## Chapter 284 – (5)
[Quest Complete.]
[Cooking skill level increased.]
I bought the servants yesterday, but it seems they were only recognized as servants today.
As soon as I woke up, the quest completion window appeared.
The reward was an increase in my cooking skill.
A pretty useless skill for me.
It’s not bad for my cooking skills to improve, but I always end up ordering delivery food because it’s a hassle.
Maybe I’ll cook for Hanna on an anniversary.
It seemed like it would be helpful then.
“Ugh…”
As I woke up and waved my hand in the air, Hanna, who was sleeping while hugging me, slowly opened her eyes.
“Huh…?”
Hanna shook her head, probably seeing the quest completion window in front of her.
Watching her, I suddenly became curious.
“Did you get a reward?”
“Reward… Ah… Translation skill… Level 2.”
Her words were slow with sleep still in her voice, but Hanna answered what she had received.
She gets rewards too.
This was good news.
Translation skill.
It was one of the most necessary skills for Hanna right now.
“Level 2?”
Something was strange.
Wasn’t level 1 the max level for the translation skill?
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door with perfect timing.
“Come in.”
Creak.
Eira opened the door and came in.
She was still in her neat butler’s uniform, with a stoic expression.
“How would you like your breakfast?”
“I’ll eat later.”
“Yes, I will prepare it then.”
After a short conversation, Eira slowly bowed and backed out of the room.
I looked at Hanna.
Since she got the translation skill, she must have understood the conversation just now.
That’s what I thought, but Hanna’s expression was strange.
“Did you understand?”
“Uh… a little.”
“A little?”
“I can roughly understand the word ‘eat’…”
What is this?
Could the skill’s efficiency be different?
The level itself was higher than mine, but the translation performance was lower.
She could only hear, and she couldn’t even think about speaking.
I had to find out more about this difference later.
“…Still, this will help when studying English, right?”
“Uh… I guess so.”
I had a serious expression about this difference, but Hanna answered optimistically.
Seeing that, I smiled along with Hanna.
Yeah, let’s focus on the fact that we can get skills for now.
We both got up and headed to the dining area.
In this mansion, everyone basically gathered to eat.
Except for the elderly couple who made the meals.
In other words, “everyone” was just the five people who were in the carriage yesterday.
It was still not enough to run a large mansion, but Eira said it was enough.
Eira, who used to handle everything alone, must think that two more people are enough.
I looked at Silver and Victoria.
“W-What is this!”
“Hmm…”
The two had different expressions.
Silver was looking at the prepared meal with a slightly excited expression, and Victoria had a slightly disappointed expression.
“Hmm.”
In my opinion, it was a well-prepared meal.
Soft-looking cream stew and bread.
And thin meat that looked like bacon, and a fried egg that was fried and grilled.
It was a perfect combination for breakfast.
A menu that was neither surprising nor disappointing.
Silver and Victoria’s eyes met.
“L-Look at this meal!”
“Yes… Breakfast is a little simple, but it looks really delicious.”
“Simple? What are you talking about? There’s meat, and the stew has big chunks in it.”
The two didn’t understand each other’s conversation.
The meals in the Knights were probably simpler.
Silver looked at the meal with admiration.
The Duke’s daughter probably ate better meals when she was in the Duke’s family.
As a result, she seemed to feel a little disappointed.
Victoria couldn’t hide her expression even though she was trying not to show it.
The reaction to the meal differed so much depending on the origin.
Hanna looked at the two of them with a happy expression.
“It’s nice that the table is a little noisy.”
“Ah.”
I think I knew what she meant.
The dining room of the large mansion, which could be a little burdensome, became a little noisy thanks to the two of them.
This also reduced the burden on us.
Woong, woong.
However, Silver’s tail wagged and some fur flew.
“Silver, calm down.”
“Ugh.”
Eira spoke, and Silver, seeing the small amount of fur flying around, restrained himself.
He was quite docile, considering the slave trader was fussing about his sharp personality.
Or is there a moment when he becomes sharp?
After the meal, Eira took the two new servants out.
Hanna and I were alone again.
We decided to take a walk around the garden to digest the meal we had eaten.
The neatly grown grass and flowers, probably managed by someone, were freshly spread out.
“We completed the quest, so we can go back anytime now?”
“Why? Do you want to go back?”
“No, I want to stay like this a little longer.”
Hanna hugged my arm.
Fortunately, she had a satisfied expression at this moment.
Seeing Hanna like that, I felt relieved.
Yeah, I’m glad I brought her.
“But I’m curious about something.”
“Yeah?”
“Can you tell me about the worlds you’ve been to so far?”
The worlds I’ve been to so far.
I don’t remember them all clearly, but it was enough to explain to Hanna.
I spoke a little slowly to recall my memories, but Hanna waited for my words and listened to the story with interest.
“Aren’t you going to be punished by God? How many women have you taken?”
“…Maybe.”
Hanna said it like a joke, but I couldn’t just laugh.
I think I’ve taken so many that I can’t even count them.
“…Then, was there any world among them that you felt was better than reality?”
A world that was better than reality.
I thought about it carefully.
I had various experiences in various worlds.
In some worlds, I did things that were practically villainous.
On the contrary, I acted as a hero and received the favor of many women.
The worlds that were more advanced than reality were comfortable, and some worlds were only seen in novels or comics, so the romance of men was fulfilled.
But I didn’t feel that they were better than reality.
It’s like going on a trip abroad.
It was fun and interesting, but I couldn’t beat the comfort of returning home.
I finally felt at ease when I was in the real world.
“Hoo…”
“What’s wrong?”
“I was worried that you might leave me without me knowing.”
“That’s not going to happen.”
It’s funny that I’m thinking this.
I don’t abandon my girlfriend and go somewhere.
Even if I go, I’ll go together.
“Then, among the women you’ve met besides the world, is there any woman who left a deep impression on you?”
“That’s…”
Normally, the answer in this situation would be “no,” but the other person was Hanna.
She would rather have me tell her.
I mentioned a few women who were memorable.
Each time I talked about one or two women, Hanna smiled and gasped.
“Oppa… Let’s go over there for a moment…”
“Huh?”
Hanna took my arm and headed to the back of the mansion.
The space where the shadow of the mansion fell was cool, and there was even a slightly eerie atmosphere.
Hanna, who took me there, gestured that she had something to say in a whisper.
“Oop…”
She stole my lips.
She was excited by the story just now, and she immediately mixed her tongue.
I was embarrassed at first, but I gently accepted her affection.
A passionate kiss taking place at the back of the mansion.
It had been a while since Hanna had approached me so actively.
Usually, we both felt the atmosphere at the same time and kissed, rather than someone approaching first.
“Puhah…”
Hanna’s face moved away, and a long white thread stretched between her lips.
A satisfied expression.
And Hanna whispered softly.
“Oppa, I think we were too intense.”
“…Really?”
“There are onlookers over there…”
Hanna pointed to one place with her finger.
At the word “onlookers,” I immediately turned my head towards the end of that finger.
Then I saw two people.
“S-S-Sorry!”
“…”
Victoria bowed her head and apologized, and Silver hurriedly hid her body, but her rich tail, which she couldn’t hide, wagged.
I smiled awkwardly at Victoria’s apology.
“No, you don’t have to apologize.”
“S-Still, this…”
In fact, those two didn’t do anything wrong.
We just didn’t go to the room and came here to kiss in a hurry.
Besides, in this world and in reality, there was nothing wrong with us kissing.
This is not a public place.
Yeah, those two didn’t do anything wrong.
“Where’s Eira?”
“Ah… She told us to learn the structure of the building…”
“Silver?”
“Ugh… Yeah, as she said, she told us to figure out the structure, and then she went somewhere!”
I wondered if she didn’t know she was caught, but she only came out and spoke after I called her name.
Silver and Victoria’s testimonies overlapped.
I don’t think they’re lying.
“Th-That’s right, I saw it again! He’s a male!”
Silver shouted proudly instead of apologizing and praised me.
A male.
I am, but.
“…I don’t think Eira is trying to teach them properly…”
Eira had been particularly sensitive about her position since before.
When choosing slaves, she only recommended slaves who were not good at housework.
I don’t think she has any intention of teaching the two of them properly.
Hanna calmed my suspicion first.
“Let’s watch for now. If she doesn’t teach them anything even after a few days—”
Hanna squinted her eyes.
“Then we’ll have a deep conversation with Eira.”
A deep conversation.
Silver and Victoria, who couldn’t have understood Hanna’s words, trembled as if they felt a suspicious atmosphere.
