The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

and many more!

Riber straightened up suddenly.

Isn't there another reliable character, just near the mansion?

Volume 16: Chapter No.[-], Calling for Help

In the evening, Riber, the butler, was found in the lobby on the first floor of the mansion and gave him an order.

"I'm going out, Sebastian, get the carriage ready."

"...Yes, master."

Sebastian glanced at the sky outside, hesitated a little, but followed Ribel's order.

Apart from matters of etiquette, Sebastian rarely interfered with Riber.

Looking at Sebastian who was going to prepare the carriage, Riber heaved a sigh of relief.

Until now, he was still a little worried, and he made a move that was not common sense, and then aroused suspicion.

Riber still doesn't know much about the level of technology in this world. He only knows that there are photos, newspapers and the like.

So, even if Meluetta said that nobles in this world travel in carriages.He was still worried that the village girl's knowledge limited her, and made her not know that in fact, everyone had already been in the car.

The destination of Riber's trip is very clear, and it is the town of Grace located on the northwest side of the mansion.

The town of Grace is not large, but there is a large labyrinth a few miles away from this town.Therefore, there are many adventurers in the town.

And what Riber wants to find is an adventurer, or the best among adventurers.

The real protagonist in "The Witch Screams".

Since he saw the shining light yesterday, and the time roughly matched, Riber guessed that the real protagonist is now in Grace Town.

Although, Riber doesn't know the name of the real protagonist at all, and he is not sure about the character and ability of the protagonist.

But he still feels that the real protagonist is a more reliable partner than the saint who is inexplicably preparing to make a home in the dungeon, or the maid who will order a mansion to add to the fun at any time.

Moreover, he didn't feel ashamed at all about wanting to hug the real protagonist's thigh.

From the perspective of a bystander, he may also cast aside his kind of time traveler who is not self-reliant and only wants to rely on others.

But after actually facing the current situation, he only knew that he was almost overwhelmed by the pressure, and he just wanted to find someone to share it with.

What's more, wouldn't there be a golden finger with such a powerful "retrospection of death", who would end up being dubious about his life, and finally had to shake a mechanical descendant sword master to barely pass the prologue time travel who?

There was a senior in front of him, and Riber just stood on his shoulders.

After a long time, the butler Sebastian, who didn't know where to prepare the carriage, didn't come back either.

Riber, who always felt a little depressing staying in the mansion, first walked outside the mansion, passed through the stone floor of the courtyard, and came to the big iron gate that was the main entrance of the mansion.

When the two guards were asked to open the gate, Riber found that their attitude was also a little subtle.

Probably, they are also members of the Church of Scourge.

Ugh...

There is no normal person in the whole mansion.

And one of the guards opened the door even though he hesitated a bit.But the other guard walked away in a sneaky manner.

Regarding these details and abnormalities, although Riber was concerned about them, he had no idea, and finally came outside the gate of the mansion, and stretched vigorously.

The Earl's mansion was built in a very remote place.Looking around at a glance, all you can see are mountains and forests.

As a person who tends to stay at home, Riber instinctively doesn't want to live in such an inaccessible place.

Therefore, now he is even considering that after rescuing the saint with the real protagonist, he will simply abandon the identity of the earl and mess with them in the future.

Anyway, being an earl is meaningless, and there are people from secret organizations around him grinning at him every day.It would be better to be an adventurer, more free.

His knowledge and insight as a time traveler may not be able to be used to invent anything, but it should be no problem to start a business.

The key question is, what is the strength of the real protagonist.Will it be possible to protect him and Melueita?

Also, there is one thing that Ribel is very concerned about on Melueita's side.

That is, there is a strategy story line about her in the game, which is actually called "The Hymn of the Calamity Witch".

Although, since the game itself is called "The Witch is Singing", it is understandable that the heroines who appear on the stage will eventually become witches.But Melueta, who can go from one extreme to another, is really a frightening thing to think about.

However, for the word "disaster", Riber still has the same feeling.

Although, there may also be elements of the earl before the time travel caused by himself.

But in short, Riber now deeply feels what kind of experience it is to have a "disaster" buried in the ground at home.

Just when Riber was in front of the mansion, looking at the vast distance and thinking wildly.

Suddenly, a sound of flapping wings sounded behind him.

Riber turned his head slightly, and found that a large red-eyed crow was flying low towards him.

Before Riber could make a gesture of resistance, the fast crow landed on his shoulders, and the two bird claws firmly clamped his shoulders.

Even in a fantasy world, such an encounter would probably be unusual.

So, Riber showed his talent and kept his face.

When the crow settled down, it opened its beak, and an old voice came from inside.

"inside..."

The crow actually spoke.

And Riber couldn't tell now whether he was scared or not.

"Where are you going?"

"...I have a private matter."

After swallowing naturally, Riber replied coldly.

To be honest, he never knew that a creature like a crow would look so terrifying up close.

That mass of darkness and chaos, as well as the ferocious shape of the bird's claws, even if it is called a monster, it is not too much.

"Push it off."

The crow ordered in an unquestionable tone,

"Huguang, the handover will come within this week. Before the handover, I don't allow any mistakes. And many magic circles and organs in this mansion can only be used by you who have the blood of Campret. Once you're not there, we'll have trouble dealing with emergencies."

"..."

For a long time, Riber slanted his face and stared at the crow on his shoulder.

It wasn't that he was putting pressure silently "again", it was just that he didn't know what to say.

On the crow's side, it kept looking ahead and did not look at Riber, as if it was really an ordinary bird.

"I see."

In the end, Riber said with a feeling of resignation.

After getting a satisfactory answer, the crow quickly flew away and disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye.

It wasn't until the crow went away that Riber realized that there was a lot of cold sweat on his back, almost soaking his clothes.

That big crow, with its BOSS-like tone and posture, really brought him a huge sense of oppression.

He didn't expect that the real person in charge in the Earl's mansion would be a crow.

Moreover, this crow is like a certain guide, and will remind him of the information "Let's explore the area ahead later".

Of course, compared to that guide, this crow is nothing cute.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Riber turned around and returned to the mansion, continued to go to his room and began to isolate himself.

He always felt like he had forgotten something, but thinking about it, it shouldn't be a very important thing.

...

...

night.

Outside the iron gate of the mansion.

The housekeeper Sebastian, sitting on the carriage, pulled the reins of the two silver horses, and fell into deep thought while listening to the insects around him.

Young Master, why are you still not here?

Could it be that he let his pigeons go?

Impossible, that's the young master he watched grow up with his own eyes, how could he do such a bad thing?

so...

so!It was definitely not the young master who was wrong.

It must be the chef of the mansion,

right!It's all that chef's fault!

So, Sebastian, who jumped off the carriage, also angrily went to trouble the chef this day.

Volume 17: Chapter No.[-], The Gentle Man

Another day passed.

Looking at himself in the mirror every day, Riber, who always felt that he was getting more and more emaciated, also came to the dungeon in the afternoon this day.

He took two lunch boxes, one was Melueita's food for the day, and the other was an afternoon tea set.

Sitting opposite the "master" of the dungeon on both sides of the small square table, drinking tea and eating crispy beans called "Liya beans", Riber felt a rare tranquility.

He realized that he seemed to like spending time with Melueta as he was doing now.

It's not because Melueita is a saint or heroine or something. When he is just with Melueita, Riber doesn't have to worry about what he will accidentally expose, and he doesn't have to worry that the other party will suddenly attack him. .

"Mr. Earl! I can also feel the delicious taste of this cup of black tea!"

Opposite Riber.Melueita, first drank half a cup of tea in one gulp, and then realized that her behavior seemed a little inappropriate, so she took a few sips pretendingly, and then gave her thoughts.

"As long as you are satisfied."

Riber felt that the image of a lady that Melueta wanted to reveal occasionally was probably her last reserve as a girl.

But in fact, it started from the point where she was sitting in front of Liber, clean, white, and cool.In Liber's heart, she basically has no image at all.

After drinking tea to soothe her throat, Melueita began to eat food from another lunch box.

After eating the same bunny meal as Ribel's, Melueita's complexion was tangled for a while, and she still asked.

"Mr. Earl, do you cook these foods yourself?"

Riber, who roughly guessed what Melueta meant, felt offended for no reason.

He felt that even he who only used hot water to make instant noodles in his previous life should actually cook better than the mansion's chef.

perhaps...

"Huh...Since this is the case, I'm relieved. Then, Mr. Earl, can you please bring me some seasonings next time? I only need simple types. The current food is really... "

Meluetta blinked her bright and moist blue eyes, and begged Ribel.

"can."

Riber replied quickly without any hesitation.

And after answering, I felt that something was wrong.

No imprisoned person would ask the kidnapper for seasoning.

In other words, what does Melueta need seasoning for?Is she planning to live here forever?

What's more, even if the chef is just a disguise, the brothers of the Church of Scourge seem to be a little too unprofessional.

He was actually despised by a village girl!

"Hey... Mr. Earl, you really are a very gentle person."
