I, a Holy-Attributed Healer, Am Surrounded by Beautiful, Big-Breasted Women of the Female Knight Brigade - Chapter 59 - Freyna-Sama’s Request and the Clown’s Reappearance

Chapter 59 – Freyna-Sama’s Request and the Clown’s Reappearance

When I returned to the mansion, Freyna-sama came into my room.

I was going to get myself ready and have Ruri do my hair so that I could join the party.

“May I have a moment?”

“Yes.”

As I tried to stand up, Freyna-sama stopped me with her hand.

“You can stay as you are. I just have a simple request.”

“A simple request?”

In the mirror, I could see Lady Freina wearing a tight outfit with a slit at the bottom, making it easier for her to move around as a guard, instead of the beautiful dress she wore yesterday.

“Again, I’m sorry to bother you before the party.”

“No, is it alright for you, Freyna-sama?”

“I don’t need to dress up. I’m just accompanying Lana-sama. She’s getting dressed up right now.”

“That’s a shame. You looked very beautiful yesterday.”

“Please don’t tease me.”

Today, Freyna-sama will be standing next to Lana-sama, the host, in a dignified outfit.

Ruri and Ao were still wearing their maid uniforms, but I had them change into dresses in case they’d get mistaken for maids of the mansion.

It seems that Honey-sama had given them dresses just in case. I’ll have to thank her the next time I see her.

“So, what would you like to ask?”

“Oh, I mentioned before that Lana-sama is not good with men.”

“Yes.”

“However, she seems to be less uncomfortable around you, Salt-dono. Yesterday, calling you to play the role of a man was to help her not get nervous for today’s main event.”

I had noticed Lana-sama glancing at me, so I thought there was something going on, but it seems she was wary of me because I am a man.

“I see.”

“That’s why could Salt-dono please try to be somewhere where Lana-sama can see him as much as possible today?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“When Lana-sama is stared at by a lot of men, she gets extremely nervous and can’t speak.”

“If that’s the case, then wouldn’t it be even harder for her to speak with me doing the same?”

Isn’t it bad if the number of men increases?

“No, that’s fine. Lana-sama herself said that she feels at ease when she sees Salt-dono. So please, try to be somewhere where Lana-sama can see you as much as possible.”

“…I understand. (I’m not sure if I can use magic at the party, but I usually cast relaxation spells to help with anxiety.)”

“Is there something wrong?”

“No, it’s just… if I need to use magic at the party, would that be acceptable?”

“It’s not magic that hurts people, right?”

“No. Rather, it’s magic that heals people.”

“……”

Freyna-sama looked at me intently.

Her eyes were crystal clear, as if they could see through everything, and I looked straight back at them.

“Hmm. I believe in you. Normally, using magic at a party venue would be rude, but I believe in everything Salt-dono has done so far.”

“Thank you.”

“No, it’s me who should be thanking you for agreeing to my request.”

We shook hands and headed to the party venue.

Ruri and Ao were on both my sides, and since they had eaten a lot at the food stalls earlier today, we only had drinks until Lana-sama arrived.

“Master, are you approaching today as a job?”

“Yes. Today, I’ll be working as a helper for the Fourth Knight Brigade, not as a guest. Ruri, Ao, keep that in mind.”

“Understood.”

“Okay!”

Ruri and Ao followed my instructions.

They would report any suspicious individuals or strange behavior immediately.

Then, Lana-sama came over and stood on the platform.

She looked pale with nervousness. It must be the nervousness that Freyna-sama had mentioned.

I used a small amount of Holy magic to relax her.

At that moment, Lana-sama looked at me and smiled.

Her smile looked so beautiful that I couldn’t help but stare at her, but this is work.

I looked into Lana-sama’s eyes and smiled to reassure her.

It seems the relaxation spell worked well, as Lana-sama began to speak.

In the middle of her speech, my eyes were fixated on Lana-sama, but suddenly, Ruri pulled on my sleeve.

“Master.”

“What’s wrong?”

“The Clown is here.”

“Huh?!”

I followed Ruri’s gaze, but neither Cynthia nor the Clown were present.

“What do you mean?”

“It’s the scent.”

“Scent?”

“Yes. Our senses of smell and hearing are superior to those of ordinary humans. There are many things in this place that give off strong smells, such as perfume and alcohol, but there’s no way I could forget the scent of that Clown.”

“Got it. I’ll try to trace it after Lana-sama finishes her speech.”

“I’ll leave Ao here and go first.”

“Yeah.”

Ruri let go of my arm and blended into the crowd at the party.

Last time, Ruri’s strength had been weakened by her confusion of the past, but now she possesses strength surpassing even Krish-san when fighting calmly.

“It’s finished.”

After Lana-sama finished her speech, she went to greet the nobles.

I wanted to chase after Ruri, but I saw a beastman tried to forcefully touch Lana-sama, so I used healing magic to put him to sleep.

“Sweet dreams.”

After making sure the beastman was asleep, I told Freyna-sama that I would be leaving the venue and left the party.

With Ao following Ruri’s scent, we arrived at the courtyard, where Ruri and Cynthia, dressed like a Clown, were confronting each other.

“I will never forgive you.”

“Heh~ I don’t think you have any reason to hate me.”

“What are you saying?”

“I led you to Salt-niisan, didn’t I? Aren’t you happy now?”

“Huh?!”

“Oh my, it looks like Salt-niisan has come. Good evening, Salt-niisan.”

Cynthia doesn’t seem to want to hide it anymore. She knows calling me Salt-niisan is unsettling Ruri’s spirit.

“Cynthia, why are you doing this?”

“Well, you see, the world is less beautiful than you think, Salt-niisan.”

“What do you mean?”

“Fufu, Salt-niisan. Did you know the King’s Tomb is about to be resurrected?”

“The King’s Tomb? What’s that?”

“Who knows~ But I’m sure it’ll be even worse than the zombie panic that happened in the Capital.”

With that, the Clown’s body floated up.

Ruri tried to chase after her, but she disappeared in an instant.

“Master, could you explain what is going on?”

Ruri, who had been listening to my conversation with Cynthia, looked at me with a confused look on her face.

I stared at the empty sky where Cynthia had vanished, trying to piece together her true intentions.
