"What are these two doing..."
Kishi's expression was subtle as he watched the two elves slaughtering the thieves like phantoms. Instinctively, he took two steps back.
Maybe I shouldn't have come to check on this. It might be better to return to Alpha and the others now.
The girls, who had previously behaved like docile puppies before him, now displayed a scene more intense than that of berserkers.
Honestly, the impact was considerable.
As for what Beta and Epsilon had been flaunting to each other earlier, here's Kishi's testimony:
"When Epsilon was on duty a few days ago, she changed her hairstyle thirty times in one day. I felt I couldn't praise her enough, so I did."
"And last time, when I was out for a night walk, I found Beta peeking into my room while hugging a pillow. When she was caught, she acted coy and said she wanted to hear a bedtime story like she did when she was little."
So, whether it was excessive praise for her hair or telling a story, Kishi didn't do it voluntarily. Thus, what exactly were these two flaunting? It felt hollow and inexplicable.
After some hesitation, Kishi waved to a nearby orc girl. The called girl immediately ran over and knelt on one knee.
"Lord Kishi, what are your orders?"
"Well, Alpha is already done. I came here to check... what's happening now."
"...I'm just performing a very ordinary mission, please don't mind."
"Yes, right."
Kishi decided not to delve further.
Even if he held a very high prestige among the girls in the courtyard, he was, after all, a man, and there was an unbridgeable gap between him and the girls known as gender.
It was said in the books from his previous life that this was understandable. After all, men and women are beings who can never fully understand each other. Their inability to understand each other is so great that they can even conquer the world.
"Lord, Lord!" x2
At the same time, Beta and Epsilon noticed Kishi's arrival. They dashed towards him and knelt down in front of him, almost teleporting.
Then, the most perfect smile instinctively appeared on their faces.
"…"
Honestly, their smiles were beautiful. Usually, Kishi would smile back, but now...
"Ahem, about that? You two should wipe the blood off your faces first."
"Huh?" x2
Beta and Epsilon blinked, and after glancing at each other, they realized the issue... They were too focused on fighting and seemed to have forgotten to maintain their appearance!
I slightly recall it in my mind.
"!!!"x2
They both wanted to bury their heads in the ground.
[Oh my, what have I done! The Lord cannot see this.]
[The perfect image I've maintained before the Lord is now completely ruined!]
The young girls around them sensibly closed their eyes and expressed their understanding. Everyone wanted to maintain a perfect image in front of the Lord.
The two adults of the Seven Shadows were now facing an image crisis. The thought of being hated by the Lord was unbearable. Just thinking about it made them feel like dying.
Beta and Epsilon lowered their heads and shivered. This embarrassed and humble posture wouldn't even appear if an enemy held a sword to their necks.
But now the possibility of being hated by Kishi had emerged.
"Ahem, I didn't see anything when I first arrived. I didn't expect you two to be so efficient. Well, it's excellent. Is there any reward you want?"
"Lord, Lord?" x2
Beta and Epsilon looked up suddenly, their eyes full of disbelief and surprise. It was like finding an oasis in the desert.
There's hope for help this time!!!
"How dare we, my lord? It is our honor to serve you."
"That's right. For the Lord's lofty ideals, we will definitely remove all obstacles."
At this moment, the two of them had the illusion that they had survived a desperate situation. They never expected that not only did they save their image (they didn't), but they also received a commendation from the Lord.
The girls around who knew the truth were moved by their master's kindness. Truly, Lord Kishi was worthy of their admiration.
Kishi had adjusted his mindset.
No matter what, these were girls who worked hard for him. For his ideals, they were even willing to abandon their image and become the most devoted berserkers.
This is loyalty.
This is loyalty.
It's truly wonderful.
"Ahem, Beta, Epsilon, thank you, but you are both beautiful girls. Don't let the enemy's blood stain your lovely faces, or I will feel sorry for you."
Kishi lifted the chins of both women with his left and right hands respectively, carefully wiping the blood off their faces with a handkerchief, and gazed at them with the gentlest eyes.
"Such gentle words."
"Uuuuuuuuuah, my lord!"
The two girls trembled all over, so happy that they almost fainted on the spot. They couldn't help but crawl forward, each holding Kishi's legs tightly.
The surrounding thieves were also collectively dumbfounded.
What the hell is this!
The two women who had just responded with absolute violence, knocked the people they killed off their feet, and shattered their dreams, dignity, and even lives.
Now they were kneeling on the ground without any image, hugging the legs of the boy who suddenly appeared, like two pets coquettishly showing off to their master!
This huge contrast made them want to curse.
Poof!
But before they could utter a curse, a girl threw out her sword and killed one of them. The other girls also cast threatening glances.
The message was clear.
If you dare to disturb and ruin the atmosphere, I'll kill you immediately!
"Alright, let me handle it next. I haven't had the chance recently. I made a lot of new magical weapons, but they've all been collecting dust."
Kishi patted the two girls' heads to let go.
