*Bam!*
I kick open the door without knocking.
“Hiih?!” (Shiva)
And Shiva screamed in surprised from it.
He stops his hands that were signing documents.
“What, so it was Haine! Ah~, that surprised me. Did you check on Hyue already? I want to hear the details about it, but sadly to say, I still can’t get my hands off this, you see.” (Shiva)
“[Dark Matter, Set]” (Haine)
“Eh? Uwaaa?!!” (Shiva)
I engulf Shiva in dark matter no questions asked and, just like that, leave the room carrying him on my shoulders.
Kidnapping the Founder?, I don’t care.
I have the permission of the wind hero, so there’s no problem.
***
And in this way, I return shouldering my catch, and there, I could see Hyue returning with the ghost Juo under her arms.
“Good?” (Hyue)
“Good.” (Haine)
We were having an exchange with the minimum amount of words.
Quick information transmission is an important part in succeeding at a crime.
And so, like this, we gathered the bride and groom.
We made them do a seiza side by side.
“Uhm…Hyue? Just what in the world is going on?!” (Shiva)
Shiva was unable to understand what was happening at all and the fact that he was suddenly kidnapped.
You would obviously want to hear the reason in all the confusion.
“There’s no way you don’t know, Aniue-sama. I have already heard everything from Fein-san.” (Hyue)
“Eh…” (Shiva)
“Even when you are in face of your wedding that only happens once in your whole life, you have been too focused in your job that you haven’t done the preparations. Aniue-sama’s wedding not only involves both of your families, but also the whole Wind nation, and on top of that, it also gathers the attention of the other Churches.” (Hyue)
Truly the epitome of workaholic.
“If you were to show an unsightly wedding because of a lack of preparations, the embarrassment of the Wind Church could be transmitted to the whole world! I will have Aniue-sama and the others concentrate on the wedding preparations! All other jobs will be temporarily put on hold!” (Hyue)
“B-But, if we were to do that, the management of the Wind Church would stagnate—!” (Shiva)
“Just leave it to administration. If they can’t progress with anything without inquiring with the Founder, they are of no need!” (Hyue)
“No, but…it was because of my long absence that work that only the Founder can put a final word to has been accumulated heavily…!” (Shiva)
“If you have been able to manage until today, you can manage to accumulate it for 10 days more. At any rate, please quickly decide the priest for the ceremony!” (Hyue)
Uwa…
Hyue is going full-throttle, no questions asked.
I thought she was a straight-laced and moderate girl, but to think she had such a strong pushy side to her.
“Hyue-ojousama has been like that since long ago.” (Fein)
Fein-san, who is standing by my side, says this.
“She is polite and proper when in public, but with her relatives…especially Shiva-obocchama and Juo-sama, she is…how to say it, incredibly strong!” (Fein)
“Even towards Juo?” (Haine)
Meaning she sees Juo as a relative?
Or more like, she sounds like the total opposite of our Doraha.
“Yes. I am serving the Toreido family from my father’s side, so I know of Obocchama since they were children. Hyue-ojousama, who is normally obedient like a doll, would turn into a beast only at the times when Juo-sama came to play!” (Fein)
“I thought that was because she hated me…!” (Juo)
““Hiiih?!””
Juo suddenly appeared from nowhere, and Fein and I were about to have our heart stopped.
Looks like her ghost-looks aren’t something that you get used to no matter how long you know that person for, as proved by Fein-san.
“I have been bitten by her in the times she was not even a year old. I thought that she simply couldn’t stand me in a physiological level…!” (Juo)
“T-That’s not the case, Juo-sama! Hyue-ojousama likes Juo-sama quite a lot!” (Fein)
“Really?” (Juo)
Maid-san, I understand you wanting to smooth the relationship of your employer’s family, but I think you shouldn’t say those kind of things so lightly…
“That’s true. When Juo-sama was a child, every time you came to play to our residence, Shiva-obocchama would always meet you together with her, didn’t she?!” (Fein)
“Rather than calling it meeting me, it was more like she was waiting to hit me…!” (Juo)
I can imagine a little Hyue going ‘grrr’ as she shouts ‘don’t touch Aniue-sama!!’.
“Even when Juo-sama walked the path of a scientist and entered the academy, Hyue-ojousama had Juo-sama in her mind. She held you in her mind as much as Shiva-obocchama who had entered training for the Kazama Shinobis.” (Fein)
“It is more of a ‘know thy enemy’…!” (Juo)
The one who controls information controls the war after all.
“Well, I have tried asking about this to Hyue-ojousama once. About what she thinks of Juo-sama.” (Fein)
“You overstepped your boundaries there, Maid-san.” (Haine)
This has already pushed me to blurt my thoughts out.
“Well, I brought that topic up in between casual talk though. Until that time, I honestly thought that Hyue-sama didn’t like the lady of the Brastor household.” (Fein)
But Hyue apparently answered in this way.
“She said: ‘It is the person that Aniue-sama likes a lot, so it can’t be helped’.” (Fein)
Fein-san plays out with a change of tone.
“Looks like rather than her own feelings, she had accepted the feelings that Shiva-obocchama had towards Juo-sama and couldn’t do anything about. She treasures her brother more than anything else after all. She understands that the help of Juo-sama is necessary for the sake of Shiva-obocchama’s happiness.” (Fein)
“Eh…” (Juo)
“There’s no bigger happiness as a maid than being able to serve these siblings.” (Fein)
That’s how Fein-san wrapped this up.
This might be the silver tongue of a maid that is trying to avoid problems within the family, but it also felt like there was a tint of truth in it.
That must be how the heart of a human works.
“Fein-san! Fein-san!!” (Hyue)
And Hyue was currently unstoppable.
“The personal selection of the priest, the interior design of the banquet, the seating order of the attendees; all of those have been decided! What’s left is for the staff to do their best!!” (Hyue)
Already?!
Hyue-san sure works fast!
“Thank you very much!! With this, we will make it to the estimated day!!” (Fein)
“What hasn’t been decided yet is the bride’s dress!!” (Hyue)
Hyue’s gaze falls onto Juo.
“Let’s go, Juo! This point alone can’t be left to the groom! You have to choose for yourself the dress that you will be displaying!!” (Hyue)
“……Hyue.” (Juo)
“Hm? What?” (Hyue)
“Nice, sister-in-law.” (Juo)
“Stop with the nonsensical talk and hurry. I heard that the bride’s dress is still only sewn in its initial stages!!” (Hyue)
Hyue pulls the hand of Juo-san.
This is the first time I see her going in such an energetic manner. I can already see the difference in treatment she has towards family.
