Spoiled and Useless Person


It’s an especially hot summer day. If it was the average hot day I would go to the river or just use Wind magic to cool off, but there is no wind today, and the temperature is also ridiculously hot so I decided to spray cold air using Ice magic and shut myself in my room. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And then, perhaps knowing that I will have such a comfortable place, Sylvio-niisan and Eleonora-neesan enter uninvited wearing their jinbei.
Sylvio-niisan places a slime cushion on his bottom and starts to read his book, Eleonora-neesan is occupying my bed as she likes, appearing to be checking the feeling of the slime cushion, maybe she’s curious about it.
Incidentally, Sylvio-niisan’s jinbei is navy blue while Eleonora-neesan is the black color for men.
Whether it’s a happy or sad thing, Eleonora-neesan’s body has few ‘ups and down’, so the clothes look completely stylish on her body. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
There are no people who are knowledgeable about Kagura’s culture around here, and it looks like Eleonora-neesan believes that jinbei is also used by women. If she knows the truth then she will definitely get mad and it will become a problem, but such a day would not come. I mean, I’ve also told Tori and Roomba to keep quiet about it.

「What? You’ve been staring at me」

Maybe she notices I was staring at her while I’m thinking about such a thing that Eleonora-neeesan turns to look back at me.
'That jinbei, they are for men, you know'. No way I can say that.

「……nah, I just thought ‘That jinbei looks good on neesan
「Re, really? Well, it’s cool to wear and easy to move in, so I also like this jinbei

Eleonora-neesan happily replies when I evasively ask her that.
For the time being, it’s great that she looks to be pleased with the jinbei. Oh well, judging from Eleonora-neesan’s personality, I thought she will definitely like the jinbei since it’s easy to wear, cool, and easy to move in.

「Since the two of you are wearing jinbei, I will also wear one 」

The two of them are wearing jinbei in my room and I’m the only one who is wearing normal clothes, so it looks uncomfortable.
Besides, it’s going to be easier to spend time our wearing jinbei on hot days like today.
Opening the closet, I take out a gray jinbei from the hanger and pants from the drawer, and then I change my clothes into those.
For a guy, things like changing clothes can be completed quickly. I change my clothes while trying not to show something unseemly as much as possible, with a speed that takes niisan and neesan presence in mind.
Now then, what to do?
The option of lying on my bed was no longer available to me since Eleonora-neesan is on the bed.
Should I just quietly lie down on the carpet and read a book?
I can imagine Eleonora-neesan will use my slime cushion. So thinking that such a situation might happen, I already always had some slime cushions prepared in my room.
Thanks to that, I also have a slime cushion for me now.
If their number increases, any feeds will do for them so they’re also easy to manage. They also don’t give you any trouble. They also have no ferocious nature, and they’re a good choice to have even if you have them as pets since it doesn’t take too much time to take care of.
I chill the slime cushion with Ice magic and make it as firm as I like, and then use it in exchange for a pillow and lie on my back.
After that, I use Psychic to pull the Dragon Slayer book and reread it again, I continue to turn over the pages in front of me with Psychic and read the contents of the book. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It’s a bit dark since I’m facing upward, but I don’t need to hold the book with my hand with this so my arm won’t get sore. It’s a splendid method of reading.
I guess he notices me doing that. Sylvio-niisan calls out to me, sounding a little excited.

Waah, amazing. Is that the usual magic you use? Your hands will not get sore if you do that」
「Right? I don’t have to turn over the pages by myself, and there’s also no need to worry of the book falling」

I don’t even have to move my hand to turn the pages after all, so I can concentrate on reading without getting distracted. And when I raise my body after reading the book, there will also be no tragedy of accidentally dropping the book and hitting my face, so it’s a safe method of reading.

「……as usual, Al is using magic in a strange manner」

Despite when I mention the advantage of using this method, Eleonora-neesan still makes an amazed expression.
From the perspective of Eleonora-neesan - who doesn’t like to read books -, this kind of groundbreaking application of magic will look silly to her.
Even though it’s enjoyable to read a book quietly, what a shame.

「That certainly looks convenient, but I also like the feeling of turning over the pages......」

Sylvio-niisan gently brushes his own book while saying that.
From Sylvio-niisan’s - who is a book lover by nature - perspective, the weight when he reads a book and the smell of paper,  the movement of turning over the pages, and the sounds rubbing against paper would also be part of the pleasure in reading a book.
Sylvio-niisan, he really likes books, didn’t he?
And after a while, a relaxing time takes place, where Sylvio-niisan and I start to get inside the world of our books, while Eleonora-neesan is just rolling around on the bed.
There is only the sound of us breathing, and the sound of us turning the pages of the books inside my room. Only the sound of Eleonora-neesan moving too much while touching the slime resounds quietly inside the room.

Hawaaー, it’s cold and feels nice」

I thought it was a really quiet period for us, then a muffled voice comes from the direction of the door.
……this voice, it’s Mina.
Eleonora-neesan and Sylvio-niisan notice it too, they look toward the door but after deciding that there’s no particular harm in that, they stop looking at the door. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
However, the door makes a creaking sound, and we look toward the door again.

「I knew it, the cold air leaks out from Alfried-sama’s room」

That Mina, she’s sticking herself to the door of my room in order to enjoy the cold air leaking out from inside, huh?
No wonder, and here I thought that the door has been making creaking sounds from earlier. Are you a cat or what?

「I’m kinda curious
「Well, we can let her in as a break if she’s quiet. It’s hot today」

Today is especially hot. Wearing long sleeves and a maid uniform that has a long skirt will double the heat. Although Mina is a poor maid, it would be fine to do this and show our appreciation for her work.
Moreover, it bothers me even if she’s just sticking herself in front of the door
While still lying down, I use the non-attribute magic Psychic to move the doorknob and open the door.

Kyaaaa! The door――fubeeh!」

Immediately after that, Mina’s posture collapsed and she fell face down - guess she’s been leaning against the door.

「It hurst! Ow, that’s awful! I hit my nose!」

Mina says while holding her nose with teary eyes.

「Ah, sorry. I’m sorry, you can cool off inside the room instead」
「Really!? Then I won’t hesitate, please excuse me!」

And when I tell her that, Mina returns to being lively again as if she had forgotten about the fact that she hit her nose.
I feel like she was thinking of trying to use the fact that she hit her nose as a pretext to intrude inside.

「Ahh, as expected from Alfried-sama’s room. It’s filled with cold air and very cool」
「It’s hotter than usual today」
「It’s not hot! Compared to outside, this room is hell, you know! And despite that, Sara and Mel-san gave me an errand to go to the village and do garden work, they are demons!」

Mina suddenly kept on talking on and on while looking as if she was about to cry. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Eh, but, that is Mina――」
「Eleonora-neesan, you don’t have to say it now」

I stop Eleonora-neesan as she was about to say something tactless.
We know about it. The task assigned to Mina were not malicious harassment from Mel and Sara, it was Mina’s punishment for oversleeping and falling behind the usual schedule.
To begin with, it doesn’t mean that you can’t do your job even if it’s hot. Even when it’s hot you will still get hungry, and when you eat food then you will run out of ingredients. As a result, someone has to go outside to do the shopping.
But, this is a comfortable place to heal your mind and body. There is no need to point out something like that.

「That must have been tough, Mina. Thanks for your hard work. You can now have a break in this cool room to your heart’s content」
「Aahh, Alfried-sama’s kind words are touching my heart!」

That’s right, there’s no need to think about things like your bitterness when you work here. Such encouragement and appreciation are enough.
Even if you know that it’s something obvious, there are also times when you want to be praised.
I understand that feeling reeーally well since I’ve experienced the time being a corporate slave.

「Now then, here, I also have a cold slime cushion. You can enjoy it as much as you like 」
「Thank you very much. But, I would like it to be a bit softer!」

Ahh, this cheeky person is indeed our Mina.
Helplessly, I use Fire magic to adjust the softness of the slime cushion while thinking about that and then I pass the slime cushion to Mina.

「Ahh, I can’t get enough of this moderate softness and elasticity! Ah also, Alfried-sama, I would be glad if you make the temperature inside the room a bit cooler than this. I’m wearing maid clothes so, it’s hot」

……this person is the kind of a spoiled person if you spoil them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I was convinced of that after looking at the poor maid lying down on the carpet.
