A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 101

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Selesina’s mansion in Selin Village was unusually busy.

The reason for this was that she was staying there overnight for the first time. Normally, she went back to her house in the town of Halmil to sleep, but now she had a guest staying at the house.

She couldn’t just leave them there, so Selesina and Hisui had to stay overnight as well.

Hel, who had to stay because of his illness, was accompanied by a caretaker. There is an extra room for a servant, so the caretaker can use it.

“The problem is …… food, right?”

“Yes, that’s right ……”

“I’m afraid I can’t serve you what I make. ……”

Selesina, Hisui, and Odette were in the living room, wracking their brains. It’s a good idea to have someone who can cook and get the ingredients right away, otherwise we won’t be able to serve anything for dinner.

(We’ll have to go to the town of Halmil and get a cook from the mansion. ……)

“Hisui, can you please go to Halmill’s mansion now and get me a cook?　I and Odette will stay at the house and look after Master Hel.”

“…… I got it. Since Lady Sele can’t leave, I’ll have to go myself.”

Hisui agreed immediately, so Selesina wrote a letter explaining the situation. Give this to him, and he will take care of it right away.

” Please take care of it, Hisui.”

“Yes. Leave it to me!”

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Hisui had left for the town of Halmill. For now, it looks like today’s situation is going to be okay.

When it was time for dinner, the caretaker came to tell us that Hel had woken up.

“Would you mind if I visited Mr. Hel’s room to say thank you?”

“Of course not. I’m sure you’re still in a lot of pain, so I will prepare dinner for you in your room.”

“Thank you for your kindness.”

When Selesina went to the guest room where Hel was staying, Toi followed her. His white, fluffy tail was wagging, and he was very cute.

“Wah-huh.”

“‘I see Toi is worried about his customers too.”

Even though he is not feeling well, Hel is still the last boss. I was a little relieved to know that Toi would be with me.

When I entered the room with the caretaker, Hel was sitting on the edge of the bed.

“How are you feeling, Master Hel?”

“…… I’m fine now. A carriage is not the way to go. ……”

He said he was fine, but his voice sounded weak. Maybe the carriage was not a good match for him.

Waiting until Hel and the caretaker had settled down, Selesina gave a lady’s bow.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Hel. I am Selesina Rinklat. 

“…………”

When Selesina greeted him, Hel looked at her with a blank look on his face. Perhaps he would say that they had met before in the basement.

(Please don’t do that!)

The caretaker immediately followed up with me.

“We’re resting at Lady Selesina’s mansion in Selin Village.”

“….. I see.”

The one who still looks somewhat sick is Hel, the last boss.

He is wearing a long-sleeved robe that barely exposes any skin. On his head, he wears the hood of his robe, which is covered with embroidery and ornaments of giant trees.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

His eyes, visible through the gaps in his robe, were black, and there was a blessing mark on his neck that I could catch a glimpse of, and a bit of his long black hair was sticking out.

At the moment, he was still looking sleepy, probably due to his health condition.

Hel stared at Selesina and slowly stood up.

He was probably about eighteen centimeters tall. His skin was almost translucent white, probably because he had been underground.

“Thank you for taking care of me. And congratulations on your engagement to my brother…….”

“I am relieved to hear that you are feeling better. Thank you also for your congratulations on the engagement with your brother.”

I was relieved to hear Hel’s simple words.

(But he doesn’t seem to be in good shape yet.)

It would be better to take the dinner to the room and leave the rest to the caretaker.

“I’ll bring your dinner to your room. Do you have an appetite?”

“…… Yes, in small quantities.”

“Well, I’ll have it ready for you in a moment.”

As Selesina was thinking of asking Hisui, who was helping with the cooking, to serve him, the caretaker of Lucaria put the hand on the doorknob, “I will”.

Even though it was a caretaker, I can’t make a guest do that. At the very least, I want Hisui to carry it to the room.

As Selesina panicked at the thought, Hel called out, “Lady Selesina”.

“You don’t have to worry so much about it. I wasn’t planning to visit you, but I’m afraid I’m the one who had to be taken care of suddenly. ……”

Plus, Hel said, they’ve been in a carriage for a long time, so they want to move around.

As we were talking about this, the caretaker went to the kitchen.

(I don’t have a choice. I’ll just indulge you here.)

“Anyway, I’m still sleepy…… Huh……”

“…… Master Hel?”

With a big sigh, Helle fell back on the bed. There was no trace of the polite attitude he had shown earlier.

“I don’t like formalities, you know. But when I’m in front of those guys, I’m told to be proper. Are you wearing a hood?”

“…………”

When Selesina saw that Hel had started to relax without hesitation, she thought that this was indeed the Hel she had exchanged words within the basement of the Great Temple.

(We were having an honest conversation at the time. ……)

Selesina shrugged, saying that there was no point in trying to mend things now.

Well, I’m the daughter of the Marquis Family. I have to be ladylike!”

“Hmmm ……”

When Selesina told him this, Hel was not interested and lounged on the bed. It was as if he had been living underground with naps every day.

Then, Toi jumped on top of Hel with a “woof”.

“Geez!”

“Toi!? What are you doing?”

“Wau Wau!”

I was afraid he might have crushed him, but he wagged his tail happily. It seems that he wants to play with him.

“It’s a big dog. And it’s fluffy…….!”

Hel is hugging and enjoying the fluffiness of Toi, as if to say that this touch is divine and dangerous.

The fact that Toi loves it suggests that Hel has the blessings of the gods.

“Huh!…… would be great to sleep like this……”

“Don’t go to sleep, your food will be here soon!!”

“But right now I just want to sleep in this fluffy …… bed.”

Hel hugged Toi and closed his eyes. Selesina sighs, thinking that this is a guy who is trying to sleep hard.

So, what should we do?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
