[Oh, Your Highness, please come back soon. Please come back.]

[Ah, Mara, I’m sorry, but I have a request.]

While being held in the arms of a man, I experienced a magical transfer for the first time and arrived at the man’s home.

This is his home?

The room was simple, but luxurious, filled with antiques and expensive furniture. The entire room felt very elegant in nature.

Wait. I’ve been escaping reality all this time, but hey, is it just me, or is everyone calling this man ‘Your Highness’? No way, right? Let’s keep escaping reality!~

Rabbit is seeking peace and quiet! Peace of mind is a necessity to live!

I also noticed that the man was watching this rabbit, but I decided not to care. It seems this man will just keep me as a pet, judging from what he said earlier. It won’t hurt, right? Of course not! I’ll be fine. I’ll be free to spend my time as I wish. Yeah.

This black rabbit is an escapist, after all.

While thinking about such a cowardly and timid ideal, Mara, who was called earlier, brought a basket about the size of a chest. The inside is full of white cushions, which look to be very comfortable.

Maybe it’s my bed?

[Kuro, in.]

…No way, is that my new name? Really? Oh well; it does really look comfortable, so I’ll jump in.

The man squats down, and I jump from his arms and head towards the basket. I was quickly overwhelmed however, at the sudden realization of just how big everything is. Everything is bigger than I am, and unease crept over me.

As someone who likes dark places and corners, this new world was enough to make me want to cry. Trembling, I tucked my nose under my paws, and tried to calm down. While crouched, my long ears picked up the sound of sniffling and shuffling. Why was it so noisy behind me?

I look up to confirm.

Everyone is trembling with their hands on their mouths. Their faces are red, maybe because it’s hard to breathe like that? Their eyes are all on me though, for sure.

Wait, I’m still trying to grasp the situation. What happened?

With that in mind, I naturally turn my face towards them and tilt my head. ‘What’s going on?’ I ask.

[“Cha!”] (Mara)

[Fufu”] (Al)

[Gofu …!] (Man)

(T/N: Cute damage +99999999999!)

These three people returned strange reactions. I just can’t figure out what’s going on.

[Oh! It’s cute! Tilt your neck more!]

[Until now, I only thought dogs were cute, but now I see. Small animals are also healing.]

[…Cute] (Man)

Well, I don’t know what just happened, but it’s all fixed now. Let’s say I didn’t hear the man say that. I don’t know how to react to that.

Finally, I was able to hop into the basket under everyone’s warm gaze.

Hah, I’m much calmer now. This basket is quite narrow; a good fit.

[… Now, Your Highness. Kuro-sama is safe in the basket and has quieted down, so let’s concentrate on our work.]

[…]

[You can’t just stare at me. Please do your official duties well. If you finish your work quickly, you can spend more time with Kuro-sama.]

As soon as he hears Al-san’s words, he moves his hands so quickly that several more arms seem to appear. Oh, can you do this kind of trick? It’s amazing.

A familiar orange flicker caught my attention from the corner of my eye. I can’t help turning to look. It’s a carrot. Oh carrots! My beloved! And moreover, this is a better looking carrot than I’ve ever seen before!

[Please,enjoy these carrots, Kuro-sama. They were picked from Royal Gardens this morning.]

Mara squats down, offering carrots to me. Her face is warm, if somewhat wrinkled, and her eyes are chocolate brown. Mara was dressed as a maid. There is a veteran atmosphere around her, like she had worked here for many years. However, it was not a harsh atmosphere, but rather, a soft demeanor and an aura that surrounded her. It was enough to make any opponent soften and hesitate. It may be because of her chocolate-colored eyes, light brown and calm.

Her height is … maybe average? Because of that, she was shorter than the other two men I had just met (they are men, after all). I can say with confidence that the distance between us was just right.

From gentle Mara, I received a fine carrot by hand.

Hmm, as expected it’s delicious. Don’t worry about the Royal Garden, it’s delicious as expected! (T/N This isn’t quite what it says, but the original was something about eating stones?)

Mogumogu (Nibble)

[Mogumogu…!]

[Your Highness, do your best. You can do it when you’re done.]

BANG. A loud noise sounded and I flinched, surprised. I tensed, and looked at the source of the sound.

It seems the man had head-butted the desk with all his might? Wow, isn’t the desk dented? Is that blood coming out of his forehead? I continued to nibble on the carrot, thinking, stopping twice. Both times, I gave the carrot a squeeze and continued to chew, until I’d eaten the whole thing.

[The Kuro-sama who gets frightened is also wonderful. Fufu.]

Mara, you say I’m wonderful no matter what. Isn’t that a bad habit?

I tilted my head, questioning the man as to why he’d do such a thing, slamming his head into the desk, while holding a carrot in my mouth.The atmosphere soon became devilish, full of fighting force and the feeling that the man was resisting something incredible.

Hmm, I wonder if the documents are really that important?

Soon after, I was given another fine carrot, so I decided to stop thinking. Thank you for dinner!~

This Black Rabbit is laid back, after all.

T/N: Hello! This is my first time translating, so hopefully it goes well. Currently this series has about 34 chapters. It hasn’t been updated in some time, so we’ll see what happens.

For now, this seems like a fairly laid back and easy novel for a first attempt, plus I didn’t notice an official translation or paywall, so hopefully there won’t be any legal troubles!

I haven’t decided about honorifics outside of Kuro-sama’s name, such as Mara-san remaining as Mara for now, but I’ve kept most of the SFX the same. Speaking of names, if you haven’t noticed, Kuro = Black. Our MC’s name is literally Blackie. Such creativity there, Your Majesty.

Additional note: Kuro is a girl! Pronouns are wacky with MT, so I had to read ahead a few chapters to make sure.
