Episode.73 She doesn’t look like a maid

“It looks like it will arrive sooner than expected.”

said Triche, who was sitting next to him and driving the carriage.

Triche’s hair was fluttering around at a fast pace, unable to overcome the feeling of speed.

As the wind continued to pass by my face, I also felt that this carriage was moving at a fairly fast speed.

I relayed Triche’s words to Chaewon with joy.

‘Oh, did you hear? ‘I don’t think it’s worth camping out again?’

【Luckily, I don’t have to camp on that hard floor again?】

“Hey, did you hear that too?”

I looked behind me and spoke in a loud voice so that Illya, who was riding in the carriage, could hear.

“I heard everything!”

Ilya seemed to be in a very bad mood from the moment the carriage departed.

Because although I am riding the carriage with Illya, we are not together.

That’s because he sits next to Trice and drives the carriage together.

Of course, Triche holds all the ropes used to drive the carriage.

In fact, it is correct to say that Trice is driving alone.

【Why are you sitting next to that maid?… Well, it’s better than a mosquito bitch.】

To explain why, we need to turn back time for a moment.

**********

It was just before the carriage departed.

I vaguely remembered that the words I learned in school and what Triche said were almost identical.

No, I don’t think it’s almost, I think it’s 100% the same.

What Triche said back then and what I learned during my school days.

– ‘Making the world clean by getting our hands dirty.’

– ‘Making the world clean by getting our hands dirty.’

Strangely enough, I wanted to ask her some more questions, as she seemed to have the same beliefs as me, so I called her to talk to her on the way to the carriage.

“Trice.”

“What is it? Aren’t you done with your business?”

The errands that Triche is talking about are probably an extension of the questions we asked each other in the early morning.

To be honest, I tried to ask questions that seemed to have similar beliefs embedded in my head, but I still couldn’t think of what or how to ask.

“No, I have something to ask… Can I sit next to you?”

So I decided to just ask her what I was curious about and asked her permission to go with me.

“If you have anything to ask, wouldn’t it be okay to ask our poor little master?”

“No, it’s not enough… Don’t be like that, just… How can it not work out?”

“… As long as you can withstand the strong wind, do whatever you want.”

“Thank you, I will tell Illya that I will sit in the coach seat.”

I immediately left Triche, who was packing up her luggage, and went to Ilya, who was already boarding the carriage.

– Bang!

“Oh, dear, have you finally come… What happened last night-”

When I opened the carriage door, Illya called out to me, looking at me as if she had been waiting.

“Sorry, Illya! I’ll sit with Triche this time.”

“Well, that means… it sounds like they are going to sit side by side on the coach seat…”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Woman, as expected… did you have sex the day before?”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about since morning again?”

I don’t know why, but Illya still looked suspiciously at my relationship with Triche from earlier.

“If you don’t have an answer, I’ll just assume that’s what you know?”

– Drurk!

“Now, wait a minute!-”

I closed the carriage door before Illya could say anything annoying.

【Didn’t he finish talking? It felt like I was told to wait for the last time.】

‘It’ll be okay… Even if she looks like that, she’s the king’s daughter… A princess has to go through hardships like this.’

I felt like I could hear voices talking negatively about me several times from inside.

I returned to the carriage where Triche was sitting.

“They said we could sit together in front.”

“… That doesn’t sound right to me… More than that, what kind of signal is it that the little master didn’t resolve the misunderstanding? ”

“Well, it will work out on its own.”

“You guy, you’re probably enjoying being misunderstood as someone who did something like that, right?”

-Slap!

“Tsk, how can that be?”

I saw Triche already sitting in the coach and whipping the horses, so I quickly sat down next to her.

“… I don’t stick too much because it gets in the way of driving the carriage-”

“Well, if I don’t stick to this level, I might fall. Please understand.”

**********

Back to the present.

Of course, the coach seat was more comfortable, but it was more uncomfortable than sitting inside the carriage.

The chairs there were soft, but here they were hard.

“It’s so hard, how can you endure it so well? My butt hurts, so it’s a little hard to hold on now.”

【Why do your words sound dirty?】

‘It’s not dirty at all. ‘You must have been used by some kind of adulteress.’

“That’s…”

【That?… Ah! you’re stupid? Why are you asking something like that?】

‘Why again?’

【Unlike men, women have cushions on their buttocks~ I’m sure she also has a big butt like me, so she doesn’t feel that kind of discomfort as easily as you do!】

‘… It’s a little strange, but it makes surprising sense for what you said… But, you’re floating in the first place.’

【What are you talking about? I’m just sitting down and going. On your right shoulder.】

Chaewon is sitting on my shoulder after a long time.

Like when we first met each other and went out.

‘But I think it would be more uncomfortable to sit on the shoulder than on the coach seat…’

【That’s because you’ve never sat before. Once you sit down, you’ll realize that it’s more comfortable than you thought, right?】

‘Why should I sit on your shoulder?’

“By the way, I’m complaining about the inconvenience, but if I have to sit in such an uncomfortable coach seat instead of enjoying the scenery inside the carriage… I guess I can accept that I have some business left to do, right?◦@ ◦

Triche couldn’t answer my question about how she tolerates the pain in her buttocks so well, so she asked me the question back to me as if trying to change the subject.

“Ah? That’s right.”

“If you sat next to me because you had an evil mind…”

Triche said, glaring at me.

In the meantime, I did not forget how to skillfully handle a horse.

Each time the whip was repeatedly whipped, the speed of the carriage increased.

Deep dark circles remained under Triche’s eyes.

The same goes for me because I spent the night with her.

“No, I’ll ask you now.”

The sound of horse hooves is heard.

On and on, without stopping.

Sometimes you can hear the sound of a whip whipping as the coachman drives the carriage.

Slowly, rhythmically and with balance.

I took a deep breath.

“… Did you know that there was someone who came with me when I first came to Violet’s mansion?”

“I know most of what he did when he came to this mansion, so I think it would be better if you don’t bother him and get to the point quickly so as not to waste time.”

【I guarantee that maid, there is a 200% chance that she is T.】

“… Then where are my group and what are they doing now?”

Instead of repeating what Triche wanted, I asked straight away.

“If you are a member of the group… do you mean the blind woman with white hair or silver hair?”

“Yeah… that white hair. Where are you?”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you that.”

“Why can’t you tell me?”

When Harin left me, she went in the opposite direction from the room I went to, and I have never seen Harin here once.

The reason why I asked Triche this first is simple.

Just a wedding with Illya.

This is because I heard from Verdium that Harin would be sacrificed at the wedding through Illya.

Still, I vaguely remember hearing from Illya that she was providing food, clothing, and shelter in a room different from mine.

“That’s because the little master’s father silenced all the employees.”

“But-”

“What is not possible is not possible. Give up.”

“Then why did you keep her locked up?”

“As far as I know, he was not imprisoned.”

“That’s not true, I heard that you locked the room door from the outside. Why did you do that? Why didn’t you let me come out of the room?”

Triche paused for a moment and seemed to be thinking.

Perhaps it is okay to tell you this.

I think I asked a question that was narrowly within the scope of Verdium’s control.

That’s probably why you’re worried.

“The reason why your group is not allowed to leave the room is… I don’t know exactly, but I think it’s because it may be of use somewhere.”

“And its intended use is as a sacrifice at a wedding… right?”

“I knew it.”

I think we need to change the direction of the question.

“I don’t understand why she is being used as a wedding offering in the first place… but why her?”

“It must be because your group is special.”

“Is it related to ‘parasite’?”

“You… you know ‘parasite’?”

Trice’s mood suddenly changed in an instant.

Previously, she seemed like a maid capable of fighting with no flaws in sight, but now she seems to have the aura of an infinitely strong strongman.

“Is this like an important secret?”

“There are few people who know about parasites.”

“So, you know what a parasite looks like, right? I really don’t know why they tie something like that into a wedding.”

“I don’t know what a parasite looks like. All I know is that it’s a bug.”

“Oh… there’s something you don’t know, right?”

“I think it’s natural not to know…”

“Why is that so?”

“That’s right, there are no parasites in this world.”

“What?”

“So it doesn’t exist at all. Since there is no existence itself, knowing that it is a bug is all there is to know about parasites.”

The world inside this gate is clearly the ‘past’.

So, after listening to what Illya said, I only knew that parasites are still beings that live on others and have little power to dominate them.

However, there was no such thing as a parasite yet.

So, is a parasite born to someone?

Actually, when I first heard that Harin was going to be sacrificed to the Parasite, I thought Verdium needed a sacrifice in his plan to stop the Parasite.

However, after hearing what Triche said, I realized that Verdium was sacrificing Harin for the birth of a parasite.

I don’t know much about parasites either.

I have a definite enemy.
