Virtuous Old Man, SSS-Rank is Confirmed in Your Next Life

He took Locust's egg back to his study, put it on his desk, and he was glistening at it.

When I thought I knocked him down, an unexpected challenge came down.

There's no way you're gonna crack it.

Well, I don't know what to do.

Concon, and the door is knocked.

"Go ahead."

"Excuse me."

When I answered, the maid leader Amelia came in.

With Amelia here, I decided to switch my head for the first time.

"Good day, Amelia. What happened to her?

I heard about Chaucen.

He left the disposition of Chaucen, the first culprit of the Locust thing, to the maid director Amelia.

She should have come to report it, so I urged her from this side.

"I'm being selfish."

"It is."

"Every once in a while, he said, 'Who do you think I am', so I was wondering if it would make sense for the moment."

"Can you handle it?

"I did (,,,)"

Amelia speaks clearly.

Since ordering the maid chief, I think she's growing rapidly, too.

Now I even feel pierced.

"There was no reason to reveal Eliza's identity, because above all, she threatened to go upside down. I have also ordered Elizabeth Golden Age, the Duke's Lady, to act as executive officer."

"Hmm."

"This one revealed its name. We seemed to know each other's names. Even if you bring up the family, they are perfectly equal to each other in the Duke's house."

"Put some people on Elizabeth's follow up, just in case. She's the only one on the table."

"I understand. With Alec's orders, we will all raise our hands to compete."

"Really?

I know you won't say no, but I'm a little surprised you asked me to compete.

"The maid principally feels absolute obedience, no, supreme joy that there is an order. Not if the Lord is with Alec."

"Oh well."

I nodded, and I got what I was talking about, and I gave additional instructions.

One case of Chaucen, that concludes the report.

I was concerned that Amelia's expression, which made the report, was slightly shadowed.

"What's wrong, Amelia?

"... it's complicated"

"What?

"Is this a good idea, and the feeling that it's okay as it is, is intricately intertwined"

"What do you mean?

"I'm glad you can't manage one of your maids while Alec is entrusting you with the head maid."

"Oh well. Never mind. Yeah, sometimes people like that."

"Thank you"

In my words, Amelia, her expression only slightly brightened.

"What makes you think it's okay to stay like this?

Amelia gave a prestigious, somewhere suggested look.

"One selfish daughter to that extent is known to make her do it. Alec wouldn't do that."

Amelia said as she glanced at Locust's eggs, which were placed on her desk.

"I see."

Now this one's in a complicated mood.

If you have that much credit, you'll have to respond and you'll get tight.

"Well, I'll take care of the rest. Don't be mean when you have to. Tell me right away."

"Thank you!

Amelia left the study with pleasure and graciousness.

Be alone and face the Locust eggs again.

It's not because Amelia expected me to, but I started to think again that I had to do something about this.

"Ah."

My voice leaked.

As if inspired by my intentions, the eggs shook up on my desk.

After shaking like a tremor, the shell began to crack bitterly.

Eventually, the eggs broke completely, and from the inside...

"... puppy?

There was a puppy-like creature in the shell of an egg that had become only the lower half.

If you look closely, there is a shadow of Locust.

I can somehow imagine that if this were hundreds of times bigger, it would be that locust.

"And I knew I was upset."

"-!"

The moment I snapped, the puppy - the mini-locust shook my body in a freak.

"Do you understand the words?

- Plump.

Locust shook his head like he was frightened.

My - no, it's obvious that I understand human language.

The figure doesn't look very much like that disgraceful dehumanization of destruction.

So I, too, spoke gently.

"It's okay, I'm not gonna do anything terrible."

Locust glanced.

So I rolled out of the egg shell and circled around on my desk.

When you get back on your feet, Locust is.

"Oh, thank you"

And I've said it, even though it's an aside.

"Why are you thanking me?

"Because I remember. Thanks for stopping me."

"Oh, you carry your memories with you."

Use the power of the divine.

See the soul of Locust.

Indeed, the colours of the soul are together.

If you are to be reborn into a monster like that, it is something whose soul is gradually purified in multiple reincarnations, but the soul of Locust remains the same.

Not at all (,,,,) different. It doesn't seem to be a reincarnation through heaven.

"Yeah, I remember - all (,)"

"Huh?"

The word "all" in Locust had weight.

Responsibility has piled up, such weight.

"I, if I stay like this, will annoy human beings again... and they will hate me"

"It's okay, that's not true."

"That's what they used to say to me"

Locust said with a crying face.

Once upon a time.

When the previous locust was still small, did anyone reach out the same way?

And to say that that's the form of the past...

"But when I grow up, in the end,"

……

"So...... thanks!

That's what Locust said, he jumped off his desk, opened the door against his body, and jumped outside.

"Wait!

I followed it and jumped out into the hallway.

Locust desperately fleeing with four short legs, there was a group of maids ahead.

I've been here recently, lady maid face.

"Guys! Stop that kid!

"Your husband!?

"You just have to stop it"

"I will capture you!

When my voice arrived, all the maids caught Locust, even though it seemed strange.

I tried to escape, but I can't escape with the same exercise ability as my short hands and feet as a puppy, and Locust gets caught.

But.

"Yikes!

"Maid clothes melted!

"Ah, even my underwear!

The temper that Locust's body releases constantly.

The maids are snuggling in to catch them, so the maid's clothes melted over there and quickly turned out to be none of them.

"Let go, not like this, guys"

I'm not letting you go.

"Yes, it's your husband's order."

"Ha, I'm ashamed,"

"What..."

Locust that gets decent.

I was confused by the maids who were supposed to burn their clothes and their skin, but still didn't want to let go.

In the meantime, I'll catch up.

"Thanks, guys"

So, I got a locust from the maids.

"Glad!"

"That's about it if it's for your husband!

"I don't even spare my life!

I looked away softly wondering what that was, while magically fixing their maid's clothes and healing even the slightest burn.

That's how I see Locust.

"Why..."

"I won't throw you out, no matter what."

"What..."

"So are we!

"I'll do anything your husband orders!

"I don't know, but I'll take care of it!

The maids gave me a comforting cheer.

After listening to our words, Locust eventually burst into tears.

"You're so sweet."

"Yeah, that's right."

"I do."

blocked words that deny themselves.

I thought I shouldn't even let you talk about it anymore.

"Here's my body, but my heart is so beautiful. That's how you worry about us."

……

"But you don't have a good name. We're reborn from eggs, so let's give it a new name."

"Apparently...... name?

I thought about it a little bit, then I said.

"Lotus. It's an old word that means' lotus flower '."

"Low...... tas?

"You know what? Lotus flowers grow only in muddy water. Beautiful water, don't grow straight, it will sink forever in the water"

"Muddy water......"

"But, you know, blooming flowers are about as beautiful as never staining mud. It's like your heart."

……

"So you're Lotus now."

Makes sense to give it a name.

And the name I, the divine, gave (secluded) with the ritual, has more effect.

At the next moment, Lotus' body emits light.

My temper stopped sharply.
