Episode 7 – Drowning in Hunger.

I have since lived in the Heart mansion as a servant; one week will pass soon.

When I came to the mansion, I was talking to the black sword Greed, so the surrounding people saw me as a dangerous person. I'll admit that was a blunder.

However, the servants of the Heart family are all good people, they accepted me for who I am.

Even though the days pass by peacefully, I have a lot of things to learn and memorize, so I am very busy and don't have time to leave the mansion.

Cooking, Washing, Cleaning… I tried various jobs, and the one most suitable for me is Gardener.

To maintain such a sprawling garden really needs considerable perseverance. Pulling out constantly growing weeds, occasionally arranging the grass height.

With three master gardeners teaching me, I somewhat managed to do it well enough. And, if my skill improved, they said that they would let me maintain some garden trees by myself. Someday I would like to prune the very thick tree at the front gate.

Being needed as a person, I feel rewarded for my work.

I gave up my vacation time, pletely devoted in my new job.

Moreover, when the dishes for the servants were lined up on the table after working, there was meat there.

When I saw it, my hands were trembling. After five years, there was meat. It was natural that I was tensed up.

With an improvement in nutrients, I think I have gained a little bit weight from my previous skinny body.

Oh, after Roxy got back from her duties in the castle, she invited me to drink tea with her in my free time. Honestly, the conversation with Holy Knight-sama is… I have no idea what to say at all. Thus, Roxy has talked one-sidedly.

But, she seems to have fun when she does, so it's all good for me.

When I pare the time I was being a daily gatekeeper under Rafal, there is a great difference like between heaven and earth.

Of course, Roxy-sama is heaven. The other side is the hell.

Even if I should be happy with it, I don't know why… Recently, my body's condition is very bad. The feeling of hunger doesn't stop, it keeps growing and I can't suppress it. This is definitely because I am starving.

Like now, I still feel it throbbing with pain.

[Fay, how have you been?]

While she puts the tea cup on its plate, Roxy looks at me anxiously.

It is only at this time, when we have our two-person tea party, which has bee a daily occurance, does she call me Fay.

I was called by that nickname when my father was still alive and it was quite embarrassing. However, since my master-sama wanted to call me Fay, I forced myself to accept it.

When I consulted about it with the Black Sword Greed, he just said [How should I know? Think for yourself] while mocking me. So, whenever Roxy calls me Fay, I had a feeling of discontent.

[It's nothing, Roxy-sama]
