The Villainous Daughter’s Butler ~I Raised Her to be Very Cute~
One for the lady.
After school that day, I took a trip to the Student Council Room with Lady Sophia. When the lady enters the room in the usual flow, she makes her voice play "Wow".
But I have confirmed that there are no strange signs in the room, and more importantly, Lady Sophia's voice sounded somewhat happy, and I didn't feel the urgency.
Therefore, I checked the room with a calm bare gesture - I missed my face unexpectedly.
Student Council office.
There's a doll made by Frau's puppeteer on that desk - no, let's just say it's clear. It was decorated with figures of me and Fol who played the play, Espressivo of Light and Darkness.
Apparently, Fol got it funny.
Me, who served as Prince's understudy, and Foll's figure, who played heroine from day two. Those two are decorated as if they had performed together on stage.
"It's Cyril, Cyril!... Why are you staring at each other with Senior Foll?
"Lady, it's a doll, not me."
I want you to stop asking me with a face that's about to fall into darkness. I'm careful not to let the lady fall into darkness, but I can't even take responsibility for the figure's actions.
"Well, I knew Sophia would be interested."
"Senior Foll, you seem like a very elaborate doll, but what happened to this?
On the other side of the desk, loosely - or a lady asks Fol, who is nibbling.
"It was made by Frau's puppeteer. I'd really like to make a figure of all the stars of the Espressivo of Light and Darkness, but they can't make noble dolls because they can't get permission."
"I see, I mean, you want my permission," he said?
You're pinned, Sophia. The lady laughed deeply.
"I can't thank you so much because I'm only a civilian puppeteer... but I'm telling you that I can give you an Espressivo figure of light and darkness, all series or so, if you want."
That's a lot to think about again.
There are few mass-produced products or the like in this world. Figures should also be made by hand one at a time, so just making one should take a lot of time.
I want to thank you for the whole series. Sophia, how much the hell do you assume a lady's figure will add...?
... Well, I know someone who might even buy it in exchange for gold of the same weight. The question is, Sophia, what does the lady think of selling her doll?
"Right. I don't think we should give permission for something like this, but it's also a theatrical memorial, and only this time, let's give it a special permission."
As expected.
Fol is false in his identity, but in fact he is royal.
Sophia, you're listening to your ladies, but it's not preferable for the Sophia ladies to refuse at a time when the royal family is issuing permission to produce.
It would be the result of considering the area.
Wrong shouldn't have just been caught by figures.... maybe.
And, well, as soon as I was thinking about it, Foll took out the contract. Everything is in order except for Miss Sophia's signature, which is all around ready.
After I checked through my eyes to make sure there was no problem, Lady Sophia signed for it.
By the way, in addition to the contract, we had all the minutes of the Honorable Alicia and Alfors. Apparently, Lady Sophia was the last.
"Did you give permission first that there are already Cyril or Senior Foll dolls?
The lady who finished writing her autograph puts on her little neck. To that grunt, "No, it looks like you were making your share of the civilian population without permission. But......" trivializes the situation.
Sophia, the lady immediately showed her understanding, "Is that what you mean?"
Senior Foll is supposed to be a civilian with the back shield of a nobleman, but his identity is a royalty without any decency. I can't blame you if I find out you made a figure without permission.
That's why I rooted for permission.
I think I noticed that fact.
"Yeah, I decided I was going back in time to give you permission. By the way, Cyril should also choose a thank you figure."
Senior Foll tells me and reminds me.
... With that said, I was also asked to pick some figures for consideration. I didn't think it was necessary... but I came up with just the right use.
Later with the lady...... let's order some Fol and Alicia figures.
Not so much then, the members of the student council assembled.
The original student council acted like a royal faction. Therefore, once the cultural festival is over, there is nothing in particular to be done when the current student council is gathered.
However, we need to teach the art of releasing magic as a countermeasure to Foll's magic overdose. Student union members are supposed to meet once every three days or so as a cover around the area.
So I can say it's inevitable that I deal with everyone as a member of the Student Council. I can tell you, I really remember His Highness Lancelot's advice.
The princess and the butler of the other house.
It can't be normal for those two to deal with each other as senior juniors. Continuing this kind of relationship is seriously going to turn His Highness Lancelot against the enemy.
I guess that's how I got on guard. Shortly before the gathering was over and dissolved that day, Fol was ordered to stay when he needed to talk for a moment.
"... So, what's the story?
Me and a student council member other than Fol have already left. Of course, Foll's servants are not physically alone because they remain, but in a way I can say they are alone.
Lady Sophia was a wind she didn't care about, but Her Royal Highness Lancelot would decide so.
In that sense, it's a situation I'd like to avoid for a while... and I think, "What are you on guard against?" and I was tilted in the neck.
Apparently, he found out he was avoiding it.
"No, especially"
"You think you can delude me with that excuse?
"I don't expect you to delude me, but I think it might work."
You've conveyed your intention not to ask me, haven't you? and shrug his shoulders.
"You seem to have forgotten, but you are the benefactor of your life? You won't be able to stay away from me, will you? Did I cause you any trouble?
If it bothered you, it would improve, so talk about it. It's not that Foll bothered me, but it's the same thing that tells us about His Highness Lancelot.
"Actually, I met with His Highness Lancelot the other day."
I expose that it's not even a story to hide until I mislead Fol.
"To Lancelot? Did he cause you any trouble...?
"No, I was thanked for the seniors. Your Highness just warned me that I was after Senior Foll."
"Did you take me? Well, Lancelot says a lot of funny things."
Foll gave me a little laugh, but I can't help it.
It's too unrealistic as a story for a civilian butler to want a royal princess.
"Of course, let me deny that there are no such horrible things, and I was once convinced, because still, the suspicion doesn't seem to have cleared up completely..."
"So just in case, you were avoiding me."
There was relief in Foll's face when he found out what was going on. Because you found out you weren't avoided by me because of it, right?
Apparently, I was giving Foll extra anxiety.
"Sorry, I should have talked to you first"
"Well, I'd be happier if you did that next time. But it's not about you apologizing. In the first place, you'll soon know who you're thinking."
"... because I am Lady Sophia's dedicated butler"
I say that it is natural to think of the Lord.
"Oh, I didn't say anything about Sophia, did I?
"It doesn't matter who Senior Foll spoke of, because it doesn't change who I'm supposed to be dealing with is Lady Sophia."
"Answer without it, it's not funny."
I say it in a teasing tone.
In a way, the usual foul, but only this time, I need to stab the nail.
"I'm sorry, but don't make fun of me that way either. As a matter of fact, Ernest, I suspect you're after Miss Sophia."
"-"
Foll sifted his shoulders, concealing his mouth with his hand, which was about to blow out. I'd say it's a serious lapse in Her Royal Highness, but the maid who refrains behind it is also turning away and trembling.
Apparently, I'm stuck in a bump.
"Lancelot warned you were after me, and Ernest warned you were after Sophia.... Totally, you're an interesting butler."
"... we are delighted that you enjoyed it"
I was sarcastic that I wasn't doing it to entertain Fol.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not making fun of you, am I? I'm impressed by how much you appreciate being alert to the weight of your identities."
"... you're absolutely right"
Not on a level like electorate or commoner. It's impossible in this country for a butler to be bound to Her Royal Highness the Princess or the Marquis.
Two people in a position to understand that are alerting me to being a butler. That would also mean, conversely, that's all you're buying my abilities.
... or maybe that's just not my credibility.
"As far as I'm concerned, I'm glad you're appreciated as a benefactor... but then you're in trouble. Good. I'll tell Lancelot from me."
"... please"
Don't do anything extra, because it twists - and the line I drank up to my throat was close. Because it's going to be even more troublesome to talk about.
"Still, you're supposed to be a lot more interesting. That's a lot different from what Dr. Tristan told you about the development, isn't it?
"... it"
I looked out for him by accident.
It's not the same development Dr. Tristan was telling me about. That is, because it was the same with Fol suggesting he knew about the eve festival.
I knew that Dr. Tristan had been a woman in his previous life. And maybe he also knows that I'm a reincarnator and that Dr. Tristan's previous life was my sister.
"... How far does Senior Foll know?
Foll laughed at the inquiry and lowered the maid a little. Of course, it's not a distance that makes you deaf to that extent, but it conveys a willingness to be a story you don't want me to hear.
"I know Dr. Tristan very well. But I don't know my destiny about me. Thinking about it... do you have a future where you and I can bond?
Confirmed.
If a man who doesn't know anything hears the current line, he'll think he knows about Dr. Tristan, but if he doesn't know his future, he just said the facts.
But for me, being a reincarnator, it makes a whole lot of difference.
I also know that Dr. Tristan is a reincarnator and that this world is a world based on maiden games. In time, I haven't been asked anything about my future, meaning.
"I didn't even imagine such a terrible future."
While informing us that the original game does not have such a scenario, at the same time it suggests that the current developments have already left the scenario significantly.
"Well... I guess you're the reason I'm here."
The conversation flew a little.
From the nuances of the words I said I hadn't even imagined, this situation I saved Fol is irregular in itself. Therefore, you guessed that it was your statute to die.
That's Dr. Tristan's godson where he reads a lot from a few conversations.
"I just did what Lady Sophia wanted. So I think you helped because you kept trying without giving up."
"Still, thank you."
"I've already received enough gratitude.... is the release of magic better than that?
Excellent at magic resistance, Fol has difficulty getting others to absorb magic. I am therefore learning from Sofia lady the technique of releasing myself.
Ask if there is anything wrong with that. Most importantly, I heard from the lady that things were going well, so I asked purposefully because I wanted to change the subject.
I don't know if you realize that, but Foll has been on the subject.
"... right. It's easier to consume magic than before, but there's still a bit of strain left. Of course you can't release as well as Sophia."
"Sophia, your daughter has been practicing since childhood. It will take a while for Senior Foll to be able to release the same."
"Well... it is"
That's what Senior Foll said, magical power from his palm - putting light particles up. Sophia, if you think about the lady releasing magic from her whole body, she does look inefficient.
The high level of magic resistance may also be affecting releasing magic on your own. Even if you don't use magic all the time, it seems to be quite a strain.
"Senior, shall I leave you a little out of your magic?
"Oh, really? It would help if you would."
Foll looks happy anyway. I guess I still had the corresponding burden. Sophia, it's hard to tell because you're just like the lady and you're good at hiding.
"Because of this, let's combine the practice of releasing magic"
Take a seat with each other and face Foll. That's how I held her hands directly from the front.
"Be aware to release magic from both hands, not one. Because I draw magic out of my hands just as I aid it."
It is surprisingly difficult to release magic from both hands. Because we have to distribute consciousness in each hand that we should have concentrated on one hand until now.
For example, it's not that hard to write letters with either your right or left hand or one of them. However, writing letters simultaneously with both hands increases the difficulty.
Same thing.
Besides, it's not as complicated as writing separate letters with your left and right hands.
Fol, who had constantly started witchcraft to consume magic, is able to use witchcraft unconsciously, so he would be able to do it if he even grabbed a hang-up.
And as I expected, if I gently pulled the magic out of him, Foll started releasing the magic on his own. It's still a faster level to release with one hand, but it's definitely letting it release from both hands.
"... eh. This is... pretty tough,"
"Right at the beginning. But it'll be much easier if you get used to it. Besides, if you can release it from both hands, it's the same procedure to release it from the whole body."
Good luck and absorb the magic released with encouragement. At first, I pulled it out, but now I'm absorbing what Foll released.
"We do have releases... but the releases are insignificant. How can we let them release more at once, like Sophia?
"You can only call that a habit there. It's the same thing that builds muscle with training. Of course, there are efficient training…"
Suddenly it will be difficult to release large quantities. The line through which magic passes in the first place is narrow - its passage has not been widened in order to allow only a small amount of magic to pass usually.
All this has to do is push it out a little bit.
"I'll let you release it once and for all."
It absorbs magic all the time that it will be an exercise in passing many magic at once.
"-"
You're surprised at the feeling of being pulled out of the magic, and Fol trembles frighteningly. That's how I pulled out the magic, and accidentally the door to the student club room was knocked.
It's Alicia's voice that sounds at the same time. Probably forgot something. If so, it absorbs magic when there is no problem because the maid handles it.
And...
"What are you doing...?
From behind, the voice of His Highness the Bottom Cold Lancelot sounded.
