks to Butcher catching with his hand, I wasn't hurt.
Really vicious.
Is it okay to make such a guy Lus's swordsmanship teacher.
If a teacher, not only the teaching skill but also character has to be seen, right...
“What.”
The man, Logan stood up wiping the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
The swaying body was a drunk person no matter who saw.
“Shh. Be quiet. What if causing a commotion and the knights come.”
We crossed the windowsill and entered the room.
The broken glass pieces made a crunching sound breaking under the feet.
“Let's talk a bit. I'll speak directly. No intention of going together with us?”
Logan's eyes flashed.
“You'll take me out?”
“Yeah. But before that there's something to confirm.”
If the swordsmanship is useless, what's the use even taking.
“Butcher.”
“Yes, Madam!”
Butcher pulled me back, and took out two short swords from his bosom.
“Ha. What is this. Taking out was such words?”
Whether misunderstanding the words we said as taking out from this world, Logan's face became vicious.
“For now let's see an interview once. Is there a sword?”
“Would a confined person have!”
Butcher untied the sword worn at the side and threw it to Logan.
Logan received the sword but had a dazed air.
“What. What on earth is your identity to do such a thing to me...”
“That story later, for now let's see the interview first. Butcher!”
At the same time as my call, Butcher charged at Logan.
Clang!
Logan quickly blocked Butcher's sword.
Butcher didn't stop there, and dug into Logan's arms while swinging the sword.
Then Logan completely stepped back escaping Butcher's range, and while turning the body one round blocked Butcher's second sword continuing.
Charrreuk-.
Between the sound of swords clashing, the sound of the chain being dragged mixed.
Despite the state of not free movement, Logan didn't retreat even one step from the place he first settled.
“Damn! This side was in the middle of drinking liquor until a little while ago!”
Saying that, his sword was extremely stable.
If drank liquor, unable to control his own body, but the trajectory his sword draws had no shaking, and the tip of the sword was clear.
There was no flashy technique that catches the gaze, but the straight and blue sword was more beautiful than useless techniques.
I seemed to know the reason the male lead in the original evaluated as clean without excess, and orthodox sword.
A sword at a high realm to the extent even me who doesn't know well admires.
“Madam, this guy is extremely usable?”
Butcher also excited in the fight with a strong one shouted.
“Of course! I'm a person who heard the sound of swordsmanship genius!”
The two people clashed so fast that I couldn't follow with eyes.
Much more excellent skill than vaguely expected.
“Butcher. The interview is enough with this level.”
“Yes, Madam!”
At my order Butcher withdrew the sword without hesitation.
Even though the opponent suddenly disappeared, Logan's sword didn't go further or less, and stopped exactly where his will stopped.
An appearance of completely placing the sword under his own control.
“Is it ending here? Swinging a proper sword is the first in a long time.”
Logan swung the sword in the air whether the heat hasn't cooled yet.
On his face a smile he himself didn't even notice was hanging.
Then, Butcher looked at the shackle hanging on his ankle and asked.
“You... Isn't that a magic power control device?”
“What? Ah, is it now visible.”
Logan said lightly as if nothing.
“Even looking like this the length is quite so it's okay to go around inside here.”
Magic power control device?
The magic power control device was a tool that controls the magic power of magic power users like mages or knights.
Without magic power mages couldn't use magic, and knights couldn't use magic power to increase speed or strengthen the power of the sword etc.
That is, it meant he produced such power and speed using only pure physical strength.‘Come to think of it...’ I scanned him up and down.
The body revealed between the open clothes collar was too well trained to say lived as a wreck for 3 years.
The complexion was also too good to see as an alcoholic.
“You, weren't you a wreck who lost the beloved person?”
At my question, Logan asked back.
“What? Who said such... Damn. Even without seeing it's obvious. The sister-in-law must have said that.”
“What happened how? Is loving the maid a lie?”
Then does it mean the original is wrong?
