The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard

25. social church (2)

“Im here. Lady Gong.”

“Ugh, ugh.”

Arlot and I arrived at the banquet hall in the center of the empire.

After all, it’s the best academy in the empire.

The size of the banquet hall was also quite large.

Should I say it feels like a cathedral in Europe that I’ve only seen in pictures?

“Schmitz… Is there anything strange about me? Whether it’s the expression… ”

Saying that, Arlott looked around his body.

She was sitting in a wheelchair wearing a pure white dress that modeled the color of her hair.

Her usual long, straight hair looked even more beautiful with a hairpin modeled after a white rose.

“… To be honest, I was worried.”

“What, is there something wrong…?”

“I am worried because you are so beautiful.

“Hey, don’t make fun of me… !”

Arlott slaps my hand while holding the wheelchair as if it were his fault.

Fortunately, the tension seems to have been relieved to some extent.

“sorry. It was to relieve tension.”

“Ugh… Schmitz too.”

As I pushed the wheelchair, I saw that her ears were quite red.

Maybe it was because he thought he was making fun of me, he seemed a little angry.

It wasn’t word of mouth, it was sincere.

“… Can you do it well?”

At the end of Arlott’s words, a feeling of uneasiness lingered.

Apparently, she was one of the few girls who had ever left the mansion, so it seemed that this social gathering was quite a burden.

“My lady, it’s okay. I will do my best to assist you.”

“… Schmitz, like me, is new to a social church.”

“But I’ve had many experiences.”

Arlott poked the sharp part, but I smiled and passed it over without caring.

Well, I’ve never been to a social church, but I’ve touched on it a few times in the original work…

The social gatherings of little kids who just turned 20 seemed like playing house.

“I will go in.”

When I showed the invitation to the knight guarding the entrance of the banquet hall, I was able to get through quickly.

The door twice as tall as me opened with a majestic sound…

“You are in the position of Princess Erral de Arlot, daughter of Her Excellency Erral de Rochney, Grand Duke of the North!”

The knight in charge of the gatekeeper suddenly made a loud noise toward the banquet hall.

Because of that, the attention of many people who had arrived early and wandered around the banquet hall was focused on this direction.

… This is bad.

Unsurprisingly, a whisper was heard in a rather loud voice from a group of nobles who liked to gossip.

“Is that the daughter of the Grand Duke of the North? I’ve never seen you before… ”

“Um… As rumored, you are white and delicate. I hear you say it’s an incurable disease… ”

“But why are you in a wheelchair?”

“Ah, that’s because you have a chronic disease, so your lower body is-“

The banquet hall was quickly filled with buzz.

Apparently, she hadn’t gone out of the house before, so it seemed like it had become an interesting topic of conversation.

“Ah, uh… ”

Arlott, at a loss for what to do with their reaction, turned his head around.

It must be the first time you have ever heard a story about yourself, not welcoming or openly ignoring it.

The moment I thought I had to move Arlott to a corner as much as possible-

“There will be a toast from Princess Mitike Bion from the Elven Kingdom!”

At one word from the man who seemed to be the moderator, everyone in the banquet hall quickly fell silent.

Someone came down from the top of the stairs in the middle of the banquet hall.

At that moment when everyone held their breath, they took a lofty step while showing off their presence…

again – again –

“hello. It is called Mitteke Bion. Nice to meet you, prospective classmates?”

One of the main heroines of ＜Party to Savior＞,

It was the appearance of Bion Mitteke.

‘… This is how it feels when you see a drill head in real life.”

Like the elf’s pride, long ears that stretched out sharply.

My eyes were drawn to the sparkling green eyes as if they had grown up eating greenery, but…

Every time she came down the stairs, the curled blonde hair that swayed like it was alive must have been amazing.

“As there are people who will soon belong to the same academy, I hope you get along well. For a successful banquet… Cheers!”

“”Cheers!!!””

As Bion raises his wine glass with a graceful gesture, other nobles immediately join in the toast.

Eventually, despite the thunderous applause, Bion smiled leisurely.

As she climbed the central staircase to the first floor of the banquet hall, the banquet hall quickly began to liven up.

But is it because of my mood that I feel like Bion is looking this way?

Contrary to the bright smile shown earlier, he is looking at us with scary eyes.

… This is not good.

“It looks like you really liked that elf princess.”

“…Yes? Oh, it’s not like that.”

“Really? I thought it was because he looked at me intently.”

okay. Even if she had a bad back, she wouldn’t do anything in the banquet hall where everyone could see.

Anyway, thanks to Bion’s appearance, I sighed and walked around the banquet hall, soothing Arlot, who was strangely pouty.

* * *

The banquet had matured before I knew it, and the atmosphere had turned into a calm conversation.

Arlott also seemed to be squeamish at first, but then began to have casual conversations with the nobles who often approached.

If there was one problem…

“Princess, the dress really suits you. I wonder if the beauty of the north is well revealed.”

“thanks. Actually, this dress was chosen by Schmitz.”

“ah… What kind of person is Schmitz?”

“The exclusive butler behind me. He’s been my attendant since I was 8 years old, he’s good at his job and-“

There were many who tried to speak with Arlot, but most went away not long after.

The problem was that all conversations were dotted with my story.

“So Schmitz… ”

“Aha… I’m sorry, I remembered something urgent… Excuse me.”

While I was thinking, I sent another one.

At this rate, strange rumors might spread to Arlot.

Thinking so, I opened my mouth.

“Princess. With all due respect, may I ask why you keep bringing up my story?”

“yes… ?”

Arlott was eating refreshments at an empty table.

Are you really unaware of the seriousness of the case?

“If you want to make friends, it’s a good idea to bring up common interests first. I like the hot topics these days.”

“… okay? But I-”

The words that followed were enough to stop my mouth.

“Since Schmitz has always been by my side, I have nothing to say except about you… ”

“… ”

You have nothing to say except talk about me.

Do you not know that there is room for misunderstanding in it?

When I suddenly shut my mouth, Arlott, who only then noticed the strange current, averted my gaze.

“Ah Okay. I know what you’re talking about, so be careful in the future-”

– Wow!

The moment Arlott’s gaze turned to me, her white dress was stained with wine.

It really was an instant thing.

Because it was unexpected, Arlot and I froze.

In that terrible silence, a leisurely voice rang in my ear alone.

“Oops, I’m sorry… I didn’t expect there to be people in wheelchairs in the banquet hall.”

The person who poured the wine covered his mouth with one hand and apologized.

But the corners of his mouth, visible through his fingers, were clearly ridiculed.

Only then did I realize that Arlot was looking down on the woman in front of me.

“Can’t you hear me? Do you have a problem with your ears as well as your legs?”

The woman in the front, who continued to stir up her temper, was a familiar figure.

Because it was Mitteke Bion, the elf princess who announced the start of the banquet earlier.

“My lady, are you okay?”

“uh? uhh… ”

Arlott was still staring at the wine-stained dress as if he was still slow to grasp the situation.

It was a dress that the Grand Duke of the North had spent a lot of money on for this social gathering, so that kind of reaction was understandable.

“It’s the clothes Schmitz chose for me… ”

Arlott said that and wept.

… It’s just embarrassing in many ways that you think of me in this situation.

‘Come to think of it, the other day, I was being swayed by none other than an attendant.’

It’s a memory I don’t want to remember, but at that time, Arlot was swinging at none other than his servant.

Arlott seems to be insufficient in coping with the hostility inflicted on him.

Having come to that conclusion, I had no choice but to come forward.

“What are you doing?”

“… What are you?”

I stepped forward, hiding Arlott behind my back.

Bion wrinkled his eyebrows at my appearance.

‘I knew I had a bad relationship with Arlot, but I never thought I’d go this far’

Bion is a strong successor to the Queen of the Elves, and is a confident and charismatic character.

It was popular among players because of the elements of elf, drill head, lady, and excellent body.

He even had OP-class performance in the game, so he was also a ‘human rights character’ that many people appoint.

But when she stands in front of Arlot, she becomes a villainous young lady.

As an Eralmam, I don’t know the details because I abandoned Bion every episode, but I remember that there was a background story mixed with resentment towards the northern region.

But-

‘That’s none of my business.’

Arlott hadn’t done anything wrong.

That dwarf who causes obvious malice under the guise of a mistake.

I’ll have to pay the price for ruining Arlott’s first social debut.

“Please apologize properly.”

“I already gave you an apology?”

“I said properly. If you know the etiquette of the royal family, I believe you will apologize properly.”

When I provoked him with a sarcastic tone, Bion took a step forward.

A look full of anger.

Soon after, he presses down on my chest with his fingers and starts inflicting harm.

“It’s not even funny. An attendant discussing the courtesy of the royal family…!”

everything is as expected

She has a high self-esteem in good terms and an arrogant personality in bad terms.

If a servant of a lower status than you shows disrespectful words and actions,

Also, if it was a servant of the Aral family who would harass them without hesitation.

‘I’m sure he can’t hold back his anger and slaps his hand.’

Bion has a lot of followers and a good reputation externally.

On the other hand, Arlotte made his first debut at this social church.

If Arlott and Bion collide, the majority of the cults will side with Bion.

But if it escalates to violence, the story changes.

A social gathering is a place of friendship.

Violence is not tolerated no matter how much it is directed against the employee.

Let’s completely ignore the pouring words of Bion with those calculations finished…

“Are you ignoring my words now? Ha, it’s not like this… !”

As expected, Bion’s hand-jammed sword was pointed at me.

I was waiting for the sword to strike me,

tongue-

“… under?”

For some reason, that finger sword was blocked by an intangible barrier.

Bion’s face contorted with embarrassment.

‘… What is this?’

Judging by the hazy afterimage, it must have been a protective shield activated by magic.

Of course, I didn’t open it.

Just in case, I turned my gaze to Arlot, and she was also frozen with her eyes wide open.

Is that the work of someone else?

Just when I was perplexed by that, a lively voice rang out that did not match the precarious atmosphere at all.

“Haha, I think something interesting happened.”

A woman who appeared from behind Bion.

She was dressed in a plain blue dress and adorned with cheap jewellery.

Even at first glance, it was not appropriate for this occasion.

“What’s going on, if you don’t mind, can I join you?”

Shining eyes with a simple smile.

The moment I faced that figure, I couldn’t help but be nervous in many ways.

‘…it’s a mountain beyond a mountain.’

A cold sweat runs down my back.

Her name is ‘Green Knoll Hannah’ with short blue hair and blue walls that match the dress.

Disguised as a commoner, she tries to enter the academy,

One of the main heroines of the princess position and-

It was because he was a person of interest, worthy of the most vigilance in this world.
