Aiming to be the perfect butler for my lady

What Kyle didn’t want but could be beneficial for him, happened.

Clara and Charlotte now know that it was Kyle who came to rescue both of them and that, they both are aiming for him.

Kyle has strictly warned them not to share a word about those incidents with Alatia, or he would disappear from their lives. Well, he had no other material to threaten them, so he used the old one. And looking at their vibrant reaction, it seems the threat worked.

Now, sitting across from the two women, he decided to tell them the situation, “Tomorrow, someone might try to kill me.”

The expression on Charlotte’s face immediately shifted as the previous innocence disappeared and a cold glint flashed in her eyes, making even Kyle shiver.

On the other hand, Clara’s smile didn’t falter. Rather, it only elevated, and her eyes turned crescent. All of a sudden, Kyle found another hairpin appearing in her hand out of thin air as she asked, “Who that person can be, I wonder. Is it another of those Professors?”

Kyle sighed, it was hard dealing with women other than Alatia. Leaning forward, he rested his elbows on his knees before asking them, “Have you come across a Devil before?”

The question was more directed at Charlotte since, for the past few months, she has been walking on an unknown route. Kyle doesn’t know what skills she possesses other than her primary one.

The canon Charlotte only had the skill of spell nullification…but this version seemed to have far more aces up her sleeve.

Charlotte looked hesitant to speak about it, urging Kyle to ask, “If you can’t say it, then-”

“No, I can tell you! I definitely would never keep any secrets from you….it’s just I don’t trust this old lady.”

Clara frowned and rebuked, “I am only twenty-one.”

Charlotte rolled her eyes and didn’t say anything about how a twenty-one-year-old was chasing after a sixteen-year-old. Rather, she chose to focus on Kyle and said,

“But it seems since Kyle trusts this woman, I should disclose what I know about the Devils.”

Kyle nodded in her direction thankfully before he intently listened to her words.

“Actually I came across someone who knew about Devils a lot more than I could ever expect from a human. She even taught me a few spells and told me the secrets of Devils. Like how they can tolerate being around Divine beings, and how to kill them….”

Kyle was….flabbergasted. Although his expression didn’t change even a bit, he was completely lost inside.

….Charlotte still met ‘her’?

The person from whom Kyle wanted her to stay away…and the reason why Kyle even interfered with her pre-canon arc in the first place. He didn’t want Charlotte to gain the skill to identify the Dark Magic user…but if she has really met ‘her’, then it means…

“Charlotte,” Hearing Kyle’s severe tone, Charlotte stopped talking and looked at him with her eyebrows raised.

Kyle then shook his head and said, “Nothing…just continue.”

If she really had recognised his possession over Dark Magic elements, yet she kept silent over the matter then he shouldn’t get too excited and ruin this temporary truce they have.

Was it gratitude and her affection which was stopping her from reporting to the Headmaster about Kyle’s reality? He couldn’t tell. However, along with the situation tomorrow, he had to ascertain what Charlotte had in mind.

Clara sensed the sudden spike in his emotions, which really baffled her, but it didn’t seem he would be saying anything about it, even if she asked. She would rather take her chances when they would be alone.

“So…yeah, to kill a Devil, we have two options. First, overwhelm them with Divine Energy, or make them swallow the blood of a Divine Awakened.”

Kyle already discarded the second option, given the Devils are quite sensitive towards the divine blood and they could sense it from far away. Even Stephen would have been corrupted through the ritual rather than the direct means of injecting cursed magic into him.

That was simply impossible.

Now, he had only one option.

“Charlotte, will you help me tomorrow?”

Hearing his question, she instantly straightened her back and replied, “Anything for you. Just tell me.”

Turning his attention towards Clara, Kyle asked, “I will need your assistance as well.”

“You don’t have to ask for that, Kylie~”

Ignoring that weird name she gave him, Kyle began to narrate what he had in mind.

Returning to the dorm around midnight, Kyle was assaulted by a very radiant glow coming from his lover.

Accumulation of divine energy was something anyone could achieve with the right concentration and practice. However, a single mistake can lead to tons of waste.

She can chant complex spells with the stored energy without depleting her magic. It was like having an extra pair of cells along with the pre-existing battery.

Kyle was about to step out of the room, just like he always does when she meditates. However…today, he didn’t feel like walking away. Rather, he sat down just across her mindlessly and stared at her in a daze.

There was something wrong with Kyle for sure…

********

Alatia didn’t know how long she was meditating but when she opened her eyes, her condition remained optimal. She can even accumulate energy for a week without rest and yet retain a perfect condition without fatigue.

Opening her eyes, she found a tray of tea and her favourite sweet cookies resting there. She didn’t think twice before taking one of them and munching the cookie, which only one person could cook this tasty.

“Having sweet things in the morning is not what many would prefer.” Kyle walked inside the room while wearing fresh attire, and it looked like he was just out of the bath.

Alatia suddenly felt thirsty…urging her to take a sip of the tea.

Kyle didn’t notice her gaze and asked her, “How do you feel? Do you need some time to get changed?”

Today, the class resumes, but considering Alatia was one of the victims, she can take it easy for today.

However, Alatia frowned at that and shook her head. Parting the cup from her lips she said, “Today, I don’t want to delay anything. Give me a few minutes.”

After having breakfast she took a quick bath and changed her clothes.

Around eight, they left the dorm and walked side by side.

Alatia was feeling anxious in her heart but she didn’t let it show on her face and told Kyle in a confident voice, “We will overcome this, Kyle.” Saying so she extended her hand in his direction.

Kyle gave her a soft smile before assuring her, “Yes, we will.”

He was about to rest his hand on hers when suddenly a loud explosion erupted from somewhere, startling the duo.

Alatia shared a glance with Kyle before they wordlessly decided to move towards the site.

A disaster has befallen upon the academy.
