Chapter 150 – Chapter 12 – A Passing Maid
When I first heard that, I thought it was nonsense.
Could it be that a secret group targeting him is using that woman as bait to lure him out?
If that’s not the case, is it a ploy by political opponents to find a gap in themselves and dig into her?
A beautiful maid with shiny silver hair and purple eyes.
One could think that Klaus had more than enough women to touch.
So even if she thought about that part, Klaus had no choice but to be more careful.
But as time passed, she realized that something was wrong.
She has absolutely no back tummy, just a really normal life. She is and she is a woman who has lived the life of a maid.
Her ability is definitely amazing, but compared to that, she didn’t reveal herself, and even those who were very close to her didn’t know the true value of Planche at all.
Most of all, she didn’t do any work in advance like other women, but from the moment they met, Planche did her maid work with all her dedication.
And the day I finally treated her as her lady, not as her maid.
Klaus learned why this woman was looking at him so favorably.
‘I never thought that the part that was created because of me would have such a tendency.’
Unlike other characters, Planche was a person who came up with something out of the blue and disappeared after appearing again.
Klaus was guessing that maybe that part was the reason why he showed infinite affection for himself as the creator.
Even if you do her preliminary research, look behind her, and use her skills to look into her inner thoughts.
No suspicious parts were found anywhere in Planche.
She was just a maid armed with her mind that she wanted to do more, that she only wanted to be a woman dedicated to Klaus.
“A very unusual maid. Planche. Did you just want to meet me for no reason?”
“That’s right.”
“Did you know that that answer might arouse suspicion in her?”
“I know.”
With an unwavering expression and gestures, Planche answered like that.
That saying that there is no reason is ridiculously true.
It can be said that from the moment she just existed, that woman was set up to have a crush on Klaus.
A character who was created with a lot of selfishness, appeared briefly, and then disappeared.
That part led Planche to the instinct to approach Klaus, who could be called the creator.
‘The problem is that it gets worse and goes to a slightly dangerous stage…’
The part that she would do anything for Klaus is similar to other women.
However, the problem here is that he is a character who suddenly intervenes, so he is a character who doesn’t care about friction with other people.
No, going further, she was transforming into a character with a tendency to have the mindset of wanting to exclude other women.
It’s not that I don’t care at all, so I don’t openly fight bloody battles.
In the episode where she first met Planche, she had a rough fight with Caella.
And even, in that battle, it was Planche who had a slight advantage.
Hororok-.
Taking a sip of coffee, Klaus looked at Planche.
Fortunately, it’s not yet unmanageable or at a level where you don’t know where it will pop out.
There is a certain lock called Klaus, so he can lock a passing maid at any time and set it to ‘unlock by touching’ only when necessary.
On top of that, Yulia was the Demon King who would be his strong backing, Natasha would act as the link to the fairy side, Cecily would officially serve as the Demon King’s servant, and Kaela would serve as the commander of the army.
For those reasons, when time passes, I can’t treat it lightly like the academy life now.
But Planche doesn’t have that and just continues to work as Klaus’s maid.
If there is someone right next to you that you can trust, who only thinks of you.
Even if it wasn’t just her work ability as a maid that was excellent, if everything else was perfect.
From there, it could be seen that the story had already ended and a decision had been made.
“… If you break the employment contract…”
“No. Are you going to cut it already because it’s been a few days since you hired it? If you went to a faraway place and brought it back, even if you can’t do it, you have to use it for about a month to make it good for me and you. Isn’t it?”
“That’s right.”
This time, it was Planche who answered right away without hesitation.
Klaus, who got a strangely positive feeling from her appearance, decided to tell her what to be careful of from now on, having confirmed her intentions.
“Just Planche. If you are going to be my maid, there are a few things you should be aware of.”
“You mean Klaus-sama is always first?”
“Don’t do that. Isn’t that natural?”
“Or, in an emergency, to open a path for Klaus-sama.”
“Why are you doing that? I will do it even if I do, and there are many people who will do it even if I don’t.”
“… If so, what do I need to know?”
“Do you remember all the women you met earlier?”
Then Planche blinked her eyes for a moment, then slowly nodded her head.
When Klaus asked them to pick one, they said that the blonde fairy was Natasha, the tiger beastman was Kayla, the demon woman who came in after that was Cecily, and the last one that appeared was Yulia.
Apparently, while talking with Klaus, he had figured out their appearance and even their names.
As expected, she deserved the title of “Passing by” As a skilled maid.
“Be as careful as possible when dealing with them.”
“Are they the ones who could harm Klaus-sama’s safety?”
… What is he talking about now, the words linger on the tip of her tongue.
Just as she is about to say something to Planche, she notices a chill in her eyes.
The feeling, she said, was as if she was asking, ‘It’s annoying even if it doesn’t, so can’t I just kill it?’
Klaus immediately shook her head vigorously and added that she should never do that.
“These are my people. They are important people to me.”
“… Were you not a guest?”
“Not even a guest. Anyway, don’t take it lightly. Got it?”
“… No matter what, I have no choice but to always think ahead of Klaus.”
“One of them is my master.”
“To me, Klaus-nim is my only master. Above all, no matter how much you are a master, isn’t Klaus the owner of this place, not them? It is natural to observe the minimum courtesy, but they…”
“Flanche.”
With her stern voice, Planche immediately relinquishes her menacing spirit and returns to being a polite maid.
Then she said that if it was an order given to her, of course she would follow it.
Certainly, he’s weird too, and even if he’s weird, he’s very, very strange.
As she muttered that to herself, she lifted the cup of coffee, realizing that she had consumed the contents within a moment, and sighed, she licked her lips.
It seems that you are drinking to an addiction level beyond the level of your favorite food.
I thought maybe I should reduce it a bit, but after drinking it a few times, I couldn’t.
So, I ask Planche for another cup of coffee.
Then she quietly got up from her seat, and after a while with a rattling sound, she brought another cup of coffee properly and she set it down in front of him.
“In a little while it will be mealtime.”
“Yes?”
“Too many drinks are not good.”
It was Planche who said that while looking precisely at the coffee cup in Klaus’s hand.
It looks like it’s not good to drink! Don’t drink! It seemed like he was shouting fervently with his emotions, so Klaus cleared his throat unconsciously.
“It’s a bit strange to ask such a question since it’s only been a day. What do you think?”
“… You mean here?”
“Yes.”
Silence for a while. And, having finished her thoughts, Planche opens her mouth.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Good, bad, okay, I don’t know yet, well, these weren’t the answers.
It doesn’t matter, it could be said that it was completely unexpected for the person who asked the question.
“Does not matter?”
“Good or bad, it doesn’t matter.”
“… The reason is?”
“Because Klaus hired me.”
The reason is true, it seems desirable, but it is also not desirable.
As she gazes at Planche in silence, she asks the question again if he is serious about his answer.
The silver-haired maid nodded her head with an unwavering look in her eyes.
“They said there was no reason, so it really seems like that. I want to believe it, but I still don’t believe it.”
When the line was deliberately drawn like that, Planche responded that he knew that.
Then he asks how can I trust him.
Klaus said that her question was obvious, and then explained the details.
“From now on, just do what I tell you to do, and don’t do what I tell you not to do, Planche.”
“It is not difficult. We will try.”
“Sometimes you can have a maid do something slightly unrelated to her job.”
In the previous episode, Klaus had once ordered Planche to assassinate him as a test.
I was told to get out immediately if I was caught or it was judged that it was impossible to break in at all.
Also, in case of an emergency, Klaus himself even secretly followed her.
But Planche said to drop all such worries, as if she were bragging to Klaus.
She assassinated her opponent so perfectly that she even cut off her finger as proof.
Planche felt joy in those parts: the fact that he had completed the task his master had given him, and the joy of killing the guy who was bothering Klaus with his own hands.
Since then, she hasn’t been asked to do anything other than maid work.
If circumstances were not right, she might have to make a similar request.
“… You mean something different from the main job of a maid?”
However, upon hearing that, Planche’s expression strangely changed.
Her lips are slightly twitching, but she is still holding her hands together in a respectful manner, but her fingers are wiggling together, giving off a very suspicious look.
At first, I had a lot of trouble because I didn’t know what that reaction was, but it’s not anymore.
How is Klaus on the inside? He sighed and looked at Planche.
“If what I’m saying is correct…”
“Arthur.”
At least that Cecily seemed a bit shy.
From the start, Planche had her eyes shining brightly, as if to say that she was looking forward to it.
It was the usual reaction when I pretended not to, but was anxious to attend the night.
That sneaky maid was showing it the day after they met.
‘Not yet, this woman. She has no justification to even touch the maid, she has no justification.’
Natasha, Cecily, and Kayla. All of them had a suitable cause for Klaus to hug.
There is an exception for Lire, but she is not yet a woman, but her toys and junk food are her limits, so let’s leave it out of the question.
Anyway, as Julia spent time with the three women, she realized that they all had important parts to her and to Klaus.
That’s why they made a slightly alarming request to be moderate in their approach to Klaus, but they didn’t raise their blades and growl.
But Planche is not yet.
Didn’t she even give a clear warning when Yulia left a little while ago that she wouldn’t just sit back and watch if she did something stupid?
There was no way she didn’t know that it wasn’t just for Planche, she was doing it for Klaus himself as well.
“Flanche.”
“Yes, Klaus.”
Planche still has a pretty intense look as if expecting something.
Klaus poured cold water on him as if to wake him from a dream.
“Go clean up.”
