131 – Scene 131# cat
*
‘yes?’
The office door was open.
It was the door that I locked with the locking technique every time I left work.
Unless you’re a big guy who’s been around for quite some time, you wouldn’t think of breaking through the door of my office… .
Of course, without thinking, the culprit must be Blanche.
There’s no one else who can unlock it so neatly.
First of all, I pretended not to know and entered the office.
The first thing that caught my eye was the high ceiling. The history of Meikahel University was painted on the ceiling, and even looking at it, one could tell that this was a high-ranking person’s room.
The marble floor was dustless and glistened in the sunlight.
This is what I see every morning.
In other words, I didn’t see anything particularly odd.
I looked for it with my eyes wide open as if searching for the wrong picture, but nothing changed.
In a way, it is natural.
Because of Blanche’s meticulous personality, she probably wouldn’t have left any obvious traces.
What I’m curious about is what she was trying to hide. And that’s something I shouldn’t have found out.
“… … Hmm.”
First, I decided to start my routine as usual.
Maintaining composure is one of the most important virtues for the possessed person.
I don’t know what Blanche is trying to hide, but I just have to do my job well.
I hung up my coat and immediately took off my jacket.
jump.
“Count… ! I’ll explain everything… Ugh?!”
Blanche, who opened the door and jumped in, hurriedly turned her head.
“Sir, excuse me! no… . But why are you taking off your clothes?”
“I am getting ready to exercise.”
Before starting work, I always exercised in my office.
One of those routines that you shouldn’t miss even a day.
It was also my promise that I would never go back to the original Tristan again.
Blanche’s reaction was that she didn’t know what to do in front of my bare torso.
“It doesn’t matter if you look at it.”
“… I won’t see you.”
“So you’re going to talk without looking at me? That’s downright rude.”
“Kuh… .”
In the end, Blanche looked at me with a patient expression.
Her eyes flickered as if she didn’t know where to look.
“Oh really… !”
Helga, who followed, appeared in the office.
“What foot is so fast?”
“You are slow. Who told you to wear those shoes in the first place?”
“This is my uniform! It’s a full set, even the shoes!”
Helga, disapprovingly, touched the exposed ankle above the high heels.
“Woo… . Do you know how hard it is to run in high heels? You knew that I was chasing you and then I ran out. If you get hurt, will you take responsibility?”
“Is that so? When I was with you, I thought my shoulders would break… .”
“It’s because it’s a cartilage. Anyway, yes.”
“… If it were a normal person, my shoulder blade would have been shattered.”
“under? You’re not an ordinary person. you.”
“Isn’t that the same for you?”
“that’s right. Not an ordinary person, but an ordinary beauty.”
Two people fighting each other.
Even while accepting Helga’s grunting words, Blanche was looking around anxiously.
I watched it silently, and I opened my mouth.
“Blanche. So what are you going to explain?”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t you just do that? I will explain everything to you.”
“ah… . that is… … .”
I wondered what excuses she would come up with.
It would be accurate to say that I was interested.
There has never been a scene where she, who always exudes a cool image, desperately makes excuses throughout the original work.
Waiting for an answer, I put my hands on the chair and stood on my hands.
I started exercising by bending and extending my arms repeatedly.
And finally, Blanche’s voice was heard.
“…it’s a cat.”
“cat?”
When I raised my head, Blanche quickly averted my gaze and continued talking.
“Yes. Actually, I was outside, but the cat… I saw the cat enter the office through the window. So, in order to catch the cat, I inevitably opened the door to the office and came in. I am really sorry for not telling you in advance.”
“… indeed.”
That’s a pretty plausible excuse.
“But it’s very neat for a cat to come in.”
“… … okay.”
“Where is that cat now?”
“… It probably ran away.”
“Well.”
I stretched out my bent arm and stood up with the recoil.
“Got it. But from now on, don’t go in and out without my permission.”
“Yes… . Sorry again.”
Blanche bowed her head deeply.
“Then go out. I will finish exercising from now on.”
“… Yes.”
Blanche, who was about to leave, looked around uncharacteristically restless.
“Why?”
“that is… .”
I asked her hesitantly.
“Are you worried about that cat and your feet won’t come off?”
“… … Yes.”
“I am very surprised.”
“Yes?”
I told her with a arrogant smile.
“I saw it again. Blanche. I didn’t know you had ‘that side’.”
“?!”
I don’t know how he took my words, but Blanche’s face turned bright red.
“Hey, don’t insult me! I’m not cute! In the first place, I am not happy to hear such words from the Count!”
“insult? You seem to be misunderstanding something.”
“… … Yes?”
“When I say ‘that side’, I mean feeling compassion. More than anything… .”
I sat down on a chair.
Then he said while stroking his chin.
“I never called you cute.”
“Ugh?!?!”
Blanche, realizing what she had just said, bowed her head.
But before I lowered my head, I saw her face clearly.
A face that looked like it was about to burst into tears, like a child whose mistakes were exposed.
Unable to see Blanche like that, Helga opened her mouth.
“Be patient… . Why don’t you just be honest instead of being frustrated?”
“Yes?”
“Say you want to see more of our count’s naked body.”
“… what?!”
Blanche was stunned.
“What nonsense are you talking about?! Do you know that I want to see something like that?”
“a. I know everything. Our count is generous, so he’ll grant you permission if you ask.”
Helga let out a smirk.
“Ah, you can look at it, but of course you can’t touch it. It is my privilege as a henchman to be able to wipe the Count’s sweat. hehehe… . Or if you, like me, become the Count’s escort knight, you might be able to lick off sweat from the floor.”
“Count!? Are you really asking me to do such perverted things?!”
“no. don’t do it.”
I also found out for the first time now.
It’s creepy to hear that Helga drank even the sweat that fell on the floor.
I just cut it off and pressed my fingers between my brows.
Listening to these guys talk would give me a headache, so I had no choice but to make a decision.
“Two people. It gets in the way.”
“Yes?”
“Yes?”
“Get out now.”
When I informed her with a cold gaze, Helga appealed with an expression as if the sky had collapsed.
“That, like that… ! If I’m not there, who will drink the sweat the Count shed today!”
“My sweat is not a drink. And I never asked you to drink. scram.”
“I have the right to watch the Count’s campaign end! No, fate to watch! I’m not backing down!”
yes. I thought you would come out like that.
“Blanche.”
“Oh, yes?”
“Take care of Helga.”
I raised three fingers.
It meant repaying 3 million kaels.
Blanche, who quickly realized the meaning, nodded with a slightly brighter expression.
At the same time, I put my hand on Helga’s waist and put my grip on it.
“?!”
“It’s my turn this time.”
“Let go, let go!”
“Come with me. Cutie.”
“Kuh… ! let go of this! I will report you for sexual harassment!”
“Do whatever you want. Cutie.”
“Wait and see! I will definitely eat it someday… !”
That’s how Helga left lines like a third-class villain and was kicked out.
As the two left, the office fell silent.
Now I can fully use my time.
However, there were still unresolved ‘problems’ in this room.
“It’s strange… .”
I pulled the chair back.
Then he looked under the desk and said.
“I don’t know how the cat got here.”
“Ahahahaha… .”
The woman hiding under the desk, hugging her knees, let out an awkward laugh.
Beautiful eyes resembling a winter lake were looking up at me.
“Are you lost at all?”
“Not that… .”
“Do cats talk?”
“eww… .”
Bella responded by waving the back of her hand in the air like a cat.
“Nya, meow… .”
