Chapter 31
31 – There are no empty seats (4)
Sunny weather. It was quiet inside the mansion.
The warm sunlight coming through the window brightly lit the inside of the mansion.
An antique interior.
Clean corridor where not a single particle of dust accumulates.
Beautiful landscape paintings and vases.
And there was a woman.
A white apron wrapped around a black dress.
A dress with a white frilled headband.
It was like a classic maid’s specimen.
Her name is Erina.
He was the only maid in the mansion.
He was also a servant to the owner of the mansion.
Erina felt very good.
She especially liked breakfast.
He hummed her excitedly as he walked down her hallway.
The soft sunlight and the sound of a fountain in the pond from afar.
Lights coming down from the chandelier.
Everything was perfect. It was no exaggeration to say that it was the perfect space for her own owner.
And then, her favorite time has come.
“Master. Excuse me.”
Knock on the door lightly. As expected, there was no response.
The owner of the mansion slept a lot.
I probably won’t wake up until the afternoon at this rate.
Today she entered her bedroom without permission.
There the owner, whom Erina loved so much, was sleeping.
“Master…”
The existence that she loves and cherishes more than anyone else.
The only man in this world who loves and understands him.
The person Erina wanted to be with for the rest of her life was sleeping on the bed.
He closed his eyes in a huge bed.
Erina quietly approached her master, examining her master’s complexion.
“Master. It’s time to wake up.”
He approached my ear and whispered quietly.
Of course he didn’t wake up.
There was hardly any response even when I called my name one after another.
Knowing that this shouldn’t be the case, she gradually narrowed the distance from her master.
After that, it was almost close enough to her face.
As the distance drew nearer, the urge began to boil in her heart.
In the end, she couldn’t stand it any longer and crawled into the blanket.
“Ah…”
As usual, she climbed onto his body and felt his body heat.
I felt like I was about to lose her mind at her soft touch and fragrant body scent.
I wanted to spend her whole life falling in love like this.
I wanted to live forever in a space where only the owner and myself remained.
Goddess too. Even Kyle and everyone else. A world that has all disappeared.
“…?”
She couldn’t understand what she was thinking.
Isn’t the owner already with him?
At that moment, she felt something rising above her own head.
“Ah…!”
Just then, Erina and her master met her eyes.
With her eyes open, she looked down at Erina in her arms.
He stroked Erina’s hair.
A gentle hand passed over her head, releasing the tension in her body.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh…”
Erina did not answer. She tried to speak her, but she couldn’t open her mouth as her whole body melted away.
The owner smiled and put a hand to her face.
Rubbed or pinched with both hands as if handling her dog.
Erina’s body relaxed even more at the act of handling her toys.
Her chest fell with her hot breath.
A light pain settled down in her head suddenly.
“What are you doing in a bustling morning?”
He smashed Erina’s head with the blade of her hand. Of course it didn’t hurt.
She laughed like a fool knowing that she was joking.
“It’s time to get up.”
“Yes. Okay.”
The owner yawned with a drowsy voice.
He stretched out and messed up her hair beside her.
The fragrant smell of flowers spread throughout the room. It’s a pleasant morning as usual.
“Master! Here it is!”
Erina’s lively voice spread through the streets.
She waved her hand with her delighted expression.
A quiet street. There was only her in the city where there was no one else.
On the street, in the building, on the newsstand. No one was there.
Only the master and Erina are alive in this world.
They lived in a world where only the two of them existed.
“Today, let’s go up to that hill.”
Erina was holding a large basket.
In it were bread, sandwiches and wine.
All the food she made.
We have carefully prepared from dawn to enjoy a picnic.
I was tired because I couldn’t sleep properly.
But Erina was smiling with a genuinely happy expression.
Because it’s all for the owner. Because we can make happy memories.
That was the only reason she lived.
“The road is a little rough. Be careful and follow me.”
From noble mtl dot com
With her words of encouragement, Erina took the lead and guided her way.
It passed through the wall and into the forest. Hidden valley among green trees and blades of grass.
She was one of her favorite places.
The sound of cool water and the sound of tree branches shaking.
Every time she came to this place, she could feel the peace of her mind and body.
“I’ll make a seat here. Master is resting!”
Erina laid her mat on a suitable spot.
She prepared the food she prepared on top of it.
The thought that her master was waiting, she hurried to action.
She alerted her to any dangerous bugs or plants.
She checked several times to see if there was anything that could threaten him.
After making her place safely, she called the owner.
“I’m ready. Please sit here!”
Erina looked around.
I looked away for a moment and he disappeared.
In the quiet forest, Erina was left alone.
No one was looking for her.
“Master?”
The voice doesn’t come back.
With her anxiety, she dropped the basket she was holding.
“Master. Where are you…?”
Where did her own master go?
No, when did he come together?
Had she been with him in the first place?
Common sense flipped in her head.
Erina has been alone all this time.
Since leaving her mansion, she has been wandering the world alone.
In her world left alone, she was living in a delusion.
When she realized her own position, her mind became empty in an instant.
The world left alone was meaningless.
I was stuck in a swamp of depression and couldn’t move.
I was in a situation where I couldn’t even struggle.
A feeling of emptiness and hopelessness. Regret and helplessness. Her negative emotions engulfed her.
“I’m so lonely. Master…”
Her body collapsed and her vision was blurred.
The world melted and the senses of the whole body became dull.
And she realized.
The fact that all of this is an impossible dream.
“Ah…”
Erina woke up with an unpleasant feeling.
It was still dark around. Beyond the window, the moon hung in the sky.
When everyone was asleep, she woke up alone.
The room was quiet. It was filled with only the breathing sounds of his master and colleagues.
The blanket she covered was infinitely cold.
Her whole body trembled as if she had a cold.
Erina grabbed her brittle head and lifted her body up.
Her body and mood were a mess.
When did she start falling asleep?
I can’t remember exactly.
Her nightmares have continued since she lost her own master.
It was repeated hundreds of times, but I never got used to it.
On the contrary, her symptoms were getting worse.
“Master…”
I found her owner with a voice full of loneliness.
Still asleep on the bed, he couldn’t hear his voice.
In the end, Erina headed to the bed where her master was sleeping.
She didn’t get permission. She also knew it was rude.
But her body was already moving.
It is an instinctive movement like a child looking for the arms of their parents.
“Ugh…”
I went into the blanket and laid down next to him.
At the same time, the throbbing headache and anxiety melted away.
Grabbed her arm. She hugged her belly and strangled her with her legs.
She slowly savored the warmth she had longed for.
“I don’t want to fall like this…”
The figure of a deep sleep caught her eye.
She was snoring her snoring shallowly from a hard day’s work.
Erina put her head on her chest and felt his breath.
Her chest moved up and down with each breath and exhalation.
The sound of my heart rang in my ear.
A regular thumping movement was felt under her chest.
“Master. I love you.”
She loved everything from her master.
Her head, chest, waist, arms and legs.
Everything, including not only the body, but also the heart, muscles, bones, tongue, ribs, and cartilage.
Voice and body temperature. Character and behavior. Even body fluids and blood from him.
Affection was felt everywhere.
“No one loves you as much as I do.”
I carefully hugged him by the waist. She knew for herself that she was obsessed with her master.
But she couldn’t quit.
The moment she fell from her master, she was engulfed in fear that she would lose her reason.
“I don’t like it…”
Erina destroyed the world.
She took the goddess as her hostage and threatened her.
Dragged her own master into this world.
She lied to deceive her own master more than anything else. She acted as if she knew nothing and she hid her truth from him.
After doing all her things, she was anxious day by day.
‘What should I do if I get caught one day? ? What if the master finds out all the truth… ?’
But she didn’t want to tell the truth, even now.
If he finds out the truth, he will certainly not forgive himself.
It is not enough to be abandoned by his master; he will be lost forever.
‘I absolutely hate that…’
I decided to live as a liar forever.
She wanted to stay with her master, even if she was a bad b*tch for the rest of her life.
But if all of this is revealed.
What should I do then?
“No…”
I can’t. He will never be able to notice.
Only she and her goddess know her truth.
How did the goddess who sealed her in the heavens tell him the truth?
She was impossible by any means.
“Master. Trust me.”
Even Erina was lying. But it was all for the owner.
If it goes according to her plan, he will become the ruler of this world.
He will become an existence that can not be touched even by himself.
She decided to put up with it until then. He persevered as he portrayed living in a world where only he and his master remained.
Like that, a painful night passed today.
