Chapter 145 – Chapter 12 – A Passing Maid
“…”
“…”
Originally, after knocking on the door like that, ‘Who are you? Can I come in?’ Is normal.
If you do that, the employer inside will say, ‘Yeah, yeah. Come in.’ If you answer, you will come in.
However, the person who knocked on the office door did not say a word.
I just kept silent and waited inside for permission, at least for the question to fall.
“Who is it?”
In the end, it was Ashley who spoke first.
However, the other party still did not respond to the question of the Palatinat lord.
Ashley said to him, ‘I told you. It’s like this,’ she muttered and opened her mouth again.
“Is it Planche?”
“… Yeah.”
“He responds very quickly. Please come inside.”
As soon as permission is granted, the door to the office begins to open cautiously.
Beyond that, a demon woman dressed as a maid slowly moves her steps.
The most eye-catching thing is the silver hair that is so shiny that you can believe it was made by melting silver.
That alone already gave off a very strong atmosphere of mystery.
It overlaps with the appearance that gives a quite dreamy feeling, so I wonder if it is a fairy rather than a demon.
“…”
The silver-haired Demon Maid, Planche, walked quietly and approached Ashley.
As if asking why she found her, she kept her silence and looked at her.
Thanks to that, Ashley was the one who let out a sigh.
“Klaus, you’re watching too. That’s about it. Don’t speak There are no questions about yourself, whether you can enter, why you are looking for yourself, or anything like that. I do a good job, but really, that’s all.”
“…”
“Why are you not talking? Are you listening to me?”
“You’re listening very well, Ashley.”
Are you really listening? No matter how you look at it?
Ashley muttered that, then, uh, she let out a sigh and turned her head to Planche.
Then she asks her how much is left of her pact with the Palatinate.
“…”
Instead of answering, Planche seemed to be contemplating something, then quietly lifted one of her index fingers and carefully stood it in front of me.
Of course, there was no way that Ashley would properly understand her planche’s intentions.
“What does that mean? 1 year?”
Dori Dori -.
“One month?”
Dori Dori -.
“… One week?”
Nodding-.
Upon hearing that a week was right, Ashley screamed, ‘If you’re going to do that, you’d better raise seven fingers!’
What kind of guy would think of expressing it as a week with a black finger stretched out?
“… What is this all of a sudden, sister?”
“Planche, why did you call that child?”
“The great Commander Klaus sitting over there wants to find a maid. I don’t even know how the hell he’s going to take it, but I’ll just have to take him from our Palatina.”
Ashley explains the situation to her two younger siblings, asking them to explain why.
Thanks to that, Atley and Emily also reacted by saying, “What kind of ghost is that?”
Maid is not a job that can only be found in the East, and can be obtained in the West as well.
Even the job of a maid is a professional job, and it is absolutely not illegal, so no one can have a problem with openly hiring them.
But is it a maid to come all the way here and ask for a favor?
Wouldn’t it be much better to just pick one and sign a contract?
“Don’t ask, just do a favor, Ashley.”
“So you brought Planche without asking any more. Planche!”
“… Yeah.”
“How about signing that one week contract period plus the rest with that human man?”
“…”
“I will guarantee your identity for now. He’s not going to be a down payment taker, and he’s not ignoring you or approaching you with bad intentions. In fact, it could be even better than when I was here.”
Ashley grumbles at Klaus, but only says nice things to Planche.
Klaus, who knew that the current lord of Palatina was sincere, laughed inwardly.
“What do you think. I’ll give you the money for the contract with one week left. You just have to follow that man to the academy from today and listen to what he has to say. Are you thinking of doing it?”
“… Yeah.”
It took a while for the answer to come out, but maybe it took time because I was worried.
Or is it just that the answer is fixed, but it originally took time for that answer to come out?
Ashley grumbled, “I don’t know what the hell he’s thinking.”
“Go back and write the contract. Do not write here.”
“Either way, I thought so. You don’t have to worry about that.”
“It’s really embarrassing to talk to the end. If you’re done with your business, go quickly. You could really get caught doing this.”
“Sister? It’s already evening. Commander Klaus at this time…”
“That’s why I’m going to send it all the more at this time, younger brother. By tomorrow morning, the spy he released may know Klaus’ identity. What then?”
It’s obvious what will happen.
So, Attlee couldn’t say anything and just drooled.
Looking at the three siblings, Klaus told them to think carefully about his proposal.
They’re coming to Yulia anyway, although it’s semi-fixed.
Still, it could be said that shaking it one more time was much more certain.
Klaus got up from his seat after saying that he would see you again soon if there is a chance.
Ashley, who said she had no intention of seeing her off, wanted to see her off, but she couldn’t because there might be prying eyes, so she left behind Atley and Emily.
“…”
I glanced behind her and saw that Planche was following her with very quiet steps.
Maids learn how to keep their voices down if my employer thinks they’re noisy.
Still, in the case of Planche, it was too quiet, even the presence was too faint.
To the point that even Klaus would momentarily miss it if he wasn’t alert.
Heading to the back gate of the lord castle Ashley told you about, Klaus prepared to return to the academy.
It’s time to run without rest from now on to arrive at dawn.
There he was not alone, he even had to go with Planche in his arms.
“Flanche.”
“… Yeah.”
“It may make you feel bad, but this side also has its own circumstances. I feel like I have to go to the place I came from holding you, but that’s okay, right?”
“… Yeah.”
As expected, rather than an answer that came out after thinking about it, it just feels like the answer is slow.
A silver-haired maid from a demon tribe who has no idea what the hell is going on.
Just in case, I tried to reveal Planche’s inner thoughts, but all I could see was a sense of emptiness.
Unlike other women, she is still in a situation where she lacks information when she blindly uses skills.
When it came to this, I decided to choose the straight attack method, similar to Julia.
“Hyutcha.”
She had held many women before, but Planche was particularly light.
It’s a costume with little exposure, but it’s a maid outfit anyway.
When she thinks of running while holding a woman dressed like this, it seems that she is running away from a love that transcends her race.
“Flanche.”
“… Yeah.”
“First of all, my name is Klaus. Klaus.”
“… Yeah.”
“And from now on until I tell you to open your eyes, just keep closing them.”
“…”
“It’s okay to sleep, and it’s okay not to sleep. Just don’t open your eyes until I tell you to.”
The part where she is forced to make her abilities known to others.
Fortunately, Planche, who is silence itself, was the opponent, and once she closed her eyes, she couldn’t tell how things were going, so she would have to explain a lot less.
Klaus, who hit the ground lightly, began to retrace the way he had come.
Although flanche is said to be light, but still she is an added situation with a woman carrying some weight.
Originally, it was a skill that consumed a lot of stamina, but as the weight was added to it, after some time, Klaus’ breathing began to become rough.
‘… Damn it. After all, two is impossible.’
Even if she ran her horse, she was covering a distance that would take two full days with her two legs.
Even reducing it to just a few hours is a skill that, of course, consumes a lot of stamina.
It can be said that it is almost similar to when I had sex with Yulia for two days and nights.
As such, this journey was very exhausting and difficult for Klaus.
“Huh, huh…”
Sweat pours from your body like rain.
Still, it was Klaus who managed to get to the city where the carriages heading to the academy came and went before dawn.
‘Whoa. I almost lost my mind. It’s really hard to do this anytime.’
She said to Planche, trying to swallow her bursting breath.
Now that it’s over, it’s okay to open her eyes.
Then, the maid who was quietly in her arms slowly opened her eyes.
As she looked around her, she noticed that a lot of time had passed and that the scenery in front of her was quite different from that of the East.
“…”
But Planche didn’t ask questions like what happened to her or where she was.
I just silently shut her mouth and just stared at Klaus.
If you’re going to explain, do it, if not, as if to say no.
“First of all. This is the western part of the continent. We’ll soon take the first carriage in the morning to the academy. You’re staying there as a maid in charge of my professor’s office.”
“…”
“Second, everything that happened today is kept secret. As a maid whose contract is over, you followed the demons visiting the academy and then signed a contract with me.”
“…”
“And finally, no matter what happens, don’t be surprised.”
“…”
“Did you understand?”
“… Yeah.”
I’ve seen it a few times already, but it’s really frustrating.
A blank look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking, or what he was thinking.
It’s all the more frustrating because the only answer that comes out there is ‘yes’.
Perhaps Ashley, feeling frustrated by Planche’s appearance, was thinking of letting her go as it is without extending her contract.
That’s why Klaus couldn’t find Planche in previous episodes.
“Let’s go.”
On the way to the academy by taking the first carriage in the morning.
Unlike Planche, who was sitting up straight with his hands together, Klaus was completely stretched out on his chair, breathing slowly.
Thanks to the Indomitability skill, I was able to hold on to this extent, if it wasn’t for that, I would have been exhausted long ago, or if not, I would have completely fallen asleep.
It would have been nice if there was something like heat dissipation among the skills.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to take care of such a small detail.
Therefore, Klaus was recovering his physical strength, albeit a little, while panting in the heat that filled his entire body.
… Flutter, flutter-.
At that moment, I feel a very weak but clear wind somewhere.
Since the windows of the wagon are closed, it is never possible to come in from the outside.
Then, where does this wind really come from?
“…”
Flutter! Flutter!-
Klaus could see Planche, who was still sitting upright with his back straight, shaking his hands vigorously and fanning them.
On the other hand, the expression he is making strongly gives off a blank feeling without any thoughts.
The hard-working figure is the very example of a maid who works very hard.
When he sees it, he bursts out laughing.
It looks like Klaus is trying to help his employer as a maid since he is sweating profusely.
‘The intention is good, but the result is poor… No. It’s fine as long as it’s cute.’
What else should that woman do? That part is also a problem.
As expected, the biggest problem in the current situation is probably this.
‘… Come to think of it, what should I say to Yulia?’
