Chapter 7 - (Chapter 6) Butler thinks

"Let's check the current situation"

At night, the good girl is completely in a dream.

When I returned to my room after today's work, I sat down at my desk and decided to sort out this strange situation that had befallen me.

Apparently, I did something called isekai reincarnation.

I don't really know what I'm talking about, but anyway, I lived in a country called Japan in my previous life, and I was run over by a car and died, and then reincarnated as the Crow of the Kingdom of Farrant.

Normally, the memory of the previous life should have disappeared, but it seems that it was remembered by the fact that he almost died by eating Miss Maria's magic.

Some kind of shock brings back the memory of the previous life, well, it's a so-called template.

It is a reincarnation that is often seen in stories, but personality is essentially shaped by memory.

There's no reason why it's okay to suddenly have a lifetime's worth of memories of a stranger hammered into your brain.

Sure enough, by remembering the memories of my previous life, the personality of my previous life appeared, and my ego, which was intensely confused, became unstable.

Thanks to the Ojou-sama, I am calm now, but if I had stayed that way, my personality would probably have collapsed.

Now, the personality of the previous life has disappeared and only memories remain, but it does not mean that there is no effect on the personality at all.

Especially now that the haze that hung over my head has cleared, I feel that I am returning to my personality before I was picked up by the Ojou-sama.

Even so, his admiration for the Ojou-sama has not disappeared, and if he can work as the Ojou-sama's butler, it will not be a big problem.

"Fufufu, fufufu..."

More than that, I have something to check now.

A web novel that I used to read in my previous life to kill time. Among them, humans who were reincarnated in another world generally had some special ability, the so-called cheat ability.

Normally, it would be ridiculed as a creation, but as long as they are reincarnating in another world, which is the same creation, there should be a possibility.

And I know his special ability.

「...」

He picks up one of the magic jewels on the desk and looks at it.

There have been a few reported cases in which even people who do not have magical powers are awakened by some kind of slash.

After the experience of dying, I think I can use magic now that I have remembered the memories of my previous life.

You may be able to get the symbol of absolute power that you have longed for for a long time.

Why not expect it?

"The image of pouring magic into the body..."

I close my eyelids and concentrate while remembering what the Ojou-sama taught me before.

Since it is my first time, I will try basic magic this time.

"Let's go..., 'Wind ball'!"

When you open your eyes and shout the magic name that fixes the technique, magic appears... Not.

"No, not yet..."

Each person has only one attribute.

It was just that one of the six attributes of fire, water, wind, earth, light, and darkness was not suitable.

"Next, Fireball!"

I grabbed the next magic gem and chanted the magic name again.

...

"Well, I had that feeling from the middle..."

Result? It's a total defeat.

Since then, I have tried magic using magic gems of all attributes, but magic has not appeared, let alone I could not even grasp the sense of magic.

Who's the guy who said that if you reincarnate in another world, you will get special abilities? Isn't that a complete lie?

"I can't help it..."

While putting away the useless magic jewels, he shifts his thoughts to the next possibility.

Although magic could not be used, there is another type of isekai reincarnation thing besides those that gain cheat abilities and are active.

It's a knowledge cheat.

It is a way to take advantage by using otherworldly knowledge that is not in this world.

"You don't need any special abilities, so you won't fail."

I ran my pen and wrote down any knowledge cheats I could come up with.

Farming Cheats

... It's not like a mere office worker is familiar with such agriculture.

In the first place, food production is not great enough to interfere in important parts, and if you simply want to increase production, you can do anything with magic.

Isekai Cooking Cheats

... There is no way that a man who mainly used to eat out and convenience store bento boxes could not understand cooking.

In the first place, this world, there is almost anything to eat in a previous life, so it is meaningless.

This world, no matter how you look at it, is a medieval European-style worldview, but Japanese food and Chinese food exist normally, and there is no room for me to play an active role.

Weapon cheats with firearms

... I'm not a miliota, and I don't know much about guns.

Even if you could, would you just use gunpowder to shoot bullets stronger than magic?

....

No, no, there must be something.

If you use a hobby or special skill from a previous life...

Hobbies, drinking and sex work.

Special skills, apologetic skills that have been used and honed against superiors and business partners.

"I can use it..."

When I look at the paper I wrote down, my face twitches involuntarily.

What's this incompetence. It's surprisingly useless.

There must be something more like this.

This was my previous life, and I started to want to die a little.

"Uh..., Mr. Crow?"

"Hmm...!"

When I was appalled by the unusability of my previous life, I was suddenly called out in a room where no one was supposed to be.

I looked up in surprise and before I knew it, a girl dressed as a maid was standing on the other side of the desk.

"Eins, why are you here?" I don't remember giving you permission to enter."

"I'm sorry, I knocked, but I didn't get a reply, so I'm worried."

When she conceals her inner turmoil and condemns her, the maid girl called Eins bows her head expressionlessly.

I see, it was my mistake that I was so focused that I didn't notice the knock.

No wonder she worries about me getting sick.

――And I realize that I have thought about it that much.

「... How long have you been watching?"

The fact that he came into the room when he was concentrating naturally meant that he had seen the scene where I was worried about the cheat of another world reincarnation...

"Since Crow-sama was laying out the Magic Jewels."

Almost from the very beginning!

I was seen desperately practicing magic that didn't even manifest itself, or I want to die...

Or rather, do you really think it's bad when answering clearly?

「...」

He stared at Eins' face in front of him, but he couldn't read her emotions from his face, which was still expressionless.

"You didn't see or hear anything, okay?"

It was a failure to be seen, but it was a blessing in disguise that the other party was her.

She wouldn't say that.

Thinking so, I convinced myself by force, and decided to order him to stop.

"Yes sir. . . Mr. Crow."

"What?"

"If you need magic, tell us anytime..."

"Forget about it!"

No, it's not like that, I just wanted to use it.

Everyone has a time when they yearn for that kind of power! Leave me alone!

The delicate part of my heart was removed, and I almost cried a little.

"And what's it for?"

It took a little time to stabilize his mind, but he changed his mind and turned to Eins.

"Sorry Mr. Crow."

Again she bows her head.

Naturally, it is a different story from the previous one.

But I couldn't think of any particular reason for her to apologize, so I tilted my head.

"What are you talking about?"

"It is our fault that we could not protect Miss Isabella and put crow in danger.

"Oh..."

I see, I don't understand what she says.

In addition to caring for the Lord, the squire also has the role of an escort in case of emergency.

If the Lord is attacked by someone, the guard knights will naturally clear the enemy, but if there is an entity that breaks through the knights, the squires will be the last bastion to protect the Lord.

In that respect, she couldn't protect the Ojou-sama.Tatsu・is probably a squire disqualification.

"That can't be helped, it's not your fault."

However, it is also true that there was no choice in that situation.

Even I, who was the closest, was just in time, and it wasn't something they could do about it because they were working remotely.

Besides, if you want to blame them, you need to blame the guard knights who were waiting outside the school.

It would be overkill to go that far.

I don't expect them to play that role in the first place.

They are secret detectives that I personally own to carry out the orders of the Ojou-sama, and the maids are just letting them do it as an afterthought.

Of course, there are such people in the duke's family, but they are the property of the husband of the duke's family, that is, Miss Isabella's father.

I couldn't use them for the Ojou-sama's selfishness, but I was overwhelmingly not enough to fulfill the Ojou-sama's orders.

Then he came up with the idea of bringing orphans in the slums, properly educating them, and turning them into secret detectives.

Anyway, it's a life that is produced and consumed like an idiot there, and there will be no problem if you use it a little.

That's how I started, and it worked out better than I expected.

The number of snitches gradually increased, and now they are large enough to cover the entire royal capital.

The reason why such a secret detective is a maid is that she is nearby and it is easy for me to give instructions, but if anything, it is because there is a lack of servants to take care of the Ojou-sama.

The Ojou-sama has a tough personality as she is, so the exclusive servants leave me and all quit, and the servants who work in the mansion do not want to take care of the Ojou-sama very much.

Therefore, as a bitter measure, several trustworthy subordinates are placed on the Ojou-sama's side as maids.

"But..."

Even though he says that he will not ask, the usually obedient Eins eats down unusually this time.

She was the first orphan I picked up and now serves as a liaison for the secret detectives.

Therefore, he must feel particularly responsible for this matter.

But there is no reason to deal with such sentimentality.

"Oh no, I said I wouldn't ask you about this case, or what? Are you going against my decision?"

「... Huh! No, I don't mean to. I'm sorry."

Looking at Eins, who shakes his shoulders and bows his head deeply, he reflects on whether he said a little too much.

There had never been such an incident before.

I don't understand her frustration at being proud of her work.

"Excuse me."

"Wait."

"What is it?"

When Eins stops her as she finishes talking and is about to leave the room, he releases the healing pill she took out of her bangles.

How long are you going to show such an ugly burn to the Ojou-sama?"

For some reason, from the moment he entered the room, half of Eins' face was burned and red.

Perhaps he was poured hot tea on the Ojou-sama, but it was troublesome to appear in front of the Ojou-sama with such a face.

「... Oh."

"Hmm?"

"Thank you, Mr. Crow!"

"Oh, oh..."

Where did the expressionless expression from earlier go, Eins was smiling ecstatically as his body trembled.

And as she left the room with a bottle of healing pills in her arms as if handling a treasure, I could only watch her dumbfounded.

"I wonder what it is..."

Alone in the room, I collapsed on the back of a chair.

I just wanted an obedient pawn, so how did that happen?

It's useful in many ways, but all my men are loyal to me personally, not to the Ojou-sama.

I know I'm thankful for taking you out of that slum, but it's hard to be directed at a kind of worship-like emotion.

"Huh..."

Having subordinates who are too loyal is also an idea.

When I thought about it, I sighed heavily.

Name: Isabella Variers

Gender: Female

Daughter of the Dukes of Variers and fiancée of Prince Albert.

He is a disturbing character in the story, and basically any route interferes with the heroine and the target of capture, so it's.

Well, it's scary to see the punishment hit at the end and ruin.

In fact, towards the end, I was looking forward to seeing this woman's destruction.

By triggering this woman's harassment event 20 times, you will be able to capture the hidden character Crow.

Abandon that Crow, stupid woman.
