Chapter 67 – Butler’s New Weapon ②
What a weapon, what a cleaning tool.
The ground at a considerable distance outside the garden was gouged out.
“A… Alfred, you went too far.”
“I-I’m sorry, Young Master! I didn’t expect it to be this powerful… This is a ‘Sacred Tressure’ class.”
No way! Did I really create something like that so easily? Amazing, worktable. But with this much power, it’ll be easier to conquer dungeons and deal with external enemies.
As I was thinking that, Skor and Havamar burst out from inside the house.
“Rasty-san!?”
“Big brother, what is this…”
“Ah… I’m sorry, both of you. It seems I’ve made a weapon.”
““A weapon!?””
We returned to the house and explained everything in the living room.
Both Skor and Havamar were surprised and convinced.
“――That’s the situation, there’s no danger.”
Skor breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Is that so…” while patting her chest. Havamar looked at me with a weary expression and said, “good grief”1. I felt a little embarrassed by the unimpressive and cute expression.
“I’m truly sorry, Skor-sama, Havamar-sama. I will be more careful from now on.”
Alfred politely apologized with a bow, but… it seemed that even he didn’t expect the outcome. His whole body was trembling. He was really shaken up.
◆
Afterwards, we disbanded and returned to our respective rooms.
I went to bed alone… That’s, right. I have to do something about this bed too! My back gets stiff every day, it’s tough.
As I was lying down, I heard a knocking sound on the door.
“Come in.”
“E-Excuse me for intruding.”
While lying on my back, I align my gaze with Skor’s eyes. Even in the dimly lit room, those jewel-like green eyes stare at me. …What clear and beautiful eyes they were.
“Skor… What’s wrong ―― Wait, huh?!”
Skor sat down next to me and then leaned her body against mine. Caught off guard by this sudden action, I was deeply shaken. My heart started beating violently, and my body rapidly heated up. …What’s going on all of a sudden?
“…I want to stay like this.”
“W-Why? You have your own room, don’t you?”
“I want to be together… I feel lonely.”
“Lonely? But we’re in adjacent rooms. We can see each other anytime.”
“That’s not it. It has to be this closeness. It just won’t do otherwise.”
I could feel her hand tightly gripping mine. She trembled slightly, and her cheeks flushed. Come to think of it, humans have something called a “personal space”, which is the discomfort they feel when someone gets too close. It refers to that kind of space. But between Skor and me ―― it seemed like there was no such distance.
Even today, we had been together, laughed together, and even now, we shared the same floor.
What is Skor’s existence to me…?
A girl I saved in the palace?
An elven girl who washed ashore on this uninhabited island?
A Holy Maiden who supports me?
――No, maybe it’s not just that.
Skor has become an irreplaceable existence for me. Because of Skor, I am who I am now, and she provides me with emotional support. I love her ever-changing adorable expressions, her soft words, and her casual gestures.
Ah, yes.
Maybe I should be a little more honest with myself.
I hugged Skor’s petite body tightly――.
