Duke, Please Repent! chapter 191

39. An uninvited visitor to the duke's residence (2)

This reveals why Serpens gave me candy.

It was because he didn't want others to see him holding a big lollipop.

Especially if that target becomes a humanus, it would be even worse.

'I'm happy when Serpens and I are eating well, but... .'

If you're a Yuma Snowbird, who calls itself a bamboo shooter, she'll try to make fun of Serpens.

For this reason, I will tell you in advance. I don't have the ability to read signs like you do.

I was surprised to find out that I had a real tooth decay.

'In other words, it is said that he entrusted it to me as soon as possible .'

Thanks to that, I ended up being a candy-and-squeaking rogue aide at work.

I slowly lowered my arm under the desk and hid the candy.

"Why is the Crown Prince here?"

Serpens asked, getting up from his seat as a courtesy.

In the past, he would have tilted his head with an innocent expression as if he was asking because he was really curious, but now he was making a forced smile that felt uncomfortable to anyone looking at it.

"Huh? Did Sepi tell you to stop by the Empire?"

Huma-Eunsae asked with a puzzled expression.

Behind him, dressed in a white robe

Liena politely folded her hands and nodded her head slightly with a look of regret.

It was an apology for what happened suddenly.

The impediment of the demon worshipers seemed to go way beyond that, meaning that it would be better to go through an empire that could contain it as much as possible.

"I thought it was because there were words I couldn't convey through letters. What?"

At Serpens' words, Humanus smiled haha and scratched the back of his head shyly.

"I said clearly that I would.

I did it], let me kill myself alone... . I want to see my sister too... .

An unsatisfied murmur was heard from somewhere.

My sister's wish, it's Anima's voice.

I can't see her, but I can only hear her voice], it seems that she, of small stature, is hidden behind the other party.

A humanus with a height of over 180, or looking around next to him, looking around the inside of the office. Standing behind a woman who was about the same height as Humanus could not be seen.

'Is it puror?'

As described in [Master of the Holy Sword], it looked like it had copper-colored skin and red-brown hair tied high in one.

"Since this is what happened, would you like to join Sepy too?"

I will specify.

Now that you know how to handle the Holy Sword, it's fine. Of course, it may not be enough for Sefi to see, but you won't be relying solely on Sefi!

I am the holy sword hung from Humanus' waist. Exactly, I saw the scabbard that contained it.

Even before departure, it was a rather splendid but ordinary scabbard with large, milky-white jewels that had not been seen.

It was reminiscent of a white opal with a strange light flickering in it.

It must be the reward from the first trial.'

A warrior's armor is not a standardized object.

Based on what the owner of the holy sword wanted most at the time, it was the power that resided in one of the things he had.

leave it,

[Godsmea who considers even the fashion taste of the person who gets the weapon!]

[Even if you're like me, if you throw out old clothes and wear them, you won't wear them even if they have great features!]

[Even if he can't work, he's an outstanding fashion pioneer.]

There were comments like that.

Anyway, the first warrior's armor that Humanus obtained became a sword, and its function

plays a secondary role in controlling the power of the Holy Sword.

In other words, when it comes to dealing with the power of the Holy Sword, the only thing I did was temper.

'Of course, I had to improve my skills.'

The demons attacked me like that, and if it doesn't increase, that's weird.

I will refuse, though.

,,why?!,,

To Serpense's stern refusal, Humanus responded that he couldn't believe it, and Serpense let out a small sigh.

A friend's house broke into the mansion

didn't you say But only Humanus seems friendly?"

Seeing the two of them like that, Puror asked Liena with a puzzled expression.

According to Humanus-sama's words, Serpens-nim is very shy, so it seems that he is often open-minded.

"Isn't it just an open relationship? It's strange . My nib is saying it's not, is it strange?"

Puror, who heard Liena's answer, tilted his head with his arms crossed with an even more mysterious expression.

I still have work to do here.

A thing to do?

"After the last ordeal, I will go to the second prince in the former Ferrarius realm and tell him."

Isn't it okay to tell me now?

It's asking for confidentiality, so I can't.

No matter what the conversation was behind the scenes, Serpence and Humanus continued their conversation.

Does Frederick know?

"On this matter, even if the Crown Prince

Even if I told you, there was an order from His Majesty not to announce it.

But I know, I know Eugenes, and even Winston recently heard about it.

They say they are preparing in advance for the demon that will appear in the dark area.

As a member of the Illuminati, I told him to know, but it came out of Serpens' mouth anyway.

Does your father know?

Of course. And the Duke of Argento knows some, if not all.

But what about me?

Your Majesty, don't worry about anything else, and focus on ending the ordeal for now.

It's for the sake of me and the continent because Sepi is doing it, but it's a bit sad.

I don't know if it's for the continent, but if you ask if it's for Humanus, I'll answer no.

I'm sorry that I made a mistake and made you come to the capital despite the hasty journey.

Serpens softly twisted the words, 'You have nothing to say, so get out of here.'

did.

However, it is not for nothing that I call Huma Eyesea Hugh Manus for nothing.

Oh, are you against it?

No. I misunderstood, well. So, Sefi needs to apologize 1一 匚 ....

Saying that, Humanus approached Serpens and tried to put his arm friendlyly on his shoulder.

And Serpens, who listened to me even though he didn't listen to the emperor, avoided it.

Suddenly, Humanus raised his arms in the air.

staggered and staggered.

Uh, uh... Sepi?

Say it.

"Why, why are you avoiding it?"

You must be busy, but I don't think I should take any more time...

He said it would take a few minutes to pat on the shoulder.

It was no excuse.

No matter how much Humanus noticed it, he looked at Serpens with empty eyes.

When I get home from work, I hug my cat and squirm, thinking about healing.

It was the same expression as when a cat scratched herself and slowly got out of her arms and climbed up on the cat tower.

'What a nuisance to our cat?'

Even if you don't have a cat. If you try to do that to someone else's cat, you have no choice but to run away.

When I heard a clicking sound from the side and turned my head, at some point, Eugene was standing there.

I couldn't go out because of the storm of Humanus and his party, but I was confused as I stood in the middle of the office.

It looks like it came from Lee.

Hey, Sepi, are you mad? Hurry up and find information about the second ordeal, but you think I wasted my time? Get angry, huh?

As Humanus was trying to stab him in the side with his elbow while slyly speaking, Serpens avoided it again.

I guess I'm slowly coming this way... ?'

I looked down at the candy in my hand.

I understand why you gave me this, but I still don't know what to do with it.

'If I throw it away, will the serpens sound? Would it be ok if I buy a new one? Can I throw this in the office trash before then? What if an ant gets kinked? Serpens can kill demons but can't kill ants, isn't it really a big deal?'

Complex thoughts scrambled in my head.

Meanwhile, Humanus, who had an ogee, continued to pursue Serpence, who, while running away from him, slipped between me and Eugene.

I don't know what this is doing.

"Really close no, isn't it?

just . strange? What is it?"

I also played with my sister a lot while playing tag... I want to play with her too... I only hurt Humanus...

Puror put on a worried expression on their actions, which at first glance seemed like a joke.

Behind her, the anima, half-discovered by the movement of Humanus, trembled and stared at them.

"Ah By the way, how did you find out about the second ordeal, Serpens-sama?"

Lee, who took the position of common sense among the party

As if Ena couldn't see it, she spoke to Serpens.

Yes, that's right! How did you know that? I answered before I even gave the clue, so you thought the eyes of the dwarf apostle who explained the ordeal would pop out?

Humanus, who was aiming for a gap in Serpence between me and Eugene, also took a step back and asked if he was curious about it.

It's like playing with a friend during break time and then hitting the class bell and sitting down.

Serpence is seriously avoiding

just.

Judging from the still bright expression on Humanus's face looking at him, he must have thought that Serpens was playing a prank.

Even today, Humanus has built up one more space in his friendship stack.

" it might get a little long, so I'll tell you later."

According to the Serpensian interpreter, it's just a call to shut up and keep going.

Oh, I'm going to stay overnight in the capital for one day. There are a lot of vacant rooms? I'll take care of you for just one day.

Yes?

In response to Humanus's abusive behavior that suddenly came and asked if he could sleep at your house with his friends, Serpens had a suspicious expression on his face.

I'm really sorry. I should have called you in advance...

There was no objection as to whether the content had been previously discussed with the party, but there was an apology from Liena.

Bona Mana Humanus must have flaunted her friendship with Serpens and said that it was okay not to.

'I never took another friend to my friend's room?!'

No matter how close your friends are, basic manners should be respected. Especially if it's an unfamiliar friend.

However, to Humanus, who had an open mind that all friends of friends were friends, that didn't seem to matter much.

I know it's busy, but I'm in a hurry to get to the capital city, so I'm tired of running and eating for several days. Besides, since I came to the Empire, the demon worshipers haven't been able to do anything, so I took a good rest today.

It doesn't look like the schedule is going to get messed up.

Humanus declared a holiday.

If that's the case, it's the Imperial Palace...

It's getting too big.

Since you've come to the capital after a long time, how about visiting the Count of Opulence to meet with yourself?

Sepie, I think it's because you don't know the relationship between men and women...

Humanus looked back at his party.

No matter how much they are colleagues, they go to their lover's house with as many as three people of the opposite sex.

Asking them to sleep on the bed means they can't afford it.

Anyway! Let's take care of yourself for today. I'll ask you, huh? What's a good friend?

It was not a very good request because I was not satisfied with the prerequisite 'friend'.

Serpense glanced at me with a look of what to do in this case.

'Yanmar, can't you turn your eyes away?!'

A duke getting permission from his aide to let guests stay overnight in his mansion!

You decide on your own, and quickly

Blind eyes in the sense of turning or turning.

The guy who got my eyes turned a little pale.

That's, umm... I see. I'll call the butler and show you the room you'll be staying in.

In fact, the answer seems to have been decided from the beginning. It is impossible to drive out the Crown Prince Humanus.

In the end, Serpens accepted his request.
