【Chapter 108】
‘Ah, what is this.’
Carlisle frowned at something damp while he was sleeping soundly.
His whole body felt wet and clammy, which was very unpleasant.
‘Did I break out in cold sweat or something. Sigh. I don’t even have clothes to change into… Huh?’
Carlisle thought this as he slowly opened his eyes, then nearly stopped breathing when he discovered something strange.
It was too dark to see clearly, but there was a naked woman in his arms.
“…What the hell.”
A muttered word unconsciously flowed from Carlisle’s mouth.
A completely incomprehensible situation.
Who would be sleeping here naked?
“Is this a dream…?”
Carlisle thought he had maintained his virginity for so long that he was having a wet dream.
But then.
Startled!
The woman slowly opened her eyes.
“W-Who are you.”
“Oppa…”
“…?”
“Handsome… oppa.”
Hey, what is she saying?
Bewilderment appeared on Carlisle’s expression.
Swoosh, the woman’s hand caressed Carlisle’s cheek.
Shiver!
Carlisle was so unfamiliar with and flustered by that feeling that he had a fit.
“P-Please don’t do this.”
As Carlisle carefully pushed the woman away and urgently snapped his fingers, the bedroom light turned on.
“Who are you to do this to m… Huh?”
Carlisle finally recognized the identity of the mysterious woman and was startled.
The woman in the water tank.
She was the most dangerous existence among all the beings in Mage Antiros’s research laboratory.
‘How?’
As far as Carlisle knew, the woman would ‘never’ wake up unless the water tank was broken.
At least that’s how it was in the game [Overlord].
“How did you get out?”
“I wanted to see oppa. Auuung.”
“You wanted to see me?”
“Uung.”
The woman nodded and approached Carlisle, acting cute like a cat.
“Ah, stop it.”
Carlisle forcibly pulled the woman away.
“What are you doing. Put on clothes first.”
“Clothes?”
“At least wear this.”
Carlisle deliberately looked away and draped his military uniform over the woman’s shoulders.
“Oooh? This is ooooh?”
“Yes, clothes.”
“Good. Hehe. Oppa gave me clothes. Uuung.”
“…”
Just when Carlisle was at a loss for words from disbelief.
“Butler.”
“Hey, help me out here.”
“What’s with that woman?”
The baby dragon’s pupils suddenly became sharp like a cat’s.
“She was in the water tank, but it seems she woke up.”
“Really? Hmm.”
“Do something about this. Ugh.”
Carlisle turned his gaze away as if he couldn’t bear to look.
“Oppaaaa.”
“Haaaak!”
When the woman tried to hug Carlisle, the baby dragon bristled its fur and growled.
Flinch!
The woman’s steps stopped.
“Don’t come near Butler. If you come closer, I won’t let it slide.”
“Uuung…”
The woman made a sad expression at the baby dragon’s threat.
“But oppa is nice… oppa is handsome…”
“Why is Butler your oppa? And whether Butler is handsome or not, what’s it to you?”
“Hueung…”
“Seriously.”
The baby dragon glared at Carlisle.
“That’s why I told you not to go around flirting everywhere, didn’t I?”
“When did I ever go around flirting.”
“Butler must have flirted, that’s why this crazy woman is acting like this.”
“That doesn’t make any sense. What did I even do.”
Carlisle protested as if he was wronged.
“Who told you to be handsome? Butler is unnecessarily handsome, that’s why this kind of thing happens.”
“…How is that my fault.”
“It is your fault, why wouldn’t it be? Being born handsome is also a sin.”
“…”
Carlisle was so dumbfounded that he gave up on the conversation with the baby dragon.
“But you, what’s your name.”
“Beatrice…”
“Beatrice?”
“Uung. The ugly grandfather called me that.”
“Ugly grandfather? Don’t tell me.”
Carlisle had an idea of who the [ugly grandfather] that the woman who revealed her name as Beatrice was talking about.
‘He must be quite ugly.’
That was the only way Carlisle could think about it.
* * *
Perhaps because Beatrice had been in the water tank for a long time, everything about her was clumsy and immature.
Yet she followed Carlisle almost instinctively.
Fortunately, Beatrice was very afraid of the baby dragon.
“Oppa! Hehe!”
“Haaaak!”
“Heeeeeeng!”
Thanks to the baby dragon growling every time Beatrice tried to cling to him, Carlisle was able to avoid awkward situations.
“What exactly are you.”
“Beatrice. Hehe.”
“That’s your name. I’m asking what you are.”
“Beatrice, Beatrice. Heehe.”
“….”
Carlisle realized that normal conversation with Beatrice was impossible and squeezed his eyes shut.
‘What the hell is she.’
While rummaging through Mage Antiros’s materials to learn about Beatrice, Carlisle happened to discover his diary.
‘Antiros’s diary.’
As Carlisle examined the diary, he discovered shocking content and frowned.
“This guy was completely insane.”
“Why?”
“Read this.”
Carlisle showed the baby dragon a specific part of the diary.
“…He made her to be his wife? Ugh.”
After reading the diary, the baby dragon made a nauseated expression as if the mere thought was disgusting.
According to Antiros’s diary, what he had wanted his entire life was nothing other than creating [the most beautiful woman in the world] who would become [his wife].
After a lifetime of research, Antiros cultivated a woman’s body, placed a soul within it, and gave her the name Beatrice.
Though it wasn’t creation in the complete sense, he had succeeded in encroaching somewhat upon the Creator’s domain.
However, for some reason, Beatrice showed no signs of awakening.
Antiros employed every possible means to awaken Beatrice, but she didn’t wake up for over ten years.
All Antiros could do was confess his love to Beatrice in the cylindrical tank and desperately wait for her to awaken.
Thirteen years after creating Beatrice.
Antiros passed away at his research laboratory desk, and Beatrice seemed to have been sleeping in this research laboratory for hundreds of years.
‘Hmm. This is too horrible.’
Carlisle shuddered at Antiros’s psychology written in the diary… the madness and desire toward Beatrice.
The diary’s contents were so disgusting, obscene, and chilling that he wanted to wash his brain clean.
“Hey.”
“Woof~?”
“Did you deliberately not wake up? Because of that ugly grandfather?”
“Woof….”
Beatrice frowned as if displeased.
“Ugly. Dirty. Disgusting.”
“R-right.”
Carlisle fully understood why Beatrice showed such a reaction.
Looking at the diary’s contents, it was all there what Antiros had done.
‘Still, she seems like a good kid. If it were me, I would have killed that old geezer the moment I woke up.’
Thinking this, Carlisle said to Beatrice.
“It’s too late, so let’s sleep and talk tomorrow.”
“Is oppa going to sleep?”
“Yeah.”
“I want to sleep too. Next to oppa. Heehe.”
“Haaaak!”
“Hieuk!”
Before Carlisle could refuse, the baby dragon stepped forward and growled at Beatrice.
“How dare you target my butler. The butler is my butler. So wake up from that dream.”
“Hueeeeng!”
Beatrice whimpered, but the baby dragon didn’t bat an eye.
“You go sleep on that sofa. The bed is mine.”
“That’s mean.”
“What’s mean about it. You’re noisy, go sleep. Before I bite you.”
“Woof….”
In the end, Beatrice couldn’t overcome the mountain that was the baby dragon.
“Forget it, you two sleep.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You two sleep on the bed. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
“Why is the butler giving up the bed?”
“She’s pitiful.”
Carlisle made a somewhat sympathetic expression.
“Her situation is already unfortunate, and I don’t feel right making her sleep on the sofa. I’m fine, so you two sleep on the bed.”
“Why are you acting nice when it doesn’t suit you?”
“My conscience is bothering me, okay.”
Carlisle replied curtly and went to lie down on the sofa.
“Geez! Stupid butler!”
The baby dragon shook her head in frustration, then called Beatrice over.
“You, come sleep here.”
“I don’t want to….”
“Haaaak!”
“Ah, okay.”
Beatrice quietly went to the bed and lay down.
“Watch her carefully. Don’t let her attack me.”
“What am I, a night guard?”
“Please, I’m asking you.”
“Really, such a troublesome butler.”
The baby dragon rolled her eyes at Carlisle.
* * *
The scout unit found Carlisle’s location very easily.
“Woof woof! Woof woof woof!”
Begman’s pet Silver Wolf had very keen senses of smell, so it could easily track down Carlisle’s trail.
“Is this it? Where Private Carlisle is?”
“It appears so.”
Begman answered Helen’s question.
“This is the research laboratory of that mage called Antiros I mentioned before, Sir Helen.”
“I see.”
Kudo chuckled and said.
“I wondered where he went, but he was hiding here. Private Carlisle didn’t seem to have any intention of running far away.”
“Right. If it were me, I would have left this place entirely and gone to a nearby village or city.”
Marder nodded in agreement.
“Let’s go in.”
Begman guided Helen.
The scout unit that entered Antiros’s research laboratory headed toward the bedroom where Carlisle’s group was sleeping.
Click!
Just then, the light turned on, revealing the interior of the bedroom completely.
“Look there!”
“This crazy bastard!”
The scout unit was outraged at the scene unfolding before their eyes.
Helen was the same way.
“What on earth is this… Huu.”
Helen squeezed her eyes shut to suppress her anger.
“Anyway. Old habits die hard, they say.”
“How did he manage to bring a woman all the way to a place like this?”
“You idiot! Don’t you get it! It’s Carlisle! Don’t you know being handsome solves everything?”
“How did he hold back all this time?”
The scout members all chimed in one after another, sharing their impressions of the scene unfolding before their eyes.
And for good reason, as Carlisle’s state was quite a sight to behold.
In the arms of Carlisle, who was sleeping on the sofa, was Beatrice wearing only a military uniform top that barely covered her.
To anyone watching, it looked like something had happened between them the night before, and they had fallen asleep tightly embracing each other.
“…You’ve arrived.”
Sensing the presence of people, Carlisle quietly opened his eyes.
“Private Carlisle.”
Helen smiled coldly and glared at Carlisle with eyes full of contempt.
“I once believed in you. I thought you had put your promiscuous past behind you.”
“What…?”
“People really don’t change after all.”
“What do you mean.”
“You are trash. Trash like no other in this world.”
Helen left those words and departed as if there was nothing more to see.
“Why is Sir Helen acting like that?”
“Are you seriously asking that right now?”
Begman answered Carlisle’s question with a grim expression.
“Look at yourself right now. Do you look like someone who shouldn’t be getting that reaction?”
“What’s wrong with how I lo… Huh, why is she here.”
Carlisle was startled when he discovered Beatrice in his arms.
“Shouldn’t you know that better than us? And it’s embarrassing, so please at least put some clothes on her!”
“Here, use this.”
Kudo quickly covered Beatrice with a cloak.
“It’s not like that, so stop making a fuss.”
“This bastard, really! What do you mean it’s not like that!”
Begman shouted angrily as if telling him to stop talking nonsense.
“Do you think we’re idiots?”
“At least be a man and admit it! You perverted bastard!”
No one believed Carlisle’s words.
