Chapter 106
(Emile & Bell).even if it will cost our lives!!
(Kaoru)Like I said, your life is more important than the request of a horse that I just met once!
Even if I have said it many times already, these big fools still tried to prioritize my little request over their own lives.
This is why I need to be very careful when giving instructions to these two.
(Kaoru)How many times do I need to say this!? For me, it would be a great pain if you guys disappeared! Are you trying to dispossess your servant title and betray me?
(Emile & Bell)Uuu
Geez, how many more times do we have to do this kind of argument? Learn a bit, will you
In the end, its decided that information gathering is impossible to do with only me who is a complete amateur.
Therefore, I unwillingly let the two Goddess Eyes members, Emile and Bell to join with me.
Mochi is better in Mochi shop. Peach is better with peach tea.
(TL Note: it means Better leave it to the specialist.)
There wont be any needs for these two to show up. Hence, this only meant for a relief on their little sorrow. Well, thats fine.
Francette and Roland are already known to the public and troublesome. In addition, its bad to involve a royalty and his fiancee in my personal matters, so pass!
It will be scary if they found out about this, so lets be careful
Riette-chan? Well, shes always with me, right? Hahaha.
(Kaoru)Anyway, My top priority command is Prohibition to die. The second priority is I could tolerate if you have some injuries but avoid serious ones at all costs. The third priority is Hiding in secrecy and the fourth is Information gathering.
So, absolutely dont overdo it. If you feel any danger lurking around, retreat at once and give priority in bringing back the information that had been collected so far!
And if you are caught and cannot escape from them, be obedient and say, We are servants of the Goddess and guide them to me.
If you do so, you and all of the information that you have gotten and also the enemy themselves will be in my hands.
But if you put up resistances and were killed in the process, I wont mind to catch and harm all of them.
So, which one do you think is more useful?
(Emile & Bell)the one that we could come back alive
Alright, if I said it like this, they wont make any foolish idea later. It took time and effort, really.
(Kaoru)Well then, focus on what I had confirmed just now. Whats left is to do it properly, okay?
I sent Emile and Bell to gather the information and wait for the results.
Ah, even though its gathering information, its not as if they will sneak into a noble residence. How many lives you have still wont be enough if you do such a thing.
Emile and the others used to be good at eavesdropping on other peoples conversations, pretending to be only there by chance, and acquiring information that they want to know as a part of their idle talks.
In the past, it seemed that they could utilize their child form, but as of now, that method cannot be used any more for Emile who had turned into an adult. Bell seems can still use it, though
With upturned eyes while saying Uncle, please! or something similar.
If I do that, they will think that theyre being stared at and it will turn into a fight, maybe.
***************
(Emile)and thats why, that horsetwo months before Carlos was handed over and soon after the Viscounts carriage was attacked by the bandits, the so-called uncle got into the family and seems like he spent almost all his time there.
The Viscounts daughter will turn 15 years old and become adult in four months. So, we can still make it.
Alright, Carlos seemed to have spent his last time here for only a short amount of time, so I thought that it hasnt been a number of days since the event occured. As expected, huh?
Thats a relief.
And it was lucky that the daughter was a minor. If the person herself doesnt want to marry that much, the uncle cannot use brute force before she reaches adulthood, so theres no need to worry.
He needs to wait for a while for her to become an adult and formally marry her, so he wont think about going all the way to bother her and causing her a problem.
In this world, compared to the commoners, the royal and noble families who respect their lineage seem to be very concerned about it, even if shes an innocent bride.
Its not as if she will be treated as a mistress. He still needs a legal wife whose child could take over the house, so its required to have a complete demand on her chastity,though, that is obvious, right
In conclusion, the daughters marriage will be in four months away and shes still okay until that time.
And even if we spent more than four months, even a jet can be repaired!
(Emile)And there are 2 riding horses, 4 carriage horses, and 2 horse-drawn carriages. All horses are already being kept for more than a year. The others are three dogs such as hunting dogs and watch dogs. All of them are being taken care of and cherished by the animal-loving daughter.
Okay, lets start with that.
***************
(Gatekeeper)Animal Doctor you said?
(???)Yes, our job is to investigate the problems of the mind and body of the animals, and to resolve their problems with our familys secret recipe.
A suspicious person was visiting the Reifell Viscounty.
Fair-skinned, chestnut-colored hair, a kind and drooping blue eyes.
Of course, it was Kaoru.
It is an act which does not fear the Gods, that is changing the color of ones skin, hair and eyes with potions and forcing the slant eyes into a drooping eyes with adhesive and makeup technology.
No, Kaoru was also a 22-year-old member of society in the past, so she could at least do an ordinary makeup.
She usually put not too thick and messy, that is a light natural make-up. However, by no means she cannot do a fraud disguise. Especially, when she can use something like a make-up potion that is effective on rough skin
And, regardless of her hair and skin color, Kaoru who now has drooping eyes cannot be noticed that she is Kaoru by any means. Obviously, that is because Kaorus raison dtre is now altered.
(Gatekeeper)Seems suspicious. Well, wait a minute. For the time being, Ill convey this to young miss first as it may be a good distraction for her. However, if this is a scam, prepare yourself
While saying so, one of the gatekeepers disappeared into the house. The other one is, of course, looking after the suspicious girl.
(Kaoru)Well then, I will check for any problems.
(Retainer)And you wont make any charges if theres no problems, right?
The young male retainer ridiculed Kaorus words.
Even if hes called young, hes already in around late twenties or early thirties.
Five people are now in the stable; Kaoru, the retainer who is currently Kaorus escort, an elder stableman who looks like a past middle-aged butler, and Reifell Viscountys daughter.., well, not as a daughter, but as Reifell Viscountys present head, Viscountess Reifell, that is Mariel.
It seems the so-called uncle is not coming today.
(Alright, just as planned! the whole family is now gone and theres still around two months left. The retainers are also worried with the animal-loving young miss as she shut her feelings due to sadness and disorder. Hence, they cant miss this chance for the attractive information that could make her relax, I see
I thought they would refuse, you know!)
Of course, even if they refused at that time, Kaoru had already considered the next method so there was no problem for her. She seemed optimistic about the refusal, but she was surprised that the first method worked well.
(Kaoru)then, I shall begin.
Kaoru ignored the retainers mockery and confronted the six horses with serious faces.
And.
(Kaoru)Devout servants, my name is Kaoru, I have manifested for Carlos wish. Is there anyone here who wants to avenge your master?
(Horses)EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH!?!
Six horses gave a surprise cry.
(Horse A)C-Carlos-dono, even when you died, for the young miss, you still. Uu..uooooooooohhh!!
(Horse B)I could not do anything even though Im still alive, this oneself is just a pathetic being
Tears flowed from the horses eyes.
(Horse A)If its for the master and young miss, we will do anything!
(Horse B)We, following Carlos-donos will, can only give our loyalty and become sacred horses!
(Horses)Uooooooooh!!
(Kaoru)Ah, Carlos is still alive, you know?
(Horses)EEEEEEEEEEEEEHH!?!
Seeing the excited horses, the Reifell Viscountys group was stunned and stood still.
