The Case About The Ladies From A Noble Family Who Turned Out to Be Yanderes After I Saved Them - CH 12

X X X

Furious, a blond man was watching the square from a distance.

“Darn it! I was supposed to defeat the undead monsters! My plan was for me, a Class 4, to defeat the Undead Nephilim and prove in front of everyone that I am a man worthy of the Medici family which would lay the groundwork for me to become a Class 5!”

The man put strength into his hand that was holding a glass bottle containing the highest grade holy water that he obtained from a foreign land.

But even if he were to defeat the Undead Nephilim with this holy water, his magical power was not supposed to be strengthened enough to become a Class 5.

In his eagerness to gain fame equivalent to Class 5, he was blind to reality.

“Do you know how much money I had to spent to transport the f*****g undeads over here! That b*****d! Who the h**l is that guy!”

After defeating the Undead Nephilim, taking advantage of the chaos, we were quietly making our way through the square to the Medici house. It was already not the time of day for girls to be wandering around town. Plus, the emergency alarm went off. So there was no one else on this street where we were walking. The only sounds were the footsteps of me, Alice, and the two maids.

We slipped out after checking that an adventurer who could heal was tending to the wounded adventurers and the knights. I prayed for their speedy recovery.

As I sighed to hide my mixed feelings, Alice, who was walking next to me, stumbled.

“?”

“Alice! Are you okay?”

“Yes, it’s just a sprain. A sprain. I didn’t notice it when we were fighting, but now that the tension is gone… it’s no big deal.”

“No, it’s a big deal. Let me see what happened.”

“…”

I was still in the habit of being active in the Special Forces, so I quickly bent down and looked at Alice’s legs.

It was a little too dark to see.

“Summon- hand light…”

I casted a spell and a portable hand light appeared, powered by the 18650 lithium-ion battery I always used. Turning it on I shined it on Alice’s leg.

“It’s a little swollen. We’ve got quite a walk to the Medici house, and I don’t think you can make it with this leg. Here.”

“H-Haruto…”

I squatted down and turned my back to Alice. It was to give her a piggy-back ride.

But soon I realized two important facts.

Alice was not my employee,

And Alice was a lady.

I stood up with my mouth hanging open.

“Sorry, I’m sorry. I just got into the habit. There are two maids here, so it’s not something I should meddle in, is it?”

I said, scratching the back of my hair.

“Haruto… what do you mean by usual habits?”

“I was a soldier. If any of my men had a sprained leg, I would put them on my back. The leg is a very important part of a soldier’s body. Even a minor sprain can be irreversible if you overdo it.”

“Ohh?”

“Yeah.”

Alice’s cheeks were red as her eyes swayed. She must be upset. It was not long after such a terrible incident… I was too insensitive. As I sighed in my mind at my own pettiness, the two maids chuckled and said.

“Ara! Actually, I sprained my foot too… Lindsey… please! Give me a piggyback ride!”

“Elyse… ah! Got it. Haruto-sama, I’m sorry, can you please take care of Miss Alice for me…?”

“Y-yes?”

The maid named Elyse said so and quickly put the maid named Lindsey on her back who was walking briskly a moment ago though… Well, since they were running very fast to lure the Undead Nephilim… it couldn’t be helped.

I fluttered my eyes open and looked at Alice.

She was…

… staring at me with her deep blue eyes.

It was very similar to the look she had given me when I dropped Carol off at the Medici’s. It was an expression as if she was desperately trying to hold something back. But if I tried to know that, I would drown in those deep blue eyes.

Let’s ask her if I could give her a piggyback ride for now.

“Alice, are you fine with me?”

“Gladly.”

“I see.”

That’s good. I was a little concerned about being rejected, but if she was okay with it, then there’s no problem.

Well, in fact, I had carried the young daughter of a superior officer in addition to my subordinate. So I should have some tolerance for it.

“Here you go.”

“Eehehh.”

I put Alice on my back.

And then…

“!!!”

I felt a sensation softer than a marshmallow on my back. Her slender arms gently rubbed my shoulders, and the flesh of her stomach gently enveloped me. And above all.

Her huge soft b*****s…

I was shocked at how such soft things could exist in the world, a far cry from the stern gymnast subordinates and small children. And what’s this luscious aroma which was stimulating my brain tremendously?

But I must not disappoint her. I must not make her feel uncomfortable. With this in mind, I asked,

“Alice… is there any inconvenience?”

“Please, let me stay like this… forever.”

“I u-understand.”

You liked this posture, right? Good. Let’s keep it like this the whole way and move to the mansion.

Her two huge marshmallows were pushing in to swallow my back and the backs of Alice’s thighs were so soft that my fingers were digging it.

I moved forward, bracing myself for this stimulation.

“Thank you for helping me. It was wonderful magic.”

And so I whispered.

We arrived at the mansion. Needless to say, on the way there, the guards swooned when they saw Alice and me.

Currently, I dropped Alice off and we were both waiting at the huge door. Incidentally, the two maids (Lindsey and Elyse) were not here because they went inside first.

Soon, the thick door opened and two beautiful women in easy-to-move dresses appeared, staring at us wistfully.

Then,

“Sister Alice! Are you safe?”

“Yes, I’m fine. Has Carol been a good girl?”

“Yes…”

As soon as Carol saw Alice, her eyes moistened and she ran to her. Alice gently ruffled Carol’s pink hair, feeling that her own sister was such a cutie.

I almost loosened my face at such a happy sight, but I bowed my head to Agnes-san who was standing by my side.

“Please forgive me, Agnes-san.”

“Ara? Why are you apologizing, Haruto-sama?”

“Because of me Alice’s legs got sprained since I asked her to help me defeat the Undead Nephilim. I was careless, and because of me…” [TLN- huh? Seriously?]

“It’s not Haruto’s fault! I’m sorry. I just sprained my foot on my own!”

She was the heir to the title of duke.

I should have been more careful.

But,

Agnes-san said,

“This can’t be… you’ve been fighting the Undead Nephilim!?”

“Ha, yes.”

“So, do you mean to say that Haruto-sama defeated that Undead Nephilim?”

“Well… yes, but thanks to the help of Alice and the two maids…”

I looked away a little apologetically, and two maids (Lindsey and Elyse), peeking inside the room, said,

“Agnes-sama, Haruto-sama has summoned a very powerful weapon and used it to defeat the huge monster, the Undead Nephilim! Ah! By the way, Miss Alice also used that magic during the fight!”

“Hundreds of knights and adventurers tried, but they failed. At that time, Haruto-sama gave us and Miss Alice precise instructions, and we followed them. As a result, we and Miss Alice were able to stall the Undead Nephilim, and Haruto-sama defeated it with his very strong summoned weapon.”

Hearing the two maids’ story, Agnes-san stared at me with her mouth half open. As if time had stopped and she looked like a sculptor’s statue of a goddess.

After a few moments,

Agnes-san bewitchingly opened her mouth and said,

“I am so impressed with your wisdom and power… to protect this country from the threat of the undead monsters by giving precise instructions to my daughter and her servants… impressive… besides, I can’t believe Alice would use that magic to defeat the monster…”

“No, no… I didn’t do anything to deserve the praise. Besides, Alice was hurt because of me…”

“Haruto-sama.”

“…”

“You have to pay the right price to get something. If it’s only a minor sprain, it’s cheap…”

“Huh, yes?”

I asked back because she said something that didn’t make sense, but Agnes-san narrowed her eyes and looked at me and Alice alternately.

“Don’t worry about the sprain. It’s already late at night, so if you want, why don’t you stay the night?”

“Ah, it’s alright. I have a lot of plans for tomorrow, so I’m going back to the inn.”

“Inn you say…”

Agnes-san gave me a meaningful look. I was sorry to stay over at all costs. I couldn’t afford to cause any more trouble.

It was time to go then.

As I was thinking that, Alice suddenly cleared her throat and then spoke.

“Mother, Carol. I have decided to hold a party here for Haruto because he saved us the other day. Of course, that means that Haruto will also attend… so Dear Mother and Carol together can we…”

“Dear Sister… is it true? Is it really true that Haruto-sama will come to our house again?”

Carol looked at me with a hopeful look in her eyes.

“I’ve decided to take you up on your offer.”

“Waah… Mama!”

“Oh my! Carol…”

Carol hugged Agnes-san and was delighted. Perhaps loving her own daughter like that, Agnes-san gently brushed Carol’s soft hair.

I realised now that I should have accepted the favors of this beautiful mother and daughter sooner.

We then set a concrete date.

The after that,

“Thank you very much for everything you did for me today. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”

“Onii-s… Haruto-sama! Have a safe trip home! I look forward to seeing you again!”

“See you again, Haruto.”

I was about to turn on my heel after saying goodbye to her, when I heard,

“Haruto-sama, there will be a surprise for you!”

I couldn’t look directly into Agnes-san’s green eyes that seemed to suck me in, so I gave her a smile and a silent reply before heading home.

Both Agnes-san, Alice, and Carol occasionally sent me a gaze like drowning me in. Their personalities were different, but every time I felt their gaze, which contained a mysterious power, I was reminded that those three beautiful women were really alike.

I wanted to return the favor. There was nothing false about that feeling, and the only person at fault was myself, who cannot honestly accept their feelings, using the death of my parents as an excuse.

Let’s join the party and have fun.

I thought to myself and exhaled as I looked at the moon.

The three beauties stood there after Haruto left, not returning to the room. They were said to be the most beautiful women in the kingdom of Laodecia, and they were moping and looking sadly at the way Haruto left.

They kept staring at his figure…….while licking their lips.
