Chapter 54 Remnants
Before leaving the mansion, I first knocked on the next room.
“Selena, are you ready?”
“Yes. I will leave now.”
A voice coming right away. Then came the sound of barely audible footsteps and the door opened.
“It will be a more comfortable trip than Tayburn. Don’t be vigilant though. We are going to the border.”
“Of course I do.”
I glanced at Selena’s outfit for a moment. It was better than when we first met, but nevertheless, there was a sense of exaggeration compared to other people’s casual clothes. The body is still exposed.
Selena, who looked at me, said as if she had nothing to do with me.
“sorry. This is the only neatest outfit. However, it is the perfect outfit for escort. It can hold a lot of tools and doesn’t get in the way of movement. It really is.”
Selena avoided my gaze as she spoke. His face turned a little red as if he was somehow embarrassed.
When we first met, they wore more dressy clothes and had a brazen face, but it was a real development.
“it’s okay.”
“… … Yes?”
“If you can be faithful to your mission, that is it. Unless you have futile intentions like before.”
“Yeah, yeah… … .”
Selena rolled her eyes while answering, as if she didn’t understand something.
Haha, since I had a different reaction to the death threat before, is that enough?
“I didn’t point out your clothes before. remember? I wasn’t talking about your clothes, I was pointing out that you were trying to change clothes in front of me without knowing where to go. That’s why I told you to go out ‘there’.”
“… … That’s right.”
I deliberately changed Mangot to ‘there’. This is because it is in a mansion, so there are ears to hear.
Of course, all the users of the Roach mansion do not interfere with the life of the owner. If you hear a story you shouldn’t hear, you haven’t heard it, and if you see something you shouldn’t see, you haven’t seen it. Those are the rules of the users, and within this prestigious family, they strictly follow the rules.
But just in case you don’t know, you’ll have to be a little careful.
“Why do you think?”
“… … Because I was uncomfortable with my appearance. Because I was trying to show myself in front of Frontier-sama needlessly, inappropriately.”
Selena answered with a somewhat gloomy face.
Indeed, I hadn’t thought deeply about it until now, but did Selena think of it that way?
“not.”
“yes?”
“The reason I scolded you is because your words and actions at that time were proof that you were disrespecting me in ‘there’.”
“… … !”
I’m not an asexual, and I can’t help but feel nothing when I see Selena’s dress and gestures that she made up her mind to seduce me.
However, it’s not that people just fell for a woman just because of it. But Mangot must have thought that Selena could do just that. I thought ‘Frondier de Roach’ was so glamorous.
If it was a Frontier who was exhausted both physically and mentally before I possessed it, I would have suffered, but I wasn’t.
“It’s not that I was offended by your body and clothes. You don’t have to cringe that much. Let go of the thought that it was not right or that it was useless.”
“yes… … .”
Selena nodded, hiding her face with her head bowed somehow. I judged that she had understood enough and turned around and walked away. In the future, I will give you enough thought about Yeranhes,
“… … ?”
But no matter how much he walked, there was no sign of following him. I turned to look at Selena, her face was redder than before, and her eyes were full of doubts.
What, did you not understand what I was saying? Was it that difficult?
“What do you do if you don’t follow me?”
“Well, that word.”
“… … ?”
“My attire at the time was, I mean, something… … .”
Selena stuttered very rarely, and was also hesitant. The corners of his eyes looking at me were trembling, and the moment he uttered the next word, his face turned red rather than red.
“Hyo, did it work?”
“… … .”
“No that! I’m not trying to do that again. Ha, but don’t you know enough? What was my intention then? So, that’s what I’m curious about… … .”
It seems that my expression turned cold without realizing it. Look at Selena’s diligent explanations like that.
“Follow me.”
“Ah yes… … .”
I saw Selena walking droopy and walked forward again.
Glancing behind me, Selena was walking with a sullen look. However, even in the midst of it, the clothes seemed awkward and he wanted to cover his body.
For some reason, Selena was shy even though she was dressed more neatly than before. Maybe something changed while going to Constell? It may have been that he was able to see his attire again as it melted into everyday life.
‘Hmm, this is difficult.’
There’s nothing good or bad about Selena’s sudden awareness of her clothes, but it’s difficult if she’s worried about it and can’t move properly. First of all, the image that others see is my escort. You have to do your escort job properly.
“Selena.”
“Yes, yes.”
“After this trip, let’s go buy some clothes.”
“yes… … yes?!”
“I will give you better clothes that are a little more comfortable than the clothes you are wearing now. There’s no such thing as too much exposure. Then you won’t have to worry about anything.”
“Oh, no. As an escort, I can’t… … .”
Selena replied like that, then said, “Oh,” and shut her mouth as if thinking of something.
Then he lowered his head and murmured in a crawling voice.
“… … All right… … .”
It was a voice that really made me want to talk to an ant. I am forgiven

When I left the mansion, the car was already waiting.
Ampere was talking to the driver about something. Seeing that I couldn’t hear it from this street, I thought it was a secret story.
Hearing Ampere’s words, the driver’s eyes trembled for a moment before looking at me. Without words, I was like, ‘Is that really true?’ It was like a face.
Did I tell you that I will accompany you to Yeranhes? If that’s the case, do I really need to talk about it?
I slowly approached them, skeptical and skeptical.
Ampere, who confirmed me, said.
“Tara.”
“Yes.”
Ampere’s words that still do not allow refusal or negligence. I nodded and sat in the back seat.
Of course, Selena was there too.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Of course, of course, but there was no conversation in the departing car.
Ampere is reticent from the start and has nothing to say to me, and Selena knows the place and atmosphere.
I didn’t know, but I was surprisingly not uncomfortable with the silence. No, maybe not me, but this body is familiar. For Frontier, silence with his father must have always been there.
but
“Frondie.”
To my surprise, Ampere spoke to me first.
“Yes.”
“I listened to the final exam rankings. Did you get ninth?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Surprisingly, it was about Constell.
Ampere was the first to tell Frontier about his school life!
It’s such a fatherly line, it’s rather creepy.
I was ranked 9th overall in the second semester. It was the result of adjusting both the writing and the actual performance. If you really did your best, you could have won 1st place again.
However, at the time of passing Ampere’s quest, there was no need to dwell too much on Constell’s ranking.
“Is that the result of winning with all your might?”
As if piercing through it, Ampere asked.
This question should not be pondered. As soon as I heard it, I said it right away.
“no.”
“right. It would have been very disappointing to say that it was the best.”
Ampere said.
“I couldn’t attend this exam, but I saw you fighting during the first semester final exam.”
“… … Yes that’s right.”
“Judging from the appearance of that time, ninth place is too low a ranking. If that had been the result I would have lamented my eyes and my memory.”
I don’t know if that’s a compliment or a scolding.
“sorry. In the next exam,
“Frondie.”
Ampere interrupted me.
Ampere, who was sitting in the front seat, did not show that expression. He just looked straight ahead and said to me.
“I can hide it a little better.”
“Yes?”
involuntarily asked. But there were no words to follow.
I thought as the car fell into silence again.
‘Just, what?’
Could you hide it a little better?
It was as if he wanted me to hide my power.
‘Do you know why?’

Naturally, I have never even brought up a story related to this to Ampere.There are multiple reasons why I don’t reveal all of my abilities in Constell, but the ones that Ampere will notice are:
‘… … god.’
When I first realized weaving, the trigger was activated and God, Thanatos, descended before my eyes.
Like Thanatos who tried to kill me as soon as we met, maybe even Ampere.
‘Did God even interfere with my father?’
Let the thought reach there,
“… … Frontier?”
Selena, who was next to me, looked at me.
I could feel my face hardening in an instant.
Ampere is not really my father. Malia isn’t really her mother.
So whether Ampere is interfered with by God has nothing to do with me. On the contrary, if it hinders me, it is also just an obstacle.
However, just as I felt the scent of my mother from Malia.
In the tone of Ampere’s worrying voice now speaking, I.
‘… … Who?’
Of course, all of this may be an overstatement. Ampere’s words may have simply meant nothing.
However, if true.
What god dared to visit Ampere?
That face is very curious.

Yeranhes was not as serious as Tayburne.
Most of Yeranhes was dealt with by the Knights of Roach, and the local residents were also energized as they had prevented all invasions of monsters so far.
The reason Ampere allowed me to come to Yeranjes was probably because he predicted that it would be safe within the wall.
I ‘analyzed’ the barrier visible from afar.
‘I’m fine.’
Of course, it is older and more cracked than the Tayburn after I ‘restored’ it, but Yeranhes’s wall was so strong that it didn’t need restoration.
Of course, the power of Ampere and the
“The Knights of Roach!! salute!”
The knights align themselves like swords according to the command.
It felt like a precision cog wheel to me.
The Roach Knights who reign as the unofficial strongest in the current continent.
For reference, there is an official Imperial Knights Templar, and the ‘Shroud Knights’ to which the Knight Sanders belonged is also quite famous. Some even foretell the shroud as number one.
But, in my view, knowing the truth, the shroud is now much over. When the knights who achieved glory by catching monsters from the periphery were moved to the center, most of them looked similar to shrouds.
The sudden arrival of peace and security is tinged with and forgetting the original strength.
However, with Ampere’s insistence on staying on the fringes, systematic training, and charisma, the Roach Knights still have the spirit and ability of the Demon Wars.
“I see you, Lord.”
The knight leader, ‘Sylvain Serdo’, bowed his head in front of Ampere.
Ampere nodded and pointed at me.
“Sylvain, my son.”
“… … You are younger than I remember. Your face is round.”
“It’s not Aji. The second is Frontier.”
At Ampere’s words, Silvain looked at me for a moment. He had a face as if he had a second child.
Sylvine is a character that the player meets at a fairly late stage for Aster Evans. Yeranhes is on the outskirts, and the fact that Aster has reached that point means that he is about to become a pro after graduating and try to broaden his boundaries.
At that time, Silvain was a man who had lost his left eye and one arm. But the enthusiasm in those eyes was still there.

Now his eyes and limbs are fine. It was nice to see Silvain like that.“Let it roll freely.”
“You mean the Lord’s son?”
“I came here because I wanted to.”
Ampere looked at me and said.
“How you roll is up to you. Whatever you teach, run errands, or do chores, you can do whatever you want. If it bothers you, I will send you home on the spot. See how much you can use it without doing any ‘tricks’.”
Ampere emphasized the word leftover. that’s what he said to me It’s telling you to try it barefoot, without the weird abilities you showed during the first semester final exams.
I laughed inwardly.
Also, Ampere knew what I wanted all too well.
