Survival in Another World With My Master

"Welcome aboard. Please come this way."

When Serafita went to the room where she waited after lunch, her cheeks were dyed rosy, and she already had a flowery smile waiting for me. I was guided to a fashionable tea table while being greeted, and I was seated in an antique chair.

Then the little old maid who kept it in the room immediately prepared tea in front of him, and went back to the corner of the room. A strange wolf or a dog beast maid.

"She is Pieta, the maid who served me before I went to sleep. He woke me up and ran over to hear what I was doing at the castle."

Serafita explained that to me, and the maid smiled silently. However, I feel uncomfortable with what she did or behaved like.

Looking closely, her maid's dress was a little unusual in design. It has a turtleneck covering its neck. I've spent quite some time in the castle and I'm familiar with the clothes worn by the castle maid, but I can tell her clothes are specially tailored.

Serafita had a sad look on her face.

"Pieta was my first maid, so I was badly interrogated by the Holy King's Army that she had not seen or heard any royal secrets when she was dropped in Merynesburg. Fortunately, he didn't take his life, but he crushed his throat so he couldn't speak....."

In response to Serafita's sad face, Pieta shook her neck silently with a smile. I couldn't feel the grudge against Serafita in her expression. Having spent twenty years in such terrible circumstances, and rushing to find out that Serafita is safe, she must be a very loyal person.

"If you don't mind, could you show me a cut on your throat?

"Mr. Koske?

"Maybe we can fix it."

Because the sprint is originally a bandage and splint to heal a broken limb, I don't know if it works on my throat or neck. However, any old wounds will be repaired if the bandage is wrapped with splints, so I think it is possible to heal the area where the bandage is lost by applying splints like a neck.

Pieta was reluctant to accept my offer, but Serafita persuaded me to put my jacket on and expose my neck to us.

"... how dare you do this?"

It was a terrible scar. I don't know how she could have lived long with such a scratch. Maybe I used something like healing magic while hurting myself.

Speaking of twenty years ago, I wonder if Pieta was about mid to late teenagers. Having been crushed by her throat and being an outsider, she must have been forced to live a very hard and harsh life for the past twenty years.

"I just have to cure it somehow..."

She removes a recently active sprint from the inventory and wraps a bandage around her neck with splints. Why did Pieta put a splint on her neck? She had this strange expression, but when she finished wrapping the bandage, she suddenly had a painful expression.

"......! * Giggle *!

"Pieta!"

Serafita tried to rush over to Pieta, but Pieta took control of it with her hands and repeatedly took a deep breath whistling. As I watched the situation, I was reassured that it would probably have worked.

Eventually, the splints and bandages that were wrapped around Pieta's neck collapsed and turned into dust, which also became particles of light that melted into the air and disappeared. At that time, Pieta also regained her calm and exhaled deeply.

"Ah, ahh... ahh, ahh. Serafita-sama."

"Pieta!"

Serafita jumps and hugs Pieta, who speaks with a slightly unnatural pronunciation. I took the water bottle out of the inventory, opened the lid and gave it to Pieta, who was being held by Serafita.

It's water.

"What about me... when I'm done?"

Pieta drank the water she had received from me and checked her throat several times. Serafita, who has left Pieta, looks after her in a harsh state.

"Ah, ah, ah. Dear Serafita,

"Pieta!"

Serafita hugs Pieta again after the previous baking. Yeah, yeah, I'm glad it worked. After all, I feel like I'm on the right track to do something like this. I want to use my power in a direction that makes people happy and thankful.

"Thank you, Mr. Koske. I don't know how to thank you...."

With Serafita holding Pieta in her arms, she bursts into tears, overflowing with gratitude. Pieta also wept herself while wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.

"I've shown you something ugly."

Serafita, who has been putting on her makeup, sits in her seat again and coughs up one of the cophones. The cheeks were redder for shame than when I first visited this room. It is slightly red to the ears.

"Nothing really looked bad."

"... it's embarrassing to expose a good old woman to crying like a girl."

That's how Serafita inflated her cheeks a little. I think it's Sylvie and her parents and children. I mean, it's devastatingly cute.

"That's all, Mr. Koske. Thank you again for Pieta. Thank you very much."

"Thank you very much. I would like to serve Mr. Koske and Mr. Serafita until this is over."

Not only Serafita, but Pieta also conveys her gratitude in a fluent way.

"I'm glad it worked."

"I also feel like I can see that the Virgin and Archbishop of Adolphus refer to Koske as God's use. Your power to shake is like a miracle of God... and I hear you have something to discuss today."

"Yes, a special envoy from the Dragons Mountain Kingdom is coming to visit me and the Grande. However, I have no idea how to behave even if I am told to pray, so I was wondering if Serafita could give me some advice."

"I see, the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom? Certainly, in his country, he would like to pay tribute to the dragon, Grande, who took on the appearance of a human being, and his companion, Koske. For them, Koske and Grande have exactly the same relationship as the dragons and daughters, the ancestors of the country."

That's what Serafita nodded. Soon, the redness on her face also subsided.

"I don't think you need to worry about anything in particular when it comes to worship. From the beginning, I said that using the word" worship "is because from the beginning it is the lower position - that is, you are recognized as the superiors. In the first place, I don't think Grande cares who he's dealing with."

"That's for sure."

The only person Grande cares about is basically someone stronger than herself. Am I the exception, specifically Merty and Sylvie? But basically it's a thoughtful personality, so I hardly act tyrannically. Because if you behave too arrogantly and cause trouble around you, you will be defeated if you make it into Merti or Silfi.

"If I advise Mr. Koske, it means that he won't be taken lightly. They would definitely like to invite Mr. Koske and Mr. Grande to their country. Or perhaps if you had Koske and Grande's children, you would want them to be your son-in-law or daughter-in-law."

Are you looking for a child?

"Yes, I have heard that the blood of dragons flowing to the royal family of his country has faded considerably over the years. It's no wonder you want to take the blood of a new dragon into the royal family."

"... does that mean that in some cases you want Grande to be your royal wife?

In my words, Serafita laughed with a nice face.

"No way. I would definitely buy Grande's anger if I did that, so I would never say that. I also heard about Grande's appearance. No, I might say it too much. I don't think you'd say that if you had a decent nerve."

Well, that would be nice.

If the grande is cut off, it will literally be blown away, and there will be no such rough imitation. Or I'll blow it up.

"Just follow the minimum manners and talk normally. I'm sure you want to invite me to the Dragons Mountain Kingdom if you have the chance, so I think you should tell me when the time comes. What kind of suggestions will you make later? I can't read how they react to the dragons and people of my country... so at this time, I think they will probably propose to make a national connection."

"Is that a good thing to take at ease?

"They are abominably recognized by the Holy King for their power by the presence of a small but powerful Dragon Soldier, and they are seen at a glance from the Empire. I think it would be good for the new kingdom of Merinard to have the backing, as it is also a neutral country in the struggle against the two Powers. Perhaps Sylvie and Merty think the same."

"I see. I'll talk to both of you about that again."

"Yes, please do. My knowledge is twenty years old, so the situation may be changing now."

That said, Serafita smiled.

Having finished talking about the Dragons mountain kingdom, I decided to tea with Mr. Serafita for a while and leave the scene. But the driftstone was the ex-queen or something... and when I realized it, I was caught in Serafita's pace and enjoyed drinking tea. I promised to have tea with you again.

Is it ok? I'm scared it's going to be like this with Serafita.

Be careful. Yeah, she's my stepmother.
