The mock battle that leaving various reactions had ended.
Marius with Helka and Loviesa passes through the first story of Kingdom Castle.
“Here is Marius-sama’s laboratory.”
When opening the old fashioned wooden doors, there was a dull room with only a few desks and chairs.
The size of the room about six tatami.
Cleaning was done properly, not even one dust falling and window glass was also shiny.
But as expected, the feeling that it was prepared abruptly can’t be denied.
“I will serve the tea.”
To Emma that had given her bow, Helka hurriedly calls her.
“I-I’m also helping, Emma-chan.”
“Your position right now is Marius-sama’s teacher, and also a guest.”
Giving unfriendly answer to her former colleague, Emma leaving her seat.
To Marius who is an outsider, while his thought measured that in their relation Emma had a higher position, Loviesa voice cut his thinking.
“To Marius-sama who had become a State-Guest Magician were given private room like this, every month will be paid fully 800.000 Diil as a research expense.”
The amount 800.000 Dill was large or small didn’t come through his mind, he will ask it later for now he just nods.
“We will give the thing that needed for the daily necessities, but other things will be covered by expenses.”
In other words, the expenses also include pocket money.
“Do you have any other questions?”
“I had heard that for a State-Guest Magician buying slave also included in expenses?”
Loviesa giving her ‘yes’ and nods,
“There is no problem if the price is within the budget. Since slaves who had experienced as research assistant are popular as an employee after their release, we also encourage you to do it.”
He was convinced that it was like that.
“We will deliver this month expenses later, is there any other question?”
“No, there isn’t any other question. I will be asking your help if there is later.”
The talk is over.
Loviesa opens her mouth and closed it again, after that timidly offer her advice.
“And then Marius-sama. I know am being rude as the one who been helped, but wouldn’t it better if you are more mindful with the way you fight. Looking at Marius-sama power in mock battle, there many peoples that had a fright.”
It was a piece of surprising advice for Marius.
From his point of view, he had thought that it is good to somewhat show his prowess as the one who defeating Wyvern, had done a good job by holding his power and didn’t make anybody injured.
However, possibly now isn’t the right atmosphere to say it.
(Thought they wanted to see the power that defeated Wyvern, although I worked hard while being careful not to kill anyone, then they said they scared…? )
‘Who the heck are those great peoples’ cross his mind, but he didn’t voice it out.
Certainly, the desire of Lucas and Nelson to show his power sufficiently are realized, as results are shown in the form of releasing upper-class chantless magics continuously. In the range of level prowess where ‘If you can’t do it, how can you beat Wyvern alone’.
Rather, ‘Show us 1st-Class Magic’ he did though they want that … where their true intention, in reality, is that.
Seeing puzzled Marius, Helka giving Loviesa a helping shot.
“That’s right, My husband and Yadaberus-sama will be fine, but Valk-sama and other civil servants wouldn’t think the same. You become the target of fear.”
“Ugh…”
To Helka advice Marius can’t argue and only groaning.
He thought it was okay to show a little more of his strength as it was somewhat is already known, moreover, he had recognized as an ally, this thinking was very naive.
Show me your power but when he shows it he becomes the target of fear, for Marius this was a comical thing.
Depend on position, the way to view and feel is different, moreover he already know here is another world yet it didn’t sink in his mind.
When a delicate awkward silence ruled the place, Emma coming back with proper timing like she had observed it before.
There is a fragrant smell from the container on the trolley.
“Here the Cacao-tea.”
Matching Loviesa explanation, Marius taking Cacao-tea, share for Loviesa and Helka portion also come.
“As expected of Emma-chan, as usual, it delicious.”
For Marius, Helka had praised her in Famia’s Language and also in Tarian’s Language.
Hearing that compliment, Marius interest going up and start putting it in his mouth, certainly, it was delicious.
Clearly better than what he drinks yesterday.
“Yeah, it’s delicious. Maybe more than what I drank yesterday.”
Using yesterday person in charge as an example, Helka happily translated Marius modest praise.
Emma turns to face Marius and lightly saying her thank.
This kind of thing just a piece of cake, not a thing to brag about.
Taking a stand without a gap in her defense, he can feel that she wasn’t one can be taken lightly.
“Then Marius-sama, let’s try pronouncing Cacao-tea.”
“Eh?”
A sudden proposal from Helka didn’t give time for him being surprised, Marius saying Cacao-tea words many times.
“Using nose, tongue, head, and heart to shorten time to remember the thing. This is my style. Has been tested to my daughter, it’s pretty fast, isn’t it?”
Certainly human remember the thing that they took interest on.
This clicked with Marius knowledge.
For him, the name of beauty such as Loviesa, Emma, and Helka instantly been remembered.
The Prince and Prime Minister named perhaps be forgotten.
Like she can read Marius mind, Helka says.
“Marius-sama, Loviesa-sama and Emma-chan name is the first thing you remember, your face telling it.”
“No, Loviesa-sama is first. She’s the most beautiful, it didn’t take a moment to remember.”
“I see, you are got a skill there.”
To Marius words that full with enthusiasm, Loviesa reflects it with a composed face.
An ordinary quail seem got point deduction, Marius engraved in his mind notepad.
Seeing two of them, Helka giggles and laughs.
“It’s not good, Marius-sama. For Hime-sama, beauty is an daily words she heard.”
“Helka!”
To Loviesa who reproving her with raising voice, Helka dodges it by laughing.
It seems Helka take one point from her.
“Helka-san, Helka-san. Please instruct me what the pickup words that likely touch Loviesa-sama heartstrings.”
To Marius joking words, Helka lightly clapping her hands in delight.
“I don’t mind. it better if Hime-sama got the experience a pickup line from a gentleman that makes her heart flutter at least once.”
“Marius-sama, Helka just get tired, please stop being such a tease.”
With her brow lifted up, Loviesa glare came to him, even like that Marius still think that she had a good appearance as expected of a beauty.
“I understand. If that can make me get along well with Loviesa-sama, Helka-san will be ignored.”
“Oh dear, so cruel. Did an older woman out of Marius-sama target?”
Against Helka that taking a handkerchief from her skirt pocket and faking cry, Marius gave her a cold glance.
“Afterall you a married woman, right?”
“I relieved that Marius-sama having a reasonable judgment.”
Follow Loviesa in her mutter.
Originally, Marius and Loviesa wouldn’t have such friendly exchange, perhaps personality or atmosphere around Helka that make them too.
Probably Rovisa is the same.
He will give his gratitude at a later time.
Right at the end of topics, Emma offering tea sweets.
“Dried Taro with caramel.”
Loviesa the one that translated it, Helka the one who given pronunciation practice, but Marius was being impressed by Emma’s service.
There also thing that she can’t communicate with them, usually she like an air, nevertheless, when she is needed, she does her job with exquisite timing.
Exactly a rule model of a professional.
“By the way, Loviesa-sama, Helka-san. We had done listening and talking now, but how about reading and writing?”
To Marius question, Loviesa and Helka exchanging their gaze, the one who answers him are Helka.
“To learn the culture and language of another country, best thing needed is to understand what they talk about. First of all, like babies more than letters, remembering humans conversation in their surrounding are needed thing, isn’t it?”
“Ah, now that you mention it…”
At least reading and writing letters are the things of late priority.
Marius has been convinced and nodding twice, but playful smirk float in Helka face.
“But then, Marius-sama got a nice point, You will remember reading and writing in parallel, right?”
“Eh…?”
When Marius reflexively ask back, Emma already arranged a large ink bottle with a pile of paper and three pens on the desk.
There is a unity between them, without time to ask, Helka and Loviesa already had a pen in their hands.
Helka write Cacao-tea, while Loviesa Dried Taro with caramel, they recommended Marius to imitate them.
At first, they intended to let him learn words.
For Marius who isn’t good with language faculty, it was a hard time, but it can’t be helped as it was the development that he wanted for.
Turning his line of thought that he had been lucky with two beauty as teacher-role, he spins his brain.
Writing ten times on paper, Helka giving next task.
“And the next one is this, Boobs.”
“Hey.”
Reflexively he had put a Tsukkomi.
“What’s happen?”
Seeing Helka that tilting her head with a serious face, Marius want to hold his head.
“Lovisa-sama, is there no law to punish harassment?”
“It’s difficult in this case because there’s no ill intent from Helka.”
Lovisa answered him with a somewhat tired face.
Certainly, he just taught the word that will sooner or later be remembered, and it may be difficult to argue if it is asserted.
In this part quite similar to the original world.
“Marius-sama didn’t like boobs? Or perhaps you don’t like aunty like me?”
Helka with sorrow voice asking back.
There no ill intent at all make it more troublesome.
While thinking that, Marius answer her.
“Let set aside liking or not, but it sure making mental damage.”
It better for who Emma couldn’t understand Famia’s Language, but Loviesa understands it perfectly.
To women he just met, he can’t make a stupid reaction.
“But Marius-sama, aren’t you overreacting?”
Helka voice and expression are mixed with a lot of teasing components.
Certainly, it is also a good screen to sweep and dodge it.
If there is no other surprise attack it will do.
But to Marius who stop in reconsideration, felt it strange.
Helka behavior as a woman who was former princess attendant was too frivolous, also such a tease.
Marius did think isn’t because he was too friendly, but he drops down that load of thinking.
Isn’t she much too different with Emma?
Of course, there also individual differences, but as Princess attendant more than personality, job responsibility more important.
As his doubt rapidly expanding, Marius head instead becomes cooler and a room for thinking was born.
“I think it is normal if you are hearing boobs from woman mouth.”
For now, he continues the topic and answers the question.
“It’s normal for Marius-sama said so.”
Loviesa agree in a flash.
Looking at the Princess she once served, Helka smiling and laughing.
“Loviesa-sama, you look a bit happier now.”
“Helka, stop giving explanations for every little thing.”
Loviesa say it flatly.
If just for teasing her, she should just say it in Famia’s Language, she purposely using Famia’s Language to make Marius heard it.
That’s why Loviesa tone gets stricter.
Feeling strict tone from Loviesa another possibility cross Marius mind.
Helka intentionally took a villain role is to make the relation between Marius and Loviesa more closer.
He didn’t know for what purpose she did it but for the former personal attendant of Princess that also a noblewoman, her frivolous action can be explained.
While Marius thinking about a various thing, Helka glance at Marius and throwing a wink at him.
Apparently, Marius’s guess is correct.
When it comes to it, the original Helka is can be attentive like Emma, seems a woman who proficient at reading people’s expression and atmosphere of the place.
(End then, why she want the relation between me and Princess more closer?)
That question raised, but Marius can’t think the answer.
All he could understand was solidarity feeling was born between him and Loviesa.
