Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 8 Rumours

?Over the next few days, my life just went like this.

Because I was Madame Rose's belonging, no one tried to do anything to me and I was just allowed to laze around all day.

Of course, there was always plenty for me to do at nights.

Madame Rose...really was insatiable.

However, since I received the special treatment from Madame Rose, it was hard for others not to be jealous. So it was hard for me to talk to anyone else in this manor since they all avoided me.

Most of the time, they even looked at me with eyes filled with disdain.

It wasn't hard to guess what these maids and butlers were thinking, but I just ignored them.

What was on my mind was something completely different.

I knew that something bad was about to happen to this place, so I still had to find a way out.

I was currently living a good life because of Madame Rose's favour, but that wouldn't last long.

So I decided to move around the manor in my free time.

I wasn't able to find much, but I was able to hear a few interesting rumours.

"Did you hear? The monsters have been more active lately. There are even rumours that a monster wave will be coming to this city soon."

"Really? Where did you hear that?"

"My husband is in the guards. He said that they were holding extra training sessions and sending out extra patrols into the forest lately."

When I heard this, I couldn't help piquing my ears.

These two maids had ignored me when they came into the library where I was reading and had started gossiping on their own.

I had ignored them at first, but then I couldn't help paying attention when I heard this.

After all, I knew how this would end.

That monster wave would come and it would destroy the entire city. Now that there were signs of it, I knew that I didn't have long before it came.

So I couldn't help listening more carefully to the two of them.

"Did your husband say if they found anything yet?"

The first maid shook her head before saying in a mysterious voice, "They haven't found traces of the monsters, but they have found traces of something else."

The second maid revealed a confused look before asking, "What?"

The first maid looked around herself as if she was worried about something before coming in closer to say, "They found traces of demons."

Demons, that was one of the key elements in the plot of this H-game.

Since this was a game that was based in a medieval fantasy world, demons naturally existed here. There were also many different fantasy races such as elves and such that were also here.

The demons were related to one of the main storylines that players could follow.

It was a storyline about fighting the demons that were trying to take over the world.

It was a storyline that was filled with danger and it also had a terrible ending, so most people didn't do it. It was only done when people had wanted a challenge, which is what I did.

So I had a good idea of where the demons would show up, but I never remembered any mention of the demons in the tutorial scenario.

Could it be that there was something that even I, the completionist, had missed?

I couldn't help thinking about how I had always been excited when I found all kinds of new things while playing, but at the same time, I also felt a bit worried since that meant that I didn't know what the best move was.

If the demons really were involved, this had become much more complicated.

"Demons!" The second maid shouted out.

The first maid immediately waved her hand for her to keep quiet before looking around them. Only after making sure that there was no one there, she said in a cryptic, "That's not all..."

The second maid didn't say anything as she waited for the first maid to continue.

But in the end, the first maid stopped what she had been about to say.

She even turned in my direction, so I quickly put my head into the book that I had been reading.

It was a good thing that she didn't look too carefully or she would have noticed that the book was upside down in the first place.

After that, the two maids finished up their cleaning and headed out.

After they left, I couldn't help wondering what the first maid was about to say.

It was clear that it was something important with how cautious she was being, but she didn't say it in the end.

After hearing all of this, I really wasn't in the mood to keep reading. There were many things that I had to plan out after hearing the news of the demon and this place wasn't a good place for that.

So I headed back to the room that Madame Rose prepared for me.

But on the way, I heard another piece of information.

It was from two butlers who were discussing things in the hall.

I had been about to pass by when I heard them talking, so I hid myself around the corner and eavesdropped on them.

"You're saying that the Lord Baron hasn't sent a request to the capital for help with the beast waves?"

"What? Those monsters are already on their way and the Lord Baron hasn't sent a request for reinforcements? Does he really think that we'll be able to take care of all those monsters by our..."

Before he could finish with his agitated rant, the first butler covered his mouth and made a gesture to be quiet.

The second butler realized his mistake and gave a nod to show that he was calm. When the first butler took his hand off, the second butler said in a more calm voice, "Does the Lord Baron want all of us to die?"

The first butler was silent for a bit before shaking his head, "The Lord Baron has his own plans, he won't let us all die."

The second butler didn't look convinced as he said, "How can you be so sure?"

The first butler looked like he was hesitating a bit before saying with a sigh, "Do you want to know the real reason why the Lord Baron hasn't requested reinforcements?"

The second butler was caught off guard by this sudden question. After looking at the first butler in a daze for a few seconds, he responded with a nod.

The first butler looked around before saying, "It's related to Madame Rose."

"Madame Rose?" The second butler asked with a confused look.

The first butler hesitated for a bit before saying, "They've found traces of Madame Rose being involved in the beast wave."

The second butler was about to shout out again, but the first butler was ready this time and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand. Only when he saw that the second butler had calmed down did he release his hand again.

The second butler looked around after this before saying, "You're saying that Madame Rose is related to the beast wave? How could that be possible?"

The first butler shook his head and said, "This isn't something that we need to involve ourselves with. It is the Lord Baron's matter." His voice was very serious when he said this.

The second butler understood what he meant by this and the two of them quickly headed off.

I just stood there in a daze as I couldn't process what I had just heard.

Madame Rose was involved in the beast wave?

This was something that I had never heard of before in the game.
