“““Haa… haa… haa…”””
“Alright, that’s enough for today. Let’s have breakfast.”
With everyone thoroughly knocked down by Emilia-sama, the morning’s training finally came to an end.
Sue, Casey-san, and Telma-san were on their knees, gasping for breath. Meanwhile, despite sparring with every single one of us, Emilia-sama wasn’t even sweating—her breathing perfectly steady.
“Kyahaha!”
“““Wait up!”””
Shiro, the others, and Ao—who had already finished their turns earlier—were now playing a game of tag with Kent-chan. At least they looked like they were having fun. Then again, being a beastkin, Kent-chan was surprisingly quick on his feet.
“Today, I’d like everyone to help organize some documents. A certain someone has let quite a backlog pile up.”
“Guk—”
During breakfast, Emilia-sama explained our plans for the day.
The Margrave—who had been knocked unconscious by her yesterday—turned pale all over again. At this rate, it was easy to imagine mountains of paperwork waiting for us.
“Huh? What about Shiro?”
“Shiro, Fran, and Horn will be helping me and Ken-chan with a different task.”
““““Oka~y!””””
It seemed Shiro and the others were going to do something with Emilia-sama, but I had a feeling it was better not to ask too deeply. Ao would be joining Shiro’s group as well.
Just then, Emilia-sama turned to me again.
“Shun, if the Margrave tries to slack off, feel free to hit him with lightning. He’s sturdy, so make it a strong one.”
“Hey, hey, that’s going a bit far, don’t you think!?”
“““Ahaha….”””
Sue and the others let out awkward laughs at Emilia-sama’s completely unhesitating demand.
As for me, I could only silently pray that I wouldn’t actually have to shock the Margrave.
And so, we headed straight for the Margrave’s office together.
Bang.
“M-Margrave sir, what exactly is the meaning of this?”
“Hahaha. I wonder what indeed!”
“Shun, do it.”
“W-wait just a—”
BZZZT—!!
“GYAAH!”
The moment we stepped into the Margrave’s office, there it was—a mountain of documents piled high on the desk, as if defying gravity itself. A surge of irritation hit Emilia-sama, and with her command, I unleashed a bolt of electricity at the Margrave.
“Daaad, that’s so uncool!”
“Ugh…”
Kent-chan poked at the Margrave as he lay there, still twitching from the shock.
It’s a really uncool looking at an adult sprawled on the floor in the least dignified way possible.
“Alright then, I’ll leave the rest to you. Ah, don’t worry—he’ll need occasional tea breaks to recover properly, but the butler will handle that.”
“Shun-oniichan, I’m off!”
“““We’re going too!”””
Having said her piece, Emilia-sama promptly left the office with Shiro and the others in tow.…And just like that, I was left staring at what felt very much like a high-difficulty mission in human form.
