84 13 Huuta is a maid! (1/2)

--Sometimes it's hard to believe.

For a girl named Luli Earthnote, her father was the world itself.

From the beginning of her memory until now, as far as she knows, she has had only one father.

That's a happy thing, I guess.

At least, until she can laugh off the fact that he is not her real father as a trivial matter, she can simply trust him as her father.

But...

But because she has been loved and cared for by her father alone, he is the only reason for her to live.

Traveling alone with a child. A father who would have done anything to protect her, no matter how dirty.

Ruri doesn't know that background.

So...

”I finally found you, WindEarthNaut!

I'll make sure ...... I'll make sure your head is on a platter!

...... What, the kid's here?　Just in time, I'll bleed him to death and then strangle you with his guts!

Many times, I saw my father, who was always holding a grudge against someone.

In the smell of the fire and the blankets.

In the smell of horse grass and straw.

Sometimes in broad daylight, in my father's chest.

He was always the recipient of the intense hatred that darted into his young eyes.

Why, stop, forgive him.

Since the time when she could not even express her feelings in words, Ruri had always seen her father as a man who was resented by people.

Whenever she was in a difficult situation, she would smile and say.

I'm sorry for giving you a hard time.

It was true that Ruri's body was weak.

Ruri had no way of knowing that this was inherited from her mother.

How could such a kind father be resented, hated, and attacked by so many people?

Maybe... Could it be that I, like my father, would be killed by something bad?

I still remember the look of grief on his face when I expressed my doubts to my father in a few words.

Yes. Even at that time.

”Are you all right? ...... Ruri...... you at least......

My father was still smiling as blood spilled from his mouth.

I felt like I was really going somewhere far away.

--For a girl named Luli Earthnote, her father was the world itself.

For a girl named Luli Arsnott, her father was the world itself. ...... No!

And when that father goes away...

What should Ruri do?

A deep-seated fear left a sharp imprint on her chest.

A curse that would always beat, sometimes with a strong heat.

--King's castle, Futa's room.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

When Futa returned to his room with Ruri in his arms, he found a maid with a big smile on her face.

Do you want to take a bath?　Do you want to take a bath or a shower?　Or do you want to take a bath?

Do you smell that bad?

Not at all. Not at all. Not at all.

I mean, you don't have showers, but you don't have bathrooms.

Yes, there are. There's a big one in the castle.

That's for royalty only. ......

Peck.

The room was neat and tidy, not a speck of dust except for the soggy bed.

She had probably been lounging on the bed until Futa came home.

Until a while ago, even if she did, she would have used Rokujutsu to quickly make up her bed, but it seems that she has changed her mind and doesn't use Rokujutsu much these days.

There was nothing that bothered her, and she didn't seem to be inconvenienced by it, so Futa didn't ask too much about it.

Anyway.

”You're not very good at this, are you?

There's a sleeping girl, that's why.

”Oh, you're sleeping so happily. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it.

Even though she was being poked with her fingers, she didn't seem to wake up from her deep sleep, which was a relief.

It's a good idea to have a good night's sleep.

In the event that you have a nightmare, it's a relief to know that you're sleeping peacefully, but that's about it.

The maid is softer than you.

Where are you two competing?

Do you want to touch it?

...... What?　Well, okay.

Squishy.
