3 – Midsummer (1)

“Sirius, do you have time?”

Since the last incident in the attic, the lady hasn’t bothered me much to play. To the extent that after asking if I have time like this time, if I say that I am free, let’s go hang out.

When he saw me being scolded by the butler, he did not look good. Because he was scolded because of him, his expression as if he was stabbed in the heart was all revealed.

“Yes, all you need to do is hang this laundry, lady.”

He replied with a bright smile and hung the laundry one by one on the laundry line. The girl’s sky-blue dresses moved with the wind.

FYI, I no longer play hide and seek. In addition to being scolded by the butler, this is the result I got because I asked for it. Thinking that there was no need to wander around the mansion now, he smiled brightly.

“Then can I help you!?”

“No, lady, just sit there on the stump.”

“Oh, why? It’ll be over quickly if two people do it.”

The young lady sat on the stump with her mouth sticking out, shaking her feet as if bored and resting her chin on her hands. She sighed as she seemed to protest that she didn’t like it, and she said.

“Have you thought about what the butler will say if he sees it?”

“…No…”

“If I don’t tell you, you’ll know, right?”

“Yes…”

As expected, when I talk about the butler, I put on a sullen expression. He smiled secretly so she couldn’t see her, and started to finish drying her laundry.

Perhaps it was all the clothes the young lady wore, and the laundry was quickly hung out. She picked up the laundry basket and turned her gaze to the young lady, who was sitting on a stump and dozed off.

She’s been sleeping poorly lately, and I’ve occasionally seen her dozing when we’re together on weekdays, and she’s been asleep all Saturday morning. She waited quietly for her to get up, worried that the class she was taking would be difficult.

It’s already been 5 months since I came to this world. The cold winter has passed, the warm spring has passed, and summer, the season of greenery, is approaching.

I moved her body hard to bury her anxious thoughts in her corner, but crawled up during this free time or before going to bed.

Why did I come here? What does it mean to come to a time period before what you read? What kind of person am I possessed by? Could it be a previous life? The more I act, the more a different future will be drawn.

Around the time the anxious thoughts trailed after her tail, the young lady stretched her body and yawned.

“Haaa~ Did I fall asleep?”

“Yes, he shook his head and slept well. He must have been very tired lately.”

“Yeah, I’m going to sleep wrong these days. I slept well last time I held Sirius.”

“No.”

“Sheesh, you’re picky.”

You stick out your mouth enough to ruin that pretty face. I don’t mind sleeping together, but I’m afraid to see the faces of the butler and the count.

Seeing him grunting and kicking the stump, he said with a sigh.

“Haa, if that’s the case, ask the butler for permission.”

“Really? Nothing else to say later?”

“Yes, I’m not talking about the butler.”

There’s no way the butler would allow it in the first place. Without even thinking about it, the lady dragged me to the butler’s office. And the result.

“Of course not.”

“Strict!”

“It can’t be helped.”

This is a natural result. The count’s daughter and the servant sleep in the same bed? Unless it was an escort knight that was said to be the offspring of other nobles, it was obvious that rumors would spread because he slept with a servant.

“Sirius is my servant. I can do whatever I want, so why not?”

“As I said, it can’t be helped. You don’t want to spread even strange rumors about nobles and servants sharing the same bed…”

“Why Sirius? You slept together in the attic the other day? And he’s been sleeping the wrong way lately.”

It’s a situation that the young lady pushed through and created, but it’s also shameless. When the young lady rubbed her eyes and saw her yawning, the owner of the house took off her glasses for a moment, stroked her eyelids a couple of times, and sighed.

“What do you think, Count?”

“It’s exciting. I don’t like seeing my dad who always tells me to pay attention to class.”

The sound of something collapsing came from the next room. That’s right, the next room was the count’s office. After a few minutes of argument, it ended with the butler’s victory.

It’s a natural result.

The young lady, unable to control her anger, stamped his feet and went to her room. The owner of the house sighed and shook his head as he looked at me.

“…Sirius…”

“I’ll be careful…”

“No, that’s all right. I heard that you and the young lady slept in the same bed at that time because the young lady did it on her own, so it must have been force majeure. When the young lady goes to class in the future, I’ll have to train my stamina.”

“Okay.”

“Then go. The lady seems very angry, so let her go.”

I put on my glasses again and greeted the butler, who was watching the work, and went to the lady, but the door was firmly closed and could not be opened.

I didn’t want to see my face, and the other maids even ordered me to wait on them, so I went back to my room cautiously.

Like that, the evening came and I thought that the day passed safely today as well.

“…Why are you here, young lady?”

She saw the girl come up to my attic in her pink pajamas and holding her pillow she was using. She turned her head to the desk at her piercing gaze as if she hadn’t resolved her anger yet.

His thumping steps slowly made their way to the bed and lay down on my bed with a thud.

“I’ll sleep here. Sirius should sleep soon too.”

“…That study…”

“Come on.”

Ah, please miss.

I couldn’t stand the unmatched stare, as cold as a winter wind, and ended up lying in bed. As soon as I lay down, I sighed when I saw the young lady who fell asleep holding me.

I’m not a body pillow, lady.

Eventually, in the morning and before I went to wash up, she had to escort the lady to her room. The clothes she had been wearing for her nightgown were drenched in drool, just like the last time.

Not accepting the complaints of a young age is one of the crooked ways, so I thought it would be okay for a day or so.

That was my mistake. The lady came to my room every day and slept with me. I had a more difficult morning routine, but the lady seems to have a good night’s sleep.

It’s enough if the lady is happy. The butler seems to have noticed, but it was an atmosphere of deliberately keeping quiet after seeing the state of the lady.

Summer came one day when such a peaceful daily life was repeated.

#

Employees gather and chat lively. Every year around this time, the Goyang Festival, when the Empire officially announces the beginning of summer, is right around the corner, so they seemed excited. It was the same with our lady who was riding the atmosphere.

“Goyang’s Day is one of the greatest anniversaries of the empire! Festivals are held in each territory to celebrate this season when the sun symbolizing the empire rises the highest and longest!”

“It must be fun. So it seems Christine and Leona were excited about the festival earlier.”

I saw him talking while putting on makeup while passing by. Christine was drawing eyeliner to accentuate her eyes, and Leona was applying powder to cover up her freckles.

Well, the two of them were pretty enough, so even in moderation, they had an impression worthy of attention.

“That’s right, it’s open like that, but we can’t miss it either, right? We’re the owners of the territory, so we’re sorry if we fall in!”

Ahem, a girl who proudly spreads her breasts. Good luck, good luck They clapped. Mate mate mate.

As the lady said, we did not participate in the festival in the Pleiades territory, our family’s territory, until evening. It was my first time outside the mansion, so I looked around.

Thousands of people, both young and old, dressed in light clothes suitable for summer and carried sun-shaped lights, were walking around noisily.

Our party was accompanied by me, the young lady, and the escort driver, Mr. Gliese.

At an age that seems to have exceeded the terms and conditions, he has dark blue hair cut short and wears light leather armor and an arming sword around his waist. He is the second son of the Lepus family. It is said that he was accompanied by a young lady.

Comparatively, since I was on my way out of the mansion for the first time, it was the first time I had seen Mr. Gliese today. In a situation that might have been awkward since it was our first meeting, Mr. Gliese grinned as if he noticed me.

“That’s right, Sirius said this is the first Father’s Day? Have an unforgettable Mother’s Day.”

He chuckled and patted my back. As expected of an escort knight, his body staggered forward whenever his savage hands beat. He had a hard time controlling his body, but the atmosphere was better and he was more comfortable to deal with.

“Yes, sir. Thank you.”

We walked slowly and enjoyed the festival. The young lady took out where she bought the sun-shaped light, took it out, handed it to me, and proceeded along the street with a dignified step.

I hurriedly followed her and used a flashlight to illuminate the way ahead.

While enjoying the food at the street vendors, I wiped my mouth full of sauce, and I was amazed at the magic of the wizards.

Some of the street vendors recognized the young lady and greeted her. They saw the young lady saying that she had seen her last year and this year as well, and thanked her for staying at her family’s estate.

I wonder if it’s that much fun, her bright smile on her face was shining brighter than the sun-shaped lights. She was such a pure and beautiful young lady, but when she first met her main character, Lars, she had become such a high-handed and self-indulgent young lady.

A pitiful heart pierced my heart. At the time, it was a novel, and it was just a passing story, but now that it has become a reality, is there anything I can do?

“Sirius! They say they sell the same thing over there! Let’s go!”

Without time to think about it, the tomboy girl was dragging my hand.

A street vendor with countless masks lined up. From the sun-red dragon’s mask to the lady’s family crest, a yellow bull, and a sheep’s mask with black horns and white fur.

In addition to that, as if to say that the zodiac was the motif, masks symbolizing animals such as crabs, lions, and goats, and symbolic constellations such as twins, aquarius, and libra, were painted with nice pictures on round masks.

And lastly, the mask located at the bottom was a round mask with full moon, half moon, and crescent moon at the eyes and mouth, which evoked a sense of paralysis as if the face were attached to an inanimate object.

Inadvertently picking up the mask, the middle-aged man who seemed to be the owner said in surprise.

“Oh, you’re a kid who knows a little bit about picking it up.”

“Is there anything special about this mask?”

“Then, of course. Turn it sideways while holding it like that.”

At that, he nodded and turned slowly to the side. By the time the full moon in my right eye turned around and headed down, the remaining half moon and crescent moon turned around as if smiling.

The mask has been changed to a shape with a pair of eyes smiling and an open mouth.

“Oh, that’s amazing!”

The lady next to me, who was choosing a mask, gave me admiration on my behalf. To be honest, I was also surprised, but since the lady was surprised, I said, “I will.” He nodded his head in a positive way.

“It is said that it is a mask that symbolizes the legendary moon child brought from beyond the north, but if you look at it wrong, it looks like a clown and is ridiculous, so many customers don’t buy it. I’ll give you half the price of the other masks. How are you?”

Price is not a problem. It was just attracted to me.

“My lady, is it okay to use this?”

“Is Sirius really okay? There are a lot of nice masks here?”

“No, it’s fine. I liked this.”

“If it’s Sirius…Then I’ll give you this!”

The lady chose the best-selling red dragon mask. Can you not buy Mr. Gliese?

“Does it matter if you don’t buy a driver?”

“I’m not a child, and I’m past the age to do that. Spend a lot of time and play with the lady.”

I was a little bit moved to see her smiling and being treated like a child. I wanted to make fun of him for being friendly even though we were seeing each other for the first time.

“That’s why I don’t have a boyfriend.”

“Did you say that? And you can call me hyung. The knight is hard.”

“What about you?”

“Hey dude!”

“Ahahahaha! Mr. Gliese!”

“Is the young lady like that too?”

The lady laughs saying it’s fun, but what? The three of us enjoyed the festival while talking nonsense. I thought that the day could go by again quietly like that.

#

How long had it been since they enjoyed the festival while wearing masks, the festival was coming to an end before anyone knew it. People lying on the floor drunk or walking into houses, people clearing street vendors.

Seeing people like that made me feel uncomfortable, like seeing the atmosphere of Daehangno after a university festival. As I was idly watching the festival come to an end, Mr. Gliese approached me.

“Sirius”

“Yes, knight.”

“Together with the young lady, cross into the forest and return to the mansion. Hurry up and prepare.”

“…Yes?”

He swallowed dry saliva at the serious gaze, which was different from the atmosphere he had been joking with until now. That the escort knight, Mr. Gliese, was doing that…Something was wrong.

“It wasn’t long before we wandered around the territory, and there were people who kept an eye on us. There were three of them sitting in the bar over there, two people standing on the right drinking drinks, and two people over there talking. There are a total of seven people.”

“…Is it safe to cross into the woods?”

“There are many empty spaces in the middle to go the way you came. Crossing the forest is the fastest and safest way. Just keep going straight, so there should be no problem. Take the lady and run to the mansion. I will stop them in front of the forest. It will.”

“If so, Knight…!”

I might die. He couldn’t say that. Mr. Glee Jess also knew what I was going to say. He smiled and stroked my hair.

“It’s okay. I’m an escort knight who exists to do this. Don’t forget, the safety of the lady comes first.”

“…Yes, I understand.”

Seemingly satisfied with my answer, Mr. Glee Jesse nodded and pulled out the arming sword that was tied around his waist to check its condition.

I also quickly looked around and rolled my eyes. Seeing that the people Mr. Gliese spoke of earlier were watching us, we hurriedly called the lady.

“Miss, it’s getting late. Shall we go back to his house?”

“Is that so? Ha-am, I’m starting to get sleepy, so I need to go back.”

Seeing the young lady stretching herself and yawning without knowing the world, Mr. Gliese met her eyes and nodded her head. Because no matter what excuse she has to take the lady to the mansion.

“My lady, if you just go, you’re bored. Shall we play tag? I’ll play tag, so you can run away with Sirius to the mansion! Can’t we get caught?”

“Okay! Sounds like fun! Then let’s start!”

The young lady’s eyes sparkled and her enthusiasm was full. When I told the young lady that she was going to the forest quickly, she grabbed my hand and started running quickly towards the forest.

I was relieved to see the young lady running ahead, but as soon as she entered the forest, she began to lose sight of Gliese, who was following her.

As soon as I tried to examine Mr. Gliese, iron collided with iron as if to announce that she had already started fighting, and I heard a rough voice that I didn’t know what to say.

I couldn’t bear to look back. Fearing that Mr. Gliese might die, my vision was directed straight ahead.

“…Sirius…”

The lady’s steps stopped. As if she heard Miss Gleeze and her goons fighting, she grabbed the young lady who was about to turn around and set her up.

“…No way…”

“Sirius! Gliese! Gliese might die!”

I didn’t want to hear it, and I bit my lips at the story I didn’t want to think about. It tasted slightly like blood, but there was no time to worry.

“…I still have to go. The driver asked me to. Take the lady safely to the mansion.”

“But…”

A face that looks like it’s about to cry. What kind of expression was I making? I wonder if she has a similar expression to her.

Grinding my teeth, I grabbed the girl who stopped her and ran towards her mansion again. Even the closest distance is about 5 minutes on foot. If I run, I wonder if I can cut it down by about 2 minutes.

“Wait, wait Sirius! Ouch!”

“Lady!”

Is it because she kept running, or was it because she was nervous about them?

“Are you okay?”

“I think I sprained my foot…It hurts…”

It shouldn’t be delayed like this. Swallowing her heavy breath, he knelt down and showed her back to the young lady.

“Get on your back, lady.”

“…Isn’t it hard?”

“It’s hard.”

“But…Why do you go that far…”

“I still have to go. I promised the knight that I would safely take the lady back to the mansion. And it’s my job to take her there.”

Would my words have worked? The expression on the girl’s face, which looked like she was about to cry, became serious. A moment to drag her injured foot on her back.

Creepy.

As an indescribable sensation covered her body, she quickly got up and spread her body wide so as not to hurt her.

Squeak – The sound of something being cut. Her clothes were cut from her left breast to her waist, and her bone marrow blood began to form.

“Ah…”

As if she had been accidentally cut by a knife, the pain began to creep in slowly. The pain that couldn’t even be said, “It hurts,” Came over me, and as I tried to cover the cut, blood slowly poured from the wound.

“Ugh…”

“Sirius!”

I tried to hold back my moaning from the rushing pain, but I couldn’t. I tried to cover my mouth with her hand. I was dizzy at the smell of blood flowing from my body.

“Oops, I tried to cut only the little girl over there, but you blocked it with your body. You’re a great kid, aren’t you?”

A sarcastic young man’s voice. I couldn’t recognize his face because he was wearing a mask and it was a dark night, but an assassin with the voice of a young man who looked like he was over 20 was standing in front of me holding a long sword.

“f*ck, I almost missed her because of that bastard’s ankle, but I didn’t think I’d come all the way and get stopped by this bastard. I’m really out of luck today.”

The guy lifted the mask slightly and spat into his mouth. I had lost so much blood that I didn’t even have the strength to respond to him.

All I did was sit down and look at the lady and beckon her to go. Seeing my beckoning, the young lady wept and ran toward her mansion.

“Hey~ They run hard~ It’s a flea if you run anyway, but it’s amazing.”

The footsteps of the guy trying to pass by me as if he wasn’t interested in me anymore. My body seems to be cooling down.

Ah, is this how you die?

I was so scared that I couldn’t move my body.

But I know.

If I catch him here, the lady can live.

From noble mtl dot com

If I, a stranger in this world, die, won’t I return to my original body?

That’s how he hypnotized me and moved instinctively.

“Ouch! What the f*ck!”

Instinctive movement grabbed the guy’s ankle and bit him hard. The boy screamed in unexpected pain.

“You’re not a bastard, are you going away?”

He ruthlessly stepped on my back with his other foot. His ribs and spine hurt as if they were going to break, but he persevered.

“Go away, go away!”

My body flew with the pain coming from my stomach, not my back. For about two seconds, the floating body crashed to the ground, sending all sorts of warning signals to my body. My whole body was shaking, and my back and stomach were numb.

The cut was still bleeding, so I drew a picture on the floor with blood up to where I was lying.

“Oh, how hard did this a**hole bite me, I’m bleeding out.”

Did I bite you so hard? Does not matter. Thinking that the young lady would have arrived by this time, I felt relieved and relaxed.

I could taste the smell of blood and the taste of iron as if the blood from biting the guy’s ankle was pooling in my mouth. The taste of blood accidentally swallowed is strange.

It was hot and sweet.
