Chapter 65 – Silver, Twin-Tailed Hair, Tanned Skin, Large B*****s Despite the Petite Figure, and in a Maid Outfit
After crossing fields and mountains, we finally arrived at a small inn town.
“Beyond this inn town is the territory of the Margrave of Lohengrin, which means your territory.”
“But Yuzuriha-san… All my territory is occupied by the enemy, isn’t it?”
“Yes. So now, in effect, this inn town is the border.”
As we entered the inn town, a girl was standing in the middle of the street, looking at us.
The girl was expressionless, a frighteningly pretty girl, completely out of place in the middle of nowhere.
That girl had silver, twin-tailed hair, tanned skin, a petite figure with large b*****s, and she was even wearing a maid outfit.
Dare I say that she’s…
A jewelry box of suspiciousness!
“N-Nii-san? W-Who is that…?”
“Shh. Don’t look at her.”
Let sleeping gods lie.
While pretending to look for an inn, we casually veered off the path—
As if by magic, the maid girl spontaneously blocked our way.
EHHH!?
“Um… What is it—”
“…New master. I’m here to pick you up.”
“But your demeanor screams ‘legitimate assassin’!”
“…Must be your imagination.”
“It’s not my imagination! You moved with a ‘shun’ just now, didn’t you!?”
“Silently and stealthily, waiting by Master’s side without making a sound. That’s the ability of a competent maid.”
“Seriously!?”
But that being said, the maids I saw at the Duke’s residence were also quite versatile, so is it really true…?
“I definitely don’t think so, Nii-san.”
“Absolutely not. As a daughter of a duke, I assure you.”
“…Such things are trivial. It doesn’t matter.”
Well, let’s set aside what kind of maids can do that.
“Well, what the h**l are you?”
“Kanade is the only surviving maid in the service of the Margrave of Lohengrin. My name is Kanade. Pleased to meet you.”
“I see.”
“Kanade is 142 cm tall and Kanade’s weight is a secret. Her three sizes are, from the top—”
“You don’t have to say that!”
“But Kanade’s previous Master wanted to hear it so badly.”
Seeing Kanade’s bewildered expression, I looked at Yuzuriha-san, wondering what was going on.
For some reason, Yuzuriha-san looked at me with a faraway look in her eyes.
“Um, how to put it… The Margrave family of the Lohengrin is a family that is all very fond of petite girls with big t**s. I’m not sure what to tell you, but when I was a little girl, Toko and I were both gawked at as if we were being licked.”
“Whoa…”
“Even so, as far as the eccentricities of aristocrats go, that’s still on the milder side…”
“…What exactly is ‘not mild’ when it comes to eccentricities…?”
“You want to hear about it? Like the story of how a certain aristocrat talked to me passionately for an hour about necrophilia.”
“I respectfully decline.”
The depths of the nobility’s eccentricities are indeed unfathomable. It’s hard to fully comprehend.
“…So from now on, Kanade will serve her new master.”
“Yes, yes.”
And so, a highly eccentric maid girl with a strong personality joined our party.
＊＊＊＊
Setting aside Kanade’s excessive characteristics, it seems that she is truly competent indeed.
“Here. This is a summary of the current occupation status of the enemy forces.”
At the strategy meeting at the inn, Kanade produced a series of reports that were exactly the information we wanted.
“Nii-san! This is a detailed description of where the army is and how many people are there…!”
“The damage and food reserves in each city has also been researched!”
“Moreover, there’s even information about the commander’s name, appearance, and their fighting habits…!”
“Ahem.”
As Kanade was showered with praise, she appeared to have a seemingly expressionless face, but I could tell by the slightly puffed-up bridge of her nose that she was most likely wearing a smug expression.
“With all this information, it’ll be easier to make a plan.”
“Yes, of course.”
“Until now, we thought it was simply a matter of beating every enemy soldier we could find to death—”
“Isn’t that too reckless!?”
“Just kidding. It’s a simple and effective maneuver, but it would be devastating to the city if we did it. However…”
Yuzuriha-san put her hand on her chin and said,
“From these documents, there is little to no damage to the buildings, which is hard to believe in a war. Most likely the prince’s troops on our side fled before the fighting broke out.”
“I see.”
“After all, it would be best to attack the headquarters directly in each city. What do you think?”
“Right…”
“If the two of us charge in, it would be a piece of cake to annihilate the headquarters of each city. Of course, you alone would have no problem handling it, but… I-I have to protect your back! As your partner!”
Actually, Yuzuriha-san is more than enough on her own. Rather, it’s like I’m a hindrance.
Still…
“…How much damage do you think that operation would cause to the city?”
“The central areas of the towns seem to have suffered significant damage, right? Even if we only target the buildings where the commanders are located, I doubt the enemy’s mages will just stand idly by. It’s inevitable that the surrounding areas will be destroyed by stray projectiles from their attack magic.”
“That would cause damage to the residents, wouldn’t it?”
“Well, there will be some damage, but compared to being subjected to a siege, the casualties will be significantly lower.”
“Is it possible to focus on engaging enemy soldiers in open field combat instead?”
“…Well, it would be difficult. Your strength has become known in other countries through the Ogres’ Great Forest expedition, and frankly, I am well-known in my own right. Some of the commanders, who are unaware of the overwhelming difference in abilities, might be foolish enough to engage in open field battles. However, if they have even the minimum level of intelligence, they would opt for a siege strategy.”
“Hmm…”
I may not know how it aligns with the sensibilities of nobility, but…
I don’t want the people of the city to be killed in war, after all.
In addition, the buildings that are seized as headquarters are usually symbols of the city, and are often not something that can be rebuilt.
I wonder if there’s something we can do…
