Chapter 163
After returning to the mansion, I searched for Miu first .
I listened carefully and caught her sound .
「This way huh」
I went towards the only place where movement sounds exist in the mansion .
It was the drawing room that I arrived to . There wasn’t Miu inside, but instead, Hikari and Helene were there .
Hikari is on top of Helene’s knee, and the two of them looks like they’re having a fun conversation .
「Ah! It’s Otou-san」
「Excuse me for disturbing, Kakeru-sama」
「You came huh」
「Yes . I just had something to do in Reiusu, so I came to visit」
「I see……is Miu not around?」
I asked Helene while sharpening my hearing .
There are no other sounds of movement inside the mansion .
「Miu-oneechan came out to go shopping〜」
「I see . I just wanted to ask whether Io came」
「If it’s Io-san, she said that she cannot come for a few days」
「n?」
“What do you mean?”, I asked Helene with a look .
「I have asked her to go to a certain place as a quest」
「Helene’s quest?」
「Yes . A person who is skilled and could be trusted was needed」
「I see . That’s why you came to Reiusu and asked Io huh」
Helene nodded silently .
「But, I see . Helene beat me to it huh . It’s a quest that would take days right?」
「Yes . Does Kakeru-sama wants to ask Io-san as well?」
「I just wanted to act as an adventurer and infiltrate some place . I thought that having the real thing with me would make me look like one」
「Shall I call Io-san back?」
「No, it’s fine」
Helene went out on her way to give her the quest .
A quest personally asked by Mercouri’s princess . If she was able to complete that, she should gain prestige as an adventurer .
Rather than calling her back, it’s better if she focuses on that .
「I’d be able to do something in my case」
「Are you going to infiltrate?」
「Yeah」
I thought for a second, then decided to tell Helene in detail .
I told her about the princess in Aegina doing something weird and how I thought that it was interesting .
「That’s why, I just thought I should help her on her ascendance」
「It is a very Kakeru-sama-way of thinking」
「Is that so?」
「Yes」
Helene nodded and gently smiled .
A beautiful, elegant smile that is almost unchanged from when I came to this world .
What a good woman . She’s a good woman from the start……and felt like a completed, good woman .
And I started to want such a good woman feel a little troubled .
「Wanna come with me?」
「Eh?」
「Let’s go and help the Aegina princess in her ascendance together」
Stunned, Helene looked as if her eyes would pop out .
I was planning to bring Io with me in the first place . Io’s not from Aegina, but she’s an adventurer .
There would be nothing strange at all if she got involved with something like this .
But Helene is different . She is Mercouri’s princess, and she’s one of the pillars in the military called “Teresia’s Twin Flowers” .
And it would originally be absurd for her to interfere with Aegina’s internal affairs .
As a proof of that, Helene had a face that tells she did not expect that at all .
That face had a charm on it, and Helene looked a couple more lovelier than her usual self .
Just seeing that expression, made me feel it was worth it messing with her .
And on top of that .
「Please let me accompany you」
Helene nodded with an excited and mischievous expression just like a child .
Seeing her innocent face for the first time, I thought that it was really worth it mentioning it to her .
