294 09 Huuta is called 100! (1/2)

--Kingdom Castle Aristocratic Quarter. Klingbloom Mansion.

On that day, Futa had been summoned to the mansion not by the landlord, Richter L. Klingbloom, but by his servant, Mion.

The soft scent of wood and stone, typical of new construction.

Naturally, he was ushered into the drawing room, not Richter's private quarters, which had become his hangout lately.

The first thing Mion did was bow his head.

First of all, I apologize for calling you here when I should have come to you myself.

No, no, no. I'm sure you're busy.

I'm glad you said that. Thank you, Corona.

Yeah!

Is that a yes or a no?

It's hard to tell, the maid accompanying Futa replied.

She raised her fist in the air, so it was probably more of a ”yes”.

Well...

A small cough.

The frequency of these meetings between Futa and Mion is not very high.

So what is the purpose of their meetings?

”How does the princess react?

”Well, that's just great, Lilac. It doesn't seem to be working at all.

Oh, my God. ...... That's great. I think we need to take it up a notch.

Is there more to ......?

Yes, there is. Our noble mission, yes. Our noble mission is to be on a never-ending quest. If there is a God in this world, I haven't even got my toes on him yet.

That's deep. ......

Yes, it is. This is the boss playground!

The two idiots clasped their hands over their mouths and exchanged words in a serious manner.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you have.

”General Mion Presents! ～How to play with your boss...

As a representative of common sense, Corona couldn't say what the theme was.

I muttered to myself from the side to express my displeasure.

”Can the maids play with Master Futa, too?

My complaint disappeared somewhere else.

I feel like Corona is playing with me a lot.

Is that so?　Maybe so. But the maid doesn't know how to play boss. Mion, Mion, do you have what it takes to be a maid?

Mion looked up and gazed at Corona closely.

Then, with a smile on his face, he stuck his thumb in the air.

We'll figure out a way to play with Futa next time.

”What, am I going to be betrayed?

”Betrayed?　I'm on the side of all my men - yes, General Mion.

I don't know what the hell you're doing!　Are you sure?　I'm going to collude with the people of this house and play with you, Mion.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. ...... I'm ready for that!

Why do you need to be so bold here ......?

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to try.

I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure what to say.

That's right. Let's stick to it.

”Stick it out?

I'm not sure what to do.

A fist-fighting tag team of subordinates. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Let's see. ......

The odds are very much against us.

I've already reported to you, so I'm going to change the subject and tell you why I'm here today.

”Speaking of which, Mion, why are you suddenly here today?

”Mr. Futa, you're not very good at changing the subject.

”You're so annoying.

So.

This is not the first time that Futa and Mion have had this discussion.

Futa doesn't think anything of his visit to the Klingbloom residence where Mion is waiting.

The only thing that bothered him was the fact that Mion had asked him to move up his schedule.

Originally, this meeting was supposed to be held after the second combat tournament.

I'm also going to participate in the tournament with Prim. I think I told you about it the other day.

”...... Oh, yeah.

I have a pretty good idea why I'm down, but I'll spare you.

Because I don't have any friends.

”The last time Aylan B. Smiles attacked ...... I realized my powerlessness. This is because I was unable to punish the woman who harmed Mr. Richter, for example. ...... Also, I was defeated by her head-on as a woman.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

He had heard that Arawn had joined the faction that had attacked Klingbloom's house, and that Mion had intercepted them.

And that he was defeated.

To Futa's eyes, Mion was a warrior who was used to fighting. He's also the type who specializes in assassinations and dark work.

That's why Futa was happy to hear her announcement. If he hadn't been so worried about himself, he would have been overjoyed.

This was because he thought that the place of the tournament would affirm her martial prowess.

It is possible that Richter will participate. As for me, I'd like to put all my energy into the tournament .......

Then she looked up.

I'm sure that's where you're coming from,” she said, and Futa listened to her.

I've been informed that an assassin of an old acquaintance has invaded the capital.

It's also...

To be honest, he is a dangerous man. He'll sacrifice anything to get what he wants. He'll do whatever it takes to get what he wants, no matter how dirty. That's what ...... he is.
