The lady is so cute

Chapter 91 Love, Death, and Protection
"Strength, how can you complete the guardianship duty with this little strength!"

The tall and mighty white-haired old man reprimanded her severely.

"Yes!"

Adjust your breathing, and swing the dagger with your strongest strength.

The short dagger in her hand flashed an arc, and there was a loud scratching sound in the air.

"Master Eric, can I do it this time?"

Eric still looked at her with a cold expression, and picked up a branch from the ground beside him.

"07, you use a dagger to compare with me, use all your strength."

The little girl code-named 07 o'clock showed a puzzled expression in her eyes.

"Master Eric, will I hurt you?"

Eric ignored 07's doubts and just made an up gesture.

"Master Eric, I'm sorry!"

07 waved the dagger without hesitation and stabbed the old man in the white-haired suit.

It's also a blow with all our strength

Pat——

The slender branches held up her game with ease.

Then the white-haired old man slapped again, and the slender branch hit her body, leaving a red mark on her frail body.

The old man in the white-haired suit sighed.

"Not enough, you are still too weak, far from qualified to protect Miss, not only you, you are all weak."

Yep, it's them.

07 is not alone, there are dozens of girls of her age who have been adopted by the white-haired old man in front of him.

The old man adopted them for only one purpose, that is to train them to become powerful professionals, and then to protect a 'noble' they have never seen before.

The training here is cruel, and they spend every day with scars, but no one resents the old man with white hair.

Because without Eric, their ending would be even worse.

As a group of orphans, especially girls, it is not easy to live normally in this world with distinct classes.

As a girl, maybe with a bit of luck, being able to be spotted by a certain nobleman, and then being able to act as a "plaything" may already be a good ending.

Being at the bottom of the human empire society and having no family members, maybe they don't even know where they died.

Maybe a group of hooligans dumped his body in a certain alley, and the next day it was just thrown into the crematorium like garbage.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to feel resentment towards Eric, the old man who adopted them.

What's more, this old man is not like those aristocratic old men who use them as tools to satisfy their own desires, but teach them fighting skills to make them professionals.

You know, many civilians don't even have the chance to become professionals in school, and most of them just become swordsmen with the lowest learning cost.

Dozens of young girls were named after numbers, and she was named 07.

Seeing the big red scar on 07's body, Eric also noticed his haste.

"Oh, I'm too eager. 07, your training is over today, go back to your room and organize yourself."

"Yes!"

07 didn't understand why Eric suddenly asked her to give up training today, but she did as Eric said.

-

wow~

The sound of objects falling into the water came from the tidy room.

In the bathroom, a thin brown-haired girl was taking a shower.

07 buried his head on his legs, feeling the comfort of warm water soaking his body.

The red scar slashed by Eric is still aching, but it has healed a lot under the effect of warm water.

07 The bathing water is not ordinary fresh water, but holy water that has been added and diluted.

Holy water, as a limited product of the Holy See, is something that many aristocrats can't buy outside, but here they are used as ordinary bathing water.

In the past, 07 couldn't imagine it at all.

The place where I live now is also the same. Although it is not luxurious, it can definitely exceed the living conditions of most people in the human empire.

"I don't know what kind of person that nobleman who needs our allegiance is."

Whether the other party is the young master or the young lady, until now, these girls who were trained to be guards still don't know.

What if it's a pampered young master with a bad personality?
Gollum~

07 held his breath, soaked his whole body in the bathtub and shook his head, spitting out a bubble in the water.

No, there is an elder like Master Eric, whether it is a young master or a young lady, his (her) qualities should be very good.

The rest time was very short. Putting on the black and white maid uniform, 07 came to the door of a living room according to Eric's order.

"Master Eric."

Looking at Eric standing in the room, 07 bowed politely to Eric, this is the maid etiquette that Eric gave them.

"Well, 07, you come in."

For the first time, Eric didn't speak to 07 in a harsh tone.

07 quickly entered the room and walked to Eric's side.

"Your strength is very weak, very weak."

"But it is undeniable that you are the most outstanding one among you, so I order you to be the head maid to lead the others to serve Ms. Ariwell."

Eric's words made Aliwell slightly stunned.

Miss Aliwell?

07 looked in the direction Eric pointed, and then 07 noticed a girl about her age sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room.

The other party has pale golden hair and a pair of calming eyes.

Could this be the nobles they need to serve.

Aliwell noticed 07 and took the initiative to say hello to her.

"Hello?"

"Hello Miss Ellieville."

According to the etiquette taught by Eric, 07 immediately bowed to Aliwell to show his respect.

Aliwell was a little dazed seeing 07's solemn appearance. She didn't understand why the girl in front of her was keeping her head down all the time.

"Miss Aliwell, as your servant, she cannot raise her head without your permission." Eric reminded from the side.

"Is that so, why is there such a rule?"

Aliwell immediately looked at 07, and put her hands on 07's weak shoulders.

"You don't have to do this, just look up at me."

07 slowly raised his head, and looked at Ellie Weier, his eyes were serious like Eric's, but also a little indifferent.

"Well, what's your name?"

"I'm sorry Miss Ellieville, I don't have a name, my code name is 07, if you want to call me 07."

"Hey, don't you have a name?"

"Um--"

The girl with light blonde hair tilted her head in a daze.

Aliwell made a look of thinking, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, An Ning's eyes flashed with a flash of inspiration.

"Then how about I call you 'Rin'? Look, you said the code name is 07, the two words have the same pronunciation, and your eyes are also very cold."

'Rin' became 07's name at that moment.

In the following days, although Rin was still receiving Eric's training every day, there would always be an aristocratic girl with pale blond hair to accompany her to rest and chat with her
As an aristocratic girl, Aliwell did not put on airs with her humble status at all, but was like a pair of sisters.

In the heart of the brown-haired girl named Rin, who used to be called 07, she has unconsciously placed Ellie Weir in the most important position in her heart.

She will be willing to do everything to protect the people she serves, even if it seems clumsy and unreasonable, she will also drive away all those who have unreasonable ideas about the people she serves.

-

"Hey, am I going to die?"

Some past memories gradually emerged, and she seemed to recall many things that were no longer clear in her mind.

Rin remembered that she was pierced through the body by the jet-black spear point in order to protect Ellievere, and suffered injuries of that degree, and she should be on the verge of death by now.

It is said that when a person is about to die, the memories of the past will emerge.

"Dead, just die."

It's just that Rin felt sorry for not being able to persist in the duty of guardianship to the end, but that's not important anymore.

Aliwell already has a guardian who is countless times stronger than her, and the position in Aliwell's heart is much more important than her.

Rin had to admit that he was even jealous of that powerful black-haired youth for a while.

The surroundings have fallen into endless darkness, this is her end.

Rin has accepted this fact frankly, she has no regrets, she died to fulfill her duty.

"Rin, I won't allow you to leave me without permission!"

A familiar voice came suddenly, and a white light shone into the endless darkness.

There was also a youthful voice.

"Don't worry, Aliwell, she will be fine with me here."

　Well, although the previous description of the role of Rin was sprayed miserably, but there is a beginning and an end. After thinking about it, I decided to write such a chapter for the sake of completeness of the plot. (I don’t want to say anything if I insist that it’s whitewashing, but those kind of eloquent readers should leave without seeing this.)
　　The first volume is estimated to only have two chapters, and the next step is basically to improve some of the first volume's problems and leave an easter egg chapter by the way.

　　A discussion group has been established, and interested readers can join it, although there should be no one, please don't disturb the trolls.

　　Group number: 1048496074
　　It is mainly for the discussion of some plots to avoid the situation where the characters in the first volume are not to the readers' liking, and, cough, to remind the readers.

　　I spend a lot of time in the game and browsing station b, otherwise I can still do double updates under normal circumstances.
