I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

"Because I never intended to be a bad person."

In the video footage, the head butler, Krabatel, speaks to the wealthy butler, Merry.

"The head butler has such a great attitude; he's so broad-minded to think like that."

"A great man does not hold a grudge against a petty person; a prime minister's belly can hold a boat."

"I originally thought I should give the head butler a good talking-to and tell him not to pay any attention to that long-nosed guy."

"How is this a rumor spread against you?"

"Now it seems that I don't need to persuade him at all; the head steward has thought it through so clearly himself."

"The assistant housekeeper, Meili, looked at the head housekeeper and said."

"It's like the saying goes, 'If you're upright, you have nothing to fear.'"

"I haven't done anything wrong, so I don't need to worry about that guy slandering me at all."

“You see, even the young lady doesn’t believe what he says, let alone the villagers.”

"So there's absolutely no need to take such a trivial matter to heart; it's just a joke."

"Krabatel said."

...private.

Chapter 703 Kill him tonight!

　"I admire you so much, I really admire the head butler's magnanimity."

"However, the young lady seemed to be in a bad mood and very tired today, so after dinner she said she was going to go to bed early."

"Should the head steward go and visit him again?"

The assistant butler, Mei Li, coughed lightly, and then spoke in a serious tone.

"There's no need for that. I have absolute faith in the assistant butler, Melly, so you'll definitely take good care of Miss."

"Since he feels very tired today, let him get some rest."

"After all, the young lady has never encountered anything like this before. Her body is too weak; she is practically a frail and delicate person."

"I never imagined that the young lady would be so frail at such a young age. The master and madam are also very weak."

"To leave the young lady behind so early, it makes me feel so sorry for her."

"Krabatel said."

"Yes, actually we servants also find it very strange."

"If we're talking about who came here earlier, I'm one of the earlier ones."

"Back then, the master and mistress were in really good health, and the master often liked to travel."

"I often enjoy morning exercise, and my body is really strong, like a bull."

"Grandpa especially loved playing golf, and my wife was also a woman who loved exercising."

"When they were young, they were really healthy; you couldn't tell they were frail at all."

"But for some reason, the master and mistress's health gradually weakened."

"It even collapsed completely in the end."

"We servants really can't understand it. We never expected that the master and mistress's health would decline so quickly."

"This is what the assistant housekeeper, Meili, said to herself."

The head butler, Krabatel, was startled when he heard the deputy butler, Melly, say such a thing.

It turns out that these guys had also carefully observed the changes in the master and mistress's health over the years.

Little did they know that the master and mistress's rapidly declining health was entirely due to their presence... because they had poisoned their food.

Let them die slowly from poisoning.

That's why I felt their health deteriorated so quickly.

I thought I had done this perfectly, without anyone noticing, but I never expected it.

The meticulous assistant butler actually discovered the flaw, but fortunately, they had no idea that he was the one who had done it.

They had no idea that the master and mistress had poisoned them themselves, causing them to slowly die from poisoning. Everyone assumed that they had died of illness due to health problems.

It seems this guy can't be allowed to live. We have to take him down tonight no matter what.

The head butler, Krabatel, glanced at the deputy butler, Melly, and a murderous intent immediately arose in his heart.

You must never let anyone know what kind of person you used to be.

And absolutely no one should be allowed to know about the changes in the master and mistress's health over the years, or even the changes in the eldest daughter's health.

To this day, the head butler, Krabatel, continues to feed the young lady his slow-acting poison, making her body increasingly weak.

Tonight...

Chapter 704 Still going to fabricate such a lie? Foolish!

We absolutely cannot let this assistant housekeeper, Mary, live to see tomorrow morning.

The head butler, Krabatel, had made up his mind to kill the deputy butler tonight. Melie absolutely could not let him spread what he had just said.

We must not let those foolish people on the island know that they killed the master and mistress.

Captain Crowe decided to kill someone to silence them, and the first person he wanted to kill was his assistant butler, Mary.

The head butler, Krabatel, forcefully ripped off the tie from his neck.

The irritability in his heart made him feel unbearably hot all over.

"It's such a pity."

"I only spent a little time going to the next town, and yet the young lady was so frightened that this happened."

"I am truly sorry, Miss. From now on, if I need to go out to handle any matters..."

"I hope that the assistant butler, Melly, can go out and do these things for me, so that I can properly protect the young lady."

"I will never allow anyone to touch Miss again, and I will never allow anyone to hurt Miss again."

"The young lady's body cannot withstand such a shock."

"That's what the head butler, Krabatel, said."

"This is so touching, so touching! The head butler is always thinking about the young lady, it really moves me."

"We are truly ashamed of ourselves."

"Don't worry."

"If there are any more errands like this in the future, just give the order and let us servants do them."

"The head butler will stay by the young lady's side and take good care of her daily life."

"I'm so touched," said the assistant housekeeper, Mei Li.

"Of course, I will absolutely not allow anyone to get close to Miss."

"Not even a cockroach or a mosquito can be allowed to bother the young lady."

"That's what the head butler, Krabatel, said."

His tone was noticeably more agitated and uneasy than before, and a burning desire began to fill his entire body.

"It makes me feel so safe. Having the head butler by the young lady's side makes me feel so secure."

"That young man named Usopp is really a handful. I wonder if he will continue to harass the young lady in the future."

"I don't think he'll give up. Given the chance, he'll definitely keep bothering Miss."

"But from now on, if the head butler stays by the young lady's side at all times, even if that young man wants to harass her, he will have absolutely no chance."

"I'm so touched," said the assistant housekeeper, Meili.

"As long as I am in this villa, I will absolutely not allow anyone to harm Miss."

... ...

“Especially those despicable pirates, I will absolutely not allow them to come near this villa.”

"That's what the head butler, Krabatel, said."

"It's so touching. Hearing the head butler say such things is truly moving."

"If the young lady heard these words, she would definitely be moved to tears."

"That young man named Usopp is a complete fraud. He even claimed that you were a pirate. It's ridiculous."

“Even if none of us believe what he says, he still has to make up such lies.”

"That guy really has no brains at all, he's incredibly stupid."

The assistant butler, Meili, narrowed her eyes slightly, and then she spoke again.

...scholar.

Chapter 705 Perhaps good fortune will come to those who are destined for good fortune?

　"Usopp isn't stupid at all."

"If we're talking about stupidity, you yourselves are the truly stupid ones."

“They overheard Captain Crowe’s plan on the beach and kindly came to tell you, wanting to get you out of this den of wolves and tigers.”

"But you didn't appreciate it, you even injured them, and now you're saying they're stupid."

"Usopp really meant well but was completely misunderstood and treated like a fool."

Even if the villagers misunderstand, even if the young lady misunderstands.

"But Usopp has no intention of giving up and wants to save you all by himself."

"I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Usopp."

"Is such a fool really worth Usopp risking his life to protect?"

Naruto Uzumaki heard the assistant butler Merry on the screen say that Usopp was an extremely stupid guy, and he said indignantly from below.
