The Outing’s Conclusion
Previously: We bought bananas from a grocer.
Honestly, a few people have been following us for a while now.
Are they Mai O’Doll’s acquaintances…? There’re two or three adult males who look a bit shady, like they feel like they’re about to rob soone.
Hmm.
Maybe they’re guards the lord sent out to guard her from behind the scenes.
As evidence of that, they haven’t made a move on us. A genuine thief would’ve already had a decent number of chances to cause a stir and swoop off with her.
But sure, this works.
Mai O’Doll still looked like she wanted to go sowhere, but it’s about ti for us to head back to the mansion.
“Mai-sama, let’s head back.”
“Eeeh I wanted the date to last a bit longer… can’t we?”
“No. You’re being escorted… Please, look that way secretly. See the n that look like a thieves?”
“Eh!? …. I-is there? Aren’t they from the Pavuera family?”
Oh, was that it? Nobles spying on each other?
… Von O’Doll making into her guard was probably also to show off and get information. Let’s hurry up and head back by devoting myself to my job as her guard. If I keep doing my work here indifferently, even they shouldn’t misunderstand.
“Which is why we’ll be ending our stroll here. Alright?”
“Aww… but Kehma-sama, if you just dealt with them…”
“My job here as your guard is to not expose you to dangerous matters… Do you want to be carried like a princess all the way back so that we could hurry?”
“Eh!? … L-like a princess? U-umm, do you an… that ‘like a princess’?”
I don’t know what she ant by ‘that‘, but it looks like she understood what the carry is.
Mai O’Doll thought about sothing for a while, twisting and curling the ringlets in her blue hair. She then turns back to and spoke with determination.
“Then, u-umm… please!”
“Sure, let’s head off then… Kuro, carry the Ojou-sama.”
“Okay.”
“Eh—”
It’s not like I ever said I would do it.
Mai O’Doll’s face filled with confused puzzlent, at suddenly picked her up and started carrying her.
Now for the assist functionality of the clothes golem to shine.
*
Upon reaching the mansion, at let Mai O’Doll down.
We made those thief-looking people eat our dust. The victory goes to the clothes golem’s boost… My hips hurt.
“Y-you’re fast. I wasn’t shook around at all. You’re much stronger than you look.”
“Ehen.”
at was as expressionless as ever, but she still puffed her chest out in pride. Right, maybe she just expresses herself with her body instead of her face?
“… But I wanted you to do it for , Kehma-sama. The princess carry.”
“Unfortunately, I’m weak. I leave the physical labor to Kuro.”
“Kehma-sama, please give a princess carry next ti.”
“If there’s another opportunity, I will.”
“I’ll be growing up fast from here on, though. It’s an easy chance for you to do it now!”
“What, I said I’m weak, but I can at least carry a woman. It’s alright even if I don’t do it now.”
“Uhuhuhu.”
“Hahaha.”
Mai O’Doll hid her mouth with her hand as she laughed. Even though she’s so small, this loli is an aristocrat.
“Well then, how about we go report to Von O’Doll-sama?”
“You can princess carry to Otou-sama’s room…”
“Outside of ergencies, I refrain from touching ladies in peaceful monts.”
“Muu, even though I wouldn’t mind…”
Mind it! Rather, I just want to go back ho.
I went to Von O’Doll’s office, at and Mai O’Doll in tow.
Knocking on the door, I went in after getting permission. Von O’Doll was working on paperwork at his desk. Placing his fountain pen back in its holder, he smiled at us.
“Welco back. That went fairly quickly, I thought you would have played for a bit longer?”
“Yeah, we had finish early due to a few suspicious fellows. Also, is it alright if I complete the guard escort commission with this?”
“Sure. What sort of fellows were they?”
I briefly explained the characteristics of the n I saw. Von O’Doll nodded, his expression unchanging for the most part. I guess it was the Von O’Doll sent them as guards route after all? It was a great excuse.
“… So, what about you? Have you decided to beco Mai’s fiance?”
He said it like becoming her fiance was a done deal.
But I refuse.
“On that, I shall refuse.”
Right next to , Mai O’Doll seed to deflate when I said that.
“Hmm… might I ask for your reason? You two only t yesterday, but I assu you would have learned at least a little about her in that ti?”
“First off, nothing’s changed in the past half day. Secondly, honestly, I prefer my won bigger.”
“Hmm… that so?”
Ah, he hasn’t given up. He looks like he’s thinking about what hand to play next right now.
But you’ve activated my trap card! I’ll stop that train of thought in its tracks!
“Could I say sothing, Von O’Doll-sama? On this matter, I do have an idea.”
“Hmm? What?”
“Before that—”
I took a glance at Mai O’Doll. Von O’Doll seed to have guessed my intention.
“Mai, please head back to your room.”
“… A Kehma-sama, I, I won’t give up!”
Listening to Von O’Doll, Mai O’Doll exited the room after a little hesitation.
“Mai seems to like you quite a bit. Did sothing happen?”
“I didn’t intend to do anything that would cause it.”
“Well, I’ll have Mai tell about it later. So, what was your suggestion?”
I smiled from ear to ear.
Eat it—my revenge!
“It’s just a proposal… but to be frank, she doesn’t exactly need to be engaged to a man, right?”
“…!? W-what do you an?”
“Exactly what I said. I recomnd that Kuro here be used for Mai-sama’s feigned engagent.”
Very straightforwardly, I presented at to him.
“I have several reasons… but mainly, she’s my party mber, so she has the sa achievents as as an adventurer. Moreover, I can guarantee that she has a proven track record in the administration of Golen Village. All of my achievents are thanks to Kuro.”
And I guarantee that all of my achievents are actually entirely because of at! I will continue to insist this, I will not accept any objections!
at looked my way. She was surprised. Von O’Doll was surprised, too.
“So, is there any other prestige she’d need?”
“… Well, let’s say that her being a woman is alright. She’s even close to Mai in age… But isn’t she a slave? She has a collar on.”
“Kuro just likes wearing it. I am more or less supposed to be her master, but Kuro only wears that because she has a master fetish and can’t settle down without wearing it. Von O’Doll-sama, you had a son, correct? In other words, even if I married Mai-sama, it isn’t like I would beco the lord… it’s not like it matters either way, though. At any rate, it’s just a feigned engagent, so it isn’t as though the marriage would actually happen.”
I prattled on and on with a sound argunt, causing Von O’Doll to flinch sowhat.
“Y-yeah…? Could I consider it?”
“Then for your consideration, I shall add this.”
Ti for the final blow. I took out at’s Adventurer Guild Card and showed it to him.
It was what we got from Haku-san… Ventulier, was it? I’m sure it had a noble rank like that. In other words, her B-Rank Guild Card was also proof of her nobility.
