CHAPTER 163 – THE LOVELY HELEN

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 .
