Chapter 13 – 13. Eating Out
Evangeline, who shared her story with Margaret, emphasized to her to keep her secret.
“The fact that John is immune to curses… Can’t you tell me too?”
[Why?]
“Because there are some witches who can figure it out just because our cute pupil knows.”
Even if she was only a witch she knew right away, she was a witch of records who recorded everything in the world, a witch of dreams who roamed people’s unconscious, a witch of fate who revealed the fate that would benefit her the most, and so on.
Besides that, since the world is wide and there are many witches, a witch she doesn’t know might appear and target John.
“Of course, I am invincible in front of the disciple I love, but I won’t be able to last forever while protecting Yohan.”
In that sense, it was a good thing that Margaret showed up and found out about Johann’s secret. She is the witch of space, and running away was the best.
In the fact that even her other witches could not see her unless she herself would reveal herself, she could be sure her John would be safe with her alone.
[… ] … Great. I won’t tell you]
“Yes! Thank you!”
[Instead of that, I want to live here too]
“…… Well, that’s about it. It’s not that difficult.”
[Thank you]
After finishing her conversation, Margaret turned her head and looked at the room John had entered. A man he could see himself. Perhaps, he is the only one in this world. He couldn’t miss it. No matter what.
* * *
The moment I opened my eyes, I woke up with a strange feeling.
‘What, why am I sleeping…….’
She has no idea why she is sleeping in bed or what she was doing before sleeping. When I looked out the window, it was just about sunset, so I wasn’t asleep because it was night.
“Master…… ?”
When I carefully got up and went out into the living room, strangely, the Master was nowhere to be seen. As she walks around her house looking for her, she hears a splash behind her back.
Master didn’t take a bath well, so he felt strange and turned his head back – there stood a ghost all wet with water.
“Uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-! Ears, ghosts… !”
“…… Who is the ghost?”
The moment I brushed aside my hair, which stretched forward like wet seaweed, I realized that what was in front of me was not a ghost, but a witch who had introduced herself as Margaret.
And, the moment I realized her existence—I remembered everything that happened before I fainted.
The things that she tried to kidnap me, and the things that she was actually a ghost invisible to her master.
“Ears, you’re a ghost!”
“Even if not? Why can’t you hear me? Are your ears blocked?”
Drill it? Seeing Margaret staring at me as if to say that, I shook my head. Even the common people said that the fearful blackmail became the blackmail that threatened her life if the witch did it.
“That, but——even Master said he couldn’t see it…….”
“Why can’t you see? The reason I am here in the first place is because Evangeline gave permission.”
“Yes? Master?”
“Yes. By the way?”
Looking at her tilting her head, asking if she was asking something so obvious, I began to stiffen. No then what, she was a witch and not a real ghost? And I’m haunted by a witch or what, did she commit her foolishness?
Realizing this, my hands and feet trembled and cold sweat broke out. Hopefully this witch doesn’t have an eccentric personality.
“Ah—and, since I decided to live here from today.”
“…… Yes?”
“I don’t even need to treat you as a VIP, but treat me as a guest. Don’t fuck with my underwear.”
“…… S, even to Master- those words. Did you…?”
Gulp—I asked while swallowing saliva, and she, lost in thought for a moment, looked at me with a smile as to what was so interesting.
“What do you think he would have done?”
Watching her answer questions with questions, I felt my heart stop. If you tell Master about it, then you’re already fucked up- even if you didn’t tell her.
As long as she decided to live with me in this cabin, couldn’t I tell Master about my misconduct at any time? She said there was no need to treat her greatly, but that’s just what she said, and there is a reason to treat her like a master.
“From now on, will you please? A cute disciple.”
“…… Margaret-sama, I would like to ask you one thing first.”
“What?”
“…… Please wear clothes at home.”
Hearing that, she burst into laughter and said no.
One more witch has increased.
A naked witch.
* * *
After adding one more person to the cabin, my work has more than doubled.
Since there is one more person to serve, I wondered if it would be normal to double the number of things to do, but in the first place, Master was not the one who ordered me to do something, and the new guest, Margaret, was the type to ask me to do a lot.
“Hey, could you bring me some blankets for my room? Oh, and pillows too.”
“Cut the food into bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat and bring it to me.”
“I will use only the tableware I brought, so take care of it.”
“Ah! Make a cup of tea every two hours and bring it to me.”
“…… Yes, I understand.”
Ji is not some kind of baby, he asks me for everything from one to ten. Everything, even the smallest things that made me wonder if I had no hands.
At first, he even asked me to scoop the food himself, so he said everything. It was fortunate that Master, who couldn’t see her actions, yelled at her instead.
‘No, why are you making me do everything…… Don’t you know how to do anything?’
And— while serving her, I found out two things.
For some reason, Master doesn’t see her.
It wasn’t like he couldn’t be seen at all, but he seemed to know roughly where he was and what he was doing.
As proof of that, Master didn’t pay much attention to the fact that she was dripping with water behind her after she had finished taking a bath.
“John? One more glass of this, please.”
“All right.”
“—Ah, what is—drinking tea? Disciple-kun, I’d like a drink too.”
It was difficult to keep an eye on her behavior as she confidently walked around the house with her wet hair covering only her nipples and pubic area.
However, when I was watching her walking around naked, she felt her gaze and approached me naked and sexually harassed me with a sinister smile.
“Hey, what is it? Are you excited? Do you need panties?”
“…… No, I don’t need it.”
“Yes? John, what do you need?”
“Ah, I didn’t say that to Master.”
And second, Master can’t even hear her voice.
Of course, she also has means of expressing her thoughts, but at least it doesn’t seem to be an easy way. It is because he asked me to convey it instead of him whenever he had something to say, whether it is difficult to convey even a simple word.
Thanks to that, I was able to escape from worrying that she would tell Master about daughters and all, but…… It wasn’t too much trouble to convey words.
“Disciple. Let’s eat meat tonight, meat.”
“…… Master, Margaret said she wants meat for dinner.”
“Tell them to bake it themselves.”
“Did you hear?”
“Eh—it’s annoying to bake it, but the disciple-kun will bake it for you.”
“I’m bothered too.”
After being told that the meat would not be grilled, Margaret puffed out her cheeks in displeasure and began whining.
After whining for a while, Margaret clapped her hands saying she had a good idea.
“Oh yeah. If you don’t mind grilling meat, how about eating out?”
“…… Eating out?”
“Yes. I know a restaurant that grills delicious meat. Oh, since I can’t go alone, someone has to go with me…….”
“Where is a place to eat near here….”
“I’m good at teleportation, so I can come and go quickly.”
When I heard the word eating out, I felt my eyes open. Are you eating out? It’s something I haven’t done once since I fell into this world.
I looked at Master gently with pitiful eyes. After hearing my words, Master inferred what Margaret had said, and sighed.
“Go and come.”
“Yes? Won’t Master go with you?”
“I hate eating out.”
“Ah…”
Originally, I had to say that I didn’t like eating out too much, and that I would eat with Master. I knew in my head I had to do that, but….
It was also the first outing after falling to another world, excluding the village and cabin.
It wasn’t bad to enjoy an idyllic life with Master Beauty in a cabin in the woods, but I was a civilized person. People of the 21st century who cannot live a day without the benefits of civilization.
“…… I’ll be back soon.”
“…… Okay.”
Leaving behind the disappointed-looking Master, I left the cabin with Margaret.
* * *
Margaret was a nudist who spent most of her time naked, but just like she wasn’t naked the first time I saw her – she wasn’t always naked.
She changed her clothes in an instant, grabbed my hand and began to concentrate for a moment.
“Hey, Margaret-sama…… ?”
“Quiet.”
“Ah, yes.”
I couldn’t figure out what the hell I was trying to do, so when I was yawning and fooling around, at some point I realized that the scenery around me had changed.
Not a cabin in the woods or a country village built with old planks, but a nice city.
“Five…….”
It is said to be a different world, but it was no different from Europe, which we only saw in pictures or videos. So rather than coming to a fantasy world, I walked the streets feeling like I was on a trip to Europe.
“Come this way.”
“Ah, yes.”
After arriving in the city, Margaret led me through the alleys of the city, looking around like a country boy. It looked very familiar, as if I had been there several times.
I followed her, and soon found a door. Margaret stood at the door and beckoned me to go inside.
When I carefully opened the door, the middle-aged man who was washing the dishes inside rolled his eyes and glared at me.
“…… Come on.”
“Ah yes.”
“Are you alone?”
“Two.”
“…… Two people? Well, yes I get it.”
When I sat down at the table following the words of the store owner, he stood and stared blankly at me. It looks like you want to order quickly.
‘No, they didn’t even give me a menu…….’
Expressing dissatisfaction inside, I asked the store owner to show me the menu. Then the shopkeeper looked at me and frowned as if he was talking nonsense.
“There is only one menu in our restaurant. And prepaid.”
“Oh, prepaid…… How much is it?”
“Two gold coins for two people.”
“…… Two gold coins?”
There is no such big money. Looking at Margarit in awe, she wordlessly thrust her hand into the air before pulling out her two gold coins and holding them out.
After handing her the gold coin she received from her, the shopkeeper tilted her head and went into the kitchen without a word.
The sound and smell of meat grilling wafted from the inside. Shortly after hearing that sound, the store owner set down two steak plates on the table and disappeared.
I looked at the store owner leaving, then turned to face Margaret stabbing me with a knife in front of me.
As she turned her head towards her, Margaret asked me what to do.
“What are you doing? Cut it.”
“…… Yes?”
“I want you to cut it.”
No, do I have to work here too?
I thought so, but it’s not like I’m going to touch the water.
It’s okay – they even buy meat. I have to cut it all
“What size do you like?”
“…… Small.”
“Yep.”
I immediately cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and put it into her mouth her. Watching her eat the meat, I cut up my steak and started eating it one by one.
Indeed, the taste was astounding enough to receive one gold coin per plate. And—the store owner gladd at the whole scene. By this point, I had some idea of why he was staring.
“Mrs. Margaret.”
“Why?”
“The witch’s curse…… Are you invisible to people?”
“…… Yes?”
After hearing my words, Margaret looks at me with dumb eyes.
What, why I am not blind either.
However, there was one thing I didn’t know.
“All I can see is…… Why?”
The reason her curse she doesn’t work on me.
I couldn’t figure out why.
