令嬢はまったりをご所望 (HIATUS)

V3 Chapter 5.3

"......Grey-sama, Orphias-sama. Thank you very much for coming over. However, why was Orphias-sama here?" (she's wondering why Orphias suddenly appeared tgt with grey)

I made a deep bow and asked.

"Ah.... That-!"

As soon as Grey-sama turned backward to respond to me, he was lost for words.

"Whatever may be the problem?" (Rhonya)

"Beautiful..." and so Orphias-sama blurted.

He walked towards me and stood still in front of me, gently took my right hand and kissed the palm of my hand.

"Just as the image of a blue rose... Superbly beautiful. Just being able to take a glimpse of your appearance tonight is a blessing for me"

Orphias-sama's smiled and his eyes sparkled with passion.

I guess he's praising me about the traditional Genie outfit. But I felt that it was a little too exaggerated.

Suppressing my flushed cheeks, 'Thank you very much, Orphias-sama' I said my gratitude.

"May I inquire how Orphias-sama had come over as well?"

Orphias-sama looked towards Grey-sama. Even after repeating my question once again, Grey-sama was still rock stiff.

"Get the heck away from her!! You!!" Ryuse-san's angry shout reverberated. And together with a plunge of his claws towards Orphias-sama which he dodged.

It seems the prisoners were all under control, and Ryuse-san rushed here. I could see the Genie soldiers dragging away the unconscious prisoners.

"Why you say... Have you not heard any news from the DemiMercSquad? ...... I have been attempting to seal that demon and requested of the Mage, Greytia's strength to do so... However I let him run away. Forgive me, Rhonya"

The still stiff Grey-sama made a light bow while Orphias-sama lowered his head.

I shook my head to the sides in a fluster.

"No, please, do not apologize. Both of you had did the best that you could have. Thank you very much for your effort. To think that I have caused you trouble of attempting to seal the demon when you should have been busy enough..."

Grey-sama is the best mage of the kingdom. A person indispensable at the castle. Whereas Orphias-sama is responsible for guarding the Galatia Kingdom. Both of them wouldn't be free to loiter around chasing after a demon.

"Leave the gratitude for after we successfully sealed the demon."

"Please wait for a moment, Orphias-sama. If perhaps you were chasing after Belzetta for my sake, I would like you to cut short your chase."

"Why?"

"I am sure both Orphias-sama and Grery-sama is very busy. I do not wish to trouble you both to use up your time to chase after Belzetta."

"......"

Orphias-sama and Grey-sama looked towards each other.

The stiffened Grey-sama finally spoke out.

"However, it wouldn't be wise to leave the demon targeting you loitering at who knows where"

"If perhaps Belzetta does appear before me again, I would call upon you with this gem. Just coming over for me when the time comes would be enough"

I moved towards Grey-sama and showed the gem on top of the palm of my hands.

"......Rhonya"

"I do hope Grey-sama I wouldn't bother you when the time comes"
