?
It wasn't until a few nights later that a certain little girl finally appeared in front of the gate of her mansion with cheers, and was warmly welcomed by her maids and guests (Emilia).
"Master, are you back?"
"Master, welcome back!"
"Master, master!!"
Beside Emilia and bowing politely to Anne who returned home were the twin maids Ram and Rem, who were wearing black maid outfits, and the newly promoted little maid Petra.
Of course, Ram and Rem's emotions are relatively calm, and they are not too disturbed by the fact that their master did not know what he did outside and did not come back until now, but Petra seems a little excited. , I don’t know what she is excited about.
"Uh-huh!"
(′???`)
"They're back!"
☆?(o*???)?
With that said, after casually greeting the four of them, Annie, carrying a certain dirty-looking little bear, planned to enter the mansion.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"wait wait wait!!"
"Annie!"
"You're finally back. Why did it take so long to come back? We haven't heard from you. Did something happen?"
Unlike the twin sisters Ram, Rem and the new maid Petra, who could only worry in their hearts but did not dare to speak out, Emilia, who was doubtful in her heart, directly expressed her concerns at this time. He stopped Annie and asked worriedly.
Because little Annie didn't say when she would come back when she went out, and then disappeared for several days. They didn't have to worry about it during this time. Now that the other party finally came back, she should send her greetings as a matter of course. and asked some questions.
"Um……"
(′???`)
"It's nothing, I just happened to come across something fun and delicious, and then accidentally lost track of time."
(????-)?
"Huh?"
(=′ω｀=) smell, smell~
"What's wrong, Emilia, there seems to be a strange smell in the house. Did anything happen while I was away?"
(???.???)????
First, she sniffed the air. When she smelled that there seemed to be a faint smell of strangers in her home, Anne couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"ah?"
Looking at Anne's appearance, Emilia never thought she could be like this.
"Is such that."
"Before, a few days before you came back, the head of Duke Carlsten's family, His Excellency Curio Carlsten, who is quite famous in the kingdom, did come to visit, but you were not there at the time, so I had to I received them on your behalf."
After being surprised, Emilia quickly came to her senses, and then began to talk about the incident a few days ago.
"??"
(′?_?`)
"Cursu Karsten?"
く(＾_?)ゝ
"who is it?"
(???.???)????
After thinking hard and thinking, Anne finally said that she didn't seem to know a person with that name, and since she didn't know him, he must not be an important guy.
"..."
"One of Lugnica's five candidates for the throne, the lady with long green hair dressed in men's clothing, the head of Duke Karsten's family, she was the first to speak on stage during the throne meeting, don't you think Forgot?"
"You really haven't forgotten, have you?!"
Emilia's eyes widened and she felt a little unbelievable.
After all, it was just a few days ago. Fortunately, the other party came to visit specifically. It was just a drop-in. However, it was indeed a bit strange that the little guy in front of him was forgotten so quickly. It should.
"ah!"
(?_?)ヾ
"I still can't remember..."
=????('ヮ'=????)
"Then what happened to her?"
(*^▽^*)
After lowering her head and thinking about it, Anne still didn't remember who Amelia was talking about, so she directly asked the other party why she came to visit her home for nothing.
"..."
"She originally wanted to come to visit you, but you were not there at the time, so I went to receive them on your behalf..."
First she sighed, and then Emilia told her the reasons why Lord Crusch Karsten came to visit, such as asking for advice about the beluga whale, transporting the burnt skeleton of the beluga whale, and showing good intentions to her side. 'Notifying the Witch Cult and wanting to provide assistance, etc., were all stated in detail.
"The skeleton of the white whale..."
"Annie, you won't mind if I agree to let them move, right?"
"They said at the time that they would move to the royal capital to show off to the public, and at the same time, they would also take the initiative to engrave your glorious deeds of conquering and burning the white whale on a stone tablet in front of the bones, so I..."
As she spoke, Emilia felt a little uneasy.
After all, she had directly agreed to remove the bones based on her own imagination without Anne's consent. If Anne had other uses, then she must have done something stupid.
"Beluga whale skeleton?"
(〃'▽'〃)
"Ah! So it's not finished burning yet?"
(*^▽^*)
Anne thought that the weak white whale had been burned long ago and was directly burned to ashes, but she didn't expect that the other party's skeleton was still there, which really surprised her.
Thinking about it, it must be because she wanted it to burn longer, so she weakened the flame. It must be like that, right?
"Just move it away. The bones and residue are inedible anyway, so there's no point in keeping them..."
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Anne didn't mind, because she didn't care about that thing. Even if the other party didn't move it away, she would definitely not care about it. She would definitely let the skeleton rot in the forest.
"ha!"
"That would be great!"
Hearing that Anne didn't take it to heart, Emilia couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and kept patting her somewhat swollen chest.
"Yes, there is more!"
"Annie, in the past few days when you were away, many visitors came from the royal capital. Most of them were nobles and merchants in the kingdom. They all left personal letters. Have you ever thought about paying them a return visit?"
At this time, Emilia thought of what happened in the past few days when Anne was away, and started talking again.
To be honest, she has been really busy these days, because if the royal capital comes to their territory and rides a dragon carriage at full speed along Lefaus Avenue, it only takes a day to go back and forth, so those guys are almost all gathered together. Those days of coming, and after the news spread that Anne was no longer in the territory and no one could see it with their own eyes, the number of visits gradually became less and less in the past two days.
"Visitor?"
ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?
"Do you know him?"
∑(′△｀)? !
"this……"
"You probably don't know him, right?"
Emilia herself didn't even know many people, so she felt that Anne, who didn't even know Lord Crusch Karsten, must not know those people.
"Then ignore them!"
...(,,???,,)…
Since they are a group of strangers, and they are looking for trouble to show their courtesy, they must have no good intentions! So, Annie felt that she didn't need to waste her precious time eating, drinking and having fun talking to those guys.
"..."
Sure enough, Emilia gave Ram and Rem a helpless look.
Because before Anne came back, the three of them had already discussed it and agreed that a certain bad little girl lord would definitely have such an attitude!
And now looking at it, it was just as they had guessed. The little guy in front of them was indeed very lazy.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
ヾ(=?ω?=)o
After learning what happened in the mansion during her absence, until it was no longer an important event, Anne asked again.
"..."
"..."
Ram and Rem did not answer. They actually wanted to know where Anne, the master, had been these past few days. However, looking at Anne's impatient face, they were considerate and did not dare to ask at this time.
"It should be gone, right?"
"It's been very quiet in the territory these days. It's just that His Excellency Curio Karsten and the noble merchants from the royal capital have come to visit. There seems to be nothing else."
She crossed her arms and thought for a while, then stretched out her finger to tap her lower lip. Emilia thought for a long time, and finally shook her head slightly.
"Then go back and prepare food quickly, Rem, I'm hungry, I'm going to have a double meal later!"
?(*?)?
"correct!"
|???ω??)??
"Is there any fresh meat at home? If not, I actually don't mind if you kill the earth dragon in the mansion!"
(?￣﹃￣?) Hehe!
Annie began to hint crazily that she had wanted to eat Earth Dragon for a long time, but she had never had a good opportunity, so she had put it off until now.
"ah?"
"Eat, eat earth dragon?!"
Emilia was shocked by Anne's outrageous and nonsensical thoughts!
"Lord, master!"
"That Earth Dragon is the only means of transportation in our mansion. If we eat it now, it will be very troublesome to go shopping in the city tomorrow. Are you sure you really want to eat it?"
Without waiting for Rem to nod in agreement, Ram quickly spoke out to persuade.
You know, most of the time she or her sister Rem is responsible for purchasing various things in the royal city on weekdays. You can reach the royal capital in half a day by taking a dragon train along Lefaus Avenue. You can leave in the morning and arrive before dark in the evening. Return, and if they eat the earth dragon, without the earth dragon, the dragon chariot will not have the power to run at high speed. Then they will have to walk to the royal city. The time of going back and forth will be too much, and it cannot be done in a day or two. It can be solved!
"Yes, Master, Rem doesn't agree with eating earth dragons now..."
"As for meat..."
"The villagers in the village sent a prey this afternoon. It is very fresh and is still alive. Therefore, Rem believes that there will be no shortage of ingredients today."
"And then..."
"Master, the kind of earth dragon specially used for pulling carts is said to be not very tasty. If the master wants to eat it, Rem can buy some earth dragon meat specially for eating when he goes to the royal city next time. What do you think? "
At this time, Rem on the side also spoke up.
In fact, the laws of the pro-dragon kingdom Lugnika do not allow the slaughter of earth dragons with high IQs. This is not only because they are important means of transportation and livestock for farming, but also because dragons are the symbol of the kingdom. Even if the earth dragon is not considered a 'dragon' and its bloodline is very weak, it is still not allowed to be slaughtered by law.
Of course, laws are made and enforced by humans. No matter how strict they are, there will always be people who take risks. Therefore, Rem also has ways to obtain and satisfy their master's appetite from certain special markets.
"..."
(lll￢ω￢)
"Then don't eat for now, I'll go back and take a shower first!"
??(??￣?￣)????
Seeing how reluctantly these guys answered, and even united to oppose her eating the earth dragon, Annie had no choice but to secretly hate them, and decided that next time, she must find a chance to Just give them a good beating.
The kind where you take off your pants and spank your butt until it becomes swollen and swollen!
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
"Why!"
"Master, master! Wait!"
At this time, when Anne was just about to leave, the little maid Petra, who had a big red bow on her head, suddenly remembered something, shouted to Anne and rushed over in a hurry.
"what?"
⊙(?◇?)?
"Lord...Lord, Master!"
"This is a letter that the patriarch grandma asked me to hand over to you when I returned to Alam Village this morning, saying it was from the lord..."
"No, it was the former lord, His Excellency Roswaal, who told me to give it to you personally!"
Petra said hurriedly, and then hurriedly took out the letter from her pocket, forgetting even the basic maid etiquette.
"letter?"
(?_?)ヾ
"Or the one from the spicy clown uncle?"
く(＾_?)ゝ
Anne was a little confused. She didn't know why the strange uncle wrote to her instead of the other party in person.
However, she didn't mind those details. She took the letter without any care, tore open the seal and quickly browsed it.
"..."
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
After reading it, Annie curled her lips in disdain and didn't take it to heart at all.
"Annie, what's wrong?"
"Owner?"
"..."
Emilia, Rem and Ram also gathered around curiously and glared at a certain little maid with evil eyes.
Because the other party came back from the village for such a long time, but she never informed them about this matter. As a trainee maid, she went beyond their seniors to ask for credit and reward from the master to gain a sense of presence. This kind of thing is very, very bad. Very very taboo!
"Here! It's not a big deal anyway, you'd better see for yourselves!"
(??? 3?)
"I have to go back and take a shower first!"
?(￣??)???
After saying that, and throwing the letter to Emilia, who looked curious, Anne turned around and strode towards the corridor of the mansion.
"..."
And the little maid Petra glanced at the three of them, and after remembering the terrifying looks that the three of them had just looked at her, she gritted her teeth, then quickly turned around and followed her. Behind Master Anne.
That's right, she planned to wait for the great new lord to take a bath, instead of staying here to be scolded or punished by some two terrible seniors.
"..."
"..."
"..."
After Emilia shook off the paper, Ram and Rem also came to the side curiously, and then the three of them gathered together and looked at it.
It turned out that this was written in my heart:
When Roswaal L. Merzas went to investigate the situation a few days ago, he met two powerful guys, who seemed to be Regulus Corneas, the priest of lust of the Witch Cult, and Rai, the priest of gluttony. I. Badenkaitos?
Immediately afterwards, they both started fighting over a disagreement!
In the end, it was natural that Roswaal L. Mezas was outnumbered and had to retreat temporarily after being injured. This was the real reason why the opponent did not show up for several days.
Anyway, that’s what the letter said!
He retreated to a place called the 'Sacred Domain' to recuperate, and before entering, he wrote such a letter and gave it to a hunter in the village to deliver on his behalf. Finally, the letter found its way into the hands of the patriarch of Alam Village, and the patriarch Today, I gave the letter to the little maid Petra. Finally, it was only now that the cunning Petra took out the letter.
"!!"
"It's the Witch Cult again!!"
Ram and Rem looked at each other, their eyes gradually filled with murderous intent, and their white and tender little hands clenched their fists subconsciously.
"this……."
"Priest of Lust and Priest of Gluttony, are they injured? Sir Roswaal should be fine, right?"
Emilia finally understood why there was no news about Roswaal L. Merzas for several days after he went to investigate. It turned out that he encountered two powerful enemies and was injured after the battle. Didn't you find a safe place to recuperate?
"etc!"
"This kind of thing is obviously very serious. The Witch Cult will definitely come back after suffering a big loss, but Anne actually said it's not a big deal?"
"Why isn't this a big deal?!"
Immediately afterwards, Emilia frowned and exclaimed.
In her opinion, when the Witch Cult collapsed in the territory where they lived and lost a large number of manpower and a lazy priest, they must have a grudge and would definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate. Therefore, then There is no doubt that it is a very important matter and must be taken seriously!
"..."
"..."
Ram and Rem didn't speak, just stood aside silently.
Different from Emilia's worries, they have an sworn hatred against the Witch Cult. In fact, deep down in their hearts, they want the Witch Cult to do it again.
Then……
At that time, can they once again lead the legion of faceless men and Mr. N'Zoth to kill and eliminate all incoming enemies?
Yes, that’s what they think!
The two twin sisters are maids here in the mansion. They cannot leave the mansion easily, and they are even less likely to ask for leave to actively attack the Witch Cult. Therefore, other than expecting the other party to come to the door to cause trouble, they really have no other choice. .
As for whether they would be able to fight it by then, they didn't pay much attention to that kind of thing.
Because the two sisters firmly believe that with the great Master Anne, all problems will be no problem, all enemies will be just chickens and dogs, and they will not be afraid of anything!
