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

ted to help me with the people who came rushing in.
So I went with the flow and asked her to do the accounting work.
Then she nodded with a twinkle in her eye and here we were.
If she stayed next to me, I could protect her if someone were to harm her.

 

However, she was the eldest daughter of the duchess, so she was not suited for this kind of dirty stall work.
But she was doing her best, though awkwardly.
But, the expression on her face when she received the payment from the men was very bone-chilling.

 

After repeatedly making takoyaki, selling them, and making them again, we ran out of ingredients sooner than I had expected and we were sold out.

 

The response was tremendous again today.
I never thought we would sell out so quickly…

 

As I sighed in the aftermath, Alice showed me a box full of coins.

 

“Here’s 56,000 meso.”

 

“Thank you.
Thanks for your help.”

 

“…”

 

I said a few words of thanks, but Alice’s expression was dark, which made me curious, so I asked,

 

“Is something wrong?”

 

“… I gave you trouble… I didn’t mean to glare at the customer and it seems I didn’t do well… I wasn’t much use to you, I shouldn’t have come… I’m sorry for thinking only of myself…”

 

Biting her lips, she lowered her head.

 

Despite her noble status as the heir to the Duke’s title, she came here dressed as a commoner to meet me.

 

I would have preferred that they just forgot about me and live happily ever after… I have been thinking about it, but today, Alice’s behavior made me realize something.

 

It would be arrogant of me not to accept their goodwill.

To pretend to be ignorant of the fact that they were thinking of me would probably lead to hurting them.

 

Thinking of this, I took out the 5,000 meso from the box she gave me and handed it to Alice.

 

“Huh?”

 

“Take it.
It’s for the part-time job.”

 

“I don’t deserve…”

 

“Alice, you did a good job.
Thanks to you, I was able to concentrate on making takoyaki.”

 

“……”

 

Alice was hesitant, but I put 5,000 mesos on her hand.
Her hands felt so soft.
I didn’t understand why my fingers were so different from Alice’s, even though they were the same.

 

But I must not enjoy this soft feeling.
I had to tell her how I felt.

 

I took my hand away from hers, looked into her deep blue eyes, and said,

 

“Thank you so much for coming.
I’m so happy that a duchess came to see me dressed like this.”

 

“Haruto-sama…”

 

“I’m fine with just Haruto.
It’s a little embarrassing to be called -sama like that.”.

 

“… Then Haruto.”

 

“Yeah…”

 

She wiped tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at me with a cheerful expression.

 

“I would like to invite you to my house.
I will prepare a party that will live up to the Medici family name.
A party just for you, Haruto.”

 

“I-it’s fine.
You don’t have to go that far.”

 

“No… I want to make Haruto happy.”

 

“……”

 

Her deep blue eyes that seemed to suck you in, had a mysterious power that could drown you if you were not careful.

 

Looking into those eyes I found something dark, something uncertain, calling me in.

 

“Then, I’ll take your word for it… thanks for inviting me.”

 

“Un!”

 

The intense gaze that she had shown earlier had gone silent, and now she was completely a normal girl.

I was really glad.
It wasn’t the look of despair that she showed at that time…

 

As I was relieved, Alice mumbled, wriggling her body.

 

“Well, you know… we should set a date while we still can…”

 

At that moment…

 

The siren went off.

 

[Emergency! Emergency! A large number of undead monsters have appeared.
Commoners who cannot use magic, please move to the evacuation center ASAP! Adventurers, please come to the guild hall to receive emergency quests! I repeat! This is an Emergency…]

 

“What’s going on?”

 

“Undead Monsters! It’s impossible for undead to appear in this country! How’s this…”

 

Undead monsters were dead monsters that for some reason came back to life.

 

“Alice, how strong is an undead?”

 

“They’re strong.
But it depends on the type, you have to be class 3 or higher to be able to fight properly.
And if they are in large numbers…”

 

“Okay, I’m off.”

 

“Where?”

 

“To hunt monsters.”

 

“… I’m coming too.”

 

“Alice…”

 

“I’m a class 5 wizard.
This time, I’ll be useful to Haruto!”

 

I couldn’t say anything to her, when she exuded an aura as if she were a melting pot of blue flames.

 

Alice had lived in this world all her life.
That meant she must know a lot of information.
Besides, she was a class 5 magician too.

 

I should trust Alice.

 

“Yeah.
Assist me then.”

 

With that, I left the food stall alone and walked briskly.

 

“Yes, I’ll assist you forever, Haruto.”

 

I thought I heard something behind me and turned around to see Alice following me.
