Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

42 – Cold (2)

Europe couldn’t leave her side because she was worried about Sirius, who was groaning throughout her sleep like in the carriage.

He said he had a nightmare but didn’t remember it, but he passed it on, but he calmed down Sirius, who was shivering, perhaps from a cold or from a nightmare, by stroking his cheek.

“…Lady…I’m fine now…”

Perhaps it was because she had been touching her for a long time, her hand followed Sirius, who was about to fall into her hand with her slightly bulging face.

“He’s still feverish. He’s shaking.”

“You’ve got to do some errands, too. It might be lunchtime already.”

Growl.

“Look, you can hear the sound coming from your stomach. You should go get something to eat.”

Hearing that he had collapsed, she skipped breakfast and ran around on tabi giving orders to the servants. When her stomach clamored for food, she bit her mouth shut.

Seeing the butler trying to make fun of him without even knowing the owner’s heart, I punched his belly covered with a blanket in annoyance for no reason.

“Oops!”

“Sure. The boat reminds me to eat lunch.”

She got up from her bed and went back without looking behind her, but stopped and came back to him. She looked at Sirius, who was also cowering in fear of what she might do, and she tapped his forehead with her finger.

“If you get sick again, I’ll fire you…”

I couldn’t answer right away, so after a moment of silence, the words from my dream that I said would get worse kept lingering in my head, and I only answered with a bitter smile.

“…I’ll be careful.”

For fear that his body might become more serious than this, and that he would lose control of himself due to the scent of the young lady, he only uttered flimsy words.

Still, as if she was satisfied with her answer, Rui Tena approached her smiling and called her.

“Lady.”

It was Europa who sat down on her bed, surprised by her approaching quietly and finding herself without the sound of her footsteps.

“Why…Why?”

“If you don’t leave soon, the butler might find you…”

At the request of Luitena, who was restless and full of worries, she sighed, and when she saw Sirius, she made an expression that seemed to be relieved.

“Go quickly. If the butler finds out, even though I am a patient, I might be beaten to death.”

“Okay. Okay. I’m going, so get some rest.”

“I can’t go far.”

“Poohyo, what are you really saying…”

In the end, Sirius, who had succeeded in making her laugh, closed her eyes as she laid her body down in a gesture of relaxation as if satisfied. No, he pretended to close his eyes.

I was afraid that if I closed my eyes and fell asleep, I would have that dream again, so I watched with narrow eyes until my owner left the room.

Europe thought he had fallen asleep from exhaustion and hurried out.

“…Luitena, do you know of any foods that are good for colds?”

Before closing the door and stepping into the dining room to fill her still empty stomach, Europa turned her head towards her Rui Tena and asked, and she nodded her head naturally. Was

“Of course I know. Shall I talk to the chef and bring it to Sirius?”

“That…I want to make it…”

Europe’s ears turned red as she hesitantly looked straight ahead. Louis Tena, who smiled silently at that appearance, cleared her expression and answered her question.

“Then let’s eat lunch and talk to the chef to rent the kitchen. I’ll help you. I can be proud of the taste because I learned a skill from the owner.”

“I’ll believe it. Then let’s go.”

Louis Thena tapped her chest and assured her, thinking she had no choice but to believe it, she headed to her restaurant with her ladies’ maid.

On the other hand, not long after the two left, Sirius opened his eyes and slowly raised his upper body to look at himself. The hot heat from my body and the winter blankets that didn’t match the season made my upper body, wearing only a shirt, drenched in sweat and feeling uncomfortable.

When he removed the blanket to change his clothes, he felt the heat rise and he endured his dizziness as he moved toward the closet.

With every step he took, his body staggered and his sense of balance endured the feeling of balancing himself, and he was different in his wardrobe.

“They said it would get worse, is it already like this…”

He took off his shirt, pulled out a spare towel from his closet, and wiped himself with fatigue and lethargy. Every time he moved his arm, his whole body staggered, and the towel was as heavy as a thousand pounds, but he managed to wipe himself off and change his clothes. He returned to the bed with a heavy breath and lay down on a place that was not wet by his own sweat as much as possible and looked up at the ceiling. Looked up

“Is it this hard… It’s too much…”

If you accepted that, what would it look like? Wouldn’t he have woken up, tore off the scruff of Europa’s neck, and drank her blood? Or rather, nothing would have happened. Either that or…

His head hurt from deep thought and his eyes slowly began to close. When his body hurts, he also tends to sleep a lot, so when he became sleepy just lying down, he hurriedly got up from his seat and tried to sit cross-legged.

He struggled to get rid of his thoughts and drive away sleep through meditation, but he fell asleep and rocked his body back and forth.

After lunch, the two asked Ramden’s understanding and were able to use the corner of the kitchen. When some of the servants gathered to watch the news that the lady was cooking, it was Ramden who kicked everyone out saying that he was crazy.

“Seriously, I don’t know why so many people come here because they think something is strange. They always bring the ingredients they need and let me know if you need any help.”

“Thank you, chef. But Ruytena will help you, so it should be fine.”

“Hmm… Is that so? Louis Tena, can you tell me what food she eats?”

“Ah, if that’s the case…”

As Luytenna whispered in Ramden’s ear and talked so that it wouldn’t go into Europa’s ears, Ramden’s expression changed moment by moment, and at the end, he exclaimed.

“It’s harder to eat than I thought, but it’s easy to cook.”

“Isn’t it? When I caught a cold once, the hostess did it for me, so I remember it.”

“Can you tell me where the lady is? She’s very interested in food.”

“He lives in an inn called ‘Where the Cow Sleeps’ on our estate.”

“…So, Luitena, will you teach me or not?”

Ruytenna hurriedly brought the ingredients as Europa, with a disgruntled look on her face, intervened between the two engrossed in food talk.

“I’m going to chop the garlic first. Stand at an angle so that it’s comfortable to hold the knife, and hold the non-knife like a cat and cut as close to the knife as possible.”

Louie Tena, demonstrating her, sliced up some of her garlic cloves and handed her a knife. Unlike the baguette bread she had cut while helping Sirius with Gambas the other day, Europa cut his fingers a little bit because he was holding the knife too much while holding his trembling hands tightly in his trembling hands.

“Aww…”

“Are you okay!?”

She hurriedly brought the potions and bandages that she had prepared in advance, just in case, and examined her cut fingers. Seeing her scarring wounds, which were not deep, but she hadn’t prescribed them right away, she said as Louis Thena slowly applied her potion to her wounds, she said.

“You put too much force into it. When slicing, such light ingredients can be cut well without much force, so relax your shoulders and trim with a light mind.”

“…I’ll be careful…”

Europe frowned as the cold potion seeped into her cut. She was accustomed to applying the potion through her training, but she still hadn’t adapted to applying it.

“Okay, let’s try slicing again. As I said before, you can relax her shoulders and trim the ingredients.”

She cut off a bit of her bandage and covered her wound neatly, and cheered by holding Europa’s hand tightly.

“It’s hard to adapt because the knife is small…”

She smiled at Europa’s grumbling face, slightly sullen, and handed her the sword back.

“You’ll get used to it in no time.”

Europe, who was cutting the garlic again, unlike Ruitena’s horse, was able to cut it all after cutting it three or four times while trimming it. As his hands were covered in thin bandages, Europa sighed and shook his head.

“I guess I’m not very good at cooking.”

“No. If cutting is a little difficult, let’s try something else.”

Since then, when she was cutting other ingredients, she almost hurt her hands several times, but Louis Tena actively blocked her, so the wounds did not increase any more.

She doesn’t even know how to cook, and she was famous for Yori-chi in her original work. She couldn’t cook perfectly in just one day, but she had a lady’s maid clinging to her side.

“If it takes 10 minutes on low heat… Wouldn’t it take 2 minutes on high heat?”

“Then the ingredients will burn before they’re cooked, right?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have butter and no olive oil?”

“That will make the ingredients stiff.”

“…Without the wine…”

“The smell of meat and the lack of fat can’t be removed, so the taste is lost.”

Louie Tena pointed out the unique problems of her culinary skills one by one, and after many twists and turns, she completed a beef stew with lots of garlic.

“Well done, lady!”

Actually, more than half of her was Louis Tena’s, but considering her first cooking and helping her by talking to her, she made it feel like Europe did it.

She looked back and forth at the dish she made, her eyes twinkling with pride at the praise.

“…Is this really what I made?”

“Sure~. Everything was made by the young lady~.”

Praise made the whale dance, and Europa danced too.

“Thank you so much, Ruitena.”

“It’s my job.”

She finished her cooking in an hour, but took two hours to finish it. Seeing Ruy Thena sticking to her end, Europa saw that the walls in her heart were gradually breaking down.

“Then I’ll go get it.”

“Yes, come home.”

Watching him run to his room, putting it in her bowl and even humming to her, Louis Thena took out a ladle of beef stew, put it on her plate, and said to Ramden.

“Chef, is there any bread here?”

“There’s no way. Give me a plate too.”

In the kitchen, two people with warm smiles began to share bread and stew.

Oh damn. I tried not to sleep, but in the end my body couldn’t stand it. Seeing him sitting in front of me made me feel annoyance rather than fear.

“It can’t be avoided?”

“If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it?”

I could now move my body freely, as if I had adapted to this dream. We sat down and looked at each other at eye level. His face did not reveal the regret, lamentation, or stupidity that had been seen before.

It was a slightly sad face. When I touched it, I smiled at the face that looked like it would cry.

“They told me to accept it while threatening them before, but they seem to have changed their strategy.”

“…Darkness will come. Darker than ever, pitch black.”

“Dark…?”

Darkness. Chills ran down my spine when the word for the demon king, who is the opposite of the sun, moon, and stars, and who will cover the world in black, came out.

“When are you coming?”

“Soon. So you have to accept it.”

“Does it mean a lot because I accepted it?”

“Yes, it makes sense.”

It would be nice if you could at least explain the connection between darkness and what you accept. Annoyance gradually turned to resentment, and my voice grew louder and louder.

“Either explain it to me a little bit to make it acceptable to me, or tell me what benefits I will get from accepting it. Or, if you do accept it, give me a guarantee that I won’t endanger the girl’s life.”

“…It doesn’t matter.”

“…Don’t bullsh*t. You kept threatening to accept it and then shoveling that sweet blood right under my nose.”

I growled and he shook his head with a determined expression.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“What the hell!”

He jumped up and glared at him, but his heart sank as he saw bloody tears falling from his eyes. No, he must have made it feel like a rock. Undaunted, I watched what he had to say.

From noble mtl dot com

“…Take it and you’ll find out.”

“f*ck this!”

I just told him to accept it like a dodol-i-pyo, and he couldn’t stand my tantrum and kicked him while he was sitting there. After flying about 10m, he stood up and spoke again.

“…You don’t take it too seriously. Then I have an idea.”

As he raised one arm, a bright red wave rushed from his back. I took a deep breath and rushed at him in an attempt to somehow accept that much blood from me.

“You’re supposed to come to terms with it. This is what you brought on yourself.”

With his words, bright red waves rushed all around me. I moved my feet busily to hit one more, but I was swept away by the waves and lost consciousness even in my dream without being able to do anything.

When I came to my senses, I was lying on my stomach in a position as if I was attacking the body of a young lady lying on the bed.

And along with the sharp teeth marks near the girl’s neck and the little blood flowing, I felt a sweet taste on my tongue that was incomparable to anything in my mouth.

…It was the smell and taste that I had smelled in my dreams and had tasted someday.
