OVERLORD- CH-57. The Continuation of Misunderstanding
Added 2025-01-29 06:45:03 +0000 UTCInstead, it is a warm feeling that makes you want to sink into it, when you think of spring, the ocean, and your mother.
This feeling is even a little addictive.
Even if it is a monster, it may not be scary, and it may not want to destroy everything. For some reason, this thought came into the girl's mind.
Rather, is a being that exudes this kind of holy vitality really a monster?
The other party had indeed never done anything to hurt her or her mother.
'I hate him, is it just because of the preconceived fear impression?..'
"Lina, to prevent it from falling again, let me help you tighten your belt as much as possible."
"Eh? Okay."
"Then I pulled it."
"Um, wait, ugh!"
Angelina endured the pain and didn't scream out, her teeth almost breaking.
'With such great strength, are you trying to tighten my belt or planning to commit murder? I'm going to be cut in half!'
'I take it back, I still hate him!'

"You guys do some emergency cleaning." Summoning four maids, the head maid Sakuzuki assigned them tasks.
"The key is to clean every corner of the corridor and clear away the dust. Be quick and finish it in less than half an hour."
The task given was to remove spiders that didn't actually exist, but the head maid Sakuzuki treated it as an ordinary cleaning task and assigned it to the maids.
Glancing out the window, she saw a slightly dim half moon rising. Sakuzuki had been directing the maids to set up the dining room and living room since four o'clock in the afternoon, and was then responsible for entertaining the guests. As a result, she had not had dinner yet.
This kind of thing is commonplace for employees of a noble family, and the head maid is used to it.
Generally speaking, in other noble houses, when encountering such a situation, the maids would handle it themselves. Most people would eat something in advance, or eat some dry food with water after dinner, and just get by like that.
However, Operan treated the maids in her house very well. On days like this, she would prepare some midnight snacks for the kitchen so that they could have a hot meal after a busy day.
After leaving the cleaning task to the maids who had not been in charge of preparing the dinner and had already rested, Sakuzuki rubbed her rumbling stomach and decided to go to the kitchen for a midnight snack.
"Oh, you are here too." She was surprised to find that the housekeeper, Lena, was also here. She was chewing bread with a bowl of tomato soup in front of her.
"Head maid, what do you want?" The chef had already gone home after getting off work at this time. The young cook who was brought from his hometown and usually helped in the kitchen took over the kitchen. She lived in the maid dormitory of the Duke's house, so she could stay until very late.
"Two loaves of bread, a bowl of soup, and meat?"
"Yes, I'll heat it up for you."
"It's already late at night, and you're still eating so much." Lena said. She was qualified to attend the dinner, but she got so anxious about Angelina's performance at the table that she had a stomachache and ended up not eating much.
"It's okay, I won't get fat." Sakuzuki said as she sat down opposite Lena. This was the restaurant where the maids and other servants ate. The decoration was much worse than that of the restaurant for entertaining guests, but it was still quite clean and comfortable.
"You adventurers really can do whatever you want." The housekeeper, who is now thirty years old and spends all her energy every day trying to stay in shape, showed an expression of envy.
"I a former adventurer. Among adventurers, there are women who are stronger than men and whose muscles are bigger than rocks and harder than iron." The head maid said.
"Besides, you should envy the Duchess more than me. She is a workaholic who stays up late every day, but she doesn't have wrinkles or spots, her skin doesn't get loose, and she doesn't gain weight or sag."
"She is a 'demonic' type." Lena said, "She never looks old after all these years, and her charm and temperament are getting better day by day. There is no comparison."
"Hehe." Without denying it, the little cook had already brought up the meal. In addition to two pieces of white bread and a bowl of thick soup, there was also a plate of barbecue.
"Speaking of monsters." Without any of the usual elegance and grace of a head maid, Sakuzuki stuffed the bread into her mouth and began to chew.
"Now we have seen someone more evil than the Duchess, that Levi. Of course, the girl he brought with him is also evil, but he himself..."
"That's not a monster, it's a fairy spirit." Lena said. At this moment, she suddenly paused, and her hand holding the wooden bowl stopped in the air. After hesitating for a moment, she put it down.
"Speaking of Mr. Levi, Sakuzuki."
"What's wrong?"
"Do you think our master might be interested in him..."
To be honest, this kind of gossip might be a bit presumptuous, but in Lena's opinion, Operan seemed to have some abnormal feelings for the boy.
"Hmm?" Sakuzuki was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and said, "Oh, I can see that she really cares about that boy." She said but thinking about Angelina.
"I don't think this is a good idea." Lena said in a somewhat conflicted tone and thought, 'The Duchess, who is already a mother and has been widowed for six years, actually fell in love with a young boy. Is such a relationship really good?'
"I think it's great, they are a perfect match." Sakuzuki said and thought, 'Angelina is very beautiful and has big breasts, and the boy is also very handsome and very capable.'
"Eh? Suitable? Don't you care? What about age?" Lena said in surprise, somewhat frightened by the other party's point of view.
"Age, this age is just right." Sakuzuki said and thought, 'What a strange question. Angelina is fifteen years old, and the boy is only about seventeen years old at most, isn't it just right?'
Lena thought about it for a moment and felt that what the head maid said was not entirely unreasonable. A woman's sexual needs are strongest when she reaches the age of 30, while a man's most energetic period is in his teens and early twenties.
When dry wood meets fire, the compatibility may be unexpectedly high. It is better to say that her peers in their thirties may not be able to satisfy the Duchess, who is like a walking pheromone.
"Do you think you must marry a noble who is of equal status?" Sakuzuki continued. She did not think that she was not worthy of Angelina as a teenager, "And judging from Levi's behavior, he should also be of noble birth."
'It's not a question of who to marry, is it? Have you considered whether the Duchess will remarry? This person is too bold.' Lena's impression of the head maid has changed a little.
"And think about it, if you were put in this situation and you met a boy who was so handsome, so gentle, and so strong, would you be moved?" Sakuzuki said while still a little angry.
'Damn, why didn't I meet a boy like this when I was fifteen!' Sakuzuki thought.
"This…" Lena's relationship with her husband was average, but it seemed rude to imagine his death without her permission. However, she felt that what Sakuzuki said made some sense.
Her husband died young, and the Duchess had struggled alone in the power arena for six years. Her heart must have been cold and exhausted, and she had lost all hope. But at this moment, she suddenly encountered a ray of sunshine.
"Other people's views..."
"Why do you care about those things? Those who gossip, can they beat Levi, or threaten the power of our master?" Sakuzuki snorted coldly.
It is true that there are some idiot nobles who think it is shameful for their children to marry adventurers, but in fact, the financial resources and status of top adventurers are even higher than those self-righteous nobles.
"Is that so?" It seemed to make sense. It would be better to say that if such a strong adventurer joined, the Duke's position would be more secure.
