I managed to get back to the Hart family mansion before nightfall.

He was tired in the heels due to the battle against the crown cobolt and the joy of the bulimic skills that followed.

When you put the Black Sword Greed on the desk in your room and fall into bed, your consciousness quickly turns dark.

… wake up to the strong sunlight that plugs through the window.

Hmm? From that height of the sun, isn't the time near noon?

Could it be that you've had a blast of sleep? I jumped out of my room in a hurry to get familiar.

Then an old maid walking through the neighborhood giggles and tells me.

"Sleeping boy, you're finally up. If you do that, Master Roxy will fire you."

"Yeah, that's all... Where is Master Roxy? I need to apologize for this failure..."

Look at me as a dick, the maid looks like she's having fun. Oh, my God, you're not gonna laugh even though I might be fired! What do you think,

"I'm sorry I laughed. 'Cause you look like a puppy that's going to get dumped. It's crazy, huffy. Oh, again, I'm sorry. But don't worry, that was a lie."

"What do you mean?

"I ordered you to stay asleep because it was Master Roxy."

To my surprise, the old maid goes on.

Anything, Roxy, worried about me not waking up in the morning, said he went to check on himself. I knocked on the room and I didn't reply, I got anxious if something was going on. She opened the door and I opened my big mouth and she was asleep.

Seeing me like that, he thought Roxy must have gotten tired from yesterday's grape harvest, so he could tell the maids to put him to sleep as long as he wanted.

"Were you?"

"I have permission from Master Roxy, so you can sleep twice."

"No, no, it's okay. I already let you sleep tight."

I have the audacity to sleep twice. In the meantime, I need to apologize to Roxy.

"So, where's Master Roxy?

"Yesterday, you said it. They took a bunch of guys in my arms and went hunting for a cobolt."

Has he gone? To that ravaged valley where nature runs out.

By now, Roxy would be surprised to see that. And I'm curious as to what conclusions to draw. Well, there's got to be no evidence anywhere that I did it. Let's keep it flat here.

"When are you going to be back?

"Right. If it's all year round, maybe tomorrow morning. Cobolts are nocturnal, aren't they? So it's like putting up a trap during the day and keep hunting until morning breaks"

"Tomorrow..."

That being said, I was sure I'd be back by the end of the day.

If you look at the tragedy in the valley, you'll know as much as someone fought the Kobolts there.

Besides, even if Cobolt was still on the other side of the valley, I don't think he'd come to the Hart family territory if he fought that much. If you're Roxy, who drives away the Kobolts every year, you know from the rules of thumb.

Well, it'll be some kind of noise when I get back. In advance, you just have to keep in mind.

Thinking about that,

"You really like Master Roxy."

"What!?

It's what I say all of a sudden, so you got a weird voice. As a servant, I'm just thinking about the Lord... yes.

"What are you suddenly saying!

"I'm in a hurry. Phew, phew... okay."

The old maid tries to get back to work, suppressing with her hands and laughing, as my reaction seemed so funny.

"Wait, wait. Is there anything I can do?

I want a chance to reclaim my honor as a sleeper here. They treat me like a guest in this mansion, but I'm Roxy's servant.

You can't get paid for doing nothing.

Then it seemed to convey my enthusiasm, and the maid twisted her neck.

"Well, I wonder if you could deal with Aisha. I think I'm free."

"Okay! I'll do my best!"

I ask you to tell me where Aisha is and thank the maid. And rush out.

"Cora, the hallway doesn't run! If you hit someone, it's dangerous!

"Excuse me!"

I did something serious as a servant.

I bow my head to the maid who scolded me and walk ahead with Stasta.

Where Aisha is is is in her own room. Unlike my room, which is a guest room, I knock on a door that I made a few steps above to see.

I was a little late and got a response from inside.

"Excuse me."

"Well, Faith. Just great. I was free with all the views I could see through the window."

With an innocent smile like a girl, Aisha welcomes me.

Today she was resting with only her upper body up on the bed apparently not feeling well.

"Come on, sit here"

As prompted, I sit on the chair beside the bed.

Aisha looks at it and laughs nicely, looking out at the view again.

I was followed, too, and for a while I was looking in the mansion yard. In Wang Du's mansion, even from me as a gardener apprentice, I can tell that it is a well-kept garden with great detail. I wonder how much the gardeners here like the Hart family.

"It's a good garden"

"Yes, especially where you can see it through this window. Even if I tell you I don't have to do that, it's like the gardener's grandfather's gonna try his best."

Well... Aisha has a major illness, so she rarely walks outside. That's why I tend to pull her into the bedroom.

"I'm gonna be in trouble..."

Aisha seemed happy, though with her mouth. The bickering lasts for a while, and the constant time for laughter passes. I didn't eat breakfast or anything, but when I rattled my belly bug, I called my maid, and she even served me snacks.

I don't know what to say from her, I feel kind like a mother. Well, my mother died right after giving birth to me, so I don't know what to say about those things.

I'm sure this pro bono kindness does.

Aisha like that put the teacup she had in her hand on the plate and suddenly she looks serious and faces me.

"I guess... it won't be long now"

"That's not true. Even now,"

I couldn't say I was fine. She's still on the bed.

Aisha takes over the word.

"Right, I'm still fine now. But I'm sure one of these days. I knew I knew who I was."

"... why did you give it to me"

"I thought you would support Roxy. Can you do me a favor?

I'm confused, Aisha says.

Roxy was said to have been quite shocked by her husband's death in the war in Gallia. But instead, he's got Roxy's heart supported by what I've done to the Hart family.

She said she went when Aisha and I were alone. "You can't stop, lest you think of Faith as a sloppy Lord," he said.

"Roxy had good eyes then. Like that guy when I was younger."

"But someone like me..."

The status and position are too different.

Besides, even though I have a lot of power right now, I can't put it on the table. If I exercise it from the shadows, can I support it... I feel something different.

I'm confused, Aisha's hand overlaps.

The "Reading Mind" skill is activated and the voice of the mind is heard.

(It's okay...... it's not that hard)

My hands are gently let go, and my heart's voice breaks off there. Then, from Aisha's mouth,

"There's no need for status or position. Nor is it as powerful as the Holy Knight. It's here that matters."

The fingertip of that hand was pointing to my chest.

"It's the heart that wants to be."

"Mind...... feelings"

"Yes, because I... I don't have any useful skills out of the civilian population. Even I was able to support my husband, the Holy Knight. Even I could do it, so I'm sure Faith can do it. I believe so."

"Dear Aisha..."

There is no doubt that the sick Aisha has a stronger heart than I do.

Her words were so heavy on me for waking up to bulimic skills and just asking for strength.

That's why I wanted to be like Aisha too.
