Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 106

“So, what do you need so early in the morning?”

envy

After a while, the sister of my heart that has properly put her appearance in order spoke up. A surcoat and silver gauntlet and greaves specially made for the Five Emperors. The red hair that was standing up here and there has been nicely arranged, her features have the appropriate dignity for the Flame Empress Envy that everyone looks up to. The figure of a slug can no longer be seen anywhere.

no more rare envy

Good bye, slug sister. May we meet again on another morning. Also good morning, watas.h.i.+ no ane (my sister). It seems her sleepiness has been blown away by Nanaki’s special morning tea. Like this Nanaki can also rest a.s.sured and get to the main topic.

to work

“Bluntly speaking, I came because I would like you to arrange a meeting with the emperor.”

“…….the emperor?”

“Yes”

problem?

Sister asked in return with a suspicious expression, so I smiled and nodded. How is it, I’m cute right? It’s Nanaki’s smile. I would love for Envy to learn from this. Because she is making a scary expression. When considering our respective positions that cannot be helped, but Nanaki’s sister should not be so weak that she cannot smile because of just this much.

smiling is best proof of strength

Come, together with Nanaki, waraimashou(let’s smile).

kira

“Haa…….you brought up a troublesome matter again.”

“Did I?”

“You did”

paperwork?

She replied instantly.

difficult?

Whether we started on the main topic or not, all I hear from her are sighs. Now then, this is troubling. In order to peacefully arrange for the meeting with the emperor that master entrusted to me, this sister’s aid is needed. Nanaki is quite hated by the rest of the Five Emperors after all. Seriously, being too strong can be troubling. Right?

so if not peacefully….

When I asked for his approval, Friend also nodded in agreement. Thank you thank you, Nanaki’s friend. You really are kind, you understand Nanaki. As expected of the famed Lightning of Legend, you really are a very wonderful G.o.d. Please be proud and hold your chest high.

already is

By the way, I would like to ask, but why do you look at Nanaki every time the word ‘chest’ comes out. It is the wise you, you must have a very deep reason for doing so. Ho, you aren’t look at a chest? Hoho, a board? I see. What an funny joke, I will kill you later.

rip

For now the job master entrusted me with is the priority. I will put aside this murderous urge in my chest for a while. This excellent Nanaki will choose the time and place.

erai er-

“Meeting……by when?”

“By today.”

“Today!?”

what happened to choosing time

Yep.

think about the paperwork

When I nodded in response to Envy who had let out something like a scream, she let out an even larger sigh.

toublesome imouto

“Come on, Nanaki…….the emperor isn’t someone you can meet so easily. Aside from when the emperor calls for you, meeting the emperor requires proper formalities. As a former Five Emperor, you know that right?”

“Of course.”

that’s why Nanaki is here

As Envy says, I have heard that to meet the emperor that reigns over this Frost Empire requires a corresponding amount of formalities. This country that boasts the largest population among all existing countries and can not even be compared to other countries in military strength, is the last bastion of humanity. Meeting with the greatest authority of that, and even within a day, normally thinking is impossible. But if there is an existence that has even a chance of making that possible, then there is only this sister.

onegai~

“That is why I came to ask you.”

“…….that’s not asking, that’s called leaving everything to someone else.”

“That is why I came to leave everything to you.”

“That’s not it, Nanaki, I didn’t just want you to rephrase it.”

“So selfish.”

“Nanaki is……..”

so many requests

Envy sat down tiredly on a modern sofa. How many sighs is this? It feels a lot gloomier than the ones before.

happiness is escaping

Master has entrusted arrangements for the meeting to Nanaki, but did not specify the date. But it is decided that it is better to get these things done faster. As Nanaki prides myself as a capable maid, it is desirable to prepare for the meeting quickly. I don’t really like making sister suffer for that, but this is also for Envy’s sake.

how?

Because once this meeting is over, a world where I no longer have to direct my sword at my sister should be waiting.

…

That is the best ending that Nanaki and Envy definitely could not have arrived at. We only have our swords. We had our own prides, yet did not want to kill the other, that’s why we chose to be cursed. But that is not a solution. Nanaki did not have the means to break that curse.

strength cant solve everything

——and he will accomplish that.

not with power

That person that has a lot lesser strength than Nanaki, that person I met in that aristocrat’s town, he will accomplish what Nanaki could not do. On that prided day, he charmed Nanaki with just his proud ways, and now he will once again show me that radiance.

kirakira

So Nanaki shall open the way. Because I vowed it that day. That I will wipe away all that stood on his path to glory.

to be his sword

I have a large debt to Envy. But, at this instant, this feeling wins. Ah, that’s right friend. I don’t mind if you call that feeling love. It is not even something you can tease me about, because Nanaki like Zean Alfred. I’ve said it, Nanaki will obtain him.

no mattr what

Yes, that’s right. For that, just as you say, I also must have Envy arrange for the meeting no matter what. But honestly speaking, I’m not that worried. She is Flame Empress Envy, Nanaki’s sister. This is the family of this special Nanaki.

she is special too

Hmhmph, don’t underestimate Nanaki’s sister too much. Nanaki’s sister is amazing, no matter what I ask for, she will do something about it.

spoilt

“…….fine, I will do something about it.”

too sweet on Nanaki

See, banzai. Raise my hands towards the sky with Friend, I name this, the pose of praisingnanaki.

or wors.h.i.+pping?

“Thank you very much, Envy.”

strange way to thank

Nanaki also doesn’t forget the polite words of thanks. I properly lowered my head and thanked my kind sister. Thank you thank you.

ur welc

“Because it’s impossible to know what Nanaki would do if I don’t do something about it.”

“You’re making me blush.”

“I’m not praising you.”

“Then please praise me.”

“Okay okay, kawaii kawaii”

just had to leave it like that

I did it.

easy

Even if it is a casual answer, words of praise are words of praise. In response to Friend’s are you really okay with that, I gave him a smile and peacesign, this is fine. I name this, nanakismile of affirmation. Everyone around the world, it’s kawaii Nanaki.

kawaii~

Like this I have successfully completed the role entrusted to me by master. I also obtained words of praise from Envy along the way. I involuntarily clapped at this best conceivable result, pachipachinanaki of self-praise. As I thought, a master maid really has to be like that. Only those that accurately and quickly completes their duties has the qualifications to take on the t.i.tle of master.

i think there are other requirements

“Then I shall return to mater’s side.”

“Ah, wait a bit maid-san.”

As I turned back to deliver the good news to master at once, I was stopped. It seems Envy also has something for Nanaki. Good, the time when I can talk with the sister of my heart is pure happiness for Nanaki. Please ask anything you like.

chat more~

“Non non, master maid. Master maid Nanaki.”

french?

But before that, lecture her on how to address Nanaki. Shake my finger and head to chide Envy. Even if it is Nanaki’s sister, treating the special existence that is Nanaki the same as the average maid is infuriating. Accordingly, I will have you immediately correct it. Be careful from the next time onwards.

got it

“Okay okay, so, mustard-san.”

master + maid-san=

Mustard-san!?

yep

“Leave the meeting to me. But promise me just one thing, Nanaki.”

“Okay”

anything

There isn’t even a need to ask. But that is something Envy must say.

get it out there

“Don’t lay a hand on the emperor no matter what. Promise me this.”

no problem

That was a very low voice that was unlike her. In those red eyes where kindness can usually be seen, pure pressure can be seen. That’s right, it’s that way to Envy. Because she is suffering under the curse that much.

….

“If not, I will have to point my sword at Nanaki again.”

…

Because she cares about Nanaki that much.

…

That’s why with my unmeasurable amount of grat.i.tude, I told my sister.

….

“It’s okay, Envy.”

…

Because the curse will be broken.
