Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

30 – Two People’s Holiday (1)

He asked the moon, but in the end, he saw the moon without a word and gave up and spent the night with his eyes open. No matter how much I close my eyes, I was lying in the dark reality and only looking at the moon, thinking about what to do with her confession and identity during the night that I remembered.

The moon went down slowly and the sun rose brightly, but he couldn’t sleep. Eventually he got up and went out to the living room. Sitting on the sofa in the living room, I tilted my head as I saw Europa sleeping with a pillow.

‘Why are you sleeping in the living room?’

She hesitated to put her hand on her shoulder to wake her up. Is it right for him to stay with her confused mind, undecided on what to do with her secretly overheard confession while pretending to be asleep at dawn?

The thought haunted her and she eventually went to the kitchen without waking her up and started cooking. He simply spreads the oil evenly on the frying pan and waits for it to warm up.

In the meantime, I spread butter on each of the two slices of bread to be used for toasting and prepared the cheese. He cut two or three slices of mozzarella cheese, which is slightly salty and expands when heated, and cheddar cheese, which is salty but bittersweet.

Sirius saw that the oil had spread to see if the frying pan had been preheated, and put the bread in the buttered direction. The oil and butter melted together in the frying pan and the bread was toasting while making a nice sound.

He placed the cheese on top of the slices of bread and carefully lifted them up with a spatula to see if they were well toasted. When he saw that it was brown and golden brown, he lowered the heat slightly and covered the bread so that the falling cheese and cheese could greet each other.

Cheese toast made after waiting for the cheese to cook by reducing the heat as much as possible. Toast, cut diagonally into triangles, was placed on a plate and placed on the table in front of the sofa.

“My lady, have breakfast. I made it simple.”

When he moved her body, he woke up Europa without thinking. Rubbing his eyes and yawning, Europa woke up and gulped at the toast.

“Did you just make it?”

“Of course. Eat while warm. Cheese doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.”

At that, Europa picked up a piece of toast and bit it vigorously. The toast made a delicious sound, and the mozzarella cheese stretched along her mouth. She was amazed as she organized and ate her hurriedly increased amount of cheese.

“It’s really delicious. It’s my first time trying it, and it’s okay.”

“Yes, but there’s a lot of cheese, so I don’t do it often. I’m sure I’ll gain weight…”

“…I’m enjoying my meal, but can you stop talking about your life?”

Sirius kept her mouth shut as she stared at her ferociously. When she finished her toast, she yawned again.

“Did you not sleep last night?”

“Yeah… I had a strange dream last night, so I slept wrong. I sat down on the sofa to calm down and fell asleep. What is it…”

“Today is a holiday, so take it easy. I won’t say anything even if you take a nap.”

“Then let’s sleep a little longer… I think you slept well.”

“No, I woke up in the middle too. It was around 1…2 In the morning…”

At those words, Europa’s complexion turned pale. Thinking that he might not have heard what he said yesterday, he just stared at his face.

Sirius was unable to follow her words as she stared at herself. The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds, then opened their eyes with an awkward movement.

“Then…I’ll go clean up. You too…Get some rest…”

“Oh, um, maybe…”

She was lying on her sofa, twisting her hair for no reason. The confession she made last night was kicking the air like a black history why she did it now. Sirius, who was arranging the dishes without even looking at them, accidentally dropped the cup that came with it while putting it on the shelf.

He stared blankly at it, not even thinking of grabbing it, but suddenly came to his senses only after he fell to the floor and shattered the cup. Surprised by the loud noise, Europa, who came to the kitchen, shouted.

“What’s going on? Are you okay?”

“It’s okay. I accidentally broke it when I was putting the plate in. I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s okay as long as you don’t get hurt. It’s not even a prized cup.”

After cleaning up the broken cup, Sirius behaved strangely. He made the mistake of adding sugar instead of salt to the seasoning he was making for lunch, nearly knocked off an ornament while cleaning the furniture, and just sat there blankly at the window and stared out.

It was strange and worried that such a figure was so, so Europa approached Sirius who was just looking outside and asked.

“You look weirder than usual. Are you okay?”

“…It’s okay…”

“Aren’t you not enough sleep? Shall we take a nap together?”

“…No…I’ll just get some fresh air…”

“That, yes…”

Sirius weakly opened the front door and went outside. Europe, who couldn’t bear to hold on to it, sat on the sofa and wondered what he would look like if he couldn’t sleep.

“…You really didn’t hear what I said…”

She looks up at her ceiling and puts her heart on the line. She went back to her bed to get some sleep and heard a knock on her door. If it were Sirius, he would have gone out with the key, and he would have come in on his own even if he had left the door open.

“Wait a minute!”

She quickly changed into her casual clothes. Wearing a light pink long dress that was comfortable to wear and didn’t look like she was wearing it, she greeted her unexpected guest.

“…Have you had a good rest?”

It was Neferi, a woman wriggling in front of her door with a little red box, her shaggy hair, a white shirt, a black vest, and a checkered skirt that barely reached her knees.

“Uh, what happened?”

Nefeli smiled lightly at Europa, who made an unexpected expression at her appearance. Even though her smile was small, she was sincere because of the things she had done to her since yesterday.

“I just came to hang out yesterday to apologize again and to get along with you. But I can’t see your butler?”

“It’s a holiday, so I let him rest for a while. He looked exceptionally tired today, so he asked if he was okay, so he went out to get some fresh air.”

“Aha, that’s right. Oh right. This is my favorite. It’s sold in a famous place in the capital. Let’s eat together!”

Said Neferi, holding out her box from her hand. Seeing that, Europa smiled as she remembered the time when Shaula came to her room.

“Yeah, ah. Shaula wants to eat with me too? It’s right next door.”

“If it’s Shaulla… She doesn’t look well… She spilled a nosebleed on the way with me yesterday. She says it happens sometimes, she says she’s fine and she just doesn’t like her.” I went to my room, but…”

“Really? What’s so good about every day? Just looking at my face, what’s the matter with that greasy kid… Well, I’ll ask later. Then come in. I was rudely responding at the door.”

“hehehe, excuse me.”

Only then did Nefeli smile brightly. When Europa finally saw the face she had seen her when they first met her, she laughed as well.

People are controlled by this feeling of love and become beasts capable of doing anything, and sometimes they become more affectionate than anyone else.

More than any other emotion, it is passionate like a blazing fire, sensitive like glass that shatters when squeezed, dangerous like permeating poison, but sweeter than any other fruit.

I made the young lady harbor the poison of love in her heart. And that love was roaring like fire now.

I still can’t receive that love.

I was afraid that if I rejected that love, the love she had for me would shatter like glass. Why is a person who should have dreams sweeter than fruit with love love me?

I let out a sigh at the thoughts rushing through me. If I had been asleep, I would have been able to deal with the lady comfortably without these complicated thoughts.

The unruly foot arrived in front of the library before I knew it. When I set foot in the library, which is open even on holidays, people started to see the library where I was the only one on the first day. And there were some familiar faces among them.

“Shaula…?”

“Oh, Sirius. I didn’t expect to see you here? You seem to like books.”

“Yes, I hear it from time to time. I tend to read it before sleeping with the lady.”

“Yes? You read and sleep together? How do you read together?”

Is there something wrong with my words? Shaulla, her face shoved and her eyes sparkling, took a few steps back in embarrassment. When I raised her hand and gestured to her to stay away, she coughed and asked again.

“…So how do you read together?”

“When I’m sleepy, I tend to change into my pajamas and sit down on the sofa to read comfortably. I read aloud when a lady sits next to me and asks me to read lines while reading a book.”

At my words Shaula stumbled and grabbed her nose. Her breathing became rough and her eyes frightened as they popped open as if she could see them.

…Why are you doing this man…

“You don’t hesitate to do something like that?”

“You think it’s natural for a butler to do it for the lady?”

“Didn’t you think about how she looks between a man and a woman?”

“That’s…”

She was speechless. Seeing her between a man and a woman, Sam is already acting like a lover. Realizing that, my face heated up. Since she is not aware of that and acts like that, the lady has no choice but to be mistaken.

“I didn’t think of that…”

“Ah, it’s okay! I’m not blaming you, I just asked. It’s a pity that I can’t hear such an important story, but this should be enough…”

“…What do you mean immediately?”

“No! Nothing.”

“It is quiet in the library.”

She said that Mr. Libel had approached and stood next to us, glaring at us alternately with one-eyed eyes. Me and Shaula kept our mouths shut and nodded her head two or three times. Seeing that she was satisfied with seeing me and Shaula, she turned and moved her feet to another study, and when she hid her figure, she let out a sigh of relief.

“Didn’t you get scolded by Shaula-sama?”

“It’s because you said such nonsense. What book did you come to pick up?”

“I didn’t choose…I just came here after walking around because the lady told me to rest on my day off.”

“I see…I thought you were going to be together for the holidays?”

“I just came out to get some fresh air…”

“Aha, yes. If you have something to sing, please find it in the romance section over there. It’s been a while since I’ve had a hobby.”

She moved to another study while stretching her body. So what book should I read? The moment I was thinking of making it an interesting novel that would be good to read with the young lady or looking at the best-selling section, there was a book that caught my eye.

「The Suspicious Mansion of Will and Gil」

As in the previous book, “The Cranky Trouble of Will and Gil,” The cover had a picture of a gray-haired young man and a brown-haired young man staring at a lighted mansion on a full moon night.

…Count…? Did you release a sequel…?

I didn’t know who would pick it up, so I picked it up.

How else can you put up with this?

“More than that, you, Europa, are really strong. I never dreamed that you could turn the situation around at once while blocking my attacks to the end. Even thinking about the attack on my side now makes me shiver.”

Nefeli ate a cookie and stroked her side brightly. Europa opened her mouth to the cup of tea she was drinking.

“Is your side okay? Shouldn’t you go to church?”

“Well, not to that extent. Yesterday after sending Shaula away, I went to the infirmary and was scolded by the teacher, but I was treated well. It was amazing that I recovered neatly without any bruises!”

If she were an ordinary person, her ribs would have been broken, but her Europa blow was still there, but she is also a scion of the twelve pillars. Thanks to the training she received within the family and her strong musculature, she was able to recover without much strain.

“Then I’m glad. More than that, the one you brought is delicious. Where did you buy it from?”

Said Europa, eating one of her cookies from the box she brought. At that, she explained as if she liked the grinning Nepeli.

“If you go south a little further from the market, you will find a large place called Milky Way Bakery. I bought it there. Aside from these, ordinary breads are also better than other bakeries?”

“I’ll have to ask him to buy one next time. No, I’d rather go with him. I don’t know what’s out there…”

“You can just buy anything, but you have to go there.”

“…Because I’m curious about what’s there.”

Her face slightly flushed, she drank her tea while making excuses. She found the moderately cooled black tea easy to drink, and slurped it into her mouth.

“Well, if it’s Europa, that’s it. Europa, how can I become strong like you?”

Her mischievous eyes gave off a serious look. Upon receiving her gaze, Europa slowly put down her teacup and responded with the same gaze as hers.

“Since my butler officially became a butler, I trained often, though I can’t say… Every day.”

“A servant of the Taurus family… That’s also due to sparring with the butler… Then that’s possible…”

“And I became stronger for the people I want to protect. It’s still a long way, but I’m starting to see a little way.”

Europe looks at the remaining black tea in the cup. The little remaining black tea showed at the bottom of the cup. Nepheli stared at him in admiration.

“That’s amazing…You only ran forward for the person you wanted to protect. Besides, you started to see the road, so that’s great. So, who is the person you want to protect?”

“…”

Europa, blushing, couldn’t meet his eyes and took a cookie and chewed it. Seeing this, Nepheli laughed sinisterly.

“Are you the kind of person you like?”

Europe silently nodded at those words. Her face was that of a girl in love. She nodded as if she was satisfied with Neferi and she herself was about to drink her tea as her door opened.

“Oh, the guest… Ah, this time it’s Mr. Nefeli.”

“Ah, are you here? Are you feeling well?”

“Yes, as I said earlier, I got some fresh air and it was fine. I also went to the library and found an interesting book.”

“What kind of book is this? Ahahahaha, there’s a second volume to this one.”

As soon as Sirius arrived, Nefeli saw that Europa, who was walking out to meet her with a tabi, smiled brighter than when she was talking to her.

‘It was like that… It was like that…”

She sits alone at the table, eating her cookies. She watches the two of them converse. On her face, she has the face of a girl reading a romance novel.

Because she was a girl too.
