153 - - Extra edition: Life with Yume 1

Wow. ......."

Good morning, Yume-sama."

When Yume wakes up in her canopied bed, she is approached by a fairy maid who smiles cheerfully at her.

Still rubbing her sleepy eyes, she replies.

Good morning, my dear. Good morning. ......

Yume-sama, the bath is ready for you. Please put your hand in mine.

Ai."

His reply is a mess because his head is half asleep, but he takes the hand offered by the fairy maid and gets off the bed, shaking his hair, which has grown a little above his shoulders.

Yume is led by the fairy maid to the bathtub to take a bath.

The ceramic bathtub was filled to the brim with hot water and brightly colored flowers.

Yume's silk pajamas and underwear are removed by the fairy maids.

............"

Yume thinks to herself, 'Why bother with someone when I can do it myself,' but she, too, is a former apprentice maid in the Human Kingdom.

She had helped Princess Lilith change her clothes and bathe, so she couldn't say that she could do it herself.

I can't take away the fairy maids' work.

I sweat lightly and sink my body into the bath.

While she warms herself up, her hair is fixed.

Yume's hair was washed and rinsed with a liquid soap that smelled good, though she didn't know what it was, and then her hair was washed with an additional oil concoction.

Her hair was only as long as her shoulders. Despite this, it was carefully washed and cared for.

After getting out of the bath, she was washed not only her hair but also her whole body.

Yume is a 10-year-old girl.

She is not a child.

As one would expect, she was embarrassed, but she had no choice but to accept the situation quietly because the fairy maids would be saddened if she refused.

After finishing her bath, she put her sleeves on the dress prepared for her.

The ribbons on one side, a point of attraction, were of various colors, materials, and patterns, and could be changed according to the mood of the day or the design of the dress.

After changing, she had breakfast.

Basically, breakfast was usually taken alone in a private room.

Yume's mouth twitched in dissatisfaction as she ate breakfast alone again today.

What about you, Ni-chan?　Aren't you going to eat with us today?"

Mr. Wright is currently on the ground. He is very busy, so we thought it would be difficult for him to be present. ......"

The fairy maid twisted her beautiful face apologetically and explained why.

Light has many things to do, such as adventurer activities on the ground for revenge, gathering information, meeting with Lilith and her superiors, and checking documents at the lowest level of the "abyss.

And of course, there was no way he could explain to Yume that he was doing it for revenge, so he had to be vague and vague.

She, too, is a former apprentice maid and understands that there is a lot of work to be done if her brother is the head of such a large organization, let alone "revenge.

Therefore, she could not say anything more and had no choice but to close her mouth.

(I shouldn't interrupt her when she's busy with her work. ......)

With this in mind, breakfast is laid out on the table.

The taste and quality of the food is incomparable to my days as a former apprentice maid, let alone my days as an impoverished farmer.

Itadakimasu ......

After greeting the guests, he alone takes a bite of his meal.

The food was very tasty, but Yume's mood did not improve.

After breakfast, she changed into a study dress and sat down at her desk.

Being at a desk is cramped and boring for a youngster.

Yume's lips pouted in dissatisfaction.

Yume, I can count to a hundred, and I can read every single letter. ......

When I was an apprentice maid in the Kingdom of Humans, I learned numbers and letters from the head maid and other maids in my spare time.

From the educational side, it was not out of good intentions, but because it was necessary for her to learn at least the minimum in order for her to work as a maid in the future.

Thanks to her, she was able to count 100 numbers and learned all the letters of the alphabet.

To be honest, compared to other children of the same age (human), she has a better-than-average knowledge.

However, the fairy maid serving as the teacher shook her head.

She said, "Yume-sama is Light-sama's younger sister, so you must not be satisfied with just that. You must not only learn numbers, you must also learn mathematics, etiquette, imperialism, and sorcery.

Uh-oh. ............"

Yume winces, but that is not the end of the class.

The morning is spent studying.

Lunch is taken alone, of course, without Wright.

After the lunch break, the afternoons were spent mainly exercising to maintain their strength and health.

From Yume's point of view, this was by far easier than the morning classes.

After the workout, the students would work up a sweat and go to dinner.

After dinner, they have free time before going to bed.

During the free time, sometimes Nazuna would come to Yume's room as an escort.

This was the basic daily life cycle of the yume.

Compared to life on the ground, it was safer, more comfortable, and of higher quality than in the racial (human) kingdom.

But what about Yume's feelings?

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Woo ......"

I'm sorry, Yume. I didn't come to see you much."

Woo ......!

I, Light, was safely reunited with Yume, my own sister who had been separated from me.

I was able to take her in to the lowest level of the "abyss," the safest and most comfortable place in this world.

However, for a while, he was busy with his business - working on the ground world to take revenge on the members of the "Gathering of Tribes" and to investigate the truth of this world, etc. He was also busy with paperwork.

As a result, after not seeing Yume for a rather long period of time, ...... she became very sulky.

Now, when I show up to Yume's room, she clings to me and doesn't want to leave me.

So I had to sit on the sofa, hug her and try to get her in a good mood.

As I tried to get her in a good mood, her attitude gradually softened and she began to complain about the current situation.

At first I enjoyed being taken care of by the maids, they were like Princess Lilith, but ...... they wouldn't let me do anything, and on the contrary, it was exhausting. I don't like studying because it's not interesting. I want to play more with my sister Nazna and stay with Ni-chan!"

Yume's argument is not hard to understand.

I myself enjoyed being Fu Fu by others in a sense at first, but I gradually became tired of their gazes, and until I got used to it, it became conversely stressful.

Even studying is not fun, and I understand the feeling of wanting to play all the time.

I also wanted to relax with Yume, ...... but

I understand how you feel. But studying is necessary for your future, so let's do our best. When you finish your studies and have some free time, you can play with Nazuna as you like when it suits you. If you are tired of being served by the fairy maids, let's talk about how much you can do by yourself and how much you can leave to them.　And I want to be with Yume too. But--"

I was at a loss for words, and I was about to overflow with words about my hatred for the "Gathering of Tribes" and the hidden truths of the world.

I didn't want Yume to hear my words.

I suppress it with my strength and make a smile.

I want to be with you too, but I still have some things to do. When things settle down, I'll make more time for you, so please bear with me until then."

If you say so, Yume, I'll put up with it. I'll do my best in my studies and I'll talk it over with the maids."

Thank you, Yume.

I pat my sister on the back as she clings to me on her knees.

She sometimes sulks, but she's cute and hardworking, and she's really too good for me.

I can't help but want to spoil her, so I ask her.

I ask her, "Not to make amends, but is there anything you want or want to eat?　I'll give you whatever you want.

...... Really?"

Yeah!　It's true. It's just what I can prepare.

Yume, who had been clinging to him, looks up.

With a twinkle in her big eyes, she told us what she wanted.

Yume, I want to grow flowers. I also want to cook.

Flowers and cooking?"

It's a bit of an unexpected combination, and I can't help but ask back.

She proudly conveys it with her thin chest.

Yume, the head maid at the castle taught me how to take care of flower beds and grow flowers. I also learned how to cook. Both were very interesting, so I want to continue.

Hmmm ......"

Aside from flower beds, there is essentially no need for Yume to go to the trouble of learning to cook.

Basic dishes are made from "Infinite Gacha" cards or by cooks.

In addition, fairy maids can cook to some extent.

Therefore, there is no need for Yume to learn how to cook. ......

The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to be prepared to pay for it.

I understand. I'll make a place for you to grow flowers. I'll also make arrangements for her to learn how to cook.

Thank you, Niichan!"

Yume hugs me tightly with a big smile on her face.

I may be spoiling her a little, but if she's this happy, it's a good thing.

I was able to lighten my own heart thanks to our first face to face conversation in a while.

After that, Yume got off my lap and sat down next to me and happily told me what she was going to grow in her flowerbed, what kind of food she was going to cook, and how she was going to make it for Ni-chan to eat someday.

Thus, Yume and I had a good time together for the first time in a long time.
