13 – reject-5

Contrary to my expectations that something more might happen, the archer did nothing to me.

He didn’t openly insult me by showing his wounds, and he didn’t ask for medical expenses or compensation.

I didn’t think she would be so easily passed on, but I didn’t want to meet her first.

And, it wasn’t a situation where I had enough room in my heart to care about such a woman right now.

“Now, eat! It’s strawberry cake!”

“That bites me a bit.”

A silver-haired maid was sitting next to me. Taking a small bite of the white cake with a fork, she looked at me and smiled brightly.

“Ah, do it. Ah!”

“Do I really have to do this?”

I was very nervous, but I was sorry to keep her waiting while I was doing this.

“ah.”

I opened my mouth slightly and swallowed the cake she gave me. The sweet sugar and soft cream burrowed into the body on the tongue.

“Delicious? Delicious? Sweet? Lovely? Want to cuddle?”

“I thought of it after eating it, but where the hell did you get this?”

At first, I thought it was a gift prepared by the maid herself, but the quality of the food was too high.

Surprisingly, the food in this world, to be precise, the food in the imperial palace was not that far behind that of Earth.

There were times when it didn’t suit my taste, but I couldn’t help but admire the deep flavor and soft scent.

However, it was the pleasure of the tongue that made people grind like a millstone. It wasn’t a dessert that a maid could make alone.

“There are chefs here who are in charge of the Emperor’s meals, but there are also chefs who cook for other members of the imperial family and for distinguished guests!”

“No, can I just roll someone like that?”

I didn’t ask because I didn’t know that.

“It’s just rolling! Baron Leodrin is definitely a royal guest! Dedicating dessert to such a person can’t be just rolling, right?”

“Anyway, you made it…”

“Ah, wouldn’t it be nice if you enjoyed it?”

The maid leaned towards me. The soft scent that I felt in an instant made my head feel a little dizzy.

“And, the chefs in the imperial palace came here because they love cooking. If not here, when else would you cook with these ingredients?”

“Well, then I don’t have anything to say…”

“Your hands are resting! You’re not ignoring Hans’ dessert, which is filled with passion and effort, right?”

taste was there. The taste was there, but I couldn’t get my hands on it.

“Um, don’t you like sweets?”

“Just… because of the strawberry.”

“Strawberries? What about strawberries?”

“So…”

Come to think of it, the fact that I was a porter was itself a secret.

Any savvy person or soldier who watched me being put in would have known, but officially I was the heir to the Leodrin family and the unknown.

The ‘porter’ was a different person.

So, I couldn’t even tell others about the story of the trip.

There may be no reason for me to keep my promise to them now, but I still didn’t want to cancel what I said ‘nothing happened’.

“Oh, I know!”

“how?”

“I’m a maid who serves the baron. Of course!”

If I had to argue, I would have to see her as a maid who treats guests in the imperial family rather than someone who serves me, but I didn’t want to break my confident smile.

“Well, there were times when I couldn’t find anything to eat during the adventure, so there were times when I would starve. There were times when a normal land suddenly turned into a wasteland…”

“So what?”

Like everyone else, for the maid, the adventure must have stimulated curiosity just by being there.

“It’s not a big deal, I haven’t eaten properly for several days. I went into a forest occupied by demons, but because of demons, other animals and plants were in a state of inedibility. But the wild berries living there were sacred… so I only ate those. It was a possible situation.”

“Oops!”

“Well, other people were able to eat other foods well, but I couldn’t copy them.”

Still, I didn’t like it. couldn’t like it

“Protect the stomach from demons with the might of a hero or the prayers of a saint… something like that.”

Watching the party members enjoying an exciting meal from afar, it was not a good feeling to starve.

It was not unreasonable. If I had to argue, this world was originally unreasonable, and defeating the Demon King would be unreasonable.

At least, each of them explained to me how they ate their food, and I accepted it, all of which were powers I couldn’t use.

At least it was better than the ‘smell’ problem of an archer whose standard was unknown, or the test of a warrior whose standard was floating high in the sky.

It’s just that I feel bad alone and I’m hungry alone.

“I was starving, so I found a cluster of raspberries and ate them until they were stuffed.”

“You must have…”

It may be unfounded, but this maid is suspicious. The eyes are a bit strange.

“Anyway, I’m sure that sacred raspberry wasn’t imbued with Magi, so I didn’t die immediately after eating it. I just ate it until I got sick of it.”

“Uh, then won’t you like it? You’ll be eating the food you’ve been looking for for a long time… just remember…”

“Well, at that time I ate too much and got tired of it. Even thinking about it, I ate a little too much.”

“Ah, so… you don’t like strawberries. This is a mistake.”

The maid took a big bite of the white cake. However, her expression looked very dissatisfied.

“Ugh, it was a perfect plan… what the hell is wrong with it.”

“In the first place, is it necessary for you to do this to me?”

Hearing my words, the maid flinched for a moment, then touched my knee again with a delicate expression.

“Well, yes. Baron, what do you think is the reason I’m doing this?”

The maid’s brilliant silver hair fluttered and bounced lightly. It was exaggerated and light movements, as if they were doing ballet.

“Actually! I’m not an ordinary maid!”

“…okay.”

I just nodded my head without any reaction.

Well, it wouldn’t be anything special when it comes to the secret she’s hiding.

On a smaller scale, it would be a woman trying to get ahead by seducing me who looks like a noble, and at most a spy for another kingdom, a noble, or the emperor.

“Don’t be surprised and listen, I was actually… a maid who came down from heaven to this earth for the baron! I was a maid only for the baron!”

“You belong to the imperial palace.”

“This is actually just an undercover status! Just give me an order, and I’ll be right back to my job!”

I couldn’t keep up with her exhilarating energy. I just watched her chattering happily, letting out a bloody laugh.

“Well, thank you… but it’s meaningless. I’m leaving soon.”

“Oh, that’s right. You’re going to… leave.”

The maid seemed to have gotten a little depressed, and lowered her head.

She didn’t do anything wrong to me. However, I hated the whole world.

Still, it was a bit disappointing. I thought I was pretending to laugh, but it was fun to see that maid-like beauty react to me.

Still, it wasn’t something I expected to live out the rest of my life here.

The magician had to continue doing contradictory things.

Generally, they are not of a character worthy of wielding power. There were often those who learned magic to improve their status, but magic was ineffective for them.

If you train martial arts with that effort, you can become a famous knight, and if you learn finance, you can easily earn a living as a bureaucrat. If you pray to God, you will find honor and peace of mind.

But the wizards were bottomless. Even if they really gave their all to magic, it happened invariably that they didn’t receive even the slightest reward.

So, high-ranking mages are crazy about something, they train and train again, they are not good at politics or social skills.

Their political influence was forged by their sorcery, and the sociability had to be re-learned in order to win royal support.

But, again, it wasn’t their specialty.

They created an organization by selecting the most unsociable people who do not particularly understand emotions, but the head of the organization must understand human emotions countless times. It was a contradiction.

Farseer was watching various events while reflecting himself on a huge well bent vertically.

It’s an apology. First of all, I must apologize. Even after making up her mind, the reason she couldn’t move easily was because of the pressure to handle this apology carefully.

Unfortunately, she doesn’t know what she did wrong about him. can’t remember

If the opponent is someone who has values that don’t need to be remembered, erase that memory without hesitation. In the first place, I think about something and don’t even deal with those people.

She was so crowded that she had to ruminate on her memories while bringing in these assistive devices.

“I didn’t do anything wrong… I hope it doesn’t…”

She was taken aback when she heard that the porter was a hero, but as time passed, a complacent hypothesis also occupied a corner of Farseer’s head.

If he is angry in the first place. Whatever had happened in the first place would have exploded. It is possible that Farseer provoked him to apologize and make the situation worse.

It was too small. His reflection in her memory was so small that he couldn’t tell whether he was angry, sad, or depressed.

Farseer stood in front of the vertical well all night and watched him. No information was found.
