The sun goes down, and at night the throwlet house, which was wrapped in bright sunlight, is wrapped in darkness.

I'm on duty to watch this evening, and I walk with the lamps with candles in the dark corridors.

I can't hear any voices that were so busy during the day.

From the second floor, you can't hear the happy roaring voices of Alfleet and Silvio, the gentle voices of Elna and Nord, leaking from the living room, and the sound of Elinora's sword waving.

The mansion is wrapped in silence that is different from the daytime.

There are some lamps on the wall of the corridor and sometimes lights with light guides, but I can not rely on it because the interior of the house is large.

This is natural because you don't have to live in the night and you don't need to light up the house more than necessary.

Aside from magic tools, using candles also requires money. It is inevitable.

However, from the perspective of me who looks around at night or is a weak maiden, I want to make the night a little brighter.

Recently, I heard that the reversi, designed by Alfleet and sold by the Triela Shokai, is in great shape. Wouldn't it take this opportunity to wipe out the lamps in the mansion and switch to a light magic device?

No, but I heard that during this time Bartolo asked for 80 stoves for the stove magic device. I heard that she wore over a hundred gold coins lightly when she combined her women's Kagura clothes, and it may be impossible for the time being.

The stove's magic tool seems to be indispensable for making fried bread and fried chicken, so if you can't buy a light magic tool, you can't help. Kagura clothes are something you never get.

Oh, I was hungry when I imagined delicious fried food such as fried bread and fried chicken.

I manage the saliva that seems to leak from the end of my mouth, and go up to the second floor with my feet that seem to go to the kitchen.

The second floor of the mansion is a private space, mainly the bedroom of Nords.

We maids understand that well, so when you're not at work, we'll keep it on the first floor so as not to disturb your time.

Of course, if you are called, you will go out immediately, but the main ones are rarely called because they hate to use maids more than necessary.

We hear that maids in other residences are called many times, are left idle for a long time, and sometimes work late because of daytime work.

However, I am glad that there is no such thing in the house of the Throwlet family.

You don't have to work late, and you can pay. And the best thing is that the rice is delicious.

Isn't the maid's strength here to be able to eat Bartolo's and Alfleet's dishes best?

Because the number of maids is small, there is a lot of work per person, but I think the working environment of the Slowlet family is very good.

The only drawback is that colleagues like Sarah and Mel are too good.

I'm a little dissatisfied with being treated like a child I can't do the best.

"I think I'm a maid that I can do better than everyone thinks."

Try muttering while sharpening your lips.

When you go upstairs, a long corridor extends to the back.

There are lamps installed everywhere, but the lights are lonely. The deeper you go, the more darkness you feel.

"... I'm getting scared because I had a ghost story with Mel in the daytime."

Your weak voice resounds in a dark hallway.

A maid who watches around midnight. Same situation as me now.

If you can hear footsteps from behind, it is completely the same gossip I heard.

"Well, that's not possible!"

When I muttered and walked to cheer myself, I suddenly heard a click from behind.

"―― !?"

The moment I heard the sound, I felt the heart deep inside my chest jumping up and down.

Pcho, what's the sound of today? ?

I can't move for a while with my eyes wide open, and I shout in my heart.

Then, when the heart jumps up, it looks back slowly at a slightly calm timing.

I illuminate it with a lamp, but there is nothing there.

It's just a beautiful red carpet spread as usual.

"... what is it?

I exhale.

The moment I remembered the story, I heard a sound from behind, so I was impatient.

If she was seen by Mel or Sarah, she was absolutely laughing.

It's embarrassing to be conscious of it at night, even though it's a story you shake yourself.

I will devote myself to the work of watching, to make sure that I am not surprised now.

First, let's go around the study room, storage room, and a little playground.

First, check the study room.

Pressing the wooden door makes a squeaky sound.

I don't mind anything during the day, but it seems strangely weird in such a dark and quiet time.

The study illuminated by the lamps illuminates the study wrapped in darkness.

"... I don't have anyone?"

Mutter a little like telling your hope in yourself.

If a suspicious person comes out, you can't do anything with a weak maid.

Well, because the strongest lords are here, I don't think I'll be a partner anymore, but I don't think I'll be safe. That's why I always ask that no suspicious person appear.

When you illuminate the interior of the study with the light of candles, you will find many bookshelves full of books.

I slowly move into the room to perform the work on the patrol.

Then, behind me, the door closed without permission.

"Hi!"

A short scream that is sad to the sudden noises leaks, and the body is amazed.

"And the door was closed by the wind.

Look at the door and ask me to be convinced.

"Huh? But the windows in the corridor weren't open ...? No, surely I was halfway open and pushed by the delicate airflow and closed."

I feel like the study door was fully open, but I didn't care.

The more you think, the more scary you think.

The interior of the study is filled with a unique paper smell. There are no books or furniture in the room, nobody is suspicious.

"... No problem"

I checked the room carefully and muttered so I left the study.

Then, when I reached for the door knob to close the door, the door moved alone and closed with a slam.

“…………”

I didn't even touch the doorknob and I couldn't feel the wind.

The door moved perfectly and closed.

"... What is this? It's convenient but scary!"

I saw the closed door by myself and shook alone.

What should I do. A mysterious phenomenon is occurring in the residence of the Throwlet family. Why hasn't this happened before? This mansion is a new house just built ten years ago by Nord.

There's no curse that says that the predecessor committed suicide. But what does it mean when the door closes or opens freely?

I want to cry to Sara and Mel sleeping in the dormitory.

I want you to start right away and look around with me, saying that a strange phenomenon has occurred.

However, if you do that, you will get a reputation as a bad maid again.

I just want to avoid that.

"But I'll do my best, Mina. You're a child you can do. If you cry just because the door moved once or twice, you're a good maid."

I will tell you so well and resume watching around alone.

I'm really scared, but not to call me a bad maid.

I walked out slowly and checked the storage room.

We kept the door fully open and looked around while checking the flickering, but this time it did not close without permission.

And the door of the next play room was stationary without any abnormalities.

After all, I wonder if the door was just a matter of concern, but I couldn't decide easily if I saw that it would move clearly.

I proceed down the corridor with my heart tightened.

The next room you see is Alfleet's room.

Alfleet often stays up late because she can use the magic of the light to light herself.

If I'm too late, I go to bed so I can sleep, but only today seems to have fallen early.

... I'm sleeping early only at these times.

While staying up late, the hallway becomes bright as if light could leak from the gap in the door.

And if you were talking like saying it's too late to sleep, you could alleviate this fear. I only go to sleep in these situations.

We pass Alfleet's room unfortunately.

Next is the room for Sylvio and Elinora, but the two do not go to bed early, so the lights do not leak from the door.

"Well ... the rest is about Nord's office, vacant rooms, and lounges."

Gotori, Gotori, Gotori ...

When I muttered, I heard the sound again from behind.

And this time it is not once. It sounds intermittent as if walking.

"... Who are you? Erinora? Or Alfleet?"

I look back and ask, but there is no answer.

It's weird to just hear Gotori and heavy footsteps.

I stick out the lamp and illuminate the back.

But no one is there. No one is there, but I can still hear footsteps from the depths of darkness.

"Yeah, it's awful! This is perfectly the same situation as ghost story !?"

Eerie footsteps. I was afraid of the invisible footsteps, so I stepped forward as quickly as I could in the direction of the footsteps.

The footsteps continue to sound as if they follow me. As if chasing me.

What should I do. I want to rush to the bedrooms of Nord and Erna, who are ahead.

I don't think they will get angry! This is already abnormal.

If a weak maid asks for help, they shouldn't go down unlike their colleagues!

I aim at the bedroom of Nords while becoming crying with fear.

Then, the footsteps from behind came close to me, and my back suddenly became heavy.

What is this? Very heavy back.

"Kyu!"

I fall down the hallway because of my sudden weight on my back and my feet shrinking with fear.

I'm sorry. This pattern is exactly the same as the ghost story. So when I look back here, my ghostly existence pulls my soul ...

I knew that, but I was always worried about my back and looked back.

The neck slowly moves backwards, thinking that it is no good-

"... What happened to Mina when you sat down in such a place? And you moved around a little while ago and were you noisy?"

Before turning back, Elinora appeared from the front and I didn't have to look back.

"Eh, Erinora-sama? Why are you here?"

"Why do you want to drink fruit juice a little and come down to the kitchen?"

Looking up, stunned, Elinora in pajamas with reddish-brown hair puts her hand on her waist.

A powerful voice with a dignified appearance that is not different from usual.

Just hearing Elinora's voice made me feel free from fear.

When I look up with my warm eyes, Elinora narrows her sharp eyes and looks into the back.

"... Hey, Al. You're there, what are you doing?"

"Huh?"

Is Alfleet behind?

"―― !?"

At the moment when I was wondering, there was a feeling of being upset somewhere from behind.

And the back that felt the weight became light like a lie, and you can feel the suspicious sign moving away.

"Wait a minute!"

Elinora immediately rushes into her room and starts following her with a wooden sword.

I don't know if the opponent is a suspicious person or Alfleet, but that figure seemed very dependable.

It's dangerous. It would be nice to play with Mina, but finally Elinora unnie appeared.

I'm going to spoil me that Mina is a doll that moves when she looks back and looks back, but she's completely feeling like a villain because Elinora unnie came and ran away.

In this case, it would have been better if you could spoil yourself on that spot and be surprised by Elinora.

But when I heard Elinora's intimidating voice at night, she instinctively wanted to escape.

A feeling of frustration as if you had met a terrible beast came furiously and ran away. Damn, Erinora unnie was out of the room by any chance. I thought I was sleeping in the room.

"You're there Al!"

Elinora unnie, who follows up with a voice even though it is midnight.

Why do you know where I am at the end of the corridor, even though it's late at night and you can't even see a few meters away?

Erinora's sensing ability is still strange.

How do you escape by metastasis? No, that would leave the knight behind.

No, let's throw away the defensive idea. This is a dark corridor with poor visibility.

No matter how much Elinora unnie, a doll that doesn't breathe can't be perceived and isn't it surprising?

I feel like seeing Elinora unnie who is a little scared.

Because of the darkness, I became a little more bullish than usual, so I tried to move the knight psychically and go around behind Elinora unnie.

"Hmm! What is it? Did you feel the strangely soft thing?"

"Oh oh oh! Elinora unnie cut my night !?"

I suddenly raise my voice with the shock of the night being cut.

A certain feel that can be seen from the magical permeation of the night with psychic. It looks like the head and torso were cut carefully. I can feel the magical power that the night wears.

"What a loud voice. It was Al."

Elinora unnie, holding a wooden sword, enters Silvio's brother's room nearby and brings out a light magic device.

Then the hallway where we were lit was lit, and the appearance of the knight lying on the floor was clear.

"Oh! My night is Durahan !?"

I was expecting, but I saw my knight's so painful, and I was thinking my head.

"Durahan? Where are these monsters ?? ... Durahan, it's not a doll. It was this that I cut. I thought it was reasonable and soft."

"That's terrible! Elinora unnie! It's okay to bend my head, even though I'm just a little bit of a night!"

"In the dark, it's bad to make a doll sneak out of my blind spot. The doll felt strange malice."

That's why she has a wooden sword.

Erinora's thinking of bringing out a wooden sword when she notices her brother's sign at night is strange.

"That's why you don't need to kill ..."

I grew it up hard. Re-sewing until you can stand and practice until you can walk.

And you can finally walk this evening. I'm starting to bounce around us.

It's not enough that a knight that loves like his own child can be soared his head.

When I looked up to protest while holding the knight that had become Durahan, Elinora unnie exhaled,

"Because I'm not a girl, don't worry about the doll being broken.

“…………”

Huh? Maybe Elinora will fix it?

"... I'll fix it if I ask my mother."

"... I'll say that I'll fix it."

After this, he was angry at his father, Nord, who heard the commotion. Especially when I used magic to scare Mina and make a fuss.

Mr. Elna gave her a preaching on how to use magic, and she decided to make a new cake as an apology to Mina.
