Chapter 105 Rosalier'S Day Part One
Tatsuma, Rosalier, Maya, and their reckless actions caused the fall of Daioraden. As a result, the Guild Branch Manager, Risleyria, became the queen and changed the name to Swiglefen. After somehow finishing the aftermath, Tatsuma and the others returned to Watterhill the next day.
When Rosalier woke up, the first thing she did was go to the bathroom to wash her face. After finishing washing her face, she learned from Tatsuma how to brush her teeth. She used a brush with polishing powder made from natural materials, about the size of her pinky finger, to brush her teeth.
It also contained materials extracted from refreshing fruits, which made her mouth feel refreshed. Ever since she learned this, Rosalier started to enjoy this time of brushing her teeth, even if it was just a little bit.
These things were said to be brought to this world by people like Tatsuma who crossed over from a different world. The soap, which gives a refreshing feeling when used every day, has also been passed down from ancient times.
After that, she went back to her room, changed her clothes, and checked herself in the mirror. Today, she's dressed completely in black from head to toe.
The living room and dining room are right next to her room. The kitchen behind it is also her workplace in the morning.
When she peek into the living room, Rosalier looking a bit surprised. At the same time, she probably did not notice that she had a slight smile on jer face.
Even though it's still dark and the sun might rise soon, Tatsuma, who's like a master to her, is sitting there, enjoying what looks like tea.
The problem is, Tatsuma is an early riser compared to Rosalier. It's not just today, it's always like this when they return to Watterhill's mansion.
It's an exception when they stay at the Swiglefen inn. It must be related to the training that will happen later.
"Good morning, Rosalier-san."
"Good morning, Goshujin-sama."
"Well then, shall we do it before Maya-chan wakes up?"
"...Again?"
"There's no choice, right? We can't do it in Swiglefen (over there). Well, I guess once we start living in the guild building, we won't be bothering everyone, so it is what it is."
"Yes... I suppose so. Really."
Tatsuma and Rosalier leave the mansion. The time on Tatsuma's 'Display Self-Status' screen is still before 6 AM. The surroundings are dim, and there are no people walking in the town.
They walk over the bridge and cross the river, arriving at the cliff where Tatsuma used to train. As Tatsuma turns right towards Rosalier...
"Well then, around this placec――"
Without any warning, Tatsuma's collar is slashed by a knife with a black blade. As Tatsuma is about to fall, a mat is laid out on the spot, and Rosalier gently holds him, providing a lap pillow.
The blood from Tatsuma that had splattered around and on Rosalier's knees seems to rewind in time as it returns back into him.
"Ugh..."
A voice of a girl could be heard from behind Rosalier.
"--Oh, you saw it, didn't you, Maya-san?"
"Uh, yes, um... I-I'm sorry..."
"It's okay. You could say it's one of Goshujin-sama's bad habits..."
Tatsuma had once wished to die, believing in his Healing Attribute magic. He must have thought that Rosalier's skillful hands could instantly kill him. It's understandable, but it's inevitable to struggle with the question of whether it's really okay.
Since then, it somehow became a routine, and it's said that the day wouldn't start without it. Kind-hearted Rosalier reluctantly went along with it, and that's the current situation.
Rosalier explained all of this briefly to Maya.
"Totally, like, why would uncle make Rosalier-san do something like this? It's totally cringeworthy, you know? But whatever, Maya'll just forget about what happened this morning because it was not cool to watch... Yeah, maybe it's best to forget about it..."
"I guess that's the way to go..."
"But if you really need help, you can always talk to Maya, you know? Rosalier-san and Maya are pretty close, after all."
"Thanks a bunch. It's really reassuring, Maya-san."
Maya sighed and muttered disapprovingly as Tatsuma, who had been sleeping on Rosalier's lap, finally regained consciousness.
"...Huh? Oh, sorry as always, Rosalier-san."
"Good morning. Goshujin-sama."
Tatsuma, who was supposed to be dead thanks to Rosalier, opened his eyes and casually offered words of comfort, which was kinda lame.
"Oh? What's up, Maya-chan? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I, uh, got caught... I mean, I followed Rosalier-san and uncle because you two were sneaking around in the dim early morning. I wonder where you're going... Well, when I followed you two, this is what I saw. It's the first time I've seen someone die, you know?"
"Huh? Maya-chan, who was covered in blood during the 'Operation Overthrow the Royal Family,' is suddenly saying what now?"
"Well, that was like being a 'MOB,' you know, just blowing off some steam and all."
So, when Maya says 'mob', she's actually talking about a shortened term for Moving Object, and it usually refers to those characters who get beat up in movies or games.
"A mob? It's not like they're the ones playing the samurai roles in period dramas, you know?"
Well, Tatsuma didn't really think much of it either.
"But seriously, isn't it more unbelievable to see people uncle know being dead? And what about Rosalier-san? Don't you think it's wrong to make her do that?"
"Well, it's because she's Rosalier-san that she can handle such impossible requests. If that's the case, can Maya-chan do it instead?"
"No, no, no. Just because I know how uncle come back to life like a zombie... Oh wait, that's not really coming back to life, is it? Anyway, it's too gross, so it's kind of impossible for Maya."
At this point, Tatsuma was being treated like an "undead" being. Maya's response didn't deny the possibility.
"Undead? But Maya-chan doesn't like them, right? That's why I'm asking Rosalier-san for help, you know."
"...Umm, Goshujin-sama and Maya-san, you two aren't siblings, right?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"No, no, we're not."
"No, no, we're not."
At the same time, Tatsuma and Maya both turn to Rosalier and make a gesture of denial, shaking their hands from side to side in front of their faces.
"Well, it's kind of both, you know..."
Rosalier couldn't help but think that their appearance may be different, but they both seemed like the same kind of 'creature' inside.
Currently, Rosalier serves as Tatsuma's personal female house steward, maid, secretary, and even the strongest sword that Tatsuma knows. In other words, while taking care of everything in the mansion, she sometimes accompanies Tatsuma and provides various support, and if necessary, she defeats enemies that stand in their way.
Rosalier became someone whom Tatsuma recognized in this role, without any questions asked. It was Rosalier's own wish to be by Tatsuma's side.
For Rosalier, Tatsuma is like a monster, a scary presence. He's the only target she failed to assassinate as a professional. But he's also like a god who saved her and her family from a living hell. He's like a careless little brother, but there's a lovable side to him that she can't help but adore.
