The Villainous Daughter’s Butler ~I Raised Her to be Very Cute~

Play Light and Darkness Espressivo Part II 5

A few more days had passed and it was finally the night after which the cultural festival was withheld.

The cultural festival is three days in total. Tomorrow is finally the first day of the stage, as the student council plays for three consecutive days. Lady Sophia summoned me on such a night.

"I begged you to call me, but what happened at this late hour?

When I visited the room, the lady was dressed in jersey. From that appearance, I understand the out-of-the-box appeal that you want me to accompany you in practice.

"Lady Sophia, tomorrow is the real deal. Nights are not good for you."

In today's rehearsal, His Royal Highness Alforce and Alicia also showed corresponding performances. Since I started learning from Isabella, I have improved my vertigo and acting skills. Tomorrow's production will show us more strength than today.

Yet, Sophia, I can't laugh if the lady does a nasty act due to lack of sleep.

"Right. But at the end of the day, I'd like to have a little more understanding."

As a final reminder, Fol's desire for everyone to exchange theatre. I guess I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen. I feel a sense of impatience from the current lady.

"... you can't stay up too late, can you?

I tried to laugh brightly and moved to the training room with Lady Sophia.

Lady Sophia starts acting in a big gesture she didn't show in the beginning. I can't tell from the passenger seat that it's a normal trick. Therefore, the acting is just right enough to exaggerate too much.

That's how I learned it from Isabella.

Drawing on that experience, the lady plays the role of Elvir more daringly than usual.

The prince's heart moves away from himself. Knowing that, Elvir just keeps purely wanting the prince to see himself, to love himself.

But when he finds out it won't come true, Elvir thinks:

- Even that kid, if he's not there.

The lady's act is truly imminent, beautiful as a deep red rose, and then has thorns that hurt those who touch her.

I sighed with admiration after checking out the whole act.

"That's great, Lady Sophia"

"Thank you, Cyril. But this isn't just my acting skills. It's easy to get emotional because I know how Elvir feels."

"Oh, yeah..."

I still feel that Lady Sophia has a memory of being a villain's warrant. Otherwise, the fact that the current Sofia lady has the qualities to fall into darkness.

Horrible either way.

"Elvir was just wrong."

"... just the wrong means, the others were right," he said?

The Dark Fallen Elvir worked evil enough to be named the Villain Lady. The original girlfriend had just reason to sympathize, but the script of the play doesn't say that much.

I find it strange that a lady who empathizes that she just misuses the means.

"Killing Aurelia won't get the prince's love. If you want the prince to turn around, you should polish yourself, root around ready, and create an environment where your surroundings can hold you back."

The lady is running it - and of course she doesn't talk about it. What to wish for and where to go is for the lady herself to decide.

The lady repeats herself to me in silence.

"I think Elvir went the wrong way because he didn't know what that means."

Sophia, that's how the lady closed.

I can empathize with that idea. At the end of the day, the villain warrant lady was a child.

"I would not be ruined. Always find a way to fulfill your purpose. So then... will you help me?

Sophia, the lady squeezes her little hand tightly and looks up at me. Those anxiously shaking amethyst eyes only reflected my appearance.

"I promise. I'll be sure to help you."

"Is it true?

"Yeah, sure. I'm Sophia, your daughter's personal butler."

"... Cyril is mean sometimes, after all"

Show a slightly obstinate look.

Such a Sophia lady is adorable and I just loosened my cheeks a little.

"... what is it? Why are you laughing?

"No, it's nothing. Besides, it's time to get some rest."

"...... ha"

There's no way a lady scratching her sweat is going to sleep dressed like that. Having prepared myself for a hot bath, I entrusted Luche with the Sophia lady, who looked a little obstinate.

Morning of the Cultural Festival.

Together with my classmates, I was in the courtyard doing a final check on the class offerings. Incidentally, Class A of the Servant Course hosts an open cafe with a courtyard.

Some will think it's cheap, but it's not.

We're first-year servants, the majority of whom are undecided.

Therefore, a cafe that can show its ability to serve and install is an iron plate in an iron plate. Competition is fierce because every class wants to play cafe - but Class A is a head-on challenge.

Besides, it's not just opening a cafe.

Crepes for sale by Liberto via His Royal Highness Alforce. In order to increase its visibility, it is to be sold in large part in this class.

This time we made luxury materials, sell them as nobles and millionaires. Sophia, I will not forget to advertise that it is a treat by a new recipe, given to His Highness the Alforce by the lady.

This is expected to bring together those who want to bond with the royal family and the Marquis.

As a result, the name of the crepe would spread instantly in the wealthy. At the same time, spreading that fact even in the civilian class - selling crepes that have cost less for the civilian population, in full.

This is the plan that Liberto put in place based on my proposal.

Naturally, the burden of Class A, where many nobles would come, would be greater, but the class A folks, mainly Luke, undertook it with pleasure.

Thank you for preparing the big stage, that's right.

Luke and the others did the setup perfectly, as the reliable line suggests.

Drawing on his experience in setting up the last freshman welcoming party, Luke successfully shared roles to successfully motivate his classmates.

And Luke's assistant, Rymond serves.

I still didn't think Rymond would have enough credit, even if he didn't have any problems with his abilities. That's why I didn't say anything.

Luke decided to convince his classmates.

And Rymond also lived up to that expectation. I used my experience of leading a group of courtyards at a freshmen's welcome party to try to cope with Luke's way.

It was Luke who brought up his classmates, but it was Rymond who connected the two groups.

- Learn from failure.

Apparently Luke's master's education policy.

And according to Luke's words, a master is Foll's educator.

And perhaps...

"Chloe, can I ask you something?

Talk to Chloe, who was checking a table lined up in the courtyard.

"Oh, it's so unusual for Cyril to ask me a question. I wonder what?"

"No, I was tempted to say that Luke and I were corrupt, but I actually secretly thought..."

"Huh?"

I was seen with cold eyes.

"Excuse me. This is a joke."

"It wasn't funny at all?

"You're tough. Now let's get down to business. What I want to know is about your master."

"I'm telling you, you can't tell me who you are, can you? They're shutting me down."

"Yeah, I know. Luke told me."

When I let her go, Chloe looked at me like she didn't know how to ask.

"I was a little concerned because Senior Fol valued me highly. So I'd like to ask, for Chloe, do you prefer that master?

"... you just said it wasn't funny, right?

"Right, excuse me. We will disperse you before you lose any more mood."

Flip yourself as you say.

But just before I left the scene, Chloe grabbed my arm.

"... what is it?

"Answer me. What did you find out?

"I don't know what you mean...?

"Don't be ridiculous. You said you wanted to ask me something, didn't you? Yet you tried to walk away just asking a joke question. It's not like I didn't have anything to do with it...

Chloe is still excellent.

They realized I served my purpose with as much interaction as I did earlier.

"It's no big deal. Just a quick confirmation."

If you don't know, you can't help but misunderstand. But a reaction you wouldn't have misunderstood if you knew. Nonetheless, Chloe made that misconception.

So I grabbed the identity of 'her'.

I didn't even intend to be informed of that fact that drew the information, but it seemed like a failure to just walk away from the guilt of withholding the information in confidence from Chloe.

That's Chloe.

In this hand interaction, Luke is one or two steps ahead.

"... answer me. What did you hear from me?

"It's a secret now."

"- So you think I'm convinced?

"You don't think. So I'll just say this. Lady Sophia has a sincere admiration for Senior Foll. Therefore, I will never harm her."

Chloe's staring at me.

I took that gaze straight from the front.

"... if that word is a lie, I will not forgive you"

"Let's remember the liver."

I've finished my conversation with Chloe, and I'm going back to work, and I'm going to check for any deficiencies in the setup.

I have always helped as a member of my class when my hands are free, but the shift tables are well thought out and I can afford to deal with unforeseen things if they happen.

The setup is solid, and will get high praise from visitors.

"What, are you sneaking up on it?

"Don't say anything misleading. I'm just a part of the class right now."

It was Dr. Tristan who spoke up.

When it comes to setting up cultural festivals, all I can do is help. I intend to receive honors as a member of my class, but honors as a representative belong to Luke.

"That's what you said, and if there seemed to be a problem, you were going to speak out, right?

"It's the teacher's role, not mine."

Think about Dr. Tristan while clearly stating that he doesn't intend to take away the handles. It won't be a coincidence that there has been a lot of contact between him and me, Foll's father's butler, these days.

My surveillance is Luke and Chloe. And Luke decides I'm safe - and keeps me alert, and another human being monitors me.

It's a constant means of thoroughly monitoring your opponent.

Speaking of which, I didn't thank you.

"... thank you, is it?

"It's about Miss Foll. Thanks to you, it's been a lot brighter lately. I'm guessing you found life in doing theatre."

- I said thank you was about Fol, but I didn't say it was about finding life. Read behind those words what Dr. Tristan thanked you for.

"Sophia, the lady liked her, that's all"

"... right"

Now Dr. Tristan silenced. From these words, I guess you're trying to see if I'm beneficial to Senior Foll.

Dr. Tristan is cautious and doesn't let him read behind the words. I decided to step in thoughtfully when I felt it was not obvious.

"Do you like tea, Dr. Tristan?

Dr. Tristan looked lightly at my inquiry. Then hoist up the edge of your mouth and show me a grin that's going to come out on the stills of the game.

"No, your brewed tea sounds delicious. Where did you learn how to brew?

"I'm self-taught. If your teacher wants you to teach him how to brew, I'll tell you, won't I?

"... right. If you get a chance, please."

"Opportunities are things you make for yourself, right?

Therefore, the same is true of saying no at a time when you don't try to create your own opportunities.

"Well, you are. But it would be nice if you brewed it then, wouldn't it?

"I refuse. My lord is Lady Sophia, so I'm not free enough to bother brewing tea for you"

"You and I are friends."

"If you really want to say it, why don't you even make it for your lover? I'll teach you how to make delicious tea, won't I?

"... an extra favor"

That's what I said. Dr. Tristan was laughing. Around suspending the edge of his mouth, he looks like he's thinking bad things, but that's probably the kind of act.

Tristan in the making used to look bad like that.

"But...... right. If you want, can I brew it for you for once or so?

"Right. Let me also drink it on the last day of the cultural festival"

"... you don't mind after the cultural festival, do you?

"Oh, I don't mind. After the cultural festival, let me take your pride in the milk tea."

"Okay. We'll take care of the steps."

Having installed the necessary promises, I went back to setting up my class with a light foothold.

And the cultural festival has finally begun.

Help the class open cafe in the morning and travel to the auditorium for the stage in the afternoon.

Incidentally, it is named the Cultural Festival, but its content varies considerably from course to course.

Whereas courses of servants have a lot of cafe-like content, courses of nobility have a lot to do with the social sphere, and courses of the civilian population have a lot of merchant shopping.

What you're trying to say is that the student council that uses the auditorium is a minority.

Therefore, plenty of time has been taken for the student council. I made an early entry to confirm the tools used in the theatre.

The tools to be handled on stage include the holding tools used by the actors and the placement tools to be installed on the stage. Besides, a background curtain or the like exists. It is impossible to make all of them in this short period of time.

Many of them were rented from theatre troupes to which Isabella belongs.

The Espressivo of Light and Darkness, a tool of performance that does not exist in this world, should have had a lot of difficulty preparing, but Isabella's troupe did well.

Face to face at the tool storage area on the stage sleeve, there was a customer there. I'm just a little wary of why she's here.

"Mr. Isabella, what are you doing here?

"As professional actors, it's natural to check the tools we use, right?

Just a little surprised.

Isabella laughed cously as to whether that had gotten on her face.

"Is that so surprising? Though I'm not on stage, I think I'm one of those people who practiced with you... for you, am I still an outsider?

"No, that's not true"

She has coached me enthusiastically this past week.

It is true that she is working for me more than the rewards she has received.

"I confess because it's you, but I wasn't really going to coach you this far at first. It felt so good to watch over the noble children and get patrons."

"Do you want a patron?

I'll just put in a little exploration. I get a stepped in answer to such a trivial question, but I need money to send it to my hometown.

"My hometown is a cold village. But everyone in the village was nice like family, and when I left the village to join the troupe, it was really good for me."

"... you want a patron in return," he said?

"Yes, it is."

There is no guarantee that her words, which are good at acting, are true.

However, a number of points were made.

As a matter of fact, at the time of her candidacy, I'm looking into her personality, etc. So I also knew Isabella was sending me to the village.

I didn't even know why I sent you... but I'd be happy to give back to my hometown.

Civilians in this world, especially peasants living in villages, are never wealthy. It must have been incredibly hard for my daughter, who lives in a cold village, to move somewhere.

Perhaps he financed the travel expenses and so on in Village Guru.

At the same time, I can imagine that I am sending enough even considering the amount. She seems more courteous than I thought.

The truth is...

"You suspected me, didn't you?

Ha, breathtaking. Because she said what was on my mind. Apparently, she's better at one or two of these hand readings.

I apologize if I offended you.

"I don't need it. If you serve someone, it's natural to be vigilant around them. Besides, it wasn't off-target."

"What is it..."

"I had a request. From an unidentified opponent."

Apparently, someone has been in contact with her in the days since she became a mentor. The man said he had done a fine job on the prop and told Lady Sophia to scratch her shame.

"For once, I thought I should keep it in your ear."

"... thank you"

Sophia, there are not many people who hold grudges against a lady, including rebellion. But not so much if Isabella is a person who can move in a few days when she becomes a mentor and can ask for money.

Ten or eighty-nine, you would be a student named to the electorate.

We should have shredded our forces in the last case, but that turned out to be the opposite of buying resentment.

It seemed like it was just harassment this time, but in the game, the electorate has sinned against him and executed him. We're going to need to be even more vigilant in the future.

"... Isabella, aren't you going to be hired by me?

"Hire? That doesn't mean you're a theatre patron, does it?

"Yeah, it's a different matter."

Isabella is good at seeing through people's performances and reading minds. Being involved with a variety of human beings as actors made me think it would be appropriate to gather information.

"I mean, gather information while you continue to act as you have, and report potentially beneficial information to you. That's good."

"... that's light"

"I took this request because I trusted you."

"Yes, you did."

The captain was wary of me visiting the troupe that day. But Isabella, who asked me some questions, asked me a favor because she felt confident in her eyes.

"Okay. Let's get a formal contract later."

We're on the verge of doing it, but now more importantly, we're going to start confirming that we're ready for theatre. That's how I moved my hand, and I remembered what happened earlier.

"As much as you said earlier, you weren't really going to coach me so far at first, but what kind of change of heart is that?

"You'd understand."

Isabella laughs cously.

Seeing the ladies for real, you'd say you wanted to cooperate. I know how that feels because I'm the person on the side who wanted to see a hard-working lady and raise more too.

"That's what I'm saying, so if you have any problems, talk to me about anything. Except I can't help your daughter get in a good mood."

He walks away with a throwing kiss with a flirtatious smile. The moment I tried to tilt my neck about what was going on, I felt an unspeakable killing from behind.

Looking back under the pressure of cold spines, there was a Marquis Lady Sophia smiling.

"... Lady Sophia, what's wrong?

"Does Cyril prefer a luscious sister?

Fucking straight pursuit came. I would like to ask where the far-fetched rhetoric as a nobleman ran away from home, even though it is a marquis docile behavior.

"Answer me. Cyril prefers a woman like Isabella?

"I think she's an attractive woman."

We have lived for more than thirty years together in our previous and present lives, but it doesn't feel like our spiritual age is thirties.

As well as getting old, it would be normal to be able to raise the age of the woman of choice. But because I was reincarnated, my heterosexual preferences haven't changed much since I was a student in my previous life.

My feeling is that the lady is the younger girl, Isabella is the same age girl.

"... even I'll be big in a few more years"

Sophia, the lady groaned pompously. She looks obstinate, and the lady looking down at her body is incredibly cute - but it seems a little further to acquire the charm of an adult.

It was hard to indulge in an inadvertent blowout.

But, Sophia, the lady's right. In a few more years, Lady Sophia will grow from an adorable girl to a beautiful woman.

So...

"I look forward to that."

The lady blinked. But its cheeks stain slightly. Perhaps you understood that you were hearing yourself whine. Turn around a little shy.

With just one word of mine, the anger of jealousy seems to have been fogged.

Then check the props with the lady in a better mood.

Isabella said it's only natural as a professional actor to check the tools she uses herself. But, Sophia, the lady is Marquis. It is unusual to check on your own because it is normal for you to let your servants, your hands and feet, check the tools you use.

I guess that's all the lady confirms herself is that she wants the theatre to succeed.

"Sophia, you seem fortunate to have met Senior Fol"

"Yeah, I think so too. So... you don't have to get sick anymore."

took a lot of breath.

What she must have pointed out was that she was hiding Folle's identity and body. Sophia, it's something I hid believing it would be good for your lady, but if you say you're not guilty, you're lying.

I just didn't think Lady Sophia would see that through.

"I am sincerely grateful. And now I want to make theatre a success with Seniors Fol. So you'll cooperate, won't you?

"Whatever you say, lady."

If that's what the lady wants, it's my job to do everything in my power to help.

Nevertheless, I did everything I had to do.

No matter how many school year president Sophia ladies and fouls, they can't even make it to theatre. Needless to say, His Royal Highness Alforth and Alicia - many will think.

So today, I prove the idea wrong. The Sofia ladies get the best of the best in an act that no pros can beat.

With such a happy ending in mind, we prepare for theatre. Eventually Alicia shows up, then His Highness Alforce shows up.

Each wears a costume for the play and gets ready - but only Folle didn't show up.
