บท 23: Chapter 23: Good Night
~Tatsumi POV~
Urgh…
Looking around myself I was now back into my room where I first came here to the mansion the first time.
Note to self I must have this bed.
As I was getting myself back up again, I changed my clothes using [Re-equip] into something more casual for me.
Now I'm wearing a white shirt covered by a gray jacket with a bit of fur on the hood while wearing blue pants and boots on me.
Good.
With that, I soon left the door as I now find myself in the hallway seeing that everything is nighttime.
Pretty stars really but I have to wonder who a good choice as a member would be.
As I was wandering around the hallway I soon see Ram coming out from the hallway looking at me with an unknowing expression as she says to me, "Sir Tatsumi, Lord Rosswaal has arrived a few hours ago and is now time for dinner I was ordered to fetch you."
Nodding my head, I just followed Ram behind her as I asked what happened earlier today, "So Ram what exactly happened last I remember that I was tired that I fell asleep in the dining room so you know what happened?"
Ram didn't reply as she then responds to me after a few seconds of waiting with a blank tone that made me flinch a bit, "Yes… as soon as we heard from Beatrice as your [Formal Contract] but once that happens we all smelled a strong [Witch Stench] radiating off from you when you were tired."
Shit.
That can't be a good thing now, isn't it?
Next Ram responds to me with a blank voice continuing where she left off, "After that Rem thought you were an enemy and attacked but soon blocked by Beatrice using her magic to stop Rem in place using [Vita] to stop her in place and once I asked why she defends you Puck was next to explain what happen last night."
Oh…
That is not good…
Like that is really not good…
Next, I hear Echidna through my head as she explained to me what happens from Beatrice's eyes, 'Yes Rem seems to have tried to harm you once she caught a strong scent from me then was about to attack but my Beatrice stopped her before any real damage was done but now she is very hesitant about you now once Puck has explained everything to a degree.'
Damn…
This is certainly not a good way to see this coming.
But I am glad that Beatrice was able to stop it I should really thank her for that one.
Returning myself into reality listening to Ram she says to me in a hesitant tone, "However, when we all learned why you came here I would've said that you are a problem but once Puck has confirmed everything was the truth… it's hard to believe but if he says he had you tested then it must be the truth…"
Hey!
I'm not a dog damn it!
Shaking my head, a bit I then asked Ram what happen to Rem in a curious voice, "I see… then what happened to Rem then if you don't mind me asking?"
Ram replies to me with I think my ears deceiving me as the happiness I hear in her voice, "Well as soon as Puck mention about taking out the Witch Cultist Sin Archbishop's Rem was silent throughout the whole ordeal I'm not sure what my sister is thinking at the moment."
I see…
I guess I would have to ask her personally, but I don't think it necessary since must be thinking very hard at the moment.
As we were going inside the dining room, we soon see everyone present as everyone had their own thoughts of the manner with the man in makeup was grinning at me.
Rosswaal L. Mathers.
Roswaal is a rather tall man standing at 186 cm, making him taller than Natsuki Subaru by at least half a head his well-toned body is slender and appeared delicate despite its impressive musculature.
His very handsome face is ghastly pale which gives him the impression of a classic pretty boy however, his physical beauty is somewhat concealed by his peculiar makeup and getup.
His straight indigo hair is long enough to cover his whole back and is usually tucked behind his ear on the left side of his head. His face is usually decorated with a light-lavender powder, purple lipstick, and purple eye shadow that is adorned on his right eyelid.
His yellow left eye is also bedecked with eye shadow that is more elaborate than the right's eye shadow and covers the whole area around the eye rather than just the eyelid and accompanies his unusual outfit comparable to those similar to a clown or jester, consisting of a black hat, a top, and bottom with different shades of purple, along with red and black boots and a cape. He also has a chain surrounding his right ankle.
Rosswaal was sitting at the table with food on the table as Emilia started to eat but looks at me with concern the same with Rem but more so with guilt, it seems.
Paying attention, the expressions of other people certainly pays off at times telling their expressions when people were around my village.
As I enter inside, I took a seat while Beatrice was now sitting next to me as Rosswaal starts to speak in a carefree manner, "Tatsumiii~ I heard a lot of things from youu~"
Great…
Just perfect I meet Rosswaal during this time when Rem attacked me for the [Witch Scent] I had only to explain seconds later.
Returning myself to reality I noticed that Rosswaal was finally saying to in a carefree manner, "Puck has told me what your predicament is and as the Lord of this house I can't have you stay hereee~"
What?
Looking confused and surprised Rosswaal then explains to me his reason, "You see Tatsumi when Puck explained everything to me about you needing to kill the Sin Archbishops and one of The Three Demon Beasts it would enrage the Witch Cultists to targeting anything related to youuu~"
Yeah.
I figured that was the reason at the very least a most common one.
Since I'm going to be targeting down these Sin Archbishops it would endanger Rosswaal plan to revive the current Echidna and bring in the rest of them if I managed to kill them all.
After all, if I'm targeting them what is stopping them from targeting me or people that I care for.
Plus, I also have to consider that I jeopardize Emilia's election chances as well into the equation for so long as I hunt down the Sin Archbishops, they will hunt down the Emilia camp now that is an issue isn't it?
Next, I heard Emilia say in disagreement trying to defend me while Rem looks surprised, "Rosswaal isn't that a bit much to kick him out for trying to do what he needs to be sent home!"
Thanks for the help Emilia your innocence is surely refreshing…
But Rosswaal does have a point whether I like it or not frankly he is right about me being a danger to everyone here.
From what I learn is to never underestimate these guys since they can be very ruthless and crazy which they have plenty to spare like how the Sin Archbishop of Sloth was able to come here by himself to attack everyone here.
There is another thing to consider that Rosswaal will sacrifice all just for the chance to revive his master but won't give me second thoughts as I would become a thorn to his plans of reviving Echidna if all the other Sin Archbishops come knocking at the mansion.
Rosswaal responds to Emilia in the same tone but says with a bit of seriousness in his voice, wow color me impressed, "Emilia remember I'm doing it with the best intentions after all if the word has gotten out that someone was actively hunting down the Sin Archbishops from our camp how do you think the others would respond with?"
Emilia just stands there a bit confused as I finish up for Emilia an answer in a serious voice, "That would be them targeting your camp and destroy anything involving me since the cultist would consider this as retaliation and the other camps will take this opportunity to get an advantage over you any way they see fit."
Rosswaal claps his hand at this as he replies to me with a smile, "Exactly right Tatsumi it would leave us vulnerableee~"
This is true I'm not going to argue with that so long as the Witch Cultists are around there is no way for me to help them out if I was gone for long.
Next was Rem to speak in a nervous voice as she tries to defend me, "Rosswaal sir, is it wise to send him off like this after all he did save Emilia from the 'Bowel Hunter' surely you must give him a reward for doing so."
Looking at Rem in surprise I thanked her as she says to me in a hesitant voice, "Tell me Tatsumi is it true that you wish to kill these foul people down."
Smirking at her I reply with a nod filled with determination, "Yeah I'll get the job done I'll hunt down these monsters for good Rem!"
Wow did Rem just blush at that!
I'm certainly getting to her good side now if I go after the Witch Cultist and their leaders.
But returning myself to Rosswaal I did want a few things I should ask but something worthwhile, "Rosswaal there are a few things I would like to ask, and could you consider them before I leave in the morning?"
Rosswaal stood there with a smile on his face as he says to me, "Hmm… depending on what it is I might consider it Tatsumiii~"
Smiling at this I then began to request for him a few things in a confident voice, "Good. In that case, can I allowed to come here to visit anytime I want regardless of my reputation becomes?"
Rosswaal looks at me confused but then nods his head as he says to me, "Very well you can come to visit as much as you like but do not bring anyone that poses a threat young Tatsumi. But for now, you can sleep for the night before you go off, I will supply you with what you need on your journeyyy~"
Bowing my head to Rosswaal I reply to him in a grateful tone, "Very well Lord Rosswaal, I thank you very much I hope you have a good night then, and thank you very much for the compensation."
With that everything for the night went off to a good start but turns bittersweet at the end.
The food was good though that was for sure as I was returning to my room Rem comes to me as she holds my sleeve.
Without seeing her I already knew what she was going to say but I beat her to it, "Don't worry I forgive you anyone with a [Witch Scent] on them is considered bad I don't mind that you attacked me it was fine."
Rem feeling surprised but expressed a sad frown asks me in doubt, "Is it really that fine for you to apologize to me after I tried to kill you?"
Responding to her in a comforting tone I reply to Rem, "Yeah it's alright after all I guess your reaction must be pretty bad in the past for you to hate a person with [Witch Scent] I understand since a lot of people had them before so it was fine ok?"
Turning to her I see the brilliant blue eyes as she asks me a serious question, "Tatsumi… is it really true that you will kill these Witch Cultists…"
Smirking at her I gave her a head pat telling her with a smile of confidence, "Yeah those Sin Archbishops have nothing on me, after all, it's a bunch of crazy overpowered people against me I say they need all the help they need."
Rem looks at me with concern as she asks me with confusion in her voice, "Rem knows they have a lot of people even with Beatrice what do you have that they don't?"
Smiling at this I reply to her while placing my hand on her chin lifting to meet my eyes I say to her, "Easy what can they do against a person with confidence on my side I know I won't be the one to lose it's them…. You know you're much prettier than your sister."
That got her to blush as she backs off from me as she says to me, "No Rem isn't pretty as her onee-chan I'm just…"
I interrupted her with my voice as I explain to her how she is better, "No I think you're the impressive one you work hard, cook for everything good, have a cute smile, and you are pretty don't sell yourself short Rem."
Rem just stands there in shock at my words as I say to her before finally walking back to my room for the night, "Also Rem you have to get a better self-esteem as well smile more often how else you would get a good man in your life!"
Rem just gets more embarrassed as she yells back at me, "Tatsumi-i… how can you say those words how else does Rem think you would get a good wife!"
Urgh!
Critical hit!
Falling comedically Rem comes to pick me off as we both discussed a few things before we parted ways.
Today has really been a good night I just wish it would last is all… and steal that bed…
