’So, number one, how long do you think it will take?’
’Honestly, it’s hard to calculate, it’s uncertain and it could extend beyond the week we had planned, but I’ll try to make it before the end of the week if it’s possible.’
’Haaa~. Well, it better be nothing. Just let know. I thought I wouldn’t have to use you, but it seems that things are more difficult here, and in the end, it seems that you’ll be needed.’
’Hey, stop making sound like a disposable tool, you know I got carried away, because I thought, what I was doing wasn’t necessary, luckily things turned out well.’
’...Whatever, try hard. Also, tell if there’s any extra force not from the realm, soone comparable to Akihara.’
’Yes, I was already doing that.’
The reason I’m asking and I don’t know exactly Number One’s situation is that I basically felt that I couldn’t concentrate on this if I looked at what he was doing being in a war.
I knew it wasn’t a pleasant thing, having experienced it for a short period before. So whenever his mories co to , I throw them into a corner without paying attention to them.
Although in the end it is useless, since, as it is a lived experience, when the parallel thinking is fully integrated into again or I deactivate the skill, I will simply know everything, whether I like it or not it is sothing I am living in that doppelgänger.
But For now, just as they should have ignored while I was doing it with Akihara (which they didn’t), I ignore what Number One is doing, who, honestly, is the busiest of all and the one who is most on the edge of dying at any mont.
Things aren’t as easy, as I originally thought, but I already had a lot of things in gear, just in case and the Number One task, which lately I thought wouldn’t be necessary, cos back into play.
Well, saying that, I went back to Akihara’s room. Without any qualms, I cleaned up the ss I had left behind and used Akihara as a bed, and her breasts as a pillow.
..
.
When I woke up, I was back in my room. Apparently, they woke up first and, without realizing it, brought here.
Honestly, I feel too relaxed to be in such a delicate situation, but if Akihara and Vey wanted to do sothing to , they would have done it already.
Then it was a bit of a repeat of yesterday. I had breakfast, made sure to order more, and then went to bathe, where Vey helped like yesterday.
Obviously, I was going to take advantage to improve my stats.
I felt I was in a bonus stage, which also allows to enjoy that delicious taste of lavender, The night before I realized that her breasts and sweat were not the only thing that tasted like Lavender, which I had overlooked the first ti.
And with how strong they both were, it was possible that I could copy at least one other skill before I left. Like yesterday, Vey was easier and couldn’t handle more than three intense hours.
I left her in my room after drying her and fixing her I was told that Akihara was busy again and is likely to beco stronger the next ti I see her.
I still don’t know if this is good or not, but there is nothing I can do about it.
A even though I was more careful with my protection and blessing, it still seems to affect her, whatever is going on.
..
Now, I was walking through the halls with a slight concealnt, and my goal was to gather information and find Ana.
had questions to ask her I bumped into more maidservants as they were talking. I took note of a few things.
..
.
The hours went by and I didn’t find Ana, and nothing I heard was really new or interesting.
That was until I finally ran into a group of five maids.
’oh this is interesting
I was listening intently to a group of five maidservants who, though not what I was looking for, were talking about how, suddenly, the wife of a minor nobleman, said to be part of the most infatuated couple in town, had run off with her son’s friend in a passionate escapade.
The woman, who had lost her mories in an accident years ago, was said to have recovered them, and no longer felt the sa spark with her husband when she rembered who he was.
Apparently, she was captivated by the passion of that young man, leaving the noble minor in depression and in an attempt to take his own life, while the son began a search for blood for what his friend did.
Without realizing it, I had imrsed myself in that gossip and if I rember correctly, I thought I had heard sothing similar before. I thought I had heard sothing similar before.
’oh!!... wasn’t that the...?!!!?’
When I tried to rember , I felt a shiver down my spine and instinctively turned around and got into a fighting stance.
The hand moving toward my neck from behind was quickly deflected, and I jumped back, which inevitably put in the maids’ sight.
But that was not what was important. I needed to understand the situation more clearly and what this sudden attack was all about.
I detected a familiar aura and imdiately noticed that it was the bastard who shot an arrow at yesterday.
I thought quickly what to do. The situation involved too much. Had he recognized from yesterday or was it sothing else? Which I shouldn’t, because I even cast an advanced spell to hide my aura.
Co to think of it, unlike yesterday, this attack didn’t seem to have intentions to kill , but to pin down and subdue .
I quickly analyzed it and ca to a conclusion: get rid of the concealnt.
"!???"(x5)
To the maidservants, it was as if I suddenly appeared at their side, causing them to be shocked.
"Hey, old man, why did you attack ?"
I looked ahead and finally understood what the man in front of looked like. He was a man with brown skin, cream hair and black horns.
Although not so young he looked relatively, vigorous he appeared , early thirties.
He wore a uniform that, at a glance, I recognized as that of the city lord’s guards. His legs, although covered with armor, showed an irregularity in them and the hooves he displayed.
This guy was a satyr demon, a quasi pure blood.
"...."
He didn’t answer . The man looked at his hand, he seed surprised that I could avoid his grip, having ten tamorphoses and I had only five.
"Eh!?... isn’t that Eryk-sama?"
"Oh! He attacked the lady’s guest."
"Isn’t that a bad thing?"
"I heard that the mistress is very fond of this one."
"Yes, of that there is no doubt. Even the housekeeper stressed to us to be respectful and careful, to treat him as if he were Lady Akihara."
The maids started talking as they looked between us, not knowing what to do. I just stared at the guy; I didn’t know if he had recognized or not.
If he had, I could still get away with it, since I slept with Akihara and Vey yesterday. Even though I went out, I had faith in my abilities and was sure they were sound asleep after all that exercise and my technique.
In fact, Vey said in the morning that she woke up refreshed, like never before, and even thanked . He also relayed to that Akihara was equally satisfied.
"You, boy, why were you hiding like a rat?"
"Hey, old man, that’s rude. I don’t have to answer you anything. It’s none of your business. Fuck you!"
I wasn’t afraid, it’s more I was provoking him on purpose, to find out why he wanted to hold down, if I’m not wrong, I more or less understand how things work in this mansion and I’m at an advantage.
"What did you say, you damn brat, you were hiding and with dubious intentions! As captain of the guard of this place, I have the right to even kill you."
"Go ahead, old man, dare if you can. I’m a guest here. You were the one who suddenly attacked from behind."
"That doesn’t matter. You are suspected of being a spy. Whether you’re a guest or not, I’ll take you in and then report the results of the interrogation to Lady Akihara."
"Fuck you!, old man! I’m not going anywhere."
"I’m not giving you the choice, boy."
"Wait, Eryk-sama! You can’t! This is an important guest of Lady Akihara’s."
"..."
’Phew, why didn’t they act faster? That guy almost kidnapped .’
To begin with, even though he was acting bravely, that was because he was taking into account that the maidservants would definitely intervene.
That fellow, even though he’s a captain of the guard, he’s a captain of the lord’s guard.
Akihara doesn’t have any guards, so since the mansion was strictly divided, I thought his authority on this side was low.
The maidservants, who are the only ones who co and go freely from both sides-since that corridor was not the only way-they know the situation on both sides and which side to stand on.
As I thought, when they saw that the situation was getting out of control, they interfered to defend .
Although I was getting a little nervous that they wouldn’t, I didn’t know if the busy Akihara and the fainting Vey would make it in ti before that guy did sothing to .
"That’s right, old man. I’m a VIP here. So explain to why you attacked from behind out of nowhere, or I’ll report this to Lady Akihara."
"That’s what I should say. Guests shouldn’t move alone and unsupervised. Besides, you had stealth spells on you and were eavesdropping on conversations. I will report this abnormal behavior to Lady Akihara."
"You may say whatever you wish. I already received permission to move about at my leisure. I was just taking a short walk and overheard an interesting topic... Oh, by the way, the woman who ran away was Lady Elma?"
"Oh, so you were interested in that topic too, Eryon-sama? Yes, we were talking about Mistress Elma, or as she was now, Mistress Lucy."
’Yes!!, I knew it!! That friend was dangerous ever since I saw him at the bar.... No, focus.’
