I Shall Survive Using Potions! - Chapter 101

Chapter 101

(Kaoru) 「…and something like that…」

We talked to everyone about what just happened today after having finished our dinner.

No well, if I talk about it while we’re still eating, the food will turn bad. Thus, I decided to talk after we’ve finished eating.

(Roland) 「Francette, you……」

Roland was looking at Francette with an astonished face.

Emile and Bell also saw Francette with reproachful eyes.

(Francette) 「W-wrong, there are no reasons for me to be looked with those reproachful eyes……that was Kaoru-chan’s personal opinion! I’m innocent!」

Francette desperately made some excuses.

However…….

(Kaoru) 「But, at that time, you had a face like this, right?」

Having said that, I pointed towards Emile and Bell’s face and Francette became crestfallen.

(Francette) 「…..forgive me. I unintentionally remembered that time when I accompanied Hector-sama and Yunis-sama to their sick grandmother…」

Ahh, it was when Francette served under Earl Adan’s household, huh?

It was that time when I gave some potions to that siblings who were travelling together with their maid and Francette. They seemed to have a depressing atmosphere inside the carriage.

Francette is originally a good-natured person. She’s not the type who would abandon someone even if she only has the power to save herself.

……unless it’s herself, her comrades or my enemies, though.

In this case, those who seek me to get the attention of the rich people and authorities are 『enemies』 in my eyes, but seems like it was different for Francette.

Well, because Francette wants me to be revered as a goddess, she would gladly welcome any goddess-like things from me.

……However, Francette also wanted me to show my goddess power to draw people’s attention, including Roland, who is trying to interrupt my search for a marriage partner.

My surroundings will be filled with enemies, you know!

Don’t joke with me!!

(Kaoru) 「Emile, Bell. This is a divine order for you two who are the members of 『Goddess’ Eyes』.」

(Emile & Bell) 「「Yes!」」

It’s not a joke or collusion when I said it with a proper attitude and a serious face. In their perspective, it was an absolute order. Hence, I need to be very careful about the instructions or else, they both will end up dying to even a single foolish action.

(Kaoru) 「Investigate that person’s master, Baron Drivell, and his son, Charlot. However, I strictly order you to prioritize your own safety rather than the investigation.

For me, my servants are tens of thousands times more valuable than a stranger’s child. The fact that you will treat your life poorly means that you, as servants despise me and put your own life at risk. Your life is mine now. Therefore, I won’t forgive you if you selfishly die without my permission!」

As of now, this will be the second time following our time at the well, telling them that 『I will not allow you to die without my permission』.

(Emile & Bell) 「「Yes!」」

Emile and Bell rushed out once more after giving an energetic reply.

(Francette) 「M-me too!」

I grabbed Francette’s arm and restrained her when she was about to follow them.

(Kaoru) 「Francette is no good」

(Francette) 「W-why…. I-I also, a divine order…」

Ah~ 『A knight who has been given a divine order』, huh…? That’s a title which Francette would likely plunge into.

(Roland) 「A-am I not good?」

Even Roland was standing up as I looked back because of his voice.

Ah~ he really wanted a divine sword, right? Roland also has a strong desire for this, huh….?

(Kaoru) 「No, those two have been doing this kind of work for a long time, so they are already used to it.

Indeed, you guys are superior to Emile and the others in combat power, but you aren’t good at gathering information without the other party realizing it, right?

In the first place, you two are too conspicuous.」

Francette and Roland couldn’t refute my words and they dropped their shoulders dejectedly.

This is kind of awkward……

(Kaoru) 「Alright, this is a divine order! Francette, massage my shoulder!」

(Francette) 「Y-yes!」

When I said so jokingly, Francette took my words in seriously and quickly went behind me……

(Kaoru) 「GYAAAAAA!! IT HURTS! IT HURTSSSSS!!」

……my shoulders were crushed by Francette’s super strength as she forgot to save her power because of her excitement.

(Francette) 「Gyaa!!」

And, in order to protect me, Riette-chan bite Francette’s neck as it was only the exposed place to attack from behind.

(Kaoru, Francette & Riette) 「「「Hah-hah-hah-hah-hahhh………」」」

After that, Roland’s eyes, when he saw us looking exhausted, were painful……

***************

(Emile) 「This is the result of our investigation so far」

Emile and Bell came back right before evening.

According to the reports, the children of Baron Drivell’s household are one boy and two girls. The orders are boy, girl and girl, and their age is 10, 7 and 5 respectively. The person called Charlot, whom the envoy has said before, is the name of the eldest son.

That’s a given for why he was so desperate……

Well, of course it’s not as if he won’t be desperate if there’s a second son in line.

In addition, the Baron and his wife are not at the age where they cannot make children anymore….wait, is this related to the feelings of parents who were thinking about their children?

Anyway, the child named Charlot is, at this point in time, the only boy in the Drivell’s Household and is currently sick and in danger……

(Emile) 「Baron Drivell is ranked B. The child named Charlot is ranked B+. We judged it thoroughly only by the rumors, but……」

Hoho, that’s a pretty high rank.

This 『rank』 is an evaluation system used to determine whether the target should be rescued or not by using 『Goddess’ Eyes』 just like when we were in Balmore kingdom. C is for ordinary nobles, who is not good yet not so bad. D is for a little bad nobles and E is for trash, while B is for relatively good nobles and A is for generous nobles. These five ranks are divided even further into three ranks, that is minus, no sign, and plus. In total, there are 15 ranks that can be used for evaluation.

However, the rank B for adults and the rank B for children are, of course, will be depended on their situation and attitude. They would be deemed worthy to be given 『Goddess’ Mercy』 if there’s nothing strange going on with them.

(Kaoru) 「Alright, let’s move on to the second phase of the investigation. Please continue your investigation tomorrow.」

(Emile & Bell) 「「Yes!」」

This will be the first 『Angel』 work after leaving Balmore Kingdom.

Ah, I have already given up saying 『I’m not an angel』. It’s useless even if I say it everytime, and if I handled the situation poorly, Francette might say, 『Kaoru-sama is not an angel but a goddess』.

(Francette) 「Thank you very much, Kaoru-sama……」

Francette usually refers me as 『Kaoru-chan』, but when there’s no outsider and the topic is related to angel or goddess, she will call me 『Kaoru-sama』. Well, it can’t be helped, I just let her do as she pleases.

(Kaoru) 「I will remind you that I do this not because of Francette’s wish. I’ve already decided to give salvation back when we were leaving Balmore Kingdom. Besides, the one who is giving mercy to the people in this town is 『Angel-sama』, and not a girl named Kaoru who is the owner of 『Convenience Store Bell』. So, there’s no problem!」

(Francette) 「Kaoru-sama……」

Although Francette looks at me with an awe-inspiring eyes, she’s already worshiping me from the start, hence nothing’s changed. Even if you add 90°C hot water to 90°C hot water, it will still remain as 90°C. She’s that type of person.

Now then, how should I do my 『work』……
