Chapter 621: What Kind Of Training Are They Going Through?
Ummm... I don't even know why she fainted like that... Even her sister was completely surprised to see Crystal topple over like that.
She would have crashed to the floor had I not reached forward and grabbed her hand before she did, pulling her up to lean against me.
"What... What happened to sister?" She asked.
I shrugged, "I'm not sure... I just told her about her family's situation and what happened just now before she just collapsed like that."
"My... My apologies... But I wasn't really listening to the last part earlier... What did you... I mean... What did Mistress tell sister?"
"Hmm? I just said that there might be a traitor in your family because someone is preventing her messages from reaching them and they tried to attack me."
Talli's eyes went wide and then... She fainted too.
Oh what the heck?!
I managed to catch her in time as well but why the hell are they even fainting like that? Was it the fact that they have a traitor or something?
I was just about to call for help when Crystal suddenly jerked awake, the girl scrambling to her feet despite still looking a little out of sorts.
"What... Ugh... What happened?" She mumbled, reaching out her hand to grab something to stabilise herself.
Well, that something ended up being my boob but I didn't push her away since this was not done on purpose.
It took her a moment more before she realised what she was doing and she quickly scrambled away from me while apologising profusely.
"My apologies Mistress!! Please forgive my impudence!!"
I giggled, "Ahaha~ It's fine. I know it was just an accident. Besides, it's not like I will complain about a pretty girl touching my boobs after all."
"Eh? I mean... Thank you for your benevolence, Mistress!"
Not sure why but she seems to be treating this quite seriously.
Anyway, I decided to just ask her why she reacted like that.
"So why did you faint?"
She looked at me with a confused gaze, "I... Fainted?"
"Yeah, right over there after I told you about your family."
"That... Wasn't a dream? Wait... This is a dream too, right?"
"Err... Sorry but this is real life, this isn't a fantasy."
"My family... Actually attacked the Young Mistress of the Nilm Family? No, no, no... This must be a mistake... They couldn't have... What are they going to do to them?"
Err... What is she mumbling over there about?
"Crystal? Are you alright?" I called out to her.
She actually jumped before she suddenly fell to her knees, "Mistress! Please understand that my family was misled!! If I had managed to get the message out to them, they definitely would not have attacked you! You must believe me!"
Eh? Why does she look so desperate?
I patted her on the head, "Relax, I know. I can tell that your family really cares about you which is why they did what they did. Besides, it's all just a misunderstanding anyway, no big deal."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
I seriously don't think it's that big of a deal but you're welcome?
I clapped my hands together, "It's alright, I won't be the one doing the actual cleaning. Eins?"
My Shadow Guard appeared before me and then proceeded to start sweeping up the floor with the broom that Talli had brought over earlier without hesitation.
Talli and Crystal were looking at Eins in shock, their bodies practically frozen in place.
"Mistress... Who is that?" Crystal asked.
"Ah, this is Eins. She's my Shadow Guard."
"What's a... Shadow Guard?"
I placed a finger on my lips, "This needs to stay hush hush, ok? You can't tell this to anyone else."
The two girls nodded.
"I came across an artefact that changed the way my Shadow Summon spell works and now I can summon Shadow Guards like her who possess all my skills and are capable of independent thought."
Crystal gasped, "No way! Does that mean you are capable of the legendary Shadow Duplication Technique?! This is amazing!!"
She stepped forward, her eyes sparkling as she inspected Eins from head to toe and was even marvelling at how she was working.
That was until Vehyia entered and gave her a smack on the back of the head.
"What are you doing?! Our Young Mistress had asked for dinner almost half an hour ago! Do you even have time to be wasting right now?!"
"N... No, Senior Trainer Vehyia!"
"Then get back to work!!"
"Yes, Senior Trainer Vehyia!!"
It really looked like she's going through boot camp or something similar...
Eins quickly finished up and I decided that perhaps me being here wasn't a good idea since I seem to be distracting her anyway. Thus I just told them that I would just wait outside and to call me when they were done.
Yes, I was a little bit hungry but it wasn't to the point that I was starving so I could wait a little while more.
The other reason I wanted to leave was because I felt the rest of my Shadow Guards' presence which meant that they had just arrived with our new captives.
When I went outside, I found Dehyia already there directing my Shadow Guards towards the back of the manor where they were transferring the ninja wannabes down some stairs and into the basement.
All of them were still unconscious so there was no fuss involved.
Dehyia quickly noticed my presence and came up to me, "Young Mistress. Is something the matter?"
"Eh? Not at all. Is everything alright here?"
"Quite so, Young Mistress. Thank you for bringing them to the back of the manor Young Mistress. We shall begin the questioning as soon as they are secured."
"Ah... Err... Don't be too hard on them, ok? This was all just caused by a misunderstanding so if we could figure out who might be trying to sabotage Crystal,. That would be good enough."
"As you wish, Young Mistress. Although I have to ask if we would be allowed to bring Crystal and her sister over should there be a need to?"
"Eh? Of course you can? Aren't you their trainers anyway?"
"That is correct, but they serve under you directly, Young Mistress. We would not dare to presume we have the authority over them outside of training.
You girls are really too serious...
Maybe that's why Crystal and Talli are like that?
Hmm... Perhaps I could go watch their training sometime...
