Chapter 83 – Wolf-kun and Sword – Part 1

The place we came to is a place close to the training room Theo and Ellie use.
In other words, it’s a place close to the Reki-kun room.
I have a feeling of returning. No, in fact, I have waved my hand towards the Reki-kun room.

I couldn’t leave Ena’s worried face alone. Even though I’m in the mansion……

Lacria explained here and there while on the way.
She didn’t explain about the furniture, but she shortly explained me the names and purposes of the rooms we have passed.
Because there are so many, it took quite a lot of time.

I want to see the Knights Order’s practice, because of those sudden words, she’s most likely trying to gain time to complete the preparations.
If I think about it carefully, four of the knights are escorting me, and Ojiisama who acts as the commander is at work.
Theo and Ellie are in school, and I don’t know how many of them are roping off the rooms we are checking, but there should be quite a lot.
The rest should be on standby, but I don’t think there would be many of them.

Even though the master wants to see the practice of her Knights Order, it wouldn’t have a meaning with such little number of people.
Most likely, all the members who were roping off the area were urged to prepare for the practice.
And after all, the master is coming to see. An ordinary practice wouldn’t make sense, they probably want to let me see a good practice in full equipment. I’m looking forward to it because I will be able to see the armor if they are wearing it.
It takes time to wear such equipment. Therefore, stalling is necessary.
I’m getting ready to go see, because I don’t want them to make a blunder.

「This is the seventh reception room. It’s not usually used, but there are times when it’s used for different purposes because it’s one of the medium-sized reception rooms within the mansion」

「Chiau?」
   (Chigau?/Different?)

「Yes, there are rooms among the reception rooms that are not used only for interaction with the guests. This particular room leans more towards the latter side――」

Although Lacria continues to smoothly and sonorously explaining, my interest is not attracted very much.
I’m listening, but I honestly don’t care.
As if noticing my thoughts, Lacria switched the lengthy explanations to short trivia and made it somehow interesting.

I thought of Lacria to the normal, serious child among the personal maids.
That wasn’t a mistake, as she’s particularly serious among them.
Nija and Jenny give off an impression of scheming something and Mira is serious, but slightly unreliable. Lacria gives no impression like that compared to the other three.
Having said that, it’s not like she has no interest in me who is her master as she cheerfully keeps me company when I call for her. I can clearly understand from the flow of her magical power that she’s not like that just because it’s her work. There’s no falsehood in her happy flow of magical power.

「This is the artwork safekeeping room. As the name suggest, many works of art are kept in here. I think that the stuffed toy modeled after the rabbit tribe made by Rideshugan IV. is especially wonderful. That perfect form. That heart throbbing overflowing beauty. The position and form of the eyes and ears…… ahh, how wonderful…… an equally distributed high-quality cotton. If the day I could touch it comes, just how pleasant would that feel……」

「…… Come back」

「Ouch」

For some reason, Lacria begins to release magical power when talking about a stuffed toy.
Was it ominous or was it refreshing…… I wanted to ask, but I understood without asking, and I felt like tsukkoming all over the place.
And the ecstatic expression and passionate, rough breathing while explaining left me with questions.

This is the so-called stuffed toys freak.
They devote their adoration in one field. As I thought, the serious Lacria was a trap as well.

It appears that somehow, all of my personal maids are weirdos.
Well, there’s no real harm, so I don’t mind, but.

Lacria who was brought back by Nija’s jab to the side has repeatedly apologized, but is it normal for personal maids to jab each other in front of their master?
Nija didn’t hold back. Sometimes, her words are extremely frank too.
Still, as expected of the personal maids for not crossing the line. They know their parts well.
But, this is also good as it makes me feel intimate with the personal maids.

「W, well then, to the next place…… ah, wait a moment please」

「Nyu」

It seems Lacria has been contacted via the communication magic tool. She takes a distance and answers.
I want one of those magic tools because they are convenient.
I always had my cell phone with me in my previous life, so I really would like something similar.
Let’s try asking Obaasama next time. It’s nothing dangerous, so I think it would be alright to give me a magic tool.
Besides, when I think about it, I have never asked for anything before. I wonder if Obaasama won’t be pleased on the contrary.

「Thanky ou for waiting. Well then, let’s go to the Knights Order’s practice grounds」

「Ai」
   (Hai/Yes)

It appears the preparations are complete. Now then, I’m looking forward to what practice they will show me.
It shouldn’t be a clumsy one like Theo’s and Ellie’s practice, but something with a punch. I’m looking forward to it so much that I’m trembling with excitement. As I thought, adventures should be like this…… It’s a bit different from what I was thinking, though.
