Return of the Former Hero

Chapter 25. Former hero?speaks with the princess

Ever since we entered the castle, I have been using search continuously.

Not with my full strength, just for an area of about 50m around.

Although it’s troublesome to continue releasing magical power despite being a minute amount throughout, there is no loss in being cautious just in case.

There are 2 indicators who are approaching this room.

Probably, Leon might be coming.

“It seems that they have arrived.”

“Is that so?”

The butler says, and Princess Rithina answers.

Did that butler know that Leon had arrived too?

As the magical power for search is minute to the extent of integrating with the drifting magical power in nature, the fact that I’m using it is not exposed immediately.

The butler might also be using the same kind of magic.

The door opened soundlessly, and Leon and his female knight companion entered.

The maid opened the door without notifying those inside, is that because the butler can grasp what’s happening in the area?

“I came late, princess highness.”

“Excuse me. I am knight Aura?Rose. I have come along.”

Is that female knight Ms.Aura?

Her long, black hair brings on an adult charm.

No, her age does not seem that much different from me.

I do not know the size of her chest because of the armor.

Although it doesn’t seem to be too large.

Incidentally, the princess has considerable volume.

I want to be sandwiched between them.

Well, I was just nursing a delusion.

It will be an extremely troublesome thing if I make a move on the princess.

No, was it the 3rd princess?

Although I do not know the faction level among the royal family, I wonder if it’s good to proceed if it’s about that?

To have a princess-sama as a partner……

Rithina who has no experience is bashful, but nevertheless, she sits on the bed.

She cannot conceal her uneasiness.

To assist such a Rithina, a maid waits on her from the side.

I gently pin her down, and surrounded by maid around us, I receive all the pleasure of this world with this body.

Uwa, it’s amazing.

A sumptuous feast. Or Utopia?

No, in reality, it’s not something lewd. Yup.

“I have been waiting.

Now, please take a seat too, the 2 of you.”

“Yes.”

The 2 sees Laurier and have a slightly bitter look.

However, that is just an instant.

I understand those feeling.

After that, we talk about the request this time.

Well, in short, it’s the matter of having me train the hero’s group.

Yunikram and, was it Ms.Caroline?

Those 2 seem to be away on official business, and for the time being it’s the 2 of them, Leon and Aura.

For a period of 3 months.

I was told that 3 months later, there seems to be an operation planned to recapture a fort or something occupied by demons.

Legally speaking, Leon was going around the country to increase the familiarity with the hero until then, and although he was accumulating observations and actual combat experiences,

he was beaten up viciously by the demon race who appeared suddenly the other day, and it seems that he strives to undergo a thorough training.

“Amagi?Haruto-sama.

It was truly good that you were staying at Torres.”

I was praised by the princess.

It’s a good feeling.

“Today, it’s the third time I’m meeting you right.

Thinking about it now, when I first met you, it means that I have done an impertinent thing.

There was absolutely no need for something such as my assistance.

Although it’s at this late hour, I will apologize.”

Leon begins to apologize.

“No, such a thing like that.

Anyway it’s different if the result turns out bad, and it isn’t necessary to apologize for simply trying to help someone.”

I do an adult follow-up.

The adult me, aren’t I cool? And showing off my enigma, I glance at Sharon across,

but it seems to be not much due to her tension.

In addition to money, the reward for the request includes the guarantee of food, clothing and lodging in the castle.

And depending on the outcome of the training of Leon’s group too, there is also a request to participate in the recapturing operation of the fort.

Frankly speaking, I do not want to participate in such an operation.

Although I do not want to do it, but when I’m asked with an uneasy and concerned expression from the princess, it’s hard to refuse it indeed.

For now, putting the participation in the operations on hold, I convey the meaning that we will be granted freedom afterwards regardless of whether we participate or not.

“Then, for the meantime, provide guidance to Leon’s group please.

And then, to support the livelihood of the 3 of you, I have prepared a lady attendant exclusively.

Mina.”

Lady attendant? What’s a lady attendant?

Is it something similar to a maid?

Eh

An exclusive maid?

Seriously? Alright!

I had thought there would naturally be a maid, but exclusive huh.

Exclusive maid.

Doesn’t it sound good?

Even when my tension sprang up in a go, a maid enters from the entrance.

It’s the young woman who was waiting at the front of the door not long ago.

Is that girl my exclusive maid?

No, not mine, but ours.

“I am Mina. Hereafter, I will have the privilege of assisting everyone.

My best regards.”

Ah.

This girl, she is from the beast race.

Although I didn’t see it well a while ago, I could see something like a cat’s ears decorating her head.

Isn’t there a tail? I looked at her bottom hidden behind her skirt, but of course I couldn’t see it.

Because Laurier was translated from Loli Baba’s tone, for the case of cat-race beast man, it would be sentences ending with ‘Nya’, and although I was looking forward to it, there were no such things.

“Although she has just came to the royal palace, because her age is close to everyone, I think it will be easy to instruct her one way or another and decided to have her take it up.

There is no need to worry as she handles work seriously.”

The maid who was waiting behind Rithina opens her mouth for the first time.

That’s so.

I am hesitant to say this and that to someone too much older.

Although Laurier doesn’t seem to mind at all.

“Well then, the talk has become a little long.

Everyone is tired right?

Please have a good rest today.”

Finishing the main points of the talk, Rithina ends the talk and let out a chuckle when looking at Laurier.

Aaa, if this smile was directed, guys would fall.

I am attracted too, and looking at Laurier, she was dozing off drowsily.

This fellow, as said, when I was thinking she has really behaved herself, she fell asleep.

Well, it’s good that she didn’t say anything unnecessary.

“E, Excuse me, princess highness.”

“No, it’s alright.

And, it will be fine with just Rithina for me. Amagi?Haruto-sama.”

“Eh?”

Really?

I wonder if it will be fine calling a princess this way?

Because the person in question says so, it should be okay?

When I was thinking what’s to be done, the looks from the butler and maid at the back are painful.

If you addressing her without an honorific or something like that, you understand right? Those eyes say so.

It seems like somebody could kill by those eyes.

However, if it’s said by the person herself, it would feel rude to call her princess highness on the spot in front of her eyes.

“Errr……I understand. Rithina-sama.”

I tried adding a -sama.

It seems like an acceptable point. That’s what I thought, but the glance of those 2 was scary.

What? Is that no good!?

I cannot take it back anymore since I said it once.

“Oh. Thank you very much.

Because for everyone until now, nobody called me by my name. I am a little glad. Ufufu.”

Awwww, cute.

And, did other people not call you by the name?

That is, such pressure coming from behind is placed on me.

Even the hero calls her princess highness.

“That’s good.

Rithina-sama too, please call us as you like.”

I can’t help what was said.

Even the person herself is pleased too, let’s accept and stick with this.

“Oh! Is that so?

Then, Mr.Haruto. Ms.Sharon. Ms.Laurier is fine?”

“Ah. I said to call us as you like, but is it okay to call me with a -kun?”

“Haruto, kun. Is that it? Ufufu, that’s good.

I am somehow like a friend.”

She is pretty happy.

I like to be addressed with a -kun after all.

However, I seemed to have gotten carried away in the moment.

The eyes of the butler and the maid are super scary.

Well…, you guys are also someone who serves your master, be happy that your master is delighted.

“Then, please excuse us for today.

Laurier. Oi, get up.”

I shake Laurier lightly to wake her up.

“N? ……. already, is the talk over?”

“That’s right. It has ended.

For now, greet Rithina-sama.

Then we’ll leave.”

“Nn? Oh, is that so?

Rithina, please take care of me for a while.”

Ah, this fellow, addressing her without any honorific.

I saw the eyes of those 2 shining with a glare.

I wonder if they will approach with a night assault, seriously.

“Yes, please take care of me from now on, Ms.Laurier.”

“Yea!”

This fellow, the manner of reading the atmosphere is not worthy of respect.

“Hey, Sharon do it too.”

“Aah! Y, Yes! R, Rithina-sama, please treat me well!”

Since I address Rithina-sama as such, Sharon continues calling her that too.

“Yes, My best regards. Ms.Sharon.”

As Rithina seems to be glad somehow, let’s assume it’s good.

I wonder if she doesn’t have friends of the same age?

It’s not something like bonds of obligation, if she can get along well with Sharon and Laurier, I think it would be a good thing.

I also want to get along well with her too, in a different meaning, Fufufu.

“Then, I will guide you to the room.

This way please.”

Mina who was waiting for the talk to end, address us at a good timing.

“I understand. My best regards to you too, Ms.Mina.”

“Please address me as Mina. Haruto-sama.”

“I see. Please, Mina.”

“Yes.”

And, we separated from Rithina and Leon, and is taken by Mina to our new residence.

Mina address us with a -sama.

Will you not address me as master?

It’s regrettable.

In truth, I am not her master.

Someday, I want her to call me master.
