Her smile was …… so different from her previous joyful smile.
“So, I’m sorry about today, Shuji. Mei. Take him home.”
“I understand,……. Shuji sama, thank you for helping Yuzuka sama this time. Here is our thanks to you. If it is not enough, please call this number.”
The maid then handed me an envelope filled with 10,000 yen bills and a business card with her contact information on it.
As I looked at the envelope, I could not get Tachibana’s lonely expression out of my eyes.
It was because it resembled the faces of those guys.
It coincided with the time when Leticia, Ferris, and Lianna cried to …… me that they didn’t want to die.
Haaaa……
I let out a big sigh and then. I scratch my head.
I wonder why …… there are people everywhere who have problems with something like this.
And why do I feel like I want to do something about it?
“Can I ask for another reward?”
I ask Mei as I hand her back the envelope and business card.
“….. another reward?”
“Yeah…… Tachibana.
If I were your knight, would you be able to live a normal life?”
“Eh?”
Tachibana’s eyes widen in surprise and she looks at me.
Now, just now, I am embarrassed.
When I went to destroy the gates of the demon world, I did it on my own, so I didn’t have this embarrassing feeling, but this time the situation is different.
“If I can become a knight and …… help you live a normal life, even if only for a little bit,……, well, I’ll help you.”
“…… will you be my knight? What if your normal is a little far off?”
“Not really. At least that’s …… well. I’m just me and I want my own normal life.”
It’s too late for …… now.
For the sake of the young people who have a future, it would be better to lend them a helping hand.
And well, I was looking forward to a normal life, but life under this young lady seems like it would be fun too.
“Yay! The performance was a success!”
“Okay, cancel the contract!”
“No, no, no! Take care of me from now on, my knight!”
I let out a sigh as I accept her hug with a smile on my face.
…… this young lady might not be as honest as I think.
What…..the act is a great success
She probably has a personality that needs to tell jokes to get attention. It’s her way of enjoying every day.
I’ve been around enough people to know if she’s lying or not.
I’m not so dumb that I can’t see through her jokes.
I have become a bodyguard named Knight of Tachibana …… and will be living in this mansion from now on.
For now, it seems that Mei is going to release me from the contract of the apartment I am renting now, and she will bring my luggage and other things later.
So, after taking a shower, I was off to the dream world in peace—-
I felt someone shaking my body.
I slowly woke up and opened my mouth in a daze.
“….. Leticia?”
“…. it’s Yuzuka you know?”
A slightly disgruntled voice replied.
It wasn’t the …… usual, Leticia voice that I had grown accustomed to hearing, but Tachibana was there.
Somehow, she stuck out her lips in a dissatisfied manner.
“…..Sounds kind of grumpy, doesn’t it?”
“Just now. It felt like you called me by another woman’s name, didn’t you?”
Oops, it seems she’s jealous.
… Leticia usually woke me up, so I accidentally called her name.
I don’t get to see …… them anymore. I feel a little bit sad, but right now I have to deal with this situation first.
She looked at me with her cheeks puffed out and I gave her a wry smile.
“No, no, I was dreaming about the game. Well, in that sense, I guess you could say another woman.”
“Hmmm …… I see. Hmm.”
I falsely tell her that it was a character from a …… game, but she still puffs out her cheeks.
“Well, I don’t mind. Anyway, good morning.”
“Good morning.”
“Even though you’re a knight, is it a good idea to be more sleepy than your master?”
Tachibana tilts her head in a teasing manner.
Besides, I used to work normally, so I was strong in the morning. Actually, I had no choice but to wake up.
But since I was summoned to another world, Leticia, who likes to take care of me, would wake me up.
Immediately after I went to the other world, I often overslept because my body was somehow not used to it, and I noticed that Leticia was in charge of waking me up.
And I noticed that she became grumpy when I woke up early.
Waking me up was like a routine for Leticia, as it signaled the beginning of the day.
Therefore, until she woke me up, even if I woke up early, I would either pretend to be asleep or go back to sleep, and I was completely sloppy.
Of course, I was always prepared for anything that might happen while I was sleeping.
“Breakfast is ready in the dining room, so why don’t we eat it together?”
“Then, I’ll get dressed and head over.”
“Okay. Do you want me to help you get dressed?”
“Will you help me?”
“Well, ……, that might be a little embarrassing.”
Tachibana left the room, sticking out her tongue and blushing a little.
