339 338. Guard Knight And Devil
“This way, please.”
This is the villa of the Scarfalot family.
Daria, guided by Jonas, stepped into the library next to the study.
Today was not a work in the armory, but a call from Goethe.
Together with Volff, I plan to see Ice Spider (Ice Spider) Short Wand (Staff) and Magic Sword Dark Night Slasher after dark.
However, Volff was slightly delayed by the lengthy combination of armor and knight’s clothes in the royal castle.
Jonas suggested the next room’s library to Goeed, who leaned his neck to see if he could drink too much tea before dinner.
It seemed like a small library for Darya, with history lined with geography, magic, and stories.There are also many heavy books that I would like to call luxury books and Aizo books.
“Wonderful… I don’t know which one to read.”
“If you have a favorite book, please bring it.”
Apparently he’ll lend it to me. Darya’s heart jumps out into an old magic book that is in sight.
“Thank you. If you don’t mind, I’d like to borrow a few copies.”
“Dozens of books are fine. Anyway, you can stay here and read it.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
I smiled at Goeed, who looked up at me from the next room.
I know it’s a joke, but with this, reading books all night long seems fun.
“Well, I’ll just look at a little more paperwork.Master Rosetti, pick a book here. ”
“I’m sorry to bother you.”
“No, the documents are the same wherever you look.Rather, the castle has a lot of visitors and is interrupted.I often write here. ”
I remember my predecessors at the company saying similar things in my previous life.
The attention of the visitor and the supervisor and the reports of the subordinates were finished, and the overtime hours were said to be real working hours – I hope they didn’t overwork and die like me.
“Jonas, if there’s a book Lord Rosetti can’t take…”
“No, there are steps and you can do it alone, so please do your job.”
The bookshelf is tall, but it has a big step.I can get enough of Darya by myself.
I don’t want to interfere with take-home work.
Goethe asked me if I wanted to call a maid, but if I could, I would feel free to choose a book by myself – and Jonas returned to the study asking me to call me if anything happened, whether that thought was clear or if Jonas left the door open with a fist.
So Gouid and the others started to turn the papers in the study, and Darya turned to the bookshelf.
When I put on my white cloth gloves, I gently carried the oldest magic book to my desk.A black parchment with a blue and silver decorative frame was quite heavy.
When I tried to open the cover, I heard a knock in the next room.
“Excuse me.”
“It’s unusual for you to come here. Is it warm?”
In response to the man’s voice, Goeed answers to his affection.Maybe he’s a friend of the Scarfarot family.
Darya decided not to listen and opened the cover.
“Lord Gouid, I’ve been asked to escort you to the Marquis.”
What’s it like?
“Jonas may remain a servant.However, we recommend a replacement for a regular guard knight.If you can, please have a noble child who can also serve as a guardian knight and counselor. ”
“The friction will certainly decrease if the children of the high nobles act as counselors in our rising home.But it’s too much trouble for you to lend me that much. ”
Well then, at least take the son of the nearest throne to the Guard Knight…
It seems that they are recommending the replacement of the Guard Knight, but I can’t hear any of Jonas’s voice.
Whether or not to go to close the door so as not to hear it, or rather stand out, Darya breathes without moving.
“As a butler, you lack Jonas as my guardian knight?”
“That’s not true.With all due respect, Lord Jonas is a demon who is generally regarded as dangerous.Even with high abilities, there are examples of adventurers who died in magical runaways.In case something happens… ”
“Lord Gouid, forgive me for speaking.”
At that time, the voice of Jonas finally came out.
“Yes, I do.”
“I understand your concern.However, this person has a “superior contract” in the shrine.If Lord Gouid orders you to die, I will obey you immediately.In the unlikely event of a runaway, your heart will stop at your command.Please rest assured. ”
“‘Superior Contract’…? Why did you do that?So, are you not a sinner?! ”
“It’s what I want. I don’t want to be a nuisance to the Lord.”
A cold voice echoed without any straying.
Darya chews her lips gently.
I have heard that the restrictions in the superior contract – the shrine contract – are quite severe.
He said that he would fully obey the other party’s orders and even if he was ordered to die, he would respond.
I only heard of it in the explanation of the shrine contract, but I don’t know who actually received it.
In the past, there have been cases of being inflicted on magical sinners.
Probably insurance against a runaway as a devil.
Otherwise, Goethe and Jonas wouldn’t be able to laugh at each other like that.
“I understand Lord Jonas’s readiness… But if you are a servant, you will surely blame the devil for being a guardian knight with a sword in the royal castle.If you’re the Marquis, you’ll be able to point your fingers everywhere.I don’t think it suits you, but please reconsider, Mr. Goode. ”
The butler’s plea was followed by a period of silence.
After that, there was finally a sound of Goode squeezing the chair.
Even if you try not to listen, the sound gets in your ear.
“… you served my grandfather’s house.I trusted you, too.Since I was a kid, I’ve been taking care of you a lot. ”
“… Master Gouid”
“If you change your mind, go to the territory with my father.My uncle in the Territory isn’t feeling well either.My father is not alone. ”
The tone was gentle, but it sounded terribly dry.
“Please wait, Master Goode! The summary of the main residence…”
“Shut up, Jonas.”
Goethe took control of Jonas’ words as he tried to stop him from going to the realm.
There was no voice to go on.
“Now, do you need to send a quick reply to our competent butler?”
“… I accept it”
“The next butler will ask your son.”
“But my son is still young and inexperienced.”
“It’s your son. There’s nothing to worry about.”
The butler leaves the room, greeting Gouid as usual.
Darya finally took a deep breath at the sound of the door closing.
The cover of the book is closed, and the sound of patterness sounds unexpectedly loud.
The sound was followed by a loud opening of the door.
“You told me a sick story, Lord Rosetti.”
“No, I…”
‘I didn’t hear anything’, as a noble woman would say, that would be the manners.
But in front of the door, I was curious about Goethe, who was making a laugh, and Jonas, whose rusty eyes lay down behind her.
Neither Jonas, who chose to be enchanted to be strong, nor Goethe, who made him a guardian knight, nor the butler, who worries about it, is bad.
“I… I’m glad Professor Jonas was your escort, but I hope it will continue to be so…”
I don’t know what to say, but it took the form of the past, and I hurriedly said it again.
Thank you, Dr. Darya.
Jonas told himself without changing his expression.
“Thank you, Lord Rosetti, but in fact, I don’t think there’s a better escort than Jonas.”
Goeed’s smile turned into a prank.
“Jonas used to be shorter than me.When I said I wanted to be a guard knight, the butler told me to study and be a servant because my body was too small to be a shield.I was told to put on another Guard Knight. ”
“Really….”
“But Jonas is a knight with roots.While studying as a servant, I trained as a guard knight, doubled my meal trying to grow my back, hung around the edge of the room, and started drinking bad milk every day… ”
“Don’t talk too old, Lord Goode.”
Jonas, who sounded a hollow cough, stopped the Lord.
What a desperate effort.In this way, Jonas is a few centimeters taller.
“Well, as a result, both the Guard Knight and the Servant became perfect.”
“That’s amazing. It’s also the work of the armoury shop manager.”
Jonas is doing both, even though it is hard for either.
In addition to that, I joined the work of Skulfalot’s Armoury Store Manager.Unless I’m sorry for causing you to get involved.
“Ah, Jonas has been a baron since spring, and I’m worried about how much I can add to my salary.But apart from the biggest problem….. ”
I can’t somehow hear a voice that resembles a sigh.
Turning to Jonas, he narrowed his rusty eyes.
Then, ask the Lord with a slightly stiff expression.
Master Gouid, are you still talking about my adoption?
“No, it doesn’t matter.For me as a coward, what would I do if I were told that I could not serve the Lord too much of your work in the meantime, Jonas? ”
Jonas loosened his expression to Goeed, who asked with a smile.
And I gave it back with an unprecedented bad smile.
“Who misses a good feeding?”
