Chapter 3: The Strongest Bodyguard

Weiss’s house… The Hamilton family is a noble family with a decent history. The mansion is old, but it is splendid, and there are hidden passages. And there is also a hidden treasure of ancestors. However, only the lords of each generation are informed of its existence.

In the game, Phyllis, Weiss’s adopted sister and the main heroine, knows about the existence of the hidden passage. When she moves there, she discovers it along with rare equipment, which becomes the funds for the protagonists to manage the territory. The reason Weiss didn’t touch it, even though he was so short of money, was probably because he didn’t know about it.

“It’s really hard to have an excellent younger sister…”

I laughed self-deprecatingly, carrying my sword and wearing leather armor, and headed to the meeting place. This ache in my chest is mine. In my previous life, I was also troubled by the existence of my excellent younger sister. The fact that I had the same troubles is one of the reasons I support Weiss.

By the way, the reason I’m armed is that the hidden passage hasn’t been used much, and it has become a nest for monsters. I’ve had Rosalia gather trustworthy soldiers, so there shouldn’t be a problem. This should pay off the debt.

“Hey hey hey? Isn’t it a little too unpopular?”

There was no one at the meeting place. No, to be precise, only Rosalia was there. I couldn’t help but let out a pathetic voice at the situation. ++What should I do?++

“Hey, Rosalia… Could it be that there are no soldiers I can trust…”

“That… Weiss-sama you have a personality that is easily misunderstood, and you have been rough lately…”

“You mean there’s no one? How unpopular am I?!”

As expected, the people’s loyalty of 10 is not in vain! To be honest, it’s on the edge, so I can’t do anything reckless…

“Officially, there is one person, but he is busy at the moment. Besides, you have me, don’t you, Weiss-sama?”

“No, I know Rosalia is trustworthy, but… this is a battle… No, wait a minute.”

Rosalia puffed out her chest with a smug look on her face. Perhaps because of that, her shapely chest swayed for a moment. It can’t be helped that I followed her with my eyes.

I remember the time of the game. When I defeated Weiss, I also fought Rosalia, and I remember struggling with magic and spears. ++I mean, she was ridiculously strong for an early-game enemy… Ah, yes… If I could see her status like in the game, maybe…++

“Sorry, this is a bit bad…”

“Huh? Lord Weiss? No matter how lonely you are… Ah, but… if it’s what you desire, Lord Weiss…”

I grabbed Rosalia’s shoulder, who was blushing for some reason, and stared at her. Then, for some reason, she closed her eyes. What happened? I don’t know, but as a chance, I looked into her status. In the game, if you align the cursor, you can understand the character’s status to some extent, but…

◇ ◇ ◇

++No, no, high status!! What is this, did they set it randomly because she’s an enemy character? And what is the ice princess of slaughter? There’s definitely something in the past. Was she such an important character?++

No wonder I had such a hard time at the beginning of the game. But if this is the case, it’s okay! With her, we can defeat any monsters.

Well, like Weiss, the enemy characters have higher stats than the main characters do.

“Muuu”

“Huh? What’s wrong? You look very dissatisfied…”

“It’s nothing!! But I’m glad Weiss-sama, you are feeling better.”

When I looked at her status and was surprised, she looked at me with a dissatisfied look on her face, but immediately smiled happily.

“I will definitely protect you, Weiss-sama. So don’t worry!!”

And so, Rosalia and I decided to enter the hidden passage together.
