NOVEL WEB Surviving As An Obsessive Servant
Chapter 35
“….?”
“That— could make it harder to clean up. Anyway, I’m better at it.” The Young Master, who had been talking gibberish, suddenly increased his speed. He seemed determined and desperately tried to cheer up. The tone of the words that followed was also very strong. “So, don’t do it.” “Yes. I’ll ask the Young Master as much as possible.” It was a lie to say I would follow him completely, so I was half-doing it. Even the Young Master knew about it. No one can predict what will happen in the future. He didn’t look completely satisfied, but he slowly let go of my hand. I opened my mouth without realizing it. ‘Ah…’ It was disappointing to see the cool, familiar body temperature moving away from the soft skin like fresh cream. So, I stretched my hand out in the air without lifting my hand and waved it. “Young Master. Can’t you touch me a little more?” “…Now? What if someone comes in?” “You can just touch me for a moment. No, just once. Just one more time.” “….” In response to my aegyo, the Young Master looked like he faced more difficulties than the Duke’s first test. ‘Still, he doesn’t refuse.’ My mother, who has cold hands and feet, liked my warm hands, and so did the Young Master. As I fluttered my hands more, the Young Master rolled his eyes as if he was mad and held me tight. Perhaps because the movement was stronger than before, it felt better. Oh… It’s really nice. “… It’s nice.” “….” “… It’s really nice.” My sincere exclamations kept coming. I wanted to do this more, but now it was my turn to do the next thing. I struggled to hold back my hand and tried to pull it out. However, the hand that he held didn’t come off. As I looked at it in wonder, the Young Master murmured something with his head down. ‘Huh? What are you talking about??’ I heard a call from someone outside so I couldn’t hear the Young Master. So I tried to ask him again, but he pulled out his hand. His face was quite red as he turned his head. “Come in.” The servants entered the strangely awkward atmosphere. They covered the floor with a special cloth and piled up the stone slabs brought on a stretcher. There were also familiar faces among them. ‘Uh, he’s the Hyung close to Rimson Hyung, isn’t he?’ In particular, he was a close Hyung at his age. He has a similar physique and personality—. I looked at him with pleasure, and our eyes met. Immediately, he grinned. It seemed as if he was trying to convey something to me. ‘…What is he doing?’ When I looked at it with strength in my eyes, I could read the meaning a little. ‘Re…Uh, so… restroom?’ I came to my senses. I’m just an ordinary extra, unlike the Young Master, who has a buff for the main character. I couldn’t go to the restroom for a long time. There is no way the Duke or other people will come to visit right now, so it is wise to visit in advance when the opportunity arises. Thanks for letting me know in advance! I didn’t miss the opportunity and whispered to the Young Master. “I’m going out for a little while.” “Can’t we go together?” “That’s—” “Why? Where are you going? can’t you tell me right away?” He looked at me suspiciously again, as if I was going to a dangerous place alone. It’s a bit embarrassing to say this to the innocent main bottom, but—I can’t help it. I put my hand up, put it around my mouth, and whispered in Secret. “That, I’m going to the restroom.” “Ah, yes.” The Young Master quickly agreed. He hasn’t experienced the basic physiological phenomenon of humans. But his mother would have warned him. Don’t tell anyone about it, and if someone else comes up with something like this, just pretend you understand it as you do now. ‘In the novel, the Crown Prince found out about it only after living in the Imperial Palace for a long time.’ The Young Master had never revealed his Secret to the Crown Prince. So, of course, there is no way to tell the story to me, who is neither the main character nor anything else. Perhaps while I’m at the Young Master’s side, I can’t hear you directly—. Wait. This excuse will be useful if I need to leave later, right? Anyway, I had to solve the problem that was right in front of me. I pretended not to know anything. “Do you want to go after me, Young Master?” “…No.” As expected, our Young Master is cutely weak against lies. Shaking my head slower than last time, I swallowed a laugh and spoke quickly. “Well then, I’ll be right back.” I had to go down the stairs from the first floor where there was a drawing-room to go to the bathroom. Still, the partitions were well placed, so there was no problem. I also washed my hands thoroughly. —I’ll just stop talking about clean and dirty things here. However, if there are some other problems—. Rimson Hyung was standing with his arms crossed, blocking me like a huge wall. I wondered if he followed me to the bathroom, but seeing the momentum— It really seemed like that. “Rimson Hyung, it’s nice to see you again at dawn.” Well, to be honest, I didn’t really see it. I was packing my things, but I made eye contact with Hyung, who woke up and ran out of the room as if I was running away. And I only heard Hyung say, ‘Hey, crazy brat—!’ After that, I heard the proper name, but I couldn’t hear it. Even though he had something to do in the morning, he sighed as heavily as his size; then he looked at me. “…Whoo.” The ground is going to collapse at that rate. Still, the number one contributor, in this case, is by far Rimson Hyung. It would have been over if Hyung hadn’t come forward and persuaded the other Hyungs with my money bag. So, Hyung persuaded other Hyungs instead of me to join in moving and building ancient stone slabs. Looking gratefully, Rimson Hyung was serious. “You must… Do you feel better if you do it like this every time?” His tired eyes stared at the passing servants. He seemed to have a hunch about many things to come. So instead of telling a lie, I showed a little bit of what I was thinking. “It’s all or nothing. You know it well, too, Hyung. If this goes on like this, what will the Young Master’s situation be?” Even though I only said this much, he understood easily. He would have easily imagined things like the Madam playing a trick on the Young Master’s medicine. So I should have stepped in before that ever happened. “… That’s why you blocked it with your whole body?” Did I… block it with my whole body? I got on my knees, so is that right?? I wondered, but I didn’t deny it. Anyway, I managed to block the Duke properly. Hyung punched his chest as if faced with the world’s most reckless and frustrating man and said. “This punk—. Lobel-ah. You should have spoken to me properly.” “I’m sorry, Hyung. The Young Master wants to take successor lessons from the Duke in the future. However, since the Duke is not the kind of person who will be docile, I think he will keep making him take the test. Should I say it’s a test of his skills?— Well, that’s the kind of thing.” “Who do you think is a fool? I have eyes and ears, too. I’ve already seen and heard that much, you punk.” I scratched my head because I had nothing more to say here. In fact, I couldn’t even predict what would happen in the future. If it’s the Duke, he won’t just take him away after completing this task. “…but why did the other Hyungs put it on?” I leaned my upper body to the side and looked behind Rimson Hyung. There were four or five servants in the shadow of the Platanus tree over there. Four or five, including the third-generation Hyungs. The weasel-looking Hyung, who usually gave me displeased eyes, glanced at me. “Did I bring it? They’re following me.” This Hyung’s words and actions are quite different. He said in a troubled tone. But if it were really annoying, he would have kicked them out right away. As he looked at Rimson Hyung with affection, he clicked his tongue. Still, I don’t hate it at all, even though it is extremely embarrassing. As if they had noticed what they were talking about, the servant Hyungs came running all the time. They all looked at me with their eyes lit up at the same time, they were all big, and they looked more like children than the Young Master. ‘They all rushed here because they were worried about me.’ As expected, I’ve done a great job in my social life—. But why are you looking at me with such an admirable eye? “Lobel! Please tell me the Secret!” … Secret? “You, I heard Young Master will take you to the capital!” “How in the world did you trick the Young Master?! If you do well, you’ll get a piece of Denkart’s property—.” Rimson Hyung’s glaring eyes blurred the Weasel Hyung’s words. He has a very consistent character. Anyway, my head hurt when the Hyungs bombarded me with questions about how I built such a close relationship with the Young Master. Now that I see it, it seems that they came not because they were worried about me but because they were envious and curious to receive the Young Master’s trust—. The world is really tough. “I’m busy right now, so I’ll tell you later.” I was disappointed and tried to leave. But then, Rimson Hyung, who was yawning with his head tilted, suddenly made a serious expression. “….” At that moment, the pressure of the air changed. At the same time, the Hyungs, who were joking around asking me to tell them the Secret, all shut their mouths all at once. Well— It seems that someone else received a true education from Rimson Hyung while I was away. Rimson Hyung patted me on the back with a playful expression in the heavy silence. “Come on.”
