Marquis' Express Butler

The area was quickly cleared up.

Arthur splendidly slaughters his enemies once again into our chambers. There, Eluna showed a great archery on the rooftop of the building next door.

“The commander was defeated. Fall back!”

“Where?”

Aaaaah!

My sword has torn him apart. No blood splashes, but the skin burns to death.

His body is falling apart.

“Don't give me a reason. Get rid of everything! ”

Arthurs and Eluna were even busier when I shouted. Those who protrude from all sides fall to the ground by Eluna's arrows, and those within cannot escape Arthurs' blade.

Obviously, it was not a lie to say that it had risen. Arthur's Black is much stronger than before.

Those who ended up getting seriously injured bitten and killed themselves. So there were no survivors.

In the beginning, I didn't plan on tracking them back. They won't get hit once or twice. Rather, they can use it to trap us.

I put a knife through the heart of the last rebel. The sword burns his heart as it roars with the sound of its teeth and meat.

It's not a lot of bleeding, but it could do a lot of damage if you stick it in an organ.

“Looks like we got 'em all. Everyone okay? ”

“Luckily.”

I took a deep breath and looked around. Arthurs is fine, and then Eluna appears in one piece. Chris sits on the floor, making sure he's strong.

Arthur rubs his arms. The skin is red as if it's burned.

“I'm not hurt, but my skin is a little warm. Was the Decepticons bad?”

“Your error must be weak. I think you should wash it with clean water. Eluna. Treat me with a recovery. ”

“Yes.”

At the crack, I thought it was a good idea for Eluna to learn healing magic.

I left the treatment for Eluna and went downstairs to look into the situation. Everyone was down, whether they were poisoned or not.

Fortunately, the poison didn't do much damage. The people downstairs are having a hard time sleeping. Probably from sleep poisoning.

I don't know if there's an antidote, but it's a poison I tried to write, and it will wake up on its own in time.

But it wasn't completely undamaged.

Some people who were exposed to some poison were saved by vomiting blood. The people on the second floor we stayed on seem to have died without escape.

“…… bastards. ”

It doesn't matter who's after me. I'm doing my job, and I'm willing to risk that.

However, it was unacceptable to exterminate innocent people like this.

Not because I'm a good person.

I felt like I had driven these people to their deaths for no reason.

I knew they would act unnoticed because they were the Secret Service. But the prediction missed exactly.

They have no mercy in their hands.

I think I will do everything in my power when I go after Sapiella and Confucius Hamel.

So I felt dirty.

I was staring at it for a long time, and then someone grabbed my shoulder. He turns around, smiling bitterly and shaking his head.

“It's a pity, but don't take it so personally. It was unpredictable. I didn't expect them to be so blatant. ”

“I don't think it should be handled gently. You bastards, you're bad. ”

“With Greene's head cut off, they won't stand for it. He could have been a gunfighter. ”

Suddenly, I felt like I cut Green's head without consulting Chris. So I tried to tell him, but he laughed and hit the player.

“Cutting Green's throat was a good thing. If you tried to kill him together, you'd be in trouble. There must have been a trick to the spleen. Most of all, his head is highly functional. ”

“That's a relief. I'll have to send his head to the Blacks first. ”

Chris shakes his head.

“The guards will be here soon. Shouldn't we have one option to protect us? ”

“You want to hand your head over to the guards? ”

“Of course. The thing the Secret Service fears the most is not failure in the mission. They're most afraid of revealing their secrets. ”

I think I know what he meant.

Hand over the body of Green who attacked us, and hand over the information of the secret society called the Black Dog to the guards.

As expected, the guards soon approached, and I asked for an interview with the man who appeared to be the commander. It was necessary to prove that we were victims anyway.

But the guards were less cooperative than we thought.

We had to prove our innocence.

* * *

“Not because I doubt you. Ten people have died, so that's a big deal. It's a pity there are no nobles... ”

The guard commander sighs and complains. It is Barista, the center of commerce. Among them, ten people died.

This news will spread all over the world on a front and center. And it will ring the hearts of countless merchants.

That is, they are afraid that the merchants will not visit because the security is unstable.

I responded to the interrogation in a calm tone.

“I understand the captain's heart, but it's already happened, and as I proved earlier, we're victims. I don't understand why you're treating the perpetrator like one. ”

“No, I'm not treating the perpetrator. I'm just frustrated. Even if they're all dead, isn't someone responsible? ”

“Didn't I tell you that part? ”

How many times do I have to tell you the same story?

He also explained that the name of the secret society to which he belongs is' Black Dot ’and that Black Dot is an organization privately owned by the Delfino family.

Of course, the guard commander did not believe it straightaway.

Confidentiality is literally a secret organization. There is no way to prove or be recognized as an administrative officer.

“I think you know the situation behind us. Our family is at war. So the principal is under the protection of the Bahamuts. ”

I tried not to bring up the Duke's name, but I couldn't help it. As expected, the guard commander's expression softened a little.

“Did you say the tissue on the body was' Black Dot ’? His name is Green.”

“That's right.”

“And behind that is the Delfino family? ”

“That's right.”

The guard commander looks skeptical.

“Even so, the Delfino family won't take any responsibility for this. What would you do if you said it was a hoax? ”

“I think you're mistaken.... ”

I wasn't tied up as a reference, but I wasn't armed. So I was able to push myself as close to him as I could.

“I'm not a perpetrator, I'm a victim. The same goes for everyone else. Haven't we already proven that we're not monogamous? Rather, I rescued the people who were staying at the inn. If it wasn't for my partner, I wouldn't have been able to get the poison out. ”

“Even so, this case cannot go unnoticed. Now that you're involved in this case, you'll have to stay here until it's closed. ”

“Who wants it? ”

The door opens wide and an unexpected man appears. It was Confucius Hamel with a solemn look on his face.

I was so surprised that I woke up without knowing it.

This isn't the time for the headquarters to arrive.

“Duke? How did you get here? ”

“How did you get here? Running without rest. That Allan was stubborn... ”

Hamel kicks his tongue. It seems that Sapiella's infancy is in a hurry. I guess I was a little worried.

The guard commander frowned.

“Who is the nobleman? ”

“I am Hamel of House Adeline. And who might you be? ”

“I'm here to see the Confucius. I'm the captain of the guard here.”

The guard commander introduced himself in a manner of speaking. He was a nobleman with a knighthood and a baroness father, but Hamel snorted.

“I wondered which idiot was holding our cute little executive secretary. It was you. ”

“Stupid, aren't you exaggerating? ”

“You're doing too much! ”

That's how Hamel tosses the scroll in his hand to the guard commander. The guard commander, who confirmed it, was startled.

“…… Forgive my rudeness. Sir Dylan, you can go now. ”

What's with the sudden change in attitude?

I was curious, but I think I need to get out of this stuffy space first because I can ask later. I went outside with Confucius Hamel.

Outside is a small wagon, with a cavalry escorting back and forth.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, the Confucius has omitted a complicated process. But what was that scroll? ”

“It's Maer's letter. ”

“If it's Meyer... …. ”

“Mayor of Barista. Feeding the royal family worked. I'm ordering you to release yourself immediately. ”

I nodded. At this Princess' birthday party, I can feel the skin on how much Prince Hamel has done.

“Lord Arthurs told me the story. You kicked their asses, didn't you? ”

“Except there were civilian casualties in the process. ”

“Bastards. ”

Confucius Hamel made an impression. His values are well known through the status window. 'Very good’, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the civilian casualties.

“At least I'm relieved you cut the master's head off. Four more to go, right? ”

“They're all a bunch of underachievers. This one was careless, and Chris helped me take him down easy, but here's the problem. ”

“You won't be able to ignore our power. We got reinforcements here. ”

“Reinforcements?”

Confucius Hamel, who snorted, pauses and climbs into the wagon. I followed him into the wagon. Soon the wagon moved.

“I borrowed a guard from the Sachsen family. Very well trained knights. ”

“Good. I've heard stories from the Sachsen family. ”

The Sachsen family is an earl based here in the commercial city of Barista. It's not as good as the Blue Dragon Knights of the Bahamut family, but this place is also pretty good.

It certainly helps to have a knight dispatched there. They say it's better when it's a blank slate.

“Actually, I didn't use my hands. I think the princess hit him. ”

“If you're a princess, you mean Princess Ofelia? ”

“Yes."

That was a bit surprising.

However, we can also understand how deeply the princess considers Sapiella's love. Obviously the situation is favorable to us.

“I wish you would have sent a royal guard if you were going to use your toebox. ”

“Say something that makes sense. Anyway, Princess Ofelia is coming to see Ella. We should send a messenger as soon as we get back. ”

“That's a good idea. ”

“By the way, have you heard from Mathis? ”

Perhaps the two remaining Confederates have received the information. I shook my head.

“I'm not free enough to receive information. There's nothing wrong with the supply of materials requested by the 2nd Confucius, so it should be done by the time we get there. ”

“Tsk, let's hurry anyway. Ella will be waiting for you. ”

“Yes, Confucius. ”

Our conversation is over, and the wagon starts speeding quietly through the streets of Barista at night.
