Chapter 15: The Commander's Son Makes An Ally

With the heroine becoming Alice's maid, it can be said that half of the heroine's problems have been solved for the time being. But that's no good. You can't trust the heroine 100% unless you completely solve the heroine's problem. So, I was visiting a certain servant of Duke Misty.

"Lost-sama, may I ask what is your purpose for calling me...?"

"Oh. I want to ask you about Maria, Beris."

Beris, the butler of the Duke of Misty. The head butler of the Duke of Misty has a lot of trust in him, and since he's the same age as Alice, he also serves as Alice's butler. why do I ask him That's because he's the hidden character that the heroine was talking about. Well, of course we don't know each other very much, so Beris said with a bit of confusion.

"Um, why did you choose me? Lost-sama was the one who brought that new maid in the first place, right?"

"Yes. The main reason is that you are Alice's butler."

"Even though I'm a butler, it's just a decoration, right? I'll adjust Alice's schedule a little, or I'll be by her side as a male guard. Well, Lost-sama has become her fiancée, so I don't need to spend more time as an escort. "

Yes, it seems that the escort rotation has become much easier because I have more opportunities to be by he side. Well, I don't want to raise my self-esteem too much, but objectively, I already have the strength of a Knight Commander class. I'm definitely an advanced guard in terms of quality, but actually this butler is also quite familiar with battles. He can fight, he can work, and I'm a little irritated because he's too high-spec, but he's an important piece, so I have to control him well. yes it's just that, not because I felt threatened.

"However, I can't always be by Alice's side either. I'm very sorry. That's why I want to ask you."

"…Is this story related to the rumor that the maid may be able to use magic?"

"Where did you hear that rumor?"

"The Duke was talking about it."

It's probably through the Duke, but is it on purpose? I don't think that Duke would easily leak information even though he was a close friend. It's probably insurance for the heroine. Charm magic has almost no effect on people of the same sex. That's why if the servants care about each other, they can deal with it somewhat. I nodded at Beris' words and said.

"I see, if you know, I can talk quickly. That maid can use Enchanting magic."

"Enchanting magic…I see, so that's why His Highness and his aides were corrupted."

"Are you casually mocking me?"

"No, come to think of it, how did Lost-sama prevent the enchantment magic?"

When asked that, I thought a little and then said.

"If I say the power of love, would you agree?"

"I'd like to say it's a joke, but I'm afraid it doesn't sound like a lie. I wish I could show you the recent relationship between Lost-sama and Alice-sama."

"Is that so much? It's still not enough for me."

"Is that it?"

Beris shows a rather surprised expression, but it's not enough. No matter how much I love her, it's not enough. I wish I could have time for her forever. Or rather, maybe I honestly don't feel like Alice's current attitude will decline even if she becomes an old lady. This current situation is that the limiter of the late feelings that I love Alice too much is shaken off. I really can't help but feel that my yandere transformation comes before Alice's yandere transformation. It may be too late.

"Well, anyway, I want to ask you."

"Isn't it a disadvantage for me as a man if it's a enchantment magic?"

"Of course, that's one of the options. I've taken measures for now, but that maid has a purpose for that situation. That's why I want at least one ally in an unforeseen situation."

It's not that I don't believe in heroines. She is the same reincarnated person and I feel sympathy as a person of the same genre. That's why I am cautious. Well, I have a different purpose.

"...can I ask you just one thing?"

"It doesn't matter if I can answer"

"Even if I don't, is it okay to recognize that I am also a scout at the same time? For Alice-sama's marriage."

"Oh, you've guessed it. Well, I also want excellent human resources."

When Alice marries into the Viscount Lost household, she plans to pull out several people, but one of them includes Beris in front of her. Approval from the Duke should be obtained without any problems. Because she has such a contract behind the scenes. After thinking about my words for a while, Bellis sighed and said.

"I don't have the right to refuse, do I?"

"I don't mind if you refuse, but Alice will be lonely when she gets married."

"That's a complete threat, isn't it?"

"Well, I don't care about that matter. I want you to decide whether or not to accept the surveillance mission."

When I said that, Beris said with a wry smile.

"You really are an amazing person. Lord Lost. I understand. I'll do what we can. But if she use charm magic, I can't fight it, can I?"

"At that time, give up and sacrifice yourself.

"That's also... a very high hurdle, isn't it?"

"Of course, I won't force it."

That heroine will probably approach Beris steadily. In order to increase that chance, I created an excuse of surveillance in this way, and if the two were tied, I would pull them out to my house and the mission would be complete. Well, there are many other things, but it can't be helped because the heroine's help leads to Alice's safety the most, despite her reluctance. And after I nodded to Beris, who agreed with my intentions, my tricks continued.
