I see… So that’s the reason.
When I thought the time to show my skill as servant had come at last, suddenly,
[Fate, you’re sitting here, you know? Not over there, here]
I gave-up and sat on the seat to the right of Roxy. Somehow, it didn’t feel right. In the Royal Capital, I ate meals together with the fellow servants.
When I was thinking in circles inside my head, Roxy who was next to me spoke happily.
I drank the poured wine immediately.
[Roxy-sama, ano… Where is Aisha-sama?]
Then, she answered me while sighing.
[It’s always like this. Whenever I go home, she pushed herself to greet me… Mother is falls asleep on evening]
When I heard her answer, Roxy noticed I stopped eating.
[Fate should not worry about her. It’s alright, when tomorrow comes, I’m sure Mother will be energetic again. It’s just like usual]
Even though Roxy said it with a smile, I felt her real feeling was different.
If I touched her hand, I’ll surely understand what she was thinking on her mind with Mind Reading skill. I wanted to know. However, I thought what would I do if I knew it, so I withdrew my hand.
The fun meal with Roxy was over and I was being guided to the room that I was assigned. On the way, the young maid said something to me.
[I’m happy you came here, Roxy-sama seems to be having fun after a long time]
When you looked at the current situation, it seemed that they were relieved when they saw the cheerful Roxy.
Every year, I heard they appeared in the place descended from the valley that exist further in the north side from here.
I held the Black Sword Greed in my hand, and waited until midnight.
I quietly left the mansion of the Heart family who fell asleep. Tonight, the moon would show my face and it was a splendid night to hunt.
I went to the north and climbed a narrow mountain road.
That was too quick. After that, I waited for a while, there were no other Kobolds showing up. Only two…? I was not satisfied.
