85 – Rising smoke

next day.

Siron came down to the first floor of the annex, drinking lemonade instead of coffee.

His steps going down the stairs are cautious.

However, his brisk walking was not done out of consideration to avoid waking up sleeping people.

From now on, he has to do some secret work.

Because it is always necessary to be cautious when using the game’s systems, Siron chose a time when everyone was asleep.

“where.”

Siron neatly placed the items he bid on yesterday on the table.

[Rosario of the Corrupt Priest]

[The pearl necklace of a mistress I don’t want to know]

These are relics of rare and unique grades, respectively.

The Corrupt Priest’s Rosario immediately increases sacred power by 5 when worn, and the Concubine’s Pearl Necklace increases fire resistance by 20.

However, unlike its effect of increasing resistance, its appearance is like an antique. Since it was an ornament, it should have a metallic luster in the softly shining moonlight, but since it was so old, it seemed far from shiny.

‘It certainly looked shiny as new in the game…’

“after…”

Siron sighed at the hardships ahead and rolled up his sleeves.

Siron began cleaning the relic with detergent on his toothbrush.

However, it is not necessary to keep it clean simply to wear it. This cumbersome process is all done to decompose and absorb the sacred relic.

Didn’t the ‘storage’ ability, which is currently being used so usefully, go through the same process?

In short, if you want to put something in your mouth and swallow it, you must have the minimum level of hygiene.

“…Okay.”

The sight of wrestling with hundreds of years of old dirt was truly pitiful.

However, this is also a process to assimilate the sacred relic into Siron’s body.

“Wow. “Why isn’t this cleaned like this?”

The oxidized film formed after contact with air for a long time was very difficult to remove with a toothbrush. Even though until yesterday, he escorted Siriel, a noble lady, with a luxurious appearance, to be honest, Siron’s efforts to survive were in dire straits.

and,

There was a woman watching the boy in distress.

“hmm…”

Seira watched from afar the boy removing dirt from an antique. It took a considerable amount of time just to walk from the main building to the outbuilding, but the magic she performed made the view of the outbuilding seem like it was right in front of our eyes.

Was that all?

The various eavesdropping prevention magics spread throughout the annex where Siron was staying were also useless in front of Seira, who prided herself on being the greatest wizard of all time. Seira, who easily bypassed the barrier as if eating cake, nodded a few times with her eyes as a spectator.

‘As expected, you like antiques.’

Seira felt a little bit interested in the boy.

A noble master who spends a lot of money collecting antiques. This was really fun to watch.

Normally, a boy of that age would like a sharp sword or a stylish uniform… Shiron didn’t even pay attention to the weapons displayed at the ‘Auction’.

Not to mention, the items being brushed from corner to corner by the hands of a 10-year-old boy were malicious stocks that did not sell enough to be called the bane of the ‘auction’.

No matter how magical equipment it is, who would use such an antique to escape the heat?

Whether it’s a warrior or a magician, once you reach a certain level, you won’t sweat even in the heat of summer, and you won’t get cold in the harsh winter. Besides, wizards can also regulate their body temperature by heating or cooling the air around them, which was quite funny.

If I could manage that much money, I would be able to quickly reach that level by training my mana.

‘What a weird hobby… hmm?’

At that moment, Seira’s eyelids, who had been observing Siron, fluttered.

“huh?”

‘What is that?’

The boy who was polishing the antique until it shined suddenly started destroying it.

‘……no. ‘If you were going to destroy it, why did you take so much effort to clean it?’

Seira’s doubts and curiosity arose.

In her mind, the young master who just had an eccentric hobby was suddenly elevated to a very special person.

“hmm…”

From noble mtl dot com

Seira let out a small exclamation.

Although she had seen people who were making a fuss about money many times… it was the first time in her life of over 700 years that a kid like that was making a fuss about money.

But, that wasn’t the end.

The boy even puts the crushed pieces in his mouth and swallows them.

“…Are you an asshole?”

Seira frowned as she spat out a vulgar curse.

There’s something about that boy… something very strange. Among dragons, there are some strange ones who enjoy the feel of gold and silver treasures in their mouths, but isn’t the boy just a human being with nothing special?

But you can’t scare Seira simply by putting something inedible in her mouth.

The problem was that the boy was behaving in complete contrast to what he showed yesterday.

An older brother taking care of his younger sibling.

A greedy look with bloodshot eyes trying to get what they want. It was not much different from the human appearance that Seira had seen over the past days.

“…This is not the time.”

Seira stopped looking at the observer and put a shell for entertainment on her body. His gray silver hair turned crimson and his pointed ears became round.

“…hmm. good.”

Seira looked at the mirror with unfocused black eyes. It was a flawless magic skill no matter what.

“…it’s okay.”

Chiron smiled proudly in the kitchen where the fire was burning. Even though I could feel the heat on my skin, Chiron was neither hot nor sweaty. The holy relics he consumed at dawn were completely assimilated into Shiron’s body.

Goodbye to the heat with this.

“…was it that much fun?”

Was it because he always had a smile on his face? Lucia spoke to Shiron first with a questionable face.

“what?”

“Pretend you don’t know… You went out to play with Siriel alone yesterday.”

Lucia said to Shiron in a blunt manner.

Yesterday, the memory of being made fun of by a demon maid came to mind, and I ended up reacting a little harshly. But this is by no means something about going out and having fun with everyone but yourself.

Siron, whether he knew it or not, shook his head and stared at Lucia.

“I wonder if I should say this. “Actually, it wasn’t fun at all.”

“…What are you talking about?”

Lucia narrowed her eyes and asked back.

Siron is a guy who will make up sounds that don’t exist to comfort her when she is left alone at home. However, unlike usual, Siron’s expression showed no sign of mischief at all.

“Because of the slaves, I have more work to do.”

Siron sighed and stuffed the food into his stomach. Starting today, I planned to spend most of my free time watching Elysee.

As time passed and until spring, Siron did not receive any income.

Although we put a lot of effort into monitoring Elise for quite a long time, she did not do anything special.

I just stick to my duties as a daytime employee.

Even now, Elise is sweeping the yard of the mansion like a trainee maid. According to the reviews of the people who stay with us, it is spotless and clean.

“Really… why are there such cases?”

Siron shrugged his shoulders with a disappointed look on his face.

“If there is a purpose, it will look suspicious. “Do nothing.”

“…”

“Encia. “What do you think?”

Siron opened his eyes and looked to the right.

“well. I can’t feel anything from this woman. He really feels like a human being. “Isn’t it just that you were mistaken?”

“I…”

“No, in which human being in the world does light flash in the eyes? “So you’re saying I saw something wrong?”

When Siron felt unfair, Ophelia, who was standing next to him, helped Encia.

“young master. As far as I can see, I don’t feel any energy from this woman named Elise. Should we say that it is a momentum that a strong person should naturally feel? “I can’t feel the demonic energy that a demon should feel at all.”

“So does Ophelia?”

“…excuse me. “What are you doing now?”

Elise looked at the three with a slightly troubled expression.

Poetry. And two maids followed him.

They were chewing on Elise right under her nose.

Even if they couldn’t hear behind her, they put on their hats and openly criticized her to her face. Even Sera, who was acting like an obedient slave, was a little embarrassed by this unconventional behavior.

“don’t mind. It’s not like I’m saying anything wrong.”

Shiron shrugged and smiled.

“Keep doing your thing.”

“Well, then could you please return the dustpan in your hand? I can’t clean…”

“Is it impossible to clean without a dustpan? I learned something new.”

Shiron clicked his tongue and handed the dustpan to Elise, saying he was sorry. Elise hesitated a little and politely received it with both hands.

However, the embarrassing situation showed no signs of ending.

Did you say Encia? The maid with her blonde hair covered her mouth with one hand and began to laugh.

“hehehe. What a cheeky slave.”

“…yes?”

What kind of nonsense is this? Elise opened her eyes wide and looked at Encia.

“…If you don’t mind, may I ask you to teach me? “We will correct it soon.”

Elise, who barely managed to keep her expression from collapsing, immediately smiled brightly and stared at the demon who was playing the role of an unsuitable maid.

“oh. Are you sure you don’t know? “You’re trying to teach your master about slavery, right?”

“Go on, teach. I have never done that…”

Feeling frustrated, Elise let out a little protest. However, Elise’s wishes had no effect on Encia.

Encia snorted and sneered at Elise.

“I don’t have anything. “You are forcing the common sense that you need a dustpan to clean.”

“…”

Elise was speechless.

It’s unreasonable.

There is no such thing as unreasonableness.

It’s absurd that demons get along well with human children, but the childish bullying they do is even more embarrassing.

Elise and Seira have lived for hundreds of years, but they don’t know how to accept this harassment.
