Help
After eating breakfast, I immediately left the dining room and entered the living room.
Then, I put my feet into the kotatsu placed in the middle of the room. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Aaah, it’s warm……」
I let out a relieved voice feeling the warmth enveloping the lower half of my body.
I already poured some mana into the kotatsu before breakfast so the inside of the kotatsu is cozy.
There’s no need to wait and waste your time waiting until the inside of the kotatsu is warm before I insert my feet into it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「There’s no one here, I’ll get inside the kotatsu」
After warming my hands and feet, I lifted the futon and went into the kotatsu.
If I were an adult I wouldn’t be able to enter because my body is big or my feet will stuck out, but my body now is small so the current me has no trouble entering the kotatsu.
My whole body is completely inside kotatsu.
There was a faint light source inside from the fire magic tool that glowed red inside the kotatsu.
It’s a little hot due to the space being completely sealed, so I made some changes to the fire magic tool to lower the temperature.
This is perfect.
Aah, my whole body is warm. It’s as if I’ve become a fetus right now.
I want to become one with the kotatsu. I have a lover called ‘bed’, but it was so amazing I couldn’t help myself thinking like that.
Should I take a nap in the kotatsu like this?
「――found you」
As I was dozing off with my eyes closed, the futon was suddenly lifted and Sara peered inside.
My heart was beating fast with the sudden turn of events and Sara’s shapely face in front of me.
「He was really here!」
「It’s just as Sara expected」
「Are you a cat, boy」
When I showed my face outside the kotatsu, there was Mina with her surprised expression, Mel with an astonished expression, and Bartolo there. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Eh? What?」
「Boy, can I bother you for a moment?」
「No. I’m busy warming myself in the kotatsu」
There was a sign of this to be a troublesome matter so I refused Bartolo and drew back into the kotatsu.
Rather than Bartolo alone, there were also Mina, Mel, and Sara here. It’s definitely going to be troublesome.
It won’t be something pleasant like cooking something, right.
「Please help us somehow」
「Uwaaa!」
Just as I was shutting myself inside the kotatsu, Bartolo lifted the futon and inserted only his face into the kotatsu.
It’s intense - in many ways - to have Bartolo’s frightening face suddenly show up right in front of you.
「Alfried-sama, please!」
「We are not going to ask you to do something troublesome」
As I change my posture and avert my face, I see Mina’s foolish face on the other side.
Next to her is the languid-looking face of Mel.
And then, in the first place when they lifted the futon is the shapely face of Sara.
I was surrounded by faces on all four sides of the kotatsu.
If a third party had been present they would be able to see a surreal scene of 4 large adults surrounding a kotatsu with only their faces sticking in.
「Hey don’t cover your face. Rather, everyone is too desperate」
「It’s because whether Alfried-sama helps us or not will make a large difference in how busy we will be!」
「Okay fine. I will listen to you all for now so pull out your faces」
「Un, understoo――」
Yosh, the moment Mina and the others pull out their faces from the kotatsu, I will use Psychic to fix the kotatsu in place, and firmly close the futon. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
As long as I close the futon like that I’m sure the four of them give up.
「No, I we can not do that. If we pull back now Alfried-sama may use his magic to shut himself inside the kotatsu」
「Tha, that’s right! We will stay like this until you listen to our request!」
Hearing Sara’s words, the careless Mina turned her face back toward me.
Maybe it’s because she was the one who comes to wake me up usually, it looks like Sara can see through my thoughts.
Che, how sharp.
「Fine. I will listen to you all」
Resigned to my fate, I pushed aside Mina’s face and decided to leave the kotatsu.
As expected, even I won’t be able to relax with 4 people’s faces sticking into the kotatsu like that.
And maybe because the futon was pulled up the heat inside the kotatsu completely escapes.
「So what did everyone want me to do?」
「Actually we’re thinking of doing a major cleanup. We would like you boy to help us」
「Eeh, I will be the one doing the cleaning?」
「Even if we asked for your help, we just want you to lift the furniture with magic. It would be easy if you just lift the sofa, table, chairs, and cupboard, right?」
「Ahー, so it’s like that」
The servants in the Slowlett house are quite a few in number.
The everyday tasks work smoothly since everyone is excellent at their job and we don’t do any unnecessary chores, but when it comes to labor-intensive work there is nothing we can do about it.
There is just one sofa in the living room but it’s quite heavy. Bartolo would be able to lift it up, but it would take quite a long time if he did it by himself.
It will be easy to lift the furniture in the air using Psychic, but I just wanted to stay warm and cozy in the kotatsu today.
I mean, I decided to take a nap in the kotatsu earlier. So when I feel like that, I really don’t feel like doing anything else. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Does it have to be today?」
「It is convenient we do it today since everyone left the mansion. It is our chance to clean the mansion」
Just when I hinted that I didn’t want to do it today, Mel explained the reason why it had to be today.
「Eh? No way? There’s no one in the mansion now?」
「Eleonora-sama went to the vigilante corps practice. Nord-sama, Elna-sama, and Sylvio-sama went out to inspect the village」
I thought it was strangely quiet in the mansion, so I was the only one here?
「They mentioned it during breakfast, you know?」
「I wasn’t listening」
Mina told me about it while looking slightly doubtful, but I was only thinking about entering the kotatsu at that time so I guess it just slipped through my ears.
「That’s why boy, please help us!」
Bartolo asked me while clasping his hands together as if begging me.
Bartolo is especially necessary since he is the one with the most things to do in a major cleanup.
「As thanks, I will make your favorite food for some time, alright?」
「No way, only Mina will be the one happy about it」
「That’s true」
「Hey, I feel like I’m being made fun of!?」
「Then, how can we persuade you so you can help us?」
Everyone ignores Mina as she is astonished by what we said, and Bartolo asks me with a sincere gaze.
「……what about allowing me to take a break from sword practice like today?」
Even in cold winter, the sword practice continues.
Nord-tousan won’t listen to it no matter how much I insist I don’t want to do it due to the cold, so my plan is to pull Bartolo and the others to talk with him to let me skip the practice.
「Hmー, taking a break from Nord’s practice, huhー……fine. Let’s do it!」
After being troubled over my request for a bit, Bartolo directly nodded.
「Can you do it?」
Although I asked for it myself, it’s quite difficult to get a break from Nord-tousan’s practice.
He won’t allow it unless there are noble visitors, or in the case of extremely important matters, or when you get sick.
And among my siblings, he’s particularly strict toward me when it comes to deciding on things.
「Yeah, there are some jobs when having your assistance is helpful. I’ll use that excuse to help you out」
「Ooh, as expected from Bartolo. I’m looking forward to it」
Bartolo looked like a refreshing prince when he told me he would help free me from the chains of practice.
「Bartolo-san, please do your best!」
「Please take care」
「I will be expecting a lot from you」
「Err no, you girls will also help you know」
Looking at Bartolo retorting to the maids who were trying to preserve their own safety early, I became a little worried. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
