I don't want to be a heroic spirit

When she was in school, she was the type of person who was very good at math but could never finish her homework.

When the questions were simple, the students generally scored 130 or 140, but she scored 120.

When the questions were difficult, the classmates generally scored 90 or 100, but she still scored 120.

This result is more stable than her heart rate.

However, Gokawa Shido obviously couldn't understand Melyusina's feelings... But because of the faint sense of oppression emanating from Melyusina, Gokawa Shido didn't dare to say anything more and had to change the subject.

"Lancelot, where were you this morning?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Melusina's sharp gaze shot straight towards Shido Itsuka.

"Why? Do I need to report to you before I go down there?"

"!!!"

Just as Shido Itsuka was about to explain something, he saw Melyuchina's mouth corners suddenly rise slightly.

"Just kidding, I just went to the hospital... Grandma Kuwahara from the shopping street fell downstairs a few days ago and was injured. I immediately sent her to the hospital after I found out. I've been going to the hospital every day to take care of her these past few days."

Another name that is very unfamiliar to Gokawa Shido.

"Lancelot knows so many people... How does she remember so many people?"

Shido Itsuka felt a little curious while also admiring him.

"So, you're going to take care of that Grandma Kuwahara every morning from now on?"

"No, in two or three days, Grandma Kuwahara's son will be back from abroad. I only need to take care of her until then."

"That's it..."

491

Chapter 491 Substitute.

Standing beside a traffic light, Melyuchina was silent for a long time, watching the cars flashing by from time to time, and sighed helplessly.

"They actually asked me about His Majesty Morgan... Could it be that they really think His Majesty Morgan is the Origin Spirit?"

Even though it was a deliberate misunderstanding on her part...

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Only by making something mysterious enough and leaving enough room for imagination can the probability of lies being exposed be reduced.

That’s why the ancients said that if you want to prevent your lies from being exposed, the best way is to just tell the truth.

Recalling the previous conversation with Gokawa Kotori, Melyuchina couldn't help but sigh again.

"I'm really not suited to scams... That kind of thing should be left to professionals, like Boss Hongzhong."

When I was in elementary school, I was a good kid who won the "Honest Boy" award for five consecutive years. By letting such a good kid lie to others, aren't you making things difficult for me?

However, the difficulty of Itsuka Kotori was beyond Melyuchina's expectations. She felt that if she revealed more information, she might be exposed.

So what should you do? Simple, just make the other party mess up.

So, she asked Kotori Itsuka directly at that time.

"Kotori, do you like Shidou?"

For a tsundere, the power of such a straight punch is more terrifying than Abyss's curry stick.

Actually, Melyuchina has another big trick up her sleeve, which is the label that Kotori Itsuka painted black on the Tanabata Festival. If Kotori Itsuka still has a bit of rationality left after this trump card is used, she will [Her Phoenix Feather] change her surname to Itsuka!

It's a pity that she couldn't reveal the trump card because she couldn't explain why she knew about this.

Of course, because she couldn't use the trump card directly, just this one sentence was obviously not powerful enough, so Melyuchina added several more sentences, such as encouraging Kotori Itsuka to go straight to Shido Itsuka and make the matter a fait accompli.

As for the final result... She didn't know whether the matter would become a done deal, but Kotori Itsuka's head was probably cooked and started to steam.

After getting rid of Gokawa Kotori, Melyuchina came outside.

Because she has some things to do next.

For this purpose, she specifically asked Kotori Itsuka for a map that recorded all the islands in the Pacific.

"Let me check, is there still twenty-seven minutes until work?"

Melyuchina glanced at the time, her eyes revealing a hint of seriousness.

"Looks like I have to hurry up..."

Using a spell to conceal her presence, Melyuchina transformed her dress into sky-blue armor and flew straight into the sky.

It was not until they left Tiangong City that Melyuchina lifted the spell and broke through the layers of sound barriers in an instant. In an instant, they crossed the boundary between land and sea and flew all the way to the sky above Taiping.

"Honestly, other than 'it's located on a small island in the Pacific', there's almost no information at all. I have to search bit by bit... It's really troublesome..."

Even as she complained, Melyuchina's expression remained calm.

"But...if Sinmeier knew what had happened to her, he certainly wouldn't have let it go, right? Well...with his showy personality, he certainly wouldn't have missed out on an operation like 'rescuing a girl who's been imprisoned and tortured'...No, can she even be called a girl?"

Although she was talking to herself, Melyusina was able to perform various dazzling and difficult flying maneuvers without being affected while maintaining several times the speed of sound.

The atmosphere was rubbed, squeezed, and exploded, and then was thrown behind by the pale blue meteor like exhaust gas.

……

"Sure enough, it won't be that easy to find?"

Melyuchina inexplicably felt the urge to sigh.

But then she thought...

"Perhaps... that island isn't even recorded on the map? After all, it's such an important research facility, so the level of confidentiality must be extremely high."

"Hmm... If that's the case, then the direction of our search will have to be adjusted... The workload will increase again."

so annoying……

"Lancelot, don't stay at the counter all the time. Go to the front and serve the customers."

"But, Manager, I'm here to cover for Kayoko, who's originally at the counter, because she's on leave. Where else would I go if I weren't at the counter?"

Melyuchina glanced at the store manager beside her and said nonchalantly, "Besides, there are so few customers here, even if I am not there, the waiter up front is enough."

"Don't call me store manager, call me Sister Yamei, otherwise I'll look old."

The store manager, Yamei, put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, it's because there are so few customers that we need you to go to the front, Lancelot. I bet even if you just stand at the door and do nothing, you can still attract a lot of customers... Otherwise, why would I let you wear this? Hurry up! Go, go, go!"

Then, Melyuchina was driven away from the counter by the store manager, Yamei.

"Two customers just came to the store. Please go and entertain them. Remember to be nice to them."

I suspect you're trying to make fun of me, but I have no proof.

When she saw the two customers sitting by the window, Melyuzina's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but she quickly regained her composure and walked over step by step.

"Guest, do you want anything to eat?"

When Melyuchina's words were heard, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they simultaneously cast surprised looks at Melyuchina.

"Lancelot? Why are you here?"

Itsuka Shido, who was talking to Yatogami Tohka just now, turned to look at Melyuchina and said with a look of surprise, "And she's dressed like this..."

Melyuchina appeared in front of Shido Itsuka, wearing a pure black butler tuxedo. Combined with Melyuchina's exquisite facial features and awe-inspiring temperament, she was attractive to both men and women.

"I'm here to cover for Miss Kayoko because she suddenly had something else and couldn't come. I need to cover for her for a day."

Melyuchina pulled at the clothes that were clinging to her body. "As for this outfit, the theme of this shop is maids, but I don't want to dress anyone other than the Master in a maid outfit. Luckily, the shop manager also thinks I shouldn't wear a maid outfit, saying it suits me better than a butler's uniform, so I put it on... But I didn't expect it to be so tight."

"Really? The manager of this store has really good taste. It looks like it would suit you perfectly, Lancelot."

Hearing this, Melyuchina glanced at Gokawa Shido with a strange look.

"You are not a Master, so I will not be happy even if you deliberately praise me."

"I'm not being deliberate. I just really think you look good in this outfit."

Shido Itsuka was not lying. After all, Melyusina's words and deeds were like those of a real knight. Most of the virtues that a knight should have, "humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, mercy, justice, spirit, and honesty" were embodied in Melyusina. After putting on this butler's uniform, she indeed exuded a charm that could attract both men and women.

"Well...it looks like you didn't lie."

Melyuchina stroked her chin and pondered, "Could it be that this is really what suits me best? Hmm... I wish my Master would be happy seeing me like this."

As soon as the words fell, Melyuchina raised her eyebrows.

Simply because, when she addressed the Master, she subconsciously used the third person "she" again.

She was a boy before... Could it be that the image she chose in Chaldea was Gudako?

Hearing Melyuchina talking about the Master again, Shido Itsuka, who knew the "truth", the smile on his face froze for a moment, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"...Well, your Master would definitely be pleased to see you dressed like this."

Then, Shido Itsuka saw Melusina looking at him. After a moment of silence, a faint smile appeared on Melusina's face.

"Really?... It would be nice if I could see Master's happy smile with my own eyes."

It was originally just a simple answer, but to Shido Itsuka it sounded filled with deep regret and sadness.

"Shidou! Shidou! I'm hungry!"

Although she heard the conversation between the two, it was too difficult for Tohka Yatogami to fully understand it. It was not until her stomach made a sound of protest that Tohka Yatogami remembered the most important thing so far.

Yes, the most important thing is to eat! Or rather, to eat enough!

"You shouldn't tell Shidou that you're hungry, you should tell me."

Melyuchina took out a pen and paper and said, "I'm responsible for taking orders. Just tell me what you want to eat."

"Anything is okay!"

“We don’t have kinako bread.”

“Hey~~!”

Are you really planning to order kinako bread? You can find a kinako bread bakery just a short distance away, just turn right.

Melusina still doesn't understand why Tohka Yatogami likes kinako bread so much... After watching "Date A Live", she thought Tohka Yatogami looked so happy when she ate kinako bread, so she tried it on purpose.

Anyway, she thought it was just average, not delicious but not terrible either.

But the pineapple bread tastes pretty good. I tried it because of Shana in "Shakugan no Shana" and fell in love with it... Come to think of it, it seems like I haven't eaten pineapple bread for a long time. If I have time, I'll buy some.

Just eat it the way Shana likes, first take a bite of the crispy part, then a bite of the soft part, then another bite of the crispy part... and repeat this process.

However, after eating pineapple bread for several years, someone suddenly said that Shana actually liked melon bread instead of pineapple bread. They said there was an error in the translation and they also produced various convincing evidence...

Who cares? She just likes pineapple buns.

But, um...if I meet Shana someday, will she feed me pineapple bread or melon bread?

After completing the order for Itsuka Shido and Yatogami Tohka, Melusina walked towards the kitchen.

On the way, she glanced at the names of the dishes on the list.

"Well... I hope everyone in the kitchen is doing well."

She has to be careful. If something happens to those people in the kitchen, she will probably have to take the blame.

As the saying goes, it’s better for me to die than for my friend to die... Anyway, I’m not really dead.

I'm helping them build perseverance! It's for their own good! They'll thank me later!

"Lancelot! Send these to table 7!"

The store manager, Yamei, handed the food to Melyuchina and said, "Table 7 has all girls. Remember to follow my instructions... Whether my store will be a big hit today depends on you, Lancelot!"

"...I don't understand. If a restaurant wants to be a big hit, shouldn't it focus on the taste and appearance of its dishes?"

"Lancelot you are too young."

The restaurant manager, Yamei, raised her index finger and said with a meaningful smile, "In today's society, who would come to a restaurant just to eat? The food is secondary. If you want a restaurant to be popular, it must have a unique feature that is eye-catching enough. Otherwise, why do you think maid cafes are so popular?"

Seeing that Melyuchina was still confused, the store manager Yamei was too lazy to continue.

"Anyway, just listen to me and go! How can a qualified waiter keep customers waiting? Remember to smile!"

"From a common sense perspective, I'm not a real waiter. I'm just a substitute... and I'm forced to be a substitute."

Carrying the tray, she walked towards table 7. On the way, Melyuzina also glanced at the three guests there.

Just as the store manager said, all three of them are women, and they are all young and beautiful female students.
