"Oh, what is this place?"
I came across the restaurant when I finished eating ice cream and was strolling around the city again.
The Ojou-sama who found the shop in an alley off the main street stretched out her back and looked beyond the window to see what was going on, but honestly she didn't know what the store was.
"Please wait a moment."
"Well, okay, you'll find out when you come in."
"Ojou!"
I opened my notebook and tried to look up more information, but before I could do so, the Ojou-sama opened the door and walked into the store, and I hurriedly followed her.
In the store, colorful fabrics were hung on hangers and displayed.
At first glance, it looks like underwear, but if you look closely, the design and material are different.
If anything, this is--
"This is... Is it a swimsuit?"
Yes, all the swimsuits lined up in the store were swimsuits.
I had never seen it in this world before, but it could be in this seaside resort.
To be honest, I don't think there is any use for it outside of this city, but it is probably not a problem because the only people who come to such places are aristocrats who have a lot of time and money.
Anyway, I mean...
"It's all wonderfully female..."
I choose a swimsuit that hangs nearby and pick it up, but of course it is a women's swimsuit.
I looked around, but there were only a few men's swimsuits in the corner of the store, and most of the store was women's swimsuits.
Well, what a man's swimsuit is appropriate.
"Oh, that's not a good thing, if you have this, you'll find a swimsuit that suits me."
"That's just as well."
I smile wryly as I put my swimsuit back on.
To be honest, I think that a Ojou-sama's outstanding proportions would look good in anything, but it would be naïve to say that to a Ojou-sama who is choosing a swimsuit with a twinkle in her eye.
"Hehe, come on."
While we were having such an exchange, a man who seemed to be the owner finally appeared from the back of the store.
The slightly younger owner rubbed his hands and approached the Ojou-sama to serve customers.
"Have you decided on anything, Guest?"
"I'm still choosing."
There is also a fitting room over there, so if you find a product you like, please feel free to use it. I'll be in the back, so please ring the counter bell if you need me."
If you say that much to the Ojou-sama who continues to choose a swimsuit, the man who is the owner will retreat to the back again.
There don't seem to be any other clerks, and the attitude is that they are really willing to sell products.
"What, you dishonest clerk."
「...」
The Ojou-sama didn't seem to like the owner's attitude, but I was more worried than that.
That shopkeeper, while pretending to be a customer service, was looking at the Ojou-sama's body with eyes that licked around.
To be honest, I can't stand it, but this is often the case because the Ojou-sama is too beautiful.
The question is:
"Eins"
"Yes, here."
If you murmur softly so as not to be noticed by the Ojou-sama who is obsessed with choosing a swimsuit, Eins will appear right next to you without a sound.
"Check out this store right now, especially the fitting room."
"Hah."
I close my eyes as I see Eins, who has disappeared into the shadows again to carry out the order.
I knew the shopkeeper's lustful eyes very well.
──That's the eyes of slum crap when they aim for their prey.
"Mr. Crow, I would like to report something——"
"I see..."
He waited a few minutes while watching the Ojou-sama and nodded slightly at Eins' report when he returned.
To be honest, I wanted it to come off, but unfortunately it seems to have been exactly what I expected.
If so, should we move immediately?
"I'll leave it to you, Ojou-sama."
"Yes sir."
"Hey, Crow, where are you going?"
When I left the Ojou-sama to Eins and tried to head to the back of the store where the owner disappeared earlier, I was stopped by the Ojou-sama who should have been looking at the swimsuit earlier.
I can't talk honestly here, so I have to mislead them somehow.
"I'll talk to the owner for a bit, and she can just keep shopping."
"So? Make it quick."
「... Uh-huh."
Am I laughing well now?
We must only avoid casting a shadow on the Ojou-sama's heart by such a bad thing.
Suppressing the passion that dwelled deep in my chest, I turned my back on the Ojou-sama.
"Fuhihi, it's been a long time since I've had a good ball..."
In the room at the back of the shop, the owner is smiling languidly as he stares at a crystal ball on his desk.
The crystal ball in front of the shopkeeper showed an image of another crystal on the ceiling of the fitting room, and a beautiful blonde girl who had just arrived in the fitting room had just entered the fitting room with a maid.
"Look, quick, quick..."
Suppressing his distraction, the shopkeeper stares at the crystal as if to bite into it.
The crystals of this world have the property of being able to project images and sounds obtained by one crystal on the other by resonating with other crystals, and are mainly used for communication between cities.
The shopkeeper, who once held the position of a kingdom magician, was a criminal who abused this magic to voyeurize women's nakedness, and even used the footage to threaten women and force them to act.
His actions were revealed by a sudden slash and he was driven from the royal capital, but he managed to escape the pursuit of the knights and reach this city.
Now, ostensibly running a swimsuit store, he makes huge profits by voyeurizing the changing clothes of customers and selling the footage to illegal organizations that exist in the city's underworld.
"Oh? What the hell..."
He was a man who was licking his tongue and waiting for the moment when the customer would take off his clothes, but in the video, he noticed that the maid with the maid was acting strangely and gave him a suspicious expression.
『...』
Straight This side(・・・・)The maid girl gracefully plucks the edge of her skirt, bows, and slowly moves her mouth as if to convey something.
(Come on, yo, uh, na... What? ）
He was a former elite magician of the kingdom, and he couldn't read words from the movements of his mouth.
The moment the man tried to understand the meaning of the words, the image was covered in darkness and he could not see anything.
"Oh! Why, it was a good place! Animal life, this hebo crystal! I'm going to in a place like this!"
The man gets up from his chair at the sudden situation, grabs the crystal and screams.
I try to cast magic on the crystal to see if the image can be restored, but the image still doesn't show up, just my face in the dark.
「... Oh?"
But that's why I realized it.
Behind the man who was reflected in the crystal due to the pitch darkness, I saw someone trying to swing a white blade down.
"Ugh!?"
Immediately after the man jumped sideways with a roar, the desk he had been sitting on earlier was shattered with a roar.
Naturally, the crystal on the desk was not safe, but countless fragments scattered around along with the remains of the desk.
I wish I could have done it with one blow, but it doesn't work that well."
In the center of the wreckage, the man who created the devastation was smiling without much concern.
"Teme..., who are you?"
My name is Crow, and I'm Miss Isabella's personal butler."
"Butler?"
The shopkeeper, who managed to stand up from his jumping position, glares at the intruder in front of him, but is confused by the man who puts his hand on his chest and bows gracefully without paying attention to such a gaze.
Indeed, if you look closely, you can see that this man named Crow is wearing that of a typical butler's uniform.
It was probably the servant of the customer's woman, but to be honest, I didn't notice it because I had only seen the prey woman.
"And what's that butler for?"
"I'm not interested in your hobbies, but if you want to dabble in the Ojou-sama, I have no choice but to deal with it.
Smashing the large fragment of crystal lying at his feet, Crow's eyes shot straight through the shopkeeper.
(Hmm... Is it all revealed?)
When the shopkeeper realizes that he cannot be fooled, he thinks about how to overcome this situation.
Perhaps the reason why the crystal image was no longer shown earlier was because they did something about it.
(I was caught off guard earlier, but after all, they are just commoners.)
I don't feel any magic from the butler in front of me.
On the other hand, even though he had already been expelled, he was originally a kingdom magician.
Commoners and nobles, it can be said that the victory or defeat has already been decided.
"So, how about me?
"Flare Lancer!"
The shopkeeper's flaming spear hits Crow, who warns again, and the explosive flames cover the room.
I couldn't have been stumped in that situation.
Commoners should not be safe from eating magic of that power, and they will probably die instantly.
"Ha, I wish I had lived a long life if I hadn't done anything extra."
The shopkeeper laughs mockingly at the poor butler, who is still burning in flames.
Now that I had touched this man for the time being, I could no longer obediently return that guest woman.
However, it was a superb body, and there was no option not to enjoy it from the beginning, so the result is the same either way.
"Rest assured, I'll send your husband to the same place as you when he's satisfied with you."
This is like a spice of excitement about that customer's woman from now on, and it doesn't mean much.
"What did you just say?"
Therefore, it was a completely unexpected event that there was a being who reacted to the words.
"What!?"
As the flames were sliced and drowned out, an intact Crow appeared, upsetting the shopkeeper.
"I think I heard a lot of nasty words, but say it again."
(What?) The atmosphere has just changed...? ）
"I see, a magic tool, but I just put out such a toy!"
The shopkeeper noticed the dense killing spirit that Crowe wore, but he didn't care much because like many other nobles, there was an unconscious contempt for commoners.
Therefore, it is no wonder that commoners, who were originally overrun by the nobility like dust, did not realize that it was an unusual situation in which they dealt with magic unscathed.
"Actually, I was going to neutralize it appropriately and shove it to the Knights, but I didn't.
"You're going to kill me here and now."
"Don't be lazy, it's a commoner's atmosphere! 'Flare Javelin'!"
The shopkeeper, a former nobleman with a high degree of pride, is enraged by the remark in the tone of a lowly commoner, and unleashes a more powerful magic than before.
The weak point of the magic tool is its weak output.
It was prevented earlier, but it cannot be prevented by this magic, which boasts one of the highest attack power among the magic possessed by the shopkeeper.
"Disturbing"
"What...!?"
Crow flashed such a deadly blow with the knife in his hand without incident, and the magic disappeared as just magic.
The shopkeeper froze at this unusual sight.
It's an imitation of the nobility, but I can do this."
"What...?"
Crow said it didn't seem like a big deal, but the shopkeeper couldn't help but be appalled when he understood what he was doing.
Sure, nobles, especially knights, can cut magic, but that's just forcibly offsetting magic with the magic of the blade.
It is definitely not a technique to cut the core of magic and make it disappear, as the butler in front of you did.
In a situation where if the aim is missed even slightly, it will kill instantly, and it is impossible for an ordinary person to identify only a really small nucleus.
"Oh... It's a coincidence, it's a coincidence! Hey, I'm going to die! 'Flare Javelin'"
As if to hide his inner turmoil, the shopkeeper unleashes a flaming spear twice and thrice, but Crow cuts them all off and extinguishes them.
「... Is it like this?"
"Oh, it's impossible..."
It may have been dismissed by accident once, but it was only after successively being incapacitated by his own magic that the shopkeeper noticed the abnormality of the butler in front of him.
"Maybe you're really that good?
Don't make fun of me with commoner style!"
"Don't you know it's useless? After all, it's a miscellaneous fish..."
The shopkeeper is furious at Crowe's attitude, which clearly looks down on him, and he casts a series of magic, but he is still cut off and his body is not scratched.
",,,! Hit! You've been hit!"
Nonetheless, the shopkeeper continues to unleash magic like crazy.
As a nobleman, he could never admit that he was inferior to a commoner.
「...」
"Come on, don't come!"
In such a rain of magic, Crow dodges with the minimum necessary movements, and slowly begins to walk towards the shopkeeper, wielding a knife to extinguish the inevitable objects.
The sight was nothing but a nightmare for the shopkeeper.
The appearance of Crow approaching one step at a time without worrying about this attack is like a shinigami with his jet-black eyes.
"Enhancement"
"What..., disappear!?"
When the shopkeeper momentarily distracts from his enemies in order to use magic, Crow uses an enhanced spell to disappear from his sight.
「... Ahh Hands... My hand is a
In the next moment, Crow entered his pocket and flashed the knife and cut off the shopkeeper's right hand with a catalyst magic ring on it.
The shopkeeper is unable to react to the momentary events, and the sound of his hand falling finally makes him understand the situation and kicks his wrist, which continues to bleed.
But Crow wasn't merciful enough to let that slip away.
"Hah!"
"Gubo...!"
Crow sticks his toe into the belly of the shopkeeper who kicked him and kicks him away.
By the time he slammed into the wall and collapsed to the floor, the shopkeeper had completely lost his fighting spirit.
"Ugh..."
(How to be?) What should I do!? ）
Hearing Crow's approaching footsteps, the shopkeeper ponders to survive.
I lost the Magic Stone Ring, which is the catalyst for magic, but fortunately I have a spare magic stone.
Somehow——
"Aa
While he was pondering, the shopkeeper suddenly ran to the pain in his ears.
And the feeling of slimy blood on my cheeks.
(No way...)
"Did you have it hidden, I'll always retrieve it."
Crow retrieves the shopkeeper's ears that fell to the ground and the magic stone earrings attached to them.
Even the last magic stone was taken away and completely helpless, but more than that, the shopkeeper felt a fear that he did not know how many times he retrieved the magic stone as if he had known from the beginning.
They're clearly used to it.
It's called the first attack, it's called the incapacitation technique, and it's not the first human move to deal with a nobleman.
As if he had dealt with nobles like this many times.
"Oh, it was bad, I was bad! I'm sorry, I won't do it anymore! Yes, I'll give you the information on the organization I was dealing with. I was just ordered by them."
The moment he thought about it, the shopkeeper was begging for his life with all his might.
There is no longer pride or humility as an aristocrat.
More than that, I was just scared of the man in front of me right now.
「...」
"Oh, uh..."
Crow knelt in front of the shopkeeper and smiled.
The shopkeeper was saved for the time being, and tried to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is that all you have to say?"
My vision turned red.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Feeling a burning pain in his right eye, the shopkeeper screams.
When I looked at it with my left eye, which was somehow safe, I saw that the knife that Crow was holding was stuck in the part where the right eye was.
(Why, what, what?) ）
"I don't know what you're misunderstanding, but I don't care what crimes you commit and I'm not interested."
With a screeching noise, a knife is pulled out of his right eye.
The tip of the knife was pierced with bloody eyeballs.
"Ahhh Oh..."
"But you've tried to get your hands on the Ojou-sama! Ojou! Greeting you! You can dabble in it! Woman! Hey!"
"Gah!? Gah, gaa
When the shopkeeper, who can no longer resist, rides a horse, Crow swings the knife in his hand down in anger over and over again.
Every time he thrust the knife into his body, fresh blood splattered and stained Crow's body bright red, but he didn't seem to care much and just swung the knife down, which was full of madness.
I don't want to die...!"
"Rest assured, the life force of the nobles is quite reluctant, they won't die so easily. Even if not, in the end, everyone will beg you to kill them."
"I hate it!"
The shopkeeper makes a final begging for his life, to which Crow responds by swinging a knife with a distorted grin.
In front of those dark jet-black eyes, the shopkeeper could only scream.
「... What, is it broken yet?"
The voice that had been muttering something earlier completely stopped, and the shopkeeper stopped completely moving with empty eyes, so he stopped the knife he had rarely stabbed.
I tried grabbing his head several times and slamming him against the wall, but there was no response.
Apparently it was completely broken.
"Well, okay."
If it's broken, there's no use for it anymore.
A flash of a knife makes a thumping sound from the shopkeeper's body and his neck falls.
When I confirmed that, I stood up and stretched slightly.
Wow, it's covered in blood..."
Finally, I noticed that my clothes were stained black with blood.
I can't go back to the Ojou-sama in this state.
"That was magnificent, Master."
"Zwei?"
As I was thinking about this, I saw a blue-haired maid wearing glasses standing in front of me.
If Eins is my No. 1, Zwei is No. 2.
When I leave the Ojou-sama to Eins, like this one, she often acts as a support role for me.
"I'm going to ask for you first, because I can't go back."
"Yes, excuse me then, 'Clean'"
Zwei gently puts his hand on my bloody clothes.
A mass of water emerged from the palm of his hand, enveloping my whole body in a moment before bursting and disappearing the next moment.
Later, the clothes are left clean as if they were freshly wholesaled.
"It's as stunning as ever."
"Thank you."
I have heard that the effectiveness of purification magic varies depending on the skill of the user, but Zwei's work can only be described as superb.
It's Eins, it's Zwei, and I think I picked it up really well.
"I will return to the Ojou-sama, and you will ask you to destroy the evidence."
Master, how about the organization that man was talking about?"
It's troublesome, so you can impose it on the Knights of this city, and that's not where we're involved."
"Yes sir."
We originally came on vacation.
To be honest, I don't want to spend any more time on extra things.
Besides, I don't want to get involved with the Knights any more.
They're well paid, so let's be useful at times like this.
"I'm back, Ojou-sama."
I wonder what the hell you were doing!"
When I managed to get back to the store, I found a Ojou-sama waiting for me with a blue streak on her forehead.
The owner was reluctant and took longer than I expected.
"I'm sorry."
"It's too late, so I've already finished choosing my swimsuit."
"What?! What...!"
Hearing the Ojou-sama's words, I collapsed to my knees.
More than that, I missed the precious Ojou-sama's swimsuit.
What a blunder.
If this was the case, I should have stopped the shopkeeper's breath immediately...
"What... What, suddenly..."
In despair, I hear the confused voice of the Ojou-sama above my head.
But now, the shock of not being able to see the Ojou-sama in her swimsuit is too great to move.
"Ojou, perhaps Crowe is very shocked that he couldn't see her in a swimsuit."
"Huh? Is that so?"
I can hear a voice that sounds like Eins and the Ojou-sama are talking, but I can't do it anymore.
It's depression... I want to die...
"Even if it wasn't a big deal for the Ojou-sama, I think it was important to Crow-sama, especially since I heard that men like to wear women's swimsuits..."
I'll show you as much as I can in my swimsuit later."
"It's true, isn't it!? Ojou, it's a promise!"
When I heard that the Ojou-sama was going to show me her swimsuit, I jumped up immediately.
He grabbed the Ojou-sama's hand firmly and looked into her eyes.
"I don't feel bad if you say that! I'm going to show you my beautiful swimsuit, so be honored!"
"It's a Ojou-sama."
"Of course not! Oh ho ho ho!"
After getting her swimsuit and feeling good, the Ojou-sama went straight back to the mansion.
