The Knight Wants To Be in a Relationship

44. Looking for a Maid

***

—Oh, Sword Saint-nim, the dragon slashes-.

‘…… What are those lyrics?’

Sniff a drink while listening to the bard’s song. It’s a sweet drink made with decoction of chocolate, but it tastes bitter.

I felt like I finally understood why adults drink alcohol. The reality is so bitter that the bitter alcohol feels sweet.

“You look bad. Shall I ask you to stop?”

“The King of the Changs told me to do it, how can I stop it?”

“At least in the guild, self-restraint… ….”

“It’s okay. Leave it His Majesty the King of Heaven must have something in mind.”

Rebecca, who brought her request form, seemed to understand that I was not feeling well, and decided to kick the minstrel out.

When I stopped her and sat her down, Rebecca immediately changed her expression with a smile and handed out her request form one by one.

‘It must have been burdensome to dry yourself too….’

“Yes! It’s been a while since Evan came to visit us, so we’re getting so many requests. The recommended route is as follows. Grab a cockatrice from inside here and go around…….”

I nodded that I would follow Rebecca’s advice, put the map in my arms, and stood up.

As I was about to leave for my mission, I remembered that I needed to find someone to manage the dojo.

“Right, can you save people here?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes? Yes, it’s the adventurer’s guild. There are also people who mainly work as mercenaries.”

“Then, please post one job posting. Cleaning, laundry, etc. – As someone who is good at housework.”

“Okay. But why is the job offer suddenly…… ?”

“I need someone to manage my house.”

Rebecca’s eyes twinkled as she heard those words. However, I thought it was the reflection of the light, so I ignored it and left the adventurer’s guild.

* * *

Shortly after Evan left, Rebecca began to have her own wild imagination, chewing on the conditions Evan had mentioned.

‘Do you need someone to manage your house? That’s totally…….’

Doesn’t it sound like saving her wife? He said he needed someone who would live in the same house and help out with me-.

Of course, Evan didn’t say that he lived with her, and he just needed someone to do the housework, not a housekeeper—but that word had already blown out of Rebecca’s head.

‘…… Should I hit him?’

Rebecca returned to her seat for work and pondered as she looked at the pile of papers lying on her desk.

The guild staff who give me a small salary should be eliminated, and she worries about becoming the wife of the Sword Master.

“Rebecca? Aren’t you working?”

“Uh, uh uh-? Huh! I have to!”

Of course, that delusion did not last long. After thinking it through, I realized that there was no way a person of the level of a Sword Saint could find a wife who would do housework.

If I had to argue, a housekeeper who does housework or a maid who lives in the house and manages everything—.

‘…… Wait for a sec?’

Rebecca, who thought she would just post a job posting for a maid, realized that what she was looking for now was a swordsman’s maid.

Countess Jun, is it okay to get a maid who is equivalent to a nobleman like this?

Even more so, the swordsman is a superhuman. A very special existence that any country or any organization is aiming for. What if a spy from another country or organization intervenes in a maid announcement that was made without thinking?

What if the hidden spy conciliates Evan or assassinates him in the unlikely event?

‘It’s a big deal.’

It doesn’t end with simply losing the elite adventurer, the swordsman. In the kingdom, they will wonder why such a thing happened, and it will be revealed that the guild wanted the maid.

The adventurer’s guild will take responsibility for her irresponsible personnel, and she will not be safe either.

Of course, all of this is just an imaginary, less than 0.01% Chance…… Rebecca couldn’t even miss that possibility.

If I had to ask, wasn’t the probability of Evan slaying a dragon at the young age of 15 and obtaining the title of swordsman being less than 0.01%?

‘I-I have to tell the guild leader about this-!’

In this way, the task of retrieving Evan’s servants went to the guild leader, and from the guild leader to the guild headquarters. So, it took less than half a day for the news to spread to the capital.

* * *

After completing all the missions, Evan returned and burst into exclamation when Rebecca, smiling with a smile, told him that the job advertisement was over.

As expected, the adventurer’s guild. Rescuing people in just over half a day. It seems like an organization that finds people and entrusts them with requests.

“Where are you?”

“He’s waiting for you at home.”

“Ah, is that so? How much is your salary or something like that?”

“Fortunately, Evan-sama has applied for the title of Sword Saint. It’s completely free!”

“Uh- I haven’t heard of that?”

There were no such benefits that I had heard from the guild leader, so when I asked her question while tilting her head, Rebecca smiled ahahahaha and passed it lightly.

Because it was such a small benefit, I thought I wouldn’t have bothered to tell you, so I nodded and headed to the dojang, where I could see that the door of the dojo was wide open.

Pain-pain- I hear the sound of something like a blanket being hit hard. Evan, who wondered if he was already cleaning, peeked his head out, passed the dojo, and headed to the backyard.

“Hello… ….”

“—Are you here? Master.”

“…… Uh, uh yes.”

And there, she met a woman in a maid outfit who seemed to be able to see her butt if she bent down a little.

Her purple hair, her short hair that barely reached her shoulders, one side of her forehead that was completely uncovered, etc.—She had such a distinctive appearance that you would never forget it once you saw her twice. Holding her and saying hello to her.

“My name is Penelope, who will be the master’s maid from today. I wish you well.”

“Yes, yes. Please….”

“Then can I finish what I was doing? Today is a good day…….”

“Oh, yes.”

After taking Evan’s permission, Penelope turned her back and began to pat her on the blanket. Every time she slammed her quilt with her strength, she fluttered the hem of her skirt.

Every time she sneaks a peek underneath her underwear, Evan realizes that her heart is beating like crazy.

At most, it was a piece of cloth, rather, it would have been a shield to hide her precious parts——that shield hit her chest hard for some reason.

“Hey, over there!”

“Yes, Master. Please tell me.”

“I think the skirt is too short…… Isn’t it?”

“Sorry. This is all for summer…… If you feel uncomfortable, I will change into winter clothes.”

“Oh no! Are you okay!”

Evan nodded his head in agreement when he said that he couldn’t help it because it was summer clothes. Yeah, it’s summer, so I can’t help it. She couldn’t let the maid down in the heat, wearing long, thick winter clothes.

Because from day one, she didn’t want to be a trashy owner causing such a riot.

“Well, then I will go inside and train! Come if you have anything!”

“Okay. Master.”

Sneak peek – Evan, who was looking at her backside, took her eyes off her with superhuman mental power and headed straight for the dojo.

And then, impossibly, she exclaimed at the glittering seal. Apparently, she was cleaning because Evan was cleaning, but she was indeed different from her expert skills.

‘You wouldn’t know just by looking at your clothes… ….’

As she stepped on the muddy floor, Evan stepped into the middle of her dojo, holding up one of her wooden swords and concentrating on her.

Realizing her heavenly duty, she seemed to see her clue to go further.

She swings her sword to catch the clue. She swings and swings again. By the time Evan’s sweat spilled onto the floor, which had been clean before I knew it, her Evan slowly stopped.

“Ha, ha-.”

How many hours did she swing her sword? She forgot the time and swung her sword…… She wasn’t even sure what time it was.

What is certain is that it has become a dark night with stars shimmering.

‘Ah- I didn’t get bath water, it’s annoying… ….’

“Her bath is ready. Master.”

“Uh, uh uh?”

Startled by her sudden voice, Evan turned her head to look behind her, and there stood Penelope, whom she didn’t know when she came in.

Penelope casually handed over a towel to her, and Evan, who received the towel, looked at her while wiping the sweat from her.

“…… How long have you been there?”

“Not too long ago.”

“No, not that…” … It could be dangerous next time, so don’t come in on your own.”

“Sorry. Master. I will be careful next time.”

“…… Yes, I hope you didn’t get hurt.”

Only then did Evan remember that I had hired a maid, and she went to the bathroom, subtly pleased with the fact that she didn’t have to prepare for her bath.

Evan put sweaty clothes, underwear, and the towel he had just used in the clothes basket in front of him and entered the bathtub full of hot water. .

Even though he’s a maid, the person who just arrived today probably doesn’t know where my clothes are– Evan thought so and left the bathroom again.

“Ahhhhh…… Write, ha- this is the master’s…….”

I met eyes with Penelope, who was burying her head in her sweaty clothes.

Time seemed to stop for a moment.

Evan, who thought he must have seen it wrong, widened his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Penelope, who put the clothes I was holding back into the basket, opened her mouth without even moving an eyebrow.

“What are you doing? Master.”

“No, just… ….”

“Nothing happened. Right?”

Evan was speechless and went back into the bathroom.

Penelope took care of the underwear.
