Chapter 46

Please read it in a casual tone m(_ _)m

This is a chapter about the protagonist's unfortunate situation.

From that day on, my difficult daily life began.

To put it simply, Lord Rain tries to chant magic spells every chance he gets.

I immediately try to stop Lord Rain.

"Lo, Lord Rain! D, do you need to go to the bathroom!!"

The next day, I ended up shouting loudly to stop Lord Rain from chanting.

Lord Rain was confused and said,

"Huh? What? What's this sudden thing!?"

I made a strained excuse.

"W, well, I thought you might want to go to the bathroom."

He sighed and said,

"Alright, but..."

"S, so that's it. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. Then let's get started..."

Oh no, what should I do! What should I do! I know!

"Lo, Lord Rain! H, how about we go to the garden?"

"I don't want to go."

Oh.

"I, I've never been to the garden before..."

I looked down dejectedly.

"Oh, that's true. Then let's go."

Yes!

And somehow, I managed to get through the day.

The next day, that time came again.

"O god of water..."

"Please wait, Lord Rain! A, actually, don't you want to play with me today?"

"I don't want to play."

Oh.

"W, what should I do..."

"Anyway, why don't you continue yesterday's writing practice?"

That takes time. I can't afford to miss Lord Rain's chanting if I focus too much on that.

"N, no, I, I feel like playing today!"

"But you're a slave, right??"

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I forgot. What should I do. A slave wanting to play...

As I was dejected again,

"Ah... I understand. Then let's play tag, no, rabbit hunting."

"Rabbit hunting? Okay! I'll be the hunter, so please run away."

Rabbit hunting is a game where one hunter chases other rabbits who are running away. I often played it with my friends in the village... Thinking about it makes me want to cry. No! Scuna! I have to focus on the present!!

"Alright, I'll run."

Saying that, he started running with the book in his arms.

So fast!

Oh no, if he keeps running, I'll lose sight of him.

I hurriedly chased after him... but Lord Rain stopped in front of the door.

It seems he couldn't open the door.

Phew... That was close.

"I got you, Lord Rain."

"......I'm not convinced."

He was dejected, adding a strange word at the end.

The next day,

"Scuna, I'd like to have a rematch."

Lord Rain, still holding the book, spoke to me.

"Alright."

As long as he doesn't chant, anything is fine.

This time, we went out into the hallway.

"Then, please be the hunter like yesterday, Scuna."

"Alright."

Today, Lord Rain's attendant maid is also here.

I think it will be fine.

"Then,"

Saying that, he turned his back and started running.

So fast! But it's not impossible to catch up.

Just as I was about to chase after him,

Bang! Thud! Whoosh!!

He fell down.

We hurriedly ran over to him. The maid easily picked up Lord Rain.

"Lord Rain, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

She asked.

"Yes... I'm fine..."

He said listlessly.

Maybe he hit something strange...

Ignoring my worries,

"Is that so?"

She casually put Lord Rain down.

"Huh? A, about the injury..."

"No, I said it's fine. It's just a normal fall."

I sighed in relief.

"Is that so. Then why were you not energetic?"

She asked, turning her face away and holding her head.

Oh, what should I do, what should I do.

Did he hit his head...

Then the maid said,

"No, he's not really hurt. He's just embarrassed because he fell before Scuna even started running, despite challenging her seriously. Lord Rain, you fell because you were running with a thick book in your hands."

Oh, I see. That's good...

Then,

"Uwaaaaaahhhhh..."

He shouted, put down the book, and ran away.

What's wrong with him?

Anyway, I secured the book.

The next day,

"Scuna, today I will have my rematch!"

He came to my room, carried by the maid, with great enthusiasm.

"H, ha..."

Today, unlike yesterday, he's not carrying a book.

Then there's no need for a competition.

But Lord Rain's face was very serious, so I accepted.

"Then, the rules are the same as yesterday."

Saying that, he turned his back and started running.

I forgot to mention, but running in the hallway is strictly forbidden.

"..."

"..."

What should I do...

I looked at the maid.

"Yes... Why don't you chase after him?"

Saying that, I started running.

Because of the maid's uniform, it's hard to run, and if it tears, I can't afford to replace it, so I ran slowly, lifting the hem.

Of course, there was no way I could catch up with Lord Rain. As I was running slowly and about to turn a corner, I saw Lord Rain being scolded by the lady of the house.

I heard later that the maid had informed the lady of the house the day before.

That day, I managed to end without him chanting.

How long will this go on?
