Chapter 91 – 27. The Mansion Weekend (1)
Eirin stared at the hair. Golden yellow hair. It was obvious who the owner was.
Last night and dawn were spent with Lillia. But looking at the coat again, it was a little strange.
‘There’s no way he has that much hair?’
When she left the treasure house, Lilia followed me closely. But even considering that, the amount was too much for her. It’s like a cat’s hair is stuck. The coat was full of yellow hair.
After thinking about it for a second, she could see why.
‘Lilia must have done it on purpose.’
It was. It must be her marking her own territory. Lilia was well aware that Eirin was always by her side.
Even Ei-rin was much more beautiful than her daughters who were said to be pretty of the ecliptic. She didn’t show it at all when they were together, but Lilia must have been implicitly concerned. So, she is Lilia’s own check.
However, I pretended nothing was wrong.
“Eirin. Why are you so far away?”
And Ei-rin, who saw her hair, shut her mouth tightly. The greeting she was about to hand to me also stopped and she looked at that hair with a cool look. The clever Eirin couldn’t have been unaware of that intention.
Soon after, Eirin answered my words.
“No. Young master. It was late, no, early, so I had other thoughts without my knowledge.”
Eirin looked more tired than usual. Maybe… She stayed up all night because I didn’t come in all night.
‘I told him to go to bed first because he’d definitely come late.’
She never forgot to ask Ei-Lin that since her job at Chloe Mansion. But even her perfect maid Ai Lin, she couldn’t accept that easily.
Because if I didn’t come back, I felt like I couldn’t sleep well like separation anxiety.
I already know what Eirin thinks of me through the previous dark dream. So, I felt sorry for stopping her all of her carelessly.
“Then let everyone go to work. And there will often be things that come back this late. There is no need for everyone to come out to meet me every time. Let’s focus more on our own work.”
At that, all the servants, including Robert, were taken aback.
Like this, every time I return, all the servants of the mansion come out and line up. Because it was a strict order from Yulian, the original owner of my body. This nonsense must also have been an imitation of a military parade.
I spoke.
“Didn’t I tell you the other day? And yet, we got together again. In the future, there’s really no need to do that, so don’t get together. I’m not some head of household or Michael’s head. So everyone, disperse.”
Actually, I have said many times that there is no need for this. The servants of the mansion didn’t seem to be used to my changed attitude. After hearing from Eirin, he said that there were some servants who had been stabbed quite a bit.
“You are sincere. Okay. In the future, I will definitely do as instructed. Young master.”
However, Roberto, a skilled butler, did not vomit any more, and hurriedly ordered the servants to do morning work.
As I watched her, I said to Ei-Lin.
“Then follow me. Eirin.”
At my words, Ei-Lin hugged her coat and followed me side by side. She is a little shorter than the average height of Ei-rin.
But my height is well over 180cm. The coat that Ei-Lin was hugging looked especially big. Of course, if it were the usual Ei-rin, her proportions were so good that she didn’t show off her height.
Ei-Lin, who followed me without saying a word, she looked back at her coat and left her words.
“There seem to be a lot of stray cats near the Medica building. Young master. No matter how cute they are, it is best not to touch stray cats. And cats with yellow fur are clever.”
And she saw a slightly different expression on her expressionless face. I was stunned for a moment. Because it wasn’t Eirin’s expression.
‘I’m sure he’s upset.’
I’m not an idiot, so I knew the identity of the stray cat Eirin said. She kindly referred to it as yellow hair. It must be Lilia
Going back to my usual expressionless expression, I wondered if it was an illusion. Still, the jealousy seemed right.
‘He only does this to Lilia.’
Ai-Lin also cursed at Lilia in her last dream. Unlike the other girls, Lilia was my fiancé, so she would care more.
In an instant, I remembered the case of Lucia. Just in case, I opened her title notification window and checked Ei-rin’s fate grade.
—————–
“Living as the successor of the Demon King”
* Days of pleasure with Eileen Gloria (A+).
: I am walking with a very attractive opposite sex. It just makes you feel better.
—————–
Fortunately, the unchanged A+ rating. Indeed, even during the reign of the Demon King, it was very rare for her fate level to fluctuate rapidly. The case of another main character, Lucia, was unusual.
And that moment. Eirin’s last name, Gloria, confirmed in the notification window. When I saw that, I was immersed in a short thought without even realizing it.
***
I entered my room and a little time passed. Eirin was very embarrassed in front of me.
“Bocchan… Why don’t you let me out now? We have a lot of work to do.”
“No. Okay. This is more important, so just keep doing it.”
“Still, how could something like me be in the master’s bed like this…”
“It is an order. And now the posture looks uncomfortable. Make it more comfortable to lie on the bed.”
“All right.”
Eirin reluctantly lay back on the bed at my words. It was. Eirin is lying on the bed in my room. It was the bed she made every day for me.
I ordered Eirin to lie down on it.
And I brought a small table and chair to the side of the bed and read Ei-Lin’s papers that she had left yesterday.
“Eirin. You must have read this document beforehand, right?”
“That’s right. Young master. There’s nothing special about Harsen… Haam… Suck. Sorry…”
Ei-Lin forced herself to yawn without realizing it. It was a good response. Because I brought her Ei-rin to my room to put her to sleep first.
Eirin stayed up all night waiting for me. But if I fall asleep first, she will resume her mansion business as if nothing happened. Without breathing, of course.
‘A maid who needs a lot of work.’
So, I put Ei-Lin on the bed and lit a loose scented candle to induce her to sleep.
Although I was tired too. Still, thanks to Minchoti’s effect and the newly acquired 3rd tier, the level of drowsiness was bearable enough.
Conversely, Ei-Lin’s eyes were slowly closing. She desperately turned her head around, but she was of no use. She already had a lot to say to me, and she was just about to fall asleep.
“Harsen’s tax for February… As usual… Appearances of monsters and beasts in the territory are the same as in previous years… Incidents… Accidents…”
Harsen is a territory that I inherited in advance as the Margrave’s successor. Of course, that place was not managed by me, but by a faithful viscount who had been loyal to the Reinhardt family for generations as acting lord.
Reports coming up regularly from the Viscount. Eirin summarized the contents of the report. That is the document I am looking at.
It was not something a mediocre maid could do, but it was possible for Eirin. Because she is a talented person who was recognized as the deputy maid even at the Marquis Mansion.
So, the documents that Eirin had arranged were very easy to read because they were arranged clearly even for me, who was unfamiliar with the internal affairs of the estate.
Of course, it seems that Yulian from before didn’t have the slightest interest in it.
Instead, I knew a few important quests related to that place, so I carefully looked at the documents as I do now.
Meanwhile, my room was quiet. I couldn’t hear Eirin’s words anymore. Ei-Lin was still in her maid uniform, and she closed her eyes on my bed.
He must have been asleep as he could hear the sound of his breathing. Still, she read all the remaining pages of the document, waiting for a deeper sleep just in case.
And after a while
‘Shall we move slowly? No. I guess I should go to sleep too.’
I lay down next to Ei-rin and covered her with the blanket. A little while ago, he had sufficiently hinted at Eirin.
Then, with a slight boost to my tyrant’s lust, I applied her dream magic trait and went into her Ei-Lin’s dream.
***
The conditions were very difficult, but the dreamer trait was useful. I was able to move freely in her other person’s dream with my body left to sleep as it is now.
Also, by committing lewd things in the other person’s dream, he was able to absorb the spirit of the owner of the dream.
But for now, I put my shady selfish mind aside for a while. Eirin’s dream, as complex and wide as last time. I was visiting Eirin while borrowing the body of Teneb, the spirit of darkness.
While flying in the form of a crow. I checked the quest with the system for a while.
—————–
* Asmodian Sub-Quest 2 「Devil’s Name」
: Raise your demon-related attributes to the next level.
: Possessed Demon Attribute 「Normal Nightmare (B)」
: Insufficient proficiency to reach the following attributes.
—————–
In order to solve this problem, the dream magic trait was activated. Insufficient proficiency as stated in the notification window. So I couldn’t complete the former quest.
‘Because the conditions for activating the dream magic trait are difficult. It was difficult to raise the skill level.’
For that characteristic, not only did I have to set up hints in advance, but the other person’s sleeping quarters also had to be close to mine. So no matter how you think about it right now, only Eirin is the right person.
Just like now, when the other person was shaken without being able to maintain their composure, the effect of the dream was multiplied.
Because that shaken mind also affects dreams. It was the right time to raise your skills in many ways.
‘And there was something I needed to check with Eirin.’
In fact, that was the more important reason for entering Eirin’s dream.
Just now. Eirin’s fate grade, which I secretly checked before entering my room, was A+. If Ei-Lin was really just a maid, there was no reason why her fate grade should be so high.
However, Eirin, an ordinary person who has not awakened mana. Nevertheless, the clearly marked A+ grade of destiny was an important hint to me.
‘All of the key A+ grade characters I’ve met so far were strong candidates for the nest raid party.’
Liliana Chloe, and Lucia. The most excellent and growing cadets in each division. Especially for Liliana Chloe, I personally moved with the two of them and even confirmed their skills with my own eyes.
If you put such talented cadets as party members. It was only natural that the probability of success in attacking the nest increased.
However, it was not easy to get all party members to A+ grade in Demon King’s Slaughter.
‘Because it was absolutely impossible to capture all of the A+ heroines.’
Luciana Chloe, for example. Lucia had too many variables due to her impoverished property and random personality gacha. It’s because I’ve been spreading out all the grades. And Chloe is also a tricky villain daughter attribute.
In fact, the reason I didn’t like her Chloe was because I couldn’t get her into her party anyway. Besides, going to a bad ending because of that failed attack attempt is a bonus.
And Demon King’s Death was a game that was not real to me. So I tried my best to make the best party, but there was no extreme urgency.
For example, if Lucia is devastated, she moderately deals with other dealers in the battle end.
Likewise, Chloe always failed to capture the other cadets of the Alchemy Order. That’s how she used to organize parties with an assortment.
‘Because in Demon King’s Slaughter, only one member of the Pantheon’s 6 factions was allowed in the capture party.’
And the result of attacking the nest of the party that made it is always a bad ending. There was a hole that wasn’t an A+ class character, so I couldn’t help it.
But now it was different. Reality, not a game. If I fail to attack the nest, I have no future. So, I thought to prepare everything.
Likewise, I had no intention of leaving Eirin alone, who had an A+ grade fate rating.
However, Eirin is only my exclusive maid. So he wasn’t even a cadet of the Pantheon.
Because of that, in Demon King’s Slaughter, I had never thought of including Eirin as a member of the nest raid party.
‘So I’ll have to check that possibility in my dream.’
I arrived at the place where Eirin’s dream is unfolding.
