Hanamura House: Claris’s moving event 2

Well, if you asked who was to blame for this incident, then it would be Claris-san without a doubt. I just offered my help in good faith. I already did my job when I protected her from falling down the stairs. You could say that I saved her, right?. Then why is her Highness Ludi keep looking at me with such suspicious-looking gaze?

“Is it true?”

Not only her expression, but the word coming from her mouth is also getting more and more harsher.

“It is!!”

Eh–? She takes a look at Claris’s face. Of course, she is nodding along with my word.

Well, Certainly I did touch their chest and butt before so I understand the reaction but I want you to put a little more trust in me. Unfortunately, I can’t deny that I’m a pervert thought.

“It, it is true.”

Claris-san follows up for me with an extremely sorry face.

“Is that so, Sorry, I apologize for hitting your face.”

Somehow she seems like she is still not convinced but she apologizes and lowers her head.

“It’s nothing, anyone who saw such a scene would misunderstand.”

Well, If I saw a man who was in the pile of woman clothes with a black panty in his hand I would punch the hell out of him too. I didn’t expect to be hit by both Claris-san and Ludi though.

“I am truly sorry……”

Claris-san apologized and deeply bowed her head.

“No, please don’t worry about it.”

When I called out to her, Ludi whispers something into Claris’s ear. She then returns with “It’s nothing like that, probably.” which even I can hear it.

I wonder what they are saying. I can guess it a little but it is certainly not a good thing.

At that time, a knock can be heard from the door.

“Ludi-sama, There is a call from his Majesty……”

It was a timid looking elf dressed as a maid. I was thinking this is how a maid should look like and compare her to Claris-san. Claris-san will definitely look good in a maid outfit, though.

Ludi discuss something with Claris and left the room without paying me any mind.

“……………”

“……………”

The room is dominated by silence.

Well, what should I say? I have worked hard as a member of society but I have never faced this kind of situation before.

Inside the awkward silence, the one who opened her mouth first was Claris.

“I was saved by you so many times now. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask me. That being said, do you have anything in mind?”

I doubt my ears instinctively. Eh, you would really do anything?

Wait, what was I thinking…..I reflectively thinking something inappropriate. She must say it like that because of her lack of common sense.

The thing I want to ask her for, huh…………. I can think of a lot. Let’s choose the thing that is necessary for me. Of course, I am talking about enhancing myself.

“In that case, I have a favor to ask.!”

Surprised by my sudden reply, her body got a little stiff then she nodded with a grave expression.

“Of, of course. I’m already prepared myself.”

I wonder what she prepared herself for?

“……Umm, I don’t quite understand but………….the thing I want to ask of you is just a sword training though”

“…………………..”

Claris-san blinks her eyes twice and raises an ”Aaa” voice.

“Sw, Sword practice is it?”

“Yes, but……..”

Just how far did her imagination go. (Looking to the distance.)

When I thought she was going to scream “Aaaah.!” again, she suddenly got up.

“Th, that’s right. A sword practice, Of course. Firstly, let’s build up your physical strength. Come on, let’s go.”

No, No, Wait a minute.

I seized her who was about to head for the door with Third Hand. Aren’t you a little too nervous?

“Pl, Please wait a minute. Umm, It didn’t really have to be now. In the first place, please look outside the window.”

The sun had sunk and stars have begun floating in the sky. Even if we go running now it would be too dark to train and it is almost dinner time too.

“Don’t worry, I will become the light…!”

“No, what? How?”

“Please leave it to me, it is my specialty.”

“You are not making any sense. Please calm down.”

If this is a manga her eyes would already turn all swirly. In reality, though, her eyes are already darted around in all directions.

“No, I’m calm. I’m okay. Yeah, back in Trefle they even called me the day lantern———“

(TLN: A proverb meaning a person that did not stand out or a useless person like a lantern during the daytime.)

And how is that supposed to do with light? Rather, isn’t that a mockery?

“Heyyy, Ludivine-sama, Ludi-san, please help me!!”

I open the door and call for help. I can’t handle this anymore.

——————————————

Unfortunately, the person that appeared shortly after that was not the one I called for.

“………What’s wrong?”

Hatsumi-neesan who is always expressionless appeared while slightly tilting her head. I don’t know what she was doing but the white coat she is wearing looked like it was scribbled with paint.

“Umm, Claris-san is..”

I haven’t finished my sentence but Nee-san immediately said Ahh and nodded as if she already understand the situation.

“It’s fine. if you leave her alone she will be back to normal by tomorrow.”

Eh, leave her alone? Rather……it take a day?

“……Claris somehow made a big mistake, right? The way she always obsessing over her mistake never change, huh……..Fu fu fu.”

Don’t just go and laugh, please stop her already.

Later, it took the whole fifteen minutes to calm down Claris-san.

She finally settled down, I explained what happened to Nee-san and after that the person I called for appeared before my eyes.

“I’m sorry, I was late. Seem like you were calling for me but………look like you already solved the situation?”

I was about to say “You’re way too late.” but of course, I refrained.

“Yes, it’s already fine now.”

“I see…………”

After Ludi said that, her eyes stopped at Nee-san coat. Nee-san doesn’t seem to care though.

“Well, let’s get back to the topic……..Claris-san tripped on her leg and fell down the stairs, I caught her…but the luggage she was carrying fell on my head, you see.”

“And that luggage happened to be mature underwear, right?”

Her highness Ludi picked on the most hurtful thing while Nee-san understandingly nodded.

“That was really lucky.”

“Yes, definit……..Ludi-san, the magic in your hand!!! Please, that was a joke.”

It’s not really a joke though, my true feeling just leaked out a little.

“Ludi?”

Her brow is making a wrinkle, I have seen her like this in the game before. When it was just a game I felt so happy being coerced and abused by her, but I never thought she would be this scary in real life. There’s still a part of me that felt a little happy though.

“Hii, My apologies your Highness Ludivine.”

She shook her head a little.

“Ludi is fine, I don’t need the honorific. Rather than that, You. You do not really intend to roll over in Claris’s clothes for real, right?”

Oh. seem like due to Nee-san’s word her doubt in me dissipated a little. No, was it because I show her my sincerity?

“There’s no way I would do that, right?”

“Well, yes. But remember this. If you approach us with an ulterior motive…..I will make you regret ever being born.”

She said with a smile that makes a chill runs through my spine. This atmosphere is too scary. Let’s change the subject and talk my way out of this.

I look around for a topic and saw Nee-san’s clothes. Come to think of it, why is Nee-san’s coat covered in paint?

“Of, of course, I don’t have any ulterior motive at all! Spe, speaking of which, what were you doing Nee-san? Are you perhaps in a hurry!?”

If it’s okay, I will go and help Nee-san then I will be able to slip out of this place.

“A little. Actually, Kaa-sama….. She was teaching me how to cook, so I was preparing dinner.”

Hee, I see, cooking, huh…………………Cooking?

My gaze turns to Nee-san’s white coat once again. I don’t remember any occasion where your coat could be covered in fluorescent paint when you are cooking though.

No, wait a minute. There is the possibility that food in this world of Magiero and my previous world are different. At least monster meat was delicious. I have eaten a weirdly colored snack in a foreign country before, even though the outside looks weird but the inside was safe. It would be weird if it wasn’t safe to eat.

Ludi is standing next to me. Let’s try asking her about food in this world. She would probably answer “ What, you don’t even know something like this? Can’t be helped then, I will show you.” it will somehow end up like that, right?

I turn to Ludi to dispel my anxiety. However, her face is pale white while having a forced smile on her face.

She’s done for.

“When I asked Kaa-sama to taste it, she said she got an urgent business and went out…..I still have some left…………how about it?”

Marino-san ran away. She knew she can’t handle it and ran away.

“– —-…..Aa~a~A~Ahh. Sorry, Nee-san. I forgot to buy my school supplies….I am heading out to buy it now.”

I felt her expressionless face… turn a little sad.

“I see…….how about Ludivine-san?”

Ludi jumped when the conversation was directed at her.

“Ee, Umm…..how should I put it.”

The confused Ludi look at my face and smiled like she has some idea then she walked over to my side.

“That’s right, I planned to go shopping with him.!”

Wha–?

“Eh, I never hea—-Ooof.”

Before I could finish, a sharp pain ran through my back. Seem like Ludi strengthen her body and pinch my back.

“Go along with it…….”

She whispered into my ear. This is bad, my vein is popping.

“Ye, Yeah that’s right. Sorry, Nee-san. I will have a taste next time……”

“I see, it can’t be helped then.”

She said so and leave the room looking slightly depressed.

As we watch her back leaving the room, I and Ludi sighed at the same time.
