Episode 66

“I heard there’s a maid named Roji here…”

“She’s not here this time either?”

“I definitely heard she went this way…”

Dillen, Dillen, Dillen, argh, Dillen!

Stop it already, you crazy bastard.

How many days has this been going on now?

…I thought while hiding behind the tree.

I desperately hoped my body crammed between the tree and grass blades would be completely hidden.

“She’s not here…”

Eventually thinking I wasn’t there, Dillen left.

I could finally let out a sigh of relief.

Should I call this fortunate?

That Dillen isn’t a transcendent like Yurta.

‘If that bastard were also a transcendent, he would’ve come running talking about scent or whatever…’

Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

At this rate, should I walk around wearing a bread bag or something…

I remember the Head Chef who looked at me with pitying eyes while offering a bread bag.

Feeling sorry for me hiding with a basin on my head, the Head Chef handed it over with pitying eyes, telling me to at least wear this.

‘No. I don’t want to sink that low.’

Was calling Dillen a mistake?

…Thanks to it, Yurta’s side has quieted down, which is good, but I never thought he’d search for me this persistently.

“What are you doing there?”

Unable to get up and still hiding in the bushes, a low voice came from above my head.

My entire body instantly stiffened.

I couldn’t even breathe as I turned my creaking head.

“You startled me.”

“Is my coming here such a surprising thing, Sister?”

“When you’re hiding and someone suddenly calls you from above, isn’t it normal to be startled…?”

“That would be true for ordinary people.”

Right. How nice for you being a transcendent.

Yurta showed the true form of a person lacking empathy.

I sighed and tried to get up. But at that moment…

“I’m screwed.”

“…Sister!”

“Agh!”

I grabbed my leg and fell to the side.

Startled Yurta rushed over, but I frowned and waved my arms.

Don’t come! Don’t come over!

From my numb leg, tingling sensations spread in all directions like fireworks exploding.

…I think I’m going to die.

I had been crouching for too long trying to avoid Dillen.

Because of that, my leg was severely numb.

Could this have been Dillen’s purpose all along?

‘I’ll kill him next time we meet.’

Just how long is he going to torment me?

“Where does it hurt? Should I call a physician?”

“…No, my leg is just numb.”

“…Ah.”

Yurta had a relieved look in his eyes.

Why are you relieved? Don’t you know how painful a numb leg is?

“I’ll massage it for you.”

“What?”

Yurta casually reached out and grabbed my leg.

At that moment, the tingling sensation became even worse.

“Agh! Don’t touch it! Don’t touch it!”

“It’ll get better once it’s loosened up.”

“No, it’s fine. Just don’t touch it. Let it naturally… Agh!”

Yurta mercilessly kneaded my leg as if he couldn’t hear my screams.

…I really think I’m going to die.

‘As soon as my leg stops being numb, I’m killing him.’

Grinding my teeth like that, I had to taste the pain while lying face down.

A little later, I was freed from the agony of my numb leg.

“Are you alright, Sister?”

“…Come closer. I’m going to kill you.”

“I’m glad you seem to be fine.”

I wanted to rush at him right away, but I collapsed from lack of energy, and Yurta watched me like that.

…Damn, he’s handsome.

That was the thought that suddenly occurred to me as I looked at Yurta watching over me while I lay sprawled.

Maybe that’s why he’s really annoying.

“…Dillen keeps looking for me. Do something about it.”

“You’re the one who called Dillen, Sister.”

Yurta coldly drew a line. He looked exactly like he was sulking.

“If you called Dillen, you should have been prepared for that much. Did you really believe you wouldn’t encounter him at all?”

Of course I thought that would be possible.

The manor is so vast, what reason would there be for him to encounter me when I’m doing my duties as Rihardt’s exclusive maid?

But Yurta’s face as he said that looked exactly like a child throwing a tantrum.

“Alright.”

“…Pardon?”

“I’ll meet him then.”

“…”

“I think you’re right. I should meet Dillen. Well then, I’ll go.”

The moment I tried to get up from my spot, Yurta pulled on my leg that he was holding.

“No. Absolutely not.”

Yurta’s red eyes blazed fiercely.

“Do you think I’ll just stand by and let you meet him?”

“Got it. Try your best to stop it. Fighting!”

Yurta’s blazing eyes instantly became bewildered.

He clearly thought he had been played.

I patted Yurta’s shoulder encouragingly and got up from my spot.

“…Are you leaving?”

“I have things to do.”

The entire time I was leaving This Place, I felt a sticky sensation as if Yurta’s red gaze was following me.

‘It’s about time for Rihardt to come out.’

This morning, I received orders from Arzen to go check on him once.

Usually punishment ends after 3 days, apparently.

I headed straight to the annex.

‘I hope I don’t run into Eric.’

Fortunately, as I climbed the stairs and went to the floor where Rihardt was, Eric was nowhere to be seen.

Still, the uncomfortable feeling wouldn’t go away.

I kept having this anxious feeling…

Eric was standing in front of Rihardt’s room with the gatekeepers.

I found out later that the gatekeepers brought to the annex were newly hired.

I heard they had to let some gatekeepers go due to all the incidents, and they needed more gatekeepers since the annex was built.

‘What are they doing? That’s suspicious…’

Why was Eric giggling with the gatekeepers over there?

“How pitiful. As if someone like you could…”

When I got closer, it looked like they were saying something to Rihardt inside.

This doesn’t feel right.

“R-Roji?”

Those who had been giggling among themselves were startled when they spotted me, their eyes widening.

Eric especially looked surprised that I had suddenly appeared. Then he completely changed his expression and grinned.

“Roji, want me to show you something interesting?”

“…Something interesting?”

“Yeah. Come over here.”

I felt uneasy, but I went toward Rihardt’s door as Eric said.

Then I heard a strange sound.

“Listen carefully to the sound coming from here.”

I didn’t really want to, but I listened to the sound coming from the door.

“…I don’t hear anything.”

“What? Did he pass out?”

“…”

“That’s too bad. It was really interesting. It would have been great if you could have heard it too, Roji.”

“What was it?”

Eric looked into space as if imagining that moment from before, then suddenly giggled.

“I’d like to tell you, but wouldn’t it be more fun to see and hear it yourself?”

“But if he passed out, I can’t see it myself. What was it?”

“It’s a secret. If you’re curious, come back tomorrow. I’ll show you again then.”

Eric didn’t seem to have any intention of telling me. No matter how many times I asked after that, he only said to come back.

I had no choice.

I’d have to come back tomorrow.

A day passed like that.

“I thought you wouldn’t come, but you’re back?”

Eric leaned against the door and smiled crookedly at me.

“You said you’d show me if I came back.”

“You pretended not to care, but you were curious after all?”

…Really annoying.

“So you’re not going to show me?”

“Well, we want to show you, but the monster seems to be sleeping right now.”

“Then next time…”

“No, no. You came all this way, so I should show you.”

He was going to wake up a sleeping person for something like that?

He must have suffered plenty in that room and finally fallen asleep.

I tried to dissuade Eric. But before I could, Eric kicked the door.

Bang!

“Hey, monster!”

“Eric, what is this…”

“Get up right now! Your personal maid has graciously come to visit!”

Bang bang!

Eric kept kicking the door.

I was so shocked by his rough behavior that my eyes widened.

I hadn’t expected him to act like this at all.

Just as I was about to confront him about what he was doing…

“…Maid?”

A voice came from inside the door.

…Rather than sounding like someone who had just woken up, it sounded like someone who had collapsed and barely regained consciousness.

I don’t know how I could distinguish such things, but that’s how it felt.

I couldn’t answer and just stood there quietly when I heard the voice calling for me again from inside.

“What are you doing, Roji. He’s calling you.”

Eric urged me on. Did he expect me to answer?

“Stop it, Eric. So what did you do yesterday?”

“…”

Eric, who had looked somewhat offended by my firm refusal, kicked the door roughly once more.

Bang!

I stepped back in surprise at the loud echoing sound.

“Roji, are you scared?”

‘What is this crazy bastard saying?’

Eric had become a bit strange after moving to this annex.

He was already strange before, but now in a worse way…

He had the face of someone drunk on power, as if he had become something important.

“Fine. I’ll show you. Since you want to see it.”

Eric grinned and kicked the door once more, then spoke to Rihardt.

“Hey, monster. Do you remember who I am?”

I frowned at Eric’s behavior.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

…A scene unfolded that might have been better not to watch.

A very disgusting and horrible scene.

Eric, who had been doing strange things to Rihardt, saw that my face had turned pale and looked proud as if he had accomplished something.

I watched that scene but couldn’t bear it any longer, so I turned around and ran away.

* * *

When I came to my senses, I was in the middle of some garden.

As I sat there gloomily, a water droplet fell from the sky with a plop.

The sky was cloudy as if it would rain.

‘What should I do now?’

I felt that overwhelming emotion again. I’ve been feeling like this often lately.

I was rubbing my face dry when…

“Finally found you.”

An unwelcome voice was heard.

…Damn. It’s Dillen.
