I never thought that a clichéd event would come.
I came back to the street while thinking of such a foolish idea. First, let’s talk to the girl I helped.
「Are you okay? Were you injured?」
Oh well, I played the part of a reliable onii-san who helped her. If she doesn’t react then it’s boring.
「If you have someone to thank, thank Misha. It’s Misha who noticed your voice」
「Yes! I did what Master told me」
Misha looks satisfied with the thanks. Her tail shakes with her mood.
「Are you sure?」
「Then…Please」
I walked the street by the guidance of the girl.l Meanwhile, the girl hid her face and fell silent. Is she still embarrassed? What a cute girl, when I was thinking of that, my sleeve is getting pulled.
「Master, your face is weird」
「Hahya! Uhm, Lilith. I’m called Lilith!」
Lilith, who was thinking deeply was surprised with the sudden voice.
「It’s Lilith? Why you went alone today?」
There was a two story house with a terrace.
Colorful flower blooms in front of Lilith’s house and is much more livelier than the other houses. Gardening is probably her hobby.
I’ll just leave coolly afterwards. Bye then, when I turned back, Lilith raised a cry.
「U-uhm! A-as thanks! Err…Would you like to drink tea inside?」
Lilith wants to detain me. However, I don’t know what to do so I can’t speak.
「That’s right! Snacks! I’m about to bake cookies! Please eat it by all means!」
There’s a lot of flower arrangements and houseplant that calms my heart inside the house.
「You like plants?」
「Onii-san saw it a while ago. Also…I believe in you」
Lilith looked at me and Misha while saying so.
While we’re talking, footsteps can be heard from the upper floor
「Lilith came back? Oh, a visitor?」
Coming down is a leaf colored hair elf dressed in pajamasー Seria’s maid, Lululie.
I thought of it since I saw Lilith’s pointed ears.
Of course, there’s a possibility that it’s an unknown elf from the capital. But the two are sisters just like how I imagined.
I’m able to make contact with Lululie by chance. I can use this.
When Lilith finished speaking briefly soon, Lululie bowed at me.
「Thank you so much for saving Lilith. I’m Lululie, this child’s sister. Here’s our living room, please come」
Then, we were guided by Lululie to the living room. We finished the self-introductions in the meantime.
It’s understandable. She slept on the duration of the attack, then forced to sleep through magic to remove her fatigue. Furthermore, when she woke up, she constantly attended to Seria. She returned home today probably because she left the castle after being kicked out by Seria out of her room last night. It’s natural that she’ll fall down.
「However, can Lilith set fire?」
「But…」
Quarrel between siblings is no good, but they suddenly started fighting. However, the words of worry are the only one coming out. This sisters must be close.
「No, I will…」
「Wait, Lilith!?」
Lululie shyly hid her small chest with her hand due to the sudden mental attack. But, Lilith didn’t care about it.
「I know it. Onee-chan rubs it when she’s taking a bath to make it bigger」
「I won’t shut up. Onee-chan always mind her breasts and kept sighing」
「It’s impossible. Princess is already big when she was at your age」
「Look, your target changed. Also, I won’t lose to Lilith」
Lululie cuts down Lilith’s dream in one stroke.
But, I don’t know who would win on Lilith vs Lululie.
「I-I can win. I heard how to get as big as Seria」
Lilith grinned and said.
「Noo~ I won’t teach Onee-chan. You can just do what you do by yourself」
「Why!? green pepper has nothing to do with it?」
「Then, I’ll add eggplant, tomato and mushrooms」
However, Lilith’s eyes swim as she speak. She really doesn’t know the method how to make the chest big. She’s thinking desperately right now. She glanced at me, then, she her eyes flashed as if she’s inspired.
「Err, Onee-chan. That method is…rubbing」
Lilith springs out her hand as Lululie approach her. But, Lululie answered with a flat voice.
「I already tested it」
I remembered a slight fear with her mutter of despair.
「The one I love…」
「Ahahah…」
Lululie became stiff with Lilith clinging to me, I laughed to deceive her and Misha is grooming her tail.
「Yes, I’m hungry. I want to eat the cookies soon」
Misha read the atmosphere properly. Next, let’s give her a task.
「That’s right, Misha, help Lilith. You won’t have problems baking cookies right?」
「Don’t mind it. I didn’t hear nor see anything」
After talking with Lululie for a while, Lilith brought the tea in front of us.
「Look, I can do it Onee-chan!」
Apparently, this war is Lululie’s loss.
After the play ended, I tried to talk to Lululie.
「…What could it be?」
She understood the atmosphere, Lululie’s face turned serious too.
「This time those fellows tried to kidnap Lilith, but they aimed at Lilith as an individual. It wasn’t because since she’s an elf with No magic, it’s Lilith herself. You got a clue why she’s aimed at?」
「Lululie might not know it, but the matter about Princess Seria being attacked by someone the day before is already a rumor downtown. She was with a maid that time. And then, they attempted to kidnap Lilith a while ago. When you match it, you can see the aim of the criminal」
Lululie meditated for a while, then her mouth slowly opened.
「In short, the real aim…is me?」
I silently agreed.
Perhaps the mastermind is no other than the three perpetrators. Then, the mastermind knows the relationship of Lululie and Seria.
「This is just a guess. Also, I haven’t heard about the details. However, it seems the two of you are in danger」
But, I will push it here.
「So, I have a proposal. I, with Misha intend to guard you two for a while. I have the same constitution as Lilith but I’m sensitive on enemies, and Misha has a physical ability almost equal to C-class. And we can call someone we trust when we’re busy. How about it?」
Since I hid my power, I lowered my statement.
I thought of escorting her from the castle, but this situation doesn’t exist. Furthermore, Lululie dislikes knights. Then, there’s a good chance I get her favor.
「You don’t need to mind the reward. It’s not for free, but you can pay on a reasonable range. I won’t demand for your body so don’t worry」
I really want her to pay with her body, but I promised Seria that I won’t lay my hand on Lululie. I’m a man who keeps promises. But, I can make a favorable impression with this plan.
「This is just my selfishness. Since I already know the girl being aimed at, I can’t just leave her alone. I can watch secretly from the outside, but I want to protect you close. I don’t mind if you don’t pay for reward. I’m prepared for the risk of dying since I imitate adventurer’s temporary freedom. Is it still no good1?」
Though I suppressed goosebumps and irritation but, there’s no much reaction.
When I was thinking of what should I do, a voice from the kitchen is heard.
「Uwaa, Misha, that’s amazing! How did you do it?」
「Eh. Can it cut stones?」
「Even mithril!?」
「You can’t cut onii-san okay!?」
The two girls seems to cook happily. But the contents of the conversation is dangerous.
「How about it? I’d be grateful if Misha and Lilith would become friends. Since she doesn’t have friends due to special circumstances, but i think it’s a good chance」
Appeal to sympathy strategy. If this is still no good I don’t have anything else at hand.
「Be relieved. I will definitely guard you」
I returned an answer while being relived from Lululie’s answer.
I decided the guarding contents, we decided the reward and I signed the escort contract.
