A Pervert Appeared, So I'm Returning to My Country (2)
"These individuals are your new maids. All of them are from different worlds. We have decided to provide them protection in Arland. Please, remove their collars immediately. It seems there's a spell that would cause them to die if removed. If neutralizing it takes time, so be it."
Making people from another worlds into maids... Well, it's true that forcing them to be soldiers would be a mistake due to their strength, so I guess it can't be helped.
I approached them and analyzed the collars. Indeed, there was a death spell in case of disobedience. However, interfering with it using magic and breaking it was possible. Come to think of it, Father and Mother are not adept at using magic delicately, so maybe that's why they find it troublesome to destroy it.
It's certain that I can break it faster. The analysis result indicated that I could easily break it. In other words, it also proved that the method used to bind these girls cannot restrain me.
I immediately interfere with the spell, rewriting the ownership authorization. Then, when I casually released it, the collars came off on their own. Easy-peasy. Compared to hacking into a system, this was a task was effortless.
"See beyond distances, show me the world, 'Farsight'... Found you, Alicia! 'Forced Teleportation.'"
"Huh?"
Anyway, since they were covered in wounds, let's clean their body first. They are fairly clean now, but having lived in unsanitary conditions for years, their hair and such were in bad shape. If it's Alicia, she can use my soap and magic tools, so let's send them to the bath.
"That... my ability..."
"My teleportation?"
The two girls seemed to mutter something, but I couldn't hear it.
"? Alicia, take these girls to the bath and clean them up. You can use my soap and magic tools."
"Why am I here when I was giving instructions for door repairs just a moment ago…?"
Alicia seemed unable to understand why she was here, but for now, she tilted her head and said, "It's normal for the Princess," then took the three of them away. It seems she wasn’t feeling disgusted washing those girls with my soap or anything... maybe she was just confused by the sudden turn of events.
"Now, shall we get to the main topic? Do you remember anyone by the name of ‘Proxy’?"
"Even if you suddenly bring up the main topic, I don't understand. Someone acting as a substitute? I don't think I have a double, do I?”
Suddenly, Father and Big brother had serious expressions. By the way, Mother realized that punishment was ineffective and gave up, sitting next to Father.
"Mhm, then, Alicetia, are you able to create your own alter ego or something similar?"
"I can, but there's no reason to create one. What are you talking about?"
I don't understand. What is he saying? An alter ego? I have no interest in such chuunibyo things.
"... I see. Well, forget it!! No, it's just a bit of a personal issue. Don't worry about it."
I don't get it, but it feels like there was some meaning behind it. However, the atmosphere was telling me not to ask further, and I won't. It's probably going to be brushed off anyway.
Now, once I finish healing the girls, I'll quickly fix the airships and return... Is there something I forgot? Hmm, if I can't remember, it probably wasn't that important.
For now, I left the room and headed to the bathing area. Come to think of it, this was my first time here. I usually used the small bath in my room.
There, the three of them were all fluffy and bubbly, just like Alicia. She used my beauty products in addition to my soap and magic tool. I had no interest, but Alicia insisted that I should use them. The soap was a high-end commercial product, though.
"It's recovery~ time!"
Since I’m about to get wet, I took off my clothes and stood tall.
"Princess, please have a little modesty."
"You always ses me like this, so I don't mind. Just pat me down quickly."
I immediately use Heal for treatment. The scars were mainly from whips, I guess? Well, it's not that severe, but there were clear marks. After quickly healing them, I washed myself lightly and left the bath without getting in. They were still a bit weak, so they will be protected for a while, and I will give them maid training once they can move. They seemed to want to distance themselves from fighting.
Next, I joined Father and Mother and flew to the airship crash site. I was busying myself, but Father wasn’t idle either. It's better to fix things quickly.
"Exchange the magic stones... engrave the spell and done!! Let the engineers repair the damaged parts when we return.”
The airships with broken magic stones were finished in about 10 minutes each. The last one was...
"C’mon~!! Immediately contain it with the chains!!"
I summoned the Treasury and activated the pulling chains for large items. They dragged in the airship in and stored it. The size of the Treasury’s gate was freely adjustable, so it wasn’t a problem. I also stored large magic tools, so we didn’t have to load all the equipment on other airships. It took about an hour for this one, as it was larger. I might need to increase the horsepower a bit.
What do you think about this chapter?
