After calming down the young lady, who had been crying for a long time, I carried her in my arms and headed to the bathroom.
“Mana…”
“Yes, I’m here, Young Lady.”
The young lady’s voice was all cracked, so I thought I should, wash her.
First, the body must be warm for the heart to be warm.
With one hand holding the young lady, I fill the bathtub with warm water.
“…Mana.”
“Yes, did you call?”
“…Mana.”
“Yes, I’m here.”
“…Yes.”
While the warm water is filling, I carefully undress the young lady.
…Oh my.
“Young Lady… What are these wounds on your wrist?”
“Ah..! Th, that’s..!”
A wound that looks like it was cut with a thread.. and a wound that looks like something was pierced through.
“Oh, it’s nothing! Don’t look!”
…I see.
“Young Lady. It’s okay.”
“I, I, I’m.. that.. that..”
…Could it be that she was relieving her stress that way?
Until now, it was covered by her clothes, so I didn’t know at all.
“Young Lady, it’s okay, come here.”
“…Aren’t you scared?”
“I’m not scared.”
“Don’t you hate me?”
“That’s no reason for me to hate the young lady.”
Hmm….
It seems the young lady thought I would say something when I saw the wounds she made.
In this case… yes,
While the young lady hesitated for a moment, I quickly took off my outer garment.
It’s a little strange to be in my underwear in front of an eight-year-old. Anyway.
“Miss, can you see my wrist?”
“Wrist…?”
“Yes, my wrist.”
On my wrist, there’s a mark similar to the one the young lady has, a mark that looks like something pierced it.
“That’s…”
“Well… Before I was sold to the Nile family, when I was a s*ave..? I was so stressed that I unknowingly, bit my own wrist, hard.”
I don’t know what strength a little kid would have to do that, but blood was flowing, I had a fever, it hurt, it was awful.
Thinking about it now, I remember the s*ave trader had quite a bit of trouble.
Of course, it was because the top-quality merchandise was damaged.
“This is the mark that remained afterward. It was caused by me not loving myself.”
“…Mana.”
“So, I hope that the young lady’s wound won’t get any bigger, that it will disappear without a trace. Hehe, my scar is very different from the young lady’s, right? The other parts have all healed. This one just won’t heal.”
“…It must have hurt.”
“Right? It must have hurt?”
“A Lot?!”
Gotcha~
I snatch the young lady, who came closer to look at my scar, and pull her into a hug.
“So. I’m worried that the young lady might be in pain too.”
“…Mana.”
“Would it be alright if I take care of the young lady?”
“….”
“Thank you. Then, shall we bathe together?”
“Yes!”
Our young lady is so kind.
After taking off all of the young lady’s clothes, I take off my own underwear and sit the young lady on the bathtub chair.
“Then, I’ll wash you. Young lady?”
“Yes!”
Carefully, with my bare hands, so as not to hurt the soft and delicate skin…
“It, it tickles..!”
“Oh, you have to bear it, Miss.”
“Pff..! Mana! Stop, stop! It really tickles..! Kya hahaha!!”
“Just a moment~ We have to wash your hair too~ Close your eyes tight?”
“Yes!”
Fortunately, most of the supplies aren’t much different from modern times.
There’s shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
…It’s just that they’re very expensive.
But with 10 gold, I’m invincible.
And that’s 10 gold every month.
After rinsing her hair, I carefully apply body wash to her body and gently rub it with my hands along with lukewarm water to rinse off the foam.
“Kya hahaha! Mana! It tickles!!”
“Tickle tickle~”
“Kyaaa! Stooop! Stop..!”
…She’s definitely eight years old.
“Haa, haa, haa, haa…”
“We’re going to get into the warm water now, Miss.”
“Mmm…”
I lift the slumped young lady up and carefully place her in the bathtub.
Splash… A little water overflows from the tub.
“Haa…”
“Please wait a moment?”
“Mmm..”
After quickly washing my hair and rinsing my body, I get into the bathtub, and quite a bit of water overflows.
“Come here, Miss~”
..Are you teasing me?”
“No, I’m going to hug you!”
“…Hmm?”
It feels better to hug or be hugged when it’s warm, right?
You were crying so much just now, so it’s absolutely necessary.
I carefully lift the young lady slightly and sit her on my lap, hugging her tightly.
“How is it? Warm, Miss?”
“Mmm… Warm…”
Haa…. This is nice….. If I close my eyes like this, I might, just might, fall asleep.
“Ma, Mana…”
“Yes~”
“…Why are your breasts so big?”
“Ah, I’m an adult, you see!”
“Adult… Not all adults are big like that, though.”
Hmm… Is she starting to be concerned about it at eight years old? No way..
“But this is just genetics and nutrients… I mean, if you eat a lot of food, they get bigger!”
“A lot of food?”
“Yes, if you eat three meals a day well and have snacks in between. You have to eat when you’re young. Later, when you become an adult, no matter how much you eat, the fat won’t go to your chest, it only goes to your belly.”
“Ah ha…”
“And you’ll grow taller like me too!”
Even though I look like this, I’m 159cm. For a girl in the Middle Ages, it’s a decent… just average height. Of course, I’m 16 years old, so I won’t grow any taller from here.
“I’ll give you delicious meals every day so you can grow taller too, Miss?”
“Yes! I’ll eat well and become like Mana!”
“Yes, yes~”
Our young lady is so cute. The young lady rests her head on my chest and stares blankly…
“Is it comfortable?”
“Yes… Like a pillow.”
“As much as you want, Miss~”
“….Really?”
“Yes, yes~ Only when we’re bathing, though!”
“…Okay, I understand.”
Haa… The water is so warm, it’s nice… No one to be wary of… no superiors…. The best…
“Shall we count to a million and then go out?”
“Uh.. one, two, three, four..”
“Five, six, seven, eight!”
“Y, you’re too fast, Mana!”
“Aaaaaaaa~~~~ Hoooooooop.”
“Pff..! What’s that!”
I get out of the warm bathtub, quickly dry myself, and put pajamas on her.
I should do laundry starting today.
“Mana… let’s play…”
“Aren’t you hungry?” Hmm…
“…Is it time to eat?”
“I guess so… It usually is, but. You go to sleep when the sun rises, Miss, right? So, if we have to classify it, it’s snack time now.”
“Snack.”
“Yes, would you please follow me?”
“Yes..!”
I go down to the kitchen with the young lady, bring a chair to one side, and sit her down.
“I’ll make you some delicious cookies today.”
“Cookies?”
“Yes, I’ll make you four delicious cookies with dried fruits.”
“Dried fruit?”
“…You’ll know when you eat them. You can look forward to it.”
..You didn’t even know what cookies were until now. I’m suddenly a little angry at the previous servants. How could they be so completely indifferent to a child?
I take out the cookie ingredients, quickly make the dough, turn on the magic oven, and bake them.
“Now, we just have to wait 15 minutes.”
“Miss?”
..She’s sleeping. My cute young lady. You can’t sleep here right now. Hmm…
Should the young lady stick to her original sleep pattern? Or should I try to force her, even if it’s a bit much, to change so that she can live a normal life like other people?
It’s difficult to decide about this, even though I can educate her on other things.
Since she has albinism, she can’t go outside while the sun is up anyway.
But if she gets too used to sleeping during the day and playing at night, she might have a hard time socializing later.
Ugh….
The worries of an elite maid are so difficult.
-Ding!
Ah, it must be done.
I take out the freshly baked cookies from the oven.
They’re round and don’t have anything special in them.
But I put in a lot of eggs, milk, butter, flour, and sugar and baked them, so they’re sure to be delicious.
“Ouch, it’s hot, I have to let it cool down a bit.”
A savory and sweet scent.
“Hmm..?”
“Did you wake up, Miss?”
“…Mmm.”
“Just a moment?”
I take one of the still-hot cookies, lightly shake it up and down, and blow on it to give it to the young lady.
“Here, this is called a cookie, Miss.”
“…Sniff sniff, smells good.”
“The taste is as good as the smell.”
The young lady takes the cookie to her mouth and munches… takes a bite.
…Ah..
My heart is…
“Sweet… Crunchy… Delicious….”
“How is it? Do you like it?”
“Yes..! I love it!”
….Ah,
From today on, I will put all my heart and soul into the young lady’s food.
No, I already was, but I’ll add love, sincerity, and affection to it.
“Can I have one more..?”
“Of course! Please have more!! They’re all for you, Miss!”
“All of them…?”
“Yes!”
The young lady holds cookies in both hands and munches, munches, munches.
So cute… like a hamster…
“Delicious!”
“I’m glad they’re delicious. Of course, you should only eat a little of this kind of thing, though.”
“nom nom”
Before the young lady gets thirsty, I quickly bring her some slightly warmed milk.
・Gulp.. Gulp.. Gulp..
“Phew!”
“Haha, you’re so cute, Miss.”
“Hehe… So delicious, Mana.”
I gently dab the milk from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
Mmm, good. That was a lovely sight.
While she was diligently eating, the 8 cookies I baked were down to 2 in no time.
“Uh…”
“Don’t be too sad, Miss. I’ll make you lots of cookies and other things in the future.”
Hmm?
The young lady keeps looking back and forth between the two cookies and me, seeming to be worried.
And then, the young lady holds out a cookie to me.
Huh?
“This…”
“Yes?”
“For Mana..”
…?!
“A, are you giving me a cookie right now?”
“…Yes, sorry… There are only two left.”
Sniff.. Young lady..!
Just how well have you grown!
Those slightly regretful eyes, but even so, the desire to give me a cookie too.
I received it all warmly!
“Then, Miss, shall we each have one?”
“Each one?”
“Yes! Here, say ah~?”
“..! I, I can eat it myself….”
“Ah~”
“…Ah..”
The young lady munches, munches… and takes my cookie.
Cute cute cute cute cute!!!
Mmm..!
I did a good job becoming her exclusive maid!
“Ma, Mana too..”
“Thank you for the meal.”
Waang.
I munch, munch, munch on the cookie that the young lady fed me directly.
It’s just a regular, ordinary-tasting cookie, like usual.
“It’s delicious!”
“Yes, it’s delicious.”
But today, it feels like a slightly happier taste.
