Chapter 4 : I Love Money! I Love Desserts Even More!!

The Draconian Duke’s mansion was magnificent.

No, magnificent was an understatement.

As I entered the tremendously huge mansion, numerous Maid Sisters were lined up on both sides.

Even Butler Grandpa was there to greet me.

“Welcome back, Young Lady. And the person next to you is…”

“They’re a guest staying at our house for the day. Just take care of them.”

“Ah, so the Young Lady has finally brought a friend…”

“Who’s a friend!? We’re just acquaintances!”

She shrieked! I looked at her, and her face was red.

Butler Grandpa was shedding tears beside her, and the Maid Sisters around us were sniffling.

She’s a beloved Young Lady.

“Hello, I’m Aris. I was taken in for the night in exchange for giving Ernia that.”

“Th-that, you say…”

Butler Grandpa was flustered, and Ernia’s face was red as she shouted.

“If you say it like that, the butler will misunderstand!?

I’m showing her Magic! Magic!

Following the shrieking Young Lady into her room, I saw a luxurious and extravagant interior.

Even a cute, giant rabbit doll was placed on the bed.

As I stared intently at the doll, the Young Lady hurriedly hid it.

“Ernia. You don’t have to mind me.”

“It’s a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! Father bought it for me!”

“Yes, yes. I believe you.”

“……”

Just as something was about to pop out of her mouth as she glared at me, a rumbling sound echoed.

‘Grrr.’

Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten anything since this morning.

“……”

As I clutched my hungry stomach and looked at the Young Lady, she sighed and pressed the call bell next to the bed. Immediately, there was a knock, and the Maid Sisters entered.

They looked at the Young Lady with expectant eyes, and she smiled wickedly, sending chills down my spine.

“Take her and wash her up.”

“Understood, Young Lady.”

With those words, I was led to the bathroom by the sisters.

I couldn’t even resist as the burly sisters on either side dragged me along. Their arms were like Don Lee’s…?

I wanted to ask them how much they bench, squat, and deadlift, as the sisters, owners of such sturdy arms, forcibly stripped me and put me in the bathtub.

The warm temperature… how long has it been since I’ve had a bath? Just as I was thinking that, the sisters appeared with something.

And they held up the bath products in front of me.

And so, I was mercilessly subjected to it for an hour.

After sending the grimy girl to the bathroom, I lay on the bed and hugged Elizabeth the 3rd doll.

A precious rabbit doll that Father gave me as a gift.

He’s not home because of work right now, so I guess I should be thankful.

Anyway, I had no intention of showing it to anyone, but I let my guard down.

“I’m sorry, Elizabeth. Did I treat you too harshly?”

“No. I’m fine.”

I heard a voice for a moment, threw Elizabeth away, and got up to see the Commoner.

A girl with fair skin, flowing black hair, and brightly shining red eyes.

After washing the grimy Commoner and putting her in proper clothes, she changed beyond recognition.

But one flaw is that she’s too skinny.

Well, that’s a problem that can be solved by feeding her properly…

Then, a rumbling sound echoed, and the Commoner clutched her stomach and looked at me.

“I understand. Let’s go eat.”

“Yes!”

Does she like eating that much?

I chuckled at the Commoner’s bright reply and headed to the dining room.

I ordered the meal in advance, so it should be ready by now.

As we entered the dining room, her eyes widened at the food filling the table.

“……”

“W-what is all this?”

“The Young Lady’s first invited guest has come, so we must treat them to this extent.”

“It’s not an invitation, I just followed her!”

“……”

Just as I was about to get angry at the butler, I heard a swallowing sound and looked over to see the Commoner’s gaze fixed on the food.

“Let’s eat first. You can sit there.”

As soon as she heard my words, she sat down and waited for me to pick up my utensils.

Still, I thought she had at least the minimum courtesy, so I sat down and picked up a piece of food with my fork. Then, her hand movements became faster.

And one by one, the dishes began to disappear.

I stared in surprise at the sight, but she didn’t seem to care and focused on eating.

She ate the food without regard for other people’s gazes, and the maids were busy clearing the clean plates and carrying new dishes.

The dinner, which lasted for two hours, ended only after she, with a full stomach, gave a satisfied smile.

I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve had a proper meal.

There’s a reason why they say even being a s*ave is better in a noble’s house. Loyalty, loyalty.

As I touched my full stomach and followed the Young Lady back to her room, she held out her hand to me.

I put my hand on hers, and she was flustered.

“……”

“What are you doing?”

“……”

“Weren’t you asking for my hand?”

“……”

“I wasn’t!?”

“……”

She had a dumbfounded expression on her face, but she realized what I meant when I said to keep our promise.

She wants me to show her Magic.

I grabbed her hand and cast a spell, and she slowly floated into the air.

“How is this possible? I can’t feel any Mana?”

“If Mana is felt, there is a risk of being detected by the enemy. So, you must develop the habit of concealing Mana.”

“I see, I didn’t know.”

It’s understandable that she doesn’t know. Because I don’t know either.

I decided to protect the innocent Young Lady who was falling for my natural lie and moved forward.

I opened the window and went outside, and the bright moonlight embraced us.

She was amazed by the sight of floating in the air.

“So, how long does this last?”

“In 9…”

“9 minutes?”

“8… 7… 6…”

“W-wait a minute!?”

I took her, who was struggling, and came back into the room just in time.

Then, she collapsed on the floor and breathed heavily. Was she scared?

Why?

“Haa… Haa… I, I thought I was going to die.”

“Just trust me.”

“I-it’s because of you!?”

I was trying to appease her when there was a knock, and a maid brought tea and desserts.

The Young Lady stared at me with a smug look on her face.

“Do you want to eat it?”

“Yes!”

“Then tell me everything you know about the interview.”

“Interview?”

The stage 3 exam tomorrow.

What the Young Lady wants is predicted questions.

“Don’t you want to eat it? Our family’s chef’s desserts are comparable to the imperial family’s.”

How long has it been since I’ve seen a strawberry cake?

As I drooled and stared at the dessert, she whispered to me to hurry up and talk.

I swallowed and answered with the contents of the setting book.

“Actually, it’s more of a personality test than an interview. There’s a saying, ‘One loach muddies the whole pond.’ It’s to catch students who disrupt the academic atmosphere of the Magic school.”

“Hoo? Is that so.”

She put the strawberry cake in front of me and put a fork in my hand.

Is it a pass? It’s a pass, right? It’s a pass, isn’t it!?

“I’ll eat well!”

As soon as I picked up the strawberry cake with a fork and took a bite, a refreshing and sweet taste spread in my mouth.

At the same time, tears welled up in my eyes.

The Young Lady was flustered by my appearance.

“Wh-why? What’s wrong!?”

“It’s so delicious…”

“……”

I’m crazy about desserts, but I’m eating it for the first time since I possessed the game.

In the meantime, I was okay with eating hard bread and thin soup. Drinking water with bits in it was okay, but not being able to eat dessert was my regret.

She ordered them to bring more at the sight of me crying and eating dessert.

“This is all for the Commoner… no, Aris. I won’t steal it, so eat it all.”

“Thank you…”

I was looking around the room guided by the maid sister. It was an ordinary guest room, but it was no less than a 5-star hotel for me, who had been living on the streets.

Now that I’m full and warm, I remembered what happened earlier.

It’s embarrassing. I want to die. Should I just die?

I don’t know what dessert is, but I don’t know why I was filming a melodrama in front of a child younger than me, crying and sniffling.

If this was acting, I would have won the Best Actress award.

I covered my face with both hands and threw myself on the bed in the room, feeling a soft sensation.

I’ve been sleeping on the streets or sneaking into empty houses…

I was tight on money because I gave away all the money I made playing Robin Hood while practicing Magic…

Recalling that time, I thought of a way to repay her… Ernia.

What comes must go.

Wouldn’t it be okay to take care of her and live with her at the Magic school?

It’s an amazing way to survive.
