...... d*mn it, you've got to be kidding me. ......!
With a shout, there was a dull thud.
A chair had been kicked away and crushed against the wall.
Shattered pieces of wood littered the ground, and Craig let out a small breath at the sight.
Although Brett has been on his butt these days, there's a reason why it's been so rough today.
A certain servant has quit.
It's not that the servant was Brett's favorite, though.
Rather, it's the opposite.
A servant who was insignificant to Brett, whose name he doesn't even remember.
That servant was--
It's a good thing that you're not a mere servant. ...... I warned you if you knew what would happen if you quit at the last minute, and you're going to do something about it. ...! Me! To a fool! You did it. ......!
He stomps on the wood that has been lying at his feet and, still not feeling better, kicks it into the wall, where it becomes smaller and smashes.
At more scattered trash, Craig lets out another sigh.
It's probably an indulgence to Craig that he's doing it in this room when he could have just gone back to his room to vent his frustration.
It is not clear if this is a conscious decision, but by lashing out in this way, you are trying to elicit agreement from us that you are dissatisfied with the situation.
In this way, you want us to affirm that your feelings are right.
Knowing this, however, Craig said something else.
"...... Brett, enough of that.
"But father ......!
"I'm not asking you to control your frustration, but at least don't hit things . Who do you think is going to clean it up?
"Of course it was--no, no, it was, I'm sorry ......
At that moment, the rage of the previous rage subsided as if it was a lie because I remembered the current situation.
Normally, you would have the servants clean up these things, but that's not possible right now.
It is simply because there is no longer enough room for them to do such unnecessary things.
Only one of the servants just quit, but within the past few days, they have been leaving one after another.
That's why Brett was so vocal about the quit servants ...... although as far as being irritated, that's only one reason.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what I'm talking about.
Just when you think you've banished those bastards and are just getting started, they keep stumbling over each other.
It's like a curse on those bastards and it's also annoying.
It's especially annoying when it comes to Brett.
"d*mn it, ......, they're better than me, of all people. ......! Those know-nothing fools at ......!
He may have stopped lashing out, but his frustration hasn't gone away.
Craig sniffs with cold eyes as he watches Brett, who is still mumbling and complaining.
Of course Craig knows this is talked about among the servants.
It's foolish, Craig thinks ...... but he didn't say anything to Brett.
As I said before.
The feeling is (・・・・) understandable (・・・・・).
Craig was frustrated enough, too.
Craig was also frustrated enough, and to a greater degree than you are, because he couldn't bring his feelings out.
But not acting out of frustration is not because he knows better or because he is proud of himself.
It's because he knows he doesn't have to.
Well, I know how you feel, but you should relax. That thing tells me it's time to move on.
As he said it, this time Brett's irritation vanished from the surface.
Instead, a smile flashed across his face.
Oh ......! So that's finally, that's ......!
You will not dare to reply to the words, but only show them with a smile on your face.
The reason why I did so is not because I had any intentions, but simply because I felt that Craig was also finally ready.
Oh, finally, this time.
You can't fail this time.
Besides--
"There is one more piece of good news. Here's another piece of good news: ...... Apparently, there's another puppet of God over there.
...... Does that mean that a saint, that is? While it is certainly a pleasure to ......
Maybe it's because of the past, but Brett can't seem to be honestly happy about it.
But for once, he didn't have to worry about it.
I think I know what you're worried about, but don't you have to worry about that?
But why would a saint go to a place like that ...... Oh, no, did I mention that they were close friends ....... So, that's why?
"Well. They're not clever enough to go that far. Well, maybe they're looking for the general or something.
...... I see. Considering the circumstances, it's entirely possible. I've been wondering why you came all the way out of the capital to see ...... and that makes sense.
Impressed, Brett nodded, and rightfully so.
It's not something that just came to me on the spur of the moment, but because I've been wondering if Craig has been like that all along.
I never talked about it before because I didn't have the opportunity, and I didn't think I needed to.
I don't care what you have to do, I don't care what the problem is.
Then there's that thing's uncle (・・・・・・・), but no, I don't care why.
...... Surely that's true. But does that mean you get two of these ...... This time the brave men will not be disturbed, right?
"Don't worry. The brave man has been seen in another place. It's a long way from there. Even if you were to head there now, it will be after everything is over when you get there.
To begin with, the report says that the hero is on his way to the capital.
There's no need to worry about being interrupted this time.
When I said that, Brett was finally relieved and his mouth relaxed.
It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
The report says that there were two other people in addition to that one, but no need to worry about that. It's probably a knight in shining armor or someone who has no idea what kind of horse's bones he's talking about.
Sure . ......, but honestly, for me it's the other way around.
"The reverse ...... means you're not overdoing it (・・・・・・・), right?
Yes . The brave man didn't care about the details because he preferred to kill, but according to the story, he is going to use ......
A different kind of anxiety passed over Brett's face, but Craig brushed it off with his nose.
It was also nothing to worry about.
What, it's not a problem. They say you're pretty handy for a guy of your size. I'm sure he'll be able to bite off his bottom half.
I wish it were ......, but in that sense, it's a good thing that the saint was headed there. In the unlikely event that you fail, it won't be both of them.
"...... seems to be.
Although he honestly didn't like Brett's attitude, as if he was trying to find something to worry about, even if he was forcing himself to do so, Craig snickered at himself.
Brett has always been like this, and Craig didn't use to be bothered by such things.
The fact that this has become a distraction means that there is no room for it anymore ......, but that's just a short time away.
It's a good thing that you're so close to having the doll in your hands ......
Oh ...... I'm really, really looking forward to that time.
Craig laughed, his mouth twisted into a smile as he thought of his own approaching future.
