Chapter 2 – 1. Starting With the Girl Who Fell Into My Room and the Bathroom! (2)
I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I checked again.
Long red hair with curls.
Haughty yet arrogant hazel eyes. Palely white skin and a young, beautiful face that matches those eyes.
And even a gorgeous dress reminiscent of a high-ranking noblewoman.
It was really Lady Iris.
I shouted inside.
‘Goddess! Thank you!’
Even when you saved my life, you didn’t say thank you.
Now I have said thank you to the goddess in my heart five times.
But Lady Iris’s condition was strange.
‘The dress…?’
The dress was full of knife cuts and stained with blood.
And a very bad smell spread into my small studio apartment.
A very familiar smell. It was the smell of a demonic beast’s blood.
‘It looks like we were attacked by a demonic beast. It was almost dangerous.’
For some reason, his expression looked very tired.
There may be pain from being attacked. The young lady couldn’t bear to see her clothes getting dirty like that.
She was the kind of girl who would throw away the entire dress if there was even a small stain on it.
‘Even if the price of clothes exceeded half a year’s salary of a commoner, I just threw them away.’
Soon her eyes met mine. She exclaimed in an embarrassed voice.
“Alfred? “Are you really Alfred?”
It was a name I hadn’t heard in a very long time.
My real name was Eric.
I abandoned my past when I became her butler.
Not as mercenary Eric, but as butler Alfred. And it felt much more familiar than the name Eric, which I was now using again.
And her joy at being reunited with him was short-lived.
‘Is the lady okay?’
I instinctively felt her concern for her.
At her best, she sacrificed her life to save her. For a moment, I felt angry at the thought of being in such a dangerous situation again.
‘How did I serve the young lady!’
It felt like someone had broken a very precious toy or doll.
Still, it didn’t seem like he was seriously injured.
The shape of the dress was off-putting.
Still, she was wearing the dress safely and her face was fine. It didn’t seem like he was in any trouble.
It seemed like I was only attacked by a demonic beast.
‘You’re welcome.’
Anyway, ignoring the stench spreading through the small studio.
When I got worried and tried to approach her. The lady shouted to me.
“Alfred! Wow, you’re alive! “I’m so glad!!!”
After saying that, the young lady tried to hug me. But she soon screamed.
“Hi!!!!”
The young lady could not control herself properly.
It felt like my whole body had been electrocuted for a moment. She was shaking and in pain.
‘Are you injured?’
But the beast’s blood is green. If the young lady had been hurt, her red blood would have spread all over her clothes. It didn’t seem like it.
Still, I felt sorry for her and tried to quickly approach her.
My mind suddenly became very cold.
‘For a moment. It can’t be like this. Alfred. If I deal with the young lady just like I did in my past life.’
It’s gone now though.
Magi spread from the gate created a while ago. I didn’t even know that I had regained my senses.
I inadvertently got goosebumps.
‘This is an opportunity given by heaven… No, the goddess.’
I had a really, ridiculously good opportunity.
The young lady’s hazel eyes continued to tremble.
The young lady was probably on the verge of being killed by a demonic beast just moments ago.
And she managed to survive and come here.
For some reason, my body doesn’t move properly. An unfamiliar room with no clue as to its surroundings. It was natural for him to be as confused as his current expression.
On the other hand, me now. I know everything about this world.
And everything is in a state of adaptation. Even though this was my room.
‘That means I am in the absolute top position.’
I had a good idea.
Due to Lady Iris’s personality.
Even if you are happy to see me now.
Now that you know I’m Alfred. Once the chaos starts to calm down. As soon as she gets used to this place, she will begin to show off her unique harsh behavior.
‘Maybe we need to organize the ranking in advance. ‘I have to pretend that I don’t have any memories of my past life.’
Sure enough, the young lady urgently shouted at me.
“Alfred!! How are you alive? No, better than that! Where am I? Why are you stuck in such a small place like a doghouse? No, that’s done for now. The smell is so bad it’s killing me! Because I want to change clothes quickly! Hurry! “You’re so unpleasant, I feel like I’m going crazy!!”
It doesn’t seem like a doghouse, though.
But honestly, my studio apartment wasn’t very spacious.
I too am familiar with the smell of that demonic beast’s blood. My nose was almost numb as I smelled that smell in such an enclosed space.
Since it was winter, all the windows were closed.
‘It would be much more painful for that noble lady.’
Anyway, I was a little surprised that you worried about me for a moment.
It seems like her nasty personality is still the same. I was very excited.
And now it’s a different world language that feels a little unfamiliar.
I was ignoring the words of the young lady shouting in Arnster’s language.
A little later, he deliberately made an angry expression.
At the same time, she pointed to the dress that had a terrible smell. Shouted at her.
“What are you doing! Why are you coming into someone else’s house without permission and causing a rotten smell? Get out now!”
Of course, he spoke in standard Korean, not in another world’s language.
***
The young lady’s beautiful hazel eyes grew twice as big.
“Oh, Alfred? What does that mean? Foreign language? I don’t know which country you’re talking about! Are you pointing a finger at me now? How dare you say you were angry at me?”
And her expression was crumpled, just like mine.
“Ugh…!! How dare you point a finger at me… Quickly educate me mentally… No, rather, hurry up and do something about these damn smelly clothes!!!”
It seemed like the dirty clothes and smell were more unbearable than my rudeness.
But it was impossible.
I pointed to the front door of my studio with my hand. They shouted at the same time.
“I told you to get out now! I’ll report you for trespassing! “If you come into someone else’s house on your own…”
Of course, the young lady, who could not understand Korean, looked embarrassed.
But gestures are universal.
I covered my nose with one hand and kept pointing towards the door with the other hand as if telling me to get out.
It was a clear order to congratulate guests.
The young lady’s expression became urgent.
“W-what are you talking about? Ah, Alfred! Did you come back from the dead and go crazy? No, rather, where is this place? I want to wash up quickly! “No more joking…”
But I was adamant.
I opened the front door.
And even though he pointed with his hand, he picked up her motionless body and moved it right in front of the front door.
I am a man with a strong physique. The young lady has always taken good care of her body. He wasn’t heavy at all.
Only then did she realize that I was not joking. Iris’s eyes shook very quickly.
“Now, this is a joke, right? I’ll forgive you now, so stop now… Argh!! “It’s cold… It’s cold…!!”
The kingdom where my lady and I lived. It was a country with a mild climate.
But now my studio apartment is in Seoul. It was February, spring had not yet arrived.
Winter in Seoul is cold. And there’s no way there’s heating in the hallway.
A harsh cold wind blew through the open front door. At the same time, the hallway window seemed to have been opened for ventilation.
Of course, I ignored the girl who was shaking all over.
“Get out now!”
He threw the young lady into the hallway and closed the front door.
Bang-
Although I could hear everything the young lady was shouting from beyond the door. I continued to pretend not to notice.
‘Hold on just a little longer. Miss.’
It must feel so cold to you, young lady.
Since I didn’t take off my clothes and kick him out, it won’t be a problem in just a few minutes.
Rather, I thought about how the young lady’s body looked very unnatural just a moment ago.
‘Maybe that’s why.’
When I first became possessed by this world.
His body couldn’t move properly, as if he was paralyzed.
That’s probably because of the difference in atmospheric mana between the other world, Arnster, and Earth.
Unlike Arnster, where the mana in the atmosphere is abundant and clean. Earth’s mana is turbid.
And north of Seoul. So, the old northern part of Gyeonggi-do was so polluted with magical water that it was called ground zero.
To the girl who is from another world. It is as if poison is spreading in the air.
‘I adapted quickly, though.’
I am not a pure human being. Half of them were demons. Rather, it easily adapted to the turbid mana of the Earth.
Perhaps because of that, I can’t use my mana to its maximum level like when I was in Arnster.
“Open it! Alfred!! My, I was wrong, I was wrong… Oh, I’m freezing to death! W, please open it!!!”
Meanwhile, the young lady desperately called me.
‘I can’t believe I even used respectful language…’
The cold in Seoul was incredible in many ways. It’s enough to make even that self-respecting girl submit.
‘And it’s not just the cold.’
Anyway, let me conclude. Now, she can’t do anything without me.
The area around this studio is in front of the academy, so it’s safe.
A beautiful girl who can’t even aim her body like she is now. If you are left defenseless.
You might encounter some kind of misfortune.
‘No matter how young you are, you probably know that reality.’
That’s probably why the young lady calls me with an honorific that isn’t even in the alphabet.
That pitiful voice sounded so beautiful that it gave me goosebumps.
‘Miss. ‘You’ve become so kind.’
First, I decided to open the door again.
Other people in the building might come out and see. When I opened the door, the young lady’s hazel eyes were filled with tears.
“Huh, huh… It’s cold… Ah, please send me inside…”
I brought her back to my room.
Then, the terrible smell of blood, which had disappeared for a moment, filled my small studio room again.
Even without having to act, my expression frowned reflexively.
The lady who was secretly looking at me. She seemed surprised to see my expression.
“Whew… Why does your body smell like trash?”
I muttered like that.
Even if you don’t understand what’s being said. You can tell enough about the other person’s feelings just by their facial expressions and the tone of their words.
The young lady began to notice me even more.
I left her on the small floor of her studio apartment for a while.
I opened the bathroom door wide.
‘Thank goodness the bathroom is big.’
My studio apartment was small compared to the rent. Instead, the bathroom was spacious and even had a bathtub.
I also hated the cold in Seoul. I found a room with a nice bathroom so I could take a bath in warm water.
Of course, it was very helpful in the current situation.
I carried Miss Iris to the bathroom.
Shootaaaaa-
“I’ll turn on the warm water. “For now, take off those clothes and wash them yourself.”
Of course, they were kind enough to demonstrate how to hold a shower hose and how to use things like body wash.
“Then quickly wash up and come out. “My clothes and body got dirty while carrying you.”
Bang-
After saying that, I left the bathroom.
At the same time, open the windows and ventilate. I anticipated the young lady’s next reaction.
‘He’ll call me again soon.’
The young lady is now paralyzed. She might be able to force herself to wash her body, though.
That’s not the problem.
Since she was born, she has never washed her body by herself.
Of course, the young lady’s maids washed her body one by one.
Sure enough, the young lady immediately called me.
“Ah, Alfred!! “Help me!!!”
