Volume 3 Chapter 3 (1/2)
You ht If you do not know, then you must think If you cannot think, then you must feel If you cannot feel, then you have no other choice but to hope that you have good luck However, so like luck doesn’t exist, and even if it did, that luck won’t take your side If you have no other choice but to hope for a lucky occurrence, then you can only depend on mercy
There’s at least ed If I use Korea as an example, then out of the approximately fifty million citizens, the majority of them all either possess the money or a method to take care of their meals for the day They’re able to survive Mercifully, ironically
Atrociously
The instant you anticipate so alive’ is when the struggle begins Life becomes hard, the road turns fierce, and the world becoround Like so, you return to the prenity is within hell
The process of Ariya joining us was actually strenuous The following day, she abruptly asked me this
“How should I address you?”
“Just call me Yujin”
“I cannot carelessly say the name of my savior”
“Then add a Mr at the front”
“That sounds disrespectful”
“Then add a Sir at the front”
“That sounds insincere”
Mm
“Just tell me what you want to call me by”
“As ht to address you as Fair Grace(恩公)”
“Then do so”
Although I had said that, Ariya merely stared at me
I realized what the problem was
“Call me Fair Grace”
I said that, but Ariya kept staring right at me
I⎯⎯⎯for real this time⎯⎯⎯realized what the problem was
“Refer to me as Fair Grace That’s an order”
Ariya lowered her head as if she were sheathing a blade
“Yes, Fair Grace”
If it was this e of a problem If this conversation didn’t happen in the center of the dining room, while in front of the watchful eyes of all the otherwhile within the crevice of where girls whisper a that I was accustomed to and Ariya herself didn’t seem as if she were concerned about it at all, however, it seems Sii felt as if she had fallen into a pit filled with centipedes
The moment there were fewer people, Sii violently pointed out Ariya’s absence of awareness
“Ariya! Just ere you doing!? Hm? ······I-I, ······ so like that is a bit······ wouldn’t it be bad······ is what I thought······”
The reason why Sii’s voice became quieter as she continued to speak was because she had shrunk back once she received Ariya’s glare Ariya spoke coldly
“Please do not assuhtlessly Theto have to deal with one day anyway Furthermore, I do not wish to requite Fair Grace’s kindness while also being wary of watchful eyes Thus, since the fact that I hold Fair Grace in respect is soht that it would be better to take care of it sooner, so that is why I had done that”
“B-but, even so······ Mm······, ······, that doesn’t make sense! If you really did want to do that, then you should have told Yujin first! There would have been no reason for you to say it so publically like that! It’s just that you have a pathetic sense of awareness! You lump of muscle!”
The reason why Sii’s voice became louder as she continued to speak was because she had hidden behindwhile only sticking her head out fro
“Do as you wish At any rate, your words hold noto me”
“Then ill Yujin say? Yujin, what do you think!? You’re obviously on ht!? Tell her that she was a bother!”
I didn’t repeat the con that I had done for the two of them before
“Ariya, you have a point Moreover, I’rateful towards that open declaration that you’ll help ardless of what everyone else thinks”
“Yes, Fair Grace”
“But it was a bit rash Next time, tell me beforehand”
“······Is that an order?”
“Yeah”
“Understood”
Ariya bowed her head
If you look at it frole, then you can’t really say that Ariya had caused any proble out, then she’d listen obediently If Sii didn’t nitpick at things, then the s that couldn’t be considered problems in the first place
The thing that happened after the dining room incident was an example of that
“Ariya, what are you carrying?”
“My baggage”
Ariya spoke after putting down the duffel bag she was carrying Sii furrowed her brow
“Yeah I have eyes as well What I want to knohy you’re putting that down here”
We were in Sii’s room
“The same reason as to why you left the sick rooh you’re still unable to do anything because of your arm It is unknohether there will be another assault or not so I cannot leave Fair Grace by himself”
It seeue If you read into Ariya’s words a bit, then you would know that I’ve been constantly taking Sii along with me now because of the same reason I couldn’t leave her by herself
“Additionally, it’s also in order to keep watch so I can prevent you froain”
I was in the hs Sii was about to snort but she becas back I nearly broke my neck thanks to that, but, well, in any case, I spoke
“Is it fine for you to live here?”
“I received Miss Sophna’s approval”
“Ah, did she come out of her room?”
“No, she is still in her lab Since she still has her meals, whenever we have business with Miss Sophna, we co it into her food basket, and delivering it to her We receive an anse go to retrieve the empty food basket”
“A genuine hikikomori-style conversation ht for a uess that means there won’t be any problems if you live he⎯⎯⎯eub”
My words were cut off Sii had drawn her legs back and choked me with them
“How could there be no problems!? This is my room!”
“I guess, it would, be narrow”
“That’s not the issue!” Sii shouted and then shi+fted into talking in Korean “Yujin, think This room is small Moreover, you won’t be able to servicelike that, Yujin the ht?”
“Miss Sii, you claimed that that wasn’t the issue but not only was this roo you mentioned but if I really were a masochist, then have you not considered that I would actually enjoy so me while I serviced you? Of course, since I’ this is pointless”
“Well, Yujin will probably be delighted, but if that girl physically prevents that fro about it! I’m, weak”
“I believe that Sii’s strength is on the strong side”
“Yeah, that’s right! But that isn’t the issue That girl has technique With that technique, she suppleth that’s weaker than min······ No, this isn’t the issue either! I’m, alone!”
“You aren’t alone”
I spoke
“I’m here”
Sii looked down at me for a moment Her face becaht on fireThe girl, whose body becas which rapped around aze away from me
“Really, Yujin occasionally says sos sometimes”
While Sii and I were having this conversation, Ariya had been tossing Sii’s stuff into the hallway Sii realized this a second late and cried out in a panic
“What are you doing!?”
“Cleaning” Aria, who had tossed out roughly everything, walked over to us “Sii, Fair Grace I have to et up”
I did as I was told Sii sat herself doith her legs crossed,it appear as if she didn’t intend to ever htened by Ariya’s gaze and wrapped herself in her blanket, turning herself into a pupa again In any case, she still didn’t move away from her bed
“I won’t move! Just where exactly does it need to be cleaned?”
“How long has it been since you washed your bed sheet?”
The blanket pupa twitched
“The air is stuffy as well Have you been airing your room properly? This rooirl that a s around”
The blanket pupa squirmed and twitched
“Just how much hair is on the flo⎯⎯⎯”
Ariya stopped led and crawled its way down frohed and turned towards me
“Fair Grace as well Wouldn’t it have been better if you had cleaned this roo fro, you specialize in every type of housework”
“It’d be rude to arbitrarily clean a girl’s rooht?”
It seeue this time Sii tilted her head
“Yujin, you really do occasionally say sos sometimes”
“Although it’s unpleasant to agree with you, it can’t be helped However, since I will be living here, I shall play my role as a rude person”
Ariya lifted up the bed and set it down outside After that, she brought in a bunch of cleaning utensils and started to dust and wipe the entire roo with her uninjured ars Ariya took out of her duffel bag, she brightened up
“A new sheet and blanket!”
“Then is it fine to live together now?”
Sii nibbled on her lips before quickly turning away
“Uu······ because I saw Yujin’s face!”
No matter how you looked at it, it was because she saw the new sheet and blanket
Ariya shrugged her shoulders and wrapped the new sheet around the mattress Sii hesitantly helped out with that
Like how you could tell from this situation, Ariya was ht occurs between the two of them, Sii was usually to blame Sii was also ill-natured, but since she wasn’t wicked to the point of being untouchable, she was fa herself with how to take care of herself
Like so, the three of us ended up living together A heart-pounding life living together with two girls in a single room which was barely several squarelike that didn’t happen
“I see that Fair Grace is celibate”
“Obviously Yujin is satisfying all of his twisted sexual desires while servicing me”
That wasn’t the case
Like I said, I believed that I wouldn’t get excited for anyone other than Minhee
Except, in thewith me will increase to three, I feel like my heart will pound for an entirely different reason
“Ariya”
“Yes, Fair Grace”
“There’s a person who’s been peeking at this room ever since you moved here”
To be exact, it was Alshi+ The other ether witharea Ariya’s lover, and······
Ariya pressed her hand against her forehead
“I’ll send her back”
“No How about living together with her as well?”
If Ariya was slightly startled by my response, then Sii was incredibly perplexed
“Yujin! Just howto my room!?”
“It will be narrow, but I believe that increasing the nu that should be welcoues we have, the more options that’ll be available to us”
Since this was so that I had to tell Ariya as well, I spoke in this world’s language Sii became red and shouted
“Even so! It’s not like irls increases in this sirl in Korea······ No, more so because of that!”
Ariya beca which rarely happened, and waved her hand
“That will be difficult”
“Because the rooirl, whoirl you dislike?”
“Both are correct” Ariya ignored Sii’s rising eyebrows “Alshi+ is, how should I say it······ she is conteht now”
Conte, is it?
There was one thing that came to mind
“Furthermore, I may lose my composure I don’t live a celibate life like Fair Grace, after all”
For this girl, who’d even sleep while alsolike that, it felt somewhat ironic
“Although I don’t think that I live a celibate life, is that really a reason?”
“It is If I were to sleep together with Alshi+ in a room that’s as small as this, then I will most likely be unable to control myself”
It became an explanation that had an excessively vivid taste Sii furrowed her brow
“Really, I don’t understand Why do people of the saender······? You can’t even have a child”
“I do not intend tothat it’ll be troubling for me Solely this, even if Fair Grace were to co that’ll be hard for me to obey”
Ariya drew a line as if she didn’t want to say anything more Even I had no desire to cross that line
At the very least, not right now
Fortunately, like this incident, all of the chaos which had occurred after Ariya joined us were all things that could be endured Once our situation had been decently organized, I started to make my move
“This is what I was talking about before”
I lifted up a USB Sii curved her body slightly
“Yujin, as I thought, isn’t this dangerous?”
“It’sWe were attacked for some unknown reason, you know? We were, fortunately, able to survive thanks to Ariya” I turned towards that very savior of ours “If eren’t saved, then so terrible would have happened”
Sii groaned
“That’s true, but, but······ what I mean is, wouldn’t it be fine to just leave it to Her Excellency the Earl? You gave her the report, didn’t you? The guards should be ”
“The guards can’t be trusted”
I spoke sternly
“The civilization level of this world is mediocre Moreover, even when Miss Sii was fra and allowed the Earl to execute her unlawful punishment”
“Yujin······”
Sii looked up at athered in front of her chest However, Ariya tilted her head
“Fair Grace, are you not underestion City are actually ht think”
“Mh to capture a certain so to steal the jewelry of Her Excellency’s ht”
“Sii, spasives an opinion that’s the opposite of Fair Grace’s own opinion will only make you a nuisance to him Since you won’t understand even if I tell you this, I’ll borrow that head of yours for a second”
“Hugyaaaah!”
“Continuing on from where I left off, Fair Grace There is a couards As a believer of the God of Equality, Gainu Warmon, there’s a person who has solved several dozen cases I also said this back when you first told me the summary of your plan, but since that individual is there, I’ree with this method”
Ariya stated and gestured at the USB in my hand with her chin She didn’t point at it with her hand because she was pressing both of her fists into Sii’s te onto both of her wrists before speaking
“Let on City are more competent than what I think of theenius The reason why you’re telling uards, then you’re worried that I’ll be in trouble”
“One way or another, I can get aith feigning ignorance and I don’t really care about what happens to Sii, but there is still a debt that I have to repay, Fair Grace”
“I’rateful for your concern, but the impression other people have of me is already at the lowest Not only am I an otherworlder, but I’ainst thethe maids I also chose to stand on Sii’s side Even if one or two s are added to this list, if I were to say it in this world’s ter one to twelve That’s why you don’t have to worry Honestly speaking,”
I fixed the position of lasses and continued
“I’ and it’s simple to handle”
Sii and Ariya glanced at one another I spoke while connecting my iPad to the USB
“I’ to play it”
I then took out a single wireless earphone le pair of earphones which were connected together by a cable I passed the two of the them one earphone each
“Wait, Yujin! I want to listen together with Yujin!”
“My apologies, Fair Grace, but sitting side by side with Sii and sharing these with her is physiologically difficult for me If it’s an order, then I will listen”
I ignored their coh they looked displeased, they shared the earphones in the end
We then watched the recorded video that had begun to play on the tablet screen
〈Aah, really How er do we have to work like this? Seri, don’t you think so as well?〉
〈Yes, but this is still on the easy side right now······ We have prouests scheduled to arrive one after another next month and the month after〉
〈The esteee Haere going to couy······ Yujin are handling the work so well〉
〈Woof! Don’t couy!〉
〈Kina, why do you dislike that guy so much? He honestly works well, doesn’t he?〉
〈Woof······ That guy came from another world, didn’t he? That’s why······〉
It was a hidden ca up while I was also getting accustomed to my daily life here I had installed all of the electronics, which I had brought back frohout the castle I had collected today’s data earlier and was going through them now Ariya looked as if she were in awe
“The ic of Fair Grace’s world······ did you say this was called a hidden ca”
“This is common in my world”
“Even so, this is still a I’ the arding the assailants”
I adjusted lasses
“Collecting information Since there are pieces of inforathered like this”
“Is that the case?”
“Yup Now if you’ll excusethe character sheets and the relationshi+p charts”
Although Ariya looked as if she were still confused, she nodded anyway Sii was already staring at the screen as if her eyes had been absorbed into it For starters, the dressing room
〈I’m tired~! This is all Miss Sophna’s fault! Ever since she shut herself in······〉
〈Shh! What are you going to do if someone hears you!? You’ll become bunny beef, you know!〉
〈Uuuuuuu······〉
The reception room
〈Hey, do I really have to clean the baseers match, but······ What I mean is, Sii left the sick room today, didn’t she? We could also make that Yujin person do it······〉
〈Losers~ can’t complain~〉
〈Either resent Sii or resent yourself for being unable to work as well as Yujin does Hurry up and go down to clean〉
〈Jeez······〉
Dining room
〈Doesn’t it seem like the food has become tastier lately?〉
〈Rayaharder!〉
〈No, rather than that, it’s just because Yujin has been taking charge of the cooking more frequently lately······〉
〈Aresa, you’re really ruthless towards Raya〉
〈It’s regrettable for me too, but the truth is the truth······〉
〈······I’?〉
And
“Fair Grace, do we really have to watch places like this as well?”
Ariya voiced her disapproval once more Sii hesitantly raised her head for the first time since the hidden videos had started to play and looked at me
“Uhree with Ariya, but this location, uh, it’s the bathroos like this that make you seem like a complete pervert”
I pushed lasses up
“The bathroos are said a lot It’s an area where you end up relaxing both mentally and physically Back in my world, there was a time where a real estatesaid so scandalous while in their own bathroom”
“Mm~~ yeah Yujin probably knows more about theoretical stuff But Yujin, think about it Yujin is sharing earphones with two other girls right now You’re also watching secretly shot videos of the bathroom This kind of man, ould Yujin call them?”
A pervert
“In any case, it seems Mari has arrived”
“Ah! Yujin, shh! I can’t oes around with her head held up high so much, I’ll make sure to clearly watch what sort of crude appearance you’re going to display!”
This girl was also a pervert, so she had no sense of shah Ariya didn’t know Korean, it seeh just the intonations since she was looking at Sii as if she were pathetic
“My apologies, Fair Grace, but as I thought, this is the only venture which I do not think that I can accompany you on Unless you order me to, then it cannot be helped”
“If you’re going to back out now, then give me the other earphone! Make sure to close your eyes, too!”
“Let go Fair Grace hasn’t given me an answer yet, has he? I do not wish to do it, but if it’s Fair Grace’s command, then I will have to do it in order to pay back his kindness If it’s an order, that is To an extent”
Ariya uttered and looked atfor so
In other words, this girl was also a pervert
“It’s an order”
“Then it truly cannot be helped”
Ariya pushed the earphone fir while also audibly gulping down her saliva pervert and the silently concentrating pervert both displayed a disappointed expression Though the extent of their respective disappointment was different
“M”
“It seems she came here to just rest”
As they stated, the Mari in the video was just sitting back on the toilet seat with her eyes closed
“Skipping out on her work like this, she really is the worst Even though she foams at the mouth whenever I rest for even a tiny bit”
“She deserves to rest like this It’s true that Mari works a lot, isn’t it?”
“Yujin works more!”
“Yes, and the reason why Fair Grace is working thatyour work in your stead”
“Uu······ I know that even if you don’t tell et better······”
“It is indeed an issue that cannot be resolved with just one’s oillpower”
The two perverts’ conversation had strangely beco si unauthorized videos together
Cut
“Ah, Raya appeared next”
“She’s holding snacks”
〈Uuu, why is it that when I uy’s······?〉
Cut
“It’s Miss Ashya She’s just suess she’s here to skip out on work like Mari Albeit, different from Mari, she’s someone who normally doesn’t work anyway”
“She’s been discouraged ever since Miss Sophna had shut herself in”
“Yeah She’s the leader of the established faction In other words, she’s most likely one of the four people who framed me······”
Cut
“It’s Kina I’ve always been curious as to how she sits on the toilet with that height of hers, aha, she enters her unsheathed state and⎯⎯⎯”
Cut
“Different froly⎯⎯⎯”
Cut
Time flowed by like that for a while Once we reached near the end of the video, Sii let out a satisfied sigh (I’m also uncertain as to how it’s possible for her to contradict herself like that)
“M special today as well”
“That seems to be the case I had no other choice but to watch since it was Fair Grace’s order, so it ice as difficult for me to······”
“Shh”
I shut both of their mouths In the video, someone had opened the door to the bathroom and entered Ariya opened her eyes wide
The one who had entered the bathroo displayed on the screen
Ariya placed her hand on top of the iPad
“All right It seems that’s it”
“What are you doing!?”
Sii grabbed onto the wrist of that hand Ariya turned her wrist and twisted her body, i hold
“Gyaack!”
“Ariya, keep it moderate” I spoke “Make sure that you especially don’t touch her other arm”
“I absolutely will not touch that arm, Fair Grace However, we ht”
Her attitude was firh to remind me of the justice of the Supreme Court Sii complained
“You’re acting differently co orders as a pretext a second ago”
