Chapter 32 : If the plan fails, its fate

Aileen didn’t stop along the way, quickly making her way to Schiller’s room.
Along the way, she seemed still uneasy, occasionally looking back to see if anyone was following her.

It wasn’t until she confirmed that no one was around that she cautiously pushed open Schiller’s door, and then carefully closed it behind her.

“Hmph, just as I thought, she’s hiding some secret from me!” Sheryl peeked out from behind a pillar in the shadows. She had followed the sneaky Aileen all the way here, as expected.

“What should I do next?” She quickly considered. “Break down the door?”

Breaking down the door was an option, but she wasn’t confident she could defeat Aileen.

There was a level gap between them.

A battle of skill? Perhaps, but the cost would not be low, and Aileen had Schiller’s help now.

“I just don’t want to make a move against him.”

The girl folded her arms and fell into deep thought.

Just as Sheryl was pondering her strategy, Aileen tiptoed out of the room. She first looked around, then closed the door with relief.

“Oh no!” Sheryl’s ponytail twitched. If she was found out to be pretending, the whole plan would be ruined!

She was about to sneak back and continue her “deep sleep,” but then she saw a maid walk up to Aileen.

The maids of the Viscount’s manor all seemed to possess some strange skill, in Sheryl’s opinion. They always seemed to know who was where.

“Lady Aileen, Mr. Gavin invites you to a meeting.” With that, she pulled a letter from her bosom.

Aileen’s eyes widened at the sight of the letter, then she crumpled it into a ball, her lips moving slightly.

[Fire]

Flames burned, and countless ashes floated in the air.

She didn’t even flinch as the flames licked her fingers.

“What’s that woman doing?” Sheryl looked at her with confusion.

Aileen stood rooted to the spot, her outstretched hand frozen in mid-air, before she pulled it back.

After confirming the maid had disappeared, she opened Schiller’s door again.

Sheryl quietly pressed her ear to the door, holding her breath to hear their conversation as clearly as possible.

Inside the room

“Young Master, this is bad! There’s still time to call off the operation!”

“What nonsense are you talking about? The drug has been administered, the pants are already off, and you’re telling me the plan has changed?!”

“Sergeant Aileen, requesting to withdraw from the mission!”

“Ha, deserting in the face of battle? To be dealt with by military law!”

“Ow, Gavin! That Gavin, he’s asking for money again, and he wants me to give it to him in person!”

“He said, ‘There’s a super hot girl who just arrived, so I plan to conquer her with money.’”

“I think he’s just a scumbag.”

“That guy! I already told him I would never give him money again!”

Aileen made a boxing pose in frustration.

Schiller knew this Gavin. He was Aileen’s brother, the one who had once depended on her for survival.

However, in Schiller’s memory, he was also a rather dubious character.

“Well, since it’s a family matter, you should go quickly.”

Since Sheryl was already unconscious, it was fine for him to be alone.

Next, it was time to carry her to the basement and make her face “reality”!

Heh heh, the world is so beautiful.

“It’s dangerous for you to be alone, Young Master,” Aileen said, her voice filled with genuine concern.

“It’s fine. If you’re worried about me, then go and come back quickly.”

After all, he couldn’t let Aileen see him doing bad things.

“Y-yes! I, I don’t necessarily have to go…” Aileen showed a heavy expression.

“How about this,” Schiller patted her shoulder. “If you dislike him, just cut ties with him.”

“Is that so…” Aileen’s expression gradually dimmed. She had thought the Young Master would surely stop her.

“Young Master, what do you think of me?”

She gritted her teeth, seeking an answer from Schiller.

“What do I think? That goes without saying. Aileen, from the day you became my personal maid, you became my family.” He gently stroked Aileen’s pink hair, as if encouraging her.

“If you’re worried about that, then let me be your family. Go on, it’s alright. If you’re sad, you can always come to me to be spoiled.”

“In this world, family is not just your burden. I can also bear your existence.”

Schiller knew that Aileen had some resistance to the word “family,” but it was okay. He just had to change her perspective little by little.

As the saying goes, time heals all wounds. Schiller thought that since he had already become family to a certain tsundere, adding one more probably wasn’t a problem.

Compared to an older sister, Aileen was more like a younger sister.

“Ow, hehe, I understand…”

“Sergeant Aileen, I guarantee to complete the mission!”

With that, she opened the door and walked out.

“Next, is it time to deal with Sheryl…”

‘Young Lady, it’s all your fault… you like me too much!’

Although he had lost his reliable helper Aileen, the plan was undoubtedly proceeding smoothly.

That’s right, although all his plans had not gone so smoothly since coming to this world, this time, and only this time, the plan was on the verge of success.

“And carrying an unconscious girl, even I can do that.”

With that, he put his hand on the doorknob.

Thud!

A faint sound reached his ears.

Schiller quickly opened the door, but the hallway was empty.

“Was it just my imagination?”

He tilted his head and continued towards the courtyard.

Sheryl was slumped in a chair, her brow furrowed.

“Looks like the drug is very effective.”

He gently stroked Sheryl’s snow-white hair. Sheryl let out a soft hum, as if she were itchy.

“Huh? Was that my imagination?”

“Sorry, I don’t want to do this either, but I have no choice.”

If Sheryl’s favorability didn’t decrease, he would be in a difficult position!

Next, he just had to carry her to the basement.

Gulp.

Schiller couldn’t help but swallow.

Looking from above, Sheryl’s snow-white neck, her delicate skin, the faint fragrance from her body, were all tantalizing his nerves.

So, so erotic!

“No, that’s not right, Schiller. How can you fall so easily here? Don’t you have to build up Yuri? How can you give up here!”

“Yuri is sacred, sacred! Therefore, I who touch the sacred am without sin!”

Schiller muttered to himself, as if speaking some profound words:

‘This life of yours has been ruined by Yuri. You can’t interact with normal girls properly. When you’re eating with a girl, you’re always thinking, “I wish she were a lesbian, she could form a band with other girls for a lifetime.” Then the girl comes out in her pajamas and black stockings, asking if you like something a bit more gothic. You pull out your phone and open the official MyGO!!!!! account, saying you already knew the new card was coming out. She’s silent for a moment, then says, “I was asking if you like me.”’

“Ha! I’m prepared. Let’s do this!”

He lifted Sheryl’s light-as-a-feather body, holding her in his arms. Her snow-white hair brushed against his face, making his heart pound.

A passing maid saw Schiller and saluted him:

“Young Master, what are you doing?”

“For the next few days, don’t be surprised if I disappear,” he instructed.

“Yes, Young Master.”

The maid didn’t ask any further questions. In the Viscount’s manor, it was important to know how to live wisely.

Passing through the Viscount’s manor’s basement, Schiller pushed open the dusty door.

Although he had asked Aileen to clean it beforehand, there was still a thick smell of dust.

“Heave-ho.”

Schiller carefully placed Sheryl flat on the iron bed deep inside, carefully arranging her clothes for her.

“Next, is it time to wait for the drug to wear off?”

“What drug?”

“Oh, the sleeping drug I gave to Lil… huh?”

Schiller stiffly turned his head. Sheryl was sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling at him.

“As expected.”

“…”

‘What’s going on? Why isn’t she unconscious?’

‘Oh no, where did the plan go wrong?’

“But, it’s okay, I know,” a sword of ice slowly condensed in her hand, then abruptly shattered, its frosty aura covering the entire room. “I know, Schiller, you were just deceived by that woman.”

Her gray eyes were now as deep as an abyss.

“Uh, well, Lil, can we talk about this?”

Schiller stepped back towards the door, one step at a time.

“Heh heh, Schiller, honestly, we’re already here, what’s there to be shy about?”

She licked her lips and approached him with light steps.

“Not, not good.”

In terms of strength, he couldn’t beat her. In terms of stamina, he couldn’t outrun her.

Her seemingly slender hands, which actually contained unknown magical power, were now pointing at Schiller.

[Freeze]

“!” His feet were quickly frozen in place. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t escape.

Sheryl’s cold, lifeless eyes sent a sharp pain down his spine.

Just as he was about to reason with Sheryl, to appeal to her emotions,

The sound of something teleporting behind him, followed by a dull, sharp pain.

“Rest assured, I will protect Schiller.”

His eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
