Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

53 – Holiday in the North

I spent the whole day watching over a girl who fell asleep drunk. When she woke up, she even prepared water for her to drink at any time, but she did not wake up even after the sun had set and it was night.

It was too dark to turn off the luminescent crystal because of the slender crescent moon, so I lit a small candle. As I sat down watching the young lady sleep soundly, I suddenly fell asleep. Even though it’s night this time, why are you coming…

The eyelids are said to be invincible even in the world, and they have fallen beyond consciousness.

“You still haven’t accepted everything.”

My eyes were opened at the neutral and beautiful voice I heard for the first time. In the space I always saw in my dreams, a person I hadn’t seen came into my eyes. A man or woman with an indistinguishable appearance, long black hair, and a sky-high outfit, had a disapproving expression on his face.

“Who are you?”

It was the first time I saw it, but I was wary of the unapproachable atmosphere. Thinking of killing him, I raised my hands and took a posture.

“Really, you are a child who listens to words.”

“Who are you, I asked.”

They met eyes with a pathetic expression. An indescribable chill came from her eyes of unknown depth and gave strength to her feet with the momentum to rush at them at any time. Seeing me like that, I sighed deeply.

“It’s not the time to talk yet. I’ll come back later, so prepare yourself for a conversation.”

“So who…”

Before he could finish his words, he approached right in front of me and tapped my forehead. When the young lady got up, she was standing next to him, cowering as if in surprise.

“…Miss? When did you wake up?”

“Uh, um, just…”

Did you try to play a joke while I was sleeping? He tugged at his long loose hair and couldn’t make eye contact. I have to say something to say that you are trying to play a joke as soon as you wake up drunk.

“Seriously, what if I drink my first drink like that?”

“That must have been alcohol…I’ll be careful next time…”

I asked if the film was cut when I saw a young lady who looked calm compared to a drunk and riotous person.

“…You don’t remember the young lady after drinking, do you?”

“Haven’t I been sleeping…?”

“No, he kept sleeping.”

I flinched because I couldn’t remember. I lied to cover up the uncomfortable truth, but I couldn’t see the lady’s eyes. It was the exact opposite situation.

“You lie again!”

“Oops!”

I’ll just tell you everything…!

I sat down screaming at the calf that had been hit again. I was worried that I would crawl out after a while from the lady’s low kick, which was stronger than before.

…But wouldn’t it have been correct if I had told the truth?

I had to fall in love with the vicious Lee Ji-Seonda, like the Jump A of a fighting game character.

The next day, early in the morning, Mr. Alte apologized to the lady for drinking. The lady accepted the apology and her face turned red. I’m sure you don’t remember what happened after drinking yesterday, right? My head tilted.

After that, we started sightseeing in the north as usual.

Uncle Gillian, who suffered from back pain, went to appreciate the efficacy of hot springs and saunas, which are famous in the north, as if the pain had worsened.

I … Was running around the village, starting with the castle, with Laland and his warriors early in the morning. Even in the chilly weather, it was a thrill to see them running around without a top at all.

“They say they run so well, kid, can you run all the way in that outfit!”

As I was running alone wearing a tailcoat, a person in the back shouted. I turned around to see who was calling. I remembered the face when a man with colorful tattoos laughed playfully over his bulging muscles.

You drag me to the end even if I search.

I made that promise and ran around looking forward again. Laland, who was next to me, seemed to have noticed what I was about to do and started running slightly away. He smiled slightly at the sight.

“Gongja-nim, let’s go back to normal soon, shall we?”

“…Already?”

In less than 30 minutes of running, my eyes shook at the news that I was posting at the pace I used to run at the academy. Why? Running now is like a warning. He smiled at his question, nodded his head, and sped up.

“Okay, I’ll speed up. Follow me.”

“hahahaha, now it’s going to be fun!”

“My body was itching!”

Laland, who was next to him, sighed, but the warriors laughed and started speeding up in the same way.

After running around the castle, I came out and continued running along the outer wall of the village. It was fun playing with Laland after a long time.

“Come to think of it, Alte and I are friendly. Aren’t the two of them too close?”

“I’m just asking and answering for business needs. I’ve never thought about it further than that. Why?”

“No…Nothing.”

What on earth did I talk to Mr. Alte about? Looking at what Mr. Alte is saying, it seems that he is not familiar with Laland at the end. While at the academy, he ran while talking about his future goals and daily life.

I don’t know how long I ran, but I knew that lunchtime was approaching when I saw the sun was about to rise. Sweat began to form on me, and when I looked back, I saw people running with a pickpocket.

Especially the man who said something to me at the very beginning was foaming at his mouth. He’s still far

“Gongja, shall we run for one more hour?”

“That’s right, in five days… Whiney… Jo Hull…”

“Yes yes, I’ll cut it down to 30 minutes.”

Sadism bloomed at the sight of Laland and his warriors in pain. Despair came to their eyes as they smiled.

“Okay, I’m going to run another 30 minutes. Are you still itchy?”

“Stop… Stop…”

“Kill… No, save…”

Ah, someone dies by jumping. When I saw the person I was looking at, he foamed at his mouth and tried to spread it out, so I went to his side and encouraged him to run.

“The way he jumps and spreads like this is more like a kid than a warrior.”

I was happy to see that I suddenly came back to my senses and started running again, and ran for another 30 minutes before entering the castle. As I wiped the sweat from my forehead and looked at the comrades I had run with, everyone was lying on the ground except for Laland, who held his knees and breathed heavily.

It’s hard to wake up like that.

Laland, whose breathing has stabilized, smiled while wiping the sweat that fell like rain.

“It’s a bit difficult, but it’s refreshing to run like this for the first time in a while.”

“I agree.”

After returning to the mansion, it was refreshing to run like this for the first time in a long time, probably because I didn’t break a sweat because I ran at the pace of the young lady. His heart raced as he thought he would be able to run like this the rest of the day.

“I wish you well for the rest of the day.”

“…That might be a bit difficult…Would you like to go to a hot spring together?”

Because it’s a hot spring… It wasn’t suitable for summer weather, but it was suitable for the chilly northern weather, and I felt uncomfortable with sweat, so I wanted to wash it.

“Let’s go and have fun until lunchtime.”

My heart was pounding at the first hot spring I went to after coming to this world. We headed back to the hot springs for the people who were lying face down.

“There are a lot of interesting shops in the north. Especially, it was amazing because there were a lot of products related to the moon.”

“I see. I couldn’t find anything related to the moon in the capital even after washing my eyes, but it’s different here.”

“Really? I thought it wasn’t only in our territory, but it seems like it’s not in the capital either?”

I went around the estate with the lady and returned to the castle with the goods I bought. The ornaments related to the moon looked pretty, so the lady bought them.

I secretly smiled heartily when I saw the young lady’s first love, a gift for her butler. As she returned to the castle, Mr. Gillian came over to us with her wet hair.

“My lady, the hot spring water here is quite good. Thanks to you, I feel like my back has been completely cured.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I have been to all the other hot springs during my travels, but not as good as the hot spring located on the high hill inside the castle. How about visiting before lunch?”

The young lady heard Mr. Gillian’s story and wondered if she was worried, then nodded her head.

“I believe Gillian’s words. You know this is my first hot spring experience, right? Don’t you disappoint me?”

A lady handing over the luggage she was carrying to Mr. Gillian. Mr. Gillian naturally accepted the luggage and smiled.

“This is the best hot spring I’ve recognized. The lady will be satisfied too. Ruitena, you too will serve the lady and come along.”

“Thank you…”

He held out his hand as if to hand over his luggage with a smile similar to the one his father had. She almost cried, but answered with a smile and handed over the luggage.

The entrance to the hot spring, where I arrived excitedly with the young lady following the route you gave me, was strange because the entrance to the hot springs was divided into separate areas for men and women. In the women’s locker room, long towels and lockers were placed to cover the body.

As Mr. Gillian added, she took off her clothes and covered her body with a towel. When she came out, an open-air bath with a roof was opened in front of her eyes. In the chilly weather, I almost melted when I put my body in a hot spring bath with smoke rising gently.

“Ha…That’s nice…”

“I don’t know if it’s hot like our manor, but it’s definitely nice to come in with the cool northern air…”

The young lady also dipped her neck up to her neck in her hot spring bath and gently closed her eyes. I admired the young lady’s firm yet voluptuous body that came out under the misty hot spring water.

I saw it while helping her change her clothes every day, but even though she was two years younger than me, her breasts … Already looked like an adult.

Don’t look, my b*tch…You’re not wrong…

I was idly stroking my poor chest, and through the partition next to me, I heard a voice along with the sound of soaking in the hot spring.

“It’s an open-air bath with a clear view of the town. When was it built?”

“My grandfather’s grandfather, that is, great-great-grandfather, said he built it after discovering that hot spring water came out.”

“It’s an open-air bath with history and tradition. The temperature is perfect for soaking in. Haa…”

At the voices of the butler and Prince Laland, I felt as if I was dead. Little by little, he turned his head and looked at the young lady, who stood still with her hand covering her mouth.

“Rather than that, when did you get that big scar that stretched from your chest to your waist? It’s amazing that you didn’t die with that much of a wound.”

My eyes widened at the secret the deacon hadn’t told me. How big was Laland-sama talking about? I looked at the young lady’s face for a moment and saw that the young lady who had become her contemplative was almost crying.

“Ah, this…Ahahahaha…I didn’t show it to a lot of people, but I forgot because I was so excited…I had to protect an old lady from an assassin’s attack when she was eight years old while enjoying a Goyang Festival. I was lying unconscious and had to wrap my body in bandages to keep the wound from opening for a week.”

“Eight…You’re…You’re amazing. It’s not easy.”

“It’s amazing. My heart hurts even more that the young lady must have been shocked by what happened. Oh, please keep it a secret from the lady. She doesn’t know that this scar exists. I would…”

I heard about the housekeeper’s work that even the lady did not know. When I saw the young lady’s face, she didn’t seem very surprised to hear that she was hiding such a big secret from her. Instead, her expression was so dark that I quietly approached her and hugged her so that the sound of the water wouldn’t be heard.

Then the young lady grabbed my arm and held her breath, shaking his shoulder and crying. I also cried at the kindness of the deacon who thought of the wounds in the lady’s heart before the wounds on her body.

“…I’ll keep it a secret, but a scar that big is bound to come out someday. It would be less shocking to Europa if I showed it and talked about it first, right?”

“…It’s a bit embarrassing to show you half naked…So…”

…Just for that reason?

Only for that reason?!?!

My gloomy heart, which had been overflowing, cooled down. The eyes where the lady shook herself and shed tears also became eyes of an axe, and I felt anger enough to think that the hot spring water was hot. Without knowing that, the two continued their conversation in a friendly atmosphere.

…I can’t help you with this, sir.

Cheer up…

But to be honest, that was a bit harsh even when I thought about it.
